Tuxr ward bummers are holding back their influence until the candidates have bought them those promised over- coats. DENVER papers are now engaged in giving news of the Crow outbreak. Some people suspect that it is another Colorowdy uprising.

THE anthracite coal robbers of the Lehigh region in Pennsylvania now state that the strike of the miners will probably soon be at an end. The mine barons have made no concessions. Starvation and cold weather came to their aid, helping them to maintain the most inhuman slavery at present exist- ing on this side of the Atlantic. — THE democratic organ is trying to make a scapegoat out of County Clerk Needham for all the shortcomings of the commissioners. It charges that he has given some of his clerks more pay than the law allows. Suppose this is true, how could those clerks get their pay if the commissioners did not vote the allowance?

Tt is gratifying to obsérve a spirit of harmony ond a disposition to ‘work to- gether among the business communities on the Missouri river in relation to the important matter of defending their in- terests against unjust railroad discrimi- nation favorable to eastern trade cen- ters, The grievances of which these communities complain, and which it is the intention to present to the consider- ation of the inter-state commerce com- mission, are go plain and obvious that it is hardly possible the commission will do otherwiso than direct such remedial action on the part of the railroads as it is within its power to require. The pol- icy of the railroads with regard to Mis- souri river points hashecome rather more glaringly unjust under the inter-state law than it was before, and diserimina- tion, practiced in every possible way, has been carried to a point where it is no longer to be quietly tolerated. The law says that it shall be unlawful for any common carrier to make or give any undue or unreasonable prefercnce or advantage to any particular locality, or to subject any particular locality to any undue or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage in any respect whatever. 1t can be clearly shown that the present practice of the railroads with regard to Missouri river points affects these un- lawful conditions, which it is now pro- posed to aggravate by additional dis- criminations. It is inevitable if the policy pursued by the railroads, with the added disadvantages to Missouri river merchants that are pro- posed, is permitted to stand, the bus ness of every trade center on that river must suffer seriously, while Chicago, St. Louis and other eastern points will bhave the benefit. The ac- tion of the railroads is thus manifestly giving an undue preference and ad- vantage to those points to the prejudice and disadvantage of the business com- munities on the Missouri river. There ought tobe no difficulty in making a strong and convincing case ogainst the railroads, but it is highly essential that it shall have the united support of the communties intercsted in the correction of the diseriminating policy. The disadvantages arefelt byall in very nearly equal degree, and there must bea common and harmonious effort for their removal. This scems to be the general view, and there is favorable promise that the demand from this section for relief from undue and unjust discrimi- nation will be unanimous. ‘Wanted—A Manufacturers' Exchange. Less than two years ago the Kansas City board of trade organized n bureau which is known as the Manufacturers’ exchange. [ts functions are to stimu- late manufacturing industries by pro- curing sites for factories and lending other material assistance to parties de- siring to embark in industrial enter- prises in Kansas City. The exchange employs & sceretary who compiles stat- istical information in regard to advan- tages and resources of their city, which would accrue to the benefit of manufac- turers, and keeps a register of all the lots and lands that can be secured at reasonable figures,and are conveniently located for railway connections. The secretary ° also keeps up corre- spondence with all parties in other cities who are contemplating a reloca~ tion, and if any of them call at his of- fice he is ready ut all timesto show them the locations and give them all the information possible that may in- duce to establish factories in or near Kansas City. The result of this bureau so far is the acquisition of seventy-five manufacturing concerns, small and large, in and around Kansas City, and the permanent employment of over two thousand workingmen. This means an addition to tho population of that city of fully ten thousand, and the assur- ance of a continued increase as the fac- tories are enlarged to meet the demands of a growing business. ‘Why cannot the Omaha board of trade estublish a manufacturers’ exchange? What was practicable in Kan- sas city can baraly fail in Omaha. In many respects Omaha affords bettor facilities for manufacturing enterprises than Kansas City. and our manufactur- ers have a better territory to supply. A prominent Kansas City business man, who is also interested in Omaha, is now in this city, and expresses himself as willing to give the Omaha board of trade the benefit of his observations upon the workings of the Kansas City oxchange and the methods there pur- sued to stim ulate industrial enterprise. rendered? A TEST of the Westinghouse air-brake applied to freight trains was made at Chicago the other day with satisfactory results. These showed that a heavy train, of two tRousand feet, going at a rute of nearly forty miles an hour, could be brought to a standstill within five hundred feet. One experiment showed that a long train could be broken in the middle and both scctions stopped in two seconds. There have been great im- provements in the air-brake siince it was first used nearly twenty yearsago. It then required about eighteen seconds to stop a train which can now be stopped in two. The inventors have done much in bringing railroad traffic to a state of safety and convenience. It now remains for the companies to be more liberal toward the public and toward their em- ployss: —— A MUNICIPAL clection will take place in Baltimore to-day, which will furnish the first test of what has been accomp- lished by the reform campaign so vigo- rously prosecuted there. The promise of success for the republican and inde- pendent democratic tickot is regarded as very favorable, and if the regular democratic ticket should be defeated in the oity there will be very great proba- | bility of the success of the republicans in the state election. The Gorman crowd will not hesitate at any sort or extent of cheating to win, but every possible precaution has been taken to prevent fraud. DBaltimore has rarely if ever known so vigorous and exciting a campaign, and the result of to-duy’s election there will have an interest throughout the country. It is to be hoped it will be in the interest of honest and decent politios. 1t seems to us that the board should not lose this opportunity. Evidence THat Does Not Prove. The demonstrations made by the un- employed laborers of London, said to number twenty-five per cent of the working people of that city, are being referred to by papers of strong protec- tion views as evidence favorable to the system thoy advocate. A Boston con- temporary asks: ‘‘Have we any such percentage of laborers unemployed in the United States under the policy of protoction?” There will be no plea for free trade involved in saying that a fair illustration of the operation of the trade system of England with respect to labor cannot be made by reference to the con- dition of the working people of London, Tt can only be made by referring to the general condition of labor in the coun- try, and inove particularly in the manu- facturing districts, London is not a great manufacturing city, and the great mass “of its working people are mechanics for whom there is em- ployment necessarily during only a | part of the year, and common laborers { who must depend on such casual em- ployment as a great city affords. Thou- | sands of these people flock to London every year, and once in the meshos of the great city they are unable to extri cate themselves. They go there just as people in this and all countries, partic- ularly the unskilled, go to the large cities in the hope of finding better em- ployment and larger reward, only to discover that the supply of labor ex- ceeds the demand. But how is it in the greut industrial districts of Bugland, where skilled labor finds demand? Is there any such percentage of idleness fu those loealities as thereis in London? Evidently not, or we should hear of such complaints from unemployed labor elsewhere as have come from London. It . will - not be - questioned that the . situation of labor ‘in this country at present is more favora- ble than that in England. We have had two years of exceptional prosperity, which has called into service all the labor of the country and generally paid it well. But it must not be forgotten that under protection we have had periods when a vast amount of labor, in- cluding all classes, could not find em- ployment, and when distress was wide- gpread and clamorous. Nor should the fact be lost sight of thateven during the present period of prosperity the number and extent of labor conflicte in this country have been very much greater than in England. Certainly this must be regarded as showing that the work- ingmen of England as a whole are more contented and satisfied than those of the United States. Granting that there is not twenty-five per cent of the laborers of the United States unemployed, and conceding for the sake of argument that this is due to protection, will our contemporary tell us what this system is doing for theo thousands of miners in the anthracite coal regions who are engaged in a bat- tle for the means of a meager subsist- ence which the protected coal barons refuse them, while they exact from the consumers of the whole country an out- rageous price for their product? And what is it doing for tho women and children of the cotton and woolen mills of the east, who have driven men from employment and are working for starva- tion wages? As a matter of fact the prosperous workingmen of this country are not those engaged in the pro- tected industries, but those whose labor has no protection, as carpenters, stone masons, bricklayers, painters and many others. We do not hesitate to say that the average earnings of those employed in the protected industries of the United States are uot greater, taking into ac- count tho difference in the cost of liv- ing, than are received by the people of England in similar industries. Candid people will see that there is no relation whatever between the free trade policy of England and the present condition of the London labor market, and they will not be easily convinced that the high tariff is to be credited with the prosperity of the United States which has given general employment to labor. THE recent decision of Judge Collins in Chicago, giving tho bucket shops a new lease of life, has attracted very general attention as affording a support to these objectionable institutions very likely to start them into general oper- ation again. The Chicago board of trade attempted to drive out the bucket shops by refusing to give them quotations, and was to a large extent successful. There was resistance, however, and a case coming before Judge Collins he de- cided that the board of trade had no right to discriminate against bucket shops by refusing them quotations, holding that the quotations of the board have become nccessary ‘to the conduct of business and therefore it is unsafe to vest in any one individual or company the power to discriminate against any one. The judge evidently had no par- tiality for the bucket shops, which he thought should be suppressed by crim- inal prosecutions, but he was clearly of the opinion that they could not law- fully be put down in the way intended by the board of trade. There is no question regarding the evil these insti- tutions are capable of doing, and both public policy and morality require that they shall have no more toleration than other gambling ifMitutions. The sim- ple and direct way to deal with them is to prohibit them by law as gambling places and prescribe such penalties for carrying themon as are provided for the punishment of other forms of gambling. This should be done by every state in which they exist or can find the op- portunity of exi: THE police commission was created in April and the members were appointed in May. They filed their. bonds with the council more than five months ago. At the end of three months, after a great deal of pressure, the council ap- proved the bonds of two of the. mem- bers. The bonds of the other two mem- bers still remain in the capacious pocket of the judiciary committee, and yet councilmen pretend that they are not trying to hinder the proper organiza- tion of the board. While it is not es- sential to the vitality of the commission that its bonds be approved, the course which the council has pursued in hold- ing back its acceptance of the bonds shows on its face a deliberate attempt to nullify the charter and suppress a co-ordinate branch of the city govern- ment. How much longer does the council propose to hold those bonds? .| THE city of Omaha pays a hundred dollars a month for a sidewalk inspector whose duty it is to see that the or- dinances relating to sidewalks are properly enforced.

The Police Make Another Big Haul of * Speculators.” A clever capture of some nineteen gamblers over the Turf Exchange was planned and effected by Captain Green and a squad of five policemen yesterday afternoon. The gam- blers have been running in full blast in spite of the new law, and have been giving the police the laugh for their continual baffied efforts to suppress tho tiger. This time Cap- tain Green determined to have a ‘‘dead cinch” on them and posted two detectives in the room over the Turf Exchange where the gambling was going on. These two men Were in the room watching the gamblers for over half an hour, aud they say they can furnish testimony enough sgainst every man arrested to conviot him, At the time it became known that the police were at the door, the cards, poker chips money and other appliances were hurriedly lockad up in the safe, and when the polico entered the room there were no signs of the gambling that had just ceased. On tho way to the central police station the gamblers jeered at the officers, but when they reached the sta- tion and learned of the presence of the de- tectives they changed their tune, Below are tho names given at the station by the gam- lers: James Bairns, Jake Muck, George E. Tur- ner, John Eaton, H. Buck, Will Swartz, H. P, Hays, F. T, Jacobs, E. E.' Beck, Tom Bitter- son, Fred Stover, C. E. VauDevere, E, B. Cook, E. A. McIntosh, A. E.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1887, THE NON-PARTISAN TICKET. Judge Doane is Added to tho Ju- dicial Ticket of This Distriot. MAKING A VERY BIG FOUR' The Ticket Ratified Last Night By a Big Meeting—Other Local, County and State Politics. Four Good Men. The meeting of citizens to ratify the non- partisan judicial ticket in the coming elec- tion was held last night, agreeably to call in the Grand opera house. There were about 800 citizens presont some of whom are leaders in both mercantile and professional walks of life. Precisely at 8 o'clock, the gathering was called to order by W. V. Morse, who read tho call published in the Bee, suggesting that Judge Lake act s chairman of the meeting. There was 1o opposition to the suggestion, and Mr. John Wilber, of the Omaha Savings bank, assumed the position of secrotary. As Judge Lake came forward to announce the object of the meeting, he was greeted with long and loud ap- plause. Ho said that the ob- ject of the meeting, s ho understood it was designed in the interest of non-partisan Judges for the district court and to tale suc b steps as might be rendered mnecessary to endorse_for positions on the district bench Judges Wakeley, Groft, Hopewell and Doane, and to do_what might be considered prac- ticable and just to secure their election, Ho supported the judges who had been renomi- nated becauso they were in_every manner fit for tho positions they now held. Judge Wakeley was a veteran in the practice of tho law and in his sorvice on the bench in which the spealker had found him more than_thirty years ago whon 1o becanio acquainted with him. He had been too good a lawyer and 100 good & judge to be retired to private lifo 80 long a8 he retained the ability to serve them. Of Judge Groff, the speaker said ho had say that 'ho had known him for twelve years and before he had_ever as- pired to thé bench, and had always found him an upright and honorable gentleman and would he was sure if again returned to tho bench prove to be a painstaking, honest and upright judge. For those reasons the speaker said he was anxious to do what he could for the furtherance of the objects of themeeting. Mr. Hitcheock said that the meeting had been called by about fifty citizens of Omaha who felt called upon to stato that the time had come to raise a new issue in the politics of tho district. They were called upon in November to ciect judges of the district court, judges to preside over cases involving life, property and liberty. Realizing the impera tive necessity of selecting men who stood above reproach, who were learned in the Mw and unprejudiced in any caso which might come before them, the bar long ago recognized the necessity of aiding or recommending to the different parties the advisability of electing judges regardless of party tics. Some time ago, there was a_large meeting of the bar held. It was, perhaps, the largest and most representative assemblage of lawyers which the district had probably ever witnessed. Upon the mention of Judge Wakeley’s name, that meeting broke forth in tumultuous ap- plause. When that judge said that he would not enter a political strife for the purpose of securing & nomination, the bar well knew what that old judge meant. The petty salary which he receives, it is well known is no in- ducement to himto seek to retain the po- it It would not recompense for his ser- o8 did he not find tho labors of the po- |Iution exacting and laborious, congenial to him. The name of Judge Groff wasreceived with scarcely less demonstrations of approval, and the same was true also of Judge Hopewell's when his was brought before the convention, The speaker then told of the endorsement of those ludgcs by the bar, the treatment the same had received from the democratic and republican convention, how it was received and acted upon by the ono and condemued by the other, In referring to the managcment of the latter, the speaker said it fell under one of the worst horde of political bummers which had ever disgraced a republican con- vention. A horde of ward politicians had knocked at its doors for oftice, and while he had nothing to say against the personal in- tegrity of any of the men, yet compuared with tho other men, they wereé unable and un- worthy to sit on the bench. The speaker continued at_some length and then intro- duced the following: RESOLUTIONS. ‘We, the citizens of the Third judicial dis- trict assembled, without regard to party, for the purpose of expressing our views in refer- ence to the approaching election of judges in said district, do declare and resolve: First, That we believe that the judicial of- ficers of & state should, as far as possible, be free from partisan bias, untrammeled by party obligations, undefiled by the wrangles and contamination of bitter partisan warfare, .and_selected solely with reference to their qualifications for impartial and just decisions of questions involving the lives, liberty and property of their fellow citizens. . Second, That we believe that the selection of judges made by the bar of this district, and nccepted by one of its political conven® tions, was intended to be non-partisan in its character, and was designed to remove the bench, by all practicable means, from the strife and slanders of a hotly contested polit- ical campaign. Third, That we hereby declare our high confidence in the learning, integrity, impar- tiality and ability of the gentlemen so se- lected, and cordially commend the district judicial ticket on which their names appear to the suffrages of all voters in tho district who desire the muintenance of a pure and in- dopendent )Fdiciuy Fourth, That a committec of five persons be appointed by the chair, whose duty it shall be to prepare an address to the electors set- ting l‘;n the reasons for our independent support of the individuals so selected and the considerations which have induced us to take this action. Fifth, That the chair alsoappoint an execu- tive committee of five to circulate addresses, print tickets and take all necessary steps to enable electors to exercise their right of vot- ing for the men of their choice. Mr. Hitohcock moved the adoption of the resolutions. ,J\u.lxu George F. Brown seconded the mo- tiol n. 4 Mr. Ambrose in supporting tho resoltions said that he had been a lawyer for twenty vears and was also @ republican. He had had something to do with the calling of the bar convention. That convention adopted recommendatiou which had been ignored by the party of which he was & member. ~ But the speaker had said beforo the bar that as 0 long s he had a vote, he_would not con- sent to the departure of Eleazer Wakeley from the bench. He had said more before that bar meeting and it was that a lawyer who was not willing to submit his_claims" to the bar who knew him was not worthy of the place, V&S, Montgomery then read the following correspondence which contains & request from the gentleman mentioned and the an- swer to it by Judge Wakeley : ‘CORESPONDENCE.

Very respectfully, . WAKELEY. Judge Savage said that Judge Hopewell had been called away by his judicial duties in Sarpy, but that before going he had said that ho would be willing to allow his name to be used by his friends. Mr. . Rosewater was called for and said that his opinion as to the action tho meeting proposed to take was well known and he did not think he could in any way add to the esteom and respect in_which the judicial candidates on the non-partisan ticket by the people who knew them, It was not the first time thero had been division in the party in the selection of judges. Ho hoped it would not be the last time, either. He hoped that in tho mat- ter of the judiciary that contests could be di- vested of all partisan bins and personal feel- ing, and that people would vote for the men only who were worthy of their suffrage.
