Ry the way, what has become of that other bridge company? —— Tis only thing that is likely to delay Mr, Brunner's confirmatfon s the en- thuslasm of the Republican. A 6oop many bricks are belng planted in Omaha thene fine days, and the crop of bulldings this reason promises to equal that of last year. THE corn crop and the crop of candl- dates are ripening fast. The former Is conaldered beyond the danger line, but many a candldate will be nlpped in the bud by the primary election frost.

Dovaras street is moving ahesd in the matter of sidewalks, It Is fast taking the travel from Farnam stroet, and un- less the properiy owners on tho latter thoroughfars improve their sidewalks there will bo mora walklng as well as drliving on Douglas street. Every time theras 1s a litile one-horee internationsal row in Europe the American papers with one accord begin to talk about a war.cloud, The wish 1s father to the thought. 8o far, however, the war- ¢louds have rolled by, and that minlature speck which now appears in the eastern horlzon over Roumella will probably fol- low suit. TaE tardy call of the republican county commlttee 1s looked upon as an attempy to prevens the country precincts from belog properly represented. The com- mittee s to meet a week from Saturday, aud by the time its call for the primarles and conyentlon reaches the farmers the conventlon will have been held. It is a good deal like an imvitation we recelved yesterday to attend the opening of the new chamber of commerce in Denver on Tuosday last, 4 Some people have queer idess con cerning the prevention of cruelty, as was shown by an incident in thls city yes- terday. Two tender-hearted gentlemen had thelr sympathies aroufied In behalf of a horse that was being abused by a man whom they considered a brute, and thereupon they turned in and gave the follow & most bratal pounding about the head. They seemed to think that almoat killiog a man was nothing com- pared to the abuss of a horse. They slmply put themselves on the samelevel with the man whom they maltreated. Tae Philadelphia Record draws avery bright ploture of the present Industrial sitastion, as follows: The army of idle labor is decreasing every day. Reports from western industrial centres show a marked improvement; wages are steady in most employments, At this season work falls off in & fow branches, but thero is a bet- tor prosp:ct in general than there bhas been slnce the opening of spring, Theiron trade is improving. Within thirty days a dozen or more mills that have been idle for months startod up, The bar mills are busy, bridge ‘works are crowded, carpet wills have orders ahead to keep them busy for three months, knitting mills are doing well, cloth manufac- Surees are preparing for next spring's trade, and bat and cap makers have h d a good year, Tae statement of commissioner Sparks, of the general land office, regarding the dlsposals of public lands and the recelpts therefrom shows that the total number of wcres dlsposed of durlng the year ending June 30, 1885, was 20,113,663, total number of entrles 225,382, total value $7,686,114, pumber of original home- stead eniries 22,066, Including 3,082,679 acres, Dakotaleads the list with 4,547,749 aores dlsposed of during this perlod, while Nebraska comes next with 3,608, 381 mcres; Kansas third, with 3,030,046 acres; Californla fourth, with 1,295,909 acres; Montans fifth, with 1,112,140 mores; Mont :na territory sixth, with 1,112, 140 acres, and Washington tevrltory eeventh with 1,016,117 acres, All the other states and territories are consld- erably helow 1,000,000 in the nomber of acres disposed of dur- fog the year, These figures show how fast the public domain is belng taken up, and it will be only & few years when all the government land adapted for agrloul- tural purposes will be owned end occupled by private par- ties, The figuzes also show how fast Ne- braska Is belng settled up. It is evl- dent that all who want to secure a home- stead In this rich and prosperous state esnuot delsy much longer, THE OH10 CHMPAIGN. The state campalgn in Ohlo Is drawlng to a close. The election takes place on Taesday, October 4, lees than two weeks from to-day. Ever since 1856 Ohlo has gone republican In a presidential year, giving majorities rangiog sll the way from 7,616 to 60,065, but In the oft-yesrs 1t has not been quite ro sure, although in the maln the republicans have been victorions at atate eloctions. Just at this time the vote of Ohlo In presidential yeara since 1856 may prove an interesting study. Ohlo, it should be borne In mind, holds ita state elections In October, and therefore In presidentlal years it has two electlons—the state election In October, and the presidential in November. The stato and presidential votes are as follows: Ropublican Democratic Major- ity. 10,8 THE DAILY BEE-~ RIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1885, plainant az:'gned his stock to the Unlon Pacific railroad company, while by the wecond he raleased the trustees from all errors or mlsoondaot arlslng out of thelr administration of the trust. There was also sot up an sgreement betweon the Unlon Pacific and the Oredit Moblller for glving up the clalms of the latter In consideration of certaln promises or obll. gatlons on the part of the former. The court deoid as that the releazos conatitute a valld bar to the sult, as It was man- ifestly the Intentlon of the parties that all complalnant's rights In the Oredit Moblller ttock and dividends should be assigned, and that this plea was bad for dupllelty. So It seems that the Oredit Mobilier nwindlers osnnot after all be compelled to account for the money which they gobbled. SENATOR MANDERSON, of Nebrasks, as a member ot the committes on territories, has % | been makiog an investigation in Utah, s & 1864, Novembar, . 235,654 1668, Ootober. ... 867,005 1868, November, . 280,167 265,830 It will be seen that In presldential years the republicans of Ohlo have carried their state tlcket, In 1877 and In 1883, which were off yearr, the same as the present year ls, the democrats were vio- torlous, owlng to local fights and apatby among the republicans. Hoadly de- feated Foraker two years ago by a ma- jorlty of 12,629, but it was on a vote con- slderably below that cast In November, 1880. In the lattor year the republi- cans cast 375,044 votes at the prosiden- tial election and only 347,164 at the Oc- tober election of 1883, Here was a fall- ing off of 27,880, The democratic vote, through the importation and colonization of ballot box stuffers from other states, and the actlvity of the liquer interest, increazed 18,972, It it were possible that Hoadley’s in- crease was due to dlssatlsfied republican voters, which the Cleveland Leader says wos not the case, the republicans could still have carried the state by at lemst 9,000 majority, had its voters all been brought to the polls. That the republi- cans had a strong reserve vote in 1883 is shown by the fact that in October, 1884, they polled 391,697 votes, electing Robertson for secretary of state over Nowman, his democratlc competitor, by 11,242 msjority. In the following month of November the republicans polled for their natlonal candidates 400,- 082 votes againet 368,280 glyen by the democrats, the latter being defeated by a majority of 31,702, The Cleveland Leader in commenting on these figures and discussing the outlook, says: That the republicans are capable of carry- ing the state next month is an undoubted fact, The prohibitionista boast that they will poll fifty thousand votes this fall, of which two-thirds will bo drawn from the re- publican party and one third from the demo- eracy, While this is a foolish claim, no re- publican need be frightened even were it an an assured fact. A moments consideration may be given to this prohibitory bragga- docio. To begin with, the prohibition party has about ten thousand votes of its own. To poll 50,000 votes they must then win 40,000 from the republicans and demo- crats, If the former furnish two thirds and the latter one third, as claimed, it will leave the republicans 373,415 votes and the demo- crats 846,460, In this connection it may be said that the prohibitionists polled 11,069 votes for St. John last November, while 5,179 votes were cast for Butler, Blaine's msjority over all was 15,664, In view of all the facts it may be safely claimed that the re- publicans will carry the state in October. They have irreproachable candidates and every incentive to come out and vote, A NEW RAILWAY BRIDGE, The positive announcement that the directors of the Union Pacific have de- termined to replace the present railway bridge at Omsha with a more substantial structnra adequate to the demands of the constantly increasing travel and traffic, wlll be received with great satls- faction, not only by the pesple of Omaha snd Councll Blaffs, but by the publie generally, Acccrding to Manager Cala- way the new brldge will be a rallway and wagon brldge, with all the facllitles for a double-track roed and street rall- way travel, The cltizens of Omsha and the patrons of the railwsy do not cars whether the necessary facilities for travel and {raffic across the Mlssourl ere fur- nished by the Unton Pacific or any other company, Had the present bridge been bullt and operated In accordance with the intent of the charter there would have been no agitatlon for a competing bridge, It is to be hoped that the pro- jeot of a double track and wagon bridge 1s not a mere scheme to delay or prevent the erection of a competing bridge under the charter granted by the last congress. The cltizens of Omabta and Council Bluffs bave long suffered on account of the Inconvenient mode of communleation between the two cltles, The new bridge, which we are assured will be completed within two years, will certainly work a revolution In trade, ixaffio and travel that will contribute materlal'y to the welfare | H, and prosperity of both Omaha and Coun- cil Blaffs, If the Unlon Paclfic will now go to work In dead earnest upon the pro- posed bridge the people of Omaha msy forglve it for tome of the abutes they have suffered for twelve ycars, ——— A sUIT was somet!me ago brought in Boston to compelt he trustees of the Oredit Moblller to account for the $16,000,000 placed in thelr hands by the Unlon Paclfic, snd a few monthe sgo & demurer to the blll was overruled, but sustained fo part, it belng held that the defendants must answer. The other dey & Cedlslon was rendered upon certaln pleas in bar filed by defendants, the first of which set out the existence of two sgreements, by one of wbich the com- result of which he discloses that polygamy is a hydra-teaded monster, If this does not produce a thrill of surprise and excitement, th Senator Manderscn will bagin to doubt the power of novelty in the use of invective,—St. Louis Republican, The abova paragraph does Injustice to Senator Manderson, who lays no olalm to 2| the orlginallty of the term “*hydra-headed monster,” as will be seen by the follow- Ing extract from what he actually did ssy in a Bee interview: ‘‘There must be some leglslation of a most herofc and vig- orous character enacted to crush out the ‘hydra-hcaded monster,” ax it has so of- ten been denounced in editorial thun- ders.” Cor, Aspsarom Bamrp, assistant in- spectar general, has been appointed In- spoctor general, and promoted to the rank of brigadler general to fill the va- |, cancy caused by tho retlrement of Gen. Nelson H. Davis. Gen. Baird graduated from West Polat in 1849, and was ae- signed to duty In the Second artillery as second lleutenant. In 1861 he reached the rank of major and was assigned to duty as assistant Inspector general. In 1866 he was appointed lientenant colonel and at the time of his promotion to the the brigadierslip he was a colonel. In the war of the rebellion Gen. Balrd was o brigadier general and was brevetted msjor general, CoMMODORE ALEXANDER A, SEMMES, who dledat Hamllton, Virglnia, on Tues- dsy, was the commandant of the Wash- ington navy-yard. His retirement would have taken place in foor years, as he was 1o his fifty-elghth year. de was the brother of Raphael Semmes, of the pirate Alabama, and cams of a dlstingulshed southern family. Incommon with Ad- mirals Farragut and Stanley he remained loyal to the Union, although he was under susplclon for a long time. His war re- cord was excellent, though not brilllant, and he obtalned the rank of rear admiral Tae Swatara and Yentlo were overdue at Washington yesterday. They have not been heard from elnce they sailed from Key West. As they have cn board $10,400,000 In ailver it may be suzpected that they have fallen Into the hands of pirates.

One summer day, when labor was very scarce, the two were mowlag In the field, when seversl larks flow up, “Look at those blg cranes,” said the hired man, “Those sre not cranes; they are only lullu." replied the farmer, somewhat sur- rised. “If you don't eay that they are cranes I'll knock off work right now,” sald the hired man, As the farmer could not get anybody at that time to take the hired man’s place, he was obliged to yleld to the whim of the menial. ‘Yes,” sald the farmer, ‘I see now that they are cranes, but they are not big They are only half-grown Lot me hand cranes,” The bired man was satisfied with this concession, Some months afterward,the hired man still being in the employ of the farmer, the latter sald at dinoer one day, a8 he poured out a glass of water: **Here's some very fine boer.” “‘That's not beer; that's only water,” replied the hirod man, “If you don’t ssy it's beer you can tender your res'guation, for I don't want auy offensive partieans about the place,” The hired man knew very well that he could not get snother situation at that tlme of the year, so he tasted the water and cheerfully indorsed the administra- tloo, saylng: “Of conrse It's kear, but 1t hasn’t got much body to 11,” Haviog thus convinced the president that he was sound on the goore questicn the hirad man was allowed to retsin his position, e e ——————————————r— —————s Buatler's Wifs and Ambitton, Gath, “Is General sensiblifty?” **Ho hes sensibility, bat not a great deal of weaknets.

He had spent the earller por- tlon of his lifo In & hopaless minorlty and it was not good judgment, to say no more, to throw him back in the minozity, for everybody knows that Massachusetts 1s a republican state, and even Blalne, who was personally unpopular in that state, enslly carrled 1t by a large ma- jorlty,” Said I: “When did Butler finally leave the republican party?”’ “When Hancock was nominated for president he prepared a letter declarlug for Hancock.

But if he had remained in the republican party this very mugwump defection in Maasa- chusstts would have given him hls op- portunity. He could have brought into the republican party such a large demo- cratlc followlng as to fully compensate for those mslcontents, and s a regular republican he would have had but little difficulty in controlling the state. He could have gone to the senste at least.” Sald I: **Has General Butler any In- £ | terest in the Boston Globe?” “‘Yes,” ssid my Informant, ‘I under- stand that he and Jonas French, his for- mer staff officer, who s a democrat, and Jordan, Marsh & Co., the princlpal dry goods houee in Boston, own the larger portion of the stock.
