As USUAL , near the close of the scssio

Playing Traitor Again.
About ton days ago the senate , after i
sharp debate , passed n bill prolnbitinf
congressmen nnd senator's from nctinj
as attorneys of land-grant railroads
Among the senators who voted for tin
bill was General Ilawloy" , who of late ha.
shown himself to bo a most useful cor
potation lackey. Hawley had rccordc <
his vote in favor of the bill in order to bi
in a position to move a reconsideration
Hawley's motion to reconsider the voti
by which tlio senate had struck a blov
at a very profitable industry came ti |
for dobnto Wednesday , and after i
very spirited discussion it wa
carried by ton majority , Tin
bill , 'on motion of HixwJoy , wa
then ordered pigeonholed by a roforcnci
to the judiciary committee , which i ;
mainly composed of land grant rnllroae
attorneys and corporation lawyers
Senator Van Wvck was the only rcpubll
can who voted against llawloy's motion
while five democrats , with Standard Oi
Payne nt tliolr lioad , recorded their vole ,
with Hawley , Uolph , Hlpplo Mitchell
Lcland Stanford and the other monopoly
senators.
This is nnotliorsample ol Van Wyck'i
periodic bolts from his party associates
In tlio eye ? of the class of republican ;
who delight in wearing the brass collai
this is rank treason which canno
be too severely condemned. Only a fcv
weeks ago Hawley's attempt to rebuki
Van Wyck for daring to assort his owi
views with regard to Jay Gould and tin
rights of labor to fair treatment wa :
spread broadcast in this state to show
that Arnn Wyck cannot be depended up
on by his party associates. Now he ha
again rebelled and jumped the track ot
an issue in which all other republican ;
had ranged themselves by the side o
Hawley. To bo sure , this was not apart :
question in the last campaign , but it affects
focts sonio republicans very seriously
and Van Wyck has played the traito
with his eyes wide open. What wouh
become of Mr. Edmunds , for instance , ii
he had to forego the lucrative rctainei
of the Central Pacific rallroait which ha
employed him for years to light its bat
ties before tlio supreme court ? Wha
would become of Mr. Dolph if the North
ern Pacific should bo compelled to droj
him ? What would become of a dozer
other eminent statesmen in the Ameri
can house of lords if they wore deprived
of the large income which they enjoy at
corporation lawyers.
Isn't it about time to read Van Wycl
out of the party again ? What right ha
a man who votes with democrats to cu
congressmen and senators out ot the !
perquisites to call himself n republican
In principle Van Wyck may bo a true re
publican , but when ho deserts his partj
associates in a great emergency like tin
back salary grab or land grant pettifogging
fogging , ho certainly kicks over tin
traces very hard. The Chicago/ Ocean
which has a Washington bureau prcsidct
over by tlio follow whom Van Wyck onei
recalled from his South American junket
ing tour , will now administer a fitting rebuke
buko to the Nebraska crank. Tlio stal
wart railroad organs in Omaha andLin
coin will fall into line nt once and bram
Van Wyck as a double-dyed traitor.
Tha President Ignored.
It is an interesting fact that stands on
conspicuously from the recent contro
vcrsies and contests of the domocratii
leaders in congress , that there has beet
an apparently studied disregard of tin
views and wishes of the president as ai
effective or determining influence upoi
the questions at issue between the fac
lions. It would seem that the leaders 01
cither side had been actuated by a simi
lar determination to leave the man win
ought to bo regarded as the head of tin
party , and whoso opinions and desire
with reference to the policy of the part ;
ought to have at least respectful atten
tion , wholly out of consideration , as if In
were a mere ligurehoad alike in the part ;
and the government to whom the major
ity in the popular branch of congress i
not called upon to gfve more than :
merely formal or oflicial recognition
There is no democrat in or out of coi
gross whose convictions upon nil Icadin ;
questions are more pronounced or boltei
known than these of President Cleveland
and yet it is an extremely rare thing t (
find them quoted by one of his party ii
the house with a view to influencing tin
action of the majority of that body in tin
direction they take , and wo do not recal
any recent instance in which they liavi
been heartily defended when assailed
It cannot bo doubted that the presiden
feels this neglect. It has been roportet
that ho has more than once expressed f
keen souse of injury nt the indifference
shown respecting his declared yiows am
well-known wishes , and has indicatci
that it would bo most agreeable to him tc
consult with the leading members of hi :
party regarding principles am
policies. Neither the complaint :
nor the invitations of the
president have , however , had any cffecl
in drawing the congressional leaders 01
his party Into closer relations witli
him , and ho is ns completely deprived o :
all tlio prerogatives which are usually ac
corded to the executive us the head of tin
party as if ho had not been elevated tc
that position by democratic votes * He
has seen his policy of silver dcinonetixn
tion resentfully trampled under foot , his
devotion to civil service reform ridiculed
and denounced , and his policy of tarlfi
revision repudiated , while bitter factional
strife divides his party nnd threatens fu
ture disaster. Ho finds himself an almost
inappreciable factor of what now appears
to bo a hopeless minority , with some
friends generally too cowardly to declare
their fealty and a host of foou who have
the courage to proclaim their hostility ,
It is an anomalous position for n prcsl
dent whoso party is in control of the pop >
ular branch of congress by uu overwhelm' '
ing majority.
It la by no means assured , however ,
that the men who have deliberately ig
nored thu president or made war upon
him will find that they have thereby com
mended themselves to tha rank and lilo
of tlio party. It has boon stated that Mr.
Holmau exptrlonccd a very decided
ch\ngo of heart after n visit among hfa
constituents , and tlioro i n report that
coma of these democratic congressmen
who wcro with Hnndall in dofnating the
effort to have the tariff revision bill taken
up , have hoard from their constituents in
terms that are uot reassuring. So fur as
Huudall is concerned , the fooling amou ; ;
ileiuocraU is very likoljr to jjrow that his
course Ls not ouly a betr y l of the
pledges ot the party , but to far as the
prcsiiinnt is concerned , iu ntlaly ! uu-
grntcful. It may happen that Mr. Cleve
land will in the end bo a gainer with th
masses o ! his party by having been mad
a target for the "slings nnd arrows" c
aspiring "factional leaders.
DownrlKht Impertinence ,
Whenever there is n job to bo foistc
on this city or stnto there is alwnys cor
cert of notion between the Siamese twin
on Hai-noy nnd Douglas streets. It wn
so with the Holly waterworks job , tli
sandstone job , nnd nearly nil the big nn
little swindling schemes gotten up b
contractors nnd syndicates. It is s
again with the Fort Omaha job. Of tli
two champions of this scheme tlio Ikral
has been the more discreet , It simp )
gave three cheers and n tiger when Sen :
tor Mandorson's confidential dispatcli t
Dr. Miller announcing the passage of tli
bill in tlio senate was published , and in
mild way it has since tried to distract a
tcntiou from the job by crying "Foi
Robinson job. " The Ucpublica
launches out more boldly. Tli
board of trade is severely taken to las
for its interference. The mouthpiece c
the land syndicate Insolently asks "Wh
Rosowtxtcr everlastingly insists on havin
his finger in every dish , " and then ai
sorts that a "few members of the boar
of trade at his dictation" adopted resolt
lions requesting the house committee o
military affairs to delny notion on th
pending bill. This smneks very much c
the campaign. It Is hardly nppropnat
to this occasion. As a citizen nnd ta >
payer of Omaha , Rosewater has interest
in common with other citizens nnd ta >
payers. When any project Is set on foe
calculated to damage his own interest
and thosn ot the community at large , h
has n right to opposu such schemes b ,
any legitimate means within his powei
As a member of the Board of Trad
Roscwnter had ns much right to urge th
passage of resolutions acuiust the prc
posed rc-locatiou of the fort , as an ,
member of that body had against an
bill which is liable to cripple Onialiii
As the editor of a lending dally it is hi
manifest duty to expose and deiiounc
every project gotten up by speculator
or jobbers to advance their private inlei
ests and enrich themselves at the publi
expense , to the detriment of the city.
It is a piece of impertinence for an out
siiicr to lecture the board of trade aboti
Its course in this matter. The board i
composed of leading merchants , mam
facturors and business men. Anythiii ;
that aflccts the material welfare or th
commercial interests of Omahais a legiti
mate subject for discussion and action \ \
that body. The removal of Tort Omah
from its present site to a point ten mile
southwest will deprive the city of man ,
advantages it now enjoys. The protons
under which the change is sought to b
made is fictitious. It is not domandc
by the necessities of the army , but , 01
the contrary , is calculated to discommod
the army and curtail its comfort am
convenience.
The board of trade did not take actioi
in this matter on snap judgment. Th
meeting was the largest gathering c
business men that has taken place in tin
city since the board was organized. Th
resolutions asking for delay wcro adoptc <
by the board alter full discussion wit
but two or three dissenting votes. 1
this does not represent tlio sentiment o
Omaha on the question wo would like t
know the reason why.
But"we are told that the board "had n
business to meddle with a merely mill
tary question. Senator Manderson ,
government officer , whoso duty it is t
consider government interests , broiigh
this matter to the attention of the wa
department , and undoubtedly secured it
approval , for neither the secretary of wa
nor the commander of this dopartmon
has made any objection , as it would hav
been their duty to do if they felt that th
change was not desirable from a militar.
point of view. "
If the board of trade had no buslncs
to meddle with this "merely military' '
question , why have they time and agaii
been asked to meddle with merely mil !
tary questions involving the quartcrmaa
tor's depot , department headquarters
and transfer of commanders and troops
Suppose there was a move to-day to nbol
ish the Fort altogether , would not tin
board have a right to meddle and rcques
its continuance ?
Senator Manderson is not a government
mont officer in the sense which the torn
implies. Government officers are ap
pointed in tlio civil or military service
1'hov are not responsible for their con
duct to the people. Senator Manderson
on the contrary , is a representative of tin
people , and his actions in every rcspec
should bo in accord with the wishes am
interests of the people , nnd not simpl :
efforts to subserve the interests of a syn
iicato of land speculators. Genera
Sheridan and the secretary of wai
liavo been induced to approve thii
scheme to please Senator Mandcr-
son , Dr. Miller and half a dozen othoi
eminent citizens whoso private interest !
uro to bo promoted nt the public expense
If Senator Manderson had consulted th <
wisdom of the citizens of Omaha in thii
matter ho would not have pushed tin
1)111 through the senate. If ho or an ; ;
friend of this measure doubts that the
esolutlons of the board of trade express
Lho overwhelming sentiment of our com
inunity , lot him call a public meeting ai
ho exposition building and submit the
issue to a popular vote.
IT is said that there is a very earnest
.hough quiet effort making to bring aboul
ogislalion at the present session of con
jress providing for an earlier meeting ol
ho next session , but while it is alinosl
issurcel that the senate would act favora
jy | upon such nmcasuro its probable fate
n the hotiho is uncertain , T hero are sub
itantial reasons in support of such r
iroposltion , but with many the force ol
eng practice is so great that a change
: ould very likely not bo easily effected ,
it was questionable wisdom on the part

JLntrd's Attack Upon Sparks.
New Y < nh Times.
While the house was moving slowlj
peacefully through the dullest part of .th
legislative , executive ami .judicial apprc
priation bill , u few days ago , the ilon
James Laird , of Nebraska , startled several
oral elo/.ing members by an impnssionc
attack upon the commissioner of th
general land oflicc. A paragraph giviii ]
money for the expenses ot the commis
sioner's special agents enraged him us
red rug excites a bull , and In a torrent o
wtlel eloquence ho undertook : to coitvinc
the house that Mr. Sparks was "runninj
a vendetta against the best interests of al
the territory beyond the Missouri river.
Mr. Lnirel assured the house thnt h
spoke as the representative of "brav
and honest men"who had boon "shin
elorously denounced as land thieves. '
The special agents were "a lot of politi
cal papsuckers , who go nrounel under
mining the titles of honest settlers.1
They were "a floating gang of score
spies , who condescend to nbsorb ou
means , drink whisky nt our expense , nne
ride elown and damn our people. " The'
were "a perpetual menace to the devel
opuiont of the country. " The commls
sioner was a public enemy. "Backed am
tlnnkeel by a band of hireling spies , " saie
this elefcnder of the honest pioneer , "In
proposes to show the country what fur
ther he can do in the way ol iinseillliiif
the land titles of half tliisjoontinont , nne
driving the peaceful possessors of the
soil supposed to be the common heritage
of the pcoplo forth from their homes , tc
the enel that he may pose ns a reformer
and drink the paid flattery of his gang o
spotters , spies nnd poisoners of the tun
uros of the settlers of the west. " Hi

There is in Chase county. Neb. , :
stream known as the Stinking Water. I
was in the summer of 1883 that the fim
of Kelley & Laird , stock raisers , deter
mined to get possession of lands on tin
banks of tins stream. For the eionvo
uionco of settlers a land ofllco was opcnoc
at McCook on Juno 15,1883. On that daj
many entries wore mado. These entrioi
afterward became the subject of invest !
Cation. Inspector A. R. Grcono , an elli
cor whoso reports concerning land fraud !
in Now Mexico and elsewhere have at
Iracted much attention , was sent by Com'
missioner McFarland to the Stinking
Water valley. The Omaha Bnn of OctO'
ber 3 , 1881. published Inspector Greene's
report , having procured a copy of it from
the general land olllco in Washington. It
xppcarcd that when the McCook ofHce
was opencel two _ or three scttlur.s were
jn hand with their applications ,
md that they were forced to give
ins to "tho Laird piirty. " which was
naelo up of several men who had boon
jrought elown from Hastings. Tlio com
plainants swore that these so-called en-
irymcn were "nmstoreel into the ollijo
oem in a squad , as soldiers wcro sworn
n during the war. " Their papers were
lellvcroel to the register in nbunuh by an
igunt , nnd the fees were paid in one mini
JV Kelley , of the firm mentioned above.
The inspector said in his report that the
.wo mon who had selected tracts for
lomosteiad entry worn told on thei day be
fore the opening of the office that the
auds had been taken by Kelley & Laird
'for a stock ranch , " and that a company
jf men from the hoiiso of Kelley & Lalr'l
irrivcd in the evening and tooik posses-
lion. The investigation wns made on
JulyS. 1883 , Greene's report contained
ho following statements :
"No pretense of linna lido entry was made
jy the gnng iinpolled from Hustings , but the
rvholo proceeding was ticalod ns a huge joko.
