The ghost of Cronin still haunts the Herald office. NrpraskA has fallen off in the number of papers published in 1881. ‘There is still room for improvement. SEVERAL political slates were smashed in our city election, hence there is weeping, waillng and gnash- ing of teeth. E——— Tuk Republican intimates that Mr. McGuckin refused to make pledges to Rosewater. What pledges was he asked to make!? Noruixe horrifies Hascall as much as the suspicion that some of his own political methods may have been used by other parties in Omaha elections. Txe only man that The Republican can’t stomach is Fred Behm in the Second ward. Fred didn't want te give up orsell his proxy last year and Yost thinks he is a very bad man. THERE were seventy-seven votes against the proposition to take up in the house the bill to extend national bank charters. The charters of near- ly three hundred national banks ex- pire in February next. IN nine months the United States has reduced the public debt by $114,. 332,389, and, should the present rate of payment be maintained until the end of the fiscal year, the total debt payment for the twolve months will amount to $152,443,185, THy grain crop of the season on the Pacific coast promises to be unusually good, Heavy rains have fallen, and farmers are happy. In California alone the wheat crop is estimated at about 1,515,000 ‘tons, A few more statistics like these will knock the bottom out of eastern wheat corners. ANNOUNCEMENT is made that con- versation through the telephone has ‘been successfully carried on between ‘Boston and New York. What Omaha would be especially interested in is a telephone which‘could be successfully worked between the exchange and residence and business houses in the city. Cororavo is badly torn up over the senatorial vacancy created by the appoiftment of Teller to the cabinet. Governor Pitkin, who has the smenatorship at his disposal, is besieged by the friends of half a dozen candidates, and the executive chamber is packed with monster pe- titions, Uneaay lies the head that Wears & crown, Tae manner in which Jesse James was killed is denounced in some quarters as cowardly, But as the Ohicago Times very sensibly points out the belief was gar'mnl that he would have to be reduced to the con- dition of a corpse before a warrant could be served on him, and though the method of his arrest was a little irregular, it could have been accom- plished by no other means than those which were used. SEE———— Suxaror VANWyoK’s inquiries into the land surveying frauds have result- ed in a bill, reported by the senate committee on public lands, which pro- vides that there shall be appointed by the president, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, not exceed- ing five inspectors for the surveyors ral and district land offices, who shall each be entitled to a salary of $3,000 per year and actual traveling oxpenses, whose duty it shall be, un- der the direction of the commissioner of the general land office, to inspect surveyors general and district land offices, and the operation of the public land system, includidg the sys- tem of survey, and who shall perform a8 may be required of by the said comnissioner or secretary of the interior. They shall have authority at all times to examine the and records of the survey- org gen and district land offices, and the work of the deputy surveyors in the field, and shall have power to administer oaths whose to all evidence may &.%_ course of their inves! A PHRAUD! PHRAUD! PHRAUD! The editors of The Herald and Re- publican, who were dumb-founded by the terrrible disaster that overtook their crew on Tuesday, have recov- ered sufficiently to raise the hue and ory of “Fraud! Fraud! Fraud!” The usual harmony that prevails between these brass.colored twins manifests itaelf again in this case when they btth cry *“Wolf” at the same moment. Dr. Miller says that there ‘‘is evi- dently serious ground for the charge of fraud in respect to the method em- ployed to vote unregistered men on affidavits,. The number of these affi- davits in proportion to the vote cast in the second and third wards is be- lieved to have been altogether too large for an honest vote, and it is also charged that nhese affidavits were illegal in form and fraudulent on their face.” There is no doubt affidavits were quite numerous in the Second ward as they always have been since Hascal] has been registrar. For years at every election complaint has been made that Hascall has gerrymundered the registration lists at the Second ward leaving out those he didn’t want and accommodating parties whom he believed disposed to vote for him. Two years ago and last year there were more men sworn in on affidavits than there were this year. Councilman McNamara who had some experience with Hascall's way of registering vot- ers can tell his fellow councilmen how the legal voters of the Second ward are annoyed and harassed every year. Hascall can never be found when people want to be registered, he ad- vertises a sitting and fails to put in an appearance, and purposely neglects to publish the printed list of registered voters until the morning of election, There were fully four hundred voters entitled to vote in the Second ward whose names did not appear on the list. There wos no other way for those who were left off except to swear their votes in. Many of these were old and well-known residents of the ward. Those who swore their votes in did so on affidavits sworn to and witnessed before notaries, As to repeating and fraud, if there was any, let those who know any- thing about it make the proper com- plaint and have the parties arrested. With the decided majorities given in the First, Second and Third wards there can be no doubt as to the voice of the people in that respect, but if the defeated candidates desire to con- test those seats thero is a legal rem- edy provided. 8o far as the council is concerned they have no right to go behind the returns, The council is simply to witness the canvass and direct the clerk to make out deliver certificates to the parties elected. If any fraudulent voting has been done the contesting candidates must seek their remedy in the courts. 1if these corporation organs are raising the cry of fraud for the purpose of commit- ting a fraud on the electors, they will discover that they will stir up a hor- net's nest, DESTROYING THE FOREIGN MARKET. It is a serious question whether speculative prices in grain and pro- visions are of any real benefits to our producers. During the past winter millions of bushels of grain have been locked up in elevators and storehouses throughout the country, A short crop and the prospects of a large for- eign demand at once raised the price of all cereals to a limit higher than had been known for years. A ‘‘cor- ner” in wheat, lard and pork was im- mediately formed by capitalists to purchase in large quantities and hold for an advance, and within a few months over thirteen millions of bush. els of grain were securely locked out of the market. Grain rose steadily, and the prices obtained by our farm- ers recompensed them handsomely even with a shorter crop than usual for the market, That there wasa present gain to the farmer was admit- ted by many, The question presses itself whethor the future will not prove the advanced prices to have been dearly purchased by the pro- ducers of the country. In the first place there is great dan- ger that the speculative high prices of the past winter have greatly in- jured our foreign market. The power of readily disposing of our surplus production of breadstuffs has strong influence upon the home mar- kets, In 1880 the United States ox- ported of wheat alone 158,252,795 bushels, valued at $190,648,505, In the following year, ending June 30, 1881, the exports fell to 150,575,678, valued at $1067,608.485. Of this enormous surplus a large proportion went to Great Britain, It is plainly to our intarest to supply the foreign demand for produce at the lowest price consistent with fair profits, That demand has proved the balance to our dom.stic demand, and has acted as a constant relief to the home mar- kets by preventing overstocking and maintaining prices. But our surplus of last year's crop has been held by “‘corners” in various forms manipu- lated by shrewd and unscrupulous operators, What has been the result! American wheat has been virtually shut out frow Furopean countries, which would gladly have taken our prodyce at . paying prices, but who have now been compelled to scour the WP A RN T M M Y I'ftks UMAHA DALY BEE: FRIDAY APRIL 7 10862 . world and secure from the remotest points far larger supplies than were ever before obtained or would have been thought of but for the course of speculation here. The American Agriculturist, one of the ablest of agricultural papers, points out the important conse- quences which have followed from the American in wheat. During five months ending February 1 Great Jritain receceived from British India, Russia and Germany nearly 13,000,000 bush- els more wheat than during the same corner period of the previous year. These thirteen million bushels have lain all the while in our storehouses and ele. vators, and would have been taken from us at good paying prices, and the cash returned, had gambling speculators not prevented it. And what is worse, not only have new sources of supply been opened, and larger production stimulated to com- pete with us in the future, but Great Britain has practically secured and has within sight so large a stock that we are likely to lose this season - the sale of much we have to spare. Other figures show that up to February 1, Great Britain had already secured of wheat and fiour for consumption, 27, 703,630 1bs,, more than at the same date last year; 360,602,800 1bs., more than in 1880; and 104,448,492 Ibs. more than in 1870, Yet with this fact before us, with relatively larger stocks on hand here than at the same date last year, the speculators would delude the public into believing that the present or higher prices will pre- vail; and they will keep this up until they inveigle enough “lambs”to take oft their hands their enormous specu- lative holdings and contracts. The same effects are noticeable in our other staple products, especially lard, pork and bacon. The only ad- vantage which appears is that a few of our producers succeeded in realizing a little better prices than would: have prevailed without the speculative mania. But as the Agriculturist points out, ‘‘this single present gain is quite likely to be offset in the future by the great stimulus given to wheat culture in India, Australia, southeastern Europe, northern Africa, and elsewhere, which will compete with us hereafter in the European markets; and our farmers are thus likely to lose in the end far more than they have gained by the great grain speculation of 1881-2.” High prices, which destroy a market and frighten away purchasers, are not profitable in the end, and if this turns out to be the result of the ‘‘corner- ing" operations in our large cities our farmers will have none but the specu- lators to thank for the result. THE CABINET. The nomination of Henay M. Tel- ler as secretary of the interior and ‘Wm. E. Chandler as secretary of the navy complete President Arthur's cabinet. 1t was generally conceded that Robert Lincoln would remnin at the head of the war department, and he is the only member of the Gar- field cabinet retained by Garfield’s successor. It was eminently proper for President Arthur to select as his! counsellors men whose political views are in accord with his own, With the exception of Mr. Chandler, the cabinet is made up from what is known as the Grant and Conkling wing of the republican party, and in full harmony, politically, with the president. Mr. Chandler was Mr, Blaine's ablest champion at Chicago, but this concession to the Blaine wing of the party will not meet with favor from any class of republicans who desire to see a clean handed adminis- tration. M, Chandler is reputed to be second to no man in this country as & political organizer, but does mnot ‘enjoy popular confidence as a man to be trusted with the responasibility devolving ona cabinet ofticer. The proposed revival of the navy, which will involve an outlay of over twenty millions will afford temptations and opportunities for jobbery which may become a source of scandal under Mr, Chand- ler that would veflect dishonor up(’)n the republican party, and bring dis- grace on the administration. The selection of Henry M. Teller as secre- tary of the interior will also meet with little favor among republicans who desire to see the affairs of this government administered in the inter- est of the people rather than corporate monopolies, Mr. Teller's former em- ployment as attorncy of the Union Pacific, coupled with the fact that the Pacitic railway managers have urged his appointment, cannot fail to cause grave concern, President Arthur has committed an unpardonable blunder in placing the interior department under control of the land grant railroads. Mr, Teller might have filled any other cabinet position without detriment to the pub- lic interest, but he cannot in the nature of things discharge his obliga- tions to his railway backers, except at the expense of the people of the Unpi. ted States. It would have beon more satisfac. tory to the section west of the Mis. souri to have continued tlcee years longer witaout a special representative in the cabiuet than to be misrepre. sented, since Mr, Teller, at best, a good deal more than he will Ne- braska, Ooloraco and the Pacific slope. Mr. EAps is an excellent lobbyist, and his friends in Washington are confident that the ship railway bill will pass both houses of congress by decided majoriti There are some strong arguments used in behalf of the measure, great stress being laid on the point that the government is asked to do nothing at a venture, Captain Eads is required to build ten miles of railway with the necessary terminal works, and to carry a vessel that distance by rail before any liabil- ity is assumed by the government, while the entire railway must be con- structed and a vessel of six thousand tons transported from ocean to ocean before the government liability ex- ceeds more than ten millions of dol- lars, When the roadis completed the government guarantees fifty millions of the company’s bonds, which in- debtedness is to be discharged by the company within fifteen years. Dar- ing ninety-nine years the company agrees to transport free all govern- ment stores, mails, ships and troops. Although several prominent engineers declare Captain Eads’ schome feasible, it is very probable that the United States will never be called upon to as- sume any hability in connection with the undertaking. For the first time since the 24th of September, 1878, the supreme court of the United States again consists of nine working members. Owing to the long-continued incapacity of Jus- tices Clifford and Hunt, and the pro- tracted vacancies which followed the resignations of some of the others, the court, always behindband, has fallen hopelessly in the rear of its business, It is impossible for it to catch up without relief from congress; but 1t oughtat least to prevent the long list of cases awaiting & hearing from becomirg any longer. All the ap- pointees of the last five years, com- prising now a majority of the court— Justices Harlan, Woods, Matthews, Gray and Blatchford—are men hav- ing their work still in them, and should together be able to give a for- :ward impetus to the supreme court business, of which it has long stood in need. The leisurcly methods and frequent adjournments of the supreme court and the indisposition of many of the old judges for continuous work are undoubtedly largely responsible for that body's being nearly four years behind its work. Frank WALTERS and several other patriotic scavengers are working up o called election frauds in the First and Second wards. It looks very much as if Citizen Thurston, of the U. P., and Citizen Green, ot the B. & M., had put their heads together to concoct a scheme for counting out the men elected by the people.

Bolemn Religious BServices---Their First Prayer forthe United States-- Bathing the Babies. Philadelphia Times, Strauge sights were witnessed yes- terday in the old West Philadelphia depot, where the Israeli.e refugees from Russia, through the generosity of the citizens, are afforded a tempora- home and shelter. With sundown the sabbath commenced — their first sabbath in what they have been led to regard the free and promised land where they would be permitted to worship God in peace according to their conscienco. As evening approached, a certain air of formality, and an indication of the near approach of an impertant occa- sion, became perceptible. Every man, woman and child had rested, after the trying fatigue of over six weeks’ con- stant travel. They had bathed, the men and children’s hair had been cut, beards had been trimmed, and every person was attired in clean clothes from head to foot. There was an un- mistakable Sunday appearance about every one who emerged from the sep— erate dressing rooms set apart for the two sexes. A little before six o’clock, according to old orthodox Jewish rites, all the mothers of children pre- sent took a candle, and making a cir- cle with it, stood by the bedside and blessed it with a prayer, These can— dles were then LIGHTED BY VOUNG GIRL And placed on an altar improvised along the shelf of what was formerly the ticket window, and still bearing the sign. The immense space in which passengers used to wait for the trains has been divided into two parts, and the part nearest Market street, including the ticket window, is filled with cot beds, where the women and children sleep. When the candles were lighted, looking very strange as they stood together, secured to the flat surface, and without any other object whatever on the altar, all the women and children in the room stood silent and engaged in their de- votipns, facing east, where the sacri— ficial h‘)la, with candles, was erected. The women's prayers, different from the men’s, are never audible. This service on the part of the women is alwa reliminary to the service in which the men engage. It had no sooner finished than a small, serious, dark-hearded man emerged from the men's room, and going into what was formally a restaurant, and now used as the dining room for both men and women, placed the ‘‘tailith,” or fringed mantle, over his head and shoulders, opened his book, printed in large He- brew characters, turned his face close to the wall, looking eastward, and be- gan the snecial Sabbath service of thanksgiving, Very quickly and vesy quietly all the men gathered in rows, one rank behind another and ali facing east. Every man wore his hat through the service. Small as had been their baggage, every man had his well worn and thinly-thumbed prayer book n his hands, After re- peating, in a low, solemn voice, with that rapidity of short syllables which is a peculiarity of the Hebrew ton- gue, a number of selections about Da- vid, the simple shepherd, and Goli- ath, the proud possessor of power, the chanter sang in mere JOWFUL STRAINS David's victory and the giant’s fall, at which all present in chorus intoned antiphonally some of David’s own songs, such as: “The Lord is nigh unto all ffthem “that call; upon Him: He delivereth His people. ng unto the Lord with tuanksgiving; sing raise upon the harp unto our God. 'he Lord upholdeth all that fall and raiseth all that he bowed down, He perserveth the strangers, He reliev— eth the fatherless and widows; but the way] of the wicked he turneth up- side down,” A hymn from Samuel was then intoned, followed by the repetitionof thecommandmentrespect - ing ‘“‘the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” |As asort of climax the most impressive part of the service was then reached, when the cantor proceeded to relate the usual prayer for rulers. With who knows what reluctance it has been their custom in the past, ac- cording to the ritual, to pray for the COzar. For the first time in their lives they sent up with one voice the prayer that ‘‘the Presidant of these United States in whoee lands we now rest, and all loth ers in authority, may be given wisdom and spared to uselessness and prosperity.” During this invocation all stood with their faces upward, and some raised their hanps. In the spe- cial prayer for deliverance from bon- dage, which closed the service, ex clamations of joy went up from every throat. Following this the women |and children filed out, and after a solemn blessing all sat down to their evening meal. It was very late on Thursday night before the ablutions of the par ty, insi upon by the commiitee, were finished, and THE WASHING OF THE BABIES Was ascene such a¢ has never been witnessed here before. Owing to . |limited accommodations andjthehurry, the four large tubs, each about ten feet square, had to be filled at once. There were forty or fifty screaming infants and children in the tubs at ance, splashing and kicking and fight- ing the ladies who were superintend ing the difficult operation. When they came out there was not time to dress them, and they were put in bed tion of the men and women to their new clothes was remarkable, and made them look anything but Rus- sian, Blue polkadot wrappers, dross- es with flounces, tight-fitting basques and a variety of other garments which reaple of wealth had worn a little and aid aside made a marked change in the appearance of the women. They all insisted, however, on tying the red handkerchiefs given out around their heads, and could not be persuaded to take them off, The men were rigged in high hats and slightly worn suiis, many of them of late fashionable cut, Mr. Sanson, one of the interpreters of the courts, who was present, talk- ed considerable with the refugeea,and found that they were all happy and fuil of protestions of thanks for the kind reception they encountered, The women, on meeting the ladies of the committee, usually courtesey and kiss their hands with great politeness. The more they are seen the more fa- vorable the impression made by strangers, and scores of offers of situa- tions are coming in. OCOIDENTAL JOTTINGS. OILIFOHNIA.
