BovCoTTING a railvoad for paying ticket commissions has not proved profitable and the ticket agont can once more assume the airs of the hotel clerk. He is sure of his commission no matter over what road he tickets his passengor. THE English labor commission opposes barmaids. The picturesque females have hitherto been the chief attraction in English ale houses and the labor commission is attaching an evil which has long been tolerated—chiefly because it was evil. SOME of the San Francisco hoodlums who have delighted hitherto in making existence uncertain and miserable to the Chinese of the coast metropolis should be sent over to China to take the place of the missionaries whom the celestinls are stoning and otherwise persecuting as “barbavians.” Axo the many benevolent, char- itable and religious organizations in Omaha deserving tho good will of this community none is more worthy of cordial support and encouragement than the Young Men’s Christinn association, 1t is o positive potent force 1n the social economy of Omaha. A coar of tar and feathers was ap- plied to a gay doctor in Johnson county asa hint from his neighbors that his presenco in the community was dis- tasteful.

GOVERNOR-SENATOR HILL of New York will not permit Jones-he-puys-the- froight to enjoy tho brief digmty of act- ing governor.

AMERICAN ealamity croakers who have been 80 prone to point the morals of their harangues with references to the better financial condition of distant lands are reminded that within a month immenso financial iostitutions have crumbled in Germany, China and Aus- tralia. It is not many months since the great London house of Baving Bros. went into bankruptey, and not quite o month has passed since the Russian gov- erantaent was begging the Rothschilds and other great bankors for a loan which they hesitated to grant. The fact is, we are doing better in America and our financial outlook is more encouraging than that of any other great nation oun the globe. ~ RURAL FREPR MAIL DELIVERY. Not the lenst intoresting part of the | annual report of the postmaster genoral relates to what has been accomplished by the experiment in the rural free de- livery of mail matter. The last con- gress appropriated $10,000 for this purpose, and the postmaster statesthat the appropriation “showed oll signs of actually earning over #3,000, and this most interesting fact is probably the boeginning of universal free delivery, nd that would mean countless benefits for rural dwelle Experimontal free delivery officos were cstablished at forty-six places, at thirty nine of which there was shown a total increase of gross receipts amounting to a little over #6,000, while at seven of the oftices thore was u total decrease of gross receipts of $700, leaving a palance of over #5000 of incr of ceipts. A part of this was due to natural growth, but quite as much of it is to bo od to the free delivery. Tuking this result usa busis, the post- muster genoral computes the probable net earnings under lavger appropria- tiong, it being understood that the service would be put on in communi- ties of arens and densities of population similar to that al- ready expervimented with, He prop- erly regards the showing as wonder- ful, and nearly ali the postmasters at the experimental ofiices spenk in praise of tho service and report that it meets with the ungualified approbation of the pawrons of the offices. In advocating the extension of rural free delivery the postmaster general applies to it the practical arguments which distinguish his treatment of all matters connected with the postal service. He urges that the rural dweller pays the sa utes of postage and has the same right to the common postal facilities as the inhab- itant of thé city has. ‘“‘Indeed the postmaster general, *it is yuestion whether, with his paper books and packages that he receives, he does not do more postal business than his city cousin does. Often he mukes many long, disagrecable trips to the postoftice Pwithout result. . Surely if overy trip that he made were to yield him a picce of mail the process would be bad economy, beeause he would be doing almost as much traveling and would consume almost as much time as u single messenger would in serving the whole neighborhood. His local paper, perhaps his city daily, would come regularly without effort on his part, and his whole home life, his information, his inquisit- iveness, his ambition, would be quick- ened.” The extension of free delivery would be of immense value to the business man in the town, tending to stimulate his enterprise and thereby increase his prosperity. The policy also has a social aspect, and in the opinion of the postmaster general *‘the regulur arvival of the paper or magazine, the casicr ways to correspond, the general process of sending and receiving things by mail, will not only keep many of the boys and girls at home and make them contented there, but will add to their ambition and their de- termination to make the od farm pay.” Al the practical con- siderationsare distinctly favorable to the xtension of rural free delivery, first to tricts where there is reasonable prom- ise of the service being self-supporting, and greadually to all accessible commu- S0 gross re ‘nities, until in time the system shall be- come practically universal. When- this is accomplished the postal servico will have become what it was intended to be, a means of prompt and safe communic tion supplying, as far as practicable, equal facilities to all the people. AST HOURS OF MCZAR Munkaczy’s great painting in the art exhibit has been by far its most attrac- tive feature. On the canvas the avtist has portrayed a fact in the life of one of the greatest composers the world has ever known. He actually died compos- ing the “Requiem.” Through its melan- choly strains the lifeof the genius passed from earth. This event occurred oxactly 100 years ago yesterday. It was fitting indeed that the day should have been commemorated by the local association for the encouragement of art. Mozart’s childhood, youth and ewrly manhood were free from care. The precocity of the infant was not outlived by maturity. The child in his case was father to the man, and his artist father proud of the genius of his son, though comparatively poor, guve to the lad all the opportunity needed for the development of the powers of harmony God had implanted in hisslight frame. The hopes of the hoy and the confident anticipations of the father were bright as marvelous ability in the one and clear understand- ing in the other could make them. Manhood alone brought disavpoint- ments, for the inspivations of the artist were in advance of the age in which he lived. His pure soul, his remark- able powers could not be pppreciated by the rabble. Haydn knew his real merit and the lovi father, fuithful wife and a fow soul-friends appreciuted him. His art burnt out his life and his poverty crushed the embers into the quickening flames. He died in absolute want, with his wife too ill to minister to him and was hurried to an unknown pauper’s grave. His 779 known works are nearly all immortal. Ho died at 85, but what a wonderful work he wrought in those brief years! Among all the sad tales of struggling and disapoointed genius none more pathetic than that of the last ten yoars of Mozart’s life have been committed to paper, Salzburg, the birth place of Mozart, is the nursery of the highest genius which the world of harmony has produced, In the little valley where Mozart tirst saw tho light of day Bach, Handel, Hayden, Mozart and Beethoven were born. These Germun masters compose an illustrious quintette, and they mark the golden age of musi Mozart algne of all these noble artists had a pleasant early life, Handel'’s violent father refused to per- wit his son to indulge his passion for music and the lad was forced to steal his instruction, Haydn was poor and neglected. So also was Beethoven, Yet Mozart, equal to any, and in some respects greater than all, was not gifted with thatv essential elerent general | l of a happy life which in modern timos ve call the ability to get on in the world. It was this misfortune of pinch ing poverty which so eruslly erampal the wings of n gonius which undes more favorable circumstances migiht have blessed the world with other and even better melody, Oune cannot real of his puce domestic life, his gonerous, tmpul- sive friondship, his towsring in- difference to the applause of peo- ple and potentates whom he kne w to be of inferior taste, his guileless sim- plicity, his unhappy death in what ought to have been the prime of a lovely beautiful, soul-gatisfying life without a mournful sanse of the ingratituds of the world and the misfortune which somo- times attends the career of the loftiest minda, The sentiments of Amelia Gere Mason in closing an admirable article in the Decomber Century arve well worth rep ing here: “But genius left own imperishable monument, The world still laughs and weeps over Mozart'’s divine creations, when he who would have been gladdened by its sympathy is no longer conscious of it. The inspired singer of Salzburg, who felt 5o keonly and voiced so perfectiy the joys and sufferings of Rumanity, sleeps inan unknown grave, but his sorrowful face looks baek upon us today across the mists of a century erowned with a radi- ant immortulity, though wd in eter- nal tears,” its PROGRESNS IN NAVY BUILDING. It has been fully demonstrated that varships equal to any in the world can be constructed in American ship yards by American builders. The ability to do this is the growth of a fow years, and furnishes a striking illustration of the readiness with which the people adapt themsolves to every demand upon them. When the work of creating a new navy was undertaken during the adminis- tration of President Arthur it would have been impossible w0 construct in this country such an armored vessel as the New Yorke launched u few days ago from the yurd of Cramp & Sons on the Delaware. There was then no American designer who had such knowledge of the details of modern naval architecture as would enable himn to design such a ship, and the plants did not exist in this country necessury to supply the engines, batteries and armor, Even so recently as the Cleveland administra- tion, during which the work of crenting oy made marked progress, it wis deemed expedicnt to purchase foreign designs. But a decided impulso 1 been given to the study of modern naval architecture, with the resuit that overy new ship designed under the present ad- ministration is distinctively American in all vespects, and there have bien es- tablished plants capable of supplying every requirement of a first clas; wav vessel. When it is considered that this attainment of en pering talent and ship building resousces has been accomplished in less than nine years, it veflects the very highest eredit upon American talent, energy and en- terprise. The launching of the New You vogarded in naval cireles us firking u new epoch in the history of the United States navy. When completed sho will be by all odds the greatest warship cver in the navy of this country and one of the greatest in the world. She w.ll be, in fact, the first veally great vessol of a navy which, if carried to comple- tion on the lines now mavked out, will be easily the foremost in tho world. This new addition to the naval force of the country is not what is called a baitle- ship. She is denomivated an ap- mored cruiser. But shoe is some- thing more than is comprehended by that term. She is descuibe a8 both formidable and defens- 1ble, capable of accomplishing a great deal that the battleship may do and of avoiding a greatdeal that tho battle- ship would have to submit to. In a word, while there are few armored cruisers afloat that could withstand her attack, there is not a battleship in the navy of any nation that would have a certainty of vanquishing her. The progress that is being - mude toward the creation of a first-class navy ought to excite the patriotism of every American citizen. It contains the promise that®within a few years the United States will be in a position, not only of complete security against foreign enewmies, but also able to command the respeet of foreign nations and a proper consideration for her rights in ever land, It was said in a recent interview by Secretary Tracy that a ereat com- morcial nation needed a great n ‘The wisdom of this is attested by uni- versal experience, and the American people have not awakened any too soon to its realization, The experience of the past year hus had a most potent influ- ence in convinecing the popular judyment that the time has come when the United ates, us one of the foremost commer- cial nations of the world, seeking con- stantly to extend her trade relations, cannot afford to be without the means to defend her commerce on every son and protect her rights in overy land. MUBILIZING 1HE MILITLA, Goneral Nelson A. Miles in his annual report to the secretary of war and in newspuper interviews suggests the ad- visability of mobilizing the militia of the several states at the Wortd's fair, His theory has not been combatted by any civilian so far as THE BEE has served. On the contrary, his scheme seems to have been very genorally favored. It has been held that such a massing of the citizen soldiery woula be very impressive to our foreign visitors and would stimuluse the o fzation of state militia, The training in the munual of arms and other tactics of war which could be obtained with an army of militinmen massed at Chiengo would be invaluable. Except in time of war the citizen soldier can form no concep- tion of gigantic military movements and cannot be trained successfully to per- form the military duty which war in these days of heavy battulions in- volves. The Army and Navy Register, however, publishes a communication from Los Angoles, Cal., containing an interview with an officer which antagonizes Gen- oral Miles’ view with considerable vigor. The officer argues thatitis lmpos- sible to carry out the plan with suc UNDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1891 -SIXTEE fmul rogards it us impolitic to attompt it | omperor wis | revolution, bat his teader heart ba assurod, Among the rensons advynced for thfs view are the fact that her nor the president has nuthority to order the militin 8uf of the states in which the, e and therefore the mobiliza tion could be effgetod only by consent of the militia organization. unless success can congross state Then days Unless Chicago be nothe would AL Teast 23,000,000, maintenance (in Chicago for ten would involve $2,000,000 more, the men could remain in six months thera would ing gained to scionce by taking them there ‘at "all. The members of the national | guard could not afford to remain away from their civilian occu- pations for that length of time and if they could or would it would he aserious matter in dollars aad cents for the com- munities in which they reside. The militinmen would not b witling to be placed under tho striet military disci- pline or perform the arduous drill work for six wonths, Any uttempt to enfores regular army camp discipline would disorganize them ana they woull abandon theservice. Finally the officer clinches his opposition with the argu- ment that the impression would be bad upon foreigners who are accustomed to military pagoints upon a more extensive scale than the proposed schome cou- templates and our military display would bring us into deservel ridiculo The officer’s objections ave certanly well founded and if given genoral cur- rency will probably demolish the delight- ful air castle General Miles has erected for the citizon soldiers. The pride of America is in the fact that a man can travel from Maine to Califorcin without ng an armed ssldier ana possibly without seeing a military uniform. We will probubly roceive more credit from our visitors if we conline World’s fair to an exhibit of the achievements of peace and utilize only such portions of the army and navy as can be spared from garrison and sea duty for tha naval and military display. cost so¢ our COUNCIL BLUFFS, The Couacil Bluffs newspapess have been more than usuall The press of Omaha b juently pressed the belief that Council Biaffs is today next to Dos Moines the most populous city in Towa, although Sup. intendent Portor’s census figures r gate it Lo aomuch lower rank, Tw Bewe has not faited ty spank well of Couneil Bluffs.

Burlington & Quiney Railroad com pany. On June 13, 1801, o complaint was filed with the sceretaries, fu which 1t was allegen that on April 16, 1801, thoro was o duly established and lafa out thoroughfare known as Oak stroot, extending through the entire length of said village, north and south; tuat the railway tracks and right of way of the defendant compauy crossed said strost at right angles about the ceunter of the same; that on April 16, the dofendant company was duly notified to put in a suitable crossing over its right of way at the place where said vight of way crosses Oalk stroot; that the company had refused to put in said crossing, althouzh Oak street was one of tho most i 1y settled and convenient streets ot the Onits part. tho company replied that the street referred to never extended the entire lenizth of the viliage: that when it purchased its right of way thero had boon no street 1aia out across the said right of wav: and that tho proposed crossing would cui through tho depot. grounds and over several flerent tracks and switchways and at the closo to where the tracks make a con nection, consequently it would bo impracti- cavle to operate the said line of railroad at the station zrounds without serious danger to life and property After reviewing tho evidenco and the law tho secretavies wore of the opirton that “‘the village auttorities have no power to lay out and open a street through the depot grounds of a railroad whero said street would necossari,y jnterfere with the proper operation at tkat point.” and that ‘“this board has no jurisdiction, for the reason that the guestion of public safoty does not enter into 1t, and we therefore recommend that the action,be dismissed for wantof jurisdiction,” Ba ws' County Heavd From, At a recont meoting of tho State Board of Transvortation Doss ~ Burrows of Gage county made a speoch in which ho mado the somewhat extraordinary statement that if a favmer wero presentod with a well stocked farm in Gago county and a bank account of 1,000, ut the ond of tou years ho would bo badly'n debtand on hi3 way to the poor house. The prosperity of tho farmors of Gase county gives theabove statement i staggering, back handed swipe. During tho month of November the Gage county farmers 1d 0ff eighty farm movtgages, agierogating 0,708, Thove aro eighty farmers in county, at least, who can read their titles clear to their homes and who aro in no dan- zerof teaveling tho road to the poor farm. During the samo time forty-six farm mort- gawes wers filed, ageregating $H7,837. All this was done in a county in which the Bur- 1ows asserted a farmer could not make a living. Schrader, stho veprosentative of Logan county in tho last legislatare, was anothier calamity orator. In his county there has not been a farm mortgage foreclosed for oight months, and the excess of mortgazes re- leased over thoso filod is a flattering indica- tion of the returning prosyerity to Nebraska 5 farmers. ¢ Some Interesting Litigation.

The caso is both interosting and important, inasmich as it involvos tho title to a part of the town of Central City, in Mer- county.

According to the terms of the contract the interest on the vrice pmd for the lands was vegalarly paid by Hulco or in his name until January, 155 when tho principal bocamo due. Then' upon the rofusal of Hulco to vay the prineipal the | coutract was cancelled and the land resold orleased 10 James (. Holden. Now comes the Joops with the assertion that the original contract hiad been assigned to them. In hi answor Attorney Geueral IHastings denies the claim because it has nover been u matter of record. in the Suneen surt, But one case was filed with the clerk of the supreme court today.
