have all followed in the wake OF disaster.
And now Commodore @. X. Garrison,
the great railroad king, brings up the
rear. He was supposed to be impregna'
BILE, and the first rumors OF his financial
embarrassment we're Indignantly denied
He, too, has failed for millions, and his
failure involves the same old story of the
shrinkage Of values in railroad stocks.
And still another large failure, that Of
Morgan & Sons, is reported from New
York, and attributed to the same cause.
Throughout all these disasters Jay Goul1
has held his head above water, but there
is no doubt that he is a heavy loser with
all the rest. 1t is estimated that he has
lost fully $25, DOC, 900, or one half of his
ill.gotten wealth. Should the depression
continue it would surprise no one to see
him, too, throw up the sponge.
The rumor that Central Pacific Hunt
ingtonis financially embarrassed, although
denied, as was the rumor concerning Gar
rison, may after all prove true. 1t can
not be denied, however, that Huntington
is a big loser, along with Jay Gould and
other railway kings. Huntington is the
chief manipulation OF the Chesapeake g
Ohio, whose bonds have within a week
dropped from 1 05 to rs, the tendency
being still downward. Evidently we
have not seen the end of failures among
the inlationists and public plunderers.

THE city council will sit as a board oil
equalization on Friday, and asusual it will
prove nothing more than a farce. Boardsof
equalization, from the state board to the
town board, are nothing but boards Of
discrimination instead Of equalization.
The board of equalization simply ratiiea
the work of the assesaors, who, either
owing to negligence or laziness or q de-
sire to make friends, have made returns
entirely out of proportion to the value Of
the property, and which in ne way repre-
sent the increase in values OF the im
provements that have been made in thil
city during the last five years.

THE approaching court martial of Judge
Advocate General Swain is evidently
weighing very heavily upon the mind of
that officer, and it is now rumored that
he is exhibiting signs of insanity. 1t is
quito likely that General Augur, who was
once located at Omaha as commander of
the department of the Platte, will be APP
pointed the presiding officer of the court
martial. This rumor has brought out
some queer stories that are told about
General Augur in army circles. One is
that while commanding the department
of Texas he invariably disapproved any
recommendation for ~clemency, and ap.
proved every sentence by court martial
Diminishing officers who were higher in
rank than members of his own family In
the army. He gave up the command of
the Texas department to accept the pres
idency Of the board appointed to examine
cavalry officers for retirement, which was
in session for SO long a time at Fort
Leavenworth. That department is the
largest and most important in
the United States, and has
the bulk of the cavalry
arm within its limit. There, it is alleged,
his actions caused much surprise aud
comment. He has two sons in the cav
airy service, and since his inoumbency as
president Of the cavalry retiring board an
unusual number of cavalry officers have
been dismissed or retired. Objection to
Augur sitting in the Swain and Morrow
cases is made on this account. The ar
gument is that no officer whose family
would be benefited by a dismissal of the
accused should be appointed on the
board. 1t is a fact hat about $50 fami-
lies now control a large majority of the
1900 commissioned positions in the regu-
lar army.

REMOVING A CAUSE OF DESER-
TON.

1t has long been the custom In the reg
ular army to employ the priyates | n vari-
GUS kinds of labor without giving them
any extra compensation. This treatment
has been one of the principal causes OF
the wholesale desertion that has prevailed
for several years. Recently an order
was forwarded TO a frontier post to have
enlisted men cut four hundred cords of
wood during the present summer and
within two weeks from the receipt Of the
order at the post thirty.fve men deserted.
Officers of the army have always depre-
Gated this policy of forcing soldiers
to perform labor not contemplated
BY the terms of their enlistment,
but the imposition has been necessary be-
cause congress has uniformly refused for
several years past to make appropriations
for furnishing proper supplies. 1t is
now proposed to ameliorate the condi-
ton of the private soldier and endeavor
to remove the main cause of desertion,
The senate has inserted a clause in the
army appropriation bill providing that
enlisted men detailed for extra duty as
mechanics, clerks, laborers or Transfers
shall be paid for such duty at the rate of
80 cents per day for mechanics, clerks
and school teachers, and 80 cents per
day for laborers and teamsters. This
pay is in addition to pay as proper SOL
diers. The senate amendment appropri-
ates $3.50, 900 to pay for such extra work
in the future, and if it is retained in the
bill there will be less desertion hereafter
from the ranks of the army.

IOO MUCH WATER.

One by n the millionaires are going
to the wall, and those who are yet consid-
cred solvent have had their wealth enor-
mously reducedby the shrinkage in the val
ues ofstock. Asa rule the millionaires who
have failed are the ones who have for
years been engaged in initiating values by
injecting water into stocks. Now that
the water is being squeezed out of the
sponge they are suffering the natural
consequence of their own acts.
The first notable failure among the
the great inaaters was that of Henry
Willard, who begun life with nothing
and failed for millions, but not without
securing a ''poor mans competency" for
the rest Of his days. His failure natur.
ally involved others, who followed In his
wake in the course of time. The list is a
long one and includes not only railroad
kings but bankers and brokers who have
dabbled in railroad stocks instead OF at.

INDICTMENT AND IlfPEACH-
MENI.

The position which the suspended
mayor now occupies with relation to the
courts and city council does not seem to
be generally understood by the public.
The indictment by the grand jury and
the impending trial in the district court
are proceedings entirely outside of the ju-
risdict'on of the city council. As the
mayor Of Omaha, Colonel Chase is at the
same time q citizen subject to the penal
ties imposed by the criminnl code. The
Indictment against him relates to his
conduct as an officer, but had he been a
private individual the same charge might
have been preferred, so far as 1t relates
to his being an accomplice with the Grim
inal classes or levying blackmail upon
them.
Judge Neville for technical reasons may
set aside the indictment, or he may grant
an extention of time, or when the case is
put upon trial the jury may disagree or
even aequit Champion S. Chase of the
charge of bribery. But all this has no
relation whatever to the impeachment of
the mayor by the city council. The inn
parchment is an accusation brought
against an officer who is either grossly
negligent in the discharge of his duties
or whose conduct units him for the pub
lie trust. The object of impeachment is
the removal of bad or incompetent officer
and the authority of the court of impeach-
ment cannot go beyond iisplacing him
from office. The courts are charged with
imposing penalties for crime.
In the case of Mayor Chase the charges
preferred by the city council are drunk
enness, mental disability and corruption.
If the charge of drunkenness is establish
cd the removal of the mayor will follow
as a natural consequence, whether he is
convicted or acquitted of the charge of
bribery in the courts. If the charge of
drunkenness is not established, and it
can be shown by competent witnesses
that he is mentally unfit to discharge the
duties of his Office there will be sufficient
cause for his removal.
The idea that the mayor will resume
his Office in case the indictment is dis
missed, or he is acquitted on the charge
of bribery is simply preposterous.
The council has simply neglected to
take action heretofore in regard to the
bad habits and mental disability of the
mayor. Public opinion and the indict-
ment by the grand jury have compelled
the council to begin proceedings for his
removal. The outcome will depend en-
tirely upon the ability of the council to
establish any one of the charges which
1t has preferred against him.

NONPARTXSAN DLSPA TCHES.

TISAN DLSPA TCHES.
GRAVE charges are preferred against
THE BEE by the self-constituted boss who
happens at this time to edit the Repub-
lican. We are accused of opposing
Blaine and Logan by the publication of
dispatches convening reports Of bolters'
meetings and unfavorable comments by
leading papers and men. Our special
dispatches are said to be identical with
those telegraphed to the Chicago Times,
an independent paper, with democratic
a~ntecedents, which is opposing Blaine
and Logan. The headlines, wei our tel
egraphic dispatches, are also objected to
as disloyal to the republican candidates.
First of all the BEE Is a newspaper in
the fullest sense of the word We do
not propose to garble our dispatches or to
suppress facts telegraphed to the press
even if they are not in accord with our
political views. Among the $1,000 regu.
lar subscribers to the dailyand weekly BEE
there are people of all shades of political
opinion. There are stalwart republicans,
bourbon democrats, independents, green.
hackers, monopolists, anti-monopolists,
prohibitionists, and free drinkers and
free thinkers. Our aim is to keep these
people, and the thousands of others who
incidentally read The BEE on public
highways and in public houses, fully in
formed about every political event,
whether it occurs nj home or abroad.
But even if all the subscribers to THE BEE
were republicans, and had been from the
outset for Blaine and Logan, we should
still regard it as decidedly improper to
publish only what is favorable to their
candidates, and keep them in
ignorance about the Opposition, from
within and without, by suppressing all
~unfavorable reports in the content is of
the dispatch.
Right here let us say that our special
dispatches are made up at Chicago, not
from dispatches received by the Times
but from every medium which conveys
interesting facts not embodied in the as
ISOLATED press dispatches. Our reporter
at Chicago is a republican, but he is in no
way hampered by instructions from this
Office as to the political complexion of the
matter telegraphed by him. Our head
line writers may occasionally indulge in
sensation, and sarcasm, but as
a rule they are expected TO
make tho headlines correspond
with the contents of the dispatches.
1t is true that we have not seen fit 10
denounce and blackguard George William
Curtis, Henry Ward Beecher, Carl Schurz
Andrew ID. White, president of Cornell
College, Prof. Eliot, president of Har-
ward university and other Independent
kickers who refuse to support Blaine and
Logan for reasons which may be frivolous
but which appear to be satisfactory to
themselves. We don't believe that votes
can be made for Blaine and Logan by a
mud-slinging campaign, and above all as a
republican journal We have always been
opposed to gag-laws and coercive politics.

in the Black canyon. The river In this
%stupendou. gorge is described as q boom
ing, "%seetning rush of water, and the
tracks, for miles at a time, are under
water. In some places, for a distance of
several hundred yards, the track ard
grades are entirely missing, and the
presents the same appearance it did be.
fore the building of the road through it.
A gentleman just arrived at Denver in
forms the Republican that the damage
there is far greater than has been pub
lished. Trains not running this week,
he came through the canyon OF foot, and
he says he would not venture the tr p
again for a large Bum of money. The
water came rushing through the canon in
deafening torrents, the volume of which
can scarcely be imagined. He and his
party picked their way along the precip-
itous sides of the canyon, around the
places where the tracks were washed out,
and at times waded wei knee-deep in
water which covered the track. In some
places the roadbed was completely wash
ed away, leaving only the rails and scat
tering ties to span the chasm. West of
Montrose the line has been considerably
damaged. One span of the bridge over
Greene river was washed out. This is
the largest bridge on the line, and is a
serious loss. The management is doing
all in its power to repair these inroads,
but the work will take weeks of time to
complete.
