THE APAOHE OTT1BREAK. The Indian outbreak in Arizona and Now Mexico gains in aoriousnons with each succeeding report. If the dispatches from the scat of war are bo bo credited , there nro prospects of a general Apncho uprising. It must not bo forgotten , however , that every Indian trouble is generally grossly ex aggerated and that the fears of the sottiors are apt to magnify the num bers engaged far beyond their actual proportions. Public fooling is pretty well worked up in Arizona , ae the message sent by the people of Tucson to President Arthur shows. Sumo excitement is perhaps pardonable when it is considered that there are in Arizona four Indian agencies nt which are 18,000 Indiana , and an equal number of agencies exist in Now Mexico with 27OCO Indians , besides several roving bands attached to no agencies. The present trouble had its origin as far back as the transferring of the Chilicaua Indians to the San Carlos agency in Arizona , and the removal of the Warm Springs Indians from Now MoxlcA. It was intensified by the hanging some Weeks ago of throe In dian scouts , who deserted from Carr In the Ciblquo campaign. From the beat information obtainable from official sources , it does not seem that more than 150 bucks are di rectly concerned in the present outbreak. Still the fact that from 4,000 to 6,000 Indians nro likely to bo affected unless prompt measures are taken to chock the outbreak makes the situation serious. Five hundred cavalry , under Col , Forsytho , are in pursuit , pnd all needed reinforcements will bo forthcoming. The ardors from General Sheridan to General Crook , to place the Fourth infantry and Third cavalry under waiting orders , may or may not have reference to the trouble n Arizona. A change of station for ; heso regiments has boon under con templation for some time , and the transfer of the troops is probably in the line of a policy decided upon before the outbreak of hostilities. Should both rcgiinontsbosont to the Indian country from 1,100 to 1,200 soldiers will bo added to the force now operating un der Col. Forsytho. There , is every reason to believe that the trouble in Arizona will bo sup- pro&sod an promptly as is possible. But it must not be lost eight of that fighting the Apaches in thn rocky canyons of that country is by no means as easy work as carrying on a campaign on the northern plains. No [ nuians fight so well from cover as the Apaches , and conducting a war against , ho tribe is much like hunting jack rabbits ono at a time and each on the jump. No ono appreciates the fact hotter than General George Orodko , who , with several of his pres ent stall , bad a very lively if not a successful experience with the Apaches several'years ago. ALTJIOUOIT the routine business of congress is further advanced than s usual at this stage of the session , .ho belief is expressed by many mom- jors of both houses that final adjourn ment is not likely to talco place earlier than the middle of July or the first of August. Congressmen feel that the majority must make some record on questions of public policy if they hope to carry the next houeo for the repub lican party. Bo far nothing has been accomplished excepting the passage of several ot the appropriation bills. The Chinofo bill drafted in accordance with the views of thu Pacific coast has failed to pass the White house and the effect upon republican voters has boon so unfavorable that it is doubtful whether the passage of thn present measure will act as an antidote. . Prohibitory legislation in Ohio is likely to lose several congress ional districts in that state to the re publicans and the disaffection in the parly in Now York and Pennsylvania is alarming. At present there is an entire almonce of issues upon which to basu a vigorous canvass. The reduc tion of taxation BO earnestly demand- ol at thu opening of the session not only mining unaccomnHBhud but thu senate ha squarely dodged thu issue by iti advocacy and pasungo ot a bill for a tariff co iiumaion , The question of reorganizing the national bunko has not been mot. It is true an , anti- polygamy measure , has been passed , but Anti-polygamy is U scarcely an issue upon1 which much political capital can be made for either of the parties. Administration reform , the questDn ! of'mouopoly , the issue be tween cspital and labor , the principle 'arid policy of taxation , subjects'which sooner or later must form the' basis for honest discussion and honest dif , foronco of opinion between parties , have been thus far skillfully evaded by congress. It is no wonder , then , that republican congressmen feel that they rcquiro something beside the more passage ' of the' appropriation bills for a record on which to go be fore the country and ask a support for their party and themselves as candi dates for ro-olection. Q'liu citizens of Omaha will not regret to lnarn that , beginning with to-day , the management of Ilunscom Park is to change hands , Thu filthy condi tion of that people's pleasure grounds the present spring has been a dUgraco to the cily , It 1ms been used for vcrylhing from A cow pasture to a garbage heap. The janitor's house has boon filthy beyond dcicription. Every washing day the fountains in front of the main entrance have been filled with A chaste and care fully assorted collection of tubs while the walks adjoining have been decorated with a selection of house hold rubbish largo enough to stock n well furnished junk shop. This is aside from any remarks on the general - oral condition of the park itself which has been too wretched tor criticism. The roads have been forlornly re paired , the grass more than half the time unkcpt and the rubbish from a summer pic io season has been al lowed to accumulate with no attempt at removal , The attention of the city council which is vested with the supervision of the park is called to the necessity of more active measures to keep it in a presentable condition. It will bo used moro than over during the coming Bumtnor , owing to the completion of the St. Mary's avenue car lino. If any pleasure at all is to bo derived from its use by our citizens , there must bo a radical change in the manner in which it is maintained. TUB great strike of mechanics and laborers at Toronto has ended , and the men will resume work to-day. The conflict between capital and labor was settled , as all such conflicts should bo by an agreement on both sides to submit to arbitration. A joint agreement was entered into that will carry into effect the suggestions made by TH UKE during the re cent labor troubles in Omaha. Under this arrangement the joint com mittee of the men and employers are to select a chairman who shall preside at a meeting to bo hold in the month of January of each year to decide the rate of wages for the following twelve months ; changes , if any , not to take place before the 1st of May of each year. year.Omaha Omaha contractors and capitalists should profit by this example. The Ca nadians can got all the military protec tion they need but during the recent strike they had the good sense to ap point a conference committee which mot an equal number of men ap pointed to represent the strikers and after a mutunl conference they have reached an amicable understanding which in the future will save both em ployers and employ03 a great deal of trouble and expense. IT IB a beautiful political circus in Pennsylvania. The independents , headed by Ghaa. Wolfe , who received DO,000 votes for state treasurer loot fall against the regular republican nominee , are preparing for battle , and have been joined by United States Senator Mitchell , who declares that plunder and patronage are the only motives for the action of the Oamorona , and openly allies himself with the independents for the purpose of securing nn honest state convention add au untrainmolod expression of the popular voice in the coming nomina tions for stuto oflicors. At last ac counts Don Cameron was undecided whether to fight or compromise , Two fast freight lines have just boon organized to carry through freights between Chicago and Denver without breaking bulk or transfer. This will afford another source of revenue to the inner cirolo of railroad magnates that always exhibit wonderful energy in such paying enterprises. This maybe bo an exception , but pearly all the fast freight lines in this country are nothing raoro nor loss than schemes to'put ' money into the pockets of rings organized among the officers' of the railroads under the pretense of special accommodation to the public. TUB coming year should see a hoary increase in the number bf cattle and hogs fed in Nebraska. The prices now paid for beef and hogs will make this iiidnstry exceedingly profitable , and from present Indications there will be no lack of both grass and grain for thu purpose pf feeding. Stock railing will prove a , mine of wealth this season , and our farmers will find plenty ot use for their surplus crops whioh will bring a much lower price this fall than last. DURING a recent trip of the editor of TUB BH to Seward county ho was more than over impressed with the truth of ( ho oft quoted remark that "N braska is the garden spot of the west. " In the character of its citbens no loss than in the industry and thrift everywhere displayed , no county - ty in the state has the advantage over Soward. ' ' j QUITH a sensation was created Sat urday on the New York Elevated railroad by the explosion ot a couple of infernal machines which wcro said to have boon sent in a mail pouch to Cyrus W. Field and Yandorbilt. The police suspect the sender was some bloodthirsty nihilist , but it may turn out to have boon some victim of Ele vated railroad stock swindle. UAVINQ passed the house and th ° senate , the anti-Ohiueao bill now goes back to the house for concurrence in the senate amendments. There is a fooling in Washington tint the presi dent will sign the bill , ON THE DECLINE. This paper is not in the habit ol boasting about its business affairs. As the most widely circulated newspaper west of the Mississippi , its command ing position is recognized in this city and state , whore its popularity ant influence are best known. It is only when attempts are made by designing parties to create a false impression abroad about the standing of Omaha dailies that wo deem proper to expose imposture and , challeigo comparison. A statement was recently publishct by the Omaha Iloptiblican concerning its alleged increase of circulation in which that paper boosted of having overtaken TUK DKK both at homo ant abroad. The evident object of this brazen falsehood , which could deceive nobody in Omaha , was to impose on foreign advertisers. Because wo dit not see fit to contradict ant denounce the imposture promptly some of our exchanges , notably the Lincoln Journal , indulged in comment about the recent decline of TUK BBB , which they ascribed to the course it had pursued during the labor troubles. For the informa tion of all concerned wo herewith sub mit sworn statements of the circula tion of TUB BBB before and since the labor troubles , with a 'detailed exhibit of city circulation during a period of eighteen months. Wo also invite attention to the sumrrary and chal lenge that accompany this exhibit : CITY CIKCULATIOIT. STATK OF NKDUASKA , K.

Thus it will bo soon that the general - oral circulation of Tins BKB , which aggregated 0,587 copies before the labor troubles commenced , reached 0,659 copies when the trouble was over , and has grown to 7,004 copies during the four weeks that followed the evacuation of Omaha by the army. Right hero let us make known a few established tacts ! 1st. THK DAILY BKB has a larger general circulation than the combined circulation of all the other daily papers published in Nebraska. 2. TUB BKB circulates fully throe times as many Dailies in the city of circulated by the Omaha as are Omaha- Herald and ' Republican together , 3. The Herald and Republican together cannot show forty subscrib- of Omaha that are not era in the city also subscribers of THE BKH , while TUK-BEK has fully 2,300 , BubscriborB in this city that are not reached , by cither of these papers.

Now lot The Republican show up or retract. Wo have now boon waiting ono week for the acceptance of our propo sition , but the only response The Republican publican has made is that the business manager of that concern can nol spare the time to make the exhibit ol circulation , which wo have challenged him to produce. The Lincoln Jour nal , since the above was published , very gracefully admits that TUB BBB can sustain the claim that its rcula- tion is much larger than that of its Omaha contemporaries , but The Jour nal discredits the claim that the cir culation of TUB DAILT BBB is greater than the aggregate circulation of all the doilies in the state. The latest reliable figures of the cir culation of the dailies published in Nebraska with very liberal estimates that we know cannot bo contradicted by sworn statement , is as follows : Omaha Republican 1GT > 0 " Herald 1800 Lincoln Journal 1,700 " Democrat k 45- Nebraska City Pres .450 " News. , 400 Fremont Herald 300 Platturobuth Journal 27Q Total 7,025 Aggregate daily circulation of the BKB on April ISth 7,004 Circulation April 30th 7,230 The Republican btini ; apiked en tirely , wo now sk the Lincoln Jour nal to acknowledge that TUB BEE has made no claim which it cannot fully sustain.
