COMMISSIONER TIMMIS should not give
up his search for information In regard
to post-mortom expenditures in the cor
ner's oflico.
Tun experience of Philadelphia and a
few other cities in this country suggests
the question whether or not a bank ex

A NEW electric light company in Den
ver offers to furnish arc lamps at 38.75
per month. The old company demands
812.50. Omaha pays $14.69 per month.
No doubt Mr. George nicks would
mnlco a competent member of the board
of public works , but unless ono of the
two democrats will resign his politics
bars him from membership.
DKNVKR street railway companies are
removing unused tracks from the streets.
This is a hint for the Omaha company
which the council might emphasize by
n , resolution or ordinance if necessary.
TllK most important question now bo
lero the now Chicago appellate court is
whether or not the judges shall wear
gowns. If the judges consult the senti

will omit this antiquated ilummory.

These ships appear to believe it is bet

THE ono idea prohibitionists wore de
feated in the Ohio convention nnd the

loaded down with declarations upon all
the controversial topics now before the
American people , including woman's

COUNCIL BLUFFS ia in earnest in her
efforts to secure a , union passenger depot.
Council BlulTa ought to bo successful in
securing this convenience. She has
done enough for tlio railways centering
there and has a Qufliciont volume of busi
ness to warrant the confidence with
which her citizens are assorting them
selves on this proposition.
RUSSIA may find that the expulsion
from Moscow of Ilorr Goldborgor , thb
eminent Jewish financier and diplomatist
of Belgium , was n most impolitic act. It
is likely to aronso the sentiment of the
world against Russian intolerance , and
Russia is not great enough in resources ,
reputation or area to defy the public
sentiment of the nineteenth century.
IK THE southern alliance will keep its
word and refuse to support Grover
Cleveland for the presidency , the
"stuffed prophet of Williams street"
will not glva the democratic national
convention a onanco to snow him under.
The southern alliance is democratic and
its wishes will bo respected. The only
hope of the democrats in 1802 is in the
ullianco , south and north.
THE defaulting ox-elty treasurer of
Philadelphia hns pleaded guilty on
17 counts to the indictment against
him. The aggregate penalty of
these will bo about sixty years Imprison
ment. In view of these facts the good-
natured prosecuting attorney has de
clined to prosecute him upon these re
maining , at least until after the penal
ties on the 17 have boon worked
out. It Is possible to satisfy oven n
Philadelphia lawyer.
TIIK board of trade should not bo

too in favor of making an olTort to so-
nuro ono of the great party conventions
for Omaha. The committee should got

OMAHA'S
Cheap fuel Is a vital factor in the
growth and permanency of manufactur
ing industries. Every great manufac
turing center in the United States owes
its strength to the abundance and cheap
ness of fuol. Pittsburgh pro-eminence
as a city of factories was reared on a
foundation of cheap steam-making
power. The convenience of coal , the
abundance of petroleum and later the
Internal seas of natural gin discovered
nnd nuulo subservient to man's will , till
combined to make the Smoky City a
manufacturing center of the llrst magni
tude. The history of other oltloa show
that where the rnw material exists in
abundance , the disadvantage of costly
fuel Is partially overcome , but when
both are concentrated at a given point ,
the number and character of manufac
tories depend on the energy and enter
prise of the people.
The question of cheap fuel Is one of
the main obstacles confronting every
movement calculated to increase the In
dustries of Omaha. The bulk of our
steam malting coal comes from Iowa and
Kansas , hut its cheapness is apparent
only In weight. Measured by the quan
tity consumed to produce a given amount
of power , the margin of profit over the
cost of superior coal from more distant
points Is slight. We must look to other
sources for bettor and cheaper coal.
In abundance and variety Of stoam-
mnklng power Wyoming possesses de
cided advantages over any section trib
utary to Omaha. The coal treasures of
the state are Inexhaustible- . Develop
ment is in its infancy , yet it has
established itself us the household fuel
Of the west. Excessive cost of transpor
tation prevents more extensive use , and
years must elapse before it can become a
factor in Omaha's industrial growth.
But the vast oil bislns of the state afford
a permanent solution of the fuel prob
lem.
lem.Tho
The Importance of this great sea of
petroleum to Omaha's Industrial future
is beyond question. There is no longer
any doubt of the extent and value of the
basins or the superiority of the oil in
quality and quantity , over that
which in little over a genera
tion added millions upon millions
to the nation's wealth , multi
plied industries , stimulated prosperity
and placed Pennsylvania in the front
rank of manufacturing states. Practical
demonstrations have dispo lied all doubts
and established its character. All this
preliminary work was carried on by mon
of moderate moans , who , had their re
sources boon equal to their pluck , would
ere this have placed Wyoming oil on
the markets of the world. Thorough
and systematic development requires
greater capital , but all efforts to secure
sufficient moans from outsLdo sources
have heretofore been frustrated by mer
cenary influences.
The value of this product as a
steam-making power is but ono of
the leading elements , it Is an ar
ticle of universal use and the city which
controls the output and applies it in
creating now and sustaining old indus
tries not only fortifies itself against com
petition but secures a strong load in the
race for supremacy in the west.
Nebraska men and moans practically
control the field. They command all avenues -
onuos of approach to the best basins.
But they cannot maintain their grip
without substantial assistance. It rests
with local capitalists whether Nebraska
and its metropolis ah-.ill reap the
full benefits destined to flow from
the Wyoming oil fields. Omaha
must lead and anchor its interests
in the field. The energy and sagac
ity which in seven years made Omaha
the third stock market of the country ,
should bo pressed into harness again and
with the addition of enterprising newcomers
comers , found a western Standard oil
company. There is nothing of a specu
lative nature in the investment. It ia a
golden opportunity demanding mon with
the ability to grasp and the moans to
execute an enterprise of such magnitude.
John Rockafollor had but little moans
at his command when ho purchased
his first oil roil nary in Cleveland.
The seller chuckled ever the fancy
price obtained. But Rockafollor com
prehended the vast possibilities of
the business , pressed to his sup
port loss aggressive investors , and
roared a fortune , the amount of which
ho could not determine , under outli , by
a trifle of twenty millions. Wyoming1
offers today far mora tempting indueo-
monts than confronted Rookafollor
20 years ago. Omaha Is to Wyo
ming what Cleveland was to Pennsyl
vania. The conditions are favorable for
the birth of several Roskafollora and
the upbuilding of colossal commercial
and industrial interests in Omaha.
Prompt action is necessary to perma
nent success.
Mil. nOSHWATKH AND AM RltlOANLAUOll
It Is not necessary to say to the older
readers of TUB BKI : that Its editor has
always boon the friend and champion
of American labor. For 20 years ho
has advocated its cause in the columns
of this paper and battled for its interests
in the political arena. As an employer
ho has always paid the union scale of
prices , and In ovovy relation with labor
has compiled promptly with its reason
able demands. In the prolonged con
flict between the Burlington railroad
company and its engineers Tins BKU was
on the side of the mon , and in no contest
between labor and capital In which labor
appeared to bo in the right has this
paper failed to advocate its cause. No
man in this country , certainly no editor ,
has done moro to advance the welfare
and upuold the rights of labor than Mr.
Rosewater , and ho Is as earnestly and
heartily its friend now as at any
tlmo in the past. The posi
tion of THE BKI : regarding immi
gration has boon so frequently
stated that it is presumed all of its
readers fully understand it. It Is simply
that worthy foreigners , able and willing
to earn a livelihood and well disposed to
our laws , should have no barrier put in
the way of their coming to the United
States. Such people , Tin ; BKI ; thinks ,
there is still room and opportunity for
hero , and it bellovos their coming will
Increase the general prosperity. There
has been for the last two or throe years
a great outcry against immigration ,
recently intensified by the af
fair at Now Orleans aud the fact
that the number of Immigrants this year
has boon considerably larger than for
the corresponding period of last year.
Tins Bun has no sympathy with this
nor with the proposition that the gov
ernment should exclude unskilled labor.
It believes that this labor Is needed
hero to perform work which American
labor will not do. The latter cannot bo
had for the grading of railroads , the
digging of sewers and work of this character -
actor , and without the supply of foreign
unskilled labor willing to do thla work
very llttlo of It would bo
dono. Tin : BKU honors that spirit
In the American worklngman whloh
loads him to refuse such menial employ
ment. It Is this spirit which has had
most to do with oluvallng labor In this
republic and with making the American
worker the most prosperous and comfortable -
fortablo of any in the world. Only these
who would debase American labor are
willing that it shall perform the menial
work at any prlco , which is now done by
foreign labor.
The enemies of TllK Bl'.K and of
Us editor undertake a losing task
when they attempt to make it
appear that Mr. Rosewater is not a
friend of American labor. The record
of 20 years of conflict in the interest
of that labor conlllctthat demanded in
domitable courage and intense work
is so overwhelmingly against them that
their puny assaults can no moro prevail
against it than could the missile from a
toy gun penetrate a steel armored ship
of war.
JA'EQ I/mi 7JL K A SSHSSMKNT3.
The returns of the assessor of the
First ward reveal glaring inequalities
in the matter of valuations for taxation.
The assessor in that ward is an oxp'ori-
enccd man and has performed the duties
of the olllco for a long period. lie
ought to bo a good judge of values. Ills
list is therefore taken as an example of
the tax-shirking of corporations and the
inequitable methods of making Valua
tions. In other wards similar lapses of
judgment will bo discovered In the matter -
tor of assessing corporations , though it
is to bo hoped there arc no such glaring
inconsistencies.
January 1 , 1891 , when THE BEE made
up its annual showing of the Improve
ments for the year 1890 , the Thomson-
Houston Electric Light company vouch
safed the information that it had ex
pended upwards of $300,000 within
the preceding twelve months upon
its plant in this city. It was then
supplying light for 5,000 incandescent
lamps and 120 arc lamps. Its pay-roll
contained the names of GO employes. It
was then as now receiving S175 per
2,000-powor arc light from the city and
it was admitted on all hands to bo a well
equipped electric lighting establish
ment. About April 1 , the date for
which the prcsontasscssmontstnnds , the
president repeatedly claimed that the
company had invostsd $700,000 in Omaha
and he pleaded with councilmen to
protect their investment against
a smaller concern which was seek
ing a franchise. The company
has $500,000 of paid up capital stock and
has issued bonds amounting to $400,000. '
The franchise itself is also of great
value. In 1890 seventy-five miles of wire
wore put up and a largo amount of now
machinery was added.
Yet in the face of these facts admitted
by the company , known to the public nnd
to the assessor , that officer upon his sol
emn oath values its personal property at
$15,415 and the real estate on which the
power house is located at $9,0001
It is known of course that the whole
city is valued at but $21,000,000 , whereas
its real worth is not loss tnan $200,000-
000. In other words , the average taxable -
able valuation of property is about one-
tenth of its cash value. On this basis
the electric lignt property should bo as
sessed at $70,000 at least , for the plant is
certainly worth what the president says
it cost.
The assessor's judgment is not so defective -
foctivo in asssssing private property.
The Motz brewery , built years ago , is
rated at $18,000. The building of the
Goodman drug company at $10,000 ; the
Bouiis bag factory at $11,000 ; and the
Amos building at $9,000. The Electric
light company's building is ono of the
best in that part of the city , and covers
three lots. It is assessed at $9,000. The
Moline Milburn building costless money
and stands upon one lot. It is assessed
at $10,900. The Bushman building cost
$115,000 and occupies loss than a full lot.
It is assessed at $10,000. The
Omiihu hardware company's stock goes
in at $13,000. The entire personalty of
the electric light company including
its expensive machinery , its miles upon
miles of wire , and other properly is said
by this assessor on his oath to bo worth
$15,415. Against this is the personal
property of the Omaha Elevator com
pany listed ut $20GO ( ! , and that of Fair
banks , Morse & Co. , at $15,000.
What ( i farcol Uow long will the people -
plo of Omaha tamely submit to these
impositions , these discriminations in
favor of corporate monopolies , these
false returns of values ?
COONOIL31UN DONNULLY and ElsaS-
ser knock a great hole in the mayor's
message vetoing the bond election or-
dlnanco , In their report upon that docu
ment According to their well digested
conclusions instead of having 31,000,000
available for street improvements with
out voting bonds as claimed by the
mayor , the aggregate is but $270,000.
Mayor Gushing now has the floor. The
disoubslon between him and the council
may throw llcht upon this very inter
esting subject and eventually lead to the
establishment of some sort of intelligence -
gonco oJico | wlioro all parties interested
can go for reliable information.
TIIK Minneapolis 7Vi'/une ( calls this
"little Omaha " and In
great city , the
same paragraph oxprobsos the fear that
wo are big enough to capture the
republican nut'otml convention. The
epithet does not hurt and simply puts us
on our mottle to make it interesting for
the Minnesota metropolis in the cam
paign for the convention.
DKS MOINKS Is a , city of 50,000 people.
The information to bo obtained thuro by
the board of public works Is doubtless
very valuable to Omaha , but whllo the
city oflloials wore absent learning how
DCS Mollies paves her streets , the public
work In Omaha languished and the cedar
blocks of Spaulding street continued to
float toward tlio.Gulf of Mexico.
IN splto of the largo number of now
buildings nnd other enterprises estab
lished within a year in the first ward the
total valuation of personalty shows a
gain of but $15.000 ever last year. The
llrst ward grows In wealth faster than
In taxable valup. The other wards
probably grow , ifkowiso.
Tun next tlraojtho city contracts for
street llngor-boiirds It should provide
that they bo maintained In good order
'or a term of years. The natno of every
street should bo shown at intersections
so that strangers may bo able to find
themselves.
WltKltK Is the principal business office
of the Electric Light company ? Under
the ruling of the county commissioners
should not thtd corporation return Its
personal property to the Fourth ward
Instead of the First ?
WHAT excuse can the board of publio
works give for the present condition of
the pavement on Spaulding street ?
Why should that street remain prac
tically Impassable for ton days.

Notwithstanding the famine threatening

Germany , Franco nml Itnly obstinately main
tain llicfr burbnrons system * of taxation on
bread. There Is llttlo doubt that the Inter
ests that have speculated largely uj > rtii ix ilso
in the prices of wheat nnd other cereals iird
exercising n pffumt Inlluonco In preventing
ovdn a tcmjiorn'ry suspension of the grain
duties. It those duties should bo suspended
wheat nlul corn would pour | nto Kuropo from
the United States und other regions In an
abundant stream , and this would bo/ipcoillly
followed by n decline In prices. The Gor
man , French and Italian governments scorn ,
however , to prefer that their people should
starve rather than that these who nro
speculating In the prices of bread should
suffer a loss of urcfUs. But If this
policy shall bo persisted in much longer In
the condition of the grain markets there Is
reason to bollovo that It will produce not
merely bread riots , but much more serious
conflicts between the people of Kuropo and
their nilors. A more rational ground for po
litical revolution could scarcely bo found
tlma that afforded by n policy of government
which taxes the broad of the tolling masses
in order to maintain vast standing armies.
Every day the pomilar murmurs against this
policy are assuming- moro menacing tone.
The patient Gorman work legman who have
been making lists in their pockets will act
with terrible energy when they shall feel
more keenly the pinch of starvation and shall
clearly recognize that their sufferings nro
largely duo to the pig-headed and perverse
obstinacy of their imperial government.

For more than half a century Venezuela
has been protesting against British encroach
ment. Commissioners have been sent to
London to press her claims , but without
avail ; and just as steadily as the sea en
croaches on the land and swoops away old
landmarks , so Great Britain has continued to
survey territory , establish posts , ralio flags
nnd overawe all opposition by a display of su
perior forco. A few years ago Guzman
Blanco , ox-dictator of Venezuela , was sent as
ambassador to England , where ho still ro-
malns ; but it soon became evident that ho
was false to his trust and ho was burned In
efllgy In the Venezuelan capital. The
discoveries of valuable gold deposits In the
dobatcablo territory are undoubtedly nt the
bottom of Great Britain's movements. Last
year tno British commissioner seized mineral
lands near the Orinoco , and when Venezuela
sent a gunboat to the mouth of that river the
British authorities dispatched n war vessel
to the same spot und compelled the com
mander of the Venezuelan vessel to lower his
colors , at the saino time occupying the dis
puted zone with a military forco. Or. Pulldo
was sent by the Venezuelan governinont.to
London to soctiro , if possible , n settlement of
the dispute , but Lord Salisbury demanded
that Venozula should , ns the very foundation
of arbitration , concede to Great Britain all
the territory now claimed by It an ultima
tum which was , of course , at once rejected.
If the British pretensions should bo finally
sustained Vonezula would lese not only her
cold fields , but also the exclusive control of
tbo mouth of the Orinoco , ono of the three
great rivers of South America ; and the pos
session by a European power of this strategic
point would enable it to levy tribute upon
the unlimited territory penetrated by this
immense water course.

Nowhere iu Latin America is tbo experi
ment of self-govern mc.-it bcintr conducted
under such disadvantages ns In Haytl.
French and negro blood combine as badly
as French and Indian. Its main product is
ignorance aad worthlcssnoss , Its collateral
product Is cruelty. There nro just enough
exceptions to this rule to invite the hope of
improvement nnd not enough to us.sure it
Hayti is n particularly bad plnco for such n
combination to live in. The land enriches
any ono who is content to sit still and let
things grow , and that is a condition which
almost necessarily leads to public disorder.
The loss that n hotheaded and excita
ble people have to do and the less
they need to , the moro surely do
their tendencies toward excess overcome
prudence nnd morality. Hayti is n natural
garden where crops must crow at the least
provocation. Money comes easily to all and
Is as easily thrown nway. Politics Is the
natural resort of every adventurous disposi
tion , and the stop from ambition to bloodshed
comes easily at onco. The history of Huytl
presents little that Is encouraging to these
who have hoped to BOO the Island develop
Into an orderly , independent community. It
has been a record of Hlppolytca and Lugiti-
mes. Unless n change for the bettor soon
occurs , the United States will bo under the
necessity of making especial arrangements
for the peace nnd safety of their resident cit
izens.

The numerous attacks upon foreigners In
different parts of China nro assuming an
alarming character. The anti-foreign riots
at Tching-Klnng In February , 18bl ! , and nt
Han-Kcou , In July of thosamo year , have not
been repeated on the same largo scale ; but
they have been followed by a scries of
isolated outrages and murders , like the two
which have been reported by cable within a
fortnight. It should bo noticed that they oc
cur at a time when the Chinese government
and authorities in most provinces are ap
parently displaying unusual friendship
for the "barbarians. " The ofllclal
representatives of the latter wore
treated to & splendid banquet on the occasion
of the emperor's ' woddlng , in March of liibt
year ; and the diplomatic corps was received
for the first ttmo in solemn audience by the
emperor in March of this yoar. Again , when
a committee of foreigners was formed nt
Shanghai , in order to assist the Chinese dur
ing the famino.of 1SSO , the efforts of the com
mittee were ofllclally recognized by the viceroy -
roy of the two Kiang provinces , which sent
to tbo members of the committees exceed
ingly complimentary letters. Unfortunately ,
the majority of the Chinese people do not en
tertain for the "foreign dovlls" the friendly
fooling shown by tholr government nnd high
ofllcials. They are especially infuriated
when they see foreigners penetrating
further and further into the interior. The
lower classes are also incited by Chinese
merchants , jealous of seeing a portion of
their business passing into the bauds of for
eigners. The Cnlostlal authorities are com
pelled sometimes , though It would seem un
willingly , to stop the advance of the foreigners -
ors inland. For instance , though the Tclio
Fou convention authorized English steamers
to po up the Yang Tao Klang river , popular
sentiment was so strongly opposed to the
scheme that the British company which was
ready to start a boat wus compelled to give
up the enterprise , and It hns recently sold Its
steamer to the Chinese government.

N , Nob. , .Tuno 1' ' , [ Special to Tins
BKK. ] Lincoln has n light of Its own which
rcacmbioi somewhat the i.otod Holmrod-
Carnes oil Inspection cuso now pending in
the district court of Douglas county. The
row Is ever the chairmanship of the board o
public works , Mr. Marshal was appointee'
chairman of the board last year by Mayor
Graham. Ho has therefore served only out
yonr of his three year's term ns n member ol
the board. Hut the now mayor , Mr. Wolr ,
has appointed Prof. Hicks to the position ol
chairman and wishes to reduce Mr. Marsha !
to the poiition of n common member of the
board. As the chairmanship Is worth ? 1-K (
per annum nnd the other two positions but
* iOO , Mr. Marshal objects to being thus do-
prhcd of JJOOil , and declares that there is no
power to remove him except for Just cause.
Ho cites ns causa for hU action
the precedents established In regard to the
chairmanship not only in Lincoln , but also In
Omaha. He refuses to surrender the oflico
and has appealed the case to the city council
and that body has referred the matter to the
judiciary committee. A report on the same
will uo made next Monday evening. No
matter what the decision will be It is learned
that the defeated person will bring quo war-
ranto proceedings nnd have the supreme
court pass on the matter.

Hay Anderson , the fourteen-year-old son ol
Reuben Anderson , Twonty-nlnth und Hoi"
drogo streets , mot his death yesterday by
falllnir Into n deep hole Hi n pool two blocks
east of his home. There is a culvert at the
place , but the orlflco Is so small that the re
cent rains have made It inadequate for the
purposes for which It was intended ,
The backing up of the water caused
the formation of n .small pond
nnd the lad was wading In it
when ho suddenly struck n place beyond his
depth and sank. Ho wus carried to the nar
row culvert by the swift current , but saved
hlmsolf from being carried under by urasp-
ing the edge of the tilo. Some men who were
passing witnessed the accident nnd they res
cued the lad just.as his hold was beginnngto !
weaken. On being taken out > ho fainted.
The lad was taken to bis homo where ho rc-
gained consciousness. It was then thought
that ho was out of danger , but in n few min
utes his breathing became labored and in
half an hour ho was dead. It is believed that
death was caused either by the shock or rupture -
turo of some internal organ.
MK1. IION'D'S HOTEL.
Mrs. Bond has secured an injunction
npniust Paul F. Clark to restrain him from
soiling , deeding or incurabering or Interfer
ing with the Bond hotel. As will bo remem
bered , Clark purchased the § 100,000 hotel for
SI at sheriff's ' sale , it being apparently plas-
tere0 with mortgages. Later Mrs. Bond
secured an injunction claiming that she did
not know that there was nny judgment
against hor. On the hearing today au at
tempt was made to prove that she did know
ot the .suit and had asked tlmn , but this testi
mony availed nothing , the court allowing tbo
injunction.
