THE Denver Tribune is again ~agitating
the subject of the removal of the mill
tary headquarters of the department of
the Platte from Omaha to Denver. 1t
says that the officers at Omaha are unan-
imously in favor of moving 'from the
side of the murky waters of the Missouri
to the more genia. climate of the Queen
City of the Plains" The Tribune is
simply wasting Its time in trying to raise
the hopes of the people of Denver that
such a removal will take place. The
statement that the officers here are una
imously il favor of moving to Denver is
q falsehood. The officers located here
are liable to removal to other points, from
time to time, but the headquarters will
remain here. The Tribune seems to
forget that Omaha is the natural location
for the headquarters of the department
of the Platte. Furthermore, Fort
Omaha and the government corral or
depot are permanent establishments, and
have their influence in retaining the head
quarters here. There is no more likeli-
hood of the military headquarters being
moved to Denver than there is of the
removal of the headquarters of the Union
Pacific or b. e M.

without gloves and contrary to all pugi-
listic rules, 1t will be remembered that
Lovejoy came from the east as a railroad
reformer, and the result of his manage
ment Of the Rio Grande property is to be
found in the fact that the road defaulted
the July interest on its bonds and a re-
ceiver has been appointed. Lovejoy sig
nalized the close of his career by tearing
up one mile of the road where it joins the
Denver & Rio Grande Western, in spirit
of spleen because the latter road, being
operated under q lease, would 1ot
knuckle down to his whims. Speaking
of his rise and fall the Denver Opinion
says: 'The probabilities are that Presi-
dent Lovejoy, of the Rio Grande, will
never come back. In any event, he will
not come back as president.
"He has been a lamentable illustration
of the folly of placing IN ass in a place of
power. At no time has he known my
thing about the road. Utterly ignorant
as q railroad man, he has deprecated the
property to an extraordinary extent.
frequently in a state of beastly i~ntoxica-
ton, he has been unable to devote ever
the small intelligence he may be possessed
of in his sober moments to its affairs. He
has been the most disastrous fizzle in the
railroad history of this country.
"His order to tear up the track of his
road is an illustration of his theory of
fighting. An ordinary president would
have been content with having the track
washed away through his own ignorance
and carelessness. He would not wish to
add to the damage by hiring men to steal
money from the stock and bond holders
by committing malicious mischief. Mr..
Lovejoy appears to be an ass of origin
atty, however. He has a fertility of
idiocy. Or, perhaps, he was drunken
than usual when he sent the dispatch to
rob the stockholders by destroying their
property.
SIT is about time hat those who have
money in the company should rid them
selves of this failure. The suddenness
of his elevation lost him what little head
he had and he has been running on the
remnant ever since. The sooner he is
driven out of control the better it will be
for the Colorado and for the Rio rande."

A RECENT telegram to the New York
Herald from Mexico states that the nom
nation of Cleveland is received with
great satisfaction by the MexicanS. This
must be very pleasing news to Mr..
Cleveland. He now has the support OF
the British lion and the Mexican greaser.
The Mexican greaser is laboring under
the impression that Blaine will invade
and capture his country. Immediately
after Mr.. Blaipe's nomination a Mexican
paper advised the utmost vigilance on the
part of the national guard, the arming OF
private citizens and preparations to pre-.
vent the threatened invasion by the
plumed knight. 1t is probably for the
same reason, If the truth could be known,

Contract Labor,

The Million.
The bill prohibiting the importation Of
foreign laborers under contract to work
for a stated time at stated wages, or pay.
ing their ocean passage, has passed the
house.
The spirit of this bill is right. 1t Is
the first attempt at any real protection
to the American w~orkingmen. 1t does
not forbid any of Gods creatures from
seeking a home in any portion of His
domains. 1t will, if successful, simply
prevent an unnatural migration, now
carried on to the detriment of earlier set.
tiers and the arrangement of the social
organizations naturally growing upamong
them.
This unnatural, congested migration is
like the slave trade or the coolie imigra-
ton, a thing to be deprecated without
prejudice to natural migration.
gave all believe in the payment of the
public debt. But those who have stud
led the matter most carefully are con
WINGED that a too rapid payment of pub
lie debts, especially when, as is our case
the debt is interviewer into the business
of the country, is injurious.
But while this unnatural migration is
a bad thing, and while the trainers of the
law against it mean well, and may do
some good, we fear that they have under
taken a big job. There are some things
which plainly ought to be done if pos
sible, which are yet provokingly impossl-
BILE. There are others which plainly
ought to be done if convenient-that ia,
if their doing would not involve collat.
eral damages of injustice equal to or
greater than the benefits and rights to be
conserved.
We very much fear, while hoping for
the best, that in one of these two classes
will fall the attempt to restrict the i'm.
portatlon of laborers. 1t may be down
right impossible; 1t may be only inexpe-
dent.
For one thing, certainly, it will griev-
ously disappoint Its friends. The labor
imported under contract is only a tithe
OF what comes in, to compete with amer
lean labor. There are a thousand other
ways OF unnaturally stimulating immigra-
ton, which are beyond the reach of law.
And if not one of them were used, cheap
ocean passage, increasing war burdens
and other burdens in Europe,
and increasing population there,
breeding social disturbances, all taken
together, will inevitably force upon us
for years to come an immigration which
it will be idle to attempt to stem.
So while We welcome any attempt to
do what seems feasible in that direction,
We are satisfied that the protection of the
~workingmsn, or the farmer, to amount
to anything, is an utter impossibility.
1t is because we realize this im~possibility
that we so hate the injustice and coarse
meannesa of a protection which from tina
very nature Of the case 8must be one
sided.

BILL0USNESS.

Bilious symptoms invariably
arise from indigestion, such as furred
tongue, vomiting of bile, giddiness,
sick headache, irregular bowels. The
liver s~ecretes the bile and acts like a
filter or sieve, to cleanse impurities
of the blood. BY irregularity in its
action or suspensions of its functions
the bile is liable to overflow into the
blood, causing jaundice, sallow COM
plexion. velloweyes bilious diarrhea,
a languid, weary feeling and many
other distressing symptoms. Bill
iousness may pc properly termed an
affection of the liver, and can be
thoroughly cured by the grand reg.

A COMPARATIVE statement of the guam
tity of food and liquid consumed at the
Palmer house during the two national
conventions, shows that the democrats
nobly maintained their reputation as the
greater drinkers. During the democratic
convention the quantity of whisky con-
sumed never ran below 30 gallons a day
atthe Palmerhouse Sc, and on the nomination
of Cleveland 60 gallons of the stuff found
its way into bourbon outlets. During
the republican convention only 30 gal
Ions a day were consumed at the Palmer.
These statistics will no doubt have a
valuable bearing OIL the campaign. They
will be referred to with pride by Petro-
leum V. Nasty at the Confedrit X Roads.

WE havo always been III favor of all
the public improvements that the city

mourning liabilities which we cannot
meet. 1t is not desirable that our war

they lay for the state capitol of Nebraska
They laid a cornerstone when the left
wing of the capitol was begun. Then they
laid a cornerstone when the right wing
was commenced. Now they have laid a
cornerstone for the center. If another
addition is built we presume another
cornerstone will be laid with great cere-
mony. The last cornerstone we are told
was taken from Stout's limestone quarry
at South Bend, and was cut and dressed
at the penitentiary. The names Of the
artists who dressed the stone were not
engraved upon it; but the names of the
boss and the penitentiary contractor were

THE New York Herald publishes a
map showing the paths followed by the
cholera during its several visits in this
country. In 1882 cholera came from
Ireland to Quebec, and thence to Mon.
treal, Kingston, Buffalo, Detroit, Chica'
60, st. Louis, up the Ohio river to Gin
~cinnati, and down the Mississippi river
to New Orleans. In 1848 it anne from
Havre to New Orleans. then proceeded
up the Mississippi river to Sc. Louis and
overland by the emigrant route to Leav-
enworth, Fort Laramie, through the
south pass to Salt Lake City, San Fran
cisco and Sacramento, and also up the
Ohio river to Cincinnati. In 1854 it
came to New York from England, France
and Germany and was distributed through
the United States. In 1866 it came
to New York from England, France
and Germany and was carried to Albany,
Buffalo, Detroit, Cincinnati, st. Louis,
Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans and
all other principal cities and towns in the
United States. 1t was also carried to
the Indian Territory, along the route of
the Union Pacific, then building. In
1873 it came to New Orleans from Hayre,
Bremen and Hamburg, and was carried
up the Mississippi river to Memphis,
Vicksburg, st. Louis, Chicago, and up
the Ohio river to Cincinnati, Wheeling
md Pittsburg, and almost to Philadel-
rhia and New York. The episode OF
1854 followed the same course as that OF
lSCG.
