Fremont Is the first city of Nebrask to take advantage of the new law per- mitting municipal ownership of clectric lighting plants. The city will furnish are and incandescent lamps at a greatly reduced cost as compared with present prices and even then make a handsome profit large enough to pay for the cost and maintenance of the plant within a few years. Municipal ownership of gas, electric lighting and water plants ought to become a fad in Nebraska. Commencing this fall the Norfolk sugar factory will use erude oil for fuel fustead of conl.

This does not include the salaries of the street commissioner and sewer inspectors and milk and meat inspectors for the year. Computing their salaries at $10,- 000 the aggregate city pay roll for 1887, which was a boom year, was $146,665, as against $311,746 for the present year. It will be noted by comparison that the only department that carvied a heavier pay roll for 1887 than 1805 was that of the city engineer, but that is readily accounted for by the fact that the nd- ing, paving and sewer construction for that year was very extensive and re- quired a larger engineering force.

CONFIDENCE JUSTIFIED. The confidence uniformly expressed by treasury officials that the bond syndi- cate would fulfill its agreement not to permit the gold reserve to decline below the $100,000,000 mark has thus far been justified. Tt was recently stated that members of the syndicate had assured the treasury officials that they intended to protect their customers in Europe and that some de stance extended to the United States would be, in their opinion, a small price to pay for the maintenance of good faith with the pur- chasers of American securities and the continnance of the market for them. The evidence that this statement was made with authority is in the fact that the syndicate came to the assistance of the treasury as soon as the depletion of the reserve bhrought it near to the danger point, and it is most probable that this action checked the movement. At agy cate It certainly had a reassuring effect, sinee it removed all doubt as to the in- tentions and the good faith of the syndi- cate, the ability of which to carry out its contract has never been seriously questioned. In view of this there appears no rea- son to doubt that the syndicate will keep up the gold reserve during the re- ning six weeks before the termina- tion of its contract. What may happen thereafter is problematie. There will still be two months before the meeting of congre in which the treasu will be unprotected. But it is possible that by that time the tide of gold will set in the direction of the United States, and it Is believed at the Treasury rtment that such will be the case. This belief is based upon the history of the gold movement in past ars and the in- ereased demand for currency in the autumn to move the crops. It is noted that the experience of the last four years, none of which have been favor- able to gold Imports, has shown an e cess of imports in August, or a small excess of exports which turned into an excess of imports in September or Octo- ber. This was the experience in 1801, 1803 and 1804, the year 1892 being the only one of the four which showed an excess of exports in September. Of conrse the fact must be taken into con sideration that the conditions have n terlally changed. A different tariff sy tem from that of the previous four years is now in operation, under which a great stimulus has been given to the importa- tion of foreign merchandi while, on the other hand, the demand abroad for our poaducts has fallen off. This is a sitnation which has little in it to en- conrage expectation that the gold move ment will turn toward this country, even if the outtlow should not continue, But the treasury will undoubtedly he protected by the syndicate until its ontract ends, October 1. ee of ma reserve The energetic manner in which Omaha has taken hold of the state fair has long since silenced the critics who as- serted last winter that there was but and extray of city af deny t ance in the administration and who can teuthfully retrenchment and reform are imperatively demanded in the interest of taxpayers and especially the home owners? For years The Bee advocated a non- partisan judic in this district. Such a policy found favor with the people and for a long period of years both lead- ing political divisions endorsed the loctions of a citizens' committee Qistrict bar. While it is, of course, im- possible to keep the judiciary entirely out of politics, the people can prevent cheap ward rustlers from packing cancuses and primaries and foisting barristers upon the bench. glance along down the line of district ‘judges during the past ten se- t the smallbore Take o 7 years, The men who brought dignity and character to the beneh were se- lected without regard to their politics, while the men who were chosen by par- tisan machines have degraded if not seandalized the courts of this county and district. There is a growing de- mand for non-partisan judges. There is every reason why the bench should be taken out of the mire of party politics to which it has descended in recent years. The jury in the Durrant murder trial, which is just now in progress in San IPrancisco, consists of fourteen men. That fact very naturaily seems to have aroused inquiry ameng people who are not familinr with the California laws. The jury system of California provides that in eriminal cases more than twelve Jurymen shall be empaneled and sworn in and shall hear the testimony and arguments. The additional members hear the arguments, but are allowed to take no part in the deliberations and final conclusions of the jury unless one more of their colleagues shall be disabled by sickness or prevented by any other suficient cause from sitting through the cas Mistrials in eriminal are thus made rare, if not im- possible. or cases The city comptroller and clerks will draw $9,880 a year out of the city treasury for the year 1893, The city clerk and his deputies and em ployes will draw §8,320 for this year. Eight years ago, during boom times, the salaries of the comptroller's office ag- gregated $5,700 a year and the city elerk and his deputies managed to get along very comfortably on $5,500 a year. To- tal for 1887 for comptroller and clerks’ nd his deputy pay roll, $11,600. For the year 1805 they aggregate $18,200, or more than 50 per cent increase, when in any other business house the pay roll reduced from 25 to 50 per ¢ A year or more ago certain 2x4 mem- bers of the city council passed an ordl nance taking away from the mayor the diseretion of licensing or prohibiting circuses.

It now becomes have been nt. necessary to undo all this and rest to the mayor the authority taken from him.

Apropos of the persistency with which “the English bulldog” is kept in evidence, atten- tion should be called to the obtrusiveness of the 32 and 48 caliber revolver. A great many writers seem to think that they have not performed their full duty in describing a murder, sulcide or assault unless they have minutely described the weapon with which the crime was committed. Few read- ers care about the caliber of a revolver, and only in cases where such details will shed light on a mystery are they at all necessary. Send the “32 caliber” to repose with the “dull_sickening thud,” “drowned like rats," ana the other verbal hacks which have long outlived their usefulness. ——— Mtics in Town. Chicago Record. Towa's coming state elections are rendered doubly problematic as to results in the threat- ened revolt of the free silver democracy against the Marshalitown platform. There is no certainty as to the exact extent of the disaffection, but it is sufliciently widespread to hint at the defeat of the democratic ticket. From all parts of thé state and from repre- sentative peoplé in the free silver wing of the party the ery has gone up against the platform” and against the alleged meddling of federal office liolders in the recent conven- tion. 1 Strongest of these’ protestations, perhaps, is that cf Samuel B. Evans of Ottumwa, who has written an dpen letter to President Cleveland, charging that federal office holde were allowed undue’freedom In the cony tion. Many silver papers in the state are voicing this and ‘prédicting a big loss in democratic votes. There is a seeming likeli- hood that the contaglon will spread. Towa populists' have taken heart at this condition of democricy, but the democratic voter, under such elrcumstances, is not to be counted on as more than‘a negative ally of another party. The ‘“stay-at-home" demo- crat effects results simply through not cast- ing his vote. To just what extent this in- fluence may _ alter republican and populist totals is a “question now worrying party leaders on all sides.
