NO.VE of the bids of the stnndstonu' syndicate specified a concrete foundation for their pavement , or were accompanied by a guarantee for maintenance. That ought to have been suflicient cause for their rejection. TIIIIKK days altiick on asphalt followed by a puff for the U. P. sandstone in the Omaha Republican shows better than any explanation can , the motive of that sheet in denouncing the Dough's street pavement. HAVING paved the way to wealth for its stockholders and managers , by monuy wrung out of Omaha merchants , tie ) Union Pacific now proposes to enrich an inside ring of ita oflicials by paving otir streets with Fort Collins standstono. THE Cleveland Lender congratulates THE BKK on its "now and handsome dress. " Thanks. TUB BKK continues to lead the fashion in dress in the section to which Omaha acts as the depot of supply and the center of commercial importance. AT the close of an important trial a few years ago the prosecuting attompy ; was tAuntcd witii the fact lhat lib had not secured a conviction of the accused.

THE death of Bishop John Williau Colehso last week , ends the lifo of a famous churchman whose book untitlo.i "Tho [ Pon'totoucfy1 3ftBopkf of oshu Critically Examined , " published In 180 Bot'tho'church of .England' in ii r iinronr , Bishop Colonso argued what all well in formed Biblical critics now admit , Urn the books of Moses and Joshua were mero'compilations gathered together by various writers years after the 'events ' recorded had taken place. In consequence of this publication ho wits deposed from the bishopio of Natal , but was subse quently restored through an appeal to the privy councihTho views advanced by Colcnso in 1802 scarcely * excited a ripple of excitement in 1883 , when preached from the loading pulpits of England. "Tumi the rascals out , " is the cry of the Mice-hungry bourbOns. ' This inay prove an excellent campaign shout , and it must bo confessed , can bo backed by ' facts and . of Bonio'disgraceful .figures re publican misdoings. But many voters will ask the question whether it will pay to turn ono act of rascals out only to put another and a worse gang of harpies in. The people remember the Buchanan ad ministration , with its frauds and defalca tions and treasons. That was the lost .bourbon national carnival and it ended with civil war. Since then the record of the democrat ! has been oidy that of active obstruction They resisted the war , they opposed re construction , they fought every move inent towards a sound financial policy when reconstruction was an established fact. Their party leaders liavo formu lated uo now political principle withii the lost twenty years , and the party ha turned ita back successively on eacl ono of the old whenever sucl apostasy promised n gain ii , votes or u step towards power To turn the rascals out is a policy whicl neither political party should leave un tried. But political purification liki : charity should begin at homo. So Ion ; as the democracy represent nothing bu an organized appetite for oilice , tlteii claims upon the suiTniges of the pooph for n controlling interest in th'o govern- inont ought not to bo weighty enough t < gain a successful consideration. If thoj do secure such n hearing it will bo because cause the country is so disgusted with tin 'ills which they now endure that the ; will ily in sheer desperation to thosi tliat they know not of in the fooling thai any change niust bo a change for the bet- 'tfir. , * " * " " * CJll'A HALT. Tlioscoundrolysci6m'o'.oftho ! ) nuiiagors dftlio UnionPacifip to foist an urttried and untested paving material upon tno people of Ofiiaha is on tfyp verge of J > oin { : con summated. By its old vole of two to one , the board of public works on Satur day evening rushed through a resolution recommending Colorado sandstone for all the cross streets'in the business centre of the city and then adjourned. Tlieru was no' ' discimaioji , no examination of the 'merits' of , the various materials offered , no protest against the insufllcicncy of the bids in form or matter. The plans had all been arranged before the meeting , and the prime movur in the job had loft for the west in the perfect assurance that all the details of the scheme would bo car ried out in his absence. It now remains with the city council and mayor to deter mine whether Omaha is to bo forced to accept sandstone as a paving material , before , { ho property owners who mustbcar the greater burden of the expense of paring operations have been consulted or our citizens who will bo taxed for onn- ihird of the contract price have 'been given an opportunity to express their views on the matter. It in because there has been no adequate test of Colorado sandstone on a paving material and no discussion of ite merits , that TUB BKK , on behalf the citizens of Omaha , enters an earnest protesttagainst the mmp game by which this material has been rushed through the approving machine of the board of public works. The methods used by the sandstone syndicate , is in itself milllcient to arouse grave suspicions that Colorado sandstone is not what Omaha want for her business streets. No testimony of experts has been produced to show that it is not open to the same critidism as the lowest grades of sandstone , viz , susceptibility to the action of water and frost , and rapid wear under travel. The specimoni in front of the Union Pacific headquarters and those which were exhibited at the lost state fair wore scaly and seamy. Even the carefully selected piece exhibit ed to the board was in every respect in ferior to Medina sandstone. Where has Colorado sandstone been tried as a paving material ! What city is now using it ? And if no streets subjected to five years wear can bo quoted , whitt engineer will stake his reputation , on it durability and its value as a material for paving the streets ofA , largo , cijy ? These area few of the < | uD tionn vjfhich our property owners and tax paydrs have a right to ask. It in time ( , < > cry'a halt to this game of a scheming syndicate to force Omaha into taking a , pavement of which she knows nothing. ' Right hero let us say , again that if .Colorado sandstone is as good as Medina stone wo want it. Let that fact bo proved to the satisfaction of our citizens and wo care n6t who guts the contract HO long as it'is a fair ono. But until that is done wo call upon the city council and mayor to delay an approval of1 the recommendation of Messrs. Bar ker and Wilson of the 'board pf public works. Tl.oro are several hundred thous- ojid.dolhirstobo invested. Toappropriato that HUIII for n pavement of whoHu value no ono seems to have any definite idea , would bo either the height of ignorant imbecility or the consummation of an infamous job. THAI' MAIT IIOUTK. Second Asst. Postmaster General Elmer has annulled the contract awarded John II. , Miner , the star , rquto swindler , for. carrying the mail ou Uio finite from Ft. Niobrara to Deailwood. i This is great no WR' It was a shame aiu a disgrace that the loose methods of the postolllce department permitted a contract to bet made with a convicted criminal. In mriking his light against this discredi table transaction Senator Van Wyck did h\s \ duty'as a public representative and has received the thanks of the press of the country notwithstanding the howls and contortions of the Washington gang of bloodsuckers , Having his position on the letting of the contract to Miner , wo bolieye that the senator should rest on Inn oars until he has more fully investigated - vestigatod the necessity for the now mail route. As far as wo can learn , ' it is strongly demanded by the settlers in the Elkhoni and Niobrara valleys. The suggestion of our correspondent on Sat urday that the senator should make a personal trip to the north to look into the matter is a good ono , and might be adopted with profit. Within the lost year settlement has advanced with great rapidity in Northern Nebraska , and the establishment of the new line would still further stimulate it. At the , same time a daily mail along the Minno- chnduzn valley would bo a great convenience - venionce to many Nebraskans , who are , working hard to make that section every thing that it promises to bo. These are point * which General Van Wyck would do well to take into consideration. Of course wo have not a word to say against the manly and single-handed fight which the senator has boon making against another star route job , engineered by a voturan star router and backed by a con gressman whoso support of mail route swindlers is a matter of history. General Van Wyck's victory in securing the an nulling of the Minor contract is Valen tino's defeat. But to block needed mail o facilities for northern Nebraska would bo a victory for no ono. If SUJ.OOO a year will help northern Nebraska in double that amount and furnish a quicker and surer route to the Black Hills , the gov- eminent ciw well afford to stand the ex pense. A YKAU from now the republican na tional convention will meet to nominate a party standard bearer for the next cam paign. Partisan journals are already summing up the dangers that threaten n continuance of republican supremacy af ter March 4th , 1885 , and pointing out the shoals that must bo avoided if public opinion mudl bo conciliated and the independent vote attnietud once more to the party fold. Political predictions a year in advance arc almost as uncertain as crop prospects in April. It seems reasonably certain that the two parties will go into the next campaign with their old organization practically unchanged. The chances ara all against a third party of enough mag nitude to affect the result. Prohibition will play a small part in the battlo. What remains of the greenback party is too weak to cry out for a candidate. The fight will bo squarely and fairly be tween the same political parties who have fought the presidential duel for the past nineteen years. Another prediction that may bo safely made is that neither of the two parties has an assured certainty of victory. Against a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction with republican political .methods which will doubtless gain many thousand votes for the domocratcH , there is the. offset of a strong or ganization bulwarked behind a hun dred thousand officeholders. Fire years of a republican congress was marked by many mistakes ; but a con gressional session of ono winter remains with unusual opportunities for blundering on the part of the democracy. No ono can assert that a year from now the pres ent sentiment of dissatisfaction with re publican rule may not bo replaced by a feeling of more intense disgust with democratic imbecility. The party which makes the fewest blunders during the next twelve months will win the most doubtful states. The independent voter will decide the next presidential campaign just as ho settled the campaigns in New York , Pennsylva nia and Ohio last fall. The men who en gineer parly machines will do well to re member the lesson of last fall's election. They cannot play any more tricks with the popular w ill without losing the popu lar vote. ' FAITH WITH THK Al'ACHES. General Crook has taken Upon himself the responsibility of placing two hundred Chiricahua Apache prisoners upon the San Carlos reservation in defiance of the per emptory refusal of Secretary Teller to sanction the transfer of these- Indians to the care of the Indian bureau. ' This bold step may subject the old Indian lighter to severe discipline , but his course is vin dicated by the fact that ho has simply carried out pledges made to the Apaches when they surrendered , which the gov ernment was in honor bound to fullfill. General Crook with his extensive ox- > orionco in dealing with Indians , and nero especially with Apaches , is certain- better qualified to nettle the Indian .roubles in Arizona than Secretary Teller general Crook declares that if Teller's [ idvico is carried out it will drive the yhiricahuas away again into the inoun- ains , and would bo the most fatal mis- nko over made. The Indians would very laturally consider the noii-fultillmont of , ho conditions of the surrender made by jonoral Crook as an act of treachery , Mid could never again bo persuaded t < rust any pledge or promise made by an ) lllcer. General Crook made them the : > remise that they should bo allowed to ro urn unmolested to the San Car- .os reservation , and as these .onus wore accepted in good faith , am General Crook , of a man of honor , was ii duty bound to' make good his pledge. This ho has done at the risk of being censured and court-martialed. The secretary rotary of the interior may resent Genera ! Crook's conduct as an affront , and possi ) ly ho may bo foolish enough to order the 200 Chiricahuas off the San Caarlos reservation. If ho does the whole re sponsibility for the inevitable Apache atrocities would bo upon him. Genera ! rook feels sure that such a policy 01 the part of the Indian bureau wouli ; lrivo the Apaches on the war path from which they would never again return. For himself ho refuses to act the part of a treacherous Indian fighter nor does ho feel justified in being instrumental ii bringing about n war of extermination. It remains to bo seen whether the war ilepartmont will support General Crook in his final effort to carry out the terms of surrender by keeping faith with the Apaches. A WORK Of CKNTUltlKS. The Cologne cathedral is at last com pletcd. Begun six hundred and thir teen years ago in 1270 , when Germany was little more than half civilized , am the Normans still ruled the Saxon serf in England , it has reached the final stage when nothing remains to bo done but to remove the stagings and scaffoldings am derricks , and to put the beautiful terrace in order. There is something wonder fully impressive in this structure , by fa the finest architectural work ii Europe , and the richest spocimei of the Gothic order in the world. Who designed ita graceful lines and drew the first plans upon the tracing l > oard is no now certainly known. It.took over fifty years to finish the choir which was con Bocrutcd in 1322. Work was continue on it till down into the troublesome time of the Reformation , when it was BUS ponded , the great iron crane standing to show that the faith whioh begun woulc surely complete the edifice. And the return turn of order brought the spirit needei for the task. Work was resumed The unrivaled beauty of the phic compelled the admiration of Protest ants , and made the building a object of pride. The Kin of Prunma took hold of the enterprise a a national'monument , nmf in J812 laii the foundation of the transept. Th jiaves , aisles' and transepts were openci 'in 1848. TlitJ' magnificent south porta was finished in 1859 , and north poria soon after , und the central iron spire wa raised in 1800. The towers , a ow completed , rise upward of 00 feet , Over ? 2 , 00,000 have been tent on the uork since 18i. ( ) neb a building is a history In stone. Eighteen generations of artisans have orked upon it. Thousands of men lave chiseled and carved and wrought loir whole lives into it , of whom not no in a hundred had a conception of the nishcd structure. They builded better mil they know. And a1 , last it andn , a thing of marvellous beauty and randcur , rooted in the faith and pious ovotion of the ages , as though it had rown out of the heart * of the people.
