VIEWS OF TWO VETERA MS.

The pension Office and its affairs still
make Il demand upon public attention.
Nor will that demand end when the
to Commissioner Tanner. The new
commissioner will be expected to re-
form the practices OF the pension office
in important respects, and his course
will be carefully watched. Further
more, congress will be expected to give
thorough consideration to this service,
with view to providing legisla-
renee of the Objectionable practices
that brought about the existing situa-
tion OF affairs.
While the discussion OF pensions is
fresh in interest, 1t is we'll to note the
opinions of two veterans whose views
are worthy OF the highest considera-
tion, both from old soldiers and others.
These are General Martin 2. Mcmahon
and General M. Nj. Trumbull. Both
entered the army when the war of the
rebellion opened and both attained dis
tinction as able and gallant soldiers.
In recent published communication
General Mcmahon expressed the opin-
ION that the sentiment in favor of uni
versal pensions is largely manufac-
tured, and that it gains Fictitious
strength from the silence of men who
disapprove, but do not say so because
they do not wish to be abused. He said
the prevailing sentiment OF the Grand
Army, II it could be properly ascer-
tanned, would be found to be simply that
the government should comply with
the implied contract made with
the mon who entered the service in
1861 by giving liberal pensions to those
who were actually disabled, and to the
widows of the dead soldiers who are in
need. Neither the government nor the
people, said General Mcmahon, ''ever
undertook to do more than this. and the
talk about pensioning every man, with
out reference to his physical disability
or his condition in life, Is carried
to an absurd excess by many peo-
pie who claim to represent the Grand
Army" He held that there should be
Legislation suspending pensions to those
who receive a sufficient income to en-
able them to live indepen iently, such
persons TO remain on the roll of honor
as pensioners and their pensions to be
resumed in the event that they should
become reduced in circumstances. Gea-
eral Mcmahon said the pension legisla-
tion asked for now, il enacted, will very
greatly exceed any estimate thus far

NO DoBLTN GRANITE.

THE BEE has no desire to meddle
with the erection OF the city hall, and
is as anxious as anybody can be to have
that building pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible. There has been
delay enough already and the citizens
OF Omaha are not in a mood to counte-
nance any controversy that will delay
the building even for single day.
But we do not want to see the city
hall building source of scandal and
iobbery. There has been enough of
that already. The attempt of Paul Van
dervoort to lobby through the Doblin
stone is liable to create a greater scan-
dal than the county hospital job.
Nobody contends that Doblin stone is
not in every way equal in quality to
other GRANTEES. The color of Doblin
stone is, however, not suited for the pro-
posed city hall building. Its adoption
would compel the use above it of a
light-colored stone which would detract
from the beauty of a building finished in
rock-face. Whatever may be the opin-
ion of members of the building COM
mittee or the council, the best archl-
tects and builders all agree that a dark
granite should by all means be used
for the base OF the city hall.

Sidewalk Opstruc,;ons.

OMAHA, Sept. 25.-To the Editor of THE
BEE: On Sixteenth street, at the southwest
corner of California, the broad sidewalk has
been narrowed to the dimensions of dam
gerous mountain path. On one side is deep ex-
cavation, and cn the other side is q mountain
of brick and stone which is being used to
build a foundation in the excavation. Across
this narrow path are laid planks, stray
bricks, etc, besides water pipe. The water
pipe appears to be a fixture placed there for
the convenience of the mortar maker. 1t is
raised from the sidewalk some two or three
inch es. in the day time 1t is easy to see this
pipe, but at night, and such Il dark night as
last night, it is undiscernibe Last evening
my wife almost broke her ankle Her shoe
caught under the pipe and she was thrown,
but fortunately, for all concerned, she was
not seriously hurt.
This morning the sidewalk is fenced In al
together in the same manner that cross
country road is sometimes barricaded. and
the pedestrian is practically told to "Go to
the next corner or take the crowded road.
way.
In poor, old, stupid countries, like England
for instance, this kind of thing is not allowed.
The contractor or builder is made to fence
all his material in, and.o ouild good sidewalk
around it, so that people may pass along the
street without danger OF being hurt But in
this country, and particularly in Omaha, IL
is everybody for himself and may the devil
take the hindcrmoSt. The board of public
works should compel contractors to make
proper provision for sidewalk facilities in
cases like the one here cited. Yours truly,

THE senatorial contest in North
Dakota is regarded as settled so far as
one of the candidates, Ex-Governor
Pierce. is concerned. He is apparently
the unanimous choice of the republic
cans of the new state, every Legislative
convention having instructed for him.
Pierce was formerly from Indiana and
is close friend of President Harrison.
He was appointed to the governorship
of Dakota in 1888 by President
Arthur, and became exceedingly
popular, showing admirable skill
in harmonizing the disordant
politica, elements in the territory. He
is lawyer and has had experience i n
journalism. If elected, of which there
appears to be no doubt, he will most
creditably represent North Dakota in
the senate. The contest for the other
senatorial seat is between Ex-Governor
Ordway. of Dakota, and General Allen,
formerly of Pennsylvania, with the
chances believed to be most favorable
to the success of the latter.

ment of $780, to negotiate loans for the com
pany, for which they were to get 2 per cent.
Plaintiff says that he procured loans to the
amount of $10,7O0, which the company re-
fused to accept, and ATTEMPTED to assess fines
and penalties upon him, and otherwise
fraudulently and falsely attempted TO injure
him, and he therefore asks Judgment for the

WE ARE heartily in accord with the

for the immediate establishment of
starch factories in Omaha, Its fond ex-
pectations to see all the corn raised in
Nebraska converted into starch have a

would not consume one-tenth of this

enough to convert all this corn into
