Weaver , republican , received a majority

THE mayor of Now York has prohibit

on the ground that they are demoralizing
nnd differ in no drgroo from prize fights.
The uinyor has boon a long time in com

never too late to mend. It is to bo
hoped , however , that the mayors of all
the largo cities will follow the example of
the Now York executive , and put an end
to thcao evasions of the law which have
wonderfully increased in number daring
the past two or three years , and have had
an evil effect all over the conutry.
IK view of the fresh outbreak of cholera
in France , Secretary McCulloch has issued
a circular order in relation to the impor

which modifies existing orders on that

the order should bo strictly enforced.
Wo cnn batter afford to pay a higher price

imported rags.
PAUL DK OASSAONAO , the famous

endorsed by every republican
convention , and by the nationa
convention itself , were bull-dosed
brow-boaltn and threatened with a , ]
sorts of punishment , including oxeommu
nication from the party nnd politica
death , Mr. .1. S. Clarkson , who hai
bocn the loader of the Iowa republican
for the last four years , and Resumed to b
a dictator , was the most violent and via
dictivo in his denunciations of the Arthn
men , whom ho stigmatized aa traitora to
the party. Mr. Olarkjon reminds us
eor.ievrhat of General Popu , who had hi
headquarters in the Baddio and Rhoulor
"on to Richmond , " but who never go
there. Mr. Olarkson has led the part ;
from narrow escapes to defeat , and from
defeat to disaster , in his campiignn in th
political field of Iowa. List year h
led the forces of the republics
party into thu prohibition camp and came
very nearly getting the state ticket
snowed under. Nothing daunted , however -
over , thia arrogant would-be autocrat
appeared nt Chicago with the delegation
to the national convention , nnd by throat a
and bulldozing , whipped the delegates
into line for Blaine , The action of himself -
self and his principal lieutenants toward
the Arthur men was simply outrageous ,
and will never bo forgotten. His treatment -
mont of Arthur's supporters af'or the
convention waa as overbearing and lyran-
nicul ta that of the southern democrata
towards the republicans in the eolidaouth.
Having succeeded in nominating thee
: o Iowa covered with a blaze of glory , aa
10 imagined. But what was the rcault ?
Did Blaine avccp ; that state like a prairie
ire ? No , indeed. Ho received but n
raction ever 18,000 plurality , whilu
2arfield received n plurality in 1880 of
78,082. Wo venture to say that if Mr.
) larkaon iihould attempt to manage thu
olitlc3 of Iowa for another four years
hat state would go democratic at the
icxt presidential election. It ia about
line tlmt ho should etep dovrn
nd out to make place for
oadcra who can harmonize the
ariouo olomonta of the parly in that
ormor atronghold of republicanism ,
hlch ueed to send n solid republican
ologation to congress. What waa the
csult in thia campaign' ! In tbo first dis-
rict Hall , fusionint , waa elected over
Woolsou , republican , by a majority of
votcn. In the second district the fu-
Ion candidate , Murphy , defeated Shaw ,
opublican , by 4,375 , , Henderson , ro-
ublican , waa elected in the third dis-
rict , over Linohan , fusioniat , by 1,332.
'ho fourth district gives Fuller , ropub-
ican , a majority of only 270 , The fifth
istrlct elected the fusion candidate ,
Frederick , ever Smith , republican , by 0 ! )
otos. Weaver , the famous groonbackor ,
was re-elected in the sixth district
vor Campbell , republican , by 5G5. In
ho seventh district there were two ro-
iiibllcaiia , Conger and Smith , and two
usionists , McUonry nnd Kroidlcr , run
ning for congress. Conger was electee ! ,
laving received thu largest voto. In the
eighth district , Hopbuon , republican , do-
oatod Davis , fuaionist , by 2,373. The
Sinth district elected Lyman , republi
can , ever Pusoy , by 558. In the tenth
district Holme * , ropublloan , was elected
McCoy , fusioniat , by a email ma
jority. Strublo , republican , wns elected
n thu eleventh diatrlct ever Barbeu ,
funionist , by 0,700. , In the first di ? .
; rict , where the fusion majority was 7-1 ,
and in thu sixth district- , where
Weaver , fusionlat , received n majority
of 5U5 , there will bo contests. It will
bo seen that out of cloven districts , which
only n few yearn ago could ba depended
upon for overwhelming republican nm
jorltlca , four hayo bjon lost to the ru <
publican party. la tLia not n line com

la it not plain to every candid and nn

THE youthful amateur journalist who

For many years our youth have had i o

They have been taught that there Is no

luck , whereas the indifferent or bad man tl

In thia republic it aeeras io have been U'tl

THE PRESIDENCY.
The fcllicial count in Now York hao
been complrtod , but the result wa > nl-
ready anticipated. The democratic can
didates hare carried the state by a ma
jorlty of over 1,100 , find further contro'w
vcrsy ooncorning the count haa boon
dropped by thu national republican com
mlttec. With the electoral vote of Now
York in his favor , Grover Cleveland be
comes our next president. Although
elected by the democratic party , ho will
bo the president of the whole
United States , While hin accession
marks nn important political epoch in the
history of the nation , thu country itself
will regard it in no way as a menace to
ita poaio nnd prosperity. The A merion
people nro quick to adapt themselves to
changed conditions and circumstances
nnd wo hiivo no fear whatever that the
impending change will seriously oilocl
their material welfare.
As governor of the great atato of Now
York 1 , Grovar Olovoland has been In the
1i
main ; on honest , conservative and safe
executive. II is administration as gov
oC
crnor has been characterized by HI
absence of jobbery and extravagance
and it would bo unreasonable
to expect thftt ho will purauo a dlfl'oront
policy when ho becomes chief executive
of the nation. If ho has exhibited any
, undue and improper partiality it has
boon . . towards corporate interests and cap
italists. It la therefore natural to pro-
sumo that ho will not attempt to injure
or . destroy those interests by any policy
that would bo inimical to the industrial
and , commercial interests of the country.
While wo , in common with a largo ma
jority of the people of the north , would
ittvo hailed the election of James
Blaine and the continuance
of republican rule as more
satisfactory , wo propose to acquiesce in
ho decree of the majority of the whole

uidud and believe that the republican
andidatcs will yield aa gracefully to do-
oit aa do the magnet ! of

vill hereafter , na heretofore , continue to

ioa , and will not bond the pregnant
ingOH of the knee while thrift may fol-
ow fawning , wo accept the result in a
unnly spirit , nnd do not propose to arouse

where nothing can bo gained for the re-
ubllcnn party by such n course. When

THE FENCE QUESTION.
The nntional cattlonion's convention at
Chicago adopted a resolution to the of-
oct that it is of the utmost importance to a
uturo stock raising that some kind of
ormanont tenure boobtainod toHiograz -
nglandii ao tlmt they can bo legally fenced
n. This ia a stop in the right direction ,
n at present the stockmen have no right
o erect foiicen on the public domnin no
natlor.how valueless the lands nuy ba
,
or agricultural purposes. In these
eglons where the lanria are only
it for grazing , they have not been >
nterforrcd with , but in nome sections , °
especially in northwestern Nebraska , of
some of the uattlemcn have inclosed
nnda that nro really desirable for f.vrmo , in
and coiiBcquently they now find themselves - to .
solves in [ ; trouble m the homostcndera
nro moving upon thorn and demand that
they vacate the turritory which llioy un
lawfully hold possession of. That the
cattlemen who have enclosed largo tracts
of farming laud in that part of the state
will have to take down their fences there
ia no doubt. Wu believe that the
stockmen should bu permitted to lease
and fouco their rangoa In regions
which can never be utilized for ngrlcul
hire , and thu resolution of
the convention to ask congress
for favorable legislation on this matter is
eminently proper. The stockmen are
eager either to buy these laud a or rent
them for n term of yoara. At the same u
time they ore willing , If permitted to bi
rent , that the rentals shall not interfere
with existing laws for pre-emption or
homoiteads , the rentals being subject to
such entries. Nothing could bo fairer
than this. If wo understand this propo if
sition correctly , a homesteader would bo
permitted to make an entry upon a cattle
range that was rented and en
closed , aa the stockmen would toke the
lands subject to such action , They can
safely do this in moat grazing roglonp ,
especially , in Wyoming , Colorado. Now
Mexico , Idaho , Arizona , Montana and
Nevada , in which sections of the country
there ia but very little funning laud , and
ia not likely that homesteaders will
;
ever disturb the stockmen in those locali
ties. The cattlu interests are certainly
among the moat important In the coun n
try , and if tnoy can ba promoted in this no
way without any serious interfiironcj trith
the rij-hta nnd privileges of other * , it
certainly ought to bo done.

loons and road-house bara from which no
liceium las has been collected , and from
which no revenue can bo derived by the
county , which IIM loot in this way about
525,000. It certainly n an injustice to
the j eftloon-krepsra within the city limits
who nro compelled to pay § 1,000 license ,
For instance , in the southern part of the
city there are several saloons located just
within the limits , from each of which
the sum of $1,000 is collected , while
within a stono'a throw outaido the limits
are several saloons tlmt do not pay acent
although doing as much business as those
within the lino. Nothing could bo moro
unjust than thte , and the law ought to bo
amended so as to abolish the two-mi'.o '
bolt. If this were done there would bo
no trouble in collecting the $500 county
. .
license from the aaloon-kcoporo who have
taken advantage of this defect in the
lair. There hua also boon some question

LEADING THEM ALL
There is nothing so successful as sue
com. This is us true of the newspaper
as . of any other enterprise. There was a
time , loss than five yearn ago , when -wo
referred with great pride to the fact that
. ,
the circulation of the daily BEE had
mounted up to 2500 copies. To-day our
subscription ; books show that the BEE has
.
increased its daily circnlation by fully
.
2000 within leas than a year , as may bo
soon by the following exhibit :
Aggregate dally circulation , three
months ending November 15th , 1883 ,
0,120.
Aggregate daily circulation , three
months ending February 1st , 1884 ,
,
0,072.
Aggtegato dally circulation , Gvo and a-
half months ending July 15th , 1881 ,
7'J51. ,
Aggregate daily circulation , four
months ending November 15th , 1884 ,
8,182.
The above includoa both morning and
ovuning editlona.
. The following exhibit shows the growth
of the evening edition , which circulates
almost entirely in this city :
For three moiitha ending February 1 ,
1881 , , ' ( ,001.
For five and one-half months ending
July 15 , 1881 , 2,814.
For four inontha ending November 15 ,
1884 , 4,013.
With an aggregate dally circulation of
over . 8,000 the BHE has more than four
imcs the circulation of any other daily in
Omaha and very nearly if not fully aa
argo a circulation as all the dallies of
state could show combined. It may
appear incredulous , but it is novortholes
true that thia paper outranks in point of
circulation any daily published in the
states of Kansas , Iowa and Wisconsin ,
and In fact every paper published west of
Chicago and north of St. Louts except
these ' of Kansas City , ( Mo. , ) St. Paul
and Minnoapolio. Unless Omaha receives
very serious check in her growth the
BEE ' will outstrip its most successful con-
-omporaricB in these cities within the
icrt five years.

WHATEVER may bo said about the of
nugwump press , it would have been
nuch more prudent for the republicans
o have hooded what it said than to
lave defied it. It will bo romoin-
orod that General Anson McCook was
ono of these who resented the conduct
Curtis and his associates , the inde It L
pendents , in n letter which he published
the Now York Tribune. In response
° thia letter the Now York Jteenlng
Post made the followinc reply , which , in of
the light of subsequent events , la shown
i have bocn worthy of consideration.
It may be true , as General McGook
euys , that a refusal to support the nom
inee ia "destructive of party discipline
and party organization , " but there is one
thing tlmt is still more destructive , and
tlir.t ia thu nomination of candidates who
cannot bo supported , Mr. Blaine was
thu only candidate at'Chicago whoso
nomination was held by a considerable
body , or by anybody , to bo iusuppnrta-
blu on moral grounds. Thia was known
to hia frlonda and to all of them , includ
ing General McCook. They were amply
warned beforehand. There waa the der
whole country to choose from. They to
chose the only candidate whoso name
was aura to causa a revolt. Therefore
upon them rusts the responsibility of the
bolt , and it would bo far bettor for Gen
eral McCook , and all like-minded delegates -
gates to retire into a closet and devote an
hour to earnest aelf-exrininatlou than to
cavil at Mr. Curtis for doing what they so
had every reason to suppose ho would do
Mr. Blaine was nominated.

-"General llaruoy gained consider
able notoriety on account of tbo Asl
Hollow affair in the summer of 1855 , '
continued the old settlor. ' 'If I romom
bor correctly , it was in the month of Au
gust , 1854 , that some bands of Dakota
Indians were camped about eight miles
from Fort Laramie , awaiting the arriva
of the agent to distribute to them their
share of a fifty thousand dollar annuity.
While thus encamped , a Mormon train
passed by on its way to Utah , and a cow
belonging to the train , loft the road and
wont into the Indian camp. This cow
was killed by aomo of the Indiana. The
Mormono , on arriving at the fort , report
ed the fact , when Lieutenant Fleming ,
who waa in command , ordered Lieutenant
3rattan , with : i file of soldiersto proceed
to the Indian camp and arrest the Indiana
who had killed the cow. At the time
there were but few troops at Laramie ,
and nearly one-half of these were absent
on the Plntto river cutting hay. Lieuten
ant Urattan took twenty-nine men and
in interpreter , and act out to execute
the order. Ho for.k with him , also , two
liecca of artillery. Upon arriving at the
.rading post , neai1 the Indian camp , the
trader advised him not lo enter the camp ,
and proposed that ho would go In and
bring out the chief to see Gr.ittan. The ?
lieutenant replied that he hud como to
arrest the parties who had killed the cow , ma
and ho proposed to do so. The in
terpreter , who was moro or Irsa under
the influence of liquor , acted in a very
indiscreet manner , and told the Indians
that the soldiers had como there to cut
out tbelr d d hearts if they did not gtvo
Up the pirliea who had killed that cow.
Thin the Indians refused to dp , where
upon the troopa unlimbered their cannon
and fited them , aa well as a volley from
their muskets. They killed one Indian
and mortally wounded several moro be
longing to u band of Brulo Sioux , when
the Indiana became aroused , nnd advanc
ing towards the troops , the latter re
treated. The Sioux followed them up
and killed every ono of them. Without
waiting any longer for the arrival of their
agent , they went to the warohouio near
by where their annuity goods were in a
store , took them , and separated for their
homes. Although able to have stormed ?
Fort LiramtP , they made no attempt 01 '
that kind. On account of this affair , '
congress authorized an addition of
three regiments to the regular army ,
and then General Hartley's Sioux cxpodi-

General Ilarnoy received a great deal of :

CHANGES.
Tlic Now Faces In the Nc\t Congrcsti.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore American haa written an inter-
eating resume of the changoa mode In

Reference haa already been made In \
hia correspondency to some of the fa

six years in congress , during which time
