APRIL is no spring chicken.
' 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.

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

THE New York senate has passed a bil
compelling all telegraph , telephone am

New York aud Brooklyn to put the !

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

companies after a long and vigorous fighl

now paid their policies , ono being foi

WHEN thouowcouncil comes in the vcrj

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.

The Dozen Dcspcratloea Who Went
Over to Capture Cuba.
KEY WEST , Fla. , April C. The
schooner Snorters arrived last night.
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. _ _
