the duties on imports should be levied

should be met by resort to internal
taxes. Browne, OF Indiana, EXPRESSED
himself not in the least frightened ut the

treasury. This was not the first time
there had been surplus, but neither
johnson, Grant nor Arthur had made
the condition of the treasury pretense
for disturbing the industrial policy Of
the government. The country CON
tinued to enjoy unparalleled prosperity
At the evening session of the house the
tariff debate was opened by Shaw, of
Maryland, who advocated the clause of
the bill which placed tan plate ON the

length in support of the bill, and at

xIoBRARA rs INDTGxANE
A Vigorous Protest against ute Removal Of
the Land Office.

A rigorous Protest against the RenH0paI of
the LaRd Office.
Washington special to the Omaha
Herald: General Joseph Holman and
State Senator Bonesteel, of Niobrara,
arrived in this city to-day and protested
against the removal of the land office
from Niobrara to O'NeiIl. The first
notice that the Nebraska senators had
of the action on the part of the execu-
tive in ordering the removal was a para
graph which they read in the dispatches
a few days ago. Since that time they
have received great many letters and
kilograms from parties in and near Mo
brara, protesting against the removal
and urging them to use their influence
with the president to induce him to re-
woke the order. In response they
waited on the secretary of the interior a
day or two ago, as well as on the pres
ldent, calling his attention to the dis
patches received. The secretary said
he knew nothing of the order beyond
the rumor and that he thought that the
action of the executive in making the
transfer without consulting with the
senators or the representative In the
house from the district in which Mo
brara was situated was somewhat nasty
and unprecedented.
Considerable correspondence has taken
place between Senator Henderson and
the secretary Of the interior in relation
to this subject, but as yet nothing nag
come of it. The order has been issued,
and it is possible that it will not be re.
voked, although it is barely possible
that the gentlemen who have come from
Niobrara to express their views may be
able to induce the officials to withhold
action for some time. 1t is urged that
the opening of the great Sioux reserva-
ton will make it particularly desirable
that the land office should be retained
at Niobrara, and parties from that sec
ton will use every effort at their dis
posal to induce the president to modify
his order. at least in SO far as to permit
some OF the existing contests before the
land officers to be settled before it takes
effect
