His appoint- ment on the tariff commission is said GIVE OMAHA A CHANCE There is no doubt that the bad wenther has caused much damage to our merchants in a reduction of trade, but bad weather is not the only cause of trade depression. It is a notorious fact that thousands upon thousands of dollars are sent to Chieago, St. Louis and New York by Omaha bankers, wholesale dealers and men of means for clothing, farn ture, books, dresses, carpets, and even groceries, which can bo bought just as cheap in Omaha, Some of our wealthiest people pa- tronize eastorn houses with orders for household furniture, carpots and arti- cles of luxury when they could just as readily buy the same articles in Omaha for the same price or even less money. Only the other day one of the pro- prictors of the Millard Hotel went east to furnish that house when he _ | could have given his orders to Omaha merchants for tho same articles with the same discount that he receives abroad. It is a common thing for some of our wealthiest men to order groceries, fruits and provisions by the barrel or box from the east, when they can buy the same line of goods in Omaha. Our female snobocracy have set the bad example of sending for their dresses to Chicago and New York, as if Omaha did not afford them the opportunity for shoddy display, and these people pay two prices in the east for the same goods that they can buy right here. 5 No wonder retail merchants com plain of dullness in trade. It is so with manufacturers. Orders are sent every season for cast iron fronts, hardware and other articles necessary in building of store houses and pri- vate dwellings, when our home manu- facturers could duplicate the articles if they only were patronized. In many instances not a bid is taken in Omaha for any of theso articles, and we aro told that the leading architects discourage patronage to home manufacturers because the for- eign factories allow them a per centage. As long as Omaha will refuse to patronize herself she cannot expect to grow to be a great city. We have reached a stage of commercial prom- inence that compels our dealers to procure full stocks of the best goods in the market. Our dry goods houses, milliners and dressmakers can supply the most fas- tidious fashionable lady with all the gew gaws and finery that the most aeathotic taste will demand. Our to be certain. — Tuas statement is made that little more than 25,006,000 of the public domain suitable for farming remains unsold. Since the passage of the homestead law over 21,000,000 acres have been entered The railroad grants exoeed 154,000,000 acres. Nearly 69,000,000 acres have been granted for schools and universities, while an additional 9,600,000 acres are credited to agriculiural and mech- anical colleges in different states, Without any oonsideration patents have been given for 651,900,000 acres of swamp and overflowed lands in the states in which they lie. The govern- ment has paid out for its lands in- cluding the original price the cost of surveys and for the extinguishment of Indian titles $322,000,000 while it has recived from sales $200,000,000. S———— GENERAL TeRRY has ordered plans and estimates for a ten company post at Fort Snelling, and all the details have been arranged looking to an equal enlargement of the capacity of Fort Omaha, It seems to be the policy of the government to consolidate the forces soattered throughouv the west, at fewer points adjacent to the great lines of railroad. This will compel the abandonment of a number of posts for which there is no necessity. Fetterman and Sanders in the depart- ment of the Platte have been already broken up and the commands trans- ferred to Fort Steele, and it is under- stood that Fort Cameron in Utah and Fort Hall in Idaho will shortly follow, It is claimed that safety and economy are both inoreased by the concentra- tion of forces on the railroads. In case of an outbreak the command can be more rapidly transferred to the seat of war, And the maintenance of soldiers near a city is much cheaper than where large expenses must be incurred in hauling freizht from a distant railroad. Tue Burtontan thinks on the whole that perhaps Watson Parrish would make & good district 'il’l:(:go in case Judge Savage resigns. .

My, Parrish is being provided for. He has been endorsed by COongress- man Valentine for the position of government director of the Union Pacific railroad by and with the cou- sent of John M. Thurston, That great bug-bear, Omaha, has nothing to say about that office. We presume Burt county will return the compli- wment, and give our Val a solid dele- gation for a third term. grocers and commission merchants have as good a supply as can be found in Chicago or elsewhere. Our fur- nishing houses can fit any mansion with all the modern furniture and carpets that wealth and taste can crave for, Our factories may not be as large or complete as those in the east, but the only reason that they do not grow to the importance that the local de- mand would warrant is because our home capitalists give them little or no enoouragement. 1If every man and woman in Omaha would make it their business to spend their money at home, we warrant that our trade would be quite brisk, even during rainy and cold weather. There is altogether too much selfiish- ness and flunkeyism in Omaha among people who have made their fortunes here, and who ought to be willing to spend their money whero they have made it. If these people and those penny wise and pound foolish capitalists,who would rather send clear across the Atlantic to save a few dollars on an iron front or a set of furniture, would patronize our home merchants and manufacturers Omaha would have fower grumblers, and people whe pay high rents would have less difticulty to make ends meet at the end of each months, Tae decigion of the Ohio supreme court declaring the Pond high license law unconstitutional has created quite a sensation in the Buckoeye state. The Pond law was modelled after tho Ne- braska Slocumb law, butit did not impose as many restrictions upon the traflic in liquor as the Nebraska law, The Pond law made the license tax $300 per annum for all quantities and qualities of liquor in towns and cities of every class, while the licensein this state is not less than $1,000 a year in cities of ever 10,000, and not less than $500 in villages or towns below 10,000 population, The decision of the Ohio courts is based upon the ground that the con- stitution of Ohio prohibits the grant of license to sell liquor. The Pond law licensed the traftic in lignor con- trary to this provision—hence it was was declared void. In Nebraska, however, the state constitution does not prohibit the license granted under the Slocum law, hence our courts ‘sustainod the’ law as con- stitutional. The outcome of the Ohlo decision will be for the time be- 1ng free trade in liquor, with no rev- enue for the state from the tariff, ex- cept from fines imposed in violating local ordinances, and the Sun- day laws, The indications are that a vigorous effort will be made to submit a oconstitutional mendment next year aathorizing s license tax upon the liquor traffic, which experience has demonstrated to be the most practical way of checking the abuses which grow out of an unre- stricted traffic in liquor, The Nobraska law, so far as it has been tested, has been more effective in diminishing the evils of intemper- ance than absolute prohibition could possibly have been. Tt prohibits where public sentiment sustains prohibition, and it imposes wholesome resirictions where the public sentiment would sustain the clandestine traffic in liquor if no license was granted. There are some features of the Nebraska law so manifestly oppressive that public officers seem reluctant to enforce them. The $1,000 license tax is imposed on retailers of beer in this city whose sales may not average over five dol- lars per day, while the dealers in wines and whisky, brandy, ete., whose tales aggrogato 8500 a day pays no more, If the liquor tax was graded 'the law could be more rigidly en- forced and the worst evils of the traffic would be eradicated as far as laws can d A GREAT STRIKE, The attempt to secure a compromise between the iron masters and their workingmen has failed, and yesterday the atrike, which began at Cleveland +wo weeks ago by the closing of the mills at that point, became general, involving the entire iron interests of the country., The prospects are that 100,000 men will voluntarily be thrown out of employment before the end of the week, and that 500,000 people, whom they represent, will have to be maintained from the fund of the several Iabor organiza- tions representing the industry. The demand for an advance in wages and the refussl by the iron masters to meet the demand, was the cause lead- ing to the present strike. The scale of prices oktained in Pittsburg, as a general thing, regulates the wages of operatives throughout the country. Nearly a month ago the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel workers submitted a new scale of prices, which included a general advance of 10 per cent in wages. The same demand was made in Oleveland, Cincinnati, Chi- cago and St. Louis. Pending the answer of the Pittsburg man- ufacturers the Cincinnati mills granted the advance, Cleveland, St. Louis and Chicago iron masters re- fusing. Yesterday was fixed upon us the day for closing the mills in tle latter places, and the programme seems to have been strictly carried out. Workingmen in all the districts complained that the advance de- manded was necessary in order to meet the great increase in the cost of living. Manufacturers replied that it was im- practicable to grant the request in the face of a drooping market, and a de- creased demand for pig iron and steel. Wild cat railroading is primarily re- sponsible for the whole trouble. More railroads were constructed last year than were demanded by the develop- ment of the country. Thousands of miles were built for the sole purpose of floating watered stocks and bonds on the market and lining the pocket books of reckless speculators. The demand upon the iron industries for rails and the various articles required in railroad construction and equip- ment was enormous, and unduly stim- ulated the industry. When the bot- tom fell out of the meovement the manufacturers found themselves with heavy stocks on their hands and a greatly diminished demand for their goods. Meantime the speculative boom assisted by a small harvest in- creased the price of living. The pur- chasing power of a dollar was dimin- ished from 156 to 20 per cent. and labor became restless, the demand for increased wages naturally following. These two elements combined, de- creased production and increased cost in living, make the present strike most unfortunate. Experience has proved that strikes on a falling market are ill-timed. The interests of the manutacturers when stocks are heavy and the demand light are generally best served by greatly diminished produetion, which is just what a closing of the mills brings about. It remains, however, to be seen whether, in the case of an article of such universal consumption as iron, the manufacturers will be able to hold out against such a protracted strike as the present one threatens to be. Under an exorbitant tariff pro- tection, the profits last year to a few iron monopolists were over $2,000,- 000 on the same amount of capital. Will the men who reaped such an enormous return on their investment bacontent to let their capital remain long idle? This is the question which the Amalgamated Iron and Steel asso- ciation of operatives is asking. —_— On10AGo is the third manufacturing city in America, according to the figures furnished by the census bu- rean, Its annual product is double that of Boston; more than double that of 8t, Louis; two and a half times that of OCincinnati; three times that of Baltimore, and nearly equal to that of Bt. Louis, Cincinnati and Pittsburg combined. ———— Or course we need a double track air line railroad between New York and San Francisco, but if Omaha is to be a way station we would prefer to lol John Pope Hodnett wait a few years longer, A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT. At their last session the city coun- cil exempted several blocks in the lower part of the city tiom the opera- tion of the fire ordinance. This is & very dangerous precedent and cannot be condemned too strongly. There are already too many frame shanties in the business portion of our ecity or on streets which before long must be given up to the use of our merchants. The general demand is for an exten- sion of the fire limits, and the strict enforcement of the present fire limit law. If the action of the city council is allowed to become a precedent, every small property owner on streots adjoining our main thor- oughfares who wants to save a few dollars on a projected building will petition the council to exempt his lot from the operation of the fire ordi- nance. The fire limits were not created for individual benefit, but for the general safely. They have been extended from time to time, as busi- ness has passed beyond their boun- daries, or as the direction and de- velopment of trade has dictated. Every reason exists why they should net be cut down, and any step in that direction will be worse than a blunder on the part of the city council. Omaha in interested that brick biocks shall take the place of the unsightly sheds and shanties that blotch so many of out best traveled streets. It isa well known fact than in nine cases out pf ten fire or decay are the only causes which will induce the grasping owners of these properties to revlace them with buildings of more substantial |, materials, On this account, if for no other, the fire limits must be strictly maintained. In this connection attention is called to the many violations of the fire ordinance, which are coustantly oc- curring in the building of sheds and outhouses within the district covered by the fire ordinance. The chief en- gineer of the fire department and the police will do well to make a thorough inspection of the alleys and back yards. The city erdinances provide adequate penalties for this offense, and they ought to be dealt out liber- ally to all who come under the law. Mr Ark N, surveyor-general of New Mexico, has made an excellent officer, as the records show, and as the ofticers over him stand personally ready to substantiate, and there is not & whisper against his honesty. Besides this, Rosewater is fighting him. Itis hard to see what else in the world Mr, Atkinson could want in his faver.—-[Lincoln Journal. Did the editor of The Lincoln Jour- nal ever hear a whisper agsinst the honesty of any public thief, no mat- ter how reckless and brazen his robberies? Has he ever been known to encourage an hon- est and capable public officer? Has it not been the sole business of the paper founded by Dave Butler with money stolen from the tax- payers of this state to whitewash rogues and screen swindlers and em- bezzlers? Will The Journal name a single clean-handed, capable and faithful public man whom Rosewater has ever opposed? Will The Journal explain how Surveyor General Atkin- son can be an honest officer, when he was notoriously up to his neck in the ocorrupt pool with Star Route Dorsey and the ring that has carried on the high-handed schemes of public plunder in connection with surveys, mining claims and land grab- bing in New Mexico. : This olass of officials always can procure excellent endorsements from men in high authority, butthe repub- can party must either rid the country of suoch vultures or go down to defeat and disruption.

Bates Find Plenty of Koom and Comfort. New York Sun, Captain and Mrs. Bates, the giant couple, are, in a certain sense, the most prominent people in Ohio. They are pretty sure to be prominent wher- ever theyare. The captain once went in bathing off the Jersey coast, and he says the fishermen put out in boats to harpoon him, because they thought he was a whale, But this may be a fish story, They certainly form the highest ~ geographical points in the neighborhood of their home at Seville, Ohio. Mra, Bates is a trifle the high- er, but as height is a touchy point with giants, she, out of delicato feel- ing for the captain, rarely refera to this fact, or else attributes it to her coifiure. Their home at Seville is the place for which they long when they are on their travels, It is not Aurpriuing that peraons nearly eight teet tall, an broad in proportion, do not find a berth in a sleeping-car conveniently roomy or feel quite safe at table d’hote on eane-bottom chairs, There- fore it is that their spirits rise when homeward bound. As they pass through the door of the rail- road car at their home station they stoop for the last time before they again go traveling. A coach drawn by eight stout Norman horses is in waiting. It is about as broad as the roadway, and the wheels are about as large as those on the fonderous wagons used to haul granite or marble shafts. When they are comfortably seated the 'coachman cracks his whip, and the vehicle goes lumbering along toward the giants’ house, a little:way out of the town. Other drivers on the road seeing the giants' eanipage coming, take down the fence rails and drive into the ad- joining fields until the enormous vehicle has passed. An immense stone building looms up, and soon the carriage is pulled up in front of the entrance. If an ordi- nary-sized person is with the giants they kindly give him a boost or two up the steps. Then they pass stately and erect through a hall ten feet high. The head of a person of medium height would about reach to the door-knob. They enter a spa- cious hall and go from there to a par: lor with doors also ten feet high, and windows in proportion. The chairs are so large that ordinary mortals have to climb into them as babies have to climb into their high chairs, In the sitting-room the piano is the only piece of furniture of ordinary size; but it 18 mounted on blocks about three feet high, so that the key-board is up in the air.

JEB BTUART'S LAST FIGHT. How the Dashing 'Trooper Met His Death from Sheridan’s Men at Yel- low Tavern. J. Esten Cooke in Philadelpbia Times. The battle had evidently reached the turning point, and Stuart saw the desperate character of his situation. It was difficult to use his artillery in such a melee of friend and foe, and his left wing was soon in utter disor- der. The federal attack had at last succeeded in breaking it to pieces; the men werescattering in every direction, and seeing Ma). Breathed near bim, Stuart shouted: ‘“‘Breathed! take command of all the mounted men in the road and hold it against whatever comes. If this road is lost we aregone!” Such an order was precisely suited to the tastes of a man like Breathed. I was intimately acquainted with him, and never knew a human being who | took such a sincere delight in despe- rate fighting. At Stuart’s order Breathed saluted, and shouting to the men to follow him, charged the federal column, apparently careless whether he was followed or not. He was immediately sutrounded, and a hot sabre fight took place between himself and his swarm of enemies. A sabre blow nearly cut him out of the saddle, and he received a pistol shot in his side, but he cut down one federal officer, killed another with his re- volver, and made his way out, his face’ streaming with blood, At this mo- ment the artillery opened, but a de- termined charge was made on the guns, and all the pieces were captured but one. The driver of this piece lashea his horses and rushed the gun off toward the Chickahominy, fol- lowed by the cannoneers, cursing and shouting: ‘‘For God’s sake, boys, let's go back; they've got Breathed?’ It would have been better for the gun to have been captured. As it was whirl- ing along at wild speed it broke through the cavalry, throwing them into disorder, and before the line was reformed the enemy struck it and the battle was ended. Both the southern wings were driyen, and there was no hope of continuing the contest. Stuart was nearly in despair, and was seen galloping about shouting and waving his eabre in a desperate attempt to rally his men, but it was impossible. The field was a scene of the wildest disorder. Federals and confederates were darting in every direction, and one of the former as he darted by Stuart fired at him and shot him through the body, The bullet entered his side, and, passing throagh the stomach, inflicted a mortal wound. In its passage it just grazed a small Bible, which he always carried, the gift of his mother. Ho reeled in the saddle and was caught by Capt. Dorsey, of the First Virginia, and as he had closed his oyes he seemed about to expire on the field. His immense vitality, how- ever, sustained him, and endeavor- ing to rise erect again in his saddle, he exclaimed to those around him: “Go back and do your duty as I have done mine, and our country will be safe! tion train.
