SENATOR M'SHANE ,
His Actions Regarflinc ! the Cbarlor
Aniendnients.
Severely Kcprlnmmlcd by n Disinter
ested Spcotntor Who Attcnilcil
the Meeting Batur-
dny Night.
At the cltlzous meeting Saturday night
the writer was a spectator , perhaps as dls
Interested aa any property owner present.
Ho has been in attendance at many pub'
lie meetings In this city during the past
years. Ho ventures the following opin
ion upon the morlta of aomo of the mat *
ters discussed at that meeting , together
with aomo reflections growing out of his
experience with public discussions In
Omaha.
The object for which the mooting was
called was dltcussion of the city charter
amendments. The hill embodying those
having pissed both houses after the call
had boon published , no influcnco could bo
exerted by the assembly for or against
any of Us provisions. Mr. Connell was
therefore justifiable In explaining the
character of the amomdmonta agreed
upon and incorporated In the legislative
bill. lie proceeded with this in r
courteous , clear and able manner , nnti
Intarruplod , when ho polltsly g vo way
for a few momenta to Mr. MoShano , on
request. Toward the close of his apoccl
an old personal enemy interrupted him
with language by no means genteel , anc
so drew from the city attorney aomo
strictures npon the opponents of the now
charter which , under the circumstances ,
might have boon omitted. As it will ap
pear farther on in this communication ,
wo seldom have a mass mooting in which
theno personal fends are not permitted to
Intrude.
Senator McShano followed the city nl-
torney in response to a motion requesting
him to elite what action ho had taken on
the city charter question and succeeded
admirably in showing that his opposition
lacked alncotity or waa captious. Ho
wont ever the ontlro griund and had not
ono kind or complimentary word to cay
of onv fellow member of the Douglas
county delegation In the legislature or ol
any citizen of the city who was in at
tendance there In the special Interest of
the amended charter. Ho showed con
cluaivoly that he bad failed to ba present
irhon the amendments were dlscnsccd by
the delegation and had novel1 said one
word to the lower house members for or
against the bill aa presented nntil It had
passed the lower house and was ready to
bo presented to the senate for its action
and that within throe days of adjournment
mont aa was then supposed. It is nol
strange , therefore , that the remainder oi
the delegation were amazed and disgusted
with the eeniorsonator from Doughs. Ho
appears to have felt that his experience
and position were such that the younger
members of the lower house should have
como to him and asked him whether or
not the bill accorded with
his views. In the ICBJ com
plimentary language of Mr. James
Crclghton , ho waa afflicted with enlarge
ment of the cranium and poaicssod an ex
paudod sense of his senatorial dignity. It
would have boon very easy for McSlnno
to have had all his amendments , or the
major part of them at least , inserted in
the bill before it left the house , hsd ho
contented to unbend long enough to con-
salt with the house delegation. Ho pre
ferred , however , to making a sensation
by waiting until the last moment and
then peremptorily and with an air of su
perior virtue declining to accept the
amendments as they stood. Not only did
ho propose changes in the now sections ,
but insisted npon additionalchangcs from
the language of the old charter.
The amendments proposed to the
charter bill by Mr. McShauo were all
more or loss moritoriou ? . The lower
house delegation and citizens were will
ing to admit his propositions possessed a
degree of merit in themselves. The im
perious manner of the conator and the
suddenness of his attick npon the bill
were the Decision of offense. Mr.
McShano is said to hive had access
to the charter bi 1 as early aa Ftbiuary
10th , when it waa first printed. Ho
could have soon it earlier if ho had been
sufficiently interested to go to the housa
records or to Mr. Brunner , who intro
duced the bill. Standing out in cold in
difference until the evening of Wednes
day , when it Roomed probable the legij.
laturo would adjourn Saturday following ,
ho then struck what appeared to bo a
fatal blow at the important instrument.
It is no wonder that the Douglas county
member * of the lower homo were enraged ,
especially aftrr wrestling with tha sub
ject all night , accomplishing nothing.
Vainly they tried to got the senator to
make them a proposition for an amicable
settlement of their differences. They
separated at 5 a. m. , thorouhly worn
out , annoyed and angry. It la not
strange , therefore , that in the heat of the
moment thoyahonld agree upon action not
altogether wise , or oven foolish. Amend-
mentsunlvorsally demanded by the people ,
must go with those in controversy if the
bill should fall t'o pais. This firms a not
unworthy oxouso for the hasty resolution
of the house delegation not to concur in
any amendment ! imdo in the senate. If
the legislature had adjourned aa wna an
ticipated at the tirao tbia action was iak-
cn , amendments , however alight , would
have endangered the bill if they would
not have prevented Its pasiago entirely.
Hence tbe resolution not to concur , forc
ing Mr. McShano either to see the bill
safely through the npper house or shoul
der the reepomlbllily of Its defeat instead
of being able to shift that responsibility
from his own individual ahonldera to
thoio of tbo entire delegation ,
The resolution of approval and thanks
tendered Mr. McShano , carrying with it ,
by implication , n oonsuro of the remain
der of the delegation waa as nnftir aa it
waa uncalled for , At the tlmo the reso
lution waa voted upon , no peraon had ad-
droiaed tbo people upon the subject of
Mr. McSliano's action saving himself.
Ho continued three quarters of an hour
In explaining his position and action.
Upon the concluiion of hla speech , dis
cussion ended , the audience declining
absolutely to hoar the other tidr. Mr
Orcighton attempted to apeak , but al
lowed his perional ill-will toward the
senator to manifest itself so plainly as to
neutralize the effect of his utatomeuts. It
would have been only fair and right to
wait tbo return of our delegation , and to
have heard them In self defense before
agreeing to the resolution. There are
BBvoml gentlemen oa the delegation who
know ai much aa our senior ten *
ator , atd at least three who can tell ;
what they know In hotter English and
with more effectiveness ,
The writer has noticed that whenever
any matter of public Interest it brought
before cltlzena of Omaha for discussion
In a masa meeting that a host of cranks
and tholr enemies attend and consume
tha tlmo of the audience In aiting the
dirty linen of each other. Even our
conrteona and able city engineer was
goodcd into a reference to the records of
certain citizens before ho had concluded
his very temperate and convincing ad
dress. At ono meeting of the board of
trade boforotho charter bill waa prepared ,
while proposed amendments were being
discuesod , almost the cntito evening was
consumed by an Interchange of com pi I
monts ( ] ) between certain prominent clti
zciiB. It will bo remembered , away back
In the days of waterworks excitement ,
how nctimonloua and personal were many
of the speeches. It contlnncs so. Hans-
corn always lies in w it for Connell , and
the doughty lawyer is equally belligerent.
Barker has an antipathy against several
of his old neighbors , and Croighton
jumps up while with rage whenever Dar
ker or McSluno trample on his corpulent
toes. There are other citizens equally
irritable. Those are only examples.
Another dais of persona who take part
in these discussions arc governed by sel
fish Interests either by reason of property
or cf ollontago. It is entirely right that
property owners should bo hoard , but it
is not fair to other cltxana ! for iho owner
of a few feet front on Sixteenth street to
antagonize the wishes of every other tax
payer on the street , or to Insist that the
whole city aball discommode itaclf ba >
cauao a spoclfied measure will seriously
eficct the value of hla particular lot. Wo
have had public harangues ia opposition
to proposed impiovoracnta bjsod npon no
bolter or broader grounds. The lawyers
are frequently hoard at those meetings In
the solo Interest of cllonto who are ag
grieved or are pursnolng aomo dog-ln-tho-
manger policy. Many cltizans will remember -
member how ono of our ablest attorneys
argued an Injunction suit nt the last char
ter amendment mooting at graal
length , consuming valuable tinin
and provoking a controversy
that kept the audience in a trraaglo ol
hours. The worst of it was that
every man present , except ono of the
attorney's clients , was Sored , and felt
that the long speech waa not at all to the
point. It is to bo hoped that the address
when delivered In court will bo more
effective , for after hesrlng the able argu
ment the people present rejected the
resolution favored by iho speaker.
Niually , by rtjoaon of thcsa prlvato
fends , official anlmoaitiua , conflicting per
sonal interests and the lack of courtesy
growing out of them public meetings in
this city very frequently rosnlt in noth
ing but additional ill-fo ( > lln | < 8 between
old enemies , and the o cation of now
enmities. The cranks and their enemies
begin to fight on the lint motion pro
posed and continue their wringle until
all but patties personally or oflichlly in
terested have retired in disgust. The
real sontc of what was a respectable
meeting in point of numbers at the out
set is not obtained becausa the persona
who could best decide between two op
posing factions b.ivo withdrawn from the
room whuro the meeting may be hold.
Unless some of these quarrelsome old
citizens die or retire from public life , wo
cm jast about as well glva up holding
public meetings to discuss the welfare of
the city. TAXI-AYEU.

Douglas Delegation.
In jaatioa to the members of the
Douglas delegation , xrhcmo c out so in con
noctiou with the Omsha charter amend
ments has buon assailed and mftrapro
Bontcd , wo publish the following letter
from Hon. T. 0. Brunnor ;
Dear Sir : I aeo by the Omaha Herald
and Republican that McShano and
McArdlo ara the two great lights of
the Douglas county delegation , and
tiavo done wonders for tha pooplo.
They state that wo bad not road the bill ,
which la nntruo , aa I hid read the bill
several timoi. The amendments that.Mc-
Shane proposed nnd wo concede * do
not amount to any thing , and are not what
bo wanted , and do not materially chsngo
the bill for the bettor , and the people
ought to know it. Furthermore , I heard
McShane Fiiday noon tnlkiug through
the telephone , siying tnat ho could delay
the bill until Tuesday. Senator Clark
and I made up our minds that ho should
not delay It oven one dny and by Saturday
morning \ro had 23 uemtorsplodged to na
to put the bill on Ita paesigo and pas ] It.
Wheu Mr. Clark called up the bill Church
Ho wo and McShano commenced to hurry
around and found that wo had headed
thorn oil' . Howe and McShano then voted
for the bill only aj a laet rcjcrt because
they could not defeat it. McSbano'a
evident objost WAS to kill the bill by delay -
lay for duting the mooting of the com
mittee of the whole on Prlday afternoon
Senator Mot 15 moved that the committee
dp arise -ao aa to call tha chatter
bill up on its passage. MoShano vrni ab
sent. Howe itnmadlatoly Bonds a page
after McShano , hold n hurried con-
feronca witli Buir , of Lancaster ,
another of the tricksters in parliamentary
manoeuvres , moved an adjournment ,
which carried. Senator Motz was very
much disgusted with hla colleague , nnd
meditated handing ia hla resignation to
tbo governor on account of AlcSliaao' . )
attempt to dcfaat the charter bill by in.
action and dolay. To aubs'antlato ' thoio
facts Senator Clark Informs me
that Senator Elnsol , chairman
of the commlt'eo ' on enrolled
and enRtoiaed bills , informed him :
that McShana was seen talking to Ho- !
lingsworth , the chief clerk ( if
that committee , undoubtedly to have
him delay repott cf amendments
as agreed npon. I will further state that
Senator Clark and I got a special order
from the secretary ot stata to have the
amendments printed'at once , or the bill
would have been delayed aaotfier day ,
and these do'nya might bavo proved
fatal. " Now , who Is entitled to credit
by tbo people ? Senator McSlmno , or the
balance of the Douglas county delegation
who have btea faithful aud untiring in :
their efforts to aecnro the paecago of the
charter ? Now , wo would like you to set
na right before the people of Omaha and
Doppha CDunty , and give credit to whom
credit ia due. T. 0. BHUNUEU.
