This is the first quar- terly dividend on an investment of 82,500 a yea Ir the agitation of a new first class hetel results in nothing more than stim- ulating the improvement of existing hotels and enlarging their facilities, it will not have been made in vain. BLAINE said “no.” FEditor Childs said “no.” Phil Sheridan says ‘‘no.” But Chauncey M. Depew will say ‘‘yes,” and a presidential boomlet will try its winglets on the raw March air. Miss ROSE CLEVELAND is soon to publish a volume of poems. There must be some foundation for the stories of disagreement between Rose and her big brother or else she would not thus wantonly endanger his chances for re- election. — A s1X hundred and fifty dollar pie has been baked by the professor of cookery at the high school for one of the mem- bers of the board of education and the ‘board has shown its appreciation of the art of pic-baking by promptly placing an assistant professor of cookery on the school board pay-roll. THE indications are that the commit- teo on education will never report the Blair bill to the house. Congressman Crain of Texas'will be chairman of the sub-committee which will have charge of the bill, and he as well as others are openly hostile to Senator Blair's bill to promote mendicancy in the United ica. THE result of the West Southwark election 1n England on the 17th inst. was a stunning surprise to the torie At the election last Friday the liberals piled up the extraordinary majority of 1,194, an increase highly significant when the total number of voters was only 6,082, It takes a very little siraw to show the way the political wind blows. JUDGE COOLEY of the inter-state rail- way commission is reported to say that the ebhare holders of the C. B, & Q., the C. M. &St. P., and the C.R. L & P., had better speedily combine to restrain their executive officers who in Iowa and Nebraska are cutting one another's throats, and the throats of their compa- nies, The law requires, says the judge, that the commission fix reasonable rates, and how can the commission deny that rates fixed by the railroads themselves are reasonable for those railroads? Tne house committee sent into the conl regions to investigate the strike there have not covered themselves with glory. They made a political filhbuster- ing expodition for the democratic party. Iustead of carefully studying the im- portant economic questions involved in tho controversy between the strikers and their employers, tho committee was intent only on gathering political capi- tal for the coming campaign. All the mossbacks engaged in this kind of bus- iness instead of properly attending to their duties should be branded and re- tived. e———— PLEURO-PNEUMONIA among cattle has not been stamped out as many seem tosuppose, On the contrary the dis- ease 1s spreading. The senate commit- tee ou agriculture, recognizing the im- portauce of exterpating the scourge, has agreed upon & bill with that object in view. This bill authorizes the presi- dent to create a board of three persons, immediately after its passage, to be knownasthe bureau of Animal Industry. These commissioners are to have a salary of four thousand dollars per annum. The first of their duties is to report on the condition of domestic ani- mals of the United States, their protec- tion and use, and to inquire into and re- port the causes of communicable dis- cases among them, and means of pre- vention and cure of the same. This is all very well if the intentions of the framoers of the bill are carried out, should it become law. But the history of the past teaches that such measures usually end in a scramble for the salary and very little good in the direction in- tended. Democratic Economy. The political reformers of the house of representatives are preparing to make a concerted attack upon all meas- ures providing for appropriations for publie buildings. They have organ- ized under the lead of Sam Randall,who is prepared to cut down anything but the tariff, and Bill Holman, Who is a chronic obstructionist for the sake of obstruction. The democratic majority are eombining to block all legislation of this class so far as practicable, and to pare down every appropriation without regard to the necessities of the various cities and towns throughout the country. There are now before the house of representatives bills providing for 158 public buildings distributed among thirty-five* states, four territories and the Distriet of Columbin. Of these Kansas City, Denver, Omaha and Mil- waukee together ask for about'#5,000,000, the remaining 17 all for a total ag- gregate of appropriations of $25,000,000. Recognizing that a presidential campaign is approaching, the house of representatives is fighting vig- orously for position.. The old cry eof economy is heard with redoubled vigor coming from the throats of politicians who, in off years, are the loudest in their demands for an expenditure of money in districts where it will do the most good to the party. The house com- mittee on public grounds and buildings has concocted a system by which, be- tween the sub-committee and the com- mittee, there is another body called the revising committee, comprising the chairman of the different sub-commit- tees, whose judgment upon the various measures to be reported must be ob- tained before any anction can be taken by the full committee itself. This body has been passing upon the larger appro- priations asked for, and in every in- stunce has insisted upon cutting them down from a half to two-thirds, The object of this action is the political effect, and statements as to the pressing necessity for appropriations asked, and the future economy to the government in making lump appropriations have been urged in vain. This kind of bogus economy is very expensive in the end. There is nothing which experience has proved more con- clusively than the fact that dribbling appropriations for a praiseworthy object lengthen themselves into a much larger sum than would have been required if the appropriation had been made in bulk in the first instance. There is nota public building which has becn con- structed in the past ten yearsin the Unitell States under this method but which is a standing proof to the lack of wisdom of this policy. Omaha's re- quest for a million and a half was based upon a thorough survey of the field and was cordially and cheerfully endorsed by the supervising architect of the treasury as a wise expenditure fora nceded end. It was cut down in the senate to one million two hundred thousand, simply because Milwaukee had applied for the same amount and the senator from Wisconsin objected to any western city obtaining in his own committee more than the city which he represents applied for. The bill has now been reported by the house com- mittee for 8500,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary for the purchase of asite, leaving another scssion of con- gress, or another congress, to provide the funds needed to crect the super- structure. The argument used to bolster up this paring down policy is that no structure can be built until the legislature of Nebraska has ceded title to the ground. Every member of the committee knew that this was a mere subterfuge to prevent the passage of a measure. There was not asingle valid ground of objection against the appro- priation which was endorsed by the ad- ministration as one worthy of passage. The legislature of Nebraska has never yet refused, nor will it probably ever refuse, to make every provision for the erection of public buildings in the state at government expense, nor has any other state or territory to our knowledge cast a single obs .mru in the way of the government obtaining aclear and complete title free from state interforence. It is the old story of the east opposing the west and of sclf-interest declining to advance the interest of the other scc- tions of the country because there was nothing in it for states which the op- posing members represented. This policy, which is becoming more marked in every session of congress, will inevit- ably result in a combination of interests outside of paryy lines, which will make itself felt whon legislation affecting the east, and in which the west has no local interest is up for consideration. The entire cast is dotted with Jevidences of governmental gonsideration in the line of public buildings, mver and bor improvements, complete mail service and fast trains on the railroads sub- sidized by the postofice department, Whenever a complaint comes from the west of insufficient mail accommoda- tions, lack of public buildings demanded | by the necessities of the public service in growing communities, and needed im- provements of streams which are actual- ly 'navigable, a howl of ‘‘economy and reform” rises from a hundred throats of men whose states have long ago been amply provided for in these respects, and who now make themselves obstruction- ists 1n the pathof the interestsof agreat and a growing section of the country. The time is coming when the people of the United States will demand that the government be granted power and means to ercct needed public buildings —postoftices, custom houses and court houses without being obliged to wait upon the bickering .and political chi- canery of congress, The fayor which has alrcady been shown towards the bills introduced at the present ses- sion, among which is Senator Pad- dock’s calling for the construction of postoflices of the second and third classes is evidence of the growing senti- ment in behalf of a policy which looks to the future as well as to the present, and which would lift the whole question of internal improvements out of the hands of conflicting political interests. m—— Selfish Wool Gatherers. The president of the Colorado Wool Growers' association has - issued o call inviting the sheep men to meet at Den- ver on the 23d inst. in order to protest against reducing the tariff on wool. Sympathy and substantial support is to be given to the National Wool Growers association of the United States in their efforts to restore the wool tariff of 1876. The eall of the Colorado wool growers professes openly to be in the ‘‘in- terest” of the grower. Whatever “interest” the manufacturer or the con- sumer has in the matter is ignored. Taking a Colorado wool grower's view of the case, would it not be more to his “interest” to lay an embargo upon the use of California, Texas and Mexican wool as well as Australian wools, in the manufacture and wear of woolens in Colorado? Surely, a monopoly of sup- plying all the wool for the clothing of every man, woman and child «in Colo- rado would be of much greatrr “‘inter- est” to the Colorado wool-grower than restoring the tariff of 1876, The ves- toration of the tariff of 1876 would be an impetus o wool-growing, but before the Colorado wool-grower could reap the benefit of that tariff he would find Texas, California, Wyoming and New Mexican weol competing in his own market, The result would be that his “interest” would be put into jeopardy. If then only the “interest” of the Colo- rado wool-growers is to be considered in the convention, let their memovial to congress pray for an embargo against all wool except their own. THE national democratic committee is assembled in Washington and will to- day fix the time and place of holding the next national democratic conven- tion. The advices at this hour indicate a lively contest between Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco for the convention honors, with chances favor- ing them in the order named. Each of the cities is represented by a strong delegation of citizens and generous, not to say lavish, bids are promised from all of the aspiring cities. The Chicago papers have noted with gbme pride that the Garden City's delegation of solicitors comprises some of its highest-toned citizens—a remarka- ble departure from four years ago when Mike McDonald captured the prize for the city, which at that time he was carrying - in his trousers’ pocket. Should his silk-stockinged success- ors fail, there will be great dis- comfiture in the windy city; doubly so if hated St. Louis should grasp the prize. The movement to secure it for San Francisco 18 considerably stronger, t0o, than was expected—the chief in- ducement being the hope that a national convention on the coast. and possibly n candidate for the tail of the ticket would materially aid the democracy in securing one or more of the coast states. The events of to-day ave therefore fraught with interest for ‘‘the unwashed and unterrified.” HASCALL'S briefs on the city hall contracts leaves nothing for the court to do but to dismiss the injunction suit, let the council fix on a new location for city hall, and send the board of educa- tion to jail for squnandering over $20,000 in a bottomless pit en upper Farnam street. Hascall’s sheet-auchor is the new charter, which he always ignores except when he wants to twist and tor- ture its provisions into justifying hi peculiar methods of conducting munici- pal affaivs. The new charter leaves the council free to erect publi¢ build- ings within the city wherever it may see fit to locate them, therefore Hasenll maintains the council is justified in over-ruling the location of the city hall made under the previous charter by a vote of the people. The present city council did not make a contract with the board of education for joint con- struction and occupancy of the city hall, therefore Hascall contends it is not bound by coantracts made under a former charter, and may turn up its nose at the school board and tell them to get their $21,000 out of the aban- doned foundation if they can,or go to—. This is Hascall's logic in a nutshell. TKE county commissioners propose to take a junket to St. Louis for the pur- pos of investigating jail construction and jail management. This trip, of course, will be at the county’s expense. Now, we do not believe the taxpayers of Douglas county will get their money’s worth out of this excursion. What do the commissioners expect to learn tha they do not already know, or that can- not be found out without going to St. Lows? The Douglas county jail is perfectly safe, and in the main in excellent condition for the safe- keeping of prisoners. The recent grand jury has made recommendations concerning jail management and disci- pline which if carried out will enable the commissioners to inaugurate all the reforms that are at present demanded of them. If, however, they contemplate the erection of a new 1 building on another site than the court house grounds they can get all the plans the need without traveling at the public ex pense. ——— Two weeks ago the council, at the urgent vequest of the board of educa- tion, levied a two mill tax for school purposes 1n addition to the forty-two mills levied for other purposes. This levy was needless, The board has at its disposal $200,000 a year from licenses and will get $25,000 from the state in the annual apportionment. That would have been ample to meet all legitimate expenses of school man- agement 1f the school board was disposed to observe ordinary economy. Having seoured the two mill levy the board emulates the council in recklessness in squandering money right and left and dispersing favors with a lavish hand, The natural outeome will be in Omaha what it has been in other cities where pubtic school boards have become cen- tres of intrigue, nepotism and jobbery.

Until recently we had not felt that it would be necessary to appeal to our delegation in congress that justice and fair play should be done in the matter of selecting places for holding addi- tional terms of the United States court. ‘We were assured by General Van Wyck that heretofore in any bill introduced or in any conference held in Washington, Nebraska City was conceded as one of the additional places. We did_not suj prose it possible that the five distinguished gentlemen who represent the state would for a moment, when acting upon the subjact, seriously contemplate leaving out Nebraska Ci: Will some one of the delegation in- form us why it is now so proposed, when the public building now being con- structed by the United States for post- urlfl\'u and court purposes is nearly com- pleted § Tt will be answered—for we can con- ceive of no other reply—that we are within sixty miles n} Omaha and the same distance from Lincoln. That, evi- dently, cannot be the reason, as the pro- hosed bill designates Kearney and astings among the new places; Jand both, so far as we know. belong there, though they are only thirty-cight miles apart. What, then, can be the reason ? We urge the delegation to pause a moment and sce how they can be justi- fied in the judgment of the people. Such questionsawre of too much interest and seriousness to the people for their rights to be bartered away for possible political or personal advantage, and we ask the delegation to at least wait and hear from the solid men of Ne- braska City. e SOUTH OMAHA NEWS, ‘Wm.
