DISPATCHES from Washington iissert that President Arthur luia urgently requested Secrotaiy Kirk wood to re tain the portfolio of the interior do- partmont. No moro honest and eiH- ciont secretary of the interior has ovoi held oftico in Washington than plain Ham Kirkwond , o ! whoso sterling in tegrity and hard common aonao lowi1 and the west are equally proud. I'KTITIONH against unjust dUcrimin atiim in railway rates and to fDibit extortion in freight and trjnuporta tiou charges were introduced in tin senate on the first day of the suasion They were temporarily laid on the ta ble. It is safe to predict that over ; western senator that refusin to hee < those petitions will be tabled whet hifi term expires.

It is ututud ua a fac that recently a western railroad cat > came up , in which Justice AlutUum had been retained previous to hi going on the bench. In order to si cure a quorum and to permit u di cUion of the court , Justice Hunt w actually carried up to tli conference room and the chii justice announced the decision of tl court as not having boon participate in by Mr. Justice Matthews but coi currod in by Mr. Justice Hunt , tin retaining > < quorum. The fact tin Justice J unt had not "heard any i the arguments had not appeared i court and was not on the bench win the opinion wua delivered created great deal of comment among nui ben of the bur and has raised tl question whether an imbecile judg ainiply < .ling to the conference rooi can fiivi. . .n opinion. Such a state * nlfairu us now exists on the suureu bench calls 'loudly for immedia remedy. OUR VVA'IKU WOK1CS , The Usta Hindu by thu wn'er coinpnny do nut coinu up to thu standard required by its contract with the cily of Omaha. This fact is by no means to bo construed inlo n proof that the Omaha water works nrc n failure. For all the practical pur poses of domestic iiso , manufactoiies and ordinary fire protection , the water works are in every respect satisfac tory. Tlio wnter is clarified , pure and wholesome , and the How for domestic and manufacturing purposes ni abund ant as anybody would desire. Since the works were put in operation their efficiency has been tested in half a dcixoii ordinary fires with miilorm tmtfafnction and success- And while the feats under extraordi nary fire pressure hnvo not c.imo up to the standard of excellence required by the contract , wo have no Icar that any fire could nmko diHaitroiis head way against the streams of water that can bo thrown from our fire liydr.uits in thu present condition of the works , It would be very far from the truth , however , to claim oorfection for the works at this time. There ia atill much to bo done by the company before the works can bo accepted ns completed by the city aiithoritiea. It is the niunifust duty of the council to exact compliance with every reasona ble provision of the water works con tract. The settling basins nnd storage rcaeryoirs should bo subjected to pro per tests us well us the hydrants and pipes. It is hardly to bo expected that these can bo successfully made before the frost is out of the ground next spring , and the water pipes have ample time to settle. For our part wo should prefer to rely upon roaor- voir pressure for all practical uaes. When our water supply is entirely distributed through Ilia storage reser voirs , wo can pluco greater reliance ; upon the stability of our water works system. iiuiHiimcli UK the company are now supplying all who desire to avail tlieinnelves of the water works , nnd fiirnisliii.t ) > reosoimblo IIru protection through their hydrants , there can bo no valid teason for lefusing to accommodate - commodato the company with nn extension - tension of time fortho final acceptance of their works. Tina ia all the com pany can reasonably nsk for , nnd wo do dot believe any citizen or tax payer - or will interpose objections. THE ALLIANCE CALL- In another column of TUB JKK will bo found the call for n special meeting of the I pbniskii State Far mers' alliance , to bo held at Hastings , on Wednesday , January 'Jiith , 1882 , to take into considerations such meas ures us may seem best fitted to per fect ita oigani/.ation throughout the slate , increase its usefulness to u large class of our citizens , and to prepare the producers of , Nebraska tor the political campaign of the coining year. In issuing the call the executive officers of the alliance have not only requested the attendance of repre sentatives of each local alliance but thuy also extend a cordial invitation to nil active members of the alliance that can afford to leave tliorr farms to encournge the CIIUBO by their presence and adU moral weight to the dolibdra- tions of the convention. The call l.aa been issued in response to urgent appeals from n largo number of farmers ivho were unable to attend the regular annual meeting of the alli ance because it is held at u time when most fin mcBS are engaged in the work of harvngting. At auch a time it ia voiy difficult to obtain u general ex pression of the opinion of the farmer voters upon questions which so vitally affect their intcats. At the January acesion there is no reason why there should not bo a full representation ol the precinct alliances and nn attend ance of farmers which will show tc : the monopolies that the farmers can ami will take an inlcrost in politics and ii determined to seek redress for hie grievances by the proper exercise ol his righta as a citi/.un. Lot it bo perfectly foctly understood that the special meeting of the Alliance is to moro ef fectively prepare it for the eomiiiL contlict of next fall when the numopo lies will once more urrny themsulvei auuinst the producers if this state To succeed in the battle there IIUIH be no clashing of personal ambitions no division of opinion na to men IVIK measures.

The action of this convcntio will decide the political future of Ni braska. Upon its action depends , I a great degree , the growth and proi perity of this state.

It must nn- nver them by sumething moro than mote resolutions. As wo undnntnrnl it , tlio coming meeting cftltu Alli ance is not called to create a now party , but to nay to the old parties , in tones which cannot bo mistaken , that corporate mouopolici shall not rule Nobriika. If the old pirtics nro the tuera. tools and machines to resistor the decrcss of the monopolies , they are doomed. Thu Farmers' Alliance has n mission to perform , nnd it purposes to uiu every available and legitimate means to tecuro the object for which it was organized. GEN KILPATRICK. A telegram from Washington an nounces the death of General Hugh Judson Kilpntrick , minister to Chili from the United States , and more widely known an it dashing nnd skill- fnl cavairy officer durinir the Into civil war. Ho was born near Deckertown , Now Jersey , in the ycnr 1830 , and was appointed to the military academy at West Point in 1857 , graduating just after the outbreak of the rebel lion and receiving his assignment to duty na n second lieutenant of the First U. S. artillery on the Gth of May the snmo ycnr. Eight days later ho was promoted to a first lieuten ancy , attached to the army of the Potomac , commissioned a captain in the Now York volunteers , nnd at once entered upon active service. Ho was wounded in the bat tle of Big Jielhel in Juno 10 , while leading a charge and on his recovery was commissioned lieutenant colonel of the 2nd Now York cavalry of which regiment he became colonel in Decem ber , 18C5J. It was during the Kappa- hnnock campaign that Colonel Kilpat- rick won his spurs ns a brilliant and dashing cavalry ollicer. Ho partici pated in ever battle of the campaign in the second battle of Bull Run and did excellent service through the scr ies of actions in Maryland. During "Stoneman's raid" totlio rear of Gen eral Lco'o army ho commanded u brigade - ado of cavalry winning golden - on comments from his su perior olllcora nnd receiving the commission as brigadier general of volunteers on Juno 13 , 1803. Gen eral Kilpatrick took nn nctivo part in the battle of Gettysburg , whcro ho commanded a brigade end : v division. In the succeeding battles in Virginia ho earned the reputation of being ono of the bravebt nnd most effective cav alry officers in the service , and his raids into the enemy's country were larked by a reckless daring and a rilliancy of execution which added iroatly to his laurels. Ordered west 1804 , ho joined General Sher man's command , and at the bate - o of Uosacawas severely 'oundod , recovering in time to take mrt in the famous "March o the sea and the subsequent cam- iaign in the Carohnas. In Juno , 805 , ho was promoted to bo major- ; cncral of volunteers and brevet lajor-gcneral in the regular army. He resigned his commission in Dccein- or , 1805 , having the month previous- r boon appointed U. S. minister to 'liili ' by President Johnson. General Kilpatrick was recalled in November , 1808 , nnd immediately intorcd into active political work. Ho fas an ardent opponent of General Grant's second candidacy , espousing ho Greeloy cause and stumping the wintry , for the liberal republics ns. lo was reappointed minister to Chili by President Hayes , which office he leld at the time of his death. Senator Jones of Nevada is down on .ho civil-servic reformers , says they an 'men of no genius , force or popular ! ' y , " who do not attend caucuses 01 'mingle with the bottom stratum , ' nit want to get into public life ' 'through the upper story windows. ' Well , the civil-service reformers nn down on Jones. They recognize thai ho has genius , force , nnd popularity enough , and ho mingles with "tin bottom stratum" sufficiently , liu lobody cares anything about his opin ons or about him , except so far as hi n a friend of the President and ro luctw his views. A man whoso bus ! iea in the U. 8. Senate is merely ti inuke n market for the silver which hi mines ia not n statesman whoau opin iona honest people are bound to ru spect. liujj'ulo fa-piess. If John P. Jones had never owned ; silver miiio or known Chester A Arthur ho would still bo entitled t1 the very enviable position which h now holds and has always maintainei since his entrance ) into publi life in the United States Sun ate. No representative of th west ia more thoroughly respected b ita people than Senator Jones. Ho i a monied man with moro braina tha money. His wealth in dollars an cents is a tritlo compared to his moi tnl possessions. For over thirty ycai a resident of the Pacifia coast ho hi always been the poor of her publi mon and his enterprise and spirit hu\ shown themselves in every movi mont having fonts object tliodevolo ] meat of her resources or the advancement mont of her prosperity. The chnr | that nobody cures for Senator Jonc public opinion ia based on the shorn Ignorance of the history of the sonat In the financial controversies of tl last ten yearn no voice has boon Ii toned to with moro marked attontic than that of John P. Jones.

Every public man in "Wflnhlnttoii { who has been brought into conaclwith Senator Jonc.4 will repudiate Miu statement of the h'sjircfs that his business in the United States snnate ia merely to make a market for the silver which ho mitie.i. On every question of national importance Senator Jones has had a decided opinion and has never feared to express it. It ia a tcstimon to his sterling common sense that in a largo majority of instances his views have mot not only thu endorsement or his parly majority but the approval of the nation. With his views lipon the civil ser vice. TTO have nothing to do. It is a well known fact that durit.g the entire Hayes administration the sonatornovor asked for office on behalf of his friends. Ho has consistently lefused to make himself an office broker for hungry politicians and to throw upon the government the support of friends who have been unable to takecaro of them- aolvcs. This ia a record of which few senators can boast. PIIKHIIIKNT Annum haa a fair chance to give a practical proof of his civil service policy in the contuti over the Council Blufla poatoflico. Having reappointed - appointed Mrs. liaklwiii for a second term ho is naw naked to revoke thn appointment because. Congressman Hepburn desires to assist United States Marshal Chapman in his scheme to corral all the federal offices in the dis trict for a coterie of political hucksters.

MAVOII BOYD will receive the cor dial support of every law-abiding citi zen of Omaha , in his determination to enforce the license law at any cost nd at all hazards. NK < T to mining the cattle interest of Colorado is by all odds the most important. A meeting of cattle grower a repreaenting ono of the six teen round up districts of Colorado was held in Denver Monday evening to devise measure a for mutual protec tion against the theft of unbranded cattle. The magnitude of thp Colorado - rado interest is made manifest by the fact that the cattle kings in the single district represented in the gathering own 150,000 head of stock valued at 2,500,000. Among the resolutions passed at this meeting the following are of interest to parties west of the Missouri this side of Colorado : WHKHEAS , It has come to the knowledge of the principal cattle - tlo owners of the Hearer and Republican country that largo numbers of cattle are slaughtered up on the prairie and hauldd to the line of the Burlington and Missouri railroad , and there sold to the contractors ; and. AViiKHKAH , There are at Una time of the year ninny unscrupulous parsons in this section hunting , who are not owners of stock , and are supposed to be engaged in hauling meat to the line of the railway ; and , WHKUEAS , The law requiring per- aona slaughtering cattle to hold hides for thirty duya for inspection is violated lated ; therefore , bo it llesolved , That wo as cattle-owners of the principal cattle range of Colorado rado , comprising the Platte , Beaver and Republican country , do respect fully request the Burlington & Mis souri railway contractors not to pur chase any cattle from any party or parties unless delivered to him on foot or with the hides accompanying thorn. Resolved. , That the hides bo hold according to low , or until the same are inspected by the Colorado state cattle inspector , furnished for that purpose. IOWA BOILED DOWN.
