THE REMOVAL OF THE PRESI.
DENT.

The decision of the physicians to
remove the president from Washing
ton comes non too soon. There is
unfortunately little doubt that his
recovery has been seriously retarded
by the malarious atmosphere of the
White House, and that weeks of pain
and suffering might have been avoided
if the patient early in the a
had been removed to some
more healthful location. The marshy
flats which line tho Potomac
in the ear of the White House arc
particularly unhealthy at this season
of the year, and it has become pain
fully evident that a further subsection
Of President Garfield to their MAS.
matte infu ,nces will prove in the
highest degree dangerous. Arrange.
ments have accordingly been made tc
transfer the president at once to Long
Branch by rail. A car specially fitted
up for the occasion, and in which the
president may recline on his own bed,
will be used. Hard coal will be
burned by the engines, in order tc
avoid smoke, and precaution taken to
render the journey as noiseless and
pleasant rs possible. The Pennsylva,
mia road has also placed at the dis
posal of Mrs. Garfield a special car
and another will be furnished for tn,
medical attendants. Arriving a
Long Branch the president will b,
taken at once to the Elberon hote
cottage, where every arrangement ha
been made for his comfort. The ad
yantages of a cool and bracing sea al
and easy accessibility to the consult
ing physicians cannot be overesti
mated. Great hopes are entertaine,
by the presidents attendants of tn
results which will follow from thi
change of air, and in these hopes tn
whole nation will prayerfully join.

Taxing AZ a text the notice of a
meeting in Omaha to consider the sub
iect, the Norfolk Journal reads the
people Of Omaha 4 healthy lecture III
regard to 'another railroad for the
Elkhorn Valley" But it is labor lost.
If a road could be built from Omaha
direct through the fertile valleys of
the Elkhorn it would be of incalcula-
BILE value to that city, to the people
along its line and to the state at large,
and the commercial interests of Omaha
ought to build it But they won't.
The parties mos intercsted-t the mer.
chants of Omaha will probably never
invest a cent, and the capitalists will
not build it unless they can cajole the
several counties through which it must
pass into donating bonds enough to
defray expenses. If they would,
without any foolishness, build such a
road, without begging for bonds or
building of subsidies they could make
themselves solid with the people and
the road would at once become a pay
ing institution. But this is not the
way the men of Omaha build railroads.
They will most likely advance enough
money to incorporate and survey the
line and then il the people will bond
themselves for money to build with,
these capitalists will kindly construct
and operate the road. Such q road
must necessarily pass through the
heart of this county, and while it
might receive some local aid, a propo-
sition to issue county bonds in laid of it
would be resented almost with indig-
nation by a large majority of the peo-
pie. We have had the Z" bond fever "
here once, and had it bad, so
bad in fact that we have not yet
quite recovered, and it is no way
likely that our people will again
expose themselves to this dangerous
contagion. While we would like to
see this line built, we would likely
reason that VIC are not suffering for it,
but that Omaha would be the princi-
pal gamer and should, if she wants it,
build it without our assistance. Omaha
has the means to put such a railroad
through to Yankton, Niobrara, or
some point further west, and could
operate it with profit; but her CAPT
talists are too much inclined to build
roads on other mems capital. If they
can do this and own the road when
completed, there is hope of its being
built, but they will hardly be content
to invest their own means and receive
only a Legitimate profit on the invest
ment. 1t is so much more pleasant to
clear the whole Investment first, on
which a good profit may be realized
for all future time. These + some
of our reasons for thinking that this
road will not be built at present.
Meantime Sioux City will continue to
capture the bulk of the Elkhorn Val
ley trade.

EVERY public cistern in Omaha
shouli be kept constantly filed. As
long as the water works are operated
by direct pressure, there will be dan
ger of pipes bursting and a stoppage
of the water supply, when it is most
needed. In fact, prudence would die
tate that the public cisterns should
supply the water needed to put out
fires until the storage reservoirs on
the Lowe farm are completed and
capable of giving us fire protection by
grayitation. 1t will be very little
trouble to fill the public cisterns from
the fire hydrants whenever the water
pipes are in good condition. Our re.
cent experience with bursting pipes is
precisely what was predicted last year
by the opponents of direct pressure,
but that sill be remedied permanent.

cured by grayitation from the storage

The fears of an impending panic
are not borne out by the statistics OF
the years foreign ,rade which has just
been issued from the Bureau of Sta
%tistics. Our imports for the year
amounted to S642, 664, G2S, and the
exports to 1888, 015, 947, making a
total of 81, 53G, $50, $40, which was ali
increase of about $50, 900, 600 over the
previous year. 1t will be noted with
satisfaction that the balance of trade
in our favor was over 5000, DOC, 600.
The falling off in imports was large
amounting to over pa, DOC, goo, while
the increase in domestic exports is
officially stated at 500, SOS, 594. 1t is
gratifying to note that the falling off
in our imports was largely i'll articles
of Injury, which adds little to the
wealth of the nation and do not in
crease its productive capacity. In
certain lines of manufactured goods
there was an increase of imports.
Cotton goods increased about a million
dollars, manufactures of jute some
six millions, while there was
q decrease in manufactures
of steel and iron, of tin plate and of
wooden goods. OF the total domestic
exports, breadstuffs, provisions of
various kinds, raw cotton, tobacco and
petroleum. constituted nearly seven
eighths of the whole, amounting to
1927 900, 00O. But cur country also
held her own IS an exporter of manu-
features, exporting cotton goods ex-
ceeding $13, 500, 900 in value and iron

FARMERS AND MECHANICS.

If you wish to avoid great danger
and trouble, besides a no small bill of
expense, at this season of the year,
you should take prompt steps to keep
disease from your household. The

and prevent and cure diseases arising
from spring malaria. We know of

By APACHEs.

The report that General Carr, with
seven subordinate officers and
ITO privates Of the 18th U. S
cavalry regiment, have been mastered
by the Apaches, is fully confirmed by
our latest dispatches. This whole
sale butchery of American soldiers is
almost without a parallel in the his
tory of Indian warfare. When Red
Cloud and his band ambushed and
m~assacred Col. Fetterman and ninety
soldiers in the Powder river country
in 1867, the Sioux were
known to be on the war.path,
and Col. Fettermsn was moving
to intercept sand punish them.
General Custer and bis brave 800
who were killed by Sitting Bull on
the Little Missouri, fell while fighting
the Indians who had been recklessly
pursued into their camp in n ravine
where they bad made a stand. The
killing of Clusters command in a
strict ser.se could hardly be called a
massacre, because they were the at
tackjug party and fell in a desperate
hard to hand conflict with hostile In
dams. The Massacre of Gen. Carr
and his soldiers by a band of Apache
that had until recently been a
peace is II OF f.ht
most atrocious crimes 'tha
has ever been perpetrated by treaJher
Gus savages. According to report s tina,
have so far reached us, the murlleroui
attack was precipitated by Apach'
scouts whom General Carr had en-
listed in his command, and this fea
ture indicates that General Carr an,
his men have fallen victims to u con
spiracy like the plot which achieve,
the murder of General Candy by tn
Modocs. A most interesting descr1p
ton of the Apaches, their habits an,
the region they roam in, is fur
} nished to a reporter of THE Be
by General Cryok, who is repute,
as by all Odds the most success

the Apaches in the Army
General Crook was, we believe, tn,

Apaches feared and were disposed Il

warfare and their qualities as fighters
The massacre of General Cars com
mand will necessitate prompt retail
%liation by the government and tn,
thorough and lasting s%ubjugation o.
the whole tribe. Whether the mas
sacre was the result of u concerted
plot or an unprecedented outbreak
there IAN be ne doubt that it is the
signal for n general uprising among
the Apaches.
General Crook estimates the fight.
ing strength of the White Mountain
Apaches at 1900, and there are grave
fears that they will be joined by the
other bands who altogether can mus.
ter fully G,000 warriors-more active,
formidable and intelligent than any
Indians on the continent. To wag,
successful war against such a fore,
it will take fully one-half o
the American army, which number
altogether less than 20, 900 men. Ever
then it will be very hazardous unless
they are commanded by an officer o
superior skill and tact as an Indiar
fighter. The whole country, but es
pecially the people west of the Mis-
fouri river will await further develop
ments with great deal of anxiety.

WITH the proposed removal of Pres
ident Garfield to Long Branch, the
question of disabilityforces itself upon
the cabinet. Our dispatches fore
shadow some decisive action during
the present week. 1t is intimated
that the cabinet, in view of the urgent
necessity of executive action in GER
tain matters that cannot be deferred
much longer, have resolved to submit
an official inquiry to the presidents
physicians as to the time which they
believe will have to elapse be-
fore he can resume the duties of
his office. The answer of the
physicians will, it is stated, be
reported to the president, who there
upon will issue an official notification
of his disability to Vice President
Arthur, with the request that he shall
assume the duties devolving upon the
president, and exercise them during
the period which the doctors fix rs
the probable time required tor tn,
presidents recovery. In case the
president does not GOV within thai
period, the time for his resumption
of official duty will be extended. This

That Collision.

The following very explicit account of
the collision on the Minneapolis & St.
Louis road is published by the Telegram.
1t shows that the road is certainly man
aged very awkwardly:
No So train going out has right to
the road. No. 80 coming in with Presi-
dent Washburn's palace car attached had
orders to run to East Minneapolis, regard
less of No. Sc. No orders were issued
las there should have been) for No. Sc to
hold at East Minneapolis for No. SO. 1t
seems that No. SO left on time, and it be-
ing very foggy on and near the marsh a
fearful collision took place on the down
grade near Stanchfield's farm. The night
train dispatcher should have given or
ders to the conductor and engineer of No
Sc to hold at East Minneapolis till the ar
rival of No 80. After discovering his
errer he sent out the switch engine to
catch No SO, but unfortunately too late
to prevent the catastrophe. Our railroad
informant says that the reason the en-
gineers and tiremen of the respective en-
gines were not some of them killed or in
jured badly was. the fact they have be-
come so accustomed to frequent collisions
that the boys slide off their engines like
creased lightning without taking any
chances
