SO 17T has got to be “‘Genoral” W. H. Michaeis now. How the mighty do loom up when once they get away from home. JUDGE MAXWELL has become awfully unpopular within the past thirty days. Tho railroad lawyers and tho annual pass men have reccived their tip. NINE hundred and fifty-cight dele- gates to the republican state convention. Seven hundred and fifty corporation lawyers and heelers. mostly delegatos by proxy. What will tho harvest be? CITIZEN TRAIN wants good times re- stored by a liberal circulation of the rag baby. Nobody objects 1o the rag baby if it only knows where its redeemer liveth. A FEW more senators of the caliber of John Sherman would raise the standard of the United States senate several notches in the estimation of intelligent peovle all the world over. PARTY promises seem to have a bind- ing force in Great Britain. Gladstone promised to put a home rule measure through the House of Commons and he is clinging fast to his word. WHEN you again hear that old story about Seyd and the British gold con- spirators perpetrating “‘the crime of 1873” just tell your informant that he is lying and refer to John Sherman as your authority. WITH the beginning of September Omaha must begin to lubricate the wheels of commerce and brace up to tho work that is before her. In the language of John Sherman, “the way to bring about resumption is to resumo.” SOUTH CAROLINA bo will have to be bottled without the significant pal- metto label. If the new state dispensary law shall prove a failure, its eulogists may justly point to this calamity as the rock upon which it will havo grounded. THE fact that the ways and means committec has announced its intention of granting hearings to manufacturors interested in its contemplated tariff bill does not indicate any strong adherence to the doctrine that a protective tarifl is unconstitutional. —_— WITH a galvanized railvoader for the supromo bench on the populist ticket, a bogus anti-monopolist on the democratic ticket and a corporation catspaw on the vepublican ticket, the railroal man- agers will not care Adam who is elected to succeed Maxwoll, —_— SENATOR STEWAR' king, propos , the Nevadasilver plain his vote in 08 10 e support of the act which in 1873 dropped the standard silver dollar from the statutory list of coins.

He attributos this impending deficiency to the decrease of onc-half mill in the state lovy ordered by the last legislature. It is quite evident that the coming legislative session will have wore to demand its attention than the ~ere selection of a senator to sueceed Senator Wilson, THE OMAHA THE BAR | More than two hundred members | of the bar of the Fourth judicial district, comprising the ablest law- yers of the state, have, after due deliberation, made their selection | of candidates to fill the on the beneh of this district at the com- ing Acting the non- partisan idea the membors of the Dou las county bar have taken n de- parture by also making a nomination of a candidate for county judge, In this respect the bar of Douglas county has only carried to its logitimate conclusion the principle of a nonpartisan judiciary which was inaugurated years ago at the instance of THE BLk, and las given such satisfaction, ox cepting possibly amonyg the professional | ward politicians and disgrantled candi- | dates, The choice of the bar for tho district bench upon three lawyers who are the of the most eminent members of profession in this district. Walton, who has alveady established an enviable roputation as an impartial and clear-headed judgo, was complimented with a nomination by unan- imous vote of the entire bar. In this choice the people of this district rogardless of party will heartily concur. The selection of W. S. Curtis and E. R. Duffic was made after a spirited but good-natured contest, and made unani- mous by the members participating. Mr. Duffic is a lawyer of large experi- ence, both at the bar and on the bench. He served two terms as judge of the Fourteenth judicial district of Iowa, and both times was elected by the unanimous vote of his constituency on a nonpartisan ticket. M. Curtis is regarded as one of the best lawyers in Omaha, with a judi- cial bent of mind that promises to make him a fearless, upright and impartial ox- ponent of the law. Mr. 1. I'. Baxter, who was nominated for county judge by the Douglas county bar, is a bright young lawyer, much older than he looks. He has been edu- cated in a New York law oftice with one of the most successful attornoys of the Empire state, and his associates in Omaha commend him highly as a man of good judgment and quick grasp of logal points. While it is true that our county judges have herotofore been chosen on party tickets it isalso true that the county judge deals with a greater number of THE CHOICE OF vacancies election upon now universal the vacan- cles on has fallen pec their Judge litigants than any district judge. The greater number of cases begin and end in his court. Moreover, the county judge is the custodian of the estates ana legacies and is expected to be the pro- tector and chief guardian of the widows and orphans. Partisanship in such an office would certainly bo out of place. In some of the largest cities of the coun- try the judge of probate is never changed during life and good behavior. It should be so in Douglas county when the right man is found to fill the place. It now remains for the party conven- tions to give practical recognition to the principle of a nonpartisan judiciary by endorsing the choice of the bar and re- lieving the men who are to oceupy the district and county bench from any obli- gation to men who make a living out of politics. Let them feel and know that the good will and estcem of their asso- clates and confidence of the people is alone potential in making and unmaking judges. This will be astep in the dire tion of judicial reform which is being i rurated in all sections of the coun- try in the interest of good government. A CONTINUOUS It appears to be the intention that congrress shall continue in session, in- stead of taking a recess, in the event of the silver question being disposed of before the date of the beginning of the regulav sossion in December. This is understood to be the plan of Speaker Crisp, who is believed to reflect the wish of the president in the matter, and tic leaders of the house are suid to concur in the view. Mr. Wilson, ON. the democ chairman of the eommittea on | ways and means, has assigned to subcommitteos the vavious subjeets connceted with the tariff upon which hearings are to be had, and begmning with noxt Monday and continuing until September 20 the various interests affected by the tariff will bo given an opportunity to bo heard. As soon as this part of the work of thoe w and means committee is concluded it will onter upon the task of framing a new tarill bill, and it is stated that the chair- man of the committeo expects to have a measure ready before De The period for obtaining mation and opinions from dustrial interests of the country sixteen day 8 rather short and the republican membors of the commit- tee desired that the time be extended but 1t will probably be found to be suffi- cient, sinco it is likely that most of the | industrial interests will conclude that it would be a wusto of time to present their views to the committee, Doubtless a continuous sossion will bo satisfactory to tho manufacturing inte ests of the country if there is assurance that it will result in interests an earlier they could otherwiso soope of taviff intended.

[t is ontirely natural that those engaged in enterpr afleoted by tho tariff should prepare n advance for the revolutionary ohanges threatened | in the democratic platform and discount in part the new tarift tocome. It may be that their fears have been oxaggerated, but it is to be remembered that never before has the policy of protection to American indus tries been attacked as it was by the last democratic national convention in the | declaration that it is unconstitusionul, and the claim of the democracy that s this view was endorsed by the popular | hands of vote ar fectiv to oroate therefore should be made of- in legislation was well m\lf'lllnhul the appre strongost hension among those engaged in tho protected industries. Mr. Cleveland has shown | 8 desiro to rolieve this fear | by assurances that no injury | to any indastry is contem- ove plated, but 1 the executive promise | is not sufficient to entirely dissi un- certainty and apprehension, and the only thing that will satisfy the minds of manufacturers as to what they may count on is a tariff bill coming from the the commiitee of charged with the duty of framing such The industrial interosts of will doubtless, therefore, have no objection to the pi al to push forward the work of tari sion as rapidly as possible, The sooner this can bo accomplished the earlier will thuse interests bo able to readjust them- solves to the new conditions which gen- al tariff changes will necessitate. In the meantime congress should have no difficulty in finding enough important business to keep it well employed. congross A measure. the country NICARAGUA CANAL TROUBLES. The difficulties of the Nicaragua Canal company have culminated in the ap- pointment of a receiver, who is em- powered to take immediato possession of the property and continue the business. Whether this will improve the outlook for the enterprise is a question, bus it is to be presumed that it will bring about some needed reforms in the management of the business which may possibly have the effect to attract to the project more favorable consideration from capitalists than has boen shown it for sev- eral years, Fow great enterprises have been started in this country under more favorable conditions than this one. It was approved by the ablest engineers as an entirely practicabls undertaking, and it was strongly commended to the country on commercial, political and patriotic grounds. It has besn shown vepeatedly, so fav as figures go, that it would be a highly profitable enterprise t 8. As to commercial benefits its possibilities wore assumed to bo beyond computation, while the advan- ges it would give the United in’s her political relations with the countries south of us urged as of the very highest importance. As adistinetly American projeet for promoting American interests it ap- pealed to the patriotism of the country. The enterprise got a good start. Hav- ing received government recognition, the company was able to sccure liboral subseriptions to the stock. Tt proposed to construct the canal entirely with pri- vate capital. A great deal of work has been mplished, involving an expen- diture of many millions of dollars and now it seems that the company has about reached the end of its resources. In- deed, it has been practically in this con- dition since it inaugurated the effort to secure from congress the government endorsement of its bonds. The failure of this effort, notwithstanding the unanimous report of the senate finance committeo in favor of the government becoming the backer of the enterprise, was asetback for the company from which it has never recovered. Some time ago there s promise of a syndicate of California capitalists subscribing 810,000,000 to carry on the work, but this did not ma- terlalize, and since then little or no cffort has been made to raise additional capital. [t would be entirely hopeless, of course, under existing financial con- ditions. What the future of this enterprise will be cannot be predisted with any de P of certainty. There can be no question that most of the considerations urged in its favor have merit and the probability is that in time the canal will be constructed, but it may have to wait for the more friendly concern or the larger liberality of the next generation. The prospect of its completion during the present one, if compelled to depend on private capital exelusively Amorican, is certainly not flattering. As to gov- ernment aid, the chances of securing it are less now than ever before and there isno reason to suppose that they will improve in the near futuve. Ryon if there were not a very strong popular hostility to the government assuming any financial responsibility for und takings of this character the of the national trea lic re States were s condition sury and of the pub- nues would forbid it. It looks as if the failure of another great canal scheme must be chronicled. GUVERNUE BUIES SACRIFICE, The New York Sun tells us that Goy- ernor Boies has sacrificed his seruplos to his party in consenting to accopt a second renomination for the governo ship of Tow It insists that his letter declining to permit even by his silence the continued use of his name in con- nection with that office was intended in all sincerity, but simply mistaken in the assumption that the lowa democrats did not want him to have a third term, For finding out his mistake and preforring to serve his party rather than preser the dull merit of consistency it thinks that the highest rise, But the Sun lets Yhoe cat out of the and shows great a sacrifice iovernor Boies has made when it says: “It is well known that Hon. Horace Boies did not wish to be for the third timo a candidate for governor of Towa, His ambition is for a seat in the senate; and if dreams of 1896 hover before his eyes, who can blame him?” Of course it is well known that Boies did not care particularly to be elected gov- ornor for & third time, nor does he care for the governorship now. His ambition is still for the senatorship. What made him apparently sacrifice his scruples o his party was nothing less than the fact that he had been made to believe that he could uso a third elec- tion us governor as a stepping stone to the senate. The scheme s planned is xpected also to boost another good domocrat into the seat now ogeupied by Governor Boies. Bestow, now glieuten- ant governor, was the second swrongest ho is deserving of how candidate before the democratic conven- tion.

CHICAGOhas a jewel in Judge Goggin, who has just refused to dissolve the n injunction restraining the World's r directors from closing the gates on undays. Judge Goggin has boen ele- vated to the beneh, and he does not pro- pose to have his elevation diminishod by anything that in his opinion would cause the people to lose confidenco in the judi- ciary. In support of his contention he had no compunetion about kicking out two of his associates whom he had called to assist him, but whom he found would disagree with him. His arbitrary antics cannot tail to do more to cause the people to lose confidence in the judiciary than a dozen dissolutions of restraining orders. Tt is reassuring to be told that Judge Goggin was not laboring under the influence of intoxicating liquor when he created this extraordinary scene in his court. COLORADO politicians propose to start a new party, whose sole aim shall bo the agerandizement of Colorado and the silver mine ownors atthe exnvense of the remainder of the United States. It is possible, though not probable, that new political parties may arise from time to time, but to maintain an exist enco they must bo founded on some general principle or demand. No nav- row basis, such as has been proposed for the so-called ‘‘Colorado” or ‘silver” party, ean secure adherents throughout the country.
