In carrying out a laudable purpose the school hoard of Columbus, Tnd,, placed a white teacher dn charge of acolored class, whereat the parents rebelled and refused to permit their youngsters to imbibe knowledge from “‘poor white trash.” Separate schools and colored teachers were de- manded, which the school board promptly refused.

The reports of the officials, supplemented with the cen- sus, furnish more reliuble information than any committee can secure. Obser- vations from car windows and the knowledge imbibed at banquets cannot outweigh the facts scquived by long resi- dence among the people, Experience shows that congressional junkets are practically useless in determining legis- lation, and arean inexcusable waste of public money, ~ OPENING OF THE CAMPAT The republican campaign in Nebraska will be formally oponed today, and there- after until the day of election in Novem- ber will be carried on with earnestness and vigor, The time isample in which to perform the work that will insure the vietory of the republican party by an old-time majority. There has been noth- ing lost by not entering upon the cam- paign at an earlier date. On the con- trary, there has been a positive gain from the opportunity given the elements antagonizing the republican party to be heard. The intelligent voters of Ne- braska who have supported republican- ism in the past will need less argument to convince them of their duty to rems faithful to the principles and policy the republican party now that they un- derstand the attitude of its opponents. Alrendy it has been made eclear at there is nothing to be hoped for that will advance the pros perity of the people and the welfure of the state from those who, formerly acting with the republ party, ave now making war on it, and it is needless to say that democratic suc- cess would be to every measure of reform and relief desired and demanded by the people, The history of Nebraska under unin- terrupted republican rule is a history of almost unequalled progress. In but little more than two decades the population of the state has grown from less than a quarter of a million to a million and a quarter, and the increase of wealth has been even more rapid. In all the condi tions of intellectual and soecial improve- ment there has been a steady and rapid advance, o that in no other state of the union ave the people, as a whole, more prosperous, contented and happy than the people of Nebraska, Grant that the republican party has made mistakes and been guilty of shortcomings, still an administration of affairs during nearly quarter of a tury under which such notable progress in all directions has been achieved must have been in every essential respect wise and right, and it constitutes a record upon which the party can fairly and un- reservedly ask the continuance of the confidence and support of the people. The republican party is pledged to pre- serve all that has proved to be wise and just in its past administration of affairs and to adopt such new policies as exist- ing conditions demand or experience hus shown to be ne v to subscrve interests of the people. It favorsthe en- actment of more stringent usury laws and their enforcement under severe pen- alties. It demands the reduction of freight and passenger vates on vailroads to correspond with rates now prevailing in the adjs s to the Mississippi, and the abol WL passes and fres transpor vilronds excepting for employesof thecompanics. It holds that owners of public elevators for the storage of grain should be declared public ware- lousemen and compelled to handle the grain of all persons alike, the state reg- lating charges for storage and inspec- tion; and also that railroad companies be required to handle the grain of all persons without discrimination. It fa- vors compelling railroads and manufac: turers to use appliances for the protec- tionof laborers against accidents, and demands legislation defining the liabil- ity of employers for injuries sust by employes in cases where prop: guards have not been used in occupations dangerous to life, limb or health. It bolds that railroad ana other public cor- porations should be subject to contvol through the legislative power that cre- ated them, and would prohibit by strin- gentlaws the illegitimate increase of stock or capital. It demnnds that the property of corporations shall be taxed the same as that of individuals. It fa- vors a revision of the election laws of the state so as to guarantee to every voter the greatest possible secresyin the casting of his ballot and secure the punishment of any who may attempt the corruption or intimidation of voters, Such are the important peinciples which the republican party of Nebraska is pledged to carry out if it is continued in power. They are rational, practica- ble and cme.ntiul, demanded in the inter- est of good government and the general welfure, and defensible as just to all. No other party has promised the people so much, and no other can be depended on todo so much. Why, then, should not the republican party of Nebrasks, with the splendid history of the state attesting the wisdom of its past admin- istration of affuirs, still cowmmand the confidence and support of the people? There is no good reason, but on the con- teary every consideration affceting thoe future welfare of Nebraska demands re- publican success, There is still much to be done for advancing the prosperity of this great state and promoting the interests of its people that can be safely entrusted only to the republican party, THE TREASURY POLICY. There was some discussion in the sen- ate on Thursday of the recent polic the treasury department which is likely to attract gencral attention at least in financial circles. Senator Plumb intro- duced a resolution calling upon the sec- retary of the treasury for information regarding theeffect of paying checks for silver bullion over the counter of the sub-treasury instead of through the proper clearing house, as to whether it does not result in paying out notes of larger denomination instead of those suited for cireulation and use in ordi- nary business transactions, and whether such method of payment does not result in the payment of gold instead of treasury notes, . In speaking to his resolution, which was prompted by the suggestion of a New York banker that thereis danger in the bank withdrawals of treasury gold, Senator Plumb said there had been recent conspicious illustration of the impolicy of allowing the treasury department to obstruct or accelerate the business af the country., He criticised the course of the secretary in holding money in the treasury until a panic was impending and then giving it out to holders of government hords under such cireumstances s to enable them to con- trol the money supply of the country during their pleasure. He thought it safe 0 say that the money paid out by the treasury in redemption of bonds would be used by those receiving it for their own benefit and not in the interest | of the people, and he exprossed the | opinion that nothing but an overwhelm- | ing calamity would ever divorce the treasury from such malicious interfer- ence with the business of the country. | Secretary Sherman defended the courseof the treasury department as being in strict execution of tho law, so far as related to the payment for silver bullion in treasury notes of large denominations, hat was unavoid- able owing to the fact that there has not been time since the new silver law went into effect to prepare a suffl- clent samount of treasury notes of small denominations, But Senator Sherman doubted the policy of paying a year's in- terest on bonds in advance. He did not think there wasany danger of a serious financial disturbance, the scare being the work of speculators, but he was of the opinion that the secretary of the treasury should be permitted to use his diseretion, It is doubtless unquestionable that the late policy of the treasury department has been strictly within the law, but it has called attention more forcibly than cver before to the intimate relations ex- isting between the tre money market and the cace which the former may exert upe the business of the count nd there has been a good deal of expressionas to the expediency or necossity of di- vorcing them. It is easy to seo how under present conditions a secre- tary of the treasury could unsettle the business of the country almost at will, but it is not so simple a matter to dis. cover how he may bo deprived of thi great and dangerous power. As our monet ral systems now are it is inevitable that more or lessdiscretion must be allowed to the atary of the 'y, but so0 long as this is the case however wise, able and honest the man at thehead of the treasury department there will be cause for apprehension in the always imminent dunger of action injurious to financial and business inter- ests. In the present instance the seere- tary has not exceeded the law, but it is yet tobe determined whether he has wisely used his discrotion. | The trag wth of two Cheyenne In- dians illust s the wholesome regard for Uncle Sam’s power that has been in- jected into the most savage of Sioux tribes, The Indians foully murdered a white man and theiwr surrender was de- manded by the authorities. To escape the consequences of their crime was im- possible. Thisthe murderers well knew and sought to purchase immunity with posiies, Failing in this, their interpre- ter challenged the soldiers and Indian police to battle. Fifty armed men awaited the onset. The two mounted murderers twice charged the lines and retreated unhurt, The third time they rode on to death and came so close to the soldiers that the line wavered before they fell riddled with bullet A mor reckless exhibition of dave deviltry was never witnessed at an agenc A few years ago these bloodthirsty bucks would have defied the authorities successfully. But the avenues of escape are now closed, and the murderers chose deliber- ate suicide in open battle in preference to the ignominy of the gallows. Tho means was admirable, brave and effect- ive. Tk flood of money poured out of the sub-trensury stilled the troubled waters of speculation in New York. The Wall street gamblers who imngined they had effected acorner on money were sadly disappointed. The promptitude of the government in anticipating legitimate demands proved a costly lesson to the schemers. LIF| insurance companies complain of excessive mortality and consequently sorious reduction in their profits. This melancholy condition serves the good purpose of convincing the uninsured of the uncertainties of life and the wisdom of providing muniticently for his heirs and assigns.

The restoration of order in Ticino and the apparent submission of the insurgents to the Foderal authorities must not be regarded as denoting any wealnesson the part of the leaders of the vecent revolutionary move- movement. TFor they possess in the fullest degree the sympathy of the central govern- ment at Berne, and the majority of the na- tional legislature. Both of these bodies are composed of menibers of the radical party, and have long viewed with displeasure the high-handed manner in which the conserva- tive and ultramontane clement, compo®d al. most entirvely of wealthy landed proprietors and priests, have ruled Ticino, retaining their hold on all cantonal oftices by electoral frauds. The revolution appears to have been nothiug more than a comedy, organ- ized jointly by the radicalsof Ticinoand bythose av Berne, for tho purpose of af- fording to the federal authorities an excuse for intervention in the affairs of the Canton, That such was the case is clearly shown by the fact that the national exccutive has di- vocted that the demand for a rovision of the cino cantonal constitution, wnich has been put forward by the radicals, and which is destined to terminate the canservative tenure of office, is to be submitted toa popular vote, under the supervision of the federal author . The imprisonment by the revolutionists the beginning of the insurrection of the le issioner Borel, who haa always been their best friend and supporter, and an almost open antagorist of the comservative officeholders, must, under the circumstances, be regarded in thelight of a clever piece of side play, destined to conceal the true nuture of this tea-cup revplution, *x Ticino is the southermost canton of Switzerland and is largely Italian and Roman Catholic, with a strong element of ex treme radicals of the school of Garabaldi and Maz- zini and a contingent of Swiss Protestants from the other cantons. Ticiuo has a radical majority, but back in 187 this majority di- vided against itsclf and the comservatives came into power and have held the govern- ment of the canton ever since. The conser- vative party is led by the priesthood, which s of the most reactionary typo and extreme in its opposition to the republican ideas of the federal governiient. This minority only holds the government by arbitrary means ; controlling the eledtion machinery and count- ingits own men inio oftico regardless of the popular will. As aconsequenco the feeling between tho two parties has long becn ex- ceedingly bitter and yiots and outbreaks at the elections have been common for several years. W hen we consider that Bulgaria has been for some years, and is now, the storm center of Europe, itis strange that there should bo so little information about- it carrent in Eng- land and in this country. The British vice consul at Sofia has undertaken to make good the deficiency of knowledge by areport which has been published by the foreign office. The arca of Bulgaria, including eastern Roume- lia, but not excluding tue Kivjal districtand the villages in the Rhodope chain which were coded to Turkey in 1596, is38,800 square miles, or somewhat less than that of the state of Pennsylvania. Of this area about a quarter is cultivated, aud four-fifths of the tilled land is allotted to grain. The poopula- tion is 3, ), of which 2,325,224, or about 75 per cent, are Bulgarians; 607,372, or 20 per cent are Mobammedans: 53,3%, or about 2 per centare Greeks, and the remaining 3 per cent are Scrvians, Roumanians, Gypsi Russians, ete.

The Bulgavian budget for 1800 gives an estimated revenue of §14,500,000 and an_ expenditure of But although every budget since has possessed a separate adminis- tration has shown at the beginning of a year a deficit, it has always in the end exhibited a balance or a surplus, owing to the habit, at- tributable to Turkish traditions, of under- stating income, Of the four small states of southeastern Europe—Roumania, Bulgavia, Greece ana Servia--Bulgaria the least taxed and has the smallest debt, The disclosures concerning the secret his- tory of Boulangism in France, recently made in Parisian newspapors, and still making for that matter, are seen to be beneficial to the republicsimply because they are. terribly damaging to the pretensions of the French rogalism. Boulangism 1350 dead at this late day that no one cares to breathe the foul air of the scpulchre, much less to disinter the corpse for the purpose.of holding an autopsy, simply as a matter of form. It is to destroy the count of Paris and. the pretensions of his son, theduke of Orleans, that Mermiex made his now famous expse, because of which he has alveady been 'cillenged to seven duels and has fought ong,; Undoubtedly, in the mass of aceusations thrown about, much has been said in detail that is untrue, yetthe passing days show thit the story was correct s general features. The interview witlhi the Duchess d'Uzes, morcover, confirmsthis. Blowitz, the Paris correspondent of YosLondon Times, aptly characterizes this hdoman when ho writes: ““She appears in nd ayprso light than that of an extravagante who wished to pose as a nineteenth century Joan of Are, brandishing in one hand a sworliforged at the mint, and flourishing with thbbher & banner made of bank notes.’” She it was who furnished “le brav’ gen- eral” the ammunition of war—money. To Boulanger ana his cause, which wus to ovec- thiow the republic, she gave just 3,000,000 francs. At the same time the count of Paris, though one of the richest men in Europe, never gave a sou to the cause, notwithstand- ing thathe was deeply interested in it, held a long foterview with Boulanger a month be- fore the September elections, and promised the assistance of his friends, aud money to subsidizea candidate approved by the gen- eral.

Dr. Catlos Pellegrini, tho vice president under Celman, be- comes president under the coastitution to serve for the unespired term, which ends in October, 1802, While minister of war, ten years ago, he performed distine guished service for the ropublic in crushing o formidable revolution. He isreputed to be & man of iron will, perfect solf-poise, unques- tioned integrity and patriotism, anda man governed by quick intelligence and character ized by Anglo-Saxon phlegm. He reali the magnitude of the work involved in recon- structing the tangled and desperate affairs of the republic, but euters upon the work with & measure of public confidence sustaining him that amounts to a positive enthusissm. A de: based and debauched currency is to bo reor- ganized; an abused publie credit is to be restored; the public expenses are to be pruned, and the unjustified use of the public funds is to be abated. These and ascore more of veforms open before him along, hard wad to travel, but his fellow citizens declare their unshaken confidence in himas the man of all men in the republic to undertake the work. Weread that as he weont to the capital August 8, toassume the duties of the presidency, “the enthusiasm was indeseribable, Grave men went half mad with joy, and the president was literally mobbed by his frionds. The government house was invaded by the public, whoss de- lighted shouts made strango musie in that place so far from the popular heart for some time. The streets blossomed with bunting; the people were in the ascendant for oncs at once at least and had matters their own way. Few men ever havesuchan opportunity as falls to President Pellegrini and the best of itis that we have fuith that he will prove equal toit.” w" The British taxpayer is to swallow his usual dose this year as the result of the annual naval maneuavre, InGermany when an addition to the military budget is wanted, @ war scare about France or Russia serves the purpose very well, and after the appro- priation is voted the aark clouds that have been summoned up ave allowed to roll away, In England asimilac part is played by the naval evolutions. One year a British squad- ron simulating an enemy succeeded in ra sections of the coast of the Buitish Isles, and more coast defenses are called for. Another year the transal- lantic steamers and other vessels of the merchant marine are hypotheticolly capt- ured by this same redoubtable enemy. Dur- ing the present summer the British squadron of defeuse hunted the seas for its wily foe, but could notfind him, whereupon a despond- ent service journal declares that “the lessons of the naval fiasco of 1800 mean more ships, more guns, move men,” with reinforcements of all the squadrons on foreign stations, and a third reserve fleet, whereas “at present there aro only suflicient modern ships for two’ ButJohn Bull must reflect that the more ships and men he provides the larger will be the contingent. assigned in the sum- mer maneuvers to that imaginary enemy whose exploits continually put him to iresh outlays. The new military law of France has consid- erably increased her fighting material. Ac- cording to the figures of the war minister re- cently published, the French army on a war footing numbers at present 4,500,000 trained soldiers. TheGerman army is now numer- ically inforior to that of France: and tho French say that, although the German popu- lation is cousiderably greater than that of France, the male population of the two coun- tries is about the same. In other words, the emigration from Germauy has leftan excess of female population at home,and has drained Off an immense number of fighting men, This state of affairs is probably the real causo of the pacific protestations of the young em- peror and of the cessation of war cries in the rman press.

Important Action Regarding Assess- ment by Board of Equalization, TFourteen members of the city council sat as o board of equalization for an hour and a half yesterday morning in the city clerk’s office, Nearly all the time was spent in inconse- quential talk. The most important action was the adoption of amotion made by Mr. Osthoff to the effect that in the future property owners would be compelled to pay the full cost of sewers in front of their property. Tn the past property owners have alwiys paid not to exceed 81 por lineal foot on thecostof sewers, notwith- standing that the costmay have exceeded that price, The only councilman to vote against the motion was Mr. Lowry, who did so on the ground that it would do great injustice to some poor people who could not afford to pay for a sewer.

The Brennan-Whalen Case—Among the Patrons of the Divorce Mill- Holmes Wants Iis Money. ~Other Lincoln News Liscowy, Nob,, Sept. 19.—[Spocial to T Bik.|-Henry Mohr, tho German who at- temptod to murder his wifo August 26, and succoeded in inflicting @ most dangerous wound, is on trial today inthe district court on the charge of shooting with intent to kill. Tho testimony adduced showed that he fired ather threo times, but only one ball struck hor, this ono lodging in the polvis, Mrs. Mohr was the principal witness agalost her husband, but a very unwilling one. She tes- tifled that whon their two sons, who work in the packing house, returned home and turmed their wages overto their father and he put the moneyin his pocketbook, she in sport grabbed the pockotbook and lwghingly re- fused to return it. When Mohr attempted to get it she threw it to the dressmaker, in the wom, and the drunken husband then got angry and fired ot her. In tho midst of the testimony sho created a sensation by suddenly “Your honor, T don't wish to proscente my husband —it was liguor that done the deed ! Mohr's attorney tried cunningly to take advantage of this, and mado a motion that the would-be wife murderer be discharged and the case dropped, But the court would not hear to this, DIVORCES MAKE FOUR HEARTS TLAPPY, Mr, E. H. Woolley, to whom was referred the investigation of the charges made by Mrs, Susan Woods in her application for a divorce from her husband, Frederick Woods, re- ported today that the lady was fairly entitled toa divorce and the restoration of her maiden name, Susan Deets. The report shows that ‘Woods had failed to support her and made her lifo mis constantly charging her with infidels Finally, last_sJanuary, when she had returned from a call on her mother, ‘Woods accused her of having been criminally intimate with one Darby McMainima, and after cursing her, first ordered and then threw her out of the house.

The piercing screams of the young ladies, which the villians could not muftle, attracted the at- teution of a young man in_the building, and perring over the transom he saw the state of affairs. Afraid to cope with the villians single hauded, he rushed off to the police station and notified the police, The quartette of lecherous villians wero arrested and lodged in jail. - When the time of trial came the girls failed to put in an_appearance and the four gamblers wero released. An inves- tigation of the matter proved that the girls did not appear because they had received threatening letters from the fellows who at- tempted to debauch theim. PAID FOI 111% EXPERTENCE, The case of A. Whalen vs . J. and T. F, Breunau, which has been the rounds of the courts in Douglas county, was today appealed to the supreme court.

He had put several thousand doilars in the Bank of Commerce for a fund and claimed that on a number of occasions the Brennans drew out amounts aggregating upwards of $10,000 and appropriated the same to their own use, Atone time it is plleged that I3, J. Brennan drew out #3500 and loaned it to W. J. Mount, taking anote payable only to himself, and then concealed the fuct that he had taken such note.
