parks in this country, aud they think
Omaha has been very fortunate in secur-
ing it for a comparative trile.

The people Of Omaha ought to erect
more brick buildings. In the first place
they are more permanent, and give the
city an appearance of stability. OF
course, where buildings are liable to be
lowered on the hills when the streets are
cut down it may be policy to erect frame
buildings. Kansas City, n%otwithstend
ing her hills, is almost entirely built up
with brick. st. Joe also has a large brick
area, and has the appearance of a very
solid town. The difference in cost be.
tween brick and wood is not so great
as some people suppose, and
the slight difference in cost is soon made
up in the saving of repairs. A frame
building has to DO constantly repaired
ard painted, while the repairs on a brick
structure are comparatively few and mex
pensive. Besides, the insurance on brick
buildings is much less than on frame.
In the erection of brick buildings we GER
encourage an important home in
namely, the manufacture of brick,
and this fact ought to be taken into con-
sidcration.

VOICE OF THE STATE PRESS,
Cutting the Ticket,

Blue Springs Motor (Rep.)
A great many republicans have stated
to us that to cut q part of the state
ticket would injure the success of the
national ticket. We can not see 1t in
that light. We can elect Shedd ~lieuten-
ant governor by twenty thousand ma
iority and snow old Dawes under a bank
of snow so deep that old Soils rays will
never melt away the political snow bank
that will cover his political remains. You
can walk up and down our bust
ness street, and nineteen.twentieths of
The men you meet will tell you that
they are going to vote against Dawes.
You cannot find a republican among that
number that will cut Blaine, Shedd, or
any other good man for the sins of an
other. 1t would be just as reasonable to
kick out of q public school all the teach
ers because we dislike one of them,
Men, who have the sand to cut a rascal,
have the judgment to select the wheat
from the chat. 1t is the sensible read
ing public who are going to scratch; and
you can rest assured that they will vote
carefully and judiciously.

Mr.. KELLY on Saturday last gave an
exhibition of his mysterious motor in
the presence of a large number of stock
holders in the motor company. The test
was made at Sandy Hook by means of a
small cannon, the motor form taking the
place of gunpowder, and it is said that it
was highly satisfactory, Mr.. Keely as
sured tho assemblage that by the lat of
December he expected come grand results,
and that the present year would see the
motor perfected. He proposes to apply
it to telegraphy as well as to the move
ment of machinery. Mr.. Keely may

some people suppose. He certainly has

Attorney General.

Western Celt.
=. Mr.. Montgomery, the democratic nom.
inee for attorney general, is a man fully
qualified to fill that important office. In
comparison with his adversary on the re.
publican ticket there is indeed q striking
contrast. If Mr. Lease is elected to this
office this fall instead of Mr.. Montgom-
cry, we will forever believe the republi-
can boast that they can elect a yellow
dog in Nebraska. Leases nomination
was q burlesque on the legal fraternity
of the state. The men who
forced his nomination cannot
surely be his friends. 1t was
the greatest injustice to him to impel
him to exhibit himself before the peo-
pie, The man has not one qualification
to fit him for the office. There was a
clash between Senator VanWicka and tn Q
brass-collared tribe he has spurned, the
result was the abortion, the nomination
of this honest but illiterate man. But
surely the citizens of this state cannot
consummate the injustice by electing
him. Fortunately the democrats have
nominated a mar for whom the people can
safely vote, and Mr.. Montgomery will
prove fully worthy of their support.

THE iron rule of monopoly is we'll il.
lustrated by the condition of affairs in
the coal regions of Pennsylvania. Ac.
cording to the Philadelphia Record the
producers of anthracite coal have agreed
to combine on the output and prices.
The percentages assigned to the different
companies are al follows: Reading,
40; Lehigh Valley, 10; Delaware, Lacka'
wanna and Western, II; Delaware and
Hudson, II; Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany, 8; Pennsylvania Coal company, Al
and Lake Erie and Western, /. This coal
monopoly, while starving the miners,
levies a tax on all the coal OF
the country. The consumers, however,
would not object to the tax if the mo-
nopoly would only pay its employees
living wages. The average wages of the
miners of Pennsylvania run
from 60 to 90 cents a day. They
certainly cannot support themselves and
their families on such pay. If they can
keep from actual starvation they are do
ing better than one would suppose they
could on such wages. The condition OF
these miners is indeed deplorable, and
her eough'I to be Some remedy against
tho grasping greed of monopolista who
heartlesHly rob them by all sorts of com.
binstions. When the supply of coal
exceeds the demand, the miners are
either reduced to half time or laid of
until the demand picks up again. The
millionaire monopolists do not lose a
dollar, hut it is the operatives who have
to pay the losses and undergo hardships
Of all kinds, whenever there is an over
supply or q decline in prices.

SOME few of the country papers are
objecting to the permanent location of the
state fair at Omaha. They want it
moved from town to town like q circus.
Suppose the state fair were held at
Kearney, or Grad Island, or Columbus,
or Fremont, or Hastings, or Nebraska
City, what kind of an exposition would
it be? 1t would prove q failure in every
respect. Omaha and Lincoln are the only
places where the state fair should be
held, and of these two locations Omaha,
of course, is the better one on account of
her superior advantages in the way of
accommodations and the liberal
support that she can give to
the fair. The attendance of
the citizens of Omaha and the
immediate vicinity is large enough,
or nearly SO, to make the fair a financial
success at least. This cannot be said of
any other place in the state. If Omaha
cannot secure the fair for tho next five
years, then the next best place is Lincoln,
but it the state board of agriculture de-
sires to make both ends meet 1t will I'M
h~esitatingly locate the fair in Omaha.
Our citizens Of course should DO very
liberal in their inducements, notwith-
standing the fact that the managers Of
the fair could well afford to locate it for
five years in Omaha without demanding
even one dollar as q bonus. Should Omaha
get the fair for the next five years, she
will at least haveto spend some money in
e~nlarging the grounds and adding to the
general accommodations, as the exposi-
ton is yearly increasing in its proper
tons. However, if we should fail in this
matter We can establish a permanent
Omaha exposition such as Kansas City
and other cities have. and which could
be made more of a success than the state
fair.

COMPETITOR OF AMERICAN

Twenty-Five years ego the first pc
troleum discovery was made near Titus
vile. Pennsylvania, and since that time
the Pennsylvania oil regions have sup.
piled the principal markets OF the world
/ with coal oil. Five hundred million
gallons were exported last year, and of
this vast quantity Germany took the
largest part, The recent rcporta from
the oil fields on the Apsheron peninsula
in The Caspian sea, near tho town Of
BaEu, naturally cause some alarm among
the American oil producers, for tho indi.
cations are that those oil fields will Gro
long supply the European demand,
particularly that of Germany. Such a
result woud indeed be disastrous for a
| time at least to The American oil indus
try, especially in view Of the fact that
there is now a vast over-prodUction.
It has long been known that petroleum
existed near Bsku, which is n city Of
some 10000 or 10000 people. The
Baku Gl field was for some years after
the American discovery controlled by n
man, and there was much complaint of
the monopoly which he exerciBed. In
1867 q commission investigated the
matter, and finally in 1872
relief was obtained By the
adjustment Of the monopoly, The oil
industry at Baku thereupon began to
grow very rapidly, the production, which
in 1870 amounted to S,500,000 gallons,
increased to 29,045,0 900 gallons in 1875.
The trade, however, was still oonsidera-
bly, hampored by a duty which took the
place of the monopoly. This duty wal
abolished in 1873, and this gave a now
to the industry. Tho produc.
tion jumped to 200, 000, 900 gallons in
four years. This abolishment of the
monopoly, the removal of tho duty, and
development Of the Baku oil wells are
principally to IN enterprising
nan named Nobel, who was formerly a
celebrated Russian engineer. He is
the principal owner OF the Baku
Ill wells, although there are other OPP
who, however, continue to work
he wells in the primitive style. The ex-
lct area of the oil field has not been as
'ertained. A tract only about four
niles square is being worked, but this il
'nly a small portion of the oil producing
egion. There have been about 400
wells sunk, none Of them being over 700
eet deep. Nobel, lest year sank a
veil which flowed $4,000 bar
day, and among his
'osessions he has twenty-five others that
known as fountains" While the
transportation from Baku is not first
lass, che facilities can be readily improv-
d. 1t has a good harbor on.the Caspian
and is within reach of the European
markets by wey Of tho Volga, and the
across western Russia. Five
of oil can be bought at Baku for !
me cent, and it will be seen that this
price is sure to bring it into direct COM
with the American product in
he European markets, especially in those |
n the interior of Europe, the most i'm {
ortant of which is Germany.
