AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.

This was the sentiment to which the
Hon. Grover Cleveland responded at the
Thurman banquet in Columbus, Ohio.
1t is an inspiring theme, rich in sugges-
tions Of elevated thought and ennobling
sentiment. There is no prouder title
than that OF American citizen, Citizen
ship in this republic confers upon man
greater honor and larger opportunity for
usefulness to his fellow men than citizen
ship in any other land. 1t confers rights
and powers in the exercise of which the
humblest in condition is the peer of the
most favored. 1t opens to all who re-
ceive it a pathway to public honors in the
service of the people, 1t is the badge of
sovereignty, carrying with it the high
est prerogative of authority under free
institutions. American citizenship com
prehends all that men can enjoy, under
the necessary restraints of government,
of individual rights and liberty, and far
more than is conferred by any other cit
izenship.
The occasion when Mr.. Cleveland
spoke certainly warranted him in treat
ing his theme in this spirit. 1t was in
honor of a man whose political career
has splendidly illustrated the possibili-
ties OF American citizenship, and
there were present large
number of distinguished citizens,
the records of many of whom bear like
testimony. But the ex-president did not
rise to the character of the occasion.
While Mr.. Thurman made no reference
to politics except to say that he was not
and would not be candidate for any Of
flee, Mr.. Cleveland improved the oppor-
tunity to make political speech, in
which the sentiment given him to talk
to was largely lost sight Of. He talked

A TIME FOR STUDY.

A large majority OF the members-elect
TO the next legislature of Nebraska have
no practical knowledge of law making.
Many Of them have necessarily only
very limited acquaintance with parlia-
mentary practice. 1t is safe to say that
not II few Of them have something to
learn of existing statutes, and Of the re-
quirements and limitations imposed by
the organic law upon the legislative
branch OF the government. There will
be enough men OF practical experience
in both houses to point the way to
organization and the preliminary
work necessary to put the legisla-
ture in position to do busi-
ness, but some of the men are dangerous
file leaders.
1t is notorious fact that bad leader
ship and ignorance OF legislative usage
are responsible for useless or vicious
legislation in most of the states Every
two years the responsibility Of law
making Is devolved upon men who
have no practical knowledge of such
duty, and who do not take the trouble
before entering upon it to inform them
selves as to what course they may or
must pursue. Knowing almost nothing
Of parliamentary requirements, very
little regarding existing laws. and still
less of constitutional permissions and
inhibitions, they step into the legisla-
tive arena wholly unprepared for the
work they wish to do, but pretty sure to
make themselves ridiculous and by their
stupidity obstruct and retard the course
Of business, even If they do not succeed
in getting into the statute books inn
practicable or injurious laws. The
legislation of this country bears
abundant evidence OF the ill-directed
labors of poorly-informed legislators,
some of which has worked very great
injury.
The men OF this class who have been
elected to the Nebraska legislature
should endeavor to study the manuals
and previous legislative records and fit
themselves for the great responsibility
of law makers for more than million of
people. They will doubtless be sur
prised to find, if they earnestly address
themselves to the task, how much there
is to learn, and do the best they may
something will still have to be gained
by practical experience. But we are
entirely sure that such equipment as
they may be able to obtain during the
time before the legislature convenes
they will find very serviceable in the
work that is before them, and it is an
obligation they owe to their constit-
uents

SY1ND ERDM Under

The growth and prosperity OF Omaha
during the next two years will depend
largely on the character of the men
chosen next month to manage city af-
fairs. Nine ward councilmeu will be
chosen, on whom will rest much of the
responsibility of advancing or retarding
the progress of the city.
The combine now controlling the city
council has shown itself utterly unwor-
thy ofpublic confidence or support, Ev-
cry page of it's record is stamped with
jobbery, dishonesty and venality. At
the outset it fortified itself by bestowing
lavish public favors on franchised corpo-
tions, regardless of the rights of the
people, and when it was overwhelmingly
repudiated at the polls last December it
purchased a new lease of power with
money extorted from the corporations.
1t is matter of court record that five
thousand dollars were raised to purchase
and control mercenary democrats who
bartered their manhood to place the COM
bine in control of the council and it's
principle committees.
FROM JnaU mOmenJ UaX-eaterS ana par
nacles have had free access to the city
treasury. Every effort made by
the minority to reduce ex-
penses and dispense with sine
cure officers drawing inflated salaries
was met by the solid twelve, who not
only balked every movement toward
economy, but actually multiplied Offices
| for the benefit Of the Twenty Fighters.
| The multitude of barnacles at the pub
lie crib are there solely to draw salaries
| in return for political services rendered
| to members of the combine.
The odious record of trickery and
mercenary scheming which marks the
recent history of the combine has nc
parallel in municipal affairs in the
west 1t is a succession of knavish
pretenses, high-handed recklessness and
downright rascality. If any member OF
| the combine dare seek ''vindica.
tion" at the polls, THE BEE proposes to
| drag out the skeletons in the Tammany
| closet and show the public what manner
| of men control city affairs and seek tc
fasten themselves on the public by the
cohesive power of plunder and patron

NEBRASKA AND PROHIRI1ION

New York Mercury: Nebraska voted last
Monday upon the question of constitutional
prohibition and the teetotalers mustered all
their forces and beat their drums wildly from
one end of the state to the other. On We'd
nesday they woke to find themselves buried
under 40, 600 adverse majority. The example
Of the evil effects of prohibition on the indus
tries of a state, shown in Iowa and Kansas,
warned Nebraska away from such a suicidal
course
Topeka Republican: For six months past
many enterprises in Omaha Lincoln and
other Nebraska cities were at a standstill be-
cause of a feeling of uncertainty in regard to
the outcome of the vote on the prohibitory
amendment But now, as THE BEE says,
general activity pervades all departments
of business" o. that the people of Kansas
had the business tact the broad-mindedness
OF the Nebraskans. If they had and would
manifest it by the overthrow of prohibition,
Kansas would at once bound ahead and lead
her sister state on the north.

UNITED STATES COURT.
Morning Session Devoted to Mem orial
Services to Justice Miller.


Services to Justice Miller.
In the United States court yesterday morn
ing's session was devoted to the reading OF
the memorial and resolutions on the life and
death Of Chief Justice Miller.
After this CDR" Harlowe Davis and his
wife, Lester Davis, otherwise known as
Sophia Search and "Bright Star" were ar
raigned before Judge Dundy on indictments
returned by tho grand jury, charging them
with sending obscene libellous and threaten
ing matter through the mails to Mrs. |. NJ.
Hay of Waterloo, Ia. Two indictments were
| returned against Davis and one against his
| wife. Both pleaded not guilty and were re-
| manded to Jail to await trial.
John w. Thompson of Chadron, q colored
man, was arraigned and pleaded not guilty To
an indictment charging him with selling Ii
| quor to Indians. In reply to the question of
| the court, he said he had no attorney, and
| the court told him to look around and select
| one to defend him. The prisoner created con-
siderable mcrriment by deli berately looking
| over the crowd OF lawyers present and finally
| pointing out a corpulent looking gentleman,
| who was appointed to defend him.
Moses Roberts, another coored man, pleaded
| not guilty to the same charge.
| AT the afternoon session the Helfcnstein
cases were taken up aud the attorneys for
| the defense commenced the argument on their
| objections to the documentary evidence in
| troduced by the plaintiffs attorneys. John

| the patent issued to Shields on the ground
that the city was Incorporated by the legisla-
ture in February, 1857, while the fling on
| the land was not made until the following
| September, and the entry was not perfected
| until November of the same year. The
| validity of the patent was also attacked, the
| speaker quoting the act of congress OF 1890
bearing upon the sale aud title to government
| land, to show that under the pre.emption act
| the title to the land was not vested in the
| purchaser until the money had been paid.
| At the hour Of the evening adjournment
| Mr.. Howe had not completed his argument,
| and as the court has announced that the gen.
| temen will have all the time they desire it is
| not likely that the arguments will be con-
| cluded before the middle Of next week.
While the attorneys were looking up somo
| authorities John w. Grandstaff and Joseph
| Sucha, both of Verdigre, were arraigned on
| an indictment containing two counts The
| first charged them with selling liquor at
| Wholesale without n license, and the second
charged that they failed to display their
| license for selling liquor. They were allowed
to plead guilty cas- to the first count and mot
| guilty as to the second count
