Omaha day comes we shall at

the street railway company 1ms done re
markably well.
The Chicago peace jubilee Is on , bul
Omaha has no apprehensions of un
favorable comparison with Its demon

The High school problem Is a pressing

rately from the school revenue problem
which Is always the vital one.
Although the peace Jubilee is over the
people of this section will continue nom
the less to jubilate over the close of tlu
war and the restored prosperity.
Upsetting the lOngllsh turf with ti

John L. Webster still persists In thrusl
Ing himself Into the present campaign a
a candidate for United States senatoi
when he ought to know that republlcai
candidates for the legislature are hampered
pored In all directions by the unpopulai
Ity of the cheap wheat man and his ui :
savory record as a state treasury graftal
General Shatter In his modesty say
bo deserves no special credit for hi
achievements at Santiago because h
only did his duty as a soldier. On tlui
theory no one would ever ho entitle
to special credit for success In the lln
of duty , a-eneral Sim ftor cannot cvad
his share of the credit even If ho shoul
want to do so.
If the chairman of the Douglas count
republican committee can be Induced I
come In contact with the rank and til
of the party long enough to learn I
sentiment concerning the vulnerable cai

Is too late.
There'has been a grout deal of jui
complaint against the outrageous Imp
eltlon In charging 50 cents for 10-cei
eeat& at the exercises of President's tin
art the exposition. That abuse Is in
more ilagrant than the extortion of m
mission money for standing roomjn ti
fireworks enclosure. The executive coi
mltteo should put a stop to these abuse
at least from now till the closing-of !
gates. Just such things aggravate vl
Itors and uiaUo enemies out of peep
who wont to bo Omaha's frk-nds.
A
Tlio I'.xi'.isim1 of the duplicity nnd hy-
of the popocratlc sham reform
ers who nre Tlng to secure an exten
sion of their lease of power Iws called
forth a decidedly Itimo defense from
the lion. Charles Woosler. whom the
reform forces had scitiei'/.i'd Into the last
legislature by n majority of one vote.
Mr. Woodier has the candor to admit
that the fusion members .if ; lie legisla
ture made many blunders which must
con-ecled by the next Ii-ulslalurc and
tries to saddle all the responsibility for
these sins of omission and commission
upon Omaha and the exposition. In tills
he repeats the tactics of the wolf which
accused the lamb of riling the water.
How Omaha nnd the exposition bill
can IH > made to servo as the excuse for
the recount frauds , the unseating of
me.mlMM-s with unquestionable titles , the
machine ballot law and 'the failure to iv
deem pledges to rid the slute of the d < i-
nothing railroad commission Is beyond
comprehension.
In .trying to repel the charge that the
mongrel fusion combine has dnstroyed
all there was of Independence' in the
people's Independent party by the use
of tin1 caucus lash and putting a pre
mium upon Ignorant and purchasable
voters by the ronwtcir and eagle ballot
law the Merrlck county statesman
wants to persuade the people that < lu
popocratlc caucuses were only confcr-
onct'H nnd had no binding foivo on any
body In or out of the legislature. That
assurance , however , will not be accepted
by people who are familiar with the op
erations of the state house machine.
Calling a caucus a conference Is like
calling an undertaker a funeral director
or n barber a tonsorlal artist. The pop
ocratlc conferences differed only from
the old party caucuses in that they cov
ered a larger ground and made their
edicts more arbitrary and more effect
ive.Voostcr may occasionally have
bolted thi conference eaucim , but such
Independence was exercised only by a
few so-called kickers whom the machine
brought to time whenever they were
needed.
Mr. Woostcr's promise that the costly
and useless railroad commission will be
abolished by the sham reformers In the
next legislature- must IK- taken for what
It Is worth , llrokon pledges cannot bo
mended KO easily as all that. So long as
the three do-nothing secretaries can
draw $0,000 a year and perquisites they
will not consent to have themselves legIslated -
Islated out and HO long ns the- railroads
can protect themselves behind subservi
ent commissions they will m\vc no more
illlcully In persuading the popocratlc
( . -formers ,1o continue the force next
winter than they had at this last legls-
itivu session.

The Fifty-sixth congress , to bo elected
November , will have constructivu
fork to do of the very highest imi > or-
nice work of a nature wholly now Ui
he legislative department of our gov-
rnment. Much of this legislation will
'elate ' to the new territorial possession.-
Irectly , but enactments will also bi
' ( 'quired to provide for the colonial ad
.illustration . at homo and to bring na
lonal policies Into harmony with \w\\ \
ecessltios. Kverybody can understam
hat under these circumstances it wouli
o extremely embarrassing to Prosldcni
IcKlnley and his advisers to be com
oiled to confront a hostile congress nex
car. It Is hardly possible that tin
iresent congress , which will bo In ses
Ion less than three months , can dls
) ese of all or most of the question !
rising out of the war. It may deal will
\ few of the most urgent of them , bu
thers and perhaps the- more Importan
iVlll have to be deferred for consldera
Ion and action by the next congress. I
s probable the new congress will bi
: alled in extra session , though the pros !
[ lent might bo reluctant to do this If I
should contain a majority of polltica
pponents , President McKinley wil
doubtless act In this regard accordinj
: o What he believes the interests of tin
ountry and the necessities of the situ
iitlon demand , but in any event It i
ibvlously most desirable and imperial !
hat there shall bo a congress to den
ivlth these now questions In polltica
larmony with the administration. 'I'll
nltlatlve In the solution of the problem
hat are presented must be undertake ]
jy the administration. It thereforefol
ows that In the government there shouli
> e no divided councils ; that the cxccn
Ivo and legislative branches should at1
us one ; that the president and enngivs
iliould have a single policy. The senat
) f the next congress , there Is good reii
son to believe , will contain a republica
najorlty. The house should also b
republican , but there is some dangci
In consequence of the apathy or th
overcontldonce of republican votcn
that It will not be.
The election of a republican house c
representatives Is most essential , als <
to realllrm the sound money sentlmcti
of the country nnd thereby strengtho
the conditions that are making for pro :
perlty. The declarations of democrat !
conventions and democratic leaders pe
mlt no doubt that an overwhelming mi
Jorlty of that party Is still for frc
silver. If the democracy should suecee
In capturing the next house of ropreson
atlves , while It could accomplish not !
Ing decisive affecting the currency , tli
effect would bo to give fresh llfo an
vigor to the free sliver cause , rcno
distrust and uncertainty and thus put
check upon the advance to greater pro
perlty. It Is not easy to conceive of
greater misfortune to the country at th
tlmu than the election of a house <
representatives controlled by the fn
silver element.
In order to avert this It Is only nece
sary that those who supported the cam
of sound money lu 18SX5 shall ngal
rally to Its support In 18 ! > S. Kvery co :
slderatlon urges this. The sound mom
victory of two years ago has hex
abundantly vindicated by results. TI
promised prosperity has been to a lari
extent realized ; there Is more labor ei
ployed than two years ago and wag
In nearly all Industries are higher ; the
is moro money In the country than ev

currency was never so large as no' '
The prevailing conditions are most f

1I'/MT UJUJM 1HIS XOT WANT.
Several essays have recently boon pub-
Hilled by speculative promoters on the
subject of what Omaha wants. Some
of the si-homos suggested are feasible
iiiul romiiiendrtlilo. while other. * are
\islonary and utterly Impracticable. It
may therefore nut bo inappropriate for
The Hen to take the people Into Its con-
fldeneo and tell them what Oinnlm docs
not want.
First and foremost Omaha does not
want another nlr-bubble boom , which
converts cornllelds three miles beyond
the city limits Into additions platted into
town lots , to no unloaded upon poor
wageworkers upon the Installment plan
with the confidential assurance that
they will double In value every three
months.
Omaha wants more factories nnd mllN ,
but It does not want manufacturing con
cerns on stilts from which the props
will drop as soon as the bonuses have
been absorbed by the promoters.
Omaha wants many substantial public
Improvements , but It does not want to
experiment with any more wooden block
pavements , wooden viaducts , wooden
sidewalks or wooden men In public
olllcc.
Omaha needs moro public school
buildings , Inn It does not want to erect
any more brlck-vi neri'd llretraps either
for children In the grades or In the High
school. It certainly does not want and
docs not need three high schools at this
time any more than a cat needs 'three
tails.
The growth of Omulm can be ma
terially promoted by the extension of the
trunk Hue railroads , but It does not
want air line balloon railroads to
( Jeorgia or railroads that will pool with
all the existing roads on rates that
would bottle up the commerce worse
than over.
Last , but not least , Omaha docs not
want to embark in any enterprise that
will discredit the city or Is fore-doomed
to failure.
XAT1UXA1. QUAHAXTIXn.
The outbreak of yellow fev-er in the
south has again directed attention u :
the question of a national quarantine
system nnd undoubtedly the matter will
receive attention at the next session ot
congress. The New York lio.ird of
Trade and Transportation has proposed
that commercial organizations unite in
in attempt to place the treatment of epi
demics llko yellow fever under natloiia
control. The plan suggested by thU-
organization Is one of national coast am
Interstate disinfection , which would di
away with the necessity of qunranlin
Ing , with Its restrictions upon trade. I
will be remembered that during the jvl
low fever epidemic last year the syston
of quarantining adopted by some of tin
stales , worked great annoyance. Incon
venlence and loss to trade and travel
This has been repeated to a less exteiv
this year , with the effect of strengthen
Ing the demand for a national system.
Undoubtedly as long as yellow fevci
continues to propagate in Cuba on :
southern slates will bo exposed to tin
disease. Probably at some time In tin
future yellow fever will bo stamped on
of Cuba , but It will take years to ac
complish this. As a New York pape :

The soil of Cuba Is loaded with yellov
fever germs and under a tropical SH ;

Is not a city or village In the < 'iitir <
Island that possesses a modern and et
fective system of drainage and this ih
ilcloncy is aggravated by the primltlv
arrangement of many ot the dwelling
and by the Ignorance of the Cnlmi
masses of the laws of health ami sinl :
tatlon. The correction of all this wll
be a work oftime and the expendltur

Tills was proposed at the last sesslo
of congress and the most earnest suj
porters of a national system of quarai
tine were southern senators and repri
sentatlves who arc familiar with the ill
fects of state systems. There Is n goo
deal of opposition , however , partly o
the ground that It is peculiarly a matte
for the states to donl with and parti
for the reason that the states , who
yellow fever appears , are more likely t
act quickly than the general goven

The three $ ( l,000-n-yoar-do-nothin

No American congress in recent years ha
had as many new and difficult problems ti
deal with as will the next session of thi
Fifty-fifth congress. The civil war nm
lha pcricd of reconstruction following i
both brought up a great many novel quos
lions of vital importance , requiring orlglna
legislation of a more or less experimcnta
character. A generation has passrd sine
thrso mailers wer < " ( llspmt-ii of , and tli
difficulties whlsli beset congress during tha
period are alau-st forgotten , but they wcr
numerous and trying. Since then ccngres
ban had to deal only with the ordinary af
fairs nf domestic legislation , which , Im
pprtant RD they may have been , have no
been without the light afforJcd by preced
ents and experience to aid In their setllo
mr-nl.
Quito different arc some ot the question
that will Some before the next congrebs-
qiic-sllpns Involving great Interests , nc\
principles , untried policies , and entire !
without the light of proccdenls or experl
cnco lo aid In their right settlement. Nc
lo mention others which may grow out c
the present Iransltlon period In public af
fairs , there will bo a form of governmen
and code of laws for Hawaii , including Ian
laws , shipping laws , tariff regulations , 1m
mlgrallon laws , clc. The annexation c
Hawaii requires Immediate consideration c
the project for a submarine cable betwee
San Francisco and Honolulu. This quea
lion has already had eomo consideration b
congress , but now' lla early settlement Is
matter of national importance. Much th
same U truu-'ot1 the Nlcaraguan cana
which , since thi > , Rcqul-slllon of Porto Hlc
and Hawaii , ha 7bpconie a distinctly Amet
lean question. Jhpjestablishment of a ne-
form of government for Porto Hlco , the In
Illation ot measures to Americanize th
Island , the revtoftjbf | the civil law , the 03
tabllxhment of schools , etc. , will open a ne
field for practical statesmanship. Th
pacification of CJiba and laying the founds
tlona of Independent government then
while maintaining our military occupatlo
of the Island pending the establishment <
the new regime , will require wise and cart
ful management. The- acquisition ot tl
Philippine Islands , If we do acquire then
will raise a host of now questions , ! while
wo only aequlrt-ta coaling station that wl
have to bo provided for. The acquisition i
one of the Lad roue islands will Involve ne
legislation , and there will be many claln
and counter claims growing out ofthe w ;
to bo disposed ot.
From this partial review It la evldei
the next congress will have a great deal i
Important work to do ot A kind that wl
require It to rise above party. The peep
have a good opinion of the present congrea
based on Its excellent work during tl
special and llrat regular session , and thi
oxpcct it to treat the now and imperial
questions soon to come before It In a spli
of broad nationalism.- Failure to do thi
or any effort to. embarrass consideration
the questions by methods of peanut politic
will arouse the Indignation of the peep
and invite the political punishment ot the

io can prove by his early statements that
10 Is A stalwart republican and lit can
irovo by the flies of the Omaha World-
tcrnld thnt ho Is a gold standard demo-
rat.
Fremont Tribune' ( rep. ) : There Is no
doubt but that the returning of n drmo-
rat tnnjorlty to the lower house of congress
it the ( . 'lections this fall will bo regarded
abroad as ft reversal ot public Judgment
onrcrn'iiR ' the war. K\ery man who be-
lovcs the war was not a failure nnd who
ins conildcnce In the wisdom of President
IcKlnley to do the- right thing with refer
ence to our foreign acquisitions should
oto for Judge Norrls for congress.
Kearney Hub ( rep. ) : The worried look
n the countenance of Congressman Urecno
s becoming more prominent as the days
lit swiftly by and ho witnesses the scat-
erlng ranks of populism. Try ns lie may ,
plead as ho may , exhort as ho may , ho Is
nablc to atop the stampede. The democrats
an't be driven up to his watering trough ,
ho populists can't be kept there and the
nugnlflcont campaign of his opponent Is
ally driving him to despair. It Is a trllle
ough , bul the congressman will have to
ako hla medicine.
Wr-at Point Republican : The rongres-
lonal campaign Is now on. Judge Norrls
8 making a tour of the congressional dls-
rlct and will gain strength dally until
lection day. In the old Judicial district ,
vhero Mr. Norrls served the people for
many years as Judge , he Is endeared to the
icarts of all. Ho slands closer to the farm-
ng clcnient than any congressional candl-
late In years. Hero In Cumlng county he
vlll poll an exceedingly large vote far
nero than his party strength because of
ils popularity with the farmers.
Mlndcn Ga/etto ( rep. ) : During the two
years ! n which Mr. Sutherland has repre
sented tills district In congress bo has re-
ponded to sixty-live roll calls out of 110
ust a trlllo more than half. Of these , flfty-
our were cast In opposition to the admln-
stratlon. Ten were cast with a divided
louse where party questions were not In
troduced. On the revenue bill ho hadn't
nerve enough to vote for or against the
ncasure , but simply answered "present. "
) o the people of the Fifth district want
a representative In congress who Is afraid
to vote his honest sentiments on HO Impor-
: ant n. matter as a revenue bill ? Who
ever heard of such a thing ? What Is ho
supposed to be in congress for , anyway ?
Fremont Tribune ( rep. ) : The fuslonlsts
ay great Rtrcss on the alleged fact that
they represent the producers of Nebraska.
After rcllectlng on this claim consider their
candidates for congress. In the First dls-
irlcl they have nominated young Lawyer
Manahan ; In the Second they have named
Editor Hitchcock , who was cducaled for
a lawyer ; in the Third they throw over
Judge Maxwell and took up Judge Kobln-
son , who Is holding to his Judicial ermine
until he sees whether he or Norrls Is to
o to Washington ; In the Fourth district
they have ronomlnated Judge Stark ; In the
Fifth district they have given Lawyer Suth
erland a rcnominatlon ; in the Sixth they
still Btick to Judge Greene. A lawyer for
congress in every district In the stale !
And they toll not , neither do they spin.
Time was , not so very long ago , when
lawyers were tabooed. They were barred
out of the alliance movement , which was
the embryo of fusion , but the fuslonlsts
iiavo been captured , bag and baggage , by the
peltlfoggcrs. Lordy , lordy , what a situa
tion for the contemplation of the tolling
irasses , the great common people , the pro
ducers ! The republicans have never made
such buncombe claims and yet one of their
six candidates for congress Is not n law
yer.
McCook Tribune ( rep. ) : It Is not claimed
for Captain Adams , the republican noirlnee
for congress In the Fifth Nebraska district ,
that ho is a meteoric political prince , but
that he Is an able , honest , energetic , patri
otic citizen who knows the needs and wants
of this district and has the ability requi
site to present and urge- them upon the
action of congress. The captain Is heartily
In sympathy with the administration of
President McKinley. His antecedents are
such as to warrant us In claiming for him
that. If elected congressman of this district ,
ho will give a good account of himself and
honorably , conscientiously and ably repre
sent this people. Disdaining the role ot
the demagogue , ho is making a campaign
such as might bo expected from so high-
minded a citizen. Ilia course throughout
llfo has been one of fairness and success.

Kim Creek Deacon ( pop. ) : U appears to

s a candidate for the second term one who
mbllcly owns to demagoguery and liifldi'llty

andldate for we know what he will do. This
Imply emphasizes the necessity of attend-

Seward Reporter ( rep. ) : The populist plat-

accepted by ofllclals and every state olllcer
n the crowd has his pockets full of an
nuals over all the roads In the state. The
platform fulminated against boodle and
every employe In the service of the state
las to stand a forced assessment or throw
ip his Job. The platform parades the sym-
> athy of the party with the laboring man
and the men who made Iho platform do not
icsltato lo mulct the laborer over whom
they hold a club out of a large per cent
of his earnings to pay the expenses of keep-
ng the bosses In possession of their soft

themselves reformers and to ask honest men
o vote to enable them to continue the same

Wahoo Wasp ( rep. ) : The last act of des
peration oil the part of the great "savers"
under the capital dome Is to send out a
circular letter showing conclusively by old
Granny Tibbies' plan of reasoning that the
banks of Nebraska are all ready to "bust"
and wo are right on the verge of a terrible
panic. The last statement of the State
Hanking board , of which Dr. Hall of this
county Is secretary , shows that Uie banks ,
joth slate and national , are In a better
condition than ever before In our whole
tilstory. This man Tibbies , who , by the
way , is the biggest liar in the state , would
lust delight In seeing everything wrecked
l > y something , nn matter what , but the
bankers and business men of the stale arc
inclined loward believing Dr. Hall's re
port Just as the cold clammy figures stand.

a castout from the republican party , seema
by these gentlemen to bo a fit subject to

Lynch Journal ( rep. ) : Under Governor
Crounso the cost of maintaining state
institutions in 1894 over that of 1802
was reduced $11,000 In round numbers , al
though the number of Inmates had Increased
221. Under Holcomb Iho cost In 1897 from
the previous year was reduced $22,000 , but
there was a reduction In the number of In
mates of 100. but Governor Holcomb held out
$15,750 from the Homo for the Friendless.
Had ho used that appropriation to Uio pur-
noses for which it was made and provided
for Ihls institution instead ot starving It
out. then his reduction In the codt of main
taining the state Institutions for that year
over the preceding year would be only
$7.712 as against Crouuse's reduction of
$11.331.93. Ciounso reduces Ihe total cost
$11,000 In round numbers with an Increase
of 221 Inmates , while Holcomb with a de
crease of 100 Inmates reduces Iho cost In
one year only $7,712. This Is taking no ac
count of the cheap olcogreaBO which the re
form governor bought at Kansas City.
York Times ( rep. ) : If anybody has of
fered any argument In favor of the populist
party this fall , wo have not seen It. Whole
sale chin gen of dishonesty against ) repub
licans win not be considered as legitimate
argument by the voters of the stale. They
nro lee vague and Indefinite. .Besides the
people generally know there have been rnora
defaulters In the populist party in Nebraska
during the last few years than the repub
lican party has produced since Iho organiza
tion of the stale. The populists can no
longer pass as reformers. They have done
too many dishonest things and have too
many dishonest men In olllco and among
their leaders. The dirtiest republican that
ever disgraced his party did not compare
In dishonesty with many populist officers.
Not one but many. Let them stop their
canting hypocrisy and learn common hon
esty themselves before they prate about the
dlRhoneotv of others. The Bible says : "Woe
unto you scribes and pharlsees , hypocrites ,
who devour widow's houses , " clc. Do you
suppose that men who conspire to devout
widow's houses and rob orphan boys ol
Ihelr patrimony are more honest than the
average republican , or than any repub
lican ? Yet Buch men go about making po
lltica ) speeches and denouncing mon as dis
honest agalnat whom no charge of dishon
esty has ever been made before and who
have all -thetlr lives been honorable and up
right men.

Jolclng In these Jubilee * , as far as can bo
gathered from the utteiances of speakers
at Omaha and the ohm-actor of the prepara

happiness that war , with all Ils misery

"Most People Judge

A . .e surest sign of succss is
to be well dressed. And it
doesnt take a fortune to be pro
perly clothed if you come to us.
Genteel apparel is as necces-
sary to one's advancement as
any other consideration , and
when finely-made and well-
fitting garments may be had at
the price commonly asked for
shabby and bungling goods ,
there is no good reason why any
man should not always appear
at his best.
We make suits to measure
for those who thtnk they prefer
them cut to order , but he is a
hard man to fit that we cannot
suit from our large lines of pat
terns and full assortment of
sizes and shapes.
