Lager beer has more attraction to the thirsty than muddy Missouri river ‘water., It has remmned for Kansas City to produce a cowboy evangelist, a descend- ant of John Wesley. We hope he will succeed better than nsas City’s cow- boy base ball nine. “CiNciNNATL still has a republican postmaster,” says an impatient demo- cratic paper. Omaha, by the way, is in the same boat, and what is more the sal- ary of our postmaster has just been in- creased from $3,300 to $3,400. This will make the democratic candidates only the more anxious to get it. —— TaE Chicago T'ribune says that a story is current in Washington that the ad- ministration is ‘*‘holding off” on certain fatand desirable oflices and will distribute the same this fall just before election in closely contested states, such as Ohio, Indiana, California, ete. Although N braska is not a closely contested sf perhaps the distribution of fat offices will take place a short time before election. Tuae famous Lowry-Smith case comes up for a rehearing on an appeal in the United States court within a few days. There has been so much crookedness charged on both sides that the public nat- urally desires to have the true inward- ness of the transaction brought to light. A new trial will doubtless probe the whole matter to the bottom, Mr. Lowry has everything at stake in vindicating ‘himself from the charge of criminal col- lusion which Smith's creditors have ‘brought against hiin, As USUAL, near the close of the session of congress, the president is oyercrowded with bills requiring his consideration either for approval or disapproval, and Mr. Cleveland is just now having his hands full, It is probable that not a few of these measures will become law with- out having received that close and care- ful scrutiny which the exccutive should give them, but an indulgent people will pardon all such omissions in view of the added domestic obligations which Mr, Cleveland has just assumed, and which every married man knows are quite as onerous to a beginner as any public du- tiescan be. On the whole, we are not quite sure whether it is not commisera- tion rather than congratulation that the president at present deserves. — Tar New York Sun prints an interest- fng statement showing the number of bills and resolutions which had been in- troduced to the 20th of the present month by each member of the United States sen- ate, trom which it appears that most of these gentlemen have been notably, if not in all cases commendably, industrious in this particular. The total of bills in- troduced was nearly three thousand, of which the Nebraska senators presented 209, Mr. Van Wyck being fourth in tho list of those who introduced the largest mumber, The champion bill-maker of the senate is Sawyer of Wisconsin, who has o record this session of no fewer than 48, and is closely followed by Blair, of Wew Hampshire, who introduces most of the erank bills, with a total of 447. Tho lorn Jones of Florida is at the other extreme, having introduced no bills at all. — Way doesn’t the board of public works carry out the instructions of the council with to sidewalks?

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE Playing Traitor Ag About ten days ago the senate, after a sharp debate, passed a bill prohibiting congressmen and senators from acting as attorneys of land-grant railroads. Among the senatots who voted for this bill was General Hawley, who of late has shown himself to be a most useful cor- poration lackey. Hawley had recorded his vote in favor of the blll in order to be in a position to move a reconsideration Hawley's motion to reconsider the vote by which the senate had struck a blow at avery profitable industry came up for debate Wednesday, and after a very spirited discussion was carried by ten j bill, ‘on motion of then orde sonholed by a reference to the committee, which is mainly composed of land grant railroad attorneys and corporation lawyers. Senator Van Wyck was the only republi- can who voted against Hawley's motion, while five democrats, with Standard Oil Payne at their head, recorded their votes with Hawley, Dolph, Hipple Mitchell, Leland Stanford and the other monopoly senators. This is another sample of Van Wyck’s periodie bolts from his party associates. class of republicans ring the brass collar is rank treason which cannot be too severely condemned, Only a fow weeks ago Hawle attempt to rebuke Van Wyck for daring to assert his own views with regard to Jay Gould and the rights of labor to fair treatment was spread broadeast in this state to show that Van Wyck cannot be depended up- on by his party associates. Now he has again rebelled and jumped the track on an issue in which all other republicans had ranged themselves by the side of Hawley. To be sure, this was not a party question in the last campaign, but it af- fects some republicans very seriously, and Van W has played the traitor with his eyes wide open. What would become of Mr. Edmunds, for instance, if he had to forego the lucrative retainer of the Central Pacific railrond which has employed him for years to fight its bat- tles before the supreme courtt What would become of Mr. Dolph if the North- ern Pacific should be compelied to drop him? Whaat would become of a dozen other eminent statesmen in the Ameri- can house of lords if they were deprived of the largencome which they enjoy as corporation lawyers. Isn't it about time to read Van Wyck out of the party again? What right has aman who votes with democrats to cut congressmen and senators out of their verquisites to call himself a republican? In principle Van Wyck may be a true re- publican, but when he deserts hi associates in a great emergency li back salary grab or land grant petti- fogging, he certainly kicks over the traces very hard. The Chicago Inter Ocean, which has a Washington bureau presided over by the fellow whom Van Wyek once recalled from his South American junket- ing tour, will now administer a fitting re- buke to the Nebraska crank. The stal- wart railroad organs in Omaha ands Lin- coln will fall into line at once and brand Van Wyck as a double-dyed traitor. The President Ignored. 1t is an interesting fact that stands out conspicuously from the recent contro- versies and contests of the democratic leaders in congress, that there has been an apparently studied disregard of the views and wishes of the president as an effective or determining influence upon the questions at issue between the fac- tions. It would seem that the leaders on either side had been actuated by a simi- lar determination to leave the man who ought to he regarded as the head of the party, and whose opinions and desires with reference to the policy of the party ought to have at least pectful atten- tion, wholly out of consideration, as if he were a mere figurehead alike in the party and the government to whom the major- ity in the popular branch of congress is not called upon to give more than a merely formal or oflicial recognition. There is no democrat in or out of con gress whose convictions upon all leading questions are more pronounced or better known than those of President Cieveland, and yet it 18 an extremely rare thing to find them quoted by one of his party in the house with a view to influencing the action of the majority of that body in the direction they take, and we do not recall any recent instance in which they have been heartily defended when It cannot be doubted that the president feels this neglect. It has been reported that he has more than once expressed & keen sense of injury at the indifference shown respecting bis declared yiews and well-known wishes, and has indicated that 1t would be most agrecable to him to consult with the leading members of his party regarding principles and policies. Neither the complaints nor the invitations of the president have, however, had any effect in drawing the congressional leaders of his party into closer relations with him, and he is as completely deprived of all the prerogatives which are usually ac- corded to the executive as the head of the party as if he had not been elevated to that posltion by democratic votes. He has seen his policy of silyer demone tion resentfully trampled under foot, his devotion to civil service reform ridiculed and denounced, and his policy of tanff revision repudiated, while bitter factional strife divades his party and threatens fu- ture disaster. He finds himself an almost inappreciable factor of what now appears tobe a hopeless minority, with some friends generally too cowardly to declare their fealty and a host of foes who have the courage to proclaim their hostility. It1s an anomalous position for a presi- dent whose party is in control of the pop- ular branch of congress by an overwhelm- ing majority, It is by no means assured, however, that the men who have deliberately ig- nored the president or made war upon him will find that they have thereby com- mended themselves to the rank and file of the party. It hasbeen stated that Mr., Holman experionced a very decided change of heart after a visit among his constituents, and there 1s a report that some of those democratic congressmen who were with Randall in defeating the offort to have the tariff reyision bill taken up, have heard from their constituants in terms that ave ot reassuring. So far as Ruvdal is concorned, the foeling awong dewiocrats is very likely to grow that bis course is not oply » betrayal of the pledges of the party, but so far as tho president is coucerned, essentially un- grateful. It may bappen that Mr. Cleve- land will in the end be & gainer with the masses of his party by haying heen made a target for the “slings and arrows” of aspiring factional leaders. Downright Impertinence, Whenever there is a job to be foisted on this city or state there is always con cert of action between the Siamese twins on Harney and Douglas streets. It was with the Holly waterworks job, the sandstone job, and nearly ail the big and little swindling schemes gotten up by contractors and syndicates. It is so again with the Fort Omaha job. Of the two champions of this scheme the Herald has been the more discreet, It simply gave three cheers and a tiger when Sena- tor Manderson's confidential dispatch to Dr. Miller announcing the passage of the bill in the senate was published, and in a mild way it has since tried to distrac tention from the job by erying ‘‘Fort Robinson job.” The Republican launches out more boldly. The board of trade is severcly taken to task for its interference. The mouthpicce of the land syndicate insolently asks “Why Rosewater everlastingly insists on having his finger in every dish,” and then as. serts that a “few members of the board of trade at his dictation” adopted resolu- tions requesting the house committes on military affairs to delay action on the pending bill. This smacks very much ot the campaign. It is hardly appropriate to this oceasion. As a citizen and tax- payer of Omaha, Rosewater has interests in common with other citizens and tax- payers. When any project isset on foot calenlated to damage his own interests and thoso ot the community at large, he has a right to oppose such schemes by any legitimate means within his power, As a member of the Board of Trade Rosewater had as much right to urge the passage of resolutions against the pro- posed re-location of the fort, as any member of that body had against any bill which is liabie to cripple Omaha. As the editor of aleading daily it is his manifest duty to expose and denounce jeet gotten up by speculators to advance their private inter- nrich themselves at the public xpense, to the detriment of the city. It is & picce of impertinence for an out- sider to lecture the board of trade about its course in this matter. The board is composed of leading merchants, manu- facturers and business men. Anything that afl the material welfare or the sts of Omahais a legiti- et for diseussion and action by that body. The removal of Fort Omaha from its present site to a point ten miles southwest will deprive the city of many advantages it now enjoys. The pretense under which the change is sought to be made is fictitious. It is not demanded by the necessities of the army, but, on the contrary, is calculated to discommode the army and curtail its comfort and conveniency The board of trade did not take action in this matter on snap judgment. mecting was i business men t aken plac city since the board was organiz The resolutions asking for delay were adopted by the board atter full discussion with but two or three dissenting votes. If this does not represent the sentiment of Omaha on the question we would like to know the reason why, But weare told that the board “had no business to meddle with a merely mili- tary question. Senator Manderson, a government officer, whose duty it is to consider government interests, brought this matter to the attention of the war department, and undoubtedly secured its approval, for neither the secretary of war nor the commander of this department has made any objection, as it would have been their duty to do if they felt that the change was not desirable from a military point of view."" If the board of trade had no business to meddle with this ‘‘merely milltary" question, why have they time and again been asked to meddle with merely mili- tary questions involving the quartermas- ter’s depot, department headquarters, and transfer of commanders and troops? Suppose there was a move to-day to abol- ish the Fort sltogether, would not the poard have a right to meddle and request its continuance? Senator Manderson is not a govern- ment oflicer in the sense which the term implies. Government oflicers are ap- pointed in the civil or military service. They are not responsible for their con- duct to the people, Senator Manderson, on the contrary, is arepresentative of the people, and his actions in every respect should be in accord with the wishes and interests of the people, and not simply efforts to subserve the interests of a syn- dicate of land speculators. General Sheridan and the secretary of war have been induced to approve this scheme to please Senator Mander- son, Dr. Miller and half a dozen other eminent citizens whose private interests are to be promoted at the public expense. If Senator Manderson had consulted the wisdom of the citizens of Omaha in this matter he would not have pushed the bill through the senate. If he or any friend of this measure doubts that the resolutions of the board of trade express the overwhelming sentiment of our com- munity, let him call a public meeting at the exposition building and submit the issue to a popular vote. S0 in this t there is a very earnest though guiet effort making to bring about logislation at the present session of con- gress providing for an earher meoting of the next session, but while it is almost assured that the senate would act fayora- bly upon such a measure its probable fate in the house is uncertain, There are sub- stantial reasons in support of such a proposition, but with many the force of long practice is so great that a change could very likely not be easily eflected. It was questionable wisdom on the part of the ‘‘fathers’’ in convening congress only three weeks before the winter holi- dazys, with the result that the two hous can do little more than eflect an org: zation before the arrival of the holiday recess, which cuts never less than two weeks out of the session, Moskes A.

A paragraph giving money for the expenses of the commis- 'nts enraged him as a red rag excites a bull, and in a torrent of wild eloquence he undertook to convineo the house that Mr. Sparks was “‘running a vendetta nst the best interests of all the territory beyond the Missouri river. Mr. Laird assured the house that he spoke us the representative of ‘‘brave and honest men,” who had been ‘“‘slan derously denounced as land thicve: The special agents were “a lot of poli cal papsuckers, who go around under- mining the titles of honest settiers.” They were “a floating gang of spics, who condescend to absorb onr means, drink whisky at our expense, and ride down and damn our people.” I'lu?' were ‘‘a pcryumul menace to the devel- opment of the country.” The commis- sioner wi yublie en . “Backed and flanked by i this defender of the honest pioneer, ‘*he proposes to show the country what fur- ther he n do in the way of unsettling the land titles of half thisjcontinent, and driving the peaceful i the 80il supposed to be the common heritage of the people forth from their homes, to the end that he may pose as a reformer, and drink the paid fattery of his gang of spotters, spies and poisoners of the ten- ures of the scttlers of the west.” IHe would go as far as the commissioner to defend the public domain against thieves, but the inhabitants of Nebraska were above suspicion. There is in Chase county, Neb., a stream known as the Stinking Water.” It was in the summer of 1883 that the firm of Kelley & Laird, stock raisers, deter- mined to get possession of linds on the banks of this stream. For the conve- nience of settlers a land oflice was opened at McCook on June 15, 1883. On that day many entries were made. These entries afterward became the subject of investi- gation. Inspector A. R. Greene, an ofi- cer whose reports concerning land frauds in New Mexico and elsewhere b tracted much att missioner McF: Water yalley. ber 3, 1884, published Inspector Greene's report, having procured acopy of it from the general land office i Vashington. It appeared that when the McCook oflice was opened two or three settlers were on hand with their applications, and that they were forced to give was to “the Laird party,” which was made up of several men who had been brought down from Hastings. The com- plainants swore that these so-called en- trymen were “mustered into the offize room in a squad, as soldiers were sworn in during the war,” “Their *mpn-rs were delivered to the register in a bunch by an agent, and the fees were paid in one sum by Kelley, of the firm mentioned above. ‘The inspector said in his report thut the two men who had selected tracts for homestead entry were told on the day be- fore the opening of the office that the lands had been taken by Kelley & Laird “for a stock ranch,” and that a company of men from the house of Kelley & Laird arrived in the evening and o posses- sion. The i igation was made on July 5, 1883, e’s report contained the following statements: “No pretense of bona fide entry was made by the gang imported from Hastings, but the Whota roceeding was treated as & huige joke, One inquired of his companion” wheré his land was: onother said, ‘D—n the land, [ don't ever expect to see it,’ and they went away as they came, and searcely a - citizen here had heard of them before, and 1 thinlk not one has seen them since. Laird left the night the men arrived, but Kelley staid until t ce ended. 1 demanded of “the register to know who these parties were, and directed Nim to designate their names on the books, He at first said_he could only give me thé name of one, Laird, a brother of the con- gressman, bt when his wemory . becamo Tore tractable he desicuated the “following names and tracts ot Jand as boing ‘part of the Laird crowd,” and then his meniory becaine flizhty again, and no effort could” bring it down to busin . 1 have no doubt that the reg colver were aware of the fraud of these entries, but whether them through a 'desire to ac influential political friend or b were i) S0Ie Ianne benelic not know, but I am satisiied through \gnorance of their duties 1o the e The mnker ing aflidavi d of one of the aceompany- swore that ‘“‘the lands thus vidently in_ the interest of rd, comprise all the watered for wwelve or thirteen fmiles, thus vendering valueless all the adjacent lands for miles on either side.” George Hurlbert, one of the applicants who was pushed uside (o make room for the party from Hastings, iad been Lold that the sar- veyor hu sen employed by “one Juwes Laird, member of congre 1o run the lines, and that the sur- veyor admitted that he had for- nished a deseription of the to James Laird But the tor's report does not show that ssmn Laird himself took part in the proceedings. The Laird who did take purt appears 1o bave been the con- gressman's brother Probably the congressman's brother e . has very poor opinion of land office in- spectors and special agonts, Possibly ho regarded them as “a lot of papsuckers and " floating gang of secrot sples who do not_yield to the seductive i fluenco of Nebraska whisky, And may be that the congressman's hostili towards these agents is due to | brother's judice.
