Thk Toutanelle club of Omaha
is up in arms against lldward Rose

This is an indication of Mr. Rose
water's success.

The -'3 1 iv.en drawing pay from
the (lOVcrr.mer.t on the Isthmus of
l'anama are almost as many as the
law allowed in the army of the
I'r.ited States a few years ago. In
h:s latest report to the Secretary of
War Chairman Shouts tells why
much of the money they received
is wasted. The work of digging
the canal is delayed by the neglect
of Congress to decide whether the
eruor expires he will be consigned
to private life where he properly
belongs.
Let each county see that they are

Jn.H SnxivAN does not desire
the democratic nomination ror
governor. When approached upon
the subject the other day he re
marked' "If I thought there was
anv chance of the democrats nomi
nating me for governor I would
nove into a state where the officials
would refuse to honor extradition
and Income forever after a fugitive
from justice."
Thk delegates who attend the
democratic state convention should
Ik; selected with the understanding
that a candidate for United States
senator will 1 nominated. For
the democrats to fail in doing what
thev have advocated for years will
not add very much to the success
of the party at the ballot box. The
masses of the party who select the
delegates should so instruct their
representees to the ensuing state
convention.
Tin: keynote of democratic action
in la'f was sounded by the demo
crats of Kansas in their state con
veiitiou, declaring that the Diugley
tariff is the greatest of all grafts
and the source of despotisn which
the people suffer at the hands of
the trusts. It is a direct challenge
of the republican claim that unnec-
f;ne consistency which leads him to caiul sha!1 1e nuJe with locks or
denounce tariff plunder even when it i ,t sca jevei
seems to be flowing toward his own
pocket. Hence the discomfiture of
those who sought to trap him by
asking him if he, himself a cotton
planter, was not in favor of a pro
tective tariff on his own product.
'Why should I want to rob carpen
ters and bricklayers and black
smith," asked Mr. Williams, t' ! the dirt fly.
The sanitary work and policing
of the canal zone administration
have banished fevers from that part
of the Isthmus. The mosquitoes
have been almost exterminated.
Comfortable and healthful quarters
are prepared and preparing for the
armv of laborers who are to "make
making them pay an artificial price
for cotton?' ' This is a much stron
ger position than that taken by
Senator Tillman when he admitted
that the tariff was but so much steal
ing, but declared that, so long as it
was going 011, he was bound to get
South Carolina's share of the booty.
Mr. Williams, too, fairly left the
republicans terror-stricken when he
asked what they would do with the
tariif-revision message which the
president was sure to send in before
a twelve month had passed.
Omaha has a half doen republi
candidatcs for I'nited States sena
tor, but Rosewatcr has the longest
pole and will surely "knock the
persimmon." He seems to be "it"
this time.
Thkkk are many small enter
prises that riattsmouth could just as
well have had in the past two years
had it not been for street corner
knockers. Why are such mortals
allowed to breathe, anyhow? They
are a misery to themselves and dis
grace to the community.

"HrsTKK" Kkown is getting so
busy trust busting that we fear lie
will not be able to complete the job
in any given case, before the elec
tion of a I'nited States senator be
comes necessary. Then his political
enemies might make the cruel
charge that Xorris was only play
ing to the grand stand.
even thing that enters into general
use are a good thing for the people

phasizes the position of Kansas

strongly than does their platform.

Thk republican senatorial con
test in Nebraska promises to le a
hot one. The state house ring
candidate, "Huster" Hrown, prom
ises now to le low man in the
race. His boom came too soon to
lc lasting. Rosewater knew what
hour to make a lucky strike.
Tin: Fountauelle club of Omaha
which was instrumental in securing
the nomination of lknson for may
or against the wishes of the rank
and file republicans, says it pro
poses to keep on doing business at
the old stand. This is certainly
g-ood news to the democrats of the
metropolis.
SiXKKTAKY Shaw is unuecessar
ily pessimistic in counting anions
the political evils of the day the
"trend toward the obliteration o
nartv lines." Nothing can nil
out party lines in this country
The trend which Mr. Shaw fails to
see aright is that of republicans
moving, with something like a land
slide rush, to net on the democratic
side of the line.
Thk democratic party holds, and
will proclaim in the congressional
campaigns of this year, that the
whole system by which special in
terests are given the right to rob
and oppress all other interests is
false in principle and vicious in
practice. 1 lie republican party, it
is now evident, will not budge one
inch from its traditional position
that the manufacturing interests of
this country should have the right
to levy tribute upon all other in
terests and industries, regardless of
their merit or of their value in the
general economy of the country.
The republican leaders prefer that
the democratic party should win in
this Year's election on a tariff re
form platform rather than that the
growing tarin reiorm seniimem
among republican voters should find
expression through a republican
congress. They prefer that tariff
revision should be undertaken
by democrats rather than by
republicans. The democratic par
ty accepts the responsibility and
is llikelv to make tariffrevision
a paramount issue in 1906.
Democrats do not hold that Ameri
can industries should be exposed
to foreign attack or discrimination.
It is the entire, history of the gov
eminent antedating to the advent
of the republican party there was
hardly a tariff act in which some
protection, direct or indirect, was
not extended to nascent American
industries.
And yet, the dirt is not flying in
any considerable quantities, and
cannot fly until the kind of canal to
lie built is decided upon. Though
the steel works in the I'nited States
are booking orders months ahead,
much of the machinery to be used
;.n the canal and harbor work is not
yet contracted for and cannot be
nntil it is known whether the canal
is to be at sea level or above it.
Why is the decision postponed
The opening of the new route is ex
pected to revolutionize the world's
commerce in the Pacific, with most
of the benefits of the change falling
to the United States. The pre
liminary steps for the canal build
ing, the setting of the Panama gov'
eminent, the purchase of the cana'
zone and of the rights and property
of the French canal company were
among the most brilliant achieve
mentsof President Roosevelt's first
administration. Hut the harvest of
all this planting is barred by inde
cision as to what we want.
In this instance, as in many other
of Mr. Roosevelt's enterprises, the
promise of the proclamation is not
fulfilled by the performance. The
country waits and grows wearv 01
waiting while the Senate hesitates.
The country wants that canal and
will hold the republican party re
sponsible if the dirt is not flying
good and fast by midsummer.
Thk Lincoln Journal and Ross
Hammond of the Fremont Tribune
seem already worried over the
candidacy of Kdward Rosewatcr for
United States senator. Of course
this is no surprise to Mr. Rose
water's friends, as it was on the
"bargain and sale" proposition
that "Huster" Hrown was agreed
upon by Ross Hammond and the
Journal faction, but it is not likely
that the convention will fall in
with the scheme, Hammond,
Schneider and the Journal faction
have adopted to defeat the will of
the republican delegates in conven
tion assembled. Hammond,
Schneider and company once ran
the republican party to suit their
notion, but that day has gone glim
niering and only numbered among
the days that were.
Thki.k churches were struck by
lightning i Cleveland, Ohio, a few
days ago and badly wrecked. Was
that also a visitation of providential
displeasure?
Si'KAK a good word for Platts
mouth. If you can't do that keep
a closed mouth to all coiners and
goers.
Thkkk arc just 1.5S7 clerks in
the different departments of the
government more than f5 years
old, and of this number 171 are tip
wards of 75 years. The Civil Ser
vice Commission has completed its
census of the different departments,
and within a few days a report will
be made to President Roosevelt re
garding the years and efficiency of
these clerks. The oldest clerk in
the service is 91 years. There is
one who is 9i; three are 86; four
85; five 84; six 83; twelves.'; four
teen 81: eighteen SO; fifteen 79;
twenty-five 78; twenty-three 77;
and fortv-four 16. Ot the entire
number 189 hold their position on
account of their war records.
Skckktaky Shaw's neighbors in
his congressional district in Iowa
have not onlv refused to endorse
es presidential aspirations, but in
their convention last week by a vote
of two to one they, refused to ap
prove his record as secretary of the
treasury. Well, we should think
that any convention of self-iespect-ing
people of any party would re
fuse to endorse his wihl-cat and
counterfeit money schemes and
aiding Wall Street in robbing the
balance of the country.

Thk radical republican senators,
repudiating the white house surreii;
der, have administered a stinging
rebuke to President Roosevelt by
forcing the railroad senators to ac
cept additions greatly strengthen
ing the original Allison amendment
to the railroad-rate bill. The re
publicans, according to the latest
reports from Washington, will pre
sent a united front for the amend
ment in its new form. Senators
Dolliver, Cullom, Long and other
western republicans lined up solid
ly against the naked review, agree
ing that even the present populari
ty of Roosevelt in the west would
not shelter them politically if they
surrendered to the railroad senators
Senator Dollivar looked to Iowa and
saw (Governor Cummins ready to
rise in denunciation of a rate fiasco.
In Illinois, Senator Cullom saw
Yates making the surrender of an is
sue in the senatorial fight. In
Kansas, Senator Long saw former
Senator Harris running for gover
nor and heading a democratic re
vival, based on a railroad issue,
that already threatens to overwhelm
the republican ticket this fall. These
conditions would move most any
wise senator from the west to move
in the direction ofthe people. How
about the senators from' Nebraska
N'ow doth the busy standpat bee
sing sweet in Huster's !otinet, and
stingeth Rosewater in the the rear,
when lie sits down upon it.
Tin-: country does not need nor
does not care for a republican rate
bill nor a democratic rate bill. The
question of rate regulation is not a
partisan one and the attempt to
make it so is illadvised and foolish
l-'rom past experience it looks as i
it will take all the brains there is
in loth parties to frame a law that
will stand the test and meet the re
quirements of the hour. Any law
that can command enough votes to
make it a pattv measure will with
out much doubt be found to have
little value.
