CONGRE; It is deplorablo but nevertholess true that a wajority of the candidates nomi- nated for councilmen-at-large on all the tickets are below the avernge for busi- ness capacity and experience in public affairs. The taxpayers still have a chanco to bottor themselves by getting up petitions for any prominent citizens that may be considered available in the present emergency. But they must act promptly and filo their petitions with the eity clork before tomorrow night. THE running expenses of the city of Omaha approximate $300,000 per annum. The receipts from general taxes will reach $900,000, Should the bond pro- positions carvy there will be over $1,000,000 received in addition to the ordinary rovenue and special taxes, These figures should lead every citizen to participate inthe coming olection and be n sufficiont incentive to him to insist upon the election of men of integ- rity and business capacity to fill all municipal offic OrPeN Lerrer HINMAN of North Platte, tho well known railroad anti- monopolist, endorses the policy of a half-baked editor in these parts who is devoting himself to the effort of sefing an ignoramus upon the supreme bench and maligning the good name of a man who for twenty yoars has been an up- right citizen, a faithful husband and a model father, und for nine years an in- corruptible judge.

The train froighted with the products of Nebraska's soil is speeding eastward, and its progress from point to point incrensing popular interest. In Il nois thousands saw and wondered at the exhibit, learning therefrom the resources and capa Nebraska than they had over before hoard or conceived of. In Indiana greater numbers visited the exposition on wheols and marveled at the display.

The train of cercals and fruits and other products is un object lesson as to the resources and capubilities of Nebraska imore useful than volumes of obsery weiting and statisvies, which ave always taken with some allowance. Thero is no exaggoration in the products exnib- ited in thoso curs, no ehance for a doubt that they are genuine. They speuk for themselves, aud the farmers who comvare them liko products of their own will have no difficulty detor- mining the relative merits. Thus far the Nebrasea train has had most grati fying suceess, and it is roasonable to ox- pect that its journey eastward will be equally and perhaps even more trium- phant. Theve should bo greater inter- ost exhibited in New England to seo the products of the west than in the middlo stutes. It is not to bo doubted that the enterprise will prove profitabie to Ne- brasku. eastern with ection in EIGUTEEN DOLLARS A DAY. Under the Australinn ballot law the city of Omaha has been platted into lty-eight voting precincts. Kach of these polling places is to have seven judges and clerks of election, making in all 626 clection officials, At $6 a day, which cortainly is very pay, these judges and clerks of election would cost the taxpayers of Omuha city $3,756 or about three times as much as we have ever paid for tho privilege of any previous election. But the politi- cal heelers and ward polit do not propose to let us off so easy. There are to be three elections in one —on the third of November—woe are to vote for state and county officers, for city oflicers and city bonds and members of Board ot Education and school boni propositions. Thiswill necessitate the use of three or four ballot boxes at each * polling placo. We understand that the legol advisors of our city and county are of opinion that the law con- templates the payment of 36 to each clerk and judge of election out of the county treasury, $6 out of the city treasury and out of the school fund—s$18, In other words for one day’s work to each of the 626 judges and clerks of election, Just think it, oighteen dollars a day! Will tuxpayers submit to down- vight vobbery Will any election ofticer have the audacity to claim eighteon dollars for a day’s service? We venture to say that three thousand competent men are will- ing to serve for six dollars a day if they could only get the ear of the city coun- cil and commissioners, ibera ians the of such AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK, Trustworthy advieos from [owa speak most encouragingly of the republican pects. Within the past weok the ign on the part of the republi- cans hus become more nggrossive, and there has everywhoere an nug- mented attendance at their meetings, The furmers, having al urgent de- mand vpon their time than when their crops were 0 be cared for, are enabled to give more attention to poli ties, and the information is thav they have never bofore shown groater interest in political affaivs. The fact that the vepublican meetings are being much more largely attended than at the earlier stage of the campaign is very significant of the sentiment of the agri- cultural element. It is to be presumed that they were not altogethor indiffer- t to what was going on even whiie much of their time was occupied by the domands of their growing and ripened crops. Thoy were reading the political discussions and weighing their worth in their own practical, com- mon sense way, and now that they are so far relieved of the pressuce of personal concerns as to be able to show on which side thoy stand, the ovidence is that the very lurge majority of them still adhere to republican principles and policy. It is entirely natural that as intelli- gent and discriminating citizons they should do so. The democratic party promises no benefits or advantages that ild warrant them in tidns- & their support to it. That party talks of giving relief from tariff burdens lmthuul being able to show thut any heen we | foct along the route is marked by a steadily | by | b3 THE euch burdens exist, and in face of the fact that nearly all the necessaries af- »d by the tariff are cheaper now than they were a year ago. It is pledged to tho free and unlimited of silver, which would speedily reduce the currency of the country to the singlesil- ver standard, drive gold out of circula- tion, diminish the purchasing power of the dollar, demoralize the financial s tem, and impair the credit of the gov- ernment. The thrifty farmers of Iowa do not desire to exchange their products for a depreciated dollar, and as honest men thoy no wish to pay their debts with such a eurrenc; They know that the economic and financial policy of the republican party has been vindicated that the of evils to result from it has utterly failed, and standing at the threshold of what promises to be an era of unprecedentod prosperity. they will not turn their backs upon the political party that has done more during the last quartor of a cen- tury for the material progress of the colnage - have results, Bropoesy | country than was done by all the parties wes of our history. ct of republican Towa weeted to grow brighter as the day of election draws near. There have recontly boen a few defections of more or less promi nent individuals which had o stimulating effect upon democratic hopes, but it is not certain that these p control uny but their own. At any rato they can doubtless be spared. The obvious duty of the vepublican leaders, and they appear to fully app ciafe this, is to keep up to the end a vigorous and ssive fight. THE DUTY OF SELECTION, There are twenty-seven gentlemen in the field for councilman-at-large: fifteen for justices of the peace, and fifteen for members of the Board of Eduecation. These gentlemen appeal 1o the city at large for votes. Tho question of ward boundaries does not enter into the can- 5. The purpose of the law in providing that these oflices shall be filled by the electors of the entire city instead of by wards and distriets is to prevent the election of ward bummers to important positions. It was tho theory of the le islaturo that the people generally would malke better selections than the wards or districts, and therefore men of bad reputation and want of business integ- rity would not be so likely to get into the council and Board of Edueation and cost mills would not be created where justices’ oftices are needed. To a certain extent this wise of the law has been nuilified, and we permit the wards to lect their nominees for councilmen-at-large. It is diflicult to bring the conventions to any other theory of selection because one ward delegation may trade with all the rest and 80 & combine be formed pre venting the entire convention from pas- sing upon the individual merits of can- didates for the council. It is not so easy to nominate members of the Board of Education and justices in this way be- cause the number to be clected does not conform to the number of wards in the city. At the polls, however, the people may be governed by the spirit of the luw, and they should absotutely refuse to con- sider ward boundaries. A bad man should be defeated no matter what ward he from. It tho duty of ') citizen to make spec- ial inquiry into the relativ qualifications of all the candidates for all these offices. In the performunce of their duties these officers touch the peo- ple very closcly. 4m their hands are cn- trusted individual and collective inter- ests of great importance. No man should be permitted to go into the council who is cither dishonest or incompetent. No man should be elected a member of the Board of Education who is not by nature and traini; rentleman, incorruptible and fully in sympathy with our sys of public schools. No man should be elected a justice of the peace whom it would be unsafe or unwise to trust with any private or public duty where good sense, integrity and some knowledge of law aro required. These several of- fices too frequently regarded as of minor importance must not be overlooked by voters. With the men who are elected this vear to these positions the public will be obliged to leave interests which touch both public and private pros pority. in all the previous yc The favorable prosp be success may huve 'S0NS votes purpose comes ev COLONEL CARSON of the Philadel phia Ledsier, who is keeping close waten of the Ohio campaign and studying popu- lar sentiment in that stave. w paper regarding the senatorial issue that while Foraker is popularas astump spauker he has not that hold upon the people which John Sherman has. He rinks if the senatorial succession could be decided by popular vote Sherman would ro- ceive U0 per cent of the republican vote against all comers, und just now, in view of the democratic declaration on silver, Colonel Carson believ ho would receive 75 per cent of the entire vote of the state. The trouble is that those chosen to the legislature do not always carry out the popular will, and there are men running for the legislature in districts where the popular sentiment is for Sherman who will vote for For- aker. It is also said that there are can- diaates pledged for Sherman who will vote for Foraker, It is this unfortunate situntion of affuirs that renders uncer- tain the result of the legislative elec- tion, though Colonel Carson thinks the chances favor the republicans, by reason of the strength of MecKinley. It would seem to be a safe prediction that if the next legislature of Ohio is republican Senator Sherman will be his own sue- cossor, for the party in Ohio would hardly retire him aganst the almost unanimous desire of the republicans of the rest of the country that ho be con- tinued in the senate. It is unquestion- able thatall republicans, except the Ohio supportevs of Foraker, would regard the retivement of Sherman from the senate a8 a misfortune to the country.

The delegates at presert at Omubia come chiefly from the west, as distirgaished from the southern part of the transmississippi region, and it may bo oxpected that the southern session will be attended chiefly by southern delogatos. This is 10 itself an object of semi-annual sessions. It is desirable that tho congress should be composed of delogates from all the transmis- sissippi states or territorios; for the larger the assembly, other things being equal, the more pronounced its influence will be. Tho next session will bo held in Fobruary, and we suguest that at that time a resolution be adopted providing for anuual meetings only. A +hi sang low Phila telphia Press.
