This is the time of tho year when there ought to be a good deal of activity m this deps ment of business, and there must be some cause for the temporary cheek. Dealers claim that the chief reason is that build- ers are afraid of labor troubles and the increased cost of building. A reduction of the working day from ten to eight 'bours. would increase the cost of putting up buildings 20 per cent. It is thought | that if tho demands of the Taborors do not prove to be so great as to have been for shadowed, or if there are no serious strikes in this city by the 1st of May, ore will be a revival of the plans for building. But many of the contractors ill wait until after that date before mak- 1z any hard and fast contracts as to cost. WHETHER home rule wins or fails in the present parliament, the mere fact that it has been proposed by an knglish- man in a British parliament brings in sight the restoration of the right of self- government to the Irish people. This is ¥irtually admitted by the London Specta #or, one of the ablest of the liberal jour- mals, which takos its stand against Mr. Giladstone. It says: _ It cannot but be up-hill work for liberals to | @ght against Mr. Gladstone, even when they ‘Bave 50 tuch to say for themsclves from a ‘point of view which is strictly liberal, as they 9in resisting Irish home rwey butii ft uld once go forth to the country that the oism on Mr, Gladstone's proposals comes fly from the tory side, we know what the Fesult must be.

One of the great national problems of the day is what we shall do with the In- dians. This question is ably discussed at considerable length in an article by Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts, which is published in this issue of the BEe. No man in this country is better qualified to handle this subject, as he has devoted al years' ot study to the question with the hope of working out a practical solu- tion. At a recent Boston banquet Se Hoar sard that “‘Senator Dawes has him: self been to the [ndians all that Charles Sumner was to the negro, and mor Since his service in his present position, the great change in our Indian policy, due so largely to him, has taken place. The Indians have had in him a most powerful and constant, though unvre tending, protector, whose strong influ- ence is over felt in logislation, and, in case of any wrong attempted or commit- ted, he appears at the oxccutive depart- ment to demand protection or redress onator Dawes insists th the lization of the Indian is imperative demanded, and that this can be accomplished through the In- dian school system, which, so far as it has been established, has proved an emi- nent success. Indian schools are the main feature of the work of civilization, The ftirst approprintion for thase schools, in 1876, only $20,000. Ithas been in- creased from year to year, until in 1885 the appropriation was $1,107,000. There are now 261 boarding and day schools, with a total average attendance of 9,314, ‘The result of the systemup to the present time has been most enco ing. Another feature in the work of civiliza. tion, ted by Senator Dawes, is to giye to each Indian who has become far enough advanced to know the value nd, at least 160 acres, with the single ation that he cannot sell or dispose of it for twenty-five y The senator believes that the time is not far distant when the Indians can be made seif-sup- porting, intelligent and useful citizens. 1voc limi Th Ttis a ver, which the eitizen to Gener Return of Crook. warm and cordial welcome of Omaha will extend rook, who returns to us after a more than four years absen No department commander has ever been more popular in the city of his dquarters than the modest and cour- teous gentleman and brave soldier who will succeed General Howard as he pre- ceded him in tae command of the depart- ment of the Platte.

Always interested in the devel- opment of our state and alive to its in- terests, General Crook returns to find it doubled in population and wealth and doubly needing the watchful care of the army on its northern frontier where thousands of settlers have crowded in along the Dborders of the Sioux reserve. Under Crook’s direction and guidance we n hope to sce a rapid strengthening build- ing of our two Nebras| frontier posts and a concentration of dispersed troops where they are most needed. DBut the citizens of Omaha even more than the state at large will bs pleased to have the general once more in theic midst. They claim him as their own by reason of long residence, widespread acquaintance, and universal popularity. The Servant Girl Question, There is a general tendency to com- plain of the tyranny and inefliciency of the ordinary servant girl. Nearly overy writer on the subject moans over the gradual disappearance of American girls from service in families, and base it upon a prejudice that they lower their posi- tion and forfeit their independence in doing what they call “‘menial work.” There are two sides of the question of domestic service. One is the side of the housekeeper harassed by her inability to find and keep & cook or waitress to her taste; the other is the of the seryant who feels that her se) 8 are in active demand and that her skill and training enables her to insist upon what she calls her rights. As a rule more American girls seek the shop, the factory and the counter rather than the house- hold for two reasons. First, because care- ful traning is necessary to make a good domestic, and because of love for per sonal liberty and dislike for the restr tions which hedge about household help. “The factory or shop girl has some time to herself and is permitted to spend it as she pleases. The servant girl rarely or never has an entire day out of every ! soven, her ovenings are likely to be tresspassed upon, and many mistresses begrudge her absence from the house during more than a single evening o weck. Some impertinently interfere h the love affuirs of their servants and place restrictions upon their reception of “company.” Butwhat must be the most galling feature of the restrainer’s lot is the constant reminder from the time that she appears upon the scene of her labors in the morning until she disappears from it ut night, that she is uvon a different plane from those around het'~thnt she is in fact o nt. If in consideration of these things she insists upon oxtorting the best terms she can before she enters an employer's house, she is entitled to some credit for her appreciation of the situation rather than abuse. It is generally admitted as a fact that one can retain his self-respect while working for most men better than while working for most women. The man is accustomed to having employes under him; he kuows—most important of all- when to leave them alone, and generally he has veen under authority himself in 1us younger , and appreciates their sentiments. The mistress of a household has never herself been a seryant, and, however hard she may try to be consid- erate, her rolations with her cook and housemaid can never be the same as those between her hus and his e yes. The natural re; ke domestic service undesirable and to enable those who unwillingly enter it to hold out for their own terms. Of course there is a groat deal of inconveaience and domestic disquietude over incompetent and ief ficient help. But for much of it mis | tresses must hold themseives to blame.

There are seventeon in who are accused of partic plunder, but some have turned s! idence and others have fled to Canada. Whatever may be the weight of testimony against them, there was enough evidence to satisfy a New York grand ju public opinion the accused we demned long ago.

Mapleson the Humbug. Omaha is to be spared the infliction of an alleged operatie performance by that prince of humbugging impressarios, Colonel Mapleson. Aside from hear- ing Minnie Hauk, Omaha can congratu- late herself that the doughty colonel's creditors in the west have relieved her from the cloud of profanity which would surely have floated over the city after the Propo: crformanee of Satgy The ! troupe virtually went to pieces in San wneisco, many of the sing- left in disgust for the and those who remamed did i Ity for the reason that their ies were in arvears and the railroad companies declined to transport passen- gers on eredit. Col. J. H. Mapleson is roundly cursing his bad luck. e thinks the American people unappreeiative, and attributes his financial disaster to the snorance of the pablie, Asa matter of aet, Mapleson has killed himself and Italian opera i this country by his fail- ure to keep fath with the public and his outrageous treatment of his troupes. New York threw him out bod- ily last fall He had humbugged them for several <ons, broken his contracts with the Academy of Musie directors, cheated the publie with troupes composed of a few good stars and mis- ble support, with a background of wretehed scenery and worn-out operas. s record has been one of daily qua with ereditors, fights with deputy sher- iffs, disputes with managers and hotel proprictors, wrangles with employes and cursings from an outraged public. Omaha need feel no regret at missing another opportunity for denouncing him as a fraud of the fir: Tue real estate men and beavy prop- erty owners have for months been telling us that they are ready to donate valuable tracts of land to ties who want to es- olish factories and mills, and are very anxious to encourage large jobbing houses desirous of locating .
