THE Nebraska legislature will b
called presently. Acting GoTorno
Thurston is almost ready to tssuo the
proclamation.
CITIZEN YOST , Oitizon Miller ani
Citizen Brooks are now hand in hanc
for the protection of Uio community
against the terrible communists.
COKSTKUCTION rings in every branch
of corporate enterprise , and are rapidly
making the monopoly managers
wealthy and robbing the pockets ol
stockholders and producers.
TUB "unanimous state press , " about
which the Republican bragged in con
nection 'with the labor troubles , seem
to bo very generally on THH BEE'H
aide of the fence.
THE only grounds that thu U. P.
crowd have for calling themselves
business men is because they mean
business in the coming election. So
do our merchants and workingmcn.
J. STEIILINO MOIITON has evidently
put in on appearance at Washington.
That malicious and scurrilous , attack
on Senator Van Wyck to the Chicago
Times shows his oar marks. And the
Omaha Herald by design has copied
it , of course.
ONE of the candidates for the may-
prahty of Kansas City gives as a plank
in hia platform "A rigid enforcement
of the laws where the rights of the
public are invaded by persons or cor
porations. " Omaha needs a little of
the medicine very badly.
WHILE thu south is clamoring so
loudly for national grants for educa
tional purposes , it would bo well for
her to see what rho can do without
> . them. Iowa spends annually ono and
four-tenths per cent , of her taxable
property for school purposes , while
Georgia contributes but ono-tonth of
ono per cout. for this object.
AMD The Denver Tiibuno Ima ut
lost found out how it hupponod. It
says : "It now transpires that Dennis -
nis Kearney instigated the recent la
bor trouble at Omaha. This exoner
ates Mr. E. Resonator , the nihilist
editor of THE OMAHA BEH , on account
of whom Editor Miller , of the Herald ,
has been wearing stool plated corsets
and shout iron pan IB for the past
seven years.
PETTY official thieving is made the
text for an admirable article in the
Philadelphia Proas , in which the
email peculiarities which are con
stantly going on the national capital
are characterized as leas endurable
than the larger scandals. Big expos
ures , Bays the Press , are like thunder
storms , they may level tall trees but
they clear the air , while the drizzling
bowers of small scandals , with which
the country has boon drenched for six
mouths past , do nothing but do moral-
ice. It looks as if official lifo in aoam-
od and corrupted with entire disregard
of a high honesty in email things.
"Tho govommont architect gets
up house plans drawn by government
clerks on government stationery in ti
government oillcu for everybody in
official place , and govommont me
chanics build the buildings , "tempor
arily" rolloved from the government
pay roll. The govormnimt bindery
binds books for congressmen and
sends in no bill. The library of con-
gretts and all the othur government
libraries , big and little , are run like
subscription libraries for ofllcials.
Government stationery turns up a very ,
where in Washington , government
clocks tiok in acorei of private houaos ,
government denks aland under private
roofs , government carpeta cover pri *
yato floors All ever the government
porr'.i u ix raining in some shape and
private porridge pots are kept right
side up with care to catch the drip
pings.
The scandals in the army and navy
departments are Bald to bo quite ai
bad as in the civil oervice and the
Map , perfumery and toilet articles
dealt out by the medical purvey are
the joke of half of Washington The
official conscience needs sharpening
until the doqtrino that the theft of a
small article is theft as much as the
embezzlement of millions , becomes
recognized and is acted upon at the
national capita ] ,
' MEETING.
1HAT CITIZENS' .
The Bo-called mooting of citizens c
Omaha to protect themselves ngaim
un imaginary disaster from organize
labor is very transparent to ever
thinking man. With JohuM. Thuri
ton at the head , and Frank Waltora i
the tail , the citizens' anaconda is i
reality , nothing raoro or less than
dciporato move on the party of tli
corporate monopolies to retain contn
of our city council , and prevent tli
possibility of an anti-monopoly deli
gation to the next legislature ,
It was the same old crowd that w
have scon hero so often , mustorin
under the U. P. flag. With the cj
coptiou of four or live prominent tna
payers who have lost their heads ovc
nincn the late labor troubles , the busi
ness men did not put in nn appeal
nnco. The procession that filed oti
of the Hoard of Trade rooms Inn
night , as near as wo can romombci
was as follows : John M. Thurston
U. P.jjpoliticnl attorney ; Lcaviot
Buriiham , U. P. land commissioner
A. L Robison , U. P. right-of-wn
attorney ; Howard Kennedy and I1
L. Pcrino , U. P. land department
Q. F. Labagh , U. P. storekeeper a
Holly notoriety ; J. S. Gibson , clorl
t U. P. transfer ; Paul Vondorvoort
: hiof head striker ; Charley Gtcen , B
& M. attorney ; Robert Taylor , B. f
M. olork ; W. I. Baker , U. P. em
? loyo ; Fred Nash , U. P. car ac
: ountant ; Guy 0. Barton , ox-U. P
tonator ; John A. Horbaoh , railroai
right-of-way man ; Joe Barker , ga
nonoplist ; Caspar Yost , Datus Brooks
[ . W. Minor , brass-collared troupe o
; ho Republican ; Charley Bankes , M
tl. Risdon and Frank Waltora.
And these are the solil merchant
> f Omaha.
Of the ticket these parties put U ]
vo have little to say oxcc | > t that th
indornmont from that crowd will hard
y commend them to men who wan
[ oed > : ivorntnont in the interest o
ho rcu1 tax payers and not in the in
orost iif the corporations. Mr. Me
3avock was at ono time an out am
lut anti-monoply man , but ho hn
ompromisod his differences , and nov
s heartily endorsed by Thurston , Van
lorvoort and Frank Walters. W. J ,
Connody is a rospoctblo man , and i
; oed citizen who wo would like to sec
n the city council. But ho has boor
lut up by Thurston as a dummy tc
iclp Hascall whom the corporation
appors intend to pull through in the
ocond ward by ways that are darl
ud tricks that are vain.
Mr. August Weiss was put forward
a a dummy to help Hornborifoi
hrough , who is the real choice of the
'same olfl crowd" and will receive
heir support. Weiss has already do-
lined , as ho was expected to do , and
ho field is now open to Hornborgor.
With Messrs. Dunham and Daily
70 have no fault to find. Mr. Daily
las already declined. Whether Mr.
) unham will stand remains to be
eon. Mr. Baker la a reputable citi-
un but , of course , represent * his
mploycrs the U. P. road.
Tlio school board has no political
ignifioinco and Tliuratou thouphtit
in Imps hcttt to lot the old board ro-
iiiiin.
The citizens wcro ndviscd not to
ako part in the party primaries ,
rhioh have become very corrupt , but
vhon the convention muots the people
rill bet in to smell a mice. Thurston
nd Frank Waltora will moan time aeo
o it that only their old crowd will go
3 the primaries and carry out the
ookod up programme.
A TEX AN'BONANZA. '
Shiphord'a Peruvian guano achomo
aa directed attention to the report
tiat immense guano deposits exist in
'exos ' , which , if properly worked ,
'ill render our country independent
f all others for a supply of tlu's for.
ilizor. Mr. Morton Frooven , well
nownto many in Omaha aa a wealthy
Vyoming atook raiser , has visitedthia
usno territory , which liea in JJvaldo
ounty , western Texas , and reports
hat the deposits really exist and uro
ound in immense caves , which for
onturioa have boon the resorts of bata.
'ho largest , known iwthoUvaldocavo ,
located nt'ar the Trio river. The
i > rmar owner declared that the do-
twit in thia ono c.vvo ulono could not
j oxlnuatod for the next hundrnd
cats. Mr. Frceven personally viaitud
uothor C.IVO , known us the "Oibalo , "
do entrance to which was about fifty
not hixh and Uouty.flvu foot wide.
L long paBEago leads , to the outorcavo ,
rhoso floor for thirty foot id covered
rith the dry fertilizer. Thu atmoa-
hero is dry , and five yeara ago the
uano caught fire , the whole surface
eing burned ever to the depth of
jur foot. Binco then , eight
jetof guano have been deposited , and
Ma , a&yaMr. Froovon , provea that
no fertilizer ia being dop wited at the
te of more than a foot and a half a
ear. ThU ia only the ante-ohamber.
> n the far aide of thia outer care , In
be aide of the dome , ia an opening aix
set by eight feet in aiie. Through
bla the bata go to an inner cave ,
'hich ' has never boon explorwd. It la
olieved , however , to be very extun-
ivo , because of the Immense number
f bata which daily Bleep in it , and be-
rose at the time of the fire great
uantitiesof atnoke escaped through
revicca in the rock , near the Oibolo
, ver , on the opposite aide of the hill ,
fro and a half miles from the main
utranoe. "
This cave ia believed to be twp
miles long nnd very broad , whiln tli <
Uvaldo cave is six times ns Inr f
During the war the Confederate
worked the caves and obtained larg
quantities of salt potero from the < 1
posits.
The construction of the Texas Pacifi
railroad has made thteo great gunn
deposits available. A few wcoka ng
ono English company made their fire
shipment of American guano to Lot
don nnd capital has bcon secured t
thoroughly work all the deposits. A
the guano Bella readily at from fift
to sixty dollars n ton , the Texan cave
are as good as a silver minu to the !
owners , while the immense quantit
of the material on hand assures to th
country for ninny years to come n
cxhaustlosa supply of this valuabl
fertilizer independent of the wars an
contentions of our South America
sinters.
Tim time would nppnar to bo com
ing vhon Gould and YandorbiU , lib
Alexander the Great , will sigh be
cause no worlds remain for them t
conquer. It is understood that thcs
mighty monopoly map nates have com
to an understanding , and propose i
parcel out between themselves th
greater portion of the transportatioi
traffio of the country , if such an enterprise
terpriso can bo accomplished by th
aid of boundless energy and untoli
wealth. Now York advices state tha
negotiations have boon begun for th
consolidation of the YandorbiU trunl
lines , including the Chicago & North
western with the Union and Centra
PaciGc , thus givi.ig a einglo route
under ono management , botwcoi
the Atlantic & PaciGc. A second sto
is to bo the consolidation of all th
Gould properties , making a grea
southeastern route to the Pacific , J
money part of the coal roada and ;
consolidation of all the tolcgraphi
and cable companies ia also mention
od. Whan these pinna are conaum

aaaumo all its liabilities nnd pormi
to people to exist as best they oat

The only park of nny cousidcrnbl

omtnining about 1,800 acroa. It lie
between the city und the oconn am
waa purchased ubout eight years ngo
when it was nothing but n sand heap
while now by economical nnd carofu
nntiagomcnt more than half of it ha

The distance from the heart of tin
city through the nearest park to tin
ocean at the Cliff house ia about H
niles , and every day in the week , bu
uniculorly on Saturday afternoon

park and or an are lined nith vehiclei

Iio afternoon , nnd about five o'ui u.1
iio sky took on a leaden hue , and the
term was at its height , with n full
ido. The wind blow a hurricane and
: ie waves , in fapid succession , spout
iiomselves against the sea rocks , just
utsido the CluT house , and at times
ntiroly engulfing thorn , though the ;
; and more than bftyfeeooutof wator.
in and on the waves came , aa if bent
n reaching the Cliff % house , which
teed thus far safely ensconced bo
und the seal rocks , but finally as
favo after wave broke over the outer
mrriera the shattered waves continued
heir course in spray and foam , until
t times the entire building was en-
eloped , and so the strife of the olo-
ncnts continued until night set in ,
taking the econo , if possible , still
nero weird. It was a wild scene , but
enjoyed it , for having been in a
toim at sea where the elements waged
vur on die vessel anil all on board , I
olt a kind of eavngo mititf.iction at
seeing the waves vanquished by the
immovable rock a , that secmod to say ,
"Thus far almlt tliou go , and no far
ther , " nnd while sitting and enjoyinp
liiitiro tecuiily from tlio Htorm , I wua
reminded of an old gentleman who
; amo on deck during a storm ut
ica with pallid lips and heaving
uoinach who said the man was a fool
who wrote "A Lifo ou the Ocean
vVavo. " I was reminded at the same
: imo of the Irishman that looked at
, hu steam excavator at work and daid ,
Ye may dig canals , and yomay uinko
railroads , but ye can't vote ! " And
10 I could ait and enjoy the ocean in
ta fury , without the tear of being en-
; ulfod by its waves' or even having the
tornach turned. It waa a grander
light than to stand andaea some other
nan's property burned I
