COUNCILMAN JOIIN B. FUBAY la not likely to crawl into a mouse halo because Dr. Miller threatona to mop the floor with him , politically speaking. TUB paved streets and olloys of Omaha i v il are now kept clean , but the nnpaved [ alleys tra in a very bad oondiHon , owing to a long accnmnlition of filth. They should bo cleaned at once. WE arc constantly receiving communi cations that arc not signed with the nanioB of the writer * . Suoh communica tions will receive no attention at our hands. Wo must know the nome of the writer of every letter that la intended for publication. SENATOR VAN WYCK'S urgent romon atranco against the further continuance of fences on the public domain has al ready had the desired effect. The general - oral land commissioner has ordered the United States district attorneys to insti tute ejectment suits against all parties violating the now anti-fence law , -which la a big improvement on the law in that It Is'moro stringent and enables the gov ernment to proaecuto a suit to the end in ranch shorter tlmo. Mn. WYMAN left so muchmonoy in the treasury under a republican system of jobbing tariff and other forma of tcxa- tion that it will take throe weeks to count it. Ilernld. One would think that It was discredit able in Mr. Wyman to have loft any money in tno treasury. The last demo cratic accrotary of the treasury , Howell Oobb , boasted in a public speech within twenty days after he got out of office that there was no money In the treasury for the Liner Inites , and that ho did not try to have any there for them. THE Herald Ukes notice of a plot which connects itself with a certain jn- diclal proceeding to defeat Mayor Boyd'a appointments. Mr. District Attorney Estollo will probably govern himself ac- cordlnRly. Herald. Wherein does any plot , whether real or imaginsr/ , connect the judicial proceed ings In our courts with the proceedings of our city council in dealing with Mayor Boyd'a appointments. la not this an at tempt to bnll-doza and intimidate mem bers of the council ? This thing of hold ing a club over the hoadi of men Is a dangerous experiment. THE Herald servos notice upon Dis trict Attorney Eatello that ho must bting to trial certain particawho woio indictee for malfeasance in office. If this was done simply In the interest of good gov ernment and without inallco wo ahonlc cheerfully join in the request. It la duo to the men who wore indicted , na well as to the city , that they should have a speedy and fair trial. There has already been too much spite-work and too much political chicanery In connection with this matter. Oar courts of justice shoulc not bo turned Into partisan mills to grim out political grist for or against anybody IT so happened that when the build ings fell In Now York recently , a bll was pending before the legislature on the ( subject of building , which was framed to meet the approval of associations of mo chanlca , societies of muster builder * , and the building department of the city , am had been well considered by the men moat competent to pass upon it. The bill enters into mlnuta details as to how buildings shall be contracted , and leaves very little to the discretion of Inspectors This is BB It ought to be , and when the legislature hoard of the cruh in New York city the bill was at onca taken up for consideration and promptly pamd by the senate. TUB Iowa editors have accepted an in viUtlon from the Union P clQo to take an extended exonnion trip in June over that road and the Oregon Short Lino. Mr. Rhetoric Olatkson , of the Das Molnes Register , baa aeon fit to Issue an address to his brother icribblera In order to Impress them with his own importance and to convey the Idea that ho haa had a big hand in planning th.a junketing tour and securing the free transportation. He t lla them that this is an opportunity of an igo , and that It should be accepted with gratitude. Rhetoric Olatkson Is evidently trying to harmonize the dis cordant elements among the Iowa editon. , It occara to ui , If that is the object , he better begin with Frank Button , GOVERNOR DAWES'DUTY. Two months have nearly patsod away since the legislature adjourned , Gover nor Dawoi haa had ample time to act upon the auflnestlonaof thatbody wherever they are in the interest cf the public welfare. It was his manifest duty to carry out whatever recommendations have boon made by the legislature with regard to the public officers under his control , and it was coitiinly his obvious duty to remove every officer wh has boon found wanting In fidelity to the pub lic iutcrocs and the trusts reposed in him. One of the state Institutions that needs careful and honest supervision is the pen- itontnty. A commlttoa of the senate , of which Senator Ayora , of Casa county , was the chairman , made a thorough In quiry into the conduct of the penlton * tary , and presented a report which should have boon acted upon by the executive without delay , According to the report of that committee Warden Nobos has systematically robbed the state by pre senting fraudulent vonohora and appro priating to his own use property or which the tax-paycra have been ro- [ tilrod to pay out of the penitentiary undo. It was charged , and the charges were uuatahisd by ample evidence , that 10 had purchased furnltnra at various iniOB and from various firms which ho > laced In hla opera house at York , and made use of elsewhere. There were vahtabl a dotks , tables , chalrg , and other office furniture for which the state his no use in any ploso. Aside from this it was BIO shown that Mr. Nobcs had pre- ented to succeeding legislatures claims or board and supplies which were fraud ulent in every particular. It does not nutt ier whether the legislature found him out and refused to appropriate the money asked for , auffico it to say that an at- empt was made by this officer to procure money under fatso protonaes and hla con duct has boon so scandalous with regard .0 . purchases that ho certainly should nol lave boon retained any longer tbau hia services were absolutely nojessary. Why ; hen has Governor Dawoa failed to re place him with an honest and efficient officer ? Mr. Noboa ia not the only man n America fit to bo warden of the Nebraska penitentiary. There inns 30 a few other men In aomo sections o ; ho country willing and able to nerve Nebraska braska In that capacity. There may oven bo found men in Nebraska who are suf ficiently competent and trustworthy to this position. Wo have said nothing about this matter because we had reason to believe that a change would be made In duo tlmo , but two months ought to have boon long enough ta enable the jovernor to find a successor to Warden Nobes. "CITIZENS" tickets " , "Anti-Monopoly1 tickets , and all other forms of persona and political clap-trap have had a frcsl illustration in the election of a triplet o "citizens" candidates of the city conncl who are understood to have entered into a tort of political freemasonry to proven Mayor Boyd from giving Omaha hones and efficient government. We shall take an open hand in this game on the part o men who have the shameless audacity to override the ono lesuo upon which over ; one of them was elected. Herald , Wo know it all along. Wo did not bo Hove that the Herald was sincere las fall when it supported anti-monoply fusion ; and ita support of the citizens ticket this spring waa Inspired by no sic oerc/aeaird / for reform. Scratch a RUB aian and you will catch a Tartar. Now that the citizens' dodge haa served It purpose as a decoy for gullible republi cans , Dr. Miller repudiates the ' citizens. ' To whom dooa the Herald refer when i talks of a triplet of "citizen" councilmen who have entered Into a plot to dcfea Mayor Boyd'a efforts to give Omaha honest and efficient government ? Ther are four members of the city council whos naiuea were on the citizens' ticket. Two of those. Dally and Sehroodor , are demo crats. Haa Dally or Schroeder joined In a plot to stop the ' democrat ! wheel of reform ? Mr. Goodman who la a republican , was ale on the workingmon'a ticket. Ho wonlc bavo baon elected without the endorse ment of the "citizens. " Mr. Bailey la ropublhan. Ho did not solicit the aup port of any other party , waa pledged t no particular couraa or policy , and wa not in the city when the election too place. So far there haa boon no occaslo for blustering threats and partisan abuse The council has simply pursued th ordinary courao of business In refoirln the mayor's appointments to the appro prlato committees. If any of thcao ap pointmonta have been made for the pur pose of giving Omaha honest and effic ! ont government they are not likely t meet with obstruction , but if they ar made for the purpose of building up demo cratlo bosslsm in Omaha they will doubt Ion bo rejected. If any of the mayor' appointees are jmowu to be unfit to fil iho placet to which they have boor nominated , no good citizen of any part ; ; wonld desire to hare them confirmed. RxrunncH are proverbially , ungrateful and ropnbllca'rui have often shown a lac' of gratitude , but It takes a democrat tc exhibit unadulterated hoggUhneaa. Her Is Fred. Behm , for Instance , who workci teeth and toe-nail aide by aide with Haa call for Boyd and victory. Now Mr Boyd'a organ opens ita mud batterie upon him and calls upon the district at torney to have him prosecuted , conviotec and turned out of the council , because h his dared to vote with the republicans In the matter of referring Boyd'a appoint menta to the appropriate ccmmltteei. THE capital of We t Virginia la to b moved from Wheeling to Charleston , the place where John Brown waa hung am hla aoul Bent marching on. Thla remova cannot prove otherwise than damaglnj to the interests of Wheeling for sevora years at least. For ten ye&ra the state uthorltiea have occupied a handsome capltol building at WhcoUng , which was reeled by that city and presented to the tate , The question of capltol removal waa voted on In 1870 , there being three ontcstants , Charleston , Martlnsbnrg and larksbnrg , the first-named place se aring the prize. Wheeling put n no claim In consideration of the sent of ovoromcnt being allowed to remain here until 1885. The now capltol mllding at Charleston , which was begun iy the state In 1871) ) , immediately after ho election , Is not yet completed , but nevertheless the records will bo removed o that place , beginning to-day. Wheel- ng will use her abandoned capitol > aildng ! as a city hall. GOVEUNOH SHERMAN , of Iowa , has is- mod a cattle quarantine proclamation against Connecticut , Now York , Now Jersey , Pennsylvania , Maryland , Vlr- Inla , Weat Virginia , Dolewaro , Ken lucky , Tennosoe , Illinois and Missouri. So cattle from these states will bo per mitted to enter Iowa unless accompanied jy a certificate of health from the state votrlnaty surgeon of the state from which hey may come. Iowa ranks first among .ho cattle-producing states , and the pre caution taken by the governor is not only timely but justlQablo. The gov ernor of Nebraska would do well follow hla example , and make other > roparationa [ at once to strictly enforce ho now cattle-ditoBBo law which waa passed by the last legislature when It ; oos Into effect , which will bo In Juno , tfow la the tlmo for the governor to look around and find a compotout man for atato veterinarian. The now law provides a salary of $2,500 for auch officer , anc that amount of money ought to secure a first-class veterinarian. The governor should alao determine who shall compose the sanitary commiislon , which Is to con slat of throe cattle-raisers actually on aged in the business. THE Chicago Herald aaya that the war threatoninga In Europe have caused a stampede of emigrants toward America Wo do not think , however , that the war bhreatonings have been BO much the cause of the stampede aa the recent sale of ono hundred thousand tickets at ono dollar each by the Pennsylvania railroai from New York to Chicago. These tickets were at once snapped up by the steamship companies , as the della ticket from Now York to Chicago enable ) them to make a very low rote frcm Eu rope to the Interior points of the Unltei States. The fact that an emigrant coul < be carried from Liverpool to Chicago fo $8 50 , and from Liverpool to St. Paul o Minneapolis for § 10.00 wast extensive ! ; advertised In Europe , and there was no difficulty In finding a hundred thousand persona to take advantage of this oppor tunlly , the like of which will probabl ; never bo offered again , and would no have been given now had it not been fc the western rail toad war of a few month ago. It ia the cheap transportation mor than anything else that causes the proson stampede of emigrants from Europe. A NEW use has been found for elec trlclty. It has been demonstrated to be a very effective preventive of crime. Th London EleclnG lievicw calls attention to the statement recently made by th police cf the city of Hartford that th electric lights have been the meana o greatly lessoning their labors by dlmln lahing the commission of crime. For in stance , In a public park , where a groa deal of crime and mischief had been per pttrated , the misdeeds of the night hav decreased fully ninety per cent since th illumination of the park with elcctrl lamps. To serve moat effectively as preventive of crime the electric light soya the Now York Herald , should b Introduced not so extensively in tb great thoioughfares of the city as in th outlying and suburban districts , whic have less police protection. THE office-seekers from the tcrrltoiie who have made Washington their head quarters since the 4th of March are a last beginning to get tired , and one b ono they are taking Mr. Cleveland's ac vice to go home and stay there. The are becoming disgusted with the slow neaBoftho administration in supplyln them with offices , and they fear that th pretident will not after all atlck vor close to the text of both the ropubllca and democratlo platforms In regard t filling terrltoral positions with citizens o the territories. Ho has already departo from this proposed plan in two or thro instances. TUB engagement that waa expected t take place between the Ruisian corvett and the British war-vessel , lying in Nor folk harbor , upon the declaration of war la declared off. The Russian oorvotto which was much the im ll r vesse quietly pulled out o ! the harbor before daylight on Wednesday morning , he destination balng unknown , Her com mander probably became convlncad tba the declaration of war waa near at hand and very likely he cam * to the conclusion that hla vessel waa no match for th Britisher. TUB only way for Mayor Boyd to con duct a successful administration of th city's affairs la to Ignore all the sll ! vaporlugs of such fool friends aa th Omaha Herald. In city affairs th council shares th * responsibility with th mayor , and that body should be treatec with courtesy. Nothing can bo galnei by threats and bluster , or by uncalled-fo abate , WIIBN the work cf burying the wire In New York wa about to begin Mr Field feared that the opening of tronchc wcnld have a damaging effect on th public health. The only persona tha have been affected BO far are Moists Hold and Gould. It was probably the xpontojp the undertaking that made icm slok , CI.AUKSON , of DCS Molnes , la still arplng about St. John , If It had not eon for St , John , Mr , Clark on would lave remained a very obscure man , but ho extensive advertising that ho haa Ivcn himself has made him known out- Ido of Iowa. Ho worked the St. John asinois for all that was in It. THE journals oi Russia can hardly bo called newspapers. They have been for bidden to publish any reforcnco to cur rent evonta In Asia. Under the circum stances Russian editors will probably de vote themselves to agricultural matters during the coming summer. the Afghans can take care ol .homtclvos . , and will not nocd the aid of iho Eng'idu So fir they have shown that they understand the art of war ai neil as the Russians. INTEKNAL revenue collectors breathe easier now that It is pretty generally un derstood that no removals are likely to 30 made until after July 1st. OUR NEW COUNTIES. NORTH BEND , April 29.
