ROSEWATER,“Editor. —_— Tunr Republican calls for a bill ef par- ticubnrs in the Laird matter. Our Dem- ecratic contemporary now has the floor to answer. Tuske seems to be an epidemic of matrimony just now in Omaha, but we hear of no movement on the part of elergymen to bull the fee markot. SuarrAL Bourbon exchangesare writ- ing lengthy editorials on “The Real Road #0 Democratic Sucoess.” The real road to Democratic suceess will be found in se- euring enough votes, i Tuskr seems to be no disposition to accopt ex-Secretary Kirkwood's offor to take the stump for the republican ticket in Towa in case he should be permitted to disavow the prohibition plank in the platform, Titn Sioux Falls convention is atill en- gaged in drafting a constitution forSouth Dakota, but with a heavily Democratic Congress opposed to increasing the Re- publican electoral vote mext year, the people of South Dakota are likely to have thair labor for their pains. Tun South Omaha creek has gradually disappeared, and in its place the city will seon have a wide and handsome street, built over a conduit whose construction has already added many thousands of dollars more than it cost to the value of Omaha real estato. Tus State fair opened with sunshine and ended in rain. But between sun- shine and rain the managers were able to attract a large and paying attendance to the best fair which has ever been held in this State. And this is what no city in Neobraska, Omaha alone excepted, can do. M. RaxpAun is satisfied with the speakership outlook, and Mr. Carlisle is eonfident of success. Tho only candidate who is not inclined to be sanguine is Bunset Cox, whose candidacy is to be in- cluded in the next edition of his famous book of jokes, entitled “Why We Laugh.” Ir is gratifying to note that our ciky schools have opened with a greatly in- ercased attendance in all departments, There has been much room for improve- ment in our school system, and as changes and improvements progress the public recognize them by extending their patronage. Tae fight among the Ohio democrats is a vory pretty one and the scalping of braves in the New York wig-wams has already begun. When Mr. Dana turns his editorial telescope on the political battlefields of the Buckeye and Empire states the cry of “The republican party must go” gurgles in his throat. — SIXTREN THOUSAND DOLLARS have been collected in New York by penny subscrip- tions to erect & monument to Potor Qoaper. Whilethe motive which prompts this tribute is a natural and a praise- worthy one, Poter Cooper's best monu- ment is the magnificent institution which he founded and endowed for the poor of his native city. Tun vonerable John Ericson is still at work on his torpedo boat, ‘“The De- stroyer,” which promises to prove the most effectunl means of coast defonso yot. devised. The plan of attack for this engino of destruction is to run her with- in 800 feet of a hostile vessel, which is to bo shattered below tho water line by a shot from a submarine gun. The recent experiments have proved that the pitch- ing of the vessel in rough water does not affoct the course of the projectile; that the concussion does not damage the steam connections when the boat is un- dor full boiler pressuro, and that there is no danger of a premature explosion of the torpedo when, on being fired, it dis- places the valve at the mouth of the gun, Tun Episcopal general eonvention which meets in Philadelphia in October will examine the revision of the prayer book which has been mado by a commit- toe appointed at the last convention, The new prayer book will be more an en. largement than a revision, The princi- pal changes are in the line of roplacing APPOINTMENTS T0 THE STAFP, Tho susponse of some six hundred army officers who were applicants for the two vacant appointmenta in the commissary .00 | and quartermaster departments has been 1.00 ended by the nomination of Second Lieu- tenant Sharpo, late of the Fourth in- fantry, to bo captain and assistant com- missary of subsistence, and ef Second Lieutenant W. 8. Patton, Eighteenth in- fantry to be oaptain and assistant quar- termaster. There iwo points to be noted in this connection; the first of which s that the president very wisely refased to go openly outside the army in filling the vacamcies on the staff. The last army bill, which was s0 hastily rushed through in the closing hours of the congressional session, contained a clause which permitted civilian appointments to stafl positions, and foars were entertained in some quarters that political influences would be brought to bearjupon the Presi- dent to securo the mest eligible of army positions for men who woie without mili- tary training or experionce. It is a matter for commendation that Mr. Arthur has not followed the precedent which he set in the appointment of young Smythe to the pay corps. Captains Sharpe and Palton are both army men, though the former is not now borne on the pages of the Army Register, having resigned his commission some months ago. The second point to be noted is that the appointment of ofticers of the lowest grade to dosirablo staff positions carrying with thom the rank and pay of captain can scarcely be commanded on grounds of justice. Such appointments ought to bo in the line of a regular promotion, and should bo given to deserving first licutenants whose long service or military record entitles them to the rank. To make captains of second lioutenants, when hundreds of their su- periors in rank who are in every way equally qualified for tho position are anxious to receive the appointment, is un- fair and unwise, unfair because it offers a premium on favoritism, which has been one of the crying ovils in army management, and unwise because it removes the healthy stimulus of abelief in the line that the faithfu] performance of duty is appreciated and will be rewarded by the commander-in- ohief of the army whenever opportunity is afforded. Much of the rancor and bit- terness exhibited by the veterans of the line who have grown old and grey in hard service on the plains and in the isolation of frontier posts, arises from tho fecling that their position and its emoluments might have been long ago changed for tho botter had they been fortunate enough to gain the ear of an influential politician or to have pressed their just claims upon the attention of the execu- tive. Failing in this, they see officers whom they rank in the service and excel in abilitios lifted to staff positions and exchanging the monotonous routine and the isolation of garrison life for the cushioned chairs and social enjoyment of light oftice work in the large cities. One of the greatest opportunitics for army reform is some change in the moth- ods of tenure of staffappointments which will equalize more than at present the bitter and sweets of military service. SOME WORDS ON THE FAIR. The state fair which has just closed Wwas a success in some partioulars. In others it was a failure. The attendance was good, and, considering the weather, the receipts were all that could reasona- bly have been expected. Thero will be no deficit to be carried over the next year, or to be met from the last surplus. Financially then the fair may be consid- ered a success, As a comprehensive exhibit of the pro- duction and resources of Nobraska, the stato fair was & failure. What county exhibits were displayed were |intoresting and good, but lsss than a dozen counties in the stato wero reprosented by anything like a showing of their resources, It can truthfully be said that of the capacity of Nobraska as an agricultural state little or no proof was shown. A fow bunches of oats, several shocks of wheatand ryo, a number of mammoth corn stalks and some small displays of fruits and vegetables formed aside from the railroad displays nearly the sum total of the agricultural exhibits. If we oxcopt the fine stock display, tho farm machinery soction, the few county ex- hibits and the railroad building the State fair as a state fair was only a limited suc- cess. These are plain words but they are the truth, There noeds to be a radical reform in the management of the State Board of Agriculture and the old ruts in which the Boaz1 has been jogging peacefully along for th.o past five yoars must be in future avoided. The next Legislature should be applied to for an appropriation suffi- cient to make a State exhibit at the State emissions from the English book; in the |fair.

Such an exhibit, to which country enterprise and the premiums offered by the State boards would add as much at least as is shown under present auspices, would render our fair truly a State fair. 1t would then become an ob- ject-lesson of the resources of Nebraska, instructive alike to her own citizens and to visitors from abroad. Tan Astor family in New York during their eareer have given a striking proof of how enormous wealth ean be accu- mulated by the simple process of sound real estate investments and patient wait- ing. They have also furnished an ex- amplo of the means by which property may be practically entailed in ono family and the wranglos of contested wills avoided. John Jacob Astor, the old- est member of the family, now growing old, has followed the family custom and precluded all possibility of the lawyers becoming interested in his property by deeding his entire estate to his son, William Waldorf Astor, reserving only an annuity of $100,000, to bo annually paid to himself during his life. He has thus made himself a pensioner on his son by a wiser regulation than Lear arranged with his daughter. On an income of £100,000 a year ho is not likely to be re- duced to tho strait of begging for food and shelter, and his old age is tolerably secure from penury. John Jacob Astor, the elder, who died about eight og ten years ago, loft his vast wealth to John Jacob and William B. Astor, and gave o fat slice to his grand-daughter, who is since dead. William B. Astor provided for his idiot son, and both father and son are dead. At the time of the elder John Jacob Astor’s death the Astor estate was estimated at $40,000,000, but the property was then mostly unproduct- ive. Since that time the Astors have been forced to build for self-protection, and tho estates have immeasurably in- creased in value, but it is a family rule novor to tell or give a hint of what they aro they aro worth. It is believed that estate just deeded by the present John Jacob to his son William Waldorf Astor, represents from $60,000,000 to §70,000,- 000—a little matter of ten millions or so in the estimate is of small moment. There is no will to break, and there will be no enormous fees to pay, and the Astor design is that the wolid millions shall roll up and pass down from genera- tion to generation. It is a practical en- tail, and under this deeding system, as the estate does not come into court, its value is unknown. There seoms to be a bond of union, a sympathetic vein, between Savage and all corrupt, dishonest frauds wherever they may be found. As an attorney in Omaha, before he was elected Judge, his clients consisted principally of profes- sional gamblers and the worst classes of residents of that city, and since he re- signed the Judgeship what littlo practice he has had has been of the worst class of criminals,— Blair Pilot. The editor of the £ilot who resided in Omaka at the time and capped for a monte shop on lower Farnam street, no doubt feeln himself quali- fied to speak for the ‘“‘professional gamb- lors and the werst classes of residents” of this city. Until the time of his election to the bench, James W. Savage was senior member of the firm « of Savage and Manderson in which Senator Manderson was Lis partner. New does the reformed monte sharp of the Pilot intend to charge that Senator Mander- son, who had an interest in the proceeds of all cases coming into his firm, was also an attorney whose “clients consisted principally of professional gamblers and the worst classes of residents” of Omaha., This is & new and refreshing exposure, which will no doubt be greatly appre- cinted by our junior Senator. SExaTOR LoaAN is boasting of his inso- lence to Sitting Bull, and says, “The point T tried to make on Sitting Bull was that he was not such a h—1l of an Indian as ho scemed to think.” Accor- ding to the Rev. Mr. Hinman, the point Sitting Bull made on the Sioux commis- sion was, to use the chief's own language, that thoy were “‘A lot of drunken loafers travelling at government expenso.” 8o far Mr. Bull scoms to have had the best of the controversy. WiiLe the Ohio democrats are fightir among themselves over who is responsi- ble for the party disorganization, the re- publicans are quietly preparing to roll up an astonishing majority for the unknown Foraker and the Great Scott law. WEST OF THE MISSOURI, The projected Salina, Lincoln & Deca- tur railroad kas become a certainty. The gentlemen, who are the active managers of the proposed road, Judge O. P. Hamil- ton and Mr. G, V. Morford, were in Omaha last week and gave every assur- ance that grading would commence on some portions of the line this fall. The recent change to the present name of the company is intended to cover a charter which the company has secured for a bridge over the Missouri river at Deca: tur, It will be remembered that the Sioux City & Pacific at one time had dotermined to cross the river at that point instead of at Blair. The surveys of Engineer Morrison at that time show the location to be superior to any point be- tween Omaha andf Sioux City, and the charter for bridge there will prove very valuable to the new road. The success of the Missouri Pacific as @ north and south road has doubtless stimulated the projectors of the Salina road to take in a wider range of country, and one that is inadequately supplied with railroad facilitios. The proposedliie be- gins at Salina, a flourishing little city in the center of Kansas, running in a direct norsheasterly course to the Nebraska line, passing through Beatrice, Lincoln and ‘remont, to Oakland, and from there to Decatur on the Missouri river. From Decatur a line is projected to Spencer; Towa, where connection will be made with gy the great Milwaukee line,® At Cherokee, Towa, about midway betyeen Decatur and Spencer, it will cross thé Tllinois Central road. At Oakland in Nebraska it will connect with the St. Paul & Omaha, and at Fremont it will interest the Sioux City branch of the Northwestern, as well as the Union Pacific. At Lincoln it will cross the B. & M. system and in its course south will cross six branches of the U. P. in_Kansas, From Salina a road is in course of com- struction to Council Grove, where it will oounect with the Missouri Pacific, reach- ing to all the great coal fields of sowth- eastern Kansas, and n;’ening up to Ne- braska a new source of fuel «npply. Benides these actual ani! prospective connections, the Topeka, S.lna & West- orn rond reaches into some of the most important coal fields of Kansas, and tra- verses the great wheat belt. Millions of bushels of the fine winter wheat produced in this section of Kansas is bought and used by Minneapolis millers every sea- #on, and when this projected route is completed it will, of course, follow it in- stead of the roundabout way through Kansas City. The northern end of the line gives di ot connection with the pinerics of Min- nesota and Wisconsin, The managers assert that the enter- prise is not backed by any particular rail- road company, but that ample capital had been secured for its construction. All that is needed is such organization and assistance as will put the investment into good and safe shape, and it will be at once hurried to completion. The com- pany will ask assistance of the communi- ties through which the road will pass, on the condition that the road shall be com- pleted through the county from one end or tho other before a cent is paid. In this State Oakland will doubtless be the point at which work will begin, on ac- count of superior facilities for having material Iaid down. The propositions submitted to localities in this vicinity will stipulate for a communication with that point for a continuous line south. Ths cost of the road, exclusive of some beavy bridging, will be about $12,000 per mile, It is the intention to limit the stock and securities issued, to that the road will have no difficulty in earning good dividends after the first year of its operation. 1t is the intention to consolidate the en- tire line from Salina, Kansas, to Spencer, Lowa, as soon as the preiiminary work is done, and the financial and construction arrangements will all be made upon the basis of a line 260 miles long. The Kansas portion of the line is ready for operations to begin, and work is only waiting upon the condition of atfairs in Nebraska. The B. & M. has so thoroughly cov- ered the southern tier of counties with railroad iron that it jealously resents in- trusion from all but those sufficiently powerful to give it battle on any field. The organization of the Salina, Lincoln & Decatur company was the signal for hostilities. A new company was imme- diately put in tho field, with the compre- hensive title of the Chicago, Towa & Kan- sas Railroad company, with the avowed purpose of covering nearly the same route from the Nebraska line to Salina. Supt. Holdredge and the backers of the road visited Odell, the point where the Salina line will connect with the main system of the B. & M.,and opened stock subscription books. It is a matter of common rumor that this work will also be commenced this fall, for the purpose, as would appear, of throwing a damper on the Salina, Lincoln & Decatur pro- ject. Another company has been organized a8 a feeder to the B. & M. known as the Nebraska & Colorado company, which proposes to hulld wese irom Beatrice. ‘The Express s.ys the present line of the Beatrice branch will be followed from Beatrice to DeWitt, to avoid several cost- ly bridges and other heavy railroad work. he road will be built from De Witt across the southeast cerner of Saline county, running north to Plymouth and Fairbury, in Jefforson county, crossing the St. Joe & Western at or in the vicin- ity of Belvidere, running to Hebron and thenco to Chester, on the Republican Valley hne of the B. & M. The entire line from Beatrice to Chester will not be completed this winter, as the season for railroad building is now too far gone to permit the building of about seventy miles of road. The wonderful growth and prosperity of the Republican Valley in past years is supplemented the present year with a harvest of grain, vegetables and stock that puts all previous records in the shade. Fourteen years ago it was thought by many that the region watered by the Republican, now comprising eight of the southern tier of counties in Nebraska, was a wild waste, and that it could not bo used for any other than grazing purposes. The men who settled in that region then and successfully braved the privations of pioneering, can now look upon that same region dotted with thriving villages, substantial homes, stacks of grain and waving fields of corn, The excellonce of this valley for stock- raising has long been known and sought after. Thegreat herds of buffalo found by the early settlers left no doubt about the grass and water, Buffalo grass still grows and cattle fatten nicely upon it, and if the snowfall is not too great thrive all winter with no other food. But the cowboys and Jcattle ranches have given place to the ngricultunl settlers, If any one doubting the fertility of this region weuld now journey through Web- ster, Franklin, Harlan and Furnas coun- ties and count the stacks of oats, wheat, barley and rye, and measure the stalks of ripening corn, he would soon be con- vinced of his error, From all points comes the reportof handsome yields from small grain, extending from a quarter of a mile to & mile and a half on each side of the stream bed, In 1880 the B. & M. company extended their line more than a hundred miles into Republican valley. This is now the popular Barlington route to Denver. The company were the owners of many acres of rich soil, and were desirous of having permanent settlements along their line. Accordingly, their circular were sent threugh the Kmd announcing cheap homes in the West. Nothing so encour- ages the settlement of a new country as cheap lands, Thousands of acres now worth ten or.twelve dollars each were sold for three or four dollars. Such prices enablo farmers who had rented farms valued at forty or sixty dol- lars per acro in eastern states to pur- chase farms of their own. There were also thousands of seres lub"ect to home- stead and timber claim. The titles to these timber claims have just been per- fected, and there are now not a few homes under cultivation with mice groves of timber on them. Cottonwood in still a favorite beeauso it grows so rap- 1dly and makes shade and a wind-break in a very few years. Ash and box-elder grow naturally and with little care. An old settler and cattle raiser said the black walnut grows rapidly and seems native to the climate. The increased cultivation and planting of trees has produced the anticipated effect upon the rainfall, which has increased year by year, until now, when it is abundant and properly dis- tributed, the Republican flows full to the brim. A movement haa been started in Colo, rado to secure the setting apart of a eer- tain day in each year which the people generally can devote to tree planting—in fact to secure the establishment of Arbor Day. In urging the scheme The Denver Tribune points to Nebraska as a forcible illustration of its benefits : “Arbor Day there,” says The Tribune ‘‘has become a State festival, which is annually observed by every public spir ited citizen. The result is an object of admiration to every visitor and of com- ment to all who are acquainted with the country before the establishment of the system. Originally a plain as treeless as the cattle ranges of Colorado, the more closely populated portions of Nebraska are now a well planned and regularly laid out forest. An attractiveness has been added to the landscape and a comfort to the habitations that could not have been attained in any other way, and which are a constant source of pleasure and en- joyment to all who live within the range of their beauty and foliage. In the city of Lincoln, Arbor Day is a day of ju- bilee, the population recognizing that to fts establishment is due the wonderful beauty of their tree-embowered thorough- fares.” The climate of the western plains i gradually undergoing remarkable changes. The unusually heavy rail fall of the pres- ent year, in western Nebraska and Wyo- ming, is hailed with unconcealed joy by the press of our neighboring territory, as indicating that there is some impelling force of nature at work, which in a few years may revolutionize the agricultural productions of the west. The cultiva- tion of tho soil is undoubtedly the pri- mary cause of the change. Itis an un- disputed fact that the rain fall has in- crensed west of the Missouri river by re son of the cultivation of the land. = This being true of Kansas and Nebraska, it will prove true with respect to Wyoming. The glory of that region has been its dry climate, and should the amount of rain- fall next year approximate to that of the present, the territory may expect to ex- perience many of the ills and blessings that fall to the states cast. The increase of rainfall is a curious operation ef nature, and is worthy of the deepest study. 5 The remarkable success attending the sinking of artesian wells in Denver and vicinity is of incalculable value to the city and state at large. It demenstrates the existence of subteranean streams of pure water, which only require an outlet to furnish an apparently unlimited sup- ply. The first well sunk in the State was by Mr. J. M. Parberry, on the South Park road, about six miles from Denver, in the spring of 1881. Water was struck at a depth of 220 feet and a flowing sup- ply secured for all purposes intended, which continues till this day. A dozen or more wells have been sunk in Denver the present year, in each case a copious supply being secured. The most impor- tant of these are the Windsor hotel well, the water of which rises in a stand pipe above ground 180 feet: and that at the Colfax avenue bridge,] which furnishes an abundant supply of wonderfully pure, cold water. The News says a few weeks will witness the wonderful sight of pub- lic drinking feuntains from which will flow sparkling streams of the purest artesian water in the world, which will be erected by the liberality of citizens as an evidence of their gratitude for the great boon conferred upon them by a beneficent Providence. These foun- tains, to the number of probably fifty, will be placed in different portions of the city, and in their construction, the en- joyment of luxurious draughts will not be denied man’s faithful friend, the horse, as in a number of cases troughs will be added to the fountains. A well possessing many remarkable characteristics, differing in many respects from those of the oth s which have been sunk, is that whichis now approach- ing completion back of the Lothrop block at Bighteenth and Lawrence streets. It was commenced about three weeks ago, and is now down 640 feet, Some of the strata penetrated by the drill are pecu- iiar, one of the stranges features being the entire absence of clay. After passing through eighteen feet of coarse sand and gravel, a bed of shale was pierced, This was succeeded by 35 feet of dolo- mite, or carbonate of magn nd lime; then followed shale, sand rock and quartz, succeeded again by sand rock at a depth of 320 feet, in which a good flow of water was struck; then followed 20 feet of quite pure silica, after which sand rock was again reached at a depth of 340 feet, The boring will be continued through this strata, when it is hoped the flow will increase to the de- sired pro‘rurtiunu. Upon reaching %its extreme depth the sand pump developed the fact that a vein of mineral resemb{ing |1unrtz and native silver had been reached. The particles were very small, but suf- ficient of them were gathered to have an assay made. This discovery suggests the query whether it would not pay to sink a shaft of the depth of 3060 feet if there was an_absolute certainty of getting pay mineral at the bottom, ““White H\ nd “‘Red ," two of the fleet-footed Winnebago Indians, from the Northwestern Nebraska region, will run a two-mile race on the second day of the Butler county fair this week, PSSy P Lt "Se. bk piaw REMEDY F‘Ol%u “13’1111.\']'.
