LAST Saturday'smeeting Of the county

LAST Saturday 'smeeting Of the county
commissioners was attended chiefly by
the paving, grading, sewer and sweep
ing contractors, who appeared to be very
anxious that the proposition for the
Yankton road should be modified in
some way. The true inwardness of that
call on the commissioners was, however,
desire on the part of these contractors
to have tho special county election post
poned until after the city sewer bond
election. If this railroad project cannot
be carried out without combining with
contractors and bOodlers, it had better be
abandoned altogether. 1t is high time
that Omaha should break up the corrupt
contractors ring which manipulated the
last legislature to the detriment of this
city, has exerted such a baneful influ-
ence upon the city council and is trying
It's level best to control the county
board. At yesterdays meeting Of the
commissioners the same gang was pres
ent and listened with satisfaction to the
report against calling the election.

THAT corrupt combination exists
between Omaha councilmen and con-
tractors is an open secret. No conceal
ment of their intimate relations has
been attempted. The enormous sums
which certain of these contractors have
drawn out Of the city treasury are mat
ters of notoriety. The raids, which they
are making successfully at every session
by voting themselves extras through
their dummies in the council, who are
continually overriding the board of
public works, afford sufficient cause for
alarm. Tweedism has become rampant,
and unless it receives effective check,
we shall roll up a mountain Of debt
without having anything more to show
for it than few miles of rotten wooden
pavement, tumble-down sewers, and
deep gashes through the hillsides
which have been graded to accommo-
date contractors and land sharks.

AFTER expending over $4,000 for
grading Eleventh street to its full width,
it is now proposed to narrow the street
and to sell about one-third OF the graded
street. The contractor for this grading,
Mr.. STUNT, is said to be the prime mover
for this proposed land grab. The ques-
tion naturally arises, where will the tax
payers get back The money expended for
grading that part of Eleventh street
which is to be abandoned? Why was not
the scheme to narrow the street carried
out before any grading was done at the
public expense, and let the purchasers
of the abandoned strips pay for their
own grading? Doesn't this little scheme
strikingly exhibit the peculiar enter
prise of the council bell-wether and his
gang?

been one of the strongest friends of Mr..

take Mr.. Blaine atqhis word and to re.
gard him as who'll s. out Of the race. Mr..

republican success under any one of the
able leaders who ure now most promi-
nently mentioned as possible candidates.

Not Wholly Satisfactory.

1t may be regarded as quite certain
that the reply of the secretary of war to
the house resolution asking information
regarding the battle flags in the GUS
tody of that department will not be uni
versally accepted as u satisfactory vim
dication of the course which it had been
proposed to take respecting those tro-
phies. The soldiers OF the country,
whose indignant protest against the pro-
posal to return these flags caused the
president to promptly revoke the au-
thority he had given to do this, will not
be convinced by the statement of the
secretary of war that there were any
sufficient precedents giving warrant for
the proposal to surrender the flags, and
great many other people less deeply
interested in the subject will be COM
pelled in candor to reach the same con-
clusion.
1t was not ingenious on the part of
the secretary OF war to imply that his
predecessors, and particularly Mr..
Stanton, were responsible for instituting
the policy of returning confederate
flags, for the facts he was compelled to
present are against any such iIhplica-
tion; besides which nobody will believe,
so far at least as Mr.. Stanton is con-
cerned, that he could have been induced
under any circumstances to favor gen.
eral return Of these flags. But the SIM
pie truth is that the confederate flags
which were removed from the war de-
partment during the incumbency OF Mr..
Stanton were merely loaned, except such
as were sent to military organizations
by which they had been captured.
Whatever significance this matter
may have in a political way has not been
removed by the reply Of the secretary OF
war to the house resolution. 1.-THE fact
remains that there was no precedent
to justify the proposal to return the con-
federate flags, a proceeding in any event
for which the executive department had
no authority, and that the president in
approving the proposal exhibited q
spirit offensive to the loyal sentiment OF
the country. In revoking the order for
the return Of the flags he did not mani
fest the least consideration for this Of
Tended sentiment, but rather allowed IL
to be inferred that had he possessed the
authority the order would have been
carried out. 1t was mistake that will
not be forgotten.

Now that Omaha has been made a
point of Immediate transportation an
opportunity is given for local capitalists
to build bonded warehouse. There
will be ample employment for such a
structure and its use will increase with
the growth Of the city. Under the new
regime importers can have their goods
sent in bond directly from the wharf to
this city where the appraisement and
collection OF duties will be made. Until
stores are provided our merchants will
be compelled to take their goods imme-
diately upon arrival whether it is con-
venient or not. Often it pays business
men to allow goods to remain in store
and pay storage charges until such time
as they are ready to place them on sale,
when duties are paid and the goods re-
moved. Who will build the first bonded
storehouse for Omaha?

Mr.. CORBIN has given the striking
coal miners, whose demand for high
wages he has resisted, twenty Thousand
dollars to be distributed among the
most needy of them. This is a vicious
gift. 1t is adding insult to injury.
What the strikers asked for was living
wages for their work. This was refused
them and a money gift substituted.
There could not be more degrading
course of action adopted by Mr.. Corbin
and his co-monopolists. 1t is a deliber-
ate attempt to break down all independ-
ence and manhood in their workmen
and should be hissed down by public

AT the last meeting of the council,
Hascall introduced an ordinance to re-
peal the ordinance directing the treas
urer to sell $25, 900 city hall bonds, the
proceeds of which were to be used for
paying the contractors claim for work
done on the city hall basement. The
object of this move is evidently to mis-
lead the public and the courts as re-
CARDS the collusion OF the council job
bers with the contractors. 1t is also in
the nature Of a threat that the council
does not propose to spend another dollar
on the city hall in its present location.

and contractors before the building
season opens. ..
1t is the manifest interest OF working
men to get the highest wages and most
liberal hours OF labor that can be Sc
cured from employers. Labor unions
and federations OF trades are the most
effective agencies for upholding wages
and enforcing the demands of working
men. There are times and seasons
when skilled labor can command its
own price and dictate its own terms,
and seasons when the mechanics en-
gagged in building trades must take pru-
dent counsels. Such a season is now be-
fore us. The past season has witnessed
an overgrowth Of American cities. The
building boom last year was not con-
fined to the west and south. New
York, Philadelphia, Boston and Balti-
more showed extraordinary building
activity in 1887. 1t is but natural that
u reaction should follow the overpro-
duction Of buildings. The presentyear,
independent of the usual dullness of
presidential election years, will witness
a general slackness in building opera
tions, not only in the large cities, but
also in cities of the second and third
class. 1t is we'll established principle
in commerce that you can not raise
prices on declining market. The
same natural law of demand and supply
governs industry.
When there is an active demand for
mechanics and laborers high wages can
be maintained, and the demands Of
workinglnen for reduced hours and ex-
tras can readily be enforced. But in a
season Of general dullness, when there
is a surplus of unemployed mechanics
and laborers, it is up hill work to COM
mana or enforce the highest rate Of
wages and a reduction OF the
hours of labor. Last year nearly
eight millions were spent in Omaha
for building improvements. The con-
struction of mammoth business blocks,
banks and packing houses employed
thousands of skilled mechanics. This
year the outlook so far is not very prom
blocks already under construction, the
business buildings so far projected will
not employ one-half the building force
which was at work last season.
The abandonment of work on the city
hall, the failure of the new hotel pro-
ject, and the break up of the Knights Of
Pythias building scheme have discour-
aged property owners who were dis
posed to invest in costly building enter
| prises. This state of facts should not be
lost sight of by workingmen. If they
can come to an agreement with the
builders on last years scale of wages
they should be content. There is
strength in union, but unless there is
prudence in the counsels OF working
men, they are liable to make very seri-
GUS and costly blunders.
On the other hand the contractors and
builders should exhibit fairness and
liberality in treating with the working
men. They should endeavor, if possi-
BILE, to come to terms mutually agree
able. They must recognize the right of
wOrkingmen to act in concert even when
they do not feel able to yield to all of
| their demands.

THE cities of st, Paul aud Minneapo-

step in the matter, to form new board

There is one unfortunate commission from

mon school education, and not one cent for

though his final speech, with its indefinite
