Editor. Tar Waring system of sewerage is wearing well in Omaha. —_— Just at present Omaha streets are “all tore up” and so are the people who travel on them. CONGRESS AND THE NORTH- ERN PACIFIC The inflnence of the railroads has been more strongly felt in the present seasion of congress than at any time since Tom Scott's Texas Pacific lobby ruled both houses at Washington, In senate and house the committees at the beginning of the session were carofully packed with friends of the corporations, The lobby was well or- ganized, carefully disciplined and am- ply supplied with funds. With the committeca to strangle unfavorable resolutions aad push bills in their in- terest, and with sufficient retainera on the floor of the bodies to provide against any lapse on the party by the committees, the railroads have suc. coeded in accomplishing nearly every scheme which they have inangurated, and in stifling every bill introduced counter to thetr intereat. The land grant roads have been under active discussion, and early in the session the question whether the Northern Pacific railroad had not for- feited their lands under the charter by reason of failure to comply with its conditions was referred to the judi- ciary committee, On the G:h of Jan- uary the majority report of the com- mittee, signed by eight of the fitteen pense of nationality and religion is amuting to a very few. THe newthree per cent. bonds are baing taken up very rapidly in ex- change for the 3)’s. No nation in the world now enjoys a better financial standing than our own, Tue methods adopted by Valentine's strikers in Lincoln county to throttle a free expression of the party through the primaries is in keeping with the course of the whole gang that seeks to force Valentine upon our state for a third term, Such outrages must be repulsed by our congressional and state conventions. Boss rule in Penn- sylvania was never more aggravating, — SEvERAL of the senators and repre- sentatives who voted to pass the river and harbor bill over the president’s veto approve heartily of the senti- ments of the veto and express the hope that it will guide future con- greses. Such commendation is like that of Artemus Ward's lecture com- mittee who passed a resolution seking him to repeat his performance—in other towns, . CoMMENTING upon the star route thieves' purchase of newspapers the Washington Star iays: ‘‘They bought papers right and left, and when they dia not gobble up an entire establish- ment, they purchased silence.” This sentence is respectfully’referred to the editors of the Republican and Herald in Omaha who might, if they would, throw some confirmatory evidence upon the subject in connection with the late atar route trials in Lincoln, AND now Minnesota is bragging loudly over her crop prospects. The harvest it is said will be one of the largest and best ever grown in the northwest. The grand total of the wheat crop will not be less than thirty- eight millions of bushels againal thirty millions in 1881, Oats far exceed in qnality and qantity any previous yield, while the potato crop 18 eimply enor- mous. The man who takes care of the Kansas statistics had better look after his laurels. OmaHA'S boamid of public works seem to be earning their salary and find it necessary to hold almost caily meetings, Dodge and Sixteenth streots are being curbed and guttered, the north and south sewers are under construction and Douglas and Tenth streets will be paved as rapidly as pos- sible. Eternal vigilance is the price members, was presented to congress. The majority reported that the land grant bore no reference to the com- pletion of the road by any specified time and that as the company is now proceeding to complote its line as rapidly as possible, there is no ground for the interference of the government in any respect except to issue certifi- cates of land as the work progresses. The minority report vigorously dis- putes the position of the majority in regard to the legal question of the for- feiture of the land, In addition they show how a generous government and people haye donated to the Northern Pacific company a great railroad and several millions besides. President Villard’s report shows 3,083,065 acres of land sold for $11,665,466; residue, 89,416,047 acres, $08,640,117; total, $110,105,584; costof 2,400} miles of road, $93,525,608; surplus, $16,578,- 015, After making the®company a present of the road, the value of the lands left in its treasury by the gov- ernment exceeds the enormous sum of sixteen million dollars, upon the official exhibit of the president. The minority of the committee do not ac- ocept the figures of President Villard. Upon the data furnished by the gov- ernment auditor of railroad accounts, the value of the land grant is $108,- 750,000; the cost of constructing the road, $67,466,000; surplus, $41,284,- 000, But the minority take the mean between the reports of President Vil- lard and the government auditor, and state the account thus: Value of the land sold and unsold, $101,105,684; cost of construction, $80,484,932; sur- plus, 826,610,652, This enormous sum is the neat lit- tle plum which is to be divided up among Northern Pacific stockholders after their road is entirely paid for n government lands, The judiciary com- mittee minority are of the opinion that a liberal government has done enough for these meritorious stock- holders by construcling their road without making them a present of a colossal fortune to boot. In the face of such revelations, the Philadelphia Record thinks it is no Jonger a mystery how enormous for- tunes have been made in a few yoars by manipulating land grant roads, The original owners of this stock of the Northern Pacific who stood on the “‘ground floor” have never paid a dollar of their subscriptions, but have received it as a free gift from the government, with lands to the value of thirty millions more. They have a railroad extending across the conti- of good work in all city contracts and a wide awake board of public works will more than save their salary every year of their existence, Tae present is not the first congress which has protracted its session into the middle of August. The first scs- sion of the Forty-fourth congress lasted 264 days, from December b, 1876, to August 15, 1876, The Thirty-fourth congress con'inued its first session from December 3, 1855, to August 18, 1856, in all 260 days. The Thirty-third congress continued its first session 246 days, adjourning August 7, 1864. Tne Thirty-second congrees beat all the others before or since, sitting from December 3, 1849, to Scptember 80, 1850, in all 302 daye. Al other congresses which sat all winter took care to get away from Washington before the dog days . Se— Mz, BraNe inan address to the republican voters of Maine counsels harmony of action, not only on ac- count of local influences but for the effects upon other states in the coming elections, Mr. Blaine is #aid to be personally interested in the Maine election as a legislature which is to se- lect » United States senator is to he chosen and the ex-secretary of state will doubtlees be a candidate. From Blaine to Frye the descent was a very sieep one, and the people of Maine who are almost as devoted to Mr. Blaine as Massachusetts was to Webster and Bumner, are only wait- ing for the chance to send their favor- ite back to his old chair in the senate cherber, nent to the Pacific ocean, which cost them nothing, and upon which the people must pay them the highest rates of freight that the traftic will bear, Still worse is the history of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific rail- road companies with the Credit Mo- bilter scandal. In the construction of these railroads Oakes Ames, Hoxie, Durant and their fellow-conspirators robbed the people of their lands and money and the shareholders of their rights, The cost of construction was from §42,000 to $96,000 a mile, the enormous profits of which were di- vided among the plunderers, And, a8 a result, colossal fortunes—amount- ing to ten, ‘wenty, thirty and even fifty million dollars—have been accu- mulated from the land and labor of the people. Some: of these days a movement will spring up against rail- road monopoly which may become as unjust and unreasoning in its fury as its objects have been dishonest and rapacious in (he pursuit of wealth and power, Mz, VAueNTINE'S committee clerk revamps his old challenge to argue the anti-monopoly tssue with the editor of Tuk Bee through the columns of the Republican, and charges that Rosewa- ter refused the challenge when it was last given. Any one who has read Tue Bee knows that the challenge was promptly acoepted, But as soon as the editor of Tue Ber exprossed his willingnoss to meot the question, Val's clerk declined to be considered as & champion of the railroads, or to speak for any one but himself in the discussion which he sought. As the editor of Tue Bee is not ae- THE DAILY BEE--OMAHA MONDAY, AUGUST 7, customed to fight windmills, he promptly declined to furnish gratuitous advertising and cpace in his paper to & would-be antagonist who represent- ed no one and nothing. Such a dis- cussion would have been profitless, If the Kepublican wants to post its read- ers on the railrond side of the ques tion it will have ample opportunity to do so during the coming campaign. It is sustained on corporation pap for just this purpose and in doing so it will only be carrying out the wishes of its Union Pacific masters. It can- not, however, use the circulation of Tue Ber for a contest on conditions which would make any dlscvssion a mere waste of time and paper. Tar effect of the Towa prohibition amendment according to the report of a committee of prohibitionists is not entirely satisfactory. The best legal authorities declare that the amend- ment is practically inoperative, and will remain 8o until supplemented by further legislation. The Kansas City Journal says that the prohibitory law does away with the license system, but the report concedes that it does not prevent the manufacture and sale of wine and beer made from fruits grown within the state. The reason for this in that these drinks were not included in the provisions of any law upon the statute book at the time of the passage of the amendment, and that the latter cannot enlarge the scope of any exist- ing statute, Therefore it is affirmed that the statute, which did not declare the manufacture and sale of beer and wine from native fruit a crime, re- mains in force until repealed by the same body which declared it. The effect of this decision, ao- knowledged by the prohibitionists themselves, is to render the amend- ment a nullity for the present. Iowa breweries can go on making Towa beer from lowa barley, and Iowa whisky may be distilled from Iowa corn, and people may drink them both with im- puunity, so far as the law is concerned. The amendment 1s only a sort of pro- tective arrangement, by which manu- facturers are obligod to purchase their raw material within the state. Hence the anxioty that the governor shall call an extra session to completo the prohibition and provide penalties. Meantime the traflic is practically as unrestricted as ever, and will remain so until further action by the execu- tive and the legislatura. A conRresPoNDENT of the St. Louis Louis Republican has been interview- ing G:orge Francis Train, who for eight years has been sitting in Madi- son Square philosophizing on men and things. He eaid to him: “‘Train, why do you sit here all the time? The world 18 passing on and you are making no noise in it. No one cares for you, and all pass you by, save now and then an old friend sto) to greet you.” He replied, laconically: “I was once in the world before the public The world did not under- stand mo then! How can they now? Had I needed money would I have given away half of Omaha!” Were the history of Train's life ever written by a man who knew the cease- less activity of his brain and the various conflicting motions and events which have troubled its course, the story would read moro like a romance than a recital of facts from real life. Waarever the result of the Star route trials, the good wrought by Mrj James' reform management of the postal service, is likely to be enduring. The postoffice department is at last solf-sustaining, and no administration will hereafter lot it sink back into de- ficit. There 1s no reason why with honest management it should not pay its way. As business increases the task will become easier. Kor the fis- cal year ending June 1882, the re- coipts were $40,000,000. Next year will doubtless witness the addition of at least $5,000,000 to this sum, while the cost cannot of courae increase in anything like the same ratio. Unless another attack of hard times comeson, the postofice department ought by another year to be strong enough to take Up the question of cheaper pos- tage. Wies every other resort of language fails the democratic politician in con- vention assembled falls back upon Thomas Jefferson and the famous Jef- fessonian principles which he was sup- posed to have invented and whose possession lies exclusively within the democratic pariy. Thus Mr. Hugh G. Thompson in accepting the nomi- nation for governor of South Carolina said that he felt confident that the platform would “‘contain the original principles of that old Jeffersonian democracy upon which the main- tenance of free institutions in this country depends,” Just exactly how these time honored principles ought to be applied to tissue ballots and south- orn redistricting were subjects upon which Mr, Thompson threw no light. New Yok is beginning to suffer from a lack of water, the old Croton aqueduct proving insuflicient to meet the demands of a rapidly growing city. A demand is being made for an additional aqueduct which will wave the five hundred million gallons of water which daily go to waste over the Oroton dam. New York is one of the few cities of the world which obtains her water supply by gravity aloue, without the accompaniment of pumps and filters, THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. [Continwed from First Page] ber on business concerning his de- partment shortly before the vote was taken, but so far from saying anything in favor of the vetoed bill he inci- dentally expressed to several sen- ators his opinion that the _bill was & very obnosious measure and the veto ought, by all means, be sustain- ed. The secretary further remarked that he voted against every river and harbor bill that came before the sen- ate while he was a member of that body; that he made speeches against four of them, and that as a matter of fact, he regarded the last bill as much worse than any of its predecessors. CONGRESS Special Dispateh to Tur Brx SENATE PROCEEINGS, Wasnixerox, Angust 5.—The sen- ate receded from its amendments to the deficiency bill for mileage for sen- tors for the special session, Senator Bayard then submitted the joint resolution appropriating $33,000 for mileage. Passed unanimously The tax bill was laid aside inform- ally, and Senator Miller of New York spoke cn the knt goods bill, Senator Bayard advocated an amend- ment to the bill, which he desired to continue in force until general refor- wmation of the tariff could be roade, increasing the duty on woolen manu- factures trom 35 to 50 per cent ad va- lorem, and fixing the tariff on wools at 26 per cent ad valorem, Committee amendments were not concurred in, The Bayard amend- ment was voted down—yeas, 22; nays, 20; a party vote, except that Senator Voorhees voted no with the republi- cans. Senator Davis, of Illinois, also voted no. Senator Harris moved to substitute for the bill a provision fixing the duty on imported ‘wools at 2 per cent ad- valorem. Rejected without discus- sion—yeas 12, nays 35. All the affirm- ive votes came from the democratic side. Senator Bayard desired to have ex- pression of the sense of the senate as to whether the range of tariff duties shall exceed G0 per cent advalorem. He offered an amendment limiting the duty accordingly upon merchan- dise described in the bill. At this point Senator Anthony, from the conference on the bill for the publication ef the agricultural report, reported an_sgreement by which the senate amendment is retained in the bill, This contemplates the printing of 300,000 copies of the agricultural report. Adopted 7 The pending amendment of Senator Bayard was voted down -yeas 20, nays 28. Senators Voornees, Brown and Voorhees voted no with the re- publicans. Senator Vest offered an amendment placing salt, in bulk or in bags, sacks or other packages on the free list. This was rejected, 21 to 26, Sena- tors Mahone and Brown voted no with the republicans. Senator Vest then offered an am- endment providing that duty on flan- nels and blankets shall not exceed 50 per cent. ad valorem. Rejected, 2t t0 26, The vote was identical with the preceeding one. . In oHfering amendments the republi- can side refrained from debates in or- der to facilitate passage of the meas- ure and steadily voted against any change which would necessitate re- turn of the measure tothe house. The bill finally passed without any amend- ment and as it came from the house; yeas 36, nays 15. The tax reductions bill then came up as unfinished business, but was laid aside informally, and the house bill extending fees of certain officers over the territories of New Mexico and Arizona passed. Senator Logan, from the conference on the bill to remove certain soldiers of the late war from the charge of de- sertion, reported agreement, Agreed to, and the senato considered the an- nual house post route bill, which paceed. Senator Allison presonted the con- forence report on the jsundry civil bill After a long debate tho report was adopted without division, and the sen- ate adjourned until Monday. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS, Senate amendment to the joint res- olution for the establishment of diplo- matic relations with Persia was con- curred in, The resolation granting the use of the rotunda to the Garfield monu- ment committee of the society of the Army of the Cumberland, from the 25th of November to the 3d of De- cember, to hold a bazaar and recep- tion, the object being to aid in the erection in Washington of a statue to the memory of Garfield, was agreed to. Senate amendments to the bill amending the statutes relating to steam vessels, was agreed to, The copterees on the naval appro- riation bill reported an agreement. he report was accepted and the bill assed, Senate conferees receded from their disagreement and as sgreed upon the bill leaves the closing of the navy yards to the discretion of the secretary of the navy. A A joint resolution was passed in- structing the secretary of the navy to convene a court of inquiry to investi- gate the loss of the Jeannette. A joint resolution providing for a joint select committee of three sena- tors and representatives to inquire into the condition and wants of American ship building and ship owning inter- ests, passed. Tho conference report on the naval bill was agreed to. Pending recess, the speaker laid be- fore the hous message from the president transmitting the report of the secretary of state respecting the case of American citizens under arrest inIreland. Referred. Mr. Wilson (W. Va.) from the cem- mittee on foreign affairs, submitted a report upon the power of the house to contpel Shipherd to answer certain questions whieh he had declined to answer and produce certain evidence. The report was referred to the houso calendar, It says: ‘‘lair is not a wember of the house of representa- tives and it has no jurisdiction over any supposed conduct of his, so it would scom the demand for the Ship- herd papers degenerates into an i quiry into the private affairs of citi- zens. If this is true we cannot de- mand his papers nor compel him to answer questions. Believing that the facts now existing makes it improper to demand Shipherd's papere, we ro-| spectfally recommend Shipherd be discharged and his examination be pre led with no further.” The secretary states the only per- sons alleged to be American citizens stillin prison in Ireland are O'Mahony, McSweeny, Slattery and Grannen; that McSweeny and Slattery produced regular certificates of naturalization and Grannon established his claim to American birth and O'Mahony was irregularly naturalized on the ground of services in the navy. Ths report further states that it appears by a note from Minister Lowell thather majesty’s government does not entertain at present any intentionZcf bringing these persons to trial, but 1t oftered them a discharge on condition that they leave ITreland for America, which was re fused. Lowell has again been in- structed to urge a speedy trial. tecess till 8 o'clock. At the evening session Mr. Calkins submitted a conferenca report on the bill to relieve certain soldiers of the late war from the charges of descrtion. Agreed to.

Mr. Hiscock presented a conference report upon the sundzy civil appro- priation bill. He stated simply that the senate amendments had been re- duced by the conference committees to 8058,000. After debate the confer- ence report was agreed to. And thus the last general appropriation bill was disposed of by the house. After ‘several recesses during the evening the house ot 12:30 a. m. took a further recess until Monday at 10 o'clock.

Dividing the Spoils, Special Dispatch to Tiis Brs, Cu1cAco, August -By private advices from Boston it is learned that the conference between the cfficials of the Union Pacific, Burlington, and Atchison railroads has adjourned without resulting in an agreement. It is the intention of the officials, how- ever, to meet again next week for further consideration of their claims and differences. These are territorial in nature. The Union Pacific will not sign any agreement that does not obligate the Burligton not to build any new lines in Colorado. Upon all other matters the roads agreed. The oficers of the Burlington line state that pending further consideration of territorial differences the companies agree not to permit any cuttlng of rates, It is believed here thata com- promise agreement will be reached under which all three companies will be privileges to occupy certain terri- tory in Nebraska, Kansas and Colo- rado. e i nine for Harmony- Epoclal Dispatch to Tik Ber.
