To the Editor of The Pee My attention has been called to a communleation of County Commis- sloner Corlles addressed by himself as a cltizen to himself as an cfliolal, de- claring the entire storm wator sewer system of Omaha a failare, and more particularly the North Omsha sewer. Mtr. Corliss informs Commlissioner Oorlies that while he Is no englneer he knows a 4-foot sower can not drain 60 acres, and that therefore to draln 1,200 ncren it takes a sower of at least twenty times ita capaclty. Consider- {rg that the large sowers of London, with {ts 700 square miles, are only 16 foet, and those Varle no larger, and that the largest sewer In the world, costin scveral milllons, though yet In complete s only 22 feet In dlameter and had a natlonal government to build It, the magnitude of Mr. Cor- Ilen’ conceptlon of sewerage can be per- colved. Mr. Corliss’ Idea of the datles and responsibllities of a county commis. sloner are expanded in the same ratio with his views ou the sewersge ques— tlon. He evidently thinks that the commissloner representing a county preclnot should not only regu- late the aftairs of the county but the entlre clty as well, Granger Corliss has seon too many dams and manure plles in the country to take any notice of them In the city, otherwlse he might have noticed be- fore the storm a very deep and large sccamulation of water south of the high embankment at 28:h and Far- nam atreet, and also at 24th and Cass streets, He might also have scen very extensive manure plles alongthostreet oar barus ou the south branch of the North Omaha creek. Were he not a granger he might have stopped to fig- ure and ascertained that these two ponds held from two to three milllons gallons each, and these manure plles Mr. Corllss not being an englueer could not put o bushel into & peck nor strike upon the Idea that possibly the breaking loose of one or both of these dams from thelr elevated posi- tion, thus letting loose from three to five milifons of gallons to rush head- long in one body down to the sewer already runnlng nearly full, and in {ta mad career unable to get sudden admission to the sewer, tear over the narrow bavk and roll into the old channel only to be checked temporar- ily at the brick wall of Woodman's bullding stretohed across the pathway of the water's course. Of course not! Yet strange to say the people living at Twenty-eightth and Farnam street, where the higher pond was located, holding over 2,600,000 gallons, state that such a break did ocour between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning of that terrible storm, and frightened them and thelr horses 1nthe barns, to which the water leaped, The hollowed banks of the oreek at the street car barns tell with voloe- less speech that they caved In for a length of nearly 100 feet, depositing all their treasure in the mad waters of the creek below. No, Mr. Corliss 18 a granger, other- wise he could not have been Inapired with so brilllant & conception of the entire sewer system of Omala In so short a time. If Mr. Corliss or his amanuensis had inquired and com- pared the records of storm waters that fell that night and the previous and subsequent storm, they might have learned to be at least a little more moderate In thelr exaggeration of sewer capacities. The U. S, signal service record, which, after careful investigation, I am convinced Is correct, shows that on the previous storm the ralnfall was 2 65-100 inches in tour hours, On that night the sewer carrled all the water without trouble, and Mr. Wood- man stated was only about three- fourths full at it discharglng end. Now, on the night of the so-called large storm the signal record shows only a total of 2 4.100 inches in four hours, or half an inch less than the previous one, and a trifle lesa than that of last Sunday morning. There may have been a dlfference, as the signal officer states, for an interval of half or one hour of these four In an uneven dlscharge of the water which fell. Admitting scoh to have been the case, who in the face of the fact that less water actual- ly fell In the four hours of rain on the night of May 8:h than before, even 1f most of It came down In one hour, - | but a granger or a prejudiced mind « [oould make so exsggerated alcharge that the sewer had not 120 or 1-10 or 1-3 or even $§ of the necessary 1 a that are four feet above those of the last storm. I will not dlspute It but who dare say that the creek bed of ten years ago hes not been lowered and widened several feet by constant wash slnce that tlme, and hence with a deeper and wider channel It is reason. able to say the same storms that ralsed the creek to the old water markswould do so now. Further than this, who will dispute that a sewer can not carry more water when completed and re- celving tho dralnsge at every dls- tributed point than when forced to re- celve almost all the water of the whole drainage area concentrated at one sin glo opening. Again, who will dispute that {f the old channel had been filled aud Nlcholas street graded so that the oveitlhw, Instead of belng forced to accumulate in a deep chanuel, had had a chance to flow down, the grade a8 the rainfall flows down any street, that any eerions damsge could have ocourred. Agal, 1t {s very question- ablo that even the overflow that took place would have effected any serlon damage to the Woodman bullding 1f the walis had been bullt of hydraulic mortar, made of bank sand and ce- ment, instead of mortar of lime and river sand, which was almost liter- ally dissolved, very little If any set- ting having taken place to this date. In conclusion let me say that while Mr. Coriles’ skepticlsm may preclude his belleving :tgn a bushel can be put into a peck, it wlll, however, never prevent the public from being oon- vinced that he can put 300 days' time on the county pay roll within 50 days of actual service rendered, and charge up a large mileage acoount and actu- held many tons of manare.

Any o who {s ekeptical enough on that subject, even If not an engineer, can wince himself by examining the cfficlal records of the commissloners’ vroceedings. Further than this no one who knows Farmer Corliss, whocan- 141y admlts he ls no engineer, will, for a moment, belleve that even the heavy charge contalned in that com munication emanated from the brain of the country representative; but on the contrary every one will be charit. ablo enough to conesde the prodnction as having too much resemblance to the ear marks of another cflislal, not far removed, who has put the bridle Into the granger's mouth to use him a8 a jackass for light artillery prac- tace, Very respectfully, ANDREW ROSEWATER, — o e B right'sDisease, Diabotes, Kidnev Liver or Uri: DA Have no fear of any of these dis- oasen if you use Hop Bitters, as they will prevent and cure the worst cases, even when you have been made worse by some grest puffed-up pretended cure, RAPID WORK. The Construction of the Oregon Short Line Through Idaho. The Oregon Short Line appears to be making good progress, if wo take into consideration the number of mlilen of track laid and the kind of country through which it passes. Just two years sgo the first ground was broken near Granger, and now the track has reached Halley, Idaho, a distance of 376 miles from the start- ing point, The maln line is 321 miles to Shoshone, from which the Wood River branch extends, to Halley 65 mil: This branch was completed to its present terminus last Monday, and In a fow dlgl tralns will be placed on the line. efore this can be done, it {s important to line up the track, straighten out any crooks, and put in h sldetracks as will be needed to ct the large business that the road is sure to do. Mach of the grading of the entire road from Grarger has been through lava beds, which {s the hardest kind of rock work, while on these plalus far away from water and eupplies, the expense of grading was very greatly Increased by the heavy coat of getiing suppliea. Now that the road is com- pleted through, and water has been obtained by sinkirg artealan wells, the route will not be unpleasant to travel over. Besldes bullding the road above named, the company also dld consid- ebable work in changlng the route of the Utah & Northern, and have the grade far advanced for the ex- tensfon of the maln line to Oregon, The company expect to complete the road within the next ten or twelve monthe, a dlstance of €21 miles from Shoshone. Although 1t has not been constructed as fast as was at ficst anticipated, it has made wonderful progress, and what s very important, it has baen built first class In every respect. It promises to be one cf the best paylng lines belonging to the Unlon Pacific company,—Salt Lake Tribune, e s ‘‘Every epileptic sufferer ought to try Samaritan Nervine at once,”’ says Rev. J. T.

A prominent democratic congrese— man, who is very well posted on the speakership campalgn now actively golng on, eays that Holman, of Indi- ana, {sscheming for the gavel. Hol- man's racket 18 to equalize the fight between Randall and Uarliele, eo they will defeat each otker. ‘‘What about Mr., Morrison, of Illi- nois, and his colleague, Mr. Springer? Are they not candidates forthe speak- ership?’ *‘One is and one s not, A short while before congrees adjourned, Mr. Springer told me that he was a candl- date, and that he personally knew that Mr. Morrlson was not and would not bea candldate. Mr, Springer not only expressed thebellef that he would be elected speaker, but seemed to de- rive great comfort from the fact that his frlend Mr. Morrison would not be » candidate, In trath, Mr. Spring- er was as sanguine then as Mr, Cox s now.” ‘‘And what are the chances for Mr. Cex?” *'It might be unjust to say justnow, Mr. Cox is popular, and though this is not the least that can be sald of him, he does not have the united support of the demooratio congressmen of New York, and consequently he will have to make an UNUSUALLY BRILLIANT FIGHT to stard any chance of winning.” ‘‘Are there any other candidates for speaker " There may be. The selection of speaker will have a most lmportant bearlng on the next presidentlal nom- ination by the democratic convention. It s for this reason that northern democrate, who profer Mr. Carlisle as & man on whose judgment and pollt- ioal integrlty they can depend, want & northern man for speaker. It is for this reason, maybe, that blr, Til- den ie a little lntercated in the elec- tion of Mr. Randall. Itis for such a cause perhaps that southern congress men are beginning to make their an- nual political pilgrimage to Gramme cy patk, for in the south Mr, Tilden | rotalus remnant of his former atrength asmong a certain class of lvfluential publlc men,” *‘Who are the other candldates?" “There 1s Judge Geddes ot Ohio, there s Mr, Converse, and there is Frank Hurd, also of this cffice-breed. log state. There is some talk of the demoorats neminatiug Mr. Converse, and this would stop either's candldacy for epeaker, Of course Mr. Hurd would not violate the traditions of the latter-day political saints of the Buck- eye state by refusing an cffice, even were It the presldency of the United States. Like Mr. Morrlson of Illinols, he is too much of a free trader, as Mr, Randall 1s a too EXTREME TARIFF ADVCCATE, to command the cholce ot his party. have the unlted support of the Ohio/ democratic congressmen. I am posi tlve that Mr, Carlisle will get more than & majority of the Oaio congress- men," “Then who will win?" “‘From the precent tndleatlone Mr. Carlisle is in the lead, and a gentle men in his confidonce teils me that he in assured of at lenst 120 votes on the third ballot.

Consequently any candldatoe receiving 97 votes In the democratlc caucus will b speaker of the next house;” “Bat what about Mr, Blackburn, f Kentucky! Will his candidacy be det- rimental to Mr. Carllsle? *‘Oh, he will get out of the way at the proper time, Joe Blackburr, althoogh impulsive in disposition and impetuous in langnage ' when on the floor of the house, s nota fool, and 0o one who knows him as I do will accredit him with a want of common sense should he withdraw from the race, Should he remaln In the race he fa not ltkely to come back to con- gress by democcratio votes.

Atkins to make this denfal. © has made no combination with any one for speaker, and does not Intend to enter any pool in this contest. The fact that he and Mr, Carllale are eouthern demoorats will not, as has been aaserted, diminish the latter's strength. Gen. Atklus was an officer ia the Coufederate srmy, and also a member of the Confederate congress. Mr. Carlislo, who lives in Covington, opposite Cincluratl, was a consistent Uulon man durlng the war, The paths of the two were wldely apart then, and the candldacy cf the one for the clerkship and of the other for the speakerchip will not cause a hostil- ity of THEIR RESPECTIVE INTERRSTS now. Mr. Randall fs not popular with the democratic press or the demooratic masses {n the south The supposition that Gen. Atkius was a Randall man came near defeating him for re elec- tlon to the forty-seven congress, he recelving 10 999, the republican can- didate 9873, and the independent 3,723 votes. Gen Atkins, as have other prominent southern leaders in politice, two years ago an- nounced his displearure with the high tariff ideas of Mr. Randall, Were he member of the nex: houss his cholce would not be Mr. Randall for speaker.
