State House Jottiups,


Thirty-six patients were sent TO the hos.
pital for the incurable insane ut Hastings
from tho Lincoln asylum to-day. The board
OF public lands and buildings made the nee
essary order last week. They were accom-
panied by seven attendants.
Governor 1hayer to-day made the follow

Attorney General Leese and Treasurer nill
leave tomorrow for Hastings and Kearney,
TO visit the hospital for the incurable insane

has had the desired effect In the move. IL is
said, however, that action on the bond of one

United States, and IL will take the
form of q demand for substituting steam
ship lines. 1t is possible by q policy Of
this kind to create a merchant marine
which might successfully compete with
that OF England, but it would require
subsidies which the government
could not afford and the people
would not tolerate. There must
be some other way found to
solve the problem Of how to create
an American merchant marine equal to
the demands Of our foreign commerce.
1t is not to be doubted that there is an
abundance Of capital ready to be in
vested in this way If it should be re-
lieved Of the restrictions and unfavor-
able conditions which the existing laws
impose. No subsidy which the Ameri-
can people would permit would be sufi-
cient to establish and sustain a mer-
chant marine able to compete with the
steamers Of which England already has
more than her own trade requires, and
so long as this policy has such a support
that no other ono can be adopted,
American commerce with other o nj :
tries must continue to depend very
largely upon the transportation facili-
ties'of our most formidable commercial
rival,

DEBATING

When a criminal case is pending in
court custom as we'll as law require that
nobody shall exert improper influence
upon the jury. What applies to trials
before civil courts, will apply with equal
force to trials pending before military
courts. 1t is eminently proper for the
press to report the proceedings OF any
trial but it is of very questionable pro-
priety for any editor to discuss the mer-
it's of a case before a verdict has been
rendered. Any comment is necessarily
an effort to influence the decision which
should be based entirely on the law and
the evidence, regardless of all popular
clamor.
This undue interference has re-
Gently become a feature of some
of our local contemporaries. One of
the glaring instances is furnished in
the comments made upon the Sake
Swetnam case, and another Is afforded
in the pending trial of Colonel Fletcher
at Fort Omaha Such n course does not
promote justice and is entirely outside
of the legitimate province of journal
ism. 1t is not the business of the news
paper to usurp the functions OF the jul
dietary.

LINCOLN COUNTY POLITICS.
The Republicans Will Have Lively
Times Choosing Candid ates.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb., August 12.-ISpecial
to The BEE. Signs are not wanting to show
that there will be lively times inside the re-
publican party from now on up to the close
of the nominating convention, which will
doubtless be held some time in September.
Until recently the general sentiment among
republicans favored the denomination of all
the county officers, but the declination of
County Clerk Evans, who goes into the new
North Platte National bank as cashier, opens
up possibilities for any number of candidates
for Office, and it Is already an assured fact
that there will be a scram BILE, not only for
the Office which he vacates, but for all the
county offices. G. p. Dick, Mr.. Evans
efficient deputy, has the inside track. from
having served two years in the office, aud
will go into the convention with a good
backing, though personally not so popular
as b. Buchanan, the genial clerk in the
treasurer's office, who has modestly an
nounced himself as a candidate. DIR. War
ner will also shy his castor into the ring, and
it Is said that Charley Stamp will also enter
the lists. The friends of William Nation of
Wallace will enter HIM for the race. The
announcement in the Herald q couple OF
candidate was a little previous. He was
urged by his friends TO allow them to use
his name, but positively declined.
There is a general disposition among the
Republicans OF uHc county 10 give u. II. U.s.
good another term as treasurer, and IL is
probable that he will be nominated by accla-
nation. Mr.. James Bolton has proclaimed
to the citizens of the county that he will be
an Independent candidate for treasurer next
November. The independent party in Lin
coin county consists Of three men, Wash
Human, l.. Stcbblns and James Bolton, and
1t is generally split up into three factions.
IS the party is not united, the democrats
have finally concluded TO make a separate
nomination for treasurer, and are looking
around for a popular candidate, hoping TO
slip in between Osgood and Bolton.
For sheriff there are three candidates
| mentioned-D. w. Baker, the present in
cumbent; j. Hawley and H.. A. Koken. The
three were pitted against each other two
years ago and 1T took a good many ballots to
decide the matter.
There will be two candidates for county
Judge. Attorney James M. Ray will make a
strong effort to GUST Judge O'Rourke, who
strongly objects to being ousted.
Major Walker hopes TO succeed himself as
county commissioner, but there is a horse in
| training in the northeastern part OF the
county that will land a sure winner next No
vember.
There is a dark horse now training for
| county superintendent, the place now occu-
pied by Mr.. Langford, and one that wall put
Mr.. l.. on. his metal.

The coroner can gain nothing
in the way Of political influence from
the relatives OF a corpse, who are us
ually in moderate circumstances, or may
not even reside in Omaha. The manag-
ers OF railroads always do take an in
terest in the coroner, and naturally the
c%oroner's %juries are made up OF men
who are not %unfriendly to them.
This is q plain matter OF fact, stated
without malice toward our popular cor
oner. he will nave to admit himself
that his coroneS's inquests have been
a farce ~wheneper the accident happened
on a railroad track. The verdict has
always been Nobody to blame" or
'Came to his or her death by their own
carelessness."
In the interest OF a common humanity
end for the protection of the public
from the negligence OF railway mana
gers, we would suggest that c%oroner's
j%uries be picked from q class Of people
who will make an inquest something
more than n mere sham, and at least oc-
casionally find somebody to blame when
the life is crushed out of human beings
on our streets.

Bounty on Wolf Scalps.

Washington county pays n bounty on wolf
scalps. Auditor Benton was made aware of
the fact to-day by receiving a peculiar letter
from the county clerk of that county. 1t
appears that the county attorney Of Wash
ington county has advised that the county
can secure the 81 bounty offered by the state
under section "a, chapter 4, Of the compiled
statutes. This, however, is not the case.
The section cited simply provides that every
county of the state Is entitled to a bounty Of
81 on making proper pools. But this Ii for
the individual and not the county. 1t seems
that in counties that offer a bounty for wolf
scalps, the holder Is entitled to a double
wolf was killed and the other from the state.
A county can not profit on any wolf scalps 1t
may possess ut the expense OF the state, at
least 1t is so stated by the attorney general
and other state officers.

NEW YORK continues to borrow
money at as low q rate Of interest as
three per cent. Recently a loan of a
million and a half to run thirty years
was placed, ana the bidding of lenders
was so active that q premium ranging
up to two and five-tenths per cent was
bid. The low rate of interest at which
New York city is able to negotiate its
loans shows that there is a large amount
OF capital seeking longtime and safe in
vestment at a merely nominal rate of
interest. This is due to an increasing
scarcity of suitable securities such as
government bonds, and as these are
being redeemed in large blocks, mill
ionSof dollars are thrown upon the
money market for re-investment. Mu-
nicipal securities are now considered
equally as safe for investment, es-
pecially those of great commercial
centers and of growing, prosperous
cities of the west. There is every
reason to believe that within a short
time cities like Omaha, st. Paul,
Kansas City and Minneapolis will be
able to borrow money at from four and
oue-half to five per cent. AS it is,
their six per cents bring q high prem
ium and clearly indicate the confidence
of investors in these certificates.
