Omaha daily bee., 1895-11-25

West Point Progress: Rosewater was COM
I, pletely routed In the Omaha campaign, but he
lie so far from being corpse, as the dervishes
viii shortly discover.
Stanton Picket: For years The Bee has
advocated a union depot and for once II Is
not opposed by the worid-Hcrald. The mil
lennium In newspaper sense has arrived in
Omaha.
Kearney New Era: Russell and Churchill
have lost even the respect Of decent repub-
| llcans in their dog-in-the-manger" manner
of trying 10 conduct Nebraska's public insti-
tutious.
| Minden Courier: Rave about railroad ex-
| tortion, but be as mum as clam when the
| railroads are packing conventions and nomi-
mating candidates, as they have continuously
done in this state.
Edgar Post: A few more Atlanta expos!-
! tons and the north and south will be on
reasonably friendly terms The horns and
hoots OF many supposed devils disappear on
! close inspection. All praise to the pro-
meters of the exposition.
Central City Nonpareil: The reelection Of
Judge Scott at Omaha looks much like slap
at Rosewater. Have they not paid rather
dear for their slap? Judge Scott is not the
proper man for district judge. He is tyran-
nical and woe TO the man that meets his dis
pleasure.
Schuyler Quill: The democratic county
ofilcehoder is rarely in Nebraska Out

state there are very, very few. Another
campaign the democrats will fall down worse
yet. The presidential year will be bad
ono for them.
Chappell Register: This policy Of electing
men who are unfit for a position just TO spite
some one else who is opposing them on the
grounds Of their unfitness Is wrong and should
be discouraged by all honest people. Rose
water, whatever may be his faults, was right
in his fight against Judge Scott.
Schuyler Herald: A friend at our elbow
suggests that Tom Majors will be the next
republican nominee for governor. and that
the World Herald will support him, just to
spite Rosewater. We should not be at all
surprised. 1t has got to that stage where
nothing from that source surprises us.
York Times: There would be no trouble
about keeping the gold reserve intact IL this
country was selling more in Europe than
1t was buying from there. Any man who
pays out more than he takes in will find It
very difficult to keep his gold reserve intact,
and the case is the same with the country.
Silver Greek Times: Ex-Oil Inspector Hill
ton is again running a newspaper. The
money that he stole while in Office ought to
be sufficient to start his paper off in good
shape. 1t should be made the organ Of the
criminal classes and all thieves. especially,
should Immediately subscribe. 1t ought to
have good circulation about the capitol at
Lincoln.
Schuyler Quill The democratic county
worst element in Omaha and Douglas county.
One of the men the citizens were particularly
after was District Judge Scott, who for four
years has disgraced the bench there with his
rawlings and outrageous rulings. He is
prominent A. p. A. leader and bad man for
any community, let alone being on the bench.
But he was elected by the largest majority
of all and thus people must conclude that
Omaha delights in rotten work.
Fullerton News: The News has one fault
to find with the present election law in Ne
braska. There may be more than one de-
feet in it, but we have noticed this one more
particularly. AS the law now stands, an
election board in this state is necessarily par
tisan. In a republican precinct the election
officers will all be republican. and in populist
precincts they will all be popufsts, thus rem
dering it possible for board to manipulate
returns or to mark ballots contrary to the
wishes of an illiterate voter IL the board is
unscrupulous. The law should be changed so
that all parties could be represented 1t
would be only fair to allow the minority party |
the minority of the board and the majority |
party majority of it.. Agitate change.
Kearney Hub: With all the discussion OF
the sugar beet question in Nebraska it must |
not be forgotten that corporation among !,
producers and the manufacturer is the only |
way in which the industry can be built up
beyond it's present dimensions. The Grand
Island and Norfolk factories can no more
than take care of the present output hence
without more factories or new methods of
consumption it is useless to enlarge the pres
ent acreage of beets. This is the problem
trat confronts the woud-be beet grower.
The Sugar trust is opposed to the extension '
of the industry in this state and will attempt
to throttle any new enterprise. But II the
producer and manufacturer stand shoulder to 4
shoulder and enlist the dealer under the
banner of "home industry" the struggle
will be won at the start
