HASCALL is very cheerful and hopeful. Tfe always is when ho is a can- didate. IN 2rEsE modern days of politics physical endurance rather than intellec- tual eapacity seems to be the true meas- ure of statesmanship. SENATOR ALLEN of Nebraska is cer- tainly entitled to the palm of leadership among the free silver senators. He has demonstrated his ability to outtalk them all. OUR present city governmentis as good as any ve over had, If there is any fault te be found it is not with the mayor, but with the men who vote to override his vetoe: IF Mavor Bemis had not filed so many veto messages with the city coun- cil during his first term of oflice he would not encounter so much opposition in his candidacy for a sccond term. A NEW street railway trust was orgunized in San Franciseo yesterday. he San Francisco people evidently have little fear of the voluble promis in the last democratic national platform. The State Banking Board will e commended for any efforts it may sco fit to take in regard to the suppression of the alleged bond investment com- panies. But it will hardly be ex- cused for further delay. THE showing made by Nebraska in the most recent report of the Depart- ment of Agriculture is gratifying to every citizen of the state. In the gen- eral condition of her corn erop she out- ranks Kansas and Missouri and falls but little below lowa. TE asylum boodlors will be placed on trial at Lincoln next week. The people of tho stato will watch the proccedings with & great deal of interest, for the boodlers have boasted all summer that their trial and acquittal would boa mere perfunctory process. OUR amiable local contemporary has suddenly become rantankerously demo- cratic. Everydemocratic candidate from mayor down to constable is compotent, intelligent, honest and spotless, and all their competitors in the political race are knaves, idiots and fools. CONSCIENTIOUS members of the house of ropresentatives aro hesitating be- tween duty at Washington and the World's fairat Chicago. To force upon them so diflicult a choice is one more cruelty to be charged to the obstinacy of the silver camp senators, THAT “*hold-your-cotton” eireular just issued by the South Carolina farmers alliance may be good advice, but the cotton planters of the south are in about as good a position to accept it as were the wheat growers of the west at the time of the “hold-your-wheat" circular, FIGHTING for the enforcement of the South Cavolina dispensary law goes merrily on, one judge issning deerees for its execution while another declares it unconstitutional and void, South Carolina’s judges might preserve the dignity of the law by getting together. Conc SMAN GEARY'S denunciation of the conduct of the demoeratic admin- istration in respect to the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion law will proba- bly be taken as a proclamation that one more democrat has renounced all claim to patronage at the hands of Cleveland oflice dispenscrs. THE action of the secretary of state in declining to file the articles of incor- poration of the fraudulent bond invest- ment companies comes a little late, but it is right. A good many of these com- panies have boen given a semi-official standing by reason of the fact that they able to advertise that they are incorporated under the laws of Nebraska. THE secret out at last. The rail- road organs announce that the Nebraska republicans are to rebuke President Cleveland and that this is the year to do it. They propose to ignore the looting of the state treasury, the cell house steal, the hanging up of the maximum rate bill, the vindication of impeached officials, and the capture of the state convention by the railroad cohorts and tight it all out on purely nationsl issues ' THE POSITION DEFINED, Graxy IsLasn, Oct. 1).-~To the Editor of Tne Bree: Will you define your position with regard to Juage Harrison and tell us why he ia not enti 0 your unqualified support? STALWART REPUBLICAN, The position we take in the present campaign is that of & nonconformist or dissenter. We not regard Judge Harrison as the choice of the republican party. although hie holds credentials as the candidate for whom a majority of the republican convention recorded its vote on final bailot. It is a mattor of common notoriety that a majority of the republican state committee are corporation hencnmen who have prostituted the machinery of party at the behest of railway mana who had entered into a con- spiracy with impeached state officials to 1 do the s depose Judge Maxwell. Their first step was to call a convention of nearly one thousand delegatos. Thoy knew that few farme merchants or workingmen coutd afford topay full fare to Lincoln and back and therefore would either have to stay away or by accepting railroad put themselves under obligations to their managers. The second step was to select for the of the convention _George Thummel, a Union Pacific attdrney, as crafty as he is unscrupulou: For months before the convention as- sembled all the runners the railroads uld muster had scouring the highways and byways, first in seavch of straw men who would stand for nomi- nation in counties that were liable to go for Maxwell, and secondly to work up unpledged delegations that could bo depended on to go for any candidate on whom they could concentrate. With all the corporate forces massed against him, and with the state house plunderers plotting night and day, Judge Maxwoil i nearly 400 delegates instructed and fully 100 ple d to him were un- instructed. But free passes and boodle converted many of these delegates be- fore they had cast the first ballot and the conspirucy to depose Maxwell tri- umphed in the nomination of Judge Harrison. Now are told that Judge Tfarrison came honestly by his nomination and had no part in the corvupt intrigue by which the convention was captured for him. This may be true and it may not be true. [t was known ten days before the convention met that Judge Harrison was to be sprung as the dark horse. It was known and talked about in the Maxwell cancus on the night preceding the convention that the opposition to Maxwell would be pooled on Harrison. Pooled by whom? By the railroad managers and state house gang. Who led off with a solid county delegation for Harrison on the first ballot? Loran Clarke of Boone, one of the most noto- rious corporation tools in the whole state. Who was made chairman of the state committee? Brad Slaughter, the vor passes chairman been who man who counted Loran Clarke in for tre surer in 1882 when White of Burt s nomivated: a man who belongs, soul and body, tothe corporations. Whom did they elect as Slaughter's sceretary? Tom Cooke, one of the most rotten of the Lincoln ringsters. We are told in holy wr fruits ye shall know them. elsewhere it is written: “Do figs grow from thistles?” Is it possible that Judge Harrison did not know he was playi into the hands of the conspirators when he headed a delegation for the Burling- ton railroad attorne Can he plead the baby aet and truthfully assert that the nomination was torced upon him aguinst his wiill when he stood up through five ballots and never raised his voice to protest against his name being used? Surely Judge Harrison must have known as much about the program of the combine as Church Howe, This is not the worst feature of Judge Harrison's candidacy What position would he occupy on the supreme bench if he is convinced that he Lis selection to the money, patron- age and influence of the conf erated railroad corporations? Can any supreme judge expeet to retain the confidence and respect of the people when he owes his promotion to the mcthods that were employed in turning down Judge Maxwell? What position will Judge fHarrison occupy when he is made to know and feel that he must not incur the displeasure of the railroad oligarchy that dictated the retircment of Maxwell without sharing his fate and that of Reese? Nominated by the help of the corporate forces and elected as he would be by their active help, would Judge Harrison dare to pronounce the maximum rate law constitutional even if he was convinced that the law is valid and the rates reasonable? This is the lamentable feature of the situation and this the reason why no patriotic republican who desires to see his party freed from the 'grasp of cor- porate powor can give Judge Harrison unqualified suppor “By their ' And again owes MAJOKITY RULE, In discussing the rights of the minor ity to obstruct legislation Senator Voor- hees used the following languag. ir, 1 would rather be carried from this desk fect foremost and put to sleep in my home in Terre Haute than to yield the principle that the 'majority has a right to govern.” The doctrine of equality being recog- nized and the vote of one citizen being counted the sawe as that of another, the voico of the majority must of neces- sity control and in all public affairs must be trusted as the voice of all. As it is impossible for the people to govern themselves divectly, they select representatives or agonts to act for them, und in the choice of these agents the choice of the majority must be re- garded as the practical choice of all, Our legislators, standing on a like plane of equality with respect to each other, the voice of the majori the voice of all. 'While it is the duty of legislators to cavefully consider matters requiring their action, it is also their duty, after having taken a reasonable time to investigate and discuss the { matter, to come to some conclusion, and when' they do so the conclusion of the majority becomes that of all. Obstruction pure and simple should not be tolerated within our legislative halls. The majority in the senate are responsible to their constituencies and forever not to the minority. They are not to be dictated to nor their motives to be impugned by the minority, The claim of the minority in the senate, that it and not the majority represents the true senttments of a majority of the people, cannot be taken as true, because not at the time susceptible of proof. In voting for what in his own opinion is for the best interests of his own constituency and of all the people, a legislator does his whole duty. If the majority be against him, it is then his further duty to cheerfully submit and not strive to embarrass or obstruct the action of the body of which he is a member. MNEBRASKA AND 10WA ALES. The topography of Nebraska is far more favorable to railway construction than that of Towa. lowa is crossed by two main water divides, running northand south, and by many smaller ones running in the samo divection, especially in the southern portion of the state. The balk of her railway traflic being from west to east, her railroads, especially her trunk lines, cross these stroams and divides almost at right angles, thus entailing many ex- pensive cuts, fills, culverts and bridges, while the general surface of the country is 80 rough, especially in the southern portion, as to make necessary many curves. These curves and grades add to the expense of operating and fre- quent rains and washouts to the expense of maintaining theso lines. Nebraska has considerable advantage over Towa in these respects. Her topog- vaphy in gencral, and es pecially in those portions whero trafic is heavy, is e tremely favorable to railway construc- tion; her main ers run generally castward and the bulk of her railway traffic in the same direction. The tributaries ofthese rs also generally flow in an easterly direction, while back from these stroums and between her main rivers are found level or gently undulating prairies, equally favorable to railway construction and to the growth of those products for the transportation of which our rail- ways were built. Even tho gen- eral siope of the country from woest to cast assists to speed our bulky products eastward to their destination, In so far as these conditions affect the cost of constructing, operating and maintaining our railroads, they lave a bearing on the question of rates. If you will take a general look at a map of Towa and then at one of Nebraska and observe how the streams run and how often the railroads cross them, and bear in mind the fact that almost every time a railroad crosses a water course it means a bridge and two heavy grades, especially in Towa, you will better understand the advan- tage Nebraska cnjoys i this respect. Alfter offsetting these advantages against those which Towa enjoys by rea- son of her larger traflic and cheaper fuel, one might be justified in conclud- ing that Nebraska shippers were en- titled to almost the same rates as those of Towa. We are certainly justified in maintaining that the rates named in our maximum rate law, which are from 15 to 30 per cent higher than those of lowa or similar services, are not t0o low. MAKE HIM GO TO WORK, The pernicious effect of partisanship in the schools is becoming more mani- fest overy day. The Board of Education employs u superintendent of buildings at a salary of $1,800 a year. This means $5 a day, including Sundays, from January o January. Such a liberal salary should enable the board to get a first class me- chanic who would devote his entire time to the supervision and repair of school houses. It seems, however, that Mac- leod, the present superintendent, con- siders it his function to pack political caucuses and conventions and use his place to further the political ends of a faction. Instead of attending strictly to his duties he has tor weeks been cavorts ing around with ward heelers and roust- abouts who malke a living out of politics. Within the last few days he has scandal- :d the public scrvice by a controversy with Mayor Bemis, in which he assumed the role of political bully and bulldozer. How much further this man Macleod will be allowed to carry his insolent meddling with city and county politics remains to be seen, His course does not certainly reflect credit on the manage- ment of our schools, The superintends ent of buildings should either be made to attend to the business for which he draws $150 a month out of the school fund or he should bs dismisscd. There is no room for political ward bosse the public school system, which should as much as possible ve divorced from politics. THE COUNTY CAMPAIG Two years ago an intense fecling was worked up in this community over the fact that Irish-Americans had for many years monopolized the offices and patron- age of the city hall and court house. An issue was made in the locel campaign in which the candidates ranged themzelves and were'elected or defeated, Sheriff Bennett and all the candidates for county officers were elected on this issue. These officers now present them- selves for re-election. Three of them have entered into a combine to force their renomination, It isnow nolonger u question whether Trishmen shall monop- e the county offices, but whether tha men who were elected on the anti-Irish issue have shown themselves competent and trustworthy. On this point alone hinges the continued supremacy of tho republican party in Douglas county. It is an open secret that Sheriff Ben- nett has after fair trial proved himself incompetent, and has been compelled to keep a substitute to do the inside work of his office. That, however, might be overlooked. Mr, Bennett's chief dis- qualification is his mismanagement of the jail and favoritism shown to Con- viet Mosher. Sherift Bennett cannot give plausible excuse for the frequent juil deliverios, nor can he or any other man justify the Mosher scandal. Mosher has not only enjoyed the freedom of the jail but tke freedom of the city and the suburbs. Mosher has been employed as a guard for other prisoners while they were being conveyed to the jail, and we ave credibly informed that he has been taken to road houses for diversion. Mosher has embezzled more than #3500, 000. He is presumed to have secreted & THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY. OCTOBER 13 great part of this swag and the natur- ally inforence is that he is paying hand- somely for the favors shown him by his jailors, .18 Sheriff Bennett's intrusion into the re- cent citizens’ moéting also shows him to be totally unfit ff the position of chief police officer of the county. The republican ¢onvention must neces- sarily hesitate before they commit the party to au endotserdent of Mr. Bennett. The carcer of County Judge Eller is also open to very serjous criticism. Mr. Eller has very materially increased the costs of probate; which affects cvery widow and orphan as well as legatees of estates. He has almost doubled the clerical force of the office, although here is no evidence of material increase of business. Thene have been man complaints about Mr. Eller's partiality to favored litigants which in a number of instances has been very flagrant. The question is shall the republicans of Douglas county make a defensive cam- paign when they have abundant ma- terial among practicing lawyers whose record is unassailable? Toe BrEg de- sires to see the ropublican county ticket elected from top to bottom, but we can- not hope for success if the ticket is weighted down by candidates whose record is indefensible. The citizens of Douglas county want good government above all things, and they will endeavor to get it by rejecting all candidates who cannot show a clean bill. ANUTHER APOL GY, Hayward was the candidate of the rail- ronds and the state house party, and his nomination would have been equivalent to defeat. Harrison was uot a candidate at all. He was brought out in spite of himself, after hisown county had been instructed for Abbott, and he was nominated as the only possible solution of & most serious prob- lem. To “diein the ditch” with Maxwell was to insure Hayward's nomination, and looking this alternative squarely in the face awreat many Maxwell delegates took the other horn of the dilemma_and helped make Harrison the candidate.— Kvarney Hub. Judge Harrison'’s morning and evening prayer in this campaign should be: *'Good Lord, deliver me from my fool friends.” The efforts of the railroad crowd to give the Maxwell men credit for bringing about Harrison's nomina- tion is the thinnest piece of campaign balderdash that has floated to the sur- face since the convention adjourned. Maxwell's friends did not nominate Harrison, neither did they vote with him. A large number of railroad em- issaries masqueraded as Maxwell men in order to secure seats in the conven- tion, where they could deliberately vio- late their instructions. These are the men who assisted in Harrison's nomina- tion. They would have voted for Hay- ward in proference to Harrison, but they did not dare to go to so great a length. THE Bar association of New York has again recorded .its vigorous protest against the perversion of the bench to a mere means for rewarding political spoilsmen. The legal profession of the metropolis, in repudiating as a body the democratic nomination of Judge May- nard,dictated by the Tammany hosses, is showing the people where the line of partisanship must be drawn. Partisan- ship on the bench has resulted in in- competent judges, in corrupt judges and now tnreatens the elevation of an acknowledged criminal to the highest court of the state of New York. Noth- ing that has happened in recent years has afforded so strong an argument for a nonpartisan judiciary everywhere. IT 1s now intimated that the free coinage advocates have established a literary bureau in Washington, not for the purpose of disseminating educational matter among the people, but to supply well-meaning but unposted silver sena- tors with material for long-winded speeches. Taken in connection with the quality of the speaches that have been made the insinuation is one that should be indignantly resented. Stand up, you silver senators, and deay hav- ing had tho assistance of a hterary bureau in the preparation of your speeches. JEFF BEDFORD is not only a heavy coul dealer, but he always has several irons in the fire that take up his time year in and year ont. If elected mayor he would be expected to devote the greater part ot his time to the business of the city. In other words, would he givo up his own business or neglect the duties of his oftice? Is it presumable that he will go out of business for the sake of the honor and $2,500 a year? ‘WE DOUBT that Senator Allen’s pop- ulist constituents are willing to go so far as to approve the part he is playing in the obstructionist program of the sil- ver camp senators, Populists as a rule believe in government by the majority, and place their hopes in attaining the position of a majority rather than in dictating from the stand of a minority, THE senator who despises the fedoral patronage that has been so ruthlessly withheld from 90 per cent of the demo- crats of his state must include himself among the 90 per cent. No other calamity could reach ko near home.

Colonel Majors has deserted his colleagues in dis- tress and has gone to Chicago. Nels Olson ran for the state senate against James E. North last year and was defoated North resigned the scnatorship to become revenue collector, and now Mr. Olson has been nominated by tho republicans of Platte and Colfax counties for the vacant office. Custer county people are up in arms against Congressman Kem for going back on his home town and recommending the aboli tion of the Broken Bow land office. His action is characterized as a “diabolical act committed against & people for a purely selfish motive." Postmaster Gilmore of Brokon Bow is also editor of a democratic newspaper, the Chief and it is said the populist county central com mittee have made arrangements to sccure the active support of the papor. Here's an- o other chance for Kuclid Martin and Mr Sheean to got in their work: Peto Elsasser's gum-chowing proclivities may defeat him for register of deeds.

Just becausea candidate for shoriff in a central Nebraska county celebrated his nomination by getting paralyzed drunk and making an exhibition of himself, the cen- tral committeo of his party has taken his name off the ticket and substituted that of aman who knows enough tostay sober on such oceasions. The old rule that whisky and politics go hand in hand don't work every time in Nebraska. The Lincoln county delegation to the ro- publican state convention was done an in- Justice by the statement thatit deserted Maxwell on the third formal ballot. The delegation stood solidly for the chief jus- tice until the last ballot, and only wont to Harrison when it was seen he had enough votes to mnominate him. If the other pledged delegations had follawed instrue- tions as honorably Maxwell would have been the republican nomineo, e T TR FEDERAL ELECEION LAW, Minneapolis Tribune: Viewing the result from the standpoint of constitutional la the doctrine of state's rights has won mighty victory. At one sweep the national government has been deprived of all super- vision of the election of its lawmakers or its chief executive. The business is loft en. tirely to the states, Philadelphia Times: Eight members of the house of representatives assisted on Saturday at the trewendous and exciting d bate upon the repeal of the election laws, That is, six of them, besides the unfortunate man in the chair, were present while two others made long windy speeches pro and con.

That is the plam and controlling truth about the mat- ter, and the people will not fail to under- stand it and to hold responsiblo for it the party that expects to profit by it. St. Paul Glob>: The repeal of the federal election laws, an Instrument of tyranny and fraud, is un accomplished fact, as far as tho action of the house is concerned.
