E BEE BUBLISHING C0, PROPS. B. ROSEWATER,ZEditor. ‘Tur non-arrival of about 300 tents at the Hastings reunion in seasonable time, proved quite a serious inconvenience, Tho result was that about two or three thousandipeople who could not be accom- modated on the grounds Tuesday even- ing, had to go into town for the night. ‘Wednesday morning, however, the tents came and were spoedily put up. The re- wunion is proving a great success. Rev. Tromas K. BERCHER, of Henry Ward Boecher, has been nominat- ed by the greenback state convention, held at Rochester, New York, for secre- tary of state. It is needless to say that he is a preacher and thinker of marked ability. The nearer you get to his place of residence, which is at Elmira, the greater ig his popularity, But the nom- ination of preachers of the gospel is not generally a fit thing to be done. Their call- ing, acknowlodged to be of the highest, demands, by its importance, all their time and talents. The bringing of min- isters of the gospel into politica or politi- cal campaigns, as cardidates, or other- wise, seldom moets with satisfactory suc- cess. Of course Mr. Beecher will not be elected, vertainly not by the strength of the party which has put him in nomina- tion. Jay GouLp has given his testimony betore the senate committee on the labor question. Ho says when he obtained control of the lines of railroad, which oonstituted the beginning of his present system, their earnings were not above $70,000 a month; whilo the earnings of the system which he now controls were 5,600,000 during the past month. Mr. Gould gives it as his idea that a government postal telegraph is opposed to American institutions, He also ex- prossed it as his opinion that the mail service would bo better accomplished by private enterprise. As to the telegraph business, he says “*uniform tariffs could be mecured under private enterprise as well as under government supervision.” ‘Would Mr. Gould say that uniform tariffs by railroads can as well be secured by private enterpriso as by government reg- ulation? What great corporations can do and what thoy will do when left entirely to themselves without logal control are two different things. HeNry ViLuarp, the president of the Northern Pacific railway company, whose international picnic is attracting so much attention at present, was once a nows- paper reporter. He came to Denver with Greeloy and Richardson in 1859, and with them signed the report of their observations of the first placer mining done in Gregory gulch. This roport was first published inan extra number of the Rocky Mountain News, and was print- ed on brown paper, there be- ing no white paper in the settlement at that time. The extra was the sixty num- ber of the News, which way then, as now, the only newspaper published in this region, Mr. Villard, like “Mr. Reilloy who " keops the hotel," has dono very well in the meantime, and his example should prove an_inspiration to the hosts of re- porters now dreaming of fame and for- tune on $20 per week. He is worth be- tween $20,000,000 and §30,000,000, and is the controlling spirit of one of the ?.mz corporations in the world. —2, . News, SENATOR VAN WYCK'S SPEECH. Hon, 0. H. Van Wyck, United States senator, dolivered the annual addiess at the Oass county fair at Plattsmouth, “Thursday. In ourcolumns will be found extracts from the address, which not only farmers, but everybody else who takes any interest in mattors pertaining to our wel- fare as a people, should read, and if any there are who do not have such interest, it mny be that the reading of those por- tions of the wpeech will awaken an inter- st in them, A Wen the senator speaks he does not dopt the inuondo style. There is no difficulty in finding out what he is driv- ing at. He always means something, and what he meansis veryapt to be for the publicgood, If he touches an old subject, his method of treatment gives it addition- al freshness, It has come to be pretty well known and recognized all over the country that the senator is watchful for the welfare of the people. Heis working, a is every other public man in this coun- #xy, in & broad fleld, in which are varied and vast interests to be guarded and pro- moted, The measures and projects which are constantly brought ferward,, the com- binations to secure them which are made, not less than the celerety with which they are pushed onward, require all the ability and industry which our public men can command, to shape and mould what pertains te the public welfare, in a ‘wise way, Welive in a day of syndicates aud corporations, ‘*‘organized” as Noovin Green, President of the Western Union, said, “to make money.” The Benator touches on these subjects, Read what he ” - PUSTAL TILIGRAPHY. 1t may bo regarded as certain that the question of postal telegraphy by the gov- ernment will be brought prominently be- fore the next congress, There is hardly a subject connocted with the public inter- ests which is now more frequently touch- od upon by the press threughout the country, and more or less discussed, than that, It will doubtless continue to be agitated, without abatement, uutil it shall be disposed of, at least for a time, by congrossional action. In case the government shall undertake the business two courses aro open for its accomplish- ment: one for the government to pur- chase the existing lines, the otker for the government to build new lines. The stock of the Western Union represents £80,000,000, while its actual cost proba- bly has not exceeded and quite likely has not equaled half that sum. Somo insist that, should the government undertake the business it ought not to purchase the Western Union's prop erty at a greater price than would be required to build the same. Tt would certainly be difficult to find any valid reason for paying the full sum rep- resented by the stock, watered as it has been, Indoed it can in no proper sensc be said to be worth that amount. The stock is now quoted on the market only a trifle above three-fourths of 1ts fac. value. It would be subjecting it simply to the legal rules which govern commer- cial transactions to put its value at what it sells for. But even this might be put- ting it too high, for probably no large amount could be sold at such figures. Such stocks are generally kept quite as high as they will bear, by men rich enough to control them, and to keep them up to the higest available notch. The Chicago Tribune takes she ground that, instead of purchasing, the government should build, new lines, leaving the present companies in competition. The object of the government would nol bo to make momey, but to conduct the business in the interest of the people, and at such rates as would make the business little more than self- sustaining, It is difficult to see how the companics could maintain their lincs against such competition, Their proper- ty certainly would depreciato in value. Still it is undeniably true that the gov- ernment weuld be under no obligation to purchaso the existing lines at a greator price than they are fairly worth. The United States revised statutes pro- vide that the government may purchase the telegraph lines constructed over the public domain at its option, at an ap- praised value. The statutes further pro- vide that the appraisal shall be made by | five disinterested persons, two of whom are to bo selocted by the postmnaster-gen- oral, two by the company, and ono by the four o selected. Itis said, on what soems relinblo authority, that Postmaster- General Gresham, while having no settled convictions regarding government postal aphy, has resolved to give the subjuct an exhaustive roview, to ascertain all itsmerits, **Tintend,” hosuys “ito give the subjoct careful considora- tion, and until [ have done so, I cannot tell what my conclusions will be.” Tt may be expected that he will give the subject a pretty thorough discussion, together with his conclusions, in his an- nual report to bo submitted to congress in December. PROSP'KING CONDITIONS, It is said that times, which is supposed to mean business, in Colorndo, are dull, and that this dullness porvades Denver. Jolorado like most if not all countries, is, and doubtless will continue 1y to be, the home of a good many very rich persons—Douanza kings, if you ploase. There are and will continue to be a fair number not rich who will do well, and somo of them will get wealthy by tilling the soil. Hor valleys, and in fact all her soil susceptiblo of cultivation, is abund- antly rich, but nearly all of it to produce crops must be irrigated. So irrigation constitutes ono of the limits to her pro- ductivencss, Whatovor the farmor can raiso will, howover, always find a veryre- numerative market in the mining toywns, Yet the railroads which traverse the for- tilo plains of Nobraska and Kansas and atrike into the mountains, by furnishing the abundant agricultural supplies of theso productive atates, will keep food vroducta down to a reasonable price. As times, goos and mining business is systematized, the rich mines will fall into a few hands, and the owners of them will procure their supplies, not by littles, but upon a wholesale plan, and from points at which they can be purchased oheapest. It is said that this is already being done, and ‘tlat small shops and stores in Denver and other parts of the state are already very sensibly feeling the loss of trade resulting from such acourse Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City are commercial and manufacturing centers which will be patronized by tho mining kings in making their purchases. This view of affuirs is applicable to nearly all mountainous mining coun- triea, The fact is that even, grow- ing and continued prosperity for all classos, is to be looked for in a city which has its roots in the earth, and in & country highly favorable for agriculture, Adaptation to manufactures should also be included. It is undeniable that Owaha is city 8o situsted, Around it on every side is a country which for its fertility is not excelled anywhere. Nor is the country which is tributary to i ana of which it is the commercial conter cireumscribed within any narrow limits, It extends on every smde far enough to furnish all that is necessary to build up nud support prosperously, a great city, Omahba is growing fast. It has business life. New business enterprises on no wican acale are started hero with a fre- quency that is surprising. There is & warrant for all this, and a warrant that it will be lasting. We predict that buta few yoara will pass befere Omaha will be- come a greater and more important city than those who have predicted for it a jrosperous future have dared to antici- pato. It seems impossible, says the Kansas City Journal, to prevent the fraudulent salo of oleomargarine. Stringent laws have been passed, but they are not en- forced; the people have been informed regarding the impositions practiced upon them, but they are poworless, and, em- boldenod by past success and prospects of future security, the manufacturers are increasing the capacity of their factories, wnd are turning out the nefarious com- pounds in still larger quantitios. It goes to the hands of the grocer or the butter {ealer, and he sells it, not as eleomar. qarine, but as new farm dairy butter.

One of the signs of the timesis tho noticeably conciliatory tone used towards the railroads by the busineas-men of the day. The Chicago merchants who are now engaged in the very useful work of organizing a freight burcan have evident- Iy felt it necessary toshow a velvety hand in that enterprise. The constitution adopted by the merchants’ organization is Ju.i«-n and soft in its language. The object of the movement is declared to be “to givo the railroad and other transpor- tation companies such information," ete., “'to assist,” and so en. We noticed the same judicious tact in the language of of the protest made the other day by the shippers of beef to the east against the destructive and confiscatory increase in uxulutuu about to be made by the Fink pool, The simple fact is, that morchants and business men are afraid of the railroads. Modern business has been whittled to were the rates made by the New York Central to the house of A. T. Stewart, which needed no fostering, but still got it, than those mado to competing con- cerns, which needed some lifts but didn’t get them, points we do not doubt to the season for this indifference of the largest shippers to the benefits of the “mutual” plan of dealing with the railroads. The fact that fifteen of the twenty-five merchants appointed to draft the consti- tution of the Chicago Merchants' Freight Bureau were absent at the meeting to consider that document is a sign that it in with no very overwhelmingenthusiasm they have undertaken t, fhell the cat. This is not atrange, for the business man a8 a business man is rather timid. Rail- road men do not like to have the gentle- men whose goods they ship form socio- ties whose purpose, however dellcately phrased, is the revolutionary one of com- pelling-—that is, “assisting”--the com- mon carrier to surrender the arbitrary ex- orcise of his power, and the reformatory chant is likely to feel the claw of cor- porate displeasure in due time. There are state officers to take cogni- zance of discriminations in charges with- in the the state lines. There are state laws to control the railroads in the state. But these laws and officials protect but a fraction of the business of this cit, mentary efforts of all state railway commissions and state legislatures added together do not answer for the protection of the trade of great distributing points like Chicago or New York, which reacles into dozens of states, Nothing but na- tional action and a persistent national supervision by a national commission will meet the needs of *‘commerce among the suveral states The freight bureauisa good thingas far a8 it goes, but it does not go very far. There is a great political question involy- ed in the regulation of rnihmldn, and it is to be wished that the merchants who are 80 successful in making money would give a little more attention than they do to the improvement of the government to which they must look for the protec- tion of their fortuues and the inherit- ances of their children. Politics in this country i8 becoming the playthmg of the foolish and corrupt mainly ~bocause our business-men fail to see that close look- ing after political and social duties is as much an eloment in the presrvation ot their property as the shrewdness and in- dustry that amassed it. Stamp Out the Claim Agents, Chicago Herald, One of the most unmitigated pests the government has to contend with in these' days is the Washington claim agent. He is an active, unscrupulous, pestiferous fellow, who needs constant watching, for lie is constantly devising schemes to swindle the government or his clients, or both. The pension claim agent is the most unscrupulous of his kind, and, per- haps, the most successful. There is no doubt that the government is yearly pay- ing out millions to pensieners who have not o shadow of claim to the bounty, but whose names have been placed on the rolls through the chicanery of pension agents. These vultures prey upon every- body and through every department. They send out circulars by the tens of thousands, enticing people to set up some shadowy claim against the government and employ them to collect it. Even now country postoflices aro being flooded with the circulars of a Washington agent of- fering to collect certain back pay said to bo due under the late readjustment of postmaster’s sala Nobody but the claim agents has so_interpreted the law as to show any back pay due, and the postniaster-general says there is nothing in it,but the agents go on, and, no doubt, hundreds of postmasters will scnd money to the shark to prosecute the claims. There ought really be some way of checking the claim agency evil. Congress has clearly the right to regulate the sys- tem of proseeuting claims beford the de- partments a3 to shut out this class alto- | other, and thousandsof peoplo whohave | heén wronged in one way or another would rejoice to see it dor Mary And London papers have elaborate eriti- | cisms on Miss Anderson’s appearance at | the Lyceum September 1.

They do not | liko tho play of “Ingomar,” which is a poor version of the sterling German ro- because they can not compare Miss An- | derson with any English actress | universal verdict is however, *‘a phenom- cnal success,” even though a portion of | this The Times attributes first to curiosi- | ty, second to Irving's presentation of the actress to his pubiic, and third to English hospitali‘y. The Times thinks that Miss Anderson has vast talents, but lacks genius. Tho Duily News sits on the fence with his brother of the Times. Mr. Sims, dramatist and eritic of the Referee, and the critic of the Standard, both say what they have to say briefly. The lattor says: **All we can do at pros- «ut is to chronicle Miss Anderson's com- plete succens, the recalls being so numer- ous to defy particularization.” Sims say house was atirred in favor of the Ameri- can actress was increasingly evident. She came, was sven, and conquered. Very few, if any, of the actrosses of our own stock, could go through such an ar tificial part with the same delightful nat- uralness.” such fino edges by the working of compe- tition that railread rates may make or break. But it isnot only rates that mer- chanta have to look out for. Great losses may be visited upon them by the mere delay of their shipment the humor in which the railroad official enters upon o claim for damages; by the readiness with which cars are forthcoming when wanted; by many other things which may vary with the tempor of the common carrier. Business men, in the expressive lam. guage of one of them, ‘‘need the con- stant sunshine of the railroads.” That i8 to say, that to mcm?. business men need to be able to calculate the conditions of transportation with the same certainty a8 those of the currency or of taxation, Auy merchant may succoed if he has re- lations with railroad magnates that ena- ble him to secure the advantages of fa- voritism, But his success deranges all the efforts of the rest,and the community a8 & whole can do a geod and safe trade only when the railroads are managed, as the theory of railroad law requires that they should Dbe, fairly and reasonably. It i not necosaary to state, what every one knows to be the fact, that these com- mon earriers do not do their businoss on ln{ such principle. ¢ is not entirely accidental that neither here, nor in New York, nor elsewhere in the formation of these oryanizations to *‘assist” the railroads have the greatest merchants taken any part. They do not seem to need any co-operative assist in making torms with the common car- riers. They are the big fish. They can look out for themselves. The testimony taken before the Hepbwrn committee in New York, showing how much lower & Clement Scott, of The Telegraph, thinks she was heavily handicapped by the choice of she play, but admits *‘there must clearly be someshing in an actress who cannot only hold her own as Par thenis, bus, in addition, dissipate the dullness of ‘Ingomar. As for her beauty, he thinks she is more a Venus by Mr. Gibson than a Venus by Milo; a | % classic-draped figure of a Wedgewoed plaqud more than an eche from the Par- thenon. He thinks her great fault in acting is insincerity and inability to grasp the sympathies of the thoughtful part of her audience, and that her *‘peplum” ives her more concern than her ion, e would like to see more sincerity and less well studied artificiality, but admite that those things did nos affect her audi- ence, who choered her as if their hearts were really touched. A Diamond With a History, On great state occasions the quoen of England and empress of India wears, i the form of a brooch or pin, a diamond whoso history is as strange as its value is immense, ,\{o reliable wccount of ity origin has ever been obtained, but ac- cording to Indian legend it was fouud in the mines of Goleonda, near the Kishua river, and worn 5,000 yewrs by Kai one of the mythical heroos immrtali in the Mahabharata. 1t hecame the prize of victory to the Turkish invaders of Hindoostan, and from them passed into the possession of the M gul emporors, My son, Humayoun,” said Babcr, the greatost of them, “*has won a jewel from the rajah which is valued as half the daily expenses of the world.” Baber's suc- cessor showed it to Tavernier, the French traveller, in 1665. In 1730, mantic drama, and evidently feel at aloss | i The | [{ “That the pulse of the| ing it glitter in the turban of the Mogul prince whom he had just defeated and captured, said: *“We will be friends now; let us change our turbans in pledge of friendship.” The transter was made, of course, for it was simply a choice between losing the diamond and losing his head; and the new owner christened it Kon-i- noor, or “‘Mountain of Light.” Ahmed Shah, the Afghan conqueror, relieved Nadir's successors of it, and from him it descended to Runjeet Sing, *‘tho lion of the Punjab,” and raler of Lahore. On his death-bed Runjeet was almost per- suaded to atone for his many sins by donating it to the famous shrine of Juggernaut, but he finally con- cluded to risk the chances of hereafte without this costly passport to Heav and #o in 1841, when the Punjab was an- nexed to British India, the Koh-i-noor was among the assets of the province, and went with the rest into the hands of the British authorities. At one of the meetings of the board of commissioners, of whigh Henry Lawrence was president and JShnjLawrence a member, the proc- ious piece of property was formally made over to the Punjab government and plac ed in charge of *‘Jans Larcns,” as the na- tives called him. It wasa little box, wrapped up in namerous folds of cloth} and John Lawrence who never worea pin or ring in his lifo, and had a hearty contempt for jewelry, put it in hiis vest pocket and went on_with the business of the meeting. When he dressed for dinner he threw his waistcoat aside, forgetting all about the contents, and 80 the matter passed entirely from his mind, Some six weeks afterwards a message was received from the governor- general to the effect that the queen had ordered the diamond to be forwarded to her at once, and requesting its immediato transmission to the headquarters at Cal- cutta. Henry Lawrence spoke of the note te the board, and John said, “‘Send for it at once.” “Why, you've got it!" replied Henry; and then all the circum- stances flashed upon the careless custo- dian. With characteristic coolness he bo- trayed no emotion, merely remarking; “Oh, yes, of course; 1 forgot about it;" but in telling the story at a later day he confessed that he said to himself, *‘Well, this is the worst trouble I ever yet got into.” As soon as he could do so without attracting special attention, he left the council chamber, went to his private room, called for his old native servant and said to him: *‘Have you got a small box that was in my waistcoat pocket some time ago?” ‘“Yes, Sahib,” was the answer; “I found the dibbia (the native word for it), and put it in one of your boxes,” “Bring it here,” said Lawrence. The servant went to a dilapidated tin box and took out the dibbia. ~ ““Open it, and see what is inside.” The man opened the humblest casket that ever held the price- less gem, and removing one after another of the envelopes of rag, said, when he lifted the last: ‘‘There is nothing here, Sahib, but a bit of glass.” The *‘bit of glass” was eagerly seized and quickly given to the more careful guardianship of the board. The Koh-i-noor, when Tavernier saw it in 1665, was in the shape of a half egg and weighed 280 carats, having been re- duced by unskillful cutting, frem 793 5 carats—it original weight. If Traver- nier's figures are correct, it must have been reduced again, for when shown at the great exhibition in London in 1851, it weighed 186 1-16 carats. It has since been recut—very badly, in the opinion of experts—is now in the rose form and weighs only 106 1-16 carats. 'The lower side is_flat, corresponding to what is called *‘a cleavage plane,” and the sup- position is that the Koh-i-noor and the Russion Orloff diamond are portions of the original stone once belonging to the great mogul, while a stone of carats, obtained by Abbas Mirza at the storming of Coocha, in Khorassan, in 1832, may be a third fragment. The Cohclia stone, it is said, was long used by a peasant as a flint for striking fire, The three united would would makea diamond very nearly the shape and sizo of _that described by Travernier, and “‘the Mountain of Light” would vhen much better deserve its name thanit does now.
