QHARA PUBLISHING CO., Prop'rs £.ROSEWATER, Editor, £dwin Davis, Manager of City Otronlation: OUR LUCAL TRAGEDY. The eity is slowly recovering from the shock of the dreadful tragedy of Satueday last, No event in Omaha within our recollection has so greatly moved avery oloment in our commu- nity. The high social and moral standing of the cold blooded atrocity of lis taking off, and the pitiful consequences of a wid- owed wife in ill health and five or- phaned childron—nll have added to increase the horrors of the bloody deod, Asido from tho feeling of per- wonal bercavement which fs experi enced by the friends of tho deceased, and the indignation felt by every 1 vietim, the loving resident of Omaha at the tardly crime which has robbed her of ono of hor manliest and most foarless citizons, the assassination of Watson B. Smith is a menace to every man or woman in Omaha who may arouse porsonal hatred or awaken feelings of rovengo in the breasts of lawless and desperate men. Such a {ragedy is H.

Whennssas- sination lurks in the midnight air hon- st men may well tromble. Whon the murderer's blow falls upon such a man what citizen of Omaha is safe from its assaulta ? Tho one thing that now remsins to bo done after burying the dead is to leave no means untried to un- earth his cowardly murderer. This is tho mentiment of our cily, and because it is the sentiment wo belicve that the eriminal will be unable to escape from the toils which an aroused community haa set for his onsnarement. The crowded mass meeting on Saturday, the liberal con- tributions from our most prominent citizens and the eagerness displayed on every hand to assist in the soarch for the murderer givo overy hope that assassination cannot go unpunishep in this city. Meantime let our citizens Iay aside all projudice all passion. Let all unite, regardless of differ- ences of opinion, in hurting down the assassiu, This is no time for unsub- stantial charges against individuals or organizations in whoso discussion at- tontion will be turned aside from the one great subject which should fill overy mind. Tf thero are accomplices they will bo brought to justice, if the deod was tho result of a conspiracy lot it bo proved. But until such aseer- tions aro clearly proven no one has tho logal or moral right to give them utteranco, all the more so because by such expression passion is arousod which will hinder a cordial union of public effort. Thousands of Jonx Baumer is the candidate of the republican party for county clerk, and will receive his party’s support be- causo he is the best candidate for the position in the field. —_— Tus anticipations of heavy failures following the Newark bank defalca- tion have not been realized. Nothing bettor indicates the healthy financial oondition of the country. E———— Jupar CHADWICK is no temperance fanatic, but he has wisely refused to mako his canvass on an snti-Slocumb law basis. Mr. O'Connor will dis cover that this sort of a campaign ‘wont win. New York is rolieved from her fears of a water famine. During tho past week copious rains have swollen the Oroton river and the water in the storage reservoirs has risen ten inches. This will be a great relief to New York milkmon, —_—— Evrry voter in Douglas county is interested in tho maintenance of our oyes aro now eagerly following every trace; thousands of cars are open to hear tho faintest murmur which may give a cluo to lurking guilt. Liberal rowards have stimulated lagging oner- gy. Unwisecounsels and misdirected suspicion may block the wheols of progross in the search. Tnx Bek ap- poals to every good citizon of Omaha not to intensify the present excited feeling in our community. There is need of cool and dispassionate judg- ment, of earnest and sustained work, and of a united sentiment, which will support overy effort, from whatever source, to blot out the bloody stain which haa cast disgrace upon our city. Tur New York political campaign has been marked by energetic work by both parties. One of the most en- couraging features in the canvass has been the work of the independent ele- ment, composed largely of intelligent and educated young business men, who have thrown their influence in the scale for the bost candidates. The sulking of womo of the discom- present efficiont system of country achools, and that is the reason why Professor Points will bo re-clected to the county superintendency by ahand- some majority. Mg, Timme's olaim for the county fited stalwart chiets has received no encouragement from President Ar- thur, who has given as strong intima- tions as possible to his former frionds that any falling off in the usual republican majority will be far from grateful to the commissionership rests on the fact that ho is a democrat and was once a membor of the Cook county (IlL) board of commissioners. Neither of these grounds is suflicient to draw to him the support of republicans, Joux Jacons has been coroner for the last two years and has fulfilled the duties of that office to the satisfaction of Douglas county. Doc Conkling shou)d stick to his greenback theorier, blue pills, bills and prescriptions and leave the duties of the coroner- ship to others and more experienc hands, Tr Becretary Blaine retires from the cabinet on January 1st, as he thinks probable, he will have completed a .continuous term of public service ex- tending over twenty-two years. As congressman, senator and cabinet offi- cer James G. Blaine has played well his part, and the gencral verdiot is “‘well done, good and faithful ser- vant."” Tu silver certificate experiment of Secretary Sherman has proved a great success, By this means the $2,000,000 of money coined monthly by the gov- ernment has been kept in active circu- lation, while the silver dollars have ‘been stored in the treasury as a guar- antee of the certificates which repre- sented their value. At the present time less than $240,000 of our mlver ooinage is ont ef general circulation. chief executive. Indications point to FHENMOMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY NOVEMBER 7, 1881 while eight of the fifteon democrats immediately succeeded republicans, demooratic boasts concerning the New York legislature will seem as absurd as they are unfounded. The local ¢ ntest in New York cityis being pushed with a great deal of en- ergy, and the effortsof the republicans are being principally directed towards ensuring the defeat of the least desir able candidates. The smoothered warfare John Kelly and the kid-glove democracy will result in a diminished democratic vote, and it is hoped that severaloffices can be filled with sound republicans. The hoavy majorities which the democ- racy have been rolling up for years past in tho city make any general ro- publican victory impossible. Still sub stantial gains are expected in to-mor row’s contest, democratic between Erecrions will be held next Tues day in twelve states, Including Massa- chusctts, Connecticut elects half its atate senate; New York votes for sce- rotary of atate and treasurer, judge of the court of appeals, ete., and eclects o legislatu n the bth, 11th, 22d and 27th districts congressmen will also be chosen to fill vacancies; New Jersey olects its houso of representatives and a part of the senate; Pennsylyania olects o stato treasurer and county officers; in Wisconsin and Virginia state officers will be chosen, with members of the lower houses of the legislatures and a part of the senators; Minnesota votes for state officers and a full legislature, with two judges; Oolorade elects judges and county officors; Nebraska clects a judge of the supreme court and regents of the university; Maryland votes for state controller and a part of the legislature, and] Mississippi elects a full legislature, with stato officers. Wisconsin also votes on a constitutional amendment providing for biennal elections; Min- nesota will act upon constitutional provisions respectiug taxation, pro- hibiting special legislation and fixing the pay of legislators. Colorado is also to determine the location of its capital by popular vote. m—— Dovaras county is to decide through to-morrow’s election whether her new court house is to be built of fire proof materinls nad finished according to the excellent plan first adopted by the county commissioners. The proposi- tion to complete the building on the original Meyer's plan should bo car- ried without a dissenting vote. The people are not asked to sanction the issue of any new bonds. They are only required to authorize the county commissioners to expend upon the building such surplus from the general fund as remains unexpended from time to time until the necessary funds are obtained. Our county jail was built from surplus monies in the county treasury with- out the levying of an additional tax upon the people of the county. Our new court house can also be completed asn durable, fire proof and substan- tial building without any additional burden upon the taxpayers of this county. Every voter in Omaha to- morrow should cast his ballot for the oroction of a court house which will assure the safety of our county records and which will in addition be a source of pride to the city as monument of elegant and substantial architectnre. — something to run a really city. The Now York city board of estimate and apportion- mato has completed its estimate of city expenses for 1882 and places them at $29,212,623; As the city has a revenue independent of taxation amounting to $1,700,000, the amount to beraised from the latter sourco is $27,612,628. Over one-third of the expensos of Now York consist of fixed charges in tho state tax and interest on the city debt, so that the reduction made by the board is about 11 per cent. on the exponditures within their reach and talls principally on the Ir costs first class the election of the republican state ticket by from 15,000 to 20,000 ma- jority. The demecratic press is boast- ing loudly of a probable majority of the legislature. The claim is not based on any reliable grounds. The present senate of New York is com- posed of twenty-five republicans and eight domocrats. In each of the nineteen districts the republican ma- jority was over 2,000 in excess of the entire demoocratio vote. 1t will be seen that the chances of a democratic majority in this branch of tho legisla- ture are exceedingly small. In the assombly the present ‘republican ma- jority is thirty-four, The democrats, therefore, to secure control of the lower house of the New York logisla- ture must make & net gain of eigh- teer, In but nineteen districts car- ried by the republicans in 1880 the plurality of the successful can- didate fell below five hundred, while at the sameo election fifteen democrats obtained their seats by a margin equally small. The democrats wust then carry all but one of the ninoteen of the close districts now represented by republicans, and lose none of the fifteen in which their own candidates narrowly escaped defeat, if the next legislature of New York is to democratic. When it is remembered that but four of the ninoteen debata- ble districts represented by republi- cans were democratic the year before, police, parks and board of education, which furnish two-thirds of tho en- trenchment, The budget of New York city is, with ono exception, Paris, the largest in the world, and there are eighteenindependentnations with whom the United .States has diplomatic relations which spend less yearly. ———— Tugk debt paying party in Minnesota are happy over the passage of the bill by the legislature to adjust the old bonded railroad debt, which has so long been the basa of a charge of re- pudiation against the state. Accord- mg to the compromise with the credi- tors the entire debt is to be settled at fifty cents on the dollar, principal and intorost. New bonds are to be issued, bearing interest at a rate not oxceeding five per cent. At the elec- tion to-morrow the peoplo of the state vote on & proposition setting aside the proceeds of public lands to estab- lish a sinking fund for the payment of the bonds issued. —— Ninery-rakee millions reduction in the national debt has taken place sinde the boginning of President Gar- field’s administration. time to think about reducing taxation, Ir the Second ward fails of its us- ual republican majority the party in Omaha can lay the failure at the door of Isaac 8, Hascall, It is about | i Wirnt track laging, bursting water plpes, gas trenches and piles of brick on every block, Farnam street is the poorest apology for & thoroughfare of any street in the city.
