SEORKTAEY FKEUNOIIUYSEN'S lurgld diplomatic initrnctiona ought to bo aont by cable. They are heavy onoagh to sink any nhip chartered to carry thorn acrota the water. THE present confeeslona of the ' editor of the Herald are interesting ' reading. The doctor appears to bo troubled with softening of the brain combined with hardening of the heart. FOUR thousand people attended the funeral of a prize fighter in Now York Sunday ; bat if it had boon a man whoso life was spent in dcoda of char ity and benevolence , there would not have been a corporal's guard in the procession. Moral : Cultivate the noble art of oolf-dofeneo for a living if you want a grand funeral. A Now York correspondent says that school mirms never marry. Secretary Oonnoyor taken exception to this rcmirk and complains that Omaha schoolnurms are dead on the marry , and that the beat are con stantly resigning their posts to give employment to the parsons. Last year the board of education lost five teach ers through the matrimonial mania , wbiah ban not yet spent its oourao in Omaha's public sohoolr. THE new telegraph regulation law require ! all telegraph companies and prose associations to deliver dispatches to all newspapers alike. The next legislature will bo called upon to re- qnlro wholesale merchants to deliver goods to all retailers alike and requite retailers In turn to deliver to all customers al'ko. ' The matter of ownership of property will occupy no plaoo In the legislation of the fa- tnro. Whatever a man wants ho must havo. It ho ia not able to pay for it , that makes no dbronco. ( It must be legislated to him. If ho is to Uzy to work , and thus earn money , ho must not bo allowed to go without anything anjbody else has , if ho happens to want it [ Lincoln Journal. Oh , what a stunner. Bach knock down logic la simply irresistible. Now , pray answer this conundrum ? If press dlapatcaoa that aggregate 7COO words each day , can bo delivered at Onuha to two pipers for 8100a month each , why should the third paper pa ; five timea as much for a like service' And hero la another : If the Lincoln Journal , 70 miles beyond Omaha can be nerved with Iho fiamo dlapitchca foi $150 a month why should nearly foui times as much ba exacted for a llkt sorvlca at Omaha.

Do our courts recognlza as property the favors granted by a public carrlei to ono class of patrons to the exoln nlon end detriment of another class o patront ?

If any dead beatlsi ls tolerated in telegraph news , It is a exclusive privilege of newspaper dls rtgn that depend for success upon "monopoly" instead of bulldiug u lire newspapers by enterprise an brains. In , RAISE THE ASSESSMENT. A year ago THE BKK opened the war upon the Iniquitous evasion of taxation by wealthy property ownora In the city Wo published fignroa from thn recorda in the county clerk'a oflico to show that real estalo was aeiceard all the way from one-third to ono twentieth of Its matket value. Wo called upon the aatesaora to make a show of a fair assessment and di rected their attention to particular instances where the moat glaring dls- creplancea existed between property of onqtl value. At considerable cxponeo ox-County Clark John 11. Manchester WAS hired to compare the market value of real oatato In the business coutor of Omaha with the assessment list and the namca of taxpayers whoao property waa undervalued were pub lished without fear or favor. THE BEE then merely scratched the surface cf the grouud. It proposes to go deeper. Ton years ago , when Omaha had a population of lens than 20,000 , her property valnUion waa over § 10OCO,000 , L st year it waa placed by the local assessors at ? ? > 200,000. A comparison of the assess ment books with the records of real catato trantfors shows that at least one-third of the property in thla city IB assessed for purposes of taxation at from one-aovonth to ono-tblrtieth tf Its market value. Largo tracts of land laid out Into city additions where lota are selling at from 8300 to glOCO each escape taxation on an atsossment of from $25 to $30 a lot. In other In stances each property la lumped and aosesscd at from $50 to $100 an acre. When business or residence prop erty attains a market value of $5,000 or upwards it ia for the moat p'art Hated at an average of one-tenth of its actual value , while the omsll cottages of our clerks , la borers and mechanics pay on a v'na ' tlon of 33 per cent. Such a nnthod of assessment ia no lean Buicldal to the city than it is unjust to individual owners of property. Every real estate dealer in Onnha knowa that the present market value of real oatato in thla city is fully forty millions. Since 1870 there has boon an average advance of over 50 per cent in the vnlno of badness property. In all the additions the increase has boon still moro marked , running from GO to.200 par cent above the prices demanded for real oatato four yoara ago. In the lace of the to facts , which are known to every ono who takds the trouble to watch the real eatato transfers , our aaaeaaors who are paid for their sup posed knowledge of property valua tion have kept on copying the aiscaa ment rolla of the previous year for the last five years , with the moat trifling changes. It la high time that a halt should bo called. A radical reform in the pro cess of taking the assessment is not only needed but demanded by our cltlzsns. Omaha la being Injured in the eyes of ouUido capitalists by thla aorry showing of her real estate assess ment. Our tax levy which could bo reduced to two per cent by a fair equalization of taxes , is now quoted at five per cent ; and our bonded debt , which la smaller per capita than that of any city of our alzi in the country , la made to appear out of all proportion with our property valuation. Capital vrhiob. with a fair showing to the real prosperous condition of our city would bo attracted ia repelled , and the statis tics of Omaha'a growth are compared to her disadvantages , with those of a score of smaller and leas wealthy com muultles. But entirely aalda from considera tion affecting the financial standing of thla city the gross injiatico of our law valuation makes Itself felt in clogging the wheels of public improvement and ihooklng thn material growth of Oma ha in all the elements which go to make up a metropolis. Every demand for improvement bonds la met by a growl that the statutory limit of ton per cent on our nisossed valuation baa almost been reached. The demand for paving and sewering for. gut tering and grading awakens a howl about , the heaviness ol our tax levy while the men who are escaping taxation use the bugbear of high taxes to frighten the very citizens who are already bear ing moro than their share of the mu nicipal burdens. The remedy must bo applied and applied at once , The assessment ol property In Omaha ought to bo raised by readjusting property values on an impartial basis , and Hating all prop erty that has heretofore been assostod a4 a nominal valno at the lowest pot- alblo estimate , an equalization of as- aetarnont onthobtsisof one-third the matket value would give Omaha an aggregate valuation of $13 009,000. The tex'xjof the small property owner * would bo materially decreased , but the tax shirkers would bo made tc contribute their full share of the ex. peuse of maintaining this city. Wltb such a valuation Omaha could at once enter upon a system of public im < provomouta that would place her when she onttht to boas the growing motrop oils of the Mlstonrl valley. COLORADO la trying to raise anothoi Leadvllle boom. L'ko ' the old Lead villa , the new camp li In Coloradi and boars the name of Jlmtown , whlol Is supposed to be a corruption o Jamestown , It la said to have Inez- hanatlblo boda of carbonate ore , which la much richer than the Loadvlllo mineral. The now camp ia not well described , but It la said to bo located northwest of Denver , only a short distance , and nearly on the line of railway. The marvellous reports from there , however , are to bo taken with a grain of allowance , or to bo uioro ex plicit , several tons of allowance. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. The amended school law recently enacted by the legislation has enlarged the board of education of thla city irom eix to nine members. Throa members of the present board , Meeara , Points , Long and Connoyor hold over until 1884 , and ulx now members arc to bo elected at largo at the coming city election , THK BEE urges upin our citlzjus to exercise the greatest care in choosing the now members of the board , Ei- tlroly asldo from quoa ijna aifoaticfr the standard of education In our pub Ho ( schools the board of oJuoitioti is chargid with grave financial roeponnl- bllitie-a. Over $100,000 a year is dla buraed by thla body. For the careful and proper expenditure of this sum none but the boat men ought to bo selected. During the present year the board will bo engaged In extend ing our aoh ul facilitioa , Tire now aohool honaoa will bo erected this sum mer and steps will bo taken to secure land west of the high school prelimin ary to the erection of another primary school at an early day. The surplus money already on hand amounts to nearly $50C09. It makea little difference whether the now members of the board are democrats or republicans , but it makes every diflarenco whether they are fitted for the duties which they will bo called upon to fill. With this end in view , two year3 ago THK BEE urged and nomina- supported non-partisan - tiono , and it otill buliovcn that noml- uationo regardless of party would do much to Increase the cfTuloncy of the board. E/ory Interest ot our tax payers and citizens demands that the school board ahall be composed of cool headed , Intelligent and reputable men who take pride in our education al system. Our public schools are steadily improvlug. The standard of studies baa been raised , methods of Instruction improved and the calibre } f the teaohors bettered Bat it ia precisely at ita present stage that the nest care should be taken to maintain ihoeflislonoy already attained. While nucb of the supervision of ) ur schools must devolve upon the inporlntondont , the board of educa tion ia either an aid or a check * o the larrylng out of every reform , As the loldors of the school purse , the hirers } f the teachers , the judges of the lecosalty of increased accommoda tions , they exorcise a powerful In- luonco over the school system. It is it the highest importance that they should bo chosen with great care. Tun army but * a nuuiiy auiuuded das baen published. The most Im portant of the legislative rldera ia that which opona the retired Hat for dis ability by virtually creating a separate list for offisera retired under the com pulsory retirement noof * last cummer. Provision ia made for the reduction of the pay corps by the stipulation that hereafter all vacancies in the grades of lieutenant colonel and major shall not bo filled by original appointment until the corps ia reduced to forty. Thla will chock pomotiona in the pay department for several years to come. A change mndo in the bill by the conference committee throws open the quartermaster and commissary de partments to civilians , by providing that hereafter vacancies occurring In thosfl departments "may , In the dis cretion of thu president , be filled from civil life. " From the wording of the clanso it would appear that any vacancies in any grade oamo under thla proviso , thereby permitting the president to appoint civilians to thu grade of major , lieutenant-colonel , colonel , and oven brlgadior-goueral , over the heads of cflhcrs now serving In lower gradoa , If ho so sots fit. It is hardly possible that this was the In tention of the f ramors of the amend ment. The opening of the staff to civilians is In itself of questionable propriety , Such positions ought to bo reserved for deserving lieutenants and captains of the lino. To jump a score or so of officers who have worked their way up in these departments would ba a gross injustice for which there would not bo the shadow of an uxoaao. A redaction of $0,000 is made in the item for piy of civilian clerks In the subsistence department , which will probably result in decreasing the pay of the higher grade of clerks. Apart from those changes the army bill haa few Items of general interest.

BURROWS' BRIEF. The Senatorial Elootion in Ne braska and its Moaning , Fortyiem a Poor Grade of Pa triotism The Monopoly Position. A few days after the election cf the United States senator , Secretary Bar rows , of the Nebraska Farmers' Al- llanco , communicated his views on the political outlook to a lending nntl- monopoliat in Otoo county , Hla letter - tor h a just boon made public in The Otoa County Ojitic This candid and dnpasalonatu review of the outcome of ho late senatorial atrugglo , will bo ruad with interest by men of all parties. 0. U &tetdm&n , UnaJtl'ft , Neb. My Djar Sir : Your letter of the 12ih In at hind. Yon are right in thinking that I am hoping for some financial hid from your county. The drain upon our treasury has been so great of late that I have bocncompoll- to advauco fan da to the amount cf nbout fifty dollars from my own pocket and yon know my packet IB not very well lined , Bat 1 have no donbt these things will all ooino right in the end , aa they always have here tofore. At any rate It gives mo great ploaaura to receive cheetlng words and to know that my friends are re membering mo in this work. An to the senatorial contest , our only victory consisted in what we pre vented , not what wo achieved. There is no doubt that , if it had not boon for the anti-monopoly sentiment which the alliance has developed , Mr. Millard - lard would have been elected. The U. f. had a q'liot , but very able and determined lobby at work for him , and had ho succeeded ho would have ben the devoted henchman and ser vant of the corporations , The elec tion of Mr. Mandcroon was purely a republican victory , and certainly a very creditable victory for that party. But it waa made poaslblo by the antimonopoly - monopoly sentiment which had bpen developed In that party , which , while it would not consent to the election of an anti-monopolist purely who had definitely loft the ranks oE the repub lican parly would have opposed to thu bitter end the election of an ultra railroad candidate like Mr. Millard Probably Mr , Manderaou was the ablest and moat acceptable in all re- upects of all the republican candidates. I think ho ewes nothing to railroad in fluence , and ho ia certainly entirely free from any indebtedness to the autl-monopoliats. He made them no pledges and received frum them no favors. He owes his election to the fact that there were twelve or fifteen republicans in the legislature who were so atrong anti-monopolists that they could not bo dragooned into voting in caucus fur a railroad candidate , and the party waa obliged to select ita least objectionable man , or submit to defeat. He haa every incentive to do just the right thing He is free from entangling alliances ; he is young , able and ambitions ; and there is no good reason why , if ho makes a clean record and puts himself on the side cf the people on the vital Issues of the day , that he should not be his own successor. Bat , in his speech to the legislature ho particularly emphasized the fact that ha was elcctol "as a re publican , " The staunchness and and purity cf hia republicanism waa his particular pride and boast. And herein lies the danger to the interests of the anti-monopolists. The nomination cf Stanley Math- OWB , a railroad attorney , to a seat on the supreme bsnch , was a republican nomination , and was confirmed by a strict party vote. The great corpora tions operate through the strongest party , and the man'who goes to the United States senate as a strict party man , will be very apt to be their tool when the emergency arrives , no mat ter how pure and patriotic ho may be , o paclally if he considers , aa Mr. Mandereoh seemed to , that the high est patriotism consisted in devotion to the republican party. The supreme court and the United States senate are the koj s to the monopoly - poly position. So 16ng aa the mono polists can entronca themselves there , they can defy the paople. The Dart mouth College decision originally merely the affirmance of the sanctity of a contract , but gradually expanded ia its aiguificanco until it la made the ground work of the chlm that all rights and privilege's ' deduclble from any kind of charter have also the sanctity of a contract , and that once granted by the people they assume the character of vested rights nnd can never be reaumod by them , followed by a contistant line of jndl cial decMonti , come to be the founda tion npuii which a gigantic tyranny over the American people is being bulldod. Relief- from this tyranny can only bo found in a judicial inde- pondonca which will break away from vicious precedents and go back to sound principles of right and justice. But continue in the hands of the monopolists the power to mould the supreme court to their liking , through the United States senate , and relief in this direction will be long delayed.
