SENATOK VAN Wvcrc is working mnn-
fully to secure consideration in the
senate for his bill taxing railroad lands ,
but the railway lobby is working just as
hard to prevent the bill from being taken
up. The I'aciilio roads head the obstruc
tion with the sanctimonious Stanford and
his puppet Fryo , of Maine , representing
the interests ot monopoly on the lloor of
the senate chamber.
Gladstone and hissing the
queen wore features of the reception
to the generous young earl of Aberdeen
in Cork yesterday. Hut why bhould the
qucQQ be hissed ? She ia rapidly gutting
Old , nnd she has long boon harmless to
da damage to Ireland , An " uncrowned
king " now has more influence at West
minister than the corpulent and penur
ious Victoria , whoso monarch after all
is the liberal party and its liberal states
man , Vfva , K , Gladstone ;
has tested the valno of public
improvements soundly , substantially
done. She has received full value for her
money. Tlio census shows that , as well
as the now linns crowding into this com
munity-arid tlio quickened activity in pri
vate improvements and property values.
We cannot afl'ord to rest on our oars now
that the inoroaso of population has caught
up with the extension of the city 'a bound
aries. Public improvements must go on.
Parks and boulevards are the next move
to bo made on the municipal checker
board.
HEWITT AND UANDAI.L are

fivvorof tarift" reform. As bptli gentlemen
% r $ heavily interested in maintaining the
Iron and stool monopoly , built up and
maintained by the most exorbitant of
twin' duties , tlujir movement towards
iurllY reform is not likely to be made at a
| 4 jtud S. gait. Tim fact is that the douiou >
r oy are as badly split up on the qucs-
llou of tivrift' reduction as the ropuLiloniis. |
Reform in tlio parties must precede any
oftcctivo reform in the tarifT.

The silly editorial of a Hastings pnpoi
advising the merchants of that city tc
boycott Omaha on account of alleged op
position to terms of tlio federal courts n
Hastings was quite unnecessarily , w
think , the subject of odlclal action at the
last board of trade meeting. Oinalu
wholesalers liavo not troubled thcmsoivci
about the federal court or Its terms , anil
arc only interested In keeping at a Root
distance from Its operation. A few Omahr
banks have recently had a little c\pcr
icncc In that line with the celebrated case
of Loyal L. Smith and the Hebrew child
rcn who hailed from Chicago , but thoj
are not particularly anxious to repeat the
do o.
So far ns Hastings merchants are concerned
corned , wo imnglno that they will coii'
tinuo to buy whcro they can buy the
cheapest and to the bust advantage. II
the Omaha market fulfils these condl
lions our wholesalers need not fear the
thro.Us of boycott from a disgnintlcil
newspaper. They will secure the trade
and hold it against nil corners.
Hut what senseless idiocv it is fet
interior towns and cities to imagine that
Omaha or Omaha merchants have the
slightest interest in obstructing the pros
perily of any Nebraska community ,
What earthly advantage could it bo tc
Omaha , outside , perhaps , of a few law
yers , in pioventing the United States
courts from being put on wheels and
trundled to a do/.cn points in the state , II
congress saw lit tosodcorcot Such potty
jealousies will do for country villages
lighting for a county seat and the dollars
lars and rents which the board of onn
judge and fifteen lawyers and jurymen
may bring to the local hotel , but they
have no place in n city of 75,000 inhabi
tants , the magnet metropolis of the state.
It Will Not Work.
The , sinall gathering of the Omaha
board of trade which mot to endorse oleo
margarine and compromised by declin
ing to endorse a bill which will cllrctively
prevent grease from being palmed oft
upon the public ns btittor , did not repre
sent the sentiment of Ouiaha on this
subject.
Ten thousand dollars' worth of butter-
inc , labeled "creamery butter , " is sold
every month in this city by n single firm.
A largo part of this amount is retailed to
conMimcr.s in Omaha. Not a pound of
the stun" is .sold under its right muuo ,
although a stringent state law provides
heavy penalties for such fraud on
the public. Why ? Uooauso the prof
its tire so enormous that' retail
ers prefer to take the chances
of detection and punishment rather than
to lose their trade. They know as well
ns the manufacturers that if they were
orood to soli the stun" as "lardino" their
trade would bo gono. Creamery butter ,
clean and wholesome , would take its
place very quickly. A few cheap board
ing houses and hotels would probably
still patronize the grease factories , but
the general public would hold its nose
and pass by on the other side of the street.
The oleomargarine bill now before con-
greess , and against which the pork pack
ers and lard refiners arc protesting so
vigorously , imposes a tax per pound on
the product and throws around its manu
facture the canio restrictions of inspec
tion , stamping and labeling as those
which surround the manufacture and sale
of tobacco and cigars. Federal oflicors
will supervise the lardine mills , federal
inspectors and marshals will enforce the
law for the protection of our dair.v inter
ests , and federal courts will impose the
penalties. Uncle gn-v. himself will take
the casein Tiaud and it will be well
attended to.
The law is a radical one , but radical
evils demand radical remedies. Exper
ience has proved that more prohibition of
the fraud is profitless , It has been tried
and found wanting. What the temper of
congress is on the question can bo scon
from the defeat on Thursday of the pro
posed amendment to lower the proposed
tax on manufacturers. Our agricultural
Interests demand protection at the hand
of the government. They will receive it
in spite of culled meetings of commer
cial bodies convened to stroke tlio backs
of a few interested manufacturers who
have been trading on the good name of
our honest dairy interests by furnishing
lard and suet to customers branded as
( lip pure and wholesome product of the
churn. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
"
Who Core ?
Suppose that proposed public huprovo-
muutri , such as parks and boulevards , do
bonollt individual property owners. Who
cures , so long as tlioy benefit seventy
thousand other individual whpso collect
ive name ie the city of Omaha ? The mossbacks -
backs , skinlllnts and cont-pcr-ccnters who
oppoau every move towards beautifying
and adorning this community in sections
dibtanttiom their unimproved real estate ,
should be taught to take a book seat.
Who cares whether they are Miownto the
rear ?
So far us the ) ) ) ' ! ( i concerned , and it
fuel * that it ratloou n progressive ami en >
lightened public sentlmoiit , It euros noth
ing whether John if ones and John Smith
have money put in their bovoral poekeU
by the rise of property consequent upon
1:1 oat improvements whloh Qniuhft needs ,
because they will incT'mse the value of
property in every section of the city.
Omaha has been kept back long enough
b.V the .shortsighted solllslmcsb of v/eullhy
property owners , who cannot stand the
pioipority of otheis , while they view
wilh solemn cheerfulness their own heavy
bunk aeeounts , The very men who have
fought p.iving and grading and parking ,
bocaiiMt tn | y owned no property whhsli
would bu immediately brnutittbd , have
reaped the handsnmc&t returns from tin *
general rise in real estate , which public
iiuprovonu'nls have caused in Omaha.
Who cures whether Omulm is to be a
gre.it city , an attraclivo city , a city
tilled with the best class of residences ,
and thiobbing with industrial and com-
merolal life ? Let tlioie who do , sco to
it that , while K is possible to do so most
cheaply , it l js aiido iu swaddling clothes
and prepares for appanil suilwl to it *
rapidly approaching future.
Oini valued democratic conloinmunr.y
in ODC6 more indulging in glittering
and bonntful generalities about its cir
culation. It informs its readers that it
had ii l.trgor buna fide circulation than
any murning paper In the state and
makes * omo further remarks about the
number of papers' printed on Sunday ,
' occluding the Omaha UEK. " Hut it
still declines to give h ur s. Facts spnuk
for themselves. The .worn circulation
of thollKKhtandieaeli day at the head
of ltd columns , Tho'lter. k.iows what it
is talking about whan it insists thnt its
morning edition every day of publication
in the week has moro paid purchasers
than the Herald. The circulation of its
combined daily editions every week is
double that of its esteemed dcmocr.Ulo
contemporary. Last week , for instance ,
the daily DEB sold 75,000 copies , nnd it
was only an average week for Hun's too.
The BKK. gava up some time ago Indefi
nite statements of its growth and now
shows Us readers and patrons what it is
doing in the way of ciiculatlng a good
paper six days out of the suvon in every
week. The figures speak for themselves
Our vain glorious contemporaries should
follow suit or hold their peace ,
Tun Herald persists in referring to the
IKE as an evening paper , the object
bdlng to mislead some people into the
belief thnt the UF.K has no morning
edition. The attention of the Herald is
called to the fact that the average circu
lation of the morning edition of tlio HKI :
last week was 0,5113 , and the circulation
of the evening edition was 5,8711 , the total
average circulation of both editions being
12,412. See the sworn statement of circu
lation at the head of this page. The
rirculatlon of cither edition of the UIE :
is larger than that of the Herald.
Tin : wicked Commissioner Sparks is
again at his old tricks. Ho has rejected
the claim of a Wisconsin mortgage com
pany to about 123,000 , acres of railroad
indemnity lands selected by the usual
diversions from the Intent of the law.
The mo't breathless shriekers that
"Sparks must go" are the land grant
.jobbois whoso grasping lingers have boon
caught securely in the vice of the general
land olllco.
Oxi : ofl'eet of the southwestern strikes is
se'eti in the unemployed workingmen who
are coming to Omaha from a score of
cities and towns in Missouri , Kansas and
Iowa , In the hope of fimliiig support for
their families. Striking is a costly rem
edy. The recoil of the gnu is often more
deadly than the discharge where ignorant
hands sight the weapon and handle the
rammer.
Other IjumtH Tliun Oura.
The political kaloido epa abroad has
made another turn and the colors change
at Westminster from portents of defeat
to the homo rule bill to a bright hope of
the future success of the measure. A
liberal meeting , mollifying assurances of
concession from the premier and prom
ises of support in return from the disaf
fected liberals arc the ellicient causes of
the change. Hack of all lays a threat of
a dissolution of parliament in ca-o , the
home rule bill was not passed to its
second reading. Anxious members ,
whoso election barely six months ago had
taxed their purses , wore not anxious for
another campaign especially as the mutterings -
torings of discontent ut their refusal to
follow Mr. Ghulitotio'n In.ul presaged defeat -
feat if an appeal were made at the polls.
Mr. Gladstone has agreed to concede
Irish representation at Westminister in
return for n majority for the bill on its
second reading. This is the only conces
sion except that of n delay until autumn
before the measure is taken out of the
hands of the committee and brought for
ward for goncnil debate. In yielding
this point ho swoops nw.w the argument
that his homo rule hill was virtually dis
memberment , and he conciliates Cardinal
Manning who opposed the measure by-
cauwj the objectionably cl ; : > e would re
move tlio bulk of Ualholics from parlia
ment , Mr , Pnrnoll is reported as ap
proving tlio change in programme. Ho
is not reported as suggesting it , which
was probably the case. No one doubts
that there is and has been for months a
perfect accord between the Irish and
liberal leaders , however carefully each
has concealed tlio fact from the public ,
Mr. Gladstone has always boon fertile in
political resources. Ho has played a
waiting game in the present campaign
which is t.ure . to win in the end.

ItJ is announced that L'r.ince refuses to
authorize the lottery to raise funds to
contiuo work on the Panama canal. Tliat
project has already cost $150,000,000. In
response ) to a , request of do Le.ssops , the
French government sent an export to look
over tlio ground and report how uuioli
work has boon dona , how much remains
yet to do , and the probable post to com
plete it. Tills commissioner has just re
turned to Franco , and deelaics that but
little over one-eighth of the work neces
sary to imiku the canal navigable tor ships
has been finished , As this would make
the expenditure about $1,000,000,000 , oven
allowing for considerable exaggeration
on the part of the expert , the French gov
ernment wisely declined to countenance
putting any more money In It , Thogreat-
or part of the $150,000,000 already spunt
in the work was subscribed by the French
people. For a year past the government
has boon expecting unfavorable reports
from Pmituim , knowing that If they oainq
u panto would bu likely to be precipi
tated in France , as if contributions omisud
work would stop , and tlion the money
would bo us completely lost tw the
world as { ( It had buun cast into the sen ,
To tidu over the uxpootc < | panic the
bank of Franco has been accumulating
gold for the hist twelve months and has
now about $50.000,00 ! ) more limn it had in
April , 1833. Tills has bison drawn from
all the world , but particularly from great
Britain and the United States. When the
French roalUo tliat nil this expenditure
has been vain a financial crisis in Franco
is probable , which will all'oct , to some degree -
gree , all the bourses of liuropo. The fore
thought which has made provWtm to
meat the crisis , however , is llkuly to re
duce its ottucU to u minimum.

Tlio decision of the French cabinet to
expel the Orleans princes , which was
announced on Tuesday , was followed on
Thursday by the introduction of a bill in
the chamber of deputies looking to this
result. Tlift move is u mistaken one. The
princes have buun for years quiet and ra-
spt'otcd citi/tins of the republic , serving
iu her armies , and to all appearances at
least devoted to her intorcbU , Nothing
is moro likely to bring to them public
fa\or than the sympathy which would
otrt.iinly follow Ihuir exile from Franco.

The ceremony of christening the rerj
young monarch of Spnn ( , born last week
took place on Sunday , and not only It
the royal cLapol at Madrid , whore it tool
placa , but throughout ! the kingdom , i <
was , doubtless , treated ns a very notabh
event. The death Of King Alfonso oo
currcd on the 25lh of November last
The succeeding four mouths have boot :
remarkably tranquil , but the lull ha ;
scomod ominous , as if CarliMs and re1
publicans alike wore disposed in
stead of vexing the uncertain
reign of Princess Mercedes undct
the queen recent to awail
rather the event of last Monday. Now
their plans may bo developed ; nnd , ol
course , the suggested marrlngo of Prince
Jaime , the son of Don Carlos , witli Al
fonso's oldest daughter , the princess ol
the Austrias , will no longer bo mooted ,
But for the moment the future of the re *
gcncy scorns at least as scmiro with the
babvprlnco as with the infanta Mercedes ,
Still the birth of a male heir to the throne
of Spain is not regarded with that jo.v
which would accompany such nn event
In a country whcro the monarchy is
stable. The quiet which has prevailed
in Spain sinee the death of Alfonso XIII
has been in largo part n waiting on the
result of the queen regent's confinement.
The 3'oting widow lias governed
wisely with tlio prudent counsels
of the veteran Sagasta ; she has
made friends with tlio family oi
the king , and his sisters , the princesses
iMibolIn and Kutalio , liavo been the con
stant inmates of the palace ; and the
Oarlist pretensions have been hold in
abeyance for tlmro was a well understood
hope that should the child , like the other
children of Alfonso , bo a girl , the dis
turbing question might bo settled uy the
betrothal of tlio olttost princess , Maria do
las Mercedes , to Jaime , the son of Don
Carlos. The pretender himself is grow
ing old , and the hardships of campaign
ing no longer have that relish for him
they had fifteen or oven ton years ago.
Ho would have boon quite content to
lot things take their course until ten
years hence the princess should arrive at
the age of 10 and bo declared queen of
Spain , and bo married to his son , who
would then bo 25. Now there is appre
hension of trouble once more.
AND still the complaints como in from
clti/.ens and strangers Halike that our
streets are unmarked with their proper
names , and that travel n'round ' the city is
rendered inconvenient ! because one
street looks so much llk'p another , and
the council has provided no way of dis
tinguishing thorn. Lot us know promptly
how much it will cost to have the gas
lamps lettered. After that the question
of stiout signs should bu taken up.

Charley Collins Makes a Ton Strike.
"I have just returned from California , "
said Jndgo Lyitlc. "You lemember Chailey
Collins , who used to run a newspaper In
Omaha , and who went from hoio to Sioux
City ? Well , I mot him in San Diego.
Charley , who always was a hustler , has
hustled together between 825CCO , and 530,000
In that city during Ihe eighteen months that
ho has bcon there. Ho went there with a
very small amount of money compaiallvely
nothing ami began dabbling In real estate.
Ho caught on In cicat shape , and made
money rapidly. Ho will continue to do so ,
as San Diego pioporty Is looking UD. It IB
the best harbor on the Pacific
coast , and is now the teiminus of
ono of the ti ans-contincntal railroads
It Is bound to bo a big town. The climate Is
the best on the coast , John I. Hedlck , by the
way , has Invested In Los Angeles and San
Diego pioDcity. His ical estate In Los Angeles -
gelos , for which ho re-cenllv paid 510,000 , has
advanced a little. In Sau Diego ho lias been
moro lucky. Ono uloco ot his propoitv ,
which cost him ? 10,000 , has advanced 20 per
, cent , while another piece , for which he paid
50,000 , is now held at 817,000. "

"Yes , I am coing to take my star to the
Jilack hills and make a bushel of money In

said Mr. "Hustler" Kelly , manager ot Grace
Ilawthcme , an actress "who Is no empress ,
no duchess , no countess , no baroness ,
but whose only misfortune lies in the
fact of her having been born In the United
States , and consequently obliged to speak
Jbnpllsh without a dialect. " "Yes. there's
plenty ot money In the Ulactt hills' " contin
ued Mr. Kelley. "and wu me going to have
some of it Why look at what Col. J. II ,
Woods has done up there. Ho loft Omaha
without a cent Ho didn't forget his

It ho bought an old circus tent from
King , Hurlc &Co. , now exhibiting in Omaha ,
and also a few cages of animals and some
horses , the total bill amounting to 551,400. ,
Taxing this truck to the Black Hills , he hired
a lot of vatiety performers , here and there
and everywhere , for little or nothing , and
opened up a circus In flust-class shape. It
was tlie first clicus that over visited the
Hills , and It took like wild-lire. Two per.
formances daily , standing room only , people
turned away. Just think of It , In fourteen
weeks Woods cleared 814,000. , "
"Why doesn't ho pay some of his debts In
Omaha ? " Inquired an Interested bystander.
"Probably because ho doesn't have lo , " replied -
plied Mr , Kelly.
"Well , he oughl to pay Tom MulvihlJI , the
bill poster , that SWX ) which he borrowed from
him , " said the bystander ; "Tom let him have
the money without any security. "
That doesn't surprise mo , ' * said Kelly ,
"that man Woods will KO Into almost any"
bank and talk the president Into letting him
havii 81,000 on no better security than n cage
of sick monkeys , Didn't ho do It right here

"I believe ho did do Bouietlilnz of that
kind , " replied the bystander. "JIolws gall
enough to do anything. Why , after
