SHALL WE HATE WAT2B WOEKSt The action of our City Counqil in submitting the water work's propo sition to the people of Omaha will af ford our citizens a fair opportunity to determine whether a system of pub lic improvements shall be inaugura ted during the coming winter , or whether we are to be remanded to perpetual stagnation and dullness. In other word. " , whether Omaha is to take a giant stride in the path of progress and prosperity , or whether she is to fall behind wide-awake ri vals in the Missouri Valley by pur suing ihe old-fogy-do-nothing poli cy. The proposition presented by the ordinance involves the issue of water works' bonds not to exceeding in the aggregate § 400,000 , payable in fifteen years and drawing inter est at eight per cent per annum. Section 22 of our City Charter reads as follows : " The Sfayor and Council shall have power to issue bonds of the city in such amounts and for such length of time , not to exceed tv'en- ty.years , and at such rate of interest as they may deem proper , not to ex ceed ten per centum per annum ; said bonds to express upou their face the purpose for which they were is sued , and under what ordinance , and they may have interestcoupons attached : Provided , no such bonds shall be issued for any purpose , un ess at a regular or special election , after twenty days public notice , stating distinct ! } ' the purpose and object for which satd bonds are to bo issued , and the amount thereof ; the electors of such city , by two-thirds of the legal votes east ntsuch electionshall determine in favor of issuing said bond , which said bonds , shall in no pasp bp ilivcrted from the object for which they wpre issued , and-shall not be disposed of by the city at loss than [ > ar : And , Provided further , that the bonded indebtedness of any city of the first class , shall not at any one time exceed the six per cntum of the assessed valuation of il proucrty within said city at that tiwtj.H It is claimed by the o pponents of the proposition that taking our last assesmeut and the bonded debt of the city is a basis no propo- eition to incur an additional bonded indebtedness beyond $150,000 can be legally submitted to the people. Unless this objection can be obvi. atetl it would be sheer folly to con ider and discuss the water works question for the present. yc are , however , confident that we shall be able to demonstrate the fallacy of all these objections. It is obvious at first glance that the guard thrown around the city treasury in the disbursement of pub lic 11101107 * s simply for the protec tion of the taxpayers. For this reafcon it is made incumbent on the Mayor and Council to submit all bond propositions to a vote of the people. If by a two-thirds vote the people approve of the proposed measure authority is vested in the Mayor and Council to proceed. Their authority , however/tnust un doubtedly bc exeicised under the restrictions of the law ; therefore while the vote of the people may give them unquestioned authority to issue 400,000 in bonds the issue must be made progressively , so that at up tinio the amoupt of bonds issued can exceed six per cent of the assessed valuation of property in the cit3 % It is patent to everybody that the construction of water works will cover a period of several years. The bonds are , of course , to be is sued only from time to time as they are needed. Now the assessment which furnishes the basis for the is sue of bonds in 1874 , will not govern the issue of bonds in 1875. It is a well known fact that this year's as sessment was exeedingly low , at least two millions below what it should have been. During the present year we have added at least one million in improvements to the taxable valuation of property. It is but reasonable to expect that next springs assessment will show an increase of two millions on pres ent valuation. This will increase the legal bond ing authority from the present limit , $150,000 , to $270,000 , an amount far above the requirements of one year's progress on the works. It therefore becomes self-evident that no special legalization of the bonds to be issued iu 1875 will be required. The people have unquestionably the right to authorize the Mayor and City Council to issue any amount of bonds , providing that the bonds when issued shall not conflict with the six per cent restrictive clause in the charter. This , we believe , em powers the people to vote the bonds at one election , but limits the issu ance of the bonds to stated times in accordance with the assessment re turns. Tin : arrogant prociamadiou of the belligerent namesake of the im mortal Quaker that founded tlie 'city of brotherly love' draws the fol lowing comments from the St. Louis Globe : "To those who hesitated in uncertainty whether the pen was really mightier than the sword , we would commend the proclamation of.Liieiit.-Gov. D.31. Penn , of Louis iana , calling for a civil war through out the State. This Penn is 'mitier' than old cheese , and twice as rank , His proclamation sounds like one of Xasby's , but its possibilities of re alization make the jest a sorry one. The measure of its disastrous consequences quences will be the limits of its in- fiticncc , and if its alarm is heard here in Missouri , it should teach us one lesson , and that is , that the work of Itepublicanism cannot be laid aside. If any man puts any other meaning than that on Penn's proclamation , he is not a Republi can. " Hox. SiiiAs GAUBER , our candi- didate for Governor , is now in our midst , and we are gratified to note the favorable impression produced iu this community by his stately bearing and honest open counte nance. Even his political opponents who have been introduced to him , frankly confess that they were agreeably disappointed in the man whom the Bourbon organ has pain ted in such disinaljcolors , MAPLE GROVE FARM. WEBSTER COUNTY , Nebraska , Sept. 10.1874. EDITOR OMAHA BEE : Ha ving a few spare moments I will endeavor to drop you a fe lines and try to give you a short history of what we are doing out here. Times are extremely dull , with but little money In circulation , although what LJ in circulation is put to good use generally. In the early part of the spring we had plenty of rain and splendid growing weather , and the prospect for an abundant crop was very flattering ; but toward the last of June dry weather set in , and for six -weeks we had little or no rain at all ; but , however , we have good small gram crops and would have hud good corn crops , had not the grass hoppers nome about the last of July , and just swept things before them. This was a severe blow to "Webster county , and the Repub lican valley generally ; I am sorry to say so , and it is no use denying the truth , but I am very well satis fied there will not be one hundred bushels of good corn raised in "Web ster county , or even in the valley , and a great many new settlers who came in last fall or the last spring have nothing to depend upon but their sod corn , and it is all gone now and no possible chance for tbem-to makoaljvinghere for the next year to come. A great many have gone east in search of employment , while others are staying on their homesteads , with the expectation of receiving aid from the State , and it something is not done for some of them , anil that very soon , I am well satisfied that nakedness aud starvation will be the result. Let some of the state ofllcjals , whoha.ve a little sympathy and kindness about them , start up the Republican valley , stopping now and then at some of the homesteads aud make inquirj' in regard to their destitute circumstances , and they will find this no misrepresentation. I wish it understood that I am not speaking for m.ysef ] , aa \ thju.k by using eponoifly find the best of maii- agemont , I can with my family en dure thecomingwinter ; and agreat many others can 40 ps well , if JJQt great deal better. I have had con versation with some of my neigh bors in regard to this matter , and they had the idea that it was a hard thing to get at properly , For my part , I don't think so. My plan would be , for such that nro destitute to go before the county clerk in their county and make a statement as to their destitution ; at the same time having some of his neighbors as witnesses to the statement. Then let the county clerk send such state ment to the State authorities , and there receive their supplies. This , I think , would be a very good plan , as there would be no cnauce for specu. lation. Now the plftH they- have adopted in Kansas I don't approve of by any means ; it gives too much chance for dead beats and speculation. In Kansas the county authorities send an assessor around to each and ev ery house to assess flip \\M\\- \ \ \ age donp by grasshoppers , etc. , and to take requisitions as to what they need the coming year. I know ot some of these Kansas jnen who have large amounts of property in other parts , who make out their re quisition for seventy-five dollar's worth of clothing , food and grain for sowing the coming spring ; oth ers , who have layed around all summer - mer doing nothingwhen they could have had work at wages , and now would havp bad plentyi will draw from the State their winter supplies , and this sum to bo paid back to the State by the tax-payers generally. Another thing I wish to speak of , and that is In regard to homesteads and pre-emption , as there are a great many who are going away and leaving their claims open for jump ing , who intend to return , and no doubt some of their claims will be jumped before they can possibly re turn , as some of them cannot get back in time to hold their claims according to the present laws. There should be some legislation to extend the time for a homesteader , in case of sickness , poverty , or una voidable absence , to one year or eighteen months , in case of extreme necessity. This would be a great help to the homesteader ; and the pre-emptor should have at least five years to prove up on his claim and pay for It , from the time of filing his papers. This would be a great help for those who have taken prq- emptlons , and I don't see us the gov ernment would loose anything by doing so. It Is a very hard thing for a pre- einptor after filing his intentions to pre-empt a piece of land , and after putting on four or five hundred del lar's worth of improvements , and then let bard times set in , and when the time comes to prove up on it and pay the government price , he cannot meet his payment and it falls back to the government is no small matter by any means , and a little legislation on these matters would be very appropriate. Considering the dry weather , the grasshoppers , and hard times , there are still emigrants coming into our county and settling , and the old set tlers are not at all discouraged , but these who are able intend to put out large crops the coming spring. I , thinlc I shall put out sixty acres of I small grain and other crops in pro- " portion. Red Cloud is still prosper ing , business lively. The bridge across the Republican river at this place which was swept awny last spring by the breaking up of the ice , has been repaired by the Clark Bridge Company , of St. Joe. This same company is also putting in a bridge at Riverton , 12 miles west of Red Cloud. The saw and grist mill which is being erected by J. Q. Potter & Co. is nearly completed , and will bo an ornament to the county and a great benefit to the public. Some of the farmers have threshed their grain , with the following re sults : Wheat , fi-om.12 to 20 bushels to the acre ; oats , 12 to 30 ; and bar ley , from 30 to 45 , &c. Wheat is worth ( at Red Cloud ) 60 to 65 ; oats , 5-5 to 60 , barley , 100 ; and potatoes , from 75 to 90. Flour is worth $2.75 per sack. One word with regard to politics , and then I am done. I am not a politician , or a party man , neither am I runninjr for office. I always voted the Democratic ticket until of late years , when both parties have become so corrupt that 1 cannot take sides with either of them. Therefore , when either party puts up a good man , I vote for him ; and that is just why I intend to vote for Silas Garber. I am personally ac quainted wltn him , and know him to be an honest , upright , thorough going , live man ; and I would just say to every man who has a vote , no matter what his politics are , gofer for Garber straight. Yours truly , D. 8. H. To Subordinate Granges of P. of H. of Nebraska. The undersigned , after consulting with some of the members of the executive committeedeemsitproper to issue a circular in order co ascer tain from reliable sources the ex- teuc of damage done to the members of our order by the excessive drouth and the grasshopper ; also how far we are able to relieve our own desti tute. tute.You are respectfully requested to notify me without delay the condi tion of your Grange , Mid answer as specifically as possible following questions : What is the financial condition of your Grange ? Do any need assist ance to Pliable them to live through the ensuing winter ? If any need help , which cannot be furnished from members of your own Orange , what will best supply their wants , and how much ? The object of these inquiries are to ascertain how many of our mem bers actually need aid , and also what Granges will fuinish such aid and to what extent , in order that each Grange may have specific work as signed it , and be the direct dis penser of its own charity , and that each individual needing as-istance may know when and where to apply for aid. The circular 3d issued with the confident belief that all the mem bers of the order will be not only willing , but anxious to prove their devotion to the principles of our or der by relieving those whom mis fortune has overtaken , to the ex tent of their ability , without injury to self or family. Lot no one be compelled to leave the State to live through the com ing winter , but let all who have been visited by misfortune of any kind resolutely and persistently worked for themselves and rely up on the liberality of their brothers and sisters for that aid and comfort , material and otherwise , which may be finally needed.
