COST OF LIVING

A great b TO q grown
Is cost Of living In this city. All the
necessaries are too high. Rent Is ex.
brilliant. Groceries and provinions
are at the top notch Of prices. A st.
Joe editor a few days ago In q letter
written from this city declared that on
q low estlmate'lt costs ct least 80 per
cent more to live In Omaha than II
did In ST. Joseph and the statement
was probably correct. When houses
rent at the rate Of IS
per room q month and meat
Ia as dear as It Is In Chicago, while
groceries range from 8 to 20 per cent
higher than they can be bought In
that city, we are seriously handi-
capped In the race for advancement.
Manufacturers are frightened away
because the rate Of living compelu
high wages, and with high wages they
cannot compete with eastern nan
ufaoturers. But wages In Omaha
must be high In order to give
our worklngmen a chance to live. A
dollar q day In some Of the eastern
cities Ia equal to nearly q dollar and q
half here.
There are several reasons why II
costs so much to live In Omaha. The
whole trouble does not lie In railroad
rates or In the exorbitant tolls Of the
U. P. bridge. There are too many
middlemen between the producer and
consumer. Farm produce passes
through the hands Of the commission
merchant and the retail dealer, each
Of whom must make his profit before
1t reaches the final purchaser. An
open market would do q good deal to
remedy this "a 1t would with meat and
poultry. In other lines, our c'' z.ns
often do not give suficiert pasronage
to local INGREDIENTS to enA Die them to
cut down profit for the sake Of main.
tanning their business. Some Of our
snoboorats and dudes who depend
upon local patronage for their own
living prefer for the sake Of style to
buy goods outside of Omaha
where purchases could be made
just as cheaply at home. CHI
oago tailors come to our city put up
at the best hotels and get q large mum.
Der Of orders when the work can be
done Just as we'll at home. Chicago
furniture dealers furnish the interior
Of the houses OF our men Of v ealth,
Who In turn complain II others fall to
patronize home industry. The rent
question Will be q difficult one to solve.
There Is . scarcity Of houses, and 10
long a. houses are In active demand,
rents are certain to remain high.
The formation and use Of
building associations settled tho rent
problem In Philadelphia and 1t ought
to do the same In Omaha. There Is
no reAso why . mechanic shout pay
from 15 to 20 per cent on . land.
lords Investment when he can build
q home for himself and pay of the
borrowed money by installments.
The cost Of living In Omaha must be
reduced very shortly II We expect TO
maintain DOL growth. A market
house, patronage of home industriea
and homes for the workingmen are
three remedies which will help rs on
to q basis where we can afford to
compete with other cities and can take
advantage Of our exceptional position
for building up q great manufacturing
and commercial metropolis.

culine Constancy-Capt. Nebb's Sad
| Fatc-Eiasara's Awful Whirlpool, etc.
PHILADELPHIA, July %, 1889
EDITOR CHEF:
For some time there have been two very,
| antagonistic parties in the Protestant Epis-
| copal Church of the Evangelists and their
| antagorism is based On High and Low
Churchism, SO called. At Easter last, the
election for the new vest7y took place. As
a rule, congregations Of the Episcopal
Church take little notice of the election of
vestrymen-won't take the trouble to go to
the church and vote, but in this case there
was a hot contest. Mr.. Peccival, the rector,
worked as hard to have his friends put in
as did the Low Church party for their par
tisans. He presided at the meeting to
choose judges Of the election. The Low
Church party numbered six and the High
Church five, without the chairman. Mr..
Percival claimed the right to vote as rector
and that made a tie. Then he said he had
the right to break the tie, in his capacity as
presiding officer and cast second vote for
High Church. The Low Church party was
disgusted with that kind of strategy and
declared the election unfair, refusing to
accept the situation. At the election for
vestrymen each side claimed the victory
and went before Judge Allison for arbitra-
1,1,4. nj |,D lo1 r
Low Church, the High Church party does
not consider his writ a supersedeas and
will fight to the end. The church in its cor
porate capacity can not be made party to
the litigation, SO the costs must be met by
individuals just as if at law about any sec
ular matter. The expense SO far has been
about $1,000. Bishop Stevens is very Low
Church, and the Low Church party, in ad-
dressing communication to him stating
their grievances, feel no doubt OF securing
his sympathy, at least. They claim that
under one of the canons of the church the
Bishop has right to remove this very OBJ
noxious man from their midst at once, and
thus save them the delay and uncertainty
attendant upon an Investigation by the
standing committee. Poor Bishops! I'm
easy the head that wears the crown is GER
tainly maxim verified in their lives. The
charges against Mr.. Percival are all pre-
pared and cover nearly forty pages of legal
cap. A nice summer occupation for the
good old Bishop, to study out such mass
of nonsense-at least so it seems to a calm,
locker on.

effect of the bolt upon her person, as no

if lightning had not struck near, and he
told her he thought it had, when she inne-
