Bo 488" Omaha, Nebj ———————————————— Tie battlo of the ballots begins to-day in Chicago, P ] Somrpopy seems to have trod on Dr Miller's corns. Mavor Cnase and Marshal Guthrie will find it a Jittle hotter later in the season. Mr. BLAilN}Irnly; that he doos not ox- pect the presidential nomination, but that a dark horse will carry off the prize. GENERAL SHERMAN says ho fs not a dark horse, and would not ~accopt the presidential nomination under ‘any cir- cumstances. Di. Mizier now administers a dose of tafly to Mr. Poppleton. Dr. Miller ought to know that taffy has no more effect on Mr, Poppleton than water has on a duck’s back. Ir Councilman Kaufman would serve the interests of the public schools rather than those of the saloon-keepors, he would earn for himself a more enviable reputation as a city father than he is now acquiring. Tre Bee said yesterday that Dr. Mil- lor must be in a very unhappy state of mind. Since that time evidence has been produced in the columns of the | 1HE PUBLIC LANDS, The public lands committee reported some days ago in favor of repealing the timber culture and pre-emption laws The committeo’s recommendation was made after a careful investigation, tho re- sult of which was the discovery that im mense tracts of lands are being obtained undec the law for eastorn and foreign capitalists. Under the law as it is, one person may obtain 160 acres by pro emption at $1.25 per acre and a short settlement, and 160 acres by going 8 | through the farce of breaking five acres and planting it to trees, and 160 acres by five year's actual residence thereon, Speaking of the working of the pre- emption law the committee say: Whole townships of the public domain have been acquired under this law by capitalista who do not reside within hun- dreds of miles of the land, and never did. They have secured them through paid agonts in their employ, who reccive #o much for their services when they make the proof necessary to entitle them to a patent from the govornment, and _assign their claims to their employers, This is done, of course, through perjury and subornation of perjury, for each ono of these agents or claimants is required to make settloment on the proemption clalm under the law, and he must make oath beforo the register or receiver of land in the district that he has not settled upon and fmproycd such land to sell the same on speculation, but in good faith to ap- propriate it to his own exclusive use, and that he has not directly or indirectly made any agreement or contract in any way or manner with any person whatso- over, by which the title which he might acquire from the government of the United States, should insure in whole, or in part, to the benefit of any person ex- cept himself, And it is well known that this oath is daily taken by parties who make it under contracts such as we have indicated above. Their file with the register of the proper land district their declaration making their proof, afli- davit, and payment required by the law, and receivoe their title, and transfer the samo to tho parties with whom they made the contract before they attempted to make a preemption. Secretary Teller, in his report upon the timbar culture act, says that his in- formation leads him to the conclusion that a majority of entries under that act are made for speculative purposes, and not for the cultivation of timber. Compliance with law in these cages is a mere’ pretence, and does not result in the production of timber. On the contrary, as one entry in a section exhausts the timber-culture right in that eon holes, The bill which has recently passed is & good one, and its scope is made reaching and sufficient. It leaves however, much to the dlscretion and judgment of works and still more to the vigilance and executive abil- ity of the chief engineer of the fire de- partment, The Bee calls up the subject at this day only to say that the rules and regulations to be adopted by the board can hardly be 1l publ 00 stringent in their precautions against the possibility of the construction of any more such fire traps as we erected within the last few yewrs upon our principal businoss streots. has had too many forests of fire enclosed have seen Omaha within brick walls, too much substantial veneors and tinder box interiors, too few businoss blocks built with any view to possible emergency whero 60 or 100 human beings might bo compelled to tako their lives in their own hands by running madly through blazing jolsts and flaming woodon stairs to reach a place of safety. 'Tn compiling their regula- tions tho board building should bo guided largely by the experi- ence of the other cities in liko cases. The thickness of party and foundation and outer walls, the arrangement of joists and studding in relation to flues, the width of halls and staircascs, the helght of fire guards above the roofs, all theso detaily with a hundred others should be carofully considered, fixed in- structions to architects and builders is- sued and inflexibly adhered to when made. Strict vigilance and prompt pros- ccution of offenders will do much to make such a building law respected and obeyed. The result will then bo what overy well wishor of Omaha desires, Mavor Cuast: had the audacity to tell the city council that he supposed the resolution requosting him to send in hisannual appointments roferred to the chief of the fire department, about whom there was some controveray, and he therefore sent in the appointment of Chief Butler. Mayor Chase well know that the resolution referred particularly to the city marshal, and he well knows the reasons why the council and the pub- lic want him removed. It was expected that the mayor would, at Tuesday even- ing's council meeting, send in the ap- pointments or make some explanation of his conduct. The mayor sentin no ap- section, it follows that every fraudulent entry prevents a bona-fide one {in any Herald to show that he is in a dangerous state of mind, Oxe hundred_and twenty-seven thou- sand people in Kansas City. What will the hirelings of the neighborhood press say to this improvement!— Kansas City Times. The lightning calculator of the Zimes is a great improvement on the ordinary newspaper li: GENERALCLAYTON, who was defeated by J. R. Lynch, the colored gentleman from Mississippi, in the contest for the temporary [chairmanship of the na- tional republican convention, acted very gracefully throughout the fight. He vo- ted for his opponent, and when the result was announced, he moved to make the election of Lynch unanimous, Quin BonanNoN, who is under sen- tence of death, writes from the peniten. tiary to the editor of the Omaha Herald: “Ilike your paper; I like your senti- ments,” &e. Itis no wonder that Mr, Bohannon likes a paper that is opposed to capital punishment. Mr. Bohannon is opposed to the same thing. PorioeMaN NiGuTINGALE has again been suspended for drunkenness. Mayor Chase was aware of the character of this man when he re-appointed him to the police force,and the council was acquaint- od with the fact that the man had been removed from the force last year for good oauce, yet it went on and confirmed his ro-appointment. The council ought to give Nightingale an everlasting vacatfon. Tae city council has adopted & resolu- tion requesting the city attorney to give his opinion upon the present liquor license ordinance, and if it is defective to atate what is necessary to make it legal and effective. ‘'he council ought also to have passed a resolution that it would aot in accordance with the city attorney's opinion, which, we predict, will be that the present ordinance is wholly illegal, and that an entirely new ordinance will have to be passed. E—— Hon, Jorn R, Lynon, the colored del- ogate to the national republican conven. tion, from Mississippi, made a dignified and well-timed speech upon accepting the temporary chairmanship of the con. vention onTuesday. Every word was ap- propriate and befitting, and bore evi. denoe of the ability, patriotism and good sense of the speaker., Such' men as Lynch, Bruce, Douglass and Revels area credit to any party, and the republican party shows its wisdom in recognizing them. SE— Tus ordinsuce introduced at the last council meeting making the licenses for oirousscs $300 a day; for each slugging, sparring or boxing match, $100; each va- rioty theatre, $600, otc., is & step in the might direction, but it does not go far enough. Circusses ought to be made to pay at the very least $500 & day. They take out of the city thousands of dollars and spend little or no money, except for advertising. They can well afford to pay $500 a dayin such a great show town as Omaha. As to the license for slugging matches, we hope the ordinance wili be amended so as to make the license $1,000,and for variety dives $1,000 would be sbout the right figure, In other . words the slugging and variety business ought to be prohibited. portion of that section within which the fraudulent entry is made. Secretary Teller's information is that no trees are to be seen over the vast regions of coun- try where timber-culture entries have been most nume.ous. It is proposed by the committee to hereafter give only 160 acres to any one, and that only upon the rigid condi- tions that every homesteader shall make final proof of two creditable witnesses that he has rosided upon and cultivated and permanontly improved his homestead for four consecutive years. Other pro- visions are to be made against fraud, in securing public lands. Although the public domain seems inexhaustible, it is rapidly diminishing, Last year 19,430,- 032 acres were taken up in one way and another, an increase of 5,000.000 acres over 1882, and nearly 9,000,000 in 1881. Of this vast area a trifle over 8,000,000 acres were in homestead entries, but the Iatterare increasing so fast that by them- selves they are making large inroads year- lyinto the lands still belonging to the 'NERSHIP OF £LANDS The alarming extent to which foreign- ers have become vast land owners in this country has been brought to the atten. tion of the national republican conven- tion in an address, which was read by Alexander Sullivan, in behalf of the ex- ecutive committoe of the Irish National league, The address shows the dangers that are sure to result from the immense land grabs that have been made through ratlroad companies and other corporations by foreign capitalists, One of the prin- cipal dangers is the creation of an immense absenteo landlordism, by which, as the address states, the riches of our soil and the results of the hardy labor of our citizens are to be drained out of the country to swell the fortunes of the hereditary monopolists, who bave obtained at least 20,000,000 acres of our soil, This subject has been frequently discussed of late by the lead- ing newspapers and statesmen of our country, and it seems to be the general desire of our people that the ownership of the lend in the United States must de- pend upon American citizenship. The Irish National league, while no doubt having in view a blow principally at English capitalists who have become immense land monopolists in the United States, has struck the popular chord. The league in its movement against alien land owners and monopolists will have the sympathy and support of the great mass of the American people, and the republi- can national convention will in all proba- bility take decisive action upon the mat- ter, by making recommendations to con- Kress to enact prohibitory laws against alien ownership of lands. The conven- tion osnnot afford to ignore the fact that the ownership of land, ospecially in . immense tracts, by foreiguers, is contrary to the spirit of re- publican institutions, and that such for- eiguers should be compelled to become citizens of this country or relinquish their lands to persons who are citizens, — For four years the Bxs urged in and out of season the passage of a municipal building law which should prevent erec- tion of dangerous structures upon our streots and assure the safoty of the in. wates of huilings and their neighbors. Two years ago Mr. Herman from the Bixth ward introduced such a measure but it died in the committee room pig- pointment of city marshal, but made some driveling excuse for retaining Guth- rio. He can find no precedent, he says, for making annual appointmonts, “In my experience in lifo I have become something of a detective, and I hope the people will not think that I would re- move an officer unless there was some- thing against him,” says the honorable mayor., Commentis hardly necessary. Suffice it to say, Mayor Chase is certainly possessed of monumental cheek andunex- ampled stubbornness, His course can only be accounted for by the fact that he dare not dissolve the partnership of Chase & Guthrie. OF course, a woman suffrage resolution was presented to the national republican convention. It would have surprised us more had no such resolution been offered. WEST OF THE MISSOURI, The stock raising interests of the west is at present undergoing an important change for the better, It is no longer a paying investment to purchase a herd of cattlo, brand them, and turn them loose on the prairie, and few men are reckless enoughto do it. The gradual and well de- fined change in the climatic, conditions of the country, the increased rain and snow fall, attributed to the rapid in- crease of cultivated land, and the enor- mous growth of the business, compels the adoption of more clvilized methods for the care and protection of stock. Ten years s, ) all that was necessary to start a man on the road to fortune was a cow anda bull. Turned loose on the boundless plains and fed on buffalo grass they multiplied so rapidly that in five yoars a comfortable competence was a certainty. In some casesa pair of spurs and a branding iron were the only capi- tal needed to socure the favor of the fickle goddess, butthe methods of the latter class generally brought them to rope's end or to quartersin a penitentiary. The rapidity and ease with which money was made in these days naturally attracted an unlimited amount of capital and hundreds of energetic men, So great has the influx been that to.day there are fow acres of the public domain to be found in Nobraska, Wyoming, Col- orado and Mcntana that are not inclosed orincluded in the range of some cattle king or ‘company. The process of mo- nopolizingiand consolidating small herds into large concerns, and fencing in vast areas of public land has been going on for several years. The former has proven a profitable success, the fences have not. What the government and the fence ocut- tors have not.demolished, the owners will finish, There are upwards of 5,000,000 of acres now under fence in Colorado and an equal amount in Nebraska and Wyo- ming, that do not belong to the parties owning the fence, but are the inheritance of the entire people. There is but little question’that the Becretary of the Interi- or will soon order all fences down, where the fence owners do not hold patents to the lands. This has been done in a fow instances and the order will be made uni- versal, without doubt. The t winter's storms have proven fatal to on fenced lands without natural or artificial shelter. In the nor- thern part of Colorado, on the Republi- can river—where the fences are—there has been a heavy loss of cattle. In some seotions the loss has been as high as 20 per cent of the whole number of cattle, while throughout the State the loss has been no more than 4 per cent. Oattle in the blizzard storms drifted against the wire fences, and there lay down and died in large numbers, In many instances they were found tangled in the wire and frozen where caught. A great many stock men and compani- o8 are now nqohdng for the purchase of y them, It is be- the nlxt: 000U @ lieved present yoar will sce a largo)gross. It strikes home, The appropria- number of the finest ranges in the west pass from '||||ch to private control. The Union _ Pacific railrond company has already disposed of thou sands of acres of this land in Wyomlng for range purposes, The com- pany has made a wise rale in refusing to sell to any one individual or association exclusive water rights, A purchaser can secure land only on one side of & stream, which prevents a monopoly of the most essential element of the With actual own come more advanced methods for the care and protection of stock. Winter feeding with sheltar must be provided. The annual saving in young and old stock, the prevention of loss through cold, hunger and thirst during severe winters, would soon repay the extra cost of securing hay and construction of sheds. It would banish the wal anxiety as to winter losses, improve the quality of beef and bring the business down to a settle basis, ip in land will The reclamation of the arid regions of Wyoming and Colorado, which has been noted from time to time in Tue Bek, is one of the most important public works undertaken by private Irrgation has already proved an unqualified success in Utah, Montana, and in soma parts of; Colorado. Though a very heavy item of expense in farm management® tho certainty of a crop is beyond the va- “One of over enterprise, garies of mountain weather. the largest undertakings of this kind,” says the Cheyenne ZLeader, ‘‘is that now being projected under the auspices of the Wyoming depelopment company whose place of operations in the Northern part® Laramio county and the country watered by the Sabille. This plan of development consists of a ditch which will reclaim 60,000 acres of land which are now unfit for grazing purposes The soil of the large tract reclaimed is a dark loam, and only requires water to make it of sufficient fertility for agricul tural purposes. This ditch which was commenced last fall, taps the Big Lara- mie river in the foot hills of the Laramie mountains, and is of no small proportion, being twenty-five feet wide on its bot: tom. After leaving tho Laramie it passes through a tunnel three quarters of a milo long which has been excavated through the aimost solid rock of one of Laramie’s towering hills, and continues its course to the Blue Grass creck into which it empties. Here the naturai channel of the Blue Grass is utilized, and composes the ditch for a distance of fifteen miles to the mouth, where it empties into the Sabille. Using the channel of this latter stream for a dis- tance o one and a half miles, a dam is erooted across it and from this poiftt the ditch proper again commences sud winds its course over hills and through valleys of as fine a stretch ot country ae can be be found in Wyoming. The exact termi- nation of the ditch has not yet been fully decided upon but it will not be less than fifty miles long and will eventually empty into Laramie river. About four hundred men and several hundred mules are now engaged in the enterprise. The force of workmen is being rapidly incressed, as it is the intention of the contractor to have the ditch completed by winter. The heaviest part of the work is now finished and the remaining distance will be rapid- ly covered. The cost of the undertaking will not fall short of a half million dollars, of which the tunnel will cost one-fourth.” The surveyors of the Union Pacific haye completed the survey of a line of railroad from Valparaiso to Red Cloud, in Webster county., The lineis said to be the best in some respects ever surveyedin the west. Besides passing threugh a rich and fertile section of the state the grade is unusually light. Following in- structions from headquarters the light grade was obtained by a very careful sur- vos of the route, which is a pretty good indication that the Union Pacific intends to tap that part of that state. The Red Cloud Chief, which has closely watched the surveyors, concludes that the Union Pacific folks are desirous of encroaching upon the territoryjof the B. & M., and for that reason proposo to pay them back in their own coin for building into their their territory as they have frequently done of late. This being cue of the best B, & M. townsin southern Nebraska, the U. P. have, we believe, concluded to build a road to Red Cloud from Valpa- raiso that would damage the B. & M. to a great jextent In many ways, making a much shorter route for one thing, and probably cut freight rates down consider- able, a consumationdevontly to be wished L sk T —— P —— ~ tion for the new postoffice has been cut down aud limited to £300,000, and the magnificent pile of granite which was at first mapped out has been buried in the avalanche of economy. Supplementing the democratic method of retrenchment the architect of the treasury has put in force an inflexible rule that all plans shall be kept within the appropriation. This only increases the misery of Denver. Pre. vious to the advent of Architect Bell it was the invariable practice to plan on a lavish scale and after exhausting tho first appropriation call for another, and » third if necessary. Tho approved plan f the building resembles somewhat the senate wing of the national capitol. It will be threo stories high with heavy un- cut columns and graceful corinthian pil- lara above. The front entrance will be ulevated, requiring several steps to reach the first door, the elevator is to be at the left of the postmaster’s office at the right of the lobby, Tho postoftice proper will oceupy tho entire remainder of the floor. The second and third floors will be used for offices and the United States court room, The surveyors of the St. Paul & Oma- ha road are running lines in Burt county over tho fields which the ovanescont Ne- braska Central was expected to occupy. Tho road has & magnificent country to operato in and a fow feeders into the in- terior would doubtless prove a paying investment. Tt is not unlikely that a line into tho famous **God's country” will be constructed bofore many years, The latest survey made was that between Docatur ana Tekamah, The Burfonian says the company has already made a sur- voy between Decatur and Oakland, and Decatur andLyons, and intend construc- ting a road on’ the best route. The natu- ral line botween Decatur and Tekamah and a line nearly as good, if not better, botween Tekamah and Fremont brings Tekamah's chances boldly to the front if the road is ever con- structed.

Tho future prospects for Red Cloud seem to be good, and if ;the Burr Oak road should also be extended jto Red Cloud, and on to Kearney, as it will no doubt, should the U.P. putin their con- templated road from Omaha, Red Cloud is certainly destined to be a city of no little importance, A fow weeks ago several well known Nebraskans, residents of Crete and Omaha, quietly organized a land and cat- tle company, filed their incorporation papers and went to work without any noise or flourish, The name of the com- pany is the Big Springs land and cattle company, with a capital stock of $50,000, The company is composed of and offic- ered by J. M. Daugherty and F. C. Craig of Omaha, M. A. Daugherty and J. W, Craig of Crete, and F. O. Miller of Greenville, Pa. The range owned by this company is located three hundred miles west of Omaha, in Keith county, in direct communication with Omaha by the U. P, railroad. ‘The range comprises 4,160 acres of land, held in fee with the rflvilego and use of 4,480, The south Sin:i of the m‘;alxfl miles u{m!x{l Big ngs, ex ix miles to the North Pf.m river, giving three miles of water front on this never-failing stream, These bluffs afford the finest of winter shelter Dolding” sogk, cihes wh" groving uilding with gro codar suflicient “I,gr' posts to fence the entire tract.
