It is the petition of a Boston housekeeper, who formerly as the wife of a missionary resided In China, asking congress to make an excoption to the anti-Chinese law in her favor, in order that she may imvort #a Ohineso servant. The unhappy lady sets forth that she is almost ruined in purse and healith by the losses and the misery she has suffored at the hands of servants in this country, and since she must have hired assistance she is hope- 5 less of peace and comfort in the futuve 1f y compelled to depend upon the sort of * domestic help which alone is to be ob- | tained here.

The new generation of Canadiun politicians nhave evidently more faith in themselves than did their fathers, and a wiser view also of the possibilities of the country, or rather of the chanoce of utilizing those possibilities, if the people were left to the exelusive and absolute control alike of their domestio affairs and their relations with other countries. The controversy pow pending with the United States in relution to the fisheries has had a very great eflect In stimulating this sentiment, and it is inevitable that the advancing wor und prosperity of this country will p the feeling alive and active. The gonvention decided to postpone consider: ation of the question of independence to the next annual meeting, and in the gneantime 1t will assuredly be a promi- ment subject of popular thought and dis oussion. The onvontion declared strongiy iu favorof a treaty of reciproeity with the United States. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: UES DAY, A Not Hopefal Partisan, Ex-Senator Eaton, of Connecticut, who by virtue of long service in the demo- cratic party and acknowledged ability as n politician, is entitled to s ot ing his party and to have his opinion re garded, in a reaent interview did not convey an altogether hopeful view of the democratic prospects in tho battle of coming fall for the next honse of repre; sentatives. Being outside of the political wrena, Mr. Eaton's vision is not obscured by the st or nis retlections disturbed by the n of the contentions going on therein, and he is able tc once see and deliverate elearly upon the situation He could not ther fail to discover that the eflorts of the leaders of the party the future specially with reference to the next presidential cloction, each and every one of them trimming his sails with the view to eatehing a popular breeze that may waft him into such favor as shall give him & claim to the attention of the next national convention. It doos not require any remarkable gift of penetration to d the real drift of the plots and counter-plots of Randall, Morrison and others among the democratic lesders, nor is it necessary that one should have to what re inevitably the wisdom of a seer to see sult this sort of thing must lead the party. The consequence of this purcly polits fcal struggle in congress is seen in the factional Dbreaches and controv 08 which have retarded all legislation and deprived the country of reforms which bad been promised and which the peo ple expected. Had the representatives of the democratic party in congress, with their overwhelming majority, been governed by an aonest de to con serve the public welfars ad of al lowing themselves to be manipulated by a few self-sceking leaders, congress might have by this time or sooner harmonious ter- country judicious brought its labors to a mination, given the reformatory and remedial legisla- tion, and the democracy would have been stronger than a year ago in the confidence of the people. But when has a democratic ability to devote itself the public inte congress shown it to the conservation of sts, or demonstrated that it was any better than an emblage of political schemers and wire pullers? The democeratic party is heavily handi- capped by the course of the present con- gress, and it caunot be relieved by any- thing which the majority in the house may do or attempt to do in the few re- maining days of the session. A demo- cratic president has found it necessary to administer to it official reproof, and the more candid and outspoken demo cratic papers of the count s for exam- ple the Louisville Courier-Journal, have condemned it in unequiyocal terms. The paper noted recently declared, in summing up what congress had failed to do, that the democratie success of two years ago was to all intents ‘‘a fruitless Victory.” Tts omlissions atent and indisputable, while the littlo that it has worthily done hardly challenges consid- eration. Yet the party had a splendid opportunity to increuse and strengthen its hold upon the public conhdence. It hus utterly failed again, as it has many times before, to show that it has the great interests of the people at heart,and it deserves to bo repudiated by the peo- ple. Another Sample of Reform. A chorus of gratulation from the ar- dent advocates of ecivil service reform has greeted the appointmentof Governor Thompson, of South Carolina, as assist- ant seeretary of the treasury. We are assured that Mr. Thompson is a sincere believer in civil service retorm, notwith- standing the fact that he is a South Caro- lina politician, and that he can be safely trusted to put his faith into practice. The E. Smith, is said not to be bheartily in sympathy with this reform, and yet Mr. Cleveland has kept him in office, and would doubtless have retained him there to the end if the offer of a railroad attor- neyship had not tempted him to resign. It occasionally happens that some cir- cumstance arises, of which this under consideration is a sample, that suggests a serious doubt as to whether the presi- dent has been as careful us so prouounced a supporter of civil service reform should be in selecting men for positions baving an appointing function, as does that of the sssistant secretary of the treasury, and it is just such disclosurcs that have most to do with convincing a very large class of people that civil ser- vice reform as practioed is a good deal of a farce. Hore is 8 man whom the pres- idont has toleratod in a position invelv- ing the oversight of allayppointents in the departmoys % who 18 said by so excel- leit l\u(har!ty on civil service reform vir- tue as the Now York Evening Post to be unfriendly to the roform—a man who 1t might be fairly surmised has been in col- lusion with Higgins in the offorts of that unsavory Individusl to oast reproach upon the policy, and whenever pract blo to defeat it. How many moro of this sortof men is Mr, Cleveland permitting to remain inoflice? Asto Governor Thomp- son, he appears to have a consistent record as a supporter of the new princi- ple, but it is not safe to count too largely upon him until he has been thoroughly gubjected to the pressure of the horde of spoils seekers which constantly infests Washington, Ihrife at the Wnite House, Some one who has taken the trouble to Invustigate, reports that President Cleve- land is saving $35,000 o year from his an- nual salary. Woll, why shounldu't het More than $100,000 a year are appropri- ated by congress for maintaiuing the white housa. The servants, ushers, door- keepers, messengers and clerks eployed areall paid tor by the people. Twenty five thousand dollars annually are appro- priated for contingent exponses, includ- ing fuel, statiomery, oarpets, repairs, oar- ages, horses and improviunents. Four- tecn thousand dollars is supposed Lo be consumed in lighting the executive wan- sion and twelve thousand for taking care of the green houses. That vminent statesmun, R. B. Huyes, who econonuzed by locking the executive wine cellsr and culling on the boys when Lucy B. bad hor ck turned, was able to lay as:de fully $800,000 as the re sult of his four years term.

The senator is very tender and touchy. Whilst he takes pains to impress upon our eitizens that his sole aim in this matter is for the pub lic Interest he sinuates that our opposi tion springs either from ignorance or personal bi Senator Manderson i Our opwosition- to the is not actuated by personal or political motives. We have not a dollar’s worth of property within three miles of the fort, and have no pecuniary interest in any lands within the limit of the ve-location which is contemplated by the bill. We may be ignorant with regard to the meth- ods by which the new location fixed, but we were not as ignorant about the design to make the change protitable to a land syndicate which originally ex imply mistaken. ‘ort Omaha bil) is to be | pected to wuke a swap of a tract of land for the present site of the fort We had ealled this Fort Omaha bill a job because we knew as long ago as last win- ter that a land syndicate desired to ex change a large tract southwest of Omaha, comprising about six hundred acres, worth say $30 an acre, for the eighty acres worth $1,500 per acre now occupied by the fort. This syndicate mcludes Senator Manderson himself, and fact was commented on very oly some months ago by the shington correspondent of the ansas City Tvmes. The senator admits over his own signature that the original scheme contemplated the ex- change of sites as projeeted by the syndi- cate, but he asserts that that i has been abandoned and a free-for-all petition is proposed in the bill. a competition could be of jobbery would be g peculiar methods usually pursued where political miluences and personal pressure can be brought to bear are, however, just as likely to be resorted to in this case they have been time and again in lo- cations of government buildings, ete. But the mamn question after all is whether the public interest and the local interests of Omaba will be advanced by the proposed bill. Senator Manderson serts that General Shendan is de- termined to have the fort re-located, or abandoned. His reasons are said to be first, because the fort 1s remote from rail- com 1f such 1 the suspicion oundless. The road communication, and second, be- cause there is not ground enough at the present fort for target practico_ and quar- ters for a larger garrison. Now we take it that General She will revise his views on this matter if it an be shown that the facilities which are lacking can be sccured at much less expense than would be incurred by the re-location. Fort Omaha has secured ample railroad facilities within the past month by the Belt line railroad. The fact that the Fourth infantry was con- veyed from Fort Omaha on its journey to the Pacific coast last week in coaches over the Belt line railroad shows that troops can be moved to and from the fort by rail more easily than they can from Fort Leavenworth, which no gen- eral has ever proposed to abandon. Whilst it is true that the present site does not afford facilities for target practice and extensive quarters, it is a notorious fact that the government can purchase all the Iand it needs adjacent to the fort for a sum not to exceed $200,000. The Fort Omaha bill appropriates $150,000 for the new quarters. We venture toassert that two-thirds of this sum will have to be ex pended in putting the grounds in condi- tion,not counting the cost of water works and other necessary conveniences which have been provided at the present fort at a heuvy cost. It is safe to say that half o million dollars will be taken outof the national treasury to replace what will be torn down and bccow worthlass § gl’xe present fort is abandon: Trom an economic standpoint this is not desirable, From a purely military standpoint there Is no need idan of & change. General Carlin, who communded the fort for several yoars, is most decidedly of the opinion that no change of location is required for the con- venience of the army. General Crook, we believe, holds the same opinion. Gen® eral Howard, who commanded the de- partment for nearly four years, did not indorse the scheme. But Senator Man- derson says that Secratary Endjcott has agreed with General Sheridan in recommeding the change. How did 2(30!' stary Endicott reach that conelusion? 'he Secretary was in Omahu last year, and if memory serves us right was taken out to the fort by members of the syndi- cate who doubtless impressed him with the necoessity, Right here let us remind Senator Man- derson that Omaba was not consulted about this project. It was sprung on the putlic very suddenly. No discussion was had, and no effort was 0 remove General Sher objections to the present by & guarantee of railvoad facilities and an option of additional land at a limited figure. In view of all this our course as well as that of the board of trade in this connection should not have surprised the senator, We still insist that the public interest will not be subserved by rushing the Fort Omaha bill through the lower se of congress ho Tae difliculty in se; plec lmg a jury to try the Chicago anarchists, with all the at- tending circumstances, 18 likely o streugthen the opinion of those who re- gard the jury system with disfavor and add to their number, Thus far 850 men have been called and but seven chosen.

This year the legislature did nof adjourn until about four wecks later than had been the rule, and the members voted themselves additional compensation to the amount of $100 cach. Thus thoysands of dollars will be paid out of the public treasury for legislative work that unquestionably might have been accomplished a month earlier ihan it was, but perhaps the peo- ple ought to be grateful'to their repre- sentatives that they are not muleted in a much larger sum, Procedents for salary grabbing are becoming too numerous.

A Farmer Soundly's Politics. 'See b my friend, what do you know of Van Wyck?" said a gray-haired old farmer to a young man of the snme voei- tion, who appeared to be very frec in his cxpression of disparagement of our senior senator, “How long bave you known Van Wyck? You appear to be quite n young man and if [ mistake not, have been a voter a very few year: What has Van Wyck done that justifies your tirade against him? What did you say? Voter aganst the party? Works with the democrats? Pretends to be o republican but won't sustain the party measure? Just as apt to piteh into a re publican as auybody, heyt Well, now, you think these are pretty grave charges, don't your Of course you do, or you wouldn't pitch into Van Wyck so roughly, but if your facts would justify, you could bring a much graver charge against Van Wyck, You don’t know what it would be, hey Well now that's strange. If you have the facts to back it up, charge hiu with tighting against the interest of his country; charge him with class legisla- tion, with trying to build up monopolies and rich corporations, at the expense of the poorer men; charge him with help- ing to give away millions of acres of our public domain to poverful corporations; charge him with shiclding the vich cattie syndicate, who destroy annually, hun- dreds of poor homestenders on the gr wastern frontier; charge him with th efusal of his co-overation in the efforts mgress to recover the millions of rich land, illegally held by railroad Gorporation; charge Dim with placing 8 higher estimate upon his party eililiation than his duty and elity to his country. These wre charges that menn something. Can't bring iy | such charge, beyt Well then 1'd drop the other, if I was n your place; They're not worthy your manhood. They're too dimsy. What's thut?
