part of a grateful paoplo , who have no

Tlmo has healed thn wounds of the llv

the sorrows of the grief-stricken hav
been soothed , but the memory of th
fallen defenders of the flag is kept groo
by those who love tholr country.
Memorial day , as it Is most oppropr ;
atcly cillod , teaches an inatructlv
lesson to the gsneratlon that hn

etrow flowers upon their last resting place
While the graves of the loyal men wh
fought and dlod for the union are thn
decorated , the graves of the men wh
fell in battle fighting for the confodorac
are not neglected. There were heroes i

IT is not often that wo hoar of a per
sionor requesting that his pension b

the commissioner by asking that his pen
siqn bo cancelled. Whoa asked if h
know what ho was doing and had full
considered the matter , ho replied that b
had and that ho thought the govornmen
had done enough for him. His request WD
thereupon granted. Commissioner Black
says that this is not the first case of th
kind within his knowledge. Not Ion
after ho entered the office a Kentuokiai
named Stevenson sent in his certificate
with a request that his claim might bi
cancelled. lie surrendered at the sam
time qulto a largo fund of accumulate *
pensions whiah ho had never drawn. H
wrote that ha was fully convinced ho hai
entirely recovered from his disability. Thl
is even n more remarkable case than tha
of the Now Yorker. When mon who ar
honestly entitled to pensions voluntarily
surrender all fntnro claims , It strikes u
that It la about time for Oommlsslono
Black to weed out those who have bsoi

It is an honor to Omaha , and would be

or that are mora cauvoniently arranged
When the lot is graded , and the retain
ing wall and atone stops are complete
the conrt house will have oven a moro at

tax-payers are satisfied that their mono ,
has been well invested , and that it ha
been honestly oxponded. The nox
public building to ba erected in Omah
should bo the city ball , which should b

They will want no ohosp ging rbroac

150,000 peoplo. It will not bo so vcrj
many years before Omaha will have thn

STREET COMMISSIONER ME ANY has , ai
wo are Informed , decided to resign. Wi
would suggest to tbo conncll as a mattti
of economy that the office bo allowed tc
remain vacant. The chairman of the
board of public works can perform all the
duties of the street commissioner withoul
neglecting his own duties now imposed
upon him , During certain seasons whoc
keams are hired for temporary Improve
ments snob as filling washouts and re
pairing bridges , and so on , the chalrmar
of the board can hire a wagon boss foi
$2.50 to $3.00 a day and do just as effi
clent work as has been done by street
commissioners. In the pared portion ol
jie city wo have no longer any use for t
street commissioner , and during the
winter season when there are no public
improvements to supervise , the
chairman of the board ol
public works bos plenty of leisure
For all emergencies. The city charter
makes the street oommlsilonerahlp an ap
pointive office , but it does not necessarily
bllow that the place must bs filled. The
next time the legislature amends the
shutter this office should be abolished ,
So long as the chairman of the board of
mbllo works is a public officer irhoeu
line is to bo entirely given to the city ,
here la no use for a street commissioner
nd even If it was found necessary to have
street commissioner it would bo praetl-
il and economical to raise the salary of
no of the members of the beard of pab-
lie works and also lot him devote his fnl
time to the duties of his office.

Jno of the clearest in the public mind ,

bat the piper should not appear , bnt It

and Franca has a chip on her shoulder
and Is waiting to be catechised on the

There Is a growing opinion In Englan

The Australian colonies have taken an
