Oun municipal government needs fum- igating almost as much as our streets and alleys, ReAv estate in some of our citios is flat, but the boom in Nebraska farm lands is at its height. Junce BArNes has declined a re-elec- tion. There was every indication that the election would have declined Judge Barnes, Mavor CrAse is said to be hunting for an organ. A hand organ would be the most appropriate instrument of personal torture he could select. Mgrs.. Lanotry has gone and taken everything with her back to England but her reputation. That was lost months ago. J. STERLING MoRTON is on the stump inTowa, Among other topics that he will not touch upon is ‘‘Railroad Lobby- ing, or How I Built Arbor Lodge.” Axorner call for bonds will dispose of £31,000,000 of the treasury surplus. A reduction of taxation to this amount would be more satisfactory to the public. Tue Virginia democrats have met in convention and adopted a platform, Mr. Mahone is still on top and will remain so as longas the federal patronage holds out. PENNSYLVANTA democrats refuse to aid the Tilden boom, Ohairman Harris, of the state committee, going so for as to say that Mr. Tilden could not bo glegted if he were nominated, SARATOGA is prominently mentioned by eastern editors as the place where the next Republican convention will be held. The place where the next republican president is to come from has not yet beén discovered. THE LAST RESORT, first battlo wak begun folr years ago, _#.00 | when Cushing and his gang of corrup S 199 tionists sought to force the Holly system gineered by Isaac S. Hascall and endors- ed and defended by George L, Miller. At the succeeding election the people vindi- cated their right of public sentiment to rule by sweeping the entire gang of rogues from the city council, and a year later by the clection of James E. Boyd as mayor. Whatever were the deficien cies in Mayor Boyd's administration, it was an honestone. No job was rushed through the council while he acted as chief executive of the city. The finances were well administered, and the founda- tions were laid for the beginning of an extensive system of public works under an amended charter drafted to carefully guard the interests of the city and to protect its tax payers. The election of Colonel Chase as the successor of Mr. Boyd was due entirely to the record which he made in the Holly fight. Scores of our best citizons voted for him for no other reason than their belief that he was honest in spite of his eccentricities and that he would refuse to be led by the evil associates with which he had surrounded himself. With Chase and Savage as the rival candidates it was confidently asserted that in any event the interests of our tax payers would be secure, The outcome has proved the contrary. Omaha is once more confronted by job- bery and corruption. The wishes of her tax payers and the will of her citizens are again brazenly defied by scoundrels holding offices of representative trust. The rogues who worked the Holly infamy are again in the council pushing through the Colorado sandstone job. The mayor whose vetoes held the rascals at bay four years ago, has joined the men whose enmity he then gained through his honesty. Once, more the = tax- payers of Omaha ' have beén compelled to appeal” to--the courts for protection against the unworthy servants whom they elected to voice their evil. It is the last and ohly resort,of an' oute raged community. { Upon the decision of these injunction cases depends the de- feat or consummation of one of the most Siazen frauds and corrupt jobs that has ever been attempted in any city. A victory for the Union Pacific sandstone ring means tho beginning of a system of Tweedism in Omaha, which will continue for years to come. Its defeat will pro- claim to all aspiring councilmen that the courts are powerful enough to keep in check the most corrupt and venal of city officials, CARDINAL McCaBE, of Dublin, de- 7 nounces all who disobey the papal circu- lar against the Parnell fund, as heretics. The namber of heretics in Ireland, ac- cording to this system of estimating them, is & legion, comprising fully one-third of the clergy. Srormrany CuANDLER still sticks in the New Hampshire senatorial fight, but fails to increase his own strength or de- crease Bingham's following. Mr. Chan- dler will never be John Roach's faithful alley as chairman of thie naval committee in the senate. TaE pay of the city physician is too small for the calibre of the man required in Omaha and the duties demanded of Twenty dollars a month is a his office. mere pittance. A $20 salary is a pre- mium on incompetency and neglect. A OMAHA AND THE CHOLERA. Dr. John E. Summers, one of the old- est and most skilled surgeons in the ar- my, and who has had practical experience during two cholera epidemics, expresses the belief that the scourge will reach our ¢dountry within two months, and that, in such ‘an event, Omaha will be @ heavy sufforer.’ He bases his opinion upon the well-known fact that cholera invariably follows the lines of greatest travel; that it is particularly fatal in limestone dis- tricts, and’ that the fearful disregard. of sanitary regulations in this city_places a heavy premium on epidemics. « With garbage piles festering in our alleys, and filth and corruption sending death-dealing odors from our streets and gutters, while every sanitary ordinance is openly disre- garded by our people and unenforced by our police, Dr. Summers’ view can city of 40,000 is able and ought to pay at | scarcely be contradicted. least four times that amount and exact a strict supervision of its sanitary condi- tion of every portion of the town. ——— Tae New York Z'imes charges that the southern states are being worked by republican politicians to cast a solid vote in the next convention, and souhds this note of warning: *‘It is time that the policy of keeping the party small and weak in nearly half the states—states which cast more than one-third of the electoral votes—were abandoned. The nomination of a president by the repub- lican party is no longer equivalent to an A nomination secured by ‘working these states as rotten buroughs for purposes of representation in a na- tional convention will be in imminent danger of being followed by an electoral If it is true that President Ar- election, defeat. thur is working by means of Federal ap. pointments in the south to secure 306 delegates in the cenvention, and thereby It is high time that a loud note of alarm. should be sounded. We may awake any morning to find that cholera has reached our shores.

From thence to our coast would be an easy transition,” From London the jour- ney is but nine days to New York; from Liverpool only seven. We have little enough time to prepare for prevention or to organize for a contest with this ghast- ly visitor, An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, New York has declarell a rigid quarantine and Chicago has appro- priated $10,000 to be at once expended in cleaning the city.

Personal cleanliness, a careful over sight of house ventilation and drains, a watchful supervision of back yards and cellars and an ingpection which shall be more than skin deep, are remedies for preventing the epidemic which every cit- izon should not hesitate to apply. Ture American Rapid Telegraph com pany have granted the terms of the striking operators, and the Baltimoreand Ohio company will follow suit. With a daily loss of $200,000 and hopelessly de- layed business, the Westorn Union com- pany will be c resign. mpelled to compromise or Western Union Capital, N. Y. Times If there be any provision in the statute or common law of the state of New York for compelling the Western Union tele- graph company to put an end to the enormous injury it is inflicting upou _the business community by its refusal to propose any adjustment of the claims of its employes, it should be applied. 1f the injury be allowed to go on much longer, an effort will undoubtedly be made to secure a decision of that question and, if the law permit, a compulsory set- tlement of the difficulty. Rh»mmhilc, the company's officers must see that the sentiment of the great body of the public is one of indignant condemnation of their course. The action of the telegraphers has, 80 far. been strictly legal, and by no means extreme or' unreasonable. The petition presented to the company was moderate; no ultimatum was announced; no threat was made; the way was not closed to a compromise. ~When the company flatly refused to pay the slight- est attention to this petition, and not only ignored the committee through which it was presented, but declared the intention of breaking up the organiza- tion by which alone its employes could hope to exercise any influence on the company, the telegraphers left their work; but they did so in a perfectly or- derly manner, and they have conducted themselves since in a law-abiding, self- respecting way which speaks much for their intelligence and character. There has been no dictation, no attempt to in- terfere with the property of the com- pany, not even any denunciation of the company, and there has been not the slightest intimidation of any one who sought to take the place of a_striking telegrapher. The strike has been free from every one of the objectionable fea- tures w! usually mark strikes. It has been simply a fair, straightforward effort to get what the telegraphers have thought was just. It has won, and deserves, the respect of all fair-minded men. On the other hand, the company which insolently and arbitrarly refuses to even consider the propositions of men who were just asmuch entitled to present their claims as the company was to put foward its own has been guilty of fre- quent and outrageous violation of its ob- ligations to the community. - It is a well- settled principle of equity, and to a great extent it isa principle of law, that cor- porate franchises mrg with them the ob- ligaton to exercise them for the ureat- est advantage consisting fair profit upon actual capital and expenditure. That principle has been steadily, openly,, and defiantly violated by the Western Union corpora- tion. It 1 to-day, by a subterfuge which is in effect and intent a deliberate con- tempt of the courts of the state, payin a dividend upon millions of stock whicl does not represent actual investment for more than a fraction of its amount. The Herald recently showed by citation from documents, the accuracy of which has not been disputed that the nominal cap- ital of the company, on which it pays a 6 per cent dividend, has been swollen with a by a scries of inflations of the most transparent and = unjustifiable character, Commencing in 1858 with a paid-in capital of less than $400,000, there were scrip dividends in that year of 447.7 per cent; in 1862 there was another of 27.20 per cent; in 1863 there were two more of 133.33 per cent, bringing the nominal capital up to 7,950,760, In these five years the company had paid all expenses of operation and extension of lines, and divided, over and above the ordinary dividends, over $7,600,000. In other words, its profits for five years had been very neatly twenty times its original capital. ince its establishment the company has issued, for the purchase of the Pacific Telegraph company’s franchises, stock to the amount of §1,279,260; for the United were drowned by the flooding of the [pending danger, Every man, woman Diamond mine in Illinois.

Tucson Citizen, Ancient ruing have recently been dis- covered in Sonora, which, if the reports are true, surpass anything of the kind yet found on this continent. The ruins are said to be about four leagues south- east of Magdalena. There is one pyra mid which has a base of 4,350 feet and rises to the height of 750 feet. There is a winding roadway from the bottom lead- ing upon an easy grade to the top, widee- nough for carraiges to pass over, which is said to be twenty-three miles in length, The outer walls of the rondway are laid in solid masonry from huge blocks of granite in rubble, and the circles are as uniform and the grade as regular as they could be made at this date by our best engineers. The wall, however, is only occasionally exposed, being covered over with the debris and earth, and in many places the sahuaro and other indigenous plants and trees have grown up, giving the pyramid the appearance of a moun- tain. -~ To the east of the pyramid a short distance isa _small mountain about the same size, which rises to about the same height, and if reports are true, will prove more interesting to the archwologist than the pyramid. There seems to be a heay- y layer of a species of gypsum about half way up the mountain, whichis as white as snow, and may be cut into any conceiy- able shape, yet sufficiently hard to retain its shape after being cut. In this layer of stone a people of un- known age have cut hundreds upon hun- dreds of rooms from five by ten to six- teen to eighteen fest square. These rooms are cut out of the solid stone 8o ev- en and true are the walls, floor, and ceiling, 80 plumb and level, asjto defy variation. There are no windows in th ms and but one entrance, whichis a ys from the top. The rooms are about eight feet high from floor to ceiling; the stone is so white that it seems almost transparent, and the rooms are not at all dark. On the walls of these rooms are numerous hi- eroglyphics and representations of human forms, with hands and feet of human be- ings cut in the stone in different places. But, strange to say, the hands all have five fingers and one thumb, and the feet have six toes, Charcoal is found on the floors of many of the rooms, which would indicate that they built fires in their houses. Stone implements of every de- seription are to be found ingreat nuimbers in and about the rooms. The houses or rooms are one above the other, three or four stories high: but between each story there is a jog or recess the full width of the room below, so that they present the appearance of large steps leading up the mountain, Who these people were and what age they lived in must be answered, if ans- weredat all, by the *‘wise men of the East.” Some say they were the ancestors of the Mayos, a race of Indians who still inhabit Southern Sonorz, who have blue eyes, fair skin, and light hair, and, are said to be a moral, industrious, and fru- gal race of people, who have written a language and know something of mathe- matics FORTH RAILWAY BRIDGE. THE Edinburgh Correspondence of the London Times. Considerable progress has now been made with the works connected with the railway bridge over the Forth at Queens- forry—the most stupendous engineering work of the kind ever undertaken in this country and one that, in some of its feat- ures, has one equal anywhere else. The usually quiet villages of North and South Queensferry—villages they are, though South Queensferry is a royal burgh of ancient fame—are at present the scene of unprecedented activity. Till within the last few months would have been difficult to find more thoroughly dead-alive places within the bounds of the British Isles. ~Now they are swarming with workmen, and are revelling in the din and turmoil of mani- fold labor, The ground is historic, and has interest for Englishmen, quite as much as for Scotsmen. The Queen, after whom the Queensferrys were named, was the truly English Priucess Margaret, the sister of Edgar the Atheling, who, with her mother and sister and brother, found a refuge and a royal welcome in Scotland when Norman William drove them from England, Malcolm Ceanmore then held his court in the forest tower of Dunferm- line. In welcoming the royal refugees he entertained an angel unawares, for the gentle and saintly Margaret by and b became his Queen. To this day the uhui’: tered anchorage on the north side of the Forth is called after her St. Margarot's Hope, and the little seaport on the south- ern shore is called Port Edgar, if not af- ter the Atheling, then after King Edgar, who was his namesake and his sister's son. Fora Food many years past the scheme of a railway bridge over the Forth at ully two-thirds, und certainly more than one-half, represents nothing but water. By the construction most favorable to the company, the gnnfindg of all the demands of its employes would not reduce its ca- pacity, without advancing rates, to divide at least 10 per cent upon every dollar actu- ally invested. Probably 15 per cent, would be much nearer the true figures. That a company thus managed should inflict in- calcuble injury on the business of the country in order to keep its employes in absolute servitude to its arbitrary dicta- tation is simply monstro: nd the un- checked perpetration of s an outrage a serious strain upon the government under which we live. The New York Sun, Itis said that Mr. Fink, the trunk line commissioner, has determined to ad- vance the rate on' Chicago dressed beef from sixty-four to seventy-seven cents per hundred. This, the dressed meat men complain, is a killing rate, and, if maintained, must make ar end to the business, They probably state only the truth; although very fair reasons are as- signed for the change Some of the roads were determined from the beginning that the refrigerator experiment should not be succesful. The monopoly aimed at by the great op: arators in the west would, if fairly estab- lished, have put the railroads, as well as the eastern consumer, under its feet. It would, like the Standard Oil, have been found in a year or two dictating terms to both the transporter and the public. This is one of the variety of reasons for the stand which the have taken, But when the railroads have destroyed this promising gompetition with the live ] Queens ferry has commended itself to engineers as the best means of affording continuous traffic between the south and the north of Scotland. This idea gained force after the erection of the first Tay bridge. That structure removed for the time one of the obstacles to through traf- io which the natural conformation of the country presented and quickened the de- sire to get rid of the other. Quite na- turally that desire took shape four years ago in a proposal for a Forth bridge under the auspices of Sir Thomas Bouch, chief ineer who was also the engineer of t.h:n?unuul, but unfortunate, Tay bridge. Curiously enough a detailed de- seription of the proposed Forth bridge nm}eued in the Times on Dec. 26, 1870, only four days before the unparalled dis- aster which overwhelmed the Tay bridge with ruin, That catastrophe m it necessary to reconsider the fhm and had been adopted for the Forth bridge; but it did not remove the neces- sity or quench the desire for such a struc- ture. At present the traflic is inwrru\»t- ed by the steamboat rerry—five miles broad—between Grantonand Burn island. Not only is that short passage extremely disagreeable when easterly gales are blow- ing, but it is at all times very inconven- ient to break the journey by the double cluuu’u, first to and then from the steam- er. The great desivableness of direct communication between the two sides of the Forth haying been conceded, the ac- companying plan will show that no better means of effecting the junction could h:r:'loml‘ml:n found in nature than that af- fi y the Quecnsferry passage. A rocky peninsula extends from the north bank for a mile and a half into the chan~ nel of the Forth; and the island of Inch- garvie, half a mile from the northern shore, forms a convenient stepping-ftone toward the southern bank of the estuary. It is hardly possible to exaggerate the ad- vantage which the east coast traffic will derive from the bridging of this natural gap. At present the whole traflic between the sonth and the north Sofcot land must, perforce, pass through the bottle neck which lies between Larbert and Stirling, and which is exclusively in the hands of the Caledonian and other West Const companies. That is practically s monopoly, and monopolies militate against the public interests With the Forth bridge completed the North Bri- tish railway will be able to run direct trains to Perth in an hour or an hour and a half, and to Dundee in less than two hours, Edinburgh anglers will be able to make a straight run to Loch Leven in an hour or a little more, instead of hav ing to spend two or three hours on the wearisome jour with its manifold and provoking changes as at present. Aber deen, Inverness, Wick, and Oban would all be brought nearer to the capital of Scotland, and, therefore, nearer to York and London than they a t present; and that consideration makes the comple- tion of the Forth bridge a matter of na- tional importance. New York's Big Taxpayers. N. V. Letter, ““Who are the largest personal taxpay- ers in the city?” I asked at the Tax Com- missioner’s, “The late Moses Taylor was the largest. He paid tax on 1,300,- 000 of personal property without grum- bling, and his widow now pays the same. On theotherhand, W. H. Vanderbilt last year came here and swore oft every dollar, but soon after came back and said that as the papers and the public were raising such a —- of a row, he would pay tax on one million. Jay Gould only pays tax on §100,000, and Mrs. A. T. Stewart on £500,000. Mrs. Catherine Wolfe pays on $400,000. The Lenox estate pays on 81,000,000; the late _ex-governor E. D. Morgan’s widow on £1.000,000, and the Astor family, all put together, on £3,000,- 000, which isthe largest assessment under one name. _The number of taxpayers is steadily and rapidly decreasing. Last year there were 11,666 personal taxpay- ers, and this year there will not be more than 10,000, and the amount levied is decreasing at a like raf A Goon TMENT. —OUne of oue prominent business men said to us the other “In_the spring my wife got all run down and could not eat anything; assing your store I saw a pile of Hood's Sarsaparilla in the windew, and I got a bottle.
