Five duyb from America to Eu rope is the promising-probability of the coining few years. HONESTY anil efficiency arc essential for the protection of the taxpayers in the management of city and county .finances. The republican candidates for treasurer .havo these qualifications. EVERY wagoworkor should vote his honest convictions no matter what hia bosses Bay or demand. A man Is unfit to bo an American citizen who will allow himself to bo used as a political Pinkor- ton. THE county jail under Sheriff Ben nett has been a cesspool of debauchery and iniquity. The half has not boon told because it is unfit for publication. Mr. Bennett cannot truthfully gainsay this. JUDGE T3r < LKU lays great stress on the fact that Baxter is as much of a repub lican as ho is. That may hurt Baxter with , democrats who think moro of Ullor , but wo do not see how it can prejudice him with republicans. IN MAKING your choice of councilman next Tuesday do not forgot that George Munrohtis rendered faithfuland efficient service in the council. Wlion a man is tried and proves true ho deserves an endorsement from his constituents. .FIFTEEN hundred thousand dollars is several times ton much for an electric lighting plant and far too little for an adequate waterworks system. It is bad policy to vota money until it is known for what purpose it is to bo expended. Vote down the bond proposition. THE time-honored custom of observing the last Thursday in November as a day of general thanksgiving will be fol lowed this-year as in preceding years. This is ono feature of our national pro gram which even President Cleveland hesitates to alter. GOOD citizens want u man of progress ive ideas , liberal views , inlloxiblo deter mination , business soiibo , accurate knowl edge of municipal affairs and unim- pcuehublo integrity for mayor. George P. Bemis exactly fills the bill. Ho has boon tried and not found wanting in any . .ofthose qualifications. " * WOMEN who pay taxes , real or por- aonal , and women who have children in the schools muy vote for members of the Board of Education Tuesday , providing they are willing to admit that tboy are 21 .roars old.

IN KKFURINO to net upon the nomina tion of Mr. llornblowor to the bench of tlio United States supreme court the Bermto certainly displayed an act of cowardice. THO nomination was pending ing Jong enough to have been either courageoiibly confirmed or rejected. Defeating a nomination by moans of ad journment tunuuks altogether too much of the despicable premeditated pocket veto. TiiKcaudldaoy of George W. Ambrose for tlio position of district judge is to bo deplored for many reasons. Mr. Ambrose is a good Jawyor and might have made a capital judge had ho benn in every other respectguitablo for a place 011 tho'bonoh. But Mr. Ambrose has boon his own worst one my , and tdiould uovor have allowed hinibolf to bboomo a candidate for a posi tion which should only bo filled by men who oujoy tlio highest respect of the community , Wo regret very much to be compelled to call attention to the unfltuess pf Mr. Ambrose for the posi tion ho seeks. Wo are impelled to this BteJ ) only from a high sense of duty , which wo must discharge regardless of frlond or foo. Wo certainly harbor no ill fooling to Mr. Ambrose , but bolicvlug that tlio reputation of the bench of this dUtrlot would bo compromised by his election wo must warn the votersagaiust giving him tholr support. nKSCVK THK St'l'nN Mi : COUHT. In ttme'jof war the sentinel ihat pees to sloop while standing guard subjects himself to llio I'onalty of death the Fame na if ho were a doserlor. The man who alandr buntincl as the tribune of the people mid allows the enemy to rob them of their liberties without sounding the alarm is precisely in the position of the stooping scnllnol or the deserter on the eve of battle. The Miproino cjurt Is the bulwark of a free people. It is the arbiter between debtor and creditor , between employer niid employe , between railroads nnd their patrons , between insurance com panies nnd tholr poiicy holders , between taxpayers and tax-shirkers , between the pcoplo und tholr public servants. A supreme court composed of conscien tious , fourlosa nnd upright judges stands Hko a pillar of flro between might and right , between usurpation nnd constitutional power , botweon.urbl- trary exaction and reasonable re muneration , between the sovereign state nnd its corporate creatures. Can wo have Mich a supreme court so long as their credentials omtuiuYo from Czar Iloldrcgo and the mercenaries who turned down Judge Maxwell ? Men of .Nebraska , the hour lias como lo rescue the supreme court , no matter at what Biiorifieo and to what extent you must do violence to your political creed. Lot party perish for a time that the republic and republican institutions may survive. The bngVicnr of frightening capital from Nebraska if the railroad candidate for supreme judge is defeated should have no terrors for any patriotic citizen who loves his country and its free insti tutions. But how can the &tuto's credit toe crippled any worse than it lias boon ? Could anything bo more damaging than the fact thut Iho state treasury bus been looted by the connivance of our -stuto officers and is now $700,000 , short ? Could anything bo moro damaging than the scandalous conduct of the impeached etato oilicials and the subjection of our supreme court to the dictates of the con federated corporations ? Cbuld anything worse happen to Nebraska than the sur render of the right of bolf-govcrnment to arrogant railroad autocrats , who maintain their power by an army of mercenaries , fed at the expense of the producers ? If there over was a time when every man who loves freedom and hates despotism , under whatever name it may dominate , should strike a blow for liberty , it is next Tuesday when he easts his vote for supreme judge. B.1/.liVCUMTE THE n'AOK WORKERS. If you are a railroad engineer , con ductor , brakemun , fireman , switchman , shop mechanic or office clerk , no a'free American citizen whoso vote Ls his own , to bo cast according to tlio dictates of his own conscience. Do not surrender your right to cast a free ballot. Do not by your vote surrender the supreme court into the keeping of cor- porution ? and thereby deprive yourself and your family of all chance of redress for injuries to your person or damage by lire to your little home. Do not perpetuate the Moshors and the Dorgans as contractors of convict labor in the penitentiary by casting your vote for tie ! man who owes his nomina tion to the cell house gang and the im peached officials. Emancipate yourselves from the polit ical ehackles which luivo heen ingen iously wound around your bodies by the Railway Employes association , organized under false pretenses to guard your in terests , when in reality its sole object is to make a political sort out of every man who is abject enough to vote by order. And what wo say to railway employes wo say to every wage worker employed by corporations. Bo men and not slaves. When you do your work faithfully you have earned your wnges. Your rights as a citizen are not bartered away for broad. You owe it , sacred duty , to your- bolves and your children. That duty you should perform fearlessly when you cast your hallot next Tuesday. The object of the Australian system of voting was to emancipate the borvnnt from the master ; to strike the shackles from the partisan and give him un opportunity to robulco rascality in his own parly without being subject to the discipline of the party lash. Strike for liberty and emancipate yourbclros or you are not worthy to en joy the franchise as a free American citizen. HOUSES , The first atop on the program of the Memorial association of the District of Columbia has been taken in opening to the public the house in which Xiinooln died and which it is proposed to trans form into a museum for Lincoln relics. Americans , it is claimed , are too de void of the historical perspective nnd too much bent upon improving the present * to give any attention to preserving - serving the most important mementoes of the i st. To cultivate this regard for the historic spots with which the progress of the United States has been intimately connected through its grout men is the prime object of the orgunlza tlon formed at Washington under the presidency of Chief Justice Fuller. The oojeois of this Memorial associa tion are > oontiiicd to the capital of the na tion , because it is there that the associ ations * of our greatest statesmen have boon largely .centered. The purpa-ta * are threefold in nature : Firbt , to pre- borvo mteworthy housasj bccjnd , to in scribe with suitable lablots place * of historic interest to residents and vis itors ; third , to cultlvato a historic spirit uud raveronco for the memories of the founders and leaders of the republic It must bo conceded that those are laud- nblo aims and ones which have thus far boon too much neglected by the Ameri can people. The preservation of historic homos becomes a matter of national ooncorn. Patriotic motives are strong enough to onltst a few individuals in the move ment , but to properly conduct it requires thonnistanco of congress. Tim asso ciation of , vhich wonvp spoken has be gun its work by lousing for ono year the house in which Lincoln died , relying upon the government to como to its aid before the expiration of tholr agree ment. That a building of such historic importance should bBlong to the people and bo preserved In its original condi tion must bo recognized by nil as a praiseworthy proposition. The nation owes that much honri e to the memory of the martyr president. HAthtt'AY KKblK The exhaustive review of the' work of the Burlington Voluntary Hclijf association which wo print on the first page affords btrlking proof of the jug-huntilu system which prevails on many of the American railroads under colrir of mutual aid nnd insurance among employes. Hallway employes relief nssjclatlonS arc by no moans of American origin. The first step in that direction waj taken by the English government when the employes' liability net was passed by Parliament. Under this act British railways were required to institute departments for in surance against accidents , death nnd old ago. Membership was made compul sory , but the companies wore required to contribute to each fund an amount each year equal to the amount contrib uted by the employes. These funds are managed by officers chosen in equal num bers by the railway employes and the company , and the scale of payments is figured out on the bails of accidents in the past years. The English railway re lief fund now has an acoumulatod sur plus of over $12,000,000. This sys tem includes not only insurance against disability or death , but pensions upon rotiromcut by reason of old age. If a man leaves the company's service in good faith ho receives back his contribu tion ; if ho is discharged for fraud or dis honesty ho forfeits the whole. The Burlington voluntary relief sys tem , and for that matter the hospital and relief systems on other roads , are an imposition upon wage workers. While pretending to bo voluntary they are forced contributions in the case of tlio Burlington. The agents of the com pany solicit the membership applica tions and are persistent in bringing all into the fold. Every pressure and influ ence is brought to bear to induce the employe to apparently sign away hia rights as against his employers , and the names of the entire number of the train men are practically duplicated on the books of the relief department. No man can refubo to accede to the urgent re quests to enroll himself as u , .member and remain confident Uaat his continued employment depends solely "ti on the efficient performance of his duties. The Burlington company , out of pure tenderness of .heart , agrees to make up any deficiency that may arise ih the treasury and to defray the expenses of managing the enterprise. But it re tains in its own control the entire man agement of the organization. Its officers , selected and nominally paid by the rail road company , look to it for orders and in case of controversy feel that their in terests lie with the railroad and against the employes , wlio in reality furnish the funds from which their salaries are taken. The railroad has the use of the association's funds at a nominal rate of interest , while the dues of the contrib utors are regularly deducted from their wages before the latter roaches their hands. The voluntary reliol department not only has no corporate capacity or stand ing in the courts , but is also attempting to conduct an Insurance business con trary to the laws of this elate. It relies upon the compulsory character of its membership to force upon its contrib utors rates that would .bo termed rob bery wore theyoxactodbynny reputable insurance coiicer-n. Btato authorities agree that it'is an insurance company , yet it has never taken the first btop to conform to the insurance laws. In bpitt of its professions * of benevo lence the Burlington railroad , of- course , could not bo expected to participate in the organization without deriving some returns from its expenditure. That the relief department is the host possible paying investment for the company Is amply demonstrated by the ligurus of its own officers. The consideration forced upon the employes is the apparent sign ing away of all rights to recover from the railroad in case of accident or death. Tuescape such liability by moans of the paltry sum which it pays into the trea-i- ury of the relief department is an achievement well worthy of the ingenu ity of the astute corporation lawyer. Tlio whole department is simply a cun ning device to evade the employers' liability laws of the state. Its regula tions nro relied upon by the railroad in defense of every damage suit that an employe or his heirs may bring. TJ luwo ttio fraudulent contract uphold in the courts and thus to escape the pay ment of damages for injuries or deaths duo to the negligence of its officers is worth thousands upon thousands of dollars lars to the railroad corporation. A supreme premo court willing and ready to do its behest is the present desire of the coin- puny , and to secure this it appeals to the members of the .relief department to march to the polls iiud votn for the railroad candidate for the miprcmo bench. Do not the interests of railroad employes demand a supreme c urt un biased and free from every ojrpnrato inllucnco ?

TJIB CUMIXO aOOIAli SKASOX. Despite many1 discouraging omens , the Beacon of social functions just commenc ing gives much promise of fulfilling the hopes that nro always cherished by those who love thoiiayoticsof the social world. Authorities have ventured the predic tion that the coming season in the largo cities is to bo the dullest that lias been known for many years , nnd they have no doubt based tholr statements on the fact that social prosperity and industrial prosperity must go hand in hand. The recent business depression has not been such as to put these nfiootod by it in tho-- , mood of giving- expensive entertain ments. Uoilucod incomes have in many oases counseled a reduction of family expenditures , and when any outlay is lo bo cut off , that which is devoted solely to pleasure is nuscssarlly the first to suffer. This reasoning is plausible ououghbut does not apply equally to all of our larger cities. In Omaha in particular the outlook is nut so bad as many would have us believe. There have been no small number of wcildlnga of late , with a few already announced for the near future. This does not betoken hard times very seriously , for young people as a rule are not ready to join their fortunes without n reasonable prospect of main taining their social positions. A further indication of social activity is seen in the unusual number of debutantes who expect to make tholr first appearance in public this winter. A largo bevy of charming young ladles cannot bo intro duced into the old society circle without bringing with them the regular ofi'octs of an infusion of , new blood. They will manage to' keep things lively all by themselves , with but little assistance from the experienced and time-honored fixtures in society. The entertaining in Om'uhahas seldom been of the extravagant sort so common in otitcr cities. It has on the whole been of a modest and comparatively inexpen sive nature , and because of this very character will bo morooasily maintained evoniu the face of the depressing hard times. It must bo rernombrtrod , too , that the most elalmeate functions do not al ways producQitlio greatest amount of en joyment. TmJ great bulk of our social gayotiasis camprhodi in entertainments on a very nrjtfcl-ate scale and these will scarcely bo ujfectod by any extraneous influences. * Reports from.Washington , whore the first season under the reinstalled mis tress of the white house has raised great expectations in the social worldsay tha the whirl will begin early nndmaintain a rapid pace. This is owing to the fact that it must cltSu so soon , Lent begin ning this yearj.tvj early as February 7. The same circumstances will * condition tho"Buas3niri'otliorplaco3. ' ' It will bo a' season of short duration , of considerable activity , but at the same time without umnv oxtraordinarv instances of enter taining upon a lavish or magnificent scale. KElVTlfM AT An "Investgallon ! of' the different de partments of Wio government by a joint committee of the senate and house of representatives for the purpose of ascer taining how the public service might bo reformed and the capacity of its personal force improved and elevated has dis closed some interesting facts. Among them perhaps none is more interesting than the discovery of the extent' to which nepotism prevails in the public service. It 'is known to comparatively few that in the departments at Wash ington the relatives of senators and other -prominent personages constitute a considerable proportion of the employes , but oven these who are aware of this may bo surprised at the largo number of such , while to the great mass of the people tlio evidence of nepotism in the public service will bo astounding. As fully as the committee has been. able to ascertain , there are in the sev eral departments at Washington 5,010 employes having relatives who , at the same time , draw salaries from the gov ernment. According to a published statement five officials have each eight relatives who are sustained with them selves at the public crib ; four have each seven relatives in government employ ment ; ton have six each ; twenty-six have five each ; ninety-six have four each ; 229 have iuroooaoh ; 1037 ' have two each , and Ijl ! have each one relative who is also in the service of the United Stales. The total number of employes is 17,5 ! ) ! ) , and nearly one-third of those have relatives tivos who are able to boast of drawing salaries from the public treasury. Tt 1s stated by the comtnlttop that in thlrty-sovon cases husband and wife draw official salaries. There is ono case in which hull/and / , wife , brother and son , as well as Imothor , relative , are on the pay rollslfiiui ( in still another case husband , wifef bister ami live other relatives arc in public omplomont. Not less than $ * 7t. . male employes have brothers in tlui publla service , and 027 women empires have also secured good places for ilioirsistoiM through the influence they-have with the disponsarti of patronage. 1tf ) o woman olork has a husband , two brothers nnd a sister hold ing loss lucrative places in the govern ment. Flftooii'o'niclals have both sons and duughturacin the public Horvice , the united salarlojljb'f the family making a very gonerous.fnonmo. . To Homo extent civil service reform IB responsible for tlio nepotism that exists in the departments at Washington , but only to u very limited decree , tlio fact being that the system ante dates that reform and has boon in pruutlco for many years. Indool Uioro has never boon a time , at least within the last fifty year s , when there was tnt mo.'o or leas nepotism in the government nci-vice , and not only in the legislative and executive departments , but in the judicial department alb a. An iuroiUation f the federal ourt ? of the country would slio v that the prevalence of this practice is widespread , Nepo tism in oublic offices cannot bo approved umlor any circumstances , nnd such a rank growth of the system as is shown by the investigations of the joint commit tee of congress calls for vigorous efforts to put nn end to ttio practice. Refer ring to ttiis matter , a contemporary says there is doubtless much ground for the complaint that under the spoils policy appointments are made upon no other claim or merit than party service , but under the system of nepotism revealed inUhls committee's report many official appointments have been duo to claims and merits of a moro douotful character than the most unscrupulous service of lmrty' _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ MAKIXO r.l/MI LIVK ATTHACTtrH. At tills season of the year , when farm life becomes less attractive than al any other period , some suggestions ns to how its attractions may bo increased will bo'tlmoly. lu ono of the addresses' delivered bofono the congress of agri culture at the World's fair It was sug gested that If farmers would realize that men and women wore created social beings , each with n desire for social improvement and for gain , farm life , particularly In the winter months , could bo made moro attractive. The address said further that if the farmer would assist his children in arranging some pleasant recreation , some social entertainment where the boys and girls are brought together on mutual grounds , whore they could become ac quainted with ono another and learn to entertain each other In some mutual work , establish libraries for study , sing ing schools , debating societies , dancing bohools , to give the young people case and confidence , there would be less de sire among young men and women to leave the farm and socle the crowded city. Everybody who knows anything about the general character of farm life will agree that this is good advice. As a contemporary observes in referring to this counsel , it is its isolation , its luck of social features and entertainments that makes farm life appear so undesirable to young people. Several forms of inno cent amusement that prevailed in nearly every agricultural community a quarter of a century ago are rarely known now , and partly in consequence of the aban donment of these methods of entertain ment , which enabled the young people to pleasantly pass away the long winter evenings , there has been a btcadily grow ing tendency among the sons nnd daugh ters of farmers to got away from the monotony und humdrum of farm hto nnd betake themselves to the cities in quest of social enjoyment and recreation. The last census showed , in the relative growth of the cities and towns , how strong this tendency had been during the decade , and there is every reason to believe there has boon no ahatomont'of it since. In 1890 one-third of the popu lation of the country was found in cities of 8,000 and over , and it is safe to prc- dict that the census of 1000 will show a still larger proportion of the population in the cities. There are bright and aspiring minds on the farms of the country young1 men and to whom the ' ' young women 'pent-up Utica" of farm life is almost intolerable. They know there is a world outside of their narrow sphere where they believe they could find happiness , contentment and advancement. Some go , and unfor tunately not all such attain what they hoped to. Others remain at homo from a sense of duty or because they have not the courage to face the uncertain ties and dangers of life in tho-city , but they are restless and discontented * There may bo no sovereign remedy for this condition of affairs , but it is possible to'mako farm life more attractive than it generally is , and the farmer who has time for reflection on such matters can address himself to few things so im portant as that of providing mothods-for making his boys and girls content with farm life and keeping them at home. "IT MUST not bo disguised that the rci- peal is too late to have any effect on fall trade. " "It is well to rejnembor that the act will do less good than if it had ibooii passed early in the spring or without - , out delay after congress assembled. ' These ai-o the remarks of the well known mercantile agencies upon the passage of the repeal bill , and they are "based upon a sound interpretation of the facts. The recovery from the period of financial dis tress may bo hastened by the stoppage of silver purchases , but it will ba neces sarily slow and gradual. The crisis has already spent itself. Repeal can now only assist in moro quickly restoring business prosperity. TilEHE is a prevailing impression In this city that the nine coiincilmen which wo uro'to vote for next Tuesday mwt bo selected by wards. This is not truo. The nine members of the council to bo chosen next Tuesday are. elected at largo. You may vote for half a dozen candidates from the same warfl if you consider them to bo the best men. There nro twenty-eight candidates run ning for the council and the nine men who got the highest vote will bo elected , no matter whore they reside so they live in the city. .
