I'OOIl MANAOKJir.NT.
Nothing whatever is lacking to show
the very poor management the mayor is
exercising in running the police force
without giving the chief any power in the
promises and without giving the council
committed on police an opportunity to
exercise their influence in the matter.
Chief Cooper could build up an efficient
force if ho had the opportunity , and ho
has had experience in such matters , but
when the mayor holds to himself nil the
powers of appointment and removal
Chief Cooper can neither do himself or
the public justloo. Mr. Cooper recog
nizes the fuel that some of the mayor's
defections its policemen are totally unfit
for suoh service , and Councilman Burks ,
chairman of the council committee on
police , recognty.es the mtmo slate of facts ,
but thus far their Leflorts to right mat
ters have boon unavailing. Tlio night
police force IB officered by a man who is
an totally unlit iu crvery particular for
efficient service as coulil bo fouiul , and
who ought to have been removed months
ngo on general principles. The spectacle
of a policeman arresting a deputy sher
iff in the course of duty was
a fair example of some of the
day force , and to cap the climax ,
il is stated that the mayor has given em
ployment to Detective Pound , the mana
ger of the stale house episode , who is to
act as detective for this elegant force and
point out tlio violations. All these ridi
culous and farclal experiments are daily
bringing the force into disrepute among
the better class of clti/.eusand the crooks
and toughs continue to flock to the city
for a harvest time. Meanwhile , Chief
Cooper will be expected , by those unao-
quaintcd with the facts , to do oQicient
work with the motley crowd of wliolly
unexperienced men that the mayor holiU

Tire FinflT PUBLIC SALE.
The first auction Hale of Lincoln real
c tuto took place Saturday under the
inanagomentof Cludous & Ifonnoll. This
is a method of soiling that has met with
Huccess often in older cities and its in
troductory hi Lincoln was quite success
ful. A band in the circus wagon parad
ed the streets and led the way to tlio
different places where lots were sold ,
followed bv " about 200 people in carriages.
The sale "as a whole must have boon
satisfactory to the projectors , some of the
lots Bolllnc at n handsome figure and
others netted the purchasers special
bargains. A few of the sales will eivo
Lincoln people an idea of the sales as a
whole. The lot on the southwest corner
of P and Ninth streets , 30x113 , sold to O.
W. Webster for $10,000 , a handsome
price for n handsome piece of property.
The Winger lot , on the southwest corner
of Ninth and S streets- was sold to the
game purchaser at $10,000 , but it is
understood that Captain AVinger gave
1100 on the spot for the rclcaso ot the
tale. Two lots north of the traoks that
were on bottom ground sold for from
11'JOO to $1,300 each , and the next sale
was a lot on O street , between Nineteenth
and Twentieth , a fifty foot lot , and It was
considered a great bargain at $0,825 , the
figures for which it sold to Mrs. Skin
ner. A lot on L and Nineteenth , with a
good two story frame house , brought
fr , ! 500 , J. L. Uyan being the puruhaier ,
and two vacant lots on seventeenth and
K sola to C. E. Loomis for f 0,300. Two
tots on N and Nineteenth brought an
excellent price , soiling for $7.300. and a
lot on F near Twentieth sold for the
peat Rum of $265 , while the residence
property of B. P. Hoggon was purchased
by J. C. Mcllrldo for * U,100.
AUOUTTHK CITY.
The needs of a city hospital have been
made manifest iu the past two days in

cared for , and In the case ot the man
who had his skull cracked with a hatohot

chamber. Bomothing ought to bo done
And that speedily for the sick and desti
tute In Lincoln.
Postmaster Watkins suggests a good
policy for the city to adopt and that is
lor it annually to set aside a sum of
money to expend on the park in the
government square. The national gov
ernment will not appropriate money for
decorative purposes , and if the park hero
is made what It should bo the city will
have to assist. Personal contributions
hare been made heretofore foi the pur
pose , but for permanent work the city
should lend yearly assistance.
County Attorney 11. D. Stearns has
boon absent from tn city the past week ,
ostensibly on n visit eastward with no
particular object in view. The last few
days , however , It has bcon reported that
Air. Stearns would not return home
alone , but that ae would bring with him
A wife , and hU friends are waiting to
congratulate him.
K > \ cstorday was a prohibition day in
Lincoln , the pollca force being detailed
in special duty , watching as well as pos
sible the places whore intoxicants were
retailed. There did not , however , appear
to bo any more artesian well water drunks
than usual.
Itoal estate transfers have been more
than holding their own the past few days ,
Saturday's values reaching nearly f I''O-
000 , with some of the most extensive auc
tion sale * of that day not filed before the
closing hour * at the county ogioes. The
past week WAS Important in the number
of sales.

How Much or lluBala the Jews Own.
London Times * A commission has
been for several years past occupied in
Hussin with inquires as to the number of
Jew * , and especially ab to their position
as landholders , with a view to contemp
lated legislation on the subject. Seine
results of Iho investigation have lately
been published. According to the census
statistics of 18S1 relating to sixteen gov
ernments of the eouth and wo.st of the
empire there were 3.UWWi ! ( ) Jews of both
sexes in n total population of aViOO.OOfl
t. c. , at the rate of 11 } par vent. The
Hebrew element is most largely rcpre-
ncntod in Lithuania and White Russia ,
and least In Little Huasla. In Mink It Is
as ono in five , while in Kharkov the pro
portion is one to 350.
In grnoral the Jews prefer to settle in
villages , or in towns which are not seats
of government. A striking example of
their prcpanderanco is shown in the
hamlets of the Troki district ( Wilna )
where they form 92 per cent of Iho popu
lation. Regarding their position as
owners or occupiers of land In the above
mentioned provinces , will oh contain
1:17,000,000 : acres In all , it appears that
they have purchased 1.800,000 from the
nobles since 1801 , and they hold 0,230,000
acres as tenant farmers. These lands
they do not cultivate themselves , but lot
or sublet them ; us the case may bo , in
small lots to the peasants of noluliborinc
villages. Their profits as middlemen
have hitherto been very largo. There
arc instances In Hcssarabia , Volhynia
and Kherson of extensive districts hired
by them at from one-third to two roubles
an aero , and rclot in small lots at four to
live roubles per acre.
In I5c arabia they have obtained long
leases of agricultural land belonging to
some foreign convents which they have
sublet in some cases for twenty-five rou
bles per faltcha , a local measure equal to
nearly three acres. In 1'odolia almost
all tlio larco estates situated in the basins
of the aflluonls of the Dniesncr are held
by Jews at long terms. The system of
agriculture pursued under these new
masters is found to be no better than that
of other classes of land speculators. The
soil is exhausted after live or ten years'
cropping , and it Is not to be wondered at
that within the last dectule there has
been a fall of thirty per cent , in the value
of landed property.

JAMES LICK'S GENEROSITY *
the Moon Within Slvtr-Slx
Miles of the Enrtli Mount Hamil
ton's HUKO Dome-Groat
During the coming summer there will
be erected upon the summit of Mount
Hamilton , in California , In the huge
dome already prepared for It , the great
est refracting tolc'-eopo the world ever
saw or Is over likely to sou unless the art
of the glass-maker and of the lens-
grinder should take some marvelous leap
in advance. Itisqulto natural that uni
versal curiosity snould bo awakened as
to the probable extent of the yet untried
powers of this monster telescope. Tlio
eyes not only of all astronomers , but of
the intelligent reading public all over
the world , are turning impatiently to
ward Mount Hamilton , and ono of tlio
firat questions that an astronomer hears
In a miscellaneous assemblage la : "What
do you think the Lick telescope will
show ? " If Mr. Janios Lick , who charged
his executors to construct tlio most pow
erful telescope in existence , could hear
the bu/.r. of expectation thai the near ac
complishment of bin behest has awakened
ho would probably already feel repaid
for his generosity.
'lilt : UDSKHVATOUr.
In view , then , of this widespread and
laudable curiosity about an inslrumont
that represents the crowning achieve
ment of tlio telescope-maker , it is well
worth while to inquire what the Lick
telescope will really bo able to do , Jn
answering that question thorn are three
principal points to be kept in view. First ,
Ihe size of the telescope ; second , the
quality of ils workmanship , and third , its
location. In all of the.se respects the
Lick telescope stands in the front rank
The true measure of the si/.o of a telescope -
scope retlectin telescopes like Lord
Kongo's are hero lott out of consideration ,
Although a similar rule would apply to
them is Iho diamelor ot Iho object-
glass , that is , the large glass In the end
of the tube furthest from the eye. The
object gluss of the Lick telescope is three
feet across , ten inches broader Ihan the
lirobdlntiginn eye of the great tclcscopo
of the Naval Observatory at Washington.
Hut ilioso ten iuchcs represent a far
mightier increase of power than the un
initiated would suppose. They enable
the Lick glass to grasp Iwico as much
li ht as the Washington glass can do.
More accurately speaking , while the
Washington telescope collects 10,000
limes as many rays of lighl as Iho un
aided human ( \yo can do , the Lick tele
scope will collect Uv'-100 , limes as many
rays as tlio eye is able to grasp. Tlio
; reat telescope recently sot "up at Pul-
town , Russia , has an object-glass thirty
.nchcs in diameter , giving it a light-
grasping about two-thirds as great as
; hat of the Lick telescope.
As to workmanship , tlio same master-
land that .shaped the lenses of the Wash-
ngton and Pulkowa instruments made
: ho obji'ot-glass for the Lir-k telescope ,
: he hand ot the veteran Alvin Clark , who
s everywhere acknowledged to bo the
world's ' greatest tolescopc-makor. That
Ihe Lick glass will compare modi favor-
ibly with the previous masterpieces of
winch it was subjected at Cambridge be-
[ ore it was sent to California.
JIOUN'l'KI ) FOH USL.
Finally as to the location. In this re
spect the Lick telescope will have an ad
vantage of which those who are not
familiar with the workings of aslronom-
ical instruments can form but a faint
idea. The astronomer's worst enemy is
the atmosphere. Kvcu the calmest
weather it is a source of annoyance and
a stumbling-block to him. One can form
some notion of what the trouble is by
looking over a heated roach of sands in
the summer or over the top of n flat
stove in which a lively fire is burning and
noticing Ihe waving and trembling mo
tion of the heated air , which twists tlio
rays of light traversing it into a con
fused blur. Similar motions and cur
rents prevailing in the atmosphere near
ly all the time are magnified by tlio tele
scope until their effect is lo deslroy lliat
sharpness of vision winch is needed in
aslronomical observations. There are
two ways of getting rid to some o.xtenl
al leasl of Ihis annoyance. One way isle
lo plant your telescope in some part of
the world where an equable climate gives
unusual steadiness lo Ihe atmosphere.
Another way is to climb up into a high
mountain and set your telescope above
the denser and more troublesome layers
of air. Thirty years ago Piazzi Smyth , the
astronomer royal for Scotland , made n
famous experiment which dcmonslrateil
the effectiveness of the last named expe
dient. Ho went to the Canary Islands ,
and dragging a powerful telescope to the
top of Iho lofty peak of Tenerillo , set it
up there a in id the pumice stone and lava
blocks of that giant volcano. The astro
nomical world was delighted witli Iho en-
tbitsiaslic dcseriplion that he broughl
back of the clearness and distinctness ol
the lolescopio vision upon the moun
tain lop. Yet it was not easy to find a
mountain on which an observatory couk
bo built.and so astronomersfor the raosl
part , continued to do the besl they could
at the bottom of the aerial ocean , only
aspiring in their hearts lo bo inhabitants
of the limpid upper air.
Now the Lick telescope has all the ad
vantages that come from both a high
elevation and an equable climate. The
observatory slands on Iho summit of e
mountain 400 feel above thn sou level
The climate of Ibal region is delicious
to Iho astronomer exquisite. Mr. Hum
ham , the eaglo-cycd discoverer of double
stars , wont there lo lesi Iho seeing quali-
llos of Iho Mount Hamilton air and was
both charmed and astonished. New
double stars fell into his catalogue like
ripe apples in an autumn night.
So we see that in every way the great
telescope will possess an advantage over
most of those now in existence , and in
the matter of size it is , of course , unri
valed.
.Next lot us inquire what it will proba
bly show. When talking of the powers
of telescopes , people naturally think first
of the moon. It is the nearest of the
heavenly bodies , and in some respects Iho
most interesting , The first celestial ob
ject that Galileo turned his telescope
upon was the moon , and the delight that
he expressed at the sight of its plains
and mountains has been felt increasingly
by all observers since bis time. Every
increase of the power of telescopes has
brought to light new details in these
wonderful lunar landscapes. There is a
simple ratio between the magnifying
power of a teloicope and the apparent
distance of the object looked at , which
renders it easy to itale that power in a
popular and easily-understood form. It
a telescope maxnlUes 100 diameters it
will bring its object apparently 100 time
as near as it really is. The mean dis
lance of tbo moon is about 210,000 miles
With a telescope maftnifylng 100 diamo
ten it would , therefore , appear to bo
brought within 9,400 miles of the earth-
Now the Lick telescope , under the most
favorable conditions , may bear a magni.
lying power ol 8,600 diameters. That
would bring the moon within an apparent
distance of between sixty-aixand sixty ,
seven miles. At such a distance it would
be very difficult to detect any but the
coarsest featvres of the landscape. Arti
ficial works , if any existed would hare to
ie of great size to bo seem A slructure
ike the pyramid .of Cheeps would be
visible ns a spot , nnd possibly its shni > 9
might be made out by clo. o study of tlio
sundown It cast audits varying apponranco
under different Illuminations. In fact , it
Is by the shadows of objects upon it that
\vo lunrn more of the moon's surface tlmn
in any other way. Owing to tlio absence
of any Appreciable atmosphere shadows
upon the moon nre as blr ck an Ink. A
building like the Washington inoiuinient
standing on the lunar surface would bo
Invisible to us when the sun shone per
pendicular upon it. lint with the rising
or setting sun it would cast a long spire
of shadow thai thu Lick telescope might
bo able to show.
A I.U.VAK VOLCANIC HF.C.ION .
Of courao a city on the moon would be
visible , nnil would probably bo rooognlz-
able us such. Cut a piece of paper an
Inch long and n quarter of an inch broad
and hold It six or seven inches from the
oyo. It will occupy nearly the exact
angular diminsious that the city of New
York would have If it stood upon the
moon and was viewed from the oaith
with n telescope magnifying 8,000 , diam
eters. Then try H mark upon this bit ot
paper in their true relative proportions
the streets nnil principal buildings of the
city , nnd you will have a queer notion of
the umount of detail that might bo ex
pected to bo seen.
Uut objects would not appear ns clear
as they would to the nuked eye tit a
similar real distance , owing to the loss of
light in the telescope and the necessary
imperfections of the imago. And , while
the power mentioned could doubtless bo
ust'd upon the Lick telescope , yet In prac
tice it hardly ever would bo used , and
bettor results could probably be attained
with powers of 2,000 or 1,000 , or in many
cases of only 1,000 , with which powers
the apparent dis-tancc of the moon would
be respectively 120 , IfiO and a 10 miles.
Hut astronomers worn long ago con
vinced that there are no cities upon the
moon and no inhabitants to build them.
Some , believing that the Creator would
not have formed so complete a world
merely to shod a Mttlo rellectcd light
upon the earth , may think there must
been inhabitants there in the long-past
ages of lunar history vho may have left
some traces of their presence. However
this may be , the discovery of artilicial
works is not needed to nmko the moon
interesting , Tossed and torn as it has
been by the most torrilic volcanic lorcos ,
the face of our satellite presents to us as
strange a world as the most grotesque
imagination could picture. Craters forty
and fifty miles across ; circular plains
completely ringed and shut In by giant
mountain peaks ; strange shining moun
tains , whoso mighty Hanks fairly blaze
when the sunshine .strikes them , so that
oven the clear-eyed William llorschcl
thought ho saw them actually vomiting
lire ; empty bottoms of long dried-up
seas , chasms a mile wide , 100 miles or
more long and of frightful depth with
all these features to excite the wonder
and oven the admiration of the beholder ,
for the moon is very beautiful in the
telescope , there Is no danger that the
lunar revelations of the great Lick glass
will lack interest , oven if they only servo
to strengthen the evidence that our bril
liant satellite is often all but the skeleton
of a world.
Then conies the planet Mars , which in
terests us in a very different way , for
Mars is not improbably an inhabited
world. The question of tls actual condi
tion as to habitablcncss is still under de
bate ; and here the great California ! ! tele
scope may bo able to lurnish decisive ev
idence " ono way or the other if properly
used. We already know that Mars has
an atmosphere , and wo can hardly bo
mistaken in Raying that it possesses
water , and that differently colored re
gions wo see upon it arc lands and seas.
Around its poles wo perceive white
patches that wax and wane with the
seasons. What can they bo but snow
fields ? Obscuring largo portions of its
surface at timesmisty patches are visible ,
which nre seen to slowly ch nge their
position , and some times to giadually
melt awiiy. What are these but clouds
iloatiug in the atmosphors of the planet ?
Within the past ten years curious streaks ,
called canals , have boon soon at times
upon Alars. They certainly are not
canals in the ordinary moaning of that
term ; just what they are wo do not know.
There is some evidence that their appear
ance nnd disappearance depend upon the
changes of the seasons of Mars. Into
the mysteries of the most interesting
world and the reader will at once per-
ceiTe that it is full of the greatest inter
est the Liok telescope should enable as
tronomers to penetrate much further than
they have yet been able to do.
The planets Jupiter and Saturn have
also assumed fresh interest of late , es
pecially the former , on account of the
puzzling appearances that they have pre
sented. The liugo red snot on Jupiter ,
which was lirst seen in 1878 , is still visi
ble , having in the past three or four years
undergone ) very singular lluctuations of
form and visibility. It is not likely , as
has been Miugoaled , that this hlraugo
spot is a portion of the red-hot surface
of the great planet mudo visible to us by
the withdrawal of a concealing envelope
of clouds ; yet it can hardly be doubted
that it has something to do with the
planetary development of that distant
world , which is now evidently passing
through the earlier stages of what migh.
bo called tta prc-goological history , In
dealing wilh snoh phenomena as Ihta the
Lick telescope will possess an enor
mous advantage , If its powers are prop
erly directed , with a magnifying powcrof
of 3,000 time ? , Jupiter , when ncaropposl
tion , would appear ns if only about one
hundred and thirty-throe thousand miles
away , or something more than half the
distance of the moon , If Jupiter really
were only as far mvay ns that , It would
seem to fill half the heaven * . It would
have nn apparent diameter of over
seventy degrees , covering about twenty
thousand tlmos ae largo a space us the
full moon docs.
Kvon with a power of lfiOO Jupiter
would be brought within an apparent
dlstanco of about two hundred and sixty-
six thousand miles , or only three timed
its own diameter away. Our presenl
tclcscopo will not bear such a power sat
isfactonly , but it ought to be available
under the best conditions , on Mount
Hamilton , for the study of the features of
Jupiter's surface. The same remarks ap
ply to Saturn Iho wondeaful world with
rings suspended around it. With the
great new telescope such views should
be obtained of it as have never boon ob
tained before.
A gigantic photographic lens is to bo
applied to the Lielc telescope. Herein
the monster will probably bo able lo ac
complish enormous resulU. It has re
cently been found practicable to photo
graph stars and ncbulic which the human
eye cannot sec at all , oven when aided by
the most powerful telescopes. Hut tlio
photographic plates make thorn visible ,
showing that the heavens are oven more
full of wonders than men had dreamed.
What now marvels of this kind the Liok
telescope will reveal in tlio awful depths
of space , where suns and worlds nro
strewn like sands upon llio shore can ouly
be guessed.

Socorro Bullion : A few days ago two
prospectors , while waudoiing over the
foothills cast of the city , accidently
stumbled on signs of previous habitation
buried under heaps of sand which had
boon drifted by tlio winds of years. Hav
ing selected a poinl at which lo make an
excavation , Ihey went lo woik with a
will , and in a few hours had reached the
lloor of a small chamber in the form of a
parallelogram. They found the re
mains of several human beings , several
handsome vases carved wilh gcomelrical
figures iu different colors , stone axes ,
hammers , pieces of cloth apparently
manufactured from the libro of the
yucca ; several strings of beads , sea
shells , arrow heads and an abundance of
fragmenls of obsidian quartz , and an in
credible quantity of pieces of broken
pottery , including several with a blue
glazing. Only in one other instance have
wo ever heard of this color and quality of
ware having been discovered in this ter
ritory , and that was nt the ancient
pueblo near the Sanla Kila in Ihis conn-
Iry. and it indicates that the Spaniards
had lived in New Mexico before tlio ox-
linclion of tlio race who inhabited this
ruined nnd buried village.
