SECRETARY ENDICOTT and General Sher- idan both endorse General Manderson bill for the removal and rebuilding of Fort Omaha. There is nothing surprising in this. The move is & good one and com- mends itself to every one. The only ques- tion is one of appropriations. Can they be secured from a democratic house? While bills of urgent necessity for re- building and strengthening our frontier posts are delayed in their course,the pros- pects for the Fort Omaha measure do not seem of the most flattering nature. AmoNG the officers soon to be re i Capt.dJ. Scott Payne, Fifth cavalry, “the hero of Milk River.” Capt. Payne had the distinguished good fortune to es- cape from the Utes through the assis ance of Capt. Dodge’s colored troops, who with their glittering sabres carved a way out from the hole in which he was caged. Capt. Payne has been more sue- cossful as a politician in Washington, where s record has been ‘“'revised’ several times by act of congress, always to the detriment of brother officers, than he has been as a soldier. Ho ought to have been retired on general principles S0me years ago. Tue effort of the department of agri- culture to protect the farmers from swindlers and frauds may be commenda- ble, but it strikes us that itis entirely a superfluous work on the part of the de- partment in view of the fact that news- papers are the first agents to expose frauds of all kinds. The intelligent farmer generally takes three or four good newspapers, and therefore keeps himself posted on all the news of the day, including the latest tricks of the swindlers who make a specialty of ut- tempting to defraud farmers. The ignorant farmer, however, will continue to be swindled notwithstanding the ef- forts of the newspapers and the depart- ment of agriculture in his behalf. A LATE spring bas hampe) extent the pronnsed activity of Omaha, Cold winds and bleak skies dampen en- terprise as well as depress enthusiasm. With a foot of snow on the ground in April and an inch of ice in the gutters, plans for building and schemes for indus- trial extensions are apt to be laid away ina warm place for the return of sun- gaine, Still, for all that, Omaha is boom- ing, advancing with u steady growth in real estate values, in permanent popula- tion and in daly accossions to the list of yisiting men of ‘means, ready and anxious to plant their money where it will bring in large and certain returns on the investment. The croakers have had theiwr turn dur- ing the winter. Springtime and sunshine will give opportunity for lh_ energy of our men of push snd enterprise, who see in our prosporous city a fitting field for their activity. o yours have changed Omaha from a town of mire and rat and wooden shells to a city of brick and stone, ot well payed streets and handsome busi- mess houses with prospects second to those of no other community in the great section which she is making tribh- tary to Ler resources. She has all the nataral elements nece: y for a great [ wmetropolis. She has tho citizonship and the territory and the solid busis of a popu- 9 Jution of seventy-five thousand souls. 1f the signs do not fail, Omaba's boow is only in its bud.

The election of four out of six republi- can councilmen and the entire school board ticket is a significant victory. It assures republican supremacy in the city council for the next year and prevents the democratic bosses from converting al ma- The contest was short, sharp and The republicans from the out- set wete at a disadvantage with regard to thesinews of war which were furnished lists who are at the head of the democratic party. The packing-house carried the First ward in which it is located, and a free supply of whisky and dollars of our daddies did the business in the Third ward, but the rest of the city, in spite of democrats masquerading as citizens and independ ents, who were anxious to serve Mr. Boyd, refused (nqurn-n*-r itself to the unlimited control of the P. H. mac hine result will be hailed with general ‘tion by all classes of citizen The Closing Strike, 1f tha results of the strike on the south- western system of railroads are not what its leaders and their followers hoped, they must lay the blame at the door of the men who have committed the long series of blunders which have attended its course, It was a blunder in the first place, as all level headed laboring men now admit, that the strike was ordered bo fore any attempt had been made to settle the existing difl . e blunder, in the next place, that organized labor throughout the whole region made in extending the scope of the strike on insuflicient information of its eauses and without reference to cooler heads. It was anustake in the last place that hot- headed district leaders in not checking at once the first outbreak of violence on the part of the few evil in- climed men who damaged property and committed nets of wlessness. Publie sympathy was naturally with the weaker side, although the indircetly-affected pub- lic could not be expected to understand all the points at issue. Just aslong as the strike was carried on without violence weight of public opinion was on the side of organized labor. But it cannot be denied that the has come a a revulsion of feelin, since tl last hope has departed that the dispute would be amicably settled by peaceful ar- bitration. Now that trains are again moving and vacant places are filled to within a fourth of the entire number, it is plain that the strike is practieally ov 1t should be so accepted. The honor: Dble and manly course for the knights to pursue is to recognize the uselessnessof a further protraction of the struggle. Let them obtain what concessions they ean, and make a record for the order by sup- pressing every attempt towards violence and anarchy. There is such a thing as a al defeat more creditable than a dearly purchased victory. An Incflicient Majority What has it done? It has been in ses- sion tour long months. The warm season is approaching, when a large portion of its members will be devoted to keeping cool in every other place but in de Less than a half dozen important bills have passed both houses and ved the exceutive sanction, The appropriations are weeks behind the ord, the navy reorganization bill still hangs fire, the silver question is skulking in the lobbie afraid to show its face on the floor in hon- ost daylight. Where is the promised re duction of the tariff, the measure toput in freo Moxican reciprocity, the bankruptey bill, and a score of other promised measures of legislation? Ask Colonel Morrison, Mr. Carlisle, and the bulwark of protected monopolies, Sam Randall. The incfliciency of the present house of representatives beats the rec- ord of democratic stupidity. Its member- ship has introduced 7,000 bills, and so has stopped with their introduction. Whate important work in the way of legislation has been accomplished has been due to the senate initiative. The presidential succession bill went throug] by & lucky chance, but the Hoar electoral count bill, the Edmunds Utah bill, the Dakota bill, the Sioux reservation bill, and the Indian severaity bill are still buried in the committee rooms of the house. 1tisa poor record, revealing in startling colors the inferiority of the democratic majority, and the inability to sink the rivalries of factionalism in the interests of the public which has elected it topower. Legislation is impeded, val- uable time is wasted in yalueless discus- sions, and every consideration of public necessity is brushed aside from the path of party expediency. The Business Situation, The general tone of business through- ont the country has been dull during the past woek, The situation, as a whole, shows the restraming effect of the labor troubles, and conservative trading in all lines is likely to continue until the more important labor strikes now disturbing confidence in comm al and manufac- turing circles come to an end. The business failures in the United States for the first quarter of 1886 number 8203, with liabilities slightly over $§20,000,000. The failures for the first three months of 1855 numbered 8658, with liabilitic of $16,000,000. 1he liabilities for the quarter- ,000,000—are less t i similar period since 1872, The decline in the middle states is very marked, the lia- bilities for the first quarter of 1886 b #6,830,000, us compared with §17,71 in the first quarter of 1885, and $18,000,000 for the first quarter of 1831, The textile markets continue inactive. Cotton is dull and wool stagnant. The dry goods trade is reported as moderate- ly active, with staple cotton goods steady at last week's prices, and prints a fow fractions lower than when last noted Th iron trade situation is quiet. There ave indications of a large demand as soon as the labor tronbles reach a settle- ment, but for the present buy to hold off as much as possible 'S fow large contracts are being placed in departments. Speculative influences in the wheat market have been pretty evenly bal- anced, and neither interest has gained much advantage from the week ments. One of the largest fleets of v: ever eleared from lake ports is alre loaded with grain at Chicagoand in r ness to sail when navigation opens, about the middle of the month. Itis said that 800,000 bushels of spring wheat have been purchased in Chicago for shipmeut to New York, and the bulk of this is probu bly sold for export. This business and the growing political complications abroad haye contributed to check the de- cline in prices, and would, doubtless, have been used as a lever to advance the market but for the counter effect of the labor troubles, the hardening of rates for money and the encouraging crop news. The weather been very favor able for the growing crop, and trade authorities generally represent its condi- tion as much better than at this time last year. The export outlook is more promis ing because of the continued firmness of foreign markets and the prospect of an early cheapening of transportation rates by the resumption of shipments over the water routes from the inter Corn supplies have increased a little in spite of the freight embargo in the southwest, and the goneral sentiment of operators has continued bearish in anticipation of a much larger movement after the settle- ment of the strikes, as farmers are gen- erally disposed to market their corn freely at current pric The Knevals Bill Passed.

Omuha can be made an important manu- facturing cent; It is becoming so in spite of past indifference. Its shops and smelting works and a hund smaller enterprises form a large part of the solid Dasis of our present prosperity. Steady and well paid employment means a steady growth in afcontented’and thrifty popula- tion. A larg: e fund is distributed in every channel of trade, building up the commercial importance of the city and showing itself in the growth of private improvements. The board of trade will hold an important meeting this week to discuss and perfeet plans for the encour- agement of manufactures. Every seat should be filled and every member present. m At the municipal election i Cincinnati on Monday the republicans made unex- pected gains, and claim a majority of about 8,000, ‘This is the result of keoping ballot box stuffers and thugs away from the polls and permitting an election to be conducted honestly. Loafers were not permitted inside the flags posted one hundred feet from the polls, the saloons were closed, and the judges and clerks were sober and decent men.

This mucl is due to the people of Nebraska regardless of politics: itis due to republicans, “Tam hete as their representa tive to vote for them, and they should be fairly advised, to know whether they have been properly represented, You will remember Mr. Edmunds submit- ted a report and four resolutions from the ju- diciary committee, They would have been considered in sceret session had not tae sen- ate by a small vote ordered their considera- tion in open session, I voted, and the Record will show that Tvoted for the report and all the resolutions except the third. The report fully states the issue between the president and the senate, and the first resolution merely declares the adoption of the report, The sccond resolution censures the attor- ney general for withholding the papers, “under whatever influence.” Believing t the administration should furnish the p: in all cases requiring action by the senate, I voted for this, confident that in so doing 1 was fairly representing the peovle of Ne- braska, The third resolntion merely declared tha in cases where the executive refused th papers, the senate, binding itself in ad- vance regardless of the necessities of the service, the propriety of the ehange. or character of the appointment, should reject the nomination. 1t was the declaration of an iron rule of action in all such cases, and a rule which the future will show eannot pos- sibly be applicd. Some senators who voted for that resolution stated that they could not be bound by it. I feel also equally confident my vote against thisresolution will meet the approbation of a large majority of the people of Nebraska. The refusal of the administration to do its duty as the senate resolved it ought, couldbe no reason or ex- cuse for refusal on the part of the senate to discharge its own duty. Already some of the men who voted for that resolution have seen the folly of it, and the senate itself, in seerel session, has disr rded it. The fact that it eannot be put in shows it was a farce to adopt it If enforeed, the spectacle would be presehited of the president and the senate of the United States making faces at each other.
