So long1 as Juy Gould confines his policy of retrenchment to cutting down the salnriea of his high-priced confidon- tials , not a murmur will be heard. TIIK people of St. Paul , Minnesota , look with envious eyes at Omaha. While our postolllco is an assured fact , their postolllco bill has only reached the house. Tun bill to quiet the titlo-of the Dos Moincs river lands now awaits the signature - , nature of the president. Probably it will bo duly signed. The English method of eviction is not popular in America. A LONO pull and a strong pull , and a pull all together. That is the kind of combined action Omaha expects from bcr capitalists , her property holders , her artisans , her business men and her citizens in gonoral.

In view of the fact that in the past few months a largo number of such associations have been incorporated in Nebraska , the necessity of providing Similar laws of state supervision should not fall to impress itself upon our legis lators. TIIK notion of the Kansas railroad commission in ordering the roads of that ttato to discontinue the now weighing System of live stock and to charge by llio carload , as formerly , will in all r probability affect the weighing system bt the Omaha stock yards , as well as those at Kansas City nnd Chicago. It Is claimed that the weighing system t adopted by the railroads at these vari ous markets January 1 is extremely un popular with shippers. It not only adds lo the increased cost ot freight , but pauses uniiocif&sary delay nnd injury to Mock , due to the switching and jolting pf the curs. RKt'llKSjNTATiVJ5 business raon of Dur city are nt all times ready to en courage tha location of manufacturing establishments in our midet. No worthy enterprise which is adapted to supply the wants of the territory tributary to Omaha , or is able to convert the raw materials of our products need go abog- ging for financial aid nt our doors , The field is a broad one for just such indus tries nnd success is certain where busi ness methods are adhered to. Hut while Omaha is anxious nnd willing to foster infant industries , it cannot/ afford to extend aid to such enterprises as are more experiments or weaklings ill- adapted to Our needs and locality. Tha proKHil | to nmond the intcr-sUito commerce act so na lo confer upon the state courts concurrent jurisdiction with the federal courts to hear nnd deter mine causes arising under the law , re garding which there is disagreement between the house and senate , ought to prevail. The purpose ot the proposed amendment , which originated in the hoiiM3 , is to enable the ultutMi conven iently to apply to the courts for redress , and itia a good purpose which congress should not defeat. As was said by Mr. Crlhti in the course of the discussion on tlio amendment a tow days ago , in some of the states it is qulto easy to apply lo n United Slates court for redress , but there are stales whore the cHi/.cn must go , and must take his witnesses , two or throe hundred miles ton fo.loral court injordcr to have his case tried. Obvi ously the most certain way to secure from individuals and corporations n strict compliance with law is to put it in the power of the persons who are in jured by their ( allure lo comply with the law to reach , with as little trouble and cxpznso as possible , a court which etui compel obedience. To pay lo a mini that ho must go two or three hundred miles with his witnesses to roach a court where lii.s case may bo tried amounts in many instances to an absolute denial of justice. A shipper may have the best possible evidence that ho has boon injured , but when the alternatives 'aro presented to him at bearing the wrong or coing to the ex pense of traveling far from his homo and taking his witnesses with him , in most cases there will be no attempt to secure redress through the courts. The loss of time , the neglect of businessand the great outlay involved where long distances must be traveled in order to reach a court are conditions which would compel many who might sulTor injury at the hands ot the carriers to seek redroad by some loss troublesome and expensive means than an appeal lethe the courts. The proposal lo give state courts con current jurisdiction with the federal courts , has been assailed on the ground that there is no power under the con stitution to do this , but this position lias been shown by overwhelming authority to bo untenable. The truth is it has been the uniform policy from the form ation of the government for congress to confer jurisdiction upon state courts and state tribunals in cases similar to the one under consideration , and until objection was raised in the interest of Iho railroad corporations that policy has never boon broken nor interrupted nor objected to. As was shown by Mr. Anderson , of lowr , who vigorously ad vocated the proposed amendment , the authority of congress to confer jurisdic tion on the state courts has been af firmed by the supreme court of the United States. This being conceded , as it was by most of those who opposed the amendment , the question is simply whether it would bo in the interest ot the people for congress to confer con current jurisdiction on the state courts with respect to provisions ot the inter state commerce act. The great weight of argument is on the side ot the pro posed amendment , and the house did wisely in voting to adhere to it. 1AT INAUSPICIOUS FEAST. The dinner given by Secretary "Whit ney in honor of the president would un doubtedly have been a far more enjoy able alTair than it was had Governor Hill not boon present. It appears that in extending an invitation to him it was expected that ho would follow nu merous precedents in declining to no to Washington , but this opportunity seems tohuve had something irresistible about it. At any rate the invitation was promptly accepted and Mr. Ilill up- ncarod on tlmo at the Whitney feast. The mooting ot the president nnd the governor was an embarrassing incident for all concerned. It is described as having been as formal nnd icy as the circumstances would ullo.v , and the ef fect was chilling upon everybody. The governor manfully stayed the dinner through , but the president rem.iined but n short time , an urgent call to New York with reference to his future resi dence requiring his attention. There is n very general opinion , however , that had Uovornor Ilill not been pres ent Mr. Cleveland would have found it convenient to postpone at least fern n day the Now York visit , and tile whole proceeding on the part of the president will bear but one reasonable explanation : that is that ho does not feel friendly to Governor Ilill , and regardless ot what was duo to the host or considerations ot etiquette Mr. Cleveland took this opportunity of pub licly showing that the former relations between himself and Now York's ' gov ernor no longer exslst. It < vas n sulllciently plain declaration that these eminent' democratic leaders have be come so far separated that they uro not likely to over again do battle together. Perhaps the matter is not of very great importance , but it suggests that the democratic party may have a very interesting contest within itsown ranks four years hence If these two leaders shall bo rivals for the presidential nomination , as in nil probability they will bo. Thnre is a numerous body of Cleveland admirers in the democratic party who will want him for the next presidential rnco , and there is not thu slightest probability that ho will en deavor to persuade them to look for Homebody else. IIo is going to Now York , whore ho will bo identified with a prominent firm of lawyers , and can keep him&lf in cordial relations with the politicians of the state. He is not going out of politics , nnd when the time coirtoa ills party can ngaln run him for the presidency if it so doslros. Meanwhile Governor Hill is going to do nil ho can to strengthen his presiden tial chances , but ho will labor to this end with the assurance that ho has a formidable enemy who will not spare any effort to defeat Ills ambition. The feast was not auspicious that brought Cleveland nnd Hill together , but it possessed more than ordinary interest in having clearly established what hud before been only &tnpoctod , * * * * * * * * 7'"MM * * * * ? r ? * TnuilK can bo no question that the public lund laws should bo speedily ro- vised. . The sonata has agreed to repeal the pre-emption and tiniberculturc nets and has sent the bill to the house. But as on former occasions it is to bo feared that a powerful land lobby will defeat the measure. If passed , however , pub lic lands will bo reserved for actual settlers and subject to entry under the homestead net alone. Under the too lenient provisions ot the present homestead - stead law , millions of acres of the people's land have been diverted by capitalists and syndicates for specula * tlvo purposes. Gigantic frauds have been perpetrated , and the heritage once sot aside for actual settlers has boon shamefully abused. Ot the throe ways of proving n claim , the records of the land ofilccs show that bona fide settlers have for the moat part taken their first lands under the homestead act , while land grabbers have found It nil too easy to secure Immense portions ol the public domain through the pre emption mid limber culture acts. There is another strong reason for amending the original law. The public lands nro fust disappearing. Settlers and land grabbers have taken advantage of all three provisions of the homestead law in securing more than the one hundred and sixty acres , the allotment for each individual as first designed by congress. The proposed legislation is intended lo stop this wrong. Public lands nro to bo reserved for actual settlers , nnd the amount of holding is to tic limited to one hundred and sixty acres each. Tin : value of the corn , oat and whonl crop of Nebraska for last year , esti mated by the agricultural bureau nl nearly fifty millions of dollars , does not include the returns from the animal in dustry , the second great natural pro duct of the state. Added to this the values impressed upon some of our raw materials by converting our corn , oats and wheat into meal and Hour , our hogs and cattle into packing-house products , it is safe to estimate the total value ot our agricultural , animal and manufac tured products in the state for the year 18SS itt from sevc'nty to seventy-five mil lions. In short , our state , irrespective of its commercial transactions , has brougnt just o much wealth into the world to oxcli-ingo for the things wo want. A part of this great sum will go to pay oil the debts of the people ot Nebraska , the mortffafires which they owe. A part will bo exchanged for the necessaries of life , for clothing nnd for luxuries. But the greater part will bo used to make permanent improvements , to build up cities and to improve our agricul tural lands. Not a small part of those seventy-five millions will gravitate toward Omaha. They will percolate through every channel ot trade and in dustry in our city. They will quicken the wheels ot our commerce , nnd will bo converted into buildings of stone and brick. decision of Judge Brewer in the Iowa shippers case was a bombshell in the camp of the railroads. Their out ward anxiety to conform immediately to the state railroad commission's schedule is not ns sincere as it might appear on the surface. They want to gain time , and have set the heads of their legal departments together to discover some way of checkmating tha lown commission , the courts and the people. through its legisla ture , " says the Chicago Times , "asks the president-elect to appoint the Union Pacific railroad , which is in de fault to the government in the matter of subvention bonds , secretary of the interior. " This hits the nail squarely on the head. * OTHER LAND $ THAN OUHS. The mystery surrounding the doiitn of the Crown Priiico Rudolph remains as impene trable as ever , nnd in all probability will never be cleared up. To the outsiilo world the principal Interest possessed by the clr- cumstanco lies In the brd.ik which it portends tends in the Hupslmrg domain. The Aus trian law prohibits wouion from ascending the throne of that country. Hungary , how ever , which is the largest of the other parts of which the empire Is composed , offers no such obstacle against female rule. Rudolph loft no male issue , his only child bolnp ; a daughter now about six years old. On the death of the Austrian emperor , therefore , the crown will pass to the brother of that potentate , the Archduke Charles Louis , or ono of his sons , while the daughter of Uti- clolph , if living , or Jf not allvo then the younger sister of the dead prince , will attain the sccptro in Hungary. The archduke is understood to have sinned owr to his oldest son , Francis , his claims to the succession. Francis is described us a good looking , good humored , dull and indolent young follow , not yet married , and without special rep utation or any discoverable talent. Ho is to bo adopted as the heir , and an effort will bo made to educate him into something like ill ness for the great post of Austrian emperor , who , besides boini ? a descendant of the Cwsara , is the king of nine countries , nnd wears titles to tha number of llfty-four. It will take very careful training to enable an idle and not especially bright young Infantry innjor to fill so largo an order , but that is the condition to which the house of Hapsburg Is reduced , * * * The political situation in Franco has been much loss threatening since the chamber of deputies , by its vote of conlldenci * , relieved the ministry of the necessity of retiring from power. As the most Important result of the ministerial victory , It seems to bo conceJod on all hands that the chamber of deputies will survive to the end of Its term In Octo ber , and that the coutomiry of the revolution will bo undisturbed by political" agitation , The next election will bo hold by arrondisso- mcnts , or single districts , the government having coma to the conclusion that by re turning to the old plan of electing deputies the republic would bo able to batter resist its enemies , Uut there Is considerable difference of opinion In regard to the wisdom of ruvoi-3- Ing the plan which Gumbcttu considered BO essential to the republican programme.

One or ( ho Most Chnrntliiff ISvcut * of thu Season. The reception given by Mr. nud Mrs. G. W. Llnlnger , assisted by Mr , nnd Mrs. F. L. Halter , last evening , proved to bo a most brilliant social ovcut , ns had been expected. The Invited guests included notables In every walk of life , nnd It would scorn , from n cursory observation by the reporter , that everybody who was somebody was present. At an early hour In Iho even ing the guests began to arrive nnd at nbout V o'clock the drawing rooms nnd now well known art gallery wore Illlod with a gay throng bout on pleasure. Of course one of the principal features of the early pai t of the evening was the prome nade In the art gallery , whore the guests had nn opportunity of enjoying n contemplation of soinu of the ilnest works of modern limes , nnd nlso these of tunny of almost ns equally meritorious Imitators of the old masters. A bout 10 o'clock the "Musical Union or chestra struck up nn entrancing wait/ and as many of the guests ns could Und room took part In the fascinating dance. Uoricshtuonts were served ntan early hour , but owing to the enormous gathering It took considerable time to attend to the wants of alt present and thu ubiquitous and polite colored waiters wore kept busy for nil hour or more serving the guests. It Is Impossible owing to the great crowd that w.is present , to glvo n list of the guests and costumes , but it will stifllro to say that It was trulv u reprosontatlvo Omaha gather ing nnd ono which represented the business Interests und the social refinement of the city. AT TilK r I'our Thousnml IVonloVitnoss n Hard StriiKKle. If any ono thinks the people are not inter ested in the great sK day bicycle rauo now In progress , they should have boon present nt the colossoum last night. The crowd In attendance was u magnificent ono , numbering anywhere from throe thousand to three thousand live hundred people. The en thusiasm was most exhilarating , and when the great crowd swelled their throats in ono vohimiilous cheer over tiny special effort on the part of this nicer or that , the vast build ing would tremble from pit to dome. Prince was despcrato mid his attempts to regain the lap lost the night before bv his unfortunate accident , were frequent mid de termined , but f tttUe. The otnor riders seemed determined to tiold him where they bad him , and they would unlto in an endeavor to block and dog his way at every spurt ho mado. Several times ho was in a fair way to regain his lost ground , but each lime , in relays , the other riders would pull up on him nnd dog his wnv. There is no doubt but what Jack is riding in belter form than ho over did hi his life , hut notwithstanding this fact , he bus a bigger contract on his hands in recovering the single lap lost than he probably ever un- uortook boforo. Ho is full of nerve and pluck , though , nnd says ho will show the cltl/cns of Omaha to-night such riding as they never behold before. Senator Morgan has gotten himself into decided bud odor by his persistent eflorts to block Prince. He indulges hi all the tricks known to the profession , nnd fully demonstrates what there is in bieylo jockeying. ICnapp , too , while not so overt ill his demonstrations , is lending all his powers in furtherance of Morgan's intentions to prevent the local champion from gaming what ho has lost. The soldier preserves the oven tenor of his way , impressing the people moro and inoio every evening with his in creasing abilities as a "bykcr. " Ho takes ono part in O ? ; tlio machin ations against Prince , but contents himself with seeing that the gang docs not leave him in the lurch. Ono ot the most pleasing fea ture's of last ' the night's session was largo attendance of ladies , whoso pretty faces , sparkling eyes and gay apparel lent un addi tional charm to the stirring , picturesque scene. The llnish last night was again very close , Morgan coming in llrst , n neck nlioad of Prince , Knapp third and Heading lust. The total score now stands , Morgan , Knapp and Heading 2ol miles and S laps each , und Priiico " 51 miles and 7 laps. A 1'leasnnt KvoniiiK- The Creiphton Guards' entertainment last evening- , the second of tlio series , was opened by Mr. August Borgluu with a piatio solo. The president , Mr. Scaunel , gave a report on the status of the society , and urged the mom- burs to greater ? oal in attaining the object of their hopes.

Ho spoke with out notes. Modest , graceful and nuletly humorous , ho entertained the company with an analysis of the post's character , his prose works and his poems , from which ho quoted copiously. Mr. Evans paid u flattertie ! compliment to the poet laureate of the sooloty , Mr. Carey , wlio delivered un original poem , a mnck-ho- roic , entitled , "Tho Battle of Wahoo. " Miss Stella O'Hunlon , u pctita lady , grace ful and pretty , recited Mary Queen of Scols' soliloquy with much dramatic expression.

Mr. Zimmerman was then called upon and gave a short humorous speech on the many I things n spectator might , see. Mr. Klmmor- man than sang "Tlio Heart Bowed Down , " from Balfo , mid received u merited recall. Mr.s JamosAtwood was the capable accom panist of the oii'oiilng.
