THE Saturday cl ua waked up the
Sunday bolt line anaconda nufliclcntly to
make It cross Eighteenth street.
TUK moat IntoroBtlng circus performance -

In the Illinois legislature this wcok. j
THE revised railway edition of the old
testament according to the Omaha bolt
line muugora commando the anaconda to
rest six days and then put In a whole
week's work on Sunday.
THE bait line , like the anaconda , sloops
through the winter and wakes up In the
prlng. Having crossed Eighteenth
street wo suppose the bolt line anaconda
will toke another long roat.
SECUETARY ENDICOTX will find the
Howdy West nearly as civilized as Now

TUB latest batch of now postmasters

about two years ago , and for a fresh
arrival ia doing quite troll.
THE English government proposes to
Bond a medical commission to Spain to In
vestigate the newly discovered system oi
Inoculation to prevent cholera. Our gov
ernment ought to follow suit at once. If
the discovery is really a valuable one ,
every physician In the country ought to
La afforded facilities for obtaining a
knowledge of It at an early day.
THE alleged dynamiters , Cunningham
and Burton , have boon convicted of trea
son and felony , and have boon sentenced
to panal servitude for life. Both prison-
on assorted their Innocence , and there
are many people who will doubt theli
guilt. If they were innocent , however ,
It does seem rather strange that the ;
could not provo that they had no connec
tion with the dynamlto plot. In all
probability justice has not been misled In
thta case. ' . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ -
Tin ; Donate commit too that proposes tc
investigate the Oklahoma land qucstioc
and other matters In the Indian territory
la hardly composed of the right men fci
this important work. Two of the mom
' i bars are known to bo altogether too Intl
mate and fiiendly with some of the cattle
kings who have obtained leases of vasl
tracts of land from the Indians at i
nominal rental , and It Is suspected tba'
they are interested In some of the blf
deals that havotikon place In the Indlat
territory during the lest two or throi
years. Wo venture the prediction tba
the report of that committee will bo i
whitewash affair for the benefit of thi
cattle men. An attempt will very llkel ;
bo put forth to make It appear that tb
Indians are well satisfied with the aval on
of land-leasing as well as the prlcoa paid
and that everything Is just as it ohouli
bo. .
THE Omaha Bolt Line Riilway company
ir
pany is at Its old tricks. During Satnr
day night and Sunday It put a large fore :
of "men at work In extending Its trad
across Eighteenth street. This was dente
to steal a march on the property owner
and the city in eecurlog a tight of wa ! ;
across Eighteenth street without going i
the trouble and formallly of lawfully oh
tnlnlng such privilege through the clt ;
council. The company chose Sunday fo >
this work so that no injunction from th
courts could bo obtained to atop It
There certainly ought to bo someway o
preventing corporations from vlolatinj '
law and acquiring by force what a prlvat
Individual could not take without com
milling felony. There Is no doubt whatever
over that if the belt line has any pnbll
thoroughfare to cross and the objoo
is properly explained to the city conncl
t will secure Us right of way on condi
tlons that are fair to the city and to th
railroad company , but from the beglnnlu ,
the bolt line company has shown a dlspo
eltlon to play the brigand and aelzo prop
erty that docs not belong to It and t
occupy public thoroughfares ivlthou
legal authority. It has extended it
lines on several occasions across street
either at midnight or on Sandayswhei
the courts could not be appealed to. It I
noanomoly that our courts are closed an
Inoperative on 62 days in the year , am
that upon those days corporations mi ;
commit trespass and other wrongs with
out any fear of fte law. The bolt Hn
may become a valuable auxiliary to ou

If they want any extension througl

OMAHA AS A PORT OF ENTRY. '
Omaha Is now a port of delivery , but
It should bo made a port cf entry for the
Immediate transportation of dutiable
goods. Tharo are three chases of ports.
Thoao on the seacoast are ports of entry ,
and being such they are always points of
appraisement. Those in the interior are
ports of dolivory. Then there are cer
tain cities throne hout the country known
as "I. T. " ports , for the Immediate trans
portation of dutiable goods. Now ,
whrro a lot of Imported goods como
directed to a port of delivery , which is
not an "I. T. " port , they must remain at
the port of entry until they have boon
appraised in their turn , unless there Is
some local pressure to have them appraitod
out of turn. The rrault of this naturally
is that the interior ports have their goods
greatly delayed at sea-port towns. So
far as Omaha is concerned her importing
merchants have frequently ordered goods
for the spring trade , and owing to delay
In appraisement at the port of entry
they have not boon received until midsummer -
summer , and goods ordered for the fall
trade have not reached hero until mid-
winter. Wo know of largo shipments
for the holiday trade which wore landed
In Now York In October and November ,
yet the pressure of business waa so great
as to prevent their apDrolscmont and
shipment until January or February , the
result being a actions less to the importIng -
Ing merchants. Such delays are simply
ruinous. It Is a matter that effects not
oi.ly Omaha but several other Impor
tant Interior cities , and the question
has been how to remedy the evil. In
June , 1880 , an aot was passed by congress -
gross giving the r'ght cf immediate trans
portation of dutiable goods to largo porta
of delivery throughout the Unltd States ,
and among thorn was Omaha. In this
aot there was a proviso that thoio ports
should bo made "I. T. " ports If they had
an appraisement officer who could appralao
without creating additional expense to
the government. The treasury depart
ment , however , chlmod that by reason
of this proviso it had the right to exclndo
from the "I. T. " provision any of the
ports named in the act , and acting under
this claim the secretary of the treasury
excluded nearly thirty ports , including
Omaha , from the bsnefit of Immediate
transportation.
Upon learning of this unfortunate
and unjust condition of affairs Sen
ator Manderaon set to work nearly
two years ago to Induce the treasury
department to restore Omaha as an "I.
* T. " port. The solicitor of the treasury ,
however , decided that the department
bad no such power. Thereupon Senator
Manderaon sought to remedy the matter
by legislation. Notwithstanding some
considerable opposition on the part of
eastern senators , the bill passed the sen
ate making Omaha on "I. T. " port. This
1
bill , on account of a lack of time , failed
In the house. However , In order to ob
tain the desired result , Senator Mander-
aon asked a ruling of Attorney-General
Biowstor aa to whether the treasury de.
partmont had the right to make "I. T. "
ports by execntlvo order. The attorney-
general coincided with Senator Man-
derson on this proposition , overrul
ing the solicitor of the treasury.
Tbo senator Is accordingly now
making every effort to have this order is
sued , and It la hoped that ho will succeed ,
aa it will boa great ( benefit to the mer
chants of Omaha and her neighboring
cities. The objection to Its Issuance
seems to come from Now York largely ,
for of course the result of establishing
"I. T. " porta throughout the country
' will bo to decrease the number of ap
praising officers In porta of entry. The
present system simply makes the large
cities of the west play the part of suburbs
to Now York. The Mow Yorkers claim
that we have no export appraisers , bul
this is answered by the fact that the sur
veyor of customs and his deputy coulc
make the appralecment by oiling in the
assistance of a local expert at very little
expense to decide the matter. These
appra'B3monta ' can all bo made wlthoni
placing another official here. The gov
ernment would got all that It Is entitled
i- to under the tariff acts , and the interloi
r- merchants would stand some show o
e competing with these of seaport cition.
k
LO
IN behalf of the cltlzana of Omaha we
rs
extend a hearty welcome to the eccrotar ;
of war , Mr. Endlcott. The metropolis
of Nebraska has for moro than fifteen
years boon the headquarters cf the mll-
r Itary department of the Platlo , and the
army and Hi officers have contributoi
10
10t. largely to the business and social welfare
t.
t.'S t.f f of the city. As citizens of ono commor
country wo take pride in extending the
'S
to hospitalities to a member of Prcsldonl
i- Olovoland'a cabinet , whoso position en
ablos him to become useful to this ecctloi
lo in moro ways than ono. While many ol
Jt the old cities of the east perhaps have
moro refinement and polish , Secretary
Endlcott will find Omaha possessed ol
more pluck and pnsh to the squara Inch
than In any ether city of Ita elza on the
continent.
THE cable announces the dangerous ill
nets of Victor Hugo. As ho Is ovci
eighty-two years of ago It Is not like ! ;
that ho will recover. This famoui
Frenchman , who Is universally boforct
by his countrymen , has had an oventfn
career. He received an excellent educa
tion , although spending much of thi
time of his ( youth In roving througl
France , Spain and Italy. Ho early ex
hibited a taste for literature , and deter
mined to m&ko It hta life pursuit. He
wrote and published a number of novels
and dramas between the years 1823 and
1840 , all of them meeting with great pop
ularity , as did alto two volumes of lyric
poomi. He was given the credit of ore.
atlnganew literary eohool In France ,
and upon the appearance of his poems ,
10 waa acknowledged the greatest cf Hv-
ng French poets. Louis XVIII gave him
a pension as early as 1823 , when his
literary efforts first began to attract at
tention. Louts Philippe created him a
pcor of France In 1845 , and In 1818 ho
was elected a representative of the city of
Paris both to the constitutional and the
legislative assembly. Napoleon banished
htm from Franco In 1851 , and while an
oxllo on the Island of Guernsey ho added
now laurels to his literary fame. Upon
the establishment of the republic ho re
turned to Paris , and was received with
great demonstrations cf joy by his hosts
of admiring friends. Of late yosra ho
haa lived a quiet 1 fo , and has written
nothing.
OUR SCHOOL FINANCES.
The financial sflairs of the public
school system of Omaha are In excellent
condition. Wo do not believe that there
is another city In the country that can
make a bettor showing. The board of edu
cation can not only pay off the $100,000
high school ton per cent bonds , but also
11 other indebtedness , amounting to
bout $50,000 , this year. The bonds ,
lowovor , are not duo until a year
icnco , and it Is not likely that such gilt-
dgod securities TV ill bo surrendered by
ho holders btforo they ore duo unlesi
ho fall Interest la paid them. So It will
> o soon that In ono year our public
ohool system will bo entirely free from
lobt upon Its property , which includes
ourtcon school buildings and sltea ,
amounting In value to nearly $700,000.
The gratifying condition of our school
inaccos Is duo to the high license
ystcm. This fact cannot bo
lenied , and yet there are some people
who would do away with the revenue
rom the liquor dealers simply because it
comes from such a nourca. Under the
ilgh license system the Omaha schools
now receive $134,000 a year from the
Iquor dealers. The other sources of rev
enue are the police court fines amounting
o about $25,000 , and the apportionment
and of about $20,000. The total Income
.his year will amount to nearly $200-
000. With this annual Income wo can
not only pay our current school expenses ,
) ut have a handsome surplus which can
DO used In employing moro first class
: eachers and In building substantial
school donees in answer to the demands
of the growth of the city. The time IB
not distant when this clly , with Its con
stantly Increasing school revenues will
DO able1 , without aid from the state , to
establish , In connection with the high
school , a first-class normal school for the
; rainlnc ; of our teachers. This has been
done In Cleveland , and It can bo done In
Dmahn.
A collegiate course can also in time
be established which , In a few years ,
might bo made to equal that of the
Boston Latin echool. All these thinge
can bo accomplished with money , and
Omaha will have no lack of funds for
such purposes hereafter.
THE people of New York city will have
to submit for some time longer to the
extortionate prices and the poor gas oi
the Consolidated gas company. The gat
consumers association made a vigorous
effort to have a bill pasted by the legisla
ture to regulate not only the price , but tc
compel the company to furnish a better
quality of gas. Everybody supposed thai
the bill would pass as there was no ap
parent opposition , but jnst'at the critical
moment the monopoly lobbyists bribed t
sufficient number of the members , at c
cost of $1,000 to $2,000 , to defeat the
measure. This money was not paid , bul
promised. This is where the lobbyist !
displayed great shrewdness. Wher
the gentlemen who had sold out the
psoplo called for their checks the ]
awere Informed that they had not yo
fully earned their money , aa the do
fcated bill would immediately reappaa ;
in a now shape , and they must beat 1
before they could get any cash. Thi
bribe-takers returned to the legislative
halls and when tha now bill came uj
they promptly defeated It. Thus the
gas monopoly escaped the expense o :
buying the legislature a cccond time
The gas-oansumera' association haa givot
up hi disgust any further attempt to boa !
the consolidated monopoly. Gas stud
is quoted firmsr and IB taking an upwarc
tendency. The consumeru of course wll !
have to make up to the monopoly what II
cost to defeat the will of the people.

The mayor nslted the governor if it was no !

Tbo governor eald ho was glad to bnvo the

The mayor lie Is your clerk , not mine.
Governor Manning then continued , nnc

The mayor said what vexed him was tha

that accounted for hla getting BO near to the

The vote was called on the action of Ait

can and one democratic lawyer of his own

The mayor interrupted him by intimating
that it wan not fair to have Mr. Dalrympl
represented by on attorney , while the incum
bout clerk , Mr , Troutman , had no attorney
present ,
The governor continued to show the mayo
that he could veto nothing but an ordinanc
or resolution , and that no resolution was re
quired in order to elect a clerk , and that then
was nothing for the mayor to veto. H
urged that the council at or.co declar
who in the opinion of a majority of the conn
cil waa the clerk. In regards to the problem
of the meaning of "two-thirds" majority , th
governor declared plainly th&t it meant jus
two-thirds of the council , and he did not carte
to spend time in such foolishness
Alderman Shugart eald that the city attor
neybad nd vised the council that theycouli
postpone the election from time to time , am
that no motion was necessity. He called oi
tbo city attoiney for corroboration.

under the statutes the city council could flee
a clerk at any time , uud corroborated th
alderman's s'atetnont. '
The citv attorney then proceeded to score ]
the republican member * tor ming their powe

Alderman Bennett denied the charge o

the fire department to the democrat' ,
Alderman Mynaler declared that the conn

Troutman would lia\u to get out , and h
might as well retire , and let the aldermo
take the responsibility.

After the council had adjourned there wore
intimations given quietly that the

The Modern Ocean Steamer.
St. Louis Republican.
List winter and the firet part of the
present spring furnished more stormy
and dangerous weather on the North At-
antlo than seamen have known for many
o rs and some passages acrois wf ro the
ougbost that votctan teamen over mot
lib. The rough weather sot in In
) ocombcr and continued for five months.
t is not entirely through with yot. The
Germanic , a ttout , good steamer of the
Vhlte Star line , sailed Into New York n
ow days ago , alter battling with the
most terrific storm she had over cncoun-
ored. A heavy sea ( truck the ship on
er bow and completely overwhelmed

caving two foot of water in the cabin.
ho Helvetia , a Belgian steamer , was
knocked to pieces In tlio Ice In the Gulf

ilvorpool Tuesday ropoits having tailed
or miles along a huge wall of Ice.
But while nearly every tegu'ar ' steamer
jotweon Now York and Europe has on-
ountercd stormy and difllcult weather ,
ind some of them hive met with mishaps
lot ono first-class utoaincr has been lost.
Same have had their rudders broken ,

weathered the tempests and got into

blostjlocf ship-building tint prevails
i this day. There Is no useful art that
nodorn civil z it Ion shows higher

are nearly Invulnerable In n storm. Paddlewheels

Improved btock ,
Western Agriculturalist.
What a wonderful revolution In atnck
raising en the western farms as eomparoo
with 25 years ego. Then the masses ol
'armors bied the native scrub atock , and
although they bed but little expense ,
; hey made but little money. They
jeered at their moro enterprising neigh-
Dors who pioneered the Introduction ol
the Improved breeds of stock , just as a
[ Hojudico has fought the progress of our
Improved farm machinery , and Indoec
the Improvements In manufacturing ma
chinery and on every department of our
naticn's progress.
These western states constitute the
oat stock breeding ground of the
world. In climate , in soil , in grass , in
; raln , and iu its great boundless extent ,
it has no equal in all the world , while oui
farmers are fctock farmers. Grass Is becoming
coming a stundard crop , and our gialn is
more profitably marketed through gooo
stock than In any other way. Ever ]
farmer raises moro or lesa stock , and with
the increased value of our lands we have
Increased the value of our stock. W <
have eagerly secured the best animals o
all the best breeds of stock throughon
the older countries of Europe.
Our enterprising importers and breed
ers are now liberally encouraged , ane
are taxed to their utmost capacity to sup
ply the rapidly increasing demand for
breeding animals for the farmers. Ev
ery farmer Is grading up h's ' horses ane
cattle , while the hoga and sheep are now
gtneially of some of the establishce
breeds. In many localities the cattle
are all grades of the Shorthorns , Herefords
fords or Polled Argus , and in the deir ;
districts the ro are many grades of th
Holbteins and Jerseys. As there are
many counties where only those full
blocd bulls are mod , there the Bern'
bull is a thing of the past. Thoio hlgl
grades are eagerly bought by the feeder
and shippers at high prices , and they
make money with them.
A prominent Shorthorn breeder in
Iowa , having pasture likely to go to
waste , and not being able to got grad
cattle of suitable age , went further vea
and bought a lot ot common cattle. B
pastured them through the summer ant
fed them three months on corn , ane
when eold the tail brought more than th
top , and both ends lost him money. Ho
baa concluded hereafter to make white
pasture of his grass if ho cannot fin <
grades or thoroughbreds to eat it In the
summer.
Thus it ia the scrubs have been crowd
ed back by the improved breeds giving
tbo better financial returns , and wltl
the improved breeds comes moro grass
Uood grass and the growtby grades give
the oisieat and highest prosperity to the
farmer , and the higher the grades the
greater tbo profits , with an Increased ra
tlo to thoroughbreds.
From the report r f the department o
agilculturo for 1881 , the percentage c
iocreaeoi value cf high grade cattle it
the rential western states of Ohio , Ken
lucky , Indiana , UHco's ' , Iowa , Mlssoui
Knns-is end Nebraska , was 40 par cent
estimated January 1 , 1881 , and the 1m
prcvcment during the pact year Is much
greater than any previous year ; wo
would place the Increased value at full ]
50 per cent by reason of the introduction
of the improved bioeds.
This report give tbo average vnluo o ;
improvement throughout the Unitee
States as 35 per cent , therefore , cf the
present value of eattlo , § 1,100,715,70:1 :
the unimproved valuation would be
§ 819,203,789 , nnd the value of the Improvement
provemont , § 287,451,910 , , added to the
value of our eattlo by the Improvee
breeds , This is an argument In favor o
grading up , and the Important feature la
this § 187,000,000 is on the profit side
as it costs but little more to raise a gooe
thoroughbred or high grade that matures
oirly and sells at the highest marke
prloa , than It docs to raleo a scrub. Lethe
the farmers of every community breoi
only thoroughbred bulls and that per
cent can bo increased to 100 per cent
and what la true of cat lo is also true o
our hcraes and other atock. Grade u )
and breed up to the greatest profit.

THE HUBBARD TRAGEDY ,
'rack ' Williams , a Braftmau , Kl O ?
Tramps Yesterday ,
Us Murderers Arrested Particulars
of the Affair.
Frnk Williams , a brakeman on the
Chicago , St Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha
road , was ehot and H'lcd ' about 10 o'clcck
rosterday morning by n tramp. The
ragcely occurred at Hubbard station ,
aboul 110 miles north of Omaha. From
artlcnlars as at present received , it ap-
icprs that two tramps wore stealing their
way through to Omaha In a freight car
and weto put off by Williams , whereupon
ouo of them drew a revolver and shot him
n the head. IIo lived but a very
short time.
Immediately after the shooting tha two
rimps ran toward the river. The ahotifl'
of Dakota Oily was telegraphed for , and
quickly arrived on the scene with a jnsso
of men. Shortly before Conductor Kin-
cald , coming down cn train No. 1 , saw
two strange characters in the march near
llubbard. Ho noticed at the time that
their actions were highly suspicious , lie
did not think eerlously of the Incident ,
tiowovor , until ho arrived In Hubbard
and hoard cf the murder. The alarm
was qu'ckly given and a special train waa
sent out from Hnbbard , having en
board n number of railroad men and
citizens. Arriving at the marsh the two
suspects were speedily surrounded and
captured , without any resistance on their
part. They were placed temporarily in
the Dakota City i ll and wore taken last
night to the jail at Hubbard. Upon In-
ten oration the two men confessed the
ast of murder. The t xcitemont in the
town and county IB Intense , and it is not
Improbable that alynchlrg episode will
furnish a retributive feature to the
traaody.
Very little is knowu about the ante
cedents and relatives of the murdornd
man. Williams. Ho commenced work
on the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis &
Omaha road about two months ago , and
run between Harding and Orviugton. H
is believed that his father resides in Chicago
cage , being a stationary engineer at that
point.
An Associated Press account of the
murder received at midnight says In ad
dition to the detailed facts given above
that a round-up of tramps wns made near
Slcux Clly late yesterday afternoon , and
eleven captured , but not until eover.il
shots hod been fired by both sides. Ono
tramp emptied his revolver twice. Ono
tramp was seen to fall when a shot waa
fired at him , but the policeman who did
the shooting saya that he got up and es
caped , though there are strong su plclons
to the effect that ho was killed.

After an experience cf moro than ten
years the people of Pennsylvania know to
their sorrow that the Constitution which
they ordained cannot enforce Itself , They
have discovered , too , that the Constitu
tion cannot bo enforced unless true men
ara sent to the Legislature for the pur
pose. The dt feats which they have ex
perienced thii winter In the Legislature
they have brought on themselves by their
endlessness In the choke cf their Repre
sentative ! . In anticipation of this stnig-
glo to enforce the Constitution agaliut
Inequalities In freight charges the rail
road corporation managers wore alert ,
vigilant and unlttdby a common purpoeo ,
while the publio , whether In Us capacity
of ttcckholder , thlpper of freights or con
sumer , was divided or took a languid In
terest in the question that to nearly con
cerned its Interests , The honest voter *
were amusing themselves Iu the sham
bat lo of the ballots between Republicans
and DeinocntB and the corporation man-
aners carried elf the piiz ? . Ic wai urth-
Ing to them whether the candidate for the
LfgHlatuto was a Democrat or a Repub
lican , provided always that they avcurod
a railroad man. As a result of the activ
ity of those having a deep s ako In per
petuating the abuses and iniquities of
railroad management on thu one hand ,
and of publio dlvloione , indlii'eionco and
neglect on the other , there ii a compact
and formidable body of Representatives
in the Legislature threatening with defeat
cvety reasonable and just mocBuro for
enforcing the injunctions of the Consti
tution f gainst Inequalities in freight char
ges. Tlio emptiuuts of the f arty sham la
witnessed in the spectacle of Democrats'
and Republicans leashed together by the
simo corporation string , and hunting
lown ovoty measure to protect the public
ntcrcsts. Thesa Representatives , lately
llvldcd by imaginary polit'oil ' lines , have
icon drmn together by a stronger tlo
, han party , and ewe allegiance to a moro
[ lotcnt authority. They have thrown off
> ho party badge so convenient wbon can-
lldates , and their constituonto , who beloved <
loved they were decline ; a Republican
or a Democrat , rub their honest eyes and
discover In the yeas ami nays that they
were only sending to the L gttUtnro un
der ono name or the other a corporation
lotvltor. How long v ill the people of
Pennsylvania continue to sjciifico their
tcst Interests in a ridiculous homage of
the fetich of parly ?
