CITY GAMBLING oRp1NANcE.

The motion of Councilman Huff to
have strict gambling ordinance within
the limits of Roanoke is a stroke in the
right direction, and even if Mr.. Huif's
resolution met with no second at Mon
day nights session, the Council cannot
long delay the consideration of the
matter. There ought not to be a
lengthy seance, either, when things
shape themselves. Roanoke has reached
that period, when the somewhat excisa-
bic element of loose municipal regula-
lions, incident to a rapid growth in
population, needs to be wiped out and
the firmest possible administration of
city affairs becom es necessary.
The Northern capital, which has found
investment here is bound to be doublY
and trcbly increased when tho proper
time comes, and in spite of anything;
but if the city can justly lay claim to
being sound and orderly community
all other conditions will bs enhanced to
tho last degree. The State law is
stringent with reference to liquor and
excise affairs. and why should the city
not keep pace on the gambling ques-
ton?
The action of councils in failing to
to take up Mr. Iufs motion was due in
part to the diverse opinion of City So
licitor Miller as to the immediate ex-
pediency of Mr.. Huif's plan and in part
to a desire for further and fuller infor-
nation as 10 the present las. But
early action may be expected. If it
does not come, the II cent Flood Ross
tragedy will be followed by cmbczzle-
mants and populations OF clerks and
employees, whose salari,s are not ample
for the maws Of the tiger"

RcrrENNEss IN NEBRASKA POLITICS

THE reports which come from Omaha,
Nj bra ka, show that something of an
cxtrt mely rotten political nature exists
in the supreme bench Of tho State. If
those rep rs are to 10 believed and q
great many external circumstances
point in that direction, then all but ono
OF the judges arc charged with being
mixed up in a preconcerted arrange
ment to GUST Boyd summarily in tho
gubcrnatorial contest before the SUI
prone court ard railroad Thaycr to
the contested seat without parloy
The result OF the courts finding,
whether unanimous or not, as the
ousted candidate declares, is we'll
known, but it is an outrageous and
more than undigniicd state Of affairs
when the official acts of the highcs: tri-
bunal in a State can be accused of such
course, with so much collateral evil
dcnce to confirm the charge.
1t is of course impossible to deter
mine what disposition tho United
States Supreme Court will make of the
case, but Boyd's claims appear to have
strong basis now, if they had mono
before, and Il reversal of Judgment
would be justified rebuke to tho Ne
braska wearers OF the wool-sack.

suppressed scandals of year ago,
which was never printed with all
the names, had for it's central figure
Senator Plumb. With party of
fellow Senator'S he was playing polk
er at Chamberlain's, when he got
into a dispute with Senator Aldrich,
of Rhode Island, choking him ter
ribly. The other members of the
party intcrfered before any serious
damage was done. An agreement
between all hands, such as more re-
Gently occurred in the case of Sir
Gordon Cummings, was entered in
to, but the story was gossiped in the
cloak rooms, and was once publish
ed, though without names. Ingalls,
appears to take the ground that ii
these things are fired at Plumb per-
sistently for the next two years the
moral sentiment of Kansas will de-
mand different sort of Senator to
represent their State in Washington.

let the People Eject Them.

There seems to be a growing senti-
mont in favor of the election of
United StatesSenators by the people.
We are glad to see it. We believe
in it. We are in favor of getting as
close to the people in all things as
it is possible to do. 1t may have
been a wise thing one hundred years
ago to have Senators elected by the
State Legislatures. We say it may
have been so but we are inclined to
doubt whether it was even then the
best plan. 1t savors too much of
Observation-Disclosures of the
people. We are sure it is not good
plan now. The election OF Senators
by legislatures is not always salts
factory. The man majority of the
voters of the majority party favor
is not always elected. There are
many scandals growing out of these
elections. You frequently hear itas-
serted that poor man or man COM
paratively wealthy cannot be elect
ed; that nothing below a millionaire
can be elected. There is some truth
in the statement as TO certain States.
We notice that California is reform
ing in that particular, as in place of
Hearst, who was worth 100000, 900,
they have elected FELTON, who it is
said is only worth a half million.
This step in the right direction is
very commendable.
As we have said we are in favor of
the election of United States Sena-
tors by the direct vote of the people,
and we are in favor of changing the
so that it can be done.
Gen. Palmer has expressed himself
very strongly on this subject, and
has pledged himself to make a fight
for it in the Senate. We hope he
will succeed.

For the cure of the inflammation
and congestion called ga cold in the
head" there is more potency in
Ely's Cream Balm than in anything
else it is possible to prescribe. This
preparation has for years past been
making a brilliant success as rom
edy for cold in the head, catarrh
and hay fever. Used in the initial
stages of these complaints Cream
Balm prevents any serious develop
ment of the symptoms, while almost
numberless cases are on record of
radical cures of chronic catarrh after
all other methods of treatment have
failed.

The Philadelphia Telegraph, Re-
publican paper and an advocate of
protection, says the Mckinley tariff
"has altogether failed in its alleged
object of aiding the poor by raising
their wages. Ii however, it has
not helped the poor in that way,
neither can it be charged that it is
responsible for the very common re-
duction of wages that has occurred
since its passage. Wages are high
est when the demand for labor is
greatest, when labor itseIfis scarcest
But wages can never be high, tariff
or no tariff, il the supply of foreign
cheap labor is to be permitted to
exceed the demand.

A few days ago the winifrede
Coal Company, a Kanawha River
concern, was awarded the contract
for furnishing 100000 bushels OF
coal for the Cincinnati Water works.
Their bid was 1927 ton, against
s2.47, the lowest bid from Pittsburgh
parties. This is the entering wedge
and tho Pittsburgh operators fear
that on account of the superior adj
vantages possessed by the Kanawha
operators, they will eventually be
driven from the market.

The Legislature has at last recog-
nized the militia. The recent ses-
sion appropriated $4,000 for this
year aud tue same amount for next
year for the purpose of having an
encampmcnt of the National Guards.
This sum is small, but it insures an
encampment for this year at least,
the time and place for which will be
hereafter named. This will be good
news for those patriotic citizens who
have for years endeavored by their
time and money to keep up militia
force in this State. Time and again
they have been discouraged, but the
tardy acton of the State will put
the militia on a new footing. New
life will be infused into each compa.
ny and we will soon have two of as
good regiments of National Guards
as any State in the Union. To Gen.
eral Oxley much praise is due for the
faithful manner in which he has
labored to accomplish what has just
been done.-Lnder.

1t is said that Gov. Hill of New
York proposes to urge that the ex-
penditure of the money received
from Uncle Sam on the direct tax
account be applied to the improve
ment of the public Roads in that
State.
West Virginia gets little lump
of about slsO,000 on the same ac-
count. Would it not be well to APP
ply it to the same purpose Where
can you find worse roads than in
West Virginia?
The division of this sum, that has
come to us unexpectedly among the
counties of the State, for improving
the roads, would be putting it where
it would do the most good. We
hope Gov. Fleming will so notify
the Legislature at its next meeting.
