PUHI.ICITV is the most effective protec tion against jobbery and. fraud. Our board of public works and board of county commissioners should not only keep a record of nil their proceedings , but their sessions should bo hold on fixed days at known hours and witli open doors. Huoti Muui-nv and his paving contract partners have a very peculiar habit of rushing bills through the board of public works an hour or two before council meetings , and then having them ap proved under whip and spur without giving tlmo for investigation. Murphy's claims may bo legitimate , but the method pursued ia getting them through is very suspicious. AFTER the very thorough washing the city received Tuesday night , the authori ties m charge of the streets ought to have little trouble in keeping thorn clean hereafter , with the help of future similar visitations. There is really no good reason son why Omaha should bo unclean nt any time , and there are very urgent reason - son why U should not bo allowed to bo 10 during tbo next thrco or four months. NEW Ufa has been infused into the Davenport Democrat by its union with the Oiizdtc. The consolidated paper is called the Dcmocrat-Qazette. It is owned by a stock company with ample capital and every effort will bo put forth to make it a first-class paper. The editor is Mr D. N. Richardson. Two editions , morn ing and evening , are published. The people of Davenport arc to bo congratu lated upon the now departure. A MAJORITY of the city council have declared clared by their votes that the police and fire commissioners can make no appoint' ments in the polieo force until after th council has granted them authority by an ordinance which defines the powers and duties of the commission and cstab lishos rules and regulations for the government ernmont of the polieo forco. If this view of the law is correct , the appointment of Galligan as chief of the fire department js also void. SAN FRANCISCO advices say that the light for the China tea trade promises to be lively , but American steamship and railroad lines will not suffer unless the Canadian Pacific secures swifter vessels . , than it now has chartered. The time | J from Shanghai to Now York ia twenty- eight days , and allowing eight days for crossing thq Atlantic this gives thirty-six days between. Shanghai and Liverpool. This beats the quickest time on the Suez route by eight daya. The present time a American lines will be improved- the Occidental and Oriental steamship company has ordered the voyage between Yokohama and San Francisco shortened by two days. IT is to bo hoped the generous rainfall of Tuesday night in this section ex tended to all portions of the state whore rain was necdod. Dispatches from two or throe points report that they wore vis ited , with excellent effect upon the growIng - Ing crops. The weekly signal service report of the rainfall in Nebraska last week stated that it had boon deficient , and although no serious ill effects wore noted , in some localities the want of rain was beginning to bo felt in the evidences of impending damage. The agricul tural sections will need frequent and liberal showers for u tlmo yet , and if those are had there is excellent promise that Nebraska's harvest will bo a most generous one. THE Now York World has boon en gaged in the laudable work of ascertain ing to what extent food adulterations are carried in that city , and it has made some interesting disclosures , showing that pretty much everything the people consume is moro or less adulterated , If it will admit of it. On the whole , how ever , the results are not so bad as might have been expected. The latest cxamina- f : t Uons wade were of tea , codoo and sugar sold in retail gtoceriwt , conducted , of course , by experts. Out of 100 samples of tea 8 ? were not adulterated and 13 were found to bo adulterated mostly with "lie" tea and foreign leaves ; of 100 sam- pips of ground coffee , 73 wore pure and 28 wore mixed with chiccory and peas , and of 100 samples of sugar , 08 were pure and only 2 adulterated with starch-glu cose. If those commodities average throughout thu country ai well as this in freedom from adulteration there is no very serlotu cause of complaint. VT. . . The Two The Council bluffs papers which for years have kept that city surrounded with a Chinese wall by fostering local prejudices and fomenting bitterness and hatred against everything and everybody that hailed from Omaha , nro howling like a pack of coyotes over the remarks mntio by the editor of the UKE at the Omaha board of trade meeting , on the bridge question. Wo take it that the people of Council lilufffl are too intelligent to be imposed upon by narrow-gauged and selfish ap peals , which bear on their face a ma licious purpose to disparage the lHn. : It is a matter of history that the BIK : lias for years labored day in and day out against the Union Pacific bridge mo nopoly , and was largely instrumental in forcing the reduction of bridge tolls from fifty to twenty-five cents. Kvery project looking towards better and cheaper facill- ics for commercial intercourse between Council Bluffd and Omaha hns received ts cordial and vigorous support. When ompetitlon with the bridge monopoly vas carried on by ferryboats the KKK acked tho. ontcrpriso witlmll the infill- nco at its command. Every project to ulld independent or rival bridges hns met with warm encouragement. How vas it with the Council Bluffs papers urlng all those years ? Has not their 'onvcrsion ' been brought about by the IKE'S persistent efforts and the crowing onviction among enterprising and Intel- igeut citizens of Council Bluffs that they ould not build their own town up by am and desperate exertions to clog the growth of Omaha. The controversy over ho rival bridges docs not In any way hango the situation. The boom which Council Bluffs enjoys ivas stimulated and sustained by the growth of Omaha. Give Omaha 200,000 leoplo , and property across the Ivor will double and quadruple in value , 'heck the growth of Omaha and the Council Bluffs boom must collapse inevit- nbly. It stands to reason and common enso that the BEE , with its present and uture dependent upon the continued prosperity of Omaha , will naturally sup port every project that tends to build up and solidify this city. It believes now.us t has for yours , that a wagon bridge across the Missouri , independent of any railroad , would bo a great bouclit both to Omaha and Council Bluffs. On this sub eel the views of the editor of the BKE KIVO undergone no chanpo. When called upon at the board of trade meeting to express lib opinion as to the relative advantages to Omaha of a railroad and wagon bridge that would bring about the extension of the Milwaukee system of railway through Nebraska and a radical change in the method of transfer as against a simple wagon bridge , without any other advantages than improved 'acilitles for local transit , ho did not hesitate to say as between the two ho would consider the railroad and wngon bridge combined of moro vital import ance to Omaha , which in the end means nlso of greater advantage to Council Bluffs. This is not all that prompted his ex pressions. It waschanjea by responsible parties at that meeting that the parties on this side of the river who are at present antagonizing the railroad bridge with the wagon bridge , were actively in con cert with Union Pacific officials with the solo aim and object to defeat both bridge projects. The overtures of the Union , Pacific to th ? Milwaukee road to use the Union Pacific bridge jointly were pronounced by par ties well informed as a counter-move which would block the building of the competing railroad bridge and would bo followed , up by a combination to prevent the building of a wagon bridge. If there arc any enemies of the Council Bluffs and Omaha bridge project .they will be found in the Union Pacific headquarters and not in the BEE office. In view of the fact that the Milwaukee & St. Paul directory had already decided to build at least 150 miles of extension in Nebraska this year , the question had to bo squarely met whether a crossing a' ' Omaha could bo made which would , enable the road to reach grounds se lected for terminal facilities or whether by blocking its way the proposed Nebraska extension was to bo mad' ' from some point nearer Yanxton The question naturally presents itself Why does the Milwaukee road insist upon crossing the river at Dodge street ? Sim ply because the bridge charter requires a combination w agon and railroad bridge and such a bridge built north of th Union Pacific shops it impracticable There would , however , be no serious obstacle staclo to the proposed wagon brldgi crossing at the foot of Farnam street. The offensive reference- Dillonvillo , which the Council Bluffij papers harp on as anjbasult to the people of that city , was eminently proper and to the point. By "Dlllonville" we designate and dis tinguish the Union Pacilio transfer grounds , Council Bluffs has reaped no material advantage from her so-called union depot. It is true that Omaha has boon crippled and her people have been subjected to great annoyance and inconvenience by the Union Pacilio transfer depot. But what has Council Bluffs gained by it ? Omaha might to-day Imvo had a larger population than Kansas City Mad she boon given proper eastern railway connec tions , and Couucil Blutl's would have reaped the bonolit of that growth in duo proportion. On the other hand , thous ands of people , including men of means , who have traveled across the continent , Imvo determined never again to. submit to the ordeal of a Dillonvillo transfer. This is plain taltc , and sensible people m Council Bluffs will concede that nothing i to bo gained by perpetuating the Union Pacific bridge monopoly and the aggra vating discomfort to which travelers go * ing east or coming west by way of Coun cil Bluffs are obliged to suffer. For our part we hope that both the railroad bridge and the wagon brldgo will be built as speedily as possible. Unleu the people of Council Bluffs are bereft of all reason they will realize that the howl of their papers it instigated by pure malloo and senseless Jealousy. The intimation that the BKE has sold ont on the bridge ques tion is as silly and as baseless as the as sertion made by one of the Council Bluffs papers that Bosowater told ont Van wyck In the senatorial struggle and traded off tbo tar-payers of Omaha to the railroads in the charter fight MICHAEL DAVITT suggests a popular movement in this country to protest against the immigration of pauper labor being promoted by the English govern ment. It is not as yet necessary. If ex isting laws are rigidly enforced this class of immigrants can bo excluded , and after a few cases of such exclusion the Eng lish government would probably stop the unprofitable business. If , however , it should persist in such a policy a popu lar protest will not bo wanting , and It will be ono that England will not fail to hear. _ Judicial Aid to Centralization of 1'nwcr. The supreme courtof the United States has been subjected to a great deal of adverse - verso criticism in the last quarter of a century. There have been periods when the tribunal scorned to depart so far from that high and suvero judicial impartiality which the people always expect of it , and to be dominated by influences wholly foreign to its character and of which it should at all times bo independent , that it was almost abandoned by popular con fidence. Largo numbers of intelligent men feared that the last stronghold In thn cltidol of free government was being undermined by the unscrupulous and cor rupting agencies that wore over at work to lessen the ppwer and rights ol the people ple and strengthen thiMO of the classes to weaken or destroy what belonged to the parts of the governmental structure in order that the central power might bo augmented and nuule stronger. Infallibility is not to bo reasonably expected oven of so august a body as the cderulsupremo court , but there is sound 'cason ' for expecting n degree of con- isteucy , and also that its interpretation if the constitution shall have in view the Ights of the people us before all other ights. Otherwise the constitution musl tease to bo regarded as the certain shield f the people's rights , which it was un doubtedly intended to bo by the great men who framed It. Similar tribunals n other nations are created to guard thu ntcrests of the governments of which hey are the creatures ; thu supreme court if the United States was established to ionscrvo the interests of the people under ho constitution of their creation. It was the invariable recognition and appli- ation of this principle , which for nearly .hreo-quarters . of a century , with per- nips a single exception , kept the supreme premo court of the nation free from all reproach. Among the important decisions handed down at the last session of the court was one affeoting the rights of a state respect- ng foreign corporations. The state of Wisconsin passed a law requiring for eign corporations , as a condition of dong - ng business hi the state , to nproo to waive their right of removing cases from the state to federal courts. This the supreme premo court held to bo unconstitutional , whereupon the state passed a law requir- ng the foreign corporations to take out iccnses , without which they were barred from doing business , and directed the shito officers to take the licenses away if the corporations removed any itigation against them from the state to the federal courts. Tins law the supreme court upheld , on the ground that the state had the absolute right to allow or forbid any foreign corporations to do business In the state , and having that power it was not competent foe the supreme premo court to go into the question of the motive which actuated the state in exorcising it , or the end * that the state aimed at. This decision , read by Justice Hunt , now dead , dis tinctly declared thu proposition that "full power and control over its territory , its citizens and its business belong to the state , " and that in the exerciso.of . this power the intention or the reason by which the state is influenced cannot bo inquired into.'K The decision rendered in April roverscs this position , in affirming' that it is the business of the court to find out the rea son that moved a state to deny any par ticular corporation a right to do business in the state , and that If that reason were to prevent the removal of trials from state to federal courts , then it was the business of the court to declare the notion of the state unconstitutional. The case in which this decision was rendered was that of Uarron against Burnsido , and in volved the Iowa law requiring foreign corporations to take out licenses , and providing for their revocation i < i the event of the corporations removing suits against thorn to the federal courts a statute precisely simi lar to that of Wisconsin uphold by the previous decision of the supreme court. Certain Illinois railroads did not take ont licenses , and Barren , an en gineer on the Northwestern road , was arrested for violating the state law. The case reached the supreme court , and the decision was that the law is unconstitu tional. Under this decision the law of Wisconsin of course goes down , as docs a similar statute in Illinois. It will of course bo heartily approved by the cor porations of all classes , since it puts a check to the exercise of state control over them that will bo greatly to their material advantage. But what are the people to think of a decrco which denies thorn the right to cxorciso their sovereign power in regulating the business of their states without having their intentions and reasons for doing so inquired into and impeached ? A Suspicious 1J11I of Extras. A bill tor $3,445.03 duo to the Murphy- Croighton paving company for repairing pavements , resetting curbs , "and so forth , " was presented to the council last night through the chairman of the board of public works. The claim is made up of the following items : For repairing pavement West Far nam street 81,055.00 For repairing pavement South Tenth street 600.73 For repairing pavement South Twentieth street 448.03 For repairing pavement Sherman avenue 842,10 Total 83,415.93 On the verbal statement of Its lat chairman , Mr. House , that he had or dered Murphy & Co.to do this work , and the mere certificate of the paving Inspector specter that the work had boon properly executed , the board of publio works has Rpproyed , this bill ai correct to the coun cil. cil.Without Without calling in question the cor rectness of tbo measurement for which the board h s only the figures famished by the opntrftotors , we deem it our duty to protest against this loose way of doing buaineu. No bill for paving , curbing , grading or sewer construction should over be approved by the board of publio works without the certificate of the city engineer that he has inspected and MTA' lt ncasiircd the worJ : and verified the cor- cctness of the quantity of work done. But oven If the city engineer had. nieas- red this work this Is nn extraordinary lalni which the board should not ap- rove without thorough Investigation as o Its validity. This Is n claim for ropav ng streets which , wcro paved during the last eighteen months by these contruc- ors. Why should the city bo taxed a ccond time for repaying them at this arly day ? If the pavement on thcso streets had icon ruined by a cyclone or waterspout ho repaving would properly bo cluirgo- blo to the city , liut in this instance the cpaving WO.M cither done in streets where the contractors had failed to lay heir pavement properly , or wlicro the treets Imvo been torn up by the street ailroad , gas and water companies. Now , why should the property owners of ho whole city bo taxed for replacing pavements torn up by the street railroad companies , cable roads , or water and gas lompanies ? Why should not the bill of ho Murphy-Crcighton Co. for extras , bo presented to these various corporations ? Wo notice the charge for the ropaving s the same as for new wooden block pavement , $1.80 per yard. Why should ho contractor make no deduction for old material used in repairs ? The resol ing of curbs and reliving of stone gut- ors tcqiilrcs no now material , and with only a year's wear the cedar blocks could bo rclaid , while the broken rock hi the old concrete Is just as good as tmv other broken stono. The city council has very iroporly referred this extraordinary bill to a committee ! There nro obvious reasons why the city should not pay the whole of it , and wo doubt very much whether any part of it is legally charge able against the city. THE new law of Illinois abolishing the bucket-shops is as commendable a piece of legislation as was enacted by the last assembly of that stato. There is nbso- utely nothing to bo said in defense of hose institutions , no matter where they exist. They arc bad in every way. As a system , says the Chicago Herald , "these bucket-shops have become so powerful hat they have often raided the wheat pit ana beared the market point after point , until their sheets were cleaned , and every : cnt of money ilcposited to their credit by customers swept away as legitimate winnings. In other words , the keeper of the bucket-shop , acting as trustee and ropurthil spectator of the market , has turned that market agminst his own cus tomers , they not dreaming that ho jould influence the quotations any more than ho could stop the rising of the moon. Everybody who patron- zes a bucket shop' must lose. A law to stop such methods of money-making by sharpers must therefore boa public good. As a practical matter , however , Illinois refuses to profit by the folly of Wiscon- in , Iowa , Michigan and Indiana. Mil lions of bucket iJSop money come into Chicago each year from these states. Almost every towu has a little clique of wiseacres who lojb year after year , and say very little aUtffit it. " The effect of the law will notibe confined to Illinois. It will kill off a great many bucket shops elsewhere to the existence of which the Jliicago gamblin tlens were essential. THE better elements of Chicago's people - plo are enjoying a sense of relief and justifiable gratification over the success of the citizens' judicial ticket. It was certainly under the circumstances a signal victory , and if it shall result , as there can bo no doubt it will , in a purer administration of judicial affairs in that city and county , the value of the victory ' cannot bo overes'timatcd. It has another importance as a lesson to partisans that they cannot bo sure of always command ing the support of the people regardless of the character of candidates chosen or the motives and aims that suggest the choice. It happens perhaps too infre quently thai the people become aroused to revolt against partisan dictation which demands their support of corrupt men and unholy schemes , but aftairs some times get so bad , as they are very sure to do sooner or later under the control and manipulation of the professional poll' ' ticians , that the people are forced to sco the necessity of rising in their own defense , and when such oc casions come , party claims have very little consideration. Chicago has just passed through an oxpcrionco of this kind , and while the result will undoubt edly have an excellent effect there , it should bo taken into account elsewhere as an example of what the people can defer for themselves when the politicians force a conflict. LAST week the city of Now York sold a coupio of street railway franchises for the sum of 34 and 40 per cent , of their gross receipts respectively. A Now York contemporary remarks that this fact discloses in a startling manner the value of the gifts made by the community in times post to the various corporations occupying the public streets , and throws a stream of light also upon the trading value of the franchises , If they were worth what was paid for them to the city treasury , they were worth as much to anybody having the power to grantu them. These facts and reflections 'have a suggestion for every community where street railway franchises are being eugorly sought. The method of disposing 'of them that prevails - vails in Now York'yiay not bo applicable to a young city , where such publio ac commodation must' take the chances o : the community's'frrowtb , but when the period of risk is jw&od and certain profit for such enterprises is assured , the grant ing of these franchises may properly bo made a source of ] revenue to the public treasury. Omahp !

It seems to bo very certain that ho has ilcdgcd himself to go nowhere , and so far as the talkcd-of St. Louis visit s concerned ho will doubtless see the wisdom of keeping clear of that city. Ho would find there nothing to edify him when the Grand Army is not in session , and ho might tlnd much to displease him when it is. It is said that wherever ho may decide to go ono of the conditions of the visit will be that there shall bo no political demonstrations. Ho will abao- utclo decline to talk , ovnn briefly. Of course the hospitality extended by Gov ernor Hill will bo construed to have a political significance , though in fact it will bo purely an ufi'air of courtesy. Tin : fight Hugh Murphy and the laving gang made upon the charter last winter was chiefly directed Against the section that placed the city engineer upon the board of public works. By the help of the legislative boodlurs the contractors' gang succeeded in de'foat- ng thft important safe-guard against jobbery. Murphy's oflbrt to slip that ? 2,445 claim for paving repairs through without the approval of the city nncineor shows what object he had In view last winter.

His appeal will not bo in vain. England's tvranny towards Ireland is daily growing more severn , and is arousing the greatest sym pathy in the United States for the op pressed pcoplo of the Emerald Isle. KINGS AND QUEENS. Qucon Chrlsttnaof Spain lias gone to spend some weeks at Aranjuuz , on the Tagus , with the baby kins.

The czar of Russia Is an adopt on the French horn and often beguiles the solitude of his Imprisonment by airs upon that in strument. The Intense animosity of the ni hilists is explained and to some extent ex cused. The crown prince of Germany always car ries the jewels of the orders of the carter , the fleece , and the black eagle of Prussia in ono ofhls breast pockets , except when he Is dis playing the decorations on the front of his tunic. At the recent state ball In London the princess'of Wales wore a dress of gray satin and silver brocade , veiled in crepe and looped witli marabou feathers , corsage to correspond ; headdress , a tiara of diamonds ; ornaments , pearls and diamonds and her usual orders. The queen of Denmark ls visiting her daughter , the duchess of Cumberland , at the aeylum at Uodllng. The queen traveled under tbo strictest Incocnltio , refusing to allow the ofliclals to receive her at Dresden , Vienna and other stations on the journey. The condition of pregnancy of the duchess delays her restoration to sunlty. Hallucination. irayue Gazelle , The trouble with the Omaha Republican seems to be that its editor Is laboring under the hallucination that be is the republican party of Febrask. flnt ODD Roault. mii/iie Qaittte. The fleht which Rotb&cker Is making against Governor Thnyor can lead to but one result , the dlscomtiture of tha Republican. The governor Is too well and favorably known In Nebraska , and has served its people ple too well to be Injured by the malicious attack s of a comparative stranger , whose veuom Is born of disappointed ambition. The Milk In the Cooaaut. AlcCook Democrat. The papers In the state that have been pur suing Governor Thayer in an effort to belit tle his character and lower him In I the esti mation ot the people will have nothing for their trouble , The main reason for all this abuse seems to have grown out of the refusal of the governor to appoint a couple of Omaha editors as police commUtilonors of that city. Unwarranted Attack. Button lidjMtr. The Omaha Uepubl lean's attack on Gov ernor Thayer Is unwarranted and uncalled for. Because the governor disappointed the Republican In the appolntcmcnts nmdosfor police commissioners for the city of Omaha , isnotasufliclent reason for the Republican to climb onto thn old man's frame and stand on his neck. The Republican may as well take Its disappointment as lichtly and phil osophically , as possible. The republican party In Nebraska will see that the old man is taken care of.

An Abaurd Claim * Wettrotnt HtpuWean. The Nebraska railway commission has Ukeu ft very peculiar stand. It claims that the railroads which run from Chicago via Omaha to Lincoln should haul goods from the first named city to Lincoln just as cheap as they do to Omaha , or as they put It , to Missouri river points. We do not profess to understand railroad business , but just from a common ecnso view of the subjoci , this ap pears to bo a very absurd claim. If Mucolti [ entitled to 'receive ttio same rates us Omaha , then tbo distance the company hauls ; oods has nothing to do with the charge. If .hl.s is the case then Hastings Is also entitled lo receive the same rates as Lincoln. The itminllty of this claim Is sclt evident.
