It has floated off in space.

Van Wyck, Nebraska has renson to feel proud of her senator. TaE anti-Van Wyek faction of the re- publican party in Nebraska is daily grow- ing weaker. At the present rate they will scarcely muster a corporal's guard by the time the legislature meets, Grorge GouLp dodged the reporters on his wedding trip by taking no wed- ding trip at all. Ho was as d at work at his desk the day after his marriage as if the event was of no more impor than a decline of an eighth in Wabash, ‘Luik people have been winning against the politic in a dozen conventions during the past ten days. Senator Van Wyck's appeal for a direet vote of confi- denco at the polls has been reinforced by direet votes of endorsement in the con- ventions, Oxana democrats will be astonished to learn on the authority of their organ that Senator A. 8 Paddock is seeking their sufirages for the office of county comnussioner, *‘Mr. A. 8. Paddock” is vouched for by the Herald “as a sound democrat,a man of sterling integrity and largo business capacity.” Residents of Beatrice will bo equally astonished at the information that “there could bo no ob- Jection to him on the ground of resi- dence.” As Senator Paddock lives nearly 8 hundred and twenty miles distant from Omaha as the crow flies, we imagine that the Herald has been misintormed when it says that he “is being urged for the plaoe by many prominent citizens ot Omaha as well as many living boyond the corporation lines.” Tk 21t congress district of Ohio, which ineludes most of the populons and wealthy manufacturing city of Cleve- land, is at present represented by a dewo- crat, although the distriet is republican by a good round majority whenever party lines are striotly drawn, Several conditions have during the past four yoars oporated to divide the republicans in the eongressional contests, but this year none of the conditions unfavorable to harmony appear to be present, and s the democratic representative has not grown in popular favor, there is very good promise that this Ohio distriet will send a republican member to the fiftioth congr Another reassuring fact 18 in the nonunation of Hon, Amos Town- send, who represented the distriet for six cars from 1877 to 1983, and as a work- ng member made a most ereditable record, ha conmiplished move for the materinl interests of the district than any vepresentative before or since.

A Promise from Both Sides. The new democratic campaign book, issued by the national congressional com- mittee, declares it to be the policy of the tministration, and therefore infer- entinlly of the party, to open up foreign markets for our products. 1t claims that the desire is to extend the trade of the United States into eountries to the south of us, whose commerce is steadily ing, in some direotions with wondertul rapidity, and much the great part of which is controllod by England, France and Germany. It has not been generally supposed that the democeratic party was very much concerned regard ing this trade or in fact any othe Its course hitherto has certainly been such as to warrant the opinion that it was wholly indifferent respecting the foreign com- merce of the country, It has generally been found in pretty solid opvosition to everymeasure of a practical character the ohject of which wasto improve our trade relations with other lands, and par ticularly with the southern countries.

By an overwhelming majority at the polls they rejected the proposition to turn over their power of regulating the railroads to a body of men who were certain to be controlled by the corpor: tions. The verdict of the people was sharp and deeisive. Thore was no grounds for dispute to what it meant, It was v and conclusive victory over the railroad brigade of corporate hench- men. But before the legislature ad- journed the railroads succeeded in securing cenough votes of re- pubiicans to accomplish 1 the state capital what they had failed to secure at the polls, The infamous commissioner bill was passed in out- rageous defiance of popular sentiment and individual pledges.

Hearing Prom Home, The apparent inditlerence of President Cleveland regarding the condition of af- fairs at C ton is beginning to be iticised in the house of his friends, the south, and it would not he surprising to find that there is a great deal of indigna- tion in that quarter which has been kept under control for reasons not diflicult to interpret. ‘The simple truth is, that the president’s course in this matter has the apnearance of cold-blooded henr! y and there is no apparent ground on which 1t ean bs excused. The fact that he has no lawful authority to use gov- ernment supplicsin aid of the Charleston sufterers does not aequit bim of the duty of exerting himself in such direction as he muay for the relicf of those unfortunate people, although he apparently assumes that it does. The limitation upon his ex- ccutive powers doesn't affect his privi- logo s a citizen or put avy constraint upon his humanity. As citizen and man he might have with entire propriety ap- pealed to his fellow-eitizons in behalf of the sutferers and given an earnest of his sympathy in substantinl form. The ex- ample would huve been an incentive to others, und undoubtedly would have causod & very material dif- forence in the amount subscribed. But he did nothing of the sort. He kepy right nlong with his hunting and fishing, secmingly without the least thought or care 68 to how the people of Charleston were faring or likely to fare. And un- doubtedly in this conduct there is illus- trated o prominent quality of Mr, Cleve- land’s chavacter. Mo is not a man of active and strong sympathies, and in of the exceprional nature of the Charleston eatastrophy it is not easy to conceive what oxtent of calamity to other people would win s serious eon- cern to the tempor abandonment of his pursuit of pleasure. It cannot be agreeable to any eitizen, and must bo humiltating to many, to think of the ex: ocutive ot the ion as & man who 1s in- capable of being aftected by the misfor- tune and distress of a large number of his fellow citizons, due to a eause boyond tucir control, whan the question of his individual enjoyment is involved, though only for a brief time. Yet it is quite un- possible 1o candidly have any other opin- ion of Mr. Cleyeland sinee his failure to show the least concorn i eeting the Charleston calamity, which prowmptly touched the sympathies of Engle S queen, and is now eliciting substantial tokens of sympathy in other lands.

Thisisa genuine picce of news.

However, any evidence of enlighten- ment and progress i theideas and policy of that party will be heartily welcomed, and if in this matter it is really digposed to adopt the policy which the republicans have been urging for years, and i sup- port of which they have piled up [facts and arguments mountain high, there nothing to do but to commend the demo- erats for the awakening that has thus tardily come to them, and to encourage them in theiv conversion. This question of extending our foreign commerco is getting to be of such prassing impor- tance to the welfare of the country that i 't onght not to be affected by purty differ- | ences. ‘The country needs tho great and growing markets of the sonthern half of the hemisphere, and it will need them more and more as the productiveness of the nation increases.

The Outbreak at Madrid. volt or mutiny of a few hundred at Madrid on Sunday night ap- ve been one of those ill-con- affordssoveral examples, though we do not recall one which was quite so clumsy and complete a_ finsco as this lust alleged attempt to inangurate revolution, Whether or not tho influ- ences that produced Sunday’s outbreak can be safely measured by the character and extent of this ‘“‘revolt” is uncert; If they can, then they are manifestly in- ant, and need not bo seriousl) »st degree mena ing the peace of the kingdom or the per- manence of the regency. The dispatches indicate that the men who engaged in tho uprising and went through the streets of Madrid shouting ‘“‘Live the republic!” did $0 in the belief that they had a large part of the army with them, and that it was only necessary to apply the torehin order to light the fires of revolution in every direction. It must have been a crushing disclosure when they encountered at the Prado two thousand soldiers loyal to the government whom they had supposed were their friends and would join the r volt, and when later they found the | racks and arsenal, instead of being thrown open to admit them, so vigorously de fended that they were compelled to reti from the offort to get poss government, it is however ev taken by surprise, and had the rc been more skillfully planned the author ties might have had a great deal of trou- ble in suppressing it, but a few hours su ficed to enable the government to unde stand the situation and then suppression of the outbreak became easy, though not without loss of life he uprising was professedly in the interest of republicanism, but it 15 more than probable that it was due chiefly to the machinations of that chronic dis- turber, Don Carlos, who is ready to play any sort of a game to further his ends. This subposition tinds warrant in the fact that this pretender, who is understood to be continually hatching conspiracies, re- contly issued & manifesto in which he held out flattering promises of what he would do for the nation were the control of the, government committed .to his hands. That his agents have been tam. pering with the army, with the result of winning over the handful of soldicrs who made the outbreak of Sunday, is more then likely. Assuming this to be 50, the extent of the uprising demon- strates the insignificance of the 5t inlluence, though perhaps the wonder ought to be that the party has any influ- ence at all outside the ranks of adventur- ers and frecbooters—who have ever) thing to gain and nothing to lose from civil strife and disorder, An eflet of this movement will be to render the government more vigilant, It had probably grown over-confident from the expressions of loyalty and patriotism that were drawn oul by the death of King Alfonso, and which were doubtless very gonerally smeer But in relaxing the discipline and watchfulness whi must be continually maintained in a govern- ment like that of Spain, opportunity given to the ambitious maleontents to carry on their insidious work, of which Sunday’s episode was the fruit. The wholo r—the insignilicance of the uprising and the ease with which it was sup- pressed—showed that the present govern- ment uf Bpain, so long as it maintains the policy under which it has proceeded thus far, ought not to have anything to fear from the schemes of the worthless con- spirator whois responsible for most of the poliitical trouble occurring from time to time in that country.

Last fall, under the influence of the ex posures made by this paper, the board of trade started the ball a-rolling for a rail road controlled by Omaha capital and conducted in the intorests of thiscity and its trade territory. The freight bureau has now taken the matter up and the combined action of these two organiza tions should be sufticient to float the en- terpriso into an actual existence The time has arrived when Omaha can no longer afford to lie on her oars and entrust her transportation interests to corporations whose terming arem un- friendly citics, 1f our merchants are to keep this city abreast of the development of territory which is ours by the right of nearness and our ability to supoly it, we must have free and open access to our neighbors. For years this paper has been pointing out the dangers which threatened the commercial supremacy of our city. Through fair and foul weather and good and evil report, against the opposition of cowards who believed that blind submis sion to force would m time remedy the evils of oppression, and in antagonism to dishonest tools whose business it was to throw dust in the eyes of their dupes, the BEE has urged the construction of roads originating in this city, controlled by Omaha capital and in active competition with unfriendly rivals. It was so with the narrow guage road that was slaugh- tered by treachery in the house of its iends. It was so with the Omaha and orthern until that scheme was developed intoa plan to sccure local aid for a northern extension of the Missourt Pa- cifie. To any honest project to build a road from this city into trade territory now controlled by corporations which are kniting this city in the interests of its rivals, the BEe will give an honest and unflinching support. While it still be- lieves that Omaha is the best oommereial point on the Missouri river and that her merehants are not yot as seriously in- jured as some of our contemporaries in- sist, itsens clearly the dangers menacing the jobbing trade.

Bopara, Sioux Co., Nob,, Sept. 17— [Correspondonce of the Bk ]—This town is located in what is known as Hot Creek Basin,a region of wondrous beanty and fertility and but a few years ago of the the favorite haunts of the savage and useless red man, This region is but little known to the outside world, all the 1 and geographical works of our © scarce mention it, or if they do they dismiss th ot with a few words ro garding its g cal formation. Terms such as pliocene. miocene, cretaceous, ete,, comprise about all that the writers have given us, 1t is true the geological formation is of especial nterest to the scientists ; it is no practical value to us and cow- men. Taik to us of seience in Greek and Latin if you please, and we will listen with profound respect, but come here and gaze upon our sleck cattle, our bounteous crops of grain, especially corn and vegetablos, and you will express your admiration and surprise in good old Plain English that all can understand.

Now that I have given you a rude in- troduction to the little domain, [ would like to tell you and your readers akout the trinls and tribulations in our at- tempts to o NIZE SIOUX COUNTY. Last winter a petition was drawn up in porper form, signed by some fifty actual residents of the county, most of whom had lived here for ye: nd acquired some property which is subject to tax- ation. Tlis petition was accompanied by aftidavits from the officials of Cheyenne county, stating the number of tax p: ers n the county and €., and forwarde through C. C. McNish, of Wisner, to the governor. Two months rolled away and no tidings reached us as to the fate of our petition, At length we wrote to our attorney, who wrote to the governor. answer his excellency stated there was another petition on file in his_oflice, praying for the orgamization of Sioux county. After making dihgent in. quiry we were unable to find A man in the county that had ever seen, signed or lieard of any other petition for zation but one forwarded by Mr. We then wrote the governor considered a very rospeetful Inm to " take some action in the matter. This met the same fate as the petition. We have heard from it, however, ina semi-official way, to the effect that the governor stated to some of s friends that he should pay no attention to o gang of cowboys and clodhoppers, but should gimply consign their documents to_the Twaste baske! He may not have said this, but he ha acted this sentiment out to the life. Itis true there area number of cowboys in the settlement, but they are men in every sense of the word. "~ Most of them are actual settlers, and when the time comes to round up their votes you'll find none of them bearing the Dawes brand. The 700 settlers in this busin are a power that Governor Dawes cannot afford to slight. A sub settlors what we letter, requesting few w o days in since another pe- tition the interest of the railroad company and swearing the signatures of twenty-eight persons was forwarded to the governor praying for the organization of the county.” Some of the signers of that petition are not residents. of the county, not having lo- cated a claim in the county. The peti- tion was returned beeause the petitioners failed sending any aflidavits stating the number of tax-payers mn the county. On Saturday last a commissioner, or a some- thing inside of fine clothes, was sent or imported from Hay Springs to swear some one to their documents. This com- missioner or something else struggled a long time m vain with an honest granger to induce him to swear _to something he knew nothing about. Next they lit down on an old timer here just as the old moon eame peering over the bluffs and induced him in the uncertain hght of an old ranch stable to sign their aflidavit. We are as eager as any of our fellow citiz for the organization of the county but we must be_allowed to enter our pro- test against i g do in the interest of a railroad ring even if there is a governor in the middle of it.
