Titx Omaha Telephone company ob- oorvca Arbor Dy all the year round by planting poles all over the city. NEXT Monday will be Grant's alxty- thJrd birthday. It looks now an If the old commander would lire to celebrate it. TUB lat of May will bo moving day in Omaha. The principal city offices will bo moved on that day Into thb now court honso. "IT citi ba aot down as dead certain , " aald a prominent democrat , "that if wo had eight members of the city council wo would have a democratic clerk. No re publican would have a ghost of a show. " IT is very moan tor the Republican to support Jamoa E. Boyd , member of the ( national domooratlo committee , and then -kick up a racket about Mr. Jowott , who jlms never oven served on a city campaign committee. IK view of the faci that the board of trade intends to take possession of ita lot , at the southwest corner of Farnam and thirteenth stnots , at an early day , the fire department should make arrange ments to move into now quarters. TUB largo quantity of mud washed down from the hillside by the heavy rains ought to convince any one of the Immo- dhto necessity of extending the p vo- monts up the hill. Unless this is done every rainstorm will float more or less mud upon the pivomonti. Every street that Is paved as far west aa Sixteenth should be extended to the top of Oapltol hill. This would not only prevent a flow of mud , but it would glvo ua a vol ume of water that would thoroughly cleanse the pavements bolow. ONE of the first questions to bo consid ered by the city authorities Is what are wo going to do for a station house ? The jail In the old court house hu been used for that purpose , but that will soon have to be vacated , and some place must bo provided for city prisoner * under tem porary arrest. As a city , Omaha must sooner or later have a patrol wagon and a station house , and perhaps several station houses , It is not necessary that the station house ahould bo next door to the police court if there is a patrol wogon to convoy prisoners who do not fool like walking. "SKCUETAUY MANKIND evidently know "what ho was doing when he made Hlg- glns chief appointment clerk of the treas ury department. For the democratic spoilS'liuntora ho Is the light man In the right place. As was to bo expected , he has found numerous loop-holes In the civil service law. Ho is said to have al ready prepared a list of 4,000 , names of moitongers , laborers , copyists and other .persons who do not technically como within the civil service rules , and who , therefore , must go. Wo are told that the "national democracy" expects Hig gles to do his duty. Well , uv coorse. EVKUV day shows the neceulty of sooner or later establishing n uniform ayatomjof sidewalks throughout the city. Sidewalks are parts of the public streets , and should bo entirely under the control of the olty. There Is only one way by which uniform , cheap , durable sidewalks can be secured , and tint is by having them all laid by the city under contrast , and having the abutting property taxed pro-rata. Such sidewalks as are alroidj built of durable material would not o courao be affected. Whether such an important change could bo made undo : the present charter Is problematical. I would ba well for the council , however to investigate the matter and see wha can bo done. It acorns to us that if thi council has the power to lay sldowalki on the streets where the property owner do not lay them , It should also hvro th power to put down walks where th property owners fall to use the prope material. We have magnlBcont atroel and wretched sidewalks , and the coutrai la altogether too great , while the Inooi venlence la simply unendurable. It la great deal more ploisant and comfortab' at present to walk In the middle of th ttteots , greinhorn fashion , than it Is 1 ; ooo the tide walks. Another Importar change that should ] bo made without di Jay Is to Improve the crossings on tl utroots paved with the rough tiloux Fal granite. Flat atopes In two or thn TOWS , should be put down for cross-wall ou the grantto streets. REV. DIl. J. P. NEWMAN. Wo published from some aonrco a day or two alnco an article clipped from some paper stating that Dr. Newman and wife had beoomo spiritualists , but nt the same time wo doubted the correctness of the report. The Now York C7 ris < ian Advocate , the loading Mothodlat paper In the coun try , in its lost issue , states that the doctor has boon ro-admlttod us a member of the Now York annual conference of the M. E. church by an overwhelming , vote. This is the position that ho occupied bo- fora ho was chosen as pastor of the Mad ison Avenue Congregational church. By the rnles of the Mothodlat church ho could only bo employed by his own church while ho was a member of an an nual conference , and to supply the Mad ison avenue church ho was compelled to locate and become what Is technically called a "local preacher" by that church. Hla reinstatement In that largo and very respectable body is fnll proof that ho has given no assent to the modern doctrines and beliefs of spiritualism , as the Meth odist church ia totally oppoaed to all those ao-colled manifestations of spiritu alism. Dr. No wman has a world-wide reputa tion as ono of the most oithodox and elo quent divines in the country , and if ho had so strangely changed his views the Information would oomo from a much more reliable source , and would bo a bar to his admlaslrn to the commission of almost any Evangelical church , The friendship of Gen. Grant and Dr. Newman man Is of many years standing and when hope of recovery had almost gone Dr. Newman was among the first from Cali fornia summoned to his bedside , and ho has boon a constant attendant over since. During the presidency of Gen. Grant and while Dr. Newman was pastor of the Metropolitan church and chaplain to the senate the Intimacy began. Gon. Grant was often hoard to say that the moat n- joyahlo hour of the week was that In which ho was listening to the great preacher In theMetropolltan ohurcb. When Dr. Newman supplied the Madlsoa avenue Congregational church Gon. Grant and family wore constant attend ants , but they now worship In the Cen tral Methodist church. Dr. Newman is too well known tlironghout the country to have a change llko this come In his religious belief without comment In the great religious centers of the churches. Wo are informed that as soon as his health Is fully restored ho will again find employment in some of the promi nent metropolitan churches in his de nomination. TUB chances for the etcapo of crimi nals In those days are very slim compared to what they were before the telegraphs and submarine cables came into use. This is well Illustrated in the case of Maxwell , the murderer of Proller in St. Louis. It is pretty certain that Maxwell is on his way to Auckland , Now Zealand , by steamer. If ho does not stop at Hon olulu , a dispatch will head him off at his point of destination. If he ia still on board of the steamer when she lands at Auckland , about May lat , he will walk Into the arms of the officers of the law. The course of the dispatch that will thus lead to his arrest will bo from St. Louis to New York , thence by cable to Valontla , Ireland. From Valentin it will cross Ireland , pass under St. George's channel by cable , be repeated to London , and thence by cable lng to Lisbon , Portugal. A cable un der the Mediterranean next carries It to the island of Malta , and another sub marine line convoys It to Alexandria , Egypt. It then goes overland to Suez , and by cable under the Red sea to Aden , In Arabia. Another cable takes It to Bombay , India. Thence it goes to Pe- naog , in the Malay peninsula , once moro by cable to the island of Java , from which place by cable again It roaches Port Dar win , in North Australia. Crossing Aus tralia to Sidney , it goes through the South Pacific cable to Wellington , New Zealand , whence a land line carries It to Auckland. The dispatch , at the rate of $3 34 a word , will necessarily cost several hundred dollars If a fnll description of Maxwell Is given. It will bo soon that there la now hardly a place on the face of the oaith where a fugitive criminal cannot be reached by electricity. TIIE Knights of Labor evidently do not propose to allow the anti-foreign contract labor law to become a dead lot- tor. They have been on the alert to detect any attempted violations and have just discovered four steeraxo passengers from Antwerpwhom'they snapeotjof being imported as workmen under a contract. Those workmen , who are glass blowers and engravers on glass , wore bound for the glass-works a < Kent , Ohio , where a strike Is In progress gross , but they denied that they wen under contract or had been guaranteed employment. Nevertheless the windov glass workers' association of Plttsburj intends to make a test caae regardinj these four men , and will carry It to th < highest courta In order to put an end ti the Importation of cheap labor nnde contract. It la a question , however whether the Knights of Labor are we ! o advised In taking this case to the court * These men ara skilled mechanics , and t r la very doubtful whether they como unde the provision of the anti-contract law which wta intended to prevent the 1m portatiou of cheap labor. WHAT has become of our building 01 dlntncel In cities where there ia building Inspection department no utruc tnre can ba put up without a permit , an violations of the ordinance are severe ! 10 punished. It strikes us that It lahlghtlm la 'that our ordinance ahonld bo enforcet It la not Intended only for the par pose < 1 having rafo bulMlnga erected and kooj , ng frame structures and fire-trapa out cf the fire limits , but also for the purpose of keeping a record of the number , char acter , cost and location of the buildings that are put up each year. This is very Important Information , especially In a growing oily llko Omaha. It Is n matter of public intoroat , and It should no longer bo loft to the enterprise of private parties to make up such records each year. Wo ought to bo able any day to ascertain by simply calling on the city clerk how many buildings have been begun In each week or month of the year , together with other facts , such aa coat , material , Iccatitn and ownership. A QRKAT deal of pressure is being brought to bear on thb commlisionor of Internal revenue to remove republican collectors and apodal agents of the de portment. Their places are much sought after , but they will not bo removed Im mediately. In the first place the May collections for the quarter of the present fiscal year are now nearly duo , and hence any change In collectors would bo unwise and unbusinesslike , as their bonds cover all such translations and security to the government might bo risked by the appointment of now men at this time. As to the power of the commissioner or the secretary of the treasury to make removal of collectors the , attorney-gen eral has decided that this class does not como within the tenure of oflico act. Special agents the commissioner deems moro Important than collectors. The present force Is composed of exports , whoso places it will bo difficult to fill with competent men. Hence they will have to bo removed very gradually. In all probability it will bo a year or moro bo * fore they can all bo replaced with demo crats. THE republican party Is not troubled ao much with the care of the colored brother as it was while It had the federal patronage in its hands. ' The hankering for office is just as strong among the blacks M among the whites , and the spoils-hnntero among the oolcrod people are now trying to make their peace with Mr. Cleveland. These colored pap suck ers who were continually growling at the republican party for not moro liberally providing them with offices , will now have an opportunity to too irhat the dem ocrats will do for them. We trust , how ever , that among the colored brethren there are men who have honor and man hood enough not to forget that it was the republican party that enabled the negro to become a free aud Independent Ameri can citizen. THE'telephone has once moro demon strated its usefulness. The Qn'Appelle River Farming Company , in Canada , which hss a farm of 13,000 acres under cultivation , has a telephone coveting its propoity. The manager directs the di visional foramen by telephone at their ospectivo stations , and the foremen send dally reports to the central station. 'his ' system renders the management of ho 13,000 aero farm as easy aa If It only onsisted of thirteen acres. MONTANA ought to bo converted into mo grand blooming flower garden , If all ho seeds that ex-Delogato Maglnnis has lent to hU constituents are planted. Mr. Maglnnis Is still in Washington , and Jthough It Is reliably stated that his irinclpal business there is to capture the Montana governorship , he emphatically snorts that hla only object in remaining hero so long Is to see that his constitu- mts do not got left on seeds. RED OLODD has not scalped any one or so long that ho is anxious to try his and at it once moro to see whether ho as forgotten his old trade. Ho is very nxlous to experiment on Dr. McGllll- tiddy. If ho can only scalp the doctor o will ba fully rationed. The doctor is robably prepared to stitch it on again. PENNSYLVANIA celebrated her fint Arbor Day on Thursday last. The city nd county officials , park commissioners , oad overseers , and other officers all over , ho state planted trees. The children of ho public schools also took on actlvo art in the ceremonies. The planting-of rces by the school children has ovolvea great deal of pootlo sentiment. THE Illinois legislature has declined with thanks an invitation to vliit the Now Orleans exposition. It was a deep- aid schema on the part of the exposition managers to secure a fresh exhibit for the iloslng days of the big show. The 1111- nolslans may bo called suckers , but they were not suckers enough to hito at that bait. _ _ . - . WJIENEVEU a Denver editor runs short of ideas ho grinds out an article on "sil ver coinage. " There is something rad ically wrong with a Denver editor when ho can not turn out a column on that subject. THE department librarians at Wash Ington are not protected by the civil ser vice rules , and are therefore on the anx lous seat. Too much "book larnln" will not do under the democratic admin Istration. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THE recent building catastrophe it New York has suggested to the building Inspectors that they have a duty to per form. They have reported seven unaafi bnlldlngf , since the accident of a fev days go. TUB New York morning Journal lslo < to remtrk that "Grant's doctors are hot ter , and on the high road to recovery. ' The announcement will be pleasing new to the friends of the doctors.

When thousands if acres of waving grain , big potatoes , yellow orn , and eacculent Rrneu are to be ceen in tend of the sun-dried plains , the future poe ibilltles of Wyoming sustaining herself and ending food abroad will ba realized.

They had no work to do , end nthered at the station to chat aud chow ml learn of the movemonta of trains , 'he cnly atore in the station chanced to jo In the operator's cilice , and ao they warmed In thoro. They occupied all the Jialre , nnd the tubles , and then carried n soap and cracker boxes to alt npon. 'hoy wore BO thick that the agent nnd the porator conldn't get around to attend to ho fire , couldn't gei to hla desk to work t his reports , and only with difficulty ould ho hoar the ticking of his instru- nent. Some of thoao In the crowd were radcamen to whom the operator owed jilla , obhors were merchants who wonld , ake their ahipping to the other road If 10 ofibnded them and the father of ila girl waa there. Therefore , ho didn't Iko to ask directly for an tvvcuatlon of lie place. It happened that in the out- klrta of'tho little town was an Imbecile aylnm , and a dlspnto arising aa to the orrect rocoid of temperature , the auggos.

The operator consented , , nd with a > twinkle In hla eya and aamilo jpon bis face began pounding his sender.

That waj one of tbi finest examples of keen perceptions tha I ever heard cf. Wonderful , wasn't It The Koal Pauper Iinfoorcr. Mr. Ji Schoenhof , in Now York Evening Post. In a report on the spinners and weavers nt Ettlingcn by the consul nt Mannheim wo find 1,100 persons employed on the promise ; . Had the consul stated the amount of raw cotton consumed wo could have computed the productiveness of the help , Wo might have had an explanation why the average weekly earnings of n mill-hand are not moro than $2,16 $2,080 is given as the pay-roll ) . Stand ing by Itself the statement loaves the mprceslon that pauper labor at $2 a week ia n dangerous competitor againtt Now England labor at the nvcwgo of $5 a week , as In the consul year. But , judging from the alzo of the mill as known to mo , I do not think that an American mill of the same extent would use one-half of that number of people , and would turn out more goods Into the bargain. The great number of people employed In the cotton industry In Germany is rather startling in Its moagro results when brought In comparison with the great output cf American cotton mills. Germany's con sumption of raw cotton IB about 300,000- 000 pounds , with 250,000 returned aa employed in specific cotton industries , while Amorlct's consumption in specific cotton Industries is 760,000,000 pounds , with only 172,000 workers. Oomcating Germany's productiveness with that of Massachusetts In specific cotton Industry by the number of spindles and loomi , ind the number of hands employed in iporatlng them , wo got , the following rc- ults : Germany. Mass. Spindles 4,700,000 4,200,000 Looms 81,000 05,000 Handn employed. . . . ISO 000 018,000 Spindles to 100 hands , 2,7-10 C.7G3 Looms to 100 hands. . C2 153 According to this , 100 operatives operate "ully two and one-half times as many corns and epindlou In Massachusetts as n Germany. This showing is a sufficient ly convincing demonstration oi tbo work- n ; capacity of the two kinds ot labor , hat of the United States representing ho bo&t paid labor , and that of Germany cprosontiug , under llko working moth- da , the poorest paid labor In Europe , THE GKEA.T MAULING MATCH' Tiio Sulllvjin-Kyaii Fight "Will Not bo Permitted to Taku Plnco in Buttc. Butte Inter-Mountain. The news contained In our dlapotohoa o the effect that John L. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan had signed articles cf agree ment to tight to a finish at Butte on the 10th of Juno for $2 500 a oldo , has awak ened a good deal of discussion as to whether under the present law the fight may bo permitted here. No copy of the "aw pcsjod by the recent legislative sis- ion to prohibit this class ot amusement has yob bcon published , and its provl- lena are not yet familiar to the public. The Impression has in aomo way gene abroad that it ia a wtak piece of legisla tion in bo'h form and intention and that t can bo dodged or knocked out as easily as the great John Lj. has bcon in the liabit of upsetting his antagonlalt Con- equontly the class ( i larg * one ) lnt rest ed in seeing tbo proposed Sullivan-Ryan otto , have arrived at the conclusion that nothing will bo done toward preventing ho match coming off ai advertised. Tnis s n mistake This morning for the pnrpcso of as certaining the true Inwardness of the bill a reporter called upon Hon. Jno. F. For- bis and asked him if the anti-prize fignt- "ng bill wss big enough and old enough nd strong enough to stop'a fight between Sullivan and Ryan. 'Well , just lot t'cm try it ! " was the emphatic answer , "they'd bo landed In ; he panitentlary Inaldo of thirty daya. Not tnut I wouldn't like to ace thia cun- eat , " he added , "tha onyl one I ever olt I would llko to see. But this law is plain , pointed , imperative , and cannot bo ot around. " "What la the penalty ? " waa asked. "Tho penalty la six months in the pen- tcntlary and not moro than $5,000 fine , " replied Mr. Forbls. "There seems to'bo some question as o Its validity , and'that ' it can be stood iff , " continued the reporter. "Thoro Is no chance for that , " was the reply It Is carefully drawn , well word ed , and perfectly valid and constitutional. It Is , in fact , with but a f aw changes , a copy of the Ohio statute opan the sub- "ect , which has already stood the test. " "flow about glove fighting ? Does It merely prohibit bare knncklo aottos , or can it bu evaded by using gloves ? " "No ; it prohibits prlza fighting , wheth er bare-handed or otherwise. Gloves makes no difference. A simple contest of skill for points.would not bo included "n its prohibition , but any fight to a finish , or with the alleged purpose of fighting to a finish , comes under its ban. Sullivan and Ryan , under Its provisions , will bo liable to arrest aa soon as they como here , their purpose of fighting a prize fiuht being previously understood. Mr. Forbls interpretation of tbo law ia , of course , the correct one , and while the stopping of the proposed fight will disap point a good many people and keep a certain amount of money out of Butte , yet the only thing to bo done nnder the o'rcumstancea Is to f nforco the law. This wo are assured will be dono. So it m y bo tot down ana fact already determined that John L. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan will not fight la Butte on the 16th of next Juno. SAlLMON PISHING , Prices Obtained and Ibo Dangers Incurred. San ITranciaco Chronicle. "Thocbaucos are far moro favorable for the fishermen at the month of the Columbia river this season , " aald Frank Enoa , an intelligent Portugeto , for tbo past ten years ono of the leading eatchora of salmon at Aatoria. "Tho caanora say that they cannot afford to pay iho price of former soasons. and then cyilte a num ber of canneries will be closed down this yoar. Three years ago they used to gtvo ua 'JO cents a salmon , last year 70 cents and this year the boys will bo lucVy I they got 00 cents. The season only lasts four months from the first of Apiil to the 31at of July and the present month will cut a very light figure in the ecaaon'i catch , owing to the fact th&t It la toe old. " " Do Iho talmon fishermen make mad money ? " aiked the Chronicle reporter. "Not aa a rule , " replied the Astorlan "Oar oxpentoa are very heavy. Aside from the boat , a nnt costs $500 , If yet make it youtnolf , $300 , and there Is a constant expenditure for repairs. Then each fisK-rmau ownlcg hla own boat hate to hire a man and pay him one-third o the catch. The hoavieit catches of th season rarely exceeded 2,400 fish , and t fair average ia l.BOO. Some of the on lucky onus don't catch 500 salmon during the entire eoist n. Asa rule , the fisher man ore diialpated aod profligate , aat when the Boaaan la over nuny of thorri h vo to borrow money to p y their pa > . asgo back to San Ftanclaoo. " "How many men are engaged In nal- mon fithlng at the mouth of the Colum bia ? " "Some years back , when the aoaton was a good ono , fully 15,000 mon would bo out in their boats. In the season of 1883 , a good ono by the way , there were over 7,000 bents out ; laat year not ever 3,500. " "Aro not more lives loit each teuton than are reported ? " "A great tunny moro. 1 think It attfo p aay on on average fully lire hundred iahormon logo their lives annually at the nouth of the Columbia , Fishing ia moro dangorona there than nt any oilier point on the Pacific coast. Moat of the lives are loat In attempts to save the nota. I waa out ono day in Jnly , four yean ago , when a sudden ( quail came up , andln a winkle fully ono thontand boats were upaot. Over ono hundred fiahormon lost their lives that day. I waa out In an other terrible storm ono night laat year vhon eighty fiabermon wcra drowned. Moat of us fish nt night , for the reason that In the daytime the water ia so jloar that the salmon keep away 'rom the noU. On a bright moon * Ight night , with n calm sea , fishing [ or salmon ( a delightful cport ; but on a > .lark night , when the waves como rolling in fiercely , the vocation of tbo salmon Sahorman la dangerous beyond expres sion. I tliuk , by tbo way , that In alx ont of oyory ton casoa the drowning of a [ ishorman can bo put down to hla over indulgence In strong drink. When the aqiiftll comes ho is too much befuddled with whlaky to properly handle his boat. " MKWarAVEIl OUTFITS. TO PUBLISHERS.
