It Is the purpose of the promoters of the

never have parted trlth a donation , which
shown your admiration lor a better or a
noble-r man. A brief congratulatory letter ,

OMAHA , ' Neb. , Teb. 5. 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-

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

tbe meeting
General speeches were made * by men
who are not candidates as follows John

amounted to a great deal more than ever

in during January. 1899 , and about J5.000
In excess of ithe receipts for the same
month of IWR As far as tbe treasurer's
office IE concerned the city's finances were
nerer in better shape , as more people are
paying taxes than ever before and more
back taxes are being'paid. 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

one. The new president has the time to
devote to the work and is entering upon
her new duties with considerable en

that a ball may be given for the purpose
of raising funds to meet curre-nt expsnses.

the undivided support of all South Omaha

and cares for a larce number of charity

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. By oollertlng thin

LECTURE ON THE BOER WAR
He . .loll 11 1\illlniu ni-friulft Ili
inill > n In tlir I'rt-M-nt I tuilrn-
< In Mintli ATrlcn.
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. If tbe
Dutch win. the English will have to leave
tiat continent and the natives wil ! be left
