Con gress is supposed to make legislation and the President appointments. .Prac tically, as one effect cf the crowth of the spoils system, the method is re rersed. The President not only initi ates, but to a very largo degree is held responsible by the people for, the enactment of measures into law, de riving his power to do so from the patronage at his dipnsal. Hence the constant dickering, especially between the Senate and tho Admintbtraticn, at which the former is supposed an adept. Hitherto President Roocve!t ftmtt swung gayly up the broad road, -relying upon the righteoasn ess of his parpoee and his great personal prestige to sweep everything before Lim. The rely slight actual accomplishment of the past Bession, ending with increas ed confidence at tlia Capitol and de creased authority at the Whito Eous?, . is sure to indnce a change of tactics. Trading will now begin in earnest and j will be mightily mistaken it the ota i fail to find that they have net their match. Success in this kind of politics is dependent largely upon williagaess to subordinate insaus to aa ead, wherein in dealing with Theodore Roosevelt the Senate is at a disadvantage.

A-ii.e from that very plain implica tion, tJ.e article of the State Journal war. directed against the railroad lobby .m. not the legislature. If the august miu.LTi: ot the Nebraska senate had rac -c-.-e rally declared that they did net iiae en passes, it would have been muvh i.t)re eiTective as a denunciation oi the State Journal. Instead of that tl.ry proceed to call the kettle black ly saving that the State Journal com piu i:r-lf has douo much lobbying i)T :tt ovvn interest at every legisla ture for many years, and therefore, the-, tv.y, tlio Lincoln State Journal is a bloamim liar when it says they ruie en j)asse.. Whil ever njay bo the fact, it is a cry general belief thioughout the tt.it.-thr tho members cf the legis lature almost without exception ride Gn annual passes, as do all other office bolder?, state or county, withont re uar.l to politics. If the members of tho legislature aro really above asper sions of i his kind, they might goon record ence with a plain assertion of ft., t j-cttiu:; forth that they do not bold free passes over the railroads. The average man will believe that a public oiiircr can ride on an annual and t-till not be iu some measnre obligated to the donor thereof. Some few people are working against ?.Iayor Ijoetlcber's renomination on tue alleged crouad that "gambling ::as been permitted in Columbus." Wr.at :s there in this argument when reduced to a final analysis': if ths.se people have frequented all .ci gambling joints and know h.it gambling exists, and with this ki.'wie.'igb liavo failed as good citizens t mak complaint toMayorBoettcher, thev i.ro estopped from charging .ilftyo: Boeftcher with the results of tl.::r own mor.l cowardice. II these people want an argument :.ir.t wi:l go d3wu, they will have to rmo forward and declare that Mayor irttcher has permitted gambling of -iu a tbey had openly complained, or :hc eMtenco of which he knew. 1 br ecwardly arguments of these 'Vi ;:k niitr.l sisters won't gc down. rlll'i-'XDlXa THE TRUST. T.'il 'ielecrara has a rather unique diitn-f of the bridge Trust. It ad a..:: i'.e existence cf tho trust, and ..(.: its ihat liouro Koll number 25.1 which the bridge trust is trying to kill really ha some merit. But it vig orouvly oppose.-! the bill because R. Z. Drai'.e. whinn it familiarly calls s5ub", has stated without evidence that ibeie is a lumber and railroad rra.-t ii. Nebraska, which tho Telegram ha ivreed is worse than the bridge And tii editor of the Telegram teie- rr ',.v 1 Hi.. rnn,ritn!ninntf r RrtK'1 ..... u..' v..., .... v..... ....a.-, iu jiv for exposing the moustcr" lumber trust a;ui railroad trust, as if that espo-e" had any relation to the is-ne The Telegram forgets to explain that the railroads rarry lumber to the Staudnid Bridge Company as well as in the locti dealers and that they do not care which fellow's coin they get. It f org Mb ub-o to explain that under Huu-e Koll 235, tho Standurd Bridge Compiuv ;- net prevented from bid diiu; in i ompetition with local dealers, and that the bill simply protects the taxpivers from combinations between tle trust and supervisors. Ir formers to explain that the con tracts" of tho bridge trust, like the Tel-gram's printing contract, are blanket contracts, permitting hun Urs cf in liars to leak out. It the Standard Bridgo Company can tell lumber much cheaper than our local dealers whom the Telegram ii..-uits, why does it charge $40 a thousand for fir lumber and $38, in place, for cottonwood lumber when bridge men say they can buy the lum ber of local dealers, even ac trust prices, and save the county from 3 to 510 par thousand? Why dees not the Telegram expose Supervisors Ernst and Bender for lob bying in the interest of the Standard Bridgo Company? Dees the Telegram's uetimtion of a 'gentleman "bar it from exposing tho men who helped to vote it exorbitant and illegal funds for service? Following the rules of logic laid down by the Telegram, if you catch a man stealing your chickens, ana he tells yon there's another fellow stealing ycur apples, you would laud tho chicken thief, call hin "Bob," take him into your confidence and spend a couple of hours swearing at the apple thief and then wind up by turning over to him for "keeps" the J hoy to your chicken house. General Kurcpntkin can spend the days of his old ago in figuring out whether he is dishonored or only disgraced. A J'KCCUAi: iiiU.

It may be that the Stnudard Bridge Couipauy gave tlie county more material than they asked pay for. It may b that Supervisor Ernst engineered this work so as to favo the county money. If he did he bkould havo credit. But there are a few question? ilmt snirge themselves iu regard to this bill. Is there not an unusual luck of detail for a bill of nearly $3000? Take tho item "Placing lumber at contract price, .10." How much lum ber was placed, and at what contract price? Take tho next item, "2 cars fir lum ber 330 113." How large were these cars, and now much was paid per thousand feet? Take the item, "Placing old and new lumber furnished by the county, $liS.05." Will some ono explain what that means? We submit this kill without com ment. The Jonurnal i open to the Standard Bridge Company or Mr. Ernst to explain it. The bill is cer tainly so indefinite that r.o one elso could explain it. And perr-ap some taxpayer will interest hiaiself uflici ently in the Bridge in question to find out how much less tho county paid the Standard Bridge Company than it would have been ccmpel.c-d to pay to some home man. The bridges of Pla'tc county cost thousands of dollars. Let us see "where we are at." THE UAILKOAI) TAXES. Platte conntv is interested in the decision just rendered by Judge Muager of the Uniited States circuit, court in the matter of railway assess ment. The rase of Platte county against the Bnrlington is dismissed because the sum involved is net $2,000 which amount is necessary in order to bring a case within tbe jurisdic tion of tbe federal court. A6 to the Union Pacific, Platte county's case stands, along with other counties, but the uemurrers nf the county treasurers aro overruled on the ground thai; the state board had not used its own free mind and judgment in assessing the various roads, but had been influenced by outside pressure and had determin ed the assessments by the value of stocks and bonds, which value was en hanced by the possession of property situated octside the state; and fur ther that the state board had not de ducted from this assessment the prop erty owned by the railroads within the state which was already assessed by local assessors. This decision is not final except to continue tho temporary injunction against the county treasurers until tbe case is tried on the motion of tha railroads for a perpetual injunction. Meanwhile the various counties are restrained from collecting the taxes claimed. OUR CANDIDATE. We riso to nominate Edear Howard for city treasurer to enter the race against Dave Newman. While Dave has not really announc ed his candidacy, and will not do to unless rt Galley refuses to become the republican candidate for the office. we believe that Bert Galley will step aside for the pleasure of seeing our candidate Edtrar Howard, cross -swords with Dave for supremacy in tho dem ocratic party in Columbus. Before we consent to enter our candidate, however, we must exact this pledge from republicans : No republican is to vote for Dave. Of course we all have known for some time ttnt our candidate has lost the support of the better element among the democrats because of his position as president, dictator, chief stockholder, and sole dividend receiver of the Platte County Printing Trust. But we had never dreamt that modest Dave Newman who has never before sought an cilice and who has never e d to be counsellor of the republican party, had reallz surplaut cd our candidate in tbe high councils of Columbus democracy until tho Tele gram made that admission. In fact we are not quite convinced yet and that is why we want to see the race. We are aware hat the contest would be unequal if republicans were per mitted to vote, for the republicans all like Dave',?, modest, industrious, hon est methods of doing things and would all vote for him. On tho other hand many democrats believe that if candi date Howard were elected treasurer, his printing trust habits might lead him to invent some new fangled city blanks to be printed by the Telegram at trust prices. Still, if we pass a resolution com pelling our candidate to be honest, we believe, the city would be cafe in his hands, if by chance be should be elect ed. At any rate, let the democrats say whether our next treasurer shall be Edgar Howard or Dave Newman. And to make the betting interesting, let us invite candidate Howard's friends, Ernst and Bender, in to hold the stakes. Missouri has redeemed herself. At the eleventh hour the first republican legislature in that state for thirty years quit acting foolish and united on one of the strongest and ablest men of tne state, Major William Warner, for United 8tates senator. Have they put it well, ail right, let it go this, tisse. TUE GRAFTERS. While the head cf the bridge trust i paolishing consolatory menace received from patlic spirited super-!cr- ct nl.. some other items aoi uuite a J tcor hing art! appearing 'Ike following dispatch from Beatrice appeared Iait Wednesday in thfe Lin coln Evening Xev : Ggr county is net the only county in Nebraska tht lias beeti robbed by the bridge "grafters." It is hard to find a county tbr.t hasn't been robbed. Up in Lancaster county it was touud that bridge tubes sunposed to bo tilled with concrete were filled with :ind. Out in Hr.ll county they had similar trouble, while in York county, the taxpayers were saved thousands of dollars by a local banker bidding much lc;s than the bridge men. The hridce business has been and now is a public scandal. Even new there is a t torv going the rounds in Beatrice to the effect that a certain bridge con tractor got ' his letters mixed and mailed n checK for $40 to a former member ot the Gage countv board of supervisors, who no longer claims Ne braska ns his home, and mailed a check for ?300 to a local carpenter then in the employ of tho bridgo contrac tor. It is said the -10 check wan pay able to the carpenter and the $300 check payable to the supervisor. This is only one instance and Gage county, wo presume, paid the bills. Is it any wonder the taxpayers of Nebraska are demanding bridge legislation?" THE ISSUE. The city campaign this year involves not the personal qualities of the candidates but the platforms on which they nre standing The issue is clear ly defined on tho ono hand by the re solution adopted by the republican convention and the spepch of aceptance made by Mr. Dickinson, and on the other hand by the aciion of tbe dem ocratic convention in turning down the citizens' plan of non-political city government and kicking ont of the party tho mayor who had dared to oppose the party bosses or boss, as the case may bo and administer his office as he thought was right, and in the interest of the citizens who nominated and elected him. 'City Government for Citizens Only" is the republican platform. "City Government for Revenue Only" is tbe democratic platform. Tim condition in tho city is very similar to the condition in the county, which is very natural, considering that the same ring operates both city and county democracy and the strings are pulled from the same headquart ers. And the same considerations which last fuli led hundreds of democrats to abandon the ship that was sinking with the weight of illegal spoils and vote with tho party that stands for honesty in public office tho same con siderations that turned the banner democratic county of Nebraska into the republican column these same considerations will operate to bring scores of democrats to the citizens' party in this city election. The ticket nominated by tbe repub lican convention last Saturday night was not intended to be, and is not primarily, a party ticket. The repub licans went into convention to nom inate a citizens' ticket, headed by August Boettcher, a democrat. The democratic bosses who had assembled a lew of their personal retainers un der tke name of a democratic conven tion rejected the citizens' plan and threw Mr. Boettcher out of the dem ocratic party. Every democrat in the city of Columbus who endorses Mayor Boettcher's administration, and this means every democrat who believes in honesty in office, will vote for Dickinson and most of them will vote the straight republican ticket. The question is not party ; the ques tion is graft. Government for tbe city, or government for revenue? TILE TICKET. In accepting the nomination for mayor, R. S. Dickinson said: "If I am elected, I pledge myself to con duct such affairs of the city as may come under my charge to tho best of my abilitv for the best interest of tbe whole city, and to stand resolutely opposed to private graft of every.form. 1 do not want the oflico ana would rather some other should receive the nomination, but since I have been urged to accept it I will give you the best I have." This is another case where, as the old Greek said, if tho office does not reflect credit on the man, the man will reflect credit on the office. Mr Dickinson has already been honored by tho office of mayor of Columbus, and no higher honors will come to him with another term. But he proves himself willing to repay the party for former honors by now mak ing the sacrifice of his time and busi ness in order to make the race. That he is a strong candidate does not re quire argument. Several years ago he surprised even his own friends by the size of the majority that he re ceived over one of tbe strongest men in the democratic party, and that when the democratic party was unit ed. His term as mavor was in every way successful and satisfactory. He upheld the best idea? cf umnicirtM government. He was popular with the liberal element because he grant ed them their full rights under the laws of the city without permitting any abuseB. The decent men who are engaged in the saloon business are just as anxious to see the disreputable joints closed and illegal liquor practi ces stopped as anybody else is. A mayor is not a lawmaking officer; his business is the enforcement of the or ordinances as they are. It is his bus iness to see that every man gets the protection that the laws give him. And it is his business to be honest, and to subordinate private favor to public good. That he cannot do this if a democrat, and retain bis place in his party, is demonstrated by the case of Mayor Boettcher; that he can do it and retain his place of honor in the republican party is demonstrated by Mayor Dickinson's former term. That Mr. Dickinson will be elected is admitted by everybody. Bnt he ought to be more than elected. He ought to get every republican vote, and he will; but he ought also to get at lease half of the democratic vote, aad we believe he wilL We believe that at least half of the desa ocraiic voters ia Colasabas believe ia hcaesty and will be glad to assist ia kaockiag out completely aad finally the old risg tlut knocked out their own mayor be cause he dared to be hoaesr. Now is the opportunity to give this rinir iu death blow in Columbus. It will be well to elect Mr. Dickinson. But it will be better to elect the en tire ticket. Dave Newman is opposed by an old and tried member of tbe Platte county ring: a vote for New man is no less a protest agaimt ring rule than a vote for Dickinson. Like wise, a repubiicau mayor would be powerless against a democratic coun cil. Mr. Galley and Mr. Sheldon need no leojmmendation. Their record is a sufficient guarantee. Mr. Nichols in the First ward has an up-hill fight, but these are republican times. Mr. Nichols is a popular and clean young business man and would support tbe mavor at times when support is need ed John Brock is an old soldier and is entitled to the vote of every repub lican ; moreover, he is against tfe rule of the gang. If you would purge onr municipal government of graft, vote against the grafters, whatever your politics. Vote the republican ticket and vote it straight. Who has not seen un individually strong, heavy nint well trained foot ball team go down in crushing defeat before a lighter and weaker aggrega tion whose movements were directed in that magical system known as team work? Individual piowesa doesn't count for very much when the coaches are plotting against each other, the captain is afraid of his job, and the center is looking for a chance to kick his own quarterback in the eve as he passes the ball. To a man up a tree this would seem to be the condition of our old friend Russia. While the are watching each other tbe little Japs have got in back of them. Team work is a great thing. A republican who was at the con vtntion Saturday night says that just ore thing was overlooked The con vention neglected to offer a rote of thanks to the editor of the Telegram for making the city of Columbus safe ly republican. COLUMBINES. If there is anything we do like to see it is harmony among members of the perfesh. Railroad passes over here and Tin Passes over there it does seem as though somebody is scrapping over something somewhere all the time. We had thought, as we took our typewriter in hand, to grind out a little roast for our old friend. the Tele gram. But we have just read our old friend, the Argus and we forbear. No body can deny that enough and more than enough is plenty. In the Many Years Ago column of this issue we publish an editorial article written by the late M. K. Turner and published in the Journal of March 20, 1875. It was written at the request cf a subscriber whose wedded life was not altogether har monious and who accordingly asked the editor for some suggestions that might assist in quieting the troubled matrimonial sea. Mr.A'urner's article was written thirty-three years ago but it is worthy of many readings, and we think it will be welcomed espec ially by those who knew . the writer and knew that he practiced as he preached.
