Average... this Tiue last report of the agriculture reduces the probable average of the grain yield of Nebraska by one voint, or from 83 to 82, but it still com- pares favorably with that for most of the other grain-growing states. SECRETARY BAYARD is having a quite animated T 3 boom, which will meas- urably offset the adverse opinion of him very generally entertained in New Eng- land. It doesn't amount to enough, how- ever, to warrant a revival of presidential nopes. Tuere ave dozens of candidates who wish to be elected to the logislature with- out committing themselves on the issues of the day. The candidate who hesitates to commit himself upon the aims of his candidacy runs a prime sihow of being snowod undar in favor of some braver and better man. Tuk estate left by Mr. en is not so valuable as had been generally supposed. It is estimated at from four to six million dollars. The disposal of a considerable part of the estate for the benefit of the public, provided for by the will, gives the memory of Mr. Tilden additional elaim to popular regard. Squinks and Flynn, the New York city offloinls against whom serious charges of crookedness have been publicly made, have finally been arraigned by legal pro- cess. Indictments have been found against both of them, and they were on Tuesday placed in arrest. The circum- stantial evidence against them is very strong, and their conviction is probable. Their trial will doubtless lead to otner interesting dovelopments involving other men prominent in New York ofticial and Tur lato session of congress did some in restoring to the public do- number of forfeited land grants. Over 80,000,000 acres have been restored to the national ownership. Three for- feiture bills passed by the house—the Gulf and Ship island bill, to recover 652,800 ncros; the Northern Pacific, to recover 36,007,741 acres, and the New Orleans ific, to recover 870,400 acres —did not receive the assent of the senate. The Northern Pacific lobby appeared to be too strong for senatorial virtue to cope with. _ Tup surviving members of the Vander- bilt family appear to bhaye moreof a pleasure-sceking disposition than did their progenitors, and the grandchildren of tho founder of the family's fortune have more enjoyment in a week than the eommodore did in a vear, though of eourso ho found continual gratification in undomg rivals, conquering cireuin- stances and seeing his fortune and his fnancial powor steadily grow. It is noted that Mr, William K. Vanderbilt is having built a plersure yacht which in luxurions appointments, asin other re- spects, will surpass all the steam yachts now alloat. She will be constructed of steel, and will have every modern appli- ance and convenience which can be used in a craft of this kind. The more ways the Vanderbilts can find to keep down their accumulation of wealth the better wior the peoplo and the countr; — Tue defiant conrse of the president in veappointing the Albany colored man, Matthews, to the office of recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, in spite of the fact that he was rejected by a vote of the senate which ineluded members of both parties, can only bo sccounted for 88 anocher oxhibition of the stubborn solf-will of Mr. Cleveland. Matthews was not acceptable to the party friends of the president in the senate, he is ob- jectionable to a large majority of hisown wace in the Distriet, and there were sub- stantial reasons in the character of the » mian justifying his rejection. No expla- mation 1s given of the action of the president exeept the statement that Manning is a friend of Matthews, and if his appomtment is due tosthis clroum- #tance it is of course a clear case of re- - warding politioal servioes, and services not always of the most reputable char- Aobor either, if the statements regarding ews are trustworthy. The matter #8 noteworthy merely as illustrating a phase of Mr. Cloyeland's ouaracter. Dr. Miller and Van Wyek. Dr. George L. Miller has found time tween his trips to Jay Goukl's office the W' k gambling exchang to contribute n column to the Omaha Herald or o senatorial issue. T himsc and tion to the re Wy under etor r Van inte and »old stand in of a loctor, « his buyin States senat on from the senat lin { ate and nation Why did Dr. Miller urgoe demo: 1876 to support the nar who had notoriously secured his soat by bribery and had become the most pliant servant of the confederated monopolies on the floor of the senate? And why now oppose the republican senator who was elected by honorable means and on whose skirts the taint of corruption and venality has never fastenod itself? he answer to both questions is very Jay Gonld was interested mn the tion of the one and is intel d in the defeat of the other. In 76 Sam Til- den’s presidential title was made the excuse for asking demo cratic mombers of the legislature to vote for a corrupt republican. In tho present case an appeal is mado to the demoeracy undor equally false protenses The same venal instinet which made Dr. Miller swallow his hatred and contempt for a dishonest Senator in 1876 inspirs him now to prostitute himself to defeat 1 honest senator in 1880 "There 13 one gratification for the re- publican friends of Van Wyck in Dr. Miller’s assault. 1t puts eficctually at rest the preposterous charge of Van ‘Wyck’s encmies that democrats are solid for him, and that their support has been bought by the senator's ireason to his own party and a sell out to the mon- opolies. If Miller represents the demo- cratic party, his hostility to Van Wyck gives the lie direct to charges of eollusion between the senator and his political ad- versaries. If Senator Van Wyck was a mere demagogue playing a part while in fact he had made his peace with the rail- road bosses, then Dr. Miller and his papor would have chanted his praises from duwn till long after miduight, year in and year out. But there is something eurious about Miller and Van Wyck, which illustrates the peculiar types which they represent. Both are natives of New York. Van Wyck's father was an_eminent physician of Knickerbocker stock. General Van Wyck remained in the county,.where he was raised, until of mature age, was honored by the people who best knew him with four terms in congress, and during one of those torms found time enough to raise a regiment and lead them into buttle in defense of his country and its flag. Dr, Miller sprang from respectable but obscure stock, and studied medicine, but not being appreciated at home ventured into the wild west to make a reputation and a stake. While Van Wyck always re- mained near the people and never pan- dered to the nabobs and money kings, Dr. Miller from the outset of his career had insane vanity in his acquired knowlec and looked upon the workingmen as hi inferiors and beneath his station. While Van Wyck acquired his wealth chiefly by inheritance and prudent investment, Dr. Miller has become wealthy by prostitut- ing his talents and the' profession of ed- itor by playing lackey to the Dillons, Du- rants and Goulds. The contrast between these two natives of New York could not possibly be stronger, even if the pbsitions had been reversed and Van Wyck had risen from the mudsill to opulence and Miller had been born with a golden spoon in his mouth rapublican does he easy. Honest Resentment. The action of the Grand Army of the Republic at San Francisco in voting down by the overwhelming majority of four to one the Lovering scheme to pen- sion every surviving soldier or sailor, whether disabled or not, shows that the soldiers have no sympathy with extrava- gant pension legislation which would in- sult the survivors of the rebellion by plue- ing them on & par with beggavs., There was honest resentment exhibited in the ust the demagogues who yearly try to capture the “soldier vote” by rep- resenting our veterans as beggars for bounty which they do mnot need. Every disabled soldier should receive com- pensation for his disability. This is the debt which the nation owes to its patri- otic defenders. The man wholost health orliimbs on the battlofield or as the resu It of service,the widows or orphans of veter- ans, cach and all should be liberally pro- vided for by the country which they served. No trifling technicality should be permitted to stand in the way of gen- erous relief in such instances, and for all such the pension laws should be broadly construed. But every veteran of the slightest sels-respoct should protest against the doctrine that their patriot- 15m entitles them to a compensa- tion tin dollars or cents on no other grounds than mere servico in the war for the suppression of the rebellion, Such a theory if admitted will dim the glory of their achievements and detract from the future lustre of their renown. The Grand Army of the Republic have added to their olaims on national esteem by their action at San Francisco. The men who nrged on by demagogy on one side and the host of pension agents on the other side are elamoring for whole- sale pensioning on grounds admitted by no other nution on earth, should take due notice and govern themselves accord- ingly. — Mexico's Oapacity for War. The possibility, uudoubtedly remote, of arupture of the peaceful relations be- tween the United States and Mexico, just now embarrassed a little by the Cutting aflair, naturally suggests an inquiry re- specting the eapacity and the state of preparation of Mexieo for carrying on a war. The common impression awmong Americans 1s that a conflict with the “‘sister republie” would be little more than a holiday event—in sporting par- lance a “walk-over.” Enthusiastio pa- triots feast their imaginations with the picture of a great American army mov- ing with irresistible foree, aimost unchal- lenged and unimpeded, straight on to the City of Mexivo, and in a balf or u third of the time that was required by the victo- being that they have n THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THU rious Gorman legions to reach Paris,plant: ing the stars and stripes above the halls of the Montezumas in the Mexican oapl- tal.

The regular army consists of 8,700 officers and 45,523 men on the peace footing and 160,953 men on the war footing. It is well drilled and armed, the almost continual threat of domestic trouble requiring that the army be kept on an excellent footing. These soldiers will tlght, and although the record of Mexiean valor is confessedly not the most briil- iant, in defense of their country they would be found a foe not to be despised. Undoubtedly Mexico eould count upon putting an army in the fieid, from first to last, of at least three hundred thousand men, and an invading army could not safely be less numerous than this. To marshal and equip such an army would involve an immense outlay that woula make a very materinl addition to our public debt, and greatly prolong the time when tho burden of taxation could be further reduced. Looking at the matter solely from ti:a practical standpoint it is not possible to figare out any profit from such a confliet, for we could not hope to got a money indemnity, as Germany did from France, and the best popular judg- ment would not approve of any enlarge- ment of our territory n this direction. Thero 1s another consideration in con- nection with this matter which may have an incidental impor reported that negotiations were in pro- gress between Mexico and two or three of the Central American states looking to the formation ot an alliance offonsive and defensive, and it is not at all unlikely that the certainty of hostilities between the United ates and Mexico would ten the consumn of such an lliance, particularly if the impres obtained among the Central American governments that the aim of a war on the part of the United States was terri- torial aggrandizement. Among those people jealousy of the United States out- weighs respect, and they are drawn by a natural affinity toward Mexico. They would, there is reason to believe, risk a great deal to help the Mexicuns in a war with t The weak voint in the Mexican condition 1s the financial. The revenues, with the practice of the most careful cconomy, have not for sev- eral years met the requirements of the government, and with a recognized debt of §155,000,000 the credit of the nation is not strong. It is hardly probable that the goyernment could replenish its tres ury very largely on borrowed oapital to carry on a hopeless war against the United States. Redesignated Officials. A controversy has arisen since the ad- journment of congress over the action of the president in reappointing & number of federal officials, whose nominations have either been rejected by the senate or failed to be acted upon before adjourn- ment, and some leading papers have questioned the right of the president to override the will of the senate in reap- pointing nominees whom the senate has refused to contirm, We presume no well informed party will maintain that the vresident may not at pleasure reappoint nominees whose appointments have not been acted on 1n oxecutive session, It is a com- mon practice for vpresidents to commission nominees whoso cases have not been reached betore congress ad- journed. Judge Crounse, for instance, was nominated collector of internal rev- enuc tor Nebraska by President Hayes o few days before the adjournment of con- gress. When Judge Crounse’s name was reached in exceutive session the day be- fore adjournment, Senator Paddock objected and the nomination, under the rules, went oyer. In other words, con- gress adjourned without acting upon his nomination. The next day dJudge Crounse was reappointed by the president and upon filing his bond received his commission and took charge of the oftice. At the next session he was confirmed, but f he had been rejected his predecessor would have been rein- stated at least until the president could fill the vacancy with the consent of the sonate. In cases where the senate has absolutely rojected an appointnent we see no rea- son why the president cannot reappoint the rejected party during the recess of congress. But if the senate still remains in session he could not do so There is no grounds for presuming be- osuse the senate has not acted upon some appointments that the part would be rejected when their names are called. The president is not bound to imagine that an appointment which has been held is offensive to the senate. The Duty in the Case. There 15 a groat doal of senseless talk about it being the duty of the United States to give Mexico a sound thrashing at once and to annex a large slice of greaser ground to Uncle Sam’s domin- ions. T'he only duty at present lies with Mr, Oleyeland’s administration. hat duty 1s to maintain a firm and dignified stand in the controversy over the Cutting case and to submit the result to eongress if it seems Lo warrant congressional action, So far, the United States, on the offi- cial documents mude publie, have a clear case and a strong case. lts statement, as made by Mr. Bayard, is as concise us could be desired .

As hinted several weeks ago in the Bee the Omaha horse railway seriously considering the adviss changing its main lines to 3 tem. The action of the eable company in loeating its tracks on streets already covered by the horse cars will probably result in the convorsion of the Farnam street horse railway road into a cable line. By this mode the horse railway company hopes to successfully fight oft ruinous competition on the leading thoroughfare of Omaha There will probably bo little objection raised to such a move. Two tracks on a strect are better than four, if the two will give as good and as rapic rvice. The only strong argument which the cable line can make for ocennying Far- nam street is the infrequent and slow transit afforded by the mule teams, which drag the horse cars up and down the hills, Witha cable line already in operation there is little probability that public sentiment would approve of ad- ditional trackage on tho street. This is what the horse railw \y means when it intimates that the citizens of Omaha will have a cable system, whether present injunctions hold or fail. Omaha is not at all interested in the privato quarrels of the two public cor- porations except so far as they aflect th bility to carry out ther contracts common rriers. The ecity has a eht to demand t it shall receive the best and most improved service in re- turn for the valuable franchises which it has donated to the two companies. 1f one declines to give it the other shouvld be encouraged to do s, When both profess willingness to, keep up with the times, the public will ofily step in to see that the competition for: territory does not invade the ground reserved for other than transportation purposes. company is THERE is reason to believe that North Sixteenth street will not be paved by fair time unless work is done’ more rapidly than at present. Bétween 20,000 and 30,000 ya of paving still remain to be laid. At the rate at which the job is ad- vancing it will take noarly six weoks to complete it. It makes little differcnce to the people of Omahi' who is to blame, contractors or railroads, the result is the same. The contractors cannot cvade rosponsibility by throwing the blame upon the railroads. But the railroads will not help themselves to future con- tracts by retarding the work of the con- tractors, More men and hard work on Doth sides ought to relieve the pressure. Voring additional hydrants in overy direction and in numbers far beyond the requirements of the city bas become too common. Fewer hydrants and better service is what we need. A large num- ber of the hydrants set avo practically use- loss for fire protecticn, owing to the in- suflicient pressure. There is no use in incrensing our water tax necdlessiy for the benefit of the treasury of the company. AND now the Herald expiains that it was Louis Heimrod it was after when it denounced Omaha democrats in bulk as “bums.” The Herald uses a big scythe to cut a narrow swath. It is in danger of slashing its own legs in the attempt to use an unfamiliar tool. Dr. MimLER writes to his paper from Now York to set the key upon the ques- tion of the Van Wyck succession.
