The West has made Chicago.”’ If the journal guilty of this extraordinary piece of heterodoxy does not find cause of bitter repentance in a rapidly decreas- ing subscription list, then have we had a most erroneous opinion of the loyalty of the average Chicagoan. THERE is certainly some mistakes which have the authority of precedents forty years old, particularly when they are made witn the best of mo- tives. But even this obviously just view will probably not be c..ceded by those ‘who have become unalterably prejudiced against Commissioner Sparks. The gift of $10,000 by George W. Childs and Anthony J.

The | | has | eoln A Broad Difference, The brazen eflort of the anti-Van Wyck press to represent the senator as a turncoat on the railroad issue cannot de- ceive anti-monopolists who are familiar with the senator's record. It is calcu- lated, however, to mislead a numerous class of citizens who have not paid close attention to Pacific railroad A scathing editorial on the Union Pacific funding bill which appeared last week in | in the New York Commercial Advertiser ctiually been republished by the Lin- Journal, under the head of “Van Wyck's Favorite Measure.” Nobody has abject tool of the Union Pa- and all the er railroads in Ne- braska than the man at the helm of the Journal, but his hatred for Van Wyck, who in times past has defeated his state printing steals and other jobs, is 0 intense that he is willing to stah his monopoly patrons in order to get a pre- text for striking at Van Wyck, Now there is a broad difference be- tween the funding vill which Van Wyck ccused of favoring and the bills to en- the Union Pacific to construct branches, which he doos support. The Union Pacific railroad extension bill is a scheme to legalize th redit Mobelier frauds and the virious wless issues of bonds that have been piled up by Durant, Dillon, Gould & Co. against the Union Pacitic property during the past fiftecn years. Instead of requiring the stock-hol- ders to make good the enormous theft of dishonest managers id directors, it is proposed to consolidate this debt and extend its payment for seventy vears. In other words, congress proposes to grant to the stock-jobbers who manipu- Jate Pacific railroad stocks the privilege of levying a tax upon the patrons of the road that will enable them to pay the whole debt, interest and prmcipal, and even a surplus to pay dividends on forty millions of stock which nas not paid the y over ten cents on the dollar. niquitous projectto compel the pro- of Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming and Colorado to submit to seventy continuous extortion will vigorously opposed by Sena- tor Van Wyck when it comes up in the sena for discussion. It is a measure to which he has never given countenance or support in any shape. The bills introduced by Senator Van Wyck to enable the Union Pacific to con- struct feeders to its main line are in no connected with the seventy vear funding bill. One of these, introduced by him last winter, proposed to allow the road to expend a portion of the deposit now in the sinking fund for the construc- tion of branch lines in Kansas and Ne- br: This bill was very carefully drawn with regard to the intercsts of the government. The money was to be ex- pended under the direction and superyi- sion of the department of the interior, and the road thus built was to remain prae- tically under the control of the govern- ment until the money was refunded. Con- struction rings were excluded, stock- watering prohibited, and a limit fixed to the tolls. As a subsutute for this bill Senator Van Wyek has introduced a bill drafted with a view of simply authoriz- ing the Union Pacific railroad to use its credit in the construction of branch by becoming an endorser of bonds issued for their construction. This bill was in- troduced by Senator Van Wyck at the urgent request of the Omaha board of trade and upon petitions signed by more than twenty thousand merchants and citizens residing on the lines of the Union acific, It is natural that the roads competing with the Union Pacific, which are invading its territory, would use all their influence to defeat this meas- ure. The interest of the people of Ne- braska in this respect is not 1dentical with the interest of these rival roads. They want competition where it is possi- ble, and they want connection with the Union Pacifle system at points that are not yet favored by competing lines, The hue and cry that the government loan will be impaired by allowing the Union Pacific to endorse the bonds of branch lines is all bosh. Uncle Sam hasa sec- ond mortgage on the road, and if the road should actually issue a third mort- gage the prior claim of the government would in no way be aflected. By build- ing feeders the rond will secure a better meome, and with alarger income its abil- ity to pay its debt is strengthened. In supporting such & measure Senator Van Wyck is not only carrying out the will of his constituents, but he is acting upon sound principles of public econ- omy. Itisnot expected, however, that his enemies will eredit him with an hen- cst motive. Their course iu purposely advertising him as a warm supporter of the funding job shows to what despica- ble means they will resort and what straits they are driven to in their anxiety to besmirch him. There is a broad dif- ference between the Hoar funding bill for the relief of the Union Pacific stock jobbers, and the Van Wyck bills for the relief of the producers who want railroad competition and better shipping facili- ties, been a more Democratic Dissension, The democratic house is badly divided ngainst itself, and the indications are that the division will be lasting and dis- astrous, Itisa familiar fact that there have been more or less serious factional differences and contentions within the rty, but until recently the leaders have n able to keep their following in com- parative order and to control themselves up to the point of declaring war upon each other. At last the leadors have lost their self-control, and with the bitterness which usually eharacterizes the hostility of men who have fraternized in the same camp, have fallen to berating each other as mereilessly us though they had been enemics for a lifetime, rod had never mutually gloried in the common title of democrat. The opening skirmish of the buttle which has thus brougnt the leaders of the democracy in congress into angry con- flict oceurred on last Thursday, when the effort of Mr. Morrison to have his tariff bill taken up was de- featod. There had been no concealment on the part of Mr. Randall and his fellow dewmocratic protectionists of & purpose to accomplish that result, but its achieve- ment was not therefore felt by the Mor- rison forces to be any tho less a rebuke and a botrayal of the pledge of the party to give the country tarift reform. Not willing to abandon with a single trial the promise of the party, My, Morrison an- nounced his intention to renew the effort to have hie bill taken up on Tucsday. The caucus of Monday night convinced legislation, | THE OMAHA DAILY BFF THUR! him of the hopelessness of breaking the Randall column, and when the hour came at which he was expected to renew the attempt to have his measure considered he announeced a surrender. The victory of Mr. Randall was easily won, but he was not permitted to enjoy his trivmph unchallenged. He was sharply assailed by Bragg, of Wisconsin, and Hewitt, of ew York, and replied with no less as- Wo can readily credit assurance of the dispatches the seene was most ex ting, and that the unsparing, and for the most part truthful, recriminations of the democratic leaders were greatly en- joyed by the republicans The attitnde in which Mr. Morrison is vlaced by the outcome ot this contest is certainly humiliating to himself and his followers, and there would seem to be nothing left for that gentleman to do but to forego all pretensions to the leadership of his party in the house, for which he has thus far given very little eyidence of capacity. Indeed, there is great proba- bility that his constituents will conclude that he has outlived his usefulness in con- s. Asto Mr Il, it remaina to be seen whether the victory he has gained wlll give him so great a vantage ground as he has doubtless counted upon, It has been reported for some days that he has a tarifl bill of his own ready for introduc tion, but what new tactic to, if any, cret which he discreetly keeps, knowing that in that way he can the more sureiy fo- cus upon himself the interest and attention of the country. That this am- bitious and self-seeking politician will not rest satisfied with the bare achievement of vanquishing Mr. Morrison is extremely able. No man in the country has stronger faith in the possibility ot his being struck by presidential lightning than has Samucl J. Randall, and none appreciates more fully than he the nec sity there is for a man having such aspi- ration to kecp in the van. To crush the would-be leaders of his party in the house is the task to which he cessfully devoted himself. There w some curiosity to see what he will do next Meanwhile, the republicans can view the large and widening breach in the demo- cratic ranks with the utmost equanimity. The President's Right Bower. The very carnest desire manifested by President Cleveland in his communica- tion to Secretary Monning, in response to the letter of the latter tendering his resignation of the treasury fortfolio, that he should with hold his decision to re- tire and take a period of several month s possibly prompted by a motive rong us the implied solicitude of the president respecting the manage- ment of the fiseal affairs of the govern- ment and the promotion of the financial and economie policies which Mr. Cleve- land, with generous self-abnegation, credited largely to the wisdom of Mr. Manning. It is probable that Mr. Cleveland apprec most fully the fact that the scerctary of the treas- ury is by odds the best and most valug ble friend he has in the administration— indeed the one man whom he could y upon with safety to support his hopes of the future and to give them recognition and strength with the varty, Of the other members of his ad- ministration there is not one whom the president can surely count upon for valuable service in his behalf, even if the fealty of all of them was unquestiona- ble. Mr. Bayard 1s untrustworthy from the fact that having had the presiden- tinl bee buzzing in his bonnet he is almost certain to be again enticed by its alluring music. Whitney and Endicott are complete nonentities politically, who could not be relied upon to control the vote of a ward of the cities in which they live. Vilas is heavily bandicapped, and is withal far from being a shrewd politician, in whose hands it would bo safe to entrust the management of a large game. Lamar knows absolutely nothing about political management, and the aid of Garland would be vastly more harmful than helpful. To Mr. Manning, however, is undoubt- edly due the credit of being the ablest organizer, the most adroit manipulator and the most skillful wire puller this time in the democratic party, He is not only by nature a politician, but he re- ceived his early training in the arts of political management in a school which has developed a number of men of r markable skill in runming the democratic machine, not the least among whom was the tate William M. Tweed. It might not be entively just to say of Mr. Manning that he was a recognized pupil of the fa- mous robber, but he had an excellent op- portunity to acquire a knowledge of the methods of that now historic personage in party manipulation, and it has un- questionably been of great service to him. 1t is not questioned that he was the most useful man in the party to Mr. Cleve- Jand in the presidential campaign. As Mr. John K. McLean recently expressed it, “Manning was the head and front of the Cleveland column,” That Cleveland fully recognized and apprecia‘ed the value of Mr.” Manning's services, was sufliciently shown in his making him o member of the cabinet, and the subsequent reports of s(‘rinmdis- agi ments are amply confuted by the desire shown 1n the president’s letter that Mr. Manning shall remain among his ad- visers, Mr, Cleveland wants him for the future—for let no one foolishly doubt that the president belieyes he has a future—as the one man in his confidence in whom he can trust alike for perfect loyalty and thorough service. Meanwhile there is a very considerable element of the democ- racy, not in sympathy with Mr, Cleve- land’s hopes, which, it is suggested, would not be greatly displeased if Mr, Manning should determine not to return to the onecrous duties of the treasury. Henee it is that there is said to exist a good deal of concern in democratic chan- nels as to whether Mr. Manning will ever be able to resume the portfolio he has temporarily surrended, or be com- pelled to permanently retire from the control of the large patronage which he might so advantageously use to the in- terest of his chief, 1¥ our reform cotemporary has no bet- ter defense to make for the Fort Omaha job than the stupid retort that the BEE is howling to draw attention from the Fort Robinson bill, it is barking up the wroug trep, If there is any job in the proposed erection of permanent build- ings at Fort Robmson, we hope the Heraid will give us the particulars.

TI'he proposed removal of Fort Omaha is solely in the interest of land speculators. 1t will cost the govern- ment several hundred thousand dollars to transform the farm near Gilmore into a commodious post, when by purchasing an additional tract near the present site the outlay would hardly exceed £100,000 or §150,000.

Along the route from Duluth to Puget sound the company was given 12,800 acres for each ||IIS|' of road con struc in states, mm 25,600 for each mile in territories. al ‘amount hich the company el rned is about 44,000,000 ncres, of \vlm'h it has more than' 37,000,000 acres yet unsold. At the price per aere obtained last year, Jand is worth ubout $160,000,000, to pay for the buila’ ing mnl equipment of the road and leave handsome surplus. What the land will be worth before it is all sold none can say. About one third classed by the company as agricultural land, more than one third as grazing land, and less than that proportion as mount NG s T grant was originally nearly twice the area of Ohio, and the company has in its possession now one half land ~ than there i 3 . It is { to think that this magnificent empire was given away twenty-two ars ago for the of securing the building’ of a railrond which was not finished or greatly nceded until within The territory it surely have been ched quite soon enough for the good of the country without the nid of a huge land grant, and the nation would then have been richer by.a magnificent terri- tory, far greater than many a Euro m:\n monarch’s whole ~domain. Aml we wonder already that such a contr: ct could ever have been made, what will future wencrations say? They will find it diflicult to believe that any govern- ment was 80 blind to its own interests or s0 short-sighted as congress proved itself in the railroad grant era, and they will mourn far more bitterly than we ever have that the one-sided bargain with the Northern Pacific company was ratitied.
