ACCORDING to the senate oiilcndtir one
Tuesday begins where the hiHt Tuesday
loft ofT.
IP YOU want to oinvort the county
§ . Jail Into an assignation house , you will ,
olcourso , vote for Genrgo Bonnott.
Mil. Jni-TKiisoN UEDFOKD la n contlo-
man , but that does not prevent him from
being the bond of the Omaha coal deal
ers' combine.
MOSHKK bus debauched legislatures ,
tampered with grand juries , scandalized
a county jull and thrown n cloud of
suspicion upon federal court officials.
Every place ho occupies must soon bo
disinfected.
IP KVKIIY honest man in Omaha does
his duty as a citizen regardless of poli
tics anil political parties next Tuesday ,
Mayor JBemis will carry every one of
the eighty-eight voting precincts by a
safe majority. Ho is the honest voter's
preferred candidate.
IP A FEW more of the great trusts go
Into the hands of receivers tha public
may learn something of their inside
workings. The report of the receiver
of the Cordage trust gives a groat'doal of
such information. Receivers' reports
often supply very Interesting reading
matter.
COLONEL SIIOEMAKEII is managing
Jeff Bedford's campaign in his own
inimitable style. Shoemaker is staking
all his time , talents , bets and epithets
oil Bedford. Ho has nothing to lose by
it and everything to gain , for if Bedford
becomes mayor , Shoemaker becomes
city attorney.
SALARIES are to bo restoroa upon the
Milwaukee road to the figures at which
they wore before the recent 10 per cent
out. But this one road is as yet an ex
ception to the general rule. Employes
of western railroads need not expect an
increase of salary until the management
is forced to take such action.
THE peonlo of Omaha want men in the
council who will refuse special favors
from corporations whoso interests maybe
bo affected by action of the council. Wo
want men in the council who will de
cline to accept passes from the rail
roads , free water from the woter com
pany , free gas or free electric light.
NOW THAT Judge Maxwell has pub
licly declared in favor of the election of
Judge Holcomb the railroad organs and
shyster lawyers have discovered that
Maxwell is an old imbecile and has no
more knowledge of law than a pig has
of the Chinese language. It 4s a real
wonder that Maxwell has not been ad
vertised as having become insano.
THE city has no right to appropriate
any part of the waterworks plant with
out taking all that "belongs to it as a
necessary part of a g&ing concern. Dr.
Miller knows this as well as the next
person. To talk about purchasing the
present system of pipes and mains with
out the works at Florence is the veriest
boab. Vote down the bond proposition.
TAXPAXEUS must not forgot for ono
moment between now and election that
Mayor Bemis has boon safe , honest and
olllclent. Ho has stood with the people
who pay the taxes from the first , and
has interposed his vote a score of times
in the lost two years to shut off raids
upon the treasury. A thoroughly safe
man is a power for good in the mayor's
chair.
Six justices of the poaca are to bo
elected next Tuesday. An array of
talent Is olTorod by the three parties and
by petitions , which ought to enable
voters to pick out a halftlozon first-class
men for this oillco. Discard party and
select only honest men. Ho en your
guard for cost-sharks. Vote only for
men who have demonstrated their fitness
for the people's court.
Will any bclf-rcspectiny American citi
zen place his vote at the disposal of any
railroad , express , teleyruph or street rail
way company or any other corporation that
carries him on ita pay roll ? lo < x a man

I.ojlclnfj nt the mutter from n nuroly busl-
Tins * standpoint the state of Nebraska can
not nfTora-to elect Judge Holcomb to tha
supreme bench , Lincoln U.illy Xotrs.
With the nbovo for a text the Lincoln
paper nrguoj , in roii'ining good faith ,
that nothing but the election of the re
publican nominee will restore confidence )
In Nebraska and bring back the pros
perity which , as it drums , was once en
joyed in the stato. Supporting Us propo-
nition the Lincoln editor argues in the
following Ktrnlni "Nebraska Is just
emerging from a period of peculiarly
tryingjlimnclal stringency Public im
provements In every olty in the state
have boon paralyzed by the refusal of
cmstorn capitalists to Invest In municipal
bonds. Railroad development has >
ceased. The election "of a populist to
the supreme bench would beyond ques
tion ilolay the reappearance of confi
dence In Nebraska investments. "
Throwing aside all other aspects of
the political situation in Nebraska , and
without any discussion -of the relative
merits of the several candidatoM for the
supreme bunch , a very few brlof sen
tences will sufllco to show the utter
spccloiiHiioss of the arguments advanced
with so much evidence of candor and
sincerity by the Lincoln editor.
In the first place the financial string
ency in Nebraska has been greatly over
estimated. It is true that business has
boon unusually quiet , that real estate
investments have been loss eagerly
sought for , and that railroad develop
ment has practically ceased. But It is
equally true that those conditions have
prevailed since 1SS8 , after the close of
the unprecedented and unaccountable
craze for speculation which swept over
the entire country in 1887. Railroad
development will necessarily bo slow for
many years , not because the capitalists
of the country are alarmed at the pros
pects of advorbo legislation , but because
development has boon in advance of
necessity. Whou the demand for in
creased railway facilities presents itself
railroad building will bo resumed , oven
if every oillco in the stato. from chief
justice of the supreme court down to .tho
road supervisor in the most sparsely
settled nrooinot Is filled with a populist.
The laws which protect the investor
in Nebraska municipal securities have
boon on the statute books for years.
Their tconstitutionality has boon thor
oughly established. They make invest
ments in municipal securities thoroughly
secure. The state practically guaran
tees the payment of the principal and
interest. With confidence restored in
money circles of 'tho east , the municipal
bonds of Omaha , Lincoln , and in fact
every city in the state will command
ready bale at a premium. The possi
bility of hostile legislation , even from
the populists , is too remote to bo taken
into serious consideration.
If the business interests of Nebraska
are looking to the supreme court for
protection against danger , they will do
well to consider the issue involved in
the present campaign in its true light.
The question at issue is not whether the
interests of-possible ' eastern investors
shall bo protected Irotri purely imagin
ary dangers , but whether the rights and
interests of the people of Nebraska
shall be sacrificed to the demands of
corporate power. The issue does not
involve danger a"broad , but at homo.
The danger does not alone threaten tbo
business-interests , but it menaces the
interests of tb workinginan and the
farmer.
In another week the men of Nebraska
will ba called upon to say by their bal
lots whether the supreme court shall bo
delivered into the bands of the corpora
tions , or whether at least ono safeguard
shall bo thrown around the rights of the
people. Specious arguments over imag
inary dangers should not bo permitted
to obscure the real issue.
A OHAKCE VOlt THE MONIWK DOCTRINE.
'Washington dispatches indicate that
tbo government is preparing to take
action looking to a' practical enforce
ment of the Monroe doctrine in connec
tion with the Brazilian situation. Last ,
Saturday'tho commander of the cruiser
New York was ordered by tbo secretary
of the navy to hold his vessel in readi
ness to sail for Bio within twenty-four
hours. This order is said to have
caused some surprise in naval circles ,
owing to the fact that it was not generally
supposed that the condition of affairs in
Brazil had reached a crisis where
unusual activity on the part of
this government was either necessary or
advisable. Inquiry at the Navy depart
ment disclosed the fact that the admin
istration felt called upon to give atten
tion to the rumors as to the purpose of
certain foreign countries to take a hand
in the settlement of the Brazilian ililll-
cultles , and that if emergencies required
it , it would bo necessary to a successful
demonstration of the government's
wishes with respect to nonintervention
that the country bo represented by an
additional number of ships at Rio.
A prominent olllclal at Washington is
quoted as saying that It could safely bo
assumed that the president would not
tolerate any foreign intervention or in
terference in Brazil at this time. With
out undertaking to say how far the
president would go In the matter , ho
ventured the opinion that if emergencies
required tbo president would not heal-
late to vigorously declare that the
United States will not Kanotion an arbi
tration by European powers of South
A'moricun dilJloultios. It IB thought
that the administration bus received
advices from Brazil that reports of pro
posed intervention were well founded
and it Is said that thuro have recently
been r. number of conferences between
the secretary of state and the secretary
of the navy on Brazilian attaint. It Is
also understood that the information re
ceived by the government shows that'
the situation at Rio Is raoro sorloun than
has been supposed , and hence that there
is an urgent demand for a morn vigor
ous policy on the part of this govern
ment. ,
The report that European interven
tion in the affair * of Brazil is con
template : ! cannot bo regarded as in
credible. England and Germany have
very oxtonslvo interest * in that ooun
try and tholr influence- '
influenceIs'proportion
ately great there. It would bo only
natural for those European countries to
make Boino effort to bring the dllllcul-
llcs in Brazil to a settlement so that
their Interests should bo relieved from
the peril that now confronts them , and
it le quite possible also that they may
have been solicited to take Rome action
looking to this result. So long as
any intervention they might propose
was not. strictly political In Its nature
and did Jiot Involve a change in the
character of the government it Is ques
tionable whether the Unltod States
would have any right to object. The
Monroe dootrlno applies only to inter
ference by European powers with the po
litical affairs of thoindepondont countries
of this hemisphere with a view to Insti
tuting European political systems hero.
Thus any attempt on the part of Eng
land , Germany or other European
power to restore the empire In Brazil
would antagonize the dootrlno and jus
tify a vigorous resistance on the part of
the United States , but an iiitorvonllon
that simply proposed to put a.stop to the
revolution without interfering with the
republican system of government would
hardly callnipon this government to do
more than see that the Interests and
rights of the United States were properly -
orly protected. It la quite probable that
this is all the administration contem
plates doing.

The senate bill repealing tbo-silver
purchase clause of the act of 181)0 ) has
gone to the house. As was to have boon
expected , the silver men in the latter
body inter bscil objections to its imme
diate consideration , but it will 'come up
today and there umlonbtodly will bo a
vigorous ollort urndo by the friends of
the measure to get a vote on it with the
least possible delay. The silver men
will probably bo allowed to do some
talking against the measure , but it is
safe to say that no merely obstructive
or dilatory1 tactics will bo tolerated.
If this course is pursued , and
It is manifestly the proper one ,
since there is really nothing
more of any consequence to bo said on
the subject , the housfTought to rcaclf a
vole during the present week and the
bill become a law within the next ten'
davs.
The silver men in the senate met de
feat gamely , going down protesting as
vigorously and as vehemently as at any
time that the discontinuance of silver
purchases would result in widespread
disaster to the pooplo. Some of them
wore very bitter and there was a good
deal of severe personal "roasting" in
dulged in by the silver advocates. It is
noteworthy that while most of them
professed to regard repeal as the
doom of silver , others took
a loss gloomy view of the
matter , Senator Jones of Nevada , for
instance , declaring that it was only the
commencement of the fight and that the
friends of silver would go to the Amsri-
can people "and BOB to it that every
man , woman and child in the country
understands fully the moaning of what
wo intend to do next. " The contest
thus brought to an end in the senate is
certain to bo long memorable as ono of
the most remarkable in legislative bis- ;
tory. Ho\vover much one may condemn
tbo course and tactics of the minority
and no fair-minded man who under
stands the importance of maintain
ing tbo underlying principle of repre
sentative government can do otherwise
there will bo some admiration-
fi > r the sturdy fighting qualities and the
abundant resources of the silver men.
Unquestionably tbo cause of silver was
never tnoro ably defended $ han by the
leaders of that cause in the senate and
they exhausted the subject from their
point of view.
It is interesting to note in regard to
the vote in the senate , in order to fix
tbo responsibility of the two parties in
connection with this legislation , that of
the forty-three votes given for repeal
twenty-three were cast by republicans ;
while of the thirty-two votes against
ropeul the democrats and populists
cast twenty-two. A majority of the
democrats In the senate were on the dido
of rop'oal , but they could not have carried
the measure through without republican
assistance. It is only fair to say that
the policy of the administration , so far
as silver is concerned , could not have
succeeded without the republicans , and
thib is admitted by democratic organs
which are.not much in the Juibit of conceding -
coding anything to republicans. Ono of
those organs recently said : "Tho atti
tude of the republicans in congress dur
ing this long controversy lias been such
as to merit the warmest praise. They
sustained the democratic loader in the
senate in his 'test of endurance , ' they
supported the democratic president
against the opposition of fully half
of lils own party , and , though
in a minority of that body , they will
furnish the majority of the votes that
will carry repeal. In short , the record
of the republican party throughout this
controversy is ono that it may wall bo
proud of , " The republicans in congress ,
with a few exceptions , have boon faith
ful to tbo sound money principles of
tholr party and that faot will not bo lost
sight of by the intelligent people of the
country. If there is any partisan advantage -
vantage to bo gained from tbo latest Hil-
ver legislation it is the republican
party that ought to have it.

Dr. Miller's plea for the $1,500,000
bond proposition is misleading. The
dnctor talks about canal when ho knows
that not ono dollar of the proceeds of
the bends can bo legally used for build
ing a canal. Ho talks of the high character -
actor of the water commission
and tells us tbo next council can bo de
pended upon not to change the. commis
sion. What are they going to do about
Mr. Herman Kountzo , whose name is
l > elng iibed as a decoy for gulliblq. busl-
ness men ? Mr. Kountzo posltlvolydo-
cllnos to uorvo on the com
mission and is outspoken against
trusting the bond scheme as
it Is now submitted. The doctor says
wo cannot buy out the waterworks plant
for $1,500,000 , and talics of substituting
a waterworks plant as part of
the canal. Nobody pro ends that
the waterworks could bo bought
for 81,500,000 unless the four million
dollar mortgage by which the works
are now encumbered Is assumed by the
city. That would bo a great scheme
wouldn't it ? But supp'eo wo uo at-
tempt to got a wolior supply through the
Platte canal , Where is the money to
como from ? Tito , ttjmal and Iho plant to

Attorney Gonqrinl Olnoy has Issued
peremptory ordbrd for the removal ot
Bankwreckor fttbshor to the Sioux Falls
penitentiary , where bo will bo placed on
a footing with other criminals con
victed of felony. This order
should have been promulgated
long ago. The Moshor trial and
farcical commitment have been a stench
in the nostrils of the people of this com
munity. The action of tno United States
judge permitting this forger , robber
and embezzler to defeat the ends of
justice by sentencing him for the most
trivial o'f the thirty counts * of the
indictments hanging over him has caused
profound Indignation and resentment.
Everybody conversant with this trav
esty on justice bollovoa that there Is
something wrong some where , and that
belief has been confirmed by the jail
scandals In which ShorllT Bunnott is
implicated. Attorney General Olnoy
very correctly takes In the situation
when ho declares in his lottcr to tbo
district attorney that the recent ex
posure of Moshur's performances in and
out of jnll rotleot very seriously upon
the Dopnrtmcnt of Justice.
District Attorney Baker notf proposes
to investigate whether the reports about
Moshor'u excursions to road houses and
illicit intercourse with women since the
sentence was imposed are truo. Of
course Moshor will deny that anything
improper has been done , and so will
Sheriff Bennett. Moshor and Bennett
have had the audacity to give it out that
THE BEE has ruined the reputation of a
respectable ) girl , and that she issick unto
death because her name has been linked
with that of a rambunctious convict.
Do respectable women live in assigna
tion houses ? Do they associate with
keepers and inmates of such resorts ?
This is tbo reputation of this much in
jured norson , whoso name was only pub
lished to nail the falsehoods and brazen
denials that have emanated from the
sheriff's office and county jail. Lot Mr.
Baker proceed with his investigation
by all moans. Ho'will find a pretty rotten -
ton state of affairs that cannot be con
doned or explained away.

tribution , however , ' filtered through the

THE handful effects of perverting tele
graphic reports of news items could not
bo better illustrated than in connection
with the recent lludiger shooting affray
at South Omaha. That event has been
chronicled throughout the east by corre
spondents who look more to their
remuneration than to accuracy in tholr
work , as "u scandal in high life" and as
involving parties ' 'well known in soci
ety. " Wo must confess that scandals in
high life are frequent enough without
having more created to order to feed
the cravings for sensationalism. Omaha
society cannot feel llattorod at this
latest attempt to advertise its attrac
tions throughout the country.
THE death of the Canadian premier
and the resignations of the moinbffrs of
the Austrian cabinet upsets the minis
terial arrangements in two great coun
tries ntonco. There is , however , this
difference , that the change In tbo com
position of the Canadian ministry will
not ) affect' its political complexion ,
while the Austrian cabinet goes out be
cause it has been beaten in its proposals
for suffrage reform. In filling those
places with men who arc in accord with
popular fioutlmont upon the various
loading questions of the day wo shall
have renewed evidence of
the ever-in
creasing triumph of democratic forms of
government.
THAT special telegram from Washing
ton purporting to announce the order ol
the attorney general to have Moshor de
ported to the penitentiary was another
stroke of enterprise for which our con
temporary excels. While the facts pur
porting to bo wired from Washington
are substantially correct , the dispatch
was fabricated in Omaha from the lottoi
which District Attorney Baker received
exclusively from the department.

There is not so much interest In the pending
ing election in Now York as republicans
have expected. Except in Urooklyn the reg.
istration In most of the cities Is Unlit , par
ticularly in the interior. It seems probable
now thatMaynard , Undemocratic candidate
for the court of appeals , will bo beaten ,
oven if tuo remainder of the democratic
state ticket should bo elected. In Ohio tbo
outlook for the republicans was never more
promising. In Massachusetts tbo election of
Grccnhalga for governor and the rest of the
republican ticket by a largo plurality is ex
pected. In Iowa the republicans are hopb-
ful , despite tbo unusual effort of third party
prohibitionists to help tbo democrats.

If yea , would It not bo better to resort flrs

Hooky Mountain Now * : Garter Harrison
lly deserved such n tr.iRlo fnto. Ho wiw n
nan of Konorous Impulse , Rrcat ability and
rare administrative c-npadty. Ho possessed
nmlltkn that inado him exceedingly popular
with the masses and ranked him among the
best mayors that Chicago ever had.

san methods , ho was frank , tjcticrons. cor
dial mid nurccMblo In Ills personality , and
tnli iwitlo him a favorite with these with
whom ho caino in contact. Tlioio iuatities
peculiarly adapted him to n.cot people from
all parts of the world attending the fair.
St. I'aul 1'tonccr Press : A much bettor
man than Carter Harrison could have
been better sp.trca from the roster
of the public life ot Chicago. Ho
formed a sort of necessary link between its
dimpcrous and Its conservative classes and
will bo remembered for many years ns n
masterful force In the management of Its
unruly elements.
Chlcairo Record : Physically strong , with
all his C > 3 years , having n robust manner nnd
Hashing eyes , feeding on opposition and re
freshed by toll , ho waa mlRbty U * n political
canvass or In any trying tasic of n similar
nature. Throughout the exposition period
the Important social and civic mules which
fell to him Invariably found him ready to
discharge thorn , apparently unloving them
to the full.
Philadelphia Times : Carter Harrison ,
.vlth nil his charlatanry , was n man of real
strength and very considerable attainments ,
with a certain picUircsqiio dnrlnp that was
attractive lo the multitude. His worst
fault ns a public man was the encouragement
he jjavo to these who chafed under the re
straints of law , and It Is a tragic sequel to
his stormy career that ho Hhould himself
fall bv a murderer's bullet.
Chicago 1'ost : It Is not nn easy task nt
this time to estimate the probable duration
of Carter Harrison's fame
or brloflv to ana
lyze a character as complex as his. Hut
when time shall make n blend of his llfo h < ?
will bo remembered , no doubt , chlolly for h.
extraordinary popularity In the community
of which ho was n member , and for the loy
alty to Chicaco that found expression in
every publiu utterance ot his , no matter
what the occasion.
Cincinaati Commercial : Mr. Harrison
was , however , much more than a local
statesman , politician , lawyer , Journalist and
business man. Ho was a loverof his homo
nnd of all the ties of homo. Ills domestic
life , hnppy and ideally peaceful , was In sharp
contrast with his perturbed public career.
The contrast emphasised his virtues us a
father and lover , and the shocking ending of
his life will bring grief lo all admirers of n
character such as was his a character In
every way typical of the true American of
today , n man of power in whatever position
of life circumstances may thrust htm , civic
or commercial. Jn the passing of Carter H.
Harrison , Chicago has cause for grief.
Now York Tribune : Ills had been n long
career , crowded with activities and energies.
Ho had made himself , both as n public olll-
cial and ns an Individual personality , ono oi
the foremost men of the eager , resolute ,
aspiring west. He was imbued with the as
sertive , determined , conquering spirit of
Chicago in every emotion , in every impulse.
Ho cannot be considered prematurely a vic
tim of misfortune , since ho had boon the
most conspicuous figure of Chicago through
all the period of her superb and memorable
festival. The man who had been mavor of
so famous a city when the nations of the
world were her guests , had occupied a largo
place in the vision of the peonies of the
earth , n place in which lie rejoiced and ex
ulted.

go now before the service begins , so as not to dis
turb the rest of the congregation. Firstly , we will
call your attention to the fact that we're selling
the best overcoat in the city for $10. Then there
is one for $15 that but few can sell lor $20 and
make a profit at all. The prices gradually rise
from $15 up to $35. But when you pay $20 or
more for an overcoat you get something that
tailors can't beat either for fit , finish , fabric or
fashion. The boys are also provided for.
