SENATOR MAHONE is o manof un- ~ doubted courage, but he evidently does not propose to be caught in the Bourbon dueling net simply to afford his enemies an opportunity to test it. MuraT HALSTEAD says that it is the misfortune of Indiana republicans that the proprietor of their organ is afllicted with the itch for office, which makes him at times a very unsuccess- ful organ grinder. This is an old hit in a New place, and might be success- fully applied to some Towa and Ne- braska railroad mouth: Tae political Calderon is boiling over in Peru. Commander Lynch of the Chilian forces, discovered a con- spiracy to rob the victors of the spoils, and forthwith decapitated the presi- dential pretender, Garcio Calderon. Millions of dollars of counterfeit bonds, engraved and printed in the United States, flooded the country, and all members of the ring were about te secure a huge harvest of ill- gotten gains when Lynch law was proclaimed. Gen. Hurlbut, of Il- linois, the American minister, impru- dently assailed the conduct of the Chilians, and went beyond the bounds of his office in supporting Garcio and his followers, The military will now rule until the indemnity is paid. Theso are Chili days for the poor Peruvians. Kansas is already deeply agitated over the senatorial campaign of next yoar. The issue in Kansas, as in Ne- braska, will be between the railroads and the people, and the vutlook is that next year the people will have a voice in the selection of their sena- tors. Senator Plumb, whose term expires in 1883, is of course a candi- date for re-election. He is a man of very small calibre, but of very big purse. He will have the backing of the Kansas railroads, and Jay Gould behind him, but such backing does not always insure succoss, It failed in Nebraska last winter, and it almost failed in Kansas at the same time. Senator Ingalls, the railroad candi- date, was beaten in the republican <caucus and only re-elected by a ma- Jjority of one vote, Windom's suc- cess in Minnesots, in spite of com- bined railroad opposition, also shows the way the wind blows this year, —— Ir is stated on good authority that $1,800,000 in unclaimed money or- ders have accumulated during the past seventeen years, and are now on deposit at the New York sub-treasu- xy. These losses of remittances occur in various ways. Somotimes the per- son sending the remittance does not notify the person to whom the money is sent; sometimes the sender dves not inclose the order; again, perhaps, the sender cannot himself be tound when the government attempts to reach him for the correction of error or the ro- turn of the money. From one or the other of these causes §100,000 is annu- ally paid into the postoffice which “fails of delivery, This apparently large sum scems small when the total value of remittances by money order is considered. These amount to $100,000,000 annually, making the loas to the public less than one dollar in $1,000, or one mill ou & dollar, TYNER AND HATTON. Genoral Tyner is trying to unload his star aoute troubles on Old Granny Key. The truth is Tyner was de- facto postmaster-general for four years while the robberies were gomg on; had he been disposed to put a stop to these swindling operations he could have done 8o at any time. Tyner claims to have made a writ- ten report about Brady's crooked 0 the route investigation was begun, but he transactions months before star says his repprt was pigeon holed by Key. If this was really true it does not exculpate Gen. Tyner forfailing to place this information into the hands of Mr. James when into office and he should not be allowed to plead the baby act as an excuse for his failing to give vigorous support to James in his prosecutions ot the star route thieves, This is the common] sense view which President Arthur should take of the case, and if he earnstly desires the reforms inaugurated by Mr. James he will bo compelled to let Mr. Tyner go. Itis to be hoped, however, that Genoral Tyner's successor will be a min whose ability and experience in public life will insure efficiency and honesty in the administration of the postoftice department. A man who in an emergency can take the place of the postmaster general himself. 1f President Arthur has any desire to supplant Mr. Tyner by such a man he will have to drop Frank Hatton who claims to have the inside track, Mr. Hatton might possibly fill a position as the secretary or chiof clerk of General Tyner, but he is utterly incompetent and unfit for an execu- tive office, besides being unreliable and venal. His editorial ability is vastly overrated. The Burlington Hawkeye, of which he is nominally the editor, made its reputation through Burdette and sinco the ad- vent of Hatton it is steadily on the down road. Hatton himself has writ- ton very little for it and his local in- fluence was demonstrated two weeks ago when his county—always repub- lican —went democratic mainly for the want of faith in Hatton's leadership. The only influence behind Hatton is the railway corporation that owns the Hawkeye, and his business at Washington during congressional ses- sion has beon chietly as the lobbyist of that corporation, By persistent office begging he was nade postmaster of Burlington a year ago, but while he draws pay as post- master with great regularity, he knows no more about the active postal ser- vice at Burlington than he does about the active service of the postmaster of New York. If Hatton had to depend upon his personal exertions and ability as a journalist, he would still be editing a second rate weekly in Mt. Pleasint, he came Placed in General Tyner's shoes, he would prove an numitigated failure. THE OPERA HOUSE Every citizen of Omaha is interest- ed in the opening of Boyds opern house which takes place this evening. For the first time in her history as a city Omaha can boast of a metropoli- tan theater, in which her people may soek amusement with comfort and safety, and which, in convenience, eleo- gance and appointments, takes its place among the best of the country. First, and most important of all, the new opera house is safe, Its sub- stantial construction by which the weight of a crowded auditorum] is transferred from the side walls of the building to the broad foundation walls which underlie every part of the structure affords o cortain guarantee against accident. The exits provided are ample and judiciously distributed 80 that the whole houso can be emptied in three minutes without fear of panic. Broad doors opening outward and leading to still broader staircases, separate exits for stage, orchestra and gallery and generous hose and fire plug ar- rangements throughout every depart- ment and floor will afford a sense of security without which no perfor- mance can be satisfactorily enjoyed by 8 largo audience, In its extorior and interior awpointments our operahouse ~-for Omaha claims a share in t& property—will bear comparison with any in the country. Other theatres may display a more lavish expenditure of wealth on floors and ceiling, but we venture the assertion that in no place of amusement in the country is the con- venience and comfort of the audience better provided for, The rare taste which is everywhere mani- festod in the seating arrangements, frescoing and upholstering tho genial warmth of decoration without, the shoddy display so common in struc- tures of this kind have been fully la d before our readers in the detailed description published in our local col- umns, Boyd't opbra house is a place of amusement of which our aity may wellbe proud Omaha is to be congratu= lated on the possession of such a building and still more upon the en- terprise and publicspirit of the citizen who erected it. With the opening of the new opera house our city may expect a better class of entertainments than those which have visited them during the last few years, Omaha is & theatre- going and music-loving community, Tts reputation in these respects is well known in managerial circles, and now that her new and elegant opera house offers increased inducements for firat class theatrical combinations, our citi- zons will, without doubt, be afforded the opportunity to witness the best. Midway between New York and San Francisco, on the great overland route across which the most distinguished actors are periodically Omaha will now be soughtas a resting place on a long journey where a mot ropolitan theatre and an appreciative audience will unite to make the pro duction of the best dramas by the best actors both pleasing and profitable. traveling, Tux reports circulated some time ago that Capt. Eads' jetties at the mouth of the Mussissippi were a fail- ure and its channel was shoaling ero- ated surprise and alarm in the west, and the merchants’ exchange of St. Louis appointed a committee to in- vestigate the case and report on the truth of the rumors, The committee, composed of leading business men, have made a thorough investigation, and report that the channel of twenty- six fect in depth and 200 feet wide has been and still is fully maintained; that it is permanent, and broad and deep enough for the largest mer- chant vessels afloat. Tt very emphatically denies the reports of shoaling, and intimates that their publication was secured to the great detriment of the interest of Missis- sippi valley commerce. This full and satisfactory report will be received with gratification throughout the west. The value ddded to the productions of the great basin of the Mississippi by the open- ing of the mouth bf the river cannot be over-estimated. Every year since he tims when Capt. Eads announced the completion of his work, and large ocean vessels entered the Mississippi through the South Pass, the grain shipments by way of New Orleans and the gulf have shown a rapid and steady increase. Tho success of the undertaking has stimulated discussion of the great question of river improve- ment throughout the west until it has become a prominent topic of consider- ation in every leading journal in this section of country. Eastern ports of entry have felt the influence of the river route as the current of trans- portation, which we were informed na- ture had set in a due easterly and westerly course, has changed its di- rection and sent off a strong tidesouth towsards the sea. With Minnesota shipping her wheat direct to Glas- gow by way of New Orleans and lines of barges from southern I1- linois, Missouri and Iowa adding their quota of traflic to the river route, even the railways have felt compelled to face a problem which in the near future threatenes to assume proportions which may seriously af- fect their dividend paying power. It was doubtless on this account that that the success of the jetties caused the malicious reports concerning their condition to be circulated in eastern papers, with a view of diverting from the river route a traftic which was be- gianing to injure its rivals by rail. The ITerald again desires to remark that its circulation equals the com- bived circulation of any two of its contemporaries between the Miesouri river and the Rocky mountains,— Omaha Herald. For sublime cheek and shameless impudence the Herald beats all the newspapers between Maine and Mex- ico. No other paper in America would dare to resort to such barefaced musrepresentation about its circula- tion as a means of procuring patron- age. Only a few months ago, when the city council asked for advertising bids, the Herald was offered’ an op- portunity to compare circulations; but it did not submit a bid. As a matter of fact, Tur PBee circulates 4,600 dailies, while the Heruld circu- lates less than 1,800, and Tur Ber circulates over 12,000 weeklies while the Herald circulates less than one thousand. In Omaha Tue Bk de- livers and sells four papers where the Herald circulates one. And yet the Herald has the effrontery to boast that its circulation equals the ton.- bmed circulations of any two papers between the Missouri and the Rockics. We venture to assert furthermore that the Herald does not possess the facilities to print the editions of the daily and weekly Bee with its present printing presses. Among Omaha printers, where it is known that Tue Bee printed on one of Hoes latest improved double cylinders nearly ex- hausts the full capacity of that press, the} protense that the Herald with double the circulation of any paper west of the Missouri can get along with a Potter drum oylinder will seem decidedly preposterous, But the Herald's frequent boasts about its circulation are not intended for local effect, where our merchants know the relative merits of ourdailies, bt for the foreign advertisers, who can readily be gulled into a belief that the Herald is the most widely circu- Iated paper in the west. It the Herald had simply been content with claiming a large circulation, we should have passed its efiort to procure money under false pretenses with silence, but when it secks to secure patronage by misrepresenting other publications that have four or five times ita circulation, we feel bound to expose its mendacity. NEBRASKA'S CEREALS. The census office has issued its bul- letin on the cereal production of the United States, as returned at the cen sus of 1880, and in a pamphlet of thirty-five - pages of closely printed tables, make an exhibit of the yield of wheat, rye, corn, oats and buck- wheat in every county in the country. The report is especially interesting for purposes of and contains figures Nebraska Among the thirty-cight states and eight territories from which the cereal productions are reported, Nebraska stands fifth in the amount of her bar- ley crop, seventh in corn, eighth in rye and oleventh in oats. The total production of all cereals in Nebraska, as reported in the census bulletin, amounted to 86,040,913 bushels, di- vided as follows: Corn, 1,630,660, 65,450,135 bushels; wheat, acrenge 1,400,805, 13,847,007 bushels; 50,457, 6,665,875 bush- comparison of be ashamed. some which need nc acreage oats, acreage ols; barley, eereage 115,201, 1,744,686 bushels; rye, 34,207 acres, 424,348 bushels; buckwheat 1,666 acres and 17,5662 bushels. In tho production of corn the states of Illinois, Towa, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky have precedence over our own state in the order named. The barley producing states which report a greater crop than our own are California, New York, Wis- consin and Indiana. Rye is produced in larger quantities than in Nebraska in the following states: Pennsylvania, Iilinois, Wisconsin, New York, Iowa, Kentucky and Missouri. Illinois leads in wheat, follomed by Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Min- nesota, Towa, Missouri, Wis- consin, Pennsylvania ‘and Kansas. Among the counties of Nebraska Cass leads in corn, with a production, as given by the census report, of 4,312,- 032 bushels raised on 97,901 acres. Lancaster county is placed second, with 92,650 acres and a production of of 4,128,866 bushels, closely followed by Saunders, with 87,601 acres and 4,108,655 bushels. Richardson, Otoe and Nemaha counties succeed in the order named. The wheat crop of Clay county, which headed the wheat producing counties of this state, was 892,035 bushels, and the acreage 86,411 acres. York stands next with 77,720 acres and 789,183 bushels. Gillmore is credited with 75,025 acres in wheat and 785,809 bushels, and Saunders with 75,676 acres and 784,829 bushels. Reports from various western coun- ties give a very light éropof both wheat and corn. The season which has elapsed since these statistics were gathered has shown in a bright light the capacity of our fron- tier counties for both wheat and corn production under urusually unfavora- blo conditions, and had the figures of this year's acreage been compiled al- though the crop fell far below the average Harney, Buffalo and Sherman counties would have very, clearly maintained their claim to be classed with the eastern portion of the state cereal producers. MINING is by no means the most profitable industry of Colorado. Cat- tle raising has bécome a more reliable source of wealth in the centennial state than digging for silver and gold. According to the secretary of the Col- orado cattle growers association, this has been the best and most profitable yearinthe history of Colorado, In spite of the severe winter there have been more beeves raised in Colorado this year than ever before; while prices of beef are much higher and the profits consequently greater. A close estimate places the number of cattle raised in Colorado this year at 135,- 000, valued at uot less thau 4,000,- 000, which is $1,600,000 more than any other single years production, The improved facilities for transpor- tation have materially improved the business of stock raising in Colorado, and the outlook for the future has never heen as good asnow, What is true of stock raising in Colorado is also applicable to Montana, Wyoming and western Nebraska. THE nomi and assured elec- tion of William Windom as senator from Minnesota will be received with pleasure by men of all parties through- out the country. The record of his admirable management of the finan- ces will go down to history as one of the most remarkable achievements of our treasury departinent. In the short space ot seven months through Mr. Windom's bold and novel finan- cial operations over one hundred and five millions of dollars worth of bonds have been re- deemed or have ceased tobear interest. The annual interest charge has been reduced by the redemption of theso bonds over five millions and a quarter, while the further yearly sav- ing of ton millions and a half has been sooured by the continuance of the 5 and 6 per cent bonds at 3} per cent. Apart from his record as a financier, Mr. Windom is known as a man of clear judgment, sound and practical views and outspoken in his senti- ments, For many years a resident of the northwest he has grappled with the transportation question and studied its bearings upon the corporations and the people. He has fearlessly declared himself in fa- vor of state and national regulation of railways, the restriction of pooling the prohibition of stock watering and the strict accuntability of corporations to the people: These important topies will soon force themselves upon the floor of the senate and it is a sat- isfaction to believe that they will taen have advocate be bought over by the lobby or bribed to his views upon a subject an who cannot concenl which is strongly in need of honest and fearless advocates in the national congress, “WEg, too, are in favor of a free vote and a fair count,” said a Missis- sippi orator a few days ago.

In Which the Events of the Week are Collected for the “Bee's” Readers. The “Entre Nous” Open their Series —Surprise Parties in Various Parts of the City—Social Notes and “Polite Personalities.” The week has been a particularly busy one in social circles. Surprise parties scem to have been the order of the day no less than five having occur- red. The event of the weck was the German of the ‘ENFRE NOUS.” ‘'he ““Entre Nous” club held the opening German of their season on Friday evening at the residence of Mr, W. A. Sharp. Thesummer's vacation has brought few changes to this flour- ishing crganization, which contains in its somewhat contracted membership, many of our most popular society gen- tlemen. Those who met on Friday evening were on this account prepared for a thoroughly enjoyable evening, and it is needless to say that their re- alization in no mauner fell short of the expectation. Hoffmann’s revised orchestra furn- ished the music and by common con- sent excelled their record. Thefavors which were obtained in Chicago were especially pretty and a cool evening and pleasant surroundings made danc- ing particularly enjoyable. Mr. Moses Barkalaw and Miss Ida Sharp led the figures. Those present were: J. C. Sharp and Miss Etta Wells, A. Remington and Miss Lou Ijams, Geo. E. Jewett and Miss Carrie Ijams, Chas. McCormick and Miss Mora Bal- combe, Robt. Garlichs and Miss Aldie Berlin, N. N. Crary and Miss Mattie Sharp, Moses Barkalow and Miss Ida Sharp, W. A. Redick and Miss Hoyt of Utica, Will Wilbur and Miss Lottie Congdon of Chicago, Will McMillan and Miss Grace Chambers, J, R. Leh- mer and Miss Mamie Woods. TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY, A pleasant surprise party was given on Monday evening to Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wells at their residence on Twenty-third street by a number of the young people of the immediate vicinity. Almost impromptu as the affaic was all the arrangements were carried out with great success and to the gratification and enjoyment of all who participated. Excellent orches- tral music was furnished by Steinhau- ser. Those present were Newt Bark- alow and Miss Love of Keokuk, Theo. Ringwalt and Mrs. Hall, Chas. E. Beach and Miss Doane, John Ringwalt and Miss Johnson, of Keokuk, Robert Morris and Miss Wakely, W. B. Scott and Miss Ring- walt, Geo. Savage, Will Wakely and Guy Doane. BIRTHDAY SURPRISE. As surprise parties seem to have been the order of the week it was not to be wondered at that Charlie McCormick was made the recepient of one of these pleasant testimonials on the occasion of the anniversary of his birthday. The party which was very informal was gotten up by Miss Woodie McCormick from among the intimate friends of the sur- prised individual. Those present were Mose Barkalow and Miss Carrie ljunu, George Jewett and Miss Lou Tjams, J. C. SBharp and Miss Htgh of tica, Nate Crary and Miss Grace Chambers, Will A, Redick and Miss May Wood, A, Remington and Miss Mora Balcombe, Will Morriss and Miss Rustin, Will McMillan snd Miss Belle Jewett, Robert Garlichs and Miss Daisy Jowett. AT BARATOGA. Miss Mary Willet was the recipient of a vry pleasant surprise last even- ing at her home on Saurders street, a few of her many friends took posses- sion of her home and made merry un- til the small hours, Dancing formed the principal amusement. Supper was served -at 11:30, Among those present were Miss Lilla Smith, Miss Ahcev Rlnu_m, Miss Clara Albee, Miss Jeunie Wright, Miss Nellie Munson, Miss Flora Smith, the Misses Hattic, Fannie and Carrie Jones, Mr, and Mrs. Mathis, Mr. and Mrs. Barnard, Mr, qml Mrs. Colling, Mr, aud Mrs, .lg.nl\ln}un.

The Imperial club has rented Ma- sonic hall for its series of parties, dates for which have been sct as fol- lows: October 26, November 9, No- vember 26 and December 9, The Im- erial will give its opening party on Wednesday evening, when a pleasant and enjoyable meeting may be ex- pected. The marriage of Dean Millspaugh to Mrs. Hambleton, daughter of Bishop Clarkson, which took place on Wednesday morning at Trinity cathe- dral, has boen already noticed in these columns, The wed- ding was charming], informal but none the less impressive from its informality. The bride was marriod in traveling suit and hat, and imme- diately after the ceremony took the train for Minnesota. The happy cou- ple stood at the chancel under a hand. some arch of flowers and trailing vines, and the desk and altar also bore these simple yet tasteful evidences of friendly regard. On their return from Minnesota, Dean and Mrs. Mills- paugh will take up their abode in the handsome residence crected for them on the bishop’s premiscs on St. Mary’s avenue, The first social of the fall and win- ter series of the Union Catholic library association, at their rooms Tuesday evening, was a pleasant success. The exesciges for the most part were im- promptu, consisting of vocal and in- strumental music, readings and reci tations, These charming entertain- ments will occur once a month at least, and possibly every two wecks, during the winter. A wedding anniversary surprise party greeted Judge Hawes on Friday when he went home to dinner. Thir« teen ladies sat down to a Joaded table, and mutual congratulations were the order of the day. Judge and Mra, Hawes have been married seventeen years. The Standard club held their second party of the season on Wednesday at Standard hall. A large number were in attendance, and with delightful music and the usual excellent supper a 1111050 enjoyable evening waa the re- sult. On Thursday evening an informal little party was held at the residence of Mr. Geo. B. Harris. Rumor has it that the weddding of a prominent telegraph officer in this city will be one of the events of the near future. The residence of the newly wedded pair will be on upper Dodge street. Trinity choir assisted by Miss Fannie Arnold, soprano, Miss Alice Hall, contralto, Mr. Edward Dexter, tenor, and Mr. Frank Walker, baretone, will give a parlor concert on Saturday evening next at the residence of Mrs. Helen Beal on Davenport street, be- tween 19th and 20th.
