TUB statement in THE BEE that
Hon. Clinton Btiggs has been ap
pointed , or was to-bo appointed judge
to the conrt of claims was unauthor
ized. Judge Brlpgs has not solicited
Mich appointment , nor has it been
made. [ Republican.
The statement that Judge Brlggs
had been appointed judge of the
court of claims , or that such an
appointment was solicited by him was
never made in TUB BEE ,
hence the above paragraph is
a piece of malicious impertinence.
The only statement TOE BEE made
In this connection waa to the effect
that nn appointment to the vacancy
In the conrt of claims bench would
be tendered to Judge Briggs at an
early day. But we beg pardon for
venturing to make such a
statement "unauthorized. " The
only accredited authority on
federal appointments and matters
pertaining to our senatorial delegation
is the Omaha Republican. That
paper , owned by and pub
lished in the interests of
the Union Pacilic was , as wo all know ,
mainly instrumental In the election of
Senators Saunders and VanWyck. In
the Senatorial campaign of 1876 the
Republican championed Hitchcock , and
Its editor , Datus Brooks , was publicly
reprimanded in the Omaha Academy
of Muslo by Governor Saunders for
maliciously garbling his speeches and
misrepresenting his utterances. The
.Republican kept up Its praise
of Hitchcock aud abuse of
Saunders to the very last , and
Siundora was elected Senator.
Had the Stpvbliean championed Saun-
durs , Bomo other man than Sanndors
would doubtless have been elected.
During the late senatorial campaign
the Republican championed Pad
dock , while holding Nance in
reserve u Its preferred can
didate. From first to last that
paper representing Jay Gould's mon
opoly , made most frantic appeals to
the legislature in behalf cf the pets
of the monopoly. The outcome was
the election of General Van Wyck
without a single vote from the mon
opoly faction. Had the .Republican
championed General Yan Wyck , he
conld not have mustered a corporal
guard. Saunders and Van Wyck ap
preciate these inestimable services.
They Merer can and never should for
get that their anti-monopoly battles In
187C and 1880 were fonght and won
by Brooks and the .Republican.
It Is eminently In accord with
the eternal fitness of things
and a 'striking Illustration of political
consistency that Mr. Brooks should
be the only accredited mouthpiece ,
and the .Republican the only "author
ized" organ of the two senators elect
ed by Nebraska anti-monopolists.

MORE BRICK-YARDS.
Omaha needs anil must hare more
brick yards. Oar present facilities for
brick-making are entirely inadequate.
More brick buildings have already
been contracted for this spring than
Omaha brick makers can possibly sap-
ply , even if they double and treble
their force. At present the brick
makers cf Omaha are parties engaged
In constructing bnildings and they
manufacture only such quantities of
brick as are needed to 611 their own
contracta. Omaha has oatgrown this
n&rrow-gauge system. She needs
and must have brickyards
whose' owners will make bricks
to supply the demand of bnilders , and
who will keep a few million of bricks
on hand to meet any emergency.
When any builder who desires to bid
on brick buildings can hare assurance
thut ho will be able to procure the
necessary brick on demand at the
market price , our capitalists will en
gage more extensively in building sub
stantial store houses and residences.
As it is now , only three
or four firms , who own
brick yards can bid on brick buildings
and when they have their hands full
the construction of more brick build
ings stops for the season. With the
Immense and constantly growing de
mand for brick half a dczan more
brick yards would have all they could
do for the coming year , and it is safe
to say for the nert five years. More
arick houses aad fewer frames
will be built from year to
? car. Millions npon millions
of brick will bo needed for
the construction f of sewers.
It is surprising that no capitalist
ias so far ventured into brick making
on a largo scale , when it is patent to
everybody that no industry capital is
nvested in would yield better re-
urns.
THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.
The United States , and especially
he West , is vitally interested in the
results of the International Monetary
Conference now in session at Paris.
All the members of the Latin Union
are represented at the conference , and
even England , who is the most deter
mined opponent of bimetallism , has
ent a commissioner to attend it's de-
iberations. The object ef the con-
erenca is to secure the general adop-
ion of a gold and silver currency under
a free coinage for both at a ratio
of 1 to loi. Tha present
ratio of value on the 412i grain silver
dollar when compared to gold is 1 to
1C. The measure contemplated by
those who called together the Paris
conference would alill further decrease
the weight of our standard dollar to
400 gralnsand oven should our repre
sentatives at Paris agree to the propos
ed change it is difficult to see how
with the opposition which would cor-
ainly ariao In cougres * , the result of
their deliberations could bo ratified
The ratio of value of gold and siivur
has been subject to great fluctuations.
In 1543 the value of silver bullion as
compared to gold of equal weight was
very nearly 1 to 40. Iu 1870 it was
at one time 1 to 20. It has now for
aomo time stood not fac from L to 18.
From time to time changes bavo
boon made in the coinage of every
nation to maka it correspond to the
changed bullion value of the two
metals. Since the 1 to the 15 ratio
was adopted in Europe the production
of silver has in relation to gold in
creased in amount and decreased ia
the cost. This produced a surfeit of
silver coins in the commercial coun
tries of Europe and has led first , in
England then in Germany , to legisla
tlon hostile to that metal and the sus
pension of its coinage even in France.
This fluctuation is claimed as the
great defect in a bl.motallla currency ,
but history has shown that these
slight variations do not affect the
value of the coins as currency , and
that any permanent change Is slow in
miking itself felt and can be provided
for. If a ratio of 15J with free
colnago were to ba universally adopted
the west wouldjbe the chief gainers.
Our production of silver- would be
greatly stimulated ( and mining would
feacome highly profitable Unfor
tunately the prospect of any binding
agreement at the Paris conference is
extremely improbable.
TUB question of paving our streets
will aoon be forced upon the attenton
of the people of Omaha. Kansas Uity
Is now discussing the problem of
Asphalt Block , which is claimed to be
cheap and durable , and to have the
advantage of being reversed after one
side is worn. The asphalt block ,
which Kansas City is discussing , is
twelve inches long , four Inches wide
and five Inches thick or deep. It Is
composed of 90 per cent crushed lime
stone , amalgamated while hot.with 10
per cent of asphaltnm and formed in
to blocks under a pressure of fifty
tons to the square inch. Such Is the
affinity of 5the compound parts when
thus heated and compressed , that the
blocks can only bo broken by repeat
ed blows from a trip-hammer. They
are said to have baen taken up after
heavy mage for six year * and fonnd
less worn than stone under the same
condition.
When our city decides to pave ila
principal streets , the council would do
well to examine into the claims of as
phalt block as a substitute for stone.
MDCU confusion exists as to the dis
tinction between the terms Nihilist
and Socialist. There ara three fac
tions of Nihilists in Russia. The first
aims at a constitutional monarchy and
free suffrage. The second aims at an
absolute republic , on the socialistic
principle , and corresponds to the ad
vanced school of Carman Socialists. I
The last faction is composed of the t
Anarchists , who are opposed to all
government and aim at the destruc
tion 'of everything. The Anarchists
are excluded from the Socialistic party
in Germany. That party believes that
they can accomplish their objects
peacefully , and are opposed to all vie
lence.

A RICH STRIKE.
JIEFOHTED DISCOVERY BY A COW BOY.
Hiwllni Journal.
Information has reached us from a
reliable source of the discovery by
Mr. Rufus Rhodes , superintendent of
Mcsera. Carey Brothers' cattle ranch
es at Fort Casper , of a valuable and
supposed very rich galena lode. There
is quitea legand connected with the
existence of rich silver bearing ere ,
located some place in the vicinity efFort
Fort Casper.
It appears that sometime about the
year 1862 , a party of emigrants , who
were en their w&y to California ,
crossed the Piatto river just below ,
what ia now known aa Fort Casper ,
on old John Richard's bridge , made
ono day's drlvo and camped for the
night. During the night the cattle
strayed away and ono of the men
while out in the hills hunting for
them happened unon a peculiar ledge
of rock , having a bright metallic Ins-
turo , a piece of ( which ho broke off ,
took into camp and showed to his
companions , ] the piece of rock was
greatly admired by them , was care
fully stored away iu one of the wagons
and soon forgotten.
Sometime after their arrival in
California the piece of rock was
brought forth , taken to San Francisco
and assayed ; the return wna a large
one. making the ore. fabulously rich
in silver. The atory of the assay was
soon noleod abroad and large amounts
of money offered to the party who
would find and show the lead. The
first expedition that wo remember
about WBB in 1865 , we were then an
attache of the Pacific telegraph com
pany , stationed at Independence Reckon
on the Sweetwater. Two men , 0. A.
Payne and Jas A. Brennan , came
down from Nevada , ostensibly to
look sfter the old springs near Red
Bnttes , but really to try and find
the lost bonanza , which they - supposed
posed was located somewhere
In that locality. They remained a
couple of weeks , prospecting in that
vicinity , but falling to find anything ,
Payne ro'urned to Nevada and Bren
nan went to Fort Laramlo , where ho
secured a situation as a guide under
old Jim Bridge , and was subsequently
killed by the Indians while out with a
scouting party of soldiers on Tongue
river. During the summer of ' 68 an
other party of three men whoso names
wo noV fail to call to memory como
out from San Francisc.- , organized an
expedition at South Pass and started
do wn the Sweetwater to try their luck.
They told fabulous stories about the
extent and richness of the vein , stated
; hey were backed by Raliton , of the
} ank of California and professed to be
n poaosaion of certain data , by which
; hey conld go direct to the lead. Luck
lowevor , wes against them when they
arrived in the viclnlt ) ef the Devils
gate , they met a narty of Indians , got
scared and turned back. Several other
> artiea subsequently made efforts to
; ot Into the section of country near
? ort Caspar for the purpose of pros
pecting , but they wore either attacked
ind driven out by Indians or gave up
.he . search without ever discovering
anything.
Another difficulty also always oc
curred , the prospectors always having
, he impression that they should pros
pect on the south instead of the north
side of the Platte river , where the
ind was located by the California par-
tie ? .
Mr. Rhodes' recent theory haa re
vived this old legend , which has lost
none of its possibilities from its long
slumber , and nearly every old timer
ias either a now version or several
Ittlo variations to add. The excite
ment aa yet is rather huthsd and
quiet. The news of a rich assay , how
ever , would cause an explosion and
rush for the now find.
