CRITICISM.
Census Enumerator 1'orlor is down
Iclc. Tlio worry of his work nnd the
njust crlticismB heaped upon him by
iHgriintlcd cities , states nnd politicians
KIVO prostrated him. At the tlmo of
ils appointment it was not expected that
ho hundreds and thousands of tlio
mumurntora nnd statisticians who would
lo tlio detail work of the census
ntronu should bo personally known
o him nnd known by him to bo
npablc , olllclont , painstaking and ro-
lablo men. His appointments in tlio
ovcral btates wore made , nodoubt , upon
ho recommendation of congressmen , the
amo as presidential appointments are
nadc , and in this ho followed a pro-
cdetit Unit has prevailed during the
Ifotlmoof the republican and demo-
ratlc pailioH. Seine \ory capable men
voro rccoinuiundod to him and louimis-
lonctl by him , A very great majority of
its appointments honor the judgmontnnd
ho discretion of himself and advisors ,
'heir work luis been iory satisfactory.
Some ha\o failed In ofllciency , others in
usabilities , while a foff notably in St.
'aul and Minneapolis proved unworthy
if the trusts reposed in thorn. Hut who
3 responsible for the failures , the in-
niclonts , the Incapable ones and the un-
vorthy ones ? Not Mr. Porter , surely.
If lie is not responsible , imd no intelli
gent pcr&on will charge or insist that ho
s , -\\liy \ \ sliould his sensibilities bo tor-
urcil by senseless gibbcrings and llip-
> ant nowhiapor paragraphs solely to
) louse a disappointed politician or con-
ole the people of a disappointed town ?
! f It is characteristic of the people of
his country to find fault with ono an-
ithcr , ucrtainly the inotropolitiin nows-
mpcrs of the country can afford to bo
loncst In their criticisms of mon nnd
ncasurcs , especially when it ib agreed
upon all sides that such a conducted
ounial reflects the character of its con
stituency.
Tim Eii5lolioves that all cities , towns ,
lountles and states have boon fairly and
equitably treated by the census buicau.
If nny have suffered it can clearly bo
charged to local incomputency or dis-
lonobty. If from incomputency or dis-
lonesty , why not place the responsibility
upon the broad shoulders of the con-
rowmnn who may possibly have delo-
atcd his piorogativo in the matter of
political appointments to some one or
mom of his trusted lieutenants in. charge
of the force that looks after his fences.
The United States is a great country ,
and to pioporly compile a census of its
population , statistics of its industries ,
etc. , it requhcd an army of inon. The
only wonder Is BO few complaints have
been filed for cause , and backed by evi
dence to warrant the complaint.
Our people rrmy confidently oxpoot a
reasonably satisfactory census , and a re-
linblo one. Mr. Porter will demonstrate
that ho was equal to the tush lie was ex
pected to assume by those who realized
the responsibility of the undertaking
and the magnitude of the work. .
AN JJf.tO/A'J/a * CLAMOlt.
The annual report of the government
directors of the Union Pacific leaves no
doubt that these suporsorviccablo
oHiciuls fully understand the object for
which they were appointed , Ilvory
scheme undertaken by the company ,
the acquisition "of non-puying branches ,
oven the depletion of the revenue of the
main line to moot deficits on purchased
or leased lines , are applauded as the
h eight of managerial sagacity. Accord
ing to their observation , gleaned from
the polished windows of a directors' car ,
everything- running smoothly , the
government's becurity is steadily in
creasing in value , and all that is neces
sary to Induce the corporation lion and
the government lamb to lie down to
gether is for congress to extend the
time for the payment of the company's
bonded debt.
Itwill burprlso many people here
abouts , whoso capacity for absorbing in
formation Is fully equal to that of the
government directors , to learn that
there is a wild uncontrollable clamor
for this extension. The people along
the line demand it , and as the voice of
the people is said to bo the voice of
providence , congress sliould promptly
and humbly bow to the in
spired dictum. So say the direct
ors in spirit if not in words ,
With the exception of the Omaha
board of trade , no body of citizens In this
sectibn has spoken on tlio question , and
the endorsement of the board was se
cured when loss than a dozen members
wore present. Had there been a repre
sentative meeting of the board and a full
discussion it is safe to say the so-called
endorsement would have been shelved ,
The truth is the clamor exists only in
the ripe imagination of the government
directors , whoso icports are usually
edited by the olllcors of the company ,
The producers of the west nro not such
fools asjo cry out for national favors tea
a company winch has compelled them
to pay Interest on enormously Imflatcd
capital. It Is an insult to tholr intelli
gence to assort that they nro anxious to
continue for fifty years paying for the
extravagances and robberies of the credit
niobillers and the Goulds ,
. SUIISJDY.
Whllo the general sentiment of the
country ib opposed to the payment of ship
subsidies , the proposition for the pay
ment of liberal sums for the transmission
of the mails is very generally approved ,
There Is a decided difference between
allowing n through subsidy , which
would permit all soils of vessels to make
a not lucoino regardless of the business
they did , and the proposition to pay acer-
taln class of steamships , built according
to the requirements of the governing nt ,
a stated bum for performing a rogulifr
service for the government. In the ono
case there Is an absolute bounty , a cer
tain sum of money paid out regardless of
rojults , and in the other case the gov
ernment piys for asorvlco rendered It
may l > o u llttlo moro generously than
would bo necessary under a strict sys
tem of competitive business but not BO
much so ns to constitute a serious tax
upon the people.
It is necessary , therefore , to correctly
understand the difference between the
direct subsidy bill passed by the semite
and the measure which provides for a
liberal raall allowance to American
steamships built according to the sped-
llcatioas und requirements of the govorn-
mont. "Under the oconn mall bill Iho
loslmaator coneralis authorised lo enter
nto such contracts with Aniorl-
an citizen : ) for carrying the
nails in American steamships
s in Ills judgment will best
ubsorvo tlio postal and commercial
ntcrests of the United States , the sor-
ice to bo equitably distributed among
Atlantic , Mexican Gulf and Pacific
) orts. The vessels to bo employed are
f four classes : twenty-Idiot iron or
tecl steamers of not loss than eight
housand tons ; slxtoon-knot vessels of
Ivo thousand tons ; fourteon-knot vcs-
ols of twonty-fivo hundred tons , and
wclve-knot iron , stcol or wooden
learners of fifteen hundred tons. The
ate of compensation is not to exceed six
ollars a mile for voxels of the first
lass , thrco dollars ninilo for those of
ho second class , ono dollar nnd a half
or the third class , and ono dollar for
ho fourth class on each outward bound
o ngo , no vessel BO employed to ro-
olve any other bounty or subsidy. It is
ilso provided that these ships mny bq
onvortcd into transports and cruisers
or the use of the government In time of
vnr. The theory of this bill Is , says the
tVashlngton Z'osf , that as the govern
ment is now collecting on its foreign
> ostal matter moro than three times the
lot cost of the service , having : made out
> f it a clear profit of over nine million
lollars in the last twelve years , it can
veil afford to apply the money thus
nude toward establishing lines of trans
portation under its own Hag and promot-
ng the ship-building interests of the
country ,
It will bo seen that this proposition is
not strictly In the line of subsidy , and is
'nr moro defensible than the tonnage
bill which vas associated with It.
DEADLY \TIRKS.
The death of Lineman Lewis brings
: iome to the people of Omaha the shock-
.ng results of electrocution. The "live
wires" have scored their first human
victim in the city , robbed parents of n
dutiful son nnd plunged a family into the
depths of anguish.
The circumstances surrounding the
terrible event makes it clear that death
was the result of carelessness , but
whether on the part of the victim , the
foreman or the company Is yet to bo de
termined. It is hardly possible that the
lineman , uith his experience in
the dangerous business , would kno\\ingly
challenge death by handling a
live wire , and yet this is the reason ad
vanced by the company. It is claimed
that Lewis deliberately disobeyed nut
only the rules , but the orders of the
foreman ; that ho know the wire was a
working ono atid should not ha o at
tempted to touch It until the current
was turned off. The investigation , made
by Chief Galligan tends to place the re
sponsibility on the company. Ho assorts
that the company has worked its inon in
the most reckless fashionrequiringthera ,
to woik among live wires , whore the
least mihStop would bring them in con
tact with the deadly current , and'
that circuits have been kept
open while men -were repairing ; wires
conducting the current. If the unfortu
nate lineman was careless , ho paid the
penalty with his life , but the company
cunnot dodge behind a corpse to escape
responsibility. It was its duty to forbid
any of its.employes climbing a polo car
rying live wires , and the fact thai It per
mitted Lewis to do so 011 any pretense ,
renders it criminally responsible for his
death. It is ridiculous to siy : that the
man Ijnow bettor , It was the company's '
duty to prevent its mon from trifling
with death , and to discharge every man
disobeying orders.
The fact of the matter is that the elec
tric company is carrying things with a
high hand in this city. It has covered
the alloys in the business section with a
network of deadly wires and planted
poles wherever It suited Its convenience ,
rogai-dlcssof tlio rights of property own
ers. The rights granted by the city
have boon abused and the safety of life
and property disregarded. It is time
the city authorities take decisive steps
to rid the streets and alloys of the deadly
overhead wires , and force the mmkill ;
ers underground.
. agitated advocates of the drug
store saloon in Kansas experience tlio
hamo painful qualms ns the flftoon-hun-
drod-dollar prohibition organs in Ne
braska. They assort that General Brad
ford was shabbily treated in Grand Island
nnd that a gross insult was offered to a ,
stranger in Nebraska. The truth Is that
Bradford was treated with moro con
sideration than ho deserved. Having
accepted an invitation to discuss the pro
hibition issue in a manly way , ho for
got the deference duo a hospitable host
and not only slandered the stnto , but he
lled and defamed her people. No citizen
of the state deserving of the name can
calmly listen to slanderous assertions
without defending the honor of Ne
braska and her people. When men so
far forgot themselves as to stoop to false
hood and insult , it is the right and duty
of Nebraska to denounce the author smcl
expose his character. People who dwell

inp been \ii about IK-o or six \veeks , and tno
insulation was good.
The witness told Lewis uhon they went to
vorkon the wlro that they would hnvo to bo
careful on account of the lire alarm wires
nbovothom ,
Marlon L Freeman , tlio foreman oC the
linemen , was the next witness. Ho lost I lied
that lie was an electiician employed Oy the
company. Lewis had been working with , him
in the morning nndhonskcd him if ho was
used to working ou li\o \ wires and Lewis ro-
iillutl that ho vas. The witness then put
Lewis atork on live wires. The gatifriniJer
lilinvtero cnpaped In milking some transfers
of wires and Lewis called for some " \\lro , sayIng -
Ing ho wanted to"cntovei" sorao Iho wiies.
The -witness told him not to cut imy Iho wires
until the witness had scon them toseo If it
Mas necessary to cut thorn. Lewis then \\ent
up the polo and the -witness went about other
w > rlc. Ho soon heard the mtn sajlng that
Lewis was killed nnd saw him hanging -with
ono leg over the Iron brnco which supports u
cross-arm. Itwas some time before ho had
nn opportunity of examining the wlro. hut
when ho did sco it ho found thowiro had been
cut between the rod insulator mid -where the
jumper was connected. Iloga\o the man In
structions when howas worklngut cutting-ln
boxes , hut had ( 'lven him no special Instruc
tions regaidinEjthls particular wire except to
let ib alone. At the thno ho told Lewis not
to cut the wire ho was n block a-way .from
him. The witness testified that n current of
about thico hundred and llfty volts was pass
ing over the wiio at the time Lewis ciitlt ,
although ho said theio were six arc lights on
the line and four motors , tlueo being
eight horse power and ono n onc-hoiso
power machine , Each are light lequired
llfty volts , and the motors varied according
to their power.
An animated crossfire occurred between
meraVers of the jury and ono of
the attorneys -who represented Iho
electric light company when It was
endeavored to ascertain vhat. amount
of power vas required to work the line. The
witness finally acknowledged that ho could
not answer the question , and the uttoiney
said that competent witnesses would bo In
troduced at the proper time.
.Tames Q , Dooley , another lineman , was the
next witness. Ho hod been working on the
same wlro and lad taken out a "crow" north
of the polo onwhich Lewis was killed , which
left a "cross" south of the polo. 'Ihla was
the one which Lewis attempted to take out.
The vltnesi diduot knowwhat wire Lewis
was goInRtocnt , butcautloned him against
cutting the wires , as the current -would bo
turned on the night wires about ( I o'clock.
The witness didnoc hear the foreman tell
Lewis not to cut any wires. The witness
said the dead -wlro was the one he should
have cut Ind ho boon doing the work. This
wh-e crossed tlio live wire and it was neces
sary to cut ono or the other. It would have
been a little moio work to have cut the dead
wire.
J. P. HannaTicr , another lineman , was next
examined. Ho helped iemo\o \ tlio My
from the polo. The man had his
left leg 01 cr the biaco of the cross arm
and his body rested on the wires on the next
cross arm below.
The next witness wns George A , Coulter ,
superintendent of llro alarm. He testified
that ho had examined the -wires after the
accident occurred , and 'found a splice in the
who. lie did not mnko nny Inquiry about
tlio accident as tlio men all seemed to be ex
cited ,
III response to questions the witness said
the fire department -wires , which nero
under his charge , were not what were known ,
as "grounded" wires.
S. L. "VVIloy , the general manager of the
Thompson-Houston cominny.waa tbonput
on the stand. Ho tcstmed that Lewis had
boon employed as a lineman by the company
for about eight months. In .speaking of the
duties of linemen Mr , Wiley said , ono of their
duties was to string wires , nud cut thorn ,
when necessary ,
The dynamo which supplied tie line on
which Lew is 11 as - workingwas a thirty arc
dynamo. The witness was in the works "with ,
a friend , and his fncnd culled hLs attention ,
to the machine , sujlng It would soon wear
out , as it. had not enough work to it They
both examined the inichino ana sn-w , by toll
ing at the voltmeter , that the inuchlno was
BoncutiiitfOriO volttof current. This was
between 5 o'cloclc and 5ai ) of the day
on which Lewis was killed. This
line was the ono which supplied sewral
stores in the south part of the city.
The witness further testified that nbout ten
volts would bo required to run aono-liorso
power motor , lie also stated that Jho fore
men were Instructed to caution the men about
being cautious In handling live wires.
II. J. Chulbuclc , secretary und treasurer o
the Champion clcctilo lighting company of
Springfield , O , was the next witness. Ho
testified that lie was visiting Mr. Wiley in.
thlscltj' . He had been in the electric light
ing business since 1SW fin ! hud had largo es-
pericnco In operating nil electrical machinery.
On the dny thoaccidont occurred ho was In
the works of the eouii > auy hero with Mr.
Wiley and noticed the inachinohlch was
supplying the wlro in question. It wnjnot
doing the amount of work which itvas \
Intended to do and he called Blr. "Wlloy's ' at
tention to It.
The witness stated thnt about fifty volts
\veroroqulredtofumisli ono horse power.
Ho had often experimented with clectiical
machines and hact taken the voltapoof twen
ty-five liftyvolt lichts , and at uiiothortlma
had taken the current of al-OOO-voltaltcrnat-
Inir machine -without ueliiff injured
Tbo witness expressed the opinion that if
the dead man had liccn taken from the polo
at once nnd hnd had the proper care hoould \
have recovered.
The witness wns of the opinion that the
dead man only received about 500 volts.
but hi response to cross examination could
not say that ho had been examining the mu
ch I no ut the Instant tlio man was killed.
Tlicio was nothing about the machine to pre
vent the current from being lucrowod up to
the maximum llxoil for the machine.
' .Tills completed the evidence and thojury
returned a verdict to the effect that tlio de
ceased catno to his death from contact -with n
highly charged wire , but from the evidence
submitted thojury wcrounnUo to dotoinilno
whether his death was duo to neglect on the
part of the company or to his own careless
nest.
