ANDKHSON'S gUIIlllnff oxpodltion against the county clorlc has resulted BO far In a prout doul of noise but little damage. TUB breaking up of the business of ticket scalping in Chicago Is U.o lirst evidence that the railroads ara trying to keep faith with each other. NOT to bo outdone by Dr. Mercer , the consolidated company has likewise be- pun the work of disflpuring our streets with unsightly electric motor polos. Sioux CITY strained her eyes in vain looking for the through express from Omaha to that town by way of Norfolk. All things , however , cotno to him who waits. IT IS well to remind the anxious crowd 'Of offlco-sookors in the state that the Nebraska delegation in congress hold another conference at Washington , and more are to follow. Now that the board of education has pruned and trimmed the bond proposi tion for now schools to its liking , the people will bo given the opportunity to say what they think of it. 1'HH mysterious disappearance of Dr. P. H. Cronin , of Chicago , the promi nent Irish nationalist , is likely to prove the sensation of the hour , if it bo not cleared up within a few days. TJIK strained relation said to exist between Senators Quay and Sherman lias entirely infused itself into the con gressmen of the rival states. The spectacle is far from edifying. K sacrifice sale at auction of Mr. Cleveland's horses and equipages at Washington would Indicate that tlio unfeeling bargain hunter has little re gard for the divinity which doth hedge about the name of an ox-president. 1 TKOUIIMS is anticipated by the Cana dian government in the far northwest , < among the half-breeds , who are being . stirred up to another Insurrection by pno of Riol'e trusty lieutenants , The " Boods of the Riol rebellion have evi dently not been stamped out , and It will take prompt and vigorous action of the Dominion authorities to prevent a second end outbreak. Tine army ollicor who was delegated by the war department to observe the ' movements of the militia of the so.vorul States in the Now York parade appears to have been much uloused with the re sult of his visit. Ho was most favorably impressed with the generally excellent discipline of these citizen soldiers , with their military bearing , and with the spirit which Boomed to animate them. Ono Important thing desired to bo learned by the war department was the time that would bo required to concen trate n large force in Now York. It was demonstrated that in case of need evouty thousand militiamen could bo assembled in that city within flftoun . Jiours. IT looks after all M if the Cherokee Indians are going to make the big real odtato deal of the season as a result ol the opening of Oklahoma. The settle ment of this country In tlio heart ol the Indian territory will compel the Immediate opening of the Cherokea Btrip. The Indians who own these six Millions of acres , which must bo crossed in order to reach Oklahoma , will un doubtedly drive a sharp bargain wltli the commission about to negotiate witli them. The clamor , moreover , of the disappointed / appointed boomers for the Cherokee lands will whet the keenness of the Indians to make all they ran out of the deal. As the commission Is au' thorUod to pay for the strip if nocessaryt the full government Jn-ico of a dollar and u quarter poruuro It Is hard to boo how the commission can ntTord to hapglo long over thr transaction. The Chorukoes are ro Delving to-day from cattle inon an an dual rental ( or the use of thuso lands o iftpma two hundred thousand dollars Uhoy ? are consequently not hard prcssoi to sell unless they can realize tlio ful limit allowed by law. The cominlbslor M certainly in a peculiar predicament fend it Is hardly to bo expected that the Jndians will lot go of their title to th < Chorolcoo strip ( or let's ' than seven and balf inlllloug. It It had been necossnry to the truth of history , or to the fame ot Farragut , that General Butler should call in question , " nt the banquet of the Duller club ( n Boston , the courage of Admiral Porter In the naval operations nt Now Orleans during the rebellion , his hav ing done BO would bo pardonable. T3ut It is not apparent that there was any such necessity. History has recorded nothing , so far as wo are aware , unfav orable to the conduct of Porter In con nection with the capture of Noxv Or leans , but on the contrary there are of ficial records commending him for his part In that memorable victory. Wo do not remember over to have road from any other source nn intimation that Porter did not conduct himself with judgrua-nt and courage. Ho has always boon regarded as a naval ofllcor of superior ability , and helms advanced to his distinguished rank free from any .scandal or any suggestion ot unworthl- 11089. It is hardly to be supposed this would have boon the case If there had boon any conspicuous lack of ability or bravery in Ms conduct at New Orleans * As to Farragut , not only Is his fame as the greatest naval hero of the re bellion secure , but it is so com plete that nothing can bo added to it by seeking to Impair the reputation of an other. The opportunity that demanded Farragui found him equal to Its every requirement , and the naval history of this country contains no name more il lustrious than his. It could gain noth ing by detracting from the services of Porter. The decision ot Admiral Porter not to make this charge of General Butler a subject of controversy , Is to bo com mended. Ho can afford to disregard It , leaving his course and conduct to tha Impartial and unprejudiced verdict ot history. The public would find little Interest In a newspaper battle between these veterans , who have reached n time of life when they should have the wisdom to put aside the ill-foollnir nurtured for n quarter of 15 , century. Both have made honorable records in the sorvlco of tholr country , and that cither should attempt to impair the fame of the other is a matter to bo de plored. Admiral Porter will gain in the respect of all right-thinking men by allowing the matter to rest with the observations ho has already made upon it. _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ THE MUST IS THE CHEAPEST. Sioux Falls granite paving blocks laid in sand are ollored at two dollars and twenty-seven cents per yard ; cedar blocks in sand and plank , will cost one dollar and thirty-four and one-half cents per yard. In other words for a difference of ninety-two and one-half cents per yard you can pave with Sioux Falls granite in place of cedar block. If the cedar block bo laid on concrete it will cost ono dollar and sixty-ono cents per yard , or only sixty-six cents less per yard than Sioux Falls granite. Cedar block will last from tlvo to seven years , and the decay during the three last years makes it worse than cobble stone. Sioux Falls granite will never wear out. A granite pavement may become uneven by the digging of trenches and excava tions , or it may after twenty or thirty years of wear become too smooth , but It can bo made as good as new by merely turning and resetting the blocks at a trifling cost. Would any sane man sign for wooden paving and vote a perpetual tax upon his own property and upon the city also ? < . The only objection that can bo urged against granite pavement is that it is noisy , but noise Is not objectionable on heavy-trafllc thoroughfares. On level streets that have little traffic the noise is comparatively trilling. On the other hand , if smooth and noiseless pavement is doomed essential , sheet or block as- phaltum is the proper material. Block asphaltum , which has not boon tried in this city , is an admirable material for light-trafllc streets. The blocks can bo reset just the same as stone , and when worn down after a number of years they can bo turned at least three times. After that period they can bo dressed down again and reset. Sheet asphal tum with a guaranty of ten or twenty years maintenance would , of course , bo preferable to all other materials on streets that are lined with costly residences. But that luxury Involves a heavier outlay than even the Belgian block pavement , In any event , the cedar block and all other wooden paving ought to bo dis carded in Omaha from now on. Wo have had u costly experience , like other cities-ami thaf should teach us that tlio best pavement is the cheapest In the end. IT CONTINUES TO The surplus 1-ovenuo of the govern ment for April amounted to eleven and a half million dollars. Allowing for the requirements of the sinking fund , there was a clear excess of seven and a half million dollars of revenue last month. This Is keeping up a high average which promises a larger sur plus at the olose of the year than lias boon estimated. It is duo to the de cline in the amount of recent bond purchases , and the question it suggests is whether it may not become expedient ( or the secretary of the treasury to change his policy regarding the pur chase of bonds with a view to attracting larger offerings. At present the accumulating surplus Is not being seriously felt , or perhaps not being felt at all , in the money mar kets. The buslnods of the country is moving quietly , and there is no com plaint unywhoro of a want of money. This situation seems likely to continue throughout the summer. There is no indication of iv marked industrial re vival near at hand , and it is most prob able that the year will pass without wit nessing any decided recovery of activity in the general business of the country. Meanwhile , the appropriations for the next Oscal year will become available nftor July 1 , when disbursements from the treasury wll | dispose of a part or nil of the surplus increase up to that date. In this view ot the dltuation , that is , a present ample Riipply of money in tha country , nnd n largo outflow from the treasury to begin two months hence , theodini a 1st ration is likely to conclmlo thnt there Is no good reason (6r offer ing bettor Inducements to bondholders , whom , it is quite probable , tire with holding bonds In the hope or expecta tion of n. change of policy in tholr In tercut. There has been some conjecture us to whether the secretary of the treasury wll withdraw the government money deposited with the national banks , amounting to about forty mil lion dollars. The policy of the preced ing administration In allowing the banks to use n largo amount ot the money ot the government , reaching , atone ono time , sixty-eight million dollars , was condemned by the republicans In the last campaign , but notwith standing this , the present adminis tration is compelled to deal with this legacy of its predecessor ser with reference to practical consid erations , nnd these all weigh nghinst the proposition to withdraw the deposits nt this time. Undoubtedly , when it can safely bo done , this money wlll.bo returned gradually to the treasury , butte to begin its withdrawal now could hardly fail to precipitate financial stress. Sec retary Windom is too careful nnd saga cious a man to take such n rlsjc. With the exception ot the accumulating sur plus the financial situation of the coun try nnpoara to bo healthy , with the promise of continuing so. oun It is to bo regretted that the opening of the Paris exposition found the American representation the farthest behind. There nro the very best rea sons why our exhibitors should have made extraordinary efforts to have tholr dhplay as nearly complete ns pos sible on the opening day. As the greatest ot the republics , heartily sym pathizing with the motive of the expo sition , our representatives ought to have sought to emphasize that sympathy oy making the fullest practicable con tribution to the attractions of the exposition - position at the outset. Then there was the bonstod American enterprise nnd energy to bo justified. Nothing wns more certain than that the great majority ol the visitors would bo most curious to see the display of the great republic , nnd to bo found unprepared to gratify this cu riosity was necessarily to suffer a loss "of prestige. Nearly every other country , even the smaller states of South Amer ica that arc represented , had its exhibit In complete condition , while in the area allotted to the United States there was little to bo soon except nn array of boxes that wore yet unpacked It is some gratification to learn that' such display as the American exhibitors did make greatly interested the visitors , our achieve ments In the manufacture ol glassware having , it nppoars , made a marked sensation among the foreign glass- makers , and unquestionably when the exhibit shall bo made complete It will receive its full share of attention and commendation. But still there is no sufllciont excuse for Its being so far be hind , and it docs not reflect favorably upon the judgment and enterprise of the men having the management of the exhibit , that all other countries were permitted to gain such an advantage of us. Possibly wo shall bo able to more than make up for it nnd to regain whatever has been lost in prestige through the dilatorlncss of our repre sentatives , but the circumstance Is not flattering to American pride. The oxpositlon will bo in most re spects the grandest over hold , and not withstanding the want of sympathy with it on the part of European gov ernments , nearly all the countries of Europe are represented , the only im portant nation absent being Germany. The opening of the exposition was an Imposing and brilliant oyont , distin guished by abundant evidences of pa triotic enthusiasm , and signalized by a demonstration of popular interest un paralleled In the previous experience of Paris. Tlio success of this great en terprise in commemoration of the first French republic seems assured. milESPCWSIHLE CONTRACTORS. The council should go very slow in letting the paving and sewerage con tracts. The experience of the county commissioners with the county hospital contracts should bo a warning to the city authorities in letting contracts in discriminately to the lowest bidder. Contractors for public works should bo responsible individually. The more filing of a bond signed by responsible parties is not a quaranty of good work and first class materials. Parties who are notoriously Insolvent or never have boon known to do a flrst-closs job can readily got bondsmen. Who has overheard hoard of such a nonil being enforced by prosecution. It IB always the same old story the poor bondsmen would bo ruined if you compel them to make good the short comings ot the contractor. It was so with the city hall basement. Tlio BronnnnH were lot out because there was too much sympathy for Whulon. What is true of ono class of public works is true of nil. Paving and sewer con tracts should only bo made with respon sible parties who are known to have ample moans to complete their worlc ac cording to pacifications , even If they loam money. FALSE piiunw rroNs , When wo called attention to the un- htipincfcslika ana illegal letting of the paving contracts last month wo were taken to tusk by local contoniDorarios as playing into the hands of a contrac tors' combine , and predictions ware made that the result of a now letting would bo to the disadvantage of tax payers. Wo wore told that the prices nt wiiich the award had been made worn lower than they ever nould bo ngain , nnd any interference with the contracts then awarded would bo sure to result in highor- priccd | , aving. Those predictions have not been verified. A com partitive ox- hiblt of , the vnriqus paving proposals under the previous nwnrd nnd later bids shows thnt tno city has scoured much lower prices under the now and uni form specifications. The delay of three or four weeks caused by the rondvortls- ing , has havud tl.c taxpayers of Onmiia many tuousaudu of Oollnrs , uml-ivhnt is fully n essontl * ! itia active competition , wo have enforced compliance with charter - tor rogulntlonlfnMl ordinances. Tun next cou us s to embrace n re port upon thonurnbcr , nnd amount of fnrm mortgage , It Is ft very proper re quirement , whlchvif carefully carried out , will not bcjithoMonst valuable part of the census. ' istworthy Informa tion regarding , tKo amount of capital * invested in thls'way , nnd the condition of the farming Jn.tciJ'cst ot the country ns shown by thd number nnd extent ot mortgages , Is VUr much needed , both ns a moans of corroding the loose and reckless statements of these who maybe bo Interested In misrepresenting the situation , nnd ot assoi-tlnir to n correct judgment of what is necessary to bo done by legislation , particularly In re spect of tlio fiscal policy of the country , for promoting the wolfnro of the farm ing Interest by relieving It of unneces sary nnd unjust burdens. Wo have * no doubt that such * a report would plaoo Nebraska In the front rank ot the states whore Investments In farm mortgages have proved moat secure nnd profitable. TIIK bogus circulation factory which throws Its papers Indiscriminately into people's back nnd front yards , is trying to divert attention from the main point nt Issue. But the people who. pay out money for advertising cannot bo gulled. They discriminate In favor of THE BEE , not as a matter of sympathy , but because they want to reach the great mass of newspaper readers In this community. They refuse to throw away their money on a newspaper that is scattered about promiscuously or delivered to people who have never subscribed for it and never intend to pay for it. Every woll- eslablishod newspaper will refuse to de liver its paper unless it is wanted nnd paid for. When any publisher ran sacks the town by a horde of canvassers and gives away papers right and loft , the circulation Is , fictitious and practi cally worthless as nn advertising medium. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - THE people of Dakota have , to all ap pearances , postponed discussion con cerning the location of the capitals of North find South Dakota.

The constitutional conventions III\VG nothing to do with the location of the capitals , as that is matter for the respective legislatures , when elected , to pass upon.
