Hon. Joseph Ijymuii N'oiu-H the End.
Hon. Joseph Lyiniiu , excongressniatrfrom
this district , Is failing rapidly and can Hvo
but n very short time. Ho has been losing
strength for some time nnd paralysis has ren
dered him utterly helpless. For months ho
has been npparently In n decline , but the sud
den change for the worse wns nbout three
weeks ngo , when ho went to Omaha ono day
nnd did not know where ho WM or how ho
got there. His friends hero missed him nnd
n search was instituted which resulted in findIng -
Ing him nt the Turkish baths , whore ho sat
with his hat nnd coat on and unable to tell
who ho was or anything nbout himself.
Since that time ho has declined
very fast and his mental faculties
have become seriously Impaired.
Ho bus recognized very few of his friends ,
nnd has talked very disconnectedly. Not
withstanding the fitet that his physician , Dr.
Macrae , warned him several weeks ago that
nbsoluto rest was his only safety , ho remained
nt his legal work until compelled to give it
up. Yesterday morning he sank into a coma
tose state , and was unconscious during the
entire day. Ho was unable to take any nour
ishment whatever , nnd nt evening was re
ported to 1)0 ) dying. His ailment has been
paralysis , the first stroke having been sus
tained in Washington two years ngo , and an
other shortly after ho returned homo. His
physician stated yesterday that the trouble
came from a tumor which is growing' at the
base of the brnln , nnd for which ho had been
taking medicine for 11 ft ecu years.
When ho went to Waslfiugton ho roased
the treatment , and n paralytic stroke was the
result. Tlio physician stated that Mr. Lyninn
flight dlo within a few hour * , or ho might
live for Komotimo , but that his mind was
shattered , and there Is no hope for the re
covery of his mental fiuulties.

"This paving Injunction that has tied up
our public Improvement work for n while
would never have been granted but for u big
mistake on the part of City Attorney Stew-
nrt , " said nn iildormun yesterday. "When
Judge James applied for the Injunction Judge
Uccmer refused to grant It until the city
could have nn opportunity of being heard.
The city attorney wns notified , mid Instead
of making a showing to prevent the Issuance
of the Injunction ho waived the city'a rights
in the vase , und of course there wns then
nothing for the court to do but to grant
the temporary 'injunction which was1 accordingly -
ingly dono. Mr. Stewart hud no authority to
do anything of the kind , nnd it will put us
to a lot of trouble und annoyiinco to have the
Injunction dissolved. He says that the city
has not lost anything by It , but I claim that
It has , for It Is a great deal easier to prevent
the fronting ° * uu injunction in the
first place than It is to have
It dissolved nftcr it has been Issued.
It Is lust the snino us that ns It Is nbout get
ting slek It U easier to jircrvent It than It la
Is to get well , even If your Illness Is not nec
essarily fntiil. It it one of the cases whew
nn ounce of prevention Is better than a pound
of cure. There Is no use , however , In cryliif ,
over spilt milk nnd we must pot to work now
and have thdTliJunctlon dissolved. We have
secured the services of Flnlcy Durke , osq. , t (
assist Mr. Stewart in the case nnd wo will
get a bcnrlng In the court as soon as possible.
As fnr ns Second nvenuo Is concerned , wo had
no Intention of having that paved this year
anyway , ns It will bo Impossible to do nil the
work ordered this season , nnd that nvenuo
ought to lx > sewered before the paving Is laid.
There Is not the slightest reason why those
other strectH should not bo paved this year ,
nnd we propose to pave them. That is ono
of the linest residence quarters In the city
nnd the property there Is very valuable. Pav
ing would increase its value nnd the property
owners nro well nblo to pay for it. The ma
jority of the property owners on nil of those
streets want tlio streets paved , nnd it Is
only n very few who nro objecting to it. Even
tlioso want paved streets , but they want
other folks to pay for It , nnd nro trying to
have the season's paving done on streets
where the property owners nro less nblo to
pay for it than they are themselves. Tills
talk nbout the city's bonded Indebtedness ex
ceeding the constitutional limit is nil non
sense , nnd there isn't ' the slightest founda
tion for It. Our present bonded indebted
ness Is $1-17,000 , which Is less than half what
It might be , nnd still bo within the limit. Wo
have nn assessed valuation of $ dr > ( X,000 ) , , nnd
the 5 per cent limit would allow us u bonded
Indebtedness of Wi.OOO. These folks who
nro trying to put n stop to public Improve
ments try to count In the special assessment
bonds which hold the property for the cost of
the Improvements. There isn't n particle of
sense in trying to support such n iwsition , as
the supreme court holds that this do'cs not
properly come under the law fixing the limit
nt 5 per' cent of the nssesscd valuation.
This howl nbout exceeding the limit is only
beard here nt home. Wo don't hear anything
of it on tlio outside , but on the contrary our
bonds nro In great demand nnd sell nt a pre
mium of 1 , ' < J per L'cnt. That shows what our
credit is , nnd it ought to make these croakers
here at homo ashamed of themselves. Our
plan of pushing our public improvements has
helped the city wonderfully in the past two
or thrco years , and It has not only stimulated
nil kinds of business nnd braced up real estate
prices , but It has increased our credit , and
brought in largo quantities of outside capital.
The only question to decide is whether tlic
scity shall continue in its progress or shall
bo Riven to the croakers nnd mossbacks und
n stop put to all further growth and improve
ment. "

They Talked Too Much.
Emll and Herman , sons of Justice Schurz ,
visited the police station last evening to se
cure the release of n car [ > enter , II. B. Mitch
ell , who Is building .some new houses for
'Squire Sehurz , and who had been arrested
during the day for drunkenness. Their
demand to have n bond prepared was not
complied with , and as they loft the station
they wcro expressing their opinion of things
in general and the.'polico force in particular
In anything but-complimentary terms , when
Chief Gary arrostcdono % of them and Captain
Clougli levied on tlio other and they wore
locked up. They sent a messenger to Judge
McGce , who immediately telephoned the
marshal to release them.
As soon us they were outside the building
they ngain began to air their views this
time regarding Chlof Gary and his financial
affairs. They told some things that tlio chief
did not like to hear , and ho promptly shoved
them behind the bars again. Marshal Tom-
pleton immediately released them again , nnd
they wcro induced to leave , although
nut until they promised to bo on
bund this morning und tell some more of the
things they know. The boys nro scarcely
out of their teens , nnd both law students.
They will conduct tlioir own defenses nnd
there will undoubtedly bo fun when the
cases are called. They worn undoubtedly
ton "mouthy , " but the question to bo de
cided Is whether or not the chief of police is
Justltled In locking up everybody who begins
un oral review of his past record.

but there nro not so many of them ns there
wcro a year ngo. Several of their number
have become converts to the other side , and
the feeling on the outside is very strong In
favor of having the shops open Sunday morn

"Will Have u New Church.
The members of the First Methodist church
have determined upon the erection of n now
church building upon the site of the present
structure. The work of arranging the pre
liminaries bos been going on for some time ,
nnd sufficient progress bus now been made to
Insure the cnrly erection of the now building.
The structure contemplated will cost between
$ .10,000 nnd $35,000 , nnd will bo the hniulsomo-
cst and most expensive church In the city.
The young people of the church hnve [ taken
the lead in clearing away the llnaneial obsta
cles. For this purpose tlio have or
ganized the Methodist mutual aid
society , which counts among its
workers nearly nil the members of the
church. The society bus been divided into
four sections , und during the summer each
section will give nn entertainment. Thellrst
Is the temperance section , which will give nn
entertainment ut the church parlors this
evening. The second section will prepare n
series of musical entertainments , the third
will have full charge of nil the sociables , and
tlio fourth will contain nil the literary talent
of the church. The entertainments that each
section will give will bo so distinct and dif
ferent from the others that their diversity
will make them enjoyable. Each section con
tains the best talent in the church
adapted to its character , and the scries
of pleasant evenings assured for the
summer months will bo a welcome innova
tion in the social world. Each section will
have n month in which to prepare nnd re
hearse Its entertainment , and this will assure
the public something novel and well pre
pared for the money expected to bo contrib
uted towards building the new church.

Needed Changes In City
The city lighting is being done at present
according to the Chicago lighting schedule ,
nnd the result is that the electric lights are
turned on fully mi hour before dark and nro
shut off that much too early in the morning.
Under the old contract n difference of half an
liour was made for the difference in longitude
but under the new one this difference is not
made , which renders the s\reet lighting less
satisfactory than it might be. The present
condition of affairs is undoubtedly duo to
oversight and n little attention on the part of
the council would remedy it. A half hour's
additional lighting can bo secured without
any additional cost. Another point in this
connection that demands the attention of the
council is the contract with the moon , which
is rather imperfect in its workings. The
whole trouble is caused by the failure of that
luminary to put in an appearance on all
occasions called for by the bills.
The contract with the electric light company
[ irovides that no lights shall bo turned on on
ihcse occasions nnd all is well when the moon
makes all connections on schedule time , lint
on cloudy nights there is nn abundant of kick
ing nnd darkness. Last year there was an
irrnngement by which the captain of the
: iight police wns instructed to order the
lights turned on whenever ho deems it neces
sary and the weather is such as to warrant
it. A rcnewnl of such nn arrangement would
[ jive general satisfaction and insure well-
lighted streets ut all times.

A PIcaKaiit Sunday.
Yesterday was a phenominnlly beautiful
day nnd the people generally took advantage
of It to get outdoors. Travel on the motor
lines was heavier than It has been for many
Sundays past. Apparently us many people
visited Omaha as came tills way to enjoy the
beauties mid freedom of our parks. The
Fall-mount park line was taxed to about its
full capacity , and from curly morning until
Into in tlio day the great pan : was lllled with
visitors.
The accommodations in Bnyliss park
proved to bo entirely inadequate for the
[ rowds that poured in and out all day ,
There wore but few moments during the
day when u vacant seat .could bo
seen. If the park had double the number of
seats they would bo insurtlcicnt to supply the
demand on a pleasant Sabbath day. The now
fountain was un object of great Interest to
the strangers ,
The crowd nt Manawa was the greatest of
Lho season , and u very pleasant day was en
joyed by nil. There wcro manv special at
tractions , und ono of them Unit drew n lurgo
attendance was the grand pri/o shooting mutch
of the Sehuctzonverein. It was the opening
of tlio season for the society , nnd the Ger
mans were out in full force , many being from
Omaha , Lincoln , Pluttsmouth and other
cities.

evening. At the morning hour ho preached
ono of his churactcrlstlu practical sermons.

The student of American history will miss
nuch that U most romantic ns well ns most
trugicul iu the curly annuls who overlooks the
events , some of them of n very stirring char
acter , which occurred In the truns-Allcghnny
country during the last half of the eighteenth

nents In that region und to render secure
.hoso which had been established wcro a con-
stnnt struggle against hostile snvuges , and
the pioneers of what was than the un
explored west went fortli not only
to encounter the severest hardships und prlv-
itlons , but to face death In almost every
'orm , und the liven of thousands of them
weii ) sucritlrcd to lay the foundations of what
s now an imperial domain , abounding In
wealth und prosperity. The reader of the
lurratiVeot these events cannot but be 1111111

laborious research , In the Interest of the trntl
of history. There had been many coiillletlnt
stutemeuts published- concerning the GIrtys
nnd ho felt it to bo Important that such ol
these as were erroneous should bo corrected

Mr. Buttcrfleld had ncccss to records ami
documents of undoubted authority which

take to give even the merest summary of the
eventful history of the GIrtys ami the stirr

over four hundred pages. It must
therefore sufllco to say that the
work Is written In the true his
torical spirit and In n style which preserves
Interest in the narrative * to the end. It will
bo found invaluable to nil thorough students

Cleveland Pleased That Iho Farmer.
Aru nt Lust Awaking- .
PiTTsnnio , Pa. , May 11. A special fron
Steubcnvlllo , O. , says n few weeks ngo th <
corresponding secretary of n local ledge o
the Farmers' alliance wrote to cx-Prcslden
Cleveland enclosing n copy of the deelnrntloi
of the purposes of nil alliances nnd asking
Cleveland's views thereon , nlso on the pro
tcctlvo tnrlff.
Cleveland hns replied at some length ,
In the course of his letter ho say *
the Indifference the farmers of tlic
country have shown to the ndjustmenl
of the tariff system , nnd the case with which
they have been led away from the sobar con
sideration of their needs ihid rights have e.v
cited his surprise. Struggle as they may ,
snys he , the farmers must continue to oo pur
chnscrs of numberless things enhanced incest
cost by the tnrlff. Surely they have n right
to Insist that this cost shall not bo Increased
for the purpose of collecting unnecessary rev
enue or to give undue advantage to domestic
manufacturers.
The plea that manufacturing industries need
protection which Impoverishes the farmer and
the consumer Is , In view of our national ml-
vnntngcs nnd skill nnd the Ingenuity of our
people , a hollow pretext.
The plausible presentation of the blessings
of a homo market should not deceive the Im
poverished agriculturists : There Is no mnr-
Itct for them which will not take Its Instruc
tions from the seaboard nnd the seaboard
transmits tbo mandate of foreign markets.
Mr. Cleveland expresses his pleasure nt see
ing the farmers arousing themselves to tariff
reform.
