HAS the union depot project afjaln been hung up ? HICTTEU light and loss cost Is the motto of the city council. JAKE KILUAIK Is coming homo. Where Is Champion Sullivan ? TITK order has gone forth to clean the alloys. A word to the negligent is suf ficient. MOHE business activity and less bick ering ever trifles is demanded in county affairs. THE sentiment for annexation is 'growing in South Omaha. "In union there is strength. " TllK relations existing between the city and the gas company are in a very unsatisfactory condition. IT is foreshadowed that General Ma- hone and John S. Wise of Virginia may fall on each other's neck and reconcile the warring factions of that state iu obedience to the wishes of President Harrison. IT IS a sad commentary on the creed of office-seeking when both the presi dent nnd the secretary of the treasury are obliged to give public notice that offlccseokors should allow them at least some time for the transaction of public business. EVEUV dollar given toward observing Memorial day la nn offering to patriot ism , a tribute to the memory of the men whoso sacrifices gave us a united nation. Give promptly and generously , and make Decoration day in Omaha ono worthy of the name. THE crowding of settlers upon the Bloux reservation in defiance of the warnings of the government is not i going to help their causa in the least. It more likely to embarrass the nogotia- lions of the commissioners with the In- - dlaus , and load to the eviction of the tquattors by United States troops. DEEP interest has been awakened through the country over the posblbili- ties of making flax culture and linen manufacture loading industries. The 'encouragement hold out by the agricul tural department is more than likely ta Influence the planting of largo areas ol Dax'by the farmers in different parts ol the United States in the near future. THE sale of the Denver & South Park rrailroud ; announced to take place Ithin ten days at Denver , to satisfy Cho holders of the first mortgage , will oroato considerable interest in railroad circles. The road is Important to the Union. Pacific system. Both the Burling - , ling ton and the Rook Island appear quite anxious to obtain possession of the Denver & South Park for obvious reasons , and a lively competition maj bo expected at the sale unless some agreement bo reached with the stock holders as to the disposition of the road before that time. THU plumbers' strike still remain ! unsettle ® . While the responsibilit ; ' for the walk-out must be laid at thi door of the master plumbers , thi P journeymen can not afford to stand ou on dignity. They can not hope to so P , euro concessions and ro-omploymon B. unless they submit their differences t ( abltrution. This can only bo brough about by the appointment of a committee too from tholr union with authority t propose arbitration to the raasto plumbers. If the latter refuse to troa with the committee , the journoymoi will have public sympathy on thol side. Otherwise tholr atriko will on . iu u costly failure. A BUJWANTIAL Improvement is nc tlcottble In railroad tralllo. The movement mont in grain , accelerated by the grow ing strength of the market , is an cr couraglnp slgu of improvement. Th increased export of wheat and cert followed by an advance la prices , an the reduced rates offered by wester railroads , combine toopenthogranaric and relieve to u substantial extent , th prevailing depression.

WIIAT NEBRASKA WILL OATX. With the opening of the Sioux"rosor - tlon n vnltmblo strip of territory , said to bo the finest portion of the reservation , will become a pnrt of Nobnvakn. This territory Hos north of and on the Nlo- brnra rlvor , and is distinctively known us the Poncn reserve. It wns ceded by an net of congress in 1832 to extend the northern boundary of Nebraska , to wliich the assent of the state wns given in thnt year by n bill passed nt the special session of the legislature. The condition of the cession was thnt it should become a part of Nebraska on the extinguishment of the Indian title. The strip contains about seven hundred thousand acres ot excellent land , and under the provisions of the not of con gress for opening the Sioux reservation the Poncns will bo entitled to allot ments nnd to nil other benefits In the same irmniior nnd with the same condi tions as if they were n part of the Sioux nation. The act of the last congress re garding the reservation distinctly rec ognizes the act of 1882 "to extend the northern boundary of the state of Ne braska , " in view of which it would seem safe to conclude that whan the condition of the cession is complied with in the extinguishment oftho Indian title th3 government will concede the right of Nobraskn to extend its jurisdiction ever this strip. A correspondent of TUB Bisn , rotor- ing to the letter of the commissioner of the Innd olllcu , recently published , re- gnrding the preliminary requirements to an opening of the Siouxi'osorvntlon , suggests that , the commissioner is mis taken in the view thnt any further action by congress is necessary. Ho quotes from the law to show that when the consent of the Indians has bson ob tained , and satisfactory proof thereof has boon presented to the president , the president shall make the same known by proclamation , whereupon the reserva tion will bo open for settlement. The act does not provide for the further consent of congress , but obviously set tlement can not bo made until there have been surveys of the portions of the territory that have not boon surveyed , in order thnt the Indians may llrst re ceive their allotments , of which , as wo understand the act , they have the right of selection. It is doubtless true as to those uortions which have boon surveyed , as for example , the strip that will become n part of Nebraska , that squatters may locate upon It , but they would neces sarily do so without any certainty of re maining whore they sqattcd. The pro visions regarding allotments to the Poncaand other Indians on the lands described in the act to extend the north ern boundary of Nobraskn requires that such allotments shall bo made within sfx months from the tlmo the ant shall take effect , so that there is a proba bility that under the most favorable cir cumstances this portion of the reserva tion may bo ready for settlement oefore the close of the year. But the commission nTust moot with a prompt success that is hardly expected , and the president allow no delay in proclaiming the re sult , in order to enable anybody to ef fect a permanent settlement oven in the surveyed territory within the present year. In any event , however , the open ing up of the reservation has a special importance for Nebraska , and care should bo taken that the state is not de prived of any part of the benefits that should accrue to it. TAKING COUNSEL OF THE ENEMY All tno democratic and mugwump or gans in this city are very anxious that Senator Mnnderson should keep on brandishing a big club over the head ot ox-Senator Saunders. They applaud Senator Manderson's threats to defeat Saundors' confirmation lor the Utah commission , because he has dared to differ with Mr. Mandoreon as to the lo cation of the nevi postofflco building. It is perfectly natural that the organs which supported Grover Cleveland for the presidency should want to use Sen ator Mundorson to help carry out the arrangement by which Mrs. Grover Cleveland was to make a little pin money out of Uncle Sara. Taking ad vantage of General Martdorson's well-known partiality to Mrs. Cleveland and his chivalry whore a handsome woman la deeply in terested , they take delight in fanning the factional fires in the republican camp. They know that Manderson has already crippled himself nnd made him self impotent to help his politi6al friends by his unseemly exhibitions of jealousy ana vindietlveness toward Sen ator Saunders. By adding fuel to the flame they urge Mandorsoii to Icenp up a contest in which ho is bound to bo worsted in the long run. When a re publican senator , taking counsel and comfort from democrats and mugwumps , places himself in a hostile attitude to ward a republican administration , ho IB on the high road to political ruin. Ho might as well plant himself in the path of a locomotive. Greater men than Mundorson have fallen by the way side in the foolhardy role of senatorial dic tator. Prom Tipton , who was dis gruntled with Grant , to the brilliant , imperious and majestic Conkling , none has survived a passnge-at-arms with a president. The sooner Mr. Mandorson takes in his horns and shows by hit conduct that he realizes that ho is onlj a small fragment of the great machine of government the bettor it will bo for himself nnd the people of this etato. His throats to defeat the confirmation of a man whom ho has endorsed for appointment < pointmont , are pourllo and unbecoming the dignity of his ofllce. COMPETITION , The recent decline in the prices ol iron , and the depression that provalh in some branches of the iron industry aro' thought to foreshadow a revolution in thlsdopartmontof trade. Except foi , a brief period olovou yearn ago , plf idn iron now rules at the lowest figure ovoi n attained , and It is by no moans certali 08 that the bottom has been reached Thorn is more than oao cause for thi o- state of affairs , but , undoubtedly , no tlBo tbo least Influential is southern compo ot - titlon , The low price of south t , ern iron has placed the Penn id sylvauia Iron masters on th < defensive , and seems likely t 1 liold thorn iu that poiiUoa uuless then should bo an unlookod-for revival of the trade. The situation can bo easily understood when it is stated that Penn sylvania iron can not bo drawn for loss than thirteen dollars per ton , whllo southern Iron can bo produced for nine dollars. At prcsent.tho iron mak ers ot Pennsylvania are selling tholr product at a profit of not to oxccod two dollars a ton ever actual cost of manu facture , whllo the southern makers , selling nt 0110 dollar below the price of tholr northern competitors , got n profit of about five dollars per ton. The disadvantage nt which the iron industries of the north are thus placed must inevitably in tlmo produce great changes In the trade. Just now the Iron producers of Pennsylvania may bo simply testing the competitive power of the southern mills and perhaps fooling out for some sort ot n comblnntion , but whatever their purposes may bo It would seem evident that the iron industries of this country are on the point of under going important changes for which the southern competition will bo primarily responsible , nnd which will materially atToct the pros perity of numerous localities where these industries exist under conditions no longer favorable. Combination may delay this result , but It can not permanently prevent it , and among the possible consequences a material modi fication of the tariff on iron is not the most unlikely. PUSUIXQ REFORM. When President Harrison made his appointments of civil service commis sioners , he gave the best possible evi dence of his sincere desire to promote real reform In the Civil service. Ho diu not promise. ; is his predecessor had done , to make this the cardinal policy of his administration. Ho had made a record in favor of civil service reform , and ho had declared his full concur rence with the altitude of his party on the subject , but ho had his own ideas of how to proceed and ho pursued them regardless of the opinions nnd criticisms of others. Ho found that grave wrongs had been done which demanded to bo righted , and ho did no ; hesitate to act as justice and the inter ests ot the public service required. He did not commend himself to the extreme - tromo and unpracticable reformers , but ho did his duty to his own satisfaction and that of the fair and candid judg ment of the country. The appointment of civil service com missioners in full and hearty sympathy with reform meant that tlio president intended to give the policy a fair and thorough trial , under the supervision of men whose integrity and devo tion uono could doubt. This intention is being put into affect. Civil service regulations are being extended in every department , and it is undortood thnt the prosiJont favors apolying them to the employes for taking the next cen sus. The tongues of his democratic and mugwump critics are silenced and the criticism ho now gets comes from the spoilsjioliticinns ot his own party. The promise is thnt the di y of farcical re form has gone by , and that hereafter there is to be an honest , straightfor ward policy , to bo judged on its merits. Such a course will bo in striking con trast to what the country has hitherto experienced. SENATOR VKS > T'S committee , which early this spring took up the investiga tion of the alleged control of the meat markets of the country by Chicago pack ing combines , will continue its exam ination during the summer. It will have the opportunity to go over the field carefully and gather such testi mony as will provo or disprove the ex istence of a moat monopoly in the coun try. The action of a number of state legislatures in making the beef supply a question of serious invesga- tion croos to show that widespread dis satisfaction exists. It will therefore bo the business of the senate committee to find out whether the complaint against the alleged beef packing combine bo well founded or not. As yet no positive proof of such a combination exists , and tlio investigations so far have accom plished no practical results. It is uni versally admitted that state laws clia- criminatingagainstdrossed beef are im proper and unconstitutional , and in no way would moot the ovll of n beef trust. Whatever regulation is necessary to correct the abuse must bo loft to con- gross. The senate coinmittoo is in a condition to give the whole question an impartial hearing and to recommend to congress what remedy should bo ap plied if the investigation develops any thing that calls for national interfer ence. But should the committee dis cover that the hue and ory against the packed beef industry is merely raised by selfish and competitive interests in order to prejudice the public , it can done no bettor service to the country than to cxposo the fallacies and put an end to the war on the packed beef industry. A CALii for a mooting of all citizens who favor the election of a non-partisan school board on June 3 is now in ordor. This mooting should be hold regardless of impending political caucuses and convotitions. OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The vote recently in the British house of commons on the bill to abolish the hereditary principles of the house of lords was not with out significance. Tuts was the fourth time within seven years that the bill came up , and on the thrcu former occasions it received lit tle encouragement from English politicians of importance. ' This time , however , it has not only been baultod by the liberal leaders , but has received some lory support , and has been defeated by the .small majority of 41 ia a total vote of 8tl ! , Whllo the house of lords , as at present constituted , la generally recog nized as a stumbling-block to British pro gress , few politicians have had the courage to attempt to deprive its membe/s.of their most chorUbod privilege , and some have no doubt been deferred by the hope that they might at some future time gain the distinc tion of a seat among the poera. But the Incmbor of parliament li learning a thing or two. Ho knows that the house ol lords it anything but popular among the people , and ho need not fear to give offence to any one except the peer * themselves , and noblemen nro not half to Important iu England nowa day * aa they used to to. The railing to the peerage of brewers , shop-keepers , and others whose riches grew like mushrooms , and toe ot § clou * of Uia uoblwt LOUJM , have knocked out a good deal of the rover- onro for titles. The refusal of ambassadors of nil the European monar to * and also of the Bra- zlllan , to accept 11 > bi/liatlons to attend the banquet given it oner of the c.\bmot of the French republic ilpleitjatos from all the American rcpubl ese nroducts nro rep- resented in the P position , was u nattt- ral , though unmai y , outcome of clrcutu- stances.

The exposition Itself has boon rojrnrued with unfriendly eyes by the kings and cmporori of the world ; their ombassadors were present at Its Inaugu ration , indeed , but only as private person , ngos'.thoy did not npnoar as friendly repre sentatives of friendly powers. The mon archies hava made n mistake. They have been Insistent upon the decay of republican theories and the domUo of republican lone- mas iu Europe , but their conspicuous hostil ity to n convivlbl mealing of the delegates rom republican nations Is evidence ot their read of the republican Instincts of tholr ubjccta. It Is natural enough.

The throat produced ts effect , and this Is why the Pcrjlan mou- arch Is greeted with such honors In Russia , le walked under triumphal nruhos nt Krwan and feasted his eyes upon the Inscription : To the Shah's Sacred Person. " The Brlt- : sh flatterers of the shah will bo compelled toile ilo something more handsome than lodge him in the dreary halts of Buckingham , ) alncc , if they oxpocfc to outdo the RussUn Honors. It is all n selfish and disingenuous display ot respect for a barbarous ruler , for whom there is In reality not the least re- ard. # * Besides the exhibition , Pans has an attrac tion for some minds in u succession of inter national congresses debating all manners of jnestious save liiosd' related to politics or ( religion. Such c ouiyrcsses ( they are common to nil international exhibitions ) not infre quently accomplish a Kroat deal of good by bringing together some ot the brightest minds in the world a succession of special- sts. Their audi&geos may ue small , but they nre select , and the publication of what is said and of descriptions of iwhat is shown carries around the world tile consensus of thought on various practical ami scientific subjects. Tbo Electrical congress of 1831 was of great ' ' uluo In securing so'mo'tbtng like uniformity in nomenclature and standards of measure ment , nnd the Electrical congress will this year have irxora wprjc ofthe same kind to do. 'It ' should , for example , * got * a new standard for measuring electric lights , and it ought to discuss the subject of laying wires under ground. If it should succeed in settling these questions to the satisfaction of Amer ican cities it will Justify'tho flood of talk which Paris invites when it calls together sixty-nine international congresses to moot there within six months. * # * The latest conspiracy against tlio czar was evidently no commonplace nihilistic affair. It is an old device of the Russian policy to invent conspiracies in order to cover over their lukewartnncss nnd mcfllcicncy and pose bcforo the goverpmcnt as models of vigilance and zeal. But the numerous arrests of army offlcurs , some of whom actually slew thorn- solves upon discovery , indicate a deep plot against the lifo of the czar. What were the ultimate political aims of the conspirators , in the event of the czar's assassination , is not likely to become known to the world. The Russian govern mont in Its despotic jealousy docs not permit any report of its state trials to extend beyond the walls of the court house in which they are held. It is feared with reason , that the more the Russian pee ] pie shall become familiarised with con spiracies against the government the greater will bo their frequency and danger. Such a a political system has nothing to dread so much as publicity. # * The government of the Argentina Repub lic has been inoro successful in prohibiting speculation iu gold than was the government of the United SUtcs when it undertook the task , but the extreme methods adopted thcro would not have been tolerated hero. As soon as the now minister of finance , Senor Varola , came to his post , ho Dent all his energies to reducing the premium on gold. But in spite of all ho could do , the prlco of gold steadily advanced from 185 , last December , to 100 la February. Ho attributed this largely to the speculation of the exchange. la February , the minister showed , the dealings in gold amounted to ninety million dollars , whllo the actual needs of commerce- would not have called fortnoro than ilvo million dollars. It was on March "G that the decree was issued declaring all buying and selling of gold , not for immediate delivery and immediate uo , to bo illegal. Moro than this , the doora of the exchange were closed at once by the police - lice and a guard of soldiers stationed before them. The members of the exchange natur ally felt thomselv'es"1lilgh1y ' " aggrieved , nnd would not agree to live up to the terms of the decree , which was the reason the gov ernment resorted & extreme measures. The larger part of the press strongly opposes the new law. Yet It i.nomilar with the country at largo , and there scorns to bo no immediate prospect of its repeal. ) iTho effect upoa the price of gold , how vorj1 has not boon what the minister of financehoped and predicted ; that has changod'tmt'littlo ' slnoe the date of the decree. ,11 % ii\lir.

It is quito natural that the pnoploand ompororof Germany may love the Emperor Alexander none "the loss' ) while loving King Humbert "tho more. " The recant historic * of Italy and Germany run on parallel lines. The Italian policy has been to make Italy not only free but united from the Alps to the Adriatic | the Imperial policy has been to consolidate all the prov inces between tber Uoioo and theBaltio.

Ho on- orod offlco nt the latter part of 1851 , nnd was lectcd to a second term last year. The ox- lorlcnco of the past Qftjon years shows that insurrections and revolutions are not noccs- ry conditions in the Mexican's existence , ivhllo tlio record of the country slnco 1S35 , roves that Mexico Is not Incapiblo of nn uiprovcment of a highly Important aud flat- orlng character.

HITS AND MISSES. t The case of a child arrested in Omaha for "stealing" two cooKics , recalls the famous lines of Tom Hood : "Oh. God ! thnt flesh and blood should bo so cheap and bread BO ilear. " The collection of human bones dug up in the southwestern pectlon of the city is not n comparison to the museum of human anat omy resting on the surfnco of Jefferson square every sunny day , A verdict of 25 cents is not very encourag ing to those hunkering for notoriety and damage suits against newspapers. The revolver is no respecter of persons. OWcor Foley painfully realized this fact when ho dropped his artillery on tlio pave ment , nnd captured a bleeding calf. Mr. Foley know it wns loaded after the explo sion. Sidewalk Inspector Allen wants nn assist ant. If there Is an oftlc'al ' in the city or county who does not cherish "a long felt want" of llko nature , snodosty alone pre vents him making it known. Mr. Pritchett wants an endorsement as a reward for his resignation. There ought to bo no trouble In securing It. Scores of anx ious legal luminaries stand ready to endorse his resignation. If anything further is needed to convince the public of the healthfulncss of Omaha , it is furnished by the wholesale liquor dealers. After n cirpful observance of the public pulse they uilirrn that there has been a sub stantial dccrcaso of consumption. Tlieso symptoms tire an encouraging proof that the people are not coughing up to an iilarm- ing extent. The street sweepers have struck a now and convenient means of disnosing of the rubbish.
