VALENTINE'S ' stalwart Omaha Uo.
publican goes back on the republican
party before it has oven hold its con

bolt their city ticket and unite with
the monopoly democrats in support of
men that will represent the railroad
interest. This is stalwartism with a
vengeance.
THE canal system of Ohio has not
proved a very profitable investment ,
and the legislature has before it a
proposition authorising the abandon
ment of a part or all of them to the
railroads. But the board of public
works has made an elaborate report
against the schedule on the ground
that they hold the railroads in chock
as to freight rates.
ANOTHEII starling discovery has
been made A National Press dis
patch from St. Paul announces that
Dennis Kearney was the instigator of

Hosowator was the man , although it
was known that during the first two
weeks of the trouble ho was some
1,500 miles distant from Omaha.

lated on the marked improvement of

day morning. The publishers have

of ita contompory , it may justly claim
seine credit for paving the way
for metropolitan journalish on both

SUGAR cano production in the Uni
ted States has steadily increased since
the close of the war , In 1870 the
production of sugar reached 170,000
hogsheads , and of molasses nearly
17,000,000 gallons. This is a remarkable -
able increase over the amount reported
ported in 1870 , when 87,000 hogsheads
of sugar and 0,000,000 gallons uf mo
lasses were produced. But the present
yield does not compare so favorably
with that returned by the census ol
1600 , which was 231,000 hogsheads of
eugar and 10,000,000 gallons of mo
lassos. The bulk , both of sugar and
molasses , Is the production of Louisi
ana. In the present census return11
Missouri is credited with nearly
11,000,000 gallons of molasses and
more than 131DOO hogsheads of sugar ,
Its production of the former article
} uu aearly trebled since 1870 , and of
the latter more than doubled ,
MoRAtiziNO monopoly managers
nro curious creatures. Mr. Vnndor-
bilt , whoso immense fortune has boon
secured by watering stocks nnd plun
dering the public , is very indignant
against the men who got up "grain
corners. " Ho thinks it an outrageous
wrong that a few men should have it
in their power to so increase the price
of staple articles as to prevent their
distribution , which proceedings ho
denounces as virtually taking the
bread out of the poor men's mouth.
Mr. Vnndorbilt is correct. His sensi
ble views uponrtho subject arc the ro-
ult of a docroajo in receipts from
grain on the Now York Central rend ,
duo to the Chicago "corners" on that
article. His own ox is gored and this
sudden fit of morality is the result.
But lot Mr. Vanderbilt give us some
remarks upon "corners" in railroad
stocks with which ho is much bettor
acquainted. Lot him denounce as
emphatically that liberal injection of
water into Harlem & Now York Central
tral upon which the commerce
of this country has boon paying divi
( lends for years. Lot him throw a little -
tlo light upon his attorney's ' expenses
for bribing the Now York legislature ,
and furnish a list of the manufnctur
ing enterprises in Central New York
crushed out of existence by the outrageous
goous discriminations which his giant
corporations has practiced since his
father first laid the foundations of his
immonao'fortuncs. Taking broad out
of poor men's mouths is a crime
whether committed by the Armours ,
of Chicago , or the Goulds , Yandorbilts
and Fields of Now York.
A NEW YonK illustrated paper
'which prints pictures of western towns
as premiums for securing subscriptions
to their daily , has published nn Omaha
supplement , in which , with two excop
lions , oyory illustration is stolen
bodily from THK BKE'H last annual
supplement. The Douglas county
court houao and a bank , neither of
which are above ground , nro the ex
ceptions noted. Accompanying the
illustrations is n description of Omaha
which must bo very flattering to the
local pride of our citizens. Omaha is
described as "tumblo'd upon the hills
and bluffs and clingipg in all
sorts of shapes to the hillside , "
while the reader is told that if ho
drops upon the city during the annual
spring thawa or during one of the oc
casional "break-ups" thai occur at
regular intervalsyou ' [ will conclude
that Omaha mud has no bottom and
unite with the merchants of the oity
in curses not loud but deep. " This is
advertising with a vengeance , > and
must bo grateful to the firms who
were foolish enough to pay a round
sum for the second-hand illustrations
and worse than second-hand letter
) ross , under the impression that they
were to sot forth Omaha's commercial
and residence advantages. In fact ,
enterprises of the kind under consid
eration are the poorest nnd most ex
pensive of investments for advertis
ers. The paper has a smaller circula
tion than THE DAILY BEE , and dis
tributes less than one-fourth tlionum-
> or cf copies citculnted by the las
SEE. ( supplement. There nro .always
omo men who , failing to see the ad-
nntagcs of patronizing local firms ,
hrow away twice the amount of
money in foreign and worthless insti
tutions.
A VEUY intelligent mechanic and
milder of this oity informed the
tlorald last evening that ho already
lad lost a thousand dollars in consequence
quence of the strike hero. The same
jood authority says it is within his
fnowlodgo that between $400,000 and
$500,000 $ worth of contemplated im
provements have boon abandoned in
.he city this year from the same
cause. Herald
As usual , the Herald exaggerates. '
Dmaha has built many air castles on
paper every winter , which we're aban
doned every Hpring. If all the plans
our architects have drawn during the
last ton years had boon put into
brick and mortur , Omaha would today -
day bo a city capable of housing a
population of 100,000. Those who
build palatial blocks on paper every
winter have to invent some pretext for
abandoning their contemplated im
provements , As a matter of fact ,
there are .two reasons why many
pacer blocks costing in the aggregate
$400,000 to $500,000rill remain on
paper for a few years longer. First ,
the real estate gamblers nro making
too much money out of unimproved
lots to invest in brick and mortar.
Second , as long as a certain class of
capitalists can rent their tinder boxes
to prostitutes and gamblers for double
what a brick block would yield from
respectable business , they don't pro
pose to invest in brick and mortar.
THE Omaha Herald speaks in very
commendatory terms of Mr. Valentine - -
tine for his action in retaining the i
troops in Omaha during the riot , and
contrasts him with Senator Van Wyck
considerably to that gentleman's dis
credit. Coming from a democratic
source it is to bo appreciated. [ West
Point Republican , 'v
Senator Van Wyok has never sought
commendation at the hands of The
Herald , and wo know ho prefers that
such favors should bo ro&orvod exclu
sively for Valentino nnd other monopoly
ely atool pigeons , Senator Von Wyck
knows that the favor of The Hera'd '
has alwuy * boon political death to' any
republican ,
OTHER LANDS THAN OCRS-
The diplomatic relations of the vari
ous continental powers have not ma
terially changed during the past woek.
Skoboloff , who is naturally looked
upon as the exponent of the genuine
HUBS fooling towards Germany , is re
ceiving a ( cries of enthusiastic ova
tions throughout the empire , and his
more cautious utterances are tinged
with the same tone of defiance to Teu
ton ism , which marked his speech to
the Paris students. So far from being -
ing disgraced by the czar ho has been
cordially received , and the rebuke
published by the continental journals
was probably , if given at all , given
only to the press. Meantime dis
quieting rumors continue to disturb
Europe. Bismarck is reported as say
ing to n visiting delegation of the
Reichstag that nil his 'efforts were
necessary to maintain the peace of
the continent. The Emperor William
strongly opposes any warlike move ,
but Bismarck's influence will un
doubtedly make itself felt the moment
that ho comes to the conclusion that
war with Russia is surely threatening.
To strike the first blow at nn unpre
pared adversary has always boon the
policy of the wily chancellor. With
an army which requires only nine
days to bo in marching order , nnd
twice that number of days to send
700,000 men across the Russian fron
tier , the advantage of early offensive
measures is manifest. It took Russia
at the beginning of the Turkish
war nearly six month ; to put
her armies in campaign. In the event
of a general conflict , it is very evident
that Germany and Austria will make
common cause , and it is equally clear
that such a league would only bo at
tacked by Franco and Russia togeth
er. Italy , both from race , religion ,
and hatred of the Hapsburg dynasty ,
would naturally join the Franco-Rus
sian allianct ) , but at present she shows
no liking ior her Latin neighbor.
The French invasion of Tunis has
created. BO much bitterness and jeal
ousy that many Italian statesmen
would gladly embrace an opportunity
to restore the prestige of Italy in
Northern Africa , nt the expense of
Franco , and seek in Tunis the ag
grandizement which must necessarily
bo abandoned in Trieste. Recent ut
terances prove that such a tnrn in af
fairs is not only looked upon as pos
sible in Rome , but regarded with
much favOr" .
While it hikes a majority of either
the senate or the house of representa
tives of oar congress to constitute n
quorum to du business , the presence
of forty members only is sufficient for
D valid sitting of the house of com
mons. And yet the whole number of
parsons entitled to seats is between
COO nnd 700 , the greater part of
whom are habitually absent except on
occasions of unusual consequence.
When a party division is expected the
"whips , " as they nro called , hnve to
bo restore to rally tho. absentees.
On some of these divisions the atten
dance is very nearly full , although
there nro not seats for much inoro than
half of them , the idea in the con
struction of the accommoda
tions having boon that
sitting room for throo-fourths of the
members would bo enough. This
makes the assemblage rather undigni
God. and tumultumous , but the emer
gencies which call for these crowds
nro exceptional. When the omorgon
sios arise , however , the loaders of the
opposing parties find but little trouble
in rallying their adherents for the
itrugglo. The custom of the Liberal
"whip" has boon to call his men to
gether for occasions of this aort by
moans of n circular "earnestly ro
luosting" , their nttondnnce. Sir
Wilfred Lawson said of this a few
years ago that if the word "earnestly"
wore not underscored it meant that
there was some important political
business which might or might not
come on that night ; if ono stroke np
ponrod under the word "earnestly" it
signified that the member ought to
come ; if there were two lines under
it it meant that ho ( mould come ; if
throe , that ho must ? como , and if four ,
it meant "como , or stay nt your
peril. "
Parliament is still dragging its
length with very few measures of real
importance as yet brought to a pas
sage. At the beginning the govern
ment outlined a programme of almost
purely English legislation. Beyond
the routine business of supply little
has boon accomplished. The llrad.
laugh case was dealt with in a spirit
of cowardice which will not help the
liberals airong the radical branch of
the party. The Irish troubles still
continue. The expected contest between -
tweon the lords and the commons
ended in smoke , and the cloture has
BO far failed of passage. Meanwhile ,
the reforms in the law regulating the
transfer , leasing and possession of
land , for which the English farmer
has so long and patiently waited , are
put off. An attempt to abolish the
law of distress , which gives direct en
couragement to the bad management
of farms by making landlords indilfor-
out about the solvency of their tenants -
ants , has boon mot by a member of
the ministry with the declaration that
it had not boon proved that the tenant
farmers wished the law of distress
abolished , and beyond that none of
the remedial measures mentioned in
the speech from the throne have been
a subject of discussion. It would
seem , if liberal promises to English
tanners and farm laborers are ever to
bo kept , that the present is an oxcep
ttonally favorable time for beginning
the
An Assoclatod Press dispatch from
the Cily of Mexico states that , accord
ing to the official returns just publish
cd , the receipts of the Vera Cruz cus
torn house for February amounted to
8810,950 , being $300,000 more then
for the snmo month last year. In es
timating the importance of this in
crease the fact muni bo borne in mint :
that the very largo item of materials
carried into the country for railway
construction is not included , these
materials being entered duty free.
This increase , of nearly sixty per con !
is therefore an actual increase of con
sumption in Mexico of other parts ol
the world largely of the products ol
the United States. And it obviously
is duo to the stimulating effect upon
the business of the republic of the
American railways. Already nearly
three hundred and fifty miles of the
National and more than a hundred
miles of the Centr.il are open for
traffic ; and although these nro opera
ted in dissevered sections and under
great disadvantages , it is clear thai
they already are arousing the coun
try to a now and vigorous commercial
life.

A HEOENT report made by the Brit
ish postofiico department shows the
working of postal telegraphs by the
government to have boon of a most
satisfactory character during the fiscal
year ending March 31 , 1881. The
gross receipts for the ( year amounted
to $8,160,430 , and the working expenses
ponsos to $5,007,130 , which last in'
eluded a contribution of $00,000 to a
depreciation fund , to replace sub
merged cables. This loft a balance of
$2,202,400 , which is equal to 4.13 per
ont. on the total expenditure of $53 ,
270,855. As the government does
not pay more than 3 per cent , upon
this amount , it is evident that the tel
egraphs nro yielding a profit to the
treasury. This is the first time that
the receipts were equal to the pay
ment of interest on capital , and now
there is some talk of reducing the
charges for telegraphing by the post-
office deportment.
The report of Lieutenant Melville ,
of the Joan otto , to the secretary of the
navy , dated at Yakutsk , Siberia , Jan
uary 0 , 1882 , and giving news from
Captain Do Long and his boat's crow
to October 0 , 1881 , is a very melan
choly record of Buffering and death.
At the time it was written the latest
news from DeLong was nearly three
months old , and the crews of Melville
and DoLong had boon separated for
five months. It seems almost certain
that the fourteen men and officers of
DoLonn's party have perished with
hunger nnd cold in nn almost unin
habited arctic wilderness.

THE growing extravagance of the
country is making itself felt m the
increased burdens laid upon the
shoulders of the producing classes.
Congress is setting the example ,
nnd every legislature and municipality
it following in its wake. What the
country needs moro than anything
else is greater economy in high
places.
The expenses of running national ,
state or local governments must.be
mot by taxation direct or indirect.
The poorer classes pay the largest
proportion of our taxea. They pay
them in diminished wages , in increased
prices for staples , in loss of labor , re
sulting from non-employment.
The nation , as a whole , is living
extravagantly. Our spendthrift class
is increasing daily in numbers. The
demand for luxuries is affecting all
other branches of trade , Instead o
laying aside a surplus tor hard times ,
as a people , wo are living up to our
incomes. Instead of spending our
money in employing labor and stimu
lating healthy production , wo are pa }
ing out millions to the nmnufvctun >
of foreign luxuries and compelling
our own manufacturers to conform to
foreign tastes adopted as our own.
In the meantime the poor are forced
to pay war prices for the necessities
of life. Rent , fuel and provisions
have advanced in every city of the
country. And the pleas of high taxes ,
increased cost of living and incomes
which are no moro than enough to
meet the demands of the capitalist's
purse , are urged as grounds against an
increase of workingmen's wages. It
is a season of high prices. Tin so
liigh prices are largely the result of
our national and individual oxtrava-
gance.J
