A REDUCTION of the bridge motor line’s fares between the hours of five and soven, both morning and evening, for the bencfit of workingmen, would be amove in the right direction. KILRAIN now suys he has had enough of Sullivan, The general publicisin the same frame of mind. This remark is equally applicable to Mr. Kilrain and the whole brotherhood of bruisers. As was predicted, the local train ser- vice inauzurated on several of the lines leading into Omaha is a pronounced success. Now let the Towa roads like- wise establish local train servico be- tween points in Towa and the Missouri river. AMONG the most worthy of charities in large cities are those which provide for summer outings for poor children. New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chi- cago notably ve inaugurated such serios of suramer oxcursions whereby the children of tenement districts are sent out to hospitable sanitariums at the sea shore or in the country. The beno- fits derived from these trips by the sickly and emaciated children of erowded cities may be hard to estimate. Nevertheless they are greatly enjoyed and the money which goes into these fresh air funds is as cortain to yield as large returns as any recreation which benevolence and charity can devise. OMAIA is more or less interested in the success of the Yankton Cement works, just being ostab- lished in that city. On the testi- mony of experts it is said that the qual- ity of the clay found in Yankton is al- most equal to the famous ingredient found near Portland, England, of which Portland cement is made, Should it turn out to be true that the Yankton cement is of a superior quality, it 1 develop a great industry in that city.

SHIPPING PAUPERS TO AMERICA. Several weeks ago it was raported from London that considerable numbers practice which appears to be worth the attention of the military authori ties, and that is that the soldiers should be furnished with a better class of arms, Tt is saxd that the arms now in the hands of our soldjers are old-fash- foned, and the system of mechanism has for years given way in foreign armios to other wted to win victories thhn our single-fire pleces. Good marksmanship with an- tiquidated weapons may refloct greater credit upon our soMicrs than if su- perior arms whbo gsed, but our small army should be .*u]\v\{il‘d with the bost arms to be had, fard botter caleu western coast of Ireland to America by order of the British autnorities. In order to ascertain whether there was any truth in the report, one of the com- missioners of emigration in New York wrote to the parish priest at Kreris, county Mayo, and also to a leading mer- chant of t place. In reply he re- ceived the statement that the poorest and most worthless class were being sent from that place on what is termed the free emigration by what is there called the emigra- tion committee, a mnominal body merely, to cloak the operations of the agent of the government authori- ties. These statements have received additional verification from an Irish- man who arrived in New York on last Friday, and who gave the information that the English poor authorities are making arrangements to send over to the United States two hundred and fifty poor Irish families who are un- able to support themselves in the old country. One of the New York commissioners of emigration said a tew days ago that there 18 a systematic movement on the part of the Kuropean gov- ernments to dump their paupers on our soil. Since the protest on the part of our government in 1884 their movement has been con- ducted secretly, but not without sue- cess. Last year, according to the re- port of the commissioners of emigra- tion, out of some three hundred and eighty thousand who landed at Castle Garden,only five hundred and one were sent home. Under the condition of af- fairs existing at Castle Garden, as rep- resented by this commissioner, there is ample encouragement to foreign gov- ernments which may desire to unload their paupers upon us, and particularly to the English government, and if the facts he states are true, the commis- sioner is right in saying vhat so far as Castle Garden is concerned the countr; would be better off if it were wiped out of existence. There is matter in these disclosures for the serious consideration of both the secretary of state and the secretary of the treasury. The former should take prompt steps ta, officially ascortain whether England or any other country is shipping its paupers to the United States, and if such is found to be the fact, the protest against the disregard of our laws and of international comity can not be made too vigorous. The duty of the secretary of the treasur to make provision for a more efiicient and faithful enforcement of the law pro- hibiting the landing 6f paupers, @ad” doubtless he could not make a better beginning than by abandoning the ar- rangement under which the treasury department delegates to the New York emigration commissioners duties and authority which should be exercised only by officials of the general govern- ment. A little looking up on this sub- ject in Washington, where it has appar- ently received the least considerstion, if indeed 1t has received any, would be generally commended. The informa- tion certainly appears to be sufliciently definite and trustworthy to warrant the national authorities in taking notice of it. WIHENEVER a franchise is to be pro- cured for the private control of apublic improvement, the parties who apply for them are very profuse in their promises of great plants that are to be erected and maintained. When a rail- roud company wants a subsidy from any town they promise to build a handsome depot or round house or mammoth machine shops. When the road is built and the bonds have been gobbled the town finds itself in posses- sion of a ten by twenty freight house, a rounda house with three stalls, or a big shed with a plant for repairing broken down hand cars. It is the same with the street car lines and motor companies. Vote them franchise and they promise to build great power houses, mammoth car shops, with a plant that would give em- ployment to hundreds of working men. By the time the franchise has been voted the promised oxtensions dwindie down to a few miles of track, the mammoth power houses become mere relays, anu the car houses mere sheds for keeping two or three cars out of the rain. The franchise has, however, become a vested right, and the moment any competing line attemts 1o build, the courts are in- voked to protect the speculators against the encroachments of rivals. WITHIN the past few years Omaha has drawn a considerable amount of her lumber supply from the south. The growth of the southern lumber trade is a matter only of the last eight years. Before that time the forests of Wiscon- sinand Michigan alone furnished all the lumber used in this section of the country. Amnother great lumber region is about to be placed within our reash. It has long been known that one of the most wonderful pineries of the world existed in Northern California, Oregon and Washington. For years, howover, ithas been inaccessible. But the ex- tension of railrofds into those states opens up large tracts of lumber lands which can now be worked profitably. There is littlo qugstion but that just as Georgia pine found its way into our markets so will California redwood and regon pine shortly Be brought exten sively into use é: the construction of our houses. With Michigan and Wis- consin on the uorth, Georgia on the south, California>anfl Washington on the west,to draw from, Omaha should soon develop into a great lumber supply depot for this section of the country. IN many respects the session of the National Educational association just closed at Nashville was the most suc- cessful in the history of that body. Not alone was a large attendance present, but” its deliberations and discussions excited a widesvread intervest. It is gratifying to note that a spirit of en- thusiasm pervaded the session and that the educators were in hearty accord with the movement to make industrial training a leading feature of public school instruction. Unusual interest was manifest in the merits of Kinder garten training, the discussion of which occupied a considerable part of the meeting. The resuit of the conventio is encouraging to the friends of educa- tion. It demonstrates that the teachers and instructors of this country are pro- gressive, wide awake and aliye to the needs and necessities of the present day. 3 —— ARMY RIFLE MATCHES. The army rifle matches this year promise to be of more than usual in- terest. The greater attention given within the last few years to marksman- ship in the army has been productive of gratifying results, and the marked ad- vanee made in this important element of soldierly efticiency insures a con- tinuance of the practice, with such im- provements from year to year as ex- perience shall suggest. In the matches Qf the present year there will be some changes from the re- quirements of preceding years. Two jearsagoa new competition, that of distinguished markmen, was established to alternate with the army competition. It accordingly again comes up this year and will beheld in the latter part of August, at the Bellevue range, Omaha, under the supervision of Major Guy V. Henry, with cavalry. This year there are separate competi- tions for the cavalry, who must use the carbine, while the artillery and in- fantry use the rifle. Inthe competi- tion of Cistinguished marksmen there will also be separate trials for those who use the carbine and those who use the rvifle. The cavalry competitions in general are released from department limits and accordingly those for the departments of the Platte, Dakota and Columbia will be held at the Bellevue range, taking place in August. Thus the two important events of the competition of distinguished marksmen and the cavalry competi- tions of three departments are to take place here, the Bellevue range getting by far the most interesting matches of the year. Rifle practice is pursued with in- areasing enthusiasm irom year to year by both officers and men.

Omaha Strect Car Company Wins An Important Victor: What is known as the “Thirtioth street case” among motor, cable tramway and horso ear injunction W#fits, was brought to a “close yesterday mornfiiy by Judge Doane in a lengthy opinion covering the constitutionality of the consolidation of the two latter com- punies under an act passed by the state legis- lature last February. Several other points in controversy were also settled. Because of the alleged unconstitutionality, the case, beiug that of the horse vailway against the Omaha motor company, attracted more at- tention and aroused a deeper intercst, especially among lawyers, than any of the its, On Aoril 24, plaintift applicd for and obtained from the board of public , pe mission to extend its line from wenty-seventh and Lake streets to Lhir- tieth street, thence north to the city limits.

It is contendod on behalf of defendant that plaintiff has no such right because the law under which the Horse Kailway and Cable Tramway companies were consolidated is unconstitutional and void because the terms of the law were not complicd with. “As to the first objeetion, this court will not presume to declare . law unconstitu- tional upon an application for temporary in junction. After a very careful examination of the law iteelf, and of the arguments of counsel as to the unconstitutionality of the Law, we cannot hold that it is 50 on this ap- plication, but, on the coutrary, think it free from objection on that account. “On the second objection, as to the failure of the plaintiff to comply with the torms of the law in order to effet a consolidation, we do not understand_that_ the question can be inquired_into coliaterally. That can only be done by a proceedings in the nature of quo warranto, iustitated by the proper offi- cer for such purpo It was further held that these two compan- fes had made a good showing of strict com- pliance with tho law in the terms of tho cor solidation.

The result is considered a great victory for the Omaha Street Railway company. Now tliat the matter has been decided in fayor of the street railway company and the validity of its frauchise establisbed, tho company, according to Mr. Murphy, the president, will immeaiately begin to push oxtensions in all directions. Ten miles of new stocl rails was ordered for this purpose yesterday. The work upon the South Omaha’ lines will bo pushed forward ‘as rapidly as sible. One of these will run out by the way of Thirteenth street and Vinton, and the other by the way of Han- scom park und Thirty-second avenue. Trams will be run on each lhne every ten minutcs, giving & five-minute se vice between the' two cities. The motive power on this ling will be electricity.

Several months ago Kitchen Hros. desired to inclose the porches.on the cast and north sides of the Paxton hotel, and appued to the BUZZINGS. “I notice,"” said ono of the heavy property owners on Farnam stroet, “thac cortain par tios have succeoded in eetting schome through the city council to oncloso the porches of tho Paxton house, undor the pro tenso that it will improve the looks of the hotel. That is aill very well, and I would like to seo the hotel improved in its appear- ance, but [ question the right of the city council, or the mayor, or anybody in Omaha to givo a permit for any such uso of a streot as is contemplated “The Paxton house porcos are said to ex tend nearly fifteen feot into the stroet.

It would cut off the light from adjacent proporty, and 1s contrary to oquity and justice in evory vospect. I hope the council will rescind its_action in this case.” “Did you seo Fred Nyo's lastopon letter!” remarked an old newspaper staga-horse who is just now laying off, ‘“Yes, indeod, I have seen it, if yon refer o the letter in which he says that the Republican was a wreck when he took hold of it five months ago, and had 1o circulation to speak of; while now o al- legos its circulation runs. away up above ton thousand. “One would supposs that Fred had dono something marvelous, but aftor all he has dono what any wrecker might do.
