LEw WarLace says there will bo a big European war next summer, and that “they are all eager for it.” The pro- diction of Gen Wallace no doubt arises from the fact that he is interested in the Patrick torpedo, for which a war in Eu- | rope would very likely cre dewand. Tie most ernel joke of the season is the Herald's charge that Gen. O'Brien of- fered Capt. Sullivan $100 bribe. The general's reputation for giving away hun- dred-dollar bills for the benefit of his im- | prisoned clients is above snspicion. The general was never known to have lost his grip in that extravagant manner.

The movement has como none too soon. The experienco of the last congress proved conclusively that in their pre form the rules under which the house proceeds in the dispateh of business are a hindranco rather than an aid to the work of congre When congross adjourned there were on the union calendar 197 bills, on the house cal endar 156, on the private calendar & and on the speaker’s table no less than 1 bills that had been passed by the sen ate. This mass of unfinished business represented the work of a score of com mittees and of the senate for an entire session, It was lubor thtown away. The long list of bills, many of the highest na tional importance, failed to roach tho ear ot the honse because Mr Randall was able to block the way | with his appropriation bitls and becaus the rules of the house outsido of Mr. R dall's power would have prevented the greater part of them from reaching a Disgust at this enormons waste of a feeling that no one man shonld have the power to obstruct all Jegislution at will, has caused the present movement for revising the rules of pro- cedure, Under the present system, the vote. | will of the ehairman of the committes of appropr iles the legislation of the country. ( tion of a supply il has preference over all other matters and Mr. Randall and his friends have used this power without limit in order to cut off the eonsideration or passage of ons « nside | measures to which they were unfricndly This is the reason why the proposition to take nearly all the appropriation from the committee on ways and means v distribute them among the various committees has muu such . There i3 a gencral feel what Mr. Randall and st con complished by any other isan who is given an equal opportun T'he object of the constitution in all appropriation measures originate in the house was to secure free discussion and the assent of the direct representatives of the people upon all measures involving taxation. Under the house rules the entire work of originat- the supply billsis given over to a singlo committee. It would seem that thework could be more satisfactorily done by & reference of the military appropria- tion bill to the military committee, the naval bill to the naval committee and the others in the same manner to the com mittees who have 1 eharge the considera- tion of the subjects to which they have reference. The entirely mon-partisan character of the revolt agsinst the tyran- 1ceal supremacy of the committee on ap. propriations through its chairman evidences the deep fecling that a change is necessary if the business intercsts of the country are to receive any considera tion at the hands of congress. dws ing that Was Marshal Cammings Bribed? For many months desperate efforts have Deen made in various quarters (o secure the dismissal of Marshal Cammings. All these eflorts have failed so far because they wero regarded as purely political. The marshal was doing his duty as far as the mayor and conneil would permit him Without any previous training m the line of police duty Murshal Cummings dis- played & great deal more nerve and tact than any marshal we have had for The only break that looked like weakening on 't was the removal of Maurice Sullivan from the captainey of pol Sullivan was & man of experience in police mat- ors, and had made an eflicient captain. 1se him o the faco of the howl raised by the law-defying clement of the saloon-ke 5 looked very mach li survender, But even Capt. Sullivan was forced to admit that Marshal Cummir simply carried out the mandate of a nma- | jority of the eouncil, which had sustained | suys the him as against the attempt of Mayor Boyd to displace him by a democratio marshal, Until now no suspicion of dis- lonesty attached to the marshal, and the large mass of law-abiding ecitizens, re- gardless of purty, bhave confldence in his official integrity. And now cov which h democ the Omaha Herald-— I taken the contraot to foist a wic marshal upon the city at any and presents a sensational charge, which, if true, would justify the prompt dismissal of Marshal Cummings. The only witness which the Zerald cites to prove its chargo of bribo-taking is Cap ain livan, for whose re moval from the aptainey of police, that paper shod croc- odile tears while it was notoriously in full sympathy with Sullivan's removal. We will give the Herald the benelit of the sto- ry, and jow it cordially in a demand for asearching investigation. Marshal Cum wings should domand it on his own bo half, even though, as will be se by the interviews published elsowhere, the wholo story is absurd om its very fuce. The alleged bribory of the marshal occurred about a your wgo, during Mayor Murphy's term. The order for the release of Travis—whose attorney, Gon. O'Brien, is said to have paid the bribe—was actually made by Judge Beneke, on the ground that the erime chargod a L Travis was commiticd in Counci and no requisition from the governor of lowa was presented. The mare's nest which the Zlerald has struck will prove & boomerang to its originators. But even if the story woero teus the report publishod by the ierald places its chicf witness in @ very unenviable position, According to the Zerald Captain S ullivan flrst declined to unbosom himself, but tinally allowed the reporter to puwmp him dry in the following fashion: “DId the warshal get any money for releas- ing Travis? asked the reporier, "1 don’t know whether bs did or uot,” re- plied Capt.

Buteven if he had been so reck- less as to aceept a bribe and had offored to share ft with Sullivan the circumstan- ces related by Sollivan would be as dis creditable to him as to the arshal He confesses himself to have been an ae- complice. Gen, O'Brien comes to him with an offer ot a bribe. He virtually de- clines the temptin offer, but advises O'Brien to make his terms with Cum mings. This is nothing more nor less than conniving at bribery. As a man of lonor and a sworn officer, it was the duty of Sullivan to arrest O'Brien for offering him a bribe. It was as much a erime then to offer a bribe to a city official as it was to accept it Gen. O'Brien luid him- self as linble to arrest as f he had struck Sullivan with aclnb or had attempted to pick a man's pocket in the presence of Sullivan. But instead of arresting him, Sullivan prosented by the Herald ws Kindly volunteering to send O'Brien to his superior. In due time Cummings offers Sullivan a portion of the “swag," and Sul- livan virtuously declines again and keeps his mouth closed. Was it not his manifest duty to immediately re- port this case to the mayor so that a faithless and dishonest marshal could be removed and punished? What o pitifal attitude Sullivan is now placed in by the partics who seck to make use of him in the desperate effort to get vid of the mar- shal. For our part we discard all politics and personal feeling in matters of this grave character. While we do not ap- prove the motive which inspires the Herald in its warfare upon Marshal Cam- mings, we insist that the charges of bri- lery against him be fully investigated without fear or favor. L y o The Industrial and Business Ontlook. According to late reports from the eading industrial conters the outlook for the laboring classes is very favorable There is a t deal less complaint about the non-employment of labor and low wages. In quite a number of in- stances small advances have been made, which to say the least is an encouraging sature of the situation. The probabili- s favorable in many industrics in al states for a further advance in amount of work will probably be placed in January. Rail- 1 companies, manufactarers, builders and investors generally are now engaged on estimates and plans for the construe- tion of industrlal, railway and other en- terprises upon & lurge seale. The eountry will feei the benefit of it early in Jan- uary, and labor will probubly find general cmployment, with a corresponding im- provement in wages. Thete are two or three rensons why labor will advanee, Philadeiphia Record, which s made 8 areful survey of the situation, particularly so far as the east is concerned. One reason is the strength of labor combinations; an- other is the relative secarcity ef wood- workers; unother i the great volume of onpital 5 of manufacourers and consumers goner- to ourry larger stocks, thus stimu- lating productive enpavity. minor reasons might be added, al ing in the same direction. hus also advanced, Iron flemer in price.

Tiie editor of the Omaha Herald is what the Gentiles of Utah call a juok Mormon. The Salt Lake Tribune says that it is bo- lieved that he wants a pluce on the Utah commission, and that he is trying to have the editor of the Salt Lakoe Democrat made governor of Utsh. The 7ribune enters a strong protest against Dr Mil- ler's attempted interference in Utah aftuirs us follows: 1t Dr. Miller is not @ baptized Mormon he oughitto be, For nfteen years he has been Justifying and excusing every meanness per- petrated by Mormons, and & letter frowm any renegade Moriwon has always been bet- ter wuthority with him than the afii- davits of & dezen first-class Gentiles would have been.

Phineas Pease, wp- pointed by the United States eirenit court On Oct. 17 last complaint was made to Judge Baxter, of that eourt, that the re ceiver was making unjust diseriminations in the matter of freight rates of oil. Mr George Rice, an independent. shipp from the oil distriet adjoining the south- ern part of the roud, had asked the re- ceiver to tell lnm whether or not he could et the rates enjoyed by the Macksburg Pipe line, which I as a purt of the Standard Oil comp linery. vecoeiv sponse was regarded by Baxter as evasive and improper, Gen. Pease was required to explain., The receiver then admitied Jhat whilc Rice and all other independent shipper: were required to pay 85 eents a barrel for rtation on the road, the rate fixed Macksburg Pipe Line was only 10 cents a barrel. Judge Baxter therc- upon issued an order for the submission ot a full report of diseriminating rates and direeted the receiver to carry oil for _all shippers at one and the same” rate. The report submitted said to have been so evasive and unsatisfactory that the court was led to make further investigation When Gen. Pease appeared before Judge Baxter to answer the complaint that had been filed, he ‘rrmlru ed and sub- mitted as a of his defense a letter of advice written Mareh 2, 188 Edward S.
