A FALSE ALARM.

The concerted ding-dong which has
been sounded in double-leaded columns
by the Jefferson square gang through
the Omaha combine is false alarm.
The pretended discovery of a ''nigger
in the wood-pile" of the amended
charter is distortion and deception.
There has been no clause inserted in
the new charter to curtall the legiti-
mate functions OF the board of public
works. But there is provision that
will prevent jim Creighton, through
his catspaws, John B. Furay and
st. A. ID. Balcombe, from OBJ
structing and delaying the erec-
tion of the city hall building.
These men have done everything they
could up to this time to thwart the ex-
pressed will of the people.
The fact that they had provisions in
serted in the charter before it left
Omaha that would have given them alb
solute and unchecked control of nearly
all appointments and contracts shows
their anxiety to grasp and monopolize
the city government and establish a
close corporation in Omaha in which
they would play the dictator.
The provisions in the charter, inserted
by the house, which place the
CITY hall building and the Jail
under the control and supervision of the
mayor, council and architect, are emil
nently proper. Prudence and common
sense dictates that the city hall build
ing should not be placed under the con-
troll of men who are inimical to the con-
struction of the building where 1t has
been located.
And nobody will contend that either
Balcombe or Furay are in any way quail
iflcd TO control public building.
Neither OF them has had any eXper-
ience in construction and all they would
likely do if they had control of the city
hall building is TO interpose all sorts of
Instructions to the erection of
creditable and substantial building
which the citizens OF Omaha have de-
creed shall be expedited as rapidly as

The Proposed Amendment

OMAHA, March 5,-To the Editor of The
Bee; notice in this mornings Herald an
editorial on IA Job in the Charter Bill"
The information on which the article in
question is based was furnished by the par
ties who have been putting up 'joos" in con.
necton with the city hall for two years past,
and who were sat down on so severely at the
recent election.
II would seem, from the howl this amend.
ment has created, that, without intending it,
| have stepped on the corns OF another Job
L am one of u number of citizens of Omaha
who desire to see the city hall built, now
that the location has been finally determined
upon. The council is taking steps
to select an architect TO make plans
and to interpret and supervise the construc-
ton of The building. The plans require a
man possessing special knowledge and fit
ness The proposed amendment puts IL in
the power of the council TO select such man.
do not think any member Of the board OF
works will claim that he possesses the spe-
cial knowledge or has had any training which
would fit him for the supervision of first
class firc-proof structure such as is contcm-
plated. think, too, that the architect that
is held responsible for the success of the
building he plans should have some voice in
its supervision.
1 desire to say in regard to Messrs
Broatch and Wheeler that they are in no
sense responsible for the amendment, al
though theyswith every other member of the
council to whom it was shown and every
member of the Douglas delegation, agreed
that the amendment was wise and desirable.
In conclusion let me say that l am not
building contractor as stated, but l have a
good many friends among the contractors
and mechanics of the city who desire to see
this building go ahead FRED w. GRAY.

Geronimo and His Band.

SANTA FE, N. M, March Especial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. The strong protest re.
Gently adopted here by the legislative as.
sembly denouncing the Indian authorities
and the Indian Rights association of the east.
for their attempts to send the Apache chief
Geronimo and his murderous gang back to
Arizona, has served to elicit from DR.. Lyman
Abbott, editor of the Christian Union, New
York statement denying the intention to
send back these indians to the southeast.
In a letter published here to day Mr.. Abbott
says: "What the philanthropists of the east

nent quarters in the east. General Arm

THE report that the Union Pacific has

THE report that the Union Pacific has
perfected arrangements to build from
Salt Lake to southern California indi =
Gates that the company is not in such an
alarming condition of poverty as the
officers would have the public believe.
The proposed road has been under con
sidcration for years. 1t has been sur
voyed several times and found to be one
of the easiest and cheapest routes
through the mountains. 1t penetrates
the richest agricultural section in
Utah, fringed with mountains rich in
gold, silver, copper, iron and coal. The
mineral wealth of the region is i'm
mense. 1t has never been thoroughly
prospected, and but little effort has been
made, owing to Mormon supremacy, to
develop it. The construction of the
road will bring it into immediate prom
inence and settlers will follow rapidly.
The southern terminus of the road will
be San Diego. Los Angeles will be a
way station.

THEY WANT THE EARTH.

II the provisions embodied in the
charter with regard to the paving be-
tween street car tracks had been offered
to the cable and morse car companies as
a condition precedent TO the passage OF
the consolidation bill, they would have
been only too glad to jump at the
chance and not a word would have been
said about the hardship imposed by the
paving clause. But now that the bill IL
u law, they insist not only upon getting
valuable franchises without cost, but
want to have greater privileges than
street car lines in otherlarge cities that
pay part of their earnings into the mu-
nicipal treasures for their right OF way

THE mercenaries who mutila.ed the
Omaha charter bill two years ago are
again at their nefarious work in Linz
coin. Every time the people attempt to
enlarge and improve the law to meet
the growing demands of the city, they
are harrassed and balied by contractors
and strikers, whose sole aim and object
sto rob the taxpayers. There is great
danger that the present charter bill,
which has passed the house, will be mu-
tilated beyond recognition in the sem
ate, If any amendments are permitted, e,
especially in the interest of contractors
and corporations, the, fate of the meas
ure cannot be IforGshadowed. Tho
Douglas county senators should unto
and force the bill to passage without
material change. + The danger lies in
returning it to tho house for agreement.

WITH the prospects OF nearly mil
lion dollars coming into the hands of
the state treasurer Within a short time
from payments ah'endy due for the sale
of school lands, anu with the uninvested
balance in his hands, the legislature
cannot fail to heed the necessity of pass
ing the law to invest the permanent
school fund IN the registered bonds Of
the school districts. The treasurer of
Nebraska enjoys a sinecure. His in
come from loaning money to various
banks in the state is not short of twenty
five thousand dollars. What it will be
il he is to have at his disposal an upin
vested balance of million or moro can
only be imagined. He will be better
paid public servant than the president
OF the United States, or Of any railroad
company, and the state Of Nebrask u
will be loser by so much. Such Il con-
dition is not alone an anomaly, it is
menace to the best interests of the state.
The underhand power of the banks in
politics will be redoubled. The state
treasurer will become the great bone of
contention, and that officer will be u
mere tool in the hands Of the syndicate
which will elect him. There can be no
excuse for the legislature to shirk its
duty in warding off the evil. The mo-
nopoly over the peoples money enjoyed
by the treasurer and his "pet" banks of
the state must be broken.

THE meeting at St.9Louis Of the re-
cent convention composed of leading
business men of the country, for the
purpose of agitating a national bank
ruptcy law, was not very encouraging.
The feeling predominated that such u
law was not desired, owing to the diff :
cultics of framing a measure satisfac-
toIy to debtor and creditor alike. The
trouble appears to be that the creditor
class is altogether too suspicious that
in the event of the passage of a national
bankruptcy act the law will go too far
in protecting the debtor. This was the
prime objection to the Lowell bill
brought up for discussion at the con-
ventlon, which provided among its
terms that the burden of proof in case
of fraud be thrown on the creditor.
Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that
national bankruptcy law is necessity.
The very fact that leading merchants
have taken up the subject goes to prove
that they are not altogether satisfied
with the present condition OF conflicting
bankruptcy laws.

THE Burlington road comes to
Omaha's rescue with grain tariff to
Duluth equal to that charged for Chi
cago shipments. The determination of
the Chicago board of trade clique to
grade down Nebraska corn and discrim-
fnate against the products OF the trans
Missouri region, should be promptly
and vigorously resisted. With st.
Louis on the south and Duluth on the
north the producers of the west are
fairly independent OF the greedy

PRESIDENT HARRIsON>s reference to
the great corporations states the
situation in nutshell. He says:
"lf our great corporations would
mo scrupulously observe their legal
limitations and duties they would
have less cause to complain of
unlawful limitation of their. rights
or violent interference with their oper-
ations.' Truer words were never ut
tered by public official. The corpora
tions of the country are alone to blame
for the widespread determination of the
people to curb their power and restrain
their avarice. Instead of acting as COM
mon carriers and dealing justly With
producer and con sumer, they sought to
become the guardians of the public, to
make and unmake their laws, to build
up or ruin communities as the whims of
the managers dictated, and coerce the
ballots OF freemen. 1t was natural that
the people rebelled against such mon
archial power. -Self-preservation de-
manded it. The railroads must deal
fairly with the people, then the people
will cheerfully reciprocate. Until that
happy mean is reached, agitation and
regulation will so on with ceaseless
yigOr. 4.
