THE OMAHA DAILY E: MONDAY JUNE 21, 1886, nng-m he- \lnngc-r Reformers The proprosed abolition of the sur- veyor gencralship of Nebraska is hailed with joy and pride by the chiefs of the packing house democracy. They rejoice at the prospect that Garduer must go at last, and they take great pride in the ef- fect of their patriotic effort in the in terest of reform ana economy. From their standpoint it is a triumph to the surveyor general's office of Nebras transferred from Plattsmouth to St. Paul, Minn. And in thig trinmph they are en titled to all the glory. For our part we have no tears to sted for Gardner, and we have no interest to subserve in the maintenance of the surveyor general's office. The performunce of the packing-house chiefs and the course of their jubilant or gan is likely to re harmony unong the ranks of the Nebraska democe racy. On the contrary, it has already aroused a good deal of indignation and disgust. The arrant hypocrisy of the re formers who have hounded Gardner and clamored for the abolition of the surveyor general’s office is exhibited in this in stance in the most striking manner. When Judge W L lay re- signed the surveyor generalship it was expected and intended by the packing house chief, that Robert Clegg a Weaver democrat, would be appointed his But the appointment for somo cause hung fire. Before the vacancy was filled See- retary Lamar rec 1 the following let- ter, dated Omaha, May 11, 1885: : Mr, Basil M. Ramsey, of Plattsmouth, is an applicant for the position of surveyor general of Nebraska. Some time ago we were asked in regard to the char ability of Mr. Robt. Clegg, of Falls City, ) braska, to which we at once replied by wire, stating that Mr. Clegg was a man of most ex- cellent character, ete, We are now asked to endorse Mr. Ramsey, which we most gladly do. Heisa gentleman of the strictest hon- esty and in ¥, and there is no man more competent or more peculiarly fitted to fill the position. With great respect, your obedient servants, JavEs Member Nat'l Dem. Com, GEORGE L, MILLER. While Ramsey and Clegg were wrest- ling over the bone, Mr. Gardner walked oft with the meat, and left the packing house spoils-brokers boiling over with rage and fury. The question is what would they have done had Ramsey or Clegg been made survey al? Would they have clamored for the aboli- tion of the oflice on the ground of econ- omy? Would they have enlisted Sam Randall to strike out the appropriation for the sake of reform? Would they not have been lobbying around cong for an increased appropriation on the plea that the Platte river or the Elkhorn had to be meandered again or the Dake boundary had to be re-surveyed? Per- haps the chief organist of the packing house can enlighten us on these points. Meantime it is quite probable that the pooling of surveyor-generalships will not take place. But if it does, the is a strong probability that ated headquarters will be located at Lin- coln with Gardner in full charge. When Nebraska and Dakota were con- solidated into one internal reyenue dis- t, Dakota was made tributa to 3 idated oflice at Omaha. The presentsurvs generalship includes the state of Towa, and it would be nothing strange if Da- kota and Minnesota were added. How will the packing-house, dog-in-the- manger reformers like Gardner as the surveyer general of three states and one territory? not ore suceessor. Death of Hon. J. W. Chapman. The announcement of the death of Hon. J. W. Chapman, mayor of Council Blufts, was a sad surprise to his many friends in Iowa and Nebraska. He had grown up from childhood in Iowa, and always lived in that state, with the ex- ception of a few years passed in Ne- braska. During that he lived in Neb a, to the sum- mer of 1866, Mr. Chapman occupied quite a promment position in business and political eircles. He representea C: county in the territorial assembly of Ne- braska for two terms, 186263 and 1863-64, and in the fall of 1864 he was elected to the territorial council or upper hou and wasa prominent candidate for pre dent of that body, being defeated, afte bitter contest and a dead-lock, by Judge Mason. Mr. Chapman was a member of the committee which formulated the first Ne- braska state constitution which adopted when Nebraska became a sta n 1867, During the year 1865 Mr. Chapman became oditor of the Omaha Republican, in which position he displayed consider- able literary ability and demonstrated himself to be a vigorous writer, especially upon political matters both local and national. An opportunity was offered him in 1866 to purchase un interest in the Council Blufts Nonpares!, and he took ad- vantage of it. Since that time he has re- sided in Council Blufls, and always took a prominent part in local, state and na- tionel politics, He won the confidence of the people who honored him with im- portant positions of trust and responsi- bility, and he always proved himsel faithful to hisduties. Heserved as Um States marshal of Iowa from 1876 to 1883 At the time ot his death he was mayor of Council Blufis. That city has in his death lost one of its most pronminent and The Case of Senator Payn There is an apparent indisposi the purt of the committae on priv and elections of the United States senate to investigato the charges of bribery and corruption made by a commttee of the Ohio legislature against Senator Payne of that state, and yet it is obviously the duty of the committee to make the inves- tigation, which is nocessary likewise to u:.- vindieation of Senator Payne, if the s are false. When the allegations were fiest made publie that Mr, Payne had secured his election by corrupt means, that gentleman, while ignoring their irresponsible author, proclaimed that if the charges were preferred from any respectable source he would welcome an inyestigation, and when the lower branch of the legislature appointed a committee to investigate the allegations the senator addressed & letter to the chairman tendering every facility, even to the extent of examining his private books, for prosceuting the inquiry. Ewploying ouly the usual wmethods of investigation the com- wmittee concluded that there was sufficient in the charges to warrant an inquiry by the United States senate, and the matter was submitted to have | | and Mr. Payne was represented | using any means that body. Mr. l‘nym\ made & very plausible statement to the senate on the submission of the case from the Ohio leg: islature, which, while it may have satis fied most people that the senator was not personally guilty of corrupting logis tors, did not wholly remove a widespread belief that corruption was emploved in his behalf. The oal legislature which elected him was a seandal to Ohio, at Co lumbus during the senatorial contest by men of long-cstablished reputation for however crooked and corrupt, to carry their point. No one knew their capabilities in this respect better than Mr. Payne, and the fact that these men were his aceredited agents is in itself a damaging circumstance Very recent information from Colum bus, Ohio, states that since this matter was submitted to the senate further evi dence showing corruption has been de veloped and that there are demo ts who are willing to go before the senate with important testimony adverse to the ae- cused senator. From the same source it is ulso stated that the friends of Mr. Payne in Ohio are oxerting themselves to the utmost to suppress this new evidence, using persuasion or threats as the circam stances scem to require, while in Wash- ington the son-in-law of the senator, sec retary of the y Whitney, is using all offorts to defeat w thorough in- Whetner all or any part of these reports are true, the duty of the sen- ate i the matter is clear, and it cannot avoid or come short in the performs of that duty without discrediting i the opinion of the country. ‘The ¢ an interest and significance not lmnlul to Ohio. —e Overdoing It, [he wholly uncailed for and indefensi- ble att made in the ‘house of repre- sentatives some two weeks ago by an Al- ma member and ex-confederate brig- adier, upon the character of Edwin M. Stanton, supplicd a text to numerous gentlemen of the house who have almost daily felt called upon to lash the offend- ing southron and vindicate llw ot and memory of the gre while the matter has been very generally talked about in the newspape Judge Kelley of Pennsylvauin opened the case by a very proper demand that the offensive language be expunged from the Congressional Recora, while with his usual divcetness he denounced as they deserved the unwarranted remarks of the Al r. Every right- minded citizen commended the course of Mr. Kelley, which seemed to be all that the circumstances required in the way of reproof and condemnation; but the op- portunity was too good to be lost by certain other gentlemen of keenly sensitive patriotism, some of whom have waken a shot at the Alabaman, while doubtless there are others loaded to the muzzle awaiting an opportunity to fire upon the vulnerable game. ‘The result thus far has been to give the Alabama TEp @ a notoriely which he could not otherwise have secured, and un- doubtedly to greatly strengthen him in the regard of his constituents and of a large element in the south, which very likely is the object he sought to attain by s weter of Stanton. No language can be too severe probation of assaults upon the patriotic men who saved the those who sought to destroy it, but the subject is not inexhaustible, nor is it wise to clevate into national notice every blatherskite who unwarrantably and in- decently makes such ults in order to the better commend himself to a sympa- thizing constituency. As to the character of Edwin M. Stanton, that can safely be left to the just and impartial verdict of history. He had faults, but he also had great and crowning virtues, first among which was his all-embracing patriotism. Despite the attacks of narrow critics and base calumniators, the name of Edwin M. Stanton will ever be honorably asso- ted in the history of the great conflict with that of Abraham Lincoln, whos deviating confidence the great v tary always possessed. in re- at and union by Nothing Taken Back. At the laying of the corner stone of the board of trade building, the editor of the 3E made the declaration t! the lo tion of the terminus of the Pacific tel aph at Omaha, by the late Edward cighton, pointed the pathway to the Pacific railroad, which became the prime cause of the commecial supremacy of Omaha. Thisdeclaration of fact is made the text for an editorial by Dr. Miller, who exclaims: “Is it possible that Mr, Rosewater used language like this?” This question would imply that the ad- ission on our part that Omaha’s growth been largely due to the Pacitic tele- graph and railroad is something remark- able. Coupled with the further statement by the doctor that for preaching this kind of gospel * he had for many dreary and doubtful years been subjected to personal calumny,’” the idea is sought to be conveyed that we have backed down from our former pogition as to the rela- tions of Omaha and the Union Pacific. This is not true. We have never denied that the location of . the Union Pacific at Omaha has contributed largely toward making ner the metropolis of this section. Weo have simply mamtained, and we still maintain, that Omaha has been erippled and her growth returded by the policy pursued by the managers of the road, from Tom Scott down to Jay Gould. The location of the Union Pacific at Omaha was made by Abraham Lincoln, and the nation practically built the road. The Credit Mobilier ring and Jay Goutd have exploited the road and wellnigh wreeked it. ‘They could not take the-road out of Omaha, although they often threatened to destroy this city if we did not submit to their levies of blackmail and rapacious extortion, It is not to the credit of Dr. Miller to boast that he has preached the gospel of abjeet submission to highway robbery and plunder in bridge tolls and fr rates. It goes withoutsaying that Oy would be larger than Kansas City to-day if Gould and Dillon had liv P to the con- tract which the Union Pacific had made with the city in accepting donations of a million in money and lands. We have nothing to tzke back with regurd to the *“*cow-shed” depot, the Dillonville trans- for or ihe coborts of political bummers formerly maintained at the expense of the Union Pacific. The apology for these abuses and wrongs we leave tothe Omaha Herald, which has ted at the orib of the giant corporation for years, and has never tuul,:ublu to see any wrong committed y il The A private dis] fort Omaha Job. ch’ from Senator Man derson to Dr. Georgd L. Miller announces the passage by the s¢nate of the bill to remove Fort Omaha to some point south west of the city. Whae pretets which it is proposed to rolocate Omaha were embotied in the report drafted by Senator Manderson and sub mitted by him to the senate on April 6th The report declares that Fort Omaha 15 now 8o ¢ ant from railroad connection that supplies cannot be conveniently laid down at the fort without much delay and expense. The area of the grounds, it is also said, is too restricted for eflicient military movements, especially artillery drill and get practice. Great also laid upon the vrice asked for grounds adjacent to the fort which are needed in order to secure the area re quired for tillery drill and ritle prac tice. Itisfurther asserted that the pre sent buildings at the fort are neither ade quate to the needs of the service nor sufti ciently comfortable for the force sta tioned there All this is very plausible, but the fact remains that the whole scheme of re moval has its origin with a syndicate of land speculators, who expect to pocket a cool half million by this job. The bill authorizing the secretary of war to sell the fort is soloosely drawn that you could drive a coach and four through it. Under its provisions the government would hardly realize enough to pay for the syndicate farm ter miles out of the city let alone having a surplus suflicicnt to construct the buildings and quarters at the new fort, While it is true that General Howard recommended this change to General Sherid Sheridan recoms mended it to the we hap- pen to know that General Howard was subject to great pr rom influential arters, and he wa ger to get the jor generalship that he did not dare to :nd the senatorial influence. The construction of the belt hine does away with the pretense that Fort Omaha is distant from railroad conneetion. The extension of the street railway will soon render travel and traflic between the fort and the city easy and expeditious. Additional grounds can, in our opinion, be purchased for a great deal less money than it would cost to replace the build- ings already erected at the present fort. To the city of Omaha the removal of the fort ten miles out would prove a serious drawback, even from a business stand- point. At present the officers of the fort and their families are within easy reach of the sto and shops of the city, and they, contribute largely toward maintaining obur dpera house and other places of amusemént. If located ten miles out they would be deprived both of the social and business privileges they now enjoy, to the detriment of the community and their own discomfort. This whmm- been carried far enough. le job, gotten up in disregard of the interests of Omaha. Our citizens must act premptly and send in their protest to the house before it passes that body. The military commit- tee of the house should be fully informed in regard to this scheme before it recom- mends the bili been often said that Omaha is ate of Nebraska, but from a Ma- sonic standpoint, as shown by the newly- elected officers of the grand. lodge, the state of Nebraska is almost entirely ab- sorbed by Omaha. The grand master, grand secretary and grand treasurer are all citizens of Omahy, while the deputies, wardens and minor officials are gener- ously distributed throughout other por- tions of the state, Tuere were 800 caitle, 2,800 hogs and 200 sheep sold at th uth Omaha Union stockyards on Friday, and it was only an average day. Omaha iy rapidly com- ing to the front as a leading live stock market. It is predicted by the live stock men that within one year the sales of hogs alone will amount to 10,000 a day. THE proposed enterprise of building a dummy street car line to the South Omaha sto ought to be carried out ¢ Jnion Pacific evidently does not intend to give the people proper communication with that busy suburb. t such a dummy line would pay there is but little doubt. Tue Herald asks, “is there to be a cycle of editor killing?” As two editors have recently been shot—one seriously wounded and the other killed—it might be proper to say that there has been a bicycle of editor shooting. THE building inspector is now ready for business. No building can now be erected in this city without a permit, This is a fact that should not be over- looked.
