Two days before the New York con vcntion mot , Mr. Gould's Now York Tribune assorted with great positive ness that it would bo absolutely in the Lands of President Arthur's opponents , and that the "anti Arthur victory " was ' complete and conclusive. " Since that time , the Tribune , and some other of Mr. Gould's organs , further west , have had abundant opportunity to .revise their jungmont on these mattojg. W . . . . . How does Mr. Rosewater like the strike- the Blaine strike in the Second districtRepublican. . It strikes us that the strike in the Second district knocks out Mr. John M. IPV Thurstou as delegate at largo to Chicago IVI 1 V an the first round. The Second district ll' UfLt' < Fv unanimously adopted resolutions in structing the delegates to Chicago to la ll'r bor for and > secure an anti-monopoly r plank in the national platform. It is not k. likely that the Second district would ask \i \ the chief lobbyist of the Union Pacific to 'commit'himself against his omployors. r- . ILLINOIS is laboring with its problem of country roads. A convention of county highway suprintendonts was held this week at the 'capital of the state , where the crying need of improved highways - LU ways was discussed. The only agreement reached-was that convict labor should bo employed in preparing material for and constructing permanent roads. Perhaps W this is as just and reasonable a solution , , ' t i of the convict labor question as can bo .found. There is unlimited room for labor on western roads for all time to come , and to put the convicts at it would * immedi ately remove all the evils of their present compouton with free labor , ' as well as aocurlng a direct and much-needed bon- dit to the public IT is not at all improbable that some thing like the deadlocks of appropriation ' tills which the .democrats of the forty- saih congress brought about , may eoon "bo Been in the present session. The louse is evidently in no mood to adopt the senate amendments to the naval and poutofflco appropriation bills , and if the upper chambers insist on them , thcso "bills may hang fire until adjournment 3i s come. As already observed by the JJKE , the senate has not boon altogether blameless in the matter of delaying the appropriations 'of the naval bill. - Some of them are much too largo , and the purpose for which they' are designed Jiaa too much of the eavor of a job. But "between accepting two or three objection able items , and defeating an indisponsi "Lie measure , the choice of every person ; not quite demented must bo with the former. If the democrats accept the lat ter alternative , .and keep appropriations from the naval and postal departments for the aake of a sham ocounmy , they re likely to fiod that the voters are not , , f mo easily imposed upon as they think. TUB result in Now York almost settles -ike presidential issue so for a s Mr. "Blaine is concerned. The independent republicans and the men who desire to kvate the moral standard of the party .lukve by their action in the Now York convention given very emphatic expres sion to their unyielding opposition to the "plumed knight , " While they prefer jKdinuuds above all other candidates , ' they prefer Arthur to Blaino. This pro ference is very natural. The element ) that supported Blaine in New York be long to the wings of the old machine . ibe wing that trains with Robertson an < JMI retainers , and the wing which BUS- ilned such a defeat in the retirement o : Cockling and Platt. The fact that Pros idnt Arthur his steered clear of these extremists and pursued a conservative and conciliatory course lias niado it possi VM for his personal friends to unite , witl r ! > sMMh eo as Andrew D.

The strike has boon procipita- ed in defiance of well established princi- ) les and under false pretenses. The nly point at issue between the strikers nd the publishers of Tur. BKB was the ofusal on the part bf the publishers to ave its body typo measured by on rbitrary acalo. The striking printers sot p the preposterous claim that they are ntitlod to a measurement of 1122 for 000 ems which they sot of our body ypo , because as they allege that typo is jastard size , in other words below stan dard. dard.Novr Novr the highest authority and the nly authority on this question the International Typographical Union , and the constitution and general laws stablishod by that body are the supreme for ovoiy union printer. The onstltution and general laws of the In- tcrnational Typographical Union for the past ton years have laid down the follow- ng standard measure of typo : Sr.or. I , ( page 142 , General Liwn Inter- ationnl Typographical Union of 1883 , ) 'A subordinate union cannot alter or amend the standard of typo doptcd by the -International Typo- T.iphical Union. The following ia the ilpnabotical scale for the measurement of typo : Pica to bourgeois , incluaivo , 12 tms In considering whether a font of ypo is up to the standard , the letters to 10 measured are the lower case letters rom a to z inclusive , and thcso only ho twenty-six letters bf the alphabet. According to the standard of the Inter- lational Union , the line of the the alpha- jot shows conclusively that the body typo of bourgeois in the font used in this oOico s not only fully up to the standard , but ono em , or one-twelfth , above the stan dard : abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0030503903000 In other words the striking printers mvo overreached themselves by pro nouncing our typo bastard when it really s above the established standard. That ypo is manufactured by Miller & Rich ards' foundry at Edinburgh , Scotland , mo oHho greatest typo foundries in the " world. It is in common use in Eng- and and Canada , and extensively used on ho Pacific coast. No instances can bo ited where this typo has been 'bastard- zed by printer's unions. But even if our typo had boon below bo stardard. and the claim for higher measurement was a good ono , the Omaha typographical Union is in honor bound -o repudiate this strike. The general aws of the International Union as laid own at its last session at Cincinnati do- roes as follows concerning strikes : PAGE 111 , SECTION I. The Interim- lonal union regards the resort to strikes expedient except where the rules or liples'of the International or a sub- rdinato union may have boon violated. Recognizing strikes as detrimental to the otter interests of the craft , it directs ubordinato unions not to order a strike ithout at least a three-quarters veto of 10 union ( all members being constitu- ionally notified of the meotingand ) that o member shall vote on such question without having belonged to the subordi- ate union interested at least six months , SEO. 2. To affoot union men prejudi- ially to their standing in the union who omain at vrork in an oflico where any umber of the union men insuch , oflico. ave struck work on what they doom good rounds for such action , the union must aVe ordered under the provision of its onstitutition and by-laws. Unless such triko or'susponslon of work is ordered y the union , those remaining in the ( lice are not liable to charges for viola- ion of any union laws by so remaining t work. It is notorious that no regard what- ver was paid by the striking printers to iieso regulations. They struck before hey had submitted the question to the union , and after they had struck hey got up a clandestine mooting , drummed up in loss than an lour , and voted in the name of the union o sanction the strike. Tramps who were in.Omaha loss than six weeks , in- toad of six months , voted for this strike , while some of the respectable , industri ous and aobor members had no notice whatever of the mooting , and don't know o this day what the strike was caused by. After the strike was ordered notices were sent abroad to keep union men away from this oflbo , and thus competi ng us to advertise for non-union print ors. What else could wo do 1 The high-handed manner in which thoc kramp element of the strikers has sought to enforce their arrogant and unjust de mands has boon a disgrace to the whole printing fraternity. They have kept a gang of Mjullloj around our ollico , liavo assaulted men who differed with them about their claimi , and then luvo made threats of violence to union printers inothor offices , who repudiate theirnctton. It is high-time that the Omaha typo graphical union should rid itself of the bummer and tramp element that doesn't want to work but wants to make a living by levying a contribution upon sober nud industrious men. They talk of calling a meeting of workingmou. Lot them call it by all moans. Lot them call together the ImrdWorking and decent mechanics and laborers and wo will present an array of figures that will prove a boomerang to the bummers and tramps. Wo will show them the payroll of this ofllco and submit to the real working inon whether wo are pa ) ing starvation wages , and whether under the circumstances men who defiant ly violate the charter of their own union are entitled to any sympathy from union men of any craft. Mil. VANUKUBILT has advertised for proxies to be used in the coming fight over the Rock Island road directorship , and declare ! that hU prospect for uo. cewagahut the Gable ring j good. If t be uomdiiu leoUnghli nun , ho will I ' " * ' ' have a foo'tb"oTd'in the 'directory , upon which ho can rest in his struggle for the control of the road. From the present irospoctit boles very much as though , ho dominion of the Cable pirates , who wvo so long managed the road lor the robbery of the public and their own joncfH , would bo disturbed. EX-SEXATOII THAYEII has a good deal of the bourbon in his mako-up. Ho nev er con learn and novoi ; can forgot any thing. Urn intense dislike of ox-sonntor Paddock promptshim to approve the reckless - loss and contemptible course of the Jic- publican in the present campaign , and in order to got a fling at Paddock ho goes out of his way , over an assumed signa ture , to concur with the scurrilous anti-Arthur and unropublican shoot , in itn demented ravings about dictation. General Thayer never had a warmer friend than the editor of the BKI : , and certainly ho cannot accuse this paper of undue partiality for Mr. Paddock. But wo say to General Thayer in all kindness , that such assaults ore unseemly and un becoming. As to dictation , tbo less snid by General Thayer the bettor. Ho ought to bo the last man to complain about fed eral interference , when ho reflects how ho exacted personal fealty from marshals , collectors , postmaster ; , land ofliccis , auv- voyor-gonora.1 , postal-clerks , and other federal ' officials , when ho was senator and Grant was president. There has beau no such interference in personal prefer ence as ho intimates , and the host proof of that fact is in the conduct of federal officials in the Omaha post ofllco and custom home. BLOOMINGTOtf , Historical and Political , Personal nurt General FrAiiIclln's Mo- trot/oils. / Corrcmpondonco of TUB BEE. Noh. , April 22. As nothing has previously boon said rcgaid- ing our thriving town , through the me dium of any of our city papers , a hriof statement regarding the his tor j , re sources , facilities and advantages of Bloomington , will , vyo think , bo of inter est to the many readers of TUB I3r.E , in this section. Bloomington is located on the main line of the B. & M. railroad , and on tlio Republican rivor. The town was platted in 1872 by the Bloomington Town . Com pany , who foresaw the advantages to 'bo derived from the location of a town in the midst of an agricultural region so fer tile and 'rich as that surrounding Bloom ington. Bloomington is ono of the youngest towns in franklin county ; its growth has been steady and permanent , and to-day contains moro wealth than any other town of its size in the valley. "Wo are located in the Republican valley , which is recognized as ono of the richest agri cultural districts in the world. In September , 1874 , the county seat was removed from Franklin to Bloomington - ton by a writ from Judge Gault , of Lin coln , though Franklin strenuously op posed the measure. ' ' Bloomington real estate is comparative ly free from incumbranco. There is not to-day a vacant house in our town , while several now houses are being built , aud will bo occupied as noon as finished. In business circles wo hear no com plaint ; trade seeming to bo on the in crease. The village indebtedness will not ex ceed six thousand dollars. Bloomington has ono of the finest schools inwFranklin county , or in the valley , and wo believe wo are not ox- aggorating . when wo say that the Bloom ington . Normal ia recognized as among the loading institutions of ita kind in the west. west.Our Our markets are good. Wo are in communication with the largest cities of the west and have niany advantages not possessed , by other towns , while our loca tion is ono of the finest in the west. Our society is good. Our church edit ficco are as good as can bo found in any of the towns on the B. & M. , and are in a flourishing condition , In this statement , wo have noithsr undertaken to exaggerate or to give prominence to Bloomington In prefnr- once to other towns in our county , but have simply eaid what can bo proven true by an unprejudiced investigation. The district court of Franklin county convenes on the 23d inst ; thirty-six coses on the docket , there being two criminal cases ; Michoal Keene for the murder of Frank Evans.in 1879. Keene is at liberty and has been since the murder occurred , yet tbo matter still re mains on the court docket and a now ca pias issued at each terra of court , though no particular effort has boon made for the capture of Koono. The other criminal case is The state of Nebraska vs. Porter B , Byor , for ombozzolment. Byer was formerly county treasurer cf this county and is charged with the embezzlement of k two thousand dollars. A Orookcil I'lcco of Kallrnail , ' The oxteneion of the Nevada Central lUil way from the Valley of the Hucso river up Pony canon through the city of Austin , is about two and ona-half miles in length , in which distance there are employed over forty dilTorout curves , varying from 2 dpg. to 40 deg. The grades vary from level to eight eight foot per 100 , and in a distance of 10,300 foot an elevation of 627,25 feet in Attained , To overcome this elevation within the above distance it was necessary to resort to ono switchback , and 200 feet between centers of track a difference in elevation of 70 5 feet was acquired. The use of auch excessive curvature was made nec essary by following an * old wagon rood , cut into the rock on the precipitous tide of the canon , Considering the resistance of the curvature on this it is thought that it encounters the stoepeat grade of any road now in operation in this country , upon which steam a used , applied to frfo- Uou , THIS YEAH , * CROP OF QUEER PEOPLE , Men Who Imagine Themselves Great Bait ToRscrs anil Ilio Sport They Make For The I'roreRBionnls. Philadelphia Record. "Cranks on bite ball ? " ojtculatcd the veteran player and manager , Handy Wright , yesterday , in answer to the re porter's ' query , "Well , I should soy there are cranks in base bill , and hundreds of them. They are becoming worse each year , and in creasing in numbers. It is really remarkable - able how men lose tncir heads over the game. And many of them nro really dan gerous. Wo had nn example of this down in Providence last year , when n crank snapped a revolver in Carroll's face. For a couple of months that man both ered us. Ho hung around the ground and had but one desire to 1)3 gratified , and that M-ns to bo permitted to pitch frr IH. HO thought tlut ho could knock out any bitamau over seen. The follow wait ed upon every visiting club and bosoooh- cd the manager to give him a chanco- The boys tolerated him and had a great deal of eport at his expense , i One day they got him to pitching , and then turned the hosn on hinu The crank did not like this , but said nothing , That afternoon wo lost our game , and this so enraged thu'mau , along with what was done to him in the morning , that ho wait ed at the gate with a big pistol. When Carroll citno out ho stepped up to him and pulled the trigger , but fortunately , the weapon was not dif charged. The boys Ix-oko and ran , and Mr. Crank opened fire on them. Mulvey thought ho was hit , and ho was scared badly. The follow was ar rested and sent to prison. There was another man down there , whom wo christ ened Base Ball Tommy. Wo had an old uniform that wo dress ed him up in , and then wo would set him on the fence to watch the small boy < j. That man would do anything that was wanted about the grounds. Ho was dead gone on the subject of boso ball. "Tho most remarkable thing in con nection with thcso cranks is the idea which each of them has that ho is the cnn- ing pitcher , the great phenomenal What la It. That position is the most diflicult in the Geld , yet the queer follows all se lect it , and u person would think from reading the lutters I receive that the bad players have all been engaged and only the good onus have been loft out. One nun wrote mo from Cincinnati. Ho desired an engigemcnt. The fo1- low claimed to bo the leading amateur player of the West. Ho opoko of the prominent pitchbra ho had faced , and said ; "I knocked the tar cquaro out of every one ot them . ' He offered testimonials menials of his power as a slugger , and said that ia the thirty-seven games ho had played ho had attained an average of 871 for ' fielding and 425 for batting. 1 thought that I'd better not try him. His playing was , too good entirely. ' But tbo greatest player I ever hoaad of was a fellow who wrote mo from Bos ton Ho said ho was the swiftest thrower in the world , and that Sweeney and oth ers whom hu mentioned were no compari son to him. Tha man said that ho could throw oo hard that no o o on tho. nine could catch the ball. Ho wrotot 'Tho batemen cannot hit the ball , so it will not bo necessary if you engage mo to have any men in the field. Y m can put the other eight man back of the bat , as it will take them all to stop the ball. ' Well as wo were not hiring cannons wo con' , eluded to permit this opportunity to slip Wo dropped a man from our rolls las. week who wo thought was a great playort until ho was tried. The people who recommended him claimed that ho had boon practising all winter with a six ounce iron ball and had boon using as u back stop a pile of rail road ties. The enthusiastic person wrote : 'This man has apuzzling drop curve and c. n pi > ch with equal facility with either the right or loft hand. , Well , after that wo thought that the coining pitcher had been diacovored.at last. Ho played in two g lines , and was then quietloy laid on the shelf. The boysalwaysgivo the cranks a show , and make it warm for them. They toss the ball easy at first , and after the unsus pecting individual gets warmed up and thinks ho is doing great work seine ono sends the ball to him as if it came out of a a gun. Two or throe hot ones soon settle the ambitious fellows. Very few , indeed , of the cranks want to bo made catchers. They are afraid to face the music , and the few who attempt it generally come out of the battle rather the worse for their rashiiees. " "Sometimestho manaecraqottaknin. " , said Charles Mason , of the Athleotics "Last season Atkiason went down to Indianapolis and asked Daniel O'Loary to give him a trial as pitcher. The manager laughed at him , but finally said , 'All right ; I'll make a fool of you. ' So ho arranged a picked nine , and put the Indianapolis team agiinst them. Atkisaou pitched for the picked team , and the regular nine could not hit him. The gtme ended with a victory for Atkiasou's side. Then O'Loary wanted to engage him , but ho refused to s'ga with him at any price , So it did not pay to bo to funny. IS Last season we not-dud a catcher and heard of ono in Massachusetts. Ho came hero and obtained $200 advance monpy. Wo thouaht wo had a stone wall , sure. Ho caught for two innings , and then wo wore glad to got rid cf him. That same evening the follow started back homo , and WB nevrt heard of him again , Wo < > op the cranks off our grounds when the men arc practicing. They ore regarded as dangerous in tbo extreme , and a man nexer knows when his life is safe. Base ball being the sen sation of the day , all the queer follows have turned their attention to it * But the crop of cranks ii a big ono this year. " KcportH fi-om the Ilnngcs. Denver News. Interviews with representative cittlo men of the Upper Platte Medicine Bow , Sweet-water and Bitter Crook indicate that stock in these locations have win tered well. The losses have boon trifling and stock is in good condition. On the Big Horn and Belle Fourcho ranges stock wintered fairly well. On the North Platte , Rawhide creek and Shef p creek , while the losses were It not large , the stock is not in as good con dition as on the ranges further west and north. Western Nebraska has suffered cen- siderably , especially along the line of the Union Pacific road. Heavy snows prevailed vailed to anumuuid extent.

There is n general opinion am6ng tockmon that probably there will bo an increased shipment of beef during the coming season , which commences in Aug ust. Chicago seems to bo the natural market for berf from this section , and probably will got a laroo proportion of the shipments. About 190,000 head were shipped last year over the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific roads , probably 200- 000 will bo shipped the present summer.
