APOSTU : CANNOX , of Utnh , who jjuvo hltntioU up und goes to tbo penitentiary , has miido hhnsulf a very big yun in tlic eyes of his Mormon Hytnrmtliizers. SOMK of our contemporaries uro try ing to iiorsuiulq the city council to fo to Minneapolis to leurn something about street swooping. Why not Bond Fan ning tfc SlavenV NicmtASKA promises a largo corn crop and a small crop of hogs this fall. This ought to mean high prices for porkers uiilo&H our packers join the fashion of combination and organize a trust to de press the price of pork on the hoof. Mu. MAYNI : having stepped grace fully down und out of the board of public works , there i.s no longer u doubt ns to btho vacancy. It remains to bo seen now whether the choice of the mayor will receive the approval of a majority of the council. . WHEN Gal Brice was approached by the hungry Illinois democrats for a slice of Cleveland's ten thousand dollar pie , ho winked his loft eye and took the next train for Now York , whore the rfionoy will bo disbursed where it will do the most good. TltE people of Omaha will have no objection to the motor system so long as it is not combined with the overhead oloctrlc wire system. Danger on the track and overhead at the same time has boon found to bo too muoh of a good thing in rapid transportation. THE trunk lines are already begin ning to experience a scarcity of cars to carry the rapidly increasing tonnage ol the season. The business into Chicago for the first week of Soptornbor was the heaviest of any week in the year. This means to the railroads a heavy local trafllc , which , to a great measure , off- eets their losses on through business duo to'tho slashingof through rates in their wars. THE department of agriculture has fust finished an interesting table showIng - Ing the probable yield in the corn crop of the eleven principal corn states as compared with the returns of 1887. In the list of corn producing states Ne braska ranks fifth with an estimated yield of ono hundred and forty millions bushels as compared with ninety-three millions bushels in 1887. The condition of the crop , estimated at thirty bushels per acre , is likewise much bettor than that of last year , when the average yield was twenty-two bushels. Without a doubt the probont corn crop will read : high water'mark. WITH a few more weeks of the prcssiotml session halt the members ol \ho senate will not. bo on speaking terms with the other half. Senator : Voorhoes and Ingalls now have to b < introduced to oaoh other. Hippie Mitchell and Morgan no longer lool for the strawberry marks on-oaoh other arm. Brother Blair , of Now Hump fihlro , and Butler , of South Carolina nro strangers as they pass by and no\ Senators Hoar and Payne have bcoi abusing each other like pickpockets ii debate. The courtesy of the senate ha become very much llko the prollminar , hand shako of the prizu ring. WHEN the Union Pacific operated it old bridge across the Missouri rlvor year or two ago , its toll for currying : horse , wngon and driver in the Swob vestibule car from Omaha to the Broa ( ] way depot was twenty-five cents. Whor however , the now bridge was opened t 'the public , the company made a no bridge toll. Thirty-five cents is the rat now oh&rgod for carrying a horse , wage and driver from Omaha to the Broad way depot , whllo twenty-live coats ar exacted for the privilege of drivlu across that part of the structur alleged to bo used for the crossing c teams. Why ton cents more should b charged this year on the rallwa "ferry"than was deemed roasonabl and remunerative two years ago , is mystery which Mr. Charles Francl Adums alone is able to explain. Is possible that the bombastic throats < the Nebraska railroad commission , mat just before every nominating convoi tlpn , to reduce local rates , are rospons Wo ( orthisintor-atato raise ? Or , are tl citizens of Omaha and Council Blut being .punished for the obstinacy i Congress , in refusing to pass the Outl waits funding bill ? Ilint Allpnptl Contribution. It U nn nlinoil Incredible report that comes from N'ow York regarding the nl- Ifgc'd contribution by Mr. Cleveland of ten thousand dollars to the campaign fund. It la stated that a rumor has been prevalent there for several days that thu prcxidcut hits not given any such sum , that the announcement that ho hnd done so was made by the national committee merely to stimulate contri bution ! * , and that all this wa ? confcuscd by Chairman Hriee while lie wan re cently in Chlcngo. According to this riMrt | ) thu .statement regarding the con tribution win a deliberate deception , which was strenuously opposed by members of the national committee. Further developments In this matter will ho awaited with a great deal of in terest. Meanwhile it will bo taken for granted that the contribution is a fact. To allow the .statement to go out thai Mr. Cleveland had contributed ton thousand dollars simply as a blind to draw in contributions from other sources would bo a very hazardous pro ceeding , sitico it could hardly oscnpo eventual exposure. Besides , the presi dent would noeosHarily bo involved in the deception , as oven the fresh mid venturesome Colonel Brice would hardly dare t e the name of Mr. Cleveland in a matter of this kind without his knowl edge and consent. Until there is better evidence Umn jnore rumor , therefore , it must continue to bo bolievcd that Mr. Cleveland supplied the campaign committee with one-twentieth of his year's salnry , with all that implies. AH to Colonel Brico's western visit , it appears not to have been productive of results largely gratifying to the "rain bow chaser. " Ho is represented to have discovered that , there had boon a great deal of misleading tulle about the drift of western political sentiment. The colonel is likely to have forthor revolu tions discouraging to his plans and hopes bcforo the campaign closes. Rad Temper in Some very just comment is made rep rehending the recent exhibitions of bad temper in congress. More par ticularly in the senate , within a short time , there have been several out breaks of biHonxs-i and exchanges of porf'Onalilit'3 whioh did not contribute to the dignity of that body , and in one instance at least the men involved were the last of whom such a manifestation of feeling would have boon expected. The political battle has been waged warmly in both branches of congress , and especially so in the upper branch since the passage of the tarilf bill by the house. The weather of Wash ington in midsummer is not of the sort that conduces to good temper , and it has boon a little worse and a little - tlo more prolonged this year than usual. The principal issue of the cam paign is more potent than any other as a strife maker and in exciting whatever combative instinct a man may posboss. Lot any two individuals mooting casually talk about anything but the tariff and there is no danger to their friendly intercourse , hut when they join issue on that question it is gener ally .safe to wager that they will part quarreling and with a very poor opin ion of each other. All this being so , it is not difficult to ilnd an explanation , and perhaps some palliation , for the irritability and strife of oven grave and reverend senators. But those exhibitions of bad temper in congress cannot be approved , who ever way bo at fault or whatever the ag gravating circumstances. Something bettor , by way of example to the country , as well as for the preservation of the national dignity before the world , is ex pected of the men who represent the grand constituency of sixty millions in the national legislature. What is looked for there is the calm and elevated dlS' cusslou of principles , and not contro versies designed to make party capital which always and of necessity dovolo ] more or less personal wrangling and bitterness. It is probable that everybody wil agree that the political campaign has taken up far too much of the attention of both houses of congress , where it properly has no business. It is to be fought out before the people , in a waj that custom has prescribed , and if the politicians in congress are eager to take a hand in it they should adjourn and gc into the fiola where they may do politi cal work without interfering with thoii legislative duties. Onloinl Politeness. Civility and ordinary politeness , note to sppak of courtesy , do not gonerall ; mark the conduct of public officials to ward the public. The average office holder appears to think that the moment mont ho assumes official functions it becomes comes necessary that ho should koo ; the average citizen at a certain distance tanco , and Impress him with the idoi that there is a person of rank and au thority which it is the duty of the clti zen to recognize and bow to. The ottl e holder may abjectly "crook the pregnant nant hinges of the knee" to the man o political inlluonco and play the syce phant to his superiors , but who ; ho comes in contact with th plain citizen his manner i that of n sovereign rather than a sei vant , and the more of this the plain oil izen will stand , the larger the dose th arrogant official will administer. In order to understand how great i this abuse of official position one mut have business with the departments a Washington. There official arroganc and presumption naturally obtain thoi highest development. The indiyidur who has boon transplanted from a coun try town to tlio national capital an given a place on the government pa roll speedily manifests an' astonishlu growth of Bolf-iraportunco. In a voi little whllo ho gets to fool tin ho is a factor in the affairs an life of a great government , an that ordinary people with ord nary duties and responsibilities at not worth concerning himself about. . ' may bo n good deal of a struggle wit him to make ends meet , but this do < not interfere with his conscious super orlty over those who are obvious ) prosperous and happy , though m officeholders. It Js perhaps natural that men new \ public duties , as are a majority of thoi under the present administration , should fool this way , and perhaps seine palliation may bo found for the lack of civility and politeness on the part of these officeholders in the fact that they nro continually subjected to a vast ntnount of applications for information that nro of a nature to ncverely tax the patience of the comparatively Inexperi enced. But Incivility and impolite ness are faults that grow rapidly if permitted to. and it would sonm from the circular just Issued by Commissioner ytockslnger of the general - oral land office that they had reached a development among the otllcials under his authority which demanded sum mary treatment. IIo informs the em ployes of the land office that It is thu right of every citizen to go to the uu- credilod agents of the government for desired information , and that it is the duty of such employes , sis public sorv- nntb. to give to every citizen Hooking information "polite , patient and consid erate treatment. " This has boon the rule of ollioiul conduct with the com missioner himself , and having found It to bo a good rule , neither impairing his usefulness nor retarding him in the proper performance of his duties , ho very properly Intends to require its ob servance of all under his authority. The action of the commissioner in this matter is novel , but not therefore the lobs commendable. It attests the urgent necoHsity of reform In this di rection , and if it should provo to bo a wholesotno example , as It should do , Mr. Stockslagor will have gained the right to bo regarded as ono of the most useful practical reformers nndur the present administration. At all events the thousand of plain people who have biminoss with the laud office will have reason to gratefully remember him. Now Vort OtuuMil J5its. ( The bids for a site for the new Fort , Omaha have boon opened by the secre tary of war and will bo found in detail elsewhere in our dispatches. It will bo noted that they cover proposals for all sizes of silos within the limitations called for by the department , and vary in price from sixty to ono hundred and fifty dollar * an acre. There seems to have boon a wide latitude in the inter pretation as to what constituted the tcn- milo limit. There are proposals from Port Calhoun on the north to Bellevue on the south , and from the river to points half way to tie ! western line of Douglas county. If the distance had been estimated from the canter of Ointuiu as a starling point several of the bids would doubtless have to be thrown out. out.The The next step towards the removal of the post will bo the appointment of a board of officers to examine and report upon the various sites offered. This board will presumably be selected by the secretary of war. and de tails will in all likelihood be tnado from the engineer corps of the army. This will bo the work of some time. In deciding upon what is the most available site from among1 the many offered , the board will take into consideration the topographical features of the land ; its advantages in the way of ready drainage ; the water-supply , and its accessibility to adjacent rail roads. Other things being equal , it ia to bo presumed that the site which combines the most of the o advantages , with reasonableness in price , will b-j chosen. Meantime the various bidders will do well to possess their souls in patience. Army red-tape unrolls slowly , and it is scarcely probable that the various re ports and endorsements will roach the secretary of war for a number of months to come. Whoa final action has been taken by the war office , the question oi titles will have to be passed upon , and this in Itself is likely to consume a considerable additional amount oi time. Under the terms of the acl the state must code jurisdiction to the United States and action of the legislature will consequently be ncces sary. The officers at Port Omaha are no' ' yet making preparations to move , anc' do not anticipate doing so for at leas eighteen mouths to come. If previou- experiences in proposed changes of mil itary posts can bo taken for a criterion it will be two or throe years before the abandonment of the old Fort Omaha and the removal of Its garrison to th ( now po t , for whoso site bids have jus boon opened. Why Has It Not Appeared ? Who is holding the senate committee too on finance back ? For nearly si : weeks the republican party has boei promised a republican bill which wil embody republican ideas on tariff re form. A senatorial caucus is said ti have so determined. A score of ropub llcan senators have corroborated tin rumor. The high authority of Senatoi Allison has been quoted as an assuranci thnt there will bo no needless delay Why has it not appeared ? Up to a week ago the party was givoi to understand that the political exigencies goncios of the Maine canvass made i wise to withhold the bill. But the Main election is over and the bill still hang flro. It Is said to be loaded with vnlnu bio republican campaign material. Wh , is it not touched off and the party givei the benefit ? Thousands of northern democrat ! wage workers are in revolt against th Mills bill , which is to-day the demo cratio platform. They are opposed t it on account of its sectionalism. The antagonize it because it assails the loaf protected Industries most vlgorousl and merely scratches the schedules c these which are bolstered bshind oxcef sivo protection by tariff. They ar fighting it because they believe that i is drawn more in the interest of th wage payer than the wage earner. Sue ! men and voters nro anxiously oxpectln and have a right to oxpoot with anxiou interest the senate's solution of th great issue of the canvass. REXKWED interest is awakened ovc the fact that the Sioux Indians of th Crow Crook and Lower Brulo agenda have signed the proposed treaty wit but little persuasion on the part of th commissioners. Those Indiana are th most educated and hard working of th Sioux race , and know the advantages c , u7 allotments of lnnd ui Intercourse with the whites.

IT fmiiKKs us that the proposed base ball match between members of the school board and city council has re ceived too much oflleial attention. It would have been a matter of indiffer ence to the constituents of botli these bodies if a private base ball match had been arranged between Individuals holding seats in thu council and board of education. But when a challenge is front and accepted and a record is made fllcially of a bull match among other iroceedings of the board of education ho matter partakes altogether too nuch of trilling and lowers the respect n which tlio board of education ought o bo held by the patrons of the schools , ho teachers and the pupils.

The I onjj Pine Journal , though republican , evidently believes to the viotor bclones the spoils , for it aaj'd : "It will soon bu time for republicans to make application for the va rious federal positions. No mugwumps need apply. " While Congressman Dorsey was in Omaha foreclosing a mortgage last week , the editor of the Nance County Soatinol panned these lines : "Hon. G. AV. Dorauy is attending strictly to his duties at Washington. Mean while his constituents will see that ho is returned - turned to coiipress for another two years. " The Hebron Journal sees the political storm gather and predicts scvoful ship wrecks. "How graceful , " it says , "will John McShuno sink out of sight ia the polit ical sea on the Gth of November , und ho will not be ulonc. Hla little gubernatorial sloe p will bo accompanied Into the vortex by the dismantled and thoroughly wrecked presi dential man-of-war of Grover Cleveland. And then thousands of binullur cruft will also meet the same fate. " Says the Fremont Tribune : "Itcpubllcan ptipers throughout the state are warning the people against the democratic scheme to cap ture the legislature in order that McShano's defeat as governor may bo softened by uu election to thu United Statei' seuuto. The Tribune has no fear , whatever , that this dia bolical sehemo will succcd , but it is just as well tokeop republicans posted on the move ments of the enemy , Just for the general in terest there Js in thu matter. " Captnin Ashby is evidently in hard lines nt his Gage county home , for the Beatrice Republican remarks : "The Omaha Hor.ild gives Captain Ashl > ydemocratio candidate for state senator , a line send off. It Is too bad that the captain should bo compelled to go so far away from homo to mid a paper that would give him a decent compliment. But perhaps the versatile captain will console himself with the adage that a 'prophet is not without honor save in his own country. ' " The Wuyuo Ga/.otto Illustrates ono of the inconsistencies of politics us follows : "The union labor party at their convention last \vcok , passed by an almost unanimous votu , a resolution endorsing Attorney General Loose , and then very consistently ( i ) nom inated n fifth-rate attorney with the avowed purpose of defeating Mr. Leeso. The truth of the matter Is , thnt while they know Mr. Leeso to bo the man of men for this position , they would bo glad to hnvo him defeated foi the simple reason that he is a republican. " The Grand Island Independent rejoices , as it should , over the defeat of Traitor Cruno , and remarks : "Crauc , the traitor to hie constituents was supported in the district convention by nil the available rallroai influences , but after a long fight , defeatec by J.

If Crane had been nominated natod , ho and his railroads would have beer snowed under at the election , Just as well ai railroad nominations in Hall and Howard counties will bo buried under au avalanchi of snow. " The Friend Telegraph remarks : "No\i that , lion William Lceso lias boon renoml uatcd and the farmers of the state have won ono of the greatest victories over won bj them , they should sco to it that ho is elected by as big , it not a blggor majority than anj man ou the ticket.

Fnnn crs who do not doslro to continue to raise and give the railroad t.Vo bushels of corn ant oats to eat ono hauled to market , will BCD to It that Loose gets their votes next No vombor. " 'Shall the railroads rule or the people 1' inquires the Grand Island Independent. And than it goes on to say : "That this is the all absorbing question , really tbo only one , oc which our fttnto politics 'turn , In becoming more apparent every day. The late proceed ings before nnd in our board of transporta tion , mid the decision against the pconlo In consequence ol the treachery of ono member of the board , prove that the railroads * , If they cannot destroy tlio power of the board to reduce the rates by Judgments of the courts , are trying iiud nlwnys will try to suf- focnto it under a load of technicalities , nnd that they understand the secret of changing the majorities Into the minorities. It scorns very easy for them to seduce ono member from the path of his duty , and make him lese nil his former intellect nnd understanding of the caso. And this one member may give them nil thu power and control over the whole state they want. Wo need a bolter board of transpoita- lion , ono that will not have majorities favorable to the railroad com- pnnles ; but wo can uot hnvo It without elect ing the very best men for st.ito otHeers , es pecially u good man in the phico of Laws. Wo must have umcmUneuts to the law which established the board of transportation , giv ing it full power to aut and defining the way in which they have to proceed , nnd n law establishing- maximum rates. And wo ought to huvo an amendment to our constitution allowing the election of n board of transpor tation independent of our stnto ofllccrs. Those and other important laws the railroad companies , with all their undue Inlluonco , will oppose , and they uro opjioslng them now , as they have done for moro than n year , by working hard to elect officers imu members of the legislature who will work and vote according to their order , whllo the orders of the constituents will bo dislodged. This great question , wliothor the rail roads shall ugulu succeed In getting con trol of the sliitu power , to the sup pression of the people , is the only main ques tion to be decided In this fall's election , and it is uioro than ever necessary that our voters have their eyes open und never give their vote to mini whose independence is not fully beyond all doubt. No prom'sea , no pledges , no friendships ought to bo cured for. Inti mate knowledge of a mini's character and thu full conviction that no will do his full duty towards the i > oople is necessary. And this great question has nothing at all to do with the two old partlci , the republican and democratic. Neither of them has entirely clean hands , nnd both of thum contain some good men. The voters ought to carefully pick out the men who can bo trusted , without any re gard to their party relations.Vo have boon deceived too often , and the preparations for now deceptions are in full blast. Thwstc-n , the head and front of the railroad company , is doing his host to blind the people , nnd the railroad tools uro busy recommending tlio old railroad workers , the Church Howes , the Kussols , the Cranes , the Wilholmsens , the John Meanscs und Uaydon Strongs. They want the voters to smile on the men , who again will smile on the railroads , so that their railroad Interests may flourish and the people once more bo deceived , as they last week were deceived In Lincoln.
