Milwaukee is struggling yet over her post office site although Russell Harrison has no father-in-law in that community. Now bring out those plans and speci- fications for those great blocks of granite and marble thav are to rise around the Planters House site. Don’t all speak at once. Trr rubber manufacturers of the country may not have a rubber trust in their mind’s eye. But ascheme which shall regulate and keep up the price of rubver goods smells almost as rank. THe “paver” who sends a communi- cation to THE BEE, claiming that in no city of the country has he ever seen such a disregard for paving specifica- tions as in Omaha, evidently knows what he is talking about. ‘WHEN a United States grand jury in Tennessee brings in bills of indictment against two hundred judges and clerks ofelection, it is fair to presume that elections in that state are decidedly mixed and off color. THE unoted English divine, Rev. Charles Spurgeon, has won for himself the everlasting friendship of Chicago. He has just told that saintly city that from a religious standpoint it was far alicad of wicked London, especially in the matter of Sunday observance. — “OMAHA must keep abreast of the times in the matter of public attrac- tions.” The preparations for the mer- chants’ carnival this fall are in good hands, and the success of the enterprise rests largely with the co-operation of " our merchants and citizens. THERE has been another sharp rise in the price of sugar within the past few days which makes the advance fully one -and one-half cents per pound since the latter part of March. Consumers are told that the sugar crop is three hun- dred thousand tons short, and ivis very apparent that the sugar trust is making the most of it. AFTER all, the casiest and surest way way to win the favor of the Sioux is through his stomach. The commission found this out at Rosebud, and it re- mains to be seen how far extra rations and a plentiful supply of beef will gain the consent of the conservative chiefs at Pine Ridge to the proposed treaty. THE war between New York City and the electric companies is by no means over, Although Mayor Grant has not wavered an instant in his crusade com- pelling the compunies to put their wires underground, he has not found the task ‘an easy one. Despite the fact that he has the law and public opinion to back *him, the corporations have found means to place obstacles in his way. In the end Mayor Grant will win the fight. e New York Worldis not pleased with tha selection of Mr, Brice as ohairman of the democratic national committae. It pictures him enthroned, holding a sceptre surmounted with & bag of money, whilo above his crowned head isa rainbow rvesting on money bags, and it asks: *‘Is Plutoerat Brice, of Wall street, the proper leader for Jeffersoninn demoeracy in a fight against phe wmoney power?” On the other hand, the New York Sun cou- siders the choice of Mr. Brice to have been wise. Thus do the democrats “get together.” No mun in Washington is 1n greater demand than General Rusk, secretary of agriculture, As the time for state and county fairs draws near the invita- - ~tions to visit and address the fairasso- elations pour in upon him from overy portion of the country. The secretary is apractical agriculturist,and the farmers of the country ara not only desivous of knowing the fivst chief of the depart- ment which has their intevgsts in care, but they wish also to get the benefit of his views. Secretary Rusk, no doubt, fully approciates the wide consideration tbus shown him, but he would nead to ‘be ubiguitous to respond to one-tenth of the invitations, and as the worl of or- zing the department is considera- ; he will be compelled to forego most of the fair courtesies profiered hiw. THE ALTON'S WITHDRAW AL, The ‘“gentlemen’s agroement’” has received another blow in the announce- ment by the Chieago & Adton company, that it will withdraw from the Tnter- State Commerce Railway association a month hence. It is impossible to say how much of a surprise this will be to railway circles. The attitude of the Alton for some time has been n threat- ening one, and it is notimprobable that what it has done has been expected. In that event the immediate effoct mny not be serious, but it would seem that the ultimate consequonces to tho association must be. In leav- ing the association the purpose of the Alton of course is to proceed alter the dats of its withdrawal in absoluts independence of all othar ronds and to make u fight a all competitors for trafiic which it is ung got undor present circamstances. It is unnocos- sary to say that this foreshadows a rate war which v yon after July 15 may assume large dimensions. The communication of the Aiton offi- cials announcing the decision to with- draw from tho n throws the responsibility for the action upon the t. IPaul. Not more than aweek ago it was deeidnd by the ex; the Inter-Stato Commer A ciation that the St Paul should give the Alton a share of its live stock traf- fic, nnd this it agroad to do. Ttappaars, however, that no effort has been male on the part of tha Paul to comply with the decision of the board, and the association having no power to enforee it, the Alton management aceept the al- ternative of making an independent contest for the trafiic. Not only is there mado a charge of bad faith against the St. Panl so far as the association is con- cerned, but there is the graver charge, if possible, that the company has been making secret inducoments to shippers to patronize its line, which may involve o violatron of the inter-state comrorce law. Perhaps the most significant sentence in the communication of the Alton management is this: “The agreement has tied the hands of those who com- plied with its provisions, and has en- abled others to obtain unfar advan- tages over them.” What other com- panies, it any, feel similarly aggrieved with the Alton, will very likely soon be disclosed, but in any event the dissolu- tion of the experimental association seems imminent. Meantime the Alton company proposes to pursue its own course under thelaw for securving its fair share of traflic, and the results will have great interest both for the rail- roads and the publie. THE civil service commiss ing if not ambitious, and its d bring the appointments of the census bureau under its control is likely to meet with great opposition. Congres- sional patronage brokers will not give up the appointment of census takers without a lively contest. nssoci AN EARLY FIGHT. The contest already entered upon by the democracy over the question of the next presidential candidate of the party appears premature, yet it is being carried on with a good deal of vigor. The inciting causec is the well-under- stood fact that the democrats of New York have two candidates in ex-Presi- dent Cleveland and Governor Hill, and that the supporters of each are very earnest and determined. Were the democracy of the Empire state unani- mous for the ex-president there would probably be little discussion of the mat- ter .in the vparty generally, but such” is mnot the case. Governor Hill has a very large and vigorous fol- lowing in New York, and from all pres- ent indications it does not propose to give him up with as little resistance as was shown last year. His friends seem determined to keep him in the field, at whatever hazard to the peace and se- curity of the party,and this has aroused his opponents to an early offort to drive him out of the field. The most active and uncompromising of these is the St. Louis Lepubhe. That journal regards Governor Hill as ut- terly untit, mentally and moratly, tobe the candidate of its party in the next presidential contest, and it does not hesitate to say so in the plaincst possi ble terms. By way of vindicating i judgment the Republic bas been printing democratic opinions on the question of the next candidate of the party, among them those of editors in the south and southwest. These show an almost unan- imous opposition to the New York gov- ernor. Very generally these editors express the belief that his nomination for the presidency would be a grave mistake, some of them declaring that it would involve the inevitable defeat of the party. The Iepublic appears to have pretty clearly established the fuct that Governor Hill has at this time extremely little support outside his own state. and perhups two or three in New Eng- land, but will his friends care anything about this demonstration? Will they lose any of their courage or determini- tion in hissupport because of this knowl- edge? Probably not. There is a point in the opinions elicited by the St. Louis journal that may provo somewhat disconcerting to the friends of Mr. Cleveland, That is the widely “extended view that the demoerati ety should seek its next candidate in the west. The quite gen- eral sentiment amonz the democratic editors of the south and south- west is that the party cught not to make the mnext campaign hinge on three or four northern states, and that the wost and tho south uld co- operate 1 rdless of the wishes of the east. It is evident that the desire to break the solid republican west is un- permost in the minds of muny repre- sentative democrats, and the feeling is likely to realize a considerable growth within the next three years, sl TH E NEW INDIAN COMMISSIONER, There was a strong elfort made to - duce the president to retain Mr. Oberly as commissioner of (ndian affairs. Th vhilanthropists who make the Indian an objeet of their special concern brought all their influence to bear in behalf of Oberly, claiming that he had shown exceptional ability in dealing with the Indian question, thut he had THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JUNE 17, 1880, given it the most careful study and thoroughly understood it, and that it would be n misfortune to the govern- mentand the Indians to loso his services, But Mr. Oberly will retire from the posi- tion at the close of the present month, and will be succeeded by Colonel T. J. Morgan, who was a momber of the rogiment commanded by President Har- rison. Mr. Oberly was mer of Iydian a yoar ago, and doubtless in many respocts ho has been the means of goot to the ser- vice, but ho has been chargad with sub- verting its needs to the gool of ths party. Unguestionably he gavo more tion to the dutios of tha position than did his predecessor, and had alsoa more intelligent idea of the Indian question, but ho is a very strong pavti- ,and it is by no moans inerediblo that he made the position to soms ex- tent subservient to the interosts of “his party. Bub whatever may be the fact to this, tho assump- tion that Mr. Oborly was indispensahle to the servico, or that a ropublican of equal ability and fit coald not he found to fill tho position, was one which tha president could not aceopt, and after earefully socking tha right man he appe d to have fouad him in Cu onel Movgan, Tne new commissionor of irs has long boon engagod in edusa- tional wo! and has also been identi- fied with the lahor of bottaring the ¢ commis- ns 353 Indian af- is useful The Boston of hi that ho is by charactor for the post to which lhe has beon ap- pointed. is expericnce has given him a definite and concise knowledge of the ren! needs and erying evils of the service bo trusted to deal . Those tor anl qualifications heartily commend his ap- pointment. The time is not remote, there is rea- son to believe, when the Indian problem will prosent comparatively fow difficul- ties.

DButthere isstill a groat daul to be done,before this is accom- plished, and the'duties yoi to be per- formed are as delicate and difiicult as any that have precedod them.

As foreign legislation against the importation of lard was inspired by the warfare made in this country upon compound lard, so the movement in Eogland for the ex- clusion of American beef, ostensibly on the ground of protacting consumers against disensed meat, finds its exeuso in the legislation adopted by sor states and proposed in others for lu ing tho dressod beel from othor statos on the score of ydang from d Thus do our nar and selfish devices return to plagus us, The attempt to ex- clude American. beef from lagland o few yoars ago was met by a popular opposition 80 vigorous that it was speed- ily abandoned, It was well understooi then to be wholly in the interest of the English prolucers, and to mean inev itably higher and less moeat for masses. Doubtless the prosont off he- ¢ has the same basis, for there is noclaim that diseased American meat has been nt to England., but in view of tho fu that we b to an extent d dited our own product th is danger that the popular opposition to the present move- ment for excluding it from the Bnglish market will not baso general orso vigor= ousas bafore.

FORCIBLE The Board of Public Lands and Build- ings Takes Exceptions to the Fi- nanciering of Our General Assembly, RATHER REMARKS. 1029 > Smeer, LINCOLN, June 16, During a very recant sitting of the board of public lands and buildings, Tis Ber rep- resentative had the ploasurs of listening to an unusually interesting discussion botween sowo of 1ts members, The subject undor considdration was that of the cxpensos of tho state governmont. At the timo, the board Wi ndit and allowing moath claims of the, state institutions, and as itom after itom was passed upon, some of tho interjec tions used in signifying assent or conaemna- tion were somowhat amusing, though lack- ing in digaity. One would hardly think that the staid state dignitarios, who compose the very important board of public lanas and buildings, would chango “pshaw” and “darn it” into “h—11" and “d--n it,"" “that’s high- way robbery,” but T tell you they put away their Sunday school bibs long ago. But Tar Bee representative intends to cast no reflec- tions in making thisstatoment for he bolioves that there is a time that emphiasis is highly necessary, and that study for words to make 4 statement eiphatio is more nice than wise. 13ut to tho controversy, “I'll give the state 000 per year for the privilege of purchusing thoe supplies for the state institutions,” said a momber of the board, *“and, moreo Il bond mysolf to savo the stateimonoy on the basis of tho £tate's expenses auring tho past year.” “But you can't do it,” dryly remarked another; 0i8 N0 law that provides for such a deal, “I know that well enough, but my object in making the statement was to bring the at- tention of the board to tho alarming Axponse that comes upon the state irom month to month, and it is stoadily growing. It seems to we that dealers vio with each other puttingit on the state just because the state r paymaster.,” is suggests tho folly," quietiy re- marked avothor member, “of locating state institutions here and thore and everywhere. It simply gives “Tom, Dick and Harry” a chance at the public teat. The lawmakers of Nebraska must como to it soonor or later. A “purchase and supply " belongs to the pressing needs of the te, and overy state oflicer ought to urge this upon the next general assemy A law creating one ought certainly to be enacted, and, my word for iv, the general squeeze on the public teat by dealers would cease.” ‘Lot me say,” chipped in still another, “thata board of public charities also bo- longs to our needs. While it has 1ts abusos in other states, whero it exists, I am very sure the good results would exceed tho bad. It might have been a good idea to call upon Dr. Billinzs to nave woculated a little sease into the 1ast august assemblage. T want to say that it wasn't a great deal ahead of the the body of two years ago. Tho boys got reckless during the closing days of the session and the results will bacome manifest by and by » “If Billings had been called upon to do the inoculating act,” observed No. 1, **he would had to have improve on his work on hogs.” This closed the discussion and the board settled down to business LaxcorN BUREAv OF TR OMATIA B2, } 1n Trouble Acain.
