A SOUTHERN CANDIDATE,

The splendid fight that Colonel Brad
ley, republican candidate for governor
of Kentucky, is making has attracted
attention to him as an able, aggressive
and fearless leader. His republicanism
is thorough and his advocacy of the
principles of the party is strong and
uncompromising. If he should be
elected, as now seems not improbable,
it would certainly give him Il con
spicuOus place among national re-
publican leaders, but hardly the fore
most place, as suggested by the Phila-
delphia Times. That paper recently
said that in the event of Colonel Brad
ley's election he would be the most
formidable candidate for the presidency
of all the men named. "With Colonel
Bradley elected governor of Kentucky
and the next to certainty of his carrying
Kentucky and Tennessee in the national
contest of 1896 if nominated for pres-
dent" declared the Times, she would
be made the candidate of the republican
party by the ineXorable logic of events.
He would be the cleanest and in all
could excel him in any of the impor-
tant attributes of chief magistrate
for the greatest government OF the
| EARTH" Doubtless this estimate of the
Kentucky republican leader is merited
and coming from Colonel Mcclure, the
able editor of the Times, it certainly
has high authority.

north as would any of the distinguished
leaders who are most thought of as

PROTEST or THE WOOL GROWERS
There VIII be an earnest. though Of
course futile, effort made In the next
congress to restore wool TO the dutiable
list. This is Indicated by the recent
action of the Ohio Wool Growers as
sociation and by the assurances of west
ern members of congress. The protest
against free wool issued by the Ohio
association declares that the democratic
policy has in one year reduced the
value of sheep and wool S15000,000,
and this is probably very conserva-
tive statement Free wool has cost the
sheep raisers of California, Oregon,
Montana. Utah and other western states
and territories many millions of dollars
and inflicted most damaging blow to
this very important industry. Conse-
quently there is not republican sena-
tor or representative from these states
who will not put forth his strongest
effort to have wool restored to the du-
table list, both to prevent the decadence
of the wool industry and because the
revenue is needed. There will be no
uiLhCully Ill ptSSlHS II Dlll lOr lDlS pur-
pose through the house and it is pos
sible that one might get through the
senate, but it is absolutely certain that
it would be killed by the executive
veto. In the view of Mr.. Cleveland
free wool is the cardinal feature of the
tariff reform scheme and it Is about
the only thing in the present law which
he approves. 1t will therefore remain
during the present administration, re
gardless of any facts which may be
presented to show its damaging effects
upon one of the most important ma
tional industries, for which there are
no compensating benefits. The wool
growers are fully justified in issuing
their protest and it will have n good
effect upon the public mind, but they
need not hope for any practical result
until the republican party is again in
control of the government.

The demand of the letter carriers that con-
gress shall provide pensions for carriers in
jured in the service and shall also retire car
riers on half pay after twenty years of
service, but that the fund to provide the
pension and half-pay, shall be raised by de-
ducting per cent from the salaries of active
carriers and l per cent from the pay of re-
tired carriers is, in effect, a proposal that
the carriers shall be allowed to pension them
selves. The proposition places the govern
ment in the attitude of the benevolent
Frenchman who allowed his cat to eat all
the mice she could catch III many countries
civil service pensions are paid by the govern
ment On the ground that the man who serves
the state faithfully in a civil capacity de-
serves recognition for the same reason that
the faithfuness of the states soldier or sailor
is recognized. 1t would seem from the action
of the letter carriers that they do not believe
that the people of this country are willing
that the disabled and old from the letter car
riers' ranks shall be pensioned directly from
the governments treasury, and so propose to
provide sinking fund.- of their own. They
may be correct to the present attitude OF
the people in regard to civil service pension
and retired list, but if ever the people do con-
clude that any class of civil public servants
shall be put on such a list the letter carriers

General Miles Sends nn Expert to EN-

WASHINGTON, Sept 9.-General Miles,
commanding the Department Of the East, is
taking active steps to secure for the use Of
the army accurate information as to the
condition of all roads between large centers
of population or places of strategic i'm
portance in his department which might be
required for the movement Of troops in an
emergency involving the incapaclty of the
railroads. Since the expansion of the rail-
read service these natural arteries of COM
munication generally have been suffered to
fall into bad condition and 1t is the purpose
of General Miles to do everything possible
to better this state of affairs.
Admitting that the old road charts are now
of little service the information desired is
being collected by officers detailed for the
purpose and the bicycle will be the means
of transportation used On Wednesday First
Lieutenant G. w. Stevens, First artillery,
left New York on a wheel for Washington.
He found the road as far as Philadelphia in

city from New York in seven hours and
twenty-five minutes. After spending day
and half in Philadelphia looking over the
maps he started south. The road from
Philadelphia to Baltimore was found to be
very bad and owing to the heavy rains good
time could not be made. Between Baltimore
and Washington again the road was good.

ExPED1rE THE CRIMINAL TRIALS

Without desiring to meddle with the
administration of Justice The Bee deems
it proper to urge the more expeditions
trial of criminals who are now confined
in our jail on charges of fe,onies and
misdemeanors ranging from larceny to
murder. With only one judge to hear
and preside over all the criminal cases
on the overburdened docket it will take
weeks and months to dispose of the
pending murder cases alone, and the
whole term will expire before the ma
jority of the lesser offenders can be
brought into court.
Under the constitution of Nebraska
every person charged with crime is en-
titled to Il fair and speedy trial. To
keep men unnecessarily confined in
jails for months and sometimes years
awaiting action of the courts because
they happen to be charged with offenses
that are not balable or because they
are unable to procure the requisite bail
bonds is Il species of barbarism that
should not be tolerated in civilized com
munities. The detention of persons
cHdTSeu Will CTliHe lOLScE tHdH is dDSU-
lutely necessary imposes upon the tax
payers the burden of paying for their
care and maintenance. When the Jail
is Overcrowded inoffensiye men and
women, accused of trivial offenses, are
herded together with the most hardened
class of criminals. This congested con
dition of the Jail also becomes Il menace
to the health of inmates, as we'll as of
their custOdians.
1t would seem to us, therefore, that
the assignment of Il second judge to
expedite the clearing of the criminal
docket is demanded in the interest both
of economy and of humane treatment.
Quit apart from all these considerations
it is serious question whether i'm
partial justice can be obtained so long
ningham r. Scott holds the lives and
liberties of prisoners in his control.
Trials in the criminal division of our
district court under this judge have
been travesties on justice and in many
instances high-handed usurpations of
crime on the other.
The other six judges on the district
bench owe it to themselves as well as
to the taxpayers and to the persons
held in custody awaiting trial to give
that measure of relief from needless
expense and judicial tyranny and favor
itism that lies within their power.
