D. 187, " Novary Public We are pleased to hear that Mr. Bechel has cut loose from the wrecking train. — ‘W shall presently be able to separ- ate the sheep in the city council from the goats. — A DIVISION is called for in the city council. Those who want to respect the decision of courts and pay attention to public sentiment are expected to stand up and be counted. SEVERAL deaths from blind faith in the faith cure have occurred recently. Quite an epidemic of this sort of ignor- ance has broken out and it is to be hoped it will soon run its course. E— THRrEE hundred miilion dollars is the estimated amount of earnings by the the Standard Oil company during the past fifteen years. There is no trust that can show sublimity like this. Mnr. KEELY, of motor fame, read a report to his company the other day. The only new thing in it wasthe change of name of his force. He now calls it ‘‘sympathetic vibration,” probably out of vespect for the duped stockholders. —— AN Omaha clergyman has preached a sermon on the text: ‘“Thou shalt not steal.” We wonder if he had in his mind’s eye the Council Bluffs preacher who a few Sundays ago delivered a ser- mon which he had cribbed almost bod- ilv from Brother Talmage. — OMAHA cannot afferd to stand still, She must keep up a healthy growth by stimulating industrial enterprise, con- tinuing her metropolitan system of pub- lic improvements, and establishing a chain of parks and boulevards that will make the city attractive to visitors and residents. THE convention of the American Federation of Labor held in Baltimore last week proclaimed the intention of avoiding politics. As an intention, merely, this is all very well, but if the order becomes large enough to wield political influence it will join the tur- mioil just the same. Workmen n hardly make themselves felt otherwise. THE salaries of Hawiian officials are being cut down. They have hitherto been out of all proportion to the size of the kingdom. His boozy Kalakaua, for instance, had a y m'ly income of two hundred thousand dol- lars. He lived in princely style, and could not keep out of debt, which goes to prove that there must be royal blood in his veins. BEFORE the board of trade commits itself to the Salt Lake resolutions against redwcing duties on lead, it should investigate the subject carefully, and make surve that it doesn't make a catspaw of itself. It seems to us that there is no danger of American lead be- ales as ing erowded out of the United S long as we are exporting lead products to other countries, —— Tne Pullman company has filed a bill in the United States courts against the Wagner sleeping-car company to re- strain it from using certain patents. If the Pullman company could only re- strain the Wagner people from imposing on the traveling public with their thivd- rate sleeping-car accommodations at first-class prices they would do the coun- try a great service, — THE shortest cut out of the city hall muddle 18 to let the unfinished base- ment work out by the dmg. Let the board of public works purchase the nec- essary material, hire competent me- chanics, and order the superintendent tobuild the walls up to the top of the water line. When the work is com- pleted the cost should be charged up against Regan Brothers, and it a balance is due them under their contract it should be paid over, but if the cost exceeds the amount contracted for, the city will have a right to recover from their bondsmen, This will insure prompt and good work, keep out penitentiary labor, and give the couneil an opportunity to lot the super- structure in time for getting the city hall building under roof be(erl the end of 1588, Schemes to Regulate Immigration. Tt was foreseen that the agitation hos- tile to immigration would produce 1n congress a flood of mensures designed to regulate and restrict the coming of forcigners to the United States. Thus far only the senate has been heard from, and the result was more moderate than was to have been expected, When tho house settles down to business the list of immigration bills, touching every phase of the subje s very certain to be largely increased. ¥t is also inevitable that a great many of these measurcs be very ahsurb, and will merit and receive no attention in the house or clsew It will b(- interesting to note the character of several bills intro- duced in the senate. The measure of Senator Palmer, of Michigan, is first in the list, and provides that no immigrant shall land in the United States unless he is furnished with a cer- tificate from the United States consul at the port from which he sails. This certificate shall specify that he is a de- sirable person to have in this country, and is neither a pauper, nor diseased, nor a nihilist, nor a socialist, nor an enemy of republican institutions. Some- what similar is the bill of Senator Mor- rill, of Vermont, which was advocated by its author in an elaborate speech in which he endeavored, not very success- fully, to show that great dange: threaten the country if some additional checks are not put upon immigration. He explained that the main object of his bill was to have the character of foreign immigrants examinea by the in consuls at the port of de- instead of by state commissioners at the ports of arrival. The bug- bear of the British government ship- ping its paupers tothe United States sup- plied the Vermont senator with a large part of his argument, and perhaps in certain directions the fost telling part. Another meusure is by Senator Reagan, of Texas, and authorizes the appoint- ment of inspectors of immigration, to be stationed at such ports of entry as the secretary of the treasury shall deem proper. Immigrants shall not be al- lowed to land unless the master of the vessel shall produce a certificate for each one showing that he is not de- ported for erime, is not a pauper, luna- tic or idiot not in charge of blood rela- tions or authorized guardians, is not an assisted immigrant, and is not under contract to labor in the United States, This measure really provides for no restriction not already imposed by existing laws, and simply makes provis- ion for greater precaution against the landing of objectionable immigrants by the appointment of inspectors under the authority of the secretary of the treas- ury. If it can be shown that the custom house officers cnnnnvnhsh be entrusted with the required inspection, the now officials, having this as their specified duty, may be necessary. Itis not probuble that any one of these bills will become law. It is more likely that out of the multitude of m ures that will be proposed nothing will come. [tisquite poseible that when this question reaches the stage of dis- cussion and careful investigation it will be found not to be of such overshad- owing importance as the anti- immigration agitators would have it appear. Even the veteran Senator Morrill, who very rarely sees a for- eigner in his state, may be compelled to modify his fears of coming calamity to American interests from the annuat in- flow of foreign-born citizens. We have heretofore insisted, in veferring to this subjeet, that the agitation renewed dur- ing the present year against immigra- tion is entirely unreasonable, and that if it should be successful in securing legislation of the eharacter it demands the effect could not fail to be detri- mental to the national prosperity. It seems to us to be obvious that the United States, with an area and a wealth of re- sources capable of sustaining ten times its present population, could make no greater mistake than to ercct barric beyond those alveady existing, against immigration. The laws: we now have keep out eriminals, paupers, the insane and laborers under contract, and if these are properly enforced no other legislatlon is required. If some of that which has been proposed should be adopted the result would be not ouly to restrict immigration, but very hkely to invite retaliatory measures on the part of foreign governments, which a great many citizens of the United States would find extremely annoying and in- convenient. The New England Farmers, The statement was recently made by the secretary of the Maine board of agriculture that “no other industry in New England had paid so well as that of tilling the soil,” a very gratifying fact if true. But the Springtield, Ma: Republican questions that it is true. That paper says: “The farmers have made us believe it was not, and the ev dence has all pointed to the fact that they are right. 1t may be so in Maine, and we wish it was all over New Eng- land, and yet the fact cannot be over- looked that for twenty years all kinds of farm property has been wofully de- procinting in value in at least threo of the six states. A good deal of very profitable business is being done and has been done of late in New England, but it is not generally in the farming line.” ‘It is only a few months ago that the farmers of New England were besought to unite in an effort to secure relief under the inter- state commerce law from the competi- tion of the farmers of the west, which it was claimed had proved disastrous to them. At that time there was a vol- uminous array of evidence showing that the farmers of New England were as u class anything but prosperous. Yet of all farmers it would scem that those of New England should be prosperous, if there is anything in the argument that the velopment of manufacturing in- dustries benefits agriculture. New England is a vast workshop, with a tremendous eapac for consuming the products of the soil. It is thickly dotted with cities and towns over most of which hangs the protecting wgis of the high tariff. It contains more people to the square mile than any other equal portion of the nation, and we- it is the wenlthiest section. All these fortunate conditions would scem to assure to the farmers of that region a high degree of prosperity, but as a mat- ter of fact they donot have it. Ivi- dently the cxperience of the New Eng- land .farmers does uot show that the propinquity of the farmer and the manufacturor is nlways and nocessarily to the advantage of the tiller of the soil. It is not different in Pennsylvania, the majority of whose farmers are living a hand-to-mouth existence, Within the past few years hundreds of farms in that state have been abandoned, not because the land was worthiess, but for the rea- son that there was no profit in cultivat- ing it. Yet the state grange in session at Harrisburg last week refused to adopt a resolution favoring a revision of the tariff, thus showing how deeply imbued most of the farmers of Pennsylvania are with o policy which their daily experience tells them is of no advantage to them, and which they ought to be able to sce is the source of an exaction of which they might be largely relieved without the slightest injury, but with probable benefit, to the industries of the state. These experiences have a relation to the question now uppermost in public attention that gives them a present in= terest and value very much greater than they ordinarily possess. Too Much Marke: House. In season und out of scason the BEE has urged the council to establish a pub- lic mar It is immaterial whether the market house is built, by the city or by o private corporation—provided al- ways that the interests of the public are properly guarded and market house ac- commoduations are not made a monopoly. It strikes us, however, that the market house ordinance now pending before the council is altogether one-si confers a very valuable franchy out sufficient guaranty and restriction. The proposed market houses may be mere cow sheds erected chiefly with a view of raising the wind on lots in their neighborhood. The proposition te establish four or six market places looks very tempting,-but Om: does not need four market houses any more than a cat nceds four tails. Ono large market house con- structed in metropolitan style with all the modern conveniences, and centrally located, will answer all the wants of a city with 150,000 to 200,000 popu- lation. Four cheap John market sheds would only distract dealers who have to fit up stalls. Few of them could afford to rent stalls and keep open house in four market places, with the market buyers scattered, and the garden truck men, dairy farmers and other venders of products would find market dealing unprofitable. One central ma ket house open each week day will ac- commodate dealers and buyers and as- sure variety of products and active com- petition, which is the main object of a public market. . WE are much pleased to_observe that our enterprising local contemporaries are making headway teward increasing their circulation, but the BEE modestly points to the fact that in any compoti- tion in which sworn statements of cir- culation are required the field is left to the BeE undisputed. It was so with the county advertising which was awarded to the Bee without competition, althouglr the publishers of other dailies were twice invited to send in their bids. It goes without saying that the BEE has never had a competitor for the publication of license notices, which, under the Slo- cum law, must be inserted in the paper having the largest circulation. SENATOR SHERMAN will address the senate on the president’s message after the holiday recess. The line of discus- sion that will be pursued by Mr. Sher- man can be anticipated, but the country may reasonably expect a contribution to the intelligent consideration of the questions involved in the of very much higher character and value than that made by Mr. Blaine. What Mr. Sherman shall say, we may feel as- sured, will be a thorough and states- manlike exposition of his side of the controversy, and will very likely supply most of the solid argument which the protectionists in and out of congress will rely upon for the success of their cause. message STATE TERRITORY.

Proposition to Build an Immense Fire- Proof Structure. A number of prominent citizens met at the chamber of commerce last evening to take preliminary steps towards the erection of & fire-proof hotel. Mr. G. M. Hitchcock made averbal proposition to the effect that he would agree to construct a hotel seven stories in height, to cover about 200 feet s(quare, at the corner of Twentieth and Far- nam streets on condition that he be given a bonns of #150,000, and that a portion of the bonds which he expects to issuo shall be taken by citizens of Omaha. The cost of such a structure is estimated at between 500,000 and $700,000. The loca- tion proposed is at the crossing of the cable line vunning north and south wi ¥ith the strect car line running east and west. After an informal talk the parties inter- ested agreed to sound _property owners and business men in regard to the feasibility of obtaining the bonus asked just as soon as Mr. Hitchcock shall put his proposition in the proper forni, S T THE TRIALS OF JACOB. Experiences of Young Man Who ‘Wanted to Marry. The matrimonial department of Judge M- Culloch’s court is a good place to study the frailtics of human mature, and sometimes many lud us happenings are witnessed. Yesterday a beardless youth stalked into the office of Marriage License Clerk Long, and expressed a longingipsire to “hitch up for life” with a lady wikhad captured his heart. He said his name Jacob Larsen, that he hailed from Ervin| , Neb., where his fair charmer also residi¥, and whose name is Ellen Swanson. Kl has seen twenty-three warm summers, and Pacob presented an affi- davit taken by him before a justice of the peace that he was twenty-one years of age, the legal requirements of the law. Mr. Long suspected something wrong from the youth- ful uppearance of Jucpb, and began quizzing him., How old are you?” Mr. Long asked in his kind and fatherly way. “Tweuty-one,” replicd Jacob without a blush. ““When were you twenty-one?” This was a puzzler to Jacob. He colored up, and showed signs of Full( as hesucceeded nmering out: “Well, I ain't twenty- , but 1 will be my uuxt birthda Jacob acknowledged to having perjured himself before the justice of the peace, and repented his rashness with tears in his eyes. Mr, Long gave the youth some good advice and told him to go and get the written con- sent of his father and he would give him a license, Jacob darted out, returned in a fow moments with his sire, who consented to the marriage and the license was cheerfully given. S Military Notes. Chief Clerk Davis, of military headquar- ters, was at his desk yesterday after a ten duy’s absence, being confined to his bed by sickness.

There was not a vacant chair when the South Omaha city council met in the ofice of Justice Levy last night, and Mayor Savidge, Councilmen Smith, Geary, Loescher, Burke, Glasgow and Rafferty answered to the roll call. Al scemed impressed with the fact that South Omaha is now a city of the first class and that their constituents expected first-class work from them as their repre- sentatives, As a result, overy report was watched carefully, and wherever thore was a 0 Faiso an objection, that objection 18 raised. The reports of Police Judge Reuther and City Marshal Rice came in for an unusual share of attention, and both were referred to a special sitting of the whole council, which will meet to-night, and by which all books and vouchers will be exammed.

The unostentatious arrival into the city yesterday moon over the Wabash railroad from St. Louis of Bishop Bonacum, who is to be located at Lincoln, kept numbers away from the depot who would have otherwise Dbeen there to greet and wish him god-speed in his now responsible charge had his coming been known. Bishop O'Connor a number of the local clergy were on hand to welcome the bishop and his traveling companions from St. Louis, Fathers Hennessey, Tobeyn, Zeigler and Bren . The bishop was escorted to a carriage and driven to Bishop O’Connor's on ‘Thirty-sixth street, where he was made com- fortable and at home. Fathers Hennessey and Tobeyn went to their hotel, and Fathers Zeigler and Brennan accepted the hospirality of the local clergy. During the day Rishop Bonacum received several gentlemen prominently identified with the Catholic faith in Omaha, and overybody was impressed and pleased with him. The bishop is about forty years of age and was_ordained as a priest eighteen years ago. He was a rosident of St. Louis for nearly seven years, during which time he was pastor of the church of the Holy Name. A large delegation of friends accom- pani him to the depot when he left St. Louis Sunday night. Po-day at noon a special train will arrive in Omaha from Lincoln bearing a delegation to escort Bishop Bonacum to his new home. The return trip will be at 5 p. m. over the B. M., and wupon the arrival of the party at Lincoln a grand public re- ception will be held at Funk’s opera house. Governor Thayer and other promiuent citi- zens will take part in the exercises. AMUSEMENTS, Lilian Olcott at Boyd's Last Evening. The sudden change in the weather in all probability had much to do with the slimness of the house at Boyd's last night to sce Lilian Olcott in Sardou’s great spectacular drama of ““Theodora.” To say that it was a performance would be stretching facts derably. However, it was more than nd pleased those who saw it well. In the leading role Miss Oleott \lisl)luy(‘\l much beauty and strength, and in one or two instances the intensity of her performance was such as to elicit the warmest applause. The costumes were gorgeous and picturesque in the extreme. Mr, Jumes Colville, as Adrian, played the part well and shared almost equally with Miss Oleot the plandits of the audience. Mil- ton Rainford, as Justinian, W. Standish, as Marcellus, H. Chesley, as Balisarius, and Estelle Gilbert, as Tamara, acquitted them- selves with credit. The piece is magunificently and from the rise to the fall of the cur- in it is one continuous panorama of superb pictures, and ———— Railroad Note: (=] CHICAGO AND NORTHWESTERN LIMITED.

HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR, A Lively Time at the Board of Bdu- cation Meeting. OMITTED FROM THE TEXT BOOK. A Resolution Ordering the Facts About the “Late Unpleasantness' to Be Taught Referred - Other Busi can, Board of Education. The regular bi-weekly meeting of the board of cducation was held last evening. Al the members were presont except Mosses, Clarke and Felton. In the absence of the president Mr. Gray filled the chair. A warrant was ordered issued in favor of McCague Bros, for lots in Lowe's addition. An estimate of §91,000 for necessary school expenses for 1858 was presented, and ordered 10 be forwarded to the city council, asking them to make therefor a levy of four mills on all taxable property, Text books to cost £35 were ordered purchased. The work of P. S. Boien on the Hickory and Long schools was accopted. Also the buildings erectod by Sam- uel G. Stevenson on the Center and Lake school sites. Two hundred new seats were ordered for use in the schools. The secretas was ordered to advertise for bids to be ac. companied with plans and specifications for the placing of stand pipes and fire escapes on the high school. The committee on” rules, forms and print- ing presented a series of rules and regu- Iations governing the oftice of superintendent of school buildings. Referred to committee on buildings and property. F. R. McConnell, Dr. Saville and W. Copeland were ap- pointed as committee on high school. It was decided to reassemble the schools after the holidays on Tuesday,” January 3, us the second is to be observed as a holi Mr. Auchmocdy presented the following resolution : Whereas, Attention has been called to the fact that in the history of the United States taught in the Bighth grade of of our schools, the civil war is entirely ignored, and that the .y DOW in use is not up to Standard, and i sense of this board that the hist of the civil war is of as much importan not more, than_any event that hus happened in this world since the landing of Columbus; therefore, be it Resolved, That the committee on teachers and text books be instructed to change the history now in use for one that gives a better history of that most important event, and also that the superintendent of schools be in- structed to see that that part of the histor, is taught both in the Kighth grade and 1n the high school. This called forth an interesting discussion, Mr. Ju the superintendent, was called upon to give his opinion in regard to the present history used. He thought it could easily be dispensed with and recommended the udoption of a text-book of better arrange- ment and_literaxy style. As the time of studying United States history was limited 10 one year, he said it was customary to omit the study of the civil war. EMr. Copeland and Mr. McConnell both asked why something less important could not be omitted instead.
