Both have made honorable records in the service of their coun and that either should attempt to impair the fame of the other is a matter to be de- plored.

Sioux Falls granite paving blocks laid in sand are offered at two dollars and twenty-séven cents per yard; cedar blocks in sand and plank, will cost one dollar and thirty-four and one-half cents por yard. In other words for a difference of ninety-two and one-halt cents per yard you can pave with Sioux Falls granite in place of cedar block. If the cedar block be laid on concrete it will cost one dollar and six Sroux Crry strained ller eyes in vain . looking for the through express from Omahn to that town by way of Norfolk, All things, however, come to him who waits.

Sioux Falls granite will never wear out. A granite pavement may become uneven by the digging of trenches and excava- tions, or it may after twenty or thirty years of wear become too smooth, but it can be made as good as new by merely turning and resetting the blocks at a trifling cost. ‘Would any sane man sign for wooden paving and vote a perpetual tax upon his own property and upon the city also? The only oh]e\,lmn that can be urged against granite pavement is that it is noisy, but noise is not objectionable on heavy-trafic thoroughfares. On lovel streets that have little traffic the noise is comparatively trifling. On the other hand, if smooth and noiseless pavement is deemed essential, sheet or block as- phaltum is the proper material. Block asphaltum, which has not been tried in this city, is an admirable material for light-traffic streets. The blocks can be reset just the same as stone, and when worn down after a number of years they can be turned at least three times. After that period they can be dressed down again and reset. Sheet asphal- tum with a guaranty of ten or twenty years maintenance would, of course, be preferable to all other materials on streets that are lined with costly residences. But that luxury involves a heavier outlay than even the Belgian block pavement, In any event, the cedar block and all other wooden paving ought to be dis- carded in Omaha from now on. We have had a costly experience, like other cities, and that'should teach us that the best pavement is the cheapest in the end. THE mysterious disappearance of Dr. P. H. Cronin, of Chicago, the promi- ment Irish nationalist, is llkolv to prove . the sonsation of the hour, if it be not ' eleared up within a few days THE strained relation said to exist between Senators Quay and Sherman has entively infused itself into the con- gressmen of the rival states.

It was demonstrated that in case of need seventy thousand militinmen could be mssembled in that city within fiftoen IT CONTINUES TO GROW. The surplus revenue of the gove! ment for April amounted to elevon and a half million dollars. Allowing for the requirements of the sinking fund, there was a clear excess of seven and a half million dollars of revenue last month. This is keeping up a high average which promises a larger sur- plus at the close of the year than has been estimated., It is due to the de- cline in the amount of recent bound purchases, and the question it suggests is whether it may not become expedient for the secretary of the treasury to change his policy regarding the pur- chase of bonds with a view to attracting larger offerings. At present the accumulating surplus is not being seriously fclt, or perhaps not being felt at all, in the money mar- kets. The business of the country is moving quietly, and there is no com- Ir looks after all as if the Cherokee Indians are going to make the big real estate deal of the senson asa result of the opening of Oklahoma, The settle- mentof this country in the heart of the Indian territory will compel the fmmediate opening of the Cherokee strip. The Indians who own these six millions of acres, which must be crossed veach Oklahoma, will un- doubtedly drive a sharp bargain with the commission about to negotiate with pppointed boomers for the Cherokee lands will whet tho keenness of the Indians to make all they ran out of the deal. As the commission s au- plaint anywhere of nt of money. thorized to pay for the strip, | This situation scems likely to continue 4 necessa the full government | throughout the summer. There is no indication of a marked industmal ro- vival near at hand, and it is most prob- able that the yoar will pass without wit- nessing any decided recovery of activity in the gencral business of the country. Meanwhiie, the appropriations for the next fiscal year will become available after July 1, when disbursements from the treasury will dispose of a part or ull of tho surplus incrense up to that date. To this view of the situation, that is, a present ample supply of mouey in the country, and a large outflow from the treasury o begin two months hence, the admiaistration is likely to conclude ice of & doliar and a quarier perucre, it is hard to see how the commission ©an afford to haggle long over the transaction. The Cherokees are ro- peiving to-day from cattle men an an- mual vental for the use of these lands of mn two hundred thousand dollars, ey are consequently not hard pressed sell unless they can realize the full mit allowed by law. ‘The commission 88 cortainly in a peculiar predicament, d it is hardly to be expected that the »Emnl will let go of their title to the erokoe strip for icss than seven and balf millious, that thore is no good reason for offer- ing better inducements to bondholders, whom, it is quite probable, are with- holding bonds in the hope or expecta- tion of a change of policy in their in- terest. There has been some conjecture ns to whether the secrotary of the tronsury wil] withdraw the government money deposited with the national banks, amounting to about forty mil- lion dollars. The policy of the preced- ing admimstration in allowing the banks to use alarge amount of the money of the government, reaching, at one time, sixty-eight million dollars, wns condemned by the ropublicans in the last campaign, but notwith- standing this, the presont adminis- tration is compelled to deal with this legacy of its predece: sor with reference to practical consid- erations, and these all weigh against the proposition to withdraw the deposits at this time. Undoubtedly, when it can safely be done, this money will.be returned gradually to the treasury, but to begin its withdrawal now could hardly fail to precipitate financial stress. Sec- retary Windom is too careful and saga- cious & man to take such a risk. With the exception of the accumulating sur- plus the financial situation of tha coun- try appears to be healthy, with the promise of continuing so. — OUR DILATORY EXHIBITORS. It is to be regretted thav the opening of the Paris exposition found the American representation the farthest behind. There arve tho very best rea- sons why our exhibitors should have made extraordinary efforts to have their display as nearly complete as pos- sible on tho opening day. As the greatest of the republics, heartily sym- pathizing with the motive of the expo- sition, our representatives ought to have sought to emphasize that sympathy oy making the fullest practicable con- tribution to the attractions of the ex- position at the outset. Then there was the boasted American enterprise and energy to be justified. Nothing was more certain than that the great majority ot the visitors would be most curious to sece the display of the great republic, and to be found unprepared to gratify this cu- riosity was necessarily to suffer a loss of prestige. Nearly every other countr, even the smaller states of South Am ica that are represented, had itsexhibit in complete condition, while 1n the area allotted to the United States there was little to be seen except an array of boxes that were yot unpacked It is some gratification to learn that such display as the American exhibitors did make greatly interested the visitors, our achieve- ments in the manufacture of glassware having, it appears, made a marked sensation among the foreign glass- maukers, and unquestionably when the exhibit shall be made complete it will receive its full share of attention and commendation. But still there is no suflicient excuse for its being so far be- hiud, and it does not reflect favorably upon the judgment and enterprise of the men having the management of the exhibit, that all other countries were permitted to gain such an advantage of us. Possibly we shall be able to more than make up for it and to regain whatever has been lost in prestige through the dilatoriness of our repre- sentatives, but the circumstance is not flattering to American pride. The exposition will be in most re- spects the grandest ever held, and not- withstanding the want of sympathy with it on the part of Kuropean gov- ernments, necarly all the countries of Europe are represented, the only im- portant nation absent being Gormany. The opening of the exposition was un imposing and brilliant eyent, distin- guished by abundant evidences of pa- triotic enthusiasm, and signalized by a demonstration ol popular interest un- paralleled in the previous experience of Paris. The success of this great en- terprise in commemoration of the firsk French republic scems assured. IRRESPONSIBLE CONTRACTORS. The council should go very slow - in letting the paving and sewerage con- tracts. The experience of the county commissioners with the county hospital contracts should be a warning to the city authoritics in letting contracts in- discriminately to the lowest bidder. Coutractors for public works should be responsible individually. The mere filing of a bond signed by responsible parties is not a quaranty of good work and first class materials. Parties who are notoriously insolvent or never have been known to do a first-class job can readily get bondsmen. Who has ever heard of such a pond being entorced by prosccution. It is always the same old story—the poor bondsmen would be ruined if you compel them w0 make good the short- commngs of the contractor. It was so with the city hall basement. The Brennans were let out because there was too much sympathy for Whalen, What 18 true of one class of public works is true of all. Paving and sewer con- tracts should only be made with respon- sible parties who are known to have means 1o complete their work ac- g to specifications, even if they lose money. —_— FALSE PREDICTIONS. When we called attention to the un- businesslike una illegal letting of the ing contracts last month we were taken to task by local contemporaries as playing into the hands of a contrac- tors’ combine, and predictions were made that the result of a new letting would be to the disadvantage of tax- yers. We were told that the prices which the award had been made would be iuterference with the awarded would result in higher- Thesc predietiops have not heen iied. A ¢ rative ex- hibit of the vavious paving proposals under the previous award and later bids shows that the city has sccured much lower prices under the new and uni- form specifications. The delay of three or four weeks caused by the rendvertis- ing, hus saved the taxpuycrs of Omana weny thousands of dollavs, and-what is at were lower than they ever again, and any coutracts then be sure o priced paving. fully au essontisd 1ds active rommmhm. we have enforoed compliance with char- ter regulation THe next c.wu‘}u to ombrace a re- port upon the nugabver and amount of farm mortgages, It is a very proper re- quirement, whichydf carefully carvied out, will not beth# least valuable part of the consus.' Tghstworthy informa- tion regarding the amount of capital’ investod in this%vay, and the condition of the farming fltérest of the country a8 shown by tha number and extent of mortgages, is vty much nooded, both as a means of correcting the loose and reckless statements of those who may be interested in misrepresenting the situation, and of asserting to a correct judgment of what is necessary to be done by legislation, particularly in re- spect of the fiscal policy of the country, for promoting the welfare of the farm- ing interest by relieving it of unneces- sary and unjust burdens. We have no doubt that sucha report would place Nebraska in the front rank of thestates where investments in farm mortgages have proved most secure and profitable. ——— THE bogus circulation factory which throws its papers indiscriminately into people’s back and front yards, is trying to divert attention from the main point at issue. But the people who.pay out money for advertising cannot be gulled. They discriminate in favor of TiE BEE, not asa matter of sympathy, but because want to reach the great mass of aper roaders in this community. They refuse to throw away their money on a newspaper that 1s scattered about promiscuously or delivered to people who have never subscribed for it and never intend to pay for it. Every well- established newspaper will refuse to de- liver its paper unless it is wanted and paid for. When any publisher ran- sacks the town by a horde of canvassers and gives away papers right and left, the circulation is, flctitious and practi- cally worthless advertising medium. a8 an TrE people of Dakota have, to all ap- pearances, postponed discussion con- cerning the location of the capitals of North and South Dakota.

The constitutional conventions have nothing to do with the location of the capitals, as that is matter for the respective legislatures, when elected, to pass upon. 1 — TuE Louisiana “*régulator” isagain in the field with his trusty rifle in order to provent a freo bailot and a fair count.
