COUNCIL BLUFFERS are cordially in

This is a worse tumble , in proportion ,
than that of the Wabash , which has

CUB demand for fireworks in the

extensive this year , which shows that
the country propose to celebrate , not
withstanding the financial collapse in
Wall street.
TUB reports from all parts of our
Bister state of Iowa shows that the crops
are in splendid condition. There has
never boon a better crop prospect in that
atato , and the same can bo said of Ne
braska. These two great states ought to
produce enough corn and hogs this year
to food the world.
JOHNNY MCLEAN , of the Cincinnat1
Enquirer , may bo able to handle the
democrats of Ohio , but when ho at-
temps to manipulate the national demo
cracy , ho will imd that ho has under
taken a contract which ho cannot carry
out.
BKIDERY Is not confuted to any par
ticular locality or station. It is a taking
disoaso. The federal grand jury at
Madison , Wisconsin , has indicted Ool.
George A. Henry , a timber agent , for
receiving bribes to tlio amount of $2,000
from trcspassera. The money is naid to
have been lost at the poker-table.
THE woman suffragists can obtain some1
cool comfort , during these hot days ,
from the fact that at nft'ajoction recently
hold at Clinton , N. Y.to determine
whether water works should bo estab
lished in tha place , twenty-two women ,
Tvho are tax payers , voted. Fifteen oth
ers offered ballots , but wore not allowed
to vote , as the assessor had loft thei"
names off the tax rolls.
COUNTY offices in Colorado must bo
rather lucrative positions. According to
the Denver Tribune the annual income
of tho. officials of Arapahoe county , in
'which ' Denver is located , is under the
fee ay a torn , as follows : Sheriff $20,000 ;
clerk $22,000 ; treasurer $19,000. It is
no wonder , under such a robbery of the
tax-payers , that Arapahoe county cannot
dispose of her bonds.
IN a late number of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette wo find this para
graph : ' 'If the streets could only bo
made awoot and clean , the alloys re
lieved of garbage and the gutters and
sewers flushed , the people of Cincinnati
would bo willing to tuko their chances of
an attack of cholera. " This applies
equally as well to Omaha. The city mar
shal should at once order all the alloys ,
as well as other places whore there is an
accumulation of filth or stagnant water ,
to bo thoroughly cleaned. Even il
there was no prospect of cholera this
should bo done aa the city needs n clean
ing out at least once or twice a year.
THE sundry civil appropriations bil
which has passed the house abolishes the
fees of United States marshals and pro
Tides adequate fixed salaries for thorn ii
all parts of the country. This action , i
it becomes l w by the concurrence of the
senate and the president , removes a
moans of fraud that has boon monstrous
ly employed in not a few districts. Mar
hals will , under this bill , bo obliged to
report the foes collected by them to the
attorney general. This report must
tally with that of the clerk of the court ,
and a remittance of the amount inus
follow in thirty days or the marshal's
alary will bo withheld.
WKJITKUN cities have been liberally pro
Tided after all by congress. The sundry
civil bill which has passed the house con
tarns an appropriation of 850,000 for the
completion of the custom-house and post *
office at Kansas City ; and 855,000 fo
continuing the construction of the court-
liousaand post-oHlce at Leivonworth
960,000 for the continuation of the post
office and court-house at Peoria ; $40OOC
/or continuing the construction b
aca court-Jiouse et Q y
$40,000 for continuation of the construc
tion of the post-oflico St. Joseph ; $10-
000 for the approaches , fencing and grad
ing connected with the court-house and
post-office at Topekaj $10,000 for the
construction of a macadamized road from
Springfield , Mo. , to the National ceme
tery near that city.
O.vr. by one the millionaires , who have
raudulontly acquired their immense
wealth , are throwing up their hands and
crying enough. Iho stocks , which they
lave boon inflating , continue to have a
downward tendency , and have not yet
reached low water mark. Again comes
; ho report that 0. P. Iluntington , of the
Central Pacific , Is hard pressed , and wo
should not bo surprised to hoar at any
moment of his failure. Mrs. Colton ,
who is suing for a largo amount , pro-
IOBOS to apply for a receiver of the stocks
and bonds in custody of the Central .Pa
cific , and in her petition oho will assort
icr belief that the Control Pacific is on
ho verge of bankruptcy , on account of
reckless management , and furthermore
that a movement is on foot to send out
all stocks and bonds involved in litiga-
ion. Mrs. CV&oa probaWy knows what
she u Ulkiryvct. .

the committee of the council requested
lira to withdraw. Ho should have known
enough to know that his conduct of late
13 been such as to totally unfit him for
urthcr supervision of our city affairs.
There was nothing else for the city coun
cil to do but to act promptly and firmly ,
ilayor Chase has himself nlono to blame
or the disgrace which has overtaken
lira. Ho has been going from bad to worse
n his intemperate habits since his last
lection , and his ill-advised appointment
f Guthrie brought with it a train of cor-
uption which plunged him to depths of
nfamy from which there was no escape.
Vhon public men lese all snlf control and
> ocomo reckless of their reputation re-
ributivo disgrace is bound to overtake
mm sooner or later.
THE fences must go. The sheriff of
iio Cherokee Nation , in the Indian tor-
Itory , with n squad of Indians , is mak-
ng a raid on the wira fences which huvo
icon put up by the cattla men. The
horiffis taking down and confiscating all
pnces enclosing moro than fifty acres ,
liat being the limit allowed by the
Ihorokoo council. This procedure is
minontly proper as the cattle mon are
rospaisora upon the public domain , and
lave no right to fence it in. They have
ono it in Texas , where serious trouble
lave arisen over the matter. They aru
oing it in Wyoming and western
Nebraska. In Nebraska legal
irocoodings have boon begun
against them , which moans an indofiniot
lostjjonomont of the removal of the
oncos. The result will bo that the
lothod adopted by the Ohorokoos will
mvo to bo employed , sooner or later , by
iio white folks. The United States
marshal has the authority and power to
omovo ihoso obstructions from the
mbllo domain at any time by force , and
vo predict that oven if the cases now in
ourt should bo decided against the
ittlo mon , ho will have to bo called
upon to forcibly remove the fences , which
o might as well have done in the first'
) lace , The monopoly of largo tracts of ,
and by mon who have no title to thorn
Till not bo tolerated , especially in
Nebraska , where much of the land now
oncod in , in the western and northwos-
iOrn parts of the state , is in demand for
agricultural purposes , for which it is
adapted.
CALLING OUT 1JW MILITIA.
The folly of calling out the militia to
suppress labor troubles lias again been
demonstrated , this time in Michigan.
Ilio mon employed in the lumbering
own of Oscoda have boun receiving theii
lay in orders on the stores owned by their
employers. This system of course com-
sola the mon to trade out their wages ,
: hus giving the employers the bonoiit of
ilioir custom at outrageous profits , and
torclng employes to buy goods that per-
Imps they have no need of , in order to
jot their full pay. The employes pro
tested vigorously against this system being -
ing continued any longer , and finally
they struck. It was Immediately charged
that they were riotous and
made throats against lifo and , property.
Without waiting to satisfy himself as to
whether such was really the case , when
in fact there was really no foundation for
the charge , Governor Bogolo , in ans.
wor to an appeal from the frightened
sheriff and some of the employers , sent a
largo body of militia to the icono. Not
withstanding the fact that almost
the entire population united in a petition
showing that there was not the slightest
necessity for the presence of troops , and
asking that they bo removed , the mi
litia has boon retained at Oscoda for
several days at a heavy oxponso. How
ever , an order will probably soon bo
issued for their withdrawal.
The situation at Oacoda reminds
ono very much of the trouble
that occurred in the city of Omaha
two } years. The sheriff instead of sup
pressing the trouble , as wo bollovo ho
had the power to do , listened to the ap
peals of a few eminent but frightened
citizens , and called on the governor for
troops. The governor without waiting
to investigate the "outbreak" and learn
whether th civil authorities were pow
erless to quiet it , Edit the militia to the
front , at once , this i ritatlm , ' but not tor-
ui&ug the r/ur Juuij , uud
matters much worso. Our sheriff had
msdo no real effort to keep the peace. Ho
did not oven summons assistants to his
aid from among the citizens. Without
exorcising his power and ascertaining
what ho really would do in the promises ,
ho called upon the military. Not until
the civil power has boon overthrown
should the military bo called out. It was
no moro necessary to summon the mili
tary In Omaha two years ago than it was
in Oscoda , Michigan , a few days ago.
Not until the military arrived in Omaha
was there any actual viol once committed ,
and had not the militia put in an appear
ance the trouble would all have boon
qulotly settled.
TIIK FARNAM STREKT OU2-
11AQE.
There is no longer any use of mincing
matters in regard to Farnam street.
The board of public works is mainly re-
iponsiblo for the outrage in allowing
Farnam street to bo torn up from end to
end , and remaining in that condition for
weeks to the serious dainago of the bus-
ness mon on that thoroughfare. Travel
and traffic on that street have boon almost
entirely cut of. Mr. Hugo Murphy ,
; ho paving contractor , appears to bo wili
ng and anxious to go ahead and push the
work , but the street car company has ut-
orly failed to put on an adequate force to
ay its tracks. This company
las treated the Farnam street
folks shamefully. Instead of going upon
another street and laying down a tempo
rary track , it has boon allowed to occupy
ho north half of Farnam street with a
double track , and the north half yet re
mains yet untouched by the gradontn
This will cauao another serious delay.
Notwithstanding the privileges granted to
ho company. It has failed in ovary res-
) oct to hasten'its work , and has entirely
gnorod the business interests of the
street. What is the plain duty of the
> oard of public works' ) It is either to
compel the street car company to use
reasonable diligence or to do the work
'or it.
Something must bo done immediately ,
or there will bo a revolt onvFarnam street
; hat may causa trouble. People will
not allow their business to bo ruined
much longer. They have stoqd it for
wo months , and their patience has
) eon about exhausted. Every business
man on the street has lost hundreds and
.housands of dollars. They were willing
; o pay for the improvement of the
street , but they were not willing to
acrifico their business for a whole seas
on. Wo understand that the paving is
o bo begun at the west end of the
troot. Then why did not
, ho 'excavating begin there
nstoad of at the east end ? And why
was the whole street torn up ? Why was
not the work confined to a block at a
imo , beginning at the west end ? It has
> oona bungling job from beginning to
end ,
MUNICIPAL REFORM.
Omaha is a corporation made up of tax-
layers and property owners , and its bus-
ness ought to bo transacted in a business
way. Municipal reform has not como a
moment too soon. The work has been
begun in the right way , and wo should
not stop simply with the change of mayor
and marshal. Tnoro should bo a thorough
overhauling of the various departments
of the city , in order to ascertain if the
lusinoss is being conducted honestly and
efficiently. Every employe should bo
compelled to attend strictly to busi
ness , and every man should bo fully
qualified to perform the duties of the
plnco ho holds. The first requisites to
employment should bo honesty , compo-
.oncy , sobriety , and industry. No in-
; orosts should bo served so faithfully as
, hose of the people. It is notorious that
in many of the city departments persons
are employed who are uttorfy unfit for
the work assigned thorn. They have bo-
: omo nothing but moro pensioners upon
the public crib. It Is about time that
the system of pensioning certain persons
for political services should bo abandon
ed. In the public works department wo
find tailors , carpenters and shoo-makors
endeavoring to perform dution about
which they know absolutely nothing.
How can they know anything about work
which can bo done only by stono-masons
and brick-layers ? Yet wo have paving
inspectors who dojiot know any moro
about paving than a jack rabbit docs
about book-keeping. There men on the
police force who have neither intelligence
nor discretion , or any other necessary
quality for the important position , The
police force is mainly composed of mon
who are supposed to have aided some of
the city councilmen by their alleged poli
tical "iuflooonoo. " The same fast and
loose system of personal and political
favoritism seems to prevail in making the
appointments in all the other depart
ments.
The people of Omaha demand that , the
the rules of civil service reform bo ap
piled to our city government. Every
competent employe should bo retained
in service during good behavior , and
every drunken or incompetent employe
should bo at once dismissed , Ilomovals
should bo made for cause and appoint
ments should bo made only on account
of qualification and good behavior.
OMAHA , proposes to continue public
improvements , but she must not pay two
prices for them ,
IF there is any collusion among the
grading contractors their bids ought to bo
rejected.

The atato of Nebraska is to bo congrat
ulated upon having snch an honest ,
fcarloaa and able representative in that
stronghold of the monopolists , the Unit
ed States senate. Senator Van Wyck is
not niraid to call things by their right
names and ho is able to do it in a parlia
mentary way which can nonplus even
such a skilled parliamentary tactician as
Senator Edmunds , who last week under
took to shield the arbitrary action of the
sonnto judiciary committee in arrogating
to itself the authority of congress to roe-
ulato the relations existing between the
Union Pacific railroad company and the
government. Having' exposed this
high-handed piece of business , Senator
Vim Wyck showed that ho had every desire -
sire to givp the judiciary committee a
clmnco to right itself and withdrew the
matter , for the time being , from further
discussion. There has boon too much
star chamber committee work done at
Washington for the public good , and the
services of such representatives as Sena
tor Van Wyck in exposing them are
simply of priceless value to the commuu-
Ity. If our legislators were all like him
there would bo fewer hundred million
aires and fewer tramps throughout this
country.
XO KUN UNDER WATER
A Little uoat with Fins , nnd Bonrlnu
Torpedoes Fore and Aft.
Now York Sun.
In the boiler room of the Dolomator
Iron works , at the foot of West Thir
teenth street , a dozen men are building
an iron steamboat of peculiar design , and
have about all the plates riveted in place ,
It i& 30 foot long over all , 7 broad , and
< ) doop. The model is very sharp whore
the water is divided , while the run aft
will givojjolld water to the whool. It
looks much like substantial steam launch ,
except the side frames are carried up and
archud over the top to form the rounded
dock , which wholly covers the hold ex
cept at a round hatch in the
center. At thi hatch a well is to bo
constructed , wiUt a door in one
sidu leading into the hold. On eacli aide
of the keel enough lead will bo placed to
load the vessel to the water's cage , after
all the machinery , stores , etc , are on
board. There are a number of small
compartments which can bo filled with
water and emptied at the pleasure of the
crow , and by this moans the vessel can
bo sank to any depth below the surface.
Over the water-ballast compartments ,
on each nida and beneath Hie Hour , am n
uumbur of six inch iioit tubes which will
bo filled with compressed nir , to bo lib
erated as the air grows foul with the
boat. N
boat.Tho
The motive power is electricity , furn
ished by storage batteries which will turn
the propeller by a common dynamo. In
candescent electric lamps will furnish
light. The boat Is steered to port or
starboard by a common rudder , while a
horizontal rudder or fin on each eldo
of the stern post will olnvato or depress
the stern , and thus shove the vessel fur
ther from or nearer to the surface , inde
pendent of the action of the water bal
last pump. The inventor , Mr. J. H. L.
Tuck , says that she will attain a speed of
eight knots an hour , nnd can travel a
hundred miles with her ordinary storage
batteries. A hand crank is also fitted
for turning the propeller shaft , by which
a slow speed could DO obtained.
The well hole in the center of the boat
is fitted with an air-tight hatch , which
can bo removed from within. Any ono
of the crow wishing to go on dock when
the boat is below the surface has only to
dross In an ordinary diver's suit , with air
rubes connecting with the interior of the
boat , enter the well , close the door , grad
ually fill the well with water , and then
remove the hatch. In the well are suit
able devices for directing the man at the
wheel as well as these in charge of the
apparatus for elevating , lowering , and
propelling the boat. Whoa leaving the
well the hatch is closed , the water runs
into the water balllat compartments , and
then the man opens the door and removes
his armor.
In warfare a largo torpedo can bp at
tached to each end of the boat , with a
strong insulated wire connecting the two
together , and with an electric battery in
the boat. To apply the torpedoes to the
bottom of a ship the boat has only to run
beneath it. When directly atliwartships
under her keel , the pilot in the well hole
can loosen the torpedoes nnd allow them
to rise under the bilges of the ship. Then
ho can run his boat ahead a safe distance
and , explode the torpedoes. If desirable a
small cupola , with glass windows and [ an
electric lamp , can replace the well , and
the boat can bo operated from within.
The boat is designed to remain under
water without inconvenience to the crow
for forty eight hours , but a rubber-tubo
device will bo attached by means of which
air can bo drawn from the surface of the
water unctor ordinary circumstances. A
small mercury indicator will show the
boat's distance below the surface.
The power of storage batteries to pro
pel a yacht has been amply demonstrated
in a number of experiments , the latest of
which was on May 12. On that day
Messrs. Farron & Co. , of Poplar , En
gland , ran a forty-foot launch at a high
speed for six consecutive hours by means
of Siemnn's dynamos and Fauor-Sollon-
Volckmar batteries. As long ago as 1801 ,
FuUsntho steamboat inventor , construct
ed a submarine boat , with which ho re
mained under water over four hours. In
view of these facts , Mr. Tuck assorts
that the building of a successful subma
rine boat involves only matters of details ;
and these , ho believes , ho thoroughly un
derstands. A trial trip will ba taken In
about six weeks.

things about railroading is the discharging
of employes , when business begins to fall
oir. One sees every few days notices to
the effect that a largo numborof mon from
some shop have boon discharged , Now ,
these men have probably worked nt ono
branch of the business BO long that they
will find it almost impossible to get other
work. It has often boon suggested that ,
instead of discharging employes , the hours
of work bo Icoaonod/but it is a curious
fact that the very persons whom this
move is intended to benefit are the very
first to bccomo restless nnd dissatisfied ,
when it is resorted to. The great strikes
of 1877 undoubtedly grow out of the cut
ting down ot pay nnd hours of work of
the nhop and track hands of eastern roads.
The fotfling seemed to bo that no broad at
all was hotter than half a loaf. Each
man flatters himself that ho will not bo
the only ono to go when * a reduction of
the working force is ordered. Ho depends -
ponds upon the friendship of some section
boss , or the favor of the foreman in the
shop , to retain his position. If his head
does happen to drop , ho goes , as a rule ,
more willingly than ho vull submit to a
cut in his wages. "

"Ho was silent. His breast heaved
and ho clutched the gate with iron

"Go hence you do not love mot" she
screamed nt him. "I know you'd move
your ball and Ho about going through

Ho looked after her until the front
door slammed and then ho turned uway
