He is merely exercising for a Coulter two. MATHEMATICALLY figured out, the influence of the W.-I. in Omaha stands as six hundred and sixty-four to six thousand nine hundred and cighteen. Tie broweries, tlour mills, elevators and streot car lines in Minneapolis bhave been gobbled by English syndi- cates. A man’s life is worth one whisk of the lion’s tail in that town. Boss OUT ought to contribute lib- erally to the democratic campaign fund. Candidate Cushing’s suppoct of Stout's bill of extras in the legislature de- serves substantial remembrance. THE taxpayers registered an emphat- ic ‘‘yes” for the depot and viaduct bonds. Now let them show equal unanimity in securing the Nebraska Central bridge and settle the railroad question for all time. TWwo railroad bridges are better than one railroad bridge, and two union de- vots will prove of greater ndvantage to Omaha than one. Chicago has half a dozen depots and av least three of theso are union depots. E———— Tie report that Hutchinson, the boss bunko man of Chicago, was caught in the corn squeeze, is too good to be true. It is hardly probable that a sharper of his experience was caught ind pinched at his own game. Tue continued illness of Samuel J. Randall will probably prevent him from taking his seat at the opening of con- gres In fact there is little hope thav he will be able to participate actively in the work of the session. OVER seven thousand votes were cast at the special viaduct and depot elec- tion. This is the largest vote ever polled at a special election in Omaha, and indicates thata very live interest ‘was taken in the issue by our citizens. —— . ‘I'e republican ticket is entitled to the hearty support of every member of the party.

Nothing can be gained by misrepre- sontation, To outsiders the levy may seem very high, but when they are in- formed that the assessments represent only one-fifth of the market value of property they concede that our taxos ave as reasonable as those of any other western oity, The bardship on property owners is chiefly through the special taxes for improvements that necessarily * have ‘to be made, aud by which our ‘property values have been enormovsly THB SILVER CONVENTION. I The St. Louis silver convention did what it was expected to do. It declared in favor of froe coinage. It asserted that a certiticate of the government, backed dollar for dollar by gold and sil- vor coin in the treasury of the United States, is a safo and sound currency. it affirmed that it is necessary to fully re- store silver to its former place in the currency in order to replace the national bank notes that are being surrendered and to vro- vide for the vast sums that must be collected by the cancellation of govern- ment bonds during the next three years, It declared for the equal rights of gold und silver, and expressed the opinion that no nation ever had or ever wiil have too much of these coins. These views ave to be impressed upon the at- tention of the country by a national committoe, and congress will be memor ialized to put them in effect by legisla- tion. Thesilver question is thus brought to the front as a leading subject of public discussion, and its importance 18 hardly second to thatof any other question awaiting the action of con- gress, The prospect of free coinage legisla- tion is, however, not very promising. A free coinage bill can hardly be ex- nected to pass the senate. The senators from the new states will unquestionably favor i, and those who represent the Rocky Mountain states and Pacitic coast always have favored free coinnge. But a large majority of tho senate will continue to oppose this schemo. It is very doubtful whether a free coin- age bill could pass the house, The friends of silver are largely in the ma- jority in that body, but all of these are not favorable to freg, coin: It is not certainly known that such a policy would carry in the house, though a pro- posal to increase the comage tothe maximum amount now provided for by law, which wouid nearly consume what ilver we produce, undoubtedly would. The effort will be to compromise upon bullion as n basis for national bank cur- ren The strongest reason urged against free coinage is the fact that it would turn over the profits on the coinage of siiver dollars to the owners of bullion. At present all sllver is coined on gov- ernment account, That is, the govern- ment purchases all the silver it coins at the market valuation for fine silyer bars. The mints do not take ordersfrom private parties, but purchase lotsof sil- ver not exceeding ten thousand ounces at their counter, paying for it in silver dollars. The silver dollur weighs four hundred and twelve and a half graivs, but it will purchase four hundred and cighty grains of fine silver and leave about seven and a hall cents unex- pended. ‘Chus the government gets an apparent profit of about eighteen per cent. Really, however,sinco the govern- ment accepts the dollar in satisfaction of all dues and demands at one hundred cents, it gains nothing by the trans- action except in enjoying the use of the “seigniorage’ on all coin in circulation until it returns to the treasury. But while the gain to the government is not much under the iegal tender law, 1t is obvious that with k free coinage the owners of silver bullion would make about eighteen per cent on all of the silver they couwld get converted into full legal tender coin, for although they would have to accept payment of anything due them in silver dollars at par, they would not have to redeem any more at par. Bvery dollar coined by the gov- ernment constitutes a par liability, and that liability would remain if the coin- age were unlimited. The owners of bullion would reap the profit. Thisisa consideration which is likely to have weight against the proposal for free coinage. Menntime the silver question, having, as it does, most intimate rela~ tion tothe interests and welfare of the whole peonle, should receive "the widest public discussion and examina- tion. THE QUESTION OF SUBSIDIES. The advocates of steamship subsi- dies have recently been less demon- strative in urging their cause upon public attention, but they are not idle. The question is playing a part in the speakership contest, and there are other evidences of shrewd and careful preparation to bring a gre pressure upon the Rifty-first congress than ever before in bebalf of subsidies. Among those who are giving their influence to this cause 1s the veteran financier and ex- secrotary of “the treasury, Hugh McCulloch. He asserts that all of the great maritime nations have become what they are in respect of the amount of merchant tonnage afloat by giving government aid to stemship lines, either by subsidies or by iiberal pay- ments for services, thatthere is no good reason to suppose that capitalists would build ships, even with free raw mater- ials, and run them in compotition with the well established and powerful foreign lines, without at least as much aid from our government as they have received from theirs, and that the restoration of our merchant marine is a matter of such vital importance to the couniry that he would approve any measure that would effect it. He would profer liberal compensation for carrying the mwails to direct subsidies, but if the lat- ter is necessary to induce capital to en- gage i steamship building he would approve it. Mr. MeCulloch is strongly opposed to the present tariff, and from time to time bas given very excellent reasons for desiring a vrevisioa and re- duction of daties, But if the government were to ndopt a poliey of steamship subsidies, the limit of which it would be almost impossible to pre- scribe, could it safely spare any part of the revenue derived from the tariff? Who can say where subsidies would end if once entered upon, or what amount would in 6 few years be neces- sary to moet this demand on the tneas- ury? The government could not justly limit its favor to certain shipbuild- ers. To be fair it would have to subsidize all who complied with the conditions, Is it not highly probable that a policy suf- ficlently tiberal to encourage the con- struction of steuwship lines would stim- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE ulate onterprise in this direction to an | extent beyond the legitimate require- ments of trade? It it were practicabls to fix some limit to the number who should b entitled to recoive subsidies this question would be simplified, but this government must deal with all whom its policy should invite to invest their capital in ships with equal fair- ness. It could mot confine its pa- ternal care to & few favored ones who rmight be the first to ask it. Such a policy would be very short lived. Popular sontiment would not tolerate it. The importance of restoring our mor- chant maring is cortainly great, but there are other matters quite us im- portant or more so. The masses of the people want relicf from onerous and unnecessary tanifl taxes, and this they will not got if new demands. are to be fastened upon the public treasury. Ad- vocates of tariff reduction cannot con- sistently champion stoamship ubsidies. IN avrecent article on the Sioux reser- vation the terms on which the land will be sold by the government were erro- neously reported. The law provides that the laud shall be sold to actual set- tlors only, under the provisions of the homestead law. Tn addition to the fees provided by that law, purchasers must pay one dollar and & quarter per acre. 1fany land remains unsold three years after the act has taken effect, it will bo sold at saventy-flve cents per acre, and at fifty cents per acre after five yoars. The rights of honorably discharged union soldiers and sailors ave not abridged, excopt as to the paymentof purchase prices. Pub- lic roadw: four rods wide ave estab- lished on all thesection lines. The set- tlers who entered land on the Crow creek and Winnebago reservations under President Arthur's proclamation inl and who were afterwards moved by the democratic administ tion, are granted ninety days in which to re-enter upon their claims. The con- sent of the Indians having been ob- tained, the only obstacle to the opening of the reservation is the report of the 1ndian commission and the president’s proclamation. It is not likely that the president will issue his proclamation before spring, thus avoiding tho hard- ships which woula follow from a rush to that country in midwinter. THE SUNDAY BEE will contain a highly interesting and gossipy letter from Frank G. Carpenter. Init he commences a series of Washington let- ters about public men of note, society gossip, a concensus of opinion among leaders in politics and society of the na- tional capital. He will interviow from time to time the great men of the day, and his sketches will be brim full of solid information, engaging anccdote, and abounding in fresh and readable fact. Mr. Carpeuter is well known to readers of TH®E BeEg. He has made himself famous as a newspaper corres- pondent. He ranks with the ablest writers in this country at the present time. He has made several tours of Europe and Asia and one tour around the world, Mr. Carpenter has resided in Washington for ten years and is thoroughly familiar with everything pertaining to public affairs. In his first Washington letter Mr. Carpenter presents personal sketches of the candi- dates for the speakership of the house, interspersed with gossip concerning heir lives and public careers, TERRENCE V. POWDERLY’S scheme to combine the farmers and Knights of Labor 1ntoa vast non-political organiza- tion is a grand one in architectural de- sign but impossible to execute. It is easy to plan and proclaim great things —another to put them into effect. No one but a visiopary could hope to keep politics out of such an organization. This was clearly shown in the Knights of Labor. In the heyday of its power it numbered three-quartersof a million men. Today it has about one-seventh of the number. The cause of this fail- ing away was politics. The organiza- tion was manipulated by mercenaries for personal gain, and it went to pieces on the rocks of jealousy and ambition. The interests of the farmcrs and the knights are not such as can be readily cemented, even if it were possible to keep the disturbing factor of politics out of tne councils. It 1s safer for both to operate separately, and thug reduce the chances of dissension and disaster. GOVERNOR HILL declined to appoint delegates from New York tothe St. Louis silver convention on the ground that ‘‘the subject is not of such interest to the people of the state as to warrant action on my part.” The apimus of Hill’s contemptible reply was doubtless inspired by the gold bugs of New York. That Hili should voice their sentiments and refuse representation to the Empire state in a body demanding justice to a great national interest stamps nim as a small-souled official, incapable of logking beyond the confines of his own state. His indifference to the great in- dustry of the west will be heartily re- ciprocated should occasion arise, E—— It might have been worse The majority in favor of the bonds was only 6,254, The total, however, was only 7,582—W.-H.

This would be very startling if it were true. But will our visionary contemporary please inform us what Cushing has uttered since his nomination excepting silver dollars over the saloon bars. MR. CUSHING is making a very high bid for the saloon and high-five vote, while his double-barreled organist is trying very hard to get temperate and roligious ropublicans to bolt Lininger on the strength of Cushing’s pledge to keep the saloons hermetically sealed on Sunday.

OTHER LANDS THAN OUR The assurance recently given by King Humbvert of Italy, that European peace will not be disturbed, does not v very great weight. The fact is that thé king of Italy is not a very lafge or influential figure in Ku- ropean politics, A clever sortof man with no great genius for government, Humbert is not a dominant force outside of his own king- dom, and it is vory likoly that he has as lit- tle knowledge of what the groat bowers in- tond as the least among European rulers Indeed tho timo has not como when Italy may be ranked as a great Kuropean power. Tho question of war or peace does not lio with that kingdom. Germany, France, Eng- land and Russia are the great war powers of the European continent. It is for them to say when there shall be an explosion of gun- powder, and even they are powerless in the presence of the march of events which scems 10 decree a great war in every goneration. About so ofton, maniind, totally regardless of their own interests, will fall to slitting one another's throats. Speaking on his own authority, the views of the king of Italy re- garding what may happen in Europe are of little value, but'it may bo, under the circum- stances m which ‘he spoke, that he had au- thority from a source worthy of respect. The European situation 18 certainly not at pres. ont threatening, abd the conditions all ap- pear to be favorable to a continuance of peace. e There are sigi of an attempt at an effect— ive coalition among the more rational of the followers of tbe Orleanist family in France and tho conservative republicans. Ap- proaches from ons side and the other have been indicated in the press, and there are re- ports of serious ' negotiations between the leaders. The difficulties surrounding such an arrangement are very great,becausc prac- tically the Orleanists can hardly go far in this direction without surrendering their disvinctive pohitical character, It is hardly within the range of possibility that “Philip VIL"—as they still fondly call their leader— can ever become the king of France, no mat- ter how liberal may be the principles that he vrofesses. The greater the concessions his party may make, the more impracticable the cstablishmeut of any throne becomes, The whole spirit of the Orleanists, so far as the princes are concerned, is alien to democracy, and it1s reasonably clear that democracy must not only prevail but advauce in France. In the recent canvass preceding the election of the present chamber, the intrigues of the Countof Paris with Boulanger burt his cause very much, for they tended to show that while he no sympathy with real demo- cracy he was ready to ally humself with an adventurer and would-be dictator under the guise of a democrat. The only real hope of such a coalition as we have referred to lies in the chance that a respeotable number of orleanists may be ready to give up the idea of a monarchy and definitely accept that. of a conservative republic. . Little Costa Rica, in area next to the smallest of the Central American states, and in population the smallest, has for many months been eagaged in & most excited pres- idential cavvass, which lately culminated in arevolution in San Jose, the capital. The candidates were Esquivel and Rodriguoz. The former was president of the Costa Rica congress, and when General Bernardo Soto, the president of tho republic, withdgew, some time ago, from the active administration of his ofice, Bsquivel became acting president in his stead. Last August the charge that he was using his place to forward his eloc- tion induced him to call back President Soto, who accordingly resumed office. Afairs then went’ on more quietly; but soon the Rodriguez party complainea also of the atti~ tude of President Soto, and at length, by a sudden armed uprisiug, early in the present month, they compelled his withdrawal ana put in his stead Dr. Durav, a wealthy physi- ¢ian who had served under him a short time as minister of public works, duriog the au- tuma, and had then resigned, This was a practical demonstration of Rodriguez's power in San Jose. Since, outside of the capital, in the country districts, Rodriguez was known to be theastronger, the report imme- diately following; that he had triumphed 1n the general elections, became entirely cred- ible.

The South African empica Is not a dream, but is fast taking shape in the minds of intel. Ligent men in England. Circumstancos every day point out its perfect feasibility. England already has nearly all of the mors desirable portion of Africa, She occupics the entiro . rogion at the south ohd of the continent, ex- cepting the two small Dutch republics—the Orange River Freo state and the Transvaal republic—and it is thought that she will ab. sorb these within a fow years. She is about to come to a rupture with Portugal concern. ing territorial possessions in southern Af- rica, and is only watching for a pretext to seize all Portugal's acquisitions thore. But few obstacles provent the possession by Eng- land of the entiro torritory from the Caps of Good Hope up to and including the great lakos, She is able to securs it all without having to fight any other Buropean powaer. Germany can be conciliated by giving her ritory further north, excnt where has taken hold. In addition to what she now hus, Tripoli can be concoded to Italy, and Iranco will be satisfied with the unconditional annexation of Tunis and the power to seize Morocco without interfercnce from any of the great powers, thus giving her ample territory for North African colo- nies. e The Russians are still scheming to get con- trol of tho government of Servia throngh the agency of Prince Poter Karageorgoviteh, and, though a plot to seat the latter on the throne 18 said to have been frustrated by tho arrost of soma of the conspirators, its ultimate suc- cess seems to be assured, i— W BRIDGE. THE Terms Upon Which Douglas County is Arked to Vote $250,000 in Bonds. The proposition to bond the county for §200,000 in aid of the Nebraska Central rail- way company will be voted on at the regular city election Tuesday, December 3. The proposition made by the officers of the company to the county commissioners, upon which this question is to ba submittted to a vote of the people of the county, is as fol- lows: The Nevraska Central railway company proposes to build a double track steel railway bridge across the Misscuri river at some point yet to be sclected above the present bridges, and south of the nortn line of the city of Omaha—provided the county of Doug- las will donate to the company two hundred and fifty thousand (§250,000) dollars of 5 per cent twenty-year bonds of the county, to bo delivered to the company on the completion of the bridge ready for operation on or ,before June 22, 1892 ‘““The bridge 18 proposed to be built under an act of congress entitled ‘An act to authorize the construction of a bridge over the Missouri river at or near the city of Omaha, Neb.,’ approved June 22, 1588. And the act provides that the bridge shall be open to all railroad companias desiring touse the same, upou equal terms. *'In case the construction of the bridge is not begun before June 15, 1890, or the bridge 18 not comploted before June 22, 1802, tho company shall not be entitled to receive auy of said bonds, even though tho proposition should be carried by vote of the electors. ““Aud, providep furwner, that said bunds shall be delivered to the said Nebraska Cen- tral railway company, its agents, successors or assigns, only upon the execution by said Nebraska Central railway company or its successors, and delivery to said county of Donglas of an under- taking fn writing to the effect thav the princi- pal depot of said railway company, its gen- oral offices and principal machine shops, when built, shall be located and maintained within the corporate Limits of the city of Omaba, Neb, and that a violation of the term of said undertaking by the said Ne- braska Central railway company or 1ts suc- cessors snall render said Nebraska Central railway company or its successors indebted to the said county of Douglas to the full amount of said bonds and the interest thereon. “By order of the board of directors of the Nebraska Central railway company. ‘1.

The company proposes to bmild a bridge that will cosu at least §1,000,000, and to ex- pend three times that amount in depot and terminal facilities. It proposes to erect a depot that will ac- commodate all of the Iowa roads that wish to enter Omaha, aua to furnish them an out- let into the state by meaus of the Belt line. ‘The bonds, if voted, will be void if work on the bridge is not commenced before the 15th day of June, 1890, or if the bridge is not. completed by June 22, 1892, e o Distillation of Absinthe. The distillation of absinthe is becom- ing an important industry in ¥rance, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. The upper leaves and twigs of the wormwood plant are macerated with hysop, calamus, cit- roneile, anise, funnel,badiane and other vegetahle substances, and the decoction thus obtained, after having been_ dis- tilled, is treated with alcohol, sweet- ened and colored. Absinthe is a power- ful but destructive merve stimulant, which may be valuable in cases of ex- haustion or extreme fatigue, but like chloral and opium, it is Lable to abuses, which, in the aggregate, far outweigh all the benefits which are de- rived from its legitimate use, Other profitable industries peculiar to south- ern France are the distillation of es- sential oils from wild aromatic plants, the manufacture of perfumes from culti- vated flowers, and the preparation of preserved fruits by the process of crys- tulization. Each has been built upin its separate locality, and become prac- tically a monopoly. The same may be said of the mannfacture of the cele- brated liquors, benedictine and char- treuse. A fabulous sum was recently offered to the monks of La Grande Chartreuse, not for the secret of the manufacture, but for the right to use the original labels and. bottles which are the guaranty of the genuineness and purity of the liquor. An Honorable Merchant. Several years ago a Boston merchant failed in business, owing many thou- sands more than he could hope to pay, with no assets but health, strength and strict integrity, says the Boston Budget. Among his creaitors was a brother mer- chant to whom he owed $11,000, which in course of time was charged to profit and loss and probably forgotten. Some years afterward the creditor died, ana all evidence of the debt died with him, his children having no knowledge of it. But fickle fortune unexpectedly smiled upon the bankrupt, and his efforts to recover himself and regain his lost wealth were crowned with success. He remembered his debt, and, outlawed though it was, determined to pay it. He sought out his creditor’s children, and, relating the circumstances, in- sisted upon their receiving the amount of the debt, with compound interest, paying them upward of $40,000. exact- ing but one condition, that the fact should never be mentioned publicly, and it is now made known for the first time, after he has been long in his grave. It is fair to presume that other obligations were met in like manner. Colonel Henr{ L. Higginson, of the firm of Lee, Higginson & Co., is the son of this man, who paid to the children the debt he owed their father, ——————— Discovered a Dynamite Plot.

HE LOVED THE PATHS OF SIN. Governor Thayer and the Penitentiary Officials Elated Over the Fugi tve's Recapture—A Bold Burgiary—Lincoln Notes. 1020 P Srieer, LixooLy, Neb., Nov. 20, Harry Hall, the robbor and murderer of any alinses who escaped from the stato pen ) yoars ago and who was rocap at Provo, Utah, ns noted by Tie Hee this morning, will doubtless again don the stripes tonight or tomorrow.

The murder and robbery for which ho was convicted and sentenced to the state peniten- viary for life, was not his tirst crime, as has been so repeatedly stated. A fow years ago ho was arrested in Andrew county, Missouri, on the charge of murder, and although his guilt was clearly proven he escaped on the plea of insamity and after spending a season in an insane asylum he was pronounced cured and regained his liberty. Stortly after this he came to Ne- braska and in 1883 committed tne crime for which he was serying sentence prior to his escape. Harry Hall was a bright youne fellow. During boyhood days his eaucational advan- tages were especially fine and he is thore- fore well educated, He is a maater of telog- raphy, stenography and book-keoping, and an expert penman, It is said that he is fitted to fill any business position 1n the catalogue. He is affable aid bland and liable to deceive the most careful reador of human nature. He was reared in luxury and to this it is said he attributes his downfall, His father, Dr. Hall, who lives in St. Joe, Mo, is a man of great wealth and influence. 1t is reliably learned that Harry was the pet and idol of his mother, and that her influences iy n ters relating to her husband’s discipline of his boy provoked a_rupturo that ultimately led to their separation. chapter in Hall's Hall lives with her paren while the doctor continues to practice his profession at St. Joe. Harry’s proficiency as a bookkeoper at- tracted Warden Nobe's attention soon after he was committed to the pen, and he was placed at the head of the clerical work there, In tume he be- came the warden's private secretar, When Hyers took charge of the pen Hal was retained 1n a like capacity. He was the ‘‘trusty’ of the institution, and was a prime favorite with every attachee. During these years fraquent efforts were made to secure his pardon. January 4, the day before his escape, Dr. Hall, ex-Congress- man Craig and Bishop Worthington of St. Joe visited the governer and made a special plea in his behalf, but failed to secure his pardon, The governor thought the crime for which he was convicted and sentenced too atrocious to warrant intervention on his part, Up w0 this time it was thought that his chances for pardon were good. In the minds of most people acquainted with the surroundings it is now thought that Dr. Hall informed h on that his case was hopeless and that escape was the only way to freedom. ~Be that as it may, the *‘trusty” walked out January 5, 1888, on a trivial excuse, and successfuily baffied every effort to effect his capture until noav. At the time “‘murmurs were loud” certain officials had been to liberate him, His capture, after persistent cffort, however, gives the lie to this theory. In spe ng of this mat- ter this morning Governor Thayer said thav he was highly gratified that Hall had boen recaptured. He also said that he had not lost sight of the fact that he was a fugitive {rom justice since the day he made his broak for liberty; that with Warden Hopkins every feasible effort had been made to effect his recapture; that detectives had been kept on his track and that rewards haa been kept posted to induce the necessary vigilance, In concluding the governor said with emphasis that “‘certain infamous scoundrels naa ac- cusea him of conniving at Hall's escape, but thit the fugitives recapture had disproved this charge.” Since Hall’s escave a reward of $400 has been kept standing for his capture. ‘I'he state offered $200, and C. W. Mosher, president of the Capital National vank $200. He, too, expresses gratification at the capture, that bought A Smooth Burglary. ‘The smoothest job of safe cracking ever known in this city came to light this morn. ing. 'Last night or the night before the dry Roods store of J. & D. Newman, 1027 O street, was successfully entered by burglars. Wednesday evening the store was closed at the regular hour, and as yesterday was Thanksgiving day it was not opened again until this morning, when it was discovered that the safe had been cracked and $300 in cash stolen. Investigation disclosed that tho burglars secured entrance through the back door of the basement and to the first floor of the store room through the side door that leads down into the basement, A hole was drilled through "the door opposite the plate which holds the combination, and then with the aid of a punch and mallet the door was opened easily. Except the cash stated the rest of the concents of the safe were found uctouched.” Ofticer Malvin is on the case, but as yet he has secured no clue that prom- 1ses to lead to the capture of the guilty par- ties.
