This week we publish a picture OF
Ethel and Alice Dovey, the two little
girls from Plattsmouth whose futures
are SO full Of promise. The pictures
were taken in the costume in which
they sang when Jesus was Here Upon
Earth Among Men" in London. The
pictures are certainly pretty, but they
do not fiatter the originals. There is a
possibility that Lincoln people will
have an opportunity 10 hear the Misses
Dovey some time in October, az they
may appear in concert here. II they do
i advise everyone who can to hear
them, for fancy there will come time
when We will all be glad to say that We
heard them when they were little tots
in long curls and short dresses.

ANOTHER COMPLICATION.

According to Washington advices our
government has another complication
on hand. 1t is stated that the State
department is being good deal an
noyed by the persistent failure of the
Turkish government to comply with the
requirements of modern diplomacy and
in the event of that government cOntin-
uing to ignore violations on the part
of its officials of the rights of Amer
lean citizens within its domain it is
said to be the intention of Secretary
Olney to resort to the most drastic
treatment. 1t appears that diplomatic
questions with Turkey have arisen
with such frequency in the last two
years that they now occupy almost as
much of the time of the State depart
ment as those of more important coun-
tries. They further require the pres
ence of one or two war ships almost
constantly in Turkish waters and a
close watch on the part of the Amer
lean minister at Constantinople to pro-
tect United States citizens and those
who have denied their allegiance to
Turkey from annoyance and even bod
lily injury.
A case now before the State depart
ment is that of an American woman
who was assaulted and severely NAL
treated by banditti. Some of the as
sailants were arrested, convicted and
sentenced to Imprisonment, from which
! they escaped. Our government now in
sists that these persons be rearrested
and punished and threatens, in the
event of this not being done, to de-
mand an indemnity. A Washington
| dispatch says that Secretary Olney
| makes no cOncealment of his desire to
bring about some definite understand
ing with Turkey regarding her recog-
milton of the rights of American cit
izens to receive that protection to which
they are entitled, and if this cannot
be accomplished Turkey will unques-
tionably have to face the stern realiza
tion that she must be treated with
rigor and decision.
The first step the administration
should take, If it is really anxious to
secure from the Turkish governmen,
proper protection of the rights OF
American citizens, is to recall the

AN TyrAuuvs Conspiracy.

The refusal of the council combine
to confirm the appointments Of judges
and clerks of election appointed by
Mayor Bcmis In conformity with the
TO disfranclisc the citizens Of Omaha
at the election next Tuesday and to
count in men who do not receive
majority of the votes cast.
This conspiracy contpmplatcs nothing
more nor less than the perpetration of
wholesale frauds by election boards
packed in the interest of the dervish
candidates and lawless interference
with the votes by police acting under
orders Of W. j. Broatch, chairman of
the police commission and dervish can
didate for mayor.
The program of the conspirators has
not been mystery. 1t was discussed
among members of Council 12J more
than ten days ago and one of the A.
=. A. ward hcplcrs served personal
notice on Mayor Bemis, through his
secretary. that the council would reject
every election officer that was not
satisfactory to it.
Councilman Saunders chairman OF
the council judiciary committee, who is
designated in the \. l.. A. documents
now in our possession rs captain of
the Fifth ward. had the impudence and
audacity to assert that the men were
rejected because they were incompc-
tent when in fact every applicant was
required by the mayor to give proofs
of his competency, and those proofs are
on file in the mayors office.
The real reason and the only reason
for this outrageous conduct is that the
gang proposes to rape the ballot boxes.
If the object was to get more colnpe-
tent men than the mayor had selected
why did the combine adjourn immc-
| from sending in other names? Can
| they get more competent men by trust
| ing to the choice of mob that will
gather at the polling places Tuesday
morning? Is it not manifest that their
purpose is to provoke disturbances at
each of the polling places where the
contest for election officers is forced
on the people and, under preteXt of
quclling disturbance. have the police
interfere and supervise the election with
clubs aud revolvers?
Three of the councilmcn who have
taken active part in this conspiracy,
A. G. Edwards, s. L. Gordon and Half
dan jacobsen, are candidates for city
and county offices and their only hope
is to defeat the will Of the people which
they already know is overwhelmingly
in favor of their retirement to private
life.
We serve notice on the conspira tefs
and their abettors that the citizens OF
Omaha will not allow their rights to
be thus trampled under foot and their
franchises wrested from them either
by fraud or by force.

A CAUTION TO YERS.

Heretofore judges who have occupied
positions in this judicial district have
been men selected for their known eX-
perience and ability. Never before in
the history of this judicial district has
it been thought necessary for judicial
candidates to traverse the district and
engage in the slum work of the Ordi-
nary politician. 1t is true that four
years ago Cunningham Il. Scott, being
new to the people of this district did
engage somewhat in the traffic of the
politician. We have seen the result
during the administration of his Office
thus far. Since the nomination of the
candidates upon the so-called repub-
lican ticket the nominees have been in
dustriously at work. not only getting
themselves acquainted with the people
of the district, but assuring the people
that they are the purest and best legal
minds at the disposal of the republican
party.
The Bee does not believe that it
is conducive to the best adminstra-
ton of justice that the mere politician
should be elevated to the bench. Poll
ties is Il trade. Judicial fitness is some
thing entirely different. The material
interests of the voters of this district
are in the hands of the seven Judges
to be elected to fill that office for the
ensuing four years. If it is political
determination of judicial questions that
is wanted by the people, then surely
tl,n nlynt InI I,x- ,..rIn
Scott ought to be elected. If it is judi
cial determination solely upon the lines
of the law, then it ought to be de-
feated.
One illustration will suffice: The
canal case, so called, determined by
three of the present judges. is now
pending for determination before the
supreme court. The judges who de
cided that case demonstrated to Il
mathematical certainty the dangerous
political power which the canal act en-
gendered and created. They were
| brave enough to put such political
| enginery away from them. If the case
is reversed and the bonds provided for
in the act are voted upon and carried
by the people of the county, the judges
to be elected mt the coming election
will be the ones who will select the
| board of trustees. Can it be doubted
for moment the character, Of the
board which will be selected by the
men who are making politics their
| trade in order to be elevated to n Judi
cial seat? Like begets like. In the
judgment of The Bee it will be utterly
impossible for men engaged in the
trade of politics, owing their elevation
to the high judicial office by reason OF
their political uickery and sharpness
to do anything else than to place theil
kind In the office of public trust. II
such men are elected the material in
terests of this county can rest assured
that the men selected to fill the offic,
of trustees under the canal act, ant
eXpend the immense sums of money tC
be disbursed, will be men who are no
only educated in the art of the politi
clan, but who will engage in that vas
enterprise for the sole purpose of per

JOIN L. W.EBSTERS CONTRACT.


That genial but unreliable and I'M
scrupulous champion of the dervish
ticket, John Lee Webster. has taken
the contract to keep the people of
Omaha away from the Coliseum
tonight. He has had the town
flooded with dodgers announcing that
he proposes on the same night to eX-
pose the origin of the citizens reform
movement at another place Several
brass bands have been engaged re-
gardless of expense to assist Mr.. Web
ster in drumming up an audience, and
Il procession of hired torch bearers is
to light the way to Webster's side-show.
But the herculean task of stemming
the irresistible tidal wave of reform
is not to rest upon the shoulders of
John Lee alone. He has secured the
aid of Assistant City Attorney Cornish
as sponge holder while he mops off all
the spots from the tattoOed candidates.
If any man, or rather any two men,
| We're equal to this task it would be
the firm of Webster &. Cornish, gen

eXOnerated the embeZZlers and eX-
cused the criminal negligence of the
comptroller and his deputies.
Webster was city attorney under
Broatch. while at the same time he
was attorney for the owners of the gas
works. He made bold bluff to re-
sist the inflated $4,000 gas claim and
was instrumental with Broatch in hav-
ing the city confess judgment. Cornish
conducted the Olsen investigation and
instead of prosecuting him was con-
| stantly inyenting excuses for him.
Webster and Cornish may rdicule

rid themselves of incompetents and
rOgues in public Office, but intelligent
people will discount their talk and re-
fuse to be sidetracked from the main
issue that will be discussed by Henry

few days the Carnegie and Bethlehem compa-
MES have received invitations from the Rus
sian and Brazilian governments to bid for the
furnishing of a large quantity of Harveyized
plates. Plate made in Pennsylvania for the
Russian government has given good account
of itself on the foreign proving grounds. The
sale of this armor in Europe is significant
testimony of the great strides which this in

years ago We not only made no heavy plate
but were even without the plant for its manu-,
