Nothing daunted, how- ever, this arrogani would-be autocrat appeared at Chicago with the delegation to the national convention, and by threats and bulldezing, whipped the delegates into line for Blaine, The action of him- solf and his principal lieutenants towards lican party, has returned with a bunch of bananas and a bouquet of magnolias,” Ix the Sixth congressional district of Towa Weaver, the fusionist candidate, was elected by 565, In the First con- gressional district of Nebraska our Weaver, republican, recoiyed a majority of betwoen 500 and G00. The election of the two Weavera will probably be con. | tested, and the prospect of the Iowa Weaver for keeping his sent is much better than that of the Nebraska Weavor. ‘Tue mayor of New York has prohibit- ¢d any more “glove contests” in that city on the ground that they are demoralizing and differ in no degreo from prizo fights. The mayor has boen a long time in coun- ing to this proper conclusion, bubit is never too late to mend, 1t isto be hoped, however, that the mayors of all the large cities will follow the example of the New York executive, and put an end to theso evasions of tho law which have wonderfully increased in number during the past two or three years, and have had an evil effect all over the conutry. —_— IN view of the fresh outbreak of cholera in France, Secretary McCulloch hasissued a circular order in rolation to the impor- tation of old rags from infected ports, which modifies existing orders on that subject 87 a3 to continue the embargo until further notico and to declare all French and Mediterranean ports to be infected. This is eminently proper, and the order should be strictly enforced. We canbatter afford to pay a higher price for paper than to take any chances of in- troducing cholera in this country through imported raga, Pavr pe CassacNac, the famous duclist, politician and editor of the Paris Pays, has announced his intention of re- tiring from public life and do no more fighting. This course no doubt has been induced by the fact that he has been left a fortune of §600,000 by M. Julien, a re- tired meorchant of Marseilles, and he now proposes to enjoy his iuheritance. The fact that he has abandoned dueling no doubt emboldened & contemporary to make the following remark : The relatives of M. Julien will contest the will, however, on the ground of in- sauity, some of them declaring that suflicient proof of M. Julien's mental aberration lies in the fact of his baving been a subscriber to and reader of Zaya, Tue littlo leland of Dominica, in tho | jorities, four hayo bsen lost to the ro- | °f fAFming land in that part of tho stato Weat Indies group, wants to cut loose from the British government and londers various elements of the forior which used to send a solid repubiican delegation to congress. : g result in this um,;uhzn'l In the first dig. | 'OV fawning, we accept tho result in a the Arthur men was simply outrageous, and will never bo forgotten, His treat- ment of Arthur's supporters affer the convention was as overbearing and tyran- nical as that of the southern democrats towards the republicans in the solidsouth, Having succeeded in nominating the man of hig choice, Mr. Clarkson returned to Towa covered with a blazs of glory, as he imagined. But what was the result? Did Blaino swecp that state like a prairio fire¢ No, indeed. He received but a fraction over 18,000 plurality, while Garfield recefved a plurality in 1880 of 78,082, We venture to say that if Mr. Clarkson should attempt to manage tho politles of Towa for another four years that state would go democratic at tho next presidential election, time It is about step placo down for the parly in that republicanism, should make harmonizs that he out to who can stronghold of What was tho trict Hall, fusionist, was elected over Woolson, republican, by a majority of 74 votes. 1In the secoud district the fu- sion candidate, Murphy, defeated Shaw, republican, by 4,375. Henderson, re- publican, was elected in the third dis- trict, over Linehan, fusionist, by 1,332, The fourth district gives Fuller, repub- lican, a majority of only 270. The fifth district elected the fusion candidate, Frederick, over Smith, republican, by 99 votes, Weaver, the famous greenbacker, was re-elected in the eixth district over Campbell, republican, by 565, In the seventh district there were two ro- publicans, Conger and Smith, and two fusionists, McHenry and Kreidler, run- ning for congress, Conger was olectod, having received the largest voto. eighth district, Hepbuon, republican, do- feated Davis, fusionist, by 2,373, The Ninth district elected Lyman, republi- can, over Pusey, by 658, 1In tho tenth district Holmes, republican, was olooted ovor McCoy, fusionist, by a small ma- jority, Struble, republican, was elected in the cleventh district over Barbeo, fusionist, by 6,799, In tho first dis- trict, where the fusion majority was 74, and in the sixth district, where Weaver, fusionist, recoived a mojority of 06D, there will be contests.

The Amorican people are quick to adapt themeelves to changed conditions and circumstances, and we have no fear whatever that the impending chango will seriously effect their material welfare. As governor of the great atate of New York, Grover Cleveland has been in the main an honest, conservative and eafe executive. His administration as gov- ernor has been characterized by an abrence of jobbery and extravagance ond it would be unreasonable to expect that he will pursue a different policy when he becomes chief executive of the nation. 1f he has exhibited any undue and improper partiality it has been towards corporate interests and cap- itallsts. It Is therefore natural to pre- sume that he will not attempt to injure or destroy those interests by any policy that would be inimical to the industrial and commercial interests of the country. While we, in common -with a large ma- jority of the people of the north, would have hailed the election of James G. Blaine and the continuance of republican rule a8 more eatisfactory, wo propose to acquiesce in the decree of the majority of the whole people, and shall do nothing to encour- age, countenanco or instigate an attempt to obstruct a fair, honest and loyal ad- ministration of nationsl aflairs at the hands of those who have been delogated with excculivo authority after the 4th of March. We rejoice that the contest io euded and belisye that the republicsn candidates will yield as gracefully to do- feat as do tho maases of the porty.

When the democracy comes into power we shall hold it rigidly responsible for good gov- ernment and propose to fearlessly de- nounco all abuses as we have done when our own party was at the helm. THE FENCE QUESTION, The national cattlemen’s convention at Chicago adopted a resolution to tho ef- foct that it is of the utmost importance to future stock raising that some kind of pormanent tenuro beobtained to the graz ing lands so that they can be legally fenced in. This io a atep in the right dircction, as at preecnt the stockmen have no right to erect fences on the publlc domain no matter how valueless the lands may b for agricultural purposes. In those regions where the lands are only fit for graziug, they have mot been interferred with, but in eome sections, especially in northwestern Nobraoka, some of tho cattlemen have inclosed lands that aro really desirablo for farms, and consequently they now find thom- sclves in ytrouble as tho homesteaders aro moving upon them and demand that they vacate tho territory which they un- lawfully hold possession of, That the caitlomen who have enclosed largo tracts will have to take down their fences there is no doubt. We believe that the ro several ssloons that do not pay acent, althcugh doin, within tho line. Nothing could bo more unjuet than thie, and the law ought to be amended so as to abolish the two-mile belt. if this were done thero would be no trouble in collecting the £500 county license from the salvon-keepers who have taken advantage of this defect in the law. There has also boen somo queation as to whether the $1,000 city liconse should be collected in advance or in in- stallments. Whilewohave always believed and maintained that the law on this point is perfectly plain, and that the li- cense should be collected in advance, it would perhaps be well enough for the legislaturo to pass an amendment making it g0 plain that no one can dispute it LEADING THEM ALL Thero is nothing 8o successful a8 suc- cess, This is vs true of the newspaper as of any other enterprise.

Aggregate daily circulation, five and a- half months ending July 15th, 1884, 7,901 Aggregate daily circulation, four months ending November 15th, 1884, 8,182, The above includes both morning and evening editions. The following exhibit shows the growth of the evening edition, which circulates almost entirely in this city: Ior three months ending Februsry 1, 1884, 3,601. For five and one-half months ending July 15, 1884, 2,844, For four :onths ending November 15, 1884, 4,013, With an aggregate daily circulation of over 8,000 the Bex has moro than four times the circulation of any other daily in Omaha and very nearly if not fully as large a circulatlon as all the dailies of this state could show combpined. It may appear incredulous, but it is neyertheles truo that this paper outranks in point of circulation any dsily published in the states of Kansas, Towa and Wisconsin, and In fact every paper published west of Chicago and north of St. Louts except those of Kansas City, (Mo.,) St. Paul and Minneapolis. Unless Omaha receives a very serious check in her growth the Bee will outstrip its most successful con- temporaries in those cities within the next five years, WHATEVER may be said about the mugwump prass, it would have been much more prudent for the republicans to have heeded whatit said than to have defied it. 1t will be remem bered that General Anson McCook was ono of thoso who resented the conduct of Cartis and his associates, the inde- pondents, in a letier which he publish, in the New York Zvibunc, In respouso to this letter the Now York ZFuvening Post made the following reply, which, in the light of subsequent events, {s shown t) have boen worthy of consideration: It may be true, as General McGook suys, that a refusal to support the nom- ineo is “*destructive of party discipline and party organization,” but there is one thing that is still more destructive, and that is the nomination of candidates who cannot be eupported, Mr, Blalne was and put iteelf beneath the stars and|OClarkson and the Des Moines Registert stockmen should be permitted to loase stripes of the United States, The island has only 201 equare miles, and a popula- tiou of 26,000, consisting mostly of ne- groes and French creclos, Its legislative assembly has memorialized the British | the past four years cortainly ought to be government to cede the island to the|impressive enough to bring about a radic- Uatted States. The next step for the legislative assembly to do is to ascertain whether the United States would take the island of Dominica as a gift. Is it not plain to every candid and un- prejudiced mun that lowa needs better leadership and less bigotry and fanaticism in the republican party! The lesson of al change, and fenco their ranges In regions which can never be utilized for agricul- ture, and the resolution of © convention to ask congress for favorable legislation on this matter is eminently proper. The stockmen are eagor either to buy these lands or rent them for a term of years, At the same the only candidate at Chicago wheso nomination was held by a considerable body, or by anybody, to be insupporta- lo on moral grounds, This was known to his friends and to all of them, includ- ing General McCook, They were amply warned beforchand, There was the whole country to choose from.

While thus encamped, a Mormon train paseed by on its way to Utah, and a cow belonging to the train, left the road and went into the Indian camp. This cow was killed by some of the Indians. The Mormons, on arriving at the fort, report- ed the fact, when Lioutenant Fleming, wha was in command, ordered Lieutenant Grattan, with a file of soldiers,to proceed to the Indian camp and arrest tho lndians who had killed the cow. At the time there were but fow troops at Laramie, and nearly one-half of these were absent on the Platte river cutting hay. Licuten- ant Gratten took twenty-nine mwen and an interpreter, and set out to exocute the order. He tock with him, also, two pieces of artillery. Upon arriving at the trading post, near the Indian camp, the trader advised him not to enter the camp, and proposed that he would go in aud bring out, the chiof to see Grattan, The licutenant replied that he had come to arrest the partica who had kiiled the cow, and he proposed to do s, The i terpreter, who was more or lees under the influence of liquor, acted in a very indiseroet mauner, and told the Indians that the soldiers had come there to cut out thelr d—d hearts if they dia not give up the partiee who had killed that cow. This the Indians refused to do, where- upon the troops unlimbered their cannon and fired them, as well as a volley from their muskets, They killed one Indian and mortally wounded geveral more be- longing to a band of Brule Sioux, when the Indians became aroused, and advanc. ing towards the troops, the latter re- treated. The Sioux followed them up and killed every one of them. Without waiting any longer for tho arrival of their agent, they went to the warehouse near by where ‘their annuity goods were in store, took them, and separated for their homes. Although able to have stormed Fort Laramic, they made no atrempt o1 that kind. On account of this aflair, congress authorized an addition of three regiments to the rogular army, and then Genoral Harney’s Sioux expedi- tion followed. The ‘crowning act of Harey'’s cumpaign was the massacre of Little Thunder's band at Ask Hollow,on the Blue Water in northwestern No- braska.

The Indiaus otarted on a retreat, but talied, just before meoting Cook’s cav- alry, which was waiting in ambush, Harney then held a parley with Little Thunder and told him that the Indiaus had massucred the eoldiers at Fort Lava- mie under the most aggravated circum- atances, und now tho day of rotribution had come, that he did not wish to harm him (Little Thunder) personally, as he professed to be a friend of tho whites, but that he must deliver up the young men whom he acknowledged he “could not coutrol, or they must suffer the con- years, and 1 sort of man,” continued the old; settler. “He used to swear like a trooper, 1 re | member coming up from St. Joe to Oma- | ha with him in 1868, The Council Bluffs | & St. Joo railrond was then nestly com | pleted to Council Bluffls, When we left ‘N Joe, General Harney got angry be- cause ha could not get a good breakf y wore he would not est anything { mro until ho reached Omaha.

Tho soldier’s sisters in New York wrote to General Howard in buhalf of the prisoner appealing to him to intorest himself in his cage and oee if something could not bo done to lighten the sentence.

He ie now 70 years of age, hae been eix years in congress, during which time his chief record has been unstinted abuse of England in particuiar and all mon- archies in general, and the saying of in- opportune thiugs at the the most oppor- tune moment.

The New Faces in the Next Congress, The Washington correspondent of the Baltimere American has written an inter- esting resume of the changes made In congress by the recent elections. Reference hes alrendy been made in this correspondence to gome of the fa- miliar faces that will be missed in the next congress; but the later returns and a more careful examination of the lists warrant a continuation of the subject, Indeed, there is a growing fear thas the Fortyninth congress will bo a tamo af. fair. . The bold und brillisnt Texan, Tom Ochiltree, will now bo permiticd to rejoin his cowboy constituente, and the Gérmen tyrant muy sleep in undisturbed serenity.
