commissioners for Omaha by Governor 1oynter is a long ways from approaching tho referendum in politics It is nlso u near approach to that de spised MoKiuloy imperialism Tho governor was not elected to

carry ou n show of resistance in the hope of influencing legislation in congress They depend on tho Filipinos iu this country to accomplish that which thoy are uuable to do and were it not for tho

Such a movement will undoubtedly havo tho olToct of building up mm kots on tho western coast that will In many respects provo formidable rlvnls of tho Atlantic ports but at the same tlmo this will bo

do not desiro more freedom in the conduct of tholr business than tho law accords but if ono should desiro to go boyoud such limits it may bo de pended upon that Judgo Robertson if olected will uso his

as woll as their opponents nnd will render his decisions with fairness to one and nil His will bo tho kiud of an administra tion that all should desiro Tho uomiuatiou of W M Robertson by tho republican city convention as candidate for mayor is dourly n caso of tho ollico seeking tho man as contrary to tho usual rule of tho mau seeking tho tho ollico Mr Robertson did uot want tho nomination and absolutely rolused to run uutil it was represented to him that it was his duty as a ropublican to take it If Mr Robertson is any ouo thing more than another that one thing is his loyalty to tho republican party nnd principles nnd whon ho be came convinced that ho would bo serv ing his party in a critical time ho sac rificed his own inclinations nud con sented to nccept the nomination Ho did it however upon the express condi tion that ho would go ou the ticket as a republican aud not us tho candidate of tho Good Government club tho Anti Saloon league or any other clique or faction in tho party and his utterances in accepting tho nomination contain no equivocation on that point As ho now stands ou tho ticket ho is ontitled to tho loyul support of every republican in tho city aud if ho receives tho votes to which ho is untitled ho will bo tho next mayor of Norfolk Aud no republican ueed havo any fear of tho kind of nn administration ho will give us which to quoto his own words will bo fair honest clean economical By the selection of Mr Robortsou as the stand ard bearer iu tho city election those persons who aro anxious to have the party work iu harmony fool that a crisis has been passed which for n timo threatened to sever tho ranks into two dangerous factions and therois n gen oral rejoicing that a candidato has been uamed who can rocoivo tho hearty nud

regard to tho Porto Hican tariff do uot seem to accord with their old war cry that the cousumer pays tho tariff Just uow they aro not interested iu the consumer hut it is tho producing people of that island who must suffer Surely the arguments of democracy nro as inconsistent as possible Tho domocrats would bo pleased to hnvo Norfolk furnish n pretext this spring for tho assertion Hint tho polit ical sentiment in regard to tho ropub lican national administration hnd uudor gone a change In this city and county Tin Nkwh feels safe iu asserting that if thoro has been a chaugo it is in tho other direction and it would bo n gront mistake for republican voters to furnish the ground work for any such conclu sion Judgo Robertson is a candidate whom uo republican has tho lombluuco of an excuse for not supporting ami ho should certainly havo his full party voto at the election on tho ld of April Tho domocrats think thoy do not need tho aid of tho Texas populists to carry that statu for Bryan this fall nud thoy aro accordingly making no overtures to that organization iu that state aud uo concessions Thoy dont enro whether thoy go in tho or to Cincinnati or to thu grand democratic rendrvous In his satanio majestys im perial realm Thoy can go and good riddance to bad rubbish In Nebraska nud othor northern stntes it is different Tho aid of tho populists is needed to place domocrats iu

tran som so quick it would make thoir heads swim As it is tho populist party is or onco was tho big end of tho fusion con cern and It would bo a case of tho tail wagging the dog should tho domocrats bcomo obstreperous Tho statement published today by tho water commisslouor throws an outiroly now light on tho condition of the water fund of tho city which tho public hns boon led to supposo was almost hopo lessly bankrupt Tho statoinout which is taken from tho records of tho city clerk and water commissioner demon strates conclusively that tho fund is not only uot bankrupt but on tho contrary will hnvo money in tho trensury as soon as tho pipo iu tho artesian well is pulled up aud sold which has been or dered dono by tho council During the present administration of city affairs then it is shown that tho operating ex penses of tho waterworks havo been kopt up 2000 worth of water bonds havo been paid out of tho fund tho ex penses of trying to secure an artesian well havo boon mot and there is mater ial ou baud which when sold will give tho fund a credit Thus is another pop ular belief exploded The Auditorium It must bo admitted that tho city has not done what thoso who built tho uew Auditorium had u right to expect under the conditions of the proposition that was nuido before it was commenced It wns generally understood that tho propositiou was that if Mr Warrant would erect an auditorium in Norfolk tho citizens of tho town would take onough iusuranco iu tho Royal Union Mutunl Llfo Iusurnuce company that tho cash premiums should amount to sJVjOO and that tho salo of seats for tho opening night should produce Mr War rant -1000 making a total of 7500 Mr Wigton now ropresoutiug tho inter ests of tho constructors of tho house has prepared a statement showing that tho gross receipts from theso sources was iu round numbers only 300 leav n deficiency of 1500 Mr Warrant agreed to build an audi torium at a costof 10000 It is stated that tho actual cost however oxcoeded that amount by not loss thnn 2000 It will thus be seen that Mr Warrant more than carried out his part of tho agreement and that the people of Nor folk did not raise tho amount which he had ovory reason to boliove would bo dono In consequence of this shortage an iudobtoduess that was not contem plated rests against tho property Tho city has nu opera house which after completion of the cornice will bo veiy attractive nnd will fully meet tho necessities of tho town This opern houso will bo n great convenience nud inducement in tho matter of securing conventions aud largo state meetings and will greatly improve our standing among tho enterprising cities of tho west Wo nro getting tho bouoflt of tho eutorpriso nud good faith should be kept with those who put up tho build iug Mr Wigton who has taken charge of tho Auditorium with n view of securing tho payment of tho claims ngainst tho building for labor nud material has just returned to Norfolk after an ex tended trip to securo this ond He ro ports that mouey from out of town can be had after Norfolk has made good one half of the shortage He says that when this is accomplished tho claims held by Norfolk citizens will bo paid off with mouoy received from other sources As u matter of publio pride overy citi zen should lend a helping hand aud subscribe suoh au amouut ns his circum stances will warraut this pian is thought to bo better than to rely upon the salo of tickets for au entertainment bocauso through that method tho ex penses would be considerable and the amouut that would go to the laboring mon would
