ROSEWATER, Editor. A. H. Fitoh, Manager Dally Circulation, P. 0. Box 488" Omaha, Neb. Avrir is no spring chicken. Our early spring is not as green as it is painted. Now comes O’Hawes. tug of war.—Pat | Tur latest campaign story is that Lo- gan is writing a ook to off-set Blaine's literary effort. » Ir is about time for April to get down to genuine spring work if she desires to maintain her well established reputation. ONE of the worst things about the Cin- cinnati riot now is the atrocious cuts which the Cincinnati papers are printing to illustrate it. “Arror Day,” which originated in Nebraska, has been introduced in several other states, among the number being Kansas and Colorado. April 26th has just been designated by the governor of Colorado as ‘‘Arbor Day” in that state. Kansas Orry is all torn up over the question who is to succeed her Mayor Chase. Omaha can look on with supreme indifference as our Mayor Chase holds over for another year, and refuses to re- sign. TaE only lesson of the terrible disaster to the steamer Steinmann, at Halifax, is that no precautions can make travel abso- lutely safe. No blame seems to have fastened itself on either officers or propri- etors of the ill-fated vessel. THAT sweet-scented Bourbon, , Gov. Crittenden, of Missouri, wants to have his fragrant half-brother, Gov. Murray, of Utah, reappointed. It isa nice thing to have your half-brother on the other side of the house when you can, Senaron Beck has made the momen- MACADAMIZING ROADS. Before the commissioners of this or any other county expend any money for macadam on county roads, they would do woll to make some inquiries, Merely piling up broken stone on a highway will be a sheer waste of time and money. Tho very first essential in making a road isgood drainage. All other things are worth nothing without this. ~Where the moil is sandy aund loose as itis in western Nebraska, road making is com- paratively an easy matter. Buc where it is compact and clayey, as in the Missouri and Mississippi valleys, macadam alone is utterly worthless, There are roads in Towa that have been macadam- iged half-a-dozen times. At present it would be impossible to tell that any stoue had ever been placed upon them, The softening of the ill-drained roads when the frost came out of the ground allowed the macadam to sink entirely out of sight under the pressure of the heavy teams Every method of making macadam has been tried on these roads with exactly the same result. On hill-tops and dry places tho work has stood the wear and tear. On the bottom lands, where the the water steod and froze in the ground, the stone sank into the soft mud. Pro- bably on the bluffs and high-lands of Douglas county, macadam might prove useful. But on the low lands it would be entirely thrown away. The system which was most successful in some parts of Iowa, and which prom- ises the best results everywhere, was one of thorough surtace and subsoil draining. A space in the road fifteen to eighteen foet wide is first staked off. In this two parallel ditches are dug to the depth of perhaps six feet, and in the shape of a letter V. As each is to serve as the foundation of a road.-bed, the center of each ditch is about one-fourth of the dis- tance from the edge of the track first staked off. At the bottom of each is then laid drain tile of a sufficient size to carry off the water, probably not less than three and a half inches. On theve large, loose stones may be placed and tho earth thrown back and smoothed off un- til the whole surface is level. At proper intervals along the highway a provision is mads to carry off the water that may accumulate in the drains into the creeks and water courses. We have here a perfectly-drained road that will keep dry and firm in almost any kind of weather, The walls of natural earth which were left when the V-shaped ditohes were ‘dug conduct the water as it trickles downward into the tiles at the bottom. These lead it off into the creeks, and out of the way. There is no water in the road to freeze up in the fall and tear the rond to pieces when it thaws in the spring. What little moisture there may be is collected by the drains as fast as it melts and drawn away. On this macadam may be laid, if desired, but it is not at all necessary. Another advantage of a road thus laid tous discovery that the educational bill is “‘a rcheme to give the republicans” con- trol of the south. As the object of the bill is to disseminate general intelligence, thero is just a remote germ of truth in what the senator says. THE queen of Tahiti, who some weeks 8go passed through Omaha on her wayto Europe, is now on her return trip. She saya she dreads the journey through America on account of the newspaper re- porters. We call on Mayor Chase to protect her from Omaha’s inquisitive re- porters when she reaches this city. Trk advocates of an underground rail- way in New York continue to push their scheme in spite of the opposition of street- car and elevated railway companies. As the New York authorities show no dispo- sition to grant them favor they are going Yo move on the legislature. The fight against Gould and Field, who own the elevated roads, seems to be a hard one. Tukg first sounds of the Iowa prohib- iting law has been heard. Several sa- loon keepers at Dubuque have been noti- fied by their landlords that they must va- cate the premises. The maloon-keepers are frightened and are holding meetin, but have found no way to avoid compli ance, The penalties for renting a build- ing in which liquor is sold in Iowa are .bo‘l a8 heavy as selling it. ee——— Tue movement for Randall is gaining great strength in Pennsylvania, Out of 67 chairmen of county democratic com- mittees, 50 are warmly for him, and the rest hold him as their second choice, or as first choice with Tilden out of the way. A platform built by Mr. Watterson, the free trader, supporting Randall, the pro- tectionists, would be an entrancing spec- cle for a campaign., — Dz, Muxrorp, editor of the Kansas City Zimes, says that ho really has had assurances that Standard Oil Payne will not accept & nomination for the presi- dency. The editor of the Zimes regrots this most bitterly. It is easy to sve, however, that the time of a gentleman employed in robbing the people of from two to four cents on every gallon of oil they buy must be quite limited. Of ocourse he could not find leisure to attend to the duties of the presidency as well. ¢ ee— of the interestiug faots elicited testimony of Mr. George Bliss is that & much smaller space of land need be condemned for it than is at present used. The average country road in Ne- braska is not less than sixty feet wide. Over and across this winds a narrow track for one vehicla, Were roads con- structed as we have suggested they need not be one-half so wide, and they would have upon them two good, broad tracks, on any part of which a team could travel with perfect ease. These facts are cer- tainly worth the serious attention of the commissioners. Tue charges made by ‘‘a distinguished citizen of Cincinnat” about the real re- sponsibllity for the bloodshed in the riots do not differ very much from the opinions expressed last week by Tux Bee. Froma calm review of the course of events it seemed almost certain that there had been terrible mismanagement by the authorities. The statoments of this dinguished citizen only strengthen the belief. It is much to be regretted that the charges d> not come in & more tangible shape, Nevertheless, there should still be a rigid and searching in- vestigation as to their truth. If all those people were shot and mangled through the incomprehensible stupidity of one or two men, the entire country is scarcely loss interested in knowing it than in Cin. cinnati, Tur demand, in the present congress, for money to be spent on public build- ings crowds close upon the demand for money to be spent on creeks and inlets, Between thirty and forty have already been favorably reparted upon by the house committee, and still there is a cry for more, 1t is observed as a significant fact that five times as many have been award- ed to democratio districts as republican districts have received. This is election year, and a good many democratic con- grossmen feel that they must make a re- cord among “‘the boys" before the con- vention assembles, eE—— Tre Chinaman continues to be badly treated. The Canadian parliament has carried with great enthusiasm a law re- strioting his immigration to the domin- ion, This was dcne at the instance of the representatives of British Columbia. A fow years ago when they first proposed sucha law they could not get even a hoaring. The example of this country, however, has since produced a great change in Canadian sentiment. emm—— Tue New York senate has passed a bill compelling all telegraph, telephone and electrio light companies doing business in New York and Brooklyn to put their atterpt to coerce these companies last year, but tailed utterly. It is probable, city council of Chicago made a similar there is ground to hope that the experi- ment in New York will be successful. Sooner or later similar regulations will have to be enforced in every city in the country. The wires and poles are un- sightly and extremely dangerous, and some day they will have to go. The people of Omaha, perhaps, think that we have the worst streets in the world, and that older cities in the east have streets that are well-paved and free from mud. We admit that the thorough- fares of Omaha at the present time are in a horrible condition, but they might by oven worse, To those who are inclined to grumble we would say that even in New York there is the loudest kind of complaints about the condition of the streets. The New York Evening Post, of a recen’ date, says: *The pavement in many of the down- town streots, especially those east of Broadway, is very much in need of re- air, and while the roadways are not as ad as they were before the removal of the old wooden pavements, the occupant of a light wagon incurs considerable risk in driving over some of the streets. The pavement of Broadway which was laid on a foundation of concrete has been torn up and relaid in patches, from time to time, fur the purpose of laying mains of steam-heating pipes and telegraph wires, and for re- pairs to sewers, gas mains, water pipes, otc., and to-day the roadway is so rough and uneven that en a rainy day the water collects in pools, some of which cover a space eight or ten feet in diameter. One of the last acts of Comptroller Campbell, while he was at the head of the depart- ment of public works, was to lay a new pavement on Fulton street from Broad- way to the East river. This pavement was laid in the best manner, ou a foun- dation of concrete, but in less than a month after the work was com- pleted it was torn up for the purpose of making a sewer connection. Since that time steam heating-pipes, new gas mains, and other subterranean pipes have becn laid in this] thoroughfare, and to-day]the street is in some places almost unsafe for travel. At the southwest corner of Gold and Fulton streets a new building has been erected. The pavement in front of this building was torn up for the purpose of constructing the cellar walls, and has not been properly relaid. For a distance of nearly 100 feet the roadway on the south side of the street between the car ;;;sc}'{ and the sidewalk is almost impassa- 0. The Evening Post devotes three-quar- ters of a column in pointing out the al- most impassable places in the streets, all of which are paved. From the above ex- tract it will be seen that in New York pavements are laid upon a concrete foundation, This is what ought to be done in Omaha, whether the pavement is of stone or asphalt. It should have been done on Tenth street. We hope that, if it is not too late, steps will be taken to lay the Farnam street stone pavement on a first-class concrete foundation. Our eoil is too soft to hold a stone pavement in place any length of time, if it is laid simply on a bed of sand and broken stone. It will not be long before the Tenth street pave- ment will have ugly depressions and holes in it,and it will haveto be frequent- ly relaid, in various places. The asphalt pavement has been laid on a splendid concrete foundation, and the same kind of foundation should be provided for the stone pavementa. Another important matter that should be attended to immediately on all streets that have been ordered to be paved is the making of all gas, water and sewer connections beforo any pavement is laid. It will not do to allow this matter to be neglected now, and then hereafter per- mit the pavement to be torn up in hun- dreds of places for the purpose of making these connections. Such work will ruin any pavement. It is hoped that the city council will compel property owners to make their connections as soon as the streets are ready to be paved. Tare famous life insurance case of Col. Dwigkt, of Binghampton, N. Y., who died suddenly soon after insuring his life for $256,000 in different companies, is at last being settled up by the insurance companies after a long and vigorous fight in the courts to resist the payment of the policies. Three of the companies have now paid their policies, one being for $10,000. It is very likely now that the whole$256,000 will eventually be obtained by the heirs of Col. Dwight. ‘Waex thenew council comes in the very first thing it ought to do is to appoint a competent auditor, who shall thoroughiy examine the books and records of the city officials, so that we may know just how we stand. This has been doue be- fore, the accountant for that purpose being made by special appointment. If the records and books in the clerk's office are behind and he cannot catch up he should be given assistance. There is altogether too much looseness in our municipal bus- iness. AccorpiNa to Mr. Bliss, there are still pending thirty star route indictments. 1f no more rapid progress is made than there has been in the provious cases, the trial of the last indictment will probably not be reached before the end of the pres- ent contury, If Mr. Bliss could continue as prosecuting attorney at $100 a day, he would probably be willing to continue losing money, as he says he has, by being in the overnment employ.

Tt is some little time since Cuba has had much excitoment, but it is quite likely that Aquero will stir the island up from center to circumference for a week or two at least. PrestpENT ARTHUR is receiving a great deal of praiso from the leading newspa- pers over the country for the appoint- ment of Judge Brower, of Kansas, to 6 the Eight United States judical cir- cuit. The New York Herald says: Judge Brewer has not meddled in politics, but. has wisely devoted himself to his professional dutios. His appoint- ment to the federal bench in one of the a desorved promotion, and in making it President Arthur has meritoriously passed by all political aspirants and acted on true principles of civil service reform. Barsum has offered a prize to of §500 for the best poem of fifty lines on his sacred elephant. We know of but one budding genius anywhere in the west who is capable of gathering in this prize. N. K. Grigge, from the state of Beatrice could do it as easily as falling off a log. It would be a neat and handy subject for him, Nearwy all the candidates for the Chi- cago conventicn are willing to go un- pledged. It is justas well, as the pledges of most of them are worthless, af- ter they are once elocted. Four years ago, when Dawes went to Chicago, he was pledged, and he agreed to break the pledge before he ever started for Chicago. Ir now transpires that it wasn't the championship of the American hog that displeased Mr. Bismarck half so much with Miniscer Sargent as the champion- ship of women sufferage which made Mr. Sargent offensive to Kaiser William's Chancellor. Tae trial of William Pitt Kellogg for complicity in the star route crimes will scon begin in Washington. There is good ground for the belief that Mr. George Bliss will not appear for the gov- ernment. FROM RUIN TO WEALTH. A Bankrupt Pueblo Banker Becomes a Texas Oatile King. Denver Tribune. Seven years ago Charley Goodnight, of Pueblo, was a bankrupt, without a dollar in the world and a hopeless future ahead of him. ‘To-day Col. Charles Goodnight, of Corpus Christi, Texas, is a millionaire, and an influential man in the state. The Charley Goodnight, of Pueblo, and the Col. Goodnight, of Texas, are one and the same man, and the revolution in his financial circumstances hss been brought about by the cattle business. AT PUEBLO BANKER. In 1873 the name of Charles Good right, the Pueblo banker, would have made a draft worth $400,000 or $500,0(0. He was known throughout the state asan upright, liberal and public spirited man, and was respected in all business circles, as well as popular generally. The finan- cial panic that year shook the credit of his bank, and the institution was not able to withstand the succeeding shocks ‘which came upon all banks of the coun- try during the next three years, until in 1876 it succumbed to a heavy blow fol- lowing a stock agitation in New York, The ruined banker had a young wife and two childen dependent upon him, and his failure nearly drove him to despair. After formally announcing that the bank had closed its doors to depositors he walked home and threw himself upon a lounge in the parlor. In an honest effort to save his depositors he had made an as- signment of everything he had in the world, including his house and furniture, and the thought of his wife and children, who knew nothing of his desperate con- dition, was agonizing to him, A FRUE WOMAN, His wife camo in_shortly, leading one of the children by the hand, and coming up to the husband kissed him on the forehead. sobbed aloud. “What is it. Oharles,” asked Mrs. Goodnight, gently. “I am ruined, Jennie,” responded the banker, *‘I have literally nothing. I shall not be able to pay our baker's bill if he presents it to-morrow,” and a reve- lation of his financial crash followed. Mrs. Goodnight listened very calmly un- til the story was ended. *‘Charles,” she said, ‘‘do you rem em- ber my herd of cattlein Las Animas county?"” “I "have given up the ranche to my creditors,” he responded dreamily, “‘The cattle too?" asked she, “No, That is true, they remaii he answered with recovered hope, sitting erect upon the lounge. **When T bought them for you, Jennie, four years ago, 1 paid $17,000 for the 1,000 head, and thoy must havo increased since. There is a chance for us yet. Shall we begin life anew with my present to you as a capital?” ‘As you say Charles,” answered his wife, confidingly. *We will go from Colorado,” she added fondly, you shall become a cattle king.” GOODNIGHT AS A STOCKMAN, Her woman's prediction was fulfilled. The banker, stimulated by her encourage- ment, aroused himself from his depres- sion, settled np his affairs in Pueblo in a week, and going to his ranch hired cow boys and set out for the handle of Texas with the cattle, His th, which bhad been impaired by his business troubles, began to grow betrer, and the life of a cattle man grew to have a charm for him, while his devoted wife aided him in the business with great shrewd- uoss, taking charge of all the accounts and handling all the money of the busi- nees. Ho had not been in the panhandle & year when he discovered what he then ay *‘and t0 begin at noon on Wednesday, April 130, A desoriptive list of the lands with | h:;:vu, that the mp:fi;m have not ) the appraisement thereof, and other in. quite 83 much power ew York as!formation, may be obtained from the dis- | aire, to loan him the money to purch they hase in Chicago.

Richard King, of Cor- pus Christi, down in the corner of the state next to the gulf, has more cattle than Mr. Goodnight, but North Texas meon insiat that the latter has tho best water and the best grass. The ranch will carry three times as many cattle as are now pastured upon it, some 60,000; and the herd is being in- creased and improved in quality each ear. When it is considered that the state of Rhode Island contains only 674,- 000 acres, it will be realized that the former Coloradoan owns what the ranch- men call *‘quite a spot of land.” The cattle on his ranch are all finely bred, as Gooanight has graded them up by intro- ducing the best foreign breeds and in the market these bring 15 to 20 per cent more than those from other ranches. His 700,000 acres of land were bought at b0 cents and $1 an acre within the past three or four four years, but could be sold readily at double that price to- day. His good fortune is not paralleled by any similar case known among cattle men, but both he and his charming wife do- serve it, and their many friends in Colo- rado, and especially in Pueblo, are hear- tily glad to know of the success of his venture. e Wei De Meyer. 1t 18 now undisputed that Wel De Mey- er's Catarrh Cure is the only treatment that will absolutely cure Catarrh—fresh or chronfo ““Very _officacious, Sam’l.

The Dozen Desperadoes Who Went Over to Capture Cuba. Key Wesr, Fla, April 6.—The achooner Shorters arrived last night. She passed two revenue cutters and the flag ship Tennessee, and proceeded to the upper harbor, where she was seized by the collector, who placed inspectors on board. There were three people aboard —two colored, and a Cuban negeo in charge. ' The latter said he was engaged to pilot the Shorters to Cape Florida; that on rounding Fort Taylor Aguero told him, with a drawn_pistol, that he must take the party to the Cuban coast. On approaching near Cardmas he directod the pilot to land abreast a plantation then in sight, where horses could be obtained. The party reached the beach. Tne pilot put to sea, and saw an extensive fire before getting clear of land. He thinks the plantation building was burned. It is evident that the Span- ish consul, through his detectives, discov- ered and transmitted to Washington more information than was posscesed by the federal officials here. Reports vary re. garding the number of filibusterers, said to be between twelve and twenty, The Shorters are said tv have a small number of carbines. ‘WasHiNgToN, April 6,—The Spanish legation here have no irformation respect-, ing the landing at Key West of filibusters in Cuba. The party having landed there it is not a concern of the legation but a matter for the local authorities to deal wtth., They are satisfied the Unitea States authorities here did their whole duty in the matter, but that the Key West custom officers were exceedingly negligent and rasposible for the failure to prevent the expedition from getting away. ——— Puison In the blood will nearly always show itself in the Spring.
