And yet such a man hits the audacity to
parade his claims upon republicans in n

no other purpose than to disrupt the

TIIK VMTJK < JV A F
At a recent mooting of the city coun
cil the city attorney returned an ordin
ance granting a franchise for the con
struction of a water works plant. , as
"crude , vague and unsatisfactory , which ,
if it is to bo passed , should bo carefully
and completely revised. " That the
construction of the ordinance is faulty Is
not to bo doubted. But what is moat
radically wrong 1,3 the method by which
the franchise is conferred. The time
has passed when the oily should grant
valuable privileges lo individuals or cor
porations without return. The business
of supplying water to the inhabitants of
cities Is recognized as a monopolistic
industry , and , when the municipality
docs not itsulf conduct the operation ,
all possible benefits arising from It
should bo reserved to the citizen.
Franchises for waterworks , gas sup
ply , street car systems and electric
lighting belong all to the same class.
In Baltimore the street railways pay
nine per cent of their gross receipts into
the fund for tlio maintenance of public
parks. Now York has received as high
as forty per cent of the gross receipts in
return for a similar franchise. In Now
Orleans the wuno system is in vogue.
And in eaeh of those caes the duration
of the franchise is limited tea
a comparatively short and def
inite period. A limy municipalities
in ISnghuid louse Die privilege of sup
plying public and private oloctriu lights
lo the highest responsible bidder. In
this way they rotp : a portion of the
profits accruing from the industrial value
of the f ranch ibo.
Wo , In Omaha , have boon giving away
rights worth millions of dollars. A
plivalo portion owning the streets of this
city would undoubtedly exact the high
est possible price for their use. The
ordinary principles of sound business
would require that the city should re
ceive at least a partial compensation for
fr.mehiHcs granted.
< 7Koirm or soirriiKitx CITIES ,
Great as the growth In population of
western cities has been during the past
ton years , a number of cities in the south
have realized a no loss remarkable pro
gress. The population of Memphis In
creased ono hundred and twonty-throo
per cont. Atlanta's inoroaso was ono
hundred per eont. Dallas rolls up fig
ures showing a gain of two hundred and
eighty per cent. Chattanooga's Increase
was ono hundred and forty-eight per cent ,
while Its suburbs also gained heavily.
Fort Worth'H increase was thrco hun
dred and sixty-five per cent , whiln Ulr-
mlughtuu , Alabama , doubtless surpassed
every other city iu the country la the
rate of increase , which Is nearly eight
hundred per eont. Of course uona of
thesooltios has gained as many people
during the pist ton years as the grow
ing cities of the west , Omaha's Increase
hi population since 1830 , for example ,
being greater tlinn the total present
population of the largest of the south
ern cities named , whllo Us per ceat-
ngo of growth was exceeded by
only two of these cities , but btlll the
progress of the principal towns of the
Bouth has been remarkable , under the
circumstances quite as much so us that
of the cities of the west
The fauU are oduociully interesting as
evidence of the changed Industrial con
ditions at the south and the spirit of en
terprise that has b ion developed thorn.
At such centers of trade and Industry as
Atlanta , Chattanooga and Illrmlng-
Imm thcro Is now the saino de
votion to material prosperity that dis
tinguishes the moro enterprising com
munities of the north. This change from
the old order Is largely due , doubtless ,
lo the Introduction ol northern energy
at those points , but It found the people
ready for a change , and now the ambi
tion for material progress and prosperity
is as strong and eager there as In any
other portion of thocountry. Allot these
southern elites have Increased In wealth
far more rapidly that In popula
tion , and very generally they have ob
tained a start that Insures con
tinued progress. 1'artlcularly is this
the case with such Industrial centers as
Chattanooga nnd Birmingham , which
mv surrounded by a country whoso re
sources are almost inexhaustible. Al
ready those cities nro competing with
the older manufacturing centers of the
north , and will certainly do so still moro
vigorously in the futuro. The growth
of these southern cities is a matter of in
terest in connection with a study of the
economic conditions of the country as
showing that all progress is not in ono
direction.
The policy of obstruction which the
democrats in congress evidently intend
to pursue , regardless of consequences ,
they will diseove'1 in duo time to bo a
grave mistake from the point of view of
party interest. Opposition to certain
measures involving vital principles re
garding which the political parties are
divided , carried on by every device
known to parliamentary tactics , may bo
justified , but the American people will
not approve a course that blocks
all legislation and paralyzes
the work of congress. A
great deal of legislation is not at all of a
partisan character , and when the repre
sentatives of a party unite to obstruct
such legislation because of objection to
measures which may properly bo re
garded as partisan , their action will not
be approved by the intelligent , fair and
patriotic faontimenl of the country.
This is the attitude which the demo
crats in cougrjcss are now assuming.
They are incensed at the passage in the
house of the- federal elections bill ,
and by way of revenge they pro
pose to put all the obstruction pos
sible in the way of every thing origin
ating with the majority. A notable in
stance of this reckless spirit was in tlio
case of the resolution requesting the
president to return to congress the bill
In his hands providing for an extension
of the time in which purchasers of lands
on the Omaha Indian reservation in Ne
braska may make payments. The only
Mijcct of this was to correct an error in
the bill , which of course has nothing
whatever to do with politics , but
the democrats saw an oppor
tunity to embarrass the repub
licans and took advantage
of it. It was n small and contemptible
exhibition of spleen , from which there
could bo no reasonable hope of possible
political capital. There was ono other
manifestation of this spirit during the
proceedings at tlio house on Monday ,
and it was made very clear that the
minority have fully determined to pur
sue this policy whenever there is an
opportunity to do so.
Such opportunities will arise , but
under the present rules of the house
they must bo much moro rare than
forinnrlv. sinil In vinw nf tlin snirit , flin
democrats are showing there is very
likely to bo an increase of public sontl-
menl favorable to the now order of pro
cedure under which the opportunities
for obstructing legislation have been
greatly reduced. A great many con
servative republicans have doubted the
wisdom of the policy adopted by the
majority in the house for expediting
legislation , but it finds strong support in
the important legislation already accom
plished , n considerable part of which
would still bo on the calendar but for this
policy , while it finds more emphatic
justification in the present attitude of
the democrats of the house. If this ex
perience should lead to the adoption of
a similar policy in the senate , the minor
ity party in congress will have its own
reckless and impolitic course to blame ,
and it will appeal in vain to the better
judgment of the country for redress.

The selection of Mr. David Campbell
of 1'lattHinouth as clerk of the supreme
court will give general satisfaction. Mr.
Campbell , as county treasurer four years ,
of Cass county , proved hisability for his
new position. Jits integrity has never
been questioned and his loyally to the
parly has always boon manifest. Mr.
Campbell is a comparatively young man ,
yet he has boon prominent in Nebraska
politics for many years.
The retention of Mr. Walter Loose as
his deputy will cause nothing but favor
able comment. The selection of a clerk
has for n long time been under considera
tion by the judgus of the supreme court ,
but the delay has in no way interfered
with the business of the tribunal.
Mr. Lccso , temporary clerk , has given
general satisfaction , and the selection -
lection of .Mr. Campbell only assures
moro speedy disposition of the business
of the office.
The fact that at least n dozen of prom
inent Nebraskans have applied for this
position and baon loft , shows that the
tax-caters are still without occupation ,
and tlio selection of Mr. Campbell em
phasizes the belief that hero of late men
are chosen for places of trust and honor
rather than choosing themselves. Mr.
Campbell is to bo congratulated.
STATISTICS of railroad construction
for the jxist six months show tin inoreiibo
of four hundred and fifty miles compared
with the corresponding period last year.
Nineteen hundred miles of track wcro
completed up to July 1. TJio center of
the greatest activity has temporarily
shifted from the northwestern states to
the Mississippi group , In which fifty-four
percent of the total mileage was con
structed. The significance of this change-
lies In the determination of the corpora
tions to check the agitation for reduced
rates west of the .Missouri rlvor by
abandoning all plans for exten
sions nnd thereby frightening the
Mm
timid. The nfsortlon that a reduc

While Apollo Paul protests his over
whelming love for the gospel of cold
water , Brontoh absorbs the foaming
schooner , tlyly nudges the barkeeper
nnd sets 'em up for the crowd. Mean
while his boom Is exposed to the admira
tion of the guzzllnc throng. Asameatis
of cultivating votes the gnng
which pretends to oppose the
use of money In elections , Is
Hooding the lower wards with beer and
boodle , while pledges nnd promises and
original packages of fifty dollars and
upwards are freely rolled out In the
upper wards. The position .of the Tam
many chief recalls his woful antics last
fall. The result will bo far more
emphatic and disappointing to the com
bine.
THIS Indications are that the confer
ence report on the silver bill will bo
promptly approved by both branches of
congress and that the measure may be
come a law before the close of the pres
ent week. From the statement that the
president will promptly sign the bill it
is to bo inferred that the administration
has given congress to understand that
the agreement reached is acceptable ,
and this is very likely the case. Ad
vices from Washington arc to the effect
that the result reached by the confer
ence is satisfactory to all classes of silver
men , and it is expected the bill will re
ceive a largo majority in both houses.

THE corporate tax shirkers are practi
cally secure for another year. Despite
the tax discriminations pointed out by
TIIK BISK , the under valuations nnd
omissions of the assessors will stand , and
the honest taxpayers must bear the bur

favoritism calls for a very radical rem

Tni : democratic state central commit

PKTK EIUKH.VIJSMII is making himself

far as our observation extends , in nearly
every case the dirty flings have emanated
cither from democratic Journals or from so-
called republicans whoso disposition it is to
continually llnd fault with everything nnd
especially to criticise the actions of those in
ofliuos of public trust. In accord with their
own perverted natures , they nro so ungen
erous as to look upon every well intended
inovo as prompteil by selllsh motives instead
of a sincere doslro to promote the public wel
fare.
Governor Thaycr's past record will boar
the closest scrutiny. Ho has proven n faith
ful , conservative executive , always timely In
moving and acting for the host Interests of
the masses , especially the farmers. IS'o truer
friend of the laboring classes ever occupied
the position which he 1ms so honorably filled ,
and discharged bis duties with the same un
swerving devotion to what lie considered the
proper nnd just course to pursue , than Gov
ernor Tliuycr , notwithstanding the twr-

And the work which wo are Introducing to
you is no cheap or hastily gotten up affair. It
is a better encyclopaedia than can bo bought
elsewhere for three or four times the money.
It has nil the merits of the cclcbmUid Ku-
cyelopaidia Britannicn , oa which It is
founded , with none of its defects. Every
subject discussed In the latest Kngllsh edi
tion will bo found within its pages. The ar
ticles that have been most reduced in length
arc thoio devoted to the subjects in which
the interest of Americana Is necessarily far
less keen than that of Englishmen. No
American , for cxcmplo , wants J * > wade

English county or parliamentary borough.
Ho may want to know where thu country or
borough is , its population , tlio character of
its Industries , Its modern or nutlipto ob
jects of interest ; but , those things told him ,
bis Interest Is nt an end. On the other hand ,
when thu question is of an American state or
city , ho wants to know all about it. It Is to
him what the English county or borough is
to tlio Englishman , and ho nouils to have it
treated in an equally exhaustive manner.
The compilers of the Aiiierlcunl/.ed Kuoyclo-
pudla : Hritannlca have reeognl/.cd this need ,
and , reducing the articles of exclusively
English interest within reasonable limits ,
they have utilized the space thus gained for
the exhaustive treatment , by American ex
ports , of specially American subjects. Nor
is this their only improvement. The origi
nal HriUumlcn Is singularly ilellelcnt in
its biographies. It excludes all mention of
characters living at the ditto-now llfleuu
years past of tliu compilation of Its latest
