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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

An immense volume of water is
now flowing in the Truckee river,
carrying along the refuse from the

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.

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

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.
