The Pacific coast is now rising n indignation over the operations of the Standard Oil monopoly which has fastened the coils around that section by the use of the same methods which have proved so successful in its capture of the oil markets of the east. Vanderbiltonce remarked that the only man who had ever dictated terms to the New York Central was Rockafeller, of the Standard Oil company. Leland Stanford, of the Central Pacific, ean probably say the same about his own monopoly. It is noted as a remarkable fact that notwithstanding the tremendous war of rates now waging between the transcon- tinental roads the Standard Oil octopus is still enabled to maintain its monopoly on the coast. According to the San n- cisco Chromicle, the Standard Oil com- pany has hal a special agreement with the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad ever since 1875, by which it has been cnabled to ship from its works to the Pacific const at 10 cents a barrel less than the rates charged to other shippers. Afte, the Transcontinental association was formed, the diserimina- tion was increased so as to give the Standard people a close mon opoly on all petroleum products. The rate given to the Standard was low- ered to 724 cents a hundred while other shippers were charged a uniform rate of £1.20. Before the abrogation of the special contract system local shippers were able to compete in a small way by loading clipper ships at the Atlantic sca- board and sending them around Cape Horn. This competition, although not extensive, was a thorn in the side of the Standard Oil company, so an arcange ment was made whereby it was under- stood that Sutton & Co., and Van Vleck & Co., who practically control the shipping interest via Cape Horn to San Francisco from New York and Philadelphia, were to refuse to take any ned oil or product of petro- leum which was not consigned to the Standard Oil company. These stipula- tions formed part of a tripartite contract between the railroads, the clipper shi and the oil monopoly. This cont still in full for Barred out by rail, and virtually barred out by sea, indepen- dent oil men were forced to give up the fight. In addition to the monopoly in eastern oil, the Standard company con- trols the product of the Pacitic coast. At the last meeting of the Transcontinental association, the traflic managers pledged themselves to maintain the oil rates with discriminationsin favor of the monopoly, 80 the rate war has not affected the supremacy of the Standard Oil company. The Army Changes. General Howard leaves this week for new command at San Franc General Crook may be e few d; in Omaha. has already assumed command of divi- sion headquarters at Chicago, and Gen- eral Schoficld has taken his arture for New York. These changes complete the transfers resulting from the aeath General Hancock and the retirement of neral Pope. The assignments of the new brigadiers have not yet been made. It is generally understood that General Ruger will remain in the department of the Missouri and that General Potter will be sent to succeed Generul Terry at Fort Snelling. The transfer of regiments usual at this time of the year affocts only one in the Department of the Platte. Colonel Car- lin and his command, the Fourth infan- try, will exchange with the Second, now in the Department of the Columbia. Thi; will remove the garrison now at Fort Omaha to the Pacific coast. It is not yet certain that a rearrangement of com- mands in the Department of the Platte will not be mado upon the arrival of the Second. Colonel Morrow, of the Twent; first infantry, is anxious to remove his headquarters to Omaha, and many who know that genial gentleman and brave old veteran are equally anxious that his wish should be gratified. The oflicers of the Ninth, which is now in Wyoming, with headquarters at Fort Russell, are greatly disappointed that the order to change did not include their regiment, whose long continued ser- vice in the department gave them ¢l for consideration, Colonel McCook, of the Sixth infantry, now in command at Fort Douglas, is spoken of us the successor of General Ruger at the school of application at Fort Leavenworth, to which point he will probably transfer two of his com- panies to take the place of an equal number to be relieved under forthcoming orders. It is stated that these areall the changes of regimental stations which may be expected this spring, as the approp: tion available for the purpose is v limited. Boyd and Bechel. Before the city election Boyd's highest ambition was to get a council which would do his bidding. Afteradesperato effort, withan enormous outlay of money, Mayor Boyd's scheme to capture the council proved a failure. When the f; became known that the next council would stand seven to five, Mr. Boyd publicly deelared that he would resign as mayor within four days. This was only aruse, as usi During his first term he made the same threat several times, but he did not carry it out, even though M Dailey, as good a democrat as he i would have become his successor. Now, Mr. Boyd's ambition is to down Mr. Bechel as president of the council. Within forty-eight hours after the eleetion, he sent two confidental messages to My, Cheney to induce him to become & can- didate for Bechol’s place. “You are a young man,” said these messengers of Mr. Boyd, “with a brilliant earcer be- fore you. We ean give you five demo- crutic votes for president if you can secure another republican to join you. As soon as you are elected, Mv. Boyd will resign, and you will become acting mayor for the next year.” 'This w a very tempting bait, but Mr. Cheuey is no sucker, and he refused to bite. Hav- ing failed with Cheney, the great boss centered his sctions on Mr, Goodman, He wanted Mr. Goodman to become president of the council in the interest of reform. Bechol's defeat woula vindicate him, Boyd, acd in a8 measure, at least, remove the sting from the late disaster. Now we do not believe that Mr. Goodman proposes to play monkey for Mr. Boyd. While he is competent for the position of president of the council, he is not vaiu enough to think that the honor and glory of the position would justify him in a course which would be regarded s political treachery. ‘What object ean Mr. Boyd have in inter- fering with the organization of the new council? Why should he meddle with the republican majority in its choice of a presiding officert Are the five demo- crats mere puppets, whom he can deliver at plensure to any man with whom he can strike a bargain? What object can he have except to foster discord and per- sonal enmities between members of the council and from the outset destroy their efficiency as a harmonious working body? With Mr. Boyd's personal spite against Mr. Bechel, the repbulican majority in the council certamly has no business So far as we know, the democratic mem- bers have nothing to complain of eith He has treated them fairl There is no excuse whatever for Mr. Boyd's uncalled- for interference, Tue pressing demand for houses to rent calls attention at once to the growth of the city and the necessity for increased construction of cheap residence blocks within the eity limits. Real estate has approciated so greatly within aradius of half a mile from the postoflice within the past five years that residence lots in the most desirable portions are almost beyond the reach of men of moderate means, and singlc houses standing ou full lots must be rented at high figures in order to pay a reasonable interest on the investment. There is room for fifty blocks of brick residences right now in Omaha. A hundred and fifty of such houses would find tenants at once if plced on the mark: Many clerks and business men are 5o situated that they cannot conveni ently reside at long distances from their places of business, especially where the nieans of transit are not good and the trips of the cars are made at long inter Omaha is largely a city of homes and it is desirable that she should remain so. Butthe renting class will grow lar- ger as the city grows and they must be accommodated. Brick blocks of con- nected residences near the business part of the city are a pressing need. Because they are in such active demand they will prove a handsome inyestment to capital who have money to plant where it will bring quick and steady returns. Tue original bill for the sale of the present site of Fort Omaha has been fav- orably reported to the senate, but there isno doubt that a substitute embodying uggestions we made recently would the senate as readily as the original Why not utilize the beautiful site of Fort Omaha for a military school, in- stead of cutting it up into town lots for the benefit of speculators? The buildings as they now &re would be bought for a mere song. The purchasers might con- vert some of them into stables and others into road hous The old headguarters, which cost $75,000, would at a forced sale command half the price of the bricks. Buu even that would only affect Uncle Sam. As far as Omaha is concerned, Senator Manderson confers no favor by removing the fort, unless he can substi- tute something better. A'military school on the site of the old fort would be a monument to him and a perpetual bless- ing to the citzens of Nebraska. Its main- tenance would take a mere trifle out of the state edueational fund, but its advant- ages can hardly be overestimated. £ is o disposition on tho part of the land grabbers to make more out of Seeretary Lamar's reversal of Mr. Sparks’ suspended entry order than the case war- rants. The reversal will not help di: honest men or make the way any easier for the voracious sharks of the corpora- tions. Duringthe year mn which the issue of patents has been suspended, Commis- sioner Sparks has been enabled to collect a large amount of testimony bearing on the entries in question which will greatly aid the land office in a final settlement of claims presented. Mr. Sparks has dono good service in reforming the land office out of the control of the corporations. For this he deserves all credit. Over- zealousness carried him perhaps to ex- tremes in dealing with private entries, and he made a mistake in allowing the innocent and guilty to suffer alike for such a length of time under his order of April 3, 1884, When issued the BEE ap- proved the measure as o temporary e pedient. When its continuance was be- gmning to operate to the disadvantage of settlers Seerctary Lamar acted wisely in terminating its limit. SENATORFRYE'S threat to precipitate a war between Great Britain and this coun- try if the eodfish question is not prompt- ly settled is a little previous. The public at large care little about the quarrel. ‘When we abrogated the treaty giving the Canadians the right to bring fish dut; free into our markets, we had no right to expect that the Canadians would receive our fishermen with open arms in Canada. Because the Kanucks decline to permit \ing smacks to land on their coast, hire crews and dispose of their codfish, there is no reason why Mr. Frye should stir up an international rumpus, There are codfish enough in the fishing banks of both nations. The hoggishn which charges the Canadians a 20 per cent. duty for the privilege of selling us fish caught in neutral waters under the pretense of protecting New England’s fisheries is not received with enthusiasm by the nation gencrally. Ihere need be no trouble if the reciprocity treaty is newed, If itis not, Mr. Frye and others of his kind have only themsclves to blame. VOLUNTARY arbitration, as proposed by Mr. O'Neil’s bill, recogmzes the prinei- ples of arbitration and forces it to the front, but the time is eoming when the law will insist that employers shall be compellod to meet their employes in a spirit of fairness and justice, whether they wish to do 80 or not.

Tur Bee publislids to-day in full from The Forum the admifable article of Andrew Carnegie entitled “The Labor Question as Viewed by sn Employer.” Mr. Carnogle, the millionaire manufacturer of Pittsburg, is one of the largest em- ployers of labor, and one of the most successful iron masters, in America. He has always been very liberal with his em- ployes, and has dono a great deal for the Dbenefitof workingmen ‘generally. He is indeed a model employer, and his views on the labor question will no doubt in- terest a large number of our readers. Notwithstanding his attitude as an em- ployer, he discusses the labor question from both sides, in & manner that ean not be considered otherwise than emi- nently fair., Mr. Carnegie in emphatic terms de- nounces strikes and lock-outs, as they are simply struggles of force against force, and ely result in anything but loss of time and money and the creation of bitter feclings. They vir- tually decide nothing beyond the tempo- rary strength of the contestants, Mr. Carnegie makes a strong argument in favor of co-oporation asa satisfactory so- Tution of the labor problem. By co-ope- ion he means the sharing of the profits by the employes to a certain extent. ystem already been introduced in some establishments, and found to give satisfaction. But there are difficulties in the way of the general adoption of this system in the immediate future. These obstacles are pointed out by Mr. Carnegie, who, however, expresses the belief that co-op- eration will some day generally prevail and will forever settle labor controver- sies. His argumenton this pointis based upon the proposition thatlabor and ital must go hand in hand and havi indissoluble union of interests to be emi- nently suceessful in any enterprise of any magnitude. For the present, however, Mr. Carne- gie strongly advocates arbitration as the best means of settling labor differences. s up his remedies for labor troub- as follows First—That compensation be paid the men based upon a sliding scale in proportion to the prices received for product, Second—A proper organization of the men to bo made, by which the natural leaders will eventually como to the front and confer freely with their employers, Third—Peaceful arbitration to be in all cases resorted to for the settlement of differ- caces which the owners and the mill commit- tee cannot themselves adjust in friendly con- ference. Fourth—No Interruption ever to oceur In the operations of tho astablishment, since the decision of the arbitrators wiil take effect from the date of referencey These views arorcertainly worthy of careful consideratign, as they come from a practical man :.mi adgep thinker. The advantages to be gained by these meas- would be that the employer and em- d would sharet prosperity or suffe adversity, and be in hearty sympathy with each other, and there would be an end of strikes and lockouts, This is in- deed a result that is;desired by both labor and capital Decidedly Cool, We admire enterprise; and do not ob- jeet to the boom which the Herald is giving to its Sunday edition, but itis de- cidedly cool and impudent for that paper to print in bold black letters the state- t that the Herald has a larger i any other daily published average daily circu exceeds 12,000, and its morning edition alone. on any day of the week, exceeds the cirenlation of the Sunday edition of the Herald.
