Semper Maginnis. RETURNS are not sufficiently definite to determine whether a Manitoba wave or a Northern Pacific blizzard swept Montana. Both roads claim everything. Ouvrsine of an oceasional humorous veference to him by republican papers, there is but little evidence that Camp- bell is a candidate for the governorship of Ohio. Indinna man appears to have plucked the richest of the offices in the new states, Six of them have success- fully grown up with the country. Has Obio lost her grip? THe It 15 to bo regretted that the voters of the Dakotas did not make the iegisla- tures unanimous while they were at it. To sabject a few lonesome democrats to the pitiful gaze of the public is cruelty refined. WHILE the political tinkers are soldering the eity hall contract so that ho votes shatl escape, it would be an evi- dence of returning sensce to consult the eontractor, It usually takes two par- ties to make a contract. 1Ir RYAN and Walsh were properly _ approached on the subject, it is quite probuble that city bill of twenty-two thousand dollars would be promptly paid by the county. Comptroller Good- rich should not despair. WESTERN packing statistics for the past week show an all-round incrense over the corresponding period last year. The Omaha market, after months of de- pression, reports a marked 1ncrease, and ranks a strong third among the markets of the country, Wiritall the clamor and indignation agaiust the county commissioners no- body outside of the political rut has been talled of for commissioner. If we are to have a change it should be mude by the selection of men who have business capacity to administer the affuirs of the count, IN 1AE scramble among the men who want to expound the law as justices of the peace, the barnacles who have been running cost-mills for years are most prominent. The business men of Omaha, as much as anybedy, are interested in weeding out this class of shysters and cormorants, but when they are once nominated it will be very difficult to beat them at the polls. There are half a dozen reputable justices of the peace now holdiug office, and the party con- vention should give them preference. RALLY AROUND THURSTON. A grand rally of railroad cepublicans is to take place next week at Hastings. The call for this patriotic nssemblage hins been standing at the head of the ed- itorial columns of the organs that have two R's engraved on their bavrel, for more than a month, The magic names of John M. Thurston and Brad D, Slaughter are attached to this bugle blast, and that menans that the boys will not bo excused for being absent. John and Brad have served notice that a fall representation of clubs is desired, and that is a guaranty that everybody will be full before the rally is dispersed. The most suggestive part of the call is & request to the del- egates to send in their names early to John M., which of course means that the gender will receive an inter- state commerce ticket by return mail. But what does this rally portend? What grave and momentous problems are to be wrestled with at Hasvings, It is in accord with tho etornal fitness of things that the clubs should rally around Thurston, just as other patriots always have a right to rally around the flag and an appropsiation. But what in the name of does Thurston want with hisclubs in Hastings on the day before the state convention? Do they propose to reconstruct the supreme court, or is Brad Slaughtor going to issue commissions for each and all of goodness “them as deputy United States marshals? John M. Thurston is a good deal of a practical joker, but he certainly has not calied this rally of his clubs for a quiet poker gome—in which clubs are tramps, Ton man up a tree this rally round Thurston is suggestive of some scheme that is to matecialize about the time the convention has concluded its work. Possibly Thurston fears that the state convention will not be able to raise a quorum or find anybody willing enough to preside. This is merely speculative on our part, but it is well enough to keep the people of Nebraska fully in- formed as to the precautions which Thurston and Slaughter have taken to prevent the democrats from capturing the state convention next Wednesday. PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN UILAH. Among the suggestions contained in the annual report of the Utah commis- sion is one advising congress to pass laws for the establishment and control of a public school system for the verri tory. There is no question about the constitutionality of such a course. »d by the commission, their propose ational scheme contem- plates a free school system, to be main- tained by the tervitory itself out of the public funds of the territorial treasury. Phe power of congress to establish free schools in Utah can mot be called in question. Public schools, as much as any ofther agoncy, would prove u valuable auxiliary in the solution of the Mormon qu ion. At present education in Utah outside of sectarian schools where Mormon doc- re taught, is under the control ous Protestant denominations who earry on the work so far as prac- ticable, but their scope and intluence limited. The *bishops,” “‘elders” and apostles of the Mormon church have exerted all their inlluence to neutralize thei cts. In the of a goneral school system conducted as pro- posed by the commission, that is to say, under the control of federal authorities, the bad influences of the Mormon diguitaries could better be counteracted and made harmless. A congressional act covering the recom- mendations of the comuission should by all means be passed, even though it be viewerd entively in the light of an experiment, Some remedial legisla- tion is necessary, aud no batter could be suggested than that which would afford the people of Utah the privileges of free, non-sectarian education. good ¢ A WORD OF WARNI he republicans of this county have it within their power to elect their whole ticket in Noveu if they make no mistake in selecting their dates. The criminal neglig wnd vecklessness which the democratic county ecommissioners have shown in the management of our county affairs is a powerful lever for displacing them and giving republicans control of county affairs for the next two years. But this manifest advantage may be lost by blunders in the selection of un- popular or unfit republican candidates. All things being equal, Douglas county is democratic, and republicans can only hope to win by an excellent ticket with candidates whose records are clean. Honest republicans will nov vote for unclean men and men who are known to have been derolict to any trust. It is our desive to see a ticket nomin- ated that all republicans apd law-abid- ing citizens can couscientiously sup- 00! for this reason we are impelled to caution the party againsta blunder which is liable to cause disaster. We refer particularly to the candidacy of Sheriff Coburn. The unwritten law which has limited the tenure of county officials to two terms should not be de- parted from, Mr. Coburn is, however, laboring earnestly to break the record, because, as he says, he needs a vindication. The question is, Shall the republicans of this county jeopnrdize the success of their whole ticket to gratify the am- bition of any man ? Mry, Coburn cannot say truthfully that Tie BEe has been unfriendly to him, or has treated him unfairly. On the coutrary, we have many times ignored complaints against him and refrained from censure where he or his subordinates have shown par- tiality to criminals and apparently sought to thwart the ends of justice. ‘We need only to refer to the indul- gences granted to John Lauer and the tenderness exhibited toward the Beech- ler-King woman, In the latter case the whole community was scandalized by the free-and-easy way in which the sheriff permitted this woman to ride about the streets while she was under indictment for murder, The studied silonce of the Warld- Herald at this time means simply that itsa guus are being double-shotted for use against the republican ticket in case Coburn is placed at its head. The question is, shall the republican 2nco THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1889, party enter the campaign hgndicapped by Mr. Coburn. There are other dead weights that the party cannot afford to majority of the convention will not commit the folly of.entering upon a de- fensive campaign, in which the repub- lican press is to be given the task of apologizing for its candidates. Boss RULE 1n Maryland roceives a staggering blow by the desertion of the Youag Men's democratic club of Balti- more. Kor yoars the state has been ruled and hurried to ruin by the Gor- man’s and Higginses. Every attempt to redeem it and vitalize the character of the officeholders was crushed by the all-powerful parcty dictators. They brooked no opposition, refused vecog- nition to the voung element of the party and contomptuously spurned the demands for reform. The resolutions adopted by the scceding club indicate the growing distrust which the arrvo- gant party managers has created. They declave that the voice of the people is stifled and that the interests of the state subordinate to the selfish schemes of the ring. They further de- clare that they will use all legitimate means to defeat a ticket born of fraud and fatherved by avarice. The club is composed of a large numbor of influen- tial young men. In joining forces with the republicans their example will have great weight with disaffected demo- crats, and is certain to hasten the downfall of bossism in Maryland. are T to the hypocrite the demagogue s the most despicable of croatures. The editor of the Double-ender belongs to that species. When the postoffice was under discussion, and he was laying the pipes to get eighty thousand dollars out of Uncle Sam for lots he owns in Planters’ house sauare, he yelped him- self hoarse about selfish schemers, and howled night and day about the damage which the city was sullering by the delay which prevented the immediate erection of great business blocks in the neighborhood of the Planters’ house. Now that Hascall and other candi- dates for re-election ave tossing the city hall contract back and forth under vre- tense that they want to help home labor, this public spirited- citizon, who 's building great hotels, opera i , but never builds ord with the mounte- banks and endorses the move which he knows will again delay the construction of the tity hali. Whnile Hascall is bid- ding for votes he is bidding for sub- seribers among the working classes, whose confidenco and patronage he has never been able to get by his hypocriti- cal pretenses of sympath ACCORDING to a decision just rendered by the supreme court of New York, the owners of elevators in any building are common carriers. Tha suit in which this decision was rendored was brought by a passenger who had veen injured by an accident to the elevator, due to a del of the piston rod, which, the owners cluimed, no possible care on thoir part could discover. The court in deciding for the plaintifl held that they oceupied the same relation towards the passengers they carried as do stage or railroad companies. The fact that the owners of such elevators do not exact a charge does not seem to enter the ques- tion. The decision marks a de- parture from the fundamental principle that governs the liability of common carriers. By the same course of ro: oning the owner of any building would be liable for any accident that might befall people while ascending or de- scending an ordinary stairway. THE action of the warden of the state penitentiary in discharging three Wyo- ming convicts without the consent of the authorities of the territory, is an unwarranted proceeding. There was tion for the action. The d when Jhe prisoners were eived to provide for their mainten- ance at a certain price, and was 1n duty bound to keep them until the authori- ties of Wyoming could provide for them elsewhere. The law did not authorize their discharge, because vl were not subject to the laws of of turning them over to the territorial officials the warden assumed the power to discha them, even- without the usual papers. and arrogantly ordered them out of the state. The action of the pemtentiary officinls should be inquired into by the proper authority. RIVALS for the capital prize in South Dakota snould cheerfully bow to the verdict of the electors. The bitterness engendered by the contest should be buried, and & common effort made to lay a broad and deep foundation for the new commonwenlth, The avenues of enterprise and activity are continually broadening. Millions of acres of fertile land will soon be adddd to the cultiva- ble aren of the new state. This means a large influx of settlers and material progress, If the unsuccessful towns will turn their attenotion to these invit- ing channels of trade and expend on them a fraction of the meansand energy wasted in the recent contest, the profits in growth and prosperity will far ex- ceed the benefits of the capital location. A UNITED STATES judge in Iowa has decided that railroad companies have no right to suspend the operation of non- paying branches. The franchise granted to build the road carrvies with it the duty of keeping it open for pub- licuse. If sustained by the supreme court the decision will have a salutary effect. It will prevent railroad man- agers from punishing communities lo- cated on brauch lines for the offensive acts of railrond commissioners and check in the future the building of rail- roads from nowhere to nowhere, em—— THERE is & difference of opivion as 0 the date upon which Judge Groff’s sue cessor, to be chosen at the November election, will assume the duties of his oftice, Judge Doane isof the opinion that the man chosen to succeed Judge Groff will not enter upon his duties until January, and that the present three judges will have to attend to the business of the courts until that time unless Governor Thayer appoints a man t fill the vacancy in the interim. “Help on™ W bench is sadly needed,” snid Judgo Doane. “With the mass of | business ahead no time should be lost Tond up with, and it i¢ to be hoped the | in getting another judge at work at once.” Judge Wakeley differs from the opinion of Judge Doane and holds that Judge Groff’s successor may enter upon his duties just as soon as the result of the electioh is known. - —_— IN his ‘recent article in the Noith Awwerican Resiew, Jeft Davis says: Itis a fact of ineffaceable record that I publicly and always predicted a long and bloody struggle, and for that rcason was often criticised and censured by the more ardent advocates of secession and termed “slow” and “too conservative.” Jeff Davis has a very defective mem- ory. Tunearly every speech he made between Jackson and Montgomery on his way to be inaugurited president of the confederacy he predicted that the war would be over within sixty days and the confederacy would be recognized as a nation by England and France. These speeches were not only published by the press, but incorporated into histo- ries written during and since the war.
