favor shown to the money power and

the supreme tribunal has for many you
failed to command tlio constant and u
questioning confidence of the people.
The decision of the court in the mo
important case It has passed upon in r

ought to go f.ir toward restoring publ
confidence in the tribunal. HO far as at
suspicion of partisanLsm may have bei
hold against It , As a loading republic :

sion will bo regarded as Illustrating tl
superiority of that great tribunal to pit
tisan influences. The court is compos
at present of live associate justices , wl
were appointed as republicans ; and of
chief justice and two associate justic
who were appointed as democrats. The
was no dissenting opinion regarding tl
citizenship of Mr. Boyd. Tlio ropu
llcan members of the court were unur
mous in the opinion that when elect
to the office of governor of Nobrnsl
Mr. Boyd was ti citix.cn of the atvto : ni
of the United States. They did not t
agree as to every proposition ostablls
ing his citizenship , but they wore a ur
in the opinion that his claim was ad
quatc and complete.
Grant that there was no distinctive
political or partisan question involv
in this case , still it will hardly bo deni
that partisan considerations might ha
influenced the decision. They did 11
do so , and the fact is a gain for the clai

A mnrkothouso has boon a long-fi
want in Omaha. That is ticknowledg
by all parties not airectly interested
the trafllc in vegetables , moats , poulti
game and edibles rai'en by the furrr
and truck gardener. But while the i
tall grocers as n class have horotofc
opposed aud defeated all market-hoi
projects they have really stood In tin
own light.
Omahu never cau hope to become
great manufacturing center until s
can place the factory man and factc
woman in a position to reduce the ci
of living. Factory pcoplo in Oma
must receive higher wages than a
paid in New England or Penusylvni
unless they can have chruper living
Omaha than that class of workers c
procure in the east.
Onmhn ife in the Heart of the meat p
dttclng region and in n most proli
agricultural section. It stands to rous
that moats , vegetables , butter , eg
etc. , should bo cheaper than
distant points that draw the bulk
their moats and provisions from Omn
and Nebi nska. Now assume that I
retail gro ( era' trade with working pi
pie would bo materially reduced by pi
lie market ? , it is almost certain that <
dealers would moro than muUo up
this reduction in sales by the purcha
made by mill and factory owners a
their salaried employes. In oil

will largely Increase the number of c
factories and that will stimulate
other branches ot business con
quutitly improve tlio retail trade

The establishment of markot-hou

Tlioro is no doubt that the right th
for Omaha would bo to build and sup
vise her own market-houses. Ol
western cities derive a handsome ro
nuo from market-houses. But if Oms
is not in position to build her own in
kot-houso she should do the next b
Uiinir and let it bo undertaken by |
vale enterprise , providing always t

with restrictions us regards marl

than tlio rates now charged at St. 1'u

It Is doubtful whether the city ha

guarantee such exemption so far
