The woods of Nebraska are full of them, Tur Herald has at last got even with President Bechel of the city council. It has “illustrated” him d president of the city council by a vote of 9 to 2. This was n little too unanimous to suit the Herald. Our report of the city counail proceed- ings fails to show that Mayor Boyd sent in his resignation. He is probably resigned to the situation. Mgr. W. F. Brener got there once more. The plotto “down’’ Bechel has not been what our the: al friends would call “‘a howling success.” OMAHA is to have three more letter car- riers. Some of these days the postoflice department will discover that a growing city of 75,000 population deserves postal facilitics at least equal to ecastern towns of a third of its sizc. JUAN BoyLE was in Oni and his remarks about the present ad- ministration would fill several large sized volumes. Mr. Boyle on the whole would prefer a republican president to what he calls “the outfit” at Washington. ha vesterday Max 6th is the day set for the decisive vote on the home rule bill, The interval will be filled up with debates on tho land purchase bill and the budget, on either of which the government may be thrown ont if the_coalition which Salisbury and Hartington are attempting toform comes to a head. THERE is a demand on the part of citi- zens in the neighborhood of H: park that the streots in that viei given more attention on the pa city council. Some of them ar wretched condition and require more or less grading to make them readily acces gible as avenues to Omaha’s pleasure grounds, ‘THE Atlanta Constitution perpetrates a base libel upon the rural humorists of this stato by asserting that “‘the so-called taken bodily from the local column: the country weeklies in Nebraska.” This 1s a southern outrage, and should be re- sented in no uncertain tones at the next aneeting of the Nebraska editorial asso- cjation. THE city council put the right man in the right place when they re-elected President Beehol as their presiding ofli- cer. Mr. Bechel has made a good rocord both as a councilman and as an execu- tive. Heis cool, clear-headed and de- stermined, with excellent business capa- oity and sound judgment upon ‘matters of public inter 1t must be gratifying to President Bechel that he received the unanimous republican vote in the coun- cil and the votes of every democratic amember with but two exceptions. No more interesting ‘taken up in Omaha nowadays than that of the daily transfers of real estate. They tell an interosting story of the growth of Nehraska’s metropolis. Property is now constantly changing hands, for purposes of private improvement, at figures which # year ago would have been considered excessive, but which to-day promise handsome and safe returns on the in- westment. Population and wealth are “both increasing rapidly in Omaha. ‘The ‘oity is steadily gaining in men of means, who see in its location and business ad- wantages brilllant opportunities for the Anvestment of their capital. A verylarge ~ proportion of the sales of property ‘within the corporate limits are made not " for speculative purposes but with an Mvowed intention on the part of buyers 0 improve for the rents which they will Pring. Whilo thero is without question 0 undue inflation of speculative values . in some of the property laid out miles " rom the business centor, lots in the city * limits when compared with property in . other citics of our size are changing b bands at moderate pricos. Omaha real | estate is a good investment, and that this faot is understood may be seen from the Adarge purchases which are being made i m\vouk by foreign capitalists who study can bo retain. © BEpALia’s Knights of Labor have rod rosolutions ondorsing Master * Workman Powderly, denouncing law- | lossness, disorder and the destruction of ' property and favoring the presentation of " & petition to tho general executive board " wyhich will take the power of ordering strikes and boycotts out of the hands of " ‘distriots and place it in those of the gen- " eral executive committoe, This is sound . gense from sensible workingmen and * mechanics. Ilfthelevel-headed Powderly d had the direction from the start of 0 workingmen In the southwest, will- s of dollars of damage and loss would have been prevented. There would have been no strike in all probability, and [ the differences would have been settled the basis of n peaceful arbitration 5t as the labor differences in Omaha wo been adjusted in Omaha by the orkingmen and mechanics of the Union fio. Strikes,let it never be forgotten, d bo the last resort, only to bo as- ed when all other methods have failed. 4s the underlying principle of the hts of Labor whe have won & hun- other viotories in the east without Joss of an hour of work or a dollar of 2 Sedalis's hts ba ienced Wltects or & 3t Bafe Investment. The increaso in lonn and buildng as- sociations throughout the state is gratify- ing. Searcely a week passes that new articles of incorporation for these bene- ficial organizations are not recorded in our exchanges, Under honest and pru- dent management they are the safest and the readiest method by which men of moderate means may procure & home by small savings and regular payments Omaha has a number of such institutions all in prosperous operation. No city has more thoroughly tested the merits of building associations than Philadelphia, which counts them by the hundreds. It is largely in consequence of their success that Philadelphia boasts to-day of 1 ing morc homes than any other city America. Over 1,300 permits were taken out in March for the erection of new dwellings alone, the largest number on record in any one month of Philadel- 7. Last year 5,406 dwellings an unprece- dented number, and the chances are that 1886 will improve upon 1885, Commenting on these figures the Cleve- land Leader says: “There can be no better ground for public satisfaction and thankfulness than such statistics as these. The immense number of new dwellings is not due to the rapidity of Philadelphia’s growth, for the same in- ¢ of populdtion would have caused construction of very few private s, comparatively speaking, in New York or even in Chicago, Boston, or al- most any other large city. It is the great blessing of the Quaker metropolis that its people haye long had the habit of buy- ing and living in their own houses when- ever possible, and the workingmen of the aty are so largely skilled me i who earn good wages most of the time, that they have been able, in an immense number of cases, to gratify their laudable desire to possess homes. It is d to exaggerate the value of such a state of aflairs in any community in which it exis Where homes are nu- merous local pride and public spirit, obedience to law, love of good order, fidelity to the duties of citizenship, and all the qualities which make men valu- able to a city, a state or a nation, are sur to flourish to an extent utterly impossible where the poor live in tenement houses and the well-to-do in flats. The man who owns his house, however humble it may be, has a sense of socurity, of being rooted in the town or city of his choice, and of having a per- sonal interest m its future welfare and its growth which are only 1 valuable to the community than to himself. He has a powerful incentive to industry, so- briety and prudence in order that he may adorn and improve his home, and in all respects he is influenced in just the way which leads to private happincss and public prosperity. Making Way for the Farmers. The rapid manner in which the stock ranges of Nebraska are being taken up by the rush of settlers in northern and west- ern portions of the state is resulting m a general movement of herds to the north. Within the past six months arrangements have been made by a number of western cattle companies to transfe tock to Montana. Several have leased ranges across the line in the British possessions. In the section of northwest Nebraska, which two years ago was occupied vn- tirely by the cowboys, scarcely a thou- and head of range cattle remain. South in Cheyenne county preparations are also making for the coming exodus. ment and ranching cannot go h hand, and the stock owners appreciating that fact are gracefully submitting to the inevitable. The change from large ranges to cnclosed pastures will been accomplished before the close of the present decade, Nebraska, even with the large herds gone, will still be a heavy cattle grower. Iowa to-day with no free range Las nearly a million and & half of cattle. Nebraska with closer proximity to the ranges and an unlimited amount of cheap food in the shape of corn will before long surpass these figures. The large stock ranches are making way way for the small stock farms. Home grown meat offers great possibilities for the industrious farmer. The day of turn- ing immense herds out on the plains to battle with the snow and sleet is chang- ing to that of providing ample shelter and food with a steady market for the su- perior meats produced by superior meth- ods. Improved stock, well bred, well cared for and in a condition to be held sufely for a favorable market is an ave- nue for acquiring wealth which is open- ing itself to our people and which will be promptly seized and turned to advan. tage. Mayor Boyd's Message. The message of Mayor Boyd to the council is a brief and comprehensive sum- mary of the condition of city financesand the condition of municipal affairs in Omaha. Omaha’s public debt is now less than a million of dollars, or 957,050, which will be reduced in a few months by the payment of $100,000 school dis- trict bonds. This indebtedn, as the mayor notes, is small for a city of our size, and still smaller in comparison with other cities of the same population when the large amount of public im- provements sccured for the money is on into consideration, Owing to the overlup of past years the city was unable during the last twelye months to do much geading, but the next fiscal year will find us in a position to meet all the pressing requirements in this particular, The mayor estimates that Omaha will be able to safely expend during 1886 $950,000 for public improvements, Of b amount the ity will be called on to pay about one-fifth, not one-third as stated by Mayor Boyd. It is a matter for congrat- ulation that Omaha’s financial standing is of the highest character. OQur five per cent bonds now find a ready sale at from three to five per cent premium and are rated as gilt edged municipal seeuvities owing to the safeguard thrown around the Incurring ®f ipdebteduess by the charter provisions. Mayor Boyd calls attention to the amount snnually expended for street re- pairs, which he suggests should be kept to the lowest limit. He advises an i crease in the police force und a new o gsuization, with control under a board of cowmissioners. Lais would, of course, requive & chaunge in the charter by leg islative enactment. ‘There 15 no ques- tion that our police is entirely inadeqnate for the proper protection of Omaha, but until the eity secures by an honest assess- ment sullicient funds to conduct the gov- ment ns it sheuld be conducted, there is little hope of improve- ment in this particular, 1In direct- ing attention to the water supply for fire protection and its efliciency in cer- tain parts of the city Mayor Boyd touc a vital subject. He suggests spec vestigation of means to remedy the de- ficiency in pressure at the highest points and those most distant from the pumps, and notes the reckless manner in which hydrants have been located whero they are practically useless. This is in a line with Fire Chief Butler's report, which opened up the subject in & manner most interesting to our taxpayers who are pay- ing a round sum every year for the best sorvice. The public gchools, fire department and rages are briefly touched on in the messago. For the first incrcased accom- modations are asked for the increasing school population. This is a matter which lies entirely within the control of the board of education whose funds are ample for all the necessities of the situa- tion. Like Chief Butler, or Boyd thinks that Omaha is paying too much to insurance companies in premiums, i which theory he will be of course opp by every insurance agent in the city He p: a deserved compliment to our sewerage system and ealls for its exten- sion. The £100,000 in bonds voted at the last election will be expended in extend- ing the north and south main sewer: while the Waring system will be inere: ed by the addition of several districts during the present Iy Mayor Boyd closes his reports by assur- the council of his co-operation in all measures for the good of the city from which we judge tnat he has dismissed from his mind any thoughts of giving up the oflice of mayor until the close of his term. Gould’s Perfidy. The press of the country with but few. exceptions hold Jay Gould responsible for the suffering which has resulted from the continuance of the strike upon his southwestern system. When Powder], had finished his famous interview with Gould the impression was general that the great railroad wrecker had consented to submit the dispute to arbitration. Powderly was so certain in his beli he ordered the strikers to resume work, the stock market at once rose in sympa- thy with public belief that the trou- ble was over and everyone re- joiced over what scemed @ termination of the long drawn out difli- culty. Butnosooner had the order for resumption of work been issued than Gould repudiated his agreement and dis- avowed his promises. He pretended that he had been misunderstood, and he declined to instruct his subordinates to meet his workingmen half way. Stocks at once fell and Gould reaped the benefit of the fluctuation in the market. The perfidious little man, whose entir wealth has been accumulated through dis- honesty, chicanery, trickery, fraud and bold defiance of law, added to his laurels as a schemer and to his wealth as a millionaire by this last picco of treachery, but he has also added to the store of public indignation, against which some day he must run counter. He has sacrificed the public so often on the altar of his grasping ambition that another ex- hibition of s habitual duplicity may scem a trfling matter. A reckoning, however, is certain to come. The man who deluged Erie with water, aganst the mandates ot the court, and purcha: entire legislature in erder i iniquity, who saddled Union Pacitic with a debt of millions, who threw Wabash into bankruptey, and swindled Wall street on Manhattan, is reaching the end of his tether as an operator at the expense of public endurance. The Interstate Commerce Bill. The prospects for the passage of any bill for the regulation of interstate com- merce at the present session of -congress are not flattering. worrying and delay is Washington, and bids fa cessful as ever. The Reagan bill has been pa , with 1o pros- while neys over Cullom’s anti-discrimination me ure, whose milk and water provisions are thoroughly endorsed by the corporations armless to theirinterests. A few days ago the senate committee on interstate commerce reported an amendment in- sing the penalty for violation of its ons from $1,000 to 000, as if citherof these amounts had any terrors for the railroad managers. Cullom’s bill is intended solely to block Mr, Reagan's measure, It does not aim to force the railroad companies to perform their du- ties as common carriers. Its author is entirely in sympathy with the monopo- lists) and is entirely obposed to any legislation whiech would afford redress to the public from the grievances under which they are suffering. 2he Cullom bill was framed as a sop to public sentiment, 1f passed it would have about as much effect in preventing the evils of railroad mismanagement in their relation to the public as a paper wad would on a two-turreted monitor, No one expeets it to pass. The senate attorneys for the corporations find it valuable asa bar- rier to the passage of other and more eflective measures and are using it for this purpos Towa's legisiature adjourned yester- day amid scenes of disgraceful confusion, The senate will sit as a court of impeach- ment in the case of ex-Auditor Brown on May 10th, when the old points at issue will be thrashed over again for the bene- fit of the public. The attempt on the part of the house to mmpeach dudge Hayes failed in the closing hours of the session, The legislature, amid a shower of waste paper, spittoons and profanity, finally adjourned, much to the satisfac- tion of the good people of lowa who will now have a short respite from such per- formunces at the capital, — Asipr from the Southwestern railroad strike the general industrial condition of the country has materially improved dur- ing the week, The number of persons on strike has been decreased 25 per cent.; highor wages have been conceded in a large number of manufacturing estab lishents ; more eapacity is at work, and manufacturers give more nopeful reports than last week., —— ‘Tag Herald illustrates the new council. ‘The ouly recognizable picturé is that of Pat Pord, to whom the artist has done Justice.

That is, the tailor took the clothes back. “Iho green grocer in London sclls vegotables, In this country who trusts, man in illinols was killed whilo singing willow.” Why he was let off so easily is diftienlt to explain. “Why does the doctor smell of his eane?” asked the little girl invalid of her wick ed brothier. *He Is probably making the diag- nose sis,"ssald the bad b “The weather is over me alittle this morn- ing,” remarked recently a Frenehman who is zealonsly studying the idioms of the Englisn language.

In yesterday's Tribune appeare tonishing article from Bradstreet's, in which Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, explains and illustrates to the young men of the country how they may support life .4 $172 a year each, and how, for $200 a year, they may enjoy not merely an economical existence, but a *‘comfortable subsistence.” Mr. Edward Atkinson is, beyond doubt, a thoughtful man, and he iy be a close student, but bLe lives as- surcdly in_another agé—tho age of our forefathers—the age of butternut or buck- skin suits, and corncob pipes, and of shooting squirrels for dinner. He fails to recognize the social conditions of the present; he does not perceive existing absolute necessities. Let us consider this_doctrinaire’s esti- mate of the needs of life with the young malo of the period. Mr. Atkinson pro- vides for a in which to sleep, for o moderate amount of clothing, but very little or any washing, and for bes and h sufficient to repair the daily te e. But Mr. Atkinson does not rasp the situation. What voung man, for instance, could exist to-duy without his regular supply of soothing’ nicotine in onc form or another? Thirty cents a day would be a moderate estimate of what " this nervine costs the average young man, And there is, well—the nips to “brace him up," costing at least a quarter a day. And base-ball—there is 50 gents for adnission to the gam nd then there are the losses in smull wagers —for the young man is usually not in the ring and know8 not how the game is go- ing; and there are the extra drinks and the “‘treating’’ incident to the afternoon —sny $1.50 a day for forty days in the season; $00 in all. The faseinating game of billiards and similar enjoyments to dissipate the cares which infest the night could scarcely come below $1 a Ay on the avers There are the se- oret societios oble Order of the Knights of the Star Spangled Bann, and kindred organizations—membership in which cannot involve less than a monthly outlay of $3 to $5.
