Our v 22,747 postmasters Itavn been ap pointed by the present administration. Moro than half the postofllccs still re main in the hands of republican ap pointees. This accounts in part for Mr. Vilas' rosy-colored report of the opera tions of his department during the past yoar. Iris said that a Michigan man lias in vented an instrument whieh makes the transfusion of blood a very sllnplo opera tion. If the machine will work when ap plied to politics the democracy has found its bonanza at last. An infusion of now blood is the only thing to save the pa tient. IT is charged in some of the eastern papers that the project of a permanent exposition in Washington city , for which congress has been asked to make a liberal appropriation , was conceived by a .syndi cate of thrifty persons at the capital who hope to further enrich themselves by it. It Is not improbable that there is milll- oiunt ground for this view , especially if it bo line that some of thu parties con nected with the New Orleans exposition nrc in the scheme , to justify congress in ttoiiiR very slow in the matter of giving its support to the project. Mu. ( looni : doesn't take his rejection by the senate with entire amlabilliy , and has made thn mistake of writing a letter attacking Senator Hoar and foolishly urmlfullns that his rejection will load to serious danger to the government. A man with such a record as that of Goodc ought lo avoid as much ns possible at tracting public attention , for it is certain that the more it is examined the uglier nnd more repulsive it must look. Jiint iiow the rejected candidate for solicitor general 1 ai nu oxtromuly small con stituency of sympnthi/.ors , and the num ber is steadily diminishing. SKNATOII VAN WVOK submitted r , spioy majority report upon the Backbone land grant bill. Ho informed the senate that the grant was the most improvident nnd reckless piece of land grant logisla tlon known in the last twenty-live years , n open and brazen fraud , "offering the most defiant hostility to honest methods , nnd with no pretense or effort to do any thing but swindle the United States. ' The company did nothing beyond issuing bonds , trylngato cheat the man who printed them nnd transferring to un < other company land lo which it had nc title. The bill , which Is called a bill to declare u forfeiture of certain lands , is really , Senator Van Wyck said , a bill to con'inn patent : ! already issued for the lands and to give to the New Or leans 1'nalllo company 800,000 acres wore , ( icnoral Van Wyck is a danger OUB "crank" who ought to bo surpresbeil for the peace of the railroad senate. TIIK first annual report of the Ohio State Forestry bureau , just issued , pro Bent some interesting facts illustrating the wisdom of that state in taking moas arcs to protect nnd restore its forests , The bureau is not fin expensive nliaii when the value of its work is considered Having post for the year only $800 , It ap pears tbat in 1833 the forest area of the state was about fourteen million acres , ol which less than one-third remained It : J831. The cutting of forost.s for a num ber of years has averaged 100,000 , acres r year , at which v.ito a fo\v year ? would be Sililidciit/or the complete destruction ol the rcniMnlnp-fot'eslS vJ the stato. The damaging consequences result ! ! ! * * from the rapid forest destruction , in the do turloration of the toll and the ctl'nct upon ollmate and rainfall , are EO convincingly Bliown ns to constitute a serious warning which states not so badly alllctcd as Ohlc la In Ihls ri'spoct iuny wisely hoed. The work of the bureau thus far appears to Imvo been effective and useful , nnd thort U n ( Mcrmhiution manifested to continue ' \ttilli lucroosed vigor. Arc Tlic3-t > Mt or Politics ? l it about time for the various mil- operating in Nebraska to make their biennial announcement that thoj propose to lake no furllicr hand in state polilics' The campaign is at hand , the liosl ? arc beginning to marshal for the frav and Tray , Blanche and Sweetheart , of the railroad press , arc already begin ning to sound bugle notes which if not checked arc very likely to alarm those who are opposed to railroad domination , A declaration of the kind wo mention would doubtless como like n sweet bent-diction upon the canvass ami tend to dispel the clouds which arc lowering dark and heavy over the rail road camps. Some time ago General Attorney Vop- uleton in his speech before the Iowa rail road commission dropped some broad hints that the Union I'acllic was practi cally out of practical politics. In icfcr- ring to Mr. Adams' management of that corporation ho said : "Under his administration closcv methods of accounting have been estab lished ; business foreign to Ilio purposes of railways , lutlicrlo prosecuted in many directions and for many purposes , has boon discontinued , supernumerary and ornamental confidential employes , " clothed apparently with abundant conlt- dent'u and no visible duties apart from the pay-roll , have boon dropped. * * * The company leaves the government of the country to the { rcner.il public1 and ad- drt'iSOd itself exclusively to railway busi ness. " If this bo so the pcoplowlll have ro.von to eougratulrtto thoiiibelvps. Hut how is it with the Burlington and thcNorthwcst- crn systems ? Are they , too , out of poli tics ? Has "business foreign to the pur poses of railways , hitherto prosecuted in many directions anil for many purposes , " been discontinued ? Have political at torneys , borne on the pay rolls for their valuable services in manipulating pri maries and conventions , been "dropped from the rolls. " Are the gang "of super numerary and ornamental employes , " with no "visible duties , " still signing sal ary vouchers ? These are important , and pcitincnt questions which the voters of Nebraska would like answered. Are tin : railroad- out of politics or do they propose , as they have always done , to endeavor to defeat the will of the voters of this state by con trolling the political machinery of both parties and forcing it lo register their decrees. The Adjournment ol'CoiifreHS. The first session of the Forty-ninth Con gress , which closed yesterday , lasted a little over eight months. Of nearly thirteen thousand bills and joint resolu tion" introduced into both houses loss than seven hundred ha70 boconio laws. Of this number il is worthy of the re mark that scarcely a score can be consid ered to aflcctgenoral interests , llie most important of these arc : The act provid ing for the performance of the duties ot the president in case of removal , death , resignation or inability of both the presi dent and vice president ; the act legalis ing the incorporation of national trades unions ; the act reducing the fee on do mestic orders for sums not exceeding $5 ; the Pingloy shipping bill , the act authorizing the construction of a con gressional library , and the oleomargarine bill. Many of the most important measure.- " failed of action in the session. Among the bills on which the public demanded prompt action nnd which failed in securing enactment wcro the following : The bankruptcy bill , the Blair educa tional bill , the inter-staleconunerco bill , the several land forfeiture bills , the tariff bill , the arbitration bill , the eight-hour bill , the Ends ship railway bill , the Ta- uilio railroad funding bill , the bill in creasing the annual appropriation for the militia , the Mexican pension bill , the electoral count bill , several general pen sion bills , the bill for the admission of Dakota to statehood , the bill providing for opening to settlement the Sioux In dian reservation , the bill providing for the oquaiiinllon of bounties , the hill granting pensions to prisoners of war , also counting the electoral voles , Mexican pensions , repeal of Iho pre-emption law and the Cblniiso immigration bill. Four thousand bills introduced during the session wore referred to the commit tee on invalid pensions. Favorable rcc- ommondalions wore mndo upon 1,000 and adverse reports upon 550 of the o bills. This committee also received 1,700 petitions. In the forty-eighth congress ( both sessions ) Iho committee on invalid pensions received 3,830 , bills , and reported favorably upon 585 , adversely on132 , nnd 534 were enacted into laws. The next session , beginning on Decem ber 0 , will last only nine wcckn if tbo customary number of days tire given to holidays. If the work of this session is to bo taken ng a criterion very lltllo more than another sot of appropriation bills can be aullcipatcd during the next session. _ _ The Iron Room. Whatever other Industries arc de pressed the iron and steel trade shows a wonderful increase in pi eduction. The semi-annual slatcmcnt of the Iron asso ciation reports that in the first six months of 18SO the United States produced more pig iron than in nny other year in the history of Iho country , The increase over the corresponding period of 18813 was more tlmn 800,000 tons , or about 37.-1 per cent , while it was 575,000 , tons , or nearly 35 per cunt , as compared with the last half of 1685. The greatest absolute gain was naturally made by Pennsyl vania ! ! , but Ohio and Alabama show the best percentage of incrcasa , Ohio next to 1'iiiin.sylvunin in total production , Alabama niulTonnossooshowllargogalns , but Virginia , Kentucky , Missouri ami Georgia have lost ground. The stock ol unsold pig-iron ivns 470,000 tons , JunoSO , against 03 ,000 u year ago , The produc tion of Hcssomcr steel rails rose from 453,000 in the first half of 1835 and 0-J3.000 in the last half to 707,000 in the ( iret half of 18SO ; of steel ingots irom 703.0CO to 038,000 and 1,078,000 for the samopoiiods. The toial production of iron and steel for the year will surpass all previous records. Without doubt Iho iron and stool pro ; ; { tnn ! for the year will bo the fjMatwl ever known in fills country. U will cvi' dcutly exceed 5,000,000 tons , whcronH ( bo largest years ever known before were 1833 nn-1 1888 , when the production reached 5,178,000 and 5,140,000 tons re spectively. Then it ran down to 4,02iOOU ) In 1835. Anincroisoof one-third ia one year would bo very largo indeed , ot- though L.T no uirans unprecedented. In 1803 there waa n leap from 051,000 ton : td 1,350,000 , or 43 per cent , and the in crease continued at a slower rate foi three succeeding years. In 1871 there was a leap from 1,011,000 tons to 3,850 , 000 , or very nearly BO per cent , nnd the growth held on till 1871. In 1870 there was a leap from 0,070,000 to 4,200,000 , or 45 per cent , nnd the growth held on till 1883. ' 1 heso figures would eem to Indicate nn increase this year of from 35 to10 pel cent , and afterwards a much slower growth for two or three years , iltcn a retrogression of 10 per cent for a year ov two followed by another heavy advance , The iron and slcel boom comes and gocf in periods from six to ciclil years apart. An Irish Hero , Bravn and manly Michael Davilt is soon to revisit America and meet the hosts of friends which his heroism and patriotism in the eaii'e. of Ireland have made him in this country Before the end of the present month , hu will be on bis way lo Omaha , where , as we under stand , hu will be thu guest of Thomas Brcnnan. Omaha will extend a cordial greeting to this sincere and long snlVcrinc friend of Irish liberty Of nil living Irishmen ho has sun'crcU most for the cause of his country's freedom. Two parliaments Imvo not passed since the poor one-armed invalid was seized on a lickot of leave and thrown as a common convict lulo Portland prison while the attempt to throttle homo rule aspirations filled Kil- mainhalm jail un J spread terror over Ire land. Michael Dnvitt has exorcised an influence ovur his countrymen only second end to Parnell. His fervid appeals , the story of his wrongs , Ilio recital of Ire land 'a ' misery and his strong picas for Irish unity nnd for Irish nationality have ably seconded Iho great Irish leader in his work for reform through peaceful legislation. If the two men have differed sometimes in method they have always boon one in aim. They have steered for Iho same port , though at times trom different directions. To both Ireland and Irish- Americans owe a debt of gratitude tor their .succesi In making the dream of their lives the vital political topic of the day in Great Britain. Before many more months have rolled around that debt if wo mi'tako not will be increased so ma terially that every Irishman will bo ready to acknowledge it in the clearest and most unreserved terms. THE British yaoht Galatea , which is to /sail against an American yacht yet to be selected for the America's cup , arrived at Marblohcad last Sunday and met an en thusiastic popular reception. The voy age of the visiting5'acht consumed thirty- two days , nnd some concern had begun to bo felt for her safety , but her ollicors reported that she had a fair trip , without accident or serious detention. A season of banqueting and general enjoyment nwaits her owner and o flic era pending the race which shall determine whether Kngland is to recover the coveted trophy or it is to remain in American possession. There seems to bo a general conviction that cither of the. three yachts from which a choice will bo made for the race with the Galatea is licet enough to beat the Britisher under almost any conditions , the fact being that the record of the English yacht is not so good as was that of the Gcncsla. Until tins contest is de termined in September yachting nnd sporting circles in the cast will have this as a leading topic of interest , and our eastern contemporaries will devote gen erous space to the presentation of facts and opinions in relation to it. The patriotic west is prepared to "hoop la" at the top of its lungs for the American Du. MniKn now rushes to the broach and tries to straighten the periphery of his wobbling paper on the tnrilf question by referring to " Iho nn broken record of twenty-one years. " Wo fail to note nny suggestion about that "total abolition of internal revenue taxes , " which so star tled Iho doctor some weeks ago in his Wall street privacy. That was a kink in the record which even the strong arm of Dr. Miller refused to attempr to yank straight. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ACCOIIDIMO lo the Jfentld , the Bnc's hint that the Hcnntorial issue is likely lo crop out in thn primaries and conven tions of the state ticket canva s i like saying that next Sunday will bo the Sab bath tlay.

KANDAU. failed to secure consid eration for his taritf bill. If Mr. Ran dall will call on Dr. Miller in New York ho will bo given a chance to expand his mental horizon. What the Dr. doesn't know about the tariff would fill the vol umes of the congressional library. CHOP reports which we publish show that Nebraska will stiller from no failure of her staple products this year. A three- fifths crop of small grain and a fair average - ago yield of corn and hay reads very dif ferently from the croaking predictions a few weeks ago. T.HH attempt to gobble up tbe Yellow stone Park for private railway specula tion has failed to materialize. The Canks Forks railroad will remain for some time to como on paper. There is considerable room for congratulation iu this fact.

It was thought at first that a substantial clue had been obtained to some terrible mystery , but reflection showed that the burials could not have been recent , as the place had been occupied and o'llti vated bv Mr. Church for manv years and as the condition of I ho bones showed long exposure to the action of the earth. They were soft and crumbled quickly when the air reached them. In each skull was found three small stones used , perhaps , to close the mouths and oyon of tno dead. The phiv o was undoubtedly an Indian cemetery , before this section was settled ; .so long ago that nothing but the bare bones -ire left to tell the story.
