PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is said to have let the contract for his wedding shirt. It has a twenty-inch collar and a Jeffer- sonian frill down the front. A BANJO serenade from the editor of the Republican under Senator Van Wyck's window, during his stay in Omaha, may bo saf predicted. 1T may not be inappropriate to remark that there is a great deal of Folsom flat- tery going the rounds of the pressin con- neetion with the president’s approaching nuptials, ‘WE observe that Jeff.

STANDING BEAR likes Washington, Like all the othor Indians who go on to #ee the Great Father, Chief Standing Bear goes back to Norfolk with an en- larged idea about the white man. He thinks “white man mighty uncertain,” Tue Union Pacific has been helping Atself to Nebraska for years, but under a changed management Nebraska is will- ing to help itself by helping the Union Pacific out of the slough in which it has been sunk by the ringsters and jobbers who fattened ofl'its resourees for twenty years, The presence of S8enator Van Wyck in Omaha will afford our business men and the manager of the Union Pacific an op- portunity to interchange views with re- gard to the proposed bill to enable that #oad to construct branches and feeders #o its main line, The senator comes with o other feeling than a desire to serve his constituents. The bill which he in- troduced some wecks ago, authorizing the Union Pacific to use the sinking fund deposit for the comstruction of branches, was designed for the same purpose. If its provisions do not meet the requirements of the road we have no donbt that the senator will sheerfully modify it; providing that she changes asked for do not the way open for stock watering o side construction rings. If it is thought best to abandon the eflort to secure the use of the sinking fund surplus, and sim- ply ask congross to grant authority to - the Union Pacific to use its eredit for the wonstruction of feeders with proper re- strictions against abuses, we helieve Sen- wtor Vau Wyek will use his best oforts to socure the passagoe of such a bill. We understand the senator bas notitied the wpresident of the board of trade that he avould meet members and other parties dnterested to consider this measure, aud we have no doubt that & satisfactory un- . .derstanding wiil be arrived at by whick the senator and the entire Nobrusks dele- - gation can act in concert. A Square Back Down. Mr. Edmunds and his third resolution received another black oye on Thursday from republican senators and republican votes. The one ease upon which the senator from Vermont hinged his causo and on which he brought on his contest between the senate and the president was quietly and poacefully disposed of in exeeutive session on Thursday with scarcely a gurgle of dissent. A Whashington dispateh gives the history of this sad affair as follows: When Senator, Edmunds de- cided to bring on the contest between the scnate and the president concerning the right of the former to demand any papers the exeoutive might have regard- ing a person suspended from office he selected as a peg upon which to hang the struggle the nomination of John D. Burnett to succeed George M. Duskin, suspended from the office of United States district attorney of Alabama. It was npon the refusal to furnish the papers in this case that the judiciary committee, under the lead of Mr. presented the report to attached the famous resolution calling for the rejection of all such nominations as that of Burnett. No sooner had Mr. Edmunds secured the adoption of the resolution than it was freely predicted that the senators weo voted for it in open session would not live up to it in secret sessions, but everybody believed that it would at least be regarded in Burnett's case. There were no charges against Burnett's character, or any intimations that he was not qualitied to hold the oflice, but he was to be ause the president would not gi te pa- pers to the senate. The programme has not been carried out, and Mr. Bur nett has been confirm pvencd that while his nomination w pending in the senate Duskin's term expired. The president sent ina new nomination of Burnett, this time to fill tho vacancy caused by the expiration oF Duskisizeamn - dim asgy Gy od the other day, and he was confirmed so casily and quietly that some of th ors did not notice that his name had been read at all. The fact of his confirmation has not yot been ofticially made public, and it is reported that one of the ub- lican senators entered a motion to recon- sider the vote, which will have the effect of holding up the matter until the mo- tion is disposod of. Mr. Edmunds’ third resolution was sheer buncombe. It passed the senate by the skin of its teeth, because senators who were too cowardly to vote against it on the floor of the senate chamber agreed nmong themselves to disregard it behind the closed doors of the secret ses- sion. Its threats have not been carried out in a single instance because they never were intended to be carried out. Senator Van Wyck had the courage of his convictions. He declined to support the resolution in open session because he has always declined to pose before the public in one attitude and act privately in another. The action of the senate since the passage of Mr. Edmunds’ reso- lution has vindicated Senator Van Wyck’s position, while it has shown up the skulkers in no verv enviable light. Home Rule Prospects. The bitter opposition which Mr. Glad- stone’s measures for Irish relief awakened upon their first announcement is rapidly subsiding. Three weeks ago the failure of the home rule bill was confidently pre- dicted by a heavy majority, a largo part of which was to come from the liberal ranks. To-day its passage to its second reading is gonerally conceded and tne contest is postponed almost by common consent until after its consideration in committee. Under the parliamentary procedure of the house of com- mons a measure may be killed at three &tages The house may decline to consider it on the motion for leave to introduce. It may again throw it overboard after its intro- duction, and before amendment on the motion that it be passed to the second reading. This motion carries it into committee of the whole for general dis- oussion and amendment, after which the bill may be finally disposed of when nut upon its passnge. M. Gladstone's mea- sures have passed their first stage. Their mere ntroduction without divis- jon marked an epoch in Eng- lish history. Five years ago the government could have bcen over- thrown on the bare oflicial proposal of home rule. An English parliament would bave declined Lo listen even to William E. Gladstone in explanation of such a measure as that which Jess than a month ago he presented to an overflowing house of English wealth, aristocracy and intelligence. There is little doubt now, since tho Easter mass has given oppor- tunity for discussion and debate that both the home rule bill and the land bill will pass to a second reading. This means that parliament is not only will- ing to listen to the measures for the rclief of Ireland but to discuss them. Mr. Morley's specches have greatly contributed in fostering a favorable pub- lic opinion. He has announced that the cabinet are united in their support of Mr, (ladstone's measures, and that the min- istry will not oppose amendments which do not strike at the vital features of the bills. In other words, the ministry arc prepared to make reasonable concessions such as the majority may demand, m order to sceurc their assent. Among these Mr. Morley especially named the sion of the Irish wembers trom unent, The prospect for the passage of the Ivish bills with some modifications, grow Lrighter day by day. Mr. one hus now, as he always had, behind him the solid body of the E ish, the Welsh and the Scoteh libers Birminghaw and London may show opposition, but they will be move than compensated for by rural Great Brita With the passage of the Irish bills by the commons will be- gin the end of the great strugale.

Education and the Tariff. There are symptoms of a speedy resus- citation of the Blair educational bill from the pigeon holes of the committees on la- bor and education. The measure as passed by the senate proposes to distrit ute the small trifle of seventy millions among the states in proportion to their illiteracy. Nebraska, which has for yonrs, placed a high premium on educa- will secure practically nothing, Alabama, Mississippi, and other southern states which made it a criminal offense to teach ignorant blacks the rudi- ments of edueation, will revel in millions s a roward for their policy of promoting illiteracy. Quite apart from any rivally or jeal- ously about the distribution of the sum proposed to be appropriated by this measure, it is bad in principle and ill timed in itsapplication. 1t is o premium This fact stands out clear- ions to the meas- st. which ever since its or- ganization into great stutes, has pursued e and prudent poidcy of fostering education and fitting the youth for the duties of citizenship should not be ealled upon to-day to furnish states which have pursied an opposite poliey with the means of correcting the blunders of the past. This vast sum of seventy millions bas been accumulated in the treasury by national taxation. Custom duties have furnished a large portion of it. Tho western farmers who pay more than their proportion of the exactions of the tarift have contributed largely to this uty surplus. They are not anxious pated among the southern y protectionist votes cast for the bill to prevent the argument of a sury surplus from being used asa club to beat down the inequalities ni Im présent e Bvery Fepresenfaiive of the great manufacturers is in favor of the Blair bill. Every congressional lobbyist who is working against any revision of the tariff support it in the holy eause of edu- cation. These men know very well that the moment the bill becomes W any reduction of the tariff would be declared impossible. The arguments of tariff re- formers would be promptly met with the answer that the treasury require- ments would not permit of any reduc- tlon in the revenue. ars ago the opponents of tariff jon centered upon the bill reducing internal revenue taxes as a means to ro- duce the treasury surplus and block the path for a reduction in custom duties. ng in that they drafted the present measure which passage would produce the same results. It ought to be defeated and it will beif the people understand the real motive which lies behind it. A Word With Our Workingmen, The workingmen of Omaha are now on tr with thy fellow-laborers of the whole country. Upon their conduct at sis depends their future prosperity and welfare. It willt headed, cool, temperate couns about the improvement of their condition which the laboring masses desire. It is not simply a question of enforcing the rights of labor and securing a proper share of the products of labor for the in- dust class. It is conceded by all thinking men that labor properly organi- zed has the power to enforce its just de- mands. But in making these demands, workingmen must not imperil success by imposing unreasonable and extravagant terms upon their employers. Such de- mands can only result in disaster to labor, because it could not sustain itself in the unequal struggle against capital backed by public opinion. Our workingmen have, in the main, been prospering. The outlook for the season is very favorable to an active de- mand for mechanics and laborers, and their earnings will as a consequence be greater. This will benefit the merchant as well as the workingman, providing al- ways that no enforced stoppage of work oceurs. There is such a thing as going to extremes. The demand for reduced hours is within itself right and proper. But it is a serious question whether at this time a change from ten to eight hours’ work with ten hours’ pay would not be too radieal and force a contest in which labor would suffer more than capital by paralyzing all industry and enterprise, ‘Take it for instance in the matter of building. Capitalists who have not al- ready contracted for the erection of blocks and residences would naturally hold back and leave a large number of mechanics und laborers idle for the sea- gon. The same is true of manufac- turers, As a friend of labor, the Bee would counsel moderation. A reduction from ten to nine hours with ten hours' pay would, it seems to us, bea fair compromise, which capitalists, con- tractors and workingmen alike could af- ford to accept rather than to enter upon a conflict, costly to all parties, damaging to enterprise, ana seriously retarding the growth of Omaha, Above all things, workingmen should not act rashly, They should tske no steps that they will regret or that they will have to retrace. Those who are tem- porarily idle should stay awsy from the saloons, They need sober judgment in sottling any differences or difliculty. The great mass of Omaha workingmen have families to support, many of them have homes which ure only partly paid for, and all of them have their own pros- pority at stuke. They have shown on former oceasions that they are law-abid- ing, orderly and forbearing under the worst provoentions, and we feel confident that they will not belie thelr former record, PropABLY the queerest demand made esterday by Chicago workingmen was of the beer makers, who struck, in addition to other demands, for an allow- ance of fifteen glasses of beer between the hours of 7a, m. and 4 p. m. Ir is estimatod that fully 20,000 work- ingmen in Chicago yesterday won their point for eight hours’ work for eight hours’ pay. The men who demanded ten bours' pay for eight hours' work were not quite so succcssful. In many instances, Lowever, their demand has been taken under advisement, SENATOR MANDERSON, in an interview, intimates that Now York influcnc cured the veto of the bill m; & port of imusediate transportation. Whether this be ko or not, people will agree with the sengtor that the president’s two vetoes of the Des Moines river lands bill and that to further Omaha's com- mercial interests were unfortunate for his popularity in this section ManrsHAL BrerpowER says he does not care how well Dr. Boar is treated in the 1,50 long as he hol¢ to the solid meat and draws the salary.

The only notice congress seems inclined to take of the Missouri river, is to pass bills an- thorizing the construction of pridges over it, among other **navigable streams.” When it comes to the question of making the river more navigable, congress at once becomes apathetic, A River Improvement.

Chicago Tribune, Senator Van Wyck made a caustic speech in the senate last Tuesday on the bill for reg- ulating interstate commerce, in which he paid his cordial respects to Mr. Jay Gould, to Sen- ator Blair, the gond man from New Hamp- shire; to certain Nebraska editors, and to various other persons who have come within the scope of his disapproval. It was a speech that was listened to with interest, and, so far as the philanthropnist of New Hampshire was concerned, in perfect silence. Mr, Van Wyck, as the New York Times remarks, is not in all regards the model of a constructive statesman, but his faculty of destructive erit- icism is highly developed. - My Charming Little Housekeeper.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, Mr. Jefferson Davis is not saying quite as much nowadays as he 1 in 1861, a little earlier than this in the year. Twenty-five years ago he made twenty- five speeches on the way from Jackson, Miss., to Montgomery, Ala. He delivered his alleged inaugural at Montgomer sbruary 17, 1861, That Mr. Davis w: not a very wise man at that time we have sometimes thought even the southern people might sonie day be able_to ascer- tam. He said at kson that there might be war, but the union men of the north little knew the southern heart and endurance. We quote his words: “England and France would not allow our great staplo to be dammed up within our present limits; the starving thousands in their midst would not atlow it. We have nothing to apprehend from block- ade.

A Continuous Procession of Sottlers— Extortionate Tolls at Olark's Bridge—Proposed Div of the County. SioyEY, Neb.,, April 97.—[Correspon- dence of the Beg.]—=The immigration to this state this year is simplty enormous. The white wagons of the home seekers, you might as well say, are nearly a con- tinuous procession along the whole line of the Platte. At every station there aroe piles and piles of wagons, farm machinery of all kinds, household goods n endless quantity, and variety, boxes of chickons, cows, calves and a fow pigs, and lots of horses and mules. I believe Cheyenne county will receive twice as many set tlers this year as any other county in the state. There is now alarge train of immi- grants going north of the North Platte river; they cross the country following the old Sidney trail going to Deadwood, up as far as Camp Clark. At this point is Clark's toll bridge across the North Platte. This bridge w built by the present owner in the days of the early discovery of gold in Deadwood, and the rates of toll charged strikes the poor homesteader as simply extortionate.
