COMPLAINTS of low fevers come

of the day which is at present attract

v ence than that of the neglect and ue-
/ ceasity of sanitary precautions. It
"I can M truthfullybe said that there is
I no topic of vital importance upon
/ which the ma'ses of people show more
/ lamentable ignorance. In a com
" paratively thinley settled country ,
Lko our own , the moat ordinary pre-
ciu.ions will usually suflice. Chief ot
these is duo care that all welh are dug
at a safe dis ance from vaults and cess
pools and nt the
higher end of any
elopa in the ground. Care should
nlso be taken that no refuse matter
during the summer saason be allowed
ti accumulate in the neighborhood of
the house which s'hould at Ml times
be thoroughly ventilated.
In the cities ono of the most fruit
ful sources of ma'aria f * filthy alleys
hich are mode the.receptacies of all
refuse and offal of the adjoining build
ings. A prominent physician states
it as hU' opinion that next to imper
fect sevrer connections more fatal cases
of typhus /ind typhoid fevers in large
c tie * result * from filthy .alleys than
fem any other cause. In Omaha
there are a number of these pest-
bro-ding .alleys which demand imme
diate attention. Filth breeds disease
which diffuses itself by living germs ,
pprrading themselvM in every direc
t-on from tEelr 'place of origin. In sl-
mnt every instance they are the re-
nult of the mostTnlpable carelessness.

largely arc
ARTICLES of incorporation have
been filed by a new etock companyol
h ma capitalists , who propose to com ;
pete f IT the water works 'conttact.
This now corporation , nnlike the bogus
company organized by Dr. Gushing
and the Holly jobbers , is made up of
snen who have "ample- means tobuild
water works without borrowing a dol-
'lar.
Othpr responsible bidders will also
doubtless compote for the contract ,
and Omaha may now rest assured thai
she will have a first-class system o !
water worki within less than twelve
months.
We still adhere to our origins
views concerning the ownership of the
water work * . All things being equal ,
we should consider it safer and more
advantageous to have the works built
and owned by foreign capitalists.
The money invested in water works
by a home company will necrswrily be
withdrawn from actiye usa in other
enterprises such as hotels factoties'and
store houses which are much needed
hero , thilo every dollar of foreign
caf ital invested in Omaha increases
the pggre ate capital c f the commun
ity. It ia on the whole safer to con
tract with responsible f ireiijn capi
talists because n home company would
ex rt greater influence on our city
C'luncil ' and might through such in
fluence eva-io responsibility , where
the foreign company would bo held
s'ricUy to tbe letter of the contract.
If , however , the home company will
contract tg erttt water works acecrd-
ini ; to Engineer Cook's plins , and on
the condition * prescribed by the
water ordinance , at lower rates tlau
any competing company or indi
vidual , we should favor the n ard
of the contract to thorn. The taxpay
ers os Omaha want water woiks nnd
they want them built in the most sub
stantial manner , of a capacity to sup
ply fifty or sixty thousand inhabitants.
They want these water worka built
w.thout delay nt the least expense to
tax payers. If the Omaha water
works company makes the most favor
able proposal they ought to Lave the
contract.
Since the above was written the
bids have been opened and while the
Omaha water company appear to be
the lowest bidder * , all the bida are
decididly too high. Ninety dollars
per hydtant is about twenty dollars
higher than we ought to pay , but it
may be advisably to close the coi
tract if no assurance is had of better
terms.
TUEUE is some possibility that the
oppressive restriction placed by the
English privy council on American
c.lttlo , one of which requires all such
Imported cattle to be slaughteted at
the post of ilebarkitiun , will be re
moved by order of parliament. Ar
thur Arnold , liberal member of par
liament , leader-writer in ihel'dlMull
Gazette , and one of the ablest mem
bers of his party , has given notice in
the house of commons that ho wiil
c ll attention to the restrictions placed
on the importation ot foreign cattle
into Englind , with a view to hivinu
theaa restrictions reinowd. The
c-iusus which led to the order of the
privy council no longer exist.
The international meat tradt
in which western stock-growers are s-j
much interested , has suffered exces
sively , and the complaints from Eng
Hah consumers are as loud aa those of
the producers. Should Mr. Arnold's
motion prevail , the coming fall will
witness the most remarkable export
In cattle since the trade opened.
THERE has been much talk among

ACCORDING to a writer in the Inter
national Iteviciv the growth of Ameri
can agriculture is unparalled in the
history of any nit'on. In 1865 our
whi > at was .
crop 148,553.000 bushels ;
n 1879 , 448,750,000. Corn in 18G5
was 904,467,000 , and in 1879 1,544-
000,000 bushels. Wii hin thirty years
ho corn centre. has been hansferre.l
from the south to the west , and the
wheat centre from the middle states
o the west. The tobacco increase
lag , of course , been in the southern
tales. Within the sam period the
cotton crop has incroasd from 3,012-
000 bales to 5,210,000. Arkansas
and Texas are the largest gainers
rom the increase in cotton.
are commenting on
he liberality of Wm. H. ' Vanderbilt
in contributing $75,000 for transport
ng the Alexandria obelisk to that
city. As William
escapes taxes on
852COO,000 of peri-onal property and
"
owns one-thirteenth of "the funded
debt of Jhe United SUtes , his pocket
is not likely to suffer much from the
venture.
THE southern presTled thankful
that the sectional issue is lifted en
tirely out of American politics , but
WJies it distinctly understood that
"the south is hopelessly democratic , -
and all effotts of
republicans to re
claim it will ba useless. " This ia rec
onciliation with a ventreince.
THE new oath for the Erench sol
diers contains no reference to the

The Democratic- Split In Vlrffinla.
! t. Paul Pionetr-Pregs.
The oplit in tha democratic party in
'
iT'irginia , which has led to the forma-
ion of two electoral tickets , becomes
nteresting. It ba * an anxious inter-
tst for the democrats and a dimly-
icpeful interest for .the ropublicgn" .
Host people k ow that this split is in
omo way an iaheritaace of tie old
rouble'over * h TeadjrjirmeetoUier. ;
ra ? fce partjsj vopudjaqon of the
state debt of Virginia ; but most pee
pie are puzzled to know why that ol (
trouble should have split the democ
racy on the presidency ; or what the
readjusters hope to gain by running i
second democratic electoral ticke
pledged for the same candidates
f : > r president and vice presi
dent as those named at Staui
ton last May. The Key to the puzzle
is the ambition of Gen. William
fllahone , tbe leader of thia readjuatei
party , and his associates. .These gen
tlemen saw a chance to divide the p > tr
ty on the debt question , and ride into
popularity and power on the repudia
tion issue. They eeceded from the
regular democratic party upon the
question of accepting the settlomen
cf ihe d'jbt proposed by the bond
holders in the McCnlloch bill and do
fcatod the measure. Tnen they orga
nized for victory in state politics

age , and swept the state in the elec
tion last year. There WHS no vote

assembly and reaped the
fruits of their victory by electing G&n
Mahone to the United States senate
Last winter tJ.e readjuatera pis ed a
new debt bill , carrying the scaling
down process farther than had eve ;
been done before ; but this was veioei
by the regular democratic governor
Hlliday. . The trouble next tppearec
in the electoral cunvuntioua. The
regular democracy met iu Stauntoi
last May , and the readjustee callet
their convention for July 7. Some o
their representatives appeared a
Staunton and rsked tha' the nomi
nation of an elec'oral ticket ba poU
ptnied to July when the two factious
could unite. Thia was tefused , em
the regulars nomiiiHtud their electors.
It was supposed that the roadjutters
would acquiesce ; but on the cc ntr ry
they met m convention MI Richmond ,
Wednesday , and nominated a ful
electoral ticket , instructing the
elector to vote for Hancock and En
glish for president and vice president.
Of course the only object of this is to
ci lull out the regular democratic or-
gjii'zation ' and confirm the supremacy
i f the readjusters iu the btato. They
de-sire to preserve their separate or
ganization to facilitate their contest in
the congressional districts. They have
suvetal candidates fo'r congress , whom
they expect to elect , among them
Henry A. Wise. They think they
can best accomplish th s with a separ
ate electoral ticket. Beside ? , their
nomination is a threat to the regular
orinnizVions. The democratic ma
jority m Virginia is not so large that
the party can afford to go in
to a contest with two electoral
tickets in the field Tha fact
that both of them are pledged to Han
cuck will not prevent his defeat in
Virginia , if the Garfield electoral
ticket , happens to have a plurality
over both of them. The regular de
mocrats are frightened by the threat ,
and re.ilize their responsibility , as the
smallest faction , for any defeat that
may come from a failure to unite the
ticket. They have already made
overtures for fusion , which it ia likely
enough will end In their complete sur
render and support of the Mahone
t ckut. This result will complete the
triumph of the repudiatura , and make
Mahone the Demi cratic autocrat of
tl-eSt te. On the ether hand , if the
regulars are stubborn and keep thuir
ticket in the field , the bnlJ step of
Mahono may ruin him , and Garfield
may get the State.

Tne Price of The South's Solidity.
Albauy Evcti'n ? Journal. ( Rep. )
The rebel claims , amounting to mil
lions of dollars , which have stood for
jcara in awe of the veto of a republi
can president , would be rushed through
at the earliest moment , were the dem-
ocrara given undisputed possession at
Washington. The pirty at the south
which rcjcc'ed the reconciliation poli
cy of Hayes would dominate the fed
eral executive. The parly which has
made the soutl "solid" under "white
men's government" aBid degraded
humanity its-lf by Innumerable as
saults and ( utrauis upon defenceless
repub'icans ' , white and black , would
1-iycliimto and r ceive its delayed
regard as soon as the democratic par
ty was given tl > e reins of power.
Why Garflela Will be Elected.
Cinciniiatitinzette.
The re.tfiipii why we are confident
that Garfield will be elected president
of 'hn United States in November ,
1880 , is bfcjuno we have n cbidiuj ,
confidence in the patriotism and good
common sense of the American people
ple The people who suppressed the
rebellion and saved the government
ate not fools enough to put in power
ilrj partv that rebelled and sought to
dest-oy the government. We will ad
mit the gray to equal privileges , but
the blue nnift continue in charge of
tno fruits of their victory. This is
the main p' nk in the platform upon
which the citivass will be conducted
a'ld the contest 'Jeei
Garfleld en Hancock.
General ( jarfif-ld made a concise
criticism of Hancock's notorious New
Orleans letter , wherein the latter took
the ground that the United States had
ii' i authority to enforce the recon
struction las , in a speech in the
houao on Jamury 17th , 1868. Gen.
Garfield then said :
Wi < BOO him issuing a general order ,
iu which bo declares that the civil
should not give way before the mili
tary. Wn hoar him declaring that he
finds nothing in the laws of Louisiana
and Texas to warrant his interference
in the civil administration of those
states. It is not for him to siy which
should be first , the civil or the mili
tary , in that rebel community. It is
not for him to search the defunct laws
of Louisiana and Texas for a guide to
his conduct. It is for him to execute
the laws which he was sent there to
administer. It is for him to aid in
building up civil goiiernmenta rather
than preparing himself to be the pres
idential candidate of that party which
gave him no sympathy when he was
gallantly fighting the battles of the
country.

SANTA GLAUS FOUND
Greatest .Discovery of tne Age.
Wonucrf ul disco i eries in the nrrrld have been made
Among other things where Santa Claua stayed.
Children oft aak It he makes goods or not.
If really he lives In n mountain of snow.
Lust year au excursion sailed clear to the Pole
And suddenly dropped into hat eeemedlikr thole
Whore wonder of wonders they found anew land ,
iVhile fairy-like beinga appeared on each hand.
There were mountains like ours , with more
beautiful green ,
And far brvh'er skies than e\er were seen.
Birds with the hues of a rainbow were found ,
While flowers of exqultlte fragrance were grow
ing aronnd.
Not long were they left to wonder in doubr ,
A being soon cimo the/ had heard mnch about ,
Twas Santa Glaus' self and this they all say ,
Helsoked like the picture r tsee ever'diy
lie drove up a learu hat looked very queer ,
Twa a team f grasshoppers instead of reindeer ,
[ Jo rode hi a shell instead of a leigh.
But be took them on to\rd and drove them
away.
Ho showed them all over big wonderful realm ,
And factories making goods for women and men.
Furriers nere working on h/itn great and email.
To Dunce's the ? said they were sending them all.
Kris K ingle , the Glo\e Maker , told them at once ,
AH our Gloves we are sending to Bunce ,
Santa showed them sujpenderg and many things
mere.
Saying I alse took these to f ii nd Bunco's store.
Santa Glaus then whispered a secret he'd tell ,
As In Omaha every one knew.Bunce well ,
He therefore should send his goods to his care ,
Snowing his friends will get their full share.
Now remember je dwellers in Omaha town ,
AU who want presents ts Tunce's go round ,
for shirts , collars , or glovea great and small ,
end your sister or aunt one and all.
