J, CONNELL offers some val- uable sufgestions with reference to an amendment to the election law which should provide for the counting of bal- lots every three hours. With such a proceedure, the work of the judges and clerks of election would be simplified, and accurate returns could be made within twelve hours of a state election. - — THE city attorney has given the opin- fon that the Wirt street property own- ers will have to pay thirty-five cents per yard for grading because they signed a petition. But why should thirty-five eents per yard bs paid by them when the sub-contractor is doing the work for fifteen cents per yard. Don’t this look as if the taxpayers’in- terests were disregarded for the bemefit of contractors? e——— THEe school board is acting as if money was to be picked upon tho streets of Gmaha like chun':s of gold in Eldo- rado. At every meeting somehody’s salary 18 increased, mew janitors are added, telephones are ordered and all sorts of extravagances are indulged in. Suppose for a moment that the twohun- dred and forty thousand dollars & year from licenses should be eut off, what would the board do then? THE NEXT APPORTIONMENT. The Fifty-first congress, which will begin its life on the 4th of March, 1889, and expire on the 4th of March, 1801, will have among its most import- ant duties the new apportionment of congressional tepresentation, based on the natinnal census of 1890, The pres- ent house of representatives consista of three hundred and twonty-five mem- bers, being one to every one hundred and fifty-one thousand nine hundred and twelve of the population according to the census of 1880, which in round numbers was fifty millions. The pres- ent apportionment therefore givesabout six and a half members of the house to each million of the population at the time the apportionment was made. Esti- mating on the rate of increase in the past, the census of 1890 will show a pop- ulation of not loss than sixty-five mil- lions, and it is very likely to exceed that numbe The membership of the present house of represontatives is very generally re- gurded as sufficiently numerous, and in the opinion of many it would be wise to reduce the membership. Undoubtedly if there fower representatives there would be less idle and impractica- ble legislation proposed, with the con- sideration of which the time of the house is wasted, and needed legisla- tion would have a better chance of recciving prompt and ade- quate attention. In order not to in- crease the membership of the house 1t would be necessary to make the ratio of representation, with a population of 8i ve millions, two hundr sand, but as so large an increase would very likely be vigorously opposed by a number of the states the probability is that the new apportionment will fix the ratio of representation ataboutone hun- dred and eighty thousand. This would make the membership of the house in the Fifty-second congress three hundred and sixty-two, an increase of thirty- seven over the present membership of that body. But the most interesting matter to be cousidered, at least from a po- litical point of view, is the ef- fect which the new appor- ment is likely to have in the distribu- tion of representation. At the as- sumed ratio every western state will have additional members in the Fifiy- second congress. Nebraska, for exam- ple will probably double its represent- ation, Towa will gain at least one mem- ber, Minnesota will gain two, Illinois three, Kansas two, California and Colo- rado two each, and Oregon and Michi- gan and Wisconsin one cach. To these must be added four from Dakota, grant- ing that two states are made of that ter- ritory, and probably one each from Washington and Montana, making a total- of twenty-four votes to be gained by the west in the congress mnext to we elected. The present rep- resentation of the states above named is seventy-four, which will be increased by the gains indicated to ninety-eight, a very material strength- ening of the influence and power of this section in the national legislatuve. Of the other states, Ohio and Pennsylvania would each gain one representative under the assumed ratio, as 0 would Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisi- ana, Mississippi, Misgouri, North Caro- lina, Teunessece and West Virginia, while Texas would make a gain of two. Fifteen states, including New York and Indiana, would probably retain their present number of representatives. It will be seen, therefore, that the next congressional apportionment1s a matter of especial interest to the west, which will gain in political power more largely by it than any other section, and with the additional representation to be gained from the admission of new states will furnish two-thirds of the probable increased membership of the Fifty-second congress. By tho dawn of the twentieth century the west will come very ncar to dominating, if it shall not quite control, national legislation, and it is already conceded that its vote will decide future presidential contests. wore REVISE THE ESTIMATES. It is time that the taxpayers of Omaha puid a little attention to the finandial management of the board of education, Just now it is particularly desirable when the board has voted to call upon our taxpayers for four hundred thous- and dollars in bonds for school build- ings and school sites. Of this amount the hoard proposes to expenda three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in new buildings and repairs, thirty thous- and dollars in sites for new schools, and twenty thousand dollars in retaining walls: and imp rovement in grounds, We do not believe that the taxpayers of Omaha will be satistied with the itomsof this estimate,which proposes the erection of two forty-five thousand dollar school houses, another costing thirty: four thousand dollars and five on which tweuty-seven thousand dollars each are to be expended. Why such alarge sum should b spent on the ward schools on Paul and Hickory streets requires explanatiol Just now building i3 cheaper in Omaha than ever before. Brick can be had for seven dollars per thousand, lumber is much more reasonable than it has been, other materials and labor are down in proportion. For thirty thou- sand dollars Omaha ought to be able to build school houses large enough to meet every requirement of the present. With the increase of population more school houses can be called for. If only thirty thousand dollars each were ex- pended on the Paul and Hickory street sohools, thirty thousand dollars would be saved on the estimate of the board. With this sum another building can be built when it is needed. The decision to erect a central school building on the high school grounds, to cost sixty-five thousand dollars, will not be endorsed by the citizens of Omaha, and if insisted upon will defeat the bond proposition. The high school campus is the only breathing spot in which the public ocsun share in that section of the eity where it lies, It is at once & school yard and a public park. Thebuilding was crected in such a location as to derive much of its archi- tectural effect from the surrounding square. To add another strudture would atonce ruin the beauty of the campus and detract greatly from the high school ftself. TI! it is not considered wise to in- crease the size of the present high school building, a new site should be purchased north or south and west of the present. Tho boaed of education could well afford to pay twenty thousand or twenty-five thousand dollars for the ground on which to erect another gram- mar or high school building. But they cannot afford to ruin the existing high school grounds by filling them up with cheap school annexes. There has been too much fast and loose financiering in the school board. The members of the board of education * seem to haye beon conducting them- selves as if the license goose which lays tho golden egg was certain to live for- ov They have not weighed the con- sequences of the submission of « prohib- itory@mendment and its possible carry- ing. With $250,000 a year added to the burdens of Omahn taxpayers, such a royal style of expenditure as is now the rule in our schools would come to a quick halt, Chicago supports its schools Iargely from the revenue from reserved city property. Texas has an imperial domain of tand, which she can use for such purposes. But Omaha is practi- cally dependent upon the revenues from fines and licenses, which would bo de- creased to little or nothing if the pres- ent law was repealed or submission car- ried, and a constitutional amendment should load us down with the evils of an impracticable prohibition. The board of education will do well to practice a wiser economy than they have been doing. Too much money has been spent ou architects. Other cities select suitable plans and build other school houses on the same models at a saving in the fees of from one thou- sand five hundred to two thousand dol- lars a building. Othor cities look to the future and purchase ample sites in advance of actual demands, saving thereby thousands of dollars in the rise of real estate. Other cities which have to look to a constituency of scrutinizing taxpayers are careful to keep expendi- tures within the revenues or when call- ing for increased funds to show that the best economy demands the increased taxation. The board of education owes it to it- self and the city to recall its action and revise its estimates, If they do not we shall feel it our duty to ask the people to defeat the bond propdsition which they have drafted. Up to the present time the taxpayers of Omaha have cheerfully voted new burdens whenever the public schools were coricerned. But the time has come when they demand a change in methods and will entorce their demands at the polls. —_— e CANADIANS TALK SECESSION. The Canadian Pacific railway is cer- tainly making the most of its opportu- aities and is determined to grab every- thing in sight, utterly regardless of the very se~ious consequences that may re- sult from its cupidity. Not content with holding the dominion government to its impossible guaranty against com- peting lines, this railroad has obtained from the English government a con- tract for mail service between Victoria, the English metropolis on Vancouver's Island, on the Puget Sound side, and Yokohama. Hong Kong and Shanghai. The subsidy amounts to $300,000 monthly, three-fourth of which sum comes from England, and the remain- der from Ottawa. There is a very strong feeling in Canada generally that the Canadian Pacific mantle hides a gang of Englishmen who are deter- mined to work Canada for all the mouney there is in it. This feeling is intensified by the evident proof that this gang has such strong backing among some of the members of the Salisbury cabinet that it is practically. omnipotent, and has mora real power than the dominion government at Ot- tawa. It can force any measure it likes upon the Canadian people, and the consequence is that the Canadians are breathing fire and flames. The happy balance betwcen - state and federal authority in the United States affords a vent for the in- dignation which the actions of the Union and Central Pacific railroads have excited among ourselves. But in Canada there is no such outlet, and the consequence may be that the rage felt at being governed by a secret olig- archy will show itself very shortly in secession. There is as much bad feel- ing in Toronto about the Canadian Pa- cific as there is in Manitoba. for the citizens of the former place are of a type to whom the idea of being gov- erned upon money making principles is pavsicularly odious, and they have begun to see what has been plain. for a long time, that the Canadian Pacific is the real governing body, and its actions have but one purpose-—to make money. They feel that they are bought and sold like 8o much cattle, and they will rebel as sure as fate Tukr council should go slow in chang- ing the ordinance fixing the weight of a loaf of bread less than sixteen ounces. If the price of flour has gone up, let the price and not the weight of a loaf of bread be changed. Competition be- tween the bakers will fix the price of a loaf and it will fluctuate as the cost of flour varies. Fixing the standard loaf twelve ounces is arbitrary and does an injustice to the consumer I1 is announced that the Sioux com i ission, now engaged in preparing its report on the failuro to secure tho as- sent of the Imlhu.u-wl.ho act for open- ing the Sioux reservation, will urge the necessity of keeping reservations upon which Indians still maintain tribal relations, free from the white men, The experience of the commis- sioners led to the conelusion, which has long been held by those familiar with Indian affaivs, that squaw men have been the curse of every Indian tribe, responsible for much of the demor- slization among the Indians, and for most of the outrages that have been committed since these white des- peradocs and adventurers have joined influcnce with them, It is the squaw men, according to the commisaion, who ave largely responsible for the present awltude of the Sioux toward the treaty. The commission will also recommend that the concessions demanded by the Indi; be granted and the reserva- tempt to gain their consent. This sug- gestion will doubtless meet a vigorous opposition from the sentimental phi- lmuhmpim who make & hobby of guarding tl ed man’s welfare, what- ever the p le consequences to the welfare of but it will commend itself to the al and common sense judgment of the country, and it is be- lieved such a course will be authorized by congress. THERE is &y (unanimous sentiment in Omaha that the charter should be =0 amended as to give the city the right of eminent domain for the purpose of acquiring land for park and boulevard purphses. The members of the legisla- ture for Douglas county have pleiged themselves to secure the needed revisions at an early day. That point seems pretty well settled. Our lawmakers thould thoroughly in- form themselves of the needsof our people in the matter of equitable assess- ing. and in reforms of the unsatisfac- tory system of justices of the peace.
