many lagOons and deep streams far |

The trouble in Omaha in reference
to the board of police Int will govern
the city will be de.ided 10y the
supreme court, and this is the place
where all such difficulties should be
settled.
The American missionaries in Ar
menia are fearful of suffering outrages
at the hands Of the Turkish authori-
ties. Protection should be given
them, even if it is necessary for an
American navy to steam up the Bos-
lhorus.
In'June. 1895. Republicans will name
the man who will succeed the presi-
dent who loves tariff reform that closes
American factories. loves fallen mon
arches better than struggling repub-
lies, land who sells Uncle Sam treasury
to English gold bugs. and gives
millions as a bonus in the contract.
A physician writing in the "Popular
Science Monthly" says that children
who habitually lie are usually su@er-
ing from disorders of mind or body
(which radically interfere with the
transmission of conceptions and per-
ceptions from The internal to the eX-
ternal processes of expression" Per-
prevaricators.
Colonel Watterson himself is in
Europe, but his Courier-Jourmnl goes
on whistlipg as the Democratic party
goes marching through slaughter
house to an open grave" 1t is to be
| hoped the colonel will get back to join
! the pro :ession of mOurnerS before the
solemnities have ended. Republicans
| like the colonel. He adds certain
| picturesqeness to the march.
Justice Jackson's death reduces the
number of Democratic members of the
supreme court to three, as compared
| with five Republicans. Probably
Democrat will be appointed in his
| place, which will make the count four
to five. However, the partisan COM
plexion of the members of this tribunal
makes little or no difference in their
attitude towards the questions which
are likely to come before them here
after. Neither partisan nor sectional
lines were revealed in the income tax
decision.
Senator Vest says the silver agita-
tion will continue until free coinage
becomes a law. Perhaps. with the
senator from Missouri, the wish is par
ent to the thought; but his published
opinion will not change the COM
plexion of congress on this question.
The leaders of the Democracy are in
favor of sound money. and so also are
all Republicans of any prominence.
From this it is very evident that no
action will be taken during the next
session. and the friends of the white
metal must wait patiently for the turn
of the tide in their favor.
The Fossil Journal says "the coyote
bounty of 50 is working almost to per-
fection so far in Gillian. and these
pests are being rapidly thinned out of
the county" But that paper thinks if
the ighbOrhood counties of Wasco,
Sherman. Grant. Crook and Nor
row would follow the example of
Gillian these animals would soon
cease to damage the sheep industry.
The plan of giving bounty for scalps
is most advisable one, as it stimu-
lates farmers and others to kill as
many coyotes as possible. During the
lambing season they are very destruc-
tive to hocks, and it requires great dill
igence to protect the young lambs
from their rapacity. Wool is one of

Corbett and Fitz Simmons met in
barroom in Philadelphia Saturday,
and had little altercation and col.
lision. Neither was badly injured, but
Fitz Simmons had his nose wrenched
in very discourteous manner by Jim
Corbett. This will put them in fight
ing trim. for IL is necessary for their
at Dlllas. A similar plan was fol-
lowed with the old gladiators. during
the palmy days of Rome, and when
they were embiitered against each
other there was royal sport in the
amphitheater for spectators. These
prize fighters should have their ire
aroused by every possible means, and
then the contest will not lack vim.
If slugging m ttches must take
place to sati,fy the cravings of the
public, they should be made as brutal
and revolving as possible so that the
people will tire OF them.
The queen has sent her address to
and any one not acquainted
with the politics of Great Britain
would imagine that she was an abso-
lutte monarch and managed affairs to
suit her own sweet will. She uses the
first person singul r when she talks of
her connection with public affairs,
and speaks of my" people and that

the recent massacre in China This is
all ''bosh." for she hasn't any more
authority in that government than the
most humble subject. AS far as Chi
1ese or Armenian affairs or other in
matters are concerned
,he policy is dictated by the premier,
Ind her majesty Is not consulted at all.
But the figure-head of royalty will re-

An organized band of cattle rustlers

itizens finally organized to protect
