CONQEESS busied Itself yesterday
with discussing the question which
party should gain the credit for the
arrearages of pension bill It didn't
discuss which party was responsible for
the necessity of such a bill. There
was no room tor discussion on that
point.
THIS paper is not now , and never
has been , in sympathy with lawless
ness , vice and crime , and we cordially
approve of the effort of our local con
temporary , The Herald , in demanding
the enforcement of our city and state
laws upon gambling houses and the
keepers of low dens where the crimi
nal classes resort for their amusement ,
and where the foundation is laid for
making embezzlers , defaulters and
thieves of our boys and young men ,
and suicides of merchants and profes
sional men.
WYOMING Is soon to possess a new
industry in manufacturing carbonate
of soda. A sale has within the last
few weeks been effected of the great
loda deposits nearLaramie.The Union
Pacific company are the purchasers
and furnaces will at once be erected
under the superintendence of General
T. E. Sickles to develop and utilize
the great mineral deposit and place it
on the American market. The Lira-
mie Sentinel says that the article has
been tested by the Pittsburgh glass
makers and found chemically pure.
Eastern manufacturers offer to take
as much of the Laramle soda as the
new company can place upon the
market and there will probably be an
unlimited supply of the article. Says
the Sentinel :
A careful estimate of the cost and
profit of working and converting this
material into carbonate of soda shows
that the expense per ton would be
I19.C5 ! and the product is worth
$56.40 per ton , leaving a net profit of
$36.75 per ton. These lakes now con
tain more than fifty million cubic feet
of this salt , and as it forms faster
than it can possibly be removed , there
is no exaggeration in saying that the
supply la absolutely inexhaustible.
Statistics show that over $7,000,000
worth of thlsmaterial | is annually im
ported into the United States for
home consumption. From these fig
ures some idea of the extent of the de
mand may be formed , and of what a
source of revenue it may be to
Laramle to have this bill filled , which
can easily be done , and within a year
or two will be done. No cold or
silver mine which has been ever
been brought to light on the glebe
h * * bean each a source of wealtn as
will this vast deposit , and its effect in
building up our city can scarcely be
overestimated.
THE OPENING OP THE KESEE-
VATIONS.
A bill has been introduced into the
senate by Senator Saunders providing
for the sale of 50,000 acres of the
Omaha reservation in accordance with
the request of arecent council of the
tribe. The portion of Nebraska in
which the Omaha and Winnebago
reservations are situated has always
been seriously hampered in growth
by the barrier which these unoccupied
portions of land has thrown between
the settlements. It has cut off all
Northern Nebraska from its natural
wholesale markets , and has directed
trade to Sioux Oityto the detriment of
Omaha , and the adjacent country.
The entering of the Omaha reserva
tion by the Chicago & Omaha road
was the first wedge which
opened a way for future development.
The proposed cestsion of lauds by
the Omaha Indians to the government
is in the line of Secretaay Schnrz's
recommendation that the Indians on tla
tlti
reservations be given lands In sever a
ally. Our reservations as at present tia'
constituted are pieces of wasteful ex a'V
travagance unoccupied by the Indians a'G
and incapable of being occupied by
the whites. Take for instance , the a
reservations under discussion. The atl
lands of the Omabas and Winneba- tlw
gees aggregate 310,000 acres. w
By the census taken last June there e
wore 1,121 Ociahas , and 1,435 Win- B
nebagoes. Allowing five members to b
each family , there would be 225 Oma
ha families and 287 Winnebago fami in
lies. Allowing half a section to each 0
family , the two tribes would require VI
about 164,000 acres. The two tribes 01d
now have 310,000 acres in their reser 01fc
vations. This would fc
give 145,000 fcVI
acres for white settlement VID
The Omahas , alone have decided to D
Bell fifty thousand acres of their res 4
ervation , but the Winnebagoes would dihi
doubtless follow their example If the hica
case were properly presented. The care
western part of the reservations are re
entirely unoccupied. The land is ex toT
cellent , the sail rich and deep. The T
eastern portion of the reservations is diol
occupied by tha agencies and the In olcc
dian farms. This portion will proba cccl
bly be selected by the Indians for set clw
tlement in severally , while the west of w
the reservations will be thrown open inTi
to the public. Ti

befitting the funeral occasion. I /
FOUB
Never In the political history of
Nebraska baa there been an instance
where such a shameletsattempt has
been made to deprive legally elected
representatives to the legislature of
their seats by downright fraud as is
now attempted by the four knaves
who are contesting the seats of Messrs ,
Doane , Howe , Paxton and McShane.
Here are four claimants to seats In
the leglelature.who have the audacity
to continue a contest after it has been
shown in open court that the pack
ages containing the ballots had been
tampered with since -they came into
possession of the county.clerk. .
Everybody that vwwed these pack
ages when they were delivered
by the deputy clerk saw
that the seals on two packages had
been broken and these two packages ,
singularly enough , contain the returns
from the First ward and TaUey pre
cinct , in which the-contestants set up
the preposterous claim that they had
been counted out. Why were
these packages alone ( ampered with ,
and none others ? Does it not show
on its face that an Infamous gang of
conspirators have hired some scound <
rel who has procured access to the
ballots and manipulated them to suit
their pnrposejTheOmaha'JJepwliZvcan | ;
the organ of the four knaves , In its
last Issue prints the testimony of dep
uty County Clerk , H.T. Leavitt , who
admits that the seals on two
packages have been broken ,
and offers as a flimsy excuse
for the criminal negligence In that
office to sacredly guard these pack
ages , that they might have been
broken by being knocked around. It
is as strange that Clerk Manchester
has absented Mmself so much dlnce
this contest was broached , as it Is to
parties who call at his office on any
pretext have had access to the pack
ages and might have tampered with
them without the knowledge of the
clerk and his deputy. It is admitted
that Hanlon who is very much inter
ested In the contest as an outsider
has been within the reach of these
packages , and while no evidence has
been adduced to connect him with
this fraud , it shows clearly that there
was a design in leaving those packages
where they might be reached by par
ies sent there to tamper with them.
In the face of this exposure , no
honorable man who had been declared
defeated by the board of canvassers ,
could stand up before this communi
ty , and before the people of this state ,
and set up a claim for a seat In 'he leg
islature. But the knaves who have
set up this bogus claim have the au
dacity to come before the legislature
with a plea which , in itself , brands
them as rogues. They set up the
claim that in the First ward about 150
bogus democratic tickets were polled ,
upcn which their names were printed ,
aud they charge that these votea were
not counted for them. Was there
ever auoh a cheeky quartette.
They and their cappers caused a bogus
ticket to be printed and circulated
at the polls , whereby scores of ignor
ant voters who desired and intended
to vote against them were deceived
by a fraudulent device into > ing for
them , and after perpetrating each
fraud , which In some states would
have sent them or their cappers to tha
penitentiary , thuy boldly admit the
fraud and base their claim * for seats
in the legislature upon it. The truth ,
however , is that these votes on the
bogus democratic ticket were counted
for them , and the knives know it.
The official canvass of this county , as
published 1 in all the papers of this
1I
city I shows that the average vote
received 1 by the republican electors in
1i
the i First ward was three hundred and
sixty-four I and the average vote for
democratic electors was four hundred
and twenty-five , giving a democratic
majority of sixty-ona. The vote
credited to John Bloom , who was the
only republican on the anti-monopoly
ct
ticket t , whose name was not on any
other ticket , was one hundred and
nine. At least ninety of the votes
cast for John Bloom were cast by re
publicans who voted against Coutant
Locke ] , Fox and Barber. It Is safe to
say that fully fifty republicans
who voted the republican
ticket scratched the defeated quar
tette. Add fifty to the ninety votes
cast for Bloom and the anti-monopoly
ticket , and deduct the ono hundred
and forty from the average republican
voto-of the First Ward as cast for
Garfield and you have , two hundred
and : twenty-four votes , which is ex
actly what Oontant and the other
three of the quartette would have had
without those bogus democratic tick
ets. The canvass of the First Ward
gives Coutant 363 , Locke 356 , Bar
ber 349 , Fox 369 , which is an aver
age J of the vote cast for Garfield
that ward and is an offset of the
one ! hundred and forty republican
votes cast against these parties by the
one hundred and thirty-six bogus
democratic < votes that were counted
for them. The returns of the First
Ward , as canvassed officially , give
Doane 452 votes ; Howe , 440 ; Paxton ,
436 ! ; McShane , 427 ; while the presi
dential electors got an average of four
hundred and twenty-five. What be
came of the one hundred and forty
republican votes that were given
these successful candidates ?
They ] were offset by bogus
democratic tickets , and yet this brace
knaves who had these bogus tickets
counted for them have the sublime
cheek to claim a foul in the First
ward , where their own judges super
intended the count and re-count.
The fact is if they continue this in-
vestigatlon much further they will
succeed in sending some one to th"e
penitentiary , but they will never suc
ceed In stealing themselves into the
legislature on such evidence.
Right here let us say that ?
any attempt to make this
contest a political issue between re
publicans and democrats will ber - '
frowned down by all honest men.
The people of Douglas county , irre
spective of ptrty , have made their
choice through the ballot box , aud the
will of the majority thus expressed
must be respected. Majorities must
rule in this country , and no party can
r/Tord to override them.
