THE .LORRERS RALKED.

The sandstone iobbers who have been
holding high carnival with a corrupt
city council, in their bold attempt to
force a paving material which our prop
crty owners have r~opudiated, are brought
to the end of their string with a sudden
jerk by the decision of Judges Neville
and Wakeley in the injunction suits.
For a second time in its history the
citizens of Omaha have found an appeal
to the courts a final resort against ring
sters and scoundrels without the city
council and iobbers and corruption lists
within it. In both the present case and
the Holly job the Union Pacific railroad
was an active alder and abetter in the
swin,lles and all the force and influence
of that corporation was brought to bear
to defy popular sentiment and fasten
heavy burdens upon our taxpayers
against their prayers and protests.
The Hascalls and rascals in tho city
government will learn after a while that
the people propose to govern Omaha,
and that if their will is disregarded in the
council it will be enforced by the
courts. And the Stouts, and the Shelbys,
and Newmans, and Thurstons will also
discover that the time has gone by when
the tax payers of Omaha will submit tc
the bulldozing methods of the great mo
nopoly, or cringe before their threats o
interference with their business Interests
if they dare to protest against corrup
combinations between the %monopolie'
and corporation tools in the city govern
ment.
The jobbcrs and robbers have beer
again baked, and THE BEE congratulate
Omaha on the breaking up by our court
of a Tweed ring that was formed to fat
ten upon our tax payers, and fasten itsel
upon the city treasury. The decision o
the courts means that the law must b.
obeyed; that the wishes of the peopl
must be respected. 1t means more. l
gives warning to all dishonest pub
lie servants and knaves that tn
courts are able and willing to protect
the citizens against all plots and rings di
rected against The public welfare b.
whomsoever contrived, and that corpora
ton influences and corporation lawyer
cannot affect Mt least one bench i
Nebraska, when such influences and al
torneys are allied with law-breakers an
combined to perpetrate a great wron
against the community.

THE BUSINESS SITUA 7YoN.

General trade throughout the country
continues unsatisfactory. Although here
and there an enlarged movement is noted
and there are indications of increasing
activity, in most lines the volume of bus
mess continues on n small scale even for
the dull period of the year. The heavy
failures in the leather trade last week
had II disturbing effect in eastern trade
circles. Credits ARE more closely scrutin-
lied and caution denominates
all branches of trade. Des-
pite the apathy that prevails in some
quarters and the general conservatism,
merchants continue to express a hopeful
feeling concerning the prospects for the
fall trade. II is believed that n good
business will be done rs soon rs the pres
ent disturbing influences have spent their

many sections the prospects have not i'm.
proved during the week; but the outlook
is still favorable for an abundant yield.

INCIDENTALLY, The BEE feels called
upon to remind its readers that a portion
al least of the credit for the successful
ending of the paving fight belongs to this
paper. Those most directly interested
will know just how much. Although by
no means agreeing with the choice of
many of our property owners us to the
material which they desired laid on sew
eral Of the streets involved, THE BER
insisted from the outset that the wishes
of those who were to pay the taxes
could not be lawfully disregard
ed by the city council. When
the municipal jobbers attempted
to ride rough shod over the taxpayers OF
Omaha, to disregard their wishes and Il
defy public sentiment, this paper bold!
exposed the jobbers and called upon thu
people to appeal to the counts. 1t CAV
its reasons for the belief which it hell
and those reasons have been supporte'
and maintained by Judges Neville an'
Wakeley in their opinions on the ques
tions involved in the paving suits.
AS usual, The BEE has fought through
this fight single handed. But a fight oil
behalf Of the people in which THE Be
was not opposed, either actively 0
silently by the Union Pacific organs
would be a curiosity in the history @
Omaha.

LETTERS from Russia are full of rumors
Of new revolutionary plots against the

eighteen nihilists who were secretly tried
in May, eleven have been executed and
seven sentenced to exile for life. A late

who had long been a leading spirit among
the nihilists, and had devoted herself for
years to the removal of the emperor.
She lent a helping hand to the patriots

and who were willing when the time

THE INJUNCTION GRANTED.

The district court has granted the in
junction petitioned for by our citizens
against the laying of Colorado sandstone
pavement against the wishes Of the tax
payers and property owners abutting on
the streets ordered paved. We print
elsewhere in full the opinions rem
dered by Judges Neville and Wakeley,
Upon the principal points involved in
the hearing, it will he seen that both
Judges are unanimous in sustaining the
position of the petitioners. The failure
of the council to determine and establish
by ordinance the area of property to be
taxed for the cast of the improvements is
held to be fatal to their power of deter
mining whether or not a majority of
property owners had or had not properly
petitioned for the material to be used in
the paving.
A large portion of both opinions is de-
voted to "a discussion of this point which
a month ago was declared by this pape,
to be the vital issue in the proceedings
Our citizens are to be congratulated Owe
the result and the bench is also to b'
congratulated over the ability and judica
fairness which they have shown at ever,
step in the hearing. The question
passed upon were of the highest impor
lance and the decision reached will be O
} the greatest benefit to our citizens an
} tax payers as public improvements pre-
, gress and the rights of property owner
become further involved by their prose
b cution.

FRANCE is pursuing its Imperial poll
Cyl" as D'Israeli called it, near home as
well as in distant countries, and is nego-
tiating with the prince of Monaco for the
purchase of hat little territory of lire
pute. The prince is willing to sell for
TO- coz, 900 francs, but with n tender feel
ing for the il siitution which has hitherto
paid all his state expenses he wants to
stipulate that France shall recognize the
gaming tables concession till 1910.
France seems to be negotiating upon this
basis, though it is hard to believe that
she will at last grant the right. From
its very position, almost surrounded by
French soil, France has a vital in
terest in the suppression of TIM
promoter of suffering and evil-doing, ant
she might well follow Germany in per
emptorily shifting up the gambling re
sorts and refusing compensation for I'M
expired leases. 1t is thought that tn,
English, German and Italian govern
ments would support France in such Al
action aver if she does not buy Monaco
That public opinion throughout Europ
condemns this institution seems clear
and it is said to have made itself felt s
sharply even in Monaco itself that pr,
perty is decreasing in value all along til
Riviera so RAPIDLY that many have bee
ruined.

The management of promotions under

THE management of promotions under
the civil service law is a difficult question.
The law allows the commission to pre-
scribe rules for examinations, but they
have not yet done so and whether the ex-
aminations shall be competitive or
whether the head of the department
shall select persons for advancement, as
is now done and largely by favoritism, is
the problem. Favoritism must be O.
.cluded, that is the main thing and it will
be impossible to conduct a department
with entrance upon terms of merit and
promotion upon terms of favor. Promo.
ton must be made on terms of merit, too,
and the whole question is what is the
simplest method of determining merit be,
tween a number of clerks or officials o
the same grade. Their previous worl
will furnish one important element for
ground Of choice, which might well b,
oomplemented with m examination.
