As Miller understood it, gald that this whole matter was to be to the Union Pacific company to prescribe terms and admit other roads, He thought that such a plan would keep other roads out of the city Mr. Hascall talked loud and long, saying that the Milwaukee road had no interests in Omaha which the council could prot It the Union Pacific and Burlington wanted o go and build the depot, they should mllowed to do g0 without interference. The wladuot on Tenth street was built with the express understanding that the the d pot should be constructed on the Mason street crossing and there was no sense in (rylng 10 change the location at this late date. Several other members wanted to talk but as Hascall had worn out a large portion of the night, the regular order of business was taken up and the proposed oratory was lost to the world. TO AMEND THE CHARTER. In order to get the work of preparing pro posed amendments to the city charter Btarted, Mayor Bemis wrote the following communication to the countil: 1t has been apparent during the past ve that, notwithstanding the lubors of *the charter revision committee two yéars ago, there are many se our city charter.

As soon as the communic:tion was read Mr. Haseall was upon his feet clamoring that the members of the last legislature were the gentlemen who knew what was wanted. Some of the men weré good enough, but many of them had axes to grind. To @ump in five men with the fifteen would bring in discord and could result in no gosd for the city. There was no reason why the mayor should lmit the number of men which the council should &ppoint Mr. Specht wanted to see G. M. cock on the committee. Mr. Wheeler sald he knew stme of the men whom the mayor had named, and knew that they were drones in the hives. They were on the committee two years ago, and after meeting two or three times they re- fused to act. For ome he was opposed to fifteen citizens coming in and bulldozing five men whom the ccuncil might name. On motion of Mr. Edwards the president appointed Messrs. Burkley, Edwards snd Wheeler as a special committee to which the mayor's communication was referred. . SIXTEENTH STREET VIADUCT Mayor Memis returned, without his approval, the resolution ordering cinders laid over the old block pavement on Eighteenth street between St. Mary's avenue and Harney street. He urged that the cinders would be worthless and would be only a makeshili. Repaving, he said, was what was needed. The veto was rejected by a vote of 13 to 3, and then followed the reading of the follo ing veto message with reference to the re- planking of the Sixteenth street viaduct 1 return herewith, without my approval, a resolution directing_the Hoard of Public Works to have the Sixteenth street viaduct replanked, as may be recommended by the city engineer. The resolution does not state the amount to be expended for this work, nor 18 any limit placed upon the expendi- ture. I deem it unwise (0 approve i resos Jution which is so broad in its terms, More- over, I do not think the city should assume he éxpense of this work. The present con- ition of the viaduct is due largely to_the street railway company, the welght of its ears doing more to weaken the structure than any other cau nd it would seem no more than just that' that company should bear the greater part of the expense of re- ra. A single train of two cars, when oaded, weighs about twelve tons,” When Awo trains meet on the viaudet there is a weight tons on g a few feet. mping of t trains has cansed the viaduct to he i resent condition. This company i¥ requ o pave between its ralls on paved streets and should be required to do the same on the viaducts. The roadway of the Sixteenth street viaduct Is twentw feet at it widest art and Is seventeen feet in width through he trusses. Of this pace the tracks of the street railway com- any occupy ten nd one-third lect, or more than half. At the time the agréement was made with the railrond and street it not known that ary over the entire stroc however, that the expense of repairin trestle work will amount to about 33 leaving $1 of the $6.000 covercd by ihe agreement fo the repairs. The expense of laying a floor of a single layer of two-inch plank over the roadway of the viiduct the contract with Mr. Mayo, will be §1.510, Such a, floor would make the viaduct passable for teams, and the clty is under no obligation t0 mike it passable for street cars. Th old contract between the city and the street Jailway company, whereby (he latter was required the payment he the only effect city responsible of the struclure. I yecom- mend that the Board of Pubiic’ Works be fnstructed to have the viaduct replanked with a single Jayer of two-inch ouk plank and thrown open to travel, and if the street rallway company wunts to use it. arrange- ments can be made on proper terms which will protect the city. In this connection the strect railway company should be comp 1o use T rails across the viaduct, the % It uses on the streefs. Flat rails have en used heretofore, and they are not felent to stand the stenin put upon These rails are prohibited in eastern ol and they should be prohibited here. Mr. Hascall declared that it was the duty of the council to override the veto, as th property owners along South Sixteenth streel were clamoring to have the viaduet again opened to traflic. Mr. Wheeler thought the viaduct should be reopened, but in his opinion it was a dangerous practice to pass resolutions for the expenditure of money unless the amount was stated in the resoluti Mr, Haseall was sure that there would be no steal in doing the work, as everything conntcted with the repalring was under the direction of the Board of Public Works and the city engi City Attorney Counell informed the councll that nove of the expense of replanking could be charged to the street rallway compan Upon the roll being called, the veto was re Jeeted, ‘The mayor wrote about the subject of the members of the Board of Public Works going gust to attend & comvention. He suggested these gentelmen to Hiteh- It devel undl of which w for the safety that the council was short-sighted in not appropriating funds with which to pay thelr expenses. He added that in his opinfon it would be advisable to appropriate $150 for the purpose. The money was appropriated. Willlam J. Knox was named as a mem ber of the publie library board for the term of three years, from July 1, 1894, to succeed Elijah Dunn. The appointment was con- firmed. FLOOD WANTS TEN THOUSAND. Andrew Flood presented a claim for $10,000. Flood claims that he owns some lots ne Sixth and Pine streets, which have been ndered worthless by a change of grade of streets The reglstrars th 298, who will serve during the coming election, were appointed and confirmed. They are requested to appear before the city clerk on or before next Mon- day night, when they will state whether or not they are willing to serve the city Mr. Hascall offered a resolution taking $250 out of the curbing and guttering fund and applying It on the §14.250 street repairing bill of the Barber Asphait company. The resclution also provides that the balance should be paid when funds were avatlab The resolution was adopted and the cash item went into the appropriation ordinance By resolution, all of the city offices were ordered closed tomorrow order to allow the employes an to attend the state fair.

Machine The Municipal league held an open meet- ing last n in the Biard of Trade rooms. Owing fact that a political meeting was also last evening the sttendance was o small, but as large as clency In numbers, how- fully made up by the character present, almcst all being property wners, and amongl them were Included some of the most prominent business professional men of the city. The meeting presided over by Judge Doane, of the league, and addressed Rosewater and Dr. Duryea. | Judge Doane opened the meeting by giv- | ing a sketch of the objects and methods of the league. He stated that the first main object was to ¢ competent city oft and to watch them when they got In. Many of the men wh were now in office were unfit for their po- sithon The other objects were more gen- eral and incidental and of a charitable na- ture The manner the held expected ever, was thos and was president by Mr. and ot ien to secondly of the reform: Judge Doane, ‘“must be copied after the methods of politiclans. Offices are . now sought and obtained by complete and working organizations. The league must do the sam We must organize in every ware and infuse spirit into every element. We have at present a central council, which is at the head. is is divided into variou committees, to which different branches of the work are assigned. Auxiliary to the ntral council are the ward councils. These are intended to direct the ward leagues, and have delegates to the central council. The members of the ward leagues pledge them- Ives to attend the primaries of their party. We are not trying to form a new party, in fact are not In politics. But we do propose to use the same kind of warfare to a certain extent as is used now orefore we do . not ask members to divorce themselves fror parties, but to attend primaries to see t good men are put in office. FOR THE CLEAN MAN “If good men ar: nominated by ¢ members can vote as they please. But If party nominates a ciean man and the others indiffcrent men, then we must vole for the clean man, [f no party select a man for whom we can consclentiously vote, then it is our duty to put forward an independent candidate. Party men now do not try to select good men, but leave the choice (o the ward machine. ~In each party the men who control the machine are nominated, and noth- ing but Hobson's choice is left us. The rule is that the best men are never selected “We do not try to control men's convic- tion, except in municipal affairs. Outside of that a man can follow his party's candi- date. But we ought to have the good of the city enough at heart to control the elec- tion of such men as we ought to hav There are great abuses in the city now. They have been ventilated and denounced but no good has resulted. When the offi- cials have some selfish scH-interest, if it is to their advanta suport these interests, they will do so, and let the city go. To re form this it is necessary that all the good men should band together, and not only a few in each ward. It Is a question of good citizenship whether or mot we are willing to forget party for public.good. 1f we are we can control the election in November. If we are not we must have the same gov- ernment which we now have, and hope for no reform.” REFORMS NEEDED. After the conclusion of his remarks, Judge Doane called upon Mr. E. Rosewater, who had been invited to address the meeting. Mr. Rosewater spoke in substance as fol- lows “I have been trying for years to get the people of the city to disrcgard party tie in selecting city officials, My success h been doubtful, to say the least. The glar- ing scandals in the city hall from the time it was begun are evidence of this. Yet we are inclined to think that rottenness exists here and, looking outside, think we see reforms successful. I had heard much of the system of government of Cleveland and on a recent visit there I went to the city hall to investigate. 1 found the same old machine, but under a different name. There were ‘directors’ of every department, but they were appointed by a machine mayor and confirmed or rejected by a machine council. Every two years they went out, no matter how competent they were. “You cannot make any great attempt at reform this fall. Only ward councilmen, five members of the Board of Education and assessors from each ward are to be selected. Tliese last are the most important, because it is hard to undo the work of a fraudulent assessor. The oply redress is to complain and possibly equalize the burden, but one would rather submit than go against his neighbor. What we need s a more uniform rate of assessment. “In my opinion the plan of the league is good. The fivst thing is to go to the csu- cuses. Machine politics control the caucus, the latter controls the primaries, and hence these are a farce. Most voters accept the caucus ticket. They are too cowardly to fight it, although it had been dictated by forty persons or less for 2,000. The same thing is enacted in the city conventicn. The result is that out of the three tickets it is impossible to pick out nine men to whom one weuld care to entrust even $5. 1f one votes as his conscience bids him he can perhaps cast his ballot for four of five men and leave the other, perhaps forty, candi- dates blank. The Australian ballot proves that th's §s so. It is not that the people can't read, but they cannot conscientiously vote for the candidate without shame. The difficulty with reform clubs is that with theory and not practice. things in a way that does not sults. The bolter is the conscientious citi- zen. He who always voles his party's ticket s either a numskull or a rogue. “There |s not a vast amount bo done this fall, but it ought well. Politiclans “scheming to tions are already ahead cf you. WAR ON THE MACHINE. “This fall you may be forced to the ex- treme alternative of putting men in the fleld who have not been heard of at the caucuses or primaties. You must arouse the people to vote for good, first-class business men of the league instead of dead beats who have put themselves on the ticket and who can only show a sand block as property. You can make a start. If you break up the part: machine in municipal politics you will ha a different government. It will not be per- fect, because it will be the work of human hands. But the people ought to stop voting for men who give thousands of dollars to corporations or jobbers and alongside of whom a pickpocket is a gentleman. “You will have to hunt for candidates There are plenty of people hunting for office, but wot of the right kind. Go to a good business man and ask him to run for office and he will say that he hasn’t time or does not care to rub up against such people as are often in the council. This is why we have bad government. But you must try to arouse the property owners to a state of des- peration, pound it into the people that Omaha must be relieved of boodlerism and boodle- ism." Upon the conclusion of his speech Mr. Rosewater was liberally applauded. He was also frequently intérrupted in the course f his remarks by applause. Secretary Powell ot the league suggested that before calling upon Dr. Duryea the meeting listen to reports from the wards 1 which leagues have already been forme The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Ninth wards were represented by officers of the ward councils, who stated in each case that the eliminary work had been done. During the coming wuek all these wards will be divided into precinets and men appointed over each precinet. It s hoped to have men appointed even for every block. In speaking of the Ninth ward, W, A. i L. Gibbon sald that many partisans hesi- continued ch party, of work to to be done get nomina- tated to join the leagwe on account of party allegiancs and it was necessary to explain that the league makew a democrat a better democrat and a repubMean a better republi- can. The city aftersall Is nothing but a glgantic corporation, -he continued. Big corporations do not inquire whether a man is 4 democrat or asrepublican, but whether or not he s honest and competent, No question of currency or tariff arises. Muni- cipal and national’ pelitics should be ab- solutely divoreed Secretary Powell - sald to seo a league in every week that ward he expected within two THE Duryea BED ROCK then spoke OF IT Dr. substantially follows The object of the league Is great and im- por and ought to claim great attention. Government touches us in our own perso in our property and in our higher interests of the mind and character. The founders of the government hoped for its futurity in the perpetuity of local self-government. This local selt-government had its inception in the town meeting, in which eon came to understand the principles which underlie government and are immediately engaged in its processes. Men who analyze our govern- ment will get to bed rock when they reach the town meeting. The nearest and deares interests of yourselves, your families and your friends must depend on good govern ment at home. On it must depend good state government. You can have no good, right- eous, economical state government unless you have good, righteous, economical city government. “If town politics cannot be purified those of the state cannot; if these ot, the cor- ruption will exiend to those of the nation. Then, if it is true that local self-government 1s corrupt In all the cities of the United ates, the nation is doomed. I am surprised to see with what non- chalance the mzchine men do as they wish. They have organization, and they think they are impregnable, L no counter force can be rallied against them. If it were, they would flee. 'he reform must be accomplished by the but sure methed. We must enlighten then enlist the people. We must or- ganize, and for all time, Custom has pro- duced ' certain effects. The effects are be- coming sore. We read an exposure in the morning and forget about it by night. If we remember It we smile and think it rather smart. It ought to arouse such sentiment as would blast and burn those guilty. We are opening our towns to the presence of adventurers who will come some day and take the spoils. A man will say that he is too busy to pay attention to city politics. He must recuperate during his spare time to carry on his business. If this fs so, we ought to find some other sys- tem of government, for things will go from bad to worse. We must not work by spurts, but keep it up year in 4nd year out. We must begin by thorough, complete organiza- ticn and personal work. Then the victory will ba sure.” Frequent applause was given e of Dr. Duryea's speech. Judge Doane announced that ing of the club would take tember 25 at the same place.

Why the bar closed to the trade Is not known, as the head pusher in the enterprise refuses to give cut the informa- tion to the mercantile agencies or the press All of the facts concerning the manner in_which Scott happened to get into the salo'n business were recited at length in The Sunday Hee, as well as were the facts concerning the reason why Horace O. Ban- croft relinquished possession. That was th first chapter, but not the last, as another was added Monday afternoon, when Judge Bowman appeared before Scott in the interest of Bancroft. The sessic of court, for it was such, was held in Scott's office in the New York Life building, where for a couple of hours there was A &cenc that was intended to hustle timid men to cover. Scolt was on one of his tantrums agiin, and he proceeded to make it ex- tremely interesting for all those who dared to take exeeption to any of his statements or_rulings. The hearing of the Bancroft saloon case was on betore Judge Scstt and Judge Bowman was contending for a position that the loon was closed in an illegal manner. He had talked something like five minutes, when, fidgeting about in his chair, Scott broke out by saying, ''Sit down there; T wa: to hear what the other side has to say with reference to the matter.” Taken by surprise, Judge Bowman dropped back in his chair, and Attorney Tuttle, who represented the other end of the fight, took the pole, holding it for something more than an hour, going into all of the issues. After he had conciuded Scctt sailed In and dis- cussed the case pro and con, arguing the point of what property belonged to the e tate, what belonged to Bancroft and what belonged to the creditors of Bancroft, as well as interest of the mortgagees When he had cencluded Bowman asked to be heard, but with one of the waves of Scott’s hand he was motioned to a chalr and told to keep still, after which Scott held that any preperty put into the business by Bancroft for the purpose of replacing es- tate property that had been used was not the property of the estate, but was the in- dividual property of Bancroft. ABUSED THE ATTORNEY. When this statement was Judge Bowman intimated in a gentle manner that the authorities did not agree with the court upon the legal proposition. This was Jike showing the red rag to the enraged bull, and forgetting the dignity of his high positicn, Scott bellowed and pawed the ground, so to speak. — He denled that there was any ruch law and intimated that the attorney was try- ing 1o mislead the court. Judge Bowman was armed for the occasion and produced 4 law book in which the rule was laid down Scott tossed it aside, saying that he would not look at It, adding that if lawyers wan‘ed to show him law they would have to pro- duce their authorities in court. Bowm then wanted to read the law, but Scott would not listen, and as Bowman started to read, Scott took the book from him and threw it down upon the table. This ended the legal portion of the fracas, after which Bowman intimated that the court’s rind was a trifle disturbed and that he was fecling and looking a liitle ‘sour. When this remark was made Scott fushed to the roots of his hair and tien grew ashy pale, while his whole frame trembled with anger. For a moment It seemed as if explosion was follow, but cooling down a little, Scott hissed through his cl teeth the words, “You look as swest as a Bowman asked to be allowed to apologize, when Scott informed him that he would not listen 1o an apology. Bowman fold Scott that he did not intend to d» arything to of- fend the court and that had been cnly acting in the best interests of his client. Again Scott told him that he would not listen to any apology and gathering up his books, Bowman left the office. After he had gone Scott cut loose and roasted him to the queen’s taste to the crowd which had been attracted to the door by the loud conversa- tion. He said that Bowman the most impudent and impertinent man that he had ever seen and that he hoped that he would never come before him again in the trial of & cause, adding, “If he does he had better bring along plenty of money to pay a fine." The further hearing of this case will come before Scott next Monday upon the opening of the September term, at which time Bow- man will ask for a change of venue. the a8 recelve In fac close was made he End of the Russell Troubles.
