Tun legislature luts spokou the lob- byifats must go. Tun council proceeds on the oven toner of its way as serene and culm as onoof our days fn January. Tim sentiment in the business portion tion of the city is universally in favor of the city hall boinjr built on its pres ent location. IT may become necessary for Mr. Cleveland as well as for Mr. Harrison to construct a cabinet before the 4th of Marcli if rumor speaks the truth. No\V that their high-handed lawless ness has boon exposed , the literary bureau of the JolTorson square boomora are mailing out a few of their illus trated pamphlets with stamped wrap pers. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ AND now the Electric Motor company comes forward with a proposition to erect its iron poles up the center of streets between the double line of tracks. Why not ask the council to vacate the streets entirely for the ben efit of the motor lines ? THIS United States senate ia deeply nbsorbod over the proposition whether to substitute the term "ambassador" for that of "minister" in donominatinfr our representatives abroad to the load ing European courts. The- difference between tweedledum and twoodlodoc may after all cause an extra session. Tun government won a legal victory over the California timber thieves who out timber to the value of two million dollars from government lands. But as the jury returned a verdict for only forty thousand dollars , it looks as if California jurymen know on which side of their broad the sugar was soroad. DENVEII has made an appeal to the city authorities to locate four or five parks near the densely populated part of the city , which should bo within reach of persons who have not the means to take their families to places of recreation in the suburbs. The people ol Denver , it is safe to say , would pretest - test as one man if that city possosso.d a breathing place , and its usurpation was attempted for other purposes by design ing individuals , as is the ease in Omaha. THIS Nebraska legislature does not Etand alone in its attempt to regulate the price of sleeping car accommoda tions. The legislature of Wisconsin has boon stirred up to similar action. Hut it is one thing to introduce such measures and it is another thing to en force thorn. The traveling puolic , however , appreciates any action which would result in cutting down the Pull man dividends now quoted among the best paying stock in the market. Tim people of the state will await with considerable interest the investi gation of the "committee of farmers" of the legislatureappointed to look into the management of the experimental farm. The board of regents claims that "the diffusion of knowledge has boon per formed with greater vigor and olllcloncy by the agricultural college than ever before , and that original research at the experimental station has boon prose cuted with earnestness and success. Broad statements' these. The legisla ture , however , thinks differently , and ATS 11 proceed with the investigation. ' THIS conference committee which has jhad the proposed amendments to the inter-state commerce law under consid eration is not likely to recommend any radical changes to congress. It has jDvldontly coiho under the influence of Chairman Cooley , of the intor-stato pommlssion , who has repeatedly do- idarod that it would bo unreasonable .and impracticable to establish an arbi trary uniform freight classification and tariff for the country. While this may look as a concession to the railroads , 1t must bo confessed that it is not vlthin the power of any two or a dozen men to establish suoh a classification jrtud rate for the whole country ns would bo equitable to the people and the rail roads. It is the business of the rail roads , by their voluntary efforts , to .bring about an understanding of this nature as rapidly as the circumstances demand it. STATES ins If Senator Sherman is not going into the cabinet of General Harrison as sec retary of state , his anxiety to publicly state his position on the Sainoan issue , so that it might bo mndo a matter of record , is hard to understand. The senate discussed this matter on Tuesday in executive session , and when the doors wore reopened Senator Sherman explained at length hH views of the munition and of the duty of the govern ment. Itwnq a most unusual proceed ing , notwithstanding the fact that the senator had sought to have the question publicly discussed , and naturally suggest" ) the query as to why the Ohio senator should nloi.o show such unwonted solicitude to have his views given publicity if ho is to have nothing more to do with the set tlement of this controversy than other senators. It has not been his habit to thus conspicuously thrust himself upon public attention , and this is the first occasion in his senatorial career when ho found a statcmout of his nttltudo on any subject , made in executive session , unsatisfactory to him. It was certainly n very suggestive proceeding. In the exceptional circumstances the views of Senator Sherman nro of peculiar i'ntcrost. Ho did not think it necessary for the United States to motricM nuy one , but simply to pursue a straight-forward and manly course. Our first duty is to assert and maintain our right to a coal ing station , and ho did not believe our right to do this would bo questioned. Our next duty would bo to employ our good offices to nettle the dillloulties of the people of Samoa , as wo are under promise to do. Ho was in favor of a firm assertion of the rights of the United States , but ho did not believe that to do this would necessitate war. Ho characterized the dilllculty as a "small controversy , " the solution of which ought to be promptly reached. The senator declared that it would bo "a shame and a disgrace to our civiliza tion and Christianity if wo could not agree upon some mode of government for those islands. " The speech showed not that only that Senator Sherman had fully informed himself regarding the entire history of the Sainoan question , but that ho took an extraordinary inter est in it. The circumstance is certainly most suggestive , and a reasonable ex planation of it is. that Mr. Sherman ex pects to have more to do with the settle ment of the Sainoan issue than fulls to the duties of a senator. It is said there are now about four hundred nominations awaiting action by the United States souato. It is also said that there is an informal agree ment between the republican senators as to the course they will pursue in re gard to nominations now pending , and which may bo made between now and the 4th of March. Nominations to fill vacancies caused by death or expiration of commissions will bo confirmed , if there is not a very strong tight again st the appointees , but in the case of offi cials whoso terms will have expired after Harrison's inauguration , and whoso resignations at this time there is reason to presume wore tendered seas as to enable their successors to serve a full term , the nominations will not bo confirmed. One result of a caucus of the democratic senators on Tues day is understood tohavoboonanagreo.- mont to compel the republicans to do- flno their position on this matter and state whether or not they intended to confirm President Cleveland's appoin tees. tees.Thoro There does not appear to bo any sound reason why the republican major ity in the senate should prevent the out going president from freely foist ing his political friends upon the public service in the last days of his administration , and a refusal - fusal to do so cannot justly bo regarded as an unfair exhibition of partisan ism. In cases whore to allow vacancies to continue would impair the efficiency of the service the senate would certainly not bo justified in withholding confirm ation , but in all others the justice and expediency of leaving the places to bo Oiled by the next administration can not bo fairly questioned. It is not doubted that wore the majority in the bonato to show a willingness to act promptly and favorably upon nomina tions the number would rapidly in crease. It is a very simple matter to create vacancies in the public borvico , and there is still a considerable number of repub licans occupying positions whoso "resignations" could bo secured if the administration was assured of being able to put democrats in their places. The republican senators are not blame worthy if they refuse to encourage any thing of this sort. The party that was successful in the national election , and which will have the responsibility of administering the government for four years , lias an undoubted right to hold such offices us without detriment to the public service it may hold to bo here after filled by men in sympathy with its policy and purposes. This is simply political prudence , and the republican senators will have the approval of their party in observing it. A WORD TO WORKWOMEN. Workingmen who are interested in getting steady employment during the coming business season should not allow themselves to bo duped into voting for the Jefferson square proposition next Tuesday. In the first place there is no prospect that Jim Crcighton , Tom Swift , Joe Redman , or any of the pur lieu who own lots adjacent to the square will oroot any buildings worth speaking of or looking at. They will probably hold their lots for speculation , as they have done heretofore. And there is no pros pect that parties would erect any great and costly building within three blocks of the Union Pacific ? shops , and within two blocks of the lumber yards. Dut the chances are ton to one thut the attempt to change the location of the city hall from Farnani will be fol lowed by law suits and injunctions tfiat will prevent the eroctiou of any pity hall for five years to come. The ablest lawyers in Omaha agree that JolTorson square cannot bo u&ed-for a jwbllo building became itm dodl- catcd to the public for a park and has been used for a park more than twenty years. On the other hand , if the at tempt to relocate the city hall is voted down work on the building will bo begun within ninety days , and when that work has he- gun half a dozen great blocks will bo commenced In that neighbor hood on Harney. Douglas and Fnrntun streets in the coming spring. It Is notorious that eastern capitalists and citizens of Omaha , who had their plans all made for constructing largo and costly blocks of buildings in the neighborhood of the court house last year wore discouraged by the fight in the council over the city hall , and abandoned their enterprises altogether , thus depriving hundreds of working men of steady employment all this winter. The projected million dollar hotel was fairly under wny last spring , and sixty-live thousand dollars of a bonus hr.d already been subscribed , when tne light on the city hall knocked the project in the head , because eastern capitalists wore not disposed to risk sev eral hundred thousand dollars so long as there was any uncertainty about the public buildings which are to form the center of the Omaha of the future. These are stubborn facts which work- ingnion should ponder over. I.AMR HXP When public attention was called to the mailing out of thousands of un stamped and umuldrosaod JolTorson square pamphlets from the Omaha postolllco , and the delivery of other thousands by postal carriers in defiance of law , wo wore told through Mr. Furay that ton dollars had been paid to the postmaster for this service. Now the acting postmaster , Mr. James Crelgh- ton. tolls us that they have paid ono hundred and ten dollars for this service in lump. Taking Mr. Croighton's word for it , the question is was this money paid before or after the exposure of the fraud. If it was paid before the pamphlets wore mailed , what law can Postmaster Croighton cite that would authorize the mailing out of pamphlets in the lump and the delivery of unnddrcssod pamphlets through post- office boxes and letter carriers ? Wo were told , of course , by the superin tendent of the carrier delivery that consent was secured to deliver these pamphlets to particular persons by the senders. Who wore the senders , and how did the superintendent discover that the pamphlets wore , being ad dressed to the wrong parties when there wore no names written on the pamph lets or wrappers ? Could auy merchant or business man have pamphlets dis tributed by letter carriers by simply loavingsevoral hundred names on a slip ? Has any business man or firm ever boon allowed to pay postage in the lump on advertising circulars or pamphlets ? Have any such pamphlets ever boon distributed promiscuously in the lock- boxes of the postoflloo Is not the whole transaction on its face a breach of the United States postal laws and a violation of the regu lations that govern the mail service V The explanation of Postmaster Croigh ton is a dead give-away , and only shows to what measures the mon who are raiding the property owners of Fnrnum street will resort to gain their object. THIS very plain talk recently of the chairman of the intor-stato commerce commission regarding the railroad pres idents does not appear to have had the wholesome effect upon those officials generally that might have boon hoped for. Some of thorn continue to act like "a pack of school boys" in their' obsti nacy and unwillingness to agree to any thing , while others manifest a distrust of each other and a want-of faith to set tle the difficulties of the existing situa tion which do not tend to increase pub lic confidence in them. If the agreement now sought to bo ef fected shall finally bo consu- muted , of which there is seine uncer tainty , there is not much reason to ex pect that it will have a prolonged ex istence. It is apparent that some of these who have already acquiesced in the arrangement are not heartily in favor of it. They are disposed to try the experiment , but the mom'ont they should find that it did not operate ad vantageously to their interests they would not hesitate to break it. Mean time some good is being done. Rail road btockhoUlers are being aroused to inquiry which can hardly fail to load to action , and the national commission is being urirod by circumstances to a stonier performance of its duty in enforcing - forcing the law. There is favorable promise that this fact will bo forcibly impressed upon railroad managers within a short time if they shall fail to agree among themselves to respect the law and abandon practices which con travene both its letter and spirit , TiiKbill before congress to require the railroads to carry the mails at the compensation fixed by law is a necessary measure that should bo passed without delay. At present the postal service of the country is practically at the mercy of the railroads. If a railroad company should refuse to make a contract with the postolllco department for transport ing the mails the department has no alternative but to have them carried by pony express. This great service , so vital to the interests and wel fare of the people , should not bo permitted to con tin no in this hazardous position any longer. Under present conditions a combination of railroads could utterly paralyze the mail service of tlio1 country , and while no such danger may bo at all probable , it is the part of sound public policy to nuiko it impossibly. The postmaster general shows that there is unquestion able authority in congress to enact the required legislation , and forcible points out the necessity there is for it. In a multor of such very great concern to the whole people the power of the gov ernment should bo clearly and fully do- llned and the service amply protected against the caprice of a currier. it might have boon expected that the Gentile population of Utah would protest against the admission of that territory for obvious reasons , it generally represented that the people of Now Mexico wore a unit for statehood. The appeals made by llspro- ssnlntlvo Joseph before congress would boar out this inference. Hut it appears that the bettor classes of that territory by no moans are anxious for statehood. A memorial from residents of Now Mexico has just been presented to the senate. The petition avers that Now Mexico from the linturo of its Spanish population is at present wholly unfitted to assume the responsibilities of state hood. If Iho territory wore admitted it would at once become the prey of un scrupulous politicians to the peril of the business and properly interests of Now Mexico. No doubt this counter move ment by the reputable psoplo of the tcr- tory will materially lessen Now Mexico's chances for admission. And there can bo no question that the welfare of Now Mexico can host bo served for a time at least under the fostering care of con- gross. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ MONTANA'S vast output of mineral wealth , placing her nt the head of the mineral producing states , coupled with her extensive stock ranges and large tracts of agricultural lauds , have made that territory an inviting field for the investment of capital. It is expected that railroad building , which has boon somewhat ncglectod in Montana , will bo active this year. With such un usually blight prospects before her , there is great hope in Montana that in dustries will bo materially advanced and population , estimated at ono hun dred and forty thousand , will bo sonsl- bly increased. IT is a sufo rule to follow that no grad ing ordinance bo passed until the levy for the present year bo made. Not Impossible. Atlanta Constitution.

Just at the present time the Issue occupy ing the attention of the freight agoats of Omaha Is concerning the differential that ex ists on grain shipped to St. Louis and Chi cago. As has been stated , the difference in the rates on this commodity Is 5 cents per hundred from Nebraska points in favor of St. Louis , thereby making the latter place the market for the Nebraska shipper and producer. Grain merchants state thut the market in St. Louis at all times ranges higher by 1 } to 3 cents per bushel on all grains of the same crude on the Chicago mar ket. In advancing an opinion In defense of the r cents differential , n well-known traulc manager said : "This howl vas llrst inaUu by the Chicago elevator men jind grain mer chants of thut point. The fuel is thut Chicago cage hns about lost her grip ns n receiving and disbursing point. All along tha mon of thufc city have had the host of every transaction becausd Chicago was so located that no slnglu road dnro discriminate against it without sufforlng'n ' material loss In freight Rhlpmont. Hut for the Chicago & Alton Kansas City and St. Louis would not have the position In commercial circles that they now hold to-day , A's''l said before , if the Chicago merchants do not get the cream of every transaction there is a general howl of discrimination sent forth , nni ] , until a short time ago , they wore successful In bringing mutters to suit their own terms. Hut Chicago cage has lost Its luyurngo in the railway circle and It Is nowhi Its decline. The cen tralization of traulc Is destined to points westward , and ns tlip territory west of the Missouri river Is opoiiod up to railway trafllo so will the trntllo copters grow. Mark what I say , thut from' this on Omahu and Kansas City will' ' bo the contested points In the ' 'holding of freight and not Chicago. Just to givu you n clear explanation of how Chicago has lost its grip , turn to the Issue that was recently mndo on live stock ttnd packing liouso products. Show mo one Instance In the records before wherein Chicago has mndo a demand like this that has not been adjudi cated to Its satisfaction. I tell you the tide In the currents of trafllo has been changed. Dut as regards the dlforcutlal on grain , It should bo maintained In the Interest nf the Nebraska fanner ulono. In St. Louis grain graded ns No. 3 , is graded No. 3 In Chicago by the elevator men of that place , and on all grain the St. Louis market grades ono gradti higher than that of Chicago , l-'or this rea son a better price Is afforded at St. Louis. You might draw the conclusion from this that the Chicago merchant was more partic ular fn bringing grain to grade , but not so. it Is only the system of swindling tha western snipper , a system that bus grown old In the service ot the. Chicago grain mer chant. Now as to the proposed reduction in the diferentiul by the Union Pndflc you can sea that that road Is abetting the Chicago merchant In s.vMcmnti- cnll- ' robbing the Nebraska producer the very clement of commerce , tlmt , it a * n local line should endeavor and is in duty bound to protect , " THH CAPITAL CITY 1NVADKD. Uninlia's Sweetest Sinners Furnish n Delightful I2vnlii ) ; of Song. The Apollo club , of this city , assisted by the Ladles' Quartette , and the Madrigals , gave a grand concert Tuesday evening at Kunk's opcrn house , In Lincoln. It was not expected that any grand financial benefit to the club would bo experienced , for with special train , carriages In both cities , opera house charges , and otnor expenses lncltlonl.il to such ventures , nothing short of a packed house could bring It nbout. Neither was thtJro nny ot the "bolter than them" spirit manifested. Tlicro nro ninny excellent sing ers In Omuhn , nml there nro others , In Lin coln , who are equally gift oil , therefore , the splendid club and ! U accomplished auxiliaries went down to the sister cltv with arms full of olive brunches , and hcarti full of friendli ness , to look Into the faces , ami , If possible , to Impress themselves upon the hoai ' 1 of it ? inusli * lovors. And how wore they received ! Magnificently. The newspaper * had boon genoroiH ; several of tne llrst families hail inailo personal efforts to nxvnkon uu interest ; "Our own Dick'1 had exerted himself , mid us n result ot It nil , not only a large , but nn ex ceedingly well appearing andicnco was in waiting when the curtain went up. Nothing was lucking on the part of Lincoln friends , cither In number or appreciation. The Apollos opened the concert with "Tho Trooper's Song- , " and sang it well. Mrs. Cotton , to whom belonged the second number on the programme , w.is delayed n little In the dressing room , and the club came out again with "Fors.ikun " It Is ono of the gems of musical composition , and that it was creditably rendered was shown by the hearty cncoro. The club responded with a lullnbv , by Brahms. In selecting that be.iu- tlful waltz song , by Arditti , Mrs.jCotton ox- hihilud good liislo. Omaha hns no sopr.mo whose voice isnioropuro and lloxiblo th.in hor's , and she used it with marked effect. In response to nn encore , she sang ' -The Two Languages , " by Hcrrlon , receiving almost equal applause. The people of Omaha nro especially proud of the ladies' quartette , and nny courtesy extended In that direction touches u responsive chord at once. Tlicir initial number , "Yon Spotted Snakes , " from Midsummer Night's Dream , wan exquisitely rendered. Some disappointment was occa sioned by the unavoidable substitution of tnls song for the "Spinning Song , " from Flying Dutchman , but It passed nw.iy and the quartette was rapturously applauded. Having captured the nudionce , when that phrase in tlio encore which says "Kisses are far better pay" was sung , every gentleman in the audience arose to discharge his obli gations at least they all . wanted to risa. Much had been heard by Lincoln people con cerning Mr. Hrighnm's singing , mid his song was listened to with close attention. When thn last strain of "Sleep Well , Sweet Angel" had died away , the modest gentleman was given an exceedingly prompt recall. His response , "Litllo Hint Song , " was sung ns ho always sings it , delightfully. The first half of the programme closed with "The Torrcadors , " Mr. Young singing the baritone obligate In splendid style , with the whole company as chorus. The llrst number of part two , "The Drowsy Wood , " in which Mr. Urigham sings the obligate , Is doubtless the most effective of all the pieces included in the Apollo's reper toire. They sang it as wall as it has over been sung by that organization , which Is sayIng - Ing a great deal. Hy general consent it was the gem of the club's numbers. Tlio Madri gals added new laurels to their already en viable collection in the "Spinning Song , " from Martha. Probably , for secular music , this is the best equipped mixed quartette in the city , having been singing together in thut particular line for a long timo. They were encored , and sang in excellent style "My True Love Hath My Heart. " Miss Elizabeth Penncll , whoso months of study In tlio cast has developed a splendid contralto voice , sang "When the Flowing Tide Conies In" sufficiently well to elicit a nattering en core. In response she g.ivo "Come Lassies , Come Laddies" bowitchmgly. In the "Wood land Hose" the Apollos exhibited to a re markable degree the effect of Mr. Young's masterly training. Lights and shades were chasing each other In perfect succession as the beautiful harmony proceeded , and when the last line was finished the audience was completely entranced , The programme closed with "This is tlio Man to Know , " , by the club. _ SHE WANTS MONEY.

WAsnixoTon , Jnn. 80 , In the- senate to day Mr. Mitchell offered a resolution ( which was agreed to ) , calling upon the secretary of the treasury for a statement of the amount in the sinking fund to Ibo credit of the Union nnd Central 1'aclllo railroads on February ruary 13 , 1SS9 , under the Thurman act , with the amount of each invested In bands ; the market value of nuch bonds and the amount which would have been in the sinking fund if no Investment in bondshad been made. The senate resumed consideration of the diplomatic and consular iippropriation bill , the miestiot ! being on the amendment affect ing the Sainoan islands. Mr. Dolph said that the question was oni' of special and local Interest to tlio people of the 1'ucitle coast , nnd thai whatever might bo the thoucht as to the propriety of n gen eral discussion of American rights and interests In the Sainoan Islands , nnd of the relations of the government of the United Stiltcs nnd the Gifi'inn government , the discussion had proceeded HO far as to render further discussion desirable. Ho sKike ) of the treaty or convention of Novem ber , 1SSI , between Samoa and Germany , ns one which , if it had been executed , would have substantially seen red to the German government entire control of the Islands. The extensive provisions ot that treaty , and the powers conferred by It on Germany , were entirely incompatible with the inde pendence and autonomy of the Sainoan gov ernment , and were inconsistent with Amer ican treaty rights there ; but as soon as the "German Hoot salted away the treaty was re pudiated by Mallotoa , ns having been signed under protest. Coming down to the conference nt Washington in July , IS37 , Mr , Dolph R | > eke of the agreement , thai pending that conference the stains quo should bo ob served. Mr. Morgan asked how ho knew the Ger man government had agreed to the stains quo. quo.Mr. . Dolph said that there may have been no special agreement , but it was implied. If congress was to interfere with the mutter , something very different from the pending amendments would bo required , If he was asked what tlmt was to bo , ho would say thai congress should instruct the president to insist upon thn res toration by the German government ot the status quo nt the time of the Washing ton conference , and to no 'ty % the German government that the United Status would not permit the Samoau islands to PUSH under control of any foreign nation , and that their Independent autonomy must be maintained. Ho saw no good reason why , if necessary , and requested by the Sainoan people , nn American protectorate might not bo estab lished over them , and that , ho said , would bo an entirely different thing from inturven lion as pracllced by European powers on the continent of Europe. Mr. Ucagan referred to the documents that have been published on the subject , and de clared thai no American citi/on could read the correspondence without feeling humilia tion to see tlio'rights of the United Stalest brutally overridden and trodden down b.y German subalterns , while the German prime minuter was professing friendship and a desire - sire to maintain proper relations with the government of the United States. His pur pose was , he said , to call attention to the fact thut the proposed amendment was too feeble to answer the purpose. "If wo mean anything let us signify it by our action , " ho said. "If we believe wo have rights which have been violated , wo should assert thosn rights as becomes a great and powerful nation. I am not in favor of war ; 1 knew too well the calamatlcs of war. But the humiliation of a great nation in the face of an arrogant power is worse than war. I woutd give the president power to determine what are our rights in the mutter , and the power lo assert those rights in a way that could not bo mistaken. If wo do this wo may expect to obtuin our rights and secure the status quo. I would suggest nn addition lo 'the pending amendment of tlio words , 'And for the protection of the rights of American citizens residing m said islandsand to preserve the neutrality nnd independence of their people. " Then wo will have said something , but if wo do not put in some such declaration we leave the president exactly where ho is now in a position where ho re gards himself as powerless to vindicate the rights of the United States. " At Iho close of Mr , Heagau's speech the scmxto proceeded to executive buslncM , nnJ when Iho < leers reopened adjourned , It ! understood that the accrut session was consumed In discussing the British ex- tr million treaty.

Mr. Payion advocated the amendment. Mr. ionics of Colorado said that ns n member of the G. A. lu ho rose , to opinwi the amendment. Some gentlemen who ad vocated Ihe movement must oxrunu him for saving thai their actions tended more to de- foal the bill than to grant special benefits lo a few special ( ) A It. soldiers , The mem bers of the Grand Army did not como before tlio house aslclnif that 'Ml or t > 00 of them , who might bo able to go with the boomers Into Oklahoma , .should have n present of $200 toCHHeiieli , xvhilo thousand * who wore unable to go there , nnd who were In want , would receive nothing nt nil White the do pendonl pension bill romalnod vetoed , the healthy , nblu bodied members of the ( .
