Boss McKane, just sentenced to six years in the penitentiary for violating the election laws, insists that he never did anything wrong to his knowledge. He would not be a finished criminal if his memory were not as elastic as his conscience. If the tiger is to be choked by resolution of the police commission, don’t make a farce of the business. There should be no favored gambling houses that get tips from police headquarters of iutended raids. One gam- bling house is just as unlawful as another. Mrs. Cleveland has intimated that she is not in sympathy with the woman suffragists who have been in session at Washington. She has enough to occupy her attention with soclal and family duties. Mrs. Cleve- land has in this shown her common sense. Tsn't this an inappropriate {ime to raise the salaries of employes working under the Board of Education? If the school hoard feels able to incur unnecessary expens there can not be much call for the ins creased tax levy which it has demanded ot the clty council. The meeting of the Improved Stock Breed- srs assoclation at Columbus will be represen- tative of one of the important Industries of the state and one capable of considerable pansion. Anything caleulated to promote the interests of stock breeding in- Nebraska will be of benefit to the people of the entire state, Some the appear to think that the appropriation madoe membej Board of Health of for sanitary work is not intended to hold the expenditures of the board within fts limits The board is expected to guard the health of the community, and to do so all the year round on the funds placed at its disposal The board will do well to cut the garment according to the cloth. The Board of Police Commissioners has re- solved that gambling is illegal and should be suppressed. The chief of police now asks what he is expected to do about it and the reply is “Walt another week.” Now what loes the chief expect the hoard to do beyond pussing the resolution? Is the board to deflue what gambling is and name the places and resorts where gambling s going on? David A." Wells ventures into print to deny that he has the appointment of post- master at his home in Norwich, Conn., ab- solutely within his gift. He says furth that his opinfon on this subject has not even been requested. And this after all Mr. Wells has done for President Cleveland and the tariff reforme There must be such a thing as she ingratitude of presidents as well as of republics. The varlous business organizations in this city should imme take up the question of celebrating the twenty-fifth ann men ately versary of the completion of the Union Pacifie railroad, which oceurs May 10 of thi: year, The only way to get up a celebration worthy of the event is to begin proparations early and to have every detail arranged for. tennial of the joining of the cific should be no less an occasion rejoicing Omaha than the when the telegraph nounced to an enthusiastic throng the driv- Ing of the The quarter c: Atlantic and the P for original n was | Mr. Churchill volunteered to defend Sam Macleod against charges of negligence and ompetency as a matter of principle and then has Macleod present a claim for $200 against the school board for his attorney fee.

All these steps are not to be taken in @ day. ests were unanimously If all inter- greed upon pushing . it could not be completed short of several years. It is a question as yet whether the people of the panhandle really want to forsake Nebraska for Wyoming, and it is a greater question whether such a move would benefit either state. It will be quite safe to move slowly in the matter, partic- ularly since nothing can be accomplished by inordinate haste. the proje KEEP ON IN THE GOOD WORK. The secretary of the Assoclated Charities has made another appeal through The Bee for further aid in behalf of 800 families that are almost destitute and wholly dependent upon charity. The continued cold weather has brought on another crisis in the affairs of the charity organizations. Contributions have dwindled down to almost nothing, while want and suffering show little or no abate- ment. There is danger that the rigid win- ter will extend beyond the middle of March. This means untold suffering for hundreds of men, women and children who are destitute and in no condition to help fhemselves. Now Is the time for earnest, vigorous and effective relief work. The amount contrib- uted by the moneyed men of Omaha during the spasmodic relief spurt was a mere pit- tance and has all been disbursed. At a low estimate It will take from $10,000 to $20,000 worth of fuel and provisions to tide over the season of distre More funds must be raised and more supplies contributed, and those who are in condition to do so should at once tender what they are willing to give to the various charity and relief organizations. It goes without saying that The Bee has the ear of almost every man and woman in Omaha that reads a newspaper. Our col-| umns always have been and will continue to remain at the service of all those who are engaged in relief work. It will be their fault if they do not avail themselves of the medium that does reach the great mass of our cltizens. In every instance when such appeals have been made through The Bee the response has been gencrous and co- extensive with the boundaries of the city. True, the results of such appeals have never been trumpeted about by this paper and the names of donors and recipients have not been blazoned forth to advertise what The Bee has done toward the relief of des titution and want. It never has been our way of doing, and will not be resorted to on this occasion. In common with those Who desire systematic and effective charity work, we prefer to second the efforts of the regular organizations. Upon them and the county and city authorities the community must rely for continuing the good work to the end PRESIDENT AND PARTY. The breach between Mr. Cleveland and prominent democrats in congress is not likely to be cl 0 far as the New York it o predicted confldence that between them and the pres- ident there will be no reconciliation. The « of Mr. Cleveland In appointing an soclate Justice of the supreme court from d during his administration, E as senators are con- with absolute cerned, n bo urse Louislana to fill a vacancy which clearly belonged to New York, leaving that state without representation In that tribunal for the first time in elghty-eight years, will serve to intensify the hostility between the president and the semators of the Empire state. While Mr. Cleveland and his friends will endeavor to saddle the responsibility upon Hill and Murphy, they can plausibly reply that the president had not exhausted the avallable material in New York; that there are plenty of democratic lawyers In the state qualified for the position, and that but tion cedent and virtually for to Mr set Cleveland’s obstinate determina aside a long-established pre- turn the supreme judi- clal tribunal into an arena for carrying on a Nght himself and the New York nators, have lost its between that state would not representation on the supreme bench Mr. Cleveland, Hill and Murphy, will be the loser from such recrimination, The tic York Times said after the of Peckh “If the pre were now to abandon the just claim of New York to representation in the supreme court and avold tHe opposition of Hill by a nom ination from another state, he would indi not democr New rejection m ident ( acknowledge claim would be putting the question in the most unfortunate fashion. 1t would be a gross injustice, not to this but to the peoplo of the whole country plain it fs that Hill's pretensions shall be set at rest for ever.” The action of Mr. Cleveland will b regarded by the great majority of democrats s truce, he sread the e demoerats will not think less rectly That Into Hill's impudent New York politics only state, whosc right a cowardly having ht, and the of Hill for make tho pre self invited, and thy the f having shown the strength to Ident give up a contest he him- indirectly acknowlodg But the New | bhetween and the likely 2 are more than a dozen implac Cleveland they men that of Maryland, Danfel of Pugh of 1 them against influ- former's claim it is not York senators only whom president there is a breach that Is not to by Th other democratic ndly to Mr. strongest Gorman of Missouri Arka gonators who are ably unfr and include some of the on f the Cockrell of senate.

A great deal of attention is being attracted to articles attacking the president which have appeared in recent issues of Harper's Weekly, a journal which for ten years had been friendly to Mr. Cleveland. One of these cles consists of accusations tending to prove that Mr. Cleveland has been petulant | and insolent to those who were his true friends, has misman everything which he undertook, has been crafty and suspicious, has repelled those upon whom he should have relied in congress, has been revealed as nsorting, s far as he was con orted with anything or anybody, with the viler and Dbaser elements of his party, and has thrown away the grandest opportunity offered to any man in American political life for many a year. Taking all these circumstances and utter- ances together and they plainly show that Mr. Cleveland has lost the position he held year ago as a party leader, with the chances Targely against his being able ever to regain it Under the constitution of Nebraska and its cumbersome, out-of-date methods, the state must select a man for attorney general who knows more about the prices and qualities of groceries, drugs, nails, dry goods and notions than he does of law. The governor must have with the relative of and dried fruits an intimate acquaint merits of the diffe blankets and fluid extr must be an all-around and the commissioner of public lands and buildings is supposed have a more intimate knowledge of the grocery business than he does of the land laws of the United States. Uuder the same constitution all the important work of the respective offices must be done by deputies, while their principles are either purchasing amining tin roofs, or testing nce woolen nt grades ots The secretary of purchasing agent, to supplies, or e sewerage, or Inspecting improvements. The deputy commissioner of public lands and buildings may be entrusted with a case in- volving to the state the title of 50,000 acres of public lands, while his superior Is out superintending the resetting of a botler plant in the state insane asylum or examining the quality of the morter used in the construc- tion of a brick wall. The assistant attorney general may be working eighteen hours a day preparing briefs and arguments upon a case involving the constitutionality of the maximum rate law, while the attotney gen- eral himself is letting contracts for a new tin roof for some asylum or examining bids for butter and lard ofl, dried codfish and canned soup. Nebraska has every reason to be proud of her constitution. But at the same time it will be radically amended when the professional politicians who now defend it are overcome by the superior strength of the people. For sublime cheek commend o to Sam Macleod and his attorney. The idea that Macleod has a clalm against tie school fund to pay the fees of his lawyer is certaialy as novel as it is unique. Who asked Macleod to hire a lawyer to help the hoard (o carry on the investigation of the charges of in- competency and gross negligence? The board was competent to carry on tho Investigation without the intervention of outsiders, low- yers or laymen. It was really a fuvor ou (he part of the board to Macleod to allow any lawyer to represent him. Such a thing Is not common where the conduct of employes is under investigation. Suppose cvery school teacher and janitor who may | be charged with negligence in- competency should hire lawyers and trump up a claim for lawyers' fees, where would the thing end? In Mr. Macleod's case Mr. Churchill’s efforts were understood to be volunteered to maintain a principle, as Dr. Duryea puts it, and as a matter of prine ciple Mr. Churchill should not ask any pay, cither from the school board or Mr. Macleod. or Republican success has been endangered in South Dakota by the petty stealing of county officials, Naturally, in a new state a great many smooth-tongued adventurers force themselves into prominence. The republi- can party of that state must itselt disown and scourge the dishonest officials, No political party In any state can afford to countenance the dishonesty of its own men. This has proven itself true in Nebraska. The men who have controlled the republican par in this state for years have persist- ently defended tlm ringsters and apologized for their shortcomings.

A QUESTION OF VERACITY. OMAHA, Feb. 10.—To the Editor of The Bee: In The Sunday Bee I noticed, under the caption “Odd Bits of Texas Life,” an at tempted description of Texan peopls and their customs by one who signs himself A Edward Miles Mr. Miles says that “the people one nieets with in Texas are from the four cosnors of the globe,” which, to say the least. is not a startling revelation, every intelligont reader of your valuable paper .3 awaro that such is the case in almost every staie i this glorious union. He states that “affairs numerous in Texas as they cver were,” and claims to have been an eye-witnss to one of these shooting scrapes, which, as he states, took place in a_saloon, wheroln one “six- shooter and two Texans played a conspicuons part.” I venture to assert that Mr. Miles has never seen a “six-shooter” such as are carried and used by such people, unless per- haps when passing a show window of some of honor are as hardware merchant in Florence, Neb, (Not Italy.) In reference to Texas society, Mr. Miles states that he did not stop long enough in Texas to find it. While I am atw/are fhat Texas society, like all southern soclety, is very reflned ‘and exclusive, I do not wonder that he did not stay long enough in Te: to find it, and even if he did I am positive that he would not be admitted, much less re- ceiyed He tells you that in driving through the city of San Antonio (which would have been more appropriate had he said “walking”) you can distingulsh the houses of the ncrcl erner by the beautiful grourids that snrround them, which statement only proves Lils 1gnor- ance as to the owners of such property. Any small boy residing in that city will tell you that the majority of the beautiful and artistic residences in San Antonio, where the skill of the architect and landscape gardener fs everywhere discernable, belong to_ partles claiming southern birth. Mr. Miles would have you to beliove that the Texan takes only one bath during his or her lifetime, and that immediately after birth, which remark, I presume, is intended as humor, but in reality is only an apology for such. 'San Antonlo, like most of the Lone Star state cities, has its own water system, having one of the best, most complete and expensive waterworks systems in the coun- It also has, in the iine of cleansing ma- , two large natatoriums, numberless public bathing houses to accommodate the tourist, and every residence In the city and suburbs has dts own private bathing apart- ments, which Indispensable luxury Mr. Miles evidently falled to take advantage of while there, notwithstanding the fact that the water I as pure and as clear as crystal, the cost mominal, the temperature easily regu- lated and soap and towels free of cost. In conclusion I would state that such tales as “0dd Bits of Texas Life,"with sketches of people Mr. Miles only imagined he saw, will do very well to reserve for his uninformed assoclates and the much abused marine OTTO H.
