Of the thirteen members of the rivers and harbors committee of the last house of representatives six failed of re-election to the present house, all of the latter being republicans. There 1s keen rivalry for the vacancies on this committee and the west particu- larly is active in the effort to secure representation that will offset the domination of the seaboard and lake states. The action of the last congress indi- cates plainly that if the upper Mis- {gouri river is to secure anything sub- stantial its friends must assert them- selves inside the committees. The last appropriation for the entire river, which is 2,200 miles long, was only $655,000 and the bill was so worded that it is apparent the intention was |to expend practically all of that sum — ~ {on the comparatively short reach of Just because we have a warm day |the stream from its mouth to Kansas in April does not make it safe to let |City.

A Campaign Canard Refuted. In the campalgn preceding the nomi- nation of Willlam H. Taft for the presidency nents in his own party made much of the charge that his nomination was being forced by federal office holders under the dictation of Theodore Roose- velt. The charge was reiterated so often it is fair to presume some who made it brought themselves to believe it and doubtless convinced others who bad no means of knowing the truth. The National Civil Service Reform league set about investigating the re- | ports and the conclusions of its in- vestigating committee have just been made public.

With the delegates from the south altogether eliminated, Mr. Taft would have had votes more than enough to nominate him and thus is removed even the slightest foundation for the charge that he owes his po- sition to the federal brigade. The committee took time enough to make its investigations to enable it to reach an intelligent conclusion and the report s made at a time sufficiently removed from the campaign to free it from the suspicion even of political expediency, even If the character of the membership were not such as to render it above such a suspicion. The election established the wisdom of Mr Taft's nomination and an unbiased in- vestigation has vindicated the man- ner in which the nomination was made. | - | William A. Poynter. The death of ex-Governor William A. Poynter comes as a shock to the people of Nebraska not only by reason of its suddenness, but also because of its tragic character. Although his ‘de- mise is due to entirely natural cause pleading for a law promoted by the temperance advocates, will surely velope him with an atmosphere martyrdom Looking backward. William A Poynter secured his prominence by elevation to the high office of gov- ernor on the wave of populism that swept over Nebraska in the early nineties, and he was the last of the populist governors before the wave re- ceded. As governor Mr. Poynter filled the position to the best of his ability, but left no deep imprint on the legis- lation or administration of the state, Since his retirement to private life he has been but little active in politics and public affairs. He had made few enemies and will be mourned by many friends. en- of Sample Railroad Financiering. The proposed plan of reorganization of the Chicago Great Western railway is a fair sample of the present day system of railroad finance. The road went into the hands of a receiver for the sufficient reason that it could not meet its obligations. 1t is now pro- posed to pay $10,000,000 of the $13.- 000,000 of the floating debt by an as- sessment upon the holders of the de- benture borids, scaling the amount of preferred stock slightly and increas- ing the amount of common stock. The substitution in smail part of common stock for interest bearing debentures and a reduction in total capitalization to $102,000,00, represents the total of the water which is to be squeezed out in the bankruptey court, The New York Commercial, one of the best authorities in the country, figures that on this basis for the best year in its history the company would have been able to pay only 2.2 per cent on its preferred stock, which 1s entitled under the terms of its issue to 6 per cent, and nothing on its com- mon stock, which value of $45,252,665. Even this small retuin is on the basis of a mainte- nance charge of only $895 per mile on the main line and $390 per mile on the subsidiary lines. i Instead of squeezing the water out of the concern now when there is a chance, the reorganizers propose to continue the capitalization prospects with stock, whose only value is to be manipulated by specula- tors, while the public foots the bill. So long as railroads can make a show- ing of nondividend earning capital just 80 long will the courts stand as a bar under present rulings, to the readjust- ment of rates to a figure demanded by the public. | able by reason of financial weakness to give service to communities which they serve, to which they are in ju tice entitled, but also unable to exert any effective competition on other railroads.

OMAHA, TUESDAY APRIL 6, 1900 Unsolicited Advice to Omaha Kansas City A rumor comes from Omaha that that municipality is considering the advisability of acquiring and operating its water tem. Mayor Crittenden has been asked to tell what he knows about Kansas City's experience in the water works business and he has gracefully sidestepped He turned the matter over to the city comp. troller, who says he will report that the experiment of municipal ownership in Kan sas City has been a good thing The average citizen of Kansas City will smile grimly at any attempt to set up the local water works system as a model In vestment, especially in face of the bond election within & few weeRkw to vote $1,50, 000 to keep the system in half way decent shape. Ever since the Kansas City water plant was purchased, in September, 15%, At & cost of $3,100,000, it has been a con- tinual burden which has drained the city treasury and the pocketbooks of the citi- zens without interruption. Soon after the first bond issue of $,100,000 the city was compelled to lssue more bonds to get con- trol of a lot of old and practically worth- less mains in Westport, which town had been taken into the city. A few years after the Westport bond issue the city put out $1.100,000 “improvement” bonds, which brought the total bond expenditure (o $4,275,000. The last report of the water de- partment shows that the total bonds re deemed amounted to $78,00. which leaves ays- The Two Horns 8t. Paul While the democratic press of this state is tearing its linen in trying to see which can say the meanast things about Howell, Ransom, et al., whom they claim have se- duced the Nebraska legislature, and made of It a legisiative body which did the bid ding of the corporations, let us see whal ocauses might have prevented this. It was often sald during the last cam- paign that if Bryan were elected president he would be able to manage congress Bryan himself in his speeches declared that the effect of the elsction would be such that if he were elected congress would bow to public opinion and allow him to have his way.

When we add the 1,600,000 which the city is expected o vote this spring it makes a total water works indebledness of $4,002,000 Bad as s the above showing. it does not yet exhaust the melancholy record of debt An annual tax levy has been made for ten vears to provide for a sinking fund and to pay intercst on the bonded indebtedness of the plant. The levy started in 188 at 1 mill. In 182 it was 2 mills the last report shows that the now 1% mills. During all this time the plant was being improved and extended, and in the nature of things it should have been pay- ing its running expenses at least. But no. While the city was paving the annual in- terest upon A huge debt and issuing bonds from time to time to keep up the piant, the system was losing money and the in- surance companies raised thelr rates be cause of the poor service. A private corporation, properly regulated would have glven the eity decent service, extended that service to all the outlying districts, pald the interest upon its own bonds from its revenues and at the same time have given the people of Kansas City an abundance of water ar fess cost than now.

Has Bryan failed to handle his own party In his own state? Then he certainly would be entirely unable to handle his own party in the entire country. People can belleve elther things that they wish.
