CEDAR BLOCK PAVING.

Omaha has been testing paving ma
terial. Some of her streets were put
down IN Asphaltum, others in cedar
blocks The Heard Of the 18th says:
Chairman Baicombe and Mr.. Heimrod
OF the board Of public works were out on a
tour Of inspection yesterday. They visited
the corner OF Farnam and Twenty-eighth
streets, where some Of the paving had been
torn up in making some repairs. They
were surprised to find that many OF the
blocks, although having been laid but
eighteen mouths, were decayed and rotten.
They also found that the concrete base
was not made according to the specifica-
tons, and that Il would almost crumble at
a touch. Consequently, more care viii be
taken hereafter IN letting contracts for
this kind Of work. and careful inspection
will also be made.

MORE SALT.

Anthony Republican.
Now the Anthony salt find is as much
ahead of the Kingman salt in purity,
thickness of salt strata and workable
value as the Kingman find is ahead of
that at Hutchinson. Our salt veins ag-
gregate between three and four hundred
feet in thickness, one single strata 6fteen
feet thick being of absolutely pure crys-
taline rock salt, vein which is so far
artesian in its character as TO rise within
thirty feet of the surface, which can be
pumped and evaporated without the ex-
pense of sinking large shaft to the
hear more of Anthony's salt is because
we have not been satisfied to stop with
the salt find, but we are going down,
down, until depth of three thousand
feet is reached. Our contractors are tied
down to make that depth with forfeit
bond of 100000 and they will make it at
whatever cost. We are down 500 feet
now, have passed beneath the salt after
finding a very peculiar crystalline salt
that is colored beautiful red tint, and
are now in the limestone of the eastern
Kansas coal measures. Unlike the other
towns Anthony is not content to stop
with salt alone, but still perseveres. If
Wichita capitalists wish to develop our
salt strata they can knock the Hutchin-
son workings silly and compete with
them with a cheaper and purer CONNER
cial article and thus help develop a
friend instead of an aggressive rival.

Immigration statistics show that the
influx of foreigners to this country is
and has been for several years at the
rate of four hundred thousand a year
so far from falling off it will increase so
long as all the principal European coun-
tries are constantly threatened with war
and in many cases the people are living
under severe and tyranical governments.
1t has been the policy 10 admit all for
eigners irrespective of race or nationali-
ty. and it Is not likely that there will be
an early change in the laws concerning
immigration, save in regard to the Chi
nese, who have managed TO get into the
country in large numbers despite the

There may be no foundation of fact in
the scheme reported from Pittsburg in
regard to the nomination of Mr. Blaine,
nolenS volens. at Chicago, but there is
no question that he is the personal
choice of large majority of the Repub-
licans of the country. No name men,
toned in pubic iii any quarter creates
the enthusiasm that invariably responds
TO that of the magnetic leader from
Maine. We do not say he is the only
man the Republican party can elect this
year, for we do believe it will elect its
nominee, whoever it may be, but we do
believe that if the convention should
name Mr.. Blaine as its choice that the
victory in November would be even
more sweeping than that of 1868 or -.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6, 1883


The Legislative work of the ses
sion cannot begin in the House of
Representatives until the commit
tees are appointed, and one whole
month has now been wasted since
the House convened, simply because
the Speaker has been so pestered
by certain members Scramblng for
high and SNOWY places on the com
mittees that he has had no chance
to finish the list. 1t is singular
Inconsistency that members should
unite in priising the fairness of
Mr. Carlisle, and yet he unwilling
to allow him to make up his com
mittces rs lie thinks best. 1t is evi
dent that these gentlemen have an
eye to the satisfaction of their own
personal ambitions, and only sec.
0nd to the advantage to the people
who hire their services. No one
would laugh more contemptuously
than they at the petty chickering's
of stage players, who, while claim
ing to be entirely devoted to their
art and raised above all sorditl con
sideratlons, are willing to disap.
point audiences, break contracts
with managers. and, sometimes,
even do physical violence to each
other, because their names have
been printed on the show-bills i'm
letters only four inches high in.
stead of six; and yet the sonabbles
which take place over little qucs
tions of precedence in Congress are
scarcely less ridiculous. They arc
vastly further reaching in their an
noying results, however, as appears
III the present instance. That the
deslslntive business of whole ma.
tion should be forced to stand still
till Mr.. A can assure himself that
Mr.. BIS name Is not going to stand
one place higher up on the commit
tee list than his own, or that Mr.. G
as not to have three chairmanships
to his own two, is worse than alb,
surd, and Mr.. Carlisle would have
conferred positive favor on his
cOuntrymen If he had ignored all
