MAYNE having stepped grace- fully down and out of the board of public works, there is no longer a doubt as to /¢ »the vacancy. It remains to be scen now whether the choice of the mayor will receive the approval of a majority of the council. WueN Cal Brice was approached by the hungry Illinois democrats for a slice of Cleveland’s ten thousand dollar ple, he winked his loft eye and took the next train for New York, where the money will be disbursed where it will do the most good. Tae people of Omaha will have no objection to the motor system so long as it is not combined with the overhead electric wire system. Danger on the track and overhead at the same time has been found to be too much of a good thing in rapid transportation. THE trunk lines are already begin- ning to experionce a scarcity of cars to carry the rapidly increasing tonnage of the season. The business inw Chicago for the first week of September was the heaviest of any week in the year. This means to the railroads a heavy local traffic, which, to a great measure, off- sets their losses on through business due to the slashing of through rates in their wars. THE department of agricnlture has fust finished an interesting table show- Ing the probable yield in the corn crop of the eleven principal corn states as compared with the returns of 1887, In the list of corn producing statos Ne- s braska ranks fifth with an estimated ' yield of one hundred and forty millions ~ bushels as compared with ninety-three millions bushels in 1887. The condition of the crop, estimated atthirty bushels per acre, islikewise much better than that of last year, when the average yield was twenty-twobushels. Without & doubt the present corn crop will reach high water mar! ‘WiTH a few more weeks of the con- ssional session hall the members of e senate will not. be on speaking torms with the other hall. Senators Voorhees and Ingalls now have to ba fatroduced to ench other. Hipple, Mitchell and Morgan no longer look for the strawberry marks on-each others arm. Brother Blair, of New Hamp- shire, and Butler, of South Carolina, are strangers as they puss by and now Senators Hoar and Payne have been abusing onch other like pickpockets in debate. The courtesy of the senate has ‘become very much like the preliminary hand shake of the prize ring. — ‘WueN the Union Pacific operated 1ts old bridge across the Missouri river a ear or two ago, its toll for carrying a * horse, wegon and driver in the Swobe vestibule car from Omaha to the Broad- way depot was twenty-five cents, When, however, the new bridge was opened to ‘the public, the company made a new bridge toll. Thirty-five conts is the rate now charged for carrying a horse, wagon *fi and driver from Omaha to the Broad- way depot, while twenty-five cents are ® exacted for the privilege of driving ~ aoross that part of the structure alleged to be used for the crossing of teams. Why ten cents more should be charged this year on the railway “terry” than was deemed reasonable and remunerative two years ago isa mystery which Mr. Charles Francis Adams alone is able toexplain. Is it ble that the bombastio threats ot Nebraska railroad commission, made before every nominating conven- , to reduce local rates, are responsi- _ ble for this inter-state raise?

Civility and ordinary politenoss, not Uy ward the public. The average office- holder appears to think that the mo- ment he assumes oflicial functions it be- comes necessary that he should keep the average citizen at a certain dis tance, and impress him with the idea that there is a person of rank and au- thority which it is the duty of the eiti- zen to recognize and bow to. The ofti e- holder may abjeotly “‘crook the preg- nant hinges of the knes” to the man of political influenco and play the syco- phant to his superiors, but when he comes in conta with the plain citizen his manner s that of a sovereign rather than a ser- vant, and the more of this the plain cit- izen will stand, the larger the dose the arrogant official will administer. In order to understand how great is this abuse of official position one must have business with the departments at ‘Washington, There official arrogance and presumption naturally obtain their highest development. The indiyidual who has been transplanted from a coun- try town to the national capital and given a place on the government pay roll speedily manifests an astonishing growth of self-importance. In a very little while he gets to feel that he a factor in the affairs and life of a great government, and that ordinary people with ordi- nary duties and responsibilities are not worth concerning himself about. It may be a good deal of a struggle with him to make ends meet, but this does not interfere with his conscious superi- ority over those who are obviously prosperous and happy, though not officeholders. It is perhaps natural that men new to public duties, as are & majority of those is RN R ST under the present administration, should feel this way, and perhaps some palliation may be found for the lack of civility and politeness on the po these ofliceholders in the fact that th ara continually subjocted to a v amount of applications for information that are of n nature to severely tax the patience of the comparatively inexpori- enced. But incivility and impolite- faults that permitted to, and it would m from the civeular just issued by Commissioner Stockslager of the gen- wral land office that they had reached a development among the officials under his authority which demanded sum- mary ment. He informs the em- lund office that it is the citizen to go to the ac- its of the govornment for information, and thut it is the duty of such employes, as public serv- ants, to give o overy citizen secking information “*polite, pationt und consid- erate treatment.” This has the rule « conduet with the com- missioner himself, and having found it to be a good rule, neither impairing his usefulness nor retarding him in the proper performance of his duties, he properly intends to require its oh- servanee of all under his authority. of noss if tred desived been The ion of the commissioner in this matter 1s novel, but not therefore the less commendable. It attests the urgent necessity of veform in this di- and if it should prove to be w wholesome example, as it should do, Mr. Stock will have gained the right to be regarded ns one of the most useful peactical reformers undor the present administration. At all events the thousunds of plain people who have business with the land office will have renson to gratefully vemembor him. New Fort Omaha Bi The bids for o site for Omah booa opened by the sec tary of 1d will be found in detail clsewhere in our dispatches. noted that they cover propc e all siz of sites within the limitations called for by the department, and vary on, rger the new Fort in price from sixty to one hundred and dollars §ify acre. Thore scems to he wide latitude in the inter- pretation as to what constituted the ten- mile limit. There are proposals from Fort Calhoun on the north to Bellevue on the south, and from the er to points half way to the westorn line of Dougiss county. If the distance had been estimated from tho ceuter of Omana starting point several of the bids would doubtless have to be thrown out, The next step towards the removal of the post will be the appointment of a bourd of officers to examine and report upon the varvious sites offered. This board will pr mably be selected by the secretary of war, and de- t will in all likelihood be made from the engineer corps of the army. This will be the work of some time. In deciding upon what is the most available site from wmmnong the many offered, the board will take into cousideration the topographical features of the land; its advantages in the w of ready drminage; the sater-supply, and its accessibility to adjacont rail- roads. Other things being equal, it is to be presumed that the site which combines the most of these advantages, with reasonableness in price, will be chosen, . Meantime the varvious bidders will do well to possess their souls in patience. Avmy red-tape unrolls slowly, and it is scarcely probable that the various re- ports and endorsements will reach the secrotary of war for anumberof months tocome. When final action has been taken by the war office, the question of titles will have to be passed upon. and this in itself is likely to coasume a considerable additional amount of time. Under the terms of the act the state must cede jurisdiction to the United States and action of the legislature will consequently be neces- sary. The officers at Fort Omaha are not yet making preparations to move, and do not anticipate doing so for at least eightecn months to come. If previous riences in proposed changes of mil- posts can be taken for a critevion, it willbe two or three years bofore the abandonment of the old Fort Omaha, and the removal of its garrison to the new post, for whose site bids have just been opened. Why Has it Not Appeared? Who is holding the senate commit- tee on finance b ? Por nearly six weeks the republican party has been promised a republican Dbill which will embody republican ideas on tariffl re- form., A senatorial caucus is said to have so determined. A score of repub- lican senators have corroborated the rumor. The high authority of Senator Allison has been quoted as an assurance that there will be no needless delay. Why has it not appeared? Up to a week ngo the party was given to understand that the political exi- gencies of the Maine canvass made it wise to withhold the bill. But the Maine election is over and the bill still hangs fire. Tt is said to be loaded with valua- ble republican campaign material. Why is it not touched off and the party given the benefit? Thousands of northern democratic wage workers are in revolt against the Mills bill, which is to-day the demo- cratic platform, They are opposed to 1t on account of its sectionalism. They antagonize it bocause it assails the least protected industries most vigorously and merely seratches the schedules of those which are bolstered behind exces- sive protection by tariff. They are fighting it because they believe that it is drawn more in the interest of the wage payer than the wage earner. Such men and voters are anxiously expecting and have a right to expect with anxious interest the senate’s solution of the great issue of the canvass. — RENEWED interest is awakened over the fact that the Sioux Indians of the Crow Creek and Lower Brule agencies have signed the proposed treaty with but little persuasion on the part of the commissioners.

This will give the railroads a gion and tap ‘the Amluiable anthracite coal deposits, which ‘at no distant day must be looked to for the fuel supply of Dakota und Nebraska, now supplied at groat expense from the coal fields of Penusylvania. e IT STRIKES us that the proposed buse ball match between members of the school board and city council has re- ceived too much official attention. Tt would have been a matter of indiffer- ence to the constituents of botn these hodies if a private base ball match had been arranged between individuals holding seats in the council and board of education. But when a challenge is sont and accepted and a record is made officially of o bull mateh among other proceedings of the bhoard of education the matter partakes altogether too much of trifling and lowers the respect in which the board of education ought 1o be held by the patrons of the schools, the teachers and the pupil What would be thought if the facolty of any edueational institution wer to ex- tend or aceept chail ball matches or wrestling?

Tnis year it is Clevel: and British free trade and the who! will got left,” says the Cirant Enterprise.

Mean- ile his constitnents will sce that he s re- turned to congress for another two years.” w The Hebron Journal secs the political storm gathor and predicts several ship- wrecks. “How graceful,” 1t says, “will Johin McShane sink out of sight in the polit- ical sea on the 6th of November, and he will not be alone. His little gubernatorial sloo p will be accompanied into the vortex by the dismantled and thoroughly wrecked presi- dential man-of-war of Grover Cleveland. Aud then thousands of smaller craflt will also mect the same fate.” Says the Fremont Tribune: “Republican papers throughout the state are warning the people against the democratic scheme to cap- ture the legislature in order that McShane's defeat as governor may bo softened by an ion to the United States'senate. The Tribune has no fear, whatever, that this dia- Dbolical seheme will succed, but it is just as well 1o keep republicans posted on the move- meuts of the enemy, just for the general in- terest there is in the matter.” Captain Ashby is evidently in hard lines at his Gage county home, for the Beatrice Republican remarks : The Omaha Herald gives Captain Ashby,democratic candidate for state senator, a fine send off. It is too bad that the captain should be compelled to go so far away from home to find a paper that would give him a decent compliment. But perhaps the versatile captain will console himself with the adage that a ‘prophet is not without honor save in his own country.’ " The Wayne Gazette illustrates one of the meonsistent of politics as follows: *“‘The union labor party at their convention last weok, passed by an almost unanimous vote, a resolution endorsing Attorney General Leese, and then consistently () nom- inated a fifth-rate attorney with the avowed purpose of defeating Mr., Leese, The truth of the matter is, that while they know Mr. Leese to be the man of men for this position, they would be glad to have him defeated for the siwple reason that heis a republican.” The Grand Island Independent rejoic as it should, over the defeat of Traitor Crane, and remarks: “Craue, the traitor to his constituents was supported in the district convention by all the available railroad influences, but after a long fight, defeated by J. R. Hauna, lawyer and banker, of Greeley Center. If Crane had been nomi- nated, he and his railroads would have been suowed under at the election, just as well as railroad nominations in Hall and Howard counties will be buried under an avalanche of snow." The Friend Telegraph remarks: “Now that Hon William Leese has been renomi- nated and the farmers of the state have won one of the greatest victories ever won by them, they should see to it that he is elected by as big, it not a bigger majority than any man on the ticket. The railroad corpora- tions of the state are not in it for the glory they can gt out of it, but for the high rates, and if by any means they could manage to defeat Mr. Leese, or even cut down his ma- jority, the fact would cause great rejoicing at headquarters,and would be heralded everywhere as an expression of the popular i sentiment as turning in their favor, F arm- ers who do not desire to contiziue to raise and give the railroad £%70 bushels of corn and oats to get ene hauled to market, will see to it that Lecse gets their votes next No- vember.," “Shall the rafiroads rule or the people?” inquires the Grand 1sland Independent. And then 1t goes on to say: *‘That this is the all absorbing question, really the ouly one, on which our state politics turn, is becoming more apparent every day. The late proceed- ings before and in our board of transporta- | tion, and the decision against the people in consequence of the treachery of one member of the board, prove that the raidroads, if they cannot destroy the power of the board to reduce the rates by judgments of the courts, are trying and always will try to suf- focate it under a load of technicalities, and that thoy understand the secret of changing the majorities into the minorities. It seems very easy for them to seduce one member from the path of his duty, and make him lose all his former intellect and understanding of the case., And this one member may give them all the power and control over the whole state _ they want, We need a botter board of transporta- tion, one that will not have majoritics favorable to the railroad com- panies; but we can not have it without elect- ing the very best men for state officers, e sclully a good man in the place of Law must have umendments to the law which established the board of transportation, giv- ing it full power to act and defining the way in which they have to procesd, and a law establishing maximum rates. And we ought to have an amendment to our constitution allowing the election of a board of transpor- tation iudependent of our state ofticers. These and other important laws the railroad companios, with all their undue influence, willoppose, nnd they ure opposing them now, a8 thoy have done for more than a year, by working hard to elect offic and mombe: of the legisluture who will work and vote according to their order, whiio the orders of the coustitnents will be dislodged. This great question, whother the rail- roads shall again succeed in getting con trol of the state power, to the sup- pression of the people, is the only main ques- tion to be decided in this fall's election, and it is wore than ever necessary that our voters have their eyes open and never give their vote to man whose independence is not fully boyond all doubt. No prom’ses, no pledies, no friendships ought to be cared for. Inti- mate knowledge of a man’s character and the full conviction that ne will do his full duty towards the people is necossary. And this great question has nothing at all to do with the two old partios, the republican and democratic. Neither of them has entiroly clean hands, and both of them contain some good men. The voters ought to carefully pick out the men who can by trusted, without any re- gard to thewr party relations. We have been deceived too often, and the preparations for new deceptions are in full blast. Thurston, the bead und front of the railroad company, is doing his best to blind the people, and the railroad tools are busy recommending the old railroad workers, the Church Howes, the Russels, the Cranes, the Wilhclnsens, the John Meanses aud Hayden Strongs. They want the voters to smile on the men, who n will smile on the railroads, so that e railroad interests may fiourish und the people once more be de 4, us they last week were deceived in Lincoln.” The Postmaster Must rn His Salary.

If Brice makes any fight in the western states 1t will only be m the nature of a feint. His real struggle is to add New York to the solid south by means of the slum vote of New York City and the practical cousolida- tion of the eastern corporate monopoly inter- ests to keep the rule of the country away from the west. The republican hope is that outside of the Gould-Hrice class, with its motto of “The pubiic be d—d,” outside of the slum voters of the metropolis, outside of the “Northern men with southern princi- ples,” enough votes can be had to save the state of New York. e —— POLITICAL POINTS. Itis said that Senator Hoar's nephew, Sherman Hoar, will run for congress this full on u democratic ticket. No wonder the senator 50 bitterly hates a party that seduces his own blood. jovernor Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, is a typical democrat, and sbould be placed at the head of his party. He has not read a book for fifteen years, and reads the news- papers only when he cannot avoid it. Hon. Thomas Music is the republican cundidate for congress in_the Eleventh Mis- souri district, and Hon. Odon Guitar is not only pulling every string, but makin speeches for him. Who says there isu't har- mony in the republican ranks Jehu Baker, who has been renominated for congress in the Illinois district in which he defeated Colonel Morrison, 1s the author of an anotated edition of Montesquieu’s “Grandeur of the Romans.” He is also, like Jlu\l;;u Thurman himself, a lawyer by profes- sion. Secretary Bayard is smd to b tho only member of the cabinet who has not contrib- uted to Cal Brice's corruption fund. Mr. Bayard probably considers the wreck of his reputation more than @ stand-oft agaiugt the fun he has had as a member of Mr. Cleve- land’s reform cabinet. Adam Forepaugh, it is reported, will soon take the stump for Cleveland and Thurman. The regular circus season is nearly over, but Mr. Forepaugh is so infatuated with the smell of the sawdust that he is willing to travel even with & small side-show and dis- tribute peanuts and pink lemonade. Congressman Scott, the assistant manager of the democratic campaign and head of the oppressive Pinnsylvania coal combination, 15 spoken of by the democratic New York Sun as “the pet of the present administra- tion,” while the democratic New York World declares that he is “‘the most powerful mun in Washi n to-day,” and ‘‘the whole cabi- net rolled in one does not have the same in- fluence with the president.” Bayne of Pennsylvauia as- um%dnn’- proposed rotaliation against Canada was nothing more than a sch f Scott to jure the A mmm.é,l is & mv;flawholdnr in the Canadian Pacifio, and his idea is to cstabe lish through Continen*al line from Halifax | 10 Orogon.

Proctor very well,” said a Kan- sas City gentleman yesterday. *‘I first met him at St. Joseph. He was one of the most egotistical men I ever saw and he displayed his egotism both in man- ner and conversation. He never be- came in any manner, an American, He was an Englishman of the most staid and reserved type. “I well remember one display of Proctor’s egotism.” continued the aker. ‘In the course of a conversa- tion with him on one occasion he told me that the common people of England were given to fawning before people of high renown and the nobility. ‘I am much annoyed myself,’ said the great astronomer, ‘with their toadyism. *During Mr. Burnes’ second race for congress and after Burnes had con- cluded a speech at Tootle’s opera house in St. Joseph Proctor was called upon to speak, as it had been rumored about that he has democratic inclinations.

Mr. J. D, Hughes has returned from a ranch in Saunders county m which he is {ne terested, He brings glowing accounts of the crops and of the bright prospects throughout that section of the country. The ranch consists of 3,000 acres, of which nearly fifteen hundred acres are under fence. About three hundred acres were planted to corn, which will average sixty bushels to the acre, and some portions of the field will yield eighty bushels to the acre. The oats and wheat'crop will also be very heavy, The ranch is well stocked with horses, cattle and hogs. Mr. Hughes says that the Omaha packing houses have greatly enhanced the the value of farms in Saunders county by creating a good market for stock; that if & farmer can get 5 cents for his hogs and cattle he makes a satisfactory profit, and that price is now being paid in his scction. Be- fore the establishment of the Omaha stocly yards they were glad toget 2 and 3 cents, He says that the entire state is receivin proportionate benefits from the Omaha stoc! market, Two Crooks in Jail.
