TUB Imlf-inilo raco-tr.ick has become
altogether too contrnctud for Omaha.
The fair grounds will have to be enlarged
next year.
THE fourteen hundred regular troops
nt the reunion camp arc decidedly the
greatest attraction , from the standpoint
of a casual observer.
THE pioneer volunteer firemen ol
Omaha will compare favorably with the
Totcran firemen of New York , and that
18 Baying a good dual.
THE naval engagement upon Ctit-Ofl
lake attracted thousands of people. Il
-was a brilliant success in that alone ,
Thorn wore too many horse marines
piloting the rebel craft.
SINCE the investigation at Castle Gar
den in Now York an order has been given
out that no more feci are to bo exacted
from the immigrants. The order is a ,
, good one. The next thing is to enforce it.
No matter who is responsible for th <
organization of our police at the fair am
reunion camp , a close observer will b (
.compelled to admit that no like occasion
in the history of Omaha has enjoyed as
vigilant ana effective police protection.
IN most cities the buttonholing , the
Whisperings in the ear of pothouse poll
tlcians are mostly carried on in their congenial -
genial haunts , the saloons not so here
The council chamber , which should be
: | the political sanoturary of our people
- has been turned into a jobbing-house o :
corruption by the whispering pang
which has been allowed to infest it.
TOE farmers of Frlo county , Texas , are
rfa a desperate condition and have issue t
, n appeal for aid to the publio at largo
It seems as though Texas is largo onougl
and wealthy emu jli to aid such of it
citizens as are in need of help. Eacl
tate should look after its own poor. Tin
ppoal to the general publio is defensi
ble only In case of extraordinary calam
itios.

SIXTY-EIGHT railroads have roportcc
n increase of nearly ten per cent ii
their earnings , for August , over th
earnings for August last year. Thi
dhows , not only that the roads hav
bated nothing in their extortions , bu
Iso the more pleasing fact that thor
lias been a revival in the activity of trade
Jt is expected that the fall and white
months will show a still greater activity
WIIKN Gould said some months age
that he intended to retire from actiy
business those who knew him wura sur
that something was going to happen
and several things have come to pas.
Cyrus Field , squeezed out of several uul
lions , knows Uould has not retired fron
active business. The Haiti more A , Oliii
lias been sold. Now comes the announce
/snent that the Mackuy cable line wil
fBotti bo absorbed by the llnuncial oc
topus. No , Mr. Goald has not retired.
BAD faith on the part of the council
men was the cause of the police muddli
and bad faith has maintained it. Th
police commission , it is well enough t
reiterate , submitted rules for their guidance
anco to the aldermen as soon as they ha <
taken the oath of oflieo and organi/.cd
as required by law. Tno council has no
acted on them up to date. The law re
quires that they should either approve o
disapprove df suuh regulations , lltmo
they are lawbreakers and the const
quonccs are already serious. It ought t
bo an easy matter to deal properly wit
lawbreakers.
THE combine between Cadet Taj
} or and McSlmnu lias been froi
Hie beginning to get the city advertisinf
The plan was that Cadet only should bi
first , got the printing if possible and hoi
it by fair means or foul. Failing in tlii
the Herald was to got it and hold i
until everybody wus worn out. Th
divide commenced with the $804 prc
olamation grab. McShano got $433 an
fJndot ? 433. Then Cadet put his bi
into the treasury and drew out what h
could snatch before Judge Wakoloy1
Injunction stopped him. Now it is Me
phnno's turn at the grab-bag. Mcantim
the game of shuttlecook and battlodor
continues until the courts leek the door
Bf the treasury against the coucertc
Jobbery.
How It Payi.
A public market U not only nn Institu
tion of convenience and advantage to the
people , its wo linvo moro than once
pointed out , but may bo niado a sourcu
of generous rovcnuo to the city , as can
bo shown by the experience of every con
siderable city In which such markets are
established. A supgustive and Instruc
tive example is at hand in the case of
CluVGlaiiu , 0. , which with a population
of perhaps 210,000 has thrco public mar-
krts. Thnaider of that city , In n late
Issue , says : "The public markets arc
probably the most prollttblocon\inloncc :
In the hands of the municipal govern
ment. The market hind is almost in
treed condition financially , and is habit
iiully drawn upon to help out the other
departments. The committee on markets
nnil tliu elty auditor are just now in the
midst of their annual sale of market
privileges. On Monday the West Side
market sale occurred , and $10,671.00 was
received as premiums. The produce and
curb stands at the Central market wen
auctioned off on Tuesday , nutting $20. '
150 in premiums. Thn highest premium
paid was f DUO , and was for a curb stand ,
Lust year the meat stalls at the Central
market sold foriJW.OOO premium. " Thort
is always a very active competiou foi
these market privileges , as the above
figures denote , and the markets , all ol
which uro too small , might bu doubled in
size with the certainty that every stal
and every foot of space would be taker
at liberal premiums. The cxwericnct
with these markets is that while they an
patroni/cd by all classes they are es
pccially serviceable to the middle am
poorer classes. They arc always crowdei
with buyers , and particularly so In tin
early hours of the day by those who wan1
the pick of the vegetables and fruits. Tin
mlluenco of these markets upon tlu
prices of commodities is unquestionably
to keep them down to whcro the scllci
realises a reasonable prolit. The activi
competition compels this. A dealci
whoso articles are especially clioici
may make his own price and get it , bit
there is an average of values establisiici
by competition , which allows simply i
fair prolit , and these determine , to :
largo extent , the prices at the crocrrie
throughout the city. As good quality o
meats can be had at the butcher's stalls
as in the shops , and uniformly at oni
and two cents less a pound. Evurythiii (
ofl'orcd for sale is fresh , for there is no
only a svstcm of careful inspection , bu
the influence of competition asserts it
self as well in this matter as n
others. The dealer whoso articles wcri
not up to the standard would bo ver ;
sure to have them left in Ins hands , am
these is an eagre strife among sellers t
attract buyers nnd establish them ii
favor. It is a struggle in which th
principal of the survival of the fittest i
not wholly absent.
There is not the slightest reason why tin
the experience of Omaha with a publl
market should not bo in all respects a
favorable as has been that of Clovolani
and other cities which have thcso mstl
tutions , and which under no circutu
stances could bo induced to nbandoi
them. Such a market here , centrally lo
cated and open at least thrco days in th
week , would bo fully occupied by sellers
who from the start would give sutticicn
for the privileges to pay a generous tn
tcrst on the outlay and repay to the cit
treasury annually a part of the pnnci
pal. As the city grew the demand
mand for privileges would iucrctvs
and the premiums advance , unti
within a few years tbo cost of the mar
kct houses would bo fully repaid to tli
city and thcso institutions would then
after yield a generous revenue above th
cost of maintaining thorn. Maauwhil
the whole people would bo benelittcd i
the reduced cost of living , which is on
of the essential conditions to the futur
prosperity of the city. A publio murkc
is thus seen to have every consideratio
in its favor , nnd another year sliou.d nt
bo permitted to pass without this ncode
and important addition to the public in
provcmcnta of Omaha.
The Tariff antl Manufacturers.
It is a mistake to suppose that all th ,
manufacturers of tbo country are in fa
vor of maintaining the tar ill' . It has boo
very distinctly shown during the pa ;
year or so that such is not tlio caeo. 1
both the woolen and cotton Industrie :
for example , there arc manufacture !
who think the time has como wliun
would be"to the advantage of the conn
try if the tariff were reduced , and thei
are still other industries which it is b <
hcved by the moro intelligent of thos
engaged in them could not only continu
without the aid of tariff protection , bi
successfully and moro advantageous , !
compute with similar foreign industrit
in the markets of the world if the tanl
as it affects them were cut dowr
These are the manufacturer * wh
have found that so-called protection n
longur protects , but does operate as
barrier against their products in othc
markets , and who believe that America
skill and enterprise can safely bo dc
ponded upon to take care of itself wit
the excellent foundation it now has will
out further artificial stimulus and unna
ural support.
The manufacturers who do not adm
tins , and they are doubtless the majorit'
are these who have grown up and pro !
pored under the existing order of thin ;
so that it has become an essential pa
of their faith , just as strongly posses
ing thorn as any tenet of their r
ligion that waa implanted win
they were in the cradle , an
has becomes firmly rooted i
their minds. Tnoy cannot serious !
contemplate nny pro ] > osition for n chain
without a feeling that they are dotti
violence to something that has U sacrc
claim upon thorn. 1 ho refuse to giv
any attention to these who toll them tin
tlio conditions of trade and busine :
have been undergoing great changes I
the last dozen years , and are now voi
different in certain important rcspec
from what they were when the tari
policy was instituted twenty-flvo yea
ago and for a number of years subs
quent to its adoption. They admit , b
c.uiso they must , such probable facts i
the enormous surplus nnd its Moat
accumulation nnd they kno
this corucs chlufly from tl
tariff , but they insist that some othi
way must bo formed of dealing wi
this problem than by attacking the s
crod policy of protection.
It is going to take further time and e
fort to weaken the bold of fanuticisi
but It will have to bo done. The wclfa
of the country and justice to the pcop
require it. Meanwhile those uianufac
uters who are not indUsolubly' wedded
o the tariff Idol , and have the wisdom to
ECO the necessities of the situation nnd
he inevitable tendencies cannot bettor
employ themselves than in lending their
experience and judgment to the cause of
'cvcnuo ' revision and reform so that
t may bo accomplished with the
cast possible shock to any interest and
vlth reference to the general welfare.
K n for co the Contract.
The contract for the city hall basement
provides that the work shall bo com
peted according to plans and specllica-
lens by the 1st day of July , 1887. When
hat contract wns entered into , nearly n
year ago , U was thought that the board
of publio works had granted too much
hue to the contractor. It could have
> ecn built last fall , or pushed'far enough
o complete tlio job by the 1st of May.
t the contractors , Ilegan' Uros. , as
signed theii contract to another party ,
ind hu dilly-dallied along until
now , two months and a half beyond the
imit , and at his pace it will take twc
nonths longer to complete the basement ,
For more than two weeks past , ho has
not done a stroke of work on this build-
ng , and It looks as if ho docs noi
ntcnu to resume wotk unless allowed If
put In lime-stone In place of sand-stone
ivs required by the contract.
Now , it seems to us that the board o !
public works will bo justitiuc
n having the work com
plctcd according to specifications b ]
some other builder , and charginc
the excess of coat , if any , to the con
tractor and his bondsmen. The city liai
certainly buun very patient and lenient
The delay which has boon caused already
may retard thu completion of the build
ing six months or a year. The contrac
with the county for occupancy of tin
basement of tlio court house will expire
next summer , and the citv may have t <
vacate. In nny event the citv is at :
creat expense for rent. Its olllcers an
inconvenienced and its records are ex
posed to fire risk , ft is time that Honu
decisive action bo taken to enforce tin
contract.
WHILE the citi/ens of Omaha may bi
proud of the city's enterprise and progress
gross , they must still hang their heads ir
shame over the blot on her fair name-
tlto working majority of the council
Other cities have purged themselves o
similar evils. By concerted action amoni
our best citizens wo can also wipe ou
our city's dibgrnco.
Other Ijnntls Than Ours.
The political situation in England ha
presented no now features during thi
past week. The government positioi
regnrding the National league is main
tained , while the proscribed organizatioi
shows no disposition to abate its activ
ity. If not aggressively zealous in promoting
meting she ends it aims to accomplish , i
omits no opportunity to let the worli
know that it ssill has existence , virilit ,
and courage. Its chief labors at preson
are directed to the alleviation of tli
evicted tenants and to counteract th
efforts of the landlords at exturml

ready proved of some service , a mini

whom eviction proceedings had bee :

An invasion by Ayoub would be to

what it really wants is to arrive at

The relations between Germany ai

The determination of the Emperor
in to abandon his proposed
visit to Konigsborg , where ho was
, o meet the cz'ar , is sald to have
been duo entirely to the repre
sentations of his medical advisors , who
liavo all along been opposed lo Ins voni-
iinng to attend the Konigsborg mantcu-
rcra , which would involve great fatigue
under the best possible conditions. And
: hey well know that the emperor , once
ill the field , passes beyond the guidance
of tils physicians and exposes himself
with little thought for the results. Tills
liappencd at Kiel and caused a physical
crisis. The most recent instance of. the
emperor's Imprudence was at the review
of the guards , when ho remained three
liours standing and exposed to the sun
nntl wind , but without appearing to feel
any evil effects. Afterward , however ,
lie was hardly able to bo present
at thu banquet In the schlo.ss , and his
fall after the banquet was undoubtedly
due to increased feebleness arising from
over-exertion. When ho recovered his
feet , without assistance , ho expressed the
fear that his doctors would take advant
age of the mishap and make it a pretext
to dissuade him from going to the ma-
iKuuvres. Communications from the
crown prince urgently supported the
opinion of the doctors , and their advice
was also further fortified by representa
tions from ( /mint von Moltko and Prince
Bismarck. It was only after Count von
Moltko's visit to the emperor that it be
came known that the journey to KonigS'
berg was off. The political aspect of af
fairs will not bo changed by the aban
donment of the meeting with the cv.ar.
The official press lias rightly insisted on
the purelv personal and family character
attaching to the intended meeting.

The Bulgarian question has undergone
no important change , tt is still evident
that Russia proposes to settle the matter
in her own way and is not only solicitous
that thu powers interested in the Berlin
treaty shall keep their hands off in case
she undertakes to settle it. Leaving oul
of consideration the probable action ol
Austria , Russia might be warranted in
assuming the non-interference of powers ,
England has the engrossing Irish ques
tion on her hands'and will probably
venture no further tUau the expression
of an idle wish m the Times "that the

Turkey can do little , and in a scmi-ofliuia
utterance the Porto has intimated that 11
cannot fairly bo expected to do anything
The official organ at Constantinople , the
Turik , has acknowledged the receipt bj
the Porto of a protest from tlio Russia )
government against the validity of tin
olestion of Prince Ferdinand. The Taril
admits the legality of Russia's protest 01
the ground that the treaty of Berlit
states that all the powers must , unani
motisly consent. The article continue ;
that the Ottonvin government has fron
the beginning conscientiously fulfilled it :
obligations , and if peace be not nov
maintained it will bo universally ac
knowlcdgco : that the responsibility fall :
on the real disturbers. This is tbo best
approved fashion of washing its hands ol
responsibility and notifying Priuci
Ferdinand that he must take can
of himself. The prince cloc
has made up his mind to do so , in case hi
can get no one but the Bulagarians t (
help him. Ho has heavily insured his lifi
in order that his death Rhould bencfi
somebody besides his enemies. Bu
though daring the worst , ho still look ;
with hope toward Austria. True , the im
penal government has cleared its skirt :
by securing his retirement from thu Hun

adventurous journey , but it cannot fairl ;

M. Stambuloff , who is the mainstay o

The political fight between the libora
and clerical parties in Mexico is bccom
ing animated , the Maximilian incidcn
serving ns additional provocation. Th
Monitor Jlepttblicano published last wcol
u leading article about alleged plots o
the clergy against republican institn
tlons. It says there appears to bo a well
formed plan to destroy in Mexico thi
precious achievement of religious liberty
and charges that the higher as well a
the lower class of the clergy is constant ! ;
preaching a crusade against religious toi
erance as enjoined by the constitution o
the country. It also charts that this in
tolerance displayed in the persecutions
of the people who hold liberal views , is
the chief cause of there being no influx
of foreign Immigration into the country ,
nnd says : "It Is feared with reason that
the clergy contemplate repeating on
Mexican soil the horrible atrocities of St.
Bartholomew1Day In France. " These
utterances arc regarded as expressing the
( sentiments of the advanced wing of the
liberal party , Which Is opposed to the
slightest concession to thu clericals. .

novel and peculiar accident occurred
Sunday morning which fortunately was
not surious in its effects. A man wus
eating nuts on his way home from

pocket when a flush of lightning accom
panied almost simultaneously with aloud
clap of thunder occurred and he was
observed to fall. He attempted to arise
but immediately fell again. Suveral men
rushed to Ins assistance and found him
unconcious , his face nil drawing up ex
posing his toutti , and his eye-balls
working with a peculiar motion. They
believed him dead and carried him homo
where he was rubbed and restoratives
administered. He continued unconscious
until Monday morning. No mark of any
kind has been found on his body and
there in nothing to indicate anything un
usual at the scene of the accident.

A Storm In tlio I.Ion limiflc.
Pull Mall Gazette : A correspondent
sends us the following account of his ex
perience in the Xoologicul gardens last
night : "Chance took me to the grounds
of thn Zoological society yesterday evening -
ing , and after a stroll around I bad just
time to slip into the building known ns
the Lion house , where also are the tigers ,
jaguars anil leopards , wlicn thn storm
burst In all its fury. In the waning light
the situation was anything but agruoamo
for the little band of belated visitors ,
most of them without umbrellas. The
rain poured d.own with such violence
that the floor of the place was soon cov
ered , owing to the presence of various
overllow pipes which discharged them
selves Insldo of the building. The Hash
ing of the lightning was incessant , and
thu roar of the thunder simply deafening.
As each Hash lit up the dim recesses of the
cagus thu eye lighted upon the savage
form behind thu bars. He was n lion
standing up with Ins ears pricked , as
though the clamor of the elements
brought back to Ins mind dim memories
of "a time when ho i 'owlod the forest
and shrunk from tlio savagery , greater
even than his own , of a tropical storm.
Two leopards who had been snarling at
at ono another appeared to bury the
hatchet in presence of the mysterious
Hashes which over and anon blinded their
liercc eyes ; and their demeanor evinced a
certain mutual conciliatoriness. I-ortho
most part the animals lay perfectly mo
tion less about their dens. A tigress from
Turkestan , was , however , an exception ,
us she seemed to revel in the storm , and
bounded from corner to corner with a
bold defiance of the lightning which ,
with almost the brilliancy of lime-light ,
played upon her. In the next cage a
tiger and tigress whoso course of true
love did not appear to run smoothly , to
judge from the uavty snaps of the lady
when her mate attempted to rub his
nose on her shoulder , were completely
subdued by tlio crashing and llas'.iiug
which was going on around them , and
they couched down in opposite corners ,
with every appearance of terror. When
a slight cessation in the rain gtorm em
boldened the keepers to drive us forth
into thn horrors of the night , it was with
some feeling of relief that I left this par
ticular refuge , for the thoiicht would in
trude itself that if by chance n bolt wore
to strike down a wall there , my four-
foote'd friends would bo very disagreea
ble companions in the dark.
Soldiering.
Chicago Tribune : An ex-soldier was
telling his experience a few days ago.
"Do you want to know , " ho asked , "why
it is that so many soldiers desert from
the army ? Nearly one-third of the army
deserts every year , and there are 12,000
court martials every twelve months , and
this , remember , in an army that doesn't
consist of many moro than 20,000 men
when the ranks are pretty full. Well , the
reason so many desert Is that they
are treated more like dogs than men no ,
not like dogs , for I would rather be an
oflicer's dog than a musket carrier and
never receive any consideration what
ever. That's why a better class of men
don't join the army , I don't kick ou
the pay a common soldier gets $13 a
mouth and clothes and grub is moro
than many a man with a family to sup
port gets but the things a pri
vate puts up with uro to hard
to bear , and its a wonder that fifty
ofllcura ain't shot every year by their
men. Of course the olhYcrs will deny
that there is any brutality in the army ,
but it's there all the same , and the men
would rather , a good deal , bo sent to Ihe
military prison at Fort Loavcnworth
than severe in ranks that is a good
many of them. Why , a private dares
not speak to Ins superior officer , a young
cad just out of Vcst Point , without per
mission. There is too much of the Eng
lish snobbery in our army. Outside the
English our army is the exclusive
ariloiiracy in the world. It's mostly
made up of an officers now , anyhow ,
there being an ofliccr to every eight men
or BO. Its nearly as top-heavy as the
navy and about as nseloss. It supports
a lot of lazy loafers and that's ubout nil
its good for. There's good men in the
army , of course but there's nothing for
them to do but draw their pay. Perhaps
yon think I'm a little bitter , but then yon
must remember that I served live years
in the ranks which is worse than live
years in Jolict nny time. "
