The g g ¥ propose to go before tie congrossional investigntion committee appointed to take evidence in the case and protest against the charges made that tho re- cently imported [talians are paupers working under the padrone stem. The facts, nevertheless, show that 35,000 Ttalians were landed in a destitute con- dition in York during the last three months, and that hundreds of them are now in a starving condition. New Mi. BURNHAM'S ordinance to pro- hibit fakirs, patent-medicine vend and peddlers is altogether too sw p- ing. It is proper enough to prohibit the fakir nuisance, but aslong ns we have no mavket houses, the poddling of vegetables and fruits shonld not he rostrictod. Living is high enough in Omaha, and if it were not for the fruit and vegetuble peddlers the working men would be deprived of the opportus nity to procure seasonable garden and orchard products at prices within their menans. It will be time enough to abol- Ish fruit peddlers when we establish a public market. A FORMIDABLE opposition to Mr. Mills has . developed in his congres- sional district, and some doubt is ex- P whether he can secure o vomination. His eleetion to the pres- ent congress was by n heavily reduced majority, though still large, but as the wool interest in his district is extensive and is sald to be almost solidly arrayed ssed re- ngainst him, his chances of being re- turned to the next congress ave thought to be very greatly diminished. Mills, however, is cortain of rece fnfluence the national administration can exert, and with that assistance he will doubtless be able to pali throngh. —— Tue campaign of eviction has taken a new lease of life in Ireland in County Clare. There are o one hundred families or more than a thousand p sons agniust whom warrants of evieti have boen issued for non-payment rent, The overdue rent of four hundred thousand dollars dates back as far as 1574, when an arbitrary increase was made ou the Vandeleur estate. As only a smali number of the tenants have been able to meet the terms set by the land owners, the harsh measures of turning these helpless peonle out of house has been resorted to. The settle- ment of the Irish land question seems In the light of these facts far from being accomplished ving all the ove Tk president signed the bill for the establishment of a new fort within ten miles of Omaha. What loeation will be sclected is yet a matter of con- jecture. The most available location will be some tract southwest between the Burlington, Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific roadg. 1In any event, however, the present site will not be abandoned for the noxtelghteen months, The romoval is to take y the new site has been propor] snd the buildings erccted. aps propriations for new buildings is only one hundred and thirty-three thousand dollars. That will hardly meet the re- quirements and another appropriatian ‘will have to be secured next winter in order to insure adequate quarters for a . ‘ten-company garrison and the officers ‘of the departwent. Impudent and Imprudent. The r: pad republican organ has the impudence to nsgert that the editor of e Ber s disgrantied over the =nap nt call 6f the county committee t has provided for the election of alternates, and thus abolished prox- es. This i decidsdly cool, to sny the least. Every well-dinformed republic in this state knows that the railroad faction have dominated the party and controlied its conventions mainly by the use of proxies which they either bought outright or obtained frandu- lently from hulldozed nilrond em- ployes. [t is a matter of history in this county that "nidn ific shop men who were elocted delegates to county ventions on anti-monopoly tick compelled, by theeats of discharee, give up proxies to shop bosses. Insome instances these men smade tol town on convention day, and where men refused to give up proxies, they ordered out of town on duty stations. It is notorious that parties elected hy the faction opposed to the miscule of the railroad hought up and given positions in the company’s em- ploy for beteaying the vot thut trusted them. [tisa matter of history t this infamons intevference with a con- 3 were ro at distant hosses were fre W fair expression of the pacty was, in ®ason and out of season, de- nounced and opposed by THE BEE, And when the republican county com- mittee some years inang- urated system of stration to prevent fraud and repeating at repubtican primarics, and provided for alterniies as subst s for absent del- gates, the railroad faction by the most disgraceful and riotous assaults, in which ballot boxes smashed, judges of election forcibly ejected and voters literally driven from the polls, defeated the reform, and after bribing enough members of the committee to get winajority, had anew primary called on the old method of repenting and ballot- were box stuffing.

This is likely under the most favoruble eircumstances to be tl work of several months. There are local and tribal jealousies to be pla- cated, old fictions to be exploded, head men to be won over and chiefs to be purchased by and promises. sStanding Rock, Rose- bud and Pine Ridge must be visited in person and w hundred avguments \inst cession must be met and re- futed before success is in sight. Such a result will take time i the eager and anxious must wait with patience the consummation of negotiations before entering upon the promised land for which they yearn so The great Sioux reservation contuins the most fertile land of Dakota. It has the most equable climate, the richest soil and the best watered land of any of the vast tervitory of which it is a part. For years it has been a barvicr to the settlement of our northorn hor- der and has opposed itself to the pa age of railvonds to the Biack Hills, Under the treaty proposed the Indians will be bunched into five reservations of 11 size, ench surrounded by magnificent farm- ing country and walled in by a living line of railroad and settiement.

Undoubtedly many republi- cans and democrats who are displeased with the positions of their respective parties on the tarill question are seriously discussing with themselves the be question of personal duty, and those with whom the courage of convictions is stronger than devotion to party, will in time the ¢ nsfer their allegiance to » with whieh they have been in gonism.
