LIQUOR AND LABOR.

Some very startling figures appear
III newspaper columns In the review
of the business done in Omaha the past
year. In the wholesale jobbing lines,
groc, ries lead the list as doing The
largest amount of business. For the
second place there is close lie between
liquor and lumbtr-.he latter having a
slight lead. There flowed into Omaha
liquor-dealers' Golfers in 1890 the
prin, ely sum of $50 million and three
hundred thousand dc liars! And this.
too, in year when temperance was
talk ed from one end of the State to the
other. What a coincidence-liqu"r
and lumber striving with each other
for supremacy. TIE one by which
homes are builiei-the other 10y which
destroyed. The one sheltering from
the storn-the other turning men out,
Keeling and ragged, To perish in the
wintry bl,st.
Another remark able disclosure is the
amount of capital invested in the liquor
Only 100000 was required to do a
business of 50 800, 900, while in the
lumber trade it required seven times
that amount to do about the same
amount of business. With over twice
as much capital as was invested i'll
vested in liqu"r, the dry-gnods .nen
did only 81 .250 600 worth of business.
Lilo Ior-houses did business eleven
times greater tnan the capital inv, sted +.
boots md shoes, only twice the amount
agricultural implements, only three
times the amount; lumber, only one
and two-thirds more; dry goods, only
three time more; furniture. only twice
as much; groceries. only three times as
mucn; clothing. only twice as much.
No wonder Omaha people objected
to abolishing SD profitable business.
Small capital and big returns-no
brains requI ed-ouly those without
character and conscience need apply.
Then again. it must TO very crafty
Jag to the work men of Omaha TO exam
inc the statistics reg aiding the distill-
cry AMI breweries for the year just
closed. In the late campaign, Rose
water raved about the employment of
labor that the liquor tr" file gave. I'm
fortunately for him, the Bees business
statistics on January LIST and the edi-
tors previous statements don't jihe,
as it were. Outside of the breweries
and distillery there is S. 705, 900 invest
ed in the various industries of Omaha,
and, by very careful average, it is
shown that seventy-two per cent. of
this amount was paid in wages during
1890, while of the Sl,2l0,00O invested
in the breweries and dIstilltry, only
seventeen per cent. was paid in wages
"a clear gain to labor OF S665 500 had
capital been invested in some decent
business. Should cid Rosy see these
figures he would immediately begin
his master art Of Juggling and say that
the Labor is indirectly employed and a
great de Il of machinery, comparative
ly, is used in making beer. 1t is noto-
rious that but very little machinery,s
comparatively, is used in breweries.
About all that is required in making
beer is for few pot-bellied members
of the personal liberty league to stand
around big tub, long poles in hand,
with which to occs sionaliy stir the foul
mess within-;he laws o. putrefaction
and rottenness will do the rest. Liquor

ART EXHIBITION.
The Exhibition Tonight by the School
of Design,

The fifth annual exhibition of the
Sacramento School of Design is an
nounced to open this evening at O'Clock,
at the E. B. Crocker Art Gallery. 1t will
also be open Tuesday and Wednesday
from 10 A. NJ. to P. NJ, but not in the
evenings of those days.
1t will be the largest and best exhibi-
ton the school has made On this occa-
sion the porcelain painting department
viii make its first exhibition, and the
promise is that it will be especially inter
esting. All the pieces shown were fired
at the school. Heretofore all porcelain
firing in the State has been done in San
Francisco, but the school has fine kiln
and the class is especially proud of it's
product.
In visiting the exhibition, which is free
and TO which all the people are invited, a
group of easels viii be found in the CEN
ter of the floor surrounding cast, and
each bearing q crayon or drawing of the
cast. Each easel occupies the position of
study during the study in contest by
selected pupils for gold medal. The
committee to make the award will meet
at 3:}0 to-day and viii not know by what
pupil any particular drawing was made.
ON the walls are some 800 examples of
the work OF the pupils during the school
year, selected from among 500. They are
oil, pastel, water colors, crayon, charcoal
and pencil sketches. Many Of them are
studies made last summer at the Summit.
Three handsome medals are TO be
awarded, and have been OH view some
days in II. G. Hotfilter's window. The
rules of award are the same as obtain in
the New York and San Francisco art
schools. All regularly in the class in oil
who have attended III each term of the
year are competitors for the first drawing
medal. Those chosen to compete are rep
resented by the easels on the floor. They
began their work March 9Th, and con-
cluded it April 7th. They were allowed
no suggestion or advice from any of the
teachers. For the second drawing medal
| all pupils in drawing are competitors,
and the award is on the general character
| of all drawing for the year by each pupil.

TRAP AND TARGET.
Opening Shoot by the PacificS-Conl

Opening Shoot 10y the Pacif1cs-Com-
pany G's Rife Practice.
The Pacific Sportsmen's Club held its
first SHOOT of the season at their grounds
on the Gerber farm yesterday morning
AT 10 o'clock the fun began, and for a
while the fate of the pigeons seemed
doubly sealed. In fact, it looked as
though they were not in it, but when the
turns at score came to those of the club
that have during the last six months
ding-donged their abilities as shotgun ex-
perts all over this and several other coun-
ties, the chances seemed to be in favor of
the birds.
DR.. Martin" started the bail rolling,
but said that although he missed with the
first barrel, he was unable to hit on the
second shot because the recoil Of the first
caused him to slip on the wet grass.
Again, when Frank Bergman faced the
traps and allowed beautiful taller to
homeward fly, and subsequently allowed
five more the same privilege without a
break, pigeon stock rose above par.
Captain Ruhstaller accounts for his
score on the ground that the clouds were
too low
Adam Damn said he had the rheuma-
tism in his arm, and Mr.. Chapman laid
his poor score to new gun.
Kunz acknowledged his lack of ability
to kill pigeons, but in eXtenuation said
his boots hurt him SO that he was unable
to stand firmly.
Billy Hamilton said he knew he was
going to fail to astonish the natives, be-
cause he had not told d bear story for
thirteen DAYS
The others accounted for their goose
eggs i'll various ways, one member alleg-
ing that he never could shoot during a

The Afternoon Came.

San Francisco was shut out yesterday
afternoon by the Sacramento team, which
before the game, figured as tail-enders in
the League race. But it was a great game
-one of those scientifically played con-
tests, where sacrifice hitting was fre
quent. The diamond, too, was so soft
that there was absolutely no chance OF
double play being made on bunted ball.
Manager McCloSkey was eXaSperated
on account Of the successive defeats OF his
team but Ire determined to try hard and
change the luck, if possible. The men
from Sacramento played hard, earnest
game of ball. and achieved the honor OF
being the first club to shut out the metro
politan team this season.
The score was 3 to 0, and to make it so
the exhibition was necessarily a contest
in which hits were few, and likewise
errors. A great crowd of people saw 1t,
and the cheering at the conclusion of the
match almost raised the roof of the grand
stand.
The fSacramentos won the game on
their merits They fielded eXcellently,
and though they did not bat unusually
hard, every man sacrificed" when there
was an opportunity to advance "A man a
base, and the neat work Of the team in
this respect brought forth repeated ap-
plause.
Two of the runs were made in the sec

hit and Hutchinson took his base on
balls. McCloskey Sacrificed and each
man was advanced base. Then kid"
Peoples came to the bat, and he caught
one of pitcher Lyons curves in the right
spot and sent the ball spinning over first
base. Two men scored on the hit.
Second -baseman Sharp was responsible
for the run made by the Sacramentos in
the fourth inning. France went to first
on a forced hit, to third on Sharp's fun
ble and home on his 'juggle" OF a
grounder hit to him by Ward.
Scorer Stapleton gave the Sacramentos
only three hits, but they certainly ought
. to have been credited with six.
McCloskey and Works each made mag
nificent running catches Of fly balls that
would surely have been home run hits
but for the excellent fielding. Sunday
did good work in right field. Peoples
PLAYED ''out of sight at short, and the
cranks on the bleachers fairly hoWled
when he picked up grounder after il
had passed Hutchinson, and threw the
runner out at first base. Ward made
some neat stops at second, and McGuirk
and Hutchinson played well.
France and Spies were a formidable
battery. The former pitched a grand
game, not allowing one man TO go to base
on balls, and Spies caught in a graceful
and accurate manner.
Lyons started in to pitch the game for
the San tranciscos, but he gave way 10
Cobb in the third inning. The entire
team of Manager Harris played good ball,
with the exception of Sharp at second
base.
Sheridan umpired the game. Following

were two frightful wounds that appeared
to have been made by some iron weapon,
and she was pitiful looking object.
