TUB Republican has begun to quietly stab Mayor Ohaso , and the colonel now understands just how ranch real ( satisfaction there to after ' all lu the kisses of an ouomy. TIIEUE la snrao glory in running for governor in Nebraska , oren for those who never had a ghost of a ohanco for election. The Chicago Timti an nounced Saturday morning the arrival of ox-Governor J. Sterling Morton. BEH Battorworlh Is prominently montlonod as the republican nominee for governor of Ohio. Hang out the rod flag. Ono of Bon's campaign speeches with the old congraaalnnal flavor would bo moro dangerous to re publican proipocls in the Bnokoyo atato than a can of dynamite. HOWOATE'B name in Washington Is never mentioned without a smllo. There is an impression that thoao who know him1 best are best pleased at his eucoess in escaping jastloo. An In vestigation of the Howgito matter by the nest congress might bring out eomo interesting faot . IT is an evidence of the political dearth of the times that Judge .Ores- ham IB being vigorously boomed in some quarters BB a presidential candi date. President Arthur m y have discovered the next president in his now postmaster general , but there IB a great deal of difference between a political shooting star and a presiden tial planet. PERSONS who are afflicted with the thumping mania are greatly excited over the advent of an English boxer by the name of Mitchell , who knocked Philadelphia's pot , Cleary , ont of time the other night at Madison Square Garden , to the great surprise of John Sullivan and other distinguished gen tlemen of the same type of culture. Mitchell Is laid to be a mere boy , bat hLs endurance , agility and powers of ' 'hard hitting are said to make htm a -formidable match for Sullivan , Slado .or any other of the star * who now -adorn or who are ready to adorn the , prlzo ring in America. IT would be just as well if Minister Lowell would mix lees politics with his speeches at English barqnotr. TThoro is no reason why the minister t the court of St. James should go off at half-cock over a glass of champagne drank to the queen's health. Mr. Lowell is paid to aot for this govern ment , not to talk for It. Bach em- phatlo expression ! of his personal opinion on Irish matters as ho recently gave may seriously embarrass him In the discharge of hb official duties. American oitlzans , Innocent of crime or of Intent to commit a criminal act are likely to be arrested any day , and it will bo difficult under any circum stances to secure them a fair and Im partial trial whllo England la laboring under her present panic. But this is exactly what Mr. Lowell , as American minister will be expected to do. He ought not to make this delicate duty any moro difficult. Such speeches at his remarks on the 7th Inat. are unwise and smack of both temper and toady- lam. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TIIE board of public works seem t < ' have Borne difficulty In deciding upoi the proper material for curbing an < guttering , and on Saturday rejootei all bids. There Is a good deal of prea uro being brought to boar npon th board to Induce them to select For Collins sandstone at'a price hlghe than that charged for the stone whlol we have horottf jro used for the aam .purpose lu our city. If there are an ; .good roaions for substituting th Colorado stone they ought to bo mad public. Certainly a difference t thirty .cents a yard calls fc an explanation. Of conrso : the limestone now used hi proved unsatisfactory a change ougt to bo made for a better matorla ' But before substituting Btndstono vi should know to a certainty that tl atone la really an Improvement an worth the difference in pries , An concerted attempt to force throng the product of a particular quart will be sure to arouse suspicion ! Lat the advocates of the Fort Colllt atone present their claims so that tfc property owners who pay for tl . .curbing shall know that tne board ! justified In taxing them at a klghc price than they would pay with mi ierlal that Is juit aa satisfactory. PROPERTY ASSESSMENT. Our assessors are browning around books iu hand and distributing their lists , The outcome will ohow how well or how poorly they are perform ing their duty of assessing the real oatato of thin city. Of conrso If the assessors persist In copying the ceaena- mcnt of the last year BS they have done for a number of yonra back , there will atill bo a remedy In iho board of county commissioners and city council , sitting as a board nf equalization. But a fair aoaossmont In the fust place will ruliovo the baard of a great deal of work which ought not to bo thrown upon thorn , and which they have not the tlino un der the law to satisfactorily dispose of. The fact la that much of the real oatato In Omaha haa boon fur years as- Bossed , not nt its value , but according to the wishes of certain largo property owners. The figures printed by THE BEE have ahown In a startling way the groos Inequality of our oaicasmontt. If the assessors fall to do their duty this year they cannot plead ignorance aa an excuse. 1 hero are three rea sons why a fair nsaoBomont will show an Increase of nearly ono hundred per cent in our taxable valuation. The first is the ahatneful carelessness of pant assessments by which wealthy property owners have escaped taxa tion , whllo the majority of our tax payers have paid npon a fair valua tion ; the second Is the rapid and steady rlso In real oalato In onr city , and the third la the largo increase in values by reason of Improvements. In new buildings , additions , exten sions and ropalra it is safe to eay that over $2.000,020 haa boon laid out In Omaha during the last twelve months , and at leant a third of thin aum ought to show on the nsuesBurs1 books. Wo do not know what Instructions the county commissioners have glvon to the assessors , but they greatly mis take public sentiment if they do not insist that the present assessment ahall be something moro than the farce of previous listings , The property owners who have boon bearing moro than their shato of the burdens of taxation owing to the steady tax shirking of onr largo land owners cannot bo deceived any longer by the cry that an increased assessment means increased taxa tion. They know better. They have discovered that a' fair equaliza tion of assessment will moan an equali zation of taxation , a decrease In the rate of the levy , and a corresponding- log deoroaso In the amount of taxes on the property of all tax-payers who have been assessed on an equitable basis. The increase of taxation will fall upon the men who have shirked their taxes In the past , and that Is where It ought to fall. It la high time that the Interest ! of Omaha should cease suffering from the greed of men who claim all the advantages arising from a city government , and who are uuwllllng to pay their just proportion of the expense Incurred for maintain ing It. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . . _ . , MANUFictuuERSof sowing maohluei are making an effort to ro-ealabllah the old monopoly which was broken by the expiration of the patents on hat very important artlolo of domes o economy. They claim that profit ! BVO been BO reduced that the busi < ess IB not sufficiently remunerative , > nd propose to form a union of the htrty leading manufacturers , who will roduoo but two kinds of maohinei iUd fix the price at one figure , whior ill leave a margin of at least $12 ot iach machine manufactured. Ii estimated that 300,000 sowlnf machines are annually sold In thi Unltod States , and the profit to be di Idod among the companies In the pro ortlon of their business would bi bout $4 600,000 , The estimated cos f manufacture would doubtless affon a fair profit , the $12 additional beln n the form ot extra monopoly profit The scheme haa not yet baon matured but there Is little likelihood that 1 would work , All patents having 01 plred , there la nothing to proven the establishment of now fat torlea , which would sprln Into oxlitenoa by the score the me ment Increased prices gave a coi talnty of good profus. Tbo comblni tlon would in that event have to I enlarged to let In the now people , c the new manufacturers would undo : Boll the old oner. Sawing maohlt manufacturers might as well realg themselves to the fact that the ol daya of 300 per cent profit are a ] parontly over and adjust their bus ness to the changed condttlona < trade. WITHIN n few weeks the Atlantic Pacific route will bo opened to G\ fornla completing n through line fro Albuquerque , N. M. , and the Paol coast. When the mltslng link b twoen Albuquerque and Talma , I dlan Territory , Is supplied , as It w bo within a few years , at the farlhf oit , another Independent line frc the Mississippi to the coast will completed. The recent opening the Denver & Rio Grande to Si Lsko city makes another compel ! line for the trade of Utah a the territories. The Northern Paci is pushing Us way rapidly towar completion , and In September w open to the world seven territories a state * on oar western border. T progress of railroads west of the Mis sissippi since thooponiugof the Union Pacific , half a generation ago , has been marvellous , From the British pos- Boeslona on the north to the Mexican plateaus on the couth , the country ia crosiod by a not-work of iron bands. Where ono transcontinental system anppllcd onr ' .rado and commerce , six are now cither completed or under way and numbers of spoors and food- era are Bonding ont their fingers to open np now sections cf country and attract business to the great systems of which they are the part. There haa boon a Inll In railroading building during the first quarter of the prcaont year , but there la atill a great deal of activity In iho eouthwest whore loo- latid roads are bolng joined into great nyjtoms p.nd branches nnd feeders are ponotratlug into vallcya and opening np hamlota which have bcon hereto fore noglcolod. Both ecst'nnd weal accm to ba well supplied with trunk lluea , It la scarcely probable that for many years to come another transcon tinental ronto will bo projected.

OMAHA'S board of public works con tinues to dlffjr in opinion with itaalf with wholeaomo frrquonoy. Mr Mack Booma to bo a very aucccaafnl bidder for all the atono'paving con- tracts.-IZVrold. Yes. Mr. Mack made ono lucaeas- ful bid to the board of publio works and scoured the contract for paving Tenth street. However ho secured auoh contract after considerable diffi culty and in the face cf an awkward and transparent attempt to defraud him out cf hla legal rights for the benefit of certain parties and corpora tions. When ho did secure the con tract it was with the unanimous con sent of the board , the city c. uacll and the mayor , simply beoauao ho was the lowoit responsible bidder fcr the ma terial designated by the property own- era on the etroot. It ia hot probable , however , ihat Mr. Mack will bo able to tecnro another contract for some time , judging by the conduct of a majority of the board of public worka at ita last session. An influ ence that reaches from the state peni tentiary at Lincoln np to U. P. head quarters has manifestly a good deal moro to do with the decisions of at leant two members than the interest of the property owners. Perhaps Mayor Ohaso and the new council will have a word to aay aa to the approval of contracts for curbing and guttering. ST. LODIH la beginning to see through a millstone with a hole In Ic. The application of a new gas company tor a fanohlie to lay malm in her streets ia aronslng her citizens to the f aot that such a right la a valuable piece of property and otaght not to be granted without a good consideration. The Pott Dispatch warns the council against the criminal folly of giving something for nothing ; , of granting valuable franohlaes without receiving any oontideratlon. It quotes the In stance of the old gaa company's his tory and says : "We should not need another reminder of the criminal folly of Diving away nndor any pretense of public franchise , a munlcipalasset , aaharo in the city's resources , withonl receiving directly and permanent ! ] value for value and dollar for dollar and wo warn the municipal assembly that It will not be safe for them tide do It.

The validity of any and all law passed by a state for the creation of board of railroad commissioners I likely to bo tested In the anprem court of the United States before Ion ; A OMO will aoon bo brought befor that tribunal by the Georgia lUUroa and Banking company , which opei atoa the road from Atlanta to August and other points in Georgia , to reali the right of the Georgia commlsslot era to fix rates of transportation belo the minimum eatabllsho 1 In their a < of incorporation.

On March 30 , 1882 , the Oaorgia Railroad and Banking Company filed a bill at Atlanta , On. , in the Falton county superior courr , prayiug tor au lujnnctlon against the atato railroad commissioners enforcing circulais No. 20 and 21 on that road. A restraining order was granted , and the railroad oontlnuod to charge Its old rates , which were much greater than the oommltaionora * rate. The railroad company by Its attorney , Joseph B. Gumming , had joined with it , In Ita bill , William M. Wadley , the lessee of the Gooiglt , railroad , through his at torney , Gen. A. R. Lawton. Col. Wadley waa also Proaldont of the Can- tral Rtllroad nnd B inking Company of Georgia a road running from Savannah , Ga. , wcatward , parallel to the Georgia Rillroad and Banklcg Company. The Georgia railroad claimed that the commission assumed to prescribe lower rates than the char ter of that company allowed It tc charge. That bill eaya : The atato railroad commission ia anod February 10 , 1882 , circular No. 20 , whion was to take effect April 1 , 1882. Tnla circular reduced the rah c of freight on grain and fhnr very largely on all the railroads in Georgia , On March 5 the commission itsiud circular No 21 to take < ffjct April 1 , 1883 , reducing rates on express freight and extra baggagoby passenger Iralna 1. That said circulars Noa 20 and 21 are not legal and binding ; fur the rates which they proicrlbo are not just and roaaonable rates , but , on the con trary , they are unjust and unreasona ble ia that they compel your orators to transport the articles In said circa lara apeclfled at rates which not only deprive your orators cf fair profits on their business , but require your ora- tora to oarry on their business without remuneration. 2. Under paragraph 1 of section 2 of article 4 of the con stitution of the atate of Georgia , the power and authority * are conferred and the duty is Imposed upon the general assembly to icgu'ate ' freight aud passenger tariffs , and the aot ol October 14,1879 , is unconstitutional and Told as being an attempt to delegate gate legislative powers to Bald railroad commission. 3 Slid set ia unconsti tutional , nail and void because In con flirt with paragraph 9 , article 1 of the constitution of the atate of Georgia , which forbids the impoafag of ex cesslvo fines or the In dieting of unusual punishments 4. The charter of your orators , thi Georgia railroad and banbirg conv piny , ia a contract between the state and yonr said orator. By said con tract year orators have the right t < charge any ratee of freight anil of pas Banger tariff * not exceeding tbosi limited ! in said twelfth section of sale charier. S ild act of the legislature o October 14 , 1879 , and said- circular Noa. 20 and 21 , Issued In pnrauanoo o said aot , forbid year orators nnde heavy penalties from charging th rates allowed by aald contract.

The New York Idea respootlnc ; the rlghla of property are illustrated by the elevated rail roads , which liavo recently boon the subject of BO much dltoasslon. The Gfonornl bollof la that the ntock of those railroads haa boon watered until ono dollar actually invested la now repre sented by four dollara. The charter prohibits the logblaturo from reduc ing fares below a ( on percent paying point , the capital actually paid in being the basin on which the dividends are to bo declared. Out the com panies dolaro that their original capi tal is represented by their present amount of atock nnd bonds , and that ton per cant dividends mnnt bo allowed 0.1 the entire amount. When the log Inhturo passed a law reducing fares there waa a cry about driving capital ont of the fitato. The legislature wan warned not to repeat the folloy cf which GdllforiiU had been ( jailty , In drivlog her rich mc-n abroad.
