There hai been an abundatoj of hrgi in ti o fctito during the hat winter , nii tlia pork packets have had po dljlicnlty In &lfhey \ THE WORK OF DETECTIVES. The sad atory of the ruin of Jacob M. Smith , of Atchlionis ono that cannot help exciting some sympathy. After n long and honorable record as an enter prising business man , ho ia charged with an attempt to barn his own pork-pack ing house for the purpono of defrauding the Insurance companies. The only ex cuse for this misstep , which has rained his life , wrecked the happiness of cha-rming and loving family , and pain fully surprised his friends , was that he was financiilly embarrassed and becoming < ing desperate reiortod to this method oi recuperating his fallen fortune. But lal 113 look for a moment into the facts , ai recited in iho proas dispatches , to Ascer tain If there nronotpotsibly aomocxtonn < atlng circumstance ; , or If ho la not the victim of some foul conspiracy. For some tlmo past hogs , moat andothoi freight had been stolen from the care nud stock yards in Ei&t Atohlson , and the railroad companies put detectives at work to ferret out the robber * . It was upon the promises of 'Mr. Smith that the rob beries occurred. The detectives took Smith into their confidence , and ono of them , under the assumed name of John son , became his driver. An arrangement was made between Smith and the railroad companies whereby the former was to al low his safe to ba blown open in order that a batter hold might bo got upon tbo thieves , with whom Johnson aaaosiated himself. Now , at this point , la whore the strange pirt of the story comes In. The dis patches , sent ont by parties who in all probability had heard only ono sldo , and that of course being the statement of. the detectives , state that not lung aft or this arrangement Smith proposed a plan to barn the packing house , promising to give Johnson 810,000 for the job , To ac complish thla both the watchmen on the promises had to bo corrupted. Smith , for whom they worked twenty-two years , succeeded In doing thla. The plan was carefully prepared. Everything waa ar ranged for the safo-burgliry , to catch the hog-thlevcs , and the fire-trap was all sot to destroy the building. Bat the insurance agents , who were aware of what was going on , becoming afraid to wait until the match should 'bo applied lest the building should bo destroyed , ordered the arrests to bo mado. Mr. Smith and his confederates , as ( roll as the hog thieves , were accordingly taken into custody. Mr. Smith , who had no connection whatever with the thieves , confessed to the charge of at tempted arson made against him , and taking all tho'blame upon himself , begged ; hat his employes bo released. Now , although Air. Smith ' 3 said to idmit his gailt , IB it not possible that In stead of his proposing to the dotectlvoa : ho plan to barn the building , that the proposition came from the detectives ? Ead they not already put np A safe- blowing job upon * the hog thieves ? Why was that stop accessary ? Could they not have iavo been arrested tor the crime , with- ) ut being inveigled Into committing an- ither ? Is it anymore strange than that tbo detectives , in ord'orto create a sensa tion , make a reputation , and reap a big reward , should put np a job on Smith1 ? Such tilings have occurred before. Did lot detectives pat up a jo } ] to have -the Nebraska state treasury robbed , for nether ) ther purpose than making a reputation ind getting a reward , all at the oxpanio if their misguided victims , who wonld lover have thought of each a thing bad lot the < detectives proposed it and led ihem on. The mothoda of dotectlvea are lomotlmes rather strange , and the1 true friends of Mr. Smith should' ; lvo the Eubjcct careful consideration ind investigation , Perhaps ho has } eon moro sinned against than sinning. Furthermore , was it right to allow him , wen If ho did make the proposal , to pro- : e < cd so far ? Wonld it not have been uoro honorable on the part of the detec tives , the Insurance ogonto , and others vho knew rrhat was going on , and thereby n a way making themselves parties to a ionsplracy , to have checked Smith be- 'ore ho had virtually committed himself o tho.crime' ' ? It would esom that the jualneto of detectives is to a considerable ixtont the ) pattlng-np of jjoba , rather ban the detection of men after they iavo committed crimes. JEFFJDRSQN SQUARE. Citizens Inioreatod.in property around 'efforson cqcaro and along Sixteenth Iroot have filed with the city council an pinion , preparediby Judge L kqito the fleet that Jefferson i tzaro may to.occu lied for any public nao which the mayor nd < cotmcil may BOB fit to make > of it. n other words Judge jiko holda > that bero Is .nothing In the title to Je fieri on guaia which wonfid prevent its ocou- anoy .for public building * or marlkot- onaes. With thla .qpinioc we do not repose to taJco iftiue. If the mayor * nd iy council deem It beat ifor the pnbllo ttereat to .locate a market ; hopao on Jeff- raon equaro for the convenience of the orthern half of the city , theco can be D valid or reasonable objection. If , a wo v or , the parties who have procured ils opinion propose to carry through the d ecbcmo of combining iho intrket- > nao and city ball In ono building , and citing it on Jefferson square , the great MS of our people will mcst decidedly ijeot. Not a dollar of bonds will ever i voted for such a building. It kes a two-thirds vote to carr > nds fcr any purpose , and > can safely predict that a large major- of the voters would vote no to any : h bond proposition. The First , cond and Fourth wards would bo solid Unit it , and the Third would be coarly e while the Fifth and Sixth would be 'ided , for lha reason that a largo nam I u t of business men who resldo In theio J o 9 last mentioned ward * . JT9ud ] rjgard d U aa Impractical and undesirable , Oni objections to the market homo and city hall being under one roof wcro stated years ago , when it was fini talked of , The only places whore artoh build- Ingt have been erected an In the aontb , and there thoj have been pronounced a nuisance , Market houses are always -surrounded bj largo crowds on market days , and than who have business with the city oflictali do not want to be compelled to gc through the jam , The great lnconvon < lonco of taking prisoners and wltncssei to and from the public court room locatec in a market building , ia patent to every body. The odora of a market house wonld not be very doslrablo for the cltj officials and those having buainos | with them , Betides this such a combin ation building could not bo made fire proof fhort ofhalf a million dollars , Bnt oven If It conld bo erected cheaply without objectionable features , Jefferson eqnaro Is not now and never will bo cen tral enough for a city hall. In locating the city hall the main object should bo public convenience and safety , Every largo city aims to have the city and county buildings as near together as they can possibly bo placed. In many cities the city and county buildings are nndor ono roof. They should have bcon so hi Omaha. It would have been cheaper and much moro convenient to have had the court hence and city hall in ono building. The next best thing to having them In ono building is to have them as the cites are now located , op posite to each other. This was the mcin object nnd purpose of the city conncll when it made the trade for the Paxton ground. It was the understanding where by the board of education entered into the compact to contribute $25,000 to * wards the city hall building The board never would consent to a change of location. It would pur chase a lot nearer to the business center and erect its own building rather than move to Jefferson square. If put to a vote to-day the location opposite the court houao wonld receive seven-eighths of the vote'Oi the people. The men who ire agitating the change are only ob- itrucling a needed public Improvement. Fhoy may delay and prevent the erection of a city hall for the next ; wo or thraa years. They m y lelay and prevent iho erection of largo 3locks of buildings on upper Farnam itroet , but that is all they will accom plish. It has been the misfortune of Dmaba that old moasbncks , cranks , mall ? , and men who have been i failure all their lives In their ) wn business are always ready to ) bstract public improvements by visionary tnd impractical schemes. It Is amazing ; hat members of the council have al- owcd themselves to be at all influenced iy air-castle builders who never build my thing. THE Illinois legislature has patsod three aiva-that will no doubt have a tendency , o parlfy the elections in that state , and particularly in Chicago , whore auch a ; hing as the purity of the ballot box has seen unknown in the elections of late roars. One of these laws provides that noting precincts shall not contain more ban .450 voters. This will enable every nan to gee in his vote , and the small inmbor of votes 'being ' easily counted .hore will bo loss opportunity for fraud. Provision ia also mado'for the manner of naklng the returns. The second law lo- ; alizes and regulates the primaries. iVhonovor the executive icommlttoo of a lolitlcal party decldeo to hold its pri maries under this law , then the party la > ound by it. This ia similar to the prl- nary election law of Colorado. The third tloctlon law provides for penalties of fine > r imprisonment , or both , for failure on ho part of election officers to perform heir duties. All thcno measures were Adopted by a very largo vote , being fa- rored without regard to party. It Is cvl- lent that the legislature of llllncs ia con- 'Inced of the necessity of election ro- or ma. JHIGHTER DAYS FOR NEVADA. Ever alncB the famous Comstook lode egau to dwindle down to an ordinary lold , itho state of Nevada has gone back- rard. Mining camps and towns that rero once protperoas and populous are low mere hamlets. Even Virginia City , nco the liveliest mining town on the 'aclfic dope , has become moro than half opopul&tod , while property , once hold at fabulous .price . , can now be had for a ong. The state has not now moro than 0,000 people. It is owing to this ro larkable retrogression that Nevada has termed " " state and oca a "played-oet" , olitlclans have maintained that she ught not to be entitled to the repro- 3ntatlon of actato in the national legU- ilure , bnt should ba deprived of or statehood , If It were possible , ad attached to 'California. The maln- -nance of a foil set of atate officers at i ; salaries has also been criticised. Ne- ida has stood the brunt of unfavorable rots comment for several years and it ust , therefore , be a pleasure to the evadans to see at last a break In the 3ads .that have been banging over the ate for ao long a time. According to e San .Francisco Call the great mistake > s been made in regarding the Com- 3ck Icde as the atata of Nevada. This Istako Is .responsible tor the adverse Inlou civccerning Nevada * No ono nillar with the possibilities of tbo state , JB the Call , admits that It Ja either ilayed out" or worked out. It Is true that ihero has been , and stll ! deproeeiou in some of ( he mining npa , that boranzzs have been exhaait ! that miners have gone elsewhere , bat rorlhelesa wtdl informed Nevidani Intaln that the mineral development Nevada ia yet in ita infantcy , New coyeiies are now bplpg made almost dally , and sales of mining properties arc constantly occurring. Altogether the out look is quite favorable for n return ci prospcrona days. The Caltt from whicl wo quote , ( ays : Some changes have been going on , ani others are in prospect , which will Urgelj aid In the future mining. The great draw back to the prosecution of work has been thi heavy expense , Including extravagant sala ries of superintendents , the oxcestivo cost ol transportation and general prodigality of ex penditure , This Ja being remedied. The blp salaries bavo been cat dawn to reasonable figures ; the numerous leak-holes In management agoment have been stopped , There is a ten dency to division of labor by divorcing mill ing and reduction from mining proper , which , it Is believed , will tesult in on im provement of processes and greater economy In working. The transportation question b still in the future , but there are signs of r change hero also. The Utah Southern , with its prctent terminus at Frisco , near the Nev ada line , Is already taking ore from eastern Nevada to Salt Lake for reduction. There Is a prospect of the continuation of a connecting line across tbo state to California. Settle ment oi the country along the line , competi tive rates and tLe construction of short feed- era will settle the question of transportation and enable the state to utilize Its dormant resources , NKWS.
