WG AL 0 RO NI B | O oRaty, The growing importance of India and Russia in supplying the grain demand of Europe, and the strong competition of these countries for the place which this country has always held in the grain trade, for a serious problem for the fu- ture. In ten years the wheat exports ot o | India have risen from 1,100,000 bushels to 36,000,000 last yoar. The wheat ex- ports of the United States usually amount to 150,000,000 bushels a year. If the production of India, therefore, continues to increase it will only be a fow years before its exports will be as large as ours are now,and we shall be relegated to the fourth or fifth place among the Omaha Ofoe, No. 016 Farnam St. Oouncil Bluffs OfMce, No. 7 Pearl Btreet, Near Broadway.

ROSEWATER, Rditor, A. H. Fitch, Manager Daily Oirculation, P. 0. Box 488 Omaha, Neb. United States, and Russian and Indian futures are being eagerly sought for. The lower cost of these grains gives a wider margin for profit, and there appears no reason to think that anything but the productiveness of these countries will limit the demand for their wheat. It is argued that this disadvantage which the American farmers are soon to Iabor under is due to the high price of Iabor here and the low price of labor in India. To support this view, statistics are printed, showing that farm laborors in India only receive 10 conts a day, and of course it is concluded that itis im- possible for American farmers to compete against such prices as those. If this were a just argument there would be no more to be said, and the case against America would be utteriy hopeless. But the fact is that though the price of labor is 80 low in India, the cost of production is nearly as great as here. So many more men are required to do the same amount of work than are necessary in this country, that though wages aro so low, the total cost is much the same to the farmer. Besides this, the great ad- vantages which the American possesses in the -way of labor-saving machinery compensate what other disproportion in wages may still exist in favor of the Indian. The two, therefore, may be considered as about on a level so far as the real cost of labor is concerned. The real advantage of the Indian grower is to be found in the cost of getting the product to market.: Itis a strange fact that it really costs more to trans- for wheat from Dakota to Liver- pool than it does trom India to Liverpool. High freights—the dividends which shippers must pay often on ficti- tious capital—and the false price which speculation frequently adds to American grain form the great hindrance to the Anerican farmer. It is a hindrance which his foreizn competitors almost en- tirely escape. A fair profit on the mere cost of transportation from grower to consumer is the only tax upon Indian grain, Were American grain as free from burden there would be no reason to fear any competition in the markets of Europe. It is useless to point to the fact that freight rates have diminished in the last few years as an argument that the trouble does not lie here. It costs more now to ship a ton of produce from St. Louis to New York than it does from New York to Copenhagen. As long as such disproportions in charges exist, it is evi- dent that freight rates in this country are exorbitantly large, no matter how much they may have recently decreased. If we are going to compete in the grain trade with India they must be reduced to a point where the Indian farmer will have no advantage over the American, There will be no hope of that until the Rgovernment takes control of the rail- roads. The paying of dividerds on stock that does not exist, and on debts useless- ly or fraudulently incurred will then come to an end, That will be the death of high railroad charges, When the farmers fully understand that the railroads and the monopolies are crowding them out of the markets of the world, momething is going to drop. About that time it will be well to stand from under, Frank Warrens denies that the part- nership of Broatch, Hawes & Walters is dissolved. Waex Pat. O. Hawes returns to the folding room at Washington he will carry his Logan boom with him in his vest pocket. Sexator Manpersox had better recall his man Friday, Pat. O. Hawes, who is making the senator more enemies than frionds by his conduct, Mg, Barrrerr, assistant United States district attorney, who draws a salary for doing nothing, is making himself very numerous as a tale-bearor to the anti- Arthur paper, which purposely misrepre- senta reputable officials who have been minding their own business. Tue republicans of Illinois took the right ground in demanding an immediate revision of the tariff with a reduction of taxation to. the farmer and conkumer. This is an excellent example for the Ne- braska republicans to follow. Undoubt- edly it expresses the ideas of the people. Murper is a cheap amusement in Omaha., The man Key, of Valentine, who was arrested on the charge of shoot- ing and killing James Nugent at the Theatre Comique, has been - released on $3,000 bail. This is, indeed, nominal bail, when it is taken into consideration that the evidence against Key is very strong, AssiSTANT UNITED STATES ATTORNEY BARTLETT never has been of any use to the department of justice, and the de- partment of justice would do justice to Mr. Bartlett, if it would dispense with his services. This community has never taken any stock in Mr. Bartlett and his appeintment to a sinecure position has never received popular approval. Mz. HeNprICKS holds up his hands admiringly over the report of the Iro- quois banquet, and says that no other man in America could have written such a perfect composition as was Mr. Tilden’s letter—*‘so perfect in word and senti- ment.” Mr. Hendricks has evidently never read Tipton s eloquent treatises on Daniel Webster, with which the Herald regales its readers every Sunday morn- ing. TaE republicans and the protectionist democrats who do not relish the feast of words that is prepared on the Morrison bill, are going to try to head off eloquence on the subject by moving to strike out the enacting clause. Another crisis is therefore approaching this fateful meas- ure. If the opponents of the bill succeed in this design about a month of useless talk will bo saved to the house and to the country as well, E——— Tae fencing in of public lands by stock raisers in the territories, which has lately become a wholesale nuisance, has at length gained the ear of congress, and a bill is to be brought in to prevent the abuse. It is high time. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of the finest A grazing lands in Wyoming and Montana have been surrounded with fences by companies that have not the slightest right to them. These poople, who are mostly, it is explained, foregners, ‘enjcy all the profits from the lands without having paid a cent for them, and in this way honest settlers are prevented from securing land which they might otherwise purchase, ONE of the planks 1 the platform adopted by the republican state conven- tion of New Jersey was as follows: Resolved, That we ocongratulate the lo of New Jersoy un the enactment present legislature of a law look- ing toward the proper taxation of the cor- e property, in which legislati - mmmbfinn;nobh%hu:o?& How about the republicans of Nebras. ka? What are they doing to secure a *‘legislative reform” in the direction of ‘equal taxation? Why is it that they have not reason to congratulate themselvas on #0 great @ work for the people! — New Yorxk city is evidently making a effort at moral reform, Billy Mo ~ Glory, the notorious dance house keeper, ~ is serving out a six months wentence ¢ for a violation of the TuE Blair Pilot corrects Tur Ber's atatements regarding the railroad bridge at Blair. Tug Bee obtained its informa- tion from a gentleman whom we had rea- son to believe was correct in his state- ments. The Pilot, however, emphatically asseris that we have been misinformed, and we cheerfully make the correction. The £ilot states that the engineer says he will have the approach completed so that trains can cross the bridge by May 26th, Four pile drivers are now at work, and the trestle work and railing will promptly follow, There is not a particle of water ‘‘running through the gap.” The bar is three feet higher than when the trestle was built last fall, and this ad. vantage to the company is almost equal to the damage to business sustained by the road. Except temporarily, before the boats could be got at work, there has been no ‘‘blow to business on the Bioux City and Pacific in Nebraska,’ The boats are crossing one hundred cars each way daily, and the whole business of the road is conducted promptly and punctually. The trains both ways are as nearly on time as are the trains on the Omaha road, There is no thought of addiug any more spans to the bridge, And finally, the situation will not affect *‘the contemplated exteneion of the line beyond Valentine,” — Tux saloon-keepers from Lincoln have from the start been compelled to comply with the provisions of the Slocumb law, They have invariably paid their $1,000 license in advance, and there has been no trouble fu that city. Why cannot Omaha saloon-keepers be made to do the same thing! Very few of the saloon- Cpppmeme 1 OMAHA DAILY BEE,--MONDAY, APRIL ARG P i b N 1884, keepers, not more than two or three, have paid their £1,000 in advance, and there is no reason why all of them should not do likewise, except for the wrong construction that has been put upon the law. If our city ordinance permits any payments less than $1,000, then that or- dinance is not in accordance with the Slocumb law, and the fault rests with the city council, who should immediately pass an ordinance that will be legal. BLAINE IN PENNSYLVANIA. From the New York Times, April 18th, The Blaine party has more lungs than body was large enough in all conscience, and why the senate should want to tack on more it is hard to see. Perhaps the fine Italian hand of that thrifty person, John Roach, has had something to do with this, Mr. J. Burroox Berrorn has been good enough to announce that as long as o man from New York runs the treasury department there will never be any able management of the nation's finances. Without stopping to lament over this statement. which deserves to be classed as important, if true, it seems certain brains, but if it can stop its delirious hal- looing long enough to steady its mind it might be & good thing for it to read Col McClure's estimate of the value of its achievements at the Harrisburg conven- tion, aa set forth in yestorday's Philadel- phia Zimes: *‘Blaine has practically lost Pennsylvania in 1684, aa he lost it in 1876 and in 1880, The convention did not refuse him instructions,but it did little more, and it left tho Blaine forces with multiplied dsfeats by overwhelming ma- jorities, and with only a trace of substance in the glittering shadows conceded them, while the old-time anti-Blaine men ganed tho pres- tige and the chief substancc in results. It waa simply a game of audacions jugglery with Blaine, and the Blaine banner was unfurled by the machine leaders simply to assure su- premacy and emphasizo their omnipotence hey came in the name of Blaine to bury Blaine, and they do not err in the assumption that they have successfully sproad a funeral feast for Blaine in his native state,” This is the kind of a banquet, we fancy, to which a good many Blaine men have accepted cerdial invitations in this state With all his boasted *‘magnetism” Mr Blaine is unable to control his men when they come within the reach of other in- fluences. He draws better than he holds. The above from the New York Zimes, which is not friendly to Arthur, shows which way the wind blows. It wasgiven out that Blaine had carried Pennsylvania solid, but now it is conceded that Arthur will have from 20 to 24 votes in the Pennsylvania delegation. What is true of Pennsylvania is equally true of New Jersey. Ostensibly the delegation head- ed by Senator Sewell is for Blaine, but in reality more than half of the New Jer- sy delegation will cast its vote for Ar- thur when it is needed to nominate him. As a matter of fact, Mr. Blaine has not yet said that he 18 a candidate, and when he does speak he is more than likely to say that he is not a candidate. ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWSTER has at last furnished the senate with the corre- spondence relating to the pay of counsel in the star route cases. The matter which these letters contain completely justifies the course pursaed by Senator Van Wyck in this affair, and puts him in a very honorable light before the country. It appears from these letters that when Mr. Brewster tried to make the public believe that the compensation of these attoyneys was fixed by Attorney General McVeagh, his predecessor in office, he was guilty of gross deception. Mr. Brew- ster himself fixed the pay, and is alone responsible for the enormous sums which were drawn by these attor- neys. These letters also show that Sen- ator Van Wyck's protests against* the raids on the treasury which the attorney general countenanced, have compelled Mr. Brewster to reduce the pay of tho counsel whiche he employed. They have also frightened him into taking the names of those who received the largest fees off the pay-roll altogether. Among others who were thus deprived of their plunder was George Bliss, the biggest fraud of all. Itis worthy of note that while many other senators and congressmen must have had a very broad suspicion, to put it mildly, that everything was not right in the attorney general's depart- ment, Senator Van Wyck was the only one who had courage enough to denounce the reckless extravagance. The result of his persistence is the saving of a consid- erable sum to the government, TaE reason why the defaulting cashier of the Newton, Iowa, bank was not pur- sued is now made clear, He was not tha only officer in the bank who speculated. On the contrary, a special fund was set apart for gambling purposes, into which all the officers dipped their hands at will, The only trouble with the cashier was that he took more than his share, As the others were almost as deep in the mud as he was in the mire, they did not care to hunt him down. Perhaps this explana- tion will apply also to other cases where defaulting cashiers have been allowed to freely escapo, Tue pig-iron makers of Pennsylvania aro throatened by competition much nearer home and much more serious than that of the *‘pauper labor” of Europe. Alabama iron-workers are making con- tracts to deliver pig iron at $12 50 a ton, which is less than two-thirds of the lowest price that Pennsylvania operators can af- ford to receive. Pig iron can easily bo made in Alabams for $075 a ton It looks as though iron would soon be cheaper in this country, Tur Bee predicts that Mr, Blaine, at the proper time, will announce that he is not a candidate for the presidency, and what is more, Mr. Blaine, through his intimate friends, will assist Mr. Arthur to be nominated and elected. We know whercof we speak., Mr. Blaine has a good deal more respect for Arthur than he has for Conkling, Platt and Grant, who are attempting to undermine Arthur because they have not been able to con trol him Tue Hastings Gazette-Journal say ““The Omaha Republican is anxious to have Arthur order out the troops to drive away some of the federal oficors now in that as long as the present red-headed congressman from Colorado is in the house, there will never be any lack of entertainment. We would advise Mr. Valentine’s late clerk to moderate his wrath., There is danger that he will rupture one of his small intestines if he keeps on raving over the Arthur boom We would suggest that the board of lunacy look after Theron Nye's demented off-spring. The Arthur boom has bereft him of his senses. S — CITY WALKS AND TALKES. ——"“The old landmarks aro disappearing one by one, and in a few years not one will be left,” romarked an old settler who had been taking a walk around town. *‘I can see only a fow of the old houses remaining. They have given place to more stately buildings. The first house in Omaha was built by the ferry company, It was a rude log structure, and waa occupied by Mr, and Mrs. W, P. Snow- den, who kept it as a sert of a hotel or hoard- ng houso during the summor and fall of for the employes of the ferry company, waa It located on the corner of Twelfth and Jackson streets, and was called the St. Nich. | h olag, butc_was better known ns tho ‘Claim House." Besides being the first house, it was the firat hotel in Omaha, The second house in Omaha was built by Mr. Gaylord, at Burt and Twenty.cecond streets, The third was the ‘Big 6, a sod-house or ‘dug out,’ which was occupied as a grocery and saloon by Lewis & Clancy, on the north side of Chicago, be- tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, The fourth house was the log dwelling erected by Mr. Snowden, on the west side of Tenth street, just south of the Turner hall, the kite being now covered by a brick dwelling. The next house put up was by P. (. Peterson, on the west side of Tenth street, between Far- nam and Harney. Peterson was the first sheriff of Douglas county, This house that he built was bonght “of him by Mr. Poppleton and W. N, Byers, the latter of whom lived in it for two or threw years, 1t was afterwards occupied by John H. Sahler. Mr. Poppleton also lived in it for over two years. A fow years ago it was removed to make room for Mr. Poppleten’s three story building, The sixth house was erected by Samuel E. and William Rogers, south side of Douglas, between Tenth and Eleventh streets. The old state house was the first brick struc- ture. It was built by the ferry company for the first session of the legislature. It stood on the west side of Ninth street, between Far- nam and Douglas, Pioneer Block was the first brick block, comprising two or more stores, that waa erected in the city. It was destroyed by fire a few years ago. Goodman's and Lehman’s buildings now cover the site. ‘The only brick building now standing_in the city, built as long ago as 1855, is the United States National bank building, at the corner of Farnam and Twelfth streets. It was huilt by three or four Tsn'.lamen connected with the ferry company, for a business kouse, and was rented and occupied a3 soon as completed, which was in 1856. The brick house on the block bounded by Webster and Burt, and "L'wenty-first and Twenty-second streets, was | h built in 1856, It was built by Governor Izard for his residence, It is a one-story house, of the southern style of architocture, - I under- stand_the property was recently bought by John A. Creighton, who intends to put upfa handsorde row of houses on the ground. The frame residence at the south- weat corner of Dodge and Righteenth streets was built by Sucmbuf Cuming in 1855 or 1856, Mrs, Cuming still resides there with her brother, Hon Frank Murphy. The Lowe rosidence, southwest corner of Harney and Sixteenth streots, was built in General Thniar built the lerga brick house at the northenst corner of Sixteenth and Davenport stroots in 1857. Tt 18 now owned by Gieneral William Myers, who is making arrangements to tear it down and build in its place a large business block this summer, The brick house, I just east of this, on Davenport street, was built by T. G. Goodwill in 1857, Major Greorgo Armstrong built the brick house on the north side of Dodge street, between Four- teenth and Fiftesnth, in 1857, and the next year ho built the large brick house on the south side of Dodge, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth, now owned and occupied by A. Cahn. The brick house on the north side of Dodge, between Fifteenth and —Sixteenth stroots, now owned by James G. Chapman, waa built in 1856.” “Talking about Mr. and Mrs, Snow- den,” sald another old settler who was an in- terosted listener, *'reminds me of the fact that they wero the first actual sottlers in Omahs, It was on the morning of the 11th of July, 1854, that Mr, and M, Newell camo over hero from Kunesville, or Council Blufls, as it 1s now called, to work for the ferry company. Mr, Snowdon and his wife came ovor on the afternoon of the same day, on Willlam D, Brawn's flat boat forry, Mr, and Mrs, Newell remained only three weeks, therefcre the Snowdens are the first actual settlers living here to-day. No one had lived here provi. ously, although many claims had been staked out. Cam, Reeves and family followed M. Snowden’s, and next came P. G, Petarson, Many of our old settlers, however, did not lozate permanently in Omaha till late in the fall of 1855, and many did not come till 1856 and 1857, Although they had been on the grouvd before, more or less fraquently, thay esville in the meantime, My friend here has told you that Mr, and My, Snowden occupied the first house built in Omuha, and that it was built by the ferry company. After keeping the St. Nicholas, as it was called, for three months, Mr, and Mrs, Snowden moved into the log house, on Tenth street, the lot haviog been given to them on condition that they would build on it. This was the first private dwelling house that was completed in Omaha, The ploncers gave them u grand housewarming when they moved fnto it. Quilts and aprons answered for doors, and rough boards for seats. The dance held on this occasion was the first entertain- ment of the kind in Omaha, Amoug those in attendance, besides Mr. aad Mrs. Snow= den, were A. D, Jones, Bd, Burdell, who afterwards buily the City Hotel, at the south- west corner of Eleventh and Harney streets, Alexander Davis and daughters, and Mr. Leonard and wife. Leonard, who was a fid- dler, furnished the musioc, Mr. and Mrs, Snowden lived in this house for two yesrs, aud the building was standing up to 1870, The ferry company had offered a lot to the first lady who settled in their new town, and Mrs. Suowden in due time secured the prize, and afterwards dispossd of it. The Snowdens are now living in ono of A 1D, Jones' houses, Eleventh and Juckson streets, within a block of the spot where they first located in Omaha. They could no doubt tell you many iuterest- ok things concoruiug the early Yistory of waha, " . ——*I noticed in » ‘newspaper the other day,” said an old timer to TiE Bex's Man About Town, “'a paragraph to the effect that Presidant Arthur has csused to be propared for himn at the navy department a complete histary of the action of the father of his wife, this state in the alleged interests of Arthur,” SeT———— Tk senato has gone a long distance ' out of its way to add $6,000,000 to the naval appropriation bill as psssed by the house, ‘Che amount as Jeft by the lower | William Lewis Herndon, of the Uited States navy.

It is now the Union Pacific headquarters.” —“When T was in Washington a few days | g0, said Hon, John L. Webster, “I took Min, Wobster and a lady from New York to the gallery of the house of representatives. | Spenker Carlisle was making a most diligent effort to obtain order. Tt was a place of most wonderful confusion, Half the members were talking aloud and wandering about in the cloak rooms or washrooms, smoking cigars, whilo others woro trying to got the ear of the speaker, to introduce some resolution or call up some bill, - Nobody could hoar what was being said. Carlisle, in a cloar, ringing voice, called the house to come to order, end pound- ed his desk with his gavel. Ta a moment the confusion was as loud as befors, He kept on pounding and again requested order, with the samo result. Thers was an apparent disposi. tion on the part of the houso either not to en- 30 in any businoss, or dofeat the taking up of some particular matter, I could not doter- ino which, Finally Carlisle said it was a question of great importance for tho house to debormine what bustnsss 1t would take undor considoration, and ho made an earnest appeal for order, but'without any effect.

If any tramv is hungry he knows well enough that he needn’t starve for he can go into a restaurant or a hotel or a private house and get enough, for the asking, to keep him from suffering. This giving money to men who ask it from you on the stroet is all wrong, Instead of getting grub with it, they buy whisky. This explains why there are so many drunken tramps. They work the ‘something to eat’ business for all it is worth, and some of them collect two or three dollars in this way and blow it all in on budge. Before midnight they generally land 1n jail full of whisky and not a cent in their pockets, They eenerally station themselves near a restaurant and cast hungry looks inside so as to work upon the sympathy of the passers-by, whom they tackle for ten or fifteen cents or a quarter. They work their racket systematically. They gen. erally do their be%ginz about meal time, and Iater in the night they appeal for a quar. tar to pay for s bod. ‘The money fhit they gat for beds goes for whisky, and they finally goto jail to pass the remainder of the night.

Many amanif he could look through a magazine and rend an_articlo or two, which happened to strike his fimiy, would not buy the magazina. If he could do this with one magazine, ho could do it with all others, If he sees something that he wants to read, and can't do it because the leaves are uncut, o will be sure to buy the magazine, Leav- ing the leaves uncut is a great protection to tho trade. I the leaves were cut I venture to €ay that tho sales would decrease 25 per cent, Another reason is that the outting of tho leaves wouid invulve some expense on the part of the publisher.
