The independents ask in one single election that we shall go from Wakeley to Magney, Doane to Minahan and Hopewell to Osborne. Any one of the three alternatives is nauseating, but three of them at once is simply unbearable.

A CORPORATION SCHEME, Five Omaha lawyers have united with five Lincoln lawyers in a call for a state convention of lawyers at Lincoln tember 10, to recommend a non-partisan candidate for nomination at the hands of both the old parties for the office of oppose Joseph W, Edgerton the inde- pendent nominee, Ostensibly the pur- pose of this convention of barristers is to divorce the supreme court from politics and make it non-partisan. Really it is a schome on the part of the corporations to ussist in elevating a democratic lawyer to the supreme bench vho shall bo satisfactory to the ratlronds of Nebraska. Not satisfled with their work two years ago when they forced the vetirement of Judge Reese and seriously injured the ropublican party, the railroads are now attempting by the specious plen of mak- ing a non-partisan judiciary, to hold the influence thoy possess in the highest tribunal of the state, It will bo very casy for the corpora- tions to influence the action of the pro- posed convention of They have a salaried representative in every county seat in Nebraska and local attor- neys at every village in tho Where more thun one line passes through a county each rond has its own attorney, There are not less than five hundred law, in Nebraska in the employ of the various railways of the thorneys. state. state. Each of these men is provided with passes, an expense account and renumeration for political as woll a3 legitimate scrvices, John M, Thurston at Omaha, T. M. Marquette at Lincoln, and J. B. Hawley at Omaha, represonting the three principal corpot- 1ons, can mass from 300 to 500 lawyers at any point in the state within forty- eight hours. Any attorney in good standing is eligible to membership of the proposed convention at Lincoln, and as a matter of course, that convention can and will be used in the interest of the railronds, Suppose. however, the call were 1ssued in good faith for the purposes set forth, which it is not, nothing can be said in i4s favor at this time. For twenty-four years the republicans have regulariy nominated and elected justices of the supreme court. During all that time these lawyers have made no effort to creato a “non-partisan judiciary.” The proposition has from time to time been mado by the minority pa but has been as often spurned by the republic The minority is usually the organization which favors non-partisan candidates beeause in no other way can the minor- re a share of the offices, Why should the policy pursued for twenty-four years be so suddenly de- clared evil? The democratic party in Nebraska is ina hopeless minority. The disaffec- tion which makes the independents strong enough to cause apprehension is more wide-soread in the democratic than in the republican ranks. Why then should the republicans seck an al- liance with democracy when the latter as nothing to lose and everything to gain and the ropublican party has everything to lose and nothing to gain? Thereare at least 75,000 loyal republi- cans in Nebraska today who will not only support but ‘will cheerfully and enthusiastically work for the sue: ces of a good republican ticket this fall. The democratic strength does not ex ceed 60,000 votes, If the democratic party names a ticket it is doubtful whether it can poll to exceed 50,000 votes. It is absurd upon 1ts face for 75,- 000 republicans to offer the 50,000 demo. crats all the benefits of the campaign merely to accomplish the defeat of 70,000 independents. It is bad politics from a republican standpoint. If the plan be carried out as outlined by tho Omaha and Lincoln lawyers the republican party simply surrenders to its old enemy with the fairest possible probability that the unholy allinnce will itself be overwhelmingly defeated by the inew party. The farmers of Ne- In'm\\u and their allies in the cities and towns far outnumber all other classes of voters in the state. If this scheme bo successful so far as naming a candidate is concornod, the gauntlet is thrown down by tho lawyers and the corporations to be taken up by the farmors. It will array ono class of our citizens against another and the chances are that it would solidify and strengthon the independent vote and resutt dis- astrously to the combine. In that event the injury to the republican party would be simply irreparable, while the demo- cratic party will have lost nothing itself and will have aided in the destruction ov serious crippling of its old-time enemy. The republican party in Nebraska has a great deal moro than a fighting chanco for success. If the convention at Lincoln on the 24th of September will nominate a clean, able lawyer who has no taint of corporation affiliations upon a ringing, ns. candid platiorm, he will poll the full strongth of the party and recall to allegiance thousands of members of the allinnee who oppose the nutional third party movement and the infamous sub- tronsury and othor schemes of the Cin- cinnati platform. Not only so, but such thoughtful democrats as desiro to pre- serve the dignity of the supreme court and can vise above partisan considera- tions will support the republican nominee to prevent the calamity of the election of an ignoramus to the high judicial office of nssocinte justice. The vepublican party ~has alvendy been drifted well on toward its ruin by the manipulations of the corporation bosses, They should he served with no- tice that leadership of the sort they fur- nish is no longer desirablo. *Hands off tho judiciary,” should be the tocsin of war and if the corporation attorneys ana managers have a particle of political senso left they will heod the demand of the people. This proposed Lincoln con- vention cannot be disguised by the gauzy cloax of & “non-partisan judi- clury,” It s & corporntion move pure and'simple and as such deserves to bo discredited by the true-blus republi- cans, us woll as the honest democrats of of Nebraska, N SHIPS, MORE AMERICA rosident Hareison is ono of the strongest beliovers in the policy of in- lureualng the merchant marine of the associate justice of the supreme court to | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE; TUES country as an absolute necessity to the oxtonsion of our foreign commerce. He frequently raferred to the subject when on his soutnern and western trip last spring, emphasizing its importance at times in forceful language, and in soveral of the speachies he made on his late visit to Vermont he alluded to it in equally strong and definite language. Under the operations of the ocenn postal bill, said the president, he hoped to see a prompt and gratifying increase of Am- erican ships upon the sea. We have too long surrenderel to other nations the carrying trade of the world, They have subsidized their lines of ships and have rendered competition by unaided lines impossible. We have the choice either to maintain our present inactivity or to promote the establishment of American lines by the same methods that other nations have pursuad. *‘For one,” said the president, “I am not content that the harbors of the world shall longer be unfamiliar to the stars floating from American ships.” In this sentiment all patriotic Americans will be in accord with President Harrison. It is by no means assuved, however, that the confidence of the president in the operations of the ocenn postal bill will be justified by results. If anything has beon accomplished or s really promissd under that measy the public is not informed regarding and stripes it, and the expression by the president of a be ac- Thero hope of sometning can hardly copted as entirely reassuring. have been statements from time to time that the proposals made by the post master general were ncceptable to ¢ tain steamship companies, and that such compunies had in contemplation the con- struction of steamships according to the conditions required by the law. A re- port not ve long ago stated that the agent in this country who is also one of the largest stockholders of aleading transatlantic lino had gone to Burope to consult other stockholders as to building one or two such steamships us the ocean postal bill calls for. But there is no practical evidence that any of these reports were well founded. It has not been announced that any Amer- ican shipbwilder has received an o:der for a vessol of either of the classes named in the moasure for an occan mail co pussed by the last congross It time that something of this kind ser is had developed if it is true that the con- ditions of the bill and the proposals made pursuant to it by the postmaster al are satisfactory to the steam- gene ship compar It has come to he very genera derstood that in order to extend and maintain our foreign commerce we must have ample transportation facilities of ourown. American steamships, as com- modious and swift as those of othe countries, must carry American goods and produce if we are to get the fuilest advantiges from our forgign commerce. The ocean postal bill was intended as the first step toward supplying this transportation, but it would seem evident that some- thing more will be required. Either this is not liberal enough or capital is afraid to invest in an enterprise de- pendent on a policy which the people may not long fsustain. At any rate the outlook for the postal subsidy plan does not appear to be particularly bright, and as the next congress will certainly not offer anything better the country is not likely to see any great development of its occan mavine for some years to come, My un- PROSECUTION OF TRUSTS. It is said that some interesting cor- vespondence is resulting from the in- structions issued by the Department of Justice at Washington to the various district attorneys to collect evidence for the prosecution of the trusts. It is ex- pected that when the federal courts are again in session proceedings will be commenced against some of the big trusts, for which the law provides two modes —a bill in equity to restrain the trust by injunction and & criminal prosecution of those engaged in it. A Washington dispatch says that thus far there has been no call by the district attorneys for assistanco in making up their cases, but such assiStance will probably bs noeded in fighting the greater trusts if the cases are pressed to a conclusion. This, it is to be expected will be done, as it certainly will be demanded by public sentiment. Tho prosecution of these combinations will bring out many novel questions of aw, and as they will employ the best legal talent they can command theso suits will contribute a great deal of valu- able matter to the records of jurispru- dence. The anti-trust law passed by the last congress contains numerous ex- pressions which will have to be inter- preted by the courts before there can be any cortainty of their legal meaning. One of the questions likely to arise in these cases whether the consti- tutional safoguard by which a man s protected from testifying agninst himsolf cnables witnesses to refuse to testify when offered the pro- tection of section 860 of the re utes, intended to protect witnesses and compel them to testify by exempting them from prosecution us the result of their evidence, This question is now in the supreme court, having arisen in a caso under the interstate commerce law at Chicago. A witness refused to tes fy and committed to prison is ised stat- by Judge Blodgett under the statute, this action being sustained on appeal by Judge Gresham, whereupon it was taken to the was supreme court, from which u decision 18 expected in October. It will make con- siderable difference in the trust cases whethor the supreme court sustains tho action of the lower courts oroverrules it, It is gratifyiug to know that the De- partment of Justice intends to fully test the law. It has been slow in reaching the decision to do this, but there is ample time during the life of the present ad- ministration to determine whether this measure of a republican congress is suf- ficient to accomplish its purpose, It WAS to bo expected thut mob vio- lence would follow the conflict of arms in Chili, and it is vather surprising that it was not more destructive to life and property than the dispatches represent it to have been. The hot blood of the people had been thoroughly aroused, and the popular thirst for vengeance on DAY, the mon who frad brought on the contest by overriding the constitution and usurping utfldywful power would not bo satisfied wit| their abandonment of the cénfiict and flight from the county, Undoubtedly, could the people have laid hands on Balma- ceda and tho#e associated with him in the usurpatign they would huve paid the penalty of their conduct with their livos, but as 1t wag the populace had to e sat- isfied with buning their homes, The congressionalist leaders appear to be manifesting ‘@ proper spirit, and they oannot be too 'disercet if they desire an early recognition of the nations. In order to deserve the confidence of the world they must show that thoy have the wisdom in thoir triumph to restore the country to ways of peace and prosperity and the courage to resist all domands for treating with a severity unbecoming the age the men who represent tho lost cause. The con- grossionalists are said to be very anx- ious to be recognized by the United nmont will doubt- s accord them recognition as soon as it is clear that they are entitled to it by re-establishing the Chilian government on a constitutional basis. $ RINTENDENT FI12PATRICK finds upon investigation that seventh and eighth grades ave maintained at a large n some of the schools. It would be money in the pockets of the taxpay- ers to pay street car fares of pupils in some instunces rather than employ teachers at the present cost. The su- perintendent should be sustained regard- less of the effect upon the salaries of principals of proper rearrangement of these grades in the schools. s expense SENATOR CARLISLE is reported to have said that the tariff investigations show un abnormally lurge discrepancy between the manufacturers’ prices and the price to the consumer in the matter of boots and shoes, There is not much political capital in that fact if true, for boots and shoes are so cheap that it hardly pays to wear half-soled or patched footwear, NeBrRASKA C11y formally opened her oxposition yesterday, and the enterprise deserves abundant success. It is tho only exposition in the state’and is held in one of the most attractive cities in Nebraska. People who go to Lincoln to the state fair next week wiil not regret it if they run over to Nebraska City before returning to the west. A GRAND jury for the coming term is clearly demanded by the situation here- abouts. Why has the judiciary neg- lected to order one? Why has the county attorney éat meokly by in face of s0 many grave chargos against public officials without taking one step toward an inquisition by the grand jury ALLEN RoOT made an important ad- mission when he said in the independent judicial convention: *“Wo have not the matorial in our party to fill theso po: tions on the beach.” He might have added ‘“nor the judgment either” in view of part of the sclections made for these important officos. IN THE face of a probable reduction of license receipts next year it behooves the Board of Education to go slow in the matter of new salaried positions, and every effort of the superintendent to re- duce expuonses deserves the cordial sup- port of its members. OVERNOR THAYER cannot set up the unsupported statements of the convicted officers of the Hastings asylum as an ex- cuse for sustaining them in office. The findings of the bourd are official, regu- lar, sustained by sworn testimeny and unanswerable. It wiLL be time enough to correct abuses in the administration of the Board of Public Lands and Buldings after the incompetent and extravagant, if not corrupt, heads of the Hustings usylum are thrown into the waste- basket. Test and Liveringhouse now admit nearly every chargo against the man- agement of the Hastings asylum in let- ters to the governor but attempt to shift the responsibility to the Board of Public Lands and Buildings. Thr election booths, it is thought, will cost $20,000 and the expense of clec- tions under the Australian ballot systom will be lavgely increased, but an honest election is possiblo and that is worth all it can possibly cost.

Southern Chivalry. Kansns Citu Jowrnal, “Liar, thief and’ drunken scoundrel!” is the kind of language that floated around in the Gieorgia legislaturo the other day. Either southern chivalry is completely dead to the world, or some Georgian is going to got hurt pretty soon. e Cause a Effect. Chidade Herald, The population of Canada is said to b in- creasing but slowly a8 compared with previ- ous yoars. Perhaps the cause of this is that more American Napoleons of financs like Barasley, Ives, Ward and 50 on are getting into jail. 5 i A Shocking Insuit, Chicago Herald, Tho poople’s party of Texas was delivered of the followiug at its recert convention : Wo doom the throats made by Europeans to withdraw thelr capital from this state an in- sulttoevery Amerivan, and should be resented by overy true patriot who has the welfare of posterity at heart. The malignity of the insult wiil be bottor appreciated when it s understood that tho capital alluded to is monoy loaned to peoplo in Texas and sccured by deods of trust, and that tho alien land law, enacted at tho insti- gation of the poople's party of Texos, ordaius EPTEMBER 1, 1801 an interost in Texas lands shall be voio. It appoars, therefore, that what Furopeans threaten is that if they can once recover the money thoy have loaned they will not lend it | again to peoplo who declare the security vold. | Tn othor words, they throaten not to lend without security, or to paople who first give security and then attempt to render it worth- less. This may be a deadly insult in the view of the lexas allianco patriot, but no doubt there aro many true patriots who will not feel called upon to resent it, —— ne of the Silver Craze. New York Epoch, Major McKinlay is ovidently dotermined to put the siiver question in the foroground of the Ohio campaign. That is a very encour- aeing indication for the prospects of n sound currency, for the reputlican candidate for governor is a very shrewd nolitician, and would hardly take the advanced ground be does agninst tho depreciated dollar it ho thought that there was any strong sontimont | among the farmers of Ohio in its favor. ‘I'his mav be taken as a slizht indication, at least, of the waning streugth of the sitver lunacy. Circumstances are against it this year, and it 18 10 be hoped that circumstances will bo reinforced by the common sense of the peo- ple. The presidont spoke with considerable force and effect on the subject at Albany the other day, and 1t is cloar that so far as the republican party is concerned the country has nothing to foar from the proposal to have froe aud unlimited silver coinago.

Ho has introduced some excel- lont reforms Jn the army, and has made a good cabinet officer. As a senator he would scarcely measure up to tho standard of Mr. Idmunds, who has loug been looked upon as one of the most distinguished tigures in the upper houso of congress. Dec S DOWN. Kansas City Journal: Few will mourn to read that Balmacedw's power in Chili is broken. The iusurgents appear to have tho bottor class of the people with them. Chicago ierald: Unless the now war ships which Balmaceda has coming to his aid shall reopen the war between bim and the congress party it is probable that the severe defeat ho has met before Valparaiso will end for a time at least revolution in that country. Both sides have exhausted their resources and seriously diminished the population. Cincinnati Commercial: In theups and downs of the Chulian rovolution Balmaceda seems o have been worsted of late. T'he re- port is that his power hus been completely overthirown, and that he himself has been trapped. However the trouble may result, or shoutd result, let_us hope the ond will s00n come and peace be restored in that dis- tressed country. New York Herald: From tho start Balma- ceda has vainly tried to uphold a tot- tering cause. He oxcited the indig- nation of tho pople by acts which thoy regarded as unconstitutional and imjurious to the public welfaro. The op- position fo his autocratic policy has steadily wuined ground, aud now, at last, he has_gone Gown under it. This is tho Story of the Chilian insurrection in a nutshell. Chicago Times: It is bootless to inquire which was the popular party. There was none. “Fhe great mass of the people tilled their ficlds or labored in the mines and said nothing. Tho insurgent was an aristocratic party, Balmacoda rose as @ demagozue. But the popular party now is, of course, the victor at Vina del Mar, whose conquering arms Valparaiso weleomed with wild huzzas, much, no doubt, as it would have received Bulmaceda had o been a victor iustead of a fugative. Globe-Democrat: From the beginning tho sympathy of the world has been with the congressional party or rovolutionists. They have ropresentod constitutional government, while President Bazlmaceda has stood for despotism and_one-man_power in its most extreme and offeasive form. Tho overthrow of that autocrat will make the role of tyrant and dictator a littlo less attractive 10 am- bitious men in the South American republics than it has been thus far, and will give liberty and law a stronger foothold. Pioncer Pross: This result will bo hailed with_satisfaction by the American people generally because they have been led to be- lieve that tho msurgents represent the prin- ciples of the popular government aguinst a ruler who has sought to_make himsolf a dic- tator by unconstitutional means. But asa atter of fact it was the congrossional party hich set out by arrogating powers in con- ot with the constitution and by denying to the president tho right to exercise the powers vested in him by that instrument. St. Paul Globe: Balmaceda would finish his five yoars' torm as president this year, and no occasion existed for his breaking with congress except that growing out of his am- Dition. to retain powar, He' commoncod his usurpations three years ugo, and the cul- mination was reached when ho announced that he should take the public funds and support the army and navy without the con- sont of congress. The SuUpreme court pro- nounced his acts illegal, and congress used the power conferred on it to impeach and dopose him. Here the split took the gun- powder form.

The caso was finally appealed to Superintendent Goudy. The new board could not agreo on director and treasurer. According (o the statutes in cas0 of 1o election tra county superintendent shall choose a director and treasurer, In this caso thero were two county superintend ents, but only ono of them appeared on the scene.

The officor called out, *Cateh him, he has stabbed me,” but the crowd stepped back to allow him to pass. Two hours lator ho was arrestod noar the city limits and brought back through the crowdod stroet, and it was thought for a time thut ho wonld suffer death at the hands of the fast organizing mob, Some one threw halfa brick at him during the excitement, and 1t strack J.
