JUST because every oue has acquiesced in the action of congress giving financial ald to the World’s fair a: Chicago isno reas n why every industrial ex- position held in different parts of the United States should apply to congress for assisiance. The latest plea is from New Yuork, which wan's o hold a ‘World's fuir prize winners' exposition as & solace for its failure tosecure the original World's fair. If a bill aiding this undertaking passes ¢omgress the neoxtihing on the list will be an act to grant finuncial assistance to the Podunk county fair. There wmust be an eand to this sowetiwe. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1893, TRYING TO AUMBUG THE VOTERS. The men who are trying to railroad the million and & half hond scheme through next Tuesday are fertile in ex- pedients. The head and front of this scheme, W. L. Wiley, keeps very dis- cretely in the background, and leaves the task of bamboozling the people into voting theso bonds to Dr. Miller. When the schemo was brought for discussion | before the Commercial club Mr. Wiley failed to get an endorsement for it be- cause City Attorney Connell, when the question was squarely put to him, had to publicly admit that the proceeds of the bonds under the proposition as it is worded could not be used for acanal, and, furthermore, that the charter wouid have to be amended before the city conld legally vote money for a canal, To counteract this backset Dr. Miller submitted a serios of questions to the city attoruey which are so ingeniously twisted and wound around as to mystify and confuse people instead of enlighten- ing them. These questions and answers are now published with a grand flourish of trumpets under the heading, ‘‘Con- nell Says it is Legal—The City Attorney Declares the Platte Canal Can Be Built.” Now this declaration is fabricated out of whole cloth. What does Mr. Connell say is legal? He says it is legal for the city to buy out the waterworks or the electric hight plant if n have the money todo it with, Mr. Connell does not say that it is legal to use any part of the proposed bond issue for the build- ing of a canal, even if by so doing we may expect to secure water, The precise language Mr. Connell uses reads as follows: The law does not permit that to he done Indirectly which eannot be domne directly. The city at the present time has no au- thority to vote bonds for tho parpose of construc 1th to create power for operating facts machinery, ete,, even if voted under the pretext ol construct:ng waterworks and an electrio tight piant. Yes, the city attorney declares the Platte canal can be built. So does THE Br But Mr. Connell does not say that the canal can be built by the or by anybody contracting with the city until the charter is amended and the authority is granted by law for building a canal, In this connection let us quote from Judge Dillon on ‘‘Municipal Corpora- tions,” the recognized standard authority on this subject. Judge Dillon says on page 660: Municipal corporations being created chiefly as government agencies and for the attainment of local objects merely, the gon- eral rule is that they cannot pucchase and hold real estate beyond their territorial limits unless the power is conferred by the legislature, But there is another little obstacle in the way of the Wiley-Miller scheme. These gentlemen pretend that we will get a new set of waterworks either by canal or by digging cisterns and thereby save the city 380,000 a year. How will they manage torelieve the city from the contract with the present water com- pany, which runs until 19032 Would not the city have to buy out these works or keep on paying the hydrant rental for atleast ten years? Inasmuch aswe can- not buy out the works for $1,500,000 the whole scheme to save $80,000 a year is a delusion and a snare. The fact is every progressive citizen of Omaha would vote bonds for a canal, but we do not want to vote away a million and a half to be squandered by the city council either for buying out the Thomson- Houston works or some “wild-cat boodle scheme. 1T 1S NOW LAW., The'bill repealing the silver purchase clause of the act of 1890 is now law and goes into effect at onece. In a little more than two hours after the bill was laid be- fore the house yesterday a vote was reached on its final passage, and it re- ceived a majority. of ninety-seven—the vote being 191 for and ninety-four against the measure. The bill was im- mediately sent to the president, who promptly attached his sigaature, so that in the brief time of about four hou the house of representa- tives and the exeoutive disposed of the measure which occupied the senate in debate during:more than eight weeks The majority for the bill in the house was larger than had gener- ally been expected, but the repeal leaders had been very active in marshal- ing their forces, while the certainty that the measure would be passed drew to its support some members who had not been in sympathy with it, but wanted to be on the winning side. The Wilson bill passed the house in August by a majority of 130, but at that time 350 members voted—within six of the total membership of the house—while yoster- day the total vote wasonly 285, Tn view of the fact that mnearly all of the ab- sentees yosterday were from the repeal side it is evident that that cavse had been gaining adherents, The wost important financial contest since the passage of the resumption act in 1875 is ended and the country will feel a sense of relief that it is over with. There will be a hopeful feeling, also, that the result of this legislation may be what has been promised and that its realization may not be far off. Itis probable that to some extent the offect expected to .be produced by the discontinuance of government pur- chases of silver has been discounted, there being observed in some directions, since repeal passed the senate, indica- tions of veturning confidence. The country will be disappointed, however, if there is not something better shown within a reasonable time than mere symptoms of improving confidence, the people wanting substantial evidence 6f a return to healthier business conditions. 8o far as financial affairs are o ed they can be regarded as very satisfactory, That is tu say, there is an ample supply of money at the financial centers for all the requirements of legitimate busi- ness. The banks very genorally throughout the country are well sup- plied, but money is not abundant in the hands of the people. The explanation is to be foundin the fact that the indus trial enterprises of the country are still somewhat depressed. The excess of currency in the banks may fairly be re- gurded as the measure of the business slaguation, and it is vegovery from this condition that is now needed. The dis- | continunance of silver purchases removes, | all doubt as to the continued stabiltity | and soundness of the currency. There ! is no longer any reason for apprehen- | sion on this score, and it is entirely safe to say that it will be | many years befére the United States re- | turns to the silver policy just abandoned, if thay ever do so. A sound and stable currency being thus absolutely assured, wiy may not the country count on a complete restoration of confidence and a resumption of inudstrial and commercial activity? There is apparen:ly only one reason for a feeling of distrust continuing and that is the uncertainty regarding what the party in control of the government | may do in revising the tariff. The in- dustrial interests of the country ought to have some definite intormation as to this matter within a short time, and until they get it there will probably not be much change from prevailing con- ditions. IS BEDFORD THE RGHT MAN? The mayor of Omaha should be in po- sition to enforce the rights and claims of the city as against any corporation that holds a franchise from the eity lor any purpose. He should be in position to deal fairly with the water company, the street car company, the electric lighting company, the gas company and the telephone company without surren- dering any right or privilege which the city has ceserved. Is Mr, Bedford such a man? Will Mr. Bedford, whose patronage as a heavy dealer in coal comes largely from such corporations, dare to do anything as mayor that would offend the managers of these corporations? Does any rational man expect that he would sacrifice his private interests for the public good? The mayor of Omaha should be m position to stand up for the taxpaying citizens when it comes to such questions as the depot controversy, the construc- tion of viaducts, the granting of right- of-way to railvoads that want to come into this city. Could Omaha depend upon Mr: Bed- ford insuch an emergency? Mr. Bed- ford is one of the heaviest shippers in ‘Omaha and he pwes his success in busi- ness lurgely to favors from railroad com- panies. Would Mr. Bedford dare to risk a conflict with the railroad com- panies that might ruin his business in case the interests of Omaha should clash with those of the railroads, with whom he enjoys intimate velations? We do not believe he would. The mayor of Omaha should at all times be in position to stand between the taxpayers and contractors, and to protect consumers of necessaries of life, including fuel and ice, from imposition by dealers. M. Bedford is the head of the Omaha coal <ombine and his vecord in the past shows him to have been very active in imposing oppressive burdens upon consumers of coal. Would he be the right man to suppress or restrain the toal combine in its merciless exactions? Does any rational man believe Mr. Bedford will give up the coal business for the sake of being mayor? For our part we do not believe he will change his ways or his weighing. Taese facts should be pondered over by every voter, and especially by men who own little homes and depend upon their scanty wages for a living. NEGLIG The first duty of the Chicago city au- thorities after the burial of the late Car- ter Havrison will be to provide a tempo- rary head for the great municipality which has been so suddenly deprived of its chief executive offices. Nosooner had the people of Chicago recovered from the first shock given by the news of the terrible assassination than they began to look about them to see who should succeed to the vacant office. Strange to say, they discovered that the statute by which the organization of their city government is regulated offers no specific directions for action 1n a case such as is now presented. The Chicago city charter provides for temporarily filling the office of mayor during the in- cumbent’s illness or absence from the city. It also provides for filling the mayor’s office by a special election should it become permanently vacant. But for the period between the time of its vacation and the time for the special election that statue is absolutely silent. By analogy to the provision in respect to temporary vacancies the place is to be supplied by the city council selecting one of its members to act s mayor for the time being. This is probably the way in which the difficulty will be solved, although there is no precedent for the proposed action of the Chicago oity couneil, This omission in the statute govern- ing the city of Chicago is but one of the examples upon which we are constantly stumbling of the slipshod methods pur- sued by mauy of our legislatures. Much of the legislation is directed ggainst some particular evil or is enacted to -at- isfy somo purticular demand, without considering what might happen under the law upon & certain con- tingency. The Illinols legislature, of course, did not have its attention called to the possibility of an inter- regnum in the mayoralty upon the death ineumbent or it would have pro- vided against such an emergency. Con- gress had not the remotest idea that the Chinese residents of the United States wonld refuse to register under the provisions of the Geary law or it would have made ample appropriation for the deportation c¢f those in default. So with the railroad legislation of the last Neobraska statelegislature, that body neg- lected to provide against the resistance which the railroads were sure to offer to the enforcement of those laws, and as a ¢onsequence the laws are now prac- tically suspended and the efforts at ex- ccuting them lagying and almost im- potent. Chicago will secure a mayor ad in- terim until a special election is called, according to the spirit if not according 1) the letter of its charter, and the leg- isinture will, no doubt, now that the omission has been discovered, remoedy its neglect by making an express statutory provision for a similar ewergeney, should it again ocour, It is possible for any governmental organization to be de- prived of l@«uuve or other officers, and no city charter should fail to ex- pressly ordifi a continuous municipal governments, “/Such negligont legisla- tion may turty et to be little better than no legislation” CHANGE THE RU The United States senate on Tuesday agreed to a vésolution, offered by Sena- ator Blackbfirf of Kentucky, instructing the committee on rules w inquire and report to the senate what revision of or amendments t6/ the rules, if any, should be adopted to.secure a more efficient and satisfactory digposition of the business of the senate. Inagreeing to this resolus tion the senate acknowledged that under the rules as they mow are business is not efficiently and satisfactorily posed of, and in this view the whole coun- 1l unqualifiedly concur. In in- structing the rules committee to in- quire as to what changes should be made in the rules that will put an end to such obstruction to legislation as has been witnessed in the senate during the last two months that body responds to a gen- eral popular demand. If the people could vote upon this matter there can be no doubt that they would be found to be practically unanimous in favor of such amendments to the senate rules as would render it impossible for a minority to delay action upon any ques- tion as was done in the case of the silver purchase repeal bill, and while there would doubtless be a general willingness to allow the minority a fair and rveasonable opportunity for debate there would be found no dis- position among the peoplo to counte- nance the filibustering and the dilatory tactics which characterized the conduct of the minority during the last two months, and which many members of the majority seemed only too willing to tolerate. The term “‘senatorial courtesy,” with all that it implies, has long been in dis- favor with the intelligent people of the country and recent' experience has greatly ‘intensified the popular dislike of it. It stands in the public mind as a synonym for the abuse of prerogative and the disregard of constitutional duty, and this, in fact, is what it amounts to. Shielded by this so-called courtesy senators may not only block legislation - indefinitely, but they may with impunity do 1rreparable injury to 1individuals for the gratifica- tion of personal malice, and this has been done in thousands of cases. The number is legion of those whose reputa- tion has been irremediably damaged in the executive sessions of the senate, in most cases bgepuse of the personal en- mity of a single ,senator, and in such cases there is no redress for the victim, the assassin ‘of' character being fully protected by the*‘courtesy” of the sen- ate. But the great and serious objec- tion to this prineiple is the permission it _gives to' a few ' senators to carry on ar "interminable contest against legislation which is un- mistakably demanded by the majority. Ex-Senator Edmunds, in his. recent let ter to ex-Goverpor Stewart of Vermont, says that ‘‘it is a contradiction in terms to say that couttesy requires a majority to allow the minority’ to determine whether public business shall be carried on or not,” and unquestionably. this view is correct; but the fact is that the coun- try has witnessed a majority of the sen- ate submitting to the defiant attitude of a minority for more than two months, in utter disregard of a most vigorous and persistent popular demand for action, and this was done in the name of “‘sen- atorial courtesy.” The truth is that as long as this principle is adhered to by the senate there will be danger of such an experience as that body has just passed through and the way is open for a stubborn and reckless minority to block legislation, with possible infinite injury to the interests and welfare of the coun- try. Nobody will ask that the minority shall be deprived of a fair and full op- portunity for debate. That would not be wise, nor just, nor desirable. But what is wanted in the senate is adefinite rule under which the majority may pro- ceed to have its will put into effect when a measure has received full and fair discussion. dis- THERE is some slight encouragement in the statement that the gold reserve of the treasury is increasing, because it is upcn this that the country must de- pend to maintain the parity between gold and silver, but on the other hand it is ruther discouraging to find that the receipts continue to fall behind the ex- penditures, the difference thus far for the month of October amounting to over $3,000,000. The fact is that the gold re- serve at this time s almost $18,000,000 behind the maximum, and there is no assurance that “it will not be fur- ther depleted before congress pro- vides some legislation for ad ditional revenue in advance of putting into effect a revised tariff schedule Under ordinary circumstances ther would be a steady growth of the gold reserve during, the next two or three months, but as W{urybudy understands who knows anything about the business situation the conditions are abnormal and therefore thé fluctuations in the gold reserve arecmore likely to be in the direction of a'loss than a gain, It is 1o be expected, however, that us soon as the silver questions out of the way in congress something will be done to remedy this situatl AMONG the candjfates for the council on the democrati,and populist tickets there are four apvofive very good men, and there should beno difficulty in selecting reputablé and trustworthy can- didates in place obithe bluck sheep that i have wormed their way into the repub- : lican tickot. Among those we can safely recommend are Charles Anderson and B. R. Overall, populists: Albert Cahn, William Neve, Ild Howell, John Lemly, Frank J. Barkley and Walter Moios, domocrats. We do not protend, of | course, to say that all other candidates on the democrat and populist council tickets are incompetent or dishonest, but we have named thoso most favorably known to us. The names above men- tioned will afford abundant matevial to pick from. THE canal schemers confess that 81,500,000, is insufficient to build the proposed canal even if it could be up- plied to any such purpose. They claim, however, that it will suflico to construct acomplete system of waterworks. A little investigation into the cost of waterworks plants in other cities of metropolitan pretentions will open their oyes if they ave at all disposed to see. There is not a city in the United States with a population of 100,000 or over that hasexpended less than $2,000,- 000 upon its water works plant. Nor can Omaha be supplied for anything like $1,500,000. Vote down the bond propo- sition, EVERY man of intelligence in Ne- braska knows that the most outragcous frauds have been perpetrated against the state in the matter of furnishing supplies to the state institutions. The supreme court has decided that the Board of Public Lands and Buildings was not responsible. The Lancaster county courts are rapidly acquitting the contractors, Perhaps, after all, the frauds simply perpetrated themselves, THE more District Attorney Baker in- gates into the flagrant disregard of law on the part of Sheriff Bennett and his deputies in connection with Mosher’s imprisonment the more scandal and rot- tenness he will discovel The detail would not be fit for publication in a po- lice gazette or the Chain Gang’s Own, which is being circulated out of the sheriff's office. THE good people of the city had botter let well enough alone. Flying from the ills we have to those we know not of is very foolish. That wasshown by the desertion of Lininger four years ago, when some church people were made to believe that good government was safer in the hands of Dick Cushing. Kansas City Star. Look out for the crank. He is abroad in the land and he does not appear to be very particular at whom he levels his pistol. The travels in waves like other y cannot afford to take chances. At the first outbreak, however slight, the crank should be locked up till he cools off. RIS s Y Now You See It, Now You Don't.

Roval ABSOLUTELY PURE Baking Powder The il Room Pipe Line Through the Polit- ical fFand Bank. A GROUND HOG CASE OF CALAMITY Tobo Castor 018 the Democratic Machine to Facilitate Votes for Harrison - Rall- road Rosses Riveting a Cineh o Employess' Ballots, Laxcovy, [Special to Tk Bre.] Down in the cesspools of corruption, in and about the state houso, and in and abous this beautiful eity, any number of political slates are being made during these bright autumnal days, with the members of the old gang nominating such men s Brad Slaugh- ter or Tom Cooke for tho position of governor of the state. Already, by a cut and dried plan, these political parasites have brought out Smith Caldwell for secretary of state and have issued a flat that Auditor Eugene Moore is to be defeated for renomi nation, providing he should conclude to en ter the race next fall. Kven now the notori- ous C. C. McNish and J. L. McPheely out for places, and all of these men will force themselves to the front if the corporations can succeed this fali and elect their hench- men next Tuc Z Although they have worked with the greatest secrecy, covering up their tracks so far as possiblo, it now transpires that Br Slaughter and Tom Cooke are bauking on pulling Thomas O. C. Harrison of Grand Island through for a place on tho supreme bench of the state. These two satelites and their coworkers expect to elect the Grand 1sland man by the aid of railroad democratic votes, the old soldier vote and the commer- clal vote. Circular letters are being sent out by the thousand, addrossod to the old soldiers, and frantically appealing to them to stand by Harrison in order to rebuke the democrats. These ars are carefully worded and showed the handiwork of an artful dod as they leave the impression that Harr 18 asoldier, when in fact he never saw battle, and never smelled gun powder, ex- ceptin a store, or when he was out duck hunting upon the marshes of his native heath, During the past twn weoks leaving this city have been burdened with circular letters, addvessed to merchants and business men of surrounding towus and to the traveling salesmen upon the road, ex- horting them to vota against Holcomb and for Harrison in order to save the credit of the state, which {s represented to be hang- ing by a thread that is liable to be snapped if the railroad candidate is defeated for tho place upon the supreme bench. Not satisfied with this statement, these letter writers go farther and in the most paintive language which they can command, ascribe the present financial depression and the prevailing hard times to the fear of cap- italists that the west will repudiate its debts, already contracted. Great stress is laid upon the fact, as they put it, that the election of Holcomb would frighten away eastern capital and that the state woud be left a financial wreck. By usiog theso bugbear theories Brad Slaughter and Tom Cooke hope and expect to mislead and decoy all of the timid mer- chants, business men and drummers into supporting the railrond candidate for this important position upon the bench. The thing that this junta which is running the Harrison campaign banks upon the heaviest is the promise of the turniug over of the democratic railroad vote, which is under the leaaership of Tobe Castor, the right-of-way man of the Burlington and the most unscrupulous emissary of Czar Hol- drege,the most cunning of the arful satraps. While Tobo and all of his stalwarts are out shouting for Irvine, it is known that word tas been quietly passed down the line that the railroad vote must be cast for Har- vison. The counting ol the vote will look a defection and a desertion of the demo- ndidate, and it will be charged to Bryan's followers, who are supposed to ve lukewarm, anyway. This will sound plausi- ble enough to the uninitiated, but to those who know the facts the fairy tale will not hold water, as it is imown that Irvine owes his nomination to the Tobe Castor crowd of heelers, who now stand ready to desert their colors and their standard bearer and jump into the railroad camp by making a whole- sale bolv. 1t is confidentially given out that the rail- road czar has issued his instructions to the ofticials of tne railway employes associations to order tho members of all such associations to cast a solid voto for Harrison next Tues- day, plunging the knife into both Holcomb the mails | ot all men and Trvine, This order, of course, will bs held back until forty-cight hours before the opening of the polls on election day, but the bosses express thomselves as being confident that it will be obeyed to tho letter, as its disobeyance means the stonpage of salarics who dare to voto their honest convictions. They claim that the recont editorial in Tie Bre, veforving to the 20,000 railrond serfs will have no moro effect upon the vote than the pouring of water upon the back of aauck The arch conspirators in this city are gleofully pointing to the fact that jast year Tom Mujors had a much largor majority than Governor Crounse and claim that this is conclusive proof that the railrond bosses have their men well in hand_and can_ voto them like a drove of cattle it they feel so disposed.
