proved by the taxpayers of Omaha. It
however that they fall
rtiikeim , u wiv. i - - - -
ehortof our municipal requirements in
ttlDy important particulars. For instance -
stance the committee touch the street
railway nuisance with extreme
tenderness by recnramending that cor-
potations which occupy the streets
ahould be made Eubservient to tbe
coutrol of our city authorities. We
a-efn favor cf calling a epade and
never want tD whip the devil around
the stump if we can meet him face to
face.

The only corporations that occupy
oar streets on the surface or in the
eli of tbe earth , t re the gas com
pany , tbe water works company and
the street railway. The two former
are already under control of the city
by their contracts with it. The Utter
pretends to be -bigger corporation
than the corporation within which it
lives , moves and has its being. Its
managers claim that it's charier ,
amugtjled through the legislature dur
ing the last territorial se-sion in ' 67 ,
gives them the exclusive monopoly of
occupying the streets and highways of
Omaha and makes them entirely inde-
psndent of and above all municipal
regulation. This claim is preposter
ous. All the decisiocs rendered by
supreme couris during the past ten
years affirm the right of municipal au
thorities lo regulate and control street
railways , gas companies and other
corporations that occupy the streets ,
either on the surface or under the
ground. We will not argue this
question now. Suffice It to say the
legislature bas the right to define the
powers of municipal authorities over
atroel railroads , and it is hich time
th.t the legislature of Nebraska
should do so for the relief of Omaha.
The city of St. Louis is about to
deal with this problem , and the fol
lowing provisions are to bo embodied
in their charter : .
All street railroads shall keep the
trtreets between the rails in perfect no-
pair , as nearly on A level 'with such
rails as practicable , and with the same i
material as the street itself , or such
olher material s shall bo approved
br the board of public improvements ;
and whenever any part of a street
which bus to bo maintained by a street
railway company shall bo out of re
pair or in bad condition , the street
commusionor shall notify the presi Stl
dent or superintendent of the com
pany to cause the aame to be repaired ii
and put in good condition ,
nd if such company shall fail or ro
fuse to obey such notice wi'.hiu the
ttuto mentions ! inthe
-the notice , then
the street commissioner shall proceed :
to hive iha repairs done , and to pay
the cost of such repairs out of tbe
special fund * ot apart for this purposa.
To create such fund every atroat rail
road company shall pay into the city
treasury the sum of S1CO , to bo used )
Cor the repairs of the streets on its
route , which the street c-Mnmissiontr
shall order to ba made by reason trof
the failure of the respective street
railroad companies to ma e
srnch repairs , upun due notice of the
etroct commissioner and
, whenever R
part or the whole of said $100 shall
hare been expended * for the purposes
indicated above , the respective rail 1-
road companies- upon notification 1by
the president of the board of public
improvements , tha'l piy BO much
more money into the city treasury us
will briug the fund again up to $100 ,
and the municipal assembly shall hnve
power to pass ordinances filing penal
ties fornonconformance ilo
with the
pro
visions of thie section.
oal
I3ut there are other subjects equal
ly important that should be acted
upon by the delegation from Douglas
county in framing the new charter.
Oar present charter is very lame sr.in
dealing with the question of public
improvements and special taxation.
Under our present law a street must
be graded , paved or otherwise improv
ed 10 its lull width before
a special tax
can be collected. This
is vary often
tmpr otoable ! , because it involves
too much expense at ono time , besides
being unnecessary. The St. Lauis
charter , fram which we make the fol
lowing extract , meets this problem : DlP
The grading of new streets , alleys
P
and the ranking ox crosswalks and the
repairs of all streets and highways and
clouting of the same , and of all alleys
and cioeewalks shall be paid out of
of the general revenue of the city , and
the oo t of paving
, curbing ,
gutter >
ing , sidewalks and the materials for
the roadways , the repairs of all alleys
and sidewalks shall be levied and
charged upon the adjoining property
$
M a special tax , and collected and
pildas hereinafter provided. Provided ,
however , that it shall
not be neces-
iry in any case to improve a street 5to
its full width but the
: same may ba
improved in part and the cost thereof
assessed aa a special tax in the man
ner hereinafter provided , end there
after and from time to time Bid >
street may be additionally improved
and the cost of tbe additional im
provement assessed as a special tax in
like manner and to the same effect as
the origin * ! improvement. The cost
of reconstructing any street which haa
already beeu constructsd shall be ap
portioned as follows :
The cost of reconstructing the curb
ing and sidewalks and one-half tjo
cost of rtMBttructing between curbs
hall be levied and charged upon the
adjoining property as & special tax to
be paid as hereinafter provided , and
the east of gradinu and shaping the
roadway , and ono half of the cost of
reeouBtractinjr such roadway shall
b p id out of the general fund
of the city ; but if the bosrd
of public iraprovemenis
shall by a un
animous vote of al ! its members re
commend ir , the municipal assembly
may by a two-thirds vote of each c
house , provide by ordinance that the
whole or any specified
portion of the
cwt ? of such
recoastructhn
of a street ,
noUeu tlna over half thereof , shall a
b pA-d ou. of the general revenue
fuodVNpd the remainder if shall a
, any ,
be levied
and chsrged upon the ad
joining property as a special sax.
Another important quaetion is that
of reconstructing pavem ats , with
which Omaha may soon have to wres
tle , and another
equally important
-nttter M the for
right of the city to im
pose special taxes for street sprink
ling , which will have to be done at
considerable expense , notwithstand
ing the fact that
we have water works.

All these cubj'oti we commend to
the attention of the delegation from
Douglas county , who ought to consult
with esch other before they start for
the Capitol. Frame a charter and
submit it to public judgment , as the
legislative delegation from St. Louis
has done.
OXE of our city officials , when ques
tioned as to the non-enforcement of
the laws against gambling , remarked
that "if the pipers would only publish
the names of those found iu places of
questionable resort much would be
done towards a solution of theques
tion. ' * This is child's play. Who
has taken the responsibility of ad
ministering the laws from the city of
ficials and thrown it upon the news

purifying Omaha has Come from
her presn. THE BEE waged
a ( single handed war hst
year against the quack fraternity ,
when the details of the Aldrich case
had been for months tn the possession
of tbe city authorities. As to the
present question , the city authorities
have ample power , and they are par
takers of crime when they refute * 10
exercise thorn. They are moral cow
ards whan they attempt to shirk their
duty upan others and Wink at an evil

THE defense of County Clerk Man *
Chester to the proven charges of THE
BEE is the thinnest kind of evasion.

office books are well written up )
B-oesn'tthe county pay him for having
them kept in good condition ? And
doesn't the county pay him for being
the custodian of such papers , election
i returns and ballots as are committed
to his care ? If Mr. Manchester
reilly wants to make a fijht on the
present management of the county
clerks office he can be accomodated
without further delay. There are a
,
I number of questions which taxpayers
would like to have answered relative
to the conduct of that office.

SARAH UEEXUAUDT , referring to
the attacks of the clergy on actors and
actresses , makes a good point when
she remarks : "A comparison of the
morals of the clerical fraternity with
those of aotors and actrwess , wouldbe
by no means unfavorable to the latter.
A gro.it many occupants of pulpits are

A CEKTAIX Dr Rush , of Chicago , is
