THE question at Albany is now whether Mr. Conkling or President Garfield was elected as chief executive Mr. Cornell will probably ansxver the question. WITH its four per cent bonds sell ing at $1.181 and three and a half per cents bringing four and a half per cent premium , the United States can well afford to be proud of its na tional credit JOE COOK is getting.hit on all sides.

THE Chicago Tiibunc makes the statement that the wheat crop of the United States will not aggregate more than two-thirds of List years' yield and that only" Ty&OO.OOO bushels of wheat remain in the elevators. This r seems to portend high prices during the coming winter and sqvcral lieavy noels to control the market. * " GAJIBETTA has won a'decisive victo ry by the passage 'of the bill for the election of deputies by a general tick et in each department This change to an election by departments , wliicli gill leave the minority in each depart- practically unrepresented , expected to place a strong * Mid well drilled majority in Gambetta's hands.

A SENATORS HUMILIATION. enemy ofHoscoe Conkling could wish him a' worse fate uan that which has befallen him aa'the result of his foolish and uncalled forresignation of his seat in the national senate. The unanimous vindication which his pat ronage friends so confidently predict ed lias turned to utter rout. The prestige of his past career , the record of lib party triumphs , the remem brance of his genius as a political or ganizer { .have all been swallowed up in the haste of his former friends , and political allies to place .themselves on the winning side. The rats have deserted- < 5 sinking . sliip. "When 'patronage unbounded was at his disposal no levees were so well attended as those of Senator Coukling at the Fifth Avenue. The praises of no parly chief were- sounded more loudly and the compliments and adulation of political henchmen were showered upon the virtual dispenser of three thousand offices and the rep resentative at AVashington of the wealthiest and most powerful state in the Union. To-day , Mr. Conkling , who was unanimously re-elected two years ago to his seat in the senate , finds himself compelled to beg for the endorsement of his friends and to cry quarter to liis enemies. Two weeks ago he proudly claimed an unanimous -endorsement , now he is content to regain by hooker or crook the proud position which he has forfeited , and even to ally him self with his former opponents in order to purchasea place in the senate. The result of the first two days bal- letting at Albany must have convinced the ex-senator that his political pres tige lias departed. Humilating as the knowledge must be to him , Mr. Conk ling can now understand how little of his political strength was due to his own qualities as a statesman and how much to his powers as a despenser of office. The earnest and overwhelming support which the state of Hew York. is giving to the administration which Senator Conkling challenged to per sonal conflict , must be wormwood an gall , to tlie ex-Senator , and to fill hi cup of humiliation to the brim , his most bitter enemy leads public opin ion against him in the legislature tc which lihe as appealed for support. It is one of the possibilities thai Mr. Conkling may yet bo chosen as his own successor , but such a victory would be indeed a barren one. Democratic ocratic support would bo gained at the expense of party confidence and , re turned to the senate under such aus pices , his influence in politics woul be forever lost. AMERICAN HORSES IN ENG LAND. Tlie magnificent victory won by tin American horse Iroquois at Epson Downs is an event of international in terest. 3Ir. Lorillard's successful venture will bring him a host of con gratulations from every American who has at heart the improvement and de velopment of [ racing stock in the Uni ted States. "Iroquois" is the first American horse that has ever gained a Derby. Several ventures of a like nature have been made heretofore by wealthy horse owners of the United States. In 1878 Mr. Sanford sent Mate Prcakness , Bay Final and Brown Prince across the water , and the Eng lish journals liailed the event as being of little importance. When , however , Brown Prince and Preakness made creditable appearance in several hand icaps and the latter was purchased by the Duke / > f Hamilton , our English cousins began to awaken to the possi bilities that lay before American horse breeders. . In-1878 Mr. Pierre Lorillard sent a number of horses from his New Jer sey stables to Kcwmarket races. 0 ; these Parole was the most noted. Ho won easily a number of handicaps whiloJUncas and Mistake also gained good positions. None of the American stud , as it was called , when subse quently reinforced by Mr. J. R. Keene's string , were considered as at alTforniidable competitors for the great international race the Derby , which founded a century ago on Epsom Downs , is the greatest sporting event of the year in England. Tliis season , however , when Mr. Lorillards , Iroquies and Mr. Keene'sj/'Don Fulauo obtained second and third places in the Two Thousand Guineas race at New Market the sporting journals of London ad mitted that should the American horses run at the Derby the question of the relative merits of English and American thoroughbreds would be thoroughly tested. Twenty thousand people crowded the * race . courco at Epsom Downs on Wednesday to witness the trial. Parliament had adjourned , many of the shops in London were closed. Nineteen thousand spectators arrived by rail from one station. The Prince of Wales , the Duke and Duches of Connaught aud a largo party of fricnls were present. Fifteen horses started and Iroquois , the first Ameri can horse that has ever obtained a place at Derby , after a magnificent contest passed first under the string. It is stated that his fortunate owners won $2,000,000 on the event. Aside from all pecuniary benefits which have accrued to Mr. Lorillard through the success of his entry , all the United States will reap a subatan tial reward from this victory. It settles the question whether our American stables can be worthy com petitors of the best bred and best trained English thoroughbreds. Eng land has , heretofore , led the world in blooded horse flesh , America now asserts her chum to be classed with England. THF TiTTE IN THE STATE.

South Western Chronicle : * THE OMAHA BEE comes to us this week en larged and dressed in a new suit , and claims to have the fastest presses be tween the Mississippi river and the Pacific Ocean. It is a handsome sheet at any rate , and sometimes happens to get on the right side of the question the anti-monopoly one for instance. West Point Progress : THE OMAHA BEE is out in a new dress from top to bottom. We have watched the strug gles of this paper from its inception , and despite the united and questiona ble efforts of jealous rivals to squelch it , it has reached the top round in the ladder of Nebraska journalism. Mr. Edward Rose water , you are a "stay er , " and no mistake. More power to your stinger. Wayne County Review : On Mon day last , THE OMAHA DAILY BEE took another important step forward , by putting on an entire new dress , a new and handsome head , and lengthening its columns so as to give nearly one- third more reading matter. We know that it is fashionable in certain circles to constantly jeer at Rosewater , and and speak sneeringly of the journal which he controls , but no one can deny that THE BES to-day is the leading .NEWs-paper of Nebraska , and that it wields a powerful in- fiucnco in the affairs of the state. While THE BEE , in our opinion , makes many mistakes , and i a little given to the pernicious habi of bolting nominations which it ca : not control , it is in no sense " "tiimmer , " and can always be" foun one eido or the other of the grea questions of the day. fighting manful ! for that which it believes to bo right The stand which it has taken on thi side of the people in the war agains corporate monopolies , is more thai enough to atone for its past political sins and heresies , and we trust that it may continue to lead the press of Nebraska - braska in the good fight , until thi producer shall enjoy equal rights witl the transporter , and the power nf rail road monopolies to control venal legis latures shall bo abolished forover. Senator Fair. The Hour. It is a curious circumstance that'al four of the Bonanza people are Irish men by birth three Roman Catholics , while Fair is so muoh of a Protestan as to bo called an Orangeman. It i remarkable , by the way , how many oi the mine owners and minesupcrinten dents are Irishmen. In moro thai : two-thirds of the mines on the Pacifi Coast the superintendent or his first- assistant hails from the land o ; O'Connell and Parnell , and they arc generally faithful if not ultra-pious Roman Catholics. The wholesale houses on the Pacific coast are in the hands of tlS ) Jews' ' Americans are the politicians , tho' lawyers , tjjo rail ; roadmen and the speculators. Al though the best-known millionaires are Americans , it is , nevertheless true that moro than half of the wealth of tlie Pacific Coast is in the hands o : Irish Roman Catholics and Jews. The Irish spend tliejr money freely and do not make good specul tgrs , bu' they more than iijake up for it by their aptitude for practical mining. James G. Fair was born in 01oughor Tyrone County , Ireland , in Decem her , 1831. He came to this country in 1843 , attended school at Geneva , Illinois , whore some of his family still live. Ho was an oriijinal " 49er. In that year ho was at work on Long Bar , Feather River , California. H did not find it profitable , so ho turned his attention to quarts mining. If is first essay was at Angeles , Calaveras County. He soon ranked high as a good judge of mines and as an opera tor. In 1855 ho became supcrjntqnr dent of the Ophir mine , and in 1857 the Hale and Norcrosa mine came un der his direction. It was the Litter which gave Fab : liis start in the world. Soon after ho made a lucky guess Ho surmised that certain ground might contain a great deal * of rich ore. With the help of Fl a4 1)9 gecured the claim , slnco grown so famous throughout the world as the Consola ted Virginia and California mines. Senator Fair ownes seventy ftoros oi land in San Francisco and is the owner of a residence in Menlo Park , which is said to have cost 81,000,000. Ho has a wife and four children. Living so much underground in an unnatura ! atmosphere , holjaa been trpubled wjtl rheumatism and throat diseases , and once took a trip to Japan fur his health. Fair , ia not ag rich as either MacKay or Flood , for his possessions represent actual money taken from the mines rather than profits made on the Stock Exchange. Senator Fair is a democrat in politics , but he is on the ploasantcst personal terms with his associate , Senator Jones , who is a re publican. Land and Lai or in Russia , New York Tlnw. It is not generally known that the emancipation popularly ascribed to Alexander TT , was really devised by his father , Nicholas , in ardor to coun terpoise the nobility by creating a strong middle class , the want of whicl is Russia's greatest calamity. The grcafragrarian reform plannedby Gen. Melikoff just before his downfall , may be called a supplement , or , rather , a revision , of the work of 18G1. The 55,000,000 souls then inhabiting Russia proper ( t. * . ; exclusive of Fin land , Poland , and the Caucasus ) com prised 1,000,000 nobles , 610,000 ecclesiastics , 4,000,000 burgossoa , 23- 000,000 serfs , and 20,000,000 free peasants. Of the trading class nearly all were grossly illiter ate , and many quite as igno rant aud brutal as the peasants them selves , a fact which quickened the zeal of Alcnander H. for the elevation of the latter. Both the freedmen aud the free peasants were encouraged to buy or lease land , and most of them did so. It was a fatal step. On the rich Southern soil a few throve almost in spite of themselves , but in the swampy West , the stony North , and the parched East matters went steadily from bad to worse. The money raised for land or rent burdened the ! small farmers with an ever-increasing Load of debt , soon argumcnted by that of over-taxation. In 13G6 , when the loud question first became a national problem in Russia , the yield of the "Podushni Podat" ( poll tax ) was 30,600,000 rubles ( $22,950,000. ) In 18G7 it was 35- , 825,000 rubles ; in 18G8 , 41,075,000 ; in 1869 , 41,707,000 ; in 1870 , 42,513- 000 ; in 1871 , 42,9(56,000 ( ; in 1872 , 43- , 306,000 , an increase of very nearly 50 per cent , in fact , in the taxes of an almost stationary population. Then came protests , agitations , and that ex cited talk"of reform which is the rec ognized official substitute for reform itself. But , while this passed away , the growing distress remained. The freed serfs , accustomed from infancy to be cared for by their -owners , were quite helpless when suddenly forced to rely on themselves alone. Their farms , itorth barely 35 cents an acre , though frequently purchased at $1 , seldom , if ever , sufficed to keep them. Successive bad harvests , epidemics , floods , , exorbitant usury , paralyzed what little energy the poor creatures had. Many forsook their holdings \nd flocked to the towns in quest of Hrork. Others -a most unheard of step for a Russian emigrated out right. These causes and the vast con scription of 1877 have depressed agri culture to such an extent that the government , having tried in vain to stimulate foreign " immigration by tempting offers of free hind and stock , lias lately been forced to prohibit jrain exportation altogether. Gen. Mclikoffs sweeping .remedy of i compulsory sale of Jand , to takc effect ' ' fect before January1883 , 'may re lieve the peasants from Iho late riots it Kieff and Elizavetgrad. But who ; : an warrant the pcrmaneucy of the : uro 1 Were every acre of the Russian > oil to bo transferred to-morrow , thd apse of a few years would probably jnd matters as bad.as . ever * To be stow good land upon a class which clings obstinately to the barbarous farming of the fifteenth century , rejects or misapplies all modern improvements , uses plows and har rows of wood scantily tipped with iron , and knows next to nothing either of subsoil or of surface drainage , is merely casting pearls before swine. Reform , to be effectual , must deal not with the farms , but with the farmers. Economy , foresight , self-helpfulness cannot well be expected of men accus tomed to live from hand to mouth , and imbibing with Iheir.mother's milk ' the creed that what was' good enough 'for their fathers is good enough for them. One day in an ordinary Rus sian village is an-ample reply to all rose-colored theories. Half-clad - - vaga bonds loafing around tumble-down shanties , s.illow , unwholesome-looking men scratching the earth with wooden plows , acres of unclearedthicket or oozy morass , rough roads worn into gaping ruts , clumsy carts creeping to market at two miles an hour , begging priests filling their'sacks with the gifts of starving peasants , men dying of fever or cholera from sheer lack of medical aid such facts cannot bo an nihilated by an official .formula or an imperial signature ; and as Pitt said when taunted with his youth , "The cure must bo left to time.

Crop Prospects in Phelps and Buffalo Counties Kear ney Items. Correspondence of Tlie Bee. KEAKNKY , Neb. , May 30. It is not very generally known that Nebraska has a few very beautiful lakes. Some years ago in company with a govern ment surveying party I visited a num ber of small lakes forming a chain parallel to the North Platte river , thirty miles to the north of it. These are among the sand hills , and it is the opinion of many that underground connection ia sustained between the lakes. They are illy fed by springs , and receive no streams , The head source of Blue Creek is through the sand from the foot of this chain. Occasional lakes are found among tljo hills in other parts or northern Nebraska and email lakes and lagoons abound in the low bottoms of the larger streams in the state ; but a lake of any size on the high prairie of Ne braska is a real cunosit } * . Such , how ever , is found on the divide between the Platte and Republican rivers in Phqlps county. Sacramento laku , as it is called , cpvera.at tliQ prQsont tiinp about one thousand acres of land and is eight or nine feet deep. It usually covers only about four hundred acres and is about five feet deep. Two small sail boats have been provided for pleasure excursions. During the extreme drouth of List season it became luarly dry , but a great quantity of sno\v fell in the Sac ramento Valley last winter and exces- sjvo rqins tlu fa.r during tlje qeeson has s\vellpd it to unheard of proper ? tions. It is situated in the center of tj lareeiiiea qf alnjost level table land , but litllq lowar thrn the surround * ing country. It has neither outlet nor inlet'and contains but few if any fish , the testimony ot near resi dents differing on this point. Tlin TOWN OF SACRAMENTO about : i milo from the lake , is little more than one year old ; but it is a thriving Ijttlo business place , and has outstripped all other inland towns in this part < if the state. For this much credit is. duo to the character , business ability ande-ergy of Us merchants , A drug store , hardware store , and two houses of general merchandise are all serving a splendid patronage , one single firm having received four car loads of goods since the highwater trouble. TIJE CROP ? IN metre The crops \n \ Peeing county are jn excellent condition , and the ground is very thoroughly saturated. A contin uation of the recent heavy rains may prevent corn ground being worked and otherwise injure all kinds of grain This section of country yielded ten bushels of wheat per acre last year , while elsewhere many pieces wore not worth cutting. The consequent faith in this as wheat land has nearly doub led the qcreago qf vlieat sqwn.last year , . THE CROP PROSPECT IN BUFFALO county was never better. There will bo nearly the usual acreage of corn , but all Li not yet planted. The in. crease in wheat acreage is about equal to the amount of now ground broken last year. KEARNEY , THE METROPOLIS of the county , lias a very good trade. This town was laid out in 1872 and has steadily grown since. It now claims 2,000 people and now dwellings appear each week. A canal project js on foqt , which if successful 'vill insure to Kearney a bright fuhcre. The Platte river is to bo tapped fourteen miles above by a canal leading to the bench land ono milo north of the city. The water there conducted iato bo used for mill and factory power. More good flouring mills will will find ample em ployment , and the immense quantity of wool grown along the Loup , Repub lican and Platte rivers will sustain Extensive woolgn. mills. Paper mills ire also contemplated. Men of cner- jyand means are interested in the matter. Some Kearney firms are doing a iinall wholesata business , and the city s putting on airs. The street com- uissioner is grading the streets and putting in stone crossings. Tlie stone 5 shipped from Lincoln by Boss Stout. When the canal is completed water works are expected. F. W.

Six- een miles west of this city , on the state-line division of the Pan-Handle ailroad , ' is _ situated the village of xjaville. Near this place is located a emotery , and in this silent 1 ity of the dead a discovery lias just ieen made which can indeed be P. haracterized as strange and sensa- ' ional. A.few days ago a man'named Jainuol WH.on desired to remove the emains of his wife , who had lied six. years ago , and hose of liis father , whose leatli took pLice thirteen ears since. Accordingly , he procured telp , and tlie work of excavating bc- an. The grave in which the father's emains lay was first opened , when it ras found that nothing but the bare keleton remained. Then the wife's rave which was less than two feet jstant was excavated. Upon reach-1 ing the bottom the startling discovery was made that the body was petrified The .arms and limbs , .however , had withstood the effect of whatever cle ment in the earth had caused the pet- rification to occur , and nothing re mained of them but bones. Tlie trunk of the body was as hard as flixt , and upon being taken from the grave was found to weigh about 300 pounds , while the woman during her life weighed about 140 pounds. The case has caused a good , deal of interest to bo manifested in the matter , /and , al though the wise men "f the" neighbor hood have put their hewls together in counsel , they can study out no satis factory reason why the woman's body should thus be turned to stone and the other remains , located so near , should be in no way affected by the petrifying influence. Another strange feature of the case it the fact of the arms and limbs turning to dust while the remainder of the body hardened into stone. Tlie woman whoso remains are thus attracting so much attention was once a resident of Harrison Township , this county , and it was there she and Mr. Wilson were married. She was a daughter of John Small , a respected old fanner , and herself and husband took up their residence near Idavillo about the year 1807- This case of petrification is the only one ever known in this section of Indiana , and , asa natural consequence , a large number of people liavo taken the pains to see the strange sight. Mr. " Wesley Sisson , a widely'known lawyer of Chicago , 111. , was cured of a most serious attack of Inflammatory Rhuem.it5smcoinplic.ited with Sciatica , bytho useotSt. Jacobs OiHe \ flat teringly praises it.
