This is the gist of the coming election whatever diverging fssues may be injected into the canvass. A CLERGYMAN in Chicago, following Talmage’s sensationalism, is preaching on the “‘Man Traps of Chicago,’ giving locations and descriptions. The sermons are largely attended by young bloods sceking pointers for new nmusements. MARk TWAIN proposes to spend the summer “‘in a good otd- oned loaf.” Mark's newest fashioned loaf is of the publishing enterprise nature, which takes three-quarters of the dough and gives the author the balance. His profits from General Grant's memoirs have cleared him a cool quarter of a million. € PROBABLY no man in the Umited States eould bear the criticisms and abuse of the tory press and representatives of 8 England with greater composure, and even satisfaction, than Mr. Blaine, and the more severe they can be the better he will like it.

Mean- time, remarks the disgruntied anti Van Wyck editor, the railroads have been selling their lands. “The Union Pacific land office is all but out of business, and the passage of the 1 now would affect that corporation so little that it is supremely careless of the matter.” The door is to be locked after the horse is stolen. Facts give the lie to this gauzy fiction. In February, 1846, the Union Pacific rail- road had taken out patents for 2,410,381 acres out of 13,224,000 of its grant. Of this amount of the original land subsidy between five and six millions were in Ne- braska. According to the books of the general land office in Washington there remained, less than four months ago, 2,500,000 acres of Union Pacific lands in this state which were still un- patented. $o much for the uselessness of Senator Van Wyck's land tax bill as affecting the Union Pacifie. But suppos- ing that every acre of Union Pacific lands had been patented, what bearing would that have on the right or wrong of corporations sherking their just bur- dens of taxation. The nation has do- nated to great monopolies more than 215,000,000 acres of the public do- main, of which many millions of acres are still in the hands of the corporations, untaxed and untaxable, without national legislation to force the issue of patents. A senator is supposed to legislate for the whole country, and not to confine his at- tention to the interests of his home con- stituency alone. Such a calibre of man would doubtless suit the small, base crowd who act as cappers for the Ne- b a railroads, but will hardly fill the requirements of the voters of the state which he represonts. It is the height of impudence in the Omaha republican, organ of the railroads to challenge the work of Senator Van Wyck to compel the land grant roads to bear their due proportion of the burdens of taxation. That paper has neverin its whole existence advocated the taxation of railroad lands. When Judge Crounse in 1873 got his bill through the house of representatives comvelling the Union Pa- cific to take out patents on its unpat- ented lands, the republican state conven- tion made that bill a part of its plat- form. The editor of the BEE, as chair- man of the committece on resolutions, framed this resolution and after a hot de. bate carried 4t through the convention. The only opposition to this plank was from a former editor of the Republican. The bill went to the senate as several such bills have, and was there defeated by the late Senator Hitcheock, one of the owners of the Omaha Republican, It was this invaluable service which made him the choice of Jay Gould and the senatoria factotum of that Wall street worthy. The refreshing impudence of claiming credit for Valentine for getting a bill through to tax railroad lands is equal to Jim Laird's - claim for credit for introducing a similar bill dur- ing the last session. The point involved was that these great railroad strikers managed to get bills in about the time that congress adjourned and when they knew that there was no possible chance that the measure would ever sce daylight in the senate. From the time when Crounse got his bill through the house there has never been much trouble in securing land grant leg- islation in that body. The opposition always came from the house of lords where the corporation attorneys and land syndicates have controlled ma- jorities and thwarted the will of the peo- ple, This1s the citadel which Charles H. Van Wyck has assailed with increasing perseverance nearly five years and which last week he took by storm in a charge which is deseribed as the most brilliant viece of parlinmentary strategy witnessed in the senate for years. Indicting His Party. It is not at all remarkable that Secre- tary Manning, having passed through several months of severe illness from which he is not yet fully recovered, should have as one of the lingering effects of his ailment a somewbat morbid stato of mind, It is remembered that Mr. Man- ning carried with him into his chamber of sickness a keen and perhaps poignant recollection of the repudiation of his theories and the defeat of his plans at the hands of a majority of his party, and it is evident that he has been brooding over this unhappy experience at the very out- set of his public ocarcer. Having been a rather successful politician in New York, excrting at last as the most active sup- porter of Mr, Cleveland's cause an almost undisputed influence in the councils of his party, he went to Washington doubtless with little misgiving as to his ability to project his power to the con- trol of other wings and elements of the party. He encountered disappointment and defeat, and to-day hardly any man in the democratic party exerts less influ- ence than Daniel Manuing. It is obvious also that Mr. Manning realizes his for- lorn position, There is no present interest in the financial or economic views of the secre- tary of the treasury. They have been re- jected, and whether he remains in a posi- tion to again present them to the public attention or they are renewed by a sue- cessor, the, every reason to believe that the history already made respecting them will be repeated. Neither is it im- portant to consider the pessimistic opin- ions of Mr. Manning regarding the pres- ent condition of the count It would not be ditlicult to show that they have a very slender foundation, and it might with equal ease be demonstrated that whatever has recently retarded the industrial interests of the couutry, or whatever dangers now threaten them, ure due rather to the essentially sectional policies announced by the adwinistration than to the rejection of those policies. ‘The unquestioned power of Wall street ideas in shaping the financial opin ions of the president and his secretary of the treasury was not reassuring to the country. It is, however, s matter of interest that Mr. Manning, in his letter to the presi- dent tendering his resiguation as secre- tary of the treasury, very unequivoeally arraigns the democratic party as having been unfaithfal to its traditions and its Elvllges, and in this he has the concur: rence of the presidept. Befyeen the lines that efpress the solicitude of Mr. Manning respecting the policies he has advocated, are to be read a clear and severe condemnation of his patty, the force of which isyery greatly increased by the full acquiescence of Mr. Cleveland. There is reason to suspect that with all his political expe- rience Mr. Manniug had given but very superficial attention to the later charac- ter of the democracy, or he would not be seriously affected by its failure to regard either traditions or pledges. It is more than probable that Mr. Manning will not return to public life, notwithstanding the apparently urgent desire of the president that he shall do so, and in such event his letter will have very great value as the deliberate and final judgment of a distin- guished democrat upon the conduct and character of his party as at present or- ganized and controlled. ANY olass of men who seek to revive the labor agitation, now generally sub- siding with the promise that before the summer passes all controversies will bo adjusted and peaceful relations between employers and employed be universally restored, deserve to be branded as ene- mies of workingmen and the public wel fare. Yet there are agitators and mal- contents who are talking of stirring up new strife, and members of this class are reported at work in some localities to this end. They are for the most part men who live by strife and controversy, thriving upon the disorder which brings loss and privation to their fellows. In- telligent workingmen are in no danger of being misled by these agitators, but the thoughtless fall a prey to their decep- tive arguments, and unfortunately the thoughtless often outnumber the judicious and thus have the power to coerce them into a false position damaging to all. There is good reason to believe that were there a gen- eral subsidence of labor difficulties, with fair assurance that they would not be re- vived for at least a year or two—and we do not think such assurance impossible if wise counsels prevail among working men—the eftect would be to materially stimulate industrial enterprises and im- prove business m all departments. The matter 15 one which commends itself to the serious consideration of intelligent workingmen, and those who give it such attention can safely be trusted not to yield to the appeals of reckless agitators. Fortunately for Omaha there are no indi- cations of any renewal of the slight labor troubles of last spring, which the Knights of Labor in this city assisted materially in allaying Poor Economy in Grading. The lively debate upon the grading or- dinance in the last session of the council brings up once more the subject of the costly mistakes which Omaha has made by her hap-h d system of grading her public streets. It is high time that the solution of the problem shall be left in the hands of vrofessional engincers and the responsibility for success or failure placed on the shoulders where 1t ought to rest. For years past the establish- ment of grades has meant a sharp fight between the public interests and those of the individual prop- erty owners directly aflected. Every change of grade has been bitterly re- sisted. Every original grade has been more strenuously attacked. The engi- neer’s office has been besieged by a score of opposing interests each anxious that the grade established should be fixed with a view to doing the least present damage to property and all quite indifferent as to the future effect upon the city at large. As a consequence we have had grades and changes of grades in every direction, one year a cut and another year a fill, and the next year a wholesale abandonment of all previous profiles. This has Dbeen a costly and a disastrous method of doing business. The time has come when all improve- ments made in Omaha should be built on a permanent foundation. There ought to be no more half-way business. Our thoroughfares should be made on gi lines which will serve the purpose for time to come, no matter who is tempor ily inconvenienced by the improvement. It is the height of folly to cut a street six feet one year, and to go through the process of appraisement of damages con- test in the council and suits in the cou in the year following. The council should stand firm in r. ing pressure to force them to modify or abandon grades which professional judgment and their own coincide in deciding are the best for the interests of the city. Half-way work work is always poor economy. It is amusing to hear the pathetic com- plaints of public corporatious like street car and water companies that patronage will not yet justify extended improve- ments of their systems. Suchenterprises based on franchise rights are the most profitable in the country, and reap the richest returns from their investment be- cause they become public necessities and enforce a growing patronage with the growth of the communities where they are planted. An inyestigation by a trade paper into the value of thirty seven street railways i seven cities of the country shows that the stocks of all but seven ure above par. The stock of thirty is above 115, while that of twenty-seven is above 135, of seventeen 175 and ever, and of fourteen above 200, The stocks of er companies of equal uge will show ely less favorable statistics. The value of these corporations consists largely m the value of the franchise for the oceupation of public thoroughfares, which once acquired can never be seri- iously invalidated by threatened com- petition, SoxE of the relaying of disturbed paye- ments is being very poorly done and shows either ignorance on the part of the workmen or wrate! supervision by the board of public works.

PresiveNt and Mrs. Cleveland are now at home, but the bulldog i the front door of the white house has been un- chaiged. The Genéral Lakd ' Commissioner. There is no questiont’ that Secretary Lamar and Mr. Spiirks exceeded their powers in suspending land entries while the laws under whigh such entries were made were gtill in operation. The prompt revocation of the order was the only course to be pursued. But there is no reason why a mistake admittedly made with the object of protecting the govern- ment should he used as n homb to shell an honest and capable official out of the fortress from which he is waging such effective war against the thieves and plunderers of the public domain. The very day after the secretary of the interior and the commissioner of the general land office revoked the obnox- ious order, the house repealed the pre- emption, timber culture and desert land acts on the very groun which Mr, Sparks made the basis of his suspension of their operations, The howl against the land commis- sioner arises from the fact that for the first time, with one exception, in twenty- five years the office is in the hands of a man who cares more for the interests of actual settlers than for the pocket books of railrond wreckers, land syndicates and pre-emption grabbers, The surgeon's knife has been used freely to cut off the exeresences which have grown with the growth of the operations of our land laws and the vigorous policy of for- retting out fraud and jobbery, has stricken dismay to the hearts of the plunderers of the public domain. Mr, Sparks has made mistakes. But unlike his predecessors every mistako made has been in the line of & more rigid execution of the laws for the purpose of preserving the remnants of a magnificent landea inheritance for actual tillers of the soil, He has made no mistake which, con- trary to the laws, has donated millions of acres of the public lands tb giant corpo- rations. He has made no nustake through which wealth dicates have been able to divert vast sections of the public do- mam to their own personal aggran- dizement. He has committed no error that has caused a suspicion of his honesty on the part of honest men, And that is why the chorus against Sparks rings along every watercourse monopolized by bogus pre-emptors, floats in waves of sound across miles of timber claims on which a tree has never flourished, and echoes loudly from the offices of great monop- olies, whose dishonest possessions have been wrested from their grasp by the strong arm of the general land com- missioner, THE gentl n contributed to the dip- lomatic service of the country by Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, Mr. F.

Winston is something of a character. Before gding away he gained notoriety by his alleged oftort to sceure a military position that would give him a prestige at the court of the shah, and an- nounced his intention to livein Persia on a scale of magnificenée which should vut to shame the representatives of all other nations. About twe months ago his name was unenviably associated wish the chief actor in a sad occurrence in Chicago, a young and handsome woman who died from the excessive use of opium. Altogether Winston seems to be an entirely natural product, politically, of Chicago and Carter Harrison. For the good of the country he cannot too greatly prolong his proposed journey around the world.
