Mayor Slonno of South Omaha la rep
resented us most decidedly opposed to
annexation. This ! H what might have
been expected , but the question Is , why
should Mayor Sloano refuse his sanction
to the ordinance submitting the ques
tion of annexation to the voters of
South Omaha ? Why should ho
deny to a respectable minority oven
of the tax payers the privilege of
voting upon tlio proposition ? The only
expense which that city will Incur Is
the cost of the election. That certainly
Is very trilling. If Mayor Sloano be
lieves that a majority of Iho voters are
opposed to annexation , those.who with
him are Interested In Itw defeat run no
risk In submitting the question. If , on
the other hand , a majority of Iho tax
payers alid cltl/ens are In favor of mu
nicipal union , what right lias ho as
mayor to stand in the way , and seek to
override their will and wish by his veto ?
Tin : OUTCOMU inoir.i. .
The mountain has labored and brought
forth a mouse. When the political tor
nado that swept over Iowa last Novem
ber had subsided the people of thai state
were assured that their revolt against
enforced sobrio.ty would bear immediate
fruit through the legishtturc. Uopub-
lican lenders in and out of high places
acknowledged thai prohibition had
failed to prohibit in all the eilles , and
failed materially to produce more torn-
porate habits In rural localities. '
Among the rank and llle of republicans
there was a iminifost disposition to heed
tlio uprising against free whisky and Iho
Illicit tralllc in liquors , and substitute
local option and high license. Had the
democrats in Iho legislature really de
sired to give tlio people the relief which
they demanded and had a right to
oxpecl , there is no doubt that a modi-
lied local option law could and would
have been passed at Iho present session.
Hut the democratic loaders in Iowa , as
elsewhere , can always bo relied upon for
blundering when they are * in power.
Instead of allowing the anti-prohibition
republicans to formulate a repeal of the
present non-euforciblo prohibition law ,
they insisted upon making capital for
llioir parly and forced the prohibition
repeal upon republicans as a doinocralio
measure. Instead of allowing the liberal
republicans to introduce the bill , they
had the bill drawn by democrats and in
troduced by democrats , and christened it
the democratic anti-prohibition bill.
They literally drove every republican in
the legislature back into line and
forced the Indefinite postpone
ment of Iho bill. In other words ,
Iho democrats' came into power
by pledging themselves to repeal tlio
prohibition laws , but when it eaino to a
test they deliberately kicked down the
plank upon which they wore elected ,
rather than allow tlio republicans the
credit of framing tlio bill.
This is the second time the democrats
of Iowa have proved themselves rec
reant to the principles which they
pretended to advocate. Six
years ago they deliberately
and purposely helped to carry
prohibition in Iowa out of pure cussedness -
ness and selfishness. They were willing
to depopulate the state and wreck its
commercial and industrial prosperity in
order to make political capital. They
confidently expected that hard times ,
which always follow prohibition , would
make the stale democratic. But their
selfish , stupid and wicked machinations
miscarried. Hard times and com
mercial stagnation did como and
drove out of the stale thousands
of people who formerly had voted the
democratic ticket. That left the pro
hibitionists in the majority and placed
them in position to dominate the re
publican conventions and legislatures.
Tlio pig-headed and short-sighted
policy which the Iowa democrats have
pur.iued in the legislature , elected by an
off-year uprising , only goes to
show how utterly unlit they are
to carry on the government.
Instead of giving the people relief from
tlio depressing effects of prohibition , they
propose to go before them two years
hence with the same old grievance. But
they forgol that 1802 is a presidential
year , in which parly lines will bo closely
drawn. They also forgot thai the re
publicans will have had lime enough lo
profit by the lesson of-lSS ! ) and revise
their platform so as to moot the de
mands of the people.
WHEN the southern states wore under
the domination of republican carpet bag
gers there was a general outcry in tlio
south against their rapacity and dishon
esty. The northern carpel bagger has
long since glvun way to Iho nalivo demo
cratic chivalry , but dishonesty is more
rampiint than over at the southern slate
capitals. Within less than three
years eight southern treasurers
have decamped _ wlth stale funds.
Arkansas dropped eighty thousand dollars
lars ; Tennessee , four hundred thousand ;
Alabama , two hundred and forty-three
thou.-um ] ; Kentucky , two hundred and
forty-seven thousand ; Louisiana , eight
hundred and twenty-seven * thousand ;
Missouri , thirty-two thousand ; Missis
sippi , three hundred and fifteen thou
sand , and Maryland , two hundred thou-
wind , a grand tolal of two million two
hundred and forty-live thousand dollars.
Is ll any wonder that taxes are burden
some in the bouth ?
TUB attempt to vitalize the Tntorstuto
Commerce Hallway association under a
now name is practically a failure. The
meeting of the managers served to bring
into prominence the insurmountable ob
stacles to u working union of western
roads. It was evident at the outset that
tho-conflictlng Interests of tlio vast sys
tems of the west voulil nol be harmonized
without grunUng valuable concessions to
competitors of the association. Natur
ally the advocates of union were not dis
posed to pay tlio price" and tUo move
ment fell to pieces. The outcome is
likely ti ) provoke an early resumption of
hostilities all along the line.
BY the death of P. C. Himobaugh
Omaha has lost one of her most respected
and enterprising citizens. The testimonial
menial which leading citizens have given
to his work and worth are In full accord
with the universal bontiim'nts of all who
learned to know Mr. Hlnu'baugh as a
man and citizen. Ills uiosl conspicuous
memorial Is the Young Men's Christian
association building , of which ho was the
founder. I-'rom Its conception to Its
completion Mr. Himobaugh devoted hits
best energies lo this great structure ,
which remains as a monument of his
public spirll and philanthropy.
Tin : claims for material and labor
filed against the contractors of the
county hospital forcibly illustrate the
wisdom of the state law protecting the
rlglits of workmen. While the law does
not apply In this Instance , the annoy
ance and lltlgalion Involved shows Iho
necessity of vigorously enforcing the
jusl and reasonable provisions of tlio
law.
TUB palntful emptiness of their treas
uries gives nn irreslsllblo force to the
arguments of our struggling conlempo-
rarios in favor of increased coin. Tlio
people having persistently refused to im
prove tlwlr circulation , lends a profound
pathos to their appeal for government
relief.

Prof. G. W. Platt , a well known nrtlsl of

April 8 , nt 3 p. in. This lecture Is not only
Interesting but amusing and will bo illus
trated by drawings , some of which will bo
inado before the audience , and will also be
Illustrated with the lantern.
The association is anxious to advance art
interest in Omnhu and extend an Invitation
to all. The charming entertainments given
from time to time HIM always free and this
will bo no exception.
Some of Professor Plntt's pictures tire now
on exhibition at u down town tirlstorenml are
well worth seeing. Every ono interested in
art should study these pictures as they uro
good oxumples of the American school of
painting.
There luivo been some changes in the Paxton -
ton block painters' colony. Mr. Albert Koth-
ery has removed his studio from the sixth to
the fifth floor to more desirable quarters. In
his present apartments he has better light
mid more room.
Miss Mcllomi Bnttcrlleld has moved her
sludio ono floor lower , being now quartered

There can be nothing so beneficial in the
education of the young artist as these trips to
the country in the summer. The bree/cs
blow from the brain many quips and quirks
of erroneous fancy absorbed in studios during
the long winter's work , und the sunshine and
sense of freedom dispel u great deal of dis
couragement that is likely to be absorbed
from unappreciated efforts.
A delightful outing can be accomplished by
the banding together of a party of congenial
artists who are enthusiastic enough to work
hard when work is in order , and play when
work is over. When it is all done a great
deal bus been learned and every ono is
healthier and happier.
When means will net afford the continuous
delight of camping and tramping , desultory
trips to tlio country can be made by u party
starting early in the morning and sketching
its way alomr roads or river bank picking up
bits hero and there wherever the fancy is
charmed with any particular" feature of the
landscape , and returning ut night with the
fruits of the day's work.
But the ideal summer sketching Jaunt can
only bo indulged in when time and money arc
plenty enough to admit of the selecting of the
most picturesque spots available as a Held ot
operation. Then u camp can be established
and raids made with palletto and brush , pen
cil and pun , into the surrounding country and
plenty of plunder for winter's consumption
be secured.
Happily , however , there are fields and
rivers , quaint old farm houses and other
picturesque spots nearer homo for the im
pecunious ; but unfortunately home spots do.
not seem so picturesque as those more remote
and harder to reach.
The young artists of Chicago
find many spot.s near homo
by lake and Held in which to work , and it has
become u well established custom for artists
to work out of doors in summer. The writer
know of a llttlo band of hard working young
men , who worked for their livelihood in en
gravers mid lithographers shops during the
day mid went to an art school o' nights , who
used to go up the , to some people , unpictur-
csque Chicago river on Sundays and bring
back In the evening n rich harvest of studies.
They were a Jolly Bohemian crowd thoroughly
in earnest with their art , and some of them
tire making enviable names for themselves in
the art world. But they knew it was not
necessary to go Is Lake George or the Adlr-
ondacks to find material to exercise their
talent on.
A word to the wise , etc. , and no earnest
worker can afford to miss out of door study ,
especially under such skies as cover Nebraska.

Something of a seirJomil , if not a roman
tic marriage , took place in this city last even
ing. Less than u'year ago a young hardware
clerk of Mead commenced paying attention to
n pretty Swedish girl who was
serving us a domestic in the family
of a prominent business man who re
sides on H street. Like many before her
thu girl loved well but not wisely. Septem
ber last her lover bade her gooii-by and she
saw no moreof him until yesterday. The night
befoio last she was taken suddenly 111 and a
physician was called in mm shortly after
ward , to the surprise and consternation of the
family , who did not even suspect her con
dition , she gave birth to u baby boy. When
questioned she gave the name and itddrcsx of
the father of hev baby and armed with this
information the gentleman for whom the girl
worked took the police into his confi
dence and related the circumstances of
the case. An officer was de
tailed to go to Mend and he left at
0 o'clock and returned ut.l with his man. H
can bo said to his credit that he made the
amendehonorable' , , stating that he had no idea
that his sweetheart was in such condition.
Justice Joe Brown performed the ceremony
thut united them for better or for worse. The
groom will remain at the bedside of his bride
until she recovers , , when he will take her to
Mead , where they will re.side for u time. The
former is twenty-eight and the latter twenty-
two years of age.

BALOONS AND ANNEXATION .
SOITII OMAII.V , April 5. To the Editor of
I'm : HUB : It Is urgued by some that In case
ho question of annexation Is submitted to the
icoplo of South Oinaliu the forces for und
igalnst would bo divided on' the sumo line us
n the recent city election , vU , the saloons ,
hronle oftlco seekers and bums on one sldo
md the robpectablo rltl/.cns , packers and
dockyards company < m the other. We admit
hut on the surface th > ubovo seems to bo cor-
ect , but It Is not , If U were there would bo
lonsoof holding an election. Hundreds of
nen who supimrted the democratic ticket in
ho city election and would do it again will
rote for annexation with buth hands. Per-
iunul opposition to JuhiisUm for mayor cut
the defeat of
t iiiiiMui'iMblo llguiv in
lie cltu 'n ' tu.kut , uud lx"jide : > that wus pol
( ties , while annexation Is business. The su *
loons haVe only a shadow to light for la oiw
ixislng annexation , the sulwtuneo having
ulMHil slipped from their grasp. The license
under the Sloeumb liuv will be rnUcd ( oJI.OOO
ns soon as the census Is taken , which will tie
only a few weeks later , no matter which city
holds the reins. Again , the Sundiiv closing
of saloons will lie enforced In South Omaha
within the next sixty days. The Onmlm
breweries will have nothing to gain bv ' oppos
ing unne..xatlim. It 1 * thought bv RO'IIIO tliuti
even * Mayor Sloano and some of the other
newly elected ofilccrs will sccivtly If not
openly vote for annexation. The' fuel I.s
they are In a tight place. Mtmtr
SIoujio Is u weak man , knows uotliiim nbout
the affairs of the city , has no executive abil
ity , mid certainly cannot expect nnv help
from the council. Kd Johnston has refused
the chuirmiin.shlp of the committee on finance ,
and there. Is not another man who cun Illl It.
Put Itowly will bo president of the council
und iictlnir mayor in the absence of that of
ficial.lth such n make-upas Indicated
above , n bankaupt city to start with , and Un
people clamoring for public Improvements. U
Is not surprising thut some people predict
thut even thoolllcliils will look niton nntie.xu-
Him as the key to the door of the basilic In
which they find themselves. Again the post
office cannot be disturbed. It must remain a
separate ollice , not a station , but will con
tinue to bo known as South Omaha , with
an Independent iwt.smasU'r , as the law ex
pressly provides that no net Ion taken in the
extension of lines shall Interfere with Pnlted
States postofllees already established. As
for taxes , they are mueli lighter In Omalm ,
und all our Intelligent voter bus to do to
convince himself of the fact Is logo to the
records , liesides the assessment must be
raised In South Omaha to meet the sum
already expended in excess of legal requln1-
incuts , and more still to secure a fund for
further improvements. "With all this to pij
we get not ding for our money , " sa vs a packer
"I nm willing to pav even n higher rate nf
taxes if I can get anything in return for it ,
us 1 would if annexed to Omaiiii , but I am
llreil of paying high tuxes and getting abso
lutely nothing for my money. " .1. H. H ,
IN TlIK UOTUNDA.
Mr. George W. Vromiiii , chairman of tha
general committee of the Union Paeilic sjs-
torn for tins Hrotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers , was found at the Casey.
Mr. Vronmti stands high In the estimation
of the members of the brotherhood. At the
national convention held at Denver lust fall
ho wus Chief Arthur's only competitor in the
race for thu highest olHco in the brotherhood ,
that being thu Ilrst time , us a matter of fact ,
that Mr. Arthur ever had any competitor.

what they chose to term Mr. Arthur's . | , -
tory methods and excessive conseiviitlsm ,
milled under Mr. Woman's standaid , but
they were too fuiv and Mr. Yroimin
was defeated , nil the eastern delegates
refusing to vote for him on tlio
ground that , in their opinion , Mr. Woman
was too radical and lee much inclined towards
combutivcnoss.
"Kut , " said Mr. Vroinan to a representa
tive of Tin : Ilii : : yesterday , "they were mis.
taken as lo my idea of policy. 1 believe in
preventing a contest whenever possible. If
we should como to an issuu with the Union
Pacific today und should win thu light within

Contests between men and their employers
are always productive of evil to bnth parties

Moral suasion i.s a good thing , but it doesn't
prevail with n railroad company or any othur
corporation unless thu club is visible stiiiiiling
in thu corner. "
In the matter of state politics , Mr. Vromiiii
thought that it is yet too early in the cam
paign to predict with any degree of certainly
whuttho result of this full's election will
bo. Tlio lrothcrliood.of ) which ho i.s such u
prominent member , ho thought would nut b.i
u factor during thu campaign. The organiza
tion , hu said , was non-political.
"Hut , in thu event of the nomination , " hu
was asked , "of two men , ono known to favor
laboring men and the other a declared frii-nd
of the railroads , would not the brotherhood
then bo inclined to take action towards electing -
ing their friend ? "
"la such u case , " said Mi1. Vroman , "I
think thu men , us individual. ! , would
do all they could to sucuro the.
election of their friend , but the brotherhood ,
as un organization , would not take action. "
"Tho most important factor in thu cam
paign of this year , " continued Mr. Woman ,
"will bo the Farmers' alliance. That orgnnl
/.ation will cut a very wldo .swath , you will
find. Numerically it has been very strom , '
and its members have been stirred to activit j
by what they consider unjust demands mudii
upon them during the past year by the rail
roads and politicians. "
'
"Who will the iilliiincu favor for governor. '
was asked.
"I think it would be divided. Ooverin '
Tlmyer has been trying recently to st rengthi'n
himself with thu fiirmors , but while this may
win somn friends for him among thu gran 'ers
I think that his attitude towards them In the
past will still linger in Ihc.ir minds. "
Mr. L. D. Fowler , n banker of Sutlon , win
registered at the Paxton. After a i-atvfnl
and considerate view of the Hltmillon Mr.
Fowler bus determined to phi his fiiith tu
Omaha and within a short time will engiw

Mr. Fowler cares less about palities than ho
