While specu- " lation in real estate is not as active as it was in 1887, the records show a very large number of transfers and the number of new buildings under way affords an agreeable surprise to conservative people who early in the year predicted a lull in the matter of private improvements. —_— MERCIANTS who stocked up heavily with bandana handkerchiefs ave disap- pointed in the investment.

Half of the paving contracts given out last year still remain unfin- ished, and people are compelled to sub- mit to torn-up sidewalks and blockaded Btreets. It seems to us that unless con- tractors ean justify their failure to come . Yotime by reason of delays on the part of the engineers, their contracts should be cancelled and re-let by the board of public work ‘W are promised aa investigation in our state university which will rival the recent investigation at the lowa state university, The examiunation will no doubt disclose a condition of petty jeal- ousies, and cheap polities similar to the state of affairs existing at the Towa in- stitution. It is unfortunate that the . usefulness of our state university should be impaired by the existence of bicker- ing ana discord among the faculty. It is a blight' on the reputation which a state university ought to “establish and maintain, But such a state of affuirs is not new. Every chancellor at the university has been the head center of cabals and cliques. The cause of this can be traced toits fountain head. The university has been made the battle ground of po- litical factions and religious sects, where favorites were rewarded and enemies punisbed, There is but one remedy to lift the state university to its true level. It must be purged Irom political influences and sectarian con- trol. Let the board of regents spply the knife to the root of the evil. Blunders of the “Q" Manager. Tt is the boast of Chauncey M. Depew that no general strike has occurred on the New York Central railvond since he has been at its head. The amicable 1 lations that have for years prevailed between the great Vanderbilt road and its army of cmployes 1s chiefly, if not wholty, due to the broad- minded course and conciliatory pol- icy pursued by its managers. As a natural result of this harmony be- tween the owners and managers of the York Central and the railrond mon in its employ, the service of the road has buen efficient in all de ments and its patronage has st grown. In striking contrast to the New York Central the Burlington system has been dominated by a general manager who lacks all the essential qualities that go to make up a sagacious, prudent and r executive, It isa matter of that the conflict between Brotherhood of Locomotive engincers and the Burlington road might have been arvested but for Gen- eral Manager Stone’s imperious dis- position to repel all attempts to arrive i\t an amicable settlement of differences. The contemptuous, insolent and insult- ing treatment of the engineers who ap- proached Mr. Stone litevally forced the men. as & matter of self respect, to 1 sort to the only weapon which organ- jzed labor can wicld when driven to the wall by arrogant capital. A brainy man like Depew at the head of the road would have treated the engincers courteously and by w conciliatory discussion of their grievances averted a contest certain to be disa trous to the road, damaging to its pat- rons, and eostly to the Mr. Stone wanted a test of .strength, -re sources 1d endurance. Hence he spurned all efforts at compromise and demands for concession. His policy has cost the owners of the road over five millions of dollars in deereased earnings and dam- e to rolling stock by reason of acei- dents, chicefly brought about by un- killed and intemperate men employed since the stri While this enormous New engincers, . loss has len upon the stockholders, the = publ have also suffered by this warfave. DBut whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. Having resumed traflic after a pro- tracted struggle, the manager of the Burlington road reopens the old sove by launching out upon a vindictive campaign of revenge and retaliation. A story about a dynanite conspir trumped up by Pinkerton detec- tiv is followed by arrests of ofil of the brotherhood - of enginoers on a charge of issuing sedi- tious cireulars advising the chemicals during the strike to d the compa locomotives. This, anything, is a move stupid blunder than Mr. Stone’s refusal to arbitrate while the Burlington. system was paralyzed by the strike, . under pretens that “‘there was nothing to arbitrate.” ‘What is the Burlington road to gain by these prosecutions? No rational person believes. that members of the Brother- hood of Locomotive Engineers would engage in dynamite plots. But il any man, or set of men, can be con- victed on evidence of somebody besides detectives of questionable chavacter they will receive no sympathy from any quarter. The attempt to embroil the whole brotherhood of engineers in a dynamite conspiracy by coupling some of its officers with upholding the prac- tice of “killing” engines, which pre- vails in nearly all° engineer and five- men strikes, is stupid. Even if the proofs are overwhelming, the prosecutions instituted by the Bur- lington managers have arrayed notonly every individual meiber of the brother- hood of engincers against them, but will arouse intense and bitter resent- ment among all elements of organized labor. Such hostility is not likely to restore to the road its lost prestige. On the contrary itis sure to provoke an un- friendly feeling among all classes of people along its lines. Nothing but the most reckless disregard of the material interests of a cor- poration could prompt its managers to such a foolhardy course, in which there is everything to lose and nothing to gain. Lven the late H. M. Hoxie, who had a most bilious temper, did not dare venture on arrests and conspiracy prosecutions, after the great Missouri Pacific strike, in which more lawless- ness was committed in three days than there has been .on the Burlington in five months. The “Awmerican” Party. Perhaps not more than ten voters in every ten thousand are aware of the fact that there is an organization call- ng itself the American party, and very likely not more than half of those who know of the existence of this misnamed organization have any idea of its ob- jects. To the older class of vote whose recollection of political parties goes back thirty-five years, the name of the present organization will naturally recall the old know-nothing party and imply another effort to introduce in oue polities the . essentially un-American principles of that memorabice but short- lived orgamwzation. . The so-called American party of to-day is not exactly a reproduction of the know-nothing party, though it has some of the principles of the latter. Tt differs chiofly “in these respects, that it does not exelude from its ranks citizens of foreign birth who are iu sympathy with its poliey, and it does not make a religion a prinvipal object of its attack. Its present battle cry is to preserve America for Americans, and by way of doing this it proposes the re- striction of immigration, a discrimina- tion between those immigiants ave de- sirable and those that are objectionable, and more careful limitations upon the granting of the rights of citizenship. It is not & matter of great moment when, where or how - this party or nated, Some months ago a fow men, having no political standing or party affiliation, got together in Phil delphia and formulated o set of princi- plos for the new party, and recently these men, with perhaps ® a. few others;” have held what they. were sed to call a national conveation she nomination of candidates for the s s presidency.. They did not make any nominations, but adopted a resolution inviting Mayar Hewitt of Now York, to become their tandidate for president. Mr. Hewitt has been suspected of hav- ing an ambition to be president, but this bait was not to his liking. Asa compliment to his zeal in protéeting the American flag from contamination by undue association with any other flag he may have appreciated the recognition of his superior ¢laims to the considera- tion of the Amerioan party, but he i not in the presidential business this year, either on his own account, or, us it appeurs, that of anybody eise. The new party, however, will doubtless have a candidate, and it may be that herve and there he will receive a fow votes. This movement deserves nothing bet- ter than ridicule, but there is just enough of seriousness in its character to entitle it to a little tl oughtful consider- ation, It really represents a sentiment much more extended than would be in- ferred from the numerical strength, so far as developed, of the new party. is the sentiment against immig which was recently voiced ‘in the tysburg address of George William Curtis, which is boing persistently drummed - into . the public ear by certain uninfluential newspa- persand by magazine writers, and which it is to be apprehended may acquire ac ceptance among those who will not give the matter intelligent and careful con- sideration. We have so frequently dis- cussed this fmmigration question that we need not repeat the arguments against any policy of restriction beyond that already adopted. Our laws, if properly enforced, will keep out pau- pers, eriminals, the insane, and persons under contract to labor, and further than this restriction should not go. It is probably a fact that the laws are not enforced, but that is a fault to be rem- cdicd by the people electing an ex ccutive who . will -see that the laws enforeed, and 1 congress providing adequate ma- hinery for their enforcement. It is a wholly false and untenable assumption that this country has reached the con- dition when afford to shut out immigration, except of the objectionuble kind already excluded by law. We do not apprehend that the new party, which, despite its title, is at war with principles purely American which have stood the test of a century, with the grandest results to the republic, i likely to make much headway, but it is always the safe course to warn the people against insidious appeals to selfishness and prejudice. re Contending Street Railways. Whatever may come of the mutual reement for joint tracks between the Motor line and the Cable Tramway ‘com- pany, the practice of laying tracks di connected from any main line and lex ing them for months and years to obstruct public thovoughfares should be prohibited by ordinance. If a street vailway company means business it should never be permitted to tear up and obstruct streets with tracks unless they are a part of a continuous line from a fixed terminus. The practice of laying down half n dozen rails at a crossing inovder to hold the street againsta rival line should not. be tolerated. The right of crossing the tracks of a rival line is es- tablished by law. The company that occupies and operates a line of street rajlway on a given thoroughfare fivst is entitled to priorvity, and if the street is too narrow to allow more than one set of tracks, the company that oe- cupies the street very properly holds the ground as against another, unless Ly mutual consent both use one set of tracks. The council should, by all means, de- fine by ordinance the width of streets thav will justify the laying down of more than a single track for street railway: All the streets in the original town site which are one hundred feet wide, will aecommodate four tracks withoutserious inconvenience to the public, but be- vond the original eity limits most of the streets laid out vary from thirty tosixty feet in width. These streets are not wide enough for two double tracks and aroadway between tracks and curbs. The condition. of Twentieth, between Cass and Cuming streets, affords a striking example of this state of facts and should impel the council to estab- lish once and for all time the width of street on which single street railway tracks only will be permitted and the width required for two or four tracks. ‘When this has been done and the lay- ing down of rust streaks has been pro- hibited, the warfare between rival lines will simmer down to a question of means to build and operate lines. —_—— Tie scope of the Illinois conspiracy law has just been significantly stated by Judge Hawes of Chicago. The attempt of the claim agent of the Chicago city railway to bribe a juryman was exposed, and the agent was prosecuted, couvicted and sentenced to six month’s imprison- ment. In rendering his decision the judge recommended that the grand jury consider the question as to whether the president of the railway company and its attorney had abetted the effort to bribe, and stated that in order to find them guilty it was not necessary to show any positive or affirmative .act.

Yesterday's Proceedings in the Dis- trict Court. The curtain has fallen on this term’s crim- inal business in the district court. The last of the criminals have heard their sentence and are now no longer wondering what clem- ency the delay and investigation on the part of his honor Judge Groff will bring forth. The men who were brought before the Judge yesterday were the same ones who pleaded guilty or were convicted at this term’s crim- inal business but whose sentence was sus- pended until the court could investigate their cases and sce what, if any, clemency they deserved. George Corcoran pleaded guilty to horse stealing. He is 67 years old and for some time before his arrost had been taking care of Dr. Tilton's oftice and horses. His conduct became such that the doctor considered him partially insane, or at least not competent to longer perform his dutics, und ‘dischirged him on Saturday night. rning he went to the doctor's officepapd seeing the horse tied in front of it, got in'the buggy and started for the west.

The new Union Pacific bridge was completed under the supervision of Mr. G. F. Morrison, of Chicago, the senior member of the firm of Morrson & Corthall, engineors, At Union Pacific headquarters it is stated that Morvison had entire control of the work aud was sent here to superintend the work by the government, the president. appointing hun. The Union Pacific footed all the bills, At the eonclusion of the work last fall Morrison caused one of the piers to be removed but left its twin standing. The one removed was taken down to a point below low water mark, Whit Morrison’s object was in le ing the old pier stand is not definitely known, but the assertion is made that he thought the ice would carry it out and the expense’ of taking 1t down would thus be avoided. As Morrison was an ex-officio government oMeial the management of the Union Pacific have not deemed it to their interest to tuke ny measures concerning the pier, but on the contrary, are inclined to assume that the task properly belonged to him. While the company assumed the caused by the wreck of the General Terry, and allowed the claims for loss of property belonging to the passengers on _the steam the matter of settling for the damage done the boat is still pending, The boat is still lying where she sunk, moored to the bank, and is rapidly going to pie The Union Pacific provide a watchman, The machiner, could be saved even now were proper steph taken, but should the railroad company make tempt to reclaim any of it, it would be ered us an adwission that they were to blame for the disaster, and in consequence the steamer will, unless measures are - taken s00n by the owners, go to pieces. The Bismarck committee will probably visit Omaha before making investigations clsewhere. They will visit the en- gineers' department of the Union Pacific;and the information required will not be forthcoming because forsooth they know comparatively nothing of the matter, No plans will be found, an nothing relating to contracts for the new bridge. They will be requested to see Mr. Morrison at Chicago. By going down stairs into the general manager’s office they will iearn that the Union Pacific footed the bills for the work,but that Morrison bad entire and absolute control. Then they will see Morri- son and he will doubtless explain w] took down one pier and left the other stand- ing. In connection with this matter it may not be out of order to state that the afdaavit of the captain of the sunken ‘steamer made for the information of the government board of survey, is at Union Pacific headquarters the board having referred it there for the information of the ofticials.

The movements of society people, balls, par- ties, visits, eteq, will be chronicled as far as space will permit, and this will be done without increasing the subscrip- tion price of the Kicker, which is $2 per year in advance, We hope to receive the i of the ladies in this en- torpr When anything occurs lot them send us an outline of it, say as fol- S0 m Wednesday evening lust Mrs. Chuck A.

The Bullwhacker and others are charging us with procuring our ads. by threats and intimidation. It is a monstrous lie. Business men ad- vertise with us because they know that we are reaching out after a cir- oulation . of 100,000 copies,” and that we have already booked 134 names towards it. We drop into a business house in a business way, ox plain the advantages of advertising in a paper like the Kicker, and seldom go away empty handed. While it may huve happened that non-advertisers, like old Cobb, the grocer Beat Smith, the druggist, have had their records published and been shown up for what they were, it was only a coine dence, Let the jackals howl!
