\VlHltolll Ol' It.
The political atmosphere of Nebraska Is
ntralifTilroakcd with rod , whlto and blue and
the politicians are hurrying to and fro with
nnxlotyjmintcd all over Iholr faces.
The cause of the squall was the news from
Nebraska yity printed in Tun BIH :
to ttio effect that Hon. John C. Watson ,
chalrmxti of the republican state central com-
unlit/ ? , had given It out point blank that n
gubernatorial election should bo held this full.
Tliff announcement created u decided son-
nalion In political circles hero In Omaha and
lettprs and telegrams began ll.vinif ubout the
Mtnto in a very lively manner.
Mr Watson cnmo up from his homo yester
day forenoon and was seen at the Murray by u
representative of Tin : Bii : : .
"Yes , I bollevo that wo should elect a gov
ernor this fall , " said Mr. Watson. "I have
received n stack of letters from prominent
republicans throughout the state asking mete
to call the attention of the stale central com
mittee to this matter. I first decided
to consult with prominent lawyers
upon the legal status of the situa-
llon. This I have done and I
am. fullv convinced now lhat the election of
governor should bo held this fall. The law
Biiysjhnt the governor shall bo elected at u
regular election , and this will ceitainly bo a
regular election. "
| i "Will you cull the central committee to-
K gethur .soot ; to decide upon Hit ) matter ! "
"I have asked for the opinion of thu attor
ney general regarding the situation. When
V Ib/itls piven , and I think It will bo very soon ,
f tlinii I shall In all probability call the coni-
mfuou together. 1 think the opinion of the
attorney general will bo that the election of
governor must bo held , out that remains lo
hi ! seen. "
"In case governor Thayer should refuse to
convene the legislature for the purpose of
counting tlio'votcs and declaring an election ,
what could bo done' "
"O. the supreme court could simply declare
ati election from the returns furnished Iho
. Jf-Totno of state. The refusal of Governor
% 'Th iyor to cull u special session to count the
votes would not necessarily block the ma-
.chincry of the state very long. "
"Could the legislature meet of its own ac-
coiyl or in any way , excepting by call of the
governor , to count the votes and declare an
election ! "
"No. There is no legal way by which a
special session could bo i ailed but by the
governor or some ono acting in that capacity.
1 do not believe that anything of that sort
jXiiild bo necessary even if Governor Thuyer
'should refuse to call the special session. "
"Was this mailer of oloeliug a governor
tills fall talked of at the recent mooting of
.tho stale central committee ! "
" "S'o. It was not mentioned so far as I can
recollect. "
"How did It happen to bo sprung so sud
denly i"
"Well , slnco the last mooting of the cen
tral commlttou I have received Ihoso loiters
ot which I told you. Most of tlio gentlemen
, wlio wrote mo about the matter seemed to bo
.surprised that the central committee bad not
tnlten up the question of electing n governor
tbls fall nt the last meeting. They
urged mo to civo the matter special atten
tion , and I have done so. I have asked the
opinions of Judge Luuo. Judge Cobb , Judge
Pound , Judge Chapman and otners in addi
tion to lhat of Iho attorney general. Those
who huvo furnished me with their views are
nearly alt of the opinion that the election
should bo hold this fall. "
"lias the probable attiludo of the alliance
upon this question hud anything to do with
bringing it forward ? "
"Not at all. It bus como Just us I have ex
plained to you. "
"Do you look upon it as u boom for Llou-
_ tenant ( Jovornor Millers i"
> v "O , no. Ills simply the candid opinions of
TKMO of the leaders in the republican party ,
nmVas chairman of Iho state central' commit
tee I have simply done my duty in trying to
nrilvo at a correct conclusion through thu
able assistance of some of the best attorneys
fn llio slate. "
, ' "In case the committee decides to proceed
with tbo call for a gubernatorial nomination ,
whom do you suppose will bo the choice of
the convention ( ' '
" 1 should think the thrco most likely men
would bo Thuyer , Kichurds and Majors , "
" * "You uo'l moan to say that ycui think the
thrco men you mentioned would bo first , second
end and third choice before the convention
In the order named , do you ! "
"You may think ns you like about that. 1
nm nol booming anybody , but simply doine
my duty us chairman of the state central
committee. "
, Tlio Suiroino Court Did It.
"The situation is Just this , " said Colonel
K. D. Webster of Stratton , wl.o was
' seen at Iho Paxlon hotel. "Tho
republicans of Nebraska are dis
gusted with Iho Illogical decision of the
supreme court of this state , by which u man
1ms been permitted to fill the gubernatorial
chair. Governor Thayer has no moro lo ml
right , to act as governor of Nebraska than
ox-Governor Nunco , ex-Governor Ftirnas or
any other man who has once been governor.
In fact ho has no moro right to the olllco than
I or any other citizen , lion. Thomas Majors
is the man who should have taken the guber
natorial chair whan Mr , Boyd was declared
Ineligible and the people of Nebraska
Unow It. "
"Do you think the alliance party will nom
inate u man for governor this fall ! "
"Yoi , I do. And If thu republicans fall to
do .so the alliance candidate will become gov
ernor , just as hiiru as the sun shines. "
"Bui GovornorThayor might refuse to call
the legislature togoihor and how could tney
declarenu election ! "
"Why , the legislature would simply got
. .Jogolhe'r. The alliance men nro up lo stinff.
"ir they succeed lu electing u gov
ernor , don't you forgot It they will got
the legislature togelhor and count
thu ballots. Thu republican party
should go Intojho lluht with Hon. Thomas
Majors at the head and ho will bo elected. "
"How about the democrats ! "
' 'Unless the supreme court of the United
States should decide In favor of Mr. Boyd
before the fall election , the democratic party
would bo obliged to stnil bacn and look at
the fun. To put up another man when they
claim that Mr , Boyd Is the rightful governor
would be ultotlu and absurd. "
Questions IIH
Hon. W. d. Council said : "I have not In
vestigated the matter so as to bo able to give
nn unqualified opinion upon It or
ontj even which is quite satisfac
tory to myself. Hut , from n hasty
examination of the provisions of the
constitution , I feel quito certain that iio legal
election for governor can bo held this fall.
Thcso provisions scorn to bo very plain and ,
ns 1 view thorn , conclusive. Kvon U thcro
bo n statute thu provisions of which would
Room to authorl/.e the election of governor at
the coming election , if those provisions are
In conlllct with the constitution , they would
have no force or effect.
' It- is expressly declared In the
constitution that the tir > t elov'tlon
for governor shall bo hold In ISTit and each
BUCucodlng election shall ho hold at the sumo
relative time In cacti oen year thereafter.
As I view It , this provision of the constitu
tion is mandatory. The other provisions of
the constitution relating to the oftlco
oi governor clearly contemplate that
that oftlcor , uftor hU election ,
hold his ortico not only for the term ot
wo years after hU election , but until his
successor is elected and qualified. No limit
Is placed upon Urn provision and it follows
thai a duly elected gov
ernor may hold bU otllco
lu the event of a succesior not being elected
for the full two terms.
"Ju tuo event of a vacancy In tlio oQlco of
governor , It Is provided that the place shall
bo filled by the lieutenant governor ; If not
by Iho lieutenant governor then by the presi
dent of the senate and If ho bo Incapable of
performing the duties of governor the
same shall devolve upon tbo speaker
Of the house of representatives.
This proves In relating to occupancy in the
ofllco of governor seems to mo to bo In
harmony with the provision that authorize *
n duly elected governor to hold his ofllco until
his successor Is elected and qualified.
In cither c.ise , notwithstanding the fact that
the vacancy occurs prior to a general state
election ur'thnt no legal election of u successor
ser has taken place , the official
authorized to fill the position
of governor wonlu hold the office
until an election authorised by the constitu
tion could bo held.
"From hasty examination of the statutes ,
I fall to find any provision in conllict with
the provisions of the constitu
tion. It Is provided by iho
btatuto that through failure to elccc
at a proper election , any olllco shall bo de
clared vacant ; but , by the express terms of
the statute , this applies only to any ofllco
when there Is no incumbent to con
tinue in ofllco until his successor is
elected. The authority given to the
slate board of canvassers to canvass the
votes at any special election , must apply only
to such special elections to 1111 any ox'istlng
vacancy as nro authorized by the constitu
tion. "
Doi'mi't Aurco witli Mr. "Watson.
County Attorney Mahoney s lid : "I can
not ngreo with Mr. Wat-sou that a governor
may DO elected this fall , and I do not under
stand how ho can arrive at ntiy such conclu
sion. The supreme court , In its decision
In ousting Governor Uoyd from oflico , de
clares that section ,17 of chapter 10 Is the
law that must govern the case. Hut section
17 has no relation to what is ordina
rily known as n vacancy in onico. The supreme
premo court In that decision did not go upon
the theory that there Is a vacancy. Had It
done so the constitution provides a plain and
adequate method for tilling such vuc.-.ncy.
This decision , until reversed bv the supreme
court of the United States , will nave to bo
accepted as the law of the state of Nebraska ,
"Section 1 of article > of the constitution
provides that the governor shall bo elected In
each even year and ttiero is nowhere , cither
in the Constitution or in the statutes of the
state , n provision for electing a governor at
any other time. If the constitution is to bo
so strictly construed as to render Mr. Boyd
inolligible , suro'y ' it would bo a strange
anomaly to say that It may so liberally bo con
strued as to authorize the people to hold an
election for the olllco of governor nt a time
other than that provided by the constitution.
1 f the people nriy hold nn "election for a gov
ernor in an odd numbered year then they
may hold such an election In any other month
ns well as in November. They may , In other
words , entirely disregard the constitution.
It would amount to saying that they may
violate not only the letter , but the
spirit of the constitution , as well , as
to the time of holding nn election , but must
comply with strictness respecting the quali
fications of the person they may elect.
"Section 4 of the same article of the con
stitution provides for counting the vote of the
election by the legislature , bv * there is to bo
no session of the legislature u < . IlbOl unless
one should bo specialty called , and it is not
nt all likely that Mr. Thayer would call a ses
sion for the purpose of counting himself out
of olllco. If there had been a vacancy
in the o01ce of governor It should
bo filled by the lieutenant Kovernor
ns provided in section 1(5 ( of article
5 of the constitution , but \ho \ supreme court
has gone upon the theory that section 1(1 ( has
no application to the case of Mr. Thaycr's
incumbency ; in other words , that there is no
such a vacancy ns the constitution contem
plates. Section 'JO of article : i of the const- !
tion provides that the legislature shall pro
vide bv gcncr.il law for the filling of vacancy
in ofllco according to the constlttutlnn. when
no provision Is made for that parposo by the
constitution. " '
"Section 20 of article 5 provides for the
illlinc of vacancies in the various executive
ofllces of the state except governor and judi
cial officers. Section 'Jl of article ( i of the
constitution provides for filling vacancies
in Judicial ofllces , and section 10i ; of
chapter " 0 contains n general legisla
tion of the state respecting the filling of
vacancies not otherwise provided for by the
constitution , out no wlicro is there cither n
provision or n suggestion of authority for
filling a vacancy for the olllco of governor
except according to sections 10 and 18 of article
5 of th' < constitution , or the electing of a
governor at any other time than in Novem
ber of an oven numbered year. The idea
that the governor could bo elected this year
probably comes from the circumstance ttiut
in vacancies in the judiciary , the constitu
tion provides that a successor shall bo
eloctel for the unexplrcd term at the llrst
general election that , occurs more than
thirty days after the vacancy shall b.ivo
happened , and from the provision in section
10.1 of chapter 12(1 ( of the com
piled statutes to the effect that appointments
under the provision of this chapter shall ho
In writing and continue until the next elec
tion , at which the vacancy can ho lilted , and
until a successor is elected and qualified , hut
it will bo seen that neither of the above pro
visions can apply to the case of irovornor.
The constitutional provision Is expressly lim
ited to members of tlio Judiciary , and the
statutory provision Is expressly limited to
nfllcos which may bo filled by appointments ,
nud no ono will pretent that the governor is
either a part of the judiciary , or may hold his
otllco by appointment.
"It would no doubt bo very convenient for
our republican friends in the event of the supreme
premo court reversing tno decision of our
state supreme court to have another man
than Governor Thayer elected and holding
the oftlco of governor baforo the mandate of
the United States supreme court is recol.t i.
Ibis would raise a new cori icatlon of af
fairs and furnish the basis lor another pro-
veodlng In our state supreme court to keep
Governor Boyd out of olllco.
"I do not think , however , that either the
republican party or the peoples' party will
show such a complete disregard for the con
stitution of the state as to attempt lo elect a
governor at u tlmo when thuv are not author-
bed , oil nor by the constitution or the laws of
thu state to do so.
"Should , however , anv such revolutionary
attempt bo indulged In , they will find the
democratic party prepared to" Insist upon its
constitutional rights and to reinstate Gov
ernor Boyd in the event that tha United
States supreme court should ileclr.ro him en
titled to thoofllLO. "

It is generally believed hero that the resig
nation of bountor Qutiv ns chairman of the
republican national committee will bo fol
lowed by a general- reorganization of that
body. At the present time General Dudley
is the treasurer of the committee.
General Dudley has so much private busi
ness to look after that it Is thought he will
tender his resignation nt tlio same tlmo that
Mr. Quay steps out. In that event the un
derstanding among republicans here is that
the committee will select Mr. Henry C.
Payne of Wisconsin as the successor to Gen
eral Dudley. The only thing in the wav of Mr.
Pay tie's selection Is the fact that Mr. Clarksou
Is almost certain to bo elected chairman and
the fact that Mr. Clarksou Is from Iowa and
Mr. Payne from an adjoining state may
militate against the latter , lnthlseveiit.it
is thojght that Mr. Conger of Ohio will be
chosen.
In this connection an interesting piece of
gossip was current in political circles today.
It was to the effect that the democratic
national committee is still in debt to the tune
ol ? ir > 0,000 on account of the expenses of the
campaign of IbisS and that the creditors of
of the committee hold Senator Brice of Ohio
personally responsible for the payment of
this amount.

print n letter from lit. Kov. John ICuin ,
bishop and u member of the Roman Cathollo
board for the distribution of funds , In tbo
letler ho says , In regard to the pending
trouble In Indian affairs , that it Is n mistuito
that tbo controversy is between the commis
sioner and Ibo bureau , and therefore does
not necessarily touch schools under Calhollo
control. Ho says ; "Tho question at issue
does touch vitally the interests of our
Catholic Indian schools. From his very In
duction Into olllco. Mr. Morgan has shown
bis anti-Catholic bigotry. Whom did ho ap
point us an inspector of Indian .ehools but u
Protestant minister , Hov. Dr. Dorchester ,
whom Arch bishop Ryan of Philadelphia
forced to rotrael a gross simmer published
by Dorchester against himself ( Ryan. ) What
was Dorchester's first offlcial'acti The ic-
movnl of several Catholic teachers because or
their religion. As a member of the board
for the dlstrlbillion of Iho funds collected in
our country for the Indian mission the board
consists of Arcn bishop Ryan and myself. I
nm in n position to know that Commissioner
Morgan has dealt most unjustly toward our
Indian schools.
"If the numbers cducaied in the Cathollo
Indian schools are greater than in Protestant
schools why should not the appropriations
for their support bo also greater * The fact
is that Morgan , seeing the superior excel
lence of Catholic Indian schools , would lllto
to secularize the whole system , which , un
fortunately for the poor Indians , the fc-overn-
mont has refused to endorse.
"The chairman of the committee on Indian
affairs said the olhor day that the reason of
the success of the Jesuits more than any
other sect was that they devoted their whole
lives to the work Ho struck the kov to the
whole situation. Take a Protestant clergy
man and send ' nim to Iho west ,
I don't care how zealous ho may
bo tie goes there half devoting himself
to this unusual life. Today the Indians are
100 per cent advanced over any other civil
ization , at loat.1 Iu Montana. Fifty years
ago the Jesuits went among tliom and today
you see the result. Amontr all those tribes ,
commencing with the Shoshoncs , the Arapa-
hoes , tbo Orosventrcs , Uu Blackfoot , the
Pigans , iho River Crows , the Loods. the
Asslnnbolncs , the only ray of light I saw
was in the Flat bead reservation in the Jesuit
mission schools.
'In nn open letter of January ill , 1S01 ,
BishopShanloy of Jamestown , N. D. , says :
'Tho Indian missions of my diocese have suf
fered beyond telling through Morgan , and
they are now iu an almost hopeless condition.
If the administration continues to sustain the
bigotry of Morgan and Dorchester it may re
gret its course when the Cnthollo voles are
heard from next fall a year. ' "
Tbo threat contained in the closing para

Nob. , July 22. [ Special
Telegram to Tun lir.i : . ] Att".V : > this even
ing n totrlb'.o explosion occurred In the B. it
M. railroad roundhouse at this point. The
concussion was felt all over the rliy , and the
shrill blasts of the shops' whistles Imme
diately following , gave warning of some dtro
disaster.
A rush was made to the round house and a
scene of terrible destruction mut the gazo.
The ruins had caught lire , but the streams of
water played upon the debris suon extin
guished the flames. The wildest rumors
floated around as lo iho number of men killed ,
but the crowd sot to work with a will and
rescued several badly Injured men mid re
covered the dead bodies of two unfortunate
victims ,
The boiler of engine No. 12 , ono of the old
est engines on the road had burst. The
engine had recently undergone repairs
and a thorough overhauling. It was
being broken in today iu the yards , and ac
cording to Master Mechanic Urctisl , him boon
under no greater pressure than it. : > pounds of
steam. It was standing in the stall , prepara
tory to going out west us a double bender ,
and within live minutes of the explosion ,
It is claimed that the gauge recistered only
ninety pounds pressure.
William Kasmusson , the engineer of No.
21 , had jusl brought his engine into the stall
adjacent to No. 1.2 , and ho stopped to speak
to ono of tlio victims , Charles
Hasomeyer , the ilrenuti of No. 12 ,
for a fuw minutes. Upon leaving him ho
passed around No , St , and the explosion then
occurred. Hasmusson was struck on the
left hip with a piece of flying debris , and
knocked into the pit. Tills occurrence evi
dently saved Ills life , as thu ruins were piled
up all around him.
Hasemoyor must have Just stepped into the
cab , and It is claimed ho was heard to turn
the blower on. Ho was found in Iho gang
way pinioned againsl thu co.il gate with a
board driven through his body just below the
breast. Ho presented asIcKonliig.iippoar.inco
His head was terribly cut and his taco and
side burned.
Johh Ilardrubu had Just llnlsl.ed block
ing No. 21. llo was found beneath a
pile of debris with a hole In his head from
which tbo brains oozed out. Ho was
otherwise lorribly cut and bruised and Hfo
was extinct when picked up.
Frank Mauor was wiping the cylinder
head of wo. 21 , and when found was alive
although bis left oar had been torn oT ( , his
head badly mashed and otherwise injured.
The physician states that ho may pull
through all right.
Night Hostler E. B. Thrull was in the
sumo section and was blown over the Jboilcr
head of No. 81 , but was not injured , with
the exception of some brulsos.
Charles Miller , the foreman , was also badly
bruised.
The ill-fated locomotive is n' ' total wreck.
It was literally torn Into shreds. The walls
and roof covering six stalls of the line
twenty-stall roundhouse were blown out aud
within the building are piled up Immense
heaps of brick and timbers. The two loco
motives , 21 and 84 , standing ou either side of
No. 12 , nro badly damaged.
The steam dome of No. 12 was blown up
Into tbo air and hurled outside of thu round
house , A portion of the boiler was blown
out through the roof of the llrst section as
clean as u Knife.
Charles Hasemoyor , the fireman , was about
twenty-oight years' of ago , and married , but
without children , his only child having died
quito recently. Ills parents reside at Louis-
villa Ibis county.
John Hardruba , the wiper , was about
thirty-seven years of ago , a Bohemian , and
leaves n widow nud throe small children ,
their ages rauirlng from eight to nlno years.
The causa of the explosion , according to
thq ofllcmls , is unaccountable and one of the
roundhouse men said ho was on the eneino a
fuw moments before the explosion and noticed
that the steam gauge registered
ninety pounds of steam nud the
water glass showed plenty of water
Engineer Jake Caufmati , who was breaking
in tlio cngino this morning , sot the safety
valve at 150 pounds. It is surmised that
something was wrong with the steam or
water gauge , and that the water had run low
and Havomoyor noticing Ihe fact turned on
the injector and the rapid generation of the
steam exploded the boiler. If the accident
had happened n short time earlier thu loss of
life might have been appalling , as the full
force of wipers were upon the scene of the
disaster n few minute * previous.
