GENERAL CROOK atill turns up miss- ing. “Tur School for Scandal’—The United States army. An Augusta dispatch announces that the Malne prohibltionists are weaker than they have been st any time In three years. Tan polide were In sight of the jam and crash on the Brooklyn bridge,but as usnal they didn't wake ap until the disaster was all over, e—— GENERALISHERMAN'S tolegram order- ing Orook to pursue the Apaches re- gardless of department or national lines has been published, and sots at rest all question as to who must bear the reaponaibillry for the alleged vio- Iation of Moxican territory. Tue czar i vory well pleased with his coronation and is distributing or- ders and titles with great profusion, Thoe order of general amnesty to po- litical exiles has, however, failed to put in an appearance, and the Nihl. lists dynamite factorles are starting up afresh. Bora houses of the Illinols legisla- tore have passed a resolutlon for the submiesion to the people of a propos!- tion to s0 amend the constitution as to enable the governor to veto any item In an appropriation bill. This power was given to the governors of Nebraska by the constitution of 1875, Tue Buffalo Erpress notes that General Grant's rallroad speculation with*Jay Gould in Mexico converted him to the theory of government sub- aidies, which he did not believe in be- fore. Railroad subsidies may be all very well in Mexico. Your Uncle Samuel doesn't mean to grant any more of them, Tue amicable settlement of differ— ences between the iron workers and iron masters at Pitteburg averts the oalamity of a strlke, which would have thrown thousands of mechanies and laborers out of employment, and insures peace and prosperity In the great industrial centers for the next twelve months at least, ‘Tuexe is & gocd deal of alarm felt among Washington clerks over the ex- aminations of the civll service com- micsion. There are rumors that sine- cures will he abolished snd Incompe- tent clerks discharged. If this should happen to ba the ocase the general smash up In the departsmenta will be worse than the results of a cyclone. Tur OmaHA Ber olalms a larger «clrculation than all the other journals in Nebraska comb'ned. Tur Bkk ls, in » mild and Indifferent way, a llar, — Falls Clty Journal, The trouble with the person who edits the Falls Oity paper is that he delights in misquoting Tux Bex, We unever olalmed to have a larger olrcu- Aation than all the papers in Nebraska wcombined, but we did claim that the Dally Bee has a larger clrculation than the combined olroulations of all the other Nobraska dailics. That clalm we are able to substantlate by the books, 1o Omsha Tue Bk clr- oulates five times as many papers as elther the Herald or Republican. That spsaks for the relative standing of papers where they are best known, ————a———— THERE are some complaints of the slowness with which paving is being carrled on in Omaha, and numerous inquirles why work has not been begun on the crosa streets. General Hsz'n snd the weather bureau are chlefly reeponsible for the delays in finlshing Douglas and Tenth stroets, Paving in pouring ralos and laylng foundations in mud is hardly prac- tioable, 8o far ss the awarding of contracts for the elde streets Is oon- cerned, the councll has not mado as much haste as they mlight have done. Bat elow and sure {s a botter matter than haste and waste. The streets have been ordered paved, the petl- tlons from property owners for mater- ial have been filed, and at to night's meeting advertisements will undoubt- edly be ordered for blds, With falr weather, and ordinary blislness abllity on the part of the contractors, a groat deal of pavement will be lald down before winter sets in. Under especial- 1y favoring conditions our entire busi- ness section will be paved by the time snow begins to fall, THE CHICAGO OONFERENOCE. The national ant{-monopoly econ. ference, which will meet In Chlcago on the Fourth of July, is destined to be one of the most important gather- fngs that has taken place in thls country since the close of the war Uuder the call the conference will be composed of delegates from every state in the Unlon, Dolegates have already been chosen In several from the congresslonal dlstrio conventions, to select delegates, have been called in others, If these calls aro resporded to in other states as they will be In Nebrasks, the confer- ence wlll represont a large majority of Independent American freemen, who are determined, at all hazard, to reslst the aggressive domination of of corporate monopolles, Oar own state, where the political con- fllet with glant monopolies has boeen carrled farther than perhaps any- where else In the country, will take a leading part io the coming conven- tlon. We hope that the distric! con- ventions which have been called to olect delegates wlill choose carefully and with dlscrimination, Lovel. headed representatives ought to be sent who can explain the grounds of the antl-monopoly revolt In Nebraska, the struggles which her farmers were forced to pass through before form. ulating their principles and com- pleting thelr orgauization, and the causes of the measures of success and fallare which they experienced in the last two messlons of the leglslature, The great need of the Chicago confer- ence will be such a collection of facts bearing upon the relations of the rafl- roads to the people, and such an Insight into the control of the two great poli- tloal parties by the corporations that a discriminating decision can be made whether a new party will bring the rollef whioh the old falls to afford. Thore will be welghty reasons advanced for and against the formation of an Independent anti. monopoly party, Many of the strongest antl-monopolists belleve that the tlme has not yet come for uatlonal independent action, while others are as firmly convinced that nothing will be galned by walting. Boatore the convention meets Tue Bee will dlscuss the matter and pre- sent its views more fully. For the present it only urges upon the Ne- bracka convention to plck thelr best mea as delogates for the Ohloago conference. AN obscure paper In the state takes Tur Bee to task for speaking of “‘the famous Herr Most"” instead of the In- famous communist. And why not? What does the edi- tor know of Most or of his deotrines? What, for that matter, do nine tenths of the papers who abuse the German agltator know about his princlples or the language in which he sets them forth, For Instance, they charge Most with clamoring for a division of prop- erty, when In fact he disclalms any such Impractical design, If the lecture which Herr Most gave in Umaha had been given in Boyd's epera houss in English few who heard It would find any cause for oriti- cism In Its strictures on the abuses, which honeyoomb modern so- clety in Imperial Europe, while they would have had every resson to &d- mire the ntelligence and cultura and earnestness of the man who dared to champlon the oause of the impover- Ished masses against thelr oppressors, If some of the Ignoramuses who con- found soclalism with nihilism and de- nounce every ‘‘lam" which they know nothing about, would spend a little time {n Investigating what 1s meant by the terms, we would find more com- mon sense in their treatment of ques- tions which cannot be burled from sight under abuse, and which, In spite of ridionle and denunclation, will con- tinue to foroe themselves on the pub- lio attention, Tue Bxk ls no champlon of halr. bralued agitators, nor of dynamitists, but it inslsts that every earnest man, who feels that he has something of value to soclety to say, shall be per- mitted to say it without belng gagged, lampooned and villified. Em—— WE have little doubt that t'resident Arthur would be glad to recslve the republicsn nomination in 1884, The cares of administration have not sat heavlly upon him, it the reports of his friends are to be belleved, and no doubt he is anxlous to recelve the en- dorsement which a renomination would carry with it, Still it is unfalr to assume that the course of the pres— Ident in endeavoring to heal the breaches in the party Is morely a part of a deep laid schome to capture the next convention, There is no proof of this while there are many evidences that hols at least as anxlous for the fatare of the party as ho is for his own aggrandizement. Lot us give the president credit for his good in- tentlons, Ho has made In mavy re- spects an admirable executive, No president, take It all in all, has fur- nlshed less campalgn ammunition for his oppouents. It is unfalr to charge him with having an interested motive in his polloy. Cavurrornia s happy over the exo- dus of her bonauza kings,who are now operating in New York after having sucked dry the orange of the Pacific slope, ‘The departare of the Mackeys, #nd] Falrs, and Keenes, and Mills', was no great loss to Californla, They built elegant houses, no donbt, and lived in extravagant style, but the money which swelled their bank ac counts was diverted from channels where it might have iuncreased the more moderate fortunes of the mauy with much more benefit to the state. Ex Becretary Windom tells as a faot that Mackey and Falr offered, durlng his administration, to take the entire £104,000,000 of United States bonds, The aggregate fortanes of the bonanza kings who speculated on the San Franclsco stock exchange Is estimated at more than $700,000,000. Figures like these make it very clear why Oallfornia 1s now slowly recoverlog from the loug financlal depresslon into which her “‘first cltizona” planged her, TWO BRIDGES. The completion of the Eaet Rlver bridge is regarded as an era in the his tory of New York city and Brook- lyn. Now York and Brooklyn both rejoloe that the great Ualon Ferry monopoly is forever destroyed. The Brooklyn bridge, which cost $15,000, 000 can be orossed on foot for a penny and passenger fare by rail will be five cents, Frelghtage will be In propor. tlon. Omaha also has a bridge over which she enthused eleven yoars ago. That also broke down a ferry but In fita placostands a toll gate for highway- men, The old ferry monopoly charg- od ton conts for oarrying passengers across the Missourl. For ten long yoarsthe U, P. bridgy exacted fifty cents for every man, woman and child, and eveu now though they pretend to have mado a reduction for Omaha every travelerin Nobraska and every- where else who buys a through ticked to the U. P. terminus Is comp elled to poy fifty cents, Bat the fraight tolls over this bridge of slghs have been the most monstrous Imposition on shippers that have ever been perpetrated in America, and not only in Amerioa bat in any part of the world, Not only the people but the government has been robbed in the same way in spite of the act of '66, which makes all bridges public high- ways and restriots the charge for gov- ernment transportation to mileage rates, The bridge bas paid for its cost moro than five times over besides paying the interost upon a fictitions value, To the Olty of Omaha this has been the greatest drawback next to the imposition of the Missourl river transfor. Every tlme ene of our peo- ple crosses the river he has every reason to curse the bridge, the men who baullt it and the scoundrels who keep up the system of brigandage which maintalns it. Not only are tolls exacted, but the accommodations for crosstng are wretched and inade- quate. The dummy tralns with thelr cattle car attachments are switched about from place to place on both sldes of the rlver, regardless of the waste of time, to the great discomfort of pessengers, Nobody ever dreamt when thls bridge was bailt that the old ferry experlence would bhe repeat- ed, and that men and women wou'd be compelled to travel as attachments to horse and cattle care. Even this might be borne, but when men paylog from fifty to twenty-five cents are jammod together in reeking coaches like 8o many hogs in a pen, and compelled to stand throughout the entlre trip, 1t s simply beyond endurance. If our boards of trade and mer- chants were not. shackled hand and foot by this monopoly monster, they would long since have risen and tested thelr rights In tho courts to falr treat- mentand decent accommodatlons, Tho orlginal act of 1871 authorlz- 1ng this bridge to exact speclal tolls provided that the bridge should have & wagon bridge attachment, and as good a lawyer as Roscoe Conkling has declared that without a wagon brldge attachment the three miles batween the terminus and Omaha are only parts of the main line of the Union Paolfic for which mileage rates alone can legally be charged. How mnoh longer our people will submlt to these outrageous exactlons, delays and discomforts remains to be seen. Posalbly they are walting for a new bridge, but if that {s to be thelr sole reltance for rellef, they are likely to grow old and grey before they cele- brate It completion —_— Tae Philadelphia Press notes that Logan stook in the West is advancing, Where!

Thoe Unlted States has tho largest military resources of any natlon on the globe and very nearly the smalleat military establishmoat, If we choose to put our strength to the work, we might, at an expense of about twice as great as the sum spent on penslous and our army togsther and which no one feels, ralse an army as large as Francos and Goermany com- bined aud greatly superior to both in its persounel. This ts our dormeant military atrevgth. Our active military force 1s barcly one-fortleth that of Fraunce and Germany. Uader theeo ciroumstances every thioking man knows that what ltile army we have should be of the beat in men, material and morals, If it fs not, we must bulld from the bottom whan war comes and in any civilizod contests our defca.s lu the first year must equal ths cost of a large military establisnment for a decade, and may be disasirous, The scandals of the last eix months force home the fact that the morale of our army is very eorlously imparled. This is aserlous, because the other needs were known to be wanting, Our rank and file desert wholesale; the trainiog of our cfficers at West Point is anti- qnated; the drill and reglmental tac- tica of our army has not been changed to meet the dangers of new arms of prectsion; our staff corps gathered at Washington to do little or no military study, and training in sclentific fare under its new conditions i ously lacking among our young offi- cers. These are all hard faots, of which every student of our army s palufully aware, It s one cof our national misfortunes that our little army has at its head, in G ineral Sher. man great military genius who does not belleve in book soldiers, and that his successor is a brilliant cavalry sol- dier of much the same way of think. fog. The result of this is that, with men of the beat sort in our army, nefthor {ts traditions nor its influences lead to hard work on mllitary sub- joots. Hard work 1s done. Our sig- nal service is mads up of tralned meteorologlsts, unequalled anywhere, and our army engiueers devote their llves to the study of every branch of thelr proteeslon except military en- gloeering. The able men who make up that corps como, in the nature of things, to be chiefly interested in the work they chlefly do, and thelr best years are glven to gov- ernment improvements, The other staff departments discharge patiently and well thelr regular work: bat in not one of them is any prepa tlon made for an extraordinary ex- igency. We stand in this respect ex. aotly where we stood in 1861, Our rellance, under these circamstances, must be in the morale of our offisers. Their high character and stainless honor, joined to the fighting qualities | E of a race which, in a thousand years, has never known a rout or surrendered an army, save in clvil war to au English-speeking foe, might be trusted to carry us through war, Profound regret must be felt tha this rellance s weakened by recent army scandale. The core of our ser- vice s still sound. As long as men like Terry and Orook, and the line officers who serve In the west and elsewhere aroin our army, its high standard cannot be wholly loat; but the dominant group in our service, the cluster of line and etaff officers in tho east, whose family and political {nfluence enables them to figure at the front as our ceremonial army, seems speckled with rotten spots. Ilges, Waeson, Morrow and Nickerson make » ead record; but these might bo ac- copted as exceptional If they were not all marked with the same characterls. tles of a corrapt, dlssolute and 1dle life, which has come to be part of the army atmosphere at Washington, Add to this the scandal luvolved In General Hazen's boing left untrled, and the lesser oases In which officors with a spotted reputation are left in the service, aod the prospect is seri- ous. Fortunately In Secretary Lincoln the country has a eound, sensible head of the war department, who has hown in dealing with army problems » high par and strong common sense, which ought to be able at least to begin a reform. MEMORIAL VDAY AT SBUCHUYLER. Correspondence of The Beo Scuuyrer, Neb., May 81,—The citizons of this clty observed Memo- rial day in a mauner second to none In the state.

At the cemetery the beautifal excrolses of the G. A, R. and fine singlog by tho ladles and gentlemen of Sohnyler were very impressive, Oolonel Smythe's address at the oemetery was a most beautifal produe- tion, ccoupying about half an hour, stirring the hearts cf the old veterans as well as the people generally, as he pasaed over the history of the war, ite oavsea and resnlts, The address was spoken of very highly by every oune, as an address of which he can well be proad, Afterwards flowers were strewn apon the graves of the fallen heroes, and the return march to the clty was made, X.

Camerivee, May 30.--The present outlook in Furnas county s very favor- able for crops of all kinds, and that the prospect tor a bountiful yleld of small grain is fully up to expectation. Hor acreage this year of crops Is con~ slderably above the average, and peo- ple are becomlng greatly encouraged in regard to her future prospects for farming, which they have every reason to be. Her ralufall Is visibly increasing year by year, and this portlon ot country has arrived at that state of dsvelopment where she no longer soffors from extreme drouths and other dlscouragements to farmere. Her cattle are increasing in number very fast, of which she has some very cholce grades, and many are the herds that can be seen grazlng on its suc- culent grasses which means wealth to the homesteader, Creamerles are springing up all over the land.
