AMUSEMENTS,


From Sire to Son. presented at Boyd's
opera house last night, is a work of uncom-
mon merit in the line Of mclodrama, consid-
sidered with reference both to its dramatic
construction and its literary qualities. The
story is strong in human interest, and is
developed with admirable art to hold the at
tention of the audience. All Of the charac-
tiers are strongly drawn, there are fine
touches of pathos, the humorous element is
pleasing, the climaxes are wrought out
with great force, and the literary
eXcellencos are many. Altogether 1t is u
production which its author, Mr.. Milton
Mobiles, may well regard with great salts
faction. Its presentation offered nothing
for unfavOrable The Alfred Ar
mitage of Mr.. Mobiles is a strong, well-sus-
tanned impersonation, giving of course the
authors idea of his own creation, and moth
ing could be finer in its dclicacy, refinement,
and womanly chara ctcristics than the Mabel
Armitage of Mrs. Mobiles. Mr.. Howard's
Peter Griwes was quite perfect in It's way,
as also was the DR.. Mandrake of MIR. Nest
oyer, and Mr.. Alfred Hastings met every
demand of the character of Jonas Hardy.
The audience was not large, but it was eX-
ccptlOnally cordial, Mr.. Mobiles being twice
called before the curtain.

MAYOR sRoarCH Is FIRM.
The Motor Can Erect No More Poles
Sun lnN Street SCiLmrca

~ Shh''A
Mayor BrOatch was seen SUNDAY night.
relative to the order issued by him, requiring
tho police to prevent the Electric Motor
railway company from erecting poles along
the street. 1nanswcr to an inquiry as to the
nature of the ordinance under which per
mission was first granted to the company,
his honor said.
"Bcforo the telephone or telegraph com.
pauics are allowed to erect poles in tho
streets they have TO apply to Chief Galligan
for permission, in order that the wires to be
strung may hot in any way Interfere with
tho wires used by the police and fro depart
mcnts. II no is satisfied that the proposed
wires will not so interiors, u permit is granted
FOR them to be strung, and the necessary poles
erected. | understood at the time, that the
motor line wires came under the same hond,
and so granted permission for thoir erection.
At that time there was no objection raised
against them to me-, but since then such OBJ.
lection has been made a number OF
times. 1t is claimed that they will cross the
intcrsecting streets mt a height of about
twenty feet, which would interfere with
tranic, and it Is said the horse railway will
claim the same privilege along Faruam street.
IL would be as fair to grant IL to them as to
the motor company, and yet our business
streets must be protected. Other objections
were that the wires would be in the way in
case of fire, and besides that the city attorney
uutsliullS liclI IlSnl W tIctI lutW. III was
after counsultlug with him that issued tho
order against them. 1t Is only a question OF
time, however, until all the wires will have
TO go underground.
The company claim they have
the right, under the franchise granted them
by the vote of the people. The city attorney
thinks otherwise. but il they have the right,
a court will have to 50 decide before | grant
them permission 20 proceed"
Then you don't mean to rescind the order
TO the policei'
"No, it will remain in force until the
courts decide otherwise.
'By the way, there is something |
want you to say. / am gong to
put a stop TO this pre-. cmpting of the
public streets by corporations of any kind
on Sunday. | am not going to allow any
company to take advantage of "a day on
which no restraining order or injunction
can be issued by the courts or served upon
them, for the purpose of tearing up our
thoroughfares and so cvading the law. You
can say it will be stopped at once, and will
not occur again while | am in Office"

A GLANCE FOR EXPLANATION,

There are several republican politi-
cans of Nebraska who are called upon
to explain what they did with certain
sums of money during the last cam
paign, and the call is one they will
have to respond to. The statements of
THE BEE regarding the reckless use of
money by the republican state central
committee have forced from the treas
urer of the committee some highly in
teresting disclosures, which will be
found elsewhere. They can hardly fail
political circles, and to the politicians
who are involved they will carry my
thing but pleasurable sensations.
There is not q great deal to
be said respecting these disclosures,
and in any event comment must prop
erly wait until all sides are heard. AS
they now stand they certainly present
two or three politicians in a most I'M
enviable light, and unless they can give
an entirely satisfactory explanation.
which apparently will be no easy thing
TO do, they may as well put away politi-
cal ambition. AS to Mr.. Bechel, who,
il appears, made these facts public in
self-deecnse, justice requires it to be
said that the reflections which have
been cast upon him seem to have been
wholly undeserved. He appears to
have acted always by authority, and
it is not shown that he in any
case exceeded the rightful power
of his position. Chairman Richards
was evidently far less vigilant and
careful in guarding the disposal of the
funds than he should have been, but
the mar on whom nearly the full force
OF the disclosures falls is Mr.. Webster
Eaton. What he did with the seven
teen hundred dollars which the
vouchers show him to have received
will doubtless make a highly interest
ing story, if he shall conclude to tell it.
OF course Mr.. Seely will also be ex-
pccted to explain, and in view Of his
reported present ambition, he cannot
do so too quickly.

WHATEVER rights the Motor COM
pany may claim under the franchise
given to it by the vote of the people,
the rights Of the public to the streets
are paramount and superior to those OF
any corporation. The city government
is in duty bound therefore to prevent
the obstruction OF the business steeets
by the erection of poles and IN over
head system Of electric wires. The
stand taken by the mayor adds no hard
ship to o interferes with the
operation OF the motor system. The
mayor simply insists at the outset be-
fore the company has gone to the ex-
pense OF erecting a single pole or
stretching a single overhead wire that
the company must place its wires
through our business streets in under
ground conduits. His action is timely
and in the interest OF the whole city.
The motor company will hardly risk an
appeal to the courts In order to main
tain their claims. The franchise
granted did not contemplate the COM
plete surrender of our crowded streets
to any corporation.

An SUIT.

The suit brought yesterday in the
United States court, in this city, by the
Western Union Telegraph company
against the Union Pacific railroad COM
pany, setting forth that the plaintiff has
information that the defendant con-
templates violent and decisive acts in
derogation OF its telegraph contract
with the Western Union, and asking that
the defendant be enjoined from the use
Of the plaintiffs telegraph system, is i'm
portant and will attract general atten-
ton.
BY the act OF congress Of 1862,
the bond-aided railroads were re-
CURED to keep n telegraph line in
repair and use, and to give the govern
ment a preference in the use of the
same at fair and reasonable rates of
compensation, not to exceed the amounts
paid by private parties for the same
kind of service. All the roads trans
ferred the right to construct and main
tain a telegraph line to the Western
Union Telegraph company, which vas
clearly in disregard of the obligation
imposed on them by the act of 1862. But
in 1864 congress passed an act authoriz-
ing the railroad companies to enter into
an arrangement with the United States
Telegraph company $50 hat the line
of telegraph between the Mis-
souri, river and San Francisco made
upon and along the line of said road and
branches as far as said road and
branches are built" and such an ar
rangement entered into in the way pre-,
scribed was TO be "held and consid-
cred a fulfllment on the part of said
railroad companies Of the provision in
the act in regard to the construction of
telegraph lines" The Western Union
claims to have succeeded to the rights
of the United States Telegraph com
pany, and the roads have held that the
contracts made by them, transferring
their telegraph privileges to the
Western Union, are, under the
act of 1864, a fulfllment of
the requirements of the act of
1862. The question was passed upon in
q suit brought by the Western Union
against the Union Pacific and others in
the United States circuit court for the
district Of Kansas, the decision of
Judge Miller being in effect that the
act of 1864 was m~anifestly intended to
enable the bond-aided railroads to re-
lieve themselves from the obligation to
build and operate telegraph lines by
entering into arrangements with tele-
graph companies to perform their tele-
graph service.
This matter has recently received
some attention in congress, where the
right of the railroads to contract
with private corporations for tele-
graph service has been questioned, but
not until this suit was brought had
there been any intimation of a purpose
on the part Of the Union Pacific to
abandon the contract with the Western
Union. The answer of the road to the
bill of the telegraph company will be
awaited with a great deal of interest.
Meanwhile it is not unreasonably IN
ferred that the real motive of the
Western Unions action is not a fear of
hostile proceedings on the part Of the
Union Pacific, but u desire to silence
the questionings in congress regarding
the validity of it's contract with the
railroad.

THE UNION PACIFIC FUNDING BILL

THE UNION PACIFIC FUNDING BILL
The friends of the Union Pacific fund
ing bill who have been anticipating n
prompt passage of hat measure as soon
rs it could be brought before the atten-
tion of the two houses Of congress, are
likely to be disappointed. Dispatches
from Washington indicate that there
will be a more vigorous fight made
against its consideration at the present
session than at the last. Senator Plumb
has already virtually announced him
self as preparing to lead the attack in
the senate, and the a~ntl-monopoly rep
,resentatives in the house have spent
the session in gathering ammunition
with which to riddle the measure
should ii come up on special order be-
fore the recess.

attention in the public press to the fact
that since the adjournment of congress

RELIEVED OF HIS WEALTH.
Charles Finley is Robbed of $50 at
the New Casino,

Charles Finley, a Jefferson, Ia, farmer, was
robbed last night of $3.50. The perpetrator
of the job was a prostitute, and the place, one
of the wine rooms in Lew Hibben's New
Casino on Douglas street. Finley met the
woman carly in the afternoon, and after
drinking in several places Hibben's dive was
visited, where more drink was consumed.
He fell asleep and upon being awakened
about s O'Clock he discovered that all his
money was missing.
The police authorities complain that the
New Casino is becoming the resort of tho
toughest characters in the city, and that they
their instructions when trying to locate
crooks in this particular place. They not
only are denied information, but positive
obstacles are placed in their ;gay. Within

THE adjournment of the federal

turning any indictments as to the al
legged republican election frauds, is sig
niiicant. 1t indicates that the demo-
Gratis have failed to make out their case
and score the sensation which they ex-
pected. Evidently their charges of cor
ruption against Colonel w. w. Dudley,
chairman OF tho Indiana state republic
can committee, were made out of whole
cloth and have fallen fat. 1t is more
than likely, therefore, that the investi-
cation will be abandoned, and the dem

A PROJECT THAT SHOULD FAIL.


We are informed that a bill will be
introduced IN the next legislature to
| establish u medical school in connec-
ton with the state university. We
have not learned who is responsible for
this project, nor does it particularly
matter. Whoever its advocates may be,
it is a project that should not succeed.
There is no conceivable eason that
would justify attaching amedical annex
to the state university. There is no
present necessity, nor is there likely to
be in the future, for such an addition to
the university, and we have very
little doubt that to DO so would violate
the intent and purpose in establishing
that institution. 1t was designed to
give the youth Of the state, eligible to
its privileges, a comprehensive uni
versity education, but not to supply
schools for special instruction, such as a
medical school would be. 1t is a wrong
theory which assumes that it Is any
part of the duty of the state to provide
men with q special education which is
to be their source of livelihood. 1t is nc
more reasonable to ask the state to do
this than it would be to demand
that it should furnish the capt.
tai to set men up in business,
for practically this is what is done in
providing for a special education.
The truth is, Nebraska's state univer-
sity needs pruning rather than the ad-
dition of a medical or any other branch.
There is much useless teaching there
which might be dispensed with greatly
to the advantage of the institution. 1t
will be the duty of the legislature, be-
fore listening to any proposition for en-
larging the scope of the university, to
ascertain what is being done there that
is needless and measure its %appropria-
tion accordingly. We have no doubt
the expenses of the university can be
very materially reduced without in the
least impairing its usefulness.
AS to a state medical school, if such
an institution be necessary or desirable,
the medical practitioners of the state
are the proper persons to move for its
establishment, not as a branch of the
state university, but as an entirely in
dependent institution. 1t ought not to
be difficult to secure ar ample endow-
ment for such a school, and if properly
organized and conducted Oh a high
standard it would soon become self
supporting. There are many such
schools throughout the country,
and the worthiest of them
are highly successful financially.
The reasons against attaching a med
ical school to the state university, to be
another source of drain upon our al
ready overtaxed people, are conclusive,
and the Legislature will fail in duty to
the people if it entertain such a propo-
sition.

form a railroad trust to violate the in
ter-state commerce act. They are MAX
ing a rigid analysis of the Cultivate
bill and are clearly showing that in the
lien which it gives the government
upon the roads it IS more open to criti-
cism than the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Hoar in the last congress and
which was ridiculcd out of existence on
account Of the weakness OF its security.
The Lincoln & Colorado railroad
bonds, which we're issued during the
last summer, pledged the property of a
road which was built from the net earn
ings Of the subsidized Union Pa
ciic railroad and was there
fore the property Of the latter
and whose issue was consequently
at ice a violation Of the law of 1878
and OF the Thurman act which prohib-
tied a diversion of assets. 1t is also
noted that while the Union Pacific is
working TO induce congress TO accept
the proposed fifty year three per cent.
extension bonds at par, they are Offer
ing at ninety-six the bonds OF their
branch lines, which pay five per cent,
or a two per cent greater annual inter-
est.
Under the new arguments which will
be advanced against the passage of this
measure there is no fear that it will OBJ
tain favorable consideration. The peo-
pie of the west will not be heard in
congress alone through the petitions of
inconsequental boards of trade meet
ings. The question is one of national
as we'll as of local Importance, and it is
likely to be so treated at the national
capital.
