NO CAUSE FOE ALARM.

Democrats need not be alarmed con.
corning the Convention" of the state
democratic committee at Lincoln, on
Tuesday, December 90, 1884, at z p, IN.
The chairman of the committee has
only the better, more perfect and solidi-
fed organization of the democratic party
In Nebraska at heart. And he has not
as hes been intimated by certain repub-
lican journals-any personal or political
fsvors or endorsements to ask of the
members of the committee either for
himself or for his immediate friends. MIR.

in 1884 as against 2S, 000 In 1882.

|-[Nebraska city NewS.
Morton's scheme of calling the demo
cratic state committee together Ia one o!
his old tricks to get another endorsement.
Some time last summer he resigned the
Craftsmanship of the state committee, and
THE BEE then charged that his resigna'
ton was for the purpose of being en-.
dorsed. The Herald Indignantly denied
this. Not long afterwards, however,
Mr.. Morton's son Joy told several gen.
tlemen hat his father resigned for nc
other purpose. Mr.. Morton has control
of the Nebraska City NcaUS and all these
points and articles about Mr.. Morton are
evidently written or inspired by Morton
himself. 1t is well known that while DR..
Miller was in Europe Morton wrote ar.
ticles for the Herald, and one of these
editorials tried to give reasons why Nor.
ton should be called Governor, a title to
which he has no right, but which is the
ruling passion and vanity of his life.
How he can feel proud of his endorse
ment at the recent election, is something
we cannot quite understand, for it is q
pretty generally conceded fact that al
most any other man would have defeated
Dawes, who was the weakest candidate
the republicans could possibly have nom-
mated.

AS will be seen by a letter In to-day's
BEE tho reported wholesale slaughter in
Custer county was q sensational yarn,
without any foundation whatever. II
probably emanated from some brilliant
genius who is attempting to rival Joe
Mulhattan. The story looked rather
suspicious, from the start, and we had
doubts whether there was any truth In it.
While the killing of q lot of imaginary
persons by an imaginary wholesale mur,
derer, who winds up the butchery with
suicide, may amuse the author and e1,
cite the public, it certainly does no good
to Custer county or the state. We have
enough real tragedies without being made
to suffer for imaginary Ones. Under the
circumstances it will not be safe for this
Nebraska Mulhatton to let himself be
known in Custer county.

THERE will be in this state from ten to
one hundred applicants for every office
within the gift of the president. We
learn that a gentleman who resides in
Lincoln Is seeking the endorsement of
prominent democrats for the position of
general director of the Union Pacific rail
way. The BEE has a preferred candi-
date for that position, O leading democrat
whose name we once proposed and which
at the time was favorably considered by
a republican administration, man who
understands the construction and man,
agement of railroads. man who would
guard and protect the interests of the
people and do justice to both railroad and
people-a man who neither through fear
nor hope of reward could be swerved
from the right, and whose appointment
would be satisfactory to every one. We
need not mention his name, but will al

he would accept the position, but we are

THE INDIAN

The annual report of Gen. Crook,
commanding the department of Arizona,
furnishes abundant evidence, if any was
lacking, of his ability to deal with In
dams in peace as well as in war. After
subduing the warlike Apsches and get
ting them all back upon their reserva-
ton, he at once undertook to teach them
the art of agriculture and stock raising,
with q view of eventually making them
self-supportlng. The Chiricahuas, which
are the worst of all the Apache tribes,
selected farming lands IN the vicinity of
Fort Apache, and seeds and farming I'm.
plements were Issued to them, and the
result shows that they are capable
of becoming excellent farmers. The
same may be said of all the
tribes within the jurisdiction of General
Cook. whose report shows that they haVe
received 3, $50, 600 pounds of corn, 550,-
900 pounds of barley, $4,000 of wheat,
8 1000 of beans, 10000 of potatoes, co.
900 melons, besides cabbage, lettuce, Gu
cumbers and onions. The greatest part
of these were raised by the White Noun
tain tribe, although they lost about a
third of their crops by late spring rains
and early f%rosts; the Yumas also were
| unlucky, an overflow of the ella des-
troying their barley. All this has been
accomplished with a very scant and poor
supply of farming tools, and hence 1t is
evident that if properly equipped and
instructed and encouraged, not only
these Indians but every other tribe in
the country can soon be made successful
filters of the soil and be made self-sup-
porting. In this direction congress
should take steps at an early day to make
the Indian a full.fedged citizen,
upon complying with certain
conditions one of which is the
seveting of tribal relations, and this
would necessarily be followed by the d.
| vision of the reservation lands so that
they could be owned in severalty by the
Indians. This is the course that has
been advocated by General Crook for
several years, and this will probably be
the eventual solution of the Indian prob
lem. The Indian is capable of becoming
a model citizen, and all that he needs is
the opportunity and proper encourage
ment. IT is folly to attempt to keep the
Indians herded together on a reservation
like a lot of range cattle, and feed and
| clothe them at the government expense,
thus furnishing soft places for Indian
agents and fat jobs for willy contractors.

IT is very likely that congress will pass
o bankrupt law, wer to the general
demand for such legislation. The object
of the proposed law is to bring about the
equitable, economical and prompt distri-
button of of bankrupt assets among cred
itors and to secure the discharge of the
bankrupt from his duty on just and reas-
enable terms. The senate passed a
bankrupt law at the last session, and it
only needs the concurrence of the house
before the 4th of March to complete Its
passage. The provisions of this law are
thus summarized:
1t will enable a bankrupt or his credit
ors to institute proceedings in every con-
gressional district instead of going to the
Tilted States district court, which was
necessary under the old law, and was In
many cases a great hardship. The com
missioner of bankruptcy, before whom
the proceedings may be begun, has all
the powers of a master In chancery. His
compensation Is fixed at $4,000 q year,
but may be increased by order of the
court not to exceed $4,000. There Is to

business 1t Is to inspect the commission.
ers' offices and instruct the clerks,
trustees, and other persons en-
gagged in administering the law;
his compensation is also limited to $4,000
a year. The fees provided are $50 for
the application, 1 per cent of the full
amount realized on the assets, and one
half Of l per cent On any composition of
indebtedness. AS all these fees are peid
into court to be transferred to the United
States treasury, they offer the officers no
inducement for Partially or delay.
Speedy liquidation is also facilitated by
giving the United States circuit court
final jurisdiction of all questions of law.
The exemptions are confined to the nee
essary family wearing apparel and such
property as Is exempt from attachment

THERE is nothing illogical or fanatical
in the springlng up of an anti-monopoly
party In Nebraska, says the Chicago

the ruling influence In all elections ex-

not ouly tae attention of the Chicago
Herald out of many other leading news

Nebraska Is not the only state that Ia suf-
fering from railway eXtortion and discrim-
nation. The Herald says:
The people of Nebraska, who observe
the impossibilty of getting their cereals
to market at rates for transportation
which will give them a fair chance, and
who see one syndicate controlling the
elevator and grain buying business along
awhoie line of road, paying for grain
less than the natural value, naturally
suspect that all these facts have secret
connection. 1t is easy for railway
managers, the operating o~tiiciala, to give
a mononnIy of the side.track and eleva.
tor privileges to whomsOever they wish,
pro.ecung such monopoly with secret
''rebates" in freight. 1t is also easy for
the railwav officials to act as silent part
ners in such grain buying enterprises and
draw large profits threfrom without
actual tfeachery TO the railway which
they serve. 1t is but natural that the
farmer who hauls his wheat thirty or
forty miles to another line of rails, only
TO find the same tribute of low price
levied upon him by the buyer there, is
anxious for railway control.
