IT is not to bo expected that out
contemporaries will credit TUK BKK
with any good intention in its efforts
to rid the town of vile dens. But the
community nt largo cannot fail to un
derstand that thu board of license
was aided very materially in cominc
to an understanding of their duty by
TIIK KKK and its editor.
AimoH should at once bo taken by
the board of trade on thupavingqueB'
tion in order that our delegation to thu
legislature may bo prepared to act in
case of a aession of that body is con
vened by the governor. If it is de
cided to raise the funds for paving ,
by the issuing of bonds , the statement
of this object must be incorporated
in the governor's proclamation calling
together the legislature.
OFFICIAL IGNORANCE-
Ono of the moat singular facti
brought out by the license investiga
tion was the audden loss of momorj
which the witness aland produced ir

law breakers in Omaha. This is al
the moro remarkable from the fac
that these very men had vivid recol

before beinir called upon the aland
The same curious condition of thiny

I'obtal clerkb who had mad
> the most damaging disclosures to tl
editor of TUB HKK , regarding thu cm
duct of the postal ofliciala , forgot tl

in the presence of their superior
and lost their memories completely i

witnesses at the licemto invuatigatioi
If it had been understood ft
u moment that ( he board i
license was anxious" to rout 01
of existence the low dives und dona i
this city , no one doubts that the olli-
corsvho were placed on the stand
would have found their inomoriomory
quickly. Wo believe that the poliro
force in Omaha intend to perform
their duly , but they look to Iho mayor
and marshal for Iho interpretation of
what that duty is. They are
interested in having the dives
closed , where they risk their persons
and lives in making arrests , nnd in
endeavoring to quiet disturbances. If
they once fully understand that thu
government of this city wan deter-
minjd that not only the letter but
also thu spirit of the laws should bo
onfoiced , and thai such enforcement
would moot with encouragement at
hoadquirtern , matters would bu very
tlill'oront to-day in Omaha. It is bo-
cituau they knew that mich is not the
case , and felt that crirno waa being
winked al and apologized for by
by the city authorities , that otlicial
ignorance was so strongly manifested
boforn the licensing board. Ollicia
ignorance in investigations is too
often the result of a species of olticial
intimidation which frowns upon too
much knowledge of a kind which
may throw discredit upon superiors.
And this was largely thu cause of the
sudden loss of memory which a num
ber of witnesses experienced during
the late liccnso investigation ,
VALENTINE AND "DISTRICT

Under the head of "District Rep

congregational convention ami ticket
at large. N\"u do not concern ourselves -

alleged to be contained in the following -

Mr. Valentine adds that he is un
able to perceive any just motive
which THE BEN could have had for
making this statement. TUB DKK'U
motive is readily explainable in the
light of B remark which Itosowater
made , when u prominent republican
who had road his lie supposing it to
be the truth , said that Mr. Valentino
should bo informed concerniug pub
lic aontimunt in the state on this
quoatian and induced if possible to
change his views. " 0 , no , " responded
llosowator , "lot him go on with it ; it
is just what 'wo' want it will kill
him deader than a dour nail ! " It ia
not surprising that Kosowator should
have developed this laat lie out of hia
interior coiiHciousnons , and followed it
up with drawing on his imagination
for the "facts. " [ Republican.
This is not thu first time Yalontino
has Bought to retrieve H political blun
der by a brazen denial of notorious
facts. Wo r member how Mr. Val-
online called at TUK BKK oflico throe
yours ago , just previously to his nom
ination to congress to express hie
grave feara to thu editor that ho would
fail to secure the nomination owiii
to the pronounced hostility to him of
the Union Paoifio , when as a mat
ter of fact Valentino's chief support
ers were the managers of that road ,

bravado that ho has introduced nt
bill on thu subject of Nebraska's con
grosxioiiiil apportionment. Thu Con
u gressional Hocord of December 17
1881 , page 20 , contains the followin
entry :
"Apportionment of llopri'sentativus. '
Mr. Valentino introduced u hill ( II
H. 20 , No. 9 < J2) ) , supplemental to an ac
entitled "An act lor the apportion
ment of representatives to congros
amoni { the several states according t

Jt dUtricU. ' Wo have a' right to infi
in this from ( he fuel that Oovorm
Nance , who is known to bo intimate
with Mr. Valentino's political schemes ,
had , iiji to recently , given out that no
extra session of the legislature would
bo called. If Valentine and his polit
ical co-parceners desired ilissrict
representation , the governor would
have been absolutely ce'rtnin that an
extra ne&sion would bo called to dis
trict the stato.
The truth is Valentino has discov
ered on his rrcent return from Wash
ington that hin scheme to elect three
congressmen at largo had stirred up a
broc/u that was liable to become n
cyclone , and ho has promptly craw
fished.
The story aboul Rosowator'n want
ing Valentino to carry out his scheme
is all bosh. Thoonly foundation for this
is that State Senator Morse of Mer-
rick and Representative-Root of Cass
called at the BKK ollice Tuesday morn
ing to ascertain the editor's views on
congressional apportionment. The
editor informed them that ho had
published nn article in favor of dis
trict representation and against Val-
tine's scheme , that morning. Mr.
Morse was very emphatic ngiinst
electing congressmen at large , and
both he and Mr. Root stated that the
sontitnimt among their constituents
wore decidedly in favor of district
representation.
The editor incidentally , during the
conversation , remarked thnt the ene
mies of Valentine could hardly wish
for anything better than his success
in pulling through his si-homo for rep
resentation al largo because it would
array all of the people in central and
wuntorn Nebraska against him. If
Mr. Valentino nnd his organ t.iku ex
ception to this conversation lut them
make the most of it.
STAR ROUTE SUMMARY.
Thu complaint made against the
Department of Justice that it is has
tening n1owy ! in the prosecution of
the otar route thieves is well grounded.
There has boon no excuse for the delays -
lays which have marked the progiess
of the postal fraud cases and it is sin
cerely to bo hoped that Mr. Urowfitor
and Postmaster General Howe will
unite in pushing the trials on indict
ment to a apuedy cotu-liiHion.
If they fail in doing so it will cer
tainly not bu for lask of evidence
under wk'ch to convict. For a largo
amount of that material the depart
ment is indebted tu the rcsnarchos of
tno press , notably the Now York
Times , whoso latest minunary ot the
operations of the star route rings is
worthy of close study. From this In
teresting contribution to the litera
ture of frauds the following facts have
been condensed which have reference
to only 41D out of a total of 0,000
routes. The Dorsoy ring controlled
KH routes , with an original length cf
0,687 miles , and at an original con
tract of 1143,100.42 per annum. Mr.
Brady reduced the number of miles
to 8,800 , and incroaned the pay to
$022,808.21.
The Price ring controlled thirty-six
routes , with an original length of
2,248 miles , and at a contract of $77-
440 per annum. Mr. Brady reduced
these routes to 1,011 miles , and in
creased the pay to 81 ! 9,920.20.
The Parker ring controlled fif ty-foui
routes , with a mileage of 5,088 , anil
annual pay amounting to 81411,398 ,
Brady reduced thu mileage to 4,600 ,
and increased the pay to ? 377I95,09. !
The Salisbury and Ciilinor ring con <
trolled eighty routes , containing 0 ,
132 mile * , and entitled to $495,001.61
under the original contract , liradj
reduced the number of miles to 8,79fi
and increased the annual pay to $1 ,
109,01:5,08. :
The "Barlow" ring , roprcmontoi
now by his son-in-law , had ten route
with 1,001 inilcH. Brady cut dowi
the service to 1,580 miles , but in
creased the annual pay from $152,921
to $270,764.6J.
Thu Kerens ring had fifteen routes
for which it was to receive an aggregate
gate annual compensation of # 158 ,
8915.10 , but Brady increased the pa ;
to $462)95 , ) 22 per annum.
Another group , embracing eighty
six routes and 4,091 miles , had con
tracted to do the work for $91,1)80. ) M
but Brady cut down the service t
4,738 miles , and increased the pay t
$309,407.61.
These several rings obtained froi
thu government , in all , thu sum i :
S3,357,774.11 for a service ombracin
33,507 miles , when they had con
tracted tu carry thu mails 118,853 mile
for $1,202,305. In addition to thes
regular routes , thuru was a "tempi
rary service , which was let by Brad ,
without compulsion at ring rates , an
at a total cost of $1,121,323.81. '
In concluding thu editoral on th
subject the Times Bays : "No porso

Republican ,
This is good as coming from the pay
loll editor of the Republican , It is a
notorious fact which oven that brass-
collared crank Ihat turns thu monopoly
ely organ will not deny that the opin
ions of thu Republican arc bought
monthly in advance for the small
sum of eighty dollars checkud on
the pay roll of the Union Pacific
company in Omaha. In other words
the opinions of the editor of The Re
publican are wholesaled at thu sur
prisingly small sum of two dollars and
sixty cents n day invariably in ad
vance. As to the value of Rosowalor's
opinions , opinions vary. To the cdi-
tor of The Republican they arn worth
rery littltt except as affording him an
opportunity to earn his Union Pacific
salary by combatting them.
'If the editor of the Ittjntbliran ii
very anxious to know whether they
aru on sale or not ho can find out by
inquiring nt the Union Pacific head
quarters , whoso inmates have tried to
alternately to crush and buy Rosu-
waler with aboul equal success. If
money could have purchased TiiKBr.p.
or its editor it would not have been
permitted for ten years to uphold the
anti-monopoly cause in Omaha and
throughout the stale , and no
ono knows this bolter than
the editor of thu Jt.jiublican ,
whose umiminitioM must bo very low
whun he is compelled to fall back on
thu ntalu slander of that $1,000
check , which ho has repeated so often
that ho , no doubt , 1ms come to be
lieved the lio. We can easily under
stand how independence and a fearless
onlspoken tone in journalism cannot
bo accounted for by the Republican
from any other than its own venal
standpoint.
But the community in which TUB
BKK has struggled and triumphed
through long years of persecution ,
and in which it has never feared to
rai.su its voice against every class ol
abuse and ciitnc , know the n-aaon of
