The bids for this property are in- vited through an obscure paper,which has no established circulation. — Tue Belt line took a rest on Sunday, and General Hanlon was given an oppor- tunity to attenddivineservices and listen to a sermon which had for its text: *‘Six days shalt thou take a rest, and on the seventh shalt thou plant frogs on the railroad crossin RoskwATER abuses Roberts because the Republican praises him—he praiscs the president’s message because the 2e- publican criticises it, etc., ete.— Repub- tivan. The president’s message was published in both papers on the same morning. The FRepublican has never favored us with advance copy of its editorials and Rosewater has never been gifted with second sight. We disclaim that Roberts has been abused. We have simply ex- pressed sympathy for the people of Idaho in their affliction and warned them to be- ware of a notorious daead beat and disre- putable jobber. PENNsYLVANIA has had all the legisla- ture she wants for several years to come. The salary grab of her law makers, at the rate of §10 a day for each member, amounts to $457,414 for the six months special session which has recently closed. The fellow who sent out circulars stating that forfifty centshe would infermanybody how to make money without work, knew what he was talking about, when ke la- conically replied to his numerous vic. tims, ‘‘Giet elected to the Pennsylvania legislature.” Any attempt to prosecute him for obtaining money under falso pretenses would undoubtly prove a fail- ure, THE winter 8o far has been a phenome- nally mild one, and the weather prophets are entirely at a loss to account for it. Various theories have been advanced,but none of them are at all satisfactory, In connection with this mild weather, the lurid eveningfiglow in the western sky, which continues with undimmed bril- liancy, and whieh is an inexplicable phenomenon. This weather may be ap- preciated by the poor man on account of the reduction in coal bills, but as it is un- seasonable it is the cause of more than nsual sickness among all classes, and has a bad effect upon trade all over the country. S1ANDARD time is not proving as popu- lar as was oxpected. People fail to see the improvement over the local standard of solar time. Railways may run on the new tune, but there will always be more or less inconvenience to the people aris- ing from it. «Columbus and Cleveland propose to return to the old system of local time, and Louisvilie will probably do the same thing. Cincinnati and Chi- cago have not adopted the new standard time, and/have no intention of doing so. Omaha sticks tolocal time, and has no idea of changing. Itis an indisputable fact that the only true time at any par- ticular point is solar time. Railroads may find it advantageous to run by the new standard time, but cities and com- munities will not be governed in their local affairs by railroad time unless it happens to agree with the local time. In Omaha the standard time is twenty-three minutes fasterthan local time. Only two of the Nebraska railroads, the Missouri Pacific and the Chicago, Minneapolis, St Paul & Omaha, have adopted the stand- ard time. Unloss all the railroads adopt the new system of xeckoning time the so-called eform will prove a failure, evon on the rail We understand that there isa scheme on foot to build a new high schocl and hibrary building in the near future at some central point west of Twenty-fifth street, on Capitol hill, with a view of de- voting all the oom in the present high school to the lower grades, scheme is ever brought before our eiti- zens in the shape of a proposition to vote bonds, it will be overwhelmingly defeated, The city of Omaha has ex- jpended a small fortune in constructing one of the finest high school buildings in America. As a matter of necessity the high school building has been used as & common school for a number of years, to sgcommodate the children of the cen- tral district of the city, The high school proper has occupied but & very small por- tion of dhe building. If any relief from overcrowding is designed by the bomd of education, it should be through the con- stouction of additional common school buildings. At is bad enough for a thou- sand children ¢o be crowded into thehigh schoo! building, and that a large number of these children, under ten years of age, should climb the bill and then climb sev- eral flights -of stairs o the rooms in the higher stories, is a cordition of affairs that ought to: be changed fi) some way for the better, 0 | made If such a THE POSTAL PELEGRAPH, The bill introduced in the senate by Mr. Hill, of Colorado, to establish a postal telegraph is in every rospect the most practical proposition since the first postal telegraph bill was introduced by Congressman Washburn, in 1870. Mr. Hill very properly takes it for granted that a complete system of postal tele- % | graphy will require the purchase of all or neatly all the existing telegraph lines. The change be weeks, or contemplated cannot within a few even months, but will necessarily take several years, Mr, Hill proposes that on and aftor July lst, 1887, transmitted by telegraph telephone, or other device, from all postoflices in the United States that now forward letters by mail. The postmaster general is also authorized to establish telegraph offices where they may be required to facilitate intercourse in the large cities, independ- ent of the postoffice. Proposals are to be published by the postmaster-general to existing telegraph companies to dis- pose of their lines and apparatus to the government. The contracts for the pur- chase are to be submitted to congress for approval, and their consideration to have precedence over all other business except regular appropriation bills, The charge for transmission of messages between all places in the United States is to be one cent per word, counting date, address and signature. Reduced but uniform rates are to be made for the press, and the postmaster-general is to have author- ity to lease wires to newspapers exclu- sively for press dispatches. The full text of the bill, which we print else- where, contains elaborate details, which show that Mr. Hill has devoted a great deal of time to his proposed measure, and doubtless had some experienced telegrapher as his adviser. The detail of this bill is perhaps its most objection- able feature. Mr. Hill attempts to fix inflexible rules and rates that should be left to the discretion of the postmaster- general and the ofticers who will be in charge of the postal telegraph bureau. messages shall be Instead of fixing a uniform single rate between ail points in the United States, it would have been better to fix a max- imum rate for distances varying from 100 to 2,000 miles. There is no doubt that a cent’per word rate between all points in the United States may he pro- fitably *maintained at no distant day, but the postal telegraph could mot be madeself-sustaining with such u low rato for the first three or four years, There are other de- tails in Mr. Hill's scheme that may have to be modified, but on the whole his bill is the first practical effort to bring about the general use of the telegraph and tel- ephone in connection with our postal system. 3 That the Western Union company should oppose Mr. Hill's bill and every other postal telegraph scheme is quite natural, But why the Associated Press should be hostile we cannot comprehend. Whatever contracts the Western Union has made with the Associated Press the government would be compelled to carry out in good faith, The facilities which the Western Union now supplies to the Associated Press would be at its disposal all the same and if it was thought adyisa- ble or economic, wires for its exclusive use, could be leased and operated upon roasonable terms. 1t is true the govern- ment would exact equal tolls for like sex- vice from all its patrons but that would not deprive the Associated I’ressfrom tho advantage it enjoys by reason of co- operative service in the collection and transmission of news. The english pross opposed the postal telograph when it was first broached, but it has long since con- ceded, that the change has been as bene- ficial to newspapers as it hus boen to the people. British postal telegraphy under government contral is a great success. Sinco the purchase by the government the number of offices and lenght of lines in operation have more than doubled. Ten million dollars of interest on the purchase have been paid out of the proceeds, and now the rate for messages, is to be reduced from one shilling to six- pence, and all has been done without any incrense of taxation, The people of England have much less use for the tele- graph than the people of this country. Tho distance between the remotest points of Gireat Britain can be reached by mail within a few hours, and only mat- ters of the utmost importance need to be tolegraphed. Tt takes seven days for a lotter to go from New York to San Fran- isco, and three days from Boston to Gialyeston. Our people are more migra- tory than those of any other country, but up this time they use the telegraph less than any European nation, excepting perhaps Russia and Turkey. The senti- ment in favor of postal telegraphy has been of slow growth, because the public were not well informed upon the subject, and the business had not assumed the magnitude to which it has grown within the last ten yoars, The demand for cheap telegraphy and eflicient service is now widespread, and it is only a matter of very little time when congress will be forced to accede to the popular will, Tux other day the Union Pacific man- agers deoided to force their right of way through premises which had boen leased by & mechanie. They ordered a gang to pull down his fittle house and clear the lot. Xt used to be thata negro had no rights which & white man was bound to respect. Now it is the poor man who who has no nuhu which a monopoly is bound to respect! —_— Tue education of the Indian is pro. grossing slowly, but satisfactorily. The Indian school at Carlisle, Pennsylyania, is quite au 0ld institution, and it is pro- posed to empioy some of its more ad- vanced pupils as teachers in subordinate the new Indian schools at Chilocea, Indian Ter- ritory, and The secretary of the interior favors the pro positions in Genoa, Nebraska, Tawrence, Kansas. position, INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL. REAGAN'S Congressman Reagan, of Texas, pro. poses to push his inter-state bill, which he will introduce in the same shape as it was before the house commerce | committee last winter, Mr. confident that the measure will have a mmerce Reagan i fair consideration at this session of con- gress, inasmuch «s Carlisle, the new spenker, will appoint a fair committee, Mr, Reagan says that his bill is not against the railroads, but simply intended to prevent wrong doing on their part. He recognizes the value of the railroads in the development of the south and west, but that is no reason for permit- ting them to exercise a tyrannical and ar- bitrary power of discrimination. His inter-state commerce measure does not seek to regulate the rate paid for the freight and passenger traflic of the coun- try, but to prevent extortion and make the roads charge a uniform rate to every- one for likeservice. The constitution, he thinks, clearly gives the power to con- gress to regulate inter-state commerce, and that is all the bill proposes to cover. Discriminating rates and treatment when entirely within the states must be left to the states to remedy. The trouble with all state legislation upon the subject in the past has been the insufficient means furnished for the pun- ishment _for violating the laws passed. Mr. Regan's bill provides punishment of a seyere character, and in some cases im- prisonment. 1t further guards against the intimidation of poor people, or those loath to fight corporations, by giving the United States district attorneys power to proceed against roads tion, Mr. Keiftr, the speaker of the last house, packed the commerce committee in about the same manner as Speaker Humphrey packed the railroad committee of the lower house of the Nebraska legisla- ture last winter. Randall was bad enough. He packed the congressional committee with upon informa- nino monopolists against six members who favored the bill. Keifer went still further. He sandwiched Reagan between four- toen railroad cappers, and then the four- toen tried to have Reagan taken off, to make the thing unanimous. Mr. Reagan may be confident now that Carlisle will appointa favorable committee, but unless he makes the committee as unanimous for the measure as Keifer made it against it, the chances are ten to one that the railroads will resort to their old tactics and buy up a majority of the members, READING OUT' OF PARTY. There was a time when to be read out of party by any public man or political journal had as much terror as the Pope's bull of excommunication had during the middle ages. To be read out of party was to be a political outcast with whom no true party man would associate and whom every rank partizan would shun asaleper. In those days every voter was o bigoted partizan, lieved his party never could do wrong, andwho looked upon everybody of op- posite political faith as an enemy. That was during the civil war and the ten years following it, when the republican was the union party, and democrats were copperheads, Times have changed since then, Men no longer believe party to be infallible. A large and most intelligent portion of the people of the United States refuse to obey King Caucus, and reject as heresy the claim that right or wrong the party must be sustained. pap have emancipated themselves from party tyranny and boldly discuss men and measures, according to their true merit. The days of the great “organ”’ which was formerly a political oracle to enunciate the dogmas of party, a champion to sustain party leaders who be- Great news- through thick and thin, and villify and scourge their oppon- ents, have passed away forever, An intelligent public refuses to patronize and support journals that have no higher aim than to be mere party hacks and whips to lash those who dare to kick in the party traces. When the republican majority was 80,000 in this state threats of reading out of the party were freely made, against those who refused to support candidates who secured nominations by packed con- ventions and the corrupt use of railroad patronage and money. Since the majo- rity has come down below 5,000 the threats of reading men out of party are rarely made. Self-styled leaders, who have well nigh nigh wrecked the party, have been brought to their senses. They are actually willing to forgive, if they can’t forget, and general mmnesty has been proclaimed to all those who are willing to renew their allegiance, This must af- ford great relief to the 17,000 anti-mono- poly republicans who have been read out, because the party machinery had fallen into the hands of the railroad monopolies. even The Omaha Republican, which has read nearly every republican out of the party who did not subscribe to its codo of political merals, has of late proclaimed its independence of party al- logiance, 1t has lampooned the republi- can president of the United States, and made scurrilous comments on his mes- sage, and it now justifies its course by pleading its political independence. In fact, it goes further, and intimates that it does not fear Tue Ber's threat of be- ing read out of the party, Now Tuk Brx has never indulged in any such foolish threat against the Republican or auy other paper or politician, The shoe is on the other foot. The reading out of 1t is amusing to note, that | ho party has been the nmu-lmrm the organ | of monopolies Like the flint-lock mus- | ket and the Indian war-club, it is a wea: | pon of the past. Men and papers will henceforth always be justified in exercis- | ing their inalienable right to independ- ent thought and action. Even the | National republicanconvention that nom inated Garfield gates who would rofused to expel dele- pledge themselves | not to support any man nominated by that | convention, before they who the candidate would be. But there is a wide | knew | difference between an honest and sincere | criticism and captious fault-finding and malignant abuse. THE SIOUXN RESERVATION, Congress will be called upon to take | some action towards opening the Sioux | reservation for settlement. The people of Dakota urgently demand it, and are putting forth every effort to secure this desired result at once, so that the reser- vation can be utilized early next spring. There are numerous good reasons why this reservation should no longer remain a forbidden land to white settlers, and the arguments in favor of its being thrown open for settlement are unan- swerable. Tho reservation embraces over forty- eight thousand square miles. It extends northward from the southern boundary of the territory a distance of two hundred and forty miles, and runs westward from the Missouri river two hundred miles. This vast tract of valuable land is held by twenty-four thousand Indians, who occupy and utilize but a very small por- tion of it. 1t is the last body of public land, of any extent, that homesteaders can reap any benefit from, and were it opened for settlement to-morrow it would be all taken up by actual settlers within thirty days, and within two or three years it would be converted into a rich agricultural region, dotted here and there with flourishing towns and villages. At present it is a great ,barrier to the advancement of the Black Hills district, and is an obstruction to the commerce of that rich section. So long as the reser- vation remains closed to civilization no railroads can cross it, and thus the Black Hills and the vast extent of territory be- yond are cut oft from the rest of the coun- try, except by wagons trains and stage coaches. The people of the Black Hills are now paying two and a half cents per pound for freight transportation to and | from the nearest railroad terminus, and their annual freight bills amount to £2,000,000. The Black Hills country, ing 7,000 square miles, is one of st and most wonderful regionsin Tnited States, and its resources have only begun to be developed. When the Sioux reservation is opened railroads will resume building towards the hills, and people in numbers will flock thither. The Chicage, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway will be extended to Deadwood immediately upon the opening of the reserve, the Chicago & North- western will follow, and the Sioux City & Pacific will buildan extension’of ninety miles west from Valentine next year and continue into the hills. It will be seen that the extension of these railroads will develop the northwest very rapidly, and bring into direct communication with the commercial centers of the country, in- cluding Omaha of course, a region rich in mineral resources, in cattle and in agri- cultural possibilities. It is important to the entire northwest that the Sioux res- ervation be opencd. great A treaty with the Sioux Indiaus, pro- viding for the reduction of their reserva- tion for a certain compensation and upon certain conditions, hasbeen prepared and prosented to congress for ratification. The Indians, under the terms of the treaty, are to receive a fair compensa- tion, although it is claimed by some that itis not enough. This, however, is a| matter that can easily be adjusted by congress. So far, the smallness of the compensation is the only argument of any woight whatever that has been presented against the ratification of the treaty.
