'rmyn- and VanWyok Agaln. When the Omaha Republican, some days ago, declared |h:|| it had in its pos- session a letter written by General Thayer in which he expreseed himeelf decided], onposed “to the senatorial demagogue, meaning Van Wyck, we promptly do manded that the letter be made public This demand was also conpled on our part with a somewhat vigorous comment on the impudence of the factional anti Van Wyck organ in its imperious de mand that General Thaye candidate for governor should give his pledge that he would use all honorable means to defeat Van Wyck through the use of the execu tive inflence. On the assumption that General Thayer might possibly have made the blund, i letter reflecting on Scnator Van Wyck we expressed a most decided opinion that the candidate for governor who would make the pledge of opposing Van Wyek after the election would stand a nce of being vom inated much Jess eiccted, Instc v is charged with writi ) Republican. follows up the cov y another backl stab by which it attempts to place editor of this paper in a light before General ‘Thayer's friends as well s his L An editorial in its Satarday contains the following Mr. Rosewater need not feign innocence regarding General Thayer's letter, The Re- publican happens to know that that letter was originally written by the general for the BEE, that it was given to Mr. Rosewater by him, and that after holding it for some time Mr. Rosewater finally refused to publish it. It was then given to the Republican. In referring to it the Bue says that the governor-elect ought not to meddle with the senatorial election, "This proposition is of course based upon the supposition that the governor-elect will be anti Wyek, If he should happen to be pro-Van Wyek, the i would insist upon his meddiing with the atorial election “good and strong.” R R Vi T T The Republican still thinks that it would bean excellent step for General Thayer to announce himsel y against the re- election of Van Wyck. 1t would strengrien the party and the general, and would be the frank and manly thing to do. We know what were the general’sopinionson this ques- ion last fall, and we think we know that they have not chauged. Why not “tell the truth?” We again repeat our demand to have that contraband letter made publie. Gen- eral Thayor has not only authorized but demanded 1ts publication. He has made this demand through both’ Grand Island dailics which represent the opposing fac- tions of the republican party. On our part we pronounce the charge that Rose- water knows about this letter and refused to publish in the Beg as an impudent lie. General Thayer was a contributor 1o the Be i His letters were all written over his own signature and were chiefly devoted to the early history of the northwest. Four or five of his letters dealt with the political nistory of carly days. Two orthree of the senator’s contributions were not published for the sole reason that we were pushed for room and they were not a ble. These letters were returned to him. We re- member none that could be construed into an assaalt unon Van Wyck's loyalty to the country, to the party or to his con- stituents, The evident object of this underhanded attack on General Thayer rmies, is to entangle him in a controversy that would be fatal to him as a candidate for governer and at the same time create a breach between him and this paper. What other motive could there be in ng him to commit himself publicly against Van Wyck? Why should Thayer. of all other candidates for governor, be singled out for such a pledge? Neither Van Wyck nor any one on his behaif has asked for a pledge that would bind any candidate for governor to use his execu- tive influence in Van Wyck’s behalf. If it is the frank and manly thing for yer to commit himselt against Van Wyck, it must be equally so for others to commit themselves for Van Wy This will bring the senatorial issue into the state convention. But Mr. Yost and the re- publican committee have not been fool- hardy enough to force the nomination of a senator upon the convention. If mak- ing this issue will strengthen the ty why did not the state committee, which is made up of the old railrond gang ths love the party so mueh, submit this ques- tion squarely to the republican rank and file? While this paper is not General Thayer or uny other candidate ll, is willing to sccept General Thay deniul in preference to the assertions of the pharaisaical crew who volunteer their friendly advice to the old veteran while they are stabbing him under the fifth rib. “booming” Anticipating the Senate, The full text of the new extradition treaty between the United States and England was given to the public through the press almost as soon as the dooument reached the senate, and it is not improb- able that some members of that august body received their first knowledge of the details of the new counvention through the newspapers. Consequently certain senators who are wedded to the secrecy policy got very hot over this out- rage by the press, and talked of an in- vestigation to find out how the news- papers gov hold of the precious docu- ment, 1f this were the first time any- thing of the kind had occurred there wight be reason in the reported maigna- tion of senators, but it is not. The texts of other treaties have been printed in the pwspapers in advance of action on them by the senate, while it is a fact of weekly experience that mutters of an- other kind, the knowledge of which is supposcd to be sacred to the senatorvial miund, are somehow wafted through the locked doors of the senate ochnmber and gathered up by the omnipresent corre- spoudent to be Jaid with amplitude of de- tail before the great waiting public the following morning. There are scerot proceedings of the scuate which are not at onee givea to the world simply because they ure not of sufficient importance fo warrant any exceptional expenditure of offort on the part of the newspaper nmen, but nothing of commanding consequence @80 hem, A recent easein point was the debate in exeeutive ‘session on the nonunation of Solicitar General Goode, which was report York papers the next morning with suf- ficient fullness to fix the status of all the senators who spoke on the matter. There bave been several attempts at investi- inglon puper observes, they “‘huve inva- riably stopped just as the scent got d of publishing the letter which | d in some of the Now | THE OMAHA DAILY BER MONDAY, JULY 26, 1886, warm,” and it was evident that some leaky senator or servant of the senate | would be run down in the pursuit | Occurrences of this kind, which no | amount of senatorial bluster can pre- | vent, serve to illustrate the utter fallacy of the sccret session policy, which has nothing more plausible to support it than custom. So far as the public is con cerned, it admires and approves of the enterprise of the press in refusing to be bridled by this undemocratic and unjusti fiable system. No intelligent man, not a senator, believes that the servants of the | people will be hampered i their action, or the public interest imperiled, by allow ing the people to know the character and terms of a treaty to be acted upon, or in | the case of a public ofticer to be con firmed the opinions of those servants pecting his character and qualific r ions. But on the contrary, the great majority of the people who have | an opmion on this subject be- Ilieve it is the people's right to be i med in these matters, so that if there is necessity for expression of public opinion there will be opportunity for such expression. Itisan intolerable assumption on the part of the seventy-six gentlemen who oceupy the senate cham- ber by the will of the people—save those who are there by the favor of corpor: tions—that they may lock their doors in the faces of their sixty millions of con- stituents and do and undo as they will, and that in certain matters of great pub- lic coneern there can be no assured safety without leaving them solely and scere to the determination of their The senate will have to very improve its standard before y any large number of the American people assent to this most indefensible ssumption, Ounr Cable Letters, An unusually interesting amount of foreign, political, social and news in- telligence 15 presented to the readers of the BEE to-day in its special cable scr- vice.

It me only that we are to have a na of the name by r Tairs. orsed ns not worthy son of the number of but a n establishment con- ed on the best mod Ten mul- lions are appropriated by the bill, of which three millions are to be at once available. The Umted States navy at present contains barely five vessels fit to rank with ships of their clsss abroad. Thre of these are the new cruisers the Atlanta, Chicago and Boston, and the despatch boat, the Dolphin. The cruiscrs have their place in every naval establishment, as commerce destroyers but they are not intended for att: defense against ironclads. Up to we have not a single armored vessel of the first cluss on our naval register. Four monitors, which have beer. lying untin- ishied for years, und for whose completion the bill jist passed makes provision, will be the first armored war ships built on approved models which will be launched. The new navy, as decided upon by the advisory board, the secretary of the navy and congress, will consist of four classes of vessels. The first class will u)mprm the heavily armored war ships “armored vessels.” These ships which form the backbone of the navies of the world will be built for attack .mdnh' fense. Their hulls of steel will plate armor of from twelve to si inches urrets on their decks will be fitted with guns capable of fiving steel shot and shell to a distance of eleven miles. Such vessels as the Italia, the Lepanto and the Colossus, the rors of the Italian and English nav will form the models. The second class of ships proposed and of which seven are now in course of construction or projected are the “unar- mored ors.” - Seventy of this class of vesselsare recommended. They will be built of steel with large coal carrying ca- pacity, light guns and broad spread of canvass in order to enable them to make long and rapid cruises in the tracks of commerce, The erusers will be th merce destroyers of the waters, abl overtake and scuttle any merchant ship afloat or to cope with other vessels of their class, and fast enough to escape from the armored monsters with when they may chance to fall m, The torpedo fleet for harbor defense is the third class of boats projected in the rebuitding of the navy, and the despatch boat, to carry orders from one port or vessel to another, the fourth. The naval appropriation bill as passed authorizes the construction of two sea going armored vessels of the first cluss, a double bottomed and a pneumatic gun cruser of the second class and a torpedo boat. In addition it provides for completion of the four unfinished mon itors. With the seven cruisers build and authorized, these new vessels will form the solid basis of our ow navy. Congress has fortunately recognized the folly of spending millions in repaiving wooden tubs. Iron and stecl keels are to take their place with the result of lessening the annual charge for repairs and of placing the American nuvy on a footing demanded by our im- portance as a nation among the nations und as a country with the greatest amonnt of unprotected sea coast on the glove.

If brick can be secured cheaper elsewhere, and buildings put up by importing material because Omaha brick-makers have cornered the market, that course should be promptly adopted The cost of building in Omaha is out- rageounsly high, and the high cost oper- ates to prevent workmgmen from secur- ing employment. In addition it raises ronts and increases the cost of living. The brickmakers' pool, which employs most of the bricklayers, should be taught by experience that competition can break down combination in their line at least, no matter how much it fails in other anches, There are millions of brick in and plenty of bricklayers in Omaha and elsewhere who will gladly work for any firm who will pay tiem the market e for theirlabor. Tirec or four brick yards owned by wealthy capitalists now dietate the price of brick laid in the wall. They virtually control the brick-laying market as well. It is time the monopoly was broken, Trkne is a gre t deal of uscless agony wasted over the struggle for the governor- ship. The BEk has taken no hand so fa in the confhiet. All the talk about “knifing” and “stabbing”’ any i candidate for the benefit of another ridiculous as applicd to this paper. Sen tor Van V' *s friends have pledges. Somwe hints, it 1strue, have been dropped that the senator’s supporte not rush with enthusiasm to the ance of candidates who propose to use their offices against the senator’s inter- ests. But there is nothing particularly unnatural in this. It should have been expected. “Hands off” in return for “hands off” is a good motto.
