Average Cireulat for March, 24,923 ——————————————————————— ONLY one more step is to be taken by the city council preliminary to submit- ting the bond question to a vote and the people trust thut the council will act promptly. Tar amendments made by the council in the Nebraska Central linance are eminently prover and cannot reasonably be objected to by the promoters of tho entorprisc. WHAT *a member of parliament” calls Balfour's crowning’success in con- nection with his management of the Irish question is regarded as a dismal failure by Gladstonians and home rulers. DEMOCRATIC conventions held lately have notacemed it wise to criticise the president’s foreign policy. They bogan along this line in the early part” of the year, but the great body of American people did not concur. THE prospect of a change from regi- mental 1o lineal promotions in the army is by no means flattering. Tho senate will not accept the house or Outhwaite bill and the house promises to bo equally obstinate with regard to the senate or Proctor measure, THE justices of the peace of Omaha propose to test the question through the courts as to whether or not unsuccessful litigants can claim their exemptions from paying costs of suits, The move- mentis all vight if it does not result in making cost mills of the justice courts, It will remove the inducement which a corrupt justice may now have to find ngainst the party most likely to pay the costs of the litigation. A DANGEROUS amendment to the rivor and harbor bill has been agreed to in the house. It authorizes the secre- tary of war to perform work without awarding contracts where, in his judg ment, this will be advantageous. This opens the door to vast expenditures and places altogether too much power in the hands of a cabinet officer, Under the amendment river and harbor im- provements can bo made of great par- tisan advantage by ashrewd secretary. Tho contract system is opon to serious objections, but the tvime has not yet come for supplanting it hy placing so many millions in the control of the War department to be used at the discretion of the sccrctary. A PROPOSITION befors contemplates adding thi the council ty-one electric lights to those now burning at tho ex- pense of the city. At the present rate of compensation this means $5425 a your additionnl cost for electric lights, Tho cost ..1 lighting the city in 1890 3 for gas lights and 810,811 for gasoline, or u total of $24,634 for the en- lire city. In otherwords the thirty-one electric arc lights would cost one-fourth as much as the lighting of the whole city did in 1500, But even if the coun- cil should decide to add these eolectric lights to the general street lighting system, why should not the city receive the benefit of reduced rates on these lamps? We ave now paying at loast $75 a yoar moro for every ure lnmp than we should pay, allowing the company a vory liberal margin, On thirty-ono lamps this would mean a saving of §2,326 a your, or more than enough to puy the salury of u first class olectrician and a helpe T wen who are most active in the cause of Mr, Cleveland are those who held oftice under his adwministration. Mr. Fairchild in New York, Harrity in Pennsylvanin, Don Dickinson in Michi- gan, Vilus in Wisconsin, are tho leading advoeates of Cleveland’s nomination, three of them having been members of the ex-president’s cabinet. These gen- tlemen could not do otherwise without exposing themselves to the charge of Ingratitude, and this reflection some- what reduces the value of their zeal in behalf of tho ex-president not men of commanding irfluence in the party, and while they have some local strength it is not likely that they will be able to exert very much influence upon the national convention, wheve they will be antagonized by much shrewder and more skillful politiciuns, All the indications are that the national democratic convention will develop more schoming and wire pulling than has characterized any political conven- tion in the last thirty years, and in work of this kind the Cleveland leaders would bave little ehance with such politicians as Hill and Gormau. They are | A STRINGENT POLICY, The secretary of the navy has sent out instructions to the cruisers in Bering and they require u stringent forcement of the regulations. It appears to the view of the administ fon that if the United States must damages to British poachers at least it will have the satisfaction of driving them out of the waters and the gain of pro- tecting the fur seals from pelagic hunt a6 ens be ing. Under the arran a warning heforo seizure but this year the seizure whether there was a or not. In 1891 Great pay damagoes to her sealers keeping them out of Bering therefore was entiticd to a voice in the way of dealing with them. Tho vequirement of warning enablod some vessels to dodge the government craft and be soaling in Bering sea before they received there was an instance in vessel refused to recognize the president’s proclamation ittempted to cruise in the forbidden waters until a British varship sbould give the required warn- will take its sment of last year was required, is to be made previous Britain for sea, and at once, notice was to rin notice, and which a poaching and ing. Now our government own course, aud it has determined to sieze ull trespassers at once and to hand them under our ing to their over for punishment either laws or the British, accord- nationalit Any vessel furnished with a sealing outfit found 1n Ber sea will be captured, and this disposes of the iden of fitting out under a foreign flag, at least for the present season, s Under the new regulutions it will not ary, in order to justify the selzure of a vessel, to find it actually en- ged in sealing, It will be sufticient cause for capture that a vessel is pro- vided with a seal outlit, which is one of the noticeablo chan Tho evi- dence nccepted hitherto has been tho xistence of fresh skins, showing that they must huve been taken in Bering 1, but even that is not required this year. Itisenough that a vessel is pre- pared for unlawful to warrant its being seized. Th no doubt that this is the proves policy, because only in this way can the sea be effectively policed, g be neces sealing re-can be and the time has gone by for tempori/ ing in this business. If ofter having received timely and ample warning, hoth through the president’s proclama- tion and from the British government, the Canadian poachers invade the for- bidden waters or even threaten to doe so, they 1be summavily dealt with. This government having had a new responsibility thrust upon it, in the con- ditions imposed by Lord Salisbury in renewing the modus vivendi, must pro- tect its interests to the fullest extent. CLEVELAND'S PRESENT STRENGTH. Twelve states and the District of Columbia, having a total representation n the national demoerat nvontion of 304 votes, have instructed their deloga- tions for Cleveland. Assuming that the instractions will ha oboved the ex-presi- shoul dent now hasa little move than one third of the delegates to the national to support him, of votes in the con- under the two- successful candidate In order to he nominated \Ir « nd must got 205 from the thirty states and four territories which are yot to choose dele- gates, the total representation of theso in the convention being 518 votes. According to the wostimates of his friends he is reasonab'y sure of securing instructed delegations from at least thirteen of the states which have not chosen delegates, and whose representi- tion in the convention will be 202 votes, namely: Missouri, Delaware, Texas, Ohio, Montuna, Maine, North Dakota, West Virginia, South Dakota, Orogon, New Hampshire, Washington and Cali- fornia. It is assumed, also, by the friends of the ex-president that he will get half of the twelve votes from Connecticut, and may have the twenty-six votes from lowa. Upon this figuring Mr. Clove- land is given 508 votes, or with in ninety one of the numbor aecessary to nomi- nate, with twelve southern and two sil- convention pledged The total numbe: vention will be thirds rule must 898 and tho rece] votes ver states still to be considered. The southern states: have a total of 236 votes, and the Cleveland men assumo that he will certaiuly get a fair share of the delegntes from those stutes, though possibly not enough to give him two- thirds of the votes of the convention. ‘I'he prosent showing is cortainly en- couraging to the friends of Cleveland, and the results reasonably to be ex- pected in the states which have yet to choose delegates warrant a feeling of confidenco in his nomination For nearly forty years it has boon one of the generally accepted laws of the democ- racy that president iy entitled to two-thirds when he com majority vote, so that if Cleveland should secure a bare majority on the first ballot, as it now scems very likely he will do, recognition of the long-os- tablished principle noted will give him the nomination, But it is quite possible that the esti- mates of the friends of the ex-president way fail. The opposition to him is not idle, Cowmbinations are b formed. Able and influential politicians strongly procluim their conviction that it would be futal to the party to nominate Clove- lund, for the reason that whatever his strength olsewhere he could not cuery New York. Hillis out of the race, but he is still an important factor in the sit- uation, and nobody can teil what he will do with the influence at his com- mand, Favorable. thevefore, as the out- look for Mr. Cleveland now appears to be, during the six weeks before the meeting of the national convention there will be opportunity for a great change. Tho masses of the democracy are un- doubtedly with Cloveland, but the shrewdest politicians of the party are not and these are the men who will manage the national convention, ——— S TO HEATING SCHOOL HOUSES, There is no valid oxcuse for expend- ing any wmore of the school fund in junkering tours to inspect heaung ap- plin “The safe thing to do is not to expcriment with any new-fangled de- vice. Itis the experience of builders that the most extravagant claims of say- ing lfuel und improving ventilation are a democratic candidate for ry the necess: ands a cle 1003, THE made for avery heat generator whether it is hot air, hot water or steam, These fuel-saving and perfect-ventilat. ing devices are very much like patent gosburners whose vendors guarantee to save 60 per cent of the gas, When the year rolls around the gus metor has registered about the same quantity of gas ns had been consumed by the com mon burners. What the board should doin regard to heating appliances is to adopt the best heaters known, even if they do cost the most money. As a general thing the best is tho cheapest, and when we sny the best we menn the appliance that has after the most extensive use in the principal citios proved itself to be the Inc most satisfactory dentally wo would suggest that hot air furnaces be given preference, oven if the plantcosts more or than steam. Any or- dinary janitor is qualified to feed a hot less air furnace, but it kes an engineer to manage a steam plant. Unless compe- tent engineers are empioyed there is visk of explosions that would shattor the buildings and might cause loss of pre- cious lives, No competant janitor, and that from $75 to $100 a tenance uf act as enso of main- school engineer will means an inc month in the steam-heated every house. Another thing self, and 1 is the desivability of uniform heat- ing appliances that will make a transfor of janitors from one school building to another more practicable. It stands to reason, also, that any manufacturer will furnish heating appliances for half o dozen school buildings at a lower rate than he would for a single building. suggests i A METHODIST NATIONAL UNIVERSITY. Among other topics of specinl interest to be considered by the general confer enco fow will attract more attention than that relating to the proposed na tional Methodist university at Wash- ington, D. . With his accustomed vigor Bishop Hurst, who resides in the capital, has within the last two pushed this pet iden to the point whero nothing remains to its S8 except the favorable endorsement of tho entorpriso by tho supreme legislativo body. Tho citizens of Washington upon the theory that the great church would back the university with its moral and financial support donated a most attractive site for campus and buildings and steps have been taken in that city to subscriptions in a considerable sum toward ing out the plan. The clerieal and lay promoters of this enterprise desire that an endowment of $10,000,000 shall be raised for the in- stitution. The board of bishops have assented to the plans proposed and the church papers have very generally ap- proved them. The Methodist people have taken hold of the subject with considerable enthusiasm, though sub- been large or merous. A start has been wmade in this direction, however, and with the impetus which general conference en- dorsement will give the movement it expected that the necessavy funds to in- sure success will be forthcoming. One idea which it is hoped will be adopted, but which is antagonized in certain quarters, is to rally the whole church of America and the world to the support of the university by making the Sunday fellowing October 12, 1892, Co- lumbian university day, with the pectation that enthusinsm enough can be aroused meantime to secure large contributions from. the membership on that oceasion. The only reason why this suggestion may not be approved is that the church is now calling upon its congregations for large sums of money for the maintenance of a great many smaller institutions and the fear is ex- pressed that other interests may suffer if the national university is pushed with too much vigor. If the Methodist church needs a great modern university to complete its educa- tional equipment, there is no piace in the union so well adapted for it as Washington, as Dr. Bartlett, the emi- nent Presbyterian clergyman of the cap- ital, once remarked: “If a dome were placed ov the District of Columbia, Washington monument could be called a years suc assuro secure i seriptions have not vet n ex- spire and the capital of the nation u uni- versity The government has $32,000,- 000 invested in public institutions for the advancement of knowledgo and expends in maintaining them $7,000,000 annuall, They are fred to the American public. A fow yemrs of life in Washington is of itself a liberal elucation. A university proper to give divection to study and to supplement the public means of acquir- ing information would be an invaluable aid to Methodist students. The Cath- olics have two great schools, George- town college ana the National univer- sity. The Buptists have Columbin uni- versity. Both churches are doing a wrand educational work and the Meth- odists are probably correct from their standpoint of view, in believing that the largest of the Protestant denominations should be represented by an institution with an endowment commensurato with the importance of the covntry. Sk OBLE in a leagthy let- ter explains that his position with ref- erence to furnishing certain correspond - ence relating to the appointmentand re- moval of pension office employes was misinterpreted to the committes by Commissioner Raum through a misun- derstanding of Assistunt Secretary Bus- sey. Headheres to the constitutional objection which was suggested and claims the right to appoint or remove employes without the interference or in- quiry of congress, but being dosirous of aiding the iuvestigation he will cheer- fully furnish the covrespondence asked for, The secretary is to be commenued for this action. No exceutive depart- ment of the government can atford to refuse information relutive to its action upon any matter upon request of con- gross except in the case of authorized treaty negotiations where a revelation of the correspondence might hinder their successful issue. e or WILLIAM has always been wanting” in filial devotion, It is not therefore surprising to learn that he snubbed his grandmother, Queen Victoria OMAHA DATLY MATORS CANDIDACY. Republieans Ventare Upon & Defensive Cmpaign This Year? LWcn News (rep.) It is evident #d overy thinking republican who, for a m#aint, has the suce of the republican patty At heart, that the nomina tion of Mr. Majbrd at this time would bo a calamity, and w8t the party thousands of votes and endadier the entire state ticket. The republicad ‘$arty has no time to give in this campaign to defonding the records of its candidates. Sfarfers agaiust candidates are likely to spring'up in any campaign and can be met and refutelt; but a candidate's bad public record, which has entered into and bocome A part of history caunnov be succossfully met by tho pross or his associates on the stamp. In M. Major's caso there is no defenso to offor. The resords of the Forty-seventh congress, 1583, volume 14, part 4, pagos 3,247 10 8,253, which are in all the public libraries of the country, show that Mr. Majors was investigated by a committeo of that body charged with parpotrating a grave offense, ‘Ihis committee reported to the house of rop- resentutives that they found him (Majors) guilty of the offense complained of, and rec- ommonded that the report of the commnittee, togother with tho evidence takon before them, be turned over to the civil authoritics. Congress at this time was overwnelming republican, Keifer of Ohio (republican) wa speaker. Hon. Tom Reed, ex-speaker, tho present republican leader in conyress, was chairman of the comnittee who returned this verdict against Mr. Majors. Kas- son of lowa (repubtican) was another member of this committee, and this repub- lican congress without a dissenting vote adopted the report of the committee. M. Majors was not tried and condemned by his nolitical cnemies but by mambers of his own political party, Mr. Majors was noever brought beforo a court of justice to answer for this gravoe offense, as 1t was evidenmly oxpected he would bo by the members of the Forty- seventh congress. The attorney general of Nebraska, » Roverts, whose duty it was toderend the good name of the state, was also found guilty, by tha same committes, of aiding Mr.Majors in committing this offens, and the matter was ailowsd to sloep and Mr. Majors to o without further trial. With this record we say Mr. Majors has 1o claims on the republican party ot Nebraska for the nomination of governor Oan ado Folly., New York Sun. On Monday an ardent and 1mpotuous domocratic representativo from Nebraska, the Hon. William Jounings Bryan, exploded a freo trade bomb in the louse of representa tives with interesting rosults. Without previous warning the rulos were suddenly suspended,and the bill making binding twine © was passed. Three democrats voted against it, one being from Wiscousin, Mr. Coburn, one from New York, Mr. Covert, and orio from New Jersey, Mr. Cadmas. Thesa three gentlemen who upon the oc- casion of considering an economic question of no ordinary importanco stepped out of the patn prescribed for them by a far greater uumber of enthusiastic theorists belonging w their party, bad conspicuously beforo them the examplo of a democratic represun- tative who had sigco been put in one of the highest poliical places in the country. In 1800, when the MeKinley bill proposed to re- duce the duty on binding twine to seven- tentbs of a cent a pound, the Hon. Roswell P. Flower protested vigorously against the conscquant injury to the workingmen already eungaged in 1ts production. In 1801 this same stalwart and common sense democrat was clected goverzor of New York by noarly 50, 000 majority. There are more things than tariff smash- ing in which democrats are intoresied. ———— 1Lin the Paddle. eells Jowrnal, Paul Vandervoort is a great man in the alliavce and a leader w the independent movement, He will be one of the leading spirits in the natonal convention of tnat party to be hold in Omaha July 4.

The Hope of Nebraska Republicans is in Patling Togethor, Servard Reporter: The republican state convention did well in iguoring all personal griovances and basing all its acts upon the brood ground of the best interests of the party. All the republicans of the state may perhaps not be pleased with all the acts of the convention, but as no ono can expect al ways to have his own way, the result should be accepted by all as boing for the best in- terests of the party. The only way to suc ceed is to prosent a so/id front to the enomy, without any dissensions, Ropublicans can- notafford to fight among themselves, but should reserve their energios to fight their opponents, By pulling together success is assured, Chappell Register: The party has beon weighe d down by this coutroversy long enough ; in fact, it was run into the ground a long time ago, and we canuot se: what grounds Mr. Richards and his friends have for convnuing it. Tt has bocome a porsonal matter and should be withdrawa from poli- ties. The republican party cannot afford to be burdened with this maiter longer.

Richards will lead a bolt in the Nebraska delegation to Minneapolis on the instructions of the state convention to name Rose- water for member of the national committes for this stato. This is evidently a case where “the wish father to the toought.” We credit Mr. Richards with thut higher senso of hogor whicn would preclude any such line of m‘!{nn. Neithor he nor any other of the four gentlemen elected by the state conven tion would be justified 1n " ignoring its em phatic expression on this subject. Their vin- dication was complete in being created de gates, The mandate of the creator should bo ohoyed, cheerfully, “in the manner and spirit expressed in tho resolution.”” Good faitn, not with I3dward Rosewater, but with the ropublicans of Nobraska—and good poli tics as well—docands a ready acquicsconse. Beatrice Republican: The renublican papers of the stato that persist in censuring tho recent republican stato convention for s action in recommending Rosowater national committooman, are making an error which thoy will regret later intho cam paign. ‘T'he convention was composed of the representativo republicans of tho state, ndafter thoroughly canvassiug the situation, it was the judgment of a largo majority that the intorests of the pavty and the state could best be sub- served by atlempting harmonize the discordant elements, to Thero is nothing to by gained by a continuance of the fight between the republican pavers of the stato and Tus Bk, but a great deal is to be lost.

Tne gentleman quoted above is ono of the best known ranchers in northern Wyoming He continuod : “I think the cattlemen have been unfairly dealt with by the press of the country through ignorance as 1 the real conditions which lod up to the prosent state of affairs. 1 fully believe the cattlomen wora forced to take thesteps they did in order to proteet their property, as all prosecutions under tho law for cattle or horse stealing had been a signal failure, on account of a lack of evi dence against tho rustier, who was alwavs avlo to produce the nocessary evidoucs to prove innocence. Tho rustlers have almost absotute control of the local courts, the grand juries and the machinery \which 15 supposed 10 bring about justice. Let me go back & little uud relate u little history that you and others may know what rustlors ‘are and what led up W the present trouoles. The origin was in 1834, to that time the cattlomen, in order to en- courage some of their cowboys in saviug their wages, gave them permission to buy small bunches of catile, generally steers, and oftentimes they advanced to the boys a year's salary or more t> make the ~ pur chasés. The ocmployers allowed these cattle to run, froe of cost, with their own hords, ' Some of the cowboys who | had gained this favor from their employers, the cattlomen, took advantazo of the uon: | existence of a cattlo Law and lnid claim, oot | openly, but secretly, to all tho mavericks | they ‘found wmong tho herds of thoir om. | ployers, and bogan branding thom as thoeir owi. A maverick i3 un unbranded or taotherless calf. Cousidering tho fact that the maverioks averag ton in every herd of 1,000 cattle, the mavericks which found their way into the small hords owned by the cow- boys was an immense item, while tho | mavericks which reaily belonged to the cow boy herds was so small that any employer could iustuntly traco the improper ac- quisition. A cowooy seldom owued over 200 liead of cattle, and his mav would not be over two a vear. Until this time the mavericks found on the rauge of the various ranches were the rocozuized property of tho braud oceupying the range and wore branded accordingly.” The differont owners never had sy dispute over the branaing of a ! maverick. by butckering the animal for beef to supply the round-up. “Tne round-up takes place every sprin when the various owners with their cow- boys congregate and cut out thewr respective cattle, rebrand and divide the mavericks. You kuow. or should know, thata lur number of herds often run and feed together in common during a season, which economizes help and decreases anxiety and care. To this brandiug of the mavericks by the cowboys, Who Wera appropriating them 10 their own uses, the cattlemen protesied, for it gave the bOYS Loo good a chanco L0 steal the calyes. The mavericks wero clearly the property of tho cattlemen. In Crook county, which adjoins Jonazon, there were up 1o 1534 not over 23) actual settlers, and the small rancher and farmer never allowed —and does not now—eattle 1o drift in with the rango cattle. In 1334 Wyoming, then o territory, passed a law ihat all mavericks found during a roundup should be sold by the duly apsointed roundup foreman, the proceeds of such sales 1o avply on salary aud expenses ot stock inspactors, which ex- pense had heretofore been borne by the | Wyoming Stock Growors association, The stock inspectors were stationed at the differ- ent shipping and stock yards and tneir duty was to protect the interésts of all cattlo own- ors. This act made it & law for any other person thau the roundup foreman to brand a wayerick. Now, right thero began tho serious troule. e boys commenced to get bolder and not being_ satisfind with a chance | waverick oftentimes would create one that is, they would separate and drive the cow from the calf and await a chunce to brand the calf, or worso possibly kill the cow 1 order to make an opportunity About this time the lurge not havo 1o steal the calf. owaners concluded that they would in their employ any person who owner of eattle. Thoy announc full vaiuo wera willing 1o purchase ana pay for all cattlo that their cmployes possesscd. The better element sold; othors did not, but located small ranches of ‘their own and inore boldly set out to rustle and steal live stock, | | tho I£ any doubt uroso it was settled | uttor failure to succesafully prosecute any stock thief or rustior, had the effeot of con tering in the northern portion of Wyoming o gang as bad aud bold as it1s possible to imagine. <1 want it distinotly understood rustler and rancher do not go togethor at all," coutinued whe \Wyoming flan A rancher 18 a rospoctablo settler who wishes to avail himsell of the privilegos of citizen ship and locate and claim 160 acres of land under his rights, buitd himself & homo, raiso some live stock, and do farming and Sottle with the wntention of helping build up & new country.
