DKNVKII patronircs every show thai comes along , good , bad and indillerent- The profits of the first five months oi of the Tabor opera house amounted to $0,000 , a handsome return on the governor's investment. It is to be hoped that Mayor TJoyd'aonturo may provo no lens successful. IT is unfortunate that great epi demica make most progress among the poorer classes. Omaha has a number of flinty hearted old fossils opposed to every public improvement which doesn't put money in their pockets and who have never yet boon hit uven by chicken pox. Mu. VALKJ.TINB'H clerk , who in that capacity is relieving the Omaha Hu- publican from the necessity of paying him a nalury as its Washington cor respondent , has written from the cap ital his employers explanation of the attempted "back pay steal. " Ac cording to Nye , Val and Majors never had any idea of blooding the national treasury for contingent expenses and if it hadn't ' been a case of Pinafore the provoking impression wouldnn\or have gone abroad that Tom Majors wanted pay for past sorvicoa which ho never rendered in Congress. "In regard to the matter. " saya Nye , "It may bo oaid that it was never the intention of either Valentino tine or Majors that the latter should receive pay for more than the sension in which ho will bo a member if the bill for admission is passed. In in troducing the bill , Valentino took a copy of the one which ho had intro duced at the last session and marked in it the necessary correction. In the hurry of his work he did not notice that there wore two bills in his hand instead of one , nor was it understood by him that he had delivered to the clerk the wrong and uncorrected bill until Bomo time afterward. This is a very thin explanation of a very shrewd attempt to pick the lock of the treasury. Val "mixed those babies up" and thought that "not u .mortal Know it. " When ho found that his constituents road the press reports from Washington , and that BOUIO of the Nebraska papers com mented upon what they road , ho hastened to denounce the lumurtion that liis bill was u "hack pay grab" as "aiiiuifamous slander and an outrage ous Ho. " After this lie may have changed and corrected IIIH bill , but of this the record makes no mention. Tlio only authority that this him been done is the unsupported assertion of his committee clerk , who was formerly one of the .editors of The Omaha Re publican , JLacl now after The Re publican lias iicen denouncing as a Blander TUB Bus's charge against Val- entine' * little "back pay grab" its cor respondent bobs up toprovo the truth of our comment that no other contraction - traction could bo placed upon the bill introduced by him lu the house of representative * on the IGUi of lout Pecembor. "MOONSHINE. " The 0. It. Nonpareil docs not see its way clear to joining Omaha in building a wagon bridge aero is the Missouri. That wai what the Herald was not able to sco several dajs ago , when it showed that the whole thing was imiaclicablo ] on any plan that itoiiltl bo possible to invent. Men do not build wngon bridges un less they will pay a fair return on the money invested in building them The Missouri h a navigable river. A wagon bridge high enough to allow bo.itn to run under it , whether it liu a suspension bridge , or i bridge built on piots , would bankiupt any local company that should undertake to it , and n low bridge with a draw- would bo impossible without .in ex penditure that would insure the tunic ; result Without any pretensions to fltmcial knowledge on the subject , wo filumld say that a wagon bridge across the river that is not connected with a railroad bndgo will bo constructed , if constructed at all , mainly of a very thin article of moonshine. - Omaha Herald. The editor of the Herald is a vie tim of the moonshine which filters through the Union Pacific hc.idqii.ir ters and his silent pirtnerihip in the Union Pacific transfrr. This h the reason why Dr. Miller is not able to see how a wagon bridge can he con st rnctod between Omaha and Council Bluffs. It is a matter of fact that the original charter for a bridge across the Mmouri , contemplated a bndgo for wagons with a draw and this plan was originally recommended by Gen. 0. M. Dodge. The private intoruats of the railroad managers in the Dil- lonvillo transfer grounds alone pre vented ita construction and Omaha and Council Itluffs ha\o been the suf ferers in consequence to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. year.The The people of the two cities have been patient long enough under the extortions of the giant monopoly and have doteimined to take measures to obtain relief from the embargo on trade and intercourse which the Union Pacific has placed upon them. They are agitating n wngon biidge be cause they are convinced it will pay and pay handsomely , not only in dollars lars and cents bul in assisting the growth and development both of Council ] ) lufl4 and Omaha. The as sertion that a low bridge over the Missouri is ilnpr.icticiblo ia the idicor- est moonshine The river ia already bridged in three places on this plan with most satisfactory results. So far an the expenditure of mo ley noc- easary to build a substantial wagon bridge ia concerned wo believe that the amount will bo readily forthcom ing. The trafliu between Omaha and Council UlufTa would at once return handsome dividends on such an in vestment. A number of our mer- ehanta whoso annual tolls to the Union Pacific run up into the thou sands of dollars could take stock in such an enterprise with the assurance of making money from their interest. Local trallic between the two towns , aside from that of our merchants , would bo greatly .stimulated to the benefit of both citiea and the profit of the bridge company. No amount of arguments , however , will convince the brasa collared edi tors on both sides of the river , who draw their pay from Jay Goultt'a leadquarteis , and whoso private in- tcreuta in addition would be affected : > y any decrease in the amount of Freight handled at the transfer. A wagon bridge aciosa the Missouri at Ins point would badly cut into the extortionate freight tarifla charged by ; lie Union Pacific bridge monopoly and it < a only natural that the dogs should bark when their master is at- aeked. Since the HUH llowur editor of The Herald scorns to be so inter ested in "moonshine , " we will inform lim of an article of the kind which vill not go down with the people of Dmalia and Council BIuHs , and that s the "moonshine" which attemptu to cast a reflection of disinterestedness ever a policy whoso only object ia to ncrease the weight of the pocket uiok of the editor who advocatea it. Mil. Conn , of Indiana , is doter- ninod to probe to the bottom the nuttor of forfeited railroad lan'd ; rantfl , and has introduced a bill into congrotis making it the duty of the secretary of the interior to declare orfeitod the grants of all roads which lave not compiled with the terms of the contract upon which their lamia wore granted. This measure is grounded on law and equity. If the railroads have failed to carry out the conditions under which they wore endowed with princely aub hlioa they mvo plainly forfeited their rights to hose grants , There is not the leant doubt that the Union and Central L'auific railroads ought to come under lie provisions of Mr , Cobbs1 measure. The charter of these companies con tained a proviso that all thu granted anda remaining unsold by the cor- mrutioim ufter the completion of the roadu should ro\ert to the United states and become n part of the public domain , subject to pre-emption at 2.50 an ucro. This clause in the charter was inserted to enforce the disposal and cultivation of the lands as soon as poiaiblo , wid in order that : ho corporations might not be en couraged in the monopoly of the land of this country for epeculutivo purposes. In the absence of this pro viuiou tnu charter would never lave been granted. After do. aying the acceptance of the roads for four years beyond their completiontho , Union Pacific and Central Pacific immediately began to doviao a scheme for retaining the lands which according to the law would in three yearn revert to the United State/i. / With this object irt view the Central Pacific railway directors or- gamruil n land btirciu composed of themselves and aold to it in bulk all that remained of their land grant. The Burlington i Missouri in Ne braska followed the simo course. The Ciiioti Pacific which trusted more in the power of money and political in- llnonco determined to content on the ground tint thojmortg.iges on their lands were sulficient disposal of the grant to comply with the terms of the law. With a bogus prosecutor and harmonious ntlornojo a test case was cirried up to the supreme court of the United States and decided in favor of the company and there has since been no reversal of that decision because there has since been no further at tempts to contest tno company's title to the land. If Mr. Cobba inquiry serves f o reopen the question there is a chnnco that the nation at large may be placed in a position to understand how it has been swindled byaset of unprincipled and extortionate sharpen , and an equal chance that millions of acrua of fertile lands now held for speculative purposes will be thrown upon the open market for the common benefit. If the issue were once presented fairly before the .supremo court , whether a transfer made to avoid the fulfilment of a contract was not in it self a fraudulent sale wo have little doubt of the result. Such a decision would affect grants covering an area greater than that of the states of Ohio , Illinois and Iowa. THE FUNDING BILL. Senator Slieiman professes himself as satisfied that the funding bill which passed the senate last week will se cure the approval of the house and become a law. Tlio bill as finally passed diflurtt considerably from the ono introduced by Mr. Sherman but embodies its moat essential pointa. That it passed at all may be consider ed a decided viutoiy for its author. It has been assailed from lirat to last with the most inconsistent arguments and threatened at every atagp. , vrith highly obnoxious amendments. In meeting the one and opposing the other Mr. Sherman has been coin- pulled to fight almost single handed , aided only in the liter stngeti of the deb ilo by Messrs. Hawley and Ed munds. Five principal amendments were made to the funding bill as originally introduced. The first made by the finance commitlc-o leduced the amount of the bonds fuun three to two hun dred niill'ona. The second amend ment struck out the clause making the bonda payable after five years and substitutes payment at the pleasure of the government , while the third amendment practically lestores the time clause by providing that the now bonda shall not bo called till all the outstanding bonds redeemable at the pleasure of the government and bear ing a higher rate of interest than three per cent are redeemed. An there are ? : ijO,000,000 : of the three and a half per cents this provision makes it cer tain that none of the now bonds will be paid till those are out of the way , which will be certainly three years hence and probably for six or more. Some permanence ia thus given to the bonds as an investment which will assist greatly in placing them on the market. The only other amendment of im portance aside from the proviso de claring Mr. Windom's extended three and a half per cents valid , is the ono propound by Senator IJawloy. This compels all national banks wishing to letiro their circulation by a deposit of an equal amount of lawful money in the United States treasury to give thirty dnyn notice and tu limit such withdrawal to $ 5,000,000 in a single month. This will prevent national banks from speculating in tlieir bonda and will stand in the way of caprici ous and sudden contractions of the bank note currency. The consideration of the bill in the house will doubtless nilortl now mem- bora chance \ to ventilate their views on the currency. It ia to be hoped that having done this they will bo sat isfied to lot the bill remain in its pres ent form. WAHHIMITON senatorial gossips are anticipating a sensational scene on the night of the 27th of February , when Mr. Itlaino will deliver his eulogy on President Garfiold. One of Mr. Hliiino's friends , referring to the com ing occasion , says ; " .lust see what u spectacle it will be. There ia Arthur and his suite , lllaino and his following , the demo crats anxious to see how the republi can quarrel will turn , thu politicians of all sorts on the alert , and practi cally an audience of fifty million people following every word. There will be , I take it , a good deal more of lilaine in that meeting than of Gar- field. Exactly w hat the orator of the occasion w ill a y cannot bo prophesied , but his words will bo chosen. His position ia ono of extreme delicacy , and the effects of his speech vill extend - tend as far into thu future us the year 1884. Mr. Dlainu will probably not confine himself to a 'fulsome eulogy of the amUblo jmyuto lifo of the dead preaidontr Hewill 'describe , as he has a right to describe the pub lic lifo of his friend during those last months of his life when ho was shaping that policy by which ho wish ed to commend himself to the Amen can people. It is notorious that in those designs and aspirations no one was closer to the president than the secretary of state , nor is any one bet ter qualified to declare to the Ameri can pcoplo what would have been the policy of their lamented president. To describe the past and punt the fu ture of the Garfield administration is ono branch of bin subject which the orator of the occasion can scirccly avoid , and in tlio circumstances and surroundings of that night such an address wilT of necessity bo more than a mere tribute of iill'ection to the dead. " TIIK blows aimed at the conference of American nationalities proponed in the circular of Mr. Illaine do not hit the ox-secretary at all. The idea originated with Gcncr.il Garfield and wax carried out in accordance- with his intentions by Mr. Blame under thu executive sanction of President Ar thur. The Btidden reversal of Mr. Truqcott'fi instructions will do more damage to the prestige of the United States abroad than the failure of the convention itself if it had assembled , as was at firat contemplated. CURRENT COMMENT. The Qroat American Confederation. New York Kvcnln Tost. It ia very much to l > o regretted that the questions of foreign policy re cently brought to the foreground by Mr. Blame's diplomatic ventures should at once have become subjects of personal controversy connected with the "opening of tlio next presi dential campaign , " instead of being considered upon their merits. They Can't. St. Louis Ilcpubllean. If the American people can peace fully contemplate the payment of thirteen hunored millions of dollars in a quarter of a century , with a full knowledge of the fact that not more than six hundred millions will go to those who really deserve the money , wo are very much mistaken.
