PAUL is urged by the Pioneer Press to adopt the plan of paying the cost of local improvements by bonds issued against the property improved, interest and sinking fund to be provided by an annual tax charge on the owner. This is, in effoct, the plan under which Omaha has been conducling her public improve- ments for several years with eminent sat- isfaction to all parties concerned. Close upon Secretary Lamar's decision that a commuted homestead cannot be set aside as a second pre-emption, comes word that the pre-emption law will cer- tainly be repealed at the present session of congress. The liberality of the land faws has been of fnealculable benefit in gettling up the west, but the time has come when the interests of the country can be fuily served by the homestend law. THE council seems to be in favor of gharging the strect railway company an annual rental for the use of the Elevonth street viaduct. This is an opportunity of trying the effect of disposing of valuable franchises so as to make them produce a ‘euonublu revenue for the city.

The entire front page of the New York Telegram of Saturday is taken up with a eartoon of] the labor, Lacoon and his children, Commerce and Agriculture, writhing in the coils of the railroad ana- conda. Over this suggestive picture is the title “Strangled by Monopoly,” and beneath it are the words “The Real Canse of the Strike.” The present strike on the Gould system is not, as the great railroad wrecker has stated the walkout, of large numbers of men to benefit one man, but it is the protest of the employes great railroad system against a long series of abuscs put into operation and carried out the millions of a single cap- Mr. Jay Gonld will not deceive the public. The abuses of management in corporate monopolie have been responsible for the great road strikes of 1877, 1884 and 1886, I less in the stocks of the ro: dishonest manipulation of the securities, deluges of “water” injected into the capital, bankrupt systems struggling to pay the interest on their bonds have all been followed by sweeping reductions inthe wages of employes and oppros- sive exactions to secure more work for less In every instance where the crimes of the I\\uv kings have ren- dered cconomy nece the pruning knife has been applied not to the salarics of the high priced officials but to the wages of the poorly paid employes. bor troubles have been 1nstigated by trouble in the treasurers office and the protests of the workingmen have nat- urally followed. Back of all the strikes and walkouts and boycotts among the cmployes of the corporate monopoly lics the dishonest management of the cor- porations and the wrongs which com- bined eapital in the hands ot the railroad wreckers visits upon labor in order to bolster up its schemes for further rob- bery of the public. Behind the troubles of the street railways in New York lay the insensate greed of grasping capital- ists not content with 20 per cent dividends on their inflated stock and anxious to roll up still heavier profits out of the sweat of their toiling drivers. The same ovil precipitated the coke troubles, the won mills strike, the puddlers’ and miners’ walk outs. Monopoly, entrenched behind millions of capital, with no other aim but to pile up the wealth of its pro- motors, levies its contribution first upon labor in its employ, while it taxes com- meree and agriculture to the limit which trafic will bear.” ‘“Neverin the tory of the world,” said a prominent v York merchant recently, ‘“‘have we seen such enormous accumulations of wealth suddenly acquired by any class as we have seen in this countr during the last quarter of a cen- tury through the carcers taxing all other classes in the community Within twenty-five years the Vanderbilt estate has grown from $5,000,000 to over $200,000,000. Within the same time the Central Pacific quartet have, it is esti- mated, extorted from the public more than $250,000,000. Twenty-f Jay Gould was not rated as a sm"lu mil- lionaire; within two ycars he r‘\lnbx(unl toan admiring group of Wall street friends railrond securities, variously imated, worth from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000, and it was announced that this was only a portion of his gains. The men connected with our transportation system, who are rated at $10,000,000 and upwards are too numerous to mention, and by far the greater portion of this has been accumulated within twenty years. The coils of the monopoly anaconda hold labor, commerce and industry in its grasp, and indignant protests from the suffering vietims are denounced as a con- spiracy against social order. But protest must be made, and made effectiv Combined labor is making itse unfastening tho relentless g vorate monopoly from its throat. It is the natural result of combinations of capital. Against a great corporate mo- nopoly coutrolling the railroad service of several states and gathering enormous profits from the public necessitics, the individual laborer is a mere helpless atom. If ho could deal with his employer face to face he might settle his own disputes, but he has to deal with the impersonal power of con- solidated capital, and he sees no means of meeting it but by an opposing consoli- dation, in which his individual judgment and action shall be absorbed in the im- personal judgment and action of his labor organization. Trades-unionism is thus the necessary consequence of monopoly. Itis an efort to preserve the rightsand interests of the many against the thr ening power of the few, to ine italist bbery The Real Estate Market, There are signs of heavy speculation m Omaha real estate during the present scason. Prices of all classes of property are rising with remarkable rapidity and hundreds of acres of new additions are being platted and thrown upon the mar ket. There are enough lots now laid out in the outskirts of Omaha to meet the re- quirements of a city of four ti While the steady n\lv.\nco i u growing city val ang upmiy in ¢ \ike our own is natu- \ neaithy there is such a g as fostering an. unnatu- ral and a dumaging speculation in municipal realty. When lots on the outskirts are advanced in a proportion four times that at which real estatein the business portions of the city ine value, the boom is largely a speculative one. Wholesale purchases of prope anarrow margin of actual investment simply for the purnose of turaing them over to a higher bidder at the first oppor- lumly presented, is nothing move nor less pure and simple vial demand, which s o continues, but it does not advance the general interest in the long run. Denver It has uudergone a spee- ulative eraze in estate and the 7ribune reads its patrons the follow- ing lecture upon the ofiects: ‘I'he attempts to get up a real estate boomn are tobe dopracated, Speculative exeitement in city property is not half so desirable for the community as many sensible men are in- clived to think. A steady, regular growth is by all means to b preferred. A rapid d- vance at any time simply means that a check and reaction mustcome in its train. The more rapld the advance the more severe the check and the wore prolonged the rcae- tion are swe to be. Climbing up the hill to slide down again is fun forboys, 1t has now | taken Deyver fully the exaggers eal estate reactied uuder the lwpulse of the boow, Speculators who then believed that there was 1o tap to the sky Lave been Loldiug the bag to recover from and cooling their enthusiasm through all this long dull period. They have simply been compelled to wait for the city to grow up to the prices they put on their property. Now that it has done this and reality is beginning to move upward it is folly to expeet a repeti- tion of the last unprecedented advance. It is the part of wisdom not to overdo a forutnate situation, This is grm(l advice which Omaha ean profit by in advance of the nccessity which in Denver has called it forth. The Busincss Situation. The expected spring boom has not yet put in an apj nee in business cireles The trade movement is chars one of moderate activity only, ¢ not guned the force and volume dicted by sanguine traders in the season. The widespre nd extending labor troubles are measureably responsi- ble for the hesitating progress of com mercal affairs, The erippling of opera- tionsin affected industries has an adverse effect upon devendent business interests, and the spreading agitation increases conservatism in many branches of production not directly concerned in existing disputes, Much of the pro- fessed apprehension of labor strikes or the effict of higher wages upon certain manufacturers and projected industrial operations is doubtless the makeshift ot buyers to dopress the market prices of raw materials; but enough of it is real to throw an element of uncertainty into business ealculations and dull the edgoe of enterprise. There is satisfactory im- ment in the dry goods trade, but the al jobbing interests do not show a gain. All things considered, the merchandise distribution is r, and there is a general hopeful- early adjustment of labor con- troversies and more confident and active movements in all branches of business. Trade failures are des ing in all sce- tions of the country—especially in the Eastern and Middle States. ufacturers report extensive orders This is especially the case in tes tile fabries. Iron continues mm with moderate demand. The grain trade is fairly active, with wheat showing a hard- ening and corn a lower tendency. The strength of wheat is due to the gradual reduction of domestic stocks, the mod- erate improvement in foreign demand and the possibilty of accident to the growing crop. The March report of the department of agriculture makes the vis- ible and invisible supply of wheat m the country on the .21st in- stant 150,000,000 bushels, against 210,000, 000 bushels at the same time last year. There is nothing to indicate that any seri- ous damage has been done to the grow- ing winter wheat by the variable weather of the past month. Spring seeding in the northwest is not lik under way before the fi From the Pucific slope the crop reports thus far are very encouraging, and a big yield of whent is confidentially antici- pated.

The tax payers of Omaha who are in- terested in the question of paving have been congratulated by the Herald upon their hairbreadth escape from a very dan- gerous conspiracy. This was nothing more nor less than an eflort to procurc delay on the part of the council for the purpose of enabling property owners to revise their judgment with regard to paving mate This effort to prevent hasty action under pressure from inter- ested contractors is denounced as a con- spiracy against the welfare of Omaha. Sinee the BEE is arraigned as the great conspirator, 1t picks up the gauntlet and challenges the champion of the wooden nt job, or the contractors, to pro- cintilla of proof that this paper over has been,or'is now influenced by cor- rupt motives or pecuniary gain in the position it has maintained in any discus- sion relating to public improvements, We dare these partics to name a single instance in which this paper or its owners were directly or indircetly interested in paving,water-works,sewering or grading. On the contrary, we have, from the out- sot, opposed every specics of corrupt job- bery in conncetion with publie works, Can the Herald say the same for itself and its owners? The BEE has no interest, finaneially or politically, in the choice of paving mater- ials, except so far as we are interested as a general taxpayer with all other tax- payers in preventing foolish and reckless investment in improvements and mater- ials that have failed to stand the test ahy- where. When we urged the council to extend the time for the choice of paving materials, we did so in the public interest.
