M. Rugewm, What does the broken-winded and readerless concern think of this exhibit ? In the twenty-six publishing days in the month of June the Ber has recelved and paid for 68,020 words of speclal dis- patches, or an average of 2,266 words per day. The telegraph bill of the Bee for the month of June was $458.70, while the Republican has paid less than $100 for all ils telegraphlc news, during the same month. The few speclal dispatches the Republican recelves from Nebraska towns and villages will not average 200 words & day. We have pub- lished our itemized bill for epeclal dis- patches, and now let the Zepudlican publish its bill for the same month, Our special dispatches may not be im- portant in the eyes of javenile journa. liste, but the steady growth of our clr- culation Indleates that they are ap- preclated by our patrons. We do not profess to have epecial correspondents in London, Parls, Berlin, Vienna, Bombay, Oalcatta or Khartoum. We eimply print “speclal” over all such dilspatches as are exclusively sent to the BEE from its eastern news bureau at Ohicago, which city, next to New York, is the greatest news center in Amerlca, There s no more deception in our publishing as speclals such telograms sent to Chicago, and re- peated fcom thera to Omaha, than there s deception.in the publication of the same class of dispatches as speclals In the Ohlcago and St. Louls papers, which got thelr speclals from New York. Outside of New York there s not now a paper in America that malntains special reporters in the capltals of Europe and Asia, Nearly all foreign specials now come through the New York Herald bureaus at London, Parls, Berlin, Vienna and Madrld, Several other New York dallies recelve speclal cablegrams once a week from London. So much for this gabble about deception, When the Republican has met our challonge to publish its telegraph bills for June, it wlll also confer a favor upon its duped advertisers by printlog a sworn statement of Its circulatlon, Such & state- ment would be very Interesting to partles who have been Imposed upon. We are ready with our statement at any day. Our average dally circulation for last week was as follows: Morning editition, 3,086; evenlog editlon, 4,804; total, 8,860, When the Kepublican can show a clroulation one quarter as large as that of the Beg it will be time for It to talk ahout enterpri Ir s rather cruel for the Denver Pribune Republican to refer to the edi- tor of the Omaha Herald as a ‘‘veterin- ary sargeon by the name of Miller,” who ““failed to get a place In Cleveland’s cab- inet, to which some of his horse frlends led him to belleve he was entltled.” Dr. Miller ought to fire one of his tarpedoes at that Denver edltor. Farmers are not generally credited with being good business men, but the Callfornla farmer who recently falled for $800,000, assets nominal, was undoubt- edly a close student of the most approved business methods of some of the most noted financlers who are now elther in tho penitentiary or In Caneda. It is not often tha! a farmer can reap such a har- ost in a elngle season. GeN, Howanrp is authorlty for the statement that the end of the Fourth of July Incideut in Salt Lake has not yet been reached, ss serlous trouble Is likely to be precipitated upon the slightest pretext on the 24th of this month. That day is the annlversary of the Mormon sottlement of Utah, and thouands of Mormons flock Into Salt Lake to unite in the celebration. 1t might be a good dea to recall a portion of the troops from the {ndlan territory and send them out to 8alt Lake.

Tue Omaha Republican, with a great tlourish of trumpets, declares that its polioy in publishlog a newspaper differs very much from the policy pursued by the Bee and le Infinitely soperior. We THE DAILY BEE-~FR1DAY, JULY 17, 1885 acknowledge the corn so far as the differ- ence Is concerned.

A 1In 1880 the federal census gave Omaha a population of 30,652, and Denver 35,629, The Nebraska state census of Nebraska gives Omaha 61,835, while the Colorado state census shows that Denver now has 54,407, In five years Denver has in- creased its population only 18,778, while Omana has Increased 31,183, or more than doubled her population, Omaha's chance for becoming a great city were never better. We want no mushroom booms. All we ask is that the rapld, steady and substantial growth shall continue. We care not how rapldly Denver grows, as that city has a territory Mormons want to be where no gen- tlle emigrants will ever trouble them, let them go to the Sandwlich Islands. If they want to go where Inquisitive wrlters of news lotters are not likely to Intrude, let them emigrate to the Sandwlch Islands. The United States would not persecute them there, for the Sandwich Islands are thousands of mlles from us, aud we have no navy. Most conclusive of all is the fact that the Saints and the natives would agree, for the princlpal vice of fhe Sandwich Islanders Is the (alleged) princlpsl virtue of Mormonism, The Ber has solved a most perplexing problem. UN PROFITABLE ADVERTISING, last of §85 in money, a valuable watch and chaln, and some clothing. It seems that susplclon rests upon a young man from Chleago, who made Frank's acquaintance a short time ago, and who bought some clothing from him a short time before the robbery was committed. Shortly afterwards the young man was heard tossy that he was Roing to Chicago and he disappeared that night as did also Frank's valuables, A FILCHING SIREN, A woman of easy virtue named Jennie Smith, was arrested last night, charged with robbing a young man named Charles Willlams of & §20 gold plece. The young man is not sure that the Smith woman committed the robbery, but as he lost the money while In her den, is confident that ‘‘vested” lle. Nobody quostioned It. Everybedy believed it. The great truth lay trampled out of sight under its feet. But the truth now at last is making struggle to ariss. 1t is looklng around at the world, It sees a grandeur, a fer- tllity, a beauty of field and forest, and lake and ocean; that never can be de- Ibed. Sees that In its very nature it Is an earthly paradise. Sees that it has been made to most of the human family an earthly hell. Asks, *‘by whom?” Is answered, ‘by a handful of scoundrels who call themselves lords of the sofl.” Asks, by what right! *By thls,” answer the little handfal of “‘lords,” and they point to the crasted sword of the Norman dastard and the sharp ground swords of thelr own hired mankillera. of her own, and her prosperity and growth cannot materlally affect Omahs. This clty has left Denver behind, and. as the BEr has sald before, It now propeses to catch up with Kaneas City. Tae Denver Tribunc-Republican ex- poses a lamentable ignorance when It says that the Unton Paclfic Is attempting to break down the basiness of Denver in the Interest of Omahs, and that Omaha could not live without the ald of that corporation. This assertion is Indeed amusing to the people and tax-payers of Omaha who have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars in lands and bonds to the Unlon Pacific, and never recalved a dollar’s benefit In return. That rail- road to-day has Immense tracts of lands in the very heart of the clty upon which 1t pays no taxes, bacause they have been exempted under the pretext of right of way, yet many of these lots are leased out for coal yards, smeltlng-works, ele- vators, lumber yards, warehouses, etc., and produce a revenue for the company bat not a cent of revenue for the clty. Had the Union Paclfic fulfilled its obli- gations to Omaha and not thrown obsta— cles In the way of her progress and pros- perity, she would to-dsy have been a city of over 100,000 pecple. The Union Paclfic for years has been as much of a drawback to Omaha as the Tribunc-Re. publican eays it has been to Denver. AccorpING to the Republican "the evening edltion of the BEk Is a dlsgrace to Omaha, and would not be tolerated in any discriminating community., As a matter of fact, the evening edition of the Bek Is the largest’and most complete af- ternoon newspaper published in Amerl- ca. Therels rots New York or Chi- cago afternoon dally that contains as much reading matter, and in proportlon to population there {s not another paper, morning or evening, that is so ganerally clrculated and patronizsd. If it were published in a discriminating communlity made up of corporation tools, but who who confine their newspaper reading to subsidiz)d organs, it would not, perhaps, be tolerated. —— Uxver the Imprestion that Mr. John Grant had severed hls connection with the Barber asphalt paving company In this clty, we commended his appolnt- ment as asphalt pavement Inspector as a very proper one, but we have sluce learned that he is still In the service of the company. Under such circums!ances and drawlng pay from thecontractors and the city at the same tlme, we very much questton the propriety of the appolnt. ment. No man can properly eerve two masters, e Kaxsas Ciry has been begglng for some one to bulld a hotel In that town. Now that she has secared the locatlonof the branch penitentiary of Missouri she will probably be satisfied, There are some places that need s penitentlary more than a hotel, and the dlsappolnted towns that were competing for this prize will probably, In sour-grape style, ssy that Kansas Clty is one of those towns. Tae St. Lo Republican eays: *‘Higgins is not a collossal figure by any means, but he manages to absorb a full share of publlc attention. He has a great mouth,” It might have added that every time he opens his mouth Higgins puts his foot In 1t MamoNE still kesps up his reputation as a readjuster, His little d!fforences with Riddlsberger have all been patched up, and now peace and harmony prevail, The burlal of the hatchet between these two slatesmen was the olosing scens of the firet day's session of the Virginla state republizan convention. Amid the din and confasion aud excltement, inel- Why Oards, Circulars and the Like Are Failures as Advertising Medinms, New York Commercial-Advertiser. Within the last fow years it has become the fashlon with some people to do thelr advertising in thelr own private way in- stead of through the newspapsrs. Some dlstribute cards, some clroulars, some pawphlets, some even almanace, and Inconcelvable monstroaities of odddity, circulating them by the hundreds or thousands through the mails. The prin- ter's art has been taxed to the utmoat to gratify the taste of these advert'sers, Scme of the finest as well as some of the baseat specimens of the art of engraving, of chromo-lithographing and of color printlng are belng produced for these purposes, and every concelvable style ot fancy paper is brought into requisition, The advertlsers vie with each other In the elegance of their designs and the cost- liness of thelr devices, taking it for granted that the receivera will conform thelr estimate of the status of the adver- tiser to the artlstic pretentions of his advertissment. Some people may regret that the nsble art of printing, at the period of its highest achlevements, should be subj:cted to such debasing use; | P! bat, to those who thus employ the art, it should be equally a matter of concern that the debasement 80 completely fails of the object for which 1t is intended. With him who notices such advertise- ments at all, the firat feeling on recelving one of these superb specimens of typog- raphy or engravings s apt to ba one of disgust that it relates to the artistic pur- suits of his butcher or his bootmaker, or that the subjects of its elegant illustra- tlons are chairs and tables, refrigerators and brooms; he throws it down with an Indefinable grudge agalnst the man who has been gallty of such a ridlcalous pros- titutlon of art, and, without exactly knowlIng it, he s dist'notly convlnced that 8 tradesman who spends so much money in such an {ncongruous way is not likely to be endowed wlith the common sense of & good man of businees or to sell cheaply. In truth, however, those who take any notice whatever of this flood of announce- ments form but a very emall percentage of those who recelve them. 'They have come to be the nuisanca of both the par- lor and the countlng room. At home they are bever opened but with disap- pointment, because they come In the place of lotters really hoped for. In the office the merchant finds his morning mail stuflzd with these instructions upon the serlous affalrs of his businees, which he inwardly curges or {mpaticntly con- slgns to his waste-paper heap. In short, if a public vota could ba taken, it would unavimously declars these drumming wisslves to ba an intolerable nulsance that should be denled the privilage of the mails. Men of business who resort to the method of adverlising cannot be ignorant of the fact that people whom they would reach have become nauseated with it. They must be aware thatthey themselves disregard all appeals for patronage; and what reason have they to suppoze that others recelve thelr applications with more patience, Sagaclous advertlsers are beginning to s:e this and are returnitg to the old method of publlc announce- ment. The newspaper is in every sense, the best medlum for advertslng; and for a glven result, it is by much the cheap- ost also, It reaches a far greater num- ber of poasible customers than any pri: vate announcement can; and it fs° more certain to recelve attention, The private lrcalar is thrown aside as a thing which people have come to regard as a bore, sod which {s neglected because its recl- plents have no tlme to attend to it, The newspsper Is used in each day's hour of lelsure, and read- era find Interest In readivg its advertise- ments as well as Its news, because of the variety they present and and the iafor- matlen they convey respecting a wide di- versity of interests. It may be eafely estimated that an amnouncement msde through the press is noticed by fifty read- ers, where, ‘made in a private way, It would reach but one. If, therefore, the same amount were expended in either case, the result would be fifiy-fold better from the former mothod than from the latter. There are, undoubtedly, cates in which the clrcu'ar is a better medlum than the newspaper. Such, for Instance, s where the matter s necessarily lengthy and the cost of newspaper space would therefore bs very larga. Such cases are qulte exceptional, and the sooner adver- tirers learn the folly of thelr present large expenditures In s:eking publiclty through private mesns the better for their peokets and thelr succees, she ls conneoted with the theft. e Is that in the present day a sufficlent A POSTED SPOILSMAN. answer!
