THERE may be o dearth of candi- dates anxious to step into the board of education. But the selection of five good men to fill the bill is not an easy task. SoME of the self seekers for the board of education hover under the delusion that a scarcity of ‘‘gray matter” is a qualification for the position. The voters will veto their ambition. THE reward of fifty thousand dollars for Tascott dead or alive has been ex- tended sixty days longer. But even that sum does not tempt the mysterious Tascott to come out of his hole. THE two Dakotas report that their crop prospects are beyond the fondest expectations of the people, that is to say, the cropof candidates springing up out of the ground to fill the new state offices. MINISTER RYAN, who represents the United States at Mexico, has pledged himself not to touch a drop of Mexico’s national drink. He evidently remem- bers hotv pulque ended several of his illustrious predecessors. THE farmers in the valley of the Nio- brara should have some of the spirit of the early pioneersinfused in them. To be foolishly frightened by the false re- ports of an Indian outbreak at this late ‘day does not speak well for their met- tle. ‘WILL the county commissioners trans- fer the title to the old county poor house 80 that it is likely to remain on its present location for years and be- come an eye-sore to a fashionableneigh- borhood in the face of the protest of the , poor farm property owners? EVEN at this late day Omaha may well take a lesson from Denver. The people of that city are almost unani- mously opposed to wooden bloek, and in the work of public improvements about to be inaugurated in Denver not a yard of wooden pavement is to be laid. —_— THE republican committee has re- jected the proposition of the democratic committee to pool issues on board of education nominees, by which we were to have the choice of a unanimously nomjnated, non-partisan, party ticket. Bo the two machines have clashed, locked horns, and propose to fight it out mext Monday by proceeding in the usual way. Ir THE Missouri Pacific will come forward with some tangible proposition for the construction of az Omaha aad ‘Yankton branch our citizens will give it fair and favorable consideration. It is immat rial to them who builds the road, providing that it will give us the needed facilities and carry its trafic to Omaha instead of diverting it to other channels. THE decision of the board of public ‘works to deny permits for more than two tracks on a street, and that such tracks shall occupy the center, will commend itself to the people. There is .no justification for giving a monopoly of the streets to corporations. The peo- ple have some rights which are entitled to respect, and one is the right to use a tion of the street without endanger- ng life and limb on a wilderness of tracks. We do not want a repetition of + Twentieth street. ‘WE ARE reminded by one of our political contemporavies that THE BER has pursued political methods and used litical weapons in fighting campaigns eretofore, and its advocacy of the non- _partisan movement for the elsction of “#ehool officers is pronounced the veriest pot. THE Berdocs not contend that po- Aitical methods are to be discarded in the choice of publie officials whose funcsions are purely political. On the contrary, we believe that political or- ganization is essential when political battles are to be fought and won. But e contend that the functions of school “Boards are in no sense political,and the best interest of our schools is to re- wmove the school boards out of the arena ' of politics. Thisis why we do not be- Jieve in proceeding in the usual way to ~ drag our best men through the cesspool fl politics. The experiment so fur docs . @0t commend itself to the friends ol - sducation. MEDDLESOME PHILANTHROPISTS. The officers of the National Indian Defense association are again interfer- ing with the negotiations of the govern- ment with the Sioux Indians. These parties wore largely instrumental in de- feating the negotiations last year, and they have now taken action which may result in seriously embarrassing the work of the Sioux commission. A year ago they told the Indians that the agreement proposed by the government was not liberal nor just, and they ciaim that it was upon their advice that many of the Indians declined to accept the government’s proposition. Their ob- jection to the new proposition is that iv does not distinctly provide that the government shall pay the amount due the Sioux under the treaty of 1868 for schools, and their philanthropic interest in the Indians, leads them to fear that the government intends to avoid its al- leged obligations and malke the Indians pay them out of the money they receive for their lands. These meddlesome persons called on Secretary Noble recently and asked for a construction of the seven- teenth section of the agreement to be presented to the Indians, stating their apprehension regarding the purpose of the government. ‘The result was not to their satisfaction. They were told by the secretary that it they controlled the action of the Indians, the Sioux commission should have been created to treat with them instead of with the Indians. The government had selected honorable men as commissioners, it in- tended to deal justly with the Indians, and, said the secretary, I refuse to ac- knowledge your right to interfere in this business in any manner unfriendly to the intended action of the United States.” Subsequently the president of the association addressed a letter to the chiefs and head men of the Sioux nation, stating the objection of the as- sociation to the agreement to be pre- sented to the Indians, and warning them not to accept any statement made by-the commissioners regarding the payment by the government of money due for schools unless such statement should have the support of a paper from the president saying the government would pay the money. Thus the Indians are counseled todi trust the commission as to & very im- portant feature of the proposed agree- ment, and if the counsel is heeded the effect may be seriously embarrassing to the work of the commission. The pro: pect for a favorable result to the negoti- ations has been regarded as excellent, butitisto be apprehended that this unwarrantable interference may change the favorable situation of affairs and greatly retard, if it shall not defeat, the asceptance of the agreement. It is not easy to be patient with people who thus, without any adequate reason, throw themselves in the way of great public interests and cast distrust upon the gov- ernment and its representatives, or to use such moderation in characterizing their impudent assumption and inex- cusable meddiing as propriety requires. Their pretended philanthropic interest in the Indians is not in the spirit of a true philanthropy, but is merely the expression of a morbid sentimentality, from which the Indians have experi- enced far more harm than good. This mock philanthropy has . for years stood in the way of a practical, common-sense policy in dealing with the Indians, but for which the Indian problem would have presented far fewer difficulties than it has done, and been solved long ago with a vast saving to the government and great advantage to the Indians. It is time there was an end to interference of this sort with the just and fair efforts of the government to advance both the public interests and the welfare of the Indians, and the attitude of Secretary Noble towara the meddlesome self-styled philanthropists will be very generally approved. CORRUPT POLITICAL METHODS. This subject is discussed in the June Forum by Senator George F. Edmunds. It is a subject of general interest, pos- sessing great importance in its bearing upon our political system, and its con- sideration must always be timely. -It has recently received a good deal of at- tention as one of the matters suggested in the review of a century of constitu- tional government, and the contribu- tion to its consideration by so emi- nent a statesman as Senator Ed- munds can not be but instructive, interesting and valuable. The treat- ment of this subject by the senator is conspicuously free from any parusan coloring. He considers it as a citizen who fully realizes the evils and dangers of corrupt politieal methods, and the urgent necessity there is for providing aremedy. He frankly admits the prae- tice of corrupt methods by the political parties, charging no more to one than to the other, but while the fact is an unpleasant one he does not share the hopelessness of the pessimists who see nothing but discouragement in the out- look, but on the contrary evinces a pa- triotic faith in the ability of the pecple to remedy the evil, Referring to the generally well-known methods of politi- cal corruption, he remarks that ‘‘how- ever depressing these things are to those who believe in a government really of the people and for the people, they are only the endless repetitions of history, and they should not produce discouragement, but should rouse the great body of citizens, to whatever party they may belong, to a more earnest study of the causes that le ad to such eyents, and more earnest and per- sistent efforts to eradicate them.” The intensity of party feeling which tempts citizens to resort to practices that they would consider dishonorable and criminal as betwean man and man in order to overthrow the party enemy and to win what they consider to be a desirable party success, and the exist- ence of a class that is not embarrassed with the possession of any particular principles and looks to what is tobe made for itself, are the principal causes of corrupt political methods. *'The mer- cenary greed of office, the eorruption of the electors, and the falsification of returns are very closely allied. The first is very likely to produce the others.” But Senator Edmunds sees in the progress that has been made in the improvement of the civil service fair ground for the hope that before many yeoars the great body. of civil employ- ments in the government, as well as of the states as of the nation, will cease to be the spoil for which parties con- tend.” With this reformation there will naturally come a very great dimi- nution of that sort of political activity which s 1nspir by expected per- sonal profit for the political workers as such, and by so much the to the bribery of voters and the falsifi- cation of returns will be diminished. Senator Edmunds has no doubt that the corruption of the franchise can be much more largely repressed than it is at present by improvements in the sys- tem of registration and voting, by re=~ quiring that fair and intelligent repre- sentatives of the contending parties shall be employed in every step of the registration, return and canvass of the votes, and by making more complote provision for the punishment of bribery, attempts to bribe, and conspiracies to effect briber But besidesall this thero 18 need of a better education of the citi- zen in his patriotic duty as a voter—an education that will make him feel that in all "his relations as a citizen he is personally a real factor for good or ill in the great sum of the general welfave, and that ‘*his mission for himself and his children is to foliow the light that his knowledge and his conscience perceive, and not that of any other man.” THE PARK COMMISSION'S POWERS. The park commission has very prop- erly defined the limitations and powers which it may exercise under the present law. The conclusion reached by the commission as regards the exer- cise of police powers is sound, and in accord with the spirit and letter of the charter. The authority to provide police sur- veillance over the parks is vested with the mayorand police commission. The authority to submit propositions to issue bonds for the purchase of lands to be converted into parks and boulevards is vested exclusively in the mayor and council. Wiile the park commission undoubt- edly is expectad to devise and project a system of parks and boulevardsthey can only recommend their plan to the mayor and council, who are at liberty to ratify or reject the recommendation. They hold the pul trings of the city and are expected to exercise due dili- gence and foresight in the purchase of new pleasure-grounds. The purk commission has also inter- preted the law as barring it from ex- pending any of the inoney derived from the special levy for park purposes for the purchase of park grounds. Thos taxes are imposed only for the purpose of placing at the disposal of the com- mission a fund for the maintenance and improvement of existing parks. With thesc well-defined limitations it is manifest that the park commission can only be expected to improve and beautify the parks we atready have and at best may lay out preliminary plans for the future park system of Omaha. Whatever steps are to be taken for the acquisition of new grounds must be taken by the council. It is not likely that the council will undertake the submission of any proposal looking to the purchase of park grounds until after the park commission” has made recommendations embodying the establishment of a chain of parks and boulevards TiE vecent permanent shutting down of two of California’s largest woolen mills is likely to seriously affect the woolen industry of that state. Various reasons are given for the failure of this business. It is cluimed that the market for the sale of California blankets and flannels is too limited. Although Cali- fornia ‘woolens have won a world-wide reputation for quality and durability, their consumption is practically limited to the country west of the Rocky moun- tains. A California mill tinds it dif- ficult to compete with the eastern mills, and it can not at all meet the competi- tion of the English and the Germans in the European or Asiatic markets, The closing of these mills, moreover, is likely to entail embarrassment to the wool growers of California. One tenth of the chip of the Pacific coast has been consumed at home. A larger invoice will necessarily hereafter be obliged to find its way to the eastern markets and compete with the wools of Texas and Ohio. In the face of these discouraging prospects, however, existing woolen mills in California and Oregon will have a better chance to succeed. While the demand may be limited, Calitornia woolens are destined to grow in favor as their excellence is better understood. IN a case justtried in the Madison county, Iowa, district court growing out of the notorious Bohemian oat swindle, the judge decided in favor of the inno- cent purchaser and present holder of the farmers’ notes. It was shown that the plaint.ff had bought the notes be- fore maturity. The defense ‘set up the claim that the notes represented a gam- bling contract and as such were void. The ecourt, however, held that the notes were given in consideravion of a bond executed and delivered to the maker of the note and as such were not gambling contracts within the meaning of the statutes. While the original transac- tion was denounced as fraudulent and as such the notes between the original parties might have bazen void, it would have been contrary to precedent and the rules of commercial law for the court to have preveuted the collection of the notes after haying passed into the hands of an innoceut purchaser before maturity, The Bohemian oat swindle is a very slick game and under various devices is likely to be sprung upon fapmers by smooth-dealing rascals. The only safe rule is for farmers to be cau- tious in binding themselves to contracts. emm—— THE Standavd oil oetopus seemingly is not content with the control of petrol- eum and cotton oil but itis stretching out its tentacles to embrace the dressed meat busivess on one side and the white lead industry on the other.

A meeting was held at the Paxton hotel yesterday afternoon between a committee of the Master Plumbers’ tion and a com- mittee from the Journeymen Plumbers’ union, with a view of scttling the present difficulties. The association was represented by President Hussey, M. A. Free, D. Fitz patricks, and Graham Park, and the union by Claney, w.uum Thompson, D). to place as to which side was respousible for the meeting, It was concluded that each side was as will w meet as the other. Mr. Harrs said that their object in meeting was to fix the dificulty between them, and wanted o know what the gentlemen representing tho association bad to suggest. That was what the association desirad to know of the union. An hour was spent in dis jon as to the difficulties, but no satisfactory result was reached. 'The committee from the union de- manded the recognition of that organization. The association was willing to recoguize the union but none of ‘its rules, and that is the point at issue. They talked of former rules and agreements made and broken, but still nothing was reached. Finally Mr. Hussey read the following as a nrv]msmou ‘which they are willing to stand by Resolved, That the wembers of the Omaha Master Plumbers’ association feel that them business interests are being unnecessarily and unwarrsntably hampered, injured and anterfered with by the journeymen’s union of this city, in that said organization, by its rules and acts, denies to the master plumbers of Omaha the right, as business men, to di- rect and manage their business affairs ac- cording to their own ideas. 'This interfer- ence has gradually become more and more unbearale, inasmich as the said *‘union,” through the acts of its members, *walking delegates” and other officials, assumes the right and power to dictate to employers as to the wages they shall pay, the number of hours which journeymen shall work, also as to the particular kiugd or class of work which employes shall perform, the numbor of ap- prentices, and jobbers? which each shop can employ, and other: rules equally arbi trary. lhiso]vcd That we recognize none of the rules of said “Union” as being binding or of any force with us as:ind uils 0r 88 mem- bers of the Master Blumber’s association. Resolved, That we are ready and willing to pay good wages to our empioyes, and always have done 8o, plumbers now receiv- ing higher wages thai auy other class of mechapics in Omaha., Resolved, That the *Union,” in so far as it tends toward the elevation of the class of mechanics in the trflgp‘eund the promotion of character and improvement of their eondi- tion, and the obtainlig of good wages for competent und industrious mechanics, hus our hearty sympathy and support; but the assumption of the right to dictate to em- loyers as to nearly every detail of thewr Eunmcu as above set fortd, is obnoxious in the extreme, 18 contrary to.the principles and institutions of American citizeus, and should not and can not be further tolerated. Therofore, It is resolved sud agreed by this association, that ever member s pledged to abide by the following vote, namsly : oted, That we, the Master Plumbers’ as- sociation of Omaha, individually and collecs tively, agree to recognize, in engaging work- men of all classes, no difference between so- called “union” and “'non-uvion” men; but both will be given work and kort in employ, and treated with the sawe consideration an accorded the the same riguts. Aho that hereafter we will, without any . for or ugainst ‘“‘union’ or “nun—unlon” kdp. whowsoever we with them s largé as a half-dol! i 2 whatever wages we thi r‘m hour for the numher of Lmu u( lbor wlnullv performed—ratos and num- ber of hours per day left to each shop to decide for itself; and we will require help to work on whataver class of work wo seo fit for the best interests of our business. In consequence of the adoption of the above rules by our association and subse- quent events, a ‘“strike’ or ‘‘lock-out’ of union men has occurred, and a committee from said *‘union’’ having requested a ocon- forence with a committes from our associa- tion, we hereby endorso the above resolu- tions, and re-aflirm them as the only condi- tions under which we will re-employ “‘union’ men; i. e,, that they may go back to work under the above conditions providing thoy will work in shops of all members of our association without any discrimination, “Is there anything objectionable about lh’lln“li” asked Mr. Hussoy when he had fin- o “It is all objectincable,” said the six gen- tlemen in chorus. When it came down to the objectionable points Mr. Harris pointed out a number of things that wers unsatisfactory—one, that” the association would not = recog- nize any difference between ‘‘union’ and “non-union” men; another, the proposed system of paving by the hour. After some further discussion the union com- mittee took the above and agroed to draw up somothing that wouid be agreeable to the union. This will b presented at another meeting of the committee, which will be held 10-duy or to-morrow. Notices to Plumbers, Superintendent of Plumbing Duncin was busy yesterday sending out notices to the licensed plumbors of tha city to eymply with the requirements of ordinance 2,055, passed at the last council meeting, wi calls for a deposit of $30 with the city troasurcr as & guarantee that all damage to streets and pavements will be repaired, and asso to do- posit 81 with the superintendent of plumbing before a permit will be issued to excavate on any street. The $50 deposit from oach plumber will form w will be known as 4 plumbers’ maint: ng fund, and all damages done by plumbers to streets or pav- ing and not repaired by them, will be re- paired by the engineer and paid out of this fund. The of the 850 deposit is w0 secure the city against loss by small jobs when the amount of damage is too small to form ground for an actiou against the plumbers’ bondsmen. The §1 fee to be de- Positea before any work is commenced, is expected to yield aboat $4,000, which will go toward the support of the superintendent of plumbing’s department. The superintendent ostimates that the fees of his office under the new ordinauce will amount to about £3,500 a ainst an expense of $7,500. thus mak- £ his department self-sustaining. — - MANDERSON ON GUARD.
