TaE artole which appeared {n the Ber of arecent date ralative to an alleged dlscrepancy In the accounts of the post- ofiice at Cedar Rapids, Nebrssks, wes a mistake in that the wrong state was named. It should have been Cedar Rap- ids, Jowa, where there is just such a stato of affalrs existing as was described. GeN, LogaN’s new bock is entitled *‘The Great Consplracy; I's History and Ocigin.” It is now in the hands of the poblishers, We venture to say that when 1t makes Its appearance the critles will be disappointed in not b:ing able to find a single grammatical error In it. They wlill find it a revlsed edition from the start. Tue Chicago Daily Sun is the name of anow morning one-cent paper jast start- ed in that city. The proprietor is W. D. 8t. Clalr, and the editor is O. R. Dan- nett, formerly managlng editor of the Chlcago Zimes. The Sun shines bright- ly at the start, and under the excellent buelness and editorlal msnagement that will be glven to it by the experlenced publisher and edltor, its lustre will no doubt increase from day to day. i ——— Mg, Srorrorp, the llbrarian of con gress, recently told a correspondent that lterary actlvity in the United States Is oa the Incresse, and that about 1,000 more copyrights have been geanted during 1885 than at a corresponding period in 1884, The increste Is largely due to the great number of artiocles copyrighted by newspapers ad msgsznes, Many of these arttoles would have been just ay woll *‘protestcd” without & copyright as with it, as thelz merits have not warrant- od thelr republication in papers other than those in which they orlginally ep- peared, Tak fences must go, That the admin- Istration means Lusiness {8 shown by the faot that an order hss been reciived at Cheyenne direciing the commanders of all military posts In Wyoming to furnish whatever detall of troops may be neces- sary to Immedlately carry into effsot the president’s proclamation regerding llegsl fenoee on the publio domain, The mill. tary deteil will act under the direction of thespeclsl agent of thei land department of Wyoming, The probabllity, however, is that the stockmen will take down their fences before the military puts In an appearance, Tae republioan central commlitce should be called tcgether at once and set a day for the county convention, That conventlon can do double servico—nomi- nate a county ticket and elect delegates to the state oonvention, which will be held on the 14th of October. In many countlesicounty tickets have a'ready been nominsted. There is wo resson why Douglss ccunty should walt untll three or four days before the electlon. Our people ought to know who the candldetzs are and have awple {ime to make up their minds, The country preclncts are affected by these sudden enaps more than the olty, becsuse in the clty an suncunce- ment fn the dally pspers will arouse evirybody In twenty-four houre, But the farmers only tako the weeklies, sud 1t frequently heppens, oning to tha peca- lisr mothods purrued ia the city, the conniry preclucts do not kear of the peimsrg o'ection uniil after it has been bed THE UTAH PROBLEM, Senator Manderson s now in Utah, where ho has been for several days en- goged in studying the Mormon problem: Acocording to an Interview In the Salt Lake Zribune he ls doubtfal whether the Edmunds law will be found effeotive enough to destroy the practice of polyg- %1 amy, but he has nodoubt regarding the proposition that the people of the Unlted States and thelr representatives In con- gress are determined thatsuch leglelation shall be had as will forever put an end to polygamy. Senater Manderson thinks there Is no desire on the part of congress to Interfere In the least with the proper observance of the Mormcen rellglon. He expresses himself as strongly In favor of additionsl legislation on the Utsh ques- tlon, and his observationsand Investiga- tlons while in Utah will do doubt be of great arslatance to him in dlscussing the Mormon problem when it comes up for consideration In congress next winter, His position 1s indicated by the following extract from his interview In the Salt Liake Tribune: “I was one who supported the Hoar bill 1ast winter, believing it to I tep forward and being tired of the dilly-dallying troatment of this Utah question. I thinkit an act of great cruelty to the Mormon people them- selves for the United States, in its legislative and executive departments, to trifle with the matter of the extinction of polygamy., The Hoar bill presented greater vigor than the prasent Edmunds law, and I therefore voted for it, and I believe that it or some other bill, more effective, will be passed by congress dut- Ing the coming seesi TaE Bre's strictures upon Gen, How- ard were based upon the presumption that the ZZerald’s intervlew, purporting to give his ntterances upon the Chiness question, was correct. Gan. Howard, says that he was not correctly reported. Ho has no santiments to expressand takes nosldes in the controversy that has arisen out of the Rock Springs sffsir. Ho 's slmply commander of the department of the Platte, and hia duty lsto obcy the Instractions of his superiors and the war department. There is no trath, he says, in the statement,credited to him, that he intends to concentrate 3,000 men at Rock Springs and other polnts. The ro- portor asked him how many troops thore were In his department, and he replled that the aggregate force was abour 3,000 men. This is the only foundatfon for that story. Gen, Boward states that the troops at Rock Springs are really under ths orders of Gen, Schofield, commander of the diviston, to whom the officers raport di- rectly. They ere not there to overawe the miners or anybody else, but to pro- tect the rallroad property. Gen. Howard construes tha orders to thewe troope to mean a protectlon of the mines s will as other property. and guards have accordingly been placed over them, as the rallroad managers feared that attempts would be made to set tham on fire. Gan. Howard, In correction of an erroneous impression craatei by tho ITerald interview, says that he knowa as well as anybody that he has has no au- thority to use troops in Nebratka unless by dlrection of the president, who would not act unless called upon by the gover- nor of the state, and then only after he has been unable to maintain order. Gen. Howard has no fear of trouble in Ne- braska, and does not wish to bs cons'd- ered an alarmist, Tue recent International yacht race has so demoralized New York editors that they cannot dlscuss any subject without dragging in nautical terms. One would almost think that the metropoll- tan scribblers were a set of jolly tars. Even that sedste old land-lubber, the New York Evening Post, in discussing such a dry sabjeot as the tariff talks like an old salt, as follows: “‘Am!d this con- trarlety of opinion upon & mere-question of fact, the parties have as much trouble in getting started as the two yachisin the Internationsl race.

Look | ws here! ‘'here's Cowin, for instance, In ona article relating to the county commissioners ho is calied ‘general’ five or six time fact is he was & captain, and never was a gen- eral, and I have heard him say that he did not appreciate the ‘general’ business, John Manchester is reported as haviog gonme to Lincold, aud is called colonel. Manchester was & coptain, and never ranked as colonel. There are a fow instancss of pro- moting men after the war. I alio see by this same Herald that Col, Joha A. Or:igh- ton was at the Omaha expoeition, So also were Co', Paxton, Col. Dawey, Ool, Hanlon, and a host of other colonels too numerous to mention. Mr, Creighton was not in the war, and can lay claim to no title except Duke of Vancouver, Paxton was not in the army, nelther was Crelghton. Hanlon, however, was a soldier, but never a culonsl.

When she sent her aged father to Omaha with instructlons to find Maurice Elman, No. 306 Foreat street, bat wrote tho memorandum so poorly that Forest jooked more like Firat, she ought to have been thumped or spanked, it may be although she be nineteen and good looking as her father desoribes her. She deserves punishment for so outraging the falr fame of our boasted free education, The old man was completely fagged tn he entered the polloe station and dropped himself wearily Into a ohair. “I’'m about worn out tramplng over the town,” he sald, when his presence was at Iast notloed and the offizor of the watch approached him, -“My namo s Ee- vio, John Krvin, 1 live in Blair and camo down to-day to see my nephew. My daughter gave mo the address, but for the life of me, I can'tfind any Firat street hore,” and 80 eaying, he pulled a ellp of paper from his pocket, and with trembllog, toll-s*{ffened fingers unfolded it snd presented 1t to the functionary. Tho policoman know at oncoe that it was Forest otreet, although the word looked as much or mcrs like First. The cfficer was prompt and ready in directing the old gontleman to the proper address outin the western portion of the cify. ¢ That reminds me,” remarked & mem- ber of the coancll who I8 an suclent reel- dent, aud was a witness of the scene, “that tho day was when First strcet was «n existent thoroughfare. To.day, however, a man would have to be a good swimmer to find the strect. In that respect Omaha has e claim to Vene- tlan dlstinotion, ot aside from smimming, it wounld take a firsi-oless gondola to reach some of the strests.” Thus prefaclog his remarks the pion- eer oltizen dropped Into o long review of the historg of the city’s river front. When Omaha was originally mapped out, the streets parallel to the river wore delgnated numerically. This was thirty-five years sgo and wonderfal chang:s have been wrought In the iater val bpotwoen that tlme and the pres- ent. Althouh Flrt strcet was never much of a thoroughfare 1t was an existent reality, and in the dsys of staamboating on these waters it was Omsha's levy street. There might have been some hopes for Firat street in those dsys, and early speculators may have soen great futore returns {n corner lot investments along its length. Alas for human plans! the sullep, self-willed, changefal rlver had marked these very projects for the rain it could bring. The dark stream began to shift its bed, cut- ting ths banks upon its western shore with a merciless perslstency which car- rled its work with rapid progress. Sweep- iog around an immense bend & mile abova, the city was the direct target of the eirongest current, Every little freshet, each little rise saw new poszes- slons swept awsy as though the earth wa3 salt, There mus: have grown up thena splelt of fear of real estate specalation in Omsha and it was no wonder that the city took to the beautifal helghts which now form 1ts slte. Firav street was lost and the fretful stream continued to gnaw and cnt {ts confining banks. Blocke, which might have sustalned palatis! edi- fices 1n years to come , sickened of the hopes deferred and ylelded to the ad- vancing waves, Second and Third strecta followed, jolned #s well by the north ends of Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh screets. It wes then the year 1875, and the river had go far encroached upon the origlnal city that the govern- ment was appealed to for relief, The Un'on Pa:lgu and the Smelting worke awakened to the necessity of protecting theic property, and a campalgn of defenslve construction was begun. The government and the' rallwsy com- pany eet to work at onoe diking the river front, and the smelling company laid rip- rapping before Ita buildings. The work of the last two proved thorough and ef- ficaclcus, but with the exception of some heavy rcck work above the clty, the gov- ornment's task wag fatlle, as the frozen dlrt it dumped along the levy went out with the firat swell, A contract was at that time made with the smelting compsny whereby, In con- slderation of the protectlon it would give all property, it would be glven the title to all the land it made by patting its slag and refusa slong the river front near its worke. Ths olte of the smslter has ever been the direct p-int of the river's attack, and the thorcuzh bresstwork which the accuma'ated dump from tho works has made Is of unquestionably great adven- tsge to the entlre city. The performances of the mercurlal rbream of late yesrs are frech In the pub- lle vecollection, and have been go fre- quently reviewed that even newcomers wro acquainted with the facts, how one night vhe river cut through the neck of & b'g bend, banding over to Nebraska sev- erul acres of Towa Jand and a shoet of in- lind water, in its old bed, which is now called Oat-Oft lake, There is one ques. tion, however, which natorally arlses and may never have been breached before. To whom does the new Nebratka land scquired by the river's freak belong!? it a portion of the public domsin and can anyone pre-empt s legal ehare cf it, or does 1t still belong to the Hawkeye farmer who orlgleally took up? Theso are important conslderations, as it 1s known to all who have visited the lake that there 1 a conslderable atrip of d between that body of water and the river. This land s not sacd bottoms, but fs of an slluvial character whioh is riohly arable as the wild vegetation which covers It wlil testify, Somp enterprla‘ng specul:tor can afford to look up this metier, hose last reflaciions have been disgrazsions from the criginal tople and & suiorn to streets must be rade. There 1s however, littlo more to eay, but the upehot is that with the exception of a little strip, subwerged more than half the time, away south by the etone quar- rles there s no First streot. In the up- per portion of the eity, countlng from above the bridgs, thers is no First, Bec- ond, Third, Fourth and Fifth streets, woile the lowest street, numerleally sveaklug upon, which there are suy habi- tatlons is Fourth and that 1s down in the south end.
