T1IK TITO
IVIany ol the most Intelligent citizens
' Nebraska are entirely at sea about
10 proposed prohibition nnd license
tncndmcnts. Sorno of the ndvocalcs of
rolilhltion have ourpofoly misrcpre-
on ted thoofTcct of the tvo amendments ,
hej'havo sought to create the opinion
uita vole against prohibition is nvoto
or compulsory license. In other -words ,
lioyassert that voting down the pro-
Ibitory amendraeat would do away
1 tli local option and make tliogrnntlng
t licenses compulsory in every comma-
ity , whether the pcoplo wanted It or
ot. This version Ifl radically at vari-
ncowltlilho Intent nnd purpose of the
\vo propositions now before the pcoplo ,
AVIion the constitutionality of the bill
tnbodylng thodo amendments was affined -
fined by the supreme court during
lie session of tlio late legislature ,
udgo Maxwell on faohalf of the court ,
enderedan opinion clearly dellnlnirtho
elatlve effects of the two amendments.
This opinion \ras published in full In the
louse journals for 18S9 , with the record
f tlio two houses on the amendments.
The following o.xtraut from the do-
Islonof the supreme court shows how
ur highest judicial tribunal construes
he two amendments :
An examination of the proposition ! in
[ Ucsllonvlll show tliatono provision Is not
IcpcnJant upon another. They are Intlc-
endcnt propositions for tlio control of the
( Itiortrufllcto un submitted to the electors
f the state , for their approval or rejection ,
loth propositions rclnta to the same subject ,
Iz : The control of tiiotrafllc in. lutoxicatiit
liinto , butdlftor merely ai to the remedy
iroivncu. In effect , the propositions are in
he nltcruntlvo nJ Intended to give voters
u opportunity to express their preference ,
to the niodo of con trolling the trafllcln in-
oxtcjtlnc drinU . rJo bo effective , but OHO
t the propositions can bo adopted and bo-
omopirt of thacoustitution. The proposed
amendments , therefore , are not dependent
upon each other , and therefore nro not in
oiiHIct with the constitution.Ve therefore
answer the first Inquiry in the nOlrmatlvc.
They arc hidcpuiiclent proposals , both in-
ended to i > lace rcstrielious upon the
l-alllc in intoxicating liquors as a bwcr-
JJC. * * JJOTV. beit to control this
vil lias occupied the attention ofwlso nmt
houRhtrul persons for many years , and the
nqitiry \vhatsrsteinwillproiluco \ the best
iractlc.il results I On the ono hand , it isplnlii
luib In the present stuto of public sun tlmotit
he inojt efficient restriction can be obtained
iy placing llceiiso at so high a sum that only
eputible nnd i-osponslblo persons can enijuffQ
n the business. , mil the > * tinder such liablli-
les nnd restrictions as iirovcnt saU'J to

tiuuntitles toproduco intoxicationand by male
n pc-nonsengaged in tlio business , und the
urellcs on their boiicls , litiblo for nuy dams -
s sustained by any ono fiom the sale of in-
oxieating liquors. Oa the other hanU , tlio
opponents otlioense claim that thoonlycffcc
Ivu mono of controlling the tmlUuls to pro
ilblt It altogether. Tno lofjlslature , rccogniz-
tha divided state of public sentiment , has
n otfcct said to tbo electors cf the state ,
'Choosii ' ye which system yo will have , " an d
leiicohavosubirilttod both questions. Klec-
oi-.s incastiiiB their ballots for or npalnst a
iroposltioiiaro supposed toie \ , mid as a rule
are ffoverncdby principle ; hence , if one votes
a favor of prohibition It will be rare indeed
hat ho will also vote in favor -license ; so
f ho votes for license he will not , vote lor pro
ilbitlon. The proposed , amcidnicnU : proviflo
'or ' different nnd contradictory modes of con-
ti-olllag tlio liquor traDlc , but ono of which
can bo effected Ifaloiitoil. The propositions
jciiif'Independent , hoivovor , any elector may
vote for oiioancl against thoother , or for or
ajainstboth. Jf both shoal. ! receive a ma-
orlty of nil tlio votes cast , however , the
ainoudnients boiii'irreconcilable ) with would
fail. Such a contingency is so remote that it
scarcely need be considered.
Injho face of this plain and clear defi
nition by the supreme court no lawyer
ol any reputation will dare contend that
i vote against the amendment prohibit
ing1 the manufacture mid sale ofliqtior as
a beverage would make lluonso compul
sory or nullify any parb of our present
lilghllconso and local option laws. No
reputable lawyer will contend tllat a
vote against prohibition is a vote for
license. Any man who votes against
prohibition simply -votes against the re
peal of local option and high license.
Theromay boa difference of opinion as
regards tlie effect of tlio second amend
ment , which requires the legislature to
license and regulate the trallioln liquor.
Some lawyers assort that the adoption
of tills amendment would compel the
licensingof the saloon In every
community , " \Vo \ doubt very much
whether this construction could bo
placed upon the llconso amendment.
The lang-itaffo Is very explicit. "Tho
legislature shall license and regulate
the sale of liquor. " Regulation must go
with license , and any ronsonaljlo regula
tion will be sustained by the courts.
It would bo reasonable regulation , for
instance , to require every nppllcsuit for
license in vlllago andsmnll cities to pro-
euro a petition signed by _ a majority of
the residents of his town'which in effect
would bo the same as local option. If
majority refused to eljjn thora would bo
no license granted and there would bo
no saloon. Other regulations regardtn
the amount of license fee to bo levied
would hsLvo the same effect if each com
munity is given the right to fix the
amount of the llconso , lot usmalcotho
matter plain to every voter.
First , There are two amendments pendIng
Ing , each of them Independent of the
other , and each to ho voted on sopar
ntoly , .One of these amendments pro
hlhits the manufacture and sale of in
to.xlcating liquors as a. bo vertigo , the
other requires the legislature to license
and regulate tliotralllo in liquor.
Second , These who desire tonrohlbl
theniaiuifacturonndsale of liquor , shouli
vote for the prohibitory amendment ant
against the license amendment ; Imt i
they ( all to vote on the "license amend
monttho elteetls thosameas If thoyluu
votetl against it , because lttal < os a clem
majority ol all the votes cast at the dec
lion to carry n constitutional amendment
mont ,
Third , Those who nro opposed to pro
hlbitlon find , doslro our present loca'
option and high license laws to remain
In force should vote against "both ofth
amendments.
Fourth , Those wlio doslro to ongraf
the license principle con pled -with regu
lation upon the constitution , and forovo
prevent statutory prohibition as it nov
exists in Iowa , should vote against the
prohibition amendment ami for the 11
cense amendment.
With tlieso directions before him w
do not see how any Intelligent rotor can
possibly unko a mistake.
JilSLBADISO STATISTICS ,
A statement Is going the rounds of the
> ress purporting to give the number ,
, olal cost and average cost of buildings
erected In seventeen of the leading cltios
of the country last year. Bo far ns
Omahnls concerned the figures are mis-
dlnjT. The total number of buildings
erected Is placed nt twenty-four hun
dred nnd ninety-eight ; total cost , four
million , six hundred and sixty-three
, seven hundred and thirty-five.
dollars ; average cost , eighteen hundred
uid three dollars.
These figures correspond with tlio
botlngs of the annual report ol tlio
superintendent of buildings , but the
compiler ignored the stntomani of the
superintendent that the estimates are
jolow the actual cost bynt least twenty-
Ivo per cent. The truth is that the per
colitis nearer fifty than twenty-five , Tlio
astnnnual review of 'IllE I3KE contains
carefully prepared tables showing the
lolual cost and character of building im
provements In this city. Those tables
vcre compiled by experienced men , who
lid not rely on the Incomplete records of
.ho . building- department , but visited and
consulted the owners or contractors of
every building erected or underway , Tlio
'csults ' ofthcso labors , covering uporlod
of throe months , show that the nggro-
atocostof the t\vcnty-four hundred and
ninety -eight buildings croctod was
seven millions , sixty-four thousand , five
lumlred and fifty-six dollars , or anavei-
igocostof twenty-eight hundred and
wcnty-el'ht { dollnrs. 'To this may prop
erly "bo added the cost of ono
luiulred and six buildings crccto'l
in South Omaha , four hundri'd
and twelve thousand ono hundred and
six dollars ; fifty-eight buildings in
Dundee Place , on the -western boundary
of the city , three hundred and eighty-
three thousand dollars , andsavan hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars ex
pended on "buildings under way sit the
close of the year , making1 the total in
vestment In Imlldinifs eight million , six
iiindredandnliio thousand , six hundred
vnd sixty-two dollars.
Those figures represent tlio not mil
nonoy Invested In building improve-
cnttf in Omaha in 18S9. They sliow an
excess of nearly four million dollars over
.ho . alleged comparative statement , and
irovo that instead of eighteen hundred
tnd three dollars , the actual average
cost of the buildings was a fraction over
hirty-two hundred ami thirty-four dol-
avs.
avs.So
So much for Omaha's record. Our
ocal lavs are responsible for the clrcu-
ation of false and misleading building
statistics. Under the odious building
'eo system in vogue here , the city vil1-
, ually puts a premium on under valua
tion and bogus estimates. The amount
of the fee is guagoil by the estimate of
cost furnished by the applicant for a
> ormit ; ns n , consequence estimates are
ilaced at tlio lowest possible figure to
escape a portion of the graduated tax.
[ t would bo far more profitable to tlio
city to abolish the foe system entirely
.hun . give official sanction to u false
record of Omaha's building operations.
.1 SLIGHT COSOESSIOXf 10 AUT.
The tariff conferees decided to retain
paintings and statuary on the dutiable
list at fifteen per cent ad valorem , one-
lialf the present duty. The house ,
under tlio influence of an almost univer
sal demand conspicuously urged by
American artists , plncod works of art
on the froa list , but the sonata decided
Lo retain the present duty. The agree
ment of the conferees is oons2n.uontly n
slight concession to art for which the
liouso raombors of the conference committee -
mittoo doubtless deserve the cro dit.
It is probable tint this provi slon of
the tariff bill will not undergo any
further change in the present congress ,
and that free art is a matter of tno more
or loss remote future , though Its attain
ment hsisbpen brought nearer by the
action of the house than it would
L > o if that body liad not placed
works of art on the free list. Of eourso
thcro are two sides to this question. Ono
relates to the educational advantages
likely to result from encouraging the
Importation of foreign works of art , The
other view regards such works as lux
m-ios to bo enjoyed chiefly by the
wealthy , and therefore proper objects of
revenue. Those who demand that art
shall bo free contend that it is an oasou/
tial factor of national onllglitmont , n
source of popular education and elevation -
tion , and therefore , ought to ho relieved
of every hindrance and burden , so that
the pooplowould bo enabled to obtain
the largest possible enjoyment of it. It
will hardly bo questioned that an effect
of a high' tariff on works of art is to
keep them away from the general pub
lie , except as they got into public gal
leries , nnd these are undoubtedly
not sowell supplied , both ns
to quality and quantity , as they would
bo if there was no duty on
painting nnd statuary , There are
several well appointed art galleries in
the country notwithstanding the heavy
existing duty , as the Corcoran gallery ul
"Washington , In which the most ini
portant pictures are of foreign origin ,
the great Walters gallery of Baltimore ,
possibly the richest in the country in
, the examples of modern foreign paintIngs -
Ings and other art works , the Now
York , the Boston nnd the Phiiadelphin
art museums , ' and the Philadelphia
academy of the fine arts , all possessing
many fine works by foreign artists whlcl
are open to tlio public vie r. Othei
cities have public nnd private collections
of moro or less merit. But still the fact
is , allowing art to bo essential to the
education and refinement of the people ,
that is not so generally distributed as is °
desirable , and communities whtchmight
establish collections for the entertainment
tainmont and cultivation of the
public are debarred from do
ing so by the tariff. In this
view the duty on works of art Is in oIToci
a tax on the Education of the people.
It is to be "borne In mind that no Amor
icnn artist , or at any rate none of ropu
tntlon , asks for a dutjr on works o 'art '
and certainly the government docs no
require the revenue from this source
Thu only defense of taxing them is thai
they arc luxuries intended only for the
enjoyment of the wealthy , who should
bo made to pay for their enjoyment
This la a very Inadequate defense , despite
spite the fret that it appears to have
been satisfactory to the conferees on the
tariff bill. We JVo yet behind nil ether
enlightened if ftii3 in this particular ,
"but the prog ti made gives promise
that vro shnll if } ol bo so alwiys.
a Dis.wrmxTisa IIKSULT.
The result of the conference on the
tnrlir hill wllljbo n very great disap
pointment to thfcvost. \ . The opinion of
this section regarding the house meas
ure was very plainly expressed In con
demnation of its general provisions , nnd
taking counsel of this fooling the senate
attempted to bring the hill moro into ac
cord with -western views. In this it waste
to some extent successful , nnd the bill
adopted by the senate , though not alto-
collier satisfactory to the west , would
have Icon accepted with llttlo com
plaint , But the conference committee
has thrown aside nearly all the most im
portant amendments mntlo by the senate
to the house bill nnd practically adopted
that measure , the few modifications
made giving it no better claim to west
ern acceptance than it hud in its original
form.
The Interests of the west can expect
no benefits from this tariff mbnsuro
agreed on by the conference committee.
It is certain to advance the price of
almost everything the farmers of the
west must buy. if it becomes a law , nnd
it will not Increase the price of a single
article they have to sell. "Western grain
growers asked that binding twine bo
placed on the free list and the so n.ito
conceded that much , but its conferees
receded and binding twine was returned
to the dutiable list by the conference
committee. This is in distinct disregard
of the Interests of the tons of thousands
of farmers of the west nnd northwest for
the benefit of about two score of twlno
manufacturers , who if they do not con
stitute n trust , as that form of combina
tion is legally defined , are unquodtion-
ably united to regulate the production
and price of binding twine , beginning
with tlio raw material. The representa
tives of the west and northwest
in congress have an imperative duty to
perform in resisting this manifest con
cession to a combination which has al
ready plundered the grain growers of
the country to the extent of millions of
dollars. The conference committee
agreed to the reciprocity and retaliation
amendments passed by the senate , but
how much of value there will bo In
these expedients for enlarging the
country's trade is wholly problematical.
The report is very likely to encounter
vigorous opposition in the senate from
northwestern republicans , and its defeater
or modification in material respects is
probable. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
IX THK M. E. -
The question ot admitting womdn to
the general con fe'ronco of the Methodist
Episcopal cluirchlis to bo voted on by' the
Inlty during the months of October and
Uovombor. Elections by ballot will beheld
hold in every meeting house , and mem
bers may. vote who are twenty-one years
old and over.
For several years the proposition to
allow women representation in the gen
eral conference , which is the legislative
body of tlio church , has been agitated.
Two years ago it- was before the confer
ence and tlio decision was against it , but
if the vote to bo taken during the next
two months shall show that the laity are
in favor of it undoubtedly it will prevail.
The question is regarded as of very great
importance to the church , and while
thcro is a very strong opposition to ad
mitting women to the conference , as at
tested by the action of that body ,
the proposition has also a vig
orous support. These who op
pose the innovation make their
principal ground of opposition the in
junction of St. Paul against allowing
women to speak in the church , while
another objection is that the admission
of women to the conference might bo
used to bring the influence of the church
to boar in favor of woman suffrage. The
advocates of the proposition contend
that women have always boon in the
habit of spoakinpr in Molhodlst meet
ings , that some of the most effective ox-
hortorshavohoon women , nnd that the
counsel and Influence of women is being
constantly and widely exerted in the
nltnlrs of the church. Certainly Motho-
dlst practice strongly supports the prop
osition. The apostolic injunction that
the women bo required to hoop silence
in the churches is not now observed , if
it over was , in the Methodist church ,
ami as to the apprehended danger that
admitting women to the conference
might load to the use of the church to
further the cause of woman suffrage ,
it is not at nil hkoly to be
come serious. It is quite possible
that n few" ' women would take
advantage of this privilege in the church
to urge political suffrage , but it is not
probable they would ever secure sufll-
clent followers to make their movement *
formidable.
As to what tlio result of the laity -voto
on this proposition is likely to bo there
are no Indications upon which to safely
ground a prediction. Thu Molhodlst
women , so far ns appears , are apathetic ,
or at all eventsao not prosecuting a
campaign for tnoir rights with any de
gree o ( vigor. This does not necessarily
show , however , that they nro not inter
ested in the quiaStion , nntl when the tlmo
for voting arrlycsfor before it ends , they
may show anamttunt of activity and cam
paigning skill that will keep the oppo
nents of admitting. women to tlio general
conference vorybusy. | As the next ses
sion of the conference will doubtless ho
hold in Omahaj 'this ' question possesses a
particular into roil for the Methodists of
this section.l ' / ' ' ; | |

of everything foul nnd irregular can bo over
come by glib promises for the future , shows
the assurance and gall of the inati Tbo

Tlio Old Imdy Lied.
Fremont Flail.
The Imported shrieltersvho are lustily de
faming Nebraska cities , should not bo coun-
tennnced or tolerated. Wo people of Frc- _
mont know that our city Is not us vile and
damnable a hole as the long haired shriekcrs
represent. Of course Cougar did not say
list night that Fremont was a very vile city.
She thought that would not bo popuhir. She
arraigned Grand Island , Lincoln , Omaha and
other absent cities , hut when in these cities she
leaves them out and inserts Fremont. Who
ever notices a drunken man in Fremont ) Oc
casionally there occurs a c-ise , but they nro
very seldom. Our city is not a Sodom ,
neither are our citizens escaped. Jail birds ,
Tlio Flail believes that the old lady lied
while calling on the name of the Lord.
They Are for Temperance.
Grand Island Independent ,
It is not the aim of atitl-prohlbltlonsts to
provo that licensed saloons are a blessing ,
but it is their aim to show that they nro less
of a curse , less productive of drunkenness ,
and from every moral .standpoint preferable
to the low , unlicensed doggeries , dives anct
holos-ln-the-wall so numerous in Iowa , Kan
sas and other prohibition states , -which wore
so highly praised by Larrabeo , as by-all odds
preferable to the respectable saloons , as ho
designated the licensed saloons , thus convey
Ing tlio Impression that ho objects to any
thing approaching respectability. It is its
aim to demonstrate that cvory sauo man
should bo the keeper of bis own conscience
and conductor of his own tastes so long ns he
does not interfere with the rights of his
neighbor.
It has been conclusively shown that there
Is by all odds a greater percentage of drunk
enness in the cities of the prohibition states
than in the i cities of the llconso
states , That of itself , unless the pro
hibitionists Insiit that drunkenness and in
temperance nro good things , ought to besuf-
llcicnt to condemn prohibition , which pro
motes drunkenness. It is conclusively shown ,
too. that moro government licenses arc Issued
to sell liquor in the prohibition states of Iowa
and Kansas , in proportion to population , than
in licensed Nebraska , nnd the fact is sufll-
clent to condemn prohibition in the eyes o I
every man who want ? to promote true tcm
poranco the temperate use of all God's
gifts to man , which if properly used contrib
utes to his health , comfort , pleasure and hap-
plness , It alms to show that liberty of
thouxht and conscience are preferable to the
Iron rule of fanaticism , which would malto
man tlio keeper of his neighbor Instead of tbo
responsible custodian of hinuclf In the mat
ters of morals and conscience.
