OMAHA real estate arithmetic consists

HOSTON recently bought a base ball
player , Mr. Kelly , for $15,000 , and now
Philadelphia oilers $9,000 for Mr Lntham
of the St. Louis Browns. Base ball ma
terial seems to bo having as much of a
boom as Omaha real estate.
HENKY WAKD DKKCHKK was a great
money maker. During his lifo lie earned
$1,250,000 , nearly every cent by brain
work. Ho did not , however , leave more
than $150,000 , owing to his generosity ,
poor judgment , extravagance , and care
lessness in business matters.
Tun latest soismlc disturbance has oc
curred at Lincoln. The charges pre
ferred In the house by Mr. llosowator nro
something of an earthquake shock to the
parties interested. An investigation has
been ordered , and the DKE has reason to
believe that Mr. Rosewater will bo able
to prove his charges of bribery and cor
ruption. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
WE have no disposition to influence
the course ot justice in the Lauor murder
trial. Wo do , however , regard the con
duct of Deputy Sheriff Phillips , in his of
ficial connection with the Lauor case , as
very improper. Mr. Phillips' partiality to
the accused has laid him 1 iablo to sus
picions which arc not at all creditable to
nn oflicial in his position.
ALFKED SULLY , who has become ono of
the most prominent railroad men of the
country , is a native of Davenport , Iowa ,
and passed the first half of his lifo in that
state , llo was a lawyer in his native
town when ho iirst met Austin Corbin ,
who was u banker there , and who is now
also conspicuous in railroad circles. The
experience of the former as a corporation
lawyer and of the latter as n financier
made a useful combination of talents
which these two men have employed
greatly to their mutual advantage , and
after a number of years they are still
found pulling together. Of the two ,
Sully is esteemed the abler in railroad
manipulation , and inferentially the more
unscrupulous , though Corblu does not
lag far behind.
Tuu Bnu recently referred to the
"grand army of vagabonds and bum

upon a country idiot assailed the BKI : for
having attacked the Grand Army of tlio
Republic. The other day the BKK , in a
local article on Omaha characters , re
ferred to Whisky Jack and the policemen -
mon , Incidentally calling the latter the
boys in blue , owing to tholr uniform ,
Straightway an enlisted idiot at Fort
Omaha rushes into print and charges thn
ltii : : with assailing the boys of the army ,
These two incidents are certainly amus

intelligence ot the mon who have taken
exceptions to the BEK'S expressions.
G. M. HITCHCOCK , who foots the dofl
cloncy bill of the World with the monoj
loft him by his father , finds fault with tlu
sBKR in not mentioning his paper in tlu
tatomont of comparative circulations
The fact is that G. M. Hitchcock's papoi
is of so little consequence that wo on
tlroly overlooked it. To satisfy the amateur
atour , however , wo will now state thai
the circulation of the Br.E is ncarlj
double the combined circulation of tlu
Ifcruld , Jtcpiiblican , World and Lincoln
Journal. The HUE'S city circulatlor
is four times that of the World am
about double that of tlu
Jtcpublican and World put to
gother. The circulation of the BEE
always steadily increasing , lost wcel
averaged 14,330 , the Omaha circulatlor
averaging 0,605. In the city of Omalu
alone , as wo stated yesterday , the gnlr
made by the BEE during the past year , it
larger than the total olty circulation ol
any other Ouiuhn dally.
Grave
Charges affecting the integrity of mem
bers of the house judiciary committee
have been formally presented to the
house of representatives. The commit
tee to investigate tlioso charges , with
power to send for persons and papers ,
has been appointed by the speaker. In
view of the fact that the action of the
house is based upon a communication
from Its editor , the BEE is not in
position to discuss its scope at this
time. Sufllco it to say that the
primary object of this procedure
is to put an end to a dis
graceful state of affairs. Tlio present
legislature has bcon beset by the most
reckless and venal lobby that has ever
infested the state capital. Its corrupt
Interference with law-making has been
audacious and demoralising. The bill
making gambling a felony has afforded
these political freebooters another chance
to levy blackmail on the ono hand and
divide the spoils with venal members.
The raid on the gamblers two years ago
with the same bill had proven a bonanza
for the jobbers in and out of the legis
lature. It was natural that the leeches
should attempt the same methods this
timo. The judiciary committee of the
house happened to be made up in part of
men who were in close communication
with the worst elements of the lobby.
They had tasted of the forbidden fruit in
the oil rooms , and hungered for a division
with King Faro. Their rapacity could
only bo thwarted by exposure. In at
tempting to purge itself of this contam
inating influence the legislature Is only
making an honest effort to preserve its
own reputation.
"Whither Are U'c
It has been made a question among
thoughtful men whether this republic
will continue indefinitely. It is won
dered if it will not , like other common
wealth * and empires , have its brief day
and then through anarchy or despotism
be broken into fragments and take other
forms of government. When the "declar
ation" was published to the irorld and a
written constitution made the basis of
national policy , not a statesman could bo
found in all Europe who was willing to
risk his reputation by saying the now
republic would last longer than thrco
generations of men. It is true that the
nation has lived twice that length of
timo. It has gone through all the dan
gers that threaten the older nations of
the world , and to-day Is stronger by the
ordeal through which it has passed. But
all this is attributed to the wonderful
prosperity which has attended the people
of the union. Wo are no longer a nation
in its infancy. Wo have the evi
dences of maturity a national debt
and the tramp. Five millions of
people have grown to sixty millions.
In art , science , literature , wealth and
skill , wo , in our century of growth , have
kept abreast with the world. We arc apt
to boast of this of our liberties , our po
litical inlluonco among the nations , and
to fancy that the republic will bo able to
llourish to the last syllable of recorded
timo.
The basis of the republic Is eternal just
ice and the will of the people. As the
years have run ou we have depaitcd from
the faith the simplicity and virtue of
our fathers. Corruption stalks abroad at
noonday. Violence , in many places , sup
plements the avarice of the itching palm ,
and too often wo hear the justified remark
that our liberties are only a boasted sham.
The reports of a demoralized and po
litically rotten legislature como from Cal
ifornia. Minnesota law-makers wore
bribed and influenced by railroad corpo
rations and all legislation favoring the
people was entirely blocked. In short ,
reports from half the states in the
union say that such generally de
moralized crowds of men never assem
bled to go through the farce of playing
lawmakers. Hordes of boodlers and
bribo-givers flocked to each capital. Our
Nebraska legislature furnishes but a
sample of thorn all , where the ruffian and
the dead-beat , the blackguard and the
bully , the demagogue and the adventurer
with whisky and money sot at doOanco
all law and right. For the protection of
our boasted liberties Cincinnati has a
"committee of ono hundred" comprising
the most reputable citizens of the place.
San Francisco was compelled to organize
a vigilance committee to protect the city
from the jobbery of those holding posi
tions of trust and honor. New York and
Chicago nro just now attempting to rid
themselves of public plunderers. Shall
those things continue ? If so , what is to bo
the ultimate result ? If the men who are
to make the laws sell their very souls , the
situation really looks serious. The
foundation of our government made
rotten with corruption , must cause the
whole fabric to fall and something must
bo done.
A Prosperous Spring.
The annual boom experienced in Ne
braska with the opening of spring has
already begun. The unusually pleasant
days of March this year haye resulted in
marked activity. For the past two weeks
reports have como from all sections oj
the state tolling of the rush of homo-
seekers and Investors. Emigrants from
the cast and from neighboring states
have crowded the trains on the various
lines of roads traversing Nebraska , and
household goods , farming implements
and stock are reported to bo arriving by
the train load. From both the north
western and southwestern counties
conies the news of the unusual influx oi
population , with prospects of still a
larger increase when the weather becomes
comes more settled. Unoccupied lands
are being rapidly taken up , and in sec
tions where immigration committees
exist they are having their hands full.
The boom is not alone confined to the
country , but the cities , as a natural con
sequence , also feel the impetus of the
increase in the outlying growth. Towns
are filling up with tradesmen and me
chanics , largo public Improvements are
being made , railroads are extending
their lines into heretofore unoccupied
territory , nnd real estate values are con
stantly hardening. With every letter to
the BEE from the interior cities of the
state como assurances of substantial
prosperity and growth. Grand Island ,
Hustings , Fremont , Beatrice , Sutton ,
Fairbury , So ward , Loup City and Craw
ford are the latest Nebraska points to
record their marvelous prosperity m our
columns , nnd the showing they make is
ono of which each and every one of
them may well be proud. Those , how
ever , arc only instances of the unexam
pled wave of progress which is sweeping
over the entire stato. The coming month )
will show no diminution of Its force , but
will record its ownward march.
The Delayed Itnltrond Deal.
Financial and railroad circles in the
cast are still deeply interested in tlio Hal-
: lmore & Ohio deal , the aspects of which
.iavo changed somewhat smco the failure
of the original syndicate to meet the
requirements of its option. The present
status of the project is not clearly defined ,
but there scorns to bo no doubt that ltia ] the
desire of Garrctt to dispose of the road ,
though his wish is not so strong as to induce -
duce him to part with it on any other
than the most advantageous terms. The
explanation is th.it ho is tired of the great
responsibility and labor which the man
agement of the corporation devolves on
him , but thcro are intimations that his
administration has not been so success
ful as outside appearances have indi
cated , and tiiat tlio present may bo u
more favorable time to unload than
would some period In the future. The
enterprise of Mr. ( iarrctt has been broad
and brilliant , but it has also bcon ex
pensive. It is said that the company has
millions of bonds which arc on nonproductive
ductive sections , and the entire interest
account is so cnormoiu that if
the whole system is now conserva
tively managed its li\od charges
will cat it up. Some knowledge of this
state of affairs , and a desire to get more
information as to the actual condition of
the compaiii' , are understood to have
had much to do with the failure of the
original syndicate to meet its option.
\Vhat other negotiations are now afoot
is largely a matter of conjecture , but it is
not impossible that Sully and his asso
ciates will again make themselves mani
fest In connection with the deal. The
president of the Richmond Terminal is
not a man to be easily baflled , as his past
achievements in railroad absorption
amply attest. The Richmond Terminal
is an octopus of almost unrivalled rapac
ity. It was organized in 1880 and has an
unlimited charter from the state ot Vir
ginia. It was created for the solo pur
pose of buying railroads , and acted first
in thn interest of the Richmond & Danville -
villo road. In this relation twelve con
necting lines wore purchased nnd it be
came in time a formidable rival of the
corporation responsible for its existence.
Last your it absorbed the Richmond &
Danville. Later the Terminal syndi-
calo reached out and captured the
East Tennessee system , and subse
quently plans wcro entered unon for
swallowing up the Central railroad of
Georgia. Having attained its desires in
the south , this aggressive syndicate
looked northward nnd laid its plans for
nn entrance into New York. The bank
rupt New Jersey Central , with the ono
valuable franchise of its New York ter
minus , appeared to ofler the opportunity ,
but there wore rivals for this franchise ,
nnd the Baltimore it Ohio secured the
concosiions sought for by the Terminal.
To secure the Jersey Central rights by
tlio purchase of the Baltimore & Ohio
road is believed to have boon the chief
incentive to the pending negotiations. But
whatever the purposes , the grasping
policy of the Terminal syndicate will not
bo defeated by a single repulse , and the
ultimate accomplishment of its design
cannot yet bo regarded as improbable.
Meanwhile those having interests in tha
Baltimore & Ohio which the corporations
may bo compelled to respect are watch
ing the progress of events with earnest
solicitude.
A Good Lesson Well Taught.
A very curious case was tried at the
Essex market court in New York , last
week. Arthur Brunswick , an American
District messenger boy , with the frequent
examples of stock conspiracies and com
binations by the capitalists in Wall
street to incite him , thought it no wrong
to form n combination with the other
boy messengers and strike for bettor
wages. Just us certainly as public mo
rality , and in many cases statute law ,
condemns corners and combinations in
stocks and food by which the people nro
robbed as effectually , though not with the
courage of the old highwayman's meth
ods , so certainly has the law everywhere
declared the right of employe * peace
fully to associate , that by organi/ation
they may receive- the just wages for their
labor which experience has shown are BO
often denied to individual application.
The American District company , which
is controlled by that gigantic monopoly ,
the Western Union Telegraph company ,
of course , soon got wind of the boys'
move , and instead of inquiring into the
justice of their claims and granting them ,
hired other boys as spies to join the juve
nile union and betray its secrets. This
of itself was a crime against youth and
morality , It was planting deceit and
treachery in tluj hearts of boys , the fruit
of which in later lifo would logically be
the development of full grown criminals.
In dismissing the case and ordering
Brunswick's release , Justice Murray said
lie was glad to bo able to state that the
time had not yet arrived in this country
whoa men or boys could bo prohibited
from organizing for nn increase in wages ,
lie severely rebuked the company foi
bringing a charge of conspiracy acainsl
the boy , a conviction on which would
have sent him to prison and wrecked his
future life. He added that he considered
Gould and his associates much groatei
conspirators. They conspire to ruin the
property of their rivals , and committed
nets of violence , such as cutting wires ol
opposition companies. It was a littinp
censure from an upright judge to men
whoso lives are full of conspiracies am !
crimes against society , which only theii
vast wealth and superior can
ning have enabled them to escape
the punishment they merited. To dostroj
the property of legitimate competitors ir
business whom they could not otherwise
got rid of ; to obtain possession of the
promises of rivals by the burglar's
method of nocturnal entrance , nnd then
defy the processes of the law"to oust
them all that and much more was legiti
mate to these wealthy rascals , but a com
blnod movement among a lot of hard
worked boys to secure an advance ol
wages was in their estimation a crime tc
bo punished by a term in the penitentiary
It is a matter tor regret that Justice
Murray should not have a chance to deal
with these great conspirators , who have
added lo their other crimes that of teaching -
ing boys treachery and deceit toward
tlioir companions for money.
The Amended School Law.
We very much doubt the wisdom of
the proposed changes in the board of edu
cation law. Tlio increase of membership
from nine to fifteen is entirely uncalled
for. The experience of other cities has
shown that largo numbers in such n
board are moro lublo to create discord
than smaller numbers. But the most ob
jectionable feature is the provision under
which two-thirds of the bo.ml nro to bo
elected by wards instead of at larcu.
This will force bur board of ediicat'on
into ward politic ? , ' and will assist In ( ho
selection of ward politicians , instead of
men who keep aloof from political com
binations. The present method of elect
ing all the members nt large has the ad
vantage In this respect , that candidates
must be acceptable to a majority of the
entire voting population. Another ob-
jectlonablo feature is the proposition to
make membership iu the board
a salaried olllco , instead of
an honorary position. Two hundred
t'ollars ' a year for each member is a
comparatively small allowance , but it
will prove the entering wcdgo of degrad
ing the board of education to an oflicc
for which certain mon will scramble for
the sake of pay. The present legislature
will make tlio pay only $200. Two years
hence it will bo raised to $500 , to bo on
par with tlio pay of councllmen. Some
of our best citizens liavo served on the
board without pay , and thora will bo no
trouble In securing treed men in the fu
ture without makiiic the position a salar
ied olllce. With fifteen members the out
lay would bo $3,000 a year. That amount
invested in frro text books or paid out
for additional teachers would yield much
better returns to the p.itrons of the
schools.
Tun inter-stato commerce law will go
into efl'ect on tlio 1st of April , nnd yet the
president delays the appointment of the
commission. It would seem that two
weeks would bo a short time to nllow
that body for organization and an ar
rangement of its work , and there is
reason to apprehend that the president's
procrastination in this matter may have
unfortunate results. At this time the
only man whom the president is belicvod
to have certainly selected is Mr. Morri
son , who , It scorns to bo generally acreod ,
will bo the chairman of the commission.
Another probable member is Judge
Cooley , of Michigan. But except us to
the first named it Is simply speculation as
to all others mentionen us possible com
missioners. The president is to bo com
mended for care in making his selec
tions , and it is very likely that the delay
is duo to a difficulty in finding the class
of men desired who nro willing to accept
the duty , whichi promises to bo one' of
very considerable labor.
ANOTHEU railroad bridge calamity , re
sulting in n greater loss of life than any
that has prcccdcd'it in this year of sim
ilar disasters , occurred yesterday morn
ing near Jamaica'Plain ' , on the Boston &
Providence railroad. Eight curs filled
with passengers wont through a bridge ,
and the frightful record of nearly a hun
dred people killed and injured is the con
sequence. The bridge was nearly now ,
and the dispatches report that it gave
way under the weight of the train ,
"owing doubtless to some hidden fault
in the construction or material used. "
This suggests n terrible responsibility
somewhere , but as in all other similar
cases it can never bo placed where it bo-
longs. The coaches were completely
demolished , and another fearful holocaust
caust was prevented by the timely arrival
of the fire department , as the smoking
car took lire as soon as it fell. This is
the fourth calamity of the year resulting
from defcctivo bridges , and the most dis
astrous.
THERE will be no necessity for an extra
session of the legislature by reason of the
blockade gotten up by members who op
pose reckless appropriations. There will
simply bo retrenchment nnd a wholesome
reduction of taxes.
UNLESS the car steve is abandoned
people will stop traveling in the winter.

The Ord Journal sees nothing but
dismay and death for the Nebraska

and make him "too full for utterance. "
There is some compensntion , however ,
for the chance from Pullman cushions to
tic trotting. The "wholo-soulcd" pass

lose his geniality and title forthwith and
sink to the level of the average vassal ,

KAI-III UITV , Dak. , March 11. [ Corro-
spondonoof the Bin : . ] In llio spring tlio
Black Hills , " fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of "boom ; " of the Inrush of
those heavenly visitors whom "Dutch
Fred" calls , "Kasdorti CobbldalLHs ; " of
rapid sales of town lots anil mining
claims ; of tlic prhto , pomp and circum
stance of glorious fortune. It Is Inter
esting to hear nioa and newspapers inHale -
Halo their hopes. Lifting one's self by
the boot-straps .was sometimes n chestnut
paradox , but the time gives it daily proof
in the euso with which men liguro them
selves to the ton of fortune's bicycle.
Hope deferred docs not even make the
heart retch In the hills ; and that fuith
wlilcc is the substance of things hoped
for , the evidence of things noUccn , finds
its highest exemplars among the Micaw-
bcrs and Taploys of this ranlled region.
1 could illl these letters with particulars ,
as of accomplisedd facts , of operations
that exist only in the imaginations of en
thusiastic schemers.
normix
All this comes of the double phenom
ena of physical and human nature : of
tlio boundless resources of llio country
and its people , reactingon each other.
These hillsuw-f-Uillcd with men who came
here to ncA'irSjir fortunes and who see
in the qjL trjTf minetals , ranches ,
ranges ami timber "uotcntinlity of
wealth beyond the dreams of Avarice. "
as Dr. Sam Johnson said of Thralo's
"potentialities , " and they want to make
it now , right away ; they see the potenti
alities and the dreams of avarice inllamo
imagination and sustain hope. The
owners of claims also know that said
potentiality is immovably locked up until
other acquired wealth comes in to release
it ; thcro arc millions of lisli in the sea ,
but what if n man has no fish hook ?
llcnco tlio constant straining of eyes
eastward for the coming of tlio "capital
ists. " like modern "wiso men trom the
cast. " And when they come the pros-
pcotor often consults his dreams for u
standard of values.
OKKID vs. GUMPTION.
Tlio reception accorded to the "capital
ist" when no comes , varies according to
the relations that exist between the greed
and the sagacity of the individual , would-
be-seller. If the former predominate in
the claim-owner , ho will demand a price
equal to all that ho imagines his mme
can over bo made to produce. If ho has
some business sagacity , ho will accord to
capital the share that it usually can com
mand in a partnership with original in
vention , to wit : the lion's ; ho will con
cede enough to the potentiality to tempt
capital to the risk of developing unpro
ductive , untested resources.
SrANIUUDSOF VALUi ; .
I have heard a man demand 50,000 for
a ledge of rocks with a streak of tin ore
in it and resent as an insult the proposi
tion that ho would bo glad to take half
the sum "spot cash , " and I 1m vo known
him the same day to give n , quarter interest
torest in it for $25 "grub stakes. " and bo
glad 10 got It. The one transaction was
dietatca by greed , the other by business
considerations. The claim had cost him
nothing but the trouble of driving half a
do/.ou stakes and posting a notice , so ho
was $25 ahead and "still lived. " A
Dutchman in the tin district refused
$10,000 for a claim. "Ton tonsand dollars
lars ! Vet is ten tousand tollars ? Notings !
I shpond him in a ycck. " Ho probably
never owned 10,000 cents at ono time in
his lifo. The hills abound with mem who
have for years been sitting on claims.
WAITING FOR I'UUCHASKKS ,
a dozen of whom have boon driven away
by prices based on the "dreams of ava
rice" rather than the possibilities of de
velopment ; and in many cases the dis
tribution of proceeds of sales has dis
closed the fact that the most of the prop
erty had already passed into the hands
of others than the discoverers for trilling
considerations or no consideration at all.
In truth it if the antecedent generosity ,
impecuniosity and improvidence of pros
pectors that often impel him to demand
largo prices. Of the $21,000 paid for the
Tin Hoof mines , only about ono-fourth re
mained to the discoverer. The proceeds
of the Neil purchase were still more un
equally distributed ; ono lawyer in Hapid
City getting $5500 , another $1,100 of it ,
while two parties who had put up35
apiece for the locators got over $2,000.
Of another inino sold lately , the dis
covers received only two-sevenths. Two
young men who had refused to bond a
mine near Dondwood for $80,000 , in a
burst of conildonco and generosity deeded
a third interest in it to a "nibtler" who
had befriended them and who they be
lieved could help them to sell.
HOW TO "CATCH ON" IN Tin : HILLS.
The man who comes into the hills
with money to Invest on short notice is
likely to bo asked prices based on those
dreams of avarico. The man who comes
and stays long enough to learn the coun
try and the people ; to acquire confidence
in the ono and gain the confidence of the
other , can " ( jet in on the lloor. " Miners
like square dealing and openhandedness -
ness , and hate in about equal proportion ,
a sharper and a nigirard. They are
square and liberal themselves , you sco ,
The moral of this , for momcd men ,
who want some of this potentiality of
wealth , is to deal with some resident
agent who is interested in properties and
is capable of llve-and-lct-livo transac
tions. Concede that ho is to maKe a good
thing for himself and his partners , and
look sharp that you make a good thing
for yourself and your partners. I think
one' reason why old-timers are so jeal
ous of new-comers , who como to stay is
thib very knowledge that the man who
settles down hero
ANU WATCHK1III3 CIIANCK3
can often work into good things bolter
than the old-timer himself. Sometimes
the latter has made a record that inter
feres with brilliant successes in negotia
tions with minors ; and now men have
considerable advantage in new connec
tions and now resources outside. Homo
notable successes of now men in estab
lishing themselves have not tended to
lessen the feeling that they were poach
ing on some ono's preserves. Of course ,
when I speak of this spirit I attribute it
to only a limited class of old residents ;
men of the same order of intelligence and
business sagaoity as is the prospector
who refuses $10,000 cash and Bells for $25
in "grub and gin. " The vast majority of
old residents m the hills welcome all re
spectable comers and are not afraid to
take their chances with them all in a
country with the potentiality in sight to
support 100,000 population and make ten
thousand opulent. I must say that I
don't believe there is another community
in this land that extends as hearty and
unselfish a hospitality , In society and
business , as do these lulls towns nota

AVilli ( ho approach of spring

ifested in real estate matters ,
I am more than ever consult-
cd by intending purchasers aa
to favorable opportunities for
investment , and to all such
would say :
"Wlienjmtting any Proper
ty OH the market , and adver
tising it as desirable , I have
invariably confined myself tea
a plain unvarnished statement
of facts , never indulging in
vague promises for the future ,
and the result iu every case
has been that the expectations
of purchasers were moro
than realized. I can refer with
pleasure to Albright's Annex
and Baker Place , as sample il
lustrations.
Lots in the "Annex" have
quadrupled in value and are
still advancing , while a street
car line is already building
past Baker Place , adding hun
dreds of dollars to the value of
every lot.
Albright's Choice was se
lected by me with the greatest
care after a thorough study
and with the full knowledge
of its value , and I can consci
entiously say to those seeking
a safe and profitable invest
ment that
Albright's Choice
offers chances not excelled in
this market for a sure thing.
