Mr. Sparks’ ruling decided that a com- muted homestead was in effect a pre- emption, and that the commutation of a ‘homestead by a settler who had previously made a pre-emption filing, was a_second pre-emption and contrary to law.

We note that cedar block pavement is not even mentioned in the controversy. The Pio- neer Press speaks of two competing pave- ments, the Kerr wood block on concrete ‘base with bitunen sealed joints, and Trini- dad asphalt laid substantially as in Oma- ha, which it characterizes as the most beautiful, cleanly and healthy pavement fn the world. After the columns of praise which some Omaha papers bave devoted to cedar block pavements as laid in St. Paul, itis somewhat surprising to observe that the people of St. Paul have had quite enough of the wood block nui- gance. Mr. Bruner, who made a careful fnspection of St. Paul’s pavements under two feet of snow, ought to revise his opinion, Tue heavy purchase of stecl rails pabroad by American railronds is attract- fng attention east and will attract more when it is known that the poor quality of the rails furnished by Pennsylvania and Ohio mills is the on for the chang The New York correspondent of the London Economist makes the statement that a recent order of the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy railroad for 10,000 tons of steel rails wassentto England because fhere the company *‘received a guarantee a8 to qualil he adds that ‘‘other Amer- fean orders for rails have gone to the United Kingdom for the same reason, and more are being negotiated.” 'This is a fact, Tho competition of American rail makers anxious to make up the loss of profits caused by the heavy competi- tion is responsible for the trouble.

The struggle at Washington for the coming army vacancies is said to be par- tienlarly intense, Every colonel high up on the list is more or less interested in pushing his claims for advancement. he recent appointment of General Terry ®ver General Howard is taken as a hint that seniority is not a necessary qualification for promotion and that political influence discounts records in securing increased rank. The hotel swarming with officers and their fanilics. Every reception for the past two months nhas been a lobby in which “good wor for ~ pet candidates have been dropped into ears which were supposed to be near the nominating throne, senators and congressmen are Dbesioged with petitions and deluged with abstracts of official records, and the agony will continue until the final action of the senate upon the nominations puts This condition of affairs is a constant source of scandal at the capital. The strife for promotion and advantageous details i= only limited by th ancies where rank can be ig- nored under the regulations or favorites sclected for transfer from the frontier to bureau duty, recruiting service or d¢ on the staff. Promotion from a bri to a generalship means $2,000 a y crease in salary and & corresponding in- crease in perquisites. A brigadier gen- eral draws at least £1,000 a year more salar than a colonel and has the added advantages of staff duty and high commanda. The vacancies in the quartermaster and com- missary corps earry with them the ranks of a captain while those in the pay de partment entitle the holder to a major commission, In all these, promotion goes by favor and it is not surprising that s are anxious to seize every op- portunity to better their rank and pay even if the methods of the lobby must be used to secure the pr The fault lies in the system which in times of peace permits the disregard of rank and makes promotion & - gift rather than a vight. It is true that a rigid compliance with a regulation which made seniority the only qualification for ad- vancement might in some instances be detrimontal to the best interests of the servi but it could scarcely be as de- me ing to the army as the present system, which makes political influence or private favoritism the stepping stone to sucecess. Offlicers unfit for promotion should not be retained on the rolls. The regulations contain enough methods for disposing of improper material to purg the army if desired of men who are not capable of filling posts of increased rank. The courts martial and retiring boards are always available. Rank should carr with 1t the assurance of long and faithful service, not of persistent importunity and the methods of ward politics. — The Immigration Boom. Immigration is beginning to pour into southern Nebraska with the same steady flow that is carrying thousands into th northern section of the state. Car loads of immigrants and immigrant moveables are crossing the Missouri at Plattsmouth and moving westward over the B, & M. towards the frontier. The new counties of two years ago will be the old counties of two years to come. The present season promises another extension west- ward of the settled region many miles nearer the Rockies, and the peopling of a region from which the railrond company had little hopes of local traffic for years to come. Along the Republican valley homesteaders and preemptors are settling with remarkable rapidity upon table land and creek, fillingin the valleys and sproading out upon the hills and prairie lands be- yond. In the counties north and towards the central portion of the state the ov. flow from the B. & M. and Union Pa is already making itself felt, Northwestern Nebraska, too, will more than repeat her wonder record of last year's immigration. The country along the line of the Elkhorn Valley extension is receiving the advance of the coming inrush, ¥From Norfolk to the state line land hunters are already putting in an appearance for select sites for colonies and farms for eastern home hunters. The coming spring and summer will see the disap- pearance of much of the available gov- ernment land in this section of the state and a doubling of the population. ‘The most cheering feature of the pres- ent immigration is the sturdy and thrifty character of the new comers. Illinois, Ohio and Iowa are sending hundreds of their best farmers and farmers’ sons to seek free homes in our state and to build up new communities with industry and intelligence as the corner stones. A large proportion of the immugrants are in comfortable circum- stances, able to subsist until the soil furnishes them a comfortable living, and provided with enough ready funds to improve their claims and erect their houses, fences and barns. The school house and the church follow quickly in the wake of the home and store, and the nearness of the railroad has taken away one of the most disagr able features of frontier lifs fic Lenten Reflections, The Lenten season has come and for six weeks society will take a rospite from the gayeties and frivolities with which it has been surfeited during the winter. To many this will be the only signiticance of Lent, & physical fast from wearying activity, and an opportunity for recuj; ration from the effects of social excesses. 1t has been said that every orthodoxy and heterodoxy had originally business at the bottom of it, and when ecclesiastics were appointing days and seasons as typieal of the mysieries of the faith, they had a deeplying conviction that the ob- of these days would men physically, stir up emotion and sentiment and muke them readier to receive and to work for the spread of the doctrines that were taught them. However, this may be, saciety at large, irrespective of creed, has grown into a recognition of chureh days, perhaps not always as church days, and men of all creeds and no erceds now look with kindly interest upon Christmastide and Eastor, without inquiring too deeply into their religious origin and signifi- cance. Lent is the penitential season. the period of meditation, for inward com- muning, for self-examination, for self- sacrifice. Bociety &t large may benefit from such an wterval in the calendar and religious year. If the sacrificos made are those by which others profit, if solf-denial to ourselves means a more cheerful life tojthose to whom deniulis an help every-day necessity, If rest from social frivolities gives opportunities for activity i works of charity among the needy classes of soclety, no one will deny that there is a secular side ot Lent which all can encourage, and from whose opera- tion all may benefit. Just so far as the ions phuses of religions thought are identified with the life of the people, and bear an intimate relation to what affects the growth and prosperity of the state, they cannot be ignored by thinking men. Lent may be made not only a means of profit to the individual, but a season of profit to the community if its signifioance is understood in its broadest sense, secu- lar as well as roligions, as a time when sacriticos are made by which others pro- fit, and denials undergone which soften the misery of those whose lives are a series of the never-ending denials which want and poverty cnforce upon tiv The Core of the Trouble. Way behind all this labor trouble on the railroads lics the cancer of stock watering which is eating at the vitals of producers and shippers alike. This fact s at last dawning upon the corporation rers who have all nlong jeered at the nds of indeyiendent papers for hon- Ad manngement and fair rates. veland J.eader, which has never before been staggered at the abuses of railway management, has this to say of the strike on the Gould lnes: “There will be few, indeed, to sympathize with the Gould roads in the sonth- west in thoir present tronbles with the Knights of Labor. These corporations have a very bad reputation for false re- ports, tricky management, manipulation of securities and finances, and last, but not least, for ill usage of their employes. As a warning to other offenders of similar character, and as a just rebuke to general cussedness, the defeat of the companies at all points would be hailed with satis- faction by the public.” Down in Kansas City, where traffic to the southwest is paralyzed by the troubles on the Missouri and Texas Pacific, the Z'imes, while deprecating the strike as damaging both to the business interests and the workingmen in it. strikes the key-note of the whole matter when 1t says: ‘‘The policy of the Gould compan- 1es does not attract much sympathy from the public. They are constantly at- tempting to pay dividends upon heavily watered stocks. The patrons of the roads and the employes have to contrib- ute a frightful tax for this purose. It is well known that on all the Gould roads the one aim in dealing with employes is to get all the w possible out of the least money. Officials know they will be sustained in almost any action fair or foul which grinds down wages and squeezes out more work.” There is no doubt that the walk: 10,000 men to redress an ind grievance is a resort to force hardly w ranted on its face. If no other question were involved in this trouble it would be very much like firing cannon ata fly. When probed to the bottom the discharge of one man was only the last straw to break the camol's back. There have un- doubtedly been grievances docp-seated and of long standing, and the pent-up fecling of underpaid and over-worked wage-earners has found vent in the pre- sent difficulty. But back of it, as the core of the trouble, lies the rotten man- agement, which has piled up mountains of fraudulent debt and erippled the roads 50 that fair treatment to their employes and the public through good wages and fair rates means bankruptey to the cor- porations, Industrial Enterprises. The announcement is made that a com- pany has been organized in Omaha for the purpose of erecting a canning factory with a capacity of 500,000 cans to start with., The company is composed of well- known business men, who have ample capital to successfully carry on the enter- vrise. Itis just such enterprises as this that contribute to the wealth, prosperity and population of the city, and we can- not have too many ot them. What we need is a variety of industrial establish- ments that will give cmployment to large numbers of working people. There is plenty of room and there are excellent opportunities in Omaha for a great number of large manu- facturing establishments. Omaha can never hope to become a really great city until she affords opportunitics for the employment of large numbers of mechan- ics and workingmen, and this never can be done until we haye manufactures and industries of all kinds on an extensive seale. Itisa noticeable fact, however, that as a rule it is not the heavy capital- ists who invest in manufacturing and in- dustrial enterprises, but the men of mod- erate means, All the incorporators in the canning company, with one excep- tion, are men of moderate means only. We know of a dozen other enterprises in this city of which the same thing can be said, The heavy capitalists, with a very few notable exceptions, loan their money at 10 per oent on gilt- edge sceurities and seem to take little or no interest in the promotion of the public welfare, while men of limited capital are the ones who manifest public spirit and invest their funds in enterprises that aid in building up the city. The man who assists in ereating and carrying on a large industrial establishment is a public benefactor, and what we need is more of such men, Dr. WiLLiaM A. HAMMOND says that work, amusement and sleep‘are of equal importance to a man’s well-being, and he adyocates, both as a physician and as an aunthor, the taking of eight hours for each of these pursuits. Eight hours a day, he insists, are enough for any man to work. This may all be true enough, and it may apply to everybody but newspaper men whose profession seems to demand that they shall work from sixteen to eighteen hours & day. however, the genuine newspaper man considers his work mere amusement, and hence perhaps after all ho complies with Dr, Hammond's formula. 5 n Weaver has intro- duced & bill to regulate telephone charges in the District of Columbia.

THERE is a secession movement on foot among extra-select members of the braska editorial association which will culminate in a riot, unless the governor calls out the militia.

Chicago 3 s The extraordinary striko on the Gould lines demonstrates the necessity of en- forced arbitration between common ear- riers and their employes. In this instance a trivial dispute between two employes in a car-shop has resulted in a striko in- volving nearly 10,000 men and a suspen- sion of traflic on 6,000 miles of railroad. The controversy is not merely one b tween the railroad companies and their employes. Already large manufacturing establishments along the lines affected aro preparing to cease operations, dis. charge their hands, and wait until the embargo on traffic is removed. In the district where the strike provails i bears directly on farmers, manufacturer merchants, drovers, dealers, traveler: mechanics, laborers and in fact all class- es of the community. If it continues any length of time business will be deranged, contracts made incapable of execution, and thousands greatly injured in their means of support. The strike represents simply a demoralizing social war, which, if not bronght to & speedy end, will in- flict irretrievable injury nds of business and every class of people in the southwest. It is a disgrace to the law thatsuch a state of affairs is possible and that the authorities are not required to treat it as n conspiracy against the pub- lic welfare. It may be admitted thatthereare gra difficulties in the way of enforcing arbi- tration in pr wess, but such guments have no application in the cs of common carriers who are chartered | the state to operate lines of commer and travel for tl o and conyen- ience of the publi the duty of the state to provide means of travel and traf- fic for the people, and in order to pe form this function it delegates the sov- i, vower of eminent domain to corporations.

Bearing in mind thatarailroad is noth- ing more nor less than an improved pub- lic highway, the government should be bound to see that it is open at all times to the use of the people. For this pur- poso tho luw should requirg all dissatis, ied employes engaged in the service of companies transporting persons or property to present their grievances to a competent court of equity, which should investigate promptly and render a judgment binding on both parties. t would be well to forbid any company tv employ & person who would not sign’ a stipulation pledging himself to submit to_this method of settling rievances. The corporation shoul e forbidden to cut down wages,lengthed the hours of labor, or impose other re- quirements on its employes without first etting their consent or the approval of the court of arbitration. It might be well to require all employes desiring to quit the service to ;fiive thirty, sixty or ninety days’ notice—the notification to be regarded ns a resignation presented in advance of the time for it to go into ef- fect. This requirement might be optional with the corporation, _since it would be needloss to insist on it in the case of the individual,but it could be used where workmen entered into combina- tions to stop the running of trains. The law should provide a speedy, impartial method of settling disputes between com- mon carriers and their employes, and parties should be compelled by force if necessary to accept it. This is wl the public mterests demand, and it _should not require many more strikes like that on the Gould lIines to bring it about.
