ROSEWATER, Editor. Nenraska is done with boy govern- ment. Waes this cruel war is over and the militta can march home again. Tar De‘mocntio parly in Omaha and Douglas county have given up the ghost. Bayonet rale killed it. —— Oscar Wit should call on Dr. Miller, The biggest sunflower in America is planted in the editorial chair of the Herald. Wehaven't yet heard that Governor Long, of Massachussetts, has called on the president for federal troops to supprous the Lawrence insurrection. Tag troops have nearly all turned their backs on Omaha, and the song, ““When Johnny Comes Marching Home," 18 being sung in many house- holds. Jowa votes on June 27th upon the ques‘ion of adopting the prohibitory amendment. It is safe to wager that the vote will be the heaviest polled for years in the Hawkeyo state. Tae board of education wants the people of Omaha to vote them author- ity to expend $15,000 on new school buildings during the present year, and they publish the notice in the readerless Republican. Kansas Ciry has completed her as- ssessment, the total returns footing up $24,178,770. A correct valuation of Omaha's propeaty, on the same basis would give a taxable property to the value of fully $15,000,000. ATTENTION 18 called to the registra- tion notices printed in another portion of Tue Bes, The cozaing city elec- tion ought to call out a heavy vote. Every voter should see to it that his name is registered. New York's railroad commission bill is said to stand more than an even ohance of passage through the legisla- ture. The anti-monopoly leaguy will deserve a large portion of the credit for the measnre. S— Tax shrinkage in the values of stock BRII GING WESTERN RIVERS. Numerous bills are now pending in congress authorizing the construction of rdilroad and wagon bridges across the great western rivers, Many of these projected bridges may never be built while others will doubtless be erected to accomodate the growing de- mands of commerce, It is manifestly the duty of congress to enact some general law prescribing the conditions under which bridges shall be built across the navigable rivers of the west. Such an act would do away with all special legislation and afford to all localities and all parties equal privileges and facilities for traffic. At the samo time it is aleo the duty of congress to prevent the obstruction of the ravigable rivers by bridges that do not afford proper facilities for tho passage of boats, With a view of aiding congress in practical legislation on this impor- tant subject the 8t. Louis merchants exchange have had a bill prepared by a committee of experienced river en- gineers, whioh was recommended to congress at a mecting held by the merchants of St. Louis last k. This proposed bill as drafted is entitled ‘‘an act to authorize the construction of bridges across the Missouri river botween its mouth and the mouth of the Dakota and James river, and across the Mississippi river between the port of St. Paul, in the state of Minnesota, and the port of Natohez, in the state Mississippi, and across the Illinois river batween its mouth and Peoria, in the state of Illinois, and to pre- soribe the character, location and di- mensions of the same, The proposed bill is very lengthy and we can only point to the principal features that apply to the bridging of the section of country in which we are located or with which we have commercial relations. The bill pre- scribes in detail the conditions under which all bridges crossing the great western rivers shall be erected and maintained. It provides that all low bridges over the Missouri and Missis- sippi rivers authorized by this act be %0 looated that a good channel can be kept and maintained for the passage of boats at all navigable stages of water, and that the channel shall be made easily accessible by boats at all such stages, and the draw or pivot spans shall be located over the channel in such a manner that one or both of the open- ings can be conveniently and safely reached by boats at all navigable stages of water; and that one opening at least of a draw or pivot span shall be over the best and most corvenient channel of the river, for all clasecs of river trafilc, at any stage of water. That in case the approaches to draw-span opening, channel‘spans or raft passages in bridees authorized by this act are found to b dangerous or difficult of access by any impcrtant class of river traffic, the secretary of war may, upon the recommendati n of a board of engineers, appointed as hereinafter preacribed in this act, or- der the construction of such sheer boom will obviate the difficulty. That any person, company or cor- exchange securities since the begining of the year is estimated at $800,000,- 000. The increase of the stock gam- bler's pile can be estimated by Mr. Gould’s recent little exhibition. GENERAL JouN M. THAYER has re- cently been lecturing at Kearney and other Nebraska towns on ‘‘Genius; its Uses and Abuses.” The best use General Thayer can make of genius js to wrestle with some of the living is- sues of the day. — Jay Gourp has been making a lit- tle investment in Now York real es- tate. Last week he became the owner of sixteen lots on Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth streets for the trifling sum of $1,000,000. This represents about one year's good shearing of . Mr. Tilden is glad that the labor riots at Omaha have been quelled, H % that The Omaha Herald t apoken the English language beautifully for soveral days.—Denver Tribune. The beautiful English of The Her- ald is diffused among a very seieot circle of snoboorats, and its circulation will soon be exclusive enough to suit the most mathetio taste. E——— ComrrLaINTS of the excessive cost of living in Omaha are well founded. Provisions of all kinds are exorbitantly high. This is especially the oase with all farm produce and vegetablos, - The reason is not difficult to find, If Douglas county were settled ne thickly as Washington or Cass coun- ties the prices of these articles would take a very surprising drop. As fine fiarming lands as oan be found in the state lie unoccupied within a radius of ten miles from Omaha, within two hours’ drive of the best market in the state. They can be bought as cheaply . a8 improved landsin other settled sections of the state. Devoted to fruit, vegetable and poultry raising, the investment would psy hand- somely, Taxes in Douglas county are reasonable and facilities for trans. portation unequalled. What this county noeds just now more than suything else is an inflox of ten thou- #and farmers and gardeners. poration authorized to construct a bridge over the Missouri, Mississippi or Iilinois rivers shall, before com- mencing work, give notice for two weeks of such intention by publica- tion in papers: having a wide circula- tion in the cities of 8t. Louis, St. Joseph, Kansas City and Omaha, con- cerning bridges to be built over the Missouri river; and in news. papers published and having » wide circulation in the cities of Bt. Louis, Quincy, Peoria, 1llionis, Keokuk, Davenport and Dubuque, Towa, and St. Paul, Minnesota, for bridges over the Mississippi river above 8t. Louis or Illinois river. And that any such person, company or corporation shall before commenc- ing work on any such bridge submit to the cretary of war for his examination a design and drawings of the bridge and piors, and a map of the location, giving for the space of at least one mile above and one mile below the proposed location, the topography of the banks of the river, the shorelines a8 high and low water, the direction of THE OURRENT AT NAVIGABLE STAGES, and soundings showing acousately the bed of the stream, the location of any other bridge or bridges, and uch other information as may by required for a full and satiafactory understanding of the subject, and if the meocre- tary of war is satisfied that the pro- visions of the law have been complied with in regard to location, the build- ing of the piers may be at once com- menced; but if it shall appear that conditions prescribed by the act can- not be compjied with at the location where it is desired to oconstruct the brsdge, the secretary of war shall, after considering any remonstrances detail & board of experienced en neers to examine the case, and may on their recommendation authorize such modifications in the require- ments as to location, piers and num ber of high spans as will permit the location and construction of the bridge. —— Ir has cost the government some- thing more than five millions of dol- 'k OMABA DAiLLY BLEF: lars to keep the Indians in subjection since the,Modoe war, in 1872, This sum represents only the actual ex- penditure during campaigns. To this ought to be added the costs of maintaining the army west of the Mississippi, whose principal duty is looking after these wards of the gov- ernment, and which will average some $23,000,000 a year in addition. The Indians are very expensive wards at any price. CROW DOG'S TRIAL. The trial of Crow Dog for the mur- der of Spotted Tail is now in progress at Deadwood, and much interest is naturally manifested in the result. Spotted Tail, chief of the Brule Sioux, was murdered at Rosebud Agency on the bth of August, 1881, and the gen eral belief among people on the reser- vation is that he was the victim of a murderous conspiracy. A large number of Indians have been cited to Deadwood as witnesses to establish the claim of the defense that Crow Dog acted on the first law of nature, relf-preservation. The prosecution on the other hand is ready to prove that the shooting of Spotted Tail was a eold-blooded murder as a part of & conepiricy led by Crow Dog to make Black Orow chief of the Brule Sioux, There was also the hint of a scandal in connection with the crime, the exact nature of which was never disclosed, The assassina- tion was cowardly, Crow Dog getting the drop on his chief and firing with- out warning, The shot was a deadly one, and Spotted Tail did no live long enough to shed any light on the mys- tery. Tho assassination caused great excitement at the time, and but for the prompt arrest of Crow Dog as the murderer and Black Crow as an ac- cessory before the fact the conspiracy which had led to the murder might have led to the inauguration of a reign of terror among the Brules and trouble at the agency. By this decisive action the tendency of the Indians to centralize power in the person of a chiet who was bitterly epposed to the policy of the govern- ment to civilize the Sioux, was frus- trated. The crisis at the agency passed with the prompt arrest and im prisonment of the murderous con- spirators, Spotted Tail was hated by the de- signing men of the tribe for his friendly relations with the whites, and his death was deeply deplored at the agency aud throughout that sec tion, which, together with the natural prejudice against the cowardly act ‘of assussination aocounts in a measure for il interest manifested in the trial of Lis murderer. WheN Omaha was dependent en- tirely for fire protection on the water supply from cysterns and wells, there was some excuse for exacting high in- surance rates. But now that we have an ample and constant supply from our water works, insurance rates in Omaha should not be highr* than our institutions, and will be generally approved by the people. OCOIDENTAL JOTTINGS, OALIFORNIA. San Diego had her monthly earthqu-ke on the 11th.

The Central Pao fic Railroad company has endeuvored by law suits to prevent tha collection of taxes by the seversl coun ies in the state, on the asss«sments of the state b ard of equa ization. The supe- rior court ha« just aecided that the taxes must be paid or the roads sold, The smount involved is nearly £1,000,000. Shou'd the river levees again bec me en- dangered by fl ods, it is p:op.red to have & boat rowed up and down to windward of the leves, with cunvas bags full of oil towing a.te Enough vil would be al. lowed to s {m from the bags to spread over the whole suiface of the water on the north side «f the l-yee. Oil so Cis. tributed would, it is telieved, keep the water comparatively kmooth and protect the embmgmenl from the destructive ac- tion of the waves.

In fact, they should not be as high as they are in most cities, because our streets are very wide and the risk from destructive fires comparatively small. We remember vory distinetly that our local insurance agents prom- ised a great reduction in fire rates just as soon as our water works would be completed. Although the water works have, as yet, net beeu officially accepted, they have been in good working operation since November, but not & word has been heard from the insurance agents. AN IMPROPER USE OF THE ARMY. Cloveland Leador. During the famous railroad strike of 1877 the federal government was called upon to send troops to Penn- sylvania and West Virginia. The same thing has just been done in Ne- beaska upon the requisition of Gover- nor Nance. Itis befitting that L and order should be av all times main- tained, and in all parts of the county, out the growing practice of calling for federal troops to repress local disturb- ances, or overawe a few people dis- pused to be riotous, is exceedingly questionable. The states have their is announced in o Virginiu (Nevada) paper, ani che mauager of the carnival proclaims that pothing will be said or doue during the festi itie that could offend a wowan 80 de icate as to be in the last stages of consumption. - The valley of ths Muddy river, in Lin- cola county, i1 well adn; ted to growin cotton.

The Storey county treasury will now be flush for a while, It may be of interest to San Franoiscans of ‘vigilante times” that the old ‘‘Monu- mental” engine bell, which summ: ned the Vigilance Committees of the Golden City to their meetings, and which rang the death-knell of more than one dw]»rado, is in use in Truckee as the firs bell on the ngine hou-e of the Truckee Lumber Com- pany It is just as good as ever, and no doubt would “if cccasiom, requiiel, *ring out” the life of any enemy of the public as readily as of yore, MONTANA.

We can readily conceive that cases can arise, like that of the Dorr rebellion in Rhode Ialand, when the federal government may property in- terfere to save the legitimate authori- ties from overthrow, but the use of federal troops in a state when the local authorities are competent to deal with the cause of trouble can scarcely be justified. It wasan ac- knowledgment of weakness on the part of gl’cuuuylunin and West Vir- winis, as it 18 now on the part of Nebrasks, to call for tederal troops, Neobraska has a wilitia force of her own sufficiently strong to deal with the Omaha strikers, and the governor should have relied uoun this fcree to preserve the peico. During the mining troubles in this state, nor Foster never thought of callingfor foderal aid. He relied upon ofvil suthorities and the state militia to repreas all aggrossiveness, and the|), same course should be pursued b; other states. This matter of appeal- ing te the federal government for troops whenever a little local disturb- ance oocurs ought to be cheoked. If, however, it is left to grow into a habit, it will become necessary by and by to enlarge the regular army to the extent of & hundred thousand or more, Lot the states be made to de- pend on their own rilitia, and let the regular army be cunfined to its legiti- wate duties.
