the boss fraud will skip through the

RF.D CLOUD was placed under arrest
by orders from the Interior depart
ment , and affairs are once nioro quiet
at Pine Ilidgo. The civil authorities
have proved their ability to manage
matters if backed by an tigent of cool

county are attached to the South

Douglas county will bo asked to como
forward and help Church Howe to go
to congress as our representative.
IT in beneath the dignity of gentle

this reason wo doom it improper to
respond to the open letter of Valen

if justice were done would bo now oc

trifling crimes as arson and embezzle

MR. JAMES ACCEPTS-
Mr. James has decided to accop
the position of superintendent of ou
public schools , This is good nowsfo
Omahn. The advent of Mr , .lame
will inaugurate a now era in the management
agoment of our public schools. Mr
J.itncfys eminently qualified for tin
responsible position to which ho ha
been elected. lie is a practical cdu
cater who has made n reputation in i
city whoso public schools are rccoe
nixed as a model in this country
During moro than fifteen years Mr ,
James has kept abreast of the latosi
educational progress , and he
thoroughly understands the problem )
which confront American educators ,
Omahn will nfiord an excellent field
for the talents of a man like Mr ,
lames. The metropolis of Nobroskn
is ambitious to rank with the bcal
cities of the Union as an educational
center. Our public school building !
arc commodious , and our high school
buildinu will match in beauty and con
venience thosa of the larger cities
in the cast. Our people arc
inclined to bo remarkably liberal in
all matters pertaining to public odu <
cation. The short comings of oui
public schools have arisen chiefly
from dofooUvo supervision of the sys
tem. Wo have needed a vigorous and
experienced administration. The
efficiency of our schools has boon seri
ously impaired because wo have novot
had a supervising head whoso ex
ecutive ability and progressive cul
ture inspired confidence. Mr. James
wo believe will fill that bill. Ho it
master of his profession. Our teach
ers will cheerfully submit to his super
vision , and the patrons of our public
schools will second his efforts in any
reform ho may ace fit to inaugurate.
President Long and Secretary Con-
noyor of the board of education ,
through whoso oflbrto the services of
Mr. James were secured , aio entitled
to the thanks of the community.
WHAT sort of a republican central
committee have wo inDo'.iglao county ?
Here wo are within less than twenty
days of the congreeBional convention
and the committee has not even yet
jccn called. Is the republican party
n Douglas county in Isaac Ilascall's
capacious pocket ? Uavotho _ U. P.
) osscs muzzled the committee that it
cannot assort itself and call for the
irimatida and fix a day for the con
vention. Is Douglas county to bo do-
Ivored to Church Ho wo according
, o the contract made with Thuratoii ?
Every county in this state
ms fixed a day for primariou and con
ventions. Lancaster and Ncinalm
coantipH in this district havo' 'already
icld their conventions and elected del
egates. All the other counties have
given notice to the voters. Douglas
Bounty seems , however , to bo the ex
ception. If the call is hold off much
ongor the whole proceeding will bo-
omo a bigger farce than the Lincoln
county primaries which were hold on
the Btuno day on which the North
Platte paper first published the call.
CHICAGO grain dealers complain that
awing to the advance in railroad rates
rom Missouri river points , very little
Train is coining eastward , but io taking
ho cheaper barge line route to the
oa from Missouri and Kansas. This
nay bo rough on Chicago grain deal-
srs , but it is the very thing which our
armors have long deairud to BOO. Com-
) lotion of the river route is certain in
, ho end to bring down the exorbitant
actions of the railroads and inoroaso
ho value of the produce transported
it cheaper rates by the barge lines to
, ho sea coast. The water route is
ho natural highway down which
the crops of the great Mississippi
> asin ought to find their way to tide
water. It is the only highway which
cannot bo monopolized by any ono
utorost or combination of interests.
This is the reason why in all the
eastern opposition to the Jumbo river
Mid harbor steal our great western
rivers have boon expressly oxcoptcd
rom the universal condemnation
which has greeted the passage of that
noasuro over the presidential veto ,
[ n the improvement and use of our
; roat internal waterways both cast
and west will reap the benefits
of cheaper food and higher
irlccs for farm commodities.
Both producer and consumer will bo
relieved from the arbitrary and exor
bitant freight tariff * which are now
mposod upon them by the monopolies ,
and which cut both ways in diminish-
tig the value of grain at the farm and
increasing its cost at the market.
And this is why the policy of the rail
roads in suddenly advancing their
{ rain rates in the face of a heavy har
vest is short sighted in that it utimu-
lates a competitor who cannot bo
bought or pooled and whoso transpor
tation facilities are always open for
Lho use of the people ,
TUB bill authorizing the const ruc
tion of a waion bridge across the Mis-
sour ! river , between Omaha and Coun
cil Bluffa , is peacefully Bleeping in the
pigeon holes of the committco on com
merce at Washington. It was intro
duced on the 1st of May , road twice ,
referred and ordered printed , and
then quietly shelved for the session.
This measure , endowed by the board
of trade of both cities und containing
in the list of incorporators many of
the most prominent merchants of
Omaha and Couucil Bluffs , was fath
ered by Congressman Hepburn ,
of Iowa. E. K. Valentino , whosi
constituents wore at least as deeply interested
terostod as the so of Mr. Hepburn ,
seems to have been in blissful ignorance
ranco of the measure. The rccorc
fails to show that ho spoke in its favoi
or acted in its behalf , while it is j
well known fact that off the floor 01
congress ho steadily refused to use hit
afforts to push it through to n speed ]
passage. Mr. Valontlno'o interests ir
this case , as usual , lay in an
other direction from thoto ol
his constituents. The opposition
of ; the Union Pacific to any scheme
which would interfere with thoii
bridge monopoly at this point was well
known to the representative whom
they had elected and who has proved
their pliant tool in the house of rep
resentatives. And this is why Val
couldn't bring himself to taka much
interest in the wagon bridge bill ,
which is accumulating dust in the
room of the committco on congress ,
waiting for the resurrection trump
of the next session.
SIR GARNET'S FLAN.
Captious critics , who are more pro
ficient at planning campaigns on papct
than following them in the field , have
boon very profuse during the last two
weeks in condemning the conduct ol
the English operations in Egypt.
They have objected that the delay in
taking advantage of the success in
Front of Alexandria was n serious mili
tary mistake , and that the landing ol
lioavy troops in the fnco of a rapidly
moving fee was a stupid blunder.
Their criticisms were reinforced by
Iho fact that the great majority of
the troops sent from Mediterranean
and European garrisons wera cooped
up in tronsporta off the Egyptian const
apparently waiting for something to
turn up which required their pres
ence.

Brilliant achievement in the capture
of the Suez canal and the securing of
a base of operations directly in the
rear of Arabi and hia forces. At the
moment when the army under General
Wolsoley were occupying Port Said
and lumailn , the Indian contingents
of 7,000 men with horses , camels and
artillery seized Suez and completed
ho chain of communication with the
tfoditorranoan. Arabi is now en
closed on two sides by the English
army. The brigade of tuarda ? and
icavy troops lie * } in hia front before
Alexandria under cover of the guns in
Aboukir bay , while at hia rear , from
, 'ort Said to Suez , the main forces of
ho British prevent any further ad
vance toward the cast. Within ten
days march of Ismaila a junction rf
Sir Garnet Wolsoloy'a command with
ho Indian contingent would command
the railroad uniting Suez and Ptvris
on the south , and Alexandria on the
lorth. Such a movement would of-
or to the Egyptian commander the
option of fighting with the enemy in
ho front and rear or flying couthweat-
orly to the desert. This scorns to bo
Sir Garnet's plan of campaign and it
ias opened very auspiciously for the
Jaglish army. It is now plain why
, ho heavy troops which would be cum-
boraoma in rapid operations were
> laced at Alexandria to protect the city
and hold Arabi'a front in check. It
s equally plain why the troops who
were needed at Port Said were kept ou
.ho ( 'transports , within easy starting
liatanoo of the canal , and it needs no
explanation to show why the British
commander delayed his move until his
'ndian auxiliaries were at the head of
ho lied Sea ready to hold against all

SKNATOU VAN WYOK'S fight againHt
the surveying scrip frauds has berne
good fruit in a circular issued by the
general land oflico relating to the do-
> osit of money for curvoya by people
loairing lands or certificates. This
circular will contract the business to a
comparatively narrow ecalo , and will
estrict the location of lands with the
certificates to the district in which the
urvor is mado. Up to the present
imo n largo business has boon done
n the way of deposit for lands which
could not bo surveyed on account
of the limited appropriations
> ut which were surveyed upon receipt
of the funds. Parties making the do-
losit were given the right to aoloct the
surveyor doing the work. They were
not forced to locate the scrip in the
and actually surveyed , but could take
out certificates and locate on any of
ho public lands , oven if not within
ho Btuno territory as the plat for which
ho certificates were issued. The sys
tem worked chiefly for the direct ben
efit of surveyors , who were thus given
moro business than the appropriation
jy congress contemplated. Indeed ,
surveyors took out a largo share of
the certificates and did the work for
which they were paid. Heretofore
noney deposits for a survey In Mon
tana , for example , procured certificates
with -which land in Dakota could bo
nought , acre for aero. In the future
: heso cannot boused in the payment for
and outeido the limits of the land dis
trict in which the certificate Is made.
ft is estimated at the land ofllco that
the deposits will full off on this ac
count from about $1,800,000 a year to
§ 700,000 each year.
The deposit system which was devis
ed by a ring of land sharks aad swin-
lore , with a view of pocketing vast
sums for surveys of worthless lauds
is thus effectually broken up , Here
after the public surveys will only bi
made for legitimate purpases. An
other important feature of the amend'
ed act is the material reduction it
the fixoJ rate for public surveys Thi
profits from public surveys will ba EC
small that surveying rings can nc
longer flourish. And that will dc
away with a source of corruption thai
has done much to demoralize the pub'
lie service.
MVIIAT IlAL.iTP.AD , a veteran oditoi
who rarely tails to hit the nail on the
head when ho tackles any question ol

"denunciation of an editor as an 'as
eaesin of character' is generally in behalf
half of notorious corruptionists. The
whisky ring thieves and their able
lawyers and the high officials who belong <
long to them ; and the alar route
swindler , with their able editors anil
lawyers , and twaietntit officials and
comforters , are of the people who
whine about the assassination of char
acter. The characterless scoundrels
own so many newspapers and lawyers

the man most liable to assassination
of charactcrand subject to the dirtiest
torrents of Blander , is ho who is at

3m : A notice has appeared in the BKK ,

that delegates from the alliances und
enguoj will nominate a state ticket at

wish to make a statement to correct
.ho impression ,
The regular annual meeting of tlvc
itute alliance , composed of delegates
from alliances only , will bo hold at

and county conventions , and all men
vhether member * of allianeea and lea/j

TflE BAD AND WORTHLESS
Are never imitated or counterfeited
Thin 13 especially true of a familj
medicine , and it is positive proof tha
the remedy imitated is of the highcs
value. As soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world tha
Hop Bitters was the purest , best am
most valuable family mcdicino 01
earth , many imitations sprung up ant
began to steal the notices in which
the press and people of the countrj
had expressed the merits of H. B.
ftnd in every way trying to induce suf
fering invalids io use their stuff in
stead , expecting to make money on
the credit and good name of H. B.
Many others started nostrums put up
in similar style to H. B. , with vari
ously devised names inwhich the
word "Hop" or "Hops" were used in
a way to induce people to believe thoj
were the same as Hop Bitters. Al
such pretended remedies or cures , no
matter what their style or name ia
md espicially those with the wore
" " " " in their in
"Hop" or "Hops" name or
any way connected with them or their
iamo , are imitations or counterfeits.
Beware of them. Touch none oi
: hom. Dso nothing but genuine Hop
Bitters , with a bunch or cluster ol
green 'Hops on the white label. Trust
lathing olso. Drupcista and dealers
ire warned against dealing in imtta-
: iona or counterfeits.
