PATRONIZE HOMEtWDUATRT
The Omaha foundry and machine
shops has temporarily closed its doors
and suspended work. Mr. Richards ,
the principal owner of these shops ,
says ho bis been compelled to close
his doors because many of our bnlld-
era and capitalists send their orders
for iron castings and steam machinery
abroad , although their orders could
havoboon filled hfero and their patronage -
ago would have enabled the Omaha
shops to compete ih pries with oist-
orn foundries.
Oar leading dualora make the eatno
complaint regarding thu purchase of
dry goods , / millinery , furniture and
other commodities by the Omaha
onobocraoy/who / do not think thcro is
anything jjood enough for them in
Omaha to adorn their persons or
their pirloie , Men who have
made every dollar they aru
worth In Omaha , and who
can only flonrish and groir richer by
the pttrohago of Omaha , send
to Pitttbar , St. Lonlfl , or Indianop
nils for thu castings to ornament their
stores , they go to Grand Rapid * , De
troit , or Jlllwaukoo for the furniture
that adorns their parlors and bad
roomn , they go to Chicago for carpets ,
and their wives import their bonnets ,
cloak ? , and oven under garments from
Now York , And yet Omaha is un >
surpassed by any city of twice her
population in the immense varied and
costly otock of drygooda , furniture ,
oarpots , millinery and wares of every
class.
If the tabluo were turned and some
of our Omaha snobocrats should
find that their patrons are
importing every thing they
wear or consume they would feel
outraged , It ia nafo to nay that
Omaha has for years paid millions
annually in tribute to eastern mer
chants and faotorica which could and
should have boon circulated at homo ,
and if they had been would have
nwollod our population and contrib
uted vastly to our growth and pros
perity. When will thin nhort sighted
and foolish policy sto | 1 When will
our people learn that they cannot

in Omaha aa they o.in in Chicago

What inducements are offered to

trade in foreign hands , and to increase
thu importance of other cities at the

tgemont ia given to our merchants to
carry a full line of goods on their
nholvcs , or to import the latest novel
ties in the fuco of the fact tint our
Indicu prefer purchasing their dress
goods and notions in Chicago
and Now York for the cake
of boasting that their wearing apparel
came from Gousago'a or Ahoarns' . It
is a false pride which values an article
because it comes from olsowhoro.
Our butinots mnn who nutter from
this atato of affairs are often as much
to blamo. Many handsome blocko
liuvo been erected in Omaha during
the past two years , n iw much of
the materials unod iu their construc
tion has been purchased in Omaha ,
In a largo majority of in-
otancos the iron work has gone
to St. Louis or Indianapolis , and the
interior wood work and decorations
have been done by contractors from
Chicago , when Omaha workshops
stood ready and willing to perform
the work just us reasonably and often
moro thoroughly.
This is a subject where local prldo
has a chance to show itself in a prac
tical way. Banquets and resolutions
are an excellent stimulant but liberal
patronage of homo industries goes a
good deal further toward stimulating
the growth of a city.
THEATRE NCI3ANOEB-
Orntha is Buffering a good deal from
the theatrical hog. The theatrical
hog la the person who cares BO little
for the comforts of others that ho per-
iita in appearing at the opera house
with his lady from fifteen minutes teA
A half an hour after the opening of
the performance , thereby preventing
those who are in their seats on time
from hearing what ia going on upon
( he stage. TUB BKE Is iu receipt of
frequout complaints from subscribers
about this nuisance. Ono correspon
dent writes aa follows :
"I was present at several of the per
formances of the Boston Ideals during
their la to engagement and invariably
reached my seat befora the orchestra
began the ovorluro. When the cur
tain rang cp the house was not moro
than three-quarters full. Ushers were
running hither and thither , annoying
those who were trying to catch an idea
of the opura , and the front doors
being open , blasts of oold
air rushed through the theatre ,
filling the audiouco iu the back
part of the house with influenza and
indigestion. It wai precisely half past
eight when the last man and woman
arrived and settled down. And then
the greater part of the first act was
lost. Can't tbo press say something
to put a stop to this nuUancel'
All that the prots can do U to call
attftntlon to the evil , which Is a grow
ing one. The ladies are as much to
blame as their escorts. Many of
them only go to the opera
house to show their clothes and
to excite comment , and they
have an idea that It Is the
proper csper to srcep into a theatre
after an audience has composed itself ,
and thereby croa'.o a sensation , If
they heard a quarter of the unoompli-
metary remarks made about them by
sensible people , the "sensation"
wouldn't ba quite so ogreoablo. The
eastern is becoming n public nuisance.
It is robbary , for it swindles a largo
part of the audience , who have paid
for their seato , out of from fifteen
minutes to & half an hour of solid on-
joymont. On a par with this class of
people nro those who make a rush for
their hats and cloaks baforo the cur-
tiin rings down , and who ore half way
to the door by the time the perform
ance is concluded. If no other way ii
found to abate tbeao nuisances the
publication of a few names may bo
found efficacious.
As MIGHT hayo boon expected , the
recent icquloltion through the United
States court into the alleged fraudo iu
the surveyor-genoral'iJ oflio of No-
bratka has brought to light nothing
moro than what was brought out by
the Investigation in the legislature
last opring. The present system cf
public surveys la almost aa old as the
government itzelf. It began witn the
division of thu northwest territory in
1787 into whit bccamo the atatca of
Indiana , Illinois and Michigan , and
has continued without material
change under democratic , whig and
republican rule. The system has had its
defects , and they have boon corrected
from time to time. That there have
boon flagrant abuses and outrageous
frauds thoru is no doubt , but the pres
ent ourvoyor general of Nebraska ,
Gen Smith , ia not responsible for
them. Oongrois has fixed the rate
which contractors , who hold cornmia-
cions aa deputy surveyors , are to receive -
ceivo for their wotk. The work ia in
spected by competent uurvojora , and
when certified to b/ them , is approv
ed by the survoyor-goncrul. Ills
agency bpglns by letliag the contract
at the rate fixed by congrcaa for the
work to bo done and it ends when ho
given his approval to the contractor
for the work don'o. The surveyor
nural h&ndlon no inonoy except his
own n 1ary tv.id the oxpunais of his
ollioo. Thusu vouchers are forwarded
to the general land tflha and
that office neudn a voucher to
ouo of the uudltora : of the treasury
department and that department
trnnumitn the pay directly to the con
tractor. The latter may divide his
profita with whomsoever ho BOCS fit in
the uamo manner aa a contrastor for
public works may diaburso his income
aa best Buita him.
If the work lian been honestly
dorio the government is not de
frauded. When the rates for public
surveying woru fixed by congreoa ,
some years ago , the contractors were
allowed a liberal margin , owing to
the risk from Indian depredations and
thu incidents and accidents usual in
frontier life. Theao ranrgino bccamo
a sonrco of corruption when the
riskii of looaoD of clock and toama no
longer existed. At its last session
congress reduced the rates for public
surveying , so that contractors w
have no surplus to divide with any
body , and the applications for survey
ing contracts will not bo as numerous
as they have boon. This change iu
the system was brought about by the
efifjrta of Senator Van Wyck , who
was the first man in congress to call
attention tbo glaring frauds perpe
trated under the "deposit" system.
The aim and object of the grand
jury inquisition seems to have been to
verify the charges made by the
Omaha Jlet-aid last spring , that great
frauds had been perpetrated in the
surveyor general's office at Plaits-
mouth , in which it wan confidently
predicted Senator Van Wyok was
moro or less Implicated. It was ex
pected that sufficient proof would bo
found to cause the indictment of Sur
veyor General Smith. The outcome
has vindicated both the senator and
surveyor general.
The building used aa the office of
The Nugget , at Phelps , Neb. , and
which was burned a few weeks ago ,
was also used as a court houso. Im
mediately upon receipt of the news of
the fire- THE OUAIU BBE charged
fraud in the Pholpa county election
and assarted that the republican can
didates had boon fraudulently counted
in , and the oonrt house burned to de
stroy the records of the election. This
seemed like a bold chaigo to make , but
TUB BBE muatained it to bo true and
said it had information from Pholpi
which made it certain , Th < > bottom
is completely knocked out of the mat.
tor , however , by iho fact baiug do *
volopod that the ppll books , ballots
and canvass of the votes were saved
from the fire. Now , if there is any
suiplolon of fraud , the matter can be
investigated. Judging from the out
come of the ohsrgo of burning the
court house to not rid of the election
record ] , wo are inclined to think tint
thu frauds iu Phelps county exist
only in the mind of the imaginative
editor of THE BEE. Seicard litporttr ,
THE BEE received ita information of
the burning down of the Phelps coun
ty court house and the destruction of
the records from what it hadevery |
reason to believe wu reliable authori
ty , The same charge was also made
by a number of papers along the Re
publican valloywhich were lisned be
fore THE BBK , containing the report ,
was printed It was not until A fnll
week afterwards that it was suddenly
discovered that the poll books , ballots
and canvais of votes , which were re
ported as lost , had been miraculously
saved. So far as the existence of the
notorious frauds ic Phjlps county ,
that will bo fully developed when the
next legislature passes upon the con
test from iho senatorial district of
which that county forms a part.
THE Scbujlor > S'un thinks that when
the result of the election in the Third
district is cxamiced that Turner's can
vass wa&n't such a cido splitting farce
after all. Its editor rises to remark :
A great deal of fun was indulged in
at the expanseof the Tnrnor conven
lion because it was comprised of but
seven delegates. The result , however ,
shows that each one of those delegates
repreeonteu one thousand votes , while
those in the other convention repre
sented but cichty-threo votes each.
Following out thli method of mathe
matical calculation and it indlcnten
that three moro delegates would have
elected Mr. Turner. It was icruaika *
