MIR. JACK GALLiGAN vouches for the
honesty of Building Inspector Whitlock.
This voucher is good so far rs it goes.
Nobody charges that Mr.. Whitlock has
pocketed any part of the building per-
nit receipts. But Mr.. WhitlocK has
shown lamentable lack of official in
tegrity. He has certified to the council
and mayor that his two assistant inspec-
tors were entitled to twenty-sevcn days
pay in December at four dollars day
each, when they were only entitled to
pay for time actually employed at build
ing inspection, and there were not three
days in December when there was any
thing for them to inspect. Beside this,
there were only twenty-six working days
in December, all told. When an officer
certifies to fictitious services, he is con-
niving at fraud, and becomes an accom-
plice to bare-faced swindle.

Mayor Broatch must choke off the
tax-eaters. AS the executive head OF
the city government, it is his manifest
duty not only to withhold his approval
from every appropriation to pay barna-
cles and supernumeraries, but also to
call to account every city officer who
places upon the city's payroll employees
not expressly authorized by an ordi-
nance or resolution passed by a ajor-
ity of the council and approved by the
mayor. AS business man, Mayor
Broatch ought to know that the fast and
loose methods which prevail in the con-
duct Of our city affairs violate all busi-
ness principles, as we'll as of law.
Any firm or corporation that would
countenance such recklessness and extra
vagance would soon pass into the hands
ofareceiver. The mayor has been alto
gether too easy going. He has been in
the habit of signing vouchers for tax
eaters as a matter of misdirected SYM
pathy and absurd delicacy. While sup
porting Seavey's rights as chief of po-
lice he signed the warrant to pay Tom
IL poolOiOii
which he (the mayor) knew Cummings
never legally held. This was a case OF
misdirected sympathy. The mayor knew
that John Butler was appointed sergeant
at arms by the council as defiance and
insult to himself, the chief of police and
the police commissioners. But the
mayors sympathy for Butler outweighed
his conviction of impropriety, and
irregularity, and he approved Buffers
subsidy for $65 per month for a needless
service not authorized by ordinance or
legal resolution. The mayor knows
and knew all along that the city clerk
had no authority for putting three dep,
uties on the city payroll, but he has
never vetoed this bare-faced grab, be-
cause two of these deputies are the
| sons of two councilmen. This is alto
| gether too much delicacy for the aver
| age taxpayer. The worst feature of i,
is the open disregard of charter re-
strictions by councilmen and officers
who are sworn to obey the law, and the
seeming Indifference of the executive
in regard to the impositions practicet
| by city officials upon the taxpayers
| The mayor should order the discharge
| of every person who is on the city pay
| roll without legal authority.

FETID NASAL CATARRH.
Its SYMPTOMS and What 1t Leads To-The
Miserable Feelings, Etc.

This form of catarrh is essentially disease OF
the nasal cavity proper. and does not extend to
the vault of the pharynx. For rawhiie dry ca, a,
that region AS the result of structural changes
within the tissues of the mucous membrane, The
symptoms mainly consist in the accumulation IN
the nasal cavity OF offensive masses and crusts,
together with more or less OF fluid discharge
The nasal cavity thus obstructed the breathing
The sense OF smell is impaired, If not entirely
lost. The especial liability to take colds on the
least exposure exists, and the susceptibility to
changes of temperature and the influence or
damp atmosphere frequently causes thickening
OF the nasal mucous memprane. nr AZ the , seere
membrae.the masses are lifted from their bed.
and still losing their moisture, large crusts arc
gradually built up from below which mould
themselves in its narrower portions in such n
manner that the sufferer is unable to dislodge
them ef hsr ado IN IS in he
treme as the result OF this long retention, during
which time the putrefactive changes are CON
stantly going on. The sufferer may be entirely
unconscious OF the offensive breath. but Others
readily notice 1t and endeayor to shun the com
DaniOnship of such persons.
To Face and Features.
There are many cases wherein fetid catarrh
has done its destroying work In the nasal pass;
ages, poisoning the breath, running the sense OF
smelling and taste, and perceptibly marrng tho
features; sometimes. in long neglected or inn
properly treated cases giving them an appear
ance distorted repulsiye. almost deformed.
Much that is true has been said regarding tha
results OF caarrh impairlng the general n hea. Nun
ducng consumption and dyspepsia, or reaching
the ears and causing deafness. But Few persons
realize how general are the destructiyer results
of the disease in the nose and face alone.
Very many Of theCases OF tlattened and crook
ed noses come from this cause. The distortion
commonly known frog face Is a frequent
result dark rings about the eyes, red and in,

as the neglected catarrhal process proceeds.

ANOTHER effort is to be mad,

ANOTHER effort is to be made to COM
pei the railroad companies in Pennsylva-
MIA, engaged in the mining of coal, to
conform to the constitutional provision
which prohibits them engaging in
such business. An article of the consti-
tuition of Pennsylvania provides
that no incorporated company
doing the business of a common carrier
shall directly or indirectly prose cute or
engage in mining or manufacturing ar
ticles for transportation over it's works,
nor engage in any other business than
that of a common carrier. In defiance
of that very explicit provision the Read
ing railroad company has engaged
in mining coal and transporting
the product over its lines. An at
tempt was made about year ago
law, but nothing was accomplished.
Now the Knights of Labor are moving
in the matter, and if they are persist
ent it is possible the corporations will
ultimately be required to conform to
the law. 1t is most grave reproach to
the state of Pennsylvania that this en-
tirely plain provision of the constitu-
tion, clearly just in its character and in
the public interest, has been and is
still defantly violated by the Reading
company. When people tolerate
such disregard OF fundamental law
they invite and encourage the abuses
practced upon them by the great COR
porations, and forfeit the right
to complain of the oppression
and the wrongs to which they
are subjected. There should
be universal demand from the people
of Pennsylvania for the enforcement of
the constitutional provision, made so
strong and earnest that the authorities
and the judiciary would not dare to dis
regard it. Much OF the fault in this
matter, as. with those OF a similar char
acter in every state, is due to the in
Omaha daily bee., 1888-01-24

trade in our favor with Australia, but,
as matter OF fact, the trade itself with
the colonies is SO small, compared to
what it might have been under other
conditions, that the balance Of trade ar
gument counts for nothing. In scores of
lines America could compete on more
than an even basis with England and
Germany in the colonies II she could
secure orders and satisfactory freight
rates. The representation of our man
ufactured industries ut the Melbourne
exposition will doubtless be of consider
able advantage, but its discussion would
be of still greater advantage than the
exhibit If it could convince congress
that the best way to secure trade with
foreign countries is to enable foreign
countries to buy of US.
Omaha daily bee., 1888-01-24

The exhibit which the BEE makes
through it's reporters concerning un-
authorized and lawless employment of a
small army of deputies, clerks and in
spectors, calls for the purging of the
municipal payroll.
The charter provisions relative to ap-
pointments and appropriations have
been wilfully ignored and disregarded.
No city officer has a right to make any
appointment or create any indebtedness
which is not specifically authorized by
the charter, passed by an ordinance
in strict conformity to the charter,
or by resolution passed by
a recorded vote of the majority Of the
council and approved by the mayor, or
passed over his veto. Our city officials,
from the city clerk down to the build
ing inspector, have raided the treasury
by the connivance OF the council and
the laXness of the mayor to live up to
the strict letter of the law. Lucrative
positions for political favorites and
barnacles have multiplied until the city
treasury is worse than empty. Lawless
overlaps have been created, and all the
safeguards and barriers which the
charter contains against extravaganza
and fraud have been overthrown. 1t is
high time now to call halt and purge
the pay roll of supernumeraries and
hangers-on. Parties who have drawn
money out of the city treasury without
rendering service should be made to re-
fund or taken in hand and punished
through the courts.
