TUB scnlos of Justice have boon
knocked out of balance by the wind.
Tin's may tm regarded as n favorable
omen by the persons who hnvo boon in
dicted by the recent grand jury.
IT socms that the fraudulent money
changers are not all employed with Colo's
circus. The same kind of robbing busi
ness is carried on by the employes of
Don't * circus , which exhibited in Omaha
the other day ,
TUB AVabaeh ought to bo ono of the
"boat dressed corporations in the country.
It has about 050 uummor suits on hand ,
amounting to over $2,000,000. The re.
coivcr haa asked the aid of the court in re
ducing this oxtonsiro wardrobe of second
hand stuff.
Tun Aldrich family , which will soon
hold a convention at Saratoga , includes
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island and
throe judges , respectively of California ,
Georgia and Massachusetts , with many
men ( of considerable wealth. Dr.
Aldrich , whoso monument once orna
mented the Farnam Btroot pavement ,
will not bo thoro.
THIS numerously signed petitions of the
letter-carriers for nn annual vocation ,
which wore sent into the senate from
ovoiy city in the United States , have had
the desired effect. The senate bill grant
ing fifteen days leave of absence each
year has boon passed by the house. The
letter-carriers ought to bo happy now ,
particularly aa they lose no pay by taking
their vacation.
AT last the forfeiture of the Southern
Pacific lands will soon bo an accomplish
ed fact , as the house committee on pub
lic lands haa agreed to report a bill for-
foiling such portions of lands along that
part of the road which was completed
einco July 18 , 1880. By the passage of
ihia bill , about 5,500,000 acres will bo
restored to the public domain.
Tin : city council will sit as a board of
equalization on Friday , and asusual it will
provo nothing moro than a farce. Boards of
equalization , from the state board to the
town board , aru nothing but boards of
discrimination instead of equalization.
The board of equalization simply ratifies
iho work of the assessors , who , either
owing to negligence or laziness or a do
airo to mako' friends , have made returns
entirely out of proportion to the value of
the property , and which in no way represent
sent the increase fa values ot the improvements -
provomonts that have been nude in this
c'vty during the last five years.
Tun democratio national convention
promises to bo a sort of mardi-graa fcs
tival. Fifty Hoonlcra will appear at the
picnio in a uniform of navy blue cheviot
coats , white duck pantaloons , and helmets ,
and each will carry a bugle from which
at the proper time there will bo blown
blasts long and loud. This is but n Bam-
plo of the various uniforms that hundreds
of democratic clubs will wear. When
they nro all assembled in convention hall
the picture that will bo presented by the
roany-hued organizations will boar a close
resemblance to a crazy quilt.
UNDER the recent act of congress pro
viding for another bridge acroes the Mia *
Bouri river at Leavonworth , a company
has boon organized in that city for the
construction of the bridge , work upon
which ia to bo commenced at r < early
day. The officers and directors comprise
the loading buainosa men and capitalists
of the city. The president is oi-Unitod
States Senator Caldwell , By the way ,
what has become of the contemplated
company that was to bo organized for the
construction of another bridge at Omaha ,
for which a charter was granted by con
gress ? Has the enterprise laid down ,
and died for want of breath ; if not , wliat
ia the matter with it ?
IT was a lucky thing forthe Methodists
of Denver and Colorado that Mrs. lliff ,
the cattle queen , was captured by Bishop
"Warren. The influence of her eminent
husband has induced her to give $100,000
to Denver UnlvorBity for the purpose of
establishing a theological department , to
"be called the lliff School of Divinity.

RBMO vixa A CA USE OF DESEI
TION.
It haa long bonn the custom In the ro
ular army to employ the privates in va
ous kinds of labor without riving the
any extra compensation. This troatmoi
has boon ono of the principal causes i
the wholesale dosorlion that hasprovoilc
for several years. Recently an ordi
was forwarded to a frontier post to hat
enlisted men cut four hundred cords <
wood during the present summer an
within two weeks from the receipt of th
order at the post thirty.fivo mon desortoc
Officers of the army have always dopn
catod this policy of forcing soldier
to perform labor not contemplate
by the terms ' of their enlistment
but the imposition has boon necessary be
cauao congress has uniformly refused fo
aororal yoara past to make appropriation
for furnishing proper supplies. It i
now proposed to ameliorate the condf
lion of the prlvato soldier and ondoavoi
to remove the main cause of desertion
rho aonato has inserted a clause in tin
umy appropriation bill providing tha
mliatod mon detailed for extra duty ni
mechanics , clerks , laborers or teamster/ /
thall bo paid for such duty at the rate o
50 cents per day for mechanics , clorki
md school-toachora , and 35 cents pot
lay for laborers and teamsters. This
lay ia in addition to pay as proper sol-
Hers. The senate amendment approprl'
itcs $250,000 to pay for such extra work
n the future , and if it is retained in the
bill there will bo loss desertion horoaftot
'rom the ranks of the army.
XON-PAJITISAN DISPA TOUES.
GIUVK charges are preferred against
? IIK Bun by the self-constituted boss who
lappons at this time to edit the Jtcpub-
'can.Vo are accused of opposing
tlafno and Logan by the publication of
iapatchoa convening reports of bolters'
lootings and unfavorable comments by
lading papers and mon. Our special
ispatchea are said to bo identical with
IOBO" telegraphed to the Chicago Times ,
i independent paper , with democratic
itecodonts , which is opposing Blaine
id Logan. The headlines , over our tol-
; raphic dispatches , nro also objected to
i disloyal to the republican candidates.
First of all the BEI : is a newspaper in
10 fullest sense of the word Wo do
at proposa to garble our dispatches or to
ipprosa facts telegraphed to the press
( on if they are not in accord with our
alitical views. Among the 31,000 regu-
, r subscribers to the dailyand weekly BEE
icro are people of all shades of political
nnlon. There are stalwart republicans ,
) urbon democrats , independents , green-
ickors , monopolists , anti-monopolista ,
rohibitioniats , and free drinkers and
oo thinkers. Our aim is to keep those
joplo , and the thousands of others who
icidontally read TUB BEE on public
ighwaya and in public houses , fully in-
irmod about every political event ,
hothor it occurs at homo or abroad ,
at oven if all the subscribers to THE BEE
ore republicans , and had boon from the
itsot for Blaine and Logan , wo should
ill regard it as decidedly improper to
iblish only what is favorable to their
ndidatoa , and keep them in
tioranco about the ( opposition , from
ithinand without , by suppressing all
ifavorablo reports in the contents of
o dispatch.
Right hero lot us say that our special
spatchoa are made up at Chicago , not
am dispatches received by the Times
it from every medium which convoys
torosting facts not embodied in the as-
oiatod press dispatches. Our reporter
Chicago is a ropublicixn.but ho is in no
ay hampered by instructions from this
lice as to the political complexion of the
alter telegraphed by him. Our hoad-
10 writers may occasionally indulge in
nsation , and sarcasm , bub as
rule they are expected to
ako the headlines correspond
ith the contents of the dispatches.
It is true that wo have not soon fit to
inounco and blackguard George William
artis , Henry Word Bocchor , Carl Schurz
ndrow D. White , president of Cornell
> llego , Prof. Eliot , president of Our-
* d university and other independent
ckora who refuse to support Blaine and
igan for reasons which may bo frivolous
it which appear to bo satisfactory to
omsolvos. Wo don't believe that voloa
n bo made for Blaine and Logan by a
ad-slinging campaign , and above all as n
publican journal wo have always boon
iposod to gag-laws and coercive politics.
TOO MUCJf WATEJi.
Ono by ono the millionaires are going
the wall , and those who are yet conniv
ed solvent hate had their wealth onor-
ouslyjroducodby the shrinkage in the val-
ia ofstook. Ai a rule the millionaires who
, vo failed are the ones who have for
iars boon engaged in inflating values by
jooting water into stocks. Now that
u water is being squeezed out of the
ongo they are suffering the natural
naoquonco of their own acta.
The flrst notable falluro among thee
o great inilators was that of Henry
ill rd , who boguu Hfo [ with nothing
d failed for millions , but not without
: uring n "poor msn'o competency" fore
o rest of his days. His falluro uatur-
y involved others , who followed in hla
, ko in the cuurao of time. The Hat ia a

iga but bankers and brokers who have

iding strictly to legitimate business ,

have all followed in the wako ot dUasto ;
And now Commodore 0. 1C Oarrisoi
the great railroad king , brings up tt
roar. Ho was supposed to bo imprcgni
bio , and the first rumors of his financl
embarrassment wore indignantly doniei
Ho , too , has failed for millions , and h
failure involves the snmo old story of tl
shrinkage of valuoa in railroad stock ,
And atill another largo failure , that <
Morgan & Sons , is reported from No
York , and attributed to the same ctuis <
Throughout all these disasters Jay Ooul
haa hold his head above water , but thor
is no doubt that ho is a heavy loser wit
all the rest. It IB estimated that ho hn
oat fully $20,000,000 , or ono half of hi
ill-gotten wealth. Should the doprossioi
continue it would surprise no ono to sci
him , too , throw up the sponge.
The rumor that Central Pacific Hunt
ingtonia financially embarrassed , althougl
denied , as was the rumor concerning Oar
rieon , may after all provo truo. It can
not bo denied , however , that Huntingtot
ia a big loser , along with Jay Qould am
other railway kings. Huntington is tin
chief manipulator oi the Chesapeake <
Ohio , whoso bonds have within a week
dropped from 1 05 to 7C , the tendency
being still downward. Evidently we
have not soon the end of failures among
the inflationists and public plunderers ,
INDICTMEN1 AND IMPEAGH-
MEN1.
The position which the suspended
mayor now occupies with relation to the
courts and city council docs not Boom to
bo generally understood by the public.
Hie indictment by the grand jury and
the impending trial in the district court
ire proceedings entirely outaido of the ju
risdiction of the city council. As the
mayor bf Omaha , Colonel Ohaso is at the
lame time a citizen subject to the penal
ties imposed by the crimmnl code. The
indictment against him relates to his
: onduct as an officer , but had ho boon a
private individual the same charge might
lave been preferred , so far as it relates
o his being an accomplice with the crim-
nal classcn or levying blackmail upon
horn.
Judge Neville for technical reasons may
ot aside the indictment , or ho may grant
m oxtontion of time , or when the case is
> ut upon trial the jury may disagree or
ivon aqquit Champion S. Chase of the
hargo of bribery. But all this has no
elation whatever to the impoaohmont of
ho mayor by the city council. The im-
loachmont is an accusation brought
gainst an officer who is either grossly
icgligont in the discharge of his duties
r whoso conduct unfits him for the pub
ic trust. The object of impeachment is
ho removal of a bad or incompetent officer
nd the authority of the court of impeach-
aont cannot go beyond displacing him
rom office. The courts are charged with
mposing penalties for crime.
In the case of Mayor Ohaso the charges
iroforrod by the city council are drunk-
innosa , mental disability and corruption ,
f the charge of drunkenness is cstablish-
d the removal of the mayor will follow
s n natural consequence , whether ho is
onvlctod or acquitted of the charge of
ribory in the courts. If the charge of
runkonnoss is not established , and it
in bo shown by competent witnesses
; iat ho is mentally unfit to discharge the
utios of his office there will bo sufficient
luso for his removal.
The idea lhat the mayor will rcsumo
U office in case the indictment is dis-
u'ssod , or ho is acquitted on the charge
f bribery is simply preposterous.
The council has simply neglected toke
) ko action heretofore in regard to the
ad habits and mental disability of the
layor. Public opinion and the indict-
lent by the grand jury have compelled
: io council to begin proceedings for his
omqval. The outcome will depend on-
rely upon the ability of the council to
stablish any ono of the charges which
. has preferred against him.
THE approaching court martial of Judge
dvocato General Swaim is evidently
oighing very heavily upon the mind of
lat officer , and it is now rumored that
0 is exhibiting signs of insanity. It is
uito likely thai General Augur , who was
nco located at Omaha as commander ol
10 department of the Phtto , will bo ap-
ointod the presiding officer uf the court
mrtial. This rumor has brought out
? mo queer stories that are told about
ouoral Augur in army circles. One is
mt while commanding the department
f Texas ho invariably disapproved any
icommondation for clemency , and ap
roved every sentence by court martial
ismissing officers who were higher in
ink than members of his own family In
10 army. Ho gave up the command of
10 Texas department * , o accept the pros-
loucy of the board appointed to examine
ivalry officers for retirement , which was
1 soision for BO long a time at Forl
oavonworth. That department ia the
rgoat and moat Important in
10 United States , and haa
10 bulk of the cavalry
: m within its limit. There , it ia alleged ,
ia actions caused much surprise and
iminont. Ho has two sons in the civ-
ry service , and since his incumbency as
osidont of the cavalry retiring board an
lusual number of cavalry officers have
1011 dismissed or retired. Objection to
ugur sitting in the Swaim and Morrow
aca ia made on this account. The ar-
imont is that no officer whoso family
auld bo benefited by a diamistal of the
cuaod should bo appointed on the
iard. It ia a fact that about 350 fami-
IB now control a largo majority of the
200 commissioned positions in the regu-
r army ,

WEST OF THE MISSOURI.
The movements of the Union Pacifi
surveyors in Hamilton county , Nob.hav
mystified the country people aa well n
the inhabitants of towns through whic
lines have been run. Two surveys ar
said to have boon made from Stromsburg
the present terminus of the Omaha i' '
Republican Valley road , to Aurora , li
Hamilton county. Thcso surveys toni
to confirm the reports recently in circula
tion that the company contemplated extending
tending the Republican Valley road frotr
Stromsburg to Hastings , and thus sncusi
a share of the business now controlled
exclusively by the B . & M. The importance
tanco of such a line is app aront. Boaidoi
tapping throe of the boat counties in th
state , it would divide the business ol
Hastings , a city whoso growth and conv
mcrcial importance makes it an active
cival of Lincoln. A cluster of thriving
young towns already dot the proposed
route , while the southern half of Adams
md Kearney counties offer unequalled in-
iucomonta for a competing line of road.
The famed Republican valley would greet
mother road -with n liberal patronage. Its
instruction would divide the domain of
; ho B. & M. in the southwest , and offset
; ho division of the Union Pacific territory
ay the latter company. There is plenty
if room for both , and the rapid growth
) f the country'in population and wealth
vould give both a paying business.
Grand Island is not content to rest
vith the laurels won in securing the B.
tM. extension. She roaches out for
nero railroads to conquer , and casts a
onging eye toward the Chicago & North-
roatern , which the Independent confi
dently boliovea'willbo extended down from
Norfolk. It would require a strong ml-
roscopo to discover wherein the railroad
rould bo bonofitted in running from
ilissouri Valley northwest to Norfolk
nd then southwest to Grand Island. To
mild a line parallal with the Union Pa-
ific , ia not probable ndr would it bo
rofitablo. As corporations have quit
luildiog railroads for the benefit of
ommuuitica , it is moro likely and moro
a the interest of the company to push
ho extensions of the Blair reads , recent-
p acquired , into northwestern Nebraska
nd to the Black Hills , where a profita-
lo field awaits the coming ofa railroad ,
'ho ' Independent , however , assorts there
i good authority for the report that
lie road will bo built to that city and
urns up the advantages of the line aa
allows : "Thereiis no road loading to
Irand Island that is ag great a benefit
o the city and country as thatwould bo ,
'hero would bo no occasion to run an
mpty train into nor out of Grand Island

lunication with St. Paul , Minneapolis
ad the lumber regions , which would at
ace reduce tao freight , and conscquen-
y the price of lumber which at this
mo would bo an object of great interest
oth to city and county inasmuch as it is
) rapidly settling up , and as so much
nilding material ia in demand at this
mo and increasing every year aa the
nmtry is being developed. It would
ring us in close connection with the
: oat flouring iutoroats of Minnesota ,
lion give us an outlet by the extension

instruction of the Hartington branch ,
ionding through Dixon and Cedar
luntios. The line is direct , following

imiual grades. It is laid with cedar

The "Sconio Route ot America , " bet-
r known aa the Denver & Rio Grande ,
liich connects the Burlington route with
It Like City and the Central Pacific ,
in a demoralized condition at prcsont.
affiohoyond Denver is entirely BUB-
tided and all the Utah business Is trans *
Ted to the Union Pacific. The moiling
the snow in the mounU'ms formed
ghty torrents in the canyons , tearing
ay miles of the road bed , destroying in
ow hours work which required the
) or of skilled hands for mouths to no-
The greatest damage has boon
in the Black canyon. The river in th
atupendoui gorge ia deacribcd as a boor
ing , "seotninc rush of water , and tl
tracks , for miles at a time , are undi
water. In some places , for a distance <
aoveral hundred yards , the track at
grades are entirely missing , and the cano
presents the same appearance it did bi
fore the building of the road through it.
A gentleman just arrived at Denver it
forma the Mi-publican that the damag
there ia far greater than has been put
lishod. Trains not running this vreol
ho came through the canyon on foot , an
ho says ho would not venture the tr
again for a largo cum of money. Th
water came rushing through the canon i
deafening torrents , the volume of whlc
can scarcely bo imagined. Ho and hi
party picked their way along the proclji
itous sides of the canyon , around th
places where the tracks were washed on )
and at times waded over knoo-doop i
water which covered the track. In som
places the roadbed was completely washed
od owajr , leaving only the rails and seal
toring ties to span the chasm. West c
Montroao the line has boon consldorabl ;
damaged. Ono Bpan of the bridge eve
Greene river was washed out. This i
the largest bridge on the line , and is ;
soripus loss. The management ia doinf
all in its power to repair these inroads
but the work will take weeks of time t <
complete.
The discoveries of coal beds in the Gal
latin -valley of Montana , which havi
boon montlonod from time to time it
TUB BEU , have proved en dovolopmonl
to bo quito extensive and of fine quality ,
Among the rich deposits of the terri
tory there is none of moro lasting impor
tance to the cntiro people
than coal. Ono of the
ajroatost drawbacks to the prosperity of
tho'torritory has boon the scarcity of fuel
md U was greatly feared that on account
} f this apparent scarcity her growth anc
proaperty would bo materially impeded
rho recent discoveries removed all fears
from this source , and if all reports from
the coal region are not greatly oxapgora-
ted , the future of the territory is as-
iu red.
Recently now deposits of coal were
liicovorod but a few miles from the
banks of the Missouri river , known as
the Sand Gouloo minpa. It is said the
quantity cf the coal is fully equal to the
seat found in Pennsylvania. It is bit-
tuminoua in character , and the vein is
from twelve to twenty foot in dopth. In
; his particular it surpasses the soft coal
) f Ponniylvania , which is seldom found
n greater thickness than seven foot.
This mine is in every respect favorably
lituatcd : the faciltios for drainage ar ox-
; ollont ; it is easy of approach by tunnels ,
lallways , etc , , and is not so far removed
'rom railroads and waterways as to rend-
sr it useless. It is but eight miles from
ho Missouri river , and it ia thought that
yith proper machinery coal can bo mined
ind laid down on the river bank for a
ew cents a bushel.
Should thcso mines develop as they
LOW give promise of doing , Montana will
eon bo perfectly independent in the
latter of fuel , and with this last obstruc-
ion removed will bo fairly started on
ho road to prosperity.
A dispatch from Ottawa , Canada , pub-
shod in thoao columns on the 20th ,
bated that the Canadian , government
ad consented to a modification of ous-
ims regulations so aa to permit Amori-
m cattle to bo shipped' ever the Can-
dian Pacific railway. The dispatch
bated that this concession was made on
ohalf of the cattle ranchers of Wyom-
ig and Montana , the Canadian Pacific
lilway authorities presented to the min-
itor of customs the propriety of allow-
ig cattle of the western states and terri-
) ricB to bo carried through Canadian
erritory in bond for export. The Wy-
ming an d Montana ranchers propose
itoring atock at Cheyenne and Ft.
iTalah and from the latter point driving
ipm to the Canadian Pacific railway for
lipmont , thus making Montreal the cat-
0 market of Montana and ether western
atea. From Wyoming the Ohoyonno
lippors will send cattle by way of
maha , through St. Paul , Duluth and
lonco to Montreal.
The present and prospective benefits of

"Tho plan of shipment nbovo referred to
IB two advantnges. The first and chief ono ,
tint whereas now the manufacturing classes
England and Great Britian goncrally pur-
taso tha attauuatod Irish cattle or the Am-
icnn dead moat , paying therefore about 8100
r 1,200 pounds of meat , they can receive fat
ig edlblo American cattle , and the breeders
id shlpporg of cittlo will receive the
onotary advantage. It la estimated that
, o net profit to a "hippor in Wyoming will bo
tout $70 again of f-5 ever the present method
shipment.
"Tho proposed route ia from Cheyenne to
irmlia. thence to St. Paul , and llnolly to Du-
th by rail ; thence by lake transportation to
leomn ; and thence on the Canadian Pacific
llrood to Montro.l or Quebec , 1'rom either
thuso poinU which ia made the final unload-
g station on this continent , the cattle will
taken on uhlnboard and conveyed 10 LIv-
pool to bo distributed throughout Great
'ttaln. "
It is possible that a few favorites in
'yominfj may bo benefited by the goner-
ity of the dominion government , but
tiy such a roundabout route as the Cana
an Pacific should bo selected can bo
: plainod on the ground that the
i varnmentia interested in the roadand is
ixious to boost its business. A shorter
id bettor equipped route in every re-
oct ia that by was of Chicago and Do-
pit. It would not bo in hooping with
ith Canadian selfishness , however , to
icourago business on the Michigan Con-
ill , or Grand Trunk road , because they
o largely owned by Americans. But
o Canadian Pacific ia the nuraling of the
ivorntnent , fed on official pap , and nat-
ally every effort will bo made to ascuto
o drippings of American commerce to
crease Its income. The scheme will
eve barren of results. The shipping of
ttlo to Duluth , and from there to Thun-
ir bay , to connect with the Canadian
icific , would be a waste of from two to
ur days ever the present routes to the
aboard. The gain in rates , if any , would
lost ill the losa of weight of Block and
o increased expense of attendants. The
inadian concessions , however , may bo
inoficial to the few cattlemen of the ox
smo northern portion rf Montana , who
uld drive their herds quicker to the
inadian Pacific than to the Northern
aclfio. But there ia no immediate or
mote danger that th o cattle market of
raorica will bo transferred from Chicago
