TUB New York Tribune gives a good
Bend-off to our senior senator , and
commends him to the Nebraska legislature
re-election. The same
lature for - pa
per , echoing the voice of Jay Gould ,
recommended Hitchcock four years
ago. By the way , viewed in the liphl
of the strictures made by the Omaha
Republican on the Council Bluffs
Nonpareil , Whitelaw Reid is guilty of
insuHerattle impertinence for "poking
his nose in Nebraska affairs.
THE strikers of rival newspapers ate
making a heavy effort to increase their
circulations among saloon-keepers by
circulating the idiotic report that TUB
BEE has been bought up by the tem
perance people of this state to kocp
mum on that issue. The views of THJ :
BEE on this question are pretty well
known , and even if the prohibitionists
Lad auy filthy lucre to squander on
editors they haven't got enough of it
to influence our views. Nor are wo
at all frightened by nny tbreatdr.oJ
withdrawal of p&tronago from Hquor
manufacturers and merchants. The
fact is that the temperance question
has not reached a point bsforetho 1 < R-
islaturo where any public discussion
will profit either of the contestants.
When the all-absorbingeenatorialiEBUo
is settled and members are disposed to
read or to disujn other subjects , THE
BEE will enter the arena of debate.
THE editor of the Lincoln Democrat ,
who so first choice is Paddock aud next
Hitchcock for United States senator ,
doubtless b ° cv 39 these two worthies
are the only ones who have pledged
and given senatorial patronage to
democrats , aesaUs General Van Wyck
and denunucas him at a carpet big
ger. With the exception of a few
hundred Indians who were bora and
raised on the soil , 99 par cent of all
be people of Nebraska are carpi t
baggers. If GeneralJ'Van Wyck , who
is American born , is a carpet-bagger -
to which category does the
editor of the Democrat , who was boin
in Europe belong ? EveryJ man
who comes to Nebraska , whether born
in America or abroad is a carpet bag
ger , and unlike the bourbons of tl o
Bouth wo 'are anxious ( o see the
pecislly men like Van Wyck , who bring
$100,000 to the state to invest in
farms and raise crops for export.
Tno game of bulldoze and ehultle-
cock'which the .Republican to playii g
with Senator Paddock Is amusing the BO
who have observed tbo fence-riding of
that paper on the scnatorship. One
diy Paddock is stabbed in the fifth
rib by a reminder that he didn't help
Hitchcock when be was in distress ,
and has no reason to expect any assist
ance from the great rip-rapper ; the
next day it cudgels John Chapman ,
for allowing a correspondence from
Lincoln to '
question Paddock's super
iority over all other aspirants in the
senatorial race. And poor Paddock
takes in nil this nhilly shally and is
ooitent when Hitchcock writes an
anonymous endorsement of his sena
torial career among the Lincoln cor
respondences of the Republican.
Mealtime Hitchccck , Thurston and
Cams are sharpening the axe to cut

THE resolution adopted by the
Farmers' Alliance at Lincoln last
Thursday were in the exact words ai.d
figures ao published in THE OMAIIA
DAILY BSE of Friday , our represen a
tative having secured the original
copies as the varioas resolutions wore
adopted bj the Alliance. On Sa ur
day the Lincoln Journal published
what purported to be an official report
of ths prooolins , incluJing resolu
tions , signed by the secretary , but
Bald sictotary stated to the reportrr
of THE BEE Saturday night that the
resolutions as published in
the Journal were made up
by himself wholly from
memory , with ono exception , and re
marked that cuh a fe.it wou'd hare
been impossible but for tin fact that
he had formerly boon a rewsprper
reporter. Tno one resolution which
was not rc-produsjj by a excrci e of of
the memory on the part t > f the secretary

one quoting the con
stitutional p-ovisions of be

IJOUQLAS COUNT ? AND THE COM
MITTEES.
The republican , organ of the Union
Pacific gives vent to a mournful wail ,
because , as it alleges , Douglas county
has been snubbed in the composition
of the committees of the senate and
horse. If such is tha case whose fanlt
is it ! The railroad strikers elected a
majority of their candidates at the last
election. If they have been ignored
there is probably good reason for auch
action. What advantage would Omaha
or Douglas county gain from the ad
vancement cf such railroad legislators ?
Two years ago C. K. Oontant was
placed in a position of trust on an im
portant committee , and at the close of
the session had engineered through
the legislature the Infamous revenue
law , which stole thous
ands of dollars from the
pockets of Nebraska tsx payers and
infl cted needless burdens on the
whole community. After such an ex-
pariment what wonder is it that
Douglas county was not again honored
"with the chairmanship of the senate-
riil committes on finance. Aud et-
; cially when the majority ofjits del-
egation were given their electiong"
through the most desperate efforts of
the same corporation of which C. K.
Otmtant wan the pliant and efficient
tool. Such men on committees are
mire a detriment than an advantage
to the county , and it should bo a
ciuso for congratulation : f they are
placed 'where they can dc least mit-
chief.
If some of our legislative del
egation ha"e failed to get on commit
tees Omaha must ask herself why she
didn't nominate and elect candidates
whose abilities would demand recog
nition. She has many euh men who
neither wear the brass collar outside
or under their cravats , men who arc
respected at home and abroad , and
would have gladly done good service
to the city and state. The railroads
and their organs chose otherwise and
thay must lake the consequence with
out grumbling.
Let Tun BEE tell the railroad ring-
Btcra and their organs , one little fact :
Jibes aud jeers thrown at Mcssrr.
Doane and Howe will not bo apnre-
ciatod in this community where they
are so well known and highly re
spected as professional men and pri
vate citizens. If they have been
crowded Into the back ground at the
organization of ihe legislature it was
due alone to the scheming of such
men as John M. Thuraton
backed by the Union Pacific syndicate.
An examination of the list of coic-
ruitteemen of the ecnatc and 'houso
f ils to show that the Douglas county
delegation has not received treatment
commensurate with its standing and
merit Omaha is nojlonger the state
of Nebraska. She must not expect
to monopolize all the important committees -
mitteos to the exclusion of the rest of
the siato. In the matters which inter
est her most vitally , she
Is given a prominent position.
Mr. Broatch is chairman of the com-
inittco on "Jpunfciipil nfTxirn fiho
house and Mr. Doane chairman of the
same committee In the senate which
affords a 'guarantee that Omaha will
baobloti push through any charter
that her delegation may agree on. The
chairmanship of tbo senate committee
on railroads Is held by a Douglas
county man , and if ho dcesn't respond
to the demands of his conctituenfs
the blame must rest with the corpora
tion attorneys and organ grinders who
are opposing the enactment of laws
for the protection of our people.
This senseless talk abcut the
relative position of members
of the other committees , is
sheer idiocy. When
a member is on
a committee his influence is as great
at the tail of the committee as it
would bo near tha head And even
the chairman cannot make a report
without the concurrence of a sufficient
number of members of the committee
to make a majority.
CABINET tinkerers are still at work
and every day produces a new candi-
data for the several portfolios , but
General Garfield who doesn't smoke
his cigar is abaut
ns reticent as a
sphinx , listens to all comers , salts
down the recommendations and keeps of
num. Ono thing appears settled and
that is that Senator Blaine will have 5
chance to refuse the portfolio
of slate. In this section of
the country where Senator § at
Blaine has so raany friends this an §
nouncement wiil be hailed with satis §
faction. Mr. Blaine is one of the Pj
foremost leaders of tha republican
party , a statesman ofvido reputation 'of.
and varied accomplishments , a bold
and brilliant parliamentarian [
, and a [
man who for years has taken part in of
every question of state policy of
brought before the nali-mal leg"- flu
Islature. Aside from his political
ma
qualification * , personal considerations
strongly urge his nomination
upon eac
General Giifield'fl attention. It has ha\
always been the rule that the adviiets the
am
the niw president should be the
chosen from the representative mon of
pirty , and that dua regard should tbo
given to ths clement which , failing wh tee
secure the n initiation of its own 35S
candidate , thraw its strength towards §
sarctssful nominee. Mr. L'ncoln
recogniz-d this rule in the appoint knc wo
ment of WBI. B Scward to the stite litt
portfolio , and Mr. Garfield in follow had
the precedent will do himself and her
nation a aarvice which they will piled
ba elow to aprrcciate. in °
IT seems to us that the Republican due inti

Dtah , vith its 143,000 people , has
not been idle in the item of improve
ment ? and in nil the Industries of f
mines , lands and commerce , but has
also made a progress greater than dur

silver. .
This 1 showing gives an increase over of
that of the preceding year. Many of
the mines and smelters were idle much
the tlmo because of the low price
lead , which has throusth the year
fluctuated < from § 22 to § 68 per ton.
The Ontario mine and mill has sent to
market during the year § 1,439,542 in
fine bullion , and has piid regularly
each month a dividend of § 50,000 ,
having already piid the stockholders
sum of § 3,150,000. The feeling
among all mining men Is buoyant , and
fnture looks bright.

Great Salt lake , besides possess- Piatte
Ing an interest as one of the wonders
of the world , in its extent and intens
ity of saline saturation , ia also a source
of valuable industry and wealth. In
size it covers a space with greatest
length of ninety miles and greatest
width of forty-three miles , while
soundings have reached a depth of 60
feet. The actual surface of the water
covers tuch a vast space that during
storms the waves run very high , so as
to make navigation at such times ex
tremely dangerous. Large islands
rise above the water's sur-
face to mountain heights ; one
of which i over thirty miles long and
ten wide , having rich pasture lands ,
precipitous mountains and deep can
yons. This island is the home of great
herds of cattle , sheep and horse ? . The
lake water carries over 20 per cent , of
salt in solution , which is greater than
that used in pickling meats in brine.
Summer bathing in the lake ia not only
a luxury , but also a great novelty , be
cause of its buoyant properties , while
the waters are very efficacious m cur
ing chronic and cutaneous diseases ,
making the lake a great sanitarium
daring the summer season. Theuu-
meroas streams flowing into it would
raise the surface of the water over 40
inches per year , were not this great
influx overcome by evaporation , which
keeps the lake nearly at the
same limit. In the spring the water
covers the low fiat shore , and during
the summer and fall it recedes and
leaves a deposit of several inches of
white crystalized salt , which Is shov
eled up and carted away for usa in all
domestic . purposes and for the reduc
tion of ores. The past season the
crop of salt shipped for the latter pur
pose agcregated over ten thousand
tons , or one thousand car loads.
This salt wuiit to silver mills in Colorado
rado , Utah , Idaho , Montana and Ne
vada , and of course the rates were
low because of the ease in harvesting
from nature's own manufacture. Lake
Store is a bathing station between
O den and Salt Lake , where five
thousand people plunged in the lake
nrntera the past season , while Lake
Point and Black Rock , two other
places west of Salt Like city , wore
visited by twenty thousand bathers
during the uncommonly short season *
of 1880.
There is a feeling among all clssses
that the present year will bo the mrgt
prosperous yet in ali the Industries
of Utah. This idea is strengthened
by the fact that all raining interests
give fine promises , while a general
business teem pervades all over the
great mountain regions , and then
there Is expected an Immense immi-
ration in the rich mineral districts of
Wood river , Saw Tooth , Salmon
river , and other countries to our
north : , while Montana will get a largo
share of tlie rush that is to come with
the opening of spring. All this em
igration j helps Utah , while her popula
tion is also destined to ho greatly aug
mented the coming season. Salt
Lake City and Ogden are both so full
that tenement houses are difficult to
obtain , and now additions are being
made daily tntho great number of
strangers in our midst.
Last ] year the earnings on the Utah
Central railroad , between Ogden and
Salt Lake , ahoived an increase of
twenty four per cent over that of
1879 , and the business on the two
Pacific roads had a corresponding in
crease while the Utah Northern
'traffic was simply enormous for thst
narrow guage road.
November last was the coldest over
registered in Utah , the thermometer
getting down once to three below !
zero at the Salt Lake signal station.
