that under the law any voter tnaj

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.

Bald to bo preparing a petition to con-

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

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

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

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

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.

Tue Question at Issue.
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. A little more light Is calloc
for on this subject.

Third Word.
The republicans of the Third ward , lo the

: hamher last night for the purpose of noin-
nating a candidate for councilman lo bo
rated upon ut the primaries to-day. 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

rary , favored the nomination coining direct
rom the people at the primaries. Hu ro-

laminations at that time out of order. C. J.
ileiitor than took the lloor and stated that

k'ould not accept the nomination. After ills-
usslng the points of the campaign Mr. Man
or moved that the mealing ; on account of

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.

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

: 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.

icntion were the evolutions of the ballot ,
