to abuse poor Hascall. Dr. Miller
can't forget the time when he was in
cahoots with Haicall in that little
Holly steal. It was a hard blow to
lose $10,000 in Holly stock , even If it
was only qnoted at 50 cents on the
dollar.
TEE Hascall organ threatens to
drive Mr. Boyd off the track by pub
lishing some terrible revelations , un
less the hound on lower Farnam is
muzzled. Nobody has ever been able
to muzzle that watch-dog by threats ,
and the jobbers who are trying to
break into the cily treasury under
the lead of Hascall cannot scare htm.
This issue on the mayoralty is pureiy
a business proposition. The taxpay
ers o ! Omaha are members of a cor
poration that is about to elect officers
for two years. It is their priv
ilege and their duty to elect
men who will administer the property
of the corporation honestly in the in
terest of all the members of the cor
poration. If one candidate is known
for his business ability and Integrity
and the other notorious for srooked-
neas and connivance with jobbers
and rings , the manifest interest
oT every member of the corporation is
to cast hii ballot for the man who can
not be swayed- from the atraigbt path.
As a citizen Mr. Boyd ranks high 'for .
enterprise public spirit and integrity.
As a legislator he has been tested in
the constitutional convention where
the lights of all clastes were equally
protected.
As a councilman Mr. Boyd ki unas
sailable. Haseall on the other band
has always favored every scheme of
public plunder under the guise of pub
lic improvements.
He does not enjoy the confidence of
the community , and justly would be
watched at every step with stapiclon.
If capitalists from abroad came to
Omaha for investment and find a man
of the enterprise of Boyd at the head
of our city government they will not
hesitate to locate or invest with us.
If they meet Hascall his countenance
lone , would itnprcwa ibom with the
idea ibat Omaha I * robber * ' roott ,
where everybody that comes U taken ,
in , and' the highest honors are con
ferred upon the biggest rogue.
OOUNClLMEN-AT-LiBGE.
The new law , under wh'ich one-half
of our city council are to be elected
at-large , does not seem to be generally
understood. The nomination of such
councilmen made ia ward caucuses
and ratified by both the republican
and democratic conventions , has con
fused many voters , and the idea pre
vails that each of the six coHicilmen-
at-large must be voted for from a dif
ferent ward. In other words , many
voters labor under the impression that
they must pick one man from each
ward in voting for six councilmen.
This is not the intention of the law.
k
The sew charter providtc for the
election of six ccuncllmen who are to
be voted for by all the voters of the
whole city , regardless of their resi
dence. In each ward OBB eouBdlman
will be elected who resides In that
ward and six conncilmen will
be voted for at large. The
republicans have nominated the.fol > .
lowing named persons for conBellman
at large : M , D. SproulJa | es France ,
Ira' Wilson , M. Goldsmith , J. M.
OouHsman and 0. C. HouseL
The democrats have nominat
ed the following candidates
at 'large : Oharles Kaafsaann ,
< Richrd O'Keefe , Fred Delloae ,
Homer Stull , J. Oorby , and Samuel
Hermann. There are also to be sev
eral independent candidates. Mr.
'Koddi * , present councilman from , the
First ward is one , , and others will
doubtless announce themselves. Each
voter will therefore have .a choice
from at least twelve and probably
from sixteen or eighteen names to
pick. It k the duty of every if

FOBT7 P B CENT HOUSEL.
The republicans of Omaha have put
in nomination as councilman-at-large ,
0. C. Honsel , a man who has done
more to skin snd scilp poor taxosyera
In this city amd coanly than any other
man. The tsx title records show that
this forty per cent shark has acquired
an Immense amount of property by
tha foreclosure of tax titles. Not
only has he taken pains to buy up the
lots and lands of poor men who
were unable to pay their taxes dur
ing hard times , but he has
bought. np lots owned by the city
and has tsken out tax-titles fcr them.
Among these city lota , Recording to
records , we find a deed from the
Treasurer of Douglas county to 0. C.
Hcuael , dated August 14th , 1877 , for
lot 2 , block 8 , situated next to the
corner of Fourteenth and Webster
streets. Honsel turned around and
made ft quit claim of this lot on the
16th of January , 1878 , to Benjamin
Ittner , and on April 4tb , 1878 , ac
cording to the records , Ben. Ittner
deeded the lot back to Housel on a
warranty deed. By making these
transfers back and forth Houiel gets a
grip on this city property which we
suppose might Hold good In law , and
give him legsl possession. Again , we
find lot 1 , in block 363 , belong
ing to the city wa - deeded by
the county treasurer to Allen &
Hensel , March 12 , 1878 , This lot
was deeded by Allen & Honsel to Pe-
terJSelaon oa September 4,1879 , and
we presume the city-will bave a round
sum to pay if they ever get that lot
back.
back.Hoocel
Hoocel is a very stannch supporter
of Hsjscall , and anybody who will ex
amine the records of city property wfl
soon see the reason why. Daring the
two years of Hucall'a service In the
council Honsel gobbled tip s number
of valuable lots belonging to the
city for a mere soog , and if
Hascall were to be elected mayor and
Honsel councilman the cily would
not have a foot of ground left in less
than six months ,
Three years ago Honsel was ap
pointed government director of the
UnioE Pacific railroad. His appoint
ment was made with a view of pro
tecting Omaha against the abuses of
that oarporation. Honeel uied the
position for mercenary ends , and
nold oat this community almost the
.very day he was appointed.
When * the board of direc
tors requested him to make
* report about the Omaha bridge with
ft view to remedying existing abuses
ind putting a stop to extortion , Hon
sel had his report written by the at-
tornies of the Union Pacific road and
that report signed with his name was
transmitted to the Interior Depart
ment. Such a man Is worse than a
highway robber or a burglar. You
can protect yonrcelf against highway
men and'atore breaking but you can
not protect yourself against the cor
rupt public official who betrays his
trust. The only remedy sg&Inst such
scoundrels is never trust them again
with anything , least ol all with the
management of city tffatrs.
THE HASCALLAJJM1NIBTBAI ION.
Dully Dee , Apr3 18 , 1880.
Councilman Kennard's reconcili
ation speech at the dissolution of the
late council has been taken as a text
by The Herald and Republican for
fulsome commendatkns of the Hascall
idministrfttion. Now , became Mr.
Eennsrd in the goodness of his heart
ilopped over In trying to make Has-
all's exit from the council less pain
ful , an attempt Is made to veneer
EftBcalTs roguery and make him
mine as a luminary for the guidance of
ill future City Councils. Tha Herald ,
for Instance , commends Hascall's
tplefidid financiering and particularly
polats to the fact thst under his
Leadership we have pat a stop to the
umaal overlap and still bave some
funds left in the city treasury.What
lamentable exhibition of ignorance ,
or , worse : What an impudent attempt
to throw chaff Into the eyes of Omaha
tax-payers ! It Is a notorious fact
that Hasc&ll and his gang of jabbers at
tempted to burglarize the city treasury
at the very outset by lawless expendi
tures , and the taxpayers had to in
voke the protection of the courts to
enjoin them. Haicall himself resist
ed ihe attempt to restrict the council
within the legs ! limit , and the only
reuon why there is no overlap this
rear is because Judge Savage put a
stop to it After this injunction Has-
oall ingeniously got around It by de-
rising the scheme to rob the

ly sat apart to psy the bonded

And then the eulogist of this cheeky
rogue puts its foot in it by telling
us that Haicall would not to
day be a political corpse
If the Holly company bad
not compelled him to champion a plan
of water works which in some re
spects was not adopted to the condi
tions of typography of Omaha. This
gives the lie direct to Hsacall's oft-
repeated professions that he was only
working In the interest of the city ,
that he wu not a capper for Holly
and advocated direct pressure because
he did not want Omaha to drink wrig
glers out of a frog-pond. With all
these attempts at jobbery fresh
in our memory ; with the
blsaphemona and indecent black
gnardiam of Haacall's pili still ring
ing in our ears ; with the stench cf
the loathsome political corpses still
poisoning the very air we breathe ,
this attempt to resurrect Hsscall for
political martyrdom Is an outrage up
on respectable men and women , and
a disgrace to Nebraska journalism.
THE republican candidate for coun
cilman of the Third ward la Mr.
Frank D. Kent. Our attention Is
sailed to the fact that Mr. Kent is
disqualified from becoming a council
man. First because his family re
sides outside of this state * and haa
never lived in Omaha ; and
second , because * be is not a
bona-fide owner of city property.
The mere purchase of some lot sand on
the river bottom on election day
will not answer the requirements of
the new law. If the republicans de
sire to elect a councilman from the
third ward , Mr. Kent ought to be
withdrawn and some man who can
qualify under the charter should be
substituted.

AMERICAN MONOPOLISTS.
AS VIEWED THROUGH FOREIGN SPECTA
CLES.
The arrogance and Intolerance of
corporate monopolies in the United
States and the high handed manner
in which they ride rough shod over
every public and private Interest , has
long excited the wonder and disgust
of every fair minded and unbiassed
continental thinker. It haa no par
allel in any other country
on the globe. The spectacle of a
ring of unprincipled capitalists
whcee only God Is Mammon and
whose sole end Is their own personal
aggrandizement dictating terms to
50,000,000 citizens of a great republic ,
corrupting legislatures and congreaaes
and polluting even the very fountainheads
_
heads of justice , may well challenge
the attention of the world and draw
down upon our country severe and
well merited rebuke.
"Nowhere in the world do great
corporations poaaeaa greater power
than In the United States. And it is
used in a manner which , .at times ,
renders them specially obnoxious. "
These are the words of Mr. Hyndman ,
one of the most intelligent and far *
sighted English writers on social
questlona , and they will find an echo
in the hearts of hundreds of thous
ands of Americans who now find them
selves under the iron heel of monopoly
rule. Mr. Hyndrsan haa been making a
study of American monopolies and m
a late number of The Fortnightly Re
view has given to the public the result
o ! his observations. Ho finds on the
part of American railroad companies
an arbitrariness towards their own
servants which Is "only equalled by
the shameful way in which , when they
can safely do so , they treat the pub
lic. " In no csuntry in the world , de
clares the writer , era the rights of pri
vate property so completely at the
mercy of corporate greed. In no
other civilized country are the people
so wholly unprotected by law. The
railroad companies , says Mr. Hynd
man , are treating the people of the
United States as locomotives. . They
are fortified by legislatures purchased
with money wrung from the producers
and protected by judicial tools ,
whose ermine is sullied with dishonor :
and stained "with corruption. "The ;
people are crushed by a gang of un
scrupulous monopolies who .laugh . out
right at the Idea that universal suffrage
can rend up legislators whom they
Baunot control. The very last point
which ia considered is public interest.
Rates are put up to the very highest
point which the farmers along the line
f the roads can possibly stand. In aa
some instances the tyranny exercised aabe
beyond bilief. " Such language beoi
'com a writer whoae personal Interests oiM
ire in no way affected by the great la M
me of the hour in this country ; is
ecially significant , supporting as U
loea the assertions of the moat radical 52
f Amerlcra anti-monopolist ? . As 52mi

as radianf and brilliant as
