E.ROSEWATER. Editor. Erronts on the part of brick manu- facturers in Omaha to combine for the purpose of maintaining exorbitant prices, will certainly fail as they ought. — Tre Herald has something to say I'HE OUMAHA DAiLLY BEE: THURSDAY APKIL 13 is8 PROHIBITION AND REGULA- TION. Prohibition has now been on trial in Kansas for a year and judged by practical results the exveriment has proved a failure. It is a notorious fact that as much liquor has been sold and drank in Kansas since the liquor traffic 1 &1 been outlawed ss during any equal period bofore prohibition was enacted, It is true that liquor has not been sold in many of the smaller Kansas towns and villages, but in all such places the traflic in liquor had either already been stopped or could have been stopped under the local option law, which enabled the county or city authorities to reject applica tions for license. In Nebraska where license is optional the same result has been reached in many places where such a course was sustainedj by pub- lie sentiment. In every Nebraska town where saloons were conducted by decent men in an orderly manner the license systom has worked satis- fuctorily, whilein towns where saloons were made resorts of vico and petty crime, the communities have enacted about water works, but we presume no reference is intended to Holly's direct pressure systom as expounded by Dr. Cushing. mm——— Five hundred thousand dollars has been approprieted for fast railway pos- tal service, A shortening of the time between Chicago and San Frarcisco at least one day ought to be the next thing in order. Mavor Boyp’s recommendation that our business streets ought to bo paved as rapidly as possible and beforeother sections of the city, is good. It would have been better if he had added that nothing but stone block pavement will, in the end, proye dura- tle and sotisfactory in those streots. “Poor old honest Kirkwood,"" says the Chicago Times. “He wasn't pretty enough for Arthur’s cabiaet. He was not sleck-headed ; conse quently he retires to Towa, No!Sam Kirkwood wasn't pretty, but he was honest, which is a much rarer quality among public men in Washington. Tue post-office appropriation bill has passed the house as it came from the senate with the exception of the amendment restoring ths franking privilege. This was unanimously dis- approved, as might have been ex pected. Congressmen are too near tho people not to know what the feeling is upon the proposal to restore an abuse which it took the country ten years to get rid of. Tuge death of Hon. Thomas Allen leaves a vacanoy in the Second dis- trict of Missouri, and & special elec- tion to fiil the vacanoy will shortly be ordered by Goyernor Crittenden. As the district is a close one the repub- licans hope to elect their candidate, who is stated to be Hon. E. O. Stan- ard, In 1880 Allen's majority was only 2,436 and as he was unusually popular the belief is general that Mr. Stanard can scoure the seat. Georak R. CHILoOTT has Been ap- pointed to succeed Senator Teller, of Colorado. Mr. Chilcott is said to have been an old resident of Nubras- ka and a member of her territorial legislature. He moved to Colorado in 1860 and devoted his attention to the practice of law, representing Pue- blo county a number of years in the territorial and state legislature, His appointment is said to give general satisfaction throughout the state. Tan everlasting claim of Ben Hol- liday for losses sustained by him as mail contractor from Indian hostilities has again put in an appearance in the sonate, where it was reported from the committee on claims by Senator Cameron, Mr. Holliday's little bill now amounts to a trifle oyer three hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Men who ought to know say that Hol- liday hus spent nearly half that sum in attempting to lobby 1t through eongress, and by genoral consent there is a colored gentleman of very large dumensions in the woodpile, which has been accumulating so rap- idly since it first put in its appear- ance before the congressional com- mittee. No sYmraTRY in either the north or south ought to be wasted on General Chalmers, of the shoe-string district, whose seat in congress will shortly be vacated. As the hero of the Fort Pillow massacre Chalmers early gained an unenvisble reputation which he has very well maintained since tho close of the war, At the last con- gressional election he engineered a re. turning board scheme in Mississippi by which three thousand republican ballots were thrown out on the ground that they had an ordinary dash printed on them to divide the head from the names. This it was claimed was a violation of a law forbidding distinguishing mark on the tickets, As ninety nine out of every hundred of the ballots printed by all parties have a dash printed in the way de- scribed the omission would ~ertainly have been more of a distinguishing mark than the presence of the dash. ‘What makes the outrage more marked is the fact that in some parts of Missis- sippidemocratictickets weroused which had dashes precisely the same as those thrown out by Chalmers’ returning board. local prohibition by refusing to license such dens, It cannot be said that to do 85, there is no doubt that regu. Iation is by far the most sensible, as well as the most practieal. — e In his annual meggage to the ecity eouncil Mayor Boyd recommends that the surplus in the city treasury, which amounts to $100,000 and will be increased during the year by the 1ssue of paving bonds, ete., be made n sourco of revenue to the city. There is no doubt that the income of the treasurer from salary and fees is am- ple, and his deposits even at a low interest rate would bring an income to the city of several thousand dol- lars a year, Another very important recom. mendation is the reorganization of the paid fire department on a more economic basis. We can safely now lay off one or two fire engines, but we ought to invest more money in hose and hose carts, In this connection it might be well to call attention to the necessity of keeping up our fire cis- terns, There is still danger that there may be 8 break in the water pipes during a fire and the cisterns would then be the only source of water sup- ply. prohibition in Kansas has not had a fair trial, The question has been a constant vision will be the difficulty in seour- vg its general adoption by the peo- ple. The force of habit is strong, and another generation would have to spring before the changes will meet with a ready approval. Tue Republican quotes the ‘‘Ne- braska Farmer's advice to Omaha workingmen to beware of political barnacles and lazy tramps. The workinemen of Omaha would heed this advice if they did not know that it comes from one of the most impu- dent political barnacles and tramps in Nebraska, Beginning with a postal route agency and ending as a sort of porter in the Nobraska insane asylum, this fellow has been a political scav- enger for many years, Of late his so- called Nebraska Farmer has been railing and barking at Senator Van Wyck because the barnacle failed to got & clerkship in the Lincoln post- office. Tt is decidedly in accord with RAILWAY NOTES, Dolngs in the State. The telegraph construction toree of the B. & M have reached Arapshoe with the wecond line, Work on ths Florence cut off on the Omaha and St. Paul road was resumed Inst Mon.day. The building of the missing link be- tween Plattsmouth and Nebraska City bas been revived again, the Fals City New: is reliubly informed that the Miss uri Pacific wili be in operas tion between St Joe and Omaha on the 19th of this month. The Durlington ana Missouri Platte river Lridge has been aln.ost entirely re. built, and is now the most substantial pile bridge on the river and good for ten years, Work on the brick round house at Ted Cloud commenced in e.rnest, A large amount of stone is on the ground and workmen have commenced laying the foundation, The Wahoo Indepen ‘ent says the Mis- souri Pacific surveyors were in Wahoo last week surveying a line from Avocs, by way of Greenwood, to that place, and are how pushing toward North Bend. Tue Sioux City and Pacific railroad company has issued » new advertisiog time card, with amsp showing the exten. sion of the road t F.rt Niobrara Itgives the eternal fitness of things for such political soreheads to admonish Omaha workingmen to beware of po- litical trampe. ——— The Otoe Lands. The mayor thinks our police force is insufficient and ought to be in- creased to twenty. On this point we The Wymorean, Many of the parties who are wait- ing for the Otoe lands to come into market are doubtless doomed to dis- subject of d?lcuuion ever since fl.le would say that unless’ a new head 1 appointinent, for those lands will not, prohibitory liquor law was enacted in | put on and better discipline intro- [in all probability, be on sale for six the state, as of course it was preced- | duced into the force, an increase of [ months yet, and when at last they are ing its being engrafted on the laws of the state, and while opporition has shown itself, the prohibitionists have been so outspoken, so aggrosssive, and 8o supremely positive in their dec- larations, that the assumption in Kan- sas and outside of the state has been that public opinion was largely in favor of the measure. The prohibi- tionists have been constantly cam- paigning, have been constantly or- polica would be a waste of money. The mayor exprosses a desire to se- cure the best talent for the city engi- neer department, and increaseits force at loast while the city is engaged in the construction of sewers, paving and other improvements. The engineer- ing department in this city has always been managed on a penny wise and pound foolish policy. It isn’t merely a matter of profes- ganized, and invoking the moral|sional skill; it is also a. question of force of the church at home.and|integrity.

It Strikes their Pocket, Sutton Register. It makes much difference whose ox is gored. Liucoln people have no ob- jection when the railroads discrimi- to in favor of the capitol city, and against the villages along the line; but when the same rule is applied to the benefit of Omaha, and against Lincoln,then it is their night to howl “The laws of trade” so much talked about, when the discrimination is in proclamation, and even here the peo- ple were not credited with a disposi- tion to defy the law so much as the authorities were willing to ignore it and permit its violation. The result of ‘the local elections in Kansas last week afford proof positive that prohlbition in Kansas is a practi- cal failure. B From all sections of the state the intelligences comes that the prohibition candidates were beaten i three cases out of every four. The prohibition issue entered into the campaign in every town in the state and every other local question was ig- nored. The prohioitionists were ag- gressive and cenfident. They raised the black flag, giving no quarter and asking for no concessions. And the election returns show that Governor 8t. John had overshot the mark, Even Topeka, the political capital and foun- tain head of prohibition in Kansas,has elected an anti-prohibition council by a large majority, [At Olathe, thehome of the governor, his followers were overwhelmingly defeated. A similar result is reported from every soction of the state.y These political reverses would, however, be of little moment if the traffic in liquor had been stopped and the evils arising from intemperance had been eradi- crted. But all accounts agree that their favor, does not apply when they i are the losers.

Nearly every attempt to pun- ish violators of the prohibition law in Kansas by indictment has failed, and the revenues formerly derived by the people of Kansas from the liquor traf- fio are now divided among the liquor dealers and their lawyers. While Kansas has been mak- ing costly and impractical experiments in prohibition, Nebraska has sought to check the evils of intemperante by rogulation and restriction. The high license law passed: by the last legislature was in the line of reg- ulation and not prohibitory, as was claimed by somo at the time of its passage. It does not make liquor solling a crime or purchasers of liquor crimivals, Its intent was to drive out of the traflic all dealers who were not financially responsible for any personal damago which might re- sult from their connection with the business, and to provide suitable rem- edies for a number of the mostly prominent evils, which all admitted was the result of unbridled licease. In other words Nebraska has sought to throw safeguards around her citi- ens by confining the traflic in liquor to men of established responsibility, under restrictions that afford a reason- able guarantoe that they would keep orderlyhouses, At the same time the traffic, which is recognized among the necessary evils is made to contribute largely to the revenues of the state, and the tax thus imposed is devoted to the support of her public schools, ‘While the Slocumb law is in many re- speets defective, and has been violated in this city and elsewhere, it affords by far greater protection from the ovils of intemperance than the prohi- bition law of Kansas, As between Kansas prohibition that cannot be enforced by the civil authori- ties and criminal conrts and Nebraska rogulation, that has been sustained in the courts and can be enforced where- ever the local suthorities are disposed market purposes it should be for less than fifty years, and for a building which need not cost more than fifty thousand dollars, right thing by going into politios with their grievances, and the way they laid out the class of aristocrats wno live off their earnings has taken the sand out of The Herald man.

Chieago Tribune The Adams Express company re- ceived a telegrem yesterday morning from their agenton the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne train which left here at 9 o'clock the previous evening for the east, that a man had been tound con- cealed in a box in the express car and had been handed over to the officers at Van Wert, Ind. He gave hisname as John McAuley, of 171 West Mon- roe street. The box, which was pro- videa with wire at the top and bot- tom to give ventilation, was labelled “The Last Rose of Summer,” and the expressmen supposed it contained flowers, but when Mr. McAuley was feund snugly ensconced in it they fancied (they had captured a robber.
