The Democrat Publishing company, by R B, Ingrabam, manager, scnt ina plaintive appeal yesterday to the county commission- ers, dofending their biil for publishing the tax list, and asking that it bo allowed. After stating that the Democrat had been doing the county advertisiag since March at ® cost of 8318, which wolld have cost the county $1,000 1f advertised in any other paper, the appeal went on to state that the law requires the treasurer to colloct 20 cont on delinquent lands and 10 cents on lot and stated that the Democrat's focs were 25{ and 15 cents, respectively, less than the amount assessed by law, and charged by See last year. The petition dwelled larly upon the saving to the property owner by having this amount reduced. A kick was also made becauss the number of descriptions was reduced, and compurisons were mude between the and the amount allowed T The complaint ended by saying 800 tot hing fair in this pre mit, this statement to you, belicving you will pay our bill, which i3 just and right.” An opinion wus received from the county attorney respecting tho claim of Hans Ras- mus for injuries reccived ju falling through defective bridgo. The attorney stated that the ruling of the supreme court of this state s that the county 18 not liable for any dam- ages caused by a defective bridge, even thongh such defect was the result of 'negli- gence on the part of the public ofticials, County Attorney Mahoney submitted a communication stuting that ks timo was 8o fully occupied thut he would not have time to attend toany civil cases in which the county is interested unless 1tcould be ar- ranged to have Messrs, Shea and Morearity devote all their Limo to preliminury examina- tions and criminal cascs.

He stated that be had not seen a paper for two weeks, and thought it was funny if a man who wanted to bid on ®oy county work should have to go into the Domocrat office to get a paper. The clerk haa told him ne had not been able to get u copy for overaweek, 'Keeffe therefore moved that the work be advertised for one ‘week in Tne Bee and the World-Herald. Five bids wero received for grading State street, in Florence. O'Keeffe wanted the bids opened immediately, but Anderson wanted them held unti) the city council is heard from on the question, It was floally decided to open the bids, and it was found *hat J. C. Root and An- drew Johnson were the lowest bidders, the price being 9 11-12 cents per yard It was then moved and carried that the bids be referred to the committee on roads, with, instructions to hold them untii the council is heard from and to hold the money or check of the lowest bidder. A communication was received from Dr. George L. Miller asking the board to im- prove the nvenues in Seymour park in ac- cordance with an agreement entered into when he gave the county the use of his bridge and road, and also in consideration of the fact that he had donated a park of fiftcen acres to the public, Superintendent Coots reported that the plutubing and steam heating at the hospital Was nearly completed, and suggested that competent engincer be appointed to take charge of the same, A communication was received from Ar- chitest E. 1. Myers in reply to a letter fi tho board, and from S, L I'ope & Co,, in re- ard to the fresh air pipes in tho hospitul. Mr. Myers stated that he could not concur in the changes suggested, ns he considercd the pipes, a8 given in the plans, wero amply sufficient for ventilaticn, It was decided to mate no change in the plans, The report of the register of deeds showed the following: ‘Total receipts for quarter Total disbursements. , .

Anderson objected to advertising In any paper except tho Democrut, and O'Keeffe said they might as well not advertise at all. 1t was finally decided that they advertise in a paper which had a ciroulation. Superintendent Coots reported on the bal- ance due to Kyan & Walsh on the erection of the county hosvitsl. The reportshows a balunce due them awmounting to $4,5%5.25, * Besides this amount there is $10,884.71 due them which has been retained trom time to time on the estimates as prosente, This amouut will be due and payable to the con- tractors upon the completion of their contract, making a total of $15,080.9) really due them, Superintendent Coots also estimates that it will require about §9,787.50 1o complote the building, leaving about &,312.49 which the county will owe tho contractors after the final estimato, County Superintendent Bruner submitted his quarterly report of the teachors’ institute fund, showing o balance of §105.51 on hand at the oud of the third quarter, — A Bright Detectiv Detective Vaughn, of the police force, was fn apeck of trouble yesterday afternoon, Thomas Todhunter, suverintendent of the motor compuny, appeared in police court and SWOre Out i WHrrant aguiust 8 man, charging bim with arson, Vaughn wanted the credit of makiug ap arrest and bestirred himself to keep the matter away from the reporters.

The only candidate for an importaut office who was preseut at the meeting was Adam Soyder, and this can be accounted for by wbe fact that Mr, Suyder 18 a momber of the committoe.

AMUSEMUENTS, For a numver of days past the air has been rifo with ramors of a sensation shortly to be sprung upon the Omaha puohic. For a 1ong time it was & subject of speculation as to whom the rumor referrod. but yesterday it was developod that Mr. T W. Miner, the popular manager of the New Grand opera house, was the object of suspicion, and & re- porter was detailed to watch the gentieman’s movements. _About 10 o'clock Chief Seavey applied for admission at-the manager’s office of tho Grand, and gently stepping ap behind him the reporter followed him into the office. Mr. Miner was found at his desk reading the latest dramatic nows in the New York Clipper. On seeing the chief and reporter enter the office Mr. Miner looked up with a smile and smd, “Gentlemen, in_what way can 1 servo you!” Chiof Seavoy then said he was sorry to 1nform him that ho bad a war- rant for his arrest. Mr. Miner staggered for a moment and nearly mado stage fall, but recovering himself immediately he mazaged to_articulate, “Tell me, man, with what crime am I charged?’ ‘You are ch with having ‘Three Wives to One Hus! and the trial will begin at the New Grand opera house Monday evening, October 21, and continue for three nights, with a Wedne: day matinec.” Tt is one of the most laughba- ble freaks a playwright ever put on the stage, and it containg enough suggestiveness to malke it crisp and spicy for the multitude of theater-habitues.

THE DISTRIOr JUDGESHIP, Fred Nye Presonts an Argument in avor of Mr. Davis, Owana, Oct. 10.—To tho Editor of Tue Brr: The contest over the judgeship in this district is interesting and Important because it deals with principles. It s generally ad- mitted that either Mr. Davis or Mr. Clarkson is fitted for tho place in the two essontials, character and.ability, Whether Mr. Clark- son was porsonally recreant in permitting his name to bo used in the bar convention aftor assuring Mr. Davis of bis support is not miaterial; it is admitted that Mr. Clark- on had every moral right to bo a candidate in that convention, and that he was honor- ably chosen, The heartof the matter is in these questions: 1. What was the bar méeting? 2. How was Mr. Davis nowinated? 8. Was Mr. Davis inconsistent in accepting the nomination! 4. How is Mr. Clarkson beforo the people? 5. Shall the selection of the judiciary be popular or pro fessionalt First. The meoting of the bar was called by a petition of a number of lawyers with theavow ed purpose ot recommending a can- didate for judgo of this district. The time was set 1n advance of the convention of either party. The meoting was attended by somoething “over two hundred lawyers, all but one residonts of this city., That one was from Sarpy county; the othior counties in the district, Burt and Washington, were without. representation. At the moeting Mr. Clarkson received o few more votes than Mr. Davis, who was his chief com- petitor, Second. Mr. Davis was nominated by a re- publican convention in which every county in tho district was ropresented, Iu that con- vention Douglas county bad a major i ty-nino delegates, Of those sixty-nine, informal ballot Mr. Davis had 1ifty, a major- ity of the convention. Washington and Burt cist one ballot for Mr. Jess and then without further contest withdrew his name and voted for tho candidate of Douglas county. Sarpy county voted once for Mr. Clarkson, and then came to Mr. H. J. Davis and his 'nomination was made unanimous, Tho,integrity of the nomiuation of Mr. vis by the convention of his |..u ty is absolutely without flaw, and” that nomination was mnot only honestly made—it was made with earuest- ness, enthu completest possivle ) ny. . 2 nembers of that convention were those sclected by the county convention to sent Donglas county in tho state convent previons to the judicial :, there for s creatures of any class, profes- sion or clique. They came direct from the peoblo to speak the sentiment of tho people. Third. The sdle objection to tne candi- dacy of Mr. Davisis in the assertion that, )m\'mg participated in the bar meeting, and having there been defeated by Mr. Clarkson, howas in honor bound to consides Limself ineligible to a nomination. Now, eitner that bar meeting was practically a 'nominating convention, or it was asimple meeting of lawyers to suggest a candidate to the party conventions. 1T it were the former, it was an ussumption of power ' scarcely parallel in the history of politics; if it wero the latter, no member was bound by its edict to temporary political disfranchisement. I have not seen a lawyer bold enough to claim that the bar meeting was held with the purpose of wresting the judiciary of this dis- trict from the hands of tho people, and yet every lawyer who opposes Mr. Davis ‘as- sumes that the verdict of that mecting was final. The issue is plain enough—it 13 be- tween the people and the faction of lawyers who nomfnated Mr. Clarkson. On the forenoon of the day of the repub- lican convention it became upparent that that convention would not underany circum- stances nominate Mr. Clarkson. Tho reasons for this need not be detailed. It is enough to say that they were rcasons for which Mr. Davis was not responsivle, and which he could notunder any circumstances have changed. 'The convention was ugainst Mr. Clarkson, He could mot have secured more than twenty votes in tho most favor- able contingency. It became then aquestion of the best thing to be done for the people, tho bench and the party, for wo matter how much it may be claimea that the judiciary 1s out of politics, so long as party conventions shall nominate candidates for judge, parties will be strengthened by good nominations and weakened by bad ones. 'The oyerthrow of Mr. Clarkson, and the substitution of a weak man would have been disastrous in cvery way, but it was found that every republican delegate who was opposed to Mr. Clarison would be glad to support Mr. . It was then u plain choice between nominating Mr., Davis, a man whose reputation could not ve assailed, whose ability had been demon- strated over and over again, whose pecnliar fitness for high judicial position had been repeatedly proven, whose popularity was self-evident, and who had teen oue of the most prominent candi dates at the meeting of tho Omaha bar; it was o choice between him and a man'un- tried, or one who unfortunately had been tried'too much, The suggestion of the bar regerding Mr. Clarkson had already been repudiated, but it was possible to select candidate 'in consonance with the much trumpeted motive of the bar, a candiaate in every way fitted to fill and dignify and orna- ment the place. That candidate was nomi- uated by a ation. Ho was not the candidato of Limself; he was thé candidate of the people—of the party working for the people. So chosen, what tie of faith could bind him to the verdict of a convention of lawjers called ostensibly to recommendi With the repudiation of the candidate of that convention by the body to whom the recom- mendation had been referred, it woula seem as though all responsibility of Mr. Davis to Clarkson came to an’ end. The uction of the bar bad been discussed and settlod—an irrovocable dacision had been rendered. Fourth, Clarkson is before the peoplo as the repudiated suggestion of a faction of the district bar to the party conventions, The convention which endorsed him participated in by but fifty-three del Ates out of an apportionment of cight. cight who bad been sclected, not by the Pl but by o committeo interosted primarily in forcing Clarkson upon the people, Out of that convention, chosen by a clique of law- rs, thirty-four voted to endorse Clarkson and eighteen against. Clarkson is therefore the exponent of a_suggestion of a lawyers' meeting, ignored by a republican convention, and only partially recognized by a small ma~ Jority of a demacratic convention paciced in his interest, Fifth, 'The lawyers of the United States necessarily occupy the bencl i they compose two thirds. The president 1s & lawyer, and his predecessor was a lawyer. There are three branches of the government judicial, legislative and executive, and the lawycrs monopolize the first and’ dominate the ond and the third, That, in @ freo country, with & peejudice against class control, is & good deal. When we say 1o a young wman desiring o enter politics that there is practicatly one door for him and that admission to the bar, we sur- ronder more to the legal profession than any othier combmation of men would dare to ask. And now the Douglas county contingent of the bar of this district propose that the final step be taken, and that the power of choice be wrested from the psople and given to themselyes, The primary, the conven- tion of the people, must be re- buked aud so destroyed. The people must bo taught that when a self-constituted convention of lawyers gatber together und resolve, that settles it. Parties must lay down their auclent prerogatives, and indi- viduals bow to the divine decree. The question to-day hus nothing to do with the character of the bench. It 18 admitted that whether Davis or Clarkson sball be elected, the judge will be upright—asculiza- tion of the “ideal of those who believe that the ermne should be spotless. The ques- tion, divorced from everything extraneous, 18 simply this: Shall the bar be given the power to nuilify the wishes of the people and to arbitrarily select the bench, Shall the goy- ernment be popular or professional! Shall the lawyers disfranchise the restof usi I adwit the propricty of the legal profession exercising a large " influence in _determining the character of the judiciary, but when the coutlict comes as iv does 10-day between the people aud the bar over the fundawental right to govern, I can see but oue reasonable course—but one course towards safe away {row aauger.

Do we bave any chance to warm ourselves? Well, hardly. Of course, a few of us do. that Is, the men wlo have old and experienced conductors in charge of their trains, for they can o inside on the north end while the ‘con.’ handles the grip for u few blocks. *‘Before the new schedule went into offect, wo had a few moments at each end ana could have utilized it by going inside to get warm. But, since the new time card was promul- gated things havo changed. We have to hus- tle now to make time and “‘skinning” the cable to mako up is a thing of long ago.” “How do wo dress! Ob, in various ways. The most common is to use heavy under- clothing—flannel generally—good heavy outer garments and a hoavy overcoat. 'Ihe latter wa buckle aronnd us, but no matter how warmly clad we are bound to get cold for a oo siifl wind is bound to chill & man in time. “Feot! Well, there is a puzzler. A man who can keep his feet warm in this business is w dundy. Asa rule, wo wear cither ruo- or felt boots. 1ut both tendency 10 create sweat and, in conscquenee, a person's 3000 becos ) blocks of ice, and when tman s ton hours in one plac only u short intermission for dumner, bis feet get mighty cold, letme tell you. OI course, some people will say stawp ‘emn, but there 1sn't muci room for staming, ict me tell you. As for our hands we can \v farge gloves, but sometimes we protty lively, and in order to make a quick stop, cspecially down Dodge street, when one must stop the cabie and sct his wheel and track brake in a short space of time be doosn’t want too much on his hands, I don't suppose that there will bo a great many drivers ou tho stroet car lines this winter,” remarked a_driver un the Saunders street line, “but the fow that will work ou tho suburban and branch lincs will suffer enongh, Pl tell vou. How do we keep warm? We don't. We sit out herc aud make what is known as a stagger at_it, that is to say we freezo by inches. Our feet and hands are the worst. On agrip, the fellow 1 keep a little circulation in'the ends of his but here we are different. We start with our feet warm and ganerally bury them in some hay. Fora time everything goes all right, but when they do get cold they are cold with a capital C. As forour hands, there is where we suffer most. You see we are obliged to be driver and conductor, and eight out of every ten passengers calls for change. Mittens,” gioves or whatever we wear on our hands must come off, and_in consequence our flngers get very cold. Wo dress as street car men generally do, heavy underclothing and big overcoats and unless driving dead ngainst the wind can manage to keep balf way warm for we have & lttle tmo at each end to fire up and commence over, “What do_you think of this winter?” re. marked a motor man in reply to a question, “Well, I hadn’t thought anything avout it until you spoke, but [ guessit will be tough enough. I have boen in strcet car servico for seven years, and never found any place warm enough except the cashicr’s position, right by the side of a stove. I guess we whio handle the electric_end of the motion, will have a worse time thuun the ge of the bell punch, Of course, sometimes it's lively work setting brakes, but then the greater part of that comes right in tie heart of the city, where all is protected. Out on the bills where the wind gets full sweep at a man, things will be different. Take the Walnut Hill line_or out on the Belt Line, or out near Hanscom park, wlhero the breeze from the uorth gets a full swing at_a fellow and stops ave fow, and I guess iv will be cnough. And in a position of this kind,while a man gan afford to dress warm, e cannot afford {o cumber humself too heéavily. De- cause, you see, if ho does, he cannot get ac- vion on himself.
