This last statement, however, contains considerable chaff, Oy course when Minneapolis and not St. Paul takes whirl at the census fig- ures of the Flour city, we must take it for granted that the increase in popula- tion during the past year has been more rapid than the rise of the ther- .mometer under a boiling July sun.

Never before in the history of that great young commonwealth were the pros- pects as good for an abundant harvest. The farming sott'@ nents of South Da- kota are as denso as those of Kansas, and this year's crop of small grain promises to be as abundant as ever it has been in that section. THE bank clearings, the railroad earn- ings and the foreign commerce of the country indicate thata larger volume of business is being done this year than at the corresponding period a year ago. Nevertheless there is a universal com- plaint that 1 mauy departments of trade the margin of profit continues av the minimum. This probably explains why large amounts of capital still re- main in the hands of 1nvestors waiting an opportune moment to go into that industry which promises an adequate return, E—— THE attempt of Union Pacific agents to bulldoze and frighten parties who have settled near Cut-off lake,on what may be termed No-Man's lana, should not be countenanced by anybady. The Union Pacific begins at or near the transfor depot on the Iowa side. It has no legal existence in Omaha excepting on the tracks leading to and from the Union Pacifio shops. Its right of way does not extend to Cut- off lake, and the only object it can have in taking possession would be to hold the entire river tront from Florence to Bouth Omaha against all comers. What else could they want with the land near Cut-off lake, R W R << T 5 AN U, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1889, WAIT FOR THE INVESTIGATION. According to the most trustworthy authority the investigation of affairs in the pension bureau ordered by the sec- retary of the interior was requested by Commissioner Tanner. Undoubtedly it is made with the full approval, if not by direction, of the president. In all such matters, where honesty and thorough- ness are evidently intended, justice to all concerned requires that public criticism and opinion be held in abeyance until the investigation is completed and the result offi- cially announced. But this fair and proper principle is not being re- garded in the prasent case. The news- papers which feel called upon to cast odium upon the administration under any and all circumstances, whether there be justification or not, are intimat- ing that there 18 no sincerity in the investigation, and that it will be a whitewashing affair. It is alleged that the prosident is not in sympathy with it, that the officials who are conducting theinvestigation are weak men who will be easily influenced, that the sec- rotary of the interior is not in earnest, and that it will be easy enough to find a fow scapegoats on whom to load the blame and let Tanner down oasy. All this is absolutely gratuitous. Not only is it without warrant in anything that has occurred, but the entire course of the secratary of the interiorsince the reported condition of affairsin the pen- sion office came to his kpowledge has proved beyond question the desire of the administration to ascertain the whole truth as to what has been going on, and to purge the office of those who are shown to have failed of their duty or been dishonest. Before the in- vestigation was ordered the sec- retary had divected the dis- missal of a nuinber of pen- sion bureau officials of whose mis- conduct there was no question, aud it is to be presumed that this was done with the full knowledge and concurrence of the president. A matter of such im- portance as *this would certainly be a subject of cabinet deliberation, so that the proceedings taken may safely be supposed to have the approval of tho entire administration. The scandal necessarily involved the head of the bu- reau and most others connected with it, and the only proper way to reach the truth was through an investigation. It would doubtiess have been agrea- ble to the opponents of the administration it the commis- sioner of pensions had been ruth- lessly dismissed without being given an opportunity to vindicate himself, but all fair-minded men will approve the course that has been pursued. It may be 'granted that Commissioner Tanner has not in all respects shown the wisest discretion. He has undoubt- edly made mistakes, and his unneces- sarily open and.vigorous manifestations of zeal in the matter of securing what he believed to be just to pensioners may have encouraged certainofficialain his bureau to do unwarrantable things for the benefit of themselves aud their friends. - But we doubt it even his bit- terest personal and political enemies believe him to have been dishonest, or that he gave any countenanco to the abuses in his office for which some have already been punished by dismissal from servico und others are likely to be. The pension burean is the most extensive under the government, and its opera- tions more various and complicated than that of any other. It must be quite imposssible for the commissioner to be familiar with all the de- tails of the vast work. A great deal must nocessarily be confided to subordinates, and collusion among these might easily result in abuses which the commissioner could not at once discover. The investigation now being prosecuted, there is every fair reason to believe, will probe to the bot- tom the alleged abuses, and justice re- quires that Commissioner Tanner be not condemned, either as incompetent or dishonest, pending the result of the investigation. It is undoubtedly the purpose of the administration that no guilty man shall escape. THE EXTENT OF IT. Mr. Richard J. Hinton, who has been assigned to the senate committee on ir- rigation %o assist in the work of organ- izing the inquiry and other details, says thas the question of irrigation means the reclamation from aridity to fertility of an area out of which eight states, each as large as Indiana, can be made. At least one hundred and twenty-five million acres of land out of over eight hundred million acres can be, within a few years, brought$ under oultivation at no great cost. 'This would mean—taking the generally accepted fact that twenty- five nores of ierigated:land, properly lo- cated, is equal to one hundred acres of ordinary farming land -~ twenty-five million farms, sufficient to support one hundred millions of pevple. In the opinion of Mr. Hinton the expense of such reclamation, which ts quite within the bounds of possibility, need amount to no more than fitty million dollars. “It is not mecessary to wore than sug- gest,” he observes, ‘‘that this agricul- tural population and cultivation would bring am equal population in towns and manufacturing and mining centers. Thus practical irrigation will more than doublo the present pop: lated area of the United States. The area which the senate committee is soon to examine iy alraost wholly the property of the United Sistes. With- out irrigation it must rémain largely a region of a few great cattle ranches and fewer mines, and sparsely settled. having no great material value as com- pared with the balance of the country, On the other hand, every irr:gated acre will be worth from five to fifty times a8 much @8 ordinary farm- ing land elsewhere. This has al- ready been demoustrated in California ond Colorado, and in fact wherever irrigation is practiced. The experience is uniform that land watered in this way is far more valuable than the aver- age of ordinary farming lands. = Of course the. estimated possibilities from irrigating the arid regions of the west may be somewhat exaggerated, and even if they be umquestioningly con- ceded,it would be a matter of generations of time before they were fully realized But allowing & considerabls margin for overestimates of what may ultimately be accomplished, and properly omitting from consideration the matter of time, the plan siill commends itself as one of the very greatest importance to the n ~- tion. A project that contemplates turning arid wastes into fertile regions eapable of supporting a population but half as large as that now in the country can be said to be inferior in importance tonone other asking the serious atten- tion of the American people. With abundant means at command, we noed not leave this task to be performed by a succeeding generation, if we shall find it a practicable undertaking. 1t has been given out time and again by tho city council that no street would be graded and paved the same season, and that all water and sewer connec- tions to the property line must be laid within a specified time before paving operations began. The recent action of that body in ordering certain streets to bo graded and thirty days later ordering the same to be paved, would indicate that the city fathers had swallowed their good intentions and precepts regardless of consequences. This is, however, a serious matter, and one which should receive serious consideration. The rule as laid down should have been strenuously enforced. The experience with undermined streets and the testimony of the board of public works, the city engineer and paving experts should have taught the council that a permanent pavement can- notsafely be laid on newly graded strects. Depressions that have been filled with ourth are spongy and yielding and it is the height of folly to lay a pavement in such places until the earth shall have been allowed time to pack solidly. The honeycombed condition of many of our streets can be traced to this very defect. Where a base of concrete has been laid on newly filled earth, the soil set- tles leaving pockets and air chambers. During heavy rains water finds its way under the spongy soil and following sewer and water trenches gouges out deep dopressions, In this way pave- ments have been undermined, sewer and waterpipes displaced, and the city is constantly cailed upon to expend thousands of dollarsannually in making expensive repairs. By using proper precaution,the coun- cil could remedy this condition in the future, It is therefore foolhardy to order the laying of pavement on new! made streets that will have to be r paired nearly every time a rain occurs, at great cost to the taxpavers of the city. Tur New England trip of President Harrison has been arranged, and he will take it early in August, his des- tination being Bar Harbor, where it is understood he will remain some time. Apart from the fact that Washington is not a desirable place in which to live in summer, under the most favorable conditions, is the consideration that the residence of the president is one of the most uncomfortable and un- desirable in the national capital. Congress, 1t is said, will be asked to provide a better home for the president, either by an addition to the white house or apart from it, leaving the old executive mansion for purely official business. This great country ought to comforta- bly house its executive, and a reasona- ble expenditure for this purpose would not be disapproved by anybody. The white house is unfitted for a residence, 4nd money expended on it for this pur- pose is wasted. Bar Harbor is one of the most healthful resorts on the At- lantic coast, and a soujourn there will doubtless prepare the president for the more arduous duties that will confront him a few months hence. OBJECTICNS are being raised to the proposed scheme to build storage reser- voirs for irrigation in the mountains of Colorado, on the ground that they would be a constant menace to the cities and farms in thgt vicinity. While the danger may now be small, it is claimed that within a few years the country is likely to become thickly populated and a disaster similar to the Conemaugh flood would create terrible havoc. There is evidently something in this, although the system contemplated aims to pro- vide many small rather than one or two large storage reservoirs in the mountain defiles, No matter how scientifically constructed and strongly built they may be, there is a subtle power in the prossure and erosion of water which will woeaken any dam, unless constantly in- spected and carefully repaired. E—— ThHE telegram sent to the con- stitutional conventions of the new states by Mr, Elliott F. Shepherd, pre- sident of the Ameriean Sabbath union, asking them to incorporate in the.con- stitutions a clause providing for Sabbath observance, appears likely to receive very little attontion. The Washington convention gave it the courtesy of a reference to a committee, where it will undoubtedly be buried, and so far as reported the North Dakota and Montana conventions have paid no attention to it. It would not be sur- prising it it were regarded as anim- pertinence rather than the expression of a kindly interest in the people of the new states. — Born the republican national com- mittee and the democratic uational committee are going to make a hard fight to capture the four now states. That much is already settled. While the brunt of the battle is to take place in Washington and Montana, which the democrats claim to be disputed ground, they do not propose to let the fall election in the two Dakotas go by default, The spectacle to the rest of the country will be highly inspiring, and the battle of the giants will be a mill which for absorbing interest will throw the Sullivan-Kilrain match far in the shade.

They are a good deal better able to pay their bilis than the Herald, Thera are over 500,000 acres of farming land in Plymouth county, and at most only about 25,000 to 30,000 acres folt the storm, and some of that only slightly.

But they came Nno nearer renching An agrooment (than did the principals, therefore, it was decided to call in a third party, Hore was where tha roal trouble commenced.

In ord(nnrg 0asos, the com~ panies fear local sympathy for the olaimant. Afterwards, Logio refused any man from Chioago, and by shrewd manipulation finally got the case into his own owrcle of business acquaintances in New York. There he got an award, but the companies foel that thoy have been wronged and propose to find out how he got it.

The bishop ro- viewed the standing of tho church to-day in all parts of the world, and found food for in- finite satisfaction in the wonderful progress made during the last contury. Tnstead of parsocuting to death evory min- ister of Christ who dared onter his dominion, the emperor of China thirty years ago signed A treaty, by whose terms it was admitted that the christian roligion elevates aud improves all men who accept 1t, and which also pro- vided that no profossor of the faith of Chirist, foreign or native converts, should be moluul*l on account of his religon, A cefitury ago Tndia was tightly held in the grasp of that most infamou: all tyrannical corporations, the British t India company.

Nortit Pratre, Neb., July 24.—To the Editor of Trn Ber: Governor Lowry, of Mississippi, in an interview telegraphed from Jackson, declares that he is ‘“taking such steps as will in the end bring all the parties, principals and awendants of tho Sullivan-Kilraln prize fight to justice.” Governor Lowry seems to have takon it vary much to heart that he was overreached and outwitted not only by the bruisers, but by the railroad company that so thoroughly did their part in transporting thno sluggers 10 and from the battle ground, Tho governor denounces 1n_the strongest torms the part played by the Northcastern railrond company, and proposes to institute procoed- ings for the forfeiture of the charter of that road. “In all my experience as s publio man,” says the governor—“and I have had considorable exporience, having sorved in both branchesof the legislature ana am serv- ing the lst year of my second torm as gove ernor—I have navor known such an utter dis- regard of duty, such a detlance of law and morals.” “This extra-sensitive efforescence of Gove ornor Lowry would be ludicrous us com- pared with the indifferonce, “the utter dis- regard of duty” and “defiance of law and morals” uccorded by him to the doings of the bulldozing, “nigger slayers of Mississippi, if one could forget the horrible, blood-stained scenes enacted right ballot-box-stufing Choyenne on a trip of inspection. LOGIE'S FIRE LOSS. Insurance Companies Intend to Ex- amine Into It. It was a prominent, f4re msurance agent who said yesterday thatthe various compan- ies interested proposc to vindicato themsolves beforo this community by bringing suit to ascertain what methods A. R. Logle pursued in obtaining the award recently made to him on bis l0ss by the burniug of the old Lehman storeon KFarnam street, “Certain papers have announced,” he said, ‘‘that the New York board of arbitration gave him more than he was entitlod to. I want to inform you that there is no such board. At the time Logie was burned out many comments were mudo not altogether favorablo either, wbout his loss after the adjustors had failed to arrive at a settlement, arbitration was resorted to rather than a court of justice. Wo agreed that tho matter shouid be submitted to two disinterested men. Mr, Logie selected an intimate personal friend from New York, while the companies chose a Chicago man, in whom they had contidence.

At the risk of being ncoused of swaying the bloody shirt. 1 would like to ask Governor Lowry if, 0s a member of the Mississippi legislature, ho asked for an investirating committes on isholn massucre a few yearsagol As or, did ho take any action in the case, or muke any effort to arrest the perpetrators of tho outrage near Arcola, Miss,, lust D ccmber, when seven colored servants of Colonel Paxton were strung up and killed without even legal investi- gation, becauso it was thought ono or two of them had set the house ou fire, and it couid not be ascertained which were the guilty ones, if, indeed, any of them were guilty? Has Governor Lowry investigated the “nigger hunt” by the arimed bauds of whito gontlemen(?) at Wahalok, Miss,, a few wooks later, where a score of nearocs were shot down 1 cold blood! How about the supprossion of the nogro vote in Minsis- sippi, aud the scores of peoplo, white and black, murdered because of their political opinions since 18751 Perhaps, aftch all, the governor don't mean J what ho says; and in any caso it is some satisfaction to know that he is making it lively for tha prizo fightors and their frionds, Eut the less deflance of law and morals," etc., the betier he will feel six months {rom now. XX, The Makers of a Well Known Churn write: ¢We have been often asked by dairymen: ‘What is the very best soap to use to properly cleanse dairy utensils?’ We have invariably replied, the ‘Ivory,’ but as for giving specific dircctions for washing dairy utensils, it is really summed up in making them thoroughly clean. Boiling water must be used, and that, in con- nection with Ivory Soar, will thoroughly cleanse and deodorize the wood, leaving it clean and sweet for further use. Any dairy utensils half cleaned will spoil the delicate aroma of ‘gilt edge butter,” which may be perfect in other respects.” A WORD OF There are many white soaps, each represented to be * they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the pecu WARNING, fuil s good as the ‘Ivo! iar and remarkable qu; of the genuine, Ask for “Ivory” Soap and insist upon getting it.
