The Legislative committee on public
lands and buildings is much impressed
10y the audacity of the steals perpetrated
upon the state in the erection of public
institutions AS allthese buildings, and
their numerous wings and additions,
have been accepted and paid for tits now
n little late in the day TO make u COM
plant, but it is always interesting for a
man to cOntem plate the method by hich
he has been swindled out of his money.
One senator who has recently returned
from tour over the state remarks that
the soldiers home at Grand Island "is
unfit to live in, and that considerable
strategy is required to keep the walls
from tumbling in. He says that the
Norfolk asylum looks like great big
building, but that it aCcOmmod ate5 few
patients because so much space is lost in
LAYING out offices. The senator evi-
IDENTIFY doesn't appreciate the fact
that many of our public institu-
tions are erected solely with a
view to the comfort of the offices and
oniceholdcrs. or the Hastings asylum
he makes the cheerful remark that
''things are ever so much worse down
there" It's generally conceded that
the work on that institution was the
poorest ever ventured by IA public con-
tractor in Nebraska,
\ mother senator indorses the recon-
mendation of the superintendent of the
Hastings asylum for II supervising archi'
tect. The argument is that such an oil
cal would be responsible for wise plans,
drawn with view to future enlarge
ment, and that he would pre- vent the
robbery of the state by contractors.
If Nebraska proposed to keep right or
erecting new public buildings and add
ing biennial wings to old ones the
supervising architect might bC
leded But as the state has already J
provided for all reasonable demands il
that direction the creation of this new
Office would be simply an added expense
What the state needs is honest men il

that II any one of the officials responsi
ole for the wretched public buildings n

is there that wqmep, when exposed to

What assurance can be given that in the
struggle to elect themselves or their
friends to Office they would not resort to
intrigue and deception rs freely as men
do? And who that has n right apprc-
citation OF the character and the true
function of woman will wish her TO be

The effort to secure for women in Ne
braska municipal suffrage and the right
to hold elective Offices in the cities is
not demanded in the interest of the sex.
They do not require these privileges in
order to obtain equal protection under
the laws with men, for this they already
have. 1t is not necessary to enable
them to improve their condition, for
! every avenue for their advancement, OK
ccpt that to political ollice-holding, is
now open. II is not wanted for any

wisely said, is not the only suffrage or

exercise Of her natural and true function
oNcrts power that is not less useful or
| less pcrvadiug than that of the ballot,
and which would be innowisc augmented
by her possession of the ballot. That
power proceeds from the home, which
in this republic is the foundation of the
state and the nation, the stronghold OF
patriotism. The further women are re-
moved from the communicating influence

THE LONIL HrSINESS OrT.


The mercantilointcrests of Omaha are
steadily recovering their wonted vigor,
The agencies which checked the normal
currents of trade in the trans Missouri
region are vanishing, and the activities
which confidence bcgets are visible in
ali lines of industry and commerce.
A significant evidence of a general
revival is furnished by the report Of
bank clearings for the past week. For
the first time in ninety days the trans
actions of the banks reflect an improved
condition of business throughout the
country. Out of iifty-four cities in the
clearings association only eight report
a decrease, but the amounts are insig-
niicant compared with the marked in
crease in the remaining forty-scven.
The total advance in all cities is "a per
cent, and outside of New York 1879 per
cent. The increase in Omaha amounts
to III per cent
While the clcarings are not always n
reliable barometer of business, they fur
nish substantial proof of the prompti-
tude with which obligations are met
The marked Improvement noted in all
leading cities of the west evidence a
gradual and gratifying change from the
financial stringency which wrought sCri-
Gus havoc in all sections. The improve
ment cannot fail to have a beneficial
effect on all channels of trade.
No better proof of the solid foundation
on which Omaha's trade rests can be had
than the successful wcathering Of the
financial gale which strew other shores
with mercantile wrecks. The prOhibi-
tion agitation and the deficiency in west
ern crops were in themselves Il severe
test. TO these were added the dearth of
capital precipitated by the September
speculative furry, during which banks
| locked their vaults and for time absO-
| lutely refused the usual accommodations
on any terms. Despite these elements OF
| depression and disaster the business
| back bone of Omaha maintained its per
pendicularity, and emerged from the
siege stronger and more aggressive than
ever.
| The improved activity reflected by
the clearings is supplemented with in
creasing liberality in loans, These
| favorable conditions will multi
ply as the season advances anC
building operations and public
works open individual and municipa
purse strings. The spirit of enterprise
and progress is abroad, industries are
expanding, opportunities for profitable
investments are increasing, and tn,
trade territory of Omaha is only limited
by the energy of her jobbers in reach
ing for it and their ability to hold it
The business outlook, on the whole, is
as favorable as could reasonably be
expected and foreshadows n year OF more
than average pros perity.

MUNICIPAL SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN

MUNICIPAL SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN
Those persons who are asking the
legislature TO grant unlimited municipal
suffrage to women, with the right to
hold elective offices in city governments,
represent very small minority of the
intelligent and home-res specting women
of Nebraska. The great majority Ofthcm
do not desire the right to vote and would
not exercise it if it were gi"en them.
Neither do they wish to have the privi-
lcge of holding elective municipal Off
ces. These women have no taste for poll
tics, no disposition to engage in
its intrigue and trickory, and no
time to spare from their me-
cessary and legitimate domestic and So
cial duties in seeking Office for them,
selves or for others. They understand
that practical politics is neither eiify-
ing nor elevating, that it involves more
or less contention and vulgar association
which cause "a great many men even to
eschew politics, and that the talk of re-
lining 1t by Introducing the influence of
women into elections is a fatuitous fancy,
an 'iridescent dream" The character
of politics is today what it has always
been and will continue to be to the end
of human conflict for political power.
Women can vote at school
elections in some twenty states,
including Nebraska, and every
where it has been found that compara-
lively few take advantage of the privi-
lege, while in most Of the states a large
proportion OF those who do are not of the
better class Of women. In Kansas women
have suffrage on tho same terms with
men in all municipal elections, but only
small minority have thus far shown a
disposition to exercise the right. With
the exception of Wyoming woman suf-
| fragc has nowhere been successful in at
tracing any large number of the better
| class of womon, by which we would be
understood as meaning the wives and
mothers who understand and ap-
preciate their true functions and
are content to rule in the sphere
of home, to politics, and il
is altogether improbable, if not imposs-
| BILE, that il ever will. The acrimony
the conflicts, the intrigues, the false
hood and the deceit of politics, doubt ess
some women may find congenial, but tC
the majority of refined, moral and wo.
manly women they must always be re
pugnant, The belief that women can
remove these conditions and impart heil
gentlenoss and purity to politics has NJ
warrant in experience, Women are ten
der and pure while they make the home
their sphere of activity, but withdraw
them from this into the arena of politi
cal strife and if experience may be trust
ed, instead Of imparting gontleness t,
the male combatants they would be il
danger of losing it themselves Nol
is there any force in the assumption tina

THE Fifty-frst congress has just seven
more working days to its credit The
closing scenes of II session which will
rank among the most memorable in the

esting, if not exciting. The republican

election TO remedy its former mistakes.

Republicans at Washington are SAID
to De nearly unanimous in believing that
the national committee should be inn
mcdiately reorgani1od. This feeling
appears to havc become stronger since
the statement made by Senator Quay,
the chairman Of the committee, deny ng
the charges which he had permitted to
stand against him for Il yClr unchaI-
lcngcd, and it woJld seem to Indicate
that the republicans generally do not
regard the explanation Of Mr.. Quay rs
being so complete and satisfactory II
rcfutatOn as TO warrant his rcmnining
at the head Of the committee until re-
placed by the next national convention.
ago that Mr.. Quay was consider
ing the question of retiring from
the committee, but there was probably
no foundation for it. There is nothing
in tho character of the Pennsylvania
senator as politician to warrant an eX-
| pcctation that he will have cOnsdCra-
| tion for the interests of his party above
his own interests, and therefore it is
| highly probable that he will insist on
remaining where he is In thlt case
| the committee cannot be reorgani2ed,
since it has no pOwert to change the order
of International convention except to fill
| a vacancy.
| Still there is possibility that Mr.
| Quay might be induced by u strong party
pressure to step aside, and it is sug-
| gested that u reorganization Of the COM
.I,N l..
| publican press of the country and the
party workers would speak out on the
| subject and make the demand. TIE
BEE has already said that if Senator
| Quay sincerely desires the good of the
republican party and its success next
year he will promptly relieve it of any
J necessity for, defending his relations to
itby resigning the chairmanship of the
national committee This, it is said,
some of his warmest friends have ad-
vised him to do Everybody chcerfully
admits the value of his services in the
last campaign, but there car be no ques-
tiOn that the long standing charges
against him have, notwithstanding his
refutation, impaired his usefulness as a
| y
existing conditions afford to take upon
itself the defense of his public record.
Ha Ting made his defense, Mr.. Quay cam
not now impair his own political fut
ure by withdrawing from the nationa
committee, as he would have done by a
withdrawal without answering the ac
cusations, but his continuance at the
head of the committee cannot fail to be
more or less damaging to the party, not
withstandng the fact that 1t is for the
present helpless in the matter.
The opinion Of republicans in Wash.
ingtou that the national committee
ought to be reorganized will be con
Cured in by republicans everywhere
who earnestly wish to see the party

in control of the government, and there
