OMAHA , October 30,1880.
We pronounce the article published

aling to the employment of Chinese
ay the city waterworks oornpany an
"nfamoua lie.
lie.SAM'L.
SAM'L. R. JOHNSON ,
President City Waterworks Co.
S. E. LOCKE ,
Yice-President.
The above card appeared in The
Omaha Republican of Sunday morn-
us * tegether with the followingedltorial
comment :
But not only has Rosewater pub'
lishcd "an infamous lie" in this mot-
tor , but he published it with malice
aforethought , and in the knowledge
of the utter untruth and baselessness
of his assertion. He kneir from Mr.
Shelton , of the water works company ,
before ho printed the "infamous lie , "
stated that no such purpose as the im
portation of Chinese laborers has
over been entertained or thought of or
desired.
This is a serious matter and we pro
pose to treat it that way , let the con-
nequenccs be what they may. Mr.
Samuel R. Johnson and S. E. Locke ,
President and vice President of the
Umaha water company are reopectable
gentlemen whose private Character fre
have no desire to aasail. They are ,
however , now before the public as
candidates for the slate senate Mr.
Johnson on the democratic tidket and
Mr. Locke on the republican ticket
and we predicted they they would put
in a wholesale denial , as was to bo ex
pected trom men who were after some
thing moro than empty honor when
they oi.tered the race for the legiala
ture.
ture.tt
tt is decidedly ill advised in them
however to lug In Mr. Shelton as a
witness , to prove an alibi for them in
the Coolie business.
The statement that Mr. Shelton
told Rozcwater that there was noth
ing in the report about Chinese labor
13 absolutely falio. Mr. Rosewater
has had no conversation with Shelton
on the subject of ChincSa importation ,
nor has he had any conversation with
Shelton for nearly a week.
Wo stated Saturday that wo had
good reason for believing that Coolie
labor was to be employed in the con
struction of the uater works and the
general denial of Mco rs. Locke and
Johnson does not change our convic
tion. Our authority fo : mslnng that
statement , was not in the shape of an
affidavit , but it came from a source
that is usually found t j be truthful.
One day , in the tarly part of last
week , one of the younger sons of J.
T. Clark , snp rintenipnt of the Union
Pacific , while r ding on the
street car sni'i , in the
hearing aud pres-i ca of parties
whose names wo are not disposed to
publish , that "his pa taid three hun
dred Chinamen were to be in Omaha
shortly to build the water works , and
tbo government ha.i promised to pro
tect them. " The boy , we are in'
formed , is betwee'h'mne and ten years
old , and we take it that in his case the
adage is correct , that "children and
fools will tell the truth.1 After we
had heard this the same report reached
us from other sources , so that wo have
entertained no doubt about its cor
rectness.
The general denial put in by Messrs.
Johnson and Locke is very lame.
They say the waterworks company
docs not intend to employ Chinese
laborers. We don't dispute that. The
waterworks company have let the work
of digging the trenches and building to
parties who live abroad. These
parties with a view of employing
Coolie labor , have underbid all Omaha
bidders. Suppose they had an under
standing with Mr. Vening , Mr. Kimball -
ball , Mr. lark or some other U.
P. officials about bring
ing these Chinamen to Omaha
from Rock Springs. That would Jet
the water company out , and if any
body in Omaha complains or objects
they will say they Tiad nothing to do
with it.
Another circumstantial proo
is the long and unexplained delay in
building the works , notwithstanding
the repeated promises of Messrs
Shelton and Locke that the work
would bo done this summer or fall.
The great hue and cry about in
ccndlarism and the frantic appeal to
Omaha business men to rail ; about
Johnson and Locke to elect them to
the legislature can deceive nobody.
The Omaha Republican says : There
is danger of a bloody riot on the ar
rival of the Chinesein Omaha , anc
this is doubtly true ; but if the
Chinese . ar < ) not coming , where
is the danger ? If , as wo believe there
is and has been , a scheme to imp'orl
Coolies to Omaha , our merchants will
join the working people in opposing
it. Our merchants expect little pa
tronage from Chinese laborers and
neither they nor our workingmen
should rally around the president and
vice-president of the Omaha water
works company to elect them as our
representatives in"the senate.
In conclusion let ua add thai * if all
these reports about the coolies were
groundless , it-would still be the duty
cf merchantsj.mecharilcs and laborers
of Omaha to vote against Messrs.
Locke and Johnson. There is too
much design in the nomination of the
pros dent and vice-president of the
water works company on the republi
can and democratic tickets , so shrewd- '
y arranged that one can help to pull $
he other through. That scheme , we
insert , fs too-transparent , "and we see
danger in it to 'Omaha tar-payers. §

AN IMEAMOUS-JKLOT , ,
To Disfranchise the Citizens of
the Second Ward ,
And Poll in Their Stead the
Votes of Several Hun
dred Repeaters.
Hascall in His New Role of
Registrar and Judge of
Election.
John M. Tnuraton's plot to deliver
Douglas county over to the Union Pa
cific monopoly by packing primaries
and conventions ia still fresh in the
minds of all our citizens. Thurston
capped the climax of his plot by pro
curing the appointment of Isaac S.
Hascall asregistrarof the Second ward ,
iramedately after the death of Mr.
Orchard.
Mr. Orchard , it will be remembered ,
had made a new registration list this
fall for the Second ward aud published
it according to law , just , before the
city bond election. When Hascall
took possession of the office he throw
aside the registrar's book , opened
a new one and carried forward -
ward and entered into it
only such names as were known to be
long to the U. P. clan. He designa
ted Fleck's ' saloon , on 14h street , as
the place where he would hold sessions ,
but as a matter of fact , hundreds of
people who have gone there have fail
ed to find him nt tha times specified
in his notices. Many peo-
pla have gene there three or
four times without finding him.
Others who went there were treated
uncivilly and could get no information
as to whether they wore transferred
from the old book or not. To-day
a large concourse of citizens gathered
aroiind Fleck's saloon endeavoring to
get registered , but HaScall wasn't to
be found.
When last seen this forenoon be
was sneaking away from U. P. head
quarters through back alleys. Has
call has published nc registration list ,
and it is now well nndersttiod that
Thurston's plot includes the disfran-
dhiB mcht of the whole Second
ward. Hascall ia ofio of the
judges of election of that ward ,
and the arrangement is to reject the
votes of all parties not registered ,
oven if they offer to swear in their
votes , while scores of non-residents
and repeaters who havebeon registered
are to vote there.
It now behooves the people of the
Second ward to meet en masse this
morning at 8 o'clock at the engine
house to see1 that they get fair piny.

The enchanting strains of bewitching
music , the low mitrmur of happy
voices , the endless ticking of an hun
dred time pieces , together with the
flishing of diamonds , the glitter of
gold , the glimmer of polished silver
imd a stream of people , attracted the
attention of a J EE reporter while pass
ing the corner of Fifteenth and Dodge
streets this afternoon.
Ho was puzzlec1 : what cou'd ' it
mean ? But on looking up ho read
over the door , "EOHOLM &JEiucEsoN ,
MANUFACTURING JEWELERS. " Passing
inside the. newspaper man mingled
wi'.h the . happy throng and looked
about on a scene remarkable for its
beauty and splendor. The heavy
plato glass show cases , were filled to
ovei flowing with treasures and gems
of the latest and most attractive pat
terns. *
The shelves an'd upright cases
carrying stores ( .f valuable and useful
good ; the very walls and spaces under
the counters being filled to their ut
most capacity. It was almost im
possible to ? et an audience , but after
awaiting his turn the reporter , during
a short interview , obtained a few
facts from one of the proprietors.
The firm commenced business less
than two years ago , occupying them ,
only a portion.ofltho first-floor of the
building where they are still doing
business , and employing only , two
workman. But now they occupy the
entire floor as wellaa the one above ,
and employ eight workmen , beside the
members of the firm and salesmen.
The manufacturing part of tno es
tablishment is a special feature of the
business , has turned 'out some of the
finest work in the land ; such as gold
rings , chiins , necklaces , cups , jewe
cases and an endless variety of other
articles of this kind. They employ
two engravers , who have , by their
executive ability and good taste , es
tablished for the house , a wide anc
enviable reputation. The optical de
partment is under the direct manage
ment of an eminent oculist , who is
always in attendance , and able to se
lect from their largo stock of specta
cles , eye glasses , etc , whatever may
ba needed ; and can suit the most
difficult eye.
The firm has a large and well se
lected stock of watches in , gold and
silver cases , and handle none but the
best manufacture. Among the best
mskcs they have on hand are the
Hampden , Rockford , Waltha-n , Elgin
ani Springfield. Of this line of good
they have undoubtedly the largest
stock in the west. The extensive and
well selected stock of solid and plated
sUvernare deserves particular , , men
tion , but our " reporter for" wank
of time , was unable to examine
it thoroughly. The stock of diamonds ,
clocks , music-boxes rand many other
articles of use and ornament , are
equally attractive.
In a business of such stupendous
proportions and unlimited variety ,
it would be almost impossible to quote
the price , 4but , we Rive the following
'or wbatit. ! is worthy. Diamonds from
$10 to 81000 , solid'gold and roll plafe"
chains from S5 to § 100 , other chains
rrom § 4.50 to $45jrclocks from Sl-to-
500 , music-boxes from ; ? 4 to $55f
Both members of the firm are
enial young m'on , and. having been
Koughtrtip at , thX businea , they
horoughly understand it. The quali-
y of their goods and the manner in
which they treat their customers , are a
sertainly tha very best , " and'to .thia j

_ OOUBT HOUSE BONDS.
Strong Reasons Why Eyery-
Citizen Should Vote for
Them.
I. The present court house has.
served it's day , and not only la now
out of repair generally , but is in an
unsafe and dangerous condition. The
front and rear walls are badly cracked
and the west wall is badly bulged , BO
much so as to admit of a man's" hand
being inserted between the main out-
aide wall and partition well in the
county treasurer's office.
II. The accommodation'of the build
ing is wholly insufficient for the pres
ent wants of the county. The district
court room and jury rooms , and the
offices of clerk , treasurer and sheriff ,
are all small and'uncomfortablo , with
'plastering falling down , side walls dis
figured and villainous ventilation.
III. The court house is the only
building in which all citizens of the
county have a common interest , which
with but few exceptions , all have oc
casion frequently to visit , cither In
the capacity of jurors , witnesses or
litigants , or for the purpose of trans
acting other business.
IV. Tha county is already possessed
of ( a aito for the proposed new court
hoitsowhich was purchased several
years ago , expressly for court house
and jail purposes , the jail , which is'a '
credit to the county , has already been
erected at a cost of about § 17,000.
Tha remaining ground , until occu
pied by the court house , will remain
idle and unproductive of revenue.
V. For want of a county court
room , the county is obligedlto rent an
oflica for Judge Bartholomew , from
the Oreightons , in Creighton block
and for such office , which'is inaufficcnl
in size , and sadly in need of paint and
kalsomine , pay the sum of § 300 per
annum. A room of like character in
Croigton block , is also hired by the
cmint.y superintendent of public in
struction.
VI. The entire tax records of the
county , for want of sufficient vault
room , are kept under desks and tables
in , thfloffices of ( he county clerk and
county treasurer , and are * constantly
exposed to loss by theft or fird. These
records are the sole and only evidence
of taxes due the county , aggregating
upwards of the sum of $500,000 , or in
other words about four tirnea the en
tire coat of the proposed new court
hciise. In the event of the Ioe3 or
dhtructlon of these records by theft
or Dy fire , not one dollar of the delin
quent tax could oven be realieed , 83
the records referred to , are the sole
and only evidence of unpaid taxes. It
13 well known that 'many persons
owing delinquent or back tales/ are
neglecting , to pay the same , on ac
count ( of the present perilous condi
tion of the tax "records. As soon as
tluse records can be _ moved to a
plaGe of safety-the county , no doubt ,
will realize from old tSxo ? , which oth
erwise would bo lost , 'an aniount
equal to the bonds asked to be voted.
VII. The present court house1 con
tains but two vaults , one in the office
of the- county clerk , which is filled to
overflowing with records of deeds and
mortgages , and one in the office of the
clerk of the district court , which is
nho crowded to its utnjnst capacity
with ihe records and files of the dis
trict court. Not either of these of
fices contniii Safes or other means of
protection ngainst fire. 'Tho vaults
referred to are brick arches1 with iron
doors , and while sufficient , perhaps ,
to prevent a removal of tha-'recordB
contained in chum , would bo wholly
ir.suflicient to prevent su-h records
from destt'uction by fire. Should a
fire occur , as i& liable to be the"case at
any 'time , owing to the"ci apicatcd
condition of the building , defective
flues nnd'chimneya , the falling in of
the heavy roof wduld certainly bie k
down thqbrtck arches ardrxposo their
content' , and even if 1hs was not ihe
resultthe brick eidea would furnish no
protection wbateveregafnst'ihe intense
heat , which would soon reduce all
the record * < charred . embers. What
would DO the effect or extent of the
Joes of these records but few have
considered and none can estimate.
The trouble , annoyance , loss of prop
erty and litigation that would follow
would bo n grievous burden to every
citizen and property owner.
, VIII. The time hn arrived when
fhiscountryctin wellafford toundert > ke
the enterprise of erecting a new court
house. Even if commenced at once ,
the building'could not' be completed
before January 1882. The county is
now in good condition , financially , and
its six per cent bonds'Could probably
bo disposed of considerably above par.
The interest on bonds can not exceed
87,500 , which sum we can well afford
to'piyas protection to our' records
accommodations for * our courts and
county officials , saving of rents , and
the many benefits direct and indirect
lhat willaccrue to the county. Within
the past two years , our county indebt
edness has'been ' reduced almost § 100-
000. The issue of the court house
bonds at the rrduced'rate of. 'interest
proposed , will not , thereforeincrea , , ef
taxation , but withi'the increase in
the value and amount of taxable
property , the rate of taxation will bo
reduced.
IX. The. proposition to vote bonds ,
aa submitted by the county commis
sioners , is.fair and reasonable. The
entire costs of erecting and complet
ing the building , including the neces
sary grading , is limited to $150,000 ,
so that in no event can the expenditure -
, turo exceed § 35,000 over the amount
'of bonds asked. The total expendi
ture may not be upwards of $125COO ,
but in no event , can it exceed § 150 ,
'
000. Even-if'the entire cost should
come up to the outside limit , the
building will not be larger or more ex
pensive than we are justified in erect
ing. The mode of payment
of the-principal-of-the bonds , , as
proposed by the commissioners , is
without doubt or question , the beat
that could bo adopted. No levy is
to be made tS pay any part of the
principal until after the expiration of
ten yosra from the'date of the issue ,
and then not more than fifteen per
cent , of the principal is to be levied
in any one year. In ten years' time ,
it is safe To say.thaL.for the purpose
of paying the principal , as proposed ,
the rate of taxation will not bo to ex
ceed one miil on the dollar of the
then ivjtluation. There is no suffi
cient reason why the present capital
and property uf Douglas county should
jbear the-entiro-b imlen of making thia
much 'neede'd public improvement ,
which we expect to stand as a perman
ent structure for generations to come.
X. Ugotyacating the present court
houss propertyTthe 'same will revert
to the city i of Omaha , and for this
reason , a msjorifyof-ihe votes in the
county wilLbeVgainsi ! the bonds. Fpr
the same reason , every vote in the
city should bo _ _ for the Jiqnds. The
city could make good""use of the old
" "
courf tfolise'property which"bad" It
is , is an improvement on the Pattee
opera house , and would bo agreat
saving of rent ferocity council room
and city offices.
XL The/ci'ty of Omaha will be
greatly > benefited ( in other respects by
larrying'tho proposition to vote bonds.
The new court house will not only be
great ornament to our city , situated
, H Jwill be Onfthe BightlyJocation
fronting * Fatahnm street , "between
17th and 18th streets , but almost the
entire sumexpended nill.be distri
buted duiing.the next year among our
worklngmcn , mechanics , carpenters ,
imtrial men and bricklayers , who , in
return , will redistribute the fund
amongonr merchants and others.
XIL By voting the court house
bonds and undertaking at once this
much needed public improvement , anew
now impetus would be given to the
grand march of private improvements ,
and the expression of public confi
dence in our city and county , would
strengthen individual enterprises and
would undoubtedly have the effect of
bringing in outside capital for invest
ment.
