AN ELoouEST oRATyoN.

The speech OF Hon. Chauncey NJ.
Depew in New York, yesterday, was
eminently worthy OF the great occasion.
It was truly the greatest effort of his
life. Clear-cut, eloquent and historical, +,
1t places him in the front rank of Amer
ican orators. Delivered under the
shadow of the statue OF Washington,
and surrounded by an eager multitude
of patriotic people, he fulfilled the ex-
pectations OF his hearers and readers
and confirmed the wisdom of his selec-
tion.
The occasion did not demand grand
flights of oratory. The simple story of
the struggles of the founders of the
republic, without adornment, is in it.
self, the grandest chapter in human
history. 1t Is the beacon of liberty,
illuminating the paths of the
oppressed in all lands, and emphasizing
the axiom that "he who would be free
must strike the blow" Mr.. Depew
traced in eloquent words the mighty
struggle of the infant colonies against
Great Britain, the darkness and despair
which at times enveloped the conti-
nentals, the hardships and privations
endured that freedom might live, and
the sacrifices cheerfully made that the
new world might enjoy the blessings of
a government by and for the people. 1t
is a story century old, but can not be
told too often. In the wild, nervous
rush OF modern life we are apt to forget
the men and means by which America
achieved its peerless position among
the nations of the earth, and overlook
the patriotic devotion Of those who
threw life and property around the
infant nation. Their valor is n model,
their lives an inspiration for the people
of to-day. In character and deeds they
will live unrivalled in the history of the
world. Surrounding the grand central
figure of Washington, they form 6
picture of unselfish devotion, of gen
erous sacrifice, of valor in field and
forum, and of civil and religious lib
erty which will forever remain the
admiration of mankind.

THE UNION DEPOT.
Vice President Ho,cOmb Speci fies the
Tcrms and "Details. -.----

Vice President Holcomb, of the Union Pa
cific returned from Boston yesterday
where he was in attendance at the annual
meeting of the stockholders and directorate
OF the Union Pacific and also OF a meeting
between the representatives of the Buring-
ton and Union Pacific, called in
connection with the union depot project
for Omaha. As regards the depot project he
said; "All the prcliminaries for the build
ing of the depot BY the Burlington and Union
Pacific at THIS place nave been arranged.
The presidents of the two corporations were
to have met in Boston Monday to conclude
final arrangements. The provision in the
agreement is for the city OF Omaha TO
construct viaduct along Tenth street, to-
gether with approaches. II the city Will do
this then the depot viii be built AS soon as
the deal is consummated, under instructions,

city counci! and let it go before the
people. If we agree in this all Iowa
lines will be invited TO enter Omaha oyer our
bridge either on a pro rata scale or on IA
rental basis. ! am of the opinion that every
thing will result satisfactorily" AS regards
the size and location of the structure, Mr..
Holcombe confirmed the statements of j. 5.

BRICK PAVEME NT.S,

Brick pavement is rapidly coming
into use in a number of western cities.
Several streets in Lincoln and Beatrice
were paved with this material last year
and the results nave been satisfactory,
although the traffic on streets thus
paved was not sufficient to thoroughly
test the durability of the material.
The great objection to brick is the
fact that the article used in western
cities will chip at the edges under
heavy traffic. Once broken the mater
which Is waited about by the winds in
disagrceable clouds. On the other
hand the vItriiied fire brick used IN a
score OF eastern cities has successfully
proved It's utility and durability. Hy-
drauiic tests made Mt Pittsburg and
Cincinnati show that vitrifed brick
resisted pressure OF $4,000 pounds,
while similar cubes OF granite from
different quarries was crushed at pres
sures ranging from 1000 to 10000
pounds. A two-inch square cube OF
seasoned oak was crushed with pres
sure OF 1900 pounds.
The Ohio YolLey .hamgact,ntr vigor-
ously assails and refutes the assertions
of Mr.. John Grant, recently published
in TIE BEE that brick pavement was
failure in all cities where
it had been used, Mr.. Grant quoted
Washington, San Francisco, Galosburg,
H., GAINESVILLE and Steubeuville, O. +,
and Lincoln, Neb., as cities where brick
pavement had proved lamentable fail
ure. The uqnwaet,per asserts that
there was not yard nor brick, OF the
yitriiied clay brick, laid IN either of
those cities, and claims that Grant
grossly misstated the facts in regard to
GAINESVILLE, Steubenyille and Youngs-
town. GAINESVILLE uses vitrifed fire
brick and is increasing her area largely

each year. Her people are entirely
satisfied with IL and will have no other.
In Youngstown, n large section of brick
pavement was torn up because the
material was soft an porous and vitri-
fed fire brick substituted. Steuben-
vile has experimental with brick pave
ment for five years and the results have
been so satisfactory that the entire city
will be paved with that material.
There is no reason to doubt that
vitrifed fire brick is one Of the coming
paving materials. The fact that the
boards OF public works of Buffalo,
Cleveland, Pittsburg, Toledo and Phila-
delphia have recommended it is strong
proof of its durability. Philadelphia
will lay 100000 fire brick in the
streets this year. The material is
cheaper in those cities than granite or
cobble stones, makes an even surface,
and relieves the residents of the deaf
eniug rattle of traffic on hard, uneven
pavements.
The property owners on several
streets in Omaha are now Investigating
the advantages of brick for pavement,
and, in all probability, some sections of.
the city will be paved with that ma
terial this year. 1t is important, there
fore, that the best material should be
selected. If brick of the rec lired hard
ness can be produced at home at reason
able cost, it would be to the interest OF
the city to encourage and patronize the
industry. Any material which will
overcome the mania for wooden blocks
would be n 'deliverance from decay and
dry rot which false economy has spread
over miles OF the best streets in the
city. TIE BEE does not want to be
understood as recommending vitriie d
brick for pavements, but considers it
worthy of an experiment.

EXTRA SESSION TALK.

Reports proceeding from Washington
regarding an extra session of congress,
to be called probably in October, con-
tinue to be made, though there is moth
ing more definite upon which to base
them than the general proposition that
a special session will be necessary in
order to prevent any delay in organic
ing the next congress, which, owing to
the small republican majority and the
number of candidates for the speaker
ship may be a good deal of a
struggle. 1t is felt to be desira-
BILE that the organization of the
house, so far at least as the
election of speaker is concerned,
ought to be effected in advance of the
regular session, and doubtless this is
the correct view. With the house fully
organized before the meeting in De-
cember, it would be in position. when
the regular session begun, to imme-
diately take hold of the economical
questions which it will be peculiarly
the duty of the next congressito deter
mine, and which it is desirable for
all interests shall be settled as
speedily as possible. The admins
tration has not thus far found the
surplus especially perplexing. 1t is
dealing with the matter intelligently,
and to the advantage both of the treas
ury and the public interests, but it is
quite possible that it may encounter OBJ
stacles in the future, and hence the i'm
portance of congressional action that
will prescribe regular and safe course.
There is reason to believe that Presi-
dent Harrison fully appreciates the de-
mands OF the situation, and that
he acquiesces in the view of
Senator Allison and other leading re-
publicans regarding the eXpediency of
calling an extra session at least in Octo-
ber. There does not appear to be any
danger to the finances of the country
between now and then resulting from
an accumulation OF the surplus, as it
appears to be the purpose of the admin
istration to handle the financial affairs
of the government so that the interests
of business shall not suffer, but at the
same time there is an evident desire
to avoid all unnecessary delay on the
part Of the next congress in re-arrang-
ing the fiscal system on basis that
will be permanent at least during the
present administration. A more or
less prolonged discussion will be neces-
sary to accomplish this, and hence the
expediency of gaining time for this
and other matters of practical legisla-
tion by calling an extra session, in
which the house will at least be enabled
to complete its organization.

Omaha TO claim any business relation
with that settxon. This very generous
and unselfish advice comes from source
which evinces alarm at the revival OF
the Omaha & Yankton railroad scheme.
While Sioux Cit&is wasting breath in
vain effort to furnish market for the
products of the thriving Missouri river
counties, Omaha is turning their pork
and beef and corWinto cash, and supply
ing the people with manufactured neces-
saries and luxi,rles of life. And this
city will continue ito supply nine-tenths
OF the business of that region. Even IL
Omaha could be shut out of northeast
Nebraska bys any possible COM
!quation, the enterprising peo-
pie of Norfolk would drive
Sioux City out OF the field. The former
possesses the capital, the energy and
the grit to get there, while Sioux City's
enterprise is limited to mad desire to
consume Covingtou whisky. There is
no danger that the latter will make
much progress in Nebraska. Aslong as
the barrels and kegs are flowing on the
west banks of the river, she will tarry
there and soak herself.

New York, April 30 Special Telegram
to THE BEE. THE Herald's Washington DIS
patch says: Secretary Blaine went out drv-
ing for little while Monday afternoon with
his wife. He was well wrapped IN corner
of the close carriage, with u big plaid rug
folded snugly about him and a comfortable
soft hat pulled down over his forehead. He
looked bad, and the increased pallor of his
face shows the pain he has suffered The
confinement Of the last four days has had
q marked effect When he came here early
in the winter Mr.. Blaine took long walks
every day, and did little driving. Since he en-
tered the state department all that has been
changed. He is no longer able to
indulge in the necessary exercise of
walking. He has driven to the department
between 10 and IL every morning and left
it late in the afternoon. Generally Mrs.
Blame has joined him for drive, from which
they would return by 6 O'Clock. For the last
month he has found it necessary, often
alighting from the carriages to pace rapidly
up and down Fifteenth street for a square or
so near his hotel to quicken the circulation of
the blood in his limbs. Mr.. Blaine takes
every precaution in regard to his health, and
he submits every day to the vigorous treat
ment of a massage rubber, and is as timber
as an atheete after it, only to find a few
hours later that it's good effects gradually
lessen.

An Incipient Riot Between Soldier
and Negroes in New York

NEW YORK, April 30.-iSpecial Telegram
to The BEE. While President Harrison
was shaking hands in the Equitable building
yesterday afternoon, some colored citizens in
the neighborhood of Wooster and Houston
streets, celebrated the day by humping
Pennsylvania soldiers over the head, and for
a while 1t looked as if the glorious anniver-
sary would end in miscellaneous riot The
trouble arose out of Il casual remark of an
enthusiastic private from Cline county,
Penn sylvania, whose company is quartered
with many others in the large building at
at Green and Houston streets. He accosted
colorcd damscl and she, taking offense, a
brawny champion with fist the size and
color of smoked ham, invited the soldier
boy to battle. They went at it in n lively
fashion, give and take. Sympathizers of both
men made up the large crowd which col
lected about them and several outside
wrangles were the result The soldiers
comrades, hearing that he was being NAL
treated, swarmed out of their quarters and
charged the crowd surrounding the fighters.
The negro fighter was hustled into a house
by his friends and it looked for moment as

WHILE Pennsylvanians were engaged

WHILE Pennsylvanians were engaged
in giving practical significance to Arbor
day, last week, the Legislature seriously
discussed bill which, if it becomes
law, will level the remaining pine and
hemlock forests of the state. The bill
proposes to place all streams not exceed
ing twenty miles in length in the cate
CORY of navigable highways, for the
purpose of floating saw logs to the mills.
The destructive floods which have raw
aged the Allegheny valleys in the
past years is a warning that should be
needed. If the destruction of forests is
not checked, the consequences will be
serious, if not destructive, to the inter-
ests of the people.

THE determination of the Union Pa

will be highly appreciated by the peo-
pie along the road as we'll as at Omaha
There is every reason. to believe that
the company will be encouraged by the
local traffic to extend this service at
least as far as Grand Island.
This would enable the people along
the line for distance of hundred and
fifty miles west to come to Omaha,
transact their business ard return home

relations between the cities and the
metropolis of the state will soon make
such local accommodation trains an alb

II is terrible story of disappoint-
ments, hardships and impositions which
THE BEES special correspondent graph
ically describes in Oklahoma. But that
Is just what might have been expected.
When men go crazy over a wildcat
scheme, whether it be in farm lands,
mining enterprises, or town lots, there
are tens of thousands of dupes who sac
rifice their all to one individual, who
makes stake on the venture. From
the first the Oklahoma movement was
badly managed. But, worse than this,
the soil is unfit for agriculture, the cli-
mate Is bad, and the chances for an hon
est man to get foothold among desper-
ADDE'S and land-grabbers is small indeed.
All this was set forth through the press
of the country. The leading papers
took pains to spread the news that Okla
homa was no land flowing with milk
and honey. The man who left COM
Portable home to take his chances in
that wilderness has, therefore, no one
but himself to blame for his foolhardi-
ness.
