DoWUs Little early nlscrs : only pill to cure slek headacbo and regulate the bowel An Indignant Ulaulnlmcr. PUEMOST , Nob. , March 30. To the Editor of TIIK UKK. In looking over your editorial of yesterday ( Sunday ) -'Have Tboy Been Coercedt" I gather from the statements there made that thu World-Herald has boon again casting aspersions on the railroad men and would bavo the public- believe that railroad men hnvo no sympathy with the corporations uhcm tlioy servo nnd that they are like tbo 'World-Herald void of soul. But 1 hasten , Mr.Editor , ns an employe of a railroad company , to give my tnsimiltlcant rnito in rebuttal of such wholesale Infamv. You v 111 say perhaps that Fremont is of no ui'ccunt , and has no Inrno railroad plant there , but for this reason I think it necessary a word fhoulil bo paid , ns in largo railroad centers the evidence will bo abundant , and then the World-Herald will soy : O , but It is in the small pluces where coercion Is used.1 Ifvo change for a moment house roll No. 13 Into a printing bill compelling papers llko tbo Worlii-Ilorald to bo sold nfJif cents each retail , and only waiting the governor's sleim- turo to inako It law , and \Yorld-IIcrald nhould solicit Us stnft to slga u petition ask ing for a veto , and any man dared to insinu ate that the World-Herald had used coercion that paper would ransack Webster for lan guage , and the words "idiot , " "insane , " "in- iniinan , " "monstrous , " would bo too n.ulckly applied. when in r employer came to mo nnd spoke nbout the petition , I told him that It needed no nreumonU The case did not udrnlt of any. That In my humble opinion the bill was a hardship to all our western railroads , and cheerfully gave ioy nnmo , and I know of no Instauco where a'second word had to bo Vied. There ought to bo a howl of Indignation * lso from every workshop , every depot , every operating room , ovcry yard , and every see'- tlon house ngatnst such aa outrageous mcasuro. If thin meiuure should become a law It will result in Iho withholding of thousands of lollan that would bo spent in this state by railroads In developing their plants. Why I 1'ho answer Is sluiplo. Who spends money when them is no return ! The stockholders of our railroads nro not fools. They do not put their money Into iv aowerr no ruoro than a farmer would sow more grain than ho can consume , knowlne there nro no railroads to plvo his produce transportation. Ob , yes , the World-Herald would cham pion the cause of the alliance people nt the expense of the employes of our great railroad industries , because its sympathies nro with the farmers. Hal hal Don't you bellevo It ; It U n Dolltlcal "Jack-pof " all subterfuge ; & political "currycomb" that gathers nothing but dust. When thcso thing * are weighed , ns weighed they will bo. nnd the World-Herald reaches out Its hand to pluck the golden f rnlt It vainly Imagines is ripening , the apple will bo found rotten nt the core , and the prize so fondly courted will slip from its grasp and vanish llko the morning dew.

The work of cleaning the paved streets \\M commenced with a rush yesterday.

The following- streets will ho cleaned Im mediately : Farnam , from Ninth to Twen tieth : Ilnrncy , from Ninth to Sixteenth ; Douglas , from the bridge to Sixteenth street ; Howard , from Ninth to Seventeenth ; Jack son , from Tenth to Thirteenth ; Dodge , from Tenth to Sixteenth : Twenty-fourth from Cumlng to Wirt ; Ninth , from tbo Union Pacific trnclw to Douglas ; Tenth , from the viaduct to Douglas ; Eleventh , from Mason to Douglas ; Twelfth , from Howard to Doug las ; Thirteenth , from Leaven worth to Doug Ins ; Fourteenth and Fifteen from Howard to Douglas ; Sixteenth , from the viaduct to Cumlng street. As'soon as this Is completed , the cleaners will bo put onto the streets ia the suburbs. little At9 o'clock yesterday morning three heavily laden wagons were hopelessly stuck lr the mud on lower Davenport street , between the , railroad trucks. Navigation on Leaven worth street Is slightly embarrassed. Motor cars continue to fly the track on North Twenty-fourth street , owing to the mud which has no bottom. There is a big hole In Thirty-sixth street , just north of Farnam , which Is a constant menucato life nnd limb , The street commis sioner knows it , too. It Is enid that the dirt acraped from the Sixteenth street pavement will bo used to till the St. Mary's avenue "raviuo. " Sunday a funeral procession on Twenty- sixth street and Capitol avenue was lost sight of for live or ton minutes , having to go through a slough which has remained there slued the grading of tbo street last October. Saturday ntcht a man tell Into a hole lu the street in Ambler place nnd was utterly un- nblo to extricate himself.

It Is claimed that tha ground at Thirtieth and Spaulding is en tirely unfit for the erection of u hosu house , as considerable piling would have to bo driven before tbo foundation could bo laid.

Ouo of the county employes who is on the Inside in speaking of thu Corrigan resolution , said yesterday : "This Is only carrying out a deid that was made last fall , and before inanv days you will sco other heads fall Into the basket. "Tho political ax was lint swung In Joft Mcgcath's ofllce , and before It stops you will observe that all of tbo old deputies and clerks have to walk. "Mr. Webb was a good man. but bo was not in with the present administration not for a day. When Tlmme was elected ho promised the clerkship to Jerome Peutzel , Jim Connolly and Jim Montgomery , with u secret under standing that Barney Gordon , Dick O'ICeeflo's ' brothcr-i- Ishould "have the Job.

"They have provided fnr Jim Connolly by working him into O'Malloy's ' ' ofilce , but the other men nro out iu the cold , though it would bo no surprise to sea one of them iu \ \ ebb's place before the end of the month. "There is a deal of this kind on at the present time , and O'Keoflo's vote last Satur day , when he approved having a clerk , don't mean anything. " A Monument to U. II. Hotlmokor. Dr. T. F.

Manitou is the most attractive of the many resorts of Colorado. Lying at the foot of 1'lko's Peak and at tbo entrance of tbo Garden of the Gods , it Invites tbo tourist mid slgnt seer to the most remarkable formations and the grandest nuu most picturesque scenery of that mggcd rango.

There Is no American tour which combines n greater varluty of scenery and a wider in terest to the traveler than ono from Omaha to Sail rr.mclsccr nnit Los Angeles , Cnla. The traveler passes through the states of Ne braska , Colorado , Wyoming , Nevada and California and the territory of Utah. This is the great business belt of the west and at every step of the journey something or inter est presents Itself , whotbcr the tourist bo student , business man or merely pleasure seeker. Nebraska and Its prairies ; Colorado and its mountains ; Utah and its wonderful Salt loko ; Nevada and Its arid plains and Cali fornia with its innumerable attractions , arc all compassed In this trip. Omahn , the most prosperous city In the union toiluy ; Denver , the queen city of the Kocklw ; Salt Lake , the Zlon of Mormonilom ; San Francisco , the golden gate , and Los Angeles , the City of Our Mother of the Angels , form a string of Jewels of rarest water. These are all prosperous cities : they arc nil beautiful cities ; they nro alt wonderful cities. KachisromarKablo for seine particu lar reason. No two of them nro alike in attractions and no traveler can afford missing to SCO each and all. In tbo months of Juno , July , August nnd September the prairies of Nebraska , the Kocky mountains , tbo valleys of Utah and tbo great Sierra raugo are scon to the best possible advantage.

Tbo ticket otlored by THE BEB la return for the second largest list of weekly sub scribers obtained by Juno 10 , 1891 , allows stop-overs at nil points of interest between Omaha and Los Augclos. A week or a month may bo spent nt Denver visiting the pictur esque mountain resorts adjacent and another week can likewise he enjoyed at Salt Lake In hunting , fishlntr , sight seeing and bathing in tbo great inland soa. As .much tlmo us the passenger likes may bo enjoyably spent In San Francisco and other points in California , not executing the lovely orange proves and fruit orchards of southern California. Niagara falls , the world's greatest catar act , needs no glowing description. It cannot bo described. Pouring over n precipice 1W ) feet high , the immense volume of water of Niagara river , the outlet of the great lakes , llnds Its way toward the ocean. On either side of tbo river are splendid views of this tremendous waterfall , ubovo It and below it nud nil about it are other scenes which hnvo attracted travelers from all parts of the world. Gout Island , tbo burning spring , the whirlpool rapids , tbo suspension bridge , are incidents merely to a visit to Niagara falls. The field on which the battle of Lundy's Lane was fought is within a few minutes' drive on the Canadian side. Tbo facilities for visiting all points of interest on either side of the river are superior. The regula tions controlling access to and from the sev eral points now prevent the exorbitant chorees which were formerly almost as fam ous ns tbo cataract. A day or a few days at Niagara falls Is ouo great event In an aver age lifetime , and no American should over think of visiung tourist resorts abroad until ho has seen Niagara fulls. Ho can have no appreciation of powcr.'of grandeur , of awo- insplrlng beauty , who has missed a visit to this world renowned spot. coroie.ii > o.
