Omaha celebrates all the year round. COUNT PAUIS will settle in England for the present. Subsequently ho proposes to try to settle with France. SIXTY-SIX hlocks of now pavements should bo accompanied by an equal num ber of blocks of substantial sidewalks. STKADV employment lor workingmcn and mechanics means steady work for merchants and steady growth in all that goes to make up a great city. Encourage manufactures. A st'KCiAr , from Ualtimoro says "Ne braska drummers arc recognized. " Wo should say so. Their acquaintance ) ex tends among business men from the Mis sissippi to tliojcoast , as Kansas City and St. . I'nnl niorclianta will admit ou their oaths. IT is a remarkably frigid day when no new additions arc platted to the city of Omaha.

UANDAXI , has a now tariff scheme in the interests of revenue reform. It proposes to take the internal revenue oft' of such necessities as tobacco and brandy and maintain the tariff taxes on luxuries like food and clothing. As a simon-puro reformer Sam Randall takes the whole bakory. AsinmcAN watches arc now sold whoro- over the English language is spoken. It is said that the system of making watches in this country is stirring up great inter est in England , but in view of the fact that there are now ton successful watch factories in tiio United States and nine more are In process of organization , En glish manufacturers would find it no easy matter to occupy the markets now held by Americans. This , at least , is ono of our industries which scorns to bo self-pro tecting. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ MAYOII IlAitmsoN of Chicago probably made the mistake of his life , and U is thickly honeycombed with blunders , when ho declared war against the news papers. The press boycott of the mayor lias put him in a almost wholly jiolploss position , the very papers through which ho can voleo any complaint or opinion being opposed to him politically. 1 Harrison's public career is nearly at an 1 end , and wo should think that the ueo- plo of Chicago would nearly unani mously welcome Us termination. ANOTiir.ii interesting example. The Ellison Elcotrlo Light company of New York Intended to establish works in Willlamsburg , hut the strike in the build ing trades compelled the postponement of the project , and the company has now decided to establish the works at Scho- nectady. Their construction will require nn expenditure of something like $100,000 , none of whioh the strikers anil many of thorn nro still idle will receive. Thn Now York Times pertinently ob serves : "A few moro cusoa like this may "causa strikers to refuse their unlimited .coulidonco to organizers of labor who got more money when their clients are 011 etrlko thna when they are at work. " $ IT ! s said , on the authority of Mr. Po land , in defense of Senator Kdmuuds' inaction in the campaign of 1681 , that ho was not inlluonced by any objection to IMr. Hlalno as n candidate , but by n scnso of personal injury to himself contained in the charge of William "Walter Phelps , who was understood to bo a sort of con fidential roprcsentativn of Mr , Ulaino , .that Kdnumds had voted on a railroad .Mil in whioh ha had n pecuniary interest. It is Just possible that the Vor- .niotit senator was Mmfitiva ou this po t two years ago , Imthowonis to have gotten bravely over it. IU doo. not now B hesitate to actively opposn H mot proper and necessary monsur.1 prohibiting mom- Irflrf of oonixros * from accepting foes us .attorneys for railroad corporations tlmt bftveirooeivtid grant" from the govern ment , tier to act a * the attorney of snch Tlio I/and Ornnt TAX fill ) . Senator Van Wyck's shrewd move which caused the son.ito to pass what was virtually the house bill to tax the railroad land grants and to force the companies to select nml take out patents on their lands lias already homo fruit , The measure which was referred to a conference committee has hecn reported to mid adopted by the house , and noth ing now remains but the formal assent of the senate to Its own action to com plete congressional work on the measure nnd pass it to President Cleveland for his assent. The railroad strikers who pooh-poohed so loudly nml predicted that the bill would slumber In conference are respectfully invited to direct their optics to thn fact that it is not dead or even sleeping. The earnest four years' work of Nebraska's fearless senator to break down the barriers which monopoly attor- nc3's , posing as popular representatives , had erected in the upper house of con gress to obstruct all remedial legislation against their clients , is bearing fruit , His bold championship of the rights of the people as against ttio arrogant aggres sions of the Ink-shirking and land-grub bing corporations has made a broad and deep mark on the records of the pres ent session of congress. Almost alone ho lias borne aloft the banner of opposition to the railroad lobby and has preached a vigorous crusade against the wrongs of monopoly oppression and the laws behind which the corporations him ) bulwarked themselves. The record of the senator is open to all. It has been made in thfl full sunlight of publicity , and It comprises his chief claim on the sutlragos of his constituents for a reelection tion to the senate. The Obnoxious Senate. Not long ago the Hay Slate club of Bos ton banqueted a number of prominent democrats , among whom was Governor Hill of Now York. The governor had participated in the ceremonies attending the unveiling of the statue of Daniel Webster at Concord , Now Hampshire , where lie had made an address laudatory of the great expounder of the constitution , and thercbv had the more surely com mended himself to the men of .Massachu setts , who without regard to party honor the miiinory of Webster. Ho was the lion of both occasions , and on the wiiolo ac quitted himself with credit. It is wortli while to note the opinions and course of Governor Hill , who is un deniably ono of the very strongest men to-day in his party , and whoso inlluonce is very sure to bo widely extended during the next two years. Simply as a politi cian lie is very much superior to Mr. Cleveland , and being more decidedly a partisan than the president is very sure to grow in the esteem of the great body of the party. It is apparently a safe forecast that ho will bo a "prominent liguro before the next national demo cratic convention , and ho is not the sort of man to permit anylpersonal considera tions to interfere with his chances. He may bo grateful for the moral and mate rial aid extended by the president in the campaign which made him governor , and which was given none too soon , but he will not bo moved by it to make any sac rifices. There is reason to believe tiiac with the masses of the Now York domou- racy ho is stronger to-day than is Mr. Cleveland. Governor Hill is consequently quently a very interesting person. The salient feature of the speech of Mr. Hill ut the liny State club banquet was his deprecation of the confirmatory power of the United States sounto. His declaration of opposition to this power was important us voicing the growing feeling of hostility with the democ racy to the upper branch of congress , which has had a notable development since the democratic administration came into power. Mr. Hill is too careful a politician to make any mistake in a mutter of this kind. Ho has un doubtedly felt the party pulse most care fully and knows its direction. The sen- ute is an obstacle to the unchecked exor cise of executive prerogative in the dis tribution of patrouaao , and Mr. Hill and the democrats who agree with him a very largo majority of the party , it is not doubted would abolish this senatorial power , and leave to the president the untramelod right to appoint all public officers subject to executive selection appointing thorn , as the governor stated it , in recognition of faithful party ser vice , and not upon merely sentimental grounds. In other words , it ought to bo the privilege of n president to foist upon the public service , without any right of inquiry or objection on the part of the representatives of the people , any uumbor of Hlgginsos , Thomases and man of like ilk , who are com mended to him as having rendered faith ful party service , which seemingly is the chief if not the only requirement whioh democrats llko Governor Hill would de mand. With no intention to at present discuss the matter , wo rotor to the views of Gov ernor Hill merely to note the drift of democratic sentiment in a very important direction , The country has soon a long established right of the sonuto to demand certain information relative to removals from and appointments to ollico chal lenged and combiittcd by n domooratin administration , and later the democratic governor of the greatest state in the union , in a spocch to adcinocratia assem blage which ho know would reach demo cratic attention in every section of the country , proclaims opposition to the exercise - ciso of confirmatory power by the senate , nnd counsels the withdrawal of a prerogative - rogativo given that body by the f rumors of the constitution as a safeguard to the public service. Coin ing from n mun of loss consequence in the party than Governor Hill , such a proposition might not challenge atten tion , but as his careful utterance , made with an obdous purpose , It is worthy of something moro than a passing consid eration. Evidently the democracy has not abandoned all ot Ha destructive ten dencies. _ They Do Not Pay. There is another general freight war between Chicago and Missouri river points and the competing roads are ulashiiig tarilTa as If a cut of sixty per cent in rates wan the merest child's plav. Hates on nonuocting systems are becom ing demoralised , aud there arc prospaots of a jjonoral shako down in all western iratllc , The causa of the dispute was a trifling dlfforouco in passenger trafllc to St. Paul souiu weeks ago which oommiin- tented lUelf later to the Omaha passenger business , Thou by a natural * top freight rates booauio involved. In consequence the whole trans-Mississippi country Is now threatened with a prolonged conflict between competing roads , which , before its close , Is likely to Involve this entire west. There is no advantage In the long run to cither shipper or consumer in this sort of business. Public interest demands fair aud stable rates on the railroads , not a varying scale that takes a dollar ono week from the cost of transporting n bar rel of sugar , and adds that amount nnd half us much more In another week to cover the loss. Uailroad wars mean loss to the company and unsettled trade to the merchant , while they make liltlo difference to pur chasers. 'Iho normal rate charged is always used by retailers as a basis from which to figure the transportation cost of the article and the profit to ho dnrivcd from Its salo. The Invariable ofi"oct of the spasmodically low rates of a railroad war is to force merchants to overstock in order to reap the temporary advantage of the reductions. In most oases the supposed advantage Is moro than dis counted by thoinlcrcstcharjrcs on money borrowed to carry the overloaded stock. A Questionable l'ru.cct. | As a means of confuting the assump tion of a lory organ in London that na tive born Americans arc not generally in sympathy with the cause of homo rule , and that tiio agitation in this country is not supported by American public opinion , it has been proposed to hold in New York a mass meeting composed ex clusively of native born Americans to express sympathy with the Irish cause. It is said thatsucli a snouting may bo hold on the -ah of July , and It Is the plan of the projectors to make it us distinguished as possible by securing the attendance of prominent public man out of politics and conspicuous ministers bf the gospel , the latter more particularly to demon strate that the agitation on this side is not chielly countenanced and stimulated by Iho Catholic clergy. Wo are disposed to doubt whether such a meeting is necessary , expedient , or would bo of any real advantage to the cause of home rule. So far as the assumption of the lory organ is concerned , it was doubtless made almost wholly as a picco of buncombe , and there are not half a thousand of the most radical tories iu London who will believe it. The opponents of homo rule in Great Britain know perfectly well that the American people are almost unani mous in supporting the Irish cause , and that in the very nature of tilings they could not entertain any different senti ment. They must know this from the utterances of the American press , with out regard to political distinctions and cer tainly wholly regardless of considerations of Irish patronage , from the declarations of prominent citizens who have nothing to ask or to hope from the Irish vote , from the expressions of societies composed chielly of native born Americans , and from the enunciations of clergymen of every Protestant denomin.ition who are Americans. We do not believe that a mass mooting in Now York which it is suggested might bu followed by others in the larger cities of the country could add anything to the force of the tes timony already at command show ing the sympathy of Americans with the cause of Ireland , and if this is not sullicient to satisfy skeptical English men of the character of popular senti ment on this subject iu the United States mass meetings will not accomplish that perhaps desirable result. The expedi ency of the proposed method is also ques tionable. Have wo , as n people , any duty m the matter which requires that wo should proclaim our opinion in the way proposed ? Would it bo a legitimate anil proper proceeding for the American people ple , as native born Americans , to thus formally and systematically take sides' in a controversy with which this country has no direct interest as a nation , except as it afl'ccts a sentiment or principle in which we believe ? Is it , in a word , well for us to mcddlo , in the manner sug gested , with the political nfltiirs of other peoples ? And if there is neither necessity nor undoubted expediency to justify us , is it not probable that the cause of Ire- laud would bo quite as likely to lose us to gain by the proposed proceeding , which many Englishmen now well disposed toward Ireland might regard as unwar ranted olliciousnoss ? The Freight lliircuu. The Omaha freight bureau can bo , and no doubt will bo , of great assistance to the merchants of this city in ferreting out and bringing to the attention of the railroad managers the continued discrim inations which are boiug made against Omaha by roads operating in. the stato. The bureau and its commissioner possess a great advantage in being backed by an ollldont railway law on the statute books , which will enforce itself if the railroad managers discover that the ma chinery to compel nn enforcement of its provisions is at hiiud. Oma ha has now reached a stage when all sha as'Usou behalf of her merchants is a fair Hold and no favors. She docs not shrink from competition if it can bo mot open and above board , lint her merchants can not alul will not permit themselves to bo handicapped by a continuance of discriminations whoso eflbct is to illegally build up rival interests at her expense. By pooling their interests in the freight bureau and making their Individual com plaints through an authorized spokesman for aid our shippers will bo relieved from fears of corporation displeasure which not many years ago was dangled like thu Dainoclcan sword over the heads of merchants who dared to criticize the lawless methods of Nebraska corpora tions , On the other hand an organiza tion llko the ono now In active operation will do much to expedite the work of the railroads in investigating complaints ; many of which slumber in pigeon-holes , because unintelligible or improperly pre sented for investigation. Ouu special dispatches show that the marvelous growth of South Omaha with its stock yards and its beef and pork packing conccins is causing serious alarm among thosa interested in the same class of business iu Chicago. The pres ence of Mr , Haw ; in Ouialm representing a number of Chicago capitalists who desire - sire to transfer their stock interests to South Omaha seems to have stirred up a genuine hornet's nest on the board of trade. Chicago newspapers have been busy Interviewing fetich loaders of the board us Armour nnd Mo- Neil , with results by no moans reassuring to thn interviewers , These best qualified to know do not hesitate to say that the development of South Omaha means the growth of the largest cattle market nnd the heaviest meatpacking Industry on the continent. It Means "n decreasing business" for the 'Clifcfigo stock yards , said an honest Chicago.- , and his state ment will bo fully endorsed by all un biased observers. South Omaha's future Is already assured. Thrco now and giant packing nnd canning industries will bo in operation before the close of the season. The Hammonds and 1'owlors and Uptons are already hero , and tli < S Armours and I.ibbys cannot afibrd not to follow suit. Omaha is not to bo the second Chicago In the magnitude of her live stock inter ests , but moro than a rival to that great city on the lakes which is now beginning to labor under the disadvantage of too great distance from the ranges and cheap feed. A "Wall from Arizona. The sensible citizen of Ari/ona Is beginning - ginning to make himself heard in lomt complaints of the changed conditions of airairs since Iho valiant bragadoclo Miles precipitated himself upon the territory to wind up Iho Apache war In tnlrty days campaigning. There has been cam paigning enough , in nil conscience. Two regiments of cavalry are worn out and practically dismantled. Hundreds of horses have broken down in fruitless marches up the mountains and down the canyons. Thn neighboring departments have been stripped of troops until nearly it not quite n quarter of the entire army is iinderGeiieral Miles' command , but Goronimo is still at largo doing in finitely moro damage than over before , and carrying lire and the sword from San Carlos to Sonora. The sensible citizen notes with disgust that since General Miles'arrival moro settlers have been massacred , moro soldiers killed , moro ranches raided and moro outrages com mitted by Indians than iu the two years previous under General George Crook , whoso much maligned policy General Miles has sought to overturn , In making good Indians , the main thing is to first ca'.ch your Indian. General Miles has yet to learn the les on that strategy parley and brains are often better in sav age warfare than heavy reinforcements which cannot be used , even when sup plied. Crook and his Indian scouts saved soldiers. lie substituted tiie fruits of long experience for needless muskets , and found diplomacy backed by a small but willing command superior to bluster and rattle-brained , wild gooo chases , where common sense informed him suc cess was impossible. "General Crook will be loudly called for nero again , " says this sensible citizen from Arizona. Brag and bluster go but a small way toward settling the 'perplexing problem of Apachcdoin. LOOK out for the great democratic caravan which is preparing to move on to Washington from Nebraska just as soon as congress adjourns. SENATORS AM ) CONGUKSSMKX. Congressman Harbour , of Virginia , will not be a candidate for re-election , Brooklyn congressmen , nre.anxlous for the session to close to they can adjourn to Sara toga. Senator Hoar's weird description of Sen ator Kvnrts In debate is "a harp swept by the winds ot rhetoric. " Senator Cameron likes Arizona so well that ho is going to return to his ranch in that territory as soon as congress ad journs. Congressman Randall Is said to bo rather apathetic about new measures for tariff re form. It is only as they grow old that they atlr him to life. Senator Spooner says his wife Is his sever est critic. She was opposed to his going to the senate , but now that ho Is there , she is very ambitious for him. Senator Jones of Florida Is still In Detroit and has not been heard from directly for more than a month. The Impression Is growing that ho Is Insane. It Is reasonable to suppose that the end of this session of congress Is slowly but surely approaching , but Senator Uvarts' promised onitlon on the silver question has not yet been delivered. Congressman Dunn of the First Arkansas distiict h.is not hint his constituents Hint ho wants re-cloctlon , but that he Khali continue at his post at the house and trust to their "chlvalrlc souse of justice aud fair play" to keep his fences In order. The recent dcmostratlon of the popularity of Mr. Edmunds In Vermont seems to bo Konerally construed by the mugwumps as a victory for themselves. The why and where fore of this singular Interposition Is not ap parent , but then the Inner consciousness of imiKwumppry always operates in the dark. Of ttio seventy-six senators fourteen chow tobacco , and Ufty-oight use It In ono former another , while of the ! fcJ5 members of the house only a t'ow abstain wholly from tobacco. Over half the southern members both smoke and chow. In the senate those who chow tobacco are Ueck , Call , Edmunds , Fair , floorge , Harris , Hearst , Jones of Florida , Locan , Mcl'herson , Morrlll , Snulsbtiry , Vance , VoorhccsVliItlhoino and Wilson of Maryland. Nearly all of them smoke also. Mr. Wilson uses snuff , as does "tho patriarch , " Brown , of Georgia.

As never before , the workingman has be come a recognized factor in adjustment of and duration and compensation of a day's service. Hov. Mr. Tulmago to the contrary , the laborer will have a voice iu determining the value of his work. Who , indeed , has a bolter right to bo heard on a question that so nearly ullccts his bread and bultor and the means of educating and advancing a dependent family. The merciless theory that limits the rate of wages by their market value ; that gives a man only what the severest com petition compels him to accept , rather than to bo idfo , is > happily to ho exploded. Such a criterion of duos may bo applied to a barrel of llour.btit neither righteously nor safely to the human worker. In the latter case capital has to deal with an in dividual who has a sense of justice , a home to support , and who. unless ho bo slave or serf , cannot long bo treated on the principle of "get him for what yon can , and pay him us little ns possible , " so as thus to widen the margin 6f profit and swell the coders of abundance. Political economy must study the golden rule and lourn of the Carpenter of Naz areth. The result of the Insson well learned will discover that the industry which is an indispensable factor * in the profits of capital , is entitled to moro than u bare living ; nay. is entitled to bo u sharer in the prosperity which it pro motes. Grant that such a principle would cut down the revenues of the few , that were u result not to bo regretted if it increase tliu comforts and foster the happy and frugal independence of the many. Moreover , this just and kindly copart nership between the two mutually re lated factors of labor and capital will convert the the worker from a quasi serf , doomed to the treadmill of his unvarying wage per diem ( a rate often allowing no Ice for a winter's storm , or tjio infirmities of age , or the settlement of ahildrcn , ) into an interested teller , with thu hope of advance un intelligent factor , pledged by his own interest , as well as by n re ciprocal tie , to promote the success of business in which ho is a partner , AIIICH' Mary Krob.i and her husband Krnst yes terday transferred ! o Fred Amos of Bo'ston Jot 0 and the wcst-11 foot of lot 7 block 177 in this city.
