for lion. .1. Sterling Morton and the
record he t iimkliii; iw secretary of

Is wonderfully apt In making new
friends by his olHciul act.-, and that it
Is the talk of the politicians of all
part If- there that lion. Julius Sterling
.Morton of Nobrn ka. will certainly he
the next democratic nominee for presi
dent. That would he a proud day for
Nobra-ka and her loyal people on which

ablest pioneers ami statesmen heated
In the chair of the nation's chief, anil
It would be no mean compliment to see
him honored with the democratic nom
ination, even though lie were unsuc
cessful. Nebraska democrats, and
thousands of other political creeds, will
hope to see Mr. Morton make such a
record as will bring about the truth of
the prediction.
Tin- lire of Monthly evening again
demonstrated the fact that there is
something radically wrong with the
management of the water works. Five
minutes, the most valuable In the
work of lighting a lire, being the live
minutes when It is llrst gaining head
way, were absolutely wasted. The lire
men were on hand promptly and, had
water been obtuli -ible, could easily
have saved tho larg part of the prop
erty, over half o tho total loss was
ellected through the burning f Mohan
nn"s barn. And yet if a sttoain had
been procurable as soon as the hose was
laitl Hnhuuuu's burn anil the llfty-two
head of tock therein would never have
been barn-d. It Is decidedly exas
perating to a well-wisher of the city
to see at a critical moment, such as the
one referred to. the llremcn standing
with an einpt.v no.lo pointed at a
variciou- blaze, powerless to tlo aught
leu -ccthe destruction go merrily on.
It must be a nut ire of gratlllcatiou to
ovor.vono who has a fair uuilerstantllng
of tlie needs of the public M'hools to
know that the proposition to Issue ilOll.
IMH) bond-, for the erection of new school
buildings was sanctioned by the votes
of a sulllclont number to carry it. The
II.IMM) school children of this city w 111 be
glad to know that better accommoda
tions arc to ho accorded them, and more
room. The parents of those children
ought t.) rejoice to know that the day of
usefiilluess for ill-vent Hated and poorly
lighted store rooms and school house
cellars us school rooms for joung chil
dren is nearly over. The hoard of ed
ucation may rejoice In seeing Its huj
clear to n better anil moie satisfactory
administration of Its duties, and It is
hoped that It may not forget the Im
portant dut,, when It comes to con
tracting for these buildings, of getting
the best school houses for the least
money. It took the people so long to
make up their minds that tin; two now
buildings proposed were needed that
they will hardly he completed ere It
will be discovered that more are also
needed.
There is roaon to believe that
another big industiy will soon join the
forces that battle for Lincoln's growth
and prosperty. Tho recent visit of
three millionaire manufactures ot oat
meal, as representatives of the wealthy
American Miseult company, to inspect
the advantages Lincoln possesses as a
location foi a cereal mill, was a most
satlsfnctorv one to all concerned. The
gentlemen were shown about tho eitj
by MY. .1. II. McMurtry and Mr. I. M.
Maymontl who are ever alert in efforts
to secure Mich enterprises, anil were so
gratllletl with w nit they saw that they
returned to Lincoln after having once
taken their departure. They were of
fered their choice of several locations.
On Tuesday last Mr. McMurtry was
called to Chicago to confer with thorn
In relation to the project and has not
yet returned. An.vonc who has ever
rellect -tl upon the subject for a single
moment n.u-t know that Lincoln's ad
vantages for the manufacture of cereal
products are not to In surpassed any
where, and should the great cracker
tru-t decide to locate a plant in this
cit it will undoubtedly be of such
I magnitude as woiiiil make it an import
ant factor in the development and pro-
gres of an, elt,. The cracker trust

gentlemen will agico In an elTort to se
cure for thooltj the very best and most
creditable government within their
power and capabilities Their llrst
meeting Tuesday afternoon was entirely,
harmonious and there was not the
slightest friction In their olllclal Inter;
course. They hud decided that they
would take upon their shoulders none
of the sins of the former police admin
istration and would begin business
anew entirely. All of the matured up-'
plications for saloon licenses wt ru
grant m! except two, In which the boiuH
were not regular. None were denied
because of fornierlnfractiousof tlielawi
as Honor dealers hat) had more or leis
reason therefore to believe that In
fractious of the law were not entirely!
distasteful to the authorities. TlnJ
new hoard announces its determination:
to give tlie saloonkeepers every protect
tlou to which their license, entitle
them In the exclusive sale of liquor an
a beverage, and la return will Insist on
their observing the law. (Jiving thoj
saloonkeepers this protection Involves
tho prohibition of indiscriminate soll-J
lug tif liquor as a beverage in drug,
stores and the sale of Honor in the
brothels. The board has been apprised

Kx-Water Commissioner Mullock in
authority for tho statement that It re
quires six minutes after tho receipt of
an alarm at tho engine house before
lire pressure is attained. If this be
true, It is certainly to lw deplored and
the fact should bo deserving of Im
mediate and remedial attention. It Is
probublj duo to a desire to economize
in the matter of fuel. It is to he hoped
that when tho new stand-pipe is
brought into service (lie pressure may
be available ut ull times.
and it is reasonable to presume that tho
suueeess of the same must have been
what has attracted tlie attention of the
authorities of the trust to the city as
an advantageous locality.

Mayor Weir anil Messrs. V. W. Mrown
and A. 1). Murr an Independent, a
democrat, and a republican, just as it
was during the past two years. There
is every prospect, however, that these
able reforms In tho social regulations
that will create quite a stir lu certain
circles, and the police have been ap
prised of its wishes in the matter.
The disgraceful condition lu which
most of tlie olllclal returns of the late
city election came in suggests the idea
tlmt the utmost ignorance prevails re
garding the requirements of the laws
governing elections. There Is no watv
by vvhluhlui'oinputoiit men can be kept
oil the election boards, because compe
tent men are seldom available, having
other duties to perform, but City clerk
Howeii might prevent much of the con
fusion that usually ensues by sending
out with the poll books each time min
ute Instructions as to the proper
method of sealing and sending in the
returns.
