THK Waring oyatoin of sewerage Is
Wearing well in Omaha.
JUST jxt present Omaha streets nro
"all toro up" and so nro the people
who travel on thorn ,
WIT which amuses itself at the expense -
ponso of nationality and religion is
amusing to a very few.
THE now'throo pur cent , bonds arc

THE methods adopted by Valentino's
strikers in Lincoln county to throttle
a f rue expression of the party through
the primaries is in keeping with the
course of the whole gang that seeks
to force Valentino upon our fltnto for
a third term. Such outrages must bo
repulsed by our congressional and
atato conventions. Boss rule in Penn
sylvania was never more aggravating.
SEVERAL of the senators and repre
sentatives who voted to pass the river
and harbor bill over the president's
veto approve heartily of the senti
ments of the veto and otpress the
hope that it will guido future con-
grosos. Such commendation is like
that of Artemus Ward's lecture com
mittee who passed a resolution asking
him to repeat his performance in
other towns , .
COMMENTING upon the star route
thieves' purchase of newspapers the
Washington Star lays : "They bought
papers right and loft , and when they
did not gobble up an entire establishment
mont , they purchased silence. " This
sentence is respoctfully'roforrod to the
editors of the Republican and Ilcmld
in Omaha who might , if they would ,
throw some confirmatory evidence
upon the subject in connection with
the late star route trials in Lincoln.
AND now Minnesota is bragging
loudly over her crop prospects. The
harvest it is said will bo ono of the
largest and best over grown in the
northwest. The grand total of the
wheat crop will not bo less than thirty-
eight millions of bushels against thirty
millions in 1881. Oats far exceed in
quality and qantily any previous yield ,
while the potato crop is simply enor
mous , The man who takes care of the
Kansas statistics hud butter look after
his laurels.
OMAHA'S boaid of public works
scorn to bo earning their Halary and
find it necessary to hold almost dnily
meetings. Dodge and Sixteenth
streets arc being curbed and guttered ,
the north and south sewers arc under
construction and Douglas and Tenth
streets will bo paved as rapidly as pos
sible. Eternal vigilance is the price
of good work in nil city contracts and
a wide awake board of public works
will more than save their salary every
year of their existence.
THE present is not the first congress

CONGRESS AND THE NORTHERN -
ERN PACIFIC.
The influence of the railroads has
been more strongly fnlt in the present
session of congress than at any time
since Tom Scott's ' Texas Pacific lobby
ruled both houses at Washington ,
In senate and house the committees at
the beginning of the session were
carefully packed with friends of the
corporations , The lobby was well or
ganized , carefully disciplined and am
ply supplied with funds. With the
committees to strangle unfavorable
resolutions and push bills in their in
terest , and with sufficient retainers on
the floor of the bodies to provide
against any lapse on the party by the
committees , the railroads have suc
ceeded in accomplishing nearly every
scheme which they have inaugurated ,
and in stifling every bill introduced
counter to their interest.
The land grant roads have bcon
under active discussion , and early in
the session the question whether the
Northern Pacific railroad had not for
feited their lands under the charter by
reason of failure to comply with its
conditions was roforrrd to the judi
ciary committee. On the O'.h of Jan
uary the majority report of the com
mittee , signed by eight of the fit teen
members , was presented to congress.
The majority reported that the land
grant bore no reference to the com
pletion of the road by any specified
time and that as the company is now
proceeding to complete its line as
rapidly as possible , there is no ground
for the interference of the government
in any respect except to issue certifi
cates of land as the work progresses.
The minority report vigorously dis
putes the position of the majority in
regard to the legal question of the for
feiture of the land. In addition they
show how a generous government and
people hayo donated to the Northern
Pacific company a great railroad and
several millions besides , President
Villord's report shows 3,083,055 acres
of land sold for $11,505,460 ; residue ,
30,410,047 acre * , § 98,540,117 ; total ,
$110,105,581 ; cost of 2,400i miles of
road , § 93,525,008 ; surplus , $10,578-
015. After making the * company a
present of the road , the value of the
latris loft in its treasury by the gov
ernment exceeds the enormous sum of
sixteen million dollars , upon the
oflicial exhibit of the president , The
minority of the committee do not ac
cept the figures of President Villard.
Upon the data furnished by the gov
ernment auditor of railroad accounts ,
the value of the land grant is § 108- ,
750,000 ; the cost of constructing the
road , § 07,400,000 ; surplus , $41,281- ,
000. But the minority take the mean
between the reports of President Vil
lard and the government auditor , and
state the account thus : Value of the
land cold and unsold , § 101,105,584 , ;
cost of construction , § 80,484,932 , ; sur
plus , § 20,010,052.
This enormous sum is the neat little -
tlo plum which is to bo divided up
among Northern Pacific stockholders
after their road is entirely paid for in
government lands. The judiciary com
mittee minority are of the opinion
that a liberal government has done
enough for those meritorious stock
holders by constructing their road
without making them a present of n
colossal fortune to boot.
In the face of such revelations , the
Philadelphia Itcconl thinks it is no
lunger a mystery how enormous for
tunes have bcon made In a few years
by manipulating hind grant roads.
The original owners of this stock
of the Northern Pacific who stood on
the "ground floor" have never paid n
dollar of thnir subscriptions , but have
received it as n free gift from the
government , with lauds to the value
of thirty millions more. They have a
railroad extending across the conti
nent to the Pacific ocean , which cost
them nothing , and upon which the
people must pay them the highest
rates of freight that the traflio will
bear. Still worao is the history of the
Union Pacific and C ( ntral Pacific rail
road companies with the Credit Mo-
biltor scandal. In the construction
of those railroads Oakes Amos , Iloxio ,
Durant and their follow-conspirators
robbed the people of their lauds and
money and the shareholders of their
rights. The cost of construction was
from § 12,000 to § 1)0,000 ) n mile , the
enormous profits of which were di
vided among the plunderers , And ,
as a result , colossal fortunes amount
ing to ton , twenty , thirty and oven
fifty million dollars have boon accumulated -
mulatod from the land and labor of
the pooplo. Someof these days a
movement will spring up against rail
road monopoly which may become as
unjust and unreasoning in its fury as
its objects have been dishonest und
rapacious in I ho purauit of wealth and
power.
Mit. VALENTINE'S committee clerk
revamps his old challenge to argue the
anti-monopoly issue with the editor of
Tin : UKK through the columns of the
lleHttllican , and charges that Rosewater -
ter refused the challenge when it was
last given , Any one who has read
Tut : BEE knows that the challenge
was promptly accepted. But as soon
as the editor of THE BKK expressed
his willingness to meet the question ,
Val'e clerk declined to be considered
as a champion of the railroads , or to
speak for any one but himself in the
diecusbion which ho sought. As the
editor of THE BEK is not ac
customed to fight windmills , ho
promptly declined to furnish gratuitous
advertising and cpaco in his paper tea
a would-be antagonist who represent
ed no ono and nothing. Such a dis
cussion would have been profitless. If
the Republican wants to post its read
ers on the railroad side of the ques
tion it will have ample opportunity to
do so during the coming campaign. It
is sustained on corporation pap for
just this purpose and in doing so it
will only bo carrying out the wishes
of its Union Pacific masters , It can
not , however , use the circulation of
THK BEK for a contest on conditions
which would make any discussion n
mere waste of time and paper.
THE effect of the Iowa prohibition
amendment according to the report of
a committee of prohibitionists is not
entirely satisfactory. The best legal
authorities declare that the amend
ment is practically inoperative , and
will remain so until supplemented by
further legislation. The Kansas City
Journal says that the prohibitory law
does away with the license system , but
the report concedes that it does not
prevent the manufacture and sale of
wino and beer made from fruits grown
within the state. The reason for this
ia that these drinks were not included
in the provisions of any law upon the
statute book at the time of the passage
of the amendment , and that the latter
cannot enlarge the scope of any exist
ing statute. Therefore it is afllrmcd
that the statute , which did not declare
the manufacture and sale of beer and
wino from native fruit a crime , re
mains in force until repealed by
the same body which declared
it. The effect of this decision , ac
knowledged by the prohibitionists
themselves , is to render the amend
ment a nullity for the present. Iowa
breweries can go on making Iowa beer
from Iowa barley , and Iowa whisky
may bo distilled from Iowa corn , and
people may drink them both with impunity
'
punity , so far as the law is concerned.
The amendment Is only a sort of pro
tective arrangement , by which manu
facturers are obliged to purchase their
raw material within the state , llonco
the anxiety that the governor shall
call an extra session to complete the
prohibition and provide penalties.
Meantime the traflic is practically as
unrestricted as ever , and will remain
BO until further action by the execu
tive and the legislature.
A conuESPONunNT of the St. Louis
Louis llcjmblican has boon interview
ing G.'orgo Francis Train , who for
eifiht ytara hats been sitting in Madi
son Square philosophizing on men and
things. lie eaid to him :
"Train , why do you sit hero all the
time ? The world is passing on and
you are making no uoiso in it. No
ono cares for you , and all pass you by ,
save now and then an old friend stops
to greet you. " Uo replied , laconically :
"I was once in the world before the
public The world did not under
stand mo then 1 llow can they now ?
Ilad I needed money would I have
L'ivon away half of Omaha ! "
Were the history of Train's ' life ever
written ; by a man who know the cense-
less activity of his brain and the
various conflicting motions and events
which have troubled its course , the
story wouM road more like a romance
than a recital of facts from real life.
the result of the Star
route trials , the good wrought by MrJ
Jameu' reform management of the
postal service , la likely to bo enduring.
The poatoflico department is at last
self-sustaining , and no administration
will hereafter lot it sink back into de
ficit. There is no reason why with
honest management it should not pay
its way. As business increases the
task will become easier. For the fis
cal year ending Juno 1882 , the re
ceipts'were § 10,000,000. Next year
will doubtless witness the addition of
at least § 5,000,000 to this sum , while
the cost cannot of course increase in
anything like the same ratio. Unless
another attack of hard times comes op ,
the pgstoflice department ought by
another year to bo strong enough to
take up the question of cheaper pos
tage. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
WiiEtf every other resort of language
fails the democratic politician in con
vention assembled falls back upon
Thomas Jefferson and the famous Jef-
fossonian principles which ho was sup
posed to have invented and whose
possession lies exclusively within the
democratic paiiy. Thus Mr. ilugh
G. Thompson in accepting the nomi
nation for governor of South Carolina
said that ho felt confident that the
platform would "contain the original
principles of that old Jefl'orsonian
democracy upon which the main
tenance of free institutions in this
country depends. " Just exactly how
those time honored principles ought to
bo applied to tissue ballots and south
ern redistricting wore subjects upon
which Mr , Thompson throw no light.

questions which he had declined to

The report was referred to the house

member of the house of representa
tives and it has no jurisdiction over
any supposed conduct of his , so it
would seem the demand for the Ship-
herd uapers douoncratea into an in
quiry into the private affairs of citi
