A JAi'ANKsn court has recently lined an editor for not crediting an article clipped from a contemporary. If such lines could bo imposed in this country , a largo number of editors would bo liable for not crediting the Omaha Unit for arti cles appropriated from its columns with out credit. Aitrnv.UAM iii ISo-toii was so drunk in the bov last week that ho had to bo re moved and the trial postponed.

Not long ago the democrats would have had bonfires in Iowa over the Mnallncss of a republican majority of 510,000.

Tlie HiiKlilK Compromise. ( Jeiirrnl Mausigor Ilughitt of thoNorlh wuslrni railroad is alarni"d at thu de- leimination of Onnha business men to have an independent line of Iheir own iitwlhe Klkhorn valley. An n conec- ioi ! to the eommereifll interr'h of Ihis cil.s Mr. lltnhill proposes to construe ! a "tub line from Kcnnard to Omaha nnd intimate * that with proper guarantee * , tint no competing road will be built by Omaha capitalists into lheKlkhorui.il- ley , the headquarters of the Sioux City it I'neiiie. which arc now at Missouri Val ley , will bo located and main tained nl Omaha. This indication of n change of policy on the part of the Chicago & Northwestern manager ger- * will be hailed with satNfuetion by our pi-mile. It shows Ihal the railroad nngnatc-i who control thi. Chicago A ; Northwestern reuli/e that 'innha ' iin a position lo enforce her ilemandsfor , fair ircatment and proper facilities from the railroads. At the .same tiui'1 , we doubt very much whether it would be judicious and prudent for our c-ili/.cus to let the present opportunity go for securing a railway into tlm Klkhorn valley that will jilwsijs bo operaleil in Iho inter- e-ts of Omaha. A slub road to Kcnnitrd will operate very much like a stub linn to Orcnpolis on the 15. A : M. Mr. Ituglillt and the present malingers of the Norlhwi stern- may faithfully carry out their pledge * to place Omaha on an equal footing with Sioux City with rog.ml to northwestern Ne braska tratllc. Hut who knows when a successor lo Mr. llnghitt may reverse the i policy. All wo know now is that Omaha has been deliberately cut oil' from the northwest territory whoso trallie nat urally belongs to bur. It s > eems to us that her interests demand .such guaran tees a > einnot : be reversed by any changes pi the management of the Chicago & Northwestern. Tlio Kree TeM Hook t'roblom. The free le\t book question resolves it- &elf pimply into this : All the money at lliu disposal of the school board is need ed for MM la rii's of leachers , the purchase of .school lots niul the building and fur nishing of school houses. The only way in which the hoard c.iu provide for five text books is by a .special tax levied for that purpose through tae council. Now , we doubt very much the propri ety of any .such special las at tlie presenter or for some years to come. Omaha is n growing city and her needs in every di rection for material improvements , .such as water supply , sewerage , police and lire protection , street cleaning , etc. , en tail a heavy burden upon the properly owners , even apart from the special taxes levied for paving and grading. Jt is , in fact , desirable that for many years we .should bo relieved entirely from local school tax. Our revenue from licenses and lines , with the state school tax ap portionment , should cover the entire cost of school management. The main object of free text books is to relieve the poor und people of limited means from the outlay for the purchase of school books. A largo proportion of this class do not educate their children above tlio primary grades. Probably not more than ten per cent , of the grammar school iinil le s than ten per cent , of the high school attendants belong to the class that cannot afford to buy their own school books.Vlry not make a begin ning in tlie free text book effort with the primary grades next year , and leave the higher grudos until tlio board is in con dition to extend the system , if it seems advisable. The text books for the pri macy grades are not uvpnn < iivu. The board probably can lay aside money enough to supply these books without asking for a special las levy If thu ex periment proves a success , after a fair trial , the ways and means m ly bo found to include all grades.Vodo not heliovo thut the council will bo jnstiliod in levy ing 11 special ta < for free text books. Tin : objects of the citizens' league or ganized List night are commendable. To nnforco existing laws , lo protect tlie young.nnd to engoura u a healthy public Huntimentin lu ! > community , are all alms which desurvu support and to which no one can lake exception. Tlm trouble with law and order leagues in Om-ilia has luun that they began and ended their careers by pas-ing resolutions and call ing 11,1011 the press of the city to cxposo the evils which It was tlnsir own duty to bring to light and cradicato. Tnu HIK : had u little experience of its own in this matter when the high license law first went into olivet , and it .speaks by the card. Wo are inclined to believe that the plan of tin Chiu.i j uili a'is' lengmi as explained in the meeting at IJoyd's opera Homo is the most clV ! out which could bu adopted to further the ends ihnircd. Tint plan is thu em ployment of a special a Jiit with all the authority of a policjtn MI , to rujnrt violations lations of the law and prosucuteo lenders in Ihotiamu of thesoaluty , The trouble before this , has been that business men and ministers shrank from thu unpleas ant nolorlety and unpopularity which active work of this , , kind is curtain to create.Vhutwas everybody's business was nebo ly'.s ' business , and the result was a notable failure. Thu great nviss of ourpooplo tiru haartlly in favor of law and order an.l will sustain any pr.iutical and Kungihlo oll'ort to snuuro the en forcement of thu one unit thu pretiurva. tion of thu other. Tin : Herald Is greatly u ltated bccanso the press of Omaha do not refer to thu projected new railroad aw the "Omaha Northern. " Why should it bo referred to by that name ? Thu "Omaha"North ern" is nothing more nor less than the paper extension of the Missouri Pacillo towards Vaukton , Dakota , and Mr. Me- Shiinu indignantly denies that his project has anything to do with thu projects of that corporation. Th jobbers of Omaha Hi'n not crying for closer rail connection ith Yankton , and thu people of this city urn exhibiting no anxlotv to make dona tions for Hues of rail elsewhere than towards thu northwestern interior of our own state.

We suggest to tlie managers of the Omaha district fair that some such arrangem ml might bo made with the stockmen who make Omaha their headquarters and who arc interested in the stockyards here. A union of Iho stock and business interests in Omaha would tissuru us a permanent exposition at the fair grounds worth having. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Tin : decision of the board of education to soil thu Eleventh street school house and lot is a 'vise one. The school is now only half filled while others are crowded. The location has ceased to be a proper one for a school and residences have giv en way to stores and business houses all around it. The lot is a valuable one and with the proceeds of its sale the board will bo able to provide another school house elsewhere. Thu resolution to sell the lot , which means to discontin ue tlie school at that location , was a pro per and timely one. Rrr.i.'s troubles have ended witli his hanging , but it looks as though Canada's 'roubles were just beginning. The French Canadians and half-breeds will bo blow to forgot the execution of this man.

Jn politics he is a re publican , ol Iho genuine anti-monopol.v typo , and has ju-tly earned a natioua reputation by his hcroculean and tireless cllorts , to secure lor the great mass o his countrymen juilico al the hands o. pooled eapilid. During thu labl .session ol congivns Van Wyck secured the pas sage ot the house bill through tlie sen ate , forfeiting millions of unearned hind grants lo tue government , and thus icslored these lands to the public do main. henalor Van Wyck , is a republican of the Lincoln t.yue ; a man who believes in legislation and huvs tnat wdl secure the grottiest good to the greatest number , Out his republicanism is not of the type which allures the republican editor , ot to-day to his Mipiort. , We think , th.it at least three-lourtlis of the rcpiiulic.ui papers of Nebraska , are to-day opposing v'anV.vek's \ . re-election to tne U. S. sen ate. The < ) iic tion naturally arises , why is this I It is because Van Wyck is lor and of this noople , in tntiir great battle witli the giant power ot consolidated und pooled cauital. Jt is because the rail ways of Niijnibkii icar him and his power to accomplish good for the people they would ensl.tve. For the-'u reasons , they will spare neither pains or money to secure cure and compass uis defeat. There is not the slightest doubt , but what benator Van Wvon lias a stronger hold upon tlie ullections ot all classes of the people of Nebraska , out.-ide ot rail way oilicials. than any otner man in tnu state. It it were left lo ti vote of the puo- pie of Nebniska , as to who they would nave lor U. ti. Senator , Van Wyck would carry the state over any and all competitors by ou.OJl ) majoi.ty. But as tno light is to bo mude , it is very doubllnl whether he will bu returned to tne ueiiali' next year or not. Jn liuil'.ilo county , llirce-tonths of the republicans are lor him and all tlio auli-numopolinis desire his re-election , yet every republi can piiperinthu county is against him and lor "anybody lo bent Van \\yck.

Why ? Because Van Wyck is a friend of tlie toiler and Cunningham is the fawning incnd of railway robber capital. To republicans who have always claimed that they wcro ant ! monopolists in principle , but believed tnat nil the re- loimsthu people demanded , could and would be socurcd through the republican party , we say , now i.s liiu time to make good your ti erlious and bulief , by ral lying 'to tliOBiipport of Van W.vcklothO end that the people , not only of Nebras ka , but of the whole American Union , nmyconlinmt to havu and fearless , liru- hias and invincible advocate in that body. .Senator Van Wyck is a good enough an ti-monopolist for us , because hu in a truu republican , and wu Have never ceased lo hclii-vo in true , genuine republicanism.

Hu wanted to keep him. Then , ns now , a great man's wish was law in a social way. i'ou know there was a time when if Air.
