Every clection in Omaha for the| past ten years has shown the neces- sity of a new registry law, and the| adoption of eome measure which will | afford nafe-guards against illegal voting at the polis. Our prosont systom of rogistration has Ttis behind more stringent outlived its ueefulness, the requirements of a city of our size, and it affords loop-holes in overy dir- ection, through which frauds cin easi ly be perpetrated upon the ballot box, The registrars, owing to the loose method of their appointment, are for the most part Incompetent, negligent, or dishonest, The methods nsed in making up tho list of qualified voters afford the widest opportunitiea for ve- peating, and for voling the hames of others, It has been siated, and not denied, that nt leant one fourth of ranks, United States Marshal Yoet rallicd bravely with the bread and butter brigade under Audy Johnson and made common cause with the copperhoads, He didn’t teke the trouble to vote for a republican as against a republican, but fought with and supported J.

We need & now law, simple but com- prehensive, and modeled after those which experienco Las proved work best in practice in other cities. In the firat place registration should be made compulsory in all citics of the first and second class. The regiatrars should be taken out of the hands of the governor and these offi- cials elected by thepeople themselves; or, what is perhaps better, appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the council. Under our present system political tricksters recure the appoint- ment of registrars ic useist their facs tions, and the governor, who cannot know, and pertiaps does not care to know, anything abou: the fitness of registrars, becomen a mero tool for the Thuretons and Frank Walters’ of our politica.

FRIDAY THE PIVOTAL STATE. If Ncbraska sends a Washington who is not a repub the next senate wiil ublicans, thir: crats, two readjusters and o mains to be described. The Nebraska legislature has & republican plurality on & joint ballot, but not. s majority, If e democrats and the anti-monop- olists anite their forces they can de- feat the republican candidate. But whatever Nebraska does it will bs seen that the republicans in the senate will not have a majority unless they count in Mahone and Riddleberger. These two gentlemen therefore become rather more prominent int he coun- wels of nation than their abilities alone would make them, It is some. what dcubtfal whether they would voto with the republicans on financial moneures, and therefore it may be that there is nothing between the peo- ple and unsonnd logislation in money matters but the presidentisl veto, Por- haps it is scarcely fair to assumo that the democratic senators would be a unit i thia direotion, but cver since Thurman sacrificed his views to party preseuro the amount of confidence that may be placed in a sound-money dem ocrat Las been swall, The presidential veto ia a good solid stop, however, and may be relied on, Under the circumstances there seem to Le some atrong reasons for treating Meesra. Mahoue and Riddloberger with distinguished consideration. Bat we trust that the circumstances will not prove suftislent to induce the re- publicars to go cui of their way to pleaso theas gentlemen, It has beon demonstrated, we think, that nothing taed in he lovg run by alliances olve, or appear to involye, a sacrifice of principlo. Whenever there has been a greenbaok alliance, or oven a readjuster alliance, the strong probability is that it has weakened tho party at large more than it has strengthened it.—St. Louis Globe- Democrat, There ia no danger whatever that any cardinal principle held by the re- publican pacty will be. sacrificed in the election of a United States sena- tor. Repudialion has no followers in Nebraska, and the anti-monopolists in our legislature ars just as sound on the financial issues as the republicans Whatever the outcomo may be the country will be perfectly safe. The issues that divide Nebraska are not generaily understood. Thoy are the out growth of abuses that have for the time being, if not forever destroy- ed old party lines and srrayed the body of the people on one side and the corporate monopolies with tleir followers on the other side.

Under the ‘Thurman bill all that the Ubnion Pacific railway company has to pay to the goyernment at any time is 25 per cent of the net earnings of the main line from Omaha to Ogden— 1,042 miles —which up to this time has never exceeded $1,200,000 per year, and it has been paid under the fellowing section of the Thurman bill: That there shall be carried to the credit of the said fund, on the firat day of February in esch year, the one-half sexvices heroinbefore named, rendered for tho government by eaid Union Pa. cific Railroad company, not applied in liquidation of interest; and in addi- tion thereto the eaid company shall, on the said day in each year, pay into the treasury to the credit of eaid sink- ing fund the sum of $850,000, or so much thereof as shall be nec- eeeary to make the 5 per contum of the net earnings § its said road payable to the United States under said act of 1862, and the an engine of oppression and tyranny in tho hands of the employes and rotainers of railroads, and political creed was simply a oloak under which political highwaymen in the service of two great railroads carried on their work of subjugation and disfranchisement, Under this despotism the republican party had degenerated into a corpora- tion camp and its candidates were for the most part nominated by conven- registrars unadvisable, The best plan would seem to be a board of regiajgati give his confidence to such patriots to make an example of the federal officors that come under their ban, For our part we say, ‘‘Let the light- ning strike!” Let those whose infa- mies have driven from the party ranks thousands of honest republicans who cradled its infancy and fought to es- tablish its principles do their worst. The threats of impetent cowards and venal vampires who liveand thrive from the drippings of corporotions, and who would sell their soul and body “‘that thrift might follow fawning,” have no terrors for men of honest con victlons, Let the political lightning strike, but if its deadliest stroke is dirocted towards the real traitors and enemies of the party, the old crew which hangs around the Republican concern will furnish corpses whom Gabriel's trumpet can never resurrect. Tue less we hear from the would- be mouthpiece of the republican party about the ‘‘atill hunt of 1876,” the more creditable 1t will seem to those oclated with that concern. There is an unwritten chapter in the political history of Nebraska during that mem- orable struggle for the presidency, which, if published, would cause all good republicaus to hold their nostrils Randall's Bessomer works declared a 69 per cent dividend and the Joliet mills 80 per cent on their investment, when one of those rotuen fellows dares to open his mouth about *‘a still hunt" and party loyalty, In the face of such outrageous profits| By the way, where would the re- ?lu ory against diminished protection | publican party have been if that bar- in the ory of robboers agaiust laws do- | gain to transfer one of the electoral slgued to curtail raids on the public. | votes of Nobraska for $20,000 to Sam S—— Tilden could have been ocarried into Just what might have been expect- | effeot, and what would have been the ©ed. According to the Washington cor- | politioal complexion of the Nobraska r’-pondont of the Cincinnati Commer- cial, Pig Iron Kelly, the chairman of the ways and means committee, says . that it is no use to try to revise the tariff at the coming short on, The report of the commission cannot be digested in the time available for the work outside of the time needed for appropriation bills, In fact, if a tariff bill were ready now, and supported by a majority of the committee, it could not, in his opinion, be passed before March, This is what Tug Bke pre- dicted when the tariff commission bill was pending in congress, The main ‘object of the advocates of the com- mission vas to stave off the revision of the i for two years.

They should register the voters according to wards and voting precinots. This is the method adopted in San Fran- cisco and elsewhere. Such a board, having all the books, could easily make all the necessary transfers, They cculd readily prevent frauds by double registration, where commonly ocourring names are attempted to be registered in two or more places, Another reform which is greatly needed is the closing of the iists at a date not later than two weeks before the election, This would give oppor- tunity for iheir inspection by party managers, with a view to the detec tion of attempted frauds. In every instance the residence of the voter should be appended to his name in the published lists, This is done in every city outside of Nebrasks of which we have any knowledge, where the registry lists are printed in the newapapers. This done, it any person is fraudulently registered the fact can at once be discovered by the people living in the neighborhood.
