OMAHA DAILY BEE-THURSDAY JULY 3 1884. HE CURB AND CROWN , Jifflcnlly Between the City Engl and the Board of Pnblic Worts Adjusted , ewater's ' Plan Adopted by the Oity Council , My a Vote of 1O to 2. the meeting of the city council las ing , to which property owners on am street were invited to attend for jSTpurposo of expressing their opinions iTlho crojm and curb of that atrootnlltho Members were present. There was ; eod representation of the property on lower Farnam street by its owners. jJTho council first took up the regular order of business. A communication from the marshal , stating the number o liquor dealers in the city , was road am referred. The contract and bond of Timothy Ry : h , for grading west Farnam street , was presented to. the council and after some Animated discussion they were finally ap proved. The council then went into a commit- ; oo of the whole , with W. Y. Bochcl In the chair , for the consideration of the oct which had called thorn together. , lJU\James Croighton on being called upon to give his views , rose and stated that ho proposed to settle this matter in the board of public works with the city ongincor and ho had called a mooting of the boardforthat purpose , but thocityon- ginoor had thought lit to como before the city council and make his complaints thai Iho board wished to have a certain crown carried out. Ho now thought it be hooved the city engineer to say what voy ho wanted to have that crown. Mr. Andrew Bosowator , the city engi neer , then made a statement , in the course of which ho said the question toorood to bo raised as to whether or not the board of public works had adopted iny particular plan for the form of the intersection of Farnam street , the only Question agreed upon was the crown of ho street. Mr. Gallagher , the secretary f the board of public works , had told lim that ho did not know that the quos- lon of thn intersection was settled. Mr. Gallagher being called for explained liat ho had mot the city engineer arid ad discussed the matter , nnd as ho un- erstood it the only question raised'fat lie board meeting WAS the depth of the rown of the street. It was supposed by lim at the time that the intersection was o bothc same aatho balance oi the street. Mr. Rosewater , resuming , said that raa the only thing settled and if they had ny other evidence to show that the form f intersection was settled hpjwanted ecords produced. Ho then read the allowing telegrams received from engi- eers of various largo cities , among which ere the following : From Capt. Green , n charge of the public works at Wash ington which said , "No cross gutters on Pennsylvania avenue or any other street whore s wor facilities are lacking. " From "t. Lauis , "No , only as a last resort- fl no other moans to got rid of the ilus wotor can bo found. Your po- 'ion ' is correct. In no case should the 'ator bo led across the streets at inter actions where by any possibility it can bo lisposed of in any outlet or in the corner if the street. Our practice is the shortest oute to the sewer in every case. " From incinnati : " Gutters do not cross street .ftrsoctions where sewers are laid. " Detroit : " nutters do not cross tred\intorsections in Detroit. " From Ihicag6 : "Gutters do not cross street iterseotions. " jHolpresumod that this -would bo ac- epted as testimony in favoi of his plan , ind ho supposed it would not bp denied hat the engineers of these cities were ixperts. The same system is now in use the cities of London , Paris and in dearly all the largo towns In the United States. jiTho speaker then explained at consider able length the desirability of this method of curbing and crowning , which was of too technical n tiaturn to be of interest to o general public. lie did not rely up on hia own knowledge simply in this patter but ho quoted the authorities if engineers who had spent : oars in studying this matter , thought that the bonid of publio vorks , which had only boon in existence tout two years , had no right to- como in " ere with the assumption of wisdom at is greater than that of the engineers [ of Europe and of the United States. If o city had an incompetent engineer , ho [ should bo discharged and another put iu his placo. What was the actual case with the board of public works ? Ho would say that ono of them did not know land could not name ono-third of the pub lic works going on in this city , and ho 'efiod them to name one-half of the pub- are going on. Mr. Creighton , after eulogizing Mr. ilosewator , whom ho described as a young man of ability and industry and worthy of the position ho hold in this community , wont on to say that ho was not going to traduce him now , turned round and abused in strong terms. Ho , delivered a somewhat tedious dia- iortation on curbing and crowning which ho enlivened by calling on Mr. Barker to read a remarkable petition which had been pretty generally signed by the prop erty owners , but who had done so , it subsequently transpired , without know ing Ita contents. ft ( Mr. Barker followed , and after assort ing that he had attended all the regular meetings of the board and many others , gave his opinion on the subject. 1 Judge Lytlo aroao and made a few remarks - marks In which ho said Farnam street should not bo made subordinate to the other streets and wanted to * know wherein the ' difloronco lay between Mr. Itosowator and Mr. Creighton. Mr. llosowater explained that the dif ference was this , that ho did not pro pose to carry any gutters straight down across any streets , but to empty the gutters - tors at intortectionH. Mr. Ma * Myor thought that as they had a city ongincor and ho la competent , this . /fatter should bo loft to him. What tinted was perfect street. He thought a great disgrace. Mr. E. Ilosewater then made a few re ts as an interested party , but took ' "itock in the idea of business men or property owners giving ndvico to the fil on questions of this kind. r. R. Kitchen , C. F. floodraur , Her- TKouutzo and assistant city engineer MI also expressed their views gener- fcoramendinp ; the engineer on his feed j-ln. The cfwcilnicn ther f presented their Ideas on the question Mr. Furay said ho had visited every city of importance in the Union having pavcc atreota , and ho could not recall ono where the gutters were catriod acrosa the inter sections. The committee then arose The following report was tlran adoptee by n vote of ton to two , Ford and Hod field voting in the negative. "Mr. President , your committee of the whole who had under consideration the matter of curb and crown of Farnam street , after having fully discussed the matter and hoard the arguments of the board of public works , the city engineer and all parties desirous of stating their views in the matter respectfully recom mend that the ideas of the city engineer , as regards the construction of the gutter and crown of Farunm street and at the intersections , bo adopted.W. . W. F. BKCUKI , . " After the transaction of business ol minor importance , the council adjourned. THE NEW ENXJINE "HOUSES , Two Itrnnchcn to bo Added to tlio Flro Department tit South Oinaun. The now engine house , with whoso erection Firo.Chiof Butler was author ized by the city council on last Tuesday night to proceed , will bo the finest build- lug of the kind in Omaha. The plan adopted by Mr. Butler will make it thirty-four by sixty-six feet. It will bo n two story structure , built of brick and located on the south-oast corner oi Eleventh and Dorcas streets on a lol now owned by the city. ' The building will bo used for some time as a hose house simply , in which two or three paid men will bo employee by the city , and its proposed proportions , which , at present , scorn large , have been agreed upon to moot the demands of the future growth of the city. Iho front part of the upper story will bo used for sleeping apartments for the firemen. In the roar will bo n commodious hall which can bo used by the public for meetings , otc. otc.Tho The work will all bo done by the fire joys , and will bo begun next week. The building will bo completed within ninety days , and cost the city about $3,000. A similar house will also bo built somewhere near the head of St. Mary's avenue , so soon a's the city can purchase a lot upon which to , erect it. Criminal Statistics ; .

The president h.-xs vctoci } the Fitz John Porter bill. Attorney Guncrnl Browetor Bubinlttcil to the president to-ilny iu compliance with the lattcr'rt request , n long mul carefully prepared opinion upon the bill for tlio restoration of Fitz John Torter to tlio army , in which ho expresses the opinion that the bill in clearly , unconstitutional. Ho B.IJH in part : "A bill Imposing , or nttomplniR to ini- pose upon the preaulent a ilutv to appoint n person designatedtlioroln , \\ithont nny imp- port in the constitution. It is an Bsuin | > tloii of implied power which la not based aponuny expressed power , and clearly _ Invades 'ho con stitutional rights of the president. Congress has no right to enact ns n law that which \\ill bo inetTcctunl.lt cannot onnctrulvisoorcouusvl. It must make laws that are rules of action , not expressions of will , that may or may not bo followed. If this bill bo an iiijunction.com- inandlnp the president to appoint , it is an usurpation , and if it bo only counsel , it in without the essential element of the law , and congress can enact nothing but that which is to have full vigor and effect of law. But again , the bill is subject to objection upon tbu ground that congress thereby in effect creates in office only upon condition that it is tu bo illed by a particular individual named. If .his principle were adopted generally in the creation of officers , it would obviously result u constraining the appointing power to accept .he condition imposed , and all their oilicca yith individuals designated by congress , thus rustrating their design of the constitution , which is that a officer must bo nlono selected according to thu judgment and will of the liar- eon and body in whom the powers of nomina- ions , advice and consent and appointment are vested. " WASHINOTON , July 2. The president this if teruoon returned the Ktz John Vortor bill iO congress with his objections. Ho take ) the amo view as the attorney-general regarding he unconstttutlonality of the bill , and says : There are other causes that deter mo from living this bill the sanction of my approval. Dho judgment of the court martial by which , nero than twenty y"oarH since , General 1'itz fohn Porter was triinl and convicted , wasprx- lounced by a tribunal composed of nine Ron- ral ofliceru of distinguished character mid ability. Its investigatipn'of the charges hen t found the accused guilty , won thorough and ousctuntious and its findings and sentence , iu ; ho duo course of law , was approved by Abr.i- mm Lincoln , president of the United States , ts legal competency , its jurisdiction of the iccused nud of the subjects of the accusation , lie subitantial'regularity of all its proceed- ngs are matters which have cover been irought in question. Its judgment , therefore , s final and conclusive in its character. The upremo court of the United States has ro- outly declared that a court martial , such as his was , is the organism provided by law md clothed with duty and a minister of jus- ice in this class of cns s. Its judgment , when pprovcd , rests on tlio same basis and Bur- ouudcd by the same considerations vhich gives conclusivonesa to the judgment f other tribunals , including ns well the lowest nd the highest. It follows accordingly , that when a lawfully onetituted court-martial has duly declared ; s findings and its sentence , mid has been uly approved , neither the president nor con- jress has any power to upset them. The ox- stcnce of such power is not openly asserted , or perhaps is it necessarily implied in the irovisions of the bill , which is before mo. Jut when its enacting clauses are read in the light of the recitals of Its preamble , it will bo seen that it seeks in effect a practical annul ment of the findings and sentence of n compe tent court-martial. A conclusion nt variance with these findings lias been reached after an investigation by a board of three * officers of the army. This board was not created in pursuance of any statutory authority , and was powerless to compel the attendance of wit nesses or to pronounce a judgment which could bo lawfully enforced. Thu officers who composed it , in their report to the scciotary of war , dated .March 19th , 1870 , stats that , in their opinion , "Justice requires * * nuch action ns may bo necessary to annul and set abide the findings and suntonco of the court martial in the case of Major General Kit/ John Porter , and to restore bim'to the position of which their sentence deprived him , such re- btoration to take effect from the date of his di miHSnl from office. The provisions of the bill now under consid eration are avowedly liasod on the assumption that the findinpH of the court martial have been discovered to bo erroneous. ISut it will bo bornu in mind that the investigation which is claimed to have resulted in thin discovery was miulo many yours after the oveut to which these findings related , and under cir- ctiinst.incc'8 that made it impo mblo toiepro- duce tbo evidence on which they woralusHtl. It Hecms to mu that the proposed legitlatiou wouldestabllHh a dangerous precedent , calcu lated to imperil In no small measure , the bind ing force and effect of the judgments of vari ous tribunals established under our constitu- iion nnd lawt > . I have already , in the exorcise of the power with which the president is vested , remitted the continuing penalty that niudo it impossible sible- for I'ltz John Porter to hold an office of tmst or profit under the government of the United .States , lint I mn unwilling to jrivn my Kanction to any legislation which uliall practically annul and t > ut at naught the solemn and deliberate conclusions of thu tri bunal by which ho was convicted , and of the president by whom its fmdlngu wore examined and approved , Signed , OlIEHTKll A.

It is odd that while the democrats ot this coast claiming that their party ia th Simon-puro anti-monopoly organization the Bourbon loaders in the cast are do ng everything in their power to nntng oiuzo the rnti-monopoly Bontimont. li Ohio/riiurman. n pronounced nntl-mou opallst was oholvod and 1'ayno , the chio of the odloua Standard Oil monopoly was sent to the United States Sonati in hio stead and ia spoken of ns on oligi able candidate for the presidency. Cleveland land , another favorite candidate vetoed a bill to reduce the faro on the olovatoc railroads of Now York city , to five cents on the grounds that it would not moo the approval of the monopolists. Ho declared that his conscience would no ! pormlUhim to approve a mcoauro whicf would porhnpa cut down the receipts ol the elevated railroads to such an extent that they would not bo nblo to earn 10 porcunt on the stock , the amount which they were entitled by law lo earn. While ha was so considerate of the rights of the stockholders ho totally ignored the fnot that those same elevated railroad stocks had boon sub * jectcd to a most extraordinary watering , which made 10 per cent on the diluted stock equal to at least 25 per cent on the original output. It is dillioult to say how much Cleveland's consideration for Sam uel J. Tildou had to do with his position. That great idol of the democracy was one of tlio gentlemen engaged in the watering business , his manipulation of the Metro politan Elevated railway being about as discreditable as any of the numerous rail road wrecking enterprises engineered by him during hiH extended career. Indeed a study of the Hat of aspirants for tlio presidency in tlio democratic party must prove very discouraging to the radical anti-monopolist , for very little hope of reformation is hold out by any of them. Stephen J. Field , who has boon so heart ily denounced by the democratic state convention of O.Uifornmis by comparison with Tildon , Cleveland , Bayard or Payne a very trustworthy man. Turning from individuals , lot us review the position of the national house of representatives. Mr. Iloagan , of Texas , IMS had before that body , in which the democrats have a strong working major ity , an act to regulate commerce Dotwoon tlio states , lias it boon made a party measure and put through ? By no moans. It is so strongly antagonized by demo crats that it has absolutely no show of becoming n law. Democratic congress men are as hopelessly divided on the luostion as the democratic senators at Sacramento were divided upon the meas ures submitted to the legislature for ictlon at the extra suasion by Governor Stonomaii. \Vhilo it is the fashion for Bourbon irators to denounce the republican party is the monopoly purty , it is nevertheless true that that party as a national party is Lho first to formulate ) a platform in which tlio doctrine of legislative control of rail roads is clearly sot forth. Two of the strongest planks in the platform are these : 1-1 Thb regulation of commerce with foreign nations and between the ataten is ouo of the most important prerogative ) ! of Iho eonoral jovornment , and the republican party distinct- y announces Ita purpose to support such Icg- slstlon as will fully and efficiently carry V > ut die constitutional power of congrcm over in- ; er-stato commerce. The principle of the public regulation of railroad corporations \ a wise and ( military mo for the protection of all classes of the poo- ; > lo,9and wo favor legislation that will prevent in just discrimination and excessive chargou 'or transportation , and that shall secure to the > ooplo and the railways nllko the fair and xmal protection of the IUWH. Wo expect to see these declarations re iterated in the republican state platform iud wo trust that the conventions of the party will have the siigiicity to select men rho will not make a mockery of them.
