con holes. The bill which has recently
passed is a good one, and it's scope is
made reaching and sufficient. 1t leaves
however, much TO the discretion and
judgment of public works and still
more to the vigilance and executive abil-
ity of the chief engineer of the fire de-
partment. The BEE calls up the
subject at this day only to
say that the rules and regulations
to be adopted by the board can hardly be
too stringent in their precautions against
the possibility of the construction of any
more such fire traps as we have seen
erected within the last few yesrs upon
our principal business streets. Omaha
has had too many forests of fire enclosed
within brick walls, too much substantial
veneers and finder box interiors, too few
business blocks built with any view to a
possible emergency where 30 or 100
human beings might be compelled to
take their lives in their own hands by
running madly through blazing ioists and
flaming wooden stairs to reach a place Of
safety. In compiling their regula-
tions the board building should
be guided largely by the expert
ence of the other cities in like cases.
The thickness of party and foundation
and outer walls, the arrangement of
%ioists and studding in relation to lues,
the width of halls and staircases, the
height of fire guards above the roofs, all
these detail1 with a hundred others
should be carefully considered, fixed in
structions to architects and builders is.
sued and ~iniexibly adhered to when
made. Strict vigilance and prompt pros.
ecution of offenders will do much to
make such a building law respected and
obeyed. The result will then be what
every well wisher of Omaha desires.

THE city council has adopted q reHolu.
ton requesting the city attorney to give
his opinion upon the present liquor
license ordinance, and if it is defective to
state what is necessary to make it legal
and effective. The council ought also to
have passed q resolution that it would
act in accordance with the city attorneys
opinion, which, we predict, will be that
the present ordinance LIS wholly illegal,
and that an entirely new ordinance will
have to be passed.

POLICEMAN NIGHTINGALE has again
been suspended for drunkenness. Mayor
Chase was aware of the character of this
man when he re-appointed him to the

removed from the force last year for good
GAUGE, yet it went on and confirmed his
re-appointment. The council ought to
give Nightingale an everlasting vacation.

ALIEN OWNERSHIP OFkANDS
The alarming extent to which foreign
ers have become vast land owners in this
country has been brought to the atten.
ton OF the national republican conven-
ton in an address, which was read by
Alexander Sullivan, in behalf of the ex-
e~cutive committee Of the Irish National
league, The address shows the dangers
that are sure to result from the immense
land grabs that have been made through
railroad companies and other corporations
by foreign capitalists. One of the prin-
cipal dangers is the creation of
IN immense absentee landlordism,
by which, as the address states,
the riches of our soil and the results of
the hardy labor of u citizens are TO be
drained out of the country to swell the
fortunes of the hereditary monopolists,
who have obtained at least 20, OO0, 900
acres of our soil. This subject has been
frequently discussed of late by the lead.
ing newspapers and statesmen of our
country, and it seems to be the general
desire of our people that the ownership OF
the land in the United States must de-
pend upon American ~oitizenship. The
Irish National league, while NO
doubt having in view a blow principally
at English capitalists who have become
immense land monopolists in the United
States, has struck the popular chord. The
league in its movement against alien land
owners and ~monopolists will have the
sympathy and support Of the great mass
of the American people, and the republi.
can national convention will in all proba-
bility take decisive action upon the mat.
ter, by making recommendations to con.
gress to enact prohibitory laws against
alien ownership of lands. The conven.
ton cannot afford to ignore the
fact that the ownership of land,
especially in immense tracts, by
foreigners, is contrary to the spirit of re.
publican institutions, and that such for
eigners should be compelled to become
citizens OF this country or relinquish their
lands to persons who are citizens.

A few weeks age several well known
N~ebraskans, residents of Crete and
Omaha, quietly organized a land and cat.
tie company, filed their incorporation
papers and went to work without any
noise or flourish. The name of the com
pany is the Big Springs land and cattle
company, with q capital stock of $50, 900.
The company is composed Of and ofic-
cred by j. M. Daugherty and F. @.
Craig of Omaha, M. A. Daugherty and
j. w. Craig Of Crete, and f. @. Miller
OF Greenville, Pa. The range owned by
this company L. located three hundred
miles west Of Omaha, in Keith county,
in direct communication with Omaha by
the U. p. railroad. The range comprises
AGO acres Of land, held in fee with the
privilege and use Of 4,480. The south
line of the land is twelve miles from Big
| Springs, extending six miles to the North
Platte river, giving three miles of water
front on this never-failing stream. These
bluffs afford the finest Of winter shelter
and feed, and contain quarries of fine
building rock, together with growing
cedar sufficient for posts to fence the
entire tract. The bottom land extends
from n to two and a half miles wide.
and is covered with blue stem grass, cut
ting n and one-half tons of hay per
acre. Fine hay can be cut on the rich
table land back of the range of bluffs.
On account of the hay which can be put
up for winter use in case of storms, range
feed for running pasture, and the compa-
ny owning their WI land, thus being
assured from disturbance, as the range
limit is now being narrowed by the set
tlemsnt OF this country, which was once
the free range of every citizen, makes
this one of the 6nest ranch privileges in
the state.

ton for the new postofice has been cut
down aud limited to $500, coo, and the
magnificent pile of granite which was at
first mapped out has been buried in the
avalanche Of economy. Supplementing
the democratic method of retrenchment
the architect of the treasury has put in
force an inhexible rule that all plans shall
be kept within the appropriation. This
only increases the misery of Denver. Pre-.
vious to the advent of Architect Bell it
was the invariable practice to plan on a
lavish scale and after %oxhausting the
first appropriation call for another, and e
third if necessary. The approved plan
of the building resembles somewhat the
senate wing of the national capitol. 1t
will be three stories high with heavy un-
cut columns and graceful corinthian pill
lars above. The front entrance will be
elevated, requiring several steps to reach
the first door, the elevator is t be at the
left of the postmaster's office at the right
of the lobby. The postoftice proper will
occupy the entire remainder of the floor.
The second and third floors will be used

The surveyors of the st. Paul & Oma-
ha road are running lines in Burt county
over the fields which the evanescent Ne.

The road has a magnificent country to
operate in and a few feeders into the in
terror would doubtless prove a paying
investment. It is not unlikely that a line
into the famous Goods country" will be
constructed before many years. The
latest survey made was that between
Decatur ana Tekamah, The B~urtonian
says the company has already made a sur
vey between Decatur and Oakland, and
Decatur andLyons, and intend construc-
ting a road on the best route. The natu-
raj line between Decatur and
Tekar,ah and a line nearly
as good, if not better, between Tekamah
and Fremont brings Tekamah's chances
boldly to the front if the road is ever con-
structed.

FoiRer's Friends and Blaine.

New YORK, Nov. 15.-The Herald says
The question is frequently asked, "What
does President Arthur think of Cleveland's
election?" An intimate acquaintance says
he regrets the defeat Of the Republican party
but more deeply regrets the cause which led
to 1t. The defeat of Blaine Is no compensa.
ton to him for not having received the nom.
nation. Another friend of the President
referred to the passage In the late Judge Fol-
gers letter to Blaine, wherein he said i: az
propose to be frank with you. Friends In
New York write me that they desire to be
revenged on you. They express the opinion
that neither you nor your followers desired
or worked for the success of the STATE ticket
in New York in 1882. They assert that If
Cleveland was good enough for Governor
over Folger, Cleveland Is good enough for
President over Blaine" "For q correct un-
derstanding of this passage" continued the
friend Of the President, 81 refer you to the
official count in Oneida county"

will be rewarded for their services by put

Notwithstanding his protestations during the

doubts but that he would accept position
in Cleveland's Cabinet if offered him. The

he prefers the Navy to the War Department,

that department than at the head of the mil

the Idea that either Of the two parties is 70

is stated on good authority, received this
afternoon q telegram from New York, an.
nouncing the completion of the official can
vass OF that city and informing him that the
plurality for Cleveland In that State would
be 1,137. The same authority states that
Blaine accepts the result very cheeriully,

nection with the campaign. He feels that
he made good fight, and gracefully bows to
the verdict Of the American people. He be-
lieves the Republican party will prove true
to Its grand past and will increase in strength
with coming years. He expects that In 1888
1t will again be called back into power.
Mr. Blaine leaves for Washington about
the middle OF December, where he and his
family will spend the winter. He has leased
