THE UTAH PROBLEM.
Senator Manderson Is now in Utah ,
where ho has been for eevoral days on.
gegod In studying the Mormon problem-
According to an interview In the Salt
Lake Tribune ho Is doubtful whether the
Edmunds law will bo found tffdollvo
enough to destroy the practice of polyg
amy , but ho has no doubt regarding the
proposition that the people of the United
States and their representatives in con-
gresj are determined that such legislation
shall bo had as will forever put an end to
polygamy. Senater Mandoraon thinks
theio Is no doslro on the part of congress
to interfere In the least with the proper
observance of the Mermen religion. Ho
expresses himself as stro&gly in favor of
additional legislation on the Utah ques
tion , and his observations and investiga
tions whllo in Utah will do donbt bo of
great ojsUtanco to him In discussing the
Mormon problem when it comes up for
consideration in congrois next winter.
His position is indicated oy the following
extract from his interview in the Salt
Like Tribune :
"I was one who supported the Hoar bill
last winter , believing it to bo a step forward
nnd being tired of the dilly dallying treatment
of this Utah question. I think it an actof
great cruelty to the Mormon people them
selves for the United States , In Its legislative
and executive departments , to trifle with the
matter of the extinction o ! polygamy. The
Hoar bill presented gieator vigor than the
present Edmunds law , and I therefore vottd
for it , and I believe that it or some other bill ,
moro effective , will bo passed by congress dur
ing the coming noealoa. "
THE BEE'S strictures upon Gon. How
ard were based npon the presumption
that the Herald's interview , purporting
to give his utterances upon the Chinese
question , was correct. Gon. Howard ,
Bjys that ho was not correctly reported.
Ho has no sentiments to express and takes
no sides in the controversy that Inn
arisen ont of the Rock Springs offilr. Ho
'a ' nlmply commander of the department
oE the Plattj , nnd hla duty la to obey the
Instructions of hia superiors and the war
department. There ia no truth , ho soys ,
In the otatemontjcrcdlted to him , that ho
Intends to concentrate : 3,000 men at
Rock Springs and other points. The re
porter asked him how many troops there
were In his department , and
ho replied that the aggregate
force was about ; 3,000 men. This la
the only foundation for that etory.
Gon. Howard states that the troops at
Rook Springs are really under the orders
of Gen. Schofiold , commander of the
division , to whom the officers report di
rectly. They are not there to overawe
the miners or anybody else , but to pro
tect the railroad property. Gen. Howard
construes tha ordera to these troops
to moan a protection of the mlneo
as will as other property , and guards
have accordingly been placsd over
them , as the railroad managers feared
that attempts wonld bo made to not iham
on fire. Gen. Howard , In correction of
an orroueous impression craatoi by the
Herald interview , says that ho knows as
well as anybody that ho ha-i bus no au
thority to use troops In Nebraska unloai
by direction of the president , who wonld
not act unless called npon by the gover
nor of the state , and then only after he
has been nnablo to maintain order. Gen.
Howard h no fear of trouble In Ne
braska , and does not wish to ba cona'd- '
ored an alarmist.
THE recent international ycoht race
boa BO demoralized Hew York editors
ihat they cannot dltcnas any subject
without dragging In nautical term ? . Ono
would almost think that the metropoli
tan scribblers were a sot of jollytars.
Even that scdato old land-lubber , the
New York J&vsning Poet , in dlscnsslng
such a dry subject as the tariff talks llko
an old salt , as follows : "Amid this con
trariety of opinion upon a mero-question
of fact , the parties have as much trouble
in getting started as the two yachts ln
the International ruco. There is not
enongh wind , and what wind there it
changes tco often. There la danger that
ono craft may inn into the other and
knock off ita bowsprit. No great herm
would remit If both should go to the bottom
tom , no they evidently will unleca they
can find acme laane appealing to the
necda of the people , and cnllstlrg tko
tbo support of the intelligent public
opinion. "
ACCORDING to a dispatch from Wash
ington the boys who are to have places on
tbo foica of cniolal messengers of the
Washington poatoffios will have to go
through a tort of clvll-aervlca examina
tion. Thirty-nine wore selected /com
the applicants who were examined by
Postmaster Conger , and they will bo ex
amined by the suporlntondent of the city
delivery aa to their knowledge of streets
and localities in the city and as to
their fitness for tbo nervlco
The final tolecllon of mcsongois
will bo baiod upon the result of this ex
amination. It Is thought that nearly If
not all of them will bo appointed to be
gin with , and after the service is started
tbo number will ba adjusted to meet the
requirements of the service. This
probably the plan that will ba followed
in all other cities fcaviog the special delivery
livery system.
UNDER a noir election la * in Canada

man. "I was traveling on the B , & M , road

the tupreme court , and the other two were
district judges , ono of whom was an nntl-

oamo along and said 'tickets , gentlemen' ,
theeo three judges presented annual passes.
What do you think of that ? Does that
look exactly equ art ? What were those judges
doing down at Lincoln ? The supreme couit
was not in session at that time , and the dis
trict judges bad no official badness thero.
But so long as they can travel on passes , they

tained permission to maka the following ix-
bract , which will no doubt interest Mr ,
Morse's Iiienda aa well as the public gen
erally :
SHANGHAI , July 21. When I wrote you last
tlmo I had not time to tell you that the vice
roy had applied to the inspector ecneml for
Hosca'fl services. The dny we left the dispatch
came from the inspector general cancelling the
Kin Kiang appointment and detncmng Hosen

Tha viceroy Bent Hosen'ii name up to the

It corresponds to tbo English title of Com
panion of the Bith. This waa for his work m
L'esalores , and also for his services In connec

"There are altogether too many gen

marked n reader of the Omaha Herald the
otheri day , ns ho threw down tha ehoet.
'Ricjht ' in this paper I rend thj names of
about twenty men who nro nil given military
, itlo3 whichdon't belong to them , and a person
who doesn't kno w them would suppose they had
B nolle d gun-powder. Others , who really have
melied gun-powder , are given tit.es way
above the rank they earned in the war. Look
lere I There's Oowin , for instaaca , la ona
article relating to tha county commissioners
ID u called 'general' five or tix times. The
'act is he waa a captain , and never was a gen
eral , and I have heard him say that he did
not appreciate the 'general' business. John
Winchester is reported as hiving gone to
Lincoln' , and ia called colonel. Manchester
was a captain , and never ranked as
colonel. Theto are n few instances of promoting
meting men after tbo war. I al sea
oy this tame Herald that Col. John A. Orph
an was at the Omaha exposition , So aho
were Co1 , Faxton , Col. Dawey , Col. Hanloo ,
, nd a host of * other colonels too numerous to
mention. Mr. Creighton was not in the war ,
and can lay claim to no title except Duke of
Vancouver. Faxton wni not in the army ,
neither waa Creighton. Hanlun , bowevir ,
was a soldier , but novar a culonal. I'll be
Ranged if I think a corporal's guard of pri
vates can be found In Omaha. The newspa

This whole business was snggoatad by
a Blair woman's miserable handwriting.
When she sent her aged father to Omaba
with instructions to find Maurlco Elman ,
No. 300 Forest street , bat wrote the
memorandum ao poorly that Forest
looked moro like First , she ought to
have boon thumped or spanked , it maybe
bo although sha bo nlnotcon and good
looking as her father describes her. She
deserves punishment for so outraging the
fair fame of our boasted free education ,
The old man was completely fagged ia
ho entered the pollco station and
dropped himself wearily Into n chair.
"I'm about worn oat tramping over the
town , " ho aild , when his presence was at
last noticed and the oflior of the watch
approached him."Aly name Is EC-
vln , John Ecvln. 1 llvo in Blair
and came down to-day to ic'o my nophoir.
My daughter eave mo the addrois , bnt
for the llfo of me , I can't ' find any First
street here , " and S3 cnylng , ho pulled a
clip of paper from hia pocket , and with
( rambling , toll-stlffem d fingers unfolded
it and presented It to the iuuctlonaty.
The policeman know at once that it
WAS Fortet atrcot , althocgh the word
looKed as much or mcrj llko F/ist. / The
cflicer was prompt and ready in1 directing
the old gentleman to the proper address
out in the western portion of tlio cily.
' That reminds mo , " remarked a mom
bur of the conccll who is an ancient real
dent , and was a vilnew of the scone ,
"that the day was tfhcn Flat street
was un existent thorough faro. To-day ,
however , a man would have to bo a good
SKimmer to find the street. In
that respect Omaha has a claim to Vene
tian distinction , at aside from smlmmlng ,
It wonld take a firal-slesa gondola to
roach some of the attests. "
Thus prefacing hii remaiks .the pion
eer citizen dropped into a long rcvluw of
the history of the city's river front.
When Omaha was oriainally mapped
out , the streets parallel to the river
were dcHlgnatcd numerically. This was
thirty-five years i > go and wondcrfnl
chang'B have been wrought In the inter
val uotwocn that time and the pres
ent. Allhouh First street was
never much of a thoroughf ro It was an
existent 'reality , and in the days of
stjaaboatlng on those waters it waa
Omcha'a levy strict. There might have
been aomo hopes for First atreot in those
d ya , and early speculators may hava
aoon great fntnro returns In corner lot
investments along ita length. Alas for
human plans I the sullen , self-it illod ,
changeful river had marked these very
projects for the rnln It could bring. The
dark otroam begin to shift its bed , cut
ting the banks npon its western shore
with a merciless persistency which car
ried its work with rapid progress. S ivcop-
ing around on immense bond n mils
abovj , the city was tbo direct target of
the etrongost current. Every little
frcohot , each little rise saw new posses
sions swept anroy as though the earth
ni salt.
There musv lave grown up then a
spirit of fear of real estate speculation in
Omaha and it was no wonder that the
city took to the boantifal hefghtj which
now form its site. Firat street was lost
and the fretfnl stream continued to gnaw
and cnt Its confining binks. Blocks ,
which might have sustained palitl.-.l edi
fices In years to come , sickened of the
hopes deferred and yielded to the ad
vancing wavoa. Second and Third
streets followed , joined os wall by the
north ends of Fourth , Fifth , Sixth and
Seventh streets. It was then the year
1875 , and the river hid eo far encroached
npon the original city that the govern
ment was appealed to for relief , The
Un'on Pacific and the Smelting Works
awakened to the necessity of protecting
their property , and a campaign
of defensive construction was be nn.
The government ; and the' rallw&y com
pany cot to work at once diking the river
front , and the smelling company laid rip-
rapping before its bulldinga. The work
of the laat two proved thorough and of-
ficaclcui , but with the exception of some
heavy reck work above the city , the gov
ernment's ' task wag futllo , as tbo frozen
dirt it dumped along the levy went out
with the firat swell.
A contract was ct that time made with
the smelting company whereby. In con
sideration of the orotectlon it wonld give
all property , it would bo given the
title to all the hud it
made by putting its slag
and refusn alone tno liver front near iu
workr. Tin alto of the cmslter has over
boon the diroctpiint of the river's attack ,
and the thorou/h breastwork which the
Qccumq'a'.ed damp from tbo works has
msdu Ia of unquestionably great advan
tage to the entire city.
The performances of the mercurial
stream of late years are froih in the pnb-
llc recollection , nud have been BO fre
quently reviewed that oven newoomora
uro acquainted with the facto , bow one
tilght the river cut through the neck of a
b'g bend , banding over to Nebraska sov-
orul acres of Iowa land and a ahoot of in-
1 tnd water , in Its old bed , which la now
called Cat-Oft lake. There is ono ques
tion , however , which naturally arises aud
may never have boon broached before.
To whom does the now Nebraska land
acquired by the river's freak bolting ?
Is it a poition of the public
donuin and can anyone pre-empt a legal
eharo cf it , or does it still boloug to the
Hawkeye farmer who originally took
up ? These are Impoitdut considerations ,
as It is known to all who have vlcited the
lake that there ia a considerable strip of
land between that body of water and the
river. This land ia not Band bottom * ,
bnt Is ol an bliuvUl ch rctcr which Is
richly arable as the wild vegetation which
covers It will toillfr. Some entcrprta'ng '
upeuhtor can afford to look up this
J5 it thjso l t refleolbns have been
dUvrdeeions from tbo original topic and
a tuiorn to streets must bo made. There
is however , little more to cay , but tbo
upshot ia that with tbo exception of a
Jittlo strip , submerged moro than half
the time , aw&y south by the etono quar
ries there Is no First street. In the up
per portion of the olty , counting from
nbovo the bridge , Hurt ii no First , Boo-
oud. Third , Fouith and Fifth streets ,
whlla the lowest ntrnot , numerically
sceaklug upon , which there are any habl
Utlon ia Fourth and that h donn in
