TIIIIKU will bo n great rush to the land ofllcos , pending the repeal of tlio pre emption iind timber culture laws. TWELVE thousand bills have been intro duced in congress this session. This al most equals tlio record of the Jersey mosquito tints. towns are springing up in Ne braska like mushrooms after a heavy dew. But right there the comparison ends. TJioro is no mushroom growth in the splendid advance of our little villages into sturdy towns and lively cities. They coiuo fast , but they come to stay. CONNECTICUT is greatly excited over the prospects of the sponge raising in dustry. If it fails let the Nutmeg state apply to Omaha. She has several hun dred tax shirking "sponges" on honest tax payers which she will gladly spare for the benefit of her eastern sister. AN esteemed contemporary which has been receiving Ta.mage's sermons "by telegraph" at ? 3 a week , forty-eight hours before they were delivered , has found its mail enterprise ) objectionable to that di- vii\o nuil will in fiittiro publish them on Tuesdays.

THE proprietors of the Millanl hotel have taken up a passably good concrete sidewalk on Douglas street and are re placing it with a splendid slagolithio walk. The proprietors of the Poxton house still consider cloven feet of rotten planks and four feet of mud bank good enough for them. The people do like on- tei prise , and appreciate the oilbrts of the Mlllard hotel proprietors in that direction. JIM LAIIJD'S organ is very jubilant over the purchase by a railroguo republican lawyer of a Sntton paper which has for years supported Van Wyck. This Hop is not likely toloso Van AVyck many friends. Buying out papers and turning them over to the support of monopoly has been a favorite pastime of the Nebraska railroad bosses for years , but it generally proved n profitless venture. You can convert a chonp lawyer for a retainer of $25 or sfflO. but lie can't convert whole communities l y paid talk. JUST after the war was over General Grant was asked what his highest am bition was politically.

WF.B perfecting presses , capable of turning out 500 pupors per minute , are nil thp rage just now 3a Nebraska. In our own city several impors that could conveniently bo printed on a thousand-dol lar country drum cylinder , are talking wildly about twenty-thousand dollar ma chines to accommodate their enormous circulation. Ono of them has even gene to far to surra notice that no more sub- Bcriptlous will bo taken until Us light ning prcsf/oslmvo / boon put in position.

Not because the course of politics In Maine exerts a very widespread influence , nor because that state Is n vcrTimportant factor in determining national results , do the occurrence and the promise of politi cal events there possess such significance as to challenge general public interest , but chlolly because It is the personal bat tles ground of Mr. Dlaine , and therefore periodically a ijuielo to the political activ ity of that gentleman , and in results a measure , In a decree , of his Influence. Air. Blaine is as usual credited with hav ing a great deal to do with the action of the recent republican convention nnd liunco the progress of Maine politico is being regarded with quito the usual amount of interest. Predictions from certain quarters of dissensions and of combinations against the republican can didates are suillclontly numerous , but not in all cases unquestionably trust worthy.'u rend that the republican candidate for governor , Mr. Bodwcll , is in danger of encountering a formidable opposition from the Knights of Labor , notwithstanding the fact that hois a self- made man who has always shown a friendly disposition toward labor. It is also said that a considerable part of the soldier vote will be ngalnst him , al though the soldiers have found in him a consistent and faithful friend. The pro hibition forces , it is further assumed , will draw liberally from the republlciin ranks , being exceptionally well organized for aggressive work. It would doubtless bo qnito as well for the republican party of Maine If the shadow of Mr. Ulaino's in fluence in directing its action wcro less prominent , or did not appear at nil , but from this far away point of view thcro is nothing apparent in tlio recent action of the party that ought to condemn it to de feat. The character of. its ticket is cer tainly as good as that of the democrats , nnd it is not clear how the labor or tlio soldier elements , said to bo disaffected , arc to gain anything by giving their sup port to the democracy. Certainly , as to the soldiers , the late course of the demo crats iu congress cannot bo regarded as reassuring. Money and Homo Iltilc. Money will How like water in the cam paign which has just opened in Kngland. The purses of the wealthy lory lords and squires have been thrown wide open to carry the election for Salisbury and coercion. Titled nobodies , whoso only claim on their party is their enormous wealth , nro being placed in nomination by the enemies of home rule , while in some of the districts it is said to bo dilli- cult to get Gladstonian candidates bo- c.iuso of the moncy.power in tlio opposite camp. The trouble with the homo rulers is said to bo lack of money. How much is thought to bo needed to carry on the campaign may bo judged from the fact that a half a million dollars lars , subscribed by four liberals last week for the use of Mr. Gladstone's candidates , is spoken of as a small sum compared with the fund which the lories have gath ered as sinews of war. British members of parliament receive no pay for their services This fact ex cludes all but men of means from standing - ing as candidates. All the elec tion expenses , under the Eng lish laws , must bo borne by the contestants , including the cost of registration , pay of election clerks , printing of tickets and canvassing of tlio votes. It is a cheap election in England where the successful member of parlia ment gains his scat at a less cost than $0,000 , oven where the contest is a tame one. In several cases last fall the expenses - penses ran up to $25,000 each. The issue as made is money against merit , and the honest voters of Great Britain now largely leavened with dcm- ocracy nro not likely to hesitate in the choico. The great forces of society may toll against homo rule at the elections , but nn Indignant public opinion rising from the humble classes of English workingmen and me chanics who owe their political enfran chisement to William E. Gladstone can turn the scale by an avalanche of votes which will more than outweigh the tory money bags nnd the millionaire and titled nobodies which they represent. The Imto David Davis. The political prominence attained and briefly onjoycd by the late David Davis , whoso death after u lingering illness oc curred Saturday morning , was duo largely to a comlmmtion of fortuitous circum stances with Iho creation of which ho had nothing to do , nnd which ho lacked the political faculty to take the fullest nil- vantugo of. Though unquestionably pos- scsscd of the highest ambition that can animate the American citizen , he was conspicuously deficient iu those com manding qualities of leadership which attract a great following and hold men in hearty and ( inn allegiance. Without casting a doubt upon the general honesty of his motives and his acts , his course was nevertheless , so fur as its political relations were concerned , of so tortuous a character , and his tendencies were so uncertain , that no parly could have with safety committed Its policy and Interests to his direction. l 'ow men in so brief a public career wcro found so often sup porting illfl'orent sides of questions of po litical controversy , and while Ihis ap parent independence gave him a claim to public attention nnd won for him alternately the commendation of one or the other of the parties , It did not give him tlio absolute confidence of miy , and therefore wholly disqualified him for the functions of a loader. In consequence of thcso political pecu liarities Mr , Davis became merely an in strument which tlio parties sought to play upon as their necessities seemed to re quire , Indued , ho entered national poli tics in this character. It is only neces sary to recur to the facts connected with the organization of the electoral com mission to recall to memory the profound Interest and anxiety with which both par ties regarded the possibility of Judge Davis , then an associate justice of tlio supreme court , being a member of tite commission , and from the point of view Iho democrats it 'was an act of mas terly shrewdness on the part of the re publicans in transferring him at the vital moment to the sanato. In the light of hU subsequent course it is quito impossi ble to determine what would have been of the action of Judge Davis as a member the electoral commission , but is n matter .of history that retirement from the supreme bench that time was looked upon by leading democrats generally as fatal to their case , It would .bo au injustice to IMS it memory to assume that had ho.boon a member of that historic body lus action , would have been controlled by any other than the slnccrcst convictions and the purest motive * , and the belief in either party which implied anything different was without warrant or justification. Judge Davis was unquestionably fond of popular commendation nnd public notoriety , and was at all times ready to accept honors from almost any source. His presidential aspirations wcro uncon cealed , and it is not doubtful that their recognition under any circumstances nnd by any combination of men calling themselves a party was pleasing to him. This fact caused distrust , perhaps un justly , though quite naturally , of the sin cerity of his independent course re specting political issues , and gradu ally but surely weakened his influence In public affairs. There is perhaps no better example in our history than that presented by the career of Judge Davis of the impossibility of a man becoming a great leader in American politics who refuses allegiance to any party and dis tributes his favor to all. It may bo said , we think with entire justice , that history will have little to preserve In honor of Judge Davis beyond Ills judicial career , In which lie fully jus tified tlio wisdom of Lincoln In appoint ing him to the supreme bench. An Early Convention. The republican state central commit tee is about to convene in this city to map out Iho campaign' for 13SU. it is manifestly its duty to place thu party in position for a bold , aggressive and decis ive campaign. Thcro is no good reason why the party In Nebraska , with its 25,000 majority , should not as.sumo the ollensivo as early as thu party does in Iowa , Kansas and other western repub lican states. With her 800,000 popu lation increased enormously every year by the swelling lido of immigration a thorough canvass should begin at least ninety days before the election. In other words an early convention is necessary to give ample time for a state canvass. In former years the committee has al lowed only from four to six weeks be tween nominations and the election. Such a policy has often embarrassed the party and frequently jeopardized the success of tlio ticket. It is almost a fore gone conclusion that Ilia ticket will bo made up this year of men who can stand the brunt of any polit ical assault. Only such men are fit to bo the candidates of the party in the impending campaign. Republicans from every section of the state demand nn early convention and : i thorough campaign. They want the candidates to canvass the state and give the people a chance to become acquainted with and to canvass them. The commit tee will do well to respect this sentiment , and respect our suggestion. Let us have an early convention ; at any rate no later than the middle of August. IT is a little surprising that anyone lire- tending to a moderate amount of intelli gent discrimination should class Secre tary ' ! Whitney as a politician , applying that term in its best sense. Two years ngo , Mr. Whitney was wholly unknown to the country , and his local reputation was only that of a second-rate lawyer. He had never been admitted to the inside circles of the Now York democracy , and until the last presidential election was not nn active force nor an estimated fac tor in the party. But having money and being the son-in-law of Henry : B. r Payne , he possessed a value which New , York democratic managers wcro shrewd enough two years ago to utilize , yet it is not recorded that his usefulness wont farther than his liberal contribu tions ! of money to the campaign. It is not questionable that his appointment to a qc cabinet position was duo almost whollv tiC the Payne influence , his brother-in-law , Colonel Oliver II. Payne , having very shortly after the presidential election re signed : his lucrative position as Ircusurer of the Standard oil company and removed on moved to Now York for the well-under stood purpose of securing au appoint ment for Whitney either in tlio cabinet or 11r 11a a foreign court. His selection as sec retary of the navy was n surprise to tiie country . , and tlio doubt then generally felt as to the wisdom of the president's choice has not been greatly iliminishod by the course ) of Mr , Whitney as the head l ! of the navy department. Person ally the secretary is a very respectable citizen , but his record is yet to bo made as a man of political ncumon nnd fore sight , while his aristocratic habits and tendencies do not mcrcasu las value as an active politician. In this respect his brother-in-law is much the abler man , and it Whitney over hereafter figures as a politician , depend upon it that the wires will bo laid and their manipulation dircctesd by Colonel Payne , who has fully Identified himself with the democracy of Now York. SKNATOH MOUHILL , of Vermont , is a faithful and conscientious public servant. Until his recent illness ho had not in his more than thirty years' ' service in con gress been absent from his post of duty for moro than two days , nnd it was a source of excessive annoyance to liim when his sickness compelled him to add a third day to his record of absences. Indeed ho Is said to care less about the pains and privations incident to his sick ness than for the necessity it imposes upon him of keeping away from his senatorial duties. Such examples of solicitude and fidelity on ( lie part of pub lic servants , and particularly of mem bers of congress , are so exceptional as to bo noteworthy , but it may bo observed that Mr. Merrill is one of the few remain ing products of the "old school" by which those qualities wcro taught and properly honored. TIIIJ commissioners are still holding back for a plan to construct a retaining wall around the court house. Meantime , the unsightly mud-banks are permittee ! to stand What is to hinder the leveling c down of thcso mountains of dirt and improving the surroundings of the court house 1 OMAHA will never bo a great grain market until tiio elevator monopoly is a broken up and ilouring mills are built to purchase and consume at least a portion our homo products.

Our Western Dona Ynrels. Tlio passage throughtOinalia westward bound of a party oi scientists from Princeton college eJn route to the fossil fields of Wyoming and Utah calls atten tion to the fact that Nebraska , Wyoming , Kansas and Dakota have proved an in exhaustible treasure ] box of information to the scientific world. Within the past fifteen years moro remains of fossil ani mals , birds and reptiles have been dis covered and classllicel In the section named than in the entire glebe bo- sides. The geological reports of the government are fillcdVith the recorded work of American scientific men who have worked In the great western bone yards. European authorities have given them credit for adding more facts to the knowledge of the extinct fauna of pre historic days than all their predecessors from C'uvier down to Owen. The western bonoyards or fovil fields contain the remains of thousands ot species of fossils , most of which are found in petrified forms In the clays and shales of what wcro once great lakes or marshes. Side by side , with them are discovered immense palms and ferns , showing that the counj try was once under a tropical cliniato. Glnnt tapirs , rhinoceroses , elephants , and curious genera of animals whose outlines and characteristics were unlike- any now discovered , roamed over what is i.ow Ne braska ami Wyoming , sank in the marshes and wcro covered up by the sandy oo/.o. Thousands of years ago the upheaval of the centre of the American continent drained the lakes and sloughs and loft their beds exposed to wind and storm. The result Is what are called the ! 'bad lands " In , whoso buttes and canyons yens lie the fossil remains of hundreds of centuries ago. The "bono bods" of Nebraska are found in the extreme northwestern cor ner of the state in the "bad lands" of the While river. Hero in 1877 , Professor Marsh , of Yale , uncovered a wealth of fossil remains which made him famous. Scott , of Princeton , and other explorers following in his tracks have made Ne braska's contributions to science famous throughout the world. A Hlo\v at the Jobbers. President Cleveland has made many mistakes as a chief executive , but he made no mistake when ho notified con gress that ho should decline in future to sign any bill without informing himself thoroughly of its contents. He has also given his word that congress need not expect him to go to the capital in tlio closing days of the session and approve bills to expedite adjo.urnment. This stand of the president will meet with the approval of honest men every where. It is a linn , mimly and square- toed position in the interest of the public anel against that o'f the jobbers and lobbyists. It may dehiyadjounimcnt but it will iudelinitcly .postpone . a score of fragrant items tacked on appropriation bills iu order to be rushed through at the last minute amid the din and confusion of the closing hours of the session. In taking this attitude Mr. Cleveland is not following the fashionbuthc / is setting a valuable preecilon't for his successors. He is doing more. His jiiotico will have a prompt effect in p'utting ' a stop to ma turing schemes to saddle questionable riders on the general appropriation bills. The assurance that bills must bo passed in time to be sent to the White House , examined , item by item by the president , and returned approved to coni cross , will force a careful pruning of these measures in committee of confer ence before their passage. The president at one blow has demolished the last stronghold of the lobby. Let us give him credit for it. THE eight-hour movement proved a most damaging experiment to the build ing industry of Chicago , where it found a more general and active support from workingmen than was given it in any other city of the country. Two months ago a great deal of building that was pro jected had to bo abandoned in consequence quence of the demands of labor , which placed the cost largely above the figures that the projectors were willing to pay. The effect was to seriously cripple tlio building industry and leave thousands of laborers and workmen in idleness. Now a re-action is taking place. The Tribune of recent date states that "within the last few days some of the bidders have re duced their estimates of cost by as much as 1C to 20 per cent , and offered to do the work for that much less than the original bids put in by them. They can do the work required for ono-cighlli lo one-sixth less than was thought possible before the eight-hour demonstration of six weeks ago. " This simply means that men who two months ago demanded reduced hours of labor without a corresponding reduction in wages , arc now willing to accept the minimum price for their la bor , and this lee after weeks of idleness during which many of thorn have piled up a burden of debt for Iho necessaries of life lhat will bear heavily upon them for many months to conic. Wo some time since noted the fact that the money lenders of Chicago were feeding fat upon the necessities of the workingmcn of lhat cily who had been forced by Iho labor difiicullics lo mortgage' lliclr chattels in order to keep the wolf from Iho door , and it now seems not improbable that the pressing wants of thpso men may lead to a conflict of lapor against capital tence , with the almost iininodiato consequence quence of culling Iho Svaces of labor In many Irndcs below afal ( | living sland- ard. In any event there are thousands of the workingmcn of Chicago who in all respects are worse off Umn they were two months ago , and there has bean no ' compensating gain to the 'general ' cause of labor , , ' THE highest paid plllcej of Iho city is t the chairman of tha , board of public ; works.
