In this con- neetion it should be remembered that but one Omaha bank has closed its doors in 20 years, and that one scarcely deserved the name, IF¥ the independents sincerely desiro to thake themselves useful totheir allies, the workingmen, they cannot afford to defeat the Omaha charter and cut off from emwlogment thousands of laboring men who are waiting for a chance to begin work on public improvements and purks, TWwo toachers and a preacher consti- tute the committee to examine appli- cants for positions to teach in the Omaha schools, none of whom are par- ents of the children to be instructed.

From overy stand- point it will be unfortunate for the city, for roputable liguor dealers and for tho commission if Judge Helsloy’s opinion be ncquiesced in, IGNORANT OF OUR SYSTEM. It would seem from tho nature of the demands which the [talian government instructed its minisier tomake upon the government of the Uniled States that there is ignorance of our political s tem among the advisors of the king of Italy. In nsking official assurance from the fedoral government that the parties for teagedy at Now should be brought to justice, government shows that not tand limi= of authority and, jurisdiction in the United States, and in demanding indemnity it also shows that it is ignorant of the fact that this is a watter which the executive department cannot decido upon, that being a func- tion of congroes: It was the duty of the [talian minister to this country to have enlightened garding the scope of the federal author ity, but he appears not to done this, and the omission has allowed the government of Ttaly to get into a posi- tion that is being ridiculed by the rest of the world, It apvenrs from the communication of Secretary Blaine to the seeretary of the Italian legation that inter= with the recall had impress upon him that the United ivo th st do responsible the Orle the It it does tations lian the his government r have in several view d minister he endeavored to the rnment of was utterly unable to wsheed for.

With a clearerunderstanding of the limitations of the federal authority in the U nited states, the government of I[taly will see the mistake it has made and may be expected to as promptly abandon its false position asit was hasty and inconsiderate in assuming it. A GOOD ADVERTISEMENT. Southern California has suffered in- tensely from the reaction bf 1ts r estate boom in the past thr the characteristic entorprise of tho Golden state has experienced no diminu- tion. For two yeurs past the boards of trade of California have maintained an unique advertisoment known as “Cali- fornia on Wheels,” being a handsomely fitted up car displaying her products to excellent advantage. The ear has vis- ited nearly all the cities of the union and has attracteda groat deal of atton- tion. Parties inchnrge of it have dis- tributed vast quantitios of advertising matter and thousands of settlers have been attracted to the fertile valleys yond the Sierras by this means, The people of southern California, the citrus belt and semi-tropic seetion, have been especinlly active, The past year was one of unexgmpled success in frait owing. The orchards and were never so productive, and owing to the very general failure of the fruit erops in almost all other sections of the union, prices were excoptionslly remu- nerative. The eyos of the people have been turned from town-lot stakes and boom hotels to the development of the vesources of the country, and business is now being conducted out there on busi- ness principles, Recentlya gi accused vineyards and citrus fair was held in Los Angeles, at which the best orunges, lemons, limes, pomegranntes and other fruits of the class woere dis- playod to the winter visitors, Not sat- i with the limited field thus af- the Los Angeles chamber of commerce and the liberal business men of the eity have decidod to give Chies ibition of semi-tropic California ) must prove highly intevesting to eastern people and indirectly profitable to the owners of orange tands in south- ern California, Over five hundred thousand earofully selected oranges, together with immense quantities of lemons and arcanged in artistic the &xposition building.

Nowhero elso in this country is there so much hardship and privation asin the Pennsylvania coke regzion, and many pathetic accounts have been written of the distress and suffering whichare common there, In such ere- cumstances it is only natural that dis- content should constantly prevail, and that frequont should sither to provent u lowering of v 10 secu strugglos aviso o8 oF > an ad vance.

Those preparations to enfc w and order may convince the cooler judgments among the strikers that they have evorything to lose by a policy of lawles ness, and that it would bo worse than madness to. attempt to maintain a con- flict against the authority and power of the state of Pennsylvania. If it shall not have this effect, then there will be more bloodshed, for the laws must be upheld at whatever cost. The strikers may have a just griovance, It is quite possible that in a peaceable effort to maintain wages thoy would be entitled to public s But they cannot resorting« to violence, and if they continue in that course they will have to pay the bitter ty which it involves. The dispatches state that the dead were not citizens of the United States, but as they were killed while engaged in an unlawful act and by oficers of the law their surviving relatives are shut out from any claim for reparation. take 2 new workors, scene rected MUNICIPAL MA LICE, One of the dificulties of municipal government everywhere is the difficulty to secure harmony and co-operation in the conduct of public business. The city government may agrec upon na- tional political issues and all its omeials be delegates to the same political con- vention and yet be using the offices they holdas the footballs of malice entirely regurdless of tho people -who pay their salaries., Mor: carry their personal malice into their public duties and favor or opposo measures merely because they fan they will benefit or injure other individ- uals associnted with them as public officials. Just now Omaha and Douglas county are suffering because their city and county officials are out of harmony with each other and theve is too much malice to be gratified, The county commissioners moot and quarrel, The city council is n weekly boar gar- den. Members use langunge toward each other in deliberating upon public matters which would be discreditable in a Third ward caucus, Ordinances, reso- lutions, reportsof committees and mo- tions ave opposed merely and solely be- caase they are fathered by one counc man or another against whom some member hus an unsatisfied grudgo, City officials employed by the council are hampered and traduced because hoy have failed to respond to recuests for pessonal politieal service ator since the alection. Tho mayor, the ity attornoy, and almost if not quite all other officinls come in for a shave of opposition which when probed to the heart revealsa bit of petty malice in the small soul of some member. Liketreatment isawarded the park commission, the board of fire and police comm nd the board of health.

Woir's name, The court immediately issued an order ro quiring City Clerk Van Duyn to appear and answer why a peremptory writ of manda mus should not issue. Van Duyn was ready for trial and the caso was called before dudge Hall ut 0 0'clock. The whole matter turnod on the point whether or not section 8 of tho Australian ballot bill, regarding cortificates of nomination, was properly followed by tho gentlemen who nominated Mr. Weir as a candidate of tho eitizen: The 1 reads: nomination shall “The certificate of contain the name of tho office for which each person is nominated, vlace of business and number of residence, and shall designate in not more than five words the party or prineiple which such con vention, committeo or primary meeting rep " The relators claimed that tho ning of the section was cl , that it was mand th rk, whon everything larly done, to place the nume of izens’> opposite Mr. Weir's name. For the defense it was claimed that thero 1810 such party as the citizens, that it did not cast 1 per cent of the vote atthe last elec. tio law requires, In opposition t this it was stated that tho nomination by tho citizens was by potition and that the term *Citizens” desicnated the principle of the organization. This and many other ramifica tions of the same argument we brought forward, In rendering the dec that the petition or certif] filed by the citizens wa ity with the law, and, wi! the ety elerk, it was not a matter of his own volitioll whethor he shoutd pat the designa- tion “ciizen” after Mr. Weir's name. Tho court held that so long as noattempt was made to take the name of any existing p litical organization, any dissatisficd citizens had a right to meet, call their party what they pleased, and also a right to be repre sented on the oficial ballot. No objecti in threedays, as the law quires, to the use of the term, and the el was accordirgly ordered to place it opposite Mr. Woir's pame.
