HASTE MAKES WASTE.
The Suspicious Attempt to Hurry Up
tho Abandonment OF Union
Avenue.

There seems TO be q great deal OF
hurry on the part of the few who want
the city to give the Union Pacific the
right of way over Union avenue The
NonpareI, which always speaks the
| will of the Union Pacific, and acts as
Its servant, fairly begs the city ooun.
Gil not to delay In the matter, bat de.
eide at once. In so important 8 mat.
ter such haste as is urged Is unaeemly,
especially when the proposal made
seems to be largely In favor Of therail.
way company and so little to the sdvsn
tsgs of the city. Time shall be taken
to get at all the fsctr. and to under.
stand the situation thoroughly. AS
has been already shown, the city,
wanting o broad, direct and cay
driveway to the transfer, spent mouey
In securing 1t, buying the Land and
paying thousands If dollars ia i'm
proving II. The city ia called upon
now to give this valuable property as
a roadbsd for the Union Pacific TO run
q dummy on, and what does the city
gain In ~return2 The convenience Of
having the dummy start from Broad.
way instead Of the depot. Simply
that, nothing more. Is this conven-
fence worth the thousands of dollars 1t
will COST
There seems thur far no assurance
that the dummy wi, make any more
frequent trips or that the fare viii be
less There seems no prospect of as-
tracing any more people into the
heart Of Council Bluffs than now,
Transients going through the city will
run up to Broadway and then back to
the local depots n the transfer. Bat
few more Omaha people will be In
ducsd to visi: this city, or to make
more frequent trips, because they
could ride up to Bsoadw way on q dunn
my train instead of 3 street car. There
could be little saving In time unless
the dummy was allowed to
run at . faster speed than would
be safe to run inside the city limits.
In fact there has not YET been pse-
sented any very great advantages for
the city, In proportion to the amoun.
OF money which the city has to viz.
tuAlly psy to seeurs whatever CON.
%venienee might sriso fran the change.
Since 80 much opposition has devsl.
opsd against giving up Uuion avenue,
these has been talk Of giving the
Union Pacific some othe. street. The
prisciple Il the sAms. Shall or oan
the city give up to railways streets
for whish It has paid money,
and on whion II has spent
money! L. 1t . good policy for the
city to pursuef Is IL ~justioe to the
property ownors whose property 1.
thus deprecated or made valueless7
With such grave questions and so
much at stake, 1t looks Suspicious In
deed to see o few men trying to get
the council to jump into the scheme
they have laid, and to protest against
time being spent In investigating the
facts and thinking of the results.
Let the matter be we'll considered,
thoroughly discussed and calmly
decided. Let the citizens be heard
az well as railwry eff and their
servants.

How He Turned cut In washington
Lately.
A Washington correspondent thus writes:
Here is a picture of Conkiing as seen on the
streets of Washington not many days ago,
on his way to the Patent Office to argue a
case before the commissioner. He was
dressed in black coat aud vest with dark
grey trowsers, and walking at the head of IA
small procession. For the first time within
the memory of any man in Washington he
wore upon his grey-yellow silk curls huge
silk hat with u widely rolling brim. He
moved up the sidewalk with all the slowness
and splendor of a new circus chariot. Be
hind him came his secretary, modest-look-
ing little fellow, loaded down with books
and papers. Then came five boys stagger-
ing under more books stuffed in green bags.
Then came the associate counsel, two oi
them "two abreast" The procession was
arranged as follows
Citizen Roscoe Conkliug.
Citizen Conkling's secretary.
Citizen ConkHng's private papers.
First messenger with books.
Four messengers with books.
Associate counsel, two abreast
1t was fully i've minutes passing single
point. A more imposing procession haS moi
been seen In Washington since Inauguration
day.
