\VILL TUB BEE or the Herald inform
us if it bo true that Charles II. Brown is
an open and avowed woman suffragist ?
Omaha Republican.
THE BEE has nothing to conceal in this
campaign. Mr. Brown was in favor of
woman suffrage tire years ago , when ho
was elected to the otato senate by a ma
jority of about 2,000 in a county that
fjavo over 3,000 majority against woman
suffrage. That issue is not up nt prea-
cnt , but if it wore , the Republican ,
V
which has been a warm supporter of wo
man suffrage , is the last paper that ought
I to find fault with Sir. Brown. But
where was Mr. Weaver nbout that time ?
Ask Cloia Bewick Oolby. She will prob
ably enlighten you concerning Mr. Wca
ver'o mothodii.
THE hue and cry raised in certain
quarters against what the chronic grumb
lers and moss-backs call "tho barbarous
dertruction" of shade trees , shrubbery ,
and lawns , proceeds from sheer ignorance ,
inalico , nnd lack of common sonso. On
the ono hand wo have an idiotic self-
styled ' 'journalist , " who expects by
raising the wind to enlarge the inoagro
subscription list oi the Republican , and
on the other hand a sot of sneaks who
want to assail the city engineer under
the cloak of indignant tax
payers , when as a matter of fact
most of them do not own a foot of
property in Omaha. Every well inform
ed person knows that the city engineer
docs not establish grades nor change
grades. IIo simply draws profiles , under
the direction of the council. As a rule
the council decides how much cutting or
filling there is to bo upon the streets to
bo improved , and the engineer supervises
the work laid out for him. This very
often con 11 icto with his recommendations ,
but in Omaha as in all other
cities the engineer carries out
the orders of the city council.
Omaha was oripinally laid out with
streets 100 foot wide , nnd for the most
part the original town eUo was n treeless
prairio. Moro than twenty years ago
property owners were granted the right
to fence in fourteen foot tf the street on
condition that they would plant shade
trees within the enclosure. The original
schema was to allow this extension
during n period of eight or ton years , by
which time it was expected the trues
would require no further protection.
Many of the property owners took it in
their heads to annex the fourteen foot to
their lota h&caueo the streets were wide
enough anyway. They did not content
themselves with treo-planting , but they
used this extra ground for lawns and
shrubbery. Many of them built their
houses in the street , or allowed their
porches to project on the aide-
walk. Sorao lota were fenced
.fourteen feet into the street ,
others only twelve , and still
others only ton. Quito a nnmbor had
their fences on the street line. The trees
planted to shadotho streets were in irreg
ular linen , and had become an obstruc
tion to travel. Projecting limbs and
trees in the middle of the sidewalks made
it dangerous for people in dark and
stormy nights to use the walks. It became -
came necessary for the public conveni
ence and safety to remove
all obstructions , whether they
were trees , ahrubs , or lawns ,
This may appear barbarous for the time
baing , but it will in the end raako Omaha
a baautiiul city. Bhado trees planted
now on the proper line , and to the estab
lished gride , will in a few years replace
those that have been removed. Wo can't
rauko fish of ono and llcah of another.
If our streets'ara to bo fit for travel they
must be uniform. In some cases the
grading may bo premature and oxcomivo ,
but under the law no tax can bo collected
unices the street Is graded to the full
width. Whatever inconvenience may
arise is only temporary. If Omnha is to
bo a oily in fact es well as in name wo
must have uniform sidewalks and possible
jtrooto ,

Two years ngo the BEE called attention
to the peculiar resolution which was in
ioctcd into the republican platform by
Charles II. Gore , who has boon a defender
or and silent partner of public Uneven
and jobbers over since wo have knowi
tiira. That resolution commended Glenn
Kendall's ' board in its efforts to got a
revenue from the leasing of the public
school landn. Gore was simply the
pliant tool of the school land ring , whicl
was then already organized "for busi
tiosa" nnd operating in various counties
ill over the state. As good n ropubli-
: an as Hon. Loaudor Gerard , of Colum-

jonrd of public lands may deceive some
people , but these who take time
md trouble to examine it will
igroo with a that it
lees not tn any way exonerate the board.
First and foremost It is n statement
nado by partiea who are interested in

act that Kondnll on n salary of 81,800 a

'oars , and clerks in hia oillco are reputed
o have made from $5,000 to § 20,000
ach in school land speculation. Accord-
ng to the tabular statement the board
IBS leased over 800,000 acres of school
and. It is notorious that largo blocks

How did this man acquire thcso sshool

lorn vnlloye'f It waa by connivance with
Ilonn Kendall , and at leant n majority
f the board , who gave him and other
peculators inside of the ring , the option

Why did not Governor Dawos and the

osing of the school lauds that is display
d by Mr. Baum , Mr. Sheldon , and other
nsldo members of the ring ? They ad-
orlised their lands extensively , inviting

isk ia all candor why did Governor

ilerks , who prepared that tabulated elate ,

jrazcn falsehood by their own figures ,
The way they figura cut ? 1,80 for leased

Tiih the leased lands. As no school

atod in the older sections of'tho state
nnd were disposed of ycara ngo to th
highest bidder by the county treasurers

lands sold with the 800,000 ncrc

LAIRD AS A PRE-EMPTOR.
When the state press twelve months
ago made the exposure "of the Stinking
Water pro-omption frauds , Congressman
Laird came to the front nftor some weeks
delay with what hia Hastings henchman
called n vindication. Six solid columns
of bombast nnd billingagato were ex-
londcd by the Daniel Wobator of the
second district in trying to explain hia
disreputable connection with Simon Kol-
oy and hia gang of ranch-jumpers. Thia
so-called vindication wna of course taken
or whnt It wna worth , These who

The marvelous development of cooperation -
oration in England ia strikingly exhibited
in n letter from the United States consul
at Bristol , Mr. L. A. Lithrop , to the
stnto department. There are two sys
tems practised ono in which the ordi
nary retail price for goods ia charged ,
and n share of tlio protits of the business
credited to the customer ; the ether , in
which goods are sold below the usual
price , nnd the share holders nlono got
the profit. The former is the system
followed in the manufacturing diatricts
among working people ; the ether ia ouo
that provnlla in London chiefly. There
nro many co-operative stores in the manu
facturing districts. The usual price for
goods Is charged , any ono , whether a
share holder or not can purchase
at thorn. The profits nro de
clared quarterly nnd if they
nmount to , say 10 per cent. , each
customer ia credited with that percentage
in the gross amount of his purchases. If
ho has bought $20 worth of goods ho re
ceives n credit of $2 ; if $100 worth ho re
ceives n crodlt of § 10. Ho Is allowed to
draw nil his profits except $5 which is
retained , nnd entitles him to ono share.
If ho chooses to allow all his credits to
romaiii and accumulate , ho receives 5 per
cent intoroai on them. The accumula
tions are slow but they count in the
couso of years , na thia example will
show : A member of the Manchester nnd
Salford Equitable Society who joined
and paid hia $5 In 18(30 ( , drew out down
to 187 ! ) $200 as profits , and still hnd
§ 160 loft to his croditmaklng a sav
ing of $428 in the nineteen years.
This saving waa affected without an
effort to do it , being simply dividends on
his purchases of goods nt the usual prico.
The working people's co-operative stores
in the manufacturing districts have com
bined and established a largo wholesale
house at Manchester , managed on the
same principle , nnd through which they
receive thuir supply of groceries , dry
goods , boots and shoos , hard\varo , meats ,
irovis'iona , and , in short , everything
needed in n household or shop. The
mien of this central IIOUBQ amount to
? 15,000,000 ft year. Jt Controls the
iroducts of mills and factories , chartoro
. 'osaols , and carries on n largo importing
ni3inosall to aupply its nuxilinry stores.
These auxilary stores number COO , with
320,000 memberships. It ia a rule with
auxiliary stores to sot apart 2 per cent
of their profits as an educational fund for
: ho cntabltnhinoiit of permanent reading
rooms and aoci&ng scientific loctunta.
The London stores , conducted on the
irinclplo of reduced prices for goods and
iiviaion of the protits among the sharo-
loldors only , hnd their beginning in a
combination of a small number of post-
office clorka to purchase a half cheat of
.en at wholesale price , and divide it
among themselves. Out of this little ox-
lorhnont has grown a business whoso an
nual sales foot up $10,000,000 , which
extends to all parts of the world , and
which has brought about important mod-
ficatioil in the entire retail trade of the

few York Times.
The death of John W. Garrett , of the
Jaltiraoro and Ohio railroad , brings up
n amusing reminiscence. Garrett and
Harry McOomb , of Credit Mobilier fame ,
were fast friends , though often on the
ppoalto aide of the fence in railroad pro-
oots. McOomb used to stop at the
fifth Avenue hotel , while Garrett di-
idod hia time between the Brovort and
lie Brnniwlck. Some where along about
880 or 1884 the Delaware legislature had
inally consented to charter a rail- line
croaa its territory , placing n short cut
within reach of the Baltimore and Ohio
lirough to Philadelphia without obeisance
o the Pennsylvania. But the now
barter was in McOomb's hands. The
'cnnsylvania people were cooing at his
ilbow. Whispers from Baltimore way
md to bo most appealing. So Pros-
dent John W , Garrett journeyed over to
oo McOomb. The old gentleman pro-
loaod to talk business to McComb for ull
10 wan worth nnd brldgn over , if pretty
iroposttiona could do it , a little dill'eronct ;
if a million or so. John W , got into
Tow York two or thrco hours ahead of
imo. IIo was in n inuainc ; mood nnd
ot too proud to wnlk. Up Broadway ho
auntored leisurely , bound for the Bruns
wick , whcro ho was to turn on the flood-
a'.cs of hia eloquence. Ho waa just op-
> osito the Fifth avenue , when along by
lia side strolled a robust , clean-ahavon ,
uiilini ; man , looking enough like Mo-
lomb to bo his twin. The magnate from
taltimore did not hesUato. Out went
ia hand with a greeting moro cordial
lan Manhattan iihnd had witnessed in
fortnight. Something like an exprcs *
ou cf uitonlehmeiit lame over the face
' tha new arrival , but Mr. Garrett
swept on in his protestations of joy at the
meeting.
"Wo will run risht over to the Brun ]
wick and lunch , ' \ ho ejaculated. U |
friend didn't object. To the Brunswick
thojr wont , and they dined in n princely
fashion for p.n hour or moro. Right nlong
had the fascinating ncconts of Mr .Gar-
rott flown. 11 o had no acairo to rush di
rectly to business. Enough for the mo
ment wna it to tell nil nbout how ha loved
Col. McComb , nnd what gracious things
ho hoped some time to do for him. And
the colonel , lisped lie nothing. Insilouc
ho nto nnd in ailcnco ho drank ; only th
sparkle of an appreciative eye told how
ho enjoyed the good things of thia lifo n
the Baltimore & Ohio's president wa
a bio to dispense them. "
"How long do yon remain in I ho city I
quoth Mr. John W. Garrott.
Champagne had evidently bubbled u
into the region of the colonol'a brain.
'Im d dashed if I know. " wna th
rather inarticulate response of the ma
who for the first time had broken silence
"I'm d d dashed if I know. Fao' is
old mnn , fao , ia , I'm just back from th
island to-day , nnd lifo is n little , juat
little , kind o' shaky for n follow whei
Cap'n Williams is down on him. "
Mr. John W. Garrett stared.
Then his companion wanted to clim
up on the table and make n speech. A
lackey interfered. For the first lim
Mr. Garrett gave a searching look int
hia companions countenance. Then th
only rcason ho didn't faint waa bccaus
ho didn't know how. There are times i
this lifo .whon even railroad prcsidonl
ahow n little feeling. Tin's waa ono o
those timoa for Mr. John W. Garrett , o
the Baltimore & Ohio. Ho waa on th
verge of saying something right to th
point'lu. an iucsiiyo Maryland waywhen
now face pcarod in at the dlmng-root
door. And this now face was the fnco o
the real Col. McCoirb the face of a ma
who enjoyed n good joke , nnd was not a
aseptic na to refuse n few condiment
while ho promised not to dwell too often
upon some of the embarrassments of tru
goodnojs in a wicked world.
And to the day of his death I thin !
Col. Henry McComb waa a little wornoi
because this second edition of hi ins o !
waa in circulation. On a railroad train
ono day , when ho iraa in a good hume
over the success of ono of his fumncia
strokes , ho told mo the story himself.
"But it's rather tough , " ho said , "t
think that you'vo got a double , particv
larly when you discover that the doubl
is n West-side sharper and a bunk
man. "
I never hoard it imimated that Mr
Garrett was employing missionaries to ro
tall his little experiences. "
