M. Hitchcock cannot certainly bo classed among natures noblemen Ho lacks every attribute that quahllos men for leadership and supremacy , and in the place of those high qualities ot bruin and heart which rule mankind he is endowed with an all-consuming ambi tion to elevate himself before his fel lows by Booking to pull others down to his own inferior level To boeorae a shining light in jour nalism has been his craze , and his nightmare has boon Rosewnlor His course toward Hon George W. Llningor has been beneath contempt , and stumps him not only as a mounte bank , but us a man without principle and common decency Less than throe wcoks ago , in the Woild-lkrulil of November 18 , he exhorted - hortod our cltlzous against the dungor of nutting a man in the mayors olllco who was tainted with rallroadism , und this is the lnnirunco ho used : Tom Swobo will cot the republican nom ination for mayor , if Bro.itcu docs not , nnil tbo reason is that he has the joint support of tue Union Pnclflo and This Omaha Biiu The combination scorns a little struuftc , but people plo will pet used to It , Tbo intnrcst of the Union I'nciiia in the majoralty tight arises out ot the Uopot bond matter , Broutch defeated - foatod their first bond proposition , nnd the company wants to have a less critical mayor UuriuK tlio next two years , when the viaduct and depot will bo built and the bonds oarncd , if votca Tiieso bonds are to bo delivered on the mayors certificate , and it may bo import ant to have a mayor who is disposed to bo friendly towards tbo road aud not over criti cal " Tom Swobo was not nominated The Union Pucifio had no hand in nominat ing Llningor ' On the contrary , Lln- iugor's record is free from the slightest suspicion of collusion with railroads Ho is the soul of honor , and nil bis in terests and hope ' s for the future are coiitorod in Omaha Rut Hitchcockthe most arrant domugoguouud modt bullish , small-souled , double-dealer that has ever sought to lnfluonco public sontl- meut thtough nn Omaha newspaper , wants Llningor defeated by Gushing , a railroad contractor whoso whole career has been that of a railroad tool , and whoso business us a railroad contractor compels him to do the bidding ot the railroads Was there ever such an exhibition of menu and malicious mediocrity ? Thomas Swobo has practically ceased to have any business rotations with the Union Pacific But suppose Swobo had boon notninatod instead of Llningor What a howl Hltchcouk would have raised about the dungor to Omnlia from a railroad mayor ! - Out now tbo tables are turned , Hitch cock is supporting a railroader , and ono ot the most pliant ot railroaders for mayor Ho proclaimed Swobo , who has largointorosts In Omaha , to bo ndangor- ous candidate for Omaha , But ho sup : ) Eorts Gushing whoso fortunosand future usluess success uro all inorged with the railroads , And why does ho oppose llningor ? Because ho Is afflicted with Rosowntor on i the brain Ho pictures Llningor ns under \ the thumb of Bosowntor and points to Llnlngor's loglslntlvo record In proof thorcof But Llnlngor's record In the legislature is as clean as that of any man who ever hold a Boat In nny legislative body If Llningor tvft9 in fluenced in his conduct as n lawmaker by Rosewater , ho could not have boon acting undora very dnngorous lnfluonco The charge that Llnlngcr Is anybody's mnn or tool is simply preposterous Suppose , however , that Llningor was actually what Hitchcock trios to ropro- scnt him to bo The tlmo has long since passed by when envious dotrnc- tors nnd newspaper wreckers can har row up the toolings ot this community by puerile gabble about Rosewater It is hardly necessary to point to the fact that Rosewater has boon a potent factor in making Omaha what she Is His loy alty to Omaha cannot bo impugned at this day , and his support of Llningor will nlnrm nobody Interested In Omaha's present wolfnro or future grcntnoss Hitchcock is crazy nftor notoriety , but ho cannot break down honostciti- vensand men ot such high standing as Gcorgo W. Liningur because they have the support of Rosewater and Tun Bui : . It was chcoky enough for him to turn a somorsnult on the liocls of the railroad bond fiasco and champion an out-and- out railroader for mayor But when ho forces Into his campaign for Cushing his small-boro personal jealousy and envy ot nn editor with whom ho cannot hope to compote , ho Bhows a degree of monomania bordering very closely upon Insanity _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1XFA310US TIWAGlimi 1" . John T. Clarke was a delegate to the ropubllcan city convention When G. W. Llningor had received a major ity ot the votes cast hi that convention Clarke niovtftl to make the nomination unaiumous Clarke wus placed upon the city central commlttoo and is now a member of tbo executive committee of that body At the bnnquot given by Mayor Broach to the Solid Twcnty- eight each and everyone of these present - ont , including Clarke , pledged himself ever asd ever to give hearty support to Lintngor nnd the ontiretlckot Nearly nil these delegates accepted the hospi talities of Mr Llningor nnd thcro again reiterated tholr pledges of loyalty to the party and to the ticket In this there wus simply an honorable acquiescence of the defeated minority tothovictoriousinajority Mr , Broatch entered the convention with only twonty-oight out of Bixty-throe dele gates ; and after two hundred and sixty seven ballots it was demonstrated that thirty-livo are a majority ovpr twenty eight Ab honorable men , the minority were bound to yield und support the ticket just as would have boon expected of the opposition had the latter boon dofcated But John T. Clarke is a man void of honor , politically With treachery that would disgrace an Indian ho has hatched a conspiracy against Mr Liniusror , Mr Rush , and three or four of the republi can candidates for the council Ho has sought to invciglo a number of the dologatcs who voted for Broatch in the convention to knife and nssassinato the ticket which they pledged thomsolvcs to supportand has inaugurated an undorhundod scheme to defeat the republican ticket by the free distribution of boodle to republicans who are willing to hire out for such dirty work And this Infnmous work is to bo done by peddling tickets headed Law and Order " Whether Mr Broatch has counten anced Mr Clnrko'sconspiracy wo do not know definitely Mr Broatch " owes it to himself to disprove the reports that are currontconcorn ing this unparalleled piece of treachery Clarke ought to bo kicked off the republican central committee without ceremony This is by no mouns the first time that ho has betrayed the trust reposed in him as a comui Ittcoman by knifing candidates whomiho was in honor bound to support Fonnst pjtnscitvATiox \ The destruction of the western forests on the nubllo domain by depredations and fire recolvos attention in the annual report of the secretary of the interior , who rccominouds preventive legislation by congress It Is stated that the forest fires of the present year have destroyed moro trees than have boon lost by all the donrodutious from the beginning ot the first settlement to the present date , and this form of destruction ia of course tlio most seri ous The secretary urges that the preservation of the forests , which have u commercial value as great as that ot any property the nation owns , is es sential to the successful prosecution of the irrigation of the arid lands now undertaken by the government , or that may bo prosecuted by the states or ter ritories Ho recommends that congress appoint a commission to take into con sideration the subject ot the public timber lands , with ti vlowof ascertaining the best method for tholr treatment , manngomout , preservation , or for tholr disposal This Is in line with the suggOBtlon of the forestry congress , at its last session , and that boay will momorlallzo con gress for such logislntlon The import ance ot the subject cannot very well bo oxaggorntod , but there has boon a sin gular InditTorouco to it horototoro mani fested In congress , although tlio statis tics of loss to tlio government have been annually presented to that body for years , together with tlio most con clusive nrgumonts regarding the great ' d'amngo to agricultural Interests from the forest devastations Moreover , there is the example of European gov ernments whtoh have learned to pro vide moat llborally and carefully for the preservation of tholr forests , The npglcct of this very important interest by congrosa has boon at an enormous cost-to the government , ana the dam age done can never ho repaired , but it is not too lata to raako provision for preserving what romalns The premise of necessary legislation from the presout congress is moro favorable than horototoro , for the reason that members of both houses Imu during the past summer an object les ion in the destruction of the forests by fire , aud obtained a bettor kuowlodgo than they could have had before of the value of the timber in conuoctlou with irrigation A commission such ns recommended - ommendod by 4io secretary of the in terior would cost but n small fraction ot the value of the timber annually de stroyed , and the rosulls to bo hoped for from its investigations would bo ot material advnntngo to the government and n great loon to the west , TJIE D UTYOF WOllKlXOM VX , The worklngmon of Omaha ewe It to thomsolvcs tb support Georco W.
