Every unearned acre of land now claimed by the monopolies ought to revert to the government in trust for the people of the United States, THE city council must not allow Mr. ‘Snyder’s market house propos tion to slumber in the committee pigeon hole. Omaha needs a market and is determined to have one. —_— TrE persecution of August Arndt has injured the corporations in the estimation of the farmers of this state to a degree which the railroad man- agers are slow to acknowledge. Winniam M. Baker, author of “His Majesty Myself,” is writing a sequal to it for “Our Continent.” ‘The sequel will be entided “Thirl- more,” who again appears as a central figure in a very absorbing story. Tue city council probably feels re- lieved at the compromise of the rail- road companies over the Jackson street right of way trouble. It has saved a vote aud no one stands com- mitted. Tue fluctuation in stocks and grains still continues and the market shows signs of weakness. Something is go- ing to drop very shortly and a good many peopleare liable to get hurt unless they stand from under. Imiis suggested that Mr. Cnnk’flu will run for congressman-nt-large from New York state under the new apportioument, His friends claim that his personal popularity in the state will carry' him through with a heavymajority. Tre house committee on education and labor has reported favorably the anti-Chinese immigration bill intro- duced by Mr. Page, of California. California still echoes the slogan of Dennis Kearney. The Chinese must go. Par ‘O’Hawes is in Washington working for his share in that contin- gent congressman pie. As Pat fur- nished all the facts and figures upon which Tom Majors is prosecuting his claim he doesn’t propose to be left when that little appropriation is passed around, T destruction of the manufactur- ing portion of the town of Haverhill, Mass., by fire, will be a serious blow to the shoe making industry of the country for some months to come, Twentyive millions of property is reported as.consumed by the flames, and thousands of operatives are thrown out of employment. SeNator Lapmam denounces ag false the report that he was about to make the trousered Dr. Mary Walker clerk of the senate commuttee on female suffrage. He says that from the hour the report was published he was overwhelmed with protestations and denuneiations from every section of the coumtry, until he was nearly distracted. ¥ ——— Mavor Bovo has given Omaha a magnificeut opera house. Inaddition he has given our theatse going people THE APPORTIONMENT (BILL. The new apportionment bill as passea by the house of representa- tives on Friday has been considered by the senate committee, and will be favorably reported to-day to that body for passage. Under it's provisions the house for the next ten years will consist of 326 members with such additions as may admission of new states to the union. The entire in- creaso of mombers of congress under tho new apportionment is thirty-five, of which ensue from the nineteen will be elected from states which are reckoned as republican, The New England states lose three representatives, all of which would probably have been republican, leaving a net gain of sixteen members on the republican side of the house. fifteen be elected from demo- state, Against this must be placed members to cratic and one from New York which will in all likelihood be appor- tioned to a democratic district. Tt will be seen that there is no substan- tial gain to either political party in congress under the new bill, and this fact more than any other is responsi- ble for its speedy passage. The influence upon the electoral vote will be more favorable to the re- publican party. District majorities are more fluctuating than majorities where the entire state votes on a gen- eral ticket. The entire electoral vote under the new apportionment will be 401, requiring 201 votes for a choice. OF these, 197 will be apportioned to twenty northern states, 153 to the sixteen states comprising the solid south, leaving b1 between the two doubtful states of New York and In- diana, Taken as a whole the bill is as sat- isfactory a solation of the question as could have been expected. So long as mere party predominance is made the motive for national legislation ev- ery question which affects party inter- ests can only be solved by political compromise. And this is what has been done in the case of the new ap- portionment bill. THE EXTRA SESSION. The passage of the apportionment bill, which cannot be delayed beyond a few days, will make it the duty of Governor Nance to call at once an extra gession of the Nebraska legisla- ture, for the purpose of re-districting this state in accordance with its pro- visions. We call the attention of the governor to the fact that a number of vacancies have been created in that body since its adjournment by, death and the acceptance of oftice under the national government. These vacan- cies should be filled without delay, and to this end proclamations calling special elactions ought at once to be issued by the governor. It is highly important that the legislature shall have no vacant seats at the coming session. The question of the new ap- portionment is one which will be widely discussed in its relations to the geographical divisions of our state, and over which there is sure to be a vigorous contest. Omaha is especially interested that her demand for charter amendments shall be in- tion. A committee has been ap- pointed by the board of trade to con- fer with the Douglas county delega- tion with .reference to such amend- ments as will enable this city to pave her streets .during the coming year. The matter ought to be settled at once. When this is done it will be be time enough to talk over materials for paving. Free and sensatioral advertising is the soul of theatrical success. It is definitely announced by Miss Kellogg that the report of her engagement was a lie out of whole cloth and that she has no intention of retiring from the concert stage. Her manager ad- mits that the rumor was a shrewd ad- vertising dodge gotten up to induce greater patronage from the public and tanders his thanks to the press for their gratuitous services. Emma Ab- bott's manager has not been behind Ma- jor Pond in the sensational advertising an energetic and gentlemanly mana- gor. It is mot too mueh to say that the onewithout the other would have failed of the patronage which, sinceits opening, has hean accoaded our opeca house. Coming to-Qmaha & stranger, Manager Marsh has made many and «strong friends among all clagses with whom he has been breught in contact. Laboring under serious.disadventages, by.xeason of the lateneas of the season when the opera house was comploted, he hae succeeded in filling hisdatos with.slandard attractions, and pre- senting to the public a large number of the dest travelling companies on the road. Few know the labor and pains-takiug energy which bas beed alone respensible for the success of the season at the opera house. The public have ouly viewed results, and their patronage has followed as a mat- ter of course. !iul Bee joins many | door carried on by the much married | Laramie county to issue bonds to the of our citizens i congratulating both | actress and an enterprising Denver [ amont of $400,000 for the construc- Mayor Boyd and his able manager over the happy outoeme of the opera house venture, and in expressing the [ Oates’ advance agent has made datos roaal . | year, had passed the lower house of hope that the benefit which is to be | And now it is alleged that the kaboon | the legislature and was certain of a tendered Manager Marsh on Friday | pictures of Oscar Wilde which some majority of one in the upper house, evening next may be a genuine recog- nition by our citizens of the ¥aluable and faithful services which he has ren- dered the community as the guiding #pirit of Boyd’s opera house, business.

Wflsflflfi BAILROAD PRO- GRESS. The record of the past week is de- void of important movements in the railroad field. The spring-like weath- er has made outdoor operations of every class agreeable and work on al| new ronds and prospective routes has been pushed vigorously. The B, & M. company has infused new life into the sluggish blood of- Nebraska City. The purchase of the ferry company’s followed by other improvements of vast impor- charter and boats was tance to the future growth and pros- perity of the city. depot has been procured, costing in the neighborhood of $25,000, on which a $10,000 depot will be erected. The change in the transfer will be a great boon to the traveling public who suffered many inconveniences in navigating the Missouri at that point. The contemplated branch of the B. & M. from Calvert will give the company the second eastern con- nection with the C. B. & Q. and the Kansas City and Council Bluffs road. Besides these settled improvements, the city is certain of a branch of the Missouri Pacific. A surveying party is now running the line from Avoca, Cass county. The News says the en- gineers will run another line to Lin- coln as soon as the route to Nebraska City is ready for the graders. These facts will materially aid the southern matropolis to secure its share cf sur- rounding trade -vhich its isolated po- sition heretofore prevented. Business of all kinds will receive an impetus unequalled since the days of the Pike's Peak hegira. Distance lends enchantment to the battle that rages for a bridge over the Missouri between Blair and Decatur. Large quantit.es of ink have been shed by the papers of the towns directly interested on both sides of the river. tentions of Decatur. ‘Her boasted The Pilot pooh-poohs the pre- rock-bottom proves to be only a shell at twenty-eight feet, and only im- pressions exist of a bed-rock at seventy feet.” The fact of the mat- ter is that both points will be bridged if the “present calculations of the Sioux City and Pacific and now being made of both sites to de- Northwestera companies are car- ried out. A second survey is termine the exact crossing and ap- proaches. The bill introduced in congress by Representative Thompson authorizing the Sioux City to bridge the river, covers only the Blair site — ‘‘between the county of Washington in the state of Nebraska and the county. of Harrison in the state of Jowa’- and was evidently drafted at headquarters. The bill in- troduced by Representative Valentine covers both sites —*‘between the north line of the county of Monona and the south line of the county of Harrison Ground for a new corporators, John §. Bowen, Alexan- der Reed, L. D. Richards, L. H. Rogers, Jasper Laughlin, M. R. Hopewell, J. C. Crawford, and John sanctiomed the bill from the start,and as & member of the railrond commit- tee, favored its passage, suddenly flopped at the fatal moment, and the bill was killed. The significant feature of the fight was the fact that Carlett's change of mind ocourred a few hours atter the arrival of Super- intendent J. T, Clark on the field. The principle point to which the com- pany objected was the limitation clause reducing the amount of bonds to §300,000 in case the 100 miles of road were not constructed the present year, Laramie county people, how- ever, were opposed to any modifica- tion of the bill, and Corlett's sell out gave them a severe and sudden set back. The conduct of the athletic at- torney has been the theme of many tongues and pens during the past week. He is the daily recipient of terrific raking fires from every quar- ter, and his position is anything but cool and comfortable. The Plattsmouth Journal wants to suggest to the B, & M. authorities— The propriety of building a branch line of its road from Plattsmouth southwestward into Kansas, which would take 1n the best hog and cattle producing portion of this state, and enable it to compete for this traflic with the Missour1 Pacific and Union Pacific roads, the latter road already having a br. h runming through that portion of the state. Such aroad could be built very cheaply, and the local freights would well repay the outlay, while it would furnish a large amount of through traftic to and from the east over theC., B. & Q. road. Thatsuch a road will be built by some_ company at no distar.t day we do not doubt, and the B. & M., being already in a posi- STATE JOTTINGS.

The B. & M. and U. P. fight for depot grounds in Omaha has its coun- terpart in Atchison, only on a larger scale. The Santa Fe company some months ago commenced condemnation proceedings to obtain several blocks of land south of their tracks, and owned by the Missouri Pacific. The case went to the supreme court, and the Santa Fe company won. The Missouri Pacific then appealed from the appraisement proceedings and ob- tained a temporary injunction. This was heard before Judge Martin, of the district court. On Monday last the judge filed an opinion denying the injunction. The Missouri Pacific has now begun proceedings to condemp certain lots owned by the Atchison, Topeka & Sunta Fe company. Both companies have a large force of men engaged putting down tracks over the lands 1n dispute, or supposed to be coveted by each other. Four or five hundred men are thus employed cut- ting down hills, filling ravines, and laying down tracks. ————————— ALL subscribers of THE DArLA Bee who expect the benefit of our prem- ium offer must be prepaid to Septem- ber 1ft, 1882, Delinquent subscrib- ers must pay the amount now due and prepay for six months, and all subscribers who are prepaid one month or over, must remit enough more to prepay to September 1st in order to secure a premium receipt.

A new ap- portionment has hitherto meant a new deal. All the obligations of party leaders to one another, or party constituents to their representative, based on the old apportionment, are by common usage declared off. With- in tha new district lines new combina- tions are formed, looking forward in some cases to a partition of honors for fellows who have been to congress are apt to be counted out in the deal, for the one reason, if for no other, that the fellows who haven’t been to con- gress are more numerous and more urgent. The chances are, therefore, that the roll of the forty-eighth con- gress will be largely composed of new men, N Fees of Dootors- The fee of doctors is an item that very many persons are interested in just at present.

And one singlo bottle of Hop Bitters taken in time would save the $1,000 and all the year’s sickness. — Post. Deathful Diabotes. Younasrown, O., Aug. 6, 1881. H. H. WarnEr & Co.
