Sworn to nnd subscribed before mo this Gth day of ilny , A. D. ISsO. SIMON J. FIRHKK. Notary Public. THE board of trade proposes to sco that the Arkansas editors arc properly enter tained wlion they visit this city next Fri day. It will bo money well invested. THE Herald culls loudly upon the local democracy to "trust Mr. Cleve land. " The trust which the west lias ro- poscd in the president 1ms boon rudely shaken by Ins blind disregard of western interests. New Yorkers can afford to "trust" Mr. Cleveland. Ho has shown no .inclination to go back on his local obliga tions. THE heart rending howls of the boodle gang of editors against Senator Van Wyck are not disturbing the sloop of the senator and his friends. Ho has already announced himself as a candidate for reelection - election on his record and can afford to patiently await the result. Nebraska and the producers of the state have hud an able , fearless and active representative in the senate in the person of General Van Wy.ck , and they are not disposc-d to swap horses while crossing : the political stream of the coming canvass. PUBLIC works have Dcgun at last. The sewer contractors have sot their men at work , and repairing of the Sixtconiu- struot pavement has commenced. From this time on there ought to bo no lack of employment for Omaha's laboring men. The grading , curoing and paving will begin in a few days and hundreds of workingmen will find places. When building starts up as it always does in Omaha several months later than in other cities , the crv of labor for work will bo drowned by the calls of contract ors for workinemen. THE job to build a railroad into the Yellowstone park is still being vigorously pushed at Washington. A majority of the committee on public lands of the senate is said to favor it nnd a strong lobby is urging the measure. Those who know best from a personal survey of the ground are united in protesting against the desecration of the national park. They denounce the proposed railway as uncalled for by any public demand and ns promoted purely for the pri vate gain of the incorporators. The Yellowstone Park was reserved for a national pleasureground. . It should bo kept for the purpose far which it was Intended. Harpy speculators and sharks Bhould bo warned oft' the reserve. For years to come the interests of the conn- try will bo best subserved by improving the natural roadways and psrccrving the grand forests and scenery from vandal desecration. Tun souato 1ms now boon debating for raoi'o than a week the Cullora interstate commerce bill which was reported favorAbly - Ably from the committee some weeks go. The chief feature of the measure and one of the worst features U the com missioner ystom which the bill proposes to Introduce as si regulator of interstate commerce , The powers of thu commission re to be limited to hearing complaints of shippers and making recommendations to Iho railroad manngors. They are to have no power to enforce their decisions ftud will bo in ufloct simply an advisory 'board. The bill forbids discrimination and. extortion in general terms , but pro vides no cheap and ofl'octivo remedy for the people. It wan drafted by a friend of the railroad lobby and Is supported by s number of senators who are notorious ly Jy bound hand nnd footto thu interests of * < T * < iw niouojiolists. IT Is diflloult to understand why the ro- Iircoity | treaty with the Sandwich Isl- fcnds should stand tiny clumco of being runcwod. It was engineered through aonuross in the lirst place in the interest of Glaus Sprceklos and his sugar rollner- ies , nnd every year of the operation has put Immk'cd of thousands of dollars into the pockets o ( the California monopolists. Whim the subject was Urn broached , the advocates of the treaty argued that thu estimated loss of revenue to the United States would be about $370,000 , and ns t'.io total production of the islands could pot bo largely increased , and would not undtir any circumstances exceed 25,000- , , WO pounds of sugar per annum , our in- erensod exports to the islands would : eortaluly ofl'sot that amount , lint under the inlluonco of the bounty which our treaty practically pays to the planters of thojo islands , the importations of Hawaiian sugar into the United States Ju 1833 amounted to 109,007,003 pounds. The lews of duties to liio United States -Ws'Hmountod to f23,325,00.3 , , and the total value of our exports to the Mnwiillnn Ulnnda during the same period ba * been cnnxiderablylcaa thnu the duties Ve have saciiliced. Mr. Olndstono'rt Second Speech. Mr. Gladstone's second speech in advo- cacay of his homo rule measure was nei ther so long or as elaborate an argument as his first great effort. It was naturally devoted largely to answering the objec tions raised to tiio bill as Introduced , nnd to strengthening the position of the cab inet. In opening , the premier took oc casion to deny the charge which lias been bandied from mouth to mouth during the Easier recess , that ho had ever denounced homo rub as incompatible with imperial unity. On the contrary , ho showed how more than fifteen years he had distinctly alHrmcd his favorable leanings towards self government for Ireland ns soon as ho became convinced that it was desired by the mass of the people nnd could bo safely put into operation. Doth conditions being in his judgment fullillcd , Mr. Glad stone announced himself as bounu to further the wishes of the Irish people and the interests of the empire by afford ing a just and necessary relief to Ireland. Mr. Gladstone professed himself will ing to modify that clause of the measure excluding Irish members from West minister by leaving the question opuu for debate , to bo settled by the judgment ot the house. Ho announced that the government would not press this point. In answer to other objections against the bill he called upon the opponents to sug gest a belter remedy for the abolishment of discontent , and to restore social order in Ireland. Ho appealed to Lord Hurting- ton to shape his situation of the Irish problem , if ho had any. Ho charged the combined opposition with an ob struction based upon prejudice , and not upon considered judgment , and concluded amid prolonged cheering by urging the commons to close a long strife of seven hundred years by the passage of the measure. The prospects of the homo rule are brighter than they wore before the Easter recess and Mr. Gladstone's second speech is buliovcd to liavo driven back into the liberal fold several wavercrs who wore ready to support Lord Hartingtou's mo tion for the six month's postponement of the consideration of the measure. The Aiinwcr of Kxpcriencc. Some of our ranchmen friends are in clined to take exception to the position of the BIE : in encouraging settlement , in what they call the desert portion of Nebraska. They shako their heads wisely and insist that two years of "grangoring" in the country west of North Platte will satisfy the most ardent farmer. They tell us that the elevation is too great and the rain fall too scanty in the section referred to for crop rais ing and persist that the immigration which is pouring into the range country will be proved to bo a disastrous mis take. It would not bo a sufficient answer to say that our stockmen friends are too in terested in opposing the loss of their free ranges to give an unbiassed opinion on the question , but it is a good answer to reply that experience is opposed to their position. The same argument has been used for ten years in this state. The time is not long past when farming west of Grand Island was pronounced imprncticablo. Six years ago the Republican valley was to bo the home steader's grave. Two years since north western Nebraska was declared forever unfit for any purposes except grazing. But the range line , in spite of croaking alarmists , has been pushed steadily west ward and farms and farmers have taken the place of grazing grounds and cow boys. The frontier of ten years ago is the corn belt of to-day. 'Whether the re sult is duo to climatic changes , increased rainfall , or to the sufficiency of the old amount of rainfall under changed con ditions of broken soil and increased vegi- tation , the facts are the same. They stand out in census reports , in the truflic re turns of the railroads and the exhibits of county and state agricultural exhibitions. Success has followed the daring. The men who pushed over the frontier ten years ago were assailed with the same arguments as the pioneers who are tak ing up range land to-day. The Bualuoav Situation. With indications of closing labor troub les , trade is beginning to show signs of recovery. The disturbing effect of the riotous outbreak's in Chicago and Mil waukee and of the labor agitation in all sections of the country has been felt in uvory branch of.busincss miring the week past. The movement of freight from Chicago and other western centers has boon comparatively uruull , and shipments of manufactured goods have in many cases been held back from the fear of in terrupted railroad facilities or from a da- sire to avoid additions to stocks pending a settlement of the labor troubles. Operations in most departments reflect actual and immediate wants , and there is general reluctance fo engage in new enterprises or to Increase obligations the fulfillment of which may be retarded or made profitless by some new complica tion in the labor situation. Under exist ing conditions the business movument is as us it could bo oxpceted to bo ; but the Improving tendencies noted at the outset of the spring season liavo boon seriously checked by the develop ments of the past few weeks , and in view of the depressing inllupnces at work the forecast of manufacturers and traders is naturally dbitruitful unduncertain. Busi ness failures in the United States ttud Canada numbered 103 last week , as against 207 the week previous , and 194 the wetik bnforo. There } H little now to note [ n the wholesale markets , Wool is slightly lirmor , with now wools opening nbout 3 cents higher than a j'car ago. This advance is likely to bo temporarily sustained by the purchases for inillti whoso stocks nro about exhausted , Kastcrn dealers look for n gradual settling of vrtltios to the basis of last year's opening quotation- ! after this early demand hits boon satis fied , and tliuy will Im dlow to take hold ut higher rates unless M > me unexpected improvement in the general business outlook Mtimilatos speculation , The dry goods dUtribtitlon is moderate and con- lined to a faupply of near rnfoments | , Many of the woolen mills have orders .covering production up to and In some cases buyoud the 1st of July , but tew new ordi'rs uro being nwuivcd for fall wants , owing to the uncor- taiutlcd of tlio outlook. . Hjicculrttion in grain hai continued bearish on account of thu disturbance of confi dence by labor troubles ami owing Mso to the favorable crop outlook and the lack of activity m fordig'ri demand. On the seaboard , rumors , of bad grading in corn have advaucod'iii'icos , Much of the corn recently received has failed to grade up to the contract standard , and as there nro indications that n good deal of the corn now afloat on the lakes nnd canal is out of condition , and will not pass In spection on arrival at Now York , the shorts in that market have boon buying in their contracts at advancing prices. Export demand has been very moderate both for wheat and corn , nnd there has been very little animation In the specula tive markets. The domestic visible supply - ply statement at the close of the week , shows a decrease of 1,201,000 bushels of wheat and 1,700,000 bushels of corn , while slocks afloat for Europe show n small and important Increase in both items. The Union I'nciflc 1)111. Senator Van Wyck and Congressman Dorsey have promptly introduced in the soimto and liottso the now bill to permit the Union Pacific to borrow money in the open market for the extension of feeders to its main system. The bill , as offered , differs somewhat from the ono first drafted by the board of trade. Ono re sult of Senator Van Wyck's visit to Omaha was the amendment of thn pro- proposed measure so as to absolutely protect the Union Pacific system from a repetition of thb stock jobbing schemes which have brjught it so nearly to bankruptcy. The senator's objections to the original draft wore free ly discussed and mot and the bill which he lias now introduced and to which ho will give his best support , carefully guards all the interests of the government and the Union Pacific stockholders in the matters which it is designed to cover. Neither the people of Nebraska nor of tile country tributary to the road are inter ested in seeing the property crippled. In so far as the government lias a lion upon the Union Pacific , it is national pro perty. The stringent legislation of the past , which has tied its hands , was forced upon congress to protect the road from the thieves and jobbers who were sucking its hearts blood and wrecking the property to benefit inside rings in the management Now that the Union Pacific is surrounded on every side by powerful rivals , although largely through its own fault , there is every reason wiiy congress should permit the company to protect its interests and those of the government by entering into active competition for the traflic which is being taken away from its control. Nebraska , while remembering the past history of the corporation and its treat ment of her people , is equally interested that the road should extend its branches and give the state the benefit of compe tition in competitive territory. The sen timent in favor of the now bill , for the relief of the Union Pacific , is general and strong. This is the case , not because Nebraskans or citizens of Omaha regret or recall for one moment their past op position to the previous policy of the Union Pacific , but because they feel that , under the guarantees provided , the re lief proposed will bo for the common benefit , while it will in no way legalize or endorse the swindling operations of the Goulds and Dillons and other jobbers who so long fattened from tyrannical op pression of the people of the west. THE sidewalks' on our principal thor oughfares , especially on Farnam and Douglas streets , should bo improved at once. They should all be brought to a grade and curb line , and be laid with durable material. Among tho' lirst to moyo in this matter should be the owners of the Paxton House. The wooden side walk , which surrounds that structure , is above grade and docs not come to "the curb line. It is a disgrace to the elegant structure , and an eye-sore to the citizens generally. Now that there has been a general settlement of labor troubles in Omaha and tears of a season of idleness have passed away , our people who had laid plans for building should go rieht on with the work. Omaha ought to double her building record this year. GLADSTONE and the liberal cabinet stand firm for homo rule both in princi ple and in application. The prophets who predicted that the grand old man would retrace his stops when the homo rule bill came up for its second reading mistook their reckoning. the average editor runs short of nubjectH ho falls back on oleo- ' margarine. However , it is a subject upon which lee much cannot bo saidund the batteries of the press cannot bo bol ter employed than in hammering away at the fraud. THE bill to put to put the United States court on wheels and make an annual tour of all the towns in the state is a measure that ought to receive no consid eration , There are enough traveling shows without adding the United States court to the list. DO/.RNS of strikes uro being declared failures in every section of the country. Spies' , bomb , which the crazy fanatic pretended was thrown in the cause of labor , has done moru to injure labor or gan izations than a hundred lockouts. TUB piano makers have boon out on a strike for two weeks. This will , how ever , make no difference in the price of thu instruments. Dealers will continue to sell at the old profit of 100 per cent clear of all commissions. WHEN the Arkansas editors invade Omaha , our citizens should correctly pronounce the name of the state from which they hail. It is Arkansaw , although it Is Improper to pronounce Kan sas as if spoiled Kansaw. declines to go. On the con trary ho asks for an increased force of bpocial inspectors to investigate fraudu lent land entries , aud promises to make it still livelier for land grabbers und pre emption syndicates. HtrnniNG has begun , but there is as yet no building inspector to protect Individ ual und public interest * from faulty work. The council has douo its duty in the mat ter , but the mayor has not yet &een fit to \\K \ hoar very little of the removal efFort Fort Omaha nowadays. The nearest thing to it is the removal of the Fourth infantry from the post , which event is boocd ! for the hist of June. A r.rtoro.snrxoH lias been made to put the Apaches on tin island off tho.Pattilio coast. Tijis leads the Chicago Times to- Buegcst that the anarchists of that city bo similarly disposed of.

Ills recent ode is pretty poor stuff. It seems impossible for a poet to see what Is plain to every body else that his muse has gone back on him. When the muse of poetry has boycotted a poet , as in the case with Alfred , he should have fousc enough to give up verso-making. Advice to Jo IT Davis. Chicago Time * .

There Is no danger that thediivclingsof the ex-chief of tlio slave holders' rebellion will resurrect the "lost cause" for which he mourns ; but there are possibilities that make the continuance of the oxhiDltloii nearly as undersirublo as would ba a renewal of the lake-frout gathering ot the Chicago red-flags.

Congress , early in March , passed a bill giving to curtain farmers in Iowa the authority to appeal in court in defense of their rights to their farms , on which many of them have been settled since 1855. Their titles are attacked by the DCS Moines Improvement coniyany , which a great many years ago received a grant of lands to aid it in cfleoting an im provement of a part of thn DCS Moines river. This corporation never effectually completed its promised improvement , but it set up a claim not only to the lands included In the original grant , which lay along the proposed route of Its woik , but to a considerable tract lying else- whore. Both houses of congress have seen fit to settle this dispute by allowing the farmers to go into court und liavo u final decision upon the question whether their farms shall belong to them or to a corpo ration which claims them for work not done , and claims , us these who know the case assert , much more than it would bo entitled to if it had done its work. Tlio president has chosen in his veto to deny tlio poor farmers their right to n day in court. Ho talks about thn sacredness - ness of "vested interests , " and Migitosts that if any "meritorious" farmers suiter hardship and loss congress can make an appropriation of money for them.

Who i& the uoxt biilJVi-.fyr cure or cash ? . . . The 1'rMldont'fl Chicago Herald. The limits of legitimate comment on the approaching marriage of the pros ! dent appear to have boon trnnsgrossci when tlio newspapers foil to speculating on the identity of the person who is to pay the expenses of Miss Folsom's Euro pean trip and to foot the bills for her trousseau. There is an insatiate demand for gossip nowadays which may bo harm lessly erutllicd , but there Is tv little bo- youd which it is impertinent nnd inde cent to go. Miss Folsom is entitled to chivalrous treatment at the hands of the American people whether she is to niarr > the president or not. She is represented as a most amiable young ladv , with many graces ot mind and person , She is not a pauper. Shu hns many relatives who are respectable people. She is trav eling In company with her mother , and it is nobody's business who is paying the expenses. It is to bo inferred that her own family , probably her mother , is lojkiugout for this part of the enterprise and there is no reason to suppose that anybody else 1ms anything to do with it. In other respects the comments that liavo been made on tlio approaching white house marringn have been respect ful and proper. It would be idle to sup- Ijoso that the president of the United Stales , who is nothing more than ono of the pcoplu selected for a fixed term to act as tliuir chief magistrate , couht bo mar ried during his term of olllco without exciting - citing more or less gossip. The village bridegroom who is known to all does not escape the good-natured bamlinngo of his follows , and the president who is n uilu ns conspicuous u target for the entire - tire nation , cannot under the same cir cumstances expect to dodge tlio witti cisms , the conjectures , and the gossip of tliii people , who feel that they have a pro prietary interest in him If these comments are annoying to Mr. Cleveland it is because ho has postponed for so long a time a duty which should have bren attended to early in lifo.wliuu . , with younger blood and more buoyant spirits , ho would have cured little for the inevitable chatter. As a matter of fact , the White house is u poor place for nnmn to marry his first wife. The uvuiago citizen of the United States should bo married long before lie reaches that man sion. Mr. Cleveland's long neglect of this important business is responsible for whatever annoyance he now suffers. Actors Who Cnn AildrcsB an Audi ence. That wns n , very neat speech Modjcska made last Monday niglit in response to the Elks' presentation. I do not know whether it was impromptu , but doubtless it was , for the lady is very lluent and quick-witted. It is astonishing , however , to note how few people of her profession are apt speakers under like circumstan ces. At this moment Barrett is the only only one 1 can remember , besides Mod- jeska , who can step out of his part and address an audience in improvised and well-chosen language. This arises _ largely from their constant habit of only speaking in public the words which someone ono cls > o has put jnto their mouths. The continued use of one function of the brain is only made at the expense of others. There are very few actors who can sneak correctly on the spur of the moment half us much matter as is con tained in this paragraph. I have heard Irving s-tutter like a schoolboy over two consecutive sentences , and Hartley Campbell does not even scorn able to re peat the speeches lie writes in advance and has himself called out to speak. Hot Spring" Gamblers. A Hot Springs , Ark. , correspondent of the St Louis Globe-Democrat writes : There has been recently in the circuit court , now in session here , a profusion of gaming cases , and quite a number of gamblers have boon mulcted. Upon in formation coining to the knowledge of the court , Judge Wood this afternoon is sued an order to the slicrilVdireoting him to search tlio establishment of 14. B. Smith , " "et out all gaming devices con tained therein and destroy the same. The order was promptly carried out , and the tables and implements wore dumped in a pile on Central avenue , the main street in the city , and burned. The burning nile was viewed calmly by sports. The late grand jury paid especial attention to infringements of the gaming law , and found a number of indictments. Judge Wood had particularly charged the grand jurors regarding the law , and laid stress on the point that the payment of period ical lines , which was virtually a licnnso , could not condone the oll'unso which the statutes prohibit. One of the strictest provisions regarding gaming is that which causes the forfeiture of the license of any saloon where gambling is per mitted. Tlio knights of the erccn cloth are raiding the lesson of the times , and gambling is now defunct at this rosort. The cessation , however , may bo only temporary. Advice to Take tlio Elevator.
