HON. JOHN R. LYNCH , the colored delegate

propriate and befitting , and bore ov

TUB ordinance Introduced at the las
council meeting making the licenses fo
circusses $300 a day ; for each slugging
pairing or boxing match , $100 ; oath variety
rioty theatre , $500 , etc. , is a step in th
right direction , but it docs not go fa
enough. Oircusses ought to bo made t
pay at the very least $500 a day. The
take out of the city thousands of dollars
aud spend little or no money , except fo
advertising. They can well afford to
pay $500 a day in such a great show
town as Omaha. Aa to the license f o
slugging matches , wo hope the ordinance
will bo amended so as to make the licens
$ l,000andfor variety dives $1,000 wouU
be about the right figure. In othe
words the slugging and variety business
ought to be prohibited.
2HE PU11LIC LANDS.
The public lands committee reported
omo days ago in favor of repealing the
itnbor culture and pre-emption laws
The committee's recommendation was
made after a careful investigation , the re
ult of which wns the discovery that im
nonso tracts of lands are being obtained
undot- the law for eastern nnd foreign
apitalists. Under the law ns it is , ono
person may obtain 100 acres by pro
jmption at $1.2 per aero nnd a short
ottlomont , and 100 acres by going
hrough the farce of breaking five ncrcs
nd planting it to trees , nnd ICO acres by
ivo year's actual residence thereon ,
ipcakinn of the working of the pro-
mption law the comtnittco say :
Whole townships of the public domain
_ ave boon acquired under this law by
apitalista who do not reside within linn-
reds of miles of the land , nnd never did.
'hoy have secured them through paid
gents in their ompjoy , who receive so
much for their services when they make
10 proof necessary to entitle them to _ a
atent from the tjovoriiinoiit , nnd assign
ioir claims to their employers. This is
one , of course , through perjury nnd
iboniation of perjury , for each no of
loao agents or claimants is required to
nako settlement on the preemption claim
ndor the law , and ho must mnko oath
oforo the register or receiver of land in
iio district that ho has not settled upon
nd Improved such land to sail the same
n speculation , but in good faith to np-
ropriato it to his own exclusive use , nnd
lat ho haa not directly or indirectly
nado nny agreement or contract in an )
ay or manner with nny person whntso-
vor , by which the title which ho might
cquiro from the government of the
Jnited States , nhould insure in whole , or
n part , to the benefit of any person ox-
opt himself. And yet it it IB well known
hat this oath ia daily taken by parties
rho make it under contracts such na weave
ave indicated abovo. Their file \vith
10 register of the proper land district
lioir declaration making their proof , nH- (
avit , and payment requirud by the law ,
nd receive their title , and transfer the
amo to the parties with whom they
nado the contract before they attempted
o make a preemption.
Secretary Teller , in hia report upon
10 timbar culture net , says that his in-
rmation loads him to the conclusion
mt a majority of entries under thnt
ct are made for speculative
urposcs , and not for the cultivation of
mbor. Compliance with law in these
aaos is a mcroj pretence , and dooa not
oault in the production of timber. On
lie contrary , as ono entry in a section
xhausts the timber-culture tight in that
oction , it follows that every fraudulent
ntry prevents a bonn-fido ono [ in any
orlion of that section within which the
raudulont entry is mado. Secretary
'oiler's information is that no trees are
o bo soon over the vast regions of conn-
ry where timber-culture entries have
eon most numerous.
It is proposed by the committee to
oroaftor give only 100 acres to any
no , and that only upon the rigid condi
Ions that every homesteader shall make
nal proof of two creditable witnesses
hat ho has resided upon and cultivated
and permanently improved his homestead
'or four consecutive years. Other pro
visions are to bo made against fraud , In
securing public lands. Although the
mblio domalti seems inexhaustible , it is
rapidly diminishing. Last year 10,430 ,
032 acres were taken up in ono way and
another , an increase of 5,000.000 acres
over 1882 , and nearly 9,000,000 in 1881 ,
Of this vast area a trifle over 8,000,000
acres were in homestead entries , but the
attoraro increasing so fast that by them
elves they are making largo inroads year
y Into the lands still belonging to th
; oYerment.
ALIEN OWNEKSHIP OF LANDS
The alarming extent to which foreign
crs have bocoino vast land owners in thi
country has been brought to the attention
tion of the national republican convention
tion in an address , which was road b ;
Alexander Sullivan , in behalf of the ox
oculivo commlttoo of the Irish National
league , The address shows the dangers
that are sure to result from the immons
land grabs that have boon made throug
railroad companies and other corporation !
by foreign capitalists. Ono of the prin
cipal dangers is the creation o
an immense absentee landlordism
by which , as the address states
the riches of our soil nnd the results o
the hardy labor of our citizens are to b <
drained out of the country to swell th
fortunes of the hereditary monopolists ,
who have obtained at least 20,000OCX
acres of our soil. This subject has boo
frequently discussed of late by the load
ing newspapers and statesmen of ou
country , and it Booms to bo the general
desire of our people that the ownership o
the tend in the United States must depend
pond upon American citizenship. Th
Irish National league , while
doubt having in view a blow principal ! ;
at English capitalists who have becom
immense land monopolists in the Unite
States , has struck the popular chord. Th
league in its movement against alien lane
owners and monopolist * ) will have th
sympathy and support of the great mass
of the American people , and the republican
can national convention will in all proba
bllity take decisive action upon the ma' '
tor , by making recommendations to congress
gross ' to enact prohibitory laws agaluit
a'jien ownership of lands. The conven
tion cannot afford to ignore the
fact that the ownership of land ,
especially in . immense tracts , by
foreigners , is contrary to the spirit of re
publican Institutions , and that such foreigners -
oigners should bo compelled to become
citizens of this country or relinquish their
lands to persons who are citizens ,
Fou four years tko BKH urged in and
out of season the passage of a municipal
building law which should prevent erec
tion of dangerous structures upon our
streets and assure the safety of the in
mates of Imilings and their neighbors.
Two years ago Mr. Herman from the
Sixth ward introduced euch a measure
but it died in the committee room pig-
con holes. The bill which has recently
pnaecd is n good ono , and its acopo is
made reaching nnd sufficient. It leaves
however , much to the discretion nnd
judgment of public works nnd still
moro to the vigilance nnd executive abil
ity of the chief engineer of the fire de
partment. The Hun calls up the
subject nt this day only to
say thnt the rules nnd regulations
to bo ndoptod by the board can hardly bo
too stringent in their precautions against
the possibility of the construction of nny
more such fire trnpa na wo have soon
erected within the lost few yours upon
our principal business streets. Omaha
lias had too many forests of fire enclosed
within brick vrilla , too much substantial
veneers nnd tinder box interiors , too few
business blocks built with nny view to n
possible emergency where CO or 100
human beings might bo compelled to
take their lives in their own hands by
running madly through blazing joists and
flaming wooden stairs to roach n place of
safety. * In compiling their regula
tions the board building should
bo guided laigoly by the oxpori-
onto of the other cities in like cases.
The thickness of party nnd foundntion
nnd outer walls , the arrangement of
joists nnd studding in relation to iluos ,
the width of halls nnd staircases , the
height of fire guards above the roofs , nil
these dolaih with a hundred others
should bo carefully considered , fixed in-
otructions to architects nnd builders is
sued nnd inflexibly adhered to when
mado. Strict vigllnnco nnd prompt pros
ecution of offenders will do much to
make such n building law respected nnd
obeyed. The result will then bo whnt
every well wisher of Omaha desires.
MA von OIIAHI : had the audacity to toll
10 city council kthat ho supposed
10 resolution requesting him to send in
isannual appointments referred to the
chief of the fire department , nbout whom
hero wns some controversy , nnd ho
horoforo sent in the appointment of
Chief Butler. Mnyor Ohaso well know
.hat the resolution referred particularly
to the city marshal , and ho well known
; ho reasons why the council nnd the pub
ic want him removed. It was oxpoctcd
, hat the mayor would , nt Tuosdny oven-
ng'o council mooting , send in the tip
ointments or make some explanation of
lis conduct. The mayor sent in no np
ointment of city marshal , but made
omo driveling excuse for retainingGuth-
io. IIo can find no precedent , ho says ,
'or making an tun 1 appointments. "In
ny experience in lifo I have become
omothing of n detective , nnd I hope the
ooplo will not think that I would re
move an oflicor unlosi there was somo-
liing against him , " says the honorable
mayor. Comment is hardly necessary ,
Suflico it to say , Mayor Ohaso is certainly
possessed of monumental check and unex
ampled stubbornness. His course can
only bo accounted for by the fact that ho
dare neb dissolve the partnership of Ohasi
& Quthrio. ,1

WEST OF THE MISSOUMI.
The stock raising interests of the woo
is at present undergoing an Importan
change for the bettor. It is no longer i
paying investment to purchase a herd o
cattle , brand them , and turn them loosi
on the prairie , nnd few man are roeklosi
enough to do it. The gradual and well dor
fined change in the climatic , condition *
of the country , the increased rain an <
snow fall , attributed to the rapid in
cronso of cultivated land , and the onor
moiis growth of the business , compel
the adoption of moro civilized method
for the care and protection of stock
Ton years nt > nil that was necessary t
start n man on the road to fortune was
cow and a bull. Turned loosn on th
boundless plains and fed on buffalo gras
they multiplied BO rapidly that in fiv
years a comfortable competence was
certainty. In some cases a pair of spurs
and a branding iron were the only capi
tal needed to aocuro the favor of th
fickle goddess , but the methods of the
latter class generally brought thorn to
ropo's end or to quarters in a penitentiary
The rapidity and ease with whic
money was made in those day
naturally attracted an unlimited amoun
of capital and hundreds of onorgotio men
So great has the influx boon that to-da ;
there are few acres of the public domai !
to bo found in Nebraska , Wyoming , Col
orado and Montana that are not inclosci
or included in the range of some cattl
king or'company. The process of mo
uopolizing nml..consolidating email herd
into largo concerns , and fencing in vaa
aroai of public land has boon going on
for several years. The former hu proven
a profitable success , the fences bare nol
What the government and the fouco oul
tors have notdomollsliodtho , owners wl
finish. There are upwards of 5,000,00 (
of acres now under fence in Colorado nnc
an equal amount in Nebraska and Wyo
ming , that do not belong to the parties
owning the fence , but are the inhoriUnc
of the entire people. There is but llttl
quostionTtlnt.the Secretary of the Inter !
or will BOOU order all fences down , whor
the fence owners do not hold patents t
the lauds. This has boon done in a fov
instances and the order will bo made universal
vorsal , without doubt.
The post winter's storms have provoi
fatal to hordi on fenced lauds withou
natural or artificial shelter. In the nor
thern part of Colorado , on the Repuhli
can river where the fences are there
has been a heavy loss of cattle. In som
sections the Ipaa has boon as high as 20
per cent of the whole number of cattle
while throughout the State the loss has
been no inoro than 4 per cent. Cattle in
the blizzard storms drifted against th
wire foncoa , and there lay down and dlo <
in largo numbers. In many instance
they were found tangled in the wire am
frozen where caught.
A great many stock men and companl
os are now negotating for the purchase o
the ranges oooupiod by them. It is bo
liovou the. present year will toe a larg
number of the finest range ) in the west
pass from public to private control. Tho' '
Union Pacific railroad company
has nlrcndy disposed of thou
sands of ncrcs of this land in
Wyoming for range purposes , The com
pany has made n wise rule in refusing to
sell to nny ono individual or association
oxcluaivo water rights. A purchaser can
secure land only on ono side of n stream ,
which prevents n monopoly of the most
essential element of the business.
With nctuol ownership in land will
omo moro advanced methods for the
, are nnd protection of stock. Winter
coding with oholtar must bo provided.
Pho annual saving in young nnd old
lock , the prevention of loss through
old , hunger nnd thirat during severe
inters , would soon repay the extra cost
f securing hay nnd construction of sheds ,
t would banish the annual anxiety as to
miter losses , improve the quality of beef
nd bring the business down to n Bottled
' .IBIS.
The reclamation of the nrid regions of
Vyomlnt , ' nnd Colorado , which has boon
otcd from time to time in THE BEE , is
no of the most important public
orks over undertaken by private
ntorpriso. Irritation has already
roved an unqualified success in
Utah , Montana , and in some parts
fl Colorado. Though n very heavy
torn of expense in farm management1
lie certainty of n crop is beyond the vn-
arics of mountain weather. "One of
ho largest undertakings of this kind , "
ays the Cheyenne Leader , "is that now
oing projected under the auspices of the
Vyoming dopolopmont company whoso
lace of operations in the Northern part"
jaramio county and the country
watered by the Sabillo. This plan
f development consisto of a ditch
vhich will reclaim GO.OOO acreo of Innd
which are now unlit for grazing purposes
Fho soil of the largo tract reclaimed is n
dark loam , nnd only requires water to
make it of sufficient fertility for agricul-
ural purposes. This ditch which was
commenced last fall , taps the Big Lara-
nio river in the foot hills of the Laramie
nountalns , nnd is of no small proportion ,
> oing twenty-five feet wide on ita bot-
om. After leaving the Laramie it passes
lirough a tunnel three quarters of a mile
eng which has boon excavated through
, ho almost solid rock of one of Laramio's
.oworinu hills , nnd continues ita course
, o the Blue Grnss crook into which it
empties. IToro the natural channel of
; ho Blue Grass is utilized , and
composes the ditch for n distance
of fifteen miles to the mouth , where
it empties into the Sabillo. Using the
channel of this latter stream for a dis-
nnco o ono and n half miles , a dam is
erected across it and from this point the
ditch proper again commences Mid winds
ts course over hills and through valleys
> f as fine a stratch ot country as can bo
jo found in Wyoming. The exact termi
nation of the ditch has not yet boon fully
decided upon but it will not bo less than
Ifty miles long nnd will eventually empty
into Laramie river. About four hundred
men and several hundred mules nro now
engaged in the enterprise. The force of
workmen is being rapidly increased , ns it
A the intention of the contractor to have
the ditch completed by winter. The
heaviest part of the work is now finishoe
and the remaining distance will bo rapid
ly covered. The cost of the undertaking
will not fall short of a half million dollars
of which the tunnel will cost one-fourth. '
The surveyors of the Union Pacifi
have completed the survey of a line o
railroad from Valparaiso to Rod Cloud
in Webster county. The line is said to b
the best in aomo respects over surveyed in
the west. Besides passing through a
rich and fertile section of the state th
grado.is unusually light. Following in
structions from headquarters the ligh
grade was obtained by a very careful sur
vos of the route , which is a pretty gooi
indication that the Union Pacific intend
to tap that part of that stato. The Roi
Cloud Chief , which has closely watchoc
the surveyors , concludes that the Union
Pacific folks are dcairous of encroaching
upon the territoryJof the B. & M. , an
for that reason propose to pay thorn bac'
in their own com for building into the !
their territory as they have frequently ?
done of lato. This being ono of the bee
B. & M. towns in southern Nebraska , th
U. P. have , wo believe , concluded tc
build a road to Rod Cloud from Yalpa
raise that would damage the B. & M. to
great extent In many ways , making
much shorter route for ono thing , an
probably cut freight rates down consider
able , a consumationdovoutly to bo wishc
for. The future prospects for Rod Clou
seem to bo good , and if [ the Burr Oa
road should also bo extended * to R t
Cloud , and on to Kearney , as it will n
doubt , should the U. P. put in their contemplated
tomplated road from Omaha , Rod Cloui
is certainly destined to bo a city of n
little importance.
A few weeks ago several well know
Nobroskans , residents of Oroto am
Omaha , quietly organized a land and cal
tlo company , filed their incorporatio
papers and wont to work without an
noise or flourish. The nauio of the com
pany is the Big Springs land and cattle
company , with a capital stock of $50,000
The company io composed of and oflic
orod by J. M. Dft'ughorty and F , 0
Craig of Omaha , M. A. Daughorty am
J. W , Craig of Crete , and F. 0. Millu
of Greenville , Pa. The range owned b/
this company Is located three hundroi
miles west of Omaha , in Keith county
in direct communication with Omaha by
the U. P. railroad.The range comprise
4,100 acres of land , "hold in foe with th
privilege and uio of 4,480. The soutl
line of the land is twelve miles from Bi
"firings , extending six miles to the Nortl
'latto river , giving three miles of wato
front on this novorrfalling stream. These
bluffs afford the finest of winter aholto
and food , and contain quarries of fine
building rook , together with growing
cedar sufficient for posts to fence the
entire tract. The bottom land extends
from ono to two and a half miles wide
and is covered with blue stem gross , cut
ting ono and ono-half tons of hay po
acre. Fine hay can bo cut on the rich
table laud back of the range of bluffs
On account of the hay which can bo pu
up for winter use in case of storms , range
food for running pasture , and the compa
ny owning their own land , thus being
assured from disturbance , as the range
limit is now being narrowed by the sot
tlomant of this country , which was ouca
the free range of every citizen , make
this ono of the finoat' ranch privileges in
the state.
Denver is not at all pleased with th
reform mothodsof the democrats in con
grots. It strike * home. The appropria
on for the now postofllco has boon cut
own and limited to $300,000 , and thu
agnificont pile of granite which was nt
rat mapped out has boon burled in the
valancho of economy. Supplementing
10 democratic method of retrenchment
10 architect of the treasury has put in
orco an inflexible rule that nil plans shall
o kept within the appropriation. This
nly increases the misery of Denver. Pro-
ious to the advent of Architect Boll it
wns the invariable practice to plan on n
avish ocalo and after exhausting the
rat appropriation call for another , nnd n
Ijird if necessary. The approved plan
f the building resembles somewhat the
onato Ting of the national capitol. It
rill bo three stories high with heavy un
lit columns nnd graceful corinthian pil-
ara above. The front ontrnnco Trill bo

The surveyors of the St. Paul & Omn-

vor the fields which the evanescent No-

'ho road has a magnificent country to
