If they want more independent support from Douglas county they are not likely to got It by crippling the worlclntfinun and depriving them of a chtinco to secure - cure employment on public works for the next two years. If the Independents want to put a club in the hands of their enemies and dtivo the workinprmon out of their ranks they will do it effectively by beating the charter. Tun paid lobbyists who hnvo boon niHsquonullnpr as representatives of labor organizations and using tholntlo- pondoats as catspaws will soon bo without an occupation. Moat of those cappers pretend to represent tons of thousands of worklngmon when , In fact , they have no standing among the trade unions or any class of organized labor , but they nro endowed with an abund ance of sublime gall and manage to inuko a living without work , either at ) ward heelers during political campaigns or ns walking delegates in the corridors of the unpltol.

From ovory. stand point it will bo unfortunate for the city , for reputable liquor dealers and for tlio commission if Judge Ilolaloy'a opinion bo acquiesced In. MYOK.l.Yr OP OUH It would seem from the nnturo of Iho deniunda which the Italian govoruuiant nstrucled its minister tomtxkoupon tlio govorntnont of the United States that there Is ignorance of our political sys tem among the advisors of the king of taly. In asking olllclal assurance from the federal government that the parties responsible for the trntfedy at Now Orleans should bo brought to justice , the Italian crovcrnmont shows that t docs not understand the llml- .alions of federal authority nnd jurisdiction In the United State , nnd in domamllng indemnity it also shows that It is Ignorant of the fact that this Is a mittor wlilcb the executive department cannot decide upon , that being a func tion of congress alone. It was the duty : ) f tlio Italian minister to this country to huvo enlightened hid government ro- ( 'nrdlng the scene of the federal author ity , but ho appear : ) not to have done this , and the omission has allowed the government of Italy to got into a posi tion thai is being ridiculed by the rest of the world. It apuenrs from the communication of Secretary Hlalno to Iho secretary of the Italian legation that In so vocal Inter views with tlio retailed minister ho had endeavored to impress upon him that Iho government of the United Statoa wna utterly unable to give the assurance nskud for. It eouhl not do BO , says Mr. Hlaino , even if It had otitlro juris diction over the allowed murderers , for It would bo a most extraordinary proceeding for the government to give assurance of punishment in advance of u trial ami a verdict against the accused. Secretary lllaino very pointedly ob serves that it needs no argument to prove that a jury could not bo impartial If It wore in any sense or to any degree bound boforo'tho trial of the accused by the assurance which the president of the United States had vouturod to glvo a foreign power. Neither can the governor of the state of "Louisiana , which tilono has jurisdiction , Rive any assurance that the persons who may bo tried for the killing of the Italians in Now Or leans will bo punished , for the constitu tion o ( Louisiana contains substantially the Hiuno provision as the federal consti tution regarding criminal prosecutions , both requiring- that the accused shall en joy the right to a speedy and public trial by an Impartial jury. With regard to the demand for Indemnity it appears that the Italian minister was notified Unit the United States recognized the principle of indemnity which should luivo been satisfactory , since it is not. within the authority of the executive depart ment of the government to bind congress - gross in the matter. The communication of Secretary IHuiim shows that the government has boon doing all that was possible to ob tainnccuruto oillclal information regard ing Iho Now Orleans tragedy and the citizenship of the victims , there being still uncertainty as to whether any of f them wore subjects of the Italian gov ernment , but it appears that nothing would satisfy tha government short of f the impossible assurance that the per sons who did the killing should bo pun ished , "With a clearer understanding o the limitations of the federal authority in thoUnited stales , the govornrnonfo Italy will see tlio mistake it has made and may bo expected to as promptly abandon its ( also position as it was hn&ty and inconsiderate in assuming it. A GOOD Southern California has suffered in tensely from the reaction of its real estate boom in the past throe years , but the characteristic enterprise of the Golden stnto has experienced no diminu tion. For two years past the boards of trndo of California have- maintained an unique advertisement Known as "Cali fornia on Wheels , " being a handsomely littod up car displaying her products to excellent advantage. The car has vis ited nearly all the cities of the union and 1ms attracted a great deal of atten tion. Parties in charge of it have dis tributed vast quantities of advertising matter and thousands of settlers have been attracted to the fertile valleys beyond the Sierras by this moans , 'J'ho people of southern California , the citrus bolt and semi-tropic section , hnvo been especially active , The past year was ono of unexampled success in fruit growing. The orchards and vineyards wore never so productive , and owing to the very go no nil failure of the fruit crops in almost all other sections of the union , prices were exceptionally romu- norntivo. The eyes of the people have boon turned from town-lot stakes and boom hotels to the development of the resources of the country , and business is now being conducted out there on busi ness principles. Recently a grand citrus fair was hold in Los Angeles , at which the best oranges , lemons , limes , pomegranates and other fruits of the class -wore displayed - played to the winter visitors. Not sat isfied with the limited field thus af forded , the IMS Angolea chamber of commerce and the liberal business men of the city have decided to give Chicago an exhibition of somUropio California which must prove highly Interesting to eastern people and indirectly profitable to the owners of orange lands in south ern California. Cn'or five hundred thousand carefully Holoclod oranges , together with immense quantities of grapes , raisins , limes ! , lemons and other fruits , will bo arranged in artistic. designs in tlio 6xpo3ltion building. Among the features of the show will ho lioit representation of the handsome county court house in Los Angeles , in which 10,000 oranges will ho used ; another - other Is an liimionsa arch requiring > f 70,000 oranges mid another will bo tlio Heaver valley darn at Hodlands , which will use up 00,000 oranges and no und ihof raislna , grapes , lemons , liniss , etc. The value of tlio exhibit will ho Homothing ' likoiMO'0,000 , and the expense of hobo show aside from the fruit will bo largo , It Is likely the sales of the fruit will bent equal to the cost of transportation , rent and employes. The oxumploof southern California 11 lustrates what Omaha and Nebraska should do at the Columbian exposition , The products of this state will not per - haps possess the novelty of these Irom the geniitropicsbut ; they will last through the fair and they will prove fur I moro Intorosllnsf to farmers , mechanics and others who Book opportunities for homo nmking nnd business Instead of climatic nilvnntngos. It goes without saying that NobrnsKa Is by far the more promising region for the average ootllcr seeking a now country and this part of the great west has the moro certain commercial prosperity. Omaha must do her duly nt Chicago and it Is not now too early to boglu the preliminary nporitfons. It will tnUo a great dual of thno to do thin right and it ought to bo done in the most creditable manner. TIIK COKK IIKOTOX TllOlinKK. A most deplorable state ot nluilrs ex ists In llic coke regions of Pennsylvania , where morn or loss sorlous trouble has been nn almost annual occurrence for n number of years. A largo majority of the mon employed In coke burning are Ignorant , Irresponsible and reckless , and are easily excited tenets of violence. No class of labor commands , as u rule , smaller remuneration , and the people who work at this industry are always Impoverished. Nowhere else in this country is there so much hardship and privation us In the Pennsylvania coke region , and many pathetic accounts have boon written of the distress and suffering which are common thoro. Insuohctr- eumstnnces It Is only natural thai dis content should constantly prevail , and that frequent struggles should arlso olthor to prevent u lowering of wngcs or to Hceuro an advance. The present trouble Is duo to a con flict of this kind , the mon having struck ngninntit reduction of wugeii. Thousands wont out , and in Homo of the works mon have boon found to hike their places , while all the employers nro understood to bo united In tliodotonuinatlon to so- euro now worlcow. The oll'oct has boon to exasperate the strlkord , not a very dilllcult thlnjr to do with mon ol this chins , nnd they have adopted the usual course of destroying1 property , having during the last few days done damage to a largo amount. Blood shed wns Inevitable as a consequence of this sort of outlawry , and the dispatches tell Iho doplornbo ) story of men shot down by the olllcors 'of the law engaged In defending the properly placed. In their chnrgo. It in to bo hoped that the worst has happened , and that there will not bo a repetition of the events of yestor- diy. The authorities are acting with vigor and decision , the governor having sent a regiment of militia to the scene of the disturbance und di rected that another regiment ho hold in readiness to jro If needed. These preparations to enforce law and order may convince the cooler judgments among Iho strikers that they have everything to lese by a policy of lawless ness , and that it would bo worse than madness toattcmpt to maintain a con flict against the authority and power of the state of Pennsylvania. If it shall not have this ollout , then there will bo moro bloodshed , for the laws must bo uphold a whatever cost. The strikers may have a just grievance. It is quito possible that In n peaceable olTort to maintain wages they would ho entitled to public sympathy. But they cannot bo justified In resorting' to violence , and if they continue In that course they will have to pay the bitter penalty which it involves. The dinpatehos state that the dead wore not citizens of the United States , hut as they wore killed while onsagod in tin unlawful act and by oliiccrs of the law their surviving' relatives are shut out from any claim for reparation. MUStlCll'Al , MA.JIVK. One of the dillleultlos of municipal government every where is the dllllculty to sccui o harmony and co-operation in the conduct of public business. The city government may ngroo upon na tional political issues and all its olltcials bo delegates to the same political con vention and yet bo using the ofliccs they hold as the footballs of malice entirely regardless of the people -who pay their salaries. Men carry their personal nmlico into their public duties and favor or oppose measures merely because they fancy they will benefit or injtiro other individ uals associated with them as public otllcinls. Just now Omaha and Douglas county are sulToring because their city and county ollicials are out of Inririony with each other arid there Is too much mullco to ho gratified. The county commissioners moot and quarrel. The city council is a weekly boar gar den. Members use language toward each other in deliberating upon public matters which would bo discreditable in a Third ward caucus. Ordinances , reso lutions , reports of committees and mo tions are opposed merely and solely be cause they are fathered by ono council man or another against whom some member has nn unsatisfied grudge. City ollicials employed by the council are hampered and traduced because they have failed to respond to requests for personal political norvlco at or ulneo the election. The mayor , the city attorney , nnd almost if not quilo all other officials como in for a share of opposition which \vhon probed to the heart reveals a bit of petty mallco in the small boul of some member. Like treatment is awarded the park commission , the board of flro and police commissioners and the board of health. The board of public works IB in itself fairly harmonious but it Is in a contin ual row with some of the individuals nor- forming city work under its direction , because of ill will engendered by per sonal disagreements between the chair man and the persons referred to. Moanwhllo the city's interests nro neglected and the taxpayers pay the piper for all the foolish dancing. If mon in public portions would sink their individual intoroits , likes and dislikes and govern their public conduct solely wilh a vlow to the public into rest venting their private spites in their in dividual capacities , there would bo far loss just cause of complaint. Hone of Texas has ob tained nllttlo cheap notoriety by vetoing a bill to authorize the Toxaa state farm to enter lisa competitor for the sugar bounty-and to receive that bounty from the federal authorities. Ho denounced the bounty law as an interference ho sovereign right ! of the slate of 'osctu , und mailo the matter the subject f a windy rtoiSYsA glo moscn'gc on tlio ilil state right J | | | jr. of argument. There vould bo iw * hrtMi sotiso in object- ng to the national government ireotlng- public building * InTexa as In ejecting the boiirty on BUjf.\r for the oason given bvjGovurnor Hogg , and If he governor id so very solicitor about ho rights of , ( ils Btnte , why didn't ' to oppose the accoptatico from the fed- rnl government of tlio endowment , fern n agricultural eoty etro. It Is suggested , liowovor , that the real reason for refus ing the bounty was that Texas prison ; nothods will not boar federal super- vision. The stiito farm is a ponnl affair , . md the governor knows enough about Its , methods not to wish to have them closely scrutinized. And in this vlow of ho matter it is desirable that the sugar jrown on the stale farm of Texas should not receive the government bounty. THE gist of the controversy between , ho police judge and the board of flro and police commissioners IB the con struction of the term "conviction. " The question is whether the conviction oc curs ! after trial by jury or nftor trial before - fore the authority which grnnta the license. It is Important enough to bo submitted to a higher court for a de cision. U.VOKHtho now legislative apportion ment bill , Omaha and South Otiuiha will have four senators and eleven rep resentatives.

Thissuinof inonoy expended hero means employment nnd wages for many Omaha laboring mon. TIIK trouble among the local domo- ornts is there are not ofliccs enouch to go around. It is necessary , therefore , to pull clerk and donutyships out by the roots and replant them with other and sometimes unpromising nnd experi mental varieties. CojutiSStoNilli TIMMK deserves the thanks of Omaha for the personal efforts ho put forth to secure the passage of the now law , whereby Omaha secures 50 per cent of the revenue raised by the road tax for street improvements.

Weir's immo. The court Immediately Issued an order re quiring City Clerk Vim Dttyn to nppe.ir and nnswor why a peremptory writ of manda mus should not Isstio. Van Dnyn was ready ' for trial and the case wai called'boforoJudgo Hull t 10 o'clock. The whole matter turned on the point whether or not section a of tbo Australian ballot bill , regarding eorttllcatcs of nomination , was properly followed by tbo gentlemen who nominated .Mr. Weir ns a candidate of the citizens. The section reads : "The certificate of nomination shall contain the name of the olllco for which each pen-son Is nominated , of business and number of residence , and shall designate in not mure than llvo words the party or principle which such con vention , committee or primary meeting rep resent ? . " The relaters claimed that the meaning of the section was clear , that It was mandatory on the dork , when everything was regularly done , to plai-o tno inline of "Citizens" opposite Mr. Weir's name. For the defense It was claimed that there is no such party ns tlio citizen ? , that It did not. cast I percent of the vote attho last cleo- tlon , as this law requires , In opposition to this It was stated that tlio nomination by tno citizens was by petition nnd that the term "Citizens" designated the principle of the organization. This imd many otlior ramifica tions of the same- argument wore brought forward. In rendering the decision Judge Hall said that tlio DctUion or certificate of nomination Hied b.v the citizens wan lu apparentcoiiforni- ity with the law , and , with all due respect to the city cleric , it was not a matter of his own volition whclhu-r ho should put the designa tion. "citizen" after Mr. Weir's ' name. Tlio court held that so long as no attempt was made to take the name of any oxistlin : po litical organization , any dissatisfied citizens bad a right to meet , call their party what they pleased , nnd also a right to bu repre sented on the onlcial ballot. No objection had been Hied in threo.days , as the law re quires , to the use of the term , and the clerk was necordirgly ordered to place it opposite Mr. Weir's namo. A stipulation was also tiled , in which It was agreed that tlio de cision of the court as to the use of the word opposite his name should also apply to all others nominated or endorsed by the citizens' movement. In illustrating ono point , the court gave as its opinion , nlthoUKh the mat- tnr was not properly before him , that Mr. Daubach's name should not bo upon the ofll- clul ballot , as the petition by which ho had been placed In nomination , while pronerly signed and filed , designated him as a repub lican , a term ho had no legal rlplit to use In this instance , neither did It stnto any sot of principles. coy CAUQIIT.
