The Bill Tweeds of Omaha become dan- gorous only when they pattern after the Bill Tweeds of Now York, Chicago and St. Louis. The great bulwarx against jobbery and fraud is an honest, intellivent city coun- cil. While the charter has hedged the taxpayer by various safe-guards, the only roal safe-guard is in faithful and ruptible agents. We cannot always in- voke the power of the courts to prevent jobbery and reckless disregard of private and public rights, We cannot invoke the protection of the courte, when the council,in exercise ofits legitimate power, employs dishonest and incompetent in- spectors, We cannot be vigilant enough to detect and prevent collusion between councilmen, contractors and jobbers, Only six weeks remain before the term of one-half of the council e Who will be their successors! Are we again to allow the slums and dives to foist upon our citizens men whom they cannot re- spect and would not trust—men whose only object is to sell out to the higheat bidder on every important measure, It strikes us that the time is at hand when the people who have an interest in the permanent welfara of Omaha must make an active and organized effort to redeem this city from misrule and jobbery, The first requisite in this re- form is that the best business men shall sacrifice their comfort for the public good by serving as councilmen. Once let the standard of the council be raised to respectability and reliability and we shall have no trouble in inducing the best citizens to accept such positions, In this our working people are just as much interested as the men of Watar has become of John Pope Hod- nett and his great railroad scheme! We haven't heard much of John lately. S Since there has been so much water in Cincinnati the democrats have abandoned the idea of holding their national conven- tion in that city. incor- Omana has reached that high state of morals which recognizes slugging and prize-fighting as unobjectionable features of social entertatnment. Tue board of education lacks back] bone, otherwise it would see to it that every dealer in Omaha pays y.aLinto the achool fund. Tue ‘‘electric light of journalism’' still glimmers in the shadow of Sidney Dillon, notwithstanding the assurance of Fred Nye that it is thereflex of independence. Tae Wyoming legislature was taken bodily to Salt Lake and wined and dined by the people of that city, regardless of age, sex, or previous condition of servi- tude. Tuey say that if Philadelphia elects a democratic mayor to-day. the contest for the presidency is virtually decided in favor of the demonracy. We imagine it has not come to that pass, however. It is merely the buncombe of political bull- dozers. Ir they can organize a chamber of com- morce in Tacoma, Washington territory, they can organize one in Bellevue, Ne- * braska. The first thing that the great|wealth. They have their littlo Tacoma chamber of commerce did was to [homes and pay more than their memorialize congress against the forfeit- | proportion of the taxes.

Semte— FRANK JauEs has turned up in North Alabama in good health, and he ausures the authorities in that section that he will get as clear of the Mussel Shoals in- dictment as he has of the eleven other indictments for murder and robbery. Frank has nover been in the Nebraska cowboy district, where the vigilantes hold court. have an interest in building up this city and giving steady employment at fair wages to laboring raen. . It is as much a blow at honest labor to put jobbers and thieves in the city council who bleed con- tractors and thus compel them to cut down wages and do poor work, as it is a blow to large property holders® (iive us honest city governm®ht and we can re- duce taxea and rents, This is not a question of party but a matter of self- preservation.

The New York Z%mes, which believes the commis- sioner systom the only means of solving every problem that bafiles ourlegislators, says: ‘‘The question of the employment of convicts is a very important one, It not only involves the economical in- toreats of the state, but the well- being of the prisoners. Itshould be con- idered wath reference to the objects of penal administration and the rosults aimed atin the systematic em- ployment of prisoners. An eftort should be made to ascertain what is best for the discipline of the prisons and for the re. formatory objects of industry within their walls. It is right to give full weight to the question of interference with free labor, but nothing should be conceded to what proves on examination to be blind and unreasoning clamor, The object of an inquiry by a commission is to obtain a calm and considerato statemont, based on facts and sound reasoning, of the act- ual requirements of the case, and to pre- vent ill-considered mction under any kind of pressure,” The obvious object of the commissioner, scheme is not to obtain facts and statis- tics for the purpose of calm and consid- erate action, but it is simply a device to stave off immediate action on a question which is pressing upon the legislature, All the statistics which the commiasion- ers can procure on the question of con- vict labor are already witnin the reach of the New Yerk legislature, They know a3 much now about the number, sex, em- ployment and average time of convicts as any commissioners can find out, They know the effect of the contract system with convict labor upon the ffeo labor , which would raise the price of | which is compelled to compete with it. cot and every piece of woulen | The question of convict labor reform which the farmers and laboring | must be dealt with by the legislature of the country are compelled to buy. | sooner or later, and they are as compe- . the Nebraska farmers who|tent to deal with it now as they ever will be.

Chicago has already rawsed $14,- 000, and the money is still pouring in, The Palmer house, the Grand Pacific ‘hotel, and the street railway compayjes have each subscribed $1,000.

Barney Caulfield, ex-member of congress from Chicago, now living in the Black Hills country, Dakota, is ove of the delegates from that territory to Washing- ton to secure the opening of the great Sioux Indian reservation. He said the other day that he thought this was the most feasible thiog to be dune this session of congress, He thinks there is little prospect that a bill will pass to divido the territory, and no likelihood at all that the territory, or any part of it, will be admutted into the union during the pre- sent congress. He has no faith that his fellow democrats in _congress will waive their political prejudices and pags these mensures. He is in favor of both, but waives them for the only thing that, in his opinion, can be accomplished. He thinks a bill preparatory to the admission of allor part of the territory might be passed, but there are obstacles in the way of the passge of eoven this measure, Several bills on this subject are now pending in the two committees on terri- tories—one providing for preliminary measures for the formation of a state government for the entire territory, another for the organization of a state government for a portion of the territory, and another for division and the organi- zation of two state governments. KEach measnre has its advocates, who are warm- ly fighting all other measures. The Bis- marck interests, which are strongly re- presented here, are working for the admission of the whole territory, and have advocated the bill before both committees of congress providing for a constitutional convention to be held next i fall.
