SENATOR VAN WYCK's fight in the en- ato to increase the minimum pension for disabled veterans will bo appreciated by the old soldiers of the west. The bill us passed by the scnate provides for the sup- port of a large number of impoverished but deserving soldiers of the war. It places upon the pension list honorably discharged soldiers who have no means of support in proportion to their disabili- ¢y, whother their disabilities were ac- ired in the service or not. Senator an Wyck proposed and supported an smendment to make $8 per month the minimum sum for pensions in such cases, In his speech supporting this amend- ment the senator showed that under ex- Isting laws beneficiaries of the govern- emment may recoive as little ns $1 a month, and from that up through frac- tions of o dollar. A maximum rate is allowed, aud then the sum is graded down according to the ideas of the pen- sion department. Senator Van Wyck insisted that if a soldier is entitled to any pension at all he is certainly entitled 88 Iis arguments succceded in in- ducing the senate to make the mimimum $4 instead of $1, as formerly, and thus ended the bill passed and was sent to houso. Tae effects of Mr. Sparks rigid scrut- of land entries are being seen in the jeral peopling of Nebraska by actual settlers in the frontier countie: It is a which have been entered during the past year have more actual residents to the square mile thun is to be found in the dlder communities from 50 to 100 miles east. This is admitted by land ofticers who are not particularly friendly to Commussioner Sparks. Mr. Sparks . has the interests of the govern- ment at heart. He has done an excellont work since his assumption of in clearing out the rogues and Fascals who bhave made the nation’s bounty, intended 1or the landless, means of increasing their own nse private fortunes through fraud His rulings do not af- Claim-jump- ors steer clear of men who are working their claims. 8pecial agents decline to Anterfere with settlers who wre working fheir pre-emptions and homesteads. The istration of the land office. Splendid Confidence, Mr. Gladstone is reported as saying that his home rule bill is as sure to pas as he to take his seat the next day in the house of commons. This is splendid con- fidence on the part of the premier, and shows that he yet holds cards in reserve which he will play when the momentous moment arrives, But others are less san- guine of the immediate success of home rule. The cool and self contained Parnell expresses no confidence in the result. He contents himself with saying that all Ireland 1s satisfied with the ministerial proposals, and that he has no amendments to offer to Mr. Gladsione’s generons meas ureof relief for Ireland. But he is by no means certain that liberal treachery and tory hate may not trinmph over justice and magnanimity. It is to be a hard fight, and no one appreciates the better than the white-haired state who is pinning his political faith on the simple issue of justice to Ireland and freedom for Irishmen. Whatever the re- sult of the issue, it will probably be the end of Mr. Gladstone's public caree He recognizes the fact, and against the most fearful odds of lost friends and ran- corous enemics, of centuries of accumu- lated prejudice ana the glowing fire of aw ed religious intolerance, he inte poses the shield of political autonom and appeals to the English love of fal play. But the confidence of the premier is doubtless based upon his long experience as a public man, which has taught him that no political change has ever been urged by a majority of the liberal party in England which has not, how- ever defeated, finally found its way to the statute books of the United King dom. If the present commons defeats home rule a new parliament will be sum moned to deal with the all important question. Mr. Gladstone feels assured that the heart of England is with him whatever the political opinion of the ex- isting parlinment. If he is beaten on a _vote he will promptly appeal to the coun- try on the issue of home rule, and confi- dently await the result. Abolish Alien Landlords, Mr. Payson, of Tilinois, has reported from the public lands committee the bill introduced by him early in the session to prohibit any further acquirement of lands by non-resident ahens. Congress has apparently awakened at last to the necessity of providing against the en- croachments of alien landlords upon the public lands of the United States, not, however, until more than 20,000,000 acr have been acquired by non-resident own- ers, and the entire public domain reduced to-something like 55,000,000 acres. The text of Mr. Payson's bill is as fol- low hat no non-resident alien or foreigner nor any resident alien or foreigner who has not declared his intention to become acitizen of the United States, nor any corporation or association where at most one-tenth of its stock or right of property is owned or col trolled by aliens or foreigners, shall acquire or own, hold or possess, by right, title or de- scent accruing hereafter, any real estate in any of the territories of the United States, provided that the provisions of this act shall not apply to the real estate necessary for the construction and operation of any road.” The report accompanying this bill con- tains a list of property held by foreigners in the western states and territories that makes a startling total. According to this list, which the committee asserts is not by any means complete, one English syndicate owns 8,000,000 acres in Texas; “the Holland company” owns 4,500,000 acres in Now Mexico; Sir Edward Reid and a syndicate own 8,000,000 acres i Florida, and other individuals and syn- dicates, mostly Englishmen and Scotch- men, own tracts of land in various parts of the country, varying in size from 1,800,000 acres, held by a syndicate in Mississippi, to a little 5,000 acre ranch, held by Sir J. L. Kay, of Yorkshire, Eng- land. The committec report that in a great many cases these vast tracts have been acquired by irregnlar and unlawful menns, and & meusure will be recom- mended suggesting that congress author- ize a commission to examine into land grants in New Mexico and Arizona. In- vestigations are now being made in a great many cases, and it is expected that much land will be reclaimed that has been sceured toits alien holders by fraud. Mr. Payson’s bill covers only the pub- lio lands which, for the most part, now contained in the territories, It will become the duty of the states to supple- ment this legislation by laws prohibiting alien landlordism altogether in this country. We are willing to naturalize, assimilate und make citizens of nny re- spectable material from foreign countries, but we must govern our land owners ourselves. Rallroad Extonsions in Nebraska. Statcments are presented by the Rail. way Age of track laid in the various states and territor! during the four months of the present year ending April 80. The record includes forty lines aggregating 660§ miles ot main tr which is a total about twice that reported up to the same period of last year. Itis ulso largor than for the same period of 18584, “and indecd,” says the dge, “'in any of the last thirteen years excenting the four years 1880, '81, '82, and '83, the aggre- gate of construction for 1883 exceeding that of any previous year in the history of the country, Some tracklaying has alreudy been done in nearly half the states of the union, although most of them report only one road each The principal activity thus far appears to be in Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, and Kansas, and these figures are an indication of the very lirge mile- age which is actually under construction in these states, as the record for the full yoear will show. Of the forty lines re- ferred to in the table, tracklaying is still in progress on at least twenty-four, und these alone expeet to add fully 1,800 miles to their present wmileage during this year. A Nebraska was omitted from tne list of twenty-two states and territories in which track was laid during the first few months of 1886, because railroad exten- sion did not generally begin uniil the 1st of the present month, Since that date NeAriy, Jf not quite, 100 miles of rwls have been spiked, half of which were laid on the Klkhorn Valley extension west from Chadron. The Union Pazific Loup City branch has also been com- pleted and work is progressing on the various extensions of the B. & M. north and south of the Platte. The work al- ready mappod out and in progress on vailronds in Nebrasks for the pres: ent seaton will add from 500 to 1,000 miles of trackage, With the passage of the Union Pacific relief bill this amount will be largely in- creased: The proposed Rock Island extensions through southern Nebraska, if carried out, as they probably will be, will still further add to the list. The work to be done will be quite equaily divided between the sections north and south ot the Piatte. The Elk horn Valley line, owned by the North- western, has already nearly completed its extension across the state line into Wyoming. When work is finished on its Seribner and Lincoln branches and the proposed Omaha short line, the new tracks added by thisg company will place it in the lead of new railroad construction during the present year. The Burlington exten- sion from Grand Island into the north- west, which is heading toward the Wyo- ming line and the Union Pacilic’s Loup Valley branch, will complete the list of new railroads built in the North Platte country outside of the Ashland branch of the B. & M., the Missour: Pacific and the Belt Line connections of those roads with Omaha, 4 Missouri Pacl the Burlington and the Rock Island will busy them: in pushing feeders and extensions in the section between the river and the Kansas line, with a probable mileage equal to that of the new roads in the North Platte country. A signiticant feature of the railroad building of the present year is the gen eral absence of the “hond” issue. Riv- alry and competition are urging the var- 1oug systems into a rapid extension of their lines in dircetions which the refusal of precinets and counties to vote aid can- not materi affect. The roads must be built, bonds or no bonds, and our farm- ers and settiers are reaping the benefit of the struggle. The Elkhorn Valley rond has been pushed west from Valentine within a year without a dollar’s worth of local aid, and other ems have discov- ered that the old time willingness of the frontier to pay big bonuses for railroads which would be built subsidy or no sub- sidy, has passed away. Bogus Butter Must Go. The manufacturers of bogus butter are deluging the press with circulars protest- inst stringent legislation agninst the manufacture of their product. They quote the opinions of scientific authori- ties to the effect that butterine 18 healthy and oleomargarine quite as good as the genuine dairy product. They appeal to the public to visit their factories and in- spect the manufacture of butter from lard and suet, and promise a surprising revelation to parties who imagine that a bogus butter mill is notas clean as a well kept creamery. This is all well enough in its way, but it does not touch the mam question. No matter how ecleanly or how healthy the product of the butterine may be, the fact re under false pretenses and that its sa butter is seriously injuring Ameri dairy interests. If bogus butter w known to be bogus butter its consump- tion would drop to a mere bagatelle of what it now is. Consumers would prefer any day to pay 20 per cent more for the clean product of the dairy than for de- odorized lard, colored with analine and softened with cottonseed oil. The bogus butter business thrives on fraud. The fraud begins at the factory when the stuffis packed in tubs marked “Fine Creamery ” It is contin- ued by the retailers when the neatly wrapped rolls are palmea off on customers as “‘the best country butter,” Itonly ends when a surprised stomach wrestles with the doctored up lard in the yain attempt to digest it as it does the product of the churn. The farm- ers of the United States are a unit in de- manding that such fraud shall be made impossible, because its successtul con- tinuance means the certain destruction of our great dairy interests. Consumers of butter who discover that their family grocer has been unable to resist the temptation to make 100 per cent. profit by charging creamery prices for deodor- ized lard, are anxious that such tempta- tion shall be forever removed. Bogus butter must go. THE strect sign question must not be allowed to drop out of sight because ridiculous overtures to combine personal advertising with a public function have been made in connection with the plain proposition that our streets must be named. The council owes it to both res- idents of Omaha and strangers in the city that our streets shall be labelled so they can be readily distinguished. This will require both the lettering of the street lamps and the fixing of small signs on corner buildings in the thickly built up parts of the city and on gate posts and fences in the residence portions. When estimates are secured it will be found G35 that the work will not be as ex- pensive as some of the coun- cilmen imagine. A three]Jinch strip not more than fourteen inches in length will be large enough to answer the purpose. The letters should be painted in white on a dark backgronnd Experience in other cities has shown that this style of street sign best answers the . But work should be begun a ». Omaha is being materially injured in the cyes of prospective investors in real estate by the difliculty which they, with every one else, experience in find- ing their way about the city. It will he necessary in this connection that an or- dinance be passed forbidding, with proper penalties, the defacement or removal of street signs when put in place. Oyana is growing, steadily, surely, rapidly growing. She is growing not only in new real estate additions, but in an inereasing population to fill them, A glance down our busy streets, a skim the directory, a look at the adver- tising columns of her papers show the of her growth. Fully 800 new s firms have been added to the st since the year named. New whole- sale houses are being added to her re- sources, new factories, are rising along Ler track, New life is everywhere-being infused into her commercial and indus- trial veins.

There is no doubt that eight hours is enough for most people to work, on the score of comfort and from the side of disposition. But there is another question involved: Will eight hours bring money enough tor their adequate support of those dependent upon the workers? The answer to this depends upon the condition of the labor market—the amount of work to be done, the number who are available to do it, and the profits of those who employ it. It is not, therefore, a matter for arbitrary settlement. Everything depends upon the tactors in the problem, In some oc- cupations and places, and at some tines, eight hours is enough. In others they are not. ———— ey To Herr Most.

They are like the prudes who never let the prurient escape them and never cease to abuse the source of their information. Itis one of the paradoxes of human ature that those who protest most vigor- ous| ly those most interested in against which they pro- dent Cleveland, bachelor, is by virtue of his high oflice, the first gentle- man in the land. He was elected to that oflice by a majority of the people of tl mighty republic, and he will hold it unti his successor qualifies, when he will step down and out. He will be the first presi- dent who has ever married while in of- fice, for the bachelors who have been there before him have gone through the presidential term unscathed by Cupid’s shafts. The lady whom he will marry will be the mistress of the white house for nearly three years, and the **first lad in the land”’ by virtue of her position l¥ the American people should allow such an event to pass without the manifesta- t.on of eager curiosity it would show. in- difference to the welfare and prospects of the chief istrato and unconcern for which he holds, would be disappointment to high contracting parties them- es. DMarriage is the most important event in human hfe. Birth is a ni sity which cannot be controlled by the indi- vidual and death a debt due to nature that cannot be avoided. A great many people would not nave come into this troublesome world if they could help it, nd a great many more,troublesome as it would not go out of it if they could avoid it, Marriage, however, is’ volun- . All that follows birth leads up to All that procedes death for good or ill grows out of it. No event, therefore, in life is environed with such interest, and no station mn life is so humble that the nuptial ceremony is not regarded with eagerness and solicitude by those who are rapidly drifting towards it, and with calm satisfaction or concealed sym- pathy or apprehention by those who have been there. When the™ parties to this deeply-important ceremony hold exalted public position the popular curiosity is propertionately eager and general.

Agent Wright's Determination to Ene force Discipline — The Noble Reds Compelled to Hustle For Grab. RosesuD AGENCY, Dak., May 15.—[Cor respondence of the Ber.]—There ap- peared in the Omaha Bek of the Tth what purports to be news from Valen tine, Nob., which has been copied largely into the castern press with such additions us would appear to suit the views of the different localities without regard to nted as “News from rn Nebraska of a very disturbance which occurred at serious Rosebud Indian ageney in Dakota, a short distance from the Nebraska boundary line.” The basis of this news from the “special” correspondent is correct so far as “Major Wright, the Indian agent, found fault with one of the bands of In dinns for having located on a tract of land which he considered and declared unfit for cultivation,” and his refusal to give to these people agricultural imple- ments and tools did create indignation among them, not because they had for them, but because others were r . ing them and they not. The agent told these Indians they had no use for such tools in that locality, that they could not, and in fact did not intend to use them; by giving to them would but deprive oth ers of th use who were willing, in lo. calities where they couldand would work and help themselves. All the Indians of this ageney settled on this barren section within a radius of ten or fifteen miles of the agene; the time of its location. The first efiorts of Agent Wright atter taking charge 18 many as possible to re- move to the muany creck bottoms where good land is to be found and where they could do something with remunerati results. Fully seven-eights of the popu lation have been induced: to comply, and are now located 1 various camps from ten to liil?' miles distant. The remaining one eighth persistenly refusing to move, ha ned where they neither could or would work or help themselves, not withstanding their demands are more numerous than the working Indians. The agent's refusal to issue the ple; Is to these people creal ignation among them, and they did resolve not only ‘*not to move, but to demand that the implements and supplies be issued to them without further dela; These Indians did “march in a body io the agency and make a formal demand; but did not accompany the same with an cemphatic threat thatif not complied with ‘‘they would seize the implements by force.” Agent Wright consented to lis- ten to what they had to say unless they used uncivil or insolent language, in which case he would leave them. The demand was for the implements, and the reply the same as before, that th would not be given to them unless they moved and went to work.

Some Indi- uns endeav, 1 to detain him, but throw- g them off and the Indian police com- ing petween, he left unmolested. The whole of the Indians (from forty to fifty) followed and surrounded the nge stockade, several shaking hands wif and saying they were s a ‘‘brave or strov indicatin t mi ) police werc equal to the emergency. There was no necessity for cool-liecaded Indians with some white men interceding, nor were there y such. There being no fight there w none to renew. The agent not compelled to issue an order turning over the imple- ments, neither we taken forcible on of by the Indians, nor did the 1c them, but persisted in his re- . No feast wasasked for to celebrate a victory not won, nor was any sugar or other provisions given. It~ certainly would not have been if asked. No other Indians except those living on this bar- ren section were interested or engaged in this raid. Crow Dog, the murderer of old Chief Spotted Tail, claimed them as his band or his people and has had much to do with their refusal to work or move and their being incited to 1nsubordination ‘I'wo days after these same Indians re turned to the agency, expressed regret for their conduet, asked to shake hands with the agent, and promised to comply from the worthless section and go to work, which many have done and are now plowing and planting. This does not indicate that they yet entertain bitter ings inst Major Wright.
