But Air Murchison continues to breath the balmy air of sunny California , IT is significant that business men o high standing are willing to servo fo : cotincilmen. The only question ii whether they can bo nominated at tin primaries. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Mil. BKOIUCI , announces himself as : candidate for re-olootion. It is for tin republicans Of the .Fourth ward to saj at the primary , which occurs betwcci : noon and 7 p. m. to-morrow , whothei they desire Mr. Beohcl to ropreaent them for another term. ENGLAND has ordered the construe lion of eight more ships like the Ad uiiral Benbow. It is rough upoli tin taxpayers , and it will not prevent tin battle of Dorking from being fought ai BOOH as the Germans have seized Hoi land and Luxembourg. EVKHY taxpayer should arouse him self suflleiently to attend the primary elections. If the decent and respecta ble element remains indifferent , tin roustabouts will carry the day , and we will have another year of turmoil and boodling in the council. PAIITIES who intend to vote at tin nrimary elections should bear in mint that under the law any voter tnaj bo challenged and compelled uiulei oath to testify as to his right to vote at tin ) respective voting places. The law punishes fraudulent voting a.t the pri maries just the same as it does at a gen crai election. GovEiixoii LAHKAIIEIC of Iowa does not propose to allow federal officers wlu are evicting the unfortunate settlers or the Dos Moincs river land company' : lands to overstep the bounds of thcii authority. The governor has instructed the county attorney to satisfy himself in every instance of eviction that none but legal measures are resorted to by the United States marshal and his dep uties. Governor Larrabeo has properly vliowu a regard to protect those got- tiers. His instructions will have a sal utary effect in restraining the federal olllcors from harsh and illegal actions , mid the pooploof Iowa will not forgot their governor in consequence. TUB eastern trunk lines now despor- ntoly cutting each others throats are Bald to bo preparing a petition to con- press to amend the inter-state law so as ( o allow pooling. . But if such a peti tion be sent to the house congress will lie gently reminded that the law against poo'ing ' was passed for the protection of the people and not for the protection of CMIO railroad against another. Rate wars , liowovor , were as common in the days of pooling as at present. Tlio truth of the matter is , that autocratic and am bitious managers are to blaine for the unsettled state of the transportation question. So long as stockholders play blindly into the hands of their directors they have nobody but themselves u blaine if dividends are cut down und things go to tunash. Tine Sioux Indian commission will in nil probability advocate radical meas ures in its forthcoming report to the in terior department touching on the open ing of the reservations in Dakota. The report will recommend that a law be passed fixing ttio price of the land so as to conform \rith the propositions o ( the Indians themselves , This would re move all excuse for delaying the nogo- tiatlons on the part of the Indians , But the more radical changes proposed are -tho immediate removal of all squaw man from the reservations ; and the purpose of making the Indian more self sustain ing and hold strictly accountable for his actions. Thd plan of coddling and humoring the Indian has made u spoiled child of him. It IB certainly high time that the Indian was nmdo to fool that tlioro is moro responsibility in lifo than living on the bounty of an indulgent guvornmuut. A The Northern Pacific railroad hai now a victory , in the opinion just sub mtttod by the attorney general of tin United Slates regarding the claim lo i second indemnity bolt , which amount ! to a very serious defeat for hundreds o settlers wlio will now bo at the merci of that corporation. When last yeai tlio secretary of the interior promul gated his decision regarding the with' drnwal of indemnity lauds , the North ern Pacific presented its claim to t second indemnity belt , under the join i resolution of May , 1830 , and also urge ( iU right to take Indemnity in one stall or territory for the los-tes of lands in nnotlior. The acting secro' tary of Iho treasury decldot adversely to both these asjiunp lions , and the opinion being contrar ; to the previous conslructlon of the join resolution and Iho granting act , the corporation asked a rehearing. Tlio then secretary of the interior , Lmnnr toolc the mailer under advisoinont , but us ho was soon after to leave the depart ment ho submitted to the attorney gen eral the questions involved. The opinion of that ollloiul was sub mitted last Saturday , having been with held slnco last January at the request of Secretary Vllas , for what roasot : may bo surmised. It goes the ful' length in favor of the corporation , holding that the joint resolution of May , 1880 , did create n second indemnity bell in Minnesota , and that it is the right of the Northern Pacific to take in demnity in one state or territory for tin losses of lands hi another. It is ntcvita bio , if Ihis opinion becomes the basis o action by Iho doparlmont , that the rcsull must bo more or less hardship'to a groal many settlers who took ad vantage of the department's decision last year respect ing withdrawn indemnity lands , anil who may bo dispossessed of their landsoi mercilessly mulcted by the railroad If the opinion of the attorney general b < correct , and it is understood to conform to previous construction , then a most grave error was committed by Ihe in terior department which , in the intorcsl of public justice the government should rectify , so far as that can bo done. The innocent settlers who' occupy the landi which the railroad will have the right to claim , having taken them up with the full warrant of the government , will bo entitled to redress , but unfortu nately there is slight chiinco of their getting it , if past experience in such matters shall bo repeated. Is there not an obvious suggestion of political juggling in this whole busi ness , in Utter disregard of the interests of the people ? It is said that when Laumr took the matter for a re-hearing he was inclined to favor the construc tion that had prevailed for several years , and is now renewed , but at that time tlio administration was playing the public land question for polit- tical effect , and Mr. Lamar found it convenient , on the ground that ho was soon to retire from Iho interior depart ment , to refer the matter to the attor ney general. That ofllcial had his opinion ready by the middle of last January , but at the request of the present secretary of the interior it wa withhold until now , ovidenltv because it was felt that it would bo damaging to the party in power. Meanwhile the lands which it surrendered to the rail road were being taken up by settlers , who , confiding in the assurance of a de partment of the government , paid no attention to the notices of the corpora tion that they were invaders of ter ritory sot apart to bo claimed at the pleasure of the corporation. How much of hardship and loss would have been saved to honest men , acting upon their faith in the wisdom and justice of their government , had Mr. Lamar promptly announced his opinion or Mr , Vilas promulgated that of the attorney general as soon as it was ready. It will bo well when such political jugglers Imvo no longer the opportunity to be tray public confidence. WAKED UP ' 1'IIE WnONO MEDIUM. General Experience , Estabrook has sneaked into print over the fictitious name of "Voritas" to vent his spleen upon mo personally because I have opposed the location of the city halt on JelTorson square. In his caustic diatribe , ho repeats the infamous slan der which border rulllan Hnbe-all uttered in the council chamber the other night , namely , that I "stole five feet of ground from the city , " and suggests that the council had better make mo u deed of ( ho stolen ground. Now , I defy the old reprobate to the proof thai 1 or any association in which I am interested have taken pobsos- ston of one inch of property belonging to the city or anybody else. It is notorious that the city council , under HuscaU's vindictive inspiration , refused to allow the foundation footings ol TUB BKK building to cross the line of the city hall lot eight .inches , which under common usage is allowable for party walls , oven when I offered the city the free use'of our west wall. It is notorious also that Building Inspector specter Whillock refused to allow us the privilege of constructing an area of three feet around the alley windows of the basement in TIIK BKK building , while ho granted iv permit to the Now York Life Insurance company to use Bixty-olght by fourty-four foot of Seven teenth street for a power house , General Estubrook is too intelligent not to know that Hascall's charge is a downright falsehood ; hence his repeti tion of the libel is utterly inexcusable. Ho knows , as everybody in this com munity knows , that every inch of prop erty I own has been paid for , by the proceeds of twenty-flvo years' toll and industry. How l9lt\vith"Vorlta9V" Ho equalled himself upon a whole block opposite JulToroou squuro without paying u dollar lar for it , and held on lo it with his two or throe shanties for twenty odd years , to make his title good , Ho was top shiftless and thriftless to fence it or build a side walk in front ot it , and too moan lo share tlio burden of taxation with other property owners and citizens , After shirking his taxes for twenty odd years , when other people had built up Sixteenth street and made , his property valuable , his son-iu-law dually paid $14,000 back taxes , removed the bawdy houses 'that the virtuous "Vorltna" had planted there , and bull the throe-story flnl thai adorns it. An now this lazy old blatherskite tries t deride mo before the community an says thai "Rosy's coat-tails are too noti the ground lo bo a successful lender c the ixsople , " and further adds thnt "hi slanderous sheet has lost its inlluonc amongst respectable people In this city. I concede that I do not throw as big shadow as Old Jumbo Eslabrook , but Ihlnk I have done almost as much fo Omaha as he has with his throe hundred rod pounds of walrus blubber. As t TIIK BUR'S influence on rcspcctnblo an decent people , Llotas' Experience la nc in condition to express n woll-foundc opinion. It Is hardly necessary for mo to nd thnt Estabrook's assertion that I hav. . been up in the northern end of the Flftl ward lo pick out a man for Iho council and that I have threatened to dofca any candidate who refuses to do my bid ding , is as base a llo as is his chargi about my stealing five foot of the ell , hall ground. All I have done is lo re call the rotten record of Joe Redman the orgies of Chcenoy and the sul sorviency to the Union Pacific of Ton Daily. For lliatoffon.se tax-paying cili /.ens ot the Fifth ward will hardly ecu sure mo. E. UOSUWATKII. THE DOUGLAS COUffTV COXTES1 A free ballot and nn honest count i one of the cardinal principles for whicl the republican party has always bee contending. That there have bee frauds perpetrated in the recent Doilg las county election goes without saying The only question is whether an hives tigation into thcso illegal methods wil show beyond a reasonable doubt tha the half u do/.cn members c the legislature from this count to whom certilicnles have been issuei have not received a plurality of th votes cast by the legal voters. The burden of Jho proof necessaril rests upon the contestants. Ordinarily contests are not considered ndvisabli unless the vote is very close , or u mis count involving the plurality is known t have taken place. Whore the pluralit exceeds several hundred votes the con test presents serious complications. In justice to all parties concerned 5 is well to await the revelations to b made when the testimony is take and the ballot boxes have been purged c any excess of votes and the mistakes c the canvassers have been rectified by recount before the notary two week hence. HONEST OLD JIM. Jim Creighton nearly dislocated hii jaw at the council chamber in his abusive ivo harangue about Roscwater. II was specially resentful because ho ha been dubbed Rotten Pavement Jim Isn't that uamo appropriate ? Does no everybody know that ho has had more to do with foisting wooden pavcmen upon Omaha than any other man ! Isn't the rotten pavement o upper Farnam his own work ?

He will bo remembered by tin tax-payers ho has imposed on yean after ho hits passed away , just as ho ii remembered by the old settlers for tha' ' one-logged wooden bridge ho bull across Thirteenth street creek years ago when ho was a member of the council. ftis the Chinese government hni as yet given no expression to its senti ments regarding the course pursued bj the government of the United States in excluding its people from this country , there is a quiet but very effective pol icy of commercial retaliation being car ried on by Chinese merchants. Ameri can merchants who have recently re turned to Now York from Chinese ports state that it is impossible to sell American goods in any instance ir which European fabrics can bo used. Heretofore quite largo amounts of American clocks , machines , heavy cot ton goods , sheetings and the like have found a market in China , bul they are no longer taken. The Chinese merchants oiler no explana tion they simply decline to buy , American merchants can have their tea for corn , but they buy their toxtilcs and machines where they claim they can be holler suited. There can bo no dilll- culty in understanding why they are belter suited. The trade that is thus slipping away from us had become quite oxlonslvo and was a source of good profit. In time it could' have boon largely increased , but it is now more than prdoablo that it will all go to oui commercial rivals , who are ready to olTor every inducement for it. It is not upon this plan that sagacious business nations advance their prosperity. IN a very short time the people ol Omaha may expect tosoothotwospocial cars filled up by the California blnle board of trade for Iho display of. Cali fornia productions.

But it is much lo bo desired that > vo could obtain Culifoniiun fruit and Ish , halibut and smelts and palmon nid ) mrdincs from Pugct Sound at first hand nstead of getting them from Chicago lenlors as at present. Wo are anxious .o buy fi'oin California but we don't mnlvcr to go there and pay $500 an acre 'or ' land , IT is the duty of every citizen , vhothcr ho bo republican or democrat , o attend his respective primary. Ho ihould see to it that only reputable and rustworlhy men reoolvo the nomina- ion of his , ward , This oughl to bo no die appeal , The welfare , the prosperity , the future greatness ot Omaha hang I the balance.

A convention of cattle men and a commit tee of United States senators are trying ti discover at St. Louis why it is that in tin last few years the prices for cattle have bcei declining , while at the same time the cost ol dressed boot to consumers has been incrcas ing. Nobody cares especially whether St Louis or Chicago is the beef center of th < nation , or whether Chicago stole away f ron St. Louis the butchering supremacy , but it is a matter of considerable importance to know whether the concentration of the dressed beef business at Chicago and the anomaly ol low-priced cattle and high-priced beef is du < to a ring of four or live linns , as is. charged , that has been built up by means of diserimi nating railroad advantages and other unlaw ful practices. It is certain that the natura laws of competition do not rule in this busl ness , and that the people Imvo not been get ting tlio advantages accruing from declining prices of cattle.

The neetlng was railed to order bi' Charley kVehrer , and Arthur Brlggs was chosen hairman with ] ? , II. Woodbridgo secretary. L'au meeting was opened by Ed. Lccdor , one if the aspirants for the nomination , Ho itatcd that he did not favor the Kystuin of : aucussing on n candidate , but , on the con- rary , favored the nomination coining direct rom the people at the primaries. Hu ro- lewcil the situation , alter which ho retired roui thoiojm , stating that ho did not pro- lose to participate In the deliberations of the : uucii9 , put would bo a candidate at the prl- nnrles. J. S. Cooley took the floor , ami after lilating to a considerable tjxtont nominated .like . Maul , but ho was summarily squelched iy the chair ruling the matter of making laminations at that time out of order. C. J. ileiitor than took the lloor and stated that 10 was authorised to Rtato that Mike Maul k'ould not accept the nomination. After ills- usslng the points of the campaign Mr. Man or moved that the mealing ; on account of ho small number present , adjourn without ction , Ho also stated that the mason for laul not coming out wan that ono your ouco ho would ba a candidate for ghorirf on i the republican ticket.

The republic-un of the First ward hn tnailo arrangement * to hold a c.iilcus mcol Ing nt Sixth ami Pacific strcc-U. When Hi rc peclnblo portion ot Iho cillzeiis nrrlve they found thai lu the saloon under tlio hai where the meeting was to take place wer nbout a hundred or more men gathered froi nil over the city and part of Iowa. It wn soon seen that the disciple * of I. S , Hasea were in full force and that It would be In possible to transact any business unless th cat's ' paw of Hascall , Pcto Bolson , wn nominated. The consequence w. s that th legitimate republican * of the ward retire ono by one , leaving Mr. Pete Bolso and his friends in full pos < tcMion ot Ih saloon , After several rounds of bet n person giving the uamo ot Frank We ; mounted n clmlr and said i "I place in nnn inatlon Polo Bolson ns the republican cam ! date for councilman in the First ward. Ihu rnh for Pete ! Pete is n good man. Thro cltoors for Pete , It is moil unfortunate , 111.1 friends , that Judge Hascall is not here , bu ho has been detained elsewhere on urgon business. " C. F. Austin seconded Mr. Fran West's effort ntnlilst considerable contusion The gentleman put in nomination I n carpenter. Mr. Frank West boin nsked his business , asserted tlmt h was n capitalist with more money than h could spend , and Mr. Austin says ho is traveling man. The boys then settled dow to imblbo the contents of a keg of boor. Mr. James Matheson appears to bo the oat dldata whom the majority of respectable clt ? cns ot this ward ure inclined lo support fc councilman. Sixth Ward. . The republicans ot Iho Sixth ward hnd lively caucus nt the corner of Luke nn Twenty-sixth streets last evening. It was representative gathering and the absence c the friends of Councilman Manvlllo wn noticeable. His name was mentioned in tli Interlude , but , like angels' visits , the "mei lions" were few aim fur between. Williai Morrow , chairman of the wurd committee culled the meeting to order , and on his me lion J. C. Whnrton was made chairman W. A. Grant was chosen secretary. A Informal ballot was then agreed upon fo candidate for alderman , to be voted ou at tc day's primaries. The result was as follows W. Q. Shrlver ] u O. C. Johnson id A. S. Ostrom , 5 Isaac Card The latter two withdrew , which left th contest between Shrivcr und Johnson , th vote being 145 to 108 in favor of the former On motion of Iho defeated gentleman th nomination of Mr. Shrivcr was made unanl mous. Tha candidate chosen by the caucu is a real estate , man who hus residei in Omaha for seven years und is very wel known. His friends say thnt he will no only defeat the present incumbent out o time , should ho attempt to run , but any dem ocrat that can bo put against him. After th caucus choice speeches were in order , tun Mr. Shrivor seemed especially pointed In hi remarks relative to prohibition , saying tha ho never was and never would bo a prohibl tionlst. Evidently the Sixth is up and it arms. Primary Law. Section 20 , of the laws of Nebraska rcgu luting primary elections , reads as follows : To regulate the holding of primary clee lions , at which no person shall be permittee to vote , except such person be an elector 01 the city , and affiliated with the political parti holding such primary election at the last geii' ' oral election ; that judges at such primary elections shall be sworn , and may administer oaths , and that any person violating the reg' illations so established or who being disquali fied shall vote at such primary election ; 01 who shall aid , counsel or abet any disquali fied person m voting thereat may bo lined in any sum not exceeding $100 nor less than $ 2C and shall stand committed till such fine and costs are paid , anil shah bo disqualified tc vote nt any city or pri'uary ' election for the period of one year thereafter.

A very large and highly appreciative audl- : nco welcomed the Carleton opera company it Boyd's opera house last night , and re vived with the Heartiest manifestations of ileasuro the Irst production in Omaha of ' 'Mynheer Jan , " a comiu opera that well dc- icrvcs the popularity it has achieved , The n-gument of this work 1ms already been jivon in our columns , so that it ouly re- nains to bo said ot it that it is a production > f exceptional merit in dramatic construction md of a highly pleasing character musi- . ally. H has the rare merit of never bccorn- ng in the least degree tndiouh or tiresome , 10 rapid is the action , while it is crowded , vith Incidents of the most humorous and en- : ertuining character. His also particularly ittractivo to the eye with its picturesque cos- , umos , of which it can bo said that most of .hem were appropriate. A strong ballot of nero than ordinarily good-looking girls is u imminent feature. The music is spirited md tuneful , several of the solos being very irutty , and , whut cannot bo said of ull pro- luetions of this character , none of it suggests ilugiurism. The rendition of the opera was n the proverbially thorough and ex- sellout manner of the Carleton company , ex- sept thnt several of the singers gave un- loubted evidence tlmt their voices were im- mired by folds. Nevertheless there was ittlo cause for unfavorable criticism , Mr. 3nrleton's ' Knrl was well sung und nctnd , md made un entirely favorable impression , Phc audience showed especial favor to Mr , lay C. Taylor , who sang the part of Francis .linosl faultlessly , showing u voice which , vhon in perfect condition is doubtless eap.i- lie of admirable execution. Mr..I , 1C. Mur- ay us General Bombalo was very much out 't ' volro but acted the part with line effect. ) no of the very best operatic- comedians on ho stugo is Mr , Charles H. Drew , whoso lioroiiglmess is the result of u lifetime of xperience , nnd who is funny from tempera- lent. Ho hnd n part admirably suited to ini in Huns , the buffoon nf the Daisy Guild , nd of the honors of success ho enjoyed his nil share. Miss Clara Lane is a very harming little woman , with a sweet so- rano voice of good range anil pleasant even- oss , which she manages with consummate iclll. Her Katrine was in ull respects do- ghtful. Mis * Alice Vincent was the Ca- iilla and looked exceedingly attractive , hut er singing showed thefbllliction already re. irrcil to as quite general with the company , ut which a Jay's rest will doubtless en- rely remove. The Donna Trnlara of Miss lara Wisdom wus an imposing ilguro nnd njoyed much of the attention as well as ) litrib'Jtlng to the pleasure of the audience. . feature not to bo overlooked for favorable icntion were the evolutions of the ballot , Im orchcbtra was well handled , offering Ltlo occasion for criticism.
