THE BEE PUBLISHING C0,, PROPS, B. ROSEWATER, Editor. A. H. Fitch, Manager Daily Circulation, P, 0. Box Omaha, A GRAND ovation awaits Mr. Hatch in SL. Louis, for timely suggestion about democratic funerals. Tue people of Chicago propose to paint the town red in honor of the two national conventions. Tar next time the valiant Vance en- countersa Virginia readjuster, he will think it wiso to keep aloof from the son of Henry A. Wise. A tERRIFIU explosion is momentarily expected in St. Louis, owing to the con- flict between the old gas monopoly and $ the water-gas company. Ir may be that those burglars, sluggers and thugs will take a vacation of a month or 80 in order to give those twelve detec- tives some show of earning their salary. It is now an open question whether Senator Vance is still a K. N. (know- nothing) or N. K. (negro-killer), as is charged by Congressman Wise, of Vir- ginia. Ir Farnam street work shall not be unnecessarily delayed. Tur question whether the Barber asphalt company should be made to do- posit ten or twenty per cent of the con- tract price for paving as a guarantee that they will keep the pavement in repair for five years, or whether they should be re- quired to give security by bond is one that should be carefully considered in all If the object of retaining a portion ¢ f the contract price is simply to compel the contractor to do work in such an efficient manner that the streets will ought to its bearings. not ueed ropairing we have a ten year guaranteo, ‘With such a guarantee and ten per cent retained until the expiration of the' ten years, the contractor will find it to his in- terest to use the very best material, and do good work. The most effective way to prevent the use of poor material and the slighting of the work,can undoubted- ly be secured by the appointment of com- petent and honest inspectors, and a strict watchfulness on the part of the board of public works, in its very nature a monopoly. If the property owners petition for asphalt pave- ment the council has no option in the contract for matter, but must asphalt, let the price be what it may, provided it is not too extravagant. Sup- pose the council should impose conditions on the contractor that will keep him out of alarge portion of his money for five or |in ten years, what is to prevent him from raising the price or maintaining a higher price than he would otherwise charge if the work to be done was on a large scale, and onconditionsthat the amount retained should not be over ten or fifteen per It strikes us that the best precau- tion against fraudulent work is compe- tent and honest inspection and a ten- cent.

Amidst the intense excitoment of th over memorablo contest for the presi- doncy in Chicago in 1880, there arose from ono of the seats a lank, hungry- looking, cadaverous, long-laired delegate from the Lone Star State, who, turning his face to that vast assemblage, ex- claimed, *‘What are we here for?” This simple question electrified the whole con- vention, The tall Texan had struck the chord that made the entire political ma- chine vibrate, and from all sides the multitude roared, ‘‘What are we here for?" A nceno very much similar to that pro- duced by tha Texas patriot in the Chi- cago convention transpired in the house of representatives on Monday last when Congressman Hatch, of Missouri, struck the key-note of the political situation when he declared that the democratic party needed a few funerals—funerals in New York, funerals in Indiana, funerals in Ohio. This was a palpable hit which every rational and intelligent person can readily interpret for himself in the light of the romarks which Mr. Hatch made concerning the bour- bons and mossbacks who now weigh down the democracy. Mr. Hatch made himself famous when he bravely proclaimed that the democra- oy must first bury the barnacles and corpses that blockits way to success, be- fore it can ever hope to dominate in this nation, The mission of the democratic party in the last fifteen years has been mainly to find fault with the republican party, and to support policies and prin- ciples which the republicans had cham- pioned years bofore. A funeral in New York that would bury Sam Tilden, and lay out some of the barnacles who are opposed to any aggressivo policy that would commit the democracy to a principle around which the people could rally, would undoubted- ly be of material advantage to that party. A funeral is wanted in Ohio to bury Standard Oil Payne, who is not only a dead weight as a pronounced mono poliat, but commits the party to a do-nothing policy on tanff reform. A fuueral is wanted in Indiana to get rid of Sam Tilden's fence-riding partner, Hendricks, who is always afraid that the democracy will commit a grave error in doing some- thing that might conflict with the con- stitutien of our fathers, The wholesome trath in this demand for funerals is strikingly illustrated by Mr. Hatch when he points with scorn to the cow- ardly course which the democrats pursued in following the footsteps of the republi- cans even in the location of the national convention, The national committee is mainly made up of barnacles and moss-backs, who, as Mr, Hatch says, have not originality and stamina enough to put forth a new idea. The utter dis- gust with which Hatch views his political associates could not be more forcibly por- wrayed than it was in his scathing re- marks, He wanted to infuse more blood in the democracy—a little independence in it— a little originality in it. Befora he would have followed the republican party to Chicago he would have gone to Los Angeles. He would have gone where the thermometer reached 400 degrees below zero or 300 degrees above the boiling point, rather than have gone to Chicago. He would have the democratic party for once possess independence enough to strike out on its own hook. Yes, indeed, a few democratic funerals are wanted, not only in New York, In- diana and Ohio, but in every state of the union, before that party can ever hope to be in tho ascendency, .The meat Hatch's cocoanut is contained in his arraignment of the democ- racy for ita hypocritical and cowardly betrayal of the producers under that well worn plea of vested rights and unconsti- tutional legislation. Rising above the dead level of a political party that cannot be resurrected without a great many fu. nerals, Hatch “defied the intelligence of the house to introduce a measure which had for its object the promotion of the agricultural interest and which sought in the slightest degree to interfere with the operations of those gigantic and almost monarchial corporations which controlled the transportation of the country, with. out hearing some democrat attacked by a qualm of conscience jump on it quicker than a duck on & June bug with conati. the Union Pacific sandstcne ring sought | tutional objections,” to perpetrate last spring in its attempt to nullify the expressed wishes of the prop- erty owners on the cross streets between Tenth and Sixteenth, The Republican *‘The editor of the Bex has stulti- fied himself in retracting a charge which he could not substantiate, and shown a wanton, criminal recklossness in assailing It was not manliness which caused the retraction, o libel suit which says: a character above reproach. but the fact of would have swamped him forever,” The Republican makes itself supremely ridioulous by such talk, dican, It may be best for Mr, Barker and his #o lot this mattor rost where it is | States land oftioes, just because Valen. It may be that Hatch ordered his own political funeral when ‘‘he heaved that brick,” but there is a great deal more truththan poetryin every word he uttered, Look at our own Nebraska de.zocracy, for instance, with its monopoly leaders and its constitutional expounders, who subsist on railroad patronage, travel on railroad passes, and are in league with #he cappers aud cohurts of the railroad barons, Look at the democracy in the " last logislature, when two-thirds of its members sold out on the railroad issue, There was |and voted to surrender their constituents nothing in the comments of Tuk Ber on which a libel suit could be based, The fact is that the deadlock in the board of public works over the letting of curbing and guttering was misunderstood by the reporter, and knowing Mr, Barker to be partial to sandstone we had no rea- son to suspect that the reporter was mis- taken. Within a few minutes after the editor of Tux Brx was advised of the mistake He verbally and voluntarily as- sured Mr. Barker whoa he met on the street, in company with Mr. Kenniston, . that he would cheerfully rectify the imis- take. This has been done without fear of libel suits or sny other calamity fore. shadowed and hoped for by the Jtepub- to pillage and rohbery at the hands of the railway highwaymen who bought them. It may take only a fow funerals in New York, Ohio and Indiana, but it will require a great many funerals in Nebraska before the democrats can ex- pect to inspire confidence with the nAsses. ——— Accokving to Dr, Miller, London is Retting tired of the noise of the stone pavements, Omaha would be willing to submit to the annoyance of stone pave- menta if she could only have the trafiic that makes London streets so noisy, —_— Sexaror MaNvErsoN ought to kuow enough to know net to recommend noto- rious swindlers and frauds to United tine is in dobt to them for political dirty work.

PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE To the Editor of The Bee Being a subscriber of your paper I like to read your editorials and rather admire your straightforward and outspoken manner of getting at facts, if they are hits that hurt a little cometimes. 1 am glad to seo occasionally yonr thoughts and suggestions expressed on the temper. ance question, which is agitating the whole country at the present timne. I belong to the Woman's Christian Temporance union, and wish to say we o not blame the editors nearly as much as they may imagine, for not joining in the practicable crusade against the liquor trafic. We consider that hardly a day passes but the Omaha daily papers do not give a subject for a temperance ser- mon. Why isit! Doyou expecta few women can organize a crusade against these low dens of vice and iniquity alone? Most gladly would we join in any efforts put forward to confine the sale of intoxi- cating liquors (if they must be sold in our city) to the most respectable places. Mr. Editor, should we call a meeting for this purpose, inviting all law-abiding and temperance loving citizens, how many would join usi 1 am sorry to ad- mit I don’t believe we would have a baker's do: Were women allowed the ballut they would try to cast their votes for men who would enforce laws to protect our homes and loved ones. Men that could be relied upon; daring, fearless men, who would fully realize they held the law and power in their trusted right hand, whose one wave held high above the heads of the people of our heloverl city would be like a thousand electric flasnes, inspiring overy one to know that the work was being done well; that the right men were in the right places and not waiting until electod as now and hearing the cry go up for “‘better government.” Why can not our city marshal's sug- gostions regarding police rules be the be- ginning of reform (if needed) if they were found good, and adopted? Why can not some respectable and responsible men be appointed to examine the §1,000 license each saloon is supposed to have, and see if it has been paid, not weekly, monthly or quarterly, but yearly in ad- vance. Would this not be one way to close the hundreds of little low grogeries? The TheaterComique,anotherdisreputable place (I am told), could be closed for sell- ing liquor to minors] Where are the city ofticers you voters trust! Why can not some of the good men who voted for the Slocum law see that Hellena Otts’ rights aro protected? Would to Heaven there were more courageous women and men who, though the curse is not theirs, could come boldly to the rescue. If the law-abiding citizens and voters of to-day will meet us half way we will willingly join our forces to help organize and maintain a better temperance work. Respectfully, Miss C. 8. 8. February 26, 1884, If the temperance men and women expect to accomplish any practical re- sults they should not confine their work to mere agitation, Let them make up their minds once for all that liquor will and must be sold in every city of over 20,000 poople, openly if licensed by law, and secretly if prohibited by law. Ex- perience has shown that the worst evils of the liquor traflic can be suppressed REFORM. most effectively through the restraints of a high license law. If it be true that only a baker's dozen of men and women can be rallied in Omaha to organize a crusade against the vile dens and disor- derly houses whore liquor is sold, the temperance element must be in a very bad way. If onlya baker's dozen of men and women could now be rallied for an organized effort to suppress the dens that are kept open in violation cf law, how would giving the ballot to wo- men help the matter? The ballot in the hands of the women of Wyoming and Utah has utterly failed to suppress the worst evils of the liquor traflic. 1f those courageous and daring temperance re- formers could not rally more than a corporal's guard now, what show would they have for carrying an election? There seems to be lamentable ignorance among temperance reformers concerning our present laws. A dozen women could do just as effective work as a whole army of men in preventing the issue of liconses to disorderly dens. Remonstrance, by petition, and proof to establish the facts set forth in the petition, is all that the law reqires. The signers may be all women, and the board is compelled to rospect their remons- trance just as much as if they were men. We cannot, at this time, go into details to show what a delusion friends of real temperance labor under when they clamor for the ballot for women, as the most effective means to suppress drunkenness, No doubt our city marshal can make a beginning of reform by his new police rales, but like many doctors he is not disposed to take his own medicine. There is no doubt that the collection of the $1,000 license in one payment would compel many saloons to close, but it is an exaggeration that to say it would close hundreds of little, low groggeries, The whole number of saloons in Omaha is less than one hun- dred, and the low groggeries can be counted on your fingers' ends. Thay ought to be closed, however, and the proper way to close them is for atizens to make complaint, A healthy public opiniouwhich springs from the knowledge that it is backed by numbers who mean business, would soon impress itself on our city authorities. Preaching and lec- turing may arouse a sentiment, but they amount to nothing unless the sentiment is put into practical effect in accordance with existing laws, — Tak question now is, since Hatoh has opened up the subject, whether the democrats would feel more comfortable in a place 300 degrees below the freezing point or in a place 300 degrees above the boiling point. eEE————— Brar-Roure Dorsey threatens to make revelations that will destroy the republican party; but the revelations long ago rendered him harmlese, as well a8 well as useless, to any party.

The senate restaurant has become tho club-room of the capitol. With a colored man in charge, the sena- tors now get the best cooking and atten- dance in town. Representatives go over to lunch and senators boast of it outside. I was talking with John Francis the other day. He is the colored man to whom Mr. Edmunds gave the restaurant, with 86,000 or 87,000 a year. ‘‘Do the nenators generally spend much with you?” 1 asked. *‘No,” he went on, ‘'as a rule they como here and eat cracksrs and milk. My milk is most all cream, and they like it. Most of them are here each day, although a few of them have their lunch sent to a committee-room. Sena- tor Morrill always _eats crackers Zand up to the oyster counter and take & dozen on the shell with some ale. Perry Belmont is often here eating raw oysters, Gen. Logan is very abstemious, Mr. Aldrich generally eats a steak. But the best of our custom is from the outsiders, They eat more and higher-priced dinners than the senators, Generous? Well, not many of them. They do not come down to the waiters very handsomely. The poorest men are the most liberal. M. Frye is kind and always has a pleas- ant word for waiters; so does Mr. Gar- land. Gov. Vance has his pockets full of dimes and throws them out liberally. Gen, Logan, he when feels good, is lib- eral, but the tips generally come more from outsiders than senators.,” A large closet full of brandy and wines stands invitingly in plain view, notwithstanding the new ruls that no in- toxicating liquors shall be allowed. They are sold to any one who calls, but Mr. Blair's wild remark that the restaurant is “the National groggery” was a good wa, from the truth. Very few senators drin to excess. Sume of them have a battle or two in their committee rooms. Mr. Hale entertains his friends occasionally with wine-spreads. Pendleton always has some champagne and makes it a point to hand it around freely when the demo- cratic caucus meets, he being chair. man. Up in the back room of the sen- ate committee vn printing Mr. Anthony has something in store. You will often see him and Mr. Edmunds coming from there with a pleased expression. Judge Thurman was Mr. Edmunds’ companion of old. When they went out together the senate blinked sympatheti- cally, Don Cameron invariably took wine with his nice little lunch, served daintly in his private room. Frye and Blair are the only teetotalers in the upper house. But drunkenness is never seen in these days. 1t is now in “‘bed form.” Ten yearsago wine-bibbing was very common. In the senate to-day there is not a man who can be termed a hard drinker to the detriment of his public duties. e —— John Kelly Talking to His Brethern, New York Star, Frankly speaking, The Star does not think that the representatives of 60,000 democrats in this city will go to the next state convention as supplicants for any grace or concession. 1f the party throughout the state feels able to get along without them, all right.
