THE Beatrice Democrat makes the fol-
lowing ill-advised observation: 1.-THE
OMAHA BEE, having refused the farm
ers' alliance the use of its columns, Mr.,
Burrows prints column in the Lincoln
Call. The communication of Mr.. Bur-
rows is we'll tempered for hlm. and his
statements are clear, and, as he says,
must be accepted, until refuted by some
thing better than a general denial. 1t
is we'll known that the Democrat has
never been an admirer OF Mr.. Burrows,
but he is we'll informed, and his state
ments seem very reasonable and plaus-
ible." THE BEE has never refused the
farmers alliance the use of its columns,
and when Mr.. Burrows purposely gives
circulation to such statements he does
this paper great injustice.

THE LESS SAID THE BETTER.

Mr.. Hitchcock insists that Mr.. Rose
water stands alone in opposition to the
Linton postof1ice report and charges
that this position is taken to occasion
delay in the building. Upon this as
sumption he bases an appeal to the bus
mess community of Omaha to taboo or
boycott THE BEE in q business sense
and to withdraw their support from a
paper which advocates, as he says, de-
lay in the construction of the postoffice.
Mr.. Hitchcock knows that should the
secretary of the treasury decide upon
Eighteenth and Farnam streets the
entire block would be decided
to the government instanter. He
further knows that if the Linton
report should be adopted finally, con-
domination proceedings would then
delay In getting at the construction of
the building than can possibly be
brought about by a fair and reasonable
consideration of the claims Of the
Eighteenth and Farnam site. In making
this very tame subterfuge prominent
I1itthSOSh oOuptlcoo iOl Bcto that hC
bent his energies during the city hall
controversy and lent aid and comfort To
the council combine and jefferson
square conspirators to delay and de-
feat entirely il possible the
building Of the city hall on Far
nam street. But he cannot pos
sibly have forgotten the stunning
rebuke which the voters OF this city ad-
ministered to him and to the gang with
which he trained, ana the emphatic re-
pudiation which the business COM
munity OF this city expressed towards
that gang Of obstructionists. He knows
that seventy-five per cent of the bust
ness men OF Omaha, representing forty
or fifty million dollars, put their shoul-
ders to the wheel and worked actively

Cleveland in the vacant place. When Mr..
Blaine came to the desk two weeks ago he
looked at this picture of Mr.. Cleveland with
displeasure. Calling one of his assistants he
whispered to him earnestly for few mo-
ments. The following day the face Of Cleve-
land had disappeared and Webster's strong
countenance again held the place of honor.

BETWEEN forty and fifty millions OF
dollars are represented by the three
hundred odd business men of Omaha
who are strenuously opposing the
adoption of Agent Linton's report on
the postoffice site. Does Mr.. Hitchcock
contend for a moment that these men
do not possess business sagacity enough
to prevent their taking any action
which would cripple the city? Does he
think they are the kind of men who
would sanction any movement to delay
the construction of the postoffice?
These men who are demanding their
rights are the leading spirits in the
business of this city, and they have a
right to be heard in the postoffice loca-
tion. Some of these men represent
manufactures in this city employing in
the aggregate over two thousand men,
and they certainly cannot, with any
reason, be charged with not having the
material interests of this city at heart.
Does Mr.. Hitchcock want to be under
stood as impugning the motives of
these men when they take decided
stand against the Linton report
Omaha daily bee., 1889-03-29

OMAHA has a kindred cling for the
packing interests of Iowa in opposing
the efforts of Chicago to overthrow
existing freight rates on live stock and
packing house products between Mis-
souri, river points and that city. A
strong case has been made out by the
Iowa packers before the Interstate
Commerce commission in defense OF the
present traffic arrangements. That the
movement on the part OF Chicago to
interfere with this condition is entirely
selfish is evident from the fact that the
Iowa railroads have assumed a neutral
position in the appeal to the Interstate
commission and that no other packing
center has joined with Chicago in her
protest. 1t would be highly judiciOus
and would carry great weight if the
various packing establishments on the
Missouri river would supplement the
testimony of Iowa packers. Such COM
bined action would strengthen the posi-
tion OF western pork packers before the
commission. 1t would indicate that the
packing interests west Of Chicago from
ST. Paul to ST. Louis are satisfied with
present rates, and that readjustment
in favor Of Chicago would not only seri-
ously imperil their business but would
do them gross injustice. For that rea-
son Omaha as well as the packing in
dustries Of other cities should formally
enter their protest with the Interstate
commission against the extravagant de-
mands OF Chicago.

no men and does not bring dollar into
the city. Mr.. Rosewater has invested
every dollar he has in brick and mortar
in Omaha. He has invested half a
million dollars on upper Farnam street
and has invested good many thous-
ands more on lower Farnam street. He
gives steady employment to one hun
dred and fifty men or more, and he
brings into the city quarter OF a
million dollars o year. Mr.. l. obeck de-
pends solely forhis livelihood on the en-
terprise and'investments OF such men as
Mr.. Rosewater. They make it possible
for real estate men to sell property and
they are the men who bring about the
gradual advance in the prices OF realty.
Mr.. Lobeck has been misquoted or can
be set down as crank.

MEssRs. BILL NYE and j. Whitcomb
Riley will be in Omaha on the first of
April. There is no mistake about this,
unless they are wrecked on the way.
They come west in search of pleasure
and recreation, and few dimes to re-
pair the wear and tear of travel. Dur
ing their present pilgrimage these in
imitable pond lilies of American humor
have distributed more real enjoyment
and hearty, wholesouled mirth than
any combination of twins ahoat. The
west cherishes warm spot for Sweet
William. He piloted civilization over
the plains and drove the bloody Sioux
from the haunts of the white man,
cheerfully Offering up his scalp as a
sacrifice to his country. This explains
his weakness for the stage in preference
to the front, row. His sanguinary ca
reer brought honors thick and fast. He
became postmaster of Laramie and pres
ident of ''The Forty Liars" positions
he filled with great profit to himself
and his relations. Mr.. Riley's advent
in Omaha is particularly timely. His
character sketches will lose none OF
their pathos because the Hoosiers are
on top.

THE resolutions adopted by the house
providing that all purchases and con-
tracts for supplies for the departments,
and all the public institutions OF the
state" be made in accordance with
law, should receive the approval OF the
senate. The law makes it the duty OF
the proper officers to make contracts
with and purchase supplies from the
lowest bidders, but it has been evaded,
and the business farmed out to favor
ties. Supplies are bought hap
hazard, just as it may be con-
venient, and exorbitant prices paid.
The house rightly insisted that
supplies should be bought at wholesale
and from the lowest responsible bidder.
A further check was placed on extrava-
gance by providing that the 'superin-
tendents of the various state institutions
shall file in the Office Of the secretary OF
state on the last day of each month an
itemized statement in detail of all sup
plies purchased for the maintenance of
their respective institutions, duly veri-
fed bv the oath of the superintendent" :"
The application of common business
methods to state affairs will effect a
great saving to the taxpayers, and
should be promptly concurred in by the
senate.

THE recently confirmed governor OF
Wyoming, Francis e. Warren, is by no
means new hand at the bellows. He
was appointed governor OF that terri
tory by President Arthur, but fell
under the displeasure OF Land Commits
sioner Sparks when the democrats came
into power. Governor Warren goes
back 10 his old place endorsed by the
leading men OF the territory and his
selection is generally satisfactory. AT
any rate he succeeds Governor Moon
light, who made himself ridiculous and
unpopular by his exaggerated and un-
trustworthy reports of the population
and resources of Wyoming.

THE letter OF d. II. Dorsett, explain
ing his system Of eonduits to the ground
floor OF the city council bears striking
resemblance to the Cushing literary
manual. 1t is saturated with lofty
contempt for sordid souls, and laments
the avarice which interferes with his
efforts in behalf Of the public. 1t was
designed and digested for publication,
and bears the stamp of outraged hon
esty which is 50 becoming to men driven
TO corner. 1t is certain that Mr.. Dor
sett did not come to Omaha for his
health. His anxiety to improve the
condition Of his purse and grease the
system OF certain councilmen SO warped
bis judgment that he neglected to burn
that letter.
