A GANG OF thugs and burglars mr.,

A GANG Of thugs and burglars are
now operating In Omaha. Every
night brings fresh reports Of felonies
committed 10 our city under the vary
noses Ct the marshal and police.
Over score of ~burglAries and tnsfta
have taken place In this city within
the past four weeks and beyond the
arrest OF several Suspicious characters,
the police have done nothing.
On Tuesday last a residence wal
raided by five masked Villains and the
house held for over an hour In a state
of siege, while a portion of the polio,
force was leisurly looking for tramp'

would he accept, he says, any office at
the hands Of the democratic party.
He finds his highest satiifaction In
seeing around him the certain promise
Of q grea, stats and city, which he has
had "some share, with stronger men, "
In helping to create out OF the wild
void of the early days. Closing, the
doctor says, pathetically:

TIE SAME OLD THING.

We are on the eve Of another cleo
tlon. This time the contest simply
involves the questions OF an honest
economic administration of the at
fsirs Of the city. There is no other
iseue, there can te no other Issue.
II does not matter to the Taxpayers
and citizens what party ticket the
next mayor and council of Omaha will
vote on presidential election day.
But 1t does matter whether they are
qualified and trustworthy.
This Jefersonian principle will,
however, not enter into the choice
made by party conventions. We shall
presently witness the same old thing
that has so often disguised good cit
izsns of all parties and driven them
10 the support OF men of an opposite
political creed. The same Of old
gang Of Shysters and political bucks
tiers, acting in conjunction with the
railroad machine, is again preparing
for an onslaught on the primaries and
conventions. Men who make a trade
out of politics, vagabondH who have
votes to sell, repeaters, ballox.box
suffers and convention packers will
be let loose, backed by a good supply
of beer and whisky.
These elements, combined with the
small army Of young men that march
from headquarters" on every primary
day to carry the monopoly ticket, will,
az usual, constitute themselves as the
bone and sinew of the party, whatever
that may meal. They will put forth
a city ticket such as they did two years
ago, with Hascall at the head and Pat
Halves or some other stall xart at the
tall. The same machine can also or.
gan!ze the primaries for the demo-
Gratis and put up o ticket to cores
pond. Then the voters Of Omaha
will be called on to take their choice
This is In substance what Is In store
for us this spring and WI may as we'll
face the music. The question nat.
urally is, will the great body of vo.
tiers, merchants, manufacturers and
working men who feel a vital interest
in keeping abreast Of progreHs submit
and at the last minute swallow
the medicine.
There Is plenty of time to counter.
act such a calamity as would befall this
city In a council made of jobbers and
q mayor that trains with vsgabonds
who will be q mere catspaw In the
hands of the railroads.

public sentiment, which overthrow the
bosses and changed the complexion Of
congress in last years tidal wave of
reform.

Rents are likely to be stationary at
New York this spring, and this may
be regarded Is the case generally
throughout the country, except where
special buBlness activity or depression
increases or reduces the demand. The
development of business during the
last year was large, but yet did net
give promise Of such Increased neces.
slty for shops and dwellings as to Just
ify any further demand from land
lords. The low rate which capital
commands from other forms Of invest.
ment leads to the natural expansion of
real estate accommodations, and will
keep the market fully supplied, SO long
as 6 per cent net can be resped from
that outlay. springfield Republican
This may DO the condition of affairs
In Boston and New York, but how il
1t in Omaha. A real estate invest.
ment which will not bring in any
where's from IL to 20 per cent is 8
rarity. The demand for cottages Is
always greater than the supply and
consequently rents do not signify a
fixed ratio of interest on the capital
Invested. Right here ONE In one of
the many evils resulting from our law
assessments.
Every charge that rents are exorbi.
tant Is met by the reply that taxes
are from 4 to 5 per cent. OF course
taxes are nomlnally from 4 to 3 per
cent on a valuation Of from one-third
to one-tenth CT the market value Of
grounds and buildings. But upon
the actual value of the bulk of prop
erty In Omaha taxes are lass than. l
per cent. An6 this shows the false basis
of the assertion so often made by land
lords in Omaha hal high taxes are
responsible for high rents.
An equalization Of assessment In
Omaha would result In a general low.
ering In the rate of taxation BY placing
the taxes on the shoulders of the men
who have been 30 successful Ia evading
them. Such action would take away
from our house renters the stale and
misleading o. that high taxes are
responsible for high reuts.

Cruel Ingratitude.

Sioux City Journs[.
DR.. Miller, editor Of The Omaha
Herald, has o personal article in his
paper of Tuesday morning, over his
own name, evidently written more In
pain than anger. Information had
reached him that a recent democratic
curbstone convention In that city had
decided that he should not be allowed
to attend any more national conven-
tions of the democrstic party as a del.
egate from Nebraska. This action il

the outset that he concurs sin the
resolution adopted by the Creighton
convention" He says ne Is not a

ton of 1884, and shall not be under
any circumstances; and that this deter.
mination he declared to q num-
Der lofn friends, whom he names,
soon after the adjournment of the
legislature. The doctor proceeds to
speak feelingly of his nearly twenty.
nine years residence In Nebraska and
Omaha, and of his work for nearly
eighteen years a. editor of The Omahl
Herald, saying that he has nevel
failed to labor for the interests Of tn,

liz 1882, according to a circular re-
Gently Issued by the New York
Tribune, a number CT manufacturers
subscribed for from % to 100 WeeA,
T'ribunes each for circulation among
their men. "They wanted to COM
pliment the Tribune for its devotion
to the true interests of American in
dustries. They also wished to benefit
aud educate their men," This was
very c~onslderate and kind, to be sure,
but the men paid very dearly for their
education. Every dollar so gener-
ously donated by the manufacturers
was exacted out of the surplus
earned by their workingmen above
their wages, added to the actual cost
Of raw products.

DR. MORGAN DIX has been telling
the women of New York some un.
pleasant truths in q series of Lentea
lectures delivered in Trinity chapel.
DR.. DIX denounced in unmeasured
terms the unsexing Of women as advo.
Gated by the women s~uffrsglsts, pro.
claimed woman's sphere the homo and
family and protested against q higher
education which failu to accommodate
itself to tho peculiar and
physical conditions of the sex.
The consequence is that the whole
brood of bowling sisters and a score
of envious clergymen are raking the
rector of Trinity owe the Goals of q
heated criticism, and pronounce him
as q relic of mediaervalism who has no
right to express the Views of the Dark
Ages In a cultured city Of the nine.
teenth century.
There Is q middle ground between
the Lucy Stone Blackwell enthusiasts
and those who oppose any adj
vancemsnt of woman beyond
the sphere of mere household
drudgery. There Is no reason why a
strong, healthy girl, upon whom the
domestic circle has few claims not
easily satilfed, should be debarred
from the higher education and from
such professions as she can fit herself
for with q fair hope of success and
without ruination to her health.
Americans are not afraid of cultured
women, and many Of our most high.
ly educated women adhere very
faithfully to the duties Of
wives and mothers. Any education
which tends to make u girls NOR,
nationally independent ought to b,
welcomed, and will be approved, BY
the mass of parents throughout the
country. The trouble with the femAl,
exhorters, who stump the country Will
their orations upon womsn's wrongs
Is that they are seeking to antagoniz
the sexes to the detriment of society
and to force upon women burden
which their physical organism canno
sustain. In spite Of criticism ant
abuse, DR.. Dix's Views, which In tn
! main are sound and sensible, will b
generally approved. Amy education
