TKN thourand democratic warriors nro on the ground , but Orover Cleveland is ntlll a thousand miles an ay. Mr. . AIITHUU steps down to-morrow. Mr. Olovoland takes the presldentia1 chair. The klug is dead ; long llvo the king. _ Ui'ON the subject of cabinet appoint ments Mr. Vilas dooa not dare to open his month , for fear ho might put his foot In it. . WK observe that the collar-mskera of St. Lonls have struck. The railroad braas-collar makera continue in business at iho old * Und. MONEY is the root of all evil , and sil ver money ii the cause of considerable democratic trouble juat now. Cleveland did It with his silver letter. Tnn Illustrated press has boon puzzling the public wllh Illustrated back vlowa of Cleveland's cabinet. Within the next forty-eight hours the plotorlals can glvo ns the front view of the sovon-up crowd. TIIEKIC are any number of men willing to .servo the city In the next council at 6500 a year. The only trouble is that most of those candidates are cheap men who ezpoot to make a living out of the oflico. THE oourtosy extended by President Arthur to his successor ought to bo ap preciated. Ho has called the senate to gether at noon to-morrow so that Olovo land may at once sand In his cabinet ap pointments. If wo remember aright , Bu chanan did not do as much for Abraham Lincoln. alv G rover Olovoland adopts a policy of gallantry towards the fair sex , it is safe to eay that the venerable Ool. Oonzins , United States marshal of St. Louis , will bo allowed to retain his position In order that Phoebe Oouzlns , who la hla efficient deputy , shall not be disturbed. GIIOVBR CLEVELAND not only proposee to pay hla own railroad transportation tc 'Washington , bat refuses to say over which road ho proposes to travel. He evi dently docs not wish to oven glvo the . railroads the benefit of any advance ad- . vortiiiug that they might derive from hli patronage. SAM TILDEN will bo there , In all hi glory. Perhaps ho wishes to strengthen the impression that ho is the power behind hind thn throne , but Mr. Cleveland'i cabinet appointments would indicate that Cipher Sam Is not so much of i power ns oomo people seem to think. WE are glad to hear that Cleveland h a stubborn man , who is not likely t < yield to pressure. That depends , however over , upon the amount of pressure. I ho withstands ton thousand pounds ti the equoro inch , which Is about the prcs sure that will bo brought to boar upoi him , ho will go through the ordeal nl right. TIIE city auditor of Boston estimate that 12,2(51-180 ( will have to bo appropriated priatod during the Cscal year of 1885 G t defray the expenses of Boston and pa the interest on her bonded debt. Ii other words Boston taxpayers will hav to contribute several millions more I city taxes this year than the whol assessed valno of Omaha , TUB KB hundred Pollmen cars , fille -with democratic offico-aeokors , are e .route to Washington , whore they will b sidetracked and nsed for sleeping quai iru. tors by the occupants during the iuaugt ration. Thoao oflice-scekora are nil u.F louato exchange their Pall man bertha fc berths in Uncle Sam's ship of state , bv wo siupoct that a great many of thoi trill remain tide-tracked. MULE BAUSTJM presided over the don ocratlo national committee at Waihingtoi the main object of which was the dlaou eion of the part which the mombe ehould take In tha Inaugural ccrouionte and also the consideration of Mr. Ba mini's proposition to place seven mul in the parade. His proposition was vet < down on the ground tbat inch an oitenl tloui display of the mule power cf tl democratic party would ba too painful significant to the republican office holder jiud at the fame time it would bo Inoo ulstont with Jeffereonian simplicity. Tl mules will therefore not appear in tl piooossion , bt't will be brought into mo practical nsa at an early day. THE CHARTER 3UGBEAR. The false alarm raited by designing parties over the Omaha chatter amend ments forcibly recalls the methods and i tactics by which the constitution of 1871 was defeated. The provisions of that constitution with regard to corporations and monopolies were very stringent. The railroad managers and Linkers who wore anxious to have the constitution re jected , did not dare to show their hand. Their op an opposition would have bcon a powerful argumatit in favor or ita adop tion , So ttiey raised a false alatm over church taxation and woman suffrage. Preachers and prioits were nlroi to preach n holy crusade against the now constitution from the pulpit and rca'ram , j and Ilnming placards In all language a were posted all ever the ttito , headed "To Your Tents , 0 , Israel. " Eov. Gilbert Dclamatyr , the preacher politician , roared himself hoarao on the stump over the wicked conotltution , and after It was defeated the bankers and railroad managers presented him with a $1,000 silver service , as compensation tion for his valuable services. While the saintly hosts were engaged In battering down the church taxation , bugbear the brewers and saloon poopo ! were worked wlthfronz/ over woman suffrage Ger man agitators patd by the bank syndicate and generously supplied with passes by the railroad managers were dispatched to every Gorman settlement in the state to aronso the German-American farm ers Into active opposition. As a matter of fact church taxation and woman suffrage were not embodied in the constitution but merely anbmlttcd as aopnrato propositions. They could have boon voted down without Interference with the constitution. But that would not have served the corporation intcre t , The whole constitution was therefore rejected by faleo hsuea , No braaba was kept in swad dling clothes for five years longer , and finally $75,000 cad to bo expended for anew now constitutional convention. The hue and cry ever the charier amendments is raised by parties whoso interests clash with the public welfare. They dare not ahow their hand by dis cussing their real objection ; . They ahcd crocodile teara ever the poor workingman whoso homo is to bo confiscated and are awfully dhtrosaod ever the mo * mentlng bugbear. They ctoutly deny that they do not want the city authorities to regulate street railroads , Sta companies , electric light ; , telephone and other corporate property that derives - rives its patronage from the. taxpaying public. What , for instance , does Joseph Barker care for the overtaxed workingmen - men ? How much sympathy has he ever wafted on them. Why should Mr. P. J. Nichols who owns ) only a solitary lot in Omaha rave abont b that monumonting commission and spend I hia time and money at Lincoln trying to defeat the whole charter 1 la it not ludi crous to see such false pretenses sot up in an Intelligent community 1 PIUSON ABUSES. The horrors of the Siberian convict mines arc eolipsod by the developments that era being made regarding the treat ment of penitentiary prisoners In Tennes see. In a libel suit of the penitentiary officials against the Nashville Banner which made the exposures , ono witness testified that ho had Been convicts at Coal Crook cook and eat rats In the mines. Convicts worked In six and twelve inches of wn'.or eight hours per day , and also also labored Sunday nights. The mines were filthy , the air bad , the clothing " scanty , and the food insufficient. They were whipped for failing to complete tasks , and their cries were hoard seventy ; yards distant. Another witness , a prison doctor , testified that the convicts needed ' moro clothingthat the bedding was dirty and that the average num ber of deaths per month wo five. Still another witness swore that a convict , who had complained of being sick , was whipped one day and died the next. It was shown by the ovl deuce of a former prison doctor that frequently quently men were whipped two or throe times a day until their bodies were blis tored. While ho was on duty there were six convicts shot , several had their legi broken , and elx or eight had their feel and hands frost-bitten. Another wltnosi Bworo that ho caw the deputy warder , whip a convict until ho was exhausted and then the lash was passed to tw < other men , who tired thomrolvoi out it beating the victim. On another occa ; alon the deputy warden gave a eonvic tn thirty-five lashes. The evidence all tin rein way through shows that the convicts havi in : been treated in the most cruel and Inhuman ilo man manner , compared to which the dis oiplino and punishments ol the Siberia ! convicts are kind and gentle. It look as if the Nashville Manner wonld no Bn bo only establish Its case , but send th Inhuman prison officials to labo ir- u. for ft term cf years alongald tbo convicts which they hav For brutally maltreated , at least It Is hope ut that such will ba the result. The Jiannc utm his certainly done a great work in th causa of humanity by exposing the hoi > rlble treatment tbat haa been Inflloto upon tha penitentiary prisoners of tin state. It occurs to us that tha ss-callti , prison reform aisoolatlon of this countr is- DIB Is more of a theoretical than a praotici ee society , otherwise it ought to have dii ' ar' covered the abuses In the Tonnetse les prlsou and not have allowed a nowspapi > to have the credit of performing tin la. duty. Wo believe that thtra are otht ihe prisons In various atatcr , and particnla : iiy ly in the south , where convicts ere trea od inhumanly , bnt wo hope and' bellev an- not quite BO badly as they have been I Tennessee , There is a wide field for tl DJ.Q prison-reform asscciatlon , tf It still eiU moro thin In name , to effect much noede tcforraa. If the association is virtually defunct , wo hope that some nnlionnl hit- m no Bocloty will bo organized for the solo purpose of corroding .ibusos and bollorlngtho condition of canvlote. There nro mora or lets abuses in every peniten tiary and jail In this country , and It is only by nccldont tint they are discovered by the onteldo world and corrected. FENIAN MOVEMENTS. The idea of organizing a band of Feni ans in tb.ii country for the pnrpDto of joining the Mahdl aud driving the En glish out of Egypt is absurd on its face. The Rouornl publicity given to thotchomo shows that n few designing leaders sim ply want to feather their own nests by collecting a largo amount of money from the Irish working people who have so often been humbugged by loud-mouthed blatherskites into contributing to so-called "funds. " If these Fenian loaders were really in earnest and wanted to go to Egypt to join hands with the Arabs , they would organize quietly nnd secretly. Furthermore , they would not attempt to soil in a body for Egypt on nny ono vcs- eel , bnt they would go in small squads and singly. The moment that they should attempt to strut with a voisol , aqulppcd with arms and ammunltiouu of war , with a deliberate , hottilo design , it would bo the duty of onr government to seize the vessel in order to prevent this country from becoming involved in a quarrel with England. And again , if the Fenian craft should essapo such seizure It would novcr ba able to land its troops BO that they could roach the Mnhdl. It would bo certain to bo captured by English war vessels. No real friend of Ireland can BCO auy advantage to ba gained from such n fool-harjy ndvonturo , because It is begun gun in bravado and gasconade , and must , if actually attempted , end in a humiliat ing failure , as all other Fenian raids have resulted , nnd which have novcr done the Irish people any particular good. The object of the whole schemeoa wo have al ready Intimated , ia to establish a "skirm ishing fund" for the collodion of hard- earned money from the Irish workingmen - men and women In order to keep a lot of idle blathorsfittoa In cashB3 they can con tinue to aklrmisli around the bar-rooms of Now York and other largo eastern cities , and who will never join the False Prophet , except in their Imagination. They are only seeking the profit that arises from obtaining money under fa'.so pretenses. Ono of the sensible and practical waya to help Ireland in this country would bo to pay the passage of poorltish people to this country and give them a start towards earning an independent livelihood. Another way , which perhaps might bo iho most satisfactory , wonld bo to assist them to buy the lands In Ireland which tha landlords are required to soli. VALENTINE POSING AS AN ANTI- MONOPOLIST. The bill repealing the pre-emption , timber culture and desert land lawn came befcra the houeo yesterday on a motion to send it * to the committee on public lands. It is a homo bill with senate , amendments. In the course of a short debate Mr. Valentine , of Nebraska ; Mr. Perkins , of Kansas ; Mr. Converge , of Ohio , and Mr. Maglnnis , of Montana , opposed the motion and the bill upon the ground tint the measure had been framed and passed in the interest of railway corpora tions and cattle kings. The motion was defeated ICG to 93 there being less than two-thirds in the affirmative. If the laws In question could bo enforced , and if those who have come Into pos session of millions of acres of land by means of fraud and perjury conld bo punished , It would not bo advisable to enact this repealing etaturo. But abun dant evidence has boon laid before con gress to the effect that for years these laws hare existed mainly for the benefit of thieves , and that for reasons not fully ; explained it is Impossible to enforce them or to punish the guilty. By a fraudulent ; ass of the oamo laws the cattle kings have secured a firm foundation for their great ranges. In view of the ropoits made by tha land office It is difficult to regard the opposition of Mr. Valentino nnd his friends as sincere. New York Times , The idea of a railrcad capper , like E. K. Valentino , posing as an anti-monopo list Is simply the height of Impudence. Hoi any respectable number of settlers , over petitioned to have the timber culture and pre-emption laws continued ] Did not Valentino know that the tlmbor cnl- , turo act is a subterfuge for systematic ' and organized perjury ? How about the Stinking Water business ? How long age 11 Is it that the Stinking Water frauds it * this state , in which onr Jim Blndso WBI so conspicuous a figure , were exposed ani denounced by government officials ? Wh ) should the railroads want to repeal thi timber culture law ? If repealed , thi government would have no lands for sale Would not the repeal give thorn the ad * vantage of Bales by doing away with preemptors omptors ? Ia Valentine's object t < foster and atslst in the wholesale preemption emption by trained land-grabbers , whi nn 0 would make it a business to obtain gov ernmout lands and transfer them to out Dd side parties ? cr . THE gas cansumors of Now York ar r * jutt beginning to learn how they hav been robbed. It has been discovered b ; * the senate Investigating committee tha In 1874 while the gas sold at $2.75 pe per thousand feet , the cost wai $1.00 ; ii jal 1870-77 the coat was 85 cents , and th Belliog price was $2 50. In 1879 , whei 160 the piico fell to $1 50 , the cost was 8 er conta. In 1880 the prlco was raised t $2,25 , while the coit of manufactniiD ier was reduced to 52 cents , and the follow ' " Ing year to 49 cents. During the Ut thirteen yean the earning ) of the Mn vo tual company amounted to $7,760,027 , e ln which amount $3,525,000 was paid out i e dividend * : . Of the surplus over the dlvl l deeds U was ehown by the lnv etlgatlo ed [ nearly $3,600,000 which the law require the company to share with consumers by reducing the price of gas was tailed down by the company Itself in bonds and stocks. Since the comolidatlon cf ( ha various companies , although the prlco of gas has been somewhat reduced , f ho con sumers' bills era greater than ever , as the mcteri no doubt lave been niaio to reg ister fast to as to she ? a larger quantity of gas comumcd. The result is that the citizens of Now Yoik have organized a society to resist the extortions of the gas companies. GKOVBRCLEVELAND will register at the Arlington house upon his arrival at Washington , and ho insists upon paying for hia board , although ho will ba there only twenty-four hour * . Other presi dents have generally accepted all such hospitalities , but Cleveland , in his Jeff erson simplicity , boltevos In paying as ho goes. Ho has oven refused to take passes over the railroads for himself and family. Ho is no deadhead. If nil the future federal officers follow bis example in this respect , wo ehall have reform in ono di rection at least. THE domosratlc paity ia on Iho rim of the flesh pots. Another day it will help itself to the contents. Gimlcn Crops on the Farm Fnriu Gardening. American Agriculturist , The fanner who continues to ra iso the same crops that ho grew before towns nnd manufacturing vil'agos ' sprang up nil around him , makes a great mistake. In the older states at least , there are but few farms not within an hour's or two hours' ride of a market. It Is wor'.h while for fatmcrj in such localities , to consider if they can nlford to raise field corn when sweet corn will pay them much bettor. It ia true that sweet corn needs high manuring , but when tbo cars arc off there will be a heavy crop of the very best fodder. The ears will brlrg In ready money , just how much will depend upon the market , but eafo to say , moro than any crop of rlpo corn would bo worth. It ia n mistake to grow hto potatoes , to bo dug when every ono else has potatoes , and prices ara low , whila early potatoes will bring several tlmo3 the prlco of late ones. It ! s so with other erops. There nra bnt few garden vege tables tint nuy not ba grown aa farm crops , and it la a mistake to ralto farm produce tbat will boar transportation from a distance , Instead of that suited tea a near market and mutt ba disposed of at onco. A fanner , tn the other hand , wonld inako a mistake , woroho to devtta hia land to a now set of crops at once. He should determine to grow those things tint pay ilia best , and to gradu ally work into a moro profitable kind of farming. Tboeo who propose to do will find sweet corn and potatoes excsi lent crops to begin with. Others wi pay better , but these are best to prepare the land for other and mora profitable crops. It would have been better had the land been prepared for those last fall but a * this was not done , make it ready as soon as it ia safe to work it. II is no our object just now to giro directions for growing the crops , but rather to sngp-ca what may bo cultivated. Wherever there are manufacturing villages , early cabbages are always in demand , and brine good prices. Spinach Is another salable vegetable. Beets , parsnips , car rots , turnips , onions , etc. , as well as spinach may be sown In rows far enough apart to be worked by horse Implements. The distance betvreon the rows is to ba governed by the width of the horse-hoe or cultivator , which should close up as narrow as twenty inches , A market gardener sows such crops twelve or fifteen Inches apart , bnt the farm gardener has cheaper land , and can give moro apaoo If he can eave labor , and substitute horses for hands. These who propose to under take farm gardening , will do well to be gin with sweet corn and sweet potatoes , and not undertake other garden-crops until the land has been in cul tlvation with thcso tor ono season. An other wan to piepare the land for garden is , to plow , hatrow , and siw it to buck wheat. When this is in flower , plow it under and BOW it again to buckwheat. Tnrn this under at the proper time , and in September , or at the usual time , torr the land with rye , to bo plowed in next spring. The object should bo to bring tno laud , a few acres at a time , Into con dition to raiao any garden crops. The rapidity with which this can bo done will depend on the amount of manure at com mand for the purpose. It will bo worth while for all farmers , who ore within reach of a market , to glvo this subject proper thought , and bo ready to com mence the coming spring to make a farm . garden. A CurlouB Case. FHtaburg Dispatch. A novel incident which occurred to a stenographer of a New York court the otbor day , will raise - a cow point of law for the judges to decide. The stenographer had taken the official notes of a case tried In his court , trantcrlbod them , and placed the transcript and hi ) nctos in hia overcoat pocket. That night lie wont to tbe theater , threw his overcoat over the back of the seat , and the notes and transcript fell on the floor and were lost. There is therefore no record of the testi mony of the witnesses from which to make up an appeal , unlots the parlies can acreo to make It up from memory. The case is unprecedented , and the un fortunate stenographer IB in trouble lost ho bo mulcted to the coata of a now tore trial , should ono bo deemed necessary. Agreed nt Last.
