POINTERS on PERTINENT TorIcs.

Kearney Sun: The transfer Of the indian
supply warehouse from Chicago TO Omaha.
| as contemplated by the amendment tackled
| on to the Indian appropriation bill. is agi-
tating the city by the lakes. II would be
a good thing for Nebraska and every loyal
! citizen OF the state will push the project
along.
Schuyler Quill: Some OF our democratic
friends have made up their minds that they
have the popullst party so well in charge
that they can read out any who do not suit
them. The fellow who don't fall in with
the idea of having the populist party side
show for democracy is at once denounced a
traitor.
Papillion Times Plant trees! Yes, by all
means let Nebraskans plant trees. They
can't do us much good now, but when they
grow great and strong they will look beau
tiful to the eye when decorated with men
who follow in the footsteps of the Moores,
Bartleys, Hiltons. Moshers and other public
thieves. Plant treesl
Aurora Sun: 1t is proposed to locate an
Indian supply agency at Omaha, and Chicago
and New York have Joined teams
to prevent it. The whole country
west of the Mississippi should join
hands in urging western repre-
sentatives to be alert to their interests.
Millions of supplies will be purchased from
Nebraska and surrounding states, II Omaha
secures the supply depot. 1t is worth
striving for. Congressman Stark telegraphs
Omaha location.
Papilion Times: Last fall one Brigham
was elected assessor for South Omaha. I'M
mediately he created sensation by declar-
ing he would strictly abide by his official
oath and assess all property at full value.
The corporations were terrorstricken Such
an assessment would make them pay taxes
proportonately with the small home owner
few days since the Omaha
papers announced that this same
Brigham had decided to resign, in
order to accept fat job with some eastern
corporation. Does any man dare say that
the great corporations in South Omaha had
anything to do with getting that fat job for
brigham and sending him out of Nebraska? :?
Perish the thought.
Columbus Telegram: Up to the adjourn
ment of the legislature no one could have
known from reading the World Herald alone
that Joe Bartley and Eugene Moore had
robbed the state in the sum of more than
S5Oo,OOO between them. While almost every
paper in the state-even republican organs
denounced the thieves the contemplate
World-Herald said never a word about the
matter. 1t was mum for fear il might offend
somo republican member of the legislature,
on whom it depended to assist in robbing the
state for the benefit of a lot of schemers in
Omaha. But now that the legislature has ad-
journed, and there is no more chance to milk
the state through its corrupt members, the
World Herald all at once assumes highly
Virtuous attitude in regard to the wholesale
robbery of the state by republican officials
and vehemently cries in double loaded bre-
vier for the punishment of the thieves The
course and policy-if it can be called a policy
of the World-Herald during the past few
months has been cowardly and disgusting and
richly merits the contempt we hear expressed
for 1t on every hand.

SHIPS THAT PASS IN THE NIGHT

PhiladelphiaoTlnies: Some allege that the
best time to- see Those western airships is
when they are haH seas over.
Chicago Times Herald; That airshp idea
isn't so bad after all. 1t comes as a wei
come relief to those who hitherto have been
accustomed To- sse- Japanese dragons in the
air with green tails and pink eyes.
Chicago Posi-: ~Pretty drunk this time
amt you?" said =. Baldwin. as his friend
Rambo lurchef heavily against him, "Well
IL hain't steenS any airshp yeti" mum
bled Rambo Craving himself up with of
Tended dignitE>
Chicago Tribune: Now the public i9 in
formed on high authority that there wasn't
any airship. Mr.. Edison has taken the
trouble to explain seriously that all these
yisiors in the west have been deuslons. This
is timely and kind on the part OF Mr.. Edl-
son, and saves many million people from
being the victims any longer Of the evidence
spoke everybody thought, OF course. that
there was not only an airoAip. but probably
a flock of them or a feet or galaxy. The
particular craft whose navigator relieved the
aerial monotony by fishing for suckers was
commonly looked on as the flagship, and
Imagination had attributed a variety of in
teresting missions To the ship that exploded,
the other ship that devoted itself to the
entertainment OF EVans.On. and the several
ships that divided up among themselves the
other quarters of the heavens. But now
that II appears these are not ships at all,
what are they? They cannot all be stoIs
or balloons. They must be birds"

THE FAMOUS DIRECTOR.

Kansas City Star: Mr. Holman was an
honest man, but his integrity was no greater
than that of many another congressman who
never acquired reputation as an objector.
Chicago Inter Ocean: 1t may be written
| upon his gravestone that he was honest to
the core, and that he was a judge and a leg
islator who made and interpreted laws with
out fear or favor to any created man or
| thing.
Chicago Chronicle: Judge Holman was
| the oldest member of the house as regards
age and his term of public service. He was
| among the most distinguished statesmen
by whom Indiana will be represented on
the pages of American history.
Chicago News: Unquestionably he was
an expert in all the arts of the American
politician, he thoroughly understood human
nature and he was a fair stump speaker
But other men, without his reputation for
integrity, have been his peers in politics
| and have failed. He followed closely the
precept laid down by Mr.. Lincoln, when he
advised one to keep very close to the peo-
pie" This Mr.. Holman did in a public
career covering almost the entire period Of
fifty-four years and it rarely failed him.
Detroit Free Press His taking off is a
positive loss to the nation for it is i'm
possible to think at this time of the name
of one member of the lower house who has
the courage and strong sense of duty to
stand in his place, and to the best of his
ability balk every tainted bill or eXtravagant
appropriation. 1t requires a sturdy and
consecrated spirit-a man who is willing
to suffer unpopularity, if not ostracism-
to thus represent the whole people
against thousand and one selfish local or
personal schemes of legislation and 'expen-
diture.
St. Paul Globe: He was the terror of all
the numerous clan of jobbers who cultivate
claims upon the treasury, nurse them along
to the final moments, and then, in the rush
of a closing session, try to crowd
them through in the melee of
bills 1t was then, when single objec-
tion would be fatal, that Holman, the faith
full, who had been keeping watch on the
schemes, would rise and nterpose the fatal
81 object" Nor was it alone these jobs
that he antagonized. He set himself in op-
position to every extravagant use of public
money, and numerous are the victories he
scored Sometimes the house turned him
down." but, never discouraged or disheart-
ened, he stood by his self-appointed post
and renewed his Instructions. Such char
acter is not a popular one.

The Tears OF Lawyers.

But when will it have gone far
enough? Will the judge have to es-
tablish a precedent that a lawyer must not
cry more than one quart. for instance? Sup
pose he gets to crying so that he cannot
stop himself. which might possibly happen
II he were very much interested in his case?
This contingency must be taken into account,
for the whole theory of this emotional busi-
ness is that the lawyer really has his
clients interests at heart, and is overcome by
emotion. The jury Is not going to be moved
by any crocodile tears 1t will not do to cast
the slightest doubt upon the genuneness Of
tho briny fluid. And If 1t is genuine, there
is no knowing where 1t will stop-ths she'd
ding of tears. On the whole, the safest course
for young lawyer, even in Tennessee, to
pursue, wouldi'be to try to influence the jury
by some other means "a strong mans tears"
are extremely pathetic in book, but not
when they are made show of for money.

IMPROVEMENTS THAT MUST BE MADE.


With the spring season already upon
us the people of Omaha are admonished
that they have no time to lose in plan
ming and executing the various public
| improvements whose completion before
the date set for the opening of the great
Transmissssippi Exposition is abso-
| lutely necessary.
First and foremost among these i'm
provements comes the paving and re-
paving of our public thoroughfares
| Not only must the streets and avenues
| leading to the exposition grounds be
| put in iilst-claSs condition so as to make
| the exposition perfectly accessible to
| every kind of vehicle, but the principal
| thoroughfares in the business and resi-
! dence portions of the city should be
| given liberal amount of attention
| Visitors to the exposition will want to
| see all the better parts of the city and
| they will be entitled to the use of we'll
| paved streets. AS under our system of
| paving and repaving the consent of the
owners of the abutting property is re-
quired before the work can be con
tracted for or the taxes levied to pay it,
the first step must be the prepara ton
| OF the necessary petitions. Every prop
! crty owner along streets that need paw
ing or repaying should make it II matter
OF patriotism and civic pride to do all
in his power to expedite these improve
meDts.
Another matter that must be imme-
diately taken up is the betterment and
extension of our permanent sidewalks.
A permanent sidewalk area has been
designated by ordinance, but the Ordi-
nance has been most leniently enforced
and there are comparatively few blocks
in the city that are well provided for in
this direction. The plank sidewalk
should be a thing of the past except in
the remoter suburban districts, and
while brick may be tolerated on resi-
dence streets that are little used by
pedestrians the main thorouGhfares
should be flanked on both sides with
continuous lines of natural or artificial
stone sidewalks. The effect of good
pavements and attractive buildings can
be easily spoiled by wretched sidewalks
or no sidewalks at all.
Our sewer system will also have to
be extended, If not enlarged While
Omahas sewers are to all intents and
purposes practically sufficient for present
needs, they will be taxed To much
greater extent during the coming few
years. The extensions will have to be
made chiefly in the vicinity of the eX-
position grounds, where one or two new
mains will be needed and connections
built with many buildings in that part
of town.
Our parks and bouleyards must, fur
thermore, be put I'm condition TO be
counted among the attractions for eX-
position visitors. Many people base
their judgments of city on the parks
and public squares, and Omaha cannot
afford to allow strangers to leave with
bad impression ON this score. We
have several parks that are beautiful
by nature and well advanced in arti-
fetal landscaping that can be put in
excellent condition with small outlay
of money. 1t should be our policy to
develop these parks thoroughly rather
than to make a poor attempt TO cover
too much ground. While the exposition
