Wuar does the west care about the rumpus which Small Frye and his New England colleagues are trying to kick up over free it and salt cod fish?

Logan's Arbitration BilL Senator Logan's substitute for the la- bor arbitration bill, which was recently passed by the house, falls far short of what is demanded from congress towards the solution of the labor problem. Sena- tor Logan has simply compounded a nos- trum which will probably be no more ef- fective in settling labor troubles than a dose of St. Jacobs Oil or Radway's Ready Relief. To begin with, the senator shows a lamentable lack of political statesman- ship when he proposes to settle all differ- res botween capital and labor in country by a national commis- The object of national com- missions, generally, is to delay and put off the settlement of a difficult problem which bafiles the politi- cian who wants to get on the right side of the fence, but does not know on which side it would be safest to land. Labor troubles are not issucs that can be put off by shifting the settlement upen the shoul- ders of a commission. T'hey usually break out like cholera and the smallpox in epi- demic form, Every ecase must be dealt with promptly on the spot, or fatal re- sults are sure to follow. A national com- mission to settle all the labor strikes in Am is an absurdity on its face. Mr. Logan proposes to create such a com- mission of five members, with vow- ers to travel wherever they are wanted to arbitrate differenc be- tween employer' and omploycs. If this commission was made up of five hundred wen and each commissioner could travel with fifty legs it could not operate successfully. ~ Thousands of em- all over the country are liable any time to be at loggerheads with th workmen, and Mr. Logan's commission would more than find its hands full in settling such troubles. But even conceding that the commis- sion was eapable of performing this mul- tifarious work, there is no likelihood that its action would settle any serions labor troubles. Such.a commisscon would at best be a jug-hundled affair. All of Sen- ator Logan’s provisos about the selection from various vocations would simmer down to the fact that the influence of capital would prevail in the choice of its members, and even if the president were not influenced by corporations and men of wealth, it would not take ninety days to convert every member of the commis- sion to the side of capital. It would be next to impossible for men placed in thew position to resist the tempting baits and corrupting influences of the billionaires and millionai On the other hand, la- bor could exert no other fluence upon the commission thau the force of its vote, for big stakes would eare nothing about. In any event, a ing cautiously would be regavded by the laboring element with dis- trust and without the employment of absolute force exerted through the sheriffs or military its orders would be disregarded and defied. That would leave us in no better condition than we are without this cumbrous machime. Had General Logan given the labor problem serious thought and reflection he certainly would not have resorted to this patent medicine remedy. ‘The only way to make arbitration effective is by legalizang the choice of arbitrators jointly by ocapitalists and employes in every case of difference just as new juries are chosen in every trial. By providing the method of choosing these boards and prescribing their powers and duties, tion effeetive. Of course material arbitra- tion could apply only to common carriers engaged in inter-state commerce, while state arbitration would apply to local em- ployment, such as factories, mills, ete. In every special arbitration the employers and the working men should be required to sign an agreement that they will abide by the decisionof the arbitrators, and a refusal to comply should be made punish- abie. The arbitrators should give both sides a free hearing, and all outside inter- ference should be strictly prohibited and guarded against the same as is done with Jjuries in crimiual trials. Such a system of arbitration would doubtless prevent many violent outbreaks and costly strikes. It would by nomeans prove a cure for all of the labor troubles which are bound to exist as long as men difter about the value of their labor and the price of its products. Sensator Lo- gan's proposed remedy would remedy nothing. It would break down before it Lad been in operation thirty days. Sm—r———— Valentine and Dorsey. W hen Valentine was in congress he nude himself obnoxious and useless to his constituents by insultang and villify- ing his colleagues in the senate. During the torm of Sonator Saunders he was constantly making war upon that scna- tor and succeeded in getting sat down upon whenover he wnnted anything above a postal clerkship. After Van Wyck entered congress Valentine pitted himself against him with the same de- &ree of sucoess. Now that he has been retirod from public lite, Valentine 1s very much provoked that his successor, Dor- scy, has profited by Valentine's oxperience. He i3 as ad as a Mareh hare becausa Mr. Dorsey 13 working in harmony with the balance ot the delegation, including Van Wyck. He has the sublime impu- dence to assert that Mur. Dorsey nas seri- ously injured his ehances for re-eloction by rofusing to keep up the warfare which stranded Valentine and came near split- ting the republiean party in the middle, The peoplo of the T'hird district take very little stock in E. K. Valentine. One-half of the prosent residents have come gince Yalontine left congress. They hardly look to him g their (‘i\nm_- pion, and when they got to know tho past record of the man they will look to him a great deal less. ‘The other halt of tho district who are familiar with Valentine’s career and with the record of the infamous crew which he trmned with, will ecom mend Mr. Dorsey for incurring Valen- tine’s enmity. The people of this state had to submit for years to the viilainous chain gang of which Valentine was a fit leader. ‘They have turned their backs upon them and will never aguin trust them with any position within their gift if thoy keow themselves. The embezzlers, dofaulters, forgers, suryeylug swindlers, land robbers and political desperadoes, whose chieftan Valentine made it bis boast to be, muy join in denouncing Dersey if they are still out of the pevitontiary or haven't yet emigrated to Canada. ¥rom the Niobrara line down to the Platte, every defaulter in oflice and | togitive frow jastice, demoerat or repub- which o man who was disposed to play | commission nct- { congress or the states can make arbitra- liean, has belonged to that old ring of po- litical highwaymen who always gloried In rallying around E. K, Valentine. That ring never can be resurrected, and Val- entine’s anathemas will fall flat, no mat- ter at whom they are hurled. The Lhird district is not what it was when horse thieves, claim jumpers and land robbers ruled the roost and kept the people’s noses down to the grindstone. Mr. Dorsey has nothing to fear from the wrath of Valentine. Our Permanent Post, Gen. Sherilan W interviewed the other day by a delegation of St. Louisans who called to inquire whether the war department proposed to do away with Jeflerson barracks, The general grati- fried his visitors by telling, them that the war department had mapped out a plan for a chain of regimental posts bisecting the country from north to south and along the Mississippi yalley at the follow- ing points: Fort Snelling, Omaha, Leavenworth and St. Louis, and that nothing prevented the exccution of the pian exeept the money to put up the ne- cessury buildings. Two other points decided upon for permanent garrisons are Atlanta and San Antonio. The pol- icy of concentrating troops at central points along the railrouds and near the greatcitios is a wise one because they can be more readily transported to points of danger and more cheaply maintained than when seattered over the country. Large vosts, too, can be more economi- cally maintained in- proportion to their numbers than smaller ones. Gen. Sher- i selection of Omaha for one of the permunent garrisons of the country will also be considered » by both the army and by ns. Gen. Crook long ago pronounced it the most important strate- gic point in the west and Gen. Sherman concurred in the opinion. There has been a considerable sum of money spent on Fort Omaia in perma- nent improvements already. The loca- tion is a fine one, and if additional grounds are needed, which Gen. Crook seems mclined to doubt, they can doubt- less be secured adjoining the post at a cheaper price than the cost of removal, It will not be long before Fort Omaha will have rail connecetions, and that standing argument inst the present location of the post will be gone. Half the appropriation needed to remove the post would build it up ubstan| mauner and retain its lovely lawns, grow- ing troes and convenient access to the With persistent efforts on the part of our del at Washington, Fort ight where it 18 can be made as wble a post as any in in of permanent forts with which Gen. Sheridan proposes to line the banks of the Mississippi valley, including its tributary, the Big Muddy. BOULEVARDS and parks are as necessary in their way for every large city v ments and sew; If Omaha is to be in the very near future a city of 100,000 people, she must aim to acquire alt the comforts'and conveniences of large eitie One httle park and a hittle grass plat is all that we haye now in that direction. If the county and city can join hands and establ a boulevard around the city, they will do the wise and proper thing. It never can be done as cheaply as it can now. The same old cry will be raised of course by the mosshack and Cheap John cconomists that it will cost money, increase our taxes, and_enrich some people who have property in the neighborhood. For our part we do not care who gets rich by any necded public improvement. It is a very narrow mind that will obstruet all im- provements because some will be bene- fited more than others. Any enterpriso which makes Omaha more attractive and enlarges the comforts of her population will direetly and indirectly be a benefit to every property owner. Property values arerelative. Improvements mado in one scction raise the general property value in the whole city more or less. Tnr board of trade committee are hard at work in Washington, urging the cl:ims of Neb to extensions of the Union Pacifie for which the bill which they advocate makes provision. But they find that the opposition to a for the relief of the road is stronger tban they anticipated. The session is neu its close and any new measure runs a poor chance for favorable consideration and passage, These are the princip: reasons why our people who are inte: ested in relieving the road from the sweat box in which it has been placed by its former corrupt managers, should not be too sunguine of success just at presont. GrassnorreRrs have made their appear- ance in great numbers in Indiana, and an Adams county farmer is shipping them to Chicago in job lots at $8a bushel. 'This is more profitable than raising crops, but the people are at a loss to know what the boppers areto be used for in Chicago. Some suspect that they are to be used for boarding house soup and hash, but others conclude that as their destination was near the board of trade building they are to be employed in influencing the market in cereals.

Nobody conneeted with this adminis- tration been more mercilessly at- tacked than Land Commissioner Sparks. He brought down the wrath of the land grabbers upon himself at the outset, and they have not yet been able to see any good in him. Convinced that the public domain could be kept out of the hands of speculators and jobbers and preserved for the use of sctual scttlers only by the most rigorous measures, Mr. Sparks made some sweeping orders at the begin- ning of his oflicial term, and the land rings, working under cover ot the “‘poor settler,” succeeded n persuading Seere- tary Lamar to overrule his subordinate in a few cases. 1t is now said that Mr. Lamar has been in the receipt of so many bogus letters of complaint from the west m relation to Mr. Sparks thut he is of opinion that that official has been made the vicuim of an organized raid by the land rings, and that he has decided to interfere with him no more. If this should prove to ve true it would be an excellent thing for Mr. Sparks and for the country. o e Justice Duval's Wife. “Carp” in the Cleveland Lea Speaking of Stanley Matthew'’s mar, reminds me of a story which Ogle Taylor tells of Justice Duval, who on " the supreme bench for twenty-five yeurs, serving from 1811 to 1836, Judge Duy was arepresentative from Maryland to the i ngress, and while there he and William B. Giles, of Virginia, boarded in Philadelphia with Mrs. Gibbons, who had a daughter who was neither young nor taciturn, Giles and Duval became groat friends, but afier they left congress they lost sight of each other for a time. They met again in Washington at the begin- ning of Jeffrson’s administration, when Giles was senator and Duval controller of the treasury., They were happy in the roevival of old’ id were enjoyin, themselves in chatting about them unti Senator Giles inquired of Duval, “whut has become of that d—d cackling old maid, Jennio GibLons?' “iShe is Mrs. Duyal sir," was the reply, and it is needless to say that the con- versation after this was for'a time rather strained.
