Tuere are indieations that a large number of workingmen’s cottages wilt be built in the suburbs of Omaha this geason. The suburban train service on three of our roads will be a boon to thou- sands of our citizens of humble means. Ir the gentlemen who are construct- ing a motor line would like the exclu- sive use of the streets, doubtless the good people of the city would allow themselves to be crowded into the alleys, IN the telegraph columus, this morn- ing,is printed a cabinet slate, which comes by way of Montana, It is in all probability correct, and agrees with ad- vices from Tie Bre's Washington cor- respondent, COLORADO prides herself that in the twenty years between 1867 and 1887 but three thousand divorces were g -anted Gn that state. But Colorade would blush to give an enumeratiun of the number of neck tie sociables for the same period. It is proposed to reform the signal service by providing thatone major and six eaptains shall take the place of the fourteen second licutenants now in the Be e. Then we shall see if the fickle weather will carry on 1ts sauey pranks with impunity in the face of one major and six captains.

It is a vicious form of cruelty to animals, and if attempted should be suppressed by the police au- thorities.

While it cannot be said that the pres- entyearopened with a wholly promising outlook for a repetition of the satisfac- open- tory experionce of the two preceding ye the surface indications clearly for a very prosperous yea An anomaly in the situation is the fact that money has been so casy auring the past sixty days and collec- tions 50 poor and failures so numerous. This hus been a feature noticeable atall commercial centers in the west during the same period. Bank clearings have shown a decided increase, yet trade has not béen active. Mouney has been plen- tiful and collections poor. The enigma can only be solved on the hypothesis that the increase and abundanc money are due to the natural g of wealth by the communities making returns. rdoubtedly this city has grown much richer during the past year, a fact which would scom to be demonstrated by the promptness with which municipal and county taxes are paid, as is evidenced by the re- ceipts at the treasuver’s office. When assessments of which but one-tenth is due ave being pmd in full in many cases and deposits are increasing at the banks, at a time when the trade depres sion has been unusual, nothing could more clearly de wte the solid po- ion of Omaha. he conclusion deducible from these facts, 1s, that much more than an ordinary stagnation of the wheels of trade is necessary to cause an actual stringency with merchants here, As our columns have shown, all clusses of our business men, who are in a po- sition to inteliigently judge the situa- tion, express confidence in the outlook for 1889. There is no promise of a boom of any kind, and for this there should be no regret, as hooms mean in- flation and subsequent rveaction, but all agree in the view that there will be a prosperous and permancnt advance. Money is coming to Omaha to a liberal extentforinvestment in reaity,one of the national banks having upwards of three hundred thousand dollars belonging to castern parties who are waiting oppor- tunities to buy on favoraple terms, while in every line of trade inquiry shows that capital isgravitating to this city in search of profitable investment. In view of these facts and conditions, the outlook for Omaha certainly ap- pears most gratifying and encouraging, and there seems to be no reason what- ever for a doubt that the experience of the prescat year will he satisfactory to all local business interests. Ttiswell to remember, however, that the most fav- orable promises may fail or fall short uunless the eflort is made to realize them, and the business men of Omaha cannot safely allow any abatement of cnergy and enterprise. ART IN UTILITY. The interesting paper on “The incon- sistencies of Modern Decorative Art,” read before the Art Association of our 'ity presents the subject of art ina light not often considered. In a gen- eral way, art is looked upon asaluxur tobe enjoyed only by the rich. It i not associated as it should be with the objects of common use, with one’s dress, with one’s house, with one’s furniture, carpets, wall paper and even with the pots and paws, the cups and saucers of the pantry. With too many people a sharp line is drawn between utility and art. They fail to grasp the fact that any familiar article may combine usefulness with beauty. The tendeney is to subordinate every thing to utility. The beautiful is lost sight of and the sense of the aesthetic is blunted. This is manifestly n false conception. That articie possesses the highest utility which not alone is the most serviceable for the purposes intena- ed but combiues beauty of workmanship ordesign. It is a mistake, therefore, to seat art among the clouds and to look upon it as something simply to be ad- mived. Artshould be brought down to the daily life and should be associated with the articles of every day use. The Greeks thovouglrly understood this prin- ciple and engrafted the beautiful into the commonest utensils of their house- hold as well as in their statues, their pietures and their temples, It is the which should be culti- vated among our people. They should be taught what is art. They should learn to appreciate what is beautiful and to be able to discriminate the true from the false, the approprinte from the inconsistont. The love of art implies comfort, huppiness and hymanit; Art itself typilies ci ation in its highest form and leads us oue stop ncarer to the divine, A VICIow, 'OM. It is said to be the common experience of occupants of the white house thut their right hands and arms become swollen nod well nigh paralyzed after onch struggle with hand shakevs at a public reception. Lincoln is remem- bered to huve suffered from this custom 80 that he publicly complained of it, and he had an armand hand that could stand a good deal of rough treatment, If we are not mistaken General Grant also was on more than one oceasion com- pelled to forego hand shaking when he ocould no longer endure the torture resulting from it. President Cleveland has passed through these or- deals without experiencing any serious results, but he has not been so lavish of his courtesy as some of his predoces- sors. Genersl Havrison was required to shake hands with & great many thou- sund people duriug the campuign, and it is'well known that he suffered from the exertion. Just as a president is to be inaugur- ated is an opportune time to suggest the abandonment of a practice which is both tyrannical and senscless, Why should the ident and his wife be condemned to grasp the hand of every person who goes to the white howse during a period of four years, and as often as th come ? What justification is there for ing this most oppressive, and even dan- gerous, duty upon the chief executive and his wife ? There is no rule of eti- quette and no princivle of courtesy that require it. All that these call for is a recognition, and perhaps a pussing word of salutation. Doubtless the hand- shaking practice is as old as t he custom of receptions, and thus has the approval of long usa but each succeeding president in this growing land finds the exactions of this custom increasing, and as there can be no distinction made bet sns who pay their respects on public occasions to their chiof mag- istrate, the only way to treat the prac- tice 1s to abolish it. The matter would be less grievous if people would be con- tent with simply meeting with their hand the hand of the president, but this is not to bo hoped for. Hundreds are not satisfied with anything less than a grip into which they throw all the muscular power at their command, by way of expresing their gratification. They do not mean to be cruel and bratal, but that is simply what they are. The objection that it isnot desirable to shake hands with everybody is also to be considered. General Havrison would run no risk of losing in popularity if he should re- fuse to countenance this vicious practice of hand shaking and return to the cus- tomof the early presidents, when a bow from the gentlemen and a courtesy from the ladies was deemed a sufficient form of grecting. impos- on citi THE RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE. In the current number of Magazine ex-Postmaster Gene mes a plea for the divorcement of the srvice from politics. No man in the country is better informed regarding the character of - this service and its requirements than Mr. James, and his opinion that it would be im- proved by frecing it wholly from politics, is entitled to thoughtful con- sideration. Mr. James points out that during most of the time since this ser- vice was established it has not ounly received little aid from the pohiticians in congress and the administrations, but has had to contend against their indif- ference or absolute opposition. The idea of such a service, first presented more than twenty-five years ago, was not put to a practical demonstration until 1871, and although its utility was soon made obvious it gained support slowly from congress and the depart- ment. Now, however, it has come to be recognized as indispensable, and the disposition is to steadily im- prove the service and increase its efliciency. In order to do this men who have become profi- cient in the service must be re- tained, for demoralization must cer- tuinly follow a policy of removals such as is pursued in other branches of the government service, and this applies as well to the heads of the railway mail service as to the clerks. In the view of Mr. James it will not be sufficient to apply the civil service rules to this ser- vice. Itneeds thesanctity of the stat- ute law, declaring that the clerks should not only keep theiwr places during good behavior, but that after twenty yea of faithful and efficient service, or before that time if injured, in the discharge of their duty they should retive on half pa, Uuder such conditions he says the United States would have one of the best and most eficient railway mail services in the world. There is much to be commended in what Mr. James says on this subject, with which he is en- tirely familiar, and it will have the un- qualified approval of the men in the service. Four years ago the central figure in the inaugural procession was Governor Pitzhugh Lee, of Virginia, who was mounted on a gray horse and clad in a general’s uniform of cadet gray. Thus the confederncy was typitied, and the nephew of the military laader of the confederacy was the oynosure of all eyes, und was enthusiastically groeted by admiring democrats all along the line of march. In to-morrow’s proces- sion, s0 it is announced, a prominent figure will be Governor Foraker, of Ohio, who will be mounted on a black horse and wear the uniform of a union general. Ohio’s governor s man of fine apponrance, sits n horse splendidly, has a martial hearing, is famed for courage in war and in peace, and is in all respeots the peer of Vir- ginin’s governor. If the programme as stutod is carried out, undoubtedly the enthusiasm that will greet Foraker will quite equal, if it does not far surpass, that which was extended to Lee, and which was more in honor of his uncle than himself. Tt promises to be one of the distinetive features of to-morrow’s tevent. W elsewhere print a history of the county seat wars in Kansas, which will be found very intevesting. That state has been peculiarly distinguished for these conflicts, some of which have been of a quite desperate and serious charac- ter. Within a year there have been no fower than fourteen of these wars, all resulting from the same causes, and our correspondent states that there are now six contests in progress. It is cstimated that in the last four yoars these county sout conllicts have cost the state a mil- lion dollars, and of course this is not their only ill result. It is a serious reflection on the state ad- ministration that this sort of thing has bebn allowed to continue to such an extent, but the legislature appears to have finally concluded thut something must be done, and a bill has passed the upper branch of that body authorizing the governor to designate the county seat of newly organizsd counties, the place 80 designated to remain the county seat for a term of not less than five DAY MARCH yoars.

Cinetnnati Enguirer. Now that Montana is about to hecome a state, it is pleasant to see a spirit of reform pervading that estimable community, Its legislature has just declared that chuck-a- luck, monte, stud poker and keno must be driven out, and that the only gambling °s which shall hereafter be considered are faro and draw poker. It is neces- sary to draw the line somewhere, but let us hope that these fierce reformers have spared thenoble game of *‘craps.” ——— What It 1s to Lie. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Dr. Horace Porter, in the Open Court, asks: “What makes peoplo lie?"” and says in answer: ‘In looking at the subjective face of mendncity we find at once a retrograde nictamorphosis of the victim’s hemispherical ganglia,” The public have doubtless sup- posed the case pretty bad, but they did not know before that the democratic ‘‘hemis- pherical ganglia'’ was involved. It was a sad case. POT ay ‘When Found Make a Note On't. Chicago News. Colonel Elliott . Shepard has sent somo beautiful flowers to the wife of the presi- dent-elect.
