THERE al very few voters of any party in Nebraska who will bo willing to elevate any man to the supreme bench who has had no judicial experience in the lower courts. —_— A BANK failure in these later summer days is a rarity.

NOw LOOK for vigorous denials in the corporation organs of the telograms an- nouncing the instruction of delegates for Maxwell. The railroads will break down the instructions if such a thing can possibly be done.” IF YOU don't helieve that the opposi- tion to Judge Muxwell comes from the men who are interested in maintaining railroad and corporation supremacy in Nebraska, just analyze the character of the men who are doing the most to de- feat his renomination. THE schemo to attorney for nominate a railroad judge of the supreme court and then placo him on & plat- form made up of high sounding but meaningless anti-monopoly planks will fail to cateh the voters in Nebraska this year. The mun must fit the platform or he will be repudiated at the polls, JUDGE HAYWARD says in an inter view that he is not secking a nomina- tion for the supreme bench, but that he has succumboed to the entreaties and importumtics of friends. Will the judge be good enough to name his friends? Ho has been at Lincoln most of this weok. Ave his friends all in tho state house? THE democrats of Couneil B swallowed the state platform, money plank and atl. 1t may not be s0 easy a matter for Omaha democrats to follow the example. Fact is, that whon the democratic county convention meets in this city there will be nothing left of the angelic harmony so often said to pro- vail hercabouts. fs have THE bill permitting the sale of the state saline lands will pass in review before the Nebraska supreme court. For that reason the men who are interested in securing the lands for a mere fraction of their actual value are working to defeat the efforts of the people who are domanding an able, fearless and un- prejudiced supreme bench. —_— THE democratic majority in congross cannot be 5o very formidable aftor all when the leaders are compelled w apply the party lash in order to command the attendance of a sufficient number of votes to overcome the republican minoi- ity.

THE democrats in the United States senate are opposed to cloture because they say that it is contrary to the spirit and traditions of the party, If the demo- crats could manage to cut loose from their traditions and go to work the country might be spared the spectacle which now presents itself daily in the senate. Traditions are all very well in their way, but the party that substitutes Ideas for traditions is the one that ren- fers the country the most effeciive ser- rice, D FPOR THAT RE Las baon a political duty of the republ ! late al of rreat said and to resent to foree upon digtation can party th man of or the part st candidate by predict- dictate, there of and pt to frighten ing disustor for evergbady « has been no atterapt ¢ have no threats thore been no attor the party into subjection by imaginary | bughears.

I'he question that every loyal repub- lican asks himself in a close election who among the candidates is tho most available? Who can poll the heaviest vots? And when it bee nt who this candidate is every man who desires cty march to vietory falls into lino and elps to placo him in front of the eolumn. Now if anybody can name a republican lawyer qualifiod for a place on the suprems beuch who will poll as large o vote as Maxwell Tk Brg will vory cheerfully give him its support. If any man can bs namoed who is sure to draw as largo a suppe from tho great mass of domo- cratic and independent voters we will exert all our influcnce to help nominate him. But up to this time no such man has been proposed. Every eandidate so far named is either without any experience on the bench or handicapped by relations to corpora- tions and the malodorous state house ring that would lose him thousands of repnl 1 votes if the party daved to present him for thoir suffragc This is not an idle thy nor a reckloss draft upon the imagin tion. It is a candid and truthful state- ment. The lawyers that present them- selves as mpetitors with Judge Max- well in the race for the supreme judge- ship are one and all cither tainted with railvoadism or pushed to the front to vindicate the impeached state officers by turning. down Maxwell. With such baneful influences exerted in their favor they naturally bay themselves from popular confidence, and that means sure defeat at the polls if thoy succeed in the convention. Under such peculiar eircumstanc Judge Maxwell's candidacy becomes a political necessity. Ho stands as the highest type of that ropublicanism which for more than a quarter of a cen- tury was entrusted by the people of America with the reins of government. He is the embodiment of the principles and pledges enunciatdd in republican platforms. He is the ideal nonpartisan judge who interprets the constitution withoutr fear or favor, regardless of partisan bias or partisan advantage. As judge of the supreme court he knows no republicans, no democrats, no pro- hibitionists, no populists. Ho knows only the American citizen, his bill of rights and the constitutional guaranties that are the bulwark of our free institu- tions. With Maxwell at the head of the ticket republicans will have nothing to explain away, nothing to de- fend or apologize for. His name is a synonvm of integrity and with nhim on the ticket no platform pladges wrll be necessary. Maxwellis the most available candidate the party can namo in this emergency. In fact, he is the only can- didate with whom the party could feel assured in advance of victory., His can- didacy would not only regenerate the party but strengthen every candidate on a county republican ticket, and for that son THE BEE advocates his re- nomivation. EPIDEMIO OF TRALN Two train robberies and one unsuc- cessful attempt at robbery have taken place within the last two weeks, all of them in comparatively populous parts of the country. In case, that in Indi- ana, where the robbors captured a con- siderable sum of money, the exact amount of which has never been publicly stated, the work was 50 well done that none of the rascals have been arrested, orifany of them are in durance the fact bas not been revealed. S far as the public knows they succeeded in got- ting away with all their plunder and are still at large. No more carefully planned robbery has oceurred in the his- tory of *these episodes, as judged by the facts made public, and there is evory reason to believe that among those concerned in it were men in the serv- ico of the express company and the rail- roud, who knew all about the conditions which favored a successful robbery. The robbery of the train in Michigan, in which the robbers carried off some 70,000, it i3 now known from the ar- rest of most of the parties, was partici- pated in by the express messongor who had charge of the money, one or two employes of the railroad company and several othor parties who wers not bo- fore criminals. The last episode of this kind, reported in our columns today, involves & mau who had been in the railvoad sorvice as a leader in the projectod robbery, which was attempted in a thickly populated portion of the country, and but for the courage of the trainmen—s fact that cannot bo too strongly omphasized— doubtless would have been successful, What is to be done to chock this epi- demic of train robbery, peculiar to this country, is & question which has un- doubtedly occurred to nearly overybody, and all must recognize that it is a ques- tlon of urgent importance, An adeguate protection must be provided, and the sooner the botter. Humiliating as it is to the American people that such a state of affairs exists here nceding legislation, novertheless something must be done that will reach the evil and remove it.

In order to do this the speaker, as evidenced in the proccedings of the Wednesday, has practically autoe powers. The ox- traordinary course of Speaker Crisp on Wednesday should not fail to arrcest the earnest attention of the country. It was without precedent and in all ossential it in its neter. and pur- poses the speaker refused to give the minority any of the rights which have always boen re ol belonging to it, and by vulings which would not be sustained by any patlia- mentary body in the world not under monarchical domination enabled the majority to carry out its program. It is porhaps unneeassary to considor in detail the ch oter and the porssible cffects of the rulings made by Speaker Crisp in order to override the minority, but everybody can understand what is involved in an absolute refusal of the speaker to entertain wn appeal from his decision. When it is conceded that the prosiding officor of a legislative body can, as ox-Spea ker Reed exprossed i, violate the sacred right of appeal as was done on Wednesday, the power of such presiding officer becomes practically absolute and there is no restriction upon his despotic Pows After such an exhibition as was made by the democrats of the house of representatives two days ago, in the eagerness of theiv doesire to overcome the republican opposition to admitting the report in the repeal of the federal clection laws, they have no right to further criticise what was done in the Rifty-first congress. Whatever may have been donein the preceding congress to further the cause of legislation, it cannot bo said that a single act of the speaker or of the committee on rules went to any such despotic length as did the rulings of Speaker Crisp in refusing to entertain appeals from decisions which the minority be lieved to be unjust and unsound. and in peremptorily deciding that certain motions wero not in order because thoy militated against the program which the majority bad planned to carry out. The country will not fail to notice the arbitrary course of the speaker of tho house in this matter, mor will it fail to remember the reason for it. The ques- tion of providing vules for the house which would have allowed the majority to carry out its policy without doing any violence to the minority had been con- sidered, but in order to avoid any recog- nition of the rules of a republican con- gress, every suggestion in line with the parliamentary policy of the house of representatives of the Filty-first con- gress was rejected. Finding their mis- take, the majority has had recourse to o more summary policy, and as was said by ex-Speaker RReed, they have under- taken to ‘‘out-Herod Herod,” by allow- ing the speaker to assume an arbitrary power unprecedented in tho history the government. Never has the demo- cratic party been more defiantly high- handed than in this instance, and the American people will not forget it. house on assumed atic respects cha was rovolutionary To all intents i REGRADE UPPER FARNAM, Farnam street is and doubtless will continue to be the principal business thoroughfare of Omaha. The principal banks, the public buildings, except the vostoflice, are firmly anchored on the street and so ave the most imposing and commodious office buildings and princi- val newspaper concerns. It is admitted on all hands that a great blunder was perpetrated in the establishing the grade of upper Farnam street. With cuts of from five to ten feet on the crest of the hills and eorresponding filling in the depressed streot levels, a very de- cided improvement could bo The change onupper Douglas shows what can be done for a street be re- ducing tho grades and readjusting the levels of abutting lots, Upper Farnam streot west of Twenty- third has become one of our most sightly residence streets, but it is now almost inaccessiblo to carriages by reason of heuvy grades and demoralized wooden block pavement. At the farthest the street must be repaved within two years if it is to be passuble for vehicles. But before repaving is bogun the grade should by all means be reduced. The change may involve the payment of dam- ages to a foew property ownoers, but the property benefited could well afford to bear the expense. In fact, the groater part of the property west of Twentioth will be enormously enhanced in value by a veduction of grade, Whatever doubt existed as regards the trend of business westward whon Bighteenth and Farnam was proposed as the most eligible site for the post- office no intelligent observer entertains any doubt that Bighteenth and Farnam will be the grand crossing of the busi- ness center of Omaha within the next ten years, whethor the McShane hotel materializes or not. The grand hotel of Omaha will be above Eighteenth streot, either on Farnam or Doug- las or on both of these streets, It is the npatural location for a great hostelry on account of elevation and because it will be more accessible to the mass of our population, who already reside west of Eighteenth, in fact west of Twenty-fourth street, It would manifestly boa great detri- ment to Omaha o leave upper Farnam street permanently disfigured by deep ravines and heavy grades when the streot can be converted into a grand boulevard by the expenditure of less than $100,000. Every dollar expendea will add 810 to the valuo of every foot of prop- orty on the street, and many thousands of dollars to the value of property on streets that cross Farnam west of Twenty-third or terminate in that thov- mad | oughfare.

IN COUNTIES where the populists have made great inroads into the republican ranks and carried off some of the most active membors of that party there is a manifest disposition on the part of re- publicans now to profit by past « ence. They realize that the man who runs for supreme judge this year must have a record that is not in conflict with the platforms of 1800 ana 1892 on the restrictions of corporate monopoly and regulation of railroad rates. Thoy rvealize, moreover, that he must be a man who does not owe his nomination to the state house ‘ring and penitentiary gang of boodlers. They rocognizo in Judge Maxwoll the man for this emer- gency, and they have met the issue by instructing their.delogates to the state convention to support Maxwell.
