THE damicrats in congress have
decided to ribindon their scheme of'
pushing through \lit electoral bill and
will devote ttotr energies ia attend
to the rojrulir business of tlio rest ! on.
Tats loiks like the promised de&th

IT is intimated that there may be
ootae f nrthcr changes iu the militiry
growing out of the
departments ,
transferring of the various departmen
commanders. Omaha ponplu hope
that the present command at Fort
Omaha may remaia unchanged.
FUOJI prea lit indications coiigreaa
will pass a funding bill at the present
Ecjjion. A number of Now York
bankers , among whom are Fisk &
Hatch , believe that a long time 3 ptr

on the market. O.hers are inclined
to doubt the success of uny loan bear

TilE opening of another brickyard
in Omaha is a cause for congratuli-
ti a. Tae demand for brick in our
city has bsen eo greit that quality 1m
"been neglected in the endeavor lo sup
ply quantity. With our clsya , there
is no reason why an ubundaccp cf
tine brick should not be manufactured
in our city , thus obviating the neccs
ally at.d oxpurma of sending out of f
town for the article.
TUB BEK biucercly regrets the un
holy warfare between its esteemed
morairg contemporaries. It looks
very much as if the center editors had
turned over their duties to tvro juve
niles , who forgot the high mission of
the papers on V7hch they arc em-
pl-yed. Tha ll&rald , " ( hfe'onlyur

THE KOEU PROBLEM.
is not alone in the incir-
vomouco nnd distress which the is ot -
iiiriug from a lack of adequate BUI
plies ot fuel. Minnesota , Ivtnca1
Dakota and IOWA are equally per-
i ' .ers < i for a aolu'iori of the fuel
question , which at the present tire
pirticularly pressing. Tiio problem
of fuel aupply for iha prairie legions
of tue vest is vitally important to
the ee'.tlement nnd development of
ojr country. As we are now situated ,
our people are entirely dependent for
their fuel u/oii the supplies of
coil hauled over the trahs
partition lines from reat dir-
ttucas and laid down at our
i at hijh prices. The lack of
on our railroads ha lately prc-
ver.toi them from furnishing the
priirlo regions of the state with
aaflicicut amount for their must ur
gant demands and much inconvenicnco
> tni distress has b enXthe result.
TJut even if the supply , of coal and
= rood \vcra equal to the demand
there are thousands of our poor sot
tiara who cannot afford to pay th
piicea asked for them. Seine
choapsr substitute for these
kinds of fuel would bo a boon to this
class of our people and recognizing this
fact inventors nro directing their at
tention to the question with strong
hopes of its speedy solution. The
Pioneer Press in a leading editorial on
the subject mentions the extensive
USB of hay amous the Moimonito ? .
Hey has , however , bean found in
ndequate as fuel because the ordinary
, stoves in USB require such froqneiit
replenithmg. Another recent sugges
tion is the pressing into solid blocks
cornstalks and coal tar and u-ing in a
common wood stove A western
farmer who siys that he has
undo the oxporimsnt with
Buciens proposes that cvory farmer
should raise his owa fusl , by planting
half an acre or sa of sunflower * . The
cunflowor grows with great luxuriance
oa our rich pr&irie soils. The stalk iu
a'suraraer'a growth from t
tains a height of six or seven faet , aud
is ahoutaslig nronndas a man's wrist.
It is oily and burns well , and is said
to be a far better fuel thau hay , and
lo 1 > 3 little inferior to wood or coal ,
while ita cost would bo next to noth
ing. It would be au interesting and
cheerful feiluro of ou ? farm econo
mies if the sunQiwer could be
ta do such practical service in tro
v'inter as "supplying the household
with fuel.
The PJonrer-Prwj thinks
most practical su estiou on the fuel
question is one which proposes to do
away with fuel entirely in heatin
houses. -

i ixtensive nul't ry rcoounohssnce
' ' hrou ' h the Eig Horn country is in-
raading. Tois region has
received little attention from our government -

so admirably adapted for grazing , hate
crept into tha pjpera through atotk

, o the adjutant general , U. S. A. , ae-
I partoient of Dakota , tha lieutenant
states many interesting facts. The

hted of twenty cavalrymen aud
welva Cheyenne Indians. It left Ft.
Keogb , Montana , on the 21st of June
and proceeded up tLc Robebud river
: o wilhin thirty miiea of the Ouster

round in a circle to the south ,
through the Bis ; Horn mountains , back
down the little Uig Horn river , which
Clurk now c\l\s \ the Custrr river ,
through the Bg Horn canyon to
the Ouster battlefield itself. The
time occupied in doing this was
seventy-five caa , and the distance
traveled was upwards cf 1,000 mile ? .
Though gold and silver were earnestly
sought for under the guidauco of the
Cheyennea but a few traces of these
me'-als vrero found. Much fine coun
try well adapted to ctock raiting was
dissevered , and a large number of
routes mapped out through * he moun

Over Nebraska's Fertile , But
Unsettled Reservations.
Opening of the St. Paul &
Sioux City Railway to
Omaha.
Ccrresandcnc * of Tffa KK.
t
Sioux Cnr , lown , December 13.
To-day the first through train was
run over the Nebraska division o
St. Paul & Sioux City railway extend
ing from Omaha to Sioux City , and I
had the honor of being one of its
'
pasiongera. Leaving Omaha this
morning the passenger coach contained
thirteen persons , and arriving in OOT-
ington thia evening it contained four
teen paseengera. At least two coaches
will be required as soou as the people
along connecting linca are informed
that the line is open. This road
passes through an excellent sootion of
Nenrcaka. Washington and Burl
counties ara already quite well settled
and quite well known , andimmediate-
ly north of these is the Omaha
and Winnobago Indian reserve , The
road runs through the western part
of thib reserve Up the northern branch
of the Logan river , then across a di
vide that 13 sn almost level table-land
to Oouha creek and down Omaha
creek tin we are landed in Dakota
county. Than the western pirt of
ttig. reserve no finer J.tnd * ta eVe
.ookcd upon , smoothly rolling online ,
with soil so black it lo k ) ta though
it were pointed. It ii now uninha1 -
itod because it was held as re > ervo
till n v. I believe A pir' nf his
laud was'pfiercd for sale in 1874 , and
an appraising committee appoinfed
vrho appraised the land , but there
vrere ho bidder * for it at the figures
pat upon it by the co u i i
to be hoped some action will bo taken
at the present session of congress , if
any actinn be necessary to open this
oitun-ible s ° ction of ottr state for set-
tl ment. If our congressional repre
sentation ia not able to direct the at
tention of congress to this important
matter , the Omaha council mi ht vote
the onerous job into the hands of J.
S'erling Morten and make it fat
enough to inauro the attention of his
lubricated jaws ,
On arriving in Sioux City wo found
the division of Dakota the principal
topic of interest. Delegate Bennett
has introduced a bill iu Congress for
the division of the territory into north
and south parts , the latter to be ad
mit ! ed as a state. According it > tele
grams tha division line is to be the
forty-seventh parallel , which would
leave the northern part only one-half
the area of ihe south. To divide it
by the forty-sixth would make the
p rts equil ; but to divide by either
will diiturb the limits of organized
counties and cut tome farms into
parts , one of which would bo in the
new territory and the other m the
stnte ; while dividing it upon the line
of the seventh standard parallel will
not make fragments of any farms or
disturb the limits of any organized
counties , and will leave the
parts ali -

I was pretty well posted on the sub

thought 1 would have the advantage
of Mr. Gartihld , but when ho cam o up

a capital speech. I do not want to be
egotistical , but to me has fallen on
the democratic eida the same class of
work that Garfield has been
puruning among the republicans.
I have betm put in the labor and

read the hisloiy of enumerations

was a government based like oura on

morals with us. The present law ia
the finest ever passed , and the pres

There Were Millions In It.
One of the lirgeit transactions in
railway ownership that has occurred
in this country TT.IS the sale of the
Denver and South Park railroad to
Jay Gould. This transfer took place
several weeks ngo , snd , having been
chronicled at the time , it cannot bo
reverted to as an article of news ; but
the sale was meagrtl ? mentioned , and
one of the moat notew irthy bargains
of modern times was so quickly and
quietly consummated that oven the
nrincipab in the affair could hardly
boliinro ilitt the thing had been done.
The Denver and South Park W-AB first
projected by ex-Govprnor John Evans.
Ho soon collected about him as asso
ciates and coadjutors in the enterprise
about a dozen or fifteen of his neigh-
bora. A few cf these were wealihy ,
some were simply well-to-do business
men , and several were blessed with
but little of this world's lucrn , and
that was swallowed up in the expense
of construction. Notwithstanding the
confidence felt in Gov Evans' busi
ness ssgacity , the road did not give
promise of a bonanzt to the stock
holders up to the dircovery of the
mines which brought Loadvillo into
oiistar.ee. From that moment the
success of the enterprise tvhich had
bcou ro ra-ilomly and confidently
puthcd by Governor Evans and
ht friends bacnmo doubly
assured. Tha operations of the
road yielded enormous dividends to
the iilockholdors. The line w.ts thor
oughly equippad and the rolling stock
paid for out of the earnings. Jay
Guuld , already owner of nearly the
entire railway system centering at
Denver , bought a two sevenths inter
est in the road , and , getting at loggerheads -
heads with the management of the
Denver and Klo Grande railway , de
sired to buy the whole line , bilieving
that snch ownership would give him
an advantage over his pelthy adver
sary and at the same time prove &
goo'd financial stroke. Uov. Evans ,
as the principal of the Denver stock
holders , met Jay Gould at
the Intter'a solicitation. They
were in conference for a' ferr minutes
on Saturday evening , and at _ 10
o'clock on Monday morning , following
Gov. Evans held Gould's check for$2-
365,000. The money waa paid in a
lump snd divided among the dozen or
fifteen persons forming the Denver
pooL Got. Evan ; , it is said , received
as his share over $500,000. The
Brown brothers , received § 100,000
each. Similar amounts being appor-
