To the Editor of The Omaha Bee : I have noticed se\enj mtides latelyas to the kind of a ticket tbe republican party should put in the field at the coming city convention , aad no two agree , but all * ay "we should nominate a clean ticket. " 1 might say 1 have never held offlce nor am I a candidate , but I want to see tbe re publican party "both " in Omaha and Douglas county uphold the national administration and not be a disgrace to it. as we were at tbe last election , We bate too many factions In this county Last fall the republican county convention nominated an exceptionally strong tickta. which with Judge Reese nominated by tbe stale convention fwbo. by tbe way , could not hate been bettered ! was I belie\e the rtrongest and bctt ticket put In the field by any contention or party during my twelve years retidenco here. Not a man on the ticket v ho was not thoroughly competent to all the position be Bought , and no ex cuse In tbe world for any voter who called himself a republican Jo "knife that ticket , " yet because the Webster crowd , if you call them that , organised by holding seciet rrectlngs did all tbej could to defeat the ti-V.et , with the result tbat three of the best offices In Douglas county were turned over to the fiiMonlsts. not tit-cause tbe candi dates wtre not clean or capable , as they were both , but because -we. Webster , Tay lor & Co , could not run the convention. 1 tiellete the republican party Is greater tban Webster , Taylor. Palmer , Mjers * Burbank - bank , McDonald et al They organized tbe Patriotic league and baasted openly iu their meetings that they bolted tbe ticket be cause the contention , as they saidwas ruled by one man , which was not true , and if it bad In en tbat would not hate been an excuse lor a republican to have defeated the ticket. Still. Taylor noldf a fat federal ap- riointmrnt and Webster want * to be United States senator Be republicans and we will disband the Patriot- ! league of bolters and go Into the national campaign and put Douglas county once more in the rei'uMlran column , where It belongs We will elect an entire repub- Starved Hair Slow growth of bfiir comes from _ leckof haiHood.

THEY BRAVED THE BLIZZARD pc nil AVnrd ncpnlillran * Do Not Allu v Hie Storm to Chill Thtlr Ilntlini-InKin. Notwithstanding the blizzard which swept Omaha Wednesday night , a meeting of the Second Word Republican club was largely attende-d. Every seat in the ball at 1443 South Sixteenth Kre-et was taken and in cluded in the attendance was a notable representation of pirneer citizens who of late years have seldom ben seen at po litical meetings. < 5e-veral candidates were present. 'Speeches were made by W. W. Bingbam , candidate for mayor. Charles Saunders and George Heimrod , candidate's for city treas urer : John N Wertberg. candidate for city comptroller. Be-ecber Higby. candidate for tity clerk. Fred Sackett , candidate for tax commissioner , end Mike Lee , Fred Hoye , C H. Kessler and John Behm. candidates for the city council from tie Scona ward. Each candidate spoke briefly , dcelaring har mony , and soliciting : support 'without de tracting from tbe merits of .heir respec- tUe rivals. . Harmony prevailed throughout tbe meeting General speeches were made * by men who are not candidates as follows John Rush. John Butler end A. C Harte. Each one spoke of tbe good work that has been accomplished by tbe republican administra tion and Mr Rush especially dwelled upon the prosperity that has come since the last presidential ele-raion Hepharacterized It as a "rapid transition from poverty to af fluence " SILVER 'REPUBLICAN LISTS Parllnl Retnrnrr -oeltrrt from tli t Cnni-u - Hrlil for tinSr - lection of Dclrcntf * .

The collecMc-ns last month of taxes long since overdue amounted to a great deal more than ever paid la during tbe same month since the organization of the cltj.

The rapid pay ment of tuxes at this time Is considered to be an indication of tbe fact that property owners have money now and are paying taxes in order to avoid aa accumulation of Interest.

The new president has the time to devote to the work and is entering upon her new duties with considerable en thusiasm At the present time the hos pital Is in need oi help , and It is probable that a ball may be given for the purpose of raising funds to meet curre-nt expsnses. Su-ch a movement will undoubtedly have the undivided support of all South Omaha citirens The hospital is doing a good work and cares for a larce number of charity patients each month. All tbe money de- riie-d for the support of tbe institution comes from voluntary contributions with the exception of the amount allowed by the city each month Charitably inclined per rons are requested to contribute to the hos pital association Clotblng. delicacies and money are needed Itotimx Urtnsr Pnmtcntcd. Sanitary flnspecffor Montague is paying especial attention to tbe smallpox cases , and up to yesterday afternoon everything was in the best of shape. The two colored men are nicely domiciled at tbe Maxwell cot tage. at Thirteenth ind O street , and a guard patrols the premises in order to see that a strict quarantine is maintained. Yes terday afternoon and last evening the inspector specter fumigated all the city offices with a formaldehjde generator. Tbc priscners in the city jail haie been vaccinated and the jail and the jail office have been fumi gated to that there is really no danger of Infection now from contact wih those IB the city building.

Quite a number of the republicans are talking of placing the name of Jay La erty before the people for member of the Board ! of Education. Mr. Laverty is prominent in republican circles and is exceedingly pop ular. especially in the First ward , where be is best known Three members of the board retire at the coming election , and as far as known only one of 'hose whose terras er- pire will be a candidate for re-ele-ction. Charle ? Scan- was appointed to fill tbe va cancy canted by the resignation of W. B. Wyman. and it is more than likely that he will consent to be a candidate on the demo cratic ticket As for the other vacancies , it is the intention of tbe republicans to select well known and trustworthy business or professional men for tbe positions Protection for KJectrlrnl Worker * . At tonight's meeting of the city council a petition from tbe electrical workers will he read asking for legislation in behalf of thee doing elertncal work in the city It is de sired that those doing electrical construc- ion work be required to pay a license , the proceeds to go Into the fire fund , all work I done to be In accordance with the rules of the National Fire Underwriters' association and to be inspected by tbe city electrician. It is further requested that all parties doing contract work be required to pass aa ex amination before a board competed of the city electrician , the chief ol tbe fire depart ment and one practical electrician. This petition has fourteen signature * and the council will be urge-d to prepare an ordi nance as outlined by tbe petitioners. Million Llrrnkr Jllnttrrk. Yesterday morning tbe attention of Secre tary Ryan of the Board of Education was called to tbe fact that several saloons In the city were operating without a license. Mr R > an asserted thut the school fund was low and that the additional license money would come in tery handy at this time. He promU-ed to investigate tbe matter. In ad dition to tbe two saloons mentioned in JCE- terday's Bee , which are running without a license , may be adde.d tbe place at SC1S N street With the Il.f.00 to be derived from these three licenses the school board will be able to pay quite a number of bills before it has to issue warrants against account * In which there Is no money.

Quoting the words of en eminent Irie-h Oetbolic priest in South Afrtca , Ret. John Williams , re-ctor of St. Barnabas' Epis copal churci. concluded an address on tie Boeff war Wednesday night by saying. "In my opinion. England lhas seldom , if ever , aad Justcr cause for war than has lie-en afforded her in the present conflict 'by reason ol the narrow , prejudiced tyranny of the Boers. " Father Williams delivered hie address in the chapel ol Trinity cathedral. It was listened to by a small but appreciative audience. The speaker covered the sub- jec1 exhaustively and bis address showed that unusual care h d < beem given Its preparation. In ils introduction he called attention to certain reasons advanced by Boer sympathizers for American sentiment and bympathy In laver of the Boers. He stated tiat in advancing the-se reasons comparisons have been made with fios ! conditions existing in the United States during the progress of various wars , the aim being to ehtablie-h a kindred relation between tbe Boeis and the Americans when they were struggling for independence from England. "It is characteristic of human nature. " he said , "to sympathize with tbe weak , but this i . not always wife , es pecially should it be demonstrated that the weak are in tbe wrong. In order to arouse prejudice against the Britons in this present struggle Englaad'e approval of Indian bar barities toward the Americans many yeas ago has been brought forward as an Issue This matter , however , has no place In the present conflict " In consideration of the subject Re-v. W1I- liaais deHed deep into the ancient history of England He brought to light tbe ani- moKitj 'toward ' that country of the Euro pean nations and stated that now , at alwavf in the past , their sympathies Jor the an tagonists of the Bnttms were giie-a riot be cause of their belief In justice out because of their intense hatred for England. In point be cited France's belated aid t-- > America during th9 revolution. This , be said , was given not so much because Frame sought to aid America in securing it ? iad < - pendence , but because it hated England eo bitterly. The address was replete with hi - 'crical information After minutely c ! - scribing the early history of England and tbe resins prompting many of her war , Rev. Williams traced tbe history of Souta Africa from the time of its discovery Con tinuing to more modern times he gave an accurate recital of political conditions in tbat country , showing tbe vacillating policy that has existed In the government of tbe diHerent sections of South Africa. "Ultimately , " he said , "all of South Africa will be either Englitb or German. In this struggle with the Boers England stands fcr what is just in government and primarily for personal liberty No de oper wnse of justice can be found with any other people in the -world. American pympatbizers with the Boers lay the blame for this present deplorable conflict to the accursed des'ro ' fcr goW of tbe English This is claptrap It is reasonable to believe that tbe Boer is aa human ac the Englishman , the Irish man or the American in this respect and that he is Just BE greedy for gold. Tb'i conflict JK purely and simply one that has been instituted to establish the supremacy of either lie Dutch of tbe English. It ii shallow to assert tbat the English are Sgb'- ing for gold in opposition to tie Boers in , their struggle for liberty. England ln" " that the cost rf tbe war will be more- than the revenue from tie gold and diamond mines will amount to In a century's time "England will tie victorious. The- only possible reason for doubting this is. the pof- i'lblllty ' that the attention of the military may of nccesity be directed elsewhere b < - fore tie Bser conflict is cnde > d It Is , as I have B ld. a Cg'bt for supremacy In South Africa If Enrland wins there will be equal riebto and ] ibenlelor everyone.
