AE.APGLOGY.

An article which appeared in our issue of June 7th during our aL- sence in Prescott, which we very much regret, as it reflected on the character of well known mining well known mining man, Capt. Bur bridge in his connection as Sup't' oi the Grand Prize Mine. Said article purported to have been written by a Tonto Basin corresponednt. We We have 10 correspondent there. The article was writt5a by J. ?. Doane the fiscal agent of the Grand Prize Mining O., while in Flagstaff ipserted by his request, as it would appear for personal spites. On in quiry we.ascertaIn that there is no foundation for the charges made by him, and that the troubles at tie mine was between himself and the owners who declined to permit the company further Privligos e devel- veloping unless Mr. Doane was re- called and the work proceed under the sole management of the Sup't.- We do net permit the columns of the CHARLTON to be used fnr such an unwarrantable and malicious attack. and had we been at home Mir. Doane's communication would have ,bten speedily consisnsd to our waste basket. We caution contem- poraries against copying sad article and if they have done so, earnestly request them to insert this apology in justice to Capt. Burbridse who has already done much for our terr itory and to whom we may look for further aid in developing our mines. 10 his energy and ability our best citizens will testify and he is known to be man whose word is his bond. He has our best wishes for furture success.

This mans calf has five legs and two heads; it is a month and a half old and bids fair to grow tc maturity. SoKHHebody start up and discount this Story with a bigger one. Seriously speaking, monstros- ities in animals should be destroyed; unless, indeed, they are intended for menageries or dime museums. It is mistake to allow them to run loose on a ranch or farm.

AN OMAHA RE VELdTOR.

This is an era of messiahs, saviours
revelators and doom-sealers. Over il
Illinois new Christ has risen in the
person of Schweinfurth; in Cali
fornia several John Baptists have
preached repentance and the approach OF
the end of all things.
Not to be outdone, Omaha comes to the
front with sage, seer and revelator in
the person of General Test Our inspired
fellow-citizen has pondered over the old
testament, wept with Jeremiah and sym
pathized with job. To his prophetic
vision the depression under which all the
world has been groaning, grumbling
and growing ever since 1873 was pre-
dicted in the last chapter of the Book OF
Daniel, which foretells the scarcity OF
money and IL plague of cranlls.
In that same woebegotten chapter
General Test divines the restoration OF
the Jews to their ancient kingdom in
Palestine, Through the instrumentality
of Grand Duke Michael, now in com
mand of that section of the Russian en-
pire where the Jews are now mostly con-
gregated.'
This will be revelation to the Jews.
Most of these ''chosen people" couldn't
be induced to go to Palestine if they
were offered four corner lots apiece on
the main street of the City of Jerusalem.
They could not be driven there, except
vt the point of the bayonet. But we
presume the prophesies of Daniel, rs
interpreted by the Omaha seer, will
have to be fulfilled. We shall presently
witness tho conquest of Constantinople
and the seas of Marmora and Azof will
turn carmine with Moslem gore. The
lost tribes of Israel, which are supposed
to have been the forefathers of the
American Indian, are already on the
ground under Buffalo Bill, and the rem
nant of the Pawnees, the Cheyennes,
Choctaws and Omahas will soon join
their brethren in the far off Orient clad
in paint and feathers, and, highly per-
fumed with bear-grease,
But before this all comes about, in the
fullness Of time, Columbia, the gem of
the ocean, must start all her mints to
coin the silver spoons and plato of the
Jew and gentle into silver dollars free
of charge, so that the Lord may prosper
our farmers; that their corn may sell at
dollar busnel on the cob, t. o. b., and
wealth shall pour into their Golfers from
the four corners of the earth.
When all these things have come to
pass in the very near future the Omaha
real estate exchange will bo jammed
with boomers and thousands will pawn
their wages ten years ahead for twenty
foot lots down in John Il. Clarke's sub
division of Omaha, near the Platte
river, ten miles below the new fort.

orr PROFESSIONAL MorRNERs.

In far-oif Egypt, in blessed Araby,
in Persia and India IL has been the Gus
tom from time immemorial for people OF
quality TO hire their weeping done by
professional mourners When any man
OF renown and wealth shuflles off this
mortal coil his remains are followed to
the grave or funeral pyre by band Of
women whose lamentations rend the air,
while they beat their breasts, tear their
garments and shed what appears to be
yelling flood of tears.
But all this wailing and weeping is n
solemn masquerade. These emotional
outbursts of grief are mere sham. The
hired mourners care no more for the
dead over whose loss they go wild than
does the average actor who performs
in tragedy.
The recent performances Of galvanized
anti-monopoly editors in these parts are
a counterpart of the hired walters of Con-
stantinpple, Cairo and Calcutta. Their
ear-piercing shrieks and distressing
grief about the poor farmer is enough to
make n horse laugh. Like the hired
mourners, these mountebanks are rend-
ing their shirts and pulling out their
hair over the deplorable condition of
our producers, whom they love so dearly
for dollar q year in advance. They
never tire Of reciting his sufferings at
three months for II quarter, and they
dwell with unction upon the conspiracy to
dcmonetize silver and the immediate need
of mud-scows down the Missouri, at six
months for fifty cents. And then these
Jeremiah diddlers fall upon the railroad
highwayman, with whom they have just
been dining in the Omaha club room,
and choke him until his face is black
and blue for his merciless plumber of
the farmer And the weeping and wall
ing and gnashing of teeth will continue
from now on until November, when the
dupcd and deluded farmer has been
given rest under the sod of the politi-
cal cemetery.
The average farmer knows hawk
from Il hand-saw. He cannot be imposed
upon by professional mourners at SO
much wall.

The Only Remedy.
Nebraska Signal

So far as we know the Nebraska Signal
was the first paper in the state to advocate
government control of railroads. Subsc-
quently the OMAHA BEE expressed the opin-
ion that the question would result in govern
ment control, and now comes the Jefferson
County Alliance, which says THE United
States should own and operate the railroads
and telegraph lines.n IL is the only sure and
absolute remedy. 1t will forever take the
railroads out of the domain of politics. It
will remove all contention and the conflict
now going on between the people and the
railroads, and the people will get the benefit.
The effort to control railroads and telegraphs
by present methods reminds US very forcibly
of our experience in boyhood days in CON

NATIONAL HNDoWlIENr.

The present prosperous condition OF
the public schools Of the west is largely
| due to the liberality of the national gov
ernment. The endowment of agricult-
ural colleges, lavish donations of public
| lands and five per cent of the proceeds
from sales of public lands have netted
| munifcent funds, enabling the newer
states to keep pace with the growth of
population, and lay a broad and secure
foundation for popular education. With
out this assistance during the formative
period it would have been practically
impossible by direct taxation to have
established and maintained the excel
lent public schools and provide them
with permanent income. The wisdom
of the nations generosity is conspicu-
ously shown in the fact that the per cent
of illiteracy in the west is much smaller
than in the older states.
A strong feeling is manifested in con-
gress to extend national aid to education
in substantial and permanent form.
This sentiment has taken shape in
bill drafted by Senator Morrill,, which is
now being considered by the committee
on education and labor. The bill pro-
vides that the net proceeds of the sales
of public lands and three-fourths of the
money paid into the treasury by the Pa
citic railroads under the Thurman act,
shall be devoted to furthering education
throughout the country. The money
thus obtained is made permanent
fund, upon which four per cent interest
will be allowed. The interest is made
payable annually to the state and ter
ritories, one half to be divided equally
among the agricultural colleges
established or to be established under
the act of July 2, 1862, and the remainder
to go to the respective public school
funds in proportion to school population.
The amount to be paid each college is
limited to twenty-five thousand dollars
per annum, the excess to be placed in
the school fund.
The Morrill, bill avoids the features
which were fatal to the Blair bill. 1t
does not raid the treasury for Il lump
sum to be divided among the states, nor
does it suggest federal interference with
the public school. 1t merely es-
tablishes permanent fund in the
United States treasury, the interest to
be devoted to upholding and
strengthening the educational system
of the country. The magnificent re-
suits of federal aid to the schools of the
west amply justify its extension, under
proper:safcguards, to all sections of coun-
try. Conceding that the states are COM
petent to provide for the education of
their youth, no rational objection can be
urged against the creation of national
endowment fund to assist in increasing
and elevating the public schools and
making them 50 far superior to private
schools as to silence criticism by friends
or enemies.

| at Creston, Waterloo, and at Marshall
| town, whore he is now holding very
successful series of meetings. The oppO.
sition arises from the fact that MrA
Murphy Is not prohibitionist, but Y
high license advocate. IL is true he sci.
dom discusses this phase of the temper
ance question, as he does not find il nee.
essary in his work, but his opinion is
we'll known and freely given, when
asked. The local clergy, however, rs
a rule, take kindly to Murphy's work
when he gots among them and generally<
fall into line with it before he quits ND
town.
At one of the nightly crowded houses
at Marshalltown recently nearly all the
ministers of the city were present and
added to the effectiveness of the work.
An unlocked for and gratifying incident
occurred prior to Mr.. Murphys dis
course. The Rev. Mr.. fremont of
Waterloo, pastor of the Presbyterian
church of that city, was in the city and
on the platform, and was introduced by
Mr.. Murphy TO the audience. He mads
few remarks that filed the lecturer,
the local clergy and the congregation
with pleasure and enthusiasm they had
not before experienced since the meeting
began. He said Francis Murphy had helV
"a series of gospel temperance meetings
in Waterloo short time ago When
he came there some of tho minis
ters were skeptical, himself with the
rest, regarding his work, and for while
they refused to cooperate with him.
But MIR. Murphy finally captured the
whole crowd, and the work went on
gradually, and the results were not alone
confined to the reformation of many
men, but the city was on the eve of a
great religious revival. He said the
Waterloo ministers unhesitatingly en-.
dorsed Mr.. Murphy, as did the citizcns
generally. And the good he accom-
plished there was incalculable. After
the revelation by the Waterloo clergy
man, Mr.. Murphy addressed the multi.
tude with an earnestness and eloquence
that surpassed the previous efforts, and
the effect was especially accentuated by
the number and character of the pledge
signers when the invitation was ex-
tended
