Mr. Blaine’s weather optic is trained in steady sight on the next national conven- fon which will nominate a successor to ovér Cleveland. The prospects are not brilliant for the candidute from the home of Neal Dow, ! ys that Mrs. Grover nd will receive about $20,000 unaer the provisions of Col. J. B. Fol- som’s will, instead of $50,000, unless the real estate in Omaha increases in value. ‘We can assure Mrs. Cleveland that the real estate in Omaha will increase suffi- ciently within two or three years to muke her legacy nearer $50,000 than $20,000, RickrLESs driving on our paved streets must stop. The drunken expleits of a citizen last night in disabling seyveral men, women and children, and wrecking half a dozen vehicles may be repeated any day by sober men who persist in driving down our thorougfares as if they were sections of the Omaha race track. Btreets of crowded oitics are no place to show off the speed of fast steppers. Way cannot Omaha secure and main- tain at least as large flouring mills as those of any interior town in Nebraska? The wheat is here, the railroads are at hand, and all that seems to be needed is f move to securo men of exverience and brains to conduct the business. Mills employ men and factories furnish steady work to laborers and mechanics. We want both, A RETURN has been made by the e of Col. Folsom of its interest in Nebraska real estate. The inventory fixes the value at about $150,000. We venture the asser- tion that the property of Mrs Cleveland's grandfather, which is located in Omaha alone, could be sold to-day for nearly a quarter of a million dollars, The presi- dent will do well to iner his execu- tive interest in matters pertaining to this purticular section of the west. Tne council did a good thing in or- dering the marshal to compel the hack drivers and cabmen to post conspicu- ously in their vehicles rates of fare for the information of passengers. The hack- wen, especinlly since the cabs and coupes have come to stay, are high-handed pi- rates who swindle strangers and citizens alike with unblushing effrontry, and chullenge punishment for their offenses. The hack robberies should be suppressed. THERE have been a great many anxi- ous und uneasy people in the depart- ments at Washington during the past few days, in consequence of the under- standing that numerons removals would be made at the close of the fiscal year, which is the 80th of June. By this time the weeding out has probably been ef- fected aud the unfortunates know sheir ‘fate, while those who deem themselves more fortunate in being re- tatned will hang for a time on the rag- ged edge. Wo say for a time, because it a5 almost morally certain that no man who received appointment under repub- lican administrations will be allowed to gemain in position longer than conveni- ence or expediency requires. “Turn the rascals out” is nota discarded shibboleth, nor is the hungry democratic crowd yot appeased. “Tag chief feature of Mr, Randall’s tavif bill,” according to the Herald, “is putting lumber on the free list ~the great est boon that could be bestowed on Ne- braska farmers.” The chief feawure of Mr. Randall’s tariff bill is putting tobacco and brandies on the free list to the tune of §26,000,000, - The chief feature of Mr. Randall's bill is that it gives tariff redue- tion a wide berth and cuts a sweeping swath on taxes which no one wants ro- duced. The enure amount of additions £o the freoe list is only a milhion of dollavs. ‘With an annual surplus raised by taxa- gtion of §85,000,000, the chief feature of Mr. Randail's tavift bilt is plainly its in- tentional failure to promote tarifl reform and to bolster up the protected monopo- Jies by preventing such areduction in the tarifl taxes as is demanded by the suffer- g interests of the west. The Pan-Electric Business. Ttis an evidence of the complicated character of the Pan-Electric Telephone cotroversy, that there will be presented to congress three reports from the in ating committee According to adyices from Washington, it is inferred that four democratio members of the committee will unite in a report intended Lo whitewash certain per notably Attorney General Garland, whose reputa: tions have been affected by their connecs while go it some vest ons, tion with this telephone company the other democratic member will alone in a report d with of the views of his party colleagues on the committee, but concurring re specting the attitude of Mr. Garland in his relations with the company. The re port of the repudlicau members of the committee will show the character of the Pan-Electric company and its method of distributing stock where it would do the most good. It will affirm that the opin- ion of Mr. Garland when he was a United States senator, that the Rogers patents not infringe the Bell patent, was sceured in order to make the stock of the Pan-Electric com- pany saleable, that the efiect of that opinion was to lead many people to buy the stock, and that Mr. Garvland shated in the proceeds of the saie of such stock. This report will give & comprehensive presentation of circumstances and de tails connected with the scheming of this speculative combination a part of which will be new, and which as indicated will not help the case of those engaged in or defending the Pan-Electrie jobbe: The report concludoes, after a survey of the evidence, with the opinion that thesolic:- tor general, acting in the absence of the attorney general, was by some means in- cited to grant the application under which the suit of the Pan-Elcctric com pany against the Bell company was brought, and what more probable incit- ing cause can be suggested than that he was apprised of the fact that Mr. G nd held stock in t Pan-Electric company of the nowmi nal due of about one million nd would most likely not only approve of but be well pleased with such action on the part of his subordinate Itis perhaps true that Attorney Gen- and knew nothing, in his oflicial of the purpose of the Pan Electric company to use the department of justice to enable it to bring a suit, in the name and with the subport of the government, against the Bell company. Let him have the benefit of the doubt on that point. But tke fact remains that his being the possessor of a large block of Pan-Eleetric stock gave the company a standing and hearing in the department of which he is the head that it would not otherwise have enjoyed, and that the ci cumstance of his owning this stock was an incentive to his subordinate to violate the practice of the department, and with most unseemly speed assent to the de- mand of the company. Further- more, if it be allowed that there was nothing irvegnlar or illegiti- mateon the part of Mr.Garland in accept- mg this stock under the eircurastances in which it was given to him, is still an entirely just judgment that knowing, as he must have known, the character and aims of this company, he ought to have put the stock out of his hands when he ac- cepted the position of attorney general, t is altogether a very scandalous mess, and it would have been well for the ad- munistration and the country 1f President Cleveland had promptly removed the over zealous solicitor general and Mr.Garland could have found some reason satisfactory to himself for returning to private life. The Unfortunate Graduate, With tho close of June comes the closing of the scholastic year in most of our colleges and semina As a con- sequence the scason 18 generally selected by the press as a proj time to adminis- ter the discipline of ridicule to the young graduate, to inform him that his edu tion will prove of littie practical value in the struggle of life, and that, all things considered, he will find himself more se riously handicapped by the result of his four years’ work than if he had devoted the period to what is termed “pi ol education” 1n the school of hfe. His greeing do ‘graduating theses are picked to picc his expressed iropes for rapid sdvance- ment made objects of ridicule and he i3 told, by implication at least, that he is rather more of an ass than the av young man, and that the quicker he dis- covers the fact and changes the tone of his mental system the botter for nimself and the commurity. Much of this kind of talk, of which thero is a good deal floating around 1n the press, is mers newspaper badinage which is not believed by the editors or seriously considered by the public. 1t is the remmnantof a traditionary con- tempt for learning, a survival of old days when tho three R’'s were con- sidered all that were necessary in the way of an education to fit men for life. No such oonviction exists now or can exist with well informed men, In the words of a leadi ““Ilhe very newspapers that write in this wuy every year have college men in the chief positions on their stafl, simply be- cause, other things being equal, the man who has been educated in a college brings to bear upon the work of journal- ism a better trained mind than his fel- more quickly masters the work and fairly earns the best places in a profe. sion in which, more than any othe: actual ability wins its way with ce tamnty.” The young ecollege graduate starts upon the notual work of life with very material advantages over those of his competitors who have not received liberal education. He has gone through acourse of intellectuul gymuasties which has strengthened his mental muscles and trained them to activity, He has laid a foundation of acquire- ment and culture upon which to build a superstructure, and though he may for a time be awkward in hand- ling unaccustomed tools and Las much to learn he rapidly discovers that solid ac- quirements and mental discipline never unfit a wan of courage and perseveranc for aspiring to the best rewards which the worla offers. Xducated men ave at par to-duy, and newspaper wits ure as fully aware of the fact as one of the largest mereantile houses in New York which re- cruits its forces year by year from the ranks of collegians. “It is true that they are green at fivss,’’ recently said the sen- ior partner, “but they learn faster than any others and get more quickly to the #0p. Business needs braius and educated brains are a8 mush better thun those which have been undisciplived as thor- | takes him some time to d | country, and was onghbred horses are to scrabs on the race courss at Rockaway Beach.' For all this, it is true that the college graduate has much to learn, and it often cover that though well prepared to begin the work of learning any busines, he is not prepared to enter upon any asa fully equipped master workman He Is Tired. A dispateh from Cineinnati states that Mr. John R. McLean is endeavoring to scll the Enguirer property, and that a syndicate of wealthy men had been look ing 1t over, but owing to the high price asked had concluderd not to buy at pres- ent. The Znguirer has been one of the most enterprising newspapers of the ieved to have a large When its present proprietor prosperity. | took control of the paper it was inferior in popularity and i the general extent of its business to the but it speedily wenv to the tront as a news- paper and grew in business and popular ity. Thatitis now found to have lost in popularity, and inferentially in busi- ness, to such an extent that Mr. MeLean SCCKS to part with it, n have a moral. The country has been 1 more fa- miliar during the past fow years with Mr. McLean as a politician than as a journalist Although identified in the public mind as the directing force behind the Enguirer, he could not have had the notoriety he achieved with- out having put himself forward as n po- litical manager, and this he did with all the vigor and earnestness that are cl istic of him. He had an aspiration tin the United tively prai ot to work W encrgy ify it. Had he sought the object of his ambition by entir open and fair means he could have met inevitable defeat without a compunetion of conseience or any loss of public esteem. But he chose rather in- sidious, dark and tortuous ways, and the employment of unserupulous men and wethods, No politician ever marshaled in his cause a wor: For all that he or his henchimen did or attempted to do he made his paper an aid and apolo gist, not incidentally or casually, but with daily regularit When at last his plans were defeated, and the light of day oked and unri eous work, the blow fell not alone upon him personally, but upon his instraments, The contidence that was withdrawn from him was taken also from lus 7 ~is no longer a trusted authority asto anything in politics so far as its editorial opinions are concerned. Hay- ing buried the journalist in the politici and abased the functions of the latter, in the fall that followed cxposure MeLean carried down with him the whole stracture with which his name was identificd. He can have no further hope of personal preferment in Ohio for any position; his influcnce is one; he is pow- erless to help a friend or injure a foe; the men who served him—such of them re out of jall—no longer respect hi 1thor Little wonder is it, then, that Mr. McLean is tired and wants to got g y from the scenes that must ey painfully remind him of his faults, his follies, and his failures as a politicix Commercial, he The City Hall, Board of Public Works—Reporting that no bids had been received for the construe- tion of the foundation for the city hail. Filed. -~City Council Proceedings. A good many people will naturally wonder whny nobody has seen fit to bid work. But we are not at all sur- prised atit, Ever since the project to erect a city ail on upper Farnam street was set on foot it has met with persistent opposition from certain official and officious quarters. All sorts of frivolous objections were raised last year against the location, the architeet’s plans, and the proposition to ave the board of education join with the city in the enterprise. But the people b; an overwhelming majority fixed the loca- tion on the corner of KEighteenth and Farnam, and approved the plans which the mayor and council had adopted. They also authorized the coun- cil and board of education to expend any money which could be raised in con- formity to law. Acting upon this author- ity, the hoard of education entered into a contract with the city by which $25,000 was to be pauid by the board towards the crection of the city hall. This amount, less the $0600 paid out for grading the lots, was placed at the disposal of the city, with a view of pediting the wo Way back in February the council di- rected the board of public works to adyer- tise for bids under the plans of E.E. Myers. No action whatever was taken under this order by the board of public works, Af- ter the new council had organized in Avpril, Chairman House was waited upon by members of the Fourth ward to ex- plain why he had disregarded the order of the preyious council. They were in- formed by Mr, House that there were some defects in the plans which had to be corrected by the architect. Some fig- ures in the details which he regarded as essential were nissing. Mr. House promised to send the plans back to the architect and have them corrected. About & month later the plans were re- turned by the architeet, but Mr. House took no steps to advertise as required, and made no report to the council, In the middle of May the conncil adopted another resolution, instructing the board of public w for proposals for the construction of the basement alone. This order Mr. House ignored for about two weeks, and finally after being ealled upon by several mem- bers of the council he did nsert an ad- vertisemient which to say the least was very vague and indefinite, The design of the architect is for a stone building, but the chc of stone is left with the council and bourd of publie works. Mr. Hou kuows enough to know that the proper course for the board 18 to examine various kinds of building stone and de- cide which would be most desirable. So far he has taken no steps in this direction, and contractors were not iy formed in the advertisements or in the specifieations what they were to bid upon Neither did My, House take the trouble to dofine what part of the basement was to be included in the bid besides the outer wal This is essential in order to en- able the contractors to bid inteliigently, Even these defects, however, would not have barred out responsible bidders if Mr. House had uot thrown cold water on the whole outerprise by constantly in- i ing that they would only waste r time, hey were that there told in so many words would be no the fact | | away the contractors, Mr THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, JULY 1, to build the basement because the board of education would reconsider its action and withdraw: the money, which it had already voted toward bwlding the hall.

The business of the board of public works 18 not to obstruct but to expedite publie im provements, It is manifest that the city can gain twelve months time by building the basement this year. By delaying an- other year half a dozen or more re now projected on upper Farnam will be held back by capitalists who ing for the city to begin its work. It remains to be scen whether the council will submit to uncailed-for and inexcus able obstruction of public works by any officer — Tue city levy proposed for this yes 40 mills. To outsiders this may seem an cnormous tax rate. It will eertainly im- press strangers who are ignorant of our lax and shiftless methods of taxation AN outrageous imposition upon the tax payers. When the county and state taxes ¢ added, the total tax levy will foot up nearly if not quite seven per cent on tho assessed valuation. his amount is more than the legal rate of inte several of our states, But the hig levy means to hundreds of wealthy tax shirkers an actual tax of scarcely one-half or one per cent on the market value of the prope No one in Omaha pretends to deny that the ag- gregate assessment of Douglas county is barely a tenth of the actual value of the property listed for taxation. Inreal estate alone Omaha has more than a hundred millions inv d. Fivesixthsof the per- sonal property within these corporate limits has entirely eseaped the operations of the tax law. The high levy necessi- tated by the wholesale evasion of taxation by wealthy capitalists, heavy property owners and land syndi is misleading and not represent the facts, If property was properly assessed the same amount of revenue could raised by means of a levy which would appear as ridiculously small as the present seems enormously high, Double the money now available for municipal, county and states purposes could easily be obtained, without our taxpayers fecling the burden, if the tax shirkers and perjurers were brought to time by a rigid and honest as- sessment. The revenue law must be changed at the next session of the legis- lature.
