WE wonder what the young America !

CLEVELAND hai received a
great many compliment * , and ho ought to
be satlsGed with the courteaioa extended
by his political adversaries. Ex-Presi
dent Arthur attended his tint reception ,
and Mr. Blalno recently paid him a
friendly call at the White Honao.
WE notice In the Deny or ppori glar

Colorado. " A hundred thousand acres
of government land are offered in San

obcorvo , however , that the main object
In inducing people to locate upon thi
land i to obtain from them a revenue of
ono dollar per acre per year /or water
from the canals with which to Irrigate
tholrfarmt1. All lands In Colorado have
to bo Irrigated in order to produce crops.
It occurs to ui that land-seekers will not
take adyantaga of this generous offer. In
three years they will pay moro money
for water than their lands cott them.
In Nebraska land-ieeker * can got homes
ai cheap as they can be had In Colorado ,
and have to pay no water-taxes , as our

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING.
Now that Senator Van Wyck , by Ms
attack on the South Amotican commis
sion , has directed public attention to the
frauds practiced under the dltgnlso of
committee tours , It may ba Interesting to
know to what extent thcao pleasure trips
have been planned. The tonato naval
committee , under the lead of Don Cam-
oro"b , Is to go over the country , Inspect
ing ( ho naval yards , and this will , of
course , take It to the Pncilio coast. Mr.
Aklrich , of Rhode Island , at the head of
a committees on transportation to the
seaboard , will also make a transcontinental
nental trip , while the commttUo'a stitis
tician will do considerable traveling In
order to complete the Wlndom statistics
down to the present time. The Indian
comir.lttoe , in tire divisions , will go to
Montana and I ho Indian territory ,
A now committee on const defenses ,
with Senator Dolph as chalrmanf will
take n pleaiuro tour , and so also will the
fish committee with Senator Lapham at
Its head. Senator Miller , of Now York ,
will take his agricultural comnrittco on n
summer jaunt for the ostensible purpose
of examining the resources of the public
lands. Senator Blair , of Now Hampshire ,
will alt which virtually moans to alt In a
palace car and travel over the land
to conttnuo his Investigation of two yours
ago Into the relations of capital and
labor. Senator Cullom , with n special
committee of five , expects to do some
traveling In order to Investigate the matter -
tor of the intor-atato commerce , This
committee , like all the rest , will bo sup
plied with clerks , stenographers , and
other assistants. Now Isn't this a pretty
extensive vacation programme , the expense -
ponso of which the people
will have to pa ; ) All those
junketing tours were arranged before
Senator Van Wyck ruado his attack on
the vicious system. Wo have no Idea
that any of the committees will abandon
their proposed tours on account of Mr.
Van Wyck , but wo believe that his criti
cisms will have a tendency to make .the
junketing senators cut down the ox-
ponces much below the same that would
otherwise have boon squandered. Thoj
now know that their expense account
are liable to bo hold up to the gaze of the
public , and they cannot afford to be
shown up in the same light as the Soutl
American commission. It Is safe to say
however , that in the future the senate
will bo moro careful about voting to senc
committees all over the country on com
paratlvely useless missions simply ti
plcaso this or that senator who may wan1
to have his vacation expenses paid on
of the public fund.
THI : democrats with big pocket-book
arc the fellows that Cleveland is after.
IF Governor Click , of Kansas , Is ap
pointed commissioner of agriculture , hi
friend Dr. Miller will have plenty e
garden sooda for distribution among hi
granger friends in Nebraska.
WE are asked what will become of th
Utah commission If the polyginilsts , nc
dor the now revelation which Is to be prc
claimed In April , all turn monogamlstt
The question Is respectfully referred t
ox-Senator Paddock.
THE real worklngmcn of Omaha , thos
who labor for a living , will do their ow
voting and their own thinking. The fe
< lows who labor with their jawcr , and lor
around saloons and street corners , can n
longer control their votes or sell them ot
to the highest bidder.
.
TUEUE are already on file 3,000 appl
cations for positions as special agents <
the postoflico department. Inasmuch i
there are only 125 of those places , w
cannot figure- out ho w the supply wl
meet the demand. The government
short on oflices and long on applicant
COL. LAMONT , the president's prival
secretary , says that Mr. Cleveland's ' rei
ord at Albany shows that while govornt
ho was in the habit of selecting noi
applicants for oflico. This may oxplai
,
why the editor of the Omaha Herat
was left out in the cold.
AN antl-troating bill was passed at tl :
last session of the Nevada legislature
and the governor , who does not with i
sign It , has temporarily absented hin
self from the state , and no IT the llcutei
ant governor publishes a card in which h
dodlnesto exorcise his authority In th
matter. The till consequently become
a law. The Neradana need have no foe
of its enforcement. It will bo a doa
letter from the start , just as thoNobrask
null-treating law has boon.
STANDING FEOM UNDER.
It was announced B few d.iys ago b >
Leland Stanford , president of Abe Centre
Pacific , that there bad been consummate
a long-contemplated consolidation o
transcontinental Interests , and t hat th
Southern Pacific , the Louisville.Testeri
Texas & Now Orleans , and Mo.rgan *
Louisiana railroad and steamship Una
would bo hereafter operated under on <
general organization. This la n Stanford
Huntington combination , the object til
which Is eventually to drop the Central
Pacific entirely , and turn it over to the
government. These railroad wreckers
have no further nso for the Central Pa
cific , out of which they hava rapped the
life-blood , accumulated immense ] indl.
vldnal fortunes , and built a
southern transcontinental route. The
new combination Is the result of a pro-
oincertod plan of the conspirators to
stand from under. They have stolen
millions upon millions from the govern
ment road and now have a road of tbolr
oirn. They BOO the day of reckoning ,
not far dutaut , when the government
will take posactslon of the Central Pa
cific , and tljey do not propose to nuke
any fight against inch a proceeding , Of
courjo , they will divert as much of the
transcontinental traffic over the southern
route as possible , and in this way do ma
terial damage to the Union Pacific. This
may explain the action of Jay Gould ia
withdrawing from the Union Pacific.
Ho , too , proposes to stand from under ,
as ho very likely bollovcs that the Union
Pacific will follow the fate of the Central
Pacific and bo turned over to the govern
mcnt. Ho has accordingly nnitod with
the Stanford-Huntlngton syndicate
which has taken the Gould system Into
the combination to bo used as a northern
outlet.
Ir it wore not for such a man as Van
Wyck in the United States senate the
people of this country would not know
half of whai Is done by that body. Th
reformatory efforts of the senator are
heartily Indorsed by the prots and the
people , and the effect cannot bo other
wise than salutary upon the future con
duct of the national legislature.
WE [ now understand why President
Clavoland selected a man from Wont
Virginia for commissioner ot Internal
revenue. At Wcston , West Virginia ,
the other day the grand jury found 487
indictments for the illicit tale of liquor.
The no ? r commissioner will evidently
have his hands full of business in his own
state.
MK. JASON LEWIS has returned to
Onittha after several months absence- , just
in tlrco to call n convention In which ho
will assemble himself with three or four
other leeches to make up n tlckot for the
workingmen. This Is an old dodge on the
part of Lowls. Meantime candidates
will bo called upon to contribute to Lowin
and his pah for the bogus worklngmen's
boom.
IT seems that President Cleveland did
after all give recognition to the mugwump
element , but not in the manner that the
people expected. Ho gave a too willing
ear to Charles Francis Adams , and in
-
i accordanca with the prayers of that emi
nent mugwump ho left Allen G. Thur-
man out of the cabinet , because his appointment
!
pointment would have boon regarded as
detrimental to the interests of the Union
Pacific. Mr. Charles Francis Adams is
, evidently a mugwump for revenno only.
e THE two-mllo prohibitory bill ought to
be added to the city limits. This can be
done , and in this way the saloon-keepers
within that territory can bo made to pay
the regular license of $1,000. If the city
limits can bo extended for police pur
poses , and as to taxation of the property
that would bo thus added to the city it
need not necessarily bo made much
greater than at present. In case of such
a thing being done , it wonld remove the
prohibitory bill two miles farther awaj
from the cltj , and It is not likely thai
any saloon-keepers would find such a lo
cation profitable enough to induce then :
to go that distance to violate tha law.

THE now senator from Arkansis , Hon.
Jamoa Henderson Berry , is a self-made
° * man. Ho Is a native of Alabama , and is 5 ]
"
' years of ago. Ho has been a resident ol
Arkansas ever slnca 1848. During the
war of the rebellion ho served as a lieu
tenant in an Arkansas regiment , and at
so
the battle cf Corinth , In 1802 , he lost
, ono of his legs. At the close of the wai
, ho found himself without a dollar , bul
nevertholees ho set about as best ho coulc
. to carry out. his determination of becom
ing a lawyer. Not having the necessary
funds to pay his expenses at a la w schooloi
. ovenin a law office , ho borrowed law booki
from any ono that would lend them t <
of
him , and studied at homo. In 18GG Mr
Berry was admitted to the bar , and tin
same year ho wai elected to the lowe
111
hence of the legislature from Carrel
is
county. In 1872ho was again elected ti
the lower house , this tiina from Bontoi
to county. At tko extra session of the legIslature
toc Islaturo In 1874 ho was chosen speaker o
the houao , and was president of the dem
erratic state convention of 1870. In 187i
ho was elected jndgo of the Eight !
, Judicial circuit , and In 1882 ho wa
elected governor of the state , hiving re
ceived the nomination by acclamation
While Mr. Berry is not regarded as i
brilliant man , ho i ] honored for his hon
o ,
to oity and integrity.
n" IN the appointment of Hon. J. D. 0
11' Atkins , of Tennessee , to bo commlsalone
10 of Indian affairs , Frosldont Olovolam
10 has added now strength to the Randal
08 wing of the democratic party , and wi
suppose that ho has thus Incurred th <
further displeasure of Henry Wateraon ,
Mr. Atkins was born ia Tennessee and
graduated from the East Tennessee nnl
veraity in 1816. Ho served in both the
branches of the logiilaturo , ana In 1857 7
y
elected to . When the
al waa congress. wai
ald of the rebellion broke one ho left Wash
ington and entered the confederate army
as a lieutenant-colonel , but coon after-
0
wards was elected to the confederate
Q
congress , where he became the intimate
friend of Lamar , which accounts for his
appointment as Indian commissioner.
Mr. Atklni was sent back to
Washington as a congressman daring the
forty-third , forty-fourth , forty-sixth and
forty-seventh congresses. , and when Ran *
dill detested Blackburn for the speaker-
t hip he was one of the etrongost suppor-
te r * of Kamlall , who rewarded him with
the chairmanship of the committee on
appropriations. In this petition ha
prove i an economist , and byhta continual
cutting down of the bills ho made him
self generally unpopular. At the open
ing of th e forty-eighth congress Mr. At
kins wai a candidate fa- the clerkship of
the house , bat ivai defeated along with
his leader , lUndall , His appointment
as Indian coiumluioner moans rigid own-
only in the tndian department. He I
eaid to possess a our disposition , and Is
generally known fli the man who never
amllw.
THE citizen's candidate for mayor has
not yet received nny support from the
Herald. Dr. Miller Is very careful not
to commit himself to any man before the
democratic convention mcots.
SENATOR PENDLETON , who has been
appointed and confirmed as minister lo
Germany , will undoubtedly look nftortho
interests of the American hog in that
country.
CLEVELAND Is making hlmaolf
with the millionaires. With Coal Oil
Whitney In the cabinet and Millionaire
Phelps at the Court of St. James , the
money bags have no complaint to mako.
Perhaps Vanderbilt and Jay Gould will
get something yot.
Dr. Miller Knows III * Own Qnnrtcr
Section ,
Chicago News.
Since his return from Washington Dr.
George L. Mlllor , editor of the Omaha
Herald , announces in plain terms that no
ono mnst attempt to captnra the Omaha
democratic convention and throttle the
will of the people of that city. The vet-
cran statesman journalist may not bo
omnipotent down east , but ho knows his
own quarter section , and ho proposes to
hold the balance of power thereabouts.
If ho moans to prosecute the political
bosses ho has our best wishes.

No wonder the knaves In the United
States ccnato howled with rage and pain
yesterday. Van Wyck scourged them as
they were never scourged before.

In letter press and illustrations Is one
of the most attractive ever issntd.
With all her other troubles In Egypt ,
and Ireland , and Asia old England has
also been passing through a eonons agri
cultural crlsle , in which the ancient pro
verbial expression , "as good as wheat , '
lost its force , for the price of that com-
modlty touched the lowest point It ha ;
reached in the life of this generation.
What brought on the crisis , what were
its effects , and what remedies have been
proposed , are questions that concern the
American almost as much as the English
man , whether ho bo a producer or a con
sumer of wheat ; and they are very ably
and clearly discussed In an article by
William E. Bear , editor of the Mark
Lane Express , In the North American

cismi of articles that have appeared Ir

FAMOUS MEN WHO SIIOKK
Nearly nil Public Blen as Grcftt Smok
ers no ivriH ever General Grant.
Now York Sun.
If General Grant's use of tobacco was
excessive , there are very few man in
spoming vigorous health , and of very ac
tive habits , who must regard themselves
SB very Intemperate users of the stimu
lant. Among public men it ii the ex
ception to find ono who does not use to
bacco In one form or another , some
times in two ways and almost all
of thorn firmly believe that to-
baco does not hurt them. Judge
Kellcy's case has been cited as ono where
cancer was caused by the excessive use
of tobacco , but ho told the writer that
the cancerous affection of the chock from
which ho suffered was duo to the habit
ho had of g iog to sleep -with a quid of
tobiccD tucked into his cheek and testing
his head on that sldo. Jud o Kulley ,
now 70 years old , smoked and uscd the
best fine cut immoderately for fifty years ,
but ho has abandoned the habit.
Vice President Colfax for many years
smoked ton or fifteen very strong clgirs
every day. Ho was suddenly attacked by
a serious vcrt'go ' while vlco president
and ho attributed It to the narcotic poi
son. Heatonco stopped smoking ; yet
Vlco President Wilson , who never need
tobacco , was stricken almost precisely
as Mr. Colfsx was. The late
Senator Carpenter frequently smoked
two boxes of clgar.1 a week.
Ex-President Arthur smokes loss than
formerly , lighting his cigar now seldom
before dinner , but whan In the latD night
hours ho was busied with work , his com
panion was n cigar , sometimes three or
four. Dr. IJaminondJIa reported to have
onca said that generally three or four
cigars after dinner harmed few man of
average constitution , and Mr. Arthur
thought they did him good. At all
events , all of his messages to congress
word written under the gentle stimulus
of fwgrant Havana. Moat of Mr. Ar-
thur'i cabinet officers were good smokers.
Mr. Frolinghuysen did not use to-
brcco , though the assistant secretary of
state , Mr. Davis , llkod good cigars and
plenty of thorn. Tobacco was the only
thing that ever made Secretary Chandler
turn pale. It was a rank poison to him ,
and though ho tried many years ago tc
overcome the evil effects , as became a
od politician , yet ho never could. Bn
iian. Gresham waa a great smoker. Hi
smoked on the public streets , at his work
and wherever ho could. Secretary Tcllt
.Iked a cigar that would last a long time
and was not very strong. Secretary Lin
coin smokoa n good many pretty stifl
cigars every day , and Attorney genera"
Browster liked ono with body to it.
General Sherman Is a pretty constant
smoker , ana ho smokes , as ho does every-
hlng else , with nervona haste , so that
ho cigar Is moro than halt chewed up.
General Sheridan likes n good black
lelna altar each meal , with ono or two
brown in between whiles.

ino cut , which he buys In bulk. Perhaps
ionator Frye Is the most persistent
inokor of the eonatorj. If there was a
eng session In the senate , ho will leave
its seat several times In the course of it ,
nd retire to ( ho cloakroom for a smoke ,
n his cgmmltteo-room and other places
f unrestraint ho frequently lights one
igar at the stab of another , Poker Jack
\rona \ , from Colorado , smokes con-
: antly , and when ho can't smoke ho has
paper of fine cut at hand. The two
? ow Hampshire seriatou , Blair and Pike ,
o not use tobacco , nor do Senators
awes and Uoir. The now Senator
/haco , of Rhode Island , does not smoke ,
but Mr. Edmunds smokes a few choice
cigars a day , and now and then rolls A
Httlo pill of navy plug under his tongue.
Both Senators Uawlor nnd Piatt ,
of Connecticut , nro constant
smokers , General Hawley not dis
daining a good old-faihtonod chow. It
is hardly postiblo for any ono to smoke
me ro , blgior or stronger cigars than the
"Ivlng skeleton called Mahono docs , nnd
tis colleague , Rlddloborgor , Is an almost
constant smoker. All of the southern
anators , except Gorman and Jco Brown ,

Ictitar about the flavor of his cigars , and
t Is a standing joke among senators
when they cot n poor cigar to send it to
him , Llo araokcs U aa hap

Jones , of Nevada , on the other hand , will
moko none but the best , and ho makes
iway with ton or twelve every day.

ilny , likes to titillate his nostrils with a

io docs not do It so publicly as Senator
Thurman did. Young Senator Konna

fiercely at big black cigars. John Sher
man smokes little clgan , light colored ,
nnd bas them made specially for him.
Bon Harrison likes n plpo In his
oflico , but is moro often sorn on the
street with n clear than without ono.
Senator Conger 1 kos to ninoku three ci
gars a day. Senate r Allison would rather
smoke n good c'gar ' and bluff out a king
full than to diuo tit the mcst epicurean
table. Daud Davis waa a great tmokor.
Senator Coukling practically gave up the
habit some years ago , but ho occasionally

Mr. Randall docs not use tobacco at
all , but Speaker Carlisle would bo frantic

docs not smoke. Ho does not smoko.
Holman chows constantly , but docs not
smoke. Sunset Cox does not use tobac
co , nor does A. S. Howltt , nor Governor
Dlnglov , but there are very few members
in the house who do not smoke or chow ,
very many practicing both habitt. Con
gressman Mullur , of Now York , has made
many friends with his superb Rcinoa ,
