Jf the Port Collins sandstone is a ,
good , substantial , durable paving nia-
torial , and , can bo laid down in Omaha
on n concrete foundation at A rcaaonablo
cost , THE DKH is in favor of the Fort
Collins sandstone. Lot that bo under
stood from the ouUot. Wo have no in
terest , primary ( or otherwise , in any
pavement that i asking for recognition.
\yjintVo do want , and what our citizens
wantt is' to soo.this city profit by the
mistakes of Other cities. All ozpcrionco
hdwA , thal the best pavement is the
cheapest. If Fort Collins pavement is
hotter than asphalt or Sioux Falls jasper ,
wo want to know it. We shall then advocate -
vocato Colorado stone as the best paving
material for Omaha.
But up to the present time no effort
has been made to show the value of the
Colorado sandstone as a paving material.
Wo have soon no statement of its hard
ness nr its capacity to withstand the ac
tion of "water or of itn power of resistance
to tfic atmosphere and froats. Three or
four delected spocimons'of the stone were
brought to Omaha and a piece a foot
square was submitted to thojnspoction of
the board of public works. Upon this
kind of an examination two out of three
of its members voted to pave the busi
ness section of Omaha with Colorado
, sandstone.
The experience of other largo cities
has shown that only ono class of sandstone -
stone is stiitnblo for street paving. That
is the Medina Ohio stono. It is close
grained , compact , with no lines of clove-
age , and showing an absence of layers of
stratification. Moro than 'this it
absorbs water very slightly. For
these reasons Medina sandstone
witlistands wear and air and water almost
as well as granite , and has proved ah
excellent material for pavements. How
is it with the stone which has boon foisted
upon Omaha by the methods of tlio ward
politician in order to increase the traffic
of the Union Pacific and enrich n stone
ring , among its officials. Not ono scin
tilla of evidence has been produced to
show that it will meet the requirements
of the spccifications'.which pall for sand
stone. No testimony of engineers has
been adduced , no arguments from-tho
ofXporionco of other cities has boon ad
vanced. In the absence of all informa
tion , the Board of Public 'Works ' has
taken the first stop towards saddling the
entire business portion of Ojhalia , outside
of its three main strc6ls with i jiavomont
about which notyhfcr'thoy nbr.b'ur citizens
know anything.
It is against this snap action that TIIK
BKK enters its earnest protest. It callt
upon the city council to demand tests
and a trial of the Fort Collins stone be
fore compelling our citizens to itubmit tc
what may provo a costly experiment witli
a useless paving material , if the sixnd-
stone contractors' are not afraid to submit -
, mit their material to inspection let them
lay down a few square yards of the hlockt
nidli by side with the Sioux Falls stone ,
There are men in Omaha who assort thai
it will not stand tho' ltlo\vs of a cominor
raving hammer , vuucli loss the wear ant
tear of heavy travel , and engineers nut
side of the city ofllcials who seriously in
Hist that so far as durability arfd cnpabili
ty nf resistance to air and water it i
unfit even for curbing nnd guttering on
streets Lot the test bo made. W
shalUhen be nhlo to find out whether
now and valuable paving material ha
boun discovered in Fort Collins sandston
or whether a Boss Tweed job is to b
crammed down the throats of , ' tho'tax
payers and property ownorjt'qf Omaha' .

His father was at ono time mayor of tin

Chase & Ball in 1840 , and was admit tote

admitted to partnership in that firn
Ho was elected by the legislature in 18C
to the judgeship of the superior court <
Cincinnati for the residue of tha term I
which that court had boon limited by tl :
constitutional convention. Ho was cil
solicitor in 1855 and in 1857 succeeds
Judge Gholson on the bench of the no
superior court. He declined a seat < :
the supreme bench in 1850 , oilbrod I
Governor Chose , and the same honqr i
1802 , ottered by Governor Tod. Ho wi
ro-olected to the superior .court in 180
but resigned in 18CU to establish the In
linn of which ho is still the head. 1
was an active , prominent member
o the constitutional convention of 187&
and devoted eight months of his valuab
time to that unfruitful service. Althoui
a hard worker in his profession , 1
lias found time to teach law in the In
school , to servo as trustee in the Oinci
nati university , and in other ways to pi
mote the progress of arts and sciences
this city. His identification with t' ' ,
forthcoming Cincinnati museum and tl
West endowment may bo instanced
proof. He was one of the counsel wl
successfully resisted the effort to conn
the reading of the Bible in the pub
schools. Hoadly originally was u den

"Coutant is becoming quite uneasy and
impatient ornr the poatoflico situation. A
bird in the bush is Tory pretty to look at ,
but it it not worth 33,000 a year by a
long wajo , " said a gentleman who has an
intimate acquaintance with the powers
that bo. "It isn't yet known whether
Tom Hall will conclude t < j ramooso the
ranch on July 1st , or whether he will
stand on his flaxen-haired dignity
and insist that all the charges that can bo
brought against him must bo proved in
accordance with the strict Vulcs of snivel
service reform. To bo sure , I under
stand that the department at Washing
ton quite surprised General Manderson
by tolling him that no formal charges
were ncccNsary , and that a more intima
tion of his personal wishes was all that
they aakod to make the change ; but Tom
ii beginning to count on the senator's
elastic npine to retain him at least
few months longer , [ notwithstanding his
promise to Mr. Coutant. "
By the way that reminds me that a
man way up in authority expressed some
anxiety to mo the other day about the
movement * of certain federal officials who
are overhauling affairs in Undo Sam's
stone housp on Fifteenth street. They
are beginning to smell a big rat in the
upper stories of that building and some
of the big boys are liable to get some civil
service reform that sweeps pretty clean.
The federal building has never yet been
investigated and thcro are some pretty
tall stories told by lawyers about the way
things have boon run. Even "Browstcr ,
attorney general , " may fool compelled to
notice irregularities that are said to have
niado the department of justice afco mill
and a machine for oppression.
"I understand that Mr. J. E. Boyd
was caught badly in the late lard deal , "
said a Chicago merchant on Saturday.
"Boyd has boon a heavy dealer in options
and the comer struck him to the tune of
$1227,000 , That was the smallest loss in
the deal. The next heaviest loser was
sinchcd for $300,000 while old Mr.
Geoch got Iwistcd out of 82,500,000. Mr.
Boyd is very philosophical over his loss.
He cleared a cool $400,000 last year from
his various enterpriseshia packing house ,
his lard refinery and a few turns which
ho made on the wheat market. Of this
amount ho put the snug little sum of
$150,000 in his cattle herd in Wyoming
which is worth to-day a good $ -100,000.
No man's credit stands higher at the
banks than Mr. Boyd's because his word
i.i as good as hi1 bond and ho has the
brains nnd backbone to forward his vari
ous schemes. Wait till the end of the
year and then let Mr. Boyd say on which
side of the book the largest amount
stands for his twelve months business.

the architect. "Fifty thousand dollar
would do the job , and the city pays mor
than the interest on that sum every yea

seven or eight excellent rooms , could b

above ground , while with anothc
story there would bo ample room abov
for a council chamber , committee roomi
etc. With both the city and count

ho said W. L. Adams , Jr. , . u ho i
with the writer I -A office
the other evening , it is i , , of the best
arranged hotels in the way of fire escapes
that I have over seen. The stiirways
down the porches on the outside of the
building could clear the entire house iu
three minutes , oven if the halls on the
inside were entirely cut off. The signs in
the corridors with the inscription 'To ho
Fire Escape , ' show every guest just
which way to go in case of alarm. That
is very important. " In this con
nection , I understand that Dick
Kitchen very seriously objects to
the network of telephone wires that are
being put up in the alley in the
rear of the hotel. While the firm have
taken every precaution for the safety of
their guesU , it is hardly fair that the
building should bo so enclosed by wires
that in case of a fire the engines would bo
hampered in throwing streams whore
they were needed. Something ought to
bo done to make the wire nuisance
less inconvenient. Others beside the
Kitchen Bros , have reason to protest
against having their property fenced in
by telegraph , telephone and electric light
wires , and I cannot blame them for their
objections.
" Worked it through fine ; didn't they. "
said the lounger on the Wabash corner
yesterday , referring U ) the U. P sandstone -
stone ring. "I told you three weeks
ago what the scheme was and when you
printed it , the Jlcpublican in a spasm
of virtuous indignation , charged that
Iloscy was sitting on another mare's nest.
Pcto Shelby too , threw up his hands in
holy horror and called upon heaven to
witness the purity of his intentions , and
Horace Newman rolled his eyes and
looked like a double braced hard-shell
Baptist on the half shell , at the bare in
timation that ho know anything about
such a little game. You see
the agony first began when Harnoy
street had handed in its paving
petition. I understand that certain U.
P. officials made a tour among the mer
chants and urged them to reconsider
their action and change the petition to
ono fir U. P. stono. Of course no pres
sure was brought to hear upon them but
it isn't any fun io rub the hair of a gen
eral freight ngont the wrong way ,
especially if you have to use the
road as a shipper. That failing
to work , certain irregularities were
found in the petitions sent
in from the cross streets , and singularly
enough the council decided to throw
them all out , nnd advertise for bids for
all kinds of materials , including , don't
yon see , Colorado sand stone. The U.
P. papers wcro directed to hind their fire
until the final assault was made. There
wcro several consultation ! ) with the offi
cials , nnd Yost's white hat was seen going
up and down Farnam street every day for
aweck , whenPiesto , three days before the
meeting of the board of public works ,
a vicious attack is made on asphalt in a
paper that had before' endorsed it , and on
Saturday a long local puff nf Colorado
sandstone appeared in its columns. Sat
urday evening the Board of Public Works
met , and in spite of Jim Crcighton's
storming and charging , voted the whole
business center of the city to the Shelby
ring. 1 am told that Mr. Wilson squirmed
n good deal in giving his vote , for Wilson
tries to bo an honest and square forward
as he is a hard working man. But to
work in the shops and vote against his
employes is almost too much to ask of
any man. Of course the council have yet
to pass the ordinance ordering the pav
ing , but Shelby , Newman , Stout & Co.
think they have that nil fixed. "
"What n hard time our belligerent dis
trict attorney scums to bo having , " said ( i
young attorney on Friday. Hardly
week passes that there isn't some spat ii :
court , nnd I sea that Judge Novillc
finally salted him with n $25 fine for r
little too violent nnauago in court. Nov
Godwin isn't altogether to blame in thcsi
little troubles. There has been a quio
kind of union against him on the part o :
the young lawyers , and ho has been badgered
gored in nnd out of court more than hi
deserves. Of course there is no oxcusi
for a challenge to a prize fight given ii
court , but the circumstances ought to bi
taken into consideration. Godwin is ;
little Uppish and hot-headed , but mean
well. I would like to see Charley Ogdoi
nnd Godwin put on the gloves in ;

the thing. "

Grant nnd Irto.
Washington ( N. C. ) Star. ,
Wb heard some time ago from a Wil-
mingtonian a story that is so creditable to
Grant that wo w 11 give it. We had
heard it before , but not in a shape calcu
lated to give us confidence in its authen
ticity. But as we last heard it , and be
cause of the circumstantiality attending
itj we may no longer discredit it. After
Lincoln's assassination thcro was a grow
ing sentiment among extreme men in the
north that the southern leaders must bo
nnd the more famous men
Eunishcd
anged. A cabinet meeting was called ,
and it was resolved to hang at Irost Gen.
Leo , and some one or two others it
may be. Grant , at the head of the
army , was sent for , and was told what
was the action of the cabinet. Ho delib
erately unbuckled his sword , and laying
it upon the table , said : "My honor as a
soldier and a man is pledged to Gen Lee ,
and if you take the step proposed I at
once surrender my sword , resign my
commission , and go before the American
people. " This firmness nnd promptness
brought the extomo men to their senses ,
and the matter was dropped. Wo nro
ossuicd that this story is trustworthy ,
nnd it comes through n channel that en
titles it to credence. It is honorable to
Grant , and shows him in a much grander
light than anything he has over done as
president.
The Coming Untile.
Kew York Herald.
Wo believe the star route verdict will
leave n profound nnd lasting impression
on the public mind. It ought to. The
men declared "not guilty" are of .no con-
scquenco ; but the result of this trial will
justly bo held by all thoughtful citizens
as proof that it is high time to make n
change ; that the "party of great moral
ideas is no longer entitled to their con
fidence r.nd cannot bo safely trusted with
the people's money. The verdict is , to
bo sure , but ono of many evidences to
the same effect. The river and harbor
jobs , the Robeson navy jobs , the impu
dent refusal to make adequate reductions
of taxation , the corrupt determination to
compel needless and- surplus taxes out of
the people's pockets , the pension swindle ,
the unblushing alliance with all sorts ol
monopolies all these prove that the re
publican party has outlived not merely
its usefulness , but its moral sense. Bui
it probably needed this result of the stai
route trials to break the back of the
public's patience.
The presidential campaign of 1884 wil
bo n battle between the people and th <
friends of monopoly nnd jobbery.
