A CONHl'lttACV UtIMAKKED.
For tlio past three months , nnd in foot
over since the acquittal of the impeached
state olJlcorB , there has boon u concerted
ofTort by the boodlors nt the state cnpl-
tnl nnd the railroad bosses nt Oranhn to
contrive schemes for shelving Judge
Thovcnorablo judge has been
n thorn in the flesh of the state prison
rings nnd printing contract swindlers
ever since ho had taken his seat on the
supreme bench.
V *
When the first lease of penitentiary
convict Inbor wn,9 made to Bill Stout ,
Judge Maxwell , seconded by Justices
Lake und Gantt , interposed a veto nnd
enjoined the letting under the fast nnd
loose contract which had then boon
mndo. That made the penitentiary con
tractor nnd his successors' his unrelent
ing enemies ,
When the State Journal company nt-
tempted to perpetrate a gigantic print
ing contract swindle upon the taxpayers
of the state , Judge Max well thwarted the
job and made the Juunutl gang of public
plunderers his undying enemies.
Judge Maxwell's ' decision on the right
of the state to ropulato railroad rates ,
either by legislative net or through a
board of railroad commissioners , has
rendered him very obnoxious to the
railroad managers. So the judge found
himself bitterly opposed by stole house
rings , penitentiary rings nnd corpora-
tion lawyers every time ho came up for
rcnomination. But the great mass of
republicans have unwaveringly sup
ported the fearless and unpnrchasablo
judge and the corporation cohorts were
overthrown twelve years ago and again
six years ago , and the judge was trium
phantly ronominatcd.
That was when the republicans haft
from 15,000 , to 25,000 majority and a nomi
nation meant an election. Now that the
party has a narrow margin , if it is not
actually in the minority , the enemies of
Judge Maxwell have adopted now tactics.
They not only propose to pack the re
publican convention with corporation
henchmen and men that train with the
boodle gang , but they also propose to
make it impossible for Maxwell to be
elected through an endorsement by in
dependents , or for any man to be nomi
nated or elected who will not bo sub
servient to their interests.
With this end in view , the cappers
and strikers who are on the pay roll of
the railroads and manipulate both the
republican and democratic machines
have for weeks been industriously circu
lating through the state and secretly
orgam/.ing the dependent employes of
thu roads and the annual pass men to
pack the primaries and conventions so
that no man be placed on any ticket who
has backbone enoughto * resist the bland
ishments or throats of corporate power.
In order to make sure ot the defeat of
Maxwell every district judge has been
urged to enter the lists as n candidate ,
and where the district judges have re
fused to play oatsoaw , unprincipled ,
self-seeking lawyers have boon induced
to announce themselves as candidates.
Each of those candidates and all of
them jointly are to bo pitted against
Maxwell , whom they expect thus to
choke off.
In order to prevent an endorsement of
Judge Maxwell by the populist conven
tion , the stool pigeons and galvanized
anti-monopolists , who have boon smug
gled by corporation managers into the
populist camp , have industriously
worked upon credulous farmers and
workingraon in favor of a straight popu
list nomination and nothing elso. This
has been the keynote of all the decoy
ducks that mix with the populists for
revenue only. And to make the conspir
acy doubly sure , several so-called populist
lawyers , with the late railroad lobbyist ,
llogan , at the head , have boon encour
aged to bo candidates on the populist
ticket.
Now , with possibly two or three ex
ceptions , every Nebraska lawyer who
professes to bo a populist is an impostor ,
simply playing apostate to his old polit
ical faith to sell out the now party to the
highest bidder. This is a very caustic
charge , but it is the unvarnished truth.
The average lawyer who talks loud
against monopolies and bankers is a
monumental fraud , ollhor hired by cor
porations to work the populist racket or
else waiting ready to do the bidding of
the corporations for a price or for a posi
tion on the railroad stall.
Will the people of Nebraska allow
themselves to bo hoodwinked and hand
and foot-bound to bo delivered over to
the tender mercies of the corporations ?
Will the now reform party , which :
claims to bo desirous of purging the
state house and upholding a fearless ,
unbrlbablo judiciary , allow itself to ho
duped by mouthy mountebanks nnd
reprobates into helping the railroad
ring und the boodlors strike down und
repudiate the grand old muu who has
stood manfully and fearlessly for olgh-
hof
teen years as the honest exponent of
the constitution and laws of Nebraska ?
If they do , they will insult and strike
down the honest men of all parties in
ino
the Into legislature who sought to re-
deem Nebraska from corruption , mis-
rule and reckless raids upon thu public
treasury. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

TOO MUCH 1.1KK A. 11WVODHOME.
Dave Mercer was elected to congress
by going around among the country
bumpkins kissing bablos. That proba
bly explains why County Judge Ellor is
trying to bo so sweet on the women who
have children that want to BOO the
World's fair. The judge generously
volunteers to pay the faro of n couple of
dozen children providing the Psyoho
man can got the railroads to inaKo tho.
faro $5 for the round trip. This is a
proposition ! with a string tlod to it.
Why does not the good and generous
judge put up acouploof hundred dollars
nnd lot as many children ride on it as
the roads will carry at regular World's
fair rates ? There is nothing to hinder
him or anybody else from chartering a
train for Chicago or from contributing
any amount they see fit to any number of
people willing to accept their donations.
( The chief objection that can bo ad
vanced la against taking money out of
the school fund or any other public fund
for a World's ' fair excursion. Incident
ally the attendance of men who ar.o bait
ing i for votes nt the Train hippodrome is
too transparent , and therefore makes
it look like a campaign barbecue vvhoro
the candidates buy the roasted ox and
the people have to pay for him.
By the way , why can't ' the enthusiastic
politicians and editors who want lo edu
cate other people's children at the
World's fair grounds , pass 'round the
hat among themselves nnd invite Bar-
nurn's menagerie to come to Omaha ,
whore thochihlron would learn natural
history by an inspection of the animals.
There would bo a chance for the over
worked bchoolmarm and underworked
and underpaid parent to come in and
on joy the luxury of a trapeze perform
ance and bareback riding of two horses
going in opposite directions , like our ac
robatic poiit'clans , with Psycho Train as
the ringmaster.

Just now when the funds to the credit
of the public schools are running low
any scheme to divert the money that
belongs to teachers and janitors to the
purchase of things not absolutely needed
should bo discountenanced. Music in
the public schools is at best an accom-
Dhshmont rather than a part of free
school education. So long as it involves
no other outlay than the pay of two or
thrco singing masters it may bo sub
mitted to by the taxpaylng patrons of
the schools without grumbling.
But when it is proposed to supplement
the tnusico , ! fad with the purchase of
half a dozen pianos , it is time to demur.
If the school board invests in any pianos
it should buy the very host , and that
means an outlay of at least $3,000. Cheap
John pianos , rated at from 850 to 82 %
would bo only good for kindling wood in
loss than live years. Besides that , they
are objectionable for the ruason that
they tend to miscducato the oar of pupils
that may have some musical talent and
should got their elementary music frtfm
a perfectly toned instrument.
So the question resolves itself into
this : Will the Board of Education be
justified in taking $3,000 , out of the treas
ury for the purchabo of half a dozen
pianos just to please the faddists ? Wo
believe wo voice the sentiment of nine-
tenths of the school natrons when wo
say , most emphatically , noj There may
a time come when the school board has
moro money in its treasury than it
knows what to do with , and even then it
will bo a mooted question whether that >
fund is intended for musical instruments ,
rather than school books , scientific ap
paratus , teachers' salaries and fuel.

Today the committee on ways and
means will begin giving hearings to
manufacturers and others Interested in
the tariff. The date fixed for the last
hearing is September 20 , so that if the
committee moots every day , exclusive 10f
Sundays , for the purpose of those hear
ings , there will bo only fifteen days devoted -
voted to that purpose. This , however ,
does not correctly indicate the time that
will actually bo given to 'obtaining the
information which the committee im
plies a desire to obtain , since it will
meet only for a short time each
day , and it will bo moro nearly correct
to say that probably not moro than forty
hours will bo given to this purpose.
Practical men will not need to bo told
that very little can ho learned about the
vast und varied industries of the country
in that timo. Noting the fact that the
ways and means committee of the Fifty-
first congress , which passed the Mo-
Kinloy act , began to give hearings > 0n
December 20 , 1880 , and continued its
sessions for such purpose until February
27 , taking nearly 1-100 , printed
pages of testimony , the Philadel
phia Leilyer observed that the pres !
ent committee scorns disposed to act
with too much haato. That paper
very properly suggests that any change
in the tariff flhould not bo made without
ample time for reflection on the pr.rt of
the members of the committee , and the
fullest opportunity should bo ulTordod toil
those citizens who desire to communi-
cato their views to the committee.
Manifestly the democratic majority of
ofot
the ways and means committee do not ,
believe this to bo necessary , for they de
clined to extend the time of tlfo hear
ings when asked to do HO by the republi
can members of the committee , and It
must bo obvious to everybody that the
decision to glvo any hearings
was entirely perfunctory. It was
the practice to glvo manufacturers and
others concerned in tariff changes an
opportunity to bu heard and It was
deemed expedient , that was all , not to
ignore this rule , but the majority of the
committee made the time for the hear
ings as short us possible without irn -
currlng the risk It linking It i absolutely
ridiculous. ThoT/iyf , is there Is no In
tontlon to mnko UM or give consideration
to any InformntfoW1 which may bo sub
mitted not in lino"with the settled pur
pose of the doinocyftts regarding a re
vision of the tnrHTno No ( aots or nrgu-
montn which m'rfy" bo presented to
the committee , [ fylth a view to
maintaining existing duties on nny
class of manufactured products will
have any welgh't or Influence upon
tlio work of revision. Indeed , it Is said
that the democrats of the committee
will go right on framing n now tariff
bill while the hearings nro In progoss ,
and It is oven stated thnt the chairman
of the committee nlreitdy has a measure
about completed. The republican mem
bers nro not to bo consulted until a bill
has boon framed , when as n matter of
courtesy they will bo permitted to look
it over. But notwithstanding the fact
that the giving of , hearings is
simply In purauanco of precedent
and purely perfunctory , the manufac
turers of the country will bo wise not to
withhold any Information or expression
of opinion they may doom it proper to
uiako , to the end that Iho party in power
shall not have the opportunity lo say
nftor a now tariff law had boon enacted
that the industrial interests of the coun
try declined a chance to bo heard und
thereby impaired their right to llnd
fault with the result. Even if what they
present to the committee shall go for
nothing now it/may bo of value in the
future discussions of the question.
OFFICCUS of Now York charitable
organizations have , after careful investi
gation , ' come to the conclusion that tho1
existing sources of relief are quite
siiflkuont to meet the emergency now
upon thorn. The cases brought before
thorn during the month of August just
closed number twice those of the same
month last year and the probability is
that they will bo correspondingly
greater as the winter approaches. Yet
despite this fact , thcso organizations ,
while they ask for pecuniary assistance
and contributions , are earnestly depre
cating any system -of general or indis
criminate relief without careful investi
gation into each individual case. In
one of their manifestoes they say :
"It must be roinomborcd that the
prevailing business depression exists
all over the United States and that if it
should bo in any way known through
the press or otherwise that general nnd
indiscriminate roiiof was being given in
Now York , there Would immediately bo
attracted to our qi'ty such an army of
the unemployed , "not to speak of the
tramps and worthldss idlers who are
only too glad to su iiijt on charity , that
every roiiof society and agency would
bo overwhelmed , and' ' the ability of our
city to maintain thls inllux of paupers
would bo exhausted.- Now is the time
for the exercise of "philanthropy , but it
must bo intelligently applied if harmful
results are to bo avoided. Under present -
ont conditions tho'ni id. of thecharita-
bio organization ift-ftll j.ho . more appa-

Kansas City Journal : Senator Sherman
has grown tired of hearing it said that ho
demonetized silver In 1878 by trlekury , and
be propososhcreafterto brand all such state
ments as lies. It naturally takes a man of
Mr. Sherman's temperament some time to
got warmed up , but twenty years of denunci
ation and nbuso lias llnully roused him.
St. Paul Pioneer Press : John Sherman
put a favorite falsehood of the free sllveritos
through a process of electrocution which
ought to put nn oiul to It. It turns out that
Ernest Soyu , so far from desiring tlio de
monetization of silver , wus nn o.irncst bimot-
ulllst. But Senator Sherman need not flat
ter himsolt in demonstrating tlio story to bo
a falsehood ho has put a quietus upon.
All the moro H Is to bo expected that Dou-
nelly and his ilk will keep on repeating it.
Minneapolis Journal : John Shernvin in his
speech administered to the favorite- false
hood of the frco coinage people the third
thrust it has received this session. Con
gressman AlcClcary forced Sibloy of Penn
sylvania to admit that Ernest Scyd , the
alleged bribemouger of the ' 'monoy power. "
the "gold bugs , " eto. , was an enthusiastic
silver advocate. Senator Merrill quoted a
long letter of Soyd advocating silver , and
now Mr. Sherman strips the last rag from
the silver bugs' pretense and the falsehood
stands out in all its nakouuoss , as does in
deed the twin lie about the surreptitious
passage of thu coinage act which omitted
the old silver dollar from the coins.
Globe-Deinoer.it : 1'ho speech of Senator
Sherman Is the most valuable contribution
which has been made this year to what may
bo called the literature of the silver ques
tion. While thu distinguished Ohioan joins
the rest of the sound-money men in demand
ing the repeal of the purchase provision of
the law of 181)0 ) , bo points out that other
'
causes' have conspired with this act to bring
about the present financial depression.

There Is but ono wise course for the Ne
braska republican state convention to pursue.
It should nominate Judge Maxwell and thus
insure party success at the poils. The judge
is a conscientiously honest man who never
truckles to any man or party , und because
this or that legal opinion rendered by him
does not accord with the views or interests
of others , is no reason at all why ho should
bo sat down on. Moro than this , his opinions
are mostly in line with the mass of
public sentiment. If ho is defeated it will
be the work of the bosses who will thereby
defeat their party at the polls.

Republicans must bo alert to the duties of
the hour. The conventions , both county nnd
state , will soon bo hold. Don't let any per
sonal likes or dislikes provout the nomina
tion of the strongest ticket possible. Lot
the work bo done so that no apology will bo
necessary after the conventions are over.
The fight will bo a hard one this fall at best ,
so don't load the ticket with weak timber.
The fusion idea is quite popular among our
enemies and very likely the fight will bo
against the combined forces of the demo
crats artd independents. That ought not , to
frighten us , however , for with a judicious
ticket the opposition can bo "put to sloop. "
Lot each republican put party above self
and the victory is won.

It has long been n popular delusion that
the government has a claim against the
Union Pacific railroad that some day might
bo paid. Probably no ono that fully under
stood the situation has entertained any such
idea at any time since tlio government took
the second mortgage on the road as security.
When concreas allowed another mortgage ,
for moro than It would cost to build the road
today , to take precedence over the one hold
by the United States , It virtually surren
dered its claim against the road. In a couple
of years the bonded debt of the Union
Pnciile begins to fall duo , ana there
nro no funds to pay It. The llxed
charges have been so great that by
straining every nerve , charging all they dare
and economizing on every point , thov have
not been able lo pay running expenses and
meet them , to say nothing ot filling a sack
with coin to pay bonds and mortgages with.
The outcome will bo beneficial to Nobrntka

This will wipe out nit other claims , nud ( ho

great t'lonoor Nebraska line will bo on tin
equal footing with other \yestcrn railroads
nnd the stalocan control It , ns It does other

The United States sells its forest lands nt
$2.60 an acre , lumber companies indirectly
acquiring a square mile of land for little
over J 1,000. while the timber on it Is often
worth $20.000. The French government for
ests return an average profit of f2.C > 0 an aero
annually from timber sales , or at per ceut
interest on the value of the Sand. The
United States now owns only enough forest
land to provide n continual timber supply to
its present population , if forests are man
aged and lumber used as in Germany. The
United States is exactly in the position of a
man making largo drafts on and usinir up an
immense idle capital , which , if properly in
vested , would return an interest sudlcicnt
for his expenditures. In lbS5 tlio government
of Bavaria sent an expert forester to study
the timbers of the United Status , who
stated : "In fifty years you will have to Im
port your timber , and as you will probably
1 i i < i preference for American kinds , wo
shall now begin to grow them in order to bo
ready to send them to you at the proper
time. "
