OMAHA, FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 5. 1886. NUMBER 20) GROVER VIOLATES PLEDGES @ocs Outside of the Distriot For a Successor to Fred Douglass. A COLORED DEMOCRAT GETS IT. The Blair Bill — Western Postal Changes— Weaver Succeeds in Deferring Consideration of His Case—Notes. Indignation in the Camp. WaAsnINGToy, March 4.—[Special Tel gram. |- A great deal of surprise was ex- pressed when it became known this after- noon that the presidenthad nominated James M. Matthews of New York to be recorder of decds for this city to suceeed the venerable Frederick Douglass, resigned by request. Matthews Is a colored man as well as Doug- lass, but the surprise and consequent indig- nation of the democrats as well as the repub- lieans here grew out of the president’s disre- gard of a provision in the platform adopted by his party at Chicago in 1884 to the t that oflices in the territories and District of Columbia should be filled by residents there- of. It was fully expected that to this offic one of the representative demociats h would be called, and when it was learned that a New Yorker was named the indigna- tion kuew no bounds. The president has re- peatedly trampled the pledges of his party under his feet in regard to territorial appoint- ments, but this act completely disgusts cvery- one, The selection of a colored man to sup- ercede Fred Douglass is reported by repre- sentative colored men as purile, and a weak subterfuge for displacing a republican and re- warding a demoerat. Hon. *“T'im" Campbell, the democratic mewmber from Brooklyn, when he heard of the appointment of Matthews as recorder of deeds, was standing in the lobby of the house and exclaimed, “What! another bloody nagar! to hell with the Irish seews to be the policy of this administration.” The office of recorder of deeds pays over £60,000 per ynnum. Matthews began life as Manning's bootblack, and every time Man- ning has risen in political life, it is strange but true, Malthews goes up a peg or two. WILL NEVER BECOME A LAW, The B air educational bill has drifted into abad position so far as its chances of suceess are concerned. The first vote on the meas- ure was reached in the senate yesterday and resulted in attaching a1 amendment to the Dill which will e ssits further pogress, and other amendments are pending, most of whieh, if ade p ed, will handicap the measure still more. Meanwhile, during the protracted debate on the bill, there has been considera- ble change in public feeling, both at the north and south, as to its expediency, so that even if it passes the senate it has a mueh reduced chance of favorable con- sideration in the house. A well posted reps 1 senator who is in ardent supporter of the bill said to-tay that the work upon the Dbill during the past forty-cight hours had so weakened it that he had no hope of its passage in the house. PERSONAL AND OTHERWI W. I1.

WEAVER HOLDING OFF. General Weaver, contestee in the Camp- bell-Weaver contested election froim the sixth Towa district, seems to haye fought off con- sideration of the case pretty successfully, It ‘was stated at the room of the house commit- tee on clections to-day that tiie day bad not yet been fixed for commencing argument. Mr. Campbell is urging the committee to take up and dispose of the case as quickly as possible, Weaver, however, has embraced every subterfuge to sec g IN IT3 INFANCY, s, In a letter to the stato de- partment from Birmingham, says: “No other arti of import from the United States into the midland countries of England approaches in magnitude and value that of beef and mutton, Enormous: as this trado has grown, when reasonable probabilities are rationally considered, it is yet in its infancy.

At the expiration of the morning hour Mr. Cannor, moved to lay asido the pension af propriation bill for e purposo o taking up the urgent deliciency bill. Mr, Cannon stated that the object of his motion was that the de- ficlency bill might be immediately passed in order that work at thenavy yards, which had been stopped, might be resuined, and that the men who had been thrown out of employ- ment might again obtain worlk, “The house refus s 103, noes 148—to proceed to the cousideration of the deficiency bill, and went into committee of the wholeé, Mr. Crisp in the chair, on the pension appro- priation biil. ‘The debate was continued by Messrs, Ryan, Burrows and Hammond, Mr. Henderson took the floor and said, did the gentlemen expect that with the report from Commissioner Black—which had been conceived and published with no other motive than to make it a democratic cam- paign document—a man of honesty, with the spirit of courage, would allow it 0 pass un- noticed on_ this' floor?

Riddleberger in private explained more fully what i 5- olution meant, It was aimed directly against Stilson Hutehins, editor and proprietor of the Washington Post, the oflicial organ of the Cleveland reform administration, ~Hutchins, it seems, is given access to the senate floor as the private secretary of Senator Ransom of North Carolina, who is a reformer of the deepest dye. Some insinuations were thrown out that as $6 a day was nothing to Editor Hutehins, it reverted back to his employer, but these were probably unfounded. = Riddle- berger, however, was pointed and direet in saying that Ransomn had made Hutehins his private secretary solely that the editor of the democratic national “administration organ might more effectually lobby for the Eads ship raillway. It has frequently been re- marked that this scheme finds very great tavor with senators and representativés from the southern states, The eviden of a powertyl inside lobly have alse been vory plain, though the lobby itself has been an entangible quantity, Riddleb disclosures may serve to locate it. Itis con- d a nice e of things when the demo- reformers are admitted to the floor of the senate to lobby for a project of very doubtful repute.

Thestrike of the employes of the Dry Dock road continued unchanged this morning. About 1,000 of the strikers were congregated about the stable and oftice, but the presence of a large foree of police kept them in order. The police cleared the street in front of the office and kept the crowd in continued motion, Rumor pre- vailed of a threatened strikeon other street- car lines, but so far none have taken place. Tt is proposed some time during the day to run a ear over the Dry Dock route, A reserve foree of police from all precinets below Fourteenth street was detailedto guard the street car stables this morning. About 11:50the police superintendent visited the secne and an hour later he issued an order calling the remaining policemen on the re- serve in the station houses above Fourteenth street to reinforce the men already at the stables.

Its appearance was hailed with derision by hundreds of men in the streets Police Inspector Steers mounted the plat- form beside the ariverand the car started. The police cleared the way until Lewis street was reached where the first obstruction was reached in the shape ot a car of the Forty- second street line, which had been placed across the track. Behind it two trucks were standing and a little way beyond a load of coal had been dumped on the track, Another carof the Forty-second street line camo along and was driven over the pile of coaland also turned across, the - track. 1t was greet- ed _with cheers, They sprang into the street and every wagon that came along was tured and turned across the ti rses were unhitehed and driven awa o flourished their clubs, issued th in.

The switch plates were taken away and further on a pile of bricks and building poles were on the track, The contest was practically over at this point, and orders were issued to start to the stables. The strikers were good- natured and chaffed the policemen, but went about their work in a way that showed that they were organized. At Nargin street the strikers tore up several eurb stones and placed them on the track. Another attempt will be made to start 3 car later this after- noon. The board of police to-day received a letter from the railroad company” asking for police protection for their cmployes and proporty. ‘The Crosstown line made another attempt this afternoon to resume operations, At 1:30 p. m. the police reserves were called to the eastern terminug of the Grand street line.

Here fully 50,000 peopls were gathered as spectators. Hissing, ™ hoot- ing and yelling was continuous, and stones continued to drop among the'escort. At Wooster street a pile of brick fell as the car was passing amd stopped it This was re- moved. Another barricade was met and re- J woved amid the howls of the workwen. As the were s the track. car went toward the North river, the factories on either side poured out their thousands of employes, who met the police with ro- proaches.” West street was the last barricade of coal wagzons, beer wagons and logs. At Desbrosses street a load of coal was dumped on the taack, When the end of the route was reachea, the men were allowed a rest of ten minutes after the terrible march. "They then returned over the same route to the stables. Very few obstacles were offered to their progress during the trip. Both ways the car was_obliged frequently to change from one track to the other, The strikers yelled and hooted, but did not obstruct the way to any extent until the Bowery was reached. There there was an- other barricade, but it was soon removed, and then it was clear to the stables, which were reached at 5:30 p. m.

It isa well assured , reports to the contrary notwithstanding, that no schemo of land or home rule legigla- tion has yet been formally discussed by the cabinet, though Morley's virtual admission that he expects the defeat of the government, dissolution of parllament and an appeal to the country as a result of the presentation i the house of commons of Gladstone’s Irish policy, would indicate that the premier's in- tentions ave pretty woll understood by one of his colleagues, at least. LoxvoN, March 4,—The Parnellites have decided to array themselves against the tories in their attempt to force the government to show their hands on their policy during the debate which is expected to begin to-night on the civil service estimates. The conserva- tives have arranged to interrupt the govern- ment's proposition to go into committee on the civil service estimates by an amendment. declaring that the house was unwilling to en- tertain estimates for elvil establishments in Ireland before being placed in possession of the policy which the government intends to pursue for the restoration and maintenance of social order in the country. It was caleu- Inted that if this amendment was carried the government would be oither blocked or cori- pelled to divulge thelr intentions. Parnell has therefore resolved to go to Gladstone, The Irish leaders are satisfied that in view of the premier’s promise to state his Irish policy after Mareh 23, “at which date he ex- pected to be through with the government’s finaneial bu lie is entitled to bé pro- ance on that issue until after the expiration of the time asked for, Aecordingly the Parnellites this afternoon resolved to” oppose inw body the Holmes amendment.
