TUB board of public works will do well
to carefully inspect the 0timing street
curbing and guttering before accepting
the work. The guttering has boon very
carelessly dono.

TUB quiet city of St. Joe , Missouri ,
with a population of 35,000 or 40,000
people , has a police force of thirty mon ,
while Omaha , with a population of 00-
000 people , haa only a force of twenty
policemen. If St. Joe needs thirty po
licemen , Omaha needs about forty.
THE vessel just finished for the naval
department is pronounced well and thor
oughly made in every particular. Al
though she will carry only ono gun , it ia
Bomot.hing to have one ship in the navy
that is soiworthy. It is not particularly
gratifying , however , to know that the
vessel cost the government at least twice
as much at it would any private owner.
A CONSTITUTIONAL amendment is now
proposed forbidding congress to make
anything a legal tender but gold and sil
ver , except a > a war measure. This is a
good deal like looking the stable door
after the horse has been stolen , It is
aafo to say that no congress over will
make anything but gold and silver legal
tondera again. A law proscribing ( ( old as
the only legal tender would bo of some
uso.
HENUY WARD BKECHEU baa written a
letter in which ho takes strong grounds
against the republican revenue reformers
having anything to do with the demo
crats. Ho says that there is no hope to
bo placed in the letter and the only
chance of aoouring a reduction of th ta
riff ia through the republican party. This
shows that ago has not impaired Henry's
ability to BOO through a stone wall when
ho can find a hole.
TUB Wily Randall is holding up ono
end of the Payne boom with the idea
, * - that if the standard oil buooanoor cannot
be nominated ho may himself slip in. If
Payne la nominated , ho thinks ho will bo
sure of a cabinet position. Mr. Randall
ia a gentleman of a discerning mind , but
ho forgets something that has got to como
between the nomination and a cabinet
position. That is the olootlou.
TUB civil service examination which is
to bo hold in Omaha May 15th , for appli <
cants forgovornmont positions , is evident'
ly intended only for thoao who are cook
ing places in the postal service , as the
examining board is made up of PoRtm
tor Ooutant , Assistant Postmaster Wood-
aid , and Chief Olcrk Lawton. It seems
to us that the board should bo made up
of mon from the different departments ,
instead of postal ofllciala alono.
CITY MA.UHUAL QUTUBIB notified the
m city council on Tuesday evening that ho
had indefinitely suspended Policeman
Lane for being drunk , and at the same
mooting the council confirmed the ap
pointment of William Nightingale as
policeman. Nightingale has boon on the
polim force before , and was put off for
being drunk and for creating a disturb
ance at an election polling place. In
order to bo consistent , and in accordance
with the eternal fitness of things , the
council ought immediately to reinstate
Mr. Lane.
A GHOST story is started to the effocl
that Baa Butler is secretly making encr
oui strides towards the presidency and

Illinois , Iowa and Wisconsin have signed
an oath-bound agreement to work foi
'

TUB STJlVdOLB
Analysis of tlio vote by which it wai
decided to take up the Morrison bill
shows that the final passage of the incas-
uro by the home , is oven more doubtful
than had boon before believed. A ma
jority of only two on a question of such
vital moment , to the democratic party , is
really n mild defeat. But there is reason
to bcliovo that when the bill corned to n
final vole , it will not have even n majori
ty of two The vote by which the con
sideration was begun was 130 to 140. Of
those who voted "ayo , " three , Messrs.
Anderson , Strait and Nelson , wore re
publicans , who thought that in the great
necessity for some kind of tariff reduc
tion , the bill prepared by the ways and
means committee was worthy of examina
tion , at least. Now it is not possible
that ono of those will vote for the bill
on its paaoftgo. It is one thing to vote to
consider n bill and a very different
thing to vote to pass it. Besides
those throe republicans , ono at least of
the democrats who voted with the major
ity is perfectly certain to oppose the bill
itself. Ho is a Randall man and definitely
committed against the measure. How
many moro there may bo like him it is
impossible to toll. Certainly ho docs
not stand alono. Ono of the Morrison
faction on the day before the vote , gave
it as his opinion , after careful investiga
tion , that the motion to conaidor would
muster a much larger support than Mr.
Morrison could expect to secure after the
debate. Ho felt sure that a largo number
of Randall's followers would not dare to
vote against the discussion of the bill ,
whlla they would surely vote against its
enactment. The Morrison mon mustered
their full strength on Tuesday. They
have no further resources. It ia very
hard to BOO how they can possibly pass
their bill.
The situation is very critical for the
democrats. It is rumored that if the
bill shall fail to pass , the Morrison demo
crats will Bocodo and begin a separate or
ganization. If it does pass , the Randall
mon will bo very indifferent if not op
posed to the success of the party in the
coming campaign. The fate of the bill
is thnrofoio of the greatest importance to
the party. To the republican , the issue
is exceedingly interesting. The result ,
either way , cannot affect thorn , since the
election of a republican president ia cer
tain whatever way the light gooa. But it
will bo exceedingly interesting to see
which faction will pub the knife to the
throat of the republican's ancient onomy.
The debate will not bo closed for a
week or two. Of course , the ad vacates of
the bill will bring to its aid a vast array
of arguments , statistics and figures. This
is a necessary form that must bo gone
through with , and will bo entirely with
out effect in the result. The country , in
the meanwhile , will watch for the end
with great interest. It will bo much the
most important political event that has
occurred for some years.
TUB appearance of Mr. Tildon in his
letter to the Iroquis Club ia that of a
very small and very peevish child pot
ting in a corner aud nursing a vary old
soro. Ho takes advantage of an invita
tion to write about "Tho Federal Con
stitution , " to exhibit his wounds and ask
i little sympathy for them. It is the old
story of the great fraud. In avery ease
but ono "tho power of the amendment
has boon sufficient to control a majority
for the party now in powor. " In that
ono , "it collected military troops from
around the caj.itol and by this and other
moanu intimidated the congressional representatives
resontativos of a majority of the people
to relinquish the fruits of their victory
and surrender the government to the
control of a minority. " What this infan
tile lament has to do with the federal
constitution it ia impossible to say. But
this is the sum and substance of all Mr.
Tildon's lottor. There are a few vague
and unvitain remarks about the "early
patriots" nud Governor Morris , but no
ono knows what they moan. There are
also a few commonplaces about the pres
ent corrupt condition of the government
and the necessity for reform , but these
have long since failed to bo of any signifi
cance The whole thing looks very much
like an attempt on the paH of Tildon to
work up Biifllciont pity for the alleged
wrongs ho haa suffered to aocuro the
nomination.
TUB alleged fatal defect in the * Iowa
prohibitory law consists in the fact that
some of the provisions of the penalties
aot are interfered with and rendered null
by some of the provisions of thoplinnnacj
act which was passed subsequently. It
is claimed that uono of the now penalties
will apply and the stringent prohibitory
aw will practically bo useless. Botli
sides are preparing to contest this ques
tion in the courts. Having already
warned the supreme court of the result !
which will follow refusal to comply witli
their wishes , the prohibitionists fool
moderately confident as to the result
Until the question is decided by the supreme
premo court , however , there will proba
bly not bo very much prohibition it
Iowa.
TUB now plan of running the fast ma !
train clear through from Chicago is t
great improvement over the old systerr
of having it overtake the regular train al
Ottumwa , and there transfer the mai
car to that train. Under the nowar
rangemcnt il'.t fast mail arrives about at
hour earlier in the ovoning.
STUANOH as it may seem , there is i
great deal of opposition to a fall invest !
gallon of the Cincinnati riot. Some o
the papers and a good many people a ;
t that it will do nq good to know tbo trutl
, about the matter , and only injure itll
1 further the city's good name. For thi
[ reason it it doubtful if the exact facts B
to the disgraceful affair will over bo offi
cially ascertained. There should not ,
however , bo any paltering with this kind
of nonsense. The whole country has a
right to the truth. The authorities will
only bo committing another crlmo if they
do not find it out.
HLAINtfS HOOK.
The first volume of Jamo < i O. Blaino's
book was to have been issued in Boston
yesterday. The work haa boon pushed
as rapidly as possible , there being norno
good reason , probably of a political character -
actor , of getting it before the public at
onco. About two hundred pages are de
voted to the political revolution of 1800 ,
and the volume takes the reader down to
the time of Garfiold. Mr. Blaino's pub
lishers are very enthusiastic over this
work. They are confident of soiling
1,000,000 copies. They have printed
200,000 copies of the first volume , and
are now at work on 200,000 moro.
Mr. Blaine haa been at work on the
first volume only a little over a year. It
is entirely his own production , the only
assistance ho haa received being from
Gail Hamilton , who has road aomo of
the revised proofs for him. Mr. Blaino's
publisher has this to nay of Mr. Blaine ,
which just at this time will bo road with
a great deal of interest :
"Mr. Blaine is ono of the most meth
odical writers I have over mot. Ho has
not kept us waiting an hour for copy.
His handwriting is not good , and the
printers have had their share of cursing
over it , aid ho interlines a great deal ,
but ho is always on timo. His revises
gave us considerable trouble. You know
matter does not look the same in print us
in manuscript , and ho has corrected
and amended a great deal. In every
case , though , ho has improved on
the subject matter. In fact , ho haa
ijivon a great deal of time ana attention
to polishing the work , and I think a fair
critic will say that his style is un
usually good , The second volume will
bo ready next fall. It has been frequent
ly assorted that the book would never
BOO the light , aud these stories have made
t difficult in nomp instances for our
agents to got subscriptions. It was said
that the book would bo hold back until
after the republican convention , and
-hat if Mr. Blaine got thn nomination ,
, hat would end the book. This is the
ropiest nonoonso. The book has no po
itical significance whatever ; it isarocord
of facts presented in an able manner by ono
I\M \ is familiar with them. The q uostionof
low the book would affect Mr. Blame's
iresidontial chances was discussed when
.ho work was first considered. Uo said
t did not mutter , ho would not bo a can
didate under any circumstances. 1 fool
certain that ho does not seek or want thn
nomination. The book will contain 57
lortraits , inc'tiding the pres'dents and
) ublic mon of both parties. There will
) o about an equal numbur of democrats
ind ropublicnus. In a newspaper recent-
y I was credited with saying that Mr.
131aino told mo to use Mr. Conkling's
portrait , as ho was the brains of the ro-
mblican party in Now York orsomoauch
qually extravagant statement. Mr.
lilaino never said any such thing , and
lever said that ho did. When the quos-
iou came up as to whoso portrait should
) u placed in the book to represent New
York state , we found it somewhat difficult
.o decide. Strange as it may seem. New
York has had during these twenty years
no really great public men like Bayard
and Thurman. Wo had Mr. Wheeler in
as ono of the vice presidents. Mr.
31aino said : 'Putin Senator Gonkling. '
[ spoke of the unpleasantness between
horn , but ho replied : 'Senator Colliding
las represented this great state during
.his time , and it is proper ho should go
n. ' That was all there was to it. I
hink Mr. Blaiuo has treated Mr. Conk
ing handsomely , and , in fact , I think ha
ms dealt honestly by all republicans and
democrats alike , giving credit where it
was duo and not fearing to censure ,
whether the parties found wanting wore
of his own political complexion or not. "
THE civil suits against the star route
; ang arc hanging fire because young Mr.
Bliss , whom the attorney general has
employed to look after them , has gone off
: o St. Louis. The attorney general
seems to think that young Mr. Bliss is the
only lawyer in the United States , and
that while ho is a'tending to his private
tmsinoss in St. Louis , the government's
affairs must wait. In the meantime ,
liowovor , Postmaster General Groshom ,
who is a very shrewd and able lawyer ,
lias expressed the opinion that it will bo
useless to try the cases in the district of
Columbia. This is exactly what experi
ence has previously demonstrated and
what everybody who knows anything
about the state of fooling in Washington
will admit to bo truo. Mr , Browster ,
however , has unlimited faith in the abili
ty of young Mr. Bliss , and whenever ho
is pleased to return from St. Louis , and
go to work , the attorney general says the
suits will bo begun.
Two cashiers of national banks in the
west are now at largo with all of the
available assnts of thn banks which they
were able to take with them , It is no-
ticuablo that no effort is being made in
cither case to capture the criminal , Evidently
dontly the bank officials thinic that the
expense of pursuit would bo heavy and
the advantage of soourinz a conviction
vary small. Tills is the way in which
selfioh considerations out-woigh the duty
which citizens owe to the public. It is
similar to the refusal
exactly to acrvo on
the grand jury and the other respects in
whiah good men permit bad men to have
their own way.
Mu. BLUNE says that if it is offered to
him ho will accept the leadership in the
national republican convention , but he
admits that his nomination is not prob
able , owing to the prejudices agaiust him
in New York and other states. If hu
cannot secure the nomination himself , ho
will throw his influence for Sherman. Uo
does not conceal his preference for Sher
man , whom ho regards an the coming can-
didato.

WEST OF TJIR xisaovnr ,
The opening of the Omaha reservation
lands to pro-omption and settlement on
the 30th inst. has already attracted a
largo number of land hunter * to that
vicinity. The manner and method of
disposing of these lands is different from
that which obtained at other reserva
tions. There will bo no auction of the
lands. They have boon appraised in 40
aero tracts , the price ranging from $5 to
$20. Any person over 21 years of ngo
and a citizen of the United States can
file on any portion of the land on the day
monUoncd , the first ono in having the
pick of the land. Two years are allowed
to make final payments. None but bona
fide aottlers can purchase and 100 acres
ia the limit to any ono man. Fifty thou
sand acroi will bo thrown open to settle
ment. The land is equal to the best in
the state and the rush will bo lively.
Iho appraised price is high for the reason
that there are no improvements of a
public nature. When roadt > are built ,
county government organized and
housed , school houses and churches
built , the cost will roach that of improved
farm land surrounding the reservation.
However , it will have the advantage of
being ncnr established markets with
ample facilities for transportation of its
products.
The collapse of the Blair bridge is a
serious blow to business on the Sioux
City & Pacific in Nebraska. A gentle
man from Valentino who visited the
wreck on his way to this city states that
fully four hundred foot of the eastern approach
preach was taken out by the flood ; and
that instead of six weeks it will take six
months to repair the damage. A very
strong current runs through the gap , and
it is believed another span will have to
bo added to the bridge. Our informant
ouys thu closing of the bridge has para-
1) zad railroad building in the northwest
The contemplated extension of the line
boyona Vulonlino has been abandoned
for the present. The recent sale of the
property to the Chicago & Northwestern
will doubtless cause some change of
plans , the nature of which will not bo
known for aomo timo. The length of
the line in ( his ntato is 423 miles. The
country tributary to the road in Holt ,
Brown and Cherry counties ia being act-
-led up rapidly , which insures a paying
ocal traffic after the first harvest.
A member of the Missouri colony ,
which passed through Omaha a few weeks
ago on the way to Cherry county , com-
> lains bitterly in The Valentino Ropor-
; or , of the manner in which the members
wore treated by agents of tno Union Pa
cific at the transfer. It seems the U. P.
drummers by deliberate lying , tried to
nduco the colony to go out by way of
Sidney , and failing to make their scheme
win , showed their hands by locking their
telegraph offices , ordering the people out
) f their cars into mudholea , and even
threatening to use force to hasten their
exit. The U. P. mon told the colony it
was a nearer and moro practicable route
ay way of Sidney ; that in going by the
Sioux City & Pacific route an Indian res
ervation had to bo crossed where people
were liable to bo scalped by merciless
"
savages , and numerous other "yarns of a
similar character. The facta are that the
Sioux City & Pacific route via Valentine
is the most practicable. From Sidney
across the road is almost impassable in
many places on account of' 'gumbo"a ( thick
mud ) on the bottoms. There is a stretch
of Baud to pull through nearly a hundred
nilea in length , and there are several toll
Dridgea on the route where from ono to
; hroo dollars is exacted from the luckless
teamsters going that way.
The Seward Ceal Prospecting Company
will soon begin operations with the best
machinery that money can buy , and the
result of the bore will be watched with
much interest by the people of the state.
A contract has been closed with a Den
ver company to sink the hole a thousand
'eot if necessary. A solid core drill will
jo used and some interesting facts in ro-
ation to the geological formation are
looked for as well aa black diamonds. The
Seward "No enterprise
Reporter truly says :
prise has been entered upon which has
called forth such universal interest and
jood wishes as this. If successful it will
bo of inestimable value to Seward county
nnd the state , The location is the beat
that could bo selected , being about four
miles from the Midland Pacific railroad
ind two miles from the line surveyed by
the U. P. in the northeastern part of the
county.
The free puff drummer of the Burling
ton route has favored THE. BUB with a
copy of a Denver paper containing a com
plimentary editorial notice of the
company , joined with a bitter at-
attack on the Union Pacific. Lest
the pud should bo overlooked , a liberal
amount of red ink was used to attaot at-
iontion. Of course wo pounced upon it ,
and merely mention the fact now to show
the company how vigilantly its western
advertising agent looks out for number
mo. The editorial referred to was a la
borious effort to show that the Burling
ton had uracticnlly crowded the Union
Pacific out of the business of Denver ;
that the latter will bo forced to accept
whatever terms the former may dictate ,
and also congratulating Denver and Col-
> rado on thu blisjlugs flowing over the
Burlington routo. There are downs
of town in Nebraska testifying
ihoir appreciation of similar blessings dU-
punsed by the Burlington by doing all in
( heir power to induce rival roads to re-
liuvo them of the incubus , and the same
is true of towns whore 'ho Union IV
oifio ia without a rival. Thuru is no real
business independence in any town where
nither road dictates the rates. The Bur-
ligtou can turn the screws and take "all
the traflio will bear" as readily as the over

The ro cent meeting of the chief apostles
and sainta of Mormoudorn in Salt Lake
City , furnish nmno interesting statistics
of the numerical strength of that much
married soot. The figures , show thnt in
Utah and Idaho , out ol twenty marriages
reported the returns of births foot up
1G20. T.hlsretult may appear astounding -
ing to the uninitiated but it should be
remembered that the revised Mormon
plan does not sauctou moro thau ouo
wito , all addition * being ' 'sealed" for Uiu
future. The total number of saints in
U'ah , Idaho , Arizona and Colorado is
138,870. Of this number there are in
Salt Lake City alouo 23 769. There ia
no record uivon of nmrmgo in Salt LaVe
City , but there were 87 births. There
j arii ton apostles and sixty eight patriarchs.
The seventies , whose occupation is not
number 4817 and thu high prieMs
3413. The oltlcH as usual discount , 1
other Afllcoi * , the total being 12101 ,
while the plain and unassuming priests
number only 1011. Besides tlicso there
are deacons , touchers nnd other snper-
numoraritB. Twenty-two backsliders have
been bounced from communion with zion
and 8-12 deaths have occurred. It will
bo scon from thcso statistics that the
"pnculiar institution" will naturally in
crease without the addition of proselyting ,
and at a rate sufficiently largo to require
radical measure's to enable the gentiles to
"catch on. "
United Slntoa Commissioner Beach re
ports the experiment of boring for arte
sian water on the plains a failure. The
experiment clearly demonstrated that
south of the Platte Valley it is im
possible to strike watorwhich would bo of
any value for the purposes intended the
watering of stock. The money appropri
ated by congress , $20,000 , appears to
have been expended in such a manner as
to secure the greatest amount of work
possible , and that a failure has occurred
can only bo charged to the fact that
flowing water could not bo reached at the
points where the experimental wells were
sunk. Mr. Beach doubts much if the
water-bearing stratuma extend to as great
a distance from the mountains an 120
miles , and is of the opinion that if ho had
succeeded in striking a vom of flowing
water it would bo so impregnated with
mineral as to bo practically useless fir
the purpose intended The striking of a
flow of gas would seem to indicate the
presence of coal or petroleum , but the
experiment failed to confirm the opin
ion.

JAY GOULiU AI WORK.
How tlio Wall Street Magnate Pats
in HlH Time Ilia Dally
Routine.
tfow York Correspondent Cincinnati Nowe-Jouinal.
Since Gould's return three haa boon an
unusual pressure at his office , but few ,
however , are favored with an interview.
No man has moro enemies on Wall street
thau Jay Gould , and there is no tolling
what shape their enmity may assume.
Scores , and even hundreds , of ruined
ipeculators ascribe their misfortunes to
him , and many of these are only awaiting
a suitable opportunity of rovongo. Gould
seems to bo conscious of this , and thereFore -
Fore keeps concealed as much as possible.
He is , indeed , the hidden power ot Wall
street. Ho rarely loaves his office , and
no ono can obtain admittance until a
sorioa of statements have been made. A
card is placed in the visitor's hands , on
which ia printed as follows"Stato name , "
"State residence , " "State busineas. "
Thcso boirig printed ono above the other ,
with broad blanks to bo filled out , have
a rather forbidding appearance , aud
many who wiah to see Gould are deterred
at the very outset. When the card is
sent in , the chances are much against an
interview. There are not uioio than a
score of persons whom Gould wants to
see. Among these are Russell Sage ,
H. N. Smith , Washington Connor , Col.
Hain , John T. Terry , and Gen. Eck-
bart. When Gould was the moneyed man
of The Tribune ho allowed its reporters
admittance , but at present ho excludes all
of this , class.
Gould reaches his office with a perfected
scheme of operation. He is-not obliged
to look at the morning papers- for stuck
reports , as these have been rood from the
"ticker'1 as they take place , and if ho
should be at his house they are sent up
by telegraph. Before he goosto bed
Sould has a complete idea of all that has
boon done in Wall street , and ho awakens
in the morning with a clear and decisive
system for the day's work. It is this an
ticipation of the future which gives him
such advantage over other operators As
soon as ho is seated at his desk , Mirosini
brings in the telegrams and also all news
paper articles that have a financial im
portance. This ia all Gould wants to
know. Ho carea nothing for politics or
athor public matters , except as they may
bear upon hid interests. It will take from
ouo to two hours to reply to dispatches
and to tolegrcph orders , and as Gould
controls nearly five thousand miles of
railroad track this ia no small task.
While sitting in his office he may be
conferring with men in St. Louis , Chicago
cage and San Francisco almost at the
Btuno timo. Then the stock-exchanf > o
"ticker" begins its reports , , and a half-
dozen brokers are kept under telegraphic
orders. By this time business calls are
mado. Each man whoso card is approved
lias a brixf space given him. In this
manner Gould does a tremendous amount
of business in a short time. Ho seems
always self-possessed , and generally holds
the vantage ground , but even when cor
nered ho concedes in a. handsome manner
whnt might bo demanded under a legal
process. No man caa be in Gould's pres
ence five minutes without feeling his
power. His uyoa have a penetration
which seems to roach th hidden dupth of
thought. These eyes , indeed , are a curi
osity so black , BO piercing , aud BO sul
len. They at once proclaim the selfish
powtr of a relentless autocrat , whoso
motto has invariably been "rule or ruin. "
