Omaha daily bee., 1885-07-09

NEBRASKA and this trans-Missouri country
want a few more railroads, only a few. One
of them is the Omaha Northern, with a man
by the name of Jay Gould. and o railroad by
the name of the Missouri Pacific at its back.
Omaha wants this rai< Dad more than words
can tell.-Hcrdld.
Omaha needs q road into northern Ne
brasks, and that road should be built and
controlled by Omaha capitalists. If that
can't be done, the next best thing will be
such a road built by Jay Gould or any
other wrecker, even if 1t is bonded for
all 1t Is worth, and watered three times
over, as 1t very likely would be if Jay
Gould had anything to do with 1t. The
extension of the Missouri Pacific Into
northern Nebraska would nodoubt prove
q profitable enterprise, and, as we have
already raid, would be the best thing that
could happen to Omaha In the near flu
rture, If .he does not construct a northern
line Of her own.

Gossip About Cigars and smokers
in Omaha,

eyes, sir" said a cigar merchant to q
reporter for the BEE last night, al am
Inclined to believe that the smoking habit
is spreading In Omaha to a ratio greater
than the Increase Of population"
"Can you account for III"
"No, l cannot, but l have noticed the
fact and think other cigar deslers Ill
bear me out In the matter. Did you
ever walk down q crowded thoroughfars
and notice how few men there are whose
lips do not enclrcle a cIgMl MOI Well,
just try the experiment and you will be
surprised.
al find in the course of my every day
business that the habit of smoking Is in
dulged In to the greatest extent among
the classes of men who are probably least
able to afford It. 1t has been my observ.
alton tn at the big business man of Oma.

Income which may be rated from fair to
large, pays less Tor smoking than docs the

with Incomes far Into the thousands who
always call for a 5.eent cigar, at the same
time that your $50 dry goods clerk will
pompously call fer a 10 cent straight.
eyes, sir, the expensive cigars are
always bought by the very men who
really can't afford to smoke a 5.cent
cigar. OF course, however, there are a
large number of rich men who buy
nothing but the very finest goods. Yes,

20 and 90 csnters."

side of this class of patrons, l should say
that the clerks-dry goods, bank and
others-are the best class of customers.
"All men don't know a good cigar
from a bad one by its taste. I'll wager
that there are plenty of men here who In
their own estimation are good judges of
cigars, and yet can't tell a 5.cent smoke
from a 10-cent one. To be a thorough
Judge of a good article one must be &C.
quainted with the mechanical make up of
a cigar, must be able to tell the quality
of the kind of filling and wrapping used,
must be able to detect at once any rot.

above all must not allow their taste to be

anywhere else for that matter"

x.GovERNoR MOVES, of Ohio, has
declined the appointment of Union Pa.
cifc government director. When the an.
nouncement was made that he had bsen
appointed as one of the directors q great
howl was forthwith raised by the Tllden
organs of the democracy because he was
a republican and was one of the visiting
statesmen who superintendent the Florida
count In 1876. 1t Is intlmated that Mr.
Noyes has resigned at the request of
Governor Hoadly, who recommended
him In the first place, in order not to EN-.
barraas President Cleveland. The next
time Mr.. Hoadly recommends anybody
to President Cleveland he better first
consult Samuel j. Tilden, whose friends
evidently want 1t distinctly understood
that he is still in the land of the living
and has o voice in democratic politics.
We presume that II any man concerned
in the attempt to steal the state of Ore
gon In 1876 had been appointed instead
of Ex-Governor Noyes, 1t would have
been perfectly satisfactory to the Sage of
Cipher Alley.

Gier-general of volunteers on the 18th

remarked, "I have got q neck" The
Jury In his Ease has just decided that bis
neck must be stretched, If a
verdict of murder In the first
degree means anything In Ne.

criterion, 1t is pretty safe to predict.
however, that Billiards. neck will not be
stretched In the near future, If at all.
There are at present eight or nine con-
visited murierers In this state who have
have been sentenced tt death, and who
ought to have beeu hanged long ago. One
has been convicted and sentenced three
times, another has had two trials, and lie
likely to have another, third has had his
day of execution indefinitely postponed,
q fourth has had his sentence committed
to life imprisonment, and 80 on through
the entire list. When Tom Ballard i.
hanged he will be a much older man than
he Is now, If he has the same good luck
that other cold. blooded murderers have
had.

Is now intlmated that Postmaster. General

one cent for letters and newspapers.
This Is not altogether q new Idea, as Sen
ator Sumner advocated the same thing
for several years, but the proposition was
oppored at that time by the p~ost-ofics
department on the ground that the gov
eminent could not afford 1t. His an
swer was that the government could at
ford to do anything that was for the ben.
eft of the people and that was right
that there never was a time when the
post office department did pay Its ex-
penses that such q thing was not to be
expected ; that it delivered the peoples
letters not as a means of raising a reve.
uue. but because 1t was q duty
the public imposed upon It,
If Summers Ideas, which are In accord
with popular sentiment, are adopted By
the next congress upon the recommends
tlon of Mr.. Villas, we may look for one
cent postage within the next two years
Hitherto the postofice department, as 8
rule, has opposed nearly every reduction
and improvement, until compelled at last
to yield to the popular demand.
