Frir, Notary P SEND IN YOUR COMPLAINT Frequent complaints reach THE Ber from pnssengers on trains and from res- idents of towns in this tion, that it is impossible to gev a copy of Tunr Bee from vesident news agents and train newsboys. The claim set up by the lat- ter is: ‘*All sold;” and then other Omaha papers are offered instead. In some instances, when the would-be pur- chaser insists on getting a copy of THE B, it is fortheoming, but train news- boys deal them out spavingly, and when their supply is about exhvusted it is thoir practice to force other Omaha papers on passengers who would not buy any other than THe BeR if it could be had. Tnr BEE urges upon everybody the “importance of making complaint to this oflice upon failure to get THE BEE of news dealers and newshoys. Thero is no reason why a full supply should not be kept for all demands. All lodal new ts handling Tur xpected to furnish subsceribers the daily, including the Sunday edition, at twonty cents a week, and all refusals to do s0 should be reported tothisoflice. IN 1T1E race for first place, it is neck and neck between the postofiice, union depot and city hall, THE demagoguesin the couneil should drop the mask and put the city hall’ up at auction for votes. TH1 combination of colored stone lected for the city hall insures a build- ing of the Dolly Varden order. JUDGING from the character of his manifestoes General Boulanger's pen seems to be no mightier than his sword. RETURNS from Montana indicate that the Missourians coerried the day. It is now in order to aunex the new state to St. Louis. Tue Wichita, Kan., city council re- cently reduced saloon licenses in that city from 8100 to $50. For a strictly prohibition state that figure is not very bad. newspapers have dis- covered that “other republican leaders are knifing Foraker.” This is a sure sign of an increased republican majority in Ohio. e deep water convention is mov- jug along swimmingly in Kansas. There ure so many concerns in deep water in that section that the conven- tion feels perfectly at home. BOSTON has four hundred and fifteen thousund, three hundred and four pop- ulation, not counting her favorite son, Professor John L. Sullivan, who will soon depart for the Mississippi peniten- tiary. It BEHOOVES Councilman Boyd to move another resolution. He cannot aflord ut this stage of the campaign to abdicate his grip on the labor vote to such veteran workingmen as Hascall and O'Counor. UNioN PaAcivic employes, who are assessed forty centsn month for a com- pany hospital fund, intimate that the money is used for other purposes than that which it is designed for. The figures are called for. —— It is gratifying to note that a recent revival of the code in Lowsiana re- sulted 1n two funerals. If such success could be guaranteed at future meetings of offended southerners, the country would cheerfully’ overlook the melan- choly incidentals. — Pk grand jury should by all menns wview the county hospital in a body. It upon their return they do not indict the men who built iv and the men who were an collusion with this job, they would be willing to witness the burglary of the ocounty treasury without as much as lift- ing a finger to prevent the crime. Tur Rock Island company shows commendable promptitude in making amends, as far as money can do it, for the deplovable accident near Chicago. The paymeat of the full amount of the olaims us fast as presonted will tend to dimiuish the odium brought upon the management and intoxicated employe. GENERAL REPUBLICAN VICTORY. The result of the elections in the new states will be satisfactory to republicans generally. It is all that the most san- guine expected, and much better than the great majority of intelligent repub- lican observers had counted on. As to South Dakota, it was simply & question of maintaining last year’s republican majority of fifteen thousand, and the indications are that this has been in- creased. In North Dakota, where the republican mnjority was mnearly twelve thousand, it was fearod that local fssues and factional quarrels would endanger the succoss at the late election of a portion of the republican ticket, particularly the candidate for | congress. The résalt is a complete re- publican victory, though appareatly by a somewhat reduced majority from that of last year. In 1888 Washington’s re- publican majority was seven thousand, and the indications are that this has been maintained, if not inerensed. The result in Montana will be as gratifying to the republicans of the country as it will be disheartening to the democrats, The struggle in that state was more sharp and earnest than in either of the other now states, and at the outset of the campaign the democrats ap- peaved to have a. very decided ad- vantage, They had elected a majority of the constitutional convention owing to republican disaffection, thus over- coming a republican majority of five thousand in the election of last year, and they began the contest which ended last Tuesday under what scomed tho most favorable circumstances for their success. Up to the closing hour of the campaign the demoorats professed themselves confident of getting overy- thing excepp the representative in congress, and republicans felt no certainty of securing anything but their candidate for congress. The most trustworthy advices at hand at the hour of writing 1ndicate that the re- publicans of Montana have elected the congressman anda majority of the le lature, thus insuring two republican United States senators from that state, a result which, if 1t shall be verified by later returns, must be regurded by re- publicans everywhere as in the highest degrec satisfactory and gratifying. There appears to be no doubt thay prohibition was defeated in North Dakota and that it was carried by a small majority in South Dakota. THE CONSTITUTIONS ADOPTED. In all the new states the constitutions were adopted by overwhelming majori- ties. It will be interesting to again re- fer to the most prominent features of the organic laws of these new commo wealths, in some of which notable de- partures are made, though in the main they follow on the lines laid down by the best approved constitutions of the older states. In the bill of rights the constitution of South Dakota contains all the time-honored provisions regarding the rizht of petition, freedom of wor- ship, security of life, iiberty and prop- erty, e facto laws, supremucy of the civil over the mlit power, ete. Joined with the declaration of the ne- cessity of a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles is the averment that **the blessings of froe government yonly be muintained by a firm ad- herence to justice. moderation, tempar- ance, frugality and virtue.” A notable provision is th no distinction snall ever be made by law between resident h0st aliens and citizens in refereuce to the possession, enjoyment of, or descent of property, nor does the constitution authorize any such discrimination against anon-res dentalien. The system of jury trial is retained, but the legisiature is author- ized to provide for a fewer number of jurors than twelve in the lower courts, and for verdicts by three-fourths of the jurors in civil onsss. The constitu- tion is somawhatradical in dealing with the executive, legislative and judicial departments of the government. Re- straints and inhibitionsnot found in the older constitutions laid on the legis. lature, the executive and the courts. Members of the legislature befofe taking their seats must swear that they offered no bribes for votes and made no promises in the na- ture of u bribe to secure their election, and further, that they will not receive or accept, directly or indivectly, any money, pass, ov other valuable thing from any corporation, company or per- son for any official act they may per- form. A member refusing to take this oath will forfeit his soat, and a member swearing faisely shall be disqualified from holding # seat in the legislature or any office in its gift. Sessions of the legislature are biennial and limited to sixty days. Special legislation is pro- hibited in a large number of cases, and provision is made for the punishment of corrupt solicitation of membersof the legislature or other public oflicers. The governor is given only a very limited pardoning power. In cases where the sentonce is death, imprisonment for over two years, or a fine exceeding two hundred dollars, the governor cannot act except upon the recommendation of a board of pardons cousisting of the presiding judgo, secretary of state and attorney general, and the governor must report to the legislature all par- dons granted and the reasons therefor. The governor has the usual veto power, which is extended to the disapproval of items in appropristion bills, There ave strong provisions for the prevention and punishm:nt of cor- rupt practices on the part of the execu- tive, or for any attompts on his part to influence members of the legislature by threatening them official power. Regarding corpovations the right to amend charters is resorved, the power of eminent domain asserted over corporate property, cumulative voting secured to stockholders, and railroad Railroads are declared logis- lative conteol, and full power is re- regu- Railroad probibited absolutely consolidation of lines forbidden. public highways, competing subject to served to the late and fix their charges. diserimination and without qualification. legislature to A notable feature of the North Da- kota constitution is the declaration in the bill of rights that ‘‘the state of North Dakota is un inseparable part of with the use of his the American unfon, and the constitu- tion of the United States is the su- premo law of the land.” Another pe- culiar feature of the Dbill of rights is the declaration that it is the righ of I'a citizon to obtain employment wher- ever possible, and punishment is | provided for any interforence with 5 this right by blacklisting, boycot- ting, or otherwise. As to the jury sys- tem it is provided that civil suits may bo tried to & jury of less than twelve, and allows the legislature to make any changes in the grand jury system that it may deom proper. The safeguards against corrupt practices by publio ofi- cialsare strong and the penaltios for such practices ample. The ions of the legislature, except the t, are lim ted to sixty aays, The veto power of the governor extends to items of ap- propriation bills, and he also has the full power of pardon. The right of suf- frage is granted to oivilizod per- sons of Indian descont who have sovered their tribal relations two yoars next preceding the adoption of the constitu- tion, and to women having the qualifi- | cations to vote in school eloctions. Por- sons of foreign birth can exercise the sullrage only when fully naturalized. There are no radical innovations in the constitution of Washington except with respect to corporations. The prin- ciples of the inter-state commerco act are planted firmly in the constitution and put beyend the reach of the le lature. Tho right to fix rates is asserted without qualification, pools are forbidden, and fictitious stock or in- debtedness is declared void. Compot- ing lines of railroad can notbe consoli- dated, and the right of eminent domain is ussorted over all corporate proporty to the same extont as over private prop- erty, being expressly extended to all telograph and telephone companies. Swockholders in banking corporations are liable to double the amount of their for corporate debts, while other corporations stockholders aro liable only to the amount of their unpaid stock. In all other respects except in its dealing with corporations the coustitution of Washington is very conservative. The Nontana constitution curtails the power and functions of the legisla- ture in a marked degreo in compirison with the older state constitutions. The amplest provision has been made to preserve the rights of the people from legisiative oncronchment and also to protect them against logislative cor- ruption. In moueof the new states nor in any of the old, the popular distrust of lative power been more stroug expressed than by the men who framed the constitution of Montana. This state is somewhat less radical than Wash- ington in dealing with corporations but it has incorporated in the organic law most of the saliont features of the inter-state commerce act. Those constitutions, represeating the views and wishes of distinct and widely separated communities, broadly di- vergent in important resy , bat all of them republican in form, will now go on trial. That all of them will remain permanently intict, not- withstanding the care and intelligence which marked the labor of framing them, is not to expectel. Experience with their operation and the changed conditions of the future wiil undoubt - edly suggest and compol amendme and some of these muy remove prov sions now deemed the wisest and most vital. Buton the waole the people of the new states are to be congratulated upon the adoption of organic laws which reflect high credit upon their intelli- gence and their patriotism. GRINDING THEIR AXES. Every time an election is in sight po- litical demagogues arc on hand with loud talk in favor of the wage-worker. The other day Councilman Boyd 1ntro- duced a resolution directing the com- mitteo in charge of the city hall build- ing to insert in the contract a provision that only union labor should be em- ployed and that nobody shall work on the building longer than exght hours on any one day. Mr. Boyd expeets to run for sheriff and of course is gushing over with sympathy and love for the labor- ing man. When he was superintendent of the stockyards nobody ever heard him propose that the men under him should be restricted to eight hours’ work. And now that prince of dema- pogues, Hascall, sees Boyd's card and goes him ome better. He wants only home-spun material used in the city hall building and insists that the contractor shall be tied hand and foot to iron-clad conditions which he Kknows no contractor could possibly ac- cept. Hascall is up for re-election and he wants to out-Herod Herod in his loud mouthings on behalf of the working- man. And yet everybody knows Has- call was the chief fugler of the com- bine that kept the city hall from being built, and knocked the workingmen of Omaba out of employment this season by his antics and mule tricks. The workingmen of Omaha are not a lot of gudgeons and suckers, They know a political mountebank wheu they see him. They know what promises these fellows make before election, ana how they humbug the laboring man from one year's end to the other when they are in power. They have shown the cloven hoof too often in the city hall building. It is proper enough for the council to require of the contructor that all things being equal, he shall give preference to Omaba foundries, mills and bricl yards over those in any other locality, But suppose he was absolutely forbidden from getting any material out- side of Omaha. Would mnot that compel him to pay any price that Omaha foundries and manufac- tories would see fit to demand ¥ Could he afford to take the risk of entering into a coatrnct with the city under such conditions? It is right and proper that preference should be given to union labor on the city hall building, but no builder would enter into a bond to erect the city hall or any other costly build- ing conditioned oa his employing only union laborers and mechanics, Who would be willing to go on his bond under such conditions? With the abso- lute certainty that the contractor was obliged to émploy only union men, the natural refift'would be a combination of union wgrfkmen to compel him to pay any wages@at,tho risk of forfeiting his bond. Furthormone, disgruntled contractors might work up a strike against the builder and ryin him. No fair-mindod man, whether he is a workingman or business mat would impose such condi- tions. Oply, arrant demagogues and political mountebanks who have axes to grind with, yorkingmen will vesort to such buncombe, CONGRESSMAN FARQUUAR, of New York, will introduce in congress two bills designed to utilize the merchant marine of this country. One will pro- vide for the payment of a bounty of thirty cents per ton for every thousand miles traveled by vessels of American register. The other will provide for the admission, duty free, of all raw ma- terials imported in ships of American rogister. Therecent offer of Mr. Cramp, of Philadelphin, made to John Burns, the president’ of the Cunard line, to duplicate the Servia for the same price charged by the English builders and to boat her time, indicates that ships can be as well, if not better, built in this country, and as cheap as in Fngland. Mr. Burns did not feel disposed to accopt Mr. Cramp’s offer hecause, like all English- men, he prefers to patronize his own countrymen at the expenseof all others. Americans are welcomo to contribute to the income of the Cunard company as long as they want to, but they need not call for a distribation of a portion of its profits in this country, for no such re- quest will be heeded. Ships cost no more to build in Amer- ica than in any other country, and with some noeded legislation the United states flag may soon be seen on the water highways of the world as fre- quently as the Union Jack of England. Ir 18 absard to v the Douglas county bar’s recommendation for a cun- didate for the district bench is final, The selection of Mr. Clarkson was an endorsement of that gentleman’s qual- ifications for the,position. Tt does not abridge the right of parties to nominate candidates, nor does it in any way i terfere with or forestall the final de ion of the voters. If tho republican convertion declines to nominate Mr. Clarkson. and places an equally com- petent man on the ticket, the voters will have no cause of complaint, But all this noise and slug-lined froth is gencrated by soveheads. It is insin- cere. It is mercenary motives parading in the garh of party patriotism. 1t is the old mask of bummerism which the voters of this di upon two y trict tore off and spat ars ag THE coun refused to use il has firmly anything bt Dodlin granite for the base of the city 1 building. Conced- ing, for argument ake, that a hight- colored granite is preferable to dark- colored for the base, ean anybody in or out of the council tell our citizens why Dodlin granite should have the prefer- ence? There ave atleast a dozen differ-" ent granite companies in Now Bngland whose material is equal, if not better, than the Dodlin. Why insist upon the particular stone for which Paul Van- devvoort is the ugent? Vandervoort is wotorionsly an oil-room boodler, and whether his influence in getting Dodlin granite adopted by the council was or vas not corrupt, the inference is that there 1s sometning rotten in Denmark in counection with this deal. lizod country is erecting iers against the hotdes of China. uador and Australia have followed the oxamplo of the United States by enacting stringent exclusion laws, and the temper of the people is such that technicalities and legal subterfuges will vot be tolerated. The law in this coun- try has been practically nullified by the courts and lawyers of San Francisco. While the number seeking shelter on our shoves has largely decreased, hun- dredsare pormitted to land through the conmivance of nuckstering lawyers and strawbonds. British Columbia and Mexico also alford a safe avenue over our borders, The law shonld either be rigidly enforced or repsaled. Ir Christopher Columbus were alive to-day and ablo to cnforce a contract made Aprii 17, 1492, with Ferdinand and Isabella, concerning the country he discovercd he might have a protiy larze income. Under it he would receive about sixteen million dollars a year from the bullion product, besides a one- tenth claim in the pearls, precious stones and goneral merchandiso of America, It would seem no moro than proper that Jay Gould and Vanderbilt, who now enjoy what Mr. Columbus would be entitled to were he alive, should contribute liberally towards cel- ebrating the event which made it possi- ble for them to pile up such colossal wealth, I¥ 1416 Germans of Omaha desire to further the cause of liberal ideas they had better muzzle the crank who is howling himself boarse every publica- tion duy over imaginary speotres which to s distorted vision appear to be pro= hibitionists in disguise. The leadership of a crank is like the blind leading the lame. There is no immediate or remoto danger that auy candidate on the demo- cratic or the repablican county ticket will be a prohibitionist, avowed or se- cret. Bat évérybody is a suspect in the eyes of the wild-eyed cditor, and to be a suspect meaus, of courvse, that he is afoe to liberal ideas'and individual freedom. ———— THE immense amount of Kaglish gold pouring into the United States for in- vestment threatens to seriously disturb the monetary condition of England.

THE train wreclker is on hand again, propelled by the engineers who have several times succoeded in ditching the ropublican party in this county. This time they persist in forcing a partisan contest over the vacant judgeship and it they are countenanced in this effort by the county convention, a nomination on the ticket will mean disaster and de- feat.
