The Indian peace commission is
making no headway with the in
vestigation. Thus far they have
failed to obtain the guilty parties in
the recent outbreak. Chief Ouray
came into the commission the other
day and acted very sullenly and in
dicated a decided ill-feel;ng towards
Gen. Adams, who, he said, was in
competent as n commissioner on
account of his want of knowledge OF
the Utes and Of their affairs. II is
reported that the military escort ar.
rived at Los Pinos on the 18th,
many Of them with frozen feet, hav-
ing come through terrible snow
storm. 1t is stated that the commits
sion viii, remain few days at Pinos,
and then proceed to Denver, where
they will take the testimony Of the
officers engaged in the Milk river
fight and then go to Washington.

EVERY now and then for years the
JOURNAL has used its little hammer
to pound away on the Mormon
problem, but it does seem that
events alone will bring the Ameri-
can people to sense of the import
ance Of the situation. The Noun
tain Meadow massacre was sufficient
to stir the blood of the nation, with
out the recent word from Chief
Ouray that the Mormons were the
instigators and abettors of the re-
cent Ute horrors.

A New Deal.

Omaha is making much of the
consolidation Of the Omaha Il
Northwestern road with the Gov
ington or North Nebraska, which,
when the gap is completed, will
give Omaha pretty direct line to
Sioux City and the lumber regions
north. This il all well enough for
Omaha, but when she assumes that
she will necessarily be the distribu-
ting point for all Nebraska she
makes a slight mistake. 1t is, and
has been for many months evident
to the knowing ones that Jay Gould,
the great king of railroad schemers,
has been centeriBg his railroad af-
fections at an other place, aud is
gradually but most effectually sap
ping Omaha. His projects all point
to other places than Omaha as the
favored ones. For instance, from
Lincoln, by way of Fremont to
Sioux City. From Lincoln by way
of Valparaiso northwest through
Platte county to the Niobrara, thus
connecting with a Sioux City road
and the lumber regions, supplying
eastern, central and southern Ne
brasks with cheap lumber.
One of the ostensible objects of
the U. p, when the scheme was
presented to Columbus business men
was that it would give US an addi-
tionsl line of transportation for our
products and lumber as cheap as it
could possibly be furnished, and We
doubt not when their system Of
roads and crossroads shall have
been completed, Columbus, at the
sOuthward-gOing angle of the U.
p, will be the grand depot for the
gathering of the products of Central
Nebraska, the distributing point for
the immense quantities of lumber
that will be used, and the busy center
Of manufacture fer supplying what
is needed in this magnificent agri-
cultural region. No scheme of roads
uniting Omaha and Sioux City will
interfere with the ultimate cOnstruc-
ton of q road from Sioux City into
the heart Of the State at Columbus.

The following extract OF a long
interview with Schuyler Colfax, on
Zach. Chandler. contains what he
has to say about his drinking habits :
while Mr.. Chandler was not a

enjoyed dinner parties and social
occasions exceedingly, and at these
drank wine moderately. But he
always went from the table to his

During my term as presiding officer
of the senate there was at no time a
more clear headed senator in that
