Tue passage of the county seat bill in the legislature will make the carting of county seats from one rival town to an- other an uphill job THE throne of Servia goes begging for a trusty occupant while Paul Van- derbum chases a delusive hope and a spotted record in Washington, It js doubtful if South Omaha will recognize her charter when it comes out of the legislative mill. The giant young suburb is likely to secure a misfit. Briour, bracing spring weather gives vigor and elasticity to the move- ment of Omahans. Two confidential bill collectors jumped the town yester- day. DEMOCRATIC officeholders dread Pres- fdent Harrison’s habit of walking. Thoy naturally fear he will induce them to take a walk for the the good of their health. THe slow-going metropolis of -the Kaw is to be placed on an equal footing with Omaha in the matter of fast trains to Chicago. Kansas City is gradually catching on THE probabilities are that ex-Gover- nor Furnas will be United States commissioner of public lands. That will compensate him for the effort made to get into the cabinet. EVERY interest seeking legislative advantages and benefits in Lincoln is well represented on the floor and 1n the lobby. The taxpayers, as usual, are in a hopeless minority. A STAMPEDE of democrats from the department buildings is going on in ‘Washington. Four years in the saddle @id not sufiiciently harden their joints Qo endure the republican boot. As AN informer Mr. Morrissey has shown himself to be a failure, notwith- standing he had the advantage of being chief prosecutor and prosceuting wit Bess in a closed-door investigation. WHEN William Walter Phelps goes to Germany to confer with Bismarck over the Samoan complication he had better brush his bhair straight back from the forehead. Prince Bismarck docs not like bangs.

Bome movement is necessary to give a temporary semblance of life to the ceme- tery of buried booms. / E—— Lookour for the legislative manual grab. At the last legislature fifteen hundred dollars, a clear printing steal of over twelve hundred dollars, was smuggled through for the publication of the manual in the rush of appropria- tion lls, — PAT FORrD is very much exercised over a star-chamber session held by members of the council over Mayor Broateh’s hardware store. Pat was in- vited, but he indignantly declined. Ho never attends a star-chamber coun- cil conference unless it is held in a re- sort where there is plenty of beer and whiskey to go round. —— THE movement of the Union Pacific to consolidate all branch lines center- ing at Ogden under a separate corpora- tion is an indication that the company bas not much faith in the final passage of the government eéxtension bill, The evident intention is to strip the main ‘line of all feeders, and when the time comes for the mortgagees 1o take the road, they will find it a profitless ruin, e———r— AN APPROPRIATION of sixty vhousand dollars for Forts Robinson and Niobrura was passed by congress in the last hours of the session. These sums will be smple for all needed improvements at thoso points. 8o long as the Sioux In- diau reservations exist it is judicious for the government to maintain theso posts for the protection of she farmers of northern Nebraskaand southern Dakota sgainst the depredationsof horse thieves and marauders. PROMISED LANDS. The provision made among the last acts of the Fiftieth congress, and ap- proved by the president, for the open- ing of Oklahomaand the Sioux reser tion, was only second in importance to the law providing for the admission of four new states. The proposition to cre- ate a territory of Oklahoma and estab- lish a territorial government failed, but the provision inserted in the Indian appropriation bill covers nearly eve: thing else that the original measure ught. It empowers the president by proclamation to throw open to settle- ment what are known as the Oklahoma lands in Indian Territory, and also the Seminoie lands, comprising about four thousand square miles. The Cherokee outlet, lyfng north of Oklahoma and be- tween that steip of count is not to be opened, but prov made for negotiation with the Cherokecs for the relinquishmentof this tract, and its purchase can doubtiess he affected. It is believed that when the Oklahoma lands are opened they will be taken up %0 rapidly that by the time congress meets again it will be found desirable to provide a territoriai government. The bill for opening the Sioux reservation is not essentially dif- ferent from that . passed last year, except that it increns tho amount to be paid the Indians for their lands. It requires their consent, to be obtained under the forms required by treaty, sothat the same course will have to be pursued as that gone through last year. The better price offered for the nds, however, and the fact that the Indians have learned that it is the determination of the people to open the lands on fair terms, are expected to induce them to aceept the new proposition. The promise is that before the close of the year about twenty million acrosof excellont land will be ready for settlement in Dakota and Indian Territory. AN OBNOXIOUS ORDIN ANCE. The passage of the ordinance to liconse wagons used for the delivery of bread or bakery products manufactured outside of the city limits for the pur- pose of excluding the competition of Council Bluffs and South Omaha bakers is a species of sumptuary legislation which will do more harm to Omaha than good. If the Omaha bakers nced protection against the Council Bluffs bakers, and the council of this eity is short-sighted enough to grant it, what is to prevent the grocerymen, the mar- ket gardeuners, the laundries or the butchers of Omaha demanding of the council similar protection against the competition of the merchants of our suburban cities? The truth of the mat- ter is, however, that the bakers and the butchersof Omahaare sharp competitors for trade in Council Bluffs. It would be not at all surprising if the council of that city would retaliate by order- ing them off the streets, in view of the unfriendly ordinances in Omaha. Legislation to protect home industries in the manner proposed by the Omaha bakers is consequently at variance with common sense aud business principles. The buildingof the wagon bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs was for the sole purpose of mak ing the interchange of business between the two cites ds froe as possible. The growth and importance of Omaha depends upon the close rela- tionship and unrestricted trade between itself and every city, town and village in the country which finds it profiitable to buy and sell within her gates. inexplicable therefore that the very men who assisted in the “marriage” be- tween Omaha and Council Blufs should now try to divorce their relations by discrimination. It may well be quos- tioned moreover if such a tax on Coun- cil Bluffs bakers would stand the test of law. Itclearly operates as duty on av- ticles exported from one state to an- other and therefore uncoustitutional. It behooves Mayor Broatch to veto the obnoxious ordinance, and the council should never again lend its aid to pass such an unwarranted and discriminat- ing measure. A WARNING, In various ways the fact is continu- ally cropping out that there isa good deal of distrust in the east respecting western farm mortgages. In the last issue of a publication of a weil known commercial agency the president of an eastern trust company is quoted as pr dicting a big panic in these securities within the next five years. In most of the eastern states logislation 1s con- templated for restricting the employ- ment of savings bank deposits in this class of investment, while notably in Mussachusetts it is proposed to provide state supervision for trust companies having their headquarters in that state, and handling the money of its people chiefly in western investments, There has undoubtedly been a great deal of more or less loose and careless fiuanciering by these companies which may give adegree of justification to the demand for a closer supervision of their business, but the main purpose is re- strictive, the fact being that the drain made by the trust compaunies has made it difficult for other monetary concerns to hold their own agninst the competi- tion. It will not do to put en- tire faith in the idea that this is a matter which will speedily settle itself. Investigation will unquestiona- bly prove that there have been no safer and more profitable investments than western farm mortgages, but those who ard compelled by the facts to admit this still claim that within a few years the business has been groatly overdone and thut the time is come to restrict it, if a practicable way can be found to doso. There is a very powerful influence be- hind this view. The warning conveyed is against inju- dicious legislation affecting invest- ments and against represcntations which depreciste the condition of the western farming interest. Nothing is wmore sensitive than capital, Extremely slow in acquiring confidence, it is quick tolose it. The west reauires capital, and it cannot afford to do anything to drive it away, Its people should pro- tect themselves against usury and undue exactions, but there should be no obsta- cles in the way of capital that seeks in- vestmout here on faiv terms. It is not questionable that Nebraska has been financially damaged by the law that shuts out foreign capital from invest- ments involving real estate. It cannot be doubted that such statements as have recently gone abroad regarding the condition of the farming interest of the state will do harm in supplying just the sort of argument wanted by those in the east who ave predicting disaster from investments in western farm mortgages, It ought to be obvious to ail intelligent people that we cannot continue ina course of this kind without doing irre- parable damage to our material wel- fare. MALTREATING THE PAUPERS. The disclosures which have recently been made by credible witnegses con- cerning the treatment of the inmates at the county hospital and poor farm cannot fail to create profound indigna- tion in this community, The charges ave not trumped up for political ends or out of personal spite. They emanate from parties that have no feeling against the superintendent or the matron of that institution. While it is true that the inquiry was brought about by the repbrt which orviginated with a servant girl at work at the hospital, great care was taken to corroborate the stovies of cruelty and maltre atment. While the fucts presented by our re- porters warrant a demand for an imme- diate change in management, they are by no means the only evidence that the poor farm management is radically wrong. The chapter of maltreatment and neg- leet of invalid inmates. which we pub- lish, touches the inhumanity of the matron. Testimony now in our posses- sion warrants us in charging systematie fraud and peculation in the handling of supplies and materials purchased by Superintendent Mahoney for the use of the county hospital and farm., These reports will be given to the public within a few days. INDECENT PARTISANSHIDP, The last national campnign was marked for its exceptional freedom from nabusive personalities. The in- stances were rare on either side when individuals were assailed, and these geuerally encountered a prompt popu- lar rebuke. It was a very general hope that this departure from the long dis- reputable way of carrying on a political campaign was the beginuing of a new ovder of things in the treatment of public men which would be permanent. It was welcomed as an assurance that the people had returned to n sense of decency and dignity, and that finding such change much more agreeable to themselves and much more croditable in the eyes of the world, it would be adhered to, and we believo the people so desire. The constraint, however, which such a condition placed upon a portion of the democratic press was borne with great difficulty, and now that the new administeation has taken charge of the affairs of government, these organs of democracy feel once more free to pursue tneir wonted course. The vice president, the secretary of state and the secretary of the treasury are spec- inl objects of their attack, though other members of the cabinot ave not wholly iguored. Mr. Morton, we ave told by one of these journals which may have some other than a partisan motive for assailing the vice president, has bought his way into publie life, and there is presented an exhibit of his es- timated expenditures for political pur- poses during the last twenty years, If true, it can certainly be said of him ¢ no man has been more generous in fu thering the principles of the republi- can party. As to Mr. Blaine there is necessarily more or less a cehash of the charges with which the country was made nauseatingly familiar during the campaign of 1884, and which can now serve no possible purpose except to em- phasize partisan malignancy. With re- gard to Mr. Windom it is sought to de- preciate him in publie respectand con- fidence by alleging that for years he has been only a financial adventuve ready to take hold of any scheme that presented itsol, and implyingthat what- ever he has accomplished asa financie has been through floating jobs, questionable and otherwi This despicable sort of which must be condemned by democrats, can have but a brief season, but it suggests what may be expected from a portion of the democratic press during the whole course of the present administration. There will be no op- portunity lost to assail the men who are i control of the governm:ut, and no considerations of justice, fairness or de- y will have any weight. The ad- ministration, it cannot be doubted, will suffer nothing from this. It will do its and there is every reason to be- lieve it will be done wisely and with a tant concern for the general wol- But reckless denunciation of the ants of the people is to a greater or xtent a reflection upon the charac whole people, and we lose in cording to warfare, all decent loss tar of the the respect of the world a the measure of the virulence of such de- nunciation., No consideration of this character, however, will deter the dem- ocratic newspapers which have already entered upon a crusade of detraction and abuse from continuing that policy. It is the only political capital availabie to them. and they promise to use ‘it without stint, — MAYOR GRANT, of New York City, is cultivating a double-jointed, three-ply backbone. A few days ago he secured the passage of an order that all wireson Broadway should be taken down and the poles removed within thirty days. The order was suppiemented by a warning that “thirty days means thirty days.” If Omaha could secure & small fragment of that backbone for exhibi- tion in the council chamber it would have a tendency to limit the extension of pole lives. E——— Tue board of education does not stop to congider expense when an addition to the professional bric-a-brac of the high school is needed, but when the health and lives of children in some of the schools are in danger, a spasm of economy and retrenchment is visible, The Hartmaa snd Leavenworth schools “nes are in a deplorable condition. The an- nexes of the former sway with every breeze, compelling the teachers to ro- move the childeen for safety, while the basement rooms are conceded to be foul and unfit foroccupancy. The surround- ings of the Lisavenworth school are oqualiy disereditable. The grade of the streets endanger the foundation, and no effort hds been made to wall the bank and protect the front of the build- ing, which is within a few feot of the bank. A fefr hundred dollars spent in improving these buildings would be groater bencfit-to education than thou- nds squandered in the short hand system of music. of South interests growing with a rapidity Tue packing Omaha are that few people realize. The trade in dressed meat has grown to such propor- tion that additions to buildings and machinery are necessary to supply the demand. Th demand extends from British Columbia to the Gulf of Mexico. The people of the south are generous patrons of Omaha products, and trade in that direction is growing at a cheer- ful rate. Idaho, Oregon and Washing- ton territory consume several car londs each week, while Nebraska and adjoin- ing states and territories supply the raw material and take the dressed and in- cured product in exchange. The dustry is on a solid foundation, ma ged by energetic, expert business men, and 1ts future is as secure as the eter- nal hills, STAR-CITAMBER meetings are not pop- ular and very seldom justifiable. But we can see no impropriety in a private conference of councilmen and city officials to talk over informally measures or projects that are likely to draw disagreeable personal controvers; engender enmities when conducted in public. [t often happens that men in pubtic life are erippled in their private business affairs by reason of an outspoken expression concerning parties and their projec essavily require o compr before finul action s decidod on private conference tends to throw light on a project without subjecting men to ind animosity, Theve s amarked difference between a stir- chamber session of the council, as such, and a private and unoflicial conference of councilmen. » which nee- needless censure TiiE alarming veports of a shortage in the wheat erop of Dakota, vecently tele- graphed over the country, were based on grroneous statistics, The monthly veport of Territorial Statistician Shevi- dan for March shows that fully 3 cent of the crop of 1588 remains in hands of the 'fivmers, while the vators of the tepritory are well fill most of which will be held for The only ground for the veport shor area will be largely increased this year. and will vequite eleven million bushels for seed.

With three woman suffrage bills thrown into the waste basket, it is Lo be hoped that the suffragists will give the preseat legiala- ture & much needed rest.—Tue Bee. Why, Mr. Editor, that 1s the very veason they should not have rest. Of what possible use to the women of Ne- braska are three bills in the waste bas- ket? The only way the members of your logislature can onjoy the “needed rest” you seom to think their arduous dutios require, is to take these bills out of the waste baskot and act on them in a cour- ageous manner, by securing to thoir mothers, wives and daughters all the civil and political rights they them- selves onjoy. From your words of sympathy it must be a very solemn and faithgiving opera- tion to throw bills into the waste bas ket, as great a tax on the physical strength as on chivalry of the per- former. How lost to all the tender sen- timents of the human soul must those gentlemen have been who voted those unlionored documents to such obseurity. Only think ot the lily fingers that prepared these rose scented bills, of ail the fond hopes bound up in these logical, yet tender missives, of the eloquent ap: peals of Mrs. ¢ - and Mrs. Coll echoed from day y within the wi of your capitol; think of the soft blue oyes, moist with tenrs,that watched the pe ge of those bills through the house and senate to tl mausoleum of human rights, the le ive waste- basket. 1 wonder how many members acted as pall bearers at the obsequies of the slaughtered innocents. It 1s tobe hoped they lowered them tenderly into their resting place and dropped a tear over the fate of the vnfortunate trinity, and sent theiv letters of condolence brond- cast to the mourning daughuers of Ne- braska.

The animus of the gatherings was in _ sympathy with the utterances of Saint Paul on self control, and it will be the ondeayor of the dean to teach self abne- gation and government. “Of course,” said he, “the field of Lent furnishes rest from worldly pursuits and calm_contemplation of the inner man, and brief as these fifteen min- ute services will be, T hopo that they will _at least be colored by the season of Lent. The mectings will begin promptly at five mioutes after 12 and close at twenty minutes aff that hour.” So muct intercst was apparent tuat it has been determined to place 100 chuirs in_the room. The gatherings will occur daily. “to-duy. WASHINGTON INDIGNANT, The Disgraceful Co sylvania Militia Denounced March 7 Special Talee 'he railroads are begin: ning to regain control of their schodules, and trains are again running on their regular time, The crowds are being well handled, and there is a very noticoable decroase in tha thousands who have been marching up and down the principal thoroughtares. It is al most impossible to imagine, to-day, with the Dbright sun shining overhead, and the brisk wind filling one's eyes with dost, that two days ago the avenue was one wide river of mud, and there is on all hands a fooling of pity that to-day and Monday could not have been interchanged. Most of the soldiers have gone, and it must be confessed that it is arclief. The Pennsylvania soldiers have, it possible, exceoded the disgraceful record they made four years ago, and there 18}a very gon- eral foehing e night that four years from now. whoen the invitations aro sent out to the militia foroes all over the country to partici- pate in the inaufuration parade, the state ot Pennsyivania will be omitted. The troops from the other states, noticebly New York and Maryland, won high praise from all sides for their gentlemanly behavior, but the men from Pennsylvania seemed rather like a horde of undisciplined free lances than a body of soldiers. The civic or, izatio have about ail left town and the d rations are nearly ail down and the stands avo rapidly disappearing. By Saturday the ity will as. sume its usual look. The white house, of course, is still the sceno of attraction, an all day long crowds are on all the approach toit. There has been some harsh criticism at tho apparently unnecessary arbitrary ac- tion of the police who form a perfect cordon all around the white house grouunds, but a minute's stay in the crowd will show the ab- solute necessity for the police. Last night the long delayed fireworks were sent off, and the grounds of the executive mausion was crowded with peopl The stairs at the south front of the treasury, and the contin- guous stund, would have formed a magnifi- cent place from yhich to view the pyrotech nies, but for some unkuown reason a fence uet of the Penne Wasmivaros, gram to Tue Bee, | has been e ed ull around that end of the tre: and no one has been e to go tnere. Tho pension building was again open last night, at a groatly redicod prico, so that strangers who did not care to pay & for a ticket on Monday night could see all the decora- tions aud hear the selfsame music. It w icula’iy an inaugural ball without the president. * The hotel men are jubilant, they have made thousands upon thousunds, and it is only fair to say that tne accommoda- tions huve been all that could be reasonably expeoted. The guests at the hotels have re- ceived as good treatment as did those at S Louis and Chicago, and there is s a matter of fact very little’ grumbling. Next to the hotel keepers the cabmen have amassed for- tunes, and onc of them on the night of the inauglra 1 said that up to mid- night every eab he owned had brought him $i7, with the end of the inaugural ball yet to come. Outsido Pennsylvania soldiers disorder, and though 00 and four deep morning, ¢ noti the brutalities of the there has been little the bars have been lined th almost coutinually since Saturd drunkenness has not beon cape able. The streets at all times huve been filled with lad and in most cases they have found it unnecessary to have escorts. Taking the inauguration us a whole the crowds kave been exceedingly well behaved and decent, aud with the exception of the Pennsylvania troops, the city will be glad to welcome them again four years hence. It is understood that'an effort will be made by the people of Washington to in some way call the atteution of the governor of Pennsylva- nia, as commander-in-chief of the Pennsyl- vania wilitia, to the ou us conduct of Ius men during their stay while enjoying the hospitality of the city. - Gould is the Prosecutor. New Yok, March 7.—[Special Telegram to Tuk Bl —day Gould is the man who is said to be behind the prosecution of Ives and Stayner for their connection with the Cincin- nati, Hamilton & Dayton railroad deal. This fact 18 made clear by the statements of a prominent stockholder and Ives' counsel. They throw a good dea! of new light on the tralisaction, and seem to prove that the pres- ent prosecution is an offort of some people counected with the original deal w0 now reap what Ives and Stayner lost. —_——— AN EX.-FENIAN ST "LES.
