Evemy important outcome in polit- ical contests, as well as labor troubles, has been the result of compromise. — A m=aL #sTATE boom in revolution- ary battlefields may be expected, since » Virginia congressman has introduced a bill asking the government to pay $25,000 for the farm on which the bat- tle of Yorktown was fought. p—— ‘WL paid labor is always the most profitable, and those employers who treat their employes with the greatest consideration invariably secure the greatest amount of work for their . money. Tuz Erie canal will be open for bukiness in the latter part of April. 1f the railroads propose to raise their tariffs on east bound freight they can- not issue the necessary orders any too soon. In six weeks water competition will drain the starch out of high rate eastern freights. lEE— BouraErN democrats profess to be able to kill whatever of vitality there is left in the liberal movements in their several states this summer by liberalizing their platforms, When the tissue ballot is exchanged for the school house the dawn of prosperity in the south, of which we hear so much, will brighten into day. Senator EpMuNDs persists in de- olining the tender of the supreme judgeship made him by President Ar- thur, No man in the senate is better fitted for the position than Mr. Ed- munds, who, in point of native ability, legal learning and sterling integrity, is the peer of any member of that body. His acceptance of a plac on the bench would give his seat in the nenate to a railroad lout of very mod- erate abilities, and on this account the people may congratulate themselves that ‘‘the watch dog of the treasury” has decided to remain at his post. —— Tue increasp of our imports, which show a marked upward tendency, make it certain that the surplus reve- nue of the government will be greater at the end of the current year than at any previous time in our history. Al- lowing for all the claims upon tho na- tional treasury for the expenses of maintaining the government, includ- ing penstons and inferest on the na- tional obligations, and adding to this & sum sufficient to make a total reduc- tion of $100,000,000 in our publio debt by the end of the fiscal year, it is plain that the country can be re- lieved of at least $50,000,000 in taxa- tion without injury to any of its in- terests, Congress has recognized this fact oclearly during the present session. The only question over which there is any dispute is in what direction it will be most advisable to begin the reduction in our surplus revenue. Outside of the taxes on tobacco and liquors the government during 1881 collected $11,133,168. This sum was the result of taxes latd during the war upon matches, patent medicines, bank cheoks, bank capital and bank de- posits, Three at loast of these those on matohes, patent medicines and bank checks, ought at once to be repealed. All are indirect taxes on consumers and come out of the pock- ots of the people. The match tax offers a direct premiuva on monepoly. The tax on checks is thrown upon every depositor ina bank, and the import on druggists sundries is an un- w rrantable burden on a single line of trade which is opposition to every precedent and principle of our govern- ment. When these are moved the committee on ways and means will do well to direct their attention to a re- duction ef taxation on raw materials used in American manufactures. This is & ruvision of the tariff which ought to meet with no opposition from ad- vocates of industry in the United Btates, The tax on crude chemicals, drugs ana dye stuffs might safely be remitted. Quinine is now free of duty, while Peruvian bark, from which quinia is extracted, is taxed to the direct profit of European wmanu- Saoturers. RESPONSIBILITY AND REM- EDY. Business men of this city whose pa- tronage has built up Taz Be are the men who are responsible for the exist- ence and influence of that organ of riot and mob violence. A half dozen times within as many years has that ecommunistic sheet shown its red hand in a game of violence and blood such as was reenacted on our streets esterday. The business patrons of 'ne Bere have themselves to thank for the strength for evil which that inoendiary sheet wields when the mob overrides law and order, and_the rights of property and person.~ [Re- publican. Business men of Omaha patronize Tre Beer because it is the only me- diam through which they can reach their own patrons. They patronize Tar Bee because it pays them to ad- vertise in a paper that circulates over 8,000 dailies within our city limits, where the Republican circulates less than 500 and the Herald less than 700. They patronize TneBEer, not as a matter of charity, but as a business investment that yields the most profitable returns. The responsibility for the existence and influence of Tur Bee is not with the business men of Omaha, but with thedishon nd mercenary publishers of Omaha dailies, who are not only soul and body the property of eor porate monopolies, but are always in the market to sustain jobbery and public plunder, whether it be a scheme like the Holly water job or a defense of star route thieves, Had the men who publish The Her- ald and Republican given Gmaha hon- est, reliable and fearless newspapers in which the community could repose confidence, Tue Ber would have no existence to-day. But why do these editors of reader- leas papers charge Tux Ber with be- ing the organ of riot and mob vio- lence? Oan they cite's single sentence uttered by this paper in advocacy, de- fense or justification of riot or mob violence? Have they forgetten the memorable uprising of workingmen in Omaha during the Pittsburg riots when the editor of THe Bxe by a personal ap- peal against mob law saved their printing houses from being demelish- ed by a mob? Have they forgotten that the peace- able settlement of the smelting works strike two yeurs ago was largely due to the efforts of this paper as an advo- cato of arbitration between the strik- ers and their employers? What foundation is there for the hue and cry which the monopoly organs raise against Tue Bek every time that laboring men are engaged in a conflict! The editor of Tar Bee haas lived in Omaha more than eigh- teen years During that period he has contributed more than $16,000 in taxes to this city and county and always has been and is to-day iden- tified with the growth and prosperity of Ompaha as much as any other man engaged in the publication of a news- paper. All the fruits of a life time of unceasing labor and his hopes and aspirations for the future are contred here. Nobody in the city has more at stake in its future growth, and of all men he is the last to desire a de- struction of property or a stuppage of public improvements. - But the editor of Tue Bes differs very radically with the editors of the Herald and Republican as to the rights and wrongs of labor and the treatment of workingmen. Having boen a wage werker fo, many years, he has always sympa- thized with workingmen in their ef- forts to better their condition. . He regards laborers and mechanics as hu- man beings, whose earnings should be sufficiont to afford them and their families food, raiment and shelter, The editors of The Heral2 and Re- ‘publican look upon workingmen as mere beasts of burden. They crack their whips over them as if they were unruly mules, and hound them down as if they were a pack of wolves. They forget that even mules will re- sent cruel treatment, and men of flesh and blood will not tamoly submit to being cursed, kicked and abused like dogs. And when this brutality is resented the ory of communist and nihilist is raised, and the responsibility for the bitter feeling aroused among working- men by imprudent employers and brass-collared editors is charged upon the newspaper that dares to plead for humane treatment for laboring men, Nobody deplores the existing state of affairs more than we do, but we don’t believe that vile abuse of work- ingmen will restore friendly relations between laborer and employer, What the business men and men of all classes in Omaha should labor for is a conference that will bring about an amicable understanding with the working people, and the establish- ment of a scale of wages for the sea- son satisfactory to all concerned. e—— Tue annual report of the Union Pacific shows net eaning for the past year of $11,778,474, and an expendi- ture of $690,749 in replecing rails on the live. The gross earnings of the eompany were reported at $24,2568,- 817. After satisfying their intorest obligations the directors were enabled to declare & quarterly dividend of 1j per cent on millions of dollars of wat- ered stock, Tan energy with with General Van Wyok is pushing his inquiriesinto our system of land frauds is worthy of the highest praise. Settlerf in Southern Nebraska will be especially gratified to learn that the senator on Wednes- day introduced a bill i the senate which bears directly upon the cases of the gang of land sharks who have been plying their nefarious trade upon the occupanta of lands along the line of the 8t. Joseph and Western railroad. The history of this fraud was given some weeks ago by Tuz Bee and allusion was made at the time to Senator Van Wyck’s efforts to protect the homes of our farmers in that section of the state. Entries of lands made before the filing of the railroad claim to the land grant and to which title was given by the United States certainly ought to be protected by the government., The principal foature of General Van Wyck's bill directs the attorney general to appear and defend the title of the purchaser, pre-emptor or settler whenever any railroad or other cor- poration claims the same land under the land grants of the United States. It will be seen that this provision ap- plies directly to the Knevals cases. Knevals’ fraudulent title was secured for a song from the St. Joseph & Western company nearly ten years after settlement was made on the disputed quarter sections, and the put up teat cases which resulted in favor of the land sharks are not likely to stand fire when brought under the notice of the higher courts. It'is to render such appeal possible in suits where the value of the property under dis- pute is less than $5,000 that a clause has been introduced by Senator Van Wyck in his bill providing that the attorney general shall appeal to the supreme court, if necessary, to settle the title of the settler with- out regard to the value of the property or the resi- dence of the parties interested, and also that all proceedings and exe- cutions shall bo stayed except in a lost suit. General Van Wyck has been earn- estly pressing this matter since the opening of the congressional session. At his request a special investigation was held at Lincoln in January to ob- tain materials for a report upon the Krevals' claim, and the results ap- peared a few weeks later in a resolu- tion offered by the senator, instruc- ting the attorney-general to defend the government’s original title to the lands afterwards vested in the settlers, The bill just introduced in the senate is favorably cousidered by the com- mittee on public lands and will un- doubtedly be us favorably reported to the senate. If it secures a passage, General Van Wyck will have addi- tional claims upon the gratitude of his Nebraska constituents. — COABLEGRAMS announce that there was & general fall of European gtocks yesterday on the Loadon exchange in consequence of grave apprehensions of acoming rupture between Russia and Germany. General Skobeleff has been received with great favor at the court of the czar and still breathes forth threatenings and slaughter against German influence. The sultan is anxious to conclude an offensive and defensive alliance with the Emperor William as against Russis, and various other foreign straws point to trouble in the near future. ————— i) Senator Saunders has submitted a joint resolution proposing an amend- ment to the constitution allowing the people to elect their postmasters, in- ternal revenue officers, United States marshals and distriot attorneys.

A sympathiser for star route swindlers, a sinecure of the Union Pacific and other monopolies, a cham- pion of the bill to provide for back- ay of a conlingent congressman who Ru done no work, and a friend to the worst element of a political party, the lo can judge for themselves how F:r“}l)'he Pioneer misleads them from a duty to which they owe good, honest, faithful government. e Henry Ward Beecher, Chicago Times, March 7. The sudaen illness which compelled the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher to leaye the platform before reaching the middle of his lecture, last night, can hardly fail to excite fears that it was the begining of the end of a career that for its brilliance and ita duration has had few rivals. It may have been merely & passing weakness, the result of fatigue and somerecent impairment of health, but, where a constitution has shown such wonderful strength as that of the pastor of Plymoutk church the first signs of its decay seem omi- nous. 8o little has Mr. Beechershown the effect of age that itis only by re- flecting on the length of time that he has been a national character that one realizes how near he is to the tradi- tional limit of three-score years and tan. Onthe 24th of next June he will lack but a year of this point. He comes of a family, however, that is as distinguished for its vitality as for its genius. His tather, one of the most ominent and influential of American clergymen, died at the age of 88. His sister Catherine, who was born in the year 1800, only died a couple of years ago, and his still more distinguished sister Harriet is a yesr his senior. Few men at the age of 68 defy years, maintain their health and strength, and continue in the performance of all their duties—duties more numerous and arduous than most men are able to perform at earlies periods in_life, Though he has all his life worked with exceptional industry, and in a wide range of occupations, the age of 68 finds him doing the work of a pastor, a lecturer, an editor, a misccllaneous writer, a tariff-reformer, an after-din- ner speaker, and a man taking an ac- tive part in all public movements. Though the extent of his pastoral la- bors has rendered an assistant necessa- , his physical condition has not. gms.d of husbandlng his sirength, and as hls years increase, decreasing the amount of his work, he has con- tinued all his varied employments, as though what is advanced age for most men were the prime of life for him. Mr. Beecher was born in Litchfield, Conn., and graduated at Amherst col- lege in 1834, at the ,age of 21. He did not make a high record for him- self in his classes, but the tireless ac- tivity of the man ever since he left college, and the snccess he has at- tained in 8o many kinds of work, for- bid the idea that he idled away his time; he may not have worked as the rofessors wanted him to work, but e must have done work of some kind, and a good deal of it. In his fondness for the fields he cultivated that close observation which has always distin- guished him, and acquired a physical strength that has served him well. He has occasionally said that there was not a foot of ground within ten miles of the college that he did not know well, and the fondness for nature that impelled him to his long walks has never ceased. Immediately after leav- ing college he studied theology at Lane seminary, near Cincinnati, of which his father had not long before become president, and in 1836 he edi- ted The Oincinnati Journal. torage of two years in Lawrence- urg, Ind., he was pastor of a Presby- terian church in Indianapolis for eight years. Heo then accepted a call to the pastorate of a newly-formed Congrega- tional church in Brooklyn, which was named for the landing place on this continent of the . Pilgrims, and that pastorate he has held for the long pe- riod of thirty-five years, during which time the church has grown to be the largest one of its order, and perhaps of any order, in the United States. Almost from the first he achieved a reputation as a pulpit orator and that reputation extended in area and in- oreased in degree so that for many years he has been recognized as one of the first orators of the age. His abilities as a public spsaker were not limited to the pulpit. As a lecturer he has had no superior and few men who could be counted rivals. On all g::n public questions he has always n resdy to speak with mar;elous effectiveness, a time when the slavery question was as much of an apple of discord in the churches as in politics, he was an out-spoken aboli- tionist; during the war he was in con- e stant request as & champion of the union cause en the platferm, and sinoe that period he has been unl'lIy at the service of and in demand by all ublic movements in behalf of relig- ion and phnhnt.hx:wnlx Besides his work 1n the pulpit on the plat- form he has found time and lmn{lh to contribute for twenty years to The Independent, of which he was the ed- itor for two years, and since 1870 he has held the editorship of The Chris- tian Union, He has written frequent - ly for The Ledger, including his uovel “‘Norwood,” and has published a whole library of sermons as reported by a stenographer, essays on various subjects, aud a * Life of Christ.” In 1872 he delivered the course of lec- turesat Yale on preaching. —— An Inland Ses Serpent Under Ice. Tule (Oregon) Letter 1n the Ashland Tidings. Michael Hartley, in digging a hole in the ico of the lake for his cattle to drivk from, discovered a goep hole near the edge of the lake, in which was an immense fish, He said it seemed to be about eighteen feet long, and its body . appeared as thick through as a horse; it had fins and scales and hoad something like a dog. He struck it twice with his axe, once on the neck, but did not succeed in killing it.

Braxcuarp, Ia, March 8 —Our held here Monday, and resulted in electing the people’s ticket, or those in favor of license of saloons. That seemed to be the only issue before the people. Dr. Beghtol was elected mayor, Dr. Holliday and R.D. 0. Wetmore trustees, N. 8. Miles as- cesor, A, E, Pratt treasurer, and Prof, Cempbell recorder. More than a year ago our people closed out the saloons, but liquor kept lenking out at the drug stores, and some concluded that more was leak- ing out there than when the saloons were running. It seems that some people never would think of drinking if it were not forbidden. It is on the principle that if you want cattle to eat a stack of old hay, just put a fence around it; or if you want your daugh- ters to marry off quick, load up a shot gun and threaten to shoot any young man that comes around.

One night he saw the strange spectre vanishing from the crib, car- rying a sack of corn. He followed with his shot gun and commanded his ghostship to halt, but it made no re. sponse. He then raised his gun'and fired, but the apparition paid no at- tention, and was just disappearing in an opposite direction when he raised his gun higher and fired again. This time the spectre dropped the sack, threw up a pair of bony, ghastl arms, an crieg,“r“oh. my God!” It then vanished from sight, leaving him in possession of the sack. He thinks that the ghost will not make its ap- pearance again soon, Kxox Glory for Gosper. Arahahoe Pioneer. Ever since the first issue of The Pioneer we have frequently called the attention of the citizens of Gosper county to the great injustice and fraud of the Union Pacific railroad company in evading the payment of taxes on their land 1n this county, and not only have we urged the matter upon our representatives in congress through the columns of The Pioneer, but per- sonally and by ‘correspondence, until | at last a senator has been found who will push the matter to the bitter end and force the Union Pacific to either patent their lands and pay taxes or relinquish all title, so the land can be opened for entry. At least this is the text of the bill introduced in the sen- ate last week by C. H. Van Wyck and advocated by him on the floor. The bill will undoubtedly pass, and not only Gosper county, but many others in the State, will be materially bene- fitted thereby. DYING BY INGHES.
