The bill should have been allowed and the amount deducted from the coronor’s fees Tue building inspector of South Omaha has completed his annual report and it shows that 824 permits were issued ns ngainst 201 last year, The total cost of tho buildings last year, however, ex- ceoded $1,000,000 while the total this yoar is but $326,000. There is a good feature in the showing, however, which must not be overlooked and that is the 824 buildings are almost all resideuces and represent a large increase of pop- ulatio PRESIDENT HARRISON'S refusal to pardon Hurper, the former president of the Fidelity Sa¥ings bank of Cincinnati, who was sentenced to ten years’ impris- onment for embezzlement in 1887, will meet with popular approval. The peo- ple of this country want to see a fow more swindling bank officers punished before leniency is extended to those slready in durance vile. The term of ten years will let this particular old scoundrel off ensy enough. GOVERNOR-ELECT FLOWERhas given directions that the ceremonies in con- nection with his inauguration, January 1, shall bo as simple as possible. It was proposed by those having charge of the arrangements to make the occasion memorable for the grandeur of the dis- play, but Mr. Flower would permit nothing of this kind, and following his suggestion the event will be notable for its lack of show and demonstration. The governor-elect of New York has not been suspected of the modesty which this would imply, but it is none the less creditable to him if sincere. He will hardly escape the suspicion, however, of using the opportunity to impress tho people with the idea that although the possessor of millions his tastes and sym pathies are altogether democratic, and therefore of posing for political effect, It ia veally probable, however, that Mr. Flower sincerely desives to have us little demounstration as possible when he is inducted into office, and that no ulterior motive in directing simplicity shall be observed at Inauguration, has that his city government the authorities should selact men of honesty, sobriety, capabil- ity, experience and industry. There are a host of applicants for the places at tho disposal of the mayor snd other eity officers and it goes without saying that from them a first class man can be ob- tained for each position. A4 CONFLICU OVER APPROPRIATIONS. It is statod that Chairman Holman of the house committee on appropriations has announced his intention to cut down the appropriations for next yoar $118,- 000,000, It is by no means improbable that the Indiana cconomist that he can accompligh this, and that he will make a very determined offort to do 80 is not to be doubted. But. Mr, Hol- man’s committee does not have control of all appropriations. The more im- portant ones, that is, those careying the largest amounts, ave under its jurisdic- tion, but there are several other commit- tees of the house whose priviloge it is to report appropriation bills independently of the committes of which Mr. Holman is the head, and these may be expectad to uct with small regard for the wishes of that gentleman. FHis appointiaent was of course designed to assure the country that econormy is to be the wateh- word of the present congress, and all other committees authorized to submit appropriation bills will be more or less nfluenced by this fact, but it does not necossarily follow that they will be guided strictly by the extrems econom- | ical viows of tha chairman of the appro- | priations committes. [t has even boen { suggestod that he will havo difieulty in | getting all of his democratic committes | coliengues to concur in his plans of trenchmant. There is very great probability, there- | fore, amounting almost to certainty, that there will be more or less conllict | among the democrats of vhe house over appropriations. The billi over which the regular committes has jurisdiction are six in number, and the estimated total amount under them for the noxt fiscal year, to be provided by tho pres- | s, (8 a littlo than $220,- | 000,000, Manifostly it will be impossi: | ble for Mr. Holman to this | amount by the sum he iss1id to have de- ded upon as the which this con- | gress must make in appropriations. By much the largest itom ho will havo to doal with is that for pansions, estimated | at $1147,000,000, and he will havaly bo | able to offect any matorinl v here. T'he estimates tor tho bills of avhich his committee will have rge nmount to abo (400,000, and unless thase estimates sxtreaordi narily extravagant, and they aggrogate but little more than the amount priated for the current fiscal - year, thoy | helieves ro- ent congr loss raduce out | duction other five appro- 1n the least impairing the usofulness of the geological survey, and congress will have no difficulty in finding these. It was a good purpose for wiich the sur- vey was instituted, but there has beon a porsistent and successful effort to en- largo the scopo of its operations, and it is time it were brought back to its orig- inal object and functions. Tr finding of the courts 1n the New York election cases gives the control of the senate of that state to the democrats, and is therefore a trinmph for Governor Hill. The new legislature of New York is thus made democratic and will be under the domination of Tammany. It will have the duty of redistricting tho state, and a radical change from the ex- isting arrangement will undoubtedly be made, both as to congressional and 1 islative distri It has been suggested that it might provide a new plan for the choice of presidential electors, cither adopting the Michigan method or pro- viding for their election by the legisla- ture, and it will not be surprising if one of these plans shall be adopted—more likely the latter than the former, if the Tammany-Hill combine can have its way. This legislature will also elect a successor to Senator Hiscock, so that after 1893 New Yorlk will bo represented in the United States senate by two democrats. Governor Hill will not fail to cluim for himsell whatever credit there may be connacted with Lhis vesult, and it is very likely to strengthen his following. At any rate it is certuin to make him stronger in the admiration and confidence of Tammany, and that is now the ruling power in New York democracy. Hill has now a firmer grasp than ever on the democratic mu- chine in his state, and it will be strang if he doss not control the delegation in the next national convention. ) BUsINESS methods Yn the manage- | ment of our city and county affairs will taxpayers | domore to save money for than spurts of false cconomy in tension of public wou the ex- thousand dollars for a the valud of the IMTEEN #12,000 lot Byron Reed library pduces sum.
