Last week it published a three-column report of an inter-state chicken fight at Council Blufls, and a beautiful 7x10 diagram of the scene of battle. We consider the editor of the ‘Omaha Herald the most versatile jour- nalist in the English language,” Tur result of the democratic tariff caucus cannot be very comforting to the democrats. The adoption of the Morri- son resolution providing that the wuys and means bill to reduce war taxes shall Do considered in committee of the whole virtually means the postponement of the tariff question until after the settlement of the presidential issue. This action gives the republicans and disaffected democrats an opportunity to filibuster and delay final action on the bill. It is evidently going to be a difficult matter to get the two factions of the democracy to unite on the tariff question, Twe present congress has earned the title of *‘the do-nothing congress.” Al- though it has been in session four months it has passed no important bill, The tariff, American shipping, finances, bankruptoy, and other important ques- tions are as yet either unsettled or en- tirely untouched. Such matters as in- vestigating democratic outrages in the wouth, the star-route prosecutions, the Keifer-Boynton row, the Hewitt-0'Don- nell resolution, and Ochiltree’s Lasker rosolution seem to have ocrupied pretty much all of the time of this congress. It has not yet really begun to handle the ameasures that are of real importance to the people. Serixg has come. It brings with it the cheering sunshine that gives to the laboring men and the poor renewed en- ergy and bright prospects of better days, after a long and severe winter. Expenses of living are reduced, and plenty of work ir in sight. Nearly a million of dollars are to be spent iz pub- lic improvements in Omaha this season, and a large portion of this money will go into the pockets of laboring men and ‘me- chanics, In addition to this we believe that over $2,000,000 will be expended in ‘busineas buildings and private residences.

Certain malcontents and schemers are now trying to induce the republicans to nominate a strictly partizan school board on the plea that the Sixth have a memboer in the board. This would affect the main object of the present ed- ucational system. Our board of educa tion is elected from the city at large for the purpose of getting the best men no matter whore they live. They are elected for three yoars, and there is no provision ward must that requires them to reside in any par- ticular location, The board cannot be patial to ward interests. Its business is to provide school houses and educational facilities where most needed. The Sixth ward might as well insist on having the high school. The real object of these schemers who are agitating this ward representation is simply to got men in the board who will help displace Super- intendent James, and make an opening for a political schoolmaster who is out of meat, @ onxJay Crsco, who died in New York on Sunday, was appointed United States assistant treasurer and placed in charge of the sub-treasury in New York in 1852 by President Picrce. He remained in this position through the administrations of Pierco and Buchanan, and when Mr, Lincoln was olected president Mr. Cisc who was a democrat, tendered his resig- nation as assistant treasurer, but at the earnest request of the president he con- sented to continue in the office for a time. The government was then serious- ly in need of money to prosecute the war againat the secoding states, and the first loan was placed on the market. There was & good deal of hesitation displayed about taking the bonds, and the large banks of New York held back from in vesting in them. Mr. Cisco called a meeting of the officers of the leading banks, and by his arguments succeeded in inducing them te take the loan, and after the first issue the confidence in the government became so groat that but little trouble was experienced in future negotiations. President Lincoln held sc high an opinion of Mr. Cisco’s finan ability and integrity that when the Union Pacific railroad bill was passed in 1862, he insisted, before signing it, that Mr. Cisco shoula be made treasurer of the or- ganization, and ho assumed that position under the late Gen. John A, Dix as pre- sident. “Twr. fast mail is not appreciated nearly as much as was expected. In St. Paul the niail from Chicago is delivered at an hour too late in the evening to bo cf any practical benefit, and ths business men do not hesitate to pronounce it, as at present conducted, “‘a delusion and a snare,”” Asit isin St. Paul, so it is in Omaha, The fast mail is not received at thoe postoflice until sometime betweon 8 and 10 o'clock in the evening, and it is not distributed until 8 o'clock the next morning, thus beating the regular mail only about three hoars. So far the only institutions benefitted by the fast mail are the Chicago morning papers. If we have a west-bound fast mail, why should we not have an east-bound fast mail? It is & very poor system that won't work both ways. St. Louis has no fast mail and is just aswell off without it, but never- theless she can't help growling at the partiality shown towards Chicago. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: ‘‘The fast mail must go. By which we mean to say that the fast mail must go from St. Louis or quit going from Chicago.’ We suppose that this will settle it. Tue lowa legislature has been very liberal in its appropriaticns. It has ap- propriated $40,000 for a building at Towa City college for scientific purpove; $200,- 000 for a new insane hospital at Clarinda, and there are now pending bills to ap- propriate $40,000 for a new addition to the deaf mute institute at Council Blufts; and §560,000 for a soldiers’ home in west- orn Towa. Besides this several new offices have been created, among them being a state veterinary surgeon. lowa is out of debt and she can afiord to be liberal with her public institutions. Mus. LoaaN is a long-headed politician, She is not as contident of her husband’s nomtnation to the presidency as John A. Logan is, so she has very wisely planned for the re-election of her husband to the senate next year, by putting his formida- ble rival, Dick Oglesby, into the guber- natorial chair. Mrs. Logan will have to provide also for Green B. Raum, who has his eye on Logan’s senatorial shoes. We don't wonder that Lieutenant Governor Hamilton, of Illinois, has been beaten *‘foot, horse and dragoons” by Dick Oglesby in the race for the gover- norship. A man who boasts that ho never scratched a republican ballot is a self-confessed idiot. No sensible man could vote for every candidate, from constable to governor, for twenty-four yoars just because he has secured the party nomination. A coouxess has lately sprung up be- tween the two life-long leaders of the democratic party in Nebraska. It is liable to lose the state for the democracy in the electoral college.

For once the democracy of this city has done a sensible thing by nominating Messra. Connoyer, Long and Points for of the board of education, thus taking the schools out of politics. The republicans should follow the ex- members ample of the democrats and make the election unanimous, Dr, Grorce L.

Tt is a foregone conclusion with him that the democrats will not elect the next president. Tue Bk is an influential paper, and it foels slighted by President Arthur's ac- tion in ignoring its suggestion that Gen- oral John M.

President Arthur Recommends Ap- propriations for Three New Crui- sers and Four Gunboat and o Fini ur Double-Tur- retted Monitors, Wasninaron, March 26,—The presi- dent to-day sent to congress the follow- ing message, recommending appropriat- tions for the construction of navy vessels: “‘In my annual message I impressed upon congress the necessity of continued pro- gress in the reconstruction of the navy. I now deem it my duty to advise that an appropriation be made at the present session toward designing and commencing the construction of at least three additional steel cruisers and the four gunboats recommended by the secre- tary of the na-y, the cost of which, in- cluding the armanent, will not exceed $4,283,000, of which one half should be appropriated for the next fiscal year. The Chicago, the Boston, the Atlantic, and the Dolphin have been designed and are being built with care and skill, and thore is every reason to believe thoso will prove creditable and serviceable modern cruisers. “I am unwilling to see the gradual reconstruction of our navy cruisers, now happily begun in conformity with mod- ern requirements, delayed one full year for any unsubstantial reasons, What- ever conditions congress may see fit to 1mpose in order to secure judigious de- signs and honest economical ~onstruction, will be acceptable to me; but to relin- quish or postpone_the policy already de- liberaetly declared will be, in my judg- ment, an act of national imprudence. Appropriations should also be made with- out delay for finishing the four double turreted monitors—the Puritan, the Am- phitrite, the Terror and the Monadnock —and for securing their armament and thatof the Miamitomah. The totalamount appropriated to this time for the four, 6,541, A sum not esceeding £3,838,769, including 866,725 for four powerful rifled cannon and for the re- mainder of the ordnance outfit, will com- pletely equip them for service. Of the sum required, only §2,000,000 need be appropriated for the fiscal year.” An early consideration of the report is rocommended, together with such action as will enable the governuent to con- struct its ordnance upon its own terri- tory, and 80 to provide the armaments demanded by considerations which con- cern the national safety and honor, —— GEN., SHERMAN. Would He Accept a Democratic Nomination?' Waehington Special, The Sunday Herald of this city pub- lishos the following pieco of political ‘gos- sip: ““There is some curious news afloat in very quiet circles concerning Genoral Shernan and his views about politics, A general officer, not stationed in Washing- ton, lately read to another gentleman a letter he had received from General Sherman, in which the latter spoke cold- ly of the republican party, saying he had no love for it, and giving his reasons, This general is one who has always had Sherman’s confidence. After reading the letter he said: **You know it has been assorted that General Sherman would not accept a nomination for the presdency. Un- doubtedly he would refuse to bo the re- publican candidata, but he would not de- cline the nomination if offered him by the demoarats.’ **Outside the immediate entourage of the late general of the army it has always been supposod that, while keeping eut of politics, his sympathies were with the republicans, This impression doubéless arose from the fact that he was Geaats intimate, the brother of Senator Sher- man, and the companion of General Van Vliet, whose radicalism is undoubted, Coming as it does from a general ofticer whose name, if it could be used, would carry much weight, the assestion that General Sherman would accept the demo- cratio nomination is curious if not signiti- cant, Can it be that the Bero of the mareh through Goorgia would really con. sent to be the demooratic candidate for president?” y The editor of The Herald is a staxuch democrat. e — A Sick Oana ' Orrawa, March 26 —Sir John A, Mc. Lonald is reparted seriously ill, —— WEST OF THE MISSOURL. Tho report of the United States Dep- uty Surveyor Fairfield concerning the unlawful fencing of the public land in Northwestern Nebraska has been ont- lined in the dispatches from Washington. | This is the first attempt of the govern- | ment to secure the exact location of the fences and the amount of land enclosed. For the last five years the cattle barons | of the northwest have been building fences around vast areas of public land usually the very best to be had, and cov- | ering one or more water courses in each range. Like novices in housebreakiog, their fencing operations were at first lim- | ited in extent, but as their herds grew numerous and fat, they became bolder and defiant. The decision of the supreme court of Wyoming was the first set back they roceived, and for a time it was hoped | it would be effective in leveling the fences | of the territory. It did not so prove. The barons appealed, and threatened ter- rible results if the decision should stand as at first delivered. The power and prossure was 8o great that the opinion av recorded wns but the skeleton of the ori- ginal. In this state the United States district attorney has entered suit against the fence trespassers to compel them to re- move. 1t will dountless slumber on the court docket for a year or two, postpone- ments will follow as usual, and years may be wasted in strugele which will end in nothing. The vass tide of farmers and stockmen at present moving oward the north and wostern portions of the state will soon settle the fence (uestion withous the in- tervention of overnmental red tape. The cowboys ani their masters may threaten and profane to their heart’s content; some blood may be spilt, followed by a fow lynchings, but the fences on govern- ment land will go down before the end of tho present year and the Cvsars who have grown corpulent on the nation’s domain, will be forced either to secure a title or move on. Westward the star of empire moves with resistless force and the baronial squatters might as well butt their heads against a stone wall as try to stem the torrent with a barb-wire fence. Incalculable damage has already been done by these cattle highwaymen. Depu- ty Fairfield says the whole country traversed by him has been denuded of timber. 'There are acres after acres of bare stumps which a short time ago were growing timber. Thousands of logs wero cut last summer and hauled to accessible points where they were used for fences, corrals and other purposes. The crowding of the agricultural elo- ment upon the cattlo ranges of Nebraska suggests the importance of preventing fraudulent land entries. It is stated that cattlemen who have squatted on the cream of the land wi'l make desperate ef- forts to maintain their grip at any hazard. The plan on which many are already working is to homestead as many quarter sections as there are employes. The em- ployes are induced by an increase of sala- ry to contract to enter 160 acres, perform the work required by law, aud at the end of the homestead period secure patents and turn them over to the employer. This is a very feasible plan and will doubtless be practiced by every dishonest and un- scrupulous ranchman. It is of the great- est importance to the people of the state that honest men be put in the land of- fices, and thus prevent as much as possi- ble the consummation ot the frauds here cited. The spring freshet of railroad rumors is out of banks, The southwest seems to be the most fertile field for prospective roads. The town of Red €loud, fearing the effect of the Oxford Cut-Off, is push- ing the Kansas.scheme to build south- west. Interested towns. in Kansas are also taking bold, and with a united effort it is probable substantial results will ensue. Clay and. Suckolls counties are considerably excited over railroad prospects. The towns. of Superior and Nelson put the question of aid to a vote on the 22d, but the result has not yet yeached us. Fairfield has sent & railroad committee to Chicago to cousult with the ., B. & Q. oflicials in regard to the sur- vey recently made there, Tho B, & M. company have purchased eighty acres of land at Nelson and will ab onco lay it out into town lots for onlarging the town. The feoling there is that the M. P. ex- tension will come on.this account and a north and south line is yet hoped for. Tho country is_settling up almost unrea- sonably fast in consequence of these prospects and this will make it a still stronger inducement for the railroads to build through the two counties. The Hastings Gazette-Journal thinks the farmers of Adams county will soon set up & howl compaved with which the racket of ancient Rome would be a side show to the circus. ‘“The first cause will be the cutting up of farms for the right of way for the B. & M. extension from Hastiogs to Aurora. The mnext will be from those farmers on the line from, Stromsburg to that city. Then thero | will be music in the air of the south part: of the county on account of the road: from Dewitt to Holdridge, Next comes the extension of the central branch through Nuckolls county, and_entering Haetings from the southeast. Then the farmers in Cottonwood township will| have cause to protest against the exten- eon of the Stomsburg line through that neck o' woods on its was to unita with the K. P, road at La Junta, in Colorado serritory.” Preliminary work has been commensed on the Cheyenne, Black Hills and Mon- tana rai'zoad at Cheyenne. Next to the completion. of the Union Packic this work is the most important to the city axd ter- ritory. 1t imsures the ear'y opeming of vast and alwwost untouched mineral re- gions, besides striking into she very heaxt of the grazing coustry, A branch wilk also be built to the Black Hills, and may possibly reach thut now isolated trict before either of the eastern roads. This road will also connect with the Bur- ¥ogton on the sowth, giving Cheyenne another air line to Denver. The spring certainly cpers avspiciously for the magic city, and a season of great pruperity is assured, Tur Bee bas staked its reputation as & prophet on tho statement that the Cour | {d'Alene region is a good country to keep away from. From a mass of reports and letters from correspondents only one, mittee, according to ¢he discipline, conclusion can bs reached—that it is a humbug of the first water. A barrel of whisky or afew shanties will turn more money in a day than the best claim in the district. Flour is 30 cents a pound, board 842 a week and small cabins rent for 8150 a month. Speculators and sa. loons are coining money, while the thou- sands of early birds are already fleeced and featherless, and unable to get away. There are over 3,000 fortune hunters there already, and it is estimated as many more have returned to civilization, Eagle City is a collection of 200 log huts and as many tents, with snow three to five feet deep on thelevel. Town lots in Eagle City are selling from 81,500 to £5,000, according to location. These high prices do not seem to affect build- ing, as many cabins wre in course of truction. There are at present but hree stores in Eagle City, twenty-five saloons, six lodging houses, tents, where $1 per night is charged for a bunk, the lodger to. furnish his own blankets. There are three restau- rants where a meal consisting of salt pork and beans or beef and beans, costs $1. Two oggs added to the menu makes an additional cost of 50 cents, as eggs are quoted at £2 per dozen. Bacon is retailed at 30 cents per pound and flour at the rate of 40 per barrel. Fifty dollars per month rent is charged for ground on which to erect a 14x20 tent. Murrays ville, five miles from Eagle City, hasonly four houses and plenty of room i which to grow. Raven City, five miles further up, is the same size and with about the same prospects. So thoroughly has the Cowur d’Alene country been advertised and exaggerated by the railroads ana interested parties, throughout the country, that it 1s be- lieved 50,000 people will have visited the district by the 1st of August. How many will remain will depend entirely on the walking. It is believed not less than one hundred persons have perished in snow slides in the mountains of Colorado this winter. The severity of the winter and the un- paralelled suow fall has imperillod hun- dred of exposed camps. Many towns have been completely shut in_from the outside world for months, and in some instances supplies run 8o low that a_meal and a half a day was luxurious living.

The Inter-Mountain says more silver has been shipped from the city since the first of January than any dis- trict on record, and goes on to say: It may be estimated that the silver produc- tion of Butte this year will be fully $5;- 000,000, for beside the vast amount of that metal shipped as fine bars it must be remembered that the silver valuation of the matte product of the smelters is very considerable.. The matte turned out by the Colorado company assays in silver from $600 to $1,500:per ton. The Colusa matte is very rich in silver, of which the company probably shipped half a million dollars last year, and it is reliably stated thar. the Parrot produced last year over $100,000 in silver. Besides tho silver as- sociated with the smelter mattes it should bo remembered that the crude ore ship ments are also largely increased in. value by reason of the silver the ore contains. The future for the silver interest of Butte is full of hope. Bvery mine in the camp which is being worked with any degree of energy is- looking well. The Lexington will soon:be opened at a depth. of 650 feet to which: point the shaft is now being sunk.

Nebraska City is still losing her poou- lation, as she has been doing all winter, i. e., not by them moving away, but by a peculiar combination that little Cupid fixes up by which two persons become one. Messrs, Shellenbarger & Lusk, of the West End livery stables, have purchased all the paraphernalia of the Nebraska City Transfer company, and will hereaf- tor run all 'busses and baggage wagons. They have also purchased a 'bus from Red Oak. L. Levi purchased, a few days ago, the first landau which ever came to Nebraska City. It cost nearly $1,200 and is a aisy in every respect. One of our Main street merchants re- ceived a brand new boy at his house a few nights ago.
