Omaha will soon be a highly moral city. The mayor says the saloon-keepers must pay a fulljyear's license in advance, unci that the gambling houses must all close at once, while the ministers of the city are preaching a crusade against Sun day base bull. One remarkable result showing the improved moral tone of the city is already discernable. The people and press have discovered the drinking water is muddy. Council Bluffs had a big time the Fourth. They had the races, and then they had the news that the Secretary of "War had signed the permit giying the Omaha and Council Bluffs Bridge Co. the right to build a wagon bridge across the Missouri. The enthusiasm of the people passed all ordinary bounds and they went in for a big time and had it. They burned more fireworks and made more noise than any city in Iowa. Tub Burlington Hawkeye of June 27, contains a "part 2" devoted to showing up the advantages of the "Western Nor mal college of Shenandoah. Extracts are taken from papers all over the state of Iowa and they uniformly speak in highest commendation of the college and its surroundings. The institution is one of the best of its class in the west and is certainly worthy the praise which the ex tracts alluded to show are so bountifully bestowed. The Railway Age gives Statistics showing that in the first six months of this year track-laying has been going on in 37 of the 47 states and terri tories of the union. Track has been laid on 230 different lines of railroad aggre gating 3.754 miles. It is a remarkably healthy showing and has only been sur passed in the number of miles laid, once, in 1882, when almost 5,000 were laid during the same period. The state show ing best is Kansas with G92 miles of track laid on 17 different lines of road, fol lowed by Texas with 4S9 miles, the In diatn territory with 433 miles, and Nebras ka fourth with 331 miles laid by five dif ferent lines of railroad. That grand old traitor Jeff Davis has emphasized hi3 denial of the letter ac credited to him saying the flags should not be returned by writing one to the Baltimore Sun in which he plainly says they should be. He says to retain them would be equivalent to renewed exulta tion and then adds: "Our men fought for a principle, and that they haye not surrendered, but rather hopelessly lived to see the good sense of northern men re vert to the teachings of their sires, and reestablish the government according to the constitution on which it was founded. That is the only victory which would bj to them and their children, a thing to be prized and glorified." There is only one exclamation in current use in America that is appropriate for the occasion. It is, "Rats!" Keep up the Improvements We do not know how much truth there is in the rumors that are afloat of new enterprises coming to locate in this city. But it is certain it is to the interest of the city and every resident in it that every such enterprise be made to feel it will find a cordial welcome amongst us if it "will but ccme here. Our many advan tages of location and surroundings should be shown in their proper light to all visi tors. And above all we should show our own confidence in our city's future by going steadily ahead with the improve ments in hand and proposed. The es tablishing of so excellent a system of wa ter works was a good beginning, we count as certain the carrying of the sewer amd paving bonds, and with these im provements completed tthere is hardly a city of our siza in the west that can offer equal advantages to the manufacturer or business man seeking a location in which to establish himself. We do not need to "boom" the city but to show up what we have and what our surroundings are; then there will come such an impetus of new life and growth, and general pros perity, that it will surprise the most san guin of us. Let our citizens continue the works of improvement. The Fourth. The telegraphic dispatches inform U3 that hardly ever in the history of the country has our great national holiday been so generally observed as on last Monday. This is as it should be. As our country grows in wealth and power, remaining in a state of prosperous peace, we do well to joyfully celebrate the an niversary of the day on which our an cestors courageously declared their inde pendence and set about the perfection and maintenance of an independent government founded on the great princi ples of equality of mankind and free government. From the first the country grew and prospered, but never, in its previous history, has it been so marked as since the one great stain of slavery that belied our declarations and our teachings has been blotted out. It is probably not an exaggeration to say that in every country where civilized man lives, the day has been observed by greater or less numbers of our citizens who are abroad. Among those of them who have gone to live abroad for years at a time there is no day in the year they look forward to with as much pleasure, and for which they plan such general observance as do they for this of their country's independence. There is that about the associations of the day that takes them back to their old homes " in the States," and which renews in them that love and pride of country which has come to be so characteristic to Americans. This universal observance of the day shows how great must be the benefits that have come to us through the act which it commemorates, and is but a fit ting tribute to the wisdom of those who framed it, and to the courage of those who upheld it. May the custom of its observance never become obsolete, but rather let it grow till all the world shall justly acknowledge it the greatest of civil holidays. NEBRASKA NEWS.

Omaha Republican. Mr. Cykus W. Field, of the New York Mail and Express, has done a great deal to elevate the editorial profession by losing $4,000,000 on the New York Stock Exchange. There are very few professions with members who could sus tain such a loss. The editors of Texas, when tliay lose a few thousand at poker, should think of Brother Field, and suck the milk of satisfaction from the facts in his case. Qlobe Dem. Iowa has 99 counties and nearly that many county jails. Of the whole num ber of jails 55 are totally empty and crim inal court expenses, both in town and county courts, have been greatly reduced within the past year. This is o ving al together to the Clark liquor law. If Ne braska prohibitionists want to do some thing that is something they had better make a square and straight fight to en graft that identical statute on Nebraska. Lincoln News. Aftek prowling about through a doz en eastern exchanges with drawn shears and a pencil in his boot with the well defined intention of stealing perchance borrowing something bright or instruc tive for the edification of the readers of The Democrat, the editor of this reliable paper is forced tothe belief that most of the bright editors of the effete east have taken Horace Greeley's advice and moved west. The temptation to steal from any paper east of the Mississippi is very weak, and there are few western editors who would not feel like giving due credit in self-defense. State Democrat. A well in Yukutsk, in Siberia, has been a standing puzzle to scientists for many years. It was begun in 1828, but given up at thirty feet because it was still in frozen earth. Then the Russian accademy of sciences continued for some months the work of deepening the well, but stopped when it reached to the depth ot some 382 feet, when the ground wts still frozen as hard as a rock. In 1884 the accademy had the temperature of the excayation carefully taken at various depths and from the data thus obtained the ground was estimated to be frozen to a depth of 612 feet. As an external cold could cot freeze the earth to such a depth even in Siberia, geologists have concluded that the well has penetrated a frozen formation of the glacial period which has never thawed out. Ex. The Arthur Monument. Funds are being raised in a quiet man ner for a statute of the late President Ar thur, to be erected iu Madison square, this city. It is proposed to spend about $30,000 on the monument. More than half of this money has already been col lected by a committee, of which Cornel ius N. Bliss is chairman. The remainder will be raised, it is expected, within a month. In this city, where his worth was known and appreciated long before lie went to Washington, the subscriptions have naturally been most freely made. In fact, the project for a monument in this city arose from the fact that several thousand more than was necessary was subscribed for a monument in the Albany cemetary, where he is hurried. The sur plus was then made the nucleus for a fund for a monument in this city, and it will not be may days before the entire amount is subscribed. New York Correspondent Philadelphia Press.
