been attempting to throw the blame
Of this transaction upon Assistant SEQ.

The question Is now one of veracity

Teller had been attempting to carry

q two-thirds majority will be necessary
under the law to carrythe sewer bond,
while paving bonds can be voted by q
bare majority.
The sewer bond proposition calls for
the completion of the north and south
Omaha sewers, the extension of the
north Omaha sewer to the military
bridge and Of the st. Mary's avenue
sewer to Farnsm and Twentieth
streets. In addition It will provide
for the construction of storm water
sewers to relieve the plateau between
Harvey and lizard and Seventeenth
streets, and the river Of the surplus
surface water. All these improve
ments are greatly needed ss prelimi-
nary to the development Of our general
system Of public improvements. More
important still, they are demanded by
tho sanitary condition of our city.
We need to cut down the number of
deaths from typhoid fever and
diptheria and other malarial diseases
which follow the track of the badly

Days OF Monopoly.

Lays OF
Buffalo Express.
These are evidently the days Of mo.
nopoly. The electric lighting bust.
ness, new ~ II Is, seems tc have
reached q very advanced form Of con.
~solidstion. We yesterday received an
important printed notice from "The
Grsmme electrical company" in which
the shareholders are the American
electric company Of New Britain,
Conn. the Brush electric company of
Cleveland, o., the Edison electric
light company of New York, the
Jsblochkof electric lighting company
OF New York, the United States cleo.
trio lighting company of New York,
the Fuller electrical company Of
New York, and the Weston
lectric light company of New
ark, N. J.. The notice
was to the effect that the Gramme
company, which includes the seven
other companies, controls the great
number of 400 U. S. patents on cleo
trio lighting, and that the
rights of the %patentees will
be legally enforced by the
said Gramme Company against any
person or persons infringing the same.
Having no intention of infringing, We
felt no alarm at the warning circular,
but 1t has certainly all the outward
seeming of a formidable document.
The mere list OF patents, with their
titles, dates, and numbers, covers
eleven pages. The first one was taken
out by Farmer, December, 1865. the
last one by Maxim, December, 1882
Edison's first n vas April, 1879, his
last November, 1882, and the whole
number credited to him in the list of
400 is l49. Brush got his first patent
April, 1877, his last October, 1882,
and has thirty.six altogether.
Weston took out his first pat.
emit July, 1876, his latest December,
1882, and he has sixty.fve In
this list. Farmer, who began the
list In 1865, and was still taking out
electric light patents In October, 1882,
has ten of the patents owned by
the Gramme company credited to him.
There are forty-one Maxim patents,
four Jablochkof, ten Waterhouse, and
80 on, but only one set down to the
inventor Gramme, from whom the
company takes It's name, and that one
is In partnership with ~d'Ivernois. 1t
Is, however, probably the controlling
patent of the list, for it covers the
dynamo. electric machine invented in
1871. This oompany's list of patents
is q wonderful record of invention,
but the consolidation of their control
In n concern will probably retard the
cheapenlng and popularizing of the
electric light.

EGuHOmlV Eb llOr.
Every congressional session adds to
tho volume Of our national education.
The press with it's millions of sheets
scattered daily Into home and work
shop, brings to the people OF all
Glasses the records OF the debates,
intimations of public policy and q
constant discussion Of the economic
problems Of the time. Men
and measures are criticised and
the public Is placed In possession of
q vast amount of facts upon which to
base their own conclusions.
The long debate over tariff revi-
sion la the late congress and Its dis
cussion Ia the press, had q marked eff
feet In educating public opinion and
In materially changing public senti-
ment in regard to protection. 1t
brought out facts on one hand and
admissions on the other, which
amounted to q revelation to the peo.
Pile.
For years every demand for tariff
reduction was resisted on the ground
that q reduction of duties on imports
would paralize our industries and
throw out of employment millions of
American workingmen. The country
has at last taken the risks of indus
trial disaster, because failures, lock-
outs and reductions In wages in spite
Of high tariffs, have taught them that
manufacturing industries unduly boil
stored cannot sustain permanent and
profitable vigor.
Other grave problems which have
pushed themselves to the front
have become subjects Of grave public
concern.
Questions affecting society are now
discussed in the United States as they
have never been before. The work.
Ing class In nj country Is q thinking
and a voting class, and they r begin.
ming to realize that In q large measure
they have within their power the
solution Of the national welfare. The
growth Of monopoly is the most
economical tendency of our
times. Sooner or later The problem
will present itself how the undue
aggregation Of property oan best be
prevented. All the Efforts of legisla.
ton up to the present time have been
strained to protect capital at the ex
.ense Of labor, and now labor Is de-.
handing protection from the tyranical
power of aggregated capital. The
real anarchists of u country are
the speculative capitalists who disre-
gard all property rights to roll up
their ill-gotten millions and who

They are forcing an economic educa.
ton upon the people that will oom
pei the masses to devise measures for

regard Of popular rights by our
great railroad and industrial
monopolists, the open s~uborning
Of our Legislatures and judiciary, the
