The Omaha BEE claims the lar- gest circulalation of any paper in Nebraska. We suppose there are several others in the same fix.— Siouzr City Journal. THE OMAHA BEE not only claims the largest circulation of any daily newspaper published in Nebraska, but it stands ready to back and prove its claim that its daily circula- tion exceeds by at least five hun- dred, the daily circulation of any other of its Nebraska contempora- ries. Our Washington advices indicate an early adjournment of Congress. At the Republican Senatorial Cau- cus, held Monday, it was agreed to pass Senator Edmund’s resolution to fix the day for sine die adjourn- ment to June 22d. This virtually determines the question for the Sen- ate. Whether the House will agree to this proposition remains, howev- er, to be scen. That the passage of such a resolution would expedite the business before Cougress very materially, isadmitted on all hands. SOME STUBBORN FACTS. ‘We regret exceedingly that the thirteen oppressed and down-trod- den editors of the Omaha Union have taken umbrage at the BEE'S blunt, but timely warning to the industrial classes against designing politieal bummers and rascally impostors who are seeking to become the leaders of indus- strial reform hereabouts. It hasalways been our aim to main- tain undisturbed harmony between the Bee and its brilliant reliable, and prosperous contemporary. This wili continue to be our policy, even if the Union shall hereafter, as here- tofore, persist in misrepresenting us, The thirteen editors of the Union seem, however, to labor under a very serious misapprehension that the BEE would always overlook their wilful misrepresentation of its record. An article in the last num- ber of the Union seems to demand prompt contradiction, and we pro- pose to do so with stubborn facts. In order to controvert the false- hoods sought to be palmed off as facts by our evening contemporary ‘we propose to reproduce and dis- piove each charge separately. CHARGE 1. The BEE did,about four months since, combine with two other powerful printing houses in the city of Omaha for the purpose of breaking down the Printer's Union, and made public boast of the fact. The organization isfor mutual improvement and protection, RePLY.—The Bee did combine with two other powerful printing houses of Omaha to resist the arro- gant and oppressive assumptions of a combination that was originally organized for improvement and pro- tection, and had finally degencrated into an organization for tyranny and misrule. In joining its morning contem- poraries, the BEE simply obeyed the natural instinct of self preservation. The Union has time and again charged the BamE with mereenary motives in this connection. It has charged that Rosewater sold out his printers for the purpose of getting into the Associated Press monopoly. This infamous falsehood has long | since been exploded. “Notonly has Rosewater been been Kkept out of the Associated Press, but the Union has been stealthily en- Joying the privilege of that wicked ‘monopoly! ‘Who is combined with Balcombe and Miller now? Everybody in this community is familise with the appeal of the thir- teen editors for sympathy and sup- port on the ground of the terrible oppression practiced upon them by the publishers.. ‘We have been repeatedly assured that the striking prioters could not | possibly work at thestarvation rates ‘ offered them by their tyrannicsl task-masters. Thiv falsehood also has been exploded by tha fact that the scale of prices recently fixed by | the Union is lower than the rates nowpaid by the BEE. | Why is this thus, and why do | these starvation patriots seek to oppress other printers by pulling down wages below the ruling rate? | Here is a letter which reached us this morning : | E.

Now it will be born in mind that Mr. Hickey was one of the original formerly Secretary of the Union Publishing Company. One mem- ber of that Company is now em- ployed under Rosewater's tyranny, per week for ten hours work. So much for Rosewater’s oppression of | workmen. CHARGE II. The BRE has made persistent and scurrilous attacks up- on the co-operative unions being organized in this city, and the men who are members of the same. REePLY—The BEE has never made scurrilous attacks upon working- men’s uions, nor upon their leaders, but the BEE has warned working- men against designing scallawags | who are trying to use thelr organiz- ations for a selfish end. The time is not very distant admit the sincerity of our motives in advising them to keep a from political shysters aud bum- mers, who are trying to play the workingman. CHARGE TIL. The movement of the farmers for organization has Wi sarcasms in the BEE, and the ofll.::rs appointod to earry forward their plans have been held up to ridicule fn almost every issue of that paper. REPLY.-Another bare-faced false- hood, which the files of the Bee and our Farmer’s subscription lists corruptible honesty as Mr. Allan Root, has, of course, received occa- sional attention. The fourth charge substantially denounces the BEE as a monopoly organ, because it enjoys a portion of the Union Pacific patronage. The silliness of this assumption will be- come self-evident when it is borne in mind that the BEE is the onlyjour- nal in Omaha that has at all times dared to tell the truth about the Union Pacific and all other railway monopolies. The BEE is the only paper in Omaha that dared to open- ly advocate the passage of Judge Crounse’s railroad tax law and all the patronage in the coun- try could not change its course. In conclusion we would rernark, if the Union 1s & true representative of the industrial classes, why does it coun- tenance and uphold the deceptive trickery which certain political bummers in these parts are resort- ing to in the name of industry, when it is well known that their only object is to delude workingmen into & support of their nefarious schemes? — THE ministerial erisis in France still continues. The conflicting ele- ments in the National Assembly, seem 8o far to present insurmounta- ble obstacles to the formation of a cabinet that could rely upon the backing of a majority of this factious legislative body. Even if McMahon shall succceed in reorganizing his cabinet, it can only hope to main- tain its existence by the early disso- lution of the present assembly. That body has evidently outlived its usefulness, It pretends to represent the will of France, but simply keeps up its illegal existence by refusing to dis- band. With the dissolution of the present national assembly we may also look for the removal of the French Capital from Versailles to Paris. Versailles has always been a eity of Kings, while Paris is, and has been, the city of the people. The Frénch people, if we under- stand their temper correctly, prefer to have their national assembly 7here they can inhale the Republi- can air. — AND now it transpires that the American Prison Congress that was in session at St. Louis last week has adjourned without arriving at any practical conclusions about prison reform. The St. Louis Globe in an able review of the proceeding of the prison reformers asks: “What positive, tangible good has the Prison Congress effected? ‘There has been much relation of in- dividual experiences by prison war- dens and chaplains, and their narr- tives were entertaining. But this is not reform. It does mot even tend to fornr. If continued every throughout the year to fashion- able audiences, it would effect reform. Something more sul tial and involving a recognition of society as well as the criminal, the wronged as well as the demanded. To maid until she is thirty-five. There is a passion for embroidery this year which has been stimulated by the revival of the English wheeled and eyelet-holed needle- ‘work upon linen and batiste. For country wear pretty striped cambrics are also in tion, with edging or ruffies of needlework and uniformly made into skirt and polonaise. White outdoor suits of linen and me are not in vogue this season. ir place is taken by the embroid- ered linen suits and the ecru batiste, trimmed or worked with English embroidery. “Neilson, the actress, is said to have cleared $150,000 since coming to the United States. She would be worth more but for her unfortunate habit of giving diamond rings to newspaper reporters. A Porter county, Indiana, young lady has the lofty ambition to raise 2,000 chickens this season. How much nobler it would be were she to devote her heaven-born energies to poetry, pianos and croquet. No Norwegian girl is allowed to have a beau until she bake bread and knit stockings; and as a conse- quence every girl can bake bread and knit long before she can read or write, and she does't have to be coaxed into her industry either. A Washington belle has forty- eight pairs of shoes, Some curjous wretch caloulates that if they were arranged, heel and toe, in a straight line, its shortest possible length would be a fraction over 110 feet. He adds by the way of postseript, “That girl came from Chicago.” More elegant dresses for morning ‘wear for the springs and for eoun- try-house visiting are plain lawns trimmed with deep bands of apen needlework put on as flounces, and dresses of embroidered muslin, which trim up so prettily with rib- bons. All linen suits are emhr:eigered or trimmed with embroide: linen bands, imported in dark blue and ecru. ' Stripped linen embroidered can also be procured wrought in dif- ferent shades of brown, so that if ladies wish to trim their own suits according to their own design they can do so at very slight cost, Flowers are as thick as umbrellas, assashes, as neckties, as black lace scaifs—everybody wears them, and as they aré popularly selected for their prettiness. without any refer- ence to the hat or ribbon, or dress or other articles they are to be worn with, the effect is froquently more striking than artistic. A novelty in suits are the embroi- dered pattérns in biack iron grena- dine. The designs are very bold, and form a striking contrast to the fabrie, which 1s now usually made up over black twilled crinoline in- stead of silk as heretofore, a change which makes an immense differ- ence in the cost. Beaded fringe or beaded laces are used for trimmings. Miss Edmonia Lewis, the sculp- tor, Is half Indian and Ralf African, but the blending of these natures s not _altogether perfect. Her Jjet black hair on one side of her head is short, erisp and crinky, like that of the African, and on the other side it is long and wavy, more like that of an Indian. A lady formerly living in New Bedford, was standingon & wharf in | New York the other day, bidding adieu to friendsabout to sail for New Bedford, when the head ofa huge cask of molasses, that was being hoisted on an elevator above her, burst out, and she was deluged with | the sweet, sticky fluid. Any gallant remark to her about ‘“sweetness’ now are said to be not very highly appreciated. The fashionable polonaises for spring and summer wear, are quite an_independent garment, and may be worn with blaek or any kind of skirt that agrees with the other de- tails of the costume. Foremost among them are beautiful designs in solid and Mechlin embroidery upon silk camel’s hair, a new fabric in ecru tints, upon fine black cash- mere, silk batiste, and silken can- vas, also now this season, There 15 one very decided change in the fashions. After having for 9 years comparatively short “waists,” the ladies are gradually going back to the old-fashioned long ones. It is predicted that this fashion will bring tight-lacing into vogue. In fact, slim figures, are already be- coming more common than for- merly, and art is accused of having something to do with it. Doctors are glad, and so are corset-makers. The new thing for the present month for wear with black suits is a small black cashmere mantle, ex- quisitely embroidered with silk slightly beaded with jet. There 15 no eutting to these, the only seams being about a finger long upon the shoulders; but there is an incision round which the lace is carried at the back, and a belt is plated under- neath to hold itinto the waist. The only trimming required is a finish- ing of lace or fringe. New Orleans Picayune: ‘“Are these gay widowers and middle- aged gentlemen of New Orleans aware that the young ladies to whom they pay attentien are in the habit of appealing to Bradshaw for sta- tistics? Such is the fact, atany rate. Only a few days ago we heard one of the most innocent of girls say, with reference to a certain eld- erly gallant of her acquaintance, ‘Oh, I know; Bradshaw puts him down at $15,000."

We are glad tohear that Mr. | Crounse’s Bill gets along so nicely in Congress, and believe he will do | what he can to push it through. As | the BEE's ‘“practical example” is sowr ewhat lame we desire to correct | it. The BEE intimates that inas much as the U. P. R. R. refused to submit to taxation, their lands were not taxed. This is not the case. ‘The lands are still taxed as if the Company had always paid, and the | resident and pon-resident land | owners pay no more tax than if the U, P, never (iueatloned the legality of the tax, If the Supreme Court of the United States should decide in favor of the U.

OMAHA AND THE TRUNK ROAD. We notice that the Omaha papers are talking Trunk railroad again. The Republican says it ought to be built this summer, shows that it would pay from the beginning, and calls on the commercial men of St. Louis to encourage the enterprise of | making a direct thoroughfare be- tween the rich agricultural regions of Nebraska and that eity. The pecple of Brownville and Nemaha county are sick and tired of hearing the promises, made but to be broken, of those who have been assuming to operate in construeting the Trunk | road. They have lost all confidence in these men, and all hope of reeai ing the road through their manage- ment, and are ready to encourage any new company who will take hold of the matier in a way that will imbue them with a hope “of its | speedy construction. city of Omaha will agitate the ma ter until something tangible is con- | summated, LINCOLN AND THE STATE FAIR.

Times, WHY TRADE IS DULL IN OMAHA. At present, we are told, that the retail business here is rather dull, but we begin to fear that the whole- sale trade fares likewise. One thing we feel Omaha wants, and that is connection with our county and North Nebraska. How is it possi- ble for her to be so blind in this in- | terest is beyond our conception. Had she, the North Western road completed to Sioux City, and tap the St. Paul road she would soon re- alize the fact that lumber and stone would be cheap enough to build with, and her old wooden buildings that now disgrace Farnham and Douglas streets, and her miserable | sidewalks would soon disappear, to | be replaced with good buildings and walks made from our fine granite stone. It surprises them very much to hear us claim that our coal fields are a decided success, and when we elaim that our coal can be laid down at from five to six dollars per ton, it looks unreasonable, nevertheless it | is true—and the sooner this place | realizes it the better for them.—Da- | kota City Mail. DOCTOR JOHNSTON AS A MONOPOLY CRUSHER. Mr. Harrison Johnston and two or three of his friends came down We hope the | | from Omaha last Saturday evening for the purpose of organizing an or. | der of the ‘“Co-operative Union of | Farmers and Mechanics.” We have | been unable to find out just what | was done by the gentlemen, but | think they did not organize a socie- | ty. Why, we cannot understand. | Butit is” evident to us_that the | country (especially Nebraska) | should sustain thirty or forty differ- ent organizations, the avowed ob- jeets of all of which should be to “down with monopolies and up with the people.” They should be organ- ized and run exclusively in the in- terest of a lot of defunct politicians who have been played out at least | ten years, during which time they | have not had where to lay their | head. And the beauty of the move- ment is the ease with which the subject is bandled. It necds no ar- | gument—in fact, there is none. Pre- Judice is the passion to be worked upon. Reason and hard, common sense are not needed. When the ora- are being too much work The Oldest Established BANKING HOUSE IN NEBRASKA. Caldwell, Hamilton & Co., Bafxanne.
