Donsky Chalrman, Tae triangular fight over the district attorneyship in this distrlct is a tempest in a tea-pot. No attorney yet men- tioned for the place on the republican side will have a walk-away as against Parke Godwi Turre appears to be a general feeling against having a banker placed on the ticket as a candidate for state treasurer. 1t is well based.—Denver Opinion. ‘What ir the difference between having a banker for a state treasurer, or a state treasurer who is the bondman of a bank? Tue fall trade will soon begin and the business men on Farnam street who have lost so much this season by the barricade of that thoroughfare have a right to ex- pect all obstructions in the shape of loose paving material will be promptly re- moved as soon as the paving is finished. The street railway company is still lag- glng behind with its part of of the work. It seems to us that there is no excuse for this tardiness. The board of public works should iusist that tho street rail- ‘way company should employ enough men to complete the paving within the tracks during the next ten days. It is high The ROTATION The next step of the civil service re- be a movement to create his recent ad- IN OFFICE. "| formers will life tenure in office. dress before the National civil service re- form league, Mr, George William Curtis strongly urged the repeal of the law which limits a federal commission to four yoars, that the tenure of office should be during good behavior, and that the operations of the act should be extended to all appointees. At present every public officer who receives a com- mission from the president, with the ex- ception alone of foreign consuls and reve: nue collectors, holds his office for a term of four years from the date of his com- In mission, If the suggestion of Mr. Curtis should be carried out it would make all government employees and appointive officors a life- holding class, their retention in office be- ing dependent alone upon good behavior, This would certainly be proceeding to an oxtreme that would not be relished by the people. It would be creating a grand army of well-bohaved civil pensioners. Every man now in office would remain in service for life if capable of filling his po- sition, and dlscreet enough to maintain good conduct. From the day that such a “reform” goes into effect che in- centive for political activity cease. Civil service would no longer hold out to any one any inducement or hope, except through resignations, deaths and removals for incompetency and dis- honesty. Such a system might work well enough if this government was a great railroad corporation, in which the stockholders were simply co-operating for the purpose of earning dividends, But this a government of the peopie and by the people. It isa government in which all are enabled to participate, and being maintained at the jpublic expense it is supposed to offer to every deserving person a reasonable opportunity to sharo in its benofits. The popular vote of the country is very even- ly divided between the democratic and republican parties, and it is but reasona- ble that upon a division upon some vital issue the governing power may be trans- ferred from one to the other. Should the suggestion of Mr. Curtis be carried out while the republicans are in power, the conse- quence would be that every federal offi- cer and employe now holding a position would continue in their places until death, unless they resigned or were re- moved for cause. Now, there are certain positions in this government that will necessarily deter- time the principal thoroughfare of Oma- | mine the manner and method of ‘execut- ha should be made passiblo at every [ing certain policies.

In spite of all the unfavorable conditions of this quarter the Waring system has beén such a complete success that it will soon be extended all over the city of Paris, It may interest some persons in Omaha to know that even In Paris the pipes are no larger than those used in Omaha, and during the five months that the system has been in operation in Parls no com- plaints have been made against its effi- ciency. Tue Iowa republican state convention will meet at Des Moines on the 20th of this month, and the Nebraska republi- cans will hold their state convention at Omaha on the 27th. It will be the duty of these conventions to place in nomina- tion presidential electors, and they should be very careful not to selest anyman who holds a federal or state office, as such a person, under the constitution is not eligible to the position of elector. 1t is proposed in Nebraska to nominate as one of the electors a natlonal banker, and this at once raises the question whether the officer of a national bank can hold the position of presidential vlector. We are not positive on this point, but we are inclined to theopinion that the rela- tions gustained by the national banks to the government make its officers quasi national officers, In his address before the National “ivil Service Reform league, delivered at the annual meeting held at Newport plishment of the great reforms that were brought about since that time by the re- publicans had the proposed civil service reform been in vogue prior to Lincoln’s accession? Would any sane person trust an important enterprise in the hands of any enemy? Suppose that to-morrow a radical change should take place in the head of our government, by an overwhel- ming popular majority? Would it not be proper that the policy decreed by the electors, with regard 'to vital issues and measures, should be carried out? Would it not bo contrary to the principles of our government that the chosen representa- tives of the majority should be blocked from the outset in every attempt to bring about reforms by public officials known to be opposed to such measures? There certainly must be a limit to ten- ure of oflice, and that limit should not be regarded as an ‘injustice to the office holder. There should be no monoply in office-holding in this country. It is true that in the army and navy the officers are retained during good behavior, but our naval and military ofticers are educated and trained at tho expense of thegovern- mont, and the government is entitled to their services. But to put the entire civil service on the same plane with the army and navy would work aninjustice, and croato a caste of office-holders, which can only be countenanced in a mon- archy, It would be eminently proper that men in the highest stations should be strictly accountable and subject to certajn regulations as to their compo- last woek, George William Ourtis paid the following high compliment to Pres- ident Arthur: ¢“‘President Arthur came to' his great ce with no prepossessions for reform oix?".he civil wrlv’iul: But his honorable treatment of the new policy is one of his chief titles to public regard. Under the forms of law he could readily heve baffled its operation and de- feated its purpose, But his candor -and good lnh.g socured the fair trial of the new system within the prescribed limits, the conspicuous and honor- able fact that during his term and with his friendly co-operation the radical re- forms by law of Knmomtrom abuses of the American system of appointments and removals in the civil service began, will be the chief historic distinction of his u'-nqull and conservative administra- Arthuy is like & boquet of choloe flow- public service efficient and faithful pub. officials during good behavior, endorse llc t Anlufr'lar re-elec| tiont convention to express his proval of his uil and conservativ administration! ap- 1t seems to us that the civil service reform, which is confined to tency. Mon in high offices should be required to give proof of thelr qualifica- tions just as well as their subordinates. This is as far as we can safely go in the direction of eivil service reform, Unless we are prepared to establish an office-holdiug bureaucracy, we cannot af- ford to Introduce the old world system of life-tenure, Yot this what Mr. Curtis really advooates, and we are surprised a man who has de- voted so much time to the study of this subject, should have made euch a serlous mistake, The Ber has always been an advocate | ¢raflic on enlarged mileage, and in the of genuine civil service reform, but at the same time it holds that there can be no of the public of the government, ¢ | vice that will not exaot of a man because he does not belong to a party faction, We are opposed to the | perpetual office holder, and believe in rotation in office at fied periods of reasonable length. GOVERNOR DAW. AND THE SCHOOL LAND FRAUDS. The Omaha Bre must be hard up for subjects of discussion, when it deliberate- ly charges the complicity of Governor Dawes in the Keithcountyland steals. In the firstfplace, there werejno steals thero, In the second place, the governor did not know of them, In the third place, he could not know of them. Inthe fourth place ho could not have prevented them if he had known of them. §Tue Ber will be a source of strength to those whom it attacks if it doeen’t show more discretion, —Crete Qlobe (home organ ) This is a weaker defense than Gen. Horatio King has made for Grover Cleve- land in the Buffalo scandal. It is plead- ing the baby act where a man charged with the most sacred responsibility has utterly failed to dlscharge it. Is Gov- ornor Dawes willing to stand before the peuple of Nebraska as a know-nothing whose executive intellect is too feeble to enable him to know a fraud when he sees it and is a party to it? In the first place the land commissioner admits that an attempt was made to perpetrate a fraud in the sale of Keith county school lands by the firat appraisers who purpose- ly withheld the lists, In the next place the board of public lands, of which Goy- ernor Dawes is a member,has by its action last week acknowledged that the charges of fraud published in the Brr were sub- stantially true. They have cancelled the order of sale and ordered County Clerk Bleasdale to return all the leases by ex- press, We cannot do better than repro- duce the editorial that appeared in the North Platte Zelegraph Iast Thursday concerning the frauds: The state board have weakened. If, as they say, they have complied with the law, why not make a fight and vindicate themselves? In the faco of serious charges, backed by a suit in_court, they throw up the sponge, thus admitting the truth of the charges. In the above article Kendall and the attorney gen- eral aro quoted as saying that the law does ot require them to give notice in regard to leasing land, The fact is that the law does not give them authority to lease sny school land until they have been properly appraised and offered for sale after due notice. Sec. 7, chap. 74, laws of '83, provides that whero school lands have been appraised, the commis- sioner of public lands siArL offer them for sale after due notice. The board de- rives their authority for leasing from sec. 17 of same chapter, as fol- lows: “When any of the lands provided for have been offered for sale and nov sold for want of bidders, the said board may lease the same on the following conditions:” been no pretense of complying with these platn provisions of the law in regard to these Keith county landa. Mr. Kendall says that these lands have boen leased to sixty-eight persons, Including several residents in Keith county. We will venture the assertion that everv one of these applications were in one hand- writing, and wereo all filed at the one time in the canmissioner’s office, and that there were no competing bid. Let us see, out of all the residents of Keith Now there has county, who were desirous of se- curing a portion of these lands who succeeded: H. C. Bleas- dale recelved several sections as his share for assisting in the conspiracy, the county treasurer five sections, the editor of the Oglllul Reflector four sections, and the balance was taken by Dorn and his friends, Some idea of the extent of the fraud on the state can be formed from the fact that a large portion of the land can be leased for a greater annual rent than the sum they have been appraised at. This is not the firat fraud that has been per- potrated on the school fund through the agency of Glenn Kondall, New Governor Dawes is just as repon- sible, as Glenn Kendall or, if anything, more responsible,for the school land frauds. As chief magistrate of this com- monwealth it is his sworn duty to exe- cute the laws and exercise supervision over all the departments of the state gov- ernment, It is clearly his duty to pre- vent all schemes of fraud and jobbery that may be attempted by any state ofli- cor or subordinate. He should be intolligent enough to see a fraud when itis carried on under his very nose. Governor Dawes is not only the chief exccutive but also a member of the board of public lands and buildings. No illegal contracts could be entered into by the board without his approval, because even if the wmajority of the board should conspire together and outvote him ho” has the power, as governor, to put a veto on their action by an executive order, It is plain and palpable that Mr. Dawes is eithor too imbecilo to discharge his duty intelligently or he is a party to the frauds which Glenn Kendall and the landsharks at Lincoln have perpetrated in the traflic in school lands, Tue Bek is not un. sponsibilit, N P y. charitable enough to charge the governor with eriminal complicity in these frauds, but we do say that he is a very unsafe man to be in & position of such great re- Tuk railroad systom of this country is not alone in finding the past year one of diminishing traflic and profits, English, French, and German railroads show for the opening months of 1884 decreasing case of Australia this amodnts to nearly 4 percent.

Kansas City Journal August 10th, Hon, John B, Alley, of Boston, the millionaire shoe manufacturer, ex-con- gressman and partner of ex-Senator Stephen W. Dorsey and Robert G. Inger- soll in the ranch and cattle business in New Mexico, arrived in the city on Fri- day night en route to the southwest and in apending a day or two in the city. He took rooms at the Coates house, where he was called upon yesterday by a Jour- nal reporter, and interviewed upon the political situation. Mr. Alley is a staunch republican and in conversation he said: *“We are going to carry Massachusetts this fall for Blaine and Logan; of that 1 do not think there can be any qaestion. Their majority will run anywhere from 20,000 to 30,000.” “‘What will the independent amount to,"” ““Very little, I think, although it is now a totally unknown quantity. The independents are very nice men and ex- ce!lent citizens, and we are sorry to lose them; but if they must go we cannot help vote “How will Butler figure in the cam- paign?” When I left Boston, two weeks ago, he had not decided whether he would run as the third party candidate or not, but I see by the newspapers that he has decid- ed to doso. He will poll a large vote and draw very heavily from Cleveland. He will not hurt the fepublicans to any great extent, Mr, Butler and I are inti- mate friends, and I have had many talks with him since his return from the Chi- cago convention. What he said to me is of course confidential.” “Does he want to be governor again?”’ “No, he does not desire that, neither does he want to return to congress, nor yet does ho look for a cabinet position.” *‘And yet he is an ambitious man!” “Decidedly 80.” ““Then the only thing left is the presi- dency?” “Yes."” “Does he hope for that outside of the democratic party?” “No, he does not. The only point is, does he see a chance for it inside the democratic party? Gen. Butler is now 66 yoars of age, and will be 70 when the next presidential campaign arrives. He would then be almost too old, although I know old men never consider themselves too decrepit to hold office. He does not like Cleveland, and from what he has said I do not see how he can consistently and decently support him. I do kuow that Butler is a power in Maesachusetts politics. The laboring men believe in him, and do pretty much as he tells them, and think he cares only for their welfare. Whether they are right or not is another thing, but he tells them they are.” “But why do you hope to get their votes for Blaine?"” *‘The laboring classes believe firmly in a protective tariff, and will vote the re- publican ticket because the party's plat- form advocates it. I do not think they understand the tariff question. They have simply been told that free trade would lower wages.” “Suppose the question was thoroughly debated in Massachusetts so that every voter should come to understand the tariff question?” I think that then a tariff for revenue only with whatever protection might be incidental thereto- would prove a very popular ery in that ‘state. As a matter of fact there is hardly a manufacturing industry in the country whickneeds pro- tection, and there are many to which the high tarift now existing is a positive det- riment. Take the business of manufac- turing shoes. There was a time, years ago, when it needed protection, but that time is long since past, and you can take off the entire tariff if you please and we can stand competition with all the world, In fact, if you will also take oft the tariff on raw maserial, we can sell in any mar- kets in the world.” “And not have to reduce your wages?” “Notacent. I believe in the old democratic doctrine of ‘tariff for revenue only with incidental protection,’ the policy undor which the United States achioved its groatest prosperity.” “‘But Mr. Blaine says that it was un- der high tarift that the greatest prosper- ity was achieved?” “I can vote for Blaine and ye%t not swollow all the statements in his letter. 1 am like Gien. Butler, He says he is a theoretical free trader, but he does not believe that he can persuade the labor- ing classes that ho is right. 1 do not think that the tariff issue ought to cut any great figuro this year for tho demo- crats are not proposing any violens reduc tions in the present tariff, while therepub- licans aro simply fighting to keep itasitis, very vain attempt, by the way, because the people will not kag stand tle business blunder of keeping $200,000,000 surplus in the treasury and taxing them todoit. Idonot think it will be long before the country, by united assent, comes back to a tarift for rayenne only, and in the meantime, as I said before, the tariff issue should not lightly cat much figure. But it undoubtedly will in Maesa- chusetts, and, as [ going to carry that state for Blaine and Logan.” Mr. Alley will remain in the city until Monday morning, when he will leave for his ranch near Springer, N, M., where he will be joined In a couple of weeks by Colonel Ingersoll, who is at present so- Heo was quite s jowrning in Oregon. o —— Hard to Believe, 1t is hard to believe that a man was cured of Kidney disease after his body was swollen as big as a barrel and he had been given up as Incurable and lay ab death’s door.

The intention of the above dispatch is to convey the impression that there was a fight [against Mr. Clarkson and that his popularity was proven by a majority of 100 votes. which is uterally false. There was no opposition ticket to Mr, C. in the field whatever, The fact is Mr. Clarkson is a very unpopular man here, and if there had been an organized opposition he could not secure the delegates of his own county, MMK of his friends admit that Mr, Clarkson has no chance of the nomi- natlon, but ask the delegates of his own county as an act of common courtesy. A REPUBLICAN. Ho W a Oashier, “Here you!” howled a bank cashier, going tnto the Cincinnati Star editorial rooms, “what do you mean by putting my picture in your paper?”’ “No harm at all, sir,” meekly re- sponded the editor. “We are merely publishing the portraits of men holding prominent positions in business or the professions and put yours in with the others,” ““Well, gir, I don’t like it, and Iam not going to have it.” “I am sorry that you do not like it; we certainly meant all right.” “Oh, you did, did you? Well, why didn’t you do it? That picture of me, sir, looks exactly like a thief.” “‘Well, ain’t you a bank cashier?” stammered the editor, in an innocent way. Somehow after that the cashier hadn's anything to say, and the editor's back- bone stuck right up over the top of his collar, —— Polnts for Pardons. San Frandisco Argonaut.

One old and grizzled *‘tough” stood apart and added nothing to the clamor. The governor called him up. “What are you in for?” “Stealing."” “Well, were you guilty?” ““Yes, it's the way I make my llving.” The governor went back to his office and pardoned the man., When remon- strated with, his only excuse was: “Well, I was afraid the thief would contaminate those other fellows.” o —— arming In Utah.
