Mit. CLINTON POWELL reminds us of the man who tried to pull himsoelf over the fence by his boot straps. THE republican judicial convention has settled one thing very definitely and :that is that Jndgo Walton is as g00d as clocted noy MAXWELL delegates must pay full fare. Anti-Maxwell delegates will have no difficulty in getting froe passes and refreshments thrown in. : PENALTIES under the transfer switch law now apply to railways operating in this state which have not complied with its provisions. Is the law to bo enforced? THERE can be no second choice after Maxwoll in the state convention, because & second choice means inevitable defeat this year and a burial under a land- slide in 1804, MEMBERS of the United States senate have gotten to the stage whnere they dis- play little or no interest in tho har- angues of the silver camp senators, The peoplo had gotten to that stage several weeks ago. ATE who is instructed by a convention 1 cast his vote for a candi- date is in the position of a messenger carrying a sealed package. He has no more right to violate instructions than he has to break the seal. ARE those wiseacres who profess to believe that the passage of the repeal bill would leave the way open to the free coinago of silver willing to try the experiment and trust to an interpreta- tion by the courts favorable to their policy? THE use of rough granite in the new federal building to be dressed after it has been placed in the walls will have at least one advantage for local residents. Tt wilt compel the work of dressing the blocks to be done in this city by men who will spend their carnings with local merchants. THE rejection of Mr. J. W, Carr by the republican judicial convention will be a keen disappointment to a host of republi- cans in this city who have worked for his nomination and would have made a vigorous campaign for his clection. M, Carr's woakost point is thut he is not a “ practical politician, » FOREIGN oxhibitors at the World’s fair will soop rival the theatrical pro- fossion in ve in - securing sonsational advertising in the public press. If they cannot engage in a squabble with the United States cus- tom officials they still have the resource of being robbed of rare or valuable articles. DELEGAT to the republican state convention should bear in mind that the triumph for the corporations and bood- lers i the coming convention means the defeat of republican candidates on every county ticket, the defeat of every candidate on the republican state ticket in 1894 and the election of another popu- list United States senator by s populist and democratic logislature. WiILL Railroad Employe Organizer Knodell be good enough to explain to the republicans of the Second ward why he sneaked in John L. Webster and Dick Smith to the state convention as representatives of the Second ward? ‘Were there no republicans in the Becond ward qualified to represent it? Why should the Fourth ward bave ten delegates and the Second ward only gix? THE free coinage advocates in con- gress have been caught in another spurious quotation of records relating to the monetary legislation of 1873. A careful verification of the many asser- tions made by them during the present agitation would no doubt disclose other evidences of wholesale fabrication or in- tentional distorting of history. The free coinage men seem to be proceeding upon the theory that the end justifies the means, however reprehensible the means may be. I T MEAN It custom of railroad companies to sell round trip tickets to delegates to WITAT DOES has been the political conventions and other large patherings at one and a | quarter fare, trip t In somo instances ronnd ckets have even been sold at one fare. The republican state convention, which is to assemble at Lincoln tomor- row, will be composed of more than 900 but the railr propose to exact full fare both ways.

WHO 1S THE PARTY'S CHOICEY The conventions to nominate dele- gates to the republican state convention have nearly all been held. Of the thirty-five counties that have expressed their choice by positive instructions to their delegates thirty have declared for Maxwell and only fiv tions instructed to vote for his com- petitors. The total number of dele- sgates who are pledged by resolutions of their respective county conventions is 374 of which 281 have been instructed for Sumuel Maxwell and ninety-three for the five candidates that have suceoeded in se- curing complimentaries from their home counties. The highest number of dele- gates which come instructed for any competitor of Maxwell is thirty-four— for Cobbey, while Hayward comes next with seventeen, Abbott sixteen, Frick fifteen and Judge Kinkaid of Holt with oleven votes. In overy in- stance where instructions have been given for compotitors of Maxwell the result was either achieved by appeals to home pride or by support from corpor- ate morcenaries, or by both. The in- structions for Maxwell represent the spontaneous uprising of republicans who vesent the outrage committed by the Dodge county snappers and the corrupt machinations of the conspirators at railroad headquarters and the state house. Of the unpledged delegates it is safe to estimate that more than 200 favor Judge Maxwell’s retention on the bench and will 5o vote if they are not tampered with or deprived of theiv free choice by the coercion of employers. This will be especially true of the deiegation from Douglas, quite a number of whom get their livelihood in the employ of rail- roads, express companies and other cor- porations. ‘While nearly 500 delegates can be mustered for Maxwell if an unbought and untrammeled choice is permitted, not a single cdndidate opposed to him can muster seventy-five votes unloss they are delivered to him by the cor- poration bosses and boodle men, who have confederated together to depose Judge Maxwell. Can anybody doubt for a moment who is the real choico of the republican party? Has ever any other candidate ved such a voluntary endorsement at the hands of his party without turn- ing a hand, without the slightest effort on his own part or any powerful agency except the press, and in the face of the most powerful combination of corporate cupital in ieague with public plunderers backed by patronage? 1f Samuel Max well is not the choice of his party by an overwhelming majority then no man ever has been or ever will be. end delega- DERICIED FIRE HYDRANT SERVICE, Whep the American Waterworks company began to operato its plant in 1883 the city covered an area of about nine squarg miles, In that small arca the pressureon 250 fire hydrants was sufficiont to throw four or six streams above the roof of a five-story building on the corner of Fifteenth and Farnam. Now the city of Omaha covers an area of twenty-five square milos and the plant at [love sup- plies water through a system of pipes that is ten times as extensive as it was in 1883, The result of this extension has been a reduction of the prossuro 8o that the fire hydrants can no longer be depended upon for effective work on buildings above three stories in height when it becomes neces- sary to turn on more than one stream. It is manifestly impossible to increase the hydrant pressure unless standpipes were orected in vavious parts of the city, or by a division of the city into districts with soparate service pipes and direct pressure from half a dozen stations. Such a changgwould require an enormous outlay on the partof the waterworks company, for which in its present condition it cannot raise the capital. It is alsoa question whether such an expenditure would be warranted even if it had the capital, because in the long run the city will have to buy out the plant and then we would have to indulge in a very expensive luxury. Omaha is by no means differently situated in this respect from other cities covering as large an area. There is scarcely a city of 100,000 or more popu- Iation thatcan rely upon hydrant pres- sure alone to put out fires. Inall large citios, whether they have reservoir systems, standpipes or divect pressure, steam fire engines are an absolute 1 | | thing rational is to OMAHA DAILY BE ¥ to cope with comflagrations in business blocks, factories ana mills that oxceed sixty tin height.

It is obvious, however, that it will be an exceodingly difficult matter 10 arrivi a basis of compromi Various have been submitted to conferences the cepeal and anti-repeal then and all of them met with sufficient oppo- eition, from one or the other, to cause most of them to be rejected. The proposition which seems to have re- ceived the most favorable consideration, and which it is ynderstood is still being discussed, calls for an amendment of the existing law so as to provide for the purchase of 1,500,000 ounces of silver per month until the wmount of silver in the country should aggregate $800,- 000,000, when purchase should cease, the silver bullion in the -treasury to be coined and the seigniorage placed to the edit of the trea and the silver purchased monthly 1o be also coined and such purchases paid for in silver dollars, the notes issued under th Sherman law to be withdrawn from circulation. 1t is a further part of this proposition that the secretavy of the treasury be authorized to issue bonds for the purpose of buying gold and of in- creasing gold holdings in the treasury 00,000,000, This plan meets with objection from both sides. The silver men regard the amount of the white metal which ivis proposed shall be purchased each month as too small, and the more radical of them do not like the idea of putting a limit on the amount of silver money there shall be in the country. The anti-silver men do not look with favor upon the plan because it does not offer a satisfactory solution of the financial dificulty and at best would serve only as & makeshift. The purchase monthly of one-third ~ the amount of silver provided for under the present law, to cease when the aggre- gate of silver in the country should reach a stated amount, would not help the white metal in the least, and could probably have no other effect, even with the security for its money parity which doubling the gold holdings of the treasury would give, than to perpetuate and perhaps aggravate-the financial dificulties. There is also objection to increasing the public debt in order to swell the gold res against further additions to the silver circulation. A better plan may be proposed, but the prospect of reaching a basis of agree- ment does not now seem to be at all favorable. But, assuming that the repcal and anti-repeal men of the senate do succeed in coming together on a compromise measure, what may be expected of Mr. Cleveland? His letter to the governor of Georgia only last week was unequiv- ocal in declaring against any compro- mise, - The president stated in the plainest possible terms that he favored nothing short of the unconditional re- peal of the silver purchase clause of the so-called Sherman law, and he of- fered no intimation that could warrant a hope in any quarter that he will accept a compromise. Accord- ing to a report from Washington Mr. Cleveland has thin the last few days informed S ary Carlisle that he will listen to no compromise in- volving the further purchase of silver until the supreme effort has been made by the friends of unconditional repeal to avail themselves of their conceded strenzth as a majority of the senate and to force a vote. Having done this, if the effort fails, he may listen to compro- mise terms. There is no probability tnat the president can be persuaded to abandon this attitude, and as his sup- porters in the senate will undoubtedly adhere to him there seems small chanc of a compromise agreement being ef- fected in advance of a vote on the pending bill. mo propositions of COLLECT THE PENALTIES. The defiunt disregard by the railroads of Nebraska for the laws enacted for the protection of their patrons is a menace to good government. They have not only refused to give the maximum freight law a fair trial, but have at- temptod to have the enforcement of that law indefinitely postponed through the interference of the United States courts, he transfer switch law has faved but little better. The railroads evidently consider this law of too little importance to demand even the forms of legal pro- cedure to pullify its provisions. They prefer openly to violate the law and so confident are they of their influence over the courts that they assume to hurl defiance upon the penalties that are daily aceruing from their inaction. As explained in these ealumns before, the transfer switch law requires all rail- roads operating in the state touching at common points or at some near point, where freight is received and delivered, to build and maintain switches for their common use in transferring freight in carload lots from one tine to the other, The roads are enjoined under heavy penalties to constructthese switches and to give shippers a through way biil to the place of destination, charging there- for a rate no higher than the sum of the local rates on the connecting lines. While the law was ostensibly to have gone into effect August 1 the penalties were not to attach until after the lapse of sixty days granted to the roads to bring before the Board of Transporta- tion applications for exemption from its number | in the | DAY provisions af pavticular points where its enforgement would be unusually burden- me and unreasonable, In ans the State Board of Tianspe shipper along its line, the sought to show as & defonse . or to a complaint filed before tation by a Ikhorn has as that the | maintenance of a switch at that particu- lar intersection is not demanded by the business for which it wonld bo used. The Burlington road bas also petitioned the board, asking for relief from the provisions of fhe law at sixty-three points where its line or ap- proaches anoter. On neither of these cases has the board rendered a decision up to this time, nor have the remaining railway companies requested exemption from the law. orosse Since the lapse of the sixty days fr gust 1 the penalty clause has been running against every railvoad owning lines in Nebraska. It provides that if any railrond company shall nogle refuse to comply with the provisions of fhe act within sixty days from its taking effect such railroad company shall be deemed guilty of a mis- demoanor and subject to a fine of not loss than $50 nor more than ) for each and every day that such railroad company shall neglect or refuse to build or maintain such switches, Jurisdiction is given to any court having competent jurisdiction, and all fines de d from the violation of the act are ordered paid into the general school fund of the state, he people would no doubt prefer to have the railroads obey the law and give them the benefit of improved service and through shipments, But if they cannot sccure immediate and prompt compliance with their just demands they will insist upon the collection of the penalties in strict conformity to the law. During all the months that have elapsed since the passage of the act the ilroads have not taken one step look- ing toward the construction of a single transfer switch. Let them now suffer the penalties of their econtemptuous violation of the statute. The people are in no mood to tolerate delay. They are waiting for the proper authorities to collect the first installment of the rail- roads’ contribution to the school fund. ma A ERY great fire in our midst demon- strates again the danger hiding in the many overhead poles and wires which obstruct our thoroughfares with their unsightly mass. Not only do they threaten firemen and pedestrians with the deadly contact of alive wire, but they also hinder the play of the fire ex- tinguishing apparatus und leave an almost free field for the work of the de- structive flames. The corporations to whom the wires belong are compelled to cut them on every such occasion and forced to the expense of costly repairs, not to speak of the inconvenience and loss to themselves and their patrons, Their own interests are in line with the demands of public safety—namely that the wires be placed under ground. Eastern cities are gradually enforcing this action upon ¢ their franchised cos porations, and Omaha must follow suit in the near futhre, dn this, the co-oper: tion of | the vérporations is much more desirable than their opposition, but the wires must go under ground. IT 1S a most beautiful commentary on the methods pursued by the Powell snipe-hunters that ex-Assessor Ehren- pfort, a rampant democrat and railroad lobbyist, has to be employed to solicit signatures from republican delegates of this county to the state convention to make John L. Webster chairman of the delegation. Ihrenpfort carries a Union Pacific detective star on his vest lapel and has been employed as sncak extra- ordinary and man of dirty work for the he rendered as an assessor of t ward. Mr. Webster will of course still disclaim any relations to the railroad corporations in his efforts for Powell.
