"When the people have power to choose
all their judges and then select them
with an eye single to their fitness to the
positions to be tilled; when they award
the judicial ermine to men honest
enough to desire justice, intelligence
enough to discern justice, and courage

will our courts approach the ideal and
our lawyers be btimulated to earnest en

doubtedly meet with a considerable re
sponsive sentiment in the state conven

would have the combined A. P. A.
strength back of him. Sotno republi
cans are very much in earnest in their
desire to continuo the work begun by
the republicans of Douglas county in
last fall's election, and administer
another and more telling blow to Mr.
Ropcwater in the state convention.
Others take the position that the anti
Roscwater movement has gone far
enough. Eugene Moore would bo ac

satisfied with Meiklejohn.

Tim Sedgwick, of the York Times, is
raising a loud cry in behalf of better,
bigger, brainer men for public office in
this state. Mr. Sedgwick has been sec
retary of the republican state central
committee and he is a politician of re
nown as well as a gentleman of polish,
with ruddy hair. He has been in a po
sition to discover the sinallness of many
of the men who have, in one way and
another, pushed themselves to the
front in Nebraska, and there is no ques
tion but the cry he is sending up is a
proper cry. We do want better, bigger,
brainer men in the front line of Nebraska
manhood, in the great array of office
holders, in all the positions of trust and
power, We want men in public places
who are on intimate terms with con
science. Wo want big men, whoso very
nature is opposed to littleness, bicker
ings, dishonesty and all forms of cor
ruption. A man wished for happiness.
He did not get it. A child wished for a
woolly horse for Christmas. She got a
little candy pig. Here in Nebraska we
want great big manly men in public
offices. But Tim and all the rest may
cry and pray and the great big men and
the offices will we are afraid remain
apart. It is a far cry, indeed, that Mr.
Sedgwickis sending up.lho right sort of
men do not want what we want them to
have. In the meantime the little square
pegs go knocking around in tho big
round holes.
Jack McColl has, it is said, made
8250,000 and will not ba a candidate for
governor. Mr. McColl, with his quarter
of a million, taking it for granted that
the newspaper story is true, will be a
brilliant ornament among the political
has-beens of the state. He has tried for
governor and failed too many times to
'allow of his ever being nominated. He
must make way for newer and younger
men without ever having extracted any
tangible recognition from his party or
the state. Mr. McColl has been unfor
tunate, politically. He is a living proof
of the truth that nothing comes to him
who waits.
Eugene Moore, auditor of public ac
counts, who has made a most excellent
public officer, has somehow failed to ac
cumulate 8250,000duringhis three years
service as auditor at 32,500 per year. At
any rate he has not, like Mr. McColl, de
clined to be governor. Mr. Moore has
given the people a clean, business-like
administration, and he is a strong man.
He has many friends among the reform
element of ihe republican party in all
parts of the state.
There is much interest just now in
the question as to the exact nature of
the political ambition of Mayor W. J.
Broatch. of Omaha. It has been confi
dently stated, ever since last November,
that Mr. Broatch would be a candidate
for governor, and yet once in awhile
some supposed intimate friend declares
that he will not be a candidate. It is
pretty certain that if Mr. Broatch can
get the Douglas county delegation, and
it now looks very much as if he might,
he will be a candidate for governor. His
candidacy would be waged on the issue
"Down Rosewater," and would un-
The Journal could wish for no more
fitting tributo to its influence than tho
remarkable success of its effort to raise
a Hag fund by popularsubscription. Tho
Journal has only been raising the money
for two or three week6, and up to Tues
day, the date of this writing, had se
cured, exclusive of its own contribution,
the magnificent sum of 817. No one can
doubt the influence of the Journal.
Mr. Cleveland's bankrupt government
has a credit that antedates Mr. Cleve
land's election to tho presidency, and
Mr. Carlisle will doubtless have no
trouble in selling the $100,000,000 of
bonds. Since tho democratic party has
been running the Government most
peoplo have forgotten that there ever
was such a thing as a surplus.
It is reported that Mr. I. M. Ray
mond will bo a candidate for council
man in the Third ward. It is hardly
probable that Mr. Raymond would care
to take the office of councilman, with its
large responsibilities and small com
pensation. But there is an inviting
field in the city council for honest, en
ergetic, public spirited men like Mr.
Raymond, and it would b a good thing
for the city if men of this class could be
induced to sacrifice themselves as have
Mr. Wobsterand a very few others.
Mr. Harwood has changed his nom
de plume. For some reason he tired of
"Jerusalem Gustavus Perseverance
Hildebrand" as a trade mark in pub
lishing the Herald. He is now doing
his editorial work unJcr the pen name,
'Horace Greeley Whitmore." Col. Har
wood in his latest guise evinces a strong
predilection for homago before the Star
Eyed Goddess of Reform. It is easy to
imagine after a perusal of the Herald
that the versatile editor has in mind the
reorganization of the benumbed civic
fedcratijn and, possibly, his own candi
dacy for mayor or councilman. It will
be interesting to note tho success of Col.
Harwood in reconciling thn Star Eyed
Goddess with the Honorable Tobias
Castor. He cannot consistently exploit
both with Mr. Castor pulling and haul
ing in the direction of the flesh pots and
the Goddess sailing in the azure sky of
purity. Maybe Mr. Castor, under the
editorial influence of Col. Harwood, will
renounce the gross and vulgar baubles
of practical politics for the beautiful
virtues of genuine, federated reform.
This, it may be remarked in passing,
would be a sublime spectacle. It is
much pleasanter to think of such a devel
opment than it would be to contemplate
the pallid Goddess trailing in the mire
of base politics, her skirts bedraggled
with the impurities of the undertow.
Surely bringing the Honorable Tobias
Castor and the Star Eyed Goddess of
Reform together 'a an undertaking
worthy of the editorial genius of Mr.
Harwood, yclept, "Horace Greeley Whit
more." This week Mr. Cochran and Mr. Low
and Mr. Trompen were installed in of
fice and Judge Lansing, Mr. Baker and
Mr. Miller were cast adrift in a cold
world. Ike Lansing was an honest, up
right, impartial judge and that is say-
