Kempton, the woman charged with conducting a place of ill repute, is fighting her case bitterly before the police court. The hearingof the case was resumed this morning, the court being held in the council chamber to accommodate the crowd of men attracted by the prospect of racy opments. ‘I'he case is all the more iuteresting for the reason that it is under- takeu by the authorities under the orders of Mayor Weir, who is determined to go as far s possivle to stamp out the social evil in Liucoln. The fuct that the case is bitterly contested has not discouraged the police. Witnesses were introduced today to prove that the women found in the resort the night it was raided by the police were well known violators of the law. Men were placed on the stand to prove that they had visited Mrs, Kempton and made arrange- ments for entertainment over night with female companions. Mrs. Kempton is the woman who emptied ner revolver at the police a week ago last Sunday night when they effected an entrance to her rooms. Mayor Welr's Vetoes. Lhe regular session of the city council was not held last evening owing to the lack of a quorum, but an attempt is being made to nola a seasion this afterncon. Mayor Weir submitted three vetoes to resolutions adopted by the council at its regular meet- ing lust week. One was for the repair of the roadway on O strect, hetween Twenty- ninth and ~ Thirtieth streets, the mayor deemiug it unwise to expend theroad fund on contract work inside of a paving district. ‘The resolution for a turnpike rond on Thir- tieth street, from Fair to Center,was vetoed for the reason that the mayor does not be- lieve the work can bo economically done while the ground is frozen. The third veto covered the resolution to grade North Twelfth street, from Salt creek to Nance street. The mayor advances the reason that the worl cannot be satisfactorily done while the frost is in the ground. Fire in a Saloon. Shortly before 1 o’clock this morning the fire department was called to the Diamond saloon at 1434 O street by a blaze thas had been started in some mysterious manuer in the ceiling - the rear of the room. The building is a two-story one, and the bar- tender, Henry Dignan, lived with his family in the rooms above the saloon. 1t took the. department over an hour to extinguish the fire, and before thoy had accomplished their work Dignan's household effects were ruined by the flames, smoke and water. The bar fixtures were removed, but the damage to the rooms and contents will reach nearly £500. Fined an Even Hundred, Samuel Means, the Madison county man convicted of passing counterfeit money in the federal court last week, was brought be- fore Judge Dundy for sentence this after- noon. Before passing sentence Judge Dundy pernitted the wife of the prisoner to make an appeal for her husband. Mrs. Means said that she and her husband were prac- tically without means of support and that if lie was sent to the penitentiary their home would be broken up and she would have no meuns of supporting herself and her children. She begged the judge to fine her husband aud not to include imprisonment in his sentence. Judge Dundy stated in reply that the law fixed voth fine and imprison- ment, at the discretion of tho court. All of tho jurors, with but oue exception, had recommended a fine instead of imprison- ment, but he said that the little child which had entered the court room with her un- fortunate father had done more to sceure a light punishment than anything else, The judge then sentenced Means to pay o fine of $100 and costs and to remain in the custody of the United States marshal until the ~mgney was paid into court.

The Schlitz building was formally opened 1o the public yesterday and was thronged for hours with delighted humanity. The towering gem of enterprise was completed last weel at a total cost of $185,000. Of this amount §65,000 was spent for realty. The contracts were filled mostly by Omaha firms, as the Schlitz Brewing company believes in encouraging home industries and home labor as much as possible. The structure is situ- ated on Sixteenth street, next to the Board of Trade building. It has a frontage of sixty-six feet and is 132 feet in length. Five floors are completely equipped with modern conveniences, including electricity, steam heat, exposed plumbing and artistic finish- ings. An electric Crane elevator affords quick transit facilities. The main entrance to the building is on Sixteenth street. The basement is devoted to wine cellars, refrig- erators, kitchen service and an electric plant. The boiler rooms are located in the rear of the latter. The first floor is occupied by the Schlitz restaurant and bar, where refreshments of an epicurean or liguid nature can be obtained at popular prices. The interior appointments of this porzion of the building is a study. Over £30,000 has been expended n rich de- signs of decorative art and furnishings. Upon entering this palatial cafe the visitor is greeted with a solid column of marble, surmounted with the familiar trade mark of thecompany. The doors which constitute the portals of this “up-to-date” enterprise are made ot birdseye maple with silver plate trimmings. Tho floor is composed of blue and cream tiling. One hundred and twenty- five incandescent lights nestle like small stars in the ceiling, which consists of papier mache of cream color, thus blending harmo- niously in the general effect. The walls pre- sent an entraucing array of largo mirrors, which reflect paradisal pictures of the place. A large oil painting representing the earth, encircled by o pennant bearing the word ‘‘Schiltz,” adorns the east wall. The furniture in the restaurant is all made of birdseye maple, with silver decorations and elaborate cacving. The bar counter is of particularly attractive design. ‘I'he top is of the best mahogany and the base is a solid ono of Tennessco marble, A canopy of blue and old gold looks down upon the heads of the “mixologists” as they supply the thirst of appreciative patrons, The balance of the finisiiings are of the King Louis XV style. The lunch coanter and cigar stand are fully up to the general standard of excel- lence that characterizes the entire plant. No expense has been spared to make the Omaha house as complete in all its appointments as the one at Milwaukee. Patrons are kept warm by gilded radiators, and the windows are filled with palms and potted plants. The electroliors are glitter- ing galaxies of beauty. Even the cuspadores are in keeping with the rest of the magnifi- cence that forms a feast for the eyes of visitors, The cafe has been leased by Mr, Henry Scharf, a hotel man ‘of large expe- rience in London and Paris. Hoe was in charge of the famous White Horse innat the World’s fair, and has been in the bus- iness the greater portion of his hfe. Mr. Scharf has surrounded himself with a pro- ficient force of employes, who will attend to patrons with punctilious regard for Juty. “The upper floors of the building will be oc- cupied by offices and a large number of ten- ants have alveady been secured. Mr, Charles Kirchoff was the architect of the building and he has overy reason to feel gratified ut the triumph of good taste which now con- fronts him and givesto Omaha a magnificent pyramid of progressive architecture.

A. Scott. U. B. Balcombe has no intention of ceas- ing to eat just because another fills the posi- tion of deputy city clerk, which he has oceu- pied for the past two years. On the con- traey, he will continue to eat just as much and as often as is possible on a of 80 a month, and the bills will be paid out of the public till as heretofore. A special meeting of the Board of Publio Works was held yesterday, and it was strictly on the quiet. As soon as the mew- bers were assembled, Major Balcombe, the progenitor of U, B. Balcombe and incident- ally street commissionor, imparted 1o his as- sociates bis overweening desire to have his son installed as sidewalk inspector in place of O. A. Scott, who has been looking after the duties of that position for the past year. The wishes of the major were treated with the utmost deference, and his appointicent of “Bub" was formally ratified and con- firmed with a celerity and grace thut the councit could not successfully imitate if it tried a year. The changé will not take effect until the first of next month,. but at that time “Bub" Balcombe will have an- other city job and Mr. Scott will go out in the cold to huat oue.

Iiven if a duty should be placed upon the crude sugar they could not add an additional duty on refined sugar, as that would bea step for protection, and would destroy the “revenue” principle, suggesting a duty on the crude. The opinion 1s freely expressed by republicans in bozh branches of congress that no further change will be made in the sugar schedule of the bill eithor in the house or senate, The democrats feel that they are accomplishing by indirection what they have long prated about dircctly; that they will kill the trust by refusing pro- tection, ana will not have to enforce tho anti-trust law which lies dormant upon the lutely free.

WASHINGTON'SIVACANT SEAT, Republican Natlonal Advisos the Electio Wasnixaroy, Jan, 26—When the republi- can national committeo recently met in this city a resolution was offered requesting tho governor of Washington to call a special legislature to elect a senator.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, —Representative Me- Gann of Illinols, chairman of the house com- mittee on labor, has given much study for years to the relations of capital and labor. Mr. McGann thinks that the present busi- ness conditions are not the result of any dif- ferences between capital and labor. In an interview today he said: “If the labor com- mittee was to introducea bill intended to re- adjust business on the right basis it would be denounced as revolutionary. In my own opinion we must retrace our steps to first principles. We arc operating under economic laws in which the great fuctor of machinery was not originally considered, economic laws which have also been distorted by unnatural superstructures built upon them to meet the violent conditions of war times. It was never intended that the government should interefere with matters of trade. They should be left to be regulated by the laws of supply and aemand, after the government has levied an impartial tax to pay its little expenses. One fact sesms to have been established by this tariff debate, that capital never accords labor more than the lowest wages it is compelled to pay. Republicars and democrats have admisted this, and only by organization of labor have wages been raised. Interference of the government has always been in behalf of capital. Labor has never sought bounties. It is only capital that comes here when profits arc not sufi- cient and asks for aid to carry on business. After it is secured capital never shares with labor, excent as it is comuelled to." INCLUDED THE INCOME TAX, It Will Be Iucluded in the Internal Reve- nuo Blil. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The full ways and means committee has voted to report the internal revenue bill, including the in- come tax. The vote was 9 to7. All the re- publicans and Messrs. Cochran and Stevens voted in the negative. The success of the income tax men in finally getting the bill out of the committee was achieved after a sharp contest. The vepublicens retused to vote, Three demo- crats, Cockran, Stevens and Bynum also re- fused to vote. This broke a quorum and the income tax men were powerless, Then Mr. Reed came to the rescue and said if another roll call was taken the repub- licans would vote to make a quorum, but not 10 favor a report. The roll call gave fifteen votes, or four more than a quorum, Cockran and Stevens still refusing to vote, but the quorum was made without them, Then the mouion was put on reporting the bill o the house. This prevailed by the following vote: Yeas-— Bynum, Whiting, Breckinridge, Montgomery, Bryan and Turner. democrats.) ' Nays—Recd, Burrows, Dalzell, Hopkins (republi Stevens (democrats)—7.

If ever there conld be doubt on this subject,supreme court decisions had settled the question for all time. After reviewing the decisions of the supremoe court velative to this matte the senator took up the question of election frauds and reviewed indetail recent in- stances of corruption in New York City. Tlhe scnator then continued: “The pas- sage of the laws which it is now proposed to repeal and the appointment of supervisors in accordance with their provisions, put stop in a large measure to those frauds. Whatever the defeets were in this legisla- tion—and they were many—at the time they at least produced this good result; these frauds thus brought to an end were the work of that eminent democrat, the late William L. Tweed. But although he was driven from the field of his political activity and died in obscurity, his throne has not been left vacant, nor his sword unswayed He has both successors and imitators. I will take only one very recent examplo to prove this and to show that if those laws were needed to repr Mr. Tweed's actav- ity they are just as necessary today to curb the zeal of those who would rival him in his chosen sphiere of public usefulness. “Last fall Mr. John Y. McKane of Graves- end, L. I. rose at a bound to national repu- tation, If he lacked the powerful imagina- tion of Mr, Tweed in dealing with the vot- ing hists and voters he quite equaled him in boldness and efticiency. 1f his verformances were less picturesque and finished than those of his great master, they were quite as flagrant. ' will describe what he did, not in 1y own language, but in the forcible sentences of Mr. St. Clair McKelway, a democrat and the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, the leading democratic newspaper of that city. Mr. McKelway states what oc- curred at Gravesend last fall as follows: *At this election this man Lad an 8,418 popu- lation to take into consideration in his town. He credited himsclf with 6,218 voters. Never did mathematician or fecundity of imagination further go, I dislike to cor- rect Mr. McKelway, but I do not think that this statement s quite accurate. In the carlier and better days Lhave shown Mr. Tweed displayed a richer imagination in dealing with election figures than Mr. Me- Kane, but on the other hand, in justice to McKane, it ought to be said that Mr. Tweed never beat and stoned Americun citizens be- cause tiey carried a mandate of the supreme court authorizing them to cxamine the voting districts. ound tion Oun the Negro Question. “Mr. McKane's performances,” continued Mr. Loage, “prove suvfliciently that crimes against the suffrage are attempted now just as flagrantly in our northern cities as the, were more than twenty years ago, and that the need of strinzent legislation, both state and national, to prevent and punish them is as great as ever. In the mnorth election frauds are the vulgar crimes of dangerous men with criminal propensities. Public opivion there so regards them, and when that public opinion is aroused it treats them simply as criminals to be dealt with in the courts. In the south the case is widely different, for there the subject is compli- cated with a race question and with senti. ments which are the evil legacies of slaver, and civil war. “¥For my own part, profound as my convic- tions arc on this question of honest elec- tions, I have never sought to disguise the difficulties of that question in the south, ‘I'he future of the negro race in the United States is one of the gravest probloms to be met by the American people. It is not a problem which can be scttled this year or next. It will remain with us and our chil- dren for many years to come. However slavery was_expiated by the war, its results remained. Nations unable as mea to escupe the conscquences of thelr own actions, whether the actious be good or had. “Phe negroes whom we brought here are siill with us, although slavery has vanished, and their numbers increase from day to day. Howover we may divide among ourselves tho responsibility for their presence they at least are wholly innocent. We brought them here with cruelty and violence and against thewr will. 'We took from them their liberty and we held them in bondage. We have done them great wrong. They ask that as we have mwade them American citizens they should have all the rights before the law bich that name amplies. To the: balieve them to be entitled, and s tho ts come within the jurisdict ion of the United States I believe they should be protected by the national power. Why He Opposes Kopeal, “I am opposed to the repeal of these laws because it 1s a direct blow to national senti- ment and to the right and authority of the nation. 1f the Ve No purpose exeept as an expression of national right and authority these laws ought not to be touched. I have endeavored in the past to improve them, but the crowning defect of theso laws and of efforts which have been made to add to th is nov that they go too far, but thut theyare ill constructed” and do not go far enough. ational elections, that is of congressmen, re by the constitution whelly within the power of congress. Should congress exert that power, these elections should be abso- lutley separate from the elections of state or municipality. They should be held on a dif- ferent day from any local election and they should be conducted und protected by national oficers and not by local oficers. The United ates has no right to meddle in any way with state, county or ecity elections, and in my theory of the constitution the state should not meddle in any way with elections of the members of the national house. T'he present attempt is an effort to evade the domain of nutional authority, to break down national power, to sweep from the statute books any recognition of- national rights. On this ground 1 oppose this bill. And f also oppose it because 1 believe that national elections, separate tfrom all local elections, should be under the control and conduct of 'the United States to the end v citizens of the United States, when in that capacity they exerciso thoir highest privilege, may be able to do 86 without fearor favor.
