THK candidate of the democracy fo _ Vlco president has started in early as i distributor of patronage , and his firs act in this direction is said to have bcoi a manifestation of hostility to Senate Payne.

Mr. Crane at his own homo in Loup county for his buso betrayal of his con stituents. After brooding over this rastigatlon for a month or six weeks , Crane come < to the front with ti charge that Van Wyck offered him a large etihi of money for his support n day or two before tha election 0f United States Honator. \Vo will waslo very few words on Crane an l Ills disclosure. It Is notorious rious that Crane was elected to the log- ishituro on public pledges to support Van Wyck for rc-cloction. Ilh con- atituunts oxpouted and believed ho would vote for Van Wyok , first , last and all the time. Van Wyck counted on Cranu'tf support as much as he did on the delegation from his own county. When the legislature mot Grano pro- foosoil to bo for Van W.vck and led the general and his friends to bolicvo that ho would stand by him. Docs it bland to reason that Van Wyck would attempt to bribe ono of his own supporter * ? If Van Wyck was short of votej and had to go In the market for them , what advantage would ho gain by iTcring money for support in his own amp ? The truth is that Crane is a brazen 'Oguo. ' He was a traitor to his con- titucnts , not only on the bcn- itorial question , but upon every uo that affected their welfare is taxpayers nnd citizens. TJo was a distant associate of the oil-room lobby- > ts. Ho drank with them , slent with hem , and voted for them. If ho refused my bribes from anybody for anything , t was only booau&e there was a higher bid la sight. Baym-il's Laino Defense , The speech of Senator Hoar on the floherios treaty , which necessarily in- olvcd a criticism of the. administra tion , drew out from Secretary Bayard an attempted defense which wo have no iloubt the best friends of the premier of ho cabinet will admit ho would have lietm wiser to have withheld. The ar raignment made by the Massachusetts senator was exceedingly severe , per- laps in some rospucts too mucli so , but wo cannot iind in the effort at dofensc made by the secretary of state that it was not without substantial grounds. On the contrary , some of the most important of the state ments inndo by Senator Hoar arc virtually admitted by Secretary Bay ard , whiles as to the othqrs , if the sena tor erred it was simply becauho the tate department had withhold from the country Information which it was enti tled to. It is pretty clearly shown by the in terview with Secretory Bayard whicl : xiudor the circumstances is entitled tc just as much credence as a statement over his own signature that the conv mission on the part of the United Statoi to arrange the fisheries controversy , o which Mr. Bayard was the head ant spokesman , was not the equal in diplo matic ability of the British plonl potcntianos. The fact is made ovidcn : by the admissions of Mr. Bayard that the most important concession ! were made by the representatives of th < United States , and that where then was really any vital issue it was this country that yielded. The spirit whicl appeared to control the American rep rohcntativos was that of compromise and quite-naturally Chamberlain ant his associates took advantage of this , The concessions wore , of course , not at ! on ono side , but the best of them won not in favor of this country. The claim of Secretary Bayard thai the administration is jealous of tlu rights of American seamen and has maintained them will not stand the tea of investigation. It Is a matter of general oral knowledge that the ndralnistratloi showed a complete apathy and IndilTer once regarding the rights of America ) fishermen until it was most vigorous ! ; spurred to interest by the univorsa popular condemnation of its conduc nnd the action of congress providing fo a policy of retaliation in the event of i continuance by Canada of its outrage in palpable defiance of treaty oblign tions. Never in its hibtory was th country more completely humiliatoi than by the toleration of the abuse heaped upon American fishermen b ; the Canadian authorities abuses whicl any other self-respecting nation wouli have resented in the most forci bio manner. Bnt the udmlnistni tion was satisfied with forwarding t the British government BOHIO mild prc tests , \\hioh tlmtgovornmentarroganll took its own time to respond to , the Can ndian authorities meantime doliantl , nnd insolently continuing the outrages Secretary Bayard is himself on rccor as complaining that the British govern ment had failed to give his communl cations ouch prompt attention as the sc rlous character of their representation called for , but the administration scoin never to have realized that such trcal ment was an insult of the graves nature to the nation. In communication to congress rogardln this controversy , the late Secrotar , Manning referred in vigorous terms t the neglect which the British govorr inont had shown in giving attention t the protests and demands of this go\ eminent , while setting forth in th strongest language the churactur of th outrages that had been committui Yet when congress , moved to deeisiv action by this state of ntfairs , authoi ized the president to adopt a rolallator policy In the event of the abusca belt ) persisted in , the administration , u stead of talcing stops to protc ( the rights of American fishermen , it slsted ujKm the observance of treaty ol ligntions , and to maintain the dignlt of the government , on its own accout and in disregard of the expressed wi of congrois , opened negotiations for commission to arrange a treaty for th settlement of the controversy. There would bo no sorioua objcctio to this if the treaty agreed on by tli commission was entirely fair to Amor can interests , Ion the people of th country would like to BOO the issue to tied on a just basis , but it is upparen oven from the admissions ol Secrctat Bayard , that under the treaty suj mittcd to the sonata the Unite States would be placed at disadvantage. There ought to bo no consideration * ot political capital or 1 partisan advantage'involved in the dis cussion of this matter , Itla n quojtion of international rights nnd treaty obli gations. The America. ) ! people want only what is just nnd fair , and they will bo satisfied with nothing loss. But it IB admissible to refer to the conduct of the administration in connection with this issue us important proof of Its incontpo- toncy to deal wisely with the foreign aFfalrs of the government , and such n charge Is not successfully confuted by the defense of its course made by Secre tary Bayard. LAST Saturday a report obtained on the Now York stock exchange that Manager Stone , of the Chicago , Bur lington ? ; Qulnoy , had resigned , and immudiatoly the stock advanced two points. "Whether justly ot' unjustly , " ays the financial report of the Now York 2YniM of last Sunday , "tho street sttmato of the ability of this gentle- nan for the important position ho holds vas evidenced In the Immediate ad vance of two points in the price of the lock. " It is not difficult to understand hat the shrewd men of Wall street , ho take a purely practical view of matters , would not have a very high pinion of a railroad manager who damages the corporation under MH ontrol to the extent of over five million dollars in five months , and not content with thh enters upon an ther policy of hostility to the former employes of the road which invites fur- her damage to its interests. Prom ho beginning of the difficulty between ho Burlington and its mployos , which could have boon easily averted , Man- : iger Stonu has shown himself wholly .mlit for the responsible position ho occupies , and nowhere is this better understood than in Wall street. The stockholders of the Burlington may hid an instructive pointer in what hap pened on the stock exchange last Sat urday. Tilij Port Worth deep water conven tion just hold , at which representatives rom Texas , Kansas , Colorado and ether states wore present , has appealed to congress fpr an appropriation of five million dollars to establish a deepwater - water port on the coast of Texas. This is the first formal action taken by the business men ot Texas looking forward to the creation of a harbor which the largest ocean steamers can entot nnd clear at low as well as at high tide , It was the purpose of the convention tc recommend to congress to deepen one of the three porto on the coast of Texas But it was finally thought best to leave the selection of the harbor to the gov ernment , as well as the entire work o : its construction. The advantage of r deep water harbor on the Texas coast foi the entire southwest is apparent to tlu most casual observer. But oven to th < people of Nebraska , Kansas , Colorade and Utah such an ocean port whore grain nnd cattle can bo shipped dlreol to Europe isof incalculable value. Then would bo a baving of thousands of Alol lars annually In freight * charges it shipping via Texas instead of tin present long haul to the Atlantic sea board. Congress no doubt will eventually ally grant the required appropriations and take the stops necessary to create the much wished for harbor. IT is very evident to some of the olt members of the board of education tha ono or two of the now members just elected do not propose to be governoe by the action of the retiring board , The resolution of Mr. Rocs asking thai a committee bo appointed to ascortair the time for the election of toaoherc and janitors of the public schools wa eminently proper. It was a sign o weakness on the part , of the board tc vote down this resolution. The wholesale - sale manner in which the rctirinj board , as ono of its last acts , re-elected the school teachers and janitors , to saj the least , was discourteous to the boart just oloctcd. Moreover the suspicioi will always fill the air that the occasioi was used to reward favorites. The legality gality of the action of the late board i also doubtful. It is a question whelho the retiring board had any right to anticipate ticipato the present board in olcctini the teachers for the school year beginning ginning in September. There ar grounds hero for investigation dcspit the cowardice of the board to look int the matter. Mr. Recs can do tho.com munity no bolter service than to persis in his olTortstto have the board conduc its business legitimately. ON sober second thought , the suggestions tions of Mr. Peter Her respecting th palace of products enterprise , must com mend itself to the projectors of the scheme.

THK UNION PACIFIC SCHEME. The UhlcaRo Roails AVill Use Their Jlriilsc ProHpccts For n Strike. From Information derived from scml- ofilylal sources , it may bo presumed and upon very good grounds that it is but a matter of time , and a very short time at that , when all the rend * which now land their passengers at Council Bluffs will use the Union Pacific bridge , nud passengers will debark at Omaha. This action on the part of the Union Pacific Is said to be the cause of thn hurrylng-up of the union depot project because forsooth the present accommodations nro not sufficient , The motive assigned for this action on.the part of the Union5. Ic in asking other roads , or permitting other roads to use their bridgu , U of course prompted by the feai that the now bridge , for which Mr. McShuno holds n charter , may bo constructed nnd In consequence Interfere with them very seri. ously. By the v.uioim j lines , which now terminate In Council Bluffs , unloading their passengers at the UnlouJPauifiu depot much benefit may be deiiVod'which would other wise be lost. ThcrJ ) Is * no denying tlio fact tlintrtho matter is beijlfj.projectcd. It is cur rent talk in railroad circles and Is the theme of con vol.sat Ion at general headquarters. Such action , in the estimation ot a great many people , could not but bo beneficial to Omaha , The city which has for a long ttmo been a whistling station for the Union Pa cific would then become the railroad center it should have been lone ago. Passengers from the coast instead of landing nt Council Bluffs , will change cars In Omaha. If no beneilt other than the convenience of the travolinc public wore to bo derived It would still bo a great thing. I'KOSIT.OTS l-Oll A OCNHRAI. StlUKC.

A few weeks slneo there was a brotherhood meeting nt Cleveland , O. If have It from good authority that at that ses sion the question of again boycotting the cais of the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy came up. It was argued pro and con. The conservative clement argued that to take such n course was to greatly injure the In terests of the country at largo. The radical faction sot up that In warfare the deadliest the weapon used the sooner the battle was ended. So In this case a general boycott on Chicago. Burlington & Quinoy cars settles the matter. The vote taken resulted In a majority of cloven votes for the conservative element. But the radicals were not de feated. Since that time they have got in their work and they have ample opportunity. The men out of employment are chafing under the long Oclav. Those on other road : nro tired of contributing to their support ami the conseqaenco is that the llro-outhip clement nro all primed for another effort ant this time will carry their point. The niToat of Hogu and Murphy has added fuo to the flame and everything Is in readiness for a final struggle. And when that , boycott is declared look out for tionble. The llock Island during the previous ono declared that they would nol compromise their Interests by handling'Q. ' cars , and the Noithwcstcrn stood by them. There Is no question but what the ( jlilnigo Milwaukee & St. Paul would bo forced tc talco the sauio position In regard to the mat ter. There Is no use talking about the courts compelling them to handle -Q. ' freight , foi lust as soon as a writ of mandamus was issued every engineer on the road would quit and lit an event of that kind where wouli the 'Q. ' bo ! Of course they could not han dle the freight between the Missouri river and Chicago. And oven if they did , no road east of Chicago would take it , for the enpl ncors on these roads uio a unit against the Burlington. The Grand Trunk Is only wait Ing for the signal and the others will fal Into line. An to the Union Pacific , they might slant by the "Q" in view of the recent arrange ment made in regard tofrcightund imsscngor tranic , nnd doubtless would but they wouli suffer greatly. This niin.

Mr. Allison re ported back the sundry civil appropriation bill and said he would boon call it up for con sideration. The senate proceeded to the consideration of the bill to place John C. Fremont on the retired list as major-general of the army. Messrs Reagan nnd Cockrcll opposed the bill. bill.Mr. Mr. Wilson , of Iowa , asked Mr. Cookroll whether he had not voted to put Filz John Porter on the retired list. Mr. Cockrcll admitted having done so ; but if ho had done wrong once that would not justify him In doing wrong'twice. Mr. Allison said that If the senator had done wrong in the Fitz John Porter case ho would not press him any further. Mr. Coekrell said that Fitz John Porter had nothing to do with the case. If the mili tary commission examined Fremont's record and reported that ns much Injustice had been done him he would vote to restore him to his rank. Mr. Wilton suggested that that could never happen , as Fremont had not been dis missed from the army , Mr. Coekrell Bald that the record showed John C.
