, THE present year is proving ono of the
most calamitous that has boon known fo
a eng time. If it keeps up 'its record
for a month or two longer , vro uhnll begin
gin to apprehend that a democratic president
idont may bo elected.
CHICAGO is to have a now opera house
patterned after the Now York Motropoli
tan. The Now York World thinks th
pattern a fortunate ono , as jt can bo usoc
as a grain elevator when they are no
giving entertainments.
GLADSTONE has boon guilty , says th
Now York Ximes , of the evasion of hi

a bill for the erection of a congrossiona

JODOB OUADXVICK , whoso sudden doat !
startled the community , was an exemplary

unexpected , has cast a gloom over th

GKSKJUL CHOCK , says the Now York
JTcrald , ia putting into practice hi
theory that even the Apache may b
made a good Indian , by sending fifty
members of the tribe
young to school a
Carlisle Barracks.
That Apaches can
and will work was proved last year by
the very largo quantity of grain an !
vegetable * raised in epito of defective ir
rigation , insufficient tools and diillculty
in obtaining need. They also made three
hundred tons of hay , cutting nil thn
grass with knives afeat novorporformot
by an equal number of white people. I
iliey prove as apt in school a they have
boon on the farm and the war-path they
will become , instead of nuisances and
border scourges , an invaluable class of

T1IK JlVStNKSS SITUA TlOIf.
Tlio morcAutilo situnlion of the country
oca not show any mfttcrinl chtxngo of
ate in ill lending foaturrfr. There is &
ontinuanco of the nccnmulntion of
money in the principal cities of the coun
ty. The Now York banks are said to
told over § 21,000,000 more than they
\ro required by law to hold ns reserve ,
ilost commodities nro hold at low prices ,
Mid this reduces the amount required tit
ransact a given amount of business to a
nuch loss sum than when values were
rom ton to twenty , fi vo per cent higher.
It now Booms probable that the bnl
anco of trade will bo ngatnst us the com
ng spring and summer. There is a largo
mrplus of whont to sell , but Europe also
lias a Iarg9 surplus , and if our foreign
customers do not want our wheat they
will not have it. There will probably bo
a very moderate foreign demand for our
breadstuff's and provisions the coming six
months. The surplus of cotton wliicl :
wo have raised will cerUinly bo wanted
in Europe , but wo have loft only
1,350,000 bales to send out during
the coining six months , till September ,
This will bo an average of a little over
200,000 bales per month , against an av
ragn -180,000 bales per month shippcc
since September , 1883. The dillbrenco
between $10 000,000 and $24,000,000 , it
the aggregate for the year on cotton ex
ccods the balance of trade in our favoi
last year.
The present is boyend doubt a goot
time , when business is struggling again3
adverse influences , to cut down th
amount which is drawn fram the poopl
in excess of what ia required by government
mont for its current expenses and to pro
vide for the fixed appropriations. It wil
greatly depend upon tin action of con
grcss in this matter whether the preson
tight times shall continue or whotho
the business of the country shall grndu
ally lottlo into a more normal condition
The business of the country docs no
seem to keep up to last year's volume
while an increase in the amount o
broadstuQs transported is soon , there
has been a decrease in th
amount of cotton , and probably in mcr
chandiso generally. The railroad earn
ings in January show a much smalle
relative business than last year. Will
an increase in mileage of 3,578 miles
the gross earnings on fifty-one lines o
road ahow a slight dcaroaso , as com
pared with January , 1883.
The indication to bo drawn from thoao
facts by business men is to go slow , tc
float with the tide until the indication
arc partially favorable.
JOUJf JI/101WS LEGS.
Queen Victoria ought to write jus
ono more book. The most intorostinj
passages from her volume are thos
which refer to John Brown. In regan
to John's accident , in which ho was injured
jurod about the legs , the queen says ;
"I was much distressed at breakfast t
find that poor Brown's logs had boon
dreadfully cut at the back of the knees
and ho'naid nothing about it. But to
day ono became so inflamed and swellei
so much that ho could hardly move. Th
doctor said ho must keep it up as muol
as possible and walk very little , but die
not forbid his going out with the car
nago. I did not go out in the morning.
The next day , October 12th , the quooi
writes :
' Brown's leg is muoh better. Th
doctor thought no could walk over hi ]
to-morrow.
The concluding page of the queen
book is devoted to the death of John
Brown , It contains those sentences :
"His loss to mo is irreparable , for h
deserved , ho posscWd , my confidence
Ho served mo truly , devotedly , unintor
ruptodly. To say ho is daily , hourlj
missed by mo , ono whoso life-long gratitude
tudo ho vron by constant care and uovo
tinnn , is but n feeble expression of th
truth. "
Itdroi not surprise us in the leas
that toi thousand copies of the first edi
tion wore sold on the first day of publi
cation , and that a second edition ha
bopn ordered to bo got ready by Apri
let.
OAUCO CUARLEY now ta\os it all back
Ho saya ho was only "ohofling" uom
Arthur men when ho cnid 'Arthur ooul
not carry Ohio. "If I had suppose
there were any newspaper men around ,
aya Governor Fouler , "I should no
have oxprovod myself as I did. An.
ono with whom I have talked soborl ,
will boar toa-lmony that I have alway
given President Arthur credit for a wis
and judicious administration , and hav
the highest respect Tor him aa a mat
and an olllcial. I don't see how hocoul
have done bettor. " Governor Foito
further explains that his statement tha
Lojan was the Ohio candidate , was als
a joko. "When Chandler asked m
who would carry Ohio , " saya Mr. Fester
tor , "I put my liand on Logan's kne
and said , 'Hero's the wan.1 " Mr. FosU )
ns a joker is a great success , but m th !
instance ho seems to have become con
vinced that there ia such a thing as cArrj
ing a joke too far. *
TUB Now York
Times Cincinnati cor
respondent nays that Now York ia agah
the over-rising stumbling block that got
in the way of candidates and throws then
out. Whatever there ia of hope for Ar
thur'a candidacy liea in the ability of lit
frienda to show the rest of the country
that Now York wanfa him and will g. .
him its doctoral vote. All reasoning for
other candidates will go down if , after
the district conventions in Now York are
Jiald , it can bo satisfactorily known tbul
a largo majority of them desire to present
sent Arthur'r name.
I'jX-CONQIIKaSMA.V FlXWElt , of N
York , having been convinced that hi'
lands no Blum of being elected United
States senator , has refused to be a candi
date for that position , but ho is , never
theless , spending a good deal of coin
rom his "bar'l" in political channels.
To recently gave , unsolicited , $000 to a
ocal democratic organization. The .fact
s that ho is laying his plans for nomina-
ion as vice president on the democratic
ickot , with Payne at the head of it.
those two men , each having a big
'bar'l , " ought to got away with the nom-
nation , That , however , ia as far as they
over will got in the presidential race.
SOMETHING POIl THK PARTY OF THK
1T.OPLK TO DO.
The republican party ought , assuredly ,
recognize what is coming to bo the
ono imperative need of the people of this
country. The times are hard for the
people , who will sooner or later solve lor
themselves the question whether they are
to * go on indefinitely taxing themselves
ono hundred million dollars n year be
yond the current needs of the govern
ment. The republican party was never
strong enough , in its strongest days , to
Face a policy which takes two dollars
year from the pockets of every man , vro-
man nnd child throughout the entire
land , and piles it up in the treasury
vaults at such a rate as that. The people
ple will not stand , much farther , such
policy as this , though it bo sustained by
two such attorneys ono a republican
and the ether a democrat as Randal !
and Iliscock. This in the important
question of the present hour , and it wit
grow rapidly in importance. Comparcc
with this question , the abstract am
theoretical doctrine of protection wil
have to take a backBoat. The poopli
will insist on retaining what is their own
in their own pockets. Every loya
American is willing , cheerfully , to pa ;
every cent which the government noodn
and can justly ask , to moot all its obli
gations of debt incurred by the war fo
this Union , and its obligations , too , co
the boys in blue who fought to save the
Union , and to lot the government live
But beyond this they have the right , nnc
their necessities will surely compel then
to demand that not ono dollar of the !
money shall bo drawn from their pookoti
to bo pilnd up in the treasury of tin
United States.

such sales are to take place )
3. If so , when do such saloa occur , anc
at what place ?

That portion of the Omaha reservation
which is to bo thrown into the market a
an early day has been appraised. Th
valuation put upon the lauds in forty
aero lota is as follows :
Five lota at $4 per acre , 20 lota at $
per acre , 7 lota at $ G per acre , 101 lots a
87 per aero , 12 lota at $3 per aero , 4G
lota at $9 per aero , 3 lota at $10 po
acre , 370 lota at $11 per acre , 130 lots a
$12 per acre , 151 lots at $13 per acre , !
lota at $14 per acre , 0 lots at $14 pe
aero. The average appraisement i
810.20 per acre. These lands will b
sold to actual settlers only at tha ap
praised valuation , and on the followin
terms as to payments , viz , : Ono-thirc
of the price of slid land to become du
and payable ono year from the data o
entry , ono-third in two yean , and ono
third in throe years from said date , wit )
interest at the rate of five per centum
per annum. Settlement must bo mad
on thoao lands before a person is qualified
fiod under the law to make ai
entry of the same. Wo aupposo.of COUIBO
that the lands will bo cold to the highes
bidders ,
The date and place of sale have no
yet boon fixed , but thojand commissiono
will probably arrange for the sale to tak
place this spring. This matter will prob
ably bo decided on or about April 1st.
The lands are located in the Lugat
valley , ono of ( ho richest * agricultura
sections in Nebraska. These lands pen
BOSS a beauty of surface , and woudorfu
fertility , and are conveniently near to
market. No bettor lands can be fount
anywhere , and it is our opinion that they
will all bo readily sold to actual settler
at rather high prices , but the terms o
payment however , are very easy.
CONOKESHMAN GEOIK1K R. DAVIS , O
Illinois , says ho does not believe it
sending men to the convention tied dowi
by an iron gag to veto for ono man first
lost and all the time. Ho says that "i
Senator Logan's friends will lot the people
plo elect delegates who are in a measure
non-committal , ho will receive due con
aideratiou at their hnnds ; but if they
want to own absolutely these men ana
pledge them indefinitely , then there i
upt to bo somewhat of n fight. " V
Tun Now York Jfcrald says that the
Victoria's new volutno ia instructive as
showing that the , life of the Queen o
England does not differ much from tha
of any other worthy woman whoso
circle of friends in restricted by the mis
fortune of circumstances , and who , bo
ng limited toher fainiiy and servants for
ho expenditure of her ullection , seems
selfish in their narrowness. The minute-
noes with which petty incidents contorti |
ng Brown are chronicled boars witness
Iso to this such ns the slight scraping
f his logs by the overturn of a carriage
nd his recommendation of whiskey tod-
y to her as a wholesale bovorngo.

Says the Chicago Tribune of Tuesday
That Vanderbilt and Gould nro Kottin ;
desperate is beat shown by the extraordinary
dinary means they take to down Mr. Ca
bio , of 'the Rock Island , because the lat
ter will not aid them in their scheme t (
bull stocks and fleece tholsmbs. A ru
mor gained credence in Now York yesterday
torday that Vnndorbilt had obtained con
trol of the Rock Island. But the tru
inwardness of the canard was soon ro
vealod. Vunderbilt could not got con
trol of the road under any circumstance
until two years from next Juno , as the
directors are elected in thrco installments
and the present board ia solid agaius
Vanderbilt. A majority of the stock
is locked up in the safes of its
present owners , and Vanderbilt canno
not it for love or money. In regard to
Mr. Vanderbilt's attack on Presidon
Cable , and the intimation that ho woulc
bo deposed , ono of the largest holders o"
Rock I land stock said yesterday : ' -Sucl
talk is all nonsense. Mr. Riddle re
signed on account of ill-health. Ho ii
back of Mr. Cabin in everything the lal
tor has done. Vanderbilt had 0,000
shares of Rock Island stock , which in-
crowed to 12,000 shares when the stock
was doubled. Two of us will talio that
stock to-day if Mr , Vanderbilt wanta to
sell it. llo might as well try to move
the Rooky Mountains into Pennsylvania
as to depose Mr. Cublo with hispresout

Nebraska Heard From-
New York Bun.
. , February 8 _ If con-
Kress fails to become a total abstinence
way the fault will not bo that of want
ot pub ia memorials on the subject The
other day a petition was presented in the
Bonate , from citizens of Vermont , asking
or thu prohibition of the "sale , manu
facture or use" of intoxicating liquors in
ir ? " * 51 of Columbus. Promptly
Harmon was on his feet with a like
petition from citizens Of Indiana. Mr-
! ftmoron instantly followed with ono
rom citizens of Wisconsin. It began to
> o evident that many members had boon
oadod with such petitions and were ready
o fire them off. Mr. Miller rose at once
with a prayer to the same effect from
citizens of California. No sooner had
10 sat down than Mr. Col-
luitt was at hand with n like ro-
luest from citis-ona of Georgia. Mr.
jogan immediately added an equivalent
suggestion from 1,207 citizens of Illi
nois , and Mr. Van Wyck capped it with
a presentation of the wishes of citizens
of Nebraska. Then Mr. Sowoll showed
that , a like aspiration possessed citizens
) f Now Jertoy. Mr. llawloy , from the
STutmeq state , contributed a document of
.ho same flavor , nnd Mr. Wilson contin-
led the excitement with ono from "the
jest elements of Iowa , fairly represent-
ng the dominant clement of that stato. "

rho Grant of Muiuciml | Franchises.
St. Tiouli Republican.
If municipal n ( Fairs could bo managed
with the same carefulness nnd economy
that are ordinarily exorcised in connec
tion with personal and private business ,
city finances would flourish much better
than they do. The difllculty seems to bo ,
that , the individuals composing the city
govcinmcnt , although it may bo shrewd
and vigilant in their own aflalrs , appear
to deal with public interests in a much
moro liberal and negligent spirit. In
past yeara this has been not unfrcquently
illustrated in the grant of railroad and
ether franchises. Parties associated
under a corporate name , without oven a
genuine corporate existence , without
ascertained means of any kind and representing -
presenting merely a speculative purpose ,
have been successful in obtaining valuable
and irrevocable franchises to trade and
barter in. The provisions of the present
city chatter regarding the grant of rail
road and other franchises \\ere intended
to prevent this sort of thing and to base
the city's action in such matters on plain
principles of business. But no matter
how wise may bo , these provisions they
are useless if evaded or disregarded by
the legislative branch of our government.
N > hat wo insist upon in reference to
grants to private parties by vtho city is ,
that the } ' shall not bo made except for
strong and urgent reasons nnd for full
nnd sufficient value. But in the matter
of "consideration" very great care should
bo taken , because oven the color of ac
ceptance gives rise to contractual claims
exceedingly difficult to got rid ot after
wards. The city need not bo in a hurry
to bite at every illusive proposition sub
mitted to persons solely actuated by sel
fish motives. Indeed , it might bo a good
thing if no extensive and permanent
franchise could bo granted excepl
within fixed and specified limitatons.
These remarks are suggested by the
rumors current respecting the omnibu. '
bill granting "priviliges and franchises'
.to the new gas , fuel and power company.
The parties interested in it nro reporter
to bo quite confident that the assembly
and mayor will favor their plans am
grant them all the privileges they desire.
On what this confidence is based wo are
at a loss to understand. The demand o :
the company is for permission to tear up
the streets all over the citiy so that pipes
may bo laid for selling a now kind of gas
Without discussing the merits of water
gas , or ether ( questions connected there
with , we think the mere question of the
protection of the streets shouli
disposeof this absurd proposal. Wo
have gas pipes laid all over the city the
city is bound by contracts as to its gas
supply that it cannot escape for some
years yet. A valuable franchise , one
vitally affecting our street system , ant
particularly the now and expensive pave
ments recently paid for by private pro
perty-owners , ia asked for , and without
any approximate return in value to the
city. All the provisions in the bill as to
guarantees and taxes , etc. , are simply so
many vague promises. All of them are
based on contingencies. If the com-
p-ny succeeds , if by Bomo means il
makes money , if the speculation turns
out well , then such things will bo done.
Wo object to a grant of this kind being
made in this manner. Wo object to in
terference with our streets at present in
the way proposed. There docs not ap
pear a single valid reason for conferring
such a franchise on a private corporation
for the purpose stated. Wo object to
this ordinance on public grounds only ,
because it ia unnocosary , injurious to tha
streets , and because , the situation'of the
city at present , in connection with the
gas entanglement , forbids its passage.
