Susax B. ANtrHoNY swears she will join the democratic party. Mr. Til- den's chances for an mereased vote in 1884 are picking up. GrorGe W. Cuinps has a collection of clocks valued at 30,000, is a newspaper man, and evidently knows the value of time.

Oart Scuunz's Northern Pacific land grant decision may enable Gener- al Grant to solve the unsolved conuh- drum as to how he got that $400,000 with which he bought the newspaper founded by William Cullen Bryaut.— Omaha Herald. The periodical assaults upon the Northern Pacific land grant have with- out exception come from sources which are be no means above suspicion. In several instances they have notorious- ly been organized be stock jobbing cliques of rival = railroads whose object has been to depress Northorn Pacific s tock for the purpose of as- sisting several meat little schemes for lining * the pockets of capitalists and swindling the fatock- holders of that corporation. This is doubtless the intention at the present time and the opportunity hus been seized upon by Mr. Cyrar W, Field to open hie batteries of mud on Carl Schurz, of the Eveming Post, on ae- *count of his attack on Gould, Field and Sage for their Manhattan railway robbery The New York Times very /promptly makes the following state ment, which will settle the question to the satisfaction of every impartial aod honest mind: The implied attack on Mr. Schurz for his rulings as secretary of the in- terior in tavor of the road are clearly shown to be baseless. Two questions were submitted to Mr. Schurz: 1, Had the grant to the company lapsod by reason of the company's failure to perform certain acts within the time ified? - 2, Tf it has so lapsed, ctn the department ize any acte by lookil the initiation of nl' :glu or l:f'fi largement of old ones!

Hawes, BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. Among the proposed amendments to the city charter recommended by the board of trade committee i3 the creation of a board of public works. This board is to consist of three mem- bers, appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the council for a term of three years, The board ot public works shall have full charge of the paving of streets, sewers, and other new works, when construction of the prosccution of the work shall be rmined on by the city conncil, and the board shall let all t for such work subject to the approval contracts of the council. his proposition strikes us as pre- mature for Omaha, To create such a board would involve a needloes in- crease of taxes or what is more to be abrace of jobbers in charge of our public works. To be eflicient the A of public works must be made up of first class busi- | dreaded, put boa ness men whose time would have to be devoted wholly to the city. | Such men would not serve on the | board for mere glory. They could not | be had for less than £2,000 to £2,500 doubt whether any to conduct an exten- a year, and we man competent enterg the purchase of labor, involving half a million a y sive busi ise that requires terials and hire of would give up his business to accept such a position for $2,500 a year, We are told that one member of the committeo that recommends the crea- tion of a board of public works, Mr. James Creighton, charged $10,000 a year for his time as superintendent «f construction of Creighton college, Tt 18 safe, therefore, to assume that the board of public works, with their ne- cessary clerk hire and incidentals, would involve an additional outlay of £8,000 to $10,00C a year. 1If, on the other hand, the board is t5 be com- posed of men who are out of employ- ment and willing to serve for a more pittance, we will not ouly have in- competent and inefficient mana, ment of public works, but are liable to be plundered by a brace of jobbs With the pre sessments an addition of § $10,000 a year fora board of works will scriously cripple nt system of low 1 ,000 to public ur city must be borne in ve added £20,000 a w for fire hydrants to our ¢ government.

The notoriety gained on that occasion did not have much effeet in turning the tide of immigration from the Atlantic sca-board to Ne- braska. It is the custom in congress to vote contingent expenses to every contestant for aseat. If the judiciary committee of the house reperted in favor of admitting a contingent con- gressman from Nebraska, why did they never vote him the money to pay his contingent expenses. It is safe to say that no such bill will pass the committec of the senate, of which Edmunds is chairman, and Bayard, Davis, Ingalls and McMillan are members, Pat. O. Hawes has more grounds to claim back pay for services as con- tingent congressman than Tom Majors. On what does Mr. Majors base his claim for these $10,000 for 1879-80, and $5,000 for 1880-817 For these years he has certainly ren- dered no services, and, although Ne- braska would have only a small part of these 15,000 to pay, she ought not to place herself onrecord as favor- ingany such steal as that hidden un- der Valentine's bill, The whole matter is o farce. These is no reason to believe that congresy will pay the slightest attention to the proposition. In 1872, if congross could have been induced to believe that the consus of 1870 wasall wrong, which it was not, there mn ight have beon some advantage to the state in pushing the claim for the eight yonrs which at that time still intervened before the next apportionment. But doesany one’claim that the Nebraska census of 1880 was not correct! Un- dor that ¢ensus Nebraska will elect hor full quota of congressmen next fall. Nebraska has ne excuse for taking up the time of congress, which is worth §1,000 an hour, with claims which cannot be granted without vio- lating the plain [provisions of the national comstitution, In failing to secure adequate reprosentation dur. ing the past ight years she has only shared the lot of a number of other states whose rapid growth and devel- opment more than kept pace with the composition of the congress, lower house of — Omana has suffered long enough from the U, P. bridge embargo and she cannot aflord to allow the Union Pacific to mononolize the entire viver front and all the strects and alleys that can be made accessible to rail- roads.

But even if the city treasury was overflowing eral thousand dollars a year. with monoey there would be no use for a board of public works, such as 1s proposed by the committee. In the large cities where boards of public works exist, tkeir most important duty is the management of water works, which includes supervision of the works, extensions, repairs and enlargements, as well as the collection In Omaha, where the water worksarethe property of aprivate corporation no such duties will be im- posed on the board. Their functions will therefore be restricted to super- vision of the construction of sewers and laying of pavements., The city council must tirst designate to them the streots to be paved and the sewers to be constructed, and the board, after advertrsing propoeals for such work must submit the bids to the conncil for their final approval. It is only after the contract is let that the board exercise independent and very dan gerous authority —namely tho accept- ance of pa of water rents. ements and sewers after they are comploted. Now why couldn’t the council advertise for bids as woll as the board and let the work after the bids without the needless intervention of the board? And would not the eity bo fully as woll protected by holding the city engineer rosponsi- ble for the acceptance of works of public improvemont instead of con- ferring this. power on a board that may not be competont to judge of the are opened quality of material and work If the advocates of a board of public works fear that couneilmen may be corruptly influonced, lot them make an organized effort to put busi- ness men into the council above a bribe or corrupt job. who are In New York, Brooklyn, Philadel- phia and other large citios where boards of public works are indispensi ble, tho tax payers have been plua- dored out of wmillions, divided be- tween the boards and paving rings and sewer rings.
