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

machines are annually sold In thi
Unltod States , and the profit to be di

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

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.

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

On March 5 the commission itsiud

and the duty is Imposed upon the
