corpses were taken from thu poor farm

keeping a man in charge ot the county
Infirmary who , to say the luust , hud laid
himself open to grave auspicious of dU-
lioncsty. Ho admitted that corpses wuio

liim at Ids own word , it was his duty to
call the attention of the commissioners
to the fact , lie nuver did this , and ul

IT ! an open secret in English military

ing on this remarkable statement , argues
that It la clearly shown that seniority us
iv qualification for command , must
promptly disappear. Wo venture to

of disregarding seniority bulovv the rank

Diversifying Industry.
'llionplrltof outorprlso whloh Nobr.-H-
kn | in exhibiting Iu the growth and ptult
of her rountj'wnt3 and county towns la
woithyof nil pral c. It Is pleasant to
notn the vigor with which thc'c conimn-
ttitlcs are urging the cMabli'diinont of
inlllH and factories In their midst , tit ill-
7-ing notghlormg water powers , and callIng -
Ing \ to thotr a < * latanco for local conisump-
tion tI the products of the adjacent country.
tt Diversification I of indiwtry is the founda
tion t of wealth and piosportty. The
spirit of the ago is no longer content
with the old classification of agriculture
iiutt I commerce , the ono producing , the
other exchanging. The present century
has I mlded manufactures to the list and
through I long years of indirect taxation
has I nt last placed American Industries lu
n thousand lines of production , on a
solid footing. Year by j'uar the expand
ing limits of the great manufacturing
urea have pushed wcfltwn.nl. The Alle-
ghenles were crossed twenty-five years
ago. Ohio , Indiana , and Illinois , then
almost exclusively farming regions , to-
dny rank among tlio first of the manu
facturing states. The Mississippi Itself
has been crossed and Iowa and Nebraska
are now ready to enter the Hold with
othurcom poll tors.
The heavy cost of transportation Is a
stiong imlucument towards homo con
sumption of our materials. Diminished
bulk means diminished freight tariffs.
Kvory bushel of wheat iitmlu into Hour ,
every pound of moat packed or smoked ,
Is money made , because itlsmoucybuved
in transportation charges. Theio aio few
of ourtowns on lines of railroads which
cannot support a local manufacturing in
dustry , whether it bu a mill , a ore.unory ,
a canning factory , a packing house , or
an agricultural implement establishment.
Dozens of minor industries suggest thorn-
Helves , all dhectly connected with the
wanks of a fanning communily , and
w hich would dopuiul upon tlio local to-
sources of the countrj" tor the raw ma
terial. Such industries subservu a
double end. Thoj' consume the raw ma-
torlul ut homo and furnish employment
for cltlxons of the community where they
aio located. In addition , whatever pi ollht
are mudo are expended whore they are
made , and not thousands of miles away.
Thut our people are seeing this in its
proper light is a causa for congratula
tion. The time is not fur distant when
Ncbiasku , hi splto of her disadvantages
of Inland locution , will bo nblo to boast
of the number of her mills and woolen
factories , plow foundries , great cunning
establishments , implement works , besides
sides pointing with pride to hundreds of
smullor industries dotting the state in
every town , and giving employment to
thousands of her citizens.
Tlio Street Hallway.
The Omaha struct railway viwns tlio
most rcinui orativo right of way iu the
city. Its system , which during the past
two yours has boon greatly extended , bids
fair at no distant day to gridiron our
thoroughfares witli its rails , and to a
great extent monopolize that class of
trallio iu the community. Under its new
management it lias greatly impiovod ,
butthero are several points yet vvhcio
there is still room for further improve
ment in order to give proper accommo
dations to tlio traveling publio.
Tlio running time of the cars , espec
ially on Um cross town lines , is ridicu
lously slow. Oa the Patk avenue am1
JMghtccnlh street line the average time
m ido is less than three miles an hour
from terminus to terminus. Manj-clerks
and merchants along the route decline to
palroni/o the cars because in fairly good
weather they can walk the distance to
tlieir olllces and stores faster than they
ran be carried over the rails. Tlio Ion-
waits on the switches added to the fllov
time between switches greatly detracts
fiom tlio usefulness of the lino. Tin
eamo muy bo said of thu Cuming stree
line nnd in a less degree of the S.umdera
Btrcet route. There 19 no good rcasoi
why the company cannot shorten the
timo. On a quicker schedule it would
cortiiinly secure enougli additional pat
romigo to more than , puy for the differ
euro in cost.
There is a general complaint that th
arrangements for transferring puaseng'
era fiom ono street cur line to anolhe
are inadequate and unsatisfactory. Pas
sengera are forced to catch the cars uf
they can on the Fifteenth street crossing ,
and unless the driver happens to as
them enter , are subjected to urgent and
embarrassing requests to drop their
nickels in tlio box. At other points bo-
si lea Fifteenth and Farnam there are ab
solutely no facilities for transfer. Travel
lers who wish to take the Cumiug street
Hue from a Sixteenth street cur must puj'
the additional faro and wait often from
live to ten minutes before making con
nections. All this trouble could be obvi
ated by the use of transfer t'o' ' ots good
on the day of issue and distinguished by
colors ho thut they would not bo used for
another trip. As matters arc now ur-
ranged the transfer Is an annoyance and
often an embarrassing ami unntiUgatud
nm > iucn.
Ultimately the "bobtail car" must give
way to curs with conductors , They are
too small in the first pluco and too econ-
omicul at the expense of the public m
the second plaeo. There is no good ma
son why tlie public should bo forced to
act as employes of common carriers In
collecting and depositing thu fares , or In
stopping or starting the curs , In small
cities on all streets , and in largo cities on
thn second class lines the "bob tail" will
Htlll have scope for its profunlty-provok.
Ing work , but it has long ago boon
crowded , in other communities , fiom thu
main thoroughfares and lines of heavy
travel , und one of these days it must be
truuted ttio sumo in Ouiuha.
A PLAN is reported on foot among
members of the house of lupicscntativcs
to clip Mr. Uaudull's wings at thu com
ing season of congress. A combination
of democrats has been formed who will
for such a revision of the house
rules us will tate fiom the committee on
appioprlutlons all thu lulls that can
pioporly bo distributed among thu com
mittee having speclul subjects muter con
sideration. Till * v.-ill hand over to the
river and harbor committee , the coin-
tmUo.oouIr.dhui aitairt , the committee
on Hgrlculliiro , tlio military committee
nnd the naval committed , the nppropih-
tion bills relating to their ail'ans which
have heretofore been ptoimru < l by Mr.
KauduH's committee , llus movement
lias bowl or anired on i.ccount of a general -
oral disgust at the nrblliary pow ur with
which the wajs mid means commlttoo
has been cloth d , and especially by rea
son of Mr. llaudair.s dictatorial
conduct tit the last st ioti. Under
the changed rule it is ulaimrtl
that the appropriations committed would
not then have ground for complaining
that the burden imposed upon It was so
great that it could not bring lulls bills
until late In the session. If it choio to
hold buck Its bills it would bo opposed to
unfavorable comparison for Industry
with committees that hid begun early
ami finished their work. Its power to
monopolize time would bo damaged , nml
seriously. It Is said that tlio determina
tion to oll'cct this change' ' will bo carried ,
out Ixjforo the reassembling of tlio house
of representative after tlin.liqliila.y re
cess and before iho committals aio an
nounced , that It will bo accompli hod
bj' an amendment of the rules , and that
the proposit.ou to amend the rules w ill
bo supported by a very largo majority.

There is at least this consolation in the
results of the late elections , No deernt
politician can regret ids falo. Ho did
moio than any other ono muntomuki ; : vn
honest independent movement in the
south impossible. Having his party on
repudiation of thostulo'H ' plighted faith ,
ho endeavored to build up hid machinu
by the nuked pro-itilution of politics for
gain Ho attracted to his banner many
honest men , who saw , In Ids warfare on
the Virginia democr icy , what ho claimed
itlo be , a struggle tor independent polit
ical action. It is a disgraceful page in
tlio history of the national ruimblic'iit
party that ho vvas able to make an open
diekor for pationago witii two adminis
trations and lo rully to his mippoit tlio
leaders of republicanism in congress mid
on the .stump. Leo's appeals to the mem *
oiies of sectional strifu undoubtedly qou-
tiibutcd to his defeat , but disgust at his
dishonest and bra/only corrupt methods
among the people ef his own state as
sisted fully as much In his downfall.
There is no reason why a single sigh of
compassion should bo huaid over the
exit ot the Virginia readjuator. Ho did
the republican paity iuhnite harm by his
connection with the oigani/ation , and
lopublicansiifuirod themselves morotlrin
they can at the present time appreciate
by their souii endorsements of a sollisu
and dishonest politician.

This dispatch la on a par with oveiy
thing sent out from Lincoln , and is in
perfect keeping with the utteiances from
the local preas of that city whenever
any reference is made to Oni ilia. The
statement regarding the peoplu of Omaha-
is an unvarnished falsehood The Omaha
folks uro in no way disappointed at the
decision of the Missouri Pacific to build
to Lincoln. They took no interest in the
project , and no obstacles whatever were
thrown in the wajof tlio proposition by
our people. They huto no uuro inturoit
in a Missouri Pacific stub to Lincoln than
they hain the Canadian Pacilio. Thu
head man in tlio enterprise is Mr. S. II.
II. Clurk , a largo property holder and
one of the wealthiest men in Omaha. If
ho hnd so desired hu could have prevented -
vented thu building of a Missouri Pacific
branch to Lincoln.
