Democrats in congress are , as bns
been their custom for generations ,
proving themselves excellent obstruc
tionists. An observer of their proceed
ings has declared that when yon find n
democrat with constructive tendencies
he ifl not n good democrat.
The Omaha jobbers have been making
merry with their customers in the south
half of the state , If the north Platte
country had a little better conueotion
with St. Joe and Kansas City the Omaha
wholesalers might see the advantage oi
making un occasional visit to this part
of the state.
In his candid admission that the
American Sugar Refining company hns
undertaken to dispose ofthe beet sugar
industry as a dangerous rival , it is con
ddered that President Havemeyer has
made a good opening1 for the prosecu
tion of his company nuder the fedora
law for violation of the Sherman law in
restraint of trade. It is evident that he
talked too much and injured rather than
benefited his company.
There is one fact in connection witl
this trnst question that those opposed to
gnch combinations are inclined to over
look , which is that in order to make
money the people must have money to
bny their products and their greates
prosperity naturally depends on the
greatest prosperity for the people
They can no more squeeze blood from a
turnip than can a single individual o
company , and it stands them in baud to
eee that the source of their wealth i
nnimpared by favoring methods by
which the common citizen may profit to
the greatest degree.
At last night's council meeting Mayo
3 oeuigstein , inentering , the year , pre
eonto'l a message reviewing the condi
tious , post , present and future of tb
city. He felicitates the city upon it
improving financial condition and th
work that has been done toward its bet
termeut during the past year and make
lorne recommendations that will receiv
lie hearty approval of the people gen-
rally. Ho recommends that the ordi-
auces bo revised and published in
bookform and , considering that they
voro last printed almost a decade ago ,
ho necessity for such revision and
printing is apparent. Many of the ordi *
nances in the old book are now obsolete
and many new and important ones since
mssed are nqt available for reference by
ho pnblio. The necessity for a
jornianent gutter down either side of
Jain street is also apparent. . During
he-fall , winter and spring- mouths the
need of .such improvement is especially
pronounced ) The mud holes should be
eliminated from in front of the business
louses and inasmuch as the business
men have shown a purpose of doing
what they can for the betterment of the
street by putting in permanent walks. ,
the city government should do ita share
toward placing the thoroughfare in
proper condition. Thisvwork/has been
; oo long delayed and should be under
taken' at once. Sidewalks should be
built and kept in repair wherever the
reqntremrnts of pedestrians create a suf
ficient demand. . His desire tha.ti the
water commissioner and the engineer at
the , pumpingStation , do , not work at
cross purposes is likewise a worthy one
and on adjustment of possible differ
ences should be undertaken. The light
ing question is pertinent and some set
tlement should bo mode that would be
satisfactory to the people. There is
an unquestioned demand for better
lighted streets but there has been an un
deniable .change in sentiment as to
how the matter should bo settled since
the last bond election. The suggestion
of more thoroughly informing the people
on the subject is a fair ono and those on
either side of the question should be
willing that such knowledge be fur
uishod that will enable them to arrive
at a just conclusion regarding the
matter. It cannot bo hoped ( that there
will bo satisfaction "with the present
number of street lights and with no
understanding as to what should .be
done to au adjustment of the difllonlty
It is desirable that the expense of an
other election bo saved if that will no
settle the matter , but if it will perma
neutly dispose of the controversy i
should bo undertaken , It might bo
possible to adjust the question withon
such expense but a settlement is de
mandcd in some way , and perhaps a
thorough investigation' of municlpa
lighting by an unprejudiced committee
of ; conncilmenn would result lu sue !
settlement. This would be more eco
nomicol than an election , but if an eleo
tiou is found necessary , the people conl <
vote with an understanding that wonh
enable them to reach a just and satis
factory conclusion.
