ROSEWATER, Editor. A. H. Fitdh, Manager Deily Circulation, P’. 0. Box 488, Omaha, Neb. Tue early bird may catch the worm, but the early presidential boom is wot likely to catch on. Taexr was & howl all over the houso yesterday when Tucker excitedly de- clared Hiscock out of order. Very nat- urally there was a scone. Sexaror HurrisoN, of Indiana, has imtroduced a bill for the admission of Dakota. That bill will probably never get beyond the committee room, Sioxey Diniox enjoyed trip over the Omaha belt line, and has opdered that it be pushed another inch or two during the coming season. Huavave twisted the tail of the Amer- ican hog, Bismarck is now anxious to twist the tail of the American eagle. He may find the eagle not quite so docile a bird as the hog. Tue baokbone of winter seems to be badly sprained. if not effectually broken. —{O{Wehnd Leader, ‘We don't quite agree with you on poiat. Out way the spinal column of winter is yet in pretty good condition, — 8rrIxG is near at hand, but the senate committee is still helding the resolutions passed by the house declaring the Texas Pacific land grant forfeited. Perhaps they are waiting tc hear from some of Hup n's chambers of commerce and b 8 of trade down in Texas Tae investigation of the department of Jjustice expenditures in the star-route prosecutions promises to last twomonths, beginning on March 3d. The probability is that the investigation will last longer than the star-route trials, and that the expeditures will be much greater. A committee to investigate this committee will then be in orde: Tk chairman of the republican con- gressional committee of the Kirst dis- trict has issued his call for the meeting of the committee on March 3, with a view of nominating two delegates to the national convention, We presume that the action of the committee will depend very much on the course pursued by the state contral committee, which meets in Omaha next week. ——— Tar victim of the latest lynching in Oolorado was a quack doctor, who killed one of his patients with one of his pre- scriptions. To preveat further killings by the quack, the friends of the deceased gave him a fatal dose of hemp, This is about the best way to dispose of the quacks, althouzh it would keep a vigi- lance committee preity busy to hang them all. Tt is hoped that the example of Colorado will become universal. Tue Northern Pasific is doing sofhe good work in getting the chambers of commerce from Tacoms, Washington ter- ritory, to 8t. Paul ‘and Minneppolis to pass resolutions opposing the forfeiture of land grants to that road. Chambers of commerce are being organized in every one-horse town in the Northern Pacific country for the purpose of passing such resolutions, and the same plan will soon be carried out on other roads that have forfeited their land grants, — Axoruer illionaire stockman, John W. Powers, of Las Animas, Colorado, died a few days ago, and like 1liff, the cattle king, he leaves a widow to mourn his untimely death. It happens, how- jever, that the widow has ten children, . a'though she is only thirty-five years old. If there are any more bishops down in Georgia or Alabama, or any othor south- orn state, who have an attachmant for cattle quesnr, here's a splendid oppor- tunity. Jay Gourp and his partners are pur- saing the same methods of evading taxa. tion in the city of New York as they have with their railroads in the west. Ever since 1878 the elevated railrosds have pursued a policy of tax-shirking and successfully to defy the collection of xes. According to the New York Zer- these elevated roads owe taxes to ~amount of $2,51,721.78, without u ~any interest on the unpaid This total was distributed among New York SOLVING THE MORMON PROBLEM. The Mormon question is generally re- garded as one of the most difficult prob- loms ever presented to congross for sclu- tion. Stringent bills have been intro- the suppr reforence to polygamy proved inefficient. boen, whenevar any trial disfranchise a failure, ppointed to polygamists investigate see that the laws were enforced, congressional legislation. ergy worthy of a better cause. ments in their own defense. and time again, but so far nearly every mode of procedure has been through log- islation againat polygamy, and which has had no material effect in accomplish- ing the desired result. Some of the ablest thinkers of this country, who have Yeen giving this subject much thought and study, are at last beginning to advo- cate, s the true solution of the Mormon problem, the division of Utah into sec- tions, to be snnexed to the adjoining states and territories—Colorado, Wyo- ming, Idaho, Nevada. Arizona and New Mexico. In other words, that Idaho shall no longer existas a torritory, and thatit shall be erased from the map of the Unitea States. That congress has the power to do this with Utah or any other territory there is no question. The ad- vocates of this method of procedure be- lieve that polygamy will never cease until the government of the people is taken away from the polygamists, and the laws are enforced by courts and officers who have nothing in common with polygamy. This whole question will probably be brought up in connection with a proposi- tion vo create a new territory out of the eastern part of Washington Territory and the northern section of Idaho, It is eati- mated that from 60,000 to 100,000 peo- ple from all parts of the country, at- tracted by the Coeur d’Alene mines, will settle in eastern Washington Territory and northern Idabo during the next twelve months, and this anticipated im- migration has given rise to the proposi- tion to create a new territory. If it should be determined to wipe Utah out of existence as a torritory, it is more than likely that the new Coeur d’Alene territory can be created without cutting down the dimensions of Idaho, as a por- tion of Utah could be added to southern Idaho, Nevada has only a popnlation of sixty thousand, and if that section of Utah containing Ogden and Salt Lake city should be annexed to Nevada, that state would even then have a less popu. lation than she should have to entitle her to s member of congress. The plan of cutting Ublllv up and joining the various divisions to the contiguous states and ter- ritories ] practical one, and we believe it will eventually be adopted. 1t would put an end to the ruling power of the Mormons, and their power once taken awsiefrom them, the question of polyg- amy would settle itself, Tuw bill recently introduced by Sena- tor Voorhees to protect innocent pur- chasers of patented articles is an impor- tant one to farmers, who are so trequent. ly made the victims of patent-right sharps. Senator Voorhees' bill provides that it shall be a valid defense to any action for an infringement of any patent, or any suit or proceeding to enjoin any person from the use of a patented article that the defendant therein, or his as- signor, purchased the patented articles for use or consumption, and not for sale or exchange, in good faith and in the usual course of trade, without notice that the same was covered by a patent, or without notice that the seller had no right to sell such article; and in all such cases notice received after such purchase shall not have the effect to impair in any way the right of such purchaser as abso- lute owner. The object of the bill more directly is to protect the purchasers of the barbed-wire fence and the driven well, The owners of these patente, it is charged, have exacted royalty from inno- cent purchasers, and hundreds of farmers have acceded to such exactions rather than worry over a lawsuit. — Tue Omaha board of trade, by request, has voted its concurrence with the San Francisco chamber of commerce mem- oral to congress asking a prompt and large increase in the naval forces. We have no doubt that congress will now pay some attention to the memorial, as the Omaha board of trade is such an infliaen. tial body. 1f we could get double-decked, steel-turreted monitors on Cut-off lake, and a naval observatory at Fort Omaba, the city of Omahs would assume & naval appearance commensurate with her im- duced from time to time having in view n of polygamy, but as yet all the laws that have been passed with in Utah have Polygamy has been made a felony, but the difficulty has has been at- tompted, to secure evidence, and owing to this deflciency the polygamous Mor- mons have evaded punishment at the hands of the law. The attempt also to has proved Cemmissioners have been affairs in Utah, to regulate the elections, and to and to make recommendations on which to base The work of the commissioners, however, does not seem 80 far to have been very effective. Throughout the entire crusade against polygamy the Mormons have maintained a bold and determined front, and have fought every measure with a vigorous en- Their zeal weuld indicate that they are honest in their religious belief and doctrines,one of the principal elements of whick is po- lygamy. They maintain that they are being persecuted on account of their re- ligion, and present some plausible argu- Various methods of solving the Mor- mon problem have been presented time — men who have no business there what- ever. It will make the board an organi- ration of strictly first-class business men, and that is what is wanted in such a body. It will also place at the command of the board abundant means tomaintain its organization in a respectable manner. As it is now, a lot of wind-bags and boats, who raise tne small sum of ten dollars, foist themselves on the hoard and become members, and whenever there is anything to be done which re- quires money the secretary has to pass his hat around. THE NEW BRIDGE. The transfer across the Missouri be- tween Omaha and Council Bluffs has for years been and is now an obstruction to travel and traffic. The original bridge charter contemplated the construction of a railroad and wagon bridge, with accom- modations forfoot passengers. Notonly did congress expressly grant authority to the bridge company tu operate such a wagon bridge, but a bill drafted by Hon. A. J. Poppleson, general attorney for the Unien Pacific, was passed by the legisla- ture of this state, authorizing the com- pany to collect tolls from vehicles and passengers over said wagon bridge be- tween Omaha and Council Bluffs. The greedy and grasping capitalists and job- bers, who have from time to timegambled in and controlled;the Union Pacific, have not seen fit to carry out their charter ob- ligations in the matter of bridge accom- modations any more than they have in Aheir obligations to pay interests on their bonds. They built a railroad bridge at a cost of ‘about $1,200,000 and mortgaged it for $2,500,000. They converted the bridge into a high- wayman's toll-gate where everybody was mercilessly robbed, and the patrons were subjected toinconveniencesand delaysthat would not be tolerated anywhere else in America. For years the people of Omaha and Council Bluffs have tolerated this im- position because they could not help themselves. Gradually a sentiment grew strong on both sides of the river that we must have competition and better accom- modations for the constantly growing in- tercoursc between Omaha and Council Bluffs. Conferences were held between leading business men of these cities, and finally a general understanding was ar- rived at that a new bridge should be built. When congress met in December bills were introduced in both houses granting a charter for the construction of @ bridge across the Missouri within the limits of this county, Other bills grant- ing charters for bridges across the Missouri at Rulo and Decatur, are also pending, According to usage these bills wore referred to the war department, which controls the improvements of the navigation of inland rivers through the engineer corps. The secretary of war referred the bills to General Wright and he in turn referred them to Major Suter, engineer in charge of the Mi pi and Missouri river improvements with head- quarters at St. Louis. After an unusual delay Major Suter finally returned the bills to the war department with recom- mendations that show upon their face that Major Suter is a good deal more anxious to obstruct than he is to facilitate competition in the transportation routes. He lays great stress upon the obatructions which the bridging-of the Missouri offers to naviga- tion, and dwells at great length upon the necessity of a new departure in the con- struction of Missouri river bridges. While the bridge atSt. Joseph has a draw of only 160 feet and bridges be- low that point have spans of only 150 feet, Major Sater insists that the span for the proposed bridge at Rulo should be not less than 200 feet, and at Omaha 300 feet. In other words Major Suter proposes that at Omaha, 176 miles above Rulo, the span shall be double the length of what it is at St. Joseph, 100 miles below Rulo. It is a question whether there is another drawbridge on the Mississippi orany of its tributaries with a 300 feet span, Major Suter pretends to make this demand in the interest of navigation, when in fact it is made in the interest of the Union Pacific bridge menopoly. Major Suter knows that the Missouri at this point is closed for navigation for more than eight months in the year, and all the improvements that can be made in his life time will not induce traffic enough during thc navigable sea- son to afford business sufficient for three boats a month, But even if the river was us navigable here a4 it is at Kansas City or Jefferson City, it is simply an imposition to require the span to be more than 200 feet, which even Major SButer thinks is enough at Rulo. There is no doubt that the congressional committees will discard Major Suter's advice, but he has shown the cloven hoof in this matter so plainiy that it may be- come necessary for our delegation in con- vress to demand an investigation into his conduct. That the Union Pacific and its satellites will continue to do everything in their power to defeat the bridge char- ter is solf-evident. —— Tuk readjustment of the election ma- chinery of Virginia seems to have de- stroyed Mahone's last hope of regaining control of that state. A bill has been passed over the governor's veto which takes from the county judges the power of appointing election officers and gives it to local boards which are to be selected by the legislature. There is no require- ment that the local boards shall select the officers from both political parties, so that the election will in all probability be entirely within the supervision of democrats, The law goes into effect on April 1st, and the presidential election this year will therefore be held under it. Mahoue's entire system, which in many Tespects was scarcely less partissn than this, has been abolished, aud with it has Rone all chance for him and his party to make a formidable show in the election. The state is probably msre completely in the power of the democrats than it was before Mahono appeared as a leader. His methods, instead of liberalizing public sentiment, have furnished seeming justi- fication for the most extreme bourbon hatred of republican influences, and have thus made it easier than ever to enact laws which will perpetuate bourbon con- trol. The New York 7’08 says that the situation in the state is about as bad as it ean be, and the only pleasant feature of will be apared the spectacle of Mahone appearing at their national convention with the electoral vote of Virginia, and offering it for sale to the highest bidder. A ate dispatch from Bismarck says that the reports of starving Indians at Poplar river agency are not exaggerated. There are seven thousand Indians, who have nothing left but a little flour. All the game haas disappeared, and their Gogs and ponies have al! been eaten, and in sixty days without relief all must starve to death. The dispatch says that *‘foars of a massacro of agents and post-traders are expressed.’”” It is too bad that **fears” are expressed for agents and traders, many of whom are responsible for the mistreatment of Indians and ought to be massacred on general principles.
