Mr. Joseph Edgerton was candidate | for attorney general on the independent | ticket | hind fall. He ran way be- associates and s beaten by over three thousand plurality. In ¥ face of a decisive vote he trumped up a bogus claim and contested the election of Attorney General Hastings before the legislature. To make a showing joined the gang of hirclings and per- jurers that concocted the most atrocious and brazen falsehooda concern- ing the conduet of the ion in the cities of Omaha and South Omaha. Al- though he knew the election was or- derly und as fair as any that had ever been held here, he backed up the fanat- jcs and paid defamers who asserted that Omaha was in the hands of a mob on the day of election: that the streets wore running in blood and the most high-handed frauds wero porpe- trated by our election officers. These false reports were spread broad- cast over the state and created the most intenee prejudice against Omaha which at this day has not been entirely over- ot only did the bogus claim- ant counte this infamous pro- cedure, but he went down to Lincoln as oue of the fuglemen of the prohibitionists that were waging such war upon citizens and sought to disfranchise Ity and her with representa- tion. And this is the man appeals for support from Omaha on the ground of local pride. THE BEE has not yet forgotten the outrages to which Mr. Edgerton hus nance as a bogus claimant to an office to which he had no move title than he has to the High school square. Inst his wa such he come. relentloss our Douglas co leave it who given counte- TH. intelligent. need no argument that they have no hizher duty than to maintain the the dignity, the integrity, and the influence of their supreme judicial tribunal. To permit that to decline in any of these respects, by placing on the supreme bench 1n- pable or unclean men, is to invite greater peril to the interests and wel- fare of the people than could possibly come [rom any other misdirection of the popular will. - The court of last resort should stand not alone for the highest .judicial wisdom of the state, but not less for the personal worth and integ- rity of its members. No man is fit to occupy that elevated posi tion against whose churacter there can be sustained a single derogatory chavge, howover great his professional qualifi- cations, and to elect 1o that office a mun who has neither charactor nor ability would be nothing less than a crime against the commonwealth. The supreme court of Nebraska has, on the whole, an honorable vecord. [t has not ulways escaped crit- icism. There have been occasions when it has scemed to lose sight of its lofty functions and to yield to infiuences which it should never regard. But mak- ing all just allowance for human fallibility, the record of the supreme court of this state will stand in honorable compurison with ihat of any other similar tribunal in the count It should be the prid as it manifestly is the duty and interest of the people of Nebraska, to preserve this standard, to keep the highest judi- cial tribunal of the state on the elevated plane of intelligence, character and integrity it has thus far maintained, and which is necessary to render it worthy of the publie respect ALl clusses of our peo- plo ave concerned in having the supreme beuch composed of able and upright men, and none more so than the class of citizens who have placed in nomination for thut position min who professionally and personally is un- worthy to oecupy any judicial oftfice. Without qualifications as a luw- yer or character as a citizen, Edgerton would dishonor the supreme bench and bring upon the state ridicule and con- tempt. It isan insult to the intelli- gence of the people of Nebraska to as- sume that the election of such a man to the highest judicial office is possible. FREE DELIVERY E. The plan of Postmaster General Wan- amaker of extending the free delive system to smaller towns than are des nated for this service under existing law, and for the trial of which the last congress appropriated $10,000, appears to have been so far successful as to war- rant the postmaster general in recom- mending that the experiment be tinued. It is stated that in the forty or more towns where the plan has been put on trial it is found that the revenucs of the offices have greatly creased, and that while in some case: they huve not entirely met the expondi- ture, yet in every case the receipts have been larger. It is believed that on the whole the total of extra income from the whole number of towns will almost, if not quite, equal the total expenditure of the $10,000 appropriated by congr In many of the the experiment has been on trial only for a few months and con- sequently its full benefits to the peaple sorved, and hence its full revenue pro- ducing power, cannot now be fully cal- culated, It would seem that the postmaster general has lost no faith respecting the ultimate success of his plan, aed itis understooa will make a definite recom- mendation for an appropriation for this treo dolivery extension. Even should it be found, from the experiment thus far, that the additions to the revenue will not quite counterbalance the expendi- tures. In view of the fact that the trial has not been made under the best con- ditions the reported results are certainly to be arded s highly satisfactory | and encouraging. This mutter is of far more importunce to the towns now ex- cluded from the free delivery s tem than most people would lapt on first thought to sup- pose, and if the proposed plan of extension should increasa the revenue nearly to the amount of the additional expenditure the benefits to accrue to the people would justify the government in giving it wide operation at once and from yoar to year enlurging its scope, The policy of extending the facilities of REME COUL ens of Nebraska to show them The can character, and confidence, con- been in- 5. plices reg be | the postal’ servico as rapidly as practic cable, which has been carried farther by the present than by any preceding ad- ministration of the Postoffice depart- ment, finds justification :n the fact that it brings added business and added rev- The postal service is not expected 10 be self-sustaining. It never has been, except for a few years, since the organi- zation of the government. So long as enu i the annual excess of expenaitures over receipts is kept within reasonable limits, and the service continues to improve and progress, the people will not complain of the cost. Free delivery extension, according to the plan of Postmaster General Wanamaker, ought to be given o fair trial, THE PUBLIC LANDS. It is understood that the annual report of Hon. Thomas H. Carter, commis- sioner of the general land office, will not be wholly statistical in character. Tt is said that it will somewhat sharply the administration of the gen- eral land office under President Cleve- land, and presont some comparisons of the work accomplished under the j ent and the preceding administrations that will be instructive reading for all who are interested in the proper settle- ment of the public lands, There is un- questionably large opportunity for such comment and comparison, A great deal of boasting was done during the Cleve- land administration regarding the care that taken to protect the pub. lic domain against dishonest —set- tlers, but the facts that while success in this direction was small in proportion to pre- tense made, a vast amount of injustice was done to hundreds of worthy and honest settlers, The general land office was conducted under the last administ tion upon the nssumption that a la proportion of the settlers on the public domain’ were dishonest and disposed to evade the law and defraud the govern- ment, the effect being that each settler was placed at the disadvantage of being presumed guilty of evil intent until he made the contrary appe When the present administration came into power a different policy was instituted. and it has been successfully carried out without impairing any of the safeguards necessary to protect the public lands against fraud, while at the sume time dealing justly with all honest settler: President Harrison had enlightened and liberal views regarding the settlement of the public domain, and they were fully concurred in and judiciously ied out by Hon. Lewis A. Groff, the first commissioner of the general land oflice under this ad- ministration. The new policy pre- sumed settlers to be honest and well dis posed toward the government and its laws, and the results have been highly benelicial and gratifying. The statistics show that the number of agricultural and othor patents issued during the fiscal years ending June 30, 1890 and 1891, was 231,607, as against 44,443 issued during the fiscal years end- ing June 50, 1886 and 1887, an increase under the present administration of 187,164, These figures speak eloquently of the advantages of the present liberal and judicious policy regarding the pub- lic domain, which has fully protected the interests of the whole people in these lands and at the same timdexpedited their settlement. discuss was show the A- I 3AY be ull very well to counsel the farmers to hold back their grain, or to sell only so much as may be necessary to meet the current demand, but it must be remembered that it is only a very small winority of them who are in a position to follow such advice, and that class ao not nged it. The consensus of 1intelli- gent opinion is that the price of all kinds of grain will bo higher, but not immediately. It may be six months ov more before there is a decided advance, because that will come only when the European supply is about ex- hausted, and how many farmers in the United States can wait for that?

New York Tribune: Mr. Gladstone's wonderful powers show no symptoms of de cadence. His speech to the Liberal Federa tion at Newcastle was a marvellous perform- ance for m man nearing his eighty-second birthday. He traversed the entire rango of pending politicaland politico-social questions, with a lucidity and lofty rangeof thought that must extort admiration from nis bitter- st foes.

St. Louis Republler Mr. Gladstone's speech at Newcastle shows that when a man loves liberty and humanity, age which weakens others makes him stronger. This man of over S0 years is in the van of the col umn that is marching into the twentieth century, and among them all there is not a firmer step or a stronger voice than his, What he says now is heard round the world within less than a day after he has said it, and it will continue to be heard for many years to_come. ‘This kind of “success in life’ is worth having, for it lasts through life and long outlusts it.

Loxvoy, Oct. 5.—The newspapers hero denounce the coroner for keeping secret the depositions taken at the inquest as to tho cause of the death of Lydia Miller, tho actress who suicided last week. Consider- ablo interest is being taken in the case. At the inquest Saturday, Lord Charles Mon- taguo, brother of the duke of Manchester, testified to having been on very inti- mate terms with the deceased. = Since the inquest mysterious allusions have boe made in the newspapers to & certain high personawe, understood to bo Prince Albert Victor, eldest son of the prince of Wales, who also is said to have had intimate rela- tions with the dead girl, The Star says Lord Charles camo forw at tho inquest and assumed the role of particular friend in order to screen another.

Senator Vest of Missouri, who has dropped into town for a fow da; is not among those who wax eloquent over the presidential boomlet of Senator Gorman. Senator Vest says there aro so many uncertainties ho does not think it safe to predict who will be the democratic nominee, but he will go so far as saying that there should be no uncertainty concerning his senatorinl colleague. While the Missouri senator accords the Marylander full credit for his special services against tho vill,providing for honest olections he does not think Gorman is in touch with his party on the question of freo trade. As Vest thinks this is the paramount question and should be made the great {ssue of 1502 to tho exclu sion of election bills, silvor and genoral com merce, he does not consider Gorman as any way aualified to champion such a cause. He believes the Marylandor is tinctured with pro- tective idens. Vest's views are in number of conservative democrats, who re call that Gorman was instrumontal in fram ing many of the “straddles” which preceded the positive committal of the party to radical “revenue reform’ for free trade by Cleve- land. Coming, as this does, from one of Gor- man's brothor democratic senators and ono of nis closest personal friends, it will bo something of & check to the Washington and Baltimore enthusiasts who maintain a literary bureau for Gorman and have even taiked of holding & public meeting line with those of a here to give expression to the sentiment in | his favor, Senator Vest says that Cleveland may receivo the votes of Missouri in the con- vention. He would regard it as a certaiuty he says, if it wero not for the “stuffed pro- phets” anti-silver lotter, but even with that no thinks the Missourians will shut their ayes to issues and show @ united front for oveland.
