THE Chicago papers that have boon
advertising that clly as a Bummer resor
are novr just as the season Is closing
turning their attention to that ttngnau
and putrid body of water , known by ( ho
dignified nimo of "tho Chicago river , '
Into which the city's sewaga la emptied.
IT has been dlssovorod after all awe
wo are informed by a B. & M. official
that the atone that Is being used in the
hoadqu uteri building wai not dressed by
convicts , but by union labor In Chicago.
Nevertheless , the bricklayers of Omaha ,
who struck upon Information loading
thorn to believe that it was convict-cul
stone , have convinced contractors that It
will ba useless to introduce convict btono
into this city.

Not long ate ; twenty thousand celestials

Both reports evidently emanated from
some lying Chinese news reporter , who is
endoavlng to build up a reputation In
hopes of having his salary raised.
Tnc dilution ia Spain , aa depicted In
cur despatchesIs certainly heart-rending ,
and It la growing werao from day to day.
The mortality is perhaps unprecedented
in the history of the plague from the
earliest times. The cholera has found
Spain a very fruitful Sold for its ravages ,
owing to Us InoQhiont drainage , and
the reckless disregard oE the laws
of health. Owing to Ignor
ance and prejudice of the great
rasas of the population the authori
ties have had the greatest difficulty in en
forcing sanitary regulations , which in an
enlightened country like the United
States would bo voluntarily adopted with ,
out any hesitation upon n mera sugges
tion. The pestilence Is opreeding rapid
ly throughout southern Europe , particu
larly along the Mediterranean , while It la
slowly wcrklng northward. The indica
tions are that It is likely to make Its ap
pearance any day upon the Atlantic sea
board of this country , unless the greatest
precautions are taken. The tlmo for san
itation is not after tha plaqna comes , but
before , and it Is hoped that every city
In the land Trill at once thoroughly clean
up , and keep itself in a cleanly condition.
IN a recent iisuo of the BEK there appeared
poared a letter from our Lincoln correspondent
pendent making various charges against
Chester B. Davis regarding bla profes
sional competency and skill a ? a civil en
gineer , and alto his business mothoda.
The letter was published In the belief that
a oarvlco was being done for the public
good of Lincoln in warning it to be care
ful to whom It lot contracts , Slnca then
wo have bson convinced that Injustice
wisjdone Mr. Davle , a thing which
tha BEE regrets , as it la not
oar Intention to knowingly and
wilfully do injustice to ary one , In
letter which Mr. Davis publishes in th's '
liaso of the BEE ho mains a showing In
LU own bshalf altogether dift'rant from
that which was presented in our Lincoln
correspondence. Wo iiavo roitou to bo.
llvo that the statement ] of Mr. Davis are
true. Ills former employers In Omaha ,
tbo waterworks company , speak in high
terms of him , both at to hla professional
ability and his personal Integrity. The
cUy authorities of Lincoln , who have
carefully Investigated the charges inado
agdnct him , are satisfied that the BEI :
via mistaken in regard to him , and tboy
have tince czpretsed their c.nfidcusa iuji
Mr. D&\li by awarding to him the con- jt
trao. for rutting in a tyslem of taultaiy It
sewerage. ' I
DOWN WITH THE FENCES ,
It ia estimated that them are ovc
4,000,000 acres of the public domain I !
legally fenced In by the catUamon , I
Nebraska the Brighton Ranch compan ;
fcai 125,000 enclosed ; Coe & Carte
have fitly miles of fence ; J , W. Wlleo
ha forly miles ; J. W. Boslcr , twenl ;
miles ; the Kenneboo llinch company ha ;
from 30,000 to 00,000 ncros ; and the Dako I
Stock compsny has 00,300 acres enclosed
Trlth fort-two mlleaof fenca. Accord
Ing to the reports of special agents
the Interior department , fraudulent en
tries of land have been extensively mrd
within the enclosures by the procure
ment and in the Interest of etockmer
largely for the purpose cf controlling th
sources ef water supply. Jt ha
been stated from tlmo to tlm
that the lands thus enclosed are no
fit for agricultural purposes and neve
will bo iaken for homestead purpose
This may ba partially or wholly true ii
aomo sections of the west , but It is no
trno with regard to Nebraska. The land
in thla state are nearly all In demand b
homesteaders who have boon provonte
by throata and force from taking n
homesteads In tint quarter of the atal
whore these illegal enclosures exist ,
la shown by extracts from letters and reports
ports that thla fencing In of public land
la an Injury not only to the settlement o
the country , but to the farmers , wh
have precisely the same right to run thei
cattle on the government lands as ih
companies which fence them In , and also
it appears , thcsa fences are an obatructio
to highways. As long ago aa April , 1881
the attention of the intotlor departmon
was called , by a mail contractor on th
ronto from Plum Creole to Arnold , t
the following condition of affaire :
"In the Loup River Valley , of Custc
county , Nebraska , nro largo cattle ranges , en
closing hundreds of acres of government lend
\\ith barbed who , regardless of section o
oven township lints , and I must drivi
through such gates aa they choo3otoputupi ,
order to get to the post oflloes , hating of to :
to leave unruly horsoa to open and shut thol
eo-callod gates in all sorts of weather. W
I wish to know I ? , can I compel those parties ,
through your aid , to open section lines am
let mo through without going several mile ;
out of my way ? '
The demand for thcsa Illegally-encloac <
lands is shown by numerous letters to thi
Interior department , of which the follow
Ing is a fair anmplc :
BKLLNOD , Neb. , March 19,18S3
Sir : There are thousands of acres of pov-
orumcnt land north of Ogallala , on North
Platte river , good for farming , and I have
twenty-five or thirty farmers that would like
, o Baltic there , but the cattle men hive fifty
rnllea fenced up on Healy creek and the schoo !
and alao , Now , to settle on and farm th
and must wo fight thorn with Sharp's , < 15 or
will government protect us ? I mean business
J. JCDEVINE.
Thla land I can irrigate all of it from
3edar and four other crocks that coma out ol
sand-hills from the north.
The immense tract enclosed by the
Brighton ranch company Iccludea valu
able farming lands , and a report of a
pociil agent is on file in the interior do
lartment to that effect , Mr. Virgi
Allyn , manager of this ranch company ,
wears that the lands are non-productive
and unfit for agriculture , and only fit for
tock raising. Inasmuch aa tha lauda are
ocated In the Loup valley , it ia only
necessary to say that Mr. A Ilyn either
iocsn't know wh&t ho is talking about or
Iso ho has wilfully misrepresented the
ands.
Under all theoo circumstances the
iroclamation of the president , ordering
enforcement of the anti-fencing law ,
has been hailed with delight by the
.honeands . of homesteaders who have
up to this time been prevented
rom locating npon them. It certainly
was high time for the lasuancn of such a
proclamation , and the homesteaders cm
hank Senator Van Wyck , first , for his
ilorls in eocnrlng the anti-fencing law ,
and second , for hla persistent urging of
ho president to have it enforced. The
ircsidont has ordered that the fences
should bo removed forthwith by the fed'
oral authorities , If not a1- once removed
> y the trespassers themselves. Has
Jnitcd Statoi Marshal BIcrbower taken
any steps in this direction in com-
ilianco with the president's peremptory
mandate ? , If not , wo would , in behalf
of the homesteaders , like to know the
eason why ? Ho la the officer In when ;
lands the execution of the president's
order has been placed , nnd ho is ( empow
red to uao the military , if necesiary , to
emovo thofencsa. Thcro ia no reason
why these illegal obstructions should remain
main another day upon the publla do
main In Nebraska.
WANTED MORE MANUFACTURES
In order to sustain a largo population
Omaha must have more manufa'cturoi.
She has made a fair start In that dtrcc-
lon , and nearly every manufacturing
and industrial concern that has been 01-
abllshcd In thla city has proved a suc-
co8 , Thla ia true of the smelting
work ) , the llntoad oil mil ) , the distillery ,
ho breweries , the nailworks , the shot
owar , tha white lead works , carriage
astorles , cracker factory , and other in
solutions , many of nhloh wcra stnitcd
at an unfavorable parlod , when coal and
abor wore high , tha atate w
hlnly populated , and our rc- (
ourcca only partially developed.
? ow fuel and hbor are obosp , the
lly has a population of 00,000 , end will
eon have 1CO.OOO , while the atate has
over 700,000 and is bound to have a mil- ,
Ion before 1890 , and it ii tioh in agricul- )
ural resources. Under theto clrcnm- ;
ta cos Omaha certainly affords a splendid
eld for a jjrejt variety of manufacture ,
nd there , is no good reason why wo
hould not have them within the next
wo or three years. All that Is necessary
la a proper effort to induce manufac
ture to locate in Omaha. Thin ia a duty
that devolves upcn the board of
trido. That body should thor
oughly discuss this subject and nrJop
some fiystunttio moans of Inquiry urnon
cattorn manufacturers with a view t ) ns
certain wh&t encouragement is necessary
to induce each aa wo want hero to locati
in Omaha. The board should clevis
some moana of setting forth our natnra
advantages and especially our auperlo
location , commanding , aa it docs , a vat
extent of torrltoty. Some very cxtenslv
manufacturers might bo found wh
would bo willing to como to Omaha
some beaus , sufficient to cover the ex
pcnso of removal , were given thorn. Sue
a , bonus , In the case of n manufacture
employing a hundred workmen
would provo a profitable Invca
ment. This plan has boon cdopto
by other western cllloi , notabl
Kansia , City and St. Joe , the latter
which la about to give a bonus of $40,00
to an extensive stove manufacturer i
consider tion of his removal from Qalncy
Illinois , to St. Joo. Besides endeavor
Ing to iaduco eastern manufacturer to
como to Omaha , our board of trad
should agitate the organlzitlon of mnnn
factoring companies among our horn
capitalUta , who , if they combine , ca
acnompllah wonders in this direction
What has been done so far in Omaha lu
been the result of the efforts of horn
capitalists. There is very little foreign
capital Invested in the mauufaoturlu
and industrial Institutions of this city
In this respect Oanha Ia nnliko Xanin
City , Sr. Paul and Minneapolis , in whlc' '
pltcaa thcro Ia an enormous amount o
eastern capital invested in factories , mills
packing houses , bjnks , and wholesal
houses
Among the industries whioh one wouli
naturally cnpposa would pny In Omaha i
the manufacture cf flour. Strange as i
nny necm there Is not a flooring mill In
Omaha. Wo ship onr wheat to the cast
aud import our flour , thua pjylng i
donblu freight tax on the bread wo oat
while the fact is wo ought to manufacture
ture- not only flour for home consump
iion but for export. There ia
splondod * market for this produc
throughout the vast territory to the wes
of us. If extensive mills can bo opcratec
at Schuyler , sovenly-fivo inilea west o
UD , whore the shipping facilities are no
equal to those of Omaha , and where fue !
ia higher , it would seem that flouring
mllla ought to provoprofitablo in Omaha ,
where we have good clavator accommo
dations affording ample opportunity for
the selection and purchase of saitabl
whoat. Nebraska spring wheat Is rankec
amcng the best raised In this country. I
ia largely shipped io Minneapolis anc
there made into "winter whea flour or
shipped oist from there as Minnesota
wheat. Water-power la not necessary for
the operation of flouring mllla. Steam
la now being used as the motive power h
some of the Minneapolis mills. It
therefore strikes us that & largo steam
flouring mill would pay in Omaha. It is
an enterprise that cortiinly ought to bo
ijlven a fair trial. The same is true ol
an oatmeal mill. Nebraska raises oats
in nbundonco and of the best quality ,
acd yet wo keep on exporting them in
stead of utilizing ; them at home. Oil-
meal Is a popular article of food , and its
manufacture Is said to ba quite profitable.
Instead of importing it wo ought to bo
manufacturing it for the trade that is
tributary to this city. That can
nlng establishments would yield a
handsome return on the capital
invested there Is no doubt.
So also would atarch frctorlos. [ Nebraska
ranks first among the corn states , yet
thcro Is not a cunning cMtablhlimont or a
starch factory in her commercial metro
polls. Nebraska ii a great sheep raising
state , but there Is not a woolen mill in
Omaha. Our wool is all sonb east and
the tariff npon this product is ( imply oub-
ragoons. If a woollen mill were started
in Omalia it would not only provo profit
able to Its owners , but It would bo of In
: alculablo benefit to the farmers of this
) Ute ,
Another industiy that would find a
jplendld opening hero la a tannery , now
that stockyarda and slaughter houses have
been established , and there is an abund
ance of hides. Thero. are several other
Industries that could bo ettabllehod in
connection with the stockyards.
Thceo are a fair of the industriex that
ought to bo started In Omaha at an early
day , and it ia hoped that the board of
trade will bestir Itself in thla direction.
It ia n waste of time to wait for the rail
roads to do anything towards building up
this city. Let us develop our own re
sources , and when wo have done that the
railroads will bo only too glad to secure
the friendship of Omaha by fair treat
ment , which la all wo ask.
IT now transpires that the reason
given by Austria why she would not ac
cept Mr. Kelley aa the ministerial repre
sentative of th ? United Statoa is because
hla wife is B Jovrosa , and therefore not
admlstiblo to Austrian social circles. As
Mrs. Koiloy Is not the minister of the
United States , and ai Mr , Koiloy was
tent to Austria to represent its business
Interests and not its social or religions in
terests wo must esy that Austria has gone
considerably out of her way to find an
an excuse to reject the unfortuoato gin.
Ionian , and r.t the eamo to insult
a lar o class of American citizens on ac
count of their religion , By reason of
Austria's flimsy excnse there is a strong
reaction in favor of Koiloy , end tbo ton-
lmant that Austria must acojpt Kellcy
r no cno is dally gaining ground , It is
o bo hoped that tha administration will
lomonstrato to tha American people that
t has as much backbone on this question
13 It has shown In uoma other matters rt-
lently. Ia the United States a man's re-
Iglon not questioned , neither is that
if his wife. Everyone has the right to
lallcvo and practice any religion that ho

aln'.y ' la an act of itnpu'ent '

and make her belief In the Jewish fait
the ground for rejecting her husband
It Is reliably stated that Secretary Bay
ard hiia written to Emperor Franc :
Joseph a letter informing him that th
republic not only doca not roccg&izs , bu
has a profound contempt for race or ro
llglocs distinctions ; that , not rocognlz'.n
them oumlvos , wo cannot ba expecte
to consider them , for the purpose o
humoring other people's prejudices. Mr
Koiloy was appointed on account of h1
personal fitness for the
placet If ho wcr
ditqnallhod in any of the waya recognize
by t liberal and enlightened people , th
United States would bo glad to raca
him ; but under the clrcumstancea thi
government would almply Instinct not t
go to Vienna. Mr. Bayard furthcrlntl
mated that while the Austrian ambaosa
dor would ba treated with social and of
ficlal courtesy ao long aa ho romaine
here , the United States governmon
would not bo offended if that gontloma
were oallsd homo. So far the ntlltud
taken by Secrolwy Bayard ia worthy o
commendation , and no doubt will ba on
dorscd by the American people.
