THE NEW BRIDGE, Aftor » protracted struggle the seuate committee on commerce has unanimously agreed to report in favor of Senator Man- derson’s bill granting a charter for the construction of & railway and wagon bridge between Omaha and Counci Bluffs, This insures the paseage of the bill through the senate. Unless some unforseen obstacles are encountered the bill will pass the house and become a law at the present session. Great credit is due to both of our senatora for this al- most unexpected success.

Such a decision would not stand the test the courts of Judges Neville and Wakeley, and much less in the supreme court of this state. Section 11 of, the law regulating the sale of liquors, reads as follows: *‘All persons who shall sell or give away, upon any pretext, malt, spirituous, or vinous liquors, or any intoxicating drinks without first having complied wich the provisions of this act, and obtained a license as herein set forth, shall for each offense be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction, shall be fined or im- prisoned, &e.’ Now, wo should like to know how any judge or gny court can hold that the sals of liquor without liconse is legal under idromsd fo Trm Ban Pomasinxn Courax, A ook, Soetofos orders Yo be MA0e PAY | 17, der tho regulations governing the construction of bridges over naviga- wbls 86 the order of the company. e varee tan.

In common with a number of other bills, proposing to charter the construction of several bridges on the Missoufi river be- tween St. Louis and Sioux City. Sena- tor Manderson's Omaha bridge bill was roferred to the secretary of war and by him throush the engineer department to Major Suter, who is in charge of the Mississippi and Missouri river improve- ments, with headquarters at St. Louis. Now Major Suter had made a report less than two years ago on a similar bill, in- troduced by Senator Saunders and he could have readily reported back his views within a few days. There certain- ly had been no great change in the con- dition of the river at Omaha since his lust report, nor had the navigation of the Missouri assumed such a magnitude as to require a revision of his ideas about the obstruction to navigation and the dimensions which bridges at this point should have in order to meet his approval. But he kept the bill for weeks and months until finally the urgent requestof oursenators brought him to time. When Suter's report was finally trans- mitted to the senate committee through Sewaror Maxprrsox bas beon heard from. Jay Gonwrhru gone to Cuba to intro- duce his mouse-trap.

It will be composed of 917 delegates. ———— Tux twelve city detectives have not yo t found a clue to the perpetrator of the al- leged outrage on District Attorney God- win, and it is safe to say that they never will. SexaTor VANWyok paid his compli- any circumstances. As a matter of fact our wholesale dealers have laid themselves liable to a fine for every bill of goods that they have sold since the law went into effect. They have fared very leniently indeed, as the city author- ities have ignored the statutory provi- sions in their caso, but we do not believe that it will be to their intesest to con- tinue the traflic contrary to law much longer. The board of education has a duty to perform in this matter in behalf of the public. The city school fund has already lost fully £25,000 by the non-en- forcement of the law. Twenty-five thou- sand dollars would have built us two elegant school houses, and the hundreds of children that are now hud- dled together in overcrowded rooms, or kept away from school entirely for want of accommodations, would have been very comfortably provided for. We need more school facilities, and yet our taxes are 80 high in view of pavements, sew- erage, and other public improve. ments, that the councll would hardly be justified in raising the school tax. The trouble in Omaha is that our public officials are tco timid when the performance of their duty bripgs them in conflict with the inter- ists ot a rich and influential class liko the wholesale liquor dealers, brewers und dis- tillers, ments to Suter before the committee on commerce in & munner which thoroughly oxposed the arrant hypoerisy of the rip- rapper in St. Louis, the war department it was found to be most outrageously partial. In the first place Major Suter, who had only two years ago given his approval of the pro- posed construction of a second bridge at Kansas City, had suddenly come to the conclusion it was very impreper to grant o charter for a second bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs, for fear of obstructing navigation. Major Suter knows that fifty boats run between St Louis and Kansas City where one goes p the river boyond Omaha,, But thero may be two bridges at Kansas City, while Omaha must be content with one. In the next place Major Suter, who knows very well how impractheatle it would be to constract a high wagon bridge at this point, expressed grave objections to a low draw-bridge, and then desired con- gress to impose the condition in the charter that the draw should not be less than three hundred feet in each span. The bridge at Kansas City is only one hundred and sixty feet span, and Suter had, at the same time that he required three hundred feet at Omaha, expressed himself satisfied with two hundred feet spans at Rulo, way below Omaha, To impose upon Omaha the condition of putting in a three hundred feet span was virtually to defeat tho whola bridge scheme, as no capitalists would venture to construct any such bridge. It is very seldom that a commit- toe of congress overrules the recommen- dations of the army engineers, but Major Suter's letters were so outrageously biased that our senators, after a thorough exposure of the unreasonable and unfair BipxNey DiLioN has been vindicated by his old *‘pards” at the old stand, and the usual quarterly dividend on the watered stock of the old credit mobiler monopoly has been deoclared. Tue New York independents are worrying a great deal over the mext Chi- cago platform. In the chaste language of the late General Strickland, it is not morals we are fighting for, but votes. Tax editorial correspondent of the Omaha Republican predicted from Washington that Senator Manderson's bridge Lill would be slaughtered in the committee. As usual he didn't know . what he was talking about. TarLy one for Senator Manderson, His efforts to convince the committee on commerce that a second bridge across the Missouri between Omaha and Council Bluffs was necessary for public conven- ience have proved eminently successful. ———— Mz. VALENTINE'S organist may possess his soul in patience. There were no telegraph operators in the plot to divulge the Valentine dispatch about the circuit judgeship and senatorial succession.

To those who have resided at the Hot Springs for any length of time the excit- ing incidents of that place for the last few weeks no doubt possess considerable interest. Cortain it is that no place in the country has attracted so much atten- tion and occupied so much space in the telegraphic dispatches. All the trouble scoms to have originated between two factions of gamblers, one varty being headed by Flynn, and the other by Major Doran, each of whom had *‘killed his man"’ several times over. Flynn was an old resident of Hot Springs, having lived thera ten years. He was a boss gambler, owning a large establishment, and in addition to his other accomplish- ments he was a shrewd politician and a noted desperado. Doran some few months ago had the audacity to come from New Orleans to Hot Springs, with the avowed intention of opening a rival gambling house, but to this enterprise Flynn objected. A division in the ranks of the sporting fraternity was the result, some enrolling themselves under the er upon the face of the earth, and the daily Horse Shor has nus. pended publication. Thus has the fair fame of Hot Springs been vindi- cated, and the News is on top by a large majority, It proceeds to take ad vantage of its victory by boldly announ. oters “fl( t U ht of way to the Burlington & ssourd road into our city, but the sald coun- 1 utterly ignored the will of the people, s favo ably expressed.— | Independent, Grand lsland points with just pride to the finest opera house, the hest echool facilities, the largost and best steam flouring mills, the finest machine shops. the best Masonic tem- ’\le.iflm:lmnllnu .fl'\rv‘l'.ilhfl finest and best i i i - |eanipped postottice, and three of the best ving that Hot Springs will no longer tol ks to be found 1 any town of Its sive in erate the presence and avocation of fa- [ Nebraska. kirs, pickpockets, and thugs who have — 80 long made that famons resort a ‘‘holy o |““l"‘:\l"'v- " T . ere are now six daily trains carrying pas- terror.” The News churges the Horse | ungery hetwesn Deatrico and Omaha @ Shoe with being run in the interest of | Water works are again talked of.

There is no doubt that the construction of this bridge will prove a great benefit to both Omaha and Council Bluffs, as the present facili- ties for intercourse between the twocities are utterly inadequate to the demands of the public, and the accommodations are anything but satisfactory. sist upon discharging him, we shall be be sorry, but we can’t help it. Oxiy four weeks remain before the city election, and it is high time for our beople to consider the qualifications of candidates for the city council. Unless the better class of citizens exert them- selves and take more interest in munici- pal affairs than they usually' do, there will be no improvement in the organiza- tion of the city government. What Omaha needs and must have in the ocity council are men who have property in- tereats, and who are honest and capable and possessed of business qualifications— men who will serve the interests of the poor as well as the rich, We hope that such men will consent to become candi- dates, even if it requires some personal sacrifice on their part.

At its last meeting the board of educa- tion discussed the propriety of enforcing the collection of $1,000 per annum from the wholesale liquor dealers. A com- mittee was appointed to take this matter uader advisement and report at the next meeting. Inasmuch as the efliciency of our schools must depend upon the means which the board of education has at its command, it becomes a matter of busi- nese with the board to see to it that every dollar which rightfully belongs to the school fund from fines and licenses should be collocted. Before the high license law went into effect every whalesale liquor dealer was compelled to take out a license and pay $100 per annum, just the same as any retail dealer. For the past two years and a half these concerns have not paid a dollar. There 1s no re- spectable lawyer, whose opinious are worth quoting, that will contend for a moment that the present law exempts any dealer in liquor from the penalties for failure to take out a license, There ie not the slightest distinotion made in the statute between the man who retails liquor by the glass and the dealer who sells it by the barrel If there is any hardship by imposing a tax of $1,000 a year upon li- quor dealers, it falls much more heavily upon those who have but very small cap- ital with which to carry on their business, while the wholesale dealer is amply able to pay this tax. It 1s said that a decision has been rendered at some time in one of band of picked followers opened fire with Winchester rifles on Flynn and his inti- mate associates as they were driving through the street in a carriage, and killed two or three of the party, as well as wounding several innocent persnns, Flynn, however, escaped uninjured. The Flynns and Dorans were both arrested, and the town, thrown into the most in- tenso excitement, passed into the control of a law and order committee of citizens, The details of this succession ef exciting ovents of lawlessness and bloodshed were given to the couutry through dispatches sent out by the associated press agent, Moses C. Harris, who is charged with highly coloring his telograms in the in- terest of the Flynn faction. Tt seems tnat Flyon owned the Daily Horseshoe, of which Harris was tho editor. A prominent citizen of Omaha, who is now taking daily baths in the healing waters of Hot Springs, has sent us a copy of the opposition paper, the Hot Springs Daily News, which has for its motto, in big capital letters under its head, the following sentiment: *‘Speaking as the spirit moves us; trusting in God, the purity of our intention, the justice of our | h cause, and our own right arm.” The News is evidently the great religious daily of Hot Springs, and the organ of the law and order element. In view, however, of the recent occur- rences, we would er and more pointed motto for that sheet, namely *Trust in God, and keep your powder dry.” The copy of the News which has beon sent us, is a **half sheet, b p. m- edition." It had been evidently gotten out to fire a parting shot at Mose Harris, she unfortuuate editor of the uulucky Horse Shoe, The News exultingly makes the orushing: an- nouncement: ! ““Gonk ror Hix Countiy's Gooo. — Mose Harris, the editor of the Horse Shoe and the agent of the Asscciated Press at this place, who has so wilfully sud maliciously villified our best eitizens and misrepresented facts, was escorted to the truin this afternoon by the chief of police, through orders from the citizens' Gommittes, to go hence and return nul more," Poor Mose is now a friendless wander- suggest a brief-| g The Nebrasks City Press of a recent date contains the following letter, which explains itself: U. 8.
