Bcntativoa of the Fifty-second congro ;
wilt bo u southern nmii. This much inn
bo regarded as sottlcil. Thoronro thn
candidates from thnt section , ono i
whom will bo chosen. These nro Mill
of Texas , CrUp of Georgia and Mi
Millln of Tennessee. Two norther
dumucrnts , Springer of Illlnol
and Jjymim of Indiana , arc mat
tioncd as cnndidiitos , nnd thor
Is ulso a cnndidato in the southwest , bu
as the situation now appears thcro I

The real light will bo between Mills an
Crisp , with the probabilities in favor <
the former , but if the contest shall bo n
hot and bitter as now scorns likely Mi
Millln may carry olT the urlxc.
Hut [ ti any event a southern man wil
preside ever the next house of roi
rcsonlntlvos , and so far as results nr
concerned it will make precious littl
dllTorenco which ono of the candidate
from that section is elected to the posl
lion. Hither of them can bo fully dc
ponded upon to organ l/o the house Ii
the interest of every policy for whiel
the democracy of the south contends. 1
'
majority of the committees of th
hoiibo will hftvo for their chairmen southern
orn men and the best committees wll
have n majority of southern demo
cralH on them. The representatives o
northern democracy of course cannot bi
ignored and they will doubtless bo glvot
a few places of responsibility by way o
keeping them good natured , but tin
positions of greatest power and the op
portunities for making political prestigi
will bo gathered in by the democrats o
the south. This has been the uniforn
practice , and no departure from it wil
bo tolerated by the dominant wing of the
democratic party. When Mr. Carlisle
was first chosen speaker his dispositioi
\\ns to deal generously with northori
democrats , but ho was not permitted te
do so , and in order to maintain his
standing with the southern wing of the
party ho found it necessary to givt
nearly all the best places to the ropro
sontativcs from that see-lion. There will
jo bargaining in the coming contest ,
but it will bo chioll.v with the
nen from the south. Northern dem
ocrats , as heretofore , will be
given what remains ever after thoit
southern brethren have been batisfae.
torily provided for. The democratic
mrty continues toboe-ontrolled from the
south , and the wishes' and demands of
.hat . section of it are paramount. It is
true that the southern democrats have
i claim to this domination in the fact
hat they have the ablest men in the
> arty. but it is a question for northern
otors to consider whether it is desirable
o have their interests and welfare com
mitted to the care of men whoso sonti-
uonts , aims and aspirations are purely
ectional. ' Wo shall soon have another
) roof of this in the organization of the
louao of representatives , and in the
course of that body regarding national
'
[ iicstions.
The nine councilmcn that are to bo
elected by our citi/.cns on the 3d of No
vember are to bo voted for at largo and
must run the gauntlet of our entire voting
ing population. The main object of
electing one-half of the council at largo
has been to secure a bettor class of men
than are usually put forward for the po
sition by the ward heelers and pot liouso
politicians.
It was expected that each party would
nominate the very best men that could
bo induced to servo in the coun
cil regardless of where they lived.
Unfortunately for the interests
of the city the number of councilmon-at-
largo has been fixed to correspond with
the number of wards. The outcome has
been that the city convention , instead of
selecting the very best material , regard
less of icsidunco , has permitted each
ward to name a candidate , and by the
trnflleking that prevails in conventions
the candidates who could command the
support of a majority of their own
wards were oi'dorsed by the whole con
vention. Our councilmon-at-largo hnvo
thus been made out of the inferior
timber from which each ward caucus
makes its choice , and the object
of the law has boon frustrated com
pletely. It is true that the voters at
largo have in several Instances defeated
Lho most obnoxious ward candidates and
elected two or throe men from ono ward.
The fact is , however , that the general
iverngo of our councilmen-at-largo has
teen composed of no bettor material
than the ward councllnion , and while
Lho citizens had their choice of the best
5ti each party ticket there were no best
neil to pick from. It was simply a Hob-
ion's choice.
The prevailing practice of allowing
meh ward to mime , ono candidate no
natter how incompetent or disreputa
ble ho may bo , should bo broken up , and
ho boat men should bo placed on the
ickot regardless of the wards in which
hey live. Each ward 1ms Us own i op-
osontativo in the council and the
! ouncllmon-nt-largo should represent
ho whole city , and not merely the pro-
iinct where his homo is located. Un-
ess this is done , tax paying citi/.ons
ogardless of party will bo compelled to
epudlnto the work of the conventions ,
nid put in the Hold a ticket for conn-
illmon-nt-lnrgo that will bo composed of
nen of integrity and capacity who will
ransact the business of the city without
churning to enrich themselves at the
ixpenso of the people.
Senator Chandler , chairman of the
onato committee on immlgantlon , some
line ago propounded some questions to
ho public with a view to ascertaining
rhother the next congress should enact
urthor legislation restricting Immlgra-
Ion to the United States. Although the
iw , as it now stunila , appears to bo
'Orking ' very satisfactorily , information
omos from Washington that several
mondmonts to the immigration law
iavo been prepared for prosonta-
lon to congress , and that there is no
oubt the question will bo brought up
arly in the session. It In stated that
lonntor Chandler has received a great
umber of replies to his questions , and
I is understood that ho and the other
lombors of his committee , which had
uthority to continue Ita labors during
ho recess of congress , will examine
hose roplles'anel will draw from them ,
ni well as from direct persona
Investigation nnd the previous report *
of congressional committees , the knowl
edge necessary for the preparation of r
comprehensive measure to bo submitted
to congress.
Ono requirement that Is scon to be
ctonianded Is provision for the proper ln >
spection of the Euroiwan immigrants
that como Into the country through
Canada. It is stated that largo num
bers of them have como In that way
this year , nnd among them Have been
many who would not have boon
allowed to enter the country through
our ports. Some dilllculty is likely to
bo found in devising a plan for fully
guarding the line of our northern fron
tier , but obviously something should bo
done to proven t objectionable persona
coming Into the United States through
Canada. It is thought that moro strin
gent provisions are necessary for the ex
clusion of paupers , felons , Imbeciles nnd
assisted immigrants , but there is really
very little ground for fault-finding with
the operation of the existing law with ro-
spcct to those classes. The testimony
of the immigration commissioners Is
that of moro 'than Jii.OOO arrivals at
Philadelphia during the last fiscal year
there was not found a single violation of
the law , nnd that whllo doubtless some
of the classes subject to exclusion suc
ceeded in getting In at Now York , and
perhaps other ports , the number was so
small as not to bo at all serious. It is
also thought that moro stringent p"o-
visions are necessary for the ex
clusion of contract labor immi
grants , of whom , it is said ,
the committee has ascertained
that fiom 10,000 to 20,000 have
arrived at our ports since the beginning
of the year. If it be a fact , UH repre
sented , that there arc at'onts of corpora
tions abroad contracting for Inlwr there
can bo no question as to the necessity of
providing moro stringent regulations for
the exclusion of this class of immigrants.
The senate committee has received
numerous suggestions of methods for
restricting immigration , but it is note
worthy that there is a marked
abatement of the demand for
legislation that would put a stop to it
altogether. There are still a few who
believe that this would bo the wiser
policy , but they are not proclaiming
their opinion very loudly in the face of
the overwhelming sentiment that this
country cannot alTord. for any reason , to
close its ports ngninst the worthy people
of other lands who come hero in good
faith to make homes for themselves.
A I'UOMiNKNT citizen desires through
Tin ; BIK to call attention to excessive
water rates charged to private consum
ers in the city of Omaha tu compared
with cities of equal or loss population.
There is no doubt that this complaint is
well grounded. The question is what
can or should bo done to procure a re
duction of water rents. The charter
which was granted in 1881 , when
this city had only 30,000 population
fixed the rates which the water company
may bo permitted to charge to private
consumers , and those rates have pre
vailed over since. The company still
has a twelve-year contract with the city ,
and unless that contract Is violated by it
the city has no remedy. Wo do , however -
over , believe that it would bo to the
interest of the company to adjust its
rates to the ; scale that prevails in Kan
sas City , St. Paul or Denver. They
would ccrtninlv make up the difference
of the decrease by a material increase
in the number of patrons.
IT is announced that an organizatioi
of tin plate manufacturers and dealer !
has been effected , with the object of no
quiring reliable information respecting
the progress and elovolopmont of the
manufacture of tin plate , and to watcl
legislation affecting the interests of con
su'mors. This is the first importanl
movement in evidence of the great in. .
torost that is being taken in the establishment
lishmont of the tin industry it
the United States , and it is
very significant that so many as
BOO firms shomd bo represented in the
association. No other industry in this
country grow so rapidly as tnia has
done , and its development from this
time forward promises to bo phenom
enal. In this respect , at least , the Me-
Kinloy bill is alreaely most completely
vindicated. _
Tun annual convention of the Iowa
stale farmers' alliance next wool :
promises to boot unusual interest. The
contest between the radical and con
servative elements In the organisation in
certain to bo renewed , and the result
will determine whether the alliance is to
continue on the lines it has thus far pur
sued and thus depart wholly from its
original purpose. The conservatives have
hitherto boon victorious , but they have
a harder light on hand now than ever
before , and the most sincere friends of
the alliance are apprehensive. It is to
bo hoped their fears will prove to bo un
founded , for the alliance will cease to bo
a power in the Interest of the farmers
the moment It becomes a political ma
chine to bo operated by demagogues for
their personal advantage.
OMAHA must bestir herself and got
everything In road'ness for the repub
lican national committee mooting which
will bo hold November 10th or 21st.
Wo have a little ever ono month in
which to organize for the campaign.
Minneapolis has awakened from her
lethargy enough to name a commlttoo
and raise a guarantee fund of $30,000.
Omaha has everything in her favor , and
all that is now needed is to show the
committee that she is in earnest and
can accommodate the delegates nnd
tl'eir friends.

Sutton Advertiser : Judge Post's record
Is spotless and ncjcds no defense ; bettor yet
ho was nominated D.v the Reese Inlluonce ,
which was opposed to Cobb.
Gothenburg Independent : Those demo
crats wbo , since the declination of Broady ,
tbo nominee for supreme judfjo , endorse Ed-
gorton , arc not doing so because they endorse
the principles of fbothird parly , but because
of Iheir hut roil for republicans. They have
no love for the alliance party , but think it
will down the republicans and that's what
they are after.
Tokamah Burtoniun : Tbo calamity organs
that are endeavoring , to ho Judge A. M. Post
Into an alliance with corporations and rail
roads are either Iirnorant or thov wilfully
ignore the facts in the caso. You follows
who are inclined to bo misled by these organs
should iavesligaln the vote and see whether
the railroad faction wtilch followed Cobb at
first or the anti-monop faction whtuu fol
lowed Kcesc at first cast the ballots that
nominated Post.
IIoldroRO Cilizqn : The moro people find
out about Judge ljost the hotter the nomina
tion seems to suit. Judge Post on the supreme
premo bench would bo an honor to the state ,
nnd sustain the high reputation It has not in
the past. His personal character is above
reproach , while his career on the bench has
shown him to bo an upright 1udse who hn :
not the slighlosl lalnt about him. That in
thas a hiich upnreciatlon of the ofllco ho as
pires to may be seen in his speech of accept
nnco when ho says that the constitution am
law and the oath of ofllco that ho tulce :
should bo the platform of ( .ho candidate fo
judicial ofllro.
Grand Island Independent : The action o
the democratic state central committee so
euros the election of Post. A good inanj
democrats will not vote at all. A largo portion
tion of then will work und vote for Post anc
very few will Join the Edgorton crowd The
sensible men as a general thing nro nshamci
of the Idea , to disgrace tno hlchrwt court b >
making this third rate pettifogger a momboi
of it. And wo are convinced that even mat > j
mllanco mon will not vote for him. The
great victory of the democrats , which the on.
thuslasts of the late democratic state con
vention proph'osiod , has already dissolved it
self into thin air , ns wo prodlctod it would ,
and Edgorton will ho dofoaiod by n two-
thirds majority for Post. Komomber this oui
prediction , and see whether it will bo real
ized or not.
Promont Tribune : For nlno years Post
has sat uoon the district boncn in this
county , nnd during this Uina hundreds of our
citizens have been in his courl , either us wit
nesses , litigants or spectators , and llioir ud-
miralion for the man nnd the Judge has al
most Invariably boon won. Ho commands
universal respect for his dignified yet affable
bearing , his clear Impartiality in the admin-
islralion of Justice uctwcon plaintiffs and defendants -
fondants , nnd , not the least of all , his prompt
and rapid dispatch of business. No Judge in
Nebraska has a grcalor capacity for courl
work than ho and Dodge county taxpayers
have learned to appreciate this consideration
on his part for their burdens. Judge Post
has never permitted prolonged sessions of nls
court to entail expense and taxation upon
the people. lu
Columbus Tologrdfu , ( item. ) : The decision
of the elotnocnttlc ( hln o central commuted
not to nominate a'icnndldatu for supreme
Judge was evidently In the InloroU of
Kdgorton , the Independent candidate. Many
of tliu commlttoo iujq ikl to hnvo openly de
clared It to bo their iutoutlon to support the
South Omaha candidate , The Telegram still
thinks that It is suicidal policy for the parly
to neglect to nomlnitto a candidate und thus
seek to Keep up its rganUutlon , hut it will
only ho temporary ijiul the party may como
out all right In tno oifif. As It Is , democrats
are now f roe lo oxorcYJb Ihelr ctiolco between
Poit and BJgerton Vm this will not bo dis
tasteful to most ofj p democrats in Platte
county. Some of them will vote for tidgor-
Ion , while moro will , out of local prldo and
good feeling for Post , cast tholr ballots for
tbo republican candidate. For once the
ToloHram believes that the haughty repub

A Chicago Pilgrim to Troves Thrown
Into tlnll.
Nr.w VOHK , Oct. 3. Herr Peter Iloil of
Chicago wont to Trove * to .100 the holy coat
and lomatnod there four weeks without see
ing It , Few pllgrlm , however , will have so
much to tell about their experience la the olel
cathedral town as will Herr Potor.
On the ilrst day's exposure of the holy coat ,
Herr Hell stood In Iho crowd before the ca
thedral , happy in the belief that ho would ho
ono of the worshipers at the historic shrine.
There was a good deal of pushing nnd pulling
in the crowd and Herr Hell was driven Into
qullo violent contact with a young woman of
Troves. On her arm wiw a gold bracelet.
The young wotnau screamed hysterically.
When a policeman nppoiu-oel before her , In
wantof some bettor excuse of the disturb
ance' , she said Herr Hell had tried to steal
her bracelet. '
That was enough and Herr Hell was removed -
moved to the gloom of n police station and
.scutched. In dU pookolbook were found sov-
cral gold trlnitots which ho had bought for
friemM In Chicago.
"Where did you got those ! " asked the com
missioner.
"Bought them to take thorn to America
with mo. "

So Herr Hell wont to n prison cell while the

must bo burglar tools.

\Vhen asked as to the tools Hell explained
that he was employed bv Baur & Co. , organ
makers , and that the suspicious articles were
merely Instruments for tuning organs. That
was regarded ns n very transparent falsehood

OI-H to Ge > Into n Combine.
Nnw YOIIK , Oct. 8. Twenty of the leadinp
cigar manufacturers of Ihis city hold a meet
ing yesterday in the ofllco of T. H. Allen.
The object of it was carefully concealed and
all information regarding It was witheld
from reporters. It was lonrned , however ,
that tlip mooting was held to perfect plans
for the formallon of n gigantic cigar trust to
Include till the prominent eigar manu
facturers in the United States. It
is proposed to organlio the trust
on the same lines ns the consolida
tion of the live leading cigarette factories
which took place loss than I wo years ago.
The mooting w as held in accordance with a
call published in the Tobacco Journal.
Mr. Allen admitted to a reporter that the
cigar manufacturers present had ngieod to
form a comoumtion which would include
'J5.000 manufacturers of domestic cigars and
that they would have an nggrocato capital of
ii" > ,000,000. A committee had been an-
pointed nnd the arrangements were we'll
under way.
"It is a big undortrking , " ho said , ' -and
will require sometime to bo put on n working
basis. It cannot bo called a'cigar trust , however -
ever , but a combination to decrease the cost
of production and to lid the trade of n num
ber of middlemen who fro between the manu-
fncluior and relail dealer and absorb all the
prollts thcto are in the business. "
Another manufacturer said : "Tho object
of this combine is to down the leaf merchants
bv consolidation of the big manufacturers.
Wei will send our own buyers to purchase
lent from the planters. If It is found that
Iho dealers demand too high n price for Con-
lu-cticut loaf , the buyers may go to Amster
dam and elsewhere for Sumatra wrappers.
ibis action will bring the nutlvo planter to
terms. "
The manufacturers of clear Havana cigars
will not bo included in tno trust , Orilv
domestic goods are concerned. If tee com
bination succeeds it will bo a severe blow to
the Jobbers who aio making money by
handling the goods for the retail trade.
