The message of Mayor Gushing to the
city council , calling attention to the nec
essity of vedistriellng nnd largely In
creasing the polling places of tlio city ,
should rocolvo vareful conslderullon nnd
ftuornblo niitloii. It Is a well known Mot
that under present conditions It isutturly
impossible to poll the full vote of the clly.
Kven K It were possible to bring nil voters
ers to the polls and ballots wore offered
steadily from the opening to the close ,
it would hi ) a physical impossibility ,
with comiKitent and nellvo judges nud
clerics , to accommodate all voters in a
majority of the wards.
At the clly obotloii lust December less
than thirteen thousand votes were cast
out of u total registration of seventeen
thousand four hundred and forty-five.
Thousands Of voter. ! wore pr.iet ioally dis
franchised at that election , owing to the
inability of the polling olllccr.s to handle
the ballots olTored , especially during the
noon nnd dosing hours. The issued In
volved in the comiiiL'state election uro of
sin'h Importance that It is certain the
registered vote and Iho vote east will ex
ceed twenty thousand. Provision must
be made to handle this number without
cMTuvdlng or confusion , arid give the
judges nnd clerks reasonable time. Wo
must avoid the rush by limiting the
number of voters to each poll.
The registered vote by vnrds nt the
city election wis as follows :
First ward . ' . . . 2,021
Stvoinl wanl ' . ' .JtT.I
1'liiril ' ward 2,751
Fi'UUtli wuril ' . ' , : ! < )
Fifth ward L'.O'.W
sixth ward. . . . , lir ! ; l
Seventh ward 1,2s *
KiKhtli ward 1,170
Ninth ward 1,1:1 , " )
The First and Sixth wards each have
three polling places , the remainder two
each. The Third ward , with the larg
est registered list In the city , has only
t\vo \ pulling places , a number jiltorly In-
Miitllclctit to accommodate the voters.
Taking1 twenty thousand as the basis
of the city vote next Novo mbcr , it gives
nn average of nliira hundred and llft.y-
two votes to oneh of the twonty-ono polls
established nt present. To pall this
vote the judges must handle an nvei-iigo
of ono and a half votes per minute an
impossible tislc : under the presc'iit reg
istration law.
In determining the limit of votes to
each poll , the council should take In to con-
( " [ deration the cumbrous system of regis
tration. The time required to llnd the
voters' namcils an Important factor , nnd
in addition the judges at eneh poll nt
the state election will have at least 11 vo
separate ballot boxes to look tifter. Al
lowance must bo inndo for challenges
and the time lost in answering questions.
It is easy to see that in few if any polls
an average of one vote per niluuto can
be cast , and the immbiii * of votes to tlio
poll must bo limited to leMsthun six hun
dred ,
The experience of larger cities , with
bettor laws , is that an average of four
hundred votes to the poll Is all that can
be readily fiandled and afford citizens
and olliclals relief from the confusion of
crowding. The number of polling places
In Omaha should therefore be increased
to fifty to meet the emergency. The in
creased cost is Insignificant compared
with the facilities nilbru'cd to secure a
complete expression of public sentiment
at the ballot box on vital issues aud in
sure a prompt count of tlio voto.
DKF1XIXO AX UltiaiXAL PACKAGE.
The liouso of roprcsoiitlvcs will vote
today on the original package bill
which has heon under discussion for sov-
ernl days. Of the several measures
that have been proposed It is uncertain
which if any will puss. For the Wilson
bill , which passed the senate , providing
simply thatintoxluatlng liquors imported
into a state to bo sold or used there
should bo subject to the Inwsof the state ,
the judiciary committee of the house re
ported a substitute providing
that all urtlelcs of com
merce going into a state should bo sub
ject to its laws. A very strong report
accompanied this bill , but itlws not met
with very extended approval for the
reason that It is held to go much farther
than the necessities of the situation re
quire. Still it has received vigorous ad
vocacy .in the house on the ground that
if congress Is going into legislation of
this sort It should make It thorough.
Another measure , while providing that
liquors Hhall bo subject to state lawn , de
fines what shall constitute au original
pnelcngc. It wiys that sucli puclf-
ngo of intoxicating liquor , In bottles
tles , shall bo a enso containing - -
ing not less than ono dozen bottles
tles , and nn original package of liquor
not in bottles filial ! contain not less than
live gallons. This applied only to liquor
in3ilo In this country , that imported from
any1 foreign country to bo still subject as
to quantity to the laws relating to duties
uKm ) Imports.
This last measure has a strong sup
port , particularly from the representa
tives of city districts , nnd Its biibstitu-
tion for the other measures Is not Im
probable. It ib corlninly important , if
tlioro Is any legislation on this subject ,
that It shall clearly define what shall
constitute an original package. It has
boon hold by some able lawyers that an
original paulcago , within the moaning of
the opinion of the supreme court of the
United States in the Iowa case , Is-a
pickago In which liquor is ordi
narily transported for commercial
purposes from state to state , such as iv
barrel of gin , a keg of beer , or a case of
brandy or champagne , But every ju
dicial decision upon this question , so far
asvo have observed , has hold that a
single bottle or llask , no matter how
small , was to bo regarded as an original
package. In view of the fact that in the
Iowa ease the boer offered for sale was
la one-eighth and one-quarter barrels
and sealed cases there is certainly good
reason for assuming that the su
preme court did not Intend that
n bottle or llnsk should ho considered an
original package , but since there U di
versity of opinion as to this nnd the supreme -
promo court may not soon have ar oppor
tunity to make n dollnltion , it will bo
well for congress to include ono in any
legislation it limy enact on this subject.
Under such a law us is proposed the
original package business would be very
promptly suppressed.
The census bureau expects to have the
record of population completed ao that
congress may be enabled to frnme. nn
apportionment bill by ArgiiHt 1 , nnd
doubtless a mcns.trovlll bo ready for
introduction by that time. It la very
properly urged lhat Ibis work should , It
possible , bo completed nt the present
suasion , tm important reason for prompt
action being , as suggested by the Is'ow
Yorlr 'J'ritiunc ' , that whatever In
crease In representation the now
slates may bo entitled teen the bnsls of
their population In IS)0 ! ) , they ought to
be enabled to enjoy earlier Hum Decem
ber 1 , 1S93. It would bo a great Injus
tice to refuse to adjust the representa
tion to the population until moro than
three years after the taking of the cen
sus , if such delay cnn bo avoided , If the
apportionment is not made at this session
it will not take cll'ect until members of
congress sire elected two years hence ,
who will not meet and organize until
the winter oMS02.
If thet'o-ls a fch'ict and impartial al-
lolmont of members according to popula
tion the task of adjusting a now appor
tionment will not be dllllcult. The Im
pression is that thcro will beno material
increase of the number of membord In
the house , experience having shown that
tha number la iilready to largo as to Im
pair the ollleleiiey of the house
for work or deliberation. Some
opinions Insist that tlioro would
TJO no disadvantage hi largely
iiici-caslni. the membership , supporting
this view by pointing- the much more
numerous Itrillsh liouso of commons.
Very lllcely the representatives of states
which will make no gain from nnincroaso
in the ratio of representation will bo
found advocating this view and Insisting
that the ratio Hindi not be much larger
than now. Hut tlio largo majority will
doubtless favor an apportionment which
will prevent si ma'terinl Increase in the
membership of the hotlso during
the next ten years. It is not only a
question whether the olllcloncy of the
house for work and deliberation would
suffer from materially enlarging its
membership , but tlioro vould bo the
necessity of finding other quarters forit ,
the hall of the house not having accom
modations for many additional members.
It is probable that in making the now
apportionment congress will provide for
remedying the unjust arrangement of
congressional districts hi several states
and nlbO for the prevention
of gerrymanders. Legislation of this
sort is demanded. . It Is expected that
the new census will increase tbo repre
sentation of nil the surely republican
slates , with the single exception of
Maine , and tbo western states will bo
the largest gainers under the now ap
portionment.
A JUDIOIAT , determination of the
boundary line between Omaha and South
Omaha is a matter of importance to
both. As long as the present dispute
exists , public improvements between
the two cities will bo seriously retarded ,
nnd the coiiillet of authority will impede
the enforcement of municipal laws. The
lognl ofllcials of both eitiesshould there
fore agree on submitting the question
involved to the tmprouio courljniidurgo
tin early decision.
TIIK Insinuatioa that certain South
Omaha counclhncii made away with con
slderablo corporation swng Is the Inven
tion of nn enemy. The high character
of the city dads , coupled with their rec
ords as municipal legislators and con
tractors , lift them above the influences
of worldly dross and render them imper
vious to boodle. Away with the ftlander
and slanderers.
IT is a significant fact that the ex
posure of quacks and impostors by 'tho
press invariably calls forth a deluge of

account of the destruction of a silver caster ,
hanging lamp , rich rugs , etc. , rather than

MR. POlMMuKTONS' OPINION.
OMAHA , July 10 , To the Editor of THIS
Iii ) : With reforonuo to tbo proposition to
extern ! the charter of the American water
works , it is to bo hopo.l that tlio citi/ens of
Omaha will not ho BO blind to the unmistak
able signs of the timoj a i to permit the ex
tension upjn any consideration. The city
can botteralTord to p.iy for theoxtrn hydrants
needed than to extend the franchise for other
twelve years. As City Attorney Poppleton
buys in Ids excellent report on the petition
forufiiini'liItoUi another company , recent
Investigations show tlio wisdom of municipal
ownership of all lighting , water supply and
public transportation.
The interest manifested throughout Iho on-
tlro country in the recent magazine articles
describing tliomuiiicipulsy.stoinsof Olasgow ,
Birmingham and llcrlln , tlio latter of which
was copied In Tin : HKI : of Juno ! > , shows that
tlio time is rlpo for what some one has called
municipal socialism. A comparison of
tbo clectrlo liirhtlng In Iho vaiious cities
of America published In TIIK HKI.several ;
months ago proves pretty clearly that it is to
tliu ndvantngo of cliliu to own and operate
their own plants.
To any ono who has talked on this subject
with tlio business men and the people in gen
eral , it Is abundantly evident tint a great
change has como over public opinion , not only
with respect U > municipal ownership of the
various systems , but also with respect to gov
ernment ownership of the railroads and tclo-
gnuihs.
Making every allowance for "boodlo , "
which soenis to have become so common ni to
excite no surprise , not to spcu'c of hearty ,
wlmlo-soulod coutoinpt , it ntlll remains that
the advantages ho with public ownership and
that the day for private or corpjr.ito control
of municipal systems U rapidly parsing away.
