P. Huntington eat conde- seension in himself using his pass over the Overland route. othar people shows Image is apparently tiring of being a preacher without a pulpit and is looking with favorable eyes upon a tempting call from Washington. Wash ington has some charms for people who are not professional politi Dr. T ans. If the railroads can afford to haul anthracite for $1 a ton for even a brief period they can afford to haul corn and other farm products at rates that will enable the farmers of the west to com- pete with other farmers and to living price for their crops. s The question Is, Will the Texas au- thorities be as violently opposed to prize fights on the day the great contest is to occur as they profess to be now. TIs it not likely that their ardor to suppress pugilists will become less and less until it finally disappears just in time for the great event? The nonpartisan iden as applied to a Judge “means one who will faithfully and impartially administer the law to all alike without feeling, bias or preju- dice” Obligate a judge to any political faction and he will feel constrained to temper his decisions favorable to that faction or to members thereof. Keep the judiciary out of the mire of party politics. Collis P. Huntington swears that he has no intention of crippling the Union Pacific by diverting traflic from the von- necting Central Pacific to his Southern Pacifie. Mr. Huntington's deeds would be far preferable to his swearing. If he 18 really in rnest about his good will toward the Union Pacific, let him use his influence to restore the train facili- ties which were formerly accorded the public. Local coal dealers compiacent the people of this community that showd the transportation charge on hard eoa) between Chicago and the river go down 10 50 cents a ton the price to local con- sumers would not be reduced. The supply, they say, has long since bheen stored in their bins, and upon it the regular rate was paid. The dealers for- get that when the was raised in midwinier the price to consumers was holste 150 a ton. I's a poor rule that won't work both ways. 1ssure Republican presidents have appointed democrats to the federal supreme court out of respect for that wholesome American sentiment which is opposed to a partisan judiclary. Look back over the line of district judges elevated to the beneh by the electors of this judicial district. The men upon whom all par. tles centered are those who honored the office and the profession of law. And the men who have seandalized the hench and made hollow mockery of justice were the creatures of machine politics. An ente Carolina prising member of the South constitutional convention poses to create by the organic a4 county board fto pass on qualifications ¢ all applicants for mar licenses and 10 refuse to grant them to parties not phys. feally fitted to enter the married state. This is unique to say the least. But of what avail would it be if other states were to remain as they arve, without regulation of this subject? If South Carolina should adopt the proposition she would soon see elopements from that state in numbers never dry pro- law the inge ned of, The Towa code commission expects to finish its work of code revision, upon which it has been engaged for more than a year, by November next. This is a great and expensive undertaking and everything will depend upon how well it Is performed. The danger in all such eommissions is that laws may be altered under the pretense of simple ision, There has as yet been no suspicion that the Towa code commission has used its authority for this purpose.

As to Tammany it is unchanged. The popular rebuke it received has not improved it, and with Croker again directing it there is no device of, politi cal trickery or rascality which it will hesitate to adopt in order to regain Powe Hence there is as great a de mand now as there ever was that the democrats who revolted against the machine shall not only refuse to give it support but bring their influence to hear to defeat it. It is evidently the democrats make the question of Sunda vance o prominent in the campaign, and the republic having forced this question forward they will be compelled to accept the issue. The republican state convention declared in favor of enforcing Sunday laws in the interest of labor and ality, This is construed commit ting the party fo the support of exist ing statutes, which prolibit the sale of liquors on Sund; The democratic platform favors local option, allowing cach community to determine for itself whether liquors shall sold on day.

The republicans elected the governor last year by a plurality of 156,000, Manifestly it will be a difh cult for the democrats to ove come this, especially as the party is ot harmonious, but it may be regarded n that the new issue growing out of the enforcement of the ex law in N¢ York City will materially reduce the republican vote.

What, may we inquire of the es- Bee, would Omaha amount to if it were not for the kels? The peo- ple of outside of Douglas cou have msde Omaha what it is today. T cattle, hogs, grain and other produce have made Omaha one of the best cities in the great west. Nebraskans have always looked toward Omaha with a feeling of pride. They have always looked upon that city as a prod- uct of their own creation.

At latest advices the attorney gon eral of Minois had not received from Washington any oflicial information of the reported transmission to him of the evidence obtained by the Agricul tural department rogarding the beef trust and its operations. But that in he receives it and it shows there is a trust in viola tion the Ilinois he will in stitute procecdings against the packers said to be in the combine. Attorney General Moloney ean be depended upon to do this. He has shown a praise worthy disposition to enforee the Ilinois anti-trust law, which is very stringent in its provisions, and has had notabie in the ot Whisky trust. If the government sufticient .to conviet the of being in o beef trust Mr. Maloney will undoubtedly make the most of it, Meanwhile the packe deny the charge he case of laws one the ha success case evidence Chicago packers s unqualifiedly and assert that there is absolutely no foundation for it. Mr. Avmonr declares that Seeretary Morton is simply threshing old straw and that the aceusation now made was answered under oath before the sen ial com mittee at Washington, when Armour testified there had never 1y combine ¢ reement of any between the firm of Armour & Co. any other party or parties to fix price of live eattle of beef. A member of the firm of Nelson Morris Co. also stated that there is solutel, no understanding among the packers which affects the price of eattle way or the other. The investizgation by the senate com mittees- did fail to show the e of a beef trust, but these were publicly conducted and of them given s0 far in advance to enable the parties to the combination to dissolve it 1l before the committees and wiake oath that nothing of the kind ex- isted, The Departinent of Agriculture investigation has been nducted quietly and it quite possible that it may have discovered facts to justify the charge that an understanding exists among certain packers by which they are enabled reguli and control the of live cattle and dressed be At any rate the matter is again com manding public interest, for it is one that concerns ev household in the land, and if the government authoriti have such evidence of the existence of a beef combine as the report from Washington has indicated they should lose no time in taking the steps to have judicial proceedings in- stituted. As the administration regar the federal anti-trust lnw with disfavor, holding it to be so defective to be practically worthless, the best thing it can do is to turn over all the informa- tion it has to the [llinois authorities and give them whatever other ance it can.
