Kuilnirn Defeat.
Tlio advocates of radical revision o
the tariff are inclinedto oongratulati
themselves too much over the overwhelm
ing defeat of Mr. Handull.und his follow
ing in tlio battle over Ihe change in tin
house rules. They point to the si/.o o !
the majority which Mr. Morrison was nbh
to muster among his own parly following
and to the large number of republican' '
who joined with the tariff revisers in voting
ing to shear the democratic Sampson oi
liis loek-s and strength. There is such i
thing as over confidence resulting from r
fee easy victory. Tlio assertion that Mr
Randall's defeat of last week was a tri
nmph for free trade will not be borne enl
by tlie results. Tlie issue made , as under
stood bv scores of those who voted againsl
the veteran chairman of the appropria
lions committee , was in no way connect
ed with tariff reform. Tlio question
raised was the abolition of a dangeroiin
concentration of power in tlio hands of ti
single individual and against the interestc
of a proper expediting of Uio public busi
ness. The eounler issue on the part ol
Mr. Randall was that such si
dictatorship was necessary in order -
der to prevent the useless expenditures
and wholesale assaults on the public
treasury. Mr. Morrison's friends doubt
less hoped to discredit Mr. llamlall and
his following in the eyes of congress and
llio country and weaken Iheir influence in
larin" debates , but they cannot he certain
that they have succeeded. Tim vote docs
not indicate it. Many republicans who
come from llic largo manufacturing dis
tricts , where protection is king , voted for
a change in the rules , to assist in widen
ing the split in tlie democratic ranks.
Numbers of democrats billed with Col.
Morrison , bi.'canse they believed that a
scattering of tlio appropriations among
Ihe various committees would afford them
better opporlunilics lo strengthen them
selves among their constituencies by so-
During funds for local expenditure.
It will bo several months yet before ' .ho
liirill' debate is nt its height. For weeks
ifter the holiday recess congress will bo
busy with the introduction of bills , their
reference , committee work and Ihu con-
ildoralion of appropriations. Spring
ivlll be near at hand before the land'ro -
'onners will bo afforded an opportunity
o present their scheme for a revision.
Meantime Mr. Handall's recovery will bo
npldly progressing. Ho is not the poll-
ician lo lie on ills oars because the swell
las carried him back for a moment from
he point at whfeh ho U aiming. His
'olIiHvIng , on whatever ground ho may
ako regarding tarilf revision , will bo
bund something moro than respectable
ivhen tlio lime for action arrives. Col.
Morrison ami Ids friends reckon without
lie bo > ) k if they imagine for a moment
.hill the brainy uml determined Pcnnsly-
nniiin will not bo found full panoplied
or the combat.

Public Improvements.
Omaha is nol the only citj'in the Unite *
Stales that is growing and spondinj
money in public improvements. Thcr
is a rivalry among Uio prosperous citie
in public improvements , and whercve
they are undertaken and honestly con
ducted tliej' invariably prove of incalcn
bio benefll. This lias been dnmon trnlei
beyond a doubt in Omaha. We have tin
reputation of being the best paved citj
in the country , nnd this improvement
alone has added thousands lo our popu
lalion nnd hundreds of thousand * of dollars
lars to our wealth by increasing tin
value of properly. Our seweragt
system is tar superior to any ii
c'ilies twice our .size. Our court house i :
ono of the best public buildings in the
country , nnd thu city liall will be a siml
lar structure. These nnd other public im
provemcnts have given Omaha a reputa
lion for enterprise and prosperity secom
to no city in Uio country. The result se
fur has been very satisfactory , and ccr
tainly justifies the conlinuunco of public
improvements in n syslemnliu manner
Tlio projected vlndueU and boulevard-
and other improvements nro only in th (
line of natural development in this pro
gres-iivo city. They are by no means vision
ary schemes nor beyond our moans. Whal
may now appear to some as a reckless
plunging into debt will a few years henei
prove a judicious investment. Otliei
cities are pursuing this course , nnd oui
debt compared with that of other places
is very small , while our credit is gilt-
edged. The importance of public im
provements as inducements to growth ol
population and increase of proportj
values is shown in Knnsis : City , St. Paul
and Minneapolis , wliieh within ten year-
havp grown from ! i,000 ( ) to over 100,0 , ( ) [
pe.oplo. liven in many of tlie old
cities of tlio cast , which arc
generally regarded as slow-going ,
vast sums of money arc being
expended in public improvements with n
view of stimulating their growth. Take
the city of Clevelandfor instance. Thirty-
two years ago she bad only a popula
tion of iiO.OJO , am'i to-day she has over
200,000 people. Although Cleveland baa
suent $3r > 09,000 in a grand viaduct , she
has decided to construct an additional
system of viaducts to cost oyor $1,000OOU ,
more.
"The idea that n great city like Cleveland -
land , " says the Leader , "should remain
an overgrown village is not a progressive
one. If we expect Cleveland to continue
to grow and become a city of half a mil
lion population in liftcun years wo must
endeavor lo create accommodation for
that great mass of people. * * 1'if-
teen years ago the Leader took the fore
going view of creating facilities for ac
commodating tlie increase of population
and advocated tlie construction of the
viaduct. There was the same cry against
increasing llio indebtedness of tlie
city for that purpose that there is now
against increasing the indebtedness for
building the belt line bridges. Hut in
spite of that opposition the viaduct was
built and now it is a monument to the
sagacity shown in its construction , for
there are none who regret that it was
built , although it cost more than twice
and a half Ihe estimated evpen-m of Ihe
proposed belt line of bridges. The city is
far better able to build thesj bridges at a.
cost of a million than it , was eight years
ago to build the viaduct , and when they
nro built and thousands of home's for out
working people n/o creeled on the unoc
cupied land of the South Side then the
unanimous verdict will be the same that
it is in reference to the viaduct. "
These remarks apply with equal force
to Ihe siluation in Omaha in regard lo
viaduc.ls. Jt is of the utmost importance
that the proposed viaducts should bo built
at un early day. After they are con
structed people will wonder how we got
along without them , and the money in
vested in tlieso improvements will bo re
garded as a mere trillo when compared
with the benefits derived from them ,
J'rodtn oti Gas.
The investigation of the affairs of the
consolidated gas companies of New York
city by the state senate gas committee lias
re-suited in throwing considerable light
upon the subject of profits on gas. On n
capital of S8,727r)00 the stockholders of
Iho four consolidated companies avc
made a profit of $ TO415T03. ; The Man
hattan company , during ( lie fifty years of
its existence , has paid its stockholders
$ ! { 1,287,075 on an actual cash capital of
$3 , 80,000. The New York company was
started sixty years ago on a cash capital
STfiO.OOO , and llio total benefits to stock
holders foot up $2'i,171:530. : The Metro
politan company , which was or
ganized twenty-four years ago
with nn nctuul caMi capital
of $012,700 , has paid ils stockholders $12-
2UO.TO7. The Municipal and Knicker
becker companies , aged about ninej-ears ,
and organized with an actual cash capi
tal of . ' .niO.iiOO , luvvo returned to the
stockholders ? 7 , : > 30,0'JO , The Harlem
company , on n cash capital of $ 1,500,050 ,
paid in dividends in thirty years $3,210-
1117. These figures are of considerable
interest to the public , as lliey Miowhow
Ihe consumers are being robbed , nnd wo
are not surprised nt the general movement -
ment lo reduce llio price of gas by legis
lation. These gas companies are created
by nets of tlio legislature , nnd nre
therefore subject to that body. The
probability is that the price
of gas will be materially reduced in New
York at the next session of tlio legisla
ture if llio gas companies do nol succeed ,
as they did at tlio last session , in buying
np a majority ot tlio legislators , paying
from § 1,200 to $2,500 per vote. Even if
llio legiblaturo does regulate the prlco of
gas , il is doubtful whether it can regulate
Iho action of llio gas-mclcr. The proba
bility is that the meter will bo as dishon
est ns ever , nnd that the bills , notwith
standing the reduced price of gas , will bo
as largo as they bavo always been , if not
larger.
So many American cities are paving
nowadays that the question of tlie rela
tive values of pavements is attracting un
usual attention from civil engineers ,
Capt , F. V. Greene , the army officer who
trout to Hussiii in the last war , has bton
investigating tlio important relations of
furious street pavcineots lo tratllo in
America aud other cities , and has JatoJy
given lil ? conclusions in an essay bofoi
tlio American Society of Civil Engineer
He secured observers in ten Icadin
e.iiies of the country nnd took great pnii
to secure precise observation" ! by unifor
blanks. llo finds several instances i
which the asphalt paVing draws trad
nway from granite paving. In St. l.oui
for instance , Olive street , paved wit
granite , averaged only seven tons of trail
daily for every foot of width , while L <
cust street , parallel and just us favor.it > '
situated averages 103 tons. Chicago an
London have similar instances. As 1
accident * , he finds thcro is ono to ever
Oi'3 ' miles driven upon nsphalt , ono I
every -113 upon granite , and one to evci
272 upon wood , so that wood is twice i
dangerous as asphalt. Falls upon tl
knees are most common upon graniti
because ( lie blocks are made too Wide fc
a proper footing for horses ; they are fi\
inches wide and ought not lo bo ovc
llireo. Falls upon the haunchc'J are moi
common upon asphalt and arc owin
generally to sudden pulling up or turnin
too rapidly. If Capt. Greene had com
to Omaha lie would have obtained a goo
deal of evidence lo fortify his observ :
lions as noted above.
