KANSAS CITY recognizes Omaha as the best cattle market in the country by shipping train loads of cattle to this city for sale instond of Chicago.

Tur sentevce of Philadelphia’s ex- treasurer ton term of 15 years in the penitentiary calls to mind the fact that the individnal with o long checkerod carcer often finally finds stripes better suitable to his tastes and condition. THE pooplo of Nebraska through their next legislature will cheerfully renumer- ate the board of public lands and build- ings for any necessary exponss incurred in pursuing the investigation into the management of the Hastings asylum for the incurablo insane. REGISTRATION is in progress under the new constitution of Mississippi. It goes without saying that the constitu- tion is accomplishing the purposo of its enactment. The majority of the legal voters will have no kink in their hair, The kinks in the constitution cured that difficulty effectually. THE genoral conforence of the Metho- dist Episcopal church in -May, the national convention in June, and the interstato drill in July, will make Omaha tho livoliost city in America next year. Wo shall have a half dozen smaller conventions between times to keop up tho interest. —— COUNCIL BLUFFS continues to insist upon a #500,000 union depot. It is to b hoped our neighboring eity will have less union depot tribulation than Omaha, sthing will bring tears of romorse to the eyes of a loyal citizen of Omaha quicker than to whispor in his oars something about & new union depot un- Toss it be o romark about the new post- ofiice.

The chairman of the Towa dologation gave its 16 votes to Johnson when they should have gono to Hamlin, The states were called in tho order of age, and the vote of Towa coming nenr tho end gave the impression that the tide was running to Johnson. Simon Cameron, who had givon the 52 votos of Penusylvunia to Hamlin, changed them to Johnson, and this made a stampede. CHAFK COUNCILME 5 and Tuttle have convinced the board of county com- missionors that their effort to settle a dispute by a stroke of the pen, without the consent of both parties to the issue, is to say the least extraordinary, and the board has agreed to let the matter be dotermined upon its merits after a full hearing. The practical vesult of this conclusion will bo seen in the early romoval of the dirt from tho Douglas street hog back and the transfor of 810,000 from the county treasury to the city’s general fund. The two council- mea did themselves oredit and cendered their constituonts an important service, THE PATH TO SALVATIO On May 28, last, just prior to his do- parture for Europs, Mr. Resewater ad- | dressed an open lotter to the republicans | of Neb | which he summned up his conclusions in | the following language : “We cannot hope to win the battie oither this year or in 1802 unless we do someth’ ngible for the producers, Promises will no farmers and working men, “IWe muat either reconvene (he legisiature and give the prople the relief we have promised or furee the state board of tranaporta’t n to do its duty. “Good crops will doubtless bring botter times and the flat money and sub-treasury craze will subside when farmers have sold their surplus at good prices. But the de- mand for reduced raiiroad rates will not abate until it has beon complied with. An abundant harvest will emphasize their de- mand for lower rates moro than ever, and it is simply out of question to expect any re- cruits from our farming people sc long as our party, which controls the state board of transportation and is responsiblo for it, fails to act up to its platform promises.” Since the publication of the above the can state press, the lnaders of the party and interested in the party’s success, discussed the situation as outlined by Mr. Rosewator very gencrally, From tims to time the comment of newspapers and the written opinions of landers have haon published in these columns, Toduy the views of amajority of the ac mombors of the state central comn appear. The reprosontatives of t pirty are very largoly in favor of Mr. Rosewator’s su gostion that the stato bosrd of trans- portation be forced by the influence of republican sentiment to do its duty. Tho state central committee will undoubtedly memoralize the bowrd upon the subject. There is no goneral disposition amonyg republicans to have the legislature convened. The party has tho matter in its own hands, and by prop s and prompt fon can afford the producers the re- liof they justly demand at its hands and which has been so often promised but s0 long deferred. It is understood that no, opposition will bo offered to the proposed adoption of a railway rate schodulo basad upon the Towa law and taking into considera- tion difforences of conditions between the statos by any membar of the board of transportation with one nossiblo ox- coption. A majority however is favor- able and if the sentiment of tho party is allowed to govern their action the griev- ance which has bean the cause of discon- tent to farmers and producors and the source of strength to the independent party will be removad by n vepublican board of transportation at the roquest of the republican state contral committon reprosenting the wish of the rank and file and tho pregs of the ropublican or- ganization in Nebraska.

The board of public lands and build- ings has about completed its investiga- tion of the Hastings asylum scandal. Its findings and recommendations will shortly be handed to the governor. With this duty performed the board’s respon- sibilivy censes, and that of the governor begin The people of Nobraska and the republican party feel that the board of public lands and buildings has thus far performed its duty with an eye single to the best interests of the state. Ham- perod by the refusal of the governor to suspend the accused parties upon prima facie evidonce of their guilt, and hin- dered by want of precedonts for their action, without funds they have patiently plodded through the weary days of evidence gatherivg and with signal skill made the best of very unsatisfactory conditions establishing every important charge proferred. From the mass of testimony gathered under circumstances which might well have discouraged a less determined body the board has definitely fixed the responsibility for the extravagance, tho mismanagoment, the frauds, and the personal misconduct which has dis- graced the institution for the incurable insane at Hastings. Fred G. Test and J. W. Liveringhouse have been clearly shown to bo unworthy of the confidence of tho party and taxpayeis. Th should be summarily removed and the places should be immediately filled by men of honesty, ubility and” decency. Nothing short of this will satisfy the public or vindicato the good name of the republican party SUCCESSFUL ELECTROOUTION. The socond experimont with electro- cution in New York appoarsto have been entively successful. According to thotostimony of those who weve per- mitted to witness the utions, aeath was puinless and instantancous, If such is tho case there has been great im- provement in the machinery employed since the first experiment, for it will ho remembered that the killing of Kemm- ler was marked by features altogothor revolting to the sense of humanity and induced o vigorous demand for a repeal the law providing for o by olectricity. Tho civeums in that croated a popular sentiment which justifiod tho efforts that were made to prevent tho carrying out of the law in the of the four murderers just executed, on the ground of cruelty, but the statute was sustained in all the courts, and now that it has boon demonstrated that death by olectricity is quick and pain- less tho luw will doubtloss stand, The question naturally suggested by the suceess of eloctrocation in York is whether it will ever hcoms general in this countey. It will un dountedly be adoptad by othar states, but it is not probable that it will make rapid progress in popilar neceptance. The mystery attending the prop for execution and all the condit nected with the innovation of n nature to repsl the public. It is sug- gostive of some of the ancient mothods of punishment, at which modern thought revolts, and yet this fosling is almost wholly sentimental, for people who will take an iutellizent and peactical view of the matter must conclude that hanging exo of sution ncos cise rations ns o are is a far more barburous method of tak- ing life and is liable to subject the victim to much greater suffering. It not iofrequently happens that death longer bo accopted as a logal tendor by our | [ by the rope r | as brutal. under the above caption, in | | the best of me | laws, and as citizons, huve an cqual voice in making them.” With. gavd to limitations and restrictions upon immigration, Mr. Depow said he would bo willing to | 2 their formu- Intion to reprosentatives of the Irvizn, THE OMAHA DAI sults from strangulation, | and thore is rarely a hanging altogethor free from incidents properly described As to the preparations, the unfortunate creature doomed to death can hardly suffer more from reflecting upon the mystery of getting ready the electrical apparatus than from hearing the work of constructing the gallows. Society demands the death penalt and the civilization of the timo require that it be inflicted with th ble suffering to those who and with no more of of conditions wund incidents natur- ally revoltive to humanity than are ingeparable from the putting to death by authority of the law of a human being. The guillotine or garrote would bs im- possible in this country, yot they are more summary and certain mothods of oxecution than the rope. Ungquestiona- bly clactricity, sciontifically appliod, is ans for producing quick and painless death, and although its adoption for the execution of muvderers may be slow, it is hardly to be doubted that ultimately it will be very generally employed. loast possi- incur it, terror or THE TRADE 08 MONTANA. Two weeks ago Thi Bes published an editorial article relative to tho im- portance of a commercial connection with Montana., The advantages to accrue to hoth states should facilities for an inter- chango of products be established were siefly doalt upon and the importance of a direct lino of railway from Omaha to Helena was urged. Upon the receipt of THE Bk in Helena it found o warm response to its sentimonts among tho business men of that prosperous little city. The Commercial club, which cor- vesponds to our board of trade, immedi- atoly seized upon the occasion toexpress its approval and the following telogr am s forwarded: wi Hevexs, Mont., July 6.—To the Editor of | Tue Be he citizens of Halana recipro- cate your prassions favorable to botter railroad communications which means an exchange of Montana gold and cattle for Nebraska corn and pork. Its magor aud Commereial elub cordially invito a visiv from your reprosentative business men to tho richest city in the world. \H. Kreivsemunt, Mayor. DoN LD BRADFORD, President Commoreial club, Here -is a business-like proposition from business msn. The O niha organ- izations for tho improvamont and pros- pority of the city should immediately tako steps to mect these psople, Thero are but 400 milos of railway to ba con- structed to bring Holena and Omiha together. The immonse hords of cattle, horses and sheep on the Mont; ranges should soek this macket. The products of her rich mines should come to Omaha smelting and refining com- panies for trowmsnt. In return for these eloments of wealth Nobraska and Omaha will send to Montana corn, pork, poultry, four, sugar, eggs and other articles of which that great state stands in need and which she now receives by less direct routes, The coal and oil fields of Wyoming lying midway between the two states are another ele- ment of vast importance to the com- merce which a direct line of railway from Omaha to Helena will develop. There are three railways now pointing toward the rich far northwest. The two cities should unite in stimulating the companies to activity. Nebraska, with over a million psoplo raising corn, hogs, wheat, oats, sugar beets, produce, poultry and other field products, and with Omaha the third stock market in the world, offers to Mon- tana exactly what she most needs in re- turn for the $67,000,000 surplus annually preduced by the 200,000 paople of the wealthy new northwestern state. There will be no competition bstween the states. The business relations will ba reciprocal in the highost degree. Ad- vantages will come to both from an ar- rangement for interchanging products. ISach noeds the other and offers to the railways the bost assurancos possible for a profitable and growing carrying trade. Omaha and Helena working to this end, backed by the necossities and business interosts of two ereat states, can and should shortly force the construction of a railway ¢ A GOOD WORD FOR THE IMMIGRANT. The colebration of Independence day at Woodstock, Conn.,was marked by the colleetion of notable men and of interosting addresses, and immigration was among the subjocts considored by the orators. Senator Hawley, as prosi- dont of the day, devoted most of his ad- dress to it, saying that every immigrant must become a true and thorough Amor- ican, a sontiment which everybody will agreo with who is worthy to live under and enjoy tho advantagos of a freo gov- ernment. Mr. Chauncey Duopow re- forred to this subject and spoks a good word for tho immnigrant. Autoceatic and monarchical institutions, ho suid, do ot possess the power of assimilating and unifying their people, but America has 15,000,000 of aliens who have buen hore for only 50 years and are of all vacos and ov s, and yot the di- vino principle of tho equality of all men before the law has made them bone of our bone and flesit of our flesh, “We know no difforence,” said tha orator, “*botween the son of the emigrant of yes- terday and the descendant of the pil- grims of 23 They equally contribute o our grow'l, prospetity and power, are equally obedient to ou r or 0 years ago.

But we stil have room for the honest, the healthy, the industrious and intelligent, who rome to us to improve their conditior and add to our national strength,” All this is in the right spivit, and it i atifying to know that such sentiment are held by influential men who hawvc the o proclalm them on ocensions when they can exort an in fluence.

The tatistics recgfitly compiled by the trons- ury department show that the English- speaking olement in this country still has an immen¥h majority over any or all other classes;of the population. So long as this €titinues to be the case, and it is hardly possible that it can ever be otherwise, the, republic will not be in poril from any immigration tolerated by our laws. There are dangers to our in- stitutions much moro serious than can | possibly avise from the system of regu- | lated immigration provided for by ex- isting statutes, Mi. WILLIAM M.

Peruars it would be well to check over the bond business of the city and county again to make surc that no other embarassing mistakes have oceurred, The credit of Omahaand Douglas county has always beon first-class.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: Tho death of Mr. Hamlin will take thousands back to the days 1860, when the names “Lincoln and Hamlin" were in the mouths of the people from Maino to California. Mr. Hamlin outlived the most of his contemporaries of that stirring era and was as highly esteemed by the present gen- eration as by the generation that fought through the anti-slavery agitation and the war. St. Louis Republic: The unoxpected death of Hannibal Hamlin, announced yestorday morning, will awaken bistorical and politi- cal reminiscences throughout tho land. He was first elected to congress as a democrat in 1842 and went to the senate as early as 1848, In 1857 he was clected gov- ernor of Maine as a republican, but soon resigned to return to the United States senato, resigning only when electea vice president. In 1369 he was again elected United States senator and served till 1581, He was then appointed minister to Spain, but the duties of a diplomat in a foreign court had little attraction for him, and aftor a yoar’s servico he roturned home.
