GOVERNOR SHERMAN, of Iowa, wants the women of Towato vote. If Governor Sherman had liyed in Utah and Wyo- ming a few years he would probably re- vise his opinion ot purifying politics through woman suffrage. No orrense is taken when Tue Bee mentions a councilman as being con- nected with a job or a steal, but when it charges that he was a stockholder in the defunct Omaha Union, it becomes a serious matter, and is considered ground for a libel suit. A areAr deal of inquiry is now being made concerning the presidential prefer- ences of prominent persons. But few persons of prominence are willing to di- vulge their presidential preferences. Most of them are on the fence ready to jump off on the side of the winning man. —— We are horritied to learn that a mem- ber of the council threatens a libel suit against this paper because we connected his name with the ownership of stock in & newspaper abortion, which was made tho official organ, We don’t blame the gentloman a bit. Every time a man gains notorioty by committing some terrible orime, whether Jjustifiable or not, the museum man is promptly on hand with an offer. Sergeant Mason is now on exhibition in a Phila- delphia museum, and James Nutt had hardly been acquitted before he received an offer to put himself on exhibition, ——— Tue grammatical dude of the Republi- can tells us that the newspapers of Omaha, ten yoars ago, were ‘‘amply ade- quate.” If the redundant verdant, who prides himself so much upon his gram- mar, would lay aside his syntax and pick “up his dictionary, he would make himself more intelligible and less ridiculous. He picked up all he knows in some little country grammar school. Grammar will bo the death of him some day. Poor thing, he needs milk f Ee— T consumers of gasin Omaha should carefully read the artiole on high gas bills which is reproduced in our losal columns xom the New York Zvening Post, They will find in that article a solution of the mystery of how gas bills have lately been swelling in size although the consump. ‘tion has not been increased and the rates - are lower, Before this article reached . Omaha the editor of Tue Bre expressed to Mr, Falconer almost the identical ‘views presented by the Kvening Post megarding the effect of water gas upon ~ metres and burners. Water gas being so b lighter than coal gas, it naturally fol that the burners, which are d to coal gas, are altogether too usy for water gas, the pressure from the being 80 wmuch greater. A reduc- tion in the size of the burners will doubt. Adess rosult 1 & reduction of the gas bills rithout decreasing the power of the light, 8 1ok to the interest of the gas com- s e Tike *an yoars M Rosewater has boon engagod in publishing & newspaper in this city, For a much longer tirmo Mr, Egra Millaed_has been an Omahs banker of acknowledged shrewdness, capacity and judgemont. When Mr, Rosewater e rked in journalism ho had no money, no education to speak of,and was in no way fitted, no far an outside circumstances are concerned to achiove success in the profession he had adopted, In a nowspaper way he oceapied, at that time, a barren field. Omaha was a small and a not conspicnously successful city,and the newspapers which it had were amply ade- quate. If any business man of cormon sense had been asked what he thought of Mr. Rose- water's venture, the answer would have been that it was simply nonsense. There is no bank in this city to-day with a capital of over $250,000 and in the past ten years, during which every other interest has doubled or trebled, the business of banking has by no means increased proportionately that is to say, while tho volumo of business has_undoubtedly increased, the number of banks has not kept paco. ' Notwithstanding the universal depression in business circles we have banks in Omaha for whose stock has beon offered $2,10 on the dollar, and the holders have refused to sell, This' seems to demon- - | is about $1,600,000 larger than A 7 AT, CORRAL 5K 5. A 00T RSSO ¥ 451 |l THE DAILY 'BEE-'-OMAHA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1834, oapital of Omaha is over 000 | der struggle he was som moro than that of St. Joseph. Omaha has as many national banks as Des Moines, and about the same number of private banks, with more than £100,000 of bank- ing capitalin excess of Des Miones. Omaha has the same number of national banks as Donver, and one more private bank, but Denver has nearly $200,000 more banking capital. This is not at all surprising as Denver is a much larger and wealthier city. three more national banks than Kansas City, and the whole number of banks in Kan- sns City is no greater than the number in Omaha. although her banking capital that of Omaha, In Chicago there is one na- tional bank to every 50,000 people. In Omaha there is one to every 10,000. No other comparison can be made between Omaha and Chicago as there is no Omaha has com- strato the ability of the city to support an- other bank,such as Mr. Ezra Millard purposes to start,—Republican. There are nono 8o blind as those who will not see. The Republican persists in throwing personalities into a question purely financial and economic, and we are compelled to moot tho issue as it is foroed upon us, When Edward Rose- wator embarked in journalism, he had ample means for publishing a small af- ternoon daily, and if the concern had not been destroyed by fire during the pariton between the commerce of the two citios. It is safo to say that Chicago doos more business in one day than Omaha does in o whole year, and yot Omaha is a very prosperous and growing city, and will compare favorably with any other city of equal population. With all these facts before us, will any intelligent person contend that Omaha needs another bank. KEYSER'S KONUNDRUMS. first year he would have met with no em- barrassment. His capacity, measured by the amateur standard, may have been vory small, but the succoss he has achioved shows that thirteon yoars ex- perience in the school of practical tele- grapy, coupled with reportorial work for Chicago, St. Louis and New York dailies, gave him a better education for journalism than can be obtained by four or five years attendonce in » third-rate country academy. When Tue Ber was started there was no afternoon paper in Omaha, and the blanket morning dailies did not fill the public want, Eight afternoon ventures have been started since Tur Bee has occupied the field, and every one has failed. The editor of the Zepublican came from Fremont with ample capital to rival Tue Beg, but he found no pa- tronage for his afternoon sheet, which he soon laid away in the journalistio graveyard, There is no more need of another bank in Omaha at the present time than there is of another daily pa- per, or another opera house. It is true that $250,000 is the highest capital of any Omaha bank, but it is notorious that at Jleast two of our banks have availa- ble capital ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000. The reason why tho cap- ital stock has been kept low is to avoid taxation, but the capital is there and al- ways will be. It isnot true that the number of banks has not kept pace with the growth of Omaha. Within less than two years we have added the Nebraska National, the Savings bank, and two pri- vate banks, besides a loan and trust com- pany, which does a large business. These banks, together with the old established concerns, certainly afford all the facilities for banking which Omaha will need for the next ten years, no matter how much she grows. The public interest is sub- served by solid and prosperous institu- tions rather than by a Iarge number of poorly patronized banks, Right here let us state that our views on the propriety of establishing another bank in Omaha have not been inspired or suggested by bankers or otherfinterested parties. Our conclusions are such as would be reached by any practical business man who has given the subject due consider- ation. Since our expression upon this matter has called forth some discussion we have taken pains to ascertain the relative standing of Omaha and other cities in tho banking business. By reference to the bank directories it will be found that the capital and surplus of the five national banks of Omaha aggre- gate $1,341,600. It is fair to estimate the aggregate capital of our three private banks at $75,000. That would make the aggregate banking capital of Omaha, $1,416,600. The city of St. Joseph, Missouri, with a population of very nearly the same as Omaha and a very heavy jobbing business, supports two national banks with an aggregate capital and surplus of $200,000, and three in- corporated banks with an aggregate cap- ital of $300,360, making the total bank- ing capital for St. Joseph, §500,360. Des Moines, the largest and wealthiest city of Iowa, isa great money center. That city has five national banks with an aggregate capital of $1,085,000. Her four private banks, added to the national banks, swell the total banking capital of Des Moines to §1,350,000. The city of Denver has at least 15,000 more population than Omaha, and in point of wealth is far ahead of this city. Denver has five na- tional banks, with an aggregate capital of $1,440,000, and two state banks with #177,000, making a total of §1,617,000 banking capital. Kansas City has a pop- ulation of over 80,000 more than Omaha, and her commercial transactions more than treble those of Omaha, That city has two national banks with aggre. gute capital of $765,000, and five state and private banks, with an aggregate capi- tal of $2,131,000, making the total capital of Kansas City banks $2,806,000, And now let uslook at Chicago, the second commercial metropolis in America, and the greatest grain and cattle market in the world, with a population more thau twelve times that of Omaha, Chicago with all her wealth and population has only thirteen national banks and fifteon state and private banking houses. The thirteen national banks of Chicago have a capital of $14,362,000, and the private banking capital is not made public, Summarized, the above shows the fol. lowing facts: There are three more baoks in Omalis than there are in Bt Joseyh, and the banking About three weeks ago a communica- tion signed “‘Oscar Keyser,” was receiv- ed from Bellevue, Nebraska, Mr. Key- ser addressed some very pointed and per- tinent questions to the Omaha Organ of the Union Pacific, and they were pub- lished inTie Bex withoutcomment. Now, it happens that tho party who had writ- ten this communication signed the name of Oscar Keyser without authority. Mr. Koyser, fearing the wrath of the railroad bosses, hus come forward to deny that he had written the article in question, to the great delight and relief of the brass-collared gentry. No sooner had Keyser denied the paternity of those naughty cenun- drums than the Lincoln Journal, which always yelps and barks loudest in the monopoly kennel, set up a howl over the so-called forgery, and Keyser's conun- drums are pronounced ‘‘more than usual- ly idiotic.” The Omaha Republican promptly takes up the refrain as follows: ““Oncar Keyser rose but did not say very much while he stood. He eught to have instituted a little investigation, especial- ly so when Tue Bee seemed so slightly concernod over the forgery of the gentle- man's name, and the deception practiced upon itself.” Mr. Oscar Keyser need not be asham- ed of having his name appended to the article which is pronounced so0 unusually idiotic. The author, who- ever he may be, is neither a fool nor an idiot, and may bo pardoned for the impo- sition and so-called forgery. For the benefit of the Siameso twins, the Repud- lican and Journal, we herewith repro- duce Keyser's conundrums and ask them to point cut wherein they are ‘‘more than usually idiotic:” BeLLyug, Neb., January 3, 1884, —Tn to-day’s Republican I notice in its edi- torial columns a letter concerning ra road extortions, and comment, as made by the editor of that concern, stating that the Zepublican wanted to get at the truth of the business. Now, 1 have a few questions to propound to that cstablishment, and a further ouriosity to know whether they will evade them in the same inconsiderate manner as they have the gentleman from Tekamah. To be brief: 1. Why can a merchant secure a car- load of freight cheaper from Baltimore, Maryland, to Omaha, than from Omaha to Sidney, in this state? 2, Why is it merchants of Papillion and Springfield can haul their freight cheaper by wagon than by the Union Pa- cific and Missouri Pacitic railroads? 8. What is the reason the Burlington & Missouri will not receive froightfor in- termeodiate stations along its line when shipped by way of the Missouri Pacificto Louisyille? 4. Why is it some grain dealers can ob- tain a rate one-third off when others have to pay the fixed price? 6. Why is it they withhold amounts duo the various road districts, and place it in the hands of men who thus get fat, on this new method of working out rail- road road-tax? 6 What is the reason the last legisla- ture didn't take up this railroad question 'fl handle it for the benefit of the peo- plo 7. Why do congressmen, judges, edit- ors and members of the legislature ride on annuals? 8, Can you inform the people of Ne- braska why it is there is not one cent of taxes collected on over 400 miles of side- wack in this state? 9. Do you know why it costs more to sond a bushel of corn from Albion, Boone county, to Omaha, about 150 miles, than it does from Omaha to Chicago, nearly 600 miles? . 10. Why is it the railroads run the pol- itics of the western counties through which their road passes? 11, Wh’ was it they discharged anum- ber of their conductors and left a foul odor around their names, then to turn around and make the biggest thief among them a railroad superintendent? 12, Why is it they control state con ventions by the aid of their henchmen, aad allow John M, Thurston and Chas, J, Greene to assume who shall be the successful men, — Somesony by the name of Dobbs has been appointed register of the Beatrico land office. When was Dobbs a member of the Nebraska legislature, and whoin did he support for United States senator! If he has not served in the legislature, why this abrupt departure from estab- lished precedent? e Dr, Urrer adjudges John Brown to have been “‘a felonious poltroon, an im- poster, and an assassin;” Senator Ingalls declares him to have been “a hero, patriot, and a martyr.” Both of these great debaters are partly correct. Brown was a border ruffian, inspifed by great hate towards slavery and slave holders. He was not by any means & poltroon, becauso he knew no fear. In his bor- — 08 compelled | the road in the matter of reductions on to play the imposter on the ground that the end justified the means. In his premature effort to wipe out slavery he had to become an assassin and that made him a hero and a mattyr. Junee Pavsox, of Illinois, predicts that Logan will have Illinois as solid in the next convention as Grant had it in the last. Judge Payson forgets that Grant didn't have Illinois solid in the last convention. It was packed for him by Logan, but ousted more than one-third of the Illinois dele- eates who had no rightful claim to seats, and Blaine delegates took their places, the convention WEST OF THE MISSOURI, There are a number of railroad rumors floating through the vress of the state, which cannot bo craced to any reliable source. Surveying parties are skipping around lively, and the speculative ther- mometer rise rapidly with their approach to a town only to fall flat the moment they move away. The cold weather has no apparent effect on these chain gangs. Thoy are as Geaf as posts to appeals for information, and they leave a trial of mystery everywhere. The Croighton Pioneer recently stum- bled onto a schemo which convinces it that the Union Pacifiic has its hawk eye on Knox county. “We are not a phophet,” says The Pioneer, “‘but ven- turo the assertion the the Union Pacific company intend to build a branch from Norfolk north, and that it will run through Knox county somewhere be- twoen Oreighton and Hartington, and probably follow up the Elkhorn as far north as township 92, range 2 or 3 west, to intersect the large tract of land re- cently purchasod by the Union Pacific company in this county, as railroads us- ually have a purpose in purchasing such large tracts of land, “The question_arises, what does the Union Pacific railrond company want of 20,000 or 25,000 acres of land in Knox county, if they are not going to utilizo it nome way, Should the Union Pacific company build a railroad into Knox county the coming season, it will cause the rapid sottlement of the county.” The plans mapped out by the fertile and far-seeing brain of Mr. A. E. Touza- lin, when manager of the B. & M. rail- road in Nebraska, are being carried out to the letter. These included besides the Denver line, the short cut from Hastings southwest, now being built, the extension to Nebraska City and that to, Nemaha City, through Nemahs, Johnson and Gage counties, both of which are completed. The last link in this great system of rail- way, which cover the South Platte coun- try like a spider’s wed, will be a second bridge over the Missouri river at either Nebraska City, Rulo or Nemaha City. The coapany have already secured u charter fora bridge at Nebraska City, which will doubtless be utilized at an ear- ly day. Semator Van Wyck recently ir- troduced a bill in coggress for a bridge at Rulo, which, it appears, is intended also for the B, & M. The company engineers have been engaged at this point for some time past_searching for rock bottom in the river bed. On the east side they have found a firm, rock bottom ata depth of about one hundred and thirty foet. They arenow at work on the west side and will soon ascertain at what depth the piers for the bridge will have to go. 1t is generally, believed, and appears to be the opinion of the employes of the railroad company, that a splendid bridge will be stretched across the river at that Eoint during the coming summer. If such e the case, the distance from St. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago to the moun- tains would be reduced to & minimum. This would not seriously injure any of the northern towns on the B. & M., as the derive no particular benefit from through traffic, which would naturally go over the lower and shorter route. There is considerable excitement in all the mining camps over the reports from the Coeur d’Alene (pronounced Corda- lene) mountains in northern Idaho, As usual the reports are highly colored for the reason that the fow persons who have returned from there were too en- thusiastic to be disenterested. A gentle- man who visited that region last summer and who staked a claim, informed the writer that he did not see any extraordi- nary riches there. He remained there soveral weeks, but fearing the severity of a winter in the mountains, he returned to civilization after disposing of bis claim for a trifle. He believes a_syndicate of miners are engineering a big boom for a rogion almost inaccessible and that the railroads and towns adjacent are assisting by highly colored accounts of the wealth tobo found there. The only way to reach that camp in winter is by snow shoes, and all necessaries of life, prin- cipally bacon, flour and whisky must be carried by pack mules, There are no wagon roads yet and the best route is from the west side. It is believed that there will be 30,000 people in the dig- gings the coming summer. Already miners are gathering in towns along the line of the Northern Pacific, awaiting favorable weather in the spring to get into the El Dorado, and many of the most fearless and hardy have braved the ctorms of the mountain passes and are already on the ground building cabins and making preparations for ear y spring operations. As an offset to this con- servative report, the following letter from a miner will show the golden side of the picture: *“To begin with, it is the richest thing I ever saw. 1 have taken in all the mining camps on the coast. There are only three or four claims open asyet. In what is called the Widows' claim they clean up from $100 to $176 per day with eight men at work, There are two miners in the gang; the rest are hay pitchers, The other claims make about 85 or 810 per day. Now the bed- rock is frozen so hard that they don’t get one-half of the gold. It beats any- thing I ever saw. All the hills around 'QU run from 20 cents up, to the pan. Five hundred feet above the creek the best claims, so far, are on Prichard creek. It is located for twenty miles. A lot of Leadville mining men came in lately. ~After looking the mines over they laid out a town for over a mile in length, Freight is $20 per $100 pounds. For forty miles the river is full of boats frozen in with goods—mostly whisky." The Utah & Northern railway contin- ues to have all the freight business it can ‘handle, in Montana, though the passen- ger travel is light, The liberal policy of salt, otc., has made it many friends in the Butte district, and the uniform cour- tesy of the local managers has still fur- ther added to its popularity with the peo- ple. While the present policy is contin- usd, both the company and the common unity are benefitted. ~The success of the Utah & Northern railroad and the fact that it is the best paying branch line of the Union Pacific or any ether system in that country, is a strong advertisement for the great camp of Butte, Cattle stealing in the ranges of the west has reached sufficient proportions to alarm stock men, The different associa- tions have employed men whose special duty is to watch all places where cattle are sold, especially the slaughter houses, and butcher shops of the towns and cities. Several noted thieves have been recently run down in Wyoming and Colorado, and they will be vigorously prosecuted by the cattlemen, There was a time when the loss of a cow or two was considered too trifling to investigate. The thieves grew bolder, and thefts became of 80 common occurrence that the cattlemen threw off their indifference and began to keep a lookout for prowlers, Stock stealing can never be entirely stopped, but a few pros- ecutions now and then will do much to intimidate the robbers. PRI T e Representative Smith, of the Wyoming legislature proposes to inaugurate radi- cal changes in the jury system of the ter- ritory, provided a majority of that body agree with him, Ho proposes to abolish the professional juror, who make a living by hanging around the court houses of the country. Too ignorant to read or too old_for any other ocoupation, they generally prevert justice through_incom- petence not to say corruption. Fifty or seventy-five years ago the jurysystem, as at present constituted, was admirable, Men were more equal in character and intelligence and homogeneous in nation- ality. Now the condition of affairs is changed radically. Seven or eight na- tionalities are found in nearly every com- munity; and even more in the west. As many nationalities as there are, there are more degrees of intelligence and char- acter. The result is that men of neither good judgement nor too much honesty are on the juries everywhere. Mr. Smith’s remedy is to elect a num- ber of men, say one in every.ten voters, from whom both grand and petit jurors are to be chosen, with double the pay of jurors at present. The privilege of chal- lenge to be limited, especially the per- emptory challenge of twenty-four jurors by the prisoner in a criminal case. He would also do away with the foolish cur- riculum of questions to a juror, as,‘‘if he had ever heard or read of this case,” and others equally nonsensical. By this means it is believed jurors could be se- cured from the sensible, observing, thinking, honest men. There will then be more justice and fewer appeals and expensive delays, The Denver & New Orleans railroad company has brought suit against the Union Pacific in the United States cir- cuit court of Colorado, for §1,000,000 damages alleged ito have been sustained by the former through the refusal ef the latter to pro rate with it on the same terms as with the Rio Grande. The Now Orleans road has been driven to the verge of bankruptey by the opposition roads, but its grit and_fighting qualities were 80 effective that all barriers hereto- foro crected have been leveled to the ground. The present action is based on the fact that the Union Pacific Railway company charge the Denver & Now Or- leans the same tariff from Denver to Omaha as is charged to shippers on the Denver & Rio Grande from Pueblo to Omaha. This charge necessitates the Denver & New Orleans to carry freight for nothing from Pueblo to Denver, or elso rofuse_to take freight consigned to points on the line of the Union Pacific. The Denver & New Orleans state that the loss they have sustained, with the damaga done to that line by reason of being unable to ship freight over the Union Pacific is §1,000,000, and for that sum thoy sue. caso covering similar points, in which the Denver & New Orleans is plaintiff and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fo defendant, is now before the United States supreme court, and the former company, anticipating a verdict in its favor, started the present one to roplenish its treasury at an early day.

A vacancy occurring at West Point when he was 17, Sheridan applied to the member of congress from his district for the appointment, The answer inclosed his warrant as cadet, and directed him to report at West Point, June 1, 1848, He brushed up his spelling and grammar,and passed his preliminary examinations with- our trouble, \\'hanrgu entered the acad- emy he knew nothing of algebra, geome- try or any of the higher branches of study. But Cadet Henry W. Slocum, since major general of volunteers and member of congress from New York, was his room mate.
