A FEW weeks ago Chicago law

general among the sporting fraternity
that justice is played out in the Garden -

NEW YOJIK politics is'in a ferment.
The stalwarts are divided into two
wings ono led by Governor Cor'noll ,
And the other supported by the admin
istration. Both sides are marshalling
their forces to control the next con

the independent element. As an
offset the independent republicans an
nounce thotr intention to support no

COUNCILMAN Fred Bohm made an

both safety and ccoaomy. Under our
present system of laying plank side
walks throughout the city there is
scarcely a year in which the city la
not called upon to pay substantial
Damages for injuries resulting from
defective pavements. The wooden
uidowalks collect and retain filth and
moisture and in the summer season
are a constant source of disagreeable
and unhealthy odors. After two or
three years wear they become uncom
fortable for travel , unsightly to look
at and expensive to maintain. The
cost of keeping a wooden sidewalk in
repair lot five years will lay down a
substantial stone walk , Air , Iohm's )

SENATOR McD'iM , AMD TILE
RAUiUOADS.
Bonater McDill , of Iowa , made &
speech in tin United States senate
some dofi Rgo on the right and duty
of congress to regulate intor-stato
commerce. The senator's speech
which may bo regarded as his greatest
effort since his advent in the national
legislature , is published in full tn the
Chicago Times.
The senator makes a very ingenious
plea on behalf of the shippers and
producers of the west , but proposes a
remedy which will afford them no re
lief. Ho quotes from supreme court
decisions to sustain the right of con
gress to pass laws that will prevent
extortion , discrimination and pooling
by railroads , lie cites a num
ber of cases of flagrant discrim
ination between localities in
Iowa in freight rales and
calls attention to the facts tat the
railroads nro diverting trade from the
water ways and forcing it to seek an
outlet by the longest route to the sea
board. Bo insists that congress must
do something now in response to the
numerous petitions from all sections
of the country praying for relief from
abuses at the hands of the railway
monopolies. But Air. McDill tolls
these people that congress can do no
bettor for them than to create a com
mission of three persons , who are to
hoar their complaints , collect statis
tics about railroad transportation , and
report their findings to the next con
gress. In other words , Mr. McDill
proposes to create a board of com
missioners whoso business it will bo
to draw latgo salaries for collecting
pUtistics and pigeon-holing tbo pee
ple's complaints.
Senator McDill has boon a member
of the Iowa railway commission ,
created several years ago by the legis
lature of that state and which is still
in operation. So far as affording the
people of Iowa any relief from corpor
ate oppression , the Iowa commission
has boon an entire failure. Like the
commissions of a number of other
states , ita members have published
yearly bulky volumes of railway sta
tistics , have hoard and investigated
complaints and drawn their salaries
with great promptness and regularity.
Here their duties ended and the pub
lic haVe boon boncGttcd just about as
much as if they never had existed.
Stnto railroad commissions have
been tried in eleven states in the
union. In only two instances have
they produced any effect in reducing
railway tariffs or preventing corporate
abuses. In Georgia the railway com
mission i * invested with plenary
powers. It adopts the classification
of freights , fixes the tariff
on both freight and passengers ,
hears complaints and adjudges
damages , and in all particu
lars acts as judge and jury be
tween the people and the railroads ,
la Illinois moro modified powers are
g'tVpn to the commissioners , who have
iu'1 several instances lowered tariff
fts , and recently changed the entire
classification on freights within the
state boundaries. These are solitary
instances and transcend the boundaries
laid down by Judge McDill , whoso rail
way commission might justly bocalleda
commission for collecting railway sta
tistics and delaying congressional ac
tion on the question of anti-monopoly.
The objection to a national railway
commission , such as that urged by
Charles Francis Adams and
Senator MoDill , is that it
would accomplish nothing./ Congress
is already in possession 'of sufficient
fads regarding monopoly abuses and
discriminations to act intelligently on
som measure which will afford instant
relief to the suffering producer of the
nation. No statistics which such a
commission could collect would make
the need of relief any moro apparent
and no delay could bring out' In
stronger colors the absolute necessity
of action by congress for the regula
tion of interstate commerce. In iho
second place auch a commission would
kavo no power to act , A bureau for
the collection of statistics , un
less empowered to apply the
knowledge gained from the sta
tistics , would bo absolutely worthless
to the people , The English railway
commission which hears complaints of
abuses and discriminations by the
railroads is vested with all the powers
of a court of equity and is empower
ed to enforce its judgments against
the offending companies. It decides
whether discriminations are unjust or
charges exhorbitant and compels the
abandonment of the ono and the re
duction of the other. It listens to
charges of insufficient facilities and
orders additional trains. In short ,
the English commission by reason of
the ample authority vested in it and
the wide scope in which it which it
operates acts as a constant chock upon
corporate rapacity and affords a
speedy remedy for monopoly abuses.
The plan proposed by Senator MoDill
is emasculated of every feature which
would make it valuable as an answer
to the demands of the pooplo. It is
precisely such a measure as the mo
nopoly lobby , which for years has
been fighting Mr , KooRau's bill , will
not oppose. It grunts an Indefinite
postponement of anti-monopoly legis
lation , and places all official discussion
of the question at the mercy of throe
men , any two of which , secured by
the railroads , will make any subse
quent legislation difficult if not im
possible. Intended as a stop to the
growing anti-monopoly sentiment
throughout the country , it is in real1
ity an ingenious scheme framed tn
protect the monopolies against the
rising tldo of indignation which
threatens them in every quarter of
the country.
Senator McDill cannot escape from
grave suspicions of his sincerity in
urging such a measure. There nro
already ugly rumors afloat of his con
nection with the railroads and their
tools. A few weeks ago when the
subject of a bridge across the Missou
ri at this point was actively discussed
a tolcgrvm from John Chapman , of
Council duffs , was sent to Washing
ton addressed to Senator McDill , It
directed him in case the bill Introduced
ducod contemplated competition with
the Union Pacific railroad bridge , ID
"fight it. "
Mr. Chapman , who was doubtless
acting by authority , probably know
his man or ho would not have for
warded such an order and in the ligh
of Senator MoDill'a late speech , which
was virtually in favor of the monopo
lies , his constituents have the best
reasons for clesoly watching his votes
on every subject which affects at once
their own interests and these of the
corporations.
Of ono thing Senator McDill and
his associates in both branches of congress -
gross may bo sure. No measure for
the regulation of interstate commerce
will bo acceptable to the people of the
United States which does not
offer a speedy and certain rem
edy for the abuses under
which they are now suffering.
Long winded speeches deploring
present evils , aud offering no solution
for the vexatious problem will fail to
moot the demands of their constitu
ents , and oops thrown to appease pub
lic sentiment will certainly not bo ac
cepted in place of measures which
strike at the root of the abuses they
are intended tn remove , and offer a
promise of permanent euro for evils
which are sapping the lifo blood of
the producers of this country. The
fact that Senator McDill's speech was
published in full in the Chicago Times
shows that the railroads are willing to
have it circulated broadcast as the
best plea for regulation that is not in-
landed to regulate.Yo presume
thousands of copies will bo distributed
among Iowa farmers , bat wo doubt
whether they can bo hoodwinked by
such chaff.
MARKET AND CITY HALL.
About two months ago a proposition
was made to the city of Omaha by
Mr. Webster Snyder on behalf of cer
tain capitalists to build a market
house and city hall on Jefferson
square , provided tbo city would Icaso
the square to the parties for fifty
years without rental. The lessees
agreed to erect a building on Jeffer
son square that would cost two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars , and
would servo for the joint purpose of a
market house and city hall , with all
the necessary rooms for various city
officers. The proposition was sub
mitted to the last council , and they ,
without taking action or discussing
the provisions of the proposal , referred -
forrod the question whether Jefferson
square should bo leased for marketing
purposes to a vote of the people at the
city election hold April 4th.
The proposition , as voted upon by
the people at that election , simply
stated "Was Jefferson square to be
leased for a market house and city
hall ? Yes or no ? Th'o people
had no chance or discretion to decide
as to terms or to divide the proposition
so as to vote in favor of a market
house and not in favor of a city hall ,
as they undoubtedly would have done
had each proposition boon , submitted
separately. The result of the election
was that the citizens of the First ,
Second and Third wards voted by
largo majorities against the whole
proposition , and the people of the
Fourth , Fifth and Sixth wards voted
by larger majorities for it. In other
words the southern half and central
portion of the city oppose the
leasing of Jeflorson square and the
northern half of the city favor
the lease. The citizens of the
Fifth and Sixth wards particularly
voted by Inrvo majorities in favor of
the measure , doubtless because a good
deal of work was done by parties in
terested in the property around the
square and in that neighborhood. Wo
take it , however , that the moro fact
that the majority of the votes cost
was in favor of leasing Jefferson
square would by no means'justify the
city council in making any
contract with any person
or corporation that would in a great
measure defeat tha main object for
which a market house is wanted.
From the outset this paper has boon
in favor of the erection of ono or moro
market houses in the city of Omaha.
Wo believe that a public market
would bo of material advantage to all
classes of our citizens , but particu
larly to the workingmen and
people of moderate means who
are now paying extravagant
prices to dealers and middlemen
for products which they ought to buy
directly from the farmer and garden
er , Whether the market house is on
Jefferson square or in a more central
location is not material , What wo
want a market for is to reduce the
price of butteT , eggs , potatoes , Tegeto-
bles end garden truck to the masses
and giro them a chance of selecting
these commodities , where they can
have active competition between pro
ducers and dealers.
Now it is self evident that
nobody will build a market house in
Omaha unless ho can realize a fair
interest on the money invested and
nt the same time have a full return of
the capital expended.
A good market house , such as would
servo all practical purposes , could bo
built for fifty thousand dollars.
Many American cities with twice the
population of Omaha gel along very
well with market houses that cost
half that sum. Now if the party that
builds a $50,000 market house exacts
10 per cent , upon his investment and
has , say fifteen years' lease of the
ground , ho can , by collecting ten
thousand dollars a year rent from the
market stalls , pay the interest on his
money , which iifivo thousand dollars ,
and lay away five thousand dollars
each year to moot the principal. At
thn end of ton years ho will have his
money all back and still draw $10,000
a year during the remaining fire
years , which will give him really
ton per cent on the original invest
ment , with his capital returned at the
end of ton years and a bonus of
$50,000 at the end of the fifteen
years.
On the other hand suppose ho
builds a market house with a city hall
to coat two hundred and fifty thousand
'dollars. Ton per cont. per annum
will bo twenty-five thousand dollars ,
and presumably the party will
deairo a return of the original capital
invested , within his own lifetime , say
within twenty years. That would
make twelve thousand five hundred
dollars per annum to bo added to the
interest , making thirty-seven thou
sand five hundred dollars a year ,
which amount would bo exacted from
the people who patronize the market.
In the light of these figures , which
everybody can comprehend , will the
city council of Omaha enter into any
contract that would bind two genera
tions of our citizens to a market house
tax of from thirty to forty thousand
dollars a year for the privilege
of having a market when the city it
self could put up a building for thirty
thousand dollars that would servo our
wants for the next ton years or when
a fifty thousand dollar market build
ing would answer for the next fifty
years and save say at least twenty-five
thousand dollars a year taxes upon the
patrons of the market. It is prepos
terous to talk about a permanent city
hall on Jefferson square. In the first
place the city offices should be
bo much nearer the business center.
In the next place they must sooner
or Jater bo located in a building as
fire proof oa the Omaha post office 01
the now court house. Without fin
proof offices and vaults the city wil
always bo exposed to great risks ,
Lastly , it would bo impracticable tc
take the police court into the Jeffer
son square market house for the rea
son that prisoners would eithei
have to bo conveyed in carriages
from jail to the city hall and back , 01
else police officers would labor undei
great difficulties in dragging then :
through streets crowded withhuxters
carts , market women , butchers
wagons and farmers' teams. Nc
where in this country where the ex'
porimont has been tried to have a
market house and city hall and city
offices in ono building has the experiment
mont 'proved ' satisfactory. In several
cities wo could name it is regarded
as a common nuisance and has boon
abandoned just as soon as separate
buildings could bo procured.
What the people who voted to lease
Jefferson square want is a commodiouf
market house , and that is all the
council ought to give them.
If the parties will not build it thii
city could afford to vote twenty-five
thousand dollars for a start for Jefferson
son square , and wo will have all the
market house accommodations thai
are needed for many years to come ,

ANTI-MONOPOLY LBAUUK.
Declaration of Principles.
The Anti-Monopoly Louguo
estly calls attention to the relations ol
corporate and public rights as the
most important quustlou before the
American people at chis time ,
Steam , electricity and machinery.
controlling factors in the industrial
aud commercial world , have been
largely monopolized and the public
taxed unduly for their use.
Corporate lifo , practically immortal
in its duration , wioldiug those greal
powers , has assumed an importance
never before known or contemplated ,
and it is not only rapidly concentra <
ting the wealth of the nation in few
bands to the detriment of the masses ,
but to perpetuate this state of things
it has sought political power and cor
rupted our elections and legislation tc
an extent that not only imperils pub <
lie morals but endangers our free in <
stitutions.
That this is true is known of all
men. Official investigations have
demonstrated it ; our everyday life
has proven it. We therefore declare
that orgunizatipn of the people it
necessary to maintain the following
Anti-Monopoly Wo advocate , and
will support and defend , the rights of
the many as against privileges for the
few ,
Corporations , the creation of the
state , shall bo controlled by the state.
Labor and capital allies , not ene
mies ; justice for both ,
In accordance with these general
principles wo affirm that the public
welfare and public safety demand the
"ollowinff specific measures of relief ;
1. Laws compelling transportation
companies to base their charges upon
ho ' 'cost and risk of service , " with a
'air ' profit added , instead of the now
theory advanced by them -"what the
traffic will bear ; " laws to prohibit the
establishment , through construction
companies or other devices , of a ficti
tious coat for works of a public nature ;
prohibiting unjust discriminations
against both citizens and localities ;
railroad commissions , state and na
tional , with adequate powers to see
that tfieso laws are enforced ; a liberal
policy toward our waterways , which ,
during the season of navigation , nro
potent in preventing exorbitant
charges by railroads.
2. More efficient laws against the
crime of bribery und for the protec
tion of the purity of the ballot. A
prohibition of free passes ,
3. A public service founded on
capacity and integrity.
4. Public lands , the common inher
itance of the whole potflo , should bo
reserved for actual settlors.
D. Currency , the measure of values ,
whether metallic or paper , should ba
equal to coin , and bo issued and con
trolled by the Govemmont only.
G The known benefits of the pos
tal systems of other countries to bo
adopted in the United States ; includ
ing the postal savings bank , and the
postal telegraph and telephone.
7. A f rae press the bulwark of our
free institutions must bo maintained.
Leading journals have been purchased
by monopolists who are endeavoring
to control the thought of the Nation.
The journals which are not thus con
trolled should be sustained by the pee
ple.For
For these objects wq declare that
citizens should , without regard to
party , vote for candidates pledged to
secure the adoption of the above prin
ciples and objects.
That if existing political parties arose
so controlled by monopoly influences
that they will not qivo the relief which
the public interest demands , then it
will become the duty of all good citi
zens to form a now party which will
give the desired relief.
That the anti-monopolists recognize
the rights of capital as well as of
labor ; wo appreciate the boncfita
which corporate organization has con
ferred upon the human race ; wo will
labor us steadfastly to maintain the
richta of corporations as to enforce
observance of their duties , but the
time has como when the people must
organize to restrain the power for evil
wielded by a few unscrupulous men ,
who have obtained control of the
great forces of the century and who
in their use "recognize no principle of
action but personal or corporate
aggrandizement. "
METHODS OF PROCEEDING.
To organize State , county and dis
trict leagues.
To influence , so far as possible , the
nomination by existing political par-
tics of candidates who will support our
principles. Where such candidates
are nominated , the League will notify
its members of this fact and in such
cases leave each member free to con
sult his individual or party prefer
ences ; but where ono candidate will
and another will not suoport our prin
ciples , then all party affiliations to bo
laid aside by members of the league ,
and a solid vote cast for the candidate
endorsed by iho league. If neither
party presents a candidate favoring
our principles , then the league will
nominatn and support a candidate.
Millions Given Away.

STRANGE METAMORPHOSES.
Jf
A Woman Who Turned Into a Mac
After Marrlaffo.
Dubuqae Times.
Most ot our readers have heard oi
the Burnham Novelty company , which
has been playing about in the smaller
towns of Iowa during the post winter.
The company has , however , gained
confidence and is playing at St. Paul
this week. It is said to bo on its way
to Dubuque. From what wo have
hoard about its merits , we are led to
hope that Dubuque may bo spared.
But there is an extremely interesting
history connected with the manager of
this company , and wo give it to our
readers with the solemn assurance that
it is well authenticated. Mr.
and Mrs. Burnham are resi
dents of Waterloo , this State , where
they have resided for some time. Ono
of the principal parties in the strange
cffair about to bo relieved is Major
Powell , who was , says The St. Paul
Pioneer-Press , editor of The Minne
apolis Tribune in 1873. Prior to this
time Powell had led the lifo of a Bo
hemian , and in his travels wont to
Broadhead , Wis. , where ho met a
charming young lady , possessed of
talent as a musician. Maj , Powell
was then lecturing , and made a favor
able impression both npon the young
lady and her parents and the friend
ship for the girl ripened into love and
marriage. The young lady was then
about nineteen years old and had al
ways been roared delicately by a fam
ily of the highest respectability , The
father was a physician and drug
gist. _ Soon after her marriage
to Major Powell a change began to
take place ; her complexion became
swarthy and a beard began to grow ,
which demanded and received the as
siduous attention of a razor. Other
physical changes went on , and after
the couple had been reasonably hap
pily married for a period of nearly
three years despite the major's dissolute -
lute habits , it became impossible to
deny thn fact that the girl was moro
man than woman , _ A visit was made
to Chicago , an eminent physician was
consulted , who confirmed the suspi
cion , a surgical operation was per
formed , and Major Powell and wife
separated , there being no matrimonial
provision to bind two males together ,
The disclosure was extremely mor
tifying to the parents of the ox-wife ,
and they shortly afterward removed
to another place. The motamorphozed
individual availed himself _ of his pre
rogative and put away crinoline and
donned male habiliments , and com
menced work at a drug store in Chicago
cage under the name of E. W. Burn-
ham , a change in the given name only
beini ; made to suit the clmnpo id sex ,
During the period young Burnham
had lived as a woman the acquaintance
had been formed of another young
woman also of musical predilections.
The two "girls" were chums , oven
room mates together , without suspi
cion of another condition being pres
ent. The regard then formed
ripened into love , and after a period
had elapsed the two were married and
have since lived happily together ,
making their homo at Waterloo.
The husband and wife are none other
than E. W. Burnham , the head , of the
Burlington Novelty company , and
Mrs. Fortio Evcrotto Burnham , one
of the members of the party. There
IB nothing in Mr. Burnham's appear
ance to indicate the strange history ,
and ho is now thoroughly masculine
in appearance , capable of raising a
heavy beard , though to moot the re
quirements of his business ho is clean'
ly shaven. The facts are well nu
thonticatod. Mr. Burnham is the
nephew of a prominent citizen of
Minneapolis , in whoso family ho
lived as a charming young girl for a
codridorablo time , and is the subject
of ono of these curious frsaks in na
ture , which are rare , but undoubted
ly occur.

Mr. Noah Hates , Khnlra , N. Y. , writes :
"About fonr years ago I had au.attack of
bilious fever , and never fully recovered.
My digestive organs were weakened , &nd
I would be completely prostrated for davs.
After using two bottles of your Burdock
Blood Bitters the Improvement was so vis
ible tint I was astonished. I can now ,
though 01 years of age , do a fair and rea.
sonable day's \ ork. " Prica S JJ
At Dubuque the other day a lady
came near being drowned on one of
the principal streets. While her and
her brother were groping through the
darkness and water , which was flow-
p'g down the street , she stepped into
a gutter where the water was several
foot deep , and undoubtedly would
have been carried under the culvert
had not her brother rescued her by
prompt action ,
