T11E imMOCtlATia PLAX
If the proposed plan ot the democrats
In the house of representatives ot an-
pointing n commlttoo of ntteon which
shnll novo supervising control of all
mnttcrs In which It is necessary that the
party pulley shnll bo maintained , is car
rlod out , It should tend o slmplifv the
course of legislation , avert conlllcts
that mlelit otherwise occur , and ex
pedite the business of congress A great
deal would of course depend upon the
character of the tnon constituting the
committee but It ought to _ o snfo to as-
Bumo that for so important a duty the
wisest and safest tnon would bo selected
men who , while Mlly disposed to enro-
ftilly regnrd the policy and principles
of tholr party , would understand that
Its Interests are not alwnvs to bo host
promoted by nn obstinate assertion of
partisanship in opposition to what is
obviously fair , just und for the general
good
The proposal of this plan ot a commlt
too Is an unexpected indication ot the
growth ot a better spirit among the
democrats ot the house than prevailed
some tlmo ngo , judged from the ex
pressions of certain men prominent In
the party councils A few months ago
It Boomed certain that lho minority in
the house had dolormiucd to obstruct
the majority at every stop , regardless
of consequences to the Interests and
welfare of the country It was doclarcd
by some ot the loaders that the demo
crats in the house fully appreciated
tholr power nnd proposed to use it to
the fullest extent , and the republicans
were warned that If they oxpoctcd to
accomplish any legislation they must
have tholr full membership on hand
constantly This menace to the orderly
course . of business in the national legis
lature Was not approved by conservative
democrats , but it was reasonably ttppro-
hcudod that this small clement would
have liltlo influence In dotormlnlng the
course of the party In congress If , as
now appears probable , consorvativa
counsels hitva provailcd , and tlio pur
pose indicated shall bo adhered to , the
party is to bo congratulated If ob
struction to the will of the majority
is to bo lctt to the determination of a
carefully selected committee , rather
than permitted to every politician who
may \\\iut notoriety , thcro is reasonable
assurauco that there will bo far less
of it
It is quite certain , however , that in
nny event the partisan conflicts in the
house will bo sufficiently numerous and
obstinate < to render the session of ex
ceptional < interest to' the politicians at
largo I Undoubtedly pretty much every
thing I that is strictly in the line of re
publican policy will bo vigorously com
hattcd , and the tariff may bo cxpectod
to play Us usual prt us a source of pro
longed contention It is said , that the
democrats i do not propose to interfere
with the consideration of the tariff
question at any time the majority choosa
to take It up and that they will vote
for all reductions of duties They will
criticize whatever they do not like , so
it is given out , in a way pronounced
enough to keep the issue clearly in
view , hut they do not prouoso to resort to
any sort of technical obstruction This
is a promise which it may safely bo predicted -
dictod will bo fullllled only in part It
#
will not take long to develop the demo
cratic programmo , and at present it can
only bo hoped that it will bo as con
servatively arranged as it is now said
it will bo _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
IWNEA'III CONTEMPT
G. 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 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

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

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 ,

The importance of the mayoralty
