A lawjor has as much right to bccoino
.ho . attorney of a i all road company as
ic 1ms to accept as clients any corpora-
Ion or individual Hut his services must
> o legitimate. A lawyer has no right to
) oeomo a partj to a chi'ino of swindling
ind fraud under pretence that ho is
noting for a client. A great many law
yers protruding to bo loputablo have
ngaged in such tUMjuHtv , but nobxly
would dare to justify their conduct. A
'ailroad lawyer has a perfect right to
'oproien' ' , his corpotatlon in the courts.
le has the right to appear bofoie legis-
atlvo and congressional ouninitluos to
ilcad against or fora bill inhieh his
clients are interested. He has a right
to appear before city , county and state
> ourds of equalisation to protest against
tlu > rallioads may deem to bo ox-
eossho or unjust taxation. In the exor
cise of these functions ho must , luw-
jvor , conllno himself within the bounds
of law.
A railroad lawyer has no more right
to uoncoct criminal conspiracies , miiko
a party to a scheme of bribery
and corrupt combination under the pie-
enso that ho is acting in the interest of
lis clients , than he bus to become an ac
complice of a burglar or highwayman
rindor the Mime pretense. And what ap
plies to the lailroad lawyer applies with
equal force to the railro.ul managers.
It is the duty of the manager ot a rail
road company to protect its interests
urn to interpose his inllueneo in Its behalf -
half uhutovor its intoiests are in jeep
ardy. But no railroad manager bas a
right to o gani/o and maintain a cor
rupt lobbv to subsiduo professional
criminals , to buy up delegates to con
ventions , to pack juries , and to poison
\\ell-springsof free government by
destioying the independence of our
judiciary. This is where the line must
bo draw n.
Kailroad managers and railroad at-
tornojs have the same rights that every
other citi/on enjoys Uut when they
band together with , public thieves and
hire political pimps to op n oil rooms at
the state house to debauch the repre
sentatives of the people in conventions
and legislatures they make them
selves outlaws and dangerous criminals.
They become enemies of the state and
enemies of the public welfare.
What is true of the lawyers and man
agers is true of the section bosaos , sta
tion agents and contractors. They all
have rights as citi/ons to vote as they
please and to act in any political posi
tion to Avliich they may bo elected or
appointed. But they must not imagine
that they are exempted from the penal
ties of the criminal code. The fact that
they are acting for a i .vilroad company
docs not give them the right to promote
bribery or to coerce other railro.ul em
ployes by threats or intimidation.
Neither hat o they u right to discrimi
nate against shippers who oppose tail-
road candidates nor to discriminate
in favor of those who are willing to do
their bidding. There is nothing inoro
demnrali/ing to wage workers than
criminal subserviency for the sake of re
taining employment.
Railroads are operated as common
can iora , and as such they ha.vo ample
protection ag.i'uist unjust reductions of
tolls in the courts and in the stiito and
interstate commissions. No rational
man wants to cripple the railroads or
confiscate their property , but railroad
lawyers , railroad managers and railroad
bosses mint cease tholr law loss practices
and attend to the legitimate business
for which they draw their salaries.
When they eea&o tioasonnblo plotting
and disband their o.ippoiM ami omio-
sai ies they will bo very cheerfully let
alone.

The public schools of Oinuhii will ro-
opea today , and the occasion will bo
welcomed by the children generally as
well as by the teachers , all of whom aio
doubtless anxious to losume work. The
vacation was longer than usual by a
week , but the school year will not be
shortened , as it is understood thoto will
not bo the usual spring vacation. At
any rate it was good judgment to extend
the Munition to thia time , sineo the at
tendance of children at school in the
hot weather that has prevailed since
the beginning of September would
undotibtciily have boon detrimental to
the health of many of them. It is true
that our school rooms are cleanly and
generally well ventilated , but confining
children to study when the temperature
is in lite nineties cannot but bo danger
ous to the health of all but the most
robust phjsically.
The resumption of public odiUMlion
through nit the country , now very gett-
01 ally ace unplished , Is a matter of sur
passing Intel osl , The fancy may find
soinothinsr pleasing in the picture of
millions of children Hocking to school ,
and when one rollouts that ever class is
equally entitled to this privilege , that .sn .sn
the schools of thp people tin1 children
of the rich and the poor aie on the same
footing as to rights and opportunities i ,
and that advancement is the toward of
intelligent perception and indiibtrlous
application , rather than of social position
or wealth , the magnificently beneficent
character of the public school system
can bo understood. The American people
ple m o proud of their public schools , and
justly so. They otTer to ever child a free
education , and their existence permits
no excuse for ignorance. That the
system has faults however , nobody
will ptotond to deny , mid to the
ooncctlou of those the ablest
minds enlisted in the cause of educa
tion are constantly addressing thorn-
Eolvcs. The complaint is in regaul to
methods , and it is suggested that the
country has heretofore grown too ru [ > -
idly for the Introduction of systematic
and compi ehensivu educational methods.
The condition of society has been too
uttbottied to permit the working out of
a complete scheme. It is consequently
a matter of doubt with many whether
the lesulta uro properly proper
tioned to tlio tuiiiioy and olTorl
expended The great nornl , In the
opinion of some of the nest educators
caters , is a better ad justmont among the
different forms of education-it activity , a
general scheme to which all efforts are
Hindu to conform. The absence of those
c Hidltions results. It Is contondul , in a
loss of olIIHoncy in tlio work done , and
of two to four years in the working life
of the student who trios to give himself
the best preparation possible for his
career. There is doubtless much in this
view , but it may be questioned whether
a general scheme is practicable.
It is a gratifying fact , however ,
that very generally there Is man
ifested a disposition to break away
ft out the old-fashioned methods and to
raise the standard of the schools , and
there Is no reason to fear that there will
not bo progress made In educational
work. In tlio trial of various methods
that one which shall show the best re
sults will bo generally adopted , but the
realization of any general scheme is un
doubtedly remote. The cost of public
education in the United States is largo ,
but it is an expense which the pojplo
bua.1 gladly. All they ask is that the
icsiilts shall bo adequate.
The public schools of Omaha compare
favorably with the bust in the oiiutry ,
and nowhere arc thine engaged In this
work more hijnl to their duties than are
the teachers of this city.

A movement somewhat unique in its
character has been started by the
workers in the textile industries of
Philadelphia. They have organi/ed for
the purpose of trying to induce congress
to lot the tat ilT alone , and have forwarded
an appeal to this oil cot. There are
seventy-live textile industries in the city
of 1'hiladelphia , which in prosperous
times give romunoiativo employment tea
a largo number of people. A jcar ago
all these industries wore in active opera
tion and the workers in them were get
ting good wages. Now , according to the
statement of the workers , two-thirds of
them are without employment and they
know not how soon they and their fami
lies will face actual want. With winter
not far olT , the situation looks most
serious for these people , and believing
that the threatened radical toyision of
the tarilT isiospottsiblo forthoir idleness
they ha\c determined to ask congress
not to proceed with the proposed re
vision. They have appointed repre
sentatives to go to congress and urge
their cause , which they will do solely as
unemployed workots who see before
them tno certainty of great hardshii
and privation if they continue to bo idle
any gteat length of time.
Of the right of these people to take
this action there can , of course , bo no
question , and it is im possible not to feel
sympathy with the movement , but it is
not at all probable that it will accom
plish anything. Congress will hear the
plea of those unfortunate American
citi/ens , but the party in power wil
give no heed to it , because it is irrevo
cably pledged to tovolutioni/e the tarif
system of the country. It will not go
as far as the demand of its na
tional platform and destroy protection' ,
because the president will not permi
this to bo done , but it miidt make more
or loss radical changes in every sched
ule or confess that iis bid for the sup
port of the country in the promise o
taritl icform was a false pretense. The
democratic majority in eongro-is will not
make any such confession. The loadct s
intend to go on with the work of tarif
revision regardless of the olleet which
this purpose is haing upon th
industrial intorcnts of the country ,
They assume that the closing of mill
is simply a scheme of the manufacturers
to create a public sentiment hostile to
meddling with the tarlfl , and doubtless
many of them fully believe that such is
the case. It is not at all probable , there
fore , that the appeal of the Philadelphia
textile workers , however justifiable it
HUIJ be and certainly these people are
justilied in asking that they be per
mitted to obtain the means of subsist
ence will have the effect they hope for ,
The democratic party was placed in
power with a full knowledge of its posi
tion tegardlng the tariff. It is not to
bo expected that the party will now
i enounce its utterances for jv.irs and
lepudiato Us oft-repeated pledges. The
country must bo prop.ucd for a complete
revision of the tariff , and the best that
can bo hoped Jor is that it will not be so
o.xtiPino as some of the democratic
leaders would have It.

UK'lr Pilot ( irp ) Wo do not Know that
there Is or will be in this county
any organ
ized opposition tn Chief Justice Maxwell ,
but wo suspect that a still hunt will he
made in this diiection and the Pilot deshes
to wain icmiblie.ins of the counts against its
possible effects So far as wo have heaid
individual oxpiession upon the subject is
unanunoiislv in his favor , but it is a natat
ions fact that a quiet elToit is being made in
many counties in this htato to hecuio delega
tions to the state convention unfav liable to
his renomlnation and this , looin counties like
Dodge , vvhote Maxwell Is strong among the
people In fact , the skill of the model n
political nnnipulator is not unfrequently
successful in seeming the election of del -
gates that are diametucall.v opposed to the
will and wishes of the mass ot the people
We do not Know that anv such move will bo
tued in this county , hut It is n do id sum
thing that the paity IHISSCS in high places
and all corporation Intoiests me arrayed
against the retuin of Judge Maxwell and < n
live geneial etToi t they aio making it Is only
lonsonahle to suppose that this county will
not he oveilooked Wo feel asstuod that
nine out of every ton republicans in the
comity feel that Judge Maxwell should bore-
elected , and feeling thus they should make it
coi tain beyond a doubt that thcirovvn county
does not slay hint. The way to do this
effectually is to attend the piinuries
and make suio that Maxwell
delegates ate sent up to the county conven
tion , men , too , who will bo equally suio to
elect onli Maxwell delegates to the state
convention. It will bo poor consolation to
kick over lesults after defeat. The time to
act is at the pi imarius ar.d convention , thus
aiding to ward off detent by aiding to nom
inate n man who has proven himsulf nn un
biased judge , one who has never pioved
recteant to a trust nor quailed in the hour of
cmoigei'cv. ' This one issue is of more im-
poitance than all the eountofllcos and
should bo the dominating Issue in the selec
tion of delegates in every ward nird town-
shin of tlio county. Washington county can
not affoid to go back on Judge Maxwell. It

it Is not done.
