GKNKUAT. GHAUT is like JJonry Villard. Ho is a much ruined man , with a very comfortdblo income. FKED. Gn.v.Nr aivya ho is looking for employment. If ho in a mechanic ho cin find plenty of work in Omaha , AJIVOOATI : General Sir aim , of the army , is unotlior striking illustration of the fact that military service reform is aa much needed as civil norvico reform , HAVING failed to bo elected as a delegate gateto the national republican conven tion , the resignation of Surveyor-General Atkinson , of Now Mexico , is now looked for aa n matter of course. Tun Union Pacific is wooding out some of its workingmen , but it will never weed out such a necessary and pliant tool 0.3 John Quinn. Ho is solid with the bosses at headquarters. IT scorns that Mr. Ohaflbo , of Colorado , mot with a sot-back at the latn republi can convention which ho tried to run , but that is a comparative trifle compared to the sot-back given by son-in-law the junior Ulysses , who confidoncod him out of § 500,000 in the Grant & Ward bank. WIDOW BrjTLiiu'H tea party will bo hold at the Briggs hotiso , in Chicago , to morrow , under the auspices of n mixed crowd of admirers , who labor under all sorts of delusions , and imagine that the Widow Butler ia a sort of a national liver-pad that can euro nil the ills to which human flash is heir. SOME four or five years ago Mr. Dlaino wont into a sohomo with several other capitalists , notably , with Stephen E. 1- kins , of Now Mexico , to convert the worthless towpath of a Virginia canal into fie roafl-bod of ft railroad between Tidosrator and the great lakes. Charters were procured , the old canal was bought , and stocks were issued in the duo course of titno. It now transpires through the failure of Grant & Ward that Mr. Dlaino and his partners had secured heavy loans through this firm upon their railroad ( collaterals , which were a second end tinio pledged by Grant & Ward for money which tioy ] borrowed. This may tend to explain General Grant's re cent reconciliation witli Mr , Blaine , and Mr. Blaino's change of mind concerning General Grant. Mr. Blaine will now have an opportunity to write an addition al chapter to the occond volume of his great work. TUB two houses of Congress have sub stantially agreed on a bill to establish a postal telegraph. The managers of the Western Union telegraph have substan tially agreed that the postal telegraph is not desirable. They now propose to cir culate petitions among their patrons ro quoating momoora of congress to vote * ! * against the bill. There will bo no inoro ff > trouble in getting people to uign thos petitions than there would bo to get then to sign petitions to got a murderer hunger or pardoned. The fact is that patillone are very easy to got for almost anything Tho'publio sentiment in iavor of cheaper telegraphy is universal. The only question tion is how to got it in the speediest way , Our ideal of a postal telegraph in the ownership and control of all tolograpl lines by the government. That waul fororor do away with the abuses whic ; are inherent in the present system , It would do away with discrimination , extortion - tortion , etock-waioriug , pooling and other devices , which are now common. But congress , after a thorough discussion through its committees , has reached the conclusion that it is not prudent to buy out the Western Union and other tele graph companies. It is proposed that the telegraph business shall bo carried on , just as the mails are , by contract awarded to the lowest responsible bidder - dor , under proper restrictions. If the Western Union company is willing to ac cept these conditions iU wires will become - i * como the postal telegraph. If not , its lines will not bo interfered with. It will simply have to compotn ifitli the contractors who are willing to carry on the business for the government and people at a stipulated rate. There will doubt- leu bo enough business for both. If the Western Union would only wring the water out of its stock , it could carry on business cheaper than any rival and pay good dividends. The petitions against the postal telegraph will bo taken for whut they are worth by ouroongreasmen , i < They know that the people of this sec tion of the country have not boon favor ed with cheap rates , and any measure that will glvo them relief will bo appro- ciatod. ( .11WEKA1. OH ANT AND JAY GOULD. Now that General Grant has been financially ruined by his reckless stock jobbing and gambling operations , Jay Gould comes promptly to his relief to make up another purse to give him an income como upon which ho can live in a style commensurate with hia great nnmo. The trouble with Grant has always been his great name. Before the war ho got along very well on fifty dollars a month as a clerk in n taiinory. Slnco ho wns retired from the presidency ho has boon living like a prince and spending money moro lavishly than an omporor. Although ho is a ruined man , ho otill has an income of $15,000 a year from the § 250,000 , winch was raised a few years ago by his admirers and placed securely beyond his roach , Fifteen thousand dollar * n year ought to bo enough to keep a plain American ican citizen and hia wife , whoso children are all provided for , but it in not onouirh 'or'.i man who insists on sporting in the whirlpool of Wall Street with the gambling millionaires. Itia eminently in accord with the eternal fitness of things that Jay Gould should now oiler Jo make another princely gift to General Gran , , , it was mainly through thoconnivancoof General Grant , when president , that Juy Gould was en abled to make hia first great strike for immense wealth on that memorable "Black Friday" when thousands of per sons were irretrievably ruined and driven into poverty. General Grant has boon a very useful man for Jay Gould on several other occasions , and at one titno Gould declared ho would give a million dollars , o put Grant again into the presidential chair. General Grant's name has enabled Gould to float stock-gambling schemes of all sorts. Grant waa sent down to Mox- co in great pomp and glory to got sub- ididloa for Jay Gould's Mexican railroad enterprises in that country. Grant un doubtedly has boon useful to Jay Gould n Europe among the great capitalists who regarded the name of the ox-presi dent as the Bynonym of honor and reli ability. To the American people who liavo honored General Grant aa no other American over has boon honored , the disgraceful scandal connected with this recent stock jobbing failure must bo as shocking an the proposal of Jay Gould to raise another big purse that will put him under now obligations to play the capper for this giant monopolist. Jay Gould could could almost all'ord to make good the § 10,000,000 out of which the creditors of Grant & Ward are said to have boon duped and swindled by a gi gantic confidence game. With General Grant na his trump card , Jay Gould could always play a winning hand in Wall street. The Bpnctaclo of Gtnoral Grant being a stool pigeon for a great railroad gambler is indeed humiliating to the American people , WHY WE DOWTAlimTllA TE. AVhy don't you arbitrate the trouble between yourselves and the printers ? What should wo arbitrate and with whorat Only four or five of the men who wont on a strike remain in the city , and they are acting more like hoodlumo and bummers than like respoccablo working men. Wo did oiler to arbitrate , through the highest authority known to the typo graphical union. Wo made an appeal to ilark L. Crawford , president of the tutor lational printers union , and requested im to pass upon the claims of the striking milters. Wo forwarded to Mr , Crawforc a complete alphabet of our typo , leaving liim to decide whether it was standard Receiving no definite answer from Mr. Crawford wo dispatched Mr. T. J. Fitz morris , who is a competent printer and is 'amiliar with the question at issue , to Chicago to procure Mr. Cmwford'ii fina decision , Wo have received the follow ing telegram : CmoAao , May 10. , Itb&KWATKii , Omaha ; Crawford rofimon to entortnlii your npimal , claiming that the oilico wan not strictly union Mr. Murder , of Murrtor. Liuo & Co. . j > ro uoimccs the typo utandikril , mid the claims of the printer * gioiuulleiu. T. J. FlTZMOUIUA. In other words the president of the in tornntional typographical union decline to make an ollloial decision , under th pretext that the BKK oilico bof ? ro th strike was not strictly a union oilico , a both union and non-union men vrorkot in it. Mr. Crawford naturally dialiku to decide against the union printers , bu ho could not do otherwise if ho made an , decision , because it would involve sovora union newspaper oflicoa not using the aamo typo as TUP. BKK , am measuring in the same way. It wouli also involve the Edinburg typo foundry which is a recognized standard in Gro'a Britain and Canada. Mr. Mardor , the head of the oldos typo foundry in Chicago , pronounce TJIK BKK'H typo standard and the claim of the printers as groundless. Mr Marder ia interested in keeping Scotc typo out of America as it compotes wit his typo , and if ho could honestly gtv an opinion against it , it would bo to hi manifest interest to do so. The truth i the trumped up claims of our printer were not any hotter thun an attempt t obtain money under false pretenses. Mn. JOHN QUINN comes forward wit a letter in the Jlcpubllcan , defcndin the boycotting supplement to Swoosy handbill , and stating that it was publiol ed by the authority of the trades-uuionu Wo know Mr. Quinn to bo an audaciou and infamous liar. If the tradou-uuioi concentrated in that are quintessence o cunning and cheek knotm as John Quini then , of course , the supplement was pub lished "by authority" of Quinn. Thi men is nothing but a trickster , a ocll-oul i a go-between. Ho ia an agitator who : jwlll stir up trouble and strikes , and then stand ready to sell out his fellow workingmcn. Whenever the Union Pacific workingmen are stirred up , whether over t real or imaginary griev ance , the Union Pacific managers send for Quinn and endeavor to utilize him in their own interests and have him , if pos sible , quiet the workingmon. For such services Quinn ia well rewarded. The most of his fellow-workingmerr know his treacherous character and despise him aa they would any traitor. In the last Union Pacific strike John Quinn was very bold. The bosses at headquarters were just aa sore over the reduction of their own salaries as the men down in the shops. The bosses did not dare to strike so they gave John Quinn the wink , and ho wns n bold loader against the Boston capitalists. It ia that same sneak who talks about the BIK : m an organ of thoB. t M. railroad , when ho knows that it has no moro to do with the B. & M. than it lias with the Union Pacific. It is that same sneak , Quinn , who baa sold out the workingmen at nearly every elec tion. Ho is a nice man to go into print to uphold the villainous course of a gang of tramps , who protend' to act for the trades-unions , and commit all sorts of outrages in their namo. It is because just such fellows aa John Quinn thrust themselves forward aa loaders that 10 great body of workingmen of Omaha lava gone clean back on so-called work- ngmon's tickets in the laat two elections. A PttW I.TUS NAILKD. The bold and audacious attempt to lake the various trades-unions of this Ity responsible for the villainous work mt is being done by a half dor.on politi- al bummers and four or five tramp print- rs does great injustice to the masses of uochanics who belong to trades-unions , n the first place it in a brazen lie that ny trades-union , not oven excepting the rintors , has adopted boycotting reaolu- ions against this paper. In every in- tan co the cut and dried resolutions pro- ixred in the oilico of Hand- iill Swoosy , were put through under vhip and spur by a handful of men under false pretenses and without uo consideration or proper notlco to the raclcs organization in whoso name they roro published. There are scores of ospectablo union printers who denounce his whole business aa a shameful impo ition and contrary to old established Isaacs of the typographical fraternity , n the next place the self appointed com- nittoo of boycotters , have no authority whatever from any union to publish riminal libels in boycotting hand bills. Vho is this general committee ? Ed , Valsh represents the bricklayers' union , hick expelled him and published him aa scab and a fraud several timed. Walsh s not only a scab bricklayer , but a notor- oua political dead boat , who , ns copartner ner with John Quinn , has made a busi ness of dealing ia workingmon's votes. Bill White represents the moldors' union , . White has a grievance- against Tui ! ir.i ; for refusing to eupporthim for moni tor of the board of education at the re- ont election. If memory servos us cor- ectly , and wo generally have a very oed memory , a person by the name of KllWhitoinformodtho oditorof thib paper , woorthroo years ago , that ho and others iad arranged to blow up the Union Paci- 10 bridge and shops during the riot of 877. Mr. White ia cither a great blow- uxrd and liar , or a dangerous man. Win. Marrow represents the plasterers' union. Bio is also apolitical lunch liond , who has moro money for the gin-mills than ho has for his family. This man Marrow line several times solicited favors rom this oilico , and has never boon refused fused , but now ho shows his gratitude by plastering Tin : BEE with mud and illth. The telegraph operators , are said to ba represented by ono II. Johnson. No such operator could bo found Omaha. The telegraphers have not voted to boycott the BKK. The operators have always found a staunch friend in this pa [ > cr , and ita editor is now vice-president of the Old-Time Telegraphers' ' associa tion of the United Slates , to which posi tion ho was elected by the national con vention held in Chicago last September. Sam. Mahan , of thu printer's committee - too , is generally too full to know what ho Is about. Bad whisky has made him for getful of the substantial favors ho has ro ceivcd from this illico. P Brophy , boiler-maker , II. Wiggins , E. Lundbarg , tailor , and E. Aspinwall cigar-maker , who are also said to belong to the com mittee , are personally unknown to us They may bo gentlemen , but they are ii bad company , and should not ullon respectable craftsman to bo uaod as tool and cat's-tmws in a disreputable and ille gal pieceof work. In conclusion wo nail as a lie the charge that this paper is an enemy to organized labor. It is true that wo em ploy non-unlcn printers at present , bui no union man has boon barred out , When the BKI : advertised for non-unioi. printers it was compelled to do so by the reckless course of the leaders of the late strike. They nerved notice 01 union printers by telegraph , telephone phone and mail to keep away fron Omalin bccauso they would not bo al lowed to work in the BKK office. JIai the proprietors of this paper sent for union printers they would have comi here on a fool's orraud. Wo were coin polled to stop publication entirely or im < port non-union printers. This paper has never stopped publication since the firs day it wan issued , When the BKK was burned down iu 1871 by an incendiary , i appeared in half shoot the aamo ovcnint , and was the first paper to publish the ac count of the Dro. Wo never have missec on issue by strikes , and wo never shall * The demands of the printers were mi- ju t and outrageous , because they were } bisod ou downright fraud. It was * conspiracy to compel this paper to adopt ! IB ecalo of typo nisasure , which never hao I > ocn adopted by any other paper in \rnorica. It was just as outrageous as it would bo for cigar makers , to demand hey should count 75 cigars for 100 , or a demand from brick makers to count 1000 bricks as 1193. Thia is why wo have ro used to yiold. No honest worklngmon would expect us to submit to robbery. logucs and blackguards are respectfully warned not to meddle with the business end of the BEE , Mu.

Ho waa offered 8500 a week i > play the part of Buffalo Bill himself , but inung no confidnnco iu himself at the timn 10 refused it. During the Hummer nnd full of 872 , however , ho received numerous letters rom Buntl nn urging him to come east and 'o upon the stage. 'There's nonoy in it , ' vroto Buntline , 'and you will prove a > big ard , as your character ia n novelty on the tago. ' Bill finally consented , and , resigning dstoat in the Nebraska legislature , to which 10 had just been elected , thus acquiring the itlo of Honorable , ho took with him J. B. Jmohundro , otherwise known aa Texas Jack , md went to Chicago , where ho met Buntliuo iv appointment. Buntllno rented the Am- ' mithoatrp for ono week at six hundred dol- lira , paying half iu advance. He then or- ra-iized a company. This was all done on a Wednesday , nnd , the opening per- ormanco was to bo ou the next Monday night. That same day , In four hours , Uuntllno wrote the pjay , 'The Scouts of the L'lalna , ' and hud a force of clerks copying oil ; ho diileront parts fyr the members of the company. That ovoulna they began studying .heir parts and kept It up until Monday , a re- loarsnl being hold every morning. The rehear- mis were anything but fwccesstul. Bill nnd Tack didn't know their lines. However , the curtain rose Monday nvoning before a crowd ed house. Bulfulo Bill , Texas Jack , and Nod inntlino nppo.ircd us the stars. Financially ho performance was a big success ; artistically t wns a ilat failure. In the light with the In Jinna , however , Bill and Jack were nt homo.
