Tre true inwardness of the deter mined effort to get Sargent appointed at last secretary of the interior come to light A Washington dis patch to the Chicago Tribune tells the story briefly as follows A gentleman from the Pacific slope, who is perfectly familiar with the movements of the politicians there, said to-day: ‘‘There secms to be an impression that the great power which is pressing the president to ap point Sargent secretary of the inter jor is Senator Jones, of Nevada. know this is wmot so. While Mr. Jones desires the appointment of a Pacific coast man to the cabinet, and has tavored the nomination of Sar- gent, way down in his boots he would wuch perfer some other person from our region should get the place. The influence backing Sargent is the Cen- tral Pacific railroad. Questions are constantly arising in the interior de- partment as o tic indebtedness of the land grant railroads under the provisions of the Thurman act. The Central Pacific is now in arrears to the government, and it will be a great victory for the company if Sar- gent is appointed.” Tur eastern railroad trunk lines patched up their difliculties. The announsement is made that here- after the passenger trriff between Chicago and New York will be made on a basis of $20. There is universal complaint against this rate as being exorbitant, general opinion being that when passenger rates were restored they would be made on a basis ot §15, orone and a half cents a mile for through business between the lakes and thesea coast. It is pointed out that such a rate, owing to the in- creased tariff which it would stimu- late, would pay a handsome profit to the companies who have been selling tickets at this price for more than two years past while the rate now im- posed is higher than at any time since 1868. Within the last fourteen years the cost of passenger service on the trunk Jine has decreased fifty per cent. It remains to be seen whether this ex- orbitant tariff can be maintained for any length of time, and meantime its imposition only furnishes another argument for the enactment of a na- tional law protecting the public against such outrageous extortions at the hands of the railroad monopolies. have Tue attempt of the Council Bluffs Nonpareil to discourage the projeos- ors of the proposed wagon bridge be- tween Omaha and Council Blufts by downright misrepresentation is to say the least reprehensible, Every man, woman and child in both of these cit- ies knows that the present transfer is an embargo on the commercial and social intercourse between Omaha and Council Bluffs, By common consent it has been voted a public nuisance that must be abated as soon as pos- sible, The erection of a wagon bridge has become an absolute necessity. It will afford cheap, reliable and rapid transit betwoen the two cities and cannot 40 be of as much advantage to Coun- «il Bluffs as it will be to Omaha, Ac- cording to tke Nonpareil Omaha mer- «chants insist upon a bridgethat would cost twice as much on the Iowa side as on the Nebraska side of the river, The Omaha members of the confer- ence have made 0 such demand, On the cantrary they have come forward in good faith ready to subscribe their share of the stock withoutany attempt whatever o dictate how the bridge #hould be built. The Nonpareil tells us “‘that such a bridge s is propesed by Omah interests would be a very ox- pensive and uunecessary luxury for this eity and her people, and it can certainly be seen at a glance that j would be & very questionable enter- prise for Council Bluffs to engage in or endeavor to foster.” We presume that any projeet that would interfere with the Union Pacitic bridge monopoly would be regsrded as # questionable entevprise by the pa pers on both sides of the river that owe their livelihood to Union Pacific patronage. Fortunately, their mer cenary motives are well understood, and their attempt to obstruct the pro- jected bridge will not retard the un- dertaking, g | murderer GUITEAU SENTENCED Saturday's scene in the Washington district court was a fitting close to the 1 trial of the assassin of James A. Garfield. In the sentence which consigned Guiteau protra pronouncing to the gallows on the last day of June Cox took occasion te re- mduct of the case, the de and verdict of 0 | next, Juc view the ¢ fonse of the [ the jury prisoner I'he judge reminded the that, (trocity of his erime and the inten | popular excitement, he had as fair and impartial trial as has ever been ac orded to any man charged with the commission of a great crime. The forobearance exercised by the court in tolerating the black guardism of the prisoner and submit insolence and ting to the frequent interraptions that retarded the progress of the trial, were without parallel in the history of criminal trials The attempt of the defense to justify the dastardly murder of the president on the plea of insanity or insane in | spiration was not sustained by the evidedce. The conclusion of the jury that Guiteau was in a mental con- dition to discern right from wrong on the 2d of July was embodied in their verdict. Tt creditable to our civilization and the would have been more good name of this republic had the evidence sustained the protense that this assassination of the chief magis- trate of the nation was the work of an insane man, irrespousible for his act. The strongest witness for the prose- cution was the prisoner himself, and, as the judge very clearly points out, his own testimony controverted the theories of his counsel by showing calm deliberation in planning the | crime and a wilful impulse in its com- mission, Even in the solemn moment when sentence of death was pro- nounced against him the hideous in- golence of Guiteau could not bo restrained, and he poured out on judge and jurya torrent of abuse, calling down on their heads the course of the Almighty, to whose inspiration he attributed the cruel murder of the president. Itis a cause for general congratulaticn that the blasphemous wretch will not again be permitted to harangue the public from the court room. THE FATE OF DE LONG The latest news from the Jeanette party is sadly discouraging to the hopes of the friends of Licutenant De Long. Tho first authentic advices respecting the lost party in the second boat, which consisted of De Long and thirteen ofticers and men, has reached this country in a dispatch from Lieu- tenant Danenhower,*dated at Trkutak, on Tuesdny lnst. The first traces of De Long were found by Lieutenant Danenhower’s party while traveling south in their weary attempt to reach the mettloments on' the Lena river. In a deserted hut on the barren coast of Siberia a ‘‘cached” record was found in DeLong’s handwriting, dated October 1st, which shows that the whole party reached the abandoned village of Sagraph on September 28th with all its members alive but suffor- ing severely from frost bites and lack of food. At that time Lieutenant DeLong had only provisions for two days, but expressod the hope of secur- ing enough game to tide over the time until he reached the southern settlements. Later records were found by Lieut. Danerhower which told the story of terrible muffer- ings and the death of one of the crew on October 7th, Two days later the party being in great distross for want of food two of the men were sent ahead for relief and after march- g in the barren wilderness for fiftoen days they were found on October 24th, in a starving condition, by natives and carried to a settlement, where they wore heard from on October 20th by Lieutenant Danenhower. The dis- patch states that nothing further has been heard of Lieut. DeLong and his party and that all efforts for their re- lief had to be abandoned on account of the refusal of the natives to go onany further. On November 28th the search party returned to Balonenga to get Russian assistance and a large force is now engaged in searching through the barren steppes which stretched from the head of the delta of the Lena river to the coast. Four months have now elapsed since the last news of Lieuten ant DeLong's party was found by Lieutenant Danenhower and the fate of the lost mewmbers of the expedition would almost seem to be @ foregone conclusiou. With only two days pro- visions on hand, enfeebled by priva- tion and suffering and slowly dragging their way through a wilderness covered with snow and devoid of game there is little hope that any of the party have survived, Had they reached the settlements, information would by this time have come intd Irkutak, which is the telograph sta- tion nearest to Bt. Petersburg, 8till every effort is being made, both by Mr. James Gordon Bennett and the navy department, to ascertain the fate of the sufferers, Lieutenant Melville with a large search party is scouring the country west and north of Irkutsk; the Russian government has supplied a steamer o search along the banks of the river Lena and Secretary Hunt has detailed two of- notwithstanding wl‘.-; rik UMAHA DAiL} BEfiliI: MOX ficers of our navy to proceed at once to Siberia to aid in the search under of the Danenhower, the direct auspices navy de Lieutenant with one of his eyes other rapidly failing from his dread- ompelled partment ruined and the | ful sufferings which he was ordered to re with the party, ssly insane, and to undergo, has been turn to this country one of which is ho: allof whom are terribly shattered in health | The qyue n all which at tion forces itse | whether Arctic exploration the best is mere scientific | not paid for at a fearful uriosity, is and health, entirely incommensurate with the practical results obtained | The riddle of the more impossible of solution th Sphinx was not n the millions of treasure Tris rumored that The National Republican, of Washington, will shortly change hands, and fall into a company of republicans who desire to have an organ for President Arthur's administration that shall be free from the taint of star route frauds. Gor- ham is talked of as chief editor, but ivis more probable that he will be shifted and the place gi to Frank Hatton, the assistant postmaster gen- oral, and proprietor of the Burlington Hawkeye. That President Arthur will be a candidate in the republican convention of ‘84 can be set down as a settled fact —as settled as anything which is likely to occur in future, Cheyenne Loader. The National Ropublican never has been, is not now and never can be a national organ. Tt wields no greater influence in moulding the sentiment of the country than the vote of the District of Columbia in determining the election of a president. The Washington papers are purely local in their influenco and at best only voiee the views of the kitchen cabi- net. The Now York papers circulate more copies in Washington than any ono of the Washington papers, and even furnish the people of Washing- ton with their local news ahead of their papers. Nobody knows this better than President Arthur, and it will certainly be immaterial to his future prospects for the presiden cy whether Geo. edits the National Republican, or Frank Hat- of lives own orham ton. As a political thinker andagita- tor Gorham is immeasurcably supe- rior to Hatton, and so far as star Hatton has no advantage over Mr. Gorham. Tt might be a good thing to let Mr. Hatton try his hand as editor of a daily paper. His editorial experience was gained at the end of a pair of shears ou a rural weekly in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, His transfer to the Hawkeye was partly to oblige ex- Senator Harlan, and partly to reward him for politieal services rendered to the vice president of the Chicago & Burlington road, who had a controll- ing interest in the Hawkeye. Osten- sibly Mr, Hatton was the editor, but in reality he has done precious little to fill the editorial columuns, The roputation of the Hawkeye was made by Bob Burdette, and Hatton’s de- parture to Washington has lett no vacuum in any department of that journal, So much for the rumored transfusion of brains into the Na- tional Republican. The best advocate that President Arthur can have is a good administration, for which the re- putable press of the country will give him due credit. © Personal organs at the national capital or elsowhere can- not build wp popularity for an admin- istration, much less can they influenee the action of national conventions, routes are concerned Tue Chicago grand jury hasreported that gambling and disorderly houses can only bo suppressed with the co- operation of the mayor and police. We commend this remark to the Omaha Ropublican, which is urging the proprietor of the St. Elmoto keep less of a hell-hole and stop the riot- ing and robbery which disgrace his place. As Artemus Ward romarks: “It is true the leopard can't change his spots, but you can change them for him with a paint brush as 1 once did to a leopard of mine who wasn't naturally spotted in an attractive man- ner.” The question is, will the mayor use the paint brush, —_— WESTERN RAILROAD PROG- RESS. The past week has not developed many important movements in the railroad field. The dim shadows of coming events are discernable at sev- eral points in this and other states, but the arrival of settled spring weather will alone develop their mean- ing and oxtent. The B. & M. com- pany are preparing to build a branch to Nobraska City, having already se- possession of the boats and charter of the ferry company. As cured # town, this movement encountered obstacles in the shape of hoggish property owners, who slupped on the price as soon as the company selected asite for a depot.

The editor of the Pierce County | Call is a blue-blooded nihilist of the Lambertson stripe. Ho strikes out from the shoulder and the object of his wrath is the Elkhorn Valley road. This company, says the Call, refuscs to take cars of coal from the Union Pacific at Norfolk at less than t | dollars per car, “‘which, added to the freight will make it impossible for the ople off the line of the Union Pa fic to burn Wyoming coal. We will have to put up with the filthy stuff, composed of slate and gas, that the Elkhorn Valley road sces fit to dump down for us. There is one consola- tion that we have, however, that a few more acts like this will open the eyes of the people, and they will not be long in informing the railroad com- panies that the state can control them and will in such a way that will make them squirm. They only need a little more rope to effectually hang them- selves,” The rivalry between Blair and De- catur for the bridge over the Missouri continues. The engineer in charge, Mr. Morrison, who has located the bridges at Kansas City, Plattsmouth and Bismarck, is decidedly in favor ot the Blair crossing. The bed rock was found there from forty to fifty feet below the surface of the water, and it will cost no more to protect the banks at Blair than Decatur. A crossing of some kind will have to be maintamed at Blair, even if the river is bridged at Decatur, and a bridge at the latter point would make necessary an entire change in the Sioux City & Pueific systom. The Central Branch of the Union Pacific is vigorously squeezing the lemons in Nuckolls. The managers have secured sufficient contributions trom the people to pay for the prelim- inary survey, and have now disguised themselves under the name of the Nebraska Central railroad company. They propose to build into Nuckolls county immediately, and during the season run a rainbow road to the Niobrara river, provided the people along the route consent to be bled sufficiently. The extension of the Omaha & St. Paul road to Norfolk is within six miles of the town. The gap will be covered in ten days. Doniphan business men gave $600 to the A. & N. road to touch that place. Doniphan county gave £200,- 000 provided the road would operate White Cloud road has been stations at Doniphan, and Troy.

About fifteen dwelling houses have been built, be- sides two merchandise storves, four saloons, two chop houses, a black- smith shop and a hurdy house. Two hundred men are at work on the rail- road bridge and spproaches at this point. The bridge consists of four spans, three of timber and one of iron, the latter directly over the main fall. | The timber spans were prepared in Omaha and shipped to that point.

In a few weeks the stockholders will be ready to sell out at any price. The Central will take a hand about this time in buying the stock at one-fourth its value. Presently symptoms of embarrassment will be felt, the price of coal will go up to the old figure, and Ogden will suddonly relapse into the old rut with a dull thud—a wiser and poorer pro pinquity. | The Helena Herald furnishes some from afar interesting and inskructive figures in connection with the construction, op- of the Utah & The grad eration and business Northern narrow gauge. ing, ironing and equipping of the line has cost less than 8,000 a mile.
