BOULANGER also agrees that mar- ringe 1sa failure. He is about to obtain a divorce. THE republicans of the Eighth ward cannot afford to nominate a man of steaw. Jim Stephenson is u rustler. LORD SACKVILLE WEST has sailed away to his bleak Briton home. But Mr. Murchison continues to breath the balmy air of suuny California T 18 significant that business men of high standing are willing to servo for councilmen. The only question i whother they can bo nominated at the primarics. Mg. BECHEL announces himself as a candidate for re-election. 1t is for the republicans of the Fourth ward to say at the primary, which oceurs between noon and 7 p. m. to-morrow, whether they desire Mr. Bechel to represent them for another term —— ENGLAND has ordered the construc- tion of eight more ships like the Ad- miral Benbow. It is rough upon the taxpayers, and it will not prevent the battie of Dorking from being fought as soon as the Germans have seized Hol- land and Luxembourg. LVERY taxpayer should arouse him- self sufficiently to attend the primary elections. If the decent and respecta- ble element remaius indifferent, the roustabouts will carry the day, and we will have another year of turmoil and boodling in the council. p—— PARrTIES who intend to vote at the vrimary elections should bear in mind that under the law any voter may be challenged and compelled under oath to testify as to his right to vote at the respective voting places. The law punishes fraudulent voting at the pri- maries just the samo as it does at a gen- election. GOVERNOR LArrABEE of Towa does not propose to allow federal officers who are evieting the unfortunate settlers on the Des Moines river land company’s lands to overstep the bounds of their authority. The governor has instrueted the connty attorney to satisly himsell in every instance of eviction that none but legal measures are vesorted to by the United States marshal and his dep- uties. Governor Larrabeo has properl shown a regard to protect these set- His instructions will have a sal- effeet in restraining the federal s from harsh and illegal actions, and the people of Towa will not forget their governor in consequence. THE eastern trunk lines now despor- awly catting each others throats ane gaid to be preparing o petition to con” gress to amend the inter-state law so as to allow pooling. But if such a peti- tion be sent to the house congress will be gently reminded that the law against pooling was passed for the protection of the people and not for the protection of onerailrond against another. Rate wars, however, were as common in the duys of pooling as at presont, The truth of the matter is, that autocratic and am- bitious managers are to blame for the unsettled state of the transportation question. So long as stockholders play blindly 1nto the handsof their directors they have nobody but themselves to blame if dividends are cut down and things go to smash., e—— Tur Sioux Indian commission will in all probability advocate radical meas- ures in its forthcoming report to the i terior department touching on the open- fng of the reservations in Dakota, The report will recommend that a law be passed fixing the price of the land so as to conform with the propositions of the Indians themselves, This would re- move all excuse for delaying the nego- tiations on the part of the Indians, But the more radical changes proposed are the immediate removal of all squaw men from the reservations; and the purpose of making the Indian more self sustain- ing and held strictly uccountable for his actions. The plan of coddling and humoring the Indian has made a spoiled child of him, It 18 certainly high time that the Indian was made to feel that there is more responsibility in life than liviug on the bounty of an indulgent guvernweut, A RAILROAD VICTORY. The Northern Pacific railroad has now a victory, in the opinion just sub- mitted by the atlorney general of the United States regarding the claim to second indemnity belt, which amounts to a very sorious defeat for hundreds of sottlers who will now be at the morey of that corporation. When last year the secretary of the interior promul- gated his decision regarding the with- drawal of indemnity lands, the North- Pacific presented its claim to a second indemnity belt, under the joint resolution of May. 1880, and also urged its right to take indemnity in one state for the losses lands The acting secre- ern or territory of in anothor. tary of the treasury adversely to both these id the opinion bei vious construction of the joint resolution and the granting act, the corporation asked a rehearing. The then seeretary of the interior, Lamar, took the matter under advisement, but s he was soon after to leave the depart- ment he submitted to the attorney gen- eral the questions involved. The opinion of that official was sub- mitted turday, having been with- held sinco last January at the request of Sccretary Vilas, for what reason may be surmised, It goes the full length in favor of the corporation, holding that the joint resolution of May, 1880, did create a second indemnity beit in Minnesota, and that it 15 the right of the Northern Pacific to take in- demnity in one state or territory for the losses of lands in another, It isinevita- ble. if this opinion becomes the basis of action by the department, that the result must be more or less hardship toa great many settlers who took advantage of the department’s decision last year r ing withdrawn indemnity lands, who may be dispossessed of their lands or mercilessly muleted by the railroad. 1f the opinion of the attorney general be correct, and it is understood to conform to previous construction, then a most grave error was committed by the 1n- terior department which,in the interest of public justice the government should rectify, so far as that can be done. The innocent settlers who' occupy the lands which the railroad will have the right to claim, having taken them up with the full warrant of the government, will be entitled to redress, but unfortu- nately theve is shght chance of their getting it, if past experienco in such matters shall be repeated. Is there not an obvious suggestion of political juggling in this whole busi- ness, in utter disrogard of the interests of the people? It is said that when Lamar took the matter for a re-heaving he was inclined to favor the construc- tion that had prevailed for several years, and is now renewed, but at that time the administeation was playing the public land question for poli tical effect, and Mr. Lamar found it convenient, on the ground that he was soon to retire from the interior depart- ment, to refer the matter to the attor- ney gefieral. That official had his opinion ready by the middle of last January, but at the request of the present secretary of the interior it was withheld until now, evidently because it was folt that it would be damaging to the party in power. Meanwhile the lands which it surrendered to the rail- road wero being taken up by settlers, who, confiding in the assurance of a de- partment of the government, paid no attention to the notices of the corpora- tion that they were invaders of ter- ritory set apart to be claimed at the pleasure of the corporation. How much of hardship and loss would have been saved to honest men, acting upon their faith in the wisdom and justice of their government, had Mr. Lamar promptly announced his opinion or Mr. Vilas promulgrated that of the attorney general as soon as it was ready. [t will be well when such political jugglers have no longer the opportunity to be- tray public confidence. decided assump- tions to the pr g contrary WAKED UP THE WRONG MEDIUM. General Experience, Estabrook has sneaked into print over the fictitious name of ‘“Veritas” to vent his spleen upon me personilly because I have opposed the location of the city halt on Jefferson square. In his cuustic diatribe, he repeats the infamous stan- der which border ruflian Hascall uttered in the council chamber the other night, namely, that T **stole five cet of ground from the city,” and suggests that the council had better make me a deed of {he stolen ground. Now, I defy the old reprobate to the proof that I or any association in which I am interested have taken pos sion of one inch of property belonging to the city or anybody e It is notorious that the city counc unaer Hascall’s vindictive inspivation, refused to allow the foundation footings of Ter BEE building to cross the line of the city hall lot eight inches, which under common usage is allowable for party walls, even when I offered tho city the free use of our west wall, It is notorious also thut Building In- spector Whitlock refused to allow us the privilege of constructing an area of three feet around the alley windows of the in THe Bee building, while he granted a permit to the New York Lifo Insurance company to use sixty-eight by fourty-four foet of Scven- tobnth street for a power house, General Estabrook is too intelligent not to know that Hascall’s charge isa downright falsehood; hence his repeti- tion of the libel is utterly inexcusable, He kuows, as everybody in this com- munity knows, that every inch of prop- erty I own has been paid for, by the proceeds of twenty-five years’ toil and industry. How isit with **Veritas?” He squatted himsell upon a whole block opposite Jefferson square without paying a dol- lar forit, and held on to it with hs twoor three shaunties for twenty odd years, to make his title good. He was too shiftless and thriftless to fence it or build & side walk in front of it, and too mean to shure the burden of taxation with other property owners and citizens., After shirking his taxes for tweuty odd years, when other people had built up Sixteenth street and made, his property valuabls, his sqo-in-law finally paid $14,000 back taxes, removed the bawdy houses ‘that the virtuous busement it o L A et 0 “Veritas" had planted there, and built the three-story flat that adorns And now this lazy old blatherskite tries to deride me before the community and says that “*Rosy’s coat-tails are too near the ground to be a successful leader of the people,” and further adds that ‘“‘his slanderous sheet has lost 1ts influence amongst respectable people in thiscity.” T concede that T do not throw as big a shadow as Old Jumbo Estabrook, but I think I have done almost as much for Omaha as he has with his three hund- ved pounds of walrus blubber. As to Trk BEE'S influence on respectablo and decent people, Lictas’ Bxperience is not in condition to expressa well-founded opinion. . 1t is hardly necessary for me to add that Estabrook’s assertion that 1 have been up in thenorthern end of the Fifth ward to pick out a man for the council, and that I have threatened to defeat any candidate who refuses to do my bid- ding, is as base a lic as is his charge about my stoaling five feet of the city hall ground. All T have done is to re- sall the rotten record of Joe Redman, the orgies of Cheeney and the sub- sorviency to the Union Pacific of Tom Daily. For thatoffense tax-paying citi- zens of the Fifth ward will havdly cen- sure me. . ROSEWATER. THE DOUGLAS COUNTY CONTEST. A free ballot and an honest count is one of the cardinal prineiples for which the republican party has always been contending. That there have been frauds perpotrated in the recent Doug- 1as county election goes without saying. The only question 18 whether an inves- tigation into these illogal methods will show beyond a reasonable doubt that the half a dozen members of the legislature from this county to whom certificates have been issued have not received a plurality of the votes cast by the legal voters. The burden of the proof necessarily rests upon the contestants. Ordinarily, contests are not consid unloss the vote is very close, or & mis- countinvolving the plurality is known to have taken place. Where the plurality exceeds several hundred votes tho con- test presents serious complications. In justice to all parties concerned it is well to await the revelations to be made when the testimony is taken and the ballot boxes have been purged of any excess of votes and the mistakes of the canvassers have been rectified by a recount before the notary two weeks hence. HONEST OLD JIM. Jim Creighton nearly dislocated his jaw at the council chamber in his abus- ive harangue about Roscwater. He was specially resentful because he has been dubbed Rotten Pavement Jim. Isn’t that name appropriate? Does not everybody kuow that he has had more to do with foisting wooden pavement upon Omaha than any other man? Isn’t the rotten pavement of upper Farnam his own How comes it that Jim Creighton didn’t lay wooden blocks in front of his own house on the corner of Fourteenth and Daven- port? He took very good care to have asphalt paving on the south side of that lot and stone on Fourteenth street. The stone block paving was only done three months ago, after ho had laid miles of cedar bloclk in front of other people’s property. But Rotten Pavement Jim need not squirm. He will be vemembered by the tax-payers he has imposed on yeurs after he has passed away, just as he is remembered by the old settlers for that one-legged wooden bridge he built across Thirteenth street creek years ago when he was a member of the couneil. WnrrLe the Chinese government has as yet given no expression to its senti- ments regarding the course pursued by the government of the United States in excluding its people from this country, there is a quiet but very effective pol- icy of commercial retaliation being car- ried on by Chinese merchants. Ameri- can merchanis who have recently re- turned to New York from Chinese ports state that it is impossible to soll American goods in any instance in which European fabrics can be used. Hevetofore quite large amounts of Ameriean elocks, machines, heavy cot- ton goods, sheeti and the like have found a market in China, but they ave no longer taken. The Chinese merchants offer no explana- tion—they simply decline to buy. American merehants can have their tea for corn, but they buy their textiles and machines where they elaim they can be better suited, There can be no diffi culty in understanding why they better suited. The trade that is thus slippiug away from us had become quite vo and was a source of good profit. In time it eould have been lavgely increased, but itis now more than probable that it will all go to our commercial rivals, who are ready to offer every inducament for it. It is not upon this plan that sagacious business nations advance their prosperity.

Proba- bly the people of Nebraska will be more interested in the display than in the literature, for we have far more induce- ments to offer to agricultural immi- grants in our own section than Califor- nia. But it is much to be desived that we could obtain Caulifornian fruit and fish, halibut and smelts and salmon and sardines from Puget Sound at first hund instead of getting them from Chicago dealors as at present.

A convention of cattle men and a commit- tee of United States senators are trying to discover at St. Louis why it is that in the last few years the prices for cattle have been declining, while at the same time the cost of dressed beef to consumers has been increas- ing. Nobody cares especially whether St. Louis or Chicago 1s the beef center of the nation, or whether Chicago stole away from St. Louis the butchering supremacy, but it is a matter of considerable importance to know whether the concentration of the dressed beef business at Chicago and the anomaly of low-priced cattle and high-priced beef is due to a ring of four or five firms, as is. charged, that has been built up by means of diserimi- nating railroad advantages and other unlaw- ful practices. It is certain that the natural laws of competition do not rule in this busi- ness, and that the people have not been get- ting the advantages accruing from declining prices of cattle, A little more light is called for on this subject, Coming. —~— PROMINENT PE RSONS. , bas a for- tune of 15,000 that he has saved from his earnings on the turf.

Third Ward, The republicans of the Third ward, to the number of twenty-five, met in the council chamber last night for the purpose of nom- inating a candidate for councilman to be voted upon at the primaries to-day. The meeting was called to order by Charley Wehcey, and Artiur Briggs was choscn chaivman with . H. Woodbridge sccretary. @ meeting was opened by Ed, Leeder, one of the aspirants for the nomination. He stated that he did not favor the system of aucussing on a candidate, but, on the con- trary, favored the nommation coming direct from the people at the primaries. He re viewed the situation, after which he retired frow thic roum, stating that he did not pro- pose to participate in the deliberations of the caucus, but would be o candidate at the pri maries.

Hur rah for Pote! Peteis a good man. Threc cheors for Pete. It is most unfortunate, my friends, that Judge Hascall is not here, but ho has becn detained elsewhere on urgent business.” C.

Sixth Ward. « The republicans of the Sixth ward had a lively caucus at tho corner of Lake and ‘Twenty-sixth streets last evening. It was a representative gathering and the absence of the friends of Councilman Manville was noticeable. His name was mentioned in the interlude, but, like angels’ visits, the *‘men tions" were few ana far between. William Morrow, chairman of the ward committec, called the meeting to order, and on_his mo tionJ. C. Wharton was 'made chairman. W. A. Grant was chosen sccrotary. An informal ballot was then agreed upon for candidate for alderman, to be voted on at to- day’s primarics. The result was as follows: W. G. Shriver, 5 101 0. C. Johnson.. 108 A. S. Ostrom. o4 Isanc Gard..... PRECRETEG The latter two withdrew, which lefi the contest between Shriver and Johnson, the vote being 145 to 108 in favor of the former. On motion of the defeated gentleman the nomination of Mr. Shriver was made unani mous. The candidate chosen by the caucus is a real estate man who “has resided in Omaha for seven years and is very well known. His frionds say that he will not only defeat the present imcumbent out of time, should he attempt to run, but any dem- ocrat that can bo put against him. After the caucus choice speeches wero in order, and Mr. Shriver seemad especially pointed in his remarks relative to prohibition, saying that he never was and never would be a prohibi- tionist. Evidently the Sixth is up and in arms, Primary Law. Section 22, of the laws of Nebraska regu Iating primary elections, reads as follow: _To regulate the holding of primary elec- tions, at which no person shail be pormitted to vote, except such person be an elector of the city, and afllliated with the political party holding such primary elcction at the last gen- eral clection: that judges at such primary elections shall be sworn, and may sdminister oaths, and that any person violating the reg ulations #o established or who being disquali- fied shall vote at such prima tion; or who shall aid, counsel or abet any disq fied person 1 Voting thercat may bo fin any sum not exceeding $100 nor less than §20 and shall stand committed till such fine and costs are paid, and shall be disqualified to vote at any city or primary election for the period of one Republican Primaries.

A very large and highly appreciative audi ence welcomed the Carleton opera company at Boyd's opera house last night, and ro- ceived with the heartiest manifestations of pleasure the first production in Omaha of “Mynheer Jan,” a comic opera that well de- serves the popularity it has achieved. Tho argument of this work has already becen given in our columns, so that it ouly re- mains to be said of it that it is a production of exceptional merit in dramatic construction and of a highly pleasing character musi- It has the rare merit of never becom ing in the least degroc tedious or tiresome, jid is the action, while it is crowded with incidents of the most humorous and en. ining character. Itis also particularly ctive to the eye with its picturesque cos- tumes, of which it can bo suid that most of them were appropriate. A strong ballet of more than ordinarily good-looking girls is a prominent feature, “The music is spirited and tuneful, several of the solos being very pretty, and, what cannot be said of all | ductions of this character, none of it suggests plagiarism. The rendition of the opera was in_the proverbially thorough and ex- cellent manner of the Carleton company, ex- Dt that several of the singers gave un doubted evidence that their voices were im paircd by colds. Nevertheless there was littlo cause for unfavorable criticism, Mr. Carleton’s Karl was well sung and acted, and made an entirely favorable impression! The audience showed especial favor to Mr 5. Taylor, who sung the part of Francis almost faultlessly, showimg a voic when in perfect condition is doubtless cap ble of admirable exceution, Mr. J, K. Muj ray ns General ombalo was vor: h out of voico but acted the part with fine offect One of the very best oporatic comedians on the stage is Mr. Charles H. Drew, > thoroughness is the result of w ifc cexperience, and who is funny from tempera ment, He'had a part admirably suited to him in Hans, the buffoon of the Daisy Guild, and of the honors of success he enjoyed bis full share. Miss Clara Laue is a very charming little woman, with a sweet so prano voice of good range and pleasant even ness, which she manages with consummate skill Her Katrine was in all respects de- lightful. Miss Alice Vieent wus the Ca milla and looked exceedingly attractive, but her singing showed the®fliction already r ferred 10 as quite general with the compan, but which a 's rest will doubtless en- tirely remove, The Donna Tralara of Miss Clara Wisdom was an imposing figure and cnjoyed much of the aitention as well as contributing to the pleasure of the audience, A feature ot to be overlooked for favorable Inention wero the evolutions of tho ballet. The orchestra was well handled, offering little occasion for criticism. Altogother, “Myaheer Jan" can be chronicled as a suc- cess in Omaha, To-night “The Queen's Lace Hundkerchief."
