If further testimony is required we liavo no doubt that Noise Patrick will cheerfully give it In private to honest seekers after the truth , as it is not found hi Cliuroh Howo. Tin : stir among the dry bones of the Afghan boundary question is ono of tlio first fruits of the Salisbury ministry. To call attention to foreign matters is the proper thing to do under the circuni- stances. Whether Colonel llidgowav , of the British Afghan commission , is act- njjllv recalled or not , It is plain that the Inuf" ! ! Question , so long Bleeping in ob- fiourity'figured pfomlnvntJy at Tuesday's council board of the now ciibiAcft A bit of territory in the Oxus district has boon" selected and , It the reports can bo rolled upon , n yes or no answer has been de manded of Hussiu. This pushes the issue to the front at onco. llussia never gives a yes or no answer as to her claims upon Asiatic soil , nnd she can thus bo relied upon to help the premier draw the oya of Kngland from a burning domestic question. The sensational rumors of the Week are denied , but the cabinet action as to the Afghan frontier was enough to turn the public mind in a new channel. Tins Is the season of the year when the Indian commission goes on its annual trip to spread philanthropy.and refine ment among the reservations and to re turn with a largo stock of misinforma tion about Indian allairs. As usual , the members were chosen this year from eastern tientlomon who have about as much practical knowledge of the Indian problem as they have of running n cattle herd. Why commissioners are not se lected from tlm west it is dilllcult to understand. The men of the west lnivu had practical knowledge of the Indian problem for it quarter of a century , In their minds it resolves itself simply into the question how the Indians shall bo kept quiet and harmless. The problems of civilisation and Christianlzatlon and education , nnd a score of other "atious , " which worry the minds of the eastern philanthropists , are quito secondary to the main issue of frontier protection and quiet on the re serves. A well-fed Indian on a discip lined agency , with a reserve commanded l y well garrisoned posts , is the most harmless Indian on the frontier. A. Vonceflfllon Not n Surrender. The report coming from El Paso that the supreme tribunal Of Chihuahua will order the release of Cutting and Iho remission of the line Imposed upon him is not incredible. The plausible ground for such action is in the fact that Cutting has already served two months' impris onment. Furthermore , it is quito reason- nlilo to suppose that in tlio present cir- ctimstaupos the Mexican authorities would be disposed to make some conces sion , if thereby the matter in controversy could bo closed. They of course under stand that In consequence of the blun dering of Secretary Bayard at the outset , in acting precipitately upon information since found not to have boon entirely accurate , they have rather the advantage in the issue , and can well nITord to rid themselves of a troublesome all'nir if that can bo done by the release of t'ullini ? . But the dlspateii says that the McMean tribunal is careful to have it understood that there is no sitrrender in respect to the right claimed by Mexico to try an otliuisc ngaliiM Us laws com mitted in the United States by an Ameri can cili/.eti. This will leave the princi ple which is the root of the controversy still unsettled. It is stated that Cutting will not accept release as n settlement of the matter so far as ho is concerned , but will demand an Indemnity , probably to the amount often ton thousand dollars. In this ho is said to bo encouraged by Consul Brlghnm. The inquiries to bo prosecuted by Mr. Sedgwick , who is now in Mexico as the envoy of the United States , will doubt less have a great deal to do with detenu- in ng whether Cutting has any proper claim to indemnity which would justify this government in supporting his de mand. Meanwhile the statement comes from Washington Unit the slate dcpnil- ment has no information regarding tlio reported intention of the Mexican au thorities , while if such action was taken it would interpose no obstruction to diplomatic oH'orls to secure the modifica tion or repeal of the objectionable Mexican laws involving the claim to extra territorial jurisdiction. Assuming the authenticity of these reports , the ob vious deduction is that Mexico sees an easy way to avoid further and possibly serious trouble by making a concession which would involve no humiliation to her , since the United States government has found it necessary to roccdo in a moasurj from its original attitude , while leaving to the tedious processes of diplomacy the settlement at home indefi nite time of tlio prime principle at slake. People who have been disposed to deny the Mexican government the judgment and sagacity to intelligently manage ils case may have reason to reverse their opinion. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Kevcnuo Kel'orin. 'Iho next legislature will doubtless bo called upon to revise our revenue law. The si-stem of luxation especially as up- plied to cities and to railroads is radically wrong. Omaha knows its defects , and every other city in the stale suffers pro portionally. Assessment under its pro visions is a dolnslon and a snare. The theory of a proper assessment is to equal- i/.o the burden of taxation , to throw its weight upon shoulders able to sustain it and to relieve the poor troin a drain which their small resources would be unable to sustain. In practice1 , Nebraska law , which forces the cities to take the county assessment as a basis for taxation throws the burden oflho la.xcs upon the poor and lifts it from the wealthy. A single oily assessor with power to appoint deputies and with an entire year to revise property values and discover evasions of the Inw would change conditions ft. oneo. Tins is tlio system adopted in all largo cities else where. It should bo made the law for cilics of the tirat and second class in Nebraska. The evasion of taxes by the railroads is even moro striking and disastrous to the revenue. In ttiis particular wo suffer with other neighboring slates. Missouri is now agitating 11 change in her law providing tor taxing the great railroad corporations. Accord ing to the St. Louis /lejtitblicuii the fol lowing conditions exist : "Thoro are ninety railroads in Mis souri , having n total mileage of 5,017 miles. Their aggregate stock and bonded debt is $310,1) ,000 , and this represents their apparent cost. What their veal cost has been we cannot loll until wo know how much water hi\3 been put into the stock. Mr. Henry Poor , the railroad statistician , estimates that one-half the railway stock and debt of the country is water. If this is true of the railways of Missouri , their actual cost has boon one-half of $2-10,553,000 , , or $123- , 370,000 , Hut It is amazing how suddenly railroad values shrink when brought up for taxation. The taxable value of all the railroads in Missouri is only $12,000- , 000 little moro than one-sixth their pretended tended cost , anil little moro than one- third their estimated actual cost. In the counties of Missouri property is taxed at ubijiut one-half its actual cash value ; in St. Louis ! tl lOiir-fifths , and in many cases at its full cash VftlSSr W' ' V railroads , which aio a profit-earning spffciti ; of property , should enjoy the favor of a so" much lower taxable valuation than other kinds of property , is a question which the assessors alone can answer. " Political Offenders. The senate will have two o.xtradition treaties to consider when it meets in December session. The Knglish treaty is likely to cause more discussion than the ono with Japan on account of its clause making "malicious injury to lifo and property" nn extraditable olfenso , Some unnecessary fears are expressed lest this clause , if ratified , should put in jeopardy the lives and liberties of per sons charged with alleged political offenses , The question should bo elearty defined. Who are political offenders ? In the most obvious and general sense po litical offenses consist in attacking the es tablished political onterof government in n country. No ono pretends Unit political offenders of this class could bo delivered up under an extradition treaty. It seems to bo assumed by some Unit crimes committed under the orders of tv secret political society , for an alleged political purpose , would bring the perpetrators under the protection of International law as political offenders. ThU is n doc trine which no right thinking man can admit. It would have protected Fioschi who murdered n number of innocent persons in the streets of Paris in an attempt upon the life of Louis Philippe. It would protect the dynamite conspirators and anarchist assassins recently convicted In Chicago. If they .should break jail and escape to Canada they could plead against extradi tion that the murderous dynamlto bomb was flung into the ranks of the police fern n political purpose , and under this doc trine the claim would bo allowed. Under ovcry cede in the civilized world such deeds are murders nnd they cannot be palliated as political offenses. Revolution or war create political offenders. Such persons may commit high treason against their country and upon escaping cannot be delivered up by any government with out violating the hospitality ot nations. But the common sense of mankind makes a wide distinction between this class of political olfendi-rs nnd the assas sins who plot wholesale murder by fling ing cans ot dynamite Into crowded streets with the atrocious pretension that they are engaged in reorganising soelely. sT.vrn AND Tnuurroiiv.

It so I pro pose to rtifiv.sU thcjr memory ftlht rovlve the historic record. When the Icglslntuio convened in this city In iJanuary , 187f > , it was beset by tin army of active political workers. There was to bo a senatorial election for the seat hold by Tipton. General Tnayer , who was at that time a ' resilient of Lin coln , was the most prominent candidate on the republican side , with , ImljxoDnndy iioxtaml Ftiddoek bringing up the rear There was palpably no show tor a demo crat any moro than there Is now , but Nelse Patrick , who had a largo "barl , " conceived the schonio of capturing the senatorshlp by buying up a tto/en venal republicans , The ltr t thing ho < lid was to biro a cottage near the old Tlchenor house and lay in a full supply of refreshments in the cellar. Then he looked about him for a tir.st class1 decoy , .who would ropu in the suckers and distribute the boodle. Church Howe was picked upon as the man. lie claimed to bo a re formed republican with independent tendencies. He was the boss granger , and could work the' tanner racket to perfection. As the contest progressed , Patrick became very confident. It took only twenty-seven votes to elect , and Church Howe had assured Patrick that he had thirty pledged. When the bal loting commenced , Church led oil' for Patrick. The democrats , under Patrick's advice , scattered their votes promiscuous ly , most of them voting for Paddock , who only had a pair , Origgs and Joe Mc Dowell , to which he expected to draw a full. The light between Tliayer and Ihindy became very liorco. Tliayer alone had the inside , while Dandy's ' fol- 'lowers wore sadly demoralized by the scents of Patrick's boodle. Presently the crisis M'as reached by Dundj's with drawal and Paddock's election. Church Howe stood bra/.only by Patrick to the hiht. but when ho failed to return the sUO ! ! , ( ) which Patrick had advanced on a sure contingency there were curses loud and deep among the followers of the nii\n who later on tried to Jix Cronin for Sam Tildon. Two years later the charge was broadly made that Church Howe had taken a bribe of § 3,000 for his influence mid vote in the previous legislature. The lieuten ant governor , who was ono of Howe's cronies , parked a committee organi/.cd to whitewash. The testimony was very strong , and when the most important witnesses were about totyo. introduced the committee sjjiuimeii The door in their faces. a . ' .L adjourned. Among the wit- .losses that were called was Joseph Iar- ! kor , brother-in-law of Mr. Patrick , who was reputed to have transacted n good deal of business with Howe. He declined to answer when asked if ho was a confidential friund of Mr. J. N. II. Patrick , of whom it had been charged that ho had received $ ! 5OUO , he declined to answer , givinjr tor his reason that it might compromise him. Also to these questions he rotused an answer : 1. Was money to be used as one of the agencies to elect Patrick V U. Wore you ono ol the parties to furnish money to secure that electiony 3. lid you know anything of his plac ing money at the disposal of Mr. Howe , to aid in securing his election ? 1. Do you mean to say that you don't know whether it was arranged between Mr. Howe and Mr. Patrick that any money should bn i placed at Mr. Howe's disposal in any form to secure his elec tion ? fi. Were you the custodian of mono.y , the money to bo employed to secure that election ? To all of the questions Mr. Marker re sponded bv saying ho "declined to answer. " There the examination could have stopped , as each question was evi dence enough that Howe was guilty , as charged by Mr. Rosuwntor. IIO.V. II. < ! . LiKTT , under oath , Instilled as follows- The May after the senatorial contest , 1 met Mr. Pntriok and Dr. Miller in Chicago cage , and came as far as Hod Oak , A conversation came up referring to the senatorial contest. Patrick asked whom our mutual friend Howe was. I stated that ho was at homo when I Itft. Patrick said , "Howe h a pretty cuss. " I answered ! "Yes , Howu is pretty lively , " Ho said , "Howe is a guerrilla. " I asked , "what was the matter between you and Howe ? " and ho remarked , "I would have been thousands of dollars better oft * If I hadn't scon him. " I was iiKiuihitivo. He said tint ho had spent Bovoral thousand dollars during the sena torial contcht. 1 think ton or twelve thousand , J said I didn't see how this could bo. Ho said , "In various ways ; that Howe got several thousand dollars of our money. " 1 asked , "How was that ? " Ho said that Howe agreed to so many things that ho did not or could not accomplish. " I replied , "Howo paid your money hack , didn't ' hoV" Ho said , "not a cent I" The investigation consumed several days ; created quite an expense , and en'dcd in a complete whitewash for Howo. Just as the evidence commenced to assume a serious aspect , and every in dication showed that it would bo nocuss- , -vMn Jiml that Howe was guilty , as SlmrfcotOl WivIJ W.OOO from Patrick jtioyod to adjourn as a brlbo.

Uho rO- port whitewashing the gentleman was rushed through the senate , the "injured" man went to his Neniiiha county homo , llrst telographlnfr a brass band to moot him at the depot. All through the trial the evidence was positive. Howe's de mand for an Investigation nt tlio state's expense , was ono of those peculiar dafahes for which ho is celebrated. OtIIKK CIlAIIOCS.

A NOTABLE BRIDGE , Tlio first Unllrojul Bridge In the Country Iloln Dctnntlalicd Alter Vlfij Vents of WHO. Philadelphia Hocwd : After half ft century of usefulness the famous Colum bia wooden bridge spanning the Schuyl- Klll river between Koeklund and Hel- mont. in I'ainnount Park , is to bo dis mantled , and in its plaeo will rise n moro modern .structure of iron. Aside from the ancient and piclurexiiito appearance of the structure eonsldcrnldo interest at taches t it on account of its historical importance and its connection with the earlier railroad interests of Pennsyl vania. It was built in 1 :51 : by the canal conunissiotirrs of the slate for the Phila delphia A : Columbia railroad , one of the purlh" t practical steam lines coustntetrd in IVuns hiinm , and , In faet , in tlio whole United States. This line was originally projected as a stock eompanj. but failing to secure sitlllclent linancial .support it was taken in hand 115tlu - state of Pennsylvania , under whose direction it was constructed and operated until sold to the Pennsylvania Hailroad com pany in 1K4 . Just previous to the construction of the Philadelphia ami Columbia ralfioiul the Union Canal , which was to follow the cast bank of the Schuylkill , was pro jected. Money for its colistruetion was not readily forthcoming , so a lottery for Its benefit was authoii/.od by the state. Work was commenced , but beyond grad ing the course from Fairmont avenue to uloio by the eastern end of the bridge , nothing was done. The line thus pre- paied was then utili/ed by the Columbia Compain , notwithstanding a futile law suit by the Canal Company for its re covery. There are many among the older resi dents of Philadelphia who are able to re call the old state railroad by which travelers wont west , starting from Hroad ami Callowhill streets. Travel was com menced several years prior to the con struction of the Columbia bridge , passengers - engers being conveyed to the east bank ot the Schuylkill by rail and crossing the river in boats. From the west side the cars wcro hauled to the summit of the hill upon which HclmotU Mansion stands over an inclined plane , a .stationary en gine at the top of the hill furnishing the motive power. Locomotives wore then attached to the cars and passengers weio convoyed across country to Columbia. The now route adopted by the Penn sylvania railroad upon its purchase of the Columbia line rendered the bridge of no value to the now line , and it was sub sequently sold to the Philadelphia and Heading Kailroad Company , its present owners. It was then .somewhat altered and improved in order to lit it for the change in trallie which look place. The long and gracefully sweeping arches , Inch now lorm a conspicuous feature of the bridge , \\cre added , and the enliro structure was tttrongthcneil throughout with iron-tie holts. The old wooden biidgo is 1,050 feet long and has .seven spans. Witli its dou ble tracks and carriage way. it has a width ot forty-eight feet. It is built of white pine , and , owing to the careful manner in which it is protected from the weather by an iron covering , it is a sound to-day as when lirst constructed Speaking of wooden bridges , an expe rienced engineer remarked thoother day "It is tiie popular but erroneous idea that a woo.len bridge of Mich an ago mtist nccoasarily be pretty well decayed , but if well covered and thoroughly protected from the weather , such a structure will last an almost indefinite period. " The Columbia was the lir-,1 railroad bridge of any considerable si/.e ever con structed in this country , and it Is the oldest now in existence. 1 here are , how ever , several foot and carriage budges whose construction antedate the Colum bia bridge. The. old wooden bridge at Kastoy wu ° built in 1605 , while that at Unrrlsburg bridge was destroyed by lire , but with that exception both structures are as sound to-day as when first creeled. The Columbia bridge has never suH'orcd by lire and lias withstood the Hoods and storms of lifly winters without suilcring any damage. The principal reason for the demolition of the old bridge is ils scanty width , which will hardly permit of the passage of the modern passenger cars now in use. Strange burdens have boon borne across tlio old bridge during its half century of usefulness. Unnumbered thousands of foot passengers have trumped its lloor , nnd vehicles of every description hr.vo rolled along in the dark and tunnel-like structure. Kotonly have freight and passenger trains crossed the river upon Its substantial arches , but even canal boats have been trundled across and brought into the very heart of the ciiy. Until the construction of tint Pennsylvania railroad numerous canal boats wore built in detachable sections. Freight was loaded on these crafts at Pittsburg and other points , nnd the Louts were taken Dy land and water to their destination. At the termination ot the water routes the sections of the canal boats wore detached and each ono run upon a truck. They were then diawn from tlio water and placed upon the rail road tracks over which they were con veyed to their destination. Freight loaded upon boats in Pitlsburg was often unloaded from the same vessels in Mar ket street warehouses. Hupturo radically enroll , also pile tu mors and tistuhe.
