If we leave it to the evolutionists
to guess where we have come from
and to the theologians to guess where
we have come from we are left in

THE A S REQUIEM.

To-day the final honors are being paid
over the remains Of the nations great
captain. The funeral cortege, which with
solemn pomp has wound from the little
mountain where Grant died, across the
great state where he made his last home,
is approaching the grave where he Is to
be laid to rest. Accompanied In it's
course by the tears of the nation which
he did 30 much to make one, and which
has never manifested Its unity ss 1t has
in the presence Of this national sorrow
and bereavement, the funeral procession
nears the tomb. Through crspe-draped
streets and avenues, busy with commer-
Gil life, and hung with the emblems
Of mourning, 1t passes slowly
to the little park, which, overlooking the
beautiful Hudson, is to gain the greatest
attraction In receiving the ashes of
Americas soldIer.cItizsn. Thousands of
troops unite with still greater multi
tudes of citizens in the fiual honorD.
The south no less tesrfully than the north
Joins In the sad memorial. Comrades
and friends walk arm in arm with those
who opposed him 30 vallantly In civil
strife, while the dull booming of the min.
ute guns echo In sad reverberatlons across
a stricken continent. In a thousand
cities and town, memorial s~ervices voice a
nations esteem and a nations sorrow.
The upiversality and sincerity of this
mourning is sight long ODE remembered
by the people of the country. That 1t Is
something more than sentiment who can
doubt. 1t proves the falsity of the
charge that republics are ungrateful. To
the dead the pomp and parade Of
burial mean nothing No citizen of the
republic was more simple in his tastes or
modest In his wants, But to the people
whom he served 30 we'll In their time OF

the strains of funeral music
shall have died away, and the
emblems of woe are replaced
by these of business life and activity, the
memory of the last tribute psid by the
nation to General Grant will be remem-
berad az a historical incident of touching
significance. 1t will be recalled as the
final death blow to sectional strife; the
evidence of national unity. Victor
and vanquiahed have met together and in
the presence of death animosity and re-
verge fed forever and q common tribute
of tears washed away the last ves!ige Of

In the Boston city hall there Is always
kept open a book of complaints, in which
every citizen has the right to set forth at
any time any special grievance that he
considers the fault of the city govern
ment, or any of Its departments. Every
complaint must be aligned by the nams of
the complainant, and, of course, a pretty
close watch Is kept on the people who
make the complaints, to sac that no bogus
entry lie made or false name used In the
way of malice or j%ocular misinformation.
Every morning an abstract of the various
complaints Is made for the use of the
different departments of the government,
and in this way many small evils are
brought to light that would otherwise es.
cape official attention. This Is indeed a
Yankee notion, but 1t Is a good one. 1t
would prove useful in any city, if prop.
erly carried ont, 1t certainly would have

from the annoyance of the numerous
complaints that are sent to them for pub

Eternal God! beneath Thine eye
Like grains of sand the nations lie;
And heroes great in every land
Must pass away at Thy command.
Our nation mourns the loss of one
Renowned for deeds so bravely done.
Whose genius on tho battlefield
Compelled rebellion's power to yield,
Though dead, he lives; that higher life
Which knows no death, nor fears, nor strife
Whose joys the saints shall aver share,
Is henelorth his; he'll triumph there.
l seem to hear through gates ajar
The music sweet which comes afar,
Where some from every nation meet
And cast their crowns at Jesus feet.
Yes, faith beholds on yonder shore,
The stream of death passed safely DER.
His radiant form, and hears the song
Which saints in Aweetest notes plolong.
And dear shall be the placs, we trust,
Prepared to take his precious dust;
Where all who wish may cluster round
And tread the spot as hallowed ground.
o Nation, served by him 30 we'll,
His deeds to children's children tell;
And ever ~lustrous be the name
OF Grant Upon thy scroll of fame!

OMAHA is suffering iucalculable damage
by reason Of the failure to have a proper
building inspection ordinance. The pres
ent ordinance only covers the fire llmitr,
and the inspectors are officers whose time
is entirely occupied with other business.
Hence the law Is q dead letter. If the
city would require every person erecting
any building, no matter how small or
cheap, to procure q permit from the
building inspector, and to pay q fee, graded
according to the value of the structure,
an ample salary would be secured for a
competent inspector and all necessary as
distance. The fees, II graded about ss
follows, would supply tho salary: One
dollar fer buildings costing less than
Sl00; two dollars for buildings
less than $1,000; three dollars
for buildings under $1,000; and five dol
Lara for those over $4,000. II
a proper ordinance were passed and
enforced we should be aba to ascertain
exactly how m,ny new buildings are
being erected In Omaha, and We would
also he able to hand o the aEsosaor a COM
plete list of buildings put up during the
preceding year, together with their loca-
tion, cost, and other items. This would
enable the assessors to properly re
wise their assessment lists and
add the various improvements.
In this way the city would be immensely
benefited, Under the present. loose sys-
tenn no attention whatever Is paid by the
assessors to the improvements. For In

the assessment of this ground was So 500.

and the Increased value OF the r
property, the assessment is still S., 800
The actual value of that property Is not

IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

in The NEAR FUTURE.
"When Omaha has q hundred thous.
and population" That time is not now
long distant, though ten years ago II
seemed very far In the future. Then, we
had not o sewer or a pavement and
scarcely a curb. We boasted that we had
nearly q quarter of a hundred thousand
inhabitants but very few of us believed
1t. Now We approach the t~hree-quarte1
stretch, with more than 81, 1000 residents,
with the best system of sanitary sewerage
in the world, excellent pavements, hand
some business blocks by the hundreds,
thriving factories, and a Wholesale trade
which Is holding Its W against formid-
able rivals. Our city has outgrown its
swsddllng clotheu. 1t has outgrown the
advice of the moosbaoks and obstruction
lsts. While taking care of the present 1t
Is also laying plans and providing for the
future.
"When Omaha has q hundred thou
sand inhabitants" we may look first for q
thorough clearing out of the wooden
sidewalk nuisance. There ara signs al.
ready that our people will not permit 1t
to exist much longer. The rotten and
rottlng shells which disgrace many of the
handsome business houses before which
they are placed must disappear sooner or
later to be replaced by substantial stone,
concrete or asphalt. Dangerous and IN.
healthy as they are, the wooden ride
walks must go.
By the time Omaha has increased its
to one hundred Thousand we
may look for a radical reform in our
methods of property valuation. The
wealthy and influential citize rs, no count
their real estate possessions by the hun.
dred lots, will 40 longer be able to es-
cape the payment of an equal share of
city taxation while the men of moderate
means arc assessed up to the
full ratio of one-third. We shall
