Droctcd in violation of that cij.y'n ordi-

MONTHS ago certain members of the
city council were notified that the bond
of Regan Brothers wus missing , jot
they were content and made no stop to
ward Uncling it. This is only ono case
of gross negligence , Others are bound
to como to the surface. The council ,
"however , are just as inditToront about
the proper fulfillment of the contracts
by Rogan Brothers as they were about
the bond.
THE recent sudden death of E. P.
Roe , the novelist , will carry regret to
thousands of his admirord. For amonj ;
contemporary American writer * * there
can bo no dispute that his novels
are immensely popular. Ho was
most favorably known through
his throe successful novels , "Barriers
Burned Away , " ' "Opening a Chestnut
Burr , " and ' 'From Just to Earnest. "
Whatever literary merit his writings
possess , they vest their claim chiefly
on the moral sentiment taught. As a
clergyman , Mr. Roc appealed distinctly
to this element. His stories are ser
mons dressed in fiction and their pur
pose was to point out to the reader the
'way ' of honor and of duty. In this res
pect ho was eminently successful. His
novels were on the healthy side of life
and their largo sale and appreciation
attests to the immense influence they
have exerted.
IT may bo interesting for the women
active in the charitable work of Omaha
to learn what the women of other neigh
boring cities are doing for the sake of
humanity. In St. Paul a project organ
ized by the lenders of charities , is on
foot for the establishment of "headquar
ters of a body of interests and industries
having especial relation to the place and
vrork of women in the modern commun
ity. " In other words , it is the purpose of
these philanthropic women of St. Paul
to bring under ono roof the various
business specialties which women con
duct , by stores for women's trading , by
looking and industrial schools , and by
Iho "woman's work exchange , " the
"woman's business "
union , bolides -
lidos the various charitable and so
cial organizations conducted by women.
Centralizing those various , industries
fend charitable iiibtitutions under u
Jingle building , it is thought , will af
ford the opportunity for a greater
tunount of system nnd economy in the
Vrork of exalting woman's sphere. The
task undertaken by these St. Paul la-
flies in commendable , and the cxpori-
) nont , if successful , will bo adopted by
Dthor cities interested in the problem of
bettering the condition of women.

Italian Immigrants.
Tlio Italians of the eastern cities whoi
huvo exhibited t-o much solicitude re
garding the immigration investigation ,
now in progress , by a committee of con
gress , and which hns particular refer
ence to the importation ot contract
labor , wont far astray in assuming that
thcro vns any purpose to discriminate
against their people. Natives of Italy
coining to tlio United States who nro
not amenable to existing laws restrict
ing immigration will always enjoy the
same privileges that are accorded to
tlio pcoplo of all other countries. This
govern men t will never make any regu
lations as to immigration that would
not leave the people of Itnly on an
equality with the o of the most favored
nation. The roa on why Italians have
figured most conspicuously in the public
dihcustion of this matter is in the fact
that for a year past these people have
boon swarming to our shores in si steady
and incruiulng stream , nnd it became
obvious that they were being brought
hero under conditions Hint contravened
the law against importing contract
labor. During the lirot half of tl.c
present year there were landed in New
York over thirty-five thousand Italians ,
a largo number , perhaps a majority ,
being practically paupers when they
arrived. This grout influx naturally at-
ttaetcd attention , and investigation
left little doubt that fully two-thirds
of it wns forced. These pco
plo , taken uhargo of by so-
called contractors , were distributed
about over the country to other pretended
tended contractors who found them
work. The largo majority , however ,
remained in the east , anil iib. < eon as Iho
labor market became depressed thou
sands of thorn were thrown out of em
ployment. Within a month it has been
reported that a very largo number of
these pcoplo , drawn from their native
land by deceptive assurances , and com
pelled to Day most outrageously for
being deceived , were sulToring for the
necessities of life in New York nnd
vicinity. But still the inflow continued.
This was a s-tnto of affairs that cer
tainly demanded investigation in the in
terest both of a proper enforcement of
our laws and the welfare of this chis-f of
immigrants. It was clearly desirable
to abcertain whether these people were
being induced to come hero in violation
of law and being outrageously mulcted
to pay alleged contractors and agents
for bringing them here and securing
them employment. Every reasonable
Italian hhould have welcomed such an
investigation , and it is surely not a pro
ceeding with which the government of
Italy can find fault. At all events it
has been fully justified 1 > y results thus
far. The testimony ot the Italian vice
consul at New York and of immi
grants who have npppenrcd before the
committee conclusively shows that there
is ti thoroughly organized system for pro-
moling the immigration of Italian la
borers , and that when brought hero
these people arc mercilessly plundered
by the "contractors , " who as a rule , ac
cording to the vice consul , kept in New
York a bank , saloon , labor bureau and
ticket otllco all in one a combination
for robbing the immigrant who became
enmeshed that wns pretty sure to keep
him practically a pauper for years.
Manifestly the government would not
bo justified in permitting &uch a state
of things to continue without taking
notice of it , and it is already evident
that it would have been well , particu
larly for the thousands of Italians
now idle and subsisting on
charity in the eastern cities ,
if the investigation had boon entered
upon a year earlier. It can hardly fail
now , however , to be productive of very
beneficial results in warning the labor
ers of Italy and of other countries
against the specious inducements hold
out by the agents abroad of real or pretended
tended contractors for labor in the
United States , nnd in apprising all gov
ernments that this country intends to
rigidly enforce the law prohibiting the
importation of contract labor.
lioiiorin * ; American Authorp.
The banquet given in London last
Wednesday by the Incorporated Society
of Authors to distinguished representa
tives of American literature , was in
more respects than ono a notublo ovont.
It wns the first time the bocioty linti
fehown such consideration to the men
and women of letters of the United
States and is therefore likely to become
memorable as the starting point of
moro intimate social and literary rela
tions between the authors of the two
nations. There has boon a growing
tendency in this direction for some
years. The claims of American
men and women of letters to recogni
tion have been steadily assorting' them-
bolvos , and though acknowledgment has
boon reluctant and tardv , except ns to a
few , the number of whom can bo counted
on the fingers of ono hand , the action of
the Incorporated Society of Authors is
evidence that at last it has como. Ono
important circumstance that hns hast
ened this dawning of an "era of good
feeling" between the authors of Eng
land and America , is the mutual effort
they hnvo boon making to secure inter
national copyright laws by which both
shall bo protected und bo no fitted. In
pursuing this effort the authors of Eng
land hnvo learned that those of America
nro qnito as eager ns are they
to bring about a policy that
shall operate fairly and justlj
to the writers of both countries , and
prevent that system of. piracy which hat
been a grave wrong to both. A senti
ment of mutual respect was the natural
outcome of this enmity of fooling , pur
pose and action , and the departure sig
nalized by the London banquet was sig
nificant of how strong this sentimoni
has become.
There may bo nothing in this ev n' '
that appeals specially to the pride 01
patriotism of Americans. It wns not i
condescension on the part of the Incor
poratcd Society of Authors to entortait
James Russell Lowell , Bret Harto , am
the score or moro of other ropre&onta
lives of American literature who grnce <
the banquet table on this interesting
toresting occasion. They are all worthj
of such consideration. But none tin
less it was an event to excite n fcolin )
bf gratulation , by reason both of tin
testimony it boars to the present cordin
relations' between the author * 'of th
two lands and Iho beneficial effects Umt
may reasonably bo expected to flow
from it. The ono circumstance that
marred the harmony of the occasion
was unhappily the faultofnn American ,
nnd he no loss a personage than the
representative of the national dignity
and authority. Owing to some defect
in the phraseology of his invitation ,
Minister 1'helpa did not attend thobnn-
quot , nnd quite naturally his nbsunuo
was the subject of general comment. The
event had boon freely referred tOln the
pre.-s for days in advance , so that Mr.
Phelps must certainly liavo been fully
informed regarding the tlmo nnd plnco ,
but because of some ambiguity respect
ing those in the Invitation the minister
mndo it an cxcubo for non-atlondanco.
Uo very likely had some other reason ,
but in any event bin failure to be pres
ent at the banquet will not advance him
in the regard of his own countrymen ,
whatever 'jfi'cct it may have on the
minds of Englishmen. But It is to be
said that Minister Phclps had never
shown any great concern as to what was
thought of him in tlio country ho repre
sents.
Till- : committed on agriculture of the
house of representatives hnd an awaken
ing a few days ago and resumed consid
eration of the pure food problem , re
garding which a great deal was said
nnd proposed enrlior in the session. Its
most important action was in Instruct
ing the committee to report the pure
food bill introduced early in June.
Thi& bill is general in its scope , prohib
iting , under penalties , the manufacture
and pale of adulterated food products ,
except when properly designated. It
provide * for the creation in the
department of agriculture of a
division to bo known as the
ford division , equipped , with a
chief and corps of assistants , and makes
provision for the appointment by the
president of chemists in a do/.cn of the
p'rinoipal cities whoso duty it shall bo
to examine and analy/.o food brought
to their attention. A food inspector
with assistants for each slate and terri
tory is also provided for. The com
mittee agreed with Mr. Laird that
tliuro bhcuUl be an investigation of the
packing and refining establishments in
the largo cities , and his resolution to
send out a sub-committee for this pur
pose was adopted , De.iirablo as it may
be , however , to secure adequate legis
lation for preventing the adulteration
of food , there is little proba
bility that anything decisive
will bo done at the present
session. The departure contemplated
by the bill to be reported should receive
more thorough and careful considera
tion than can bo given it in the time
that congress will probably still remiiin
in session , and it is a matter of too much
importance to bo hastily disposed of.
Tin : gold product of the United
States last year was less by a million
dollars than that of the previous year.
An increase had been expected. The
yield of the gold mines in Australia ,
Russia and South America declined in
a corresponding ratio with those of this
country. This will doubtless explain
the decline in silver in London. The
indications arc not favorable to any in
crease in the gold supply , either in this
or other countries. The product of the
mines of Australia does not increase.
Russia appears to have i cached the
limit of its possible output. Tlio African
minca have not fulfilled their promise.
A handsome yield is re
ported from Venezuela , but it
is tc-o small to cut any
liguro in the world's supply. The
Michigan discovery is not to bo largely
counted upon. The gold product of last
year probably did not exceed ninoty-
cight million dollars. The coinage was
nearly ono hundred and twenty-five
millions. It is evident that this dispro
portion between tha supply and the
coinage cannot be maintained , and that
cither now sources of gold supply must
bo discovered or some other form of
money must bo substituted for gold
coin. The enemies of silver may study
to advantage the situation presented by
these figures.
Tin : remarkable feat of John Ander
son , of Johnstown , who passed nine days
of his life in the bottom of a caved-in
well , will bo a big card for the state.
Nobody but a sturdy Nobrasknn can do

Tlio Northern Ni'brjiskiJ Journal , published

The Knox County Capital propounds this
conundrum : "How do the farmers of Knox

United States senate ! The Union Pacific
railroad attorney , and head of the railroad
crowd of this state to represent the Interests
of the farmers in the national congress. The
man who furnished the train If not the
money that bought the men who wore
elected to support Van Wyek two years ago ,
but betrayed their constituents. Will the
farmers of ICnox county bo made to vote for
a candidate for the legislature this fall because -
cause he happened to call himself a repub

The Heaver Crossing Huglo blows a very
strong blast at the pretended nnti-mouops of

their saying that Hon. Wm. Leeso is a dem
agogue might bo given attention , but as W.
T. Scott , a chronic ofliec-scckcr , by the way ,
is working hard for the opposition , every
charge Ins friends make is received with u
great deal of allowance. And when they
attack Wm. Loose , who has done more and
no ono denies what everyone knows to bo
true for the pcoplo in the contest with
railroads than any other man in the state ,
they arc simply making themselves ridicu
lous and proving that all their pretensions
of honesty in politics nro nothing but the
same greed for which they nttac'.c everyone

The O'Neil Frontier stirs up the pcoplo to
look out for their Interests , in the following
language : "Tho interests of our state as
well n < * of our county , demands that honest ,
capable men bo sent to Lincoln this winter
to represent us , as u legislation of vast im
portance will , ( or ought to ) conio up for con
sideration and passage. The transportation

lies of various kinds and the submission
question nro all of vital importance , and care
ful , wise and Judicious legislation Is neces
sary to correct the eyUs'which now exist and

So that it behooves the pcoplo of these dis
tricts ns well as all over , the state , to bestir

data of the convention draws near , and it is

The part that the railroad commission will
play in thu present state campaign calls lorth
the following from the Broken Uow Ilcpub-
llcan : "There is a strong effort being made
all over the state by the railroads to got con
trol of the scnato the coming winter , with
the evident intention of modifying the rail
road commission bill which was passed at
the last session. The operation of it when
honestly executed gives the board more
power than they desire them to have ,
nnd since the board has shown an inclina
tion to exercise it in the interests of the people
ple , a modification has been determined
on. While we do uot favor cutting railroad
rates below fair nnd profitable compensation
for transportation , wo believe there should
bo no change in the law as it now stands ,
and the power to establish rates should bo
left just where it is , with the board of
commissioners , who , appointed by the gover
nor , are working in the Interests of the pee
ple. The only change , If any , in the existing
law should provide for the board being
elected Instead of appointed , with that
change it might bo bettor. Hut in no case
should the power of the board bo taken
nway which authorizes it to fix rates. "
The political bosses of Custcr county nro
given n great stirring up by the Ouster
Loaderwhich says : ' 'For several years Cus-
tor county politics have baen manipulated
und controlled by a little ring of sclf-connt- !
tuted political bosses in UrokenBow , who as
sume to dictate to the caucus nnd the con
vention , nnd have , by their schemes , named
their "slate" candidates in the past hi nearly
every instance. They "soft-soap" our conn
try delegations , and by hoodwinking them
get them to piny into their hands to carry out
their ring schemes. This ring has become
so confident of their power to control our
county political machinery that they openly
pass out the voters of Custer county
their ready-made political slate and say to
our county precincts , 'send In your delega
tions to vote for this slate combination.1 It
is simply 'tako your medicine nnd look
pleasant. " Now wo are not u propliot or the
son of n prophet , but wo can see very plainly
that the signs of the times presage a stinging
rebuke to these self-appointed dictators nt
the polls of our county aud in our approach
ing county convention. That the pcoplo of
Custcr county nro tired of this ring dicta
lion can bo heard on all hands , ami no voters
can sit Idly by mid allow it to go on as it has.

To Colonel Lament : There is n good deal
of inquiry In regard to the president's letter
of acceptance. Won't you bo kind enough to
step over to the dead letter ofllco and see if 11
isn't there ! You know that the president in
his eagerness to let tho" committee know for
sure tliat ho accepted , may have misdirected
his letter , or may have forgotten to put a
Btamp on It. Or oven if the letter was prop
erly directed and stamped , it may have gene
astray nil the same. You nro doubtless
aware that the postal sorvlco of these United
States hasn't been first-rate sinc'o jour party
friends took hold at Washington. If you
find the letter at the dead letter oulco it
might bo well not to trust it again to the

tists , statesmen and army officers will con
tribute articles to the wont.
Emperor Frederick shortly before his
death gnvo audience to a little English boy
six years old , who had undergonn the opera
tion of tracheotomy about a year ago. The
boy had not only survived the operation but
had grown strong and healthy. Emperor
Frederick heard of his case and , desiring to
see him , paid his expenses from London to
Potsdam , He examined the child's throat
nnd heard him tnlk , wiiilo the Empress Vic
torla plied him with bonbons that he might
show how well ho could swallow.
Prince Bismarck is shavoJ every day by

recently made public n curious fact. Bis
marck's beard , unlike that of most men ,

Reflections Upon Their Advantages
nnd Disadvantages.
There are few pcoplo who contend Hint
wooden sidewalks nro better than these of
stone nnd these few uro generally the pur-
sons who have been ordeicd to icplaco their
planks by moro substantial material. It wns
a great thing for the board of public works to
do. Surely they will be commemorated by
lasting monuments in this manner : "In
memory of these who beautified our city ,
elevated the condition of the laborer , nnd
made the sidewalk contractor n million
aire. "
Just thlnii of the advantages of these now
sidewalks I When the festive bunann peel
takes its morning constitutional and suddenly
brings to grief some well-dressed , corpulent
person , no spring-board gently lifts him in
the air or makes him bound up and down on
its bosom ; but Instead , his lower litnbs unex
pectedly slip from under him and ho comes
flown with n thump. As ho limps
off , ho is fully nwnro of the
great advantage of stone over wooa. As ho
walks along untH ho finds whom ono pave
ment Is somewhat higher than the next , ho
stubs his toes against no soft nnd giving step ,
but realizes at once that the new walks nro
much harder and moro substantial than the
old ones. The shoemaker , llko the cobbler In
"Caesar , " rubs his hands In anticipation of n
rich harvest of soles and Jingles the prospective -
pectivo silver in his pocket ns he takes in the
worn boots.
But there are always two sides to every
question. No moro the playful rats enjoy
their cheerful homes beneath our feet. No
moro the plaintive crickets crawl from their
unmolested holes to greet the rays from the
electric lights. Each and all have removed
their abodes to the moro quiet neighbor
hoods lu the suburbs of the city. No moro
do the ladles tear their skirts on projections
or wrench off their heels in an unof
fending knot .hole. Nor can ono
now , by walking slightly in
front of his companion , bear down an un
fastened board BO as either to trip him or to
hit n sharp rap upon his shins. No loosened
plank nffords a convenient teeter , nor will
our sidewalks disappear to fill the stoves of
those who fall to buy their coal.
All those pleasures and conveniences have
been abolished at ono foil swoop. Tnat they
will bo iftijljr misted no ono Can doubt , 'bu
then , everyone mint submit to these loiici
and console himself with the few advant
ages. If this cannot be done , it must bo re-
inembcred that Uierc nro a few wooden walk *
remaining in these portions of tlio city whcra
the sidewalk edict has not yet obtained lU

Cleveland and Ills Friends Afraid of
New York fitute.
NnwYoiiK , July 23. [ Special Telegram
to Tin : Bun. ] A prominent politician says
the so-called fishing trip of the president Is n
disguise for n political mission. It is noticed
that the president stops on Long Island , and
that the place Is very accessible to politician *
The fact Is that politicians who uro support }
ing the administration nro much concerned
nt the situation In New York. They don't
wholly understand it. H Is n fact that
Hewitt is not reconciled to the administra
tion , nnd It is doubtful whether ho will do
anything for the ro-elcctlon of Cleveland.
Ho gave u check for ? : wCOO , four years ago.
Edward Cooper , too , is disgruntled , nml is
indignant that the president should hnvo en-
cournxcd the free tradc.rs to nnnlhl-
late the protectionists on the pint for in
committee nt St. Louis. And ns
for Tammany , that organization Is
becoming very defiant and aggressive. The
sachems say that they intend to elect thair
delegates for sheriff nnd mnyor of Now
York. That done they have no overwhelm
ing interest In Grover Cleveland , and they
never have hnd. Democrats who nro close
to t'ao administration nro reported to bo
very much afraid that Warner Miller will bu
elected governor of New York nnd Hen
Harrison president of the United States , and
that the candidate of Tammany hull for
mnyor of New York , who will probably bo
Congrcssmnn Sam Cox , will be elected. Thu
rtport has caused great dissatisfaction nnd
apprehension in administration circles. One
ot Uiaslgnificant Indications of the doubts ol
democrats as to New York Is to bo found In
the fact that the democratic national coin-
mlttco lias not commenced operations in
New York tate , and seems to bo in a con- ' *
tlon of paralysis.
