It is the defendant's misfortune in this case to be selzed as the stepping stone by which Judge Scott hopes to be able to reach out after other game. The testimony of ex- County Judge Eller was evidently introduced for no other purpose than to confirm Scott's unfounded idea that the editor of this paper had instructed his reporte as he prefers to put it. Without attempting to conceal his prejudice and bias in relation to another contempt case that is still pend- s to “cinch him,” Ing, he announces in advance that the de- fendant in this was “but the hired fnstru- ment of his master, Edward Ros water, and subject to his heliests, which had to be followed or he would lose his place as a reporter for The Bee.” After such a declaration it will be difficult, if not impos- to fair-minded sible, convince any person that the defendant in this case was not the of innocent vietim unjustifiable prejudice and bias, PREPARE FOR THE INDU Reports from Utah inform us that the army of 1,200 destitute men which for the past few days has been locked in between the governor of Utah on one side and the officials of the Southern Pacific railroad on the other has quietly eluded its pursuers and is once again making its way toward the east. Omaha lies directly in the path of these men. They to be deter- mined in their intention to push on until an join their friends who are engaged in the east. They 'RIALS. seem in a similar movement are sure to reach Om although they may never get to see Washington, Therefore, while they will no doubt endeavor to stop in Omaha, they will have no desire to re- main with us long. There is certainly little present prospect that these industrials will be held back by any of the intervening states. The efforts of the governor of Utah have been so barren of results that other governors will not be encouraged to follow his example. It is to the interest of each community to have the industrials pass on as quickly as pos- sible, and if this object can be best secured by assisting them to pursue their journey to their next point of destination no com- munity can be expected to attempt to hold them back. There is even some doubt whether there is any warrant of law to pre- vent them from marching peaceably through Nebraska so long as they refrain from in- vading the rights of private property. They have no legal right to seize railroad trains or to compel the railroads to transport them free of charge. Yet our experience with the destitute Colorado miners last summer teaches us what we may expect the railroads to do. The Union Pacific then denied the men acsess to thelr cars, but, belng power- less to hold them off, simply protested against the seizure and hauled the men to the eastern terminus of the line. Should the industrials adopt the same tactics they will doubtless receive the same treatment. This being the situation, our county and city officials should prepare to meet the emergency. Their efforts should be directed toward persuading the army to make its stay In Omaba peaceful and to hasten its departure. While the men remain here they can only be treated as unfortunate in- truders needing assistance. Timely action on the part of the authorities will render their passage through Omaha harmless. A FINE FOR FILIBUSTERING. The democratic members of the committee on rules of the house of representatives have proposed a nmew plan for dealing with members of that body who filibuster by refusing to vote when present and their names are called, or who absent themselves from the house without having been excused or without being necessarily prevented from being present. This Is to impose a fine of $10 for failure to vote or absence. The rules committee has for some time been consldering various suggestions of plans to prevent filibustering by non-voting and re- maining away from the house, and the one agreed upon was suggested some time ago by the clerk of the house. All the other plans in some degree recognized the prac- tice in the Fifty-first congress, and this a majority of the democrats were especially anxious to avold. They ~would consider nothing which to the slightest extent seemed to countenance the method adopted by Speaker Reed in a caucus called for the purpose, but with- The subject was discussed out practical result, the only conclusion being that something had to be done. The republicans have not failed to take full advantage of their opportunity to filibuster whenever it was deemed expedient to do so, and the absence ‘of a quorum has been almost as frequent as the presence of one since the beginning of the regular sessiol Speaker Crisp a short time ago charged on the” floor of the house that the course of the republicans was dictated by Mr. Reed with a view to forcing the democrats to adopt a rule that would vindicate the prac- tice of the ex-speaker. The proposed new rule requires every member to be present during the sittings of the house, unless excused or necessarily pre- vented, and to vote on each question put, unless he has a direct personal or pecuniary THE OMAHA | 4 sepreran ovrracr coxsemsateD. | nterest n the events of such question, the ! of other cition of appry penalty for violation being $10 fine.

What is left of the democratic party of Minnesota, for there, as in the other states of the north, acy is hardly more a remnant of what it was two years ago, has fssued an address to the party at large. It is a cry of alarm, a confession of weakness and an avowal of anticipated de- feat. These Minnesota democrats arraign the representatives of the party in congress the democ than for treachery, weakness and cowardice. They ascribe the present condition of the party to its fallure to redcem the pledge made to the people two years ago of tax re: form. The house tariff bill was a disappoint- ment to them, but as revised and changed in the senate it has filled them with woe and misery. The Wilson bill, it came from the hands of its authors, was acceptable to the democrats of Minnesota as an entering wedge, “to be driven home by later and harder blows.” The amended measure is a compact with protection, “hardly distinguish- able from the one It proposes to displace.” This, say the Minnesota democrats, is the result of browbeating on the part of certain it some protection for their industrie authors of the manifesto proceed to as mocratic senators whose constituents asked and the aign as traitors to the party, who should be kicked out of its ranks, Senators Hill and Murphy of New York, McPherson and Smith of New Jersey, Gorman and Gibson of Mary- land, Camden of West Virginia, Caftrey of Loulisiana, Morgan and Pugh of Alabama and Brice of Ohio. The names of these men, all known in thelr several states stalwart democrats, are relegated to the company of that of Benedict Arnold, and it is declared that they are “men who wear the mask of democrats that they may the better betray our cause.” If the free trade democrats of as Minnesota could have their way and drive out of the party these men whom they charge with treachery how much of strong and cap- able leadership would be left in that polit- ical organization? Whatever may be said of the methods of David Bennett Hill he is unquestionably the most powerful of the New York democratic leaders, whose opposition to any democrat would almost certainly de- feat him in that state. The same is true of Gorman In Maryland, who is besides one of the most sagacious political managers in the party. Both of these men will be greatly feeded by the party two years hence. As to the others their loss might not be a serious matter, though Morgan of Alabama |V is in intellectual endowments the peer of any democrat in the country, and the mil- lionaire Brice of Ohio can make up in con- tributions for what he lacks in political ability and influence. But none of these men are going to leave the democratic party at the behest of the Minnesota contingent. What they, or some of them, are seeking to do is to save the party, i it be possible, from the utter de- struction to which it is being led by such democrats as those of Minnesota, who follow the leadership of Voorhees and Mills. So far as any of these men charged with treachery to the cause of the democracy have secured amendments to the Wilson tarift which recognize in some de- gree the principles of protection to American industries and American labor they have been actuated quite as much, it is fair to assume, by considerations affecting the wel- fare of the party as by a desire the interests of their constituents. The democratic party is disintegrating rapidly enough without any faction of it under- tuking to drive out those who differ with it. Bverywhere north of the Mason and Dixon line the party has lost and is losing strength, and even in some of the states of the south the leaders are filled with appre- hension for the future. The authors of the Minnesota man'festo admonish democrats not to be discouraged nor disheartened. They are already In that condition, because they see inevitable and overwhelming defeat ahead, from which nothing that they may now do can save them. The appeal of the democrats of Minnesota is a cry of despair, the effect of which will be to intensify the apprehension and the discouragement of the party rather than to stimulate hope.

A correspondent of the New York Sun writes from Washington: Reports from the white house say Mr. Cleveland is becoming disillusioned; in other words, he begins to comprehend the people are not with him. It 1s entirely true he has said he made a mis take In running a second time. Comment on thiy observation Is that his great mistake was in thinking he was equal to the position, and in that belief gathered a cabinet that left him without the guldance and support which he needed from the first Accounts of the struggle by cabinet officers during Cleveland's first term to restrain him from follles he has committed in his second term are now coming out; how Mr. Manning had his hands more than full in holding eland in order; how Whitn: 1 Bay times labored to keep him from com mitting follies similar to the policy of in famy; how they and Manning expostulated regarding a varioty of matters with which Cleveland undertook to deal alone. How, together, the cabinet officfals made things gs that for. the respectable, a ince Cleveland’s last feited the respect of the people and country against him The country has never heard how much of the success of Cleveland's first adminis tration was due to Danfel Manning, nor how actually he wore himself out that Cleveland might not fail, as he said he surely would it somebody’ strong hand did not direct his cours Manning had a great deal to do in bringing Cleveland before the country, and especially in bringing the first ad ministration Into existence. e folt he really in a good degree responsible for the good con uct of Cleveland and Cecency in a thousand things. Manning knew Cleveland throngh and through durfng his governorship at Albany. He understood his foibles and how liable he was to do strange tmngs if he was not controlled. He early became alarmed for results if some powerful influ ence did not block the absurdities of his chief, and he determined, if he could prevent it, that Cleveland should not fail for lack of 1 prevented many ti inauguration have set it. Many and many a time things were done and not done that gained for Cleveland fam for being a man of strong sense, level-headoed judgment, and unusual wisdom as an all- round man. “In no respect is Cleveland’s second ad- ministration comparable to his first,” said a rat, then, as now, on the ground as an observer. ‘““And it is so by his own act,” he continued. “He scems to have learned nothing. Even more imperious than before, he lacks the restraints that existed then. Like an ignorant mariner he has gone ahead regardless of compags or soundings, and thus in the shortest time he has made wreck of everything.” demd Such arc the comments of political friends; that is, by democrats who have ceased to regard Mr. Cleveland with any degree of confidence or favor, and yet who, if they could, would save the party from the conse- quences of Clevelandism. It follows, of course, the white not much frequented by demoerats. house is Few are drawn there to render what support they can to the president, as has been common since the government began. Few,if any,demo- crats, or citizens of any party, are now leav- ing Washington gratified for having made a visit to the white house and had proof of the president’s friendship. Such visits are rare “indeed. Members of the legislative branch of the government do not, as for- merly, go to the cxecutive to confer for the good of the administration. They go some- times at his request, but they seldom re- turn unless again requested. There Is little or mone of the Kkind of intercourse incident to mutual confidence and regard-— a common Interest in affairs surrounding the administration. It is a personal adminis- tration, with little power or Influence beyond the offices, and there Is so little of this sort of thing that the patronage has from the start proved a greater detriment than ever to its possessor.
