THE strike which Oniahn will welcome
with supreme satisfaction is a strike of
natural gas on the bottoms.
Tun tender solicitude of the paving
contractor for ch.uijrps in the charter to
protect the city's interest is enough to
draw tears from a .stono wall.
la Omaha's boom to continue ? The
answer depends upon the passage or do-
font of thn now charter \\lnoh piovidea
for continued public improvements and
the extension of the city limits.
Unsmrss property in this city contin
ues to advance steadily and surely. Tlio
sure foundation of the solidity of the
boom is found in the increasing values of
city lots purchased for permanent im
provements.
AN appropriation of $100,000 for en-
Inrging the Omaha post odico has been
Kcnured In the henato by Ocsnoral Man-
dorson. An appropriation for enlarging
the force would ( ill a still greater and
long felt want.
So i'AK this year the lailroad mileage
constructed is about two and one-hall
times ns great as that of the correspond
ing period of I8SO. There are many well
Informed persons \vho believe that 1887is
destined to pass all former years in the
matter of railroad building , and the dan
ger is rather that too much instead of too
llttlo track-laying will be done in the
hoxt twelve months. More moderate
work now would lessen thu disastious
forcu of the iDilution which is likely to
tallow.
THK announcement tlmt Mr. Manning
is to retire fioin the cabinet has given
rise to reports that a general reorganiza
tion of that body is to take plaeo. The
return of Mr. Peudleton from Germany
was an Incident , which was mndo to play
Its part in this connection , Those reports
have taken various forms , no two being
( ustaliko. This eiicunut.utco is of itself
-tnougli to cast a doubt upon their credi
bility , oven if it were not stated upon
what appears to 1m very good authority
that the president is entirely satislied
with his associates in the government
nud IMS no desire or disposition to patt
with any oi thum. The two men whom
these- reports indicated as most likely to
retire , Hayanl and Oaf-land , arc said to
bo quite as strong in thu conlidonco of
thu president as they have over been , eras
as nny of the other members of the
cabinet aro. The public eiltioisms of
these oflicials have had no ctl'ect upon
Mr , Cleveland , unless it lias been to
strengthen his regard for them ,
which might bo u natural re-
Biilt in view of his opinion of
"tho press. Moreover , Mr , Hajard
doesn't want to get out of the cabinet
and Mr. Garland doesn't intend to. This
is doubtless the correct statement of the
Ituntion. so that the only change will bo
In the treasury , and in making that it is
understood that tlio president will not be
unmindful of his duty to hlmsulf. That
it to say , the successor of Manning must
'not only bo a Cleveland man , hn > t , last
fcnd all the tnno , but one who can b -f
oiuo service in that relation. '
Tlio Pension Vote.
President Cleveland's veto of the in
valid pension net which passed both
houses of congress by heavy majorities ,
will subject him to general and well de
served criticism. The bill proposed to
secure to ex-soldiers nnd sailors of the
late war and dependent parents who arc
unnblu to earn a Hying a monthly pen
sion of $13. It was designed to relieve
local communities from the burden ol
caring for \clerans in absolute want nutl
to throw upon the general go\crnmcnl
which they had preserved the
responsibility of caring for the
needs of the nation's defenders ,
The sentiment of the countrj
hail been fully canvassed as to the meas
ure. It had been warmly debated inbotli
houses of congress and the full scope and
bearing explained and understood ,
President Cleveland's veto comes ns n
direct slap In the face to thousands ol
npcdi vctciausnnd as an Insult to con
gress , 'llio causes assigned for his action
will bo received as an adequate explana
tion of his course. The fear that fraud
and lying will mnko thu amount called
for greatly ' ONCCSS of the estimates 1
an unwarrantable assumption of bad ad'
ministration of the pension olllcc ,
whose opeiation Mr. Cleveland
himself conttols by appointment ,
That frauds arc possible under any law ,
lion oor beneficent or necessary , may
re.ullly bo admitted. I5ut it is the mark
of able administration of thu law thai
such frauds be mndo diflicult of execu
tion and the swindlers piomptly brought
to jiMieo. Such a possibility calls foi
increased safe guaids , not fora refusal
to pass laws which may bo distorted
from their object. If the Delusion olllcc
is not properly administeied Mr. Cleve
land has it in his power to place it in
hands where the government's interest
will bo more cnietully guarded. Tin
proper tomcdy does not lie in curtailing
the woi k of the ollico.
Year by year the country is piling [
an cnoimous surplus wrung from the ex
orbitant tariff taxation of the siillciine
masses. In face of the failure to sccuiu
relief , the application of the surplus tc
pension payments which places the
money secured by taxation again m cir
culation among the people booms to be < i
wise public policy.
l'tho .Horror.
The fearful aeeidcut on the Vcrmonl
Contial has been the international topic
of comment during tlio week. The oil-
gm of the disaster by which eightj
human beings lost their lives is still
shrouded m mystery. Whether by si
broken rail , a biokon a\lo or a broken
w hod no one knows or can ever know ,
But by one or moio of these causes twc
passenger cars and two sleepets left the
track upon n wooden bridge across n
rapid river , and fell some CO feet to the
river bed , and then catching lire from
the stoves and lamps bhucd up as swiftlj
as n btusli heap , caught the age-seasoned
bridge in flames and cut of ]
all hope of rcscuolor the unfortunate in
mates. It was a holocaust unparalleled
since tlio Ashtabula horror of 1870.
Something should bo learned from it. It
is generally conceded that the clangor ol
the bridge was entirely unnecessary. It
was wooden and old , a trestle witboul
gimids and strained by years of use. The
iron bridges now in use on all well
equipped roads are furnished with n
guard rail on the outside of the track on
cacti side which prevents ears from leav
ing the track even if derailed while on
the bridge. Had there been such a rail
on the Vermont bridge the accident
could not have happened. The fearful
plunge into the ravine of the
White river would never have occurred ,
Guard rails on all railroads should bo en
forced by law. This is one lesson of the
disaster. Another lesson which cannot
bo too quickly learned is that the meth
ods of heating and lighting cars must be
changed at once all over the country
Some mode of steam or chemical heating
must bo adopted. Wood or coal stoves ,
whether open or boxed in iron grating ,
should bo banished. No matter what tin
inconvenience to the companies the
change must bo made. Scvoial New
England roads already practice steam
heating. Othois should bo made to fol
low suit. The use of kotosone lamps foi
lighting cars is oven fess excusable
Electric lights have been perfected se
that they can bo introduced without dlt
liculty. The Pennsylvania roads already
have them.
Verdi's LmtCHt Triumph.
At the ago of nearly seventy-three
years , Gmsoppo Verdi , the great com1
poser , has just achieved one of the mosl
notable triumphs of his remarkable
career. On the evening of the 5th in
stant , at the theatre Delia Scala , Milan ,
his now opera "Otollo" was given if
Hist presentation , with thu most pro
nounced success. The event had been
announced for several weeks , and there
was a great audience present , both as tc
si/o nnd character. Verdi is to Italj
what Wagner was to Germany , nnd nol
ohly in the "land of song , " but in musi
cal circles throughout Ihiropo the pro
duction of this opera was regarded as
the gioat musical event of the decade ,
There wcro consequently in attendance
composers , librettists , critics , managers
anil nuiiical devotees from every capital
and music center of Kiuopu No more
critical or intellectual audience , it is
said , was over bioiight together in Ln
Scala to approve or condemn a now
opoiu , and having given its most on-
thusiastio approval , haing demonstrated
its boundless pleasure by calling Yoidl
out twenty-six times before the con
clusion of the opera , crowning him
at lust with a vvicath of laurel amidst
an unexampled ovation , thcro cannot be
a question that grand ope-ra has received
another great acquisition. The verdict
tendered at La Seala raiuly failb to be
the verdict of thu world.
Having its { aspiration in one of Sink-
spearo'u greatest tragedies , the now
opera possesses a peculiar interest for all
English speaking people It docs not ,
however , follow strictly the course of the
tracedy , being in sonio portion.- vvulc
departure from it , but the motive la dis
tinctly preserved , and wo judge from the
description given of the operu that the
student of ShnKspoaro will liiul no dull-
cutty in discovering the bourco of the in
spiration. Musically the great composer
is said to have mttdu n distinct ascent to-i
ward a higher piano than any which lie
has hitherto reached. He iias abandoned
the conventional forms of old Italian
oporu Mid created his work on an en
tirely diflerout plan. The score is written
with remarkable freshness of invention ,
and notwithstanding his daring evolu
Verdi tins sustained the Italian na
tionality of his work. The well
known qualities ol his genius
are made apparent , though in
a more brilliant light than heretofore.
The orchestration , says no less an nu
thotity than llio great tenor , Unmpnulnt ,
is ono bright jewel of musical art.
The eminent maestro whoso latest tri
umph seems to bo his greatest , gave tils
first opera to the world forty-eight years
ago. nnd a total of twenty-nine operr.s
make the record of his genius , lie has
had his failures , but much of his work is
Imperishable. The operas by which ho
is best and most widely known are "Ir- ]
nani , " "Rigolctto. " "IPTrovatoro. " "La
Traviata , " "Un Hallo in Maschcra" and
"Aida , " nil of whch ) , if not sure of im-
niorlntit } ' . will hold the stage for gonor-
ntlons to come.
1 lie Coniinc of I'nttf.
The announcement of a grand operatic
concert to bo given at the exposition build
ing on Thursday evening , February S4th ,
byAelcllna Pattl and the distinguished ar
tists associated with her , will bo most cor
dially welcomed bythocitl/ensof Omaha.
It will be ono of the distinctively notable
musical events m the experience of this
community , and In respect at least to the
peerless artiste who maintains her pro-
cininnneo with undimmed glory it pre
cludes all comparisons. The piivilegc of
hearing the supremely gifted Pnttl ts ono
the value of which cannot bo measured
by any other mu ieal experience , how
ever largo and varied it may have been
The opportunity will not come to us
again , ns > the gre'at hingor is under
stood to have lirmly decided not to ru-
turn to tills country after she has com
pleted her present engagement. It is of
couise superfluous to refer to this illus
trious nitisto with the elaboration neces
sary to introduce the comparatively un
known singer. The triumphs of Adolina
Pattl have filled the wotld with her fame ,
anel wherever there is knowledge ot
music her name is known. Other crcat
singers come and gone , winning Heeling
glory or imperishable fame , but thoio
was no one among them all who could
justly claim tlio crown of Adolina Pattl.
tier's has indeed been a maivelous
career , and it is not the least wonderful
pntt of itthnt her superlative gifts aic
unimpaired and that she is still uncom-
naiably gical.
The artists associated with Patti ateof

Galassi , bantonc , and Pianco Kovara ,
basso , arc experienced nnd admirable

conductor.
Mit. RANDALL , "is chairman of the
house appiopnations committee , prac
tically controls the fate of themeasuies
providing for coast defenses , and lliero is
bald to bo some anxiety felt as to his
probable action regarding them. It was
stated some dnjs ago that Kandall was
very favoiably disposed towuul a gen-
cious appropriation for defense , paitly
for the reason that his constituents de
sire it , but there apueais now to bo n
gooel elcal of doubt about his position ,
with a fear that no may oppose a large
appropriation. Very much depends
upon how Mr. Randall shall interpret
the popular feeling , and whether ho can
see his way to make capital out of the
matter for himself. The motives nnd
conduct of Randall are directed under
all circumstances by llio one considera
tion of self.

"So YOU want to know something about
the Council Bluffs boom'.1' ' sild a Council
BlulTs Kcutlcman who was In Omaha je-ster-
day. "Well , It Is certainly n pleasant sub
ject for us Bluffers to talk about. The boom ,
ns It Is called , Is very peculiar , and has Its
pathetic side. Something like eighteen or
twenty jcats ago Council BlulTs started out
with brighter pie pects than nnv cltj In this
part of the cptintiy. It was a greit omit
ting point , doing a laigo business , and
widely known. Then followed the tedious
fight with Omaha as to supiemacy nnd the
Inithl point and transti'i of the Union Pa
cific laihoad. The Initial point controvcisj
was nominally decided in favor of
Council BlulK but as a matter of fact
Omaha retained neatly all the substantial
bniieliK Property was very high In Council
BlulTs at that time , and It was pin chased
liugolyby persons of means , who to a cer
tain extent have been hanging on to it all
theseears , nnd never been nblo to icall/.o
nuj thluc on It. They became property poor
as n consequence. As an Instance , take the
case ota widow who has been In very moder
ate circumstances since the unfavoiablo
tin n of nflnird ) ears a.o. bho owned blxtj
acres ot land on the bottoms. Only a few
vvpoks ngo it was unsliable virtually good
lei nothing. It would not have biouglit over
f'-.OOO it a purchaser could 1m o
been lonnd. It was only a few
davs ago that she was offered
Sb.OOO for it. That alone will make
her affluent for life. List fall two butchers
bought some land on tlio bottom to bo used
ns a coiral for theli cattle. They paid foi It
only a few hundred dollais The othoi day
thevsolit It Iorjj3..000. These are only two
of a great many similar Instiuces. There
have been great numbers ot persons who had
property spattcied about , but It was unsalable.
Alter this boom sttuck the city they have had
no trouble whatevoi to realize far in excess of
any expectations they may have eycr had.
* . * *
"The Council BlulTs leal estate boom was
first started by an Omaha man , Mr. X.
Meiriam , who not long ngo purchased the
Catholic church property lor S2" ,000 , w hlch
ntthat tnno was conslduied a icmarkably
high liguic. Citl/cus In Council BlulTs won-
duied how ho was going to get his money
bick. Ho piuclia ed other propeity oil
Bro-uhvay. When it was dlscoveied that
substantial and responsible citlyensol Omaha
were buying propeity In Council Bluffs the
people of that city commenced to think that
there mipht bo something In It.
Then the bridge project was revived ,
ana It was believed that the whole boom was
based on Omaha's movements. It was
thought that If piopcrty in Omaha was really
worth anj thing llko whit It Ins been selling
for during the last eighteen months , that
pioperty on the east side of the river , situated
within less than three miles tiom the heart
ot Oniahn , was ridiculously cheap. Other
Omaha capitalists besides Air. Mcrrlam be
gan purchasing property , nnd the Items as
published in the newspapers attracted the at >
tmitlon of capitalists In Davc'npoit , Des
Molnes and other cities , who sent represen
tatives to Council BlutTs ! to nnke investments
tor them , and to day there are
bujcrs from a laigo number ot other
towns , including bhcnandnah , Hamburg ,
Sioux Citv and Cedar Itnphls , with autlioi-
ity to invest In real estate The result Is
that propeity on the bottoms , which two or
three weeks ago sold tor less than 8200 per
acre Is to day readily bringing fiom 31,000 to
Sl.COOpcrncie , and In nnny instances be-Ing
mid for in cash. Ono syndlcato ot Council
BhitTs and Omaha men bought a tract of
eighty acres for S0,000 , and the next day
they wore offered 3150,000 lor it. This boom
began on the bottoms , and has extended to
town property nnd farms. Ono farm near
the city lately sold for 675,000.
*
*
"Thero have been more transfers of prop ,
crty In Council Blntls during the past two
weeks than there have been during tlio past
twenty j ears. The boom seems substantial.
It Is now thought that If Omaha Is to become
avety large ana wealthy city , as It gives
eveiy promise of doing , with a first-class
bridge Detween the two cities , It would bo
Impossible for Council Bluffs not to bo
Inrgflly benclltted nnd share her prosperity.
Thu Jcaloii'.y so long felt by the citizens of
Council Bluffs has been entirely dissipated
by thcli recent good fortune , they buying the
good FOIISO to rcall/o that Omaha cannot
Krowvuthmit aiding them to a/eitalu extent.
" * ' * *
KlnrWtT has buna liifiTied"iiito'tlie city.
Broadway Is to be paved clear to the river ,
thus giving n continuous nud direct payed
tlioroughfnie to Omaha. Tlio bridge will
certainly follow. Two or three men own
about a mile of propeity on each sldo of
Bioadway , and thuy , of course , will pay lor a
largo pait of the proposed paying. A street
car line Is to bo built to Lake Manawa , which
has become n summer bathing resort. It Is
scitloil be ) end question that nil the roads
centering In Council Bluffs are to haven
union depot , n depot company having been
foi mod with General Dodge ns president.
This depot will bo built tlm coming season
nndwillbn ready for occupancy by fall , A
large , first class hotel Is to ba built either
ou the pre-ent site of the Pacific hotel , re
cently purchased by n syndicate for § 30,000 ,
or on U'oodbury's corner near the park ,
*
v *
"Tho bottom property between the rlty
and the river Ims never been overllowed but
once , about five years ago. The water did
not , ns many suppose1 , back up from the
river , but oveillowed from Big Kake , north
of the city. A ) ear or t\so after tlie o\ci-
llow the city expended about live thousand
dollars on a levee , and the council has just
passed an ordinance providing for Its com
pletion. This lev ce will render It Impossible
for an overflow to occur aain.
*
*
"Ono of the muu who Is assisting in the
Council Bluff * boom Is Mr. Benson , who Is
lioavlly Interested In Omaha real estate deals.
Ho Is ono of the men who owns a
largo tract of land along Broadway
on the bottoms , and who will , there
fore , contribute heavily to the paving of
that street , which IB to bo fifty-six Jeet wide ,
Another rrrau who U taking a very active part
Is Mr. llvans , a caplhllst , 1 unflorstnnd
tlmt tlio Omaha street cnr folks , paitlculnrly
.Messrs , Murphy , Claik and Mnrsh , and also
Mr. Guy C. Barton , nnd the cable comrauy ,
mo ( roing to assist In pushing tlio new
bridge project. So jou see that overj thins
Is combining to clvo Council Bluffs n great
lift along with Omaha.
"By the way of a llltlo reminiscence It may
Interest nnny of the new comers to bo In
formed tint until the completion ol
Union Pacific biHRe , in the spring of lS7f
the Council Bluffs street railway lan down
Broadway clear to the river , the terminal
point being nbout opposite Douglas street , In
Omaha. The Iowa rallvvavs all ran to the
same point , conncctlnz with the ferry boats ,
four In number , by which the transfer of pas
sengers and freight was made. ' 1 ho channel
of the river was then nearly half aiuilo
farther east than It Is now. The channel
changed In Ib70. When the Union Pacific
brldco was completed the ferry transfer was
ot course , abandoned , nnd the * rnllwnjs
pulled upthcirtincks and connected with thg.
Union Pacific at Spoon Lake. "
"Tun real estate boom nt Los AncotcCali

Bell , who recently leturned from n visit to

solved If the Union Pacific folks would extend -

fully agreed with me , but added that It took

' A KniiHiiH Opinion ,
Qrincviu.i : , Kan. , Teb. 11 To Iho
Editor of the Ili'.r. : The defeat of Senator
Van \Vyok has cast a deep feeling of sorrow
row all over northwestern Kansas. It
was the wish of all honest minded men
that ho would bo his own successor , but
the triumph of treachery and ftaud will
bo short lived. It will bo a disgrace to
the fair name of Nebraska if tlio people
allow the legislature ) renegades to go
without just lebuko. The people of this
section would give them 'a practical re
minder of tlioir unfaithfulness.

r.uCm , Nob. , i'ob. 11.-To the
Editor of the lir.i : ; I find after a sonio-
what extended tiip over Richardson

who are the constituents of our loglMa-
tors , that the action of thu latter In aid
ing and abetting the defeat of Hon.
Charles II. Van Wyck , tlio people's
choice , is openly and frankly denounced.
It was the people who w 010 beaten and
Senator Van Wyck , though robbed of
his re-election , has to-day mote political
htronglh in lUohardbon county than any
man in the state. ' 1 hu day is not far dis
tant vvhcn his voice will again ho hcaul
in thu lending councils of thu nation.
While treachery and unscrupulous use of
money by railroad corpointions may
dominate for a time , it is only stliring up
wrath for the coming of that day of
wrath when a burst of popular indigna
tion will sweep coirupt parlies and
rings from existence I fear republican
ism in our county is dead in fact many
hitherto btiong party men have now
changed its name to "monopoly party. "
This seems to bu very appropriate in the
light of the late senatorial outiago nt
Lincoln. Our representatives in the
piosunt legislature were- instructed by
the voice ami votes of their constituents
to support General Van Wyok , but the
record docs not show a single vote for
him. While we would like to honor
them , it is impossible to honor that which
is not honorable. A creature gifted with
reason cannot kiss the hand uplifted
against it. The people mndn their
choice for Unit-id States senator legally
and by the moat jucrca means Americana
nnd freemen oniov , but our rppte.ont.v
lives have robbed them of Iheir rights
and forced upon them n hitherto chief of
monopoly. A CONSTITTKNT. w

our lust election was conducted. The
majoiity of all parties was in favor of
VmiWvck , but alas ; the people of our
vicinity have been sold to Iho highest
bidder. They have buen betrayed. It
was thought the wishes of the people
would have been lespected by our sup

for senator. Our lopicsentativo was
busy with hoaduis with Van Wyek's

I\Ir. \ W. W. Phelloo of Ayr. Neb. , writes
that Senator-elect Paddoel ; is not really
the father of the timber ciiltuic act , but
that the cicdit belongs to tlio late ex-Sen
ator P. W. Hitchcock. In this connec
tion ho giv es u history of the bill until it
became a law. Ho says that in the
winter of 1872 a petition to congress was
drawn up and signed by residents of al
most every county in Nebraska. It was
for the repeal of the me emption laws
and the passage of a timber culture act
in IIPU theieot. Ihe latter was in sub
stance that any person could enter ono
( piaiter section ot go\ eminent land ,
natuially devoid of timber under a timber
culture act , providing that they should
"bieak up" toi ty nen s of said one quar
ter section anel cultivate the s ime one or
more years ; then plant to foiesl tiees ,
four fool apart each way ; to cultivate )
and caio for thu tices until eight
years from date of ontiy ; then the ontiy-
innn should bo entitled to a patent for 1UO
acres. This petition was put into the
hands of the late Senator Hitchcock early
m 187IJ. Mr. Philleo svys it was never
piosunled to congress , alleging as n
cause that the lailroad.s did not want llio
pio-omption laws repealed us then "they
could not hire men to pre-empt land for
them to locate towns on nud got titles in
six months or less time as they were
doing by fraud and pel jury. "
Senator Hitchcock did name a timber
culture net which paised botli houses of
congress and beu.inioa law Mai oh 3.187U.
That law requited forty acres on
oieh 100 aeto tinct lo ba
planted to lorust trees and that
they should bo twelve foot apart , thus
lessoning the number of liccs icqtiircd
to bo planted. Mi. Philleo ways "Had
Mr. Hitchcock seemed the lopeal of the
pic-ciuption laws at that tiincL'tnd Com
missioner Sparks would not have had so
much trouble ou his hands with land
thloves , etc , " Mr. Paddock entoied tlio
senate in March 1H75 , Thu timber culture
net had been a law for two years and had
been amended in thu winter of 1871. Hu
further amended the aet by requiring
only ( ou acres of thu 1(10 ( to bu planted to
timber , which is all Senator Paddock had
to do with it.
