-timely suggestions to the city council
which ought to bo acted on without need

duty of the council to compel the owners
to remove thorn to a place of safety ,
where life and property will not bo con

IT is now pretty well settled that Gov
ernor Ordvray , of Dakotah , will have to

lant over his prospective retirement.
They do , however , propose to hasten Ins

And otlior papers preferring serious
chargoi against him. These nflidavita
-aro the same that were prepared two or
throe weeks ago , and are generally un
derstood. They contain grave charges in
"the matter of county organizations , which
'have become most notorious throughout
the northwest , if not the whole country.

and doing away with hated customs and

the Europeans in Khartoum and vicinity
.aro unanimous in expressing their opin

are that Gordon will succeed in accom

be as thick as over. The trouble in thii
city is not so much the want of udditiona
policemen as a want of clllcionoy on tin
part of the city officials in regard to do
ing their duty to suppress dives and re
sorts where burglars , thieves , foot pad

The discussion on prohibition in the
Iowa legislature hns brought to light
many instructive fnctn concerning the
liquor traflic , The nim of all true
temperance men must bo to lake the
most effective steps for the suppression
of the evils that arise from intemperance.
It has bcon demonstrated by the exper
ience of Maine , Kaunas nnd Iowa that
prohibition to sell liquor docs not suc
cessfully suppress the trafllo in intoxi
cants , excepting where communities have
bcon educated by moral suasion into
temperate habits. In towns nnd cities
where largo majorities are in the habit
of using liquors an n bcvorngo no law has
yet been framed with sufficient penalties
to prevent the traflic. If the saloons nro
to produce harmful results than the
sale in bar rooms. Men who cloa-
od , the druggists tnko advantigo of
the situation and deal out liquor on
ready made proscriptions from quacks as
well as from regular physicians , and this
illicit trafllo in liquor is much more liable
are addicted to drinking will find the
places , and the largo profit arising from
illicit liquor traflic are alwnya induce
ments for the most cunning devices.
Liquors of the moat poisonous qualities
are disposed of at high prices , and those
who drink them are consequently made
to suflor in body and mind aa well as in
purso.
There are now two radical propositionn
before the Iowa legislature. Onojs to
absolutely prohibit the sale and manu
facture 01 all intoxicating beverages , in
cluding boor , wino and alcoholic liquors.
Such a bill , after a long and heated dis
cussion , has passed the Donate by a vote
ot 35 to 10 , and a great effort will bo
made txi have it passed in the house.
The ether proposition io a high license
bill , introduced ia the house by Mr. Clay
ton , of Pottawattmio county. It is mod
eled after the Nebraska high license law ,
and is mooting with considerable favor
at the hands of the legislators. The first
section of this bill is as follows :
The county board may grant a license
to neil malt , spirituous or vinious liquors
to any citizen , provided such citizen nhnll
first procure a petition signed by a ma
jority of the electors of the township , in
corporated town , oity _ or ward , in which
ho desires to sell. Said petition shall de
scribe the building nnd premises , that the
applicant is a citizen and a voter , of good
moral character and a tit person to bo so
entrustedand ; praying license may bo is
sued , such petition shall bo filed with the
county auditor and upon payment to the
county treasurer of not loss than $1,000 ,
This certainly ought to bo satisfactory
to the prohibitionists. It will bo soon
that the applicant for a liquor license
must secure the signatures of a majority
of the electors in the town , city or ward
in which ho desires to sell. In ether
words the bill provides that the majority
shall rule. It is virtually a local option
bill , nnd can bo mndo prohibitory when
ever the majority so desire it dither by
refusing to sign petitions or by raising
the license -to such a figure that no ono
could afford to pay it , there being no
limit in this respect , the bill providing
only that the license shall not be less
than $1,000 , Wo should not be surpris
ed to see this bill adopted by the
legislature.
1'OSTJUASrjClt I3KNKUAL OllESUAU.
The Omaha Jlcpublican never loses
an opportunity to assail and traduce the
dministration of President Arthur. In
letter published in Wednesday's- -
ublican the editor of that paper , who
now at Washington , goes out of his
ay to belittle the administration by an
ncullod for and unjustifiable- attack on
iio cabinet , which ho- pronounces "tbe
eakcst over possessed by a president of
lie United States , "
According to this eminent espoimd&r

lau , is mediocre * P and Ohandlsuj. whoia
ho brightest , is more of a politician nnd
is position moro of a practical joke
urn a national necessity. " The postmas-
r general is made the target ? of the
olitical bushwhacker in the following
olcctablo style :
"Greaham is an uneasy spirit , , ami haa
ono moro to injure and disorganize the
osjul system than a careful man. iu his
osition could reform in a year. Pbs-
ctsed of no particular ability , , ho has

sis ho works with an energy which
night well bo soared. A fourth-rate muu
n a big ofllco with n double extra opin-
nn of himself , ho is a constant injury to
ho nation , the party and the adminis
tration.

Now , wo would like to ask whomi
has Postmaster-General Qroaham showt
a hick of ability to administer his depart
ment. Has ho overstepped the mark it
waging war on fraudulent loUorisw ? Ha
ho disorganized the service by refuihij
to obey the dictates of the patron sain
of the Omaha llepuWcant Mr. Valentino
lias ho become u traitor to his oountr

Grciham has laid lUnuolf open to th
awful anathema which Valentino' '
nd Vandervooit's mouth-org/inlit has
aunchcd against him. Wo appro-
lend , however , that General Ores-

oction of the country , where the paper
mt makes it is well known as thoclmmp-
on of jobbery nnd plunder , his roputa-
on will not suffer in the least.
UNPAID RAILROAD TAXES.
The Central Pacific owes $1,074,000 of
npnid state nnd county taxes in Cnlifor-
in for the years 1880,1881 nnd 1882 ,
nd the governor proposes to call an extra
owion of the legislature to take some ne
on with n vlovr of making the rnilrond
ottlo. There is no reason why the Ccn-
ral Pacific or any other railroad should
ot bo made to pay its taxes like any
thor property holder. The railroads ,
lowovcr , have become the biggest tax-
ilrkors in the country , the object being
If it is impossible to entirely ovadopay-
nont to allow the unpaid taxes to nccu-
nulato for several years until they aggre
gate a vast amount , nnd then when coin-
) olled to eventually settle , they compro
mise the matter by paying a half or a
uixftcr of the amount duo. This scheme
ms boon worked successfully in various
> arts of the country. There are numerous
ountios in Nebraska where it has boon
OHO. liy delay in payment of taxes the
ailroads not only generally succeed in
ompromiaing the debt at "a big dis-
ount for cash , " but meantime they
BO have the use of the money.
) olay in tax payments on the part of
ailroads is a business speculation with
torn. They take their chances on oven-
ually securing a heavy reduction by
ash payments in largo amounts. There
s , however , going to bo an end to such
rickory , as the people are beginning to
oalizo the fact that the taxes and intor-
st duo from railroads are as valuable to
10 state na they are to the railroads ,
'hero ia no reason why the state should
ot have the benefit of prompt payment
F railroad taxes. The railroads are
axed at remarkably low figures , and
very dollar ought to bo collected not ,
nly in California , but in Nebraska , and
very ether state of the Union , for the
jcnefit of the people , whoso burdens
would thus be materially lightened ,
'ax-shirking on the part of railroads , or
ly ether largn- and wealthy corporations
hose existence * is duo to the public
irough their legislative representatives ,
lould no longer bo tolerated.

n its plans to tap the principal town * on
ho line of the- Union Pacific. The com-
lieaion appointed to appraise property
or the entrance to Grand Island has con-
ludod its Inborn , nnd the company has
epositcd most of the cash to secure the
necessary Bright of way. The opposition
f the Union PaciCc was manifested in nn
ffort to force the company to nn entrance
u the west side of town , about n mile
rom the U. P. depot. This would make
n exchange of business between the com
mutes nn impossibility , besides being an
mncccssary inconvenience to the patrons
f both roads. The commission , how-
vor , declared in favor of the Plum Crook
rossing , and assessed damages at $100.

A few weeks ago THE BKK gaveour -
cncy to a rumor that the Burlington in-
.endftd . to invade Cheyenne. There was
strong foundation for this report' in- the
not that the incorporators of the Choy-
nno , , Black Hills & Montana road ! were
riendlyto the Burlington system- and
would naturally desire an outlet to iho
outluindppondent of the Union' Pacific , .

The short piece of road which the com-
iany will build is to bo part of a railroad
which is to extend from Hudson , in Cplo-
ado. there connecting with the Burling-
on & Missouri road , to Choyonne. The
amo company was incorporated in Colo-
ado about three months ago. with a capi-
al stock of § ,000,000 , for the construc-
of n railroad from Hudson northward
o the Wyoming lino.
"When the road is built and equipped , "
ays The Cheyenne Sun , "which it is
oped willibe within a year , it will bo in
ongth seventy-five miles. Its connection' '
ith the Burlington & Missouri will give
direct and quick line to Denvert over

ho Denver Pacific. Its completion will
Iso insure another outlet east to Omaha
