Tun Knights of Labor of Indianapoli
have ofllcially taken it upon thcmsolve

't ' lating the dollar-a-day lie conucctc
with General Harrison. This was
manly course. The order felt itself i
honor bound to clear its skim of an
imputation that it took a hand in th
mean little trick of an unscrupulous pc

IT is said that the forthcoming ropoi

This is the result of an improve

SKXATOII TKLLKU hit the nail on th
head when he said that the present ac
ministration had played into the ham
ofN all street. From the moment tin
Mr. Cleveland wrote his antl-silve
letter , before his inauguration , tli
whole purpose and policy of his admii
istration has been to put the intorcs
of Wall btreet l > oforo those of the rest , <
the country. No wonder that Seerotai
Falrchild had an immense audience <
New York bankers and their satellite :
AsVK have before pointed out , it
necessary that republicans should iu
forgot the importance of electing a in :
jority of the next house of rnpresont :
lives , which is quite as essential to th
Btiproniacy of republican policy in tli
government as the election of the pro
idont. Tfio democratic majority in 111
present house is but fifteen , and thei
is very favorable promibo that it wi
bo overcome. Probable gains of ropul
llcan congressmen in Ohio , 1'onnsy
vanin , and other states warrant the c :
pcclation that the next house of ropn
bcutatlves will have a republican majoi

TO ADJOUltX TO-DAY.
The first session of the fiftieth con
frost will adjourn to-day , and the conn
ry will hail the fact with no ot-dinarj
gratification. For nt least two month'
ist there has been no reason why e'oti'
Tress should remain in session. During
nest of that time there has not been n
[ tiorum of cither house , and what bust-
KISS has boon done has been simply be'
auo there was no objection. This ? ort
of legislation is not what the countrj
expects or want1 ? , and in giving It t (
ho country congress has not only gem
contrary to all precedent , but has of
ended against what the people regari'
is the proper function of theli
cprcscnlatlves. The fact that n
najority of congressmen were uwaj
rom their posts of duty for we'oks. look
ng not after the public interests , bu
earing solely for tholr personal welfare
HIS not improved the public confidence
n the representatives of the people
Is tendency has been to strengthen at
mprcssion that the majority of con
gressmen are after all but politicians
vith whom the general welfare is al
ways subordinate to parly or personal
'onsiderations.
A political sensation on the part ol
, ho administration is possible to-day ,
nit it is not easy to conceive what it
nay bo that will have any
effect to the advantage of the
lomocracy. The aptitude of Mr
Cleveland for theatric effects is well un
Icrstood , but there appears to bo litth
opportunity for him to do anything al
his last moment of the session of cotv
gross that would not naturally bo re
, rardcd by the country as a bludicc
bchemc for elTcct , and which wouh
hereforo necessarily lose the in
luence it was expected to havo. II <
can hardly be so blind to the situatioi
is not to appreciate this , and thorefon
mt to attempt any such stMibationa
move as he is thought to contemplate.
The session of congress that wil
clo3 to-day has been the lougos
.n the history of the government , am
, n most respects it may be said to hayi
Jocu also the least advantageous 1
very great amount of legislation ha
> een proposed , but the practical result
liavo been disappointing to the country
An unprecedented amount of bills hnvi
Deen introduced , and while there ha
been some legislation in the general in
lores ! , a very great deal that shouli
liave been done , and which the pcopl
liail a right to expect of their repre
senlatives , has cither failed or bee
postponed ( o the next session , which b
reason of it being the short session inn ,
not bo able to act.
As everybody knows the most ini
portant work of the besaioi
was the passage by the house of tin
Mills tarill bill and the introduction ii
the senate of a measure as a subslitut
for this bill. Tins Ur.K has repoatedl ,
insisted that there was no probabilit
of any tariff legislation at the presou
session , and the situation verifies tli
accuracy of its judgment. Both par
lies in congress having scon the impos
sibility of final action have wisely rel
egatcd the matter to the popular deoU
ion. This question was practically take
out of congress more than three month
ago , and while it was unqucstionabl
the duty of the republican sunat
to report a measure that should clear'
dolinc the otiitudo of the party respect
ing tariff revision and reform , noboil
seriously expected that such uctio
would rcbiilt in practical legislation. ]
is absolutely necessary to await the vei
diet of the people on this question , an
one party understands this equally wit
the other.
The session that will close to-day hn
not been entirely devoid of importan
legislation. The river and harbor bil
and the Chinese restriction bill wor
measures of general interest , an
a matter of no small importune
was the amendment to the act (
last year relating to the transmission t
the electoral vote for president an
vice president. There has been som
other useful legislation , but the scssio
will bo chiolly memorable for the re
mai-Uablo tariff discussion and for th
fact that it was the most extended &cs
sion in the history ot the government
AT TllK DOOIt.
The territories of the northwest hav
been knocking very gently at the dooi
ot congros- , throughout the session , an
whispering through the key-hole thti
they would like to be admitted as state :
Idaho says that she is ready , that sh
hus a population of more than 100OC ,
people who own taxable property to th
amount of fifty millions of dollars , an
that 400,000 acres of public land hav
been entered during the past yoai
showing the extent to which immigrii
tion has been directed towards a loca
ily attracting little comment.
Wyoming has remarked in a lev
sweet voice that she has populatio
exceeding 80,000 , that her coal field
alone are sure to bo a source of wealt
and of increased population , and tin
her agricultural development iskeopin
pace with her mineral productions.
Montana , perhaps , hangs a littl
back , but then she possesses Iho Yollov
slono National park , and tourisls an
travelers will help to develop her.
As for Washington territory and Di
kola , they are fully grown , and the la
tcr is at this moment more than the pee
of many of the states of the south. Y <
both these communities , powerful i
resources and population , must bog wit
bated breath and bonded knees for tl
admission which is theirs by right <
the American constitution , and fro
which they are debarred by a dom
cratic house.
Even if the house had boon incline
to show a gleam of patriotic feeling , i
a sense of justice , oven if Mr. Spring !
of Illinois had been as true to his dul
ns ho has boon false , It Is to bo fearc
that not ono of these glorious torrltorli
of the northwest , that combine withi
themselves all the conditions of iu
menso populations and continuous pro
pority , would have been admitted i
states so long as Grover Cleveland cou1
sign a vote. Tills president of tli
United States has shown that ho is
creature of Iho south , and that ho roco ;
nlies the right of the south to shape tl
policy of the entire democracy , lie
subservient to n degree that makes tl
uutiou blush ( or Its ruler. The Bouth
dolcriniupd to oppose the admlusion
tGrrltorles of Iho northwest , be
cause as states they would give the
north a marked predominance , and
would presumably bo-republican. Hence
.he anomaly is presented of a territory
iko Dakotit with a population of 050,000
and with Immonsu tiixnblo property.
There Is n way to end this state. 01
Lhings. livery vote cast for the rcpub
.lean party is a stop towards the ndinls <
9lon of those territories , who are one
with Nebraska in local Interests anil
alms. Their exclusion is a national
disgrace.

A penlloinun named Jones , n native
of the state of Kansas , is endeavoring t (
jrecd buffaloes. He has now a herd o
160 head , some of which are half-bred ,
and the remainder three-quarter bred
Mr. .tones is ovideutlj an enthusiast win
views his plan through the roatt
lines of his own imagination rather thai
through the clear eold light of reason
There can be no possible prospect o
| H-olll to his venture , even if ho shouli
be as successful as he hopes. The prob
loin in moat raising has boon solved al
ready with ordinary cattle on the ranges
west of the Missouri river , and in the
states of Nebraska and Kansas es
poclally. The question is purely one ol
economy , the wiiy to raise in the cheap
cat method steers that shall give in pro
portion to their cost the greatest
amount of saleable moat. The tnethcx
that has been found most profitable Is t <
raise the steers upon the ranged am
fatten them upon corn for market a
points contiguous to packing conteis
It is pretty certain that the enormou
crop of corn raised this year in tin
states of Nebraska , Kansas , Iowa am
Missouri will nearly all go into bee
and pork. Clear demonstration of thesi
truths with regard to Kansa
is given by thebeef packini
houses of Kansas City , and tlm
Nebraska occupiesa still more favorabli
position for the raising of cheap bee
than Kansas has been evident to over ;
one for some years past. The establish
inent of a beef packing house in thi
city bj 1'liil Armour was but to talc
advantage of a state of things that al
ready existed.
The man who has the eye of ubutche
has only to look at a buffalo steer to b
convinced that Mr. Jones' idea is mi
sound. The creature is big where i
should be little , and its hindquarters
where the best meat is located , taper ii
the most marked way. The question ci
doinosti'Mtv was a minor one , but Mi
.lones thought it the only one. No om
who knows anything about bulls of an
of the best domestic breeds will asser
that they are thoroughly tamed. Hulls ,
like circus elephants , are alwa.v
dangerous , and must constantly 1)
watched , or they will kill. Alinos
every farmer lias a belief that his ow
bull is faultless , until the orcatur
charges him. Every one is ready to believe
lievo that the attempt to domestical
buffaloes would bo in a measures success
ful if gone into persistently. Hut whcr
is the gain1 ; What the people cry fo
is cheap beef. No one , so far as hoar
from , is hankering for bullalo boo
And the demand for chpap beef ha
been answered gloriously by the farmoi
of this state and by those of the state t
which the enthusiastic dreamer b (
longs.
A MIXNJMOTA M
Ill the river and harbor bill of Mnrcl
1873 , there was a clause providin ;
a grant of twenty-live thousand dollai
for construction of a lock and dam i
the Mississippi at Meekor's Island , prc
vided that all rights to laud grants mad
by congress to parties at different time
for the prosecution if this same wor
should bo fully relinquished to th
United States before any of the apprc
priation should bo expended. The pai
ties holding the land grants have neve
made a satisfactory release and none (
the money has boon spout. Hut if n
leases had been obtained the work cotil
not have boon commenced for thosimpl
reason that the money appropriated wi :
insignitieant for the preliminary tot
basings in the bottom of the river. Th
citi/.ons of St. Paul since the develop
mentof electric lighting have felt vor
desirous that the work should be doiu
for an immense water power would li
obtained which would bo more tha
ample to light both St. Paul an
Minneapolis. The calculation <
the government engineer , wli
made the estimates in 1871 , was that
would cost about a million dollars , t
something short of that amount. And i
everything was very much doarc
in those days than now it is probabl
that the cost would not bo more tha
six hundred thousand dollars.
This sum the municipality of St. Pai
would probably have no objection i
spending for the purpose , but matter
are so muddled that it is dillicultto tak
hold of the work. In 1837 an improve
inent company was formed for the pui
pose , and obtained a land grant an
rights which were never utilized , e >
c'oix , by sale for twelve thousand dollai
to parties in St. Paul in 1SOO. Thos
parties did not obtain satisfactory till
to what they bought , because the orig
mil improvement company's charte
contained various provisos which nog ;
tived their rights if certain work wi
not done. They could only sell th
rights they had. Consequently iiothin
has boon done , and nothing apparent !
will bo done unless the purchasers i
the Improvement company's charter g
to work themselves , build the dam , an
then fight for the land grants in tli
courts of law. All prospect of fcdon
assistance seem at an end , because 01
special grant of land has boon aceopte
by the state of Minnesota on the oxpro' '
condition that it would n.ake those in
provomonts. And in the river and ha
bo i1 bill of 1673 it was expressly stipi
latod that this grant , amounting '
two hundred thousand acres , should I
relinquished , as well as the title '
grants of laud hold by private partio
in the event of their doing-tho worl
The state of Minnesota has very pro
orly declined to relinquish this land i
view of the fact that the nppropriatic
was so small that it could not bo use
So the whole business is tied up.

mated , production of corn in the Unite
States for 1633. la tb.ii list Nobrasli

lundred and forty million bushels ami
anks fourth in the list of the grea

column with a crop of two hundred am

state. Illinois follows a elo- > soconil
with two hundred and thirty-one mil

one hundred and ninety-one millioi

country is estimated at two billion bush

that he was shot dead by an Africa

government prescribe methods of brewing ,
but it lanes especial care that its orders shal
be obeyed. The e-onseciuenco is that beer is
brewed there scientifically , and then con
signed to cool cellars , whore it remains dur

The Council t llecomo n IMnlntlfT in
the New York Iilfn lniinolton |
In the district court jestcrduy Judge
Wakeloy dolivcred his opinion on thu poti
tiou of thu Bee Building coiupanj for an in
junction restraining the New \ork I.ife In
surance company from placing a l > oilor-rouiu
under Seventeenth Hlreot. After reading
from the authorities , the court said it seemed
quite clear th.it the city cannot devote tlm
streets lo private nan in such manner as to
Impair their primary purH | > o for use as pub-
lie highwujs. It is also clear that the city
may grant lo the owners of lots such pi Ivl-
leges incident to the onjo.wncnt of tlmlr
property as do not interfere aiibstantlally
with the public interest In the streets It
has-been n prae-lico of long standing In cities
to allow land owners to build to the
street Hne < s of their lots. In
many cases it is absolutely neccRsar.lo hiixo
the use of the snaco under the sidewalks for
ingress and egress to the basement , and that
privilege- seldom or never denied. Individ
uals maj be permitted to temporarily use the
walks and the streets for Iho deposit of ma
terial needed in the e-onsttuctton of an adja
cent building. That is un incident to the un
joymcnt of in-opei ty , but it may not be per
inaiient. This view has been sanctioned by
the supreme court of Nebraska , and must he
helil to bosuflleient. It seems hard to draw
a distinction as lo excavations under the
sidewalk and under the streut. ThoroHOOIIIS
to bo lltllo philosophical reason for draw
ing an arbitrary line at the curbing and saj
ing. Inside that line the privilege may ba
enjoyed but outside it cannot bo granted
Whether insldo or outside of such u linn
such u privilege must bo enjoyed
subject to Iho public uso. As to whether ,
under the charter , the inspector of buildings
has power to grant such privileges , the court/
read from section 107 of the charter , which
provides for a department of buildings and
delines its duties. The court held that If
this power to grant the use of the streets is
vested In the city it may be delegated to tlm
Inspector. The court said It had found an or
dinance , No lO/.if , that gives thei inxpcctor ex-
Iraordinai y powers. It provides that owners
of buildings may apply to the Inspector and
receive permits for the use of adjoining
streets. That clearly contemplates , said the
court , excavations outside the curb lino.
There is no doubt the city has assumed lU
right to grant such privileges , ami
has delegated its power to the
inspector. That power , If lodged
in the hands of un unprincipled man , islUblo
to great abuse. H is u most extraordinary
discretion for the city to lodgu with liny 0110
person , no matter how much confidence mny
be felt in that person's Judgment and Integ
rity. The least the city can do is to deflnq
limitations for its exorcise. Iu the iiuiUor of
the lireordinanco it laid down the ruies In
detail , and the only power the inspector has
is to see that those rules are observed
The court said it would not undertake at
the present to announce a definite or final
conclusion as to whether power exists in thu
charter to grant the privileges under consid
eration. But , assuming that the inspector
has no such power , is the plaintlfT privileged
to make the complaint ! The excavation
may bo complained of us a
public or n private nuisance. It
may bo complained of as u publio nulsuncn
by a citzpii. It may bo complained of as a prl
vato uuisanco by any one injuriously utTocled
by it. There Is no ease stated In its petitioner
or its argument to entitle the plaintiff to souk
the injunction. It is not alleged that the
boilers will endanger Tun Ben building , nor
are there other allegations of n private nuls
anco. It is not alleged that there will bo
smoke , or noise , or offensive odor , or any
other condition constituting a public ] mils
unco. Whatever may be the rights of the
party making the excavation , the plaintiff
lias not the right to rnjoln.
It is shown that the council , assuming that
the inspector had the right to grant the per
mil , by resolution asked him to ruvoku
it. If any party had the right to
complain the city , ns a corporation ,
has pro-eminently that right. It hua put
itself on record ns opposed to the excavation ,
and it Is a necessary and proper party to this
action. The court announced that it would
muko no journal entry at present , but would
continue the case with a view to allowing
the city to become a party to Iho litigation
If it do not take the position of complainant ,
it may , at the instance of thu plaintiff , Lnj
made a party to the defense. On application
of the insurance company the bond was increased -
creased to (1,0(10 ( , and the temporary Injunc
