THE Hon. Rowland E. Trowbrldge ,

by President Hayes to succeed Hart

ately taken sick and turned-the office
over to his chief clerk , Henry J. ,
Nichols , who transacted all the busi
ness until President -Garfield ap
pointed htm as the sncoetsor of Mr.
Trowbrldge. Mr. Trorbridge never
did a days work as commiseioner of

health from 'his appolntmenl until
his death. President Garfield ap a
pointed Chief Clerk Nichols to the
commisslonotship but he declined the
appointment on the ground of ill
health , and Hiram Pr'-je , of Iowawas
aelected.to fill the vacancy. Since a s
year ago in February there has vir
tually been no head of the Indian bu

Dr Miller :
DEAR FEIEKD. Yon have two "words"
in this morning's paper , which deserve to
appear ia capitals etery morning : . "Pro

Yours most truly ,
A. F. SHEKEIIX.
Mr. Sherrili undoubtedly reflects
the general sentiment of the people of
this city in this emphatic approval of
the Herald's position. There are those
who talk differently , mostly , we as
sume , because they over-estimate the
outlays required to make the levee
permanent and secure. This done ,
and the filling up wo old go on so fast
that the most vrV > le property in
Omaha would five years Lence-rbe

so much needed in the "fatare , f
* * * * *
Better far for Omaha to spend { . $300f-
000 to make that river front impreg
nable than to spend $100,000 for sew
ers of very doubtful necessity. But
It will not cost § 300,000. If the work
that has been already done can be
.ntiliud , and J. T. Clark Is given a'
carte blanche to spend * the money , in
his own-way , in our opinion $75,000
woulddo the whole business from the
bridge to North Omaha , creek , Includ
ing vi earth embankment to guird
against that sometimes troublesome"1
waterway. Herald.
The Rev. Mr. Sherrili no doubt re
flects the sentiment of Omaha when
he nrges the protection of the river
front , bnt if the Rev. Mr. Sherrili
has written this letter with a view of
aiding the Union Pacific Jn bulldozing
Omaha out of another § 100OCO , heis
lending ; himself to a job which does
not reflect credit on him. If J. T.
Clark can ensure 'permanent protec
tion to onr river front for § 75,000 , the
U. P. railroadwhich owns nine-tenths
ol that ground ought to furnish him
the money. Omaha has donated to
the Union Pacific lands , lota and
bonds worth in round figures at least
81,000,000. The condition of this
munlficiont grant was that the Union
Pacific should forever maintain the
transferring of passengers with all the
railroads , converging at this point
npon the grounds In this city which
were donated by our citizens. This
part of the contract has been repudi
ated on the same grounds that the
company repudiated Its contract with
Mr. Wardell , namely , that the de
cision of the supreme cou i phced
the terminus on the east side
of - the Missouri river and
hence made the agreement to transfer
at Omaha unlawful. Another part of
this contract which wr s not unlawful ,
'provided that the Union Pi ific should
build a $100,000 depot on its grounds
in this city. Instead of building the
depot in Omaha tha managers ex
pended nearly § 200,000 on a aopot in
Iowa with the proceeds of the
bonds donated them by this city.
In the last nine years since the Union
Pacific bridge has been completed ,
Omaha has been bled on an average
§ 200,000 a vear for transfer tolls which
In the aggregate would amount to the
enormous sum of § 1,800,000 , enough
to build the Omaha and Plattsmoath
bridges and leave a handsome surplus
for rip-rapping. In the face of all
these facts it Is the height of pre
sumption for any man to advocate the
donation of § 100,000 In bonds to pro *
tect the property of the Union Pacific
and keep Its bridge from balng dam
aged by floods.
It is a notorious fact that the orlgi
nal plans for rip-rapping the river
above the Union Pacific shops wen
abandoned , In order to turn the chan
nel so as to protect the east bank of th
Missouri on the Iowa side. Another
fact , brought out by the evidence o
Mr. Dodson , was that a large portion
of the rock purchased by the government
mont for rip-rapping the river was
hauled above the Smelting Works ,
there weighed and then sent back and
dumped near the Union Pacific
bridge. Had the stone been
dumped above the Smelting Works ,
where it Vas supposed to go , wo
should not have had the break in the
embankment this spring.
Onr position on this question is
limplfthis : We are in favor of perma
nent protection of the river front and
o this end we would urge that our
joard of trade should exert its la
inence through the Nebraska senators
o have the money at the disposal of
he war department for
mprovlng the' Missouri river ex
pended at 'Omaha under the super
rision of competent engineers. There
s now over § 50,000 In the national
ireasury for this purpose. If this
noney Isn't-eufficient , let the Union
Pacific , the B. & M , the Omaha and
St. Paul and other parties Interested
m the river front supply the rest ,
rheso great corporations are not pan
sera. Millions are spent annually by
railroads upon tunnels and expen
tlve embankments , while § 100,000 di-
rerted from our sewers and public
mprovementa wonld set Omaha back
ire years. Such an amount Is a more
gatelio to corporations whose in-
ionics are millions every month. If
he Omaha Herald has taken the con-
ract to divert this § 100,000 from onr
ewers Into a U. P. rip-rap , that paper
reposes to bite off more than It can
haw. It takes a two-thirds vote to
any bonds and Omaha will never
ote a dollar ior this purpose.

COHKIi'Na.
THE SEW YOBK SESATOE's WAR UPON
THE PRESIDENT.
CmdnnUl Commercial.
We are truly sorry the president of
the United States cannot get along
with the distinguished senator from
New York , Mr. Conkllng , without
trouble.
But it is not certain that any num
ber of humiliating concessions to the
senator would be fruitful of peace.
The probability is that no one can be
at posca with Conkllng without sub
mitting to his bidding ; and that we
presume the president is not expected
tc do.
The course of the senator from
New York his been very singular , and
in a smaller man might for some years
have been termed at once
CROOKED AND SENSATIONAL.
It was understood that he was not
in favor of the electoral commission ,
or of any one of the steps taken by
which the election of Tllden was dis
puted and Hayes made president.
If he ever permitted himself to be
within reach of the friendship of
PresidentHayes , the fact is unknown ;
and he never seemed to move with
out the potent help of Imposing In
fluences In New York , not republican.
The vehemence with which he was
assailed by John Kelly's newspapers
after the Tammany chief lost the con-
trollershlp of New York , seemed to
point to ties that had been strong and
tender rudely surrendered.
Mr. Conkling appeared as the
champion of the third term , and was
arrogant In assuming defeat impossl
ble. In Chicago he' had 300 follow
ers , not 10 per cent , of them from re *
liable republican districts.
The strongest republican districts
from the states of New York , Perm
sylvanla , and Illinois were for Blame.
The most Inveterate third-termers
were from the hopelessly democratic
states.
After the third-term defeat ,
THE SENATOR SEEMED INCONSOLABLE ,
and was opposed to the nomination of
one of his own friends as vice-presi
dent It was difficult to reconcile him
to the candidacy nf Arthur , and he
thought a little pleasantry by Charley-
Foster a mortal affront.
When ho entered Into tha campaign
ho did it with so many reservations
and formalities toward Gen. Girfield
as to advertise to the country that he
was not cordial ; and. usually , during
his western speeches , he said so muca
for Arthur , and so little for Garfield ,
ss to make the contrast offensive.
He was taken t Mentor by Simon
Cameron and Gen. Grant , who had
great difficulty In getting him to the
house of the candidate. No other two
men in America , it Is believed , could
have accomplished the task. He kick
ed all tha way.
It is claimed that Garfield could not
have been elected without the help of
Senator Conkllng The same thing
may be said with equal truth of sev
eral uther men. New York could not
have been carried without Conkling
and his friends.
OR WITHOUT THE LIBERAL REPUBLI
CANS.
There were more. Conkllng men than
liberals , but both were required to
make up the republican majority.
Throughout the campaign there was
an undertone from the New Yorkers
following after Conkling that an Ohio
man was a poor sort of candidate any
how ; that Garfield was "another
Hayes" ; that he had taken a ride of
half a mile in a carriage with Carl
Schnrz a circumstance that might
cost him 40,000 New York votes ; and
an Infinlt assortment of frivolous irri
tations of which children should have
been ashamed.
After the campaign but one thing
was heard frcra Conkling , and that
was he must name the secretary of
the treasury. He wanted L. P. Mor
ton for that office. It was opposed to
the president's policy to put a Neie
York man in that place , or a man who
represented a personality not his own.
He was attached , to Morton as a gen
tleman , bnt believed him ineligible.
Senator Conkllng could have had
anything else , but he wonld not in
dicate anything. He had use for the
treasury department but for nothing
beside. He prevented the formation
ofA
A STRONGER CABINET TEAK WAS CON
STRUCTED ,
by preventing Morton from taking the
secretaryship of the navy.
He has the credit of the present
postmEster general , one of his old
friends , bnt he had nothing- do
with Use appointment of James. He
stood afar off ts to Arthur for the
vice presidency and Platt for the sen
ate. Arthur , Plitt , Jan.es and Wood-
ford are all reputed to bo friends of
Conkling , andall are In hl h positions ;
bnt he has not taken the initiative in
helping either of them , and the nom
ination of his friend Morton to be
minister to France has not given him
the slightest consolation.
The president was disposed to have
peace ready to do anything for peace
with the exception of miking tha
treasury department the senator's
perquisite. The president had too high
& sense of duty , too clear a compre
hension of his accountability , to do
that ; and therefore it seems that , as
Sanator Conkling Is constituted ,
PEACE IS IMPOSSIBLE.
One of the great patronage depart-
nents Is the postoffice , Is in the hands
> f a man who since his appointment ,
las taken occasion to tell the country
ie was proud of always sustaluL g
Senator Conkllng ; but His well known
that the postmaster general conducts
his office on business principles. .We
hope his appointment Is not on thai
account unsatisfactory to the senator/
bnt it appears to ; be so. ' "
The treasury department Is very im
portant in New York politics , for two
reasons : First , there is an army em
ployed in the customs service ; and
second , the possession of the custom
house would moan , in the hands of
one less a business man than a partisan -
san , opportunity to squeeze out of the
Importers a quarter of a nlllion of dollars
lars a year for campaign purposes.
We suppose the president of the
United States ought to have some dis
cretion In respect to the treasur/ de
partment , as he has a great deal of
responsibility , and , after appointing
one of Conkling's friends in the cabi
net and giving another a foreign mis
sion , and bestowing other offices so
that there was a shout frsm those who
made an occupation of the celebration
of Co'nkling'a virtues rod triumphs ,
that he was having everything his own
way , the Robertson appointment
was made.
This was pursuant to the policy of
the
MAJOBITY OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ,
who nominated Gen. Garfield Instead
of Gen. Grant at Chicago ; and. the ap
pointment received Immediately the
extraordinary Indorsement of the un
animous vete of the general assembly
of New York.
Of course this appointment made
plain the fact that it was not the pol
icy of the administration to provide
that Senator Oonkllng should have
the use of the custom-house for his
personal purposes ; and that is accepted
as a declaration of war. V it is so ,
let us have It hot and heavy , 'as It
could not come in better shape or
time for Iho administration.
Now we find the senate tied up in
a hopeless contest on behalf of Mr.
Mahone , of Virginia. As long as
there can be a pretext made of fightIng -
Ing the dembcray on the great prin
ciple of tho-rule of the majority , the
president's appointments are not
acted npon. One must be dull not
te note the manifestations of the
New York machine in this. They
are
CHARACTERISTIC AND FLAGRANT.
The democrats In the senate are
ready at any time to go into the pub-
lie business , but the republicans are
anxious to take advantage of Ma-
hone's vote to secure the offices of the
senate ; and this thing is worked up
in ciucui , to defer action on tbo nom
inations of Judge Robertson and oth
ers a game of obstruction played
with the acnteness and obstinacy of a
desperate ward politician.
At the : -une time the same Influ
ence at the state capital of New York
prevents the paisago of a law that
would result In the cleaning rf the
streets of Nenr York city unless it can
be made a machine job , and the city
is absolutely in a pestilential condi
tion. V. the tight man cannot make
money enough by cleaning the town ,
it must not be cleaned , though it is
dirtier to-day than Constantinople ,
and deadly fevers are already devel
oping and promise a summer plague.
Senator Conkllng is a man of great
ability and many merits , amongthem
certainly the one of having the cour
age of his convictions and the will
power of a leader ; but if the republi
can party is entirely dependent upon
his caprlcci for its harmonious and
effective existence , the foundations
are insufficient.
If he wa es war npon the Garfield
administration in the spirit it has
been opened by the journals that made
a specialty of the third term , it is the
duty of the president to use his whole
power to
TEACH THE SENATOR THE VIRTUE OP
DISCRETION.
Our Idea of civil service reform
would be , if Senator Conkllng contin
ues implacable , to use the machine for
his destruction. If he wants peace
on terms btcong reasonable beings
with responsibilities , he can have it
without trouble ; bnt if be h resolved
upon war if he cannot uaa the treasury
department of the United States as
his pig-pan and corn-crib , then the
administration owes it to the country ,
and the republican party , and its own
self-respect , to defend and sustain
itself by Instant , incessant , and relent
less aggression , and the full employ
ment of the war club and the scalping
knife * Let it be understood that there
is to be that .sort of war , if war it is ,
and we shallTiave peace.
