E—— THE ILGES CABE. A dlspatch from Washington says that the resignation of Lieut, Col. Guaide Ilges to take effect immedlately has been received at the war depart- ment, Within three or four days at the farthest we shall hear that Col. Tiges has been honorably retired from the service on his own application. Col. Iiges has been a gallant officer of long wmervice, but on his own confession he is a swindler Itisa notorious fact that he has more than once been accused of drawing his pay from the government twice over, Be- ing detected In the offense he hands in his resignation dated a year fheud and asks for its acceptance In order to save s court martial and dlsgrace. And now the secretary of war Informs Col, Tiges that his resignation will be ac- ospted If tendered to take effect im- mediately, but that otherwlse he will be tiled by court martial. Commenting on the above the New York Sun says: It must seem to honest men, whether they are in the army or in clvil life, very remarkable, and very discreditable both to the secratary of war and to Col, Ilges. Herelsan offi cer of high rank, who Is acoused of swindliug the government by drawing his pay twice over. Instead of meet: ing the disgraceful charge he reaigns from the army, dating hie reelguation ahead. Instead of orderlng him to be tried for the alleged offance the secre- tary of war promises to let him off If he will leave the service at once, By the publication of the facts from the war department Col. Ilges is put 1o an infamous position, but in pub- lishing them Secretary Lincoln exhib- its himself in a very bad light also, If Col. Tiges is Innocent, of course he must demand & trlal. If he avolds such an {nvestigation by resigning, he substantially confesses his gullt, If the secretary of war accopts the rosig- natlon, which ls tantamount to a con- fession, he practioally holds that the swindling of the government by an of- ficer of the army Is an offense of such minor conscquence that the criminal is sufficlently punished by belng al- lowed to retire voluntarlly from the army at short notloe, ABIGN OF PROSPERITY, The sale of the Lowe tract, lylog west of the Lowe road and south of Mercer avenue, and containing In ali 144 acres, s one of the largest single teansactions in euburban real estate that has been recorded Mr. Poppleton becomes the owner, the conalderation stated, belng $30, this wseason. 000, We rate this teansfer editorlally merely to call attentlon to the rapidity with which Omaha I8 pushing westward finto the country and the steady advance of all preperty which lies on the boundaries of the clty. Here ls unlmproved land almost if not quite two mlles from the post- office, In what 1s considered an unde- elrable part of the city, bringing an averago of over 8200 an acre. Five years ago General Lowe would un- doabtedly have considered himaelf fortunate {f he could have secured a third of that sum, The dally record of real estate trans. fers shows that property In every part cf our clty Is firmly advancing, If 1t needs only a rlde on the outskirts of town to show why this 1s the case. Our people are buylng to bulld, not for specalation, The insatlate de. mand for smell dwellings s stimulat. ing the purchase of lots in the addl- tlons and forcing the erection of hun. dreds of three, five and seven room dwellings, These are the true indices of the growth of a clty. The handsome resldences of the rich may Indicate the accumulation of Individual riches in a community, but the construction of the small cottage in large numbers evideaces the distribution of wealth among the many and the prosperity of that class whose toll alone creates wealth for all classes. The workingman who owns his own home does ot alone benefit him- self and family through its posses sion, He becomes at once more of a factor In the prosperity of the olty in which he lives. As a housholder and a taxpayer, he Is naturally more watchful of its interests; and as a man who has taken the first step towards financlal Independence, he receives a new stimulus towards in- dustry, sobriety and obedience to the laws which he looks to for the protec- tlon of his property. THE BEE AND THE OPERA HOUSE. The Republican ssys that the Bre is slurring the opera house because Manager Boyd refuses to pay ‘‘black- mailing prices for advertlsing.” The BEE has not, slurrad the opera house unless a steady refusal to puff poor shows can be distorted into slurs, When it has seen anyihlog to com- mend, either in thc opera house or its mansger, {t has not hesitated to com- mend It. Bat 1t has not and 1t will not in the fatare, insult the Intelligence of ita readers by indlscrimlnate puffery of snide entertalnments nor will it permit the use of Its local columns for the publlcation of advance notloes of any travelling troupe on any other basls than that of paid advertiscments, So far as the refusal of Manasger Boyd to pay ‘‘blackmailivg prices for advertislng Is concerned,” no one knows the truth or falsity of the charge better than Manager Boyd. The charges for space In our columns are the same to the owner of the opera house that they are to any other commerclal enterprise, no more and no less. Free passes to shows will not pay printing bills in this office. Tue Bee is the only newspaper establishment in Omaha where they will not. This may not sult the views of Mauager Boyd, but it s business, Since the opening of the present year no employe of THk Bee has been al. lowed to accept ‘‘the courtesy” of the opera house. If any have acoepted It they have done so against our positive orders. If this s “‘blackmailing,” Tar Bee 1s & dotermined ‘‘blackmaller.” We have only one rule for business transacted with our establishment. We pay in cash for what we get, and expect our patrons to do the same, Our advertising rates are open, and printed. We have no secret rates, If Manager Boyd wishes to use our columns on this basis he Is welcoms to them. If he thinks 1t wlll not pay him to do so, he must let them alone, In elther case wo shall be entirely sat- isfied. But of one thing he may be certaln; he cannot fix the prlces on our staple commodity any more than any outslder can fix the price of s in the opera house. And, whether he patronizas us or not, we shall hold ourselves at perfect liberty to critlowe according to our un- blased judgment, both the manage- ment of the opera house and the per- formances of the troupes which hold a place upon Its stage, If this be ‘‘black- mall” Manager Boyd should make the moat of it, Tuk princlple of law that personal property follows the person of the owner within the jurlsdiction where it les s belog taken advantage of by some of our merchants to escape assessruent, For Instance, a business man whose store ls located In the Fourth ward, but who lives In the Sixth Informs the Fourth ward asses- sor that he s to be assessed in the Sixth ward on his merchandize and other valuables. The Bixth ward sstsor supposes that the Fourth itd assessor has attended to the 1038 and noglecta to leave the soary blanks or to ask the usual (1 -etions, The consequence Ia that the property entirely esoapes ssses- ment, Thero ought to be aniformity fu tals matter of assessing personal property. As it ls, several hundred thousand dollars a year of this class of property entircly evades asscesment, Tir BEE calls tho attention of asses- sors to the subject In the hope ef etimulating a reform, Mgs, Farr has been awarded a de- cree of dlvorce from Senator Falr, with allmony of $4 200,000, the San Francleco residence and the custody of her three children. The eenator made no defenee, declaring that his wife’s name should not be dragged Into prlnt through any publicity of the scandal, Mr, Falr ls for falr play and no favors, TOWN TALK. It s astonishing how many Omaha pecplo are attracted toward Californla, The Kelloms and the Visschers have already located In the Saunta Clara val- loy, and several othors are meditating an early removal. Col. and Mrs, Brownson, and Mr, and M E. V, Smith are among the number who will leave shortly. Speaking the other day with Mr. Smith, who {s dls- poring rapldly of his property in North Omahs, he informed us that rsal es. tate In that portlon of the town was steadily appreclating in value and that his sales had met his expectations so far as prlces are concerned. Van Smith 1s one of our oldest settlers and will be missed by many friends In this | p], city. *'The statements of the National banks in Omaha just published,” satd an old banker, ‘“‘show what an impor- tant financlal center this clty is be- coming. Even the new Nebraska Natlonal shows loans and discounts of upward ot $500,000, and the Oma- ha and First Natlonal make statements of which no bank in the country need be ashamed.” ““The way that Judge Sahler salled into Mayor Chase amuses a goo wmany,” sald a hanger-on around the clty hall, ‘‘and {s another evidence of the slippery ways of the politiclan. Sahler was one of the props of the s republican party of this county in the early days, and was the boss of what was known as the Taylor-Sahier ring. E. B. Taylor, its nomioal head, was editor and proprietor of the Omaha Republican, and the ablest edltor the psper_ever had, barring its founder, Ed. Webster, once private secretary of Willlam H. Seward. When Chase made his adventinto Omaha John Sah- ler was & good deal bigger man than Chage, and might have been mayor a good deal easier. But things are re- versed now, John has shown his old method in those sarcastic Third ward olub resolutions, which convey a gen- tle hint about the ingratitude of emi- nent men, By the way, Colonel Chaze clalmed that he never promised Sahler the marshalship, or anything else. The two may settle it between them.,” ‘I underatand that Senator Man- derson is selllng the greater part of his Omaha property,” said the round- the-corner-barber, as ho strapped his razor viciously and swooped down upon the face of the suffaring reporter, ‘‘Well six years in Washington is a long time and the senator wants to olean up for emergencics. Now that he has giyen up his law practice he will have more time for removing office holders and paying up his politl- oal debts on clvil service reform prin- olples, Its pretty hard work to be s senator even in vacation time. Some of the boys are howling loudly over the way the fur has flown in Omaha federal circles.” “Yes,” broke In a postal olerk, ‘‘we have had olvil sesvice reform in Oma- ha on the half shell.

You know he was romised, when he threw his forces to anderson, the best office in the glft +f the delegation, and the old war horse now finds that means the post office at home, on the conditibn that he recelves the unanimous endorse- ment of the Hall county delega- tlon In the late legislature, for whom he stumped Hamilton and Hall countles to make thel: election sure, Good, fan't it. Who wouldn't joln the clvil service reform crowd in Nebraska politica.” “I would be glad to remaln in Omaha the rest of my life,"” remarked Colonet Ludington, us he stepped into the government ambalance, ou Friday, on hls way to the depot. ¢‘My statlon here has been one of the pleasantest in all my expertence, and 1 have found the people of Omaha genlal, friendly and hospitable almost to exoees,” Colonel Ludington goes to Washington for the present, but expects a new assignment within a few months, *‘We need more wholesale houses in Omaba,” sald Superintendent Taylor, of the Bradatreet Agency, ‘‘and there s room for them, Of course you know that we are to have a competing hardware house frown Nebraska Clty which is only walulog for the erection of a large briek bullding on the south- east corner of Harney and Tenth street, on the site of Jim Stephenson's old stable.

Upon lnvestigation I find water marks recorded by reliable cltizaus who have lived on sald creek for the last fifteen years, which ehow the water to have been at least four foet bigher than 1t was at the time of this accident, and when the creek was unobstructed. I would call your attentlon to the sewer bullt on a branch of this same oreek across Farnam street, a four foot sewer, where the water-shed can- not be one-twentieth what it is where the present sewer is bullt, and It shows that the water raised four feet above the sewer, which, in my estimation, ought to convince the olty councll that the present sewer ls inadequate to meet the demands.
