Tt is a question, however, whether his bar'l is large enough to defeat Connell in the primaries next Friday. MR.

There was a very suggestive debate inthe United States senate the other day over the resolution instructing the nmittee on inter-state commerce to make a full inve: tion into the rela- tions of the Can n railroads with the transportation ncross the continent of commerce which naturally belongs to the United States. Tt served to br out certain truths which it is of some importance the people should know and remomber, and which being known and remembered, will not elevate the senate in the popular respect and confidence. The resolution, which was adoptod without a division, was warmly supported by members of both parties, and although introduced b, can and not intended or partisan in its character less gave an opportunity controversy, the leaders Senator Gorman, of Maryland, and Sen ator Edmunds. The Moryland, senator charged that Levi P, Morton, the publican eandidate for vice president, and Congressman Wm. L. Scott, mem- ber of the democratic national conit- te 1d one of the most valued politic managers for the administration, are directors of the Canadian Pacitic, dw ling particularly upon the impropriety of the former having anything to do with this British enterprise. This pro- voked Mr. Edmundstoreply that Senator Gorn is himself a railroad director, which was admitted by the Maryland senator, who retaliated by intimating that Edmunds was by no means free from railroad connections, n statement the Vermont senator would attempt to deny only to the extent of saying that he had never been a railvoad director. It was perhaps well for the credit of the senate that the personal debate was confined to these two membs other- wise the country might have been given a chapter of erimination and recrimina- tion that would have left out few of the members of the upper branch of con- gress. It is unfortunately true that the senate has long heen the bulwark of th railvoad cc porations, and if it isany less so now than at any period of the past the fact is due to the improving influence of the popular reprobation of its course. It is undoubtedly true that at thistime there are not move than a score of sen- ators who arve free from the influence of the raile corporations, the others being constantly concerned for the intorests of such corporations either as attorneys or by reason of financial in- ments in them. It is but natural that the railroads should scek and pay liberally for the legal wisdom of Judge Edmunds, and perhaps equally natural that a Maryland corporation should put Mr. Gorman in a position where his political influence would be an advantage to it. The difficulty is that such men when they make an alliance with the corporations are thereafter blinded to their duty to the people when the public welfare and the interests of the corporationsantago- nize. No reform is more urgent than that which will purge the senate of the rail- road influence, amounting almost to an absolute domination, which has been exerted there for years, and this reform will have to be effected before the sovereignity of the people over the cor- porations shall be complete. Perhaps the most practicable way to it would be the election of senators dircetly by the people. ige vepubli- regarded as it neverthe- for partisan 3 which wer B Looking southward. Certain vepublican papers profess to believe that there is a chance of one or two southern states being carried for the republican candidates in November, and they urge that the party managers shall put forth vigorous efforts in Vir- ginia, North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee especially. There isno fault to be found with this advice if it can be followed without 1mpairing the effort that must be made to carry states where there is greater chance of republican success—that is, the doubtful states of the vorth. It would certainly be a great political conquest to res- cue even one southern state from the grip of the democracy. A breach in the solid south would be a consumation worth all the effort it might cost. But unless there is some stronger reason than now appears for believing it could be accomplished this year, it will be wise for the republican man- agers not to draw away any of vhe force needed in the doubtful states of the north for operations in the south. Possibly they may have an ample force for both purvoses, in which case they would certainly not be justified in neg- lecting every opportunity to urge re- publican policy and principles upon the southern people, at least in those states where such urging is likely to do the most good. It is certainly a promising sign when republicans are invited to explain the principles of their party to southern audiences, and it is reassuring to learn of the organization of republican clubs in portions of the south, which seem im- bued with a vigorous purpose to gi republicanism a fair hearing in their localities. It is entively proper and wise to give all expedient encourage- ment to these evidences of a reviving and growing republican sentiment in the south. But the republican party cannot afford to waste any energy this year, and unless it shall have more than will be required in the doubt- ful states of the north its efforts in the south must be conducted on a limited scale. We have very little faith in the possibility of breaking the solid south this year, but if Harrison and Morton shall be elected and the next house of representatives shall be republican—as some democrats predict it will be—the end of demoeratic domi- nation over all the southern states will not be remote. For uattaining the first of these results the policy of the republican managers will be to do noth- ing that will weaken or impair the efforts of the party in the doubtful states. ——— A New Issue Threatened. Dispatehes from Washington report a democratic congressman as having said that the campaign will not be fought out on the tariff issue alone. Hé declares that it is the intention of the president to proclaim commercial non-intercourse with Canada, ts he was authorized to do by the last congress, ghould the senate refuse to ratify the fishories tréaty. This, it 18 argued, would pavalyze business along n large part of our north border and would also stir up a war feeling in both coun- tries, as & consequonce of all which the country would be expected to demand a continuance in power of the administra- tion. There are certain conditions only und; which the president would be justified in proclaiming non-intercourse, these being wholly dependent upon the conduct of Canada. If the government of that country should renew the out- rages upon American fishermen which gave warrant for the action of congress authorizing non-intercourse, it would become the plain duty of the exceutive to comply with the direction of con- are His failure to do so would con- demn him move strongly than he is now condemned in popular opinion as the friend of British interests. But he has no authority to proceed until provoea= tion is presented, and while there is some reason to an- this, should the proposed treaty fail, there is stronger reason for believing that Canada will quick to force n state of affairs 1 would be vastly move dan to her interests than to ouvs. Itis ridiculous to talk about non-intercourse paralyzing the business on our northern border, and havdly less so to assume that any serions w e feeling would be aroused. Nobod 0 foolish as to expect n ehallenge to war from Canada, and this count being quite able to stand an indefinite extension of the pol- iey of non-intercourse. there is no rea- son why we should undertake the com- ively ensy task of whipping Can- ada into an aceeptance of our demands. It was reported some time agoon dem- ocratic authority that the president would proclaim non-intercourse ii the fisheries t v failed, and it then rogarded as simply a thrust intended to intimidate the nate, It had no ef- fect, and is not 1 to have any now, whether truly representing the presi- dent or merely the invention of some one of his followers, Asan issue in the presi- dentinl campaign non-intercourse with Canada would he move hikely to operate inst Mr. Cleveland than in his favor nee if there probability of any thing serious coming out of it the peo- ple would prefer to trust the interests of the government to an administration not likely to be so considerate of British interests as tfie one in powe was WE have it from semi-official sou that the railroad boys, which means the 0il room boys, and pohitical henchmen who are on the deadhead pass listas railroad employes, have fixed upon the Honorable Spy Russell for lieutenant governor. With a man like Russell presiding over the senate, and a skilled bill manipulator as secretary of the sen- ate, legislation obnoxious to the rail- road Dosses and jobbers' lobby would have a very slim chance of passing unmutilated. In all ousness we would like to know whether the railvoad managers veally imagine that they can throttle public sentiment by foisting men of the Rus- sell stripe upon the state in responsible positions. Have they not been taught by the experience of the pastthat itis impolitic to eram offensive men and mensures down the throats of the peo- ple? For less than two thousand dollars the city can build a garbage erematory with necessary buildings which will consume fifty cubic yards of garbage daily. A furnace of this capacity will be large enough to dispose of the city’s refuse for some time to come. If neces- sary, however, two such crematories can be built, one at the north and one at the soath side of the city, which will amply accommodate Omaha for at least the next five years. It isa question, there- fore, for the council to decide whether it were not better to at cnce spend four or five thousand dollacs for such crema- tories and settie the garbage question once for all. As a matter of expense, it is certainly more economical to erect a permanent crematory than to build and repair garbage boats every year. As a matter of health and cleanliness, the superiority of burning the city's sewage is universally admitted.” The question is no longer an experiment but a necessity. All the lavge cities of the country and many smaller ones are adopting the cremation process. Let the council therefore appoint a com- mittee to investigate the different sys- tems of cremation, and adopt that method which is the most satisfactory. — The Plan of Campaign. Lincoin Call, July 6, The developments of the past week have in part unmasked the railroad plans in the com- ing state convention, It will be in parta campaign on the same tactics as those pur- sued by the roads in the fight against Judge Maxwell a year ago. The people of the state know what plan that was. So do the people of Lincoln, Every man of a judicial turn that the roads could smear with taffy was in- duced to be a candidate. The plan was to create a dozen candidates, whom they hoped would command votes enough to defeat Max- well, then they were masked behind Dill- worth to stampede to him. The feat would have been accomplished if the peovle had not been aroused to the danger in time to prevent it. This is the plan now being pursued against Leese. Wherever the seduc- tive whisers of the roads can get some aspir- ing lawyer to listen, they point the ease with which the attorney general's office can be secured. 1f in this way they can, among others, secure a man to become a candidate who Is not identified as a railroad lawyer, so much the better. It is an inroad at which they rejoice greatly. In any event they get just as many candidates going as possible and promise them all the office. It is anything under the heavens to beat Leese, It will be remembered that Lancaster county played a very important part in the convention a year ago, and routed the raiiroad tools who sought the defeat of Judge Maxwell. It required a fight to do it. The same crowd, beaten then, are at work now to defeat Leese. The republicans of Lincoln should not be afraid to fight now. A year ago, the morning of the convention, there was some lively rust- ling in the camp of the railroad crowd. The back oftice in a particular bank was head- quarters. The B. & M. attorneys and the B. & M. official organ sent messengers out among the collecting delegates working them. Walt Seeley was one of the mwessengers. Mr. Ben- el is a candidate for auditor, flitted back and forth 1o this rendezvous like a moth round a candle. He landed pluryg in this caucus that went into the conye and was defeated in the o .||||n|lvu|umt te of 0 18 history In two or three ot} thu & men, who heid this cuiéug a ye the people, ure now Heing groomed by enemy of the pmquq?tfy this city to head the ward delegations to be sent to the county convention.

This Year It Is More Prolific Than It BEver Was Before, DEALINGSIN THELIGHT AND DARK A Double-Headed Oancus Held Last Night in the Third—The Eighth Meets Again But Report- ers Are Excluded. The Polilical Field. County politics are waxing exceedingly warm. Inevery ward caucuses are being held on the quict, and candidates are moving about actively fixing up thoir fonces. The professional politician hos by some inexpli- cable means donned a new campalgn suit, and for a very, very short time, it is certain that he will have money to spend. Men who make a business of agreeing to deliver so many votes are about the streets singing at dollars a song. One of these paid talkers said yesterday that he had 1t straight that “Webster would carry the Eighth ward. 1f he doesn’t he might aswell hang up. Butthe strangest thing I hu heard is the tie-up between Connell, Vandervoort and Yost. You know that once upon a time when Connell was prosecuting attorney, he oficiaily signed pa- pers which reflected dire: ainst the ofticial conduct of both Yost and Vander- voort, Now the latter is to bea Seventh ward delegate on a Counell tic A reputabie politician said y ““the outcome of the convention w depend upon the question whether each ward is to have its proportion of representa- tion iu the state and congressional con tions, and whether each ward is to name t delegates instend c ving them all named by the candidats appons to be favored with a majority of ‘the delegates in tion.

The candidates for the legislature are more numerous this year than ever before, They comprise a number of men who have before figured on the floor of the house. Some of these are tired of private life and are anxious to again appear inpublic. Others have made records, both good and bad, which they want the people to approve. ‘Chis is especially the case of several members of the last house. James Young, of tho Union Puciic shops, familiarly known as “Jimmy," is one of the members of '86 and '87, who' seeks vindica- ton. Though he is "not joined by his vet- eran colleague, Davy Knox, Davy is re- ported as having s that his nomination two years ago was the mistake of his life, but he has not put himself on record with l‘c- spect to what he considered his seryie: Lincoln. He has, at all eveats, declined m stand for renomination, John Matthiesen, who served the people in the last house, and whose votes were always on the right side of eve: is being d by his friends to accept renomination, is understood would not be averse to ng. Speaking on Mr. Matthicson's candidacy well-known citizen remarked ‘“‘that he would find some opposition, because of his being employed in the Union Pacific shops. The wmkm&m‘oplo have been treated so badly by the Union Pacific men in the legislature that they have made up their minds to have nothing more to do with men from that place. Mr. Matthiesen islone of the few exceptions to this rule, but,” sald the speaker, ‘‘he would lose lomellullg because of his accidental con- nection." The most noticeable feature in connection with the legislative candidates is the aspira- tion of Omahba councilmen. If half of them who desire to go w Lincoln be successful, it will be found necessary likely to transfer the meetings of the council to the capital city, Mr. Ford has long had a de- sire (to appear in legislative halls other than those of the city and in this in- stance his desire is as great as when he ran forsher Pat wants to down the police commission. He wants to down Scavey. He wants to relegate tbe police to the con- trol of the council. He could then find places for some of his henchmen, who, since the advent of the commission, have been very patient Micawbers. Mike Lee is also said to have a desire to go to Lincoln. Michael also has o few unpleasant pictures of the commission hauging on memory’s wall. Those he could obliterate by obliter- ating the commission. Some of Mike's friends say he doesu't want to go to the legislature and that the other report ema- nutes from his enemies. But Michacl is quiet on the subject. Mr. Bechel says his frienas want him to bea candidate for the legislature also, and the same thing of Councilman Low- ut popular feeling seems (o indicate t one office is about as much any indi- vidual ought to hold at a given time. Henry Estabrook, who has had nothing to do with politics since he was defeated by Estelle some years ago, wants also to go to the house, He wants to vote for a certain senatorial aspirant. W. A. Keiley says he hias been urged to run n the same direction, and doesn't know what he will do, but seems to think that being already a member of the board of education would in no way injure his chance of success. Willam and Morris Morrison are now running mates. They are almost inseparable. It is natural that they should both desire to serve the peo vle in Lincoln. That seems to be Morrison’s ambition ut present, although it is claimed he intends soon to go to Florida. Besides these patriots there is a host of lesser lights whose names are unknown to fame aud probably will always 8o remam. Councilman Hascall wants to become state senator, and has a lingering love for the valty. He, too, has a sinster eye on the commission, and his aun, as also that of his confreres in the council above referred 10, 15 to knock the body out of existence. His work iu this resp would be negatived by that of Frank Kasper, who has also been mentioned in connection with the senate. George M. O'Brien, one of the younger members of the bar, oo, aspires for sena- torial honors and has been spurred to it more by o young man's ambition than by any axe which he has to grind. Ralph Breckenridge is another Fourth warder who has tired of seeking the county attorneyship, and looks to the senate, as does also J. T, Clarke who seems to have inherited the desire for ofice, which distinguishes his father. T. C. iruner wants to cast a senatorial vote for Mander- son and has been going about s nomination in his usual bustling Sl LAST NIGHT'S CAUOUSES. Two Factions Hold Opposition Meet- ings in the Third.
