IF Farnam street is to bo a grand thor
oughforo , the council should thia evening
select appraisers who will bo sura to ao
in the matter of the grade , so that thi
work shall not bo unnecessarily delayed
THE question , whether the Barboi
asphalt company should bo made to deposit
posit ton or twenty per cent of the con
tract price for paving aa a guarantee tha
they will keep the pavement in repair fo
five years , or whether they should bo required
quired to give security by bond is otn
that should bo carefully considered in al
its bearings. If the object of retaining ;
portion r f the contract price is simply I
compel the contractor to do work in sue !
an efficient manner that the streets wil
not need repairing wo ought I
have a ton year guarantee
With such a guarantee and ton per con
y retained until the expiration of the' toi
: \ yoara , the contractor will find it to his interest
torost to use the vary boat material , am
do good work. The moat effective wo ;
to prevent the use of poor material am
the slighting of the work.cnn undoubted
ly bo secured by the appointment of competent
potent and honest inspectors , and a stric
watchfulness on the part of the board o
publio works , The asphalt pavement !
in its very nature a monopoly. If th
property owners petition for asphalt pavement
mont the council has no option in th
matter , but must contract fo
asphalt , lot the price bo what it may
provided it is not too extravagant. Sup
pose the council should impose condition
on the contractor that will keep him ou
of a largo portion of his money for five eton
ton years , what is to prevent him fron
raising the price or maintaining a highe
price than ho would otherwise charge i
the work to bo done was on a largo soak
and on conditions that the amount rotainc
should not bo over ton or fifteen pc
coat. It strikes us that the best precat
tion against fraudulent work is compc
tent and honest inspection and a tor
year guarantee.

The Jicpubllcan makes itself supreme ]
ridiculous by such talk. There wi
nothing in the comments of Tuu BEE c
which B libel suit could bo based. Tl :
fact ifl that the deadlock in the board <

WANTXD-A FW FUNKllALS.
Amidst the intense oxcitmnont of thn
over memorable contest for the presi
dency in Chicago in 1880 , there arose
from ono of the seats a lank , hungry-
looking , cadaverous , long-Inured delegate
from the Lone Star SUto , who , turning
his face to that vast assemblage , exclaimed -
claimed , "What are wo hero for ? " This
simple question electrified the whole con
vention. The tall Texan hnd struck the
chord that made the entire political ma
chine vibrate , and from all sides the
multitude roared , "What are wo here
for ? "
A scone very much similar to that pro-
uccd by tha Tnxaa patriot in the Chi
; ago convention transpired in the house
f representatives on Monday last whoi :
'ongrcaaman Hatch , of Missouri , struct
.ho key-note of the political situatint
when ho declared that the democrat ! )
party needed a few funerals funerals it
Now York , funerals in Indiana , funorali
n Ohio. This was a palpable hit whicl
every rational and intelligent porsoi
can readily interpret for himself it
the light of the remarks whicl
Mr. Hatch made concerning the hour
bens and moasbacks who now woigl
down the democracy.
Mr. Ilatch made himself famous vrhoi
10 bravely proclaimed that the democracy
cy must first bury the barnacles am
corpses that blockitn way to nucccss , before
fore it can over hope to dominate in thi
nation. The mission of the democrat !
party in the lost fifteen years has boot
nalnly to find fault with the ropublicai
party , and to support policies and prin
ciplcs which the republicans had clnim
pionod years before.
A funeral in Now York that wouli
bury Sam Tildon , and lay out some o
the barnacles who are opposed to an ;
aggressive policy that would commit th
democracy to a principle around tvhic !
the people could rally , would undoubted
ly bo of material advantage to tha
party.
A funeral is wanted in Ohio to bur
Standard Oil Payne , who is not only
dnad weight as a pronounced mono polls !
but commits the party to a do-nothin
policy on tanfl reform. A fuuoral i
wanted in Indiana to got rid of Sat
Tildon's fonco-riding partner , Hondrickf
who is always afraid that the domocrac
will commit a grave- error in doing some
liing that might conflict with the con
stitution of our fathers. The trholoiom
truth in this demand for funerals i
strikingly illustrated by Mr. Hatcl
when ho points with scorn to thn cow
ardly course which the democrats pursuoi
in following the footsteps of the republicans
cans oven in the location of the nationn
convention. Thn national committee i
mainly made up of b.irnaclos am
moss-backs , who , as Mr. Hatch saye
have not originality and stamina onoug
to put forth n now idoa. The utter die
gust with which Hatch views his pol'tica
associates could not bo more forcibly poi
trayed than it wai in his scathing re
marks.
Ho wanted to infuse more blood in th
democracy n little independence in it-
little originality in it. Boforn h
would have followed the republican part
to Chicago ho would have gone to La
Angeles. Ho would have gone whor
thn thermometer reached 400 degree
below y.oro or 300 degrees above th
boiling point , rather than have gone t
Chicago. He would have the democrat !
party for once possess indopondonc
enough to strike out on its own hook.
Yes , indeed , a few democratic funorali
are wanted , not only in Now York , It
diana and Ohio , but in every atato of th
union , before that party can ever hope t <
bo in the ascendency. .Tho met
in Hatch's coco an ut is containo
in his arraignment of the democracy
racy for its hypocritical and coward !
betrayal of the producers under that wo
worn plea of vested rights and unconst
tutional legislation. Rising above tli
dead level of a political party that cannt
bo resurrected without a great many ft
norala , Hatch "defied the intelligence <
the house to introduce a measure whic
had for it object the promotion of tli
agricultural interest and which sought i
the slightest degree to interfere with tli
operations of these gigantic and almoi
monarchial corporations which controllo
the transportation of the country , will
out hearing nome democrat attacked by
qualm of conscience jump on it quicia
than a duck on a Juno bug with const
tutional objections. "
It may bo that Hatch ordered his ow
political funeral when "ho heaved tin
brick , " but there is a great deal moi
truth than pootryinovory word he uttoroi

o tha Editor ot The Dee
Being a subscriber of your paper I like
o read your editorials and rather admire
our straightforward and outspoken
lannor of getting at facts , if they are
lits that hurt a little tomotimcs. I am
; lad to aeo occasionally your thought *
, nd suggestions expressed on the temper-
, nco question , which is agitating the
vrholo country nt the present time.
I belong to the Woman's Christian
[ 'cmporanco union , and wish to say wo
ao not blatno the editors nearly as much
is they may imaginn , for not joining in
ho practicable cruaado against the liquor
radio. Wo consider that hardly a day
msses but the Omaha daily papers da
lot glvo a subject for a temperance ser
mon. Why ! s it ? Do you expect a few
women can organize a crusade Against
lieso low dona of vice and iniquity alone'
Most gladly would wo join in any cllbrU

iating liquors ( if they must bo Bold it :
our city ) to the moat respectable places. .
Mr. Editor , should wo call a meeting
for this purpose , inviting all law-abiding
and temperance loving citizens , how
many would join us ? 1 am sorry to ad
mit I don't believe wo would have r
oakor's dozen. Wore women allowet
the balLt they would try to cast thnii
votca for men who would enforce laws tc
protect our homes and loved ones. Mor
that could bo relied upon ; daring
fearless men , who would fullj
realize they luld the law am
power in their trusted ri ht hand , wliosi

the people of our belovo'l city would b <
like n thousand olcctrio flaancs , inspirit ) }
every ono to know that the work wai
being done well ; that the right men wen
in the right places and not waiting unti
elected as now and hearing the cry go U |
for "bettor government. "
Why can not our city marshal's BUR
gostipnn regarding police rules bo the beginning
ginning of reform ( if needed ) if the ;
were found good , and adopted ? Wh ;
can not some respectable and rcaponsibl
men bo appointed to examine the 81,00' '
license each saloon is supposed to have
and see if it has been paid , not weekly
monthly or quarterly , but yearly in ad
vanco. Would this not bo ono way t

place ( I am told ) , could bo closed for sell
ing liquor to minors ? Whore are the cit ;
ollicers you voters trust ? Why can no"
some of the good men who voted for thi
Slocum law see that Hellona Otts * right
are protected ? Would to Heaven then
were more courageous woman and mot
who , though the curse in not theirs
could come boldly to the rescue. If tin
law-abiding citizens and voters of to-da ;
will moot us half way wo will willinglj
join our forces to help organize am

February 20 , 1884.
If the temperance men and womci
expect to accomplish any practical ro
sulta they should not con line thoir.worl
to moro agitation. Lot thorn make u ]
their minds once for all that liquor wil
and must bo sold in every city of eve :
20,000 people , openly if licensed by law
and secretly if prohibited by law. Experience
porionco has shown that the worst ovili
of the liquor traffic can bo suppresses
most olfoctivoly through the restraints o
a high license law. If it bo true tha
only a bakor'n dozen of men and womet
can bo rallied in Omaha to organize i
crusade against the vile dons and disnr
dorly houses whore liquor is sold , th
temperance element must bo in a von
bad way. If only a bakor's dozen omen
mon and women could now be rallioi
for an organized oflbrt to suppress tin
dons that are kept open in violation c
law , how would giving the ballot to women
mon help the matter ? The ballot in tin
hands of the women of Wyoming am
Utah has utterly failed to suppress thi
worst evils of the liquor traffic. If thnsi
courageous and daring tompnranco reformers
formers could not rally moro that
a corporal's guard now , what shot
would they have for carrying an election
There seeing to bo lamonUblo ignoranci
among temperance reformers concornin ]
our present laws. A dozen women couh
do just as oll'octivo work as a whol
army of mon in preventing the issue o
licenses to disorderly dons.
Remonstrance , by petition , and proo
to establish the facts sot forth in th
petition , is all that the law rcqiros. Th
signers may bo all women , and the bean
is compelled to respect their remoiu
trance just as much as if they were mon
Wo cannot , at thia time , go int
details to show what a delusion friends c
real temperance labor under who
they clamor for the ballot fc
women , as the moat oflfoctivo moans t
suppress drunkenness.
No doubt our city marshal can make
beginning of reform by his now polic
rules , but like many doctors ho is no
disposed to take his own medicine.
There is no doubt that the colloctio
of the $1,000 license in ono paymoii
would compel many saloons to close
but it is an exaggeration that to aa
It would close hundreds of little , lo\ \
groggorios. The whole number o
saloons in Omaha is less than ono hur
drod , and the low groggorios can b
counted on your fingora' ends. Thn
ought to bo closed , however , and th
proper way to close them is for citizen
to make complaint. A healthy publi
opinion which springs from the knowlodg
that it is baoVoi by numbers who tneai
business , would soon impress itself o :
our city authorities. Preaching and lecturing
turing may arouse a sentiment , but the ;
amount to nothing unless the sonttmon
is put into practical effect in accordant
with existing lawa. '
Tab question now is , ainco Hatch hn
opened up the subject , whothnr th
democrats would fool moro cotnfortabl
in a place 300 degrees below the freozin
point or in a place 300 degrees above th
boiling point.

to excess. Some of thorn have a battle
or two in their committee rooms. Mr.
Halo entertains his friends occasionally
with vrino-sprcads. Pendloton always
lias some champagne and makes it a point
to hand it around freely -when the demo
cratic caucus meets , ho being chair *
man. Up in the back room of the eon-
ate committee un printing Mr. Anthony
has something in store. You will
often sco him and Mr. Edmunds coming
from there with a pleased expression.
Judge Tliurmn.n vras Mr. Edmunds'
companion of old. When they went out
together the senate blinked sympatheti
cally. Don Cameron invariably took wine
with his nice little lunch , served daintly
in his private room. Fryo and Blair nro
the only teetotalers in the upper hotiso.
But drunkenness is never aeon in these
days. It is now in "Bed form. " Ton
years ago wine-bibbing was very common.
In the senate to-day there is not a man
who can bo termed a hard drinker to the
detriment of his public duties.
John Kelly Talking to Ills Brethcrn.
S'ew York Star.
Frankly speaking , The Star does not
think that the representatives of 00,000
democrats in thia city will go to the next
state convention as supplicants for any
grace or concession. If the party
throughout the state fools able to get
along without them , all right. If other
wise , lot them bo accorded the recogni
tion they deserve , without haggling or
contention. Doubtless this announce
ment will bo greeted as a throat , an at
tempt ; to monaco or intimidate the bulk
of the party. Put any construction you
plcaso upon it , gentlemen , but remem
ber that it is the fact. The time to as
sure harmony ia at the start. Tammany
asks for no recognition that is not fair
and proper ; but Tammany does not pro
pose to bo longer treated as a scapegoat or
\ chattel.
