This action of the government will throw open several hundred thousand acres of fertile land to white settlers. It [ may be regarded as the opening wedge to the division of the entire Indian terri- tory. Most of the civilized tribes are now in favor of such a solution of the Indian question, There will no doubt be a gen- eral influx of White settlers as soon as the president’s order becomes generally nown, ‘Tne commissioner of the general land oftice has completed the adjustment of nine railroad grants, In eight of these the adjustment shows that an aggregate of 1,252,485 acres have been erroneously patented or certified in excess of the amounts due under the grants. The same companies have filed lists of selec- tions aggregating 1,644,384 acres in ad- dition, making a total of 2,807,869 acres received and claimed in excess of the erants, These figures carry their own comment. Will these incorporated robbers be dealt with as thieves on a smaller scale are? 1f not, why not? S THE election of a Nebragka woman as alay delegate to the next general con- B ference of the Methodist church will i bring the question of woman's rights in religious matters before that body. 1he Methodists have never taken much stock inthe Apostle Paul's command, ‘‘Let the women keep silence in the churches,” but so far females have been excluded from membership in their legislative gatherings. Nebrasku's lady delegate may not be allowed to sit as » member of the general conference, but her elec- tion will cause a hot discussion of the subject and may lead to a great innova- tion in Methodist affairs. Nebraska is always in the van in the onward march of progress—womun's rights not ex- cepted. Tue victory of the Volunteer in 1ts race with the Scotch yacht Thistle, yes- terday, has again demonstrated the superiority of American seamen over those of Great Britain, Our English neighbors have long and loudly asserted that the new yacht was the fastest ever constructed in that country, and that in every way it was superior to any American schooner that had ever been built. Now that this supposed invincible boat bas been beaten, the blame for the defeat will be bestowed upon the head of her sailing master. From the reports of the race 1t would certainly seem that poor seamanship was displayed, but it may be true that tne Thistle was not all that her enthusiasue English adwmirers claimed i for her.

Several causes have contributed to this result, among them the attractions offered by the federation of labor unions instituted at Columbus, O., last year, and the growth of hostility to the administration of Mr. Powderly. The former influence has been very great in inducing organ- 1zations of skilled workmen to withdraw from the Kunights, the system upon which the federation 12 formed sppearing to this class to offer a fairer and safer basis for successful combination than that of tho Knights.

It is evident that the forthcoming gen- eral assembly of the Knights of Labor is to be one of the most important the or- ganization has held, and it is apparent that its results will go far to determine what is to be the future of the organiza- tion. 1t is to be hoped that wise and di creet counsols will prevail, and that the Knights will come out of the ordeal in a better condition than ever to advance the interests of labor. —_— George in New York, Whatever opinion we may entertain regarding the peculiar economic doe- trines of Mr. Henry George, it must be conceded that he is showing himself to be a leader of great vigor and zeal. The campaign he is eonducting in New York 18 marked by an earnestness and enthu- siasm which compel attention to it, and there is reason to believe that it is stead- ily winning adherents. Everywhere that George speaks he is greeted by large audiences that listen eagerly to ull he has to say. Undoubtedly many are at- tracted by curiosity to see the man and to hear from his own lips the exposition of his land theories and those principles which, he aflirms, would, if adonted, do away with poverty and elevate every class of labor, but much the larger num- ber are drawn to his meetings from a feeling of strong interest in what he ad- vocates, and all who are predisposed to accept his views are pretty sure to be- come earnest followers after they have heard im. Tho ability of Henry George cannot be fairly questioned, he is un- doubtedly sincere, and impracticable and visionary as some of his theories are thought to be they are not all without a plausibility that renders them acceptable to a very large element of the people. There is a studied effort mado to mis- represent the position of George, and this chiefly by democrsatic papers which profess to be the particular triends of the laboring masses. The leader of the united labor party appears, however, to be in no wise disconcerted by this form of attack, asindeed he need not be. Whether his philosophy is the one that 1s to improve the economic and so- cial condition of mankind, or is simply a coMection of vagaries, 1t is at least proving of use in causing people to think and investigate, with the result of exposing to view many pravailing abuses and false conditions. This gives it and its author a value not to be ignored. Practically the campaign of Henry George seems certain to muke consider- able inroads upon the strength of both of the politiea! parties, He has recently had some important accessions of labor support, and it is very likely that in the rural (hstricts a considersb le number of farmers will array themselvos under his banner. He is working hard, with the advantage of having someting new to say while the old political parties have nothing. ADDRESSING 8 gathering of farmers re- cently, Senator Sherman among other good counsel as to diversifvine their pro- LSt w LiARIE s () PP o A v te ductions advised them to give attention to the cultivation of sorghum and beets for sugar. He thonght there was excel- lent promise for the farmers of the United States in this direction. possibla to create here a great indastry yielding liberal profits to those engaged in it, but when developed it would retain to the people of this country the vast sum now annually paid for the sugar of other countries. That we are a sugar-consum- ing people is shown by the faoct that we use three billion pounds a year, only one- tenthi of which is produced in this coun- try. The cost of this sugar is $150,000,000, halt of which amount goes out of the country, of The in making sugar from sorghum in profit- able quantities seems to have settled the question that sorghum-raising can be made in an extensive reglon of country a highly advantageous industry, while it is believed that in California the sugar-beet can be most profitably cultivated.

Mr. Brachvogel enjoys an international repu- tation as one of the foremost German- American writers. For many yearseditor of the New York Belletrische Journal and correspondent of the leading papers in Germany, his attainments in the lit- erary and journalistic field huve received honorable recognition on both sides of the Atlantic. His desire to identify him- self with the growing west has impelled him to locate 1n the most progressive of far western cities. The proprietors of the Couricr and the German-Americans of Nebraska are to be congratulated upon the acquisition ALL advices from Maryland concur in saying that the outlook for the republi- cans grows more favorable. The defec- tion of the reform democrats and the active fight they are making against the machine is bringing out fully all the soandalous operations of the Gorman gang, and a great many 1espectable dem- ocrats who were not at first favorably disposed toward the reformers are begin- ning to manifest sympathy with them, ionably the management of poli- tics in Maryland under Gorman has been as bad as it was possible to make it, and the defeat of that thoroughly unscrupu- ly to be desired in the interest of decent politics. As yet there has been no sign from the administration that it is not in full sympathy with Gor- man or will not give him whatever as- sistance it can. Last Saturday a whisky-bloated oil- room bummer, who notoriously kept a low dance house on lower Douglas street for years, and who makes his living as a jury-tixer and go-between for bribe- takers at conventions and legislaturs waus admitted to a seat in the republican county committee meeting on a bogus proxy from a country precinet in which he never lived, The insolent harangue of this shyster, bummer, swindler and forger was commended by Cadet Tay- lor, who also had been snaked into the commuttee under false pretenses. This 18 emenently in accord with the eternal fitness of things. Birds of a feather Jock together, but it is an elevat- ing spectacle for decent men in the com- munity that pemitentiary birds should be held up as models of political integrity by a paper professing to represent great moral 1deas. ApvICES from the eastern money cen- ters are more reassuring. A Philadelphia paper says the banks of that city have plenty of money to loan, and are accom- modating their customers as readily now as they have been at any time during the past four or five years. Boston also sends out more favorable reports of the monetary sttuation, and the restored confidence in New York seems to hold. It is explained that one scource of the difticulty in New York is due to the new law which permits the banks of the west to keep a portion of their reserves, all of which was hitherto deposited in New York, in western financial centers. 1t is not unlikely that a considerable pressure will be made in congress from New York for the repeal of this law. How much longer does the council propose to carry that gang of tax-eating supernumeraries on the city pay roll? What excuse is there for foisting the sons of councilmen on the city at extravagant salaries to do work which the ecity clerk is hired and paid to do? Why should the city pay for three deputies at $150 per month in the city treasurer’s office when the charter only allows him one deputy? Why should the strect comuissioner be allowed to keep a small army of invalids and pensioners on his pay roll, when there is no more need of them than there is for a seventh wheel to a wagon? Why don't the council lop off all needless em- \;lo_‘jes and manage city affairs on a strict usiness basis? 715 a shame to the city .t_hut the pris- oners in our juil should be kept shivering in the cold during these chilly nights. b e F further controversies over the methods of the political conspirators who tried to steal a republican delegation from Doug- las county to the state convention, but if deocent citizens we shall accommodate I e dioauists it o ke oo i ¢ In order to manifost their This is of the average Omaha counciiman, —— Tuis paper has endeavored to avoid their organ persists in its malicious flings at reputable republicans and the boodlers and political tramps who control its columns.
