MAYOR CJUHI : can eave the council
aomo little trouble by resigning , and at
the anne time ho may save himself nome

TUB I'AUTWKitsinr between Mayor
Chaio and Marshal Guthrie has bcon dis
solved , their business having ceased to bo
profitable.
TUB Now York Journal suggcuta to
domocratn the following ticket : ' 'Mr.
Tildcn'a Hat and Boots for President ;
Dr , Mary Wnlkor'a Waistcoat for Vice-
President.
SOMC ardent admirers of Sam Tilden
are comparing his letter of declination
with Wauhington'a farewell address.
There are all kinds of cranks but the
Tildon cranks take I ho first premium.
As a dork horse , the now city marshal
astonished the natives by getting thoro.
Ho was not BO much of a dark horao , however -
ever , as some persons rupposo. IIo had
his bonds propnred iu advance , and ovi-
dontlv know that ha had n nuro thing.
AN ordinance has been introduced in
the city council to extend the line limits.
This is a move in the right direction. No
more frame buildings uhould bo allowed
to bo built any where in the business part
of the city.
Itis amusing to hoar ox-Marshal Gutli-
rio talk about the meagre calory that ho
received. It must bo admitted , however ,
that it was rather moagro when compared
to the "perquisites" that ho received
from various sources.
IN THE democratic national convention
of 1880 there were thirteen starters In
the race for the presidential nomination. .
General Hancock took the load with 171
votco , and was followed by Senator Bay
ard with 103 . Henry B. Payne came
thiid with 81 votes. Ilandall got 0 votes
on the first ballot and 128J on the second.
The nomination was effected on the third
ballot.
THEY run politics in Ohicsgo about as
they do in Omaha. At the democratic
primaries , just before the voting began ,
a friend of Mayor Harrison , "kicked the
ntufllug" out of the ballot box. The stuff-
nig consisted of GOO anti-Harrison tick
ets , which had been slipped into the box
an hour or two bcforo the voting , Ono
would think that John Sahlor , of Omaha ,
and Pat. 0. ITtiwoa , of Washington , had
moved to Chicago.
TUB now ordinance regulating the sale
of liquors , as drawn up by the city attorney
noy , is all right , with the exception of the
date. Why an ordinance that is drawn
in conformity with a law now in existence
once siiuuld not take effect until January
1C , 1885 , is something -wo can't under-
M eland. Are wo to continue in on illegal
way for another six months in regard to
k' the liquor license ? The council ohould
pot hesitate to pass the ordinance and
nnko It take effect immediately.
TIIEHK is to bo a lively fight in Colorado
rado for the sanatoria ! seat of Hon. N.
1 ? , Hill. Mr. Hill will endeavor to sue-
coed himself. His opponents will bo
aX'J-lenator ChalToo , ox-Go vornor Routt ,
and probably W. A. Ilamill. Senator
Hitl is one of the few mon in congress
who have convictions of their own and
are willing to stand by them , oomo what
may , Such men are rare in public lifo ,
and Colorado could do no bettor than to
return Mr. Hill for a second terra.
THE Holly coinpanyU bo vividly
remembered , endeavored through bribery
to force ita
waterworks machinery upon
the city of Omaha , and would have BUC
ceodod had it not been for a vigilant nud
vigorous opposition and the interference
of the courts. Bribery , it eeoma , con
tinuea to be a ftvorlto method with , thi
Holly folka in introducing their "dlr o
presturu system. " Their latest eilort in
this direction la in the city of Toronto ,
, , where tlioir vilaliny haa just boon expos-
v'ed. Toronto come time ego invited bids
for water-works and
- pumping-jnginos ,
and at a meeting of the city council , on
Monday evening last , several aldermen
r
4
made a declaration on oath that they hoc
boon offered bribes by the Holly engine
company , of LocVport , N. Y , , to vote for
the adoption of the Holly pumping-'on
gino. The matter was referred to the
county judge for investigation , and it is
likely that Mr. Linnocr , who is there
representing the Holly company , will bo
arrested on the charge of bribery , whicl
is a crime in Canada. By the way , what
has become of our old friend , Dr. Gush
ing ? _
THE now rate of transient newspaper
postage will meet with universal approv
al. The law now provides that the rate
of postage on newspapers and poriodica
publications of the second class , when
sent by others than the publisher or news
agent , shall bo ono cent for each four
ounces , or fractional part thereof , and
shall bo fully prepaid by postage-stamps
( ifllxcd to said matter. This is n reduc
tion of fifty per cont. Almost
any eight-page paper , by the old rate ,
would require two cents postage and the
annoyance to business mon , and the
public generally toafllx sufliclont stamps
and yet not lese too largo a sum by over
payment has been very great. A news <
paper , when the postage vras not fully
prepaid , invariably found its way into the
postoflico wastu basket and knowing this
fact the Bender of a newspaper which ho
was especially anxious should roach its
destination always had to prefix sufllciont
postage stamps to insure its delivery. It
was not like a letter which is sent so long
as ono rate of postage is paid. The news
paper must bo prepaid in full or it does
not go. Under the now rates almost any
newspaper including n good sized supple
ment , mny bo sent for ono rato. The
next reform most called for is the re
duction of the limit of weight on letters
from half an ounce for ono rate to on
ounco. "While the bulk of the letters
carried in the mails average loss than
half an ounce each , now and then ono Is
encountered that weighs more than that
limit , and an extra charge is collected ,
which with the time consumed and labor
required in affixing "duo" stamps , etc. ,
docs not yield enough revenue to make
it profitable to the department , and it
would bo to the advantage of all concerned -
corned were the limit extended.
Mil. GHA11LU8 FltANOKS ADAMS lias
been elected president of the Union Pa
cific railroad and with his accession the
era of jobbery and reckless plundering of
stockholders and patrons , which charac
terized the Gould and Dillon reign is
likely to como to an end. Mr. Adams is
a man of the highest integrity , and his
reputation warrants the belief that the
now management moans a wholesale re
form in the conduct of the road and the
treatment of its patrons. It. is to bo
hoped also that the advent of Mr. Adams
marks an epoch In the political history of
Nebraska. For moro than ton yoara Ne
braska has boon a moro railroad province
of the Union Pacific. The underlings ,
inspired by Mr. Dillon's domineering
spirit , have taken it up themselves to
pack primaries and conventions and dic
tate nominations , under the pretense
that they were protecting the interest of
the rallraod company against communism
and qrangerinm. Mr. Adams has boon a
staunch opponent of bossiam in any form ,
and wohopo that ho will retire the bosses
that have boon so conspicuous in oar
politics under Sidney Dillon's dictator
ship. _ _ _ _ 1 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TUOMAH OuMHiNOS , the now city mar
shal , enters upon the discharge ) of the du
ties of the ofilco at a vary critical period ,
Having never boon connected with the
police ho finds himself in charge of thirty
policomonwho naturally look to their
chief to enforce discipline and lay out
their work. It will take Mr. Cummings
at least two or three months to become
fully familiar with the peculiar duties of
the varied ordinances which ho is ex
pected to enforce , On the other hand
tho'cUizona of Omaha , who have boon
impatient for a change and desired to
BOO the lawless clement weeded out , will
expect to BOO the now marshal proceed
vigorously with his now broom. With
all his honest intentions and his knowl
edge of the demands of the public Mar
shal Oummings has a very difiiault task
baforo him , especially in view of the fact
that ho is a subordinate of the mayor ,
who is ono of the most "occontrio" mon
in Omaha. The DEIS will give marshal
mtninns all the sympathy and support
at ita command no long as ho and oavora
o do his duty fearlessly and impartially.
OMAHA , although disgraced by her
mayor and marshal , is receiving duo
credit for the stops she has taken towards
a wholesome reform in municipal affaire ,
and is setting a good example to other
cities that are cursed with corrupt ofli-
cials , The Chicago JVawi says ;
The grand jury at Omaha has made a
good beginning by indicting the mayor
and city marshal for bribery and perjury ,
these oflhora having , as is alleged , ro-
celvod bribes from keepers of gambling
houses and oihor illegal institutions
which' they have protected. If the Chicago
cage grand jury would look in the
right direction once in a wltilo it would
doubtless find oilicors of the law who
make moro than the amounts of their sal
aries every year by levying this kind of
" ilaokmail on iniquity.
PowUBii-iiouHB explosions are now becoming -
coming about as frequent as the exp lo
ons of coal oil stoves , Omaha , Danvor
md Salt Like have had powder-housos
lown up , and now Akron , Ohio , has had
uoh an explosion , killing ono boy , and
njuriug several others. It will ba ro-
momlorod that the Omaha explosion
killed f our boys , Too rauoh care cannot
oxorclsod in guarding against such ac
cidents , Our powder-houses are located
oo near the city , and too close to each
other. They ought to bo moved to a
safer distance , and each one protected by
n high board fence that will keep intruders
dors off the premises.
N01 VERY LIKELY.
The story that the Burlington is
anxious to purchase the Union Pacific is
not very plausible. The Burlington now
reaches almost every important town in
the west that is reached by the Union
Pacific. It laps the Union Pacific at
Columbus , Central City , Grand Island ,
and Kearney , and is within easy reach ol
the great cattle ranges of western and
northern Nebraska. It has its direct
line to Denver , and by the Rio Grande il
has a connection with Utah and Califor
nia. The Burlington is a prosperous ant
well-managed system of railroad ,
and it is not at all likely
that it will ever connect itself in
any woy with the Union Pacific and thus
load iUolf down with the enor
mous dobta of that road and the
ill will of the people of the states
and territories through which the Union
Pacific runs. The Union Pacific's business -
ness has boon ruined by compo'titivo
transcontinental lines , with which its
through business is poolod. The Union
Pacific is like n squeezed lemon. All
the juice ha : boon squeezed out of it by
Jay Gould and other railroad wrcckera ,
who have burdened it with all sorts of
non paying systems and schemes which
liavo virtually swamped it. The only ob
ject that the Burlington could have in
jotting control of the Union Pacific
would bo to crcato a monopoly of local
traflic. Should any such thing happen
as a grand consolidation of the railroads
west of the Missouri , the state and na-
ional legislatures would have to regulate
ho traflic as the people would not Bubrn.it
o such gigantic monopoly with extortionate -
ate rates as the main object of'tho com
bination.

WEST Of ZIIJ3 MISSOURI.
There are several important railroad
mprovomonta in progress in Omaha and
vicinity at the present timo. The Bolt
Jino road has boon extended several in
ches on the north side and is now across
Sixteenth strottt. On the south side
several miles are being uradcd through
the valley south nnd west of tho.Summlt ,
as well as the connection with the now
stuck yards. The graders are under can-
rue t to complete the work by July 1st.
Che Union Pacific is also laying n second
.rack from the Summit to Gilmore to ho-
oommcdato its increasing business. It
will doubtless bo extended to Papillion
f not to Valley Station at fan early day
to inauro the safety of its own as well as
: ho traffic of the Hopublican Yalloy and
Missouri Pacific roads , The treasurer of
: lui B. & M. is paying out hard cash in
argo amounts for the property condemn-
} d for right away for the stock yards
branch and Ashland extension. The
Daemon property on Tenth street
alone cost § 17,000 , nnd at that rate it mil
require $100,000 or moro to got out of
the city , not speak of the cost of grading ,
which will moro than equal the cost of
the land. The company has also con
tracted for the atone to b&llcst thn track
botwcon this city and Oroapolis and is
constructing a second track from the
Junction to Plattsmuuth , The cost of
the rock and ballasting the road is about
$4000 a mile. A largo stretch of side
truck has boon put in at Bellevue to
facilitate the passage of trains. The
largo business done on the Omaha stub
warrants every possible improvement to
make it first-clans and capable of high
speed. There are ton passenger train ; )
ever the road each day besides a number
} f freight trains , and the growth of the
business will keep pace with the growth
of the country.
The people of Plattsmouth are agitating
the question of a now depot to take the
place of the tumble-down tinder box
which disgraces tlio railroad and the
river front in that city. A committee
lias boon appointed by the city council
to conlor with Superintendent lloldrcgo
of the B. & M. and find out ivlmt in
ducements , if any , are necessary to secure
the desired improvement. The Journal
says the city would bo willing to condemn
domn , purchase and give to the compa
ny a largo strip of ground to enlarge
its yard , if it shows proper disposition
to gtvo the city a boost , It is a well
known fact , says The Journal , that il
any great amount of work is ever dona
by the railroad company in this city they
will tiood moro room , as ono of their pre
sent greatest inconveniences is lack ol
yard room , aud this atrip of property
ought to provo a seductive bait. A good
crop this year in Nebraska will make il
necessary for the enmpiny to have much
moro room for thnii fn l ht yards In this
city , as it is thought that the traffic of
the company will bo much larger than
over boforo. It will have the additional
facility of n double track from Plaits-
mouth to Oreapolis , but that will not as
sist them in getting trains across the
river. The prime object of the move is to
flocuro n now depot , and perhaps got
the freight transfer again located In this
city.
Spooking of now depots THE BEE has
always claimed and ( till claims that
Omaha is entitled to a better depot
building and oaior approaches than the
prcaont consumptive covering of empti
ness of the U , P. , and the stilted sheds
of the B. & M. There Is not a town
from Sioux City to St. Louis which has
boon treated so miserly by the railroads
as Omaha. The city and county have
given princely donations in lands and
bonds to railroad companies , yet not ono
of them has built a depot in keeping
with the growth nnd commercial im
portance of the city. Other cities with
less than half the business of Omaha liavo
bcon favored with substantial and ele
gant depot accommodations , in most
cases without a public bonus. At St. Jos
eph , Atchison , Loavonworth and Kansas
City the railroads have combined and
built union depots. Why a similar plan
cannot bo adoptrdinthis city ii duo to nar
row jealousies and an imaginary conflict
of interests. A union depot would provo
not only a convenience to tbo traveling
public but a great saving in the expenses
of the companies. Instead of the pres
ent Unsightly OXCUJPH for donola , the U.
P. , B. & M. , and Missouri Pacific ought
to combine and form a depot company ,
each take an equal share of the stock ,
build commodious quarters on the pres
ent sites , pay an.equal share of the ex
penses Of maintaining them , and allow
all roads so desiring to enter it on the
aimo footing. This would do away with
unnocossaryjtickofagonts , baggage-smash
ors and drummers and give the city a
depot , in size and appearance , commen
surate with its growing importance.
Oakland , Neb , is ono of the few towns
in the state that never lacks a subject to
keep its name conspicewous in the public
prints. Blessed with a press never short
of breath to blow its praiacs to the four
winds , the town has become the metro
polis of North Nebraska in its own esti
mation. It combines all the wickedness
and itrtuo that go to make its name and
fame the ottvy of rival towns. The latest -
test boost to the town is the Nebraska
Central road , which seems to have made
it the initial point on the Missouri rivor. .
But wo givo'tho Inndcpondont room to
toll the story in its own way :
Wo learn from reliable authority that
on Tuesday , A. E. Wells , treasurer of
the Nebraska Central rathoad company ,
received a draft on a London , England
bank for § 1,000,000 , ton per cent , of the
entire capital , which will go to the con
struction of that roac1 , which begins im
mediately. On Tuesday the directors of
that road held a meeting in the parlors oi
tlonard & Wells bank. As a result of
ihoso proceedings the surveying will bo-
; in and vro expect to BCD dirt ilying

thnro is no humbug about it , as several

The citizens of Brownvillo have decid
ed to sink a few hundred dollars in a coal
prospect hole in that vicinity. A thous
and foot bora is estimated to cost § 2,250 ,
and many of the citizens have been in
duced by Illinois experts , to bollovo that
"favorable indications" abound in Noma-
ia county. The outlook , judged by ox-
icritnonts in other portions of the state ,
does not warrant great hopes of success.
The Seward county bore , which started
with a flourisha few months ago , has not
aeon hoard of for weeks. Ditto the Paw
nee county coal mine , and that immense
"vein" in the recently opened Otoo reser
vation. Possibly the local press have
lost all interest in the work nnd fail to
keep the people posted on the progress of
the boros. The importance of the expe
riment to the entire statu deserve moro
attention than they have received , and
ovcry oilort to solve , o fuel question
should bo encouraged m every possible
way.
way.The Grancror urges the business mon of
Brownvillo and the wealthy farmers of
of . the county to assist in defraying
the expenses of the test. The
"wholp county is interested. Coal
found in any locality aottloj the question
for the whole county. If co&l can bo
found at Brownvillo it can be found else
where in the county. If coal is found ,
the state will pay most , if not all the ex
penses if no coal is found , then the
matter is settled forever , and wo need
not expend any moro money in searching
lioro and there , or indulge in any specu
lations on that subject. Lot the matter

importance of the discovery to Nomaha

The business mon of Laramie city and
the stock mon of Albany county , Wyom
ing , have organized a company for the
purpose of securing1 control , by purchase
from the Union Pacific railroad , of most
if not all the land owned by the com-
psny in the county. Thisia a movement of
viul importance to the people named.
Heretofore the railroad land has boon the
common grazing ground of all , but now
that it is in the market and huge parcels
of it already sold , the cattle mon as well
as the business interests of Laramie real ,

pany organized has a capital stock of ? ! , -
000,000,80 that owners of largo and
small ranges can subscribe and secure
pro rata a share in the purchased land ,
The best of this laud is along the Lara-
raie river and it is regarded as very fer
tile. The railroad had odors from out
side parties for its entire possessions on
the plains , but being desirous that boiu
Ddo settlers should have the first right to

A committee of prominent citizens were

rho fourth overland line to the Pacific
coast was opened for business on the Oth
inst. The completion of the Atlantic
andPadific road , with the exception of a
bridge ever the Cobrado river , gives St.
Louis her first direct connection with
California and brings her several hun
dred miles nearer the commercial metro
polis of the Pacific. The completion of
the road was put back about two years
by the combination made by the Control
Pacific managers , by which the road ob
tained a per cent of through traflio on
condition that the road should stop at the
Colorado river. The schema proved
penny wise and found foolish and the
owners soon robollcd and pushed the
road through the mountains to the
coast.
The completion of this road is no * likely -
ly to give the shippers of California the
desired relief from the domination of the
Central Pacific railroad. The fact is
that there are too many roads for the
business of the state , and all of them
must , as a measure of self preservation ,
combiilo to keep up the tariff. It will
bo a repetition of the experience of the
Northern Pacific , which for a week 01
two after its completion , promised groaj
bcncfita and fair treatment by the busi
ness men of San Francisco. A bonus o !
half n million dollars a year , however ,
induced it to pull in its horns at Port
land , leaving the Central Pacific master
of the field.

The Chicago platform-makers stole
democratic thunder in their declaration
regarding unearned railroad land grants
and they came ever to the democratic
side to borrow an idea when they incorporated
poratod in the platform the expression of
their opposition to the holding of largo
tracts ot land in America by foreigners.
The loading republican sentiment of the
east is moro English than American , and
it would never have occurred to eastern
anglomanlao republicanism to utter a
word against British land-grabbing if
western democracy had not prompted it.
The subject is an unpleasant one , but it
is top important not to bo noticed. Any
restrictions of any kind against foreigners
are repugnant to the traditions and
precedents of American legislation.
Nevertheless , it is the part
of common sense for every nation to con
sider its practical interests as moro valu
able than sentiments and theories , and
there is no nation in the world which
would permit within its limits the move
ment which ia now going on in our limits
the absorption of vast bodies of land by
citizens of foreign powots. It has been
but : i few years since the fashion began of
carving small principalities out from the
public lands of this country ; the movement
mont haa barely begun , yet already hun <
dreds of millions of acres have bcon sot
aside for themselves by syndicates , cor
porationa , noblemen and millionaires who
owe allegienco to and claim protection
from foreign monarchic governments.
It is bad onongh to see lands by the
the hundred million acres absorbed by
our own corporations. But there is nt least
the consolation that the gain represented
by their increased value goes to our own
citizens and is hold hero to add to the
Bum of our wealth. But to go a step
Farther nnd to allow foreigners to hold
thcao lands at nominal prices until they
increase tenfold in value , to have pur
citizens to buy back at increased prices
lands which have increased in value sole
ly through their energy and enterprise ,
is asking too much from human nature.
It cannot to { permitted. Fortueatuly it
is not hard to prevent it. Capital is
timid and sensitive. Capitalists are con
stitutionally opposed to investing money
anywhere beyond the ocean. The mere
dread of hostile legislation is ordinarily
sufficient to deter them from investing.
\Vo may expect the democratic conven
tion to express the opinion iu oven more
emphatic language and then American
ands will lose a largo charge of their at
tractions for foreign investors. If legisla
tion is needed , it will be quite easy to
secure it.
