The Defense of'the Urtllromla. .In May last the secretary of tlie interior nfulo.n' rule requiring tuo land grant rail roads to'show cause , on or before Juno 23 ; why the ort'ers withdrawing lands rom sottlumont within tholr Indomnitj "units' should not bo revoked and the ands restored to settlement , lie pile ; lave been received from all the roads and the substance of those of two ol hem , the St. Paul & Sioux City and tin Northern Paclllc , were given in oui iVashington dispatch of yesterday morn' ing.Tho The former of these roads takes tin somewhat defiant view that the secretary of the Interior is venturing beyond hi jurisdiction in assuming the right to re voke orders withdrawing lands , on tin ground that suoh withdrawals having been made by direction of congress cat only DO revoked by 'that authority. The claim is sot up that the proceeding wa wholly legislative , the power of th secretary of the interior being oxhortee when ho issued the order of withdrawn required by the law , and that it belong ! to congress alone to sot aside this action The Northern Pacific simply pleads that it has gone as far as it can go in securing indemnity lands for the reason that the government lias failed to survey the remaining maining lands withdrawn for indemnity from which selection has not bcon made nnd that neither party can dctcrmlni under existing conditions to what oxtun the road is entitled to land within iiulom nlty limit. It was not understood when the score tary of the interior made the rule in th'i matter that ho intended to at once revoki the order under which indemnity land : were withdrawn , even where it wa clearly shown that they should bo re vokedby reason of the indemnity rights o the railroads having been forfeited. Thi president in his letter to the socrotar ; upon which the action of the latter was taken intimated a doubt as to the oxten of executive authority in the matter o restoring the withdrawn lands to settle ment. All that was immediately arrivet at was to ascertain from the corpora tions what defense they had to oiler foi their continued neglect of the condi tions upon which they received thoii grants , with the purpose undoubtedly o putting congress in possession of tin views of both the railroads and the dc partmont on the subject. To say thi least , therefore , of the attitude of the St Paul & Sioux City corporation , it is i piece of uncalled for arrogance , whicl avoids the real matter. With respect t ( the Northern Pacific plea , it is not un likely that it may have some foundation of which the department itself ought to have accurate knowl edge. There is reason to bcllove that some fault may bo found to attact to the government in tjiis matter , the ro suit of loose and careless administration of the land department in the past. Tlu replies of the railroads will undoubted ! ] shea some new light on this subject which the next congress will bo urgently called upon to deal with and dispose of The Annual Appeal For Subsidies. There will assemble nt Chicago to-da ; a convention of delegates representing the Lake Shore and Mississippi Viilloj department of the American sbippm ; nnd industrial league. The Pacific coast department of the league hold its conven tion last week , and adopted as a part o ! its platform the declaration that in ordei to restore the shipping interests of tin country , the government should offc liberal encouragement in the form oi subsidies. It is to be expected that tin convention at Chicago will echo thi ! view , which seems to bo about the onlj ono that takes definite term in the minds of those who are immediately conccrnei for the restoration of American shipping interests. The problem of how this country shal most wisely go to work to recover its lost place in the carrying trade of tin world is bodged about by many difll cullies. Every man who has givci any attention to the subject under stands that our present position is hot ! to our disadvantage and our humiliation A great and growing commercial natioi ought not to bo almost wholly at th mercy of foreign ship owners. It canno do so without suffering some damage t its trade interests , besides which there i a vast annual drain upon it nearly th whole of which goes into foreign pockets The merchants and people of the U nitc States pay every year to foreign shi owners probably not loss than $150 , 000,000.Vo \ are necessarily placed at disadvantage with regard to trade i : many directions for the reason that thcs foreign ship owners will always discrirr in 11 to in favor of the merchants of the ! own countries. It is humiliating that s wealthy and enterprising a people slioul be thus dependent , and that in most c tun harbors of the world the stars an stripes nt the must head of a vessel is rare .sight. It is not questionable tlin wo might greatly extend our commcrc if we had our own ships of modern spec nnd accommodations. There is the fin thur consideration that a good inorcliar raarino is desirable as the basis of a nav and is a training school for skilled so : men who would bo available at all time for national defense. In short , the arguments in favor of r < storing the shipping interests of the com try are many and forcible , but how sha it bo most wisely donoV The subsid , plan has bcon urged for years , but i never has received popular approval , an is less likely to do so now than in tli past. The people have refused to sc any force in the argument that becaus England , Germany and Franco grat largo bounties to steamship lines th country must do so as the only way c building up a marine service hero th ? can compete successfully with the son ices of thojo countries , and in vie of the fact that the shipping ii tcrests of none of the foreign com tries are now profitable an that British ship owners are disposing < such property , the subsidy argument h : less to commend it than ever boforo. Tl fact seems to be that the bounty systci in those countries has so stimulated tt shipping interests that the compctltic for business has made this class of ci tcrpriso unurofitable notwithstandin government aid. Such a state of nfTaii in very discouraging to the position < those who look only to a subsidy polk to build up American shipping. Furtl ermoro the country is not now in tt mood to create or strengthen special ii teresu by any now system of protectioi The tendency- popular belief i'a thi all has been done in this direction thi should bo. done , and that further tion.should fake a different course , j policy of shipping subsidies being inau guratcd it is impossible to say when it would stop. Wealthy corpora lions organized for this enter prlso would become so man ; now cormorants annually preying upoi Iho public Ircasury , nnd increasing the ! demands from year lo year. At all events , subsidies should bo tin very last resort , and there arc yet other to bo tried before the situation can bo ro gardcd as hopeless without govcrnmcn bounties. It should bo the business of thi convention nl Chicago to discover am suggest some of them. Onttlo Karons nnd Cheap Docf. "Dorsoy is profoundly convinced,1 says a Now York letlcr , that the peopli and the government ore all wrong it their notions about the cattle barons Ho says the cattle ranges are useless fo any other purpose , because their arldit ; makes them worthless for agriculture and consequently it is absurd to tall about holding this land for homcsteat entry. "If the cattle business , " hi added , "in that remote and arid region worlhlcss for any oilier purpose , wni wiped out of existence , the poor ant rich alike in the east would have to pt : ] double what they do now for meat More than $000,000,000 is invested in tin plains ctUilo business , and $150,000 000 worth n year of maturot beef cattle are disposed of am come out of that flection of tin east to go to Europe. The average prlci to the ranchmen does not exceed 3 } cent per pound , nnd last year it was less thai that. Take this immense production on of the market , or make the production o these caltlo in any way more exponsivi than at present , and the change in tin price of beef would bo felt in every ham let in the land. But tha policy of igno rant and malicious upslarls in Washing ton will hamper by every moans in Ihoi : power Ihe development of the great m dustry. " With his largo cattle range in Nov Mexico , Mr. Dorsoy has , possibly taught himself to believe that all ho say if true. Mr. Dorsoy would also ondorsi railroads nnd other corporations in gob bling up the entire public domain am assist them , doubtless , if ho would rccclvi a certain share of the lands taken. The truth is , cattle ranges are beiiu abandoned ; the land once "arid am worthless" is being , in many territories occupied by the pioneer sotller , win breaks Iho ground , plants trees , am sows and reaps. In Colorado it was only a few day ago a prominent paper announced tha "cattle ranges were fast crowing a thinf of the past , " and farmers wilh less calllt of a bolter grade wore taking the landi so long "considered worthies" , " and tin result was more and bettor cattle , to gcthor with wheat and corn and othei crops which bring largo returns. It is only thirty years ago that Kansas with only 80,000 population , was nothinj bul "grazing lands , " the "aridily mak ing it worthless for agriculture , " while to-day she has ono million six hundrcc thousand people. So with Nobraska- every quarter section in one-half the o the state is fenced , dotted witn house ; and barns nnd trees , and will this yea : add millions to the country's products. With the $0000,000,000 invesled ir caltlo all organized under one gigantii trust , which has the power to set thi price on nine-tenths of the beef consumoi in America , to say that it is worth K cents or. 15 cents or 20 cents per pound the logio of Mr. Dorsoy that "moat ii made cheaper , " is the veriest bosh. The time is fast coming when cattle bar ons and land barons will make room foi the honest settler , who will improve am beautify his homo. The "arid" lands o the great American geographer whosi hobby was penciling deserts has long age been proven a myth a fallacy worsi than Star lloulo Dorsey's above copiei Let Them Arbitrate. Wo have no disposition to meddle will the private business affairs of buildin ; conlractors , muster painters nnd thci employes , bul we merely express the prevailing vailing sentiment in this community tha labor troubles at this time cannot fail t inflict incalculable loss on thopartie dircclly concerned , as well as on ou whole city. The painters and carpenter cannot aflbrd to lose the wages the ought to earn during the building scasoi when the weather is so favorable for out door work , and the master builders am painters can ill-afford to lose the oppor tunity which the season affords for cat ry'mg on their trade. Wo realize the difficulties that are ii the way of an amicabla adjustment , bu we also behove that sooner or later boll parties will have to take stops for ndjtist ing their differences. Why not make th effort now ? In Chicago , where buildinj operations have bcon almost suspended ponded for thrco months , nogc tiations are in progress lo put ai end both to strikes nnd lockouts by ni bitration , under conditions which bet employers nnd workmen regard as a fai basis for settling their differences. The following loiter , published in tli Chicago dailies last Saturday , ombodie the basU on which the Chicago mastc builders are willing to arbitralo Iheir dil ferences with the bricklayers' union : To the Public : In order to permanent ) Bcttlo the differences existing between th employers and employes In the buildin trades , and to show the public that the Mas ler Masons' association Is willing to co o record as ready to do what Is just , tair an reasonable in the present difficulty , we , th executive committee of the Ma&ter Masons association , hereby otter to submit the plat form and code of principles adopted by on association the IJrlcKlaycrs' union to sul nilt their constitution and by-laws to foil business men nnd a judge of the Unite States court , said judge to select the fen business men , ube shall have full power t act as a board of arbltrallon as between th Master Masons' association nnd the Uriel layers' and Htonemasons' union , and w hereby agree to abide by the decision of tli majority of the said board of arbitration. Several of Iho master masons were or posed to this , but they were a small m ! nority. The cool-headed loadets reco ; nixed the fact that it was policy to mec the strikers half way. Why can't Oman builders nnd contractors make simila overtures to their workmen ? Notliin can certainly bo losl in an effort to peace ably setllo llm prevailing differences. Tnic Now York Tribune estimates th present population of Iho Untied State ut over 01,000,000. It assumes that th addition by immigration during the tisca year ending to-morrow , will bo half million'which will bring the total io crease from this source for the pas seven years up lo 8,800,8SO.

Not only have these valuable uablo papers and documents been thin exposed to destruction by fire , but inter csted parties could readily cause them It bo mutilated or oven have Ihom stolci with very little risk or trouble. The ncg ligcnco of the old board in tailing U make provisions for Iho safe keeping o these documents , justly deserves feovcn censure. Last week the now bo an called the attention of the council lo tin reckless exposure of its books am papers , but no notion has yet been taken It Is to bo hoped that the council wil promptly authorize the purchase of i commodious safe or the removal of tin office of Iho board lo a locality where i vault will bo at its disposal. SEVERAL communications received b : the UEE regarding Iho dog nuisance in dicalo that there is a good deal of publii interest in the matter.

THE Kansas City Times predicts tha the boom in that city will last "until tin republican party elects another prcsl dent. " People in that thriving towi who have confidcnc o in the judgment o the Tunes should not lose sight of tin fact that the next presidential clcctioi will occur in Noveipfcor , 1838 , and shouli improve the intcriifa jn disposing of thci : possessions and removing to Omahn whose future prosperity is not subject t < any contingency of less consequcnci than an earlhquako that would swallov her up , together with the elaloj and lorri lories of which she is Iho nalura metropolis.

A comparisoi wilh Uoslon may Ihoroforo reassure Omaha croakers lhat this city with a deb of about ono million is by no means or the road to bankruptcy. ACCORDING to the Now York Com mcrcial Advertiser "tho largo dealers nne manufacturers of fire works say tha their business this year is so much grcate than ever before that no past year cat well bo compared to it. " This mean that the small boy has joined the pro cession and will assist in making tin centennial birthday of the nation tin grandest of them all. MOYNHIAN'S key-hole editor has made the discovery thai Seavey is an expellee mason. This may bo Iruo , bul can havi no bearing on the legality of his appoint nicnt as chief of police.

The Court of Public Opinion. A'ii/t Amctlcnn Ilcvicu : It was before the high bar that the press determined lo bring Iho wrelchot1 creatures who had betrayed Now Yorl nnd dragged her honor in the dirt. It ru quired n whole year to appeal before the attention of the court was riveted on the case. The court was fair and cautious , It asked what defence could say for itself It demanded all the facts on either side , The newspapers rcsponelod fully nnd frankly to thin just requirement. Thoii columns were freely opened to the ac cusod. It is a most important fact , ane ! one which of itself disposes of the charge of injustice on the part of the press , that not a single fact urged in defence of the aldermen in the courts was omitted from the ovielcnco laid by the newspapers before fore the ucoplo. In facts , hundreds oi false claims lhal Iho accused dared nol proeluco where their prejudices could be punished wore placed lo Iho credit side of their account in the press. The news' papers tried their case for them wilh fai more skill than it has ever been tried before fore tv sworn jury. The court of public opinion , onoo summoned , lent a most at tentive ear. It hoard all that could be said on either side. And when the evi dence was all in , when both sides had ex hausted their testimony and their pleas , the court pronounced its solemn and de liberate judcmont guilty ! It followed all the rules of evidence , which are nothing more nor less than codified com mon sense. And when its infallible ver dict was returned , it loft the fallible ma chinery of justice to register its decree , or fail iu that duty. Liberty for Traveling Rugslaus. Pall Mall Gazette : It is notable how few Russians are to bo found in the for eign colony which every grout European capital shelters. We meet plenty of them travcling.but these are often the wealthier classes , but wo do not find n Russian quarter in London or Paris or Uerlin. The cause dates buck to the days of Peter the Groat. So scanty was the population In that time that legislation was pushed lo its utmost severity to keep the Russians on their own soil. To this day article S2fi of the penal code remains unropealcd. The Russian who suffers himself to become - come the naturnli/.oel subject of another country ipso faclo breaks the laws of his own and loses all his rights , civil and po litical. He comes under the sentence of perpetual exile , nnd is liable on his re turn to his own land to deportation to Siberia. A bill has just been introduced 10 moelify the Draconic seventy of thi ! absurd and cruel law. The wanderer is allowed to return , nnd if ho remains a year in Russia his original nationality ro- vives. The ponulties , moreover , will all bo swept away , except when the object ol the expatriation has been to avoid con scription. It will bo interesting to note the graelnal effect of the law on the fugi tive population of other capitals. The ConcroRational Union.

It was rumored Monday at the steelyards yards in South Omaha that the packing house built last year forT. J. Llpton hae been solel to Armour & Co. This rumoi was based upon the fact that ncgolia lions for Ihe Iransfcr wcro pending , a'nc these negotiations were based upon thi f net that for some time past it has boci protly generally undcrslood lhat it wa not an easy mailer lo make Lip ton's house a success. Lipton is tin largest retail dealer of provisions in tin world nnd has over thirty mammoth retail tail establishments in England and Scot land. To supply this trade ho hns locateu packing houses in America. The trndi which Lipton supplies demands what un are known ns light hogs thai is , hoij ! weighing from 180 lo 225 pounds. Ii some parts of the country , where corn is not plenty , it is easy to obtain light hogs but in Nebraska , wnerc com is in nbun da n co and cheap , the farmers will no sell their hogs while they weigh only 201 pounds , when they can make them weigl SCO pounds by keeping them a little longer , and thus realize more for them For this reasem Iho Lipton packing housi nt South Omaha has not been u biiceess us the kind of hogs necessary to suppli their trade could not bo had. The liousi has been running in a small way eve ; since it was opened last fall , and ; asidi from the past few weeks , it has not beet nny help to the Omaha hog market. / good manv of the hogs which they killee thov were forced to ship up from Knusai City. City.Yesterelay morning a Ben reporter sav John A. McShano and asked it the rumoi was correct. "It is not correct , " ho said , "and i'oi the best of reasons. " lie then showee the reporter a telegram which lie hac just received from Armour in Chicago , and which reaelns follows : "We woule bu glael to purchase , but the plans a1 shown us would not permit of enlarge ment. " This telegram was in response to one suggcbting a purchase of Iho Liploi : homo. Just what Mr. Armour will yet do build a house himself or change his mine us to Lipton's , remains to bo seen. Mr. Lipton , who has been in Chicage for so oml days , is expected hero in i short lime. THIS noAUD OF Sonio Facts Hclntln ; ; to It ns It KtdlUlH. Dr. P. S. Loiscnring , acting secretary of tlio board of health , reports that out side of dinrrha-al complaints , the health of Omaha ih remarkably good for thi ! season of the year. Ho likewise com plains that physicians and mlelwlvrs art growing most culpably negligent in re porting biiths , nnel that if they are nol more punctual hereafter nn example will bu made of .sonic ot them. By the way , docs anybody know jusl exactly what our present board of health is , who composes it and what iti itf modus operand ! of ofllclnl work. Thi ; compononUpnrt of the city government , it will bo borne In mind , is now working under the now ordinance passed last spring , but ns yet the clerk has not be come cognisant of any reorganiza tion , or familiar with any work that has been accomplished. For the past eight years Dr. Lelsenring has about litcrallv Tigurcel as the board of health himself , but Is ruadv at any limn to turn over his credentials to n successor whenever he may bo appointed. Under the old rccimo the board con sisted of Iho mayor , city marshal , nnd the president of the city council , but it was a rarn thing for them to gut to gether in regular session. An ordumnrc is now in contemplation provieling foi the formation of a now boitrel to be made upof the mayor and a physician from each warel in the city , members to M nominated by the mayor and confirmed by Iho city council , In orelur that nouo bul competent men will got in , As the matter now stands the eilty is practi cally without a health board but there Is no tolling how soon one might bo n very desirable mid important adjunct. The cholera , un epidemic of small pox or pestilence ) of nny description would prove a potent iiiilucnco in weakening this particular part of the city govern * went. MQUOIt MCI2NSI2S. The Mnyor Hnys $1OUO Must Hero- uftor Ito Palel In Advance. The influx of strangeirs from Iowa and. other places lo this city who have slarted into Iho saloon business , ns also Iho care lessness which has been often dl * nyed by saloon keepers in living up lo the laws nnd the ordinances , have compelled Mayor Broatch to take n firm stand in the matter of issu ing saloon licenses iu the future. Ho has como to the conclusion thai , so far as ho is concerned , he will hereafter in sist upon saloonkeepers paying $1,000 in advance for their license instead of in four iustallmonts ns heretofore. There are three members upon the llcemso board the mayor , the chairman of the council and the city clerk , Iho last mentioned , Mr. Southard , mnelo his appearance while the BKE re porter was talking with the mayor , and having been told what the Intler had said , remarked Unit his honor could not pre vent the issuance ) of licenses , as men tioned unelcr the stalutes. "Then I shall go to the courts , " said the mayor , "and pot them to restrain Iho licunso boarel. The orelluanccs are illegal. They nro not in con formity with the stntuto law. I was opposed lo them when they were passed. The license board , may or may not , at its eliscrotion , issue licenses , and if the majority of that board oppose mo , i shall have the eiucstlou settled in tno courts. I am doing this not to elrivo out the liquor business or the reputable people ple , but to protect them , while nt the same time caring for the interests of the city by preventing from engaging in the traffic , irresponsible people from those and other parts. Some of these como here , secure a site , sot up their features and actually conunenco to sell liquors be fore Ihcy have secured a permit. "I know that if this law is enforced it will reduce Ihe money for school pur poses. But then that is no reason why we should consent to a wrong. Besides , the reduction will not be so great ns you think. There are now 240 saloons in town. I think at least 200 of these will bo able to pay for their licenses in advance. I have spoken to saloonkecper lnd I find that to bo the case. We may lose a few thousand dollars , but what wo would otherwise gain in our receipts wo would lose from our general finance in provid ing a police force now required by the saloons. " Railroad Now * . A. L. Davis formerly joint telegraph operator for the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha and the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley rends at Blair is to bo made joint lickot agent for those roads at that place in connection with his duties as operator , Mr. P. P. Shelby , assistant traffic man ager of the Union Pacific , of Salt Lake , arrived this morning , and will appear before the commission this afternoon. The B. & M. railroad folks have made some new anel neat improvements in nnd about their headquarters. W. B. Crosby , of the Stonington line , Boston , is at the Paxton. OMAHA AND YANKTOK. Secretary Nattingor has received a letter - tor from J. R. Hanson , of Yankton , stat ing that ho hns been positively assured that if Mr. Young and his backers do not build the Omaha and Yankton rood thnt line will bo constructed by the Omaha Southern company , though for the sake of not gelling the people in the northern part of the state confused , ho would prefer that the road should bo con- structeel by the original company. Mr. H. T. Clark says that Mr. Young , who has boon cast and negotiating for the road , though long overdue , wul ar rive here to-morrow.

Watkin : Walking with Mr. Scwarel in Iho slreots of Albany , after the day's shouts nnel ceremonies were over , Mr. Suward salel to the Duke of Cambridge : "Wo really do not want to gei lo war with you : and wo know you dare not go to war with us. " To which Iho eluko replied : "Jo not remain under such an error. Tlie'ro is no people under heaven from whom we > should endure so much as fiom yours ; to whom wo should make Mich concessions. You may , while we , ' cannot , forgot that wo are largely of the ) same blood. But once touch us in our honor and you will very soon find the bricks of Now York and Boston fall- inir about your heads. " In relating this to me tlui duke added : "It startled Sow- aril a good dual ; but he put on n look of incredulity nevertheless. And I do not think they believe wo should ever fight them ; but wo certainly should if the provocation were strong , " It will bo remarked that this conversation between Sowarel nnd the ilnko was in 1800.
