Se— Nowrri Omaha demands and ought to have a substantial sewer down the creek. Ax accurate French journalist speaks of the president as Monsieur Arthur Chester. Broobep cattle have decreased in price. Voting cattle are firm, with a rising tendency. 8r. Louis is disgusted with her Ma- cadamized streets, and yet St. Louis never possessed a Farnham street. INDIANA wants a cabinet officer, In- diana gave us a Colfax and Tyner and ought to take a back seat for a fow years, WHEN it comes to a point where an answer must be given to the question “‘The railroads or the people?” it will not take long to eolve the conun- drum. Mississiper fnsionists are confident of defeating the Bourbons, This is one of the firat fruits of Mahone's ex- ample in Virginia. Tothe fusionists belong the spoils. As the cold blasts of winter ap- proach we are involuntarily reminded that Omaha ought to have a Union depot where_travelers could find shel- ter from the inclemency of Nebraska zephyrs. CorNwALLIS has surrendered. The revolutionary war is over, and the senate of these United States is about to resume its dreary sessions with the ponderous independent-greenback party in the chair. Praxs are in contemplation for four new business blocks on Farnam street, which will do much to fill up the ugly eaps in our main business street. Omaha needs morefour and five story brick and stone buildings. E———— TuERE is & movement on foot to se- cure the removal of Mr. Defrecs, the present government printer, on the ground of his past political affiliations. The actusl ground is probably becauso some pure-minded patriot seos a political plum in the great govern- ment printing office which Mr. De- frees redeemed from disgrace. Tue increase of American invest- ments held by Englishmen is causing an influx of gold into this country which is seriously alarming British financial journals, Last week $2,- 069,300 in gold arrived at New York. The Bank of England is about to raise its discount rate in order to CREDIT MOBILIER PrILADELPIIA, Pa., October 19.— In the United States court to-day an order was made authorizing Olivor Ames, receiver of the credit mobilier of America to execute unto Thos. C. Durant, president of the oredit mobilier a full and .omplete release of all demands against him by credit mobilier upon the execution and de- livery by r)umnt of a proper legal conveyance of real estate m’lm\ta_vl near Council Bluffs, Towa, amounting to about 320 acres and lands in Platt county, Nebraska, Here we have another chapter of credit mobilier that will interest some of the old settlers of Omaha and Ne- braska. It is now nearly cighteen years since Durant and the credit mobilier gang of highwaymen invaded this scction of the country. With a land grant covering an empire and princely subgidics amount- ing to thirty millions, they deliberate- ly sot about to bleed, bulldoze and blackmail the inhabitants of every town and village through which their road was to pass, Thus Omaha was bled and blackmailed out of a cool million in lands, lots and bonds, and thus Columbus, the future capital of America on George Francis Train's map, was cajoled into donating half her town lots to the Credit Foncier ring, which practically was the inside ring of the credit mobilier ring. Tom Durant recklessly squandered the millions he acquired in his credit mobilier operations, but the late la- mented Oakes Ames, whose monu- ment adorns the crest of the Rocky mountains,—and Sherman—put his money where it did the most good. ‘Wo are gratified to notico that the heirs of this great and good man have finally consented to quitclaim Durant for all the claims that the credit mo- bilier may have against him on condi- tion that Durant makes a legal con- veyance of his illegally acquired Council Bluffs depot grounds and his half section near Columbus, in Platte county. AN EXTENSIVE SYSTEM. The recent visit of the railroad offi- cials of the C., B. & Q. to Denver has resuled in some important move- ments on the railway checker board. It is announced that the Burlington route to Denver will be pushed with all possible speed from both ends of the line. Work will be at once be- gun on the Colorado division of the road at Denver, and will continue eastward until the contractors now working in the Republican valley westward are met and the two ends of the line join, The open- ing of the Union Pacific's new Julesburg line to Denver has stimulated the Burling'on officials to use every effort in hastening the entrance of their system into the cen- tennial state, and neither time nor means will be spared towards the ac- complishment of this end. This is news of great importance to our state, and especially to she republican val- ley. It indicates that the entire line will be completed and in running cr- der by the middle of June of next year, by which time through trains will be tun from Chicago to Denver, and a competing line will afford new benefits to the producers of the west. The new road will be twenty miles shorter than any existing line, not excepting the Julesburg ‘‘cut off’ of the Union Pacific. The grades will be easy and the road-bed throughout equal to that of the Burlington system in Towa. Up to the present time the proposed locationof the Republican Valley route into Denver has boen carefully con- cealed from the public by the manage- ment. Various surveys have beeit made of available routes entering the capital of Colorado from both north and south, but the exact line finally adopted has not been published. From the best authority Tur Bee is enabled to give the line which is now under oontract as fol- lows. ¥rom Culbertson west the road will be built toold Fort Morgan in Arapahoe county, Colorado, taking a tangent in a northwesterly direction prevent any further decrease in its ro- serve. Tur removal of Mr. Tyner from the ‘post oftice departmeut is in the line of the reform inaugurated by President Garfield, and which resulted in the overturning of the starroute ringsters. Mz, Tyner could scarcely have been ignorant of the corruption which was in progress in the deportment of which he was ono of the heads. ‘Whether or not his active participation in the postal frauds can be proved, his removal will be generally com- mended. If he was honest but ignor- ant, he was plainly inefficient, and if he was dishonest, the sooner he fol- lows Brady into court the better. Tux bureau of statistics has pub- lished its report for September, and the eight months previous. The sta- tistics clearly show the effects of speculative corners in restricting the export of breadstuffs, There is a de- crease in all the exports for Septem- ber, excopt onts. In wheat and corn the decrease is 8,000,000 bushels, and for the eight months 42,402,000 bushels, ‘This is the result of the speculation which for months past has locked up 1 the elevators at Chicago millions of bushels of grain, and has blocked the weels of trade throughout the country in one of its most import- wnt branches. and varying from a due west and ‘east line about thirty miles. The diver- gence is caused by the difficulty ex- perienced in crossing the divides of tributaries of the republican river which will be left'to the south. From old Fort Morgan the line strikes southwesterly to Denver which is distant nearly ninety miles, and which will be entered from the north, 'The entire lino as surveyed is said to be very free from heavy grades, and can be readily kopt in repair. The through route at present will be by way of Plattsmouth, Lincoln, Hastings and Red Cloud, but in the future, should the necessities of busi- ness demand it, a change may be made which will shorten the distance some thirty miles, Under this plan & cut-off from the main line of the B. & M. will be made at a point west of Hastings, and a line built to a point on the Republican Valley road west of Red Oloud and in the vicinity of Arapahoe Thic “‘cut of” will form a portion of the main line of the Burlington route to Denver, saving over an hour in time and shortening the distance nearly thirty miles over that by way of Hastings and Red Cloud. This will give new railroad fied with this outlet alone, have nearly completed this southern Nobraska system from Nemaha city wostward to a junction with the western division of the Republican valloy road. The new railroad in northwostern Missouri, articles of in- corporation for which were filed last weck in Atchison, will be the natural eastern connection with this line, fur- nishing a through route from Burling- ton Junction on the Chariton branch of the main line of the C., B & Q. to Denver by way of the Republican val- When the Missouri river is bridged at Nemaha city, as it is certain to be at no late day the value of this inde- pendent line across southern Ne- braska can scarcely be overestimated. Railroad construction between rival lines has become tn these days a bat- tle of giants, and it is very evident that the Burlington officials do not intend to take a low place in the lists of contestants tor western trade and traffic. ley railroad. ——— A pisearcH from Chicago announces that Manager A. E. Touzalin of the Burlington & Missouri railroad has boen elected first vice president of the Chicagn, Burlington and Quincy sys- tem. Mr. Touzalin has accepted the position and will shortly remove to Boston from which point he will direct the policy of the Burlington system. The office of vice president to which he succeeds has beon occupied for a number ot years past by Mr. C. E. Perkins of Burlington, who fifteen years ago was general superintendent of the old B. & M. in Towa when Mr. Touzalin was general ticket agent of that corporation. Since that time Mr. Touzalin has been constantly con- nected with the Burlington interest with the exception of a fow years during which timo he built up the land grant of the Santa Fe road as the land commissioner of that system. Rumors of the impending resignatian of Mr. John Forbes of the Burlington and the prometion of Messrs. Perkins and Tonzalin were presented in the Bee nearly two months ago and emphatically affirmed after the managemont of the Santa Fe system was offered to and declined by Mr. Touzalin. Mr. Touzalin’s briiliant qualities as a railroad manager have not found full scope in Omaha, al- though his direction of the finances and policy of the Burlington & Mia- souri River Railroad in Nebraska has been marked by great success. With the consohdation of the line with the Burlington system it was generally felt that he would be called up higher and the election of _Wodnes- day is the result, Mr. Touzalin’s new duties will call him away from Omaha, and will lose to our city one of its most popular, public spirited and enterpris- ing residents. During his residence in Omaha, Mr. Touzalin has made many friends and has retained them all. He has been foremost in a num- ber of plans for the improvemeut of our city and has spent money liberally in furtherance of his ideas, = His de- parture will be felt as a personal loss by a lar,e circle of friends and will be universally regretted by the com- raunity at large, Mgr. ScoviuLe, brother-in-law and counsel for Guiteau, has a very heavy contract on his hands. Mr. Scoville will not succeed in proving that Presi- dent Garlield's death was due to mal- practice rather than to the wound in- flicted by Guiteau. While there was a good deal of sharp criticism in va- rious quarters of the treatment of the presideut's case, it was criticism based on a supposition not sustained by the post-mortem examination. - The opin- ion expressed to young' Garfield after his father's death, by Dr, Hamilton, that all that science and skill could do, prompted by the most loving in- terest, to prolong the precious life, will undoubtedly stand as the opinion of the most intelligent sur- goons of our country andof the world. Guiteau's only hope of essape from the attentions of the hangman rest upon the plea of insanity. But even here, however successful Mr, Scoville may be proving insanity to be in the femily and run in the Guiteau bleod, he will encounter the fact that Gui- teau, since the shooting, has given. no evidence of being beside himself men- tally. On the contrary, he has shrewd- ly managed his own case, and scouts the idea of being insane. He was methodical and calculating in seeking an opportunity to commit the infamous deed, taking in all the circumstances beforehand, and providing for his own immediate safe- ty from the infuriated people, who,he knew, woald have torn him limb from limb in their righteous indignation, Tn all this ho calculated nicely and carefully, and it will be difficult to bring a jury of twelve intelligent men to believe him to have been so disor- dered mentally as to be relieved of either legal or moral responsibility for his act. —— Tue Noew York Zimes commenting on the increasing use of rubber and the great consumption of the article wonders where it all goes to, In Ne- braska a large awmount is used in the facilitios to the counties of Adams, Kearney, Harlan and Furnas, But, ltho Burlington officials, not satis- manufacture of politician’s consciences. — Warner's Safe Kidney and Live Cure, 17 OCCIDENTAL JOTTINGS, OCALIFORNIA, The #hipments from the Bodie mines average 0008 week. .

The annual assessment on the stock of the Comstock mines now reach $8,000,000 » year. At the Nevada state fair there wasa ladies’ riding tournament, four horse races and a baby show. Seven acres of wheat at Lake View, near Reno, yielded 510 bushels of grain, lacking one bushel of being seventy-three bushels to the acre.
