OWING to o failure on the part of
property owners on several of the
cross streets to properly designsto the
paving material desired, the city coun.
oil have taken the matter in their own
hands, and advertised for bids for
block stone and asphalt. This is using
the discretion given them by the re-
vised charter to good advantage. The
Sioux Falls stone contractors, as we
understand 1t, are willing to go
below their bid for paving Tenth
street, and Mr.. Barber can
doubtless shave with profit the
figures which he gave on Douglas
street. Both are good pavements, with
the advantage for durability on the
side of stone block, partly Offset by
that of s%moothness and chespness on
the part of asphalt. At the same price
for each, our cltizsnH would undoubt.
eddy prefer stone blocks. But If the

City Council,

A petition from F. SlAven and
twenty-five others, asking that VIM.

pensation, referred to committee on

A resolution was adopted instruct
Ing the street commissioner to employ
his entire force on day to filling wash
outs and widening approaches to the
bridge on Saunders street.
The judiciary committee reported
recommending the passage of the gen.
eral appropriation ordinance without
amendment. But as the ordinance
appropriates $3.50. SO out Of the sewer
bond series for filling North Omaha
creek, It was recommended that this
amount be transferred from the pro-
ceeds of the sale of bonds to sewer
bond fund series one. Report
adopted.

they had carefully c~sisidered the

amendments: At the end of line %,

GENERAL sHERIDANs VISIT.

General Sheridan's visit to Omaha,
although It's object was not oommuni-
Gated to the press, Is destined, We be.
lleve, to prove Of great Importance to
the city. For one thing, it removes
oil fears as to the abolition of the dc.
partment of the Platte for which the
delegations of Minnesota end Kansas
have been working for several years
past. The general had no hesitation
In declaring his opposition to any such
movement and gave satisfactory assur.
apces that his interest In military mat.
ters In this section of his division
would not decrease when he assume
charge of the army In November next.
Itmsy be utatedin general terms that
as a result of General S%heridsn's visit
the number Of troops In this depart
mont will immediately DO increased
and that measures will shortly be
taken to enlarge and improve at
least two OF our frontier posts.
Ssv cal thousand dollars will be ex.

tions Of the officers and men there

General Howard 10 non.commital
on the results of General Sheridap's
Visit, but If we are not greatly mis-
taken, Is entirely satisfied that several
of his recommendations made last
fall will be carried into effect. We
venture the guess that Fort Bridger
will be increased In capacity and that
Fort Sidney will DO enlarged for the
headquarters Of an infantry
regiment, probably the Four
teenth. That would transfer the
headquarters of the Fifth to Fort
Mckinney and mass the Ninth at
Fort Russell. Al far SO can be learned
Fort Thornburgh will not be con-
struoted this summer, although sever
al companies OF the SIKH infantry
will remain on the grounds until fall.

tests against the Increase In the IL.
cense for such shows from 500 to

cd in Council Bluffs. 1t Gays that
circuses benefit our city because they
draw into town a great many people
from the country who spend their
money with our local merchants. We
advise the editor of the Republican to
interview our leading retail merchants
on this question. Every circus that
strikes Omaha takes from eight to ten
Thousand dollars out of this city and
Douglas county. OF that sum nine
tenths comes out Of Omaha.
and represents the surplus, spending
money of several thousands of our
citizens. Retail dealers, who ought to
know, declare that trade Is dull for a
week after every circus, and that the
increase of their re ceipts on the day
Of the show Is trIHing. The country
people, who como into town, spend
their money IN the circus grounds,
and the crowd from the city
spend money for the show which
would otherwise be distributed among
our own merchants.
Where there Ia one dollar left With
our tradesmen as the reRult of a circus
In town, there Is hun
dred spent on the circus
grounds, and taken out of the
city. 1t is only fair and reasonable
that the circus license should be fixed
at q figure which will compel these
travelling exhibitions to leave with our
school fund some of the money which
they collect from our people.
SO far as the o, EZRA house license Is
concerned, we have nothing to add to
what we have already said. Mr.. Boyd

with which his business enterprise ha,

CALIFORNIA Is thoroughly aroused
over the perfdy of her railroad COM

excite the people are scarcely less sub
stantial than those which have aroused
the dominant anti.monopoly senti'
ment In Nebraska. Figures have been
published to prove that for doing less

York Central does the Central Pacific
exscts two-thirds as much from the

with about 80 per cent of Its business,
but Its citizens are charged twice as
high rates as the through traffic pays.
The Central Pacific owns lands within
the etate Of California valued at $751;
600, coo. The road Zoe not pay one
cent Of tax on this land to the state
mol to any county. When to all thii
are added the determinations between
