The Law -and Order league has been put toiimmy uses since its'forniatlon last fall , by people who hnvo no connection , < even of the most remote nature , with It. The power of the organization in prose cuting minor offenders is well known , nnd us a consequence there are many tin- scrupulous persons who , In ordur to en force tlio prescribed classes into certain lines of action , do not hosllato to use thuir fctir ( if the league as a club , threat * oning openly in some instances to set the olllcers sifter thorn unless spccilicd de mands uro compiled with. The latest ef fort of this kind is that of a young lawyer - yor , who sees in it u butter unil suriT , motliod of collecting bad debts than by the old warrant course. This lawyer's n\mu : is Johnson , and nls shingle , an nouncing "collections a specialty. " hangs on tlui door of room 25 , in the Richards block. Some weeks ago Mrs. Smith , u dressmaker , handed to Johnson for col lection a bill against ti young sporting woman , who had disputed the account Johnson made two or three demands for the money , and linally sent the following note to her by a messenger : "Miss May : L'ay the bearer of this ? 5 , and $5 each succeeding week until your bill is paid in full. Do tlds or I will put the Law and Order league after you at once. 1 will bo-put oil'no longer. 1) ) . F. JOHNSON.

Yesterday the matter-win called to the attention ot the law and Older people , who Vigorously dcuouneedJohnson's , unauthorized effort to use the organisation as an agency for extorting payment of old debts. WHAT IIOKS IT MIANV : "Do you know , " Miid a gentleman welt up in railway muttons , to the Biu : roprp- hontntivo yesterday , "that there is a big lien on the Union Pacific nest ? " The Ilii : ; man allowed that he didn't , and the pcopor into the railway hatchery contin ued : "Well , there's something going on , sure. The Union Pacific people have a good railroad and telegraph line of tholr own from Valley into Omaha , haven't ' they ? Well , what does the Omana.tfc Re publican Yulloy railway company , which is a branch of the Union Pacific , want to cover the HIIIIIO ground for ? Messrs. Adams , Atkins , Ames and Dexter got together in Boston recently , and as di rectors of the Omaha ( S : Republican Valley road , amended the articles of in corporation so as to give them the right to build and operate a railroad and line of telegraph from the point of inaction of that road with t10 Union Pacific near Valley station , eastward through the counties of Douglas and Sarpy into the city of Omaha. The right to build to any point in said city , and to all villages and towns adjoining , as well as to operate such spurs , branches and extensions as the directors may doom advisable , is also Htipulated. Now what does it moan ? Of course as long as _ the present managers of the Union Pacific retain control of the road tioy | can got along without two lines of railway and telegraph running into Omaha. But the main line is heav ily in debt , and the time may come when the creditors will foreclose. If , in such an event , the property should pass into other hands , it would bo very handy for the stockholders who own the securities of the branch roads to have an entrance of their own into Omaha. The Omaha & Republican Valley branch is now well connected with the Kansas system , by way of Maryvillo , and is no mean prop erty. I only give you these hints as my own , and for what you tnink they arc worth. " A little later , when the Bin man readied the state house , Captain Wintcr- Btcon , the deputy secretary of state , handed out a copy of the amended arti cles of incorporation of the Omaha & Re publican Valley road , in which the inten tion to build and operate the above men tioned railway and telegraph lines from Valley to Omaha is stated. There is nothing in the paper beyond this , but what there is sot the scribe to thinking that his informant had been guessing pretty close to the truth. Til 13 DKUMMUK IN COURT. A law suit involving many points of vital interest to commercial travelers has boon commenced in the district court for Lancaster county. In October last Messrs. Cloutman & Bingham , boot and shoo dealers at Boston , employed Alon/.o P. Chapman to soil their goods in Ne braska , Kansas nnd Dakota. A contract , to run ono year , was stoned , giving Chapman exclusive control of the terri tory named , and guaranteeing him a commission ot C per cent on all sales , two-thirds to bo paid in cash on his sight drafts. Chapman now comes into court Wvd Alleges that on the 17tU of February defendants discharged him and broke the contract y putting ft wow man in the territory. Chap man claims that ho was averaging $10 peiO day in cdmmisslons , and says that by tlio neglect of the defendants to forward him nionoy as agreed ho was compelled to lose thirty-five days' time , lor which ho asks judgment of $350. During the lifu of the contract Chapman sold goods to the amount of $1'J-150 , on which his commissions wore $1)73 ) 75. Of tills ho has received but : J800 , leaving u balance due of $172.70. Plaintiff also claims 0 per cent oi\ \ sales made by the man put In his territory , which would give him $750 moro. The total amount alleged to bo duo , including interest , oto. , is il,772,7 ? ' 5. Chapman is well known in Lincoln , having made this city his head quarters , and has many friends who tnink ho has been .shabbily treated. nitiKi' MKNTION.

In the matter of licensing auctioneers , the state supreme court hold yesterday that municipal corporations , while they have a right to fix the license fee , ctin uot put it to a prohibitory liguro.

'Tho ' following is the full text of the Mnyor's message dclivorcd to the council : Gentlemen of tlio Olty Council In nccord- nnco wlthnn cstabllshcil custom , I tnko this occasion to communlcnto with your honor able body nnd present jou with reports from ho several departments , giving an account n detail of tholr operations for the jmst year. Durine the ve.irs 18S3 and 181 , the clause In our chfiTtcfprohlblUng the mayor and city council from incurrliiL' nny liability In ex cess of the amount autliorl/cd by law was re peatedly violated , nnd an Indebtedness uas : rcatPd for which 8100,000 In bonds were issued. The amount ( S103,5W.r ( > 0) ) icallzed from the snlo of tlioso proved Insufficient to pay said Imlebtcrincsvtiul the sum ot § 2:1.000 : was taken Irom the general fund to liquidate the remainder. For this reason but little Kraillng and oilier \\oik , the laymcnt of which lias to be made fiom the general fund , was done the past year. There Is nlvtnysn disposition on the part ot the council to contractor ami do moio work than there are funds to pay for the same , aud to this I especially dcslio to call your alien- tlon. On the 10th and 30th tilt. , clnrlim tlio absence ot the mayor , special meetlncs of tlio council weio ctlled , conliacts for pavlnc woroeiitcicd Into and approved lor about Sir.,000 In excess of the nmotint of sw.ooo of honds Noted lorsuch puinosos. InttpedunuGr tlio present nssussetl valuation ot the elty butw8.oooof tlio SW.OOO paving bonds voted can at picsont , be l sueil. Our total bonded Indebtedness Is but SCC7- PM , which Is very small for a pity the si/o ot this. On .July 1st next tills will bo reduced by the pajmont of 8100.000 school dlstiiet bonds. Funds are now In tlio hands ol the boanl of education for this ntupo c. M\o poi cent city bonds will sell for : i or 4 per cent picmium , and we ci'ilalnly have just cause to foul sallsllcd with our linanclal standlnt : . Five liundicd und twenty thoit- Band dollars ot our Indebtedness 1ms boon spent for pavlni ? and se\\eraco ; nnd Omaha , instoadot bolnc. as she wns In 18S1 , cclolua- ted its the muddiest city In the Missouri val ley , is to-tlay the best paved city ol 70,000 in habitants In the United States. So far our public works have been done economically and well , and thuio lias been but little fiaud or peculation. Theto ate three dilleront de partments to which all wotk is subjected bu- 1010 payment is made : The boaid ot public works , tlio city council , and tin1 mayor ; and , althoiiL'h It Is almost Impossible , alter lmIng passed the inspection ol all these , that any ci tor should occur , or that the city should bo defrauded in any manner , still It behoofs the council to he on the aleit to pi event tlio wily schemes of the designing In their laids upon tlio public trcasuiy.

BTitr.irr coMMissioxr.it. Under the direction ot the street commis sioner since April 1st , 18S5 , ovei SU.OOO lias been expended. All except 52,000 of this amount was paid out for lepair on stteets. While this sum may scorn large , it does not exceed the amount annually expended bo- loiootir stiects were paved , when our city was not half Its present sbe. I would ad vise , howevtsr , that tlio disbursements tor this purpose bo kept at the lowest possible limit , as the work done is mostly of a tem porary character.I'or.icn I'or.icn roncE. At this time I will only speak In a general way of the police force of the city. It Is comuosed ot but thitty men , which number is coi talnly Inadequate for the proper protec tion ot our citi/ens. I would advise that It be incieased ns tast as tlio provisions ot the chaiter , limiting the inalnleimiicn ot the po lice depattmont to 3) ) mills on the dollar. will pei mi t. KIT ho duties of policemen nio pnctiliar , and but few men arc , in all respects , lilted for the position. A policeman should bo a man of true com age , not msli. of good judgment , self possessed , temperate , keen and observ- unt , with good memory for Jacts and laces. A commanding olllcer cannot bo successful unless thobu under him have conlidonco iu his ability ; and in order to have an elliciont police force the inaibhal must liavo the re spect nnd confidence of his men. I would be glad if the law could bo so amended ns to place this branch of government under the conttol of nboaid of police commissioners , so as to make it ontlioly non partisan. There should also be a scale of wages incieaslng in propoi tlon to the time sctved , making It au inducement for deserving men to leniatu on the foice. oun runi.ic SCHOOLS. Our public schrols aioconductcd by a board of education , oiitltcly separate Irom the city government , and the mayor and council are only called upon to provide means for their suppoit. From what I learn , I judge the sama high standard for which they have long been noted has been fully maintained. Ac- cotding to the trcasutcrs report , the total amount of money spent in this department , lor the past sixteen months , has been S'-M'V 537.20. Of this amount S20 , 000 was paid for InteiCbt and § 45.000 expended for buildings. school house sites , curbing , guttering and paving. The pay loll for teacheis' salailcs alone exceeds the sum of 8100,000 per annum. Although our school buildings are veiy com modious and superior In style and character , they are not adequate to our picsent wants. On the 1st of July next 5100,000 of school bonds will be paid , thus reducing the oxpouso for inteiest , SlO.OOO per annum. I'IKK .lii'AItT.MiNT. : : The city hns just reason to feel proud of Its fire dopai tmont. It is composed of men who thoioughly understand their calling , ready at all times to respond to the tap of the bell. For Intoi mation in icgnrd to the number of fito and losses dm ing the past year , i refer you to the toport ot the chief , which Is here with submitted. Tlteie is ono statement In that ropott to which I especially desire to call the attention of all our cltUcns , and that Is that duiing the past year tlio sum of S202- O73.b0 was paid In picmiums to lira Insur ance companies. This shows conclusively , to my mind , that most of the prop city Is In- suieil lor too gieat an amount. The health of the city depends in a great measure upon Its supply of water and Its system of sewerage. It Is gratifying to know that our city la tree from the odious gases and odots that In most other cities are emitted fiom sewers at e\ery corner of their sticets. According to the icport of the sewer Inspector specter there was but 82-J31W , Qxpeiulcd , lor. SHM lie ? an < Un keeping our system In good working condition. This Is certainly a very small sum. There can bo no doubt that the Wai Ing system ot sewerage Is , lor sanitary purposes , the best ever dovlscd. It Is not in tended for stoim water or wnato water from elevators , anu In tl0 | business poitlon ot the city other means will have to bo provided tor the ovcillow fiom the latter. Ono hundred thousand dollars in bonds have been voted i or sewerage purposes , nnd 1 would advlbo that the Wailng system bo extended as fast as possible. Aside Irom Its being the health iest , It is the cheapest system extant. WAlintWOltKS COHI'ANY. I would advise that special legislation nnd consultation bo had with the waterworks com pany In tozard to the supply of water for thatpattof our city In the vicinity of Hans- com pa i It , as well as other extreme sections. The difficulty Is not duo so much to nlova- ( ion as to distance from the distributing point and the InstillielPnt sl/.o of nlpo. This diminishes the velocity. I think , oventuallv , In order to obtain proasmo lor fire bcrvico In thohO poitions of the city loteiied to , an ntixllkuy system of stand pipes must bo erected on the hills. Fire hydrants liavo alie.tdy been located In poitions ot the city \\hete , owing to distance , elevation , and sumlliicss of pipe , they mo of but little use for fire iuotcjtfon , I WQHld suggest that hereafter bofoio any nydrants nro lo cated the committo on flro consult with tlio city engineer and the chiot of the lire depart ment , iu ouler that they may bo placed piop- etly and at points where they will ba of least expense to the city. noAitn or PUHLIO WORKS. The board of public works have the gen eral gupciintondonco of" all contract woik , the care of paved strewts anil tlio supervision of all other publlo woik done by the city , To them are wo largely indebted for the good and substantial character of our public im provements and tor the faithful manner lu which all work has been executed. A suggestion made In tholr leport , "That an Inspector bo appointed to Inspect all ma terial before It coes on the sticets , " Is a good one. As also , "That a machine bo purchased fur tlio puiposo of testing all cement Used. " CITY EXOIJinKIt. Tlio report ot the city engineer Is very vol uminous and gives lu detail an account of all contract work that comes under the jurisdic tion of the engliH't'ilng department. Ac cording to this icport it will bo scon that our city has about nlno aud ono-lmlf miles of paved streets , one and three-quarter miles of paved alleys aud twenty-two miles of sewer age. age.Tho pavements already contracted for the year ISsO will dost , inclusive of intersections , about S&O.QOO. Ab soon as possible , after the next levy is made , if thu assessed valuation of the city will penult , the council should provide for submUllng to the voters of the city a proposition toot < 5 an additional S50- 000 In bonds for pavinc purposes , and to pay tlio 815,000 excess already mentioned. Contracts hatchedlet for an Iron viaduct on Klovcnth strecK ( oter the Union Pacific nnd 13. AM railroad tracks , which will cos about S'tf.OOO. llio council lias authorized tho.constinotion of a viaduct , to bo built Of wood , on Sixteenth street over said railroad tracks , which Is designed to cost about SSO- OJO , and this viaduct la now being advertised for. Under the chaHcr ; provisions must bo made In preparing the next levy fora general assessment for the \iaduct fund covering one-fifth of the cost ahd damages of i-nch of these viaducts. This will require about $ X > , - 000. Theio will be expended during the jcar 1S30 $050,000 for grading , paving , sewers , curbs and viaducts. Of this amount , the city will bo H'quitcd to pay about one-third. The manner in v * nleh the condemnation of pi o port v for public use has been acted upon by the picccdlng councils has , accoidlng to my judgment , been Irregular and Illegal. Alter appraisers have been appointed aud have muilo their icport to the council , an or- dlnanco should bo passed authorl7liig and In structing the city tieasuier to tender to prop erty owners tlto amount ot assessed damac.'S. This ordinance should also contain n sccllon ilcclarlnz such property vacated and ded icated to the public use , to take effect vthon the above conditions \\crocompiled with. The past year has been ono of great pros perity , and the ptospcct of continuous or still intthor advancement Is most fluttering. While lam In ta\or of liberal expeudltuios for public imtmemcnts , and opposed to any nniiow-mlnded policy In this icspcct , tlio people's money should not ho spent unless necessary lor the public good , to the end that taxation bo as little burdensome as possible. The nllalis of the city should bo managed lu the same eaiuful and economical manner In which prudent meii conduct their own busi ness. In conclusion I dcslte to assure you that yon will lind mo luady at all times to cooperate - ate with you In all nieasines lorthc good of the city , and If nny dilTeienco of opinion should arise on niv pail t will always discuss the Issues In a spliltot faliness fiee from bias ot any kind ; and my action shall al ways bo guided by the consideration ot the best Interest ot our rapidly giowlug motto- polls.
