Such quarrels are the only in- fallible tests of true musical talent. It the senate expects to pass a tarift bill by May 15, or even by June 1, it will have to do more work and less deliberation than it has been accustomed to perform in so short a time for a considerable time past. That Joy-O'Neill contested election in the house of representatives refuses to remain in oblivion, the final on in the matter has been had for several ks. It case Ithough de- we insists upon being a joy forever. If our school grounds are to reccive any at- tention this year steps to provide for their embellishment must be taken without much further delay. Let us know just where the school board and park board stand in this matter. The weekly crop report of the Nebraska weather service gives evidence of encourag- ing prospects for the farmers in all parts of the state. A good season followed by a good harvest will be a most powerful in reviving good times. The Brazilian insurgents threaten to re- new their wordy war, probably in order to help out the telegraph and cable companies, which alone profit by the continued hostil- ities. Tt is time to call the dogs of war oft and give the public a rest. San Francisco banks have so much idle money In their vaults that they cannot find borrowers enough with sufficiently safe se- curity. The Midwinter fair cannot have glven the impetus to other enterprises that was reasonably expected of it. Senator Mills s a triflc behind the times on his protection theory of taxation. No economist of any note still upholds the fdea that texation should be apportioned accord- ing to the protection which the taxpayer en- joys at the hands of the government. The ghost of the Helfenstein case bobs up once more. There is nothing like a chance of securing a reversal of a decision upon some sort of technlcality to urge lawyers on to catch at a contingent fee by prosecuting the most baseless claims to the last tribunal open to them. It must be gratifying to the public as well as to those immediately concerned to know ihat the difficulties of the striking tailors have been satisfactorily adjusted. Omaha has been singularly free from labor troubles thus far this year and this carly ending of the tailors ke restores industrial peace to every branch of business. Senator Mills thinks the federal Income tax is just the proper caper. Why didn't Mr. Mills incorporate an income tax into his celebrated Mills biil, which only some four years ago ho landed perfection itself? We can't understand how Mr. Mills over- looked such thing when framing his own revenue measure, —_— It the garbage haulers are violating the clty ordinances by overcharging patrons who are Ignorant of the legal prices they should have theix licenses revoked and be arraigned for defrauding their customers, The garbage collection business in this city is In a shaotic state.

What evidence was there producsd to justify or even to palliate a con- vietion? J. B. Haynes, managing cditor of The Bee, called by the state, testified on the point at issue as follows: Q.—1 will call your attention, Mr. Haynes, to the article published in The Evening Bee of March 9 and headed ‘“‘Justice Without Equality;” do you know as a matter of fact whether or not Mr. Rosewater ever saw that article before it was published? ~1 know that he did not.

Q.—I will ask you to state who wrote that articlo? A.—With the exception of the slug head, T wrote it.

The defendant’s testimony was also taken, and he further denied having any knowl- edge or information concerning the article complained of until after his attention had been called to it by the letter of the county attol In the face of this positive testimony, un- challenged and unimpeachable, Judge Scott rendered a verdict of guilty and passed sen- of both imprisonment and fine.

While declin- ing, inappropriate to the occaston, to enter into a full discussion of republican principles, though promising to do so during the campaign, he made some pertinent and timely observations as to the effects of pro- democratic policy. Referring to the unrest, distrust and apprehension, General Ha said he believed that “all the tumult of this wild sea would be stilled as by the voice of Omnipotence if the great industrial and commercial classes of the country could know today that there would be no attempt to strike down protection in American legislation.” The refersnce made by General Harrison to silver will probably attract considerable attention as showing his faith in an international agreement in the not remote future—a faith which the signs seem to fully warrant. TRADUCING THE INDUSTRIAL ARMIES. As might have been expected many of the aristocratic newspapers of the east persist in misrepresenting the characters of the men comprising the Kelly and Coxey armies and the purposes for which they have been organ- ized and put into motion. It is doubtless due as much to this willful and continued misrepresentation that the armies are meet- ing with such outbursts of genuine sympathy and philanthrophy from the people of the communities through which they are passing. The approach of the army is a revelation to those who have been told that it is “a mere collection of tramps and ecriminals who de- liberately refuse work every day of their lives and enjoy marching through the coun- try in mobs and living on the farmers and ers.” People who are looking for “a s of strolling beggars with the tastes and manners of savages” are wonderfully disap- pointed when they see an orderly crowd of poorly clad but earnest and intelligent look- ing men. Requests for assistance are hon- ored where threats would be Indignantly re- pelled. The purposes of these armies have been likewise systematleally perverted. Speaking of the Kelly host, for example, the Chicago Tribune insists that it does not want to work and would not work if it could. “It has,” 1t continues, “been led to believe that when 1t gets to Chicago it will be received by thousands of sympathizers, that it can levy upon the community for food and comfortable sleeping quarters, and live here in clover. That is the only sentiment which urges it forward, If it were possible for the police authorities of Chicago to seize every man of Kelly's army as soon as it came within the city limits and set him to work !t would make a wide detour around Chicago and con- tinue its march to Washington rather than risk the danger of being put to work. Labor is the last thing these armies of tramps and vagrants want. Real workingmen out - of employ nent do not go tramping through the country, subsisting upon charity or selzing their subsistence by violence or theft, It would be the hardest blow these armies have ever recelved if the government should take them at the furnish them with worlk." In the same strain the New York Evening Post says: “What the army wants Is bacon, hominy, ple and the like, without rthem.” It furthermore intimates that the members of the army are accus- tomed to lodge in almshouses during the winter and to roam through the country in To the climax of its ef- the Post reprints, under the cap. tlon “Some (ood American Talk,” the gen- crally condemned interview with Judge Hub- bard, the Northwestern railroad attorney, in which he asserts that his road would haul the army neither for love nor money and threatens to diteh any train upon which the army might attempt to ride over its track Why this should appear to any be ‘good talk” must pass the com prehension of the ordinary man.

Councilmap Hascall's effort to get the Sixteenth street viaduct closel and compel the running of cars to South Omaha by way of Thirteenth street is all horse play. It is aothing mor: nor less than an effort to play a confidence game on men whose votes he needs in order to be re-elected next fall. Hascall is as much an attachment of the street railway company as are its motors and trolleys. He would not dare to seriouslys antagonize the street railway managers any more than he does the manag:rs of the rail- by rights and by re re- quired to rebuild the Sixteenth strect vialuct. It is proper and eminently just that the street railway company shall be required to pay a reasonable portion of the cost of keep- ing In repair the viaducts over which they have the right of way. The question Is, why does mot the council enforce the law relating to viaducts and compel the railroad companies to comply with the ordinances for the construction 6f new viaducts at Fifteenth and Sixteenth strects, These viaducts are imperatively demanded for public travel and for the safety of people who are compelled to cross the railroad tracks on the south side. The protection against accidents lablé to occur every hour at grade crossings Is M the interest of the railroads and their managers shou'd no longer be permitted to evade the requirements of the law. In other cities the railroads cheer- fully build viaducts wherever they can be erected across their. tracks on public thoroughfares. | In the larger eastern cities and in western cities‘the rallroads are spend- ing millions in raising their railroad tracks or building tunnels to avoid grade crossings, and the risks and delays of traffic incident thereto, Why cannmot the railroads that have been given mililons of dollars worth of streets for right-of-way have the decency to build at least one of the two viaducts for which plans have been adopted and ordi- nances passed more than a year ago? The plea that they have not the money to build with is the merest subterfuge. Suppose one or two of their trains were wrecked by callision, or suppose there was a washout that destroyed miles of their tracks and bridges, wouldn’t they raise the money some way to replace the destroyed rolling stock and rebuild the bridges and roadway? How does the Union Pacific, In spite of its bank- ruptcy, manage to pay the interest on its first mortgago bonds? How does the Buriing- ton manage to get enough money to build extensions into Montana that cost three or four millions? The fact is Omaha will never get fair treatment at the hands of the railroads so long as she does not fight for it and so long as she allows herself to be imposed upon. When it comes to a show-down and the city attempts to grapple with the railroads in dead carnest it s safe to predict that Hascall will manage to turn a sharp corner and give the city the double cross. He never was known to walk over a straight road If there was a crooked path anywhere In sight. His gyrations about the street railroads vacating the Sixteenth street viaduct are of a piece with all his other acrobatic and sleight-of- hand performances. roads, who law A prominent attorney won a new silk hat upon a bet made before any evidence had been taken in the mock trial of the editor of The Bee that the verdict would be guilty and the sentence would be thirty days in jail and $500 fine. This lawyer Is not a gypsy, son of the seventh daughter, the son of a prophet nor a soothsayer. The only patural inference is that the court had organized itself to convict beforc any testi- mony was taken and had willtully, ma- liclously and deliberately decreed to rob a of his liberty because the paper of he s cditomwhas dared to criticlse And this is what he calls justice. man which him.

When the weather changes, perhaps then you will change your suit and if you happen to be short on change you will find our ten dollar suits never change color and after you have worn one awhile you will change your notion about tailor-shops being the only place on earth where tailor-made suits are sold.
