Tin ; president has filled the vacancy on the supreme court bunch , loft by the death of Justice CltQord , by the Appointment of Judge Horace Gray of Massachusetts.

Mr , Browatcr , wJio has tlio rep utation of being a man of unswerving integrity and a practical reformer , will do well to look up the subject in the interests of the swindled suttlcra \ of Now Mexico , MAYOR BOYD'S DUTY. Wo have no personal quarrel with James 12. Boyd. Ho is an cnlorpris. ing , public-spirited citix.cn and no body in Omaha has gone farther tlun the editor of this paper in giving practical expression in recognition of these admirable qualities. But if James E. Boyd as mayor of Omaha fiiils to do MM sworn duty in executing the laws , if ho ' tolerates disreputable resorts and obstructs any effort to rid the community of vile duns , wo must exercise the highest privilege and duly of a journalist to express our disapproval of his course. \Vo still insist that Mayor Boyd , and hi1 alone , must bo held responsible for the enforcement of the Slocumb law in Omaha. The Omaha Republican attempts a defense of Mayor Boyd'n ' course in thin connection , and wo cheerfully give Mr. Boyd tlio full benefit of that defense. In mihstanco it is an follows : Tin ; BKK pitches into Omaha and the mayor of the city without regard to utility , decency or truth. There is no utility in a public journal assort ing 'that this city is in the hands of diunkeii bullies and of thugs. There would bo no decency in arraigning Mayor Boyd for any shortcomings which , if it exists , is duo to the inad equate police force with which the city ia supplied. Ilerois anityof10,000 souls , with a police numbering only twelve , one to every y.HOO people. A community must bo a singularly law- iibidinc community , which presents BO few cases of violence and disorder , with a force so numerically inadequate , Nor , finally , is there any truth in Rosowator's arraignment of the mayor. Wo asked the mayor , on yesterday , what ho had to Bay .in reply to llosc- watur'a assertion that his first step in the Slocumb business was to cater o tlio liquor dealers by recognizing the evasion of the letter and spirit of the law concerning notice of publication from ench applicant for license , "llo Dimply tclln a falsehood , " replied Mayor Boyd. Thin is decidedly lame to say the least. least.Thia Thia paper hat made no assertion that Omiilia in in the hands of drunken bullies , and of thugri ; but wo hnvu ntnted the fact that Omaha ImH n hard name abroad by reason ol tolerating a class of difiroputablodons , where bloody and murderous nll'rays and robberies are frequent , and wo entered protosl against the proposoc issuance of license to reHorts whore men and boys are decoyed by inde cent shows and debauched and robbed. The plea that the mayor can't Blip- press such hell holes because he baa only twelve policemen ia un insult to an intelligent community. Couldn't Mayor Boyd suppress the St. Elmo with twelve policemen ? Couldn't he close Dick Curry's and other dens whore bloody frays have often taken place ; where gambling , prostitu tion and debauchery are carried on under the eyes of the police' ' Ono policeman acting under the orders of the mayor should bo nufliciont force to close any disorderly house. If the ofllcer is resisted and it becomes a question of force , the mayor of Omaha can call upon every law-abiding citi zen to help biip. enforce law and il need bo ho can call upon the governor for military assistance , and the whole power of the elate will bo exerted to Buntnin him. The intimation that wo nro pitching into the mayor because ho advised the iwloon men only to advertise twice instead of twelve timea is disproved by the fact that the editor of THE BKK baa time and again urged Mayor Boyd to supproBH the robbers' roontn and low dens and baa also made fre quent appeals to Deputy Marshal McClure to the Bfttno effect. Wo had all along boon led to be lieve tliis would bo done by the en forcement of the Slocumb law , but the mayor's course virtually nnllifios that law. Waiving the question of publication the mayor holds that anybody that pays the 3200 and files his bond is entitled to a liconsu unload objections are tiled. Why should respectable citizona of Omaha bu compelled to file such objec tions nt the risk of being vraylaid by desperadoes , when the mayor could relieve them from this rink by doing bis duty in closiny every resort which harbors thieves and thugs. The Republican ou.liohalf of Mayor Boyd , asks what right bus this Roue- water to see the names of the bondu- men , and what right ha * this Rosewater - water to tny that lioonse tire to bo granted to irresponsible parties on etriiw bonds ? We answer as a citizen and tax payer "this Rosowtttor'1 has the right to nee papers that are on file in the city clork'i oflico , but ho ban asked for the names , not for personal but public use. The people of Omaha should know who tlio bondsmen are for the various applicants , and Mayor Boyd and the board ought to bo glad to avail themselves of any informa tion the citizens may give as to the responsibility of bondsmen not after the license has been granted but be fore. fore.Whon When the mayor , through the ] city clerk ruled that , nobody ex cept the board should BOO these bonds until after Now Years , the natural inference was tlm1 straw bonds might bo accepted. Our pretest againtst such rulings is on behalf half of law and order and the public welfare. If Mayor JJoyd had ahowi backbone enough to break up BUC ] pluccs an Iho St , Khno , where wo are told by Police Judge Boncko cloven empty pocket-books wcro picked up one night after the performance , there would bo no need of such public re- nonslranco. But ho seems to think liia duty is to give the law interpre- fttion that its only object is , to exact heavy license fee , regardless of who may be the applicant. Wo don't believe this was the intcn- .ion of the law , and wo insist on bo- i.tlf of more than ninety-nine per cent [ > f our people that the mayor iihall ilo his duty in thin emergency. In order thst wo may bo clearly un- ilerstood , wo will add that wo favor the issuance of license to every appli cant who is well behaved and keeps an orderly house whether ho sold liquor before thn ordinance wonl into ollVct or not providing ho fi'es ' hia papers and yays his dues. A DANGEROUS MONOPOLY. An alarming discovery , which must send a thrill of horror through this community has been made by Iho Omaha Republican within the last few days. Thia discovery is nothing less than that THK BKK is a monopoly which threatens public security , and more particularly the existence and prosperity of rcadorlcss newspapers in Omaha. What constitutes this terrible monopoly ? THK BKK haa 2,500 sub- Bcribors on its regular lists in Omaha to whom it delivers papers through fifteen carriers. In addition to these it nells about fiOO on the streets. The Republican delivers 500 papers by four carriers to reg ular subscribers in Oinalia , and sells about 100 on thu streets through newsboys. In other words , Tut : BKU circulate.1) in Omaha five tiincn thu number of papers circulated by The Republican , and more than twice ( ho number cold by both Tlio Herald and Republican combined. Wo admit that at first glance thie looks like a monopoly of the news paper circulation in Omaha and when the number and character of ita advertisements are taken into consideration the case ia no better. Sensible busintsi men have n prejudice in favor of putting their advertisements where they will bo read by the greatest number of pee ple. Hence they patronize the BKK. They also rccognizo the fact that it is worth more to print and circulate ! & ,000 papers than it is to print and circulate ( iOO. Therefore they willingly pay a larger sum for advor- ti ing in THK BKK than they do toTho Republican , The state , also insists upon putting its license advertising in papers having the largest sworn circu lation because the otato wishes ita advertisements too bo read. The price to be charged for such advertising is fixed by law. It ia thu same for the most obscure and the most widely cir culated paper. There can be no mo nopoly in the price of such license advertising vortising which ia fixed way below the sum usually charged by TUB BKK to its regular patrons. But aa THK BKK .was the only paper in Omaha that dared to swear to ita circula tion , under I he law it bus received the license advertising , and forged another link n the chain of the grasping nowspa > or monopoly which ia squeezing the ituiTing out of its Omaha contempor aries. , Granting with The Republican bat THK BKK ia a monopoly , wherein does it differ from other monopolies which the people are about to Bup- press. In the first place it la monopoly maintained willingly and 'roely by the people , because it bcs inoeta their wanta. THK BKK has i monopoly of enterprise , of publii spirit , of fearloasnea * in exposing and attacking evils , and in defending whal t believes to be right regardless o ; patronage. This ia the kind monopoly which the people like , and they show their appreciation of it by supporting the paper and extending ita circulation until it is nov without a rival or competitor , By auch. action they incrouso it value to advertisem , who in turn maintain its dangerous monopoly in advertising bocauao they find it profit able. But such a monopoly as thu posscBscd by THK BKK dilium fron other monopolies because it ! H tonni nablo at the will of the people. Maintained tainod by them , it can bo terminate at any time when they cancel the ! subscriptions. TJIK BKK'H monopoly haa never pooled issue * with otbe : and disreputable sheets ; it haa neve crushed out opposition by lowerin rates or by hiied bulldozers , and i has never forced its services upo patrons and compelled a use of it facilities. This may bu n dangerous monopoly , but the people aoem cheerful un ita inllictlons , and show no dinpoait to restrict its sphere of usefulness. M . B , II. BitKWriTKit who has jus boon confirmed aa attorney general i the United States ia a native of No Jersey and is sixty-five years of ago , Ilo wiis graduated at Princeton i 1834 , admitted to the bar of Philade' phi A in 1838 and soon afterwurda wa appointed by President Polk to pa ; upon thu claims of the Cherokee Ii diaiis against the United States. H rapidly acquired a largo practice an a reputation us one of the best advocates at the Philadelphia bar. In 1807 ho was appointed attorney general of Pennsylvania , and continued in that oflico for tno years. Ho has been repeatedly named for other oflices , such aa United States senator , attorney general of the Uni- led States , and district attorney of Philadelphia , but did not obtain any oi them because ho did not actively geek them. Jlr. Browator haa never been a politician in the sense in which that term is usually understood. Ho has always taken n deep interest in politics , but lias never Bought to profit by them. Ho is n believer in civil reform , and in the theory that a man should bo shown to bo honest and capable before ho is elected or ap pointed to ollice. Vet so great was hia reputation and popu larity that in 1877 , when ho was the working men's nominee for district attorney of Philadelphia , ocamo within one vote of obtaining ho nomination in the republican con dition , although the bosses were op- rosed to him. As a matter of fact , t is reported that Mr. Brewstor has oat appointments to many high oflices > ecauso ho would not pledge himself use their patronage for the benefit f the persona who offered them to im. Mr. Browstor is a profound cholar nnd an admirable writer upon istorical and literary topics , and as , n orator is wotidrously eloquent. On he political platform ho ia always welcome , and his speeches in the last residential campaign wcro among the most effective delivered for the ropub- can party. IP woman nufrrugn over docs become law { -Senator Vest will certainly Imvo ) retireto private life. When Senator Tear , a few days ago , introduced a cBolution into the United States son- te , providing for the appointniont of select cohnnittoo to which should bo eforred all mutters pertaining to roman suffrage , Mr. Vest had the eel audacity to rise in his seat and lemnnd tint it bo referred to the Committee on Revolutionary CliiiniH. lli'm committee , he said , had seen called upon to con- idor but ono bill in liirty years and he considered it watt ho proper place for the consideration if such revolutionary subjects aa vonmu'u suffrage. In consequence of his disrespectful remark , Mr. Vest las incurred tlio hatred of the woman iufiragists of the country , headed by aged but valiant revolutionary relic , Susan B. Anthony. AccoitiiiNO to tlio Cincinnati Coin nvrcial , Ex-Ronator Paddock is cer- am of the appointment as assistant secretary of the treasury. Our ad- ices are that Mr. Paddock haa de clined the position. We know that kfr. Paddock is hold in high esteem > y President Arthur , and we shall not bo surprised if he receives a call for cabinet appointment of the trans-Mis as a representative - souri region. Kansas haa waved her claims , and Nebraska is certainly en- itled to recognition before Colorado or Nevada. Mr. Paddock has acquired invalu able experience in public life , and bo ng yet in hia prime would doubtless make a very efficient head of a de partment. SOMK five or six years ago THU BF.H was put on the official list of the post office department. Lost week our Washington reporter , in looking at the records , found the following pen cil writing on the book opposite to TUK BEK'S name , "Stricken from the list by order of General Brady. " It is evident that TUK BKK no longer has a "monopoly" of the postal ad vertising. It was the object of the tar route thieves to give as little pub licity to their schemes for plunder aa possible. A paper of smaller circula tion and loss influence than TUB BKB wan required for advertising the routes on whoso proceeds Brady , Dorsey & Co. lived and grow fat. Inornate in Nebraska Trada Since July , 1881. Jli'tiditrertii' January reference books that are now being delivered show a largo increase in the state trade since the July volume. Towns that wore started last spring and July were in their infancy ; now have from ten to thirty business houses. About twelve hundred now Urius have been added to the list in Nebraska since August , at which time the revision for the fall edition was cloned. Quite a number of business houses have gene out of trade for various reasons during this time , but we are assured that the actual increase is fully three-fifths of the number stated above. The growth of trade hiw not boon us rapid as last spring , which change is to bo looked for in the fall when people become more set tled and defer changes until spring , The books also show that since August Itith new banks have boon organized , making in all one hundred and thirty-six bunkinghouses in our young state. The field lias boon thoroughly revised by the Omaha oflico for their new volume , which has boon delivered to the local trade eleven days before date. FARMERS AND MECHANICS.
