Christ taught that the state bestowed
much upon Its constituents. and they
must return much for what they had re.
ceived To make law. to obey law, and
against the lawless to enforce law, should
be the political religion OF the citizen.
The things OF Caesar, and the things OF
God, have the same ultimate purpose.
A Christian man ought not to have to
wash his hands after being active In the
affairs OF the state His work there Is
as exalted In it's aim as the work IN the
church. Each is trying to bless man
kind, to give every one his deserts, and
to make the rough way smooth for the

TO LEASE FONTANELLE PARK
Country Club Desires to Rent the
Property and Use IT for Its
Golf Links.

The North Omaha Improvement club Mon
day last discussed the question of leasing
Fontanelle park to the Country club for a
term of years for golf links. The matter
came up on communication from the Park
Commissioners and was presented by ]. Y.
Craig, who read the communication. After
considerable discussion the following reso-
luton was unanimously passed.
Whereas, The North Omaha Improvement
club learns thai the Country club, which
has been organized for the promotion of
the game of golf and other sports is at
this time looking for suitable piece of
ground where street car service can be Sc
cured, we believe that Fontanele park is
admirably suited for that purpose; there
fore, be 1t
Resolved, That we would endorse the, ac-
tion of our honorable Board of Park Com
missioners in granting lease of Fontanelle
park TO the Country club for a term of
ten years, if in their wise judgment the
Improvement to the park ultimately will
justify the same.
The committee on parks and boulevards
was instructed to present the matter to the
Country club and the Park Commissioners
and secure the lease if possible.
A resolution introduced by Ed Mullery
regarding the proposed repairs of school
houses by contract consumed the evening
and the subject for discussion, The Tax
Levy" was passed to the next meeting.

THINKING BETTER OF FUSION
Committee of County Democracy
Waits Upon Peter Cooper Club
to Assure Ii.

At Monday evenings meeting of the Peter
Cooper club, when the smelling committee
called upon to report as to its negotia-
tons with the democrats and its effort to
ascertain upon what terms the latter would
attempt fusion in the city election, and how
much they would be willing to grant the
populists in the way of Offices should fusion
be successful A. w. Tidd, chairman, re-
ported that he had conferred with a number
of democrats and had found that the Jack
soEiaps were ready to fuse, but he had not
been able to obtain any idea of the recogni-
ton they would be willing to give the popu-
lists until after the democratic primaries.
He found that the Douglas county democ-
racy was not inclined to fusion. The posi-
bilty OF effecting a fusion, therefore, de-
pended upon the result of the coming demo-
cratic primaries, in which both sides seemed
to feel confident OF victory
Martin Mcclure of the committee reported
that he had found no one who was able to
say for the democrats just what they would
be willing to do, and he had concluded that
tho best way would be to wait until the
democratic convention and reach an agree
ment through conference committee.
II. Il. Morearty declared that during the
evening Louis Patti and Louis Boehme
coming as a committee from the county de-
mocracy with authority to speak for it, had
visited the Peter Cooper club rooms and as
sured the members of the latter that the
county democracy was Just anxious to
fuse as were the Jacksonians. Morearty said
n report had been circulated TO the contrary
by someone who appeared to be anxious to
put a club into the hands of the Jacksonians
to the injury of the county democracy. He

Way Home from Duty In

Travelling unostcntatiously across the con-

man, Admiral Charles Fitzgerald OF the
British navy passed through Omaha Monday
night There was nothing about his ap-
parel, no badges, no uniform nor other in

When the train upon which the admiral
ard his party were passengers stopped at
tho union station the Englishmen aighted
TO tho platform. Each eagerly purchased
copies OF The Evening Bee and scanned the
headlines for late news from South Africa.
Admiral Fitzgerald was reading the news

form, when acuosted by Bee representative
The admiral a tall, spare, gray-ha haired
man OF perhaps so years, took the initiative
in Interrogation and asked II any news

/, SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. ]

The regular monthly meeting OF the Com
mcrcial club will be held at the council
chamber on Friday evening OF this week
Quito number of important matters are to
be considered and every member Of the or
ganzation is urged to be present. The ques-
tion Of paving Vinton street will be dis
cussed and a report from a committee, in
connection with this matter, will be made
Today a committee of ten, appointed by the
directors a few days ago, will visit the
Omaha Commercial club for the purpose of
seeing what can be done toward securing the
paving of Vinton street from Twentieth to
Twenty fourth streets. While South Omaha
cannot expend any money for this proposed
paving it is thought that If the club takes
hold of the matter subscriptions can be Sc
cured from the business men who use the
street. One transfer manager is willing to
donate 500 to a paving fund and possibly
the packing houses may be induced to con-
tribute something.
The question of opening road to the river
will also be discussed and it is possible that
some feasible plan may be suggested.
1t is the intention of the club to COM
mence systematically advertising the city
and considerable data has already been col
lected showing the amount Of business trans
acted here. This information is to be
printed III q suitable UlduueT anu NneHDpTS
of the club will be requested to enclose these
folders in letters.
Another matter to be seriously considered
is the assessed valuation. 1t ia asserted that
the valuation of South Omaha is not nearly
as large as it should be and something is
to be done toward having the assessors make
proper returns In 1899 the assessors re-
turned a valuation of S1,S2l sos, while the
assessors employed in 1898 fixed the valua-
ticn at S1,S47,000. 1t was hoped last year
that the valuation would be raised to 81 000
000 but instead of making any increase the
assessors decreased the valuation as com
pared with the year previous. BY going
after the assessors with sharp stick it is
thought that proper returns will be made and
the corporation property assessed at its
proper valuation. A great many improve
ments have been made since the assessors
made their rounds last summer and it will
not be hard matter to increase the valu
alton to what is considered the proper fig
ures.

Building Inspector Dunscombe has sent
to Lincoln for a copy of the state law con-
corning the erection Of fire escapes on
buildings over two stories in height. 1t
is the intention of the inspector to try to
induce the Board of Education to erect suit
able fire escapes on the school houses. This
matter was brought up some time ago.
but owing to the fact that large sum OF
money had to be spent in the erection OF
a new building, the members of the board
decided to defer the purchase of fire escapes
until later date. Inspector Dunscombe
considers that the state law is much more
stringent than the city ordinance and he
proposes to file complaints under this law
in case he is compelled to force property
owners to provide suitable escapes.
