This would be very poor economy. It is urged by certain parties that the Myer's plans should be abandoned, and a choice made among the plans proposed by other architects. excess over This would be a very grave -blunder, The exterior plans of Mr. Myers are pronounced by all expert builders as excellent, and, in fact, superior in every particn- lar to any other plans presented. No other architect had presented a plan that would meet the requirements of this county. We don't desire to disparage the ability of any architect who entered into competition, but we do protest on behalf of the people of Douglas county against any ginger-bread plan that simply aims to pleaso the eye at the expense of solidity, safety and con- venienco. Mr. Myers' building is classic, and will be in style five hun- dred years heuce, as it would have been in style five hundred years ago. The other plans were like the latest spring bonnet, good for one season and then discarded as out of date. That is not all. Mr., Myers' interior plans are perfectly in harmony with the exterior. Right here let us state that while the Denver: court house is a much larger and more imposing building it will only contain one fire-proof room, while the| proposed Douglas coun- ty court house is fire-proof through- out. If tho ginger bread plan had been adopted the building would have to be reconstructed within twenty years if it did not burn down in the meantime. A saving of twenty-five or fifty thousand dollars s no considerationin a public building when such a saving is merely a tem- porary expedient. The people of Donglas eounty will sustain the com- missioners if they carry out the orig- inal plan, and enforce the honest con- struction of the building in accord- ance with thav plan, even if it does cost $25,000 to 40,000 more than the original estimate, AMERICAN RAILROADS. The railroad system of the United States, according to the nearly pub- lished volume of Poor's Railroad Manual, covered, at the close of 1880, 93,671 miles. Fifty yoars ago only ninety-three miles of track were in operation, Last year alone 7,17 miles of railroad wore constructed, a record which exceeds that of any pre- vious year except 1871, when 7,670 miles were built, Mr. Poor gives the following table showing the num- ber of miles in operation at the end of each ddeade, together with the in- crease, beginning with the year 1830: Miles of Increase in Mileage. 2,705 3,208 22203 40,773 L 08071 1880 ... This remarkable showing is an elo- quent exhibit of the rapid growth of the country and the increasing wealth of its population, The development of railroads follows as well as precedes the development of the nation, Pio- neer lines built into apparent wilder- nesses are followed by feeders and competing railroads just as rapidly as the settlomont of the adjacent coun- try, and the growth of its industrial and commercial pursuits demands them. Railroads like every other commercial investment are constructed with the object of remunerating in- vesters. On this account the growth of our railroad system is under ordin- dby circumstances an unfailing index to the growth of the country through which they are built. The Manual which is accepted as good authority, gives the gross earn ings of the railways for 1880, at 8615, 401,931, against $5620,012,999 in 1879, and the net earning: 55,493, - 430, against $219,916,724 in 1879, | The dividends paid in 1880 aggregated | $77,115,411, against $01,081,470 in the year previous, The following is THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1881, a comparison between the years 1870 | company.

Tre annual convention of Ameri- can bankers will be held on August 10th, at Niagara Falls. promises to be one of the most inter- esting gatherings ever held by that body. The association was permanent’y founded in 1877, and the 6,900 banks of the country, including National, State, savings and private banks, all have representations in the body. The main object of the association is to gather reliable information from all parts of the United States relative to the condition of material interests and to act upon the lessons they teach. As Dr. Marsland, its secre« tary, says: ‘‘If there has been pro- gress, we want to find what causes it is due to. If there has been disaster, or danger is impending we want to find out what the signs were that in- The session dicated its approach, and the cause and source of the trouble, in order that we may apply the remedy.” Among the many interesting topics to be considered by the convention is that of financial panics. There are people both in this country and Eu- rope who profess to believe that an- other financial panic is close at hand, and] tho convention, looking over the field from the practical standpoint of bankers, will cover whether there be canse for alarm, to recommend such action as to turn the threatened danger aside, or bréak its force. The con- vention will also give considerable attention to the prosperity of our in- dustrial system. and consider the prac- tical needs of the southorn section of the country, The currency question, bank taxation and kindred topics will receive careful attention. It is ex- pected that at least 2.000 delegates will be in attendance, and that the three days’ session will be replete with interest, not only tv the baukers, but also to the great body of business men throughout the country. dis- any and if 8o endeavor to Tue grand assessment roll of Ne- braska, which we publish elsewhere, is not a very creditable exhibit. Ac- cording to these returns all the real and moveable property in Nebraska, including farm lands owned by pri- vate individuals and railway corpora- tions, town and city lots, live stock, factories, storehouses and dwellings, railroads, rolling stock and equip- ments, and all the bonds, moneys, mortgages and other investments only foot up a trifle over ninety-three ml- lions, Last year the total valuation of taxable property was ninety millions, Since the las) returns were made the rise in Nebraska real estate has been fully ten per cent. The build- ing improvements in Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island, Hastings, Plattsmouth and other cities and towns during the past year would foot up more than three million dollars. Add to this nearly four hundred miles of railroad constructed and equipped during the past year and it is self-evident that this year's grand total ought to aver- age over one hundred millions. That there is a screw loose somewhere or everywhere in the assessment of property is self-evident. The whole system of taxation in this state is rot- ten and needs thorough overhauling. The assessment of real property, ex- cepting in towns and cities, is perhaps reasonably fair, but the assessment of railroad property, as compared with the market value, is a brazen fraul, and the exemption of personal prop- ersy of money lenders who own the mor,gages on farms and city property is an imposition on all the other tax payers. Tue Omaha Telegraph, which has been running for nearly a year, has taken a high place among our German exchanges, Its latest improvement is a new and attractive heading, and a changed make-up, which adds greatly to the appearance of the paper. With its increased editorial force, and Mr. Otto Stroetzel's experienced supervis- ion, the literary and news depart- ments have also greatly improved, It is not too much to say that our German population look to the Zele- graph as an able and fearless exponent of German-American opinion.

A cor- poration which erects a barrier to trade and robs the citizens of two states by exorbitant tolls, declares large dividends and laughs at the fate of their highwaymen brethren. THERE has been another rise in lumber. When the Chicago, Milwau- kee & St. Paul reaches Omaha. as it certainly will before many months elapse, Omaha will be in direct com- munication with the great lumber re- gions of the northwest, Tue southern peovle are undoing the work of four heated political campaigns by their generous and manly expressions of sympathy with their president aud his family. A translation of ‘‘Monsieur, Mad- ame and the Baby,” by Gustave Droz, is soon to be published by T. B. Pet- erson & Brothers, of Philadelphia. It is said to be very popular in France, and is described as a Frenchman’s treatment of the theme that forms the humorous basis of ‘‘Helen’s Babies,” and no doubt will have a large sale in this country, as it is spicy and entertai ing, with a descriptive illustrated cover by a new artist. Petersons’ new summer book, ‘‘Mildred’s Ca- det,” is having a great success. It is an excellens story of West Pomt life, and will repay reading. OGCIDENTAL JOTTINGS.

Justice Nathan Clifford, of the Uni- ted States supreme court, who died at Cornish Monday, was born in Rum- ney, Grafton county, N. H., August 18. 1803, He was educated at Haver- hill Academy and at the Hampton Literary Institution. Ho studied law, and, after being admitted to the bar in 1827, removed to Maine. He was elected to the legislature of that state from York county to 1830, and was reelected in 1831, 1832, and 183 He held the i of speaker in 1832 and in 1833, In 1834 he became attorney-general of the state, an oftice which he held four years. He was elected to congress from one of the Maine districts in 1839. and was re-elected in 1841, In 1846 he was _appointed attorney-gen- eral by President Polk, and in March | of the following year was appointed commissioner'to Mexico, and, after the close of the Mexican war, was ap- })nintc!l minister to that country, On his return he took up his resi- dence at Portland, Me. and devoted himself to the practice of law, In 1858 he was appointed associate justice of the United States Supreme court, The deceased jurist wasa democrat of the extreme type, as evidenced by his votes in the now celebrated ‘electoral commission of 1877, of which he was a member.
