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.

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

The bank clearances of the week ,
which are officially given as $3,202-

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

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

The Champion Clipper.
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. Nearly
four thousand nowspaper.s nro clipped
from , and a large stall is busy compiling
the clippings.
Among tlio American clients of the
bureau are men in all walks of lifo , a
largo numlxir of corporations and
writoi-H on s ] > eelal subjects.

every ono of them has been onrntutlv mid

and tlio solid vote of that paity alouo ntsuics

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.

The following correspondence is self-or-

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 ?

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"
