AMOXO thoroprcaontatlvoaat the meet ing of the republican state central com mittee It did not require a toioacopo to discover the nanal pare ntago of barns- clos nnd old political hacks. They wore visible to the nnkod oyo. BY the way , what haa become of all tlioso Nebraska oflico-scokois whcao natnoB wer-A published last eprlug in the St. Louts Globe-Democrat' Have they fallen by the wayaldo , weary with wait ing ? It la now in order for the Otnaha Herald to rovlco the list for the Ctloba- Democrat , Ouu lumber deilors are having their hnnda fnll nowadaya In fcupplylng a thoueand now homes for residents of this cily. The beet evidence of Omaha's re- markwblo growth can bo gained by a ride around the border of the city'a limit : . Never In her history has Omaha aeon a larger number of cottages and moro pro- tcntioua residences In course of construc tion. THE city council haa decided what aldowalks mtut bo conntructod , and It is to bo hoped that the board of public worka will proceed at once with the works. l-t The territory that la to bo Improved with sidewalks is the business center , between Farnam and Douglas and the cross-streets between thosotwo - thoroughfares - faros , from Tenth to Fifteenth street. Those walks are to bo laid to the proper grade nnd width , and are to bo of a dura ble material. THE BEG calla iho attention of Omaha nnd Nobrnaka contractors to the call for bids on the new buildings to bo con structed at Fort Nlobrara , in Ohorry county , in this stato. Full dotalla of the proposed enlargements will bo found in another column. The amount of money to bo expended , § 30,000 , should not be permitted to go outside of the state. Omaha contractors are now hard pushed to meet the calls made upon them In their owii city , but there la no reason why they should not bo able to oucceesfnlly com- jioto for this additional work. ONE of the steamship subsidy hunters la likely to find itself blocked in Its efforts to paralyza foreign mall communication bocatuo the postmaster general haa re fused to pay four prices for ocean trans portation. The Pacific Mall steamship , which refused to carry the last Austra lian mail from San Frnnclaco , bore aa a S passenger an agent of the Oceanic steam- b chip company , who will make arrange fin ments in Now Zealand for the contiau- n nnco of mall eorvico between Australia o nnd this country at the rates refused by tl tlli the Pacific Mail and on a shorter sched li ule of time. lib liE Tuc Grant memorial cervices which P were held en Tuesday In Weatmlniater P Abbey , were remarkable for the largo at- w tondnnco of distinguished Englishmen n and the eloquent discourse of Canon Far- d rnr.

PATTEE has notified the city niB council that the city Jill In his old rook- nidl cry is an annoyance to the neighborhood , dldi and that it must bo removed or the rent dim will be raised to $100 a mouth , As Mr. dioi Piitteo haa for years derived hla main oi rental of th&t building from the city , it oim is decidedly cheeky , to say the least , for m him at this late day to demand an in bibt creased rout for for a room because it bt happens to ba used aa a elation house. or It would seem , however , that hla solici al tude for the comfort of the neighborhood yc la not oo carnoat aa hla desire to catch Inwl hold of a few extra dolli ra. In consid wl eration of additional rent ho is willing th to permit the jail to remain where It is eu nnd lot the neighborhood howl , The oa ; proper thing for the city council to do , under the circumstances , la to entirely nt ral vaoato the building , to far as the city Is ralB concerned , and then declare the old fire- ab t nip a dangerous nuisance , which mint bo na abated at onco. nawl BOULEVARDS AND PARKS. It Is conceded by toutiits and visitors from all sections of the country that Omaha IB a beautiful cily , and Is without qucatlon the gem of the Missouri valley Her commanding position with her business center on a high plateau , and tbo residence portion largely upon the hills to the west and south at once makes a favorable impression upon the traveler aa ho approichcs the city from any direction. Her broad streets and avenues , with their substantial pave ments and cleanly appearance , add to iho attractiveness of the city. Omaha , however - over , has only begun to develop , and If her natural advantages of hill and dale are utilized fiho can bo made one of the moat beautiful and picturesque cities in America , if not In the world. Such a desirable result can bo accomplished by a united effort on the part of the public- spirited citizens with the cily author Itlos. Itlos.Tho The pla of making a chain of parks and boulevards from Cut-off lake on the north , to South Omaha , forming a semicircle - circle of the city , has this object in vlow and will do moro towards its accomplish ment than any other achomo that can bo dovlsod. Beginning at the lake , the boulevard will take in Sulphur Springs , with the stately oaks and elms and ro mantic scenery in the immediate vicinity. Thence the course will bo west ward to Fort Omaha , and neat of the Sacred Heart Convent , passing near College place and Mercer park to the county faun , along the line of Thirty-sixth street , thoncs to Hanscom park , and then onca more on the line of Thirty-aixlh street to the South Omiha park , near the Union Stock yards. It la the intention to Improve Cut-oft" lake by dredging , which will deepen It and make It ono of the clearest bodies of water in the wcit , Roadways villl bo cDnotiuctcd along the banks , and a row of trees will bo planted on each side of the drives nnd lake. Sulphur Springs will in duo thin not only bo mad a to supply a hctlthy beverage but bathing waters ot Incalcu lable value. There are jinny celebrated resorts that have no better mineral water than Is found In thoao springs. The proposed boulevard , which ia to bo from ICO to 200 feat wide , and from sir to eight mllca la length , will , with its Intervening parks , give to Omaha a reputation abroad such ss ia enjoyed by Cleveland , Detroit , Buffalo , Rochester and other beautiful cities of the oast. It should not ba the doalro.of our citizens to simply make Omaha a great commercial center , or a cattle market , or a jobbing and manufacturing city , but they should also endeavor io make it an attractive residence ploca , and oven a summer re sort. The location , midway between the two oceana , Ia one thousand feet above the sea level , and its climate la salubrious ind invigorating. With all her advantages Omaha can easily bo made , not only a great center of population , but a city where rich men [ Fill bo willing to spend their money and lays of leisure. The success of the proposed boulevard ind park schema must depend npon the property owners along the line. It will jo eeon at a glance that the property in .ho vicinity of the boulevard will bo > reatly enhanced in value , aa It will im- nediatoly bccoino mott desirable forresl- ienco purposes. Now Is the limo to jegln the ontorprico , and wo hope to soot t pushed through to a succoatful terml- AN INDUSTRIAL CHANGE. The progress In steel manufacture ia ld to bo eorlonaly threatening the iron uainosa of the country. There are now ivonty-ono completed steel works in iiuorlca , and arrangements have boon erfected for the construction of eleven OTT plants. Four yoarj ago there were ut five , all controlled by the Bessemer lonopoly , and ono , the Valcin works , of t. Ionia , inoperative under an annual onus of $500,000 paid them by the other mr for closing their doora In order to ! lalntiin the price of atoal rails through- ut the country. The breaking down of its most gigantic of industrial monopo- es has resulted in such a cheapening of tossamer steel that It can now 0 used for practically all nrposos for which Iron has boon em- loyod at a much loss cost , and sioel rails hich a year ago commanded nearly , if ot quite , 8100 per ton are euppllod to- ay at $25 , The United States now Btinda cccond 1 the list of steel-making countries , 'and i crowding Great Britain for firat place , mprovod retorts , crucibles and mi- ilnery have ohangod oven the cheap British proceaj , while a far loai honorable lothod of adaltoratlonaud amalgamation , Herding to President 0. P. Huntingdon , [ the Central PaciQo , has , In some in- "jncol , still further lowered the coat of lacing the manufactured product on the larkot , The greatlron-produelngdistricts o now mot on their own grounds by the esjomor retortj , and tha aklllod pud- lors are being crowded aaldo by pon- jrous miohlnoj which turn oub steel ere cheaply than the raw material out : which stool was formerly mido. In the manufdotura of rails steal comes oat directly Into competition with iron , it other branches of the Irou trada ore > ing gradually affaotud , aud it Dooms ily a question of lima when iron will bo moat entirely snperaaded by stool. List iar the Bessemer atojl worki produced forms olhor than rail ) 818,503 tona , blch was nearly double tha output of a provfous you. Inferring to the bstltntlon of stool for iroa Jiradstreel's ya : P' ' kiss than twelve yeara ace all of our itils P'hi ire made of iron ; to-day practically all our hi Is are inido of eteel , Leat than thruo yeara tli otho ateel nail waj unknown as a merchant- le product ; to-day m ny c our leading thP U factofioi produca nothing but etael nails , thki < lile maoy other mills , which u 7/ make iron ki n ils , are preparing to make the steel product. In tunny other manufactured articles stool has proclaimed its superiority over the iron-made article , It Is certnlnlr only a question ot time before that relic of undent processes , the puddlor , will find his occupation restricted tea a few articles that must of necotaity be made of iron , PitEsiDENT CLEVELAND has declined to change his order requiring the ranchmen to remove their herds from Indian terri tory within forty days , but the govern ment will probably act leniently In enforcing - forcing the letter of the order If the cattle owners only show a proper disposi tion to comply with Its spirit. As a matter of fact , a literal compliance with the order Is Impossible , as every ranch man knows. To gather 15,000 head of of cutlo within the forly days limit would bo a difficult task when the vaat extent of range over which they roam la taken into consideration. To collect 250,000 head , with every resource of men , horses , nnd wagons called into requisition , will bo the work of months. For this rea son and the added ono that at present the quarantine regulations of Kantaa and Colorado will forbid the driving of the herds north aud west and leave only northern Texas , already heavily over stocked , to receive this vast army of cattle tlo , wo Incline to the bollof that the gov ernment will make every allowance In enforcing the order of the removal if the rnnchmon show cvldoncu of a desire to remove as quickly as possible and outer upon the work of gathering tholr stock. Whllo the occupation of the Indian lands was unauthorized by law , it must not ba forgotten that it received at least tacit official sanction from the interior depart- rnetUa. Under the circumstances the government can well afford to exercise a wise leniency which will not defeat the Intention of the order and the ultimate clearing out of the territory. ALTIIC.UOII . the moicnry ranged among the nineties in Daa Moinea , on last Sat urday , it was nevertheless chilly for BOBS Clarkson. The result of the republican primaries on that day nhows that ho was loft out in the cold. If ho participates in the coming atato convention It will bo by means of a proxy , which certainly will not bo considered a very dignified way for the Iowa member of the national ccmmltteo to got into that body. It la noted aa a somewhat remarkable fact thai this Is the firat tlmo in ton yearj that Clarkson haa boon abut out of the atato convention. The fact that he has thna boon sot down upon at last may be taken as pretty conclusive evidence that the re publican party Is beginning to tire of his leadership. It Is certainly high time for the republicans of the great atato of Iowa to select some now and able loader. THE wheat crop of Texas promises to bo the largest and best over raised in the state , and the corn crop goes far ahead of anything In the past. It it is esti mated that the cotton crop will reach two million of balco , equal to 1,000,000,000 pounds. The valno at nine cents per pound will amount to ninety millions of dollars. The ballof prevails that the cattle tlo silos of the present calendar year will aggregate ton mllllona of dollars. To the foregoing sums must bo added many mil lions moro accruing from the sale of the wool clip , horsss , mules , and various agri cultural products. The paoplo of Texas arc greatly elated over their prospective prcsporlty. TUB Sharon-Hlll divorce trial drags its alow length along , but the monotony of the proceedings continues to be fro. [ juontly broken by the most hostile and murderous demonstrations in the court room Only the other day the two op posing lawyers got into a fight and drew revolvers , and on Monday Miaa Hill whipped out n sovon-shootor from her latchol and attempted to shoot ex-Senator Stewart , attorney for Sharon , She threatens to kill Stewart before the tiial s over. It is about tlmo that somebody iraa laid out in that case. THE effect of hard times and nnom- ) loyod labor la showing Itself In the tide > f immigration which hai baon steadily ibblng slnco 1882 , In that year it cached high water mark , with no lina han 788,992 nrrlvalj at our principal " lorta.

P Pli li TUB Mormons have sent out a denial , hat they intended to kick up a dlsturb- btl bc nco on the 24th of July , and that there tl ras no occasion for Governor Murray to tld tlv ako any precautionary measures.

Mr. Stokes was Ivon his second start In Ufa by Mackay , ad there Is but llttlo doubt that ho ni irulshod the money with which to make ils purchase , which indicates that the in irnpany will continue in the field as a to i jmpatltor of the Western Union. in tli tii THE pickpockets are propirlng to prey non the pockets of the mourners while qi raying at the Grant funeral in Now r end the Mid moak-thioves ork , burglars - as ) po to reap a thh hirvoat by raiding oxm : o houses of poraona In attendance at m IB obiequles , So say the New York > llco , who are making u round-up o ! all all lown crooka and suspects.

PUESIDENT CLBVELANII administered a sharp rebnko to the cattle kings of the Indian territory. Ho virtually told them that they had wasted twelve out of tholr forty days to got au extension of tlmo , and that If they had employed this tlmo In an endeavor to got tholr cattla off the forbidden land it would hove been moro profitable for them. CHICAGO people boast with good reason of its ontorprlao and generosity. Here is Now York atlll agitating a na tional monument to Grant , whtlo iho great city on the lakes haa already raised $40,000 nnd Is prepared to double the sum In case it is decided to expend that amount. A LACK of enterprise on the part of her people Is not Omaha's greatest bar to ad vancement. A lack of funds canaod by the evasion of taxes through dishonest assessments ia the trouble which will never bo remedied until there ia a radical reform in our methods of property valuation. ACCORDING to "Bath" the sum of $12,000 has been raieod to pay Grant's doctor bill. Stanford , HuuUngton and Crocker each gave $2,000 , while Bonanza Mackay contributed the balance' Thla la very creditable to the California millionaire quartette. WHEN the Omaha Ityntblican gets through with its libel auit ngalnst James Creighton it will probably rorcomber the old Wisconsin maxim , posted up in the sawmill region , "Do not monkey with the \ > m.z saw when in motion. " WHEN aomo day Omaha awakens to a realization ot the value of a frachiao to the use of its public streets and alleys tbo city will derive a handsome annual Income from the various corporations which it is now supporting free of coat. HARD times In the east affect Nebraska moro or loss , but with a crop which promises to oxcal anything in her history our farmers are not worrying themselves over the coming winter. METROPOLITAN sidewalks oi solid stone or concrete nnd flagged crosswalks are two of the greatest nccda of Omaha to-day. They nro demanded by our , people and cannot bo long delayed. L.115O11 AND It.lBOUERS. Matters of Interest to lilmployors and Employed. Philadelphia Record , Possibly 10 par cant of the labor army is Idle throughout the United States. Employed labor ia for the meat part paid the same wages as la si year. P/ices of almost all cHiimcdltlca and material are lower than last year. Why , then , should there bo eo much complaint of dullness ? rho truth is , complaints come from the troll-to-do people the so-called middle slassos btciuso margins of profit are narrower and failures are In progress at the rate of about 10,000 a year. The bono acd sinew of the country , at least tha employed portion , are doing well , jcd would bo prosperous if employment rrero constant. The ha'f rich are the looplo that are suffering. Renewed complaints are mode In for- 3lgn manufacturing communities of dull ness , because production Is not curtailed , ivhile competition Is on the increase and jonsumptlon on the decrease. Ezpezi- mco Is demonstrating that cc-operatlto mterpiiaea abroad may and do floualsh luring prosperous and booming time ; , jut gtvo out during bad times for such 'oaaona as thozo. When times become loprcesod workers oat up all their earn- Dgg , and aa there la no sufficient surplus , ho concerns must borrow. Beoldes , the lo-operalivo concerns must run , because ho necessities of the workers demand imploymcnt ; hence there ia a tendency o overproduction and a dosllno in prices. There ii constantly more or loss clis- : ontont among tratlos-unionists of all ilasacs because of the apparent decline in orco. The mcmborahip ia steadily grow- ng. Man ruth in with hopes , f aw of rhich are ever realized , The conditions gainst them are too powerful to bo ovor- omo. Yet wo are progressing slowly award a social condition whore equity rill bo done because It will bo to the In- Great of all to do it and see it dono. A trades assembly will be organized at 'Ittsbnrg on Aagait 15 to accomplish by ' L/lltlcal action what has been denied tbor.

British porta havii fallen off during the fint slv i onths of the pist three youra In tha yo tie of 19 , 17 , 15 Imports have fallen po : f heavily. Mill labor has been reduced wb Rhtly. ; to Gorman manufacturing icduitrles are tei generally moro healthful. A great many Germans have been educated In English shop ! . Some are now In American shops studying our advantages , with B vlow of adopting them In their native country. Besides this , they are giving moro atten tion to technical schools. Paper-makers ara adding to their ma chinery at a time when many are calling for a restriction of output. A good deal of manufacturing enter prise la displayed In Illinois , Missouri and Iowa , and a goodly number of llttlo Industries are springing up in thoao states. The bridge-makers and builders are busier at this tlmo than they have been for months. The bridges are generally for railroad * . American hardware manufacturers say they find it difficult to put their superior hardware in foreign markets , because the Ignorant poaaantry prefer a clumsy arti cle to alight ono. In several English trades great desti tution provalle , and a royal commission may take the subject In hand. Foreign tnanulac'.nrcrn in several chan nels of industry have combined to keep UD prices. The Welsh tln-plato makers are restricting 1,000 boxes per thy. The German rolled-iron makers are combin ing The Illinois and Iowa coal-mine own ers are hopeful that the scheme to keep a high stage of water in the Mississippi by dimming up water In a few lakes for use In the dry season will work. Oao lake of ninety cqunro miles has been raistd twelve foot , and another of two hundred equara miles has boon raised twelve foot. The total supply , it is estimated , by judicious USB cm Increase the depth of water in the Mississippi in dry aeasona from throe to five foot. If this engin eering foot can bo accomplished it would have a marked elloct on industrial Inter ests In the great northwest. The Amalgamated association of Iron and ntool workers mot at Wheeling on Tuesday. No ecrloua questions ere corning up. Its chief care Is to preserve what has boon accomplished.

There are 10,520 coke ovcus in the Connollavillo region of which 3,071 are idle ; the others are running fovr d&ys psr week. New buildings ior manufacturing pur poses continue to spring up.
