TUB Tammany wing of the Now York
democracy Is said to be a good deal exer

'tl without a head , and there is really no
ttftn In its ranks who has tlio qualifica

down by the great sachem , Whatever
may bo thought of the political methods
"of John Kelly , it must bu granted that
lie was a man of extraordinary force ,
certainly without a peer among the de
mocracy of Now York as a leader. Dur
ing Inn illness Tammany was managed by
a committee of twenty-four , which is a
Somewhat cumbrosomo method of con
ducting such an organization , and now

iety la whether this method shall bo con-

chieftain bo chosen. It will not bo

peter and methods la one of the most tin-

KfTorts to Tax the
The crank who grinds the republican
railroad organ of this city thinks that
Senator Van Wyck'a passage of the bill to
compel the land grunt railroads to take out
patents nnd to pay taxes on their lands
was no are.it victory after all , nnd
asserts that Van Wyck ought to have
finished the job long since , nnd calls at
tention to the fact that Valentino had the
same 'kind of n bill introduced in
the house four years ago. Mean
time , remarks the disgruntled antl
A'an Wyck editor , the railroads
have been selling their lands.
"Tho Union Pacific land ofllco Is all but
out of business , and the passage of the
hill now would affect that corporation so
little that it is supremely careless of the
matter. " The door ia to bo locked after
the horse is stolon.
Facts give the lie to this gatizv fiction.
In February , 1830 , the Union Pacific rail
road had taken out patents for 2,110,831
acres out of 13,221,000 of its grant. Of
this amount of the original land subsidy
brtwccn five and six millions were in Ne
braska. According to the books of the
general land olllco in Washington there
remained , loss than four months ngo ,
2,500,000 acres of Union Pacific
lands in this state which wore still tin-
patented. So much for the usolcssnuss
of Senator Vun vVyck's land tax bill as
affecting the Union Pacific. Hut suppos
ing that every acre of Union Pacific
lands had been patented , what bearing
would that have on the right or wrong of
corporations sharking their just bur
dens of taxation. Tlio nation has do
nated to great monopolies more
than 215,000,000 acres of the public do
main , of which many millions of acres
are still in the hands of the corporations ,
untaxcd and untaxable , without national
legislation to force tlio issue of patents.
A senator is supposed to legislate for the
whole country , and not to confine his at
tention to the interests of his homo con
stituency alone. Such a calibre of man
would doubtless suit the small , base
crowd who act as cappers for the Ne
braska railroads , but will hardly ( ill the
requirements of the voters of the state
which ho represents.
It is the height of impudence
in the Omaha republican . organ
of the railroads to challenge
tlio work of Senator Van Wyck
to compel the land grant roads to bear
their duo proportion of the burdens of
taxation. That paper has never in its
whole existence advocated the taxation
of railroad lands. When Judge Crounso
in 1873 got his bill through the house of
representatives compelling the Union Pa
cific to take out patents on its unpat
ented lands , the republican state conven
tion made that bill a part of its plat
form. Tlio editor of the IIE $ , as chair
man of the committee on resolutions ,
framed this resolution and after a hot do.
bate carried -it through the convention.
The only opposition to this plank was from
a former editor of the Republican. The
bill went to tlio senate as several such
bills have , and was there defeated by the
late Senator Hitchcock , one of the owners
of the Omaha Hcpublicaii. It % vas this
invaluable service which made him the
choice of Jay Gould and the senatorial
factotum of that Wall street worthy.
The refreshing impudence of claiming
credit for Valentine for getting a bill
through to tax railroad lands is equal
to Jim Laird's claim for credit for
introducing a similar bill dur
ing the last session. The point
involved was that tlieso great
railroad strikers managed to got bills in
about the time that congress adjourned
and when they knew that there was no
possible chance that the measure would
ever see daylight in the senate. From
the time when Crounse got his bill
through the house there lias never been
much trouble in securing land grant leg
islation in that body. The opposition
always came from the house of lords
where tiio corporation attorneys and
laud syndicates have controlled ma
jorities and thwarted the will of the people
ple , This is the citadel which Charles II.
Van Wyck has assailed with increasing
perseverance nearly live years and which
last week ho took by storm in a charge
which is described as the most brilliant
piece of parliamentary strategy witnessed
in the senate for years.
Indicting Ills Party.
It is not at all remarkable that Secre
tary Manning , having passed through
several months of severe illness from
which ho is not yet fully recovered , should
have as one of the lingering effects of his
ailment a somewhat morbid state of
mind. It is remembered that Mr. Man-
nine carried with him into his chamber of
sickness a keen and perhaps poignant
recollection of the repudiation of Ins
theories aud the defeat of his plans at the
hands of a majority of his party , and it is
evident that lie has been brooding over
this unhappy experience at the very out
set of his public career. Having been a
rather successful politician in New York ,
exerting at last as the most active sup
porter of Mr. Cleveland's ' causa an
almost undisputed influence in
the councils of his party ,
ho went to Washington
doubtless with little misgiving as to his
ability to project his power to the con
trol of other wings and elements of the
paity. Ho encountered disappointment
and defeat , and to-day hardly any man
in the democratic party exerts less influ
ence than Daniel Maiming. It is obvious
ttUo that Mr. Manning realizes ills for
lorn position.
There is no present interest in the
financial or economic views of the secre
tary of the treasury. They have been re
jected , and whether ho remains in a posi
tion to again present thorn to the public
attention or they are renewed , by a suc
cessor , there is every reason to bcliovo
that the history already made respecting
them will bu repeated. Neither is it im
portant to consider the pessimistic opin
ions of Mr. Manning regarding the pres
ent condition of tlio country. It would
not bo diUlcult to show that they have
a very slender foundation , ' and
it might with equal case bo demonstrated
that whatever has recently retarded the
industrial interests of the country , or
whatever dangers now threaten them ,
are duo rather to the essentially sectional
policies announced by the administration
than to the rejection of those policies ,
The unquestioned power of Wall street
ideas iu shaping the financial opin ions of
the president and his secretary of the
treasury was not reassuring to the
country.
It is , however , a matter of Interest that
Mr. Manning , iu his letter to the presi
dent tendering his resignation as secre
tary of tholtrcasury , very unequivocally
arraigns the democratic party as having
been unfaithful to Its traditions and its
pledges , and in this ho has the concur
rence of the president PiKgcn the
lines that oppress the solicitude of
Mr. Manning respecting the policies
ho has advocated , nro to bo read
n clear and severe condemnation of
his patty , the force of which Uyory
greatly increased by the full acquiescence
of Mr. Cleveland. There Is reason to
suspect that with all his political oxpc
rionco Mr. Manning had given but very
superficial attention to the later charac
ter of the democracy , or ho would not bo
seriously affected by its failure to regard
either traditions or pledges. It is more
than probable that Mr. Manning will not
return to public life , notwithstanding the
apparently urgent desire of the president
that he shall do so , and In such event his
letter will have very great value as the
deliberate and final judgment of a distin
guished democrat upon the conduct and
character of his party as at present or
ganized aud controlled.
ANT class of men who seek to revive
the labor agitation , now generally sub
siding with the promise that before the
summer passes all controversies will bo
adjusted aud peaceful relations between
employers and employed bo universally1
restored , deserve to bo branded as enc
mies of workingmen and tlio public wol
faro. Yet there are agitators and mal
contents who are talking of stirring up
now strife , and members of this class are
reported at work iu some localities to
this end. They are for the most part
men who live by strife nnd controversy ,
thriving upon the disorder which brings
loss and privation to their fallows. In
tclligent workingmen are In no danger
of beinc misled by these agitators , but
the thoughtless fall a prey to their deceptive
tivo arguments , and unfortunately the
thoughtless often outnumber the
judicious and thus have the power
to coerce them into a false
position damaging to all. There is good
reason to bcliovo that were there a gen
eral subsidence of labor difficulties , with
fair assurance that tiioy would not bo re
vived for at least a year or two and wo
do not think such assurance impossible
if wise counsels prevail among working
men the oflect would be to materially
stimulate industrial enterprises and im
prove business in all departments. The
matter is one which commends itself to
the serious consideration of intelligent
workingmen , and those who give it such
attention can safely be trusted not to
3'ield to the appeals of reckless agitators.
Fortunately for Omaha there are no indi
cations of any renewal of the slight labor
troubles of last spring , which the Knights
of Labor in this city assisted materially
in allaying.
Poor Economy in Grading.
The lively debate upon the grading or
dinance in the last session of the council
brings up once more the subject of the
costly mistakes which Omaha has made by
her hap-hazard system of grading her
public streets. It is high time that the
solution of the problem shall be left in
the hands of professional engineers and
the responsibility for success or failure
placed on the shoulders where it ought to
rest. For years past the establish
ment of grades has meant a sharp
light between tlio public interests
and those of the individual prop
erty owners directly affected. Every
change of grade has been bitterly re
sisted. Every original grade has been
moro strenuously attacked. The engi
neer's oflico has been besieged by a score
of opposing interests each anxious that
the grade established should be fixed with
a view to doing the least present damage
to property and all quite indifferent as to
the future effect upon the city at largo.
As a consequence wo have had grades
and changes of grades in every direction ,
one year a cut and another year
a fill , and the next year a wholesale
abandonment of all previous profiles.
This has been a costly and
a disastrous method of doing business.
The time has come when all improve
ments made in Omaha should bo built on
a permanent foundation. There ought
to bo no moro half-way business. Our
thoroughfares should be made on grade
lines which will servo the purpose for all
time to pome , no matter who is temporar
ily inconvenienced by the improvement.
It is the height of folly to cut a street six
feet one year , and to go through the same
process of appraisement of damages con
test in the council and suits in the courts
in the year following. The council
should stand firm in resisting pressure to
force them to modify or abandon grades
which professional judgment and their
own coincide in deciding arY > the best for
the interests of the city. Half-way work
work is always poor economy.
IT is amusing to hoar the pathetic com
plaints of public corporatious like street
car and water companies that patronage
will not yet justify extended improve
ments of their systems. Such enterprises
based on franchise rights are tlio most
profitable in the country , and map the
richest returns from their investment be
cause they become public necessities and
enforce a growing patronage with the
growth of the communities where they
are planted. An investigation by a trade
paper into the value of thirty seven street
railways in seven cities of the country
shows that the stocks of all but seven
are above par. The stock of thirty is
above 115 , while that of twenty-seven is
above 135 , of seventeen 175 and over , and
of fourteen above 200. The stocks of
water companies of equal ago will show
scarcely less favorable statistics , The
value of those corporations consists
largely in the value of the franchise for
the occupation of public thoroughfares ,
which once acquired can never be seri-
iously invalidated by threatened com
petition. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
rfcnn : of the relaying of disturbed pave
ments is being very poorly done and
shows either ignorance on the part of the
workmen or wretched supervision by the
board of public works. \ \ o refer especi
ally to the granite blocks on Farnam
street. The paviors are attempting to do
what has never been done anywhere else
to ram into place twenty-pound stones
with light pine scantlings for rammers ,
The result is a surface of hummocks and
hollows , which is destructive to rolling
stock and horse flesh , and which is driv
ing travel to other streets.

Gcnernl Lntal ' Commissioner.
There is no qucs'Uori' that Secretary
Lamar and Mr. SpHrks. exceeded their
powers in suspending land entries while
the laws under wtiicji such entries wore
made wor.0 atill in operation. The
prompt revocation off the order was the
only course to bo pursued. Hut there is
no reason why a mistake admittedly made
with the object of protecting the govern
mcut should bo used ns a bomb to shell
an honest and capable official out of the
fortress from which ho is waging such
effective war against the thieves
and plunderers ot the public domain ,
The very day after the secretary of the
interior aud the commissioner of the
general laud ofllco revoked the obnox
ious order , the houao repealed the preemption
emption , timber culture and desert laud
nets on the very grounds which Mr.
Sparks made the basis of his suspension
of their operations.
The howl against the laud com mis
sioncr arises from the fact that for the
first time , with one exception , in twenty
live years the ofllco Is In the hands of a
man who cares moro for the interests of
actual settlers than for the pocket books of
railroad wreckers , land syndicates and
pre-emption grabbers. The surgeon's
knife has been used freely to cut off the
oxcrcseiicos which have grown with the
growth of the operations of our land
laws and the vigorous policy of for
rettingoulfraiulnnd jobbery , lias stricken
dismay to the hearts of the plunderers of
the public domain.
Mr. Sparks has made mistakes. Hut
unlike liis predecessors every mistake
made has been in the line of
a more rigid execution of the
laws for the purpose of preserving
tlio remnants of a magnificent landed
inheritance for actual tillcm of the soil ,
lie has made no mistake which , con
trary to the laws , has donated millions of
acres of the public lands tb giant corpo
rations. He has made no mistake through
which wealthy syndicates have been able
to divert vast sections of tlio public do
main to their own personal aggran-
dixement. lie hns committed no error
that has caused a suspicion of his honesty
on the part of honest men. And that is
why the chorus against Sparks rings along
every watercourse monopoli/.ed by bogus
pro-emptors , floats in waves of sound
across miles of timber claims on which a
tree has never flourished , nnd echoes
loudly from tlio offices of great monop
olies , whoso dishonest possessions have
been wrested from their grasp by the
strong arm of the general land com
missioner.
