THE high reservoir ia a superfluence
'folly anyhow ; it is a relic of primitive
engineering ; and it is a perfectly need
less -waste of money , in attempting to
do on the "natural" method -what
"modern improvements" in engineer
ing have rendered perfectly unneces-
nary. But as the high reservoir waa
Insisted on , the Holly company agreed
to build one , to be supplied with water
made pure by the filtering system at
the river's bank. [ Republican.
What a pity the editor of the Repub
lican spoiled a first-class engineer in
trying to become a third-rats journal
ist. The high reservoir may be a su
perfluous folly , and all the hydraulic
engineers of this era may be fools , but
inasmuch as the people of Omaha
pronounced so emphatically against
"direct prezsure"at the springelection ,
their wish will be respected by the
city council The Holly company
doubtlrss intended to put up a patent
filter at the river bank , but when
they consulted Mr. Cook , who is re
puted to be a specialist on water fil
tration , they were advised not to try
the filtering system , because Mr.
Cook regarded it utterly impractical
for cleansing Missouri river water.
And that was chiefly why the Holly
company abandoned their original
scheme and decided to pump their wa
ter into high reservoirs.
AHD now comes Engineer Cook ,
\riththo startling proposition to pump
the Missouri mud up into the high
reservoirs two or three miles away
from the river , and then separate _ it
from the water and send it back on its
way rejoicing to the Big Muddy. The
Holly company , in their contract with
the city which is , we believe , still a
qood contract in law proposed to
separate the mud from the water at
the river's bank , and forca the pure
water into the storage reservoirs.
[ Republican.
Mr. Cook is an hydraulic engineer
of established reputation , and he can
doubtless treat such silly assaults with
silent contempt , in view of the fact
that they are inspired by ex-Council
man HsscalL
It is decidedly refreshing on the
part of our/contemporary toassertat this
time of the day that the Holly com
pany has a lawful contract with
Omaha , when the company itself has
abandoned all pretensions to a con
tract It is the bight of impudence
for that sheet to assert that this pre
tended contract bound the Holly com
pany 'separate the mud [ from the
water at the river bank and force the
pure water into a storage reservoir. '
In the first place the repealed Hascal
ordinance under which Holly proposec
to build waterworks for Omaha didn *
say a word about storage reservoirs or
separating the mud from the water at
the river bank.
It merely authorized the parly to
comtruct a reservoir , if they saw fit to
do eo. Not a word was said as to tbe
size or location of the reservoir , or
whether it wai to bo for storing or
settling \ratcr. In the next place the
no-called contract , which never passec
over the mayor's veto , was merely an
agreement liy the city to pay $100 per
annum each tor 210 hydrants. Not a
word about reservoirs or settling ba-
sins'or filter * .
FOUR years ago the republicans ot
Nebraska honored Mr. Osborn , o
Weahington county , with a seat in
the national convention. That body ,
upon the recommendation of the Ne
braska delegation , placed Mr. Osborn
on the national committee as the rep
resentative of Nebraska. This im
portant trust Mr. Osborn was in honor
bound to discharge in accord with the
known and expressed sentiment of the
republicans of this state. This much
we had a right to expect , and this we
have a right to insist on.
In 187G the republicans of Nebraska
were practically unanimous for James
6. Elaine. The late state convention
has demonstrated that they are stil
overwhelmingly for Blaine. Mr. Os
bom , we understand , is now an
avowed Grant man. With this prefer
ence we find no fault , but we insist
Mr. Osborn's personal preference
should not govern his conduct in the
discharge of his duty aj the rep
resentative of Nebraska republicans.
In other -words , if Mr. Osborn's vote
in the national committee is given in
opposition to , the interests' of James
G. Blaine , hewill commit an unpar
donable betrayal of trust , for -which
his constituency justly hold him
responsible. It would be an infamous
outrage on tbe republicans of Nebras
ka , aawell as upon the republican
party of the whole union , if Mr. Os
born 'Casts his vote in favor of the premeditated
meditated usurpations of Don Camer
on and the syndicate that seeks to
force the nomination of Gen. Grant
against the known will and wish of the
republican masses of this country.
Wehopo Mr. Osbornwill do his duty

If ho has any ambition for future preferment -

of the republicans of his county and

their known wishes. If he dares to
fllacifrom his duty he will be eicrated

THE REPUBLICAN CRISIS.
The republican party has reachec
the most critical period of its eventfu
history. The attempt of headstrong
leaders to commit the repub
lican parly to a radical depart
ure from time-honored usage in
the proposed renomination of General
Grant is fraught with disaster. It is
an indefensible ard dangerous experi
ment that will strain party loyalty to
its utmost tension , and is almost cer
tain "to-wreck the great party thai
struck the shackles of slavery from
four millions of men and women and
established equaTityToF all men in
this republic , owever , grateful

toward General , Grant for his
patriotic services m war and in
peace , they entertain a profound con
viction that the unwritten law that
limits the presidential tenure to two
terms should not bo violated. Thou
sands of earnest , staunch republicans
in this state and in every state of the
union ara unalterably opposed to
the violation of this precedent ,
and it is morrally certain that a large
percentage of these republicans can
not bo induced to vote for General
Grant. Shall the republican patty
deliberately commit suicide ] This is
the question that presents itself to us
at this hour. This is the issue that
will be determined by the nations
convention next week.
PADDOCK will be at Chicago to pull
at the Grant taw line with Logan ,
Conkling and Cameron , but he will
cut a very small figure with the Ne
braska delegation against him.
THE chief capper of the defunct
Holly crew raises a protest through
the editorial columns of the Republi
can against what ha is pleased to call
"Cook's mud pump scheme. " The
voice is the voice of Jacob , but the
hand is the hand of Esau.
TUe Reaction In Prices.
Chicago Tribune. " "
Never was there a more promising
condition of trade and production than
that which was progressing at this
time Jast year. The long stagnation
had given way to activity , and there
was no branch of industry that was
not in a thriving and prosperous con
dition. Labor was employed to an
unprecedented extent ; wages were re
munerative , new trades and occupa
tions had been opened , capital was in
vesting freely , and the very earth , as
: n sympathy orith labor , yielded as it
had never yielded before in order to
swell the grand product and bless the
? eoplo with abundance. Never had
; he country produced such a surplus ,
and never had it so much to sell , and
never had there been such an excess
of earnings over expenses. Each ad
dition to the means of purchasing in
creased the demand for consumption ,
when , crazed by the demand , certain
classes concluded to raise prices , and ,
roshing these by rapid steps , soon
placed them at a most unreasonable
scale.
scale.Prices
Prices reached that hight that con
sumption of American goods was re-
luced , and the workshops of Europe
became busy making good for the
American market. luring Janusry ,
February and March , 1880 , Great
Britain eont to this country 465,040-
000 pounds of iron , against 19,684,000
pounds in the tame months of 1879 ,
and the British workshops are even
noir pouring their iron over here by
every steamer or sailing vessel. Of
courjo the Iron boom broke ; prices
have fallen , the country is filled with
iron , steel , hardware , cotton , woolen
and other goods produced at high
prices and for which there is no sale at
such prices , and which when sold must
bo sold at the world's prices.
In sympathy with the advance in
prices there was a boom in stocks and
bonds. Bankrupt railroads , whoso
entirerproperty does not equal in
value the amount of their debts , have
had their watered stock selling at
fancy prices ; high-quoted capital
stocks and high priced stocks of goods
have been used as collaterals upon
which to borrow money ; but the
bottom having fallen out of prices ,
and tLo stock market having gone to
pieces , the ability to borrow money on
such securities has declined , and fancy
capital stock and high-priced stocks of
goods must be forced on the market
and sold for what they will bring.
The vast fortunes which were gathered
in during the first stages of the dila
tion will be swept away even more
rapidly than they were made. The
decline in prices at the Stock Board in
Wall street has boon a general fall ;
the fancy stocks have gone under , and
oven the more substantial stocks have
not only lost everything the gained
since the boom , but have gone even
much lower.
Another calamity resulting from
the boom has been the spasmodic rise
in wages , followed by the rapid de
cline a decline which already has
closed so many establishments
and forced so many persons out of em
ployment.
The reaction thai has followed the
fever-heated expansion is one of the
worst results of the inflation cf prices ,
and , -while such a reaction might well
have been foreseen and was inevitable ,
the boom was pushed with a blind
faith and unreasoning confidence that
it was to last forever. For every dollar
lar of proht made in this country out
of the craze in prices , there have been
ten dollars profit given to the manufac
turers of Europe. They have reaped
a harvest from our suicidal attempt to
establish prices in this country above
and beyond those of the markets of
the world. As well for one merchant
in Chicago to attempt to fix prices IOC
per cent greater than those of his
neighbors , and expect that his cus
tomers will not buy elsewhere , as for
one country to undertake to fix prices
100 per cent , above those of the rest
of the world , and expect consumers to
pay those prices.
The bottom is not reached yet ; the
boom will bo wholly flattened out.
Prices will fall to their propsr natural
level , and that level is the highest
price that is consistent with the great
est abundance and the greatest power
of consumption.
That people is the most prosperous
which has the greatest abundance of
this world's goods at prices placing
them within the reach of the Rreatest
number. In the proportion that thii
union of the greatest production and
the greatest consumption exists , then ,
is the general prosperity of the whole
established.
When the prices have reached the
proper rate , then consumption will be
resumed. Industries suspended by
the nee in prices will be resumed , em
ployment will bo restored , labor will
5nd remunerative wages , and health
ful trade and enlarged production will
go on vigorously , adding to the wealth
and peace and happiness of the whole
country. The calamitous boom ought to
3e a warning , but there is no calam-
ty so great as to deter men once
seized with the madness of specula-
ion. That this boom will be repeated
, t intervals there can be no question ,
but experience shows that as the
world progresses these eqdden infla
tions have shorter Jives , and the reac
tion comes with more destructive ef
fects. One fortunate circumstance at
tending this boom and the succeeding
reaction is , that we had a sound cur
rency. The speculation waa on 'a
basis of coin money , and not upon
that of a depreciated , inconvertible
paper currency. Had we had such a
currency as we had in 1873 , the col
lapse of the boom would have been
followed by a far more disastrous and
protracted interruption to trade and
production than that -which has taken
place.

SANTA CI.ATJS FOUND.
Greatest Discovery of tne Age.
Wonderful discoveries in the world have been made
Among other things where Santa Clans stayed ,
Children oft ask if he makes goods or not ,
If really he lives in a mountain of snow.
Last year an excursion sailed clear to the Pole
And suddenly droppedinlowhatsecmedlikeuhole
Where wonder of wonders they found anowland ,
vVhile fairy-like beings appeared on each hand.
There were mountains like ours , with more
beautiful green ,
And far brighter skies than ever were seen ,
Birds with the hues of a rainbow were found ,
While flowers of exquisite fragrance were grow
Ing around.
Not long were they left to wend r In doubt ,
A being soon came they had heard much about ,
Twas Santa Claus' self and this they all say ,
He l eked like the picture esee every diy.
He drove up a team that looked very queer ,
Twas a team f grasshoppers Instead of reindeer ,
Bo rode In a shell instead of a sleigh ,
But he took them on boud and drove them
He showed them all over his wonderful realm ,
And factories making goods for women and men ,
Furriers were working on hats great and small ,
To Bunco's tber said they were sending them all.
Kris Kingle , the Olove Alaker , told them at once ,
All our Gloves we are sending to Bnnce ,
Santa showed them suspenders and many things
oicrc
*
Saying I alse took these to fii < nd Bunce's store.
Santa CUus then whispered a secret he'd tell ,
As In Omaha every one knew Bunco well ,
He therefore should send his goods tohis care ,
" 'nowing his friends wfll get their t uflshare.
, - remsmber ye.dwellers in Omaha town ,
So * snt presents to Bunco's go round ,
Aii whj ' 'an , or gloves great and small ,
aunt one and all.
