' t Oau early spring is not as green as it is painted. Now comes the tug of war. Pat O'Hawos. THE latest campaign story is that Lo gan is writing a cook to off-set Elaine's literary effort. j IT ia about time for April to got down to genuine spring work if she desires to maintain her well established reputation. ONE of the worst things about the Cin cinnati riot now is the atrocious cuts which the Cincinnati papers are printing to illustrate it. "Auiton DAY , " which originated in Nebraska , has been introduced in several other states , among the number being Kansas and Colorado. April 20th has just been designated by the governor of Colorado as "Arbor Day" in that state. KANSAS CITY is all torn up over the question who is to succeed her Mayor Chase. Omaha can look on with supreme indifference as our Mayor Chase holds over for another year , and refuses to re sign. TUB only lesson of the terrible disaster to the steamier Stoiumann , at Halifax , is that no precautions can make travel abso lutely cafe. No blame seems to have fastened itself on either officers or propri etors of the ill-fated vessel. THAT swent-soontod Bourbon , tGov. . Orittondcn , of Missouri , wants to have his fragrant half-brother , Gov. Murray , of Utah , reappointcd. It ia a nice thing to have your half-brother on the othoi side of the house when you can. : BECK , lias made the mornon- toim discovery that the educational bill in I fIt "a rchomo to give the republicana" con trol of the south. As the object of the bill ia to disseminate gouoral intelligence , there is just a remote germ of truth in It ? ' what the senator says. TUB queen of Tahiti , who some weeks aqo passed through Omaha on her way to Europe , is now on her return trip. She saya she dreads the journey through America on account of the newspaper re porters. Wo call on Mayor Chase to protect her from Omaha's inquisitive re porters when aho reaches this city. THE advocates of an underground rail way in New York continue to push their echomo iu opitoof the opposition of street car and elevated railway companies. As the Now York authorities show no dispo sition to grant them favor they are going lo move on the legislature. The fight against Gould and Field , who own the elevated roads , acorni to bo a hard one. Tun first sounds of the Iowa prohib iting law has boon hoard. Several sa loon Keepers at Dubuque have boon noti fied by their landlords that they must va cate the premises. The Tmloon-koopora are frightened nnd are holding meetings , but have found no way to avoid compli ance. The penalties for renting a build ing in which liquor is sold in Iowa are aboujb as heavy as soiling it. THE movement for Randall is gaining great strength in Pennsylvania. Out ol 07 chairmen of county democratic com mittees , CO ore warmly for him , aud the rest hold him as their second choice , 01 as firtt choice withTildon out of the way. A platform built by Mr. Wattorson , the free trader , supporting Randall , the pro. iootionisU , would be an entrancing spec * clo for a campaign. Dn. MuMFOiii ) , editor of the Kansai City Times , says that ho really has had assurances that Standard Oil Payne wil ! not accept a nomination for the proai dency. The editor of the Times regroti this most bitterly. It is easy to ape however , that the time of a gontlomai employed in robbing the people of fron two to four cents on every gallon of oi they buy must bo quite limited. 0 course ho could not find leisure to attorn to the duties of the presidency as well. OME of the interesting faoU elicitet from the testimony of Mr. George Bits before the Springer committee ia tha the department of justlcoinUmds to proa the trial of the other star route thieves and an attorney from St. Louts has beei engaged to help the government. Th eountry will ba somewhat otartlod t IMJTB that this attorney's name is alt ' BliM. Still , as it is difficult to tee ho another man can have aa great ability i doing nothing and charging heavily f < it H the original Mr. Bliu , there is u v ty great caue for alarm. MACAVAMIZIA'O 110AD3. Before the commissioners of this or any other county expend any money for mac&dam on county roads , they would do vroll to make some inquiries. Merely piling up broken stone on a highway will bo a sheer waste of lima and money. The very first essential in making a road is good drainage. All other things are worth nothing without this. Whore the soil is sandy and loose as it is in western Nebraska , road making is com paratively an easy matter. Buc whore it is compact and clayey , as in the Missouri and Mississippi valleys , macadam alone is utterly worthless , There are roads in Iowa that have boon macadam * iaod half-a-dozen times. At present it would bo impossible to toll that any ototio had over boon placed upon them. The softening of the ill-drained roads when the frost came out of the ground allowed the macadam to sink entirely out of sight under the pressure of the heavy teams Every method of making macadam has been tried on those roads with exactly the same result. On hill-tops and dry places the work has stood the wear and tear. On the bottom lands , where the the water ataod and froze in the ground , the stone Bank into the soft mud. Pro bably on the bluffs and high-lands ol Douglas county , macadam might prove useful. But on the low lands it would bo entirely thrown away. The system which was most successful in some parts of Iowa , and which prom ises the best results everywhere , WAS one of thorough surface and subsoil draining. A space in the road fifteen to eighteen feet wide is first staked off. In thii two parallel ditches are dug to .tho depth ol perhaps six foot , and in the shape of n letter V. Aa each is to serve as the foundation of a road-bod , the center oi each ditch is about one-fourth of the dis tance from the edge of the track first staked off. At the bottom of each it then laid drain tile of a sufficient size to carry off the vrator , probably not lost than three and a half inches. On those largo , loose stones may bo placed and the earth thrown back and smoothed off until - + 4 til the whole surface is level. At propoi intervals along the highway a provision is mads to carry off the water that maj accumulate in the drains into the crooki and water courses. Wo have hero a perfectly-drained road that will keep dry aud firm in almost an ; kind of weather. The walls of natural earth which wore loft when the V-shaped ditnhos wore "dug conduct the water as it trickles downward into the tiles at the bottom. These lead it off into the creeks , and out of the way. There is no watoi in the road to freeze up in the fall and tear the road to pieces when it thaws iti the spring. What little moisture there may bo is collected by the drains aa fasl M it molts and drawn away. On thii macadam may bo laid , if desired , but itii not at all necessary. Another advantage of a road thus laid is that a much smaller apace of land need bo condemned for it than ia at proaenl used. The average country road in Nebraska braska ia not less than sixty feet wide , Over and across this winds a narrow track for ono vohicln. Were roads con structed as we have suggested they need not bo ons-half so wide , and they would have upon them two good , broad tracks , oil any part of which a team could travel with perfect ease. These facts are cor ainly worth the serious attention of the ommissionors. TUB charges made by "a distinguished Itizon of Cincinnati" about the real re- ponsibllity for the bloodshed in the iotn do not differ very much from the pinions expressed last week by Tau IKE. From a calm review of the course f events it seemed almost certain thai tioro had boon terrible mismanagement y the authorities. The statements ol tiis dinguishod citizen only strongthoi : iio belief. It is much to bo regretted bat the charges dj not come in a more txngiblo shape. Nevertheless , then liould still bo a rigid and searching in' cstlgation aa to their truth. If all those ooplo wuro shot and mangled througl 10 incomprehensible stupidity of ono 01 wo men , the entire eountry is scarcolj ess interested in knowing it than in Gin innati. TUB demand , in the present congress , or money to bo spent on public build ngs crowds close upon the demand foi raonor to bo spent on crooks and inlets iotwoon thirty and forty have alrnadj eon favorably reported upon by the houti ommittoo , and still there is a cry foi more , It is observed as a significant facl liat five times as many have been award' ' d to democratic districts as republics ! .istricts have ronoivud. This is olcctior oar , aud a good many democratic con ; rosmon fool that they must make a ro ord among "tho boys" before the con vcntion assembles. Tin ; Chinaman continues to bo badlj rcatcd. The Canadian parliament hoi juried with great enthusiasm a law re stricting his immigration to tiio domin- on , This was dine at the instance ol .ho representatives of British Columbia , A few years ago when they first proposed mch a law they could not got oven i tearing. The example of this country , lowevor , has since produced a groa change in Canadian sentiment. THE New York senate has passed a bil compelling all telegraph , telephone am eloctrlo liqht companies doing business ii New York aud Brooklyn to put the ! wires under ground before November 1885 , It will bo remembered that th city council of Chicago made a siuiila attempt to coerce these companies laa year , but tailed utterly. It is probable however , that the corporations have no quito us much power in Now York n they hiAe in Chicago. For this rcsio there is ground to hope that the experi ment in Now York will bo successful , Sooner or later similar regulations will iavo to bo enforced in every city in the country. The wires and poles are un sightly and extremely dangerous , and some day they will have to go. TI1E ST1U1KTS Of OMA1IA. The people of Omaha , perhaps , think ; hat wo have the worst streets in the world , and that older cities in the cast iavo streets that are well-paved and free 'rom mud. Wo admit that the thorough- arcs of Omaha at the present time are in horrible condition , but they might bj oven worse. To these who are inclined ; o grumble wo would say that oven in tfow York there is the loudest kind of complaints about the condition of the streets. The Now York Evening Post , of a recent date , says : "Tho pavement in many of the down- , own streets , especially these east of Broadway , is very much in need of ro- mir , and while the roadways are not as bad as they wore before the removal of , ho old wooden pavements , the occupant ) f a light wagon incurs considerable risk ! n driving over some of the streets. The pavement of Broadway which WAS laid on a foundation of concrete lias boon torn up and rclaid in patches , from time _ to time , for the purpose of laying mains of steam-heating pipes and telegraph wires , and for re pairs to sewers , gas mains , water pipes , etc. , and to-day the roadway is BO rough and uneven that en a rainy day the water collects in pools , Bomo of which cover a apace eight or ton foot in diameter. Ono of the last acts of Comptroller Campbell , whllo ho WAS at the heud of the depart ment of publio works , was to lay a now pavement on Fulton street from Broad way to the East liver. This pavement was laid in the best manner , oua _ foun dation of concrete , but in less than a month after the work was com pleted it was torn up for the purpose of making a newer connection. Since that lime steam heating-pipes , now gaa mains , ind other subterranean pipes have bci n laid in thioj ] thoroughfare , and to-davthu | street ia in some places almost unsafe for travel. At the southwest corner of Gold and Fulton streets a now building has boon erected. The pavement in front of thia building was torn up for the purpose of constructing the collar walls , and has not boon properly rolaid. For a distance of nearly 100 foot the roadway on the south side of the street between the cai track and the sidewalk is almost impassa ble. " The Evening Post devotes threo-quar- tore of a column in pointing out the al most impassable places in the streets , all of which are paved. From the above ex tract it will bo soon that in Now York pavements are laid upon a concrete foundation. Thia is what ought to be done in Omaha , whether the pavement ie of stone or asphalt. It should have been done on Tenth street. Wo hope that , ii it in not too late , stops will bo taken to lay the Farnam street stone pavement on a first-class concrete foundation. Out soil ia too soft to hold a stone pavement in place any length of time , if it ie laid simply on a bed of sand and broken stone. It will not bo long before the Tenth street pave ment will have ugly depressions and holes in it.and it will have to bo frequent ly rolaid , in various places. The asphall pavement has boon laid on a splendid concrete foundation , and the same kind of foundation should bo provided for the atone pavements. Another important matter that should bo attended to immediately on all streotc that have boon ordered to bo paved it the making of all gas , water and BOWOI connections before any pavement is laid. It will not do to allow this matter to be neglected now , and then hereafter per mit the pavement to bo torn up in hun dreds of places for the purpose of making those connections. Such work will ruin any pavement. It is hoped that the city council will compel property owners to make their connections as soon as the streets are ready to ba paved. Tun famous life insurance case of Col. Dmght , of Biughampton , N. Y. , whc died suddenly eoon after insuring hia life for § 250,000 in different companies , is al last being settled up by the insurance companies after a long and vigorous fighl in the courts to resist the payment of the policies. Throe of the companies have now paid their policies , ono being foi $10,000. It is very likely now that the wholo25GOOOwill eventually boobtaincd by the heirs of Col. D wight. WHEN thouowcouncil comes in the vcrj first thing it ought to do is to appoint : competent auditor , who shall thoroughly examine the booka and records of the city officials , so that wo may know jusl how wo stand. This has been done before fore , the accountant for that purpose boinj made by special appointment. If the records and books in the clerk's office arc behind and ho cannot catch up ho should bo given assistance. There is altogether too much looseness in our municipal bus iness. AccouniNd to Mr. Bliss , there are still pending thirty star ruuto indiotmenta. If no more rapid progress is inado than there has been in the previous cases , the trial of the last indictment will probably not bo reached before the end of the pres ent century. If Mr. Bliss could continue as prosecuting attorney at $100 a day , he would probably bo willing to continue losing money , as ho says ho has , by beit > in the ovorumont employ.

PKEHIDKNT Annum is receiving a great deal of praise from the leading nowspa- > ors over the country for the appoint ment of Judge Brewer , of Kansas , to fill the Eight United States judical cir cuit. The Now York Jfcrald says : Judge Brnwcr has not meddled in politics , but has windy dovotcd himself , o his professional duties. His appoint ment to the federal bench in ono of the mnnt important circuits in the country is a deserved promotion , and in making it President Arthur has meritoriously passed jy all political aspirants and acted on .ruo principles of civil service reform. BAUNUM has offered a prize to of $500 'or the best poem of fifty lines on his sacred elephant. Wo know of but ono } udding genius anywhere in the west who is capable of gathering in this prize , tf.

IT now transpires that it wasn't the championship of the American hog that displeased Mr. Bismarck half so much with Minister Sargent as the champion- hip of women sufforago which made Mr. Sargent offensive to Kaiser William's Chancellor. THE trial of William Pitt Kellogg for complicity in the star route crimes will aeon begin in Washington. There is ; oed ground for the belief that Mr. Ooorgo Bliss will not appear for the gov ernment. PItOM RUIN I'O A Bankrupt 1'ucblo Banker Becomes a Texas Cattle King. Denver Tribune. Seven years ago Charley Goodnight , of Pueblo , was a bankrupt , without a dollar in the world and a hopaless future ahead of him. To-day Col. Charles Goodnight , of Corpua Christ ! , Texas , is a millionaire , and an influential man in the state. The Charley Goodnight , of Pueblo , and the Col. Goodnight , of Texas , are ono and the same man , and the revolution in his financial circumstances has been brought about by the cattle business. * ' AT I'OEULO UANKER. In 1873 the name of Charles Good right , the Pueblo banker , would have made a draft worth $400,000 or $500OCO. Ho was known throughout the state as an upright , liberal and public spirited man , and was respected in all business circles , as well as popular generally. The finan cial panic that year shook the credit of iiis bank , and the institution was not able to withstand the succeeding shocks which came upon all banks of the coun try during the next three years , until in 1870 it succumbed to a heavy blow fol lowing a stock agitation in Now York. The ruined banker had a young wife and two childon dependent upon him , and his failure nearly droro him to despair. After formally announcing that the bank : iad closed its doors to depositors ho Walked homo and throw himself upon a lounge in the parlor. In an honest effort to save his depositors ho had made an as signment of everything ho had in the world , including his house and furniture , and the thought of his wife and children , who know nothing of his desperate con dition , waa agonizing to him. A J-KUE WOMAN. Hia wife came in shortly , loading one of the children by the hand , and coming up to the husband kissed him on the forehead. The man broke down and sobbed aloud. "What ia it. Charles , " asked Mrs. Goodnight , gently. "I am ruined , Jennie , " responded the banker. "I have literally nothing. I shall not bo able to pay our biker's bill if ho presents it to-morrow , " aud a reve lation of his financial crash followed. Mrs. Goodnight listened very calmly un til the Htory was ended. "Charles , " aho said , "do you rom em ber my herd of cattle iu Lis Animas county ? " "I have given up the rancho to my creditors , " ho responded dreamily. "Tho cattle too ] " asked sho. "No , That is true , they remain , " ho answered with recovered hope , sitting erect upon the lounge. "When T bought them for you , Jennie , four years ago , I paid $17,000 for the 1,000 head , and they must have increased sinr.o. There is a chance for us yet. Shall wo begin life anew with my present to you aa a capital ? " "As you sav Charles , " answered his wife , confidingly. "Wo will go away from Colorado , " she added fondly , "and you shall become a cattle king , " OOODMIUUT A3 A BTORKMAK. Her woman's prediction was fulfilled , The banker , stimulated by her encourage ment , aroused himself from his depres sion , settled up his affairs in Pueblo in a week , and going to his ranch hired cow boys and set out for the panhandle of Texas with the cattle. Ills health , which had been impaired by his business troubles , began to grow bot'or , and the life of a cattle man grew to have a charm for him , while his devoted wife aided him in the business with great shrewd ness , taking charge of all the accounts and handling all the money of the busi ness. Ho had not been in the panhandle a year when ho discovered what ho then insisted , and other people have binco uckuowlcdod to bo the finest runch iu the world , aud as Unils were north next to nothing.ho pre vailed upon John Adair , au Irish million aire , to loan him the money to purchase the hnd and more cattlo. The mult wai a partnership arrangomcntby which Aduh furnished the funds and Goodnight had A third interest in the property acquired. Mr. Goodnight still continued to help him in managing the affairs of the much , and the business prospered , until last month , when ho cnit up accounts ho found ho was worth fully $1,000,000. Adair comes over from Irclnnd to visit the ranch every year , and ho finds the $000,000 ho loaned Goodnight has quad rupled under thn influence of Texas at mosphere. THI : aooDNioar IUNCH. The ranch occupied by the former bunker and present cattle men ia univer sally acknowledged to bo the longest and most valuable cattle range in the world It is situated at the head waters nf the Pccos river in the Panhandle , and con tains 500,000 acres of excellent grazing land , .surrounded by 350 miles of barbed wire fence. Col. Richard KiiiR , of Cor pua Christ ! , down in the corner of the state next tn the gulf , has moro cattle than Mr. Goodnight , but North Texas men insist that the latter han the best water and the best grass. The ranch will carry thrco times as many cattle as are now pastured upon it , some 60,000 ; and the hard is being in creased and improved in quality each year. When it is considered that the state of Ilhodo Island contains only 674- 000 acres , it will bo realized that the former Coloradoan owns what the ranch men call "quito a spot of land.1' The cattle on his ranch are all finely bred , as Goodnight has graded them up by intro ducing the best foreign breeds and in the market these bring 15 to 20 percent moro than those from other ranches. Ilia 700,000 acres of land wore bought at 50 cents and $1 an acre withm the past thrco or four four years , but could bo sold readily at double that price to day.His His good fortune ia not paralleled by any similar case known among cattle men , but both ho and hia charming wife do- sotvo it , and their many friends in Colorado rado , and especially in Pueblo , are hear tily clad ; to know of the success of his venture.

She passed two revenue cutters and the flag ship Tennessee , and proceeded to the upper harbor , where aho vraa seized by the collector , who placed inspectors on board. There were throe people aboard two colored , and a Cuban negr" in charge. The latter said ho was engaged to pilot the Shorters to Capo Florida ; that on rounding Fort Taylor Acuero told him , with a drawn pistol , that ho must take the party to the Cuban coast. On approaching near Cardmas he directed the pilot to land abreast a plantation then in sight , where horses could bo obtained. The party reached the beach. Tno pilot put to sea , and saw an extensive fire before getting clear of laud. Ho thinks the plantation building was burned. It is evident that the Span ish consul , through his detectives , discov ered and transmitted to Washington more information than was possessed by the federal officials here. Jleports vary re garding the number of lilibusterers , said to bo between twelve and twenty , The Shorters are said to have a small number of carbines. ' WASHINGTON April 0. The Spanish legation here have no information respecting - , ing the landing at Key West of filibusters in Cuba. The party having landed there it is not a concern of the legation but a matter for the local authorities to deal wtth. They are satisfied the United States authorities hero did their whole duty in the matter , but that the Key West custom oilicors were exceedingly negligent and responsible for the failure to prevent the expedition from getting away. _ _ I'dibOll In the blood will nearly always show itself in the Spring.
