For this the body which represents tli
commerce and Industry of France e1
pressed Itself as deeply grateful , Oecln :
Ing that "peace Is our dearest wish ,
There were two discordant Incidents I
connection with the reception of M
Fame , but perhaps neither Is to bo n
gardotl very seriously. Th. . ; bomb e :
plosion may have been merely a plec
of deviltry , with no worse design than t
en-ate excitement , though no doubt thei
are many persons In Purls among th
anarchists and extreme nncalists : wh
would rejoice at the taking olTof the pro :

No nation of continental Europe wl

will take no stei In opposition to then
Turkey , it is safe to say , will ultimatel
submit to their wishes and whntov <
new political conditions are made In cot
tiuentnl Europe they will make.
This is one of the fruits of the conllli
between O recce and Turkey , but it
intended to reach beyond the sottlomci
of this. It serves notice on all tl
minor states of ICnrope , which may 1
ambitious to extend their power , tin
they must behave themselves that tin1
will not. be allowed to make troub
which might involve Iho greater initloi
In war. Another thing It means is tin
these power.s propose to control affairs I
continental Europe regardless of Cre ! :
r.rittiin. British influence In Enropea
politics probably was never weaker thu
now and it is very likely to decline I
the future. There is no doubt of tl
ptirpo.se of Hussia , Franco and German
to Isolate England so far as the nffali
of continental Europe are concerned an
there can bo little doubt of their nbllil
to effect this.
The consummation of this alliance f <

In his plea before Judge Jlunger f (
the postponement of the hearing of tl
city's case against tlio water works con
pany Oity Attorney Council urged .1
the reason for his demand the abseiu
of JohnIi. . Webster and asserted th :
the exposition company was very nnxloi
to have the case disposed of regardlef
of what loss might be incurred to tl
city , that the exposition might prof
thereby.
This is a very remarkable position ff
n city attorney to take. What has Job
L. Webster to do with prosecuting a cif :
brought by the city of OmnhnV Wh
should the a'ttorney for parties notor
onsly engaged In an effort to hold u
the water works company be allowed I
use the city as a catspnw to pull the
chestnuts out of the fire ? Where !
would the Interest of the city of Omah
bo promoted by delaying the hearing <
this case until the attorney of the me
who wrecked the water works coiupan
and forced It Into the hands of recelvoi
returns from his European jnnkol
Does not } Ir , Council's attitude mi )
port the charge that the suit brought I
the name of the city was In reality lust
gated and Instituted , not for the protei
tlon of the taxpayers , but to enable tli
holders of rejected claims to force a coi
cession from the reorganized water con
pany which the courts have refused t
give them ?
Even more Inexplicable Is the city n
torney's attempt to place the expositlo
management in n false light by ivjin
sontlng that It Is ready to sacrifice th
public Interest for the prollt of the oj
position company. City Attorney Coi
iifill cannot be Ignorant of the fact thn
the water supply constitutes the mot
dltllcult problem with which the expos
tlon has to deal. Without an adeipiat
and reliable supply of water the expos
tlon cannot possibly bo held. The coi
troversy between the city and the wate
company has already involved the e. >
position In nn outlay of over ? 2.,00 (
Unless the case pending In Judg
Muuger's court is adjudicated wlthl
thirty days the exposition must mak
provision.for pumping Its water from th
river at nn enormous outlay. It Is not
question of prollt for the exposition , bu
a question whether money intended fo
construction of buildings and hnprovi
incut of grounds shall bo swallowed u
In the building of a special system c
water works.
So far as the city Is concerned , It ha
everything to gain nnd nothing to los
by expediting tlio declsJou. This reutsi
claims duo the water wnrl < < ( company m
drawing 7 per cent Intercut , while tl
city Is getting only U per cent on tl

The republicans of Iowa having nil
fled the action of their state couvoiitloi
the campaign may bo regarded as bavin
opened. The ratification meetings at tli
home of lion. Leslie M. Shaw , the rand
data for governor , were very lar ; :
and very enthusiastic and the spoor
of Mr. Shaw , while It did not dli
cuss the Issues that will comman
attention during the campaign , was jnd
clous and well received , lie extollc
the history of the republican part ;
which he said should endear It to tli
heart of every loyal American cltlxei
He said he was satisfied with the ivsull
of the political philosophy taught In IS'.li
and expressed the opinion that whll
last year Iowa graded ( ! T and a fractloi
this year 11 will be 100. "Even a BO.OO
plurality. " said Mr. Shaw , "will forcvr
settle the free coinage of silver at 1
to 1. "
Very naturally the republicans of low
nro going Into the campaign with absi
lute confidence that they will win
decisive victory , that the only nuestio
will be as to the she of their plurallt ;
That they will win there is no doitb
but their efforts should be to make the :
victory overwhelming. Their pluralit
cannot be made too large. It may 1
true that 00,000 will forever settle tl
free coinage of silver at Id to 1 , but thei
can be no objection to making the pltira
Ity double that , and there Is reason f
believe this can be done.

Police Commissioner Ponbody rccnl1
very much Dr. .Tekyll nnd Mr. Ilyd
Like the good Mr. Hyde , Dr. Penbod
has always been regarded as n gentl
man of high moral character and 11
strictest Integrity and veracity. Con
mlssloncr Pcabody has proved hlmse
to be a man of no moral stamina an
lamentably nicking In veracity and ii
tegrity of purpose.
During the recent contest over the pi
lice chlefship Dr. Peabody was profiu
In assuring the friendsjof good goveri
ment that he desired only i
know the wishes of the lav
abiding and respectable elemen
of the community and would coi
sclenllonsly discharge his sworn duty i
promote the effectiveness of the poli (
department , and in the appointment an
promotion of police oflicers not to be a
tuated by political motives or conside
ations. In the face of his pretense <
strict non-partisanship and expressed i :
tentlon to live up to his oath of olllc
Dr. Peabody asked that the signnturt
of a number of prominent middle-of-th
road populists bo procured to an enders
ment of Martin White , and the good deter
tor even went so far as to write the p
tltlon to himself as police conimlssionc
saying that "of the various candidatt
that have been named , we think Mr. Ma
tin White fully competent to fill the po,1-
tion to the best interest of the city an
urge you ( o vote for him. " This was D
Peabody acting the roll of Mr. Ilyd
Contrast with this the action and tal
of Commissioner Peabody in the despi
able roll of Dr. Jekyll. Having vote
for several different candidates for chi <
oC police before carrying out the foreo
dallied program to unite on Gallaghi
on the. tenth ballot , Commissioner Pei
body appears at the diamond star pre
entation with the declaration that tl
commissioners had labored for thn
months to please the people and ha
selected what they considered the bo :
man among the applicants for the pos
lion. What arrant hypocrisy ! If Ga
higher is the best man , why did Coinml. .
sionor Peabody vote for Dahlman , flreei
Ifiizii and Hunter ? Why did ho wa
live mouths to discover Gallagher ? An
even on the night of the election , wh
did he wait till the tenth ballot bofoi
voting for the man he knew to bo tl
best applicant ?
Wnat people was Dr. .Tekyll-Peabod
trying to please ? Was it Charley I'm

Nobody had thought of Gallagher f <
chief of police until the gang of consplr ;

that Gallagher Is simply to be the flgun

The Interstate commerce commlsslo
lias in effect notified the railroads r

unreasonable and unjust rates wit
Impunity , That Is to say , i
they should make such rates an

all that the commission can do is to ih

that they bo reduced. It cannot , as :
Interpreles the decision of the snprem

Tims the commission is without authoi

It Is probable that Iho commission' '
Interpretation of the decision referred t
Is correct and assuming tills to bo th
case it Is obviously a matter wlile
should command the cnrty attention o
congress. A commission that has n
more power than to declare rates to b
unreasonable and unjust Is of very llttl
use. If , upon proper Investigation , 1
finds that a common currier is vlolatln
the law In tlio matter of charges an
Is powerless to apply a remedy , It Is nc
apparent that such a commission IH
any real value to the public. The trut
Is that the Interstate commerce launder \ \
under the constructions that have bee
given It by the courts , has not done an
is not doing what It was expected t
accomplish In regulating the commo

Causes which tlmulato the demand abroa
