IT LOOKS as if Christ Specht was ho- ing investigzated for boodling instead of Morearty. OvER in Towa it is now chiefly a ques- tion of how great a plurality Wheelor will have when the votes are counted.

Wiz must retire barnacles and boodlers and place our city and county affairs in the hands of business men who value their reputations and know how to manage their own affairs successfully. THERE is nothing small about Mr. Edgerton. First, he only wanted to be attorney general; then ho concluded to become chief justico with an eye at long range on the American house of lords. RAIN does not dampen the ardor of the Fifth Ward Kickers' club. Tar BrE wishes on behalf of good govern- ment that other wards would set up a similar consorship of public acts and public ofticials. Tite man who is elected judge of the supreme court in November will bo the chiof justice during the last two years of his torm of office. What sort of a figure will a small bore attorney like Edgerton cut in that exalted position? THE city of Omaha has been in tho hands of corporations and contractors long enough, Taxpaying citizens must now come to the front 1f they do not want to be swamped and their proporty mortgaged beyond redemption.

So faras THE BEE has been able to ascertmin Judge Post's decisions have for the most part given general satisfaction to the peonie of his district, which for years has be intensely anti-monopoly. Judge Post enjoys the implicit confidence of the people of his own district, who for three successive terms have elected him to the beneh,. He would have been r d this year, notwithstanding the fact that alarge mi ten more cases cisions are m jority of the voters in his dis trict are farmers, had he not been with- drawn from the local judicial race when he was endorsed for the supreme bench. The cuttlefish tactics of the Edgerton contingent cannot, however, deceive in- telligent people as to the character and superior qualitications of Judge Post by i a false alarm to divert attention from the unpalatable teuth concerning the misfit which they are trying to foist upon the supreme bench, when he really has not the legal ability required of a county judge in a backwoods district. THE UISTRICT JUDGES. The republicans of Douglas county will commit a serious blunder if they follow the examplo set by the democratic judicial convention that sceks to over vide public sentiment as regards our local judic Although republ prospects of success in this district are very encouraging, the great mass of our citizens will favor the retention upon the bench of the present judges. The po- litic and graceful thing would be for the republicans to endorse tho seven judges that now occupy the district bench. Such a course would not only in- sure the eloction of Messrs, Davis, Fs- tello and Hopewell, but it would also very matertally strengthen the republi- can candidates for county and cit offices, providing always that the are men of integrity’ and ability. The only objection that can be raised against such a course would be the in- dividual ambition of aspirants for judi- cial honors who imagine that a nomina- tion at the hands of a convention is a guarantee of election. As a matter of act a political nomination oporates only as o recommendation to members of the party to place their X mark opposite the candidates’ name on the official ballot. Nothing more; noth- ing loss. It 18 a well known fuct that the great majority of republicans are satisfied with the present bench, and thousands of them will ignore the action of the con- vention unless it is in accord with this view. The democratic convention has defiantly ignored public sentiment, but republicans should not emulate their action, If, however, tho endorsement of Mossrs. Doane, Wakeley. Ferguson and Irvine is deemed unrepubiican the con- vention can materially strengthen our republican judicial candidates and the city and county ticket by leaving at least three of the judicial places blank 50 that republicans who desire to retain the present judiciary may exercise that privilege without fecling that they hayo holted any part of the ticket. ar, THE ATTACK ON THE CENSUS, Reference was made a few days ago to the attack on the eleventh census b; the special committee of the Civil Ser vice Reform League. The motive for this was the fuct that all employes of the census bureau were not subjected to the regulations of the civil service law, the accusation being that in consequence of appointments for partisan reasons incompe- tent men got into the service and henco a great number of inaccuracies in tho enumeration which render the census untrustworthy. In evidence of this the committee cited a fow cases of reported incorrect enumeration. Superintendent Porter has responded, in an interview, to these criticisms upon the work of his office in a way that will satisfy faiv-minded men that the com- mittee of the Civil Service Reform league has npot been just. He points out that in view of the fact that the supervisors and thewr office staffs probably numbe 500 porsons, and the enumerators com- prised an army of about 50,000, the fow instances of atleged incorrect cited by the committce must be re garded as a vindication of the eleventh It is indeod remarkable that aft what must be presumed to have been a most thorough inquiry the committee found no more causes of complaint. As to the state- ment that some of the enumerators men who ure ready for odd jobs given in the way party jobs usually are, Mr, Por- ter pointedly suggests that the commit- teo apparently overlooked the fact that it is impossible to obtain the highest grade of talent with the tempting offer of two weeks’ work once in ten years at a compensation varying from $1.25 to $3 per day, The superintendent indicates several points in which the report of the committee is manifestly unjust, and ex- presses the hope that every fair-minded democrat and every census-doubting re- publican, if there be any of the latter, will reid every line of the commtttee’s roport und then pass judgment on the manner in which the eleventh census has been taken, Disparagement of the census has heen | carried toan extent ¢ withou warrant.

A REFUBLICAN YEAR. All the signs indicate republican suc- cess this year in the will be necessary to Fepublican victory in the presidential contest of 1892, In Ohio McKinley oly and tne republic: stutes whoso vote is carrying on a remark- nd brilliant campaign, ns are united, enthusi- ustic and confident far as the state ticket is concerned. The third 'ty is cutting a small figure, and cording to trustworthy report is grow- ing weaker daily. The unfortunate torial renders somewhat cortain the result as to the legisiature; but the chances ave that the republicans will control that body and that if Sen- ator Sherman is not to himself his successor will be an equally sound and thorough republican, The gen- | prosperity prevailing in the state among all classes of the people is such a refutation of last ratic prophesics of evil ssent arguments of that little weight with thoughtful voters. In Massachusetts, campaign {8 only in the outlook for licans is fair and Whatever factional feeling may have been caused by the nomination of Me. Allen has passed away, and the prevail- ing sentiment in the party, so far as can bo judged from the expressions of the leaders, is for a united and harmonious effort to place the state squarely in the republican column preparatory to the national battle of next year. It is pos- sible that a mistake was made by tif® republican candidate for governor in declining to meet the democratic candi- date in joint debate, but the challenge on behalf of the latter was not allowed to pass without response, and now it is he who declines to debate. It is not ap- rent that this matter can or ought to have any influence in the campaign. Mussachusetts is a republican state, buta democratic governor was elected last year because fully 50,000 republican voters aid not vote. There will be no such number neglect their duty this year, and if the party ol its full strength, as now seoms well assured, the state will give an old time republican plurality. The republican situation in [owa is steadily improving. Reports from all parts of the state show that re- publicans who voted for Boies two year ago are falling into line in support of Wheeler, ana are among the most earnest and enthusi- astic in working for republican victory this year. A realization of the import- nee of keeping Iowa in the republican column on national questions, and of the certainty that democratic control would mean a gerrymander of the congres- sional districts and the choice of presi- dential electors by such districts, is compelling the independent republicans to see that in the present exigency their first and highest political duty is to be with the party that is right on the national issues. New York is not indispensable to re- publican success next year, but a victory there for the party in November would practically settle the result of the contest of 1892 The campaign in the Empirs stato s pro- gressing most favorably for the ropubli- cans. The party is united and its bril- liant, earncst und aggressive young leader is infusing a great deal of his own enthusiasm and zeal into its ranks What is even more significant and promising is the fuct that many inde- pendents ave publicly announcing their determination to support tho republi- can candidates, and thousands of these voters will this year be found ar- rayed againsy the power of Tammany, distinctly dominant in the construction of the democratic ticket. Such is the encouraging outlook for the republican party in the four states where campaigns of vital importance, from a natioval point of view, are in It ought to stimulate republi- other states, and especially whorevor their supremacy may be threatened by a third party, to spare no effort to hold their states in the republican line this year. If all the states legitimately counted as republi- can cast their vote for that party in No- vember next there will be little causo for doubt regarding tho result of the contest in 1802 § —— What's the Matter With the Girl ?
