t
for another $100,000 in paving bonds to
r ' be voted upon thin fall. No one believes
that the paving already done meets the
* present noeda of Omalm or thu
'wLshos of her citizens , and no
one expects that next year
it is to P8 without a further oxtoneion
.of the paved limits In the city. The

condition brings during certain aoasons of

street to remain unpaved another
year would be a piece of costly
folly. Dodge street also do-
mande a pavomemit and time property
owners on Ninth street have already
handed in their petition.
We must continuo paving operations
next year and tuna cemncil will act
wisely in preparing in advance for the
necessary funds. If the bonds are voted
at the coming election , the contracts can
be lot during the winter and work can begin -
gin as 50011 as spring opens. If we delay
submitting thu proposition for bonds until
the April election paving cannot be begun -
gun until time opening of summer. The
delays neceesary to secure potitinne , to
advertise for bidders , and to lot time contracts -
tracts will consume sixty days' time. In

For these reasons Tnn lion favors the
submission of a paving bond proposition
to the voters of Omaha at time fall elec-
tion. The proposition Should be for
$100,000 of 1)011(18. This sum will ho

amount $300,000 worth of pavenents
can be laid in Omalma within the next
twelve months.
JUnr11 ; 811 tai w RECORD.
The Rcpublfcmm calls upon somebody
to publish the judicial record of .lames
\V. Savage , and throatenstoperform deaf
duty itself if its request is not complied
with , The Rclrublfcan cannot do time
judge or his supporters a bettor sorvico.
Time judicial record of Janes W. Savage
is found in two terms of service on the
bench of time most important die ,
trice in Nebraska. During that varied
more eases wore disposed of and
weightier quostion5 examined than in any
two other judicial districts in the state.
Elected first over such an able lawyer as
John M Thuraton , who was then supported -
ported by TRu Bun , and knifed by the
Rcpubllcan outfit , at the expiration of
hie term Judge Savago'S record received
such an endorsement from the bar and at
the Polls that it resulted in his return to
the bench by an ovorwhollning majority
in a district in which every other successful -
ful candidate was opposed to him in
politics. The judicial record of James
Savage was first of all an homiest ono. No
lawyer or client over questioned his ater-
ling integrity his unvarying impartiality
or his judicial fairness. No corporation
hold hint in its grip and rings and rascals
found no favor in his eyes. In time
second place Judge Savage's judicial
record saw that of a cultivated
and refined gontleman. Time disgraceful
travesties on judicial decorum which arc
scef in eomo of our western courts found
no place in its presence Ifo presided
with dignity and lie enforced from others
time respect duo to time court.
No lawyer of standing in Omaha will
deny that tame judicial record of Judge
Savage was that of an able and learned
flail. The position was tlto most difficult
in tine State to fill. Time questions
brought before time Douglas county court
are important and often exceedingly intricate -
tricato Time bar contains time ablest
lawyers in time state. Under these eir-
cufletancea time success which attended
Judge Savage during his incumbency of
time ofieo was a gratifying proof of his
eminent fitness for time position. Time
charge Inado during time last campaign ,
that a number of his decisions were reversed -
versed , is probably trim. Time judge who
is immvurably suatained by the
Suprene court line nut } et been

Proportion of cases on appeal in which

district than it is iii shy imiu1portent mu-

Judge Savage's judicial record may be
condensed into a very short paragraph ;
honesty , impartiality , dignity and ability.
These are exactly time elmarneteristics
which the code oNebraska desire to
find in the successor to Goo. B. Lake.

consideratione of political economy it can
be shown that suh private fortnes as
have been accumulaed in the United
States in time last twenty years by a large
number of persons involve an enormous
waste and loss of human labor. The wealth
of time unduly rich1 is time evidence of a
debt against future production , which ,
if it is not rotarmed to the people by benevolent -
nevolent gifts and bequests , must be paid
to the last farthing. The principal of
this wealth must ho enjoyed by its con-
sumilption by its present favored owners
or it must remain , time people paying a
perpetual interest on it out of time fruits
of their toil. The tax upon the production -
tion of time country , on this account , now
is very reat. It is conceivable tat it
may ecome vastly greater. But that its
form is not favorable it might descend
from generation to generation a greater
incubus than the feudal inheritaucos of
an ago to wlmich we look back to with
amazement and horror.
Mr. Gould thinks there is no such
timing inn this country as monopoly. In
the sense that nobody is inhibited by law
from engaging in any lawful industry ,
and may , by invoking the aid of the
state in the exorcise of tlmo power of eminent -
nent donmain , build a railroad anywhere ,
even alongside his own great lines , the
remark is true ; but in time sense tlmat it
denies that the powers and privileges
granted to corporations and comnbinaions
have mint rendered coupetitiomi in a great
number of instances practically an mor-
a.ly impossible , it is conspiiously not
true. Hero again the roniedy for the
evils which Mr Gould denies have any
existence line not been mmiado plain. The
most that can be said is that the spirit of
unrest under timeni will no be quieted
till results are reached which the common -
mon understanding of mankind can accept -
cept as wiser and nmore just thin have
yet been evolved.
English Poverty and Crime.
Of every 1000 persons in England and
Wales , about twenty-seven receive relief
from poor funds. This makes in these
two divisions of Great Britain an average
of about 725,000 who may be considered
as paupers in a population of less than
27,000,000. This n but a single item
shoeing the troubles and sorrows of time
aufYering poor in a great and wealthy
kingdom. Time average immortality among
infante in England and \Vles during the
period of three months , on which a recent
estimmate is based , was 126 in every 1000
under ono year of age , time aggregate
being nearly 211,000. Timis was largely in
time nmanutaeturing districts , being 141 in
1000 in Lancashire , 140 in Staffordshire ,
147 in Loiceatorahire , 151 iii time East
Ridding of Yorkshire , 108 in Bristol and
147 in Hull aid Huddersfield. That is ,
of every 1000 cliildron born this number
die in these places before they reach the
ago of ammo year. Iu ono locality not
mentioned iii time list time rate reached
100. Without mitering auto an accurate
calculation , we may say that the deaths
of infants under one year of ago many
possibly average from fifty to sixty per
1000 in San Francisco. Our cotmdittona
of life are much easier than in England ,
amid not only here , but throughout all tim
states of the Unioi , clmildren are niuclm
bettor cared for. Plmilantlmropistsostiumato
that at least 50,000 English infants die
annually in their country under circun-
stances that ma be mildly described as
infanticide. Children are born to young
otlmors anxious to at rid of then
Mothers who work in factories cannot
take proper care of their infaits and are
obliged to leave them alouo or with nurses
who are not oxpecteI to return them to
their homes alive. Infanta are a burden
which it some desirable to got rid of as
ox oditiousl though as decently as
possible ; therefore are starvd to
death byy degrees , dosed itim opiates , or
neglected ad altreated with the ohpe
or expectation that death will come as a
relief to diem as well as to the mothers
who bore them. Yet with all this poverty
and crime in her midst England sends
out her miasionaries amid oses as time
Pharisee before time nations of the world
saying constantly , nut only in speech
but b her manner ) "I am etter than
