From the recent epiphany of so many
candidates for the presidential nomina-
tion in both parties, it seems that there
is a growing tendency to revise the pres.
idential term to two years. Voltaire,
once, in speaking of the English cleo
tions, said that England had a revolution
once every eight years. But Voltaire
never dreamt of the possibilities of the
United States of the nineteenth century.

The Prohibition Running Mate.


From the Omaha World.
IL has been presumed and assumed
that all liquor men would oppose pro-
hibition as a matter of course.
But now it appears that certain liquor
sellers Of Omaha. lured by the unlicensed
freedom of saloons uE.der prohibition as
compared with the admitted severity
with which the law is enforced under
high license. have decided to work Tor
prohibition.
This is interesting if true. The spec
tacle Of The worst classes of liquor vend-
ors in alliance with the prohibition en-
thusiasts would be novel If not beautiful.
But why not: As experience teaches
that prohibition M cities means unli-
censed and unbridled liquor selling. why
should the liquor sellers and grog shops
Of the lower order not be for it.

Special to the Globe.
DICKINSON, n. D., June 10.-1ntense
excitement prevailed here this evening
when the news spread that Sheriff
Hayes, of this county, had captured one
of the participants in the robbery OF
the Northern Pacific train at New
Salem last Sunday. The sheriff
and two other men arrived with
the prisoner this evening and lodged
him in jail. In crossing Grand river
about eighty miles south of here the
robbers horse was injured, compelling
him to stop his flight, and when the Of
fcers first discovered him this morning
he made a desperote effort to
escape. After a race of several
miles, and seeing that escape was i'm
possible, he surrendered. He supposed
his time had come to die, and gave some
valuable information showing that the
robbery of the train had been deliber-
ately planned. He gave his names as
Charles E. Bailey. There are five men
in the band, two of whom came
from the West on the train which
they assisted in robbing. The other
three were in readiness at the scene OF
the robbery with horses, and after the
job was completed. the three latter
started south, and separated when a few
miles out-one going towards the Mis-
souri, river; one west. and the prisoner
was making for the Black Hills. The two
who came from the West remained on
the train, and from what the prisoner
says there is no doubt but it was their
intention to rob the passengers, but
for some reason this was aban-
doned. The prisoner offered the
sheriff $1,000 to release him.
Sheriff Hayes left again tonight
to attempt the capture of the bandit
that started east. The prisoner claims
he was under obligations to assist the
others, but he is a desperate-looking
man and evidently desperate. When
captured he was supplied with fifty
pound sack of flour and some
bacon, and could have subsisted for two
waeks on what provisions he had. The
country south of here is almost barren
of settlement, and the sheriff is desery-
ing of much credit for his success.

A Bill Authorizing This Novel
Scheme Passed by Congress.
WASHINGTON, June 1O.-The house
to-day passed the senate bill amending
the internal revenue laws, so as to au-
thorize the commissioner of internal
revenue to formulate rules and regula-
tions by which beer may be carried d.
rect from the vats to the bottling de-
partment without passing through the
intermediate process of being drawn
into kegs. Senate bill was passed
changing the present system of draw
back in exported fermented liquors, and
permitting their expectation in bond, in
the same manner as distilled spirits
are now handled. Some hours were
consumed in the consideration of
senate bill for the relief of Hyland G.
Kirk and other assignees of Addison G.
Fletcher, patentee of cancelling
stamp. The bill was finally laid upon
the table-an unusual proceeding, the
ordinary method pursued to defeat a
senate bill being to postpone it in
definitely. The house then went into
committee of the whole (Mr. PaySOn,
of Illinois, in the chair, on the postoffice
appropriation bill. No opposition was
made to the measure, and the COM
mittee having speedily considered the
bill, reported 1t to the house, when it
was passed. On motion of MI. Sayres,
Of Texas, a bill was passed authorizing
the Haines, Bracket and Fort Clark
and Rio Grande railroad company to
construct line through the Fort Clark
military reservation, Texas. The house
then at 4:15 p. m. adjourned.

A Gravedigger's Fairy Story Stirs
Up Chicagoans.
CHICAGO, June 1O.-An afternoon pa
per publishes long and sensationally
handled report in relation to the death
Of a tailor named Gustav Cantor,
though, when brought down to a sue
cinct statement of the facts, it seems to
be merely suspicious case. The story
was first told by a workman named
John Stier, who said that on Feb. 25,
last, when passing Ridgelawn cemetery,
Supt. John Miller called to him to come
inside. He went inside and found Mill
er 1illing in new grave. The comm
was partly covered. Miller said to him
that he believed the man in the coffln
was alive. Stler listened and heard
series of distinct raps, as if made by
the knuckleS of some one on
the inside of the coffin. Miller,
however, continued to fill in the coffin
and water ran into the grave, also COW
ering the coffin, and finally the sounds
ceased. Miller, so Stier said. told him
subsequently that he opened the grave
later. and found the body distorted and
every evidence that death had occurred
after interment. Miller, when queS-
toned by reporter, said that in bury
ing Cantor he heard noises from the
coffin, and, to make sure, took off the
lid and saw the man was surely dead,
having the testimony both of his eyes
and nose to that effect. He replaced the
coffin lid and began again to fill the
grave. Stier was passing att the
time, and he thought it would be good
joke to scare him, in which he succeed
ed to perfection, and he clinched 1t by
telling HIM the fairy story'' of the eX-
humation subsequently. The noises in
the grave, he believes. were caused, by
the water running in around the coffin.
Inquiry at the hospital ELECTED the in
formation that Cantor died of heart dis
ease, and the authorities of the institu-
ton secuted the idea that the man
could have returned to life in the grave.

VALENTINES SOFT SNAP.
A Nebraskan to be Sergeant-at-
Arms of the Senate.


WASHINGTON. June 10.-The Repub-
lican senators held caucus this even
ing to choose successor to Sergeant-at-
Arms w. P. Canaday. who has handed
in his resignation. to take effect June
30th. A number of candidates were
presented to the caucus, but the votes
for almost all of them were compli-
meptary. The leading candidates for the
place were E. K. Valentine, of Nebras-
ka, and S. M. Bailey, of Pennsylvania.
The fight has been between them for
some time, although Deputy Sergeant
alarms Charles B. Reade, of Maine,
has had good following. Mr.. Bailey
was the candidate of Senator Quay.
while Mr.. Valentine controlled most OF
the strength of the West, led by the
senators from his own state. There
were forty senators present at the eau
Gus. The candidates put in nomination
were: Valentine, of Nebraska; Bailey,
of Pennsylvania; Reade, of Maine:
Reed. of Minnesota; Swords, of Iowa:
Bvington, of Connecticut; Wilson of
Montana. and Dunn, of Delaware.
The votes on the first ballot were scat
tered widely, but on the second the
strength of the leading candidate was
concentrated, and Mr.. Valentine receiv-
ing twenty-three votes to Mr.. Bailey's
thirteen, was declared the choice of the
caucus. Mr.. Valentine was born in
Keosauqua. To-, June l, 1s43. He was
for many years printer. He did honor.
able service during the war. He located
in Nebraska in 1866; was appointed
register of the land office at Omaha
in 1869; shortly afterward was ad-
mitted to the bar and practiced
law until 1875, when he was
elected judge of the Sixth judicial dis
trict, serving in that position until he
was elected to the FortY-siXth congress.
He was three times reelected to con-
gress from the Third Nebraska district.
The position of sergeant-at-arms is one
of the most important in the senate.
The rgeant-at-arms is the executive
officer of the senate and doorkeeper as
well. The place carries a salary of
$500 annually and great deal OF val
liable patronage.

MORMONS' MILLIONS.
Senator Edmunds Would Devote
Them to School Purposes.

WASHINGTON. June 10.-Senator Ed
munds introduced bill to-day provid-
ing that ali the funds or other property
lately belonging to, or in possession, OF
claimed by the corporation of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, to which it shall appear there is
no lawful private right. shall be devoted
to the benefit of public common schools
in Utah, the money to be disposed of by
the secretary of the interior in such
manner as shall seem to him to be most
expedient. The supreme court of Utah
is invested with authority to make all
necessary and proper orders and de-
creeS for this purpose. After the United
States supreme court rendered its de-
cree annulling the charter and escheat-
ing to the United States the property of
the Mormon church, it withheld the de-
cree in the case through desire to find
the best method of disposing of the con-
fiscated property, or OF finding private
owners to whom it might be reverted.
The object of Senator EdmundS' bill is
to declare by congressional enactment
to what use the money and property
may be devoted, and to relieve the court
OF its embarrassment.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10.-The
entire editorial party was astlr early
this morning, having rested we'll from
the fatigues of the furiously hurried
journey from St. Paul to Washington.
AT 9:45 the entire party, under escort
of Senator Washburn, ably seconed by
Representatives Hall, Lind, Dunnell
and Comstock, started in procession
from the Ebbitt house to the White
house. Arriving there, most tedious
wait of over an hour occurred. The
crowd gazed upon the pictorial presi-
dents of the republic while they
awaited the appearance of the gentle
man whose portrait will next decorate
the walls of the east room. AS minute
after minute rolled by the impatience
of the crowd became manifest.
What is the matter with his excel
loncy?" asked W. B. Mitchell, address
ing Mr.. Dunnell. ooh he has been
caught by senator and the great man
intends to hold on to him until his de-
mands are granted" was the reply.
The heat was awful, and handkerchief
became mops IN the hands. of the multi
tude. Finally, preceded by three or
four liveried f1unkeys, 1.-The little great
man. appeared. unaccompamed by
Baby Mckee, and shook hands with the
multitude, while he ltO{ed bored not
withstanding the gorgeous smile OF
benefcent welcome set up for
the occasion. 1t was a long wait for
an insignificant qualification, and the
gang sWeltered through the blue room
and out upon Pennsylvania avenue. In
tersminutes after it once more got down
to business. The president at once
shook himself together, bowed stiffiy to
ly back into the darkness of coveted
oblivion. "What did you think of the
president?' asked one local delegation
Of another. .tAll well enough" was
the reply, s'but he need not have been
so Internal stiff about it," Your corre
spondent did not hear one pleasant com
ment upon the chief magistrate of the
nation from the entire crowd. The next
visit; was to Secretary Blaine, and
again the handshaking process
was gone through with. But
there were pleasant salutatioHs
and little catchwords of real affection
ilitermingled here, which gave meaning
to the ceremony. Next the crowd called
upon Secretary Window, and here there
was 10 formality, as the secretary was
well known to most of the gentlemen of
the party, and the gathering partook
more OF the nature of a family reunion.
'.GO where you please" said the secre-
tary. 1.-The entire department is at
your SERVICE" Afterward there was a
scattering of the crowd, and after lunch
little parties were formed to visit places
of note about the city, all returning to
the hotel in the evening tired and
happy.
