THERE Is a good deal # padded out
nonsense being t~elegraphed from Lin.
coin to eastern papers about the ena
torial contest, and especially regarding
the republican, cauouses. The truth
Of the matter is that no candidate
who Is believed to be o favorlte Of the
railroads, even if nominated by a eau.
Gus, can secure his election in the
Joint convention. There are enough
republicans who know that their SON
stituents will not permit them to
6kulk behind the dictates of q caucus
to defeat any such a scheme. And
candidates who are depending on the
caucus boom to foist them into the
seat now occupied by Alvin Saunders
are likely to discover this fact to their
serious disappointment. People are
getting tired over the length Of the
contest, but they would gladly see it
protrscted to the last day of the SEES,
sion If by that means an honest, sble
and square-toed senator could be Sc
cured. la that event the railroads
would be q good deal more tired than
the people.

crowd the corridors of the capital.
The senate has been engaged for
over a week In the attempt to pass a
bill which will do something toward
meeting the popular demand for tax
reduction. 1t has reduced the tariff
on iron rails from $28 a ton to $17. 90,
placed lumber ON the free list, and
made some excellent changes In the
duties on wool, metals and pottery.
But the senate's right to originate a
revenue bill will be challenged in the

Fence the Track.

Falls City Journal.
With over 1O0 bills already intro
duced In the senate and 200 In the
house it may be foolish to propose any
additional legislation, but we do think
that q bill ought to be introduced by
some one and passed compelling rail-
road companies to fence their tracks,
as it seems they will not do this with.
out compulsion. There are two excel
lent reasons why this should be done,
for safety to trains and to ave the

The BEE again rises to remark that
there are too many cost mill justice
courts IN Omshs, and that their mum.
Der orght to be decreased by an act of
the legislature fixing tho number at
not more than Il j~uStice for every
5000 people in cities Ct the first class.
Omaha has now twelve Justices of the
peace, OF two for each ward. There
is not enough legitimate business to
support more than half the number.
The consequence is hat business
which Is not legitimate is hunted up
to roll up the fees by which our JUS
tees make their living. Sever.l Of
these Justice pedlars are no~toriously
Incompetent and dishonest. Their
opinion Is always given against the
aide which is able to pay the costs.
Costs are what these legal sharks are
after, and justice is a secondary con-
s%ideration. The consequence is that
litigation is encouraged rather than
discouraged, ana those who are too
poor to transfer their cases are made
the victims of their poverty.
1t is standing scandal that in many
Of our justice courts no respectable at,
torney al win his case against some
pettifogger, who ''has the ear of the
court, and who throws all his cases
into that particular judicial grist mil
in return for the judges favor.
The plain remedy for this shameful
condition Of affairs, In the opinion o
the beat lawyers, Is to cut down tn,
number If Justices courts in Iarg
cities. The positions will then b
worth enough to command r~especlabl

THE SUPREME COURT OPIN-
ION


The Omaha railroad organ with 3
republican label makes o skulk.
Ing assault on the supreme
court for their opinion rela.
tive to the unconstituti0nality OF q
railroad commission. 1t pronounces
the decision fippant, illegal and on a
par with an ordinary stump speech
and charges that 1t was presumably
prepared to answera political demand"
Too cowardly to openly charge that
Judge Lake and his associates sold
their opinion for political applause, it
places the remark in the mouth Of
outsiders al d then mildly says that
the charge is "of course, unjust"
The object Ct the entire article is to
discrsdit our highest state tribunal to
slur it's judges and to cast diacredit on
it's work.
Now the fact Is that there was no
pressing demand from the legislature
for an unfavorable opinion upon the
commissioner system. Many Of the
members, notably General Conner
among the anti. monopolists believed
it to be unconstitutional, but fully az
mary others who desired honest regu.
lation ,f railroads thought q board Of
commissioners the most feasible plan
of dealing with the corporations. The
BEE has held from the time the COM

Bog-spavin is puffy enlargement on
the inner side of the hook joint, and is
essentially the result of synovitis there
being an increased amount of synovial
fluid (so-called joint Oily in the joint,
which causes the capsule to bulge on
the inner and forward part of the hook,

the Inflammation of synovial men,
brane is acute and the fluid is soon alb
sorbed, but more frequently it is of a
sub-acute character. The balance be-
tween effusion and absorption being de-
ranged, there is chronic filling of the
Joint by synovia, which has tendency
to become more or less viscid in its ma
ture, and consequently less easily alb
sorbed. During the time the horse is
working or being exercised the fluid be-
comes more or less absorbed, in some
cases so much so that the disease may
not be noticeable until the horse has
been standing some time. The treat
ment in recent and acute cases consists
in rest, laxative medicine, and frequent
ly repeated bathing with cold water
during two days, after which, if neces-
sary, apply extensively the tincture of
iodine. In the treatment of all synovial
enlargements it is of much Importance
to give the animal a long rest. In some
rare instances hard tumors form at the
seat of bog-spavin and occasionally they
even become bony.-PrGt11e Farmer.

There She SHOUTS.

About three o'clock the other after
noon, says the New London, Conn
Day, as Captain ID. G. Tinker, an old
whaler, and one of the crew of the
light-ship, were coming from Bartlett's
Reef with the keepers monthly report,
in the large schooner rugged boat at
tached to the ship, Captain Dan dis
covered something in the water, on his
lee bow, which looked strangely I'M
familiar in these waters, and yet pecu-
liarly familiar to Captain Tinkers re-
collection of the days gone by. He
called to the man with him, and pointed
to the object in the water just at the
moment a monster lifted itself out of
the deep, and the forked spout of a
right whale was cast high into the air,
leaving no further doubt of the in
dividuality of the strange visitor. Capt
ain Tinker estimated that the whale
was at least of sixty barrels capacity,
and had not less than $4,000 worth of
oil and bone inside its carcass. The
sea monster was first discovered about
a mile and a half northeast from the
Bartlett's Reef light vessel, and in the
deep water between Goshen and Bart
let's Reef. Captain Tinker steered to-
ward the. whale, tackled and retacked
after him, got within fifteen feet of him
once, and within twelve feet of him
again. He kept the animal in view for
more than an hour, and saw him sink,
rise and spout five successive times.
If there had been bomb lance on
board there were three certainties of
killing the whale. 1t was too late when
Captain Tinker arrived in the CITY to
return with a boat and weapons, and
probably the whale is by this time
navigating the temperate waters of
the gulf stream, The right whale is
very seldom seen in the North Atlantic.
and it is more than hundred years
since there is any record of such a fish
in Long Island Sound, although over
a quarter of a century ago it is
recorded that parties went right whal-
ing in the waters between Fisher
Island and Montauk Point. If Can't
ain Tinker had two hours more
daylight so that he would have had
time to get boat out before dark
ness had set in he has no doubt that his
bank account would have been several
Thousand dollars heavier.
