Why the Charter Should n * Adopted.
The fallowing coaimutkicalon ha * "been re
ceived at this oSioe In Mayor Sloace' * in
terview be says "What's the need ot the
cmerffcy clause , any vay I What need is
there in haste In the next thirty aaysf Noth
ing has boon contemplated , and nothing can
be dooo. There was a time , before our grad
ing was done , when we needed the charter
passed hnd to go into effect sit once , and then
the emergency danse would have met my
approval. " Lot me tell you , Mr. Mayor.why
the taxpayers want the charter adopted Bt
once , BO that the oomiag spring election ran
b held under Its previsions. It u almo st
alone for section 18 of > aid charter , which
provides for the election of four oonnc Imen
at large who must be freeholders to the
fitannnt of fWtO and KIVC bond in the sum of
t2W3 Mmcd. by two or more peed nnd suffi
cient sureties who shall each justify that he
is > worth at least tiAO over ana abc > ve ail
debts and exemption * , and shall be condi
tioned for the faithful discharge of duties of
the councilman giving tne same , and shall
be further conditioned that if said
councilman shall vote for any cx-
I > enditure or ajipropriation of monpy.
or the creation of any liability
in cxce s of the amount allowed fay law. that
such councilman and the sureties signinc
said bond shall be liable thereon , and nri.i li
ability sought to be incurred , or debt created
in excess of the amount limited , or uutbor-
ized by law , shall be taken and held by every
court of the state a * the Joint and several
liability and obligation of the councilman
voting for. and the mayor approving the
same , and not tbc debt , liability or obligation
of the city , and voting for or approving of
such liability , obligation , or debt , shall be
conclusive evidence of malfeasance in ofikv.
and for which such councilman or Mayor
mav be removed from his ofilce.
Under the present law the conncilmen fix
the amount of their own bonds , and the bond
of the councilman now is SL.OA ) , nnd no lusti-
fication is required , and 1 question very much
whether n dollar could be collected from any
of them from the way they are drawn.
Under the new law tbc council can not
make gradme contracts and complete them us
this one bus bees done for about f93,033 more
than the law allows , and can not do many
other things tcis council has done that are
clearly illegal. You can't sj > end thousands
of dollars in the street commissioners ; ana
engineers' department as you have
done the past season. You can't
pay an assistant city engineer fd.50
l > cr day a you are now doing and the law al
lows but $ "pOO salary in any one year. Do
you want to watt until after the election is
over before yon adopt the new law , so that
members of tbc combine can be elected from
their own wards , and they will not have to
be freeholders , and can give straw bonds and
then go right along spending the thousands
of dollars above the amount'the law allows
time as they did last year. You say there \vas a
before the grading was done when we needed
the new charter Yes , indeed , we did , and
had wo had It you would not have done grad
ing to the amount of about SIOO.OJO , and
there would not ba as there is nosv a judg
ment against our city for about ST > 0OJO.
Now , Mr Mayor , let us have the election
under the new law , so xve can prevent these
things Dan't stand in the way of the best
interests of our Magic City because yon fear
you may not be re-elected Isn't it pretty
cool for you to say yon will pro
tect your rights in opposition to all
the taxpayers Don't get excited. There
is no occasion for any exhibition of chivalry 1
It will not be necessary to call out the mUitia
not even to increase your unpaid police
force. The people are all right' trust them'
If they want you as a public servant they
will vote yon back into the mayor's oHlce' If
they don't want you you ought to have too
much pride and too high a sense of honor to
force yourself upon them or attempting to
defeat the administration of what you admit
is a much r.eeded law. I could give many
other rood reasons why the charter should
bp adopted at once , bat am ashamed to let
the public know how our city jrovernment
has been ran in the past year and the de
plorable condition of our finances.
A South Carolina Daisy.
M. J. McManus comes from an aristocratic
South Carolina family , but bis ways of life
like Byron wrote , "bringeth shame on all his
ancestry. " For some months Mr. McManus
has been working at the packing house of
Sivift & Co. , and while in the Magic City
has ingratiated himself into tne confi
dence of John Swift , a Boston
born and bred gentleman. They
have been working together and rooming
at Uichard Gilchrist's , Twenty-third and P
streets. Mr. McMhnus has been short of
wearing apparel , while tie Boston treutle-
man xvas flush , nnd to even up Mr. Swift
loaned his needy South Carolina exquisite
the necessary garments. Mr. Swift teen
sick , and when at his worst his room-mate
went to Swift & Co. , told how sick John
Swift was , got his wages due on representa
tions that he had baen sent after itand with
the borrowed clothes of the sick Mr. Swift
has vanished from sight. Mr. McManus is
about (50 ahead of his South Omaha confid
ing friends. Mr McManus has a Mrs. Mc-
Manns , with whom be corresponds , in Phila
delphia , and is also Imown to have another
Mrs. McManus , with two children , in the oil
regions ol Pennsylvania. Mr. McMnnus'
oil region record is even more in
famous than his Nebraska ingratitude
is detestable. Just after his last child , a
bay , was born , he kicked his slek wile down
stairs and out in the street , and the publicity
of this matter finally drove him away from
that home. His wife and child still remain
there , while his oldest daughter is at school
in Chancstown.
Icetli Out and Lip Cut Open.
An Omaha rough came down to the dance

taste , much ability and trusty nerve , picired
uo a cup and throwing it at him , caved
in a front section of the beast's mouth. A
number of upper teeth were knocked out by
the David-like throw , and a hole cut in his
upper lip that it took two surgeons and a
half dorcn rowels to fasten up.

Grain Ilnte * .
The action of the Fremont , Elkhorn , t
Missouri Valley road in advancing the rate
on cram 8 cents per 109 pounds to Dulnth ,
thereby making the seme rate as to Chicago ,
is a matter of much importance to the cram
dealers in Omaha. But even with an equal
rate at the present time , it is said , the
greater part of the rrain traffic will be di
verted from Chicago and that part dest'ned
for export and eastern seaboard ports from
Nebraska and Kansas routed either by way
of Duluth or St. Louis. The gram mer
chants state that there is a deliberate fraud
being perpetrated by the Chicago clev ator
men that the ubiidrd- roads can not well
meet In rates in order to obtain tbc
grain traffic for that paint. This U
the underprading system which is a matter
of from 3 to 5 cent * per bushel on every
shipment of Nebraska cram Thus it will
be seen , thaU in order for the the Ca.capo
crain sharks to effectually control the west
ern product , they must cither grade the
crain the same as it is graded at Duluth and
St. Louis or persuade the Iowa lines to
make a rate that will offset the difference in
the mamct prices.
Just way a eorrespondinc rate should
be made to Chicago with that of Daluth is a
question but few of the railway officials care
to answer. Equalization of rates is the
railroad man s version of the situation ,
although the distance from the pram belt ,
from which shipments are practically made
to Chieaco , is about one hundrel miles
fartbur than it is to Dulutn and almost
a similar distance In the case of St. Louis.
At present but little cram is being moved ,
and the crain merchants state that the busi
ness will be conducted on a lower scale until
the presidents" arrepment may lie inter
preted. By that time the lakes will have
lieen opened and. in all probability , these
men say that , unless Chicago raises the Ne
braska cram to its proper grade , fmly 93 per
cent of the export shipments will be routed
to the seaboa-t via Duluth and the lakes
They al ; cv state that Cbicaco has been , put on
the defensive and will either have to abandon
its fraudulent work or relinquiDh its title as
a market for western products A local cram
dealer who has looked into the issue from ,
he states , an unbiased standpoint , states that
by the fraudulent manipulations of the Chicago
cage elevator men in under grading Nebraska
corn and by this alone the producer is de
liberately robbed or swindled out of between
400,033 and 500.000 annually. He states
that the export of corn from Nebraska is
over twelve million bushels , and that the
undcrcrading system gives it a market value
over S cents per bushel below the proper
standard.
Oininc Room and Buffet Cnrs.
General Manager Kimboll , of toe Union
Pacific , states that the Pacific Hotel oem
pany's plant will be taken charge of by the
Union Pacific as soon as the inventory is
completed , which will be about March 15
He says the arrangements are for dining cars
on the Golden Gate special , and buffet cars
on the regular uassencer trains. He also
says that the rood will operate the hotels ,
and that a special department will be organ
ized to look after the business at the head
of which will be a superintendent. The
ceneral storage and supply department will
be in Omaha. The superintendent has not
as yet been selected , but it is intimated that
President Markel , of the Pacific Hotel com
pany , has been tendered and may accept tne
position. The opinion among the trainmen
and commercial travelers is to the effect that
the buffet car system will not be n source of
much satisfaction to the traveling public. A
Tvell known commercial traveler said. "Why ,
yon can't pick up a toothpick and dip it into
the sugar bowl that it won't result in a little
green piece of parchment being flushed on
you requesting 50 cents for the privilege. I
will wager my mileage boons that a person
with a good appetite , if he eats just as it
comes along , can't make a satisfactory meal
on a buffet car without havinc to pony up
about S3 for each meal The fact of the
mutter is that the buflet car is the traveling
banking house and clearance port of the
Pullmans. "
RR. . Traffic Matters Discussed.
C. S. Mellen , general traffic manager of
the Union Pacific , returned yesterday
from St. Lenis _ , where he has been in attend

connection with tue presidents' agreement.
The new system was outlined and the meet
ing adjourned to March 7 , at which time the
manager will reconvene and ratify the new

Consolidation and Appointment.
It is stated that Tax Commissioner Smith
will soon consolidate the land department of

The following are the weil timed newt , of
E. M. Parke , president of the Omaha Slate

procres *
There ore now taorc factone * In our midst
than the svernce cttbcn ha < the l ast idea of.
One need * to tnkc n-day u > visit the shops on
oar different railrosa lines , and esjK < oiall.v on
the Belt line , to appmsate what is coinc on ;
but , at the same tune , the great hed of our
raty is more f avtoriejj , to cive permanent em
ployment to our men. i here are .o m&ny
different things that can be manufactured
'
here as easily'as in the cast , and the material
that we need con be cot so much
cbeaj > er in the raw state and there
after manufactured , that it certainly would
b not only a saving to the consunyr but pay
a pool dividend to the manufacturer. One
thing that we certainly have la abundance
in our state , and which n now shipped pasteur
our door is wool Whv don't some one build
a woolen factory and supply our state with
home made woolens' Wisconsin. lows and
Minnesota ore now manufacturing their own
domestics and supply the northwest in a
measure.
"In my opinion one of the greatest npods
especially for the jobbing trade , is better
railroad facilities tJ Dakota , that creat and
crowing slate. The farmers are coming to
the front and large amounts of merchandise
necessarily must be used by them now while
the future is almost beyond comprehension.
As the state or territory is larger than all
the New England states combined , and ca
pable of furnishing more than marble , gran
ite , maple syrup and spruoe cum. lor they
have but little waste land , and can raise
enonch wheat to supply the country. Now
St. Paul and Minneapolis are supplying
and are all the time getting a hold on them
that can not be easily broken because
they hae better railroad facilities , and not
because.they can sell better goods or quote
a lower price than our enterprising and wide
awake Jobber here. They are able to supply
nil retailers with everything sold ut retail
in Nebraska .
"Another thine , I have an opportunity of
seeing in regard to the coming bjom of real
estate tbis season. I am president of the
Omaha Slute and lloaflnc company , and a
representative of the above concern visits
each architect in the city once every wt ek or
oftenerand by that means I know that there
are more plans in their hands than ever be
fore , and the residences proposed ure on a
larger scale , of better and more costly st-Ve )
than ever before A inrce number are to
be buit ! in the outer additions. From this
source I believe there will be one million or
overspent in baildiucthis season in excess
of ever before in one year. Now. from the
reasons stated , and many more. I believe
now is the time to put your money in Omaha
real estate if you want to make money , or
ever want to ba a holder of reality in this
city , as it is bound to increase in value be
fore 1S9D. Now is the golden opportunity.
Don't lose it. "

Telegram to THE Bcc. ] This morning at

Dead wood reduction works , and in less than
an hour the magnificent and costly estab-

promptly , but as the lower water mains
were at least naif a mile from the works no
aid could be obtained from that direction.
The first regular clean-up was to have been
xcade to-day , and the six sulphide tanks
were well filled. What pDrtion of the con
tents will be saved cannot now be said. The

made , they say , in no spirit of discourtesy.

mte on the subject. They say as there is
nothing compulsory in the matter the ladies
will violate none of the established rules of
etiquette in absenting themselves from tbe
cene of festivity When questioned on the
subject the ladles do not hesitate to express
.heir reason for the course determined upon.
They state that in view of the great crush
which will inevitably result from the desire
of the multitude to obtain the first glimpse
of the new uresident and his cabinet ,
heir absence will not be noticed ,
or if it is it will not be
made the subject of any unfavorable com
ment from fair-minded people. This is a
semi-official statement given out on behalf of
the cabinet ladies. It is sharply condemned
by people who have Ipng had to do with mat
ters of official etiquette jn Washington The
stand they have taken is looked upon as dis
courteous to the new1 administration , and as
bowing a spirit of resentment that is not

A Mute in Trouble.
Three printers , who attended the press
men's ball , ended their night's hilarity in the
central station. One of them had a badly
peeled nose but was very reticient as to tbe
cause of it. Another , named Elmer Kedfii-ld ,
who is deaf and dumb , was arraigned on the
charge of carrying concealed weapons. His
honor is not versed in the sign language , BO
he wrote the following words on a slip of
paper and handed it to Redfield :
"Yon are charged with carrying concealed
weapons. Is that so ? "
The mute nodded assent and the Judge
again wrote
" "I will fine you flO and cost. "
This evidently did not please the "dummy"
as he shook his head vehemently and com
menced to go through a succession of ges
tures that alarmed Whalen , who seemed to
think the judge was about to be assaulted ,
and therefore led Redhela away until he
pad his fine.
