Winery thousand Russian liquor shops will b elosed on the 1st of Junuary through the government's decision to allow tho sule of liquov by retail only in hotels and eating houses. We venturs to say that about movty thousand * eating houses ' will be added to tho list on the 18t of January. OmauA must not let the agitation of th railrond to the northwest cease. Our people demand it and must secove it Other lines may build to Yankton and the north if they so desire, but what this community needs s a direct tine which | will give it neeess to the Elkhorn valley and its rvich tributary country. i assistunt-general manager of the Union Pacitic has signed his nume to n Thanksgiving proclamation in which it i neserted that the Lord i8 good to such a8 fuithtully serve the Union Pacilie. A great many members of the legislatnre and numerous subsidized editors ought to take n groat deal of comfort from this official document, whicn assures them that they will be taken in out of the cold. Tre monogamists of the United States will bo glad to learn that & wave of re- form hua struck the Utale polygamists. Albert Carrington, one of the twelve Mormon apostlos, after “n full and pa tient trial” by tho authorities of the ohurgh, has been excommunieated for adultery and laseivious conduct. Now if tho United States authorities will give the other eleven apostles a full and pa- tient trial, they would probubly be con- vigted under the Edmunds law for about Eho same offenses for which thoy have sct @down upon Brother Carrington. Tor Young Men's Christian associa- tion of this city ought to secure the sorviges of Sam, Jones W raise funds for a ¥, M C A building. At the conclu- slon of his mectings in St. Joe, he ewised $15,000 for u building in that city. Tho structure will be begun enrly next spring, For severul yours the pssocin tion in &t Joe had been endeavoring to get up & subscription for this purpose, but always without ultimato success. The wonderful foature 6f tho matter is, that Mr. Jonos, in less than an hour, shoutd be able, unassisted, to do wha Rhundreds could not do in yonrs. Jowes, the Nontenant- governor-elect of Now York, still rofuses to pry the ns. sedgamont levied upon him by the stute central commitico. The assessmunt wus about $10,00), but the committeo got nothing but pro mises,expecting of course that the wonlthy seale-miker would come to tho front with his chock. The resu.t of Jonos' course was to put the state com- mittoe “in a hole.” It could not pay its bills without again pussing nround the hat.

For instunce, the Herald says #hut Ford made a splendid showing, con sidoriug all things. Two yoars ugo the demovrutic candidute for shoriff got 36 per oont of the whole voto und Ford this ropeived 34 por contof theentire votu. ho Herwdd forgets thut thore wore throe eandidatos for sheriff two years ago, Mitlor, Lynch and Murphy. T'wo-thirds of Murphy's vote was taken from Lynch.

Complaints of railroad discriminations arious abuses which the peos ple of this state have suftered so long st the hands of corporate moropolios have not abated since the dishonest attempt of the last logistature to dispose of the ques® | tlon by the creation of a vailvoad commis- sion. This appendage of the railrouds is state atits actual value, and is being generally treatod with the silent contempt which it Its recommendations to the railronds of trivinl changes at stations and side tracks are adopted if they smit the convenience of the corporation mana- gers: otherwise they are promptly pigeon- holed. Of the long list of suggestions sentto the Union Pacific management every one of the least importance was rejected. The discriminating rates in conl from Sidney eastward wero sus tained on the ground that west of Sidnoy coal was laid down “at cost,” and com plaints of diserimination at other points were lightlybroshed azide with thread bare oxcuses of the necessity of such rates in order to meet outside competition. The only nction of the last legislature for the purpose of restricting ralrond ey tortion which has proven at all effective was the three-cent passenger bill, That wits u dofinite and peremptory measure and could not be evaded. Its operation is saving thousands of dollars every month to the people of this state. Its results are tangible, while those of the discre- tionary commission bill eannot be per- ceived by the nnaided vision. The gen- cral disgnst of the people of Nobrask ut the manner in wh they wora swindled out of effective anti-monopoly legislution should make itself felt at the next session of the legislature in the passage of a law fixing und determining freight rates upon the railrowds in this state. In no othe wuy enn the problem be satisfactorily met. To leave the question any longer to the tender mercies of tha corporation manngers or to the elastic conscience of the railrond managers' commission will be only to fasten more closely the shackles with which corporate oppression and monopoly greed have for years repressed the productive capacity of this state and bled its inhabitants to fill the pockoets of Wall street and Boston speculutors. Closing Streets The action of the council in refusing to pledge itself to close Fourteenth strect to a width of thirty feet, will be approved by all disinterested citizens. T'he churter does not contemplate the exereise of arbitrary power by the council invirtually confiseating property belonging to citizens, by closing up or nirowing thoroughfares. The owners of lots on any street huve invested their moncy and made their improvements under the assuranee that the strect is forever dedieated to public use, and the width as defined will remain unchanged. If it is equity to require a tender of Mages o property owners on &t that are to be graded for the proposed changes of elevation, it certainly would be unreasonuble and unvighteous to de- stroy or diminish property values by closing stroets or nurrowing them with- ot due compensation, The council may give a r'ght 10 a railrond to pass through astrect but they do not acquive the right 10 closo the stroet by so doing. It is a question whether any agreo- ments cither by ovdinaneo or resolution to close or narrow a stroes would be binding upon the city. The couneil has no power to prevent the next council from re-opening a street which it may close. Butauch a grant may mike com plications in tho future which it is the duty of the couneil to avoid. The muth- ods of the railronds sre well known. Posscssion is ten points of the law with them. When Omaha agreed to donate depot grounds to the Union Pucilic number of valuable lots were paid for out of the proceeds of the $200,000 bonds outsido of the dopot grounds. In other words, the trustees acting for the city Lought more grounds than the railroad was ontitled to under the contract. In spito of that fact the city haa never heen atle to recover these lots which are leased by the railvond company for mer- cantile purposes. Onoe lot the railvowds have possession of any strect and they ennnot be dislodged. T'o close the street or to nurrow it for the benetit of the rail- rouds will ve them virtual posscssion and it will take a groat deal of hard tighting to compel thom to vacate or widen tho street. The Labor Problem. The chief of the bureau of Iabor sti- tistios, Col. Wright, iy working hard to muke bis burenu an efficient aid in study- ing wha purhapsthe most important problem of the day. Ho is soeking to di- voree its work from polities, und to rid it of all prepossessions in favor of this or thnt economie theory. With this view he D secured the sorvices of u body of inyes- tigators of vavied ways of looking nt ceonomic questions, and ho is employing those indepondently of oach other so thut they may be corrective of each other’s prejudiocs, The mass of fucts and figures which Col. Wright hopes to guther eannot but fuenish highly v unhlo materiul for the thorough study of the lubor problem, a study which ought to precede sny sweening legislation on the subject That legislation is demanded no one can for wmoment doubt who reads the history of the methods by which the kings of monopaly have pilod up their wealth at the expense of the sullering public, and on the other hand, notes tie disor deved vuvings of the anarehists and sociulistic oxtremists, The rosponsibility for the dungers which threaten prop- erty interests and the prosent soci fubrie eannot in the light of omr expu enov in this country, be placed entirely on thy shoulders of the poor and hun- gry. Lhe dangerous classes to-day are the men whose vapacity, dishonesty und greod disregards every intorest of so- cioty but their own individual part in it, and who throw curses at the public while they bolster themselves in power by the aid of unrighteous laws and sub sidizad courts.

Elsowhero we publish a synop sis of Dr. Abbot's recent article on socis ism which is & very snggestive addition to the liwratura of the controversy semeremssemamreyn Extend the ¥i The council shonld lose no time in ex- tending the five limits to covor the busic ness portions of the city and the gtreets adjacent which may threaten their safe- ty. The present limits are too contrac- tod and with tho remarkable growth of Omaha are daily becoming moie so The time has come when enongh terri tory should bo taken in to secure us from the dangers of a conflagration which may sweep away hundreds of thousands of property in a singlo night In making the required five limits, the council should be guided by the tendency of business to take certamn dircetions in its extonsion, If the court houso is m: one center, o radius of six or seven blocks covering portions not already wthin the fire limits wouid do much towards securing the end necded. Other points can casily bo taken from which extensions can bo made to protect other scetions of the city. Sixteenth sty to Nicholas should at once be included within the limits, and before long the on- tire flats between the hill and the blufis must be protected in the same way. Omaha is still a city of frame houses and it will never be anvthing else until the authorities forbid the erection of tho shanties which are at once a source of danger to property and of disfigurement to our strects. Public interests and pri- vate interosts combine in demanding that the continued construction of dan- gerous wool shells shall promptly cense. With all our fire protection, a high wind would soon fan a spark into a contiagration if it once obtained lodge- ment in certain portions of our city, which nestls closely against valu: warehouses and stores.

Wiien brick oan be laid in the wall for $10 » thousand there is no reason why both business houses and residencos should not bo constracted of this five- proof muterial. Aside from the fact that good buildings pay better profits in the long run, the interests of the entive com- munity demand that their erection shall be enforced by such an extension of tho fire limite as will protect the property o both the wealthy and the poor. is not s LAmits. Now that the various department cons- manders are making up their reports and recommendations for the people of Nebraska will be interested in knowing how they aro to be treated in the way of enlarged mi dations for frontier protection. Nortl western Nebrs nd especially that portion wlueh lies below the great Sioux reserve, is waiting expeetantly for such \ges as will make it move seeurs from ible inroads from De.MceGillicuddy's rds. In am interview lately publishod the dactor strongly urges the largoment of Fort Robinson, the nearest post to Pme Ridge, and deelaves it, in his opinion, to be of the highest strategic importance of any of our frontier posts. Senator Manderson and Coagressman Daosey, who have lately visited the sec- tionnlsoreturn greatly impressed with the neeessity of building up and maintaining a strong militury post in this command- ing position, even if the historie but use- less Laranie should be let go in order to secure tne end.
