It has been a campaign of duplicity

Du\i' Meicer , touciliiK o'er the wrecks

the last few days the people

TInsciill will ictlre fioni the council

Ne\cr befoieas the livalry so warm
In a picsldcntlal eleitlon to see which
state could pile up a leeoid-bieakinK

It Is gioatly to be feaied that some

Senator .lones has tiled haul to maUe
the public belie\e thai he l.s a gieat po
litical manager , and it is ically not his
fault that the attempt has pioved such
a dismal f.illmo.
The blusteilng Iti.anlte.sho have
been duped by the KaKo-Kaetoiy who
talk about contesting MeKlnloy's elec

themselves i Idlculous.
It looks as If Chaliman Dahlman will
have to icst content foi a while longer
with nothing better than the sahuy of
deputy oil Inspector In relutn for his

No longer will the Milld south be held
up as the Impicgnahlo forlu'ss of the
demociae.v. The paiapel has been
broken down , and the next gieat on
slaught will make an opening Into the
veiy center of the stinetuic.
The eleelotral college will not moot
for two months , \et , and when It ineel. <
U will hold but one Muni session. The
only diploma It will grant will be the
olllcial ceitlll-ate of the election of Wil
liam .McKlnlcy as ptcsldent of the
United States.
When the sll\elites come to express
their ical , deep down sentiments they
will doubtless say that they did not ex
pect to elect a piesldent of the United
Stafes , but thought the.v might a.s well
take their chance now as later and have
the agony over.
With united action the people of
Omaha and Nebiasl.a can do any tea-
dutiable thing In the way of public Im
provement and the fiutherlng of enter

The west Ims Htiffcicd inlhcr more
HeU'ioly than the east from the depres-
.slim of the last two or three yearn.
While the miuiMfncttirlni-Industries of
the latter section hint1 been far from
prospeioiis , agrlcitltuial production In
( he west has been even less pi ( tillable ,
while relatively there Iris been as much
Idle labor In the we.st as In the cast.
The lecenl advance In the prices of
grain has gieatly beneilted western pio-
dtieers. If ( hey have teallxed W ) per
cent of It. and lids would ptobably be
an undeiestlmat" they aie belter olT by
peihaps ? "riXMi.WMi ( ! than they hail ex
pected and theie Is fair piomlse of still
fin ( her gaiiH. This must Impiove con
ditions In the west very mateilally , but
a real levlval Is lmidl.to . be expected
In this section until there Is a general
ic umptlon of Industrial activity In
the eastein and middle states that will
put at woik the Idle labor and put Into
eltcnlallon the unemployed inone.x
amounting to hundreds of millions.
When this Is done theie will be a gie.Hly
enlaiged demand for wc tcrn product <
and an Impulse will be given to all
Westein Interests. Thus will be \ Indicated
cated the leptibllcan \ lew lhat the pie-
ieiiilslte | to prospeilly lei all sections
Is to open llic mills and to cieate n
demand for labor. The west Is deeply
Interested In a judicious policy of piolee-
tlonand lecipiocltj. The best maiketfor
the pioduccis of the countiy Is the
home maiket and the policy that will
build up that maiket Is the one they
should suppoit. We want an economic
policy that will steadily de\elop our
mateiliil resoniccs and give labor \\oiU
to do all the time at wages which will
enable the woikingman to siib > Ut
pioperly and as It Is desirable Ameilcan
labor shall subsist.
The fact that a conshletable piopor-
tion of westein voteis manifested their
sympathy with the cause of unsound
money and gave their apjiroval to declines -
( lines which the conseivathe judgment
of the count i.cond . ( > mned will not , we
thlnlc , necess.itlly militate against west
ein ln\estmeiits. The Idle capital of
the conntiy will go where oppotunities (
( } { piolU Invite and tliiMaie abundant
In the west They aie to be found In
Nelnaska. No city west of the MN-ds-
slppl and few any whole offer so fmor-
able thances for the piolitable Invest
ment of capital as Omaha. Theie Is
oppui Utility heie for a vailety of manu-
factnilng ei'teipilses which would un
doubtedly pay well.
The west will get mole capital and
will do moie business and while it
may have to wait upon the east for
such a levlval as Is to be desired , theio
can be no doubt that the ie\lval will
come.

The contiol of the hoiiso of u > pies ( > nta-
tl\es of the rifty-llflh congiess by the
lepublle.ius being assured , the piobable
pollllc.il complexion of the senate In
that congioss Is a uritter of much In
terest.
The senate consists of ninety inem-
beis , though the pre.sent niembei.slil ] )
is eighty-nine , owing to \acaney In
the rcptosculation of Dolawaio. These
aie distributed iiolltlcally as follows-
Uepubllcans , forty ; demociats , thlily-
nlne ; populists and sHvciHi. " . . tea. The
terms of twenty-nine of the eighty-nine
expire on the : td of Maich , 1SM7. Of
those whose successor } , will begin their
service with the new administration
foiiiteon aie democrats , eight ate re
publicans , two aie populists and ( he
aie designated as silver men four of
these being the boltets at St. Louis ,
( he senatois holding over when Major
MeKlnloy becomes piosldent will be
Republicans , ( hilly ; demociats , twenty-
live ; populists , two ; .silvciitos , ( hioo.
In order to scenic contiol of the senate
the icpiibllcaiis must get sixteen of the
twenty-nine membeis to bo chosen.
Two to succeed democrats have been
chosen KOIaker In Ohio and Welling
ton in Maryland. Senator Mori 111 of Ver
mont has been elected to suu'oed him
self. Republican senatois will hu elec
ted In Callfoinln , Connecticut , Iowa ,
New llampshlie. Ninth Dakota , I'onn-
sjlvanla , to succeed republicans fioni
those states. This gives nine of the ie-
qulicd sixteen. Klve demount.- , whoso
terms cxpiio will be succeeded by to-
publicans , vlIilackbnrn : of Ken
tucky , Palmer of Illinois , Vooihce.s of
Indiana , 11111 of New Yoik and Vllas of
Wisconsin. A icpiibllcan will bo elec
ted In South Dakota to succeed Kyle.
IMtlicr Unpont will be seated fioin Uela-
watu or a icpublican elected In his
place. Thus the icipiliod sixteen to
enable the icpnhllcaus to contiol the
senate In the Klfly-llfth congiess is as-
snied , while theio is a possibility of gel-
ting cue mete In the le-olectlon of .Sena
tor Piitehaid of Noith Caiollna.
It Is perfectly sate to siy : , theiofoio ,
that the icpubllcans will contiol both
branches of the Fifty-lift ! ! congress ,
which gives assinanoo of legislation for
Incie.islng the levcnue of the govein-
mont. l-'or tills pin pose the now admin-
Isti.itlon will also undoubtedly liuve
the suppoit of several of the silver state
sonatois who joined the doinooiat.i to
defeat such legislation In the piosont
cim-iiess. u is not at all piobable.
now that the cau e of lice silver has
been decisive ! } beaten , that all of these
senatois will lepeat their mistake of
fiustiatlng legislation necessmy to the
national tieasiny and Impoitant to ( he
Intoiosts of their own people. The
states of Idnho , Montana , Washington
and rtah , while largely Inteiested In
silver , have other Intelosts of gieater
\alne , which ( ho people will insist
shall be looked aftei by their icpie-
sentallvcs In congiess. Knowing that
theie Is no hopu of doing anything nioio
for silver , at least for the ne.xt four
} onis , the iepio-entnlives of the nllvoi
states could commit no greater lolly
than to stand In the way of legislation
that would Improve the condition of
Induxtiles tion | ) which the piospoilly of
their people largely depend. The silver
Intelest must take caie of it.self and
it should mil bt. allowed to longer inter-
feie with other Interests , not onlj
whole It o.xNH , but thtonglioiit the
conntiy , iih We | | as wm , tlusofu.0 | ] ,
the goveinmeiit. The imogunt cout.se
which that lutotobt has pui-ftiicd foi
} cais , to the gieat Injury of Hi1 cottii
try In CUM- } respect , should come lo nn
olid , now that II has boon decisively
condemned by the people 111 an open
and fair contest.

The re-el'-etlon of I'ongrossimin David
II. Meicor stands nut In shining contiast
with the defeat of the lepnbllcan elec
toial and state tickets In Nohtaska. Mr.
Moicer's le-eloetlon must be viewed as
a token of gratitude for the woik he has
done hi behalf of his constituents In the
last two eongres-'o.s. and especially a
locognltlon of Us tlioless onoigy and
unremitting activity for the piomotlon
of the TiaiisinlssKslppl Imposition entoi-
pi No.
Mr. Meicer has run ahead of bis
ticket by at least U.OOO In his district
and has a majority of over lr > 0 ( ) over the
candidate of the combined democrats ,
populists and silveiltes. Two years ago ,
while Mr. Meicer's pluiallly over the
demociatlc candidate was 1,781. his ina-
Joilty over the combined vote of ( ho
demociatlc and populist candidates wan
only Sill. Mr. Meicer has. therefore , not
only Incie.'ised his total vote but also his
nrijoilty , ant ! In this stands alone among
republican candidates In Nelnaska.
lloih Congressman Mercoi ami the people
ple of the Second dlstilet have leason
( o congradilate themselves on his re
election.
The comments of the Kuiopcnu press
and Matonicn on the losull of the elec
tion will not prove diverting to the dee
silver paity. 'I lie most ti list wet thy ex
ponents of public opinion In I uiope
speak of the defeat of ISr.van as having
aveited a gieat danger not only to the
fulled States , but to the clvili/.ed world.
A few papeis oxpioss logiot on the
giound that the lesiilt may Injiiie the
cause of bimetallism In Kuiopo. while
others appiehond that McKlnley's elec
tion nu > be dclilmontal to Kuiopean
tiaile with this countiy by ic.ison ol a
letnin to piotectlon , but the general
sentiment Is that a gioat peill was
avoitod by the defeat of the dee silver
cause.
Those opinions are interesting and lu
st tuetlve. They come for the most part
fioiu wilteis of distiiigulslied ability ,
wlio aio In a position to study and dis
cuss the situation In this conntiy fiom
a dlsintoiostod point ofievv , or at any
rate fiom a point of view unlnllueneed
by their eiivlionment. When an ox-prime
minister and an ox-llnaiice minister of
I'lanco dellbeialely declmo ( hat tin1
success of Mr. Hi.van would have had
the gravest political , social anil economic
consoipicnces. that It would have caused
gioat pertuiballon In the financial con-
tois of the woild , intelligent men will
give icspectful consldei.itlon to such
opinions.
We aio stronger In the conlldoncc and
i expect of the oivlli/od world for the
sound money victory.
IthVI WX
Oue of the most Impoitant duties
which will devolve upon the Omaha
delegation to the next leglslaluie Is the
levislon of the charier for cities of the
metiopolitan clas > . The chaitor wo now
ha\e Is a patch-quilt begotten by sevoial
successive leglslatuies. it was diafled
by a charter committee ten yenis ago
with a view to the demands of a rapidly
glowing tity of over toO.OyO population.
I'.ut ( he child of issii would never be
reiognl/od by Us own father. The legis
lature of iss" mutilated It beyond iceog-
nltlon thiongh the manipulation of the
oil loom lobby. Kvoiy succeeding legis
lature has put on a patch or chipped out
a piece without rog.nd to consequences.
ICvery attempt to protect the ta\payein
has been thwaitod , while schemes to In
crease their bunions have been favored.
The last leglsliituie made .such botch-
woik of ch.trtor lovlslon that Governor
Ilolcomb was obliged to kill the ameniK
incuts with his veto in older to protect
the city.
H Is to be hoped that we will not have
11 lepotltloii of this ex-porlence. It Is
agreed on all hands that our machinery
of city government Is too cumbeisome
and costly. It can and must be rdmpli-
lied in older that ta.xpa.vois may have
lellof fiom bin dens now needlessly im
posed upon them.
It Is of the utmost Impoilance also
that our sjstom of assessment Mini
revenue laws be model nixed so tlmt tax
ation shall fall iiiion all piopoit.v
equally. Our piosent levonue .system
has woiked lank Injustice to t.ixp.iyeis
and Incalculable Injiny to the city's
credit. A compaiNon of Omaha's as
sessed valuation with those of other
cities of Its class lellects dlsastionslj
on Its actual condition.
Clutter revision i * . therefore , nuni-
festly Imperative. It cannot well be
put off another year , fiiantlng that we
must have a icvNed charter , the pro
posed changes should be formulated ,
fully dlseiissod and agioed on befoic
the Icglslaluio convenes. It Is useless ,
however , ( o draft a cliaiter at Omaha
only to have H torn to slueds at Lin
coln by the Omaha delegation at the
behest of pilvate Intel osts. A clutter
committee composed of men who aie
familiar with the clt.v's needs and the
defects of the chartei , yet have no pit-
\ato ax-os to grind , should bo at once
appointed to take up this woik. The
Omaha delegation should bo loquostcd
lo attend Its sisslons and partlclpito
In Us deliberations , it .should be made
lo understand fully every now foatnie
and provision that Is to be engiaitod
on the revised chaitor and should make
It a matter of honor lo have- the charter -
tor passed as agieed upon without Jug
gllug and without delay.
The Hoe calls the attention of Its icad-
cis to the superiority of Its election
news sei vice. While Its oompotltois
have boon giopitig In the dm I : and do

of The Hoe have boon given everything
In the way of accuuite election news iu
promptly as obtainable and without
