The voters of the third judicial district of NobrnplMwlll have a bolter opportun ity to-morrow than has ever before been gHui them to put the seal of their con- dc-mnatlon upon a partiEan judicltiry. If they improve this opportunity and proclaim that they are oppobcd to filling Iio benches of our courts with brawling > oHt1cansJthotttjudielal ! exporieiiKO , without character aa citizens , and Vth } very limited legal attainments na-n who t-cok preferment at the hands of tricksters , party hacks , and political roustabouts , to whom must bo paid the reward of their advancement they will shut out tills clans * of men , probably for ninny years , from attempting to attain judicial positions. If on the other iiand they illlow this opportun ity to pass unimproved the con- bcquonco must bo that judicial positions In this district will henceforth liocomo the prt-y of unscrupulous nhys- tors and that class of alleged lawyers who are willing to trade in politics and make nny bargain with the party man agers that will secure them the coveted pri/u. There is no matter with which the olct'lois of this district have to concern them. ' elves more serious than this in its import to all the interests of tlio people of the district. An intelligent , indo- pondontand upright judiciary is more essential than all else to the safety of the citizen and the security of the stato. It is the safeguard and bulwark against the injustice of ill-considered or evil- designed legislation and against Lho exorcise of executive power that unlawfully oppresses. It is a protection to the whole public against Lho schemes and devices of would-bo boodlers and plunderers , who flourish only where there is \vcak , inefficient , or coi rupt judiciary. All tliia every intelligent - tolligont voter understands , but there ire a great many who do not appreciate iho urgent necessity that always exists to consider carefully who are bostquuli- th'd by ability and learning , through up- ightnossandn judicial temper , to oc cupy positions on the benches of our courts , and the imperative duty to vote for such only. Any citi'/on who in the present .instance does not make this in quiry and caat his vote as ho shall clearly see his own and the general good demands , is unworthy to have the : > rivilogcs of an elector. Tlio BEK has very fully staled ita objections to the partisan ju- ilicial ticlfot. There ig not a man on it who is worthy of tlio confidence of the people of this district , or "who is quali licd to fill meritoriously and acceptably any judicial position , to say nothing of a plnco on the district bench. They arc without exception inferior lawyers whom no person well-infoimed regard ing them would employ in a case in volving a knowledge of law above the requirements of a justice or a police court , and the evidence of this ia in the tact that their professional careers have been failures. It was nn insult to the intelligent republican voters of this district to ask them to uppiovo such men. On the other hand the distinguished jurists who compose the non-partisan ticket are men whoso qualifications no one pretends tends to question , whose integrity is al > ov < j reproach , and who upon every consideration that can be urged havoan undoubted claim tothoconfideneeof the pooplo. These men have made no bar gains with politicians , they will have no heelers and roustabouts to reward , they are bound to no class or clique. Inde pendent of all contaminating surround ings and corrupting influences , they will bo free to administer justice hon estly and impartially , regardless of what individuals or whoso interests maybe bo involved. This is what is expected and required of the judiciary , but it is not to bo looked for , it is impossible , from men who have scoured their posi tions on the bench through political deals. deals.Will Will the voters of the Third judicial district give this matter that serious altontion which its gravoand overshad owing importance demtvnds ? Timmo , 1'ste.Uo and Hancock. The Gorman organ of Ilonest George urges Germans in Douglas county to drop , all party lines and full in foi Timmo , Ustollo and Hancock. Timme ii ) commended to' the"ir Warm atid un divided support solely because he is n Gorman. Ebtollo Is highly cndoreed as a man who has endeared Himself tc free-thinking , liberty-loving people by nolling eighty cases on the "criminal docket before ho stepped down as district attorney , and Hancock is recommended bocau&o he has shown himself to bo equally liberal toward law breakers. This is certainly an elevated standard of public morals. Do the rep utable Germans of Omaha consider in tegrity and competency of no moment when choosing judges for our courtsV Does an irresponsible ward bummer mid dead beat stand higher in their Obti- male as a suitable candidate than up right , honest and capable men like Grort or DoanoV Why should the wholesale letting out of criminals by a prosecuting attorney on the last days of his term make him commendable for the po-ition of judge in the o os of any reputable class of cit- i/onsV Why .should the Goi-mans want tt give a nonentity like Hancock prefer ence ever experienced lawyers and mcr who , by a life of upright conduct , have gained the confidence of the community i Wo are aware that George Timmo if ink-rested in swapping part of the judi ciary ticket with the strikers who pup port the roustabout ticket. He ifa readj to trade anything and with nnylwdy tc got another three years at tiio public crib. But we are very much mistaken if the great mass of Gorman-American voters will abuse their franchise by helping to carry out Thome's trades am bargains.

TO-.MOM'OW1 ! * KlCOltOllri. Kleclions will tnUe place to-morrow ii ton states , beveral of which nro of niv tlonUl importance. Now York will elect state officers , except governor ami Uoutonant-govcrnor , justices of tho. supreme premo court aud members of" the legi * laluro. Pennsylvania will elect a treas urer nnd judge of the supreme court. Ohio will elect a governor and other state officers and the legislature , ns also will Massachusetts , Maryland and Iowa. Now Jersey and Virginia will elect their legislatures. Nebraska will elect a supreme judge and two regents of the state university. Oregon will vote upon three proposed amendments to its state constitution , one of which prohibits the s.nlo of intoxicating liquors. In most of thcso states the campaign has been conducted with great vigor , notably so in New York , Massachusetts , Maryland , Ohio and Iowa. The inter est of both the great parties throughout the country centers upon New Yorktho result of whoso election will bo every where regarded as going far to deter mine the outcome of the national con test next year. If success depended wholly upon party organi/atlon and harmony the chances would bo in favor of the republicans , but the prohibition vote is a quantity wholly uncertain , and there is felt to bo danger in it. It ex ceeded thirty thousand at the last state election and is.expcetod to show a con siderable gain in the election of to-mor row. Nearly the whole of the gain , if any is made , will be taken from the re publican voto. The democrats are not entirely harmonious. The supporters of the national administration have been allowed to manage affairs , but there is no doubt of a con siderable disaffection , though great effort has boon made to conceal it. It is understood that the chief interest of Governor Hil is to secure a democratic semite , and it has been charged that ho was manipulating the state committee , iv majority of which ho controls , with this end in view. There undoubtedly are democrats who will not vote for the entire state ticket , but this class may not bo numerous. The contest iu New York city has introduced a somewhat troublesome complication in to the demo cratic situation which can hardly fail to affect the general result. The most serious question with the democrats , however , relates to the probable extent of the labor vote , four-fifths of which is drawn from that party. It must bo con fessed , that the promise of this vote mak ing any gainer even maintaining the strength it showed lost year , Is not so good as at the outset of the campaign. Divisions have occurred that it ilV very likely be found have proved damaging. Mr. George has not been very successful as a loaderand it will probably bo found that a portion of the labor vote , disappointed and chagrined with these who have at tempted to load It , has gouo back to the democratic camp. An important ad vantage possessed by the democrats is in having the help of both the national and state administrations , with rewards in hand for those who shall merit them. The Ohio election is of national inter est mainly for the reason that demo cratic success there would be regarded as an administration victory. The lines that determine this have _ heen pretty closely drawn. Not only was the demo cratic candidate for governor nominated as a pronounced administration man , but there bos been a pretty plainly manifested hostility to the repub lican candidate on the part of the administration , whi6h has liad. its effect in coloring all the later progress of the compalgn. The original intention to conduct it chiefly on state issues was speedily abandoned , the dem ocratic candidate preferring a broader field of controversy , into which ho hod no difficulty in drawing his adversary. The result has been a discussion ol all the issues dividing the parties , with the sectional question most of the time uppermost. "In Maryland the reform movement has attracted general inter est to the contest , but since the defeat of this movement in Baltimore the in terest has abated , there being very little confidence in the ability of the republicans and independent democrats to defeat the firmly intrenched machine. Tlio situation in Massachusetts has be come more interesting since Butler cast his influence in the democratic scales , but there does not appear to bo any good reason to doubt republican success. Regarding Iowa the question of interest is bimnly with respect to the amount of the republican majority. the Business of the AVcok. Reports of the condition of trade dur ing the past week at all business points of the United States nnd Canada are de cidedly encouraging. The stringency which the withdrawal of the usual east ern remittances produced in the local money market is passing away , and business all over the country is resum ing its normal state. Mercantile collections , railroad tonnage - nago and bank exchanges are the in dices of trade. Thcso for the past week all show an improvement that promises a prosperous winter for the whole coun try. They show that the move ment of crops and produce of all description is more full nnd rapid and that general trade is on u larger scale than during the corro- pponding week of last year. The num ber of failures of the week shows an in crease of fifty-nine ever the same week ot IfabO , but this is duo to the alarm of the month of October and the best judges believe that this week's report will make a bettor showing. Collections are bettor at every point. The delayed payments that characterized business of last month have ceased nnd confidence is steadily strengthening. With reference to this city the re ports of the week an exceedingly grati fying. Not only is there promise that Omaha ih to share in the general pros perity of the country , but there nio in dications of un immediate increase in her business that will carry her far in advance. The real estate mnrkot is re covering from a short period of inac tion. tion.The The bank clearances of the week , which are officially given as $3,202- 011.85 , represent a buij nci-s ever 03 per cent greater than that of the corresponding spending week of last year. This in crease is | n part duo to the marked en largement of ourmoatpacklngfacllitlcs. Within the next sixty days , when the monster packing houses of Armour and Swift shall bo In full operation , the bank exchanges of Omahn will show oven a more marked increase. CostMissioximO'KKr.Ki-'K ' very prompt ly responds to the inquiries which the HKH has proiHJiindcd regarding his al leged overdraft of mileage nnd certain crooked transactions that have boon unearthed In the commissioners' office. Mr. O'Kcoflo's exhibit of relative mile age shows that so far as ho Is concerned there was no overdraft. While con firming the charges made by the UIH : with regard to the allowance of the Southard claim , the mysterious bargain with Nngol , and the outrageous abuse of power in buying railroad tickets , Mr. O'KeefTo exonerates himself by the as surance that all thcso abuses wore com mitted during sessions hold in his nb- sonco. In other words Mr. O'KcolTo fully confirms all that has been charged by tlio BEK against Timmo , and leaves the publlo to draw its own conclusions , IT is now announced , on the authority of M. do Lcssopa , that the Panama canal will bo open by February 8,1890. At that time , ho says , the canal will bo deep enough and wide enough to pass twenty ships a day , and ho did not say this to some casual interviewer , but to the French academy of sciences. Two reasons suggest themselves in explana tion of this confident assurance of the veteran engineer and shrewd old diplo matist. Ono is that ho will soon need more money and it is necessary to encourage - courage investors so that there will bo no reluctance in paying the next in stallment when called for. The other reason is that the growing interest in the Nicaragua canal requires to bo chocked , or that enterprise may materi alize before the Panama ditch is com pleted. We have no doubt do Lessops will get the money , but we hardly think ho can scare off the Nicaragua project. BAtLou points back to 1877 , when the B.EK very reluctantly supported him for probate judge. A man might bo quali fied to bo piobato judge with two hun dred dollars jurisdiction when the county had about thirty-five thousand population , But the fact that ho was snowed under by flvo hundred majority , while the other candidates on the tiokot wore elected by majorities ranging from two to five hundred , shows that even theo the people regarded Ballou as unfit for any judicial position. The probate court in these days was no bettor than a justice court isut this time. OUT of $655 in railroad tickets given away by the county commissioners in six weeks only 830 worth was purchased on Commissioner OTCeelTo's endorse ment. Six hundred and thirty dollars' in railroad tickets were generously dis tributed among the friends of Tirarac.

St. Paul Globe : Henry Romelko is a recent comer to the republic , but ho is as bright , sharp and ready for emergen cies as if ho breathed from birth the breezes of Columbia. Mr. Romciko is a young man and has set out to make his lifo useful by supplying his follow mon with information about themselves. This knowledge that ho supplies to his subscribers is taken entirely from the nowh | ipers and is for sale at $5 per 100 clippings. Novelists , poets , priests , politicians , scientists , lawyers , physici ans , and men of the worm eeok Romoiko nnd ho religiously forwards to them whatever of laudation or abuse a free and untrummeled press may con tain. tain.Romoiko's Romoiko's debut in the singular busi ness of which he was the pioneer was brought about , not by chance , but by a venture made when uothingelso scorned in sight. Ho was born in Russia some thirty years ngo , and after acquiring a good education and a love for the good things of tliia life , ho journeyed through Europe. Time at last FOUND HIM IN I'AKIS , and saw him frittering away many happy but costly hours , until one morn ing in January , 1881 , ho had to face the question of existence. Only u few francs jingled in his pocket , and as Romeiko wandered about that day ho did considcrrble thinking. There was nothing for him to do in Paris , and ho curiously speculated how the whole affair would turn out , Ho stopped at the news stand of an old woman and aimlessly turned over her journals and periodicals. While BO oc cupied an old gentleman , whom ho rec ognized us a French artist , stopped at the booth ami paid a franc for a paper that Romeiko know f-old for a few sous. RCurioua to know why the old man should pay the extra rate , he inquired of the woman and found that the artist had commissioned nor to save all periodicals and newspapers containing references to himself or hia pictures , and that ho paid her a franc for each ono. "Hoie is an idea , " thought Rorneike. "Why cannot this bo carried out on a larger scale ; there must bo many people in this world besides the Fronc'h artist who would like to read about tliem- solvoa. " On the next day Romoiko was on his way to England. When ho arrived in London ho invested , all the money ho pould , spare in recent art publications. He sat down , wont ever them carefully , clipped all por&onal references and chiss'i- iled them. Then ho started from artist to artist ana unfolded his scheme. It was asuccebs. His clippings wore bought and commissions in advance given. As fortune smiled on Romoiko he took an office , and as the possibilities of the business became apparent ho widened its seopo and took in everybody. All the great English politicians be come subscribers , and to thorn were added nearly all who were prominent in literature , arts and science. Earl Derby had Romoike compile all the available contemporaneous data on the colonia question. "Buckshot" Foster nought information on the condition of Ireland and Karl Spence was anxious to bo in structed on Parnoll nnd home rule. Mrs. Ulood , mother of Lady Colin Campbell , availed herself of the bureau and in ono clipping sued for libel and recovered JCoOO. The Salvation army was the first client of the bureau. Komoiko became the rage , and the newspapers used him as a fruitful theme and parliamentary sneakers quoted him. Ho sent out circulaisto all walks in lifo with a Hories of questions : "Why have you failed in lifo'i" ' Men who re ceived the circular were indignant , but the whole kingdom talked and wrote letters about the question. Ho or ganized bureaus in Paris , Vienna and Berlin , and to crown all , was mada the hero of the novel , "A Primrose Dame. " England became monotonous and ho longed for America ! A well known wholesale grocer In Now York had been hibclient in England , and on re turning hero hnd suggested Romoiko's plan to Samuel Lcavitt , the well known i-ooial reformer and writer on economic subjects. Mr. Loavitt inaugurated the bureau and after porno time Romoike himself came from England , and the bureau , is now fairly launched.

Another circular warning people against voting mixed tickets under teinblii penalties has been industriously circulated iu Wash ington , Unit aud Saipy counties. An Exploded RoorlmcV. A few days ngo the non-pnrtisan Judiciary committee of the third district hail u lot of tickets printed , headed "Non-Partisan Judges. " Printed thercCn wcro the repub lican state , the non-partisan Judlcl.il , and the republican county tickets. Tlieso tickets were senate Hurt county and there distributed by a prominent republican from Tckomnu. When this gontlcnmn returned from the country precincts ho was threatened with prosecution by some of tuoTckuuiah bulldoz ers who insisted that those tickets were Illegal nnd would not bo counted for candi dates on the county ticket. Alarmed by thcso threats the distributer of the tickets finally persuaded the rampant partisans to Judge Lake for n written opinion. Thieo prominent republicans accordingly came to Ouuilm ypstordny and submitted the matter U > Juftgo Lake , who gave them an opinion In writing , which very emphatically pronounced thcso tickets in no w.iy contrary to law , and declared that they were JUst as legal as any straight party ticket nnd every nnmo on the ticket , whether state , counto or Judicial would bo credited to the candidate for whom It was cast This docs away with n bugbear which has doubtless been worked for all it was worth in every county of the district. Tl > o Ticket All Straight. The following correspondence is self-or- planatory : EDWARD W. SIMRRAL , esq , county attor ney Dear Sir : It is being claimed by some persons that you have given an opinion to the oiTcct that under section 115 of the election law a "mixed ticket , " or tickets rnado up of names fiom the icgular tickets of the parties is not permitted and that part of the names on Bueh "mixed tickets" must bo rejected. As this is contrary to the accepted construc tion of that section , I rcspccUully ask that you will state whether you hnvo been cor- i colly quoted. The proposed non-partisan Judicial ticket , for instance , Is headed "Non- Partisan Judges" and contains the republi can state and county tickets and the names of the Judges on the democratic ticket , recom mended by the citbens meeting as nonpartisan san judges. Is or is not that proper , and can all the names on the ticket bo piopcrly counted for the respective otllocs ? CI.IMON N. 1'owRi.L , of the executive 'onimittco. CLIXTON N. Pern EM , , ESQ Dear Sir : It answer to your letter , I would say that by "mixed ticket" is meant tickets hc.wlcd "Re publican , " with the name of n dumocratui candidate for some ollleo printed Instead of the regular nominee of the icpubllcan paity. The ticked headed "Non-1'nrtu.nn Judges" IB pei foetly legal , because it has a designated head , and so , any ticket with a particular heading wodld bo legal , us ) "Mugwump" ticket.
