HAUHIHON , of Indiana , has introduced a bill for the admission of Pakoto. That bill will probably never get beyond the committee room , SIONKY DILLON enjoyed his insjioction trip over the Omaha bolt line , and has ordered that lit bo pushed another inch or two during the coming season. H.tvmi twisted the tail of the Amer ican hog , Bismarck is now anxious to twist the tail of the American eagle , lie may find the eagle not < juito so docile a bird as the hog. Tuc backbone of winter socmn to bo badly sprained , if not effectually biokon. [ Cleveland Jcculcr. Wo-don't'quite agree with you on this point.Out this way the spinal column of winter is yet in pretty good condition. SPJUKG is near at hand , but the senate committee is still holding the resolutions passed by the house declaring tbo Texas Pacific land grant forfeited. Perhaps they are waiting tc hear from some of Huntuigton'a chambers of commerce and boards of , trade down in Texas. THE ; investigation of the department of justice expenditures in the star-routo prosecutions promises to lost two months , beginning on March ! ld. The probability is that the investigation will last longer than the atar-routo trials , and that the expoditur.es will bo much greater. A committee to investigate this committee will then be in order. THE chairman of the republican con gressional committee of the .First dis trict has issued his cull for the mooting of the committee on March 3 , with a view of nominating two delegates to the national convention. Wo presume that the action of the committee will depend very much on the course pursued by the state central committee , which moots in Omaha next week. Tun victim of the latest lynching in Oolorado was a quack doctor , who killed onu of his patients with ono of his pro ssriptions. To prevent further killings by the quack , the friends of the deceased gave him a fatal doao of hemp. This is about the boat way to dispose of the quacks , although it would keep a vigi lance committee pretty busy to hang them all. It is hoped that the example of Colorado will become universal. , THIS Northern Paifio is doing some good work in getting the chambers of commerce from Taconm , Washington ter ritory , to St. Paul and Minneapolis to pass resolutions opposing the forfeiture of land grants to that road. Chambers ol commnrco are being organized in every ono'horso town in the Northern Pacific country for the purpose of passing auoli resolutions , and the same plan will soon bo carried out on other roads that have forfeited their land grants. ANOTUEU millionaire stockman , John W , Powers , of Las Antmas , Colorado , died a few days ago , and like Hill' , the cattle king , ho leaves a widow to mourn his untimely death. It happens , how ever , that the widow ,1ms ton children , v 'though the U only thirty-five years old. If there are any more biuhops down in Georgia or Alabama , or any other south ern elate , who have an attachment for cattle queanr , hero's a splendid oppor tunity. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ JAY GOULU and hit partners are pur suing the same methods of evading taxa tion ia the city of New York as they have with their railroads in the west Ever since 1878 the elevated railroads Lave pursued a policy of tax-shirking am tax fighting , which has enabled them successfully to defy the collection o * Uxe . According to the New York Jfer did these elevated roads owe taxes to the amount of $2,531,721.78 , without { Deluding. any intereit on the unpaii ' ' wtma. Tliis total wa distributed among . the three roads as follows : Mew York elevated , * 1,085,482.7 ; | ; Metropolitan "elevated , % 2,1Q5.L2 ; Manhattan , 94H4 , . $33,98. The dishonest methods pur- u d by f how elevated railroads in Now Ygrk are arousing a great d al of roent- BHHit m nj < the people , and sooner or later a eollitloij will occur which msy iiawkoui to the capitaliiU vrho ri h out of thwe fjitrterod SOLVltfO THK M011MON 1'ROHLBM. The Mormon question is generally ro' gardcd aa ono of the most difllcult prob- cms over presented to congress for sclu- .ion. Stringent bills have boon intro- lucod from time to time having in view the suppression of polygamy , but as yet nil the laws that have boon passed with reference to polygamy in Utah have proved inofliciont. Polygamy lias been made a felony , but the difficulty has been , whenever any trial has boon at tempted , to secure evidence , and owing to this deficiency the polygamous Mor mons htu'o evaded punishment at the hands of the law. The attempt also to disfranchise polygamista has proved failure , Uemmissionera Imvo boon appointed to investigate affairs in Utah , to regulate the elections , and to BOO that the laws were enforced , and to nmko recommendations on which to base congressional legislation. The work of the commissioners , however , does not seem so far to have boon very effective. Throughout the ontira crtisado against polygamy the Mormons Imvo maintained bold and determined front , and have fought every measure with o vigorous energy - orgy worthy of a bettor cause. Their eeal would indicate that they tire honest in their religious belief and doctrinosono of the principal elements of which" is po lygamy. They maintain that they arc being persecuted on account of their re ligion , and present some plausible argu ments in their own defense. Various methods of solving the Mor mon problem have been presented time and time again , but so far nearly every mode of procedure has boon through leg islation against polygamy , and which has had no material ollbot in accomplish ing the desired result. Some of the ablest thinkers of this country , vrho have been giving this subject much thought and study , are at last beginning to ad va cate , as the true solution of the Mormon problem , the division of Utah into sec tions , to bo annexed to tiio adjoining states nd territories Colorado , Wyo ming , Idaho , Nevada. Arizona and Now Mexico. In other words , that Idaho shall no longer exist as a territory , and that it shall bo erased from the map of the United States That congress has the power to do this vrith Utah or any other territory there is no question. The ad vocates of this method of procedure be lieve that polygamy will novorcoaso until the government of the people is taken away from the polygamists , and the laws are enforced by courts and officers who have nothing in common with polygamy. This whole question will probably bo brought up in connection with a proposi tion to create a now territory out of the eastern part of Washington Territory and the northern section of Idaho. It is esti mated that from 00,000 to 100,000 people - plo from all parts of the country , at tracted by the Coour d1 Alone mines , will settle in eastern Washington Territory and northern Idaho during the next twelve months , and this anticipated im migration has given rise to the propoai tion to create a now territory. If it should be determined to wipe Utah out of existence as a territory , it is more than likely that the now Ooour d'Alono territory con bo created without cutting down the dimensions of Idaho , as a portion tion of Utah could ba added to southern Idaho , Nevada has only a population of sixty thousand , and if that section of titan containing Ogden and Salt Lake city should bo annexed to Norada , that state would oven then have a less popu lation than she should have to entitle her to a member of congress. 'J ho plan of cutting Utah up and joining the various divisions to the contiguous states and ter ritories is a practical ono , and we bnliovo it will eventually bo adopted. It would put an end to the ruling power of the Mormons , and their power once taken awajjrfrom them , the question of polyg amy would settle itself. TUB bill recently introduced by Sena tor Voorhoos to protect innocent pur chasers of patented articles is an impor tant ono to farmers , who are BO iroquont ly made the victims of patent-right sharps. Senator Voorhcos' bill provides that it shall bo a valid defense to any action for an infringement of any patent , or any suit or proceeding to enjoin any person from the use of a patented article , that the defendant therein , or his as signor , purchased the patented articles for use or consumption , and not for sale or exchange , in good faith and in the usual course of trade , without notice that the same was covered by a patent , or without notice that the seller had no right to sell such uiticloj and in all such cases notice received after such purchase shall not have the effect to impair in any way the right of such purchaser as abso lute owner. The object of the bill more directly is to protect the purchasers of the barbed-wire fence nnd the driven well. The owners of thceo patent ? , it is charged , have exacted royalty from inno cent purchasers , and hundreds of farmers have acceded to such exactions rather than worry over a lawsuit. TUB Omaha board of trade , by request , has voted IU concurrence with the San Francisco chamber of commerce mem orial to congress asking a prompt and largo increase in the naval forces. Wo have tie doubt that congress will now piy some attention to the memorial , as the Omaha board of trade is such an inHumi * tial body. If wo could get double-decked , steel'turroted monitors on Cut-off lake , and a naval observatory at Fort Omaha , the city of Omaha would assume a naval appearance communsurato with her im portance as a port. TUB proposition to make the board oi trade initiation fee $125 is ono that ought to bo adopted. It will bo the means of keeping out of the board many men who have no business there what ever. It will make the board on organl- -ation of strictly first-class business men , nnd that is what is wanted in such n > ody. It will also place at the command of the board abundant moans to maintain ts organization in n respectable manner. As it is now , a lot wind-bags and joats , who raise tno small sum of ton dollars , foist themselves on the board and become members , and whenever ; here is anything to bo done which re quires money the secretary has to pass ! iia hat around. T1IK NKW lllllUOK. The transfer across the Missouri bn- twcon Omaha and Council Uluffi has for years boon and is now an obstruction ko travel and trafllc. The original bridge charter contemplated the construction of a railroad and wagon bridge , with accom modations forfoot passengers. Notonly did congress expressly grant authority to the bridge company to operate such a wagon bridge , but a bill drafted by LTon. A. J. Popplcson , general attorney for the Uninn Pacific , was passed by the legisla ture of ( this state , authorizing the com pany to collect tolls from vehicles and passengers over said wagon bridge be tween Omaha and Council Blufla. The jrcedy and grasping capitalists and job bers , who Imvo from time to timogamblcd in and controllodtho ] Union Pacific , have not soon tit to carry out their charter ob- igations in the matter of bridge accom modations any more than they have in ihoir obligations to pay interests on their > onds. They built a railroad bridge at a cost of 'about § 1,200,000 , and mortgaged it for § 2,500,000. They converted the bridge into a high wayman's toll-gate where everybody was mercilessly robbed , and the patrons were subjected to inconveniences and delays that would not bo tolerated anywhere else in America. For years the people of Omaha and Council Bluffs have tolerated this im position because they could not help .homsolves. Gradually a sentiment grow strong on both sides of the river that wn must have competition and bettor accom modations for the constantly growing in tercourse between Omaha and Council Bluffs. Conferences were hold between loading business men of these cities , and inally a general understanding was ar rived at that a now bridge should bo 3uilt. When congress mot in December Jills were introduced in both houses { ranting a charter for the Construction of a bridge across the Missouri within the imits of this county. Other bills grantIng - Ing charters for bridges across the Missouri at Rule and Decatur , are also lending , According to usage those bills were referred to the war department , which controls the improvements of the navigation of inland rivers through the engineer corps. The secretary of war referred the bills to General Wright anJ 10 in turn referred thorn to Major Suter , engineer in charge of the Mississippi nnd Missouri river improvements with head quarters at St. Louis. After an unusual delay Major Suter finally returned the bills to the war department with recom mendations that show upon their : acp that Major Suter is a good deal more anxious to obstruct than ho is to facilitate competition in the transportation routes. Ho lays great stress upon the obstructions which the bridging-of the Missouri offers to naviga tion , and dwells at great length upon the necessity of a now departure in the con struction of Missouri river bridges. While the bridge at St. Joseph has a draw of only 1UO foot and bridges below - low that point have spans of only 150 toot , Major Sutor insists that the span for the proposed bridge at Rule should bo noh loss than 200 foot , and at Omaha IJOO foot. In other words Major Sutor proposes that at Omaha , 175 miles above Ilulo , the span shall be double the length of what it is at St. Joseph , 100 miles below Rulo. It is a question whether tlioro is another drawbridge on the Mississippi or any of its tributaries with a 300 feet span. Major Sutor pretends to make this demand in the interest of navigation , when in fact it is made in the interest of the Union Pacific bridge monopoly. Major Suter knows that the Missouri at this point is closed for navigation for more tlian eight mouths in the year , and all the improvements that can bo made in his life time will not induce traffic enough during the navigable sea son to afford business sufficient for throe boats a month. But 'oven if the river was us navigable here as it is at Kansas City or Jefferson City , it is simply an imposition to require the span to bo more than 200 foot , which even Major Sutor thinks is enough nt Rule , There is no doubt that the congressional committees will discard Major Sutor's advice , but ho has shown the cloven hoof in this matter BO plainly that it may be come necessary for our delegation in con- cross to demand nn investigation into his conduct. That the Union PaciGo and its satellites will continue to do everything in thoif power to defeat the bridge charter tor is self-evident. THE readjustment of the election ma chinery of Virginia seems to have destroyed stroyed Mahono's lost hope of regaining control of that state. A bill hai boon passed over the governor's veto which takes from the county judges the power cf appointing election ofljcors and gives it to local boards which are to bo selected by the legislature. There is no require ineut that the local boards shall select the otlicora from both political parties , so that the election will in all probability bo entirely within the supervision of democrats. The law goes into effect on April 1st , and the presidential election this year will therefore bo hold under it. Muhouo's entire system , which in many I reipects was scarcely loss partisan than ; this , has been abolished , and with it hoi j | ono all chance for him and his party to make a formidable show in the election. The slnto is probably more completely in the power of the democrats than it wns before Mahono appeared as a leader. His methods , instead of liberalizing public sentiment , have furnished teeming justi fication for the most extreme bourbon hatred of republican influences , nnd have thus made it easier than ever to enact laws which will perpetuate bourbon con trol. The Now York /'ok says thnt the situation in the ntato is about as bad as it can bo , nnd the only pleasant fonturo of it is that the republicans of thn country will bo spared the spectacle of Mnhono appearing nt their national convention with the electoral vote of Virginia , and offering it for sale to the highest bidder. A LATE dispatch from Bismarck says that the reports of starving Indians at Poplar river agency are not exaggerated. There nro seven thousand Indians , who have nothing loft but n little Hour. All the game has disappeared , nnd their uogs nnd ponies have all been eaten , and in sixty days without relief all must starve to death. The dispatch says that "fears of a massacre of agents and post-tradurs nro expressed.1' It is too bad that "fears" nro expressed for agents nnd traders , many of whom are responsible for the mistreatment of Indians and ought to bo massacred on general principles.
