HOWAIID has been assigned

COUNCILMAN TIIIIANI : will get there.
Honest , capable and ulliulenl , lie possesses
the very qualifications which appeal to
tlui support of respectable voters in llio
First ward.
Tun Fourth ward can bo depended
upon to return W. F. IScchol to tlio coun
cil by a rousing majority. Hard work
and two years experience with the wants
of his ward are arguments wnich oven
Mr. Garneau's money cannot overcome.
OMAHA Knights of j abor have endorsed
the cool an < l clear-headed Powderly. If
the southwest had been under tlio direc
tion of the master workman some weeks
ago , thousands of mechanics and laborers
would not now bo hunting work as the
result of the late strike.
A CHICAHO man , who spoke profanely
of Sam. Jones , by saying , "Jones bo
( I d , " lias been taken into custody on
a charge of insanity. The Young Men's
Christian association , by whom the
charge was preferred , might find other
similarly insane men in the wicked city
of Chicago.
IP the democratic candidate for coun
cilman in tlio Second ward knows what
is good lor him ho will not permit the
bushwhacking Herald to maliciously
misrepresent his opponent. This is a
friendly pointer to Mr. ( iarvey to post
the Herald on his own record. Ho should
have attended to this matter immediately
after his nomination.
THE Herald opens its mud-battory on
? * f.l.I ! : K'asp'ar , and says that a third can
didate will bo put in the field to keep the
respectable republicans from voting for
Garvoy. This is as near to the truth as
the Herald generally gets. No third can
didate will bo necessary to assist Mr.
Kaspar. lie will got the solid republican
Tote. So far as respectability is con
cerned , ho stands ready to .compare
records with his opponent.
TIIU taunt of the Herald that Kaspat
runs a bar , reminds us of the remarkable
debate between Lincoln and Douglas ,
The "Little Giant" charged Lincoln with
having tended bar at one time. "Yes,1
said Lincoln , "and when I was behind
the bar my friend Douglas was almosl
always in front of it. " This applies
literally to the two candidates for the
council. Kaspar is a man whom nobody
in Omaha has over scon drunk , and Pui
Garvoy is a man whom very few people
have ever scon sober.
THE Herald has crocodile tears to shci
for Ed , Lceder , whom the bosses want tc
use to pull Pat Ford through for re-clcc
tion. Had Locdor been nominated as was
Pat Ford's design , the Herald would have
truthfully charged that Lccilor is not c
resident of the Third ward , and if elected
could not legally qualify. Pat Ford saiii
this publicly.when ho expected thatLoedci
would bo his opponent. Tlio only tours
that are shednowoverLeedor's dofeatan

Dr. Miller. That little game of "heads 1

It Is Trno ?
Is It true , ns stntcd In political circles In
Washington , that Senator Van Wyck had a
contract with the president to vote nitftlnst
Ids party on the third resolution of the Ed
munds' Judiciary committee , nnd to cairy
enough republicans with him to defeat his
party ? It Is true that what looks like a con
spiracy failed.
Is It trim that In consideration of such
action thft president agreed to save Van
Wyck's friends now In ofllco nnd to throw
him seine moro sops ? It Is turn that , If any
such contiact existed , Van Wyck failed to
deliver the goods.
Did that failure account for Van Wjck's
exhibited and marked nervousness on the
night of the passage of the resolutions ? * *
Is It title that Lieutenant Colonel D.itchct-
dor , of WnshiiiBton , Infoiincd Senator 1'latt ,
ot Connecticut , that Mich n contract existed
and that the administration was sure of n
victory , and Is mortllled nt Its defeat ?
Theio nro aoino questions nt the top of this
column. Will the UIK nnswcr them. llc
Wo do not pretend to bo Senator Van
' . Ho ' brass
Wyck's keopor. wears no ono's
collar , nnd ho- does not report to this
ollico what ho does or docs not do at
Washington. His olllcinl career is open
to his enemies ns well as to his friends.
It is a trite saying that any fool can ask
questions which the wisest of mon cannot
answer. Substitute the word knave for
fool in this case and the task becomes
still more dilllciill.
Is it true that Van Wyck knocked down
Mr. Kdnumds with a club in a buck alloy
and robbed him of his watch nnd pocket
book ? Is it true that President Cleveland
was closeted at Vnn Wyck's house for three
homy after midnight last Tuesday , nnd
cnmo away with his lint jammed down nnd
his cars covered by his shirt collar ? I.s
it a fact that Major ( lonural lihnulcrhuss
told Admiral Windbag that ho heard Son-
ntor lliddloborgor , while under the influ
ence of Virginia cornjuiuo , confess that
Van Wyclc had slipped iu a cold poker
deck on him at their hist friendly sitting in
the senate cloak room , and raked in n $15
jack pot ? Is it true that with all those
scandalous stories nlloat in the political
suburbs of the capilol , Vnn Wyck does
not immediately surrender himself to
General McCook , the sergeant-at-nrms of
the senate , with n request Hint he should
bo denlt with as leniently as possible ?
We arc aware , of course , that Van Wyck
is in very bad odor in the political circle
that has its circumference in the commit
tee room of Senator Mandcrson. Wu arc
aware that a great many terrible tales
about Van Wyck's political depravity arc
concocted in that locality and spread
broadcast by wire and mail through this
state. It is doubtlessly true that this
literary bureau , presided over by Jim
Laird's former clerk and Gore's former
assistant , is trying very hard to carry
out the contiact for besmirching and
lampooning Van Wyck. It is trom
this political circle that tlio dispatches
about Van Wyck's treasons and con
spiracies have been pouring into the
Itcimblican , Lincoln Journal , and Jim
Laird's Hastings Tin Can. Senator
Mandcrson probably does not know that
this bushwhacking campaign is being
carried on under his nose , otherwise we
should bo tempted to ask how he could
countenance such disreputable assaults
l.o 'Ol.t.tmia
Upon i. . , . " iv.lii-.0 _ .
With regard to the question ns to Van
Wyck's alleged contract with Grover
Cleveland wo are confident tliat there is
not n word of truth in it. It
is of a piece with all the
other contemptible libels that bave
been coined by the monopoly press con
cerning Van Wyck. Ho never can and
never will do anything that they would
approve. The fact that he supported all
the Edmunds resolutions , except the
third , has dumbfounded them. They were
anxious to show that ho is a traitor to his
party , and they arc bound to convict
him , if manufactured evidence nnd
brazen-faced lying will do it. We have
been told that the third resolution , which
Mr. Vnn Wyck refused to support , was
the essence of them all. If this is true it
is very strange that other ie-
publican senators , notably Messrs.
Merrill and Hoar , declared in
the caucus , held since their
adoption , that they did not consider
themselves bound by the third resolution
to refuse confirmation of appointments ,
but merely voted for it as a matter of
form. Senator Van Wyck took the more
manly course of voting against the prop.
osition which ho considered impolitic and
liable to establish a precedent which
would react upon the republican party
to its disadvantage.
The Itcpubllcnn City Ticket.
The ticket nominated by the republi
cans in Omaha is in every respect worthy
of the united party support. The caudi *
dates are men of known integrity and
good citi/.ons. Without saying one word
against the opposition , wo can fairly
challenge comparison.
Mr. Thrnno , of the First ward , is a man
who , during his four years service in the
council , has been above suspicion , He is
as honest as the day is long. Ho is now
familiar with the wants of his ward and
the city , knows tlio ropes in the council
chamber and conimHteo room , and will
make a useful ns well as n reliable conn
oilman. The First ward can do no better
than return Mr. Thrnne.
The candidate of the Second ward ,
Mr. Frank Knspar , is an enterprising
and industrious citizen. Ho has acquired
considerable property by hard work and
shrewd investments. In the only posi'
tiou ho has over tilled as a member ot
the police force some years ago ho was
roputcd to bo ono of the best men on the
force fearless , Yigil t , honest and
hobor.
The Third ward Is to bo congratulated
on the nomination of Mr. Adolph Bur-
muster. Ho is among our oldest citizens ,
an honest , hard-working mechanic , who
s rospootod by everybody who knows
him , If elected , as ho will bo , thn Third
ward will have a member in the council
who will carefully guard the interests of
tlio city nnd work faithfully for the ward.
Mr. Heehel's nomination in the Fourth
ward was nn endorsement ot an ofliciont ,
honest and reliable public oDlcial. Mr.
Itcchol is fairly entitled to this endorse
ment at llio hands of hid constituents. In
spite of the malicious assaults made on
him by porsonnl enemies , the fact stands
out boldly that during his term the
Fourth ward hns scoured moro costly and
solid improvemeuts tlian during any six
years previous. Mr. Bcchol does not
claim the credit for all this work , but ho
certainly was instrumental in securing n
largo portion of it , His business qualities
and political consistency no body will
dare disputo. His opponent , Mr. Gar-
nuun , IK a good cllizcu , but there is no
reason why preference should be given to
him over Mr. ttechcl , who is fairly enti
tled on his record to a second term
Mr. Charles Cheney , the republican
candidate In the Fifth ward , is a new
man in public life , but he is vouched for
by those who know him best , ns nn Intel'
ligcnt , honest and bright young mechanic ,
who will represent the Fifth ward with
lidclity and ability.
The Sixth ward republicans have
chosen Mr. F. W. Manville , whoso elec
tion , in that stalwart republican ward ,
may bo regarded as assured. Mr. Man-
vlllc , like Uurmcstcr and Cheney , is a
mcchnnic. Ho is well known to the resi
dents of the Sixth ward , where he has re
sided for many years , us an honest and
industrious worklngmnn.
ji Illiintlor Somewhere.
The next council will ptobably be presided
over t > y Mr. Thomas Lowery , alderman from
the Hist ward. llcmW.
That depend * upon whether Mr. Uoyd
will be able to boss the next council. Mr.
Lowery may bo competent to preside
over tlio council , but it is not customary
to jump now coiineilmen over the heads
of old ones. How do Uailoy and Goodrich -
rich , who are both good enough demo
crats , like this programme ? Are they
willing to take a back heat in order to
please the bosses ?
But why should Mr. Lo\vory bn made
president of the next council over nn ele
gant ana polished member liku Pat Ford ?
Isn't Ford to bo elected dead sure ?
Wouldn't the next council naturally take
Ford , an old ward horse , in preference to
Lowery ? Besides all this , the president
of this council will have to net us mayor
every limo Mr. Boyd goes to Chiengo ,
nnd Ford would bo a substitute whom
Mr. Doyd could trust with the afl'airs of
stnte. Pat Ford , ns mayor of Omaha ,
would lay himself out to do the honors of
the city when guests wore here from
abroad. Wo don't object so much to
making Lowery president of the council
and acting mayor as wo do to haying Put
Ford.snubbed io unkindly by his admiring
friends. Surely , Dr. Miller could not
have written that cruel paragraph. Ho
wouldn't slop over iu that way if ho know
himself.
The School Hoard Ticket.
While wo desired that the nominations
for members of the board of education
should bo non-partisan , wo arc glad to
note that the republican school board
ticket is one that members ot both par-
tics can support. It is without excep
tion composed of excellent material.
Hev. W. K. Copeland has been a very
cflieicnt member of the board , and his
rcnominntion is a deserved compliment
nnd endorsement.
Mr. T. W. Blackburn hns resided in
Omaha for seven or eight years. Ho is
well qualified for the position , being a
graduate of the state normal school.
Mr. H. J. Davis is among the bright
est of our young attorneys. His fitness
for the position is unquestioned. Among
those who know him best in this city ho
is esteemed as a man of sound judgment
and high intellectual attainments.
The democratic nominations are about
the average. Mr. Gibbon , who has been
rcnominatcd , is a first class business man
nnd hns made a good member of the
board. Mr. Philip' Ar : : ' ! < * lR a"10"2 thc
most respected of our German-Americans.
Ho is a trained educator and well quali
fied for thc position. Mr. K. F. Moriarty
is n young lawyer of more than average
talent.
Tun successful engagement of four
performances of the Boston Ideal Opera
company , attended by crowded houses ,
shows that Omaha hns quite outgrown
her old theatrical reputation ns a "one
stand town. " Our citizens know n good
thing dramatically when they sec it , and
the city has now a sufficient theatre-
going population to make it an object
for the best troupes and companies to
court its favor. In times past Omaha
has frequently lost the most popular at
tractions because managers were not
confident that the city would give finan
cial support to a running engagement.
Companies with largo quantities of
scenery and fixtures could not afford to
pack and unpack for a single perform
ance , und so passed us by. Things have
changed a great deal in the past live
years. To-day Omaha is considered one
of thn best of interior cities from a box
office view. Manager Boyd is able tc
secure the best that comes , and to fill his
theatre from parquetto to gallery when
ever the attraction is a first-class one.
Mil. JOE GAUNKAU is a young man of
good address and good intentions , but in
experienced in everything but tying n
wfdto necktie properly and selling an OX'
collent quality of soda crackers , He
should bo left to the performance of the
duties for which he is best fitted.
THE free delivery of four or five hun
dred abusive papers to citizens of the
Fourth ward will bo n very useless out
lay for the benefit of Mr. Garnoau. The
personal grievance of a soro-hcadcd oil
itor against Bechel does not concern the
voters.
Now is the time for the people of
ha to make a strike for the improvement
of the city council. They can do it by
electing the six republican candidates ,
who compose 0110 of the best council-
manic tickets over nominated.
WOMEN may vote for members of the
board of education , and an eflbrt is being
made to bring out n largo force of them
at next Tuesday's election. Their motto
is , "May the best looking man win. "
Mil , JOSEPH GAUNKAU is nn eminent
success ns a cracker manufacturer , and
the people on next Tuesday will endorse
him as such by electing Mr. Bechol to the
city council.
Wu wonder if Dr. Miller will hire the
opera lionso and make another .speech in
behalf of the Hon. P. Ford ? it is to bt
hoped that he will.
THE republican ticket for tho'council
is without n Haw , People who have the
welfare of the city at heart can take Ihnl
ticket straight.
J. Srr.uusG MOHTOK continues to got
in his work at Washington , while Dr ,
Miller is in Omaha working in the inter
est ot P. Ford.
THE low dives and dens will nil vote
for Pat Ford in the Third ward.
DON'T fail to register.

"A slight pcrverfion j > r distortion of the
truth In n nowspnppr"diMission of poli
tics , " says the llcpitbhcan , "may not bo
unprecedented or utile kcd for , but when
it comes to matters o business , public
journals should toll th truth about each
other. " That is emii1 ently sound doc
trine , nnd the flcpttblican should practice
what it preaches. It docs nothing of tlio
kind , however , as wo can easily prove by
facts and figures. In its attempt to
show that the HEIJ'S . "boasted raise of
wages was a verjf onoap demagogical
trick , " it wilfully ifublhihcs several misstatements -
statements , and charges us with "brazen
and wanton falsehood , "when , onVridny
last , wo made the statement that the
average dally composition on the Dm :
was 180,000 cms , of which fully 100,000
cms were paid for at night rates , and
that this increased our composition bills
from $1,500 to $1,800 a year. The lie-
publican then adds :
Tlio amount of composition done for the

It will bo seen that instead of setting
180,000 , cms per day , as wo first stated ,
without referring to our books , the Bnn
sets 191,200 ems per day , of which IM.iJOO
cms nro night composition. It should bo
borne in mind that this statement does
not include the composition on special nd-
vortisomcnts. such as wants , for rent , for
sale , &c. This would materially increase
the number of oms.
The Increase in the price of composi
tion , which was voluntarily made , raises
the rate from 30 con''on day work to ! W
cents , and from 33 "cents on night
work to 35 cents.- This amounts to
an average in crease 'of $3. 88 per day , or
§ 1,211.08 per year. Agajn , it should bo
berne in mind , Ihat.Uliiring certain
seasons of the year , tlio BEE sets con
siderably more type than during the
period quoted. It is sa'fo to say that the now
rate will increase our composition bills
over § 1,500 , as wo first slated. There is
considerable dilVerouce , between $1,500
and $024. i
If the voluntary raiso'of wages in thc
BEE olllee , which II.IB resulted in the in-
m-nosn _ of. the prittprs , ; pajy in. all thc
newspaper offices ofOmaha , " is a "cheap
demagogical Irick" the JlC2ntblicancn.ii
