The govern- ment having given titles to the settlers on these alleged railroad lands noth- ing remains but for congress to fight the cases to the courts of last last re- sort on behalf of the government, or to buy off those who claim a prior ownership, Senator Van Wyck, since the session of his investigation com- mittee in Lincoln last December, has been working hard to get the ques- tion settled in a manner which would afford the most speedy relief to the sottlers. It ts understood that the land sharks are willing to accept $1 an acre in lieu of all demands, and perhaps this is the readiest way out of the difficulty. m— Jorx I Davexrorr's detectives claim that they are on the rack of the A PexNSYLVANIA bank cashier has|drods or thousands of troops and make eloped leaving all his accounts square. | the people pay tax for their transpor- The race of bank cashiers seems to be | tation back and forth. deteriorating.

The ringleader of the conspiracy is said to have been one H. H. Hadley, a prominent officer of the Hancock republican - club, of New York. Hadley has told tostory of his connection with the forgery. While the details of the statement are sup- pressed, it is known that Hadley and his associates palmed off the letter as an original document upon the demo- cratic national committee, John I. Davenport, of New York, who de. serves the credit of having unearthed the forgery, is still engaged in follow- ing up the trail with the expectation of running the game into the demo- cratic camp, Ex-Senator Barnum is suspected of having had a knowledge of the forgery, and it is claimed by those who have investigated the mat. ter that snbsequent developments will lay a large share of the blame very close to hin door. The investigation already mado completely exonerates Representative A. 8, Hewitt of any knowledge of the forgery. It is re- ported, as gossip, that ex-Congress- man H. G. Worthington, who was collector of Customs at Charleston, 8. 0., during Patterson’s carpet-bag ad- ministration of that state, had a knowledge of the forgery. Worthing- ton is a native of Cumberland, Md., where Lindseylived. He was a mem- ber of the Hancock republican club. Tho story goes that Worthington per- suaded Lindsey to recollect that he knew Morey, and was familiar with his handwriting. TaE Bak called attention a few days ago to the enormous extent of the public domain granted to railroads by the Uni‘ed States, Interesting con- flrmation of our statements are found in an analysis of a letter recently sent to congroess by the secretary of the interior relating to the lapsed land grants. It appears, first, that the area of the lands granted to the Northern Pacific, the Atlantic & Pa- cific, the Texas Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the Oregon Branch of the Central Pacific, the New Orleans Pa. cific, and the Oregon & California, is 115,458,218 acres, or over 180,000 square miles—more territory than is contained in all the New England states, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland; second, that be- fore the time expired by which the granting acts required the roads to be finished these corporations had earned by the construction of miles of railroad pro rata for the number of ‘a¢res granted only 18,- 815,107 acres of 19,001 miles, less than one-sixth of the total amount of- fered, but a territory equal to all of New England except Maine, Third, that since the expiration of the time set for completion of the roads and up to the present time endugh miles have been completed to entitle the roads, if the principle is admitted that the cor- porations have an equitable claim to lands pro rata for each mule of road built, to 14,261,344 acres or 22,283 square miles, a territory larger than the area of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Clonnacticut and New Hamp- shire; fourth, that by failure to com- ply with the termsof the grants, these corporations have absolutely for- feited all claim to 83,674,478 acres, or 130,730 equare miles, which is now withheld from settlement. This is a territory nearly equal in extent to all of New England, New York, New Jersey and Maryland, or to the three groat central states of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, with a popu- lation of 6,000,000 of people, e e——— Now that the president has signed the Chinese bill the Pacific coast is recovering a little from the fit of pas- CLASSICAL CONCERTS Omaha's musical season may te said to have closed on Tuesday evening with the last of the second series of the Philomathean club concerts, Tax Bee desires to say a work in commen- dation of this organization, which has ministered to the pleasure of our peo- ple during the past winter. The six concerts of classical music given un- der the direction of Mr. George F. Sauer have marked a great advance in musical culture in our ecity, and have afforded the citizens of Omaha an op- portunity of acquainting themselves with a large number of really excel- lent compositions by the best mas- ters, It is as true of music asit1s of literature or art, that ac- quaintance with and study of the best works is the only true method of aequiring a corroct taste, and a self- satisfying culture. Germans are the most appreciative of good music be- eause GGermany is the most prohfic producer of the best in musical art, and the taste for the best 18 fostered from childkood through a never end- ing series of excellent concerts by skilled musicians. Art flourished so long and brilliantly in Italy, because Art at first fostered by wealth became in turn the stimulus to a peo- ple of artists. It was in “the atmos- phere, It asserted itself in every por- trait gallery, public building and square. In consequence Italy became & nation of art critics. The time has passed when an over practical generation in America can declare music and art are matters of little concern, Our every day life, with its wearing hurry and bustle, its nerve- destroying intensity of application, needs a relaxation which other coun- tries have not been slow to avail them- selves of. And good music, appealing at once to the cultured taste and the intellect as well as to the emotions, is a healthy sedative no less than a con- tinual education and source of pleas- ure which our people cannot afford to ignore. Omaha, like all comparatively new cities, has long been deprived of the musical advantages resulting from first-class resident musicians, Within the past tew years the nucleus has been gathering in the city, which if sufficient support can be guaranteed will form an excellent medium for rendering the best musie in the best form for our citizens. It is the inteution of the Philomathean club next year to greatly increase its membership, and enter upon a more ambitious form of entertainments than those which have been such a gratifying success during the past season. If the way seems clear, and why should it not, Omaha will be af- forded an opportunity of listening to & series of symphony concerts such a8 are given with success in the larger eastern cities, All that is needed on the part of our people is a generous personal and pecuniary support. It will not be enough to appear on the subscription lists. An appearance at the congorts themselves is equally de- sirable, With theso desiderata the success of our new musical organiza- tion can scarcely help being complete. Evexy Sam Randall finds himself unable to redeem the democratic minority from utter imbecility. Tur Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says that the lines are beginning to be drawn pretty sharply between republicans and dem- ocrats in the house as to the character of legislation for the remainder of the session, The appropriation bills are further advanced in committee than is usual at this stage of the session. The great legislative, executive and judi- cial bill, owing to the long experience, patient labor and energy of Mr. Can- non, of Illinois, who has it in charge, is nearly completed, but the republi- can plan is to hold back the appropria- tion bills as long as possible in the hope of passing » few of the more im- portant measures which are upon the calendar. The house calendaris loaded down with the important bills, and to this not one of them has been touched. There yet remain six appropriation bills to be passed—the District of Columbia, river and harbor, naval bill, sundry civil, legislative, executive and judicial, and the deficiency bill. Earnest as the republicans are that various important measures shall be passed ~among them the bill to extend the national bank charters and bills to reform the postal services in various ways—the democrats quite generally propose to prevent if possible any legislation except to pass the appro- priation bills, That object is largely partisan, as they wish to go to the polls with the complaint Lhat the re- publicans, when they had control of both branches of congress,accomplished nothing. This policy appeared to bead. vocated by Mr. ex-Speaker Randall, who chooses every occasion to inter- pose all manner of objections to the consideration of other measures.

Philadelphia Record, President Arthur has done justice to Genera! Fitz John Porter, 8o far as in him lies, by remitting a portion of the unjnst penalty of the court-mar. tial which disqualified him from hold- ing any office of trust or prohit under the government of the United States. In putting in the whereas of a ‘‘doubt’ the president made a needless conces- sion to a multitude who have never taken fhe trouble to understand the oase, and who mistake prejudice for opinion. The report of a board of distinguished army officers, who reviewed the proceedings of the court-martisl in a time far removed from the passions, jealousios and prejudices of the war, has shown that there is no room for doubt. In that report the board unanimously declares that Gen- eral Porter ‘‘saved the army from dis- aster” by skillful and soldierly con- duct for which he was condemned.

While President Arthur has done homage to intelligent public opiuion by remitting the remainder of the sen- tence, his expression of a doubt was gratuitous and ungracious, A Corp Phila, Press. The case against Judge Westbrook in regard to his relations with the Manhattan company swindles grow darker as the facts are brought more fully %o light. The investigation be- fore the assembly judiciary committee, on Saturday last, brought out most damaging testimony in the shape of the letters of the judge to the men who were engineering the stock-job- bing schems in the interest of the Gould combination, Judge West- ‘o0l brook allowed himself in his judicial action, to be guided by their suggestions. Informa- tion as to what his rulings were to be, and valuable suggestions and advices, were given only to the one side in the elevated railroad controversy. The other was daily betrayed by the judge who was sworn to act as_an impartial arbiter between them. He appearsas an additional counsel for Jay Gould rather than as a judge. The exact measure and extent of his guilt 18 not yet clear, but he manifestly violated all the proprieties of his posjtion, proved himself grossly unfit for the position he occupied, ard apparently furnished ample grounds for his im- peachment and removal from the bench. Takes it all Back, Exeter Enterprise. The more the advocates of woman suffrage agitate their peculiar views the more public sentiment don’t seem to change in their favor. A great many men, and not a few women have changed their opinions n this matter during the lazt fow months, and we predict 15,000 majority against the adoption of the amendment at the election. In nearly every school election in the stale, fof which southern democrats will find it excoed- ingly hard to hold their own this autumn, Virginia is in a ticklish condition, and the success of any form of independentism in the Caro- linas, Georgia, or Alabama this year will place the national demooracy at a serious disadvantage in the national election two years hence. Mr. Chalmers has been ousted, and |- Mr. Lynch, the republican contestant, has taken place, After all the howl- ing about fraud and “‘the Miesissippi plan,” the best that the republicans in the house of representatives could do was to figure for a majority of 386 for Lynch. In Claiborne,Quitman, Sharkey,yTunica, and Wilkinson coun- ties, in which, according to the census of 1880, the colored voting majority 18 5,795, Mr. Chalmers is conceded to have had a fair and square majority. The republicans could not squeeze a majority of any sort for Lynch, with- -out assuming that ballo s which were cast in violation of the state law were lawful ballots. This matter has been adjudicated by the supreme court of Mussissippi and by the decision of that court the result of the election was determined. The republizans appeal- ed to a “‘higher law,” the will of the majority. Mr. Robeson, it will be re- membered, went very far in proclaim- ing the freedom ot the republicans from any restraint or restriction- of the law or custom. Very well! But the democrats must fight as the re- publicans fight. The determination of the republicans is to do whatever lies within the power of a majority of the house of representatives to accom- plish It is the duty of the democrais to exercise the power of the minority to the utmost. There is no other wa; to meet the occasion. . On the firat vote on the motion to call up the Lynch-Chalmers case, 11 democrats did not vote who were not paired, and on the vote by which the case was called up 15 democrats did not vote who were not paired. This was wrong. The republicans had not members enough present in the house or in Washington to form a quorum, had the democrats abstained from voting, By abstaining from voting, the democrats could have prevented an account reached ' this of- fice, the female attendance was remarkably small, and their votes generally cast in the interest of politi- cal frauds who had been kicked out of office by their own sex. The En- terprise hereby stands up in meeting and takes back every thing it has s1id in favor of woman suffrage. However, those who are in favor of it can have all the space they want in its columns to ride their hobby, but they must furnish their own side-saddles or ride like the men. nations.

What would ' the republicans have done if Chalmers had belonged to their party? Unquestionably they would have voted to a man when they voted at all, and would have abstained from voting as long asin that way they could prevent action, Are democrats expected to be less wise or more scrupulous than republicans? There were peculiar influences at work, perhaps, in the Chalmers case. The sitting member was not popular at home or in the house. This in an excuse, but no justification. General Chalmers 18 a democrat, and that is reason enough for sticking to him and making the fight on him to extremi- ties, now that the republicans have raised the black flag anc. give no quar- ter, The republicans are losing ground rapidly in the north, as well as on the Pacificslope.

The ad- ministration organ in Washington bids high for southern democratic suppost, and hints that ‘‘adminstra- tion” democrats in othes states will be treated as generously as re- adjusters are in Virginia. Under these circumstances any failure om the part of the northern democrats in congress to stand shoulder to shoulder with the southern democrats, at all times, will weaken the party here in in the south, if it does not knock the bottom out of the party. The northern democrats hanker after the independent vote in the north and have a good chance of se- ouring a big part of it next November, but that vote will cost more than it is worth it the price paid for it is the surrender of the congressional districts in the south which the republicans claim as their own, Southern demo- crats will not consent to be ground to pieces between the upper and nether millstones of national republicanism and northern democracy.
