HKt'K.iUNO TUB KLKCTIOX lA.irs ,
The democratic majority in the homo
of representatives has successfully car
ried out the first atop in its program
for the repeal of the federal election
laws , The bill blotting from the
statute book every loglflutivo guarantee
for the enforcement of the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution has
passed the house by a strictly party
vote , without n single hitch in the pre
arranged plan , whluh called for the re
jection of every amendment. No ono
who has been at all conversant with
the projects and forces of the demo
crat ! j lenders during the past fortnight
coulo have expected any different re
sult. The eradication of all so-called
war legislation has boon de mnmlod by
the now dominant southern wing of the
democracy , and they have boon easily
able to bring their northern allies into
line with their expressed wishes. The
now rules of the house have stripped Iho
republican minority of all power to op
pose every tuch mcasuro except by their
protesting votes , while the well known
approval of the president prevented the
defection of any northern member , however -
over dissatisfied with the Tucker bill ho
might have been.
The federal election laws wore enacted
to protect the negro in the exorcise of
the political rights which nero con
ferred upon him by tlio last two amend
ments to ilio federal constitution. They
wore called forth by the persistent per
petration of ballot box outrages In the
south , and while they are general in
scope and equally applicable to all sec
tions of the country , the evils sought to
bo remedied by them were strictly local
in their nature. These evils exist today
in certain regions of the south to the
same extent that they did when the laws
were enacted. This is duo of course to
the fact that those laws wore never
rigidly enforced , but that they had some
good results in effecting their purpose is
cxident from the very fact that the
southern democrats feel the restraint
and consequently tislc for repeal.
As lo the constitutionality of the laws ,
that has long boon beyond question.
They apply only to elections of federal
olllccrs and need not interfere in the
least with elections for state ofllcors.
Despite a cry now and then upon the
floor of the houfao that congress ex
ceeded its legitimate powers when It
passed the federal election laws , their
validity has boon repeatedly uphold by
the United States court1 * . Some of the
most ardent advocates of the Tucker bill
woio forced to concede that the power
of congress to regulate the federal
elections is indisputable and to rest their
plea for Its passage upon the ground of
expediency alone.
The comparatively mild test over the
Tuoker bill in the house by no means
betokens for it a similar career in the
&cnato. - The senate rules give the
minority the power to obstruct legisla
tion which it may think detrimental to
the interests of the country , and repub-
lica.n senators are bound to nso every
legitimate means in their control to pre
vent the repeal of tlio existing election
laws. Because they are now unonforcod
in ho many places does not signify that
they nro utterly useless. Their repeal
would bo a powerful incentive to a ro-
uoual of all the outrageous proceedings
that were but too prevalent during the
reconstruction periou. The Tucker bill
has no possible chance of becoming law
during the present congress. Its pas
sage through the lower IIOUMI is merely
indicative of what sacrifices the south
demands from the northern democracy.
The main object of having one-half of
the council elected at largo that is ,
voted for by the electors of the whole
city , was to sconro a higher grade of
councllmcn than are usually chosen by
the ward caucus. It was presumed that
conneilmen-at-largo would bo oiti/.ons
who by long residence and prominence
may have become known to a majority
of the voters. It was expected that the
choice would not be restricted to ono
man from each ward , but that locality
would bo secondary to qualification and
standing in the community. Unfor
tunately the number of councilmen-at-
large was made to correspond with the
number of wards , and that fact enabled
the ward politicians to trade , &o that the
man who could got a majority of the
delegates of his own ward became the
uliuico of the city convention , which
practically nullifies the prime object of
the liuv ttntl makes our oouiieilmou-at-
lurtre simply ward counollmon.
The pernicious otToots of solcction by
wards Instead of selection by the whole
convention ia strikingly shown by the
action of the republican city convention ,
which refused to rcnomliutte n tiiithful
nntl competent councilman like George
l'Munro ' nnd foisted upon the ticket ut
least three candidates wlio are notoriously -
ously unlit for any place on the ticket.
Oimvlia is n corjwratlon with more
than $100,000,000 , worth of property.
The council Is a board of directors to
manage its affairs. The men who are to
iibsinno this great trust should at least
bo citizens who have a fair reputation
for integrity and are not discredited
with their grocei s and butchers. When
Hiiy party allows itself to endorse men
of questionable character it forces the
rank and file to look oloowhoro.
No taxpayer will knowingly vote to
make any man the custodian of the
citv's affairs whom ho would not employ
as a olerk or trust out of sight with $2T
worth of morchandibo. There la only
one thing for men who desire good
government to do and that Is to make i
their pink of councilman from the list
presented by all the parties and 011-
deavor to prevent the election of the
ll.in NKllllAbK.l IN MIND.
Bv what process of political mechanism
ronculvnblo to the human Intellect can a
few odious , unprincipled , discredited and
unworthy schemers continue through a
lonpsorleaof joars , mllustonud with illus
trious victories , to toriorlzo and dominate
/ens , and to register anil ouforco decrees
obnoxious to that vast multitudef .VHo
Tort.Sun. .
When the venerable Charles A , Dana
penned the above lines ho was address

history of the republican party of this
htato is Iho chronicles of n long con
tinued struggle between the honest
masses of the party and a junta made
up of unprincipled men who have forced
themselves to tlm front and who , backed
by money and influence of the corpora

primaries , pack conventions and djctnto

the republican party of Nebraska. They
simply throttle It.
KUMUHS 01' ItUXD ISsURS.
Repeated ] rumors have come from
Washington that the administration has
become reconciled to the policy of bond
issues to strengthen the credit of the
government , and that It 1ms boon sounding
Ini the linanclal centers of Europe as
to the prospects of floating n United
States gold loan. According to those
reports ] tlio president's confidence In
the successful outcome of the repeal
bill has boon considerably shaken by
tin events oi the past few weeks. IIo
sees ( that continuous purchases of silver
and the constant increase of the outstand
ing i l currency b.ised on those silver pur
chases can only bo sustained by an en
larged gold reserve In tlio treasury.
For months the legal limit of $100-
000,000 1ms boon trenched upon , at pres
ent to the extent of some $10,000,000 ,
and only the popular confidence In the
security of the government's pledges
has prevented the prosantntion of largo
quantities of paper for redemption in
gold. Add to those circumstances the
ru of frequent conferences between
th secretary of the treasury anrt
prominent bankers of the east and wo
have the groundwork for a fairly plaus
ible story of impending bond issues.
But whatever bo the plausibility of
thobo rumored bond issues as a balstor
to the public credit the attitude of the
president and his confidential advibors
has up to this time been such as to
argue against their reliability. The
unlltiiching stand taken by President
Cleveland in opposition to all efforts at
compromise hi on the pending repeal bill
hiP' iiuiivtin uiiuuiuu uiuuiib LU a HUIJ UJ
proposition for half-way measures. No
few of the proposed amendment ? to the
bill reported by the finance committee
include in their 'provisions ' the author
ization \ of bond issues to sustain the
credit of the government and to servo
as a reserve against any threatened dis
parity of values between the two money
metals at their legal ratio. But these
compromise measures have received no
moro encouragement from the administration -
tration than has that providing for free
and unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver.
Another fact that weighs against the
credibility ot these reports is the inac
tion of the secretary of the treasury lust
spring when the first Inroads were made
upon the supposed Inviolability of the
gold reserve. Although repeatedly
urged to .interpret the law as authoriz
ing him to maintain the gold reserve up
to its full limit by selling gold bonds on
the market , Mr. Carlisle persistently
rofubcd to view the situation in any such
light and watched with complacency the
disappearance of the treasury's gold.
The condition of the gold reserve is now
sravcely moro alarming than it was at
that time. There is no raoro reason now
than then to invoke a power whose very
existence is denied on many sides.
Should there bo a very marked deficit
in the revenues of the government , duo
to the falling oft of imports , there
might bo a call made upon congress to
raise the required amount by a govern
ment loan. Such a loan , however ,
would need the special authorisation of
congress. Its purpose would bo to sup
ply the running expenses of the govern
ment , not to furnish a reserve to
strengthen the credit of the nation.
Until some marked change in the finan
cial situation intervenes there seems to
bo no domain ! for Increasing the inter
est charge of the government merely to
steady the workings oftho , vicious silver
purchase act. What Is wanted is the
immediate repeal of that act instead of
propping it up by Increased gold re
serves.
ACCORDING to the Lincoln Journal ,
the accredited organ of railroad repub
licanism in Nebraska , the issue in the
present campaign is not whioh of the
thrco candidates shall be elected to the
supreme bench , Lui whether tho' state
of Nebraska shall place a man on the
supreme bench who Is identified with
populism. For once our contemporary
tolls the truth. But It does not toll the
whole truth. The Issue forced upon the
people of Nebraska is populism or rail
road despotism. In other words , shall
the people surrender all their rights to
bclf government to a coterie of railroad
managers who have deprived them of
free selection of candidates by packing
conventions with mercenaries and foist
ing upon the party candidates who do
not represent their choice.
AMONG the members of the present
conrfcil who have boon endorsed for a
second term no man is moro deserving
than Mr. Jacobson of the Eighth ward.
Mr. Jacobann has proven himself con
scientious , faithful and unpurchasablo.
Ho endeavors in every instance to post
himself on the various subjects with
which the council has to deal and votes
according to his best judgment. No
corporation or contractor has been able
to control his vote. Ho is just the kind
of man the taxpaying citizens of Omaha
need in the municipal legislature.
WUKN a man is popular in his own
ward it Is prlma fueio proof that he
stands well with the people who know
him best. The fact that Councilman
Back carried his own ward against
Ernest Stuntwho is a very hard worker
and * had the backing of several monu/od
concerns and candidates , shows conclu
sively that Ills immediate constituency Is
well satisfied. Mr. Back earned his
ronornlnatian and will doubtless bo re
turned for a"Bocond term.
IF Tlin ollleials of the Interior depart
ment are so assured of their blamelessness -
ness in connection with the bhumelesd
speculation on the Cherokee Strip ,
why is it that they are so reluctant to
consent to an investigation by congress ?
THK county convention Saturday will
nominate six justices of the peace.
These are important ofllcos. Worn out
politicians and men of shady charnctor
have no place theftf , ' A peace justice is
the arbiter of th ' p'oor man's conten
tions , and malpractice in such courts
brings ropronch ti ] > on the whole judlcjal
system. Whiln the present law govern *
Ing justices of the peace has worked a
vast linprovcmonl'j'ye't there Is wanting
a close suporvlsiqUjpf higher authority
over the inside > norlting4 of justice
courts In some Instances. With honest ,
capable men in thcsd offices there can
bo no ground for eWfdalnt on any score.
The convention slibulfi give this
the consideration It deserves.
OUTSIDE of n factloji of heavy property
owners and chronic tax shirkers nobody
seems to pay the slightest hoed respect
ing the selection of assessors. Unequal
and favored appraisements is the legiti
mate result of such negligence upon the
part of conventions. The Interests of
holders of small properties are involved
in the selection of assessors. The con
vention Saturday cannot exercise too
much care In this matter. The olllco of
assessor is an important ono and calls
for the. best grade of men.
Tun countries in which the cholera

ity to do nil in their power to keep the

ships to sail for the United States and
thus to lorco upon this country tlio
bin den of supporting a vigorous quar
antine. Lot some of the quarantine reg
ulations bo applied to the ships before
they leave their European ports.
THK rolntroductlon of the anti-option
bill can scarcely bo taken to moan tha
the sentiment of congress In respect to
that measure has been materially al
tered since its failure of passage during
the Fifty-first congress. Its author
merely wants to keep It before the pub
lic. A second natural death awaits "It
in this congress.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 10. }
It was stated at the Treasury department
today that the real reason why the contract
had not boon awarded for the Omaha public
building was that the money which was ap
propriated by congress for the building had
been used for other purposes. It Is learned
thai most of the numoy which w.xs appro
priated nmlsoinslda for expenditure upon
public buildings has boon pnld out for ether
purposes and that there have bcon tiolays
upon the nxvnrahig of contracts upon n num
ber of federal buildings , both for the super
structures and for repairs , bocatiso the treas
ury was empty.
\Vhon \ appropriations are made by con
gress for public buildings and other enter
prises and are made available they are at
onrosotasido at the Tro-nury department
nnd the money Is subtracted from the avail
able nssots of the government. This ad
ministration has boon so hard run that It Is
said to have boon compelled to use many
specific appropriations for regular running
oxneiiies , nnd contracts for public buildings
have boon deliberately doluj ed ,

of a reefer suit can you sell for $2.50 ? " They are

our usual { rood , substantial quality is apparent in
every suit we sell. Wo have a magnificent line of

see. You can also get leather or cloth leggings to
