CAUL SCHUKTZ is now editor of th
New York Evening Post and will , it is
said , continue in its old CTOOVC. It i.
pleasing to know that New York mer
chants arc not to be deprived of their
regular night cap.
THE Herald opposes the sewer bonds
because the proposed sewer will be
more of a culvert than sewer. AVcll
you may call it a culvert , canal , a
queduct , or any other name. If it wilde
do away with the poison-breeding
creeks , and remove the unsightly
dangerous bridges , every citizen
Omaha will be materially bcnefitted.
THE Herald wanU to build sewers
for Central Omaha from Capitol Ave
nuc to "Howard street this season in
stead of spending the money for
ing the construction of sewers
North and South Omaha. "Will the
Herald inform us what is to bo done
about the creeks ? Are wo to continue
the costly system of bridges and cul
crts and leave thousands of our pee
plu cxK > scd to malarial fevers anc
epidemics ]
ALL the hue and cry about in
creasing our'local taxes by the propos
cd sewer bonds is unmitigated bosh.
It costs the taxpaye'rs of Omaha more
money every year for keeping up a
dozen bridges and repairing the wash
outs near the creeks than will pay 'the
interests on the bonds , say notliing o
the risk of costly damage suits to make
good the injuries sustained by acci
dents in crossing the creeks.
EVERY workingraan in the Union
Pacific shops is exposed to the malaria
of the North Omaha creek. Hundred ,
of them are disabled every season b ]
fevers and other diseases which
caused .by breathing poison evaporatei
from the creek. Quite apart from the
loss of time and health the doctor bills
and quinine pills keep these workingmen -
men in debt from one year's end to
the other. It is the manifest duty o :
tlicso man to vote for the proposct
BCH er bond.
DECORATION DAT.
America has sometimes been snccr-
iugly called the country of celebrations
and anniversaries. The truth of this
charge may perhaps be admitted. Few
nations , within the compass of three
generations have liad such an event
ful history as our own and none have
passed through experiences so trying
to political institutions. That a peopl
indebted to the result of great
events for their national exis
tence and the perpetuation of a
form of government wliich they be
licvo to be the best for the governed
uhould desire to recall the scenes and
the hcroes of the great struggle. If the
past , is not to be wondered at.
But among all the recurring anni
versaries of our national life there is
uono which appeals so strongly to the
memory or touches more tenderly the
emotions of every American than that
of Decoration Day. It is no anniver- n
bary for fulsome eulogies of fortune
favored heroes whoso names are em
blazoned high on the temple of Fame.
It is a Any on which a grateful na or
tion pays a nation's homage to her 'Pve '
honored dead ve
, unmindful of rank or
position , and only remembering that
they gave up their life that the na
tion might live. Such an anniversary
apjMjals to the noblest impulses of our
nature ; it awakens emotions which ,
: iroused to action , arc guarrantces of
the perpetuation of the "Republic and
the homage and devotion of its citi >
zens. The garlands of flowers wliich
grateful hands have twined around the
last resting places of the nation's as
heroes , arc moro than funeral wreaths ,
and honors to the departed brave ,
M hose memory lives though their La ren.
bors have ended. They symbolize the
perennial freshness and vitality of Scr
the principles for which our soldiers

pertaining to Mr. Rosewater overdue
following" telegram : '
NEW YORK , May 25.
To the lion. Ceo. n. Sharpe , Speaker of Assem
Hy , Albany. A . Y. :
Amid all the corruption of public life ,
Senator Conklinc has remained rtoor bu
pure. Xb subsidy or Credit Mobilier stig
mas attach to him. He could have made
fortunes by "standing in" with the monopo
lists , as Mr. Maine and others 1m e done ,
butbecause he has declared his indepen
dence and opposed their candidates foi

offices , they now seek to crush un. Wil
the republicans oftliifrtste'5ennit this ?
Mr. Tjyigbsfis the leader of the
irGtion reform interest in thi
city of 'New York and" , * indeed , ini
the United States. THE BEE has a
hundred times declared that the transt
portation" anti ; monopoly question
must lake preceience of all merelj
political and all personal party issues
and it has never wearied of quotinj
Mr. Thurber till now. Republican.
Tlie issue presented to the country
by Mr. Conkling's resignation has m
bearing whatever upon "the relations
between the people and the monopo
lies. Mr.
Conkling himself made nt
such issue either in the senate o
before the New York legislature.
Mr. Conkling deserted his post o
duty in the national legislature anc
surrendered the senate to democracy
and monopolies because the Prcsiden
of the United States insisted upon
exercising his constitutional preroga
tive of appointing a collector for th
port of New York who was
objectionable to Mr. Conklin :
on purely personal grounds.
In this issue Mr. Conkling is sup
ported by some of the most notoriou
monopoly organs andmonopolyhench
.men , and he is also opposed by som
of the most staunch anti-monopolj
papers. In New York city the leading
paper and most outspoken champion
of the anti-monopoly league , the Now
York Times , supports the presi
dent in opposition to Conkling
The Chicago Tribune , an ou
and out anti-monopoly paper
is most emphatic in its condemnation
of the course pursued by Mr. Conk
ling. On the othet hand the Burling
ton Hawlxye and Lincoln Journal pa
pers absolutely under the control o
the Burlington & Quincy railwa ;
magnates "and the Omaha Republican
notoriously the organ of the Union
Pacific are loud mouthed champions
of Conkling. Mr. Tlmrberis doubt
less sincere in his desir
to re-elect Mr. Conklin ;
because ho fears that Chaunccy Depe\
or some other monopoly attorney ,
liable to capture Conkling's seat Fo
our part we should also prefer Mr
Conkling's re-election to the election
of a man like Depew , but there
docs not appear to bo mud
danger of such. a result
If it should happen Mr. Conklin
alone will be to blame. If he was ac
tuated by patriotism and principle in
stead of selfish pride and overbearin
arrogance ho would never have jcap
ordizcd the anti-monopoly cause d.
the life of liis party for the mere grat
ification of creating a sensation. Mr
Conkling is one of the greatest ant
ablest men this country has ever pro
duccd , but this country is greater than
any man. Whenever Mr. Conkling
recognizes that fact , whenever ho
subordinates Ids imperious pridi
to the common good , whenever he
rises above all selfish considerations
and plants himself on the platform
upon wliich the opponents of monopoly
are raising the standard of emancipa
tion from corporation misrule , he wil
have onr cordial support.

problem which the English ministry
are vainly trying to solve. Signs of a
general insurrection are manifesting
themselves in Ireland.

THE COMMERCE OF OMAHA.
OMAHA , May 28,1881.
To the Editor of TUB Bra.
In answer to your criticism of lo
evening will you bo kind enough to
give the accompanying summary anc
analysis of my calculations , in this instance -
stance based upon the report of THE
BEE , which , however , is sonwwha
less for the "wholesale" sales than my
own figures. Yours truly ,
W. C. B. ALLEW.
THE COMMERCE AND MANUFACTURES
OF OMAHA.
To the Editor of Tin Bis :
An error crept into the columns of
THE BEE , of May 27th , in saying that
the secretary of the board of trade
estimated the sales of wholesale houses
at § 40,000,000 in 1880. The estimate
of the board for the total "commerce
of Omaha , " including the trade anc
manufactures for 1880 , is considerably
more than § 40,000,000 , as the officia
and unquestioned figures will show
when the basis of our calculations are
understood , and the statements takei
just as they are made by the secretary
WHAT IS COMMERCE.
Omaha has been so constantly
underrated by those who have no
means of kncwing her interna
strength and resource , that a reliable
system of statistics will prove of ia
calculable value , in establishing her
claims to be a commerce city. Let us
then agree upon the terms which have
been adopted to express the "com
merco of Omaha , " including , as the
writer holds all the industries , the
trade in merchandise , material
machinery , grain , hogs and cattle , anc
other products handled in this market.
The term commerce , then com'
1P
prehcnds , both the trade and manu
factures ; of a city , and the statement is
hereby made that the aggregate of the
trade and manufactures of Omaha in
1880 , not only were § 40)000,000 ) bui
approximate § 50,000,000. The board
gives the sanction of its official en
dorsement to facts , upon this basis ,
which are common to the calculations
of : all other commercial cities.
A manifest injustice would be done to
the city were the board to accept the
sales of 50 or even 100 houses as al"
the commerce ; hence it is only neces
sary to call attention to a summary o :
1880 to prove the existence of other
elements ] of growth and prosperity in
the trade of Omaha. In a hastily
prepared grouping of the principa'
elements of our commerce , ( exclusive
of reported United States custom
house , internal revenue , postoffice ,
army and railroad disbursements , sup
plies and purchases in this market , ]
taking the annual report of THE BEE
as n basis , I find the aggregate to equal
§ 43,000,000 in value in 1880. Besides
this , several hundred tradesmen , spec
ulators , retail houses , who manufac
ture to a limited extent , and also sell
to outside customers , are ptill not in

are the only sure remedy. They are
the best and purest medicine in the
