E. K'JSnWATEB. Publisher Now that Senator Logan has in terviewed President Grant we may look for an era of reconciliation and domestic tranquility. As long as good farming lands can be bought at from two fo twen ty dollars per acre in Xobraska, the Bee ha3 no serious apprehensions of a cremation crisis in thse parts. James Duxlap, a Democrat, was elected mayor of Naplerville, Illi nois, by one majority, Tuesday, and now the Republican City Council of that town ought to count him out by main strength. i Docs reformation reform? That seems, Just now,to be the question in New York City where a grand jury has found an indictment against the "reform'' commissioners of charities and corrections for inexcusable ex travagance in laying in a stock of dry goods for the female paupers. Theke are probably a larger number of representative men from all sections of Nebraska in our midst during the present term of the United States Courts than we shall see here at any time prior to the State Fair. "Would it not be judicious for the resident managers of the fair to take advantage of their presence in making proper arrange ments for a full representation of all sections at the exposition? Accobdijjo to the .Lincoln Jour nal General Vifquain is determined to carry out his programme for forcing legislative re-apportionment this summer. A conclave of the "select" is to convene at the Jour nal office next week to fire the rural western heart into something like a revolution. OurXlnooln con temporary very shrewdly abstains from endorsing this wild catscheme, evidently because it prefers to rseo how the cat will jump. "We do not propose to jwaste further time and space upon this project, but we would remark incldontally If General Vifquain wants to bo come a member of the Legislature or tho constitutional convention, why does he heat around the bush? Better declare your Intentions Gen eral, and the Bee will cheerfully afford you every facility to place your claims before the people. According totho "Washington Chronicle theHouso Judciiary com mittee has agreed to report favora bly a bill which passed tlie Senate some time ago, to provide for the appointment of a commission of five persons, who shall be selected from civil life, solely with reference to personal fitness andjjcapaclty for an honest and impartial investigation, to investigate tho alcoholic liquor traffic in its economic, criminal, moral, and wfientlflc aspects in connection with pauper Ism, crime, social vice, the public health, and general welfare ot the people; and who shall Inquire and take testimony as to the practical results of license and restrictive and prohibitory legislation for Intem perance in the United States. The commissioners are to serve without salary, but all necessary expenses are to be paid by the Government. The Judiciary Committee amended the bill so that they shall serve for two j-ears instead of one. That the arrangement of the transfer at Omaha is not what it should be, wc believe there is no one has the hardihood to deny. The fact is patent. It stands out clearly, and is known and road of all people who cross tho bridge. It is equally true that the Iowa and Illinois press are coutinuallv howl ing about the matter, and that they are cgjjed on by the pool the close corporation that controls the three Hne3 that center at Council Bluffs. It is the ety In the papers, the cry in Congress, and the mighty cry of the trinity of roads that wish to "put up a job" on the Union Pacific Railroad. The next question is as pertinent as that other one in nursery pariance "who killed cock robin?" In other words who i$ to blame for this stale of things f" "We answer not the Union Pacific Railroad but the Iowa pool. Republican. The Bee would answer not so much the Iowa pool as the citizens of Omaha. If our merchants and manufacturers would agree to trans fer their custom from Chicago to St. Louis; the Iowa pool would soon be compelled to cave. Ye apprehend a similar result -would follow If our business men would coneefitrate all their travel md traffic upon one of the thre pooling roads. As long as Omaha makes -no decided effort to help is baldly ntitied to SCHTOZVAHI) DEMOCRACY. While the Omaha organ of Bour "bon Democracy- Is constantly soft soaping Carl Schurz with a view to inveigling the German vote within the Democratic lines during the coming campaign, the Democratic home organs of the great German Senator are by no means disposed to shower compliments upon him. The mere rumor that Schura might possibly become a candidate for re-election next winter, has put thorn into snasms. They do not even wait for the confirmation of these stray rumors, but immediately o$en a fierce bombardment upon him from evoryTJemocratiCDattery Among Schurz's most bitter as sailants is the Kansas City Times, recognized as the leading ultra democratic organ of Missouri. Referring to the announcement bv the Sprinfield, Mass., Republican that Schufs will be re-elected at the expiration of his present term in the Senate, the Kansas City limes, of the Cth inst, says: "If the Democratic party of Mis souri, with a majority of 35,000, has to go outside of its own ranks for Senatorial timber, it might as well disband at once as try to elect a man who not only scorns and repudiates it but sustains the veto and the Eastern bank monopoly. There is no affinity between him and the Grangers, and t'other party in this State, the St. Louis Republi can, if it ever gets into power, will choose a Senator from its own ranks. Since all of these elements arc severally opposed to Schurz, it is hardly conceivable that they will coalesce merely to re-elect him. The free lances that have gone outside of all parties to under take the leadership of all, or of -any that may be found dirfting about without a pilot, would doubt less be greatly elated over the veri fication of their Massachusetts or gan's prophecy; but they must not expect such prodigies In politics till the lion and the lamb shall lie down together, and the Missourians shall forget to distinguish the track of the harmless 'possum from that of the Radical coyote. What does the Omaha Herald think of this? Does not this de fiant declaration prove conclusively that the Democracy of Missouri like their political brethren everywhere else, only want to use the Germans as catspaws to pull their chestnuts out of the flrp? Having achieved their political supremaoy through Schurz and the Germans, these Missouri possums now repudiate him. Was ever perfidy and treachery more marked or more malignant? The great liberator of the op pressed butternuts and repentant jayhawkers has suddenly been transformed in to -a radical coyote. The High Priest of fraternal recon ciliation and universal amnesty is driven out of his own temple by the political lepers who owe to him their restoration to vigorous politi cal manhood. The war of the Arkansas B's is becoming more interesting every day. Now that the impounded Judges of the Supreme Court have jumped Baxter's picket fence and landed safely in Brook's pasture, it is fair to anticipate that they -u ill soon promulgate a judicial bull against the Baxter comet Mean time the Attorney General at "Wash ington is preparing an elaborate opinion for the President, and if that opinion should happen to con travene the decision of the Arkan sas Supreme Court, the muddle will assume a decidedly muddled aspect. Bnsinaii Prospects. From the New Yoik Dally Bulletin. We enter upon the last of the spring months with improved and improving business prospects. The turn for the better, it is true, is neither substantial nor so general as could be desired; but, compared with the situation earlier in the season, we think it may safely be said that the signs of recovery from the disastrous experiences of last autumn, measured by the months as they go by, are increasing on almost every fide. True, jLUe spring trade, generally speaking, has been so far aught but a success in any branch of trade: but of the spring four weefcs still remain, and within that period, and well into the summer, wo may reasonably look for increasing activity. Tho disturbing influence of congressional uncertainty, with regard to the finances, are not altogether removed, but as the settled policy of the gov ernment seems to be definitely fixed, these influences are be ing gradually eliminated from the calculations of the busihew futum. Money is plenty and cheap. The interior unquestionably is depleted of goods, and, making due allow ance for the numerous adverse cir cumstances under which many ior- tions of the country are still con tending, as tho inheritance of last year's financial trouble, these two conditions warrant the expec tation that by the time we reach the anniversary of tho September panic, most of our leading commercial and industrial interest will be well on their feet agatn. The recovery in a majority of the manufacturing and mechani cal branches would be speedier and surer, but for the interposition of ar bitrary arrangements for the regu lation of wages and hours of labor. That interposition, however, it seems to us, must soon wear itself out by the operatiou of laws which no combination of men can long resist There are, even now, the most convincing evidences that the end Is near. A serious drawback Is the wholesale destruc tion of sugar, rice, and cotton planta tions by the overflow of the Mis sissippi and its tributary streams. Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, even before this new misfortune came upon them, were not in a very strong position, and their credit is now such as must appeal anew to the forbearance of their northern creditors. The generous promptitude with which our merchants aro responding to the call for the relief of the submerged districts is a good guarantee if any guarantee were- needed of their disposition in that respect On the whole, therefore, the prospect ahead if not all that we could wish to be, is far from discouraging. Contem plated from almost any point of view, the country is in many re spects stronger, sounder, Wealthier, than it was oa th Mrst day of May a twelve-month ago, tnough on the tlien dduaiva aux&ce of things, the OCCIDENTAL JOTTINGS. COLORADO. The Platte is rising very rapidly. Flour sells readily for $7 a sack at Del Norte. The snow is nine and a half feet deep on the top of Pike's Peak. It is fair taestimate that 1,000 Im migrants are now coming to this territory every month. The work of straightening the channel of the Arkansas river, at Pueblo, was commenced last in day. Cattle and sheep perished by the hundred in Huerrano canon during the late storm. Precious stones of great value are being discovered in various parts of Colorado. We are liable to have another Arizona diamond excite ment Two wealthy California gentle men have purchased a large ranch near the Divide, in this territory, and will stock with 20,000 head of sheep. The mill Creek diggings, up on the Laramie Plains, which have been reported.to be ofwonderful rich ness, are found to be worthless, and miners are returning disheartened. Texas cattle aro selling as follows in Las Animas county. Two year olds, $10 to $11; three year olds $13 to 14; cows $14 to $10. A grind stone factory is the last thing in the line of manufactories talked of at Colorado Springs. It is said that the mountains in the vi cinity of the Garden of the Gods will furnish first-class material in inexhaustible quantities. There are eighteen summits that rise to the altidude of fourteen thousand feet above the level of the sea in Colorado. Tho highest is the Uncompahgro mountain, which is 14,540 feet; the next highest are Mounts Evans and Harvard, which are each 14,270 feet; the next highest is Mount Rosalie, which is 14,200; Gray's peak Is next, being 14,254 feet; Torry's peak is next, being 14,259 feet; Mount! Elbert,near the head of Lake creek, above the Twin Lakes, west of the Arkansas, is next, being 14,222 feet; and Massive mountain is next, being ing 14,213 feet; La Plata mountain is 14,188 feet high, Mount Lincoln U 14,183 feet; Long's peak is 14,150 feet; Pike's peak is 13,9S5 feet. Mr. W. H. Cushman is going into fioh raising on a Jarge scale. He recently procured 55,000 trout eggs from Caledonia, New York, and 2,000 salmon eggs from Maine, wh'oli are now hatching out under tho supervision of Mr. C. Dennlson. Tho loss in transportation was less than one-half of one per cent. Mr. Dennison has the fish nursery fitted up in the cellar of his residence, watpr at a temperature of about 34 being, supplied Ijy pipes from Uie creek. The eggs are hatched out In trays of the Coste pattern, being ar ranged in rows upon a rack of glass tubes. The trays are thirty in number, being arranged in steps of five each. Tho first Jot of eggs hatched in CO days from the time they were received. During the summer suitable ponds will be pre pared near Green Lake for the ac oominodatjon of the young fish. Cushman is making the first ex periment with salmon ventured upon in the Territory. MONTANA. Mining prospects are good. Hay is quoted at $13 00 to $17 00 per ton at Helena. There, is a good prospect for In dian hostilities in the vicinity of Crow Agency next summer. New placer diggings have been discovered below the mouth of South Bqulder, in Jefferson county, it is claimed uiey will yield $o per day to tiio man. The garrion at Fort Shaw will be further reduced during the pres ent season, two more companies being under orders to move to the Muscleshell route for the better pro tection of that line. Major W. H. Fanton, U. S. Indian Agent at Fort Belknap, Milk river, reports the Indian situ ation at his post "O K," thore be ing between 2,500 and 3,000 Asslna boines and Gros Ventres near the pest, all of whom are peaceablo and quiet A private letter from Benton an nounces the stranding on a sand bar of the Diamond "It" office, en route by river from that place to the new town of Carroll, at the mouth of Muscleshell. The raft shows a distress signal, and Benton people are preparing a life boat to go to the rescue of the brave Capt Arneaux and his imperilled crew. The first steamer to navigate tho waters of the Missouri river tribu tary steam, above the Falls, will be owned by Master Frank Jones, of Uulonvllle, tho hull of which has just been launched from the Helena ship-yard. This splendidly con structed vessel is a model after the Vanderbilt, and while not as great in dimensions as that celebrated steamship, it is just as handsome in shape and as perfect in construction. The engine to propel this steamer is ordered from the East, and will ar rive in time to place the vessel in service early the present season, with Frank Jones as master. Tho Blaokfoot Asrencv. distant from Fort Shaw thirty miles, is lo cated on the Teton, surrounded by a wide valley, and has plenty of tim ber for fuel and fencing within con venient distance. The "father" of the Indians belonging to this agency, R. F. May, has had the build ings newly whitewashed and repaired, giving them both a neat and comfortable appearance. About fifty acres will be cultivated this year, maluly la oats and potatoes. There are over one hundred lodges or J'legans at tlie agency, averag ing eiht or ten to the lodge. Tho British Government has be come convinced of tho necessity therefore, and has ordered tho con struction of a military post at Whoop-Up, situated at tho base of the Rocky Mountains, Just above tho northern border of Montana. The post; Is to be completed the present season, and is to be garri soned by the troops at present doing duty as escort to the surveying corps engaged in locating the line between our own and their country. This will benefit our people in many ways. All supplies for that section must of necessity come from and through our territory, and the pres ence of the British troops will have a healthy effect npon the residents and frequenters of that hitherto lawless section, where irlght has so long proclaimed itself right CALIFORNIA. Three-fourths of the stock in the Pit River country have perished. Large shipments of asphaltum are being made from Los Angeles to San Francisco. A stalk of barley Is exhibited at Jose which -stands nve Mat. T ! A blast of 700 kegs of powder was touched off in the Golden Gate gravel claim at Forest Grove, Placer county, on Tuesday last Quartz mining at Nevada City is active and prosperous. The ledges there are very large and their re ported wealth is great A short time since there was a rope thirteen miles in length manu factured at the Alameda rope facto ry. It is to be used for deep sound ings. Crops throughout tho country are very forward and heavy, grain in many places being as high as the fence tops and heading out. An immense volume of water is now flowing in the Truckee river, carrying along the refuse from the different saw-mills above in Cali fornia, until it looks more like an old-fashioned tail-race than a moun tain stream. The co-operative ship building en terprise at Vallejo is likely to prove a success, and it is proposed to com mence the building of a ship imme diately. Donner Lake is still frozen over. The ice and snow on the lake are about two and a half feet thick. Plenty of club fish are caught with hook and lino by cutting through the ice. The trout Mill not bite readily. The Los Angeles Express says: "Wool is coming in very rapidly, and the spring clip is of a very su perior quality. The range of price realized here from the dealers is fourteen to twenty cents. There have been choice small lots sold at a higher degree. Fruit-shippers, box-makers and others are growling because the railroad company has raised the rate of freight upon fruit, etc., shipped east by passenger train from last year's figures $1,000 to $1,400. The extra $400 will prevent nearly all the fruit-rai-crs from making shipments, which is much to be re gretted. OIIEOOX. The late rains have considerably retarded grain-sowing and garden making in Oregon. Planing machines aro being man ufactured at Salem. The first shipment of Salmon this season from the Clifton fishery was made on the last trip to San Fran cisco of the "Orltlammo," consisting of 175 tons. Ten towns or cities in this State have regularly organi-ed fire de partments. Tho reports concerning the Ios3 of stock in the vicinity of Umatilla has been greatly exaggerated. The Land Office at Oregon City, decides that the withdrawal of land for the Dallas Military Road com pany extends ten miles on each side of the road. They a.re only entitled to the odd nuinbered sections, and those are withdrawn until they have their compliment of land under that grant. There are forty men at present at work on the State Capitol building. It is the intention of the commis sioners to put more men at work when it can be done conveniently. Oregon has 44 newspapers, 10 of which are published in Portland, 4 Lfn Salem, 3 in Eugene, 3 in Albany, a in Jacksonville, 2 in (Jorvallis, 2 in Baker City, and the rest scatter ing. Tho miners in the various camps are cleaning out ditches,, and set ting their sluices, etc., preparatory to catching the first water that runs, but the free water will last but a short time. The Oregon State election will bo held 'June fI8. A Governor Con gressman, and Legislature are to be selected. There are four tickets in the field, the Democratic, Republi can, Independent (farmers) and the Temperance. The Flood. The damage caused by the floods in the lower Mississippi will bo felt in every portion of this land. In Louisiana alone it is estimated that over 250,000 acres of fino cotton lands have been submerged. In Arkansas and Mississippi a large area of cotton land has been inun dated. The damage -to the cotton crop will of course be very heavy, as the lands that have been overflown can not be cultivated this season. Besides tho damage done to crops of all kinds, tlie floods have swept away nine tentlis of the stock owned in the un fortunate districts, houses have been lifted from their foundations and scattered in fragments on the bo som of the Mild waste of waters. The very- means of subsistence have been snatched from thou- 'sands whose energies have hitherto been directed toward building up the country, and a tale of destitu tion comes, like a wail of mourning from cities and hamlets once the scenes of life, energy and plenty. It is estimated that the cotton crop will fall short 400,000 hales, m Inch of course will enhance the price of that staple In every localitv In the United States. Want will follow in the wake of the waters, and it is impossible to conceive of what suf fering may jx-t ensue. Exchange. Sapphires Pound near Denver. A miner who has been engaged for four months past working in the bars along the Platte for five or six miles above Denver, had tlie good fortune to find several sapphires, which ho saved without knowing anything about their value. One day last week, a stranger who was pros pecting along tho river, was shown these stones, when he bought the largest one for two dollars. Ho brought it to town, and upon a test it was pronounced a sapphire and a very fine one. It was placed iu tho hands of I. Habcrl, lapidary, to be cut. The rough stone weighed nineteen and a half carats, and yes terday he delivered to the owner a beautifully cut gem therefrom, weighing full twelve carats, and val ued at $500. The miner was in town also yesterday and became very much astonished upon learn ing the value of the pebblo he had parted with for a two dollar green back. He left two more with Mr. Haberl and proposes, himself, to enjoy the profits of the polishing. The gentleman who bought the first mentioned stone is experienced In such things, though a compara tive stranger In this region. In the past week ho has himself found within two miles of Denver an em erald which he believes is still more valuable than the sapphire, and a very fine water agate, which will produce a beautiful gem of straw berry color. He has sent the eme rald cast Three diamonds have been exhibited in Denver in the past week that the owner said were found in Colorado and east of the range. We cannot vouch for the troth of this report, but there is no question as to the fact that the oth ers were all found within less than six miles of the Denver post office. The stone that has been cut will probably be placed on exhibition in we of the Jewelry stores naxtweek. J. fl. MILLARD CuMtr Prldent OMAHA NATIONAL.
