"A HOUSE divided ngninat iteolf , etc. , "
reminds us of flio democracy's split on
the tariff question.
SAN FiiANtnsco has had n lively attack
of the shakes. It was a gentle romindoi
of the earthquake of 1808.
AN effort is being made to create the
impression that the hungry democrat !
are growing in favor of the Now York
Flower barrel.
Tnn saloon keepers ought to bo satisfied
with their present representation in the
city council , and Rive some other cla s ol
people a show.
THE republicans hold their primaries
this evening , and it is hoped that they
will select the very best men for candi
dates for the city council.
MINISTER SAUCIENT has boon appointed
minister plenipotentiary to Russia. Bis.
marck ought to bo satisfied now , and
give the American hog a rest.
COLONEL DAVID S. STANLBV , who haf
boon promoted to Brigadier-general , waa
the senior colonel in tlio army. This it
the firat promotion to brigadier-general
by seniority in a number of years.
IT was Huntington who , in his famoue
letters , called Sargent n hog. This explains -
plains why Bismarck insisted thntSargonl
must go. Bismarck had road Hunting ,
ton'a letters.
BLAINF. expects to make $250,000 out
of the sale of his book this yoar. Tliia
will help to pay the expenses of the
presidential campaign , if ho is nominated.
His candidacy helps the sale of his book
and his book helps his candidacy. A very
happy and timely hit all around.
" " The senate has passed thn bill providing -
ing for the purchase of the roservatione
of various tribes of Indians , and the al
lotment of lands in severally to them.
The purchase money is to bo retained 2t
years , and the government is to pay five
per cent interest to bo used for the edu
cation of tlio Indians.
WILLIAM PILT KELLOOO haa made ap
plication for a speedy trial on the indict
ment charging him with bribery in con
nection with the star-route contracts. II
is hoped that William's petition will be
granted , both for his own sake and that
of the country. The idea , however , ol
speed in a star-route trial is rather ludic
rous.
A COMSTOOKCH , writing from Eagle
City to the Virginia ( Nov. ) Enterprise
says : "The Ceuur d'Alono ' liar is tht
boss liar of the western world. Noithoi
the Arizona liar , the Colorado liar , tlu
Now Mexican liar , nor the Nevada liai
can stand before tlio Ccuur d'Alono lint
half a round. Ho lias a cold , hard chooli
of a marble mule and the eye of n bast
lisk. When ho goes for the poor pilgrim
it is equal to a stroke of paralysis. "
THE Chicago Ncwa pays the following
compliment to Dr. Miller : "A couple
of weeks ugo the Omaha Herald turned
its column-rules and printed a two-col
umn obituary about the lite Bishop
Clarkson. Last week it published a
throe-column report of an inter-state
chicken light at Council Bluffs , and u
beautiful 7x10 diagram of the acono ol
battle. Wo consider the editor of the
Omaha Jlcrald the most versatile jour
nalist in the English language. "
Tun result of the democratic tirili
caucus cannot bo very comforting to the
democrats , The adoption of the Morri
son resolution providing that the wuy {
and moans bill to reduce war taxes shall
ho considered in committee of the whole
virtually moans the postponement of the
tariff question until after the sottlomenl
of the presidential insuo. This autior
gives tlio republicans and disaffoctoi
democrats an opportunity to fllibustoi
and delay final action on the bill. It if
evidently going to bo a diflicult matter tc
got the two factions of the democracy tc
unite on the tariff question.
THE present congress has earned the
title of "tho do-nothing congress. " Al
though it lias boon in session four monthi
it has passed no important bill. The
tariff , American shipping , finances
bankruptcy , and other important questions <
tions are as yet either unsettled or entirely
tiroly untouched. Such matters as in
vcstigating democratic outrages in tin
nouth , the star-route prosecutions , tin
Kcifor-Boynton row , the Howitt-O'Don
neil resolution , and Ochiltroo'fl Lasku
resolution seem to have occupied prott1
much all of the time of this congress
It haa not yet really begun to handle th
juoasurcs that are of real importance t

Sriu.s'u boa come. It brings with i
iho cheering sunshine that gives to th
laboring men and the poor renewed 01

Expenses of living are reduced , an

million of dollars are to bo spent ia pul

run SCHOOL noAiw.
Certain malcontents and schemers arc
low trying to induce the republicans to
lominnto a strictly partizan school board
on the plea that the Sixth ward must
lave n mom nor in the board. This would
afloct the main object of the present ed
ucational system. Our board of oduca
ion is elected from the city at largo foi
ho purpose of getting the boat men tic
matter where they livo. They are elected
or three years , and there is no provision
hat requires thorn to reside in any par-
icular location. The board cannot be
mntial to ward interests. Its business ii
o provide fichool houses and oducationa' '
acilitios where most needed. The Sixtl
ward might as well insist on having the
ligh school. The real object of thcat
chomors who are agitating this ward
eprcsentation is simply to got men in
ho board who will help displace Super-
ntondont James , and make an opening

QJonsJAY OIHCO , who died in Now York
on Sunday , was appointed United Statct
assistant treasurer and placed in charge
of the sub-treasury in Now York in 1852
> y President Piorco. Ho remained ii
his position through the administration !
of Pierce and Buchanan , and when Mr ,
jincoln was elected president Mr. Cisco ,
vho was a democrat , tendered his rcsig
lation as assistant treasurer , but at the
arnest request of the president ho con
anted to continue in the office for r
imo. The government was then serious
y in need of money to prosecute the wai
against the seceding states , and the first
oan was placed on the inarkot. There
was a good deal of hesitation displayed
about taking the bonds , and the large
> anks of Now York hold back from in
vesting in thorn. Mr. Cisco called n
mooting of the ollicora of the loading
> anks , and by his arguments succeodct
n inducing them t take the loan , and
after the first issue the confidence in the
ovornmcnt became so great that but
ittlo trouble was experienced in future
negotiations. President Lincoln hold sc
ligh an opinion of Mr. Cisco's financial
bility and integrity that when the Unior
'acific railroad bill was passed in 1802 ,
10 insisted , before signing it , that Mr.
> isco should bo made treasurer of the or-
anization , and ho assumed that position
under the late Gen. John A. Dix as pro-
idont.
TUP. fast mail is not appreciated ncarlj
s much as was expected. In St. 1'au
ho mail from Chicago is delivered at at
lour too late in the evening to bo cf anj
inxctical benefit , and the business mor
[ o not hesitate to pronounce it , as al
ircsont conducted , "a delusion and i

Omaha. The fast mail is not received a
-ho postoflico until sometime between f
and 10 o'clock in the evening , and it ii
not distributed until 8 o'clock the nox
Horning , thus boating the regular mai
only about throe hoars. So far the onlj
natitutions bonofittod by the fast mai
are the Chicago morning papers. If wi
lave a west-bound fast mail , why should
vo not have an oast-bound fast mail ? Ii
s a very poor system that won't work

nd is just as well offwithout it , but never
lioloss she can't help growling at the
lartiality shown towards Chicago. The
3t. Louis Globe-Democrat says : "T e
ast mail must go. By which wo moan
o nay that the fast mail must go from
St. Louis or quit going from Chicago. '
Vo suppose that this will settle it.

THU NAVY.
President. Arthur Kccommomln Ap
propriations for Three Now Crul-
HOTH anil Four Gunboats , and
to Finish Four Doitulu-Tiir-
rcltod Monitors.
WASIIINIITOW , March 20 , The presi
dent to-day sent to congress the follow-
ng message , recommending appropriat
ions for the construction of navy vessels :
"In my annual message I impressed upon
congress the necessity of continued pro
gress in the reconstruction of the
navy. I now doom it my duty to advise
that an appropriation bo made at the
iresont session toward designing and
: ommoncing the construction of at least
three additional stool cruisers and the
'our gunboats recommended by the secre
tary of the na y , the cost of which , in
cluding the armanont , will not oxcocd
$4,283,000 , , of which ono half should bo
appropriated for ' the next fiscal yoar.
The Chicago , 'tho Boston , the Atlantic ,
and the Dolphin have been designed and
are being built with care and skill , and
there is every reason to believe those
will prove creditable and serviceable
modern cruisers.
"I am unwilling to see the gradual
reconstruction of our navy cruisers , now
iiapplly begun in conformity with mod-
; rn requirements , delayed ono lull year
'or any unsubstantial reasons. What
ever conditions congress may BOO fit to
mposo in order to secure judiccious de
signs and honest economical Construction ,
will bo acceptable to mo ; but to relin-
pjish or postpone the policy already do-
ibcraotly declared will bo , in my judg
ment , an act of national imprudence.
Appropriations should also bo made with
out delay for finishing the four double
-urrotod monitors the Puritan * the Am-
ihitrito , the Terror and the Monadnock
and for securing their armament and
thatof thoMiatnitomah. The total amount
appropriated to this time for the four ,
? : ! ,51(1,511. ( A sum not exceeding
§ : ) ,8)8,7 : ) < J ! > , including 800,725 for four
iioworfnl rifled cannon and for the ro-
iiiiinder of the ordnance outfit , will com
pletely equip them for service. Of the
sum required , only § 2,000OCO need bo
appropriated for the fiscal year. "
An early consideration of the report is
recommended , together with such action
as will enable the govornnont to con
struct its ordnance upon its own terri
tory , and so to provide the armaments
demanded by considerations which concern -
corn the national safety and honor.

The Sunday Herald of this city pub
lishes the following piece of political gos
sip :
"Thoro is some curious news afloat
in very quiet circles conourning General
Sherman and his viuwa.about politics. A
general officer , not ntationud in Washing
ton , lately road to another contloman ; it
letter ho had rooeivod from General
Sherman , in which the lattar apoko cold
ly of the republican party , Baying ho had
no love for it , and giving his reasons.
This general is one. who has always had
Sherman's confidonoo. After reading tlio
letter ho said :
" 'Y u know it has boim assorted that
General Sherman , would not accept a
nomination for the preildcncy. Un
doubtedly ho would rufuso to bo the re
publican candidate , but he would not de
cline the nomination if offered him by
the democrats. '
"Outside the immediate entourage ol
the late general of the army it has always
been supposed that , while keeping oat
of politics , hia sympathies wore with the
republicans. This impression doubtless
arose from the fact that ho was Grant s
intimate , the brother of Senator Bhor-
man , and the companion of _ General Von
Vliot , whoso radicalism is undoubted.
Coming as it does from n general officer
whoso name , if it could bo used , would
carry much weight , the assertion that
General Sherman would accept the demo-
cratiouoininatiou is curious if not signili.

OTTAWA , March 20. Sir John A , Mc >
lionald is reported seriously illk
Missoum.
The report of tlio United States Dep
uty Surveyor Fairfield concerning the
unlawful fencing of the public Innd in
.Northwestern Nebraska hixs boon outlined -
lined in the dispatches from Washington.
This is the first attempt of the govern
ment to secure the exact location of the
fences and the amount of land enclosed.
For the last five years the cattle barone
of the northwest have been building
fences around vast areas of public land ,
usually the very best to bo had , and cov.
cring ono or more water courses in each
range. Like novices in housobroaliia ,
their fencing operations were at first lim
itcd in extent , but as their herds grow
numerous and fat , they became boldci
and defiant. The decision of the supreme
court of Wyoming was the first sot bacfc
they received , and for u time it was hoped
it would bo elFcctivo in leveling the fences
of the territory. It did not so prove ,
The barons appealed , and threatened terrible
riblo results if the decision ohould stand
as at first delivered. The power and
pressure was so great that the opinion at
recorded was but the skeleton of the ori >
ginal.
In thin state the United States district
attorney has entered suit against the
fence trespassers to compel them to ro.
move. It will doubtless slumber on the
court docket for a year or two , postpone'
monts will follow as usual , and yearn
may bo waited in atruqtrlo which will end
in nothing.
The vast tide of farmers and stocktnpii
at present moving toward the north and
western portions of the state will soon
aottlo the fcnco ideation without the in
tervention of ovornmontal red tapo. The
cowboys and their masters may threaten
and profane to their heart's content ;
some blood may bo spilt , followed by a
fovr lynchings , but the fences on govern
ment land will go down before the end of
the present year and the Cisars ; who have
grown corpulent on the nation's domain ,
will bo forced either to secure a title or
move on. Westward the star of empire
moves with resistless force and the
baronial squatters might as well butt
their heads against a atone wallas fry to
atom the torrent with a barb-wire fence.
Incalculable damagp has already boon
done by those cattle highwaymen. Depu
ty Fairu'eld says the whole country
traversed by him has been denuded of
timber. Thorn arc acres after acres of
bare stumps which a short time ago were
growing timber. Thousands of logs were
cut last summer and hauled to accessible
points where they were used for fences ,
corrals and other purposes.
The crowding of the agricultural ele
ment UJXHI the cattle ranges of Nebraska
suggests the importance of preventing
fraudulent land entries. It is stated that
cattleman who have squatted on the
cream of the land wi'l ' make desperate ef
forts to maintain their grip at any hazard.
The plan on which many are already
working is to homestead as many quarter
sections as there are employes. The em
ployes are induced by an increase of sala
ry to contract to enter liJO acres , perform
the work required by law , and at the end
of the homestead period secure patents
and turn them over to the employer. This
is a very feasible plan and will doubtless
bo practiced by every dishonest and un
scrupulous ranchman. It is of the great
est importance to the people of the state
that honest men bo put in the land of
fices , and thus prevent as much as possi
ble the consummation ot the frauds here
cited.
The spring frcnhot of railroad rumors
is out of banks. The southwest seems to
be the most fertile iiold for prospective
roads. The town of lied Cloud , fearing
the oiled of the Oxford Out-OlT , is push
ing the Kansas , scheme to build south-
west. Interested townsin Kansas are
also taking hold , and with a united
effort it is probable substantial results
will ensue. Olay , andi .duckolls counties
are considerably excited over railroad
prospects. The towns. o Superior and
Nelson put the question of aid to a vote
on the 22d , but the result has not yet
yoached us. Fairliold has. sent a railroad
committee to Chicago to cousult with the
0. , B. it Q. officials in ropard to the sur
vey recently made thoro. The 31. & M.
company have purchased eighty acres of
land at Nelson and will at ouuo lay it out
into town lota for enlarging the town.
The fooling there is that the J > I. P. ex
tension will como on , this account and a
north and south line is yet hoped for.
The country is settling up almost unrea
sonably fast in consequence of these
prospects and this will make it a still
stronger inducement for the railroads to
build through the two oountiex.
The Hastings Gacotto-Journal thinks
the farmers of Adams county will soon
sot up a' howl compared with which the
racket of ancient Homo would bo a side
show to the circus. "Tho first cause will
bo the cutting up of farms for the right
of way for the B , z M. extension _ from
Hastings to Aurora. The next will bo
from those- farmers on , the line from
Stromsburg to thub city. Then there
will bo music in.thn air of the south part
of the county on account of the road
frornDowitt to floldridgo. Nest comes
the extension ofj the central branch
through Nnckolls county , and entering
Hastings from tha southeast. Thou tile
farmers in Cottouwood township will
have cause to protest against the exten
sion of the Stomsburg line through that
nock o' woods on , its was to unite with
tlaoK. P. read , at la Junta , in Colorado
territory. "
Preliminary vroek lias boon ccimnauod
on the Choyoun * , BJ ck Hills and Mon
tana rai'xoad at Cheyenne. Uoxt to , the
completion , of tlio Union Pacific thiairork
is the most important to the city oxd ter
ritory. It itsures the car\y opoiwnR oi
vast and almost untouch/d mineral region -
gion > , besides striking into Iho very
hean of tha grazing country. A branch
will also be built to tha Black. Hills , and
may possibly reach that now isolated dis
trict before either of the eaatorn roads.
Trills road will also connect with the Bur-
ifngtoa ou the south , giving Choyonnc
another air line to Denver. The spring
certainly opoi's auspiciously for the magic
city , and a. seaiou of great prupority it

Tin : BEE lias staked its reputation as t
prophet on the statement that the Ciuui
d'Alcno region is a good country to lfoo [
away from. From a mass of roporti
and letters from correspondents only on <
conclusion can lo reached that it is a
humbug of the flint water. A barrel of
whisky or a few shanties will turn more
money in a day than the best claim
in the district. Flour is 30cents n pound ,
board § 42 a week and small cabins rent
for § 150 a _ month. Speculators and sa
loons are coining money , while the thou
sands of early birds are already fleeced
and fcatherlesi , and unable to get away.
There are over 3,000 fortune hunters
there already , and it is estimated ns many
mnro have returned to civilization.
Eagle City is a collection of 200 log
huts and as many tents , with snow three
to live feet deep on tholovol. Town lots
in Knglo City are selling from $1 , * > 00 to
$5,000 , according to location. These
high prices do not seem to ad'oct build *
ing , as many cabins uro in course of
construction. The.ro are at present but
three stores fn Eagle City , twonty-fivo
saloons , six lodging houses , tents , where
$1 per night is charged for a
bunk , the lodger to . furnish his
own blankets. There are three restau
rants where a meal consisting of salt pork
and beans or beef and beans , costs $1.
Two eggs added to the menu makes an
additional cost of CO cents , as eggs are
quoted at $2 per dozen. Bacon is retailed
at . ' ! 5 cents per pound and Hour at the
rate of10 per barrel. Fifty dollars per
month rent is charged for ground on
which to erect a 14x20 tent. Murrays
villo , five miles from Eagle City , has only
four houses and plenty of room in which
to grow. Haven City , five miles further
up , is the same size and with about the
same prospects.
So thoroughly has the Cwur d" " Alone
country been advertised and exaggerated
by the railroads aim interested parties ,
throughout the country , that it is be
lieved 50,000 people will have visited the
district by the 1st of August. How many
will remain will depend entirely on the
walking.
It is bohovcd not loss than ono hundred
persons have perished in snow slides in
the mountains of Colorado this winter.
The severity of the winter and the un-
paralollcd snow fall has imperilled hun
dred of exposed camps. Many towns
have boon completely shut in from thn
outside world for months , and iu some
instances supplies run so low that a meal
and a half a day was luxurioua living.
The experience of the winter is a needed
warning to minors. They must learn to
protect their works better and build
their homes out of icach of the snow
slides.
As a- silver producing camp , Butte ,
Montana , claimo the pennant of the
world. The Inter-Mountain says more
silver has been shipped from the city
since the first of January than any dis
trict on record , and goes on to say : It
may bo estimated that the silver produc
tion of Butte this year will bo fully $ j-
000,000 , . for beside the vast amount of
that metal shipped as- fine bars it must bo
remembered that the silver valuation * of
the matte product of the smelters is very
considerable. . The matte turned out by
the Colorado company assays * in silver
from gdOO to 81f)0fJpor ( ton. The Colusa
matte is very rich in silver , of which the
company probably shipped half a million
dollars last year , and it' is reliably stated
that , the Harrpt produced last year over
$100,000 in silver. Besides the > silver as.
iociated with the smcltor mattes it should-
bo remembered that the crude ore shipments

With "tho Springtime , Gentle Annie ,
como the rumors , also the solid realities
of many now btuincas and manufactarim
enterprises for Nebraska City , n few ol
which TO shall try to enumerate for tin
readers of Tun BRE.
L. 0. Jones , the now clothier from Tn
bio Rock , opened ont his extensive stool
of clothing and furnishing goods in tin
Rector building , a few daya since. Mr
J. is a liberal patron of printers' ink , ant !
of course will therefore tw.ko a success
in his now business.
llyor & Malty , the old clothiers , have
dissolved partnership. Mr. Malby wil
continue business at the eld stand , whih
Mr. Hyer has rented the laigo stororoon
in Stevenson's block , and mil open out i
now stock of gents' furnishing goodi
there in April.
The "Farmers' and '
Traders' Bank ol
Nebraska City" was incorporated in the
county clerk's nfiico last month. Tlu
capital stock is $50,000. The incorpora
tors are Messrs. James Sweet , R , P. Dra.
per , It. F. Cady , R M. Rolfo , Henrj
Pendloton , George Wright , A. Munnant
John Overtoil , all being merchants and
farmers of largo means.
This bank has secured the old Barnum
house and is putting in a largo vault , new
front and otherwise fitting it up in line
shape for their business.
The passing by ' , hn senate of the bill
for a § 75,000 government postollico al
Nebraska City caused morn oxcitomen )
than anything that has transpired here
for years. It was hardly fifteen minutes
after Postmaster Schwinko had received
the dispatch from "Our Van" announc
ing the above , before every business man
in town know of it and each and everyone
ono had it loeitod forthwith within n
block of his business house. There is
great speculation us to whnro it will be
located , should wo secure it , and il
money would have any influence on the
government locator , a great deal of "the
iljthy" would bo brought to boar upon
him.

Nebraska City is still losing her ponu-
lation , as she has been doing all winter ,
i. o. , not by them moving away , but by u
peculiar combination that little Cupid
lixes up by which two persons become
ono.
ono.Messrs. . Shollenbargor & Lusk , of the
est End livery stables , have purchased
all the paraphernalia of the Nebraska
City Transfer company , and will hereaf
ter run all 'busses and baggage wagons.
They have also purchased a"'bus from
P.od Oak.
L- . Levi purchased , a few days ago , the
first landau which over came to Nebraska
City. It cost nearly § 1,200 and is a
daisy in every respect.
One of our Main street merchants ro-
ooived a brand now boy at his house a few
nights ago. His opposition merchant ,
osactly opposite across the street , not to
bo outdone by his friend , wont him ono
butter , a little later the same night , and
wo'comed twins at his house. A npirit of
rivalry between merchants is not such a
bad thing after all , as the above item
niahea patent.
J. II. Catron , Captain Engart and
other of our Missouri citizens , have made
arrangements to open a now bank in the
third ward , the first of June. This will
make five banks , which will bo doing
pretty well for a town of our sizo.
Mr. Will Cornutt and Miss Mollie
Stoinhart , two of our best known and
most popular youmj people , were married
a few daya ago. They have sottl d down
to housekeeping at once , like the sensible
folks they are.
A. flbater , the body of a man , was seen
joing down the river Sunday on a cake
of ice. The ice was running so hard ,
however , that it was impossible for those
oi < shore to put out in boats to secure it.
The various roads leading into the city
are almost impassable in all directions
vrorso than they have boon in ton years.
Lota off "stick in the muds" among our
farmer brethren nowadays. The spring
building operations have already started ,
many now buildings being erected over
the oity. More anon. EVE SEK. ,

Valuable Medicine.

amply satisfied that it is a valuable addi
tion , to our lint of medicinal agents. "
An Alleged AVIilto Ulrplmnt. .
A bleached quadruped , alleged to bo a
baorod white elephant , constituted a portion
tion of the cargo of the steamship City
of Chester , which arrived in port yester
day. When the creature was landed a
black pall was thrown over his sacred
person , lest the moist atmoshoro should !
give him the pneumonia. Ho was thea
led to a stablu where ho was treated to a
meal of cut atravr and sliced turnips.
"Tho blondu ia an old stacror , " paid an
oflicor of tile steamer , "j saw him
fifteen yearsago - in a circus ui Manches
ter , and he was then a pretty fair ppeci-
men. The poor brute has. lost all hie
jprit , thoughy since they dociored his hide
with those chemicals. "
The Mtnroo Mirror on Monday came
out for Him ; T. T. Camjjiell , of Jasper
county , as candidate forcongrcsj from
that clisWct.
