SterLING MoRrTON has evideutly put in an appearance at Washington, That malicious and scurrilous, attack on Senator Van Wyck to the Chicago Times shows his ear marks. And the Omaha Herald by design has copied it, of course. ONE of the candidates for the may- orality of Kansas City gives as a plank in his platform *'A rigid enforcement of the laws where the rights of the public are invaded by persons or cor- porations.” Omaha needs a little of the medicine very badly. —— WLk the south is clamoring so loudly for national grants for educa- tional purposes, it would be well for her to see what rhe can do without them, Iowa spends annually one and four-tenths per cent. of her taxable property for school purposes, while Georgla contributes but one-tenth of one per cent. for this object., Axp The Denver Tribuno has at last found out how it happened. It says: ‘It now transpires that Den- nis Kearney instigated the recent la- bor trouble at Omaha. This exoxer- ates Mr. E.

The so-called meeting of citizens of Omaha to protect themselves against an imaginary disaster from organized labor is very transparent to every thinking man, With John M. Thurs- ton at the head, and Frank Walters at the tail, the citizens' anaccnda is in reality, nothing more or less than a desperate move on the party of the curporate monopolies to retain control of our city council, and prevent the possibility of an anti-monopoly dele- gation to the next legislature, 1t was the same old crowd that we have seen here so often, mustering under the U, P, flag. With the ex- ception of four or five prominent tax- payers who havo lost their heads ever I'HE OMABHATDALLY BEF: FillDAY MARCH 51 1-@, miles long and very broad, while the Uvalde cave is six times as large. During the war the Confederates worked the caves and ebtained large quantities of salt petere from the de posita, The construction of the Texas Pacific railroad has made these great guano deposita available. A few weeks ago one English company made their first shipment of American guano to Lon- don and capital has been secured to thoroughly work all the deposits. As the guano sells readily at from fifty to sixty dollars a ton, the Texan caves are as good as & silver mine to their owners, while the immense quantity of the material on hand assures to the country for many years to come an sincn the late labor troubles, the busi- ness men did not put in an appear- ance. The procession that filed out of the Board of Trade rooms last night, as near as we can remember, was as followa: John M. Taurston, U. P.Jpolitical attorney; Leaviett Burnham, U. P. land commissioner; A. L. Robison, U. P. right-of-way attorney ; Howard Kennedy and P, L. Perine, U. P. land department ; G, F. Labagh, U. P. storekeeper of Holly notoriety; J. 8. Gibson, clerk at U, P. transfer; Paul Vandervoort, chief head striker; Charley Green, B & M. attorney; Robert Taylor, B. & M. olerk; W. I Baker, U. P. em- ploye; Fred Nash, U.

Prrry official thieving is made the text for an admirable article in the Philadelphia Press, in which tho small peculiarities which are con- stantly going on the national capital are characterized as less endurable than the larger scandals. Big expos- ures, says the Press, are like thunder- storms, they may level tall trees bat they clear the air, while the drizzling showers of small scandals, with which tho country has been drenched for six months past, do nothing but demoral- ise. It looks as if official life is seam- ed and corrupted with entire disregard of a high honesty in small things. “The government architect gets up house plans drawn by government clerks on goverument stationery in government office for everybody in official place, and government me- chanics build the buildings, *‘tempor- arily” relieved from the governmont pay roll. The goverament bindery binds books for congressmen and sends in no bill, The library of con- gress and all the other goverament libraries, big and little, are run like subscription libraries for officials, Government stationery turus up avery- where in Washington, governwent clocks tiek in scores of private houses, government desks stand under private roofs, government carpets cover pri vate floors—all over the government porr'd ;v in raining in sciue shape and private porridge pots are kept right side up with care to catch the drip- pings. ‘The scandals in the army and navy departments aro said to e quite as bad as in the civil cervice and the soap, periumery and toilet articles dealt out by the medical purvey are the joke of half of Washington The officigl conscience needs sharpening until the doctrige that the theft of & small article is theft as much as the embezzlement of millions, becomes recognized and is acted upon at the national capli), R. Risdon and Frank Walters. And these are the solil merchants of Omaha. Of the ticket these parties put up we have little to say except that the endorarnent from that crowd will hard- ly commend them to men who want good . wvernment in the interest of the re.' tax payers and not in the in terest of the corporations. Mr. Me Gavock was at one time an out and out anti-monoply man, but he has compromised his diffsrences, and now is heartily endorsed by Thurston, Van- dorvoort and Frank Walters. W. J. Kennedy is a respectble man, and a good citizen who we would like to see in the city council. But he has been put up by Thurston asa dummy to help Hascall whom the corporation cappers intend to pull through in the second ward by ways that are dark and tricks that are vain. Mr. August Weiss was put forward as 8 dummy to help Hornberger through, who is the real choice of the ‘‘same old crowd” and will receive their support. Weiss has already de- clined, as he was expected to do, and the field is now open to Hornberger. With Messrs. Dunham and Daily we have no tault to find. Mr. Daily has already declined. Whether Mr. Dunham will stand remains to be seen. Mr, Bakeris a reputable citi- zen but, of course, represents his employers the U. P, road. The school board has no political signiticance und Thurston thought it pethaps best to let the old board re- main, The citizens were advised not to take part in the party primarics, which have become very corrupt, but when the convention meots tho pecple will bogin to smell a mice. Thurston and Frank Walters will meantime sce to it that only their old crowd will go to the primaries and carry out the cooked up programme. A TEXAN 'BONANZA. Shipherd's Peruvian guano scheme has directed attention to the report that immense guano deposits exist in Texas, which, if properly worked, will render our country independent of all others for a supply of this fer- tiliser, Mr. Morton Freeven, well known to many in Omaha as a wealthy Wyoming stock raiser, has visited this guano territory, which lies in Uvalde county, western Texas, and reports that the deposits really exist and are found in immense caves, which for centuries have beon the resorts of bats, Tho lurgest, known asthe Uvaldecave, is located ncar the Trio rviver, The formar owner declaved that the de- posit in this one cave alone could not by exhuusted for tho next hundrod years. My, Freeven personally visitod auother cave, known as tho *‘Cibalo,” the eatravee to which was atout fifiy foet Lizh aud twonty-five feet wide, A long passage leads to the oulercave, whose floor for thirty feet is covered with the dry fertilizer, The atmos- phere is dry, and five years ago the guano caught fire, the whole surtace being burned over to the depth of four foet. Bince then, eight feet of guano have been deposited, and this, says;Mr. Freeven, proves that the fertilizer is being dep wited at the rate of mare than a foot and a half » year. This is only the ante-ohamber. On the far side of thia outer cave, in the side of the dome, is an opening six foet by eight foet in sise, Through this the bats go to an inner cave, which has never been explored. It is believed, however, to be very exten- sive, because of the imwense number of bats which daily sleep in it, and be- cause at the time of the fire great quantities of smoke escaped through orevices in the rock, near the Cibulo river, on the opposite side of the hill, two and a half miles from the main entrance.” This cave is believed to be two exhaustloss supply of this valuable fertilizer independent of the wars and contentions of our South American sistors, Tar time would appear to be com- ing when Gould and Vanderbilt, like Alexander the Great, will sigh be- cause no worlds remain for them to conquer. It is understood that these mighty monopoly magnates have come to an understanding, and propose to parcel out between themselves the greater portion of the transportation traffic of the country, if such an en- terprise can bs accomplished by the aid of boundless energy and untold wealth. New York advices state that negotiations have been begun for the consolidation of the Vanderhlt trunk lines, including the Chicago & North western with the Union and Central Paoific, thus giviig a eingle route, under one mauagement, between the Atlantic & Pacific. A second step is to be the consolidatien of all the Gould propertiee, making a great southeastern route to the Pacific. A money part of the coal roads and a consolidation of all the telegraphic and cable companics is also mention- ed. Whan these plans are consum- mated it will be in order for the peo ple of the United States to turn over the entire government to these worthy gentlemen on condition that they will assume all its liabilities and permit its people to exist as best they eun under the monopoly monarchy. OUR REASONS WHY. To ths Ed tor of 1un Bxg In a recent editorial, quoting a speech delivered by yourself before the workinvmen, you eay: ‘‘Every American workingman is entitled to sufficent food and a comfortable home.” Will you kindly inform s subscriber just what you mean by this sentence. I am not one of that class who believe that ‘‘the world owes every man a liviog” unless in_ value received for his labor, and I canuot see what difference there is between such state- ments as that quoted above and the com.munistic howlings of lazy and worthless demagogues of the Justus Schwab school. I thiuk that lan- guage of this kind has a tendency to do a great deal mors damage than good, both to the cause of labor and the interests of society. CiTizEN. Our position piainly stated is this: In a country as produciive as the United States overy able-bodied man who does a full day’s labor should earn enough wages to rupply foud, clothing and shelter for himself and his family. In other words, every man in this country who is willing to work in this country is entitled to such wages as will pay for coarse, plain and wholesome food, for com- fortable shelter and decent clothing. When men who are able aud willing to work do not earn enough to meet these simple wants and necessities of life thero is a radical wrong. Society owes every working man a living, but it owes nothing to the drones that re- fuse to work. If this is rank com- munism the editor pleads guilty to the charge, Colonies for Manitoba.

Many of children are ures of health and beauty, prov- ing that the commingling of nationali- ties is producing w higher type of humanity. THE CABLE STREET RAILROADS are a perfect success, climbing the steepest hills and extending four miles in length, though none ot them here (a8 in Chicago) turn at right angles. ‘They run at & speed of about six miles an hour and are under perfect contro' of the brakeman, who stands on the front car, called a ‘‘dummy,” hand. ling a lever like that attached to w low pressurs engine. On the lower end of the lever is & clamp that take: hold of the wire cable, which is in corstan motion, about 18 inches under ground and is reached by the lever through a slot in the middle of the track. The car cannot go backward, nor can it stop on a steep hill, except by the use of the ordinary brake, as the cabln is constantly going one way, while on the other track it is returning. Two oars aro attached; the first (dummy) is an open car, with the seats turned outward and back to back, like an Irish jaunting car, and, singular as it tiay appear, the majority of the ladies prefor to ride in that car, with their feet turned outside, and the result is, when the wind is blowing, there is often n finer exhibition of calves than you will find at the October agricultural fair, The fare is b cents, which often in- cludes a free transfer on some cross iine, owned by the same company. San Francisco has no cause to com- plain of her streot car lines, though, as in St. Louis, some of them do not keep between the tracks in order. Altogether it is a great step in ad- vance over the poor tired car-horse and should be adopted in all cities. Ihe ordinary horse car here is now looked upon with as much disgust as tue people of 8t. Louis look at the bobtail, PARKS AND DRIVES, The only park of any considerable dimension is the Golden Gate park, o mtaining about 1,800 acres, It lies between the city and the ocean and was purchased about eight years ago, when it was nothing but a sand heap, while now by economical and careful mauagement more than half of it has been reclaimed by the setting out of evergreen and eucaliptic trees with close cut plats of greensward that would rival even now any English lawn, and making excellent drives of marl and gravel found in the moun- tains near by, that when properly laid on and rolled makes a splendidly hard and smooth drive. The distance from the heart of tiw city through the nearest park to tiw ocean at the Ciiff houso is about :ic miles, and every day in the weok, buv paricularly on Saturday aftornoon, the streets and drives leading to the park and oe an are lined sith vehicles ot every de cription, a3 well as ladios aud gentlew: i on horseback, and the writer would resp.ctfully request that you send out your “Adonis,” as the lady equest:ienucs seem t) be largely 1n the majo.ity, and there is no doubt they would hail with ple sure the ar- rival of some of the manly specimons that are wont to «xhibit themselves in the saddlo to the admiring eye of the sofrer sex in St. Lovis. The CLff house, as its name indi- cates, s’an.s on n prominent rock jut- ting out iato the sea, and while it is “open to all” for a hostelry and res- taurant, it is 8o conducted the most fastidious can tind no fault. It was near this point that a tew| days ayo the writer witnessed A STORM AT SEA. The clouds had been lowerit the afteruvon, and about five o'viccs the sky touk on a leaden hue, and the storm was at its height, with a full tide. The wind blew a hurricane and the waves, in fapid succession, spent vhemselves against the sea rocks, just outside the Ciiff house, and at times entirely engulfing them, though they stand more than fifty feec outof water. On and on the waves came, as if bent on reaching the Cliff house, which #rood thus far safely ensconced be- hiud the seal rocks, but finaily as wave after wave broke over the outer barriers the shattered waves continued their course in spray and foawm, until at times the enure building was en- veloped, and so the strife of the ele- ments coutinued until night set i, making the eceve, if possible, still more weird, It was a wild scene, but [ enjoyed it, for baving been in a storm at sea where tho elements waged war on the vessel aud all on board, I folt a kind of savage satisfaction at unmovable rocks, that seemed to say **T'hus far shult thou go, and no far- ther,” and while sittivg and enjoying entire security from the storm, I was reminded of an old gentleman who came on deck during a storm at sea with pallid lips and heaving stomach who said the man was a fool who wrote ‘‘A Life on the Ocean Wave.” T was reminded at the same time of the Irshman that looked at the steam excavator at work and daid, “Ye may dig canals, and ye may make railroads, but ye can’t vote!” And 80 I could sit and enjoy the ocean in its fury, without the tear of being en- gulfed by its waves or even having the atomach turned. It was a grander sight than to stand and se2 some other man's pro%ny burned ! ‘ery respectfully, JosePH BrowN, Postoffice Changes in Nebraska during the week ending March 25, 1882, furnished by William Van Vleck, of the postoffice depart- ment: Established—Addison, Knox coun- ty,, Oliver H.
