THE pitnct COUXTT DtrtC.TIOX.
The attempt of the fake reform press

Williams and the defection of tho
Pierce tounty delegation to the state
t publican convention -m ine idea that
they acted In gool faun will not bold
water with Intelllgott people v. ho are
ffsmlllar with the faos. The neennp-
tlon that the Pierce tounty delegation
was not Instructed on the sehatorship
is baseless.' The resolutions Instruct
ing the delegation for Judge Boyd,
tor congress, ror Senator Sheldon for
governor and for Edward Rosewater
foe the United Stales senator were
passed, each separately. In the pres
cues of the candidates, and we feel
snre lhat. Senator Sheldon and Judge
Boyd will corroborate this statement.
The comparison between the con
duct of Judge Williams and the Pierce
county delegates whom he controlled
and that of the Saunders and Butler
county delegates who changed from
Brown to Rosewater 00 the third and
fourth ballots is not well taken. . The
Saunders and Butler county delegates
voted their individual preference
after discharging their obligation with
out compensation or promise of re
ward.. . The performance of Judge
Williams was a piece of rank treach
ery and a clear sell-out. The bar
gain for his vote and that of the dele
gates whose votes he cast against their
instructions was made before the con
vention opened. And yet Judge WU
Hams, when asked before the conven
tion opened what-he had 'to any re
garding the reports of impending de
' fectlpn which had been foreshadowed
by the Lincoln Journal, declared, on
honor to the chairman of the Doug'
las county delegation, aa well , as to
others, that there wasn't the slightest
foundation for the report.
He clinched the denial with the
pledge that he and the other delegates
from Pierce county would stand for
Rosewater from first to last. Within
ten minutes after he had given this
assurance, he was seen arm in . arm
with Frank Harrison, the manager of
the Brown press bureau, who had In
velgled him Into selling out his con
stituents for a mess of pottage.
It is also a telltale coincidence that
Mr. Caldwell of Clay county, who had
been promised a nomination for state
railway commissioner at the fake re
form bargain counter, was given to
understand before the convention as
sembled that Judge Williams would be
one of the three nominees for rail
road commissioner. Mr. Caldwell Is an
honest, sincere advocate of railroad
regulation and he was sold out the
moment that Williams was bought in.
Had , Mr. Williams been a candidate
for railroad commissioner or even
contemplated becoming a candidate
before the Pierce county convention
had assembled, he could readily have
secured instructions from ' his own
county for that office. Manifestly, his
candidacy was projected for him after
the Pierce county convention had been
held,' and ' the statement that " Pierce
county had not Instructed Its dele
gates to the state convention to sup
port Rosewater was fabricated to ex
cuse his dishonorable conduct.
stays or popular avtakksixo.
The most noteworthy feature of
the ferment In both political parties
in New Y6rk is the disposition to have
party tickets this year ' represent pop
ular sentiment and purpose. This
tendency has gone so far as to impress
old time party managers and to impel
them to consider how they can sat
isfy the people who demand a real
share In naming their representatives.
The movement In the republican party
to put Thomas E. Hughes to the front
for governor and in the democratic
party to name William T. Jerome Is
a most significant development of the
situation. ,
Both these men, while they were
long known as party adherents, repre
sent everything that Is repugnsnt to
machine politics carried to the ex
treme In the Empire state. Neither
of them In office would for one Instant
knuckle to machine dictation, and
each Is the last man any combination
of bosses would pick out to represent
their interests in patronage and legis
lative manipulations. They are men
of Independent spirit who regard pub
lic duty as paramount and whose
action would square with their con
victions of public Interest.
Nothing could be more suggestive of
popular determination to have a
change from the dictatorial machine
regime than the fact that many of Its
most hardened and conspicuous leaders
not only have abandoned the Idea of
machine tickets, but also are Making
show of favoring Hughes and Jerome.
On the democratic side there is the
additional emb-rrsssmpnt of dealing
with the Hearst raid which threatens
to become serious, and which, while
pretending to act in the name of the
people, is practically a most obnox
ious form of bosslsm.
In the great pivotal state of New
York the campaign midway In a presi
dential term Is the time when party
managers form their lines and shape
their strategy for the national con
test two years later. It means a great
deal therefore that they have now to
accept as a paramount fact that the
people propose to settle affairs which
the machines have been accustomed
to arrogate to themselves, .and that
bossiam can attempt to block the way
only at Its own peril.
Whea It comes to the election of
members of the next legislature Omaha
and Nebraska have a common Interest
in the selection of men who will legis
late for a square deal between all
classes of taipsyers.

project of running a spur to the South

v GOLD A XT) THE INTEREST RATK.
The paradox of a rapidly Increasing
world's product. rising for the cur
rent year far above 1400,006,000. or
more than the value of the annual
rrdtpuf of both the gold and silver
mines not long ago, along with an In
creasing Interest rate, has not been
better explained than by1 Herman
Sietken, the great Oermad financier,
who emphasises -the stimulating effect
of the unprecedented gold Increment
upon Industry,. "The gold output,"
he says, "Is only a stimulus to Indus
try and will not bring down the Inter
est rate until the world's commerce
ceases to expand." i In other words,
the sure prospect of. an enlarged sup
ply of money stock encourages enter
prise, which calls. for capital and bids
It up. " ' . ' i . ' "
Precisely this process on an enor
mous scale has been In .progress In
this country, closely following the as
surance ten ' years 1 ago that adjust
ments were not to be .violently dislo
cated by an arbitrary change from
the world's money standard. - No such
Industrial expansion was ever before
experienced In the United States, but
It has been paralleled In One degree
or another during the- same time in
other, countries, and particularly in
Germany., All the younger industrial
communities like Canada are increas
ing at a hitherto unknown rate their
demand for. cash . funds and credit
The enormous concentrations In Indus
trial organisation In this and In other
countries, all proposing enlarged oper
ations in old and extensions into new
fields, are merely an Index of the In
crease of enterprise and trade which
must be financed.
The same forces are asserting them
selves notably In great municipal bond
ing operations, New York and Phila
delphia having lately had to face sales
of thirty and fifty-year bonds on a 4
per cent basis, which Is 30 per
cent higher than, they .were able
to realize a few . years ago. The
recent Panama bond sale byx the
United States is an explainable excep
tion to the rule to which even national
and municipal governments of the
strongest credit mast submit. Stock
values in this country have long In
large part reflected development an
ticipations, but in such a worldwide
demand for money, involving Innumer
able alternative profits at high rates,
early realization Is demanded by In
vestors, even in our most promising
properties.
The possibilities of gold production
are now known to be almost Illimit
able, and although the annual output
may be still further vastly Increased
the Interest rate will not . fall .until
enterprise shall exhaust itself of some
how receives a check. , 1 : .
MUNICIPAL CIVIL BKHVlCt.
Nearly every large cty in this coun
try has within recent years adopted a
test of competency under elvll service
rules for all ' municipal employes.
Omaha Is one of the very few excep
tions. Here the spoils system in. its
most offensive and injurious form still
prevails. While there always, have
been some misfits and incompetents in
our municipal service daring previous
administrations, a great majority of
the men on the municipal pay roll were
qualified for the work assigned to
them. Under the present regime, how
ever, the reverse is the rule.' : Scores
of men who are absolutely unfit to fill
the jobs to which they have been as
signed have been foisted upon the city
pay roll and the whole city service has
been demoralized. The fault is not
altogether with Mayor Dahlman, who
has endeavored In many instances to
stand off Incompetent taxeatera, but
the council majority seems bent upon
turning everything upside down In the
city hall for partisan ends, regardless
of the damage Inflicted upon the tax
payers.
The responsibility for this state of
affairs is the spoils system, which al
ways has been prolific In graft, em
bezzlement and Inefficiency in the mu
nicipal service. The time is ripe for
a radical change. That change may
be brought about by the voluntary
adoption of civil aervlce rules and the
merit system thst will make com
petency the passport for employment,
and at the same time protect honest
and competent men In the municipal
service from summary discharge and
promote those who are jnost worthy
to higher places. It can also be
brought about and may have to.be
brought about by legislative action that
will make the civil service and merit
system compulsory In cities of the
metropolitan class.
If the council is wise it will heed
this admonition by enacting, an ordi
nance) that will establish civil service
rules and the merit system In Omaha.
By such action ft will relieve Itself
from the pressure thst Is being brought
by place hunters and ward heelers and
at the same time protect honest and
competent democratic employes from
summary discharge In the future, when
the republicans get luto power. If they
persist in foisting a horde of Incompe
tents snd grafters on the city pay roll
they will force tsxpaylng cltlaena of all
parties to organize, for self-protection
and precipitate a conflict that Is to sure
to end in the expulsion of the demo
crats from the city administration.
