THE supreme court of Pennsylvania
has uilirmcd the decision of the lower
court that the Bell Telephone company is
a common carrier , and ns such is bound
to furnish its instruments to tlio public
without distinction and at a common rent
al. This is n sensible and n just decision
which will bo generally commended ns in
full accord with public interests , while it
is in line with a score of other decisions
defining the duties of common carriers.
THERE has been considerable comment
upon the slackness of the demand of lots
for buil'Ung purposes and for houses such
as working people usually want. This is
the time of the year when thorn ought to
bo a good deal of activity in this depart
ment of business , and there must bo some
cause for the temporary check. Dealers
claim that the chief reason is that build
ers are afraid of labor troubles and the
increased cost of building. A reduction
of the working day from ten to eight
hours , would increase the cost of putting
up buildings 20 per cent. It is thought
that if the demands of the laborers do not
prove to bo so great as to have boon fore
shadowed , or if there are no serious
strikes in this city by the 1st of May ,
i i tnoro will be a revival of the plans for
building. Hut many of the contractors
ijvill wait until after that date before male-
'iug ' any hard and fast contracts as to cost.

Tun census of Iowa shows a popula
tion of over 1,700,000 , , a gain of over 400-
000 in 10 years , or about 3 per conta yoar.
It is noted ns a singular fact that this
'gain is nil in the newer sections. In the
( eastern and northeastern sections , 3 ]
.Bounties show losses varying from COO to
18,100 each. A local explanation is thai
r UrU is caused by dissatisfaction with the
Aprolribitory law , but n careftrl eastern
I correspondent denies this , ami assigns a
number of local reasons. Chief of these
j js that Iowa farms are growing
bigger instead of subdividing , The
big holders with capital nro

who rnoyo on where land is cheaper
either to western lowti or Dakota. Tno
poor man who bought u farm on faovon
years1 time and had almost nothing to

good seasons , has not always met the lat
ter , and IB going lu tlio wall in spite of
his sacrifice's. Then eastern Iowa is part

The Indian Problem.
Ono of the great national problems of
the day la what wo shall do with the In
dians. This question is ably discussed at
considerable length in an article by
Senator Dnwcs , of Massachusetts , which
is published in this issue of the BEE. No
man in this country is better qualified to
handle this subject , as ho has devoted
several years' ol study to the question with
tlio hope of working out a practical solu
tion. At a recent lloston banquet Senator
llour said that "Senator IMwos has him
self been to tlio Indians all that Charles
Sunnier was to the negro , nnd more.
Since his service in his present position ,
the great change in our Indian policy ,
duo so largely to him , has taken place.
Tlip Indians liavo had in him a most
powerful and constant , though unpre
tending , protector , whoso strong inllti-
cnco is over felt in legislation , and , in
case of any wrong attempted or commit
ted , he appears at the executive depart
ment to demand protection or redress. "
Senator Dawes insists that the
civilization of the Indian is
imperatively demanded , and that
lliis can bo accomplished through the In
dian school system , which , so far as it
has been established , has proved an oml-
nunt success. Indian schools are the
main feature of the work of clvllUatioii ,
The first apnropriutigu for tl'.yse scliools ,
in 197(5 ( , was only § JO,000. It lias been in
creased from year to year , until in 1883
the appropriation was $1,107,030. There
arc now -01 boarding and day schools ,
with a total average attendance of fliJM. ,
The result of the system up to the present
limo lias been most encouraging.
Another feature in the work of civiliza
tion , as advocated by Senator Dawes , is
to giyo to each Indian who has become
far enough advanced to know tlio value
of land , at least 100 acres , with the single
limitation thai ho cannot sell or dispose
of it for twenty-live years. The senator
believes that the time is not far distant
when the Indians can bo madn self-sup
porting , intelligent and useful citizens.
Tlio Return ol' Crook.
It is a very warm and cordial welcome
which the citizens of Omaha will extend
to General George Crook , who returns to
us after a more than four years absence.
No department commander has over
been more popular in the city of his
headquarters than the modest and cour
teous gentleman and bravo soldier who
will succeed General Howard as ho pre
ceded him in tno command of tlio depart
ment of the 1'latto. Nebraska and the
west have oxper'enccd in full mea
sure the wisdom of Crook's much criti
cised Indian policy whoso partial success
in Arizona was only accomplished through
a struggle against obstacles which
none can appreciate who were not on the
ground. Always interested iu the devel
opment of our state and alive to its in
terests , General Crook returns to Hud it
doubled in population and \vcalth nnd
doubly needing the watchful care of the
army on its northern frontier where
thousands of settlers have crowded in
along the borders of the Sioux
reserve. Under Crook's direction
and guidance wo may liopq
to see a rapid strengthening and rebuild
ing of our two Nebraska frontier posts
and a concentration of dispersed troops
where they are most needed. But the
citizens of Omaha even more than the
state at largo will bo pleased to have the
general once more in their midst. They
claim him as their own by reason of long
residence , widespread acquaintance , and
universal popularity.
Tlio Servant Girl Question.
There is a general tendency to com
plain of the tyranny and inellicicncy of
the ordinary servant girl. Nearly every
writer on the subject moans over the
gradual disappearance of American girls
from service in families , and base it upou
a prejudice that they lower their posi
tion and forfeit their independence in
doing what they call "menial work. "
There arc two sides of the question of
domestic Kcrvico. Ono is the side of the
housekeeper harassed by her inability to
find and keep a cook or waitress suited
to her taste ; tlio other is the side
of the servant who fools that her services
arc in active demand and that her skill
and training enables her to insist upon
what she calls her rights. As a rule more
American girls seek the shop , the factory
ami the counter rather than the house
hold for two reasons. First , because care
ful training ia necessary to make a good
domestic , and because of love for per
sonal liberty and dislike for the restric
tions which hedge about household help.
The factory or shop girl has some time to
herself and is permitted to spend it as
she pleases. Tim servant girl rarely or
never has an entire day out of every
ftoVon , hoi' oVoninga afo likely to bo
tresspassod upon , and many mistresses
begrudge her absence from the house
during more than a single evening each
week. Some impertinently interfere
with the love allalrsof their servants and
place restrictions upon their reception of
"company. " Hut what must bo the most
galling feature of the rostrainor's lot is
the constant reminder from the time that
Bho appears upou the scene of her labors
in the morning until she disappears from
it ut night , that she is upon a different
plane from those nWHind hcl' tlWt she ig
in fact a servant. If in consideration of
thcsu things she Insists upon extorting
the best terms she can before she enters
( in employer's house , she is entitled to
some credit for her appreciation of the
situation rather than abuse.
It is generally admitted as a fact that
ono can retain his self-respect while
working for most men bettor than while
working for most women. Tlio man is
accustomed to having employes under
him ; he knows most important of all
when to leave them ulono , nnd generally
ho has been under authority himself in
his younger days , and appreciates their
sentiments. The mistress of a household
has never herself been a servant , and ,
however hard she may try to be uonbid-
erato , lior relations with her cook and
housemaid can never be thu .samonsthoso
between her husband and his employes.
Tlio natural result is to make domestic.
service undesirable and to enable these
who unwillingly enter it to hold out for
their own terms. Of course there is a
great deal of inconvenience and domestic
disquietude over incompetent and inef
ficient help. But for much of it mis-
trusses must hold themselves to bkuno.
municipal government
throughout tlio government receives a severe -
vero blow in thotiudlcimciU of the twelve
boodlti nldormnn-in Now York for bribery
nnd corruptioo lu naming the Broadway
railway bill. There arc seventeen in all
who are accused of participating m the
plunder , but some have turned state's ev
idence and others have fled to Canada.
Whatever may bo the weight of testimony
against them , there was enough evidence
to satisfy a Now York gr.xnd jury. In
public opinion the accused were con
demned long ago. Tlio authorities from
the beginning of this great scandal have
acted on the theory that the Broadway
franchise could not have been given away
to Jacob Sharp and his confederates
without wholesale corruption ; and upon
this theory they worked up each case. It
is n new method of dealing with corrupt
municipal representatives , and it prom
ises to have a most wholesome effect , not
only in Now York but in other cities
that are menaced with schemes of spolia
tion and plunder.
the Humbug ,
Omaha is to bo spared the infliction of
an alleged operatic performance by that
prince of humbugging impresarios ,
Colonel Mnpleson. Aside from hear
ing Minnie llauk , Omnba can congratu
late herself that the doughty colonel's
creditors in the west have relieved her
from the cloud of profanity which would
surely have floated over the city after Iho
proposed performance of ' . .tv.Vdny. The
iroupo virtually went to pieces In San
Francisco , many of the best sing
ers loft in disgust for the
cast , nnd these who remained did
so principally for tlio reason thai their
salaries were in arrears and tlio railroad
companies declined to transport passen
gers on credit. Col. J. II. Mnplcaon is
roundly cursing his bad luck. Ho thinks
the American people umipprecinlive , nnd
attributes his financial disaster to the
ignorance of the public. As a matter of
faul , Mnpleson has killed himself and
Italian opera in this country by his fail
ure to keep faith with the public nnd his
outrageous treatment of his troupes.
Now York throw him out bodily
ily last fall. Ho had humbugged
them for several seasons , broken
his contracts with the Academy of Music
directors , cheated the public witii troupes
composed of a few good stars and mis
erable support , with a background of
wretched scenery and worn-out operas.
His record has been ono of daily quarrels
with creditors , lights with deputy slier-
ill's , disputes with managers and hotel
proprietors , wrangles with employes and
cursings from an outraged public.
Omaha need fool no regret at missing
another opportunity for denouncing him
as a fraud of Iho lirat water.
THE real estate men and heavy prop
erly owners have for months been tolling
us that they arc ready to donate valuable
tracts of land to parties who want to es
tablish factories nnd mills , and are very
anxious to encourage Inrgo jobbing
houses desirous of locating in Omaha.
Talk is very cheap , however , but the per
formance does not come up to the prom
ise. No sooner is n demand made for
available property than the price is
raised , and barriers are put in the way of
parties who ate laboring honestly nnd
without direct interest for the location of
factories and jobbing houses. It seems
to us that the real estate agents and own
ers arc standing in their own light by
pursuing such a policy.
OMAHA received another visiting dele
gation this week who cnmc , ns so many
others come , to inspect and report upon
her system of public improvements. The
visitors from St. Paul who examined our
system for sewerage , our eleven miles of
pavements and the plans for work map
ped out , went away impressed not
alone with the extent of the work already
accomplished , but the excellent manner
iu which it had been dono. Omaha has
laid strong and deep foundations for the
development of her public works. Noth
ing but folly and jobbery can destroy
them.
Mil. CIIAULES FRANCIS ADAMS inti
mates that the Van \Vyck bill to author
ize the Union Pacific to expend the
$7,000,000 now in the sinking fund for
branch lines , is not satisfactory to the
roads in several particulars. Wo have
no doubt that the senator will consent to
have the bill amended provided the
change does not jeopardise the interests
of the government or the rights of the
public. The senator will bo in Omaha
within a few days and if the managers of
the Union Pacific will point out Unob
jectionable features ho will give them pro
per consideration.
