BRIGADIER GENERAL Couny aud his First brigade of Nebraska National guards are now on dress parade at ‘Wahoo. I¥ our old citizen, “Tom” Murray, was a little slow, he deserves to be con- gratulated for giving Omaha a first- class hotel. — It LOOKS very much as if congress is building a fence higher than the Chi- nese wall to keep the pig tails out of this country. A. Rpor was very prominent and | promiscuqus at the Hastings union labor convention. As Dr. Conklin would say, A. Root is always on hand to save his country. THe state election took place at Ar- kansas on the 8d and the democratic ticket was clected as usual. It was n very quiet ffair, taking it all in all. Only a half-dozen or so were killed. IN THE first drawing of the Panama canal’s lottery scheme the bon@holders drew only 8,200 in prizes while M. de Lesseps pockoted $122,800. No wonder ‘the father of the canal is credited with being a shrewd financier. THe “Drummer” boys have been given the whole city for their sample room wherein to display themselves and their goods to best advantage. It is safe to predict they will have an im- mense and appreciative crowd of cus- tomers as they go marching by. BRIcK are now being contracted for at seven dollars and a half in the wall, ; and this price we ‘are assured by con- : tractors will be maintained without trouble during the coming year, even Af fuel should run higher. Wiih brick at such low figures the building of “frame houses is a stupendous blunder 3 unless, indeed, the owner expects to g move his house. The era of frame houses in Omaha is about to close. ' MANY bank officials in Canada as well as the United States do not take nny stock in Mr. Cleveland’s war-like message of retaliation. They are still engaged in carxying on reciprocal rela- j tions between the two countries as if nothing unpleasant had happened. The teller of the National bank of Quecbee 4 has just transferred a big block of its capital to this country duty free. It would be too bad indeed if non-inter- course should break up this profitable business. Tristwohundred and se venty-six days, including to-day, since the Fiftieth con- - gress began its first session, and the end is not yet in sight. The chances appear to be that thesession will oxtend o the middle of October at least, and amey go beyond that. The session is al- ready the longest on record but 4 one, the first session of the ‘Thirty-first congress having lasted sthree hundred and two days. Theve is every probability that the present ses- aion will beat the record, and it will be @emorable for little else. ——— A GREAT deal of rubbish is being written and talked now-a-days as to the relations of THE BEE to General Thayer i and John A, McShane. THE BEE never deserts a republican unless he is dis- honest, disreputable or incompetent. General Thayer has been in public life . for many years, but nobody has ever = %kaown him to enrich himself at the 3 public expense. He was a poor man ) when he left the United States senate o wnd is a poor man to-day. Nobedy pre- tends that he is less competent than McShane for the duties devolving upon a chief executive. E———— K Avy that is now required to make b’ #his one of the most memorable weeks 4nthe history of Omaha isa gontin- uance of the beautiful weather of the past three days. 'We have the attrac- tions, and if the weather clerk will but remain in the kindly mood he has 80 far shown tens of thousands of Nebraskans will ind in the wmetropolis of the state an opportunity for enjoy- ment long to be remembered, her mer- chants and others will be largely bene- Aitted, and Omaha will have establishod astronger olaim thas ever to the re- spoct and admiration of the people of {this great commonwealth. Iteagan's Rashne: The wistuke twade by Senator Ren- gan of Téxas on Tuesday, in' making a somowhat violent speech on the floor of the senate defending the rebellion, will not improve the chances of the demo- cratic purty. In the present temper of the country there could have been no utterance more unfortunate for the party that is dominnted in congross, and inthe administration by its southe eloment thun a defense of slav the confederacy and secession by u sen- ator who was conspiculously identilied with the rebollion, and is to-Gay an ac- knowlodged and honored leader of the southiern wing of the democratic party. We can con ¢ of no provecati which could excuse or justify a man at this time in. defending secession and rebellion, and no man who will offer such a defense can fuirly be regarded as having been purged of the political heresies which brought on the great conflict for the life of the nation. The porson is in his system, and it would seem that if he has not been able to eliminate 1t after more thun a quarter of a century there is no probability of his ever doing so. Mr. Reagan is & man of superior ability. He has reached that time of life when cool judgment and wise discretion should prevail. His long and varied expericnce in public life should have taught him the folly of yielding to passion, however great the irritation. But on one thing the Texas scnator is supremely sensitive, and that the coufederncy and the policy it represented. He believed in secession as a glorious and patriotic cause, and he 50 believes still, He honored the con- federacy above the union,and he thinks its wemory still entitled to be honored 11 who fought to uphold it. On all other themes Mr. Reagzan may be calm, and moderate and judicious, but on this one he ecan be neither, for the love of the lost cause and the admiration of its buried glories are y strong with him. Mr. Reagan regained his citizenship in the union, with no restraint or restriction upon his oppor- tunities, but he did not, as he should in good faith have done, dismiss forever from his mind all regard for the great crime against the vnion to which he was a willing and serviceable party. Must not this exhibition of Senator Rengan’s lingering and still strong af- fection for the memory of the confeder- acy inevitably suggest the question whether he does not represent the great mujority of those who sup- ported the confederacy and are now foremost in the councils of the demo- cratic party—the men who made the south solid and are keeping it so by methods which deprive thousands of its citizens of their political rights? Isnot every southern senator and representa- tive in full sympathy with the views avowed by the Texas senator, and are not such views necessary to political success in the south? Mr. Reagan should have been loss imprudent of his speech and borne with a wise paticnce the prodding and goading of the repub- licans. The attention of the people is extremely acute at this time and they are giving full weight to everything that is presented to them. It is nota favorable time for defending secession and rebellion, how- ever great the aggravation offered those who were parties to it. Asa leader in the dominant wing of the democratic party Senator Reagan has made a far from valueless contribution to the republican campaign. it The Sentiment in Oanada. There appears to be quite asgreata difference of opinion in Canada as to the policy to be pursued toward the United States, in connection with the fisheries issue,as there is here regard- ing what should be done in dealing with Canada. 8ir John Maedonald, the Ca- nadian prime minister, seems to have heartily welcomed the president’s men- ace of retalintion. The political as- cendancy of the prime minister was beginning to be seriously threatened by the agitation of cammercial union, which was making steady progress, somewhat to the dismay of the loyalists. The threat of vretaliation gave the movement & check and afforded an opportunity to Macdonald and his fol- lowers to recover some lost ground with the people. The prime minister as- sumed an attitude that had no feature of compromise in it and proposed a pol- icy that would very surely have to be resented by the United States. A strong bid was made to the loyalty of Canadians and it has been very well vo- warded. Macdonald’s vaunted policy of Canada for the Canadians has made many converts in the few days since Mr. Cleveland’s message was made pub- lic. Pretty much all talk of commercial union has ceased and imperialism runs high. The people generally are reported to exhibit a de- gree of enthusiastic patriotism never before equalled excepting perhaps at the time confederation was enacted. All thas as quite natural under the cir- cumstances, and perhaps commendable, But the prime minister and the loyal- ists are not having it all their own way. There ave several representatives af the liberals in the government, and these are not in cordial concurrence with the attitude and policy of Sir John Macdonald. They undoubtedly regard these as being prompted largely or wholly by personal ambition, just as it is widely believed in +this country that Mr. Cleveland’s message was apurely political move. The Canadian prime minister is most patriotically in- clined to retain his position, and he be- lieves the way to most certaiuly acecom- plish this is tostrengthen the sentiment of imperialism, put Canada in the atti- tude of defiance,and backed by England feurlessly ageept the consequences. But the liberal members of the government are said not to take kindly to this poliey, and a dispatch from Ottawa says that a rupture in the cabinet is not im- probable. Meanwhile the British gov- ernment has interfered in a way likely to eurb Sir John Macdon- ald’s zeal. It has called for a full history of the relations between the United States and Canada since the coufederation of the provinces, inform- ation as to the probable effect on the dominion +if the proposed retaliatory measures are carried out, and enjoined the utmost caution in every movement at present, Lord Salisbury is reported q NGRS to have addressed Sir John MeDopnld | k. dhe loss ihadl in very plain language relative to the | STRCrtrmstorat Fuirbury s accused of All | having Torgotten Oleveland's | der and to have become a very ‘! partisso,” Plattsmouth's damocratic ! following in tho steps o tal ud are organizing a Frances (leveland marching olub.

There appears to be no doubt that the general sentiment of Canada is favora- Dle to maintaining the past policy re- garding the fisheries dispute, but this is not universal. There is a cousider- able feeling that it would be a grave mistake and misfortune to provoke re- taliation, but those who hold Ahis view be present, and a grand competitive driil will be ono of the features of the occasion.

Another feature of the chief’s proclamation is the order to Captain Green and the police generally to report the names of all the men and all the women who are not legally mar- ried, but whe pretend to be and are liv ing together as man and wife in hotels, boarding heuses and private rooms. This is a job which ~will keep Cap- tein Green and his police ver They will have to masquerade in clothes as detectives and quarier them- selves in the various hotels and board- ing houses, and spend their nights looling overthe transomstosee whether the right man is lodged in the right place.

Atleast, they claim that MeShane will be police to shadow all professional | elected governor, which amounts to the and business men who frequent | samething” disorderly places, and veport | Says the Nebraska City Pross: “That John A McShanetas absolutely sincere in his wish to retire from political life, is shown by his accepting the gubernatorial nomina- tion. That setties it."” The Greeley Leader says that MeShane's nomination is an gmpty honor, *‘but Mr. M- Shane might as well have what little honor there is in it, as anybody.” “The republicans in their state convention at Lincoln,” says the Plainview Guazette, “covered themselves with The nominated a clean, strong tic W every true republican can support.” This is the way the Hardy Herald viewed the late state convention: *‘Lincoln is get- ting ontothe Omahastyle of packing con- ventions with young men of stentorisu voices ‘and a card by which to applaud.” The Graud Island Independent says: “That John A. MeShane:is the best man ever nominated by the democrats of this state there is no question, but notwithstanding that fact and the other fact that he has plenty of lubricator, he will not come within 25,400 of the goal of his ampition. He is likely putting himself in une for United States senator, in case the democrats by us cident, and through fool nominations by re- publicans, should capture the legislature,” The Sutton advertiser drobs into poetry over the defeat of Henry Grosshans, who thought he was running for state auditor, as follows: “The bark that held our boom went down, Beneath the waves bacause, Our candidate ran all alone, He had no brother-in-law." “The anti-monopoly clement of the repub- lican party in Nebraska ison top. The peo- ple are beginning to find out who their friends are,” says the Gresham Review. ““TPhe people of Nebraska were hardly ready to spare William Leese from the state board of transportation. His strong foliow- ing for a third term demonstrates the appre- ciation the people of Nebraska have for the effective work for justice between them and the railroads.” The Schuyler Herald evidently has no use for Nebraska legislatures, for it says: “If the next legislature should pass a law reg- ulating freight rates and then adjourn, they would have accomplished more than any other like gathering has done in this state. If they should do this and nothing more the people would rise up and bless the members of that body. This question is of more im- portance to the people than is the election of a United States senator over which so much fuss is now being made.” ‘The York Tunes says: “One very impor- tant fact was developed at the recent repub- lican state convention. That is, the rail- their names to him m writing, as'! soon as convenient. This order will keep Captain Green and the balance of the horse marines very busy and may compel the chief to make requisition on the police commission for additional memorandum beoks, stutionary and clerical assistance. Not a Comfortable Thing. Philadelphia ress. It is not & comfortable thing for the demo- crats in either house of -congress to stirup a debate on the civil service reform question, us Senator Vest discovered in the scnate yesterday. ~ The hypocrisy of President Cleveland’s position on the reform question is sure to bo exposed anew, and there is no answer to it that the democrats canmake. Nothing practical is everaccomplished by ' these exposures, however, since Mr. Cleve- land is & candidate for re-election and & horde of federal office-holders grateful for favors recoived are all at work with his knowledge and in many instances under his direction. Noreform s possible under such circumstances. —————— Mr. Cleveland and Civil Service. Kanaas City Journal. Mr. Cleyeland ‘told the civil service re- formers that he was in favor of their princi- ples, and that no removals should be made except for cause, and that faithful officors should be retained and reappointed. Unless the postmaster of New York may be classed as an exception, there is not on record the uppointment of a single republican to a posi- tion by Mr. Cleveland, except the terms of the law required mixed appointnents, as in cases like the commission under the inter- state commerce act. And it is now the bonst that the civil scrvice is practically in the hands of democrats. e A Possibility. Globe Demoerat, John Sherman thinks that withi years there will be a comaereial unio; @ political union, between the United Statos and Canada. A like opinion hes been ex- pressed by Davil A Wells. On general principles it is safe to say that any view onan economic question shared by an ultra pro- tectionist lilke Sherman and aradical free trader like Wells is at least plausible, Per- haps political union will have to be entered into yot to settle the fishery question satis- fuctorily to both sections. ten Go See Them at the Fair.

IS MANVEL THE MAN? 1t is Said He Will Saon Take Oharge ofthe “Q" Lines. S1. PAUL, Sept. 5.—[Secial Telegram to Tne Bee.|—A. Manvel, general manager of the Manitoba road, will shortly assume cou- trol of the Burlington. It.is understood that his resignation has been prepared and handed in and that it will be acted upon at the meet- ingof the stockholders to-morrow. General Mangger Holdrege of the B. & M., when mterviewed last night, said he had not heard of Mr. Manvel's action and did nov believe the report so far as it concerned the management of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. He asserted emphatically thut Gen- cral Manager Stone had not resigned and would not. There must be a mistake, he thought. In looking for further information a re- porter learned of the presence in the city of the railroad man who was Tiug BEes au- thority for the announcement, two weeks ago, of the coming resignation of General Manager Stone. The gentleman was found at a late hour and informed of the report of Mr. Marvel's appointment. He received the news with smilo of satisfaction, and broke fort) “Didn't T tell you so! I had not heard Mr. Marvel mentioned in connection with the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy’s manage- ment, but 1 have no reason to doubt the nclined to believe it thon, Why WAas asked. “Well, in the first place, Mr. Stone’s resig- nation was handed in to the managing direc- tors of the 'Q’ the first of the month. Of course general knowled of that fact was suppressed, and the direct- ors have been since then selecting his successor. At the time I first suw you everything pointed to General Manager Holdrege, of the B. & M., as the man who would step into Mr. Stone's place. A major ity of the managing directors were favorable 10 him, but Chairman Forbes objected, and that accounts for the selection of another man,"” “Hut 1f a_majority of the directors wore friendly to Mr. Holdrege why"—but the in- | terviewer was interrupted. “You must undorstand that in matters of this kind influence is often wore than num- Dbers. Mr, Forbes is the heaviest individual stockholdér of the ‘Q.’ He is chairman both of the full board of directors (if I remember rightly) and of the managing board. He has long been the master spirit in the manage- ment of the corporation, and you can readily see Low his col 08 would naturally defer 1o his opinions and submit to his wishes.” ‘Bt why should he object to Mr. Hold- redget” A “On, Idon't pretend to know everything,” responded the gentloman with a laugh. “‘One of his rousons was this: He did not believe it policy 10 select anyone now connected with the 'Q.’ system.

But there is o plausible explanation. Mr. Forbes, as you know, was committed to Mr. Stope’s support. The other directors ingistod on the general manager's resignation.

Mr. Stone ebjected 10 beiug being deposed, of course, and kicked agwinst the pricks vigorously. -He, from feolings of wounded vanity, may have boen oppased 10 the succession of & man he had rezarded s a subordinate who had net been in hearty sympathy with his policy towards the strikers, 1n the event of such a situation the otber diroators, who wore really committed to Mr, Holdrege, would Her services during make the conceasion to car: at issue. ¥ “What will Mr. Stone do!™ “Mr. Stone will take o trip 1o Europe, according to my information. He will not { aEain be connected with the operating de | partment of the Q. but the Forbes mfluence will probubly provide him with a comfort able berth on bis roturn from abroad. Mr | | Manvel is general manager of the Minne | apolis & Manitoba, and is regarded as_one of the ablest railroad men in the west. He was invited to take the genoral managership of the Union Pacific before that place was offered to Mr. Pottor. The Muuitoba ro fusod to accopt his resignation, and raised his salary to keep him. But its very late, ou Will have to excuse me. Good night, A THRIVING WYOMING TOWN Interesting Facts Concerning Besso- mer and Carbon County. Brssemer, Carbon County, W, T., Sept. 5. —[Special Correspondence to T Bk As T mot with quite a painful a riding a broncho, wlich will necessitate my remaining here for some time | thought I would write you another short letter, The greatest interest here is taken in the formation of a company who propose to solid ify the oil into bricks so that it myy be trans- ported in the ordinary cgrs to any point and there used for fuel or for any other purpose desired. The company is finuncinlly able, and will have an effcient superintendent who has spent two years in the il fields of southern Russia, learning all the details, and it was by his roport that this point was sclected us the seat of the operations of this company. This movenent means cheap fuel at once for the thousands Who are now compelled to pay tribute to the great coul monopolies, and thie developmonts of this pionecr organization will be watched with the keenost interest by all. Mr.Woodson of 1 ningham, Ala.,has been leet a site for a large company of iron men from Birmingham and Denver who propose to develop the 1ron interests at 13os. scmer. The company bave a paid up capital of $100,000, and will erect o large blast fur naco and other buildings suitable for the treatment aof iron ore, and will probably employ a force of from 100 to 150 men constantly. Mr. Woodson returned to Biringham esterday o make final arrangements’ for moving the company's plant to this point. Mr. Peter Ullrich, of Omaha, has just let the contract for the erection of a magnificent brick block on the corner of Fourth and Broadway. The building will be 100 by feet, two stories high. brick with stone trimmmgs and will be a credit to any ¢ Mr. Ulirich informs me that he already has a dozen chances to rent the building. Ford and Murray, of Omaha, will open a large brick yard in a few days and will run two shifts of men in order to fill contracts al- ready made. The Wyoming Tmprovement company, who owned the town site, are now erecting a large and commodious building for the gen- eral offices of the company. Mr. F. F. Shuickley, of Geneva, Neb., one of the com- pauy, is superintending the work. The Union Pacific train robbers have not been captured yet, but it is the general 1m- pression that they are still in the hills, and a dozen parties from this viemity are still out hunting them. The regular barvest excuraion of the Elk- horn, which occurs on September 11, wil no doubt, bring a rush of people 0 this point. Tickets will besold at all points east of the Missouri river, at one fare for the round trip. In closing this, my last letter from Besso- mer, T would urge upon ull that if thoy de- sire to speculate inreal estate, if they wish to open up busmess i what promises to be the futire city of the Hills, or have any de sire to better their circumstances, that they would certainly do well to investigate the extraordinary opportunities av Bessemer, Wyo. The company who own the town site are well known citizens of Nebraska. They propose to encourage manufacturers, push tne development of the country and to build up a city here at the gateway to W that shull stand as Omaha does to N and Kansas City does to the southwest, and the company, I understand, are financi able and willing to exert every effort to a complish this mest. desirabie result. Mr. V. C. Shickley, the popular ex-banker, politidian and financier of Nebraska, is the abie secretary of this great company, and would be pleased to auswer all communica- tions addressed him at Geneva. JAY Sarnes. —_— AMUSEMENTS. The front will be Perfection Attained in the Presenta- tion of Sebastopol. The managers of the Siege of Sebastopol have brought that superb exhibition as near 1o perfection in every detail as is perhaps possible to get, and the umversal verdict 18 that it is the most realistic, thrilling and beautiful production ever witnessed in this section. The scenic represcntation of the city and its fortifications of Sebastopol is grand and imposing, and gives a very faith- ful idea of the once almost impregnuble stronghold, the scene of unsurpassed valor on the part both of its defen: ders and assailants during nearly a year of almost daily bombardment and as- sauit. The movements of bodies of soldiers represonting the Russian and allied armies, anda series of performances intended to illustrate the way in _which the allies ¢ brated their victory, first demand the attel tion and arouse the interest of the audience. Gradually the scene is filled witn soldiers, so grouped as to form a most brilliant enser ble. The specialties finished, the signal f the bombardment is given by bombs dis charged from the outer fortifications, which are immediately replied to by the war vessels of the allies. ‘The great conflict that is to de- termine the fate of Sebastopol has bogun in earnest, and the least impressi- ble auditor cannot but be thrilled by the fierceness of the mimic battle. The booming cannon, the bursting bombs, the exploding magazines sending out angry flames, the sharp crack of musketry, the cheers of the soldiers as they rush to the assault, the hand- to-hand confficts, the burning ' city, crumbling walls, the Russian retreat and the finul shout of victory—all this preseuts a maguificent and_realistic picture most inter- esting and thrilling. Phe exhibition cou cludes with @ display of such superb fire- works @s only Pam & Sons can present. There are novel features nightly, and allthat the programmes promise is faithfully ear- ried out. No visitor to Omaha this weck should fail to see the Siege of Sepastopol.” —————— SHORT IN HIS STAMPS, A Postmaster Charzed With priating Uncle Sam's F A suit has been begun iu the United States court in which the United States is the plain- 1Y, and Russcll W.
