THE Republicans again demonstrated
in the Senate yesterday how sincere they
are in their loud protestations Of conon
and reform. about three years g they
abolished the office of assistant prose-
cutor in s~econd-class counties. because
the position was an unwarranted cx-
the sole purpose of living some one an
Office.
Yesterday a bill reviving the Office
passed the Senate It is not e~xtravagant
this time. nor is It being passed for the
purpose of supplying some hungry Re-
publican with an Office; that is if YOU
believe what the Republicans say.
OF course. Griggs win sign it.

What dc the good people of New Jer-
sey think of Governor John v. Griggs to-
day? Do they at last agree with 1.-THE
News the he is the most unfit man who
ever occupied the ~gubernatorial chair.
Whether they do or not. they must at
least admit that he was yesterday guilty
of the most notorious act of political
scoundrelism that amy Governor of New
Jersey has committed in his Official ca
pacity, within the, memory of man.
The signing of the bill for the abolition
of the spring election-in lrst-class cities
only-shows John w. Griegs to be the
tool of the water syndicate and the
creature of the lowest political bosses in
the State. There can be no pretence that
he did not realize what he was doing. for
he is a lawyer of skill and a politician of
twenty-five years standing. He reads the
newspapers, and every paper of respecta-
bility in the State and in New York has
denounced the measure. advancing I'M
answerable arguments against its becom-
ing law. Indeed. the main arguments
which bear on the question antedate the
immediate controversy. They are gener-
alv accepted as established principles Of
municipal policy.
That Governor Griggs was conscious of
the i~ndefensibility of his position is
shown besides by his eowardly evasion
of a public hearing. He knew h if he
granted it. the people of Jersey City and
Newark would make an overwhelming
demonstration against the bill. This
would make it a little harder to do the
bidding of the men to whom he has sold
his soul for Senatorial votes. Therefore,
he stole a march on the people and
signed the bill before they could reach
him with their protests.
The people win remember Mr.. Griggs.

A FEW days ago, the 'True American"
speaking of his bill said that Governor
Griggs has been bitten by the t~arantula
of political ambition and consequently is
likely to sacrifice all his boosted indie
pendence to his desire for Advancement.
Commenting on this, the Newark EVEN
ing News says. in its usual Pharisaicai
style:-
The True American with an emphasis
which the conditions hardly warrant. de-
clares that the people will wait in vain If
they expect the Governor to stand netween
them and the purposes of the politicians.
With more vigor than the circumstances
seem to warrant, the Trenton publication
says Governor Griggs has degenerated
into an ordinary politician, working every
chance in politics to advance his own for
tunes. Such being the fact, says the
True American" he will either sign this
nefarious bill or else permit it to become
a law without his signature.
The people of New Jersey will hardly
accept this estimate of the Governor.
Surely this man of high spirit and pro-
fessed vigorous independence has not n
dergone such a change in his political
principles. On his induction into office he
was the valiant champion of the ideal
principle of politics and government. To

turned face about and with the same zeal
and vigor advances and uphOlds the prin-
ciples of the professional politician is
premature and unkind.
Now. nobody knows better h the
News that there is not a word of truth
in this estimate of the Governor. 1t
knows that as a reformer he has always
been a sham. 1t knows that he has been
up to the neck in party politics and cor
poration deals all his life. It knows that
he was wholly and entirely an accident
as an Exponent of the ridiculous move
ment miscalled reform The News"
knew when it wrote and published the
above that there was not one chance in
twenty thousand of Governor Griggs
vetoing the bill
But the News was one of the agencies
that foisted this peanut politician on the
State, and so it finds it necessary to keep
up the pretence of believing in him to the
last. What we wonder at is what it will
say, now that he has signed the bill,
This is what the News thinks about
the bill. by the Way: lesI
The object of this measure which is
now awaiting the Governors signature
is to discourage independent action by
the voter at municipal elections 1t con-
fravenes the best accepted notions OF
municipal government.

RILEY LOCKED UP In JAIL
Man Who Shot Nick 0'Brien is in Custody
at Last,
LAUGHS AT THE CHARGE AGAINST HIM
snys He Can Prove that the EN-Dcputy
sheriff Is Mistaken i'm His Asscr-
tion that His Assnilnnt
is Caught.
LAUGHS At THE CHARGE AGAINST HIM

Sheriff Morgan returned from Pennsyl-
vania yesterday with J. Riley, the man who
is accused of having shot Deputy Sheriff
Nick O'Brien two years ago, after o'Brien
had placed him under arrest upon the charge
OF robbing the Griswold bank.
Riley was seen at the county Jail yesterday
and talked quite freely of his life and expe-
riences. but solemnly averred that while he
might have been guilty of numerous Efforts
to extract money from people without their
knowledge while plying his vocation as a
professional pickpocket and sneak thief, he
positively was never guilty of attempting
to take human life or rob a bank. He
swears that ne never was in Council Bluffs,
except when passing through the city mum
Der of years ago. He says he was never in
Griswold in his life and never heard Of
the place until after he was accused OF rob
bing the bank there. He smiled when his
attention was called to his positive dentiica-
tion by O'Brien as the man who shot him,
and says he will be able to convince O'Brien
and a jury OF Council Bluffs citizens that the
ex-deputy sheriff is mistaken.
When Sheriff Morgan reached Chicago, and
showed his prisoner to the Tolice, they at
once recognized him as a professional sneak
thief and picSpocket, who is known there
as PUSSY" They said Bussy's reputation
was bad, but that he had never been identi-
fed with bank robbers, and was not looked
upon as a dangerous man. The Riley they
had In their minds and had been looking for
at the request of the Iowa officers was an
entirely different sort of a man, fellow who
followed bank robbng, and who would shoot
on the slightest provocation. They were
quite positive in their statements to Sheriff
Morgan THAI his man was not the individual
wanted at Council Bluffs. "Bussy," or
Riley admits that he is well acquainted with
the man who shot o Brien, and famliarly re-
fers to him as "Hob-Nailed Riley"
The man in the county Jail is fine look
ing fellow, with a bright, intelligent face, a
good dresser, and has apparently been a
good liver. He complained Of the long ride
from Pttsburg, and said it was pretty rough
on him, for the reason that he was accus-
toned to occupying a berth in a sleeping car
when he had trip Of such magnitude before
him. He professed to be very anxious to
meet OBrien and have another talk with
him. He says II he does not have to re-
main in Jail too long, he will make no effort
to secure nail bond but IL his case should
be delayed, he will call upon his friends in
the east to get him out of Jail. He will
be held under the indictment returned by the
grand jury .wo years ago. and will be ar
raigned in the district court at the present
term.

There is any amount of complaint in re-

a good sprnter as well as the possessor OF
a stout pair of lungs, If he makes the at
tempt TO transfer in the time allowed by the
company. As soon as the main line trains
slack up for the switch at the north side
of n street the engineer on the Q street
motor pulls out, and 1t takes good deal oi
yelling and swearing to get him to stop Tor
the passengers he is supposed to wait for.
1t is not as bad making connections from the
south for, as a rule. the conductors OF the
main line trains look to see II the stub is
in sight before pulling out.
During the bad weather last week there
was good deal of grumbling on account OF
the seeming carelessness OF the motorman
on the stub car in starting off before CIV
ing the passengers a chance to transfer.
Many of the patrons of the new line are
clerks. employed at the packing houses, and
the missing of one car in the morning makes
them from fifteen to twenty minutes late
to their work. large number OF these
clerks are women who cannot run or at
tract the attention of the motorman, and are
compelled to seek shelter and wait for the
next car.

New Fire Alarm system.

At tonghts council meeting Councilman
Franek of the Second ward will recommend,
as chairman of the fire and water committee,
that new fire and police alarm system be
placed in service, at an annual cost of $40.
Franek proposes to have five street booths
erected at different points about the city,
each to be provided with long distance
telephone, and connected with the central
Office of the Nebraska Telephone company
by a metallic circuit These telephones are
to be used by patrolmon, who may thus re-
port to headquarters every hour, ana re-
ceive instructions, and for fire alarm pur-
noses A special switchboard and operator
is to be provided at the exchange, and fire
alarms can be instantly turned over to the
department by the touching of a button.
Three keys to each of these booths are to be
distributed to responsible citizens in the
neighborhood so that no time VIII be losl
in sounding an alarm either OF IRE OF lot
the police. -,
The regular fire alarm boxes in use cost
the city SIPS each. Then the eXpense oil
wire. poles, labor etc. runs the cost of each
box UP to something like $3.50. Under
Franek's new scheme the city would be ac-
ouiring five new alarm boxes at a very
low rate Should the council adopt the suG-
gestion the cost of the Improvement VIII
be borne by the telephone company, and the
ront for the five boxes is to be not more than
S175 per year Three booths will be located
on o street, one at Thrty-third and l.
streets. and one at Twenty-fourth and j
