This much may be regarded as settled. The from that section, whom will be chosen. These of Crisp of Georgia and Millin of Two democrats, Springer of and Bynum of Indiana, are tioned as candidates, and i8 also a candidate in the southwest, but as the situation now rs th is absolutely no chance for either of these. The real fight will be between Mills and Crisp, with the probabilities in favor of the former, but if the contest shall be as hot and bitter as now likely Me- Millin may carry off the pr Hut in any event a southern man will preside over the next house of rep- resentatives, and 8o far as results concerned it will make precious little difference which one of the ecandidate from that section is elected to the tion, Either of them can be fully d pended upon o organize the house in the interest of every policy for which the democracy of the south contends, A majority of the of th house will have for their cha south- orn men and the best committees will have majority of southern demo- crats on them. The representatives of northeri democracy of course cannot bo ignored and they will doubtless be given a few places of responsibility by way of keoping them but th positions of greatest power and the op- portunities for making political prestige wiil be gathered in by the democrats of the south. This has been the uniform practice, and no departure from it will be tolerated by the dominant wing of the democratic party, When Mr. Carlisle was first chosen speaker his disposition was to deal generously with northern democrats, but he was not permitted to do so, and in order to maintain his standing with the southern wing of the purty he found it nec to give nearly all the best places to the repre sentatives from that section. There will be bargaining in the coming contest, but it will chiefly with the men from the south. Northern dem- ocrats, as heretofore, will be given what remuins over after their southern brethren have been satisfac- torily provided for. The democratic party continues tobe controlled from the south, and the wishes and demands of that section of it are paramount. [t true that the southern democrats have a claim to this domination in the fact that they have the abiest men in the party, but it is a question for northern voters to consider whether it isdesirable to have their interests and welfare com- mitted to the care of men whose senti ments, aims and aspirations are purely sectional. * We shall soon have another proof of this in the organization of the houso of representatives, and in the course of that body regurding national questions. £ THE FRONT. oare three one of Mills Me- northern Tllinois men- there candidates aro Pexns, Tennessec. appe seems are pos committees me a good natured, ssary is COUNCILMEN-AT-LARGE. The nine councilmen that are to be elected by our citizens on the 3d of No- vember are to be voted for at e and must run the gauntlet of our entire vot- ing population. The main object of clecting one-half of the council at large has been to secure a better class of men than arc usually put forward for the po- sition by the ward iicelers and pot house politic It was expected that e nomi ans, ch party would ato the very best men that could be induced to serve in the coun- cil regardless of where they lived. Unfortunately for the interests of the city the number of councilmen-at- large has heen fixed to correspond with the number of wards. 'I'he outcome has been that the city convention, instead of selecting the very best material, regard- less of residence, has permitted cach ward to name a candidate, and by the trafficking that prevails in conventions the candidates who could command the support of a majority of theic own wards wero endorsed by the whole con- vention. Our councilmen-at-large have thus been made out of the inferior timber from which each ward caucus makes its choice, and the object of the law has been frustrated com- pletely It true that the voters at large have in several instances defeated the most obnoxious ward candidates and elected two or three men from one ward. The fact is, however, that the geneval average of our councilmen rgo has been composed of no better material than the ward councilmen, and whilo the citizens had theiv choice of the best on each party ticket there were no hest men to pick from. It was simply a Hob- son’s choice. The prevailing practice of allowing oach ward to name one ndidate no matter how incompotent or disreputa- ble he may be, should bo broken up, snd the best men should be placed on the ticket regurdless of the wards in which they live. Each ward hus its own rep- resentative in the councii and the councilmen-at-large should represent the whole city, and not merely the pre cinet where his home is located. Un- less this is done, tax paying citizens regardless of party will be compelled to repudinte the work of the conventions, and putin the field a ticket for coun- cilmen-at-large that will be composed of men of integrity and capacity who will transact the business of the city without scheming to enrich themselves at the expense of the people. is IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION. Senator Chundler, chairman of the senate committee on immigaation, some time ago propounded some questions to the public with a view to ascertaining whether the next congress should enaet further legislation vestricting immigea- tion to the United States, Although the law, as it now stunds, appears to be working very satisfactorily, information comes from Washington that seve. amendments to the immigration law have prepared for presenta- tion to congress, and that there is no doubt the question will be brought up oarly in the session, It iu stated that Senator Chandler has received a great number of replies to his questions, and it is understood that he and the other members of his committes, which had been which seems altogether | authority to continue its labors durin tho rocoss of congress, will examine | these replies and will draw from them, as well as from direct personal investigation and the previous reports of congressional committees, the knowl- ry for the preparation of o comprehensive measure to be submitted edgo necessd to congr One requirement that is seon to be demanded is provision for the proper in- spection of the Kuropean immigrants that come into the country through Canada. It is stated that large num- bers of them have come in that way this year, and among them nave been many who would not have been allowed to enter the country through our ports. Some difficulty is likely to be found in devising plan for fully guarding the line of our northern fron- tier, but obviously something should be done to prevent objectionable persons coming into the United States through Canad It is thought that more strin- gent provisions are necessary for the ex- lusicn of paupers, felons, imbeciles a assisted immigrants, but there is reaily very little ground for fault-finding with theoperation of the existing law with ve- spect to these classes, The testimony of the immigration commissioners is that of more "than 25,000 arrivals at Philadelphia during the last fiscal year there was not found a single violation of the law, and that while doubtless some of the classes subject to oxclusion sue- rded in getting in at New York, and perhaps other ports, the number was so small as not to be at all serious. 1t also thought that more stringent pro- necessary for the of contract labor immi- of whom, it said, the committee has ascertained that from 10,000 to 20,000 have arrived at our ports since the beginning of the year. If it beu fuct, as rapre- sented, that there are agents of corpo tions abrond contracting for labor there can be no question as to the necessity of providing more stringent regulations for the exclusion of this class of immigrant. The senate committee has received numerous suggestions of methods for restricting immigration, but it is note- worthy that there is a marked abatement of the demand for legislation that would put a stop to it altogether. There still a few who 3 would be the wiser policy, but they are mot proclaiming their opinion very loudly in the face of the overwhelming sentiment that this country cannot afford, for any reason, to close its ports against the worthy people of other lands who come here in good faith to make homes for themselv A PROMINENT citizen desires through THE BEE to eall attention to excessive vater rates charged to private consum- ersin the city of Omaha as compared with cities of equal or less population. There is no doubt that this complaint is well grounded. The question is what can or should be done to procure a re- duction of water rents, The charter which was granted in 1881, when this city had only 80,000 population fixed tho rates which the water company. may be permitted to charge to private consumers, and those rates have pre- vailed ever since. The company still has a twelve-year contract with the city, and unless that contract is violated by it the city has no remedy. We do, how- ever, believe that it would be to the interest of the company to adjust its rates to the scale that prevails in Kan- sas City, St. Paul or Denver. They would certainly make up the difference of the decrease by a material increase in the number of patrons. I 15 announced that an organization of tin plate maunufacturers and dealers has been effected, with the object of ae- quiring reliable information vespecting the progress and development of the manufacture of tin plate, and to watch legislation affecting the interests of con- sumers. This is the first important movemont in evidence of the great in- terest that is being taken in the estab- lishment of the tin industr in the United States, and it is very significant that so many as 300 firms show.d ve represented in the association. No other industry in this country grew so rapidly as this has done, and its development from this time forward promises to be phenom- enal. In this respect, at least, the Mc- Kinley bill is alveady most completely vindicated, is a is visions clusion grants, are ex- ave Tue annual convention of the Iowa state farmers’ alliance next week promises to be of unusual interest. The contest between the radical and con- servative elements in the organization is certain to be renewed, and the result will determine whether the alliance is to continue on the lines it has thus far pur- sued and thus depart wholly from its original purpose. The conservatives have hitherto been victorious, but they have u harder fight on hand now than ever hefore, and the most sincere iriends of the alliance are apprehensive. It is to be hoped their fears will prove to be un- founded, for the alliance will cease to be a power in the interest of the farmers the moment it becomes u political ma chine to be operated by demagogues for their personal advantage.

Washunaton Post. Utah's chances of statehood are not im- proving at a very rapid pace.

That is a good deal to say for any English statesman. His gray matter is in full play. POINTS ON STATE POLITICS, Sutton Advertiser: Judge Post's record is spotless and needs no defenso; better yet he was nominated by the Reese influence, which was opposed to Cobb. Gothenburg Indopendent: Those demo erats who, since the declination of Broady, tho nominee for supreme judge, endorse Ed- gerton, are not doing so bocause they endorse the principles of the third party, but because of their hatred for republicans. They nave no love for thealliance party, but think it will down tho republicans and thavs what they are after. Tekamah Burtonian: The calamity organs that are endeavoring to lio Judge A. M. Post into an allance with. corporations and rail- ronds are either ienorant or they wilfully ignore the facts in tho case. You fellows who are inclined to be misled by theso org shovld investigate the vote and see whether the railroad faction which followed Cobb at first or the anti-monop faction which fol- lowed Reese at first cast the ballots that nominated Post. Holdvege Citizen: The more peoplo find out about Judge Iost the better the nomina- tion seems to suit. Judge Poston the su premo bench would bo an houor to the state, und sustain the high reputation it has not in the past. His personal character is abovo reproach, while bis career on the bench has shown him to be an upright iudge who has not the slightest taint about him. That nhe has a high appreciation of the offica ho as " pires to may be seen in his speech of accopt- ance when he says that the constitution and law and tke oath of ofice that he tukes should be the platform of *he candidate for judicial oftice. Grand Island Independen the democratic state central cures the election of Post. A good many democrats will not vote atall. A largo por- tion of thon will work and vote for Post and very few will join the Edgerton crowd. The seusible men as a general thing are ashamed of the idea, to disgrace tho highest court by making this thivd rate pettifogger a member of it. And we are convinced that even many allionco men will not vote for him. The great victory of the democrats, which the en- thusiasts of the late democratic state con. vention propliesied, has already dissolved it self into thin air, as we preaicted it would, and Edgerton will be defeated by a two thiras majority for Post. Romember this our prediction, and sce whother it will be real- ized or not. Fremont Tribuno: The action of committee se- For nine years Post has sat upon the aistrict bench in this county, and during this time hundreds of our citizens have been in his court, either as wit nesses, litigauts or spectators, and their ad miration for the man and the judge has al most invaviably been won. He commands universal respect for his dignified vet affable vearing, his clear impartility in the admin- istration of justico vetweon plaintiffs and de fendants, and, not the least of all, his prompt and rapid disoatch of business. No juage in Nobraska has a greater capacity for court work than he and Dodge county taxpayers have learned to appreciate this consideration on his part for their burdens. Judge Post has never permitted protonged sessions of nis court to entail expunse and taxation upoun the peaple. Columbus Tolegram (dem.): The decision of the democratic atate central commiiteo ot to mominate ®.eandidate for supreme judgo was ovidently in the interest of Edgertou, the independent candidate. Many of the committes arg aaid to have openly d clared it to be their iatention to support the South Omaha candidate, The Telogram still thinks that it is suieidal poliey for the party to neglect to nomindté’ a candidate und thus seek to keep up its odganization, but it will ouly be temporary 4nd the party may como out ull right in theedll. As it Is, democrats are now free to exeréiih their choice between Post and E.igerton, ifid this will not be dis tasteful to wost of (the democrats u Platt county. Some of them will vote for Edgor- ton, while more will, out of local pride and Rood feeling for Post, cast their ballots for the republican candidate.

NEw Yonx, Oct. 8.—Twenty of the leading cigar manufacturers of this city held a meot- ing yesterday in the oftice of T. H. Allen. The object of it was carefully concealed and all informution regarding it was witheld from reporters. It was learnad, however, that the meeting was held to nerfect plans for tho formation of a_ gigantic cigar trust to include all the prominent cigar wanu- facturers in the United States.

M. Post, republican nominee for the supreme bench, was in Omaba yesterday. To a reporter Judge Post said: *“The failuro of the democratic central committee to nomi- natea man to take tho place made vacant by the withdrawal of Judge Broady will add a great mar to the republican ticket in Platte county. I believe that more demo crats will vote for me than for Judge Edger ton over the entire state.” Mr. C. J. Phelps of Schuyler, a leading domocratic attorney of Colfax county, was in Omaha, und while talking with o roporter at the Millard said: “Judge Post will ceivo almost the solid democratic vote of Colfax county and of his entire distvist. Ho is an upright judge and a fair minded, henest man. [ have had many a legal fight' beforo tho bar with Judge Post when he used to practice law, and I bave always been on the obposite sidé from him upon political quos- tions that divide the two great pavties, but I tako pleasure in saying that the people who know Judge Post love him for his personal worth and for his abii- ity as a judge. The talk that you may hear about Judge Post bemg n corporation and raiiroad candidate is tho rankest kind of misrepresentation, 1 have known Judge Post for years and [ know that he is as freo from anything of that kind as any man could bo. He'is a man who derides a caso in court according to the law that applies 10 it. Ho recognizes no political party, no friend, no ouemy before the var. It is all & question of law and justico with Judge Post. Tho demo- crats of our district simply scout the idea of voting for such a nonentity as Idgerton. His election would be a disgrace to the stute of Nebraska.” “I have known Judge Post by reputation for several years,” said Henry Pundt, “and know him to be'a good man, and I think [ shail voto for him. Idgerton may be all all vight but I don’t thinic he is the man for the place.” I havon't decided what T will do,” said W. A. Paxton. *'If Broady had_stuck to it we could have elected biui, but T don't like the idea of voting for Post.”” “Will you voto for Edgerton " *“*Uncle Billy” casta with- ering look at the questioner s he exclaimed, “Not by a ——!
