I APPEARS that one of the southern brigadicrs, General Wheeler of Alu- bama, was sorely offended at some ve- marks directed to him a fow days ago by Representative Boutelle of Maine and has given out that he does not intend to lot this matter pass unuoticed. Such a threat some years ago would have been construed to mean a duel, but it is not probable that Wheelor has any such de- sign, though he has appeared on the *field of honor.” Mr. Boutelle was ridi- culing the economy scheme of the demo- crats and in tho course of his remarks made personal allusion to General Wheeler in terms that caused a great deal of amusement at the expense of the Alabama congressman, Some of these referonces wore certainly unjustifiable, and Mr. Boutolle would do the proper thing by apologizing for them, but Mr. Wheeler will not improve the matter by nureing his anger und threats of trouble. Let him wait his op- portunity and pay the Maine congress- man back in kind. The incident sug- gests the observation that it would be no disadvantage to congress if in their discussions the bad move re- members aity und courtesy. making | CARNES HAS STRUCK OIL.

According to continu the M Carnes there has been no legitimate compluint made with regard to the in- of oil, which must be inte pretea to mean that the exposure of his methods and the numercus complaints from citizens and dealers made through the columns of THE BEE were not legit- tmate. Coming from o prrson so notor- iously discredited among reputable people, this remark will scarcely cause any surprise. THE WAREHOUSE LAW., The state warehouse law is not well understood and not properly appreci- ated. Al of the papers that pose as champions of the producers hive striven ever since its enactm:nt to dis- credit the measure. They have por sistently anttempted to make the peoplo beliave that the law is chiefly advan- tageous to grain dealers and specnla- to nd have insisted without a shadow of foundation thatits enforcoment has simply added burdens to the producer without corresponding benefits Chief Inspector Blanchard has issued ilar to producers and shippors in Nebruska which ought to be published and cead extensively. Tt will correct many errors and oxplain some of the features of the law not now well undei- stood. Ile cites facts which cannot be disputed that Nebraska inspection has atready secured vecognition, and points out instances where money has been saved to Nobraska shippers. o also explains in detail the methods of in- spection and presents facts and figures, to prove the importance of a local mar kot of sufficient standing to grade its own grain. Finally, Mr. Blanchard in- vites shippers to visit his office and in- vestigate the system of inspection and the application of the warehouse law genvrally as it is iliustrated in practice by his corps of assistants. e govs fur- ther and proposes to furnish samples showing the standurd of various grades upon veceipt of 4 cents postage per sam- ple, and to cheerfuily furnish informa- tion by mail upon any point of interest to producers und shippers with the business. There should be no occasion for de- fending the warehouse law. Lxperience in Illinois, Missouri, Minnesotn and other states has shown the utility of the measure in grain producing soctions. Towa is now considering the enactment of a law altogether similar to the Ne- braska law. If the editors who are striving to discredit the law would give it honest consideration, and personally inspect its workings, they could not can- didly oppose it or doothoewise than pronounce upon its purposes fayorably. It needs amendment to make it move ef- fective, but to repeal it would be a long step buckward which the best informed farmers and grain men of Nebrask would regard as extremely unfortunaute. eaginous spection Se THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. If there is any significance in the se- lection of Chicago for the national dem- ocratic convention so far as the chances of candidates wre concerned, it is 10 be regarded as favorable to Mr. Cloveland. It is not to bo doubted that Tammany desired that the convention be heid in New Yorlk, but the voting showed that whatever influence had been brought to bear in behalf of that city produced very little effect. The course of the ballots shows that from the first the sentiment of the committee was overwhelmingly in favor of holding the convention in a western city, and the contest was really between Milwaukee and Chicago after tho latter city had seriously entered the race. At Chicago the Tammany influ- ence, while it will not be wholly absent, will amount to little in comparison with what it could do had w York been chosen. In that case Mr. Hill and his followers would have dominated ever; thing and the cause of Cleveland would huve been hopeless. It is quite possible that Mr, Cleveland will not be the candidate, but his chances have not heon reduced by the solection of Chiengo, while the pros- pects of Mr. Hill certainly have not been improved. The frienas of the ex- president will now have a fair field, and if thoy fail it will not be due to local in- fluonce. Doubtless a majority of the democrats of Illinois are friendly to Mr. Cleveland, so that it1s fairly to be as- sumod that the weight of local influence will be in his favor. It is true that he is not as strong with the westorn de- mocracy as he was four years ago, owing to the fact thatthe party has espoused the cause of froe silyer, and if he gets the nomination it will not be without a pretty hard fight, but at any rate he is assured a fair ehance to make the fight. Another point in the situation is to be considored, and that is the possibility | tion.

Governor Gray of Indiana, who was somewhat freely talked of a short time s 0 possiblo candidate, appears to have dropped out of consideration since some one questioned hisintelligence and produced facts to justify the allegation that Mr. Gray is very deficient in intel- rquirements, The democratic national convention, which will meet two weeks after tho publican national convention, promises to be unusuaily intervesting, both by renson of the contost likely to oceur over the selection of a candidate and the dif- ficuities that will be met with in making a platform. Unless tho factions can be harmonized before June 20 the conven- tion will be one of the liveliest in the history of the part DEATH OF JUSTICE BRADLEY. Another vacancy is made in the bench of the United Stutes supreme court by the death of Associute Justice Joseph P, Bradley, and the country loses the services of an able and conscientious jurist. Justice Bradley had nearly com- pleted twenty-two years on the supreme hench, to which he was appointed by President Grant, his period of service being exceeded by only one member of tie present bench, Associate Justic: Pield. Justice Bradley did not attain the fame as a “jurist that has been ‘hieved by some other members of the court, but he was regarded as a sound and sufe lnwyor and his opinions carried great weight. His name will be per- petuated in connection with some of the most important decisions handed down by the supreme court since he was a member of it, and it will also be fo ever associated in the political hisvor of the country with the memorable Electoral commission of 1877, his being the deciding vote in all questions that resulted in making R. B. Hayes prosi- dent. He was subjected to a great deal of harsh criticism at the time, but all fair-minded men believed that he was entively conscientious in his course. In the history of the supreme court but fifteen of its members served a longer period than Justice Bradley. This is the thira v y that death has made in the bench of the supreme court since the Harrison adminisvration came in. No other president had so many judicial appointments to make as President Hurrison, and with hardly an oxception his selections have com- manded general commendation. His two appointments to the supreme beunch, Justices Brewer and Brown, were heartily approved by men of a]l parties. He will undountedly maintain the high standard in appointing n successor to Justice Bradley. g ro- AN AUDACIOUS DEMAND, Two years ago the city council invited proposals for official ndvertising. The only two papers eligible undor the chay ter were Tui Bes and World-Herald. The bid of the World-Herald was 12 cents per square for the first insertion and 8 cents per squave for each sub quent insertion. The bid of THE Be was very much higher, and the courci awarded the contract to tho World-Her- ald for the year 1800, By the torms of this contract the World-Herald was obliged to continua the city advertising at theso ratos until anothor contract was let In December, 1890, the council invitod bids for the official advertising for 1891, Inasmuch as the World-Herald — was obliged to carry the city advertising at its rate for 1800, the council was in hon or bound to reject any higher bid -from gither paper. TiE BEE did not want the advertising at the low vate that tho W.-H. was veceiving, and therefors it declined to bid. When Hitcheock found out that Tue BEE had declined to bid he submitted a proposal by which he raised his rate from 12 conts to 20 cents per square first insertion, and from 8 cents to 24 conts for each subsequent insertion. This was the most high-hauded raid upon the taxpayoers that had ever beon attempted by any publisher in Omaha. Tt wasa raise of nearly 500 per cent above the contract rate which the city had a right to enforce for an indefinite period until it could geta bid equally as low or lower. But the late economic mayor and the Movearty gang that wanted to pay its political debts at the oxpeuse of tho tax- payers helped Hitcheock to perpotrate this job, and thereby saddled the city with over 33,600 of an advertising bill, that a westorn man may get tho nomina- | bid was handed in, viz., th | cannot be carried for Cleveland and tho | | supportors of the ex-president should | Decomber gard, as a rule, for the yualities of dig- | her New York | Tue Ber's bid would again bo rejuecte when by rights under the contract of 1890 ho could have been compelied to tuke less than $1,500 for the same work. Before this job was consummated an injunction was applied for in the district court, on the ground that the letting of a new contract at an enormous advance over the contract price of 1890 was against public policy. But the court declined to enjoin the ecity authorvities on the ground that the mayor and coun- eil had control of ecity affairs and the court could not interfere in any contem- plated action thut might or might not be an infraction of the law. Although this docision apponred to give counten- ance to Hitcheock’s deliberate rake-off, no further stops were taken. At the Inst meeting in November, 1891, the council directed Comptrollor Goodrich to invite proposals for city ad- g for the yoar 1592 The bids » to bo in on December 8.

That gave Hitcheock another whack at the treas ury by resson of the incidental delay. Finally last Tuesday the council awarded the contract for 1892 to THE BEE as the lowest bidder, conditioned that the city should have the option of using the evening or morning edition at the rate proposed in the bid. Determined to stavo off final action which threatens to deprive him of tho revenue gotten by n contract that trebled his former rate, Hitcheock now iavokes the courts to come to his rescue and usks that the council be enjoined from mak- ing a contract that veduces the cost advertising to the taxpayers and place officinl notices in the hands more than nine-tenths of the who read newspapers and pay for their papers.

The only remarkna- ble thing about it is that but two papers takon advantage of the law. Under the statutes, Swedish, German and-Bohiemian newspapers are entitled to the tax list upon certain easily por- formed conditions. The amount allowed each paper last ar was $1,260. This sum goes n long way toward staving off want in a weckly newspaper officp.

At that time the territory geo. | graphically designated as “Ciermany” in- cluded and consisted of two political combin- ations known as the north German aud the south German confederations, the former being undor the leadorsuip of Prussin and ! having a liberal constitution. On learning of the unanimous desire of the governments, as oxpressed in the replies of the Bavarian circular, the Diet of the north German cou- federation made tao alterations necessary 1n the confederation’s constitution that the con- federation might bo so changed in teris as to become the “German Empire.” The states of the southorn contederation wore in- vired to accept the revised constitution, an invitation which was accepted by all the iute conncils except that of Bavaria, Leichstag, or joint assembly of the combin iniz states, voted to establish a political fic- tion, to the effect that the united German Empire should date its birth fro: January 1, 1571, and it tendeved the imperial crown to the king of Prussia, then in commaud of the Germen troops before Iaris. In dofor- enco to Bavaria’s tardiness William de- layed his formal written acceptance until January 14, when, without longer awaiting intelligonce from tho Bavarian council, he addressed an open lotter to tho German princes announcing his acceptance, The coronation coremonial was held four days later and on the 2Ist the Bavarian council adopted the constitution.
