THE OMAHA DAILY BEE MARCH 22. 1890, DEATH OF GENERAL CROOK. In the death of Major General George Crool the countey has lost an able so! dier and a patriotic eltizen. The mili- tary history of the United States is pe- culiarly rich fn great names. The list of distinguished heroes—mgn not only of great gallantry, but of splendid ability—is hardly excoeded by that of any other nation. It is a mognificent alaxy of soldiers the republic can bre- sent to challenge comparison with tho greatest of any other land, and among them the name of General Crook must occupy a conspicuous place. We have sketched elewhere the rec- ord of his useful life, which for nearly forty years had been one of con- stant activity, much of the time in the most onerous and exacting fields known to the military scrvice. At the very boginning of his career he was sent to the wost and entered upon that experience as an Indian fighter which has contributed so largely to his fame. It is entirely just to say that no officer among those who have distin- guished themselves in this service showed greater capacity or judgment than General Crook. During the re bellion he made a brillinnt record as an able, judicions and gallant soldier, and his name is inseparably conunected with some of the most notable victories of the union arms. Intelligent, brave and caveful? ho was never found wanting in any emergency and no officer made fewer mistakesduring that period which tried most thoroughly the qualities of the soldier. General Crook was re- gavded by the Indians with mingled awe and revercnce. They appreciated his courage and ability, and many of them believed him invineible. His in- fluence with them was well shown in the negotiation of the treaty for open- ing the Sioux reservation.. General Crook’s military almost wholly passed west, and it is the poople of this section, who knew. him best, who will feel most keenly the sense of loss which the country has sustained in his death, I onally a modest and retiving man, he yet hud a quality of sincere genality with those who knew him well which made of them the warmest of friends, while all with whom he came in contact learned to re- gard him with the heartiest respect as a man, His deash will be widely and decply regretted. vas the career in IMMIGICATION DISCUSSION. There cannot be a reasonable doubt that the intelligent seutiment of the country isopposed toplacing any further trictions upon immigrvation than those which have been properly pro- vided. The outéry that has been made for several years for additional legisia- tion, professedly from a patriotie con- cern for the social, political and ma- terial weliace of the country, has really been prompted for the most part by whoily selfish motiv The great majority of those who would _ erect additional _ barriers to keep out foreigners nave no other thought than to protect themselves from the competition of labor from abroad, caring nothing whatever for any other consideration. There is a class of politicians who uve very willing to pauder to this selfishness, and in order to make the argument for re- stricting immigration as impressive as possible itissougbt tofrighten the coun- try by alieging that under the prevail- ing conditions we are in constant dan- gevof an invasion of anarchists, com- munists and other mischievous persons whose capacity for harm is enor- mously exaggerated. This country ha nothing to fear from the few hundred persons who may annually come here from'Europe, bringing ideas not quite in line with our own, and toenact legis- lation which would keen out tens of thousands of desirable people, who would become good and useful citizens, in order to exctude the very few who come here with objectionable social or political notions,Svould be to commit the very great folly aptly illustrated in the remark of Senator Evarts, that “there is 1o use to amputate o leg be- use there is a corn on the toe.” Less than half a million immigrants came to this counwry last year, and tho probability is thut the number this year will show a further fall ing off. There are more altractive inducements and opportunitvies else- where in newer countries, and will continue to be for some time. No rea- sonable man who will look at the matter without prejudice will say that there i anything to be feured in any direction from the infusion into our population annually of half a million- foreign- ers who are acceptable under existing laws, nor can it bo doubted that there is room for such nn addition of industrious and thrifty people. Con- gress will do the wise thingin confining legisiation relative to this subject to making better provision for the enforce- ment of existing laws, which ure ficient to keop out undesivable persons. suf- 1 letter of the secretary of the in- tevior to the commissioner of the eral land office governing the sale of lunds in the Sio tion is timely. It is a careful constraction of the Sioux act of March 2, 1889, and will aid settlers in the purchase of lands by explaining tho conditions under which title may be acquired, Misconception prevails in the minds of many as to the true import of the act. Confusion is thereforo avoided by making iv clear that the land will be disposed of to actual settlers only under the homestead law and at a. price for the first three yeurs of three déllars and twenty-five cents per ncre. This should be sufficient warning to speculators and boomers who have bo- come possessed of the idea that the land can be had for the taking, to keep out and make way for the man carnestly seoking a home. Oun latter day public sentiment is a terror to picayune rascals, while the defaulting Napoleonscommand admiva- tion if not respect. Small thieves are only fit to be kicked and cuffed and hustled to jail, If the figures of the deficit mount nto the hundreds of thousands, the eriminal mounts the lad- der of infamy, not as & pubhic robber but as *‘an unfortunate victim of specu- lation,” and the crime is classed as a “*deficit,” This lax sondition of public gen- X resery morals is aptly illustrated by the vigor- ous prosecution of the ex-trensurer of Missouri. He was evidently an amaceur in deficit making, as his peculations amounted only to the measly sum of thirty-two thousand dollars, but it fis enough to excite contempt for his thieving ability. The chances are that he will secure n good round term in the penitentiary as o reward for s petty rascality and his idiotic folly in facing the music while Canada fovited him thither. The Missourl defaulter is now thoroughly convinced that it does not pay to be aretail shief. There is no middle ground. Be honest, or act the hog. tot the refuse barrel has agrievance. He complains of compe- tition. Outsiders are cutting into his schedule of prices as ruthlessly as the farmers of Nebraska would cut into corn rates. ‘He threatens to resign. This, too, in the height of the garbage sonson when the ash-pile in the back yard and the rubbish in the alley lift tkeir noxious heads in the spring sun- shine and spread their noisome vapors THE autoers in the bulmy atmosphere. There is no mon in the Dbusiness. As if gain were the only inducement to spur the garbage mspector to his duties, Shall it be said of him that he cares but little how diphtheria, or chills, or fever, or billiousness, or lassitude lurks in dark corners like a thief to kunock down whome he may? Does ‘he care but little whether the general health of the city be good, her breath sweet, her drink pure, her appearanceneat and her skirts cleas The worl man should be proud of his task and the arbage man of his labor.

What is Omaha to o if like Othello the garbage inspector finds his occupation gone TirE Farmers’ alliance of Kansas in- vite the attention of the state dele- gation to their demands for relief, and politely inform them that there are one hundred thousand votes behind the pe- tition. On top of this come Grand Army posts with resolutious denouncing Senator Plumb and expressing ‘‘un- easiness” for the conduct of repre- sentatives. The re-submission movea- ment is gathering force daily, and will be an important factor in the uext cam- paign. All of which goes to show that a political revolution impends in Kan- sas, the consequencesof which can only be averted by a prompt return to the broad principles of the republican varty, and the expulsion of the cranks. Tue citizens of Indianapolis have paid the penalty of erecting cgg-shell buildings by the holocaust of a few days ago which sacrificed a score or mors lives. They have awakened to the danger from shaky s‘ructures and the order has gone forth to condemn every unsafe building in that city. Heve is a lesson well worth the atteation of the proper authorities of Omaha. Despite the rigid rules of the building ordinance, flimsy structures built on in- secure footing, firo and death traps with weak walls have been erected without prot It is high tume that all such infractions be severely punished and that the bui'ding inspector put his veto on the pluns of any building passing theough his hnads which fails to comes up to the city’s vequirement: A NOVEL solution of the question of lLiguor regulation is proposed in coma. A syndicate of prominent men nas made an offer to the city conneil to take the entire business and pay into the treasury o sum equal to that now paid, provided that none but mem- bers of the syndicate receive li- cense. Instead of nearly one hundred saloons, the syndicate proposes to limit the number to twenty places, and that theseshall notbe located near churches, school houses, or in the thickly settled nortions of tho city. A bond is to be given the city guaranteeing strict com- pliance with all regulations, The scheme is u novel one, d contractors who Omaha with moun- twins of debt, are working day and night to tighten their grip on the throat of that community, Their oppo- sition to annexation was intensified by the feur that such a union of municipal interests would drive them from the public trough. They are determined to rule aud ruin and pile up a financial wreck to unload on Omaha when they find n sepavate government uuprofita- ble. Property owners who now object to annesation will secure mighty little sympathy from this community when the sherifi calls for a settlement.

The retirement of Bismarck, now that the letter of the emperor has appeared nccepting his resignation, 18 shown to be permanent. There is nothing in the emperor's letter to indicate the naturo of the disaerecment which induced Bismarck to surrender his oficial power, but the language and the apparent spirit of the letter give the im- pression that tho best of feleing cxists hotween Lhe emperor and tho ex-premicr. These formalities, however, are not to be taken literally, since they are necessary in order to allay popular apprehension, The reasonable inference is that the issue which led the chanceilor to give up his oftice was of such a naturs us to seriously interfere with future friendly relations between the crperor and the statesman.

Sugasta stands for uni- versal suffrage in Spain, and if the cortes finally passes hus bill he may bz cowsidered more of a republican than the republicuns themselves, Bismarck's retircment means much for CGerman, The drama of govern- ment in Burope isindexd interesting these aays. It has been said that Peris holds a amount of Russian bonds than comfortable in case of European difficulties, but for that reason her prominent men may feel themscives bound to do their best to up- hoid the financial credit of the nation which was foremost in the mind of Napoleon when he predicted that” within fifty years Europe ould be cither ropublican or cossack. Had he lived a little luter he might have widened his views to take 1 Asia With a correspond- ing extension of the time. Financial mat- ters upart, there i3 good reason to believe that in the event of such a German moves ment as some foar must result from tho am oition of the younz ecmperor, France would turn to Russia @3 e best power able to help out of the new dilemma, and perhups assist in tho much-longed-for recovery of Alsace and Lorraine as well as prevent the dreaded ex tension of Ge 0 urea to the ocean, which is probably the end auned at by the present military party in Gerwany. How far the larger would be ne ambition may be held in check by the pro- posul of Pepe Leo fs an open questioa, But it may be argued that as a mere mattor of personal feelng his uppeal s tikely tobe disregurded as n consequence of the re tiracy of Bismarek from the political arena. Still 1t may nov be impossiblo that the young emperor will bo equaliy uowilling witia the deposed statesman to take single step that will look like premonition of wnothor trav- cling of the road to Canossa, While the Arav slave trade continues to inflict its atrocities upon Africa, u new method of intensifying her horrors Las been discovered: Tho lutest crimes against tho natives are promoted by white merchants who are penetrating to tho very“conter of the continent in quest of ivory, The recent large exports of ivory from the Coago basin have been heralded ws gratfying proof of the wonderfui growih of legitimate trade in that region, A dispateh to the Congo gov- croment the other day announced that over ‘forty tons of ivery, worth in Europe about 240,000, had beenspurchiased by trading com panies on the upper -Congo within tw months and were thén ou the way down the river. Within ‘{lie past few wonths nearly $1,000,00) ‘worth of Congo ivory has been sold in Antwerp. The ivory 18 purchused trading: steam ors that are pusyed as far inland as Stanley Fulls, A small pagt of the ivory is bought from the natives, but by far the larger part of it comes from the: Arabs of Stanley Falls and the Lomami river, who are straining every nerve tomest the sudden and unex- pected demand whal, to their great delight, has urisen at their very doors. ‘The methods that have been stimulated by tho new enter- prise of white men are described in one of Mr. Stanley’s letters, and also by Mr. Her bert Ward, These gentlemen say that ivory raiding is now a very bloody business. The Arabs lead into the ivory districts bands of 300 to 600 Manyems armed with Enfield rifles. They bura every villago they como across, capture all the women, shoot down the men unless thoy at once get out of reach of buliets, and de- stroy the plantations. Having thus deso- lated o largo area, they settle down with their captives at some place where plautains are abundant aud proceed to open negotia- tions with the people whom they have driven into the woods, They send word to these fugitives that their women will be restored to them for the price of a tusk of ivory aplece. The natives then goon elephant hunts or open their hidden stores, and slowly tho women are redeemed. The Arabs thas secure a rich supply of ivory to seil to their white friends, and floally depart for the river, leaving behind them a region turnod into & waste. The now phase of ivory raiding Is really not a whit botter than slave trading. —_— But Will Thoy? Chicago Tritnme.

We stopped at every house on the whole route interviewing every farmer and homosteader with the excoption of two who were absent. Lour public meetings wero held in those three counties of Kimball, Ban- ner and Scott's Bluff. Word had precsded u- I was coming, and parties had sent ngtices into overy precinct of each couuty inviting the people to come together 8o a8 to obtain an expression as to tho condition of things fn all that region; and the people came in large num- bors. In those meotiugs tho question was put to them, do you know of any case of des titution or where there is any need of help i your respective localities, and all re- sponded in the negative, Neither in those meetings nor on tho way whero we traveled could we find that a single case existed where the people wero suffering or where help was needed. Many replisd to our in- terrogatories: **Wo are hard up but we are not suffering: we have plonty to eut and to wear, and we can get along and ask for no help.” Wo crossed that portion where a hail storm swept through a belt eight miles wide Jast season, destroying the crops; and also over a portion where hot winds had proved very injurious, but nowhere dwl any one need any aid. The county cler® at Gering reported to us that but ons apphication for aid ha¢ been made te the counly commissioners during the whole winter, and the aid was promptiy rendered. One of the county commission- ers of Banner county stated that no request for assistance had been mado to the board from any person in tuat county, and that oniy one person was supported by the conn- ty. Oneof the commissioners of Kimball county informed us that only one application foraid had been made to the board during the whole seuson, and the assistanco was promptly rendered The settlers everywhere in those ghree counties sud, if thére were nny cas®s of distress, though they knew of none, their county was ubundantly able to take care of them, and tuey desired no outside help, ‘Chere was a spirit of independence nmong the settlors of allthose counties that is highly commendablo. 1 never saw a more contented beopie, none more brave iearted than the homesteaders and farmers who dwell in those counties. Tney like their lo- cations and could not bo induced to leave them. ‘The samo may bo said of Cheyonne county. At Botter, in that county, it was stated that some three familics had' needed some clothing and shoes, but they had never made avy application to-tke suthorities and the latter knew nothing of their condition, but that they had been ready at all times to renderassistance, Wo waro informed that oniy threo requests had been made for help and that it haa beon given, Thus wo found thero had isolated cases (and a very fo be found in all communitics in any state. After a thorough personal investigution of this whole matter and a rido of 110 miles by carviage through thav section we are enabled t) zive a most unqualitied contrad:ction to all statements which have boen made to tho effect that there, is, or has been, any desti- tution or suffering in any of those counties that nceded any help from the outside, “They are abundantly able to take cure of their own people and their own affairs, The people all through these counties are indig- nant that such unjust statements have boen sent abroad, We are glad to be able tho counties named iu_this communication constitute a most valuablo portion of tho state of Neoraskn, and cro long they will vie with the older counties in progross and prosverity. Mr. Greer concurs with me in this statement. Jonx M. Tuaxei CENSUS MATTERS OF INTEREST, Hon. T, M.

New York, March 21.—[Spectal Telogram to Tie Bee.]—There are always many intor- esting episodes occurring in the business of lifo and fire wsurance companies of this city, * but lately there has béen none which suv~ ored so much of originality as the scheme of the pastor of & itoman Catholic church up- town topay off the mortgage heid by a lifo™ insurance company against the buiidin The church in question is Monica’s Roman Catholic church, and Rev. J. Dougherty is its pastor. In order to ex- tend the parish work and to add to the churceh building, the pastor sought to obtain a loan of $125,000 from a Life insurance com- pany. After the loan had been fully con- siderea by tho officers of the com pany, it was decided that $120,000 should bo lent to St. Monica's provided £20,000 of 1t was sccured by policics upon the lives of the pastor and some ol the members of the parish, To a clergyman of Dougher- 3 activity the proposition naturally pre sented itself, Why should he not cloar off the entire mortgago in the same manner! So he buckled down and became a veritablo in- surance agent. His energy wasa so great that between July and November of 1580 ho succeeded i having msurances written for fully §120,000, cloven persons entering into tho schme. The proposition was that at tho death of any of the persons holding a policy the company should credit the church with the amount of the face, so reducivg tho total amount of the loan that by the time the last of tho cleven policy holders died the church indebtedness should be entirely wiped out. The scheme is not alone working aduirably au St. Monica’s, but the higher dignitarics of the church are said to look with considerable favor upon the idea of Dougherty’s. e ttiendd Hal HAS PROBABLY SOLD OU1L* York Sala to Bave Purchascd Indianapotis’ Ball Club.
