The week just closed has been erowned with substantial rewards for Senator Van Wyck. [t began with his brilliant vie- tory in defeating Senator Edmunds’ at- tempt to table his amendment to the Northern Pacific forfeiture bill, and closed with his successful and audacious movement which carried to its passage the railroad land taxation measure and placed 1t in the hands of a conference committee of both houses in readiness for final action. “Brilliant strategy,” suys the New York Herald, ‘‘carried Senator Van Wyck's measure to tax the rail- road land grants and to relieve the people from a part of the burden of unjust taxation under which they have been staggering.” The scene in the senate, records the New York Tvmes, when “Senstor Van Wyck de- bated successfully with senator after sen tor, and sometimes with two or three together, was watched with the greatest glee by a majority of his colleagues, who enjoyed the debate more than any simi- lar discussion of the session, Mr, Van- Wyck answered Edmunds in a way that did not at all please that senator. Mr. Dolph undertook to discompose the Ne- braska senator and made a dismal failure. Mr. Mitchell* tried the same thing and met the samo fate. Then the two Oregon senators and Mr. Edmunds together plied Mr. Van Wyck with ques- tions and found him ready to answer each with a retort that was right to the point. Mr. Harrison was equally unsue- cessful in his attempt to overthrow the Nebraska senator. After all these had been silenced, the last attack on Mr. Van Wyck was made by Mr. Plumb, who would have been better satisfied with himself after it wasover if he had left the Nebraska senator alone.” “It was a bad defeat for the railroad senators,” says the T%mes. The people of Nebraska will take a just pride in reading the praises which the ability and honest work of their senator has drawn out from the leading papers of the country. His victory over the monopoly senators is a victory for the tax-payers of the west, and a triumph ot perseyerance and energetic labor car- ried on through five years of public service. —_— After the Battle. Announcement will be made on Thurs- day by the deteated English cabinet whether they will resign their offices or appeal to the country by a dissolution of parliament. The majority by which tho home rule bill was rejected gives them the option of turning over the govern- ment to their opponents, or of demand- ing the popular verdict on their course through a new election and a new parlia- ment. The defeat of the government bill by the decisive majority of thirty seems to have been unexpected and may materially affect the decision of the cabinet. Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues may feel it advisable under the eircumstances to permit the formation of a coalition ministry and to afford the country the opportunity of seeing how fruitless will be any attempt to carry on the govern- ment with a parliament so divided as the present, On the other hand there is strong pressure from the angered con- stituencices to force an immediate disso- lution and to afford the people the op- portunity of hurling their traitorous rep- resentatives from a power which they have abused. It matters little what may be the pres- ent decision, the people must have their say in the end. Dissolution may be tem- porarily postponed, but it is inevitable before the close of autumn. Then the liberal leaders, led by the greatest Eng- lish statesman of the age, will appeal— not to men who make concessions only when they are compelled to—but to the body of the English people among whom etill remains the old and homely English sentiment of fair play. The Business Situation. The general trade outiook has many encouraging features. InOmaha jobbers report heavior sales and easier collections, while the bank clearings continue to show alarge increase in the volume of business. The disturbing effect of the labor agita- tlon is still felt in some branches of busi- ness, but it is causing less inconvenience and apprehension, and there is a bettor feeling in nearly all departments of trade and industry. Exports of breadstufls, provisions and cotton continue very fair, and the home-trade distribution of farm products and manufactured goods is larger in the aggregato than during the closing weeks of last month, although traders as a rule are not buying much in advance of actualrequirements. A good deal more business has been done in most lines during the past fortnight tnan was thought vrobable during the prevalence of the scare and uncertainty about the labor troubles, but merchants do not look for any sustained gencral activity owing to the luteness of the scason. There is more confidence, however, in the pros- pects for an early opening of a successful fall season in most branches. The dry goods market continues mod- erately nctive, Wool is in better re- quest, and prices throughout the west show an average advance of two cents over last year's elip. The iron market is firm, and leading mills are running on full time. Sales of steel rails last weok footed up a total of 80,000 tons, During the past week leading operators in wheat in New York, Chicago and other grain centers were strong buyers for a vise. The vesult was a strong market and yalues advancing from 8 to 4 cents a bushel The change of epeculative sentiment springs from several onuses, among which are unfavorable erop reports from some of the forelgn wheat ficlds and from Minnesota and Dakota, and the reduction in visible stocks consequent upon the ro- cent liberal export movement and lighter receipts; but the chef clement of strength is probubly to be found in the large short interest outstanding at low prices, The buying for short account has been an important factor in helping the ndvance in prices. Export business early in the week was quite active, but foreign markets have not responded to the advance on this side, and there has been less dong within & day or two. ‘The decrease in the visible supply of whoat last weck was abeut 8,000,000 bushels. Stocks of winter wheat are light in all markets, Droughts and chineh bugs ure causing some apprehen- sion in the northwestern wheat belt, and there are the usual reports of insect ray- ages in the winter wheat sections, but as yet there is no reliable evidence of seri- ous injury to the crop in any quarter. In the west corn prices are ¢ cent lower on larger receipts, and in New York the June option is 3 cents lower as a result of free selling cansed by a feeling of in- security as to the keeping quality of stocks store, which are largely made up of winter-shelled grains recently shivped by lake and canal from Chicago. —_—— How He Dodged. According to Judge Post’s York organ, which never loses an opportunity of stabbing the senator, Senator Van- Wyck dodged voting on the oleomargar- ine bill. As the article making the charge was written before that measure reached the senate, it would be interesting to know where the editor obtained the in- formation which he had the distinction of exclusively publishing. A glance at the dispatches of Monday will show just how Senator Van Wyck “‘dodged” on the question. It was in his usual manner. He led the debate against shelving the bill as it came from the house, and had the satisfaction of winning a victory on behalf of the friends of the dairy interests and the ihousands of petitioners from the state which he represents, The bill will be considered by the senate and in all probability will become a law as the re- snlt of Senator Van Wyck's exertions, This is the kind of “dodging” which the people appreciate. It is one of the many political virtues of General Van Wyck that he is a man of strong convictions and is always ready to stand or fall with the open expression of hus political faith. During his five years of senatorial service his voice has been heard and his vote re- corded on every issue of na- tional interest. It has never required a smelling committee to ascertain what the views of the senator from Nebraska were on any leading question. The pub- lic has always found that out without much delay. No member of the body in which he is an mmportant and dis- shed factor, has been more uni- his seat or more faithful in the discharge of his duties to his constituents, When the scavengers of the railroad organs discover that the senator has ‘‘dodged” a vote on any important issue, Iot them mark the record with red pencil and preserve it carefully for campaign use. It will be a rare and a precious document. A Pertinent Inquiry. When this paper propounds the very pertinent question whether we have a chairman of the board of public works, our amiable contemporary, the Herald, responds that “thatthe city hasan honest and eflicient chairman of the board of public works who finds time not only to discharge his duties well, but also keeps one eye on the city engincer's depart- ment and s al jobbers."” This contemptible fling at the ety engincer, coupled with the in- timation that Mr. House has been the means of throttling jobbers with whom either the engineer or somebody connected with this paper has been in collusion, cannot be passed by in silence. The relations of Andrew Rosewater to the chief proprietor of this paper never have and never will effect 1ts views upon any question of public policy. As city engincer Andrew Rosewater must either stand or fall upon his own merits. If Mr. House or the adventurer who edits the Herald knows anything that in any way affects the integrity of the city engineer let them produce their charges and give the mayor and council a chance to investigate and to put a more honest man in the place. If therehas been any collusion with jobbery in the engineer’s office, which Mr. House has discovered, it is his duty to inform the council at once. If he or his champion of the Herald knows anything connect- ing the publisher of thispaper with job- bery in any form we challenge them to make it known. Our inquiry as to the whereabouts of Mr. House did not emanate from the engincer’'s oftice or any other oflice, pub- lic or private. We are in the habit of inquiring into the conduct of local im- provements, and we always discuss them without fear or favor. When Mr. House was proposed for the chairmanship of the bourd of public works he received our endorsement, and his unanimous confirmation by the council was largely due to the fact that the BEE had com- mended him as honest and capable. It has turned out that Mr. House, however competent he may be, has shown himself negligent and ineflicient. Every hour of the day we stumble upon some public mmprovement that needs his personal su- pervision, but has been overlooked. We do not know where Mr. House spends his days or what takes up most of his time, but everybody who walks our streets knows that he does not supervise public works, While James Creighton may have been rough and severe in his dealings with contractors and people who obstructed strects or failed to make ordered im- provements, there was no trouble about {inding him where work was going on. When the council ordered an improve- ment Mr. Creighton saw that it was done and done promptly and properly, ‘The people and the council haye been very forbearing with Mr. House. We will go into details if it is necessary to show what awretched and slovenly super- vision our public works have received since Mr, House has taken charge. The facts are nolorious as well as aggravat- ing. Mr. House must either mend his ways and enforce the orders of the coun- «l and his own orders, or he must¥ind some position that will demand less at- tention on his part. There is no use of mincing matters any longer. The board of public works and its chairman must either show more reason for their exist- ence, or they might as well be abolished. E—r— Mg. Lavar once compared Joff Davis to George Washington, and Zach Chan- dler fired a shot at him that reverberated around the entire globe. And now we are told by the Omaha champion of job- bers that Hoffmun is no more a horse thicf than Blaine isa house breaker. This is bard on Mr. Blaine. After all there is only one step from the sublime to the ridiculou Mr. Long and Rev.

The bride is Miss Blanche Thursfield, and the groom is Mr, Thomas Bowers, now a merchant in Richmond, but at the time this love story opens a resident of this city. One afternoon last June Mr. Bowers boarded an up-town Madison avenue car, and was soon deoply inter- ested 1n an afternoon paper. l’rcaoutli a handsome young lady entered and tool aseat beside nhim. He glanced at the new and pretty passenger, and as he looked at the pretty face and figure be- side him he noticed the young lady draw her hand from her pocket and a blush mantle her cheek. 1e saw that she had forgotten her purse, and asshe was in tho actof signaling the conductor to stop the car he volitely asked her if he could of any service. ‘The flush again rose to her cheek, and her embarrassment in- creased when she informed Mr. Bowers of her situation, “But permit me to payyour fare," re- quested the gentleman, *If you will give me yowr card so 1 can ni_turn the money I will consent,” she Ye- ied. P'l‘he conductor came along and Mr, Bowers dropped the aflditional nickel in his hand. “I um ever so muchwbliged,” said the pretty “Now, will /you give me your card?

Asmisatos, D, C. May 24, 1890, —To the itor of the Reporter: 1 cannot believe you intentionally would thus mistate facts as you did in the following, in your paper of April 20, 1880 Senator Van W k has received great credit from the Oniaha Bex and some other wers for the passage of the Knevals land . The fact is there are two bills pending for the settlers on the Knevals lands. tor Van Wyck's bill has passed the senato and is now ‘pending in the house. It pro- vides that all persons holding a government title to these lands_shall be paid £3.50 per acre. Congressman Laird’s bill, which has assed the house and s now pending in the provides only for payment to actual A large t of these lands have ors, Senator Van Wyck is prominent, having bought 1,200 acres of the Innds. His' bill _therefore ||-mvhh-s for the payment of $3.50 to all holders of titles, including speculator nd if the bill becomes alaw Senator Van W, would receive from the national treasury more than _$4,000, The senafor’s anxiety to secure the passage of his own bill is thus quite_easily explained. Mr. Laird’s bill provides for the payment of the money that " the settlers actually paid, and seems by long odds the more meritorous bill of the two. Van Wyck's bill seems to cover a little bill for himself, and will not be likely pass the house. It is hoped that Mr. s bill pass the senate, and thus seeure justice to the actual settler, whether the Speculators make the big protit they hope for or settle been sold to spec This is only a sample of the many, in- tentional or otherwise, mistepresenta- tions which at this time frequently ap pear in certain journals in Nebraska. This species of warfare will probably not commend itself to the judgment of far minded friends or enemies. I only notice it because its gross mis-statements seem to reflect upon my personal integr! The facts are, in the 47th congr s, in which Mr. Laird was not a member, I itroduced a bill for relief of settiers and purchasers of these lands, ete. The bill without amendment passed the senate but failed in the house. In the 48th con- ess 1 introduced the same bill, except gre the first bill gave $3.50 ‘mr acre, which was then supposed would settle with Mr. Knevals, but before the meeting of the 48th congress, a scttlement was made with Mr. Knevals on the of #3.50 per acre and that was inserted in the bill and as the only change. Mr. introduced precisely the same bill in the house. This bill passed the senate that congress, but i failed the house. In the Forty-ninth congroess Lintroduced the same bill in the senate, and Mr. Laird the same bill in the house. The bill passed the senate without amend- ment, and the same Dbill received the recommendation of the house committee, and when considered in the house Mr. Holman, of Indiana, insisted that the bill be amended by inserting “the price to purchasers should be only $1.25 per acre. Laird and myself agreed ti it woula be better to let this bill pass even with Mr. Holman's amendment,and 1f we thought proper have it corrected, if possible, in conference committee. This would secure to the settlers the $3.50 d sired. So that the only bill ever consi ered in senate or house, was the one of- fered 1 the Forty-seventh congress, and there was no separate bill in the house at any time. owned some of the Knevals land, but as I entered it under the law and paid for it, and received patents on it and paid taxes about fifteen years, it was no crime. 1 probably could not benefit others without in a measure sharing that bene No one objected when in my name and at my expense, thus far, I ear ried the suit with Knevals to the Uni States supreme court. After the action of the house I toid Mr. Laird if I was the oniy one to be benefited I would accent Mr. Hollman's amendment and accept $1.25 per ucre, but he thought and so did I, that & number of versons were 1n_the same situation as myself. He ascertained that many others.were to be benefited who were properly entitled to the $3.50 and irsisted that an effort should be made to protect them, and Mr. Laird and myself propose to protect them, even though 1 should also be benofited. These persons, as well as myself, were com- pelled to pay Mr. Knevals §8.50 per acre to save the Iand and it is only Llhis sum which is sought from the government, and this will hot repay the taxes an interest for fifteen years on the money originally paid. Let me add here that I paid for this land in cash, not college scriv. Also the yarn in the Omana Republican of what I said and did with an agent of Knevals is utterly fulse.

Oxana, Neb.,, May 17, 1886, —[M V. Powderly, Grand Master Workman, Knights of Labor, Scranton, Pa.: r ir: As a laboring man in all my early and as a business man in iy latter and with a most |rr0{m|n(1 respect for honest labor, and its full and proper support, also capital and its unrestrained proper development—please allow me to call your attention and cousideration to matters of vital importance to your rganization, which if adl to by its nbers throughout the United States, will not only make the Knights of I popular and respected, but will cc a solid friendship between capital and labor s0 much desired.

An advance to his hire of 20 per cent would make his wages $3 00; take from this his former expensos— 2.00—and you will sce that his net profits are increased 100 per cent. By figuring 10 per cent advance on the same ex ample you will sce his net earnin are increased 50 per cent, and by figuring 6 per cent advance you will see his next earnings are increased 25 per cent. I think you will agree with me that only a very few laboring ien have ever been successful business men, and, therefore, as a class have not con- ceived a true basis of figuring net earn- ings of labor, while the business man can s at a_glance that to comply to a sudden demand by a strike of even b per cent, will tend to ruin his business unless he can imm; ately secure an advance on his productions,which can seldom be ac- complished_in less than ninety days; therefore, Knights of Labor should never strike and never boycott; but make their demands sixty or ninety days in ad- vance, and never for more than 8 th 5 per cent. at any one time; and every employer should do likewise by labor in case of reducing their wages; and in either case an answer should be given within thirty days aftera demand of vance or reduction has been made. T'h method, if adhered to, will constantly tend to bring capital and labor together and cement them. I donot believe that you or any other candid man will advo- cate that ten hours’ pay should be given for aven nine hours’ work, let alone cight hours, which has lately been asked by so many of the Knights of Labor, and hered to by a few who submitted beea they had contracts to fill. 1 predict that unless an arbitration as noted above is_established, and facts by figures of profit and loss to both capital and labor ean be settled upon basis that will show their respec val- ues—that much seems now as victories won by strikes, will ruin alike both capi- tal and labor to an alurming extent be- fore another winter sets in upon our be- loved land. Now, to the second matter of import- ance. You unaerstand full well that treating has caused many a Knight of Labor to lose his reason, and join for a time in shameful anarchistic demonstra- tions; and there is nothing that order can do that will so effectually sep- arate the order from all app of anarchistio desires and demonstrations and thereby gain respect and favor with capitalists, us for ench and every mem- ber who will have his drinks, to nover pay for any drinks in any way for any other persons; and besides the above, such members will drink less and save more of their earn- ings. I would to God every laboring man could sce it to his interests to abstain from all saloons and save to themsclves and families their harn earned money; for I believe that saloons a rule are places of idleness, and, not only t serve as pitfalls 'to millions of laboring men. It is bad enough for ecapitalists and business men and anarchists to give support in such an extensive measure to this nuisance known as saloons, and any reform you can institute through the honest laboring class to do away with the saloon, would in my estimation, not only your order beneficially, but humanity also. I trust that you will re- cognize my feeble eflort in all the above as coming from an entirely unbiased standpoint, as I consider the greatest good to the greatest number the motto which we should all seck to learn. I re- fer you to any whom you may know in this state as to my social business stand- ing. Very truly yours, P. C.
