M 5 A COMMON SENSE VIEW. The Local Sitnation Calmly aud Cane- fully Discnssed, Valuable Snggestions on the Oity's Policy—Public Matters in General, Omaua, Neb, nuary 1, 1885 A law abiding people; a common sense people; a public spirited people; a rea- sonable and conservative people, and a positively united people—such should be the people of Omaha. First, A law abiding people, a people who want existing laws enforced, believ- ing them os made for a purpose and therefore not to be ignored or set aside on any account or pretext whatsoever, 1t is necessary for all officers and thelr subordinates, having in charge our sys- tem of lawe, to execate the same, oven to the minutest detall, for the welfare and safety ot the peoplo and the common. wealth, as for the sen captnin or & rail- rond condvctor and their subordinates to carry out in fall detail their aystem of rales and rogulations for the welfare and safoty of their passengers and property; and any doviation from lawful duties by any man in charge ‘of that, apper- taining to the community, should be im-. mediately declared a sufficient reason for #uch man to be bounced, same as he would be if negligent of duty on an ocean steamer or a railroad traln, “Oh!"” says some citizen, “my liberty and my business must be respected and not in- terfered with.” Well, ‘‘the way of the transgressor is hard,” but the greatest good of the whole must be respected, and if possible assured, and to accomplish this, our laws must not be ignored or counted for naught, any more than the pilot’s rudder in the storm or the brakes on a moying train. To not make use of that rudder means death and destruc- tion. To not operate those brakes means a general smash-up and fearful conse- quences, The rudder and the brakes were made for a purpose, 80 were our state or city laws, therefore to violate or repudiate, or make a dead letter of our laws, means to block the wheels of our progressive civillzation and bring us to sore disgrace and poverty. Oh! proud citizens of beautifal Omaha—the very gateway of where the balance of power of the natlon is to be—arise from your slumbers and mee the opportunities neglected, and make sure your posltion and good name, and aiso make happy the poor man's home by paying due respest a8 citizens to law and order. Second. A common sense people is a thinking people, and they should think and decide botween good and evil, and if the majority who thus think will give persnasive expression of thought to one another, then a united feeling will exist for the right, and really will be a power- ful influence in molding public opinion for that which is good and best for the greatest number. Right here lot me call your speclal attention to the faot that we will as a people and citizens make void and prove to be false our po- sition taken and declared, that we are a commongenss, and a right thinking, and a rightly disposed people, unless we as citizens In large numbers take a firm stand together agalnst the election of any man to hold auy office or place of trust whatsoever on account of party or poll- ties. ‘We must do away with this old order of things and only elect good men to office, regardless of political creed or greed. And after our experience in the paet in being brought to disgrace by the astounding outbursts of corvaption” and fraud, I am willing to stand alone, if necessary, and say shame to any man or set of men who will again mislead this community by placing at the polls a ticket, republican or democratic or citi- z3n8, or what not, that shall bear the vames of any unworthy men. That moy (do for a mational olestlon, whers mon to ba elected ave stran- gors to us and each other, so that good and bad in all parties may be brought to the light and thoroughly agitated, but is entirely out of place where many well-to- do and well-meaning citizens, no matter what their condition, have a chance to know who is worthy and deserves his unite this winter in havin, that will privilege the cl‘ tax every lot owner for the extra four- teen feet in front of his lot, and thus cur- tail all streets that are platted at 100 feet to a width of 72 feet, and this would furnish a street repairing fund and would be a great benefit end blessing to the city s a whole.

A reasonable and conservative people should also be inscribed upon our banner, and to its warning we must take heed, While we should be public spirited and enterprising, we should also bo_con- servative. We must think and know when to cry a halt in public expenditures that do not warrant any good outcome or income, Every property holder, and enpecially those owning their littlo home, know full we'l that very much grading of streets has been done that is unwise, unneeded and suicidal, and should be ttopped for many reasons. Both grading and paving should be continued, but only to that extent each year as shall not em- barraes but strengthen our financial growth, and shall not cause the poor man or delight in and praise the city of their choice and home. A conservative labor- ing man recently remarked, that if pub. lic improvements continued at this rate a become o0 poor that the laboring man cannot obtain a living here. not only been going too fast the past year, but in some respects have gone to extremes, and to continue in such ex- treme and rapid expenditure will in time bring ruln to the capitaliats and property owners, and laboring man alike, heavy and wide grading of streets, nonsensical, and spoiling the heauty and lessening the comfort and value of so many homes. Who cannot fail to see where they cross each other (which is, of course, necessary), but cutting them 100 feet wide, insteaa of 72 feet wide, causes the grading to be madoe much deeper in order to afford the same as- cent or descent on the streots, up and down the hill, from each side of the 100 foot cross street, than would be necessary to afford the same ascent or descent from such cross street, {f it was only 72 can show this up in sstonishing figures— but this heavy cutting for wide streets atfocts the value of property on any side hill where it runs, very materislly, as it cuts lots forms a useless side of puch streets; and beside all this it | Mince spoils trees and shrubs of great value, and feet wide.

HIMEBAUGH, NEW STONE YARDS. ceive a Valuable Addition, The quarrying interests of this city, already quite extensive, are soon to bs materially increased. Drexel & Foll, the well-known firm of Omaha, have bought a block of property adjacent to the cor- ner of Sixth and Jones streets and pro- pose to lay out an extensive stone yard equipped with the necessary machinery used in connection with the business of a vote. Well, if we are a common sense and thinking poople, we often fail in that we do not have the time or use the time necessary to bring absut reform, and in proper time secure to us s citizens what would have been very many grest and important advantages. Third. A public spirited people—a peo- ple who are or should be willing to sacri- fice many individual and sulfish Intereats, that the good of the people in general may be red, and also a people where- in the majority of business men are will. ing to each stand out alone and battle for individual success and independence in their many and scparate enterprises, and yot be actuated with brotherly love and public zeal, 1 might here go into large details, but will only speak of & few worthy faocts, Flive years ago Omaha had but little pub. lic spirit. but she has been taking a new departure. Behold her business blocks to-day—behold her paved streets, now covering nearly the whole business center | & Fol). 3 clty raised out of the mire and clsy large stone yard—gang saws, rubbing beds, derricks, oto. The work of filling up tho lots has been}commenced, and the yards will probably bo ready for opora- tion before spring. The business to be handled embraces every kind of first-class work, including the finer kinds of dress. ing and polishing. 1t will obviate the necossity which has hitherto existed of sending to Chicago for the finer grades of work. Mr. J. F. Coots, builder of the new court house has also purchased a block of land adjacent to the same property, and contemplates the layiog of a stone yard *‘plant,” to cost about $35,000, to handle the same class of work. This move, however, is undeclded, as Mr, Coots has some thought of going to Texas. In case, however, he does aot leave Omaha, he will settle down to the work of laying out the stone yards, ac- cording to plans which he has already i drawn up. _His business, however, will be entirely distinct from that of Drexel Ti of former yeare, and set as it were upon |tion in the stone business of the city, a rock, and that to stay, and cause the [and will eventually prove a great thing admir; only the beginning. k be greatly extended as business demands, mf other public improvements might follow In the way of parks and a boula. vard out Cumiog street and south to Leavenworth street, and east to St Mary's avenue, Increased valuation of the land and route would, we think, war- rant such to be accomplished slowly and + Permanent residence str muat one by one be narrowed, parked, and paved, and a loud, earnest, "and un mistakable call should be made to all|the brief particulars of a sensation whicl railroads centering here to join each|has recently been sprung upon that city, other In erectlug a grand union passen-|The facts, ver; gerdepot, This would only be in keep- | these: Wedne: o ing with the growth and necessities of a | Tina Willer died at Papillion, from the clty, which has given them a patronage |effects of a crlminal abortion.

Long before day-break the busy toilera of the night bad been preparing the forme, and pressos had been set to work printing the enormous edition of 25,000 copies. By 8 o’clock the supplement was roady for eale and active newsboys, eager for the first sight of the long-expected publieation, thronged the office in glorlous anticipation of a rich harvest to be reaped. And they were not disappointed. The supplement, to use a hackneyed though expressive metaphor, sold like hot oakes, Everywhero they wero purohased by those whose curiosity has longanticipated the publication, From east to west, from north to south, the copies were scattered to the tunefnl cry of the nowsboy: “'Ere's yer suvplemen’! 'Ere’s yer sup. plemen’'!” Supplies were quickly ox- hausted by the hoys, who returned at in- tervals of varying lengths to ‘‘atock up " Some of the newsboys scored a briliiant hit on the sale of the publication, For example, one boy made over $15 on the day's sale, another $12, while nearly all of them made profits ranging trom these sums down to $4 or §6. Some of the little scamps, by a species of piracy (a miniature edition of the railway policy of the age) took advantage of the public curiosity to such an extent as to charge twenty-fivo cents for each copy. Soon afterwards, when the supply became somewhat com- mensurate with the demand, the tariff was lowered to fifteen cents, whence it finally dropped, as the day advanced, to the standard price of ten cents a copy. It is safe to say that the past records of the American newspaper business would have to be pretty thoroughly searched be. fore a similar Instance of the public demands sustaining the price of a paper at twenty-five cents a copy could be discovered. Long years ago, when papers were few and dearly priced, might the instance be parallelled; and the case in question is a the new court house. ready tor shipment, and will be for- warded In a few days. RETURN Or the Triy of Conaty Commissioners, Detatls of the Trip—The Furnlshing ot the New Court House, Mr. Richard O'Keeffs and B. P, Knight, membors of the board of coun- ty oommissionere, returned to this city night bofore last. Mr. Corliss, the third member of the board, returned Wednes. day morning. The commissloners report a most suc- cessfal trip eastward. Their first busi. ness stopping place was at Detroit, Mich., whoro they had a long consulta- tion with Mr. E. E., Meyers, tho arch- itect of the new court house, It had been the original plan—that pro. posed by Mr. Meyera—to ocut the banks around the court house to within a distance of threo or four feet of the portico, and at that poiat, after sinking down twenty-one feet, to build up the rotaining wall. This plan, how- ever, was objected to by the commission. ers, who argued that the enormous pressure brought to bear by the founda- tlons of the building could not well be reslsted by so slender a barricade as three or four fect of dirt. It was finally decided that sixteen feot of dirt should be allowed botween the portico and the retaining walls, and beginning from this point the wells, two feet In thickness will be built. Two feot of the sidowalk will be allowed for the double flight of steps, which are to be built of granite. 1In this way the great- est possible strength of foundation and retaining walls will be secured. This view of‘the matter was readily acceded te by Mr. Meyers, after a careful expla- nation of the situation, From Detroit the three commissioners proceeded to Fast Saginaw, Michigan, whore they viewed the new furniture which is boing prepared at that point for It is entirely In company with Mr. Meyers, Messrs, O'Koeffe, Corliss and’ Knight then pro- coeded to New York City, where they | G# entered upon tho active work of purchas- ing chandeliers and gas fixtures. was spent in oach of four large establish- ments, Archer & Pancrost, s large and well A day The contract was finally let to curious and pointed commentary upon the publicappreciationof the supplement.
