The next prosi- dent will be eithor a republican or a democrat, and independents who have withdrawn their allegiance from the re- publican party upon local and state issues wmust soe beyond question that their votes for the third p: v candidate for president are votes for the demo- cratio nomjnos EASTERN are newspa pers greater prominence to the free coinage resolution of the Denver congress than the faocts in regard to its adoption war- giving rant. The convention elected a silver man chairman by a majority of but two votes and the resolution had but two votes more than a bare majority in spite of the fact that it wasa guthering of western men in a silver state. When it comes to the money question the east will find the west on the right'side. It may be loss opirionated as to the proper relations of the two metals but it will never give its voice or its vote to any measure likely to impair the credit of the nation, DAVID BUTLER. The death of David Butler removes from life ono of the rugged pionsers who helped to lay the foundations of this commonwealth, As the first gov- into the union, he was largely instru- mental in the location of the capital and may be truthfully the founder of the city of Lincoln. That city will remain a per- vetual monument to his foresight and indomitable pluek. He was not only the godfather of the city of Lin: coln, but the founder of its leading news- paper, the Journal, which he generously donated to its present editor ns n mark of his esteem and good will, A self-made man in the fullest sense of the word, David Butler roso from the poor plowboy to the governorship of this state by the sheer oxertion of irresistible will-power, coupled with natural talents of no mean order. Without a liberal education and with very limited menns at his command Le trained himself to be a forceful and improssive speaker, and by his innate magnetism draw to himself the foliowing which for yoars was de- votedly attached 1o him. [n 1868 69 he came within two votes of being nom- inated United States senator in a repub- lican legislative convention whore a nomination was tantamount to an elec- tion, David Butler's public eareer would have doubtless raised him to the highest position within the gift of the people of this state had he not succumbed to the pernicious influences of political cintes who imposed upon his impulsive generosity and led him astray from the path of duty. THE natural sympathies of David But- ler were always with the common peo- ple, and he strongly favored many of the social and political reforms for which the toiling masses ave struggling, and among his immediate neighbors he al- ways had a host of wavrm friends. 0830+ CLEM, Mi In the Fremont jail two await execution under sentence of death for the crime of murdering a neighbor for money. The evidence at the trial was conclusive as to their guilt and no pallinting circumstances were shown. Able attorneys represented the con- demned men in the lower courts and car- ried their cases to the supreme court of the state, That tribunal afirmod the verdict of the lower court, and now nothing but the governor of the state or the hand of God can provent them from expinting their awful crime upon the gallows, Eixecutive ciemenoy is asked for tho murdere The appeals of a brother of one of the murdered men secured o numerously signed petition, and among the names attached ave those of elevon of the jurors who convicted them. Of course counter protests have been circu- lated, and as fow men will refuse to sign a petition when presentod by a friend, it likkewise contains a long list of names. ' Theve is now altogether too much un- certainty about the law. Men ave will- ing to take chances of punishment for the very reason that the processes of tho courts are neither swift nor sure. The frequent mistakes of courts and juries involving new trinls at great oxpease and the tendency to lenidney for criminals i the courts are chiofly responsible for the appeal 1o lynch law 50 deplorably common. There is a gon- eral letting down of severity in the courts of our land and a disposition among the people to condone criminals where trial occurs months aftor the erime is committed. The eleven jurors undoubtedly fol- lowed a human instinct in signing a petition for executive interference, but there is too much wenkness of this character displayed by jurovs, prosecut- ing officers and tho boneh. The law should talke its course where guilt is un- questioned and no palliating cireum- stances intervene. Jurors should not nullify their own work after the triul by nsking the governor to pro- tect a eriminal from the just conse- quences of his erime and the proper vesults of their vordict. The majesty and dignity of the law can only be main- tained by its impartial enforcoment., So long as death on the gallows is the pen alty of murder it should be impossible, except in such rave instances as rouse a whole community in behalf of the con- demned on account of palliating circum- suances, to avert it. Punishment should inevitably follow conviction, especially where conviction is the result of incon- trovertible evidence of guilt. CY 10 O, LS. murderers ADDITIONS 10 THE FEDERAL JUDICIAR ¥ It is understood that the five land court judges to be appointed by the president have been selected, and thay their names will be announced this week. Itisalso snid that two of them will be democrats, an arrangement that would meet with very genecal approvai. President Harrison has been commended by meun of all parties for the high char- ter of his judicial appointments thus far, and he will certainly increase his cluims to the esteem of the country if in the selection of juiges he has yet to make he gives his political opponents minori representation. From the partisan point of view it may not be of very groat importance whether the judges are republicans or democrats, 1t is to the honor of our foderal judiciary that purtisan politics hus rarely exertod much influence upon it. The republican supreme court of the Untted States is a conspicuous example of this, even down to its latest decision maintaining the rights of the states ns firmly as a democratic court could have done, while in several conspicuous instonces it has unnulled the acts of republican congrosses, regarded at the time ns being vital to party interests, as nneconstitu- tional. It has been demonstrated that 88 a rule republicans and democrats alike, when elevated 1o the federal Judi- ciary, put aside their partisanship and modify, if they do not abarfdon wholly, the prejudices incident to it. Wi nen worthy of such a position its effect is to elevate and broaden their mental vision and free their jndgment from the eramp- ing influouce of party allegiance, and there have been very few in our judicial history who have not hoen thus affected. It is, thevefore, not of very vital concern which party our federal judges are taken from, but ernor of Nehraska after hor admission | regardod s | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE; WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1801 a republican president may very prop- erly recognize the party in opposition, comprising about half the people of the couniry, by giving it representation in his judicial appointments, From every point of view it would be judieions, and President Harrison will ake no mis- take if he avail himself of the opportun- ity to set so valuable an example. With regard to the appointmentof the nine judges for the new circuit courts of appeal, there is no definite information as to the intentions of tho president. It was stated o fow da that he had determined not to make the appoint- ments until the names of those selected could be sent to the senate for confirmas tion, and as he is not likely to call a spocial session of the senate for the pur- pose this would postpone the appoint- ments until next December. Tha la provides that the courts shall be organ- ized on the third Tuesday of June, 1891, which is the 16th of next month, and it ago would seem to bo desirable that the judges should be appointed before that time, but it has been held that this is not absolutely nocessary: that the organization of the new courts can bo effected by the m of the supreme court in each circuit and the cir- cuit and district judgos. If the pre dent has abandoned the theory urged y in the discussion regarding the ap- pointment of these judges, that they could be selocted when the senate is not in session by virtue of the author given the president to fill vacancies dur- ing tho recess of congross, it is highly probable that the appointments will not be made before next De- cember, and perhaps this will be the wiser course to parsue. It would bo something of a hardship to senators, only 1o be justified by very urgent ne- cessity, to call a special senate for the sole purpose of confirming the appoint- ment of these judges, and there are valid objections, constitutional avd otherwise, to appointing them when the senate is not in session, Hardly any work done by the last con- gress wis more important than that for enlarging and strengthening the federal judiciary, and there is every reason to oxpect that the president’s appoint- ments will meet the approval of the country. THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE DECISION, The decision of the supreme court of the United States affirming the validity and constitutionality of the original package law passed by the last congress, establishes some important principles hitherto in doubt or in dispute. One of these is embraced in the proposition that the constitution does not provide that interstate commerce shall be free. The power to regulate this commerce belongs exclusively to rongress. and it cannot be interferred with by a state in the exe ‘cise of its police power, which is also exclusive, but congress may provide that any article of commevce, which the leg- -isiature of a state declares to he injuri- ous to the health or morals of its people and excludes from its territory, shall be subject to the state law. It'is only in cases where congress fails to exercise its power that state laws which would be a vestraint upon interstate commereo are inoperative, the presumption being that the failure of congress to act is an ex- pression of its will that the sub- ject affected by state legislation shall be fres from restrictions or impositions. It being admit- ted that intoxicating liquors are sub- ct8 of commerce like other commod- ities, it follows that congress may go to any length in giving 1L 10 states in imposing restraints and burdens upon articles of commerce which their legis- latures declare to be prejudicial to the health or morals, the good order and prosperity of their people. There is, of course, no dangoer tl congress will ever go to extremes in the exercise of its power in this divection, Auother principle established by the decision is, that a state law of the character involved in this case does not reguire to be ro- enacted when the obstacle to its opor: tion is removed by act of congress. It was one of the contentions of the de- tendants in this case that the Kansas law must be re-enacted to be operative against liquors brought into the state before the original package law of congress wont into effect, and this view was sustained by the United States cir- cuit court. But the suprem: court de- cides that tho law of congress was not permissive to the stats to act, but simply removed an impediment to the enforcement of a law which it was competent for the state to puss. Tho power of tho state was already com- plete so far as the enactmentof the law was concerned, and it was only neces- sury for congross to place the property where jurisdiction could attach, and this it did by passing the original package law. The decision is explicit in its enuncia- tion of the exclusive police powers of tho state, and it is to be noted as unusual that the court was unanimous as to the conclusions reache The immediate effoct of the decision will probubiy be a more vigorous movement in the prohii tion states for the enforcement of the iaw against the importation of liquors, wi the result of increasing popular senti- nst that poliey. It is well that the question has been settled, and the powers of the states and of congress in Within the 8,500 square miles of terri- tory embraced in the Black Hills exist almost all the treasures of the earth, The claim is boldly made, and sus- ceptible of proof, that no other section of tho continent, of equal ares, ap- proaches it in variety and abundance of natural resources. A variety of obstacles operated to pr vent an aggrossive continuous develop- mentof the region. Wrested from savages by foree, its virgin valleys buptized with the blood of pioneers, it rematned for 10 years practically isolated from the vest of the world. The dungers in- cident to a stage journoy checked the influx of people which flooded other camps. The weak and timid were resteained, but the strong and vigorous poured in and luid broad and doep the foundations of a seore of flourishing communities, No bettee proof of the richness of its precious metals could bo furnished #Mn that the outpft Wolded a handsome re- turn to the n uJ,,n" paying the enor- mous cost of transportation to the rail- rond. The tfhute lovied by primitive transportation companies was a severe dreain on the dugrvies of the psople. It virtually prevanted the development of all but the richest mineral bodies. As A consequenct work was restricted, low grade © okes and the baser metals left [ natouchod, and the growth of the country materially checked. Thasg conditions have disap- peared, Two tdilronds now penetrate the Hills, on the cast and west sides, and their operation have givena marked im- vetus to the country. The one great need—prompt and adequate transporta- tion facilities—is supplied. The sluggish channels of trade have been invigorated, prospecting and dovelopment encour- aged, and industries increased and strengthened. The opening of these highways to the heart of trade and industry faces the Black Hills on the high road to pros- perity. The effect is already apper- ent in the confidence displuyed, the activity prevalent in the mining camps and vigorous energy shown in tho de- velopmens of mines and reduction of min- erals heretofore untouched. Notonly are the gold and silver interests developing splendidly but the tin, copper, coal, iron, lead, mica, zine and other minerals are atteacting entorprising investors, Prominent among the mineral re- sources of the Hills are the vast de- Posits of tin ore. To the outside world the extent and importance of these de- posits were practically unknown until South Dakota became a sovereign state. Its senators and vepresentatives in congress, during the tariff de- bate, not ouly demonstrated their importance as a factor in the industrial progress of the nation, but succeeded in placing a duty on the foreigrt product. The extent and vari of tho deposits, comprising 600 known lodes, coupled with the encouragement accorded by the national government, will go far toward giving the Black Hills n prac- tical monopoly of the country’s tin sup- ply before many vears, The resources of the Hills aro not lim- ited to the metals. It is self-sustaining agriculturally and borders on a vast area of grazing land capable of supply- ing the wants of several million beef eater: Building stone abounds in inex- haustible quantities, as well as marble, cement and cluy. [n fact this favored region contains in lavish abundance the resources neceS#iry to rear prosperous industrial communities. All obstacles to their development are removed, and the Black Hills enters actively upon the career of prosperity a bountiful nature designed for its gleople. — THE purchase of the Salt Lake Herald by a democratic syndicate probably means that the geatiles will no longer form a distinet party in opposition to the Mormons., Republicans and demo- crats will wage warfare on each other and each will'seék the Mormon vote.

Work of the State Relief Commission Drawing to a Close—the Last Order for Supplics —State House Notes, Lixcory, Neb,, May 26,—[Special to Tue Bre. [ -Oficers of state institutions who may think they have a licenso to run affairs with a froe and easy management, should consult the new board of public lands and buildings before contracting nay debts without vositive authority, The oficors of the Hastings hos- pital for iusaue are the latest to have made this discovery. J. W. Liveringhouso, the steward, has boen buying things without the knowledge or consent of the board and hav- ing them charged to tho hospital. He sent in the bills the other duy and the board refused to audit them. Tho law provides that certain supplies shall be bought on contract after bids have been advertisod for, and for other articles thero must be an order of the board. The Hast- ings steward has sot aside both provisions. ‘T'he board not ouly objects to his usurping authority, but it doesn’t liko the looks of his accounts, The contract for groceries was lot to Raymoud Brothers & (C of Lin- coln, but Liveringhouse sent in vouchers for 8320 worth of groceries bought in Hasvings or elsewhore. ‘I'he board bas figuved out the bill at contract prices and found that there has been au overchargo of 814, Theitom of sugar is a sample, Sugar was selling at $.60 per hundred wholesale and twenty pounds for $1 at retail, but Liv- inghouse seuds'bills for sugar bought in 10) pound lots at $7 and $7. This has been sinee April 1. Among the other items is $27 for a span of horses and another of £50 for a preacher. Another peculiar charge is one of #i0 for making an inventory of the property at the time of turuing v over to Governor Boyd's appointees. Among tho itoms of this charge is one of $10 for Campbell, who was 10 bo tha democratic steward, and the boara is trying to figure how he got in on the deal, I'he board looks on this charge for invoiciug with suspici maintaining that there wore cnough officers and employes at the hospital to muke tho inventory without hiring extra help. These are sample instan The bourd has remonstratedéwith Mr. ring- house, and he has responded with lotiors that e considered disrespectfulif not iusulti The legislature made au apy a fence and other improv. pital.

Word was sent last Sat- urday to the desks of the clerks of all coun- ties receiving aid that after this week no sup- piies would be sent except on speciat request. ‘Today the commission has made 04+ 1ts last order for supplies except such as may be needed for special cases. Theorder calls for flour in lots of 4,000 and 6,000 pounds, corn meal in lots of 3,000 and 4,000 pounds, meat in lots of 500 and 1,000 pounds, beans in six and twelve bushel lots, rice, hominy and oatmeal in one and twg bar- rel fots. These supplies will be shipped within a day or two to the following places: Mason City, Custercounty: Eddyville, Da son: Benkelman, Dundy: Curtis, Frontier; Arapahoe, Cambridge and Oxford, Furnus; Kranklin and Riverton, Franklin; Burnwell, Garfield; Wailace and Brady Island, Linceoln ; McPherson, McPherson; Loup City and Hazard, Sherman; Thedford, Tnomas. The commission has seen some strange phases of human _ nature. On the recommendation of Bishop Bounacum and Jolin Fitzgerald it sent a supply of corn aud about §125 worth of other art- icles to Eddyville, a small town in the north- ern part of Dawson county. The commission received two annonymous kicking letters. on_ for bos The authors have been hunted down and found to be trausient residents. One, signed “Citizen in and Around Eddyville, was written on u letterhead obtaied surrepti- tiously from the postmaster aud read us fol- lows : “The committee here do much of the state aid s you here. Most peoplo that are getting aid live nearer Loxington and other towns than they do here and a great many never have thing more than they have this season. do not raise a crop if the season is good. Tha aid is a curse to the country.” The other letter, signed “Suffering Human- ! trics to b facotions : “'We are very thankful for the relief you have already sent us, and now if you can only send some tobacco, 8 fow suits of summer clothing, a few nammocks, one dozen fishing tackle and a little of 1’addy's eye water and other necessaries of life "you will confer a great favor." 5 Adopting its established poli mission investigated the mattor.

The is- tributor for the prec in which Thompson lived is W. J. Bavney. Thompson may have handled private dowations, but he distrib. uted no state supplios. PLANS ACCEPTED, The board of publiclands and buildings has accepted the plans of F. M. Ellis of Omaba, for the proposed aaditions to the Hastings hospital for msane, They call for two wings and a_kitchen, which will add accommoda- tions for 244 patients.
