He Was Fittingly Inducted Into Office Last Evening. THE FEDERAL COURT DOCKET. Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day—Look- ing For a Firs Chief—Ayless worth's Farewell Session ~General Not Mavor Macrae's Inauguration. It was precisely fifteen minutes before elght o'clock last evening when Dalbey's band of eighteen pieces struck up the open- ing overture in the south court room of the county court house at the inauguration of Mayor Macrae. The spacious room was fiiled with a cathering” of represeatative citizens, and the space inside the bar railing was filled with ladies. Policemen in full uniform and white gloves did duty as ushers, and others were stationed at the entrance: on the inain staircase and in the corridors. Every light in the large building, both gas and electric, was ablaze, and the scene was a very attractive one. ‘I'he bewuties of the court room were doubly apparent under thabrilliant illumina- tion, and large bouquets of fragrant flowers graced the judge's bench, Arranged in V shape in front of the desk of the presiding officor were six tables for the aldermen, and between the open ends was the desk of the clerk. At 8:15 the mayor and council, headed by Chief of Polica Lucas uod City Marshal Guenella, filed in and took their seats, In response to the call for tho reports of committees, Mayor Rohrer stated that the commission o¢ Judge-Elect McGee, as judge of the superior court, had arrived from the governor of lowa, and the city marshal was directed 10 escort the newly elected offivial to the room, after which the oath of office was administered by City Clerk D. A. Farrell. ‘Ihe mayor then read his farewell mes- sage o the council, Mayor Rohrer’s adaress was quite lengthy and exhaustive. It embraced important facts and tigures, many of which huve already been made public by the board of trade, and other reports. The address will provea valuable nistorical und statistical document to bo filed away and used for reference rather than to be tuken up as interesting or sensational reading. On the matter of city finances Mayor Rohrer suggested : Every now and then a portion of our citis zens clarn that taxes are too high and should be reduced, and at the same time keep peti- tioning tho city council for a lnrger fire de- partment, more engine houses, which means more men and more firs apparatus, for more volicemen, for cleaner streets, for more electric, gas or gasoline hght, for more bridges, water hydrants, etc., and at the same time if a special election was called the next day authorizing an additional levy for specitic purposes 1t would carry by a large majority. In this connection I desire 1o state that in my opinion the city council and the school directors should give the publica longer notice than is required by law"to dis- cuss the merits of all questions that are to be voted on authorizing the levy of additional tax, Under our present system of valuation the state, county and school district make a levy lurge enough to produce tho revenue they require, while the city council can only levy the 10 mills authorized by law, which pro= duced an mcome for the yeur 1888 CERRGES Receipts from license and fines .

Under the custom of assessea valuaiion and the limit of 10 mills for all city pur- cluding salaries of city oficials, police, fire and engineer’s departments, streets and alleys, city property, fire appa- ratus, ete., the mayor and city council for yeurs have been trving to solve the problem of giving our citizens, in complianca to teir apporently just demands, &2 worth of ser- vice forevery $1 of income placed at their disposal. I can not refrain from again reminding you that our present administration was oblized to pilot through two of the most prosperous years in the history of the city with its corresponding increased demands from the heretofore unknown portions of tho city, with the limited income derived from an assessed valuation of $4,643,510 made January 1, 1857, The new administra« tion 13 entivled to our congratulations on ac- count of its starting out as heir to the largost increase in ussessed valuation ever falling to any previous city council, The assessed vaiuation from which they will derive their 10 mill levy is 5,125,208 made January 1, 1880, “T'his will increase their revenue about 15,000, enough to take care of the fire do- partment. Alderman Everett moved that the report be refercea to the finance committee with reference to having it published, as had been tbe case with other report On motion of Alderman La adjourned sine die. After a short recess the members of the new council, Messrs. \Woods, Wiund, Lacy, Mikesel!, Smith, Knepher, Everett and Cas- par, took their seats, The roll was called and the reading of the minutes dispensed with . The oond of Mayor-elect Macrae in the sum of 83,000, with J. L. Stewart and John Beresheim as sureties, was read and ap- proved. OAldermen Everott and Lacy were ap- poioted a committee to notify the mayor- elect of the upproval of his bond and to re- quest him 1o present hiwmsell to be sworn nto ofiice. » y Clerk Farrell administered tho oath, and the new wayor took his place on the rostrum. The retiring mayor presented him with the gavel, and the nowly inaugurated mayor read his first message 1o the council, He started out by stating that taxes were too high. He said: “Men capable of judging, and whose opin- ion in such matters is worth having, tell me they are too high, It will be observed that 1do not arrozate to myself any intimate knowledge of the situation, nor can I do so until 1 have made a study of our taxes and all other mattors connected with our munis cipal government. It will devolve then upon me, upon you, my fellows in the council, to state, county. the council attempt to reduce the expendtures, to care fully guard and watch for loakages, and in this way make ends meet. \We must see that our exponses are light, and that they must not exceed our income. ‘The resolu tions udopted at the recent anuual meeting of citizens must be the guiding star of our action in financial matters. |These rosolu- tious were then read. | ‘' I guess you huvo the hardest and wick- edest city in America,’ was the remark which was made to me tho other day on the train, Those of us who live and have al- ways lived here can hardly realize the im- pression which strangers roceive when they Visit us. We are so much taken up with our own business, our minds and time 80 pre- occupied, that we do not see the enormity of immorality and looseuncss which infosts us, or perhaps wo regard the condition as in evitable in u large and growing city There is no doubt, however, that our char- acter is a bad one, the name of our fair city despoiled and @ byword. It is unnecessary to particularize our shortcomings in this re. spect; sufficient w say that it must be your duty and wine to endeavor to place our’ be. loved city in the fore front of Iowa citios as far as regards morality and firm governmoent to regulate and place under careful control what must be endurad, and effectually stamp out the unendurable, With this end in view it will be necossary to place the police sys- tem under more stringent discipline than has heretofore obtained, requiring the members of tue force Lo conform strictly to the rules THE OMAHA DAILY BEE:) TUESDAY.

So that, after all, we must simply do our duty." The message was listened to with the closest attention, and was loudly applauded, It was referrod to the committee of the whols, after which a_recess was declared. For fifteen minutes the hand of the new mayor was warinly shaken, when the coun- cil was again called to order.

A great many people were found yester- day who announced their intention of attend- ing the inauguration of the newly elected mayor at the court house last evening, but there were also others who we: not that way inclined. Of the latter class, some were democrats and some were republicans, but none of them were admirers of Mayor Robrer. They denounced his farewell exni- bition as a piece of rank foolishness, and vowed that they would show their disap- probation by staying away. Alderman Weaver, Judge Aylesworth ana several other retiring city ofticials were included in the list, while Judge James and other suc- cassful candidates seconded the idea. Said Judge Aylesworth: *You can't expect a man to dance at his own funeral, can vou! I can't see why Rohrer 1s celebrating his retirement with such a blare of trumpets, and inviting all of us fellows dewn there, when everybody knows that b dministration was the only thing that caused the defeat of the demo- cratic ticket here this sprine. He wants us all to go down there and glory over our de- feat. Iam notatall sore because I was de- feated, for I am really better off out of tho office than I was init. There has been a general feeling that the pastadministra- tion has beon corrupt and venal, and in many respects I believe ' that there s reason for this feeling. I anticipated a change, and was not disap- pointed when 1t came. I believe the new council is one of the best the city has ever had, and I think that the next administra- tion’ will bo a satisfactory one, 1 don't ap- prove of the hurrah that Rohrer is gotting up, and it looks very weak to me.” Said Alderman Weaver: “It is all non- seae to do the thing this way, and I won't 0.

Tho statement that the republican moam bers of the city council have fixed up u slate of appointive officars is denied by the new aldermen. They admit that the matter has been taliced over, but they say that no defi- nite'conclusion has yet been reached. Said Alderman Everett yesterday: “It looks now very much as if the little already done n this direction would be smashed to pleces when the council meets in executive ses- sion.” It seoma that there is great difcuity in agreeiog on & satisfactory cbief of the fire department. The aldermen thought they had pleked out the right man,but there is so much opposition at the Hagd suggestion that they are again casting abbut 1n search of proper material. The demand seems to be that the new chief shall b# gthorough fieman and one who wiil comifiana the respoct of the en- tire department. The two men who receive the strongest suppert are James Bradley, tho present electrician, and Norris B. Wicks, wh stationed at No. 8 hoso house, Both are thoroughly capable firemen, and the plan now suggested is to make Bradley chief and Wicks assistant chi¢f, In this case a capablo head to the department would be constantly on duty. It is urged that the prosent salar: is not enough, and ws Bradley is now receiv- ing 800 per month, it is recommended that he he paid at least §100 or $125 per month, This would reduce the pay roll of the department from $15 to $10 per month, and at the same time greatly increase its éfciency.

Great Possibinties in It for the Two Dakotas, Writing on the subject of artesian water power in the Dakotas a contrib- utor iu the True Republican, published at Wessinton Springs, S. D., says: There is power sufficient that can be obtained at no very great cost) that can and will be at no distant day utilized to run all the manufactories thav ave or will be needed in South Dakota, and to grind every grain of Dakota hard wheat. Instead of sending our wheat to Duluth, Minneapolis or Chicago, wo cun make the flous at home and make that as our surplus; and what will be the result? Our last “short” crop of wheat is estimated by the latest reports from the agricultural devartment at about 41,000,000 bushels; by our own statistics at about 44,000,000,” the vaiue of which is #24,000,000 to $28,000,000. Now at a rough estimate it costs from 40 to 60 cents a bushel tosend our wheat to Minneapolis and have it converted into flour. odd Two-thirds of this forty million bushels may be sold s surplus—and there is no doubt that with our present ‘'short crop” fully 20,000,000 bushels have been sent to market—so that if we had our own flouring mills at home, we would have been more than $12,000,000 better off this year, as all the freight on the raw material, the outrageous dockage and profits of the middlemen—the ele- vators—would be saved, and the cost of the manufacture retailed at home. This may hardly seem possible to some who live on a *‘dry quarter,” and have their well at a door in a barrel; but it is very likely that in the next five years there will be many flouring mills run in South Dakota by this sub- torranean power. At the same time the water can again be used for irriga- tion, and such crops as have never been dreamed of greet your eves on every side. It scems auif the Giver OI All Good has cspecinlly prepared this r markable healthy countrv for a won- derful future, We have the soil, and the water just within our reach; and it can be utilized just whea we want it. Everyone can imagine what a veritu- ble Garden of Eden our state will be with its lovely girdens, its monstrous crops, its beautiful groves, and dry roads. Congress should appropriate as for one yeur as is given to the Indians and a wonderful result follow. South Dakota is destined to be the most desirable state in the union. No other state possesses clearer skics or i s. She is proverbial for health, both for, man and beast, and everybody knows there are no brighter, smarter, hundsomer or more rugged babies in the world than are raised right here in our own Dakota. With the best babies, with plent; flouring mills and other indu water for irrigation, the best ¢ and the largest tin mines known, Da- kota leads the world. It has been reported that a project has been proposed to build a flouring mill at Alpzna. There is no doubt but a well can be put down there which will furnish all the power needed at less ex- pense than a steam engine, and once in operation there would be very little ex- pense for power, while the surplus water could be utilized for town and irriga- tion purposes. e Horsford's Acid Fhosphate, Useful in all forms of dyspepsia. slosbiiins bty THE FRENCH PEASANT, would How He Contrib to the Great- ness of the Republic, The life led by a comfortable English or American faymer would represent wicked waste and shameful indulgence to a much richer French peasant,writes Frederic Harrison in the March Iorum. I myself know a laborer on wages of less than twenty shillings a week, who by thrift has bought ten acres of the magnificent garden land between Fontainebleau and the Seine, worth many thousand pounds, on which grow all Kinds of fruits and vegetables, and the famous desart grapes; yet who,with all his wealth and abundance, denies himself and his two children meat on Sundays, and even a drink of the wina which he grows and makes ‘or the market. I know a peasant family in Normaundy, worth in houses, gardens and farms at least 500,000 francs, who will live on the orts cast out as refuse by their own lodgers, while the wife and mother hires hersell out as a scul- lion for two francs a day. The penur- iousness of the Irench peasant is to English eyes a thing savage, bestial and maniacal. The French peasant has great v but he has the defects of his vir- s, and his home life is far from idyllie. He is luborous, shrewd, endur- ing, frugal, self-reliant, sober, honest, and capable of intense self-control for o distant reward; but that reward is prop- erty in land, in parsuitof which he may become as pitiless as a bloodhound. He is not chaste (indeed he is often lecher- ous), but he relentlessly keepsdown the population, and--ean hardly bring him- self to rear two children. To give these two children a good heritage, he will infliot great hardships on them and on all others whom he controls. He has an intense pasgion for his own immedi- ate locali but he loves his own com= mune, and still more his own terre, bet- ter than he loves France. He isintel- ligent; but he is not nearly so well edu- cated us the Swiss, or the German, or the Hollander, (He is able to bear suf- fering without'wmurmur; but he has none of that imperturbable courage which Englishmenand Americans show in a thousand mnew situations. He is shrewd and far seeing, and a tough hand in a bargain; but he has none of the inventive audacity of the American citizen., He is self-reliant, but .too cautious to trust himsell in a new field. He is independent, but without the proud spirit of the Spanish peasant. He has a love forthe gay, the beautiful and the graceful, which, compared with that of the Englishman, is the sense of art; though he has nothing of the charm of the Italian or the musical genius of the German, If France isstrong, the backbone of her strength is foand in the industry and thriftof her peasantry. And if her peasantry ave thrifty and in- dustrious it is because the revolution of ’89 has secured to them a position more free and indepeddent than that pre- sented by any monarchical country on the continent of Europe, 1890. FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. Politiclans Afrald They Have Die= covered Something. THE JUDI!CIARY AMENDMENTS. An Apparent Detect in the Resolu- tion—The Original Papers Missing—Seely Criticised ncoin in Brief. Political Matters. Neb, March ~ 17.—!Special to Tur Bre.]—The capital city is a political center towards which politicians naturaily gravitats and in which everything of a polit- ical nature receives the closest scrutiny, A great many possibilities are unearthed here, and tho latest concerns tho proposed consti- tutional amendments for changing the judic- jary, Ono amebdment provides for increas- ing the number of the supreme court judges from three to five. The other proposes to raise their salaries to $3,500 and to increase the salaries of the district court judges to #3,000. THese propositions were embodisd 10 a joint resolution, and interested politi cians are somewhat stirred over an apparent defect in the resolution. It provides for an afirmative vote on both propositions, but makes no such provision for the negative, In considering the proposed high licenss and prohibition amendments this point was discussed, and particular paios were taken to provide forms for utirm- ative and for negative votes on both proposi- tions. A search of the records in the oftice of the secretary of state has revealed tho stranke fact vhat the original resolutions are not on file, and it 1s presumed they are still in the possession of Walt M. Seeley, secrotary of the senate. It is nearly a vear eince the leg- islature adjourtied and Mr. Seeley's action las given rise to considerable speculation, not all of it complimentary. There 18 on file in 7"0 oftice of the secre~ tary of state a bound set of the bills and resolutions as introduced in tho scnate. Among these aro the original printed reso- lutions embodying the proposed changes in the judiciary, and both of them provide a form for negative as well as for aflirmative votes, These resolutions were introduced by the judiciary committee and it is asserted they werc submitted to members of the supreme court before - baing brought befare the senate. The resolutions were amended in the house and the provisions for negative vote dropped out. When asked for an opinion on the validity of the submission, Chief Justice Cobb plesded a lack of thought upon the matter and ovaded committing him- sclf. In speaking of the license and the pro- hibition amendments, however, the judge said the impression was general among the members of the legislature that under our coustitution the absence of form for nega- tive votes would not invalidate the resolu- tions. To carry they must have a majority of all votes cast at the election, and all bal- lots that do not have an expression on the amendments are equivalert to votes against them. Some politicians believe that these resolutions were manipulated to influence the supreme court 1n its consideration of the double-barreled license-prohibition amend- ment.

Pri The Enormo Amoun:s Bosom ot Old Oczan H A company lately setout from Sydney to New Zealand to recover sunken treas- ures from some old wreck on the west coust of the Middle island, but so far no returns have been published, the oper- ations prebably uot being complete says the dney Herald. he subject of sunken treasure reminds one of the heaps of gold carried in the galleons and like packets years ago. In 1769 a ship-of-war from Rio to Lisbon hat on poard 9,000,000 of crusades in diamonds and about 100,000 “*erowns tournois” in pinstres, making in the whole 20,050,000 livres tournois. So much so for a single ship. 1In 1774 two Spanish ships from Vera Cruz and the Havana arvived with ,000,000 crowns, besides merchandise valued at 27,000,000 crowns. Such ex- amples could be multiplied, Of che cargo of an English Inaiaman n 1771, one item alone, a diamond in rough, was valued at £100,000, *‘going to be manufactured in England on ac- count of one of the Asiatic nabobs,” und on the private freight of this vessel the policies of insurance were opened at Lloyd’s at a high premium, so costly were her contents and so doubt- ful her safe arvival. As a costly ship- wreck La Lutine deserves notice. She was of thirty-two guns, commanded by Captain Skynner, and went ashore on the bank of the island passage on the night of October 9, 1799, At first she was reputed to have £600,000 in specie on board. This was aftc rd contradicted by a statement thatthe whole amounted to £140,000, In more modern times the costliness of ship- wreck is to be found in the destruction of the fabric and her cargo rather than in the treasure on board. What- ever may have been the worth of a gnleon as a ship, there need be no seruple in concluding that when brand- new her value would be but that of a toy in comparison with such ocean mail boats as now convey speeie and valu- ables. The sinking of an Atlantie, In- dian or Austrailian liner---even with a clean hold---would represent an im- mense treasure if told in dollars, ducats or piasters, and when is added the argonlong with the passen lug- gago, whioh would include u quantity of jewelry representing many thousands of "pounds, some astonishing figures would be the result, ‘'ne Royal Charter is the most nota- ble modern 1nstance of the wreck of a Mtreasure” ship. She left Australia with £350,0€0 in her, Of this sum, says Charles Dickens in GREAT SLAUGHTER - In Carpets, Mattings, Oil Cloth, Rugs, Sili and Lace Curtains and Fixtures, Portieres Drapery, Silks, Plushes, Uvholstery Goods, Window Shades, ete.
