They Want the Earth.

Jim Creighton is, as usual, playing
dog in the manger, and trying his built
doing tactics on the council in connec-
ton with the proposed new city build
ings. Jim is opposed to any public
improvements unless they can be made
profitable to that thrifty firm, We, Us &
Co. If We, Us & Go. had an assurance
Of the contract for erecting the pro-
jccted city buildings, Honest Jim would
not be hanging around the council
chamber and making loud threats every
timea resolution or ordinance is pending
to complete the city hall building.
This is the milk In the cocoanut.
1t is currently estimated that We, Us
& Co. have cleaned up Overcome hundred
thousand dollars out OF contracts with
the city for sewerage, paving, curbing,
ETC., during the past three years. II
was the undetermined work OF that firm
with Doodle legislators that inspired
Russell, Slater, and their ilk, TO mutt
late the charter and rob Omaha of the
benefits of parks and boulevards. The
issue of bonds for the purchase Of large
tracts OF land for park and boulevard
purposes would have seriously inter-
fered with the greedy schemes
of We, Us q Co. TO monopo-
lie all the bonds that the
city is authorized to issue within the
ten per CEN limit.
The oil room and lobby expenses
against parks and boulevards have long
since been added to the extras which
We, Us g. Co. are in the habit Of log
rolling through the council every few
weeks.
The citizens Of Omaha have patiently
borne up with these impositions as they
have necessarily submitted to the auda-
cious manipulation Of their representa-
tives in the council.
But forbearance will soon give way tC
resentment. If We. Us s. Co. are not
satisfied with the ill-gotten gains that
have beer filched from the pockets OF
Omaha Taxpayers for wretched cedar
block pavenents and tumbied-in sewers
by their undetermined work, they will
presently discover that high-handed
jobbery will not be tolerated TO rule and
ruin this community.

CANCELLING the contracts with Re-

been finished last season was commend
able on the part OF the council. If the
board of public works and the city

moniously on the question Of public
works, the city would be treated with
due consideration by the army of
contractors.

fords him so much qualification.

The announcement that Dom Pedro. en-
peror of Brazil, has recovered from his re-
cent illness and will soon sail for home should
afford much qualification to his people. 1t is
not often that a ruler possessing almost alb
solute power is so thoroughly in harmony
with the spirit of liberalism as is this broad
minded and intellectual monarch. While his
memory will always be rcvered for the act of
emancipation which has given liberty to
thousands Of bondsmen, the great deed

1t is announced that Mr.. Parnell will &C
cept the governments offer to introduce a
bill for the appointment Of a committee of
Judges to investigate the charges of the Lon
don Times against the members of the Irish
parliamentary party. The attacks of the
''Thunderer" on the Irish leaders have been
very severe, and the publication of letters
purporting to have been written by Parnell,
and which, if authentic, would connect him
with the Phoenix Park murderers and with
the perpetrators of other %outrages, has
especially excited intense interest. Mr..
Parnell has pronounced all of these letters
forgeries, and unprejudiced men will not
doubt his statement. 1t is Incredible that
Parnell, who is the most cautious and polite
of men, voluntarily placed himself in the
power of the Phoenix park murderers, and
actually committed himself in writing to an
approval of ASSASSINATION. But of course his
denial will not satisfy those who are ready
to believe anything against the chief of the
Irish leaders. An investigation is necessary
to his full vindication, and he does wisely in
accepting the proposition of the government
for u ommitte of judges. He ought to re-
ceive at the hands of such a committee a fair
and impartial investigation, but in any event
it is better to accept a plan suggested by the
government than to have insisted on one OF
| his own. His vindication would thereby be
rendered the more complete and unquestion-
able.

The theory that 1t Is the present policy of
Germany TO shut out France from any pos
slble alliance with another European power
is by no means Incredible. There would be
a two fold object in such Il consummation-
| first to guard against the possibility of attack
from France, and, second, to place Germany
in a position to relieve itself of the huge mill
tary incubus which is now draining its re-
sources and adding to its Indebtedness. The
men now actually serving in the German army
number LOSS, 0C0. Adding TO these the
reserve and landwehr, the number reaches
2,950,0 900 men. The number of those able TO
bear arms and liable TO draft, not comprised
in the foregoing, is 3,225,0W. Under the re-
cent amendment 10 the constitution which
provides that each person hit for military
duty shah serve seven years in the standing
army, generally from the completion Of his
twentieth to the beginning of his twenty
eighth year, Germany will be enabled TO put
between six aud seven millions of fighting
men under arms at an mcalculable cost to
her industrial development and financial
prosperity. Meanwhile the relations be

very painful breaking out of the skin. We
called in IA physician who treated him for about
four weeks. The child received little or no good
from the treatment, as the breaking out, sup
posed by the physician to be hives in an aggra-
waited 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 m to cure him, all alike failing,

Germany is unquestionably averse to

Reichstag, 'if THE French wait for the Ger

France will not make the attack as soon as it
feels strong enough. Evidently If Germany
can detach France from any possible alliance
and compel it to disband or rcuuce its army,
the former country will remove al possibility
of attack and at the same time materially
lessen its w burdens and improve its con-
ditioh. The meeting of the cmperors APP.
pears to have this purpose in view, and the
proposals which the emperor of Germany
can make to Russia and Austria will be
strong inducements for them to enter into
