THE ity council is o public and not a private trust, as so many of the present fncumbents have made it. This is well to bear in mind in view of the approach- ing election. SouTH OMAIIA is able to construct a viaduet over its railroad tracks, but Omaha can not afford to protect the life and Umb of its citizens with viaducts over dangerous crossings. MoRrnrisoN is right for once when he insists that the board of edu- cation shall not encumber the high school grounds with a new building, and that a proposition should be made to purchase anothersite in that vicinity. — Tne question which confronts the citizens of Omaha is whether the next council is to represent the taxpayers or whether its membors are to be soul and body the property of contractors and corporations that hold franchises in this city for street privileges? Mg, EW York Crry and Baltimore have booked over three million bushels of corn to be shipped abroad within the next ninoty days, and Philadelphia is looking on with jealous 05 over the supremacy of her sister cities in the ex- port trade. Tie Burlington is making prepara- tions to extend its system through the northwestern part of the state. Itis quite evident thercfore that it is not afraid of the state board of transportation—that bugaboo of which the Union Pacific pro- fosses to stand in mortal dread. THE fall weather in this section seems to have been blocked out especially favorable to building operations of all kinds. The claim that Nebraska's climate is unexcelled has been fully sup- ported. Builders and mechanics profit immeasurably by this state of things, o say nothing of the saving in fuel and the immunity from suffering enjoyed by the poor. IN A recent decision, the inter-state commerce commission recomended that the railroads should adopt a uniform classification of freight rates. A con- fecence for the purpose is proposed by the various freight associations through the country, and it is highly probable that a uniform classification will be ar- ranged. Such an arrangement will simplify many complications in the transportation question and would be benificent to both the railroads and the shippers. Tie annual reports o1 Major General Schofield and Adjutant General Drum are interosting mainly for calling atten- tion to the large amount of desertion from the army during the year. It is ovident that this evil is due to the character of the enlisted men. The remedy proposed by General Drum tolessen the tomptation to desert is to reduce the term of service from five to three years and to give the right to purchase a discharge. GOVERNOR SWINEFORD'S annual re- port of the resources and prospects of Alaska is sufficiently rose-coloved to tempt the ambitious fortune-hunter, The report puts the population of the territory at fifty thousand. Its chief re- sources are fisheries, timber and furs, and there are indications of rich ivon, coal, silver and gold deposits. Four gold mines, s0 the governor says, were but recently sold for a million and a half, and prospectors arve finding rich strikes right along. If one haif of goy- ernor Swineford’s story be true, Aluska is the new Eldorado of America. T course of the authorities in ex- cluding from the jail the many curious and morbidly sentimental people who want to see the perpstrator of last Sut- urday’s tragedy and express their sym- pathy is to be commended, There are always hundreds of people who have no sense of propriety in such matters, and they aro not entitled to any tolerance or encouragement. Upon no pretext should such people be permitted to gratify their morbid interest, which ©ould only be an snnoyauce to the un- fortunate object and would in nowise aid the cause of justice. IN FAVOR OF NEW STATES. [t will be gratifying to the people of the territories to learn that democratic sentiment regarding their admission to statohood is undergoing a change, and that there is favorable promise of ac' atthe coming session of congress for admitting at least Dakota and Washing- ton territories, It id reported from the national eapitol that democrats who do not want an extra session of congress arve talking in favor of admitting the northwestern territories at the coming session,and that such democrats are scor- ing Mr. Springer for the position he got them into by hisshare in the conspiracy for keeping Dakota outof the union. His plan was to admit Dakota as a whole, Washington, Montana and New Mexico, and although a number of democrats in the house did mot support this plan, Springer was in a position as the chair man of the committee on territories to prevent legislation with the assistance of those demoerats who yiclded to the political considerations at stake. Never was there anything more palpably par- tisan than the course pursued by the democrats in congress regarding the torritories entitled to admission, aud the fecling some of them who were in the conspiracy now manifest is a plain confession that political considerations controlled the ir conduct. The result of the election enables them to look at the matter with a de- gree of fairness, and it is not incred- ible that some of them should have a desire to atone for what they must now see was not only an injustice, but a grave mistake politically. It consti- tuted one of the counts in the indict- ment ngainst the democracy which un- quostionably had its share of influence on the popular mind. The least that the party representatives in congress can now do is to stop further obstr tion to the admission of the territories clearly entitled to statehood and ac- quiesce in the policy regarding them proposed by the rvepublicans. In that case they will pass without unnecessary delay the sonate bill for the admissivn of South Dakota, and before the next session is ended provision can be made for the admission of Washington, and perhaps Montana also. One democratic organ goes even s0 far as to urge that Avizona, Wyo- ming, Idaho and New Mexico should be admitted without further delay, saying that the matter has been treated from a political point of view too long, and that being a simple question of justice no other consideration should have any weight. If this' sort of conversion among the exponents of democratic opinion shall become general, the country may find that party endeavoring to outdo the republicans in ex- tending justice to the people of the ter- ritories. But-in any event, and re- gardless of the question of political ad- vantages to accrue to either party, the reported change in democratic senti- ment regarding the territories is grati- fying, and will be ospecially welcome intelligence to the people most imme- diately interested. AN IMPERTINENT QUESTION. Lixcory, Nov. 20.—To the Editor of Tne Bee: Now that you have done justics to the member from the First as to his ofMcial acts won't ik Bek, s the great anti-monopoly organ of this section, give its views as to the probable future of “‘boodle’ political methods in Nebraska, and oblige hundreds of ANTI-BOODLERS. This inquiry comes from Mr. George B. Coburn, late special agent of the United States land office under Com- missioner Sparks, and eyidently rofers to Congressman McShane. Tie BEE has no apology to make for setting Mr. McShane right on his Omaha postoffice record. Mr. McShane is out of the city and has been for more than a week. He did not solicit tne statement made by us, neither did any- body else for him. This paper is will- ing todo justice to every public man, whether he bea democrator republican, an honest and faithful officer or a boodler. Mr. Coburn wants THE BEE to give its views as to the probable future of boodle political methods in Nebrasku, and we simply point to the fact that boodle methods have failed to carry the state, if that is what My, Coburn wants to know. And now let us ask Mr. Coburn why he failed to materialize with the proofs of corruption and land frauds, of which heasserted he had an abundance against “the member from the First,” when he was requested to do so for THE B and was offered pay for his time and expenso 1n procuring them. Why did he not make good his charges bo- fore the boodle campaign commenced, and why did he fail to put Tiug BEE in possession of the facts? THE BEE stood firmly by Mr, Coburn through thick and thin, when he was in the service, It protested against his dismissal and denounced it as in the in- terest of 1and swindiers, It is certainly unbecoming in Me. Coburn to cast dirty flings at this paper and reflect upon its integrity becanse it has seen fit to tell the truth about the Omaha. postoftice bill and McShane's course in connection with it, TRUST LEGISLATION, 1t is promised that among the first measures that will be presented at the next session of the Nobrsska legislature will be an anti-trust act, and there ought to be no question as to the adop- tion of such a meousure, if properly drawn. From an outline of the main provisions of the proposed act it appenrs that the author has apprebeaded the right priociple of sueh a measure, which is to steike at the voot of this form of mounopolistic combina- tion by subjecting to proso- cution and loss of franchise any company or corpovation owing its oxistence to the state, which becomas part of a trust or other like combina. tion. Thus far Nebraska h 0t con - tributed largel, to the formation of these monopolies, though her people ave paying their share of the tributo which all of them exact, but it eannot b2 un timely to put on the statute books a law that will exclude any future attempt of these combinations, in whatever forn they may take, from an invasion of this state, or from uny direct intorfercuce with free competition in all depart- ments of trade in Nebraska, It is to be expected that most of t THE OMAHA DAILY state logislatures will give attention to this subject of trusts at the coming ses- sions, and it is highly probable that the result will boa pretty general systom of laws for the suppression of these com- binations. It is quite generally con ceded that they can be most effoctively dealt with by state legislation, if indeed that be not the only way of accom- plishing their destruction. It was the opinion of the chairman of the house committce on manufactures, which prosecuted an extended investigation of trusts, that there is no authority in congress to deal with the combinations without usurping rights shat belong to the states. His argument, in effect, was that or corporations holding franchises from the states can- not be controlled as to the use they may make of such franchises by a law of congress, so that if the states permit them to enter into combinations there is no authority in congress to prevent their that lurgely in congress, and that a great many members who are most desirous that tho trusts shall be suppressed, hesitated to approve the exercise of a questionable authority for that purpose. The fact that (a score or more anti-trust bills introduced at the last session of congress did not progress beyond the committees to which they referred was not due wholly to but in a companies doing so. There can be no doubt this view obtained were political considerations, mensure at least to a widely pre- vailing doubt of the authority of congress in the matter. The view that trusts are private affairs and are to be treated as such has had only a very limted acceptance, but the opinion that they are affairs to be regulated by the states, under the power to control fran- chises of their own granting, is widely held. Undoubtedly this very important sub- ject will receive serious cousideration both in congress and in the state legis- Iatures during their coming sessions, from which the country may obtain a clearer definition of the extent to which national and state authority may go in dealing with trusts, and as well some 1 legislation. There will be no al considerations interposing to prevent a full and free discussion of the question, but on the contrary both par- ties will be likely to vie with each other in the effort to respond to public senti- ment on this subject. One thing is ad- mitted, that whatever restriction there may be on the authority of congress re- mple power in 25 to destroy these combinations, and a gene, stem of anti-trust state laws would speedily bring about the de- sired result. practic politic gavding trusts, there 1s ¢ the THE CITY HALL LOCATION. A party who claims to live on the south side of town and signs himself “Jefferson Square,” has ventured to air his views on the city nall question through the Herald, and makes the nas- sertion that the location of the city hall on upper Farnam was brought about by crooked work through meree- nary means. If this man had not sneaked behind the sereen of an as- sumed name we should call him an un- mitigated liar. There was nothing crooked or under- handed about the selection of the cor- ner of Eighteenth and Farnam for a city hall site. The grounds were seeured by the city in exchange for whatever had to the title of the claim it may havi ever in the old court house. Ifit had it could only maintain itin a long-drawn suit leading to the supreme court. The county commissioners comprom- ised with the city council by an ex- change in which the city was given as much ground on the cornerof Eighteenth and Farnam as it had claimed on the the disputed court house ground. ‘When this compact was entered into, it was understood by all parties that the of Eighteenth and Farnam :served for a city hall build- ite was regarded equally as corner would be r Th ing. good us the corner two blocks below for and the use of for the public it was sidered ns morve desirable, becaus city hall opposite the court house would be most convenient for taxpayers, and for all parties who are compelled to consult both city and county records. At the time this compact was made between the, city and county nobody thought of Jefferson square for a city haltl, and nobody dared to charge crook- edness upon either the city or county officials. When the proposition to build the city hall on that location was submitted to the citizens of Omaha at the election held in November, 1885, it was ratified by a vote of over three thousand two hundred in favor,and only one hundred and fifty against the proposition. That was practically a unanimous endorse- ment. Why dido’t Mr. ‘‘Jefferson Square,” whoever. he may be, come to the front then and make his charges of fraud, collusion or crookedness? What has happened since that time to justify any man in making such a charge? Since 1885, more than a million and a haif has been expended in mag- nificent buildings and improvements between Fifteenth and Kighteenth streets on the strength of the city-hall fair values who city ofticers, and reasonable and have location. Is it to unsettle the men courage struct salk damage had the and enterprise to con- these -costly blocks for the of satisfying the mercenaries who nt to put the city hall on wheels tor ulative ends? Why should people who have staked all they have and all they can borrow in constructing build- iugs that would be a credit to any city enter into & spe e compelled to fight over the vcity hall location at the ballot box. Why should the council be emcouraged in continuing the poliey of bad faith to the people who have fixed the location and voted houds for a building which should have been completed by this time? ———— FRATERNAL FEELINGS. The courtesies which were recently interchanged between the business men of Omaha and the leading citizens of Superior, Fremont aud other towas old court-house grounds, corner of Sixteenth and Farnam, which is now covered by Mr. Paxton’s magnificent block.

The growth of tHe commercial im- portance of Omalfa, the rapid extension of the jobbing trade, the increased fucilities of this city as a cattle and grain market have brought buyer and seller closer together, The feeling is growing apace that these relations should be strengthened. Superior and Norfolk have extended the right band of fellowship to Omaha. They have set the example to their sister cities, To our business men these tokens of friend- ship ave gratifying. It encournges them to renew their efforts in making friends and business connections with the interior. It is, moreover,na testi- mony that the state takes pride in the growth of the metropolis. The time has come when our people may well ex- claim, “One for all, and all for one.” —_— I issaid that Senator Allison intends to push the senate tavift bill to an early passage, and that the great majovity of the republican senators are favorable to this course. The New England senators are represented to be especially desirous that this should be done, while it i thought the bill will receive the sup- port of several democratie senators who ave known to have objections to the house tariff measure, The suggestion that no action should be taken until the new administration comes in is not well roceived of the republican senators, who argue that the assurance given the country in advance of the election should be carried out. If there were any question regarding General Harrison’s views of the senate bill it would perhaps be a good reason for postponing action, but 1t is not doubted that the measure has his ap- proval. But is there any necessity for pressing this bill to passage in the sen- ate when th s not the least likeli- hood of its acceptance by the house, and very little that the two branches of the present conge \ be brought to agreement on any measure of tariff re- on? It would simply venew the controversy with the possible effect of again unsettling business confidence, and it would scem tobe wiser to rele- gate the matter to the noxt congress, which as now appears witl Dbe republi- can in both branches, The business of the country will prefer waiting than to pass Yhrough another period of tariff discussion.

The Southern Pacific replies to these com- plaints that their cars which come from California to Portland loaded, would go back empty if they did not carry wheat, and that what Portland Joses in one way she gains in another. This appears to be true. Portland must content herself with being the capitol of a state with a great tuture before it, and mustre- linquish the idea of a great foreign commerce which sprang up of late years, and which can never be realized. THE people of Niobrara, Neb., are looking forward to railroad connection with Omaha, and their wishes are likely to be gratified. The Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley railroad is pushing its way in that direction. The road has been built beyond Creigh- ton, and within a few months it will more than likely extend to Niobrara, a distance of less than fifty miles, This will bring Omaha and that town 1n di- rect communication, Niobrara is on the boundary line of Dakota, and stands at the entrance of the rich agricultural districts of that territory. With Yank- ton it will dispute for control of the trade of that section. There are natural advantages and conditions to make Ni- obrara an important gateway for the shipment of cattle, wheat and corn to our market, and Omaha should encour- age the effort.

The regular meoting of the board of educa tion took place Monday night. ‘Tho president called tho meeting to order at S o'clock, Messrs. Goodman, Kelley and McConnell being absent. John Rush, treasurer of the board, advised that Omaha alley paving bonds, amounting to $10,500, of £500 cach, dated Augast 1, 1888, bearing interest at 6 per cent per annum, bo purchased, the total amount being $10,651.25. The recommendation was adopted, and a warrant was ordered issued for the amount, payable out of the sinking fund The ladics of Walnut Hill Presbyterian chureh were granted tho use of Felton ball for November 23, to bo used fora bazaar. Superintendent James reported the open- ing of nincteen night schools, and announced that an invitation had been tendered to the board through him to attend the flower slow at the cxposition building. The com- mittee on buildings and proporty made one or two re| ts recommending the payment of certain_small bills in connection with the new schools, which were referred to tho committee ou claims. Mr. Coburn recommended that Miss Nagl be appointed principal of (ibson school. She was doclared duly elected. The committee on steam heating and ven- tilation recommended certain minor altera tions in the urinals and closets of Walnut 1ill school, and improvements in the heat- ing of Park schools, both suggestions receiv- ing tho approbation of the board. A recom- mendation to buy a site near tne fort for school purposes, which shall cost §2,500, was also concurrea in. Dr. J. J. Saville next moved a reconsidera- tion of the action of the board at its lust meeting respecting the lssuing of school bonds, more especially that portion respect- 1ng tho appropriations to be devoted to build- ing on the High school grounds and improv. ing the High school. Tho motion provailed. Dr. Saville next moved that the petition to the people to vote the school bonds be so changed that instead of their being called upon to vote money to build a graded school on the high school grounds they should vote £65,000, which amount should be used in adding'an addition to the high school and im- proving the grounds. This led to a very heated discussion, and, as far as opinions prevailed, they seemed 10 be in favor of Dr. Saville's motion. Mr. Morrison objected to the motion of the former gontleman, fearing that any altera- tion in the proposition would defeat the whole wmeasure. He would, however, support it pro- viding a separate question wore made out of it and both weresubmitted to the people. He feared that if this guestion were sub- mitted, that not alone would the high school improvements be defeated, but they should have no money to build and improve the graded schools. : Mr. Clark favored an addition to the high school, and strongly objected to any de- tached building or graded school house being on the hill. He would improve the high 1001, and 1f $65,000 were not enough to do it he woula use more. Dr. Savllle's motion was then adopted Mr. Morrison then introduced the follow ing resolution: That the proposition of £50,000 to be expended in a building for the grades on hixih scliool grounds be amondod 50 that the building can be located upon a site yet to be determined upon in the vicimty of the High school grounds, and that a proposi tion be included for 820,000 for llm‘ruruhume of & suitable site 1 that vicinity and that we strike out the $20,000 proposed for retaining walls and sidewalks about the High school and other grounds. A Mr. Coburn objected to the last resolution the grounds that it would be unwise to in- easo the amount of the 'proposition as it intended to be submitted. o was_ originally Teople had aircady made up thelr minds on the 400,000 and it would be unwise to in- crease it. 4 Things got cousiderably mixed at this juncture. and nobody seemed to know what they were doing. Mr. Coburn asked the chair, **Where do we stand 1" The chair didn’t_know. Attorney Connell veas next consulted, and asserted that the whole business relating to she submitting proposition was out of order and illegal, Mr. “Wehror moved to adjourn us the bost way out of the difficulty. Others thought it advisable to consider the quostion at a future date. Mr. Coburn moved that all procecd ings taken to-night 80 far us concerns the Proposition to submit be recinded. The motion prevailed amidst confusion, and the board proceeded the regular order of business. The committee on claims recommended the paymont of the bill of Woodman & Andrews for 04177 for plumbing in the Waluut Hill school be paid. It was 8o ordered. 5 A resolution effecting the scwerago of Park and Mason schools was adopted. After the board had resolved to have the two-room frame building removed from Luke street to asite to bo seleoted near the Fort, aud re ceive bids for the removal of the same; and, also, the removal of a_building from Lake to Latham, it adjourned until Weduesday next e Fined For Contempt Sevoral weeks azo Anna Johnson obtained a divorce from her husband, Audrew John son, on the ground of cruelty. The decree was granted with 850 attorney’s fees and $20 per month alimony, by Judge Groff. Several days ago Johuson ignored the order of the court, and in_addition repaired to whero his divorced wife resided and ejected her {rom the house. Yesterday he was arraigned for contempt of court and was mulcted in the sum of 8100, He refused to countenance the mandate concerning the alimony, and also re fused to pay the fine imposed for ntempt. He was consequently ordered committed until it was paid. No Quoram. The grain committes failed to have a quorum at their called meeting at the board of trade offices yesterday.
