SENATOR CULLOM is accused of at- tempting to float a little prosidential boom. It is justice to the originator of the intorstate commeorce hill to say that he is a man of too much sense to allow any such flea to trouble his car to any considerable degree. — T 18 pleasing to learn that the gov- ernment has taken some stops toward fortifying New York harbor. Plum Tsland is being appraised for condem- natlon as a site for a mortar hattery, Our war preparations are, however, not in any anticipation of war. ACTOR JOHN L. SULLIVAN must feel a8 though his chances for election to congress have been tamperod with. He has been ruled out of the order of tho Elks. . The motion to expel him was not carried out of “respect” for him, but his application for membership was sum- marily pigeon-holed. This is one of the few times J. L. has been kuocked out. THE frionds of Dr. W, G. Galbraith of this city will be Lighly gratified at the signal recognition of his abilities shown by the new management of the Union Pacific in promoting him to the position of general surgeon of that company. The doctor has served as assistant surgeon for many years, and his promotion is therefore a reward of mecit, of which he may justly feol proud. — PuBLic executions aro horribly de- moralizing and should bo abandoned. They nre not countenanced in many states of the union. The sivkening sight presented to a morbid crowd at Broken Bow yestorday when Hauenstine ex- plated his crimo on the gallows is an unanswerablo argument in favor of pri- vate executions, if such argument was needea to convince legislators in this ate of the necessity for such u law as shall mako such public horrors impossi- ble. MANUEL GARCIA, “general of the oc- oldental department of Cuba,” sends out an incendiary civeular demanding that the people of the United Statos nssist Cuba in an insurcection favoring national union with us. The people of the United States favor the idea of Cuba boing a part of the United States, but eannot see how this end can be accomplisned ex- cept in ono way—purchase. Spain does not appear to be willing and there the matter stands, . —— Ir 18 time that the state of Nebraska foteoduces the New York method of electrocution which seems sure, swift and free from thoso torribly horrifying accidents that attend the barbarous method of breaking the neck or strang- ling the victim. Execution is a most terrible sentence at best and its only excuse can be that the crime amply merits the penalty. Then if it is necessary all means should be used to make it sure, swift and as painless as possible and free from horrifying dotails, The deelsion of the United States supreme court has made it possible to use the Now York wmethod and it is to be hoped that the people of the state wiil 80e that hereafter its victims of capital punishment nre executed in the least borrible manner men can devise. A HURRIBLE SPECTACLE, At Rroken Bow a crowd of morbid people tore away the enclosure and de- fying the officers forced their way to the spot where they could most conveniently witness the spectacle of the execution of a human being upon the gallows, And | company which has a sealing contract with the government, but it would per- haps be profitable to indemnify the company in such amount as congress should find to be reasonable and fair. Whatever views are ontertained by the administration fn this matter ought to spoedily find expression | in a practical way and no interest other than that of tho government what a horror they beheld! The victim of the law was tortured to death, The officers bunglingly prepared for the ¢ fon, and when the trap was sprung which should have caused | almost instantancous death, the ror» bre and the hall strangled eriminal | fell to the ground below. There the offi- cers picked him up,and returning placed the noose around his neck again and the effort waus made. The writhing form told too plainly that the neck had not been broken and amidst a sickoning silence, broken only by the groans of horror from the crowd, he slowly suffocated. Could unything be more horrible ? onco more Such barbarism should not be possible | under our eivilization, The appliances for performing this awful duty should be tested and known to be perfectly fitted to accomplish their purpose. Theofficers of the law are inexcusable for such un- necessary cruclty, Public executions are wholly demoral- izing, and should not be permitted. The morbid curiosity of u crowd which can sit fascinated by the sickening sight of a death upon thi sht never to be sutisfind. The effect is bratalizing to the human mind. Ixecutions should be in the sccure seclusion of the jail or gullows ot penitentiary. It should never 1 be possible for so dis, ful, so horrible an event to be chronicled in Nebrask THE DANGER PASSED, The opinions of eminent European financial authorities rogarding the situ- ation 3 reassuring. ccording to these Russia has called in all the gold which she at present roquires, and as the financial operations of that country fly responsible for the drain of gold from the United States, it is rea- sonably to be supposed that this will now stop or be very materially dimin- ished. Thevre are other conditions which may continue it for a time, but probably not on any such le as has maintained for two three months. There is still to bo considered the fact that the money markets of Burope, and particu- larly that of England, have not yet fully recovered from the shock they experi- enced from the embarrassments of the Baring Brothers, and as nearly all of them hold large amounts of South Ameri can securities, the value of which ean- not be depended upon from one wock to another, there is constantly present a for apprehension. Nearly all these southern countries have gone b yond the limit of prudence in issuing se- carities, and while they have not erally been quite so reckless as the Argentine republic, probably none of we been or th st cause them could under n prossure tako care of their obligations, The Ru ropean money markets are carrying many millions of these evidences of debt and they e~nstitute a very uncertain factor in the situation. But as matters now look the proba- bilisy is that for the United States all immedinto danger is passed, and that there will be no further heavy drain of gold. rly $50,000,000 has gone out since the beginning of the year, and this must have very nearly liquidated the balances against this country made by the excaptionally large importations of merchandise and st before the provisions of the new tarift law aoplicable to these went invo effect. But even if thisis not the case, the demand for gold during the next two or three months is likely to be 80 moderate as not to produce any ap- preciable effect upon the domestic wmoney market. Thenswill come the r turn tide in payment for our grain, for there appears to be no doubt that the European demand for American bread- stuffs this year will be unusually large, and all the indications are that this country will have a sufficient supply to meet it. Altogether, then, the situn- tion is assuming amuch improved aspect, 80 far as the United States is concern and the outlook is especially prom for the agricultural intercst. The of coming prosperity for this country could nardly be more favorable, SR A CLOSED SEASON PROBABLE. Advices from Canada state that the Dominion cabinet has been considering dispatehes from London requesting the Canadian government to give its opin- ion on the provosal to close the sealing season now at hand to American and Canadian sealers alike, with an estimate of the effect its adoption would have on the senling interests of Canada and the partios there who have fitted out vessels, The British government, it is said, wishes to avoid the seizure of any more Canadian vessels in Behrin a, and in order to do this is bly dis- posed toward a closed season. It understood also that the Dominion ernment is willing that this course shall be adopted, both becauso it would dis- pose of soveral possibly unpleasant inci- donts lator on and at the same time show a friendly spirit toward the United States. From Washington it is reported that the president is desirous of reaching a sottlemont as svon as practicable, but what feeling is regarding the pro- posal for a closed season this yenr is not known. It was stated a fow weeks ago that ha was favorable to it, but owing to the delay of the Brit- ish government in responding to the suggestion of the United States in the matter the situation has undergona some change. Still the fact remains, if the testimony of Prot. Riliot and others familiar with the condition of affairs in Beinving sen is of any value, that if un- restrained and indiscriminate sealing is allowed the coming season, there is danger that this important industey will be very seriously impaired.- Tho interest of the United States in prevent- ing the extormination of the seal is vory much greater than that of any other country, and as it appears now to be the privilege of this country to determine whether there shall be a cessation of sealing for one season, its duty, from considerations of self-interest alone, would seem to be plain, Such a course may appear to be unjust to the ought to have any influence in deter- mining what shall be done. Tf it is d led to submit the whole issue to arbi- tration no time should ho tost in adopt- ing this course, und there can be no doubt that the public sentiment of tho country would approve it. This is the most perplexing and pressing of the in- ternational controversies the United States is ongaged in, and thers are sov- eral cogent reasons why it is desirable to have 1t disposed of as s0on as pru cable, If the prosidont takes this view of it, as he is reported to do, the coun- try may cxpeet to soon learn of some practical stops being taken — THE explanation which Governor Thayer gives as regards the appoint- ment of Carnes and the summary moval of Heimrod does not mend the matter very much., The governor sexts that he had as much right to re- move Heimrod without cause as Boyd had to remove Caldwell. This would be true if the cases were identical. The fuct is Caldwell was commissioned for two years, and when his flrst term ex- pired was allowed to hold over without being recommissioned. That practically left him in position to be superseded at any time at the pleasure of the governor and without cause, Heimrod became his successor by Boyd's choice and under the law his commis- sion would emhrace the period of that part of Caldwel’s second term which had not expired. Heimrod’s removal could therefore only be made for cause if the letter and spirit of the law is to be observed. A v al notice to a man who happened to be in Helmrod's office dur- ing his temporary absence could scarcely be considered the proper method of his removal to his notice He should have been served with a written notice stating the cause of remov: ind if there was any rge affecting his integrity he should haue been given a chance to explain. as- nging OMAIIA people of small means are not afforded favorable opportunities for outings. No other city of 150,000 peopie is so poorly provided with points to which her citizens can go in half an hour for fresh air, shade, rest and pleasure. Save Hanscom park and the Conneil Bluffs attractions, there are no ensily accessible points adjacent to Omaha, Waterloo is too far away. At Bellevue or Florence there might be de- lightful vetreats developed if either of the railways would take the matter in hand. The Missouri Pacific could greatly increase its business by opening u park on itsline near West Side. The Union Pacific could do something in this line at Gil- more by creating an artificial park. The railronds have been singularly in- different about this mat It would be a bonanza to the line which should sue- cessfully open a popular plensure resort where families and social parties could repair for picnics at trifling oxponse, THE diplomatic relations between the United States and China are just now somewhat expensive. The salary of the minister to that empire is $12,000 a year, and at present two men are each draw- ing this salury. Mr. Blair, who was ap- pointed and confirmed, but who was not aceeptable to the Chiness governmont, is lawfully entitled to his salary and is understood to draw it with unfailing regularity. Mr. Denby, whom Blair was to succeed, is at his post of duty and of course receiving his salary, Thus a service intended to cost the peo- ple $12000 a year is a charge upon the treasury of double that amount. nder existing conditions there is no help for this, and pechaps it would be difficult to provide a practi- cable remedy, but obviously in this case the people are paying, to usea Poor Richard illustration, far too much for the whlslln__—_ THE state is largely responsible for losses which may be sustained by citi- zens on account of the failure of wild-cat insurance companies, both fire and life. The people have a right to expect such close supervision as will protect them from dishonest or unfortunate local com- panies, If the laws do not afford the security whieh Is nocessary the insur- ance department should interest itself in securing enactments fully covering possible and probable contingencies, The failure of alarge five insurance com- pany in this city should be thoroughly investigated. Tts former stockholder: are solvent, whatever may be the condi- tion of their successors. The contracts should be protected, either by the old corporation or the new one. Auditor Benton and Attorney General Hastings owe it to the people of this state to on- force the law to the fullest extent, not only for the protection of policy holders in the company but for the vindication of the insurance department, ALPHONSO TAFT, who died at San Diego, Cul., Thursday, was not many yeavs ago prominent in the attention of the country, having filled positions of honor at home and abroad. He was a member of Presiaent Grant’s cabinet during the last year of his second ad- ministration, first as secretary of war and then as attorney general, and he served the country abroad as minister both to Austria and Russia during the administration of President [ayes, In all these positions he won credit for marked ability, Mr. Taft was a native of Vermont, but all the yoars of his active manhood were passed in Ohio, where he attained eminence asn lawyer, He an early and earnest republican, and although lacking the qualities which make a successful politician, did good service to his party, SOMEBODY is asleep or the twenty- three contracts for streot improvements unfinished at close of last season would all now be well under w: OMAHA is very much gratified of course at being selected as the place of Sy [ W—— holding the ngxt Trans-Mississippi con- | gress, but thadalogation did not reflec tho sentiment of this community in vot- ng to commif, ghe convention to free coinage of silvebias a compensation for the complimefit. ——————— WIHEN the eily physician, the police commission and ¥he chief of police have completed the peorganization of tho force it is hopod the uniformed gentle- men will find time for n vigorous clean- up of thugs, disspputables, burglars and suspicious charte There are too many persons of this ilk lying around loose for the good of Omaba.

A monopoly that crowds men off tho earth and desies them the right to live by denying the opportunity is like a plague. Huntington 1s right.

This discontent has vastly strongthened the republican movement, which, according to London and Lisbon gos- sip, has grown so formidablo that the king has been seriously considering the advisabil- ity of abdication. Such an act would give a new impetus to the soclal forces which are threatoning the existence of royalty else- where, The monarchs cannot afford to have another republic started in Buropo. They see that a rovolution in Portugal would be likely to spread to Spain, and that Kingship in the other noighvoring nation, Italy, would be imperilled . outsido of his own kingdom of Prussia, Williwm IL has vory limited pow- ers, In war, to bo sure, he is commander-in- chief of the Gorman armios, but in peace he is @ mere figurchoad, ropresonting through imperial ministers tho collective intorests of the confederate states in thoir relations to foroign powors. All legislation on imporial concerns must proceed from the concurrenco of tho fedoral council and the reichstag, and Prussia’s delegatos to the formor body are appointed, not by William IL, in his roio of Prussian sovoreign, but by the Prussian min- isters: while Prussia’s roprosentatives in tho veischstag aro choson directly by the peoble. Tven, therofore, in tho narrow and care- fully defined flold of imporial offairs the personal violation of tho emporor counts for very little during tunes of peace. As rogards all those mattors, leg- islutive, administrative and judicial, William 11 has absolutely nothing to do in the king- doms of Bavaria, Wurtemberg and Saxony, 1 the grand duchios of Badon, Hesse-Darim- stadt and Mechlenburg, in tho Saxon duch- ies, and other smaller yot partially indepen- dent principalitios.

It was a fool's speech, the bray- ado of a silly boy. o The sensitiveness of the Japanese govern- ment and people with respect to the recent attempt on the life of the crown prince of Russia 1s creditable. Japan wants the world to understand that the murderous assault upon the nation's guest is viewed with ab- horence and utterly condemned and exe- crated by all classes. Indeed, the condnct of the dignitaries of the Japaneso govern- ment since the unfortunate affair, and the solicitude and deep regrat shown by tho press of the country and by the emperor's subjects in evory class of society, are evi- dence of Japan's great progress in civiliza- tion, as well as of the amiablo character and disposition of that interesting people. The prolimivary examination of Tsuda Mitsuzo, the man who tried to kill the erown prince, shows that he is probably an ignorant and egotistical fanatic of the Guiteau type. This dangerous varicty of the human being is common the world over, and occasiorally it prodnces an individual who finds the oppor- tunity to exercise an important influence upon the course of history. Kvery prominent person runs the risk of eucountering one of these Guiteaus, and of suffering at his hands. ‘Tsuda Mitsuzo's delusion happened to be that Japan was in danger from Russian encroachment, and this idea suddenly fired the murderous impulse when he found himself in the presence of the son of the czar, It was a mere chance thav Tsuda's mania tarned on Russian aggression. 1f ho had been possessed with the delusion that his mission was to deliver Japan from the rule of a tyrant, then the Emperor Mut- suhito and not the heir to the Russian throne would have been his chosen victim. As be- tween Russin and Japan, thero is not the slightest political significanco in an ocour- rence which is deplored nowhero more sin- cerely than in the islands which the crown prince is visiting. Japan, among nations, is everybody's friend. o ¥ The trouble between Turkey and Russia in relation to the passage of the Dardanelles is not ended yet, but thus far the question raised is one of etiquette chiefly, which the Kuropean powers are lettiug alone ve fully, lest interference should give it diate importance. The Turkish authorities more than suspected that the Russian ves- sels which were stopped by the forts had soldiers and military material on board, al- though externally they were innocent mer- chantmen, but M. de Nelidoff, the Russian ampassador, pretends to bo outraged greatly by this suggestion of an abuso of the trading ensign, “and declares tnat it is an insult to the Russian flag. By taking this ground he has avoided very adroitly any discussion of treaty rights, in which other powers would be concerned, whilo pro- viding excuse for a diplomatic quarrel, It fis understood that the Vienna and Pesth news- papers, which have been urging the propriety of somebody calling Russia to oracr, have re- ceived a hint from the Austro-Hungarian foreign office to hold their tongues about this delicato subject., The latest information in the matter is a report thata preliminary or- rangement has been made by which vessels of the Russian volunteer fieet flying the commer- cial ensign will be pormitted to pass through the Bosphorus as merchant vessels, providing that, in the event of such vessels carryiug sol- diers or war material, Russia shall notify the porte to that offect, »*u Queen Natalio of Servia, whose expulsion by force from her son’s kingdom, has shared the fate which has overtaken all tho rair women who have been raised from’ the ranlks of the people toa seaton tho turone. The ephemeral glory of the latter can scarcely bo considered as an adequate compensation for the sorrows and misfortunos by which thoy have each in turn boen overtaken. The un- happy lovof the Empress Eugenie and of tho Empress Josephine, as well as those of Queen Horteuse of the Netherlauds, of Quecn De- sive of Sweden, of Quoon Julie of Spain, and of Queen Carollne Murat of Napios, is entively in keoping with that of Queen Natalis of Sorvia, who, after having been de- prived by force of her ouly child, is now ex pelied with a similar display of brutality from the kingdom over which he uominally reigns.

The auditor then announced Ben I, Cowdery, late secre. tary of state, for Brink's successor, and under the agrcement Mr. Cowdory was con- firmed. A short time ago the board of transporta- tion chose three new secretaries.

Mr. McManigle was snowed under, ' etary Garber, another creature of the uuditor, also lost his job in the shufile. Shortly after this disastrous fray the bank- ing bourd coucladed that the business of tho department wurranted another examiner, and Mr. Garber, an especially well qualified man for the place, by the way, was ap- pointed. It wasalso nizrood informally to i point a fifth examiner. It is not clear why this was done, but it is surmised that it was for the benefit of Attorney General Haustings, who had nono of these plums to giveout.
