The open warfare of bribery and corruption has been changedto a bushwhacking campaign, which meeks {o accomplish the same results under d Harent auepices, The artillery duel of promisent rallroad political attorneys has given way to a still hunt by small bore cappers of the monopulies, Corporation managers through their organs are professing an indifference to the result which they do not feel, while their agents with changed headquarters and a greater show of secreoy, are carrying out the directions of their masters. The situation has its dangers, which must not be overlooked. A secret foe is often more difficult to meet than an open enemy. The only safety for honest representatives of the people is to resist all overtures from the friends of the monopolies. In simple juatice to their constituents and to the solemn pledges of devotion to the prin- ciples whichthey were clested to voiea, no member of the lcgislature, bo he republican, antl-monopoly or demo- crat, can aflord to engage in entang- Iature oets to work chopping off the sinecure offices. — Tuere is more double distilled pat- riotlsm at the sta‘e capital among can- republic for two centuries to come, ling allisnces with men who seek to win their support to the secrot candi- eradicated in England and that the plan of competitivo examinations as a prercquisite to entrance Into the civil service applied to all classes cf gov. The public will be dinabused of this idoa by reading Con. sul General Merritt's report to the state department, which makes a prac. tical comparison between the Ameri- can and Eoglith systems of admission into and tenure in the civil eerviee.

If we remem- ber correctly the subject was agitated in the council and particular interest taken in it by Councilman Herman, but the matier was finally dropped without action. Every great fire like that which bas just shocked the country brings the queation forcibly before our people. Why has Omaha no ordinauce rega- lating the erection of bui'dirgs and providing for the filing and aporoval of plans with a city cflicial competent to pronounce whether they comply with the law! Firo traps veneered with brick, foundations which are dan- gerous from tho day of their comple- tion, theaters and halls with tmproper and insvlicient exits, hotels with no extra provision for the escape of guests in case (f fire or panic, are planned and constructed, and there are no grounds for objection under the law to their completion. or punishment for their owners who recklessly en- danger human lives and property with impunity. If the city council desire to gratify a praiseworthy public sentiment they will at once take steps in the matter. A building ordinance ought to be at once drawn up and Introduced, Those of other citics will provide all the materials essential’to a measure which will prove a much needed s:feguard to Omaha and its citizens, The detaile can be discuesed in the open council, Buch en ordinance should provide for the thickness of walls, the proper thicknees f floor beams and their in- wartion feee of flues in walls, the pro- portion of breadth «f brick walls to the height of the structures, the num- ber and character ¢f exits in places f public amusement and such other pro- visoes a8 may eeem advisable aud neceseary.

GERMANY may repudiate the Amer- {can hog, but it welcomes the Ameri- can actor. Edwin Booth, our most subtle and artistic, and therefore our most effective interpretcr of Shak- speare, {s now playing Hamlet in Ber lin to audiences who have recelved him with marks of distinction ae flat- tering as thoy are extraordinary. It is praise enough for Eiwin Booth that his Hamlet is regarded by the Ger- man oritics as the perfection of dra- matic@t. Germany is the country where Shakspeare has been most exhaustively studied and appreci- ated. German Shakspearean criticiem preceded any intelligent criticlsm of the great dramatist in England, It was Goethe and Sohilling, Schiller and Leseing who drew the first philosophical analysis of Shakspeare’s plays, and to-day, in Germany, ad- miration for the English playwright is held to be the first requisite cf lit- erary Intelligence, To the German mind ‘‘Hamlet” 1s one of the ideal productions of the world, the embodl- ment of the prcfoundest philosophy, the most consummate art and the sub- limest poetry. That Edwin Booth speaking in a foreign tongue, with a sapport of native actors can produce such an impression on the culture of Berlin is proof enough that he has not been overrated by his countrymen as the most sccomplished tragedian of his age.
