/••,» Cunningham B. Scott, who dis
'“■’•'igraoes- the district bench in the
;:, . ■; ini v;>, /v-.;
Omaha district. Scott’s reputation
on the district bench has been vile
beyond description, and the most
wretched travesty on justice and
titter disregard of personal rights.
He has jnst added to that reputation
in a manner entirely new. Michael
O’Neill, who had lost two legs while
coupling cars for the Bock Island
company, sued for damages. Judge
Scott heard the case. But he took
it entirely out of the hands of the
jury by giving instructions to return
a verdict for the company. Yet this
man pretends to be a reformer aud
a just man and goes up and down
the state condemning political
abuses and the crimes of political
parties. As a matter of fact, popu
lar sentiment and the scorn of his
fellow men ought to drive him out
of the state.
The result of the mayoralty elec
tion in Omaha was a great victory
for the republicans, and convinced
the most skeptical that Edward
llosewater is “in it,” politically, in
Douglas county. Frank E. Moores
was elected mayor. The opposing
candidate, Mr. Howell, was backed
by the democrats, populists, free
silver republicans and a few dis
gruntled republicans, who con
tinually shout republicanism and
then go and vote for the opposition.
This waB a great victory, and clearly
demonstrates that the Omaha Bee is
a great factor in Nebraska politics,
and the sooner republicans through
out the state comprehend that fact,
and quit venting their spleen upon
its editor, to the detriment of the
party, the sooner Nebraska will
again be numbered among the safe
republican states.
APPOINTS JUDGES AND CLERKS.
The following is the new law
passed by the last session of the
legislature regarding the appoint
ment of the judges and clerks of
election by the county judges:
“House roll No 10, by Olark of Lan
caster, to provide for the appoint
ment of non-partisan election boards
and to amend section 17, chapter 26,
compiled statutes of Nebraska.
“The county judge of each county
(hall, at least one week prior to the
•first Tuesday in November of each
year appoint three judges and two
clerks of election in each election
precinct in the county, to serve for
the term of one year. They shall
each be of good character, approved
integrity, well informed, who can
read, write and speak in the English
language, and have resided in the
election precinct in whioh he is to
serve for one year next preceding
his appointment and be entitled
to vote therein. Said judges and
clerks shall, during their term
of office, act at all general,
special and municipal elections held
in the county, precinct or city of
whioh the voting precinct in whioh
they reside forms a part. Provided,
that the county judge shall appoint
as judges and clerks of eleotion at
least ten days before the election,
three judges and two clerks nomin
ated for such offices in preoinct
primaries.
“The county judge shall elect for
each precinct one judge of election
from the party polling the highest
number of rotes at the last general
eleotion in the precinct and one
judge from the party polling the
third highest number of rotes in the
precinct In cases where there is
one or more parties still to be repre
sented on tiie ticket, he shall appoint
a clerk of election from each of the
two parties not represented on the
election board, polling the highest
number of rotes.
“If there are only twq parties
with tickets on the official ballot
then the party polling the highest
rote shall hare two judges and one
clerk and the other party one judge
and one clerk and in ease of three
parties on the official ballot, he shall
appoint a clerk from each of the two
parties reeeiring the highest number
of rotes. Vacancies on the board
on election day may be filled by tbe
remainder of the board belonging to
the same political party.
“House roll Ha 12, by Clark of
Lancaster, to amend section 7, com
piled statutes of 1805.
“The offices of judges and clerks
of election are remored from the list
of elective offices.”
BATTLING ON THE FRONTIER.
The preliminary fighting in the
Turko-Grecian war has had on
either side a well defined purpose.
When the Greek irregulars dashed
across the frontier to the northeast
of Metsova last week their purpose
was to cut the line of Turkish com
munication between Elassona and
Janina. Elassona is the point in
Macedonia at which the Turkish
armies for the invasion of Greece
were concentrated. Janina is the
capital of Epirus, and under the
treaty of -Berlin was to have been
included in the Greek boundaries.
These irregulars knew the country
well, and their objective point was
to capture Zygos, the narrow moun
tain pass traversed by the main
road between Thessaly and Epirus
or Albania. The Turks understood
the importance of this movement,
and a declaration of war followed,
because the Turkish commander
could not afford to have any forces
friendly to Greece control the im
portant passes between Macedonia
and the right of the Turkish line at
Arta. Controlling the pass of Zygos,
the Greeks would have the western
provinces at their mercy, and would
be in condition to make strong
defense against the Turkish move
ment into Greece on the left of their
line.
The eastern end of the Greek
frontier is more favorable to the
Turks. The Troops concentrated at
Elasscna may move into upper
Thessaly by the mountain road
southwest of Trikhala, or into lower
Thessaly by way of Larissa. If
they can capture the pass of Milou
na, where there has been such des
perate fighting, they trill have one
open door into Greece. If they cap
ture the gorges of Zarkos they may
cut off the Greek divisions from
each other. If they can turn the
right flank of the Greeks they may
move into Greece from the coast
road, but here the Greek fleet will
play an important part, and the fate
of the campaign in Macedonia may
turn on a naval battle fought in the
Gulf of Salonica.
The fighting on Saturday and
Sunday on the Macedonian frontier
was for the possession of Milounn
and other passes. The fight on the
extreme west, or at Prevesa, was for
the control of the gateway to Albania
and Epirus. If the Greeks, while
holding the Turks at bay in Mace
donia, can provoke an uprising in
Epirus and Albania, and in the
Turkish rear in Macedonia, and can
cut off communication by water,
they may seoure such prestige as
will bring about interference in
their behalf. If, on the other hand,
the Turks overwhelm the Greeks at
the passes, and the fighting would
indicate that they propose to make a
tremendous effort'to do that, then,
with superior numbers, they may
drive the Greeks southward, and
may create such a panic as will
cause Greece to accept Turkish
conditions of peace. The probabil
ity is, however, that the Greeks are
as well prepared for war as the
Turks, and that they will make a
stubborn fight on the frontier.—
