Ilawcs returns to tlio folding room at Washington ho trill carry his Logan boom with him in his vest pookot. Sr.XATOH MANDKILSOX had better recall his man Friday , Pat. O. Ilawcs , who is making the senator moro Gnomics than friends by his conduct. Mn. BAim.EiT , assistant United States district attorney , who draws a salary for doing nothing , it making himself very numerous as a lixlo-bearor to the anti- Arthur paper , which purposely misrepre sents reputable officials who have boon minding their own business. TUB republicans of Illinois took the right ground in demanding an immediate revision of the tariff with a reduction of taxation to. the farmer and consumer. This is an excellent example for the Ne braska republicans to follow. Undoubt edly it expresses the ideas of the people. is a cheap amusement in Omaha. The man Key , of 'Valentino , who was arrested on the charge of shoot ing and killing Jamtis Nugent at the Theatre Comiquo , has been released on $3,000 bail. This is , indeed , nominal bail , vrhon it is taken into consideration that the evidence against Key is very strong. ASSISTANT UNITED STATES ATTOIINHY BABTLETT never has been of any use to the department of justice , and the de partment of justice would do justice to Mr. Bartlett , if it would dispense with his services. This community has never taken any stock in Mr. Bartlett and his appeintmont to a sinecure position has never received popular approval. MR. HENDHICKB holds up "his hands admiringly over the report of the Ira quois banquet , and says that no other man in America could have written such a perfect composition as was Mr. Tildon's letter "so perfect in word and sonti mont. " Mr. Hondrioks has evidently never read Tipton a eloquent treatises on Daniel Webster , with which the Herald regales its readers every Sunday morn ing. . ] THE .republicans and the protectionist democrats who do not relish the feast of words that is prepared on the Morrison bill , are going to try to head off eloquence on the subject by moving to strike out the enacting clause. Another crisis is therefore approaching this fateful meas uro. If the opponents of the bill succeed in this design about a month of useless talk will bo saved to the house and to the country as well. THE fencing in of public lands by stock raisers in the territories , which has lately become a wholesale nuisance , has at length gained the oar of congress , and a bill is to bo brought in to prevent the abuse. It is high time. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of the finest grazing lauds in Wyoming and Montana have boon surrounded with fences by companies that have not the slightest right to them. These people , who are mostly , it is explained , forogners , onjcy all the profits from the lands without having paid a cent for them , and in this way honest Bottlers are prevented from securing land which they might otUenyia purchase , ONE of the planks m the platform adopted by the republican state convex tion of Now Jersey was as follows : llesolvcd , That wo congratulate the ; people of New Jersey on the etmotmon by the present legislature of a law look ing toward ( ho proper taxation of the cor potato property , in which legislative re form the republicans have been foremost , How about the republicans of Nobros ka ? What are they doing to secure a "legislative reform" in the direction equal taxation ? Why is it that they havi not reason to congratulate themaolvus on ito great a work for the people ? * ' V t NEW YOUK city is evidently making trong effort at moral reform. Billy Mi Glory , the notorious dance house keeper , is serving out a six months lenteno of imprisonment for a violation of th liquor law , and the excise board has now refused to license Harry Hill's tlioatr and also Billy Jfaddon'a "place , " Harry Hill has had a license for thirty year * Hill and Madden ought to come to Omah where there would bo no trouble in getting - ting a license. Them are places running IB Omaha to-day that are as bad as Harry HiU'o dive , yet the authorities 'never refuse to grant them license , and none of our citiz&na make any protest to h'cMue board. coMPKTtrioN FOR AMEIII. CAN ( IllAIN , The growing importance of India and Russia in supplying the grain demand of lurope , and the strong competition of countries for the place which this ountry has always held in the grain rado , for a serious problem for the fu- uro. In ton years the wheat exports ot ndia have risen from 1,100,000 bushels .o 00,000,000 last year. The wheat experts - ports of the United States usually .mount . to 150,000,000 bushels a year. I the production of India , therefore , continues to increase It will only bo a few years before itfl exports will bo as largo AS ours are now , and wo shall bo relegated to the fourth or fifth place among the 'ood-supplying nations. Even at , ho present time , the attention if European buyers is di- ccted moro to India than to the United States , and Russian and Indian 'uturos are being eagerly sought for. The ewer cost of those grains gives a wider margin for profit , and there appears no reason to think that anything but the productiveness of these countries will imit the demand for their wheat. It is argued that this disadvantage which the American farmers are soon to abor under is duo to the high price of labor hero and the low price of labor in India. To support this view , statistics are printed , showing that farm laborers n India only receive 10 cents a day , and f course it is concluded that it is im possible for American fanners to compote ngainst such prices as thoso. If this wcro a just argument there would bo no moro bo bo said , and the case against America would bo utterly hopeless. But the fact is that though the price of labor s so low in India , the cost of production s nearly as great an hero. So many moro men are required to do the same amount of work than are necessary in this country , that though wages are so ow , the total cost is much the same to lie farmer. Besides this , the great ad < rantagcs which the American possesses in theway of labor-saving machinery compensate what other disproportion in wages may still exist in favor of the Indian. The two , therefore , may bo considered as about on a level so far as the real cost of labor is concerned. The real advantage of the Indian grower is to bo found in the cost of getting the product to market. It is a strange fact that it really costs moro to trans- : or wheat from Dakota to Liver pool than it does irom India to livorpool. High freights the dividends which shippers must pay often on ficti tious capital and the falsa price which speculation frequently adds to American grain form the great hindrance to the Airctican farmer. It is n hindrance which his foroicrn competitors almost en tirely escape. A fair proQt on the moro cost of transportation from grower to consumer is the only tax upon Indian grain. Were American grain as free from burden there would bo no reason to fear any competition in the markets of Europo. It is useless to point to the fact that 'reight rates have diminished in the las few years as an argument that the trouble does not Ho hero. It costs moro now to ship a ton of produce from St. Louis to Now York , than it does from -Now Yorl to Copenhagen. As long as such disproportions in charges exist , it is evident dent that freight rates in this country are exorbitantly largo , no matter how much they may have recently decreased If wo are going to compote in the grain trade with India they must bo reduced to point whore the Indian farmer will have no advantage ever the American There will bo no hope of that until the government takes control of the rail roada. The paying of dividends on stock that does not exist , and on debts useless ly or fraudulently incurred will then come to on ond. That will bo the death of high railroad charges. When the farmers fully understand that the railroads and the monopolies ar crowding them out of the markets of th world , something is going to drop , About that time it will bo well to stand from under. TJIE Blair Pilot corrects THE BEE statements regarding JHo railroad bridge at Blair. TUB BKK obtained its in forma tion from a gentleman whom wo had reason < son to believe was correct in his state ments. The Pilot , however , emphatically assoris that wo have boon misinformed and wo cheerfully niako the correction , The J'llol states that the engineer say ho will have the approach completed s < that trains can cross the bridge by Ma ; 20th. Four' pile drivers are now at work and the trestle work and railing wi promptly follow , There is not n partial of water "running through the gap. " Tin bar is three foot higher than when th trestle was built last fall , and this nd vantage to the company is almost equal to the damage to business euotainud by the road. Except temporarily , bofon the boats could bo got at wort ; , thor , has been no "blow to business on tin Sioux City and Pacific in Nebraska. The boats are crossing one hundred care each way daily , and the whole businosi of the road is conducted promptly and punctually. The trains both ways ar as nearly on time as are the trains on tit Omaha road. There is no thought o aJU.ug any moro apuna to the bridge , And finally , the situation will no affect "tho contemplated oxtoudon > the line beyond Valentino. " THK saloon-keepers from Lincoln have from the start been compelled to comply with the provisions of the Slocumb law. They have invariably paid their $1,000 licence in advance , and there has boon no trouble la that city. Why cannot | c Omaha saloon-keepers bo made to do the 11 eamo thing ? Very few of the 'caloon. jl keepers , not moro than two or thrro , have paid their $1,000 in advance , and hero is no reason why all of them should iot do likewise , except for the wrong onstruction that has boon put upon the aw. If our city ordinance permits any aymcnta less than § 1,000 , then that or- inhnco is not in accordance with the locumb law , and the fault rests with the ity council , who should immediately ass an ordinance that will bo legal. HLAINK IN PKNNSYLVANIA. from tlio Now York Times , April 18th. The Blnino party has more lungs than jrnins , but if it can stop its delirious hal loing long enough to steady its mind it night bo a good thing for it to read Col , McCluro's estimate of the value of its xhiovomontn at the Harrisburgconvon- ion , as set forth in yesterday's Philadol- ihia Timoa "lilfilno has practically lost 1'onnaylrnnta n IbSI , as ho lout It In 1870 mid In 1880. The . ( invention did not rcfuio him Instructionbut It did llttlo moro. nml It left the IllMno force * with multlrOIod dafoats by overwhelming inn- "orltlo. % and with only n trnco of substnnco in .ho glittering shadows conceded thorn , while lie old-time antl-Blnlno mon Ruined the prm- Jgo nml the chief sutatntico In remits. It wai dimply a gumo of nmlaclons jugglery nlth "llnliio , nnd the lilnlno banner was unfurled iy the mnchlno lenders Minply to nifluro BU < jrcmacy nnd emphasize their omnipotence They came In the name of lilnlna to bury lilnlno , nnd they do not err In the iwmnnption .lint they have successfully sprond n luncrnl 'oast fur Hlulno Inliiu imtfvo stuto. " This is the kind of a banquet , wo fancy , A ) which a good many Blame men have iccoptod cordial invitations in this stnto. With all his boasted "magnetism" M - Blaine is unable to control his mon when lioy come within the reach of other in- luenccs. He draws better than ho holds. The above from the Now York Times , which is not friendly to Arthur , shows which way the wind blows. It was given mt that Blaine had carried Pennsylvania olid , but now it is conceded that Arthur ivill have from 20 to 2-1 votes in the Pennsylvania delegation. What is true if Pennsylvania is equally true of Now Jersey. Ostensibly the delegation head ed by Senator Sowoll is for Blaine , but n reality moro than half of the Now Jor- icy delegation will cast its vote for Ar thur when it is needed to nominate him. As a matter of fact , Mr. Blaine has not ot said that ho is a candidate , and when ho does speak ho Is moro than likely to iay that ho is not a candidate. ATTORNEY GENERAL BRBWSTER has at last furnished the senate with the corro- ipondonce relating to the pay of counsel In the star route coses. The matter which these letters contain completely justifies the course pursued by Senator Van Wyck in this affair , and puts him in a very honorable light before the country , It appears from thcso letters that when Mr. Browstor tried to niako the public believe that the compensation of these attorneys was fixed by Attorney General McVoagh , his predecessor in oflico , ho was guilty of gross deception. Mr. Brow ster himself fixed the pay , and alone responsible for the enormous sums which wore drawn by these attor noys. Thcso letters also show that Son atorVan Wyck's protests against * thi raids on the treasury which the attorney general countenanced , have compelled Mr. Browstor to reduce the pay of thi counsel whicho ho employed. They havi also frightened him into taking the name of these who received the largest foes off the pay-roll altogether. Among othon who wore thus deprived of their pluudo : was George Bliss , the biggest fraud o all. It is worttiy of note that v/hil many other senators and congrcssmoi must have had a very broad suspicion , tc put it mildly , that everything was no right in the attorney general's depart ment , Senator Van Wyck was the only one who had courage enough to donounc the reckless extravagance. The result " . his persistence is the saving of a considerable orablo sum to the government. THE , reason why the defaulting cashio ; of the Newton , Iowa , bank was not pur sued is now made clear. Ho was not thn only officer in the bank who speculated On the contrary , a special fund was so apart for gambling purposes , into which all the officers dipped their hands at will The only trouble with the cashier wn that ho took moro than his share. As th others were almost as deep in the mud ai ho was in the mire , they did not care ti hunt him down. Perhaps this explanation tion will apply also to other cases when defaulting cashiers have been allowed freely escape. Tin ; pig-irou makorn of PeunBylvani are threatened by competition mud nearer homo and much moro Borious thai that of the "pauper labor" of Europe Alabama iron-workers are making con tracts to deliver pig iron at $12 50 a ton which is less than two-thirda of tholowos price that Pennsylvania operators can nf ford to receive , Pig iron can easily t : made in Alabama for $9 75 a ton Ii looks ns though iron would soon b cheaper in this country. THE BEB predicts that Mr. Blaine , ai the proper time , will announce that ho i not a candidate for the presidency , and what is moro , Mr. Blaine , through hi intimate friends , will assist Mr. Arthu : to be nominated and elected. Wo know whereof we opoak. Mr. Blaine has good deal moro reapnot for Arthur thau | , ho has for Conkling , Platt and Grant who are attempting to undermine Arthur because they have not been able to con ttol him THE Hastings Qazcttc-Journul says ; "Tho Omaha Jlcpitbllcan is anxious to have Arthur order out the troops to drive away some of the federal officers now ii this state in tlio alleged interests o Arthur. " TUB senate has gone a long distance' out of its way to add 80,000,000 to theh I naval appropriation bill as passed by the , J J house , The amount as Jeft by the lower | 1 1 body was largo enough in all conscience , and why the senate should want to tack n moro it is hard to see. Perhaps the no Italian hand of that thrifty person , ohn Roach , has had something to do rith this , MR , J , BUFFOON BELFOKD has bocn ; oed enough to announce that as long as man from Now York runs the treasury department there will never bo any able management of the nation's finances. rVithout stopping to lament ever this tatoment. which deserves to bo classed M important , if true , it seems certain hat as long as the present red-headed ongressman from Colorado is in the house , there will never bo any lack of ntortaimncnt. Wn would advise Mr. Valentino's late clerk to moderate his wrath. There is danger that ho will rupture one of his tmall intestines if ho keeps on raving ever the Arthur boom. WE would BUKgcst that the board of unacy look after TlioronNyo'sdemented off-spring. The Arthur boom has bereft him of his censes. CITY WALKS AND TALKES. "Tlio old landmarks nro disappearing nno by one , nnd in a few years not ono will bo left , " remarked an old settler who had boor taking n walk nround town , ' 'I can eco only a 'ow of the old houaca rein lining. They have [ Ivou plnco to inoro statuly buildings. The lirat house in Omaha wna built by the ferry company. It was a rude log structure , nnd waa occupied by Mr. nml Mrs. W. 1' . Snow , don , who kept It as a s rt of a hotel or board- ng houio during the summer and fall of 1851 , for the employes of the ferry company. It was located on the corner of Tnrolfth nnd Tnckson streets , unc1 wni called the St. Nich olas , but won better known na the 'Claim HOUBO. ' Besides being the firat houao , it wan the first hotel In Omaha. The second liouso In Onmha wna built by Air. Goylord , at Burt nnd Twonty.tocond Btroet * . The third wna the 'Big 0. ' a sod-houso or 'dug out , ' which wn.i occupied as n grocery nnd saloon by Lawis k Clancy , on the north side of Chicago , bo- twee n Thlrtoouth and Fourteenth streets. The fourth houao was the log dwelling erected by Mr. Snowden , on the wo t fide of Tenth Htreet , just south of the Turner hall , the fito being now covered by n brick dwelling. The next house put up wni by P. ( Jr. Feteraon. on the went sldo of Tenth street , between l''ar- nam nnd llornoy. Peterson was the first Bhorill of Douglas county. Thin house that ho built was bought of him by Mr. 1'opploton nnd VV. N. Byors , the latter of whom lived In it for two or three yoara. It was afterwards occupied by John II. Sahlor. Mr. Popplcton also lived in it for ever two years. A few years ago it was removed to make room for Mr. Poppleten's three story bulldinp. Tim sixth houao was erected by Samuel K. and William Itogors , south slda of Douglan , between Tenth and Eleventh streets. The old Btato house wna the first brick struc ture. It was built by the ferry company for the first session of the legislature. It stood on the west bldo of Ninth street , between Fnr- nam nnd Douglas. Pioneer Block was the first brick block , compiifing two or moro stores , that wan erected in the city. It was destroyed by fire n few years ngo. Goodman's and Lebman'H buildings now cover the site. 10 only brick building now standing In the , y , built ns long ago as IS'iS , In the Unltod States National bank building , At the corner of Farnam and Twelfth streets. It WOH built by three or four gentlemen connected with the ferry company , for a business house , and waa rented and occupied ni soon as completed , which was in 185G. The brick house on the block boundo'l by Webster nnd Burt , and Twenty-first nnd Twenty-second streets , was built in 1850. It wai built by Governor Izard for bis rcsidenco. It is a one-story house , of the Routhorn style of architecture. I under stand the property was recently bought by John A. Croigkton , who intends to put ur/a hanJsorfo row of houses on the ground. The frame residence nt tbo south- wont corner of Dodge and .Eighteenth Etrooto wns built by Secretory Cumlnir In 1855 or 185G. Mrs. Cuming still resides there with her brother , lion Frank Murphy. The Lowe residence , southwest corner of Harney nnd Sixteenth streets , was built in 1857. General Thnyer built the l&rga brick huuso nt the northeast corner of Sixteenth nnd Davenport streets in 1857. It IB now owned by General William Myers , who is making arrangements to tear it down and build In ita place n largo business block this summer. The brick hou.se , just east of this , on Davenport street , was built by T. G. Goodwill In 1857. Mnjor George Armstrong built the brick house on the north side of Dodge street , between Four teenth and Fifteenth , in 1857 , nnd the next year ho built tlio largo brick hnuo on the south side of Dodge , between Sixteenth nnd Seventeenth , now owned and occupied by A. Calm. The brick bouse on the north side of Dodge , between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets , now owned by James G. Chapman wns built In 1850. " * "Talking about Air. nnd Mrs. Snow- don , " * ald another old settler who was an interested torostod listener , "reminds me of the fact that they were the first actual settler * in Omalirt It won on the morning of the llth of July , 185 } , that Mr. nnd Mm , Newell came ever hero from Knnesvlllo , or Council Bluffs , as 1 la now called , to work for the ferry company , Mr. Snowdou and Ills wife came ever on the afternoon ot tha s.imo day , on William D , Uriwn'e Hat boat forry. Mr. nml Mra. Newel' remained only three weeks , therefore ti Snowdens nro tha first actual Bottlers living hero to-day. No ono had lived hero previ ously , although many clalinn had been staked out. Cam. iteovoa and family followed Mt , Snowden'a , and next came P. G , Potorson. Many of our old settlers , hownvor , did not lointo permanently in Omaha till Into In the fall of 1855 , nnd mnny did not come till 1850 nnd 1857. Although tlmy had been on the grtiui.d before , moro or less frwmently , they had lived at Kaneavtllo In the meantime. My friend hero Ins told you that Mr , and Mm. Bnowden occupied the firat house built in Omuha , and that It was built by the ferry company. After keeping tha St Nicholas , at ) It was called , for throe months , Mr. and Mrs. Snowden moved Into the log homo , on Tenth Btroot , the lut having been given to them on condition that they would build on It.

" * "I noticed in u newspaper the other day , " said an old timer to Tim BEE'H Man About Town , "a paragraph to the effect that President Arthur lias oatued to bo prepared for htm at the navy department a complete hUtory of the action of the father of hla wife , William Lewis Herudoii , of tha United States navy , It will bo remembered tli Lieutenant Herndon lost hla life In 185f while la coru < mandot the mail kteam hlp , Central America which waa on her way from I'uuama to New York.

" "Whon I was In Wnahlngton n few days ago , " Md Hon. John I * Webster , "I took lira. Wobator and n lady from Now York to ho gallery of the houeo of representatives. Speaker Carlisle WAI making n most diligent ( Tort to obtain order. It. woa a place of most wonderful confusion , 1 f alf the members were talking aloud nnd wandering about In the cloak rooms or washrooms , smoking clears , while othord were trying to got the ear of the iponkor , to introduce some resolution or call up some bill. Nobody could hoar what was being antd. Carlisle , in n clonr , ringing volco , called the homo to come to order , nd pound ed his desk with his gavel. In n moment the confuMon was ns loud ns before. Ho kept on potimllrjg aud again requested order , with the tumo result. There was an apjmrent disposi tion on the part of the house cither not to on- gngo In nny business , or defeat the taking up of eoino particular matter , I could not deter- Ino which. Finally Carlisle said it waa n question of great importance for the house to ilotorniinn what business it would tnko under consideration , nnd ho nmdo nn earnest appeal for order , but without nny olfoct. The lady from Now Yo k , who had never before wit- noasod such proceedings , was struck with ns- tonishmont nt the amount of confusion nnd the difficulty of the sneaker to got attention. Finally she exclaimed , 'If I waa speaker of this houpo I would fire off n cannon , but what I Would mnko them hoar. ' " * "Say , Mister , can you give mo a quar ter to got homothing to oat ? " asked nn nblo * , bodied . trnmp last evening. "Not this even ' ing , " said the man , whom ho addressed , OH ho passed down the street. Ho had gone but half n block when ho stopped nnd took twenty-five cents from his vest pocket , with the Intention of going back aud giving it to the hungry tramp. Ho had been touched by the nppaal for something to oat. Just then ho mot Captain Donnhoo of the police force. "Captain , " said ho , "is it throwing mousy away to give it to thoao fol lows who stop you on the street nnd amc you for change to buy something to oat ? " "Iu nine caca out of ten it is , " said the captain ; "instead of wanting nnythlBg to oat they want something to drink. If nny tramu is hungry ho knows \voll enough that ho needn't starve for he can go Into a restaurant or n hotel or n private house and got enough , for the asking , to keep him from suffering. This giving money to inon who ask It from you on the street ia nil wrong. Instead of getting grub with it , they buy whisky. This explains why there nro BO ninny drunken tramps. They work the 'something to oat' business for nil It is worth , nnd some of them collect two or three dollars in this way nnd blow It nil In on budge. Before midnight they generally land in jail full ot whisky and not n cent In their pockets. They generally station themselves near n restaurant nnd cast hungry looks Inside so as to work upon the sympathy of the passers-by , whom they tackle for ton or fifteen cents or n qunrtor. They work their racket systematically. They gen erally do their begging about meal time , and Inter in the night they appeal for a quar ter to pay for a bod. The money that they get for beds gooa for whisky , and they finally go to jail to pass the remainder of the night.

"Thoro are sev eral good reasons , " said the news-dealer. "Ono reason is to prevent persons from coming into a noiTS-stora and making n reading room out of it. Many n man if ho could look through a magazine and road an article or two , which happened to strike his fancy , would not buy the magazine. If ho could do this with ono magazine , ho could do it with nil others. If ho sees something that ho wants to read , nnd can't do it because the leavea are uncut , ho will bo sure to buy the magazine. Leav ing the leaves uncut ia a great protection to tha trade. If the leaves were cut I venture to say that the sales would decrease 25 per cent. Another reason IB that the cutting of the leaves would Involve some expense on the part of the publisher.
