PRESIDENT ARTHUR is reported as
strongly favoring all coalition move
ments In the south which involve q
separation from the old bourbon re-
gime. The National Republican
claims that the president will give his
personal support to such movements
and that they will secure the ncour
agement and support Of the republican
party throughout the country. We
do not believe that the National Re-
publicau Is entitled to speak
for the republican party
throughout the country. In fact,
Just now II Is difficult
to know Just who Is. But one thing
Is very certain and that Is that a great
many honest and sincere republicans
will not take kindly to any coalition,
under whatever name, which is based
on dishonesty and has no other end
In view than q scramble for office.
The Mahone.R iddleberger coalition
hurt the endorsers q great deal more
than the loss of a majority In the gan.
ate, and two or three more such
shameful bargains would disgust
enough republicans to precipitate
a genuine political revolution. When
al party Is SO far gone that
1t Is anxious to barter principles
and the observance of the commonest
commercial honesty for votes, 1t Ia
time that 1t should be buried. Presi.
dent Arthur may, perhaps, be hood.
wlnked into nanctioning such coali.
tionu, and tho National Republican
may endorse them, but the mass OF
honest republicans will be very
likely to hold their noses and vote
the opposition ticket.

ACCORDING to Tom Morton, of Ne.

going to New York to marry Durant. "
That marriage, we oil know, was con.
summated, but the Doctor divorced
himself Just as 500 as poor Durant
ceased to DO a millionaire. If we re-
member rightly, the "only child" Of

THE state of Illinois Ia blessed with
q very wicked legislature. The lower
house of that body has adopted a
joint resolution to abolish the peniten.

tiful stupidity to instruct the Lord to

Omaha daily bee., 1883-03-23

IT IS q sad and awful thought which
sometimes presses upon. us,and noverso
heavily as after reading his essays In
the Omaha Herald, that If Doctor
Miller had never emigrated to Ne.
braska We should have had no Omaha.
Suppose the stage that carried the fu.
ture editor of the Herald ACROSS Iowa
had broken down and he had turned
back discouraged. We should have
had no Herndon house hashery, no
bridge bonds, no magnificent depot
and no subsidized democratic organ,
his own and only child. We should
have missed the ''Homs Gossip" with
one word for old and valued citizens,
and six for Doctor Miller. The mod.
est anecdotes of what Jay Gould and
Sidney Dillon remarked from time to
time abont Omaha and Its great edi.
tor would never have appeared In
print to delight the Insignificant atom
who never hobnobbed In the homes ON
Fifth avenue or gossipped with the
heads Of the old Credit Mobilier gang.
That memorable narrow guage contest
would never have occurred and we
would have been bereft of the shining
example which the doctor then gave,
Of the motto that she who fights and
runs away, will live to fight another
day"
And 80 although the Doctor is op.
posed to public improvements and
still believes that the more q city Il
bled by the monopollsts the greater
Its chance of prosperity, we ~rejoic,
that over twenty-five years ago h,
dared to bless Omaha with his pres

WHEN the legislature authorized the
selection of counoi1men and school
boards by the voters at large, 1t was
done mainly to raise the standard of
capacity, and do away with tn svils of
ward cauouses and hummer nomins-
lions. But the very object Of the law
has been defeated during the past two
years by the manner In which oonvsn.
lions have nominated candidates for
these offices. Instead Of voting for
each man separately, ~ they do for
mayor, police judge and other
general officers, each ward
delegation names It's OWE
man and that man Ii unanimously rati'
fed regardless Of who he may be. And
then the tickets present the voters
with q choice of the same ward bum,
mers made by barter In their owr
wards. The result Is that the candid
ates at large are even less competent
and trustworthy than the single ware
nominations.
Now we hope that this will be done
