expedition to ssarch for the
missing boat and her crew.
Thu history of the Jcanncttu is IIH
follows : In July , 1875 , Captain , now
Sir Alien Young , who was a volunteer
in the expedition of Sir Leopold Jlc-
Clintock in lKj't ' , which definitely net
tled the question of Sir John Frank
lin's fate , sailed on n private expedi
tion , fitted out partly at his own ox-
peimo and partly at that of 1/uly
Franklin. His vessel was the Pandora ,
a bark-rigged ntoam yacht , -120 tons ,
purchased of the government , by
uliich it had been built in I8 < U , for
a imvul disiitch ] : boat. His object
was , if possible , to go through thu
northwest passage by thu route which
Sir iluhn Franklin took , and incident
ally recover the records which Sir
< ) ohn , it is believed , numt havu dc-
pimitud in the vicinity of King Wil-
linm'nLnnd. CnpUiin Young snccecdcd
in getting within twenty niiles of
King VYilliam's Land , but at that
point found the icu impenetrable
and returned thu satno season , arriv
ing in England in October. Thu next
year he had intended to renew the ef
fort , but was sent out in the Pandora
by the Iliitish government with sup
plies for the Alert anil Discovery.
Those , im it happened , wcru never
received , being deposited nt Littleton
island , the former camping place of
Capt. Buddington , nt which place
Capt. Narofl did not call. The Pun-
dura was afterward sold to .fames
Gordon Bennett , of the Now York
Herald , who changed her nnmo to the
Jeanncttu , and Hunt her out or. n voy
age of discovery by way of Bohring'a
strait , She sailed under American
colors from San Francisco , July 8 ,
1870 , commanded by ollicers of thu
United States navy , at the head of
whom wore Limit. George W. Do Long ,
and Lieut. Charles W. Chipp , who
had considerable Arctic oxporicncu on
board the Juniata , in 1B7I1 , when she
went in search of dipt. Hud-
dington's portion of thu
people. In connect ion
with that search these ollicora undo u
long boat voyage. The Jeannotto'n
whole company consisted of thirty-
one perilous.
OUR SILENT ARMY-
An in tores ting article m a Into num
ber of Lradstreot'H ' discusses the cost
if our nctivo and silent armies , and
makes comparison with thu military
expenses of France , Circat Britain.
and ( lormnny. These countries
maintain costly armies , and annually
expend thu following miuib on their
account : Franco , $100,000,000 ; < ior-
many. $80,000,000 ; Great Hrituin ,
,830,000. Thcso Jiguros have boon
obtained from thu latest avnilablu of
ficial publicatioiiH. Turning to the
United Ktatus it is found that the
expenditures on our army proper are ,
in round numbers , about J ? 10,000,000.
In IHT'.I they amounted to $10,4'-
000 , Last year they wore , owing
to reductions made for political pur
poses , but little moro than $ : i8,000-
000. Thu average expenditure , how-
vor for a number of yearn havu been
fully up to the said sum of forty mil
lions. Turning to the silent army of
penuionurs the expenditure for 1880 is
idiown to bu # T > 7i2lO,5 0. The num
ber of penidoncm upon thu lint was
then 250,801 ! , and under the arrears
of pensions net have beun largely in
creased. Over
eight thousand wore
added to thu roll last year , increasing
the expenditure on this account by
thu amount of $2:1,100,014. : Thu cost
then of our uclivo and silent
armies , in round numbers , is
.17,000,001) ) . This , Hays Urad-
street's , "exceeds the amount ex-
pcnded by ( treat Itritain for her army ,
including her at my pension roll , by
$ L'0,000,000 ; exceeds the amount ex
pended by the ( ierninn empire by
some 815,000,000 , and nearly equals
the Hum expended by Franco. " Thcsu
are sUrlling llgutvH , and will striku
thu.-tu who have never given thu sub
ject consideration with amusement.
This is not thu whole
of it. Tlio com
missioner of pensions declares that
there is a deficit of 20,000,000 in thu
IHIUBIOII payments of thu currant year ,
which , if granted by congress , will
bring the expenditure on account IIDf
thu active and silent armies up to
? 117,000,000 , a sum $17,000,000 , in
excess of tliu amount expended by thu
country which maintains the largest
ntunding army in the world. Xo other
country allows micli u costly pen
sion list as that of the United States.
At thisj time *
175,000 pensioners re
main tl.u rolls and
upon , theru is no
telling iiow many nru yet to bo added
tu increase thu national burdoni. Jiu-
ioro thu passage of thu arrears of pen
sions net the highest , nmunnt paid out
in any ono year wu-i in 1871 , when
the figures reached f 34,4-Ja,000. From
that point , tu the natural result of
dfttlu among pensioner * , tlio pnsion
list bognii to decrcato until , in 1878 ,
the amount of payments was reduced
to . ? - > ? , IH7,000. I'ntlor the arrears
nut HID t'\penditurcn rote to moro
than $57,000,000 in 1880 This year
thu sum will reach at lonst seventy
millions , and upward , and exceed that
sum by at least one-half during the
year following ,
CLEANSE THE CITY.
The Hupublican calls upon Mnwhal
Angoll tu enforce the law , and grows
uloiUitit | ! over the death which lurks
in garhngo heaps and hidcn in anh
barrels.
Bill \\hy is the press of Omaha
silent in er a more dangerous tilthincss
which is napping the moral health of
this city7
Isn't it a fact that vicu and crime
in their most dangerous forms are
hrn/.iMily asserting themselves in the
Thliil waid of this city ? Every ro
spectabh * and -abiding citi/en of
Omaha I.IIOWH that the robbers'roost
iiuileu3Bii ] ) ! of crime v , hero strangers
are decoyed and way-laid , and boys
and young men attracted by low and
depraving exhibitions , ought not to
b permitted to poison the rtmo.sphoro
of this rily. No one believes for a
moment that they cannot be rokun up
by the proper ollhcrs of the * lavif
they tire oiduiud to do HO by the
mayor.
It is high tinio that thu sentiment
of Omaha should maku itself felt on
tliittiiieHtioi ) . On the -2 < 1 of October
in thu editorial columns of this paper
thu editor of Tin : Bin : Killed upon thu
committee , which wan headed by Col.
Smith , to dovotu their attention to
thcsu sinks of vice , and promised them
under such circumstances the niora !
support of this community. At the
time of Col. Smith's murder thu editor
of the BKI ; made a personal appeal to
Mayor Itoyd and Deputy Marshal Me
Cluro to enforce the law against the
vilu dciw whoru .crimu was daily plot
ted and perpetrated and where our
young mun woru being turned into
criminals. Ho was informed that tinder
dor thu operation of the now licensi
law all Kiich low resorts would bu compelled
polled to go oul ol business.
And now it is intimated
to thu people of Omaha
that every application for n licunsu
accompanied by the necessary bond
will be granted. It i suggested thai
tlio city authorities havu not tin
power to suppress the schools of vici
where thieves , cut throats and thug
hold riot. And the threat is inadi
that no man can filu his objectior
ngaitmt this class of applicants fo
liquor license without running tin
risk ot being waylaid and murdered
What do the law-abiding citi/.ona o ;
Omaha proposu to do about it
Will they have the eourago to ooiiv
to the front und demand that th
decency and good nnmo of this com
munity shall not any .longer < be B <
openly outraged , the lives of decon
people cndangcrud and the morals o
the . young mon of our city put n :
jeopardy ?
Will they say to the keepers of thosi
criminal rouorts ' 'Tho law
, has placu <
it in our power to close up your don
and we propose to do it ? "
And by voicing on inasau tlio senti
ment of every respectable jnan
and woman in this city will they bring
thu force of an overwhelming public
sentiment to bear upon the feeble wills
of the city ofliclals.
Kvory citizen of Omaha is indignant
ever the disgraceful condition of our
thoroughfares. Tiitty domaiid that the
streets shall bo cleaned and that the
reeking alloy * shall ho scoured of their
tiltliinons.
Will they bu eiiially | urgent in de
manding that the law shall be applied
to the dirty schools of crime and vice
which infest our city und in insisting
that Omaha shall b < > thoroughly
clean.Hod of sink holes which brood
more : liseano than muddy crossings or
filthy alleyways ?
TJIK Sprinuliold Republican has
heard of Nebraska liquor legislation ,
and remarks :
Advocates of prohibitory and of
stringent license provisions in liquor
legislation tire now likely to neo their
respective theories given u trial on ira
largo scalu in thu west , side by side
and in siniilurcomniuuitius. Ciov. St I
John , of Kansas , with thu backing he
has. will do what can bu donn with
pro' ihibition in thu state , and in No
uraska a law is just coming into force
which imposes a license feu of 41,000 *
on saloons in thu larger cities and
$500 in towns and villages. fJ
i.s hoped that the ollVct of this law
will bo to greatly diminish thu num
ber of drinking-places , particularly
those of thu lower clasti , and ro.su It In
are BO far promi iur. ; Omaha , with Ind Ina
population of a little over IK,000 had
about ItiO saloons , and it is reported
that 100 of them will bo shut up , an
only l0 ! are ready to pay for licenses.
It is expected tlmt thu law will s.of
ligidly unforced from thu action of
dealers tlumiHolvca , as tho.to who pay ' ;
thu high fees uill , for the good uf'

YEAR'slREETING. '
OUR NEW .

1st , 1882.
Tlio CoinlliK Pictorial Supplement of
the Dally BPH.
- -
Kor several year * it has been the
custom and ploniuiro of the publishers
of TJIK HKB to issue n pictorial sup
plement , Tvhich has contained iho
principal features of tlio progress of
Omaha , a resume of its business and
building , and carefully prepared cal
culations of the growth in other direc
tions of the ( into City of thu west.
That these large publications have
fen of incalculable bonutit tu
10 city at home , mid especially
Uroad , there can bo no ( mention. J
On .lunuaiy 1 , 1882,111 , accordance 1
ith this custom , Tin : HKK will issue
us mippliMiicnt , larger , with bettor
nirnvitigr' ; ' , and in nil icspccts supn-
tor to that published at any tinio
erelofore. In the next annual pub-
cation , which has eomo to bo recog-
i/.cd as an especial feature of
I'm : ! : : , no expense < > r etl'ort will bo
pared to give an accurate and com-
Icto presume of ( Omaha's busi-
icss of 1881 , and finely executed en-
ravings of the principal structures
, hat hiive been erected. The coming
( Hiblication will diller from thuHO of
ho past years in that , it will contain
mly the illustrations of such build-
ngs as have been erected during the
receding twelve months , but none of
prospective structures.
To obtain correct and beautiful engravings -
gravings of these buildings photo
graphs have boon carefully taken and
> ut into the hands of the best and
urgcst engraving linn of the north
west , Seifcrt & Schoollbl , of Mil
waukee. The reputation of this widely
mown engraving IIOUHO is so well
jstnblishcd that it cannot bo doubted
that the engravings will bo of tlio
most satisfactory nature.
In the resume of the building ,
Manufacturing , productions and busi
ness of Omaha , for 1881 , the most
careful work is being -done. Agents
have been industriously employed
since September 1st , guthoiing statis
tics pertaining to the above mentioned
features of the city's growth and pros
perity. it is the desire of the pub
lishers of TIIK IJr.E to give in
the coming supplement a full
list of all buildings , of every nature
and dcsiuiption and all building im
provements ; correct figures concerning
all industries instituted and the pro
duction of all manufactories ; accurate
figures of all business transacted by
corporations , firms and individuals ;
and a director } ' of all societies and or
ganizations of every nature , which the
city can lay claim to.
To eiiHiiri ! thoHB figures and
statiaticH fully and accurately
it is requested by the publishers of
TJIK Ilia ; that the work of the agents
employed in gathering thu same be
facilitated by the sending of informa
tion to Tin : BKK otlico of every build
ing and building improvement during
1881 ; the amount and value of pro
ductions by every manufactory ; and
ho names , number of members and
officers of every nocioty ; together with
all additional facts connected with the
progress of Omaha since last January.
Thus an accurate and complete publi
cation will bu insured , and duo credit
given tn each department of the
growth and progress of the coming mo-
tropolit , of tlui northwest.
