ANNA DIGKINLOH must Kteer clear
of Nebraska nnd her woman's rights.
According to the Philadelphia Prtn ,
ANNA was nn unnoticed auditor at the
woman's temperance union at Ocean
Grove. The topic under discussion
was what can bo done to reform fellow
women , and the drift of argument was
jigainit the probability of any gooc
"being accomplished by women in ro
/ormiug their BOX. Without nny cor
i oniony ANNA arose and gave nor eis
. tcra the following Hcoring ; "I am
not a temperance advocate , but I cat
tujl you that woman's proper work i
with her sisters and not with men
* You fail where you can do the most
The woman who lias nothing to do
the giddy , fashionable creature who
learns to tipple with refinement ; th
woman who has too much to do , you
laundress , who does a day's work get
ting.her husband's breakfast und at
tending to her children before sh
cornea in the morning these , as ivol
us the woman who drinks to drowi
despair , are those who need but d
not receive your ministrations. You
raiBotho mat ) but you spurn your fel
'low women beneath ypur feet. " A
the conclusion of her remarks ah
was publicly prayed for. Miss DICK
JNBON may not be a succouful tctor
but ihe has a large vein of good com
won teiuH ) in her competition.
WATER ROUTE COMPETITION ,
The competition for European
freight lias been greatly increased by
the opening of the Wolland ship canal
which connects the St. Lawrence nnd
the lakes , and the successful expert
mont of shipping direct from Minnesota
seta to the continent by way of the
Mississippi river barge line and the
Gulf of Mexico. Immediately upon
the opening of wntor navigation loal
spring , the rates on cost lx > und freight
were at once reduced by the trunk
lines which centered in Now York city.
A few weeks later , when the rail
way managers discovered that freight
was seeking the water route , rates
wcro Htill further reduced in order to
counteract n competition which coith
not bo purchased or discounted by
pooling. For n number of weeks the
cut in rates by the railroads operalcc
to turn the tide of grain shipments
from the Krio and Midland canals to
the coast. The inauguration of the
Missidiippi barge line , however ,
forced another cut , until the
through rates for wheat from
Chicago to Liverpool by way ol
New York wcro reduced to 18 cents a
bushel M ngainst 30 cents earlier in
the bcason. Even at this comparative
iy small sum , which it is claimed
scarcely covers the cost of transporta
tion , the railroads have found them
selves distanced ly the Wolland
canal , which is transporting immense
juantities of grain from Chicago to
Montreal for shipment to Liverpool at
the still lower rale ot IB cents per
rtishol. The low tariff for freight
las not , only affected the railroad * .
The Erie canal , which has itself had
n strong regulating and restraining of-
ect upon the freight rates of the rail
roads is feeling the effect of a compc-
iti jii stronger than its own. The ro
uction of the tariff by rail , originally
orcod by the low charges made
jy the canals and rivers ,
103 resulted in seriously
itninishing the receipts of the Erie
inal nnd in throwing the mass of
eight shipments upon the railroad
nd the Wcllaml water way. The
mount of tolls collected in July ,
881 , as compared with the corro-
[ Hmding1 month in 1870 shows a filli
ng off of $50,000 while the decrease
rom the opening of navigation nntil
Vugust 1st , is 8197,012.31.
The publication of these figures in
few York city has occasioned the
jreatest alarm among the merchants ,
'hoy are beginning to realize that
lie mercantile interests of the
notropolis arc seriously threatened
> y formidable rivals and that measures
must at once bo taken to stimulate
anal competition and insure the
roatont possible amount of work out
of the canal with the smallest possible
nx to commorco. A number of plans
are proposed , chief of which is that
vhich contemplates enlarging the
capacity of the water way and making
t open for steam navigation nnd frou
o all the country. This would nlTord
or six months in the year
a free passage way to
ho producers of the west , by which
hey could vapidly transport their
grain to the markets of the world at
rates which would leave a fair profit.
U the aaino time it would force the
ailroads to maintain tariff rates much
owcr'than those usually accorded to
shippers by rail. It would bo no less
a boon to the west than to Noiv York
state. With lines of barges operating
on her great rivers , and through
ransit for steam vesHoIs from Chica
go , the lakes eastward to the At
luntic seaboard our fanners would in
11 measure bo freed from the tyranny
of the monopolies. Every indication
points to the conclusion that tnuiapor
tation by water is to play n largo part
in the BoUloinunt of the question ol
chc.ip freight for western produce.
No question ia of such vital intorenl
to nil classes , and every stop towards
its solution will bo watched with eager
solicitude by our people.
EXTEND THE FIRE LIMIT.
It ishigh time that our city counci
look measures for extending the operations
orations of the Cro ordinance over
certain portions of the city which are
at present exempt from its provisipns
Tlie business portion of Omahu is
stretching itself so rapidly that it has
already paraedjlioyond the boundaries
of the fire limits. Much valuable
property is daily put in dangers by its
closeness to small and inflammable-
square fronts and frame dwelling
houses. Sixteenth street , within the
post few years has dovolopet
a largo and rapidly growing retai
trade and being exempted from tin
requirements of the tire ordinance- i
closely packed with frame buildint ;
and sheds , which need only a spark
and a strong wind to afford food for i
disastrous conflagration. On Thir
teenth street the extension of buaincs
has lined both sides of the street will
tinder boxes which are n constan
menace to the most valuable portion
of the city. The commonest precau
lions for the safety of our city wouh
eeom to dictuto that both thes
streets should bo brought undo
the provisions of the flro ordinance
Omaha will never become either safer
or metropolitan in nppoaranco unti
the erection of wooden shells on he
business streets is prohibited by law
and the law strictly enforced. 8
long as land sharks can erect shantic
at a small cost on our princijKi
thowughfaroa , and fill them with
tenants whoso rent pays a profitable
rate of interest on the investment ,
they will do so at the nxpcnso of their
neighbor's safety mid the city's np-
poarancc.
Unsightly frame fronts and tinder
box sheds sandwiched in between
brick buildings nnd blocks make an
unfavorable impression upon every
visitor to our city , many of whom arc
prevented on that account from locat
ing in business in our midst and leave
tor other towns where bolter precau
tions ro taken to afford safely to
merchandize and protection to busi
ness men. An important item
in every'merchant's calcula
tions it ) the rate of fire insurance.
Every ono knows that the surround
ings of a house are largely responsi
ble for the cost of insuring its con
tents. Frame buildings in the busi
ness portion of our city increase the
cost of insurance for every merchant
in their neighborhood. The water
works will soon bo in operation , and
water will soon bo flowing
through our streets. This is a
good time for thorough re
vision of our fire ordinances seas
as to take in those portions of our
city which need its protection. The
council may feel certain that the
principal opposition to such a move
ment will not como from the men of
enterprise in our city , and that such
action on their part will moct with
the hearty approval of a largo major
ity of our citizens.
THK question of the inability of the
resident to perform the functions of
national executive , is gradually fore-
ng itself upon President Qarfield's
cabinet. A great deal of routine busi-
less has already been effectually
) locked by reason of the president's
llnus.i. A matter that appears to bo
very urgent is the exercise of the
> residential pardoning power. There
are some .sixty United States district
ourts running all the time , with the
lability of unjust convictions , and the
only relief can come from the exccu
ivo. Thcro are , in fact , now some
iion at Fort Smith , Arkansas , under
Icath sentence , and an application
ms been made for their reprieve. , It
s thought that it should bo granted
after investigationtdnd the question
nriaes how it is to io'dono. There is
but a month left in which to act upon
ho matter. There is a cast ) in point
n ono of the states east of the Alle-
jhonics , where it has been found that
i man was unjustly convicted and
sent to the penitentiary. The only
way to rectify tlio blunder as far as
possible is through the executive
wrdon. It has been promised and
recommended by the proper authorities -
ties ; but the president cannot bolroub-
cd with business , and in the meantime
tho'man u wearing the garb of a con
vict until the p.irdon can bo signed.
LIls naino and that of the state are
suppressed out of roi/ard for his repu-
, ion , which would suffer further injus-
: ice through usulesa publicity.
It is urged by certain ofiicials that
if the Vice President wcro clothed
with the proper authority the execu
tive business could bo adjusted in
a short timo. Tlio objection
raised , however , is that it is
not clear upon whom would devolve
Lhu duty of saying that the con
stitutional "inability" exists that
would make it obligatory upon Gen
eral Arthur to act. It is also urged
; > y the objectors that while the con
stitution may not provide for the as
sumption of presidential duties by the
vice president , tiiero is no provision
for lolioviug him from the actual
position of president after he has once
taken it. It bids fair to bo a pusuding
question unless relieved by the presi
dent's speedy recovery.
NEW JKUSEV is greatly , agitated
over the question of corporation tav
shirkin" . In Hudson county , which
includes Jersey City , Hoboken and
Bergen , the value of property of rail
road companies wlneh is exempt from
taxation amounts to the enormous
sum of $ ( > 'J,1D3,325 , considerably
more than two-thirds as much as is
all the other taxable property in the
count } ' . In other portions ot the
elate the same condition of affairs is
alarming the taxpayers and raising
the question whether there is anything
in the constitution or son-ices of rail
ways to the people which affords suf
ficient excuse for such wholesale ex
emption from taxation.
New Jersey is not alone in her com
plaint against those monopoly tax
shirkers. In Nebraska the burdens of
the government are greatly increased
by the shameful evasion of taxation
by railroad monopolies. With privi
leges creator than are granted to indi
viduals or corporations which are not
common carriers they systematically
shirk two-thirds of the sum \\hiuh
they would otherwise ) bo required to
puy into the etato treasury and
increase by that amount the taxes of
our prouucors. In Illinois the taxa
tion of a single railroad has paid the
expense of maintaining the state gov
ernment and liquidated the state debt.
California by her now constitution has
compelled the Central Pacific to bear
its share of the burdens of govern
ment , Wisconsin and Pennsylvania
have enacted rigid laws for the assessment -
mont and collection of taxes from cor
porations. Nebroiko , with her scanty
population compared \ with these
slates , cannot afford to let the tax
shirking process continue , and if wo
do not mistake the temper of her people
ple , will iake steps to prevent its
repetition in the future.
Oi'R new board of education has
been hampered in its usefulness by a
legocy which their predecessors be
queathed to their care in the shape of
the r.cw Cass street school house.
There is cither a good deal of crook-
cdnass in the contract or A great deal
of botching in the architect of that
unsightly building. Whether it is
safe or not it is a bungled job that
does not commend the old board , who
adopted the plans and lot the con
tract.

TIIR charge for carrying a ton of
grain from Chicago to Now York by
railroad is $2.40. For this sum the
railroads load and unload the grain.
A ton is the weight of ton average
passengers. If the latter were carried
at the same rate as grain the charge
would bo twenty-four ccnta a head
and the passengers would do their
own loading and unloading.
