to attempt to commit an offense of this
enormity. But 6uch waB the fact. No
wonder that councilir.en quivered with
excitement. No wonder that the fire
engines hud to be called out to cool the
ardor of the outraged authorities.
Think of it, a bow window, right in the
center of the city. And extendingout a
dozen IncheB over the sidewalk, too!
And this in a city where we boast of
universities and culture and other
things It was too much, or as the coun
cil men said, "too much." O.
course the order to suspend all further
work was immediately given. Might as
well discbarge the police force and give
carte blanche, whatever that is, to the
gambling houses and the saloons and
the brothels, as to allow builders to per
petrate projecting bay window?. It
would never do. Today the
new building of the Union Savings bank
on North Eleventh street, a picture of
which was recently printed in The
Cccriek, 6tands a ruin, re
sembling a palace in Pompeii after the
eruption. Now and then a councilman
passes by, a happy, contented smile
lighting his dignified countenance.
Hurrah for good government!
Mr. Metcalfe, of the World-H erald.
thinks that my remarks about Crounse's
course, anent the late republican state
convention, in seeking to obtain the
favor of aliens such as Piatt and Quay
at the expense of the good will of his
own neighbors, the republicans of Ne
braska, is susceptible of application to
the men in this state who favored Mc
Kinley and opposed Mandereon. It is
respectfully submitted that it takes a
somewhat vivid imagination to see any
similarity between the advocacy of Mc
Kinley by Nebraska republicans and
the hysterical conduct of ex Governor
Crounse in berating Senator Thurston
The men in this state who were work
ing for McKinley at no time felt that
they were working against the interests
of the state, or the repuolican party of
the Btate. They knew that McKinley
was the choice of nine-tenths of the re
publican voters of the commonwealth,
and they believed in "standing up for
Nebraaka"by f urtheringthe wishes of an
overwhelming majority of the people of
Nebraska. There was no disloyalty to
any Nebraskan in the advocacy of Mc
Kinley. For two years sentiment in the
republican party in tms state has been
crystallized in favor of the Ohio candi
date. The party was committed to Mc
Kinley long before General Manderson
determined to be a candidate, and not
withstanding the general confidence in
the sincerity of Manderson himself dis
cerning republicans saw in the Mander
son candidacy.not an effort to secure the
elevation of a Nebraskan, but a move
ment instigated by Senator Allisou and
other anti-McKinley leaders, to defeat
the wishes of Nebraska republicans.
Time has shown pretty conclusively that
that conclusion was correct. There never
was at any time in the ante-convention
campaign any desire to humiliate Gen
eral Manderson or to do anything that
would in any way injure him. It was
seen that nothing could be gained for
Mandersou by taking up his candidacy.
It was seen that the movement bad its
oriirin outside of Nebraska and was for
the benefit" of persons other than Ne-braekans.
Ex-Governor frounce inattemplingto
secure the favor of Matthew Stack-em-up
Quay and Thomw6 Corral em Piatt
by attacking Senator Thuiston in a bit
ter, malignant spirit, placed himself in
a hostile attitude before the entire re
publican party of Nebraska. It will be
remembereu that his resolution was
unanimously defeated. On the other
hand the McKinley republicans in this
state were at all times acting in accord
ance with the wishes of the party hen-;
as witness the vote for presidential pref
erence in Lincoln, Beatrice and else
where. Back of the McKinley agitation
in Nebraska there was a strong, patriotic
impulse. Back of the Crounse i emou
6t rat ion there was envy, hatred, nalig
nancy. The New York Voice sajs: "Wonder
if Ed Roggen.of the late Nebraska Bank
ers and Business Men's association,
didn't have something to do with the
late Spanish elections in Cuba. His
handiwork was Btrikingly apparent. "'
It appears from this that E. Ponderous
Roggen is quite as well known in New
York as he is in Nebraska. There was
something peculiar about the elections
iu Cuba, and the Voice might well have
imagined that Roggen was in the vicin
ity. But the truth is Mr. Roggen was
in Nebraska all the time. We know a
good thing when we see it, here in Ne
braska, and we have learned to hold
fast to that which is good. We saw
Roggen a good many years ago, and we
have kept him with us ever since. He
is much too good to Bend to Cuba. He
is all right in Omaha.
Silas Adipose Hikombis a gooa man,
and he is doubtless well qualified for
duties of some sort. Bat bis forte is not
the gubernatorial role. Silas Adipose
has had trouble all around him ever
since be settled his ponderous frame in
the executive chair. It has been dem
onstrated to the satisfaction of every
Imdy, possibly excepting Si'as Adipose
himself, that be is a very dismal failure.
No governor of Nebraska was 60 un
fortunate in his appointments. Under
no governor has there been such an ac
cumulation of state institution scandals.
1 he public is tired of reading of the
disgraceful proceedings at the various
institutions, the superintendents of
which were appointed by Governor Hoi
comb. Most of these appointees have
not only 6hown themselves singularly
lacking in ability, but have added im
moral conduct to inefficiency.
Populism has had a fair trial and it has
been made pretty dear that, whatever
may be its merits, it is not adapted to
the purposes of government. In Color
ado populism filled a number of high
offices, to the great scandal of the state.
In Kansas, at one time, the populists
bad possession of ntarly all the import
ant offices, and the records show that
with scarcely an exception populistic
encumbeucy was accompanied by
serious maladministration and scandal.
In Nebraska populist ascendency al
most invariably meant official ineffi
ciency. Governor Holcomb may console him
self with the thought that his troubles
will soon be over.
Major McKinley's strength ae a presi
dential candidate is being put to the
most severe test these days. As the
leading candidate for the republican
nomination he has the closely combined
opposition of all other candidates. Quay
in Pennsylvania, Platte in New York,
Clarkson iu Iowa, Manley in Maine,
and the great practical politicians o
every state in the union, exceptingOhio,
are against McKinley. He is forced to
meet the veiled warfare of the most
cunning, powerful and desperate politi
cal despotism that this country has, per
haps, ever known. As the most promi
nent candidate in these intervening
