Mu. Tir.nnu's mantle Jiasn't fallen on
nny prominent Now York politician
hard enough to leave a visible ) dent
Ji'nr.n POST is lying very low but no
physician is attending him , The judge
5s simply waiting , like Mieawbcr , "for
something to turn up , " politically speak
ing.
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. Perhaps. Still there are mil
lions of pcoplo ia Hie world , Jew and
Gentile , who deny that next Sunday will
bo anything more than next Sunday.
MK. 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

considerable room for congratulation iu
this fact.

FOURTEEN SKELETONS.
Found Nine Mllon South ol'Xclirasku
Oily.
Nebraska City Press : Henbcn Church ,
ono of Otoo's substantial fanners living
about nine miles south of the city near
the N'cmaha line , made a ghastly lind a
few ilavs since , while excavating for a
cellar , it consisted of fourteen skele
tons. of men , wonum nnd children , all
within a space of twenty square fcut , all
about six feet from the surface and all
with their heads to the west. 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.

no appetite for the meat. What is to bo-
conic of that ? It will be a sad waste. "
An English miser used to go about
dressed so shabbily as to nnnov his ac
quaintances. At la t ho was persuaded
to buy an old hat , "bolter as now" from
a .Tow. llo paid a shilling for it anil the
next day sold It for eighteen pence.
Tills same miser never took n tiff to
titillate his nostrils , but ho did take a
pintsli out of nvcry snuff-box prolfered
him which ho carefully placed in his
own bov When it was tilled ho bartered
its contents for a farthing rush-light.
Lord Chancellor llardwick was nick
named "Judge Grinus , " on account of
his avarice , though ho was a learned
lawyer and an excellent judge. When
visited on his estate by country gentle-
nion who came to pay their respects to
Iho lord high chancellor , he compelled
thorn to send their horses to an inn , half
a milo ( listant.that ho might bo saved the
expense of baiting them. Yet ho was
Ihnn worth $1,000,000 , butdreadeil to part
with a shilling.

bec-imc blind at seventy by the forma
tion of a cataract over his eyes , lie made
a bargain with a London oculist to couch
both eyes , agreeing to pay six- guineas if
his Bight was restored in llie least.
The operation was so successful that
the patient could read without glasses.
But no sooner could he sec than ho began
to irriovo nt the thought of uaylng the
promised foo. llo pretended that ho
could see nothing distinctly , and Hiilj-
milled to woarihjj the bandago.s for a
month longer tlmn Iho u.sual lime.
When llie montli expired ho still in
sisted that he had only a glimmering of
light , : .nd the occulist compromised by
accepting twenty guinea instead of sixty.
Yet at that time ilio baronet had ? ao,000 ,
in his house.
A miser , whoso parsimony and business
abilities hud amassed for him enormous
wealth , was requested to lend lo his gov
ernment n sum of money. He refused ,
as the interest offered was not as high
M he had demanded , giving as a reason
that lie had mot with sovcro losses which
had reduced him to poverty.
Fearing that bin exouso might bo dis
covered to be n falsehood , ho < lug u cave
in his cellar , and In It hid his money. A
trap-door , with a spring lock nnd a ladder -
dor , gave him access to his gold , which
ho daily visited.
