THE papers of St. Paul tire drugging Sain Jones over the coals. This is un grateful. Sain Ims never failed in his sermons to civo St. Paul credit for con siderably piety and ability. Now let us hear from St Peter. Mu. BrAiNi : is said to bo. preparing for tlio greatest ollbrt of his life in a speech to bo delivered in tlio Maine campaign. Mr. Illaino's weather optic is trained in steatiy sight on the next national conven tion which will nominate a successor to Grov6r Cleveland. The prospects arc not brilliant for tiio candidate from the home of Neal Dow. A TiiKGifAJi says that Mrs. drover Cleveland will receive about $30,000 unuor the provisions of Col. J. 1J. Fol- soin's will , instead of $50,000 , unless the real estate in Omaha increasoi in value. "Wo can assure Mrs. Cleveland that the real estate in Omaha will increase sum'-- ciontly within two or three years to make her legacy nearer $50,000 than $20,000. Hic'icrKS3 : driving on our paved streets must stop. The druiikon exploits of a citizen last uight in disabling several men , women and children , nnd wrecking linH n dozen vehicles may bo repeated any day by sober men who persist in driving down our thorougfarcs as if they wore sections of the Omaha race track. Streets of crowded cities are no place to show off tlio speed of fast steppers. Wnv cannot Omaha secure and main tain at least as largo flouring mills as those of any interior town in Nebraska ? Tlio wheat is here , tlio railroads arc at hand , and all that seems to bo needed is a move to secure men of cxnorionco and brains to conduct the business. Mills cmnloy men and factories furnish steady work to laborers and mechanics. Wo want both. A nr.TUKN has been made by the ustato of Col. Folsom of its interest in Nebraska real estate. The inventory fixes the value at about $150,000.Vo venture the asser tion that the property of Mrs Cleveland's ' .grandfather , which is located in Omaha nlone , could bo sold to-day for nearly a quarter of a million dollars. The presi dent will do well to increase his execu tive interest in matters pertaining to this particular suction of t'.iowest. THE council did a good thing in or- .derlng the marshal to compel tlio hack drivers and cabmen to post conspicu ously m their vehicles rates of faro for tlio information of passengers. The hack- won , especially slnco the cabs and coupes have come to stay , ara high-handed pi rates who swindle strangers and citi/.ons nllko with unblushing ofl'rontry , and challenge punishment for their offenses.- The hack robberies should be suppressed. TIIKIU : have been a great many nnxi ous and uneasy people in the depart nionts at Washington during the past few days , in consequence of the under standing that numerous removals would bo made at tlio close of the fiscal year , which is the 00th of Juno , By this time the weeding out has probably been of .foetod . and the unfortunates know their 'fate , while these who deem themselves more fortunate in being ro tatncd will hang for a time on the r.ig god edge. Wo say for a time , because it is almost morally certain that no man rwlio received appointment under ropub liuan administrations will bo allowed to remain in position longer than convent once or expediency requires. "Turn tlio -rascals out" is not a discarded shibboleth , nor la the hungry democratic crowd yet appeased. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ chief feature of Mr. Handall's tariff bill , " according to the JIcraM , "is putting lumber on the free list -the great est boon that could bo bestowed on Ne braska farmers. " Tlio chief feature of Mr , Randall's tariff bill is putting tobacco tind brandies on tlio free list to the tune of $20.000,000. Tlio chief feature of Mr. Randall's bill is that it gives tariff roduo tiou a wldcv berth and cuts n sweeping sw.itli on taxes which no one wants ru duced. The entire amount of additions to the froolist is only a million of dollars. With an nniuial surplus raised by taxa tlon of $85,000,000 , the chief feature of Ulr. Randall's tariff bill is plainly its in tentional failure to promote tariff reform .nml to bolster up the protected monopo lies by preventing such a reduction in the turlfl tnxivs as is demanded by the sutler Ng interests of the west. The Pan-Klcctrlo Business. It is nn evidence of the complicated character of the Pan-Hlcctric Telephone cotroversy , Hint there will bo presented to congress thrco reports from the in vestigating committee. According to advices from Washington , it is inferred that four democratic members of tlio committed will unite in a report intended to whitewash certain persons , notably Attorney General Garland , whoso reputa tions have been affected by their connec tion with this telephone company , while the other democratic member will go it nlono in a report disagreeing with some of the views of ills party colleagues on the committee , but concurring re specting the attltudo of Mr. Garland in Ills relations with tlio company. The re port of the rcnuulicau members of the committed will show the character of the Pau-Kloctric company and Its method of distributing stock wlio'-o it would do tlio most good. It will nfllrin that the opin ion of Mr. Garland whim lie was a United States senator , that the Rogers patents do not infringe the Hell patent , was secured in order to make the stock of the Pau-Klcclnc com pany saleable , that the ell'cct of that opinion was to lead many puoplo to buy the stock , and that Mr. Garland shated. In the proceeds of the snio of such stock. This report will give n comprehensive presentation of circumstances and de tails connected with the scheming of this speculative combination a part of which will be now , and which as indicated will not help the case of those engaged in or defending the Pau-KIuctrio jobbery. The report concludes , after it survey of the evidence , with the opinion that the solici tor general , acting in the absence of the attorney general , was by some means in cited to grant the application tinder which the suit of the Puu-Kloctric com pany against the Hell company was brought , and what more probable incit ing cause can bo .suggested than that he was apprised of the fact that Mr. Garland hold stock in the Pau-Kloctric company of the nomi nal value of about one million dollars , and would most likely not only approve of but bo well pleased with such action on the part , of his subordinate. It is perhaps true that Attorney Gen eral Garland know nothing , in his ollicial capacity , of the purpose of tlio Pan- Hleclrio company to use the department of justice to enable it to bring : v suit , in the name and with the support , of the government , against the ] iell company. Let hint have the bcnollt of the doubt on that point. But tl'o fact remains that Ills being the possessor of a largo block of Pan-Electric stock gave the company a standing and hearing in the department of which ho is the head that it would not otherwise have enjoyed , and that the cir cumstance of his owning this stock was an incentive to his subordinate to violate the practice of the department , and with most unseemly speed assent to the de mand of the company. Further more , if it bo allowed that there was nothing irregular or illegiti mate on tlio part of Mr.Garlaudm accept ing this stock under the circumstances in which it was given to him , it is still an entirely just judgment that knowing , as he must have known , tlio character and aims of this company , ho ought to have put the stock out of his hands when he ac cepted the position of attorney general. It is altogether n very scandalous mess , and it would have been well for the ad ministration and the country if President Cleveland had promptly removed the over zealous solicitor general and Mr.Garland could have found some reason satisfactory to himself for returning to private life. The Unfortunate Graduate. With the close of June comes the closing of the scholastic year in moat of our colleges and seminaries. As a con sequence the season is generally selected by the press as a proper time to adminis ter the discipline of ridicule to the young graduate , to inform him that his educa tion will prove of little practical value in the struggle of life , and that , all things considered , lie will find himself more se riously handicapped by tlio result of his four years' work than if lie had devoted the period to what is termed "practical education" m tlio school of life. His 'graduating theses are picked to pieces , his expressed hopes for rapid advance ment made objects of ridicule and ho is told , by implication at least , that ho is rather more of an ass than tlio average young man , and that the quicker ho dis covers the fact and changes the tone of hi ? mental system the bolter for nimsolf and the community. Much of this kind of talk , of which there is a good deal floating around in tlio press , is inero newspaper badiuago which is not believed by the editors or seriously considered by the public. It is the remnant of a traditionary con tempt for learning , a survival of old days when the three U'a were con sidered all that wore necessary m the way of an education to fit men for life. No such nonviction exists now or can exist with well informed men. In the words of a lending paper , "Tho very newspapers that write in this way every year have college men in the chief positions on their stall' , simply be cause , other things being equal , the man who has been educated in a college brings to bear upon the work of journal ism a bettor trained mind than his fol low , more quickly masters the work and fairly earns the best places in a profes sion in which , more than any other , actual .ability wins its way with cer tainty. " The young college graduate starts upon tliu actual work of life with very material advantages over those of his competitors who have not received a liberal education. Ho has gone through a course of inlultectuul gymnastics which has strengthened lis | mental muscles and trained them to activity , He has laid a foundation of acquire ment and culture upon which to build a superstructure , and though ho may for a time bo awkward in hand ling unaccustomed tools and has much to learn ho rapidly discovers that solid ac quirements and mental discipline never unlit a man of courage and perseverance for aspiring to the best rewards which the worja offers. Educated men RVO at par to-day , nnd newspaper wits are as fully aware of tlio fact as one of the largest mercantile houses in New York which ro cruita its forces year by year from the ranks of collegians. "It Is true that they are green at 'first1 ' recently said the senior ior partner , "but they learn faster than any others and get more quickly to the too , Business needs braiuu und educated brains are as nuu'.i better than these which Imve been undisciplined as thor oughbred horses are to scrubs on the race course at Rockaway Hoach. " J-or all this , ills true that the college graduate has much to learn , nnd it often Lakes him some time to discover tlio fact that though well prepared to begin the work of learning nnj' business , ho is not prepared to enter upon any as a fully equipped master workman. He Is Tli-etl. A. dispatch from Cincinnati states that Mr. John 11. McLean is endeavoring to sell the Enquirer property , and that a syndicate of wealthy men had been look ing it over , but owing to the high price nskcd had conclmlu'l not to buy at pres ent. The Enquirer has been one of the most enterprising newspapers of the country , and was believed loliavo a largo prosperity. When its present proprietor took control of the paper it was inferior in popularity ami in tlio general extent of its business to the Commercial , but it speedily went to the trout ns a news paper and grow in business and popular ity. That It is now found to have lost in popularity , and inferentially in busi ness , to such an extent that Mr. McLean SOCKS to part with it , may have a moral. The country has been imido more fa miliar during the past few years with Mr. McLean as n politician than as a journalist. Although identilied in the public mind as the directing force behind the Enquirer , he could not have had the notoriety ho achieved with out having put himsulf forward as n po litical manager , and this ho did with all the vigor anil earnestness that are char acteristic of him. Ho had an aspiration to sit in the United States senate an en tirely praiseworthy desire ami ho set to work with great energy to gratify it. Had ho sought the object of his ambition by entirely open and fair means he could have met inevitable defeat without n compunction of conscience or any loss of public estoom. Hut he chose rather in sidious , dark and tortuous ways , and the employment of unscrupulous mon and methods , No politician over marshaled in his cause a worse gang. For all that he or his henchmen did or attempted to do he made his paper nn aid and apolo' gist , not incidentally or casually , but with daily regularity. When at last his plans were defeated , and the light of day was lot in upon his crooked and unright eous work , the blow fell not alone upon him personally , but upon his instruments. The confidence that was withdrawn from him was taken also from his paper. The Enquirer is no longer a trusted authority as to anything in politics so far as its editorial opinions are concerned. Hav ing buried the journalist in the politician and abased tlio functions of the latter , in the fall that followed exposure McLean carried down with him the whole structure with which his name was identified , lie can have no further hope of personal preferment in Ohio for any position ; his inllucnco is gene ; he is pow erless to help a friend or injure a foe ; the men who served him such of thorn as nro out of jail no longer respect his authority. Little wonder is it , then , that Mr. McLean is tired and wants to get far away from the scenes that must ever painfully remind him of his faults , his follies , and his failures as a politician. The City Hnll. - ' ' Board of Public Works Reporting that no bids had been received for the construc tion of the foundation for the city hail. l'llo < l. City Council Proceedings. A good many people will naturally wonder wliy nobody has seen fit to bid for this work. But wo are not at all sur prised at it. Ever since the project to erect a city hall on upper I'arnam street was set on foot it has mot with persistent opposition from certain ollicial and officious quarters. All sorts of frivolous objections were raised last year against the location , the architect's plans , and tlio proposition to have tlio board of education join with the city in the enterprise. But the people by an overwhelming majority fixed the loca tion on the corner of Eighteenth and Farnam , and. approved the plans which the mayor and council had adopted. They also authorized the coun cil and board of education to expend any money which could bo raised in con formity to law. Acting upon this author ity , the hoard of education entered into a contract with the city by which 25,000 was to bo paid by the board towards the erection of the city hall. This amount , less the ! ? 000 paid out for grading the lots , was placed at the disposal of the city , with a view of expediting the work. Way back in February the council di rected the board of public works to adver tise for bids under tlio plans of K.K. Myers. No action whatever was taken under this order by the board of public works , Af ter the new council had organized in April , Chairman House was waited upon by members of the Fourth ward to ex plain why ho had disregarded the order of the previous council. They were in formed by Mr. House that there were some defects in the plans which had to bo corrected by the architect. Some fig ures in the details which ho regarded as essential were missing. Mr , House promised to send the plans back to the architect und have thorn corrected. About a month later the plans were re turned by the architect , but Mr. House took no stops to advertise ns required , and made no report to the council. In the middle of May the council adopted another resolution , instructing the board of public works to advertise for proposals for tlio construction of tlio basement alone. This order Mr. House ignored for about two weeks , and finally after buiug called upon by several mem bers of the nouncil ho did insert an ad vertisement which to say the least was very vague and indefinite. The design of the architect is for n stone building , but the choice of stone is loft with the council inul board of public works. Mr. House know.s enough to know that the proper course for the board is to axamino various kinds of building stone and decide - cido which would be most desirable. So iar lie has taken no stops in this direction , and contractors were not informed / formed in the advertisements or in tlio specifications what they were to bid upon. Neither did Mr. House take the trouble to define what part of the basement waste to be included in tint bid besides the outer walla. This is essential in order to en able the contractors to bid intelligently , Even these defects , however , would not hnro barred -out responsible bidders if Mr. House had not thrown cold water on .the whole enterprise by constantly in timating that they wonld only waste their time. They w'ero told In so many words that there would be no money to build the bnsonicnt uocausa the board of education would reconsider Its action and withdraw- the money , which it had already voted toward building the hall. Having dlsfcouriigcd ami frightened away the conlrn'ptnfrs ' , Mr House now comes to the council with tlio report that tliore are no bids , He is very prompt with his report , but lie was very tardy nnd Indill'eront about complj-imr with the orders of the council last winter - tor nnd spring. This attempt on the part of the chairman of thn board of pub lic works to thwart the will of the people ple , expressed through nn election , is rather a remarkable proceeding. The business of the board of public works is not to obstruct but to expedite public im provements. It is manifest that the city can gain twi'lvo months time by building thoba.sninunt this year. By delaying an other year half a dozen or moro blocks that are now projected on upper Farnam will bo hold haok by capitalists who are waiting for the city to begin its work. It remains to bo soon whether the council will submit to uncalled-for and ine.xcus- nblo obstruction of public works by any officer. Tin : city levy proposed for this year ? . - 10 mills. To outsiders this may seem an enormous tax rate. It will certainly im press strangers who are ignorant of our lax and shiftless methods of taxation as an outrageous imposition upon the tax payers. When the county and slate taxes are added , the total lax levy will foot up nearly if not quito seven per cent on the assessed valuation. This amount is more than the legal rate of interest in several of our states. Hut the high tax levy means to hundreds of wealthy tax shirkers an actual tax of scarcely one-half ot one per cent on the market value of the property assessed. No one in Omaha pretends to deny that the ag gregate assessment of Douglas county is barely a tenth of the actual value of the property listed for taxation. In real estate alone Omaha has more than a hundred millions invested. Five-sixths of the per sonal property within thuso corporate limits has entirely escaped the operations of the tax law. The high levy necessi tated by the wholesale evasion of taxation by wealthy capitalists , heavy properly owners and land syndicates is misleading and does not represent the facts. If property was properly assessed the same amount of revenue could bo raised by means of a levy which would appear us ridiculously small as the present seems enormously high. Double the money now available for municipal , county and states purposes could easily bo obtained , without our taxpayers feeling the burden , if the lax shirkers and perjurers wore brought to time by a ijigid and honest , as sessment. The revenue law must be changed at the next session of the legis lature. The present method of asses- mcnt has proved itself a harbor for tax evaders and an injul'y ' to all Nebraska cities , of which Omaha stands at the head. OMAHA'S progress continues to attract the attention of tlio loading newspapers of the country. Hardly a day passes that some mention is not made in the columns of the mctropoljtun , dailies about the growtli of this - . .cityWiiorevor one travels in any part of this country lie will hcarOmaha'talkoid ' about in the most. favorable manner ?

Tlio khan of Khiva is studying the subject of silk culture and manufacture , nnd Ims urn jected n visit to Lyons , Geneva and Milan for th Is purpose. The empress of Russia Is said to bo very anxious to bring about a match between her eldest son , the czarevitch , and one of the prince of Wales daughters , and she Is very tenderly attached to the pilucess , her sister. Alexander HI. of Russia , has not turned out the popular monarch that might have been expected from the advantaijoous cir cumstances under which ho ascended the throne. Ho has proved to bo too conscien tious , too much given to examining all the petty details of every question , so that lie cannot take broad views of things. The present king of Sweden is said to bo a very estimable man , a born artist , very re ligious , of an uprlcht disposition , and well meaning. Nevertheless , ho Is not entirely beloved , because when tamlly Interests como In contact with his nubile duties , the former nro pretty apt to carry the day , particularly when It is a question of money.

Holmes of Boston calls the at- Icnlmn of the Cleveland correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer to u ( incur state of allairs at the tomb of Lincoln , which he visited the day after Decoration day. " 1 found at tlio tomb " " , he says , "a fleshy man wearing no collar , but pos sessed of a manner of deep solicitude to get a fee of twcnty-fivo cents from each visitor , in fact , the place had been turned into a dune museum , except that tlic admission fco was a quarter instead of a dime. A poor man with three ladies ajul 11 child , who liatl come a Jon j way to visit tlio tomb of the m arty red president , , Was niUCh lakcii aback when toid that lie would have to pay a quarter apiece for the members of the party. He would no doubt have gene out , but there were strangers in the place and ho was ashamed to do so. He handed a dollar to the guide , who extended his hand and said : 'Twenty-live cents more , plonsn. You'll have to pay for that childTun poor man gave up a quarter more , and then , in an unpleasant fraiuo of mind , went through tlic tomb. "Part of it is devoted to tlio exhibition of relics , which the guard describes in an unchanging lingo : 'This from Philadel phia ; ' 'this from the box where Lincoln was shot ; ' 'those stains on it are Lincoln's bloods ; ' 'that was worn by an actress in the theatre where Lincoln was killed , and that is Lincoln's whiskers lottisr.I was curious to know what the whiskers letter was , and found upon inquiry that it was a missive penned by Lincoln to an artless little girl who advised him to shave off his beard. Having shown us through the museum , the guide took us into thu place whore tlio remains of tlio dead lio. Ho pointed out each compart ment with an explanation us to whosare mains lie thereand , with equal care to de tails , showed a vacant compartment with the assertion that 'that hole is for tliu body of Kobert Lincoln when he shall die. ' I confess that the whole nllair shocked mo. Thu man is not to blame. Ho is employed , as I understand , by thu monument association. The citizuns have protested against tliu arrangement to no effect. The monumennt trustees argue that it costs money to keep up the menu ment. " Making Honors Kasy. Estclline Bell : The next day nftor a man moved into n town in western Dakota tlio mayor called on him nnd said : "Just arrived from the cast , i hoar ? " "Yes. " "Believe your name is Jones ? " "That's it. " "No title , I suppose ? " "None. " "Of course you will want ono now , but PII toll you just how it is : wo haven't ' got much left to select from. Wo limit each title to live persons and we already have live colonels , live senators , live governors , five judges and so on. We aren't quite full of majors or commodores , however , nnd you can take your choice. " " \Vcll. if its customary I believe 1'Jl take major. " "All right , major.
