With the opening of the Sioux reser- tion a valuable strip of territory, said to be the finest portion of the reservation, will become a part of Nebraska. This territory lies north of and on the Nio- brara river, and is distinctively known as the Ponea reserve. It was ceded by an act of congress in 1882 to extend the northern boundary of Nebraska, to which the assent of the state was given in that year by a bill passed at the special session of the legislature. The condition of the cession was that it should become a part of Nebraska on the extinguishment of the Indian title. The strip contains about seven hundred thousand acres of excellent land, and under the provisions of the act of con- gress for opening the Sioux reservation the Poncas will be entitled to allot- ments and to all other benefits in the same manner and with the same condi- tions as if they were a part of the Sioux nation. The act of the last congross ro- garding the reservation distinctly rec- ognizes the act of 1882 ‘“‘to extend the northern boundary of the state of Ne- braska,” in view of which it would seem safe to conclude that when the condition of the cession is complied with in the extinguishment of —the Indian title ths government will concede the right of Nebraska to extend its jurisdiction over this strip. A correspondent of Tie Bz, refer- ing to the letter of tho commissioner of the land office, recently published, ve- garding the preliminary requiroments to an opening of the Sioux reservation, suggests that the commissioner is mis- taken in the view that any further action by congress is nocessary. He quotes from the law to show that when the consent of the Indians has been ob- tained, and satisfactory proof thereof has been presented to the president, the president shall make the same known by proclamation, whereupon the reserva- tion will be open for settlement. The act does not provide for the further consent of congress, but obviously set- tlement can not be made until there have been surveys of the portionsof the territory that have not bcen surveyed, 'THE DAILY BEE, PUBLISHED EVERY MORNING. —— TRRMS OF SUBSCRIPTION, Daily (Morning Fdition) including SUNDAY R, O VOAE. ..

I 1S a sad commentary on the greed of office-seeking when both the presi- dentand the secretary of the treasury wre obliged to give public notice that officeseckers should allow them at least some time for the transaction of public business. EvVERY dollar given toward observing Memorial day is an offering to patriot- ism, a tribute to the memory of the men whose sacrifices gave usa united nation. Give promptly and generously, and make Decoration day in Omaha one worthy of the name. THE crowding of settlers upon the Bioux reservation in defiance of the warnings of the government is not going to help their cause in the least. It more likely to embarrass the negotia- tions of the commissioners with the In- dians, and lead to the eviction of the squatters by United States troops.

THE sale of the Denver & South Park _eailroad, announced to take place @ithin ten days at Denver, to satisfy #he holders of the first mortgage, will oreate considerable interest in railroad ‘oircles. The road is important to the Union Pacific system. Both the Bur- . logton and the Rock Island appear quite anxious to obtain possession of the Denver & South Park for obvious rensous, and a lively competition may be expected at the sale unless some ngreement be reached with the stock- holders as to the disposition of the road, before that time. mm———— Tue plumbers’ strike still remains unsettieq.

If the latter refuse to treat with the committee, the journeymen will have public sympathy on their side. Otherwise their strike will end . in & costly fuilure, Srm———— A SUBSTANTIAL improvement is no- ticeable in railvoad traffic. The move- _ ment in grain, accelerated by the grow- ing strength of the market, is an en- couraging sign of improvement. The increased export of wheat and corn, followed by an advance in prices, and * the reduced rates offered by western railroads, combine to open the granaries . mnd relieve to » substantial extent, the prevailing depression. If prices re- main firm at 8 paying basis, the millions of bushels of corn locked up in Ne- braska bins will be moved to marke relivving the stringency in trade and fmproving all branches of business by au increased circulation of mouey. in order that the Indians may fivst ro- ceive their allotments, of which, as we understand the act, they have the right of selection. It is doubtless true as to those vortions which have been surveyed, as for example, tho strip that will become a pary of Nebraska, that squatters may locate upon it, but they would nec sarily do so without any certainty of ve- maining where they sqatted. The pro- visions regavding aliotments to the Ponca and other Indians on the lands described in the act to extend the north- ern boundary of Nebraska requives that such gallotments shall be made within sfx months from the time the act shall take effect, so that there is a proba- bility that under the most favorable cir- cumstances this portion of the reserva- tion may be ready for settlement oefore the close of the year. But the commission nfust meet with a prompt success that is hardly expected, and the president allow no delay in proclaiming the re- sult, 1n order to enable anybody to ef- fect a permanent settlement even in the surveyed territory within the present year. Inany event, however, the open- ing up of the reservation hasa special importance for Nebraska, and care should be taken that the state is not de- prived of any part of the benefits that should accrue to it. TAKING COUNSEL OF THFE ENEMY All the democratic and mugwump or- gans in this city are very anxious that Senator Manderson should keep on brandishing a big club over the head of ox-Senator Saunders. They applaud Senator Manderson’s threats to defeat Saunders’ confirmation tor the Utah commission, because he has dared to differ with Mr. Manderson asto the lo- cation of the new postoffice building. Tt is perfectly natural that the organs which supported Grover Cleveland for the presidency should want to use Sen- ator Manderson to help carry out the arrangement by which Mrs. Grover Cleveland was to make a little pin money out of Uncle Sam. Taking ad- vantage of General Manderson’s well-known partiality to Murs., Cleveland and his chivalry where a handsome womaa is deeply in- terested, they take delight in fanning the factional fires in the republican camp. They know that Manderson has already crippled himself and made him- self impotent to help his ‘oiitieal frionds by his unseemly exhibitions of jealousy and vindictiveness toward Sen- ator Saunders. By adding fuel to the flame they urge Manderson to keep up a contest in which he is bound to be worsted in the long run. When a re- publican senator, taking counsel and comfort from democrats and mugwumps, places himself in a hostile attitude to- ward a republican administration, he is on the high road to political ruin. He might as well plant himself in the path of a locomotive. Greater men than Manderson have fallen by the way side in the foolhardy role of senatorial dic- tator. From Tipton, who was dis- gruntled with Grant, to the brilliant, imperious and majestic Conkling, none has survived a passage-at-arms with a president. The sooner Mr. Manderson takes in his horns and shows by his conduct that he realizes that he is only a small fragment of the great machine of government the better it will be for himsel! and the people of this state. His threats to defeat the confirmation of a man whom he has endorsed for ap- pointment, are peurile and unbecoming the dignity of his office. Se——————————— SOUTHERN COMPETITION. The recent decline in the prices of iron, and the depression that prevalls in some brauches of the iron industry, are thought to foreshadow a revolution in thisdepartmentof trade. Except for & brief period eleven ycars ago, pig iron now rules at the lowest figure ever attained, and it 18 by no means certain that the bottom has been reached, Thera is more than one cause for this state of affairs, but, undoubtedly, nos the least influential is southern compe- tition, The low price of south- ern iron has placed the Penns sylvapia iron masters on the defensive, and soems likely to bold them in that position uuless there should be an unlooked-for rovival of the trade. The situation can bo easily understood when it is stated that Penn« sylvania iron can not be deawn for less than thirteen dollars per ton, while southern iron can be produced for nine dollars. At present the iron mak- ersof Pennsylvania are selling their product at u profit of not to exceed two dollars a ton over actual cost of manu- facture, while the southern makers, selling at one dollar below the price of their northern comypetitors, get a profit of about five dollars per ton. The disadvantage at which the iron industries of the north are thus placed must inevitably in time produce great changes in the trade. Just now the iron producers of Pennsylvania may be eimply testing the competitive power of the southern mills and perhaps feeling out for some sort of a combination, but whatever their purposes may be it would seem evident that the iron industries of this country are on the point of under- going important changes for which the southern competition will be primavily responsible, and which will materially affect the pros- perity of numerous localities where these industrios exist under conditions no longer favorable. Combination may delay this result, but it can not permanently prevent it, and among the possible consequences a material modi- fication of the tariff on iron is not the most unlikely. PUSHING REFORM. When President Harrison made his appointments of civil service commis- sioners, he gave the best possible ev denc s gincere desire to promote real form in the civil service. He dia not promise, as his predecessor had done, to make this the cardinal policy of his administration. He had made a record in favor of civil service reform, and he had declared his full concur- rence with the altitude of his party on the subject, but he had his own ideas of how to proceed and he pursued them 'dless of the opinions and isme of others. He found that ave wrongs had been done which demanded to be righted, and he did noy hesitate to act as justice and the inter- ests of the public service required. He did not commend himself to the ex- teeme and unpracticable reformers, but he did his duty to his own satisfaction and that of the fair and candid judg- ment of the country. The appointment of civil service com- missioners in full and hearty sympathy with reform meant that the president intended to give the policy a fair and thorough trial, under the supervision of men whose integrity and devo- tion none could doubt. This intention is being put into effect. Civil service regulations are being extended in every department, and it is undertood that the president favors apolying them to the employes for taking the next cen- sus. The tongues of his democratic and mugwump critics are silenced and the criticism he now gets comes from the spoils politicians ot his own party. The promise is that the day of farcical re- form has gone by, and that hercalter there is to be an honest, straightfor- ward policy, to be judged on its merits. Such a course will be in striking con- trast to what the country has hitherto experienced. SENATOR VEST'S committee, which early this spring took up the investiga- tion of the alleged control of the meat markets of the country by Chicago pack- ing combines, will continue its exam- ination during the summer. It will have the opportunity to go over the field carefully and gather such testi- mony as will prove or disprove the ex- istence of a meat monopolyin the coun- try. The action of a number of state legislatures in making the beef supply a question of serious invesga- tion goes to show that widespread dis- satisfaction exists. It will therefore be the busiuess of the senate committee to find out whether the complaint against the alleged beef packing combine be well founded or not. As yet no positive proof of such a combination exists, and the investigations so far have accom- plished no practical vesults, It is uni- versally admitted that state laws dis- crimmating againstdressed beef are im- propor and unconstitutional, and in no way would meet the evil of a beef trust. Whatever regulation is necessary to corvect the abuse must be left to con- gress. The sonate committee isina condition to give the whole question an impartial hearing and to recommend to congress what remedy should be ap- plied if the investigation develops any- thing that calls for national interfer- ence. But should the committee dis- cover that the hue and ory against the packed beef industry is merely raised by selfish and competitive interests in order to prejudice the publie, it can do no betier service to the country than to expose the fallacies and put an end to the war on tho pucked beef industry. A CALL for a meeting of all citizens who favor the election of a non-partisan school board on June 8 is now in order. This meeting should be held regardless of impending political caucuses and conveutions. E—— OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Tho vote recently in the British house of commons on the bill to abolish the hereditary principles of the house of lords was not with- out significance. This was the fourth time within seven years that the bill came up, and on the three former oceasions it received lit- tle encouragement from English politicians of importance. This time, however, it has not only been backed by the liboral leaders, but has received some tory support, and has been deteated by the small majority of 41 in a total vote of 88 While the house of lords, as at present constituted, is generally recog- nized as & stumbling-block to British pro- gress, few politiclans have had the courage toattempt to deprive its membess of thewr wost cherished privilege, and some have no doubt beeu deferred by the hope that they might at some future time gain the distinc- tion of & seat mmong the peers, But the ‘uember of parliament is learning a thing or two. He knows that the house of lords is soythlng but popalar among the people, and he need not fear to give offence to any one days as they used to be.

The exposition itself has beon nr’m with unfriendly eyos by the kings and emporors of the world; their embassadors wore present at its inaugu- ration, indeed, but only as private person- ages:they did not appear as friendiy repre- sentatives of friendly powers. The mon- archies have made a mistake. They have been insiswent upon the decay of ropublican theories und the demise of republican long- ines in Europe, but their vonspicuous hostil- ity to a convivial meeting of the delegates from ropublican nations is evidence of their dread of the republican instincts of their subjocts. It is natural enough. Evory dis- play of the resources and achievements of the citizens of republics is an object-lesson on the inferiority of the monarchical system. And yet botter manners would have bsen volicy on the tho part of the disgrunuled sovereigns, ‘The refusal of European mona banquet given 1 French ropublic American republ! resented in the ¥ s The reception of the shah of Persia in Rus- sia and in England will, it is safe to say, bo attendod by every phase of svectacular dis- play which will make a favorable impression upon the mind of an oriental potontate. Persia is destined to tall into the hands of eithor Russia or England, or be divided be tween them. It would be according the fit- ness of thigs, as Kurope views them, it England yielded to Russiva sea-const outlot through Porsia, as the prics of a final adjust- mont of the castorn question. The diplo- matic agents of England have of lato been very successful in gaining the coufidence of the shah—s0 much so that Russia threat- ened, not many months ago, to withdraw her represcntatives, cut off uflicial relations, and to receive the shah upon his tour sumply as a private person. The threat produced its effect, and this is why the Persian mon- arch is greoted with such honors in Russin. Tle walked under trinmphul arches at Erwan and feasted his eyes upon the inscription: Do the Shah's Sacred Person.” The Brit- ish flatterers of the shah will be compelled to do something mors handsomo than iodge him in the dreary halls of Buckingham paiace, if they expoct to outdo the Russian honors.

Such congresses (they are common to all international exhibitions) not infre- quently accomplish a great deal of good by bringing together some of the brightest minds in the world—a succession of special- ists. Their audiedces inay vesmall, but thoy are select, and the publication of what 1s said and of descriptions of, awhat is shown carrics around the world the consensus of thought on various practical and scientific subjects. “The Eloctrical congress of 1381 was of great value in securing something like uniformity in nomenclature and standards of measure- ment, and the Eleétrical congress will this year have more work of the same kind to do. It should, for exauple, get & new standard for measuring eleetric lignts, and it ought to discuss the subject of layiug wires under- ground. If it should succeed in setiling these questions to the satisfaction of Amer- ican cities it “will justify the flood of tallc which Pavis invites when 1t calls together sixty-nine intornational congresses to meet there within six months. The latest conspiracy against the czar was evidentiy no commonplace nihilistic affair. It is an old device of the Russian policy to invent conspiracies in order to cover over their lukewarmness and inefliciency and pose before the goverpment as models of vigilanco and zeal. But the numerous arrests of army officers, some of whom actually slew them- selves upon discovery, indicate a deep plot against the life of the czar. What were the ultimate political aims of the conspirators, in the event of th zar's assassination, is not likely to become known to the world. The Russian government in its despotic jealousy does not permit any report of its state trials to extend beyond the walls of the court house in which they are held. it is foared with reason, thut the more the Russian peo} ple shall become familiarized with con- spiracies against the government the greater will be their frequency and danger. Such a a political system bas nothing to dread so much as p ublicity. »'x The government of the Argentine Repub- lic has been more successful in prohibiting speculation in gold than was the government of the Unmted States when it undertook the taslk, but the extreme methods adopted there ‘would not have been tolerated here. As soon as the new minister of finunce, Senor Varela, came to his post, he pent all his energies to reducing the premium on gold. But in spite of all he could do, the price of gold steadily advanced from 135, last December, to 160 in Februsry. He attributed this largely to the speculation of the exchange. In February, the minister showed, the dealings in gold amounted to ninety million dollars, while the actual needs of commerce would not have called formore than five million dollars, It was on March 20 that the decree was 1ssued declaring all buying and selling of gold, not for immediate delivery and immediate use, t beillegal. More than this, the doors of the exchange were closed at once by the po- lice and a guard of spldiers stationel before them, The members of the exchange natur- ally felt themselves highly aggrioved, and would not agree to liye up to the terms of the decree, which was the reason the gov- erument resorted fo extrome measures, The larger part of the press strongly opposes the new law. Yet it ig;popular with the country at large, and there seems to be no immediate prospact of its repeal. sThe effect upon the price of gold, howdver, has not been what the minister of fingnce hoped and predicted ; that has changed qub 1gttle sinoe the date of the decree. " ‘The enthusiastic regeption afforded to the king and orown pringe of Italy by the people of Berlin is even morg indicative of the firm- uess of the cordial purpose existing between the two nations than(are the profuse hospi- talities tendered to their illustrious guests by the royal family of Germany. It has pleased certain observers to comment upon the more enthusiastic demonstrations of re- gard to the [talian than to the Russian mon- arch, who not long ago was a visitor in Ger- many; the comment may be more ill-natured than reasonable, It is quite natural that the people and emperor of Germany may love the Emperor Alexander none ‘“the less" while loving King Humberc *‘the more." The recent histories of Italy and Germany run on parallel lines. The Italian policy has been to malke Italy not only free but united from the Alps to tho Adriatic; the imperiai policy has been to cgnsolidate all the prov- inces between the' Hhine and the Baluoc. BSuccess has attended each effort, aud like strugglos have begotten friendshiv. The al- Lanoo between Iialy eud Germany is well grounded in community of purpose and se timent.

He en- tered office 1n the latter part of 1884, and was elocted to a socond term last year. The ex: verience of the past fiftsen yoars shows that insurrections and revolutions are not neces- ary conditions in the Mexican's existence, while the record of the country since 1885, proves that Mexico is not incapable of an improyement of a highly important aud flat- tering character.
