LOKISO is now chief of the department of agriculture and the impossibility of 'growing cab bages out of radish seeds -will once more force itself upon the attention of the 'western fanners. JIM.WIXSOX made the greatest effort of his * life at Davenport In favor of curbing the" greed of monopolies whose obedient sen-ant he was during his whole life time. Jim knows a Hung or two about the monopolies if he only wanted to telL THE Jews form nearly one-eighth of the populatioh of Poland. During the ten ycar&rule of the first Cossack -'iHetman , " no fewer than 250,000 -Jews perished in Poland and Ukraine alone. The present persecution of the Jews in Russia is the third since the-time of Peter the Great WHEN Mr Cook was first interview ed the Holly plan was just the thing , but upon closer investigation he dis covered that tliat scheme was entirely misuited to our locality. If Mr. Cook will take time enough to look up the subject of sewers lie will come to the same conclusion that engineer Phillips .arrived at some years ago. OUR wide-awakelocal contemporary , with a republican label , exhibits un usual enti prise in palming off a batch " " extracted from of bogus "specials , eastern exchanges , reconstructed and padded out to suit the political ten dencies "of the self-styled stalwarts. If the Western Union monopoly was compelled to subsist on such patronage , it would go into bankruptcy. ITS all very well to claim 3G,000 pco- plo for Omalia , but Omaha won't liavc -30,000 people twelve montlis from now iF he don't keep step with the march of public improvement. The building of a few brick blocks , an elevator and a Hotel , is not all -that is needed to build up a city. We must give employ ment tolaborrnake our streets passia- ble , drain < 5ur cesspools , close up our crooks , and give the boom a substan tial foundation. "WITHOUT disparaging the commend- "Table efforts of Mr. W. C. B. Allen I1' to advertise the resources of Nebraska , * - udtho advantages of Omaha as a its * trade gontre , "wo must rewind him . that ho 'is doing more harm than good ' by publishing extravagant and unreliable - reliable statistics. The so-called re view of the commerce and manufac- ! na Bccrctary of the Omaha Board oi gTrado wiu such a compound of glar- -v ing exaggeration and guesswork , that /'none but the most credulous would J accoptnw "facts. For instance , tlie report - . port represented the aggregate whole- y8al < ? trade of Omalia , for the yearJSSO , , at about forty millions. A careful * compilation made by.us , with the " " "assistance of wholesale dealer and commercial agencies , with thi most liberal allowance , did nol * foot up. inoro than twelve millions. J Everybody knows that the -wholesale traio of Kansas City and St. Josepl is by far greater tlian that of Omaha , and neither of those cities claim t < aggregate' more than1 ' § 20,000,000 oi * * * Bales. It is obvious that reckless guess work in the matter of commercial statistics as well as crop reports ii injurious rather then beneficial , since the lie once published must be stuck U from year to year or an apparent falling * off would create the impression thai " - tliere is a .collapse in the' commerce 01 " industrial production of > urcityanc state. Omaha and Nebraska are do ing well enough. Let us stick to the honest truth in reporting progress anc we shall be believed ; otherwise w ( f shall-be rated as a mushroom city , in * jlialutcd jby a jet of braggarts. THE Herald lias pumped Mr Cookj the waterworks cnginceer , aboul sewers and sewerage with , the evidenl object of drawing out something to sustain its own position in opposition "to the proposed sewer bonds. Mr. Cook started out by informing the JFenild pumping machine tliat ho had paid no attention to the work here and could only speak in a gen eral way. Tliis admission alone shows tliat Mr. Cook's invoice of stock idejis is of no special value in our case. Mr. Cook says that the cities arc now building small pipe sewers in preference to large sewers. First , because they are cheapci and second , because the Jarcc sewers generate more malarial gas and arc not - so easy to clean by flush ing. Nobody will dispute these cousclusions , but thej do not meet the case. Omaha mus' ' provide some means for covering thi .two creeks that .now obstruct trarc rand arc becoming a dangerous breede : of disease. The propoBod North and Soutl Omalia sewers arc really subtcrancai canals tliat will supplant these creeks Neither M * . Cook or .any other cngi ncer can devise any better plan t < meet the case than the construction oi sen-era. Nobody is Juny enough t < advocate iewers of the same size foi draining other portions of the city. Mr. Phillips , vbote reputation a : a competent sewerage engineer , Mr. Cook will not dare assail , was engagec by our city some years ago to investi gate" our peculiar topography ani . draw plans for a system of sewerage that would meet our want Mr , Phillips spent many weeks ii this labor , and the city paid hiii $1,500 forJiis * service * . It can hardh " at' the cursory view * o liodoes : not pretend .t < have investigated the drainage o ffOraaha , are to'beiaken in preferena to the advice of an engineer who ha ! made the surveys of the -whole city , noted the elevations and depressions , and , in fact , established our prcsenl system of grade * with a.view . of making them-conform with thi plans he drew for our system of seven , THE ISSUE A . - When ajlongjand explicitictter to' whichlHe re ba action were set forth at greatdgngth. ! he public were given to understand > y the resigning senators that an issue great and paramount importance lad been raised by' the president's ac- ion in the Robertson case , and ' ' = "WlEr'ealled hat the empire' Etate' upon to pass its approval or , disapproval of "the manner iiTwhich i senators liad faced1 that issue. In fc * K-M * * y other words , through ! their friends and on theh- party organs , both' senators > laeed thcmselres in lhe""pc > se of nartyrs to the principle of senatorial werogative as against'-exccutive arro- jance and appealed toQhe legislature of tlieir state to endorse or disapprove heir position. Senator Conkling underrated the eeling against his course,1- which at once made itself manifest : throughout he state. It was plainly not lis intention at first to make a > crsonal canvass of the legislature and by wire pulling and political log- oiling to dra through the senate and assembly an endorsement which , once obtained , would be entirely valueless. le felt certain tliat a legislature elected to return to congress a person al friend and political colleague , would lot require much urging to follow so strong a hint as tliat given by his sud den desertion .of his post in - Washington ton , and he utterly failed lo'lake into account the rapidly growing sentiment n'favor of the administration which was making itself so strongly felt in every section of tho.state . of New York. A few days were sufficient to show Mr. Coukling his mistake and ic is now engaged in an active canvass 'or a re-election to the United States senate winch robs tlusresignation oi every element of' dignity and clears , he real issue involved of every ves- ; ige of false sentiment. The present position of Mr. Conk- iing practically resolves itsel , nto an appeal to the republi can party , . * in New York to say hethor ft.approves of Mr. Conk ing's news as' toJTederal patronage New York Republicans are asked to say" whether they believe that'Fedcra appoinfinents shouldVbe made solely : rom political considerations and onlj with the consent of the senators representing - senting the state for which the anoint ment is destined. And they arc fur ther required to give their opinion whether a refusal of the president to consult'the partisan wishes of the sen ators is an insult to their constituents , which can only be met by an attitude of determined resistance to the ad ministration. This is the issue which Mr. Conk- ling's personal canvass at Albany is intended to solve in his favor , the is sue of Conklingism or Republicanism boss rule or party supremacy. The revulsion of feeling'against Mr. Conkling in liis own state indicates how clearly this issue is understooc by the people. Every Republican journal of weight in the Empire state lias taken lx > ld stand against the dictatorship of Mr. Conkling and the " pernicious doctrine which he is endeavoring- faslei upon the party. The New York one of the most stal wart supporters of the ex-senator anc liis candidate General Grant , appeals to-tho legislature and the people note to return Mr. "Oonkling to the senate and bring down disaster and reproacl upon the party which he has so gross ly misrepresented. Petitions arc Ho wing in' upon1 tlio legislature "fron every sccUpn pf Ul v state protesting against even a mock endorsement o the course , of the late senators and urging' the elcctioi * * -f * * ? ofmen who will represent * republicai ideas and oppose seftaVorial usurpation such as Mr. Conkling and his colleague champion and defend. "It is grcatl ; to 1x5 desired" 'says th'e New York Times , "that the republican candidates for the senate should be men of higl character and established fep'ulalion. The more completely this condition is fulfilled the more signal- and uscfu the victory will be of repuolicanisii over Conklingism , the more strikiiv would be the advance over the misrep rescntation to which the party and th state Jiavc been subjected under { h reign of Mr. Conkling. Keeping thi requirement in view it ought .not tc be difficult to elect twb senatprs wh will serve their countryand their part } honorably , and who will obey th constitution , simple conditions of th senatorial office which 3Ir. Conkling and -Mr. Platt nrq , , by their own , act shown to be no longer able to fulfill. " Wn have no apology to make for Senator Jones' vote for Stanley Mat thews , nor do we agree with him ii his efforts to canonize Conkling We do however consider it contemptible and ungrateful on the part' of certaii notorious monopoly organs like the ChicagoJ" fcr 0cein0maha JKcpulK can and Burlington H-nckcyt to turn around and latiipoon Senator Jones for his course on the Matthews noini nation When it 'is a knowi ) fact tha these papers profcsss as much friend ship for Oonkling Senator Jono. docs "while at the same time they.wca brass collars of monopolies.

OREGON. The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows met in Portland hist week. A gang of a dozen burglars are working the Willamette valley. The American Exchange Hotel at Portland was destroyed by fire List week. Loss , § 3000. Caterpillars in masses have appeared n Southern Oregon and are now rapid- y consuming all vegetation. The Willamette river is so low that no boats can run above Salem , and only one between Portland and Salem. So few fishermen go out now at As toria that the price of salmon will un doubtedly be raised to CO cents per fisli. fisli.The The salmon season is now about half gone , and the canneries have been worked only on half capacity. It is a poor run. A large steamboat built at Celilo for the Northern Pacific railroad transfer at Ainsworth was launched on Frida3 * . She is capable of accommodating six passenger coaches and twelve freight cars of the standard gauge each trip. The Oregon Railway and Naviga tion company have about three thous and men employed in the construction of the railroad between the Dalles and the Cascades. The % vork is progress ing rapidly , and the track will be laid From Walla Walla to Grange City in time for this years' harvest. "WASHINGTON. The Northern Pacific road is expect cd to be completed by the fall of 1885 from Lake Superior.to Pugct Sound. A Port Blakely sawmill when com pleted will be 450 feet long , and the daily cutting capacity will be 200,000 Feet of lumber. The Northern Pacific railroad is go ing to build up Spokane Falls. Al ready sonic of the "head men" have built residences there. The machine shops of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company are to be built at Walla Walla. The cost will be $100,000 , and the shops will employ 100 men steadilj- . The station building will cost $200,000. A party of capitalists from Colfax. with some of the business men of Cheney , have formed a stock company and raif xl the snug sum of § 10,000 toxmrd the constructi9ii of a'first-class grist mill at Cheney.

Over 80,000 buffalo robes have been harvested in Montana this season. There is now on the Blood reserva tion nearly or quite 2,000 Indians , principally Bloods. The question of organizing a South ern Montana Fair Association at Dil lon , is being agitated. The Josephite branchof the Mor mon church liave held their semi annual conference at Santa Anna. The loss by the burning of the Alta Montana works at Buttc will reach $200,000. The works are to be re built It is reported that there are forty emigrant wagons , with as many families , on the way from Oregon to Gallatin Valley. Persons from the ranges report that there is a wonderful product of calves this spring. It is thought to be 25 per cent greater than usual. Parties in from the Ruby valley re port that the general outlook for an enormous harvest in that section far exceeds that of any previous season. The Sisters of Lcavenworth intend erecting a $15,000 hospital in Buttc during the present season. It will be built near the location of the Catholic Church. The Mexicans running arastras in Beavcride district , Inyo county , Cnl. , cleaned up for their last month's run , 70G | ounces of bullion , worth aboui $14.50 per ounce $11,550. The best authority in the Territory on cattle matters , says that the loss in the Sun River district is about 15 per cent , and the average loss throughoul the Territory about 10 per cent The placer diggings of Bitter Root are now almost at a standstill , on ac count or a scarcity of water ; but gold enough has already been taken out to guarantee good pay for bringing in water through a three-mile ditch. The placer mines at Warm Springs are turning out splendidly. One loca tion in which work has been progress ing turned out $ GOO in eight days , and other locations indicate as welL The most reassuring part of the mat ter is that splendid discoveries are be ing made in quartz , and the ores so far discovered run among the riches ) in the territory. NEVADA. The cattle in Nevada are said to number one-quarter of a million. In Mason valley the grasshoppers have made their appearance in mighty swarms. The supreme court of Nevada has decided that the lottery bill is uncon stitutional and that no lottery tickets can be sold in that state. Since the adjournment of theNevada legislature last March two members oi that body have been killed. Tfyo firs,1 was Capt Adams , of Eureka , and the second was George Blair , of Osceola , White Pine county , who died two oi three days since from wounds inilictet by J. R. Middleton. In excavating for a sewer at Carson a few days since the laborers dis covered an old iron safe of primitavc gryle. Eighteen years ago a similar safe containing 7jOOO in mqney , and also . several valuable pap r"d mysteriously disappeared from a busi ness house in Carson during a fire. Interested parties will have the present "find" opened in the hope that it maj contain all or part of the stolen wealth. UTAH. Prospecting is lively in th.e South : cm country , " The troubles at Silver Reef have quieted down. Grasshoppers are feared in the Weber valley. A gigantic mastodon is bsing exhib ited in Salt Lake.

A new strike in the famous Horn Silver mine , in Utah , of an immense body of $400 ore on the third level , proving the minn to bo a true fissurfe , jrowing better as it grows deeper , is another agreeable surprise in tliis great mine which is already a marvel among mines. The last strike is said to be the richest large body of ore yet Found , and competent authority places the largest amount of ore in sight be tween the first and third levels at an amount sufficient to make a net profit of $15,000,000. * ARIZONA. Eggs arc 30 cents and butter 50 cents in Pres'cott The railroad from Sonora will run through Tuscon. The highest peak of tiie Santa Cat- aline mountains has been named Mount Rice. Silver King has thirty-seven build ings , mostly frame , the estimated cost of which is $52,700. Placers have been discovered west of Seymour , paying by dry wash from $40 to $50 a day. Tip-Top with their ten stamp mills luis turned out $120,000 in the last two montlis. The ore from Tombstone is hauled to the mills on the San Pedro river , at a cost of S4 per ton. Nearly 500 tons per day are now shipped and the yield of bullion is close on to $500,000 per month. WYOMING. Rawlin's copper prospects are im proving. Rawlins has organized a building association. The Cheyenne fire department will observe Decoration Day. Laramic City has 501 children of the age to attend school. The court house at Cheyenne has been put in through repair. The oil wells north of Point of Rocks will be worked at once. Machine and car shops will at once be erected by the U. P. at Cheyenne. Friday the" well known interpreter of the Northern Araphoes , died at Black Coal's camp , on Wind River , last week He was finely educated , and 70 years of age. Great excitement prevails in Laramie over the ravishing 'of Mrs. M. Watson , a ranchman's wife , living on the Platks near Laramie. Two outlaws perpetrated the deed. Armed men are in pursuit. "WYOMING. The rolling mill at Laramie will be enlarged. A vein of copper 22 feet in'width has been discovered 10 miles west efFort Fort Laramie. Diphtheria is raging in Evanston , and several children have died during the past week. Some Chinamen purchased a claim on Swcctwnter and have imported about 20 of their countrymen to work the same. 'Green river , Wyoming , is higher at this season of the year than it has been for a great many years. Evanstonians are some what troubled over the probability of its railroad business being1 taken from it 011 ac count of this new railroad and trans ferred to Granger or some other place convenient to the. new road. There have been some very promis ing quartz claims discovered on Strawberry , and as there is no doubt but what the gold found in the gulches was not carried far as it shows particles of quartz attached to it , tliere will bo some good mines located this spring in the Swectwater country. COLORADO. Golden is to bo lit with gas. The Denver Orphans' Homehos4 , . 000 in the bank. The U. P. will build a road up Boulder canyon. Work is at once to begin on the Re form school. An attempt was made last week , at Breckenridgc , to blow up a Chinese laundry. ' The new depot at Denver will be lit with the electric light. The Robin&on smelter is turning out about $150,000 worth of bullion per month. A new vein of carbonate of lead ore has been struck in the Revenue mine .at Bonanza. The third Tail on the Denver .and Rio Grande track at the Union depot at Denver , is laid. - Colorado Springs is about to build a one hundred thousand dollar hotel. The Denver & Rio Grande entered Silver Cliff last week amid great re joicings. The North Star mine at Sjlvorton has 1,300 feet of development and 2,800 tons of ore on the dumps. The , ore mills from 70 to 100 ounces per ton and 40 per cent lead. At the Maud S. lode , on Silver mountain , there is from 30 to 40 tons of concentrating ore ready for ship ment thai will mill .upon an average about one and a half ounces of gold per ton. The prospects ot the Snake river district , and especially the upper waters of both branches of the Snake , are attracting considerable attention. The Denver and Rio Grande sur veying party , under Mathias , is hem med-in by Indians , and has lost all its provisions in the Roaring Fork. Re lief has gone from Lcadvillc. A party of surveyors , representing the Greelej" , Salt Lake and Pacific railway , have surypyod thn line from Fort Collins to Greeloy , forming a junction with the Denver Pacific. Some very fine specimens ot native copper are shown from a mine on Gold hill , Ten Mile. The exact location of this propertj- not yet learned , but the richness and beauty of the ores .cannot long keep the properiya secret. It is said tluvt the discovery was ni.\te ; tilling wp iks or months inco , and that a very great Attempt has been made to keep the matter quiet. Mississippi Bivor Route. San Francisco Chronicler" TJie Mississippi river route for gram , since the improvement of tljat utream by tlioEud jutty system , sup plemented by nn effective system of dredging , lias lifted JTew Orleans out of the mire of commercial inactivity in which she had been sitting for twenty years , and promises to give her ship ping rank second only to New York , at least as an exporter. What the Crescent City gains in this respect the great city at the southern extremity of Lake Michigan must chietly lose The best customers of the river route are Missouri , Kansas , NebraskaIowa Minnesota and Illinois. These six states produce nearly one-half of the wheat and com , pork- and provisions tliat are exported yearly from the country east O.f the Rouky mountains ; and Chicago lias so far enjoyed the next thing to a mo nopoly of this trade. It lias been her bonanza. It is ' the'sfecret nfh.er un- eiualed gjowth ; , for , although her manufactories are large and increas ing , in the main they depend on her inland shipping , and are of a kind in to which grain , pork , beef and feed enter extensively as the- raw material. Take away from Cliicago half of these vast inland trade and a third or a fourth ofthe means of her future pros perity will disappear and center' ' in New -Orleans. If ships and ocean steamers of twenty-six feet draft can come and go through the mouth of the great river without impediment , it is certain that * grain elevators , cattle yards , ' packing ; houses and all the "es sentials of quick and cheap modern methods of transportation will be call ed into existence at the southern com mercial emporium and every new growth 'there will subtract something trom-the importance of the emporium on the-Loke. Moreover , it will also cut in' upon the trade of New York , and the railway system that connects her with these six great western states For the operatioiift' a single year have. dcnionstrateTtlnl\ho river route is the cheapest and that railways can not successfully compete with it in tfie transportation of grain and bread- stuffs. Inspired by this threatening situa tion , the business men of Chicago and New York have called a "Northwest ern Convention , " to meet a.t Daven port , Iowa , on the 25th of this month , for the purpose of devising means for the cutting of , a canal from a point on the Mississippi , near Rock Island , to Hennepin , on the Illinois river , where it is to connect with a canal already in operation , giving a continuous water route from Hennepin to Chicago , and when the new canal .is made , from Rock Island to Chicago. This , to quote from an e itorial in The New Tribune , "would practically extend the great northern line of water transit between New * York and the west , formed by the Hudson river , the Erie canal and the' lakes so tliat it would reach St. Paul. " There is already a water route from Rock Island to Chicago , but it goes a rounabout way , which makes it six times as-long as the route across the State of Illinois by rail , and therefore not as cheap as the railway route. The proposed route for the new canal has been carefully "sun-eyed , and is two miles shorter than the shortest line of railway. The cost of the work is va riously estimated. One estimate is as high as $4,500,000 , and then as lowas $3,900,000. This hist is for a canal six feet deep , sixty feet wide at the top , with locks 150 feet long , which the Tribune says will allowtheuse of boats as large as the largest size employed on the Erie Canal. The total dis tance by this all-water route from the upper Mississippi to Chicago , is stated at 180 miles , but the now canal re quired will bo only sixty-five miles. The New York paper expects of it that it will bring all the towns on the ur > - , per Mississippi in direct all-water com munication with New York , and that it will check the tendency of the pro ducts of Io\ya , Illinois , Minnesota and Western Wisconsin to- New Orleans by the river route. Perhaps it may. It will do something in that line if the canal is made as free as the river , and in that case it would become a sure check on the rapacity of the rail ways as long as the water lines arc free from ice. THE WATER WAT. Conclusions Reached Tjy tlio Daven port Convention Tlio Barge Route and Honnopin CanaL DAVECTOKT , IOWA , May 2G. The north-westenrriver improvement and canal convention reassembled this morning. Some twenty additional delegates reported , making the num ber in attendance over 400. State delegations named one member each for the committee on resolutions , .as follows : Edward Russel and S. M. Clark , of Iowa , to vote as one ; John Phillips , of Missouri ; Gan. T. J. Hen derson , of Illinois ! M. M. Powers , of Ohio ; B. J. Stcphenson , of Wiscon sin ; Wm. Chamberlin , of Maryland : John L. Sweltz , of J cw York ; 0. C. Mqrrimun , of Minnesota , and Judge S. "C. Havings , of California. Pending ing the report of the committee , ad dresses were made by Governor V. O. Stannard , of St. Louis ; ex-Governor Bross , of Chicago ; Hon. John C. Starr , of Pcoria , Hon. John Hognn , of St. Louis. A communication , was read from the secretary of the Coun cil Bhifls board of trade , that a trans portation convention would be held in that city June 21. The committee on resolutions made a report na follows : The convention , representing the people of the Missis sippi valley and northwest , in pur suance of a call of the convention and in furtherance of the purposes thereof unanimously declare : First Congress should devise by law .and sustain by liberal and ufKcicnt appropriations , a system of cheap transportation by water route con necting the Mississippi river and its tributaries wirh the eastern Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico. Second It has been the policy of congress and the desire of the people of the northwest for many years to in augurate and complete a system of water channel improvement , having the Mississippi for its base ; . To give greater efficiency to this policy tliere should be constructed from the Mis sissippi river on the most direct and feasible route to the Illinois river at Ilonncpin , and thence to the lake at Chicago , a canal adequate to the pres ent and future transportation needs of that great part of the northwest to whose people such a work of internal improvement is an imperative necessity - ty for relief from expensive freight rates on tljc produce and commerce of the country , and that the work so long needed should be immediately com menced. ' Third The continued improve ment of the Mississippi river commis sion , created by an act of congress , is a work of great national importance. Congress ought to promote the scheme of imp ; onient by most liberal appro priations in a separate appropriation and bill therefor ; and wo emphasize and enforce in the united and earnest demand of the people of tli'e entire Mississippi valley tliat congress shall make prompt and adequate appropria tions for the improvement of the river and its navigable tributaries from the falls of St. Anthony to the Gulf of Mexico , and that this conven tion has no sympathy with i\ny policy that would dcprecuto or hinder that great ojUerprisg tif making fully navi gable ant ] Building up the great com merce upon this central river nature's great highway of the con tinent. Fourth We hail with peculiar satis faction the increasing success of the barge like system of transportation ot the Mississippi river , its tributaries and the relief it is to producers and shippers of the Jlissinsippi valley in cheapening heights. Fifth We heartily favor the pro posed cession of the Illinois and Mich igan canal and improvements on the Illinois river by the state of Illinois , and declare the Erie canal should be made free tolls ; we therefor hope for the earlj- success of the efforts inaugu rated to sccuro thc o rcsulto. ( [ This resolution was auplomenjal to the report ofthe committee on resolo- tions. by Mr. Russell , and was ad- dopted. ] Sixth That commissions under the auspices of which tliis convention has been called to be continued with the proviso that its membership hg en larged by the selection of an-addition al mcmhcr from each atato represented in this body which additional member shall be named by delegates of the respective states , the said commission to afterwards select its own officers and mature its own organization. Seventh The commission when reorganized .05 contemplated herein , will Le requested to select two gentle men from each state to present to con gress an appeal for support to work the internal improvement which \ ? contem plated by thefovogolng resolutions. The report was unanimously a'dopt- ed amit'st cheers. Mr. G. GrobeL. 542 Canal street , Chicago , told us that he would not live without a battle of St. Jacobs Oil , so liighly does he prize it.
