Before thi .can bo done effectively
ho police force should be ruorganiwM
> y placing a man at its head who hoi
ho courage to go wherever duty call
lim , the firmness to enforce dia
ciplinu among his subordinates , and tin
will to exact obedience to law from al
classes.
Whether Mayor Uoyd acts upon oui
suggestion or remains indifferent t (
; ho lesson of the hour , the citizens o
Jniftha who value society , lifo am
property , must take decisive stops fo
uutual protection. They must couu
sol together and join hands in an of
'ort to rid this city of its dangorou
element. The preliminary stop
should bo taken without delay.
THE PROOF WANTED.
Mayor Boyd in reported aa unyin
that thu licensing board will bo compelled
polled under the law to grant licens
to all applicantB unless the proof i
produced that they are unfit to sol
liquors.
And what proof will natisfy thi
scrupulous licunso committee ? D
they oxpuct every man who has Iwo
thumped and robbed in Twelfth ntrec
dives to appear before thunr and pri
test against the issuing of license t
the keepers of the robbers roosts an
dons which disgrace the Third wart
Will they require a record of th
drinks sold to minont , of the indocon
exhibitions put upon the boards , o
the rowH and riots which have bee
mipprossod by the police ?
What proof will satisfy the con
sciences of Mayor Boyd and his ass *
ciatcs ? Will the records of the polic
court , which shown the disorder !
character of the dens of the Thir
ward , meet the requirements of thos
gentlemen ? Or will they need a scor
of am'davitH sworn to by individut
citizens , whoso sunso of decency ho
been ( mocked and whoso oars hav
boon oO'endud by the horrible orgii
which have diwgracod certain portior
( if our city ?
Perhaps if the mayor would mali
a tour of inspection ho might recovi
a few things of which ho is now t
blissfully ignorant. The city nmi
shitl and his deputy might bo pnmpc
tit ooino advantage.
Judge Hnneku could possibly mi ]
lily a little information by the USB in
anco of liin docket , which woul
throw some light im thu number (
poukot which liavu been picked , an
men robbbd and buatun in thu slim
of this city. If the proof is wanti ;
it will doubtU'Hs bo forthcoming i
sulllcient quantity. Lot the mayor i

That is but on outline of the won
erful work aocompliihed in the wenl

In Nebraska the construction ol
nain lines and feeders was not visibly
etarcJod by the enactment of the
Joann law , and the predictions of the
ail road press have proven as remote
rom truth as the vast ma-
ority"of their statements. Capi
tal "did not scare worth rent
ont ; " there was a big per
cut in the near future , and the duo
ats were forthcoming OB rapidly ai
locdcd. The Union Pacific hoi
hrown out feeders north and south
while the B. & M. has laid a no ?
rack of rails over the southern tier o
counties , which secure it , practically
undisputed sway in that section. Thi
Denver extension of thin line in th
noot important work to the state inaugurated
auguratod in the present year , and
with the Juloaburg cut-off of th
Union Pacific , will give Nobrask
merchants , in time and distance ,
vast advantage over all competitor
for the Colorado trade. The Mit
sotiri Pacific extension from Atcbinor
Kansas , to Omaha , now within a fo
months of completion , will open a no
and near market for the products <
the Missouri river counties , in uithi
Omaha , Kansas City , or St. Loui
and raise thu embargo placed upu
trallic by the Missouri river to
tiaten. With the completion of th
line and the branches projected I
the B. .t. M. , Soutl'iern Nebraal
will have a system of railroat
fully capable of moving hi
products uitnt or south. Northei

, To compute the number of mil
of new road constructed in Iowa tl
present year would be a Herculon
task. Every county in the state
cross-sectioned with roads running
every point of the compass. Tl
moat important line under vonsuti
tion is the extension of the Chicag
