Just As soon as the people learn railroad property is taxable just as much as that belonging to private i dividuals the state will cease payiug taxes for the railrouds. Tie longer Omaha discusses the matter the more thoroughly convinced will her people become that no pave- ment but granite block will thoroughly meet the requirements of the business thoroughfares of the city. s AXND now the German government volunteers to renow the effort to es- tablish the double standard in Europe and we shall not be surprised if silver again resumes rank side by side with gold as one of the money metals of the world, A sivavrar method of making a will has been pronounced valid by the wupreme ocourt of Maine. After a jury trial it decided that the will of Horatio N. Foster, a deaf mute 76 years old, who could neither read, write nor use tho manual alphabet, wust stand. The instructions for the will were given by pantomine,and the property devised was worth §7,- 000. Where there's a will thero's o way —-to make it known, Tr 18 explained in the claim of Thomas J. Majors to a seat in con- gross as contingent congressman from Nebraska is not, as previously stated, based on the increase of Nebraska's lation since the census of 1870, upon the alleged error in that census whereby Nebraska's popula- tion was set down at 60,000 less than it actually was, and the state was in consequence cheated out of one con- gressman, - -Chicago Tribune, There is no proof that the census ot 1870 did not correctly state Nebraska's population at the time it was taken, The history of all census taking proves that any incorrectness usually lies in ovagstating rather than in un- deatating the number of names cn the list. But even if there was an erior in the census of '70, Mr. Tow M jors has done no service which entitleshim to the $15,000 back pay which Valen- e is now endeavoring to engineer through congres.

Meanwhile, it is impera- tive that the editor should have a great capital to meet the large outlay which will be required during its early history, even if its final triumph is assured, aud no less imperative that he should possess the shrewdest judgment in the expendi- ture of this money, avoiding alike pamsimonious economy aud reckless extravagance; The moral of Mr. Ha. zelton's fuilure with the Baltimore ‘Pimes hardly needs to be drawn.

Tt will be time enough to talk about the merits and claims of granite, asphalt and macadam after we have the ne- cessary means for paving. The problem that confronts us 1 ew is what legislation is needed to ci. ble Omaha to pave her streets without de- lay. The board of trade com- mittee recommend, First, the creation of a board of public workato supervise and control sewerage, paving and other public improvoments. Second, that authority be granted by amend- ment to the charter for issuing pave- ment bonds to the extent of one-third of the cost of pavements, the remain ing two-thirds to be assessed against the abutting lots. Tre Bee does not favor the first proposition for reasons already given, and we are propared to advance further reasons if any are needed. As to the proposition to authorize the issue of pavement bonds we endorse the recommendations of the commit- tee, except that inatead ot paying one- third of the cost of paving with honds we should favor the payment of two- thirds with bonds, and one-third as- sessod against abutting property payablo in three yearly nstallments. Our reasons for favoring the issuo of bonds for two-thirds of the cost of paving are briefly these: Paving even of the least dnrable material will involve an outlay of from $150 to 8300 for every lot of twonty-two feet, or from $450 to 8900 for a full lot of sixty-six feot. It we ussess the owners of these lots for two-thirds of the cost, they will have to pay from 8100 to 200 for twenty-two foet to 8600 for a full lot. Such a tax might be born by property owners on Farnham, Douglas, Harnoy and Dodge strects, but could not be collected clsowhere, especially on streets morth and south, without almost bankrupting the lot owners, The outcome would be cheap and worthlcss pavements laid down only in a few of business streots, while the greater part of the city would have to go without pavement for many yenrs. On the other haund, if the owners of lots were only roquired to pay ono-third of the cost of paving, and that in several yearly installments, we should secure pavements of durable materlal, and include a greater part of the ity in the paved district. There is this further advantage of issuing bonds for two-thirds of the cost of paving, that all classes of prop- orty—porsonal as well as real, helpto pay for our pavements. This will in the end be a great saving to ownersof real estate who otherwise would have to bear the entire burden, while own ors of personal property,secure almost equal benefits, Those who think we cannot carry a bond for two thirds of the cost labor under a delusion, The owners of business lots are comparatively few and if the owners of outside property are to be taxed for paving any part of ths business streets they would prefor in return that the business property which is of 80 much greater valve should contribute liberally toward im- proving the property situated out- side of the business centre, We shall have no trouble whatever in convinc- ing the workingmen who own modest homes in the residence portion of the city that they can afford to vote the two-thirds bonds in consideration that the heavy property owners and men of means who own no real estate willin turn help to pay two thirds of the cost of paving the outside strects, Ounthe contrary, if the mea of mod- orate meuns who own Lomes in this city were of the opinion that they [ nover will be able to pay the cost of paving streets on which tieir homes are loeated, under the rocommenda- tions advanced by the paving conanit- tee, a proposition for a Lond to pay one-third of the would not carry. THE DANGER OF THE HOUR. A fow days ago the president of one of the New York railroad monopolios openly boasted that his company “‘had the legislature on its side and the oourts.on it'sside and paid for it's law by the year," The boast is a startling one and may well awaken comment and alarm throughout the conntry pavin, which intimately affects the whole country is the alleged proffer by Jay Gould of one of the most important federal offices to an employe of a rival road as the price of a breach of trust and the purchase of ofticial informa- tion. For the past three years the great railroad wrecker has been endeavor ing to gain possession of the Denyer & Rio Grande railvoad. Tn 1879 he tried to seoure & controlling interest in the stock during the fight which that corporation was then waging with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. ones, for that matter--who think they can put a uewspaper on a paying buii i}llis@ of u week. 004 Failing in this, he resorted to his usual tactics, and in November, 1880, just before the annual meeting, he made a heavy attack on the stock in order to break down the price and The scheme again Since that time force its sale. proved unsuccessful. ovory offort has been made by Gould to destroy confidence in the stock of the road and to ruin its management. Rumors were indus- triously circulated that the reported earnings of the road were laagely for carrying materials for extensions, that Leadville was played out, that there had been an over-issue of honds, and that Colorado mines generally were exhausted. When these charges were met Gould played his last card in a desperate game which was the pur- chase of the ex-auditor of tho road with whom he opened negotiations for the securing a statemens of irregulari ties of accounts in the Rio Grande. In reply to a telegram from Ex-Audi- tor Richardson asking what induce- ments would be offered. Gould sent the following telegram : New Yorx, December 13, 1881, To 1. 8. Richardson, Denver. Your confidential letter received. There is vacancy in audifor of accounts, Washington. Had you not better come here! J. Mr. Richardson telegraphed back to Jay Gould the question “Ts the telegram signed *J' from you [ The following reply came back also through the railroad telegraph office, and was iven to Mr. Thornell, who gave it to is partner, Mr. Richardson: New York, December 14, 1881. . 8. Richaroson, Denver. Yes. J. These dispatches have just been made public by the Denver papers. How do the people of the United States like Jay Gould in his new role as broker of government offices! Isn't it a startling commentary on monop- oly power that the arch monopolist of the country holds at his disposal the very office created by the nation %o supervise the conduct ot the Pacific railroads and compel the fulfilment of their charter o bligations to thepeople? Can he not add to the boust of the president of the Manhattan railroad the statement that besides legislatures, courts and the law, he controls the appointing power of the nation and dictates oflicial appointments in return for purchased consciences? It 18 high time that the country should understand the veril in which ic stands from unscrupulous and ar- rogant stock jobbers. And if this is u government of the monopolies, by the monopolies and for the monopolies, tho sooner the people learn the fact the better. THE ZSTHETIC CRAZE, To the Editor of Tix Brn. The apostle of modern culture, Mr. Oscar Wilde, has now spent two weeks in New York. During this period the public has been afforded every opportunity to guage the men- tal caliore of the man, the sincerity ot his purpose and the objects of which he professes to be in pursuit. He has been interviewed by reporters, wined and dined by the aristocraey of Murray Hill, and finally, inall the glory of a mediaeval costume, has spoken his piece from the lecture platform of Chickering hall to the most fashionable audience ever gath- ered in the metropolis. The reports of Mr. Wildes's lecture neither indicate a crack-brained fool nor a brilliant man of genius. His two hours speech, illustrated in a cos- tume of knee breeches, silk hose and pwmps, consisted of a very tame and equally confusing condensation of various author's ideas on the subject of beauty. Aestheticism was defined as a correllation of all the arts, its disciples as apostles of a new religion amd their mission the destruction of the hum-drum existence of every day life. A few epigramatic hits at the satirists and stabs at the unap- preciative Fnglish public relieved what would otherwise have been a very prosaic discouse ou a rather profound subject. It was doubtless a disappointment to the audience that the lecturer failed to indulge in those maudlin extravagancies of expression by which De Maurier and Gilbert have made him famous. There wasnothing of the “utter” and ton too consumately” in Lis discoure. 1f the lecture had been given by an obscure American, it 18 safe to say that it would have failed to attract an audience of one A more startling disclosure and oue | hundred persons to Chickering Hall, The acsthetic craze, of which Wilde and his followers are the outgrowth rather than the authors, is a natural reaction against what Matthew Arnold calls modern Philistinism. Morris, Rossotte and Swinburne long ago paved the way for its growth in litera- ture and the Pre Raphaelits in art. Under another name it has for some yenrs povscssed & sohool of avdent though modest diseiplos in London, Inart it at first took the phase of a subordination of mere dotails to the general effect, later developing into a realism which exaggerated both form and color and sought to convey striking improssions othor than to cor- rectly interpret nature. So far as the movement, ot which Mr. Burne. Jones, Mr. Whistler and Dante (ia- bricl Rosette have been the latter day oxponents, has caused a greater indi- viduality of expression in art, both decorative and otherwise, it has doubtless been beneficial. As a pro- test against the conventional it stim- ulated invention and forced new ideas of beauty upon the subject. It has, howover, “as is usual with all movements of the kind, passed into extravagance and having become fashionable has naturally be- the saure time ridiculous is not alone as Mr. Wilde come “‘Satire” says the homage which mediocrity pays to genius. It is more after the hand which unmasks affections and sham. In the present case nine-tenths of the persons who rave over the “ur, utterable” and roll their eyes in maud- sentimentality old “blue china” and “‘dados” cannot tell the difference be- tween a painting and a chromo, and have ‘as little ideas of the principles underlying «sthetics as they have of the history of the medieval period over which they grow so rapturously enthu- siastic. The craze will run its course, as every other mania bas be- fore it. If, however, it adds any- thing to our kuowledge of form and color, assists in making our homes more beautiful, or stimulates a desire for originality in design and increased knowledge of what is beautiful in na- ture, as well as in art, it will not have languished and sighed in vain. At auy rate, a portion of Mr. Wilde's mission will have been accomplished. wsthetic Mg, Cassipy proposes to earn his annual over the Union Pacific by pushing the project of that line to have the Northern Pacific embarrassed with unfriendly agitation of its land grant franchise, whille the Utah Northern is being rushed in Montana. [Pioneer Pross. It is very likely that there is a good deal of frozen truth in the above state- ment. Endeavoring to break down confidence in the stock of one com- pany in order to advance the interests of another is one of the tavorite meth- ods of the railroad ringsters in con- gress o3 clsewhere. A sTRONG pressure is being brought to bear upon President Arthur to re- move Mr. Pearson from the head of the New York postoftice. No one claims that, with his twenty-four years of experience, Mr. Pearson 18 not in every way fitted to fill the post- office, but it is urged that the position should be in the hands of a man com- petent and willing to run the prima- ries and manage the city delegations in future state conventions. Mr. Ar- thur will do wisely to let Mr. Pearson manage the New York postoflice. IN the past fifty years the commit- teo list of the house of representatives has nearly doubled insize. There are no good reasons why it should be fur- ther increased. — Speak Out. Holt County (Neb.) Record. Are the farmers of our county satis- fied with the present laws on the ques- tion of transportation? Have youany grievances on this point that you think the newspapers that claim to represent your inwrests should dis- cuss that the legislature should rem- edy! Have you any just cause for banding together and demanding of the government protection-and re- dress! Are the laws of your state, which create foster and pander to monopolies, just and equall Are those law satisfactory to you? These are pertinent quesiions that the farm- ers should promptly answer in tones of mo uncertain sound. In sev- eral counties of the state the farmers have already un- furled the banner of reform, and are rapidly organizing Alliances that they may thoroughly educate them- selves, learn eaoh other views and work unitedly. Regardless of party affihations, these farmers are banding together and solemuly declare that their rights are ignored and demand redress. Theold party whip, with all its power, for them has lost its ter- rors. They earnestly ask the co-oper- ation of the farmers of the state. Will they appeal in vain? Are the farmers of Holt county in sympathy with the movement? There is not an intelli- gent farmer in this county, who will not readily admit that the agricultur- al classes should unite for their politi- cal protection; there is not one who does not sincesely hope for the com- plete triumph of the Alliance movemont. ut what are they doing to assist the good work? Farmers, if you want to help in the good work, now is the acceptable time. Again and again are we met with the remark of unmanly despair, ‘It is no use, the farmers cannot help thewselves; the monopolistsand venal demagogues will always rule the coun- try.” Such a sentiment is unworthy of men, The truckling politician will rule as long a8 you servily suffer them to rule you, and the serfish fet- ters of the monopolist wili circle yon around only as long as you remain in dastardly inaction. Think, ac as American citizens ought, and those obatacles thav no # seem unsurmounta- ble will vanish like a mist. But the worst feature about this movement is the spirit of cowardice exhibited by the farmors themsclves. When any other trade or class of men labor un- der any real or supposed grievances, their opinions and actions on such subjects are unequivocal, their wqrflu wo hold, their actions are &IV But thiough sou [ farmers act differently in political workings, Their actions are noted for tardiness and timidity, and the dread of the venal and impotent scoff’ of a bribed newspaper shect will si- lence a whole commumty. Wil this ever cease! To-day the confliet is approaching in Nebraska, and the paid organs of the monopolists are tilling the land with their doctrines, and with an impertinence unsur- passed, declare that the farmers have no cause of complaint, and further, that they are more than satistied with the present state of things. Now, such is the strife going on between the leadiug daily papers of our state. Tuk Omana Bee proclaims that the agrioultural classes of the state are unfavorably dealt with, that the farm cursed cause, the | ers are determined to redress those wrongs. Tt is the great champion of the people's rights. But then its con- temporary, almost equal to it, The Ropublican, denies those facts, and says thoy only exist in the imagination of theeditor k Ber. Who isright! The Brr, week after week, ably and thoroughly ventilated the vicious acts of the monopolists. The Republican contents itself by stating that the Bee i ere in its motive. The Bex exponnds political principles, The Republican only replies that the Ber would preach a werse doctrine, if the monopolists would pay him enough, Tha Bee speaks of the wrongs of the farmer, the other speaks of The Bee One says the farmers are determined to right the wrongs they suffer, the other states that the farmers that in- terfere are imbeciles, curat with fana- ticiem. Farmers how is this! Speak out. RAILROAD NOTES. The Leavenworth ex ention of the Santa Fe roud will be completed by the 1st of April, 8t.
