E. ROSEWATER. Publisher ——— Tt Omaha Postoffie is re-enfore- d by & $20,000 appropriation and itis to be hoped work will be re- sumed without further delay. — AxD now the New York hod car- yiers are on a strike for higher wages. They evidently don’t pro- propose to mount a seaffold without a proper recompense in this world ? — fexaTor TIPTON'S reasons for voting against the civil rights bill only confirm what people of Nes braska have known long ago, that our senjor Senator is nothing, if not an arrant demagogue. — ProFEssor TYNDALL may as well retire with his prayer guage. Accor- ding to Geo. Washington Van Cott: «The prayer of the Republican was answered and & refreshing shower came on Saturday evening.” — Normix very definite has reach- ed us, 0 far, from the Oregon elec- tion. The report that Grover, the Democratic candidate for Governor, §s elected, needs confirmation. The Independents have carried several counties, but jt will probably require official returns before the result of State ticket can be positiyely an- nounced. - Tue effort of the Council Bluffs claimants to pass the bill compel- Jing the U. P. railroad to operate their road to Spoon, Lake through the Jower houseJof Congress, under a suspension of the rules, proved a ‘most ignominious failure. The bill is shelved for the present session, and that virtually puts it beyond a resurrection. —_— ACCORDING to the public debt statement just published, the de- cerease of the National debt during the month of was nearly four millions and a half. That speaks well for the economy of the Adm - istration. It seemis to us, however, that a decrease of public taxation would be preferable just now to a decrease of the public debt. —_— Cor. NotewAre will have to ook to his laurels. Colorado has heard about his forty thousand Rus- sians, and the officers of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad have con- cocted & scheme to induce them to gettle on their lands in the Arkan- Valley. They have recently issued 2 manifesto to the Mennonite por- gion of the Russians, assuring them that Indian scares are over and dance houses and faro banks have taken a back seat. — TaE premium list of the Nebras- ka State Board of Agriculture and State Horticultural Society for the eighth annual exhibition, to be held in Omaha between September 29th and October 2d, is now on our table. It is & neatly printed pamphlet, covering sixty-five pages, devoted chiefly to a classification of the in- AQustries that are to compete for pre- eminence at the coming fair. Want of time and space prevent an ex- tended notice, and we therefore re- serve our comments upon the pro- gramme to some future day. — As will be seen by our Washing- ton dispatches, General Thayer has made an able argument in begl of Omaha, as the initial point of the Union Pacific, before” the Senate “Pacific Railcosd’ Committee. No- body is better qualified for such a task than General Thayer. His familiarity with the Union Pacific Charter, and the fact that the amendments to that document, and the U. P. bridge bill, was enacted while he was a member of the Sen- ate Pacific Railroad Committee, give him peculiar advantages in : and we apprehend be of practical service as long as the | old plunder and blackmail system is countenanced and kept up by the | Marshal himself. Nobody knows better than | Marshal Snowden that the | employment of a constable to serve | ts from the Police Court is simply | and spirit of the charter. The 1‘ framers of the charter expressly | prohibited the Marshal and Police from collecting any fees for the ar- | rests of violators of the ordinances, | or for testifying in the Police Court. | This was done to protect innocent | parties from imposition by greedy policemen who would frequently make indiscriminate arrests for the sole purpose of pocketing the fees. This wholesome provision has be- come a dead letter, because the Marshal places his favorite constable into the Police Court, instead of de- The constable is under no restraints from the charter, and hence he finds somerich pickingin the Police Court, We have already denounced this practice, and must again repeat that it is an imposition which should no say & fow words about the Omaha social evil system, which we have good reason to believe has done ‘more to corrupt and demoralize our police foree than any other known agency. Ithasall the worst features of the license system without any of its redeeming qualities. While prostitution is treated asa crime its habitual votaries are made to do penance by regular monthly fines, These fines were originally intended as contributions to the publie school fund, but practic- ally the greater portlon has been systematically appropriated by a confederate spy, who receives his authorjty through the Marshal, and plays the part of informer and of- ficer. Thss is by no means the worst feature. The system Is the source of unblushing frauds both upon the city and the social evil victims, These frauds are perpe- money is extorted which never sees the City Treasury. Other transac- tions of a most scandalous char- acter have been reported tous, which cannot but have & very demoraliz- ing tendency on our police force. can hardly be ignorant. P. 8.—Since writing this article, we have received a communication, touching this subject, from Judge Wilbur. This communication will be found in our local coulmns. While it corrects some errors in our esti- mate of the amounts collected by the Police Coutt from the social evilists, it does not materially alter the fact that theemployment of a go-between to attend to this class of offenders | by the Marshal affords a great scope | for swindling and blackmailing. | Parties who claim to be posted de- | clare that there are ot less than | two hundred women in Omaha to- day that would properly come un- der the social evil ordinanee. While they do not all live in public houses they could be readily fereted out by an efficient officer. Out of this number, according to the Judge’s | showing, only forty-nine were re- turned by the Marshal. Did the others escape because they were not known ? and how many have been | induced to make private settle- ment without the knowledge of the | Marshal ? | S—— | AN able article against the pro- ; posed reduction of the army appears | in the New York World. The fol- lowing extract is déemed worthy of | reproduction : | The cheap virtue of Congress is | no more cheering to contemplate | than its costly vice. Tt could not have shown cheaper virtue than it showed yesterday by passing the bill for the reduction of the army, against tle remonstrance of Gen. Sherman, against the remonstrance of the Seeretary of War, and with out the support, so far as we are vised, of a single respectable mi tary name. The officers of the army are on the whole and with_ wonderfully few exceptions the ablest and faithfullest public_ser- vants we have, * % * Altriost every man who holds a Commission in the army has won it by some definite achievement, after a real probation of his fitness for it.

Parents should remember this.
