Tus Neligh Republican quotes Tar Bz as stating that $75,080,000 were paid out last year for fraudulent pen- sions, Tus Ber made no such asser- tion. The pension offico at Washing- ton, however, states that to the best of their belief nearly that amount of money will be paid out for fraudulent claims before “the arrears of pensions iniquity is settled up. Tua city of Omaha is a law-abiding and quiet city, as much so as any city z¢ ia America, and no other city of like consequence is so well regulated ond with as small a police force as is Omaha, * * * * % * Tur Bek pitches into Omaha and the mayor of the city without regard to utility, decency or truth, There is no utility in a public journal assert- ing that the city is in the hands of drunken bullies and thugs.—Omaha Ropublican, Dee. 20th. Two assassinations within less than sevon weeks in this quiet, law-abiding city. One of these bloody murders cemmitted by drunken bullies within a block and a half of police headquart- ers on Christmss morning in this well rogulated city. Shall we apologize? Is there no utility, decency or truth ina public journal to call a halt to this carnival of crime? THE LESSON OF THE HOUR. There was a hush of expectation hanging about the city hall last even- ing at the hour of roll call for the po- lice, and something ominous in the gathering of officials that might have signitied a projected ‘‘raid” or a coun- «il over a myaterious crime. The silence was broken when Judge Beneke rose from his seat and invited Mayor . Boyd to take it, which the mayor did with a pleasant romark about occupying the bench for the first time. The judge then presented to the mayor, in bohalf of the police depart. ment, a magnificent inlaid gold Ma- sonic emblem. PR T S e P Mayor Boyd responded. * * * Then the mayor bestowed his particular attention upon City Marshal Angell, handing, him o pair of valuable sleeve-buttons, marked ““A,” and tho counterpart of the judge's, with these words: “I have yet auother pleasant duty to perform—to present our worthy, efficient and goutlemanly marshal with this token of the good willand high appreciation in which he is held by the m-mbers of the department of which beis the official head; and it is with much pleasure that Iadd my testi- anony to his ability fus well as his pru- dent management of the city aflairs, Talso wish to add that I am woll ploased with the manner in which the police force has done its work during the past nine months, and can only add that I trust thoy muy continuo to “do right and fear not.' The mayor's speeches were listened to with the closest attention und being more than formal remarks were re- f:‘r.dod a8 convoying a signifi ficant not than deserved approval of the -<course pursued by the police depart- wment. —Sunday Morning Herald. This mutual exchange of the sea- son's compliments took place at police Jheadquarters early Saturnay mght. At 3 o'clock Bunday morning Oscar Hamwer wasgmurderod 1 s saloon by & drunken rowdy, within less than two blocks from police headquarters. Mayor Boyd's more than forrial re- marks in approval of the cousre of the police department weré very sig- nificant, but the bloody tragedy that happened under the o)'r of the police is more significant. “Phe mayor's more than formal remarks conveyed to the police the assurance that lie was su- premely satisfied with the worthy and officient marshal aud the conduct of the force under him. Theso compliments were very naturally regarded as a significant re- buke to parties that huve found fault with our police, and especially to this paper. The murder of Oscar Hammer af fords to the citizens of Omaha and the people of this state the absolute proof of the reckless disregard of law and the inefficiency of the police in Omaha, It proves what everybody in Omaha hAs known for many months, that our gentlemanly mnar shal is utterly incompetent, and the force under him very badly demoralized, . In no other ci y or village in this state would the police allow saloms o remain open until three o'clock in the m morning ning, aud especially Sunday Had the marshal and lice done their duty there is 1 doubt that Oscar Hammer would to day be alive, and the young men im le plicated in his murder would have been spared the humiliation and peaalities of their bloody brawl. of facts Mayor Boyd must bs held large! For this deplorable state Ho ought to know enough Ly this that M. Angell is by nature and want of ex- sponsible. to know time pertence untitted for tne position of Mr. Augell is a gen- tleman, but he lacks firmness, energy chiief of police. and exocutive abilitys With the very best intentions such a man cannot maintain diseipline and render ef- ficient service at the head of the police department. In the light of this late wmurder Mayor Boyd should seo that his path of duty is the enforcement of law and order, the closing up of disorderly houses, and breaking up of low dives. Before thisscan be done effectively, the police force should be reorganized by placing a man at its head who has the courage to go wherever duty calls him, the firmness to enforce dis- cipline among his subordinates, and the will to exact obedience to law from all classes, Whether Mayor Boyd acts upon our suggestion or remains indifferent to the lesson of the hour, the citizens of Omaha who value society, life and property, must tako decisive steps for mutual protection, They must coun- sel together and join hands in an ef- fort to rid this city of its dangerous element. The preliminary steps should be taken without delay. THE PROOF WANTED. Mayor Boyd is reported as saying that the hicensing board will be com- pelled under the law. to grant license toall applicants unless the proof is produced that they are unfit to sell liquors, And what proof will satisfy this scrupulous license committee? Do they expect overy man whp has been thumped and robbed in Twelfth street dives to appear before thenr and pro- tost againat the issuing of license to the keepers of the robbers roosts and dens which disgraco the Third ward? Will they require a record of the drinks sold to minors, of the indecent exhibitions put upon the boards, of the rows and riots which have been suppressed by the police? What proof will satisfy the con- scionces of Mayor Boyd and his asso- ciates? Will the records of the police court, which shows the disorderly character of the dens of the Third ward, meet the requiremonts of these gentlemen? Or will they need a score of affidavits sworn to by individual citizens, whose sense of decency has been shocked and whose ears have been offended by the horrible orgies which have disgraced certain portions of our city? Perhaps if the mayor would make a tour of inspection he might recover a few things of which he is now so blissfully ignorant. The ecity mar- shal aud his deputy might be pumped to some advantage. Judge Boneke could possibly sup- ply a littlo information by the assist- ance of his docket, which would throw some light on the number of pocket which have been picked, and men robbed and beaton in the slums of this city. If the proof is wanted it will doubtless be forthcoming in suflicient quantity, Let the mayor in the meantime perform his duty by forroting it out, —_— CoNG1kss reconvenes on the fifth of January, and the actual business of the session may then be said to begin. Up to the present time littlo but the introduction of bills has been accomplished. There wore soventeen calendar days from the meeting of congress on Decomber 3 to its adjourn- ment on the 21st for the holiday re- coss. There were sessions of the house of representativos on seven, and of the sonate on twelve of these days. The sessions of the houso averaged four hours and fifteon minutes, and ot the senate throe hours and five min- utes. Yot in these few hours devoted to the business of legislation, there were presented for the consideration of Congress 2,137 bills andwixty-fAive joint resolutions in the house, and six hundred and eighty- five bills aud forty-six joind resolu- tions in the senate, aggregating two thousand nine hundred and thirty- three distinet propositions for con- gressional action, besides over one thousand memorials presented and ro- ferred to committees, und all of which are entitled to respectful consideration, The Forty sixth congress sat frcm March 18th to July lst and from De- | | I'AE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MON smbor 18t to Decem a period one hundred twonty-five calendar days and the measures introduced during that time, which was six times as long as the sitting just past was only one thousand two hundred and forty-four, or thirty por cent morce than in {th soventeen days of the month.
