THE wIsE.H UsrON COMMITTEE.

The State Executive Committee Of the
Wise Houston faction Of the Republican
party of Virginia met, as per previous
announcement, In this city yesterday.
The object of the meeting was 10 con-
slider the proposition recently made by
Malone in his correspondence with
Colonel D. f. Houston, chairman of the
Wise men or "kickers," to Withdraw the
electoral tickets of both factions at pres
ent in the field, and submit the claims Of
the party to conventions in each con-
gressional district of the State, which
conventions are To choose an entirely
new electoral ticket.
II was generally expected that this
committee would surrender at discretion
to Malone, agree TO his terms, and yield
up all opposition to his rule as gracefully
a. they might. 1t seems, however, that
such was not the case. After prolonged
discussion Il was decided to agree to the
proposition of the little boss only on GER
tain conditions, and these were that the
National Executive Committee should
zee TO 1t that the district conventions
were fairly constituted and not packed in
the interest of Malone.
This proposition OF the Wise-Houston'
ties is entirely impracticable. The Ma
tional Committee has nothing whatever
to do with the election Of district dele
gates In this or any other State, and even
II they had, they will probably have their
hands too full OF work trying to elect
Harrison 10 be able to turn
their attention so completely and entirely
TO the management of the internal affairs
of the Republican partyin Virginia. No
doubt Mr.. Quay and his committee will
80 decide, and in that event the Wise.
Houston conference will be another in
stance of the mountains being In labor
and bringing forth a ridiculous mouse.
1t may be, however, that the committee
know this and merely adopted these reso-
lutions az pretsxt for retiring from q
contest with Malone, which they must
feel is hopeless. No matter what tho
outcome may DO It 10 very certain that the
little Petersburg boss will pay no
more attention 70 the Wise Houstonites In
the future than he has In the past. He
knows that he has by far the bulk OF the
Republican votes of the State In his
breeches pockets. and that he Is per-
fectly independent. Whether they will
sulk In their tents or wheth.
or they WIN finally throw up
the sponge, and unconditionally surren-
der remains to be seen. II looks now very
much u II they were eudssvoring to pave
the way for just some such action. while
keeping up the appearance Of continued
opposition.

This Association ls about 10 hold liz
first annual meeting Ut Cleveland, and
q number Of subjects OF importance to
all the States Of the Union will come up
before II for consideration. The most
prominent among those that are msn-
toned are efforts to promote the unif's
ton Of the laws Of the several States on
subjects In which their people have a
Common interest. such a. those relating
10 marriage and divorce, the settlement
OF estates, the extradition Of criminals,
negotiable paper. etc.
These matters all strictly belong 10 the
legislation OF the States exclusively, and
~ uniformity in regard TO them Is very
important. the Bar Association will do
good work If 1t effects such result. 1t
Ia well said that perhaps nothing has
csused more serious troubles and cast
more scandal upon the administration of
law than the differences which exist in
the provisions Of the various States on
the aubject of marriage and divorce.
This Is q conspicuous instance In which
there ought to be unifcstion Of Slate
laws.
10 necessary is 1t that on this subject
especially there should be thorough I'M
derstanding between the States, that 1t
has been urged that the Federal Congress
should take charge OF all Legislation
bearing upon It and kindred matters.
That would, however, he move 81
doubtful consiitutionality, and certainly it
would be dangerous step in the direc-
ton OF Capitalization with which the
country is too seriously menaced already.
II will be far better for all these evils TO
be remedied by tine National Bar Associ-
ton, which has a vast amount Of work
mapped out, and which. ii is hoped, will
effect many needed reforms.

There seems to be a general misunder-
standing among the parties interested at
Lake Manawa regarding the proposed i'm
provements at that place. Each one seems
to think that everyone else is waiting for him
to go ahead and do 1t all at his own expense,
and this is why nothing is being done. When
talked with individually, these parties evince
a willingness to do their part in the matter,
and there seems TO be no good reason why
the work can not be carried out as planned
some time ago. The committee appointed to

"We commenced work two years ago, and
If our subscribers would only pay up, our
new building would be completed and fur
nished in less than two MONTHS said a Y
M. G. A.. official to a BEE reporter. "But
they are no doubt doing the best they can,
and we keep spending the money as fast as
it comes IN. We don't want to
get into debt over it. BY the
time we move into 1t, it will have
cost $40, 600 for the building and ground, and
SO, 900 for the furniture and gymnasium
equipment-the latter costing s., 900. The
ground floor will be rented, and will prob
ably bring in an income of SIC, 900 per annum,
and then we will make a push to run the
membership up to 900 which will make us
float financially easy"
The reporter looked over the site of the
proposed attraction for members, and found
that the second floor is devoted to the recep-
ton room, library, small lecture room, offices
and directors parlor. The third floor will
contain the large lecture and committee
rooms, the gymnasium and baths. The fourth

" A
Commissioners.
The county commissioners have been look
ing after the grades of some of the roads in
the southern part of the city during this sum
mer and at present a large amount Of cutting
and filling is going on.
Twentieth street is being graded south
from the end of the city grade to it's intersec-
ton with N street and Missouri avenue.
This is being done to give the people resid-
ing east of South Omaha an opportunity to
reach South Omaha by Missouri ave-
nue. and N street, q distance
of one or two miles rather
than be compelled to come up Thirteenth
street to Vinton street and then down by the
old road.
The country through which these streets
had TO be cut consisted of drains and banks
so steep that some fills from fifty TO seventy
five feet are being made and some deep cuts
also have to be made. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 cubic yards of earth will have TO be
moved to make the county's part of the drive
way. The remaining portion of the Tween.
tieth street grade is being made by the city
and the South Omaha land syndicate.
The expense of the street TO the county will
be about $500

Saloon Men Must Paw.

Since his return from Missouri, Mayor
Rohrer is greatly refreshed, and proposes to
wade into the saloon war with both feet.
The saloon men have successfully evaded the
payment of one months fine, and expect to
do the same with the next one, but the mayor
will not have it so. The saloonists went to
sleep about a month ago, and slumbered
peacefully until after their fines were due.
The mayor was absent, and the city marshal,
whose duty it was to see to the collection of
the fines, did not possess the necessary nerve
to enforce their payment. In fact, this exem-
plary 60 official maintains that the saloon
the temperance folks make it hot enough
for them" In various ways he wiggles and
twists to avoid the necessity of collecting the
fines. and now the mayor is compelled to add
this work to the already onerous duties of
the chief of police. But this capable officer,
whose work keeps him busy from sixteen to
twenty hours a day, will attend to the matter
faithfully, and If the fines are not paid the
saloons will be closed "too quick"
Some of the saloon men are beginning to
realize what is coming, and are paying their
fines to escape the impending trouble. 1t is
immaterial to the chief of police whether or
not he is summoned as a witness before the
district court to testify in a liquor case, but
the marshal could not stand the bluff that
was made, and the serving of one subpoena
was all that was necessary to effectually
squelch all of his usefulness, so far as col
lecting liquor fines is concerned.
