A dose of oxygen may re- store Sam Tilden to vitality before the democratic national convention meets. GoverNor JoeL PArker, of Ne w Jer- sey, has not declined the democratic presidential nomination. He very sen- #ibly says that he is not a candidate; and cannot accept anything which has mot been tendered him. Ir Ex-Mayor Chase could get a change of venue to Lancaster county and get the editor of the Lincoln Journal on the jury he could rest assured as to the result. The Journal man, who is a champion of the ex-mayor’s cause, would hang the jury. Mr. Gere has always had a sym- pathetic feeling for bribe-takers, CramrMAN Dorsey, of the state repub- lican committee, has opened the cam- Paign by an urgent appeal to all county republican committees to organize a Blaine and Logan club in each town and village at once, and make Nebraska the banner atate in the union. It isto be hoped that Mr. Dorsey’s efforts will be seconded by all loyal republicans, in ‘every part of the state. Tue cable brings us the important in- telligenco that Minister Lowell has, on account of the gout, y decided to give up his anticipated swell Fourth of July dinner. This is a greas sacritice on the part of Minister Lowell, and he will have the sympathy of the American people, who the day before were informed that he concluded not toabandon his din- ner. If he again changes his mind with- in the next twenty-four hours the Ameri- <an public will of eourse be informed by 4he cablo, ‘Tae new anti-Chinese bill, which has already passed the house, will probably be brought up in the senate this week, * Itisa very stringent measure, and gives . _-additional powers to officials for the en. forcement of necessary regulations.

A striking illustra- tion of the valuable fund of political in- possessed by this man Shiveloy, s afforded by his reference to Senator Van Wyek, who he says was elected two years by the republicans, as & compromise candidate in order to prevent the election of an out and out monopolist. What Shiveley does not know about Nebraska politics would fill sev eral volumes. formation Tur cholera in France is being protty well held in check. 8o far it has been confined principally to Toulon and Mar- seilles. §The most important piece of news regarding the epidemic is the cablo an- novncement that five cases of cholera have been cured by inh: pure oxy- gen. The effect of the inhalation oxy- gen, it is stated, is immediate, and con- sists in restoring warmth to the system, making the pulse normal. Oxygen be- ing one of theelements of the atmosphere and essential to vitality, it is reasonable to presume that the introduction of pure oxygen will destroy the germs of the disease. The trouble with the patient is that he dies from exhaustion, the disintegration of the vital forces being very rapid. The disease is probably of miasmatic origin, and local conditions may favor or check its local development; but whether the disease ought to be called contagious or not is one of the most warmly disputed points in medicine. It is certain that habitual personal contact with the sick is often not followed by the disease. It is held by many that the disease is propa- gated by drinking water; by others, that its germs are taken up from the air the patient breathes. The discovery of the oxygen treatment is, if it proves a success, a greater discovery than that of vaccination, the latter being a preven. tive and the former a cure. The leading physicians of France and the French AcademyZof Medicine will no doubt fully investigate the oxygen treatment, and render a definite decision as to its merita, ANOTHER PRINTERS' STRIKE, Under the lend of the notorious Jason Lowis,who was recently elected president of the Omaha Typographical union in place of Kellogg O. Gould, another geno- ral printers’ strike is shortly to be precip- itated in all the newspaper offices of Omaha. As a prelude to this programme permits have been isued by the union to anumber of printers to work in the Brr office, and they have from time to time been employed here. Some of these printers, as we are reliably informed, have been imported from other cities for the sole purpose of creating discord and trouble, and the scheme is to have another walk-out from this office while the democratio national convention is in sossion. We haye never objected to union printers so long as they behaved themselves and accepted positions In good faith, but being forewarned we don’t propose to allow the misdhief makers to disturb the workings of this office. They will hardly succeed nt this time in roping-in the men who are thoroughly satisfied with their places and wages. So far as wo are concerned we say to the printers’ union that we know that our patrons will be satisfied if we don't publish a paper larger than a postal card during any trouble that may be un. Jjustly and maliciously precipitated upon us by the union, and believe that the patrons of all the Omaha dailies feel the 88mM0 Way., What excuse is there for a strike at this timo for higher wages? With the commerce and industry prostrated all over the land, with hundreds of thousands of mechanics and laborers out of employ- ment, with manufacturers scarcely able to keep their heads above ‘water, the newspapers of the country are in no con- dition to advance the wages of their em- ployes. In Omaha, notwithstanding the public improvements and the various enterprises of the business men, the depression i more or loss folt. More than 1000 men have been thrown out of employment during the last six months inthe Union Pacific shops, They would gladly resume work at their old wages, byt they cannot do so as there is no work for them, and they are com. pelled to seek employment in other channels. Labor everywhere has been compelled to succumb to the inevitable, The cost of food and clothing and all commodities has been steadily declining for the past two or three years, In the face of all this the printers in the Brr office are earning from ten to fifteen per cent more than they were five years 8go, when they were satisfied, "The “scab” wages which we pay will en- able any competent printer to earn from $2.60 to 84.00 per day, year in and year out. Our printors’ pay-zoll to-day is 876 ® week more than it was two years go. But these facts have no woight with a gang of hoodlums and tramps who came here to orgavize strikes and create trouble. recont strike, and ever since, has boen such as o gz OMAHA DAILY wober laboring man and mechanic fair treatment and good wages are not what they want, They wanta fight wund the sooner they begin the better, They want strikes, and they want tontribu- tions from the labor of others to support them during their idleness. We appie- hend that the contributions will not be very numerous, WHERE IS THE MONEY ING FROM? Before another year rolls round Omaha will be confronted with the problem of how to raise sufficient revenue, under the present system of assessment, to meet the current expenses, which are constant- ly increasing with the growth and im- provement of the city. Before the water works were put in, we were posi- tively assured that when the works were completed the fire department expenses would be cut down three-fourths, as we would have a Jsufficient number of fire COM- hydrants to protect property. At that time, about three years ago, the fire department expenses were about $15,000a year. The water- works have been completed, and we are paying a tax of over 822,000 a year for hydrant rental, but the fire department expenses have not been cut down. We have, in four years, increased our police force from eight men to thirty; and the expense of this department from $7,200 to $27,000 a year. Other departments in the city have been increased propor- tionately. Weare levying a tax for street sprinkling,and we have justletacon- tract for street cleaning which will add $19,000 to the aggregate yearly munici- pal expenses. Where is all this money to come from, if the present system of ridiculously low assessment |is continued? How is it practical under the limitations imposed by the state con- stitution and the city charter in the levying of taxes to raise a revenue that will meet all these expenses and leave us besides a reasonable amount for ordinary improvements, such as grading, curbing, guttering, sewerage, and ro- pairs? There must be a halt called on the constant increase of municipal ex- penses, or we must have some way of levying a revenue to meet these expenses. Our expenses are bound to increase, and the only way to do is to increase our as- sessments to a reasonable figure. It is an outrage to longer con- tinue our property valuation at $7,000,000 which is considerably less than it was ten years ago. Does any sano man suppose for one moment that our property has not increased in value in ten years? Yet the assessors con- tinue to assess property at the samo old figures, when it is an undeniable fact that property has increased all the way from five to ten fold in value, Are they going to keep on assessing at the old fig- ures, while Omaha is growing tobe a large city of 100,000 people—a city of over five times the siza of what it was in 18707 What wo need and must have is immediate reform in our assessments, THE question whether a railroad com- pany is responsible for the acts of its employes is being pretty definitely an- swered in the affirmative by the supreme courts of the various states. The latest decision on this point has heen rendered by the supreme court of Massachusetts. The ticket seller of the Boston & Albany railroad at North Adams, sold to a pas- senger two tickets, one from North Adams to Chester, and the other, which was punched twice, and which the agent ropresented was good, for the remainder of the journey from Ohester to Spring. field, Whon the pasiesger tendered the punshed ticket to the con- duotor it was refused on the ground that it was worthless, He also rofused to telegraph to the agent av North Adams to learn whether it was good. The passenger, who would pay the soventy cents fare demanded by the con- ductor, was foreibly ¢jected from the oar at Pittsfield, whero he was handed over to a policeman and detained in the lock-up over night, In the morning he was released, no charge being preferred against him by the company. The North Adams ticket seller subsequently sent an apology the purchaser of the ticket for his blunder. This gentleman, however, thought that he was entitled to Their conduct during the | oY of Tdako. somothing more substantial than an ap- ology, and brought suit against the company for damages. \ The jury gave him a verdict for $4,600. Judgo Soule, counsel for the road, asked the court to rule that the conductor had a right to act ashe did since the ticket proffered was not good. The mistake ot the ticket seller heclaimed was something that the conductor was not responsible for, The court declined so to rule, but instructed the jury that if the purchaser oxercised reasonable care in the purchase of his ticket and bought it in good faith he was entitled to recover, The defen- dant appealed to the supreme court, and this tribunal has overruled the exceptions sustaining the ruling of the lower court. This settles the fact that a railroad com- pany must be responsible for the negli- gence of s employes whether they are 8 ¢ others. ticket se Tue dimimtive Harrison, who continu- ©8 to be called ‘‘the boy preacher,” al- though he is about thirty-five years of 8ge, is carrging on a successful revival in Lincoln, According to the Journal *‘an altar overflowed with weeping penitents” at Tuosday night's meeting.

The work of geading the route in now under way for a distance of four or five miles from this city. The hilltops are dotted with the tents and the oamp equipments of the graders. The line will run across the Union Paci- fic at the Summit and strike the new stock yards at the northwest corner. The route takes a southwestern course from this point and will again cross the Union Pacific somewhere between Pap- pilion and Millard, There are a large number of men and teams employed and the intentien is to push it to - completion before snow flies. The Cheyenne papers joyfully report that the ‘‘asinews of war” have been secured to push the consteuction of the railroad from Cheyenne to the Yellow- stone park. The capitalists who are to furnish the funds are coming west to Investigate the road and perfect plans for its conmstruction. The building of this much talked-of line, which now seems assured, will work a wonderful transformation in that region of Wyoming now almost uninhabited, opening up new fields of enterprise, and furnishing transportation facilities for the stock and mineral industries of the interior. The Sweetwater and Big Horn valleys rank among the best grazing fields of the terri- tory while the mineral wealth of the various districts contiguous to the pro- posed line will received a much needed stimulus, “A railroad to the northwest,” says the Sun, “which will combine the routes of the Cheyenne, Black Hills & Montana survey and also a line westward from Fort Laramie through the rich mineral sections of Alb‘ni, Carbon and Fremont counties, with & branch line tapping the stock country in Sweetwater county, and finally extending to the great national pleasure grounds, will open Wyoming's resources to the world and make her the greatest territory in the west. “*A somewhat significant fact in this connection iy the recent filing by Prof. Samuel Aughey on thirty-one placer oil claims, for the Bothwell syndicate, in township 41, range 81. This township is in the southern line of townships.g Johnson county, on the south park of Powder river, and but fifty miles from a very feasable route for a railroad west- ward from Fort Laramie.” The negotiations which have been in progress for some time between a com- mittee of the citizens of Laramie and stockmen of Albany county, Wyoming, and the land department of the Univn Pacific, did not result in a definite settle- ment of the question at issue—the pur. chase price of 600,000 acres of land in the county mentioned. Commissioner Burnham, of the land department, at first offered to sell the land in bulk at less than $1 per acre, provided no better terms could be had from, outside parties who were at the time negotiating for the same land. Before the Laramie syndi- cate had concluded to purchase a dispatch was received from the commissioner,put- ting the price at $1 per acre. This rather demoralized the syndicate. The conflict. ing interests of the ranchmen caused a delay fatal to the reduced price, and a failure to accept oven the terms of $1 per acre will result in stll higher ‘prices, The atmosphere of Mormondom is at present streaked with the sulphurous fumes of profanity, the like of which has not been equalled since the day of Til- den’s declination. The dispatches put it mildly when they stated that the apos- tles, bishops and elders and their angelic following were hot because congress had passed the auti-polygamy bill, The Mor- mon press have ransacked the histories of ancient and modern persecutions and culled from their teeming pages a suffi- ciency of adjectives to feebly express their contempt for the authors and sup- porters of the bill. **We are compelled,” says the Ogden Pilot, ‘‘to refer again to that infamous piece of Torquemada juris- prudence, to that reeking resuscitation of Now England blue-laws, which bears the name of Hoar.

Its career from its birth has been a continnous bat- tle with obstacles buildling and operat- ing, It scaled mountain sides only to strew them with dismantled engines and splinters of wrecked cars, Mountain torrents and bewildering canyons were spanned with costly bridges, to become playthings in the besom of summer floods, In the past winter its energics and treasury were taxed to dig its way through hugh snow drifts, a clear half million dollars being spent in that work, and scarcely had the snow shovels been put away than the summer thaws set in, washing away wile after mile of the track and blockading business for weeks, To add to “‘the full and rounded measure” of lon "h-;w, allachinenle sued, wud overy ei- ) and are sold everywhere, fort was mads to swamp what was left by the flood. It is hardly possible in the present condition of the company's finances to save the road from a receiver, Even if the vast damage which the road has sus- tained had not oocurred, the business of mining camps and mountain towns, bare- ly a fraction of what it was a year ago, failed to offset the drain on the treasury for repairs, leaving stockholders to whis- tle for a dividend. The blockade of business by washouts on the Salt Lake extension of the Denver & Rio Grande has forced the Burlington management to look around for a safer and better route through the mountains to Salt Lake City, The Denver Tribune, speaking of the movement, says: *‘The Burlington is surveying a new route from Denver to Salt Sake through Boulder canyon and Middle Park. This is not conclusive evidence, however, that it has decided to build an extension It has had surveying parties out between chis point and Salt Lake for two years. All the routes have been rejected as too costly. But a road through northwest Colorado would pay from its local traffic. It would open a virgin country that is full of varied resources.” The Engineering News reports that the Union Pacific has completed the surveys of aline to the Yellowstone National park.
