Effort

Postmaster General Dickinson is re-
ported to be utilizing the spare time of
the clerks in the sixth auditors Office
against the re republicans in the coming
national campaign. The sixth auditor
passes upon all star route accounts. and
as the Michigan statesman is expected
to do something to help his party in the
contest of this year, he Gems to have
hit upon the idea that perhaps the star
route accounts in his department. under
republican administrations might afford
him a chance to furnish a little cam
paign matter. Mr.. Dickinson should
take counsel of experience and be very
careful not to promise anything
in this line that he cannot carry
out. He is doubtless aware that
when the administration of which he is
a part came into power the country was
promised some startling revelations of
republican ~rascality. He also ought to
know that Investigations were insti-
tuted for the purpose of ~substantiating
the democratic charges, and that they
most signally failed to do so. The coun-
try had been told, for example, that
there had been a systematic plundering
of the treasury, and the public mind was
prepared for the most serious showing
of official corruption and malfeasance.
An investigation, made us carefully and
thoroughly as a democratic committee
anxious to discover something wrong
could make it, resulted in finding that
the treasury was short one cent,
and as we remember this deficit
was traced and made good. In
other departments the searching demo-
cratic eye, keenly peering into every
corner where some wrong practice
might have found a hiding place, failed
TO find anything to justify the allega-
tions of republican ~rascality. 1t was a
humiliating confession which the party
of reform was compelled to make that
their charges were all false and ground
less. Hence the expediency of Mr..
Dickinson being extremely cautious
about promising his party any help from
an investigation of republican conduct
in his department. He Is yet young in
service and a blunder at the beginning
of his political areer might be fatal to
his future. He is doing fairly well in
administering the affairs of his office.
His disposition to improve the mail facili
ties OF the west, which had become
badly demoralized under his predeces-
sor, has received merited commenda-
ton. If he will devote himself strictly
to the duties of his office there is reason
to believe that if compelled to retire
from the public service next year he
al do so with credit to himself. But
he will run a great risk in attempting
to supply from the records of his depart
ment campaign material against the re-
publicans.

ONE of the curious as we'll as absurd
points made by a prominent business
man, whose opinion we quote elsewhere,
is that the BEE building will hide the
city hall. That depends from what
point you take your view. Coming up
Farnam the United States National
hides the First National and the Paxton
hotel hides the Paxton building, corner
of Fifteenth street, and the Chamber of
Commerce hides the court house. On
the north side of the street the New
York Life will hide the BEE building.
Going down the street, from upper Far
nam, the city hall will hide the BEE
building, the Paxton building hides the
Mccormick corner, and the Merchants
First National hides the United States
National. In any city, compactly built,
n large block must necessarily hide
another. Travellers coming in from the
west will see the city hall before
they get a view of the BEE building,
and the ten-story New York Life build
ing will loom up above the new Paxton
block. Coming across the river from
the east the view presented will be pro-
miscuous, and the largest buildings on
Harvey, Farnam and Douglas will APP
pear in perspective with the city hall
tower rising eighty-two feet above the
BEE building, and the tower of the New
York Life fully one hundred feet above
the Paxton block tower.

this struggle for their rights and the double
dealing of Contractor Diess IL only a small
part OF IT. He states TO the contractors
union he has four union men broken from the
ranks disguised with union workings, etc,
inducing other contractors TO hope they may
do the same and finally draw others and ell
from the ranks. But the facts are that these
members have Joined Mr.. Diess in partnership
ana articles OF agreement are to be submitted
to the bricklayers at their meeting tonight,
and as TO MIR. Johnson's statement of men
coming from near and far, their not wanting
union men, can get along without them, is
all nonsense the gentleman should well be
ashamed OF. There are less non-union men
working In the city today than there ever
was, and none coming in so far except one
cnticed from Wisconsin. who on his arrival
and learning facts, returned Immediately,
and should these many car loads we are
threatened with arrive we are satisfied they
will do the same or remain TO get even for
being brought by unprinciplcd advertisers
from their homes to this bonanza that is
pictured. The bricklayers do not fear any
travelling brothers as they all know there is
trouble here and always assist rather than
otherwise. The union remains solid TO a
man, are In fine financial condition and good
management, besides this are daily receiv-
ing sympathetic ana substantial p~roffers
from all over the United States, showing the
interest taken in Omaha b~ricklayers
by distant members OF their craft, still we
sincerely hope matters will be settled soon,
before harm Is done to our city; are ready at
any time to receive the contractors with rea-
son and assure them when all settlements
are made, there will be no i'll feeling toward
any contractor or their body and trust here
after all matters concerning themselves will
be settled in o more sensible manner.

Randall's measure which will be urged
in opposition by the protection branch
Of the democracy will not be ready Tor
consideration on the house calendar for
a number OF weeks to come. Meantime
the republicans are quietly collating a
bill which will, it is said, be a compro-
mise between that Of Mr.. Randall's and
that of the ways and means committee
under Mr.. Mills. In the interval, how
ever, the senate has been filling in its
spare moments by arguments upon the
tariff based upon Mr.. Sherman's motion
to refer the presidents message, and a
number of able speeches on both sides
of the question have been heard in that
branch of congress.
On the house side it is stated that al
ready one hundred names Of members
desiring to speak on this question have
been handed in to the speaker. When
the flood gates of oratory on the tariff
question are once let down the country
may be prepared to be overwhelmed
with arguments upon protection to
American industry and o~vertaxation of
the farming interests.
There seems to be little probability Of
any legislation which will result in a
wise reform of the tariff without refer
ence to the pressing demands OF local
constituencies or the presidential aspi-
rations Of a number of ambitious candi-
dates. Congress is so divided, both in
the senate and in the house, that the
battle for tariff reform which was so
loudly heralded by the presidents mes
sage, is likely to result only in a skirm-
ish in the pages of the Congressional
Record without any decisive vote upon
a completed bill which will receive the
sanction of the chief executive.
The whole question will be relegatcd
to the stump during the ensuing CAM
paign, and the old charges of obstruc-
ton on the part of the democratic min
GRITTY and the subserviency to industrial
corporation influence on the part of the
republicans will fly like a shuttle-cock
from one political platform to another.
Meantime the people of the country
who have a deep interest in a re duction
of the treasury surplus through a reduc-
ton of taxation will continue to wonder
at the failures of representative govern
ment and to ponder upon remedies for
the refusal of senators and representa-
tives to carry out the will of their con-
~stituents.

HER HONOR SATISFIED.
Jens Kristensen Marries the Girl He
DishonOred.

Jens P. Kristensen, who has languished in
the county Jail since the sth Of February last
cogitating over the rugged ways of the trans
gressor was yesterday given his freedom
upon his agreeing to be joined in wedlocl
with Sophia Peterson, a comedy looking
Swedish girl, who alleges that Jens led her
from the paths of virtue. 1t will be remem-
bered that the case was tried before Justice
Anderson and occupied several days. Jens
at the time stoutly denied that he was in any
way responsible for Sophia's condition, and
in tragic tones announced that he would
sooner rot in Jail than marry her. Conse-
quently he was given q chance to carry out
this latter threat, and six weeks of Douglas
county diet seems to have altered his ex-
pressed purpose, and yesterday he an
nounced his intention TO make Sophia Mrs.
Kristensen. Accordingly the girl was sum
moned to the bastile, and she and Jens, in
company with q male friend, went before
Judge Shields and procured a marriage
license.
Armed with this paper the trio immedi-
ately adjourned DO the court Of Justice An
derson, who pl esented a bill Of S11.40 to the
groomsman TO cover the costs incurred at
the trial in February. Jens himself was, in
a financial way, broke, but his friends came
to the rescue, made up the sum, and then the
magic words were said which made him a
full-tedged married man. He then left the
court with an air of gloom and sullenness, his
wife following close at his heels.

Two of Hmm

Yesterday there were In town fnB
superinte9 ients Of two state institutions,
both OF w >m are already well known In this
city. They are DIR. Armstrong; who has
charge Of the institute for the feeble.minded
at Beatrio =, and DR.. T.. A Kelley who has
charge Of tde insane asylum at Norfolk in
this state. DIR. Armstrong says that his
institution is crowded now with sixty-fve
patients, but that an addition is TO be made
to it, which will be completed In June, which
will accommodate about seventy more. Tbs
doctor has already filed applications for all
the accommodations which he expects 10 have
for some n onths TO come.
DIR. Kelly says that his asylum now con.
tains 10l patients, all OF whom have been
received from thirty-two counties north OF
the Platte. Some Of these u~nfortunates
were formerly quartered In the asylum at
Lincoln and were transferred to Norfolk,
when the n w institution at that place was
opened a few months ago. Every bed In the
asylum he S US is occupied and some Of tho
patients are compelled to sleep upon the
floor. This edition now in course Of crpc-
tion will be c5mpleted on the LIST Of August,
when accommodations will be provided for
l20 more people. Drs. Armstrong and KEEL
ley are the youngest doctors In Nebraska
who have boon intrusted with the care Of

not for himself, by such a course, which
is really a reflection upon the character
as gentlemen OF his political associates
on the committee Of whom he is pre-
stunned to be the leader. II he adopts
this method of emphasizing his dis
pleasure with the course of the majority
IN not consulting the minority during
the preparation OF the tariff bill, we
venture to think that the method is i'll
advised. Men are not to be convinced
of their mistakesi Cor induced to
correct them by personal depre-
citation and by having their in
telligence ridiculede nor is it
statesmanlike TO employ such a method.
Mr.. Reed is rather proud of his gifts of
wit and sarcasm, which he often uses to
good advantage, but there are occasions
when these valuable aids to argument
are not admissible, and such an occa-
sion is in the discussion Of n tariff bill,
when only practical common sense and
thoughtful intelligence are required.
The republicans in congress will find
their opportunity and their advantage
in taking high ground in discussing
the revenue question, and not in at
tempting to depreciate their political
opponents by methods Of attack un-
worthy of intelligent school boys.
What the country is waiting TO hear on
this question is sound, sensible argu-
ment, and il Mr.. Reed has none to offer
he will best serve his party and himself
by keeping silent.

The Rricklayer,s RenIy.

We still hear from the contractors 'laboI
trust" and must say it is disgraceful to say
the least, for a body of contractors, who are
the ''public's protectors to organize to de,
stroy by stagnation, all mechanics and labor
ingmen who dare assert their rights, and
what is more disgraceful is the statement
given the press, which we well know are
merely bluffs and bulldozing intended for
the bricklayers, and to mislead the public as
far as the workmen are concerned. 1t Is a
useless waste of wind, as they are better
posted in regard to the south than either of
the two gentlemen. Mechanics are having
their handsful of work in the south at as
good wages as are requested in Omaha, and
we fear no such influx as they threaten, as
the public has taken no great interest in the
present trouble. We trust when working
time comes, and action, not wind counts,
they will interest themselves more and learn
exactly who is TO be blamed for all noise and
nonsense. The b~ricklayers' union have al
ways desired friendship with contractors,
and have received threats and abuse
in return, and are glad to say, many
OF the Leading contractors are beginning to
see the good points in the new rules and are
''sickenedn indeed at the action taken by
others and are remaining perfectly quiet.
They and all expect when MIR. Withheld re-
turns from California, where he has been
visiting, this gentleman being the oldest
contractor and has the confidence of the peo-
pie and a gentleman who does not wrangle
and threaten without cause, when the best
and most honorable of these gentlemen get
together without the small butchers, who
always follow, spouting and snariing after
really worthy people like ours, we feel the
business will be amicably settled fairly and
squarely To all without the useless barking
and ~wrangiing: The bricklayers have been

THE international council of women
is to meet in Washington ON the 25th
inst, and is going TO show those wicked
men how to run a convention. The
coming council is intended TO celebrate
the fortieth anniversary Of the first
women suffrage convention. In the
language OF politics, all the big guns
will be there, notably Miss Susan b.
Anthony, Mrs. Gouger, Mrs. Foster and
Miss Helen Taylor and Mrs. Charles
Dixie, of England. A nice time is ex-
pected. Just like a real mans conven-
ton, a committee is now in Washington
engaged in the preliminary work of send
ing out circulars and programmes OF
different sorts, and as much as $500 worth
OF postage stamps have been used.
Some murmuring in the rank and file
has been heard owing TO the fact that
the invitations were printed on common
white paper, whereas the latest shades
are Nile-green tints. But the mug
wumps". are in the minority, and the
convention intends To take up sterner
stuff for discussion than such trivial
Affairs as fashion. -.
