TJIU discussion of the anti-option bills
before committees of the sormUi and
house is calculated to give the counti y a
bettor understanding of the difference
between legitimate and illegitimate
speculation , for it must be admitted that
there are trannactions of a speculative
rhuraotor which cannot properly bo
classed as Illegitimate. One fact hnx
) > eon pretty well established , and that is
that on nearly all boards of trade , and
particularly on the larger ones , there is
moro or less speculation of the bucket ,
shop onl-jr. Parties who have ad-
t inlttod this to the committees profess a
desire to see it broken up , but they fall
to ssiggost a way of doing this. If such
speculation is not essential to the ex
istence of board * of trade It would sueui
that thobu bodloa could Mud n practica
ble way of ridding themselves of what
ll'c-y coufoas to bo un evil.

It wns expected that the reunion of
democratic leaders at the 13oyd banquet
would furnish the keynote for the resur
rected democracy in the coming cam
paign. The shaggy old wheel-horses
who had led the forlorn hope in twenty
successive campaigns , and the warriors
> vho were at the front of the fray in the
campaign that gave democracy Its llrst
governor in Nebraska , were around the
festive board. The tattooed man who
edits the only paper with two pros ?
franchises was pro ont loaded to the
guards with anti-monopoly doctrines
and .Incksoniah cryptograms.
Everybody was eagerly listening and
everybody except the railroad con
tingent went away disappointed. The
oracles and orators studiously avoided
all reference to the issues that are
uppermost in the minds of the masses
and especially the popular demand for
railroad regulation , tax revision or
legislative apportionment. The sago ot
Seymour Park rehearsed ancient his
tory , Including the exciting and stormy
campaigns when the cruel war was rag
ing. Ilo described his experiences in
the burnt district , paid a tribute to
Horatio Seymour , scored the republicans
roundly for counting Nebraska Into the
union by the Hook 131utTs fraud and im
plored the domociMts of the present
generation to nvongo the wrongs of
tholr ancestors. Sterling Merion exhorted -
hortod democrats to got together and
make ono moro desperate olTort to regain
control of the federal llesh pots. Gover
nor Holes tearfully deplored the wrongs
which the farmer is subjected to and
congratulated the country on Its impend
ing deliverance.
This was all very Interesting , but
wlion midnight cnmo and the love feast
was over an inquisitive Samosot bravo
asked , "Watchman , what of the night ? "
and a very indiscreet railroad capper
responded : "All ia well ; wo have got
Hoyd hypnotized. "
COUXKKT , TO .1 C.IXDIDATR.
It is not apparent that Governor1 Boies
has anything to gain , in a , political way ,
by still soukinc to justify what ho said
in Now York moro than : i year ago re-
uarding the excess of cost over value in
producing an acre of corn in Iowa. The
testimony upon which ho based hisstato-
mont came fiom a very small fraction of
the farmers of Iowa , not a sulllciont
number to furnish a fair basis from
which to judge results in the cntiro
stata , but regardldss of this it has
nothing to do with present conditions.
In his message to the present legisla
ture Governor Boies said that "at no
time in the history of Iowa has her poo-
nlo bcon blessed with moro prosperity
than they now enjoy , " and he applied
this to all interests in the stato. This
was said , bo it remembered , moro than
a year after the present tariff law went
into effect , so that if there v.as anv pro
priety or justice in holding tlio tariff re
sponsible in December , IS'JO ' , for thocon-
dition of the farmers , it is equally proper
and just to give the tariff credit for their
covdition in January , 18 ! ) " .
Governor Boles is receiving a ( rood
deal of attention at present as the pos
sible ohoico of the democratic national
convention for a place on the presi
dential ticket , and his dolivoranccs will
bo carefully considered by way of esti
mating his intellectual equipment for
party leadership. lie is likely to bo
given numerous opportunities foi an
expression of his political vio\vs , and ho
c.innot bo too judicious in the matter
and manner of his speech. tt will bo
remembered , for instance , that in ad
dressing the Groystono club of Denver a
short time ago ho caused great disap
pointment by making no reference to
silver , a democratic organ there going
so far as to say that this omission de
stroyed any ehanco ho might have .had
ot being a candidate for Iho presidency.
There is diversity of opinion in the
democratic party regarding the tariff.
or rather the method of treating it , and
Governor Boies tnimt keep this fact in
view.
The position of a possible candidate is
a delicate and sometimes a ditliuult ono.
Ho Is anxiously and moro or le.ss envi
ously watched by rivals , and everything
ho says , is subjected to clot-o attention
and careful criticism. Everybody under
stands that Governor Boles is a possible
candidate fora place on the national
ticket of his party , and ho thcreforo
needs to exercise the utmost discretion
in his utterances and to apply himself
as far as possible to the consideration
of present conditions. There have been
notable changes since December. 1800 ,
when the governor made his memorable
address at the banquet of free trade
democrats in New York ( Jity.
Tllll JlATl'lilS IN THK I1OIJSK.
Republicans can regard with entire
complacency the interesting contest
that is going on between the factions of
the democratic majority in the house of
representatives. Whether Mr. Springer
shall succeed in having his bill for the
repeal of the wool duties givou prece
dence over silver , or Mr. Bland shnll'bo
able to crowd his free coinage measure
to the front , either will bo acceptable to
the republicans , and there is no way in
which the contest cuii oiul that repub
lican interests will not bo bonolited. If
the anti-silver democrats , who are ng-
grosslvo and determined , are successful
in defeating the immediate purpose of
thu free coinage advocate. Iho oll'oct
must bo to widen the bro.tch between
the factions , not only in the house but
in the country. The fooling between
these elements is obviously very strong.
The report of the minority of the com *
mlttoo on coinage , weights and measures
on the Bland free coinage bill clearly
shows tills. The position taken in that
report loaves no room for compromise.
It condemns the policy of free coinage
in unqualified terms , declaring that in
effect it would bo repudiation. No re
publican opposition to free coinage has
taken stronger grounds than nro urged
by the minority of the democrats in the
ooitiage committee against the monsuro
approved by the majority. To lunko
thu Bland bill understood as a monsuro
of repudiation , says the report of the
minority , in to secure" Its defeat , and It
proceeds to show iu a very cov'ont and
conclusive way why it should bo so re
garded.
This roprasonts aihteru dmuooratiu
soutiuient as oppoijil to that of thu w-e t
nnd south , and it Is irreconcilable.
I'ho silver men , It Is apparent , intend to
spare no effort to bring this question to a
\oto with as little delay ns possible.
The division of sentiment regarding
what should bo done with the taidfT Islet
lot less strongly doflncdi If the policy
of Mr. Springer , supported by a major-
ty of the ways and moans committee ,
> rovalled , Mr. Mills and his followers
would experience n keen dissatisfaction.
They still maintain that the democracy
cannot afford to merely attack the tariff
n detail , but is bound by pk'dgo and by
every consideration of sound parly pol-
oy to bring forward a moasura of gen
eral revision. Anything short of this
they regard in offout a surrender , and
they threaten to m iko a fight to avert
such it result. They may lie beaten , but
that will not improve the fooling between -
twoon the factions.
The situation from a political point of
view Is thus soon to bo very interesting.
Tlio battle in the house will hardly have
i decisive issue there. It will bo con
tinued in the democratic national con
vention , which after all must bo the
irbltor of the policy of Iho party. Some
capital has already boon made for Iho
republican party and there Is favorable
promise of a great deal moro.

Tlio debate In the council over the
proposition to II x the wages of day la
borers employed by the si root commis
sioner at $1.75 a day drew forth the
usual amount ot political palaver with
which workln tnun are humbugged by
politicians.
The councilman who talked loudest
about tholr sympathy for the poor workingman -
ingman were talking to the grand stand.
They could give no valid reason why tlio
city should pay higher wages for labor
ers than the highest wage ? paid by con
tractors and other omployor.s. The men
on the street commissioner's pay roll
got $2 for eight hours work a day , while
other laborers who are compelled to
work nine and ten hours a day only got
$1.60 to $1.7.r > . The laborers employed
by Iho Board ot Public Works only got
$1.50 a day. Why should laborers work
ing under the street commissioner got
half a dollar a day moro than men who
work for the c'ity elsewhere ?
Does any sane man pretend that pay
ing $2 a day to forty or fifty laborers will
raise the wages of laborers in private
employment ono penny a week ? lias
any contractor or employer of labor over
regulated the wages paid to laborers by
the scale of wages paid by the city ? Do
not all the wage-workers who pay taxes
have to contribute their proportion , how-
vor small it may be , toward this preferred
class of laborers , who Invo in former
years always been made' to do political
dirty work in the primaries in return
for the favor ? they enjoyed ? ft is not a
question as to the amount of wages paid ,
but it is wrong to rob Peter to pay Paul.
The w.iv to help workingmen is to got
work for the largest number that can bo
employed at living wages with the moans
at our command. Suppose wo have $10-
000 in the wngo fund at the disposal of
the street commissioner. At So a day
wo could employ ol ) laborers for 40
days. At $2.50 a day wo could employ
100 men for 40 days or oO men for 80
days. At 82 a day wo could employ 50
mon for 100 days or 100 men for . " > 0 days.
At $1.7o wo could emnloy " > 7 mon for 100
days or 114 men for oO days. In other
words , without pinching the laborers wo
could employ 14 moro mon for 50 days
than wo could by pajing 2o cents a day
moro than the highest prevailing wage.
That is precisely 'what worUJngtnoii
have been contending for when they du-
mand the eight-hour day. They want
opportunity for work at living wages for
the largest number ,

When Mayor Gushing turned the oftloo
over to Mayor elect Bemis the water works
'
company w'as divided against Itself and om-
broilmi in litigation. The six months' by-
drun I rental had Just fallan duo , but the
factional lipht and not the delay in the payment
mentof hydrant rental had caused the default -
fault in the company's interest. Mayor
Gushing very properly refused to nulhorizo
the payment of Iho $ 'J7OOU to the water
works company until the courts had indi
cated which faction was entitled to it.
W < M-lli raid.
What particular advantage would
Om ilia have derived from holding back
the rental which the city justly owed ?
The bill was audited by Comptroller
Goodrich and passed by the council. If
Mayor dishing had uny doubts about
the propriety of paying it why did ho
not return it to the council with ills
veto ? vVhy did ho leave this bill with
the entire appropriation ordinance for
December unsigned on his desk and
thus force Mayor Bemis to take action
on appropriations with which Gushing
waa familiar and which he was in honor
and duty bound to either approve or
disapprove.
In the language of Tim Mahoney ,
"God hates a coward. " Had Mayor
Bemis lacked moral stamina ho would
have returned the or.llnanco unsigned
and it would have become a law just the
sumo a if Uubhing had signed It , But
BemiH is not a bkulkur. TIu votoud
such items in the ordinance as ho bo-
llovod to bo irregular or excessive , and
approved the rest. Instead of being
traduced and having his motives im-
pungod iio ought to bo commanded for
exacting from the water works company
a concession for relocating hydrants ,
whliih will save the city $5,000 a year
hydrant rental during the unoxpirod
torn , of the city's contract with tlio
water works company ,
But you can't expect decency or justice
at the hands of unprincipled dem

CONGUKSSMAN MOHSK Of > IllHfla-
chubotts has bouomo known all over , the
country as the inveterate enemy of the

repealed and has introduced n bill for
that purpose. A similar bill was intro
duced in the last congivs , getting very
little attention , owing largpjy tp , .tho
fact , doubtless , that Us author failed to
present any hound or satisfactory
reasons why the act should bo repealed.
Mr. Morse is undoubtedly blnooro in th ?
belief thut the law works more harm
than good , a great many people in I0n *
gland being of this view , but the very
general sentiment of tlie country is to
the contrary , and no party will venture
to assume the responsibility of doing
away with this moaiib of railroad regu

of its ineffectiveness than is now

linn. ] Tlio contest Instituted by Uovornor
Thayer , and which nrovontod Governor
Uoyd from exorcising the functions of the
ofllco to which ho hnd boon elected for nearly
a year , hns passed Into the historical nnnats
of the Btato. Hut thcro Is ono tnoro chapter
and that wn * completed by an opinion
handed down by Chief Justice Maxwell ot
the Nebraska supreme court toilny. tt
will bo remembered that last May when
the supreme court of Nebraska sustained
Governor Tlmyiir's ' demurrer to CJovornor
Hoyd's answer and thus ejected the
laltor from Iho oxocutlvo odlco , Judge Max
well dissontud on the question of citizenship.
In the opinion handed down today the chief
Justice explains that at that time ho supposed
time would bo given for Governor Uoyd's
attorneys to amend the answer. H'j based
his belief on the provision of section 11(1 ( of
the cede which provides ; "If the demurrer
bo sustained , the adverse party may amend ,
if the defect cnn bo remedied by way of
amendment , with or without costs , us the
coart In Its discretion shall direct. " Gov
ernor lloyd's answer , continues the opinion ,
was clearly ntnelidable.
Oncstloil ol Siirt'iMston.
Continuing , the opinion says : "When I
prepared my opinion In May last I supposed
that leave to umcnd would oo given if de
sired , and therefore expressly sny In that
opinion that 1 had not examined thu question
ns to the succession in cnso Boyd wns ro
moved. The question of the succession
seempil to be of considerable Importance , nnd
as the court at the outset had miulo thu order
permitting Iho relater to institute the action
so far conditional that It would permit the
lieutenant Kovornor to Intervene If ho saw
lit to do so , It was but reasonable to
expect , therefore , thut in case
the defendant , vas found not entitled to
hold the ofllco that the case would be sot
down for argument as to the proper person to
.succeed him nnd thut no conclusion would bo
reached until after such argument. When
the majority opinion was Illud , however , it
appeared that my associates did not so under
stand the case , but proceeded to decide that
the relater was on titled to the ofllco.
* * * 1 have deferred IllinR ray views
upon the questions indicated until that uroat
tribunal ( the United States supreme court )
had determined the main question , which It
has now done In a manner creditable to the
court.1
\VnuUI I.mil to Aimrrhy.
Alluding to the laiu-impo of the majority
opinion of last May , the chief justice contin
ues : "This IntiKuapo , If I understand it cor
rectly , moans that the voters of the state , al
though they may every ono cast tholr votes for
an Individual for tnc oftlcoof governor mid the
person so chosen may take the octh and glvo
the bond required by law and outer upon the
duties of the olllco , yet the Incumbent may
set Himself up as Judge , jury and bonollclnry
in the case , and for .some alleged onuso refuse
to surrender the oflleo to the person lawfully
chosen by the electors of the state. Ho
may not only do this , but may fill his
apartments with armed men to assqrt
his alleged rights iu thu premises In dollanco
of too will of the people and thus brine reproach
institutions. * *
preach upon republican
If It is a proper rule to imply In the con
struction of a state constitution , it will bo
found equally applicable when applied to the
constitution of the United States , nnd thus
become settled law that thn incumbent in an
onlca irny retain the same notxvithstaiidluc ;
another has boon chosen to lill the place and
has qualilicd and accepted the position. It
i > a startling doctrine. Thcro are times iu
the history of every nation nnd state , when ,
from n conjunction of circumstances , such a
rule might bo used to dpfoat tbo proper will
if not create unarcuy and the destruction
of free government. "
Mijur : thu Man , Not Tlmyor.
Chief Justice Maxwell then argues at
length to provo tnat the proper person to till
the executive ofllco when Governor Boyd was
declared Ineligible by a majority of the court ,
wns the lieutenant governor. Ho assorts
that the decision was reached only by a dis
tortion of Hie plain meaning of the constitu
tion. Ho said : "A forced and unnatural
construction of language either In a constitu
tion , statute , contract or other instrument , is
liable to bo fraught with wrong and injustice
and leaves uncertain what view may bo taken
bv tne court of any Instrument or document
and hence tends to unsottlu and render un
certain tno law upon the plainest proposition ,
and hence that mode of construction is gen
erally discarded by the courts. In
addition to what has been said as
to the right of the lieutenant gov
ernor to succeed the governor , it will
bo noticed thut there Is no provision in case
of vacancy for electing a governor at the
next couoral election after the vacancy oc
curs. Hence , if the position of the majority
of the court is right a man who did not receive -
ceivo a single vote for the olllco may hold ttio
ofllco of governor of the state for two yoaw
at least , and us much longer as possible ; und
this government of the people by tno people
bo dofontod and the tlrst stop taken to Mox-
Icanlzo the govurnniont of the state. * * *
In any view of thu case , therefore , the re
later ceased to bo governor of this state on
January T , IS'.ll. ' and since that time had no
right to bring lha action or hold the ofllco of
governor. "
