The peoples' savings banks arc constant premiums on thrifty accumulation and incentives to good citizenship. Mr. CLEVELAND is reported as intense- ly interested in home rule. He will put his ideas into operation sometime after the June roses are entwined with orange blossoms from the white house conserva- tories. — ACCORDING to the Republican, Senator Van Wyck “has gone and went and done it again” in assailing Jay Gould. The admiration of the Republican for Gould isonly equalled by its hatred for Van Wyek. OyAHA welcomes its old department commander, whose other name is Geo. Crook. Gen. Crook is once more among frionds, whose admiration for the soldier is not inferior to their respect for the simple, modest and genial citizen. Mz, GLADSTONE assures his party that he will decline to modify his Irish meas- ures in any particulars which will cut down the concessions to be granted to Ireland. If the grand old man goes down, he proposes to go down with all his colors flying. TaE Apaches are loose once more. Gen. Miles will now be given a chance to wina up the campaign as he promises —*“in short metre.” ‘‘Short metre’ in Arizona means iong marches, hard work and much fighting, distributed beiween the Indians and the Indian bureau. —— A rresa delogate from Washington Territory is astounded at discovering that the ex-members of congress use their position to lobby on the floor of the house.

The cable announces that Greece has finally yielded to the demands of the powers and that the reserves will at once be disbanded. This news, if confirmed, postpones for some time to come the irre- pressible outbreak in southeastern Euarope. The cause of the dispute, which promised to involve all the smaller states and to draw into the quarrel the first class powers of Europe, was the boundary line traced by the commission that metin Berlin in 1880. Some weeks ago the Greek premier claimed that when Greeee submitted to a frontier limitation considerably south of the one orig- inally proposed by the commission and rejected by Turkey, she reserved the right to demand the restoration of the frontier line previously suggested. This line would have left Greece a strategio frontier since it passes over the summit of Mount Olympus. The Greek govern- ment demanded this restoration in cir- cular notes addressed to her representa- tives at foreign courts last October, and as Turkey declined to make the conces- sion Greece prepared to fight for it. But the reopening of war in southeastern Europe was recognized by the powers as a calamity which must be suppressed at all Russia was known to be eagerly awaiting the first favorable chance to vounce down upon Tarkey in settlement of her old grudges, besides being creditod with a desire to rectify the Russian fron- tier inthe region of Bulgarin. War would offer an ample opportunity for the ac- complishment of these ends, and a gen- eral Buropean confliet in the struggle over the dismemberment of Turkey would have been the inevitable result. This was thereason for Mr.Gladstone's sudde change of front over the Greek frontier question, and for the warning of armed coercion in case Greece persisted in at- tempting to precipitate a conflict. They Decline to Follow. The hair brained editors and lunatic capitalists who are denouncing all labor agitations as communistic, should read and ponder over the remarks of workingmen's organs upon such demon- strations as have disgraced New York and Chicago recently under the red flag of so called social reformers. American workingmen, whether native or foreign born, have no sympathy with the flannel mouthed blatherskites who talk of red roin, the torch and sword as the means of advancing the in- terests of labor. American laborers and mechanics are not found in the herd who urge bloodshed and destruction of property as the remedy for social ine- quality. The men who live from such agitation have nothing in common with the honest and hard-working mechanics, who compose American iabor organiza- tions. The anarchist brigade is re- cruited from men who are too ignorant to know that foreign conditions of society and caste have not been trans- planted with them to our shores. They are too lazy to study a system which offers to every laborer and mechanic the royal right to ruise himself to prosperity through in- dustry and thrift. The laborers of to- day ure the employers of to-morrow. The mechanic working in our shops is the social and political peer of the capital- ist who employs him. He holds the peaceful weapons of toil and energy by which to make himself as important an ele- ment in society as any of our citizenship. If the blatherskites who picture this great republic as areflection of European monarchies had brains or decency they would know enough to know that the organized labor of America repudiates their rot and declines to join in their dia- tribes against social order. The most vigorous denunciation of anarchism and anarchis ts to-day comes from American laboring men and labor organs. A Union Depot. Two days ago it was hinted to our readers that the question of a union depot had been definitely settled. The plans have so far been perfected that General Manager Callaway' is now able to an- nounce to the people of this city, that work on the new structure will be begun before the end of the summer. The old cow shed through whose dingy arches the wind has whistled for so many years is to disappear. Near the dismantled walls will rise a building which will accommodate all the lines of railroad converging in Omaha. It is to be a union depot in fact as well a8 in name, a handsome, costly and con venient structure, adapted to the needs and corresponding with the growth and increasing importance of our city. Oma- ha will congratulate herself over this good news, which means so much to her material interests. For years she has suffered from the unfavorable impression which the present depot has created upon travelers and visitors. The incon- venience and delays of transfer across the bridge will be done away with. Trains for Omaha will run into Omaha and the city will become 1n name what it has been in fact, the actual terminus of a dezen lines of conyerging rails. In addi- tion to the union depot, the Union Pacific will build this summer a commodious and handsome freight depot of brick and iron covering a block with its arching roof and large enough to accommodate the the traflic of a great system. For years, in the words of Mr., Adams, Omaha thought that she could not get along without the Union Pacific; now the Union Pacific onn- hot get along without Omaha. A new management has made the discov- ery, and it proposes to act promptly upon it. The result will everywhere be hailed with satisfaction. It means many hundreds of thousands of dollars in the pockets of Omabs workingmen. It means a kindlier feeling on the part of citizens towards a corporation which for years has treated their claims with in- difference. It meuns, more than tlus, an increase in our transportation facil- ities and a large additon to the commercial importance of Omaha, Free speech is one thing, but incen- diarisin is quite another thing. Such an mflammatory and senseless speech as that delivered by Herr Most to a lot of idiotie anarchists and socialists on Sun- day last, in New York, is an outrage upon decency. Herr Most offers to fuin- ish s followers with breech-loaders and bayonets at ten dollars a vicce, and he calls upon them to rise and take “‘what belongs to them.” He tells them how to make and use bombs, and urges them to use petroleum for incendiary pur- poses. ‘'In one year,” says Herr Most 100,000 wmen could be armed, wd then e would seize the THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1886. capitalists by the throat. Wo will take all the meat, wine and vegeta- bles and champagne for ourselves. We will not help out any foolish trades union strikers. We want all. We will make war upon all capitalists and state and church, for they are all our cnemies.” Herr Most need not fear that the trad unions will ever ask the assistance of anarchists and socialists. They do not affiliate with any such element, and are in direct opposition to every sentiment uttered by such men as Herr Most. The workingmen'’s newspapers and their leaders are already denouncing in em- phatic terms the revolutionary and in- flammatory utterances of Herr Most, and they will unite with people general- ly in erushing out the dangerous element of anarchism and socialism, which, if allowed to run unchecked, will undoubt- edly result in mobs, bloodshed, and ruin in some of the larger citie Help the Boom Along. Omaha's “boom" is in sight. Itonly needs wise encouragement to sceure its appearance as a permanent fixture. tories and mills are seeking locations. New jobbing houses are preparing to add to our facilities for wholesale trade. Capital from abroad is - ment in rent-paying property. New de- pots, viaducts, a million of dollars m public improvements, an extension of transportation facilities, both in the city and through its suburbs into the state, are now sssured. Much wiil be done for Omaha during the next twelvo months. What do her citizens propose to do for themsclves? The time has come when all rivalries, jealousies and personal feuds must be laid aside. Hard and united work for the common inter- ests must be the order of the 1t is not cnough to vote liberal appropriations for public enterpri Private enter- ¢ must be stimulated and fostered by nee. Loud eries for manufacturers will do little good if ex- orbitant prices for manufacturing sites repel the advances of intending locator: Demands for a better class of buildings to line our streets are all well enough 1n their way, but the way to improve the appearance of our thoroughfares is to ercet such structures and thus start the ball which others will roll along. In many respects Omaha_is still far behind some of her less wealthy competitors. She has beautiful pavements and wretched sidewalks lining them. She has a complete system of sewerage and a suflicient water supply, with an insufli- cient supply of six and seyen story busi ness blocks and office buildings to accom- modate those who are anxious to rent them. The time is at hand when a long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether will force Omaha to the commanding po- sition which she is able to hold as the commercial metropolis of the trans-Mis- souri country. DEMOCRATIC orators in last fall's cam- paign pointed with pride to the reduced appropriations on which the government was being carried on. The fact that several millions less of dollars were voted last year than the year before to conduct the national administration was produced as evidence that previous re- publican administrations had been reck- lessly extravagant in their expenditures. We called attention at that time to this talk as mere bumcombe, and predicted that large deficiency bills would be asked for before the close of the year. Up to the present time $7,000,000 have already been demanded, and the indications are that fully as much more will be called for before the close of the session. Cutting down approvriations at the beginning of the fiscal year isa very cheap way of making temporary political capital. But such sham economy loses its effect when deficiency bills at the end of the session are passed to make up the original sum demanded. The pre- dicted Jeffersonian economy of the present administration, which was to show in such marked contrast to the expenditures under republican regimes, has not materialized up to the present time. The outrageous frauds and wild extravagance which was to have been ex- posed to the light of vublicity are yet to put in their ap- pearance. A year has been spent in overhauling the books of the depart- ments without a single discovery which casts discredit upon the predecessors of the present incumbents. The star-eyed goddess of reform has blinked through the corridors of the treasury, but every dollar was found either present or ac- counted for. Thedemocratic hawkshaws have nosed around the country through postofhces, land offices and customs houses without resuits. Evidence in abundance was found, but it was not of the character sought for., The much needed change over which the campaign orators howled so hoarsely eighteen months ago has brought neither greater honesty, more efliciency or better men into the civil service. Republicans con- fidently left their case in the hands of their opponents and can as confidently trust to the verdict of the country upon the showing submitted. m—— ONE of the effects of the combination of labor is to induce employers to set forth the condition of their business in its fullesst details. No less than a dozen employers have done this in the past ten days, in Milwaukee, St. Louis, Chigago. and forthor cast. The other day 400 men employed iu the Mason machine works at Taunton, Mass., asked for a 10 per cent advance in wages, which they believed the firm could afford to give because the workingforce had been increased since last winter from 500 to 700 men, The firm answered the request, going into the secrets of its business and showing the men exactly why their request could not be granted. This is something new. Employers heretofore have scorned to explain their business to their employes. The information they receive in this way will prove to be of an educational char- acter, and will furnish them with material whereby in the future they can decide more wisely as to strikes and advances and other labor matts ‘TRE Chicago Herald has this to say of Senator Van Wyek's recent speech: ““Mr. Van Wyck, of Nebraska, is the one senator from the north who does not hesitate to speak his sentiments on the subject of monopoly. His remarks on the inter-state commerce bill on Monday were nost pointed, and there was some- thing quite appropriate in the fact that they were replied to by Leland Stanford. Mr. Van Wyck spoke for western agri- culture, an interest which has fow spokes- men.

An Infusion of Outside Lmere Btirs the Latent knergies of Cheyenne— A Stirring Year for the Territory, CHEYENNE, April 24.—[Correspondence of the Be.]—Wyoming appears to be on the verge of a boom which has never been equalled, and which even the oldest timers have not so soon anticipated. The advance of the Chieago & North- western extension—which is known in Nebraska as the Fremont, Eikhorn & Missonri Valley, and in Wyoming as the Wyoming Central-has stimulated the Burlington & Missouri and the Cheyenne & Northern, and all three railroads will be pushed as rapidly as possible. White here a short time ago, Charles Francis Adams and Fred L. Ames subscrived for £1,500,0000f the stock in the Cheyenne & Northern, thus giving them one-half the whole amount. This insures the co struction of the road, of which fully 1235 miles must be built in two ye ot Febr 30th, and which will be built, it is stated, in a year and a half. Tho Burli Lilnn.in!h meantime, is cping up the Platte with its survey, and yester- y ts were filed in l]w land oflice the corrected route of the Wy- oming, Montana & Pacifi ilrond.

Is the transconti- nental connection the motive? This may be true of the Northwestern, but hardly of the B. & M. It is belicved that the talismanic star which is leadi: these companies to the cxpense of n the oil in central western Wyoming. T it is there no one has ever doubted ince the first discovery of huge basi encrusted overflow from const harging sy Thatit will y itis probably what the preliminary sur- veys of these two companies have estab- lished, and for the oil the rival corpora- tions are racing. While at 1on is thus drawn toward central Wyoming the whole territory 1s experiencing a decided and pruln\blyyur- manent stimulus, Cheyenne’s growth is d the city now can hon- estly claim 10,000 inhabitants. The de- mand for land in all parts of the terri- tory is extraordinary in more than one way. The Big Horn basin, which is still in part unsurveyed and to a great extent unknown, will see fully fifty exploring parties by the first of June. All have the one object i to secure such farm- ing ising locations as will prove ble in the future. At the land oflice in this city the daily receipts are now $2,000, and three days last week saw $15,000 passed over the counter into the re s hands. 1t is pretty certain that the locomotives of the Northwestern will be whistling at Fetterman by September 1.
