Ono of thu most pernicious influences of public donation is its appearance in private enterprise. Not even a street car line cnn bo built ii ) this city until nroporty owners are ready to come down with enough money to build the road , Once built it goes under the Mural i admin istration. Indeed , it becomes anuther lever in favor of this street car monop- > ly , 'a'lm sooner an injunction is is- Nued against the extension of the prea out lines under the old charter , the bettor for the people's interest. No one will object to Capt Marsh , an Capt. Marsh , building to the park oi any other place , but for Capt Marsh to assume to work under the old char ter is decidedly thin. If a judgment for damages ia not i'ood , against tlio old Omaha Street Oar company because said company lias hocomo private property by foreclosure , &o. why should the monopoly franchise bo good In all the streets , to say nothing of other legal deficiencies. Thu same legislature that gave the street car franchise , gave another company a similar exclusive franchise for manufacturing , &o. No one supposes the latter company could exclude all other interests , yet it would bo as reasonable as to presume that a street car line can only bo built where one man dictates. Shall citi zens bo compelled to pay that mini § 3000 a mile for every street the road occupies , under the delusion that iinthing oho is possible. Oh , whore is lied Eyed Jonick ! CITIZEN.

In the historl of the court no ono has boon known to acknowledge in out and out terms that ho was drunk.

To Boffin "Pumping Water This Evening. The Water Company is ready to begin pumping from the river this evening. The brick about the boiler is completely dried , and everything olno is in readiness for immediate action. However it is not likely that the pumping will begin before the latter end of the week , owing to the fact the Mr. Cook , of Toledo , the consulting engineer , has expressed a wish to bo present at the moment operations are begun. Chief Engineer Davis says that a delay of a couple of days will bo made on this account , but at the end ) f that time work will be commenced. The water will bo pumped immediate- y into nn immense basin that is now ready and is it settles rapidly it will bo ready for domestic purposes in a very short imu.
