Edgerton, Lyman and Oberly cannot mg- terially change its fossilized uselessness. Tue secret session of the senate is a liumbug and a snare. It is » humbug be- cause its proceedings are always made more or less public if it is to the interest of any senator to do so. It is a snare be- cause when removed from public gaze and criticism senators say and do things of national concern which they would de- cline to say and do if the busy reporters were on hand to publish notes of the de- bates and transactions. Senator Van ‘Wyck is right. The seeret session ought to go. It is contrary to the spirit of our government which is founded on the transaction of public business in public by representatives of the people. The sccret session is virtually a star thamber. It makes each senator who partakes of its deliberations responsible only to himself for his conduct and his vote. It removes the transaction of pub- lic business from public gaze. It is un- democratic and contrary to the spirit of the age. THE announcement that Hon. Charles P. Matthewson has absconded and be- come a fugitive from justice will create great surprise and regret; not only in the Elkhorn valley but throughout the state. Mr. Matthewson was one of the most prominentmen in the state and one of the wealthiest citizens of the Elkhorn valley. He had occupied important positions of honor and trust, and was prominently (mentioned among candidates for gov- ernor. Ho had been a very successful business man, and his reputation for in- tegrity from a financial stand- ;{oiul had never Dbeen questioned. e was popular and influential, Nobody dreamed that he was insolvent or that he was engaged in any hazardous entcrprise. The news that he has been ruined by speculation and that others will be ruined by his breach of trust will shock nlike fricnd and foe. Mr. Matthew- son has doubtless fallen by the wayside a8 80 many other rich and respected men have fullen, through the mania for gam- bling. Ivis a sad commentary on the wailing practice of a large number of iness men who are not satistied to let ~ woll enough alone, and who desire to in- ase their wealth without a cerrespond- & increase in labor. em————— Up to the present the United Gas com- pany, otherwise known as the Standard ©il wmonopoly, has treated with contempt pad inditlence the efforts of the council b sompel u reduction in the price of %usv It will now begin to realize that it has trifled with its own interest ns much as it has with that of the publie, if not mor The new gas eompany just organized by a syndi- eate of Omauha capitalists has ample means to duplicate the gas works, snd is detormined to take advantage of the situation. Whatever vested rights the old gas company or the Standard oil snaconda has haa in this city by reason of contracts and charters it has for- foited by reason of refusal to obey . the city ordinances and by repeated ' wiolations of contracts. If the city mow oxcreises its right to vepeal the " franchise, the gas company will be left in ~ & very poor plight. While such a repeal . would sorve it right and entitles the eompany to no sympathy, it is a quostion whether it would be proper to do so at this time, There can be no bLarm, of . course, in grauting right of way to the mew compay under reasonable restrie- . tions, but the experience we have had " with the water gas versus the coal gee " companics, warrants the conclusion that the aunaconda will swallow the mew company or the new company the anaconda. Two gas companios will not operste 1n Omuha for any length of ~ gime. Thero mauy be w» good deal of goughing sud choking while the swallow- process is going on, but the Omuha ~ gompany will huve no trouble in making " Ahe trip. For the citizens of Omaba the 4 y question is, will they get cheaper gas mere promiso of if?” The lust com- promised very cheap gas and it d the rate from $3.00 to $2.50. But metres made up the ditterence and bills are larger,if anything, than thoy ‘were beforo. ‘ Pull Together. hether Omaha is to keep up her pace this year and forge ahead of her commer- cinl competitors depends very much upon the efforts of her business men and cap- italists. We have here most of the con- ditions favorable to making us a great and a growing city. We have the loca- tion, the territory, the population. Onr city has reached a point where her size makes her the competitor of jealous ri- vals. Up to the present time there has been a teudeney on the part of such cen- ters as Kansas City, St. Paul and Minne- apolis to sneer at our pretensions. That time has passed. They are now working with unitod energy to meet the competi tion of Omaha trade. The BEE takes occasion to speak a few plain words to the business men and capitalists of this city. The coming year will be a critical one, in some respects, in our his- tory. Eastern capital sceking western investment will investigate the claims of Omaha as alocation, Those claims will be compared with those of other cities, The condition of our public improve- ments, the financial status of the city, the energy and push with which its mer- chants are reaching out into the territory around us, the spirit of enterprise of her citizenship—all these will be weighed and considered. The time has come when all musy pull together for the interests of the eity. The envies and jealousies of the past must be d. Private enterprises must be en- zod through a spirit of public en- terprise. Our men of business must be willing to spare a little time from their oflices and warchouses, and a few doll from their bank accounts to assist in building up the fortunes of the city in which they live. There has been too much factionalism, too much petty jeal- ousy and too little of that far-sighted wisdom which looks beyond the present to the future, and which sces in the rapid and substantial growth of Omuha the building up of the interests of individual citizens. In the reorganized board of trade,Omaha las u weapon of offense and defeuse which can be made powerful in pushing and in defending her interests. Let the Omaha men of business pull together in in the board of trade. Let them attend the mectings and work for their own in- tercsts by promoting the industrial and and commercial interests of the citv. The spring election is approaching. If the business men of Omaha would make up their minds to take an active part in the contest they could pull together so that whichever party won the interests of the city would be in safe hands. A long pull, a strong pull and a pull all togother is what we need to advance the interests of Omaha as they should be. Such a pull in the encouragement of new enterprises, in the welcoming of strangers, in publishing broadeast the ad- vantages which this city is prepared to offer to capital and labor and talent, would give Omaha such a boom as she has never An carnest, united and business-like effort to sure this city a government of honest and capable men would still further increase the solidity of the foundations wupon which we are steadily building. Dangers of Ocean Travel. ‘The loss of the Cunard steamer Oregon on aclear morning in a calm sea, and within a few miles of port, is an un- pleasant reminder just at the beginning of the season for ocean travel that the skill of naval srchitects and the appli- ances of modern science have not yet removed the dangers incident to crossing the deep. The Oregon was the fastest and most costly vessel of the Cunard fleet. She was supposed to combine all that was newest and best in naval con- struction and yet she fell iguominously before the blow of a three aasted schooner' laden with coal. Fortunate no loss of life resulted. It was eight bours before the vessel sank, and n culm sea and the proach of other boats enabled every p. senger to be transferred safely to the Jand. But no one can help wondering what might have been the case if & high sea had been running, or if the collision had occurred a hundred instead of eigh- teen miles from the nearest land, That a great sacrifice of human life was not added to a costly sacrifice of property, scems to have been due rather to good luck than to good management. The fact that the collision could have taken place is a surprising one. The littlo schooner which sent this huge float- ing wpalace to the bottom was sighted some time before the fatal blow was felt. The night was clear and by the law of the sea a sailing vessel has the right of way when ap- proaching o steamship, Nothing but criminal carelessness on the part of the oflicers can account for the accident. Bug quite as alarming food for reflection as the fact that the Oregon could have been struck at all under the circumstances, is the behavior of the steawer after she was hit. The vessel was of steel and of the most recent build, She was fitted un with 1o less than nine water-tight trans- verse bulklieads. Yet In spite of the theory that the Oregon would float if four of these were flooded she sank in eight hours aftor two were penctrated by the schooner’s bow. Perfection in the eonstruction of the transatlantic steamers and the caveful choice of skilled ofticers to cominund them have been supposed to huve de creased the dangers of ocean travel to the mwinimum. IHow large an element still remains can be seen from the loss ot the Orcgon. It takes no violent strotch of imagination to picture what might have been if this grayhound of the ocean, 50 strong in promiso, s wenk in fultil- ment, with its nine bundred passengers, had encountered the unknown schooner in & storm or gone upon & rock, or met with any one of & score of mishaps which were ore likely than the one wl v oeeurr Give Us Small Fuctories, The first step towards the sotive and practical encouragement of manufactures was made at the lust board of trede moeting, when Mr. Mayne stepped for- ward and offored $1,000 in cash and one acre of grouud to any manufacturing concern that would locate in Omaba, If eyory heavy property owner in Omaha would follow Mr. Mayne's examuple, this city would have a population of 100,000 within three years. It would not be mushroom growih, but a substantial in- crease based an steady wmployment for working men. The next most feasible plan to the ome of individus! do- Dation to uew industrial enter- prise, is the formation of & coLspauy to promot the location of wills and factories by liberal loans and cheap building sites. Such a stock company is now being organized and the promoters should have no difficulty in securing the ry $100,000 subscribed to their stock. Itis hardly necessary to point to the advantages of such a movement. Every intelligent man ought to know that Omaha can never become a great city by simply swapping real estate or by the addition of a few jobbing houscs to its commercial directory. While whole- sale trade is very desirable and neces- sary for every large city, the mechanics and laborers who toil in the work- shops and mills are the hackbone because almost every dollar they earn is redis- tributed among the small trades-people. w more, the average factory em- ploys five times as many hands as the average jobbing house. There are more men employed in the Omaha Smelting works than there are on the pay rolls of two-thirds of the jobbing houses of this city combined. We nced a large number of small fac. tories rather than a small number of large factories. It is the small factory that diversifies and usually expands with the city growth, Give us a large number of small factorics and mills, and Omah: future will be planted on a solid founda- tion that no fi ial panic or single strike can serious! The Verdict. In finding John W. Lauer guilty of manslaughter the jury extended to the prisoner all the reasonable doubts pos- sible in regard to the mysterious killing of his wife. The story of the tragedy as related by Lau was ineredible, and under the conditions described by him impossible. If the killing was not acei- dental it was a crime, and the mildest term for that crime is manslaughter. While there was no evidence to show that Lauer had had a quarrel with his wife previous to the fatal shot, the fact of his previous conduct coupled with the incred- ibility of his own story, left as a rational inference that the shooting was done upon sudden impulse. That conclusion would have justified a verdict of murder in the sccond degree. Had Lauer been tried by a court alone without a jury that would probably have been the verdict of the judge. The verdict, like many others, is a com- promise more or less favorable to the ac- cused, and while the publie will feel that the prisoner richly merited imprison- ment for life there will be general satis- faction that he has not been set at large by the specious pleading of a reasonable doubt. Mg. BELL, the engineer of the pro- posed cable railway, assures the Bre that, all reports to the contrary notwith- standing, work upon the enterprise will be begun as soon as the weather will permit, probably during the carly part of April, and that the road will be operation some time in November, The route will be substantially the same as published in a recent issue of the B 3} NER how reads his title clear.

Tae talk of the town'is the verdict in the Lauer trial. Why It Grows. Mr. Jameson, of Leavenworth, writes in the Standard of that city an account ot a late visit to Kansas City, and reads the peopie ot Leavenworth an interest- ing lesson regarding the causes of the growth of the motropolis of the lower Missouri, It is an instructive lesson, too, and the people of Omaha could very profitably take it to heart.
