WHY HE VETOED.
The Mayors Reasons for Disap-
proving Of an Engine House.

The Mayors Reasons for Disap-
proving Of an Engine House.
The reasons for the mayors veto of
the resolution providing for the pur-
chase of an engine house lot in the
Twelfth ward are two in number.
First. an engine house, in the mayors
opinion, is not needed in that locality
and secondly, the mayor suspects that
there is something irregular about the
abstract of title to the lot, in that it does
not show that A. Adams, whom the
resolution names as the man of whom
the city would pur chase. Is the owner.
The title is in M r. Foss. so the mayor
claims. As far as the necessity for all
engine house on the proposed site, viz:
Lake street and Mlnnehaba avenue, the
mayor says that the total number of
runs which would have been made from
this place would have amounted to only
twenty in the past wear.

THE PROFESSIONAL JUROR.

The court house is freQuented by the

Courts Dickey to put them on jury.
Judge ia mison had this to say yester-

Some of them are good men and make
good, honest jurors, but the large mas S

the justice of the case, If they can onl Y

cases. ana make some recommendations
regarding the length of time and the FREE

The Rapid Changes on the Omaha

The passenger conductors on the
Omaha road are at loss just now to
know where they are "at." During the
past few days there have been great
many changes as to the runs,
and even the oldest men on
the road. some of whom have been
Ill the service for twenty years, have
been taken from their routes and
whisked, at an hours notice, TO all Sec
lions of the country. The steady old
conductors who have been on the main
division, which runs TO Eirny, have
Geen sent to Duluth. Sioux City and
other points, and, in fact, no man
knows where he will be next.
All of this has made the veteran ''cons''
feel ratified and weary, and they have
that tired feeling which comes with un-
certainty. The query arises, where is
the thing going 10 stop?

Strangely enough. after all the debating
which has been done over our Chinese troubles
there are evidently a great many Americans
who do not seem TO have anything like a rea-
sonable comprehension of the primary pur-
poses OF the Geary law. The intent of that
legislation was not the deportation of Chinese
Residents, but a strict enforcement of laws that
had been on our statute books for wears. With
an insufficient force at its command. the Treas
ury Department had failed to combat
successfully against the financial power
and lsv-breaking shrewdness OF the Six
Companies, who, assisted by the complaisant
authorities III British Columbia. were
aiding thousands of Cinnamon who desired adj
mission 10 the United States. The certificate
issued to one celestial was used BIZ a hundred

Following SO closely after the presid entail
declaration of independence as to ofice-seekers
the decision Of the Supreme Court on the con-
stitutionality of the Geary Anti Chinese law is
indeed terrific blow at those young men who
had come to the conclusion that they were
prominent and that their active efforts in be-

The latest Of the many reports concerning
Secretary Carlisle as a spokesman and official
executioner alleges that he has a black list,
marked for dismissal. Of clerks who have failed
to go homo to vote. Failure to vote
is the alleged sole ground of dismissal,
and not partisan leanings or ineficiency.
The republican clerk is, it is said. to be dis
missed because he did not go home to vote the
republican ticket, just as the democrat is to be
elected for not going home to vote the demo-
crat ticket. Secretary Carlisle" it is said,
respects republican or a democrat. but he
has no use for a man who claims no allegiance
to either party"
1t is impossible that this report can be true.
Secretary Carlisle must have a wicked partner,
a sort of Mr.. Hyde double, to be credited SO
frequently with acts and intentions which he
must deny.
The administration Of which Secretary
Carlisle is fractional component is COM
mitted to the wise principle that the bulk of
Uncle Sans work is to be done by
those available who are best fitted for
it, that Uncle Sam is as much en-
titled as private individual to get
the most effective labor for his money, and
that merit and efficiency, displacing partisan
and political considerations the test of Office
holding. accomplish the best results both for
the government and for the employees.
In accordance with the spirit and policy OF
the administration of which he is part Secre-
tary Carlisle,is employed by Uncle Sam on ac-
count Of special fitness. to attend to the
nations financial concerns. His subordi-
mates, especially those in the classified service.
are in theory to be tested by the
same requirement Of fitness. In the view of
the merit system, which is the law, it is none Of
the Secretary's business what the political opin
ions OF clerk in the classified service may
be, or how inactive he may have been
in political affairs. The clerks are protected
by the criminal law against compulsory politi-
cal assessments. 1t is in violation Of the spirit
dismissal an annual exodus of clerks for
voting purposes, which would demoralize the
working force Of the government, impair the
efficiency Of the public service and inevitably
inject into Office holding partisan and political
considerations.
Every American citizen entitled to the priv
iege ought to vote. and ought to be encour-
aged to vote. The legislation Of some Of
the states tending toward the disfranchise-
ment of ofhce-holding citizens at Washington
is to be vigorously condemned But neither
the fact of voting nor the fact Of voting in
particular way is wise test Of fitness to do
work for the government.
