I¥ Mayor Chase hasn't the courage to dispense with Mr. Guthrie's services he may find himself in much hotter water than he has yet been in, Cor. Gapk Bouck, of Oshkosh, is an old-ticket man. Says he: “Who is the man! Samuel J. Tilden, if he's alive. If he's dead, we'll nominate his bones.” GENERAL GRANT must think now that it is better for an ex.president to bo a road master in Fremont, Ohio, than a stock gambler in Wall street, New York, No matter what Mr. Hewitt may say or do there will be no further attompt made by the democrats to interfero with revenue matters at the present session. They think that they have fooled enough with the tariff buzz-saw. Tue discussion on the Morrison bill make sparticularly timely a paper an- nounced for the Jane Harper's on *“The New York custom house.” The article will be practioally a comprohensive sketch of the entire customs-revenue system. A quantity of interesting facts and tables as to the imports and shipping of the country will be given. Tae removal of Dr. Kulp from the board appointed to locate Iowa’s new in* sane asylun was a strange proceeding that needs a protty thorough investiga- tion. Governor Sherman, it seems, was “was induced to it by the representations of Mr. Lafe Young, of Atlantic, who was very sure that Dr. Kulp was prejudiced in favor of Clarinda. It is now reported that Mr. Young himself previously made overtures t) the doctor to seoure his vote for Atlantic. When fhese were rejected, Mr. Younz, in revenge, procured Dr, Kulp's removal, The latter is a well- known and honorable physician and his friends are naturally indignant at the insult put upon him, There is, mean- time, a very loud call for Mr. Lafe Young to stand up and explain these things, A little light from Governor Sherman as to whether he, or Lafe Young, orJ. S. Olerkson is governcr would also be ac ceptable. Tur Springfield Republican makes this comment on the defeat of the Mor- rison bill: No political party, least of all the party in power, can afford to drift out of sym- pathy with the people, particularly when popular gentient demands to see an ad- vance made. Is tariff reform a thing loss desirable now than when the late riff commission was empowered to make a considerable reduction that was not at all accomplished? Or is a reduction of the war tariff deplorable when suggested by democrats, and highly desirable whon proposed by republicans, and if so, why! The shaduw of the presidential campaign seems to have passed over the repub- lican party like a meral eclipse, and a horizontal reduction which was welcomed when Mr, Dawes engineered 1t in 1872 is formally condemned by republican plat- forms in 1884. But this sort of dres parade nonsense can be carried too far. The republican party will need the inde- pendent vote this year, the aggressive support of men who champion clvil- service reform and tariff reform; it will not be safe for the republicans to assume that such voters are going to regard the or mr wWATER orrt THE STOCKS. The enormous shrinkage of sfocks in Wall street is only the natural result of the syatem of stock watering aud consoll- dations which have been prasticed for years, Those who are acquainted with the rottennecss of this system are not at all surprised at the psesent remarkable On the contrary WBING decline in stock values, they are somewhat surprised that the de- cline did not come long ago. Our rail- roads and telegraphs are nearly all built on fictitious capital by credit mobilier construction companies or rings. They are mortgaged for all they are worth and stocked for any amount which the pro- jectors may see fit to name. Such roads are usually operated on the principlo that they will get from their patrons all that the traffic can bear. Competing lines aro built where one line could do all the bus- iness, and when the compotition becomes disastrous to both, the earning are either pooled or consolidation takes place. Thereupon consolidated stock is issued to roplace the fictitious stock issued by the original builders, and the consolidated road is operated with a view of carning dividends upon cnormous sums which have never been invested. In order that the stock may be keptat a high quo tation in the market, dividends have to be declared and money is often borrowed | at ruinous rates to pay fictitious dividends on fictitious stocks. The grand confidence game is kept up with variations. Two instances in point will suffice to illustrate the workings of this stock inflation system - the Western Union telegraph company and Union Pacific railroad. The Western Union was originally stocked for two or threo millions, It ex- tended its lines out of its carnings and profits and built up a system which grad- ually swallowed overy competing com- pany in the United States. By the time this voracious anaconda had completed the swallowing process it had issued stock for about forty millions upon a property that could have been duplicated at any time for less than one quarter of that sum. When the Western Union had acquired the monopoly of American telegraphs, reckless jobbers and speculators projected competing lines for no other purpose than to swindle, and eventually sell out to the anaconda. So it was with the Atlanti & Pacific, and Pacific & Atlantic tele- graph companies, These lines were pro- jected and built by stock jobbers to be swallowed. and their inflated and worth, less stocks were duly converted into Western Union, Next came Jay Gould's American Union, which was another scheme carried out by a credit mobilier construction ring which built lines all over the country with the design to en- rich its projectors. The company was stocked at fabulous figures. The object of Jay Gould was finally accom- plished. The Amcrican Union swal- lowed the Western Union, or vice versa. It did not make much differ- democratic fight for one of the great, pressing issues as *‘a blunder;” and de- cidedly will it be unsafe to bait for them with a shop-worn and soiled candi- date. The republican olation is rather boyish, all things considered. It will not command the respect of thinking wen. Ciry MAxsHAL Gurarie should be de- posed. A city officer who will deliberately violate his cath to execute the lawsis no better than a perjurer, It is his sworn duty to arrest every person who violates the laws in his presence, and yet Mr. Guthrie could look on and see public gambling for money at a Sunday picnic and not open his mouth, He knows that no license to sell liquor has been grantedatany time to anybody in Hascall's park, and yet in his own presence three or four open bars were running on Bunday in that park with. out the slightest protest on his part. Only a fow weeks ago Marshal Guthrie arrested the proprietors of the Paxion and Millard hotels for keeping their bars open on Sunday for the accom- modation of their gueats, although these men had paid their license. But a lot of roustabouts and bummers are allowed to sell privileges for gambling and liquor selling in an open park oa Sunday,where there is liable to be violence and blood- shed, and the marshal looks on with in. difference. Marshal Guthrio is always on hand to persecute any inoffensive mon who are trying to make a living. He will arrest a poor orauge peddler, two er three times a day, even when ho knows the manhas & license to peddle, The town is full of erooks, sluggers, gerroters and | the mortguges foreclosed, the consoli- ; will make us pay more state taxes is -llt idlted stock of the Union Paeific would ‘ safe-blowers, but the rrehal doesn't seem to know anything of them. ence who did the swallowing in this case, as the consolidation was all that Gould was working for. The Mutual Union, which followed, was another scheme of the samo gort. By the time theso lines weroe all consolidated under the name of the Westorn Union, its stock had swelled to elghty millions, whilo the entire prop- erty was not probably worth twenty mil- lions, 1In order to declaro dividends on eighty millions, the managers kept up ex- travagaut ratesand maintained a costly systom, These rivals have now assumed such proportions as to compel the Western Union anaconda not only to refuso to swallow them, but to cut down its rates to points at which dividends connot be produced on eighty millione, Hence its stock has been con- stantly declining until it is now quoted at 694, This remarkable shrinkage in values has boen disastrous to two classes. On the one hand it has subjected the people of the whole country to high tolls that were often extortionate, and on the other hand the inyestors, who have bought Western Union stock in the be- liof that the property was worth dollar for dollar, have lost their money becauss of thir fictitious valuation. The Union Pacific railroadaffordsanoth- er striking illustration of the stock watering system, Built by the credit mobilier ring, it was stocked for five times the amount it could have been built for, and was bonded for all it was worth, The people all along the line were subjected to the most pitiless exac- tions, aud to make matters still worse the Union Pacific swallowed the Kansas Pa- cific, a bankrupt rival, whose stock was worth not more than five cents on the dollar. The new consolidated stock was thrown on the market, and by the stock- jobbing methods of Jay Gould it was boosted up way above par. In other words, diyidends were declared on the worthless stock of the Kansas Pacific and inflated stock of the Union Pacific from the earnings of a read that was mortgaged for all it was worth, and owing millions upon millions to the government for interest on the principal of its indebtedness. Whence came these stock dividends ! They came from the producers along the line of the road and from tho patrons generally, They were also doubtless also procured through fictitious loans for extensions and equipments which were represented on the ledgers of the company as costing a great deal more than what was actually paid, Now the reaction has taken place. Four competing Pacific railroads now divide the Pacific coast traflic with the Union Pacific and its local business is shared in part with the Burlington road. Union Pacific stock has dropped from 1.20 to 49, and there is no telling where this shrinkage will stop, Were not be worth any more than the stock of | the Kansas Pacific was when that road was thrown into the hands of a receiver Everything goes to show that the Union Pacific and the Western Union are the groatest works of fiction of the ag The moral of this disastrous shrinkage in values is very plain. The poople of the United States as a matter of self protecion must wring the water out of the stocks of telegraphs, railroads, and chartered monopolies generally, or else they will have to submit to pericdical panics and fluctuations of values, which are destruct- ive to commerce and fatal to industrial growth and prosperity, The water must not only be wrung out of the stocks, but must be kept out permanently. There must be lawa to make tho issuance of fiat stock as much a criminal offense as it is to dispose of mortgaged property, or fraudulently giving a second mortgage. There must bo a breakwater interposed by congress and by the states, beyond which chartered corporations, whose stocks are in the public markets, cannos g0 without being liablogto the soverost penalties. BOYCOTTING DRESSED BEKF. Tur New York butchers aro making a dotormined:fight agaiust western dressed boef, which has seriously affected their to the people of New York a wholesome ment at prices much less than thoy have heretofore been paying. With the con- sumers the dressed beef is very popular, and they considur it a great blessing, as it relioves thom from the outrageous prices that have been charged by the butchers. The press and veople generally of New York are in favor of western dressed beef. The butchers, however, are doing every- thing in their power to stop its shipment Into Now York. They have not only adepted a boycotting warfare, but have libelled the dressed beef by all sorts of statements to the effest that itis un- wholesome and injurious to health. The Chicago shippors of dressed beef indig- nantly deny all such charges, and assert that all their dressed beef is from the prime beeves. The last resort of the New York butchers is the introduction of a bill in the legislature prohibiting the sale of dressed beef in New York stata. It is intimated that, there is a strong probability that the bill will pass. Such a bill, however, will be unconstitutional as it will conflict with the established principles of inter- state commerce. No law that prohibits the wholosome products of one state be- ing sold in another can be held to be constitutional. The New York legislature might as well pass a law against tho sale of Ilinois potatoes or Nebraska corn, in New York., The butchers, no doubt, are being backed up in their fight by some of the railroad companies who do not want the beef traflic reduced to the bulk of dressed meat. The New York butchers aro endeavoring to put their state government in about tho came atti- tude as the government of Germany has taken towards the American hog. They will find, however, that they have under- taken something that will not be tolerat- ed by tho westorn states, who will de- mand that the common law of inter-state commerce shall be observed. AN ASSESSMEN?T REFORM NEEDED, The assessors are nearly through with their annual work. As usual they are assessing property at a ridiculously low valuation, and in an outrageously partial manner. Any man who values his reputation for truth and honosty will say that the average prico for which property can be sold un- der the hammer in Omaha to-day is at loast 100 per cent higher than it was in 1870, The assessment in 1870 was over $10,000,000, while this year it is only about $8,000,000. Does any sane man pretend to say that the valuation of Omaha has actually decreased $2,000,000 since 18707 The fact is that real estate has within the past five years doubled in value several times. 'We know of property that has increased in value ten times the price paid for it five years ago. We have put in over $10,000,000 in improvements in the shape of waterworks, business blocks and buildings, factories and private residences, since 1870, and yet our assessment is not propor- tionately increased. Why cannot the assessors have some decency and some respect for their oaths? Why cannot property be assessed ata reasonable cash value! It cannot be claimed that the cash valuo cannot be ascertained, as the real estate records in the county olerk's office will show the transfers and the amounts paid. Jf tho assess: ors are found, in spite of their oaths, to put down property to one quarter of its value, so let it be, but why should they put it down to one-tenth or one-twentieth, There are parcels of land worth from 85,000 to $10,000 that are assessed at $100, In the main the business property in the center of the city is assessed at about one-foarth, It is the outlying property which has boen improved by costly residences that skould be viewed by the assessors and assessed according to its present worth, and not at what they have assessed it in times past, when property was not salable, The county commissioners are largely to blame for this state of affairs, They ought to impeach the asses- sors or make them do their whole duty, fearlessly and impartially, It is within the power of the commission- ers to raise the valuations, The city council cannot very well do it, as it has not the time, 'I'te commissioners are in session for a whole month, and they have tho lists of all the property owners, and can serve notice on all of them if they see fit to raise the valuation, Tho pretense that a high assesement bosh. The state revenue laws expressly provide that where & county is assessed business. On the other hand it has given |* at a higher ratio than another, the ratio of assossment shall be lowered by the etate hoard of equalization to make it uniform. | for in- stance, property in Douglas county were vasessed at one-half ita val- nixth, ue, and in Lancaster county at’ Douglas county would be reduced,or Lan- caster ratged, 8o as to cqualize the rate of state taxation. It is important that the assessment in Omaha should be raised,as | we are in need of more money for public improvements, Owing to the low as- sessment the general fund tively small. No time should be lost by the commiesioners in effecting a healthy is compara- and honest assessment reform. ——— Harier Kinpoury's famous claim has been cut down by the court to $17,500.
