IK the democrats really want to make
any kind of n showing in the coming
campaign they will have to kill off Jeff
Davis licforn ho writes any moro lottora.
TUB Dea Moines Leader thinks that
Nebraska will stand by the nido of Iowa
in the coming democratic national con
vention. Of course she will. The two
states will stand together solid for the
grand old causa of saying little about the
tariff nnd doing Ions. When it cornea to
such a test Nebraska democrats can bo
counted on every time.
TUB charges of bribery against "Old
Bill" English , in connection with his
t
nan's election contcit cannot bo made to
otick. Mr. English made promises with
great liberality , but with his well-known
thrift , skipped from Washington before
nny of them wore liquidated. A good
runny oonxroasmcn have since boon anxiously
)
iously looking for him for undelivered
t
"goods. "
Tun Iowa commissioners of pharmacy
Imvo suddenly manifested their existence
by taking avray the licenses from two
druggists who have boon Boiling liquor
contrary to law. If the commissioners
have any idea of keeping this practice up
after the prohibitory law goes into effect ,
they will hare their hands full. Howev
er , the amount of their salaries would
hardly justify any sush intention.
GK.TEIIAL satisfaction is expressed all
over the country at the summary manner :
in which Cox and Kasson sat down on
"Hichliou" JLlobinson in the house a day
or two ago. Robinson is a raving crank
and ia continually making himself a
nuisance to the house and the whole
country. Mr. Hanson's rebuke to him
on calling a bravo young naval oflicorwho
had risked his own life to save others "a
dudo" was timely and well put.
Tim full text of Senator Sherman's
recent letter on the presidential chances
puts him in rather a different light than
that shown by the press abstract. Without
descending at all from the dignity and
manliness which ho has always shown in
politics , it makes it clear that ho really
wants the support of the Ohio delegation.
It is evident that ho thinks that withthcir |
united support ho can bo nominated. Ho
admits it is hardly to .bo expected
that the republicans of so largo a state as
Ohio should htwo the name choice for
president. Ho thinks this ii especially
likely to bo true "for ono who has boon
compelled to take so active a part in poli
tics" as himaolf. Still ho thinks that ' 'if
they wore entirely united and cordial
they could easily nominate me. " After
each a declaration it is hard to BCD how
the Ohio delegates could leave Senator
Sherman to support a candidate in whom
they Imvo as little interest as in Blaino.
Tuiiui : is ono thing that can bo said in
favor of the western railroads , and that
is they pay their employees promptly
each month. This is doing a great deal
better than some of the on stern railroads.
Take , for instance , the Now Jersey cen
tral , the Lohigh , and Suiquohanna. They
have not yet paid all their men for the
month of April , and some of the roads
have not yet paid for the month of
March. The holding back of the pay of
the working-men must certainly work
great hardship , and cause dull times all
along those roads. W ro the Union Pa
cific , the B. tt M. , and other roads centering -
toring hero , to pursue Euoh a course ,
Omaha would foul it , and times would
consequently bo very dull. The circula-
tir-n of the money that is promptly paid
out each month by our railroads helps
the local trade wonderfully , and pay day
is always looked forward to with pleas
ure , as the men know they will not bo
disappointed.
Tun stream of Omaha at present arc
badly torn up owing to the paving and
Bworiug , aud they are in a very dinner-
ous conditiou , \rtioularlyat ui ht. The
excavations and trenches are loft without
proper protection and signals of warning.
This carolcunoss on the part of the rou-
tractors should not bo permitted to con
tinue. The city authorities should at
once compel them to put up proper
guards around the trenches and to hang
up more rod lanterns. Unless 'this is
done BOino ono ia liable to receive severe
injuries at almost any hour of the night.
Bven it , drunken man is entitled to bo
protected from falling into a hole in the
street and breaking Ills limbs or hU
nock. The city in any case of injury on
the strooU by reason of carelessness in
the part of contractor ! is liable for dam
ages , and therefore proper precautions
.should bo taken to prevent any such re
sult.
GATfTAL
" Tlio OMAHA iW is n champion of
Wood" . It clamors for the hanging of
every man who is convicted of murdor.
It assumes that the oauso of the preval
ence of crime and frcqucnty of murder
is the laxity in the execution of the
death penalty. THE BP.B is manifestly
wrong. U mailers not what the crime is
that n man may be convicted of there
is n morbid ekniro on the part of ft
largo portion nf society to witncsi n
legal hanging , and if the editor of Tm :
BEB were sentenced to bo hanged , no
matter whether ho had committed any
specific crime or not , ho would find
that largo numbers of his follow
creatures would take delight In wit
nessing the execution. It is the cer
tainty and not the severity of the punishment -
ishmont that inspires confidence in the
stifliciency of the law for the prevention
of crimo. Thn recent speedy trial and
conviction of the prize fighter , llanloy ,
will bo found to have n most salutary
cffoct upon the tendency to violate the
law against prize fighting among the
vicious nnd immoral element. If ho had
boon hung for his crime the inor.il effect
of his punishment would have boon less
lasting and salutary in preventing A rep
etition of the ofTonao on the part of
others. The fact is the law of hanging is
repulsive to the aonso of right and justice
in mankind , and inevitably produces a
wrong effect on society. Neither Iho
law nor the individual Ima the right to
tnko human lifo. Mnn does not give
lifo , neither has ho the right to lake it.
Plattmiouth Journal.
A man has no right to take lifo , but
society must exterminate assassins , or
murder would noon bo nt a premium.
Capital punishment ia not an attempt to
terrorize criminals by ghastly public exe
cutions , but it is simply the most olFoc-
live method for removing a class of
criminals whoso existence in or out of
prison ia n constant menace to public
lafoty. The jails in every oily of this
sountry are filled with murderers , most
iTliom alow their victiniH in cold blood ,
r'ot the majority of those destroyers of
luman life confidently look forward to
long career of human slaughter. The
ihrowdost criminal lawyers are ever
oady to defend them , and when the
ioohnicalitios of the law have been ox-
miislod every underhand measure ia ro-
lortod to for securing either an acquittal
r a light sentence. The murderer stands
bettor show of escaping thu peniten
tiary altogether than the horse thief or
liousobroakor.
The Cincinnati riot was a deplorable
iflair , but that popular revolted n salu
tary ofloct upon juries and courts not
Duly at Cincinnati but nearly every city
in the land.
The fear of punishment nlono can bo
relied on to prevent crime. If criminals
fool Biifo in pursuing their lawless course
in preying upon lifo and properly wo
ihould soon rolapnu into barbarism. If
ivory cold-blooded murderer that is
aught is convicted aud hung , doesn't any
iano man believe that the crime of inur-
lor would bo greatly diminished ? Would
the Plattamoulh Journal have such a
brulo as" Richards , the Nebraska butcher
irlio killed several persons , sent to the
penitentiary for lifo instead of being ,
hung , as ho was and dosorvcd to bo ?
Would the Journal profnr to have
such a murderous outlaw as Rand , who
killed ever a dox.on parsons , sent to the
penitentiary for lifo , rather than have
him under capital punishment. After
Rand had boon in the Illinois penitenti
ary only a few years , ho nearly killed hia
keeper , and was himsolt killed by prison
oHicors , whoso lives wore In imminent
danger. The chicken-hearted jury that
convicted Rand and fixed his sentence at
lifo imprisonment , were responsible for
the murderous assault made by Rand up. .
on his keeper ; Had Rand boon senten
ced to death and promptly executed , his
fall would have boon a warning to ether
murderers that they must pay the penal
ty of their crimes with their lives. Un
less murderers are hunn.niul hung legally ,
lynch law will continuo to bo resorted to
by outraged society , and these who oppose -
pose capital punismont will bo largely
responsible.
THE LICENSE MUDDLE.
The city treasurer has in his possession
about $ -10,000 , derived from the liquor
license fund. This inonoy ho holds as a
trustee , not for the school fund , to which
it rightfully belongs , but for the liquor
dealers as a deposit. CityTroasuror Buck
assures us that ho would bo very glad to
pay this money ever to the school board ,
ut ho cannot do so , owing to the pocu-
iar regulations made by the city council
'or the payment of liquor licenses. It
trill bo remembered that soon after the
present high license law wont into effect
an ordinance was drawn up by General
Mandorson , who was then city attorney ,
to conform with the provisions of the
state law. That ordinance was drawn ao
ngouiously that it enabled General Man
dorson to givq to the council some
very extraordinary legal opinions ,
which are not sustained by the courts ,
and which no lawyer , who values his rep
utation , would have given undo
any circunuUncos. General Mandoraon
hold that the licensing boird wai com
pelled to grant license to the keeper of
any divu or don , no unttor how disrepu
table , unless a written remonstrance sign ,
ed by citizunn wn filed with the bu rd
and sustained by testimony. Every
lawyer of standing must say th&t this in
not the law , as thu board clearly has the
right to reject any application for license
if it is within the knowledge of the board
that the applicant does not keep on or
derly and reputable resort. This opinion
of General Mandorsou laid the founda
tion for all the evils the city is now suf
fering from , owing to the licensing of
low dlvo3. Plenty of protests could bo
procured nyaintt thorn , but pooplu do not
earn to incur the enmity of bruisers ,
roughs and outlaws , when they have n
right to expect that the police would in
form thu board as to the character of such
places.
Another remarkable opinion given by
City Attorney Manderaon waa that the
\
wholesale liquor dealers wore exempt
from paying any Hconto. This is gene
rally regarded an cbfitrary lo the letter
nrfd spirit of the law , which makes no
distinction between any class of dealers.
Under this ruling of City Attorney Man-
dorson the schools of Omaha have
already boon deprived of about $30,000
in license money during the past three
years.
List , but not least , comes the present
muddle about the money said to bo "on
deposit" with the city treasurer , Under
General Mandorson's ruling an applicant
for license wai not required to pay down
the entire $1,000 , which the law
very plainly says must bo paid before
license is granted , but ho could pay in
quarterly or oven monthly installments
until the whole $1000 was paid. In car
rying out this scheme of evasion , City
Attorney Mandoraon prepared a sot of
blanks to bo filled out by each applicant
and filed with the clerk nnd treasurer.
Ono of thcflo blanks is the treasurer's
receipt to the applicant for liquor license.
The following ia a copy ;

The City Treasurer :

City Clerk of Omaha.
This blank shows on its face that the
money deposited with the trcaouror is
subject to recall at any time by the don-
lor before a license is granted. Now ,
under the recent decision of Judges
Wukoly and Neville , no license can bo
granted until $1,000 has boon paid.
Hunuo the man who has paid $500 or
$750 may , at the expiration of six or nine
months , withdraw his application , aa ho
has a right to do , nnd got his inonoy back ,
because ho has no legal license , and is
just as much subject to all the penalties
of the law as if ho had paid nothing. Sup
pose that a man who has paid in $500
dies , the board cannot grant a license to
him , and the money would have to bo re
funded to li\i widow or his heirs. This
blank also shows that the city clerk , if
disposed to join in with the dealers may
order the treasurer to roTund every del
lar. At present there are ouly three le
gally licensed liquor dealers in Omaha ,
and there are quito n number who have
not paid a dollar for the last three months.
It was within the power of the present
council , and it was in fact its duty to pass
an ordinance strictly in accordance with
lie decision of the court. Such an
irdinanco was drawn up by City Attorney
'onnoll ' , but the council , to make the
Huddle worsopas8cd an ordinance drawn
p by 0. A. Baldwin , who is the attorney
> f UIOHO liquor doalora who do not propose
o pay any license if they can help it.
The council must retrace its stops , and
omo arrangements must bo made whore-
the money paid to the treasurer can
o turned ever to tha school fund.
NEARLY every person who comes to
.his city pays a visit to the high school ,
nd while admiring the building they ox-
iross surprise that -wo have not made
.ho . opproaahoa and the surroundings of
.ho grounds more attractive. The high
rhool is located at the most command-
ng point ia Omaha aud the grounds can
o made ono'of the most beautiful placet
n the city. It , is the desire of the board
) f education to beautify the grounds , but
, ho b nrd cannot carry out its ideas
intil Twentieth street is graded. Thifl
work ought to bo done at once , so that
, ho bowl can proceed with the proposed
mprovomcnts this noaion. Another
.hlng that ought to bo done ia the grading
f Capitol avonuo. This uvenuo u the
nridost street in the city , and the h < gh

perty-owners succeeded in blocking the
proposed improvement by ( jotting but an
njunotion. Ho did this boc.iuso the grade
would luvo thrown his lot bolorv the
ovol of the nlrcot abaut four foot. Wo
believe , however , that by cutting down
Twentieth street the grade of Capitol
avenue can bo arranged so that it 'will
not in anyway damage the' property ol
ho gentleman who got out' the injunc
tion. A mooting of the property-hollars
interested ought to bo called to consider
this matter and try to arrange it ( satis
factorily to all parties. The proposed
Improvement would greatly increase the
value of every lot on that street.
