OMAHA merchants are beginning to discover that advertising pays. That discovery was made some years ago in other cities and it haa lost none of ita force by tlmo.

Wo have had a cold and damp sprjng , but for all that the crop prospects are excel lent throughout the state and plant ing has boon finished nearly as early as usual. Oar corn la pretty well In and a week of warm weather will bring It well above the ground and nave re planting. Two yoara ago corn was planted as late aa the 10th of Juno and last years' floods and rain failed to interfere with a magnificent crop in the fall. THE adjutant general telegraphs from Washington , under date of May 18th , that General Orook had 250 Apache scouts and fifty cavalrymen with him when ho started on his ex pedition. As thla Information waa printed In the newspapers more than two weeks ago , the matter la im portant only aa showing the rapidity with which "official news" travels to Washington from army departments. The press beats red tape nine J out of ten. REPUBLICANS in Pennsylvania are betting that Blalno will have throo- fourth * of the delegates of that atatc In the next national convention. Jas. G. Blalno la not an angel by any means , but the republican party might easily nominate a worse standard bear * or , Ho would shoulder more votoa Ihan some other candidates who might bo named , in spite of the Mulligan letters , which scorn to agitate demo- crata whenever Mr. Blalne'a name It mentioned In political conventions. James G. Blalno haa done good wort for hla party , and that la one reason why hla party la not likely to fcrgel him. Still , for all that , Mr. Blalno will not bo nominated. ? GENERAL BADEAU , who haa boor 5 holding consular appointments atoadl i- ly since 18C9 , is very Indignant because cause Judge Ferris , of Washington , . decides that ho cannot draw pay as s J. retired officer In the army. An aol > „ of congress of some yean * standin ; provided that officers on the retiree list who accept civil office should bi deemed by that act to have reslgnoc their commissions , and under thli provision General Badeau waa aevera years ago decided by the attorne ; general to bo out of the army. Undo a subsequent not , which Auditor Fei rla holds cannot apply to officers wh had loft the army , Badoau'a name wo restored to the rolls by the socroUr of war. General Badeau la now on in the cold , cold civil world , and mui satisfy himself with drawing his con snlar pay' without any putslde perqn ! ItM. RUNNING DOWN GRANT. There la a tendency on the part of the democratic press to make a seri ous matter out of General Grant's de feat for the presidency of the Army of the Potomac. The Now York Star says that "tho general's name has ceased to have macjo In It oven for the army , " and adds that Grant "had hia Waterloo at Ohlcago In 1880 , and slnco then that everything that ho haa said and done In public haa dropped him to a lower and i lower nlcho in the osuntry's regard. " This is the rankest kind of partisanship. Gen eral Grant was not a candi date before the Army of the Potftraao mooting. His name was offered without his knowledge or consent and was placed in nomination after General Newton's canvass had practically decided the conical. There was no issue as between General - oral Grant and any other soldier , and it is unfair to use the incident aa the test of his popularity In the army or anywhere olso. loneral Grant la more popular to day than ho was when ho loft the presidency. No man has suffered moro from evil advisors and foolish friends , but few great men could nave suffered loss. Entirely asldu from unpleasant political recollections whioh will wear off with the ad vance of tlmo , the position of General Grant In the country's regard la aa secure as it over was. "All the voluminous histories of the rebellion that have been written since the war , have failed to obscure his fame or smlioh hla record aa the first steadily successful general of the nnlon armies. As president ho made many mistakes , but they wore the mistakes natural to a soldier whoso first ox- porlonco In civil commind was gained as the chief executive of a nation In a very "trying tlmo of her r.ffiirs. For the defeat of the Ohlcago convention the general cm blame advisors who ought to have known bolter , and whom the country and their party have hold responsible for grave political blunder. But it will take something moro than honest errors of judgment to lower the estimation In dhlch the American people hold Ulysses 8. Grant as a man , aa a soldier , as a very orodltablo national representative abroad and ai a private cltlrjn whenever never talks except when ho has some thing to say and whoso views upon topics of current Interest , social or political , qro always characterized by sound hotao aonso. SOME of thCso days the ramshackle old building which ii called by oonr tosy the Olty Hall , will fall to pieces of old ago and weakness In the joints. If half a dozun conncllmcn happen to bo holding n committee mooting In it at the tlmo the public may bo aroused to the fact that wo need anew Olty Hall. Since Mr. Snydor'a tall tower mar ket honso proposition fell through , wo have not heard much of the neces sity of a now and fire proof building for our city officials , but the need growa moro apparent every day. In the first place , the city records are not safe in the tinder box which now doea duty as a Olty Hall. In the second plaoo , there la not half room enough to accommodate the city officials and the city Is forced to pay out several bun- dreds of dollars a year for routing offi ces for the treasurer and city engin eer. It was a great mistake that the county court honso and the city hall were not joined In a single building on upper Farnham street. ' We should then have had a structure of which Omaha might have been in every way proud , on a site whioh cannot be ex celled , and which is roomy enough for all city and county purposes. Per haps at this , late date another story might bo added to the county court house and with the additional rooms In the basement sufficient conveniences could bo secured for housing the city officials. There are some of our citi zens who think such a plan feoaablo and some architects who claim that twenty foot added to the height of the county court house would improve its appearance , Hian license has become all the rage. It will therefore bo In order for the city council to ralso the clront license to $500. Council Bluffs ozaoti $300 from every circus , and still thoj don't give her the go-by. But If thej should decide to slight Omaha II would bo capital punishment , as the school boy said when the teacher or dered him to take a seat among the TOWN .TALK. "Whore Is Barnum now with hit greatest show on earth" laughed Bill Oody , Sunday afternoon after asking the crowd up to drink for the fiftieth tlmo at a popular bar , "I'll coma back to Nebraska next fall with raj celebrated Deadwood stage coach chuck full of dollars. I toll yon the "Wild West" Is bound to take east , It is a genuine Niagara of noveltlei all lariated from Nebraska and corn ploto In every particular , " "Not quit * completo"ohlppod in the Hon.

Dr. Goorgi L , Miller in his great ground1 ani lofty tumbling act would take Ilka wtldfiro , Nothing like It has over boon soon In the eastern editorial circles. Then for Instance , our 'old friend "Hanso" In his favorlto charac ter of a western public spirited citizen would bo rather apt to create a sensa tion. " "I don't know who stays at the dis tillery , " said an officorholder from that establishment as ho loaned against the postoffioo and meditatively whittled a match with his jack-knife. There are four guagors and four store keepers drawing f 6 a day tapleco while they work and three now mon for each of the two grades ore said to have boon already appointed by the department. That loaves one guagor and ono store keeper undisturbed , but no ono knows who the lucky ones are. "Balky" would like to balk In his old position but the chancel ara that ho will bo forced to devote his attention to Im proving Sixteenth street. J. H Lacey wants to stay but the chances are against It. Our civil service re form rules must have full scope at the start and the bacis Is a clear field and no favors to any but political friends , " "Yes , " chipped in a South Platte politician , "but place the blame whore It belongs. " Our delegation Is not united on the policy of wholesale re movals. Senator Y n Wyck has had no part in the recent executions. Ho has Insisted as ho now Insists that all federal office holders shall eerve out their terms , and that removals shall only bo made for cause. Thla la the open policy of the departments and the aonator proposes to hold them to It. The facts of the case are rather inter esting , Juat at the closing days of engross all the newly elected mem- iors of the delegation flocked to Wash ington ovorfbirlng with civil service oform and ravonoui for patronage. They demanded a general change In Nebraska office holders , and finding VauWyok opposed hold a mooting Ithont him In which they dotormlned o sk now appointments In the cases f Surveyor-General Smith and Judge Oronnso , Smltn happened to bo In Washington and was apprised at nee , but In spite of VanWyck's re monstrance , Orounso was summarily bounced before ho had time hand In his resignation. The senator then and there nformed the delegation that ho should not oppose official changes against ihcir wish where terras had expired , nt ho should protest against and ho ihould oppjso removals during official cnnro except for well ascertained anso. That's Van Wyck's position. " "So you've been there , have you ? " .aid . a Lincoln office-holder. "I won der whether Lambortson knows that a strong cllort was made to secure a acancy In hla oiliso just after ho had boon confirmed. That's a fact. When Manderaon and Lilrd and Weaver put n their first appotranco at Washing- on they wuntod the moon. Our civil lorvlco reforming aonator openly said hat as ho was responsible for the ofil- eaa ho proposed to have them dealt out to suit him , or words to that effect. The district attoruoyship was a good ilnm , and It made them sick to see It ; o to payoff Saundera'political scores. The question was actually discussed how Lambortson could bo disposed of , but common decency and "civil ser vice reform" united to prevent his re moval within a few weeks after hia confirmation. " "Major Nlckorson seems to have got It In the nook at last , " remarked a government clerk , on Saturday. All the sympathies of those who know the family will be with Mrs. Nick- erson. She was an Intelligent , refined and cultivated lady , who bore remark ably with the Major's eccentricities , Nlckerson waa an Inveterate gamester , and would sacrifice everything for his love of play. Ho was Crook's aide for a number of years , and removed from Omaha to Washington upon securing an adjutant generalship and his ma jority. Mrs.Nlokorson wont abroad three years ago to visit a sister In Paris , and there she has been forced to remain over since until a few weeks ago she received a telegram that her husband had married a young Baltimore girl juat out of her teens , having previously secured a divorce on the ground of abandonment , Mra , Hlokenon No , 2 , for the Major has boon married throe times , haa returned to this country , borrowing money to pay for her passage , and has applied for an opening of the decree of dlvorc ? , This places Mra. Nlckorson No , 3 In an auomaloua position , and may yet makothooallons-hearted major squirm , as there Is already talk of an arm ; conrtmartial , Ntokorson is on the retired > tired list. Ho carries a dozen bullote in hla body , and only half a heart , " "We are to have quite a Enropoat exodus from Omaha thla summer , ' drawled out ono of our swell dudes at ho carelessly adjusted his bang will the top of a silver mounted cane and gazed listlessly at his alligator toppec shoos. 8. 8 , Oaldwoll and family , John McOormlok and family and Mr , Fred Mlllard , have already made ar rangemonta to sail next month and ] hour of several moro who will folio * suit. By the way old fellah , isn't it Ime for Charley Dewey to be making another trip somewhere. Ho Is in th < furnltnro business and perhaps ' thai accounts for it always being moving day with him. " "Tho roads were in a bad condition on Thursday night , " said a gentleman who is never to happy as when danc ing , "but that didn't prevent a largo attendance at the party given by Mr. and Mrs. Herman Konntzo at their beautiful homo in South Omaha. There must have boon fully ono hun dred and fifty present to enjoy the hospitalities of what is perhaps the most elegantly and tastefully fur nished rofldonco in this city. It would pay some of yon newspaper monte to wrlto up the Konntza honso , which has just been completely refurnished and redecorated. Among the art treasures Is a beautiful piece of tapes try by Lo Broil , made In the 17th cen tury for Louis Quatorzo , repre senting a battle scene in the Ufa of Alexander the Groat. Thla banes In the front parlor occupy ing nearly one-half of the east wall from floor to celling and waa procured by Mr. Luther Konntza of Now York during one of his trips to Europe. In a lovely little room jest off from the main entrance hangs a painting by Sir Benjamin West , which In subject , rawing and color ia In every way iharacterlstlo of the earliest American rtlst of distinction. The mlrrows , nterlor wood work and wall decora- Ions are elegant , tasteful and Harmon OUB and more than all the honso wears ho appearance of a homo and not of a mere picture gallery. Dancing on the lanvoss enclosed porch to the music 1 Hoffman's orchestra and a delicious and tastefully served supper closed a most delightful evening. " Don't Laugh Too Soon. > chujrler Sun. TIIE OMAIIA BEE Bays that General Thayer has been offered a mall ronto lontingent upon his ability to procure nifiolont endorsement as to his onndnesa as a republican. General Tbayer don't noud a mall route ; neither does his republicanism re quire any endorsement , and the Im maculate politicians who are incllund o ameae themselves at his expense hould boar in mind that the doughty old general Is still In the ring. Had General Thayer listened to the Impor- unities of friends during the prelimi nary campaign last fall , there is every reason to believe ho would have been elected to congress from this district. Ho was the man who could have united the republican party of the Third district ; his candidacy would have saved the local organizations , jlvon us a majority member of con gress and preserved the Integrity of he party. Bat the old gentleman Istonod to the volco of the siren ; he was beguiled Into the belief that he was the preferred candidate for sen ator of every Valentine striker In ho district and ho could almost feel he sensation of Saundor's senatorial ihoes adjusting themselves to his poll leal bunions. But General Thayer doubtless sees his mistake now and 10 do most of the republicans of the district. When a republican district with a clear majority of 10,000 re- lords a majority of 0,000 against \ party candidate most any one can see a mistake. Banqueting the Census Forger. o'k County Farmers' Advocate. Dr. Sohwenk , of "additional con gressman and false census returns" notoriety , and who was branded by ho last congress as ono of the princi pals In that Infamous scheme , has just been honored by his party friends and admirers by a grand banquet. The Norfolk Journal speaks of it and the "toasts" to him , etc. If ho had boon caught trying to steal chickens , ho would have been disgraced ; but the shrewdness with which he managec this case , to help the rlngstera out , by shouldering the largest part of the rascality , haa been of great value to him , and proves him worthy of the confidence the party managers had re posed In him , and clearly demonstratec that ho was the "right man In the right place , " and capable of filling any position of honor and trust. A Doubtful Compliment. Schuyler San. The Omaha Republican says tha Senator Manderson Is the only recently cently elected western senator who haa not moro wlvea than the law allows , Mra. Manderain Is to bo congratulated on her possession of an entire senator. A Business Man's Opinion. PUttiburK ( Uo ) Lever. Ex-Mayor Bnllone of Kansas Olty was recently In St. Joseph , and was Interviewed by the Herald. Mr. Bnllono Is the head of the great drj goods hdnso of Bullene , Moores & Emery , whose advertisements appear regularly In the Lover. He Bald , li reply to a question , that he attribute ! the success of his firm "to good times and extensive advertising. Advor Using , " ho aald , "waa necessary to se euro trade. " His firm expended $10 , 000 last year for advertising , am would expend between $12,000 am $15,000 thla year for the same pur pose. This , he said , was for news paper advertising alone. He also added : "Tho newspaper Is the only prope medium for a live merchant to employ 1 wouldn't glvo a cent a bushel fo circulars , dodgers and sign boards When you find a merchsnt trying to do business without advertising In th newspapers , you can make up yon mind ho la not anxious for customers The people read the newspapers now- a-daya. Why , air , to show you th vulno of advertising , lot mo tell you wo npcnt a round num lor a full page of the St. Louis Globe Democrat am Republican , and we were astonlshoi at the results. People thought w were crezy to advertise In St. Louis but wo secured customers from 1111 nols , Iowa , Missouri and Kansas tba could be traced directly to these ad vertlsemonta. " "You Advertise regularly ; thla Is constantly ? " cold the reporter. 1 'Yea , sir 1 0 ar contracts are for si months and a year. The 'dull season li the very time wo advertise , i Pee pie are always ready * for a bargain you know. Oar policy Is to put ai much money into newspaper advertls Ing as Into store expenses that is ont and light. All the successful norchants of to-day ewe their success to legitimate newspaper advertising. " Tno'Plpo-LIno Fight. ; . Louti Republican , The Standard Oil company might as well buy out the other pipe lines and effect a consolidation now as to wait onger and havn to pay a larger price. " "ho corporation gained Us pro-oral- once through securing tranaporta- ion advantages from which all Its would-be competitors were shut out. iVlth ita powerful hand on all the hannels of communication between ho oil regions and the seaboard , It ad everything its own way for a long Ime , and made its stockholders ouor- mously rich. But the pipe line bus- ! > OSB troubles 11. If it can not keep thor corporations from Invading the orrltory It considers Its own with their Ipes , the conditions of ordinary com- etltion are upon It. And this Is hor- Iblo for a Standard Oil man to con- emplatu. it wantn control of all the pipes an well oo all the railroads. Therefore , It la alleged , It has pur- based land , and the exclusive right rom the owners to lay pipes In other and wherein p'pos ' owned by other lartua shall not bo permitted to pone- rate. It can bo seen that by pur- hosing a strip six inches wide around he oil territory , or any portion of it , t could exclude every competitor. It IUB , it seems , adopted this policy and hut off other pipe lines out from a argo amount of valuable territory. Tor this reason there la a bill pending 'loforo the Pennsylvania legislature jiving plpo line companiea the right } f emlnnnt domain wherever they want to go. Should the bill pass , the Itandard Oil cake would bo mostly ough , and It would then have to buy up Its rivals , just as the Western Jnlon Telegraph company , after fighting the new telegraph ompanles at every point and being iveroome , buys them up to retain the monopoly. There IB , of course , a imlt to this kind of business , for ta eng as corporations charge rates for ervlco which will pay largo dividends 30 their watered stock , they tempt ompetltion , and rivals will spring up who can perform the service for what t IB worth. The only way to escape his Is to keep charges down to where ho profits are not BO tempting , and hla ia what the Standard Oil company will eventually have to do , or go out f business. But in the meantime it an afford to buy ont quite a number f now organizations It may succeed In defeating the > lpe-llne bill in the legislature this imo , but some such measure can not eng stay defeated. The motives ani mating the opposition are too trans parent for that. The argument that t has pulvatoly purchased the right 1 way for Its own lines , and that Ihor companiea should bo made to do he same , will not go down , under he circumstances. It is a fortunate hlng for the Standard Oil company hat ccal oil Is an easily procured and cheap commodity. If Its price were ' ilgh enough to seem oppressive , the erformances It has gone through In he monopoly line would have attract- d a very uncomfortable amount of at- entlon to It. THE MAGIC CITY.
