Their Blood on Gould's Head.
a, Al.

1t is greatly to be regretted that life should
have been lost in the work of tearing away
the unslghtly poles and wires that line the
streets of New York; yet the lesson of the
Sixth avenue accident will not be barren of
good results, since the men will be taught to
exercise greater care in handling the danger
GUS stuff. The responsibility for the fatal
casualty must be laid at the doors of the tee-
graph and electric lighting companies, who
should have removed the poles long ago.

A Senatorisi Committee md War De.
Dnrtment OhiciaIs Coming


Mayor Broatch received a letter yesterday
from Senator Henderson informing him that
the senate committee "on our relations with
Canada" will arrive in Omaha about 0 O'Clock
a. m. May 4, and remain all day. He asks
that proper arrangements be made to enter
tain them. Senators Hoar, Hale, Allison,
Dolph, Pugh, Butler and Voorhees,
compose the committee. They will be
accompanied by their wives, and force of
clerks, making fifteen people in the party.
The senator also gives notice that on tho 18th
of May the secretary of war will be here, ac-
companied by Generals Schofeld, Crook
nent army officials. He suggests that, they
too, should receive the recognition
and attention due them. Mayor Broatch
said he had laid these matters before the
Omaha and Union clubsg with intimatlons
that they ought to take them up and do the
right thing. 1t is his opinion that the Oma-
ha club should entertain the senate party and
lei the Union club take care of the dis
tinguished military Visitors.

CHAIRMAN BALCoMBE complains that
the salaries of inspectors are not suffi-
cient TO command the best class OF m e.
chanics. If the amount were double
tho city would still be afflicted with
men whose chief qualification is polit-
ical influence. The city council, how
ever, should provide for the payment
of inspectors monthly. 1t is great
wrong to compel employees to work
three to six months without pay. In
many instances it places them under
obligations to contractors for pecuniary
faYors. which must necessarily be detri-
mental TO the interests OF the city.

WHY HE VAS DEFEATED.


When George w. Lininger was uomi-
mated by the republicans for mayor Of
Omaha, reaublicans congratulated
themselves that they had a clean, cap
able man as their standard bearer. A
successful, .enterprising and shrewd
business man, honorable aud upright in
all his dealings and thoroughly identi-
fed with Omaha's material welfare.
Mr.. Lininger was the mar above others
%eminently fitted for the position of
mayor. His defeat by n decisive ma
jority is by no means due entirely to
the treachery of Mayor Broatch and his
camp-followers. Mr.. Lininger could
and would have been elected in spite of
these distinguished ward heelers
had 1T not been for sub
tie influences that will presently
manifest themselves to the detriment of
Omaha. Mr.. Llninger is above all
things an honest man and cannot be
handled by jobbers or corporate mo-
nopolies. He is as fearless as he is in
corruptible, and would have been an i'm
passable barrier against the pillage of
the treasury'o Or the rapacity of cormor-
ants who fastcn their fangs upon the
city In any shape, name or form.
Mr.. Cushing is not known to be that
sort of a man.. He always has been In
timately associated with corporate mo-
nopolies and in partnership in private
enterprises with the general manager
OF the Burlington road. And this ex-
plains the detection in the upper
wards, notably the Fourth and Seventh.
Mr.. Lininger had pitted against him
the Burlington bank, Of which Gushing
is director, and the Burlington road
officials, with Charlie. Green as chief
manipulation. He had against him Jay
Gould's Missouri Pacific, with Frank
Hanlon as political scuttler, and the
Pacific Express, in which the Gould in
terest predominates. He was offensive
to John M. Thurston personally and to
all who train with him. These people
DRAFTED about law and order and
Cushing's platform, but way down deep
they wanted a mayor who will be plant
and ready to do their bidding. A little
reflection over these stubborn facts
may open the eyes OF our business men
and taxpayers

Suffers Fort % he Obliteratcd.

An order has been passed by the
trustees of this city, which il carried
into effect, as VT believe il will be, will
work the demolition OF all that romans
OF the buildings that once stood within
the palisades of Suffers Fort, saws the
sacramento Cali Record-Union. The
order directs that the streets be openeU
through the property. Not only will
the last remaining relic of the historic
spot be thus oblitcrated, since II street
line u through it, but the plat will be
DIVIDED into small parcels and
its identity lost to history and to
human interest. The owner of the
property is Il nonresident OF the
city. he derives no rental from it, un-
less a meugrc pasturago pays him II
small sum, and he will not sell to those
who wish to restore the fort and con
vert h pla into n park, II all appeals
TO the owner fail, if he remains deaf to
the hundreds OF requests that have been
made, and still refuses to name his
price, We propose, when the streets are
cut through, that ut the intersection of
the highways there shall be planted IA
simple enduring tone to mark the spot
where John y. Suffer raised the Amer
lean flag and gave shelter to the early
pioneers OF California. And that on
the stone there be inscribed the fact
that a certain citizen of Chicago-nam-
ing him-stubbornly refused to sell the
historic spot to the people for n reserve
at any price.

An BILL.

1t is noteworthy that the first meas
ure introduced in the senate at the
present session of congress is directed
against trusts. This bill was introduced
by Senator Sherman, and is said to be
identical with the one he reported last
year from the committee on finance.
1t declares all trusts unlawful and the
officers of such combinations guilty OF
mIsdemeanor. When this measure was
presented last year it received some
unfavorable comment, as not being
sufficiently comprehensive and as leav-
ing loopholes through which it might
be evaded. There will now be ample
time to give it q very thorough consid-
Grafton and correct the faults and
strengthen the weak points, if there
be any.
This early Introduction Of an anti
trust bill is significant Of a purpose on
the part of the majority in congress to
take hold of this matter in earnest.
The last congress dallied with it
because neither party was dis
posed to take the RESPONSE
bility Of Legislation upon it.. Had the
republican senate passed the Sherman
bill there was no Likelihood that the
democratic house would have done SO,
and any measure originating in the
latter would in all probability have
failed in the senate. Both parties we're
pledged to deal with this question in a
practical way, but while they investi-
gated and talked there was no action.
The republicans having now the con-
troll of both houses are in a position to
carry out the party pledges to give the
people protection against trusts, and
Senator Sherman's Introduction of a bill
for this purpose, thus early in the ses-
sion, may be accepted as assurance that
there will be national Legislation on
this subject before the present session
Of congress terminates. Meanwhile the
warning may have a salutary effect in
not only preventing further trust Or
CARNATIONS but in causing those in ex-
istence to change their character and
methods.

The first steps in that direction have

pected to join. There is little doubt
that the union will strengthen and

FOR THE SUPREME BENCH.

Eoks fbLG CI cJT II.
The nomination of Judge Brewer to
the vacancy on the bench Of the supreme
court OF the United States will be re-
ceived with very general approval,
particularly in the west. There was u
great pressure brought to bear upon the

nection with the appointment to this
vacancy. Ohio came forward promptly
with several candidates, and persistently
urged her prior claim to consideration
on the ground that tho late Justice

The presidents own state had at least
one candidate, Judge Woods, whose
chances were for a time regarded as
being extremely good. Michigan pre-
sented one or two candidates who we're

n whom it vas thought IA week or two
ago was the most likely to be chosen.
Judge Brewer had been little talked of
for the position, and in resisting the
strong pressure for others and selecting
him the president has shown a proper
recognition Of distinguished judicial
service.
Judge Brewer is circuit Judge OF the
Eighth judicial circuit, which includes
the districts of Minnesota, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Arkansas, Nebraska and
Colorado, and was appointed in 1884.
His judicial career has made him
known as one OF the ablest ~jurists in the
