We have not expected to hear much about Missouri river barges this spring, but we had a right to expect that something would be done with the unexpended balance voted by con- gress last year for improving the Missouri river near Omaha and Coun- cil Bluffs, Coxonress still dilly dallies along with, an inestimable amount of gab and very little practical work. And the democrats who lost control of con- gress because they did nothing for the interests of the country are trying to act the role of obstructionists and hold the republicans to a do-nothing policy. A rEw weeks ago Chicago law breakers laughed at the very idea of the courbs interfering with their busi. ness. But now, with twenty-two gamblers convicted and awaiting sen tence, and a score of others begging for meroy, the impression isn't so géneral among the sporting fraternity that justice is played out in the Gar- «en Oity. New York politios is in a ferment. The stalwarts are divided into two wings—one led by Governor Cornell, and the other supported by the admin- istration. Both sides are marshalling their foroes to control the next con. wention, without taking into account the independent element. As an offset the independent republicans an- nounce their intention to support no slate which does net meet with their approval. Somebody has got to skip along very lively to keep up with the procession, E—— CouncruuaN Fred Behm made an excellent move at the last meeting of the city council when he introduced suf ordinance compelling *owners of property on streets which shall here- after be curbed and guttered to put down solid sidewalks of permanent material, either stone, brick or con- crete. The ordinance is in the line of both safety and economy, Under our prosent system of laying plank side- walks throughout the city there is soarcely a year in which the city is not called upon to pay substantial <amages for injuries resulting from defective pavements. - The wooden sidewalks collect and retain filth and moisture and in the summer season are a constant source of disagreeable and unhealthy odors, After two or threo years wear they become uncom- fortable for travel, unsightly to look at and expensive to maintain, The cost of keeping & wooden sidewalk in repair for five years will lay down a substantial stone walk, Mr. Behm's plan for getting rid of our wooden walks is of the same nature as our fire ordinance and will prove as effect- ive in accomplishing the decired re-) sult, It ought to secure a speedy pu-“ sage, of congress to regulate inter-state commerce. The senator's speech, which may be regarded as his greatest effort since his advent in the national legislature, is published in full in the Chicego Times. The seuator makea a very ingenious plea on behalf of the shippers and producers of the west, but proposes a remody which will afford them no re- lief. He quotes from suprome court decisions to sustain the right of eon- gress to pass laws that will prevent extortion, discrimination and pooling by railroads. He cites a num- ber of cases of flagrant discrim- ination between localities in Towa in freight rates and calls attention to the facts tat the railroads are diverting trade from the water ways and forcing it to seek an outlet by the longes’ route to the sea board. He insists that congress must do something now in response to the numerous petitions from all sections of the country praying for relief from abuses at the hands of the railway monopolies. But Mr. McDill tells these people that congress can do no better for them than to create a com- mission of three porsons, who are to hear their complaints, collect statis- tics about railroad transportation, and report their findings to the next con- gress. In other words, Mr. MoDill proposes to craate a board of com- missioners whose business it will be to draw latge salaries for collecting statistios and pigeon-holing the peo- ple’s complaints, Senator McDill has been a member of the Towa railway commission, created several years ago by the legis- Iature of that state and which is still in operation. So far as affording the people of Iowa any relief from corpor- ate oporession, the Iowa commission has been an entire failure. Like the commissions of a number of other states, its members have published yearly bulky volumes of railway sta- tistics, have heard and investigated complaints and drawn their salaries with great promptness and regularity. Here their duties ended and the pub- lic have been benefitted just about as much as if they never had existed. State railroad commissions have been tried in eleven atates in the union. In only two instances have they produced any effect in reducing railway tariffs or preventing corporate abuses. In Georgia the railway com- mission is invested with plenary powers. It adopts the classification of freights, fixes the tariff on both freight and passengers, hears complaints and adjudges damages, and in all particu- lars acts as judge and jury be- tween the people and the railroads. Ta Xllinois more modified powers are given to the commissioners, who have in " several instances lowered tariff raths, and recently changed the entire clarsification on freights within the state boundaries. These are solitary instances and transcend the boundaries 1aid down by Judge McDill, whoserail- way commission might justly becalleda commission for collecting railway sta- tistics and delaying congressional ac- tion on the question of anti-monopoly. The objection to a national railway commission, such as that urged by Oharles Francis Adams and Seaator MocDill, is that it would accomplish nothing. Congress is already in possession of sufficient facts rezarding monopoly abuses and discriminations to act intelligently on som measure which will afford instant relief to the suffering producer of the nation. No statistics which such a commission could collect would make the need of relief any more apparent and no delay could bring out in stronger colora the absolute necessity of action by congress for the regula- tion of interstate commerce, In the second place such a commission would have no power to act. A bureau for the collection of statistics, un. less empowered to apply the knowledge gained from the sta- tistics, would be absolutely worthleas to the people, The English railway commission which hears complaints of abuses and discriminations by the railroads is vested with all the powers of a court of equity and is empower- ed to onforce its judgments against the offending companies, It decides whether discriminations are unjust or charges exhorbitant and compels the abandonment of the one and the re- duction of the other. It listens to charges of insufficient facilities and orders additional trains, In short, the English commission by reason of ‘the ample authority vested in it and the wide scope in which it which it operates acts as a constant check upon corporate rapacity and affords a speedy remedy for monepoly abuses, The plan proposed by Senator MoDill is emasculated of every feature which would make it valuable as an answer to the demands of the people. It is precisely such a measure as the mo- nopoly lobby, which for years has been fighting Mr. Reagan’s bill, will not oppose. It grants an indefinite postponement of anti-monopoly legis- lation, and places all official discussion of the question at the mercy of three men, any two of which, secured by the railroads, will make any subse- quent lrginllt{on diffcult if not im. rising tide of indignation which threatens them in every quarter of the country. Senator McDill eannot escape from grave wuspicions of his sincerity in urging such a measure, There are already ugly rumors afloat of his con- nection with the railroads and their tools. A foew weeks ago when the subject of a bridge across the Missou- ri at this point was actively discussed, a telegrvm from John Chapman, of Council Cluffs, was sent to Washing- ton addressed to Senator McDill. Tt directed him in case the bill intro- duced contemplated competition with the Union Pacific railroad bridge, t> “fight it.” Mr. Chapman, who was doubtless acting by authority, probably knew his man or he would not have for- warded such an order and in the ligh of Senator McDill's late speech, which was virtually in favor of the monopo- lies, his constituents have the best reasons for clesely watching his votes on every subject which affects at once their own interests and those of the corporatious. Of one thing Senator McDill and his associates in both branches of con- gress may be sure, the regulation of interstate commerce will be acceptable to the people of the United States which does not offor a speedy and certain rem- ody for the abuses under which they are now suffering. Long winded speeches deploring present evils, aud offering no solution for the vexatious problem will fail to meet the demands of their conatitu- ents, and sops thrown to appease pub- lic sentiment will certainly not be ac- cepted in place of measures which strike at the root of the abuses they are intended to remove, and offer a promise of permanent cure for evils which are sapping the life blood of the producers of this country. The No measure for | ye: ducers and dealers. Now it is self evident that nobody will build a market house in Omaha unless he can realize a fair interest on the money invested and at the same time have a full return of the capital expended. A good market house, such as would serve all practical purposes, could be built for fifty thousand dollars, Many American cities with twice the population of Omaha get along very well with market houses that cost half that sum. Now if the party that builds a 850,000 market house exacts 10 per cent. upon his investment and has, say fifteen years’ lease of the ground, he can, by collecting ten thousand dollars a year rent from the market stalls, pay the interest on his money, which is five thousand dollars, and lay away five thousand dollars each year to meet the principal. At the end of ten years he will have his money all back and still draw $10,000 a year during the remaining five years, which will give him really ten percent on the original invest- ment, with his capital returned at the end of ten years and a bonus of $50,000 at the end of the fifteen ars, On the other hand suppose he builds a market house with a city hall to cost two hundred and fifty thousand "dollars. Ten per cent. per annum will be twenty-five thousand dollars, and presumably the party will desire a return of the original capitai invested, within his own lifetime, say within twenty years. That would make twelve thousand five hundred dollars per annum to be added to the interest, making thirty-seven thou- sand five hundred dollars a year, which amount would be exacted from the people who patronize the market. In the light of these figures, which everybody can comprehend, will the city council of Omaha enter into any fact that Senator McDill’s speech was | contract that would bind two genera- published in full in the Chicago Times shows that the railroads are willing to have it circulated broadcast as the best plea for regulation that is not in- tanded to regulate. tions of our citizens to a market house tax of from thirty to forty thousand dollars a year for the privilege of having a market when the city it- Wo presume | #elf could put up a building for thirty thousands of copies will be distributed | thousand dollars that would serve our among Jowa farmers, bat we doubt wants for the next ten years or when whether thoy can bo hoodwinked by |8 fifty thousand dollar market build- such chaff. MARKET AND CITY HALL. About two months ago a proposition was made to tho city of Omaha by Mr. Webster Snyder on behalf of cer- tain capitalists to build a market house and city hall on Jefferson square, provided the city would lease the square to the parties for fifty years without rencal. The lessees agreed to erect a building on Jeffer- son square that would cost two hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars, and would serve for the joint purpose of a market house and city hall, with all the necessary rooms for various city officers. The proposition was sub- mitted to the last council, and they, without taking action or discussing the provisiens of the proposal, re- ferred the question whether Jefferson square should be leased for marketing purposes to a vote of the people at the city election held April 4th. The proposition, as voted upon by the people at that election, simply stated “‘Was Jefferson square to be leased for a market house and city hall? Yes or nol The people had no chance or discretion to decide as to terms or to divide the proposition #0 as to vote in favor of a market house and not in favor of a city hall, a8 they usdoubtedly would have done had each proposition been submitted separately. The result of the election was that the citizers of the First, Becond and Third wards voted by large majorities against the whole proposition, and the people of the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards voted by larger majorities for it. In other words the southern half and central portion of the city oppose the leasing of Jeflerson square and the northern half of the city favor the lease. The citizens of the Fifth and Bixth wards particularly voted by large majorities in favor of the measure, doubtless because a good deal of work was done by parties in- terested in the property around the square and in that neighborhood, We take it, however, that the mere fact that the majority of the votes cast was in favor of leasing Jefferson square would by no meansjustify the oity council in making any contract with any person or corporation that would in a great measure defeat ths main object for which & market house is wanted. From the outset this paper has been in favor of the erection of one or more market houses in the city of Omaha. We believe that a public market would be of material advantage to all oclasses of our citizens, but particu- larly to the workingmen and people of moderate means who are now paying extravagant prices to dealers and middlemen for products which they ought to buy directly from the farmer and garden- er, Whether the market house is on Jefferson square or in a more central location is mot material, What we want a market for is to reduce the ing would answer for the next fifty years and save say at least twenty-five thousand dollars a year taxes upon the patrons of the market. Itis prepos- tercus to talk about a permanent city hall on Jefferson square, place the city offices should be be much nearer the business center. In the next place they must sooner or later be located in a building as firo proof as the Omaha post office or the new court house. always be exposed to great risks. Lastly, it would be impracticable to take the police court into the Jeffer- son square market house for the rea- son ihat prisoners would either haveto be conveyed in carriages from jail to the city hall and back, or else police officers would labor under great difficulties in dragging them thtqugh streets crowded withhuxters carts, market women, butchers’ wagons and farmers’ teams. No where in this country where the ex- periment has been tried to havea market house and city hall and ity offices in one building has the experi- ment proved satisfactory. In several ecitios wo could name it is regarded as a common nuisance and has been abandoned just as soon as separate buildings could be procured. ‘What the people who voted tolease Jefferson square want is a commodious market house, and that is all the council ought to give them. If the parties will not build it this city could afford to vote twenty-five thousand dollars for a start for Jeffer- son square, and we will have all the market house accommodations that are needed for man to come.

The Anti-Monopoly League earn- eatly calls attention to the relations of corporate and public rights as the most important questiou hefore the Ameriocan people at chis time, Steam, electricity and machinery, controlling factors in the industrial and commercial world, have been largely monopolized and the public taxed uoduly for their use. Corporate_life, practically immortal in its duration, wieldiug these great powers, has sssumed an importance never before known or contemplated, and it is not ounly rapidly concentra- ting the wealth of the nation in few bands to the detriment of the masses, but to tuate this state of things it has sought political power and cor- rupted our elections and legislation to exteat that not only imperils pub- ic morals but endangers our free in- stitutions, That this is true is known of all men. Official investigations have demonstrated it; our everyday life has proven it. We therefore declare that orgunization of the ple is necessary to maintain the following PRINCIPLES: Anti-Monopoly —We advocate, and In accerdance with these general principles we affirm that the public welfare and public safety demand the following specific measures of relief: Laws compelling trausportation companies to base their charges upon the *‘cost and risk of service,” with a fair profit added, instead of the new theory advanced by them -‘‘what the traffic will bear;"” laws to prohibit the establishment, through construction companies or other devices, of a ficti- tious cost for works of a public nature; prohibiting unjust discriminations against both citizens and localities; railroad commissions, state and na- tional, with adequate powers to see that these laws are enforced; a liberal policy toward our waterways, which, during the season of navigation, are potent in preventing exorbitaus charges by railroads, 2. More efficient laws against the crime of bribery und for the protec- cago under the name of E. W. Burn- ham, a change in the given name only being made to suit the chango ia sex. During the period young Burnham had lived as a woman the acquaintance had been formed of another young woman also of musical predilections. The two ‘‘girls” were chums, even room mates together, without suspi- cion of another condition being pres- ent. The regard then formed ripened into love, and after a period had elapsed the two were married and have since lived happily together, waking their home at Waterloo. The husband and wife are none other than E. W. Burnham, the head, of the Burlington Novelty company, and Mrs, Fertie Everette Burnham, one of the members of the party. There 18 nothing in Mr, Buraham's appear- ance to indicate the strange bistory, and he is now thoroufhly masculine in appearance, capable of raising a tion of the purity of the ballot. A prohibition of free passes, 3. A public service founded on capacity and integrity, 4. Public lands, the ggmmon inher- itance of the whole pe*lo, should be reserved for actual settlers, b. Currency, the measure of values, whether metallic or paper, should ba equal to coin, and be issued and con- trolled by the Government only. 6 The known benefits of the pos- tal systems of other countries to be adopted in the United States; includ- ing the postal savings bank, and the postal telegraph and telephone. 7. A froe press—the bulwark of our free institutions—must be matntained. Leading journals have been purchased by monopolists who are endeavoring to control the thought of the Nation, The journals which are not thus con- trlolled should be sustained by the peo- ple. For these objects we declare that cifizens should, without regard to party, vote for candidates pledged to secure the adoption of the above prin- ciples and objects. That if existing political parties are 80 controlled by monopoly influences that they will not give the relief which the public interest demands, then it will become the duty of all good citi- zens to form a new party which will give the desired relief. That the anti-monepolists recognize the rights of capital as well as of labor; we appreciate the benefita which corporate organization has con- ferred upon the human race; we will labor as steadfastly to maintain the rights of corporations as to enforce observance of their duties, but the time has come when the people must organize to restrain the power for evil wielded by a few unscrupulous men, who have obtained coutrol of the great forces of the century and who in their use *‘recognize no principle of action but personal or corporate aggrandizement.” METHODS OF PROCEEDING, To organize State, county and dis- In the firat | trict leagues.

Where such candidates are nominated, the League will notify its members of this fact and in such cases leavo each member free to con- Without fire|sult his individual or party prefer- proof offices and vaults the city will|ences; but where one candidate will and another will not support our prin- ciples, then all party affiliations to be laid aside by members of the league, and a solid vote cast for the candidate endorsed by the league.

Most ot our readers have heard of the Burnbam Novelty company, which has been playing about in the smaller towns of Iowa during the past winter. The company has, however, gained confidence and is playing at St. Paul this week, It is idym be on its way to Dubuque. From what we have heard about its merits, we are led to hope that Dubuque may be spared. But there is un extremely interesting readers with the solemn assurance that it is well authenticated, Mr. and Mrs. Burnham are resi- dents of Waterlco, this State, where they have resided for some time. One of the principal parties in the strange cffair about to be relieved is Major Powell, who was, says The St. Paul Pioneer-Press, editor of The Minne- apolis Tribune in 1873, Prior to this time Powell had led the life of a Bo- hemian, and in his travels went to Broadhead, Wis., where he met a | charming young lady, ossed of talent as a musician. Maj. Powell was then lecturing, and made a favor- able impression both npon the young lady and her parents and the friend- ship for the girl ripened into love and marriage. The young lady was then about nineteen years old and had al- ways been reared delicately by a fam- #ly of the highest respectability, The father was a physician and drug- gist. Soon after her marriage to Major Powell a change began to take place; her complexion became | M: swarthy and & beard began to grow, which demanded and received the as- siduous attention of a razor., Other physical changes went on, and after the couple had been reasonably hap- pily married for & period of nearly three years despite the major's disso- lute habits, it became impossible to deny the fact that the girl was more man than woman, A visit was made to Chicago, an eminent physician was consulted, who confirmed the suspi- cion, a surgical operation was per- formed, and Major Powell and wife separated, there being no matrimonial provision to bind two males together, The disclosure was extremely mor- history connected with the manager of | H, this company, and we give it to our|E. heavy beard, though to meet the re- quirements of his business he is clean- ly shaven. The facts are well au- thenticated. Mr, Burnham is the nephew of a Iprominent citizen of Minneapolis, in whose family he lived as a charming young girl fora codriderable time, and is the subject of one of these curious frsaks in na- ture, which are rare, but undoubted- ly oceur. —_— HIS GRATITUDE. 11th and Poplar streets, S, Lours, Mo., March 17, 1881, H.
