Omaha daily bee., 1884-05-16

THE city council has done a very wise
thing in passing the ordinance giving the
b. & M. the right of way to the Union
stock yards. While there was no partic-
ular hurry necessary in this matter, there
was danger that the whole scheme would
be defeated by Union Pacific influences.
The vote upon this ordinance has again
demonstrated that an employee of the
Union Pacific will always prefer to serve
the interest Of that corporation, even
when he knows it to be contrary to pub
lie policy and the interests of his constit.
uents. 1t is manifestly tn the interests
of Omaha that all railroads shall have &C.
cess to our stock yards, packing houses,
warehouses; and factories. To give any
n road the monopoly of public road
ways would impede the growth of the
city and prevent it from ever becoming a
great manufacturing center. Corpora
tions, like men, are more or less selfish.
1t is not at all unlikely if the B. & M.
railroad were in the position of the Union
Pacific, that it would pursue the same
selfish policy. But the public have rights
which these corporations should not at
tempt to ignore. In this instance, as in
the contest of the Jackson street occupancy
and the river front crossing, the public
interest is jeopardized by the selfish
opposition OF the Union Pacific, and this
paper took decided ground in favor of
granting the B. & M. the same rights
which had been given to the Union Pa
ciic. In that fight the court sustained
the position taken by The BEE that the
monopoly of any thoroughfare canno be
granted to any railroad. This is not
only a good law, but justice, and
it will prevail whenever an honest deci.
sion is rendered by the courts.
Omaha daily bee., 1884-05-16
Two confidence sharks, Marks and

Two confidence sharks, Marks and
Schonberg, who have been operating in
the vicinity of the Union Pacific depot,
were arrested last week by the depot po'
lice, and we're tried and convicted in police
court. They were sentenced to thirty
days imprisonment and to pay a fine OF
$40. Nevertheless, these men attended
the prize-fght, and are said to have been
the cause of the free fight and shooting
match on the return trip of the special
train. That they were both wounded is
something for which no one feels sorry.
But how did they get out of Jail SO that
they could attend the prize .ight2 This
is a question that will have to be answer
cd by some one. The police judge says
that he did not let them out. Who did,
One of the prisoners claimed to have
heart disease, and that it was not healthy
for him to be in Jail. This is a great mis-
take, for the healthiest place for such
scoundrels is in Jail. Nevertheless, he
was permitted to go to the prize-fght,
which was just the place for a man %ailict-
cd with heart disease. Instead of send
ing for the city physician, DIR. Leisenring,
to examine the fellows case of heart dis
ease, DIR. Hoffman was called, and that
gentleman certified to his condition. The
people would now like to know who re-
leased Marks and Schonberg from Jail
If the police judge did not do it, did the
city marshal or the ~jailor2 This is a case
that should be investigated by the city
council, as we'll as by the grand jury.
This case is another evidence that the
crooks of this city are being protected"
by certain city officials.

If the Iowa legislature had been wise
enough to keep out of tho crazy practice
of appointing commissions or boards to
do it's work, the state would have been
spared the disgraceful quarrels which
DIR. Kulp's removal from the asylum
board has caused. 1t was clearly the
business of the legislature to locate the
insane asylum itself. 1t was clearly not
its business to shift that work on to the
shoulders Of others. The members, who
were too timid or too lazy to perform the
duty, have themselves to thank that
others have not done that duty we'll.

composed wholly and the republican
national committee partly of members of
congress in both houses. The discovery
that all these have laid themselves open
to severe punishment is not comforting.
There will have to be a reorganization of
both committees. 1t would DE impossible
to evade the law in any way even if any
one wanted TO do 20. The sections Of the
law which have caused this trouble are a
fair sample of the thoughtless manner in
which some attempted reforms are car
ried out. 1t is evidently no worse for
congressman to belong to organizations
which receive political assessments than
it is for anyother class of men whatsoever.
Why they should have been specially
picked out is one Of the things that no
no one can explain.
Omaha daily bee., 1884-05-16

The shooting match on that Union
Pacifc special prize-fighting train occur
red in Douglas county and therefore it is
within the jurisdiction of the grand jul
ry. 1t is hoped that the grand jury will
thoroughly investigate tho matter, and at
the same time they ought to investigate
the case of Marks and S%chonbergr, the
convicted confidence sharks, who we're
released from Jail before the expiration
OF their sentence, so that they could attend
the prize fight. These two men were
among the principals at the
shooting match.

he settled in Cincinnati. Two years
later he removed to Chicago, being con
vinced that this was destined to be the
metropolis of the west and the grain
market of the world. Soon after coming
here he introduced his brothers, Leander
j. and William S., into the business,
which was rapidly attaining marvellous
proportions. The Mccormick reaper
won the prize medal in 1862 at the Lon
don National exhibition. The next year
it was awarded the highest
honor at the international exhi-
bitten in France. After another
great triumph at the exposition of all
Nations in Paris, in 1867. Mccormick
was invited by the Emperor Napoleon to
to visit the latter's farm at Chalons and
exhibit his wonderful invention. His
Majesty was delighted with the work of
the reaper, and was profuse in his com.
pliments. The first year that Mr.. Nc
Cormick came to Chicago, he manufac-
tured 70S machines. In 1867 he sold
over 1000 reapers, and the demand in
creased rapidly. In 1859 Reverdy johnson
in an argument before the commissioner
of patents, said: "The Mccormick
reaper has already contributed an annual
income to the whole country of forty. five
millions of dollars at least, which must
increase through all time"
Mr.. Mccormick was never an Office
seeker, but he stood d~eservedly high in
the councils of the democratic party. Into
politics he carried lofty motives, and his
influence was great, for his character was
a spotless one. He entertained clear and
well-defned views on religion, being an
ardent Presbyterian. He was most prom
inent in the organization of the South
Presbyterian church, giving the larger
part of the amount required to purchase
a site for the edifice. Up to the year
1857 he gave, each year, $4,000 to the
support OF this church. In 1859 lie
founded and endowed the Presbyterian
theological seminary of the Northwest.
He endowed a professorship in Washing.
ton college, Virginia, and contributed
literally to the support of the Union
Theological Seminary of Virginia. In
1872 he purchased the Interior, the or.
gan of the Presbyterian Church in the
Northwest, retaining the proprietorshir
up to the day of his death. 1t is only q
few weeks ago that he gave 500, 00C
which will be devoted to the better
equipment of the Theological Seminary
of the Northwest. Mr.. Mccormick re-

AN important discovery has just been
made in regard TO the civil service law
passed last year. 1t is that the law COL
tains a clause ~forbidd,ng representatives
in congress and senators from receiving,
or belonging to an organization which re-
c%eives, any assessment, subscription OF
contribution made for campaign purposes.
The penalty affixed for breaking this sec
ton of the statute is a fine of $4,000 and
Imprisonment for five years. These pro-
Visions have been a law for nearly a year
and a half, but it has just occurred to a
number of congressman that under it they
are in danger of the penitentiary. The

ANF<
The army appropriation bill, which is
now awaiting the action of the house,
contains some important provisions. 1t
is chiefly marked by increased liberality
of treatment to officers and men. 1t
Gets aaide $3.50, 900 to provide for extra
payment to all enlisted men put on duty
for more than ten days as mechanics, ar.
tisans, school teachers, clerks, teamsters,
and laborers. Hitherto the first three
classes named have been paid thirty-ive
cents a day. Hereafter they will receive
fifty. Clerks, teamsters and laborers
have heretofore been paid twenty-five
cents a day. The bill increases their
compensation ten cents. This feature is
looked upon with great satisfaction by
army men, as an act of justice.
Another clause permits fuel to be is
sued to all officers on duty at any post
west of the Mississippi river. Officers
and enlisted men are hereafter to be al
lowed to purchase subsistence supplies at
cost price. AT present they are charged
10 per cent. above cost. Previous at
tempts have been made to secure this re-
duction, but have been defeated. 1t is
wise and just.
Besides this, one hundred post quarter
master sergeants are to be added to the
force. They are to be chosen by exam.
ination from the most suitable enlisted
men of at least four years service.
These sergeants are designed to relieve
civilian employees as clerks and store
keepers, to take care of public property,
or to be assistants to quartermasters.
They are to be paid $40 a month with an
ordnance sergeant's allowance.
Reductions of expenses are also made.
The total number of civilian employees
is not to be over one thousand. The
compensation for freight and carriage
paid by the government to railroads that
have received national aid is not to be
more than one-halt of the rates which
private persons pay. The Office of
forage-master is abolished. The total ex-
penditure on civilian labor is not to he
mere than 81, SOC, 900, and no one civilian
employe is to receive more than $3.50 a
month. The price of food is considered
as warranting a reduction of the ration
from 90 to 20 cents. The pay corps is to
he diminished from 40 to 20. And
the number of horses and mules
which may be bought is reduced
and vigorously limited. BY these means
a reduction of 1920, 900 in the amount OF
appropriation is made. This is shaving
the service pretty close. The senate will
have objections to make to some of the
items Of the bill, and may insist on an
increased appropriation. The bill has
been delayed beyond all precedent by
the dissensions of the democrats. Ii
should be fastened and passed.

the Leavenworth bridge $3.50, 900, and
the Kansas City bridge $1,000 0 These
bridges are located one half in Missouri.
The railroads proper are assessed at rates
varying from $3.50 to $14, 800 per mile.
The Wabash is assessed at $40, 900, and
the Missouri Pacific SD, 600. The last
assessment of the Missouri Pacific in
