THE BROKEN SPOKANE BANK.
Government Had SCI, 900 OF Deposit
Petitions For Receiver.

WAsHISGroS CRY, Dec. 19.-[Special. r
Several requests have been received from
Spokane Falls for a receiver for the Spos
kane National band. Comptroller Lacy
says he will not appoint any one until after
full investigation. He said he would ap-
point no one who is in any way interested
in the affairs of the bank, and probably no
resident of Spokane Falls.
In the Spokane National bank at Spo-
kane Falls, recently suspended, the gov
eminent had something over $21, 900 on
deposit. OF this, $4,000 was credited to
the Indian land Office fund.

TRIED no KILE HER MOTHER.
A Hayward Young Girl Doses the Tea
with Poison,

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 25.--TSpecia
Telegram to THE BEE. miss Nellie Fish, a
siXteen-y -year-o!d girl, is in Jail in this city
charged with a serious crime. She made three
deliberate attempts to poison her mother by
putting rough on rats in her tea. The case
unfolds startling story. The girl has
always been wayward and hard to keep in
bounds, and has several times run away
from home. Last week she put poison in her
mothers tea. The first time it made her
sick and the second time she was taken with
a severe fit of vomiting.
The last time Sine put poison in the tea her
mother became suspicious and had doctor
examine the food which she had eaten. The
examination resulted in the finding of a
quantity OF poison in half filed cup of tea
Suspicion pointed to the girl, and when ac-
cused she admitted that she had done it Just
FORUM. She was arrested and locked up.
About month ago a girl named Sarah
Ellis, niece Of Mrs. Fish, who resided with
them and who was appointed postmistress of
West Cheshire a short time ago, died after a
brief sickness, 1t is now generally supposed
that the girl died from the effects of poison
administered by the Fish girl Her body
will be exhumed, and an examination made
Her reason for administering the poison Is
that her mother would not let her out when
she liked.

RAILROADS AND pOT,TTJcS

Right on the heels of C. p. Hunting
tons decision to take the Southern Pa
cific railroad company out of politics
comes the press OF Iowa with photolitho-
graphed fac-similes of letters from poll
ticians to railroad men and from rail
road men to politicians, forcing the rail-
roads of the state into Iowa politics, and
compromising, in round-about-way,
one of the candidates on the republican
ticket 1t is unfortunate for the rail
roads that they are thus kept in poll
tics against their wishes and better iudg-
ment, and it very often proves un-
fortunate to aspirants to office. In this
case, however, the cand ldate marked for
injury may not suffer greatly, inasmuch
as the letters printed are somthing over
two years old and were wri item in the
heat of a spirited contest for tho nomi.
nation of railroad commissioner, and in
asmuch, too, as one of the letter writer's
is prominent democrat and one a prom
inent republican. The correspondence
was conducted with view of effecting
a combination in the convention that
would secure the nomination of rail-
road man for railroad commissioner, and
the nomination of General Beeson for
state treasurer. The slate didn't win:
both Lawrence and Beeson were beaten,
but the latter was nominated for state
treasurer this year by acclamation, and
the railways kept their hands and influ-
ence out of the convention. The rail-
roads are not in politics very deep in
Iowa nowadays. Like Huntington, they
have wisely concluded to withdraw.

RTR THE WIRES.

The right of the city to compel cleo
trio light companies to adopt the UNDER
ground system is specifically reserved in
all ordinances granting such companies
the privilege OF operating in the city.
In 1882 the first ordinance was passed
granting the Northwestern Electric
Light and Power company a charter.
Section two provided that the rights
thus granted ''are given subject to the
right of the city at any time, after the
general adoption of the underground
system, to order by ordinance
said company to remove all its poles,
wires and erections in the public streets
and places of the city, and in case such
order is not complied with in a reason
able time, to cause the same to be re-
moved D"
Two years later charter was granted
to the Sperry Electric Light and Motor
company, the city reserving in like
terms the right to abolish the overhead
system. Both companies we're absorbed
by the present company, the Thompson
q Houston, the charter of which is even
more explicit in defining the rights of
the city. Section one says And when
ever the city council shall by ordinance
declare the necessity of removing from
the public streets and alleys of the city
of Omaha the telegraph, telephone or
electric light poles or wires thereon, con-
structed or existing, said company shall
within sixty days from the passage of
such ordinance remove all poles and
and wires from such streets and alleys"
1t will be seen that the amalgamation
OF the older companies by the present one
did not disturb the rights of the city.
In accepting and operating under
these ordinances, the company is subject
to the will OF the council. On the coun-
Gil, therefore, rests the responsibility of
ridding the city of the deadly overhead
wires. They are not only a menace to
life and property, but are a positive
damage to the appearance of the city,
an inconvenience and an eyesore to mer-
chants and residents, and a dangerous
obstruction to the fire department.
Neither the council or company can
plead that the underground system is in
an experimental stage. 1t is in success
full operation in Chicago, New York and
other large cities. Omaha must follow
their example. Now that the telephone
company has decided to adopt that sys-
TEN, the council should exercise its
power to compel the electric companies
to do likewise. Public safety demands
the burial of the deadly wires.

the best interests of our own people.
Perhaps majority of our citizens doubt
that it Is. But II Is not n matter in the
arrangement of which we are called
upon to consult the opinions or wishes of
Europeans.
So far as commercial retaliation is
concerned, ii Is game that Europe can
hardly afford to play. The continental
countries cannot carry the exclusion of
American products farther than at pres
ent, or materially yincrease their tariffs on
such products, without very greatly ag-
gravating the distress among their own
people. They cannot safely adopt n
course that would result in advancing
the price of bread, as the policy regard
ing American pork has resulted in in
creasing the cost of meats. The wise
understand that this would be a most
dangerous proceeding, almost certain to
produce consequences of very grave
and serious nature to most OF those gov
crnments. The social and economic
situation in Europe is now SO discourag-
ing to the masses that it is with diili-
Guilty they are kept quiet. Make it
harder for them to obtain the necessaries
of life and no European government is
strong enough to Withstand the popular
revolt that would follow. Two years of
non-intercourse with the United States
would put an end to the present form of
government in more than one European
nation. The talk of commercial retalia-

THE prospect of an early extension Of
the fire limits causes commotion among
the builders of fire traps. A glance at
the record of building permits show un-
usual activity among property owners
on business thoroughfares, Thursdays
list contains four applications for frame
tinder boxes to be erected on South Six
teenth street, thoroughfare rapidly
developing in business Importance. A
number of substantial brick blocks have
been erected on this street by enterpris-
ing property owners, In justice to them
as well as for the safety and solidity of
the city, the council should promptly ex-
tend the fire limits. What is true of
South Sixteenth street applies with
equal force to the north end, and to
Cunning, Farnam, Leavenworth and
other growing business streets.

JUDGE DoANE's methods of disposing
obligation barnacles are commendable
Hundreds of causes are carried into the
district court for the sole purpose of TAX
ing advantage of the delay in reaching
trial and wearing out an opponent. 1t
now requires from one to two years after
filing for a suit to reach trial, and
lawyers and their clients, with ew rare
exceptions, can offer no valid excuse for
not proceeding with the case when
called. The example OF Judge Doane
commends itself to all members of the
court. The docket should be cleared of
musty causes, not alone as a relief to the
court and taxpayers, but to expedite a
legal settlement of issues which both
plaintiff and defendant demand. Judge
Doanes policy, if rigidly carried out,
will materially discourage triaing APP
peals from lower courts.

THE anthracite coal barons are at it
again. AT meeting of the eastern end
OF the combine in New York, the west
ern section was instructed TO advance
prices beginning October /. OF all the
trusts in existence the coal is the most
rapacious. Not only does it grind its
employees to n condition little short of
slavery, but it preys upon the necessities
oi the people of the north. The near
approach OF winter is sufficient excuse
for this greedy combination to put up
prices and force its victims to increase
Its ill-gotton wealth. In a majority of
the trusts some feature is to be found
mitigating their grasping greed. The
coal trust is without single commend

mine and ends with the consumer A

THE TiRIFF BILL IN EUROpE

There continue to be threats OF COM
mercial retaliation by the governments
OF continental Europe in the event of the
passage of the tariff bill now in confer.
ence, and it is undoubtedly true that the
statesmen, merchants and manufacturers
Of Germany, France and other conti-
mental countries are very greatly dis
turbed over this measure But that
there will be any serious effort on the
part of any of these countries singly, or
all Of them by combination, to put into
effect policy of retaliation, is not at all
probable. The countries which are
manifesting the greatest concern in this
matter are protectionist countries, and
in making their tariffs they showed no
consideration for the interests of the
producers Of the United States. Ger
many and France excluded American
hog products and have steadily
refused to remove or modify
the prohibitory regulation, al
though its injustice has been
most clearly pointed out by our min is
ters and the injury being doue to their
own people is we'll known. Under the
circumstances the complaint of these
countries against the proposed tariff OF
this country comes with ill-grace. What
is proposed may not be altogether wise
and expedient from the point of view OF
