LET TIE cnRpSK BE nrRIEp.

II is usual rs n protection to public
health to bury a corpse after it has been
laid out for three days. The rotten po-
lice board with which Governor llol-
comb has afflicted Omaha for over n
year has been pronounced dead Tor more
than the allotted time. liz ref ,sal pf
its friends to let il pass into the grave
yard makes 1t incumbent upon The Bee
TO include in its obituary II few remind
ers of its career of shocking %depravity
and scandalous conduct.
At the very outset the members
against whom Impeachment charges are
pending deliberately violated the oaths
of office by which they were solemnly
bound in the management of the police
and fire departments to regard only the
interests of the city and the service and
in making appointments and promotions
to disregard politics and partiSanship.
They turned the police force into
a political recruiting office. They
made Il political ward heclcr with
out n days experience in police
service chief of police and rewarded with
sthe next highest position a man motor
iously disreputable whose conduct they
had themselves condemned by ordering
charges preferred against him. Every
new man enrolled by them Oh the police
force had to have the backing of the
Doodle gang.
They levied blackmail upon brewers
and Saloonkeepers and gave robbers
rooSts and gamblers lens police protec-
ton for Il price. While one member of
the board has derived an income from
criminal law business built up through
his connection with the police commis-
sion, the medical man has through his
position shared in the profits of keepers
Of houses of ill-fame.
Yet this rotten outlaw board rocking
with infamy has the audacity to defy
the supreme court and insist upon con-
tinuing indefinitely its reign of lawlcSs-
ness and corruption. Has not Governor
Holcomb been already scandalizcd Sutfi
GENTLY? Does the attorney general
insist upon sharing the o0um which at
taches to the gang by c"ountcnancing
the attempt of Il dcfunct body TO hold on
to power after the law under which it
pretends TO act has bccn wiped off the
statute books?
Is it not high time that the putrpfying
corpse be Inferred in the political GENE,
terry and its memory consigned to the

HOME RULE.
Emancipation of Cities from LegisIn-
five Eetters.
Chicago Record.

Wherever new charters are being framed
for cities, the tendency Is TO guarantee to
the municipal bodies a larger degree of
home rule. This, seems to be true in Can
ada. as we'll as the United States, if the eX-
perience OF Montreal be taken as representa-
tive. There the demand for home rule came
as much from the Quebec legislative body as
from the municipality itself. The members
of tho provincial assembly objected to having
so much of their time consumed in lcgislat-
ing on matters of-local concern in Montreal.
As a consequence a I'M of experts vas
named to frame a new charter for the city,
rnment without necessity of further ap-
peal to the legislature for grants Of power,
This committee has made its report, and
the charter proposed is now under discus
sion.
This emancipation is in line with the ten
dency in certain cities of the United States,
| notably San Francisco. Here the motive
prompting the adoption of home-rule charters
is the desire OF the cities to free them
selves from legislative interference with
matters of local concern. One of the reasons
leading to the securing OF a home-rulG
charter for Montreal, the desire of the
| provincial legislature TO be freed from the
demands upon its time which the old system
requires, might we'll have weight on this
side OF the Canadian border. The time OF our
state legislatures is taken up altogether too
be left to the municipalities themselves.

OUR ALLIES.

Admiral Sampson has borne unuuali-
fed testimony TO the courage shown by
the Cubans at Guantanamo and he was
most favorablY impressed by the sol
dierly bearing of General Garcia, sec
ond in command of the Cuban inSur-
gents. In the latest report from Adj
miral Dewey he refers to the progress

states that his relations with the in

regard to the Cubans with the army be

ment in their condition that has come
from cooperation with the American
forces, II statement being that they
do as little rs possible. 1t is not to be
inferred from this, however, that they
are lacking in courage or will not give
| Il good account of themselves when given
the opportunity to do so.
There appears to be no good reason
to doubt either the loyalty OF the help
fulneSS of our insurgcnt allies. General
Garcia has demonstrated mis- earnest de-
sire to cooperate to the fullest extent
and the confidence felt IN AGuinaldo by
Admiral Dewey is all the assurance that
could be asked regarding his fidelity.
Admiral Sampson reports that there are
about 10000 Cubans in the vicinity of
Guantanamo and such Il force ought to
be of great service in the operations
against the Spaniards. Undoubtedly
the Philippine insurgents are already
cooperating with American troops and
they have given abundant evidence of
their courage. The Cubans will soon be
given IL severer test than they Lave yet
had and it is expected they will he found
equal to every demand upon them.

ing capture. Among tho victims were some
American citizens, who appealed to captain
Lowe for assistance. II was back in tho
carly eos, long before Mexico had anythiug
like n stable government. and Lowe or.
dered Brownson to take the sloop Forward,
pick bis mon, and run those pirates down.
The coast along there is fun vi deep seques-
tered laCoons, just the l~ovcltcst sort OF ref
ugo Tor buccaneers, and II was a hard job
for the young lieutenant to get on the sea
trail Of these slippery devils. His orders
were to capture their ship.
one furiously hot afternoon, when his
men had pulled the boats into one Of these
secluded bayous, Brownson caught a sinis-
ter looking rascal and found where the ne
farious schooner lay by II business-like
flourish Of his revolver around the rascal $
head. When they reached the vessel all
was still as a erayeyard-not the ~faiutest
sign Of life anywhere, as Brownson and his
men clambcrcd over the side, But they no
sooner stood punched on the deck than a
hot fusillade poured into them from the
dense foliage that banked the lagoon, be-
hind which the pirates had run to cover.
one seaman was killed and several were
wounded.

they were fighting on Unequal terms. He
realized, of course, that the pirates capture
was impossible, but he did the next best
thing--he burned the craft to the waters
edge, leaving the buccaneers without a tool
to carry on their trade.
BY the way, there's a pretty sequel to
this story. The merchants of Mazatlan
were so grateful to the young lieutenant
for Kidding them of the troublesome scourge
that they got together a handsome purse
for their naval benofactor. This, of course,
he could not accept, for Uncle Sam is the
only paymaster our fighting men know; but
the merchants, determined not to be cheated
out of some substantial token of their graf
itudc. converted their gift into Mexican sill
yer dollars and sent them over to England,
where they were converted into a massive
punch bowl, goblets and tray, exquisitely
carved and bearing "W. IL. b." in mono
gram, with a very profuse inscription. And
this trophy of his younger days is one of
the cherished ornaments in the command

CA WARTS PLIGHT

Admiral Camara is not in quite so bad
a plight as Ccrvera, since he is not shut
out from he seas and can sail back TO
Spain, which undoubtedly the latter
would very much like to do, or can pro-
coed on to the destination he started for
as long as his coal holds out, but his
situation must be perpleXing. C;mara
was reported to have boaStingly declared
at Il banquet, before his departure from
Cadiz, that he would not return until
he had drenched the Spanish flag in
American blood, or words to that effect,
but the outlook for his accomplishing
this dire purpose is decidedly unpromis-
ing. Camara struck Il neutrality snag
at Port Said. He was refused permits
sion to coal there and while it appears
that the Egyptian government has modi-
fled its original decision in this regard
it is reported that he has been notified
to leave.
1T is really, however. not Il matter of
very great Importance what shall b. lone
with Camara or what he himself shall
decide to do and this seems to be the
Nl'N 'llti 'llllth At iSlllllSl Dll. IL ne
should proceed to the Philippines there
can be no doubt that on his arrival there
he would fall an easy victim to Admiral
Dewey, unless, as may re intended, he
should sail into Some Philippine port re-
mote from Manila simply for the pur-
pose of making "A show Of Spanish SOW
ereignty. Camara'S squadron is re-
ported to be already in bad condition
and by the time it should reach the Phil
ippines it would be in no shape to fight
Dewey's squadron, which in the mean
while will be reinforced. To return to
Spain would be quite as profitless and
besides it would be regarded by the
Spanish people as Il surrender of the
Philippines and this would probably
cause trouble at home. The people
would see in this another manifestation
of the imbecility of the government and
it would not improve their temper.
Naval experts everywhere regard the
movement of this squadron rs most i'll
advised and this view of it seems al
ready to be fully justified.
