barbarity of capital punishment ,
Wisconsin some years ago abolished
the death penalty , and since then n
good many atrocious crimes have beer
committed , and in ono case two mon
were murdered and an entire county
defied by a couple of desperadoes. In
this caw the indignation of the com
munity reached such a pitch that one
of the murderers was wrested from
the officers and hanged before ho wae
tried. The local demand for a death
penalty has led to the introduction oi
a measure to restore the old law , or
rather ti provide for a death penalty
in certain cases , when a .jury shall de
cide as to ita application.

The law giving to the women of Mas-

fect in 1879. In that year in Boston
989 women registered and 934 voted ;
in 1880 , 772 women registered and
083 voted ; in 1881 , 748 women regis
tered and 640 voted. In a word , the
women of Boston appreciate thoii
privilege so highly that both the rug-
astration and the percentage of regis
tered women voting have declined
every year since they obtained it.

ST , LOUIS AND MACADAM ,
A local clique in Omaha headed by
on editor and tailed by a atone quarry
ntill agitates the paving of a largo portion
*
tion of our city with * limestone
macadam. The limestone experiment
lias been tried moro rxtonaivoly in St.
Louis than in any other city in the
country , and the result should bo
sufficient warning to Omaha not to
repeat the costly mistake made in
paving Fnraham street with thu ma
terial , A correspondent of the St.
Paul Pioneor-PrcfiB has been investi
gating the pavomentn of St. Louis ,
and declares that in all his journeys
in citicB , largo and nniall , ho line
found no such rivers of filth under the
name of strocts as these which dis
grace that city. Of the 320 miloi ol
streets in St. Louts , 310 are paved
with limestone macadam. In wet
weather they are a sea of mud , in dry
weather the city is enveloped in n
cloud of white grinding dust , which
forces many of thu inhabitants lu
close their houses and move in the
country. Interviews are given with
a nuinbor of prominent citieona * whu
pronounce the system an abomination
which has become intolerable , /n
energetic ring ot quarrymen keep the
stoncsja-rollini ; , run loa.il politics , and
decide upon the extension of the ma
cadam fraud to now portions of the
city. Within a few montha public
opinion has become so aroused that
the board of public improvomonte
have boon compelled to recommend
granite pavements in the heavy busi
ness portions of the city and the ma
cadam is to bo removed to make way
for the only desirable and economical
paving raatoJial
Ono of the arguments of the advo
cates of macadam for Omaha is that
the streets can bo kept in repair will
a comparatively small expenditure ol
money. On this subject The Pioneer
Frees correspondent says :
"But , after all , it is not so mucl
the limestone macadam from whicl
the streets of St. Louis suffer , as fron
the neglect of keeping them up. Thii
results from the excessive cost of thi
work. The streets pulverize into dus
and mud so rapidly , and there is sucl
a vast extent of them , that it ia i
work of Hercules to kcop them barebj
passable , to &ay nothing of proservin ;
thorn in their original excellence
Even a limestone macadam street cat
bo kept in good condition. I
is done in Chicago , an instanci
of which is the ok'gint Prairie avonui
of that city , on which rosidi
many of its great merchant princes
That avenue is constructed of lime
stone macadam , and the proport ;
owners residing upon it keep it in th
finest condition by assessing them
selves 50 cents per front foot annually
which for both sides of the street i
an annual tax or $1 a foot. In SI
Louis the past year , $140,000 ha
boon expended in scattering brokji
tone over 310 miles of macadan
streets about $470 per milo , or no
quite 9 cents per-front foot. This i
n little moro than a fifth of thu sun
paid in Chicago for a like purpose
The result is that iho amount df stem
thus drawn on is utterly lost iu tin
long rivers of mud that are attomptei
to bo filled , and the attempt is vor
very like an effort to fill the Pacifi
ocean by dumping into it the Rock ;
mountain chain. To expend mono ;
enough to do the work adequately
however , would simply swamp tin
treasury , and HO , between their ox
tonstvo system of macadom streets am
their inability to maintain thorn , thi
people of St. Louis are compelled t <
wallow and wade , and the prospect ii
that they will continue to wallow anc
wade for many long years to como.
It would bo a costly folly for Oma
ba to experiment any farther with the
limestone macadam pavement. It hat
failed wherever itlmsbcon attempted
The magnifuont roads of Essex coun
ty , N. J. , which are so of ton mention
cd as macadamized , are constructed
from volcanic rook , and laid at an ox
ponio which rondora thorn little cheaper
or than block pavement. The Tclforc
macadam is impracticable for Omaha ,
Even a granite macadamized street ii
open to the serious objection of boiiif
difficult to roplaoo after repairs , am
expensive to maintain when once laid
The best pavement for our streets
whore the traffic is heavy , will bi
found the least expensive in the end
and cross streets should bo laid witl
iuch pavements as oombino oconom ;
with durability , facility in replacement
mont after disturbance , aud cheapness
in maintenance.
RAILWAY commissions are u farce

And why have railroad commission
proved a farce ? Isn't ' it becauio tin
corporation managers spoke the trutl
when they boasted that it was eaeio
to buy three men than to purohas

road commissions in BOIUO states hav
proved a farca BO far an consulting th
interests of the people is concerned
the fault has lain not with the principle

the administration of the laws b ;

IRELAim.S OPPORTUNITY-
WILL IT BE LOST ?
Under the above titleMr. . Johr
Boyle O'lloilly discusses In the Ameri
can CMolic Quarterly JLtiew the
ircsont condition of political affairn ir
[ roland. TUB BBB has boon a con
ni tent advocate of every reform foi
which theLandLeaguo hasbattlod fron
its inception. It bclieovo that peace
ful Icqal agitation , appealing for re
cognition solely upon justice am
right , would gain for Ireland tin
the moral uuppoit cf public opinioi
in eytry land. The Land Loagui
was founded upon a principle. I

L'ho reputable press of the Unitoc
States , with very few exceptions

.linn two years from the first mootinir
addressed by Michael D-vvitt , i\ land
law was wrung from the English Par
! iament'grmting to the tenant farmer
of Ireland vastly more than' the mos
radic.il land leaguer demanded. Glad
stone was the only man to lead when
any.Englishman dared to follow. HI
carte into power with nn over
whelming majority. Ho frame i
law us ho had promisee
and compelled his party to support it
oven while the Irish mombur
obstructed its passage by every means
and finally forced the House of Lord
to approve a measure that diminishci
the revenue of its members hundred
of thousands of dollars. The law wa
put to practical test by making libern
Irishmen its iritorpretora. Runts wer
reduced from fifteen to forty per cent
wherever the coinmissiones wor
asked to fix a legal rate , and man
estates wont begging in the markc
for a purchaser , so swooping was th
reduction. The leaders c
the Land Lcacr'io at home
forced by the pressure from Amoricti
attempted to obstruct the oporatio
of the law ; they were arrested an
imprisoned , and to-day there is lol
the mere shadow of a mighty organ :
tion , forced into n premature grav
by rovolutiuniatB , outlawed at il
birth-place , the rank and file con ;
polled to meet in secret hiding place :
besot by a horde of hungry Judasei
and abandoned for the time by il
host friends in and o.it of Ireland.
Such in briuf is the history of th
Land Lcagno glorious from birth t
manhood ; its declining lustre dimmu
by impracticable lecdera and unwie
counsels from abroad. Had the lengu
accepted the land act in good fait
and pushed iU operation ovorywheri
sp.curiiig every possible reductio
of rent , thu result would have bee
vastly more beneficial to Ireland ; hi
sides , the organization would have n
mained intact , strengthened by tt
laurels of frenh-won victory and road
to battle vigorously for an Irish pa
liament in Dublin. Gladstone's n
cent speech foreshadows parliamoutai
separation in a modified form , probi
bly county or district govornmen
and his advanced views are liable t
lead to his.dowuLll unless Irish men
hers and Irishmen generally suppo :
and encourage him.
Mr. O'Reilly's article in this cot
ncction is timely. He reviews tl :
various movements for Iria
independence , beginning wit
that of ' 48 the Your
' . 'Irolanderj , " the Repeal , and tt
Fenian movements and the Lan
League up to the imprisonment i
Parnoll and his followers. Ho cl.iin
the Land League has succoodod. " . '

has raised the Irish question into co
mopolitan attention. It has cryata
izod the national sentiment of tli
Irish people aud their descendants i
America , ' Australia , Canada , an
other countries. But nbovo all il
good results , it has nationalized th
Irish farmers , traders , priests , an
well-to-do cl isiea , and they stand no
ready and waiting for the next act i
the national drann.
"It is time for the curtain to ris
again. When the Land League , aide
fearfully by the famine , began ii
agitation , its timeliness and fore
wore acknowledged by all Irish partiei
The Homo Rulers virtually aut
sided , giving the now comet

movement , which only aimed at a de

National idea. But an they watchec
they saw that the now agitation wo

"Mr. Parnell'u object for the orgai :
ization , expressed moro than a yon
ago , was thp expropriation of Iris
landlords , which uuaua the pui
chaeo of the land by the Government
and its re-sale on oiwy terms to th
Irish farmers. Ireland does not wan
this to-day , and would bo most ut
who to accept it. If England durln
the past two years had had statesine
of first-rate quality , she would hiiv
speedily offered thU sottlemant ; an
had the people of Ireland accepte
her offer they would now find then
selves more ) inextricably bound t
Civut Britain than ever the aat e
Union bound mon.
" 'But , ' it will bo said by som
Irisliinun , 'thu Land League means t
abolish rout altogether. ' It moans n <
luch thing. It has ncvor said BO , noi
ms It over BO intended. Such it pro
position is absurd , so far at leant ai
.ho present Irish qnontion in concern
cd. It is a siciftl theory which n <
country has yet accepted. No sensi
bio person expects poor Ireland , strut ?
filing for very hfo , to voluntarily burden

"Tho atn'i of Ireland in doing tin

tradition. The year 18812 is ( ho con
tenninl of the Irisli p.xrliiiiaont ob
taitred by the agitation of Hour ;
Oration. The pro ro ivo iwiu o
the land agitation is a demand for i

Mr. O'llcilly urges that Irclani

was an unequal and unbearable < ; oi
tract , tlicn still there remains tl
ultimate appeal of an oppressed poop

violence. "
Ho says the Irian-American convoi
tion at Chicago committed a gra\ \
blunder in not starting n nation
proposition. "Had that me'etn
spoken lor an Irish government i
Ireland , with Iho Union repealed , nt :
a federal union substituted , Iruhu

have to fight England with arms. Tl

Mr. O'Reilly concludes that tl

present.
"A demand for home rule , by tl
Irish people , supported by their re
rcsentativos in parliament , will ol
tain sympathy in all countries , ar
particularly in America. The Laii
League has demonstrated its nece
sity to the -world. It will give life 1
the magnificent organization whic
now has nothing > to do but rail
money. It will receive instant ar
thorough approval and support 'fro
the Catholic hierarchy and priest
both in Ireland and America , ar
from intelligent and conservative me
who have hitherto avoided all Irit
national movements.
' 'Unless this demand is made , an
soon mutle , the Lind Lenguo organ

and an opportunity such as Irelar

lost. "
Mu. HEWBTT is thu father of a bi
providing for the counting of tl
electoral vote. Ic provides that whc
a binglu objection is made to countii
the vote of any state the joint coi
vention shall take a recess and oac
houao consider the question sepurat
ly , and that no electoral vote objoo
ed to shall bo received , except by th
affirmative vote of both homes ,
is safe to say that Mr. Iluwctt
scheme will not sudcoed. Its objui
is to enable the democratic party ,
it happened vo bo in a majority i
either house of congress , to thro
out enough republican electoral vet
to turn .the scale against a ropublici
president-elect , although the ropub !
caus might be in a largo mnjority

the problem is the plan augmented 1
Senator Hoar that whoa there in b

An Insult to Farmers.
Oh , Lord ! how pretty a politico
pickle was that at Hustings ! Fresh
from their corn buskinus and hog-
killings and steor-feediiigs with a root-
hog-or die determination illuminating
every honest brow and thrilling evorj
fibreot each horn and-ironhand , thosi
noble rusticusaes were beautiful te
look upon while they denounced the
abominable practices of wicked mo
nopolioa !
The above from the Omaha Horalc
is a direct insult to the producers o :
Nebraska. Since when has a man
oven though a farmer , cursed to have
the inalianablo right of expressing :
his chance and casting his vote foi
men whom ho deems most capable o
filling the different offices in our state
Is it not his right ! Are not the farm
era of Nebraska iho bjno and sinew o
our youthful state ? And oven though
fresh from their "corn buskins ant
hog-killinga" and they not more rep

First , that the bridge to be construct
ed under this act to bo recognized at
a post route , and prohibiting the
making of a higher rate of charge foi
the transmission of mails , troops oi
ammunitions of war of the Unitot
'States for transportation in similai
cases provided by law ; second , tha
the piers of said bridge bo built parallel
lol with and the bridge at right anglei
to the current of the river , and tha
the spans bo ten loot above high wa
ter mark , to be measured lo tin
lower part of the superstructure ; tlm
the draw be opened promptly on th (
approach of bouts , pud that sue ]
lights bo maintained by the bridgt
company as the light-house board maj
direct ; third , that such bridge bi
placed under the supervision of the
secretary of war , with power to re
quire thu company to alter it at id
own oxpunso , should it provo an ob
struction to imvitmtion.
