It | is well known that Mr. ree property interc vd, is strietly temperate, and inevery respect a good citizen, ACCORDING to our esteemed and able contemporary, the New York Commercial Advertiser, “the management of a great railroad, 1 the Union 1 c or the New York Central, offers far greater scope for an honest ambition than almost any other carcer.” Possibly so. But past agements of the Union Pacific will ar out the theory. Honest mn- s crowded out by dishonest job- and stockholdnrs and patrons suf- in consequence. A railroad mana- with honest ambition would be a dime museum curiosity. At the risk of repe suid before, the Bei makes the assertion that eyery factory and mill started in Omaha lays a brick in the solid founda- tion upon which this ity will build its future prosperity. Omaha in 1890 ought to have at least 100,000 inhabitants. 1t has room for them within its pi t cor- porate limits, not to speak of various ad- ditions which are occasionally being placed on the market. Industrial enter- prises form a substantial basis for mu- nicipal growth We want and we must haye more factories ing what it has A supscriBEr in Barneston, Gage county, writes us to inquire what has been done by the Nebraska delegation in reference to the Otoe and DMissouri In- dian reservation lands. The matter has received the attention of both Senator Van Wyck and Mr. Weave Senator Van Wyck introduced a bill in the senate on March 20, (8. 1918) extending the time | of payment for the lands purchased and aver some days later introduced a bill to the same effect in the house, (H. 7087). But measures are before the jate committees and every effort de to secure for them a n suspense as Th approaches, On that day Mr. ( stone will move his measure providing for the future government of Ireland. The vote which 18 to be taken on the motion will decide whether the present ministry is to fall, or whether Mr. Glad stone is to be permitted to crown magnificent political career by the great- est triumph of life. The result is still very doubtful. Much is thought to de- pend on the speech in which the great orator will introduce his home rule bill to the commons. The moment of the commencement of the measure which is to commit an English party to justice to lreland will be one of historic interest. It is likely to draw forth the most silver toned strains of Mr. Gladstone’s speech and the most carnest of those stately periods with hich he has so often thrilled a listening parlia- ment. The liberal party is disorganized, but it has been drawn back into line many times before by Wm. E. Glad- stone’s masterly appeals to sober com- mon sense and English love of justice. Itis also by no means certain that the premier’s plan may be so modified as to attract support 1n quarters where opposi- tion in advance is due to ignorance of the roal nature of the plan to be pro- posed. Mr. Gladstone is a practical poli- ticiun and may be depended upon to tack in an unfavorable breeze if by so doing nding. re groatly soan- ous enterprise of Becretary Whitney who has been secking British information and skill in making up his collection of plans for the new eruisers, It is stated that Sir Nathaniel Barnaby, ex-chief constructor of the British navy, White, the present chief constructor, and Sir Witllam Armstrong, the gun maker, have all been furnishing designs for our new oruisers. Mr. White writes to the London News that the American government bought some de- signs of Armstrong, “‘unlike any in the British navy,” but that Barnaby “‘took no part in drawing up the designs’’ Barnaby himself, however, writes to the London News: *'I consider that the fact that 1 am pensioned does not debur me from designing for foreign countries if 1 thereby obtain work for British builders. As to the alleged facts the marquis of Ripon, first lord of the admiralty, has the right to question ni Seoretary Whit ney denies that ish oflicers ure financially interested in the new eruiser Our navy department iws evident been working quietly to sccure the best jdeas upon naval construction from the best authorities on the subject. ‘This is not saying that any of the British plans are being adopted for our cruisers, but there is no doubt that any valuable for- -gign suggestions have not been over Jooked.

County Government. A number of the heaviest tax-payers of Richardson county have petitioned Judge | Broady, of the district court, for an in- | junction restraining the county commis sioners from levyingan insanc 000, and such further relief from the extravagance of the board as the court conld grant. The petition presents zen rascality that would fit the case of scores of counties outside of Richardson he commissioners are “alaw unto themselves I'here is no restraint or limit to their power in dis- posing of the people’s money.

Though voted out of office in 1883 by a majority of 1,500, they conspired and successfuily defeated adoption of the supervisor system, and by a species of frand and trickery man by appealing to the courts, to hang on to the offices and draw their salaries regu wly. The’estimate of expenses made by the board for the present yes mounted to §119,600. The sum included 22,000 to pay the insanc tax. The amount due the state is only 14,000, which can be paidin yearly installments, yet the commission- ers, without excuse or warrant, iner d the burden of taxpayers $8,000. This item the court promptly enjoined. Two thousand dollars was also set le to re pair the roof of the courthouse at Falls Cit, The board seriously deelared that the shingles wore rotten and a new roof was necessary to save the building from ruin. An examination proved that the only repairs needed could be done with ¢ fraction of the estimated cost. The injur- ies to the roof consisted of u few shingles broken with bird shot fired at pigeons, but these pinholes were conveniently magnified and enlurged to justify the ap- propriation of $2,000. In addition to the two items mentioned, the petitioners char, s drawn by the commissioners, amounti 0 each in 1885, are excessive, and more than they a le 1y entitied to. They are further charged with squander- ing $2,000 on “repairs’ in the county juil, with permitting immorality in the county poor house, and with paying three prices for coflins for the pauper dead; with overriding the protests of res- idents of small towns against granting liquor licenses, and with paying lawyers out of the county funds to defend the commissioner system in the courts. The petitioners asked that the board be en- oting as such until the su- preme court decide upon the legality of the eloction abolishing the commissioner system. The court declared that the condition of county affairs was disagr able and disgraceful, and a red the pe titioners that the question submitted would receive his earnest attention to the end that all possible relief should be granted. Hitchcock and Bechel. The most contemptible. and small- souled thing in the present city campaign is the personal warfare waged by young Hitcheock against Mr. Bechel. Two years ago Hitcheock was a candidate for the council. In the Fourth ward yepub- lican cancus he was warmly supported bv the editor of this paper ns against Jechel. But when he was beaten we yielded to the majority and did wha could to elect Mr. Bechel. Last y when Hitchcock was a candidate at-la; : supported him as did Mr. Beche) himself. s defeat was due entirely tc his own stinginess. He refused to con tribute a dime to the citizens' committee although he was on ticket and was seratehed to death, politically speak ing. Since he ventured into the new: paper field he has taken it upon himself to choke Bechel through calumny and misrepresentation. Under the pretense that he w fighting a “job’ in the city hall location he kept up a constant fusi lade sgainst Mr. Bechel, who certainly represented his ward in working for the location of the city hall on the most cligi- ble site for that bwlding. The appro of the ward was expressed most emphat- ically last fall when ninety-nine out of very hundred voters of the ward rati- fied the location at the polls. The talk of a job was all in young Hitchcock’s mind, and he knew it well us anybody. He knew it so well that he privately roquested Mr. Boyd not to veto the ordinance, while he pub- licly pretended to oppose it. What is more to the point, he has as much inter- in the city hall as any property owner in the ward, and if to-day there was any serious scheme to change the location he would raise a bigger howl against it than he has raised aguinst Bechel. The fact is that young Hitcheock isone of those pub- ic spirited people who are willing to sacrifice thewr wife’s relations on the altar of their bleeding coun- try. For iostance, when Farnam strect property owners were raising a fund to pay the damages for the last change of grade which more than doubled the value of Hitehcock’s property he de- clined to sign $1, while other property owners paid all the way from $100 to $1,000 each and raised a total of $7,630. This is the kind of a man who wants to defeat Mr. Bochel because he isn't active and enterprising enough to suit his ideas.

The Third ward has a chance to re- deem itself in clecting Mr. Burmester to replace Pat Ford in the city couneil. Mr. Burmester is one of the oldest residents of Nebraska, a loyal veteran of the war, and a hard-working mechanic. The ward has been long enough represented by set of blatherskites and roustabouts. Ford's only qualification is that he is bulldozer who was picked up by the democratic hosses to do their dirty work in primaries. Iis own ward repudiated himonly n fow months ago as a candi- date for sherifl, and he was snowed under city by the most overwhelming over given in Omaha. If the ward will now sit down on him as it ought to he will give us a rest torever. Mr. Burmester is an honest, capable, respeetable and respected citizen who will do gond work for the interests of his constituents, and will represent the ward and the city with credit to himself and the community. As we suggested would be the case some wecks ago, when General Croc ansfer was proposed by his friends, the crities of that distinguished offfeer arce ing that his relief from Arizona and assignment to Omaha is a confession of failurce in Ins work in the southwest.
