Transfers are numerous and purchases for improvement larger in number. The settlement in the subarbs is one of the most interesting features of the situation, scarccly less so than the ‘improved class of stores and dences golng up on hitherto vucant lots in the oity itself. A sTORY current some little time ago, ‘that the president was believed to b oollusion with certain Washington estute dealers, is revived in conn with the police scandal in that city, Mr, ‘Cleveland is at something of a disadvan- tage with eighty nine newspaper corre- spondente at the national eapital i op ‘position to him, GOVERNOR GokDON, of Georg elared 1 his inaugural thar “legahzed slavery has been abolished in this coun- ary."’ General Gordon has been for yoars one of the most grasping and tyrannical sofrailroad monopolists.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: The Whole Story Told. The testimony given in Friday in the trial in progiess in New York of ex-Alder- | man McQuade, one of the thirteen ! “boodle™ aldermen charged with selling their votes to the Broadway Surface rail- road company, lud bare the whole story of that corrupt arrangement. After the cvidence given by ex-Alderman Fulgraf, corroborated by another of the boodle gang whose conscienee would not permit fiim to hold the corroding secret, there cannot remain a doubt in the mind of any one respecting the guilt of this precious | crowd of bribetakers, Fulgraf stated that in all his testimony before the senate committee, in which he asserted that he had no knowledge of the alleged transac- tions, he swore 1y, thus adding per jury to his other erime, as did several of his confreres. He explamed in detl the course of the raseally compact by which thirteen men sold themselves to the cor- rupting corporation. It is a story of de liberate and conscientious perfidy such a8 has been rarely paralleled. Th hemo was not consummated in aday. There were a score or more meetings of the gang held between May, 1881, and the hich the compnet was carried out, December 5 of that y At the first meeting the “boodlers” numbered cight or mnine, and the p ular matter considered was that of securing the other four or five necessary to po: the bill. These were secured at a meet ing held a week later, and it was agreed that the thirteen wounld hold together in any question that came before the board It was the al number united in a de- liberate plan to steal. Thy were two companies bidding for the support of the rogues—the cable and the surface road. But the bribe of the former wasto con- sist of half stock and haif cash, while the latter offe 1 cash and was of course preferred. This determined, the question of who should receive and dis- burse the money was the next matter to be deeided. The raseally plotters natur- ally distrusted each other. Finally Kee- nan was selected. The bill giving the franchise to the surface road was passed and the mayor vetoed it. It was now to secure more votes, original boodlers found it necessary to reduce the amount each was to receiv £22,000 to $20,000, the amount relinguished to be used to buy the additional votes required Clerk Maloney, who is now sojourning in (' . was designated to v it the needed reinforcement, which he did, and the bill was passed over the veto. Fulgraf received for his share in the transaction 18,000, and Dufly stated that he had ed but §10,000. Neither of them has restored any part of this money, but the former declared his pur- »to (o 5o “‘when he could.”™ ich succinetly is the story of this con- as told by one of the original con- . 1t could not be made more sug- by enlargement or embellishment It is suflicient to show that where men are purchasable there are corporations will ing to buy themw, and the not pecu rto New Y We do not know of an exact count rt of this rascally scheme, but could the seerets of legisla- tion in most of the states and the larger citics in the country be uncovered they would disclose an alarming array ot sim- ilar transactions.

An Important Decision. The supreme court of Nebraska handed down on Thursday its decision in the Selden vs Berka case, brought on writ of quo warranto to determine the constitu- tionality of the lnw passed by the last leg- islature himiting the number of justices of the peace in cities of the first class. ‘The point raised by the counsel for ex- Justice Selden was that such limitation was in violation of the provisions of the constitution, which requires that *‘all laws relating to courts shall be of gencral and uniform operation.” The claim was advanced and argued that by reduging the number of justices in specially specified districts in cities of the first clg permitting the county commiss to designate the districts, the > broke the uniformity of operation of justi courts throughout the state and violated the constitutional proviso. In dismissing the apolieation and af- firming the validity of the threc justices law, the supreme court laid down a prin- ciple of general application which is of much interest at the present time when the question of the creation of a muni- cipal court is under discussion. “A law,” said Judge Reese, in giving the opinion, “‘which is general and uni- form throughout the state, operating alike upon all persons and locahties of a class, or who are brought within the re- lations and circamstances provided for, is not objectionable as wanting uniform ity of operation.” This effectually disp abjection made to the nicipal eount, viz: that it would be in violation of the constitutional provision called in question in the justice's case. A law creating & municipal eourt in cities of a given elass would be of “*‘uniform op- cration” under the ruling given, It would apply uaiformly to & eertain class of cities to which its operations would be confined, There would be no prejudice through its mantenance to other judicial bodies outside its jurisdiction or with con comitant jurisdiction, ‘There may be other objections to the ercation of munic- ipal courts, but the eonstitutional ob, tion is clearly not a valid one. ses of the chief eation of a mu- Goulden Treacte. Auinterview with that prinee of policy shurps, Jay Gould, in which he ventures the remarkable opinion that Omaha is “‘a thriving city,” much improved by its pavements, throws the sycophantic editor of the Herald into spasms of joy. It calls out promptly another half column of slush upon the “Colossus of Roads,”’ uwd what ke ought 1o be induced to do for Omaba. . Jay Gould is excitedly pro- nounced by Dr. Miller the yery man to build the Omaha & Northern, his g cious refererce to this eity making that fact clear beyond a question. We fail to see any astonishing werit in Gould’s reference to Omuha as a “thyiv- ing city,” made in an interview in which he slops over St. Lonis, Kaneas City, Min- neapolis, St. Paul, Wichita, Kansas, and ¢ dozen other points in which he is inte ested directly or mdirectly. T kind of newspaper treacle is used by the bucket ful by the great stock jobber wheneve he has a voint to g communities which he has robbed. It invariably dished ont in large ladles just before bond propositions are to be sub mitted or new feeders built to tap and draw away the trade of cities reached by s lines, Western people long ago failed to take ny notice of the smooth fattery of the wily Gould or to place any dependence upon his warm professions ot friendship or interest. Fifteen years of bitier ex- perience with the t Wall street shark have not been without their effect in these parts. Even Wall street has learned the lesson aud left to speculators alone the handling of his water bur- dened bonds and stocks. The suspicion that Gonld is dabbling in any security is suflicient to drive away in panic all le @timate investors. As a consequence, in spite of his subsidized press and prom d dividends, every Gould stock is a drug on the marke ‘The great railroad shown his hand too often and his methods are too well known to deceive any longer the investing public. But for the editor of the Herald, who has for years prostituted lus position to play stool pigeon for the Goulds and Dillons, this latest picce of gentle flattery has all the charm of novelty. The growth of Omaba under his own eyes, the census reports, the clearing hous statements, the hum of busy industry and the sound of trowels and hammers on every street are noting as evidences of Omaba's prosperity when compared with the statement of his Goulden idol that “Omaha is a thriving city.”” This throws the old fraud into hysteries of cestacy, beeause it furnishes a text for the snggestion of new subsidies to the vo- racious railroad wrecker to whose coat tails Dr. Miller has hung for fifteen years with all the desperate energy of a bunco steerer to his boss policy sharp. Austria’s Attitude. The recent speceh of Count Kalnoky, minister of foreign affairs of Austro- Hungary, defining the interests and poliey of the empire in connection with the Bulgarian question, appears not to have given that universal satisfaction in Europe which its moderate yet decided expressions might have been expected to command. Itis reported to have been sely eriticized by a portion of the an and Austrian press, while the announced had been characte \ high quarters as wea IKalnoky id that Austria’s interests 1n will be the mamtenance of rights, and that it the essentials of the i treaty ave not infringed it is immaterial how internal affairs in Bulgaria proceed. Rathey in the nature of a warning than a , he stated that it would be most difficult for Austria to avoid taking ac- tion during the present “excitement, but 11 patiently aws All is certainly cautious, so much so, perhaps, as to warrant Count And ¢ in characterizing it o k, hutitis mo judicious for a nation desiring to avoid conflict, as Austrian undoubtedly does, than would have been o defiant wenace to Russia. It must appear to pru- dent and cor ative men as conveying a quite suflicient assurance that Austria recognizes her responsibility and will not attempt to avoid it, whatever de- mands it may make or sacrifices it may entail, Another point that invited un favorable eriticism was the rather limited significance given by Kalnoky to the mission of General Kaulbars in Bulgari He said its importance had been over- estimated, and that the course pursued had attained nothing ealenlated to decide the political existence of Bulgariu; that while Kuulbars had succeeded in maki Russian influence fe!t in « most disagre uble manuer, he alsy evoked the sym- pathy of Europe for the Bulgarian peo- ple. This certainly seems to underrate the nature of the Russian general’s mis- sion, judging it fairly by the course he b it may be entirely correct as to results thus far. [t must be considered, however, that the full cons quences of the mission of this emssary of Russian diplomacy and intrigue may not yet be apparent. It is not question- able that Russia’s aim in sending Kaul- bars to Bulgaria was to establish in that country an absolute Russian domination, and it is said that the foreign oflices of Vienna and London have indubitable proof that he was sent to Sofia to upset the government before the great powers could interfere. His conduct gives cred- ence to the statement, but the scheme was defeated by the firmness of the re- gency supported by Austria and Eng: land. It would have been more reas- suring to Europe if Kalnoky could hav given a promise of the retirement of Russia from Bul- garia, bly to the pled, reported to have been given by Russia, but he seems not to have been authorized to go beyond the statement that ‘‘Russia is friendly enough and amicably open to discussion,” and that he could “reckon upon the c; influence being decidedly in favor of a peaceful solution.” Perhaps this ought to be accepted as suflicient, but Europe will have little faith in such as- surances while Russia remains partial occupation of Bulgaria, and her agents and emissaries there continne to actively urge her claims to absolute dictatorship Russian pledges ure worthless when not accompanied by acts. Russia having named her candidate for the Bul, an throne, Prince Nicholas, of Mingrelia, and the selection having been approved by the powers, it will require but ashort ime to determine whether she is disposed to forego her pretensions in the principality and respect treaty re- quirements, She has gained an impor tant point and concession in naming a new ruler for Bulgaria and finding no opposition among the powers. Sho is now invited to propose a satisfactory so lution to the conflict. Europe will await her response with eager interest. About Ourselyes.

The protest of hundreds of indignant patrons of the street car company inst the needless delays during and ter the late storm, as voiced in our ed- itorial columus, is made the occasion for a prompt rebuke by Dr. Miller, Criti- cism of any corporation, however just, affects the railrogue editor like flaunt- ing a red rag in the face of a bull. He paws the air ana bellows loudiy about the “assaults on corporations™ and the excelleney of the b i and makes some indireet reference to the cable ear system as bemng in some W ponsible for the statement of the plain facts regarding the blockaded streets and the street railway servie This is quite unnccessary. The gross negligence of the street railway cor pany in not making energet attempts to keep their lines open during the storm and for forty-eight hours thereafter eannot be glossed over. It was due to a ek of facilities in the line of serapers and plows and a spitit of cconomy exercised at the expense of their patrons. Of course after waiting twenty-four hours for sleighs and whee! to pack down the snow, picks and shoyels were needed to remoye the obstruction. But for that the company had no one to blame but itself. 0 The BEE has given the Omaha Horse railway company all-eredit for the excel lence of its fair weatfier service.

The proper method of fostering musical taste is to secure the best music. The ear cannot be educated through the eye. Concerts nd opers by trained musicians and gers upon whom the eultured world has placed the seal of approval are the means for elevating the musical taste. Proper musical instruction by competent teacters, the use of the highor cluss of music in the home circle and at soci gatherings, form the foundation upon which to build up a taste which - wiil not only contribute to the gratification of the possessor but add to the sum total of human pleasure and art education. NOVEMBER 21, Industrial Necessities, The brief article by Carroil D). Wright upon “Industiial Necessities” of the present time, which recently appeared in the Forum, has attracted wide spread and deserved attention, as it was certain to do, coming from a writer of Mr. Wright's abilities and from the chief of the national burean of labor statistics at Washington. Mr. Wright precedes his argument by the statement which is ax iomatie that the character of our indus trial § <s for the next quarter of a century will depend very largely upon the spirit in which differences between the laborer and the eapits e ad juste With labor tronbles proceed ing from two general causes, ignorance on the part of the wage worker of the trae conditions necessary to snecessful production and intelligence of what is necessary to constitute happy surroundings in the present civilization, the first great industrial necessit ys Mr. Wright, is a knowledge of industrial conditions r is not unreasoning. Much of its unrest and suspiciousness has its origin in the refusal of capital to show clearly vroper information of the cost and vrofits of production. 1f wage work- ers knew and believed that production was being carried on at small margins of profit or at no profit at all, as1s often the there would be no strikes at such times in the depressed industri A fair proportion of share in gross profits is th demand of the w workers. Whether they receive it or mot can only be known by earcfully eompiled and honest statistics of the various industries “gained by frequent and uni- form censuse: Any effort of govern- ment, either federal or state, through bureaus of labor statistics, censuses or technical edueation, will result in a value a thousandfold greater than the cost of the effort.” In his t official report Mr. Wright called attention to the crisis in produc- tion which exiis throughout the conti- nent and the United States due to “over- stimulation.” Our industrial depression has been caused by an overproduction which was excessive because we have closed all outlets for our surplus — Safter- ing from a limited consuming power and rabundance of productive power, Wright finds the second industrial necessity to be “the rapid development of the south and west in evy dircetion” in order to increase consumption Increased production will of course attend the process of development but the increased consuming power and the stimulus which industry will give to bet- ter agricultural methods will, in the er’s opinion, more than counterbal- ance the added output by aflording a still ater facility for consumption. Mr. Wright comes out boldly and frankly for “an adjustment of the tarift" the third pressing industrial neeessity of the times, He elaims and claims truly, that with the growth of industry the tarifl’ assumes different economic rela- tions to the progress of the whole coun- try. Industrial conditions have grown beyond the tarifl' of twenty years ago and the tariff wx should be adjusted with a view to the benefit of the :nany and not the few, M Wright scouts the old and well-worn fallacy “that the if ference in wages must be overcome by the differd te of duty.” As a veteran student of economic questions, he knows too well the trifhing influence which tariff imposts have upon the pay of wage worker: Tins being the case,” he remarks, a wise adju: ment of the tarifl only when all the el ments of the cost of production are con- sidered; and one of the industrial neeessi- ties of our time is to sce to it thav the t; iffis adjusted. not on the old lines, but on the new, and that the greatest good shall be derived from such adjustment, The tendency of the times is toward concentration of energy, concentration of capital, consolidation of interests. The indiyidual ~— mull no longer bums in independence of its fel- lows and pla its zoods upon the market at prices made without relation to other industrial productions of the same kind. Production is the re sult of large combinations, and all other things that bear upon production must be subjeet to the same law. sital consoli dated must deal with consolidated and organized labor with organized ¢ tal. ‘I'reaties between individuals count for nothing. Representatives must deal with representati This te of af- fairs, which is a hopetul one, causes the writer to assert that “a_broader compre- hension of the vital prineipals of Ameri can government, of the intelligent repre- tion of great bocies, of the power of ling with other through repr ta- , lending to the highest form of con- ciliation and arbitration, will show or- &uanization, complete, just and intel- ligent to be one of the chief industrial necessities of the near future.” Organi- zation will relieve many of the aggra- vated features of the nt situation. It would enable manufacturers to make production conform more nearly to con- sumption, It would put it i the hands of labor to establish rates of wages on a wore uniform basis, Proverly carried out such organization would amount to practical co-operation of labor and cap ital for their mutual welfare, while the public at large would reap the benefit of enhanced qualivy in the goods resulting from increased intevest in the workmen, The interests of Jabor and capital, re marks Mr. Wright, are not identical, It is absurd tu say that they are. “They are, however, reciprocal; and the intelli- gent comprehension of this reciproci can ouly be brought by the most comple ion, so that each party shall feel that he is anin tegral part of the whole working estab- Jdshment,” As the final need of all there must be something beyond the wage system. Fair and steady wages to labor must be secured by an extension of profits to labor. “With wise experiments, judi ciously organized details, and a spirit of mutnal concession and helpfulness, there may be a ticipation of profits without injustice to either of the Lies ne to produetion.” Labor must be the associate of capital, mutually int ested 10 its prosperous investment, mu. tually reluctant to further any methods which will reduce profits go Tug second season of the American Opera company opened in Philadelphia on last Monday evening, with the most gratifying results both as to artistic suc- cess and financial reiurns.
