AT LAST thocity council has sustained
ono of the mayor's votocs , which goes
to show that the mayor is not always in
the wrong and tbo council is not always
bull-headed.
Tun Bun dcslros to see this district
represented in congress by n republican.
For this reason it feels impelled to talk
plainly about candidates with whom the
party cannot hope to win.
THIS district should bo represented in
congress b.v'h republican. But it must
bo a republican whoso record is clean
and who can steer clear of factional
strife nnd bitter personal contention.

A GOOD many Iowa people are won-

"JUDGE" is fairly outdoing itself in
its great cartoons this year. It was
noticeably weak in 1881 and stronger In
1888 , but now the superiority of its work
ever that of Puck is evident to almost
nnyono. And , of course , its work in this
( Campaign will have a correspondingly
greater effect
Now is the time to clean up this city.
The Board of Houlth must have money
to do it ; the peril to this city's health
and prosperity is imminent and the
council must at ouco , without quibbling
or hesitancy , provide funds for this
rlty'a cleansing. No "politics" or delay
will bo permitted by the apprehensive
tnd indignant public.

tion of liquor sellers in Council Bluffs
until the kiiguo gnvo up nnd retired

county supervisors for 81.259.80 for pro
fessional services. The bill may bo ail
right , but it shows that the kind of pro
hibition that they have in lowa is ex
ceedingly expansive for the actual ro-
suits achieved.
A MEtrrma of considerable import
ance to railroad trainmen is to ho hold
In Chicago on September 28. The dele

subject to bo considered is the adoption
of safety appliances. This has now be
come a matter of immediate concern
to the railroad companies , on account
of the bill providing for the substitu
tion of improved couplings and brakes
on all railroads. It is hoped that nn
effoutlvo system can bo found by which
the great doath-rato among railroad

Mil MAINE'S LKT1 Kit.
Mr. Blaine announces that ho will not
make any ftnoochcs in the present cam-
paign. but ho lias wrlttan u letter in
which ho discusses briefly the issues
ana vigorously urges the necessity of
republican SUCGOJS. The letter is ud-
drcssBtl to Uio chairman of the Maine
republican state committee , but it was
undoubtedly intended for republicans
everywhere
Mr. Ulalno regards the tariff as the
issue of greatest import-.inco und ho
aays the oxporlonco of the past two
yoa-s has fully vlndtc itod the McKlnloy
net. Agriculture is romunor.itfvo. min-
ufacturos nro prosperous , nud nommorco
Is moru flourishing than tilany previous
time. The position of the democracy
regarding Iho tariff is discussed and it
is shown that the claim of that p.irty
that it represents the views of Jefferson
is wholly unwarranted. The dis
tinguished author of the Declaration of
Independence- in f.ivor of protection
and ho did not boltovo that policy to bo
unconstitutional , as the democratic
party ot toduy believes. The fact is
thut modern democracy htvs precious
little likeness to that of .TolTorson. Mr.
Blulno has a good word for reciprocity ,
which the country owo3 to him more
than to any other m-in , and ho gives n ,
simple explanation of its charade.-
which will uimblo everybody to Under
stand just what It is.
Mr. Bl.iino justly regards as impor
tant the currency question , and ho
roundly condemns the democratic pro
posal to restore the state h ink currency.
Ho says that no ono will question who
knows anything about the subject that
befoio the war this country had the
worst currency system of any onltght-
enod nation In the world , and the pro
posal that wo shall return to that sys
tem insult ! the intelligence of our
peoplo. Mr. Blaine dois not over
state the matter when ho siys that
the state bank currency caused
an aggregate loss of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars among iho poor. Every
body who remembers th.it period knows
that the greater part of the p ipar cur
rency then in circulation w.is subject to
discount whenever it gotoutsido of the
shadorf of the b.uik of issue und it was
this kind of money that the wage-
earners generally , received. As was
forcibly said by Prosldont Ilarrison in
his loiter of acceptance , referring1 to
this matter , "tho denomination of a
bill was then often no indication of its
value. The bank detector of yostardajv
was not a safeguard today as to creditor
values. Merchants deposited several
times during the day , lost the hour of
bank closing should show a depreciation
of the money taken in the morning. The
farmer and the laborer found the money
received for their products or their labor
depreciated when they came to make
their purchases , and the whole business
of the country was hindered and bur
dened. " There could bo no greater
folly than to return to such a condition
of affairs , for the people who woOld suffer
most from it are the producers and the
wage-earners the classes who are most
deeply concorned'in having a sound and
stable currency.
Mr. Blaine counsels aguinst multiply
ing i sues , nor would ho permit the de
mocracy to divert attention from those
questions which are of prime import
ance , as it is endeavoring to do. Protec
tion and ( i sound currency nro the vital
issues of the campaign and Mr. Blaine
wisely admonishes th& republican party
to steadfastly adhere to these questions.
His letter evidences his hearty desire
for republican success and it will exert
a wholesome influence , upon the party
generally.
AX UNWARRANTED Cf.AlM.
. The claim of the supporters of Mr.
Cleveland that he did raorj than any
other prosldont to advance the cause of
civil service reform Is as unwarranted
as most of the other claims made in his
behalf. The appointments made during
the first year of the Cleveland adminis
tration wore many of thnm among the
most scandalous ever mado. Who does
not remember how Senator Gorman of
Maryland secured pleasant nnd profit
able places for his political henchmen ,
most of whom were denounced by the
Civil Service league of Baltimore as
scoundrels who ought to have boon in
the penitentiary.
It is true that at the outset Mr. Cleve
land was imposed upon. Politicians in
whom ho thought ho could have confi
dence misled him , but even after he had
learned this the situation was not
greatly improved. In the last year of
his administration the railway mail
service was almost demora'ized by the
turning out of experienced nnd compe
tent men and putting in others who
woio not flttoa for the service , however
capablp they may have boon aa politi
cians. Ono of the earliest acts of the
present administration , in order to improve -
provo tiio olllcioncy of the railway mail
service , was to i oatoro to it the compe
tent clerks who had been turned out for
political reasons. It will not help the
matter to say that this was the work of
Mr. Cleveland's postmaster goiiornl ana
that the prosldont knew nothing about
it. It was his duty to know till about it ,
and us the matter was publicly discussed
ut the time it is hardly posiihla that
Mr. Cleveland could have boon alto
gether Ignorant of it. it is well known ,
also , that In some of the postolllcos of
the country the moat llagrant violations
of the civil service reform law wore com
mitted and the president did nothing
about it , though his attention was called
.to the circumstances. In Eomo of the
departments at Washington very loose
methods worn in operation regarding
the civil service law , and for the reason
that most of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet
olllcors wore hostile ta the law.
Under the present administration civil
service reform has boon steadily ad
vanced and the law is more fully en
forced now than ut any previous time
since its enactment. President Harri
son says in his letter of acceptance :
"Thoro has been no partisan juggling
with the law in any ot the departments
or bureaus , as had before hnppbtibd ,
but appointment- the classified ser
vice liavo boon made from the eligible
lists. The system now in fo-co in nil
departments has for the 11 rat time
placed promotions strictly on the basis
of merit , " Thin without having made
any great promises 1'rosldont Harrison
has steadily and as rapidly as was ox-
podlont extended the reform , until it is
now nccoinpllshlng what it. was in
tended to effect , nnd in this the presi
dent has had thu hearty support of
every bond of department and of nil
subordinate officials No candid man
will deny that Prosldont Harrison has
done more than nny of his predecessors
for this reform .ind incomparably more
than Mr. Cleveland did. The reform Is
now tlrmly established and no future
president will venture to disregard It ,
oven though hoHllo to it. But the
truth of history requires it ta bo said
that its success is duo mainly to repub
lican presidents and to none of them so
much as to President Harrison.

The doiith of the venerable pool ,
Whlttlor , will bo widely mourned , for
ho had endeared himself by his verse
nnd his gcntlo lifo to a greater number
of people than pnrhapj any other Amor-
lean poet , with the poaslblo exception of
Longfellow. Though not a great pool ,
Whitiler's muse had a grace , and deli
cacy , n tenderness and- sweetness , that
charmed thu oar and touched the hoiirt
as few others can. lie did not roach the
loftier heights of song , but nil that ho

Mr. Whittler's pen was a potent force
In the anti-slavery period , and It is per
haps not too much to say of him that no
other man not oven Garrison or Wendell -
doll Phillips exerted a greater Influence
upon tlio public mind or did more to
mold popular sentiment His poems
wore rend where the ringing editorials
of G.irrison nnd the splendid orations of
Phillips did not roach , and they pro
duced tin Impression which the others
could not mako. Much of this work lost
its interest with the passing away of the
conditions that evoked it , but the fame
of the poet does not rest wholly upon
his lyrics of freedom.
Whittior's life was of ideal gentle
ness and wo recall no more beautiful
character iu nil literature. Ho loved
humanity and his talents were employed
for its improvement and elevation. Ho
sot an example of gracious and gentle
living which all men would do well to
imitate and died with an unquestioning
faith in an immortal ullfo beyond the
grave , in ono of the sweetest of his
poems is this verse :
"I know not wlioro HU Islands lift
Tholr frondod palms li air ;
1 only know I cannot drill
Beyond Ills love and caro. "
WHO SHALL GO TO CUNGIJRSST
This district has not boon roprosontoJ
in the lower house of congress for the
last two years. That fact has boon
patent to every porsan conversant with
the lack of attention on the part of Con
gressman Bryan to such trifling matters
as make up the wants of his constitu
ency. Omaha has been especially un
fortunate in this regard. Her public
building appropriation has been trimmed
down by the cheeso-parlng champion of
economy , and her other needs have received -
coivod the cold shoulder of neglect and
indifference of the great Lancaster
statesman.
Now that the district has been di
vided und it is conceded that Omaha
will have her own representative _ it is
manifestly of vital importance that the
man to represent us in the lower house
of congress shall bo possessed of the
capacity and temper that will assure
for him the widest influence in the
national legislature and in the depart
ments. In other words , ho should bo a
man who can not only command atten
tion on the floor of the house , but should
in his intorcourjo with members of both
houses , and cspscially with his col
leagues in the senate , conduct himself
with an unrufllod tamper and a disposi
tion that tends to secure their .cordial
co-operation. *
The republican party can and should
present such a candidate to the voters
of this district. The question is , Will
the rank nnd file of the party blindly
lese sight of these essential factors of
success and rush headlong Into the
nomination of a man who is in his
makeup the very opposite In every re
spect of what a useful and influential
congressman should bo ? Is the success
of the party to bo jeopardized to gratify
the vaulting ambition of such u many
Are the material interests of this
metropolis to bo sacrificed to the caprice
of any politician , even if ho was ever so
deserving ?
TUB UKrunucAN CAUCUSES.
The republican caucuses for Omaha
and Douglas county have boon sot for
Friday night. While THE Bnc has
never approved the caucus system of
nominating delegates , who ought to bo
chosen without prior interference or
combination at the primary election , wo
are compelled to recognize the fact that
so long as the caucus is retained as part
of our nominating machinery it be
hooves the rank and file of the party to
take part and , if possible , to frustrate
any attempt of political schemers to
commit the party to a course thut is lia
ble to provo disastrous. .
The caucuses next Friday should bo
attended by every republican who takes
an interest in the success of his party.
The outcome of those caucuses cannot
fail to bo f.irroaching. The delegates
sclented at these caucuses , when ratified
at the primaries , will nominate the can
didate for congress from this district ; a
legislative delegation of three senators
and nine niomborrf of the house ; almost
an entire Board of County Commission
ers ; a county attorney ; justices of the I
peace , and last , but by no moans least
important , the assessors for the coming
yo IP.
Inasmuch as Douglas county and
especially Omaha is to bo the battle
ground of the campaign In Nebraska ,
the impending caucuses will in a grant
munsuro determine whether the party
is destined to win a brilliant victory on
the 8th of November or by reason of
unilt nominations in this county is to go
down in defeat. The da tiger at this
moment is In the selfish ambition of men
who seek positions of honor und trust
from u'lilcti. they ought to bo barred.
Political campaigns are governed by
natural laws. The stream cannot rise
above Its tfouroo. A convention made
up of political roustabouts und ward
heelers will naturally select as candi
dates men of tholr own stamp. If the
caucuses next Friday are dominated by
the vicious and mercenary elements of
the party our congressional ftnd legisla
tive tickets will fntft pass muster before
tlio reputable ijji | , responslblo class of
the community mul the outcumo Is
almost certain to'bo fr.aught with dis
la8
aster.
In order to winmr. the 8th of Novem
ber the cauouso.'fm'ustsoloct as delegates
clean nnd roapaot , blo men who will con
scientiously cnilotvor : to make up a
ticket that cm l/t / } J-jnntnondod as worthy
of popular confidence , and will staud the
severe ordeal of criticism to which it
will necessarily oon8ubjcctcd.

Ills ono'of tha misfortunes of the
democratic party in the present cam
paign that its commissioners of statis
tics do not scorn to roalizd how danger
ous truth is to the success of the free
trade movement upon which-tho hopes
of the democracy are chiefly founded.
The coramisjlonor of statistics in Indi
ana , Mr. Poollo , has bjon publishing
some facts about wages and labor In that
fltuto which are of about the satno com
plexion as those published by the Now
York statistician a few days ago ,
though they are on a snrillor scale.
Ho id a domocr.it , like Mr. Pock , and
ho also roaomblos the latter in his total
disregard for party considerations when
dealing with matters of statistic ; . The
Indianapolis A'ctO't , a free trade news
paper , says of his recent statement :
' 'Two facts are prominent iu Mr.
Pcollo's report. The average earnings
of wage-earners , if these conclusions tire
trustworthy , are larger than has gen
erally been bollovod. In Indianapolis
the average yearly earnings are esti
mated by Mr. Poollo tobo3535 ; In Evansville -
villo , $311 , and In Terre Haute $023.
The weight of published evidence has
heretofore indicated an average of
annual earnings smaller than hero
given. "
This does not indicate a disposition 1o
question the reliability of the commis
sioner's statements or his sources of
information. Last any aomocratlo news
paper unfamiliar with the facts should
jump to tljo conclusion that the capital
ists have been imposing on the Indiana
statistician wo hasten to say that his'
facts wore gathered entirely from work-
ingmon. Ho addressed questions to
them and accepted their answers as
Poclc accepted those of the 0,000 manu
facturers iu Now York state who responded -
spondod to his queries.
The facts concerning the wages of
workingmen reported from Indiana at'o.
not exhaustive , but so far as they go
they tend to showjWiattho wago-oarno'rs
are not the impoverished and down
trodden slaves whj'dh ' the democracy , for
campaign purposes , represents them
to bo. All truthfui Itestimony is to the
same effect , and qs.'solLd ' facts cannot bo
overthrown or discredited by empty
denials and coun'ter-statomonts they are
bound to prova'll 'and continue their
good work. ,

Tun Bnu is inv tjio habit of calling a
spade a spade. This isnot Judge Scott's
year. When ho washonored , by the re
publican party with a-district judgcship
last yoitt'c ' j ho p bliciy nnd > pri
vately declared * > that a place upon
the bonoh would Illl the meas
ure of his ambltion. That ambi
tion has been 'gratitiod. No other
man who had been identified with
Omaha and Nebraska sucli"a compara
tively short time and had done nothing
toward building up the party in this
state has been equally favored. But
this was not all. Within throe months
after ho had become a judge ho was
made n delegate to the national repub
lican convention to the exclusion of dis
tinguished republicans who had boon
hero half a lifetime.
Men occupying a position in our ju
diciary cannot but engender animosi
ties , ana notice become imbued with
prejudices and hard feelings against
lawyers who nro practicing at the bar
and parties whoso' causes are tried be
fore them. The acrimonies of a cam
paign are not easily obliterated , even in
the breasts of men of the most genial
and 'unriflllod temper. But with Judge
Scott they become implacable. In the
present political crisis Judge Scott is
not available as a Candidate for con
gress. To nominate him would bo court
ing inevitable defeat.

JOI.IBT , III. , Sopt. 7. Senator Shelby M.
Cullom of Illinois spokn as the exponent ot
republican principle * at the Ohnutnuqua
grounds this afternoon. There was a largo
crowd In attendance and the speech was
much applauded. The tariff question was
the principal subject of the discussion , the
senator stating that for once the domooratic
party has daclarod frankly Its position on
this question for free trade. The issue Is.
now fairly made un and in this campaign the
two uartlcs will go to tbo country to
discuss the question upon its merits
free trade versus prelection. After 100 years
of tariff legislation , much of it under demo-
crntio administrations , the democrats sud
denly discover and declare In tholr platform
that It Is unconslllutlonal to so shape the
tariff act as to glvo protection to American
manufacturers while securing the necessary
revenue to carry on the government.
The democratic platform found hearty
commendation from the English and Eu
ropean press generally , but would not moot
with the approval of the American people ,
for whom it Is the function of the Atnorlcan
congicss to legislate.
HeindlU to the Wugu Kurnor.
Senator Cullom devoted much of the time
to reviewing the boncllts that have accruou
from a nrotocttvo tariff to the wnga earner
of Iho United States and showed by compari
son how It hod gradually reduced the cost of
living.
Alluding to the tin pinto question , ho do-
rlarod thut under the protection of ttio Mo-
Ktnloy bill 13,010,000 pounds ot tin pluto
had been proouced In this country during
tho.voar ondlng Juno . ' 10 lau. This result
has totally destroyed iho position of the
democratio party on this question , ns facts
are moro potent than theories.
Farmers , bo said , sometimes complained of
protection , but the sure method to advance
the price ol all farm produce and crops is
through a diversity of labor , so as to pro
duce the homo consumption o ( American
products. The ostablistnnont of now Indus
tries and manufactures by protection is the
solution.
I'lild n Trllmto to llliilno.
In conclusion , Senator Cullom paid a glowIng -
Ing tribute to James U. Blame as inn author
of reciprocity and denounced the democratic
"
pretension ! ) "on that subject. IIo also ar
raigned the ilcmocratlc party us being , nu-
coralng to their present platform , In fuvor of
the abolition of national banks and the re
turn tD tLo old state bank system. They
would discard 100-cont national currency and
return to red-dog nnd wildcat state currency.
The republican party tavors maintaining the
present system , under which no man ever
lost a dollar by having national bank notes
in Uls pookot.
