8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 1895. T e A R ————, WHAT OUGHT T0 BE DONE Views of Looal Pankers on the Financial Legis'ation Needed, CO?! S:DERABLE DIVERSITY OF SENTIMERT Continnance of Mond Issues Not Though Advisable—Opinions Kespected & Pop Iar Loan—Retirement of Greenbacks —Senator Al Omala bankers are not failing to watch elosely congressional action with reference to | the currency question. In view of certain recent suggestions made at Washington in this connection, a number of the local bankers were seen yesterday and asked to again exprese opinions as to what the pres- ent financial stress made necessary and their gentiment regarding the idea of a popular | loan. President C. W. Hamilton of the United States Natlonal says the greenbacks must be retired at the earliest possible moment, To this end the government should issue $500,- 000,000 in bonds, bearing interest at 2% per cent, and offer them to the banks, to which should have the privilege of increasing their cireulation to the par of the bonds bought The money thus obtained by the government #lould be used to take up the greenbacks The new should be in the de nominations of $10 and multiples thereof. This would afford an opportunity for the circulation of silver certificates of small de- neminations. Mr. Hamilton looks upon a popular loan with no favor. Recent sales of bonds have been mere makeshifts, and he would expact no permanent relief through a popular loan “The chief cause of our distress just now,” says he, that the silver men control corgress, and will allow ndthing to be done that will permanently remedy the dificulty.” Mr. J. H. Millard, president of the Omahu National, commends highly Senator Allison's plan, This is to fssue legal tende chequer notes, bearing 2 or 2% per o terest, which could be used by the for a reserve instcad of gold. Bankers would take these freely and give gold for them. “My bank would take $200,000 or $300,000 in such notes tomorrow,” said Mr. Millard. A popular loan wouid have no special ter- rors for Mr. Millard, He thinks it might not be a bad idea for the government to ask for a loan of $100,000,000 or $200,000,- 000, or enough to supply present needs, the bonds to be 3 or 8% per cent, and in small denominations, so that the people of com- paratively limited means could handle them as well as larger investors. The popular loan idea | Mr. Frank Murphy, president of the Mer- chants National just about the right thing. He thinks the amount might be $200,000,000 or §300,000,000, and the rate of interest 3 per cent. Indied, he says he is convinced this is the only way out of the difficulty, and he believes Omaha could respond to a call of this kind to the amount of about $500,000. President H. W. Yates of the Nebraska National would like to sce the present legal tender notes converted into long and short time interest-bearing notes. Banks would rather have them, because they would be more valuable than gold. popular loan,’” said Mr. Yates, “‘would not, in my opinion, be a success, and it would involve the con- traction of the capital of the country to the amount of the loan if all the bonds were sold, and that would be detriment, for we need an expansion of capital rather than a con- traction. If the bonds were in such shape that they could be made the basis for circu- lation then they might be bought, but cer- tainly not for investment.” With President C, W. Lyman of the Com- mercial National the main features of the Baltimore plan remain well liked. Some- hing very much lie (his he believes should be adopted, congress taking care to provide security for the extra circulation the banks would be allowed to Issue. Further issue of bonds, he says, would be useless, as by this method the gold reserve could not be propped up for any great length of time. — —— circulation in the opinion of That Old Reaper, Father time, who “reaps the bearded grain at a breath, and the flowers that grow between," spares for a green and hale old age those who counteract the infirmities incident to increas- ing years with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.

' When the litigation over the award of the contract for the paving of Sherman avenue was first started the Barber people, in their fight to prevent the award of the contract to Hugh Murphy, the lowest bidder, set up 5 one of their allegations that Mr, Murphy td nol state fm Wis bid fhe source from which he was to secure the asphalt to be used on the street. The courts held that this was not a sufficient reason for the rejection of the contract, as Mr. Murphy agreed to give a bond which would guarantee that the pavement would be as good as any asphaltum laid in the city of Omaha, Since the settlement of the controversy by the courts Mr. Murphy announces the source of the asphaltum he will use in the contract. He will use the California as- phaltum and says that it 1s superior to any asphaltum used In this country for paving purposes. He cites as an fllustration the pavement on Twenty-fourth strect in South Omaha. This pavement was lald in freezing weather by inexperienced workmen, but It has stood the test of the heaviest trafiic and is today the best piece of as- phaltum pavement in this part of the coun- y. + While the fight against the Barber as- phalt monopoly fs new in Omaha it has been going on in other cities of the country for some time, When the development of the asphalt business was first begun by the laying of the pavement in Washington o syndicate got togither and leased from the government of Trinidad what is known as Pltch lake in the island of Trinidad, and for years afterward no bidder except the Barber company could secure contracts for asphalt paving, as that company alone had the right to use the- Pitch lake, which is really a bog. The fact 1s that but little of the asphaltum used came from the lake or bog, but the Barber company secured the adoption of specifications all over the country calling for asphaltum from the Pitch lake. Three years ago the Omaha Board of Public Worlks removed the Pitch lake clause from the specifications for asphalt paving and opened the way to competition on that kind of pay- ing. Mr. Murphy's bid is the first really competitive bid that the Barber people have not been able to sidetrack. In’' Denver the Board of Public Works refused to consider Petitions in which the petitioners had des'z nated asphaltum from Pitch lakg, or any bids except those simply Galling for strect asphaltum. The résult was that Denver this Ycar had asphaltum pavement lald at §$2.30 per square yard, against the Barber com- pany’s bid of $315. Like results have been attained tn Philadelphia, Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, Salt Like and Peoria, and in all Bf these cities the result was obtained only after the same course of litigation and argu- ments that is now going on in Omaha. Mr. Murphy says that he is anxious to have the present case promptly pushed to a final hearing in the courts, so that he may begin work under his contract as soon as the weather will permit. As the lowest responsi- ble bidder, he insists upon his rights to enter into’ competition with the asphalt monopoly and promises to give the city and property owners the best asphaltum pave- ment they have ever had at a very big re- duction over prices formerly pald. i Shilol's Cure Is sold on & guarantee.

Chicago, Frank Crane's Advice to Laborers In Cone tests with Corporation The Brooklyn street car strike the theme of Rev. furnished Frank Crane’s prelude to workingmen last evening. It was an appeal for lawful methods on the part of labor in all contests with corporations. Said he: “It is claimed that the labor unions are not responsible for the depredations that ac- company these strikes. They declare that it is the mob of riff-raff that does these things. Let us assume that this is true. It then follows that the labor unions themselves should be the very first to call on the gov- ernor of the state to suppress this lawless riff-raff, It Mr. Debs and his co-workers really had nothing to with the burning of cars and the killing of “scabs” in Chicago they should have been the first to welcome the military power to put down these hood- lums who were bringing disgrace upon their cause. The labor unfons must either assume the responsibility of the violence attending the strike or welcome the effort of the lawful powers of the country to restrain that vio- ence. “Organized labor is never going to get the confidence of this country until it shows not only by word, but by action, that it is op- posed to violent methods. The people hate the tyranny of corporations, but they prefer it to tyranny *of mobs. The thing most needed today is for the laborer to show that e can fight his battles as lawtully as capl- al. “Laboring men, the heart of this age is with you. "All the teachings of that Chris- tianity which is the soul of our civilization are on your side. All the altrufstic senti- ments of the Anglo-Saxon race burn for your deliverance, The greatest teachers of politi- cal economy In our universities are your out- spoken friends. The preachers of tho gospel almost to a man are anxious to stand by your side” fn the battle for justice. That old British love of fair play that is an ingredient of our blood is your great helper. You have only one thing to do to bring all of these tremendous force into sympathy and co- operation with you. And’ that one thing Is a show, not by word only, but by deed and unmistakable evidence, that you have nelther sympathy nor support for any movement that professes to be in your favor, yet which countenances acts that are unlawful, violent or unjust. Rise from the narrow plane of contention and strife. Take your stand upon the broad rights of man.” FROM SOUTH OMAHA, Not a single person has been arrested by the police since the 23d.

AMUS, “A Green Goods Man,” made known yes- terday at the Empire theater, Is a decidedly promising youngster, in view of the fact that it entered on its fifth week with yes- terday's performances. There is a decided up-to-dateness about it, Tammany hall, the laying of the tiger, the Lexow investiga- tion, and the green goods swindle affording large opportunity for clever satire and hu- morous situations, which Paul Dresser, the author-actor. has most intelligently appre- clated. There are rough edges to be rounded in this newest farce comedy, action must be accelerated In some particulars, | and minor situations brought forward more prominently, but for 0 new a comedy the play made a very blg hit yesterday, due largely to the excellence of the company, which includes mot only aul Dresser, who s the biggest comedian on the _stage, but Maxwell, who was with “A Texas Steer” and “A Hole in the Ground" for years. Ben Dillon, a well mown Irish character actor, Robert Vernon, 1) C. Job- son, Miss Effle Dinsmore, Miss Jennie Sat- terlie, whose Irish women have been fa. miliar to the stage for a decade, and sey- | eral other clever girls, who appear in a lot of new things. Paul Dresser has not permitted himself to monopolize the stage at every turn, but has made his part of Herman Blatz, which 1s a_counterpart of Tammany’s police judge, Patrick Divver, harmonfous with the other char- acters essential to the telling of the story Barry Maxwell exploits the dusty Roads and Weary Walkers, now so common with the comic papers, playing a tramp character with a_great deal of ability. E. C. Jobson has a hit in the Astor tramp who slept in John Jacob's bed, but a hit that stands out as one of the very best things seen In a character way this season. It s exceed- ingly clever because of its truthfulness. John Parr has a good tenor voice, which is heard in a number of new songs. Effic Dinsmore and Jennie Satterlee are both ex- cellently cast, and add greatly to the strength of the company. “A Green Goods Man' can hardly be said to bo even farce comedy; it {s a character study, purely, exaggerating the men and women scen in New York day by day, and as such gives promise of belng a winner. It won favor vesterday and bas virility enough seemingly to last the season. T8, Barry to Joseph Murphy ended his engagement at Boyd's last night with the production of “Kerry Gow,” a play which has been in his repertoire for years and which brought him into prominence as an Irish comedian. Mr. Murphy shows little change in years and his annual visitations are sure of pleasing a certain element of society, which cannot be said to be theater goers in the strict sense. He fills his niche, and will until some new delineator of the Irish character shall rise into prominence. Mrs. Jennle Kimball registered at the Millard. Mrs. Kimball re- celved a dispatch yesterday conveying the intelligence that Arthur King, a member of the company who was sick at St. Paul, had died in the hospital at that place. Mrs. Kimball immediately wired to friends in St. Paul to have the remains of the unfortunate singer sent to his home in the east and she would stand all expenses. and Corinne are A rare and attractive style of dramatic diversion is announced for Boyd's theater the first three nights of this week, opening | tonight, wher the Kimball Opera Comique company, headed by the talented artist, Corinne, will be seen in Gill and Frazer's clever operatic extravganza, ‘“‘Hendrick Hudson."” These two authors have achieved a prom- inent success in this fleld. This, their lat- est effort, is sald to be the best work they have done. ‘“‘Hendrick Hudson” Is a clever dramatic creation that invades alike the realms of comedy, music and specialty and extravaganza. The title role gives to Corinne dramatic opportunities for which her beauti- ful face and shapely form are especially suited. The play Is impregnated with mu- sic of an excellent quality, and for this season all the fun action has been brought thoroughly up to date. The company of sixty people who will pre- sent the play are said to be even stronger than last season. Willard Simms, the ec- centric comedian, who contributed largely to the fun last year, is one of this season’s cast, as are also several other of the pop- ular fun makers. Mrs. Kimball has spared no expense to make the staging of this season’s production most elaborate, and in the staging and cos- tuming much elaborateness is promised. The ensemble songs, dances and marches are promised to be of extravagant descrip tion, and will be participated in by a corps of shapely young ladies. A large advance sale is now in progress for this attraction. Morrison's “Faust” is underlined for a four night engagement at the Empire, commenc- ing with Sunday matinee, February 3. The version of Goethe's great work which is presented was made by Boyle Barnard of London. The general arrangement of the scenes follow closely that made familiar by Mr. Irving, but it should be said that there is no evidence of any attempt to copy the product of the English manager One of the features of the production will be the Nuremburg theater choir, rendering appropriate music throughtout the plece. The Brocken scene in the fourth act is a marvel of stage craft, with its electrical and general scenic effects. EVERYTHING BUT FIRST WARD. Councilmanic Kickers' Club Holds a General « Meeting with Hascall to Lead. The First Ward Improvement club held a meeting Saturday night and discussed pretty thoroughly a few of the things wanted by the people located in that section of the city lying south of the railroad tracks, This being one of the first mectings held not a great many were in attendance, but notwithstanding the small crowd, a good por- tion of which was composed of councilmen and ex-councilmen, rather a lively meeting was held. Councilman Back occupied the chair, and called for a full discussion on the proposed improvements which his constituents desired should be made in that part of the city. Ernest Stuht mildly took Counciman Gor- don to task for not declaring himself on the Sherman avenue paving contract, which was last week. Mr. Gordon, in reply to Mr. Stuht, stated that he had favored the posts poning of action for a week, but as the con- tract had been let he thought it all right. He also stated the contract and bids had not been submitted to the seven new members before the night it was passed, He thought 1t poor policy for the councilmen of the First and Second’ wards to oppose improvements affecting only other parts of the city when it was desired that they be anade. Ex-Councilman Thomas Lowry gave his experience concerning the c'ty hall foundation deal and how the asphalt repairing contract was let, and stated it was his belief that the original repair contract had been re- placed by another before it reached the mayor for his signature, The real business of the evening and the object of the meeting was not fully under- stood until Tsaac Hascall got the members in ing order. He stated that it was the desire of the First ward people that the street car service in the south end of the city should be improved and that the street car company should extend its lines south on Sixth, Tenth and Thirteenth streets to River- view park, and the tracks on Eleventh stre: be taken up and the viaduct repaired, to be used only for vehicle travel, making Bleventh street a nice driveway, and it could be done without any damage to any one on that street. Mr. Hascall also wanted the First and Becond ward councilmen to use their efforts in getting the sewerage system ex- tended east of Riverview park in order that nothing but pure water would be contained | numb in the lake in the park Councllman Kment agreed with Mr, Has- call, and it was mgreed that the two wards would work together in order to accomplish these desired improvements. Mr. Stuht wamted to discuss the union depot proposition dand see if it could not be located at the present site. This proposition, it was decided, should be discussed at some later date. A ‘meeting of the First and Sec- ond wards will be held at the same place, 1016 South Elevemth street, one week from last night, — TO BHE EDITOR, Where Retorm is Sadly Needed.

Profitable Game Worked Eharper. The postoffice authorities at Cleveland, 0., have caused the arrest of Elijah Robinson, editor of the Ladies' Monthly Gem, on the charge of using the mails to defraud. Robinson conducted a masked lottery in connection with his paper. “‘Gold” watches were offered as prizes for solutions of riddles by a Cleveland and puzzles, but the winners were requested | to pay variou delivered. The evidence collected by Inspector Fleming leads him to believe that the swindle Is one of the most daring undertakings ever brought notice, Robinson's _express which he secured, showed 348 entries, rep- resenting the expressing of 348 watches, which were perfectly worthless in eve sense of the word. According to the express company, this is the only book used by Rob- inson, all shipments made previous De- cember the date of the final entry, having been receipted on loose blanks. It is fair to presume that the numbgr receipted for in this manner was compaMtively small. Fol lowing cut a calculation based upon the num ber of letters confiscated by the postal au- thorities, Mr. Fleming concludes that every twentieth watch paid for was delivered, the other nineteen remittances pocketed by the editor, and the remitters ignored Judging from the tenor of the communications con- tained In unsealed letters and on postal cards the majority of victims sent tho “Gem" $6.76 for the watch that came or did not come, as the case might have been. Therefore, a fair average for the sum pald for watches in the neighborhood of As express receipts shipment of about watch in twenty men argued that stupendous, before his receipt book is were taken for the 00 watches, and only one orders delivered, the postal Robinson has netted a sum in the neighborhood of $50,000. This does not inciude the 30 cents remitted in the na- ture of an option on the watch. Money re- ceived in this way probably aggregates into the thousands, Mr. Fleming thinks the scheme had hardly begun to meet the anticipations of the oper- ator, in fact, figuratively speaking, he nipped it in the bud.
