8 THE OMANA DAILY BERE: IRRIDAY, CITY RIPE FOR REFORMATION TFifth Warders Join the Movement to Purge Out Partisanship, BUSINESS METHODS IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS Great Need of by n Reenpit Ofceholders Under t Inting Syste on Sherman avenue, Corby street, was woll filled last night by the voters of the Fifth ward, who turn:d out in response to a call for a meeting of the eltizens in the Interest of the Citizens’ league. Fvery chair in the large hall was fllled and a large number of men present stood throughout the meeting, and all evine:d deep Interest in the plans of the league, as dlscussed by the speakers. 7 Ignatius J. Dunn was selected as chairman and Cornelius Farrell, secretary of the meo'- ing. Mr. Dunn briefly stated the objc's of the movement as he understood them, s called upon Mr. E. W. Simeral to address the meeting. Mr. Simeral stated Erfling's hall, near that the object of the Citizens' league, which had been organiz in nearly every precinet of the city and county, was th» selection of good men for of- fices In the city, county and judicial district It was necessary to good government that men of honesty, Integrity and ability be chosen to office. Taxes in Omaha and Doug- las county were burdensome, were sapping the very vitality of the business men and the home owners, and one of the problems of government was to reduce taxation to a minimum and to secure an economical and business-like administration public af- fal he trouble with the present administra- tion,” said Mr. Simeral, “is that they have been trying to run the city on a magnificent scale, The result is that every fund in tSe eity is overdrawn and officeholders are draw- ing more money than they could get from any other kind of work for business firms or other corporations. While business men in all lines have been practising retrench ment this city has gone on increasing its list of salaried offices and paying fancy sal arfes to men who are neither capable nor trustworthy. And the taxpayers foot th bill.” The itable speaker then reviewed work of some of the men held office under the domination P. A. in city and county affairs up the crookeincss of Eller, late county and others of his ilk. He referred to Judge Scott as_the man who had brought the judi- clary of Douglas county into reproach and d repute all over the country on account of his disgraceful conduct on the bench. He re- cited a number of instances of the unjust, arbitrary and llegal rulings of the man on the bench, and asked If that was the kind of a man the people wanted to pass upon their property rights and their liberties. WORD FOR SCOTT SUPPORTERS. His denunciation of Scott was warmly plauded by all present except one man cried out, “I guess we'll have to vote him.” “Then," retorted the speaker, “you would vote for a yellow dog it he were nominated by the gang of which Scott is the chi:f. 1 to sce the color of the man's hair who will stand up here or any place else and say (hat he will vote for Scoft because he is an hon st Judge or a good man. He's a good A. P. A.. but he's the most damnable judge that ever disgraced the bench of this or any other district, and the man who would defend his conduct or vote for him is not doserving of . (Applause. Simeral closed his address with an appeal for the voters of the city and of the Fifth ward to stand up as men and declare themselves in favor of the sclection of honest and capable men for office, without regird to partisanship. Mr. R. W. Richardson was the next speaker, and was given a warm welcome by his fellow citizens of the ward when he ap- peared before them. He made a stirring ad- dress of thirty minutes and reviewed the issues of the campaign clearly and forcibly. “It is one of the objects of this citizens’ movement,” sald he, “to change the present tests that’ are applied to the men who are selected to conduct our public affairs, Under the present rule in the county and city there are two tests of fitness, The first In the test of partisanship, and the second and con- trolling test Is the test of religion. Public affairs deserve our closest concern, for they affect our pocketbooks, our property, our homes and our children. Something like twc million dollars a year are wrung from the people of this city and placed fn the hands of the men who conduct our public affa They declde upon the paving of our strects, the building of our sidewalks, the condemning of our property, the education and training of our children, ‘and, I ask you, should not the character and fitness of these public rervants demand your highest thought and concern? The man is not true to his community, to his family nor to himself ‘who selects a public official for solely par- tisan reasons. (Applause.) It Is your duty to rise above partisanship and there is no more opportune time than this fall. No great national issues are before the people for their constderation, and it is your duty to lay aside partisan prejudice for the common good. WHY NOT DO BUSINESS? “The sentiment out of experience of the past Is in favor of keeping our governments abreast of tne very spirit of enterprise that fills the air of the country. Then why give yourse!ves over to the contentions of parti- wanship? Why dig up the dead issues of the ast and array neighbor against neighbor and rother agalnst brother in bigotry and intol- erance? Why not apply the same test to your public servants and officlals that you do to the men you employ to conduct your pri- vate business affalrs? You do not ask, when you employ @ man to manage your business affairs, whether he is a republican, a demo- crat or a populist, a Methodist or a Catholic The owner of the smallest business concern in the city does not apply the same prin ciple in the employment of his help that you employ in the se'ection of the men wh manage your public affairs. Why dix up the strife and contentions of 300 years ugo and briug them into present affairs? Any prinei- ple that denles any man the right to wor- hip God according to the dictates of his own consclence is unamerican, unpatriotic and un christian and has no place under our consti tution and our flag. It Is time to bury tarfanism, as sectionalism was buried a few days ago at the reunion of veterans of the north and south at Loulsville and on the battlefield of Chickamauga. There is no place In this land of the free for any man or for any organization that seeks to proseribe any man on account of creed.’” Mr. E. Rosewater was then introduced by Chairman Dunn and was enthusiastically greeted and given the closest attention dur- ing his remarks: SAMPLE JUDICIAL UTTER “Thirty-six years ago 1 was located in northern” Alabama,” sald the speaker, “on the Memphis & Charleston railway. 1 had been before that at Murfreesboro, Tenn., where some parties had taken offeuse at some expressions of opinion 1 had made about the questions that afterwards led to the rebellion, I was glven word that if 1 returned to Murfreesboro I would be hanged within an hour. (Laughter) I took the traln that night and appeared at Murfrecs- boro the next morning and told them to go of the criminal division of the distriet court on with the hanging. A week ago the judge gald he would give $100 for a kodak photo- graph of my body hanging from a telegraph pole. (Laughter.) “In all seriousness 1 ask you to ponder over the fncident. Can you concelve anything more atroclous than a man occupying a high official position advocating anarchy and mob rule? A street - loafer who would use such language would be rrested at once and thrown Into jail. Yet a udge of the district court has used such language. 1 simply emphasize this point (o show the low stage of politics In the city when a judge on the bench will use such language, will make speeches so vile that no paper will dare to publish them, and u language that should not be read by any re- spectable woman, or any decent wman. (Ap- plause.) Yet that man is the leader of ile A. P. A, which has ruled Qmaha for last four years, and now the people arc asked to stand up and declare that they have cnough of this kind of rule, and from the faces 1 the discred who have of ap- wh for ‘! see before it me, 1 believe they Intend to do WONDERFUL OFFICIAL LAXITY. “In the accounts of the late treasurer of Omaha there was a discrepancy In his bank accounts and his books In the office of $355 000 at one time, and yet the comptroller of the city was not able to discover It. For ! months the books were juggied so that the | money of the city was diverted to the per- sonal use of the treasurer, in sume rl!ll‘h“ from $564,000 to $80,000 in different ms up to as high, n his banner month, as 000, and yet the men charged with checking | the funds of the city never discovered that Uhero was anything wrong with the books of | the treasurer. Four men have been for | months drawing $20 a day from the city for | checking the books of the eity treasurer, that | should ave been checked every day by the men who are paid handsome salaries for that purpose. And yet the men who are In this ring now tell us that they will give us an- other term of that kind of pros- perity ir we wiil reelect them to office. Without regard to the A P. A. question, I desire to say that the concern of ono is the concern of all. You can't strike down one class without striking at all classess. You cin't destroy one man's rights without jeopardizing the right of every other man. Apart from the outrage of havi'g dark lantern schemers lssuing orders t the council, to tho Board of Educition, and even | to the courts, thera is enough to warrant a ma cal overturning of the affairs of the city and county While the county com- missioners have governed the county more cconomically than has the c council in its management of city tters, there has stifl been an unwarrantel ~waste of the people money The poor firm, for instan where are kept the {rvalids, the indigent and the insane of the county, Is under the management of a man who spends most of his time in the saloons, and doing political work for the gang that has kept him in office. They have gone on both In the city and the county creating new offices and filling them with men who could not secure positions in any business concern at half the salaries they are drawing at the expense of the taxpayers. In the city of Omaha, in 1887, when the form of govern- ment was just the same o it is today, tax- payers pald $146,000 for salaries of the city offices. Toda; the taxes for that purpose amount to $341,000, and the money is wrung ut of the taxpayers, the business men and the small home-owners, who have all they can do at best to keep their homes from the clutches of the mortgage holders with their foreclosures and deficiency judgments, RESULT OF COWARDS' WORK. “The wrong feature of rule by the AP A s that it deprives us of the most important function of govern- ment and places the administration of city ftairs in the hands of a small fraction of the populatic acting behind clos:d doors and in star chamber caucuses. In this country all grievances should be discussed publicly. Tho action of the A. P. A I cowardly. They ke:p on holding their meetings in secret, sowing dissensic in public and private affairs and vilifying and Ing about men who are their betters. (Applause.) The Jacobins of France are only the foreigners of this order. They caus:d the Killing of 250,000 men, women and chil dren in three years in France by the samio methods that the A. P. A, are ting in this country. In this y they are not bloodthirsty, bt their & ader, Scott, who wants to do his fighting by proxy. (Applause) He would give $1,000—if you could coliect a judgment from hin and I don't belizve you could—to have a dead body hung up for his delectation. He wants to do his fighting by proxy, just as he pays his bills by proxy He hasn't paid for the pr ing of his campaign cards three years ago, and he told the treasurer of the republican com- mittee that if he want:d his sment he had better get it It he could. That's the kind of a payer he is. (Applause.) “I will not detain you longer, as there is business to be done yet, as I understand it, in the organization of a ward club. We will have a meeting next week to nominate candidates for office, and 1 appeal to you to help us keep the ball rolling, and I predict that at the coming election a tidal wave will sweep over this town that will everlastingly bury the incompetents. After the close of the speaking the Fifth Ward club of the Citizens' league was or- ganized with R. W. Richardson as president, R. McElhinney as secretary, J. W. Ki kead as vico president, and John D. Birm- ingham as treasurer. H WARD RALLY. = Reform 1ed for this By There will be a grand hall, 1210 Park avenue, tember 27, at 8 o'clock.

SUNDAY CHOOL of the Senson's Monthly Ings Last Night. monthly meeting of the Omaha Sunday School Teachers' assoclation, which has but recently been organized, was held last night in the parlor of the First Pres- byterfan church. One hundred Sunday school superintendents and teachers, representing twenty-seven schools and missions, were present. The meeting was called president of the assoclation, lace, who briefly outlined purposes aimed at by the assoclation, which, he said, converge into the one object of uniting the entire Christian force of the city in spreading Sunday school work. As a means to this end the association is offered as a parliament wherein superintendents and teachers can meet for the interchange of ideas. Dr. Hellings of the First Baptist church took the place of Dr. Crane, who was called out of the eity, in enumerating briefly the principal advantages offered by the associa- tion. These advantages were stated to be op- portunity for obtaining informatios for con- sultation, fc o-operation, for cultivation, and for gaining of spiritual power. All were more or les essential in successful united work and if the machinery of the association ran in such a manner as to offer such advantages it would become a potent force in the Chris- tianity of the city. At the conclusion of Dr. Hellings’ the meeting was thrown open to discussion. The superintendents and teachers were in- vited to mention some of the difficulties they met in their work, and many availed th selves of the opportunity. These difficulties were discussed in an effort to find a solution nd the latter part of the meeting was de- idedly interesting nd instructive. At the conclusion of the discussions a half hour was spent socially in order to allow teachers to_become acquainted with each other. The exccutive committee was instructed to consider the advisability of holding a union teachers' meeting each week, where the lessons of the following Sabbath could be discussed under the direction of a com- petent instructor. Adjournment was taken to the evening of the last Tuesday in Oc- tober. ASSOCIATION. First Mects The firs to order by the George G, Wal- the abjects an address PRECRY CEE rults 3 nhles, Fruits fresh from the vines and trees are gathered eight months in the year, Vege- tables can be had fresh from the garden twelve months in the year. In Septemb: while the pastures of Illinois and other west- ern states are parched and dry, and farmers are compelled to draw water for their stock and feed them the grain fizlds,our pastures are covered with fresh, green natural gra; and all cattle are fat enough for beef. Any cereal or product that can be produced in any of the northern or western states can be produced here, besides a great many other things that cannot be produced in the regions named. Feach trees threa years old, from the sced, bear from a peck to half a bushel per tree, and there are bearing grape vines three years old from the cuttings. While in the west the ground is snow-covered, radishes, lettuce and peas, grown on the open ground, are being shipped from central Mississippl. Garden farmers are not limited to three or even six months of shipment, but have twelve months every year for their market time and something to sell every month. Special fruit and vegetable trains are run by the railroads. Apples do well and are generally taken by the home market at good prices. Pears, peaches, plums, grapes, strawberries, in fact, all small fruits are very profitable crops. Tomatoes from this section command the highest price, Irish and sweet potatoes vield and pay well. In fact all vegetables are sure and paying crops. Two to three to: of hay per acre is cut from land on which earlier crops of grain or vegetables have been harvested, and this without the expense of plowing or seeding. Bermuda is the staple grass for both hay and pasture; it makes two to four tons per acre. Johnson grass yields well and makes excellent hay. Orchard grass and red top do well and remain fresh and green during the winter. There is in addi- tion red clover, alfalfa, melilotus, cow peas and lespedza. Alfalfa gives five to eight cuttings annuall Happily the gates of sectionalism are off their hinges and the southern people welcome the tide of immigration that a few years ago was flowing westward. The newcomers are not more enthusiastic over the advantages of this region than are the natives. It is not strange that one finds so small a desire to change among southern people, or that their temperament is restful instead of restless. There is no rigorous season to pile up fuel or fodder for. The soil never rests, but generously furnishes crop after crop the year round. Think what a man can accomplsh with six months winter eliminated from his calculations. Write or call on George W.
