Il WHITnWISH.

The Ketcham Furniture company and
certain members of the council have
been whitewashed by the council. This
action will not be accepted by the citi-
zens of Omaha as n vindication of the
boodler gang. The report is contrary
in nearly every particular to the only
reasonable conclusions to be deduced
from the evidence presented. The ma
jority report is a disgrace to the mem
bers signing it, a reflection Upon the
sincerity and honesty of tho council
men voting to adopt it and an
insult to the Intelligence of Il
community familiar with the facts
established by the inquiry.
The minority report is u fair and cor
rect finding of the facts from the evil
dence presented. 1t is logical and in
accord with the verdict which the peo-
pie of Omaha had returned in their own
minds. The recommendation that the
district judges be requested to call II
grand jury to carefully inquire into the
instances of alleged bribery brought out
in the Investigation should have been
adopted. The further recommendation
that the contract be Cancelled and pro-
posals be again advertised for shoul d
have been unanimously agreed to.
The councilmen whose regulations
have been assailed in the course of this
Investigation had no moral or legal right
to vote upon the findings of the commit
tee. They should blush with shame for
voting to whitewash their own charac-
ters.
If anything was settled by the late
election it was the fact that the people
of Omaha are opposed to Doodle and
that they believed the Ketcham furni-
ture contract was tainted by corruption.

Of the utter worthlessness of the Foster

silence virtually admits the charge that

tion in other states. The Standard Oil

Chicago News: That such a man should
acquire fame and amass a comfortable

Or all the brothers, all noted, Cyrus was the

presumed to govern a moral world, he should
be passing away in wealth, glory and honor.
