WILLIAM 7. BECH efficient councilman. He is thoroughly familiar with every branch of the municipal machine, and is conceled to be the best presiding ofticer the council has ever had. has mado a vory THE republicans of Douglas county will make a great mistake if they nomi- nate any candidate whose conduet is in- defensible. Such candidates woaken the ticket and make the race very uncer- tain for everyhody. WITH an assurance that the resusci- tated Wostern Base Ball association is to be conducted without resort to specu- lative mothods, its promoters ought to have little difficulty in bringing Omaha into their organization. EVEN railroads do not eat pie all the time. The returns for the first three weeks in September show a decrease in earnings of about 13 per cent compared with the same period last year, not- withstanding the World's fair traflic, It 18 all right enough to expend any surplus in the general fund for streot repairs, but the taxpayers should get their money’s worth. We cannot afford 10 place idle men on the pay roll unless they earn their wages on work that is needed. IF THE frequent calls of the senate for information respecting subjects of public intorest are properly responded to by the government officials senators will soon be able to use their positions as a menns of sccuring a liberal educa- tion in economies and political science. ACCORDING to the Philadelphia Public Ledger the best thing that could happen to the democrats under the éircum- stances would be defeat in New York at the next election. Similar circum- stances mako the defeat of the demo- orats the best thing for the country in all the statos where elections ave to be beld this year. IT 18 to bo hoped that tho delegates to the irrigation congress in session in Los Angeles will be uble to agree upon some definite measures as best calcu- lated to promote their cause. Discus- sion is very well in its place, but disous- sion without results is worse than use- less. Irvigation is waiting only for practical plans for tho redemption of our arid lands, WILLIAMS COLLEGE, just celebrating its 100th anniversary, is one of the fow older educational institutions that has clung steadily to the old college idea and eschowed the innovations of university work. The completion of its first century shows that there is still ample opportunity for the continued de- velopment of the college as dis- tinguished from the university. ILLINOIS is moving to reopen the boundary question between that state and Towa. Why not have Nebraska join Tllinols to secure a satisfuctory adjust- ment of the western Towa border? The friction between Nebraska and Towa suthoritics will never be done away with until we secure a new and more rational definition of the line that sepa- rates the jurisdictions of the two states. ittt 4 GEORGE F. MUNRO should by all means have his name submitted as a candidate for the council by petition, That would not in the lcast interfere with tha chances of Mr. Mallory, who was placed on the republican ticket on the recommendation of the Fifth ward. Mr. Munro has been a terror to jobbers and imposters in the council. He has stood up manfully for the rights of the | strueti i mere b | great taxpayers, and should by all means be retained in the eouncil for auother term.

Chicago peoplo are wont to ascribe the comparatively small attendance at the exposition during the carly part of the scason to “*hard times and the railroads,” and'the unexpected suceess of the last reduction in passen- gor rates goes far to confivm them in the t part of their assertion. One cent a mile has proven move than enough to cover the expense of conveying a passen- gor from his home to Chicago. If any one had suggested three or four decades ago that the time would come when the railroads would earry passen- gers at L cent a milo he would probably have been laughed completely out of court. But the wonderful improv ments in the last fow years, by which the expenses of railroad traflic have been reduced and the railroad-patronizing public increased in number, point to th.o attainment of that result before the twentioth century has sped very far on its course. Looking at tho last fow years only wo find that, according to the statistician of the Interstate Com- merce commission, the average cost of carrying one passenger one mile on the ilroads of the United States decreased from 2.9 cents in 1888 to 2,142 cents in 1801, while the revenue received per passenger mile fell in the sume pericd from 2 That is may be 2,349 conts to 2,142 conts, to say that the profit for cach passenger mile was 307 cent in 1888 and .232 cent. in 1801 But although the oxcess of revenue over eost had materially dimin- ished, the great increase in the number of passengers earried made the decrease in total net revenue insignificant. Re- ductions in fares have not been accom- panicd by anything like a corresponding decreaso in carnings, When the rail- roads are assured a large increuse of passenger traffic they will ba compelled to inaugurate a lower schedule of fares. The action taken by the Western Passengor association for the continu-, ance of the 1 cent a mile rato until the close of the exposition shows that the railroads are tardily appreciating the situation, 0 expect those rates to be made permanent would scarcely be rea- sonable, but we are boing furnished a practical demonstration of the fact that the ordinary passenger rates are much higher than need be.. One cent a mile will not be here this year nor noxt year, but itis bound to come. Just when is a matter for speculative curiosity. —— THE CANAL PRUJECT AGAIN. There is no doubt whatever that the Platte viver canal project is feasible, All competent engineers agree that there Is abundant water for the purposes which the canal is designed to subserve. The most couservative estimate of the energy which we can utilize from the waterfall year in and year out is 25,000- horso power. This is 50 per cent more than Minneapolis gets now from the falls of St. Anthony. That, of course, means an overabundant supply for all the motor lines, mills, factories and electric lighting: plants that may be established in Omaha for all time to come. The only question to be determined is what will the canal cost, how shall it be built aud by whom shall it be managed? Can we carry out the project without swamping the city and county by an enormous bonded debt? Can we afford the vheels of | 10 vote the canal bonds without provid- | the ing safoguards againet a reckless waste of the fi On thoese nds?

The nomination for mayor has fallen to Me, Jeff W. Bediord. In making this sclection the democrats virtually con- cede that the vailable candidates de- dlined to the Me. Kilpat- rick deelined becanse did not want to wade through the mive of ward poli- ties, and Governor Boyd beeause he did not want to take the chance of defeat. Mr. Bedford is a vory respeetable gen- tleman with Missouri-democratic antece- ents, e served one term in the coun- cil and is somewhat familiar with mu- nicipal affairs. When in the council he leaned strongly toward the corporations, and he will doubtless get a good deal of corporation support. His chances of clection, however, are not the very held me the maice John Fvars, the candidate for comptroller, is doubtless competent, but decidedly unstoady. Ho was for years the auditor of the county hoard and in that capacity proved himself a good accountant. Just now he is out of busi- ness and has his weathor eye office. Will Wakeley, the candidate for cit clerk, is a bright young man of fair clevical ability and” comos of a family. Me. Charles s0me on some ood hempson, nominee for treasurar, is a young merchant who has never been in publie life and whose capacity for handling municipal finance is un unknown quantity. The nominee for police judge, Mr. Henry M. Morrow, is a young lawyer of good cha~acter and fair ability. The candidates for council and Board of Education are a fair average. l'uken all in all, the ticket is not very formid- abie. A BUSIN S MAYOR. On the editorial page of the World- Herald may be found two suggestive ar- ticles. One is headed, “Dress Parade at an End;” the other, “A Year Ago Today.” One tries to make light of Muayor Bemis by representing him as a “Convention mayor,” whose sole qualifi- cation is speech making at banquets and public receptions. The other recites the following pointed paragraph: A year ago today Mayor Bemis vetoed the Ketehum furniture item of $24,470.50." So Mayor Bemis after all is not merely a dress parade mayor or a convention mayor, but he also is a business mayor, who puts his foot down on jobs and crooked claims wherever and whenever he sees one. The Ketchum furniture claim was notoriously one of the worst jobs that had ever been engineered through the council and the only ob- struction to its consummation at the first jump was Mayor Bemis with his veto. To be sure the jobhers succecded aftor many months of log-rolling and wive- pulling, but Mayor Bemis stood up for the taxpayers until his veto had been overridden by twelve councilmen, The Ketchum furniture claim is only one of a score of jobs that have been c¢hecked by the veto of Mayor Bemis. Some of these were passed over his head, but quite a number were frustrated, be- cause the jobbers could not muster two- thirds of the council to override the veto, The truth is Mayor Bemis has been the bulwark of the taxpayors for the past two yoars and has saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars by the firm and unswerving stand he has taken in their interest and the close sc: utiny he has given to every item in the appro- priation bills, THE WAY 0U1 Among the many compromise meas- ures introduced in congress on the silyer question are soveral which contain provisions enabling the owner of silvor bullion to take his bullion to the and receive therefor standard silver dollars to the amount of the mar ket value of *his bullion, Some of these measures provide that the value of the bullion shall be de- termined by a commission appointed for the purpose, and some that it shall be determined by the scevotary of the treasury., Whoever was vested with the vower to fix the value of the bul- lion brought to the treasury under such an act would be compeiled to fix it at the market value as near as ho could determine it, So, in eflect, these measures all con- template the sale of silver bullion to the treasury for standard silver dollars at the prico which the owner could ob- tain in gold in the open market. Assuming that the owner of silve bullion found it equally convenient to sell to the treasury, would he find the silver dollars which he then received 4s convenicnt as the gold he could obtain for bis bullion in the market? Certainly not. The owner of silver bullion at present sells to the government and recelves note payable in either gold or silver coin, which he cashes avthe treasury, but always for gold. While such provisions as these, if enacted, would be wholly inoperative, they serve to while away the time of the scnate and postpone the application of ily po al ils, followed for prosent financ the reveal of the purchas the af act ‘to wtio botween the effort to inter ing Sherman silver law, by establish a new metals and an ratio adopted money tiat agvecment huve W THERY active is going to be very quict but pposition to the market house ion by parties who imagine vill dan I'he fact is that market interfore with the . especially since fostly given by telephone and filled wagon delivery.

COUNCILMAN PRINCE, who has been renominated for' a second term by tho republican city convention, has shown himself to be eminently qualified for the place he now holds. He has attended council meetings regularly and given close attention to the business in hand in the committee meetings and in the council.

They may considiér themselves fortunate if their glee is not transformed into dis- comfort before another month rvolls around. o MS to be well understood that the constitutionality of the Nebraska maximum rate law will not be conceded until it is finally established by the United States supreme court.

A good record is a better campaign document than a campaign lie.
