Worthy of Consideration.

There is still one vacancy in the
directory of the Omaha board of trade.
which is to be filed by a special cleo
tion Wednesday, December IL.
A prominent member Of the board of
trade writes to the BEE as fOllows:
am quite sure that you will agree with
me that the directory Of our board of trade
should contain the names of the representa-
tives of the leading industries of this city;
ana il we are to establish board of trade
and do auy business at all we must have o
representative, especially from the grain
trade.
If it is in sympathy with your ideas, will
you kindly make mention of this through
the columns of your paper and If you think
it advisable, would like to have Mr.. Mer-
RAMS name mentioned, because he is a rep
resentative Of the leading grain house in this
city; and know personally that he is will
ing tc give this matter lis time and atten-
ton, and will do all that he can to further
the interests for which the board Of trade
was organized.
The BEE has no disposition to cham
pion the candidacy of any member of
the board to the vacant directOrship,
but it considers the suggestions made
above as worthy of consideration. The
gentleman who offers the suggestions
assures us that his desire to see Mr..
Merriam on the board is not inspired by
any personal motive, but only the wish
to make our board of trade more efficient
by placing its management in the hands
of business men who are engaged in
handling the products of Nebraska, and
are familiar with the practical workings
of boards of trade.

ConkIing's Commendation.

Roscoe Conkling is quoted as having a
high opinion of Mr.. Robert T. Lincolns avail
ability as a candidate for the presidency.
This comedies with the general Judgment,
though the general Judgment is not greatly
strengthened by it. Mr.. Conkling was never
noted for political sagacity, and he is badly
soured man in his view Of public opinion. He
remembers that Mr. Lincoln was with him
in advocating the selection of President
Grant for third term, and this is potent
appear to his prejudice. 1t is possible that
Mr.. Conkling might show some interest in
Mr.. Lincoln's election IL he were nominated
"a different kind of interest from that he
showed in MIR. Blaine's.

OMAHA board of trade stock

OMAHA board of trade stock has
proved very good investment. The
original stockholders have paid all the
way from sl25 to $3.50 per share. The
more recent members have paid $500 for
membership, emitting them to one
share. Each share OF that stock will be
worth 81 900 in less than five years, and
pay dividend Of ten per cent on that
amount. The rents Of the chamber OF
commerce building already exceed
$4,000 year, with fair prospect OF in
creasing TO $50, 900 during the coming
year. Ten thousand dollars pays the
interest on the bonded debt and ex-
penses of running the building. With
q sinking fund surplus of $4,000 year
the debt will be wiped out in less than
seven years.

Of prisoners as assistants to the jailer.
Less than year ago a man convicted
of manslaughter was allowed the free
dom OF the Jail, and in his capacity Of
"trusty" he virtually had charge of his
associates. The 'trusty" system should
be prohibited. So far as cleanliness
is concerned there is no doubt that the
Jail has been well kept, but the system
of employing female prisoners to do pit
cleaning is not conducive TO good dis
cipline. While the reports published
about the Jail are no doubt sensational
they may serve a good purpose in
awakening a proper interest in the in.
ternal management of the county

IT Is not surprising that Mr.. Randall
is entirely satisfied with the make up OF
the house committees, in view of the
generous consideration that was shown
himself and his friends. It was n great
concession to Randall that he was re-
tanned on the appropriations committee,
but the favor shown him extended far
beyond this. OF the twelve democrats
in the present congress who in the last
voted with him to prevent consideration
of measures to revise the tariff, six now
hold chairmanships, and some Of the
others are provided for so that their
places are about as good as chairman
ships. This is conspicuously so in the
cases OF Foran and Gay, uncomprOmising
allies Of Randall, who are on the appro-
priations committee with him. The for
mer Of these, who represents the Cleve-
land, o., district, Is as firm supporter Of
the high tariff as there is in congress and
will be completely under the control of
Randall. The influence Of the Penn
sylvania congressman must certainly
have been used to effect these disposals
OF his friends, aud II remains to be seen
whether these concessions are to be re-
ciprOcated bv him.

Some mighty truth from chaos, when

To cheer the burden'd hearts of men.

VERY vigorous movement is making
in Philadelphia in behalf Of tariff re-
form. A mass meeting will be held on
the 9th of this month, and among the
signers of the call are great many
business men and manufacturers, some
of them representing among the largest
houses and industrial enterprises in that
city. They are also of every shade of
political opinion. Many workingmen are
likewise manifesting sympathy with the
movement. The promise is that the
meeting will be an imposing affair,
which cannot fail to exercise very con-
siderable influence.

THERE seems to be serious disposi

THERE seems to be serious disposi-
tion on the part of the new district at
torney of New York, Colonel Fellows,
to signalize his early administration by
instituting a prosecution OF Jay Gould
and Russell Sage on charge of grand
larceny. We are not aware OF the full
nature Of the circumstances on which
the charge would be based, but tho dis
patches indicate that it is the unlawful
conversion OF property by trustees.
Such prosecution would be one Of tho
most sensational of the time, but it is to
be expected that some way will be found
to prevent it. The slippery individu-
ais implicated would make very con-
siderable sacrifice rather than be pill
loried before the world for grand lar.

bids of the.BEs, Herald and Republican were

read.
Councilman Kierstead again called the at
tention OF the councilmen TO the fact that the
BEE was the lowest bidder, and moved that
II be given the contract. Councilman Kaspar
seconded the motion in an able and concise
manner, and said that the bid was tho lowest
ever submitted for doing the city printing.
He concluded by saying the BKR had larger
circulation than the Herald and Republican
combined.
Councilman Ford moved that the report of
the printing committee be adopted, and that
the city clerk be instructed to rc-advcrtisc
for bids Councilman Kitchen seconded the
motion.
Councilman Kierstcad said it would be do
ing injustice to the BEE 10 re-advertisc. IL
had complied with the rules made by the
council when the last award for the printing
was made, and it should not now be dealt
with in such u shabby way.
Councilman Burnham spoke in the same
strain. and asked that the contract be given
to the BEE.
A standing vote being called for the report
OF the committee on printing was adopted by
the following vote:
Ayes-Ford, Lee, Bechel, Manvillc, Kitchen,
Boyd, Snyder, Van Camp, Baily, Hascall.
Nays-Burnham, Counsman, Kasper, Kier-
stead, Bedford, Lowry.
The committee then rose and the council
adjourned without considering the reports of
special committees.

vated FORM became larger in blotches and more
and more distressing, We were frequently
obliged to get up in the night and rub him with
soda in water strong liniments, etc. Finally,
we called other physicians until no less than six
had attempted to cure him, all alike failing and
the child steadily getting worse and worse, until
about the 10th of last July. when we began to
give him CuTICURA REsoLvENT internally and
the CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP externally,
and by the last of August he was so nearly we'll
that we gave him only one dose of REsOLvENT
about every second day for about ten days
longer, and he has never been troubled since
with the horrible malady In all we used less
than one half of bottle of CUTICURA RESOL-
VENT, little less than one box OF CUTICURA,
and only one cake of CUTICURA SOAP.

THERE are none so blind as those who
will not see. Councilman Kitchen pre-
tends that he cannot tell who the lowest
bidder is on the city printing bids. He
says that the BEES bid is by the hun
dred words, while the Republican bids by
the inch and square. How was it last
summer when Cadet Taylor was bidding
by the folio, while all the other bids
were by the squarep Mr.. Kitchen
appears to have had no trouble
then in reducing the bids by
the square to folio measurement.
He reported in favor of the Republican
by making one hundred words the stand
ard. Now when the BEE bids by the
standard which the council established
and he finds that the Republican is un-
derbid by the Herald and BEE both,
Mr.. Kitchen pleads the baby act and
pretends he cannot compute the bids.
We boldly assert that there is not a ten
year-old boy in the public schools who
could not tell which is the lowest bid.
For the benefit Of Mr.. Kitchen, we will
state what is known to all printers, that
an inch in nonpareil measure has twelve
lines, and that the average number OF
words in a line of Omaha newspaper
columns is seven. This makes the inch
of nonpareil equal to eighty-four words,
while the square of ten lines is equal
to seventy words. Now, the Republican's
bid is so cents per inch for the first in.
sertion, or 40 cents per square, while
the Herald's bid is q cents per square,
and the BEES bid 25 cents for 100 words.
Does Mr.. Kitchen see the diffe renee in
these bids? If not, he does not want to
see it,
