Such was the want of confidence in it , with al ! the aid that WHB given by the govern ment , that , right hero in Omaha , where Edward Croighton and the Koiintzos , of this city , had the oppor tunity afforded to them , by laying down a comparatively small sum of money , to own , or at least control , this now wonderful property , they did not 'losiro to incur , the hazard , and it turned out at last , a Mr. Dil lon told a Bonato committee in a hoi and heavy speech pending the passage of the Thurman bill , that but for the Credit Mobilier construction scheme the Pacific railroad would have been an exploded dream for this generation of fault-finders whoio malicious hind sight is so remarkable. [ "Omaha Herald. Edward Croighton and the Kountzos of this city were probably unabto to take control of the Union Pacific as it waa first organized and under the re strictions and limits imposed by its unamondod grants. The original con cession to the company by the United State.1) nmdo a land grant of alternate Boctions on each side of the track within a limit of ton miles , reserving for the government nil mineral and coal lands and making the property of .lie company a first mortgage to BO- euro the loans advanced by the na- ion , Edward Crcighton and the Kountzes could not and did not care to "incur .ho hazard" of going into congress iko the sainted Cakes Ames for the lurposo of changing the tint mort gage , which was given to the United States , to a second end mortgage , increasing the ten mile limit to a twenty milo limit , thereby doubling the land grant , and njecting other equally favorable pro visions , leaving the Credit Mubilior crowd to do as they pleased by a judicious - cious distribution of Credit , Mobilior stock "where it would do the meat good. " Nebraska in 1802 was a territory , and in fact continued so until the road was nearly completed. 'She had but ono delegate in congress , who was voiceless excepting upon matters per a taining strictly to his own territory. On the other hand the Credit Mobilier gang had a royal flush from that good and honest old state of Massachusetts , with proper congressional and editorial tiupport , from democratic cappers Hko Jim Crcighton could have gone into bank ruptcy n dozen times in trying to achieve the same results , oven if they iad boon disposed to enter np n such a wholesale system of bribnry and rob bery. It took unprincipled scoun drels and experienced corruptionista io engineer this unparalleled scheme of plunder , and Edward Crcighton and the Kounlzoa would hauo proved en tirely unequal to the task. But this ia no reason why they should bo alurrod for not wishing to "incur the hazard , " or why the rogues who lobbied their out ( goous steal from the people of the United States should bo hold up as public benefac tors. Lot The Herald coat it's eye ever the startling exhibit presented by TUB BKK in its last issue showing the vast empire which these land rob' bora have annexed to themselves an empire comprising over 300,000 square miles and nearly 200,000,000 acres of land. Doctor Miller can , perhaps , cram hia BUHI ! down the throats of people who are ignoram of the history of oioJit mobiliur and ihu land grant robbers , for witoin he lus bten a con sistent mid pmmtunt tool and chain pion , but thosu who watched the be ginnings nnd Imvo watched the pro- greus of this gigantic steal will refuse to be blinded to the true inwardness of a transaction t/hich has made a half a hundred private fortunes and rob bed the people of the United States out of millions of dollars in landa and subsidies. A MSW gas company has boon or ganized in Chicago which propose * to a furnish gas light to consumers for $1,75 per thouaond foot. There are no/good reasons why the price of gas throughout the country should not have fallen fifty per cout in the last fifteen years. Before that time there waa n great waste of products remain ing after the distillation of the gas ia from the coal , The coal tar waa thrown away or sold at a moro trillo. In Now it forms ono of the moat impor tant Buurcoa of income for the gaa com te panies. Colors and flavoring extracts in inw ure manufactured in largo quantities w from benzole , anthraciuo and naptha- low line , which are themselves obtained loOB from the decomposition of coal tar , est nd are treated with * 1U of copper OBP and other chemicals and acids. The analine dyes are i.ow superseding most previous materials for dyeing , having altogether taken the place of madder , indigo and nameroun organic materials of largo commeicial value. Again , there have been vast improve ment * made in the process of gas making which effect a great saving of the product , and render manufacture very much cheaper than formerly ; atill the gas companies continue to maintain rates by buying out compe tition and exclusive privileges , while it reaps all the benefit * from new in ventions and improved processes of manufacture. Nothing but an earth quake or the electric light seems to bo able to effect the heart and pockets , of the gaa monopoly. Tim board of education is in a dis graceful muddle ever the election of a secretary. The contest over this ofiico may be very interesting to the parties concerned , but does not reflect much credit upon our city. Wo are not disposed to diacuss the merits of the respective claimants , but it strikes us that the board ia in honor and duty bound to settle the matter without washing its dirty linen in the courts. There is too much business to bo traiuactod and too many great inter ests at stake in the conduct of our public schools to waste time in a squabble for personal gain. Quito apart from this it % a matter of fact that the last legislature has crippled the educational interests of Omaha by remodelling the board of education law. The original act creating the board of education was framed by the editor of THE BEE in 1871 and for ten years it stood the test with but slight change. The original act created a board of twelve members , two from each ward , whose terms expired alternately every two years. The last legislature reduced the number of members to six. The object of the change wo cannot com prehend. The board horves without pay and there could bo no economy in reducing the number and there cer tainly ia enough work for a board of twelve men. They have the super vision of the entire system of cchoola. They necessarily must di vide their labors BO as to tasign some members to the practical work of in specting school buildings ; others to investigate the capacity and conduct of teachers ; ethers , again , to look after the finances of the board. Now , with six members , four of whom form a quorum , and three a majority of a quorum , the burden of the whole system is upon thrco members most of the time , and the power vested in these three men is greater in many respects than ia vested in the majority of the city council. Six members may bo ample for cities of the second class and villages , but for city of the size of Omaha the board of education as originally constituted is moro efficient. If'tho law had remained unchanged the squabble ever the secretaryship would hardly have taken placo. ALTHOUOH this is an off year in pol itico there ia already sufficient music in the air all along the line to make the coming campaign quite interest ing. The legislatures to bo chosen in the various states this year will have plenty of political excitement. Twonty-fivo of them will elect United States senators , namely , th BO of Illinois , Colorado , Kan sas , Louisiana , Maine , Massachusetts , Michigan , Minnesota , Nebraska , New Hampshire , Ilhodo Island , Aalbama , Arkansas , Delaware , Georgia , Ken tucky , Misnicsippi , Now Jersey , North Carolina , Oregon , South Carolina , TonnoBBoo , Texas , Virginia and West Virginia. THE indirect effect of low assessments - monts and. undervaluation reaches a good deal beyond the mere question of taxation. In the first place , as no have already shown eomo days ago , low auBcsamont forces a high rate of taxation , and a high rate of taxation compels local capitalists to exact a hijjh rate of interest on the money they loan. When n man ia com- pulled to pay five and a quarter per cent taxis on his mortgage loans ho cannot loan his money for leea than ten per cunt , because oven that high ratj only leaves him four and three-quarters nut for his money. On the other hand , when u non-resident capitalist is asked for a loan on real estate , ono of the first .question * ho oaks is , what is its assessed valuation ? The usual custom iu the east with real oatato loans is to loan to the ex tent of one-third of the assessed valuation. Now suppose , for instance , Mr. Popploton made application for 'loan ' on hia three story block , corner Tenth and' Farnam , which it assessed at $12,000. All ho could borrow ou that property from c eastern capitalists under the common i rulo'would ' bo $4,000 , when , in fact , i the block would be very cheap for 140,000. And Mr. Popploton'a bliwk assessed at about the same ratio that two-thirds of the real property Omaha has boon assessed , Ii It becomes self-evident that this aysd torn of under valuation is very injurious keeping foreign capital out of Omaha which could otherwise bo secured at low rates on real estate security. The want ] of money at a low rate of inter retards the growth of the city by preventing the erection of many buildings that would otherwise be put up , and it also keeps up high rents , because men who borrow at ten per cent , must exact higher rents from their tenants than when money is abundant at G or 7 per cent Quite apart from these drawbacks Omaha suffers serious loss from under valuation and necessary high rate of taxes by frightening away foreign cap ital that would inveat with us. Non residents who do not understand our system of assessments refuse to invest because they consider 6. } per cent enormoui and fear that they will be eaten up by taxes. "TiiE BEE" believes in the mani fest destiny of Omaha to become one of the great cities of this country , but it doe * not believe in a policy thak seeks to build up a great city on wind and gaa. The articles that have ro emily been printed in "The Republi can concerning the alleged marvelous growth of Omaha will do thia city a deal more harm than good. If those articlea written by that wind-bag statistician , ex-Quarter- master General Teat , had been pub lished over his own name we should have taken no no notice of them , but when they appear as editorials in a paper claiming to represent the solid business community , we object. A man can never pull himself up by his boot straps , and you cannot build up a city by downright lying concerning facta which are within the reach of the public. It is announced with a grand flour ish of trumpets that Omaha now has a population ol over 47,000 and "Tho Republican" goes so far as to quote the exact figures for each ward , as follows : POPULATION , iPKIL , 1882. First Ward 8,231 Second Ward 8,428 Third Ward 5,122 Fourth Ward 5 , 12 Fifth Ward 11,829 Sixth Ward 8,186 Total 47,100 Now where did this blatherskite got these figures ? There has been no census taken of Omaha since 1880. It took thirty enumerators a whole month to take the census of Omaha two years ago ; but Mr. Test tells us that he , sitting in the U. P. headquarters - quarters , procured the exact figures within three days. How did ho pro cure them , and what basis had ho for such a brazen falsehood ? Wo know that the census taken in Juno , 1880 , which gave Omaha a population of 30,652 was expanded to the farthest limit. No person having respect for ver- ncity will pretend that Omaha has in creased 17,000 in population in twen ty-two months. It is not only otupid to publish auch a bogus census , but it is injurious in the utmost , because it will compel us to keep on lying from now to everlasting. St. Louis tried that thing in inflating her census of 1870 , and ten years 'later they dis' covered they had t not , grown very much , because the census of 1880 , . which wan honestly token , did not show a material increase over the census of 1870 , which was bogus. To claim 47,000 people now for Omaha would compel us to inflate the returns from year to year and keep inflating and lying until the town would grow ashamed of it. The fact is , Omana is doing as well , and perhaps better , than any other city west of the Missiarippi , not ex cepting Kaunas City. Wo have grown from eight to ten thousand since the last census waa taken , arid may now hayo about 40,000 popula tion. tion.Tho The annual illustrated review of TIIK BEE , which wo seek to make i as accurate in regard to statistics as they can bo got , gives Omaha ( at the close of 1881 38,000 population. We may have gained 2,000 in the last four months , and if wo have , it is certainly a good enough showing , but for God's sake stop lying and inflating when there is no sense in it , and when people will re- tuso to believe you even if some day you should tell the truth. Let ua have no moro of these bogui statistics which go out abroad und make us a set of brazen braggarts. The truth is good enough , and will servo a bet tor purpose than all thia fiatism. You cannot build up a city on wind pud ding , Mr. Tost. TJIK Now York Times thinks that the . day for hoisting the bloody shirt in ! congress is paat. The war has been ever for seventeen yean and red handed rebels like Moaby , Mahono and ! Loiigstreet have become shining lights within the republican party , MAYOU BoYDcoulddo thecltya good service by placing MtrAngell and his deputy on the retired list. If the jJ | mayor will take the pains to inquire Ol into the conduct of those officers ho OlK OlP will find that they have been uegli- K and inefficient in to gent every particu- lar. The discipline in the police force j , is abominable. Our police go about B like atray sheep. They have no or Cl ders. They do not know what their Hl duty is , and when they do their duty sometimes the marshal finds fault with them. As to the deputy , the loss said the better , Aa a guard over prisoners hf'c , needs a good deal more guarding than they do , and there U danger that some night he will be carried away and turn up missing. We are paying $70 a month for the police , and we are entitled to an ac tive , energetic and rigorous sot ol young men , who keep sober at all time * , And who manifest a disposition to enforce good order. THE president has issued a procla matlon against the Arizona cow-boys. That will scatter them like a broad side from a battery of Gatling guns. STATE SCH 3OL NOTES.
