The week just closed lias been crowned with substantial rewards for Scimlor Van Wyck. It Logan with his brilliant vie tory in defeating Senator Edmunds' at tempt to table his amendment to the Northern Pacific forfeiture bill , nntl closed with his successful nnd audacious movement which carried to its passage the railroad land taxation mensuro nnd placed it in the hands of n conference committee of both houses In readiness for final action. "Brilliant strategy , " ssiys the New York Herald , "carried Senator \ an Wyck's measure to tax the rail road land grants and to relieve the people from n part oi tlio burden of unjust taxation under which they have been staggering. " The scene In the senate , records tho'Now York Timts , when "Seuntor Van Wyck debated bated successfully with senator after sen tor , and sometimes with two or thrco together , was watched with tlio greatest glee by a majority of his colleagues , who enjoyed the debate muro tlmn any siml lur discussion of the session. Mr , Van Wyck answered Kdmunds in n way that did not at nil plcaso that senator. A Dolpli undertook to discompose Iho braska senator and made a dismal failure. Mr. Mitchell' tried tlio same thing nnd met the samu fate. Then the two Oregon senators nnd Mr. Edmunds together plied Mr. Van Wyck with ques lions and found him ready to answer each with n retort that was right to the point. Mr. Harrison was equally unstio cessful in his attempt to overthrow the Nebraska senntor. After all these had been silenced , tlio last attack on Mr. Van \Vyok was made by Mr. Plumb , who would have boon better satisfied with himself after it was over if ho had loft the Nebraska senator alone. " "It was a bad defeat for the railroad senators , " says the Times. The people of Nebraska will take a just pride In reading the praises which the nbillty and honest work of their senator has drawn out from the leading papers of the country. His victory over the monopoly senators is a victory for the tax-payers of the west , and a triumph ot perseverance and energetic labor carried riod on through live years of public service. After tlio Battle. Announcement will bo made on Thurs day by tlio detoatcd English cabinet whether they will resign their ollices or appeal to the country by a dissolution of parliament. Tlio majority by which the homo rule bill was rejected gives thorn the option of turning over the govern niont to their opponents , or of demand ing the popular verdict on their course through a new election nnd n now parlia ment. The defeat of the government bill by the decisive majority of thirty seems to have been unexpected and may materially affect the decision of the cabinet. Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues may feel it advisable under the circumstances to permit the formation of a coalition ministry and to afford the country the opportunity of seeing how fruitless will bo any attempt to carry on the govern ment with a parliament so divided as the present. On the other hand there is strong pressure from the angered con stituencies to force an immediate disso lution nnd to nflbrd the people the op portunity of hurling their traitorous rep resentatives from a power which they have abused. It matters little what may be the pres ent decision , the people must have their say in tlio end. Dissolution may bo tem porarily postponed , but it is inevitable before the close of autumn. Then the liberal leaders , led by the greatest Eng lish statesman of the ago , will appeal not to men who make concessions only when they are compelled to but to tlio body of the English people among whom etill remains the old and homely English sentiment of fair play. The Business Situation. The general trade outlook has many encouraging features. In Omaha jobbers report heavier sales and easier collections , while the bank clearings continue to show a largo increase in the volume of business. The disturbing eflcct of the labor agita tion is still felt in some branches of busi ness , but it is causing loss inconvenience and apprehension , and there is a bettor feeling in nearly all departments of trade and industry. Exports of brcndstufl's , provisions and cotton continue very fair , and the homo-trade distribution of farm products and manufactured goods is larger iu the aggrrogato than during the olosing weeks of last month , although traders as n rule nro not buying much in advance of actual requirements. A good deal moro business has boon done in most lines 'during the past fortnight tnan was thought probable during the nroyalonca of the scare and uncertainty about the labor troubles , but merchants do not look for any sustained general activity owing to the lateness of the season. There is moro conlidonco , howovci1 , in the pros pects for nn early opening of a successful fall season in most branches. The dry goods market continues mod erately uotivo. Wool is In bettor re quest , nnd prices throughout the west show an average advance of two conn over hist year's clip. The iron market is linn , and leading mills are running on full time. Sales of steel rails last weak footed up a total of GO.OW.tons. During the past wcok leading operators in wheat in Now York , Chicago nnd other grain centers were strong buyers for a rise. The result was a strong market nnd yalues advancing from 3 to 4 cents a bushel. The change of speculative sentiment springs from several oausos , among whinh are unfavorable crop reports from some of the foreign wheat Holds and from Minnesota nnd Dakota , and the reduction in visible stocks consequent upon the recent - cent liberal export movement nnd lighter receipts ; but the chief element of strength it probably to be found in the largo short interest outstanding at low prices. Tlio buying for short account hsii been au important factor iu helping the advance in prices. Export business early in the week was quite active , but foreign markets have not responded to ths advance on this side , and there has been less doing within a day or two. The decrease iu the visible supply of wheat last week was about 8,000,000 bushels. Stocks of winter wheat are light in all markets. Droughts and chinch bug * uro causing Homo apprehen sion iu the northwestern wheat belt , and there are the usual reports of insect rav age ? in the wmtor wheat sections , but as a yet there itf no reliable evidence ot sari- o'us Injury to the crop In any quarter. In the west corn prices are } cent lower enlarger larger receipts , nnd in Now York the Juno option is 3 cents lower as a result of free selling caused by a feeling of in security as to the keeping quality ol stocks in store , which nro largely mntlo up of winter-shelled grains recently shlupcd by lake and cannl from Cliicngo How Ito Dodged. According to Judge Post's York organ , which never loses an opportunity of stabbing the senator , Senator Van- Wyck dodged voting on tlio olcomnrgar- ino bill. As the article making the charge was written before that measure reached the sennto , it would bo interesting to know where the editor obtained tlio In formation which ho had the distinction of exclusively publishing. A glance at the dispatches of Monday will show just how Senator Van Wyck "dodged" on the question. It was in his usual manner. He led the debate against shelving the bill as it came from the house , nnd had the satisfaction of winning a victory on behalf of Iho friends of the dairy interests nnd the thousands of petitioners from the state which ho represents. The bill will bo considered by the senate and in all probability will become n law as the re suit of Senator Vnn Wyck's exertions. This is the kind of "dodging" which the people appreciate. It is ono of the many political virtues of General Van Wyck that ho is a man ol strong convictions nnd is always ready to stand or fall with tlio open expression of ins political faith. During his five years of senatorial service his voice has been heard and his vote re corded on every issue of na tional interest. It has never required n smelling committee to ascertain what the views of the senator from Nebraska were on any leading question. The pub Ho has always found that out without much delay. No member of the body in which ho is nn important nnd dis tinguished factor , has been moro mil formly in Ins scat or more faithful in tlio discharge of his duties to his constituents. When the scavengers of the railroad organs discover that the senator has "dodged" a vote on any important issue , lot them mark the record with rod pencil and preserve it carefully for campaign use. It will bo a rare and a precious document. A. 1'crtinont Inquiry. When this paper propounds the very pertinent question whether wo have a chairman of the board of public works , our amiable contemporary , the Herald , responds thaf'thattho city has an honest and efiicicnt chairman of the board of public works who Itnds time not only to discharge his duties well , out also keeps ono eye on the city engineer's depart ment and several jobbers. " This contnmptiblo fling at the city engineer , coupled with the in timntlon that Mr. House has been the means of throttling jobbers with whom either the engineer or somebody connected with this paper has been in collusion , cannot bo passed by in silence. The relations of Andrew Rosewatcr to the chief proprietor of this paper never have and never will eflect its views upon any question of wiblic policy. As oltj * engineer Andrew Kosewatcr must cither stand or fall upon his own merits. If Mr. House or the adventurer who edits the Herald knows anything that in any way afl'ects the integrity of the city engineer let them produce their charges and give the mayor and council n chance to investigate and to put a more honest man in the plaoo. If there has been any collusion with jobbery in the engineer's oflicc , which Mr. House has discovered , it is his duty to inform the council at once. If he or his chnmpion of the Herald knows anything connect ing the publisher of this paper with job bery in any form wo challenge them to make it known. Our inquiry ns to the whereabouts of Mr. House did not emanate from the engineer's oflico or any other oflice , pub lic or private. Wo are in the habit of inquiring into the conduct of local im provements , and wo always discuss them without fear or favor. When Mr. House was proposed for the chairmanship of the board of public works he received our endorsement , and his unanimous confirmation by tlio council was largely duo to the fact that the BEE had com mended him as honest and capable. It has turned out that Mr. House , however competent ho may be , has shown himself negligent and inefficient. Every hour of the day wo stumble upon some public improvement that needs his personal su pervision , but has been overlooked. Wo do not know where Mr. House spends his days or what takes up most of his time , but everybody who walks our streets knows that ho does not supervise public works. While James Croightonxnay have been rough and severe in his dealings with contractors and people who obstructed street * or failed to make ordered im provements , there was no trouble about finding him where work was going on. When the council ordered an improve ment Mr. Creighlon saw that it was done and done promptly and properly. The people and the council have been very forbearing ; with Mr. House. Wo will go into details if it is necessary to show what a wretched and slovenly super vision our public works have received since Mr. House has taken chnrgo. The facts are notorious as well as aggravat ing , Mr. House must either mend his ways and enforce the orders of the coun cil nnd his own orders , or ho musfHixl komo position that will demand less at tention on his part. There is no use of mincing matters any longer. The board of public works and its chairman must either show moro reason for their exist ence , or they might as well bo abolished. MR. LAMAR once compared JofT Davis to George Washington , and Zach Chan dler fired a shot nt him that reverberated around the entire globe. And now wo nro told by the Omaha champion of job bers that Ilofl'mau is no more a horse thief than lllaine is a house breaker. This is hard on Mr. Rhino.

" ' 6ENATOH VAN TCI'OK EXPLAINS. HIsKnovftU Ijftml Purohftno , nnd Ell 1)111 Mclntlng Thereto. From tli ( Sfuvird Jffporter. WASHIN-OTON , D. C. May 2J , 1S30. Toth Editor of the Itoportcr : I cannot bcllovo yoi Intentionally would thus mtstato facts ns yoi did In the following , In your paper otAprl 20,18SO : Senator Van Wyck has received groa credit f 10111 thq Omaha Br.r and some othe patters for the passage of the Knevals lam bill. The fact Is Ihere nro two bills pending for the settlers on the Kuovals lauds. Sena tor Van Wyck's bill has passed thoisenate and Is now pending in the house. It pro vides that all persons holding a governmeii title to these lands shall lib paid 53.60 i > c acre. Congressman Laird's bill , which ha passed the house and Is now pending In tin senate , provides only for payment tonctua settlers. A large pait of these lands linvi been sold to speciilalors , Senator Vnu Wye ! is prominent , liavlng bought 1,200 ncies of th < lauds. Ills bill therefore provides fo the payment of 83.50 to all holders ot titles Including speculators , and If the bill become , n law Senator Vnn Wyck would recolvo frou the national treasury more than 8-1,000. The senator's anxiety to secure the pnssngo of hi own bill Is thus quite easily explained. Mr hnhil's bill jnovlde.s for the payment otlbr money that the settlers actually paid , nut seems by long odds the more merltorous ml of the two. Vim Wyck's bill seems to cove a little bill for himself , and will not lie like ! ) to pass tlio houvp. It Is Imped that Mr Laird's bill pass the senate , and thtissecuri justice to the nctual settler , whether tin siK-eulalors make the big piollt they hope to or not. Tills is only n sample of the many , In tcntionnl or otherwise , misrepresent tions which at this limo frequently ap pear in certain journals in Nebraska This species of warfare will probably no commend itself to the judgment of fair minded friends or enemies. I only notic it because its gross mis-statements secir to reflect upon my personal integrity. The facts are , in the 4th congress , ii which Mr. Laird was not a member , I introduced a bill for relief of settlers am purchasers of these lands , etc. The bil pns.sod thn senate without amondmoti but failed in the house. In the -tSth congress gross i introduced iho same bill , oxccp tlio first bill gave $3.50 per aero , whiol was then supposed would settle with Mr Knevals , but before the meeting of the , 18th congress , a settlement was made with Mr. Knevals on the basis of $3.50 per aero and that sum was inserted in the bill and thai wns the only change. Mr. Laird introduced precisely the same bill in the hotibo. This bill passed the sonata that congress , out again failed in the house. In the Forty-ninth congress I introduced the samu bill in the senate , nnd Mr. Laird the sime bill in tlio house The bill paused the senate without amend ment , nnd the same bill received the recommendation of the house committee , and when considered jn the house Mr Holman , of Indiana , insisted that the bill bo amended by inserting "the price to purchasers should bo only § 1.25 per aero. Mr. Laird and mvself agreed that it wouhl bo better to let this bill pass even with Mr. Holman's nmuiidmcnt.am if we thought proper have it corrected , if possible , in conference committee. This would secure to the settlers the $3.50 do- sired. So that the only bill over consid ered in senate or house , was the ono of fered in the Forty-seventh congress , anil there was no separate bill iu the house at any time. I owned some of the Knevals land , bul as I entered it under the law and paid for it , and received patents on it , anil paid taxes about fifteen years , it was no crime. 1 probably could not benefit others without in a mensuro sharing that benefit. No ono objected when in my name nnd at my expense , thus far , I car ried the suit with Ivnovals to the United States supreme court. After the action of the house I toid Mr. Laird if I was the only ono to be benefited I would accept Mr. Hollman'fl amendment and accept $1.25 per acre , but ho thought and so did I , that a number of Bersons were m the same situation as myself. He ascertained that many others.werp to bo benefited who wcro properly entitled to the $3.50 and insisted that an effort should bo made to protect them , and Mr. Lnird and myself propose to protect them , even though I should also bo benefited. Those persons , as well as myself , were com pelled to pay Mr. Knevals $8.50 per acre to save the land and it is only this sum which is sought from the government , and this will hot repay the taxes and interest for fifteen years on the money originally paid. Let me add hero that I paid for this land in cash , not college scrip. Also the yarn in thn Omalia Republican of what I said and did with an agent of Knevals is utterly false. I never had any transac tions with nn ngent of Mr. Knevals. It so let him bo named , By the settlement. of other parties with Knevals at $ D.50 par aero , ngninsc which at the time 1 pro tested , 1 was compelled to pay Mr. Knevals $0.00 per aero so the title should not bo taken from mo by decree of United States Supreme court. C. H. VAN WYCK. A 'Wholesome Precedent. Chftfiao JJtrald , AttornoyGcner.il Garland , who never were n swallow-tall , was bidden to the wedding feast but came not. The strug gle between his affection for his chief and his aversion to broadcloth of a particular out must have been intense and soul de vouring. Ho could not well appear among a company of swallow-tails clad otherwise as to coat than with n swallow tail , and ho forbore to appear at all. * ulJ of wise saws and modern instances , the attorney general may have boon deterred by rcllecting upon tlio fate of ono who was brought in from the highway to grace n certain feast and mot with n most uncomfortable fate ; Anil when the king came In to see the guests. h saw theio a man which had not on wedding garim-nt.

Powdorly , Grand Master Workman , Cnights of Labor , Scranton. Pa. : Dear Sir : As a laboring man iu nil my early lays , and as a business mini in 1113 * latter days , and with a most profound respect 'or honest labor , and its full nnd proper support , alto capital nnd ith unrestrained iropor development please allow mo .o call your attention anil non.sldiirntion to matters ot vital importance to your organization , which if tidhure.il to by iu numbers throughout the United States , will not only make the Knights of Labor )0pular and rospcctcd , but will commit solid friendship between capital and abor so muuh ilcsinul. Mrst The actual net earnings of labor can and must bo properly oatsnuitcil. so .hat the capitalist and laboring man cui ; joth understand what efi'ect a chnngu in lie price of labor will produce for cauh. Second Any member of the Knights Labor should ba oxpullud for trunUng any man in any way to any intoxicating Innks. or receiving the same as a treat the hands of any man First , then , as to the net earnings of abor. Capital to-day lays back in uoth nndnoss and despair , and labor has m wrapped up in ignorance and franzy that is appalling ; but both can undoubtedly bo harmonized very inn- orially by you at your iiux't general meeting showing up iu Ji < ur d to all local orders , and lo capitalists nliko , that , oonsidInK a laboring man's ex penses to bo four-fifths' his hire , and that for him to ask SO per cent , ad vance on biro would bo unjust as it would increase his not earnings 100 per cent. , and that taken from the not earnings of capital on the same basis you will readily see would transfer in n majority of cases the profits of capi tal over to labor , wldlo the above , would double the laboring man's net earnings nt 20 per cont. ndvnnco. Ton per cent ndvnnco would only in crease the laborer's not earnings 5'J per cent , nnd 5 per cent ndvnnco would only increase his not onrnings 2 , " > per cent. For cxnmplo : Four-fifths ol $2.50 is $2.00 , and this $2.00 brings fout-hfths nis biro , nnd counted as oxi'cnscs leaves 50 cents not earnings. An'advnuco to his hire of 20 per cent would make his wages $3 OOj take from this his former expenses $2.00 and you will sco that his net profits nro Increased 100 per cent. By figuring 10 per cent ndviinco on the same ex ample you will sco his net oarnincs are increased 50 per cent , nnd by figuring 5 per cent advance you will see his next earnings nro increa d 25 per cont. I think you will ngreo with mo that only a very few laboring riien have over been successful business men , and , therefore , as a class have not con- oulved a true basis of figuring net earn ings of labor , while the business man can sco at a glance that to comply to a sudden demand by n strike of even 5 per cent , will tend to ruin his business unless ho can immediately secure nn ndvnnco on his productions , which can seldom bo ac complished in less than ninety days ; therefore , Knights of Labor should never strike and never boycott ; but make their demands sixty or ninety days in ad vance , and never for moro than 0 W ) 5 per cont. nt any one time ; nntl every employer should do likewise by labor in case of reducing their wages ; nnd in cither cnso an answer should bo given within thirty days tiftcr a domain ! ot ad vance or reduction has boon made. This method , if adhered to , will constantly tend to bring capital nnd labor together nnd cement them. I do not believe that you or uny other candid man will advo cate that ton hours' pay should bo given for oven nine hours' work , lot alone eight hours , which has lately been asked by so ninny of the Knights of Labor , nnd'ad - lieivtl to by n few who submitted bccauso they had con ( rants to till. 1 predict that unless nn arbitration as noted above is established , and facts by figures of profit and loss to both capital and labor can bo settled upon a scale basis that will show thuir respective val ues that much seems now us victories won by strikes , will ruin alike both capi tal mid labor to an alarming extent be fore another winter sets in upon our beloved - loved land. Now , to the second matter of import ance. You understand full wall that treating has caused many a Knight of Labor to lose his reason , and join for a time in shameful anarchistic demonstra tions ; and there is nothing that your order can do that will so efl'ectually sep arate the order from all appearance of anarchistic desires and demonstrations and thereby gain respect and favor with capitalists , as for each and every member - bor who will have his drinks , to novcr pay for any drinks in any way for any other persons ; and besides the above , such members will drink loss and save moro of their earn ings. I would to God every laboring man could sec it to his interests to abstain from all saloons nnd save to themselves and fnmilics their linrn earned money ; for I believe that saloons as a rule nro places of idleness , and , not only that , but servo ns pitfalls to millions of laboring men. It is bad enough for capitalists and business men and anarchists to give support in such an extensive measure to this nuisance known as saloons , and any reform j'ou can institute through the honest laboring class lo do away with the saloon , would in my estimation , not only servo your order beneficially , but humanity also. I trust that you will re cognize my feeble cllbrt in nil the above as coming from an entirely unbiased standpoint , as I consider the greatest good to the greatest number the motto which wo should all seek to learn. I re fer you to any whom you may know in this state us to my social business stand ing. Very truly yours , P . C. HlMKBAUGn. Not What lie Was Hired For. A man was bounding around in a car on a new Dakota road when the conduc tor cnmo through. "Can you tell mo , " said the man , with a grout show of sarcasm , "whether this car is on the track or not ? " "Sir ! " replied the conductor , machine Into his pocket , "hero is a volume of tno rules and regulations of tlio road. " "But what do I want of it ? " "Look it over and sco if you can find any rule saying that I must spend 1113' time riiiinintr along-side of the train reporting its position to the passengers. See if there is anything in thai volume that compels nip to go humping myself along on the prairie nnd yelling through the windows 'Four wheels off now1 ! or 'Hind trucks dragging on the tics ! ' or 'Gentlemen , the baggage car has just rolled into the ditch ! ' or Tns.songers will please remain seated while wo turn oil liero and scoot across the prairie after a jack rabbit1 ! Look over them rules , sir , : ind see if you find any oh" these direc tions. If you don't , in the future please take your own observations on the wheels.
