it is making The erich richer and the poor
poorer" II cannot be possible that the
Armours realize what great harm they
are doing the people when run their cor
ners on grain and provisions. We be-
lieve they mean to be good citizens; they
were raised on u farm in this state: were
poor boys, who. by legitimate business,
made money. They are now transacting
a large trade that pays handsome profits
yearly, being strictly in the line Of honest
business and of service to the labUring
classes, when done on a large scale, 80 as
to cheaper good products instead of max
ing them higher. But when they attempt
to rig the market so as TO unduly in.
crease their already overlooking Golfers
they are committing a positive sin. We
hope, for their own credit, for the good
of the laboring classes, that they will let
such foreigners as the Fowlers and
McGeoch, and that ilk, have that field to
themselves, and not have it said that
native-bsrn Americans are rigging the
provision markets in such a way as to
compel every poor man to- take from his
hard-earned wages a few eiDpes each and
every day, in order that ii may be said
the Armours were worth a few millions
more than they otherwise wceld have
been. Now we hive alword to cay to our
bankers n money lenders. IL you will
not lend money to rash spectators, you
will be doing a goo6 work in the interest
of consumers; for when u corner is
attempted no set % men have e,,otIgh
money to carry it thuyugh without Dor.
rowing largely of bankers. Don't, there
fore, lead them ever on good collateral
1t will surely react somewhere; for a
corner is only startsd to ''aeece the
lambs, and some of yoar customers, 10
whom you are giving cpedit, may have
been led into speculation, and if they get
''heeced," the chances ars you will lose.
Now, if every banker will resolve not to-
loan any mooney to a man Sr set of men
engaged in ''rigging the market" or
trimming a corner on food products, it
will curtail their power to do's great deal
of harm, for nome of them, ncr any com
bination of them, have enough money of
their own to centrol the great staples of
this country If this could bs done, it
would be-a ''hiyIaer law" than any that
could be passed by our law makers.

crook return.

General Crook returns to us ON a fly.
ing visit after nearly ten months abserce
from this city and the military depart
ment Of which he was so long the honor
ed head. 1t is a matter Of regret that
the Generals stay in Omaha is limited to
the space between two days. He is
is hurrying on to Washington to explain
his Indian policy to Secretaries Lincoln
and Teller, both Of whom seem greatly
i'll need of enlightenment. When George
Crook left Omaha last summer it was
notorious that the change was made with
the express view Of having the Apache
trouble settled in the shortest possible
time. And there was no question as to
who was the proper mel to do it. But
in the campaign, in the council, no
American soldier is the equal of General
Crook rs an Indian fighter.
General Crooks many friends in this
department have watched with gratifica-
ton his operations in the department of
Arizona during the past ten months.
They have seen the same shrewdness, ga
gacity and practical common sense that
marked his campaigns and conferences
with the Sioux put into operation with
the Apaches. And, as a browning test of
the generals commanding abilities, they
have noted with pleasure the brilliant
close to his Mexican expedition in which
the arts of the diplomat and the skill of
the successful soldier were happily COM
bined.
The General goes to Washington backed
by the petitions of all Arizona and the
earnestrecommendation of General Scho-
field that he may be allowed to settle in
his own way the Indian question in the
Southwest. What that way is, all who
know General Crook know. To whip in
to subsection the hostiles, and to keep
faith with the peacable Indians, to right
their wrongs and o maintain their rights.
This is Geo. Crooks famous Indian poll
cy which is only remarkable for its sim
plicity and because it is founded on com
mon sense and Justice.
The BEE joins with a host of his Oma-
ha friends in congratulating the General
over his late successes and in wishing him
further victories, and new and well-de-
served honors.

The fight over the office Of chief quar-
ter master made vacant by the retire
ament of General ingalls, has ended by the
appointment of Colonel Holabird for the
succession. This will be a great disa-
pointment to Generals Saxton and Perry
whose frienda have been besieging the
War department for the past six months,
but it will be received with general APP
proval throughout the army in which Col.
Holabird is deservedly popular. Col.
Holabird graduated from West Point in
1849 and served with the First Infantry
until the outbreak Of the rebellion when
he was transferred to the qu~artermasters
department. He was made a lieutenan'
colonel in 1866 and "a colonel on the 22d
of january 1881. His promotion makes

A Blessing to- the Peaple,

American Grocer and Dry Good Chronicle.
Some of the Chicago provision gamblers
have failed, and We hope so utterly that
they may never recover, and that IN the
future they may be compelled to earn
them daily bread by the sweat of their
brow. This is not expressed in anger
or in spite, for we do not know one of
them, but it is because of the deep feeling
we have for the good of the people, and
more especially for the welfare of the
laboring classes. 1t is a matter of no
concern to the millions of workingmen
when IA Jay Gould, Russell Sage, or a
Vanderbilt run u corner" on stocks; il
only affects u class of spectators who
are operating in stocks, and whether the
feecrs are spending the money made in
horses, wine and women, or whether thu
hecced are selling out their horses and
obliged to stop drinking wine, it matters
not to the toilers for whom We ar,
working. But when q set Of men max,
up their minds to ''corner" wheat, corn
pork, lard, or any article that is a neces
sity for the working classes, it mean
that every laboring man must pay
higher price for hat article, and that o
his little money earned by hard worl
through the week a portion must go be
cause a McGeoch, or an Armour, or
Fowler has taken into his head to ''ru

sound. These Indians are claimed by
the United States Government as its
wards. They are well known to be dan
gerous 10 the peace Of Mexico. II is the
duty Of the United States to restrain
them. If we fail in that duty and let
them, by our neglect, return to Sonora
and chihuahua, to murder and steal and
burn and destroy, we are ms much respon-
sible in damages ms If we should allow
filbusteTs to fit out an expedition on our
soil to invade Mexico without a reason
able effert TO prevent it. There is n
question, too, whether the Mexican Gov
eminent is NOT by international law en-
titled to the surrender of these captured
Indians on a demand for them. Crook
pursued them into Mexico without the
consent of that Government and il is said
against the protest Of the Mexican Min
lister at Washington. He understood the
delicacy of the situation. He avoided
contact with any body Of Mexican troops
while in Sonora, lest they should demand
the p%risioors. If he had met them and
the demand had been made there is res
son to believe that he would have felt
constrained to give them up would be to
have them all murdered. The fact that
he did not put himself in the way of such
a demand on Mexican soil and that he
succeeded in getting his captives into A
rizona does not estop Mexico from de
handing their surrender hereafter.
Doubtless, from the good feeling existing
between the two republics, the central
Government will forefio it's right in this
case; but that forbearance is another
strong reason why we should take such
certain precautions as will prevent the
escape Of the prisiners and their return
into the Sierra Madres. But there can
be no such thing as sure prevention so
long as the Apaches are kept without q
strong military gaurd on a reservation
so close as San Carlos is to the
of escape. AS a friendly neighbor, it is
the duty of our Government to remove
these savages 80, far from their present
haunts tibet they never can get back into
Mexico again. If we fail in this plain,
duty and the ravages of the Chiricahuas
are repeated in Sonora and chihuahua,
we should not grumble at a demand for
damages hereafter.

A Pertinent Question.

Sun.
A Schuyler correspondent of The Oma-
ha Bee desires to know what has become
of Valentines promise to secure legisla-
requiring the Union Pacific Road to take
out patents on its mseld lands in order
they might be rendered eligible to taxa
ton. The question is pertinent. 1t will
be remembered that when the rmpatented
land question was injected into the late
campaign, Mr.. Valentine expressed the
most profound establishment that there
any such thing as unpatented and
non-taxable land in the state. He was
all torn up with grief over the fact that
this important matter had escaped his at
tention, and hewas profuse with promises
that he should devote the remainder of
his life if necessary toa correction ID the
abuse. Soon after his return to Wash
ington, the information was sent broad
cast that the statesman frosp the third
district had introduced a bill in accord
ance with his campaign promise. In due
course of time the true character of the
bill became public, and the little boom
of enthusiasm that had been worked W
for Mr.. Valentine as an Mti -monopolist,
e~vaporated. Instead of u bill compelling
the road to take out patents on all of it,
unpatented lands, Mr.. Valentine had de
voted his craftsmanship tcthe preparation
of a measure that called for the patentin!
of such lands as were situated in Nebras
,ka. There was no possible expectation
of passing a bill so manifestly un Just, ant
it was doubtless an appreciation of tina

abuse that should be corrected, it apple
alike to all the lands and not alone +
those located in Nebraska, and it is evi
dent that Mr. Valentines bill was mten
ded only as a little dust for anti-mOno
poly eyes. He can use it as a campaig
document in 1884.

TIE new fasttime schedule Of the Unic

The new fasttime schedule of the Union
Pacific road went into effect yesterday,
shortening the time to San Francisco by
twenty-four hours and bringing Nebras-
ka towns from four to six hours nearer to
Omaha. This is the sole benefit that
trans-continental competition through
the b. Il NJ. route has brought to IL
people. 1t has not reduced freight rates
or fares, or decreased the determinations
and other evils of monopoly Still the
people have learned to be thankful for
small favors, and when the time is long
deferred. There is no good reason why
the time on the Union Pacific road
might not have been shortened five
years ago. The road bed and travel
both would have permitted it. The
public demanded the change as much ~
they do now, Unfortunately public con
yenience rarely enters into the calcula
tions of a railroad manager unless ri
val road shows some evidences of bidding
for patronage by recognizing it. Thei
the law of self interest begins b
operate.
The best feature of the new tim
schedule is the increaose of the local SCI
vice by the addition of the Grand Islam
trains which will arrive in Omaha at ia
in the morning, and will leave at 4 40
the afternoon. This will bring Oman
!. into clnser connection with the countr
. along the line of the Union Pacific.
