The arbitrary exclusion of American hog products from Germany and Franco call for prompt and decisive action on the part of congress. President Arthur has suggested the propriety of retaliation against thoao countries which discrimi nate against the United States , and hone no doubt will cheerfully carry out any measure which congress may deem advis able. There urn many commodities which Americans impoit from Germany and Franco that could conveniently bo dispensed with , and it will bo just nnd proper that congress should pass an act forbidding their importation , It is not at all necessary for this country to seek a pretext for putting certain commodi ties on the list of forbidden importations. It would bo more manly to proclaim to the world , and especially to Germany and Franco , that wo are as able to got along without their products as they are with out ours. And in selecting that class of commodities to to excluded congress should not confine itself to those that are the least in use. It should strike at the products which Germany and Franco are most anxious to sell , nnd which heretofore hnvo boon entirely disposed of in the Ameri can market. Wo should not only ex clude their liquors nnd winos , but put nn embargo on their cloths , their carpoU , their toys , their jewelry , their musical instruments , their glassware and china. If the American millionaires are com pelled to have these luxuries lot them move to Germany r.nd Franco. With a stringent embargo on their products in a country that is their best customer , Ger many nnd Franco will soon bo brought to terms and bo glad enough to give the American hog the freedom of their mar kets. Meantime the Americans may learn how easy it is to dispense with for eign luxuries , and howmucheasioritisfor America to supply from her own soil and from her own factories every article that Americana oat , drink , wear , or other wise uso. JUDOK MtCliARY. Hon. George W. McCrary , whoso re signation from the judgoahip of the United States circuit court is causing so much surprise throughout the country , is a native of Indiana , having 'boon born at Evanavillo , in 1835. In 183G his parents moved to the then territory of Iowa , where Mr. McCrary has over since made his homo. After receiving n public school and academical education , ho entered upon the study of law , and in j 1830 ho was admitted to practice in lookuk. Ho at once began to take an active and prominent part in politics , and was elected to the Iowa state logis- aturo in 1857 , and in 1801 ho was sent o the state senate for four years. His next upward stop in the field of political toners was his election to congress in 18G8 from the Kookuk district. His : ourso in the national legislature was o eminently satisfactory to his conati- uonta , that they re-elected him throe imos. During the eight years that Mr. ilcCrary served in the halls of congress 10 luado a spotless record. Ho was one f the foremost in the handling and dis- osing of important matter * , and ho was ranked as ono of the loading congressmen of that tiino. Mr. McOrary , in conjtmc ion with Judge Lawrence , took a prominent nont part.against the land-grabbing rings and the Credit Mobilior systems. Ho was also a member of the electoral com mission in 1877 , and when President layos made up his cabinet ho appointed Hr. McCrary as attorney-general , nnd soon afterwards as secretary of war. Mr. HoOrary served two years as secretary of war , when ho was appointed United Stntca circuit judge for the eighth judicial district. In this position , ns in all other ilacoa of trust hold by him , ho has in variably discharged his duties in an hon est and fearless manner , and the people liavo regarded him as ono of the -most Qlliciont and impartial judges. TUB resignation of Judge McOrary , which has taken the country by nurpriao , is said to be hold in abeyance for a few days until certain business matters can bo arranged. A dispatch from Keokuk to the St. 1'aul Pioneer frcss statoaing that ho has resigned or is about to resign is unqoationably true , Coupled with the rumor which has gained circulation in St Paul , that Senator McMillan , of Minnesota seta , is about to resign hlsvseat in the United Senate to accept a judicial up pointmont , the report of Mr. McOrary'a resignation has tikon very tangible shape. Friends of Senator McMillan are authority for the statement that ho would gladly accept the judicial positioi made vacant , and wo proaumo that th syndicates who have a network of mil roads will not object to it. ItHooms vor slusulut4 that the Minnesota politician should hnro laid their plaiia fpr capturin Judge McCrary's position when nobod suspected that ho intended to roaigu , COKORUSSMAN KouiNsoij'H resolution o inquiry as to whether any America officials abroad are holding foreign titles lias proved a successful twister of th British lion's tail.

KJKBI * it before the people , that TH OMAHA BKK pays more nuwapnpor postag than > s paid by all other daily , weekly am monthly publications in Omaha com binod. This fact will bo borna out. by the postoflioo report for the last ilsoa quarter. It ia a straw which shows why busiuesj men pay more money to Ta Bws for advertising than they do to al Us local cotemporaries. FuosOFErt MEBJM , , of the Chicago Cribunc , in summing up the record of 10 old year , fools himself compelled to wlmit that thejwork of the Utah commis- ion has failed to disturb polygamy , iloaofor Modill omits to record , how < vor , that the commissioners nro still wifg their salary , $5,000 a year. In liis respect it has been as much of a UCCOBS as any other commission , LinsTocK nuswxsa. The growth ot the Chicago stockyards as been something marvellous during ! io last few year. The receipts of the Tnion stockyards for 18GG , the first year 10 yards wore in operation , wore 303,007 attlo , D01,7'W hogs , nnd L'07,087 sheep , vhilo in 1883 they wore 1,880,000 cattle , , GGO,000 hogs , nnd 700,127 sheep. During n period of seventeen years the nluatiun of the receipts increased from 42,705,3128 to 8202,000,000. The num. or of cattle handled in the Chicago mar- ot is moro than double that of any other larkot in the world , while the number f hogs is moro than twice that of the ombincd receipts of nny other two mar- eta in America. Thoao facts and figures are specially uggostivo to these of our capitalists who ave become interested in the South inaha stockyards , work upon which is bo begun early in the spring , The bovo statement shows the immense pos- ibilitics which may bo attained by stock- ards nt n favorable point. While it may o within the range of possibility it ia ot probable that the Omaha stockyards will over do a business anywhere near iat of Chicago , yet it is fair to assume iat our yards will within a few years bo iassod among the largest in the country , ) maha now is to Nebraska and the coun- ry beyond what Chicago was to Illinois net the great west when that city was 10 size of Omaha. When Chicago had population of 50,000 wo venture the aaortion , without having the facts and gurca at hand , that her live stock pros- octs were not any bettor than these of ) maha are to-day , and probably not as ood. This city is advantageously lo- atod to command a largo proportion of lie live stock business of the trans-Mis- ouri country. The vaat horda of cattle n Nebraska , Dakota , Wyoming , Idaho , Jtah and Montana are naturally tribu- ary to Omaha , provided wo have ample ccommodations nnd a market. The amo is true of the hogs and sheep in ! iis vast extent of territory. It is a nat ural law of trade that all this live stock rill seek the nearest markotothor things oing equal. Wo are to have the accom- nodationa , and it only romaina now to nako the market. The creation of a : iarkot rests in a great degree with the men who have interested themselves in lie stock-yards. They must not only invo a place to feed cattle , but they must iavo largo slaughter and packing houaca n connection with the yards. Such is .oubtless their intention , aud if they arry out their sohomo on a scale com mensurate with the resources of this re gion , Omaha will in a few years become no of the largest live stock centers in America. TRAM'S IfW PAPEll. Among the startling events of the now ear is the announcement that George Francis Train propoaos to re-enter the arena of popular discussion.

JIoxv I'uullo Ijtind Is Stolen. hleigo Tribune. Senator Van Wyck , of Nebraska , raised n interesting discussion in the scnnto ho other day by offering a resolution of nquiry nbout the land grant laws. The Jnitcd States supreme ourt , which 1ms eon the supreme judicial authority of his country until within n few yoara , rhon the great corporations liavo taken o construing the laws for themselves by lie help of various departmental officers , lecidcd in 1875 that when congress gave railroad company every other section of ; overnmout land for a certain distance rom its tracks it gave only the land the Jnitod States was the owner of , This was the Loavenworth , Lawrence it Gal- eston railroad case , nnd in conformity rith the decision of the land office re- oraod its practice. It had boon till then n the habit of ruling that a railroad ompany was entitled to all the land rithin the limits of grant or to indein- ity for such of it ns had boon given o others , such as Indians , no matter if lie government had disposed of it bc- ere the date of the grant. After this ocision indemnity wns allowed only for uch lands as was given nwav or diapescd f by the government after it had made lie grant and before the railroad located , s hue. This decision of the supreme court con- inuod to govprn the action of the intor- or department until in 1880 , under the dminUtration of Secretary Schurz , and1 n his application Attorney-General Dov- ns rendered nn opinion contradicting the upromo court. On this the interior de triment reversed its action and returned o its first rule , which , it is unnecessary o say , was very much moro favorable to lie roads. It gave them indemnity for lie loss of largo tracts of land , which , ac- ordinf * to the supreme court , had never con given to them , nnd for which they wore consequently not entitled to nny in demnity. Sonntor Van Wyck's resolution 'wanted to know" how much land had icon lost to the settlers of the country indcr this lulling , and what were the ; amos of the corporations that had got lie land , and it further inquired of the ccrotnry of the interior "Whether the rdor of his predecessor ( Schurz ) direct- ng the commissioner of the general land- flico to bo governed by the opinion of be attorney-general and the alleged do- ision of the United States circuit court or the district of Wiaconain rather than iy the decision of the supreme court of bo United States , ia still in force in his lopartmont ? " Senator Ingnlls , of Kansas , who , it will 10 remembered , is moat kindly mention- d by Mr. Huntington in his letters , as > no of the friends on whom the subsidy ailroad robbers can always rely in con- 38 , was on his feet in an instant pb- ecting to the passage of the resolution fibred by Senator Van Wyck. In the picy debate that followed it was observ able that such faint demonstrations as one > f the Iowa sonetors made were on the ailroad senator's aide. Senator Ingalls- loniod that the decision of the supreme ourt had the meaning Senator Van tVyck tavo it. But ho had an opponent wh < ? was too thoroughly versed in the acts of the caao and too ready in debate , o bo bluffed off by any such corporation- awyor tactics. It was only necessary to mint out , as Mr. Van Wyck did , that the and office reversed its action the moment ho decision was announced , and that fudge Field , who , in behalf of the sub sidy corporations , dissented from the opinion of the majority , put his disaent on the very point in question , "very nat urally oxprcsaing his grief that the rail- oad company should suffer to the cx- iont of losing land to which the majority of the court said they'arero not onti tied. " Senator Van Wyck maio some telling tits. The reference of the question to ; ho attorney general was , ho said , the avorito way of disposting of such mat- ; ors. "Wo have the supreme court fol- owed when it is convenient to do so , and when that will not exactly moot the case , ? or the departments , it is convenient to iavo nn attorney general to reverse the supreme court. When Secretary Schurz referred the matter to Attorney General Dovons , he said the decision of the supreme court , which had been followed for three years , "seemed to hold , " and so forth. And General Devona described the decision "remarks made in " " " as that case. "That , saya the senator , "is a very pleasant way for an attorney general to speak of n de cision of the supreme court 'the re- narks made in that case. No Dody but an Attorney General coming from the corporation-ridden state of Massachusetts perhaps would have dared to say a thing of that kind. " Ono of Dovons' reasons for his opinion ndvorao to the decision of the supreme court woa that Justice Harlan had in the circuit court of Wisconsin four years later taken a different position. In other words , the attorney-general puta the decision of a circuit court above that of the supreme court , and on his opinion the interior de partment makes a change in its rulings by which millions of ncres nro given U the railroad cormorants to which they hac no right whatever in law. The language in which Senator Van Wyck closed his remarks in favor of his resolution was none too atrong. Ho said ; 1 do not know whether the gentleman ( Allison ) munna to concede that Justice Harlan had a right to overrule the supreme court , or whether he moans by his question that Justice Harlan did no understand what the supreme court hat decided , or differed with it. Strange things nro taking place as well in the supreme court us in the land departmon in regard this matter of land grants. I think my friend from Iowa will concede that very strange and mysterious doings in the supreme court nnd the circuit courts and in the land department of this government have taken place. I think my friend has abundant evidence in his own state that such is the fact. He knows it by the suflorings of his own poo- pip from the administration of the Uw ol railroad grants , nnd by the decisions of courts. He knows that in his own state some of Jus own people have suffered to the deprivation of their property , and sotno of them to the deprivation of their reason because of the treatment nccordud to them. The supreme court in 1875 made a decision apparently in the inter ests of the people , nud when that had been done this department pets to work to i nero it , | to defy it , and then when that fnct ia stated hero a fact directly within our-ncknowlodgo tliengcntlumon seek to get beside it aa the department has done , and to make excuses for these companies getting millions of acres to which they are not entitled under this decision of the supreme court.
