Ee—— Tue opium habit is increasing with terrible strides iu this country, Phy- sicians say that four thousand is a moderate estimate of the total number ©f native American victims to the wice, and these consume one hundred geuins of the drug a day. This gives a daily consumption of four hundred thousand grains, or nearly nineteen thousaud pounds during the year. It is stated that about three draws of the smoking opium, equivalent to six #rude opium, make the average quota of » day's consumption. 92,00 | Three Months.. 50 | § i h 9 THE N7.W COURT HOUSE. When tlse proposition to vote 125, 000 in bonds for building a new comrt house for Douglas county was first submitted by the commissioners, {welve months ago, it was urged with great force that a fire proof building to protect and secure our public rec- ords was an absolute necessity. A ! large majovity of the peoplo that voted for the court house bonds would never have voted a dollar had there been any intimation that the new court house was to afford ne hetter protec- tion against fires than the old one. At the time the bonds were voted the commissioners were assured by com- petent architects that £160,000 would bo ample to build a handsome fire proof structure, then labor and material have advanced fully twenty per cent. and a8 a consequence the estimates made a year ago have fallen short. The com- missioners, hanipered by repeated de- lays in procuring the plans and speci- fications, andadvertisingfor bids, found that the amount authorized by the pooplo at the last election would not enable them to erect such a building as was at first proposed. Modified plans and specitications were drawn for a building that would come within the limit of tho authorized cost at pres- ent prices, and after submitting bids to responsible contractors it was dis- covered that no fire proof building of the requisite dimensions could be built for the $150,000. Under a law passed in 1879 county comnmissioners are expressly forbidden to con- ract for public buildings at a greater cost than is authorized at an election by the voters of the county. This is a very wise law, but it pre- vents our commissioners from legally entering into contract for the new court house at a greater cost than £160,000, even although they had the entire surplus on hand. In compliance with the law the peo- ple of Douglas county have therefore been invited to decide at the coming election whether they favor the con- struction of & fire-proof court house, built according to the original plans of Architect Myers, of Detroit, or whether they are willing to have these plans so modified as to permit the erection of a less substantial building. A contract has been entered into on behalf of Douglas county by the com- missioners with a responsible Detroit builder to erect the new court house according to the original plans and specifications of Architect Meyers for the sum of $198,000, providing the people of this county grant authority to increase the cost of the court house to that amount. In their proclama- tion, the commissioners propose no additional issue of bonds, but they merely ask authority to draw 825,000 in the year 1832 and $25,000 in the year 1883 out of the surplus funds in the county treasury. In other words, no more bonds are to be issued, nor is the tax levy to be raised. All they ask is authority to iuvest §25,000 of their surplus funds each year for the next two years upon the new court house. Every level-headed man must agree with us that it would be very poor econciny to build a new court house that will not endure for at least two or three generations; and it would be the most reckless folly to put up a court house that is not fire- proof. Omaha is already a metro- politan city, and we should have a court house not merely safe and com- modious but a building that would be an ornament to the city. In this the farmer is just as much interested as the mechanic, merchant and manufacturer. Even those who opposed the court house bonds should now insist. that the commi shall erect the building according to the original plans, because it is in the end most economical. Since SECRETARY WINDOM SPEAKS Secretary Windom has repudiated portions of the interview published in the Boston Globe of the 8th inst., but the main point, in which he stated that the treasury department wounld not be used as & medium to regulate the condition of Wall street, undoubt- odly oxpresses his real sentiment. Thero has boen a tendency on the part of eastern bankers to resent this declaration cl the secretary of the treasury as rank financial heresy, and some have been even bold enough to declare that such o statement by Mr. Windom should at once result in his enforced retirement from oftice. the country at large will ap- plaud the attitude of Becretary Windom. The treasury department in times past has been too much at the beck and call of the gamblers in Wall street. During the war, when heavy “deals” were made i gold and speculation ran riot, the tongue of scandal did not spare several sub- treasurers in New York city, whose knowledge of the time when gold was to be sold by the government to re- liove the monoy market was put to good advautage in selling on margins. One sub-treasurer, who is now an officer in & prominent financial insti- tution, retired from his salaried office in 1864 with nearly a million dollars on the credit side of his bank book, derived from speculating un the stroes through his official information of prospective sales and purchases of gold by the treasury department. The ery of the eastern stock gam- blers that i -| ernment to reli I'HE OMAHA DAj o duty of the vo any wingency in the money market is sheor nonsensc. Tt is & notorious fact that money for logitimate investmont has never been more plenty than at the present tine, Burop count in the east sapital s at a positive dis- Millions of dollars formorly secured in government funds by the purchase of and liberated bonds in the refunding operations are | secking sate investment, The holders | of these moncys will not nee them for speculative purposes; many of them cannot do so as the funds are held in the stock 1all they can to keep up the inflated prices of trust for estates. Hence gamblers who have borrow their watered stocks appeal to the gov ernmnent to relieve a stringeney in the money matket which is caused solely by their own greed. Sceretary Windom very properly says that less speculation and not more government assistance is the proper remedy, and that for one he will retuse to lend himself as a tool to further designs of the Wall street sharks. The people are beginning to learn more and more of Mr. Windom’s clear head, sound judgment and fearless expression of sentiment, and he will win no less commendation for his manly utter- ances on stock gambling than he did for his outspoken opinion on the dan- gers threatening the country from monopoly aggression. THEYORKTOWN CENTENNIAL The coming celebration at York- town celebration promises to be in many respects the most interesting of all the revolutionary centennials of which it is the last. An elaborate programme had been prepared by the committee in charge, covering two weeks 1n its details and lasting from the 6th to the 21st inst. Fortunately such a white elephant is not to be on the hands of those who have the af- fair to carry out, and interest will center on the four days of festivity arranged by the congressional commis ion. This includes the laying of the corner stone of a national monument on Tuesday, the 18th instant. The Masonic order will conduct the exercises and fully six thousand Masons are expected to be in line. On the 19th, Mr. Win- throp's oration, Mr. Hayne's ode and Mr. Hope's psalm will be the features, preceded by President Arthur's ad- dress. On the 20:h there will be a grand review of troops on Temple farm, in the rear of the line of the first parallol of 1781, Major General Hancock commanding, and on the 21st a naval review at Hampton Roads, in which the French fleet will partici- pate. France, in that spirit of fraternal and international courtesy which has always marked her intercourse with our government has sent a number of representatives to be present at the historic spot which marked the close of the great rebellion of 1776. De- scendents and representatives of the French soldiers who fought at York- town will also be present and the French fleet will give to the occasion an international interest. Americans are apt to forget the im- portance of the assistance rendered to the colonists by the French govern- ment. Lafayette, with 2,000 men, arrived in America in May 1781. He was followed in Junc by Admiral Destouche with the French fleet. Early in the summer the British fleet wero ingloriously beaten by the French in Chesapeake bay and driven north leaving Cornwallis in the Caro- linas. Baron Steuben’s Virginia militia and General Lafayette’s com- mand forced him northward in Vir- ginia, when General Washington con- coived tho ides of penning him up in the Yorktown peninsulaand capturing the whole British army south of the Chesapeake. The subsequent opera- tions in which the French and Americans bore off equal hon- ors were successful, and on October 18th, 1781, Cornwallis surrendered General Washington never failed to pay the highest tribute to the gallant co-operation of his French allies. Without their aid the capture of Corn- wallis, and the termination of the war would have been impossible. At this time, then, when the campaign at Yorktown will be reviewed by so many of our people, the cordial feelings which have so long existed botween the United States und France are likely to be strengthened. It will not be forgotten that the brave French volunteers who fought on our soil were neither adventurers or hirelings, Thoy lont their arms to a feeble cause from a love of liberty which they could not exorcise in their country, but which was none the less inspiring because in abstraction. They assisted te win a triumph in which they could 1ot be sharers, and at the conclusion of the war returned to their homes to be thomselves the apostles of a creed f which swept France like & whirlwind, The French revolution, which was the legitimata outgrowth of the American war of independeice, was in turn the fororunner of the happy and prosperous French republic of to- day. Of all the great nations of the world, the United Btates and Frauce alone posses a republican form of government, They have ever been and will doubtless always remain frienas, but it is especially fitting on LY BEE: an a'niversary like that which will be celebrated next week that the two nations should be drawn even closcr together in mutual regard and mutual congratulation, — AN editorial in the New North West throws a sido litht on the hith- erto mysterious operations of tfe Utah & Northern and Northern Pa cific companies in Montana. The | amount of railroad built thir year in Montana has been very small, less than seventy miles. The Utah & Northern, which is owded by the Northern Pacific, was empowered by its charter to build to and through the territories of Utah, Idaho and Mon- tana ‘““to a connection with the North- ern Pacific.” Now the Northern Pacific in 1872 located their line through the Deer Pass route, and when the Utah & Northern had reach- ed Brown’s Ridge it touched the located lino of the Northern Pacific and 8o has no further right of way. From that point on it was building on sufferance, or by agreement with the land owners, of the projected line. This accounts for the delay of the Utah & Northern in pushing its line towards Butte, and also for the pro- crastination of the Northern Pacific in abandoning its located line for the Mullan Pass route, which seems to have been decided upon some months ago by the engincers of the company. Both companies wished to reach Butte with their roads, but both have been playing a game of stand’ off to the other. Now the Utah & Northern has organ- ized a new company under the terri- torial laws and has secured the right of way for a number of lines to con- nect with or to be emerged in the Utah & Northern. The Northern Pacific has also organized a company called the Rocky Mountain railroad company, and covering branches from points on the main line to Benton and the National Park. Tak superintendent of the Free Delivery service in the postoffice de- partment has completed his report for delivery to congress. It covers the operations of 109 free delivery post- oftices, and will show that during the year there were delivered 262,425,608 mail letters, 59,968,669 mail postal cards, 2,126,309 registered letters and 136,417,114 nowspapers. There was collected at these 109 free delivery offices during the year 284,759,945 letters, 85,793,126 postal cards and 34,075,47g newspapers. The cost of the service for the year amounted to $2,492,972.14, or 3 mills apiece. Five new delivery offices were estab- blished duding the year at the follow- ing points: Leadville, Col.; Mans- field, Ohio; Meriden, Conn.; Zanes- ville, Ohio; and Richmond, Ind The free delivery system pays the govern- ment handsomely. and is always fol- lowed by an increase in the use of the mails, Its efficiency has been greatly heightened in many cities since Post- master-General James' incumbency in oftice. Coxnaress muat be given credit for relieving the country of one monopoly by legislation. In September, 1878, quinine sold stiffly for $3.90 an ounce. The duty at that time was twenty per cent, and the quinine monopolists pre- dicted thatif the duty was removed not only would the American quinine in- dustry be swept away but quinine would actually be dearer than when protected by an indirect tax on the people. The duty was removed in June, 1879, and the price of the drug has steadily declined until the prevail- ing price for American quinine is $2 per ounce and the best foreign can be bought for $1.80 to $1.85. Wk are glad that Howgate has come back from that little private polar expedition. He would have carried bad customs to the innocent barbarians of the Arctic regions, and he can do the world a great deal of good by letting us know how it is thas hundreds of thousands of dollars can be filched from the treasury and our republican watch-dogs never give a singlo warning bark.—St. Louis Re- publican, This is particularly good as coming from a democratic source, Howgate is o democrat of the rankest growth. 1f his defalcation has any political sig- nificance it indicates the folly of plac- ing democrats in positions of trust under the government. AL this talk about the democratic county ticket being objectionable to our citizens on account of the pre- dominance of Irish candidates on it is the sheerest bosh and is not con- sidered for a moment by any respect- able republican. The tickets will be compared man for man only in the light of the reputation of each candi- date for honesty and sobriety and his capacity to fill the oftice for which he soeks the suffrage of Douglas county voters. Nationality or crced should have no influence in making a selec- tion of office-holders. All that our citizens will insist on is that the men of their choice shall bo capable and honest.

New York Tines, Whatever the fato of Mr, Kirkwood as the head of the interior department, he can point with satisfaction to the brief record of a straightforward, common sense and successful adminis tration of the most important branch of the business committed to his charge. HOW MONEY IS MADE New York Letter in Buffalo A man I have known for years, and formerly worth perhaps half a million was in 1876 practically dead broke, His wit, however, had not deserted him, Being elected subsequently a director of one of our elevated rail- ways as a sort of make-weight, he first conjured the scheme of a new company to lease the others and run the whole business in one consolidation, the new company (called the Manhattan) to guarantee everything and issue practically an unlimited amount ot stock, which had about as much substance as a church fair oyster stew—-all water and no oysters. The public swallowed the bait, millions of stock were shoved out till the price was on the point of breaking, when my ingenious friend lightly skipped out with between two and one-half and three million dollars clear profiv, and the old companies are about taking repossession of their roads. The lambs, as usual, are bleat- ing. IN RAILROADS. Saline County. To the Editor of Tus Bxx. The Union in its last issue contains the following: “‘By what species of political leger- demain or idiotic nonsense daes Roso- water run his paper? The Omaha Bek, in English, favors the re-nomination of Judge Maxwell. The Pokrok Zapa- du, in Bohemian, advises its readers 1n Saline county to defeat the Dawes delegation, because it says ‘‘Dawes and his friends are supporting Max~ well, and he (Maxwell) is a temper- ance man, having proven himself one by his deocision on the constitutionality of the Slocumb law. If tho Pokrok Zapadu persists in raging an unmanly warfare against the republicau party of Saline county, it is F\igh time that this fact is known. How would a stalwart republican Bohemian paper, with Cenck Duras as editor, strike the average Bohemian citizen of Sa- line and adjacent counties?”’ The whole article seems to be a re- sult of misinformation of the Union. In the first place the Union needs in- formation that Rosewater has as little to say about the management and contents of the Pokrok Zapadu as he has of the Union. Equally misinformed is The Union on the Maxwe!l matter. The Pokrok Zapadu did advise its readers, nut alone in Saline county, but through- out Nebraska, who are known one and] all to be anti-temperance in their sentiments to vote against Maxwell or any other temper- anco delegates, not beecause Maxwell has ‘‘proven himself one by his deci- sion on the constitutionality of the Slocumb law,” but because he is known to be one of the fanatics. The fact that The Pokrok Zapadu is not friendly to Mr. Dawes, because it does not consider him a man of honor or principle, is not new, and has been Knuwn for years,—at least to The Union and interested parties. But 1t does not follow from this fact, that The Pokrok Zapadu, thereby is waging warfara on the re- ‘| publican party. The repub- lican party indeed would not be worthy of the support of hon- est men, if the Dawes’, Hascall's, et tutti quunti, were the true represen- tatives of the party, and because 1 do not consider them such, I do and shall not censeto wage warfare against them. ‘I'he Union seems to be in need of intormation, that The Pokrok Zapadu was for years the only republican paper published in the Bohemian lan- guage in the United States, and to the efforts of tho same it is due that a large majority of voters of that na- tionality in Nebraska are republicans, while in Towa, Minnesota, \Nilcunuin and other states nine-tenths of them became democrats, The Union writes in a vein asif I was in duty bound to support any nomi- nation, any slate, made by any hoss. P.ease keep cool, Mr. Wells, and bear in mind that I do not owe the repub- lican party one iota; that the Pokrok Zaprdu, whatever it has done, has doue it without fiar, consideration, favor or ob'igation, always on princi- ple, which is sayivg more than the Union can truthfully claim for itself; that while I will in the future con- tinue as I have in the past to preach the sound republican doctrines, Ishall certainly reserve to m{vlulf the right to criticize any action of any party and oppose any unprincipled rogue, bar- nacle or {uunl republican foisted u[.wn the party, or any man with whom I may not agree in principle, and it will not be your'’s nor any- body else's business. As to the silly threat, I will only #ay goon, This is & free country, and before all, let not any considera- tion of m{ interests stay in your way. I will only say, if My, Duras’ ‘Ppur will get such encouragement at he hands of the stalwarts of Saline county—or of the republican party of the state for that matter, as mine dil, —why, 1 hope it will thrive.

San Franciaco Chronicle, The American judicial system is modeled after that of England, but it has lost the sterling common sense and the disposition to sternly punish crime which obtains in that country. It may now be compared to the an- cient city of refuge in Judea, whither murderers fled to be secure from pur- suit and punishment. Criminals and corrupt corporations turn to it with confidence, and cover it with adulation, It strikes the fetters from the thief, liberates the murderer, and robs the hard-working poor man of his land to donate it to men so rich now that no one can accurately compute their wealth. It is no only a system which has survived its usefulness, but one that exercises on society a pernicious influence. Insti-- tuted for the purpose of protecting life and property, it has cheapened human life, and by the injustice and uncertainty of its decrees has imper- iled the rights of property. By ex- pense, delays, and countless annoy- ances, it gives to the rich man a de- cided advantage over the poorer liti- gant. It enables corporations, when human life has been destroyed by the carelessness of their agents, to evade their responsibilitief, or to intimidate widows and orphans who lay just claims for damages. It imprisons poor men for daring to assert tkeir rights against rich men. It pardons the murderer, swindler and thief, but refuses to pardon the good citizen unjustly convicted. It per- mits corporations to defy 1t with impunity, and to de- spise and evade its mandates. Its operation in all the states of the union is faulty in the extreme. The law that one court pronounces consti- tutional another declares unconstitu tional; the knave that ono judge solemnly sentences another judge turns loose; what is good law to-day is 10 law to-morrow; and the bigamist in one part of the country is the hus- band in another part. ~The deciding opinion of a part of a supreme court is contradicted flatly by the dissenting opinion of another part of the same court.

To denounce such a system;to exhi its tmperfections to the public gaze, and its acts of injustice to public scorn; to ridicule its absurdities and preten- sions, and to cease to shield 1t from general contempt has becomo a public daty no longer to ba evaded. o.@verthrow or completely remodel the present judicial system of the country would require pertinacious ef- fort and the aid of a powerful public opinion, but it is u task that should be attempted.
