OMAHA capitalists are letting golden opportunities slip through their hands. Has tvheir grip lost its cunning? THE sontiment for annexation is growing. Omaha annexed several large doses of South Omaha yesterday. e THE republican and democratic cen- tral committees are shaking off the ‘dust and cobwebs of their Rip Van *Winkle sleep in anticipation of the 8chool board election JOHN L. SULLIVAN has announced his “intention of .becoming a hotel keeper. But he will never succeed as a boniface. Nobody would dare stand him off for a month’sboard. MEN of business ability und integrity should be chosen for the school board. The anxiety of ward strikers for an office without salary attachment is proof of dishonest intentions, — IT may be interesting to learn that the West Virginia gubernatorial elec- tion is not yet ended. The recount is still going on, and if the democrats can do it, the task will not be ended until the next election —e DR. TANNER, the famous faster, wants to demonstrate how easy it is to be buried for four weeks and to come out alive. A long-suffering people would prefer to have Dr. Tanner bury him- self and stay there. —— THE delay in street paving opera- tions is a great hardship to the work- ingmen of the city. Prompt action should be had on the contracts, so that employment may be secured by the hundreds of men now idle in the city. THE Sioux commission is all ready to start for the Sioux reservation. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that the young bucks are reported to be feel- ing frisky over the prospects of getting their pockets filled with gold in ex- change for land THE opening up to settlement of the Sisseton Indian reservation in Dakota, composing some three million five hun- dred thousand acres, within the next sixty days, should satisty the most eager land seecker looking about for a iich and arable quarter section. Ep—— THE geological bureau informs tho people of Colorado that natural gas will in all probability be found some day in paying quantities within the state. This predictioa may be encouraging, but it is too indefinite to give the peo- ple of Colorado immediate satisfaction. L _______} Tix early compilation of the oty or- dinances is a duty which the council can no longer neglect. Information is sought for, daily, upon important meas- ures., but it is next to impossible to ob- tain the required knowledge, due tothe faot that the ordinamces for the past twoor three years are buried in the oity vaults. The Chase ordinances, compliled four or five yearsago are obso- lete and at this time incomplete and untrustworthy. Is the committee on printing asleop? E—E—— A NUMBER of enquiries have becn re- ceived at this office concerning the truth of the dispatch from Tacoma, W. ‘T, that Robert Shields had come into possession of millions of dollars worth of .property in Omaha, and that his rights were afirmed by the United States supreme court. There is not the slightest ground for the story. It is a pure ‘invention. No such claim was ever flled in the supreme court, and therefore could not have been con- sidered or passed upon. Nor is there such a claim pending in the local or intermediate courts, The title to Omaha propevty is perfeotly olear and secure, and eastorn holders are abso- l:hl’u‘blmn attack from any quar- P ® THE SITUATION IN MONTANA. The demoorats of the ocountry are confident that their party wili carry the new state of Montana. Some of the more optimistic among them, as Con- gressman 8. 8, Cox, profess to believe that three of the four new states will be democratic, but while this faith is far from general, none doubt that Montana will elect demooratic state officials and send democrats to congress. The mu- nicipal elections of two months ago showed considerable democratic gains, and the late eloction of delegates to the constitutional convention was favor- able to the democrats. The encouragement derived from these facts is strengthened by the belief that there are dissensions in the ranks of the republicans of the territory too serious to admit of the restoration of harmony before the new state is organ- ized. It is auite among the possibilities that democratic confidence regarding Montana may be disappointed. The Helena Herald says: “We know that they have been promised Montana sure, but the democrats outside of the terri- tory are more confident than those in- side. The late vote for delegates to the constitutional convention proves very little, and that little does not show any safo margin for the democrats.” The truth is, that a great many voters did not feel any groat political interest in the choice of delegates to the constitu- tional convention, for in the framing of a constitution the issues which divide parties will have very little vegard, consequently men whose business made an imperative demand on their time and attention did not leave it to vote. The case will be very different, how- ever, when it comes to choosing a rop- resontative in congress and a legisla- ture that is to elect two United States senators. Then national issues will exert their influence, and voters who were indifferent as to whether democrats or repub- licans framed the state cousti- tution will feel some concern as to whether the new state shall be repre- sented in congress by men who are in sympathy with the dominant party in the country or indentified with the po- litical organization which will be pow- erless for at least the next four years. With regard to the reported dissen- sions among Montana republicans there appears to be a great deal of fiction about it. There was recently published aletter purporting to have been written to the president by an old Montana re- publican, one Richard F. Negley, in which it was charged that the interfer- ence of Russell Harrison in the politics of the territory had been disastrous to the republican party. The Helena Journal says that prominent republicans whom it consulted knew of no such per- son as Negley, and it characterizes the contents of the letter ascribed to him asdrivel. Itsays there has been no contest over any federal office except that of governor, and this was settled by the president to the admitted satis- faction of all concerned. It is probable that the republicans of Montana were not as careful and zealous in maintaining their organization and getting out their vote at the elections this spring as they should have been, and the resultought to be an instructive lesson to them. They elected the dele- gate to congress last November by a handsome majority, and there 18 no ap- parent good reason why the vote of the party should have been permitted to de- cline. Active and earnest work will now be necessary to restore it,and if this is given there is more than a possi- bility that democratic confidence re- garding Montana will be disappointed. The stake is certainly worth a vigorous effort to secure it. THE BLACK REPUBLIC. It appears to be settled that the gov- ernment will send a commission to Hayti. The precise object intended to be accomplished, however, is not ex- plained. The concession of territory upon which this government may estab- lish coaling stations, with a guarantee that thoy shall be protected, is un- doubtedly one of the purposes in view, but it may not be the most important. The secresy observed at the state de- partment regarding the nature of the duties which the commission will be charged with, due to a desire to keep them from the knowledge. of foreign governments, suggests that there is very much more in the diplomatic un- dertaking than the simple matter of arranging for coaling stations, which no European goyernment would be tikely to interpose any objection to. Hayti is in a state of insurrection. The government, of which Logitime is the head, and which has recei ved the recoguition of most of the European governments, is being assailed by Hippolyte, who ‘elaims to have been chosen provisional president, and has a large [following. The claim is made that the latter is receiving encouragement and sup- port from this country, while as to Leg- itime there is reason to believe that he would not be unwilling to make im- portant concessions to European pow- ers in return for such aid as would en- able him to establish his authority. There is both a constitutional provision and a treaty stipulation against Hayti alienattng any of her territory, but this need not interfere with Legitime according some special commercial ad- vantage to any European nation that would assist his cause to a successful issue, and it is not doubted that he has made overtures for such assistance. Americans have considerable interests in Hayti, which it is the duty of this government to concern itself with, at least to the extent of demanding that they shall not be saceificed in the in- terest of Europeans, besides which it would be contrary to the policy of the United States to permit an alliance be- tween Hayti and any European power which would give such power a special advauntage, commercially or politically, in that island, It is therefore probable that the prime purpose of sending a commission to Hayti is to ascertain the real status of affairs there, regarding which the reports are confusing and untrust- worthy, the extent to which American interests are involved, and whether or uot there has been any attempt to se- cure European interlerence in the af- faies of that country. It is conceivable l that the ultimate object may be to exert the influence and friendly offlces of the United States in an endeavor to bring to an end the conflict in Hayti, which has had some deplorable results, and establish thé government on a secure basis, It is certainly time, from con- siderations of humanity if nothing else, that an effort were made tostop further bloodshed and devastation in tlte black ropublie, and such an effort the United States may properly and legitimately make. aN—— OMAHA'S OPPORTUNITIES. The season is ripe for an energetic and united effort by our capitalists and business men to push the interests of Omahn, There are a dozen schemes for the advancement of the city which should be taken out of the domain of profitless discussion and vitalized by ac- tion. Indifference is a canker at the root of progress. It produces local de- bility and creates distrust abroad. The men of means in this city must put their shoulders to the wheels and encourage by their efforts the investment of for- eign capital in various enterprises. First and foremost, we need a free railroad bridge over the Missouri., The city can not hope to reach the plane of commercial greatness which its geo- graphical position promises with but ono gateway of commerce, and that con- trolled by a corporation whose invest- ments are a permanent menace to the railrond interests of this city. An active effort should be made, and made promptly, to build the bridge chartered by the Nebraska Central railvond. De- lays are dangerous. Under the provi- sions of the charter, work must begin within two years from tho (date of its passage and the bridge must be completed in three years. A more important enterprise for the advancement of the city could not be undertaken. The Iowa railroads must be given free access to tho city, and the highway must be con- trolled by men whose interests and those of Omaha are identical. The rail- roads are not only ready but anxious to enter the city, if proper facilities can be had, and their coming would add millions to the trade and taxable wealth of the city. The prospective Sioux reservation in new force to the necessity of a northern railroad. The addition of eleven million acres of land to the cultivable area of the embryo state, the influx of settlers, the growth of old and upbuilding of néw towns, opens up a rich tield for the jobbing interests of the city. The people of that section are partial to Omaha, and all things being equal, would give a large share of their trade to this city. But our jobbers can not hope to compete success- fully with St. Paul, Minneapolis or Chicago under existing conditions. Direct railroad connection with Yank- ton and the north is essential to per- manent trade with south and central Dakota. These are two enterprises of vital im- portance to the welfare of the city. If our moneyed men will take hold of them in the proper’ spirit, they can be se- cured and lesser enterprises will follow in their wake as sure as day succeeds night. the Dakota gives opening of THE treasury department is consider- ing the application of the Canadian Pa- cific railroad for the right to ship mer- chandise in bond through American territory. Itisa very important mat- ter, since if the concession is made it will enable the Canadian Pacific to compete with the American roads on equal terms, except for the limitations placed on the latter by the inter-state commerce act. This road now carries bonded merchandise received from other Canadian and American bonded roads, but as it is building a line across the northern part of Maine which gives it easy access to American ports it asks authority to transport dutiable goods in bond from any port of entry in the Unifted States to Canada, and from any port of entry or delivery in the United States through Canada to or from any other port of entry or delivery in the United States by either railroad or vessel. Obviously the granting of this authority would make the Canadian Pa- cific a far more formidable competitor of the American roads than it is at present, and, in view of the discussion of the relations of the Canadian rail- roads as competitors of the roads of this country, it is very questionable whether the treasury department will grant the Canadian Pacific the very broad privi- lege it asks for. As it is absolutely a foreign corporation, constructed largely by government subsidies, there is ample reason why it should not be given a con- cession that would unquestionably re- sult in materially injuring American roads without any compensating ad- vantage to other interests, The Cana~ dian roads now having the right to ship merchandise in bond through American territory have at least the claim that they represent large investments of American capital, and are wmore or less identified with Americaun interests. — THE news that the British war ships Swiftsure and Amphion have been or- dered to cruise in Alaskan waters to protect the sealing vessels of British Columbia, during the coming season, has attracted considerable attention in Washington. The reports may be ex- aggerated, and do not necessarily sig- nify that England will offer armed resistance to the arrests of seal poach- ers, by our revenue cutters. Neverthe- less, the government has deemed the situation sufficiently critical to order the war vessels on duty at San Francisco to the sealing grounds as soon as possi- ble. The settlement of the Behring | ea controversy is likely to become one of groat importance, and have consid- | erable bearing upon the question of the | right of Americans to fish in Canadian waters, If the United States should insist upon the doctrine of a closed sea with respect to the seal fisheries of Alaska, it is more than probable that England would retaliate by a similar | declaration touching upon the right of Americans to catoh fish off the shores of Canada, e ‘THE czar is reported to have senl his sgents to this country in order to leara | vance our metholls of irrigation with a view of applying the system to reclaim the steppes of his empire. The fact is, however, that America has very little to show in the way of irrigation on a grand scale. Outside of California, Colorado o rts of New Mexico, the system is n rried onin this country. The project aking great reservoirs and grand sin the mountains of Montana an: folorndo for irrigating purposes is yet merely o theory. Perhaps thi r's engineers can tenach a thing or two to our own people in the way of reclal glpn arid tracts. Tne New York Hreniug PPost approves the attitude taken by the president in the issue forced upon him by the Illi- nois senators regarding the appoint- ment of a collector of internal revenue. It remarks that it is not the uauty of senators ‘‘to make nominations for the president in a private way, upon which they must afterwards vote in their offi- cial capacity.” We have seen no ox- pression of opinion favorable to the sen- ators, and it is evident the president has the nearly universal public opinion with him. The precedent will stand and its effect will be good. PROCEEDING in the usual way, the party bosses who want to divide the spoils of school board patronage among their followers, propose to issue their calls for primaries and nominating con- ventions, which will, in the usual way, muke up two tickets the day before elec- tion, and then give the voters a chance to pick the best men. The question is will taxpayers and citizens who are in- terested in our public schools arouse themselves and put in nomination can- didates for tho school board who will not be beholden to the wmachine for favors. TALLY one more for Senator Mander- son. Our Washington dispatches an- nounce that Mr. Michaels of Kansas City, brother of W. H. Michuels of Ne- braska. Senator Manderson's clerk of the senate committee on printing, has been appointed a clerk at $1,800, and has assumed his duties at the govern- ment printing office. If there are any other members of the Michaels family scattered promiscuously about the coun- try, outside of Nebraska of course, they will be provided for presently.

Peoria Transeript. The city marshal of Dubuque publishes a notice warning all saloonkeepers that their licenses are now due, and that uuless they are promptly paid saloons belonging to de- Linquents will be closed up. Thore is quite a sermon in that notice. Senator Hoar's Plan, Globez-Democrat, Senator Edmunds favors, among other election reforms, the compulsory publication of campaign expenses. Such a precaution, coupled with a fixed limit beyond which no caudidate could go, would make honost elec- tions easier to secure than they are now. prodahiddisniton, Regulating the *“‘Growler.” Philadelphia Times, Tho brewers and saloonkeepers of Long Island have resolved, after May 25, to seil beer by the pound and not by the measure, as formerly. A scale has been invented for the purpose, which is intended to be fastened over the beer taps. When a can or pitcher is put on, it will hang under the tap and an indicator will tell how much the can weighs. ‘The reasons alleged for this change in the method of selling are because some saloon- keepers gave larger measures than others, and a general inequality in price was caused by the old method. —_— The Growth ot Deadwoorl. .

OMmAmA, May 27.—To the Editor of Tmm Bee: It is well known to the readers of your paper, that on ghe 18th of the coming month, a prohibition amendment to the constitution of Penasylvania will be submitted to the voters of that state for their approval or ro- Jection, It is amusing to notice some of the arguments used by those who intend to vote in tho aMrmative on that question. They declare that every friend of temperance who absents himself from the polls on that day is “in reality, voting for the saloon"-—that s “unused vote will help to defeat the cause he professes to favor.” Thisis a most fal- lacious argument. It makes temperance and prohibition one and the same. It affirms that a person cannot be a friend to temper- ance and opposed to prohibition. It is not an exaggeration to say that thore are tens of thousands of good tem- perance voters of Pennsylvania who are not prohibitionists, And the reason they sre opposed to the prohibitory ameidment is, they do not believe that it is fust or that it is right or that it is expedient. hey are not in 1avor of the methods advocated by prohi- bitionists to advance the temperance cause. fore vote for the ame! y of these honest voters will not cast their ballots against it, simply be- cause of the foar that, In 8o doing, their actions will be misjudged—that, by having the courage of their convictions, they would Dbe set down as being in fuvor of saloons. Prohibition papers all over the state are loud in proclaiming that, ‘“'if the prohibitory amendment be defeated, the result will be due to the indifference of those who stay at home.” In this there is not honesty. 1f, on the 18th of June, 1880, pronibition in the Key- stone state suffers (as it most assuredly will) o Waterloo defeat, the cause will be that a large majority of the voters of that comwmon- wealth who go to the polls on that day. are opposed to tho amendment. ‘“‘General apathy” will play an insignificant purt in bringing about the result, as the stay-at- homes, largely thosd who are guided more by impulse than reason, or have more zeal than discretion.

In less than two weeks she was to have become the wifeof O. M. McClellan, of this city. The figure of this man, in his elogant silk tile and uatty fitting Prince Albert, has been familiar on the stroots of Lincoln for several years past: This week-duy habit, however, was that of the better class of carpenters and builders, and there was nothing of his jaunty Sunday alr in either walk or talk. business room in the basement of the Lindell hotel gave evi dence of thrift and enterprise. His handi- work in scrolls, brackets, desks and office fixtures was in_demand. As o builder his services were sought. There was nothing of the washer in his bearing, yet Lincoln never known a more heartless or treacherous one. About eight months he met Tilly ‘Trichil for the first time. er modest bear- ing, pretty face and comely figure attracted his attention and be sought her acquaintance and woed and won her. Than Tilly, Lincoln has no purer daughter, though poor and {riendless, for her parents and friends live in Germany, Their wedding day was fixed for Sunday, June 7. By tho merest accident, one day last week, she called on a friend, a lady who lives on the second floor ot the Butler block. on O street. The happy girl gave Mrs. Grant her confidence, and the name of her intended startled the good lady, but she said nothing, for, as she put it, ‘‘although the coincidence was singular, 1t might be explained away.’ As soon as Tilly left, she knocked at the door of room 16, and was soon conversing pleasantly with her next-door noighbor. She vlied her quostions thick and fast, and be- came convinced that this woman's husband and Tilly Trichil’s intended was one and the same person, On last Friday Mrs. Grant sent for Tilly, and after a few moments’ con- versation, told her her fears. She heard her friend’s disclosure with a tranquil mind, for her faith in Charley was supreme. But she asked to be introduced to the alleged Mrs. McClellan, and & moment later the wite and intended met and greeted each other kindly, but distantly. Countless questions were asked and answered so direct that Tilly’s faith in her lover was shaken, At last, 1n a fit of desperation, she asked Mrs. McClellau if she had her husband's pic- ture, and on sccuring an afirmative answer, asked to see it. In a moment she was look- ing into the photographed eyes of her affl- anced husbaud, and, had it not been for the kindly assistance at hand, she would have fallen to the floor. Further proof of McClellan’s perfldy was then introduced. The marriage certificato of W. C. McClellan and Minme Sommerville was banded to Tilly, und the evidence against the aeceiver was full and complete. The certificate attested that the parties named had been united in the holy bonds of wedlook by Rev. J. B. Johnson, about two years ogo, who at that tine was pastor of the First Christian church. The two women talked together long and carnestly, Though betrayed on the one hand and bascly deceived on the other, they mingled their tears together, and parted ‘without thought or purpose for the future. In- :.lu?id‘ as they both say, they don't know what 0 do. At an early hour this morning Tne BEr representative called on Mrs. McClelian, at 1208 O street. Her care-worn face attested that she was burdened with a deep sorrow. She held an infant child in her arms, prob- LINCOLN BUREAU OF THe OMAdA Ban, 1020 P SO g g, ‘hlyumr old, The room was urnished, and that told a story that can n bo mistaken. She has none of tho comforts neoded by a woman in her condition, andpun- loss the wrotch who batrayed her is brought to time, must become a subject for oharity sooner or later. Until the timely meeting botween the two ladies, McClellan took his meals and spent most of his_evenings with his wife. Since then he has declined to live with her, and, indeed, has removed his *belongings” and most of the botter furniture from his erstwhile nappy home to two elegant rooms he has furnished at the corner of Fourteenth and S streets, where he haslived between times for somo timo past. His wife reluctantly verified every statomont as made, as did also Mrs. Grant and othors whom Tue Ber reprosentative called on during the forenoon and interviewed regard. ing the matter. Mrs, McClellan stated that her husband had assured her that their baby should never suffer; that she might live in the rooms she now ocqu:lol as long ms she wanted to, and he would pay the rent.

The Council Investigation. The hn‘eslifnuon of ‘‘boodlers and boode ling" in the old city county commenced this morning at 10 o'clock. Joe Burns was the first witness called bofore the investigating committee. His testimony was by no means assuring for Councilman Dean, whom he uny mercifully smirched in his petition on fila in the district court, in which case he is plain. tiff, and the city of Lincoln the defendant. Ha roiterated his statement with emphasis that Dean wanted 10 per cent of the well contract money due hum, to insure the allowance of the claim by the council, It will be remems bered that this contract amounted to $2,100 odd dollars. Burns says he told Dean when he made the demand that he “‘would them in hell before he would pay a lflcllal':} it.” His testimony occupied the time of th committee throughout the forenoon, and i was terse and to the point on every count, Dean is considered hopelessly in the sou here without a farthing of additional testls mony. Buras is after Dean, and his testi “"}“{f“" had to do with him. McMurtry, tho real estato man, wi called this afternoon, and was on the stan ‘when Trr Bee representative left the NHB cil chamber, He, also, went for Dean wit] a sharp stick. Ho testified that when h wanted the ordinance passed to admit th MoMurtry addition $o the city of Lingols it cost him a lot for Dean's influence an friendship. When questioned rogarding his conversation with Cheeney, in whion it is charged that ‘‘the council was as rotten as hell and twice as nasty,” he replied that 1 was altogether probable that he had us some such language, His testimony also tended to implicate some of the other meme bers of the council.

Louis Meyer says dealing in warrants and bonds and other securities belongs to his business and he further says that if there E anything wrong in this he wants to know The mere fact of dealing in them, however, is not where the blame attaches. It is in thy oclass of warrants he secures and the meth he has taken to secure them. For instance, if & doubtful claim was. allowed by the coune cil, the warrant resulting passed into his hands at a tremendous discount. The public is on the tiptoe of expectation, and it is openly said that the investigatios will do the city more good than anythi that has ever happened in its history. g A JEWELER WRITES: Messrs. ProcTER & GamsLE, Cincinnati, Ohio. Gentlemen:—1 think your *“Ivory Soap " is about as nice and convenient a thing as I have ever tried to clean jewelry. I have frequently cleaned up soiled necklaces, watch-guards and other sim- ilar articles by making a stiff lather in my hands, then thoroughly saturate the article I want cleaned, rubbing it gently in the palms of my hands, rinsing in cold, soft water, and drying in dry saw- dust, don’t think it can be beat, For a convenient and effective article for household use I I don't think it would have any in. jurious effects on any thing except, perhaps, pearls or foil-back goods. If carefully handled, the goods come out looking nearly as bright as when cleaned by the best preparations known to the trade, and it is something perfectly safe in the hands of inexperienced persons, and convenient to have about. it deserves mention, hence this letter. I find it so good I think A WORD OF WARNING.
