It was asserted that under the control and management of the state the conviets could be made self-sustaining. In other words, the eost of feeding, clothing and guarding the prisoners: was to have been offset by the value of the labor which they perforuged. On this score there appeared to be no divergence of opinfon between Gov- ernor Holcomb and the members of the toard of PPublic Lands and Building The governor wanted this aecomplished by making the warden the manager of the institution. The board, or, rather, Russell and Churchill, who dominate it, on the other hand, had a scheme of their own. They insisted on letting a new contract for the perfod of two years and until the legislature should provide differently To carry out their scheme they advertised for bids, ponsible parties, including ex- Warden B Iked freely of cut- ting the expense of the state from 40 conts a convict per day to 20 cents a day. When the bids were opened, how- ever, the Beemer bid at 40 nts a day was found to be the lowest. With such manifest collusion on the part of the bidders all proposals should have been rejected. In spite of this the contract was awarded by the board to Beemer under conditions that it construed to be a mere employment at $3,000 a year for Beemer as superintendent and a subordinate as bookkeeper. The action of the board was prouounced illegal by Governor Holcomb and access to the prison has been constantly refused the alleged contractor. And now Mr. Beemer has filed a bill with the board for the maintenance and care of the convicts at 40 cents per day for every day since his alleged contract was made. This affords conclusive proof that the contract, as Beemer un- derstands it, was not an employment 250 a month, as the board pre- tended, but a renewal of the Mosher contract under conditions more unfa- vorable to the state than the original. Mosher invested several thonsand dol- lars for the plant that belonged to Stout, supplied all the clothing, food and paid the laries of the warden and guards, Beemer claims the same allowance without furnishing anything, cither in the shape of plant, subsistence o guards, How can any public officer who pre- tends to ¢ any regard for the re- sponsibilities resting upon him make nimself a party to such a barefaced imposition? Is there any plausible ex- cuse for countenancing such an undis- wuised treasury raid? From the very st of the penitentiary job and (wrough all its vavious stages The Bee has protested in behalf of the taxpayer and honest government. Although its vemonstrances have been ignored it will continue to denounce the unbusiness- like methods pursued by the Russell- Churchill gang in connection with the penitentiary management. semer, MEETING THE DEFICIE. s that a great many repub- licd members of the Fifty-fourth con- gress do not concur in the view ex- pressed by Senator Allison in a recent speech, that the tariff should not be touched by that congress, because any measure which the republican house of vepresentatives would adopt would only be met by the veto of a democratic president and therefore any agitation of the subject would simply disturb business condition It is said that many of the republican members of the next congress believe that there is only one way for them, as republicans, to proceed to meet the deficiency, and that is by proposing special tarift bills in- tended to raise revenue if not to inci- dentally protect American interests, According to_ the Washington corre: spondent of the Cincinnati Commercial- Gazette, if the democratic administra- tionists are calculating upon the repub- licans in the coming congress meeting the deficlency by any increase of in- ternal taxes they are doomed.to the most abrupt disappointment. The democrats will propose among other things to double the tax on beer. This measure, si the correspondent, will be pigeonholed in the house committee on ways and means, and in its stead will be proposed by republicans meas- ures to raise revenue by impost duties, like a duty on wool. Republiean lead- ers say that if the democrats prefer to issue bonds rather than raise reve- nue on imports, simply because the lat- ter will assist rather than retard Amer- ican industries, or to issue bonds sim- ply because republicans will not v their fundamental principles S heavy internal taxes in order that free trade may Dbe established, well and good. The republicans will not adopt a democratic revenue policy even to prevent the issuing of more bonds. Some prominent republicans have ed that the proper course for the of the mnext con to pursue will be to pass the appropriation bills and adjourn. This would not be wise, howey whether regarded from the standpoint of duty or from that of the welf: of the republican party. It is obviously the duty of the majority party In congress to propose measures for supplying the government with needed revenue sand it shonld do this in accord with its principles and en- tively without reference to what the democrats in congress or the adminis- tration may do. Senator Allison sug- gested in i Marshalltown speech, which has receiv a great deal of at- tention, that revenues must be raised, it at all, by some compofing of differ- ences. But which of the parties should propose this? Certainly not the party which is entirely without responsibility for the existing conditions. The re- celpts of the government are running behind expenditures, the gold reserve ibjected to periodieal attack, and credit of the government is im- red, because of the blundering policy of the democratic party. It is mani- FOR It appes festly absurd to ask the republican THE OMAHA DAILY party to provide a remedy for this state of affalrs by a sacrifice of its principles and policy. The republicans of the Fif- ty-fourth congress will undoubtedly have a plan for providing the govern- ment with needed revenue. This they should put in the form of law regard- less of what the senate or the president may do with it. They will then have done their duty and the responsibility for continued deficits will rest else- where. THE MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICANS The republicans of Massachusetts on Saturday renominated Governor Green- halge and the other state officials, not- withstanding the threats that had been made by the A, P. A, leaders to defeat the governor, This organization opened headquarters in Boston several days be- fore the convention and begun an earn- est eampalgn against Greenhalge, but as the result proves without effc Not only was he nominated on the first bai- lot by an overwhelming majority, the opposition showing little strength in the convention, but a plank in the platform distinctly condemns the policy of the A. P. As. It was made evident that the great majority of the republicans of the Bay state have no sympathy with the secret organization that introduces sectarianism in politics, and it will probably now go to pieces in Massa- chusetts, all the traditions of which are hostile to such an organization. The example thus set ought to have wide- spread influenc What the Massachu- setts republicans have done to eliminate this element from politics can be done by republicans everywhere if they have the courage to act. It is only nec 3 for the real leaders of the party any- where to fearlessly attack this os bound element in order to bre for it cannot maintain itself against an honest and manly exposure of its char- acter and purpose. The republicans of M not equivocate regarding nation sues. The platform speaks out plainly in condemnation of the democratic tar- iff policy and says that while the repub- lican party is not pledged to any sched ules it offers to each American industry such protection as shall equal differ- ences in the price of labor, declaring that in the distribution of protection the farmer and the miner are engitled to consideration well as the manufac- turer. This is & sound position and is consistent with the policy embodied in the last republican tariff. A pungent declaration of the platform that if re. publicans were liberal with appropri- ations they furnished revenue to meet them and steadily decreased the publie debt, things which the democratic party failed to do. Of course the platform is at once straightforward and sound on the currency question, declaring that the government should maintain each dollar which it issues on a par with its standard gold dollar and should not permit the free coinage of silver at am ratio not established by international agreement. A weak feature of the plat- form is the declaration in favor of the enactment of a restrictive immigration law, but this is to be expected in a state where the labor element is so large a proportion of the population as it is in Massachusetts. It is, therefory one of those perfunctory platform ut- terances which do not ¢a much welght when the influences that prompt them are understood. The contest in Massachusetts thi year will, of course, be one sided, the democrats having no hope of carrying the state. According to the Boston Ad vertis the democratic candidate for governor has so pronounced himself in favor of the plection of Greenhalge that it is the understanding that no special effort is to be made to def him. Last year Mr. Greenha clected the second time by a plur: of over 65,000. He may not have so large a plurality this yéar, but his elec tion is assured. ANOTHER JUGGLE WITH F And now comes Cadet Tay man of the council finance committee and juggler extraordinary, with an ar- ray of figures to prove that the late defaulting treasurer did not divert as much city money as was shown by the exhibit published in The Bee. Mr. lor vouches for the correctness of his counter-statement and takes occasion to sure the taxpayers through the me- dium of the city council that they hav not been chiseled out of as much money as they had been led to believe by the disclosures made public in this paper. Coming from such a disinterested pa- triot as Cadet Taylor, whose bulb bank had been illegally borrowing both city and school money to keep itself on its legs, this assurance will be taken for what it is worth, First and foremost, The Bee has no retraction to make for what it has charged against the incompetent and derelict officials whom the dervish coun- cil combine is shielding from impeach- ment and prosecution under the laws. The figures published by The Bee were copied from the books in the offices of the city treasurer and the secretary of the Board of Education. Taking Chair- man Taylor's statement as correct and complete, which we by no wmeans con- cede, the only difference is that the true apportionment of the interest illegally pocketed by the late treasurer with the connivance of the city comptroller, cred- its more of it to the school fund and less of it to the city funds. Instead of diverting $355,000 of city money, the late treasurer diverted less than $200,- 000 of city money, the remainder diverted being school money. Instead of pocketing $3 of interest due to the city for every $1 pocketed due to the school. district, he is said to have pock- eted only §1 of interest due to the city for every $3 due to the school district. This discrepancy, If It exists, is a distinetion without a difference. The total amount of interest on public money unlawfully converted to his own use by the city treasurer is precisely what The Bee has indicated, if not greater. If the bulk of this money really belongs to the schools instead of to the city, so much the worse for the comptroller, He pretended to have been denied access to the treasurer's bank deposit books, but he always had the records of the school board before bim.

President H. C. Akin of the Board of Education has decided that if he can't have the dervish nomination for clerk of the district court he might con- sent to take that for city treasurer.

The managers told him the privilege had been let to another man for $500, but according to the report of Secretary Furnas the soclety received only $57 for the privilege.

CAMPAIGN CHATTER, Great Scott wanted to be the only judge to be honored with a renomination by the dorvish republicans. He held out against Keysor to the last, but finally condescended to let Keysor share the glory with him so long as he could turn down all the other ro- publican Judges.

McDonald, it Is said, will poll the Scotch vote, while Bax- ter Is hot after the native American vote. It is hardly fair for Broatch and Chaffee to put Vandervoort in the box as they have during this campajgn. Broateh and Chaffee aro both candidates for the dervish nomina- tion for mayor. Vandervoort Is under po- litical obligations to both and will have to $how his hand pretty soon. He can't afford to glve Chaffee the Dodlin heart, and he needs Broatch in his business. In halting between two duties he Is apt to come out as a candi- date for mayor himself, A bright young girl approached Dorsey Houck at the court houte and asked him to buy a few tickets to the fair that was being given for the benefit of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. Dorsey Is one of the rankest A. P. A.s in town, but he's a member of the Episcopal church of the Good Shepherd and thought it would be only the decent thing to help the girl and the church out at the same time. He invested $1 In tickets and then took charge of the girl and introduced her to every official in the county building and stald with her until she had sold all her tickets, After the little ticket seller had gone away Dorsey sat down, flushed with the happy consclousness of having done a &ood deed. He looked at his tickets and— Holy Moses, discovered he had bought four tickets for the Catholic fair at Creighton hall and had urged his A. P. A. friends to do the same thing. He felt as Scott aid when he found he had signed a petition for a Catholic woman who was seeking a posi- tion from the library board. He tore up the tickets and sought to repair the injury he done his conscience by paying up his dues in the subcellar lodge. Colonel H, C. Akin has announced himself as a candidate for the dervish nomination for city treasurer. . B. Bryant is also a can- didate. They assert that they did not get a fair run for their money in the county con- vention. Charley Unitt is not a candidate for any office that is secured by votes of the citizens. He is quietly seeking the appoint- ment as meat inspector, to succeed Frank He don't pretend to know anything about the meat business, but says he is as thoroughly qualified from a political standpoint as Frank was. Ranter Scott in his speech before the dervish judicial convention said: “Four years ago T said that the man who came before me with a patch on his trousers would have the sage consideration as the man who appeared ina broadcloth Prince Albert coat. I have Kept that pledge.” Indeed you have C.

Smith is serving a fivo years' term in the peniten- tiary and the self-confessed, equally guilty Jardine is wearing his broadcloth Prince Albert coat on the streets today, and he has to thank you for outraging justice and the law for his benefit.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Senator Allison has sounded the Towa keynote. Hon. John C. New has been interviewed again, and there is renewed activity among the fricnds of Hon. Cushman K. Davis. Eastern presi dential candidates may, as well be hustling. Boiton Globe: McKinley's former hotel landlord declares that the Ohio governor is “the noblest man on God's green earth.” If this is really true, of course he should be nominated without opposition and _elected unanimously. But Tom Reed and William E. Russell are pretty passable sort of men. Philadelphia Record: The Allison boom for the presidential nomination is rapidly as- suming proportions of a serlous character. By many political observers it would be laboled “‘Dangerous!” and certainly by all other candidates it will be regarded as at least dignified. Towa's affection for her favorite son is exceeded in history only by the devotion of Maine to the “Plumed Knight.” Chicago Record: Tt is an open field as yet for everybody, and—Platt and Quay to the contrary notwithstanding—it is idle to at- tempt to eliminate Mr. Harrison from the race unless he voluntarily and peremptorily withdraws. Should the republicans in 1596 decide that they want a man of contervative views, not troubled with extreme opinions on the tariff, hailing from a central state and possessed of a record which at least justifies confidence, Mr. Harrison would be a very strong candidate indeed.

Schuyler Quill (pop.): With Judge Muxwell running for suprerac judge this fall agalnst Judge Norvai we have a direct fight between the corporations and the people. It is not a partisan fight, as the populists have laid aside partisanship in behalf of clean courts and for a haueh incorruptible. Kearney Hub (rep): A letter just re- ceived from Massachusetls by a prominenmt poltticlan of this clty contalns a very warm endorsement of Samuel Maxwell for supreme Judge. “Met” states that he and “Max" were chinms In the days of long ago, and he regrets exceedingly that he cannot vote at the Nebraska election for the purpose of giv- ing the old man a lift, Aurora Sun (dom.): Judge Maxwell hus cepted the nominmation of the populists a a “nonpartisan.”” He docs not state how he stands on the “Omaha platform.” and does not renounce his republicanism. Now wo have two republicans in the field and (wo demo- cratg, only one of them favoring the free coin- age ‘of silver, and that is C. J. Phel of Schuyler, the regular democratic nominee. lace Herald (pop.): Judge Maxwell has written his formal acceptanco of the popu- list nomination for supreme judge. Ife insists op accepting the nomination, not as a popu- list renouncing his former ropublicaniem, but as a nonpartisan candidate. We bellevo if the judge would indorse the Omaha platform he would be elected by several thousand ma- jority, otherwise his election is questionable. York Democrat: The nomination of Julge Maxwell by the populists places his caudi- dacy for supreme judge above partisan pol- itics. No national ‘issue will be discussed in his candidacy, but it will be fought on the line of state fssues and on honesty, fair and impartial judiclary. His acceptance as ten- dered him by the populist party is no sur- prise, but will causo a general stirring up of old party tricksters and dishonest politicians. Madison Reporter (pop.): When the pop- ulist state convention placed Samuel Maxwell in nomination for judge of the supreme court it fired the first shot for a nonpartisan ju- diciary and the dethronement of mouopoly in the supreme court. Judge Maxwell was once defeated for supreme judge becaise he would not become subservient to monop- oly, but now the eyes of the people are opened and he will be elected because of that fact. Vote for Judge Maxwell and a non- partisan supreme court. Valentine Republican (rep): Judge Max- Pwell has at last accepted the nomination as a candidate for the office of judge of the supreme court, tendered him by the populist party. In accepting the nomination Judge Maxwell does o strictly as a nonpartisan, not as a populist. He has been a life-long republican and still professes to adhere to the cardinal doctrines of that party. This i3 the first time in the state that a political organization has headed its ticket with a man who is not and has not been committed to_any ot its doctrines or principles. Plattsmouth News (rep.): The state press is too flippant with the name of Judge Max- well. The judge has a perfect right to run for the office of supreme judge If he wants to, and the point that he makes in his letter of acceptance favoring a nonpartisan ju- diclary is unanswerable. The republican party was glad to honor Judge Maxwell for eighteen years on the supreme bench, and it doesn’t look well now for republicans to turn up their noses because he iy a candidate on another ticket. He knows just as much as he did when he was a republican judge and is equally as honest. We are for the straight republican nominee, but we don’t like to see a man of Judge Maxwell's age and ability mentioned as if he were a ward hecler. Chadron Signal (pop.): The question the people will vote on this fall when they vole they want judges on the bench who will give exact justice regardless of party lines and high officlals, or whether they want judges who will sereen and excuse the rascals of their own party. While, as a populist, the editor of this paper would prefer to see Judge Max- well make his views on the whole scope of reforms proposed by the people’s independont party more prominent in this campalgn, yet as a citizen of Nebraska he is heartily glad to support Judge Maxwell ‘on his platform of faithful and honest administration of the law. Judge Maxwell's twenty years' record on the supreme bench and his opinions in the reports of that court are wide enough platforms for all lovers of civil liberty, and good government, populist, republican, demo- crat and prohibitionist, to unite in his sup- port. —_—— The Good Ti Cincinnati Enquirer, One of the Rothschilds is credited with the opinion that within five years the prosperity of the United States will surpass that of any other country in the world.

An angel stands at the Dream-Ship's helm, An angel stands at the prow, 2 And an angel stands at the Dream-Ship's side With a rue-wreath on her brow. | The other angels, silver crowned, Pilot and heimsman are, But the angel with the wreath of rue l Tosseth the dreams afar. | The dreams they fall on rich and poor, They fall on young and old; And Some ate drenms of poverty | “Ana some are dreams of gold.
