What dots the Central Labor Union
think of the Sirawat r municipal plat
form against the right of American
citizens to discuss political questions in
its executive sessions? What do the
Jesuits, the Hibernians, the Young
Men's Institute, think of It? And what
about the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners holding executive ses
sions to settle matter that are of po
litical significance In this community?
And what about the executive meet
ings which the Municipal League held
last year, when men were endorsed for
office?
IT FAILED TO CONNECT.
Rosewater arranged the onslaught
on Treasurer Uolln. The Ike was to
charge a great defalcation and suicide
of the treasurer: would demand that
the council Immediately declare the
office vacant, and then the mayor should
appoint his man Swobe, who would
oertalnly be conflrmod before the trie
could be discovered. But, Instead of
suiciding, Mr. Ik I In had only gone to
a summor resort, and his sudden re
turn to the city spoiled a part of the
program. But Swobe took charge of
the cftloe on a pretense of right to do
so because he was on Uolln's bond. He
took charge of the money In the office,
and assumed full control, and so the
office has been running.
Still, the Bet demanded of tbo coun
ell the removal of Itolln without Inves
tigation and without disclosing tbo
real object of such great baste, but In
timated that the bondsmen were get
ting undue advantage of tho city by
having charge of the office. Suddenly
Bolln resigns and Bet Swobe is nomi
nated the same day by the mayor,
And because the council did not, at a
moment's notice, confirm him, the Bee
demands that thov should all bo im
peached, accusing them of bolng boo-
dleraand all sorts of vile characters
too numerous for repetition, but which
charges, being In stereotype form at
the Bee office, are thrown in on every
occasion when tbo Jkt desires to vilify
any person or persons. But the Bee
was required to wait only forty-eight
hours, when the council rejected Bet
Swobe as being an improper person to
handle the city's cash.
The rosewater plan did not work.
It may be that no rosewater tool
oould be confirmed by the council. But
any man who is on Mr. Bolln's bond
should not be permitted to succeed Mr.
Bolln, If for no other reason than for
the Interest he would have against the
Interest of the city In favor of the
bondsmen.
The Iks was exceedingly anxious to
sacrifice the interests of the city In
order to gain the prostlge of the city
treasurer in favor of rosewater's plans
in the coming campaign.
Can't any one see that with a man
like Swobe in the office, and a dictator
like rosewa'er to turn the crank, that
the affairs in the office might be juggled
so as to mske it appear that the short
age -could not be charged to Bolln's
present bondsmen? And can not any
one gee that the crank would turn in
such a manrer as to grind out of the
p cke of these bondmen, including
Bondsman Swobe, thousands of dollars
t carry on the rosewater plan of cam
paign this fall?
Every man will learn that the time
must come when he cannot comply with
the commands of rosewater That time
came in the case of Henry Bolln, and
as soon as the time arrived, the poleon-
ous sting c f the insect was turned loose,
In exaggerated form, just as though the
influences exerted by the chief of the
t'lisecf was not the mafn cause of Henry
Bolln's trouble.
Henry Bolln has been for years a
supporter of rosewater and the Iks In
politic acd projects; notwithstanding
this, when his trouble came, and the
publication of the truth would have
been bad enough, and proper; yet, be
cause Henry Bolln had not yielded to
the demands of the viper, to tho verge
of ruin, and had in the last few months
refused to accede to blackmail com
mands, the insect heaped torrents of lies
against him without limit.
And so it is with all, a man must stay
with the Bee till death to avoid its
sting.

HOW TO REFORM.
To secure gool municipal and county
government In Omaha and Douglas
county the people must continue to elect
men to publio office whom the daily
newspapers will antagonize, and partic
ularly tho Omaha Bee. Any number of
Instances may be cited right here at
chance where Rosewater has shielded
corrupt men in publio place so long as
they were use'ul to him.
In the city council Fred Behra was
an example. B;hm was always In favor
of placing the city advertising in the
Omaha Bee.
In the board of county commissioners
the case of 'Honest" Dick O'Keeffe is
In point, and it is notorious that
O'Keeffe voted to print the tax-list in
the Bit at two or throe prices more
than what any other paper would
charge.
It will be remembered that Rose-
water testified in a contempt case be
fore Judge Scott that a considerable
portion of his time was taken up In se
curing jobs for men, and those ao
qualnted with the facts know that there

RATTLED.
We are really afraid the managers
of the reform movement have lott tbelr
heads.
Thick of their allowing their mayor
te send in the name of John Rush for
the office of city treasurer.
They knew John wouldn't be con
firmed! They knew more than that: they
knew that John Rush had been guilty
of advancing money to employes, with
out a warrant, when he was city treas
urer the very thing for which Henry
Bolln has been so unmercifully as
sailed. Then why was John Rush picked on
to succeed Henry Bolln? Because he
is an Irish Romanist ai-d Henry Bolln
is a German, and some ssy an A. P. A.
Wherein would the city be benefited
by ousting a Protestant German, if an
Irish Romanist is to be placed in hi
shoe , particularly one who has been
guilty, and would be guilty again, of
like offense, if we are to accept his pub
lished Ir.terview In trip lift, nf .Tuna
as his real opinion?
At the present time no one knows
where John Rush stands, but it is gen'
erally conceded tbat he is with Rose'
water. It is certain he is not a Repub
lican, for last year, when he showed up
at the Republican primaries, his vote
was challenged, and he refused to swear
that he voted for a majority of the Re
publican nominees at the previous elee
tion, and even went so far as to violate
the election law.
More than three years ago Mayor
Bemls refused to fend John Rush's
name before the city council because
as he said, the council would not con'
firm him. To-day, however, in order
to help Mr. Rosewater's citizens' move
ment, he sent in the name of John
Rush as city treasurer. The council
promptly refused to confirm him. It is
now proper for Bemls to send in the
name of one of the Meyers, of G. W.
L'nlnger, of Thomas kllpatrick, of
Wm. Kierstead, of T. W. Blackburn,
Anay vviggins, sein tjole, or some
other bosom friend of E. Rosewater,
who never falls to jump when Rosey
pulls the string.
THE ISH CASE AGAIN.
The newspapers ave again tried
James C. Ish and his wife and fourd
them guilty of murder in the first de
gree, although neither Ish nor his wife
the only parties who know what hap
pened prior to the shooting of Chappel
have so far sworn to a thing.
This paper is not an apologist for
either Jimmle Ish or his wife, but it
believes in fair play and does not ap"
prove of prejudicing the public mind,
which is igDorant of the facts, against
a man and woman simply because they
happened to be w althy, and at the same
time closefisted.
The home of Jimmle Ish was his cas

Henry Bolln is not a tool of Rosewa- Tun or his wife culltv until thev have
ter s. if he had been, there would be
no demand for his removal, and there
would have been no pressing need for a
Rosewater man like Tom Swobe to take
bad an opportunity of being heard in
their own behalf. It is safe to say the
truth ha not yet been told and, what
is more, may never be told but until
his place after his bondsmen had de-1 they go upon the stand and testify, it
is but just that they bj treated as inno
cent. The law in this country is that
a person is innocent until he is proven
guilty. This may not be true in Jimmie
Ish's case, because he has money, and
for the further reason that he always
opposed Rosey's pet Chief Seavey.
Those things may make him him guilty.
Let a jury try Jimmle Ish and his
wife, and if they are found guilty, they
will have to suffer the penalty; but
try them outside the court on news
paper evidence particularly such evi-
clared their willingness to allow Bolln
to serve out his term.
In this connection, now that Mr.
Swobe has become a public character,
the people will want him to explain
certain acts of omissions of the late
grand jury, which were so severely
censured by the lonorable judge of the
district court. Swobe's preferment at
this time by the dictator goes to con
firm the report that he was a useful
man to Rosewater during tha last state
campaign, when some one betrayed the
TAXATION OF ALL PROPERTY.
There can be no doubt in any rational,
thinking man's mind as to the increas
ing eentiment favorable to the taxation
of all property not actually the prop-
f rty of the government or some of its
political subdivisions, and in no city
has that sentiment had a more marked
Impetus than In Chicago and, for
tbat matter, Cook county.
The statement published some months
ago by the Herald, then under the
management of James W. Scott, now
deceased, gave to our people a fairly
clear insight into the fabulous holding
which escaped taxation under various
pleas, even while a large and valuable
portion of it was used for other than
charitable or religious purposes.
Following that sentiment came an
other, from a source equally as reliable,
which showed that the bankers, repre
sentlcg billions of dollars of accumu'
lated wealth, paid but a meagre pit
tance into the publio treasury in the
shape of taxes. Yet, there are millions
of dollars collected annually from some
source for the purpose o' carrying on
the city, county, state and national
government. If the wealthy classes,
represented by the bankers, pay but
an infinitesimal part, and there are
millions of dollars' worth of untaxed
property in the city and county, the
burden must fall on some men who can
ill afford to meet their share of, the ex
pense incurred in carrying out our
present system of government. Atd
who are those men? They are the
home owners, who are as often unem'
ployed as engaged in their chosen oc-
cupation; yet, whobeir the burden of
taxation.
A statement in our possession shows
tbat the Methodist Church block, at the
corner of Washington and Clark streets,
Is valued at $150,000. It is occupied by
business bouses, In which commercial
pursuits are carried on; yet, it is un
taxed. The same is true of the Chicago
Athenseum, at Wabash and Van Baren,
valued at $100,000; of the Chicago Club,
at Van Buren and Michigan, valued at
$100,000, and of the Y. M. C. A., at
Arcade and La Salle, valued at $200,000.
in addition to these valuable untaxed
holdings, we find the Northwestern
University has, in Cook county,$557,000,
and that the Roman Catholic bishop
has, also in Cook county, $17,728,500
worth of untaxed property. If these
vast holdings were taxed at the same
rate as John Jones' little cottage, on
the basis of a fair valuation, John could
have a few dollars to buy the baby a
dress or the wife a pair of shoes. But
under the present system, every John
Jones in Cook county is paying more
than his share of taxes, and the sooner
they realize it the better' it will be for
them. Let us have equality in taxa
tion; let us Insist on every foot of land
being taxed, and every dollar's worth
of personal property being returned by
the assessor. What say you?
We would advise that in the spring
election the Americans be careful in
considering men for office. Do not con
sider their word and promises alone as !
sufficient recommendation, but go
over a part of their past history, and if
it be even slightly colored with dis
credit, bet men men on a back shelf.
No matter how much they may howl
about having the whole vote in their
"vest-pocket," or how much they may
roar. If this principle be followed, the
voters will assist to carry it out. It Is
better to vote for an honest man and
lose than to cast your billot for a ques
tionable candidate and win.
A HEROINE.
Something like three ytars ago the
report was telegraphed over the coun
try that three traitors to this Govern
ment had torn down the Star and
Stripes which floated above a district
school near Crawfordsvllle, Ind., and
that the teacher, a young lady, had
purchased another flag, run it up, and
would def nd it against allcomers, even
goicg lo the extent of keeping a Win
chester rifle at hand ready to 6hoot any
miscreant who dared attempt to molest
it. Tne publishers of The American
read of her brave determination to de
fend her country's flag; they raised a
fund, purchased a beautiful little watch,
bad an appropriate inscription en
graved upon it, and sent it to that
teacher as a slight token of the regard
the friends of the American public
schools and our country's flag had for
one who dared to defend either or both
by force of arms and with powder and
ball. That young lady was Mis Emma
Conner. She was a heroine. Her name
should live In history, and a monument
should be erected In District No. 42 to
commemorate her act.
Miss Conner taught there until a few
months ago. That flag floated with
all its proud beauty, but no dastard's
hand dared to pull it from its place.
But the work and the watching proved
t o much for her frail constitution, and
to-day she is a resident of Chicago,
seeking rest and seclusion, in the hope
3f, ere long, resuming her position in
the school-room.
God has made many true, patriotic,
noble women, but He never made one
whose heart overflowed with greater
love for our country's flag and all our
national institutions than Emma Con
ner. We hope she may speedily regain
her health and again resume her work,
the greatest which God has eiven
woman to do aside from fulfilling the
office of wife and mother.
IT is strange no one has before
thought of publishing such a com
pendium of A. P. A. literature as is to

lication, and contains an ocean of matter
that will appeal strongly to everv

mass of vim, vigor and vitriol, and
suited to the taste of everv genuine
American citizen. Particulars will be
found in the advertisement in this
paper, and those who are unable to buy

their lodge men sell it, or else send
