Omaha needs a market house; she needs a good system of pavements and a proper extension of her sewerage system to meet the sanitary require- ments of a great and growing city. But more than all these, she united action of her citizens in gurating and maturing plans neces- sary for her growth and development. public wants less factionalism, fewer needs inau Omaha wants more She spirit cliques, whose only aim is self inter- est, and more men who are willing to think and act for the best interests of the entire community, No one is disposed to deny that our city is growing rapidly and steadily. Its development in every trade and industry within the past five years has been nothing if not line of marvellous. Homo and foreiun capi- tal has been expended in planting in- vestments which are already giving profitablo returns, and which at the same time are distributing thousands of dollars among ‘hundreds of homes in our midst. have been compe'led to increase their accommodations in order to deal with Our business houscs the natural growth of trade. Brick, stone and iron are replacing the wooden structures on our streets. Water works have at last been se- cured for the protection of our dwell- ings and the convenience of our citi- New lines of railroads are pointing in our direction whose com- ing will open up additional fields for trade to our merchants. There is every promise of a new era of pros- perity, of commercial growth and in- dustrial activity, to which the years that are past will afford no parallel. But Omaha’s growth has been large- ly gained in the face of the opposi- tion of her citizens. The interests of the city at large have been given into the hands of a few public spirited and enterprising residents while a large portion of our wealthy and well- to-do citizens have been content to stand aside and reap the benefits of the energy and labor of others. Some have not been content with this course. A persistent fight has been waged by a number of fossilized citi- zens against every scheme for public improvement which necessitated the expenditure of money or the loaning of the puMlic credit on behalf of the city, while the very same parties have been the first to sdvocate the bonding of the city to corporations and the donation of its rights and franchises to the monopolies. Tt is his high time that our citizens should awaken to the possibilities which lie within their grasp. What the future will be, how great the de- velopment of our natural resources, and how extensive the aid which other sections of the country will give to the increase of ourmunicipal growth — all these matterslie in our own hands and must be decided within a few years to come. Concert of action on the part of our citizens, universal and outspoken interest in municipal affairs by our tax payers, a far sighted public policy which is willing to invest a thousand dollars in order to reap a re- surn of a hundred thousand, the sup- pression of immediate self interest for the general benefit and a determina- tion that whataver is done shall be done for the future as well as for the presont—with such sentiments ani- mating the citizens of Omaha the growth of our city is assured, and its pormanency as the great commercial metropolis of the trans-Missouri conn- try will soon become a certainty. zens. Some of the delegates to the State iance meeting recently held at Hastings went home much dissatistied with the proceedings in some respects. Rosewater, the farmer of the Omaha Bek, was there and took an active part in shaping the convention. He opposed the inauguration of an inde- pendent anti-monopoly party in the state, and his private m{vicu was to pack the party caucuses if possible, and if this could not be successfully accomplished, then to get up a third party. So says Mr. W. K. Hecht, of York county., Rosewater will un- doubtedly try very hard to get on the delegation to the next state con- vention, and if he succeeds will un- dertake to run the convention. If he fails in that he will follow the exam. glu of the so-called republicans of eward county and bolt the action of the convention.—Blue Valley Blade. The only word of truth intheabove is the assertion that Rosewater oppos- od at the present time the inaugura- tion of an independent anti-monopoly party in the state. Thoe editor of the Beewas an invited guest at the Hast- ings convention and the only part he took in mhaping (he pmcwamu of that body was the delivery ofa speech at the request of the officers of the Farmers' Alliance, His advice, both public and private, may be found in the published proccedings of the moetings, Every member of the Hastings con- vention knew just what Rosewater's views were on the third party idea be- fore he delivered them. He has ex- pressed them time and again in Tug Bee since the orgamuzation of the place the Burlington management will oontrol & continuous line of road from Chicago to Balt Lake with branch lines into every important mining district- of Colorado. With such a system the Burlington man- agement would not permit the re- maining link between Balt Lake and the Pacific to remain long unoceu- pied, farmers’ alliance, and has urged the legitimate expression of public opinion in the choice of candidates throngh the party caucus andconvention. He has advocated the nomination by re- publicans of none but anti-monopoly republicans, and the selection by dem- ocrats of none but anti-monopoly dem- ocrats. Where this plan was impossi- ble on account of the corrupt in- flusnces of the corporations he has commended the support of the best men on an independent ticket, irre. spective of party wh course was practicable or afforded any hope of success. There was nothing in any way private about these vie of Rosewater, and they were endorsed very cenerally by the Hasting's con- vention as sound, safe and sensible. —_— ANOTHER LAND GRAB SCHEME Mr. Belford's bill to lease arid and desert lands lying west of the 100th meridian is a huge scheme hidden behind the mask of a According to its provisions the secretary of the interior is authorized to lease to any citizen of the United States a tract of land not exceeding 5,000 acres within the desert or and region of the public domain, located in the state of Colo- rado, for not more than ten years, at a rental per annum of four cents per acre payable quarterly in advance, under such regulations as the secre- tary may prescribe; a failure on the part of the lesseo to make such pay- ment, to operate as a forfeiture of the lease. Upon the expiration of the lease the secretary of the interior is authorized to sell such tract in quan- tities not exceeding 640 acres, and for a price not exceeding $1.26 per acre, or to renew the lease for a second term of five years, provided the lessee has reclaimed the land and placed thereon improvements; he shall be entitled to renewal tor the subsequent period or periods of not more than ten years each — the land so leased not to embrace timber or mineral lands. Judge Belford supports his bill on the ground that under its provisions individual capital will be brought to reclaim what is now a desert waste and the government will secure a rev- enue from a quarter from which it now draws nothing. He points to the fact that the lands at present are oc- cupied for cattle and sheep raising with- out the sanction of law and states that the main object of his bill1s to legal- izo this occupation and to protect the rights of those thus engaged from en- cronchment and irterference. Tur Bee calls upon the Nebraska delegation in Washington to oppose this measure Its object is a land monopoly of the largest size. The certain result of its passage would be the locking up of millions of acres of the public domain in the hands of a few capitalists at a merely nominal rental to the government. Our graz- ing lands up to the present time have been free to all. The smaflest in- vestors in the cattle and sheep raising business have been been equally as welcome to their use a8 the largest cattle kings. The ab- sence of any monopoly of the great ranges has stimulated the business until the value of cattle exported has increased from §665,719 in 1872 to $14,304,103 in 1881 and the value of sheop from §79,692 to §762,932. This great growth has only been rendered possible by the free use of the unoc- cupied public domain which the gov- ernment has afforded to all comers. There are no good reasons why the policy shonld bo changed now. The measurg introduced by Judge Belferd and reported favorably by the committee on public lands is first of all an attempt to monopolize the cat- tle and sheep ranges and prevent any further extension of the grazing busi- ness among smaller inyestors, It is another step in the line of monopoly which 18 already the curse of the na- tion and which has extended to every branch of trade, commerce and trans- portation. In the second place it is a dangerous menace to the agricultural interests of the region covered by its The terms ‘“‘desort lands' have covered many gigantic steals i times past and the present instance is not likely to prove any exception to past experiences. Twenty years ago the most fertile portions of Nebraska were considered an arid desert and it is only within a few years that prac- tical experiments in tarming have proved that lands west of North Platte fand Kearnev are available for purposesot cultivation, Judge Belford's bill would at once take out of the market for homestead and pre-emp- ever such a land grabbing pretended public benefit. tion millions of acres of lands which could readily and economically be utilized for agriculture and place them in the hands ot a few capitalists whose only improvements will consist in improving the breed of cattle and sheep which monopolize the vast tracts practically donated by the gov- ernment, Congress has already been disgraced sufficiently by its reckless donation of the public domain to corporations and stock jobbing rings of capitalists. The people desire to be heard on the question and their voice 1s unanimous against any further squandering of the nations possessions. Tug city council has been asked to vacate seventeen feot on each side of the upper part of Farnam streot, be- ginning at the city limits and uxhsnd—1 ing a mile and a half in an easterly direction. This would leave a width of sixty-six feet, which the owners of adjacent property affirm is sufficient for all purposes of traffic to and from the city. Tue Bkx is opposed to the proposed change. It sees no good & reason why the street should not be left at its present width, Building is rapidly reaching along upper Farnam street and plans are being laid for making every portion of the thorough- fare available for business purposes. Farnam is the only street in the city which is laid out at a uniform width of one hundred feet for a distance of three miles from its origin. It has been the intention of the county com- missioners as far as possible to bring toit all the country traffic and to this end they have been improving the roadways leading to the city through upper Farnam street. On this account they are very seriously opposed to any narrowing of the thoroughfare and the grounds of their opposition are plainly for the best interests, not only of tha immediate property owners on the street, but of Omaha itsclf. The city council should sit down on the peti- tion with a loud thud, The Georgia Independents. Cleveland Leader. The state election in Georgia does not take place until October, but the opening speech of the campaign against the bourbon democracy was made at Augusta by Hon, W. H. Fel- ton on Monday night last. Mr. Fel- ton was a whig as long as that party existed, and then a Unionist. He was oppoged to the rebellion, but af- ter its suppression acted with the - democratic party. He was elected to congress as an independent democrat in 1874, re-elected as an out-and out independent in 1876 and 1878, and was defeated in 1880 by a democratic candidate, while running on an Independent ticket. An audience of over five thousand people gathered to hear him on Monday, and applanded his speech, which laid emphasis on the necessitv of overthrowing the Bour- bon ring in Georgia. Independentism meant that the peq- ple should be the masters and not the slaves of the politicians. He de- nounced the poll tax law and the boucbon frauds on the ballot box, and advocated freee schools and a taniff to protect our home industries. ‘The platform thus outlined is one which will grow rapidly in favor in Georgiay the most prosperous and intelligent state in the south, and we have strong hopes that that state may yet be re- deemed from Bourbon rule. As he closed hs speech and stepped from«l the platform, hundreds of those pres- ent stepped up and congratulated him upon his effort. There is little doubt but.that his speech will have a won- derful effect in Georgia, and will add hundreds of strong and powerful men to the fast filting ranks of the inde- pendents. He has received invita- tions to Columbus, Macon and At- lanta. Rural and Municipal Population. 8t. Louis Republican. A census bulletin gives the total population of the 100 largest cities in the United States having over 20,000 inhabitants at 9,098,000, which is nearly one-fifth the wholé’ population of the country. The total increase of population in the_country in the last decade was 12,000,000, and 2,396,000 of this was in the 100 cities. The figures are pointed at as an indication of an excessive crowding of people 1uto cities from the raral districts. But it is doubtful if there is any more such crowding going on in this country than elsewhere, No dJoubt there are thousands of persons in every large American city who contribute nothing to the aggregate of useful humon effort, who do nothing in the way of earning an honest living, and are mere drones in the social hive. Of the 9,000,000 persons constituting the population of these 100 cities, 1,000,000 could ‘be spared, and the cities be better off without them. But it is not clear that the rural dis- tricts would be better off with them, as the majority of them would be as averse to earning a fair living there as they are in the cities, Both the rural regions and the cities are able to absorb a large num- ber of steady, reliable and willing workers, and to pay good wages to them—and this will be the case for many years to come. But the tasks of life are constantly growing more exact and complex; even farming has ceased to be the rude, clumsy business it once was, and became & vocation in which skill and accuracy are required. It is these increasing exactions that are swelling the ranks of idleness with unambitious and indolent perrons who choose rather to be dronies than qual- ify themselves for skilled tasks There are seasons when the farming districts need a large extra supply of labor but the introduction of mach- inery into agriculture supplies a force which 18 not to be overlooked. Our aggregate of farm products is con- stantly and largely increasing, a fact which shows that the laber supply on farms is not materially impaired by the crowdiag of population into cities; and the fact that our farmers are abie not only to furnish an abundant sup- ply of cheap food at home, but to send an enormous surplus abroad and un- dersell British, French and German farmers in their own markets, shows with what effoct machinery now used in the enltivation of the soil and the production of food.

It is a sad fact that American hu- morists, as_a class, resemble preco- cic children. Let them do one thing at which the world laughs, and they will repeat the performance over again with the persistence of a mad hankering to please which makes justifiable homicide a relaxation as well as a duty. Stanley Huntley's “Spoopendyke Papera” were good at first, but anybody could write them now. The humor is strictly machine work, but ‘“Mr. Spoopen- dyke” grinds away at his comparison mill with a fresh and breezy convic- tion that his fun does not pall fipon repetition. Mark Twain's jokes are the result of a plain, chemical for- mula; given a man a chair, a dark H night and a tumble, and a grammar | ! school boy could construct a wrtticism which Mr. Clemens would swear was his own. Bill Nye has his little re- ceipt for humor, just as George W. Peck has his, and Peck could write Nye's stuff’ just as Nye could write FEugene Field's, or Aleck Swart write Josh Billings's. What we complain of is that there is no spontaneity about recent humorous writers. These amusing gentlemen would a8 soon think of tampering with the Lord’s prayer as altering the form made or expression of their writ. They seem to think that when they have a good thing they should stick to it. A patented style of humor may, as the country grows older, pass as an heirloom in certain families, and it would be no surprise to us, were we to revisit the pale glimpses of the moon five centuries hence, to discover a descendant of Stanley Huntley writing that all “Mrs. Spoopendyke” needed to be Eve was to add a few years to her age. “A Wonderfal Effect.” ApriAN, Mich., June 30, 1881.
