the want of confidence in it , with al !
the aid that WHB given by the govern

where Edward Croighton and the
Koiintzos , of this city , had the oppor

down a comparatively small sum of

did not 'losiro to incur , the hazard ,
and it turned out at last , a Mr. Dil

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.

mayor will take the pains to inquire Ol
into the conduct of those officers ho OlK OlP

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

to enforce good order.
