Omaha daily bee., 1889-05-20
4 RRAzEN ISLANDER.

The following extract from a letter
from prominent citizen of Michigan
explains itself:
Bro RAPIDS, Mich. May ts.-To the Editor
of The BEE; A we'll known temperance agi-
tator, Mary A. Lathrop, of jackson, Mich,
in n speech to a large audience in this city,
last night made the statement that there
were four thousand prostitutes in the city Of
Omaha, making their headquarters in the sa-
looms OF your city, and that they paid Ii
cense into the city treasury to the amount of
S42, 900 annually, and were licensed and pro-
tected in consideration thereof, and that the
schools of Omaha were built up and sup
ported, TO great extent, by the tax paid bv
prostitutes Omaha is nice town to move
away FROM with that state of facts existing.
II the statements are not true, they do your
city no good, and your people should know
that they are in circulation in order to refute
them.
This is fair sample OF the falsehoods
coined by the champions OF prohibition.
1t is especially reprehensible when we
consider the source. A woman who will
publicly insult and slander her sex is
unworthy of the name.
There is not city in this country of
equal population where the social evil
is held so completely within bounds as
in Omaha. 1t does not make it's head
quarters in the saloons, and instead OF
four thousand prostitutes, as asserted
by Mrs. Lathrop, there are only two
hundred and thirty-eight. They are
not licensed nor protected by the city,
but are frequently arrested by the po-
lice and fined in the police court.
The manifest purpose of this brazen
slander is to discredit high license and
bolster up the waning cause of prohibi-
tion. A cause requiring falsehood and
calumny for props is very weak, The
freedom and frequency with which
these untruths are uttered shows la
mentable lack of morality and integrity.
The logic of facts aud experience are
against prohibition. Its advocates can
not overcome the stubborn truth that
high license and regulation as enforced
in Omaha and Nebraska are conducive
to law and order. Compared with pro-
hibltion in Iowa or Kansas, it is an evil
restrained against an evil rampant.

administration in the south. Although
merely local ebullitions, they are recog-
nized even by southern democrats as
having a significance, and some OF the
more conservative OF these have de-
plored the occurrences as tending to
defeat the hope of the wiser and better
element among southern democrats for
policy of non-interfereuce on the part
OF the national administration with po-
litical affairs in that section. OF course
there is not much that the admin
istration could do, in any event,
beyond vindicating the right of
the colored man to political considera-
tiou by appointing him to federal Office
in the south, but congress may do a
great deal, and the less reckless of the
southern democrats do not desire to
provoke legislation which if IL should
not fully protect the colored citizens Of
the south in the exercise of their po-
litical rights, would deprive those who
deny them their rights of any advan-
tage from such denial
The misfortune is that tho num-
ber of such democrats is not much larger
and that they are not more influential.
There is nluestionably wide field
for the missionary work of conservative
men, and while it may be believed that
the field is gradually narrowing, q
great deal of labor will yet be neces-
sary before the obstinate prejudices Of
the majority shall be overcome. When
one reads that man can not be re-
publican in the city Of New Orleans
without inviting social ostracism, his
faith is necessarily shaken in the pro-
fessions that are made IN behalf Of the
new SOUTH" and he is compelled to
regard with distrust the patriotic assu
RANGES conveyed by southern orators
when they come north. However,
there are conditions at work in the
south which promise in time to effect q
radical change in the sentiment of at
least large part of that section. Much
of the prevailing prejudice, political
and social, must inevitably give way
before the march of industrial progress
and material prosperity. And perhaps
the true policy is to leave the solution
of the southern question" to the OPP
Grafton of the new conditions that are
at work there.

IDAHO SPRINGS.
n Town of Modern improvements
Hid Away In n Canon.

Ittu AWAY tU " SuuONs
IDAHO SPRINGS, Col, May i9.-[Specal TO
THE BEE. III a man would feel dimnutve
let him get aboard of train at Denver en-
route to Graymont, Col. As soon as the
foothills OF the Rocky mountains, IL he had
never before seen them, are reached, he
feels the impression of sublimity, which
presently changes to awe as the canon is
farther pierced, and hfs eyes discern tho
piles of rock that nature has upheaved. He
suddenly perceivos there is something far
larger than ne is, and his self-conceit, for tho
present subsidies. There is probably not to
be found elsewhere on the continent as many
miles, continuously, of majestic and wonder
inspiring scenery. Whoever conceived tho
project of building n railway up Clear creek
canon must have been courageous en-
gineer. Hardly less adventurous were the
intrepid miners who sought out the way to
Idaho Springs and Georgetown before the
railroad was contemplated. Where there
had seemed TO be room only for the snuous
creek between the rocky walls of the
mountains, the pioneer miners made wagon
road. Afterwards the mountains had to
give way to make room for the locomotive to
traverse the gulch
Idaho Springs is now the chief mining
center OF this region The offices and ma.
chine shops are here. The machinery of tho
stamp mills is repaired at this place, and any
other machinery used in the mining and re-
ducton works.
BulCUhg lumber is cut only few miles
south, from the native pine, and lumber
yard is maintained. Dimension stuff, sheet
ing and flooring made of the pine are used
for building purposes in this vicinity. The
species of wood Is unlike any that is to be
found in the Omaha market-harder than
the northern white pine, and not as hard as
southern yellow pine, but full of small hard
knots.
The town has its waterworks, electric
light plant and a fire engine house. The
ditch for conducting the water to the resor-
voir extends away up the mountain side to
the snow line, and the water is as pure, clear
and soft that from Virginia spring.
Water mains are laid in the streets and pipes
to the dwellings just as in Omaha. Fire
hydrants are placed at street corners and
sprinkling hydrants in the dooryards. The
reservoir is at such altitude as to make the
pressure sufficient to meet all required
wants, and hence force-pu is needless.
The tourist would scarcely expect to find
such modern improvements so remote from
any considerable city, away up o mountain
canon, hid away from the vision of all out
siders. The town is built upon plateau
containing about twenty-four acres of level
land, and has four churches, large brick
school house, stamping mill and bath
house. The last is provided with the means
of bathing in the hot soda water just as 1T
comes from the spring little distance above,
and is resort for invalids who come here
seeking health
The mines hereabouts giving employment
to great force of men, furnish the susten-
tation of the town, and il the mines fail so
likewise will the town.

STATE PRESS COMMENT.

The Wymore Union notes the morked in
crease in the state's population. shown by
the annual school census, and predicts that
'durIng the next decade Nebraska will leave
behind in the race many Of her sister states"
Commenting on the fact that the prohibi
tion papers now admit that the day is past
when they can secure prohibition by con-
stitutional amendment, the Sidney Telegraph
remarks that "before long they will be com
PEELED TO admit that their field OF labor is en-
tirely gone. The result in Massachusetts
gave their enthusiasm black oye."
The Howells Journal is amused to see the
number of papers that are coming to the de-
fense of the Jwine trust, and remarks; at
is a habit with some papers TO defend any
kind of u monopoly, and they do not seem
able to make any exception of the twiue
trust. The paper that comes out ana de-
fends the twiue trust and advises the farm
ers not TO Organize for their own protection

THE senate committee appointed to
make nvestigations on irrigation in the
western territories will presently take
up It's work in connection with the geo.
logical survey. Its object will be to ex-
anime and report whether it be feasable
to reclaim for agricultural purposes the
immense arid tract comprising an area
equal to one hundred and fifty thousand
square miles and stretching from the
head waters of the Missouri to the
boundaries of New Mexico. 1t is well
to understand that the government
does not propose to irrigate this land
for the people, but to determine
whether or not private capital can be
proftably employed in this enterprise.
Congress, in other words, steps in as
the scientific expert in behalf of the
people to settle a scientific question.
The actual work of reclaiming these
lands devolves upon the states and ter
ritories within whose boundaries the
arid belt is located. If at all practicable
private capital no doubt will be drawn
into the enterprise and the task will
necessarily consume many years as we'll
as n vast outlay.

NOT so OVERWHEL MING.

In double-leaded BREWER the Sunday
Herald makes proclamation to all the
world:
The verdict of the voters is in, and 1t over
whelms the advocates and supporters of the
extravagant demands of an extravagant
school board. There is recorded decisive
majority not only against the scheme to en-
large the high school building, but also
against the scheme of 1926, 900 for real estate
etc. When it is remembered that to have
carried the bonds required two-thirds vote
of all the ballots cast, and tnat not even half
of the total was cast in the alternative, it will
be seen how thoroughly in earnest the public
became.
This is enough to make horse laugh.
Overwhelming Defeat" Decisive
Majority" What bombastic rot! That
editorial must have been written over
at Maurer's big turtle restaurant. Over
whelming defeat with bare majority of
eighty. A decisive and emphatic
popular verdict with nineteen thousand
voters staying at home and less than
nineteen hundred voting on theissue.
A change of forty votes would have
carried the two hundred and twenty
five thousand dollar bonds, despite the
opposition OF the combine. 1t only re-
quires a majority to authorize the issue
of school bonds.

THE upshot of the investigation Of
the interior department in the alleged
Irregularities connected with the open
ing OF the Oklahoma lands has been
the dismissal of Marshal Jones. The
president and attorney-general decided
not to allow Jones to resign, but to re-
move him at once. This fact strongly
indicates that there has been gross mis-
homa. The disgrace of Marshal Jones
will be wholesome lesson to those men
who may be charged with the opening
of the Sioux reservation.

THE charge OF six dollars for every
car load of stock shipped from Iowa
across the Union Pacific bridge to
South Omaha, distance of not over six
miles, is a gross injustice and imposi-
tion. The very fact that the road
agreed to make a rate Of four dollars a
car for the service is evidence that the
Union Pacific acknowledges the charges
to be exorbitant. The plea is made
that a six dollar rate is necessary to pay
for the switching and making up of
stock trains. But even with the most
liberal allowance for that expense,
these charges are out of all proportion
to the service
