ROSEWATER Editor- THE railroad bosses have strangled the republican party In Nebraska. Ann MONOPOLY within tbo republican lican and democratic parties has had a fair trial within the legislature. It proved to bo a snare and a sham , THE steal Industry at Lincoln will never aajain bo protected at the polls. The producers of Nebraska have spot ted the robbers and will bury them too deep for political resurrection , MR. BtiiNEls at the republican helm In Washington , but the ship Is 1 riding In rougher waters than when the old time speaker of the house dl rooted Us course and shaped the party jjolicy. PENNSYLVANIA high tariff protco tioalsts may prevent a republican congress gross from passing a tax reduction bill , but if they do Pennsylvania will have to elect the next president. The cry for tax reduction has become a national one. KANAB has just created a three conta' per rallo passenger law , but the people of Nebraska must submit to highway robbery for two years longer because the corrupt republicans and rotten democrats in the legislature pooled against them. HAXCN , the metoorloglcal nurlinot , aays he Is being persecuted by his brother officers of the army and that the record thowc that ho was a good soldier. The record shows that ho Is a very poor signal officer. Wlgglnn has beaten Hazon on weather guesses this season every time. THE Corrupt crowd of shysters and pettifoggers who have made their liv ing in Omaha by shameless barter In oar justices courtsjiave reached the end of their rope. The passage by the legislature of the bill cutting down the number of justice's courts In cities of the first-class will clip their wings and curtail their profits. THE senate tariff bill , "which wai discussed yesterday in the house , bears the title , "An act tu reduce In ternal revenue taxation. " Its first five sections are reductions of nearly $25,003,000 in the Internal taxes , The taxes on capital and deposits of banks and bankers , the stamp tax on bank checks , orders , drafts and vouch ers , and the tax ton matches , perfu mery and patent medicines arc entire ly repealed , while the taxes on cigars cigarettes and tobacco are cut down nearly CO per cent. These reduction are In the nature of a substitute foi the house Internal revenue bill of the last session. REPORTS ore current In Woshlngtoc that General Berman will bo a c&ndl date for the presidency before thi next republican convention and tha' Secretary Blaine Is giving the donght ] old warrior every encouragement anc organizing a Sherman literary b\iroai \ for pushing the canvass. The repor probably originated in the fertlli brain of some sensational Washlngtoi correspondent. It Is emphatically denied by General Sherman hlnuol ) and passed over oontomptaously b Mr.lBlalne , General Sherman will b retired next September with the ful rank and pay of general of the army With the salary of $13,500 a year h can well afford to steer clear of poll tics. An Important constitutional amend ment will bo voted upon by the pea pie of Nebraska at the next gsnera election. It proposes to extend th legislative session to sixty days , ante to increase proportionately the pay < the members. The result of too lal eoaaion shows that such an oraem ment la necessary. The time now allowed ilm lowed IB too abort for the proper cot aldoratlon of important measure The beat measures are often dofoato on the ground of insufficient propan tlon or amendment , while in th rash of the closing hours of the sei sion the most fhgrant jobs ai forcsd through to a passage.

Omaha oanuot afford to postpone ( another year the extonalon and com * plotlonof the North and South Omaha sowers. The drainage of that portion of the city through which they pa a Is a matter of public necessity. When the proposition to extend the South Omaha aowor to Ninth street was un der discussion , TUB BEE presented a mass of statistic ! showing the frlgth. ful mortality along the South Omaha crook rcBultlng from the atagnant and lugqlsh water which oozed through its bed to the river. It demonstrated by the rcporta of the city physio- ian that the number of malarial diseases along the creaks wore greater than in all the rest of the city com bined and that the percentage of fatal caaas was alarmingly largo. The ar guments used are jtiat OB pertlnot now when the completion of these Improvements monts is demanded by the board of public works , as they were tno years ago , Upper Farnam ia badly In need of drainage. The green and stagnant pools above Twentieth street are con stant sources of danger to residents In that vicinity. It ia proposed to extend tend the St. Mary's avenue aower across the Kountzo property to Far uam and thus to carry off to the river the surplus water whloh has accumulated at the foot of the hill draining aho the entire basin between Douglas and Harney and Nineteenth and Twonty-tooond streets. It Is alao proposed to extend the North Omaha sewer to the military brldgo , and to complete the South Omaha sewer to the rivor. All thoaoimpiove montaaro demanded by the sanitary requirements of the city. The amount of annual interest which these Improvements will com pel is trifling when compared with the saving of life and health which will ranult from the proper draining of our city. Open creeks in villages are oondnoivo to health. They carry off rapidly the small amount of froth which accnmu latos along their bankc or passes into their current. Bat in largo cities like Omaha , whore the accumulation is a thousand times as largo , the banks of the creek winding and steep , and whore the wash from the otroot Is largely made up of decaying vegetable matter , an open creek is a deadly luxury. Onnha haa found It BO and our cltizana must rid thomsalvoa of the nuisance aa quickly ai possible. , RIV P. Who Hhall decide when doctors dlsagrcb ? The congrosclonal com mlttoo and the MiasiiBippl river com mission are ai loggerheads over plans for the permanent improvement of the Mississippi. The commission plan haa been to control the water by ele vating the banks , while the congres sional committee favors a system of outleta which will enable the river to lower ita own channel. The chief objection to the levee plan ia that it raises the flood line of the rivor. The tendency of the banks to slip and alldo into the tiver aa the current becomes stronger by re- atralnt la alao a constant menace to the levee plan. Loss than a week ago the costly government improvements at Plum Point were washed away and an expenditure of half a million dollars lars In mattraaios and rlprapplng wont down towards the gulf. The plan recommended by the con gressional committee la that of a wide system of sublets which will relieve , the river of high water below Vioka- burg and check the disastrous floods 18 on the lower Mississippi. Along r the upper river they sug- 10 goat constant dredging and the removal of obstructions with sucl in atraightulog and strengthening of the I- banks as will contract the channo 10 without Boriously diminishing the bet at of the rivor. They claim that thi ty building of continuous levees is a dan id gorous experiment whloh will certain LU ly ralso the flood line of the Mlssiss rt ippl from Boven to ton foot on Ita low lo or section , and which will bo n m greater or more permanent safeguard ly than Ita natural banks. lf Aa the people are disposed to doi y ; liberally with our gros bo national waterways the objection ill raised by Mr. Batter worth's commlttc ; y. to the levee plan will demand wide be spread attention. $50,000,000 i $100,000,000 whloh ia proposed < make for improving the Mlsalasip and Missouri rivers ought to bo moi carefully supervised. If , as the ooi 10- grossional committee claim , the moi natural plan ia the boat , provloi ho theories and the interests < nd contractors ought not to stand in il of way of ita adoption. ito id- O.VUUA can bo congratulated upo il- the passage by the legislature , bofoi m- its adjournment , cf a bill which wi 03.od go far to reform the most flagrar od abuses of our jnstioa'a courts , Hen ra' after all cities of the firot-class are t ho constitute one dhtrlct or precinct fc ea- the purpose of the election of six jui ire tlces of the peace and six constable ) an In other words the number of justice ng haa been cut down one-half in Oman : oi and their successors are to b ioa elected at largo. This mean , the selection of candidates for th 111 office who can afford to bo honoal Omaha has enough petty litigation \ pay a fair income for six : judgesTh position eau now be thrown/open t tbo younger tnombora of the bar and honest men outaldo the bar with the osrtainty that any of the incumbents can make enough from legitimate foea to pay him for being intelligent and upright , two qualities which have been at a discount up to the present time in these offices. An jastlcoa and constables will bo elected at largo , ward bummers and low dlvoi will no longer bo able to dictate the choice , Oipablo men will run a greater ohanco of election on a general ticket whore the choice IB made by all the voters of the city than at a single polling place where a few hundred votora decide the elec tion. WE publish to-day the now law on registration in the city of Omaha , which goes Into effect to-day. UnJor this law the mayor and council will hare to take action at once , appoint their registrars and have the books prepared that thoreglatrationof votora for the city election can take place nn dor the requirements of the now statute. Whether the provloionn cf another act that .authorizes the city council to divldo each ward into two or more polling places can also bo put in force at once remains to bo aeon. In any event a big stride forward baa boon made toward getting an honest registration of voters. How Ireland la Governed. Dublin Freeman's Journal. The everyday executive of Ireland consists of an English viceroy and English chief nscrotary , a Scotch un der socrfUry , an English assistant under secretary , with an Orange Irish coadjutor. The English lord lleuton ant of Ireland has the privy council the privy council if Ireland. The title at leant is Irish , but the privy council of Ireland ia as much Irish aa the caatlo system is constitutional. The constitution of the body Is aa follows : Two Protcatant archbishops ops , ono an Englishman , aged 70 , and the other an Irlnh tory , aged 82 ; two ox-Irish chancellors , nine Eogliohmon who have at nomu time or other dur ing the century been chief secretaries for Ireland , aud three ex commanders of the forces in Ireland. There are seven poora , of whom four at hint ore pronounced torlcn , four Irish non-ofli clal commoners , who ought to know the country , for they are all rejected parliamentary cundidateo , a conpln o heads of Irian cilices and covoral Irish judges.

It la estimated that thli year's output of the Wood lUver and Sawtooth mines in Idaho will be about $3,000,000 , or double the yield of the entire Territory three years ago. It is reported on good authority that the Kansas City rolling mills , recently sus pended , has been leased to Capt. J. B.

After hla mass , which ho okya early , Lee XIII. gives audience to Cardinal Jttoobinl , secretary of state and former ly nuncHat Vienna , whoso political learning Is rare oven in thoao of hia cfiiaial position. Ills place ia then taken by the cardinal secretary of oc- cloalastlcal affairs and by the congre gation of cardinals , each cf which hai its fixed day , The covoral councils generally occupy the whole morning , until ono hour after mid-day. The popo'a dinner : A potage , ono dish of moat and notno ohcose ; a faw minutes Buflico for Its conaumption. While h takes the nlr In fie attornoon generally in nm car riage ho usually roada the bishops' reports , all of which come direct into hia own hands , the dispatches from the nunciatures , and especially any news from Belgium. This little king dom , which lias broken its diplomatic relations with the holy sao , is parti cularly near his heart. For it is there that ho himself was nnnnlo from 1843 to 1810 , and there that ho studied at oloso quarters a great politician , Leo pold I. Towards 4 o'clock the pope gives hla private and public andioncor , and the evening hours are devoted to the recaption of bishops. This long day over Lee XII , rcgalna the solitude of his own closet. Then at last he ia able to begin work , Tall , thin , spare , with hia palo and deeply-lined faca , the pope usually has dollcato health , of which ho takes small care. His austerity ia extreme. The spiritual sovereign of 200,000,000 Catholics does not spend ICO francs a month for his table The energy of a strongly developed nervous system alone enables him to resist the fatigue of hla labor and vast responsibilities. At times' those about him perceive a moment of exhaustion and collapse ; but a little happiness , a piece of good news or a pleasant telegram restore the llfo of hia worn frame. Suddenly well again , ho takes up once more hli heavy burden , and betakes himself to that work of reconciliation and peace making to which ho has devoted him self. self.Ho Ho is always grave , or rather solemn omn ; always the popo. The Italians call hla manners and surroundings ceremonious. Gravity h Inherout in his nature , as those aver who have known him from bin earliest youth Ho never abandons himself , laugh ; rarely. Ho might bo thought stern did ho not temper his severity by thi patient attention with which ho listen without Interruption to all whi apeak to him. Hla audiences are fa leas frequent than were these of Pin ; IX , bnt for that very reason they take up more time. Ho hat not the brilliant side BO noticeable in his predocccior , the general ease the fine good humor which endured notwithstanding the surprising viola eltndca of the last pontificate , nor the frank , bold and genial speech , full o witty nnd happy words , thrown off in that aonoious voice which Piun IX. retained in SlFoxtramo old ago. Leo XH. is as slow of speech aa the arch bishop of Paris. But if neither the pope nor the cardinal has received the orator's gift , each has been endowed dewed with the author's. Perhaps this almilarity explains the special sympathy and esteem which the pope entertains toward Mgr. Gilbert. The pastorale in which the archbish op of Poruala ( this was Cirdlnal Pecoi'fl cffiflr'botoro his election aa pope ) was wont to demonstrate the harmony of faith and reason , of relig ion and civilization , "growing like the Sewer and fruit from the root of Christianity1 were much noticed by Italian publicists. The prieat loved to treat the question of the day and of modern society. The Illustrious Bon- ghl aald to him that hla was "ono of the moat finely balanced and vigorous of characters , " that he was "a man who had realized the ideal of a car dinal such as St. Bernard conceived it. " Since the eighteenth century since the time of Benedict XIV. and Clement XIV. , Homo has not coon a pope of so cultivated a mind , BO accomplished In Latin and Tuscan verse , 10 familiar at once with classic and with contemporary letters. At the present time , the two qualities which Lee XIII moat prizes , and alms moat constantly in securing In hit writings , are simplicity and modera tion. Hla letters , hia onolycllcals , jail are submitted to the sacred college. Nothing is more admirable than the manner in which ho elicits opinioni andjwolghs objection ? . Ho has test known to completely rewrite , aftei grave debates , encyclicals which he had already completed. Aa he suf fera from sleeplessness , it ia general ! ] In the night hours when ho compose his most immortal works. It ia by this active life , the monotony ony of whloh would frighten manj statesmen , that the holy father Is abli to manage directly , in all their im - mensity of detail , the affairs of th church. Thoao afftlra have multiplied ) greatly since the early part of the con s , tnry. iloro than ono hundred bishop rlca have boon founded In America Plus IX. wrote little ; he Inspired thi writlnga of others. Lee XIII haa hi own hand in all , sees all with hla owt eyes , and directs all. Moderation which , with auaterity , la the domlnan note in the sovereign's conduct , ant which ho has made into law for him eolf , has borne Its fruits. At thi . time of hla accession the diplomat ioo ! corps accredited to the Vatican was ro dnced to about two embaaaadora- el thoae of Franco and Austria. A ela present ho receives the envoys or thi - ambaaadora of all the powers , sav only Belgium end Italy , With regards gards to thcao two countries , thor ar are no slgua of any possible under standing , bnt the rrostabllihuieivt o of diplomatic relations between the hoi ; al tea nnd nlmcsb all states guarantee for the proaunt tno cxUtenco of th v . pope at RJUIO and his spiritual Inde peudonco. Novertholeaa , wo mua not suppose that the present moderation tion denotes a change or a backwan movement from the doctrinca of th lalo pontificate. I recall to mind th recent oignlficant saying of a dlgnltar of the Roman curia ; "All that hate to bo eald h&a bocn oald. The churc never changes.
