THE OMAHA DAILY BEE:. SATURDAY. APRIL 28 1888 " GANES COMMENGE T0 COUN, Omaha and Minneapolis Will Meet 1In the First Schedule Contest. OUR BOYS WILL SURELY WIN, Yesterday's Game in the National League and Amorican Association ~Racing at Washington—The Slugger on the Sea. The Start For the Pennant. The championship season of the Western mssociation opens this afternoon with the Jocal team pitted against the Minneapolis Doys, and there is every prospect of a close and exciting contest. The team from the flour city took two games out of three from our boys on their recent exhibition trip, and they are loud in their brags that they will have an equal number out of their opening championship es. On this point, how- ever, they will evidently take a great tumble, a8 the Omahas are fully awake to the im- - “portance of coming out on top in this opening series. The only Lovett and Wilson will form the home battery this afternoon, and it 1s safe to bank on victory. Lovettis the oqual to- ay of any twirler in the country, and his resence in the box will go along way toward nfusing the balance of the team with that nerve and_confidence that always achieves “Buccess. If Minneapolis beats to-day, why ust wait and see the boys put it on them on junday and Monday. Manager Selee, in an interview with a Ber cfimmr last evening, said that it would be n]usl to judge the Omahas on the basis of their recent exhibitory work. Cassian was #il out of condition and Healy has been hardly . @ble to hold his head up. He is asick man, and it was unreasonable to ot any effective work from him. The bfi ance of the team were ail right, and bat- fted, flelded and ran bases in a manner that will win th a majority of the games in the championship struggle. Watch them to-day. Ed (;M(flc‘d has been signed and will re- rt to-day. He is rated as a No. 1 backstop, lightning thrower, a sure catch and a hit- r of no ordinary ability. Everything is ing done that capital and brains can do to nsure Omaha a creditable place in the pen- ant race, and if hard, honest work can win his distinction, Omahans can rely upon their representatives to secure 1t. Rain Prevented the Final Game. Kaxsas Crry, April 27.—[Special Telegram fo the Bee.|—Rain prevented the final game for the local championship between , the American and Western associations to-day.

House. WasniNarox, April 27.—-On motion of Mr. Dunham of Illinois, the senate amendment was concurrod in 10 the house.bill authoriz ing the city of Chicago to erectacrib in Lake Michigan for waterwork purposes. The house adopted a resolation calling on the secretary of the treasury for information relative tothe seal fisheries in Alaska. The house then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Springer of Illinois, in the chair) on the tarift bill. Mr. Brewer of Michigan, gladly welcomed the issuc prosented by the pending moasure For the three years of democratic adminis- tration the democratic party had played fast and loose on the great tariff question, until the necessities of government had compelled the administration to takesome decided posi- tion, and he lLonored the president for having forced his party to stop its double dealing and define its attitude. He then ad- vocated the protective system, He wanted to see that system continued which had m this land grow and prosper beyond all othe He was especially earnost in his opposition to the free wool clause, which he said would ruin that industry. Mr. Ford of Michigan sa presented now was one of tariff reduction, not abolition. Congress had no right to take the part of a few manufacturers against tho great body of consumers. But that was just ‘what had been done. No industries showed more poverty, more destitution and more strikes among their workingmen than theso so-called protected ones. Referring to the claim that the home market was the best market, Mr. Ford said that as a result of this home market swindle the farmer was most beautifully deluded. The high tariff party gets his money and the farmer gets the hot end of the poker. He attributed the exist- ence of pools to the continuance of the high tanff. Mr. Goff of West Virginia spoke in_opposi- tion to the bill. President Cleveland's cold- blooded indiffcrence to the benefits of the people was entitled to precedence over all the emanations from the executive mansion all our history. With such a spirit as President Cleveland exhibited, dominating almost with a single impulse the democratic side of the house, he (Goff) would save our industries and our homes. The Mills bill was conceived by minds impregnated with economic viciousness. It passage would be the death-knell of protection. While 1t was not all that its friends hoped for, it was in the line of legislation “they long had sought, and mourned because they found it not." If they succeeded now they proposed next year to take another stop and gradually but surely the people were to be march into the camp of those who contended tor a_tariff for revenue only. That system, as far as labor was involved and our industries were concerned, was as bad as free trade. The people had been deceived in the last presi- dential campaign by the declaration that Cloveland was a protectionist. ‘Che hand of Esau would be offered again, but_the people would not again be deceived. The people had at last found out the democratic party. In conclusion he said that the protective system had enable the government to perfect a system of finance, which was the marvel of the age. It had fostered our industries, built up our manufactures, and ovened up our wildernesses. It had dignified our labor and educated our people. t had made the flag of our country typical of that which was great in human thought, and God only knows what it would do for our land if the democratic rarty would let it alone. Mr. Landis of Illinois submitted an argu- ment in support of the bill and in opposition 10 the protective theory. While heartily ad- vocating the bill he regretted that it touched the whisky and tobacco taxes, which, instead of being reduced, should be increased. The committee then rose and the house took a recess until 8 o'clock p. m the evening session to be for the consideration of private pension bills, - 1 the question Army News.

INCREASE OF SALARIES VOTED. But the City Too Poor to Pay For Much Needed FRire Plugs — Other Business Trans- acted—City News, South Omaha's City Council, Council procecdings were a little varied Iast night, and instead of the usual introduc- tion and orchestra, the members were treated toadog fight—not the regulation kind of a dog fight, but one in which the life of a dog was at stake and the dog lost. It had bitten a boy and the boy wanted it killed. Judge Reuther was in the mazor’s chair, and as the members came ono after another they glanced furtively at his honor and then disappeared. They didn't realize for atime that he was only trying a dog case, but it looked ominous and they left. When tho case was finished the judge fined the dog $5 and costs and sen- tenced the owner to bo shot. Then he saw that he had made a mistake and he sentonced the dog to be shot and fined the alleged owner 5 and costs, W, 8, O'Keefe explained that the owner didn't own the dog and was fined $95 for contempt of court. Another man threatened to wring the neck of the boy that said he was bitten and he got run in, but all the cases were appealed. While they were lookmg for bonds the council chamber was surrendered to the council, and as Marshal McCracken was not there Mayor Sloan called them to order. The roll was called and the minutes were read withoutany disturbance, and then th mem- bers settled down to straight business. The call for standing committees brought out Councilman McMillan, who reported favora- bly on thirty-two applicants for licenses and referred four for further consideration. For the finance committee the same council- man reported that the police were owed about $837, and thought they ought to be paid. Councilman Smith, for the fire and water committee, reported that the fire plugs asked for by the Omaha Packing company wero badly needed, but the finances of the city would not allow of them at present. They also reported in favor of establishing the grade on I strect botween Twenty-fourth and Thirty-fifth streets, and then putting in the plugs as soon as possible. Following fire and water came gas, and on behalf of his committee Councilman Bayliss reported favorably on three ordinances, No. 50 being read a second time. The company asked too much, and all the three ordinances were laid over for a time. Then came ‘‘the salary grab,” and a new ordinance was read raisin the mBKOl' salary 8200, the conncilmen i each, the clerk §200, the city attorney i the city engineer $200, and leaving thc hnrd working city treasurer, policemen and jailer as before; only the jailer is to got 25 cents per meal for meals furnished to prisoners. The salaries as they were, and as they will be, read as follows: Now. $ 500 300 500 500 Formerly. $ 300 ity attorney. Engineer. .. Total. Tncroase, This was_evidently mmlucmry, for it was noted that not a single member voted against it, although the treasury cannot afford to supply fire plugs where they are_admittedly necessary. Still $1,100 per year is not much when it is divided among_city oficials, so to raise the amount an_ordinance was read, asking house holders to number their houses ata costof from 25cto 50ceach. If they don’t they'll get fined, and if thoy do **Mr, Driggs” will_charge '25c for telling them what their numbers should be, and then sup- ply numbers at 25¢ or 50¢ extra. There was considerable discussion about’ it, but as no one could explain definitely whether the ordinance meant to_supply numbers, infor- mation and ull_connected with it for 25¢ for more or for less, i $1to get a number on his house. The only thing certain is that each house must bo numbered at the owner’s expense, it must be done within sixty days’ or the owuer liable to a fine of §20. " Then it was decided to charge real estate men a fee for the privilege of 'selling town lots, and ordi- nance No. 55 calls upon them to put up $100 or take down their shingle. The alternati is a £10 to $50 fine or thirty days in the county jail. It was referred to the ordinance com- mittee. Special committees had nothing special to report, except that ex-Engincer Meyers had been paid, and that he had turned over the plans ana profiles the city wanted so badly. This let the council breathe more freely, and they good-humoredly consigned the petitions of James Maloney, Nels A.” Lundgren, B. A. Finnerty and John Fallon, who wanted to join “the force,” to the olice committee. Councilman Baylis started a discussion on the subject of appointing a _city scavenger, and as the opinion was unanimous that such an official was badly needed, it was referred to the ordinance committee. Under the head of communications Marshal McCracken communicated the fact that he had suspended Officer Al Keenan for coming to roll call any time he winted. A wotion to allow H. C. Bostwick $50 law expenses for suing the city on his own ¢ was opposed by Councilman Bay thought it wasn't necessary for him to sue the city. Besides that, Mr. Bostwick had been allowed interest on his claim, which sufficient. Although it was proved that ho had gono to considerablo troublo to holp the city through its financial straits, the mo- tion was voted down. Then it was learned that the policemen would have to pay (as their salaries were included in the judgment) if the council did not, and the vote was re- considered and the original motion carried. Then there was trouble. Councilman O'Rourke said some of the city teamsters had refused to work till they knew when they would get paid. It was a conundrum, for no one could say when. Councilman Smith suggested that, the saloonkeepers be charged §100 occupation tax, and brought Councilmen Burk, O'Rourke and Rafferty to the rescue. It was finally decided that ail lines of business be charged a tax, and the attorney was instructed to draft the neces- sary ordinances. Smith, McMillan, Fenno and Bayliss voted yea, and Burk, Rafferty, O'Rourlke and Pelfon, nay, tho mayor giving ting vote and declaring the motion .l.\mml Maloney and Thomas Brennan were then appointed members of the force and duly sworn in, after which considerabie time was taken up in talking over the license question, It was decided that the license committee meet to-morrow to examine the bouds and petitions, after which the meeting adjourned. What to Pay Taxes On. There scems 1o be a lack of information as to what amount of property taxpayers should pay taxes on. For general information the law on the subject is given below, but it may be stated that on account of the heavy state tax, tho custom heretofore has beeu to assess atabout one-third the value. What the as- sessors will do this year remains to be seen. Tho statutes read as follows: Personal property shail be valued as fol- lows: First—All personal property except as herein otherwise directod, shall be valued at its fair cash value. Second—Every credit for & certain sum, payable cither in money or labor, shall be valued at a fair cash value for the sum so_payable; if for any ar- ticle of property, or for labor or service of avy kind, it shall be valued at the current or royaltics shall be valued at their ent vaiues. Real property shall be valued as follows: First—Each tract or lot of real property shall be valued at its fair value, estimated at the price it would bring at & \'uluulal) sale thereof. where public notice had been given, and a payment of one-third cash, and the bal- ance secured by & mortgage on the paoperty. Second—Leasehold estates, including leases of school and other lands of the state, shall | be valued at such a price as they at a fair voluntary sale for cash Where a building or structure owned by & lessee, is located om land leased frow anothor, the samo shall be valued at such a price as such buildingor :(rumuro would sell at a fair voluntaty sade for cash. iy Notes About the City. jeorge W.

Cricaao, April 21—E. B. Clark, president of the Calumet and Chicago canal and dock company, died at his residence last night, of pneumonia. e A WONDERFUL TUNNEL, The Longest in the World, and It was Begun a'Century Ago. An engineering work that has taken over a century to construct can hardly fail to offersome points of interest in its history, and illustrate the march of events during the years of its progress. An instance of Llnsl nd is to be found in a tunnel not long since completed, bot which was commenced oyerone hun- dred years ago. This tunnel, or adit, as it should be more strictly termed, is at Schemnitz, in Hungary. Its construc- tion was agreed upon in1782, the object being to carry off the water from the Schemnitz mines to the lowest part of the Gran valley, The work is now complete, and it forms the longest tunnel 1n the world, being 10.27 miles long, or about one mile longer than St. Gothard, and two and a halfmileslonger than Mont Cenis. The height is 9 feet 10 inches and the breadth 5 feet 8 inches. This tunnel, which has taken so long in making, has cost very nearly a mil- ion sterling, but it appears to have been well spent; at least, the present gener- ation has no reason to grumble, for the saving from being able to do away with water raising appliances amounts to £15,000 a year. There is one further point, however, worth notice, for if we have the ad- vantage of our great-grandfathers in the matter of mechanical appliances they certainly w ere better off in the })r > of labor. The original contract or the tunnel made in 1752, was that it should be completed in thirty years and should cost £7 per yard run. ° For cleven years the work was done at this price, but the French revolution en- anced the cost of labor and mate to such an extent that for thirty years little progress was made, For ten years following much pro- gress was made, and then the work drooped for twenty years more until the water threatened to drown the mines altogether. Finally the tunnel was comple in 1878, the remaing part costing £21 a yard, or more than three imes as muchias the original contract rate. - They Had Met Before.
