I'fils UMAHA DA:LY BEE: THURSDAY MARCH 9 (882 THE LABOR CRISIS, The labor troubles in this city have reached a orisis. The turbulent dem- onstration at the B. & M. dump caus es serious concern for the public safe- ty even among the most ardent friends of the workingmen. No matter how reasonable the demands of wage work- ers may be, they cannot justify a re sort to force as a means for obtaining cor.cessions from employers. No matter how earnest the desire of workingmen may be enforce their demands by peaceable means they are confronted by the fact that public peace has been violated by an effort to prevent others from working. These riotous proceedings may be no part of and Editorial mat- BUSINESS LETTERS—AIl Business Letters and Remittances should be ad- Arensod to TrE OMAHA Puntmsuive Cow- eaNy, OwanA, Drafts, Checks and Post- sffice Orders to be made payable to the arder of the Combany, OMAHAPUBLISHING C0., Prop'rs EiROSEWATER, Editor, fil city election close at hand and Pat Hawes—a thousand miles away. WAt is the matter with the Omaha gas works?! Are we to go back to tallow dips and pine knots? ‘WeLL paid men work a great deal better and cheaper in the end than men that are underpaid. Trose who imagine that Omaha is the ouly place in the country aflicted with strikes do not read the news- papers, AND we rise to inquire whether Mr. Hascall is in town. We are still hold- ing that $50 contribution subject to his requisition. the programme of the laboring men’s union. Their leaders have time and again publicly urged strict compliance with law, and they disclaim most emphat ically any intention to create disturb- ance, But it is evident they cannot always eontrol the body of laboring men, and consequently lay themselves liable to the charge of organizing mobs and labor riots. Having failed to maintain Jaw and order with his imported special police, Mayor Boyd deems it his duty to ap- peal to the governor for military pro- tection. For our part we do not hesi- tate to express a doubt as to the wis- dom or necessity of calling out the militia, because we balieve the labor troubles could and should be amicably adjusted by arbitration. There may be nothing to arbitrate on the part of the B. & M. road as Mr, Holdridge maintains, but such a course might prevent fresh labor troubles during the building seagon. In our opinion, an amicable understanding with work- ingmen and an adjustment of a scale of mechanics’ and laborers’ wages for the season would be very desirable for all concerned. We believe that an agreement made by workingmen for a given time under certain conditions Oscar WiLDE is coming to Omaha. Dick Wilde is already here. Oscar parts his hair in the middle, but Dick curls it to the centre.

Those who desire to suppress workingmen by bayonets should re- member that cheap labor under coer- cion is dearer in the end than volun- tary well-paid labor. Before Gover- nor Nance cslls out the militia or makes requisition for regulars, every reasonable effort should be made to secure a peaceable adjustment of these labor troubles.

Senator Van Wyck's active interest and untiring energy on behalf of the sottiors of Nebraska has shown itself in a bill‘already referred to in the tel- egraphic columns of this paper, whose objeot is to compel the land grant railroads to pay taxes on their unpat- ented lands now exempt from such taxation by the decision of the United States supreme court. This bill is similar in design but greater in scope that the one introduced into congress by Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, which applies only to the unpatented lands «f the Kansas Pacific land grants now owued by the Union Pacific. It will be seen from a reading of Senator Van Wyck's bill that it includes in 1ts provisions all lands f any railroad company to which lands have been granted by the government. A heavy fight along the line of the railroad lobby is certain to take place when it comes before congress for considera- tion, A BILL To release and quit claim to any etate, county, or municipality, all equity and in- terest that the United States may have by reason of the neglect or refusal of any railroad company to pay costs of locating and selecting lands donated by act of con- gress in and to lands sold and to be sold by states, counties or municipalities for non-payment of taxcs by any railroad company, Whereas, various railroad com panies, to whom donationsof land have been grauted by the United States, were required to pay costs of surveying and locating lands and other feces, before receiving paten:s for the same; and Whereas said railro d companies in re- fusing to pvy said costs and fees, and not procuring patents, are seeking to protect themselves from state and local taxation, thereby claiming as against states and lo - cal authorities exemptions not intepded by conress; and Wheteas t.e supreme court has decided that states cannot tax unpatented lancs donated to said r ilroads, hecause of the equity and inter. st the United States may have to said la.ds in case of an absolute refusal on the purt of sail railroad com- panies to pay s id cos's and fees; and Whereas tue raid acts were not intend- ed to protect or exempt any such unpat- ented! lands, or any railroad company to whom they were vonated, from taxation by any state, county, or municipality: Therefore, Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, That the United states does hereby relinquish and quit claim to uny state, county or munici- pality selling unpatented lands donated to & railrond company, for non-paym-nt of taxes asseared and levied upon. said lands, all equity aud in erest the United States lished the rgsult of its investigation into the gold and silver production of the United States for the year ending May 31, 1880. The statistics collected aro interesting and valuable. They show that one-third of the gold and one-half of all the silver ‘aken from the earth each year are produced in this country. Superintendent Walker divides the gold and silver producing belt into three parts —the Pacific division, the Kast- ern division and the Rocky Mountain division. The work of collecting ma- terials for this report was entrusted to the eminent geologist, Clarence King and a large force of assistants. The results are condensed in the fol- lowing summary: 825, Divisionof thol i Rocky Moun-| Eastern Div. may have in ¢ny such lands by reason of the failure of thy railroad company to pay any costs and fees or commissions before obtaining patents to such lan &, Tue statements of certain news- papers thut JIr. Conkling has never been anythiug but a politician and that he never did anything which was of any real service to the country are unfair, unjust and will not bear can- did inspection. To Mr. Conkling, more than to any one man, belongs the credit of thinking out, formulat- ing and successfully advocating the electoral commission bill, a measure which carried the country safely through one of the gravest perils it has ever known by a masterly triumph of reason over passion. No one at the time denied that by far the largest portion of the credit for the success of this measure belonged to Mr. Conk- ling, and it is the grossest partisan- tains, . .| 7,878,183) 10,017,402 £7,795,075 9 uL 40,686 280,296 Of the states California produced the largest amount of gold, aggrega- Missouriimprovement convention held in 8t. Joseph last November has been presented to both houses of congress. The array of facts presented in this memorial are an irresistible argument in favor of the speedy improvement of the Missouri river, The Missouri valleg—the most prolific agricultural region on this continent—contains 249,847,875 acres of land, aud an ag- gregato wealth of $1,246,216,834, with a population of 3,600,000, This region paid to the government last year $7,727,137 in internal revenue, High rates of transportation have been the greatest clog on its prosper- ity. Transportation has eaten up half the grain product of the country, and almost one-third of the live stock product of the country, What this amounts to may be conceived when it is considered that the census report of 1880 shows that there were in this area of country 4,545,300 head of ocattle, 1,649,000 head of horses, 4,093,900 head of hogs, and 2,071,160 head of sheep. A very great portion of this grain and live stock ‘finds a market in the South, and could be carried by the river route to its destination at loss than one-fourth the cost by rail. Be- sides much of the grain shipped to Europe might go by this route ata great deal less cost than by rail to eastern ports, If the river can be improved | for even double the sum estimated by Major “Suter, oongress should not. hesitate. The people living along this great stream are entitled to that ‘mul;, and the national government will be the gainer in the end, If the delegation in congress from the Missouri valley vresents an ag- greasive and united stand in support of the proposed appropriations for river improvement they cannot be #afely ignored. ting in value $17,150,041, Colorado heads the list of silver producing states with 817,549,274 of the precious motals, exceeding the output of Ne- vada by over $4,000,000, The decrease in the production of Nevada is accounted for by the de- oline in the Comstock @pde. 1In 1876 the Comatock yielded $18,002,906 in gold and $20,670,078 in silyer, In the census year the yield of the entire Comstock district was only $6,952 630 for both gold and silver. Colorado is now first in the rank of states produc- ing the precious melals with $19,249,. 182 in gold and silver to her credit and followed by California with $18,- £01,828. Nevada holds the third vlace with $17,318,909, and there is a gop of nearly $18,000,00 in production before Montana takes her position fourth in the list with $4,710,835 to her credit. The question as to what becomes of this immense amount of precious metals is anawered by tho census bureau. A large proportion was con- sumed by the mints, which ocoined $84,870,144 into money. Of thissum a oconsiderable amount was foreign bullion, It is estimated, by means of mint records and the reports of manu- facturers, that the amount of gold consumed in the arts in the year end. ing June 30, 1880, was $10,000,000, and of silver $5,000,000, Of this, $0,5600,000 in gold and $4,000,000 in silver were of domestic bullion, pro- duced in the year; $2,600,000 in gold and $600,000 in silver were United Btates coin, and the remainder was old manufactured articl s and foreign coin, ———— Mg, Morrill is opposed to the es- tablishment of a branch mint at Omaha, Mr. Morrill is opposed to silver coinage.

Mr. Conkling has made grave mis- takes since then —mistakes which seem to have permanently lost him the con- fidence of the nation.

So far as Omuha's wishes are concerned, the Douglas county dele- gation, after consultation with a committee from the board of trade have drawn up amendments to our city charter for the purpose of rendering paving practicuble, The governor has beeh notified of the action of the Douglas county delega- tion, and haa no reason to vlead delay on Omaha's account, E— MoxtoMERY BLAIR has written a letter to Senator Miller expressing his views on the Chinese question, Mont- gomery's last lotter was to our Omaha Miller, containing some extended re- marks about & heathen Chinee better known as Sammy J.

The accuracy of certain statements in the early history of the Oatholic church in Omaha, as published in Tre Bee of Saturday, has been ques- tioned, particularly as regards the time and place where the first mass was celebrated. Tue Ber's statement of the.point in dispute was as follows: “‘In the summer of '65 the firat minister of the Catholic church, Rev. father Emonds, visited the town, greatly to the joy of the score or more families and many single members of that faith then here. He enjoys the honor of having been the pioneer yricst in Omaha and the territory. Te ministered to the spiritual needs of the Catholics, and celebrated the the first mass in the old capitol build- ng.” gMn Thos ©’Connor was our au- thority for the principal facts con- tained in the article. Mrs. O'Connor helped to fix the altar on that memor- able occasion, and carried a small pitcher of water from her humble home to be used in the mass, which was celebrated in the secretary’s room, first floor, in the month of May, 1855. This was long before ‘‘the cottage on the hill” was built or the site for the same selected. The following corres- pondence establishes beyond ques‘ion the truth of Trr Bee statement: Omaia, Nov. 20, 1878, Rev. ¥ather Emonds: My Dear Sir: As some parties here are inclined to discredit my statement regarding matters and things connect- ed with the location, ete., of our old church, and especially the house and place where you fust offered up the holy sacrifice of the mass, * % * I will ask you to write and aid me in settling that question. Yours, Tuos. O'CONNOR. 8t. Josepn'’s INsTITUTE, } Towa Ciry, Ia , November 25, 1878. Mr. Thomas 0'Connor, Omaha. Dear Sir: April or May was the month when the first mass was said in Omaha; rather think May, 18556 — you ought to know. It was in the court room of the old state house, built of brick, about the only brick building in the capitol, not far from the raised round joining the river, Governor Cuming assigned us lots, a part of a so-called Park. We com- menced digging the foundation, Some folks objected to have the Park thus disposed of. We kept on digging not- withstanding pistols being threatened. This ground 1 think was nearer the river bank on the raised ground. Yours in Jesus and Mary, W. EmonDs. Many additional facts regarding this historical event can be givern. Another pioneer of 65, Mrs. M. Mc- Donald, places the date on the l4th or 16th of May—‘‘a bright, warm work-day.” The clergyman was brought from St. Joseph by Mr. Jere Dee, who went to that city for sup- plies. Mr, John Kelloy, now living in Washington county, served at the mass, Sp—— Untaxed Railroad Lands. Chicago Timos, Some of the land-grant railroads are making a good thing by holding their lands for an advance in values, and holding them in such a way that in the meantime they escape taxation. Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, and Representative Anderson, of Kansas, have undertaken, rather late in the day, to put a stop to this, The su- preme court has held that land in cluded in a land grant, but not’ yet patented to a company, can mnot be taxed by a State, because the federal government retains an equity in the land, which might revert to the donor. Under the terms of the land grants the railroad companies are to pay all expenses of surveying the lands, and the land offize is then to issue patents, on receiving which the railroad com- anies become full owners of the ands; the State governments can then compel them to pay taxes thereon. To ayoid this the companies delay sur- veying and patenting so far as possi- ble, but in the meantime these lands are reserved from sale and pre- emption by the government; the com- pany, which does [not own them enough to pay taxes on them, owns them enough to mo!‘tflge them, ad- vertise them, and sell them to set- tlers. The settler, also, is enabled to eecape the p.{ment of taxes. Instead of having the land surveyed and getting a patent, he merely takes & warranty deed from the company, and is to all intents and purposes the owner o° his farm, with the advant- age that the state cannot tax it, ven in the case of the unsold land there is no reason why the railroad company, which reaps all the benefit of the increase of the value, should not pay taxes on it to the state. The largest loser by this clever dévice is the state of Kansas, and the largest gainer is the Kansas Pacific railroad, now a portion of the Union Pacific system. This road received a grant of about 6,200,000 acres, of which 2,600,000 acros are in Colorado and 3,600,000 are in Kansas, In the lat- ter atate this compuny has more than three million acres earned but not patentéd. Over this land, said to be worth 813,000,000, the company ex- ercises every right of ownership ex- cept the payment of taxes to the amount of about $240,000 a vear, which it magnanimously = waives. Senator Van Wyok's bill is gen- eral, and applies to all cases of this kind; it veleases and quit- claims to wny Zatate that proceeds against a railroad company for the collection of taxes on these lands all interest in equity of the general gov- oriinent, Mr, “Aunderson’s bul s directed spcoifically at the Kansas Pacific, and provides that the road shall pay for the survey of all its lands lll! take out patents for them within ninety days, or the attorney goneral shall commence ings against it, and that, if the company does not pay the costs and take pat- ents within five months, the lands shall be taxable by the state of Kan- sas, The company already owes the government some $200, for the cost of surveys made up to the pres- ent time. By the torms of this grant, lands not sold or disposed of wishin three years from the completion of the road were to be offered to the public at $L256 an acre, and a second bill, intro- duced by Mr, Anderson, is intended to effect a fultillment of this condition. [ held a meeuny i It will be noticed that in all these grants the terms and the law are in- terpreted liberally in the case of the corporation, and strictly against the government and the public. These lands, that are held to non-taxable by the State because the railroad com- pany does not own them, are held to be the property of the roads absolute- ly when the company fails to perform the conditions of the grant and the land office proposes to resume control over them; a specific act of congress iug the lands to the public do- main required. All the legal obata’ cles aré thrown in the way of the pu!{ lic; all the advantages, and the bene fits of all doubts, are bestowed on the beneficiary corporation. It -is six years, too, since congress acquired the right under the terms of the grant to the Kansas Pacific railroad, td compel the unsold lands to be offered te the public at 81 25 an acre, but it is only now that & congressman has con cluded to do what he can to get con gress o take this important action for the benelit of persons desiring to set- tie on these lands, ‘White-House Visitors. Among the peculiar ambitions of the American citizen on a visit to the National Capital is to gratify a burn- ing curiosity to see and shake hands with the President. The throngs of people that have been doing the city this winter have not been exceptions to this particular weakness, and there has perhaps never been an occupant of the presidential chair who has been 80 accessible to the public as Presi- dent Authur. How he finds the time to see 80 many visitors and yet attend to the public business is a matter of general wonder. Still he does if, and the large number of people that come to the White House all have a chance to see him, Amidst the rush of con- g.essional visitors and office-seekers who have to be seen the President sends out word that he will see what is technicaily known as the ‘‘respect’ visitors, wThen the guardians at the foot of the stairs and at the presidential door stand aside and the public pour in. It is & curiosity to see the crowds that go in. There is no distinction made, and everybody is admitted. Some days there are as many as 150 of these visitors. The plan gives general sat- 1sfaction, because 1. affords a privilege which was never so generally accorded and which is very much prized. To be able to go home and say that they have seen the president is a source of great satisfaction to American citizens. The present arrangement is very dem- ocratic, and places everybody on an equal footing, so that the humble, ob- scure citizen has as good a chance to see the president as the highly connected and prominent member of society. These little informal receptions are very pleasant, and the president al- ways has something to say which is agreeable to each of his visitors. The democratic style of doing things un- der the present administration meets with popular approval. STATE JOTTINGS. Lincoln don’t want Sunday theatricals.

An-English firm of tobacco manufac- turers have completed a table showing the amount of tobacco .manufactured, the revenue and the amount consumed per head of the population during the forty years from 1840to 1850. From this it ap- pears that in the former year the quantity of tobacco used was 22,876,641 pound: and the quantity per head uf the pop.a- tion wus 0.86 pounds. Every year the manufacture increased up to 1877, when there was a nlight decline until 1880, in which year the total was 49,174,662 pounds, The consumption per head of the population in 1879 ~t! at in 1880 not being given—was 1.41 pounds, The profits of a bale of o tton made into sheetings in southern cotton mills is thus figured down by Mr. Hammett, president of the Piedmont factory, of Georgia: Cost of bale, $45; cost of manufacturing, trans- portation and commission, $28,62; total cost. $68.62.

The total productin did not reach one million tons until 1837, after which it fell off to less than that amount for a couple of years, The production did no% reach ten million tons uutil 1863, since which time it has not fallen below that figure, but has pretty steadily increa ed, In1873 the total production reached 22,880,921 tons, from which it gradually declined until 1878, when it had fallen to 18,600,000 tons. The following year, 1870, 1t rose to 27,711,250 tovs, In 1881 the total pro. duction was 50,271,940 tons, The total production of anthracite coal in Pennsyl- vania, from the opening of the mines to the close of 1881, is stated at 482,979,490 tons. Cruelty of Stock Gamblers. From the Nation, Some of the great operators make the nearest approach to Satanig meth- ods, in their falsehood, ‘reachery, and indifference to the fate of friends and foes which the modern basiness world has yet witnessed. They remind one of Clovis, the king of the Franks, who is reputed to have killed all his rela- tions thet he could discover, and then began wailing and lamenting his deso- late, kinless state in the hope that more relations would show themselves, s0 that he meght kill them too.
