THE ministers who have recently so
journed in Omaha have bestowed high
compliments upon this city and lu skir
ting enterprise through the eastern press ,
but nearly every compliment is coupled
with the romalc that the wretched sideWalks -
Walks in Omaha are a great drawback to
the comfort of visitors.
A VERY peed evidence of the growth of
Omaha's population it to bo seen in the in
crease of street railroad travel This has
been quite marked within the vast few
months. The inconveniences and dis
comforts Incident to thls.travel have also
Increased , owing to the ( act thai tbo
growth of business has uot boon mot by
commensurate increase of facilities.

not afford to play second llddlo. Omaha has

You are talking to the point. Omaha
Will not be outdone by any city this side
ot San Fraucisoo. It Is only a matter of

as any cosmopolitan city can boast.
TnK stockholders and patrons of the
Nebraska National bank are to bo con

Lewis S. Rood to Us active management
in the position of flrU vice-president , to

success is the measure of man's abilities
in any vocation , Lewis 8. Reed will take
high rank among our ablnst and
roost careful business men. During n
twenty years' residence in Omaha , Mr.
Rood has acquired a reputation for rare
business ability and unbending integrity ,
which in itself would afford him anund <
ant capital In any enterprise. Mr. Reed
I' ' is one of the few mnn whose faith in thr
\'i \ future of Omaha has never been shaken ,
and his marked tinancial success is the
reward of his sagacity and confidence ,
At the desk heretofore occupied by Mr ,
Henry W. Yates , the president of th
Nebraska National , who has retired to
the less exacting labor in the directors' '
room , Mr. Reed will find a broader field
for the exercise of bis superior business
tbilitlea.
The Return of the Flags.
In ordering the return to the authori
ties of the states that wore ongngod In ro-
bclllon the lings taken In battle by the
union forces , and which by act of con
gress have boon preserved ni trophies in
the war department at Washington ,
President Cleveland committed the
gravest mlstako of his public career. It
was n mlstako from the patriotic point of
vlow , n mlstako politically , nnd n mls
take lu being without authority ot huv ,
so fur as appears , and therefore purely
arbitrary. It was ono of these mistakes
for which it is Impossible to And any
adequate excuse , palliation or justifica
tion. Its most charitable explanation
Is found m assuming that it was
the result of an Impulse , followed with
out any consideration of ltd significance
or possible effects , as Mr. Cleveland In
timated in his letter to-day.
It has not been the understood habit of
Mr. Cleveland , however , to yield
heedlessly cither to his Impulses
or to advice , and therefore Ids explana
tion of "moro careful consideration" will
hardly bo generally accepted. Until the
sweeping condemnation of his act by
! J50Oi)0 indignant veterans brought him tea
a state of realization thcro ap | > oarcd to
DB no fair reason to doubt that
the action of the president , whether
suggested or of his own conceiving ,
was taken deliberately. The proof
of this would show that Air. Cleve
land is wanting in several essential quali
ties , without which no man can com
mand the roapoct and confidence of a ma
jority of the American people.
The indignant condemnation of this
proceeding already pronounced and
which will bo heard m swelling chorus
for some time to como , notwithstanding
his compelo backdown , is a natural and
warrantable protest against what every
loyal man must regard as a wholly un-
justiliablo surrender of the most sacred
evidences of the valor and sacrifices of
the soldiers of the union. It Is a kind of
sacrilcgo which every man who
fought to overthrow the cause these
Hags represent will fool bound
to resout as ho would the defamation of
his courage or his loyalty , to which these
blood-bought trophies bca ? unimpeach
able testimony. It is a derogation of
patriotism , a crimination of these who
preserved these relics of conquered re
bellion , a wrong to'tho memory of the
soldlcrs dcad , aud art Insult to these liv
ing. It bows the bead of loyalty to the
foot of disloyalty , and rendering back
the ambloma of treason to these who still
honor them invites a ranowal ot homage
to the lost causo. It wcro oottor to de
stroy these llazs burn them to ashes
and scatter the ashes to the winds than
to thus dispose of them In the manner at
first suggested by the proaident.
It is quite conceivable that President
Cleveland cannot appreciate the signiii-
canco or moral worth , ot thews relics. Ho
was not a soldier , aud it is not apparent
that ho has any sincere sympathy with
soldiers. If ho has over concerned himself
in any way for thotr welfare the fact has
not been discovered , and as to having
any sentiment regarding their valor and
sacrifices ho is uot capable of it. But in
so grave a matter as this it might have
been expected that tha promptings of or
dinary discretion and common sense
would have dissuaded him from the
course he attempted to follow. A
moment's reflection should , have
convinced him , as he claims to have
boon latterly convinced , that the
proceeding ho ordered , would bo
regarded by the loyal people of
the country as tha most serious
of offenses. Was such reUoclion pre
cluded by his inordinate .desire to still
further commend himself to the affection
and confidence of the controlling element
of the southern democracy ?
If so , his reconsideration at once places
'him in an unenviable attitude. With re
spect to tha president's authority in this
matter action was at once take.ii in
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia to test it. Proceedings were also
hastily instituted by General Boynton
under instructions from. Governor For-
aker , on behalf of the Grand Army of
Ohio. A dispatch to a New York paper
states that the order of the president was
misconstrued by the adjutant genera ) ,
and that instead of a general surrender
of rings it authorized the return of only
one line , ' . ( 'his , however , is shown by
the presidont's last latter to bo falso.
It is not probable that the secretary
"
of war and the adjutant general" would
both misinterpret an order that must
have been couched in simple and explicit
terms , aud from Ita very nature would
command their closest attention.
Unless all report * are badly at fault ,
the president will not be able , even by
his retraction of the order , to avoid his
responsibility in this matter , or lessen the
gravity of tula supreme mistake ; of hia
public earner.
A Decision on Section Poor.
The interstate commerce commission
grows wiser with experience. The deci
sion rendered on Wednesday regarding
the meaning of the perplexing fourth
section of the intor-stato commerce act ,
unanimously concurred in by the com
mission , will be generally commended.
It very greatly simplifies tha situa
tion by correctly delhiins , agreea
bly to tha obvious Intent of the law ,
the privileges of the railroads and the
limited duties of the commission. It
shows a complete departure from the
policy which the commission has hereto
fore pursued , clearly without warrant in
the language of the law. For example
there will bo no more suspyn.-nuna of-the
long and short haul clause upon the ap
plication of railroads for relief.
It is declitpd thnt the roads
must judge for thimtalvos in making
special rates whether they are acting
within the requirements of the law , tak
ing the risk of the consequences' . If a
railroad company believes the circum
stances such as to warrant it in departing
from the encral rule it may proceed to
do so , subject to accountability bcforo
the commission and courts upon a com
plaint made to cither tribunal. The
commission will take no amion in ad
vance , ai it certainly has no authority to
do so. The railroads will act with entire
freedom of judgment , but with the liabil
ity of being called on at any time to show
justification of their action.
This position is in accordance with iho
view whicl the HKE has maintained since
the commission began its labors. Wo
pointed out when it adopted the policy
which it has now abandoned that it had
misinterpreted the intent of the law and
mistaken its function. It is sim
ply what it now only pretends
to bo , h tribunal for determining the
legality or Illegality of the action of the
railroads under the law , when such action
Is properly called in question In the way
prescribed by the act. The construction
given by the commission to certain fea
tures and phrases of the law , and the
suggestions made for the guidance of the
railroads m certain circumstances , are
presented with a clearness that leaves no
excuse for misinterpretation. There can
bo no doubt that the altitude now taken
by the commission will have an excellent
ollect. It certainly simplifies the situa
tion nnd puts the law on the right basis ,
and this Is chiefly what has boon needed.
Encouraging Lawlessness.
Mr. MeShano's editor gracefully ad
mit ? that ho was premature and incor
rect in announcing that the police regu
lation ordinance vetoed by Mayor
Hroatch had boon passed over his head
by a two-third vote of the city counclK
That eminent expounder of municipal
law still insists , however , that the police
commission cannot legally oxcrciso its
functions , and that Chief of Police Seavoy
is a more usurper , because their respec
tive bonds have not been approved by
the city council. This is a delusion nnd
a snare. The city charter docs not re
quire n bond from members of the police
commission or the chief of police as ono
of the prerequisite qualifications before
entering upon their respective ofTiclal
duties. The only specific condition pre
cedent that each of these ofllcials shall
take and subscribe an oath to faithfully
discharge his duties and tiio the sarnu
with the city clerk.
The council has the right under the
charter to require any city ollicial to give
bonds , and to fix the amount of such
bonds in each case , but the council can
not pass an ex-poat facto or back action
ordinance that would all'oct the validity
of the police commission or any ofliccr
appointed by it.
In other words , the council may sup
plement the specific provisions of the
charter by ordaining that certain oflicors
who are not expressly required by the
charter to give bonds for the faithful
discharge of their duties , shall give a
bond to fi9 approved by the council , but
they cannot ordain that any oQicial who
wa legally appointed aud installed into
au. oflice before the passage of such an
ordinance shall be suspended until after
the council has seen tit to approve his
ofiicial bond.
Such legislation , would be retroactive
and hcncQ unconstitutional. In view of
the fact that each member of the com
mission and the chief of police have tiled
their bonds with the council , and thus
have complied with the provisions of the
new ordinance to the host of their ability ,
all talk about their ollicial action being
illegal is mere twaddle. We should not
deem it worth while to discuss this sub
ject any further were it not for the de
moralizing : effect of the lawless , mislead
ing assertions which certain editors have
made with aft evident design tooncourago
insubordination in the police force and
lawlessness among the dangerous classes
who infest this community.
IT seems to bo a question whether the
enterprising liquor dealer of Augusta ,
Maine , who imported his liquors and. ex
posed thorn for sale in the original pack
ages , is so thoroughly protected by na
tional statute that ho can carry on a re
tail business regardless of the state law.
It appears that similar cases were before
the supreme court of the United States as
far back as 1847 , when it was held that
a state could not impose on an importer
a license for dealing in goods he had im
ported , since that would bo practically
the imposition of an increased import
duty , and would therefore be unconstitu
tional. But Chief Justice Taney. by
whom this yiew of the court was expressed
'
pressed , also said that if any state , m the
nxercise of its police powers ,
should deem the retail and
internal trallic in ardent spirits injurious
to its citizens , ho saw nothing , in thn con
stitution * lo prevent its regulating or
totally prohibiting it. But even if this
opinion wore overturned the Augusta
liquor dealer will find a restriction to re
tail trade in the custom laws. The small
est package of spirits in "cask allowed to
bo brought into this country is fourteen
gallons. The least quantity of wines or
spirits permitted to ba imported in ono
packaen is twelve bottles. Each cus
tomer must consequently carry away at
least a dozen bottles of brandy or fourteen
gallons of rum or Irish whisky to como
within the provisions of the law. Mean-
whilu , however , the Augusta man is
doing business at the old stand , and at
last accounts the "original packages"
were moving off with a briskness which
showed they mot a long and largely felt
want.
AH OTHER vigorous effort will be made
to secure from the uoxt congress the
legislation necessary to give Alaska a
territorial form of government. It ia be
lieved by those who advocate it to bo the
one thing necessary to give that region a
boom , and about the only formidable op
position cornea from tha Alaska Seal
company , whoso monopoly might be in
terfered with by a change. There is no
longer a doubt that Alaska possesses
mineral wealth , and those best informed
express the belief tijat with encourage
ment from the government it would be
the great gold country of the world.
There Is now on Douglass island whatis
said to be the greatest cold mine nnd the
most extensive milling establishment in
the world. The soil and climate of south
ern Alaska are remarkable , considering
the latitude , the winters there fre
quently uot bohijj as coldon the average ,
as here. The soil , says one who has
made a study of It , is as good as that of
Vermont and Now Hampshire , and al
though Alaska will never be famous as a
grain producing country , it can support
millions of inhabitants with food. The
land is not cultivated now at all , for the
reason that the people are too busy with
the more profitable industries of mining ,
lislnng and sealing. All provisions are
carried up from the states , and very high
prices ore paid for them. The arguments
in favor of giving Alaska a territorial
government are certainly substantial.
THERE are some portions of the city
very much in need of efficient sanitary
treatment. If tbo officials charged with
this duly will apply themselves with
moderate diligence they will tind ample
reward for their efforts in some locali
ties in the northern part of tha city. Ex
posed refuse mutter germinates the
seeds of disease rerr rapidly at thbj
season , amd it mast Bet be permitted to
accumulate. The authorities have no
duty moro Important at this time than
that of keeping tho'clty-clcau.

who Incurred his displeasure ; ( or thu rowdy
principles which he expressed In proclaiming
that Mr. llichardsoi * of Lonp City , ought to
have been killed because he Is a mugwump ;
and for his lying attacks on Governor Tbay *
r , who was of the sound opinion that a
rowdy ought not to be appointed police com
missioner of Omaha. The rowdy editor has
not been able to defend himself , and seems
to consider It a consolation for his suffering
coat to quit exchanging with the Indepen
dent * on whose table the Republican for some
Uins baa not appeared. If tb Republican
will quit exchanetng with all the papers
whoso opinion about Itotliacker and the

Xhe Future llclr of Forty Millions nt
Worn unit 1'lny Itcopcctod for
UU Abilities , Industry
and Modesty.
A young mnn of about twenty-four
years of age , live feet eight inches in
height , with a rather swarthy complexion
and jet blank eyes , says a Now York lot-
UT.enters the great Western Union build
ing every morning about 0 o'clock , ROCS
up to the third story in the elevator , en
ters his private office , throws off his coat
and plunges into work. About 4 o'clock
ho leaves the bulldiug.walxs down to the
Battery and boards a steam yacht , which
Immediately nails up the Hudson river ,
bound for Irvington , about twenty miles
distant. Thu young man will ono day bo
one of the great linnncial powers of this
country. It Is Gcorgo G. Gould , ton of
Jay Gould , whose fame is world-wide.
Young Gould during the winter lives in
Forty-seventh strcot , one door below his
father's large double brownstone house ,
on the corner of Fifth avenue aud 1'orty-
sevcnth strcot. lie aud his wife will
upend the summer with the elder Gould
at Irvington. Ho is identified with the
Western Union telegraph company , the
Pacitic mail steamship company , the
Manhattan elevated railroad and the
Missouri Pacitii ! . Missouri , Kansas
& .Texas , loxas & Pacilio ,
St. Louis & Iron Mountain and other
Gould roads. As is well known , ho has
been married for about a year to a for
mer actress , who madu some reputation
on the stngo as a soubrctto. Young
Gould is ; i sensible fellow , and this fact
was Illustrated by a little incident on the
dav of his wedding. Late on the ovout-
fuf day the fact that ho was to bo < iuintly
married at his father's mansion in Irvington -
ton , became known in the city , and
naturally the city editors , those journal
istic generals who command the reportorial -
torial corps , wore impressed with the im
portance of the occasion , and they sant
thuir reporters hero and there in a fran
tic hunt for the news. Few thought it
worth while to go up to Irvington , but
ono bright young writer for a well
known luminary decided that ho would
draw truth from the fountain boad. Ar
riving at Irvington , the pleasant town
named after the genial author of the
"Sketch Book. " ho nirod a barouche and
told the driver to take him up to the
residence of Mr. Gould , several miles
distant. They had epne hardly moro than
a mile when the driver , nodding in the
direction of nn approaching equipage
guy with jingling silver trappings and
spirited horses , driven by a liveried
coachman with a pompous little footman
by his side , said :
"Shurc , hero conies Mr. Gould now ,
sor. "
"Wheel around , " said the reporter ,
"and don't let him beat you in gutting
back to the depot. "
The rcportorial turnout was not ono
which a pen-on would be proud to show
in Central park. The horses were angu
lar In their appearance and scorned like
embodied reminiscences of the seven
years' famine in Egypt. But if they
seemed to lack speed , appearances were
deceptive , for they won I ho race to the
depot by several lengths. Young Gould ,
ns it proved , had just been married and
was starting on his wedding trip. VVhen
he alighted and saw the reporter he
looked rather surprised anil a little sheep
ish. Such n Hairs are always unpleasant
to newspaper men of ability and charac
ter , whatever may bo the opinions of fat-
witted snobs on the subject , and the
young Writer in question of course had
no wish to intrude upon a happy bride
groom , though he had known him for
several years. Ho hoped that thcro
might be some opportunity of securing a
few particulars of the event on the train
going down to Now York from Mr.
Gould himself , and thus avoid mistakes
that would tend to make the whole all'uir
ridiculous. But the future millionaire
having secured his tickets came over to
the newspaper roan , shook hands pleas
antly , and in response to a few inquiries ,
and knowing he was talking to as
thorough n gontlomau as himself , gave a-
modest account of an affair in which the
public were so much interested nnd
which the newspapers were therefore
compelled to notice , and it is of interest
to add that the young millionaire after
ward sent a loiter ut thanks to the news
paper writer for the good taste in which
his account of the event was vritten.
The future heir to forty millions
had what some of the wealthy
cads and snobs of this and other
parts of the country would not have had ,
namely , the good icnso to recognize the
fact that bis father's prominence mudo
the public interested in the son , and that
a correct nnd modest account of the af
fair was better than the mistake or ex
aggerations that might result from a re
fusal to sot tno newspapers right. "Make
it modest , " was his only remark. This
remark wita characturistic. There is
nothing of the vain , pretentious snob
about him. Many an idle young follow ,
heir to possibly a fiftieth part of this
young man's , fortune , struts about
with an insolent air , allccti the English
starw , and generally makes himself ridic
ulous , but George Gould is liked for his
qtiiot , modest manners and respected for
his abilities and industry , lie is a gradu
ate of Cornell university and a member
of the Union and Manhattan clubs. Ho
relieves his father ol much of the routine
work of the various Gould interests. Mrs.
George Gould Is a patroness of govern !
well known chuntius and the young
couple in time will doubtless become
prominent in society.
FORCE OF HABIT.
Iis KflVct on llo.oiiHllllity For
Human Action.
Philadelphia Record : It is a nice ques
tion how much the force of habit dulls
thu edge of responsibility for human ac
tion. The first time a thing is done
there is a deh'nlto object anil a definite
choice in thu doing , unless It bo acci
dental. The next Line , the choice hav
ing been previous determined , them is
less thought about it ; and .still loss the
next time , until thu movement its to both
the body and the mind becomes largely
mechanical. When a path is continual
trodden our feet li-arn trio way ; s > o that wo
go over It safely ami surely in the dark
without the guitlo of the ayes. Unfortu
nately , the habit of doing wrong things
as well as right things grown uu&ior with
every performance , ihe lirst cig.trettn
sickens the smoker , the lirst debauch ills-
gusts the debauchee ; the first theft wor
ries thn conscience of the embezzler ; the
lirst Iio carries with it the reproach of
moral turpitude , liut thu habit smoothed
over all. Indulgence overcomes ruling-
nancu till the smoker rau.st hiivc his cigar
ami tlio toper his cup. Thu thief .steals
till justice overtaken him , und the liar
lies until he ia almost duped into bolluv-
ing himself by the facility of his inven
tion.
OKOWTII OF GOOD IIAllITs.
Good habits grow upon the constant
doer of goott actions with perhaps moro
lusty readiness tiuin bail ones , for the
rcuanu that they arc backed by an ap
proving coiiBciennu. Wrong must Iio
cultivated until the conscience is subdued ,
while virtue is said to bo iti own reward ,
So frugality , politeness , honesty , charity
and cleanliness bccomo imbedded In out
natures by long custom , "for , " ns Sliako
spcaro has profoundly observed. Mis
can almost change the stamp of nature , "
A sim-ma STANDAIUI.
The importance of first Impression !
mum the minds of young people and of
early training nnd association have bcoti
the thomnof teachers and moralists from
the beginning. Train a child in the way
ho should uo and ho will not depart
from it. Tlioro is no doubt our way
in the world is very largely shaped by
the circumstances that hedge us
around ; but there Is n curious incon-
seqiiunco and irrationality nbout
things that are somotlmos done from
force of habit that nro .seldom taken into
account In judging of the moral or phy
sical results accomplished. For instance ,
when ono dim his mttcilngo brush into
his ink-stand , how far 1.1 ho accountable
for n disaster which ho did not Intend to
bring ont Yet people- with full-grown
and robust habits nro forever dipping
mucilage brushes into ink-bottles for
ever unconsciously thrusting into unac
customed placot ) incongruous thoughts
und unconsidered action * . If the wrong
doer must be judged by the quality of the
thing done , and not by the incitement or
the moral purpose of i.is action , how is it
with the Nlcoilomtiacs who have always
lived up to the letter of the law. If habi
tual wickedness bo no palll.ition for of-
fcnso , does not habitual righteousness
lessen the pralscworthlnc of good
dcedsT If constant blood-lotting make
it easier for a butcher to kill a man , docs
not constant bcnovolonco make it less
commendable for a giver to glvo ? If the
wrong bu done with less compunction in
the ono co.su the charity Is rou dorcd with
the loss hesitation in the other. _
CHK.VTURKS OF IIAllIT.
Our habits , moral and physical , pcihnns
run on , and in our children take the Hhnpo
and name heredity. It is .1 well-settled
behof that there Is as much In the blood
of humans ns in the blood of horses or
dogs. A Buffalo newspaper declares that
the buttons that are still worn on the
back of men's coats are there because
asod ; sgo they wuro put there to sustain
the sword bolt , and a Rochester editor
insists that docs always turn round and
round bcforo they lie down because the
original dogs lu that way beat down a
coiufortablo place in the original grass ,
which , according to Genesis , waa made
before the dogs wore. It would bo well
to bring to thu consideration of the faults
nnd foibles , as well as thu misdocds , of
mankind a little of the careful generaliza
tion by which it is sought to account for
unnecessary buttons and the premonitory
movements of sleepy dogs. Wo are crea
tures of habit.
