Czar Holdrege will be well pleased when he learns how faithfully his ukase has been carried out by his satraps and henchmen. Fortunately or unfortunately, these are no longer the days when a republican nomination in Nebraska is the equivalent of an election. There was enough hickory shirting wasted on one convention to keep the Majors family supplied with shirts and dre for the rest of thelr natural lives. The democratic party can't be brought out of the convalescent stage in so short a time as it took the president to regain his health at Buzzard's Bay. It might be advisable to have the boundar- fos of the state enlarged in order to provide *he proper reception for Congressman Bryan ~n his return to Nebraska. It is in accord with the eternal fitness of things for the rallroad convention to desig- nate as its choice for national committeeman the general attorney of the Union Pacific railway. It our wooden pavements are to be used for fuel let us s2e to it that the material reaches only those who really need it to keep them warm this winter. The pavement thieves must go. When Tattooed Tom was foisted on the ticket by the railroad and boodle gang it ¥as to have been expected that his running mate, Spy Russell, would also be given a place on the ticke Omaha people should not complain be- causo the visiting delegates received the bulk of the tickets to the republican state convention. The visitors have a right to expect to be liberally provided for. The merclants of Omaha should respond liberally to the invitation to participate in the Labor day parade. Omala business houses comprise a variety of interests that when represented In an industrial procession reflect great credit upon the city. The merchants sheuld do their share. The remnants of the South Omaha strike aro the poverty and distress smong some ) the employes whose familles were do- arived of support when the men were thrown out of employment. It is incumbent upon the authorities to see that no actual suffer- ing results and to assist the unemployed to secure work once more at the earliest possible moment. A little timely precaution will do an Immenso amount of good. The Board of Health may be in a measure to blame for the muddled condition of the garbage question. Some of the responsi- bility, however, must be placed upon the court which has seen fit to Intervene at every step and to so tie the hands of the board that It can do practically nothing. 1t the court desires to provide for the health of the community let it assume the duty openly and bear the whole burden. The health board can-accomplish little with its hands bound by the court, The strike investigation at Chicago Is de- veloping one fact that was claimed by the employes all alcng, namely, that most of the wreckage and luwlessness was created by men who had nothing to do with the strikers. The evider on this point is strong and cum- ulative. It is to the effect that the mobs which derailed trains and burned cars were composed almost exclusively of outsiders and irresponsibies, who seized the opportunity either out of pure deviltry or beciuse they were set up to it by others who had designs to further. There ought to be enough evi- dence on this point to take before a grand Jury and to secure the conviction of the par- ties who were guilty of the offenses. If, as Ia allcged by a certein member of the Board of Rducation, the High scheol can get along snicely this year with more puplls and with three less teachers than last ‘year, what Kind of extravagance was Indulged In In the teaching force last year? Does the board not conviet itselt of employ ing threo more persons for some time past than has been necessary? As a matter of fact, however, this pretext is ouly brought forward to cover up the real reason behind the Qismissal of the teachers in question without preferring a single charge against them. 1If at any time there are too many teachers employed In the High school the work of dismissing them should begin with those whose records show them (o be the least efficienc o SAVE THE RECCBLICAN PARTY In reckless Asfiancs of the unwritten that law excle from positions of high 1 and trust men who bay officia proven r oaths committing act the republica s J they are imp:achable nve Ma) the standard bearer of the party in the im pending eampalgn.

The announcement that Judge Walton will soon resign his position on the bench will be received ncere regret by the people of this district. It will be deplored that by reason of failing health the judse feels him- selt unequal to the task before him. It is ntiment of bar and people that no man has in recent years heen elevated to a place on the bench of the district who met the arduous demands of the place and gave better general satisfaction than has Judge Walton during his brief term of sery- ice. Unlike other judges who have resigned places on the bench for higher pecuniary reward in the practice Judge Walton's resig- natlon will not subject him to criticism. It is no less a misfortune, however, that for any cause judges of this district find it undesirable to complete their terms. There is no more honorable position within the gift of the people of the state and mone calling for a higher degree of ability and fidelity to a sacred trust. Having been chosen for a place of such responsibility and distinction no man who has strength and personal fitness for the work of the bench should permit him- self to be enticed away from it. Oft-recur- ring changes In the personnel of the bench are hurtful to the public service. Tt has been the constant alm and purpose of the people to provide ample eourt machinery to expedite the ever-increasing work of the dis- trict, comprising four of the richest and most populous counties of the state. Seven Judges ought to be able to keep the work up by the adoption of stringent rules, enforcing punctuality upon both practitioners and litigants. . Whether Judge Walton's successor shall be appointed by the governor or elected by the people, the selection should by all means fall upon an active and competent man, pledged to push the work of the court and to preserve and uphold the dignity of the office. with s OKLAHOMA A DI o Reports from Oklahoma that give every evidence of reliability are to the effect that to the great majority of the people who last year flocked with foverish excitement to tha Cherokee strip that land of promise been a grievous disappointment. The scenes 1 along the Kansas border last sum- mer scarcely yet out of mind. For months the proposed opening of the new government lands was looked forward to by a host of ambitious speculators and reckless adventurers as the opportunity of a lifetime to become rich over night. In their eager- ness to be first on the ground they camped for wesks on the outskirts of the reserva- tion, impatiently awaiting the signal when race for the prizes should begin, The “sooners' indulged, some of them, not only in fraud and deception, but also In violence and even murder to beat their rivals for a desirable claim. When the strip was pro- claimed open to settlement the mad rush was on In all its fury, tented cities sprang up in a day and rapldly gave way to more sub- stantial structures. People camped in line before land ofiices for long days In order to have their claims rogistered. Competing towns were lald out almost within a stone's throw of one another and exerted every fn- fluence within their power the one to out- strip the other. Oklahoma, with its pioneer farmers and new broken soll, is sald to have suffered more than any other part of the west from the terrible drouth of the past month.

Unfortunately, he lacks stamina and his relations to the Bur- lington reoad him absolutely subservi- ent to corporate interests that clash stantly with the interests of the state. The nominee for s ary of state, J. A Piper of Harlan, is a B. & M. railroad stool-pigeon, without the remotest claim or aualification for the high position into which the rallroad managers seek to foist him. Hon. 1ugene Moore, who has been renomi- nated by acelamation to the position of au- ditor, has made a very commendable record during the last two years and was by usage and merit entitled to the endorsement which he received at the hands of the convention. We cannot say as much for J. S. Bartley, the state treasurer, whose renomi- nation was also a foregone conclusion. Mr. Bartley's nomination two years ago regarded by prominent men who knew him as a grave blunder, and his mal- administration of the finances of the state fully confirm that view. Prof. H. R. Corbett, nominee for super- intendent of public instruction, is an excellent choice. Mr. Corbett ranks high among edu- cators as a man thoroughly cquipped for the position, and the people of York county, where he resides, speak highly of him as a man of unblemished character. The candidate for attorney gencral, Mr. A. S. Churchill, has practiced at bar of Douglas county for years and was prominently mentioned for the city attorney- ship of Omaha when Mayor Bemis entered upon his second term. He has been a very ctive republican every since he located in this state and as chairman of the county committee two years ago rendered the party good service. ““Colonel” H. C. Russell of Colfax, who has been nomiated for land commissioner, is a tattooed man whose career as a lawmaker has made it impossible for him to get any office within the gift of his county. He has been the boon companion of Majors ever since they camped together in the unsavory legislature of 1887. Mr. Russell Is just the man the jobbers and railroad managers want on the Board of Public Lands and Buildings and State Board of T ransportation. good record, constituted as a sional seeker. above make con- present business the several NO WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN NEW YORK. No one, not even the most ardent of the adyocates of woman suffrage, has been in the least surprised at the decisive defeat of woman suffrage in the New York constitu- tional convention a week ago. In fact, in mustering fifty-eight votes against ninety- seven In favor of submitting the question whether it is advisable to strike the word male out of the suffrage clause of the con- stitution the woman suffraglsts developed a trifle more strength than they were gen- erally given credit of possessing, although, it Mmust be admitted, some of these fifty-eight delegates doubtless voted with them because have refused o they knew they were in the minority and that there was no danger of inflicting woman suifrage upon the people of the Empire state. During the agitation in New York it was the custom of many of the newspapers, as well as a considerable number of public me to seek to avold the issue by asserting that the question s one for the women to settle among themselves. The chief weakness of their cause lay, according to these authori- tles. in the fact that the women were not united. The petitions in favor of woman suf- frage contained few more names of women than the protests against It. Some women seemed most eager for it, and for a while it attained the status of a fad in fashionable soclety. Others were as earnestly opposed to it, while the great mass appeared to be really indifferent. These facts furnished the basis for the argument that the time was not yet come when woman suffrage could be safely introduced. They also prompt the claim of those who, like the New York Sun, are still insisting that women will yote when- ever they themselves agree in wanting to vote. Ou the other hand, the refusal of the con- vention to submit the question to the voters of the state shows that Its members do not care to shirk their plain duty to decide upon the question, and to decide not whether the women want woman suffrage, but whether woman suffrage is good for the women and also conducive of better government. Now that the glamor and nolse raised by the agi- tators Is in a degree subsiding the people of New York are beginning to better appre- clate this aspect of the question, The } York Tribune, for example, puts it very plain and unmistakable when It says that “the practical question, therefore, has been, and will continue to be In every similar con- troversy, whether or not the welfare of so- clety would be promoted by woman suffrage.” It further expresses its belief that the ma- Jority of the delegates to the constitutional convention have been as sollcitous ae the minority to decide the question unseldsh] and that so far as sentiment has influenced thelr judgment it has been a sentiment of sex In whose supposed ' would vote mechanieally and perfunciorily I not with diegust and fmpatience, with relictance’ with which men perform for tasks roverence fof (i honor and Interest the appeal which they | made The more ustion of woman people - e g City Journal will not be on passige of the Gorman | congress s about to adjour from troubling Kaleluscople Congrossman Minneapolfs Journal them. ressman Hryan of Nebraska has over to the populists, bag and basga he 8 trying (o capture the deme 1t 18 reported from Terre Haute, In Udte . convention. next month. ang st W 2 fndorsement for the United e bleyole riderk of that city VR 18 CAYORCTNE Ao et an organization for the purpote of resiating | bl in ‘u “chiia’ fhop, "Nnd {x Wiaking trugilo o © to Joln Perter in the further municipal legislation laying restric- | Son " RON 15 ROt TalAhed.
