should repeat this fall its notable and decisive
victory Of q year ago. Since 1890 Republican
successes In Nebraska have been infrequent,
and Republican leadership has been distracted
by personal and factional quarrels. Under Wig
orous management the opposition elements were
fused into a strong and disciplined party, which
took and held control of the State Efforts to
break this control usually proved futile until
1898. when the Republicans regained the legis-
lature Two years later they held the legis-
lature and recaptured the GOvernorship, besides
Wrestling the States electoral vote from Colonel
Bryan. This year the defeated Democratic
Presidential candidate is trying TO rally the
Fusion forces for another contest and the indl-
cations are that an alliance will be effected be-
tween the Democratic and Populist organiZa-
tions. the so-called Silver Republican party hav-
ing passed by its own confession through the
last formal throes of dissolution. The Fusion
managers cannot hope 10 maintain their coal-
ton in the face of two or three successive de-
feats Their fight this year will therefore be
desperate one; for a victory now would go far
toward restoring them TO power at Lincoln IN
1902 The moral advantage TO the Republicans
of a triumph in November is equally clear, and
the progress of this ''of year" contest in Colonel
Bryan's State will be followed with general and
widespread interest.

REVOLT IN THE POLICE FORCE.

The honest members of the Police Depart
ment have suffered from the corruption OF their
rulers quite as much the rank ana nle OF
their fellow citizens. They have been so thor
oughly in the clutches of the blackmailers in au-
thority, who have bled them as we'll as the
small shopkeepers and the vicious and criminal
classes that they have endured in silence even
more than their fellow victims. When. there
fore q policeman is finally stung to open def
ance of Devery il creates a decided sensation.
1t is too early yet to forecast the effect Of Po-
liceman O'Neilrs standing at bay in the face Of
Devery's persecution but his course suggests
startling possibilities. What can he tell-rather
what can he not te-of his superiors alliance
with lawbreakers and punishment of honest Off
GERS who insist on doing their duty? How
many other policemen who are compelled TO be
instruments in this system of partnership with
crime. or at least silent spectators Of its work
ings, might be emboldened by the example of
one man throwing off the yoke 10 turn, as they
undoubtedly could do. expose the corruption
which enmeshes them and free the department
from the domination of Devery and his criminal
associates?
The police have been enduring some hard
knocks recently The work Of District Attorney
Philbin, Justice Jerome and Mr.. Moss has been
extremely annoying. They have put on a bold
front or an innocent one, as occasion required,
but they have not been happy. No officer has
been as free 10 go about and enjoy himself or
collect his accustomed tribute for fear Of being
caught with the goods on him" No wardman
could arrange for tips of raids. for fear of hiring
spy of the reformers. No captain could rest
easy in making coloress official reports, for fear
they would rise up as evidence and send him TO
State prison Now, If their own serfs. whom
they have had TO trust. counting on being able
10 keep them in subOrdinatiOn, should revolt
and ally themselves with the forces of law. diff
cult indeed would be their condition The visit
OF ONell to Justice Jerome is one OF the most
threatening Of portents for Devery. With all
his bluff. he and his system are as insecure as
is every gigantic criminal conspiracy. 1t is pow
erful and imposing and successful so long as
every circumstance is favorable but when the
combination is broken it falls IN utter ruin
There are thousands Of persons in New-York
with the power TO break up the whole black
mailing vice protecting business. Has the time
come when, either for self-preservation or be-
cause they chance at last 10 escape a no
longer endurable tyranny, some of them are
ready TO use that power? If so, the doom of
Devery and the emancipation of the honest
members Of the police force are at hand

who thus goes about visiting the sick and doing
good careless of appearances. Such innocence
is more than natural. 1t must be acquired.
MORE WATER LATER.

Every rainfall soaks the spirits of the schem-
ing officeholders who have been hoping that
summer of drouth in the southeastern part OF
the Empire State might scare the citizens into
needless support of plans for an enormous ex-
penditure for the increase of the water supply
in all the boroughs of this city, with hasty and
i'll considered appropriations of public funds
which might reach gigantic totals.
Long before the middle of this century i'm
portant additions must be made to the quantity
of water distributed through the mains in every
quarter of the town. But the energies of our
extravagant and i'll managed Water Department
should be chiefly devoted for the present to
1essening the appalling waste by stopping the
big leaks and otherwise. A we'll considered sys-
TEN for drawing upon new. sources of supply
must be matured and adopted within ten or a
dozen years. but the RamapO consprators and
their accomplices in the Water Department
should be barred from any connection with the
ENTERPRISE.

THE YOUNG TURKS.

The sensitiveness Of the Sultan on the subject
of the Young Turkish party has already been
mentioned in these columns as suggesting an
imperative reason for the preservation OF friend
~ relations between Turkey and France. The
latest dispatches confirm this view of the case.
The Sultan is much incensed at a book about
himself, written by the son Of the late Prince
OF Samos, that he has striven 10 get all Euro
pcan governments TO suppress the book. and
has had the author condemned to death by the
Turkish courts. OF course. the sentence will
not be operative since the author is safe in
Paris. where he is identified with the Young
Turkish party and lie viii doubtless take care
not 10 be caught on Turkish soil
II is not TO be supposed OF course that the
French Government would on any pretext sur
render the man TO Turkey for no other offence
than the publication OF political book Never
theess, II does not object TO keeping n certain
police surveillance over such ccnspirators. Not
long ago II went so far as 10 suppress a particu-
larly obnoxious paper published by the Young
Turks. And. of course. II lets the Turkish Am
bassador in Paris keep as close n watch as he
pleases upon their doings. We can readily
understand, then, with what CONSERVATION the
Sultan and his ministers must receive an init
nation that the French Government will. unless
NoA'"ih SOHuuoHs are cOinpHeu Wlth abandon
all surveillance over political consprators and
let the Young Turks plot and publish all they
please. In addition TO that of course in case
OF actual breach Of diplomatic relations. the
Turkish Embassy at Paris would no longer be
able to do IT'S work of watching the conspirators
and frustrating plots against the Sultau's life.
No wonder, then, that word comes from Con
stantinople that III is believed full satisfaction
will be given TO France" The safety of the
Sultan and his government is at stake. Whom
1t comes-as 1t now seems TO have done-to n
choice between paying an indemnity and having
the Young Turks let loose the Sultan will not
long hesitate.
