A GOOD PLAN.


Money Recovered from Owners of Gam
bling Property to Found Public Ii
brary.
1t is estimated that since Mayor
Cregier took Office over S1,000,000 has
been lost in Chicago gambling houses.
As the owners of the property are
liable for all this money, at the suit of
any citizen, several bright citizens
have conceived the idea of suing for
it. The owners of gambling house
property are all rich, and their prop
erty can be confscated to pay judg-
ments.
A grand public library will be built
with the proceeds.

pose them in their offer to sell or lease the

INFLOW OF ENGLISH CAPITAL.


There are indications that an unusu-
ally large amount of English capital is
seeking Investment in this country.
There appears to be no doubt that some
of it has found its way into the brewing
interest, which may be accepted as an
evidence of the proftableness OF beer
manufacture, but this foreign capital is
not being confined to any, one channel.
1t is seeking anything and everything
which promises to yield a fair rate of
interest, and doubtless even specula
tive enterprises do not fail to re-
ceive consideration. The representative
of a syndicate of English capitalists s
quoted as saying that there never was
a time when there was so much Eng
lish capital waiting for investment, the
owners of which are willing to invest
in any American enterprise which will
insure a fair rate of interest. His mis-
sion to this country is to look up such
investments, and there are. doubtless
many others engag cd in like service.
This is another evidence OF the
great prosperity England is having
trade has not been as active before
in many years as it is at pres
ent, and her manufacturers are realiz-
ing prices that pay much better profit
than the American manufacturers are
getting, unless it be those at the south.
The activity in this branch Of industry,
OF course, is most favorable upon the
coal trade, which is Il source OF large
prosperity. The important industry Of
ship building is also remarkably active,
and, in short, England is enjoying ex-
ceptional industrial prosperity, which is
giving steady and remunerative employ
ment to labor, and adding rapidly to the
nations wealth. The accumulation of
capital beyond what home enterprises
can profitably employ, is seeking All
outlet, aud 1t appears that there is u
disposition to place liberal share OF it
in the United States.
Doubtless opportunities for invest
ment will be found, but the circum.
stances in this country at present are
not altogether favorable to the en-
ployment of a very great amount OF
foreign capital in regular and legit-
innate business enterprises. There is a
large amount OF idle capital in this
country, due 70 a condition Of affairs.

OMAHA has an abundance of capital.
There are millions of idle money in her
bani vaults. But Omaha needs public
spirited capitalists who are willing to
reinvest their means in commercial and
industrial enterprises that will afford
employment to wage-workers and sup
ply the arteries Of trade with a vitaliz-
ing current. Look at Sioux City and
Denver. They do not possess half the
resources Of which Omaha can boast.
Their tributary commercial territory is
net half as extensive. But their men

aNoTAER GRAND STRUCTURE
The Proposed, Fire Proof Hotel on
UDDer Fnrua m Street.

The grand otelproject which has been
slumtering for SOME tihe pas. is once more
revived. The propQtefs of this enterprise
last year, it will be remembered, raised a
bonus of S85, 900 for a 5000 900 fire:proof hotel
on the corner Of hqwentieth and Farnam
streets. This fell Sthfqugh because G. M.
Hitchcock wanted.a bonus Of $4,000 in addi-
tion to the cost ofbthe lots, computed at
$4,000. The property owners interested
were at that time willing TO raise $i25 90,
but would not go beyond that, and finally
dropped the scheme.
Now it is proposed TO raise Sl00,0 900 bonus
for the erection of hotel to cost not less
than three quarters OF million,
with 300 feet front on Farnam street
on one of the blocks between Eighteenth
and Twenty second streets. Eastern capital
lists have agreed to build this hotel within
twenty. four months provided the bonus is
raised and the lot can be had ut price not
exceeding the bonus. In case the grounds
for the hotel cost more than 100000 the
bonus Is TO be raised correspondingly. A
representative of this Boston syndicate, now
in the city has held "a conference with some

THE pressing necessity of gathering

ence in the direction of settling the in

worthy advices show that Hippolyte has
the upper hand, with every probability
favorable to his bringing the conflict to
