WILL HIEE 10 IL KIIr.

Idaho is not likely to be elevated into
statehood by the next congress. She
has her constitution ready for presenta-
tion as soon as congress assemblies,
framed on lines that would perhaps
make it acceptable, but something more
is necessary to the creation OF state
than institution republican in form.
The other conditions are wanting in
Idaho.
The estimated population Of the ter
ritory is one hundred thous and, but it is
probable the census will show it to be
considerably less than this. Should it
be shown to be fully that number, how
ever, the development of the territory
is not yet such as to warrant making it
a state, and probably will not be for
some years to come. A very consider
able portion of Idaho can be made valu-
able only by irrigation, which has been
to some extent applied there with good
results. She will be more likely to get
the needed irrigation as territory than
as state. AS to her mineral resources,
they are undoubtedly extensive. The
mines are rich and profitable, and with
the resources of the territory developed
Idaho undoubtedly has a future of as
sured prosperity. But progress in de-
velopment has been slow, and it is by
no means certain that it would be
greatly accelerated by statehood. AT
any rate, her lands must be rendered
available for agriculture before the ter
ritory can grow rapidly in population.
and this must be a work of years.
Idaho has a considerable Mormon
population, and these people the con-
stitution proposes to disfranchise.
Very likely this would not prove to be
serious objection to the instrument
in the opinion of a majority of congress,
but it will cause an oppositi ton to the
admission Of idaho as state that will
not fail to make itself felt. The sub
stantlal and sufficient ground for re-
fusing statehood, however, will be-
found in the inadequacy of population
aud OF material development.

has ever been cast upon the loyalty OF
his race. Negroes are among the best
soldiers Of the regular army to-day, and
they are in the military and naval
schools OF the nation, as well as in its
civil service. Everywhere they are
faithful to the duty devolved on them.
The recognition they have thus gained
they will retain, and the narrow and
contemplate prejudice OF such
men as Kellogg will rather tend to in
crease than diminish it.
AS to the insolent and insubordi-
nate ex-commander OF the ossipee, it is
to be hoped way will be found to ex-
tend the unenviable notoriety he has
gained by making such an example of
him as will deter any others OF his ilk
who may be in the service of tn nation
from initiating his conduct. If there is
q way Secretary Tracy will un doubtedly
find IT.

ONE OF THE OLD REGIME.

Captain Kellogg, late commander of
the government steamer Ossipee, who
refused to convey Minister Fred
Douglass to Hayti, is representative
of that old class of ''nigger" haters of
whom it is to be hoped there are no
more in the service of the nation.
Kellogg professed that his officers did
not wish to associate with a colored
man and he himself declined to mess
with the "nigger." He was relieved
at his own request of his COM
of the navy does his duty
this prejudiced and narrow-minded sur
vivor of the old regime will continue
without command, at least while the
present administration is in power.
1t need not be said to any one having
any knowledge OF Fred Douglass that in
character and Intelligence he is more
than the peer of Kellogg. No one be-
yond his circle of personal acquaint
ances ever before heard of Kellogg,
while the fame of Douglass is world
wide. In every enlightened Land he
is known as one OF the ablest
and greatest leaders OF his race. He has
filed important public positions with
notable credit. AS marshal of the Dis
trict of Columbia he performed the
highest social duties at the white house.
He was received abroad with distin-
guished consideration. His appoint
ment as minister to Hayti was regarded
as one of the most judicious made by
the administration. His personal char
acter is without reproach, and
his uniform conduct is that of gen.
tleman. Captain Kellogg would have
been honored by association with Fred
Douglass,
A great deal is suggested by this in
cident, but it is perhaps sufficient TO
say that the day is passed for allowing
prejudice of the kind exhibited by
Kellogg to go unrebuked. Fellows,
such as he, deserve and should receive
| nothing better than the contempt OF in
telligent and fair-minded men. He
belongs to a class once powerful and
not yet extinct, but never again TO
enjoy the ascendaucy ana power it once
had. The colored man Is citizen,
having equal rights with every other
citizen, and he will always remain
such. He won his right TO citizenship
by faithful service as a soldier in de-
fense OF the government, and no doubt

OMAHA, Sept 2S.-To the Editor of The

and am republican. / should like to give
my views on the pension question. would
like to see every old soldier VINO was injured
or wounded during the war and is unable to
work, and cannot make q living, receive a
pension of at least $50 a month. The great
mistake at present is that fully 60 per cent
of those who receive pensions now are not
entitled to them. Let The pension list be
published in Omaha and you will be aston
ished to see who are now receiving pensions.
know many comrades who are crippled and
who only receive from 81 to IS per month.
This is wrong Do away with fraud and pay
the ones who deserve the pensions. Many
receive pensions on account of rheumatism,
and other ailments that are temporary.
Every man, from forty to sixty years of age,
whether he served in the army or not, is
subject to similar complaints, and thou
sands are drawing pensions for such.
Most of these pensioners, If re-
examined, would save the government mil
lions of dollars.
would be in favor of giving every soldier
land warrant instead of the present home
stead law, which compels soldier to live on
claim one year. 1t would then give poor
man with family chance to get piece of
good land, such as Is now given to railroads
and other corporations for nothing. / would
make the land warrant non-transferable,
and the title TO become good five years after
the warrant had been issued, or after the
land had been located by the holder of the
warrant. This would keep it out of the
hands OF spectators, and would give ample
time for the holder to earn enough money to
work the farm. JOHN +. BEHM.

1929 Il STREET,
LINCOLN, Neb., Sept 20. !
Governor Thayer's attention was called to
the action of the bar of the Third judicial
district at Omaha, yesterday, by the repre-
sentative of THE BEE, and in reply to the
question, "Wili you appoint Joseph r. Clark
son TO fill whatever there may be of Judge
Groff's unexpired terml" he said:
81 decline to say anything on that sub
ject'
"But THE BEE says that the members of
the bar went into the meeting with the uu-
derstanding that the choice of the fraternity
would be appointed by you to fill the unex-
pired term. Have you given any such as
surancel"
~ have never given such q hint TO any
body. The judiciary of the Third judicial
district has been composed of two repub-
licans and two democrats. Judge Croft, a
republican,, having resigned, there is a va
cancy to be filed. 1t is entirely appropriate
and right that the vacancy should be filed
by republican. / therefore expect the re-
publlcans of the district to nominate and
elect member of the republican party to be
judge. 1 trust he will not be mugwump,
or one who sometimes votes for democratic
candidate for the presidency or for a demo-
cratic candidate for governor. | am for re-
puolcans who have straight republican
record. In my judgment the people of the
district have as much interest, and have as
much at stake in the selection of Judges as
the lawyers do.'

THE RAttRoAns nv pOLr1tCs


The fine Italian hand OF the railroad
political dispatcher is conspicuous in
the Second. congressional district at the
present tme. Though cunningly
gloved it is visible everywhere, press
ing the palms and pattinR the backs OF
local candidates and delegates. Politi-
cal tools whose influence is always for
sale TO the highest bidder, or whose
bread aud butter depends on the favor
OF the corporations, have made their
pilgrimage to Lincoln for com mmissary
supplies and marching orders. A score
OF these mercenaries are ransacking
every nook in the district. When they
cannot enlist the multitude for the mo-
nopoly favorite, they boldly announce
themselves as candidates for congress,
hoping through friendship or chicanery
to secure n share OF the delegates to de-
liver to Laws.
The desperate efforts OF the railroad
bosses to force Laws on the voters of the
Sc cond district should be vigorously
scented by every citizen. The lesson
OF recent contests is warning which
the corporations would do well to heed.
Maiorities are not TO be depended on
when odious candidates are forced upon
the voters, as the records of the district
distinctly show. Such action in the
past disorganized and all but wrecked
the republican party in that section,
and repetition will ALLEVIATE hun dreds
if not thousands of voters who are de-
termined to secure an honest, untram-
meled representative to work for the
best interests of the whole state.
The voters of the Second district can
not be trifled with. They know their
rights and are thoroughly cort1--nt to
maintain thom. Mercenary diA.ation in
the management of their political al
fairs will not be tolerated. They can
not be gulled with false pretenses, nor
ambushed by hired strikers. They are
alive to the Importance of the issues at
stake, and the sooner Laws and his
masked supporters realize this fact the
better it will be for his mental peace
ana the corporation treasures.

Hints for Fruit Growers.

" bItttHJ JOI Inc Dtts
The present season has been a disas-
trous one as far as profits are concerned,
to the fruit grower. The crop Of small
fruits was much larger than ordinary,
but when expenses of picking and
marketing were taken out little or
nothing was left to the grower. The
main cause of all this is the want
of the proper distribution of tho fruit.
1t passes through TOO many hands be-
fore it caches the consumer. In other
words the producer and consumer are
too far apart, and the many hands
through which 1t passes before the
consumer is reached eats all the profit
and takes so much time that the fruit
is so stale as to be nearly worthless at
the point Of consumption.
The growers should canvass the
larger towns and cities, and sell direct
to the RI taller, get at once as near the
consumer as possible, who would then
receive the fruit much earlier and IN
an excellent. fresh condition. The pres
ent condition OF the matter stands like
this: The grower pays from II to 2
cents per quart for picking. The rail
road takes | cent or more il the car
rage is ut all lengthy. The carter II
cents or so, the commission for selling
a cent or two, use Of crates cent, all
must be taken from the proceeds before
the grower realizes anything. The
market is SO glutted, ali send
ing to the wholesale dealer, that
the price often falls below q cents per
quart, and below the expenses OF ship
ping. In the consumers standpoint it
stands this way: q cents to wholesale
dealer, 2 cents for delivery to retailer, A
cents for reselling to consumer or
II cents cost to those who use them,
and still nothing to the producer.
There is no need hat this be permitted,
The grower should make an effort to
reach the consumer more easily. Let
them establish routes the same as milk
routes in all the large cities. Sales wall
largely increase. Many who can not
afford it now will have them brought to
them in easy reach. The grower will
have an increased outlet for fruit and a
respectable balance would be placed TO
his credit.

Dee,es THE NEGRO HAreRs.
The Atlanta "Constitution's" Respect
60 the Bulidozers' Meeting.


60 the Buiidozers' Meeting.
Atlanta Constitution, September 81:
The personal aspects of the meeting of
Wednesday night do not concern us in
the least. We believe we received
more letters yesterday approving our
course than votes were cast condemning
it. Every journolist who does his duty
must expect to be the subject of adverse
RESOLUTIONS" once In while. We are
glad that our first experience of this
kind comes from protesting against the
dragging OF helpless negroes from their
beds and lashing them with lawless
and merciless hands.
Let us look at this East Point OUT
rage moment. A,negro boy had been
lynched for brutal assault on
white girl After the excitement was
over, when not u negro WAS TO be seen
in East Point, a number of men went
through the woods, breaking in tho
doors of negro cabins, dragging un-
armed negroes from theic beds and
stripping them and whipping them.
This was an outrage-wanton, because
there was neither necessity nor excuse
for it-lawless, because there is no law
for it-worse, because ii was visited
on helpless and defenseless mona
wrong against Georgia, for il stained
her fair name--and against the people
of the south, because it affects the gen
eral estimate of southern character.
We denounced it promptly, and wo de-
nounce it again and deliberately. The
officers of the law should never rest
until they have brought the perpetra-
tors to conviction and punishment.
Perhaps there never was time in
the worlds history when such an out
rage might bring wider or more appall-
ing results. The two races of our sec
tion are in strained relations. The
most irresponsible member of either
race may become the hinge on which
both races will wheel into opposing fac
tions. A single blow struck In rage or
drunkenness may lead TO thou
sand that fall in deliberation. A white
man may whip negro. The negro may
retaliate by another outrage. The
friends of both may become involved.
Instantly race antipathies may be de-
veloped. Forgetting the justice or in
justice OF the original cause, its trifing
and purely personal character, whole
community may become involved.
Right now, more than ever, we should
build up public sentiment that will
make such outrages rare aud exceptions
al, If not impossible-a sentiment that
will punish those who. thoughtlessly or
viciously, cndanger the public peace
and general welfare.
We are confident that eight -tenths of
the people of Atlanta approve our
course and disapprove the temper of
those resolutions. But were this prop
osition reversed. we should not hesitate
or waver in the course we have marked
out as the wise, and right, and just
course. AS to that meeting. we are glad
that it was called. Though the purpose
miscarriod, its proceedings are not
without lesson that will impress itself
on the people of this community, OF this
section, and of this republic.

Between l and'2 o'clock this morning the
people in the vicinity of Ninth and O streets
were ST rtled by naniac-like screams coming
from second-story window of the old Jour
nal block. Officer Kinney and others ran
up the stairway, and In little room at the
right from the head of the stairs they found
a woman and terrified little girl OF about
ten or twelve summers. The woman is
known by the name of frankie Wright, and
the little glri is her daughter. She is vic
tim of the morphine habit, and last night was
out of the drug, and consequently not sup
ported by it's influence. Her screams were
frightful. DIR. Hart was sent for, and, after
administering hyperdermic Injection Of
morphine, she grew easier. Whether she had
any further attendance than this little girl
during the night is not known. But this
morning, as the effects of the drug passed off
she again grew nervous, but she managed 10
reach a physician in time to prevent another
outbreak. The rooms occupied by her are
only furnished with the barest necessities of
life, and the bed is wretched affair. The
woman has been in the city some two years
and when she came had some 500 or $500,
with which she started a restaurant on South
Ninth street But the morphine habit grew
upon her, and this with her associations
gradually engrOssed her attention TO the ex-
clusion Of her business, and to-day she IS a
mental, moral and physical wreck. Whlle
her case is one calculated TO call forth sym
pathy, that OF her little daughter demands
attention at the hands of the philanthropic
people of this city. She Is bright, active
little creature, and might grow up TO useiul
womanhood II the proper forces were exeIted
in her behalf. But as ii Is, and without out
side influences nothing but life OF shame
and degradation stares her in the face Let
the Humane society act at once.
