THE HKH'B enumeration of the many

Mr. ( Muton N. Powell is a gentletrit
man nnd n scholar. Ho was. wo are in-
formed ) an oxx'ollent tenc-hor and has
made a i-ompotoiit and eiliflent member
ol the 1'oard of Kilucali'w ' ; Hut Mr.
Powell might ns well ask a delegation
to the next national convention for en-
fop president of the United
Static UH to ask for a delogu-
tion to the state convention to nonti-
nato him for the i > a < ltion now
ociiuplw ! by Chief Justice Maxwell. Mr.
Powell onjjht to bo intelligent enough to
know that John L. WVbstor is simply
trying to use him as tv club to knock out
ntid turn down .liulgo Maxwell , lie
knows onongh to know that men ou his
own ward delogattoii do not consider
him > | ualiicd ! for the supreme beuli
nnd make no bones about saying
so open and above board. While those
inon Isold him in csUiom in his profnnt
place nl the head of the Hoard of Hduca-
tion they regard ills candidacy ns a sham
and imposition. It is a sham because
Uio parties that have brought him out
as n candidate know that ho has no
chance to bo nomiimtod , ami oven It ho
could got the nomination ho would
stand no show of lit-i'ig elected. In
other words , he would tirag down the
republican party in deft-til and occupy
the unenviable position of a man who
wri'cki-d the party to gratify an over- ,
weenim ; ambition.
Quito apart from a lack of judicial ex-
pnrlcnco which should bar Mr. Powell
as n candidate any Douglas county man
would encounter a very formidable bar
rier in the fact Unit , IXiughis county
already baa all she is entitled to at the
hands of a stain convention. Douglas
county was conceded her choice for
governor and she also has a United
States senator and a member of con
gress and regent of the university. If
there is to bo a candidate for governor
and United States smiator from Douglas
county next year she must necessarily
forego any cluiiii ( or judge of the supreme
premo court.
It. Is said Mr. Powell only wants Doug
las coit.'ily to give him a compliment and
a free advertisement. But how are wo
to compliment Mr. Powell without
striking down Judge Maxwell andjlay-
ing into the hands of the state Ifouso
ring that 1ms already cost the party
thousands of votes. Compliments under
such conditions cannot ho bestowed by
any well wisher of the republican party
or any friend of good government. Mi- .
Powell has no right to ask it. lie
should bide his time and train himself
for the supreme bench by at least one
term on the district bench.

The method adopted by the po
lice authorities ut St. Joseph
for the apprehension of train rob
bers will not commend itrfclf to most
people. The province of police ofllcers
is to prevent the perpetration of crimi
nal acts , ot"to dotcct and aid in the con
viction of all persons hold for some
criminal olfcnso. Train rjbbary is not
a high crime legally punishable by
death. While people generally abhor
and despise a train robber , no
thoughtful man will contend that
law olllccrs have a right to lead
men into an act "of" Vobbory in order - '
dor that they may present a show of
justification for shooting them down.
The railway oflicials who assisted in the
capture of the robbers Monday morning
doubtless felt called "
upon to make : i
horrible example" of then ; , but thuv
police otlicors should notlmvo permitted 1
thu shooting until every uiTort for cap
ture had proved abortive.
Tlio facts in the ctiso show conclusively
that the police and ruilrcad ollicers
had received thirty days notice of
the prospective raid. Detectives kept
u perfect espionage upon the suspects ,
and wore advised ot the titno and place
of llio attempted hold-up. Why did the
chief of police not surround the inon
and ' ' { , 'ot" them before the train
arrived , as was done by the Omaha po
lice in the case of MeCluro and his
Rang' : ' Those valiant St. Joe police
olllcors have added nothing to their
laurels by the cowardly molhods em
ployed lo capture the twodospomto men
who foil Sunday night. It Is strange ,
indeed , that in the terrible fusilndo re
ported to have occurred in the express
car that none of the ollicers and none of
the decoy robbers said to have partiei-
jmted were oven scathed by the
would-bo robbor's bullets , and that the
two robbers were quickly despatched
by the olllcors. The average train robber -
bor is handy with a gun , and if given
half a show can bring down his man.
The conclusion is that Koohlor and
Engle could very readily have been cap
tured iilivi ; , but were lot ! into a trap and
shot down by olllcors who lacked the
courage to meet thorn like men.
For our part , wo prefer the Omaha
plan of dealing' with would-be train
robbers ,

It is reported that Chairman Wilson
of the ways and means . ommltteo re
cently said in regard to the now tariff
bill which the democratic majority of
the committee is understood to be at
work on : "For my part I expect it too
bo a measure entirely in accord with the
nlatform of the democratic party. "
That declaration of principles de
nounces protection ns a "fraud" and
a "robbery , " and proclaims it to bo a
'fundamental principle of the demo
cratic party that the federal govern
ment has n. ) constitutional power lo im
pose and collect tarllf duties except for >
the purpose ot revenue only. " If n
tut-ill bill bo framed to accord with
this platform it cannot put on
any iirtiulo a duty in thu least
measure protective , b > ciiuso to do
BO would bo iinuonstitullonal according
to the latest democratic doctrine. Every
vostifjo of protection must bo absent
from a turllT bill drawn to accord with
the doniccrutio platform. Neither can
there bo any free list , for , us Mr.
Chariot A. Dana philosophically and
forcefully says : "A tat-in for revenue
only , Iroin which every eoiiBlderution
bul llint of revenue Is excluded , cannot :
admit tea or colTeo or tm ur free of duty ,
How , indeed , can il admit anything free
of duly unless the fruniors and legisla :
tors who are responsible for it prove ab
solutely false to their obligations ? "
"Tho Chicago platform , " further
eays Mr. Dutia , "L * u perfectly
new construction , nnd Us doc-
trine is different from nil that
lint boon diacus cd and voted on Iwfore.
j It is ! this very novelty which eminent
minds o.i both sides of the controversy
seem unable to appreciate. Free raw
materials , and o free list of articles in
tended to gratify certain divisions of
the people are merely protectionist de
vice ? , nnd in the tariff for revenue only
they can have no place.1' This interpre
tation of the logical meaning of the
democratic platform clearly points what
a tnrilf measure must bo in order to ac
cord with the platform.
But notwithstanding the reported ex
pression of the chairman of the ways
and means committee it is highly Improbable
probable- that a tarltl bill will bo re
ported i of the character required to har
monize with the principle oinui-
j i ciatcd in the last national democratic
i platform. It is the understanding that
Mr. Wilhon was phu'od at the head of
the ways and means committee because
ho was in full accord with the tariff
views of Mr. Clim-lund , and there is very
high authority for the statement that
the provident does not have any regard
for what Mr. D.iiw calls the "solemn
principle' ' of the platform. Indeed it
lias been admitted by personal organs of
Mr. Cleveland that ho repudiated the
tariff plank of the platform , at ( least ! so
far as it declares against the constitu
tionality of protection , and the president
and those authorized to speak for him
have sought to assure the industrial
interests of the country that they would
not bo subjected to any such condi
tions as the democratic platform threat-
thu president bus recently changed his
mind and it must still be assumed that
Mr. Wilson intends
to bring forward a
tariff bill that will have the approval of
Mr. Cleveland.
It may also bo reinarked that a tiirlff
measure in entire accord with the log
ical construction of the democratic plat
form could not command the unanimous
support of the democrats in congress erin
in the country , while it would bo fought
persistently by the republicans in con
gress , who would bo supported in doing
bt by a large majority of the people. Mr.
Wilson and hisdeinocratio colleagues on
the ways and means committee will
hardly venture to challenge such an op-
position.

There will bo held at Los Angeles ,
Cal. , during the week commencing Oc
tober 10 , an international irrigation con
gress , which it is expected will ho very
largely attended
and have important re
sults. This congress was resolved upon
two years ago by the irrigation congress
then hold at Salt Lake City , and it has
received recognition by the general gov
ernment in a circular issued by the
Department of State to the diplomatic
ollicers of the United States , in
structing them to informally notify
the governments to which they tire ac- j
credited of the meeting of the inter-
national Irrigation congress and request
co-operation ( through duly accredited I
delegates. ( The governor of California
recently issued a proclamation in rofcr-
onuo to the congress , in which he said
that no ono question is more intimately
connected ( with the future development
ol the country west of the Missouri river
than the reclamation of our arid lands
by ; irrigation , and Secretary Grcsham
said in his communication 'to diplomatic
ollicers that "the exchange of ideas of
writers on irrigation and others
having- practical experience with
reference to irrigation problems can
not but prove highly beneficial to
this most important interest
, not
only to our own country , but to
all others where irrigation i practiced
even to a limited extent.1 The subjects
to bo considered by the forthcoming con
gress will relate to the application of
irrigation , stutu , national and interna
tional legislation regarding irrigation ,
engineering , oto.
The Hiibject of irrigation is ono of
steadily growing interest and impor
tance. When it is considered that the
Mipply of arable land available for set
tlement at terms offered by the govern
ment is nearly exhausted , and that
within n very few years none of it will
bo left , it is evident Unit the time
cannot bo far distant , oven if
wo should have no other de
mand than will come from the natural
incrctitio of our population , when we
must Und the needed
supply in the re
clamation of the arid lands by irriga
tion. This vast area of our country ,
comprising more than 200,000,000 acroa
that can bo subjected to cultivation , the
necessities and the enterprise of the
American people will not permit to
much longer remain in its present condi
tion , and the question to bo decided is
not what may bo accomplished by irri
gation , because thin has boon deter
mined by ample experience , but what ia
the best policy under which to apply it.
It la not questioned that an ade
quate supply and proper distribution
of water over the arid region would
develop agricultural roaoureos capable
nl supporting a vast population and
which would add enormously to the
wealth of the nation. But it is a most
formidable task and how it can best bo
done , HO that all interests may bo prop
erly conserved , is really the prime ques
tion. The congress at Los Angeles may
find a practicable answer , or nt any rate
make a long stop toward the solution of
the problem.
The people of Nebraska have u com
mon interest in this matter and should
bo well represented in the international
irrigation congress. The state is entitled -
titled to sixteen delegates to bo ap
pointed by the governor , two from each
congressional district and four at large ,
besides which each county can ueud two
delegates , to bo appointed by the county
court , and each chamber of commerce
two. Any qualified person who may
desire to attend the congress can doubt
less fcccuro an appointment as delegate ,
anil it is to be hoped the number of such
will bo auHlclent to give Nebraska an
adequate representation.
TJIK reports of the state banks , pub
lished in Tin : IIKK of Monday , make on
the whole u very good showing when
duo consideration is given to the Ihiiin-
clal and business conditions of the past
six months. Probably in no state of the
country have thu bunks practiced a
J moro conservative policy , slnoo llio
. financial dlsturlvatico eel in , than has
. t'lmrncterl/ciiltllo management of the
statebnnksof Nobraiktianil thissliows in
Iho business I'OsTflts , but it was the wise
nnd safe eourso , , } pursue nnd the banks
arc stronger for it in popular conlldonco
nt least , it not in profits and general
resources. UliTcvldont thnt the bank
ing1 instltutionVVlf Iho state are adher
ing strictly to.tho requirements ot the
law and reccjit experience has shown
'
the advantage' , , doing this. Having
successfully jycathcrcd Iho llnanclal
storm the state anks of Nebraska ought
to find the business of the inuncdlato
future moro profltublo than that of the
recent past.
Tun Travelers' I'roteetiVo association
is agitating an ntnondineiit to the Inter
state enmmerco act permitting the rail
roads to issue tin interchnn'goablo fi,000-
mile book with a larger allowance of
baggage. The railroads seem , however ,
to bi ? doing quite sulllclent to cater to
the patronage of commercial men with
out carrying all their baggage freo. A
movement toward the European practice
of charging every passenger for the
transportation of whatever baggage he
may have would bo a greater relief to
the traveling public in general. There
is no apparent reason why persons with
out baggage should pay for the trans
portation of the baggage of those who
tire a a rule amply alilo to pay for them
selves.
TIIK Hoard of Public Works deserves
some credit for condemning a lot of
worthless brick which a private con
tractor was trying to incorporate into
a sidewalk in the very heart of the city.
But they will have to go further before
very long and proscribe brick entirely
as a material for permanent side walks , at
least in the business center. Hrick has
been tried for those purposes in cities
too numerous to mention , but nowhere
has it given satisfactory results. The
brick sidewalk must HOOII go the way of
the plank sidewalk.
Mil. WKIISTKH ought to bo well satis-
fled ( with the vindication which his im
peached clients secured from a major
ity of the supreme court. But when he
a&ks the republicans of Douglas county
tj ( help him turn down Judge Maxwell
ir order to make tlio vindication of the
impeached cell house jobbers complete
inR have a right to enter a remonstrance.
Republicans in this city and county have
nothing in common with Mr. Webster's
late clients and ' tjipy do not fool compli
mented by Mr. 'Webster's efforts.
A NKGKO town in the Choroko Strip
is by no means the novelty which some
people are trying-to make of it. Ex

resulted in fuillire. It is impossible to
keep the white * out of the community ,
and oven were' they excluded the
negroes would not find themselves solf-
Biillieiont. The latest experiment i
likely to succumb to'- the same old ditll-
culties.
THE man who can give the ways nnd
means committee n. few pointers on the
problem of how to knock the protective
features out of the tariff without decreas
ing the tariff itself will bo received at
"Washington with an ovation. The mem
bers of the committee have discovered
that it is one thing to make valiant
threats against protection and another
to carry the threats into execution.
Tin- ; state republican press scorns to
have become ( suddenly uwnlconcd to the
importance of the campaign now it
progress in Nebraska. The number of
editors who have discovered that Judge
Maxwell should bo renoniinatcd is some
what remarkable. The best judgmen

Silver Creek Tiinps Crop ) : To vote against
Maxwell Iu stalo.convention Is to vote
to keep the heel of the railroads on the people -
plo of this state.
Halhim Herald ( pop ) : The hoodlo gang Is
trying hard to down .lusltco Maxwell , while
Tin : OMAHA. Unit is sliiiL-Ini : hard and tlio
other follows are doing some lull logging
against it.

tiling and will keep olt such dangerous
ground iu the future.
Wallace Star ( rep ) : L. D. liielmrds. who
once llgured as u candidate for governor of
jScbrasku , comes out with : i letter in eri ticism
of Judge Maxwell nml the editor of Tin : Hun.
Tlio fencoifider is still sere over lus defeat
a defeat which might have been prevented
had he mustered courage enough to state
where ho stood on the leading issue ol that
contest.
Pierce Call ( rep. ) : TUB IJnn contained L.
IX Hichards' letter to Hdward Kosewatcr ,
in which he tries to make out that the
Dodge county convention was not of the
"snap"'kind , and also inahesa feeble attempt
to clear ,1. 1C. Frick from thu charge of being
n inilroad attorney , but fails. Mr. Hose-
water replies in the same issue and punc
tures Mr. Hichnrds' argument full of holm.
It is an able vindication of his past record
and should be read by every true repub
lican.
Aurora Sun Worn. ) : The charge that
.luiigo Maxwell lias been plnyjng to the
Land stand in his decisions for the people is
shown lo bo entirely unfair and false by the
liidgo's own words * He utterly refuses to
listen to overtures'to run independent , or to
accept the nomination of any other party
than the republican party. He states that
what ho has received from the hands of tlio
people has boon through that party , and he
will absolutely refuse to betray ft'regardless
of its future course toward himself.
Sidney Telegraph ( rep. ) : Republicans do
not care to take up the Dodge county quar
rel. Attorney Frick bns just as good light
to seek the nomination as Judpo Maxxvell.
No one disputes tins , but because the niaiiin-
ulntors of Dpdgo county politics prefer Frick
to Maxwell it does not follow that the rest
of the stato'inust lay down its preference at
tlio dictates of Uodgo county. If Frick shall
secure the nomination supporters of Max
well ns well , ns of other candidates , will bo
expected to support him , and no doubt will
give a loyal support. But tlio idea that
Judge Maxwell is out of the race because
Dodge county prefers Frick is entirely un
warranted. Republicans of the extreme
western part of thu state prefer Maxwell.
The fact tlm Koiowalur is for him or that
Frick ia said lo boa railroad candidate cuts
no Jiguro whatever. They believe their sup
port of Maxwell to IKS In the best interests
of the parly , and they wear no collar. Hose-
water or otherwise.
Grand Island Independent : Judge Max
well has no moral right to "step aside and
lot republicans unite' ' at this stage of the
game. The light is on. Tlio people of all
parties know it and are n ware thnt it is a
fight in tlio republican ranks between the
railroads and the people. If llio latter win
Nebraska will bo sol id i lied in the republican
ranks ; if the railroads win victory will lodge
ou some oilier shouldors. Judge Maxwell
has come out manfully and declared ho
would not accept any nomination unless it
bo from Iho republican convention. Will lie
surrender now ? ' 'Will lie do it ? " Certainly
not. If somebody is to surrender it is the
hidden railroad power , which through its
agents , Hichards and Hammond of Fremont ,
and its many other agents , hns precipitated
the discord into the republican ranks in order
to subject the people to the will of the rail
roads , l-ol tlio corporation bosses surren
der ; let them call oft their dogs , and let
Frick nnd the "western man" withdraw ,
and lot them all agree to vute for Iho pee
ple's choice , for Judge Maxwoll.
