HOWELL AS
Record of tho Democratic Candidate for Mayor
of April 15, 1897.
Ad Interesting and very pertinent query
la raised by a review of the offlclal record
of Edward E. Howell, the fusion candidate
for mayor. The question Is. bow far can
Howell be depended on to fill the fulsome
promises be Is making so liberally. Tha
only answer Is to be found In the record
made In the past by Howell whenever h
has bad an opportunity to make an o.TkUl
record.
The whole tenor of the platform on
which Howell Is seeking the suffrage of
the voters of Omaba Is for municipal own
ership and against corporation domination;
Howell and his supporters are talking In
public at ward meetings and on the streets
about municipal ownership of all natural
monopolies, and war on the corporations
Is the slogan by which tbey are seeking to
rally the mass of voters about tha banner
of the gamblers' friend.
Tho official record made by Edward E.
Howell has a more direct bearing on thii
very question than on any other question
of general importance. This record shows
of itself that Howell has been a politician
who caters to the wishes of tho corpora
tions, while be tries to make the oeoDle
believe he Is grinding tbe soulless corpora
tions Into the eartb.
It Is only necessary to go back to the
session of the legislature Just closed. An
examination of the Omaha charter hill.
Howell's pet measure, and the one on
which he banked to carry blm Into the
mayors chslr, shows that Howell'8 old
trick of knuckling to the corporation la
strongly In evidence.
When this blip was Introduced tbe sec
tion providing for the Issuance of bonds
for acquiring quasi-public works Included
among Its provisions a clause covering
street railways, providing that bonds might
De issued for the appropriation Of these
works.
The section referring to the city electri
cian provided that that official should ln
spect and supervise all public street light
ing.
Looks After His Friends.
This charter bill was referred to Howell's
committee. It evidently occurred to the en
terprising chairman that the street rail
way company and gas company In this city
were two very powerful corporations In a
political sense, and tbe fangs of the sec
tion referred to were carefully removed by
the astute Mr. Howell so that his friends,
the gas company and the street railway
company could not be offended.
When the bill was reported back to the
leglolature it was so amended that the
street railway system was In no danger of
even being appropriate! or molested by tbe
city and the inspection of the gas lighting
was stricken from the duties of tbe city
electrician. Tbe latter action means tbat
the office of gas inspector will be continued
and that a man not unfriendly to the gas
company will be kept In the office if Mr.
Howell has anything to say about it.
This latter action is bardly In harmony,
with the plank of tbe fusion platform
which declares in favor of abolishing need
less offices wherever possible.
Another instance in the charter In which
the interests of the street railway company
bave been protected to the detriment of the
best Interests of the property owners of
the city is found In the section' whlcb pro
vides for tbe extension of the street rail
way lines. When introduced this section
should have been harmless enough to suit
the most fastidious. It simply provided
that when a majority of property owner
along any street should petition the mayor
and council for the extension of a street
railway line and should waive the right to
compel the company to pave between it
tracks, "Then the street railway company
may construct a line along said street, etc."
The section was not mandatory in any
sense and simply gave the street railway
company the privilege of constructing tbe
line, but Chairman Howell in order to fully
protect bis friends, the corporations, in
serted a clause which required that a street
improvement district shall first be created
along the street where the street railway
line is desired to be extended. This simply
means that the residents of any outlying
district desiring a street railway line may
be held off by the street railway company
until a petition tor paving has been signed
by the owners of a majority of tbe property
along the proposed extension and a paving
district has been created. The effect of this
will be to practically prohibit tbe construc
tion of any extension of street railway
lines.
Howell's record In the city council of
Omaba is full of Instances where tbe re
doubtable trickster has either played di
rectly into the bands of tbe franchlsed cor
porations or baa dodged the issue.
Votes Against Pnblle Interest.
His record on matters affecting tbe in
terest of the water works csmosny belies
his loud mouthed professions of anxiety
to see the city appropriate the plant. When
ever the opportunity offered to protect
the Interests of the city sgalnst the In
terests of the water company, Howell in
variably voted to protect the' water com
pany regardless of the effect upon the city.
His record In this connection started as
early as about the middle of his first term
In the council. At that time there was a
dispute over what was generally known as
thA vnnji.M ereement. an agreement
entered Into with the city by Charles H.
Venner then vice president of the
American Water company, whereby the
water company agreed to relocate 100 use
less fire hydrants and locate tbem at points
where the city would derive some benefit
from the $60 per year it was paying for
each of these hydrants. Three ordinances
were passed ordering about thirty-seven of
these hydrants placed at other points. Tbe
water company refused to comply with
the ordinances and a long fight ensued.
Every effort waa used to compel the water
company to live up to the agree-ent made
oy its omcera. ciruug - - -
to besr upon the council by tne emissaries
ot the water company and tbe ordinances
In question were repealed. August 8.
1893, tho mayor vetoed the ordinance
repealing them and stated that no harm
could come from letting the ordinances
tand until the dispute between the water
company an the city had been adjusted In
tbe court. The controversy ocr tne al
leged failure of the water company to
furnish tbe fir protection required by It
contract wa at it height and there wa
a strong division ot sentiment In the
council. The veto of the mayor wa over
ridden. Howell arraigning himself on tbs

side of the water company to tbe injury of
tbe public.
From that time the fight over the water
works question waxed warm. The lines
were sharply drawn aod Howell was com
pelled to choose between the two sides.
His ability as a trimmer wss taxed to tbe
utmost and by drawing largely on this
faculty and doing a great deal of dodging
he avoided going on record In many in
stances, but the records of the council
proceedings show very clearly where ho
stood on the question whenever his vote
wss needed.
Starting the latter part of 1893, tho dis
pute between tho water company on the one
hsnd and the mayor and a part of the council
on tbe other hand wsged fiercely, last
ing until the end of Howell's term of office
as councilman. During this entire dispute
Howell was on the side of the water corn
Always vtlth the Company.
December 26, 1893, Just before the end of
Howell's first term In the council, the bill
of the American Water Works company for
the first six months of that year was vetoed
by the mayor on the ground that it was a
notorious fact that tbe water company was
not flirnlHhlncr Ik Hr. nfnlonllnn VA.,lA.t
by Its contract and on the further ground
that tbe city had been put to an expensa
of over $15,000 In buying and equipping fire
engines to give the city the fire protection
the water company was claiming py for
furnishing. The mayor recommended that
the bill of the company be reduced in order
to make good to the city this extra expense,
which was claimed to be directly charge
able against the water company. Did
Howell vote to sustain this position of the
mayor? Nit.
July 17, 1894, after Howell had been re
elected to the council, the bill of the water
company for the last six montha nf inns
vetoed by Mayor Bemls on account ot non
compliance with tbe terms ot the contract.
Again tbe council voted to override the
mayor' veto and Howell was among the
first to vote to protect the Interests of the
water company against the demands of tho
city.
January 8, 1895, another bill of the
American Water Works company wa
vetoed by the mayor in a long message,
setting forth the delinquencies ot the water
company and tha palpable fact that the city
was bolng mulcted each year for thousands
of dollars for which It received no adequate
return. In tbls as In the case of every
other veto of the mayor, the discussion in
tbe council was warm. The matter was
fully discussed in all Its bearings and thoro
was no possibility of any member of iht
council being Ignorant of all the details
in connection with the case, but here Howell
1 found on tho side of tbe corporation nnd
voting to protect it against any possible
encroachment on the part of the city,
defending the corporation against any
possibility of being forced into court to
adjudicate a questionable claim.
March 26, 1S95, tbe mayor called the at
tention ot the council to the tact that the
water company made a practice ot extend
ing small mains indefinitely until tbe pres
cure at the end ot one of these long mains
was reduced by friction to almost nothing.
The mayor urged the appointment of a com
mittee to devise a plan whereby the water
company should be compelled to extend
mains with a view ot furnishing an ample
supply of water far all future needs. Howell
was appointed chairman of this com
mittees and April 2, 1895, this committee
reported a plan whereby the water com
pany was to submit to the council a plat
In each instance where a new hydrant was
ordered showing the location of the new
main. This was simply playing directly
into the bands of the corporation and the
j-lan was comdemned by the city engineer
as being no change from tbe old way. A
plan was later suDmltted by the mayor by
which ordinance ordering new hydrants
should be dratted by the city engineer, tho
size of the mains being based on careful
calculations of tho probable future needs
of tbe section in which the mains were to
be laid. Tbls plan was objectionable to
the water company on account ot the in
creased expense caused by laying larger
mains, and Howell fought the plan In the
council. Notwithstanding his opposition,
the plan was adopted and Is In force to
this day.
Hla Last Water Works Deal.
Tbe only instance on record In which
Howell voted to sustain tbe veto ot the
mayor on tbe bills of tbe water company
is found in the records ot the city council
proceedings for April 30, 1895. This bill
was vetoed while an effort was being made
by the water company to effect a com
promise with the city whereby it might
get tbe money that It claimed was due,
the mayor having refused to sign tbe war
rants for water rent. All during tbs
summer ot 1895 these attempts at a com
promise were continued, Howell being very
active in trying to force some of tbe coun
ctlmen and the mayor Into line on a com
promise whlcb would give the water com
pany everything it asked for and leave the
city holding tbe sack. Tbls effort finally
culminated in tbe appointment of a com
mittee' ot three on August 27, 1895, Howell
being made chairman of the committee.

colleagues in the council, snd Kennard,
who signed the minority report, made a
t fight for the adoption of the minor-

bills, uncovering tbe true inwardness of the
deal, but Howell stood up to the rack and
voted to pass the bills over the veto.
At the next meeting of the council the
mayor sent In a scorching communication,
declaring that the nonsense bad gone on
long enough and that the time bad come
for the city to assert Its rights and take
possession of the water works plant. This
sujtgfstlon was right In line with the desire
which Howell professes Is now so dear to
his heart, but did he take oft bis coat and
try to carry out this ideaT Never! Tho

Record on Gas Ordinance.
Howell's record In connection with an
other of the franchlsed corporations, the
Omaha Gas company, is short, but what
little there is of It indicate what be
would have done bad be bad more oppor
tunities. The gas company has generally
avoided openly showing its hand in con
nection with city council matters, but when
Its franchise was about to expire it went
"ystematloally to work to secure the re-
newal of this very valuable concession on
terms which it regarded as highly favorable.
In accordance with a well laid plan, one
of the most iniquitous ordinance which
ever disgraced a city was passed through
the council November 14, 1893. Tbls ordi
nance gave to tbe gas company a franchise
of fifty years and provided that the com
pany might charge consumers ot gas $1.75
a thousand feet. The provision for scaling
down the price of gas according to the
gross amount consumed by all tbe connum-
Pr" commenced at a flguro which would not
have been reached for generations. No
provision was made to compel tbe company
to pay the city any royalty and no charge
of any kind was made on tbe company In
return for the very valuable franchise thus
bestowed upon It. Edward E. Howell voted
for this franchise.
At tbe next meeting ot the council, No
vember 21, 1893, this ordinance wa vetoed
by the mayor, but the council, by a trick,
adjourned before the veto message of the
mayor had been delivered to it Tbe claim
was then made that the ordinance had be
come a law without the signature of the
mayor, notwithstanding the fact that In
junction proceedings bad been instituted to
test Its validity In the courts.
At i meeting of the council November 28
the city clerk notified the council that he
had received from the mayor, immediately
after tbe council had adjourned so abruptly
at tbe last meeting, a veto of the gas
franchise. A communication was also re
ceived from the mayor notifying the council
that he had sent In a veto of the ordi
nance. An animated discussion ensued over
receiving the veto of the mayor and a mo
tion was carried by which the council re
fused to receive the veto message. No vote
was recorded on this motion, but the records
show that Howell was present.
After public discussion of this outrageous
franchise bad wsxed very warm and the
Injunction suit promised trouble for the
gas company and council, tbe gas company
thought better of its action and another
ordinance was passed and accepted, cutting
the period of the franchise down to twenty
five years, making provision for a royalty
to be paid the city and thus saving millions
cf dollars to the public.
Howell's record on the infamous garbage
contract Is in keeping with his record on
all other question in which the interests
of the mass of the residents ot Omaha is
arrayed on one side and that ot the cor
porations Is on the other side.
With the Garbage Monopoly.
July 6, 1893, the city council opened bids
for removing the garbage of the city.
Three bids were received and at the meet
ing of July 18. 1893, the contract for re-
moving the garbage was awarded to Alex-
auutrr iuauiuuaiu. i ne contract
was
awarded on s verbal motion, but the
records show that Howell was present at
the meeting.
The contract of MacDonald was submitted
and approved at the meeting of the council
held three days later. In the meantime It
had become generally known that Alexander
MacDonald was simply a stool pigeon and
that the real party behind the contract wa
Solon L. Wiley, the manager of the Thom
son-Houston Electric Light company.
tnaer the exposures of The Bee public
sentiment aguinst the contract crystallzed
rapidly. Edward E. Howell was afraid to
meet the Issue squarely and be dodged.
When the contract was presented for ap
proval he was conspicuous by hi absence
and it waa approved without his vote.
Between that time and tbe next meeting
of the council. July 25. 1893, public sentiment
ran very high and the people of the city
were greatly wrought up by the Infamous
features of the contract. Tbe mayor vetoed
tne contract, but the veto was overriden.
Again Howell dodged. He knew the drift
of public sentiment, but, afraid of offend
lng his dear friends, the managers ot the
corporation pool, he was conveniently ab
sent from the meeting.
The supporters of the garbage contractor
evidently feared to brook public opinion too
frequently and nothing was done In the
way of passing ordinances to put the con
tract Into effect until December 4, 189S,
when tho ordinance was passed which pre
scribed the conditions under which garbage
was to be removed. For this Howell voted.
Thl8 the ordinance which prevented poor
men owning teams from earning a pittance
by hauling manure. The ordinance wa
sweeping in its terms snd put . Into the
bands of the garbage contractor the haul
log of everything in the nature of refuse
matter. The practical effect of thl in
iquitous measure is too well known to the
citizens of Omaha to require recital.
To cap "the climax, however, an ordi
nance was introduced by Edward E. Howell
in April, 1895, and passed by the city
council, which makes it unlawful for any
one to haul clean ashes or cinder without
first securing a permit from tbe mayor and
ccuncil. This ordinance was much more
sweeping In Its terms than tbe old ordl-
ance and Included all tbe little odd Jobs
that bad been left teamster after the
passage of the previous ordinance.
This ordinance was vetoed by tbe mayor
April SO. As wss done with every other
measure affecting the Interests of tbe cor
porations as against the people, this ordi
nance was passed over tbe veto, Edward E.
Howell voting to pass it over tbe veto.

So far as the markets are concerned there

have been a few fluctuations back and

The cheese market advanced K2a per

for, owing to the fact that two of the
largest manufacturers In the country are
closed down at the time of year when ordi
narily they would be turning out the great
est amount.
in tne cannra kuwib line mere is veiy
little new except an Increased and a more
healthy demand for nearly all lines. The
general Impression Is that trade will con
tinue to Increase for some little time. Local
Jabbers are still of the opinion that to
matoes have reached the bottom notch and
that higher prices will prevail In a short
time should tho usual spring demand be
experienced.
Tho demand for practically all kinds of
dried fruits showed quite an Increase last
week. As a result the market on apricot
is quoted stronger and peaches are also
firmer. The cold weather of last week,
which Is thought to have destroyed a large
proportion of the small fruit crop In this
section of the country, Is undoubtedly re
sponsible In a large measure for the
strength of the dried fruit market, for If
the fruit crop is destroyed It will mean a
prolonged season for dried fruits.
Rice was marked up '40 per pound last
week, owing to the liberal demand and
short surpHes.
Advices were received In Omaha last week
to the effect that a Bharp advance in the
Erice of tea had gone into effect in Japan,
ocal Jobbers, however, were Inclined to
decredlt the story, as It has not been con
firmed. The coffee market Is reported as
being dull and weak.
Dry Goods Trade Very olet.
Trade with local dry good jobber was
very limited last week so far a Immediate
business waa concerned. Very few buyers
arrived on the market and mall orders
were few In numbers. The reason for thia
sudden falling off in the demand Is thought
to be the cold weather which prevailed
a good share of last week. People, nf
course, will not buy any great quantity
of spring goods when the weather requires
winter clothing, so Jobbers are not sur
prised at the alack demand.
Fall business, however. Is reported as
being very satisfactory. Traveling men
have so far met with better success than
ever before In getting merchants to place
their orders early in the season. In fact,
fall trade nns been so heavy that a great
many popular lines of staple goods are
sold up and jobbers are finding It difficult
to place reorders with manufact Jiers. This
situation will doubtless continue until the
labor troubles with the mills have been ad-t

very satisfactory, but. of course, retailers
are just as short on supplies as whole
salers. Rubber Goods May Advance.
The genersl Impression Is that an advance
of 6 per cent will go into effect June 1 on
rubber foot wear. Jobbers are naming
prices only until May 81, in anticipation of
the advance. Owing to this expected rise
In prices, retailers are now placing their
fall orders very freely, and Jobbers think
that before the end of the month all the
larger orders will have been booked. A
few merchants, of course, never ord'-r until
they actually need the goods, but the num
ber is small. Immediate buHlness with
rubber goods men has been very quiet and
nut much is anticipated for the near fu
ture. Leather goods have also been moving out
rather slowly, as this Is a between-season
period. There has not been enough warm
weather as yet to bring spring foot wear
into demand. The fact that low shoes are
being so generally worn by both men and
women has a tendency to retard spring
business, as comparatively few people will
wear a low shoe until ths weather la quite
warm. When the demand, though, does
set in. It comes with a rush, so that In the
near future Jobbers look for quite a slslng.

Fall orders for leather goods are coming
in quite freely, and In fact more so than
usual, owing no doubt to the upward ten
dency of the market.

There have been comparatively few
changes In the fruit and vegetable market
during the past week. Strawberries though
are down to $3 per twenty-four-quart esse'
