THE GREELY PARTY 8 DANGER. The wreck of the relief ship Proteus has attracted wide attention to the poril- ous condition of Lieut.

Evaxaruist Mooy has arrived in Chi. cago to open gospel meetings but the question ‘‘What Will the Harvest Be,” awaits an answer from deforred frosts and the Nebraska corn crop. Tur Slade-Mitchell fight which was nothing buta shrewd advertising scheme, has been declared off,.and the sluggers will now begin the more genial occupa- tion of thumping each other before en- thusiastic audiences to the tune of $20,- 000 gate receipts. HErR Lasker, the German statesman ing at Saratoga, has formed the opinion that American wo- men are idle and American: men over- who has been worked. Herr Lasker should travel west where he will find the proportion of idle woman much smaller than on the broad piazzas and shady walks of the laziest watering place in the country. PauL VANDERVOORT, who was bounoced in disgrace from his official position for shameless neglect of his duties and for lying to his superiors, is bolstering up his hopes of reinstatement by a belief in what he calls ‘‘senatorial influence.” He declares; openlythat he will not only re- turn to the service, but that he will re- gunhuoldp ition in Omaha as soon as his ‘‘influential friends” have time to exercise themselves at Washington in his behalf. We do not know what senatorial influ- ences Mr. Vandervoort is referring to, or on what grounds he bases his belief that they will be put forth in his behalf. Vanderveort was originally an Illinois appointment, and possibly Gen. Logan may feel called upon to make a plea in But certainly Vandprvoort has nothing to expect from Scuator Manderson whose bugle blast of civil service reform woke the echoes of the state capital on the morning of his election his favor. to the Senate. Senator Manderson's declaration that he did not popose to make himself an office broker or to de- grade his high position into a patronage shop, ought to be cold comfort for Mr. Vandervoort. No civil service reformer of that stamp could consistently employ his efforts in behalf of a man who has been discharged from the service on charges of inefliciency and insubordina- tion running through a tenure of over five years. If Senator Van Wyck is the influence referred to by Vandervoort in his boast, we have not yet learned of the fact. It is is probable, then, that as is the case with his other endorsements of which the ma- jority come away from home, M=, Vander- voort's Senators reside at a distance from Omaha. Mz, RosEwATER in his spe Anti-monopoly conventlon, made acharge against some of our townsmen, Thummel & Platt, that if investigated, as has been insinuated, it would be liable to stir up up the ani in camp, viz: that they were instrumental in, and engineered the ousting of 200 fraudulent votes in the election wherein bonds were voted to the U. P, railroad company.—Grand Island Anti-monopolist. Mr. Rosewater siado no chargo what- ever, convention ho stated that Mr. Galloway, formerly a conductor on the Union Pa- cifie, had called at the Bee office two or three weeks previous and informed him that about four years ago while he was running on the U. P, road, he was or- dered in to Grand Island, He was there notified that he would be required to act a8 clerk of the election at which Hall county was asked to vote $75,000 in Mr. Gallo- way was duly elected clerk by the crowd of U, P. strikers at the polls, and after he had taken his place was told that the bonds to the Union Pacific. bends must be carried at all hazards. During the day some friends of the said that there would not be votes enough to carry the In answer to Mr. Galloway's query as to how they they were to be carried, he was informed that 200 ballots road came in and bonds, would be furnished, which number would assure the necessary majority, Mr. Gal loway then stated that the 200 ballots were brought in later in the day by Thummel and Platt and were secretly placed in the ballot box, ~After the polls claaed, the books were ductored to cover the fraud and the bonds were declared and in due course of time delivered to the company. This was Mr. Galloway's story to which he professed willingnes to make affidavit. uuder the statutes but the faaod ¢ has been re- ceived by Vassar College, this time from och at the In the course of a speech at the The charge therefore is not made by Mr. Rosewater but by M. Galloway the clerk of the election |1 who has recited the same facts to a dozen other persons. The crime i owt':wed alns stores at the places indicated. This comprised the establishment of additional depots of provisions, seven in number, on the coast of Grinnell's Land, the lo- cation of a winter station at Lifo Boat Cove and sledge parties through the winter of 1884 towards the north to assist him and his perhaps perishing compan- ions. All these plans have miscarried. The expedition of 1882 landed a fow stores, but far below the spot designated, and the expedition of 1883 returns with ita vessel crushed in the floes, without depositing additional stores at Littleton Island or elsowhero and with no men loft behind to form the relief parties who were to sledge to the assistance of Lieut. Greeley during the coming winter. If the Lieutenant is alive he is now on his way southward having been ordered to abandon his station not later than September 1. But his journoy back to Littleton Island will bo made against fearful odds and there unhappily strong reasons to fear that another fearful chapter of Arctio histery like that of the unfortunate De Long may be re- peated in the case of Lieutenant Greeley. The citizens of Omaha have a stronger interest in the circumstances from the fact that Lieutenant Greeley was sta- tioned for more than a year as signal offi- cer in this city somo years ago, and made many personal friends. n HOMES AND CORPORATIONS., Twenty-one years ago the Homestead Act went into force, and 608,632 home- steads have bebn taken up by actual set- tlers under its provisions, Through its beneficient workings the people have ab- sorbed 97,000,000 acres of the public lands for homes, an area as large as all of New England, New York and Ohio. Immense stretches of territory, shunned a8 barren wastes olnly because their re- sources had never been tested, have been turned into fertile farm lands and dotted with houses, and towns and cities have followed in the wake of the pioneers’ wagons, who found in the free gift of the government and outlet for their energies and a starting point for their fortunes. The results of the Homestead Act make a handsome showing, speaking volumes for the wisdom of that measure and ‘or the growth of the coun- try. Butilicre is a comparison picture te be placed by the side of the above which mars its effect. The New York Star calls attontion to the fact that dur- ing these twenty-one years some 200,- 000,000 acres of the public lands have been stolen away from the people, who wanted it for homes, and given to rail- road corporations. More than twice the amount taken up by actual settlers has been given to corporations to sell to set- tlors and foreign syndicates, that they might build railroads from the proceeds and have whole counties left to divide among the original spec- ulators, A large portion of the best land, the land most desirable for farms, the most available lands for homes to people of small means, has been given to, or gobbled up by, theso groedy and remorseless monopolies, Laborers who go west to build up homes for their families must either. buy farms of these corporations on ‘their terms or put up with inferior land. . Theso corporations still hold 138,000,- 000 acres of land, of which they have forfeited the title. Tho corporations have failed to comply with the terms on which the grants were made. ‘A region aslarge as Now England, Now York, Pennsylvanio and Ohio, can be recovered if the people insist that Congress shall ions to disgorgo. elared Dakota Capital Locating Commis- sion illegal and their acts void. This judgment naturally causes great rejoiciny and excitement at Yankton; but Bis- marck, where the capital has been lo- cated, looks serenely on and proposes to carry through its boom unless the United States Supreme Court breaks down, to which tribunal the final decision of the case has beon referred Turxk are faint groans from railroad organs throughout the State over Van- dervoorts removal, but the leading papers of the country are still engaged in put- ting the pertinent question, what the G.

The Daily Routine of the Military— Thoe Record of the Fifth Oav- alry—A Telegraph Nal- sance—Personal and General Notes. Hditorial Oorrespondemcs of Trn Bex, Fort Romixson, Neb., September 8, 1883, It is the grey of early morning and a quarter to five o'clock whem tho shrill notes of the bugle sounding reveille awaken me from my sound sleep and carry the information that the official day of the garrison has begun. Tho men are quickly up and the officers shortly emerge from their quarters te, receive tho roports of their companies and then to wond their way to the stables where the cavalry horses are receiving their groom- ing. This isan early rise, gentlemen, but it is one of the pleasures which every lieutenant and many captains in the gar- rison sarvice enjoy seven days in the woek and thres hundred and sixty-five days in the year. There are three com- panies of the Fifth Cavalry stationed at this post and one company of infantry. The cavalry has its advantages but it also possesses counterbalancing disadvantages. he first of these is the frequent cam- paign service which it is called upon to perform. The brunt of the work in In- dian campaigning must be borne by mounted commands, though the infantry has done pood service both inthe field and in manning the garrisons. None of our cavalry regiments has a botter record than the Fifth which, since the war, has been engaged, with scarcely an exeeption, in every important In- dian campaign in the West. It was in the Colorado and Nebraska Indian war in 1867 and 1868, with Crook in his Apache campaign in Arizona in '70 and '71; it took part in the Kansas trou- bles of 76 and did gallant service in the Sioux campaign of 76 and '77.

The by many of the most inent cif remaing wero S'Alb N._.u&.vmw-m‘—um takon to Albany for laterment, that time the regiment has been busy with frequent rummer scoutings and the total months of the garrison life of its officers and men within the past ten years would seem surprisingly small if stated. I mention these facts to show that even in timeof peace, so called, our little army on the frontier has found ample employ- ment for its energies and the *‘softness” of the service has been proportioned nnli to the gaps between campai whicl have been spent in building and repairing posts, making roads, constructing tele- graph lines and taking such rests as fre- quent transfers from one garrison to an- other would permit. For even when re- lieved from the weary marches and dan- gers of the campaign there is employ- ment enough for our soldiers on the frontier. At present at Robinson the men are busy building log barracks and when this work, made necessary by the lack of funds to pay for civilian labor, is concluded, a set of stables remains to be constructed. Under Col. Sumner sov- oval new buildings were erected, water works constructed, a ditch more than a mile inlength wasbuilt, and trees without number most of whicharedead wereplant- ed, all by the labor of enlisted men who were sworn into the service assoldiers but found that the word on the frontier com- prised a combination of duties for which they had not bargained, and about which the recruiting officer maintained a stu- died silence. The fault for this state of affairs rests neither upon the officers of the staff or line, and no one feels more strongly the injustice it works to the sol- dier tinn many of our post commanders. But posts must be built and kept in re- pair, and communication between garri- son and headquarters must be maintained and where funds are lacking to buy laber tho best available unpaid RO be employed. Army officers generally agreo that a large Burccnugo of deser- tions arise from the disgust of enlisted men for the menial duties which they are often called upon to perform. At nine o'cleck the bugles play a lively tune for guard mount. It is surprising what a varioty of music can be evoked from this simple instrument, but it does not take tho place of a full brass band, and this leads me to comment on the in- justice of retaining the bands in the army at rogimental hendquarters. ~ Undor the old organization of the army, as T under- stand it, the bands were entirely support- ed from the army appropriation, the ex- enses for instruments, music, &c., being rne by the government, at pres- ent constituted, musicians arve en- listed as soldiers, and the band expenses aro met by centributions from the officers and men. of every company in the regiment. Such being the caso it seoms manifest that the various posts should receive some benefit from their contributions and that all the results should not accrue to the companies sta. tioned at regimental headquarters. General Howard very sensibly recontly sent the Fourth infantry band to Fort Niobrara for a two week's detail and if the example were followed with respect to other posts and regiments in the do- partment it would be greatly appreciated. Of course tho great objection 18 the old rogulations stationing the band at regi- men tal headquarters and the added one that no appropriation is available for pur- poscs of transportation, but both of these could be removed by proper legislation, The effort at least would be greatly ap- preciated at some of our frontier posts which feel keenly the deprivation of the music for which they pay and to a partic- ipation in whose enjoyment they. are justly entitled. During the morning, target practice is going on in the range to the rear of the arrison, three squads of recruits are drilling in front of the quarters the train of teams hauling logs to the saw mill for the now barracks passes slowly across the lovel between the garrison and the buttes to the south and the sound of haw- mer and saw ocomes from across the parade ground where Captain Payne's company are at work as carpenters on their quarters, There scoms to be no lack of work military and otherwise when, to cap the climax, word is brought that the telegraph line 1s down some where between Robinson and Hat Creek, and a detail of soldiers is sent out to find and repair the break in order that the post may be placed in communica- tion with headquarters at Omaha. The telograph line to Robinson as at present conducted is a malignant nuisance. It is a branch of the Cheyenne & Black Hills line and runs from Hat Creek to the post, u distance of sixty miles, It is owned by private parties who throw the labor of its maintenance on the govern- went and remain sweetly oblivious whether it is up or down as long as they receive their monthly compensation for s i ita use. From Robinson to Pine Ridge Agency, sixty-three miles away, the government owns a wire and there is also a wire between Pine Ridge and the Rose- bud Agency and between that Agency and Fort Niobrara. The construction of a line filling in the gap of twenty-sight miles between Niobrara and Rosebud would give the government a telegraph of their own from Robinson to Pine Ridge, Rosebud and Niobrara with direct com- munication with Omaha. This is 5““" needed. Getting a dispatch to and from Robinson is as uncertain as an Ohio majority in an _October and the old line has been patc! goirod 80 often that it in likely to fall own any hour out of sheor weakness. An attempt will bo 1o at the next congresa to secure a speocial appropriation for the building of the portion of line mentioned, and the clause in the signal serviee estimates, which bears on this point, shouid receive the favoring influ- once and votes of the entire Nebraska delegation. As this letter is made up chiefly of di- gressions, I might as well wander to the quartermastor's building and note the ne- comsity of quartermastersergoants in army garrisons, There is a commissary ser- geant at every post to keep track of the commissary stores and fill up tho blanks, make reports, and, in general, to per- farm the duties of grocery store clerk and bookkeepor for this_important dopart- ment. There is also an ordinance ser- geant in charge of the guns, field pieces and ammunition. But neither of these departments have a tithe of the trouble- some details that are connected with the quartermaster's, There the supplies for the garrison, except the ones above mentioned, must be accounted for, and the receipt, issue and expenditure of every articlo is hedged around by awall of writing paper and red tape which is aw- ful tocontemplate. Gallons of ink areshed in official correspondence relating to the whereabouts of a truant water bucket or an erring hand saw, the condemnation of a load of hay or the short measure of a bolt of blue flannel for all of which some lieu- tenant detailed to act as quartermaster is responsible. Whilo quartermasters on the staff or a4 depots have an army of clerks to keep their papers utmi&ht, the post quartermaster must do the best he can with only such assistance as he can find among the enlisted men. In conse- quence, with the most studied attention to the duties of the position,mistakes and entanglements ensue and each change of officers is likely to be follewed by the re- tiring quartermaster putting his hand into glil pocket and re-imbursing the gov- ernment for the loss of some trifling arti- cle of post furniture which has strayed from his ofticial vision, or for which he has been wrongfully made accountable through the blunders of an incompetent extemporized clerk. Theappointment of sergeants for the quartermasters depart- ment would work as favorably as the tem of commissary and ordnanee ser- ge;nu, and Congress must sooner or later e made to see the question in the proper light, which is that of a true and rational economy. One of the bright sides of a soldier’s life is the care which is taken of the sick. The post hospital at Robinson is a con- venient, well lighted and well ventillated two story frame structure under the charge of Surgeon Henry McElderry. It comprises an office and library, a neat and well stocked apothecary shop, where Hospital Steward Bergold has his head- quarters, two sleeping rooms, store rooms d a cheerfully sunny ward with every convenience for the care of thoso on the sick list. The iron cots insulated from jars on rubber castors and covered with sf‘otleu linen, the cleanly floors and shining woedwork, the curtained win- dows and lockers filled with appliances for the relief of the suffering, bespeak a considerate attention for the needs of the invalids and a knowledge of the ad- vances in medical and sanitary science. An unexpeuded appropriation of $1,800 i Ayailaialor enlarging the hospitaland making someneeded improvements, which Dr. McElderry proposes to dispose of to advantage before the close of the fiscal year. The ceremony of post inspection took place several days ago, and included the muster of troops for Kly. It was a pretty sight to witness the entire command drawn up in line on the parade ground in full dress, the yellow-plumed helmets of the cavalry relieving the more sombre and solid front of Captain Coates’ little company of infantry, and every rifle and carbine glistened in its scrupulous polish, Inspection includess an examina- tion of the arms and accoutrements of each soldier by the commanding officer, who passes down the line accompanicd by his staff, and notes the individual ap- pearance of the men; and a tour of each of the quarters, an examination of the bakery, the hospital, the ordnance, com- missary and the quartermaster buildings. As the men are drawn up in_companies the muster rolls are read by the compan: commander and the name of encf; soldier called. In this manner the com- manding officer is enabled to verify the rolls on which the men draw their pay and certify to their correctness. Two days later the arrival of Paymaste wer, accompanied by his clork, Mr. A. H. Butler, occasions the usual flurry in the quarters, Pay day comes once in two months in the army and the coming of the paymaster is naturally looked for- ward to with anxious expectation, “‘Pay. ing off”" took place im the orderly room of Cn):h n Hamilton's quarters and from 10 o'clock until nearly noon the com- panies filed in man by man, while their names and the amounts due were read off by the clerk, certifid to on duplicate rolls by the company commander and the cash handed over with mathematical pre- cision and great rapidity by the paymaster. That the days follow- g puy day b Robincon were marked_by the usual quiet and decorum is to the credit of an unusually fine and orderly garvison. We have witnessed say days at other posts which were fol. [owed by a not to ba wondered at license and a full guard house. If the soldiers were paid off weekly or monthly, as they should be, through the quartermasters, the morale of the army would bo greatly improved and discipline at our posts could be maintained with less strain.

Grasp Tstan, Sept. 11, To the Editor of Tur Bik: An editorial of Tun Bak refers to the oft made charge that the G. A. R.1s a political association. Now I have never known or seen anything to justify that charge. But as an humble member of the G. A. R., and without expressing an an opinion in regard to the action of the Postmaster General in the removal of Mr. Vandervoort I enter my protest against any effort now to use the G. A. R. in regard to political appointments to or removals from office. In my judg- ment the resolution passed at Hastings on this sabject was out of place. Very respectfully, Jou THAYER, Homax Broov.—On the purity and vi- tality of the blood depend the vigor and health of the whole system. Disease bf various kinds is often only the sign that nature is trying to remove the disturbin cause, A remedy that gives life nnfi vigor to the blood, eradicates scrofula and other impurities from it, as Hood's Sarsaparilla undoubtedly does, must be the means of preventing many - diseases that would occur without ita use. Sold by dealors e —— IDAHO INDIANS. The Prospects of a Campaign Against the Bamnocks. Ban Francisce Chronicle, There is a prospect that the Indian fighters of the Northwest will have an opportunity of beginning a campaj against the roving bands of Bannocks and Sheepeaters of Idaho. Recent in- formation from Boise City of a meeting between a band of Bunnoc{s and a party of prospectors shows that the pretend- ed friendship for the whites is likely to be breken at any opportune me- ment. A week ago, on Little Camas prairie, a party of Bannocks, who had stolen away from their reservation, en- countered a prospecting party under Henry Bernard, who were proceeding from Little Smoky to Hailey. One of the prospecting party, Charles Whitmore, lost & valuable riding animal and traced it to the Indian encampment in Long Tom valley. The two parties met -ns talked for some time over the return of the horse. The Indians became insolent and threatened the prospectors, and Ber: nard struck a young buck, knocking him down. Instantly the Indians began firing. Bernard wasshot twice, but was not bad- ly disabled, forin returning the fire he sent one of his assailants to the happy hunting grounds by a shot from his Win- chester. The bullet took effect behind the ear and passed through the head. The Indians then retreated to a bluff and continued firing for nearly an hour. Three of their party were wounded and one_killed. Reese, Crawford and Bor nard were the most seriously injured among the prospectors, though several others received quite severe wounds, @Several similar affairs have occurred recently on Big Camas prairie, in one of which four Indians were killed by a party of cow-boys. * For years the Sheepeaters have kept centrol of a large extent of valuable mining country in the Sheep- eater mountains. Several bands of pros- pectors bold enough to enter their terri- tory have never returned. In the winter the Indians come owt on the prairie or ride into the valleys and round up the wandering bunches of cattle. In the spring and summer they have the pros- pectors for victims, ~The Sheepeater mountains are said to be rich in gold, story has been spread by prospectors that there is a mountain of gold in this im- preguable section and that the the In- dians, like the Aztecs, are guarding it for some potent chief long since departed.
