Now here is another chance for the doughty chief of the Interior depart- | ment to demonstrate what sort of stuff he is made of. If he can stop the glar- ing evil complained of—and it is an evil that should be put down—he will have done what none of his predecessors were | able to do. INDICATIONS are that all efforts to | switch “Tom” Watson and some of the other third party leaders in Georgia off into an of the old demo- cratic party have proved unavailing. The fact that the alliance element polled 40,000 votes in that it the lute presidential clection is regarded as too encouraging for them to give up the fight and their future policy will be to preserve their organization and enter Mr. Watson in the race for governor. endorsement state THERE is still time for the business in terests of Omaha to make an effort to se- cure from the railroads stopover privi- leges for persons going by way of this | ity to the World's fair. 1t is safe to as- sume that onr wholesalers and jobbors appreciate the importance of this mat- ter, for it involves the possibility of a large amount of money being taken to Chicago by country merchants instead of being left in Omaha. The railroads, it is reasonably certain, will do nothing voluntarily to prevent this. THERE secms no doubt that a formid- able expedition to Cuba, numbering be- tween 400 and 500 men, organized and of- ficered by revolutionists, has rendez- voused at Key West and is ready at any moment when it may escape the vigi- lance of the Unmited States officials to | gail for the island. There is great ex- citement in the town, the number of federal officials has been increased and all suspected vessels are examined. The revolutionists have carried on their movements in the stealthiest manner. It is now thought they only await a favor- able opportunity for the onset. IF IGNATIUS DOX LLY can establish the fact of the discoveries he claims to have made it may be said that after all he has not lived entively in vain and he will doubtloss receive the grateful plaudits of Cthe wronged people of his state. He subm that before an impartial legislative investi- gating tribunal he can prove that the state of Minnesota has been defrauded of hundreds of thousands of dollars by dishonest officials. The Minnehal statesman may glean a pointer by stuay- ing the methods adopted by the people of Nebraska in unearthing frauds and bringing their perpetr ators to justice. SOME of o te exchanges still con- tend that there were not good and suffi- | cient grounds for the impeachment of | the state officials. The arguments pre- | sented to sustain this position ave un- tenable. The fact of the matter is that if the three state officials indicted by the legislature had not committed a s tary act that might have be questionable in connection with the building of the penitentiary cell house orin their relations with any state in- stitution, thoy still would have merited impeachment for utter disregard of | their duty to the people in their posi- | tions as members of the State Board Transportation, In the tirst place it was their duty to appoint secretar who were sincerely in favor of carrying out | the plain provisions of the law and in | meeting the public and party demands for | railroad regulation. Yet in defiance of popular sentiment they appointed men | known to be opposed to any restrictive | measures against railway corpovations. It was within their power last spring to | have saved the party from partial dis- aster by making reasonable reductions in railroad rates, but they would not listen to any advice suve that which emanated in railroad headquarters, oli- n considered | of THE MARCH OF MONOPOLY. Without check or restraint the army of monopoly moves steadily forward. It rogards neither statutory law nor public | sentiment. The fact that for three | years there has been a general law against trusts and combinations has no terrors for it. The most recent addition to the forces of monopoly is the rubber trust, the organization of which was planned some time ago, but has only just been completed. 1t is said to include | all three of the rabber manufacturing | concerns in the country and its first step is to advance prices of all kinds of rub wds.

JUNKETING COMMITTEES., It is not often that the senate of the United States indulges in self-criticism. A case of the kind happened a few da ago. A resolution was submitted in- structing the committee on Indian af- fairs to continue the investigations authorized in 1890 and again in 1891, and in pursuance of such investigations to visit the scveral Indian re Indian schools supported in whole or in part by the government, and the nations in the Indian Tervitory, or any veservation where, in the opinion of the committee, it may be necessary to tend their investigations. The resolution directed that the sions of the ¢ mittee be held during the @ senate at such place or places as the committee should determine, the ex- | pense to be paid out of the eontingent fund of the senate. Senator Sherman could see no reason for continuing the committee on Indian affairs in active duty during the recess He remarked that the practice of tho senate to organize committe has been growing apace and in a rapid five cess of the s of inquiry | and if our capit | more rapid making. | char | only through ervations, | of value. | it enjoys in the strects of this city. way. Year in and year out, said tho Ohio senator, the number of such committees of investigation has in- creased and there is a popular sentiment abroad that these are mere junketing committees, intended to make | pleasure excursions in different parts of the country to look into the sea to find the deep soundings for to examine Indian schools roam over the plains of the purposes of that kind. He thoug ought to be an end to the practice committee during the last recess, Sena- tor Sherman said, cost from 3,000 to 10,000, and there is a constant deficieney in the fund to pay the expenses of these committees, With rare exceptions, he sald, these committees resalt in nothing oxcept expenditure In the there was the a harbor, and wes discussion th followed no general dissent position of Senator most of the senators admitting that the senate had perhaps gone too far in authorizing investigations during the recess of that body, while occasion to defond investigating commit- tees with whieh they had been connected from th> implication of having been junketing bodies.

APRIL 14, 1899, is not quostionable that a carefal exami- nation of the record of the senate in this matter would fully justify all that was said by Senator Sherman in rebuke of the course that has been pursiued. The money of the people ought not to be squandered in giving senators exeursions over the y, and the example of such wastefulness cited by the Ohiosena- tor is but one of many that have furnished during the past twenty years. A radical change in this matter would be heartily approved by the people THE FULURE OF OMAHA Confidence is the This is true of well as of individuals, Omaha need a in the possibilities of this city, eount been communities as The people of dence ists and business men werally shared the sanguine views rding the future of Omaha of Mr. ibbon, the president of the Board of Trade, the city would s inl progress than it is entleman is a man of whose judgment is ful consideration. He has seen Omaha grow from a eompara: tively small town with business relations confined yto a row territory into a populous commercial metropolis whose trade extends over a wide region. This development has attained in a period of less than half the lifetime of a generation and @ difficulties much greater the city at this time. Omaha had cle practical aff worthy of respec been than conffont Fifteen years ago to establish a comm Today itis as well known as nter as any other city west of the Mississippi, and its reial a trade ¢ business xeeeded by none othersanywhere, This city has taken a strong and firm place among the great distributing points of the west, from which it can be dislodged k of energy and enter; prise on the part of its own interests The prediction that Omaha will have half a million people twenty years hence may be somewhat extravagant, but there are the soundest believing that the population two decades from now will be very nearly, if not qguite, three times what it is at present. This city is the natural metropolis of one of the finest regions of country in the world. The steady growth of this re- gion in population, productiveness and wealth is inevitable, and for years to come may reasonably be expected to be rapid. The cyes of home seckers the wortd oy are looking toward it. The majority of who mi- grate from the eastern section of the country will settle in this region. The journey of most of those who come from Europe to pursue the industry of agriculture will halt here. There is no other region more inviting, none which offers to industry and thrift better op- portunities. Having thus tributary to it a vast country of unsurpassed capabili- ties, what is to prevent Omaha from at least keeping pace with the growth of the territory of which it is the natural metropolis, if its men of capital and busi- ness improve the advantages that ave plainly before them? There is not a valid reason for want of faith in the future of Omaha. There is some unoccupied business and residence property here, but not move in propor- tion than is to be found in a majority of the cities of the country. Depression has been general during the last few yvears, but all statistics which indicate the condition of business show that Omaha has suffered less from the de- pression than most of the commercial centers of the country. This city is consequently better prepared than most ofhers to profit from a resumption of general prosperity. No heed should be given to the pessimists who say Omaha has reached the limit of her growth, that she has exhausted her possibilities. There lies before us greater reward for confidence, energy and enterprise than has been bestowed in the past. business reasons for those THE bridge motor iine has been hand- somely treated at the hands of this com- At the outset it was granted terminal facilities in the heart of the city worth many thousands of dollars, and to which time will add enhancement In fact, it to that within a few years this terminal franchise could not be pur- ed for $1,000,000, Yet the bridge and mot mpany pays in this city and eounty on an assessed valuation of about $2),000.

Their namos in their official capacity appear on many recommendations, and their endorsements ap- pear on record us the expression of the state committee itself. It is supposed that they nde & wholesale business of this official o recelved and filed the en- cnients as_coming from the democratic ittee of Nebraska, and had not the trick been discovered it 'would have worked. Messts. Martin and Sheean have twice at- tempted to secure authority from the state mittee to endorse applications, probably 1o ma ¢o their action good, and both times were refused. In justice to the pare, state, and to the partics interested, we de sire to make a statement of the facts relative to endorsements madoe by the state commit tee. At its meeting held in Lincoln, January 19, 1843, the following resolution was aaopted Resolved, That the state central committee endorse applicants for postofiices who have the endorsement of the stite centeal commit teeman and the chairman of the county een- tral committee having jurisdiction of sich of ficos; that the chairman of the county central committec net in hurmony with the majority of his committee, and that certifi- cates of endorsement be given to said appli- nts by the officers of the state committee nee with the action of the com mittee the chajvman and s given certificates of endorsement to appli cants for postoftice positions who have com plied with these requirements, No certifi cates have been given, however, where a contest or protest was filed against the suance thereof. Ata meeting of the s committee held at Omaha Aprit 6, 1803 chairman reported in full what certif had been issued, and a_motion unanimously ratifying the issuance th All contests and protests were disposed of at that meeting by the state committee and certificates issued to the parties cudorsed A committee consisting of A.J W. Farrell and the chairman was appoi at that meeting te lay before the authorities at Washington the action of the state committee and tc ask their the appointment organizations in the co-operation in securing of the candidates having the endorsement of the party organizations. The facts are that uo certificates of endorsement have been given unless the applicants have complied with the conditions fixed by the state com mittee. These certificates have been con fined solely to the postoffices of the state, with the exception of the endorscment given to J. Sterling Morton for of agri cultu The ofticers of the committee have at all times advised that no endorse. ments be made other than for the postofices, and the commt- tee has confined its endorsements to such apolicants. 1t is needless that all references made by the Washington correspondent, to the chairman and secre v requesting any avthority from the state conmittee to eudorse, ave untrue and with out any foundation in fact. In view of the perfect accord and earnest co-operation racteristic of the state committee, such statements become ridiculous and we refrain further comments Trusting that you will give this statem publication, we remain, respectfully, Jveuip Makniy, Chivirman B.
