Chicago Herald: II was very glad to
see the Herald call halt on the publica-
ton fany more Greedy Artic reports, y
said an army officer the other night at the
Palmer. DO you know the army is not
very proud of the record Greedy made in
the Arctic regions? True, he underwent
tremendous sulierings and perhaps Sc
but the whole army believes that under
almost any other army officer that party
could have escaped. The criminal blum
der of burning his boats for fuel when,
across an open channel twenty miles
wide, he had reasons to believe provis-
ions were stored, is quite enough to
stamp the man us unit for any great re-
sponsibility. But it is not that alone, 1t
may be Il delicate suhiectto refer to, but
cannihalism that followed has prciudlced
the army against every one in the cNpe-
dition. You may remember that
this feeling was strong enough
to defeat GreeIy's promotion to
a lieutenant colonelcy, and the ap-
pointmcnt of Brainerd, IL most excellent
man, by the way, as second lieutenant.
There is no objection to compromising
the expedition for its sutlcrings, but the
course that will nccessitate personal
aIiiliation with any of them. | was
down at Fort Reno in July, where most
of the Fifth cavalry is stationed, and the
hope was fscly expressed by the officers
there that for Greely's own sake he
would never be compelled TO again do
duty with his regiment. They do not
speak unkindly OF him They simply
man who has been through such dreadful
experiences, What officers of the Fifth
want Grcely to do is to go on the retired
list. No doubt his health is permanent
ly broken, and, between you and me, !!
believe the mans spirit is gone, and
much of his pride also. | bel leve, fur
ther," said the officer, ''if Gree y were to
seek majors commission on the retired
list he would meet with no opposition in
army circles. But there will always be
influence enough TO prevent his promo
ton on the active lst, and also, | think,
his return to his regiment.

English radical journals are publishing
with great deal of gusto statements of
the immense private fortune of Queen
Victoria and the economical methods she
uses in her establishment to increase the
amount which she will leave to her heirs
They point to the well known fact that
when the queen began her reign she
WAS worth all told less than hundred
thousand, while her private fortune is
to-day estimated ut Il round six million
pounds of which four millions are in per.
sonal property, such as bonds, consuls
and gilt edged foreign securities.
The English tax payer has only himself
to blame, Royal grants have continued
to be popular in England because they
ticklcd the national vanity in upholding
tho dignity of the monarchy.
Engllshmen who have been courageous
enough to protest have been sadly ostra.
cised for their independence. Tho most
scandalous feature of Victora's money
making schemes has been her steadily
pursued policy of grabbing for her
family all the profitable sinccurcs upon
which she could put her hands. There
are several hundred of these honorary
soft jobs to which the various princes and
sonSin.aw are attached, all of which
draw some sort of pay or salary AS u
result the royal family is said TO be one
of the richest in the world.
Still for all this, America possesses a
score of private fortunes which exceed
that of England's queen. Last week
three gentlemen in New York

estimated at hundred and

Dissatisfied with crook.

The people of Arizona are dissatisfied
with the poor success of the campaign
against the Apachcs and are Offering
many rewards for Indian scalps when
taken 10y others than those serving in the
regular army. They claim that Crooks
policy of Cancellation has proved itself a
failure and that the general in his desire
to be considered great Indian pacilier
is sacrificing the people of Arizona on
the altar of personal pride and ambition.

himself with bucks and ammunition.
A letter from II prominent Arizonian,
which we rcpublish in another
column, shows the bitterness of the feel.
ing which is spreading in the territory,
as the small results of the Apache cam
pain become more and more apparent.
1t is, doubtless, somewhat exaggerated,
but, unfortunately, just at present its ar
guments and statements seem to be rein
forced by others fully rs forcible from II
dozen different points IN the territory.
All tell substantially the same story.
OF course, it is neither fair nor just to
Judge of the vigor of the Indian cam
paigning by the results, especially in
rocky Arizona, where pursuit is so diff
cult and capture always problematcal.
The most severe criticisms of General
Crooks treatment of the Apache prob
lem, however, deal with the control of
Indians when captured and on the rescr-
vation. The people of Arizona, like all
inhabitants on an Indian frontier, be-
lieve that the only good Indian is dead
one.

1t is time for the board of education to
be taking up the question of evening
schools for the winter. Chicago's are
already open twenty-five in number, and
the number is to be increased before the
season closes.
Omaha should have Mt least three good
evening schools in her admirable school
system. Hundreds of girls, boys, and
young men who are forced to work for
their living during the day would gladly
take advantage of them to obtain the
rudmcnts of an education which they
could not secure otherwise. Let it be
known and thoroughly ADVERTISED that
the schools are open, that they are well
oliccred, and that all working people
will be welcome, and the attendance will
be large.
The failure of evening schools in otncr
cities has been due largely to bad man
agement and inconsidcratc arrange
ments. The hours have been so arranged
that attendance after days work has
been hardship. The schools should not
open until sufficient time has been al
lowed for supper and Il brief rest. They
should close in time to allow n good
nights rest for pupils who have to be at
their workshop, counter or desk early in
the morning. ~
Properly conducted, the evening
schools can be made Il most important
part of our free school system. A large
portion of the children who attend the
day schools could procure an education
elsewhere if no public schools existed
The class which will eagerly take advan
tagc of the evening schools is the very
one which most needs the benefits offered
by our free school system.

The Ohio election takes place on Tues
day Politicians Of all classes and com.
plcvions are rocking with perspiration
on the stump, and beating the tomtoms
in every village and hamlet. The papers
are filled with charges and counter.
charges of the contending candidates.
lIal~tcads letter, Foraker's brecchcs
Hoadlcy's war record, and John Shrr-
man S ambitions receive daily consldera
ton. Tho storm of wind which Is
beating upon the astonished voters of the
Buckeye state exceeds in sound and fury
amy of its predecessors. In noise and
intensity it seems to have no parallel
even In that battlc-scarrcd leader Of the
states holding October elections.
Those who claim to know, and who
ought to know, insist that the real bust
ness of the campaign is being done
quietly, and so far as is possible in
the darkness of committee rooms, far
from the noise of the brassy bands and
the glare Of the torches. Both sides pre-
tend to have knowledge of vast cxpendi-
lures of money by their opponents and of
impending eleventh hour attacks on
the character of candidates, which are to
be sprung with damaging effect on the
eve of the election. 1t is claimed that
Mclean has issued q secret circular,
which was hardly dry on the paper be.
fore thousands of others intended to block
its effect were rushed from the press by
the republican committeeman. In Clevc-
land the republican newspapers are re-
fusing to answer prohibition conundrums
in their columns because they believe the
questioners "aro working under the
direction of the democratic central com
mittcc." Dodging and fnessc are the
order of the day, combined with the
braying of brass bands and outside pyro-
technics, which seem to be producing no
marked effect on either side
The only real and all-porvading issue
is how to capture the prohibition vote,
and the democracy seem to be making
greater Roadway in this direction than
their opponents. A discouraging feature
of the situation to republicans is the
heavy falling off in the registration in
strong republican districts and Il corrc.

dams should not be returned to the
reservation, but General Crook was
stronger than the secretary of the interi'
or and the people and the Indians were
brought back to be fed and clothed and
made ready for 1880. 1t would be pre-
mature to write the history of the late
war, because it is not yet over; but when
it is written it will br the record OF an
other series OF Tragedies IN which dcvas'
tuted homes. dispmbowclrd men, women
with their breasts cut OF aud braincd
babies will fill many of the pages. Tho
same story of military incapacity must
be told.
With all the machinery which this
great government possesses in statute
books and arsrnals, it is not powerful
enough to reach this band of savage mur,
dcrcrs United States marshals and
county shcriilS have tried in vain. Crook
with tho wonderful magic of his power,
can negative them all. The Chiricahua
walks the reservation with unfcttered
limbs, his belt full of cartridges, and his
heart full of hell.

MiIIionaire NfnckcY.

The alleged purpose of Millionaire
Mackey to become candidate for the
United States senate from Nevada in
place of Millionaire Fair probably has no
other existence than that given it by II
fertile newspaper imagination. Mackey
is not ambitious Of political honors, and
the story that Mrs. Mackey desires to re-
peat in Washington her social triumphs
of Paris and London is even less worthy
of belief Mrs. Mackcy is not unmindful
of her humble origin and she knows that
there is no place on the earths surface
where sho would have this SO pcrsistcnty
thrown at her as in Washing gton, She
certainly cannot wish to be known as n
senator's wife for the mere social dis
tincton it would give her, for she al
ready moves in the very highest circles
short OF royalty known in European sOci.
ETY.. 1t is more than likely that Fair will
want to succeed himself in the senate,
and, if he does, he is not likely to cncoun-
ter opposition from anyone, much less
for the position TO pay for it Mackey may
help secure it for some republican friend,
but the idea that he will himself strive for
it is very unlikely. He already has his
hands full of schemes IN which he has in
vested heavily, and some of which it is
feared, are none too profitable. The i'm.
preston il quite general among Mr..
Mackey's friends that he had better new
er think of politics. He should, on the
other hand, devote more time and effort
to protect his immense fortune from the
parasites and harpies who are fattening
upon it, many OF whom, who, if Mr..
Mackey did but know it, would bear II
good deal of watching.

Thomas G.. Durant died on Monday in
little village in New York state near
Saratoga Springs. To the generation
which has settled in Omaha since the
completion of the Union Pacific railway
the bare announcement will carry little
interest. Old settlers and those sturdy
pioneers who fought in and for Omaha
in the days of depression before the in
ception of the great transcontnental
line, will recall with various emotions
the checkered life of the former presi-
dent of the Union Pacific. His residence
in Omaha during the building OF his
road is remembered by many of our citi-
zens. With millions of dollars at his
disposal, he counted his friends by the
thousands. He made and unmadc men
who have since become prominent
in Union Pacific councils or who have
sunk rs completely out of sight us he
himself. He throw his money abroad
with lavish hand and laid in others the
foundations for fortunes which he found
himself unable to construct and pcrpetu-
ate for himself For several years the
best known and most eagerly sought-af-
ter railway king in the country, he sank
completely out of sight after the compile
ton of tho Union Pacific and for ten
years past only an occasional mention of
his name in the public press has kept
alive the fading memory of his achieve
ments, It's u most significant common
tary on the ficklcness of public favor and
the instability of fame, that
Mr.. Durant's death was not con-
sidcred of enough Importance
for telegraphic notice III the reports of
the associated press. The man who more
than any other one man made possible

route, who paid for the service of geol-
oglst TO determine the great mineral re-
sources of the country, and for years

THE Farmers Rcrjcp, of Chicago,
stands by its assertion that the corn crop
this year VIII amount to nearly two bill.
lion bushels 1t has obtained reports
from /, 400 correspondents, representing
every county of the ten states which pro
ducGd about 20 per cent of the entire corn
crop of last year. These correspondents
give the area and condition of corn in
their sections, and from the figures thus
obtained the total yield in the ten great
corn states is estimated ut 1860 0O)
bushels, against the psi 900 900 bushcl =
reported last year by the agricultural
bureau ut Washington. If the yield of
the rest of the country is reclloncd
mt the official figure of last year, the to tai
crop becomes 1873, ,0O0,0OO bushels, and it
is almost certain that the crop is larger
than that of 1891 in nearly every state
Of course such crop estimates are uncer-
tain but there is every reason to believe
that the total corn crop in the United
States will not fall far short of two bill

Watcher it comes or not, it is advisable
to be prepared for it. This will apply to

Two BARRIERS of Mattoon, Illinois, have
got into Il little scrape by refusing to

civil damages, Il penalty for violation of
