disUsto of thu younger and moot in
telligent class of voters tor anything
of a political nature must be largely
traced to disgust at the nominating
process t\t carried on under the rule
of rings , bosses nnd machines. At
the late election the indignation at
the prostitution of political privileges
took the form of a lively revolt in a
number of otales and in New York
and I'omiHylviuiia made itself felt in
the disaffection of thons.inds of voters
to the ranks of the opposing parly.
In Nebraska Tin : MKK hai for

of prim.iry purification. No state liai
fuiti'crod more from the poisoning of
its political fonntainhead than our
own. livery election for the past
eight yeara lun been attended by the
debauching of our primaries and the
packing of political conventions in the
interest of the rail way monopolies. Last
win tor a bill w.vs introduced into the
legislature by Senator Van Wyck
which contemplated the regula
tion of the primaries by law.
This bill was quietly smothered to
death by tlio r.iilroad attorney'i *
after it had p.iiied thu senate and before
fore it had been presented to the house
for its consideration.
Several of our states , notably Ohio
ind Pennsylvania , already POSJCSH
LiWis regulating Iho primaries , and in
i number of others the subject is be
ng actively discussed. It is ono of
he mo.it significant results of the late
italo elections , in which the machine
n both parties suffered so severely ,
.hat not only the people outside of
ho oflicc-holdcrtt and oll'ico-makers ,
Mil also 'ho practical politicians
iru urging legislation to recognize
lie caucus , au'd to provide for the
nirity and safety of the process
ty which part } * candidates are noini-
latod. Mr. Lnrnod , a Jiiill'iilo editor ,
nd a politician who knows all about
ity caucuses , has lately boon dincuss-
ig the question with great ability in
series of luttois to the public. His
Bincdy foe the existing evils which
timid the primary is to surround the
lominating process with the sauio lo-
al chocks and guarantees that now
it no mid the electing process. Ho
reposes a legal election day for party
ominatioim under exactly the same
onditioiia aa the election day for the
nul choice. Under this plan no one
ould vote at a primary unless ho was
nown to belong to the party that called
t , while repeating and ballot boxBtnlf-
ng wouldbo made a crime. Such a plan
rould requite a system of registration
f voters , according to their party
ililiationn. liy this moans , with the
irecautions above stated , primaries
Yould bo ell'ectually purified.
It is gratifying to HCO the growing
nturost which is taken in this qucs-
.ion , because a thorough ventilation
nicl discussaon of the evils of our pri-
narysyHtem must precede anyaderjuato
omcdy. Such a general discussion
9 nccoHsarily restricted because the
ivils nf dobaiiched primaticu are less
aiown to thu mass of voters in the
lountry disttiets than in the cities ,
'n Iho country the caucus becomes
noru a meeting of friends and neigh
jora , to consider which ono of their
lumber shall roprcsont them in publio
if-- , and as the political sentiment of
ivory voter is well known in the
iommunity , such corruption in nonii-
mting is practically impossible. But

jnilly known the people will rise in

its political choice is as great a crime
us plundoringa traveler on thu highway

our society , no less thun the existence
i < f our political system demands that
it bo allowed to proceed no longer.
Ax interesting suit designed to test
the rights of railroad corporations to
charge exorbitant special rates for
traiibporlatiiig products that involve
no special risk to the public carrier
has been begun in a Now York court.
A milkman sues thu New York Cen
tral to iccnvor overcharges made by
that road on daily shipments of milk
to Now York Oily. The judge who
is not free from anspicion of having
secured hin place on the bench through
railroad influence refused to permit
the case to go to the jury until it hat
been shown that the payments wen
not voluntary. They probably won
a ! voluntary as are the payment
made by low.t and Nebraska shipper
to Iho Omaha bridge monopoly whicl
u.xncti onu dollar for tr.irmfcrin
a ton nf froigiit across the Missour
over a distance of two miles.
No more temporary improvement
for Omaha. Every dollar oxpundec
for such improvements is a rookies
was to.
If a tax is to bo levied for laying
pavements the material used slioiih
afford a ruaionahla guarantee * Ilia
Iho lax will not bo imposed ng.undur
ing at least one goncr.ition.
\ \ ith the present property assess
tnentfl it will bo impossible to pave
the streets with the proceeds of a
special tax levied against real estate
abutting on the paved street , with
any kind of pavement because the tax
oven for the cheapest pavement
would bo in excess of the legal tax
limit.
It is therefore nulf evident that the
only way to raise the necessary funds
for paving , will bo by bonds.
It is safe to predict that no bonds
will bo voted for paving our utreela
unless the tax payers feel assured that
wu dhnll not bo called on to vote
bonds for ropaving the streets that
have been paved with the piocoeds of
the first pavement bonds. The only
way wo can carry a. pavement bond in
Omaha will bo on condition that it
shall bo expended for the most sub
stantial stone pavements. This fact
should not bu lost sight of in the dis-
'ii about paving.
VAMSNTINK has withdrawn from the
senatorial race to become a third
term candidate for thu lower houso.
This is very timely and reassuring.
If thii piogrammo could bo carried
out it would give Val two strings to
his bow. He would nriko sure of
another term in congress in'cauo ho
failed in the senatorial RICO and afford
him a chance after his re-elet-
tion to congress to bargain and barter
with other candidates for the vacancy
in the lower house in case of his elevation -
vation to senatorial honors.
Jtut there i ) no imminent d.uigor
thr.t Yul's programme can bo success
fully carried out. The people of Nebraska -
braska are about through bointr dis
graced by bass wood representatives
, n congress. If the corporate mon-
jpolies that foisted Yalontino into his
icat proposes to nominate any more
tappers for such positions they will
iayo to put forward mon of brains

lo remarks :

nd one who haa never tried it can
lardly ima ino how oxhilorating it ia.
t is surpassed by nothing but the ice
atclit , and haa the advantage of being

Just how much snow in the usual
ondition of our streets it takes "to
make the roads good1 the writer uii-
brtunatcly omits to tell.

Tito Coming Dolnrjo-
Sidney Dillon , ono of Jny Gould'
partner's , ia about to build the costli
est nnd moat ornate private residence
on this continent , H is to bo crcctui
at the coiner of Fifth avenue am
Seventy-sixth street , and the house
with the grounds surrounding it , wil
cover over thirteen city lots , four o
which will bo on Fifth avenue , Tlio
erection of this ostentatious dwelling ,
following HO close upon the complotioi
of the now and striking residences o
the Yanderbilt family , will draw the
attention of the public to the a t ac
cumulation of wuallh in a few hands
in thia country. 3n ita early history
the very rich of the United Status
were few in number ; the middle class
forming the bulk of the population ,
for the number of those who were st
very poor aa to bo necessitous WAS less
: han perhaps in any other country.
This was duo lo cheap land and con
stant demand for labor incident to a
lew community. But the material
cnnditiona of our national life are
changinu' rapidly. Aa great wealth
n putt generations uaa owing
o the monopolizing of land by
ho heads of a fuw families , Iho
Valuers of the constitution thought
hat when they had abolished primo-
; eniture and divided the properly of
.ho falhcr equally between the chil-
Iren , they had made ample provision
gainst the accumulation of wealth in
'ory ' few hands. But they did not
oreseo the immense developments of
ncdern industry , nor dream of the
fleet of the various mechanical im-
irovements of the coming era. Thu
nvnership of land is no longer nuces-
aiy iu order to possess great wealth.
Vast fortunes aio now made in bank-
ng , manufacturing and commerce , but
ni.ro . particularly in railway enter-
uiscs. Hence , in epito of the spirit
f our laws , the vast aggregations of
wealth are in the hands of the Van-
erbilta , Goulds , Dillons , Belmonta ,
Morgana and other noted persons ,
vho aie not largo landowners.
But it ia evident that the vast ac-
umulalion of property in cmnpara-
ively few hands muat bo at the ex-
leiiso of other classes in the
ommunity. People of moderate for-
unes are becoming fewer in number ,
vhilo there has of necessity been an
inmcnso relative increase in the mini-
) era of the poorer classes. Tha me-
hanical inventions which give for-
.unea . to the owners of practical pat
ents throw out of employment tens
of thousands of workmen , who , in
their middle and old ago , must learn
now industries in order to make a
living. The splendid buildings on
Fifth and Madison avenues represent
the losses made in business and spec
ulation by those who during the last
generation were in comfortable cir-
cumatances. A. T. Stewart , by his
competition , ruined thousands of mer
chants , and when he died he was said
to have over a hundred of his former
rivals among his employes.
The whole country ia to-day passing
through the experience of the state of
California. The discovery of bonan
zas on the Comstock lode gave that
state a period of great apparent pros
perity , but the final result of the
giuiibling spirit created was to sift two-
thirds of the visible wealth of the
community into the hands of less than
forty persond , whose mamiificont
dwellings in San Francisco compare
favorably with the highly ornamental
and costly palaces of the Vandorbilta
in Now York , Aa soon as the people
of the west coast realized the eitua-
tionDennisjKearncy came totho front ,
the two political partiea were broken
to pieces and a new constitution was
adopted , which aimed directly at the
great eorporationa ana the owners of
the wealth of the stuto , Quito a
number of these rich Californiana
have migrated to New York in cunso-
quoncoof the adoption of the now con
stitution. But if the wealth
of the country east of the
Sierra Novadaa is to bo monopolized
by a few bankers and railroad mug-
nates , will not the history of California
be repeated here 1 The revulsion of
187H brought the powerful republican
party to its knees and led to the for
mation of a greenback party , which
only u few years airo polled over 7o-
000 votes in thia state. Since the re
vival of trade the concentrating of
wealth into btill fewer hands has pro
gressed with extraordinary rapidity ,
and thoughtful men cannot but bo
startled when they think of the pos
sible chances of another great finan
cial catastrophe. Our men of many
millions t in their pursuit of enor
mous fortunes , have failed to
recognize any intercuts but their
own. They corrupt the press and
suborn the judiciary , they pnrclmsu
legislators and governors. They do
nothing for the church , for the state , '
orfor thocausH of education , Their
only recreation is horse racing ; they
do not c.ire to patronize lettois , and
their patronage of art ia to muku their
own private residences more conspicu
ous and their piclnro galleries more
talked about. Their thought is only
of self and their personal aggrandise
ment. When the great fl lancial ca
tastrophe which is brewing comes , as
it always does , when least expected ,
what will these men of many millions
bo able to reply tptho Dennis Kearneys
of Naw York , Philadelphia , Baltimore ,
Boston and all our largo cities }
What plea will thop have to ofl'er for
their robberies under the form of
law , for their debauching of the press
and legislative bodies for their plun
dering of the community by stock
waterings nnd money market manipu
lations ?
Thoughtful people cannot but re
alize that thu poor are getting poorer ,
that the middle class is seriously
diminishing in numbers , some few of
them becoming millionaires , but the
great bulk degenerating into people
who work for wagos. In the gigantic
operations of modern commerce , duo
to the railroad and thu telegraph ,
there ia little or no place for the
small trader or thu capitalist with
modern means. Two well-known
houses monopolize nearly the entire
retail B' ' ° cory business of the City of
New } ork. Builders say thnt'Iit is
only the costly houses that are bought.
With all nur prosperity , purchasers
aitinot bo found for the two thousands
of dwellings which have been erected
during the hit two yeara for people
of moderate means. The signs of
the the times are ominous. It is true
that labor ia employed , and nt
what would have seemed four
years ago to bo good wages ; but
since that time there has been
such an addition totho price of rent
nnd cost of living na to make the lot
of tno very poor na hard as ever. In
a statement published recently itvn
shown that I hero has been an average
advance of over forty-one per cent , in
the prices of the necessaries of life ,
while rents are still rising and the
price of food is almost sure to ad
vance.
It needa no prophet to foretell liow
this will nil end. The preternatural
activity in business will aoino day sud
denly collapse. The H warms of work
men now employed iu our factorica
and in building railroads will bo
thrown mil of employment. The
wealth of the community will bo found
lodged in a very few hands , nnd then
will como the strain onoiirinstitutions
so vividly foretold by Macauley. The
Hour.
