Tun delegate wlio trades Ills proxy
for a pass should nnd will bo Hhunncd by
the honest members of his own party.
THK delegate who gets Into the state
convonlion with a proxy in his luind is
pretty siiry to have n puss in his pocket.
Tin : Hilvor debate has nt least liad the
good effect of Hhnlting off the ill-advised
talk about annexing the Sandwich isl
ands.
IT IS somewhat remarkable and also
significant that not a single democrat
has boon faoriously "inontionud" for the
BUpromo court nomination.
Tiiuiti : nro very few voters of any ,
party in Nebraska who will bo willing1
to elevate any man to the supreme bench
who has had no judicial experience in
the lower courts.
A UANK failure in these later summer
days ifi a rarity. The comptroller of
V' ' i the currency finds his entire time taken
up with the banks that are ready to re
open their doora.
Now LOGIC for vigorous denials in the
corporation organs of the telegrams an
nouncing the instruction of delegates for
Maxwell. The railroads will break
down the instructions if such a thing can
possibly bo done. '
IP YOU don't believe that the opposi l-
tion to Judge .Maxwell comes from the
men who are interested in maintaining i T
railroad and corporation supremacy in
Nebraska , just analy/.o the character of
the men who arc doing the most to de
feat his ronomination.
TIIK scheme to nominate a railroad
attorney for judge of the supreme
court and then place him on a plat |
form mndu up of high sounding but
meaningless anti-monopoly planks will
fail to catch the voters in Nebraska this
year. The man must fit the platform or |
ho will bo repudiated at the polls.
JUDGE UAYWAKD says in nn inter
view that ho is not seeking a nomina 1
tion for the supreme bench , but that ho
has succumbed to the entreaties and (
importunities of friends. Will the judge
be good enough /to / name his friends ?
Ho has been at Lincoln most of this
week. Are his friends all in the state
house ?
THE democrats of Council BI nil's have
swallowed the state platform , money
plank and all. It oya
may not bo so easy oyw
matter for Omaha democrats to follow >
the example. Fact is , that when the
democratic county convention meets in
this city there will bo nothing loft of
the angelic harmony so often said to prevail -
vail hereabouts.
THE bill permitting the sale of the
state Fallno lands will pass in review
?
before the Nebraska supreme court. For
that reason the men who are interested
in eoonring the lands for a more fraction
of their actual value are working to
defeat the oiTorts of _
the people who are
demanding an able , fearless and un
prejudiced supreme bench.
TIIK democratic majority in congress
cannot bo so very formidable uftor all
when the leaders are compelled to apply '
the party lush in order to command hoof
attendance of a snlllciont number of
votes to overcome the republican minor
ity. Tills ban already happened during
the pros-out week and it ia likely to be
come 0110 of thefeatuics of the special
bosslon ,
IK TIIIJ World'B fair is not a financial
success it will not be the fault of the
railroad strikers who are manipulating
county conventions in Nebiuska against :
the interests of Judge Maxwell. Nearly :
a coach load of passengers from ono of
the interior counties of the state passed
through Omaha last evening and every
male member of the party had boon i a
railroad delegate in a county on
that selected an anti-Maxwell ion
to the state convention.
TIIK democrats in the United States
sonata are opposed to oloturo because
they Bay that it is contrary to the spirit
and traditions of the party , If the demo
crats could manage to out loose from
their traditions and go to work tlio
country might bo spared the clo
which now presents Itself daily in the
touato. Traditions are all very well in
their way , but the party that substitutes
Ideas for traditions Is the ono that ren
ders the country tbo most oftcoilvo ser- .
rlco.

Thore1 hai boon a great deal said of
late about political dictation nnd the
duty of thn republican party to resent
the nllonipt of ono man to force upon
the party hta pet candidate by predict
ing disaster for everybody olsi . There
has boon no attempt to dictate , there
have been no threats of boiling , and
there has been no attempt to frighten
the parly int-i subjection by imaginary
bugbears. When a signal ofllcor fore
sees the approach of a storm and hoists
the danger flag ho does not invoke the
hurricane nor become responsible for
the fatalities of the cyclone. When an
editor warns his party against an approaching
preaching political landslide , is ho sup
posed to bo the cause of the disaster ho
foresees and predicts ? A political strati-
dlcr and trimmer keeps still and waits
for the oat to jump before ho opens his
month. A courageous man of convic
tion will not play the weather cock and
lot the party drift upon the rocks.
The question that every loyal repub
lican asks himself in n close election is ,
who among Iho candidates is the most
available ? Who can poll the heaviest
vote ? And when it boeJino ? paiont who
this candidate is every man who desires
to see his party march to victory falls
into line and bolus to place him in front
of the column. Now if anybody can
name a republican lawyer qualillod for
a place on the supreme bench who will
poll as largo a vote as Maxwell Tin :
BII : : will very cheerfully give him its
support. If any man c.in bj named who
is sure to draw as largo a support
from the great mass of demo
cratic and independent voters wo
will exert all our Inlluonco to
help nominate him. But up to this
time no such man has boon proposed.
Every candidate so far named i1 * either
without any experience on the bench or
handicapped by relations to oorpora-
lions and Iho malodorous btato house
ring that would lose him thousands of
republican votes if the party dared to
present him for their sulli-ages.
This assertion is not an idle threat
nor ti reckless draft upon the imagina
tion. It is a candid and truthful ptate-
ment. The lawyers that present them
selves as competitors with Judge Max
well in thi' race for the supreme judgeship -
ship aio one and all either tainted with
railroadism or pushed to the front to
vindicate the impeached state olllcers
by turning. down Maxwell. With such
baneful influences exerted in their favor
.they naturally bay tlioinbclvos from
popular confidence , and that means sure
defeat ut the polls if they succeed in the
convention.
Under such peculiar circumstances
Judge Maxwell's
candidacy becomes a
political necessity. lie stands as the
highest typo of that republicanism
which for more than a quarter of a cen
tury was entrusted by the people of
America with the reins of government.
Ho is the embodiment of the principles
and pledges enunciated in topublican
platforms. IIo is the ideal nonparligan
judge who interprets the constitution
without fear or favor , regardless of
partisan bias or partisan advantage.
As judge of the supreme court ho knows
no republicans , no democrats , no pro
hibitionists , no populists. Ho knows
only the American citi/.en , his bill of
rights and the constitutional guaranties
that ate the bulwark of our free institu
tions. With Maxwell at the head of the
ticket republicans will have nothing
to explain away , nothing to defend -
fond or apologise for. His name Is a
synonym of integrity and with aim on
the ticket no platform pledges will be
necessary. Maxwell is the most available
candidate the party can name in this
emergency. In fact , he is the only can-
didato with whom the party could feel
assured in advance of victory. His can
didacy would not only regenerate the
party but strengthen every candidate
on a coniUy republican ticket , and for
that reason THE Bic : advocates his ro- '
nomination.
OF ] it A ix iionnKitr.
Two train robberies and ono unsuc
cessful attempt at robbery have taken
place within the last two weeks , all of
them in comparatively pipttlous parts of
the country. In ono case , that in Indi
ana , \\horo the robbers captured a con
siderable sum of money , the exact
amount of which has never been publicly
stated , the work was BO well done that
none of the rascals have boon arrested ,
or if any of them are in durance the
fact has not been rovoalod. ' Sjfaras
the public knows they hUi'ceedod in getting -
ting away with all their plunder and
are Btill at largo. No moro carefully
planned robbery ha ? occurred in the his'
tory of ' those episodes , as judged
by tlio facts made public , and there is
ovo-y reason to believe that among those
concerned in it were mon in the sortr-
ice of the express company and the rall-
road , who know all abDtit the conditions
which favored n sttceossftil robbery. The
robbery of the train in Michigan , in
which the robbers carried oil some :
$70,000 , it is now known from the ar-
rest of most of the parties , was partici
pated in by the express messenger who
had charge of the money , ono or , vend
employes of the railroad ujinpuny and
several other parties who were not before )
fore criminals. Tlio last episode )0of
this kind , reported iu our columns
today , involves a mau who had
been in the railroad Horvico as a
loader in the projected robbery , which
was attempted In a thickly populated
portion of the oJtmtry , and but for the
courage of the trainmen a fact that
cannot bo too strongly emphasized I
doubtless would have boon successful.
What is to bo done to check this opi-
domie of train robbery , peculiar to this
country , in a question which 1ms in-
doubtedly occurred to nearly everybody ,
and all must recognize that It is a ques
tion ol urgent importance , An adequate ,
protection must bo provided , nnd the
sooner thp bolter. Humiliating as U is
to the American people that such a state
of affairs exists hero needing legislation ,
novurtholoss uompthing must bo done >
tlmt will roach the ovll and romoyo It.
The committco on interstate commerce
of the house of representatives has i
under consideration a bill aimed at this
evil. It provides that In case of the
destruction of the lives of passengers
and employes by any derailment or attempted -
tempted robbery , the penalty on couvlc-
I tion of the guilty party or jartlos shall
bo death , nnd whore no Itw of life
occurs the offenders shall ettlTor im
prisonment from one year to twenty
years at hard labor. Such a law would
undoubtedly have a deterrent influence ,
but railroad and express companion
mint provide bettor moans of protection.
The epidemic of train robbery mint bo
summarily stopped.
, AUJttCIIATlC 8PUARKH *
At last the democratic majority In the
house of representatives has proclaimed
its determination lo throttle the minor
ity , regardless of the rights of the lat-
tor. In order to do thi- < the speaker , as
evidenced in the proceedings of the
house on Wednesday , has practically
assumed autocratic powers. The ox
traordlnnry course of Speaker Crisp on
Wednesday should not fall to arrest the
earnest attention of the country. It was
without precedent and In all essential
rnspects it wa revolutionary in its
character. To all intonls and pur-
poses the speaker refused to give
the minority any of the rights
which have always boon recognized a ?
belonging te > it , and by ml ing j which
would not bo sustained by any parlia
mentary body in the world not under
monarchical domination enabled the
majority to carry out its progtam.
It is perhaps uniiooossary tt > cjnsldor
in detail the character and the p-wslbl o
ollccts of the rulings made by Speaker
Crisp in order to override the minority ,
but everybody can understand what is
involved in an absolute refusal of the
speaker to entertain tin appeal from
his decision. When it is conceded
that the presiding olllcor of a
legislative body can , 113 ojc-Spoakor
Rued expressed it , violate the
sacred right of appeal as was done on
Wednesday , the power of such presiding
olllcor becomes practically absolute and
,
. there ) is no restriction upon his despotic
power. ) ( After anoh an exhibition as was
made by the democrats * of the house of
representatives two days ago , in the
eagerness of their dosirn to overcome
tlio ! republican opposition to admitting
the report in the rpuoal of the federal
election laws , they have no right to
further : criticise what was done in the
Fifty-first congress. Whatever may
have been done in the preceding congress
tc further the cau o ol legislation ,
it cannot bo said that a single
act ( of the speaker or of tlio cotmnitleo
on ] rules went to any such despotic
length as did the rulings of Speaker
Crisp in refusing to entertain appeals
from decisions which the minority believed i-
lioved to bo unjust and unsound , and in
peremptorily deciding that certain
motions were not in order because they
militated against the program which
the majority had planned to carry out.
The country will not fail to notice the
arbitrary courtio of the speaker of the
house in this matter , nor will it fail to
remember the i cason for it. The ques
tion of providing rules for the house
which would have allowed the majority
to carry out its policy without doing any
violence to the minority had been con
sidered , but in order to avoid any recog
nition of the rules of a republican congress -
gross , every suggestion in line with the
parliamentary policy of the house of
representatives of the Fifty-first congress -
gross was rejected. Finding their mis 13
take , the majority lias had recourse to amore
moro summary policy , and as was paid
by ox'-Spoakor Rood , they have under [
taken to "out-Herod Herod , " by allow
ing the speaker to assume an arbitrary
power unprecedented in the history %
tlio eovormnont. Never has the demo
cratic party been mor6 defiantly high 01
handed than in this instance , and the
American people will not forget it.
Farnam street is and doubtless .11
continue to bo the
principal business
thoroughfare of Omaha. The principal
bunlcH , the public buildings , except the
pobtofllco , are firmly anchored on the
street and so are the most imposing and
commodious olllco buildings and princi : i-
pal newspaper concerns. It is admitted
on all hands that a great blunder was
perpetrated in llio establishing the
grade of upper Farnam street. With
cuts of from five to ton feet on the crest
of the hills and corresponding filling in
the depressed street levels , a very de
cided improvement citild bo made.
The change on upper Douglas shows
what can bo done for a street b" re '
ducing the grades and readjusting 'fllC
levels of abutting lots.
Upper Farnam street west of Twenty-
third hab becomeoneof our most sightly
residence streets , but it Is now almost
innecesbiblo to carriages by reason of
heavy grades and demoralized wooden
block pavement. At the farthest the !
btreot must bo ropavod within two years
if it is to bo passable for vehicles. But
before repaying is begun the grade
should by all muaiis bo reduced. The
change may involve the payment of dam :
ages to a few property owners , but the
property benefited could well afford to
boar the oxponao. In fact , the greater
part of the property west of Twentieth
will bo onormoiibly enhanced in valno by
a reduction of grade. bids
Whatever doubt existed as regards
the trend of business westward when
Eighteenth mid Farnam was proposed
us the most eligible site for the post-
olllco no intelligent observer entertains
any doubt that Eighteenth and Farnam
will bo the grand crossing of the business
Sixt
ness cantor of Omaha within the next
ton years , whether the McShano hotel
materialises or not. The grand hotel Lolof
Omaha will bo above Eighteenth
street , either on Farnam or Doug
las or on bath of those streets.
It1 la the natural location for ts.a
great hostelry on account of on
and because It will bo more accessible to
the muss of our population , who already
reside west of Eighteenth , in fact west
of Twenty-fourth street ,
It would manifestly 1 > 3 a great detri
ment to Omaha to leave upper Farnam
street permanently disfigured by deep
ravines and heavy grades when the .
street can bo converted into a grand
boulevard by the expenditure of less
than $100,000. Every dollar expended will
add 810 totho valtio of every foot of prop
erty on the street , and many thousands
of dollars to the value of property on
streets that cross Farnum west of
Twenty-third or terminate In that thor-
otighfaro. The prunt trouble hi the past
hns boon ? jmt wo do things by
halves Instead tf making n thorough job
of whnl wo iThflbrtako. This w.ts true
of the Farim/n / street grade , as It was of
St. Mary's avenue , which could have
remained a'horoughfaro instead of
looking llko a country road running
into a dcsort d'Siiburb. '
It is time Ujat , the people Interested on
upper Fat naniishoiild begin to agitate
the iinpro\cfnb'lil and repairing of that
strnct so that they may bo able to bring
the matter butoro the council at an early
day. - _
Tut : democratic state central commit
. tee ( has a pretty kettle of fish on its
hand" . The problem before It just now
is how to placate Uryan's free silver
followers and secure the endorsement
of a financial plank In the state plat-
form ' . ' In line with the views of t'rosldcnt
Cleveland. Chairman Martin is be
fuddled. He fears the result if Bryan
puts in an appearance with his silvor-
tongued ' appeal , which mr.y prove to bo
Irresistible. Tobo Castor in in favor of
giving Bryan a complimontry resolu
tion and at the sumo time pledging
undying fealty to white winged G rover.
Secretary Morton has written a few
lotlers showing \\horo Tobo gets his in
spiration ] and brandishing the party whip' '
over the heads of obstreperous ollico
hunters , it is given out cold that any
democrat who dares to hurl defiance at
the wish of the president will bo forever
'
in federal patronage. Wherever this
tin cat has been made it has only in
censed the faithful and benighted fol
lowers of Andrew Jackson , who declare
that they will sco Chairman Martin
pilloried before they will submit. In

follows kill one another off.
IN COUNTIES where the popnlistuhavo
made great inroads into the republican
ranks and carried olT some of the most
active members of that party there is a
manifest disposition on the part of re
publicans now to profit by past experi
ence. They realize that tlio man who
runs for supreme judge this yo.ir must
have a record that is not in conflict
with the platforms of 1800 and 1802 on
the restrictions of corporate monopoly
and regulation of railroad rates. They
realize , moreover , that ho must bo a
man who does not owe his nomination to
the state house jring and penitentiary
gang of bjodlpcS. They recognize in
Judge Maxwell the man for this emor-
goncy , and they have mot the issue by
instructing thotrjdologates to the state
convention to support Maxwell. This
is notably true "of former republican
strongholds lik'o JJurt , Ouster , Buffalo.
Fillmore and Washington counties.
