Huscall to the county commissioners.
tc is ncithor souse nor reason in
heaping1 bunions on the Keepers of pool
nnd billiard tables. A license fee of fif-
tocn tlollnrs for oacb table is a hardship
which the council should not impose.
Tun midge and the weevil are doing
Bad damage to the wheat of Michigan
nnd Illinois. Yet the discouraging re
ports sent out may bo no more nor less
thnn exaggerations to ulToct wheat spec
ulation.
EJIIIOT.DKNED by the successof Massa
chusetts , Pennsylvania and Rhode Is
land , the people of Kansas nro preparing
to throw off the galling yoke of prohibi
tion. The time is considered ripe for
agitating rcsubmission.
TIIK board appointed to arbitrate the
differences between the Union Pacilic
nnd the engineers and firemen , is com
posed of men thoroughly competent to
weigh the claims of both sides and ren
der n jubt nnd satisfactory decision.
TIIK motor company promises to huvo
Its road 5n operation by July 4. That
'
should bo'a big enough attraction with
out any further demonstration on that
day to bring out every man , woman nnd
child in Omaha to see the phenomenon.
ANI > now the county commissioners
nro confronted with a bill of two hun
dred and fifty dollars a month for rent
o the ramshackle poor house. Iluscall
spread his not with characteristic sly
ness , and the commissioners with their
eyes wide open walked into its meshes.
COUNCIL Bum's has let the con tracts
to pave n number of her residence
streets with brick. This wi\l give
Omaha the opportunity of judging the
worth of brick for paving purposes. Itt
\t \ > only on light trafile streets , however ,
that brick can bo safely laid.
TIIK repair of the aprons at all street
crossings has boon ordered , and should
1)0 attended to immediately. The un
sightly wooden aprons , splintered and
broken , tire not only a menace to life
and limb , but uro apt to give strangers
n poor impression of our streets.
WICHITA and other towns of south
western Kansas nro calling loudly for
railroads to the north , which shall re
lieve them from the oxaotions of Kan
sas City. They look to Omaha for help
because Kansas City has boon a fnlso
friend to thonicrippling their industries
and retarding their growth.
A JiANUFAGTUUiNO company has
just been incorporated in this city for
the purpose of making olootrio motors ,
cnra , and other electrical appliances ,
which in time gives promise of develop
ing into an liiij.prtiuit establishment.
Omaha is evidently pushing her way to
the front in the manufacturing lino.
TIIK designers of the union depot np-
paronlly exhausted their skill in sketch
ing the viaduct approaches. In
strength , beauty , breadth anil length ,
elegance of detail and prospective cost ,
the viaducts dltfplny n versatility of im
agination never equalled in these parts.
The depot itself is a more annex to the
old eowshod , It boars no comparison
to the union depot at Kansas City nnd
Denver or oven the Northwestern dopol
at St. Paul.
IN reply to the circulars sent out by
Governor Ltirrnheo , of Iowa , to several
thousand shippers and jobbers of the
state for the purpose of eliciting tholi
views us to the olToot of roeont railroad
legislation , the answers received have
been quite satisfactory. 'Lass than
fourteen per cent of the shippers arc
reported to bo opposed to the gover
nor's policy , the majority being well
satisfied with the nvtos as fixed by the
railroad commission. This would
clearly indicate that the people ol
lown. stlatnin their governor in his do
tormlnod fight for equitable rates and
fair treatment. Since the operation o
the now tariff shoots on probation the
rnilrqad agitation in lotru has quieted
down , nnd the question gives promise
pl a ponnnuont and satisfactory eottlo
meat.

Nearly every acllvo progressive com
munity in the stnto is represented in
the development convention now in ses
sion in this city. It { 3 a gathering of
men who have helped place Nebraska
in a proud position among the states of
the union. The objects and alms of the
convention nro to devise ways nnd
meatis'to protect and Improve the coin-
mcrcinl interests of the sUttc nnd en
courage the settlement of Vtoo country.
The progress of the slnto during the
past ton years has boon marvelous.
From a population of four hundred ana
fifty-two thousand in 1830 it swelled
to seven hundred and- forty thou
sand in 1885 , nnd to-day contains
not less than one million and a
quarter people. The "dosurt" has dis
appeared , if it over existed outside of
the maps , and in its stead arc thousands
of thrifty settlers , comfortable homos
and scores of enterprising towns. Five
thousand miles of raili'ouds traverse
ncnrly every county , against eighteen
hundred miles ton years ago. Factories
have multiplied and every branch of
business shows n marked increase.
Agriculturally tno development of Ko-
brtisUn has been equally rapid , rising
step by step until she now ranks
fifth among the corn producing
states of tiio union. Last year
the improved acreage aggregated
nine and a half million acres , of which
four nnd a quarter million acres ypero
planted to corn. Thirteen nnd a quarter
million acres yet remain unimproved ,
an area larger than Connecticut , Massa
chusetts and Delaware combined , or
Vermont , New Jersey and Rhode
Island , and capable of supporting from
two to three million people.
There's no bettor evidence of the
progress of Nebraska than the record
of Omaha's advance in a decado. With
a scant thirty thousand population
in * 1879 , it has grown to an
active , enterprising city of one hun
dred and twenty-live thousand people.
Its manufacturing and commercial
strength was then a more fragment of
what it is to-day. Stock yards and
( Kicking nouses wore net thought of ,
pavements and sewers and waterworks
were still a dream , and the town drifted
rudderless with the current. To-day
forty miles of paved streets penetrate
every section of the city. IIMIs have
been levelled nnd hollows filled , nnd
Blxty m'.los ' of sanitary and surface
water sewers laid. A magnificent sys-
toln of waterworks supplies every want
in that lino. Sixty-four miles of olcc-
tric motor , hoi'so and cable
street railways connect the su
burbs with the business center.
Omaha has sprung In five years to third
rank as a stock market and packing
center , having four Of the largest pack
ing houses in the country , giving em
ployment to live thousand men. and re
quiring an average of eighteen million
dollars a month in 18SS to handle the
business. Twelve banks , with over live
millions of capital' , attend to the finan
cial wants of the metropolis , and the
wealth of the people is .shown in
national bank deposits , aggregating
eight and a half million dollars.
Ninety factories , with six million
dollars capital , employ six thousand
five hundred hands , requiring four
hundred thousand dollars a month to
[ > ay them. Twenty million dollars were
invested in buildings during the last
tour years. Eighteen million dollars
were paid to farmers for stock last year
nnd three and a half million bushels of
grain handled. The jobbing intorc.stof
the city amounts to over sixty millions
a year , divided between two hundred
nnd seventy-seven linns , and twenty-
eight hundred business firms represent
the retail trade of the city. Fifty pub
lic schools employing two hundred and
sixty Xoadhore , besides a score of private
and denominational schools , look after
the intellectual interests of the rihing
generation , and oisjhty-six churches at
tend to the spiritual needs of all.
This is a composite picture of the
metropolis which bids welcome to the
representatives of the business interests
of the state. It is a compact counter
part of the growth and development of
Nebraska. To protect and increase the
interests of both is worthy of the best
efforts of the convention.
FOIiA KKK HKXOMlNA'l'ED.
The Ohio republican convention ro-
nominated Governor Forakor on the
second ballot. Ho is now serving his
second term , and in n run ing him for a
third term the republicans of Ohio have
disregarded the precedent of both par
ties in that state. Tlfo exigencies.of
the situation , however , seemed to de
mand the stalwart and vigorous leader
ship of Forakor In the coming cam
paign , nnd although there were half a
dozen excellent men presented to the
convention , and the governor had said
that ho did not desire the nomination ,
after a complimentary vote to
other candidates ho carried olT the
honor by a majority which
clearly showed how strong the necessity
for his loadorshiu was felt to bo.
Oovdrnor Forakor represents tl)0 )
young republicanism of Ohio , and
this wa onthuslastiu in his favor. It
gave no hoed to the third term objec
tion , and it Insisted that Forakor had
no right to rolube a demand of the
party after It had twice honored him
with its support and confidence. This
evidently impressed the governor , since
for some time before the convention ho
was silent , and thus tacitly left the
issue in the hands of his friends. These
opposed to him , as they saw the trend
of affairs , sought to draw Congress
man MoKlnloy Into the field , but
ho declined to allow his name to gobo <
fore the convention. Ho is a candidate
for speaker of the next house of repre
sentatives , with projpocts not the least
favorubla among these whoso aspira
tions are in that direction. No repub
lican in Ohio is more popular than
Major MoKlnloy , and had ho consented
to go before the state convention as u
candidate lor governor it is quite possl
hie ho would have received thonomina
tlon , and perhaps made n stronger candidate >
didato than Forakor. Under the clr
cuinstanccs , however , ho took the propoi
course. The failure to induce MuKin
lay to run loft the Hold cloai
for Forukor without the slight
est effort on his part. The gov
toruor has soiuu euemiod , but his courui
n this matter appears to have boon en
tirely fair and honorable , and the full
larty strength ought to rally to his
itlpport. No one can question that ho
las made an able executive , and the
thrice-accorded honors of his party
should win him friends rather than
nako him enemies.
The campaign In Ohio promises to bo
exceedingly vigorous and iatdrostlng.
Tust now the 'donnorivts nro not liar-
nonlous. They arc divided on the t-irlff
jucaUon , but it is probable that they
vlll "got together" by tie | time their
state convention moots in August and
treparo to make a HnrJ light for the
state. Tito indications -'are that ox-
Congressman Canl'pbolU will ho their
rubernatorlalcandidalQ'jTii which event
tovornor Forakor'will have a focmnn
nero worthy of his stool than was the
lemocratic candidate"ofklwo yorrs ago.
The advantages oftho ; , situation nro
vlth the ropublicansrif no sortmis dls-
affections occur , but obviously this is a
danger not to bo lost sight of.
TOO MUCH SIDK-STIOW.
There Is danger that th'o movement
to organize and perfect n week of at
tractive amusement in Oinalja for next
fall will bo overloaded with side-shows.
Division and destruction nro threatened.
Catch-penny affairs ivro .springing up
and individual greed usurp * the public
jood.
It will not require e'x'traordinary ex
ertions to bring largo crowds of people
to Omaha. Tlio city Itself is'a perma
nent attraction to the people of this
nnd surrounding states. The main
essential to suttcoss is unity
of action a workintr together
of all forces for the common weal. It
will not do to scatter the attractions
in the four corners of tho. city. If we
nro to have races nnd other amusements
it the fairgrounds , and n go-called expo
sition at another part , it is important/
that the managers should work in har
mony with the "Merchants' Week" as-
soointion. Unless they got together and
formulate a definite plan of action , the
result will be unsatisfactory if not inju
rious to the city.
Three years ago the fail nnd exposi
tion operated separately. Although
advertised as the QmnlUi fair
and exposition , they wore en
tirely distinct in location and price ?
The result was that visitors were
deceived and expressed their contempt
for the gouge game in plain words. A
rcpetilion.of that plan will keep thous
ands away from the city'this year.
There is no reason why a WOOK of
amusements cannot bo carried to a suc
cessful close in Omaha. Ir. addition tea
a grand central exhibit at the fair
grounds , a variety , o'f public displays
should bo arranged for tlio nycnings.
Tlio success of a feeble imitation of tlio
Mardl Grns , organized on short no
tice three years ago demonstrated
what can bo accomplished by orga'ir/.a-
Lion and definite purpose. Greater re
sults can bo gained this yearby similar
energetic action. It is not necessary
that the older heads should do the
work. By placing the'working details
in young , enthusiastic hands and sup-
Dorlinp them with counsel and means ,
surprising results can bo accomplished.
Parades and illuminations can bo ar
ranged for every evening. The mate
rial and the energy is abundant. All
that is required is harmony , defi
nite plans , and the selection pfforcoful
men to nxocuto the details : By this
means we fool confident that great and
.ostiii benefits will f6w | to the city.
THE HAKO LL WIXO.
The wing of the dcmdcrncy which
acknowledges the leadership of Samuel
J. Randall dwindled to very small pro
portions in the last coigriS3. | There is
some reason to bolicvoth.at . the Penn
sylvania congressman will-have a larger
following in the next 0hgtbss , and
there are already intimations that ho
intends making an olTort- regain the
position of loader of tho'h'ousc , . which ho
long held. Mr. Randall was the firs > t to
suggest that the imperative duty of
the democratic party" is to "got to
gether , " nnd he has since said some
things that have 'very plainly indi
cated the lines on which ho would have
it got together. These will not bo ac
ceptable to the Carlisle-Mills wing , but
tariff legislation in the now congress
will probably bo loft , wholly with the re
publicans , thus avoiding ( lemocratic an
tagonisms on this subject , and Mr.
Randall , it is intimated , will seek to
concentrate the party on another issue
in the management of which his tH-
condoncy might become easy. ,
There are two matters suggested as
principal features of the plan
which Mr. Randall .is believed to
bo contemplating. Oilo of thoBo re
lates to the proposed , change of'the
rules , to which ho has already signified
his hostility. The other rotors to the
supposed purpose of the ropribHcntis to
adopt some measures lot * thoibcttpr reg
ulation of federal olnclidns fn tliqsouth.
The aim of Mr. Randall , It is thought ,
will bo to impress the democrats of the
house with the superior importance Of
these matters over revenue questions ,
audit ho can accomplish this his ambi
tion of leadership will bo attained , for
no man on the democratic biflo of the
house is so well equipped-as ho to
conduct a battle whore parliamen
tary devices must play the most
important part. Once having taken
the scoptro from Carlisle nnd Mills ,
and boon again enthroned us the louder
of the democratic side of tho'House , the
Randall wing of the democracy would
become the potential wing , and its
chief , whom the dominant element has
sought to humiliate and' deny , throe
yoiiM henoo may play it ftfqiiHplcuous
part in deto'rminlng who shall bo the
presidential standard bearer of the
party.
There can bo very little doubt that
Mr. Randall was not the least bit dis
turbed by the outcome of the. last na
tional campaign. It was fought by his
party on lines wliloh ho did not ap
prove , and besides he had no Intercut
in the political success , pl Nr. Clove-
land. It ho should 'again 'come into
possession of his lost p'owor of leader
ship , and more improbable things have
happened in politics , the friends of the
ox-presldont would have a fonhldablc
foe in their own parly to overcome throe
years hence , This oonRitloratlon mn >
be found a troublesome barrier in the
way of Mr. Httmlall accomplishing the
task ho ls-/ol'ovcl ) to have laid out for
himself. 3
The prcjdpt ! has appointed Mr.
William VflJlMT Phelps , of Now Jersey ,
minister t < rw'rmany. Mr. Phelps re
turned fromfjnorlln last Monday , hay
, ng with him a copy of the agreement
regard Ing Sauioa reached by the con-
Terence of jnjuch ho was a member.
It has bcjSrtf foreshadowed that this
ippolntinc'rilstWild bo made , and while
It will therefore cause no surprise , it
will give very general satisfaction.
. "ow men nro so well equipped by oducar
.ion . and long cxporlcnco in public life
or diplomatic duties as Mr. Pholus.
lo has boon eight years in congress ,
mil a considerable part of this time
10 was a member of the house commlt-
, co on foreign affairs. In this capacity
le made himself thoroughly familiar
with the foreign policy of the govern-
nont nnd-ncqulrcd largo knowledge 6f
Diplomatic u hgo. no has also had oxi
icrienco in diplomacy , having been
nlnistcr to Austria in 1SS1-U , while as
one of the commissioners 'to the Berlin
conference ho must have acquired valu
able insight into diplomatic methods.
Air at least a do/.ou yoar.s Mr. Pholjh
las boon prominent in republican politics
'
tics , and during this period one of the
stiumohost friends of Mr. Blnine. Ho
vas dolcgato-at-largo from New Jersey -
soy to the national republican con
ventions of 18SO and 1831 , in Ixith
of which his inllUor.co was exerted for
the nomination o'f'Mr. "Bluinc.
Undoubtedly no one would bo more
iccontablo to Germany than Mr.
'helps , whoso course In the Berlin con-
eronco cun not hhve failed to coinni6nd
dm ns well to the respect of the Gor-
nnn government as to that of our own
government. He will succeed a gen-
.leman , George n. Pondloton , of Ohio.
vhoso ability nnd character won the
esteem of German diplomatic olilclalb ,
i ml who 1mb made a crcdituulo record.
There can be no doubt that ho will
worthily maintain the position which
the United States has attained in th'o
ogard of Germany.
To the stock shippers and people along
line of the Chic.igo , St. Paul-Min-
icapolls & Omaha the finding Of the
lute board of transportation that the
railroad has exacted unreasonable
reight rales will bo received with uni
versal satisfaction. It will bo rainom-
jored that a.'ciWnplaint was lodged with
ho state botird'sonic weeks ago against
that railroadicharuing it with unjuit
discriminatlon'in ' the matter of tr.Xns-
lortation of Ijvo sl-ock and coal between

TnK dangerous washouts under the
lavements nro the natural outcome of
inbtu. The practice heretofore in vogue
ot rushing pavement on the newly
graded strcet- > and right on the heels
of gas , water an I sewer trenched is
bsponsiblo for the sunken condition of/
the pavements and the tunnels which
undermine the streets. There has been
uid is yet too much haste hi public
works. WarnuisH are unheedo'l , and
, ho consequences will soon bo .apparent
in the largo bill 6f costs which the city
must foot , In repairing pavotnents.
Timlin is no reason to cbmplain of the
ictivity of rartnmd building in the
lorth western part of Nebraska during

For a year or inoro It has booh apparent
that the usually tranquil waters of the
Methodist camp In this city were deeply
stirred. Tim trial nml beheading of Mine-
hurt is but a drop In the bucket compared
with the denouncement of Chancellor Crclgh-
ton by A. J. Cropsoy , of Ogden , Utah ,
formerly ono of Lincoln's citizens anil busi
ness men. It scorns that when the strife was
on for the location o'f tlio Wosloynn univer
sity , Cropsoy , who was then engaged In the
real cstnto business hero , cast his not Into
the waters nnd helped those favorable
to Lincoln catch tlio prbo. Hut when Iho
show doxvn cnmo the division of tlio spoils
the cruel war bogan. Tnr. HKK representa
tive lit upon nn open letter , addressed to Dr.
Crolghton , chancellor of the university ,
dated Ocdcn , Utah , and written by J. C.
Dropsoy under date of May 30. At great
length ho airs his grievance and takes oc
casion to iimko a number of highly
sensational allegations , which savor lee
much of attempted blackmail to admit of
their being repeated in the imbho prints.
Contradicting Cropsoy's denouncement
comes the statement of Chancellor Crolgh-
ton , through his ixttorpoy , J. u Doty , whom
ho authorizes to speak for him , Tun URK
representative having sought n porsonul In
terview with the chancellor.
The chancellor expressed a willingness to
undergo the newspaper inquisition , but said
that Mr , D6ty could spo.ik for him advisedly.
Dr. Crcighton , however , pronounced Crop-
soy's allegations a bnizen attempt nt blackmailing -
mailing , mid with u snap of his lingers said ,
"I do not care two cents for thorn. " Doty
tolls the story ns follows :
" J'ho trouble between Colonel Cropsev nnd
Kov Dr. Crcighton , Hcv. Dr. Miller , C. A.
Atkinson , osq. , nnd J. J. I mho IT arose ufter
the location of the Nebraska Wesloyun mil-
vor.sity. Thoroulcsta'tollrmof which Colonel
3ropacy was a member had an opttonjon the
Vull eighty. Messrs. Atkinson nnd ImhoIT
desired to interest some friends in the prop
erty in that locality. Cropsoy had moro op
tions on land in that vicinity than his lirm
could carry. In conversation with him Dr.
Jroiuliton said that Atkinson would tuku the
Vail eighty off bis hands. Cropsoy's llrm
ponvoyed the land to Atlcmsnn ( or $300 , or
? 1,000 per litre advance on iho contract price ,
and in addition gave Cropsoy S150 for his
services. They bought ull of Cropsoy's In
terest in tlio land , and nt no time aid they or
either of them ucreo to lot Cropsoy have
any further interest in the deal ,
neither did they deceive him in uny
way In regard to thu matter. Crop-
soy's llrm had loaded up with moro options
than it could conveniently carry , and it had
to unload. Atkinson & Co. thought It n
good investment and became Us purchasers ,
thus helping Cropsoy out of a dlflloulty nnd
giving him u pro lit on his deal in the
Vuil eighty. ThoiO facts were ull brought
out In the case of the Nebraska Wesleyan
institute vs W. C. Hnwloy * uud an emphatic
denial of ( Jropsoy's ' statements was mudq by
Kov. Dr. Miller. Itov. Dr. Koborts , Uov. Dr.
Crcighton and Messrs. Atkinson nnd 1 in ho IT.
Jropsoy never thought of claiming that ho
: iad uny interest in the land until ho found
.hat a prolit had been made on the purchase.
There was ijovor uny of the eighty sold
jntil the location of the university wus ubio-
lUtoly fixed. Cropsoy has endeavored to
blackmail thaso men ; but , being balked
in this , anil not being financially
responsible for nny damages for
lofumation of character ho has rushed into
irlnt. Ho vents his spleen upon the attor-
loy in tlio case of the University vs Iluwloy
wcatiso ho was able to show that this man
Cropsoy bad paid 570) ) to n party to assist in
debauching a jury In the case of Cropsoy vs
Gage county. The story of Lolghton's live
.lores is a fiVtion of his own vile iirnin. The
statements of tnis nnmitisatcd falsifier in
regard to Uov. Dr. Miller have been denied
under oath , nnd Iho character * of nny of the
{ cntlonicn slandered can not bo affected ia
, bo minds of honest men who know them.
AcoDrdlng to sworn statements Colonel
2ropspy was the only niun who used , Or
tried to use , nny dishonest means to influ
ence actions in regard to the location of the
Nobnwku Wcslynn unlveriitj ut Lincoln. "
