Box 458 Omaha, Neb. —_— Anex r there enough saloon-keepers in the city council? — PERHA]':DU& Smith will think it ad- visable hereafter to attend strictly to county surveying. — Dirrosas have been issued to several B. & M. conductors, entitling them to practice elsewhere, Tue saloon-keepers of Omaha are very modest. They want to fill only five out of the six places in the city council. —e Horwax, the war-horse from Dakota, was not present when Mr. Morton was endorsed by the state democratic com- mittee. Tk election is near at hand, and no time should be lost in the selection of honest, capable and energetic candidates for the city council, Tue Omaha Republican’s honest ad- vice to the farmers on the railroad ques- tion reminds us of the advice which the fox, in the fable, gave to the raven when he wanted his cheos: Tue scrubs, hoodlums, and ward bum- mers are preparing as usual to run the city election, and it looks now as if thoy were going to be successful in nominating and electing their candidates, Tuu registration of voters this spring is a bigger farce than it was last fall. The registration notices and lists are being published in a readerless sheet, and hardly anybody knows anything about the important matter. As usuAL the Nebraska democratic committee did not represent the senti- ment of the demucratic masses. When the vote on Morton was taken, nearly two-thirds of the committee exhibited unmistakabletrade marks of the Unien Pa- cific and B, & M. on their coat lappels, —— Tur present indications are that the next city council will not be much of an improvement over the old one, If busi- ness men will not interest themselves sufficiently to securs good candidates and elect them, they can blame no one but themselves for the poor timber with which the council is composed. Tue Honorable B. . B. Kennedy says that Omaha has been afflicted with gray-backs as well as moss-backs. Oh, yes, we have had a number of old-timers in Omaha who, although they hailed from Now England, like Mr. Kennedy, were gray backs during the war to all intents and purposes, excepting that they did not have the couraze to go down south and fight with the gray-backs, J. SrerLING MokToN 18 happy now. His resignation as chairman of the dem- ocratic state committee, which was a mere blind, was not accepted as a matter «fcourse. All Morton want:d wasan en- dorsement, and he took this way of getting it. This means that Morton and {Miller are to be delegates to the national demo- cratic convention, notwithstanding Mil- ler, like the railroads, is “‘out of polixics,” Wiues Mr, Vining returns to Omaha he will probably not come back as commis- sioner of the tripartite pool, but as pro- fossor of philology. The Chicago C'ur- rent devotes three solid columns to the forthcoming book! which Mr. Vining has in proparation, the title being **An In- glorious Columbus.” roor Christopher! heis to be robbed of his laurels, and some miserable pig-tail Chinaman is to be substituted by Mr. Vining as the first discoverer of America. Thero are more things in hoaven and earth, Horatlo, ‘Than are dreamt of In your philosophy, e——— Tae laboring men should come forward and take part in the ward caucuses and the primaries and assist in nominating respootable men to the city council, and sit down on the ward bummers and hoodlums. The workingmen aro deeply interested in having an honest and effi- cient city government. Nearly a million dollars are to be expended this summer in public improvements, and they want to see this money honestly and judicious- ly spent. They are interested as much as anybody in seeing that the contracts are honestly performed, and that the city gets value received. To sccomplish such a desirable result it is necessary to elect the right kind of councilmen. We hope the workingmen i'nl.ll turn out in full force I:flj take raue rimaries el b Let them p:n'ur':ul::iumm good :::::t wmen from their own ranks, and they will receive *he support of the busihess men, seem unwilling themselves to be but who will vote for the ot men that are prescuted. - 20 | termined from the outset to disagree with MOSS-BACKS AND OBSTRUCTIONISTS. Honorable B. E. B. Kennedy has ad- dressed an open letter to the mayor and city council of Omaha setting forth the ronsons why ho has acted as an obstruc: tionist to the proposed change of grade on Farnam street. The bland and child- like admissions which Mr. Kennedy makes prove him to be one of the worst old moss-backs that has ever afflicted Omaha since the days of '64. Ho is just the kind of a a man that we often find in a panel of twelve jurymen, who is de the eleven other jurors, and like the historic donkey refuses to move or to bo moved. Mr. Kennedy admits at the outset that he is opposed to the proposed improvement. Why did he not have the decency to say he was opposed to it before he accepted a place on the board of appraisers! But Mr. Kennedy fortifies himself by quoting that eminent engineer, Doc. Smith, as authority for condemning the proposed change. Now, Doc. Smith is just about as much of an engineer as a common fence carpenter is a cabinet maker. It is high time that this chronic fault-finder and engineering quack be dropped as high authority on questions of civil engineering. ~ This man Smith has boen for over a quarter of a contury a common surveycr, whose experience is limited to laying out connty roads and surveying farms and town lots In this business his competency is admitted. But what does he know about waterworks, sowerage, drainage, pavements, paving materials, grades and the many other de vices which are required in large cities? He has beon cooped up in Omaha for y-five yoars, and his ideas about public improvements are of the moss-back order, which wero thought to bo the thing in some ‘seventh-rato town twenty years before the war, But Smith is one of those persons who imagine they know everything and never tire of condemning things they know nothing about. The moanest vart of it is that these moss-back surveyors use just such old fossils as Mr. Kennedy to ventilate their spleen, ignor- ance and malice. There may be just such moss-back engineers in other cities, but no intelligent man would (uote them as authority. Having made up his mind in advance to defeat the improvement of our prin- cipal thoroughfare, Mr. Kennedy con- jures up preposterous assumptions to sustain his position as an obstructionist. Ho sees in his mind's eye that this whole matter is a scheme to enrich certain spec- ulators in vacant property along Farnam streot ‘‘at the cxpense of property owners who have built their humble homes and costly edifices, which go to make up the substantial wealth and beauty of this beautifully-lozated city.” Now, we should like to know who thoso veople are. Between Sixteenth and Seventoenth all but one property owner, Mr. Burley, have waived damages, and Mr. Burley will not be ruined by a change that is sure to convert his resi- dence property into business lots within three years. Betweon Seventeenth and Fighteonth streets all damages have been waived with the exception of a vacant corner lot at Seventeenth streot. The owners of lots between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streots are the ones who will be more or less damaged, but none of them will be ruined or driven from their homes. The fact of it is their property will be enhanced in value almost double by the new grade, even if they should pay for the improvement. Whilo it is true that no person can bo doprived of property without just com- pensation. therefor the law expressly directs that in appraising damages for public improvements the benefits shall be considered. Mr. Kennedy, however, oyerrules the law, and insist that bene- fits shall not be considered. A striking illustration of his judgment as an ap praisor is furnished by his estimato of damages to Chris. Hartman at $7,000, when a very competent architect says that $1,200 will pay for a new brick basement for Hartman's framo block, and leavo the place in better condition than it is now, not taking into considera- tion the future rise when it is converted into business property, It is just such beautiful estimates of imaginary damages which make up Mr. Kennedy's aggrogate of §80,000 between Sixteenth and Thir- tioth streets. If Cincinnati, Pittsburg, THE DAILY BEE--OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1884, to the city council goes out of his way to fling dirt at the editor of this paper, but the mayor and city council will consider his scurrilous inuendoes irrelevant, Mr. Kennedy stands convicted of of being an obstructionist of the meanest kind. He accepted the position of appraiser for no other purpose than to defeat the improve- ment of Farnam street, and when an indignant community resents the out- rage, he tries to to sneak behind Doc. Smith and a pretended regard for people who have built their humble homes. THE HAND OF SUTER. The hand of Major Suter has again been exposed. When the proposition to build another bridge at Omaha came up, MajorSuter,whoistheengineerincharge of the Missouri and Mississippi river im- provements, sought to defeat the enter prise by recommending that the span of the draw shonld be 300 feet in the clear on each side of the pivotal base, virtually requiring a span of over 600 feet. Such a span would be impossible at this point, and would defeat the project. Major Suter has shown himself to be the mere tool of the railroads. His adverse report on the new Omaha bridge was directly in the interest of the Union Pacific railroad, This little scheme of Major Suter, however, was too evident to the congressional committee which unanimously agreed to report in favor of a bridge at Omaha with a span 160 fect in the clear. i Now another railway bridge is wanted at Leavenworth, and in this case, as at Omaha, Major Suter endeavored to de- feat it by span three hundred feet in the Major Suter, however, has again boen “eat down upon.” In reporting the bill permitting the construction of the rail road bridge across the Missouri river at Leavenworth, the house commerce com- mittee has submitted tae following stave- ment: The provisions of the bill are approved by the secrotary of war, except that he recommends that the spanof the draw shall be 300 feet in the clear on each side of the pivotal base, instead of 160 feet, as provided in the bill. The uniform length of spans on western rivers is 160 feet. By former legislation four draw- bridges have been constructed on this river, with draws affording 160 feet clear waterway. Consent has been granted for the construction of three other bridges with the same length of span on the same river. The construction of railroads on either side of the river has decreased the navigation upon the upper Missouri to the minimum. During the year 1883 the drawbridge at Atchison, Kas., twenty-five miles from the city of Leavenworth, was only opened eight times, The channel of the river at the proposed site of this bridge is only 80 feet in width. To re- quire a span 300 fect in the clear on either side of the pivotalbase would make necessary a drawbridge span of about 660 foet in length, much longer than any drawbridge span in the United States. The increased cost of such a span, as well as the great difficulty of constructing such a span 8o as to make it safe and secure, renders the recommendation equivalent to a prohibition vgainst the construction or any more draw span bridges upon the Missouri river. Your committee do not concur in such recommendation; but,in deference to the high authority of the recommendation, the bill fixes the minimum length of the span at 160 feet in the clear, and leaves it in the descretion of that officer, when the plans and specifications aro presented \for his approval, to require a greater length of span, if in his judgement the interests of navigation demand it. recommending a clear. The committee has made a similar re- port in support of the bill authorizing the Kansas City, Topeka and Western rail- way to construct a bridge over the Mis- souri at or near Sibley. The bill is al- most identical in torms with the act of 1882, authorizing the construction of a bridge at Arrow Rock. The bill pro- vides that if a draw bridge be construct- ed the width of draw-span must afford not less than 160 feet clear waterway. The engincer's office of the war depart- ment recommend an increase in length of draw-span, giving 300 foot clear water- way, thus requiring such draw span to bo some G00 feet in length. Inthis the committee does not concur. Major Su- ter will soon learn that his recom aenda- tions of the almost impossible, do not meet with favor at the hands of practi- cal men, — Tak poople of Dixon county are to be congratulated upon the decision of the United States supreme court, which do- clares void the bonds procured by the Covington, Columbus and Black Hills Kansas City, St. Paul and other citios,lo- cated on uneven sites,had been compelled to disregard benefits and pay extravagant damages, as Mr. Kennedy proposes, thoy would have been mere villages to-day. But what of the improvements which aro sure to follow from the change of grade opposed by such mul- ish mossbacks as Mr. Kennedy! Is it advisable to leave our principal thor- oughfarc a mere stub, with a hog-back on Farnam street hill and a frog-pond within two blocks of the court-house? If Omaha is to be a groat city is not this the proper time to extend Farnam street with an easy grade to the city limits and open at least one grand thoroughfare to the west? Already Mr. Kennedy's obstruction has caused the abaudonment of many pro- posed buildings of an ex pensive character, which would have been built this season, One firm of architects, Dufreno & Mendelssohn, had plans made for $70,- 000 worth of residences and business houses which were to have been erected on Farnam street this soason, but are now dropped. But Mr. Kennedy reminds the mayor and city council that this proposed change of grade is in the interest of speculators in unimproved property. There is no doubt that every improvement of & public thoroughfare will benefit owners of un. improved lands. Should that forever be abarto public improvements! Ave we} to stand still simply because there unimproved lands -ns lota? it Mr. Kenuedy, in his pretended lotter railroad compnuy under false protense. 1t was o load that would have swamped the county, and the people ought to feel A RATTLING OF THE RINGS.

Burr, late clerk of the district court, show a deficit of some £5,000, and the books have not all been entirely examined yet. The present in- cumbent, Sizer, has made the discovery, but the matter has been studiously kept from public notice. It is well known that the Burr family thought that it had a mortgage on this oftice, and when A. D. was defeated in the nominating con- vention last fall he paid but very little attention to its business thereafter, al- though some months intervened before his successor took his official position. Whether this skortage is due to crrors in book-keeping or not is not yet deter- mined, but there are dark clouds enough around to portend quite an investigation storm. KOMICAL KERNEL KENDALL, Tho following card appeared in The Journal of Thursday, which your corre- spondent could have answered at once had he so desired, but he deemed it bot- ter to wait for his regular Monday mor- cenux. This delay, however, gave The Democrat and News, of this city, an op- portunity to lampoon the Com. of the P. L. and B., and they did it so effectively that it is almost a shame to give tho back- woods statesman another whack when he is down: Editor State Journal: T must apologizo for having taken a little spaco in_your Sunday Journal on the com- pound interost ques It appears that the plaintiff, as _shown in Lincolu correspondence to OvalA BEE, rests his caso ou a statute ro- pealed by tho legislature of 1881, I hope no further answors ill b domandod than to call attention to the law of February 24, 1883, or to sugest some darkened excavation whero the brilliant correspondent may go—and pull the whole in after him. This is republished more for the sake of showing what elegant language this Kendall is capable of using than for any worth asa denial it possesses. What a model his_card is, especially for family perusal and in relation to school matters! ~ What choice expressions and delicate diction for a state official? This, however, might bo passed by did he not attempt to mislead the public by a wil- ful mis-statement.

Then agaim, even if it did the lands in the Brown case were purchased, and all paymentsdue on them away back in the seventies heforo the alleged repealing act of 1883 was ever thought of. It was to this particu- lar case your correspondent made refer- ence, If Land Commissioner Kendall believed this law to be repealed, and has had any right to mterfere iu the payment of the pnrchase money or interest, why did he not MAKE IT KNOWN BEFORE? Wag it honest in him to allow the collec- tion of interest money which he deemed had been rendered uncalled for by the repeal of the law! Why did he not so inform the _treasurers as to this repeal business when he extraoflicially, med- dlesomely and undoubtedly interestedly requeated them not to insst on tho pay- ment of the accrued interest? Then again in his letters in The Journal which ho 80 reluctantly wrote on this subject ho could have settled the whole matter then by simply saying the law was not in force now, but he never made the least reference to it. Neither did he his letter to Treasurer Graham. The fact is Kendall is one of the most strik ing illustrations of the fluttering ot the wounded bird that we bave geen in pub- lic life in some time. Indeed Tar Bre could buzz avound him much more fre quently did it 8o desire and make him squeal at every brush of its wing.

For the present let the dead (politically) and beautiful (manipulator of the king's English) rest. SMALLER FOLITICAL FRY, OF course local politics at the capital are not going to set the whole common- mealth on fire, but then the systemat's mauner in which the temperance folk have gone to work here is a large straw that has a direct bearing on the way the prohibition wind will blow in the fall, If the red ribbon men down the rapparees of personal freedom of taste as well as of talk in Lincoln this spring it will be a feather in the cap of a stron; temperance fight in November. Several socrot meetings have been held during the week and a regular form of organi tion for a thorough campaign has been settled on, Even the ministers have been asked to deliver temperance sermons next Sunday and they have consented.

THE PARROTT CASE, | §The aquittal of Robert C. Parrott, accused of embezzling funds while assistant cashier of the fnnd department of the Burlington & Missouri railroad, has caused about as much excitement as did the presentation of the original charge. The solid classes of the com- munity here have their own opinion of the verdict and are not by any means restrained from expressing it. The young man has been pronounced guiltless Ye. & jury of his peers and let him have the benefit of the creed ot these twelve apostles of evidence. The case was a remarkable one in many re- apects, especially for the undisguised in- terest the ‘‘eider down’ side of society took in it. The old court room here never held such a fashionable audience within its walls before at any legal pro- ceedings, and it is not likely to again. The manner in which Judge Mason con- ducted the defonse, was also a‘noticeable feature, When it is known that the “‘vosuvius whisper” of the Nebraska bar did it in his usual gentle and velvet like way. why the Omaha lawyers will take on the situation at once. His closing speech was one of the most bitter anti-monopoly speeches of the day, and the party of the people could hardly have produced a more soul stirring “argument than t! judge hurled at the B. & M., on Frida, He must have used the sozodont of out- raged rights and trace-killing taxation constantly for a month in order to make agreeablo quarters for this wonderful Demostherim effort, cspecially after his oratorical orifice has been stormed so fre- quently with such harsh things on the other side of this great question of the day. When the judge gets wound up on his rounding periods, especially if he can ring a few changes in heaven, earth and hell, he is a verbal earthquake. No liviug man to-day can handle the word hell as he does and not explode. When he tackled that old Biblical term it would seem a8 if Dante's ‘‘Inferno” had been suddenly dissected by a dynamite ex- plosion, District Attorney Strode, of Plattsmouth, is receiving compliments on all sides for the impartial and fearless manner in which he conducted the Parrott case, as well as all those he has had to attend to officially here.
