Tut crop of "lots for sale" is daily in creasing in Omaha , but it lurdly keeps up with the procession of purchaser1 ! anxious to invest in tlio most rapidly growing city in tlio Missouri valley. A Nr.w louic syndicate has taken hold of the McCarty patents to introduce Ittcl and illuminating gas in all the largo cities. Gas will bo bold at l a thousand cubic feet. That syndicate will receive u warm welcome in Omaha. IT hn.s long been known that Missouri river water , clarified by the Omaha water-works , would cure dyspepsia , and now Lincoln , not to bo behind the me tropolis , claims that its salt-works will euro cancer. This may bo called a healthy rivalry. Mil. CLEVELAND declines to furnish the senate his reasons for removals from oflico without stating the grounds on which ho bases his refusal.

Tun eastern press and especially that of N"ow York are complaining loudly bo- ciuiso Senator Evarts has not delivered a bold anti-silver speech in the senate. Mr. Evarts has'nt had time to forge his pond erous shafts and is not inclined to let his constituents know exactly in what , form they are to bo thrown. When one of his seven ton sentences strikes in the middle of the senate chamber there is likely to be a scattering among botli the silver and nntl-silvor advocates.

It ia to bq n remarkable year for Nnbraska this year of cracc 1830 more remarkable , perhaps , than any in her history. All the elements of a prosper ous development on n magnificent Fcnle are present. A score of railroad exten sions arc under contract Some of these will open up fertile regions of the state hitherto unsettled. Others will penetrate sparsely peopled counties and bring trade facilities to the doors of their occu pants. New life , new vigor , and added enterprise will bo infused into the state at largo by the iron fingers which arc steadily reaching out in every direction to grasp tlio possibilities of a hundred prospering communities. The tide of immigration which for live years pa t has been Mirging over our borders will probably reach its Hood during the comingjear. The indications are that the rccoids will bo broken by an inrush tills spring which will owed oven that of n year ago. Every mile of rail pushed across our frontier counties in northern nnd central Nebraska will be preceded , accompanied and followed by the home steader and settlor. Every extension of liiii-s in other poillons will add to the population. The certainty of tlio repeal of tlio pre-emption mid limber culture laws will stimulate llio rusli of laud seek ers and hasten tlio rapidity with which cheap government land will bo taken up while it is yet in the market. Towns and villages will spring up along the lines of rail which are crowding our frontier out of existence and new trade relations will iiitireasio the si o and com mercial importance of our principal busi ness centers. With sueli assurances of the present and promises for the future , Neb'-aska oilers to all the richest Hold for honest en deavor iu tlio west.

To the business and professional man a thousand opportuni ties will bo offered m now and old loca tions , which will spring up and develop in the onward march of settlement and progress througliout the state. Common laborers will I'md no lack of employment. There will bo no dearth of chances. Drain , brawn and pluck arc only needed to scuo them.

With such an equipment no one , young or old , need fear to enter tbc Held of competition in the struggle for existence assured of something more than a bare living. TjRt Them IJuiUl it Themselves. The house military committee has re ported a bill appropriating $500,000 for the Grant monument in Now York. The measure should be defeated , even al though it is conditional upon the raising of $250,000 by the monument association. The country at largo has already em- phalically declined to lend its assist ance to a purely local tribute to General Grant's memory. The burden of erect ing the monument was distinctly assumed by the New Yorkers and they should bo lorccd to carry it or acknowledge their failure. For tlio richest community in the country to appeal to congress to bclp it out in completing a subscription list which any western metropolis could have duplicated in half the time is a disgraceful con- moutary on the grasping parsimony of iti citizens. The piofils reaped from the general's funeral eermonies ulono would have built n do/ion handsome shafts to his memory. NewYoikcrs wonder at the develop ment of such western cities as Chicago. They are fond of criticising the magni tude of their projects , their boa-stud - enterprise - terpriso and their predicted future. Were our growing western cities to bo depopulated by one stroke and their cor porate bounds tilled with "enterprising" citizens of Manhattan the change would bo felt at once. Public enterprise is very feeble at the mouth of the Hudson. The foresight which knows how to spend money liberally in order to sccuro largo returns on the investment is practically unknown. If New York v/an Is her Grant monument lot her pay for" * ! ! . The coun try at large interposes no objection. But it declines emphatically to tax itself because tlio parsimony of Now York pre sents the erection of a memorial as mng- nitieont as its projectors have planned. A Deserved llcbnki- . Secretary Endicott has administered a deserved rnbuke to Lieutenant Green ami to the members of the court martial who sat on the case of the signal service pri vates recently tried at Fort Meyer for insubordination. Tlio insubordination consisted in protesting against the tyr anny of Lieutenant Green , who felt that his prerogatives as an officer included the right to abuse enlisted men in tlio class room. The pi ivates engaged counsel to represent tlieni in the trial , and the court was so incensed at a civilian interposing in the ease that it literally drove him off by their arrogance and discour tesy. Tlio secretary of war has taken up the case before it beoamo a matter of congiessional investigation and scores all the parties implicated in a decidedly llyelv manner , lin instructs ( ion. Ha/.en "to express Ills grave displeasure at the conduct of Lieut. Ureun , of the signal corps , who , ho says , has manifcstcdly failed , so far , to com- preliond the duties and responsibilities of a commissioned ofllcor and to rcaliio that tlio use of harnh , insulting language towards men , who , from their position , could not reply to it strikes at the viuy root of military dioipllne and evidences in nn oftltw so acting a deplorable want of self control , which , if persisted in , would domunstrato his utter untitiicss for command. " The secretary of war "also di-onis it his duty to reprobate the rude ami coarse manner in which the oUlcers composing tiio uourt trcr.tod the counsel for thi ) ai'Ciised. Such conduct , " ho ro- minks , " as. utterly unjubtitiablo in oi'.e'-rs ' silting in a military court in the capacity of judges. " Mi. nmhcoU's rebuke is a timely ono , and will be jjonoially commended both in and out of the service , Instances , such as that nut < -d in the Fort Meyer ease , ay happily rare in the hoivico. The duties ol an otllccr and a gentleman do not invltidu cow u dice , and nothing can bo won- cowardly than abuse of men who havix no ( oniciiy against op pression in the tanks , except the tedious and generally muatUfactoiy onn of an appeal to a court martial against thc'u superiors , in w hich fbe cliaryos must be made and sustained bya commissioned o/Hccr / anxious to pvoscrye the service from unsavory scandal. In the instance noted , the appeal to General Hazen for relief was met by the arrest and trial of the petitioners by court martial for in subordination , while- Lieutenant Green escaped until reprimanded by the sec- icliiry of war. A Successful Kxporlment. Tlio experiment of introducing manual training into our public school system has proved a marked success. During the four months in which the workshop has been in operation , Iho interest of punils in the study of how to nso their hands as well as their brain0 , has steadily increased. The boys who have been under voluntary in struction have put in altogclhor only 100 hours of actual work at tlio benches. The time taken has not infringed on the usual hours for study. Hut the result as seen iu the rapid progress of these engaged , m their increasing in- interest , and in the commendable ) work they have turned out are mo4 satisfac tory. They go far to confirm all that has boon claimed by the most ardent advo cates , of the system , both as a theoretical and as a practical study , and furnish stronc arguments for an cAtcnsion ami enlargement of the work as an adjunct to tlio educational training offered by Omaha tolls school population. So far , the facilities u Herded have been confined to teaching pupils Iho use of drawing instruments and the prac tice of mccliauic.il drawing , tlio use of simple carpenters' tooln , the manufacture of cubes , hexagons and other ob ject forms of solid geometry and the con struction of easy cabinet work from scale drawings. The boys have learned the value of tools , how to keep them and how to use them at the bench. This is practical and valuable knowledge if it never had any further application. Ev ery business and professional man needs such information. Much time and con siderable money would often bo saved if the knowledge ot what scale drawings meant and how simple tools were used were in everyone's possession. Hut the advantages of manual training go fur ther. The substantial elementary educa tion given will prove of an immense ad vantage to those boys who desire to enter tlio trades or mechanical profession. They willl have a handsome start over the apprentices whose lirst lessons must bo picked up as best they can in the shop or factory. In the training school every step is taken miller the teacher's direction and every advance made is in the line of llio highest cfliciency. It is very desirable that the facilities now afforded for manual training in tlio Omaha schools should bo extended and increased - creased during the year if our training school is to be placed abreast of our school system and made what it can be and Ought to be. Instruction in lathe work , in turning in woods and metals should be added to the study of carpentry and joining. More room should bo afforded for the shops so that all who wisii to join the classes can bo accommo dated. The board of education will be justillod in making a liberal appropaiation for this purpose. It will bo money well expended. Mit. G LADSI ONI : has no desire to shiink fiom the formation of a liberal ministry , and the queen , however unwilling she may be to summon him to Windsor , will have no option in calling upon the liberal leader to assume the conduct of the gov- cinmeiit. To imiku any other selection would only be to solidify liberal strength and to ensure tlio defeat of Lord Salis bury's successor. Lord llartington will scarcely attempt the task on the base of a coalition foreordained to downfall on the liret test vote. The crisis , therefore , resolves itself into Gladstone or another appeal to the country , and the latter alternative is too doubtful an expedient for relief , and so ex-pensive to all concerned , that it will scarcely bo attempted. It may safely be assumed that the announced willingness of Mr. Gladstone to accept the responsibili ties of office is based on a belief that he will bo able to formulate a programme which lie can carry through to u success ful issue. Ho has undoubtedly arrived at an understanding with Parncll for the undivided support of the Irish party on measures of proposed legislation. These , it is safe to assume , will not at the outset be of Mich a radical nature as to alienate the whig following. There tire indica tions that the trade policy upon which Mr. Gladstone's ministry will as-mmo ollico will bo that of lend reform and an extension of local government not to England alone , but to the three countries composing the union. Local self govern ment has been for years the bugbear of the English aristocracy. Special legisla tion has been the remedy for local mis rule by imperial agents in which national distinctions have been intensified , and in tlio case of Ireland made offensively prominent. Uy sweeping away the whole system of local government by bureau cracy , the Hold will bo cleared from fut ure action. TJIKIU ; is every prospect of an exciting session of the Canadian parliament which hns boon cnlled to meet on February 25th. The government's policy toward tlio northwest will bo assailed ; the Kiel mat ter will bo gone over , and the Hnancial policy and expedients of Sir John A. Mueiionald will bo exposed to bitter crit icism. It is tar from certain Hint a safe majority will bo found supporting the present cabinet. On the government side it h proposed to glvo at least a show of consideration to the reciprocity scheme ; a general bankruptcy bill will bo introduced , and eortrin remedial meas ures relating to lundlording in thn north- went will bo brought in as a sop to that section. A liltlo tariff tinkering is ex-- pooled also. Probably Sir John A.

A CoNGKEbsioKAL committee has re ported adversely to permitting General Howard to accept the French decoration of the Legion of Honor for distlngiiiseed sen ices rendered during the war , The objection is based on the ground that Jtho acccplance of the medal would be a sug gestion that our own government has not fiiillicieiitly rewarded its recipient.

Th'o1 fiibt is , however , that next to Dakota" whose claims arc above cavil. Washington territory is most deserving of consideration. Its vote indi cates a population of at least 200,000 , and the country has developed with remark able rapidity since tlio completion of the Northern Pacific. AVK understand that when the U. & M. completes its Ashland cut-off , shortening tlie distance between Omaha and Lincoln to fifty-four miles , it will abandon its tin can method of railroading between Nebraska's two principal cities.

Tlio Burliii tcm In Xcbraska. DuHtrTilhunc , Our special from Omaha says that the Hurlington Kailway company has let con tracts for the construction of 297 miles ol new road in Kebraska. This is carrying out the plan of the Hurlington to make its svstcm complete , and following upon it will probaby soon como the construc tion of a line west from Denver ncioss HID mountains. An examination of a map of Nebraska in connection with the dispatch in regard to the letting of contracts for construction , will show that ono purpose of the Diirlm ton is to con struct a perfect net-work of railways in southern Nebraska.

Hnl liie projection of one branch line shows that the ambition ol this company does nol slop with the construction of feeders in southern Nebraska. The line referred to is ono running northwest from Grand Island 100 miles. It is not said exactly what courno will betaken by this road , but it is probable that it will run up the valley of tlio Middle Loup. The construction of a road through this part of Nebraska will open up a part of the state which has now no railway facilities , but whieh doubtless is capable of supporting a largo popula tion. tion.The work to bo done by the Burlington in Nebraska this year is very impoitant to Denver in its significance , il in no other way.

S. Senate. UI.YMKS , Neb. , Jan. 23. fTo the Kd tor. ] 1 was In Pnpillion , the fchlrctown of Snrpy county , the other day. Among the magnates whom 1 there mot was tlio chairman of tlio county republican cen tral commit tee and who is also ono of the editors of the Times a newspaper conducted independently by the gentle * man nfore-ineiitioned and by the clniiiman of the democratic central com mittee of the same county. Hero wo have tin evninplo of extiemos meeting. Mr. Magiioy who edits nil tlio republicanism there is In the Time1 * , assured mo that ox-Senator Paddock hnda candidate for governor in the person of his nephew , Sam Smith , tlie cahier of the First Na tional bank of Hoatrlco. Since visiting Paplllon I have met some Hcatrico politi cians , who nro in the confidence of Air. Smith , and they tell me that ho has the gubernatorial bco in his bonnet bad , and that ho will como to the state republican convention with ( Jage. county solid , al though a tcrritlp light will bo made upon him in tlio primaries. 1'orsonally It seems that Mr. Smith Is not popular , lie is austere , domineering and big-feeling , but his immense wealth , and the innum erable and suggestive means his bank has for _ reaching tlio voters , will doubtless miiko siicces-stul Ids candidacy at his own home. Some time .since , what is known as the Colby faction of ( ? ago county politicians , would have waged savage and unrelenting war upon him , but pecuniary considera tions and business yies will make the leaders of that coterie foremost among the active supporters of Mr. Smith. Yet , at the Mime time , a largo and resjiectablo element in Iho piirty will make il as tin- eomfoilably hostile for him as possible. I might , personalty mention them , but will defer that for some future letter. \VhyColby.sliould supp&it him , or why his friends should , is nn unanswerable conundrum , and is only explainable on the grounds of "business. " Not n tinge county politician but known thai Colby would have been elected judge in 1881 , instead of ISrouil } , had the Smiths given him their unqualified support. Hul to go back to wlieru 1 began : The Sarpy county statesman is sincere in believing - lieving that Air. Smith is actually n can didate and is being put forwaru by Pail- dock , hoping that ho will come before the comcntion with a force largo enough to bo used for trading purposes. In other words , the cv-senator will see if his nephew's candidacy for governor cannot be converted into several senators and representatives in next winter's legisla ture , who will make his calling and elec tion to llio United States senate sure , for whieli place 1'addoek is undoub-edly a candidate. Now on the other hand , 1 was in Beat rice recently , and a warm personal friend of the ex-senator's said to mo that Sam Smith was crazy to make tlio race for governor , but Unit Paddock strictly de murred , tearing that it wi > uld prove the death-knell of his senatorial expectations. So "you pays your money and takes your choice" iu these conflicting reports. Of Paddock's candidacy for the United States senate there is no doubt. His in timate Iriends conless it ; and during tlio state fair at Lincoln , I mol t-omo leading railroad ollicials who woio giving cogent reasons why Paddock is the only man in the slate of Nebraska who can be .success fully used to down Van Wyck. These mcnwuie painstaking and eloquent in the prcitmtallonof Paddock's availability not that they love Paddock but that they desiio to defeat Van Wyck. Your eminent statesman , 'Doctor" Ulair , Jale postmaster of the state senate , visited Heatriuo just before the snow blockade , at which time I heard of him as a guest at llio Kandall house Hotheio gave notice that Pad dock's election was a certainty , and that he would bo supported with a solid North Platlo country , llo promised an undi vided delegation from Douglas county and intimated that he wonl'l ' bo ono ol its representatives. The "Doctor" has a ( micious bontin ; ; and smooth tongue , and led many to bulievn that he spoke ns one. having authority. Now it may bo that Paddock is strong in Douglas county , but the best informed of Giige county people , of all shades of politics , in that innumerable - merablo and uncertain political region , tell mo that it will be impossible for him to get a delegation from his own homo against Squalor Van Wyck.
