BECHEL'S ' STRONG ARGUMENT ,
Speech In the Council Meeting ravoriog the
Grading of Douglas Street.
GREAT PUBLIC BENEFIT IS SHOV/N / ,

Councilman William F. Bechel yesterday
wns kept busy receiving the congratulations
" * of citizens and fncnds who called to thank
him for the efforts put forth lu securing the
passage of the ordinance providing for the
grading of Douglas street from Sixteenth to
Twentieth.
As nil of the roadcru of TUB Ben know ,
this ordinance was burl oil lu the flics of the
council some weeks ngo. This happened
When Mr. Bcchcl was confined to Uls room
by sickness.
At tlio adjourned meeting of the council
Saturday night , as soon as tbo regular order
of business had been taken up , Mr. Bechel
arose , moved that the ordinance bo taken
from the files and put upou its final passage.
The motion was seconded and a lengthy dis
cussion ensued.
The city engineer was called upon for a
statement of the probable cost of doing the
work. He had not prepared an actual esti
mate , but thought the city's share of the
oipenso would not exceed $12,000.
Mr. Bruner talked of mosslmcks and sold
the Doughis street people should grade the
street under the throe-fifths clause , nnd
stand upon the same footing as residents of
tbo suburban portions of thn city.
Mr. Spccht opposed applying the city's
portion of the road fund to the grading of
Douclas street. Ho thought that it should
bo divided up and go to the other wards.
Mr. Bechel quietly retained his seat , nnd
otter the other member had concluded bis
remarks , arose and said :
"In support of the motion to pass the ordi
nance for the grading of Douglas and Inter
secting streets from Sixteenth to Twentieth
streets , I shall for the text of my remarks
take nn editorial from TUB EVENING Bui : of
April 10 :
wur anAniNO Htiour.n nn DONP.
"Tho 'three-fifths clanso' of the charter was
enacted for the bcnnllt of suburban residents
who urn anxious forstrcot Improvements. It
has boon modified to allow payments of costs
of such Improvements In Installments for tlio
further convenience of cltl7t > iisln thomilmrhs.
Without this law It would l > o pi nctlcalilo to tin
very little grading outsldu Iho central portions
tions of Umahn.
"Tho grndlne fund Is needed on streets
whoso Improvement Is demanded fnr thu In
terest of the puhllo Rpiiorally. Except In
the cnso of n few tlioronchfarrs UKu West
Karnnni street and I-owu avenue , thu
( ubiirbun street woik In strictly local
In Its benefits nnd It Is thcrnforn fair that Its
cost should bo restricted to those directly
licnollltcd. It Is not just to Insist that thn
cost of maintaining down town streets used
by tlm rntlro city and nocrssary to the com
fort anil convenience of suburban as well ns
centrally located residents filial ! bo charged
entirely to the property Immediately abut
ting.
'Tuthermore , in nearly every cnso , the
property abutting a tlimonsliforo has bcim
tpoclully taxed to nmke Improvements on ad
jacent atrcots. The Douglas street residents ,
lor Instance , liavo ptild a proportion of the
cxpciiROof Rradlnu I'arn.un. In addition to
the cost of bringing their own urcot to the
present grade.
"Tlio grading of Douglas Is a city enter
prise. It la not a scheme for the Improvement
of vacant lots or to Improve the appearance
of residence property actually occupied. On
the contrary , the proposed imido damages
ftvory occupied residence lot alnittlnc the
( trcct. It Is a business necessity In which the
whole olty Is Interested. It Is all bosh to
eomp ire the situation on 1'lfty-fourth and
California , for Instance , with that at Eight
eenth und Douglas , and Insist that the prop
erty owner nnd olty are hnnolltod In the same
degree at the ono place as the other. To the
owner of the former propel ty the grade means
a positive , immediate henelltto himself alone.
To the DoilgliiB street resident It Is an Imme
diate ( Iniuapa nnd 1m yields to the necessities
of his neighbors. Ultimately the Improve
ment may ho to his ndviintngu but directly It
IB for tlio licnoilt of the whole city and It Is
Enly fair that half the cost thereof shall
u paid by general taxes.
'This argument Is so torso , so logical , so
Incontrovertible , that I challenge any mem
ber on the floor to successfully controvert It.
Ills a necessary public improvement ; it is
demanded by the citizens and taxpayers of
the city. The street and intersecting streota ,
especially Eighteenth on the wcstsldo of the
city hall , are a standing disgrace to the city
of Omaha.
"it ) s said that tncro are no funds to pay
the city's share tot the grading to bo done.
Lot mo road you a copy of a resolution intro
duced by Mr. Berlin at the meeting of the
county commissioners and passed :
"Mr. Iturlln , being compelled to leave the
city , asUod that the regular order of business
bo suspended. This was done , after which ho
Introduced the following resolution :
"Kcsol\ed , That it Is the Intention of this
I v board to comply with the law governing the
' OovylnRiuid collecting of road tax within the
corporate-limits of oltlcsof the metropolitan
clasH , the next levy of which will bo made on
nr about Ju'y ' 1 , nnd will jjlvo the city of
Omaha n credit of about 8)0,000 ) , the proportion
of said credit to be nlloucd as soon as possible
af tor said levy In made.
- , "Ho moved Its adoption In order that the
- " oourd may bo plucod In a correct position before -
fore the people. The lesohulon was adopted.
'That certainly docs not look as though wo
would have no grading funds. Furthermore ,
I have conversed with other county commis
sioners , und I am satisfied beyond a doubt
that they will act honorably nnd honestly
with the city , carry out faithfully the pro
visions of the law lately enacted by tbo IcgU-
laturo and turn this money over at the earli
est practicable date. They cannot afford to
do otherwise.
"Even with the passngo of this ordlnanca
now , Its approval by the mayor , thu neces
sary advertising by the board of public
works , the letting of the contract nnd ap
proval by the mayor nnd council , will carry
it at lo.ist to the middle of Juno bnforo the
work can oven bo commenced ; hence , before
anything of consequence can bo done , funds
vyill bo practically available to pay the con
tractor partial payments.
"Furthermore , I believe contractors can bo
found who would not bo tenacious in de
manding partial payments , though duo , and
would willingly sign a contract to that effect.
As regards the plea that the mossbacks
on that street should pay the entire cost ot
gradltfg , it Is too puerile and foublo to bo
given oven the dignity of attention , it Is ar
rant nonsense , If not something worse. This
Is fully covered In TUB Quc editorial I re
ferred to.
"You have passed ordinance" nnd concur
rent resolutions making eight hours n day's
labor. To that I do not object ; but , at this
particular tlmo , it is not so much the hours
of labor that the thousands of Idle men want
but It Is work employment to keep their
families from starvtlon. To glvo thorn em
ployment would bo : ar more generous and
charitable than to glvo them , reduced
hours without work. This can bo done
br an early entrance on the work
of grading.Vo know practically the amount
of funds which wo w 111 have for the pur
pose. Paving , curbing , soworapo that Is ,
main sewers contracts cannot bo legally lot
until the bonds nro actually voted by a two-
thirds vote of the people ; that means several
months lu the future bcforo the work can bo
entered upon. If the members of this coun
cil want to do a generous act for the laboring
classes , If they want to show their apprecia
tion of tbolfriiccds and relieve their distress ,
this and other opportunities are at hand.
Can you afford to stultlfv yourselves and
huvo an avenging Nemesis follow you !
"Tho laboring men are growing restless
under this unnecessary and enforced idle
ness. They will remember It and thoia who
are accountable for it. if any member will
show mo ether grading nearly as necessary
as this m general bonollts 1 will cheerfully ,
vote for the ordinance. "
Mr. Dccbcl'dld not conclude with his
speech , but presented some tlgurcs , showing
the amount of money that tbo various wards
have received for grading purposes during
the past three years , The tigurcs are as fol

Of drummers who had Hod and promised
To deliver all goods purchnicd , on time-

A nightmare caused him to snort ,
For his boon was filled with back orders
Uf those goods purchased on import.

And found to his , utter dismay ,
That this drummer was still on the "war

Anil swiftly coming his way.

Saying the drummer could soon bo expected
To "swoop" down on his Innocent proy.

For the trigger ho surely will pull.

The firm of Remington & Johnson have in
their employ a young man that has for his
front nnmo a tttlo worn by a great magician
or something of that sort. Ho does the terri
tory south of this city , says the Salt Lake
Tribune , and in his travels has formed the
acquaintance of a youne lady who lives at or
near the town of Beaver. The parents of
this young woman are Mormons , nnd the
father and mother did not look with the
greatest favor on the young man's suit.
Another follow , who was In with the old
folks , did not either , and when the Salt
Laker catno around ho was generally greeted
with the utmost coolness. But ho persisted
in trying to get on the insldo , and this is
what he got :
The object of his affections was slightly In
favor of the young drummer nud used all
her efforts to win the old folks to his side ,
but without avail. But as love laughs nt
locksmiths ho likewise gives the merry ha I
ha ! to all the old people that try to cross his
path , and so one night In the dreary month
in which the woodchuck comes out nnd looks
to see If bis shadow is visible she told her
commercial mash that the old gent and the
old lady were golug to church that evening ,
and that if ho would come around they could
have a nice tlmo before they got back. Did
bo go ! Well , wo should say that bo did.
Ho put on a fiesh plcadilly and a brand now
four-in-hand nnd , wont to the house bcforo
the old folks were out of sight hardly. The
young woman was waiting for him. and the
manner lu which she col him into the house
was a caution to all those who are not ac
customed to got a quick pace on themselves.
But thu ether fellow was on dock also , and
ho happened aronnd just as the door closed
on the form of the man from Salt Lake , and
the first thing that bo did was to rush over to
the church and tell the old folks all about tbo
case , and they at once started for homo. The
young woman saw them coming up the walk
and what to do she did not know , as the sire
of the family was a bad old gent when ho
was aroused. It did not take long to decide ,
and in the twinkling of nn eye the young man
was hustled into a closet and the door closed
and locked. The old people nnd the other
fellow rusncd In , expecting to find the tourist
there , and to their great surprise ho was
gone , it would not do to lot the girt know
that they expected to find him there , so they
mndo nn excuse that they did not care to go
to church , and the trio sat down to
tail : over the matters that interest
the folks down there , and the poor
drummer was loft in the dark closet to amuse
himself by seeing how close ho could como to a
bandbox and not stop on it Well , these old
people and that ether young man stayed there
until the clock in the steeple struck 2 , and
then they announced their intention of going
to bed. The Morruon boy wont to his own
homo and the girl went up stairs. In the
meantime the drummer was getting very
warm , and the nlr in the closet was by this
tlmo frightfully bad. But ho could iiot get
out , and there no know ho must stay until his
adored ono came down and let him out. And
she , poor girl , was as helpless as n baby In
the matter , for the old people laid and talked
and talked for two hours. Finally , at 5
o'clock , the light stop on the stair told
him that the hour of his deliverance
was at hand , und a second later ,
all exhausted , bo was once more
breathing tbo pure , fresh air of freedom. As
ho loft the door she whispered to him to call
again , but ho made no reply until ho bad got
out of hearing of the young lady , and then
ho said , "Yes I will , " or something of that
sort.
sort.But his troubles were not over with by a
long \vav3 , and bo was destined to have an
other adventure. The landlord of the hotel
where ho was stopping had been troubled a
great deal with chicken thieves , nnd on that
particular night was sitting up to see if ho
could not catch ono ofitheui. It was so Iark
that ono could cut It with a knife and when
the youth got to the do'or ho was trying to
ilud it so ns to knock for admission. The
crusty old man , who was dozing In his chair ,
board him nnd nt once thought ho had stmck
a mine lu trio chicken thlof business , and ho
rushed out with a donblod-barrclod
gun , and the first thing that the
commercial man know ho was shooting
at him with a lot of goose shot. It
was in vain that the young man shouted , the
old fellow would not lot up , and ho started to
run and the landlord after him. As the old
chap bad no tlmo to reload his weapon , which ,
was very fortunate for the chasco in the
chase , ho resorted to clubbing , and for the
first mile got lu some heavy licks in the roar
of the youth's trousers. Finally the town of
Mlnorsvlllo was reached and there the chnso
ended. When the young man came to check
up ho found that ho had on what was left of
a flannel shirt and that that was about all
that ho could oall his own. Ho has quit going
to Beaver and another man hns that town on
bis run , and when a man says chickens in his
bearing or talks about going to sea the girls
ho gets mad nud will not join in the conver
satlon.

other incidental expenses. Now that this

eastern papers nro noVqlow to acknowledge
that the conditions have , been tully compiled
