Commander Lynch of the Chilian forces , discovered a con spiracy to rob the victors of the spoils , and forthwith decapitated the presi dential pretender , Garcio Caldoron Millions of dollars of counterfoil bonds , engraved and printed in th United States , Hooded the country and all members of the ring won about to accuro a hupo harvest of ill gotten gains when Lynch law wa : - 'proclaimed.

The issue in Kansas , as in NebrasKa brasKa , will bo between the railroadi and the people , and the outlook is that next year the people will have i voice in the selection of their scna * tors. Senator Plumb , whose torn expiresin 1883 , is of course a candi- 'tdate 't for re-election. Ho is n man o ] 'very small calibre , but of very big purse. Ho will have the backing ol v the Kansas railroads , and Jay Goult behind him , but such backing docs not always insure success. It failot . in Nebraska last winter , and it almost failed in Kansas nt the same time. ( , Senator Ingalls , the railroad candi date , was beaten in the republican caucus" and only re-olcctod by a ma , jority of ono vote. Windom'o sue- cess in , Minnesota , in spite of com- "Binned railroad opposition , also shows the way the wind blows this yoar. IT is stated on good authority that $1,800,000 iu unclaimed money or ders have accumulated during the post seventeen years , and are now , on deposit at the Now York sub-treasu ry. Those losses of remittances occur iu various ways. Sometimes the pur- eon sending the remittance does not notify the person to whom the money is'sent ; sometimes the sender d > ) os not inclose the order ; again , perhaps , thu sender cannot himself bo found when the government attempts to roach him for the correction of- error or the re turn of the money. From ono or the other of thcso causes § 100,000 is annu ally paid into Iho postoflico which " fails , of delivery. This' apparently largo sum scorns small when the t6tal value of remittances by money order is considered. These amount to 1100,000,000 annually , making the loss to the public leas than ono dollar in $1,000 , or ono mill on a dollar. TYNER AND HATTON , General Tynor is Irying to unloa his star aouto troubles on Old Grann Key. The Irulh ia Tynor was dt facto postmaslcr-gonor.il for four ycai while Iho robberies were going or bad bo been disposed to put a stop t thcso swindling operations bo coul bavo tlotio so nt any time. Tyncr claims to bavo made a wril ten report about IJrady's crookc transactions months bcforo tlio Bin route investigation wan begun , but h says bis rojyrt was pigeon holed b Key. If this was really true it doc not exculpate Gen. Tynor forfailing t place this information into the baud of Mr. iTamcs whim bo came hit oilico and bo should not bo allowed t [ ilcad tlio baby act as an excuse fo lis failing to give vigorous support t < lamca in his prosecutions o .lio star route thieves. Thi s the common oonso view wlucl [ 'resident Arthur should take of tin case , and if ho carnstly desires tin reforms inaugurated by Mr. James hi will bo compelled to let Mr. Tynei jo. jo.It It is to bo hoped , however , that jcnoral Tynor's succcosor will bo n n in whoso ability and experience in mblic lifo will insure elllcion'cy and loncsty in the administration of the lostoflico department. A man who in ui emergency can take the place of ho postmaster general himself. If 'resident Arthur has any dcsiro to upplant Mr. Tynor by such n man ho irill have to drop Frank Ilntton who laitns to liavo the inside track. Mr. Hatton might possibly fill a osition as the Hocrctary or ciiiof clerk f General Tynor , but ho in utterly ncompotont and unfit for an oxccu- ivo ofDco , besides being unreliable nd venal. His editorial ability is aatly overrated. The Burlington faiekeyc , of which ho is nominally no editor , inado its reputation irough liurdotto mid since the nd- ent of Hatton it is steadily on the own road. Hatton himself'has writ- on very little for it and his local in- uenco was demonstrated two wcoks iqo when his county always ropub- icau wont democratic mainly for the rant of faith in Hatton's leadership. The only influence behind Ilutton s the railway corporation that owns ho Jfawkcije , and his business at iVasliington during congressional sea- > ion has boon cluetly as the lobbyist of hat corporation , By persistent olllce bogging ho was nado poatmastor of , Burlington a year , go , but while ho draws pay as post- nastor with great regularity , ho knows to more about the active postal sur- ice at Burlington than ho does about ho active aorvico of the postmaster of tfow York. If Hatton had to depend upon his lorsonal exertions and ability ns a ournalist , ho would still be editing a econd rate weekly in Mt. Plena int. 'laced in General Tynor's shoes , he 'ould provo an unmitigated failure. THE OPERA. HOUSE- Every citizen of Omaha ia interest- i in the opening of Boydjs | opera ouso which takes place this o veiling , 'or ' the firat time in her history aa a ity Omaha can boast of a motropoli- m theater , in which her people may jok amusement with comfort and rfoty , and which , in convenience' , ole- anco and appointments , takes its lace among the beat of the country. First , and most important of all , lie now opera house is safe. Its sub- tantial construction by which the 'eight of iv crowded auditorum is ranaforrod from the uido walls of the uilding to the broad foundation wall hich underlie every part of th ructuro affords a certain guaranty ; ainat ncoident. The oxita provided o ample und judiciously distribute id. i that the whole house can b nptiod in three minutes withou ar of panic , Broad doors opening itward and leading to atil oudor staircases , aoparato oxita r stage , orchestra and galloty id gonoroua hose and iiro plug ar- ngomonta throughout every depart- out and floor will aflbrd a sense of eurity without which no pcrfor- anco can bo satisfactorily enjoyed by largo audience , In ita exterior and torior awpointmonta our opera house for Omaha claims a aharo in tg * oporty will l > oar comparison with > y in the country. Other theatres ay display a moro lavishoxpondituro wealth on floors and coiling , but wo nturo the assertion that in i place of amusement in o country ia the con nienco and comfort of the dionco bettor provided for , There ro taste which is everywhere mani- ted in the seating arrangement * , jscoint } and upholatoring the genial irmth of decoration without , the eddy display BO common in atruo- ros of this kind have boon fully d before our rcadora in the detailed scription published in our local col- ins. Boyd't opbra house is a place amusement of which our city may illbo proud Omaha is to bo congratu- od on the possession of such a ilding and still more upon the on- rprisoand publicsplrit of the citizen 10'erected it. With thq opening of the now opera use our city may expect a bettor SB of entertainments than those ich have visited them durinp the t few years , Omaha ia u theatre- going and music-loving community Tts reputation in these respect * in wo known in managerial circles , and no that her now and elegant opera bout offers increased inducements for firs class theatrical combinations , our cit /.ens will , without doubt , bo nflbrdc the opportunity to witness the bcs Midway between Now York and Sa Jb'raiuisco , on the great overland roul across which the most cJistinguishe actors nro periodically traveliiif Omaha will now bo soughtas urestin place on a long journey where a mo1 ropolitan theatre and an npprcciativ audience will unite to make the pr < duction of the best dramas by the boi actora both pleasing and profitable. Till' reports circulated some iim ago that Capt. Etuis' jetties at th mouth of the Mississippi were a fail tire and its channel was shoaling crt ated surprise and alarm in the west and the merchants' exchange of St Louis appointed a committee to investigate vestigato the case and report on th truth of the rumors. The committee composed of leading business men IIHVU made a thorough investigation nnd report that the channel of twenty six feet in depth and 200 feet wide hn been and still is fully maintained ; tha it ia permanent , and broad and dec ] enough for thu largest mer : hant vessels afloat. It vur ; jmphatically denies the report ) f shoaling , and intimates that thci ; mblication was secured to the grea' ' lotnmont of the interest of Musis lippi valley commerce. This full and satisfactory ropori vill bo received with gratificatioi throughout the west. The value iddcd to the productions of the groal > asin of the Mississippi by the open ng of the mouth of the river'cannot > o over-estimated. Every year aincc ho time when Capt. Eada announced lie completion of his work , and large jcouii vessels entered the Mississippi brough the South Pass , the graii : ihipments by way of Now Orleans ami ; ho gulf liavo shown a rapid and itcady increase. The success of tlu indcrtaking has stimulated discussion > f the great question of river improve- tiotit throughout the west until it has jccomo a prominent topic of consider- ition in every leading journal in this cction of country. Eastern port's of miry liavo foil the influence of the Ivor route : w the current of trans- tortatioii , which wo were informed na- uro had set in a duo easterly and resterly course , has changed ita di- cction and eont ofTa strong tidosouth owsards the sea. With Minnesota hipping her wheat direct to Glaa- ; ow by way of Now Orleans , nd lines of barges from southern II- inoia , Missouri and lowu adding heir quota of traflic to the rivet outo , oven the railways have felt otnpolled to face a problem which in ho near future threatonca to assume iroportions which may seriously af- ect their dividend paying power , t was doubtless on this account that hat the success of the jottica caused ho malicious reports concerning their ondition to be circulated in eastern apora , with a view of diverting from lie river route a traflio which was bo- ianing to injure ita rivnla by rail. The Herald again desires to remark ! mt ita circulation equals the com- iuod circulation of any two of its ontcmporaricB between the Missouri ivor and the Rocky mountains. Itiia/ia / Herald. For sublime cheek and shameless npudenco the lltrzld beats all the owspapora between Maine and Mox- so. No other paper in America 'ould dare to resort to such barefaced iisropresoitation about its circula- ! on as a moans of procuring patron- cjo. Only u few months ago , when 10 city council asked for advertising ids , the Herald was ottered an op- ortunity to compare circulations ; but did not submit a bid. Aa a matter : fact , TUB BEE circulatea GOO dailies , while the Herald circu- tos loss than 1,800 , and Tun BEK rculatos over 12,000 weeklies while 10 Herald circulates loss than one lousand. In Omaha THK BKU doors - , -ors and soils four papers where the cratd circulates one. And yet the 'erald has the effrontery to boast at its circulation equals the ton.- ned circulations of any two piipors itwoon the Missouri and the Rockies. Wo venture to assort furthermore at the Herald docs not possess the cilitios to print' the editions of the ily and weekly BEK with ita present inting presses. Among Omaha inters , whore it is known that THK SB printed on ono of Hoes latest iprovod double cylinders nearly ex- , usta the full capacity of that press , oj protunse that the Htrald with mblo the circulation of any paper ! st of the Missouri can get along th a Potter drum cylinder will jin decidedly preposterous. Hut the Herald's frequent boasts out its circulation are not intended : local effect , where our merchants ow the relative merits of ourdnilies , t for the foreign advertisers , who i readily bo gulled into a belief that i Herald ia the most widely circu. od paper in the west It the T W hail simply boon content with lining a largo circulation , wo should \ro \ passed its oifort to procure mey under falao pretenses with moo , but when it seeks to suouro patronage by misrepresenting otlic publications that have four or fiv times its circulation , wo feel bound t expose its mendacity. NEBK/VijK/VS CEREALS. The census oflico boa issued its bu letin on the cereal production of th United States , as returned at the cer aua of 1880 , nnd in n pamphlet i thirty-five . pngea of .closely priute tables , make an exhibit of the yicl of wheat , rye , corn , oata and buck wheat in ovnry county in the countrj The report is especially intciestin for purposes of comparison an contains some figures of whic Nebraska need not bo ashamed Among the thirty-eight states an eight territories from which the ceren productions are reported , Nebrask stands fifth in the amount of her bar ley crop , seventh in corn , eighth ii rye and eleventh in oats. The tota production of all cereals in Nebraska as reported in the census bulletin amounted to 80,010,913 bushels , di vided aa follows : Corn , acreagi lGtO(5GO : ( , G5.150iari , bushels ; wheat acreage 1-109,805 , 13,847-,007 bushels oats , acreage U50-157 , < iC55,87(5 ( bush- olaj barley , acreage 115,201 , 1,744,68(5 ( bushels ; rye , 34,207 acroa , 424,318 bushels ; buckwheat 1,000 acres and 17,502 bushels. In the production of corn the states of Illinois , Iowa , Missouri , Indiana , Ohio and Kentucky have precedence over our own state in the order named. The barley producing elates which report a greater crop than our own are California , Now York , Wis consin and Indiana. Rye is produced in larger quantities than in Nebraska in the following states : Pennsylvania , Illinois , Wisconsin , Now York , Iowa , Kentucky and Missouri. Illinois leads in wheat , followed by Indiana , Ohio , Michigan , Min nesota , Iowa , Missouri , Wis consin , Pennsylvania 'and Kansas. Among the counties of Nebraska Cass leads in corn , with a production , as given by the census report , of 4,312- 032 bushels raised on 97,001 acres. Lancaster county is placed second , with 92,550 acres and a production of 4,128,8GG bush els , closely followed by Saunders , with 87,501 acres and 4,108,055 bushels. Richardson , Otoo nnd Nomaha counties succeed in the order named. The wheat crop of Clay county , which beaded the wheat producing Bounties of this state , was 892,035 bushels , and the acreage 80,411 acres. York stands next with 77,729 acres uid 789,183 bushels. Gillmore is credited with 75,025 acres in wheat ind 785,809 bushels , and Saunders with 75,070 acres and784,829 bushels. Reports from various western coun ties give a .very light crop of both wheat and corn. The season which lias elapsed since those statistics were gathered has shown in a bright light the capacity of our fron tier counties for both wheat and corn production under ui. usually unfavora ble conditions , and had the figures of this year's acreage boon compiled al though the crop fell far below the ivorago Harney , Buffalo and Sherman : ountios would have very cloarty maintained their claim to bo classed with the eastern portion of the state : eroal producera. MINIKO ia by no means the most irofitablo industry of Colorado. Cat- ; lo raising haa become a moro reliabli lourco of wealth in the centcnnia itato than digging for silver and gold , Vccordiug to the aocretary of the Col > rado cattle growers association , this las boon the beat and most profitable 'oar in the history of Colorado. In spit > f the severe winter there have been uoro beeves raised in Colorado this 'ear than over before ; while prices if beef are much higher and the irofits consequently greater. A close atimuto places the number of cattle aisod in Colorado this year at 135- 100 , valued at not less than 4,000- > 00 , which ia § 1,500,000 more than ny other single years production , 'ho improved facilities for transpor- ition have materially improved the usiness of stock raising in Colorado , nd the outlook for the future has lover boon aa good aa now. What is rue of stock raising in Colorado is lao applicable to Montana , Wyoming nd western Nebraska. THK nomination and assured olec- ion of William Windoin as senator : om Minnesota will be received with leasuro by men of all parties through- ut the country. The record of his Jmirablo management of the finan- .sa will go down to history as ono of 10 most remarkable achievements of ur treasury department.

Windom is known as a man of 'ar judgment , sound und practical Jws and outspoken in his sonti- onts.
