W. Young, N. A. Rala- bolt and E. A. Lulkhart of Norfolk, were in the city yeeterday enroute to Lincoln, as a commlitte: appointed by the citizens of Norfolk to look after the interests of that community in regard to the repair and re- construction of the buildings damaged and | destroyed by the recent fire As spokesman for the commitiee Senator Young said: “A few days ago there ap- meared in The Omaha Bee an alleged inter- view between the governor of the stats and the correspondent of The Bee at Lincoln, in which interview it was sugeested that | Be citizens of Lincoln were very much | interested in a plan to rebuild the asylum at Lincoln and to abandon the Norfolk h}flldlnll. This interview has aroused the Norfolk peopls and they are now vigorous in behalf of Norfolk. This committes has been appointed by the citizens to look after the Interests of Norfolk and the repair of the asylum. Argament Agninst Removal, “In the judgment of the commitiee and of all who have been at the scene of the fire it will be an act of folly to abandon the bulldings now in existence and to pe- bulld elsowhere for the following reasons After a careful inspection of the results of the fire ve find that the only part of the | main bullding that has been totally de- | stroyed is that part whick was constructed | n 1885 and which contained accommodu- tions for only ninety patients besides the | ofices and recention room and one dining | room. This part has been so injured by fire that the walls will have to be torn down and rebuilt, and this damage to the | Walls was caused by faulty construction in | the first pluce. Since 1385 there have been | constructed as additions to the main build Ing three wings. All of these wings were built for the accommodation of patients and comprise small cells or rooms sur- rounded on all sides by brick walls, By reason of the construction of these cells contalning brick partitions no damage of | any consequence has resulted from the fire except the burning of the floors. windows | and roof. The foundations and walls of | these wings have been cxamined by an arcbitect and have been pronounced to be | &ood condition as before the fire. Lows Not So Great. “The total value of the property before the fire was $260,000. A careful estimate of the value of the property in its presen condition is $176,000. The estimate of dam age, made by Architect Stitt of Norfoik who {8 the architect who maae the plans | and superintended the construction of one | of the wings, places the loss at $50,000, and 75,000 will be suficient to repair and re- construct tho bulldings in better condition than before the firc “An Impreesion seems o have gotten out that all of the property was injured by the | fire. This Is a mistake. The following | property was not in any manner touched by | the fire: One two-story brick building | known as the cheoel, 30x130 feet in area, | | trove es one two-story bullding 32:120 feet, which | & controversy relating to local issu was nsod as laundry, carpenter shop, at tendants’ rooms and power houss, which contains elx bollers, four pumps enginc. und dynsmo. There Is also a large brick | smokestack about 100 feet high, another two-story brick storehouse and two large harns, which cost $5,000, and there is in process of construction a standpipe 100 feet high which 1s now near completion, and the completion of which wouli ha rendered such a fire as that of this week impossible. “One of the wings damaged by the fire, according to the estimatc made by Archi- tect Stitt, by an outlay of $8,000 can be put in first-class condition, and when repaired will accommodate 125 patients. The other two wings can also be repaired by the ex- penditure of a reasonable amount of money Patienta are Removed. “The Board of Public Lands and Build- which has Inspected the scene of the used to be removed a portion of the patients, sixty-five of them going to Hastings and elghty to Lincoln. The other patients, to the number of about 125, are still uccommodated in the remaining bulld- ings, which were not in any manner affected by fire. These patients can be taken care of at Norfolk until the wings above referred to have been repaired. In view of the fact that the value of the property of the state in its present condition is $175,000 and that the same can be repaired for $75,000, it would seem to be improbable that any per- son knowing the above facts would enter- tain even a thought of abandoning this property and building elsewhere. “In our judgment the Board of Public Landa and Bulldings should at once repair the wing, which will accommodate 125 pa- tients and which can be repaired for $8,000, since in the judgment of Architect Stitt this wing can be placed in the condition Which existed before the fire within thirty days. “The lumbar dealers of Norfolk stand ready to furnish material to repalr the sall wing and the people of Norfolk stand ready to furnish the money to pay for labor and wait for their pay till 2 sopropriation can be made by the legislature, WILL NOT PUNISH STRIKERS Cincinnati Judge Refuses to Holad Cary e Workers for Con- tempt of Court, CINCINNATI, Sept. 25.—A court here had granted an injunction against the strik- ing carrl workers. Judge Splegle, who has concurrent jurisdiction with the Judge who granted it, today overruled a mo tlon to punish certain strikers for contempt of conrt because they continued plcketing and other interference with the factories. Judge Splegle sald all the strikers had not been served with notices of the restralning order persoually and that they included those charged with contempt in this case. The strike of the carriage workers here has continued for months and at times the sit- uation has been considered serious, as new men are being installed. SAMOANS ARE NOT PLEASED Think the United States Government is Not Treating Them as 1t Should.

(Applause.) At the late republican state convention we endeavored to define the sentiment of honest republicans in favor of good gov- ernment and honesty in public ofice. That sentiment expressed in the resolutions adopted at Lincoln has assured us a victory ext November. There can be no question about that. Had we been cowardly, had we simply sought to evade the vital issue. we could not possibly have arrested the great wave of popular indignation caused | by an act--perhaps only a mistake of judg- ment—but nevertheless an act that did not meet the approval of law-abiding citizens in this state Now, my friends, Douglas county always has been and will continue to be the political sterm center. Within the thirty- seven years that 1 have lived here I have partic A in weven or eight great sena torial contests and in nearly every one this county was (he battle ground for factional conflict. But after all the bitter warfare, when the eruclal test came, all the elements united against the common enemy. It was nly when the party forgot its duty and went abrolutely wrong that it had fin to succumb to the consequences of its ow: folly. O Year Forerunner for 14 The question that presents itself here to night is not so momentous as that which was before you when I addressed you in this ward a year ago. At this time the clection of a president, the election of » state ticket, or the election of two republi- an senators is not in question. It {s purely Nevertheless, whatever may be done this fall, in the off year of 1901, will have a reflex action upon what may happen in the 1802, You doubtless remember t I ap pealed to republicans of the Eishth ward twelve months age to rally to the party standard and supzort aot only its natlonal and state candidates, but the candidates that were placed upon the ticket as repr sentatives for the legislature. The out- come of that contest depended very largely upon what Douglas county would do: upon your action and that of the rest of the re publicans In this county. Fortunately for the nation and state a sufficient number of members of the legislature were clocted to Insure the election of twoe republican United States senators. Had there been two more members of the legislature defeated for the house of representatives Nebraska representatives in the United States senate would have been either Bryan and Allen or two other popocrats For Welfare of the Country. Now, then, 1 am impelled to make some remarks of a somewhat retrospective no ture. 1 am impelled to this step because of a peculiar ticket that was handed to me today. It is a ticket made up for (he Eighth ward republican primaries and s headed thus: “For the welfare of our country and the good of the republican party of this county.” This is a most extraordinary text, and the more so because I find at the head of this ticket the name of a gentleman who prides himself on being a republican leader—Mr. Jeftoris. we want to know whether the leadership of that gentleman, if accepted by any considerable number of republicans i the campaign of a year ago, would have been for the welfare of the country from a republican standpoint? (A volce: *No, certainly not.") I want to know whether under the pecullar policy pursued by that gentleman, and some others, it would have been for the welfare of the country to have sent Willlam J. Bryan and a populist to the United States senate? For that was the logical consequence of the conduct of this gentleman. (A voice ‘Is Jefferies a Bryan men? Do you mean to say hat Jefteries 1+ a Bryan man?") Mr. Rosewater—Jefferies would have helped elect Bryan to the United States by the course he was pursuing Same volce: “Just answer my question about Jefferis?’) 1 have answered you and now I hope you will not interrupt me agaln Should Sell-Outs He Rewnrded? S0 long as Jefferies was a candidate for county attorney no one had a right to inter- fere with his candidacy or prevent him from r«celving support. But after he had been defeated 1n a fair fight at the primary election—in which every ward in the clity decided against the faction with which he was associated—the only proper thifig for him to have done was to have acquiesced In the will of the republicans of Douglas county and to have quietly subsided, if he 1 not care to give public and active sup- rort to the ticket. But he and others as- soclated with him declared that they would rather have two democratic United States senators than to abide by the expressed will of 10,000 republicans in this country. Now, then, what would have been the inevitable consequence® The election of Mr. Bryan and a populist from this state. And what would have been the consequence if no senators had been elected last winter? In all_probability President Roosevelt would have been pintoned, helpless and unable to advance any measure that he sought to carry out in the congress of the United States. For one, I resent the motto printed on Jeffries ticket as a reflection upon ail republicans of the city who have been loyal and true and who have stood by the de ciston oi the primaries. There is also this other question Does Mr. Jeftries and bis leadership stand for the Interest of the republican party of this county? The geutleman I have referred to acted in concert with the enemies of the republican party and he received his re- ward only about six weeks age. He re- ceived it In money. He received $300. He received It out of the treasury of Douglas county, at the order of the Douglas county democratic commissioners. They selected him, when they had a county attorney of thelr own, and had four or five assistant county attorneys. They selected him to give them an opinfon as to whether they could give a franchise to an electric line out of Douglas county, and they paid him $300 for that opinton. Why did they do it? Was there not a suffictent number of promi- nent democratic attorneys in Douglas county. Where is W. S Poppleton? Where {8 T. J. Mahoney? Where is J. M Woolworth? Where are the scores of demo- cratie attorneys who would have been glad to take §$300 for their opinion. But no, the democratic board went to the man that had betrayed his party I was anxious to for give and forget his conduct of a year ago and would have been glad to do so but for this outrageous feature of his mercenary treachery. (A voice: Name him! Nami hi ity Sh @ Not He 1 ulted, I have named him suficlently, and 1 have gone into this matter at this time merely to show that it is an impertinence to have this heading on the ticket. Mr. Jefierles has a right to be a delegate. We have not barred anyone. We know that in the lnst great fight, when the life of the party was at stake, many deserted the colors and yet in the recent campaign every man, whether he holted or voted straight, was given the same opportunity o go upon the delegation that represenjed Douglas county at Lincoln -even men who held public office and who betrayed their party—were sent there, although they should not have been. But the amnesty that we have extended ought to stop there. We ought not to pw a promium on treachery. Republicans who supported the national and county tickets and sacrificed everything, Ought not to be blackguarded because they had not gone outside of the party and sought to destroy it Let me define when the line should be drawn. 1 have time and again varied from my party and supported candidates of the opposition party, but never on the na- tional ticket and always only when the candldates were notoriously dishonest or disreputable. Whe perative, Duty § From the day that I became a voter— and my first vote was cast for Ulysses 8. Grant and Colfax, in the city of Omaha, in 186810 the present day every vote I have cast was for the republican candidate for president (applause), ana with one excep- tlon, for every republican candidate for governor.

(Applause) 1 never remalned on any county, state or national committee to betray the party. And I draw the line, furthermore, and say that when a man holds an office at the hands of the republican party he is in duty bound to support its candidates and should not have to be bought. (Applause.) And yet we hal to buy office holders last year. Can you imugine anything more dlsgraceful? The national committee had o send several thousand dollars to Omaha to placate wen who held office under Willlam McKinmy to support Willizm McKinley (Applause.)s To support the ticket tha Willlam McKiniey wanted elected—for he was just as much interested in the el of two republican senators as he was in his own. The pledge that I made him in December—although a grea: many predicted that I would rather risk the ruin of eve thing than give up my own ambition—the pledge that there would be two republicun senators returned from Nebraska—was re deemed, and the last dispatch I sent to the president was that my pledge had been redeemed. (Applause.) 1 have not had a sore head since then. 1 have felt n> grievance and feel nene now I kave be:n ju~t the sam man at the same old stand, as it I had never been a candidate. T have never expressed even one word of regret. But 1 do feel indig bunt that those who have heen loyal to the party should be stigmatized and that those who have falied In loyalty and attempted to defeat the ticket should be honored rather than those who stood by it A About the Machine, And that brings me to another watter. We are in the midst of a very pecullar campaign and perhaps alo in a very pe- cullar eia of politics. We cannot blame the democr.ts or populists or mugwumps for saying anything mean about republican offictuls or wbout republican administra- tlons. We cannot blame these people for trylug to create the impression that tho organization of the republican party is a menace to good government. But we deny it. There 18 no good reason for suying that the organization of the republican party of Douglas county Is any more dangerous o the safety of Douglas county or Omaha or South Omaha than is the organization of the republican state committee or the national committee to the state and nation But yet we have republicans, or so-called republicans, who are constantly driving pins and saying that this organization which they call the machine—is dangerous to the public welfare, that it plots con- stantly to thwart the will of the party, and that it f+ orrupt and in collusion with the enemies < good government Now, then, we have a circulsr that Is forthcoming, of whick I have received a copy, which is to be sent out fn this city broadeast tomorrow. And this is some of the matter which it will contain “Obe year ago the republicans lost one county commissioner, the county attorney two state senators, and two repre tives, and the county gave McKinley and Mercer each a rousing majority.’ ‘With the brothels, the police depart ment and a newspaper united into a politi- cal engine and an era of corruption un- equaled in our municipal history has come defeat aftor defeat.” The Only 8 f-Lubricating Machine, This emanates from republicans and is t ®0 to republicans in the name of repub licans. It bears the earmarks of that bril- Mant Nebraska statesman m Black burn, who recently appeared before the county board and felt terribly aggrieved because the county commissioners refused to vote a franchise over every road in Douglas county to an imaginary electric railroad, constructed on paper without a dollar to back it and for which Mr. Black- burn was supposed to be the sponsor and vhich he expected to farm out to some syndicate willing to buy the franchise It is in the eternal fitness of things that Blackburn should denounce the machin He s himself a self-acting, self-lubricat ing, quintuplex machine; a machine that is unequaled in this county or state and 1 doubt if its equal could he found anywhere in the country. He s the chairman of (he republican congrossional committee and he i3 all the other four members. He is the whole thing. For nobody has ever heard the names of the other four members of that committee. They have never held a meeting. Blackburn meets with himself he handles the fund; he runs the machin and he tries to run it at the expense of the other machine, (Laughter.) The other machine levied only 3250 as an assessment upon his patron saint and not 25 cents would he pay. The other machine paid for the halls in which ho talked: the other machine paid for the lighting of the halls, the advertising, the brass bands, every- thing, and not a penny would he con- tribute. And he expects now to capture the machinery of the party under false pre- tenses for his next congressional race Only a Masquernde. That is the object of all this turmoil and the masquerade about Judge Vinsonhaler and the machine. Why, they publish to- night that Vinzonhaler has brought out an anti-machine delegation in the Fourth ward and on the delegation is William J Con- nell and half a dozen other notorioutly the friends of the machine. What is the sense In making fools of the people. Why not be honest, even in politics? A voice (“Is Vinsonhaler with the machine?’) He was nominated at the instance, of Mavor Moores and he certainly cannot be o un- grateful as to be his enemy and he would bave a very hard time to carry the Fourth it the city administration was against him.

FURTHER TALK OF TAXATION Real Estate Exchange Hears Commit- tee Reports, but Postpones Final Action. Taxation was discussed at the meeting of the Real Estate exchange yesterday and the report of the committee appointed to in- vestigate the matter supplied the text for the remarks of those who took part in the discussion The report was in two parts, the first referring directly to the question of an equalization in the assessments of real and personal property. Taking up the ques- tion of the assessment the report says that the assessed valuation of the eity iy $36,- 847,000 of which the real estate represents about five-sixth, leaving only one- sixth of the amount to be made up on personal property, including all bavks, rallroads, telegraphs and insurance companies. It states that the tax commissioner agrees with the commit- tee on the result to be attained, but wants to take more time to accomplish it than the committee desires, It fs recommended that a reduction to a large amount be made in the valuation of real estate and then the total valuation be increased by the council, thus bringing the personal property assessment to a higher plane. The sapplemental report advocates the consolidation of city and county offices as mentioned previously John 8. Knox said that the trouble was not that taxes in Omaha are too heavy, but that they are unequally levied, real estate bearing more than its just proportion of the expenses of government. Final action on the report was postponed for one week.
