Editor Val's anti-monopoly record atill re- fuses to appear in print. —_— Democratic politicians are making mumerous trips to the east which are said to be “for revenue only.” E— Tur backbone of .the khedive is wonderfully stiff since six British gen- erals and 20,000 troops haye started for Egypt. Seme of Jay Hubbell's assessment fiends have gone to Georgia, and the Atlanta Constutution is in doubt whether or not this is a free country. A 7£ALOUS young man in Iadianap- olis is said to have made a vow that he will nevr vote until his mother and sister can accompany him to the polls. He will wait a few years. A large reception of citizons was given to the Utah commission on Sat- urday in Salt Lake. The commission can now devote themselves to the re- ception of testimony and salarios. Promisks of land offices and patronagejwhich he hasn't got to give and never will have at his disposal are ‘Valentine's taump cards in his *“‘walk- a-way'’ fight in the Third district. SecreTarY FoLoen denies the story that he has consented to be a candi- date for governor of New York. This leaves the field open to Cornell and ‘Wadsworth as the prefered republican candidates. AN eastern exchange prints a para- graph entitled “‘How a Mistake Made Democrats,” If the topic had been “How Demoorats Make Mistakes” two columns would not have exhaust- ed the subject. m—— SeweLy, of New Jersey, is working night and day against the renomina- tion of Robeson. The soumer the party vnloads Mr. Robeson the less dead weight it will have to carry in the coming campaigns, Whether he 1s guilty or not of the serious charger made againgt his iategrity, there is a very general belief among voters that there is too much smoke in his neig! borhood not to be caused by a fire very near his congressional seat. Axtaur ORTON must give way to the editor of the Omaha Republican an the greatest claimant on record. It is the policy of Val's strikers in the Third district to force thefr campaign d bluster with a view of ing in timid republicans to the support of their patron saint, Where this fails, double headers will be sen to the Fremont convention. Val's chances in the Third district are grow- ing beautifully less every day. But the Republican, which has prophesied the election of every defeated repub- lican in Nebraska politics for the last ten years, will coatinue to its readors to a daily dish of wind ing until the votes of the delegates to the Fremont convention prove the real state of feeling against Val. among the voters of the Third district. Crow- ing over what every one concedes, and clmuung every doubtful delegation won't win the campaign, as Val's henchwen may yet discover to their BOCTOW, A LAMB FRYE.\ It is no wonder Mr. Frye wanted to represent Mr. Crounse's on the floor of congress.— Republican. Yes it is no wonder that William P. Frye, whose valuable services to the monopolies in the house were re: warded with a seat in the United States senate, wanted to represent Mr. Crounse’s constitutents on the Hoor of congress, Mr. Crounse’s con- stituents had no use for men of Mr. Fryo's kidney. They had sent Judge Crounse to congress to obtain justies from the nation on behalf of a state which was suffering from extortions and injustice of Mr. Frye's master, the Union Pacitic, It was through the earnest efforts of this congressional lobbyist, backed by the money of the corporation which he served, that Judge Crounse’s work on behalf of his constituents was blocked in the house, It was William P. Frye, ‘‘who wanted to represent Mr. Crounse's constitu- ents,” who throttled tho bili reducing fares and freights on the Union Pa- cific bridge. It was the same desire to ‘“‘represent Mr, Crounse’s constit- uents,” which impelled this capper of the corporations to defeat in two successive congresses Judge Crounse’s mensuros to compol the railroads to take out patents on their unpatented lands. Mr. Frye's idea of the constit- uency represented by Judge Crounse was doubtless derived from a photo- graph of the Union Pacific head- quarters and his worst enemy will not deny that he worked faithfully for galore and glory in the interests of his railroad employers. It is avery sigoificant fact that after Valentine’s entrance into the house of representatives, Mr. Frye's burning dewire to represent Ne- braska was very much sub- dued, He did not find it necessary to take the fioor in a fiery apeech against any reduction of brid.e tolls on the ground that it would cripple a great but needy corporation. His disinterested soul, which afew months previously had wrestled in the congressional lobby to whip in votes against the passage of bills compelling land grant roads to pay their taxes, was undisturbed with reflections that Val- entine didn't represent the railroads which were after all the only legiti- mate constituency, Mr. Frye was perfectly content on behalf of the corporations to leave their in- terests in the charge of such a pliant tocl as the Nebraska representatve, and to devote his attention to fighting the Thurman act and other measures which menaced the profits of the Uaion Pacific. Any one who knows Mr. Frye's record as the victorious leader of the monopoly hosts in the house of representatives will place it as groatly to Judge Crounse’s credit that this corporation capper was anx- ious to displace Lorenzo Crounse as the representativo of the people of Nebraska. THE TROUBLE AT PINERIDGE. Pay no attention to stampeding re- porta” writes Agent McGhllicuddy, from Pine Ridge Agency, to Col. Sumner at Ft. Robinson. Dr, Mo- Gillicuddy's dispatch, which we pub- lish elsewhere, clears away a great deal of the smoke which has gathered around the Red Cloud agency since Wednosday's news of impending trouble was firat telegraphed over the country. From present indications there are no signs_of an Indian out break, no general disaffection at the agency, no need of troops and no evidence of any disturb- ance which cannot be promptly suppressed by the means which Dr. a severe one to the officers in the lower grades, still there is a certain compensation, in one sense, in the fact that the duties in these lower grades are likely to become more varied, more responsible and more honorable through the decrease of the number of commisstoned officers among whom they have hitherto been appor- tioned, with hardly enough to go round. The reluctions in the staff, particularly in the engineer and pay corps, call for the same comment. In theso two and in the medical corps, promotions are stopped until the reduced numbers are reached by casu- alty, while in the line half the vacan- cies can be filled even before the re- duced numbers of the grades have been reached, thus rendering the pro- gress toward the new establisnment very easy for the line. The legislation reducing the number of appointments of cadets so as no louger to overload the navy, will no doubt command almost universal approval. Yet even here careful provision 18 made against individual injustice, and also a; depriving the country of the services of unusually competent cadets, by de- claring that at least ten are to be a) pointed into the service each ye: The grant of a year's sea pay to sur- plus cadets not so appointed is libera), since they will also have had their education free and a handsome sup- port by the government while gaining it. The abolition of the distinction between cadet engineers and cadet midshipmen at the academy is no dovbt wise, in view of the great reduc- tion of the number of places open to the former in the engineer corps of the navy. Tur Omaha papers are located in the First congressional district,accord- ing to the revised map of Nebraska, but thev are fighting the battle for the Third district. Why can't they help us out in the Second, and occasional- ly take a glance at the contest in their own bailiwick. Mr, Bee, are not the monopolists doing anything in the Firat and Second, or is it the U. P. concern alone that you are fighting, or is not your fight directed against those who are too independent to be controlled by you? How is it?— Hast- ings Gazette Journal, By her locaticn and her commercial with Nebraska north of the Platte Omaba is more identified with the Third congrossional district than the district 1nto which she has been wrongfully apportioned by political tricksters, = As the metropolis of Ne- braska Omaha is vitally interested in every man who is to represent this state in congress.

His own estimate of his labor 1s in these words, ‘I have nover worked as hard in my life over anythingasT worked over this,” and appreciated. This will be understood when it is known that his bill for seating Majors would have given some seventeen thousand dollars to divide between the parties to the fraud. Three years salary—$5,000 a year—three yoars' allowance for stationery at 8125 per year, and three years' mileage, Quoting from his own statement we find: ‘ Oun the first day that we were permitted to introduce bills in the present congrems, I introduced a bill allowing an additional member for the ate of Nobraska,” Yes! on the very firat day ke had a chance he introdac- ed this bill, 80 eager was he to share the spoil, and thia bill was 8o ordered as to give Major his salary from March 4th, 1879, When he was re. examined by Mr. Hammond upon the point, Valentine made the flimsy ex- cuso *'It appears that I failed to strike out the date of the previous bill, and simply introduced it as the bill was introduced in the former congrees: which would grant us a member not from the first day of the present con- gress, but from the first day of the Forty-sixth congeess: which was sim- ply & mistake on my part. I had fail- ed to strike out the ‘‘March 4th, 1879," and put in its placed ‘‘March 4th, 188L"” That is I intro- duced the wrong bill, the one I had not corrected.” He did fail to strike cut the *‘March 4,1879, and that is all that was ever changed. But when Valen- tine claims he made a mistake, he takes his constituents tor fools. A di- vide of $17,000 depended on that date. That was why 1t was not changed to ‘‘March 4, 1881.” As your readers are aware, this out- rageous attempt to steal from the public treasury failed. Valentine's bill was brushed atide with contempt by the commistee, and a substitute by Mr. Willits was adopted. Next we come to the time when it was discovered that a fraudulent cen- sus roturn had been used to bolster up Masjors’ claim, and that all the papers on file had been tampered with to make them correspond with it. When under fire before the committee Valentine testitied fliently enough till he came to the diflicalt places, then he was ‘‘not sure,” *‘presumed,” *‘did not recollect,” was conveniently ‘‘ab- sent,” ‘‘thinks” he did or did not, and in reference to a letter written by Majors after the discovery of the falsity of the certificate, Valentine **did not know” where it was. His clerk had ‘‘gone away.” He did not produce the letter, but offered the committee one in which ‘‘there was nothing about the matter.” One fact more aud we refer this question of Valentine’s complicity in & transaction that has brought shame upon the whole state, to the study of his constizuents. Conscious of his guilt, Valentine, before leaving Wash- ington, dsked the committee of in- vestigation to give him a certificate of character which he could lay before the coming nominating conventicn, and which should set forth that the committee did not consider him gulty of chis imposition and fraud. The committee declined to do so. Sucha refueal is tantamount to a declaration that they do not consider him inno- cent. Valentine 18 held to be tainted by his fellow members of the house. Thronghout the departments he is now held in suspicion, and officials shrink from touching the men and plaus he advocater. What view of the case Mr.Ar: hur takes,we can only surmise, but we know that Mr. Val- entine will not be a welcome visitor at the white house, nor a successful ap- plicant for his friends, while this shameful trausaction involves him in its black shadow. So far as we can see, he will have to bear the odium of having undertaken a most impudent and disgraceful fraud upon congress, and failed. H, LITERARY NOTES.

With September comes the end of vacation, and thoughts of school; and 8t. Nicholas comes too, evidently de- termined to make these by no means the least pleasant of the summer days. It is a bright, sketchy number, filled with short stories, clever verses, and beautifal pictures. Girls will be interested in ‘‘The Doll that Couldn’t Spell her Name,” and boys will read with pleasure the story of ‘‘The Marl- borough Sands”; and both boys and wirls will enjoy everything else in the magazine, here is an instructive and amusing article on elephants, entitled “Our Largest Friends.” ‘“Jiro—A Japanese Boy” is asketch of boy-life in that curious country where every one's birthday comes on the same day; and Maurice Thompson, the celebrated archer, contributes ‘*The Story of the Arbalist,” or “‘Cross-bow.” The ‘‘Stories from the Ncrthern Myths” end in this issue with an ac- count of the slaying of Balder, the God of the Suramer, and Mra, Clem- ent’s paper on the ‘‘Art and Artists” of the Renaissanee is especially bright and anecdotal, Mra. Dodge has a long and inter- esting instaliment of her serial, 'Don- ald ard Dorothy,” which will be ea. gorly read by all who have been fol- lowing the fortunes of these two young people, Among all the verses scattered throngh the September pages, it is enough to mention the poem entitled ‘‘The Cockatoos,” by Celia Thaxter, and “‘The Land ot Noddy,” a quaint, pretty, unconventional lullaby, by Rossiter Johnson. There are the usual departments, and an entertaining story, for the lit- tle folks, of a pig that went sailing in & horse-trough PERSONAL. Captain Marsh returned from the west yesterday.

B — SOCIABLE 8COTS, A Grand Plenie by the Burns Club in Hanscom Park on Saturday Last. Saturday last was quite a gala day for the Scottish lads and lassies of this city, and the Burns club picnic will long be remembered as a pleasant little epirode by those who took part init. At an early hour in the fore noon the street cara and vehicles of every description were to be seen making for Omaha’s famous pleasure resort and by the time appointed for the games to begin a vast gathering of old Scotland’s brave sons and fair daughters had assembled together with the determination of having the jolliest holiday counceivable. Inter- tmingled with the Burns club were a smalldetachment from the St. George's society, who fraternized with the sis- ter society in a whole-souled way. The weather was most favorable, in fact it could not have been better. It is a curious fact, whoh was remarked by several per- sons present, that the Scottish society is always very fortunate in having splendid weather when it turns out to have a holiday. The lovelier and weaker sox were largely in the ma- jority and what with their charming dresses and fairy like forms presented a beautiful scene for an artist's pencil. Refreshments were to be had in abundance, but the liquids were of a very trausparent nature. Irvine's popular string orchestra discoursed some of its most dulcet melodies, and the dancing was enjoyed by both young and old in a most enthusiastic maunner, Mr. William Falconer made a thoroughly effi sient floor manager, and he had some excellent assistants, Aftor tho guests had supplied the wants of the inner man (aud woman) the prizes were competeed for amid much excitement. The following were the games con- tested: First running race, 100 yards, for girls under four years, The prize takers were as foilows: first prize, Kate Liddell; second, Ira Io- nies; third, Belle Moldrum. The second race was for boys under four- teen years of age. Tom Mingies took the firat prize, Tom Meldrum the sec- ond, and Tom Falconer the third. The third contest was an 100 yards running race and the prize winners were Messrs, Falconer, Wm. Meldrum and Charles Fleming. The fourth race was 60 yards sack race, and the successful competitors were Thomas| Meldrum, Wm. Meldrum and Robert Thompson, The fifth was a three- legged contest for a 60 yards run Muir and Finlayson carried off the first prize, Flemming and Innies the second, and Meldrum and Thompson the third, The sixth contest was a 300 yards race, and was suc- cessfully competed for by Messrs. Charles Fleming, James Muir and John Indis. The seventh race was perhaps the most exciting race of them all. It proved to be quite a remakable race in more sonses than one. Itis known as the stone and basket race. The first prize taken was by James Muir, the second by Charles Fleming and the third by Wiiliam Meldrum. One of the con- testants became 80 overpowered with excitement that he divested himself of the major part of his garments un- til he presented the appuarance of a Zulu chief, whose only attire is said to consist of a necklaco and a postage stamp, There were several other games which were of minor im- portance, Mr. William Liddell made a capital chairman on games. At the conclusion of this part of the pro- gramme M. George McKenzio stepped outo the platform and delivered a short but eloguently pithy address, in the course of which he said that he was one of the first members who 33 years ago organized o Scottish society here. He was very wuch pleased to be able to say that the organization of the Burps club had turned outa brilliant success, and it was a great gratification to him to see the young Seoteh people falling in the ranks to fill up the vacancies which were always bo made by those who were journey- ing to their final resting place, His remarks were greeted with enthusiastic cheering and in closirg he introduced Mc, James Falconer, who gave a very fine rendition of “The Scottish Em- igrant ' The remainder of the day was spent in dancing those fine old Scottish dances in which the ‘‘reel” of course played a prominent part. The party broke up at a seasonable hour and in parting everyone present agreed that they had haa a real good time, FORTHE PERMANENT CURE OF 4 has ever equalled the celebrated EIDNEY- g e sualied o el TIDHY ihowever obstinate the case, tuis remedy| rudop il £ "PILES. 7o ttrveios con &|complicated with constipation.
