TWO YEARS AGO and NOW.

Congressman MERGERS campaign man
memory He resents the publicity given
by a Fourth ward republican to a we'll
defined m that he and his chief lieu
tenant, Gurley, knitted the republican
legislative ticket two years ago. Mr..
Blackburn's disclaimer is coupled with
the assertion that he not only voted for
the legislative ticket in 1900, but urged
his friends to do likewise.
II this is true, it is passing strange
that Mr.. Blackburn's urgent appeals on
behalf of the legislative ticket for 1900
had no effect upon William F. Gurley,
who was associated with him in the
management Of Mr.. MERGERS campaign.
1t is a matter of notoriety that Gurley
not only supported the fusion legislative
ticket, but hat he also after the cleo
ton acted as champion and attorney for
Frank Ransom and the other fusion
members of the legislature who secured
their seats through wholesale frauds.
1t is also very, very significant that G.
NJ. Hitchcock, then a candidate for United
States senator, urged the republican
county clerk, Mr.. Haverly, to place
Thomas w. Blackburn on the board to
canvass the returns of Douglas county.
II Blackburn was really a warm sup
porter of the republican legislative
ticket, why should Hitchcock exhibit
such anxiety to have him appointed as
of the election returns? And
why was Blackburn in open alliance
with the fusion legislative candidates
after the election in the movement to
prevent the election of two republicans
to the United States senate?
According to Mr.. Blackburn, the
Fourth ward republican who insinuates
that Gurley and Blackburn were dis
loyal to the legislative ticket two years
ago is a truculent prevaricator and dis
loyal republican. The man whom
Blackburn stigmatizes is a Grand Army
veteran whose r~epublicanism has never
been challenged.
Mr.. Blackburn's solicitude for the cleo
ton of the legislative ticket nominated
under MERGERS dictation is in decided
contrast with his lack of solicitude for
the election of the ticket two years ago.
Blackburn and Mercer both knew that
there was IN organized conspiracy,
which had been set on foot by William
]. Broatch, John N. Westberg, John Nc
Donald and several Of the candidates on
this years legislative ticket, to knife
the republican ticket two years ago. He
knew that these men sought to accom-
plish their purpose by urging their re-
publican followers and friends to vote
the straight democratic ticket, but
| neither Mercer nor Blackburn sounded
the alarm or sought to prevent the con-
summation of the plot that had for its
object the defeat of all republican candi'
dates for United States senator and the
election of two democrats.
These things are still fresh in the
minds Of a few republicans in Omaha,
and the Fourth ward republican who re.
fuses to be dragoOned into the support
of Mr.. Mercer this year, although he
supported him and worked for him for
five successive terms, is only n OF
many republicans who are not disposed
to pay a premium on political duplicity
and treachery.
Curses, like chickens, come home tC

A good delegation from Omaha and
Nebraska is expected to attend the
National Irrigation congress, Omaha
and Nebraska are vitality interested in
the promotion of irrigation as an agency
for the settlement and upbuilding Of the
west upon which we depend in so many
ways. The irrigation legislation already
accomplished is largely the result OF sys-
tsmatic agitation and organized effort
which must be continued II what has
been gained is 70 be held and extended.

Nebraska farmers are again complain
ing Of the scarcity of farm laborers and
the difficulty Of getting the corn husked
without help. They never had to com
plain on this score before republican
prosperity reopened the mills n fac

For the meeting of the National League
of Republican Clubs an apportionment
has been made calling for the attendance
of nearly 1000 delegates. 1t would be
surprising If one-fourth of that number
put in an appearance. The league has
for several years been steadily going
down hill until 1t has practically petered
out. 1t would be much better to meet
only in presidential years or to disband
than to continue the farce of holding
annual meetings for an organization that
no longer exists except on paper. Yet
the National League Of Republican
Clubs has Jared no worse than the
league of democratic clubs, which to all
intents and purposes has also gone glim-
mering.

Omaha wants more dwelling houses
for working people who can pay moder-
ate rental. The demand for such houses
constantly exceeds the supply. Owners
OF un%improved real estate in this city
should make their property bear income

coal prices.

Judge o'Neill Ryan OF st. Louis takes the
refreshing position that, in trying cases,
the broad intent and purpose of the law
should be considered, rather than the triv-

far too many members Of the legal pro-
fession for the purpose Of thwarting justice.

magistrates Of that stamp are sorely needed.

OF this there appears at present no
prospect, nor is there any promise Of

An early ending of the struggle is pos
sible, but so far as can be judged from
indications the termination is still re-
mote.

To the average Washingtonlan the state
ment that between the White House and the
capitol lies a replica OF a little spot OF
Deaths valley, California, than which there
is no more barren desert, would seem alb
surd. And yet, this very thing can be found
In the west corner of the botanic gardens.
relates the Washington Post. A tiny spot
1t is, but true to life in every detail. Its
dry, barren sandy alkali soil is a startling
contrast to the background Of giant palms
and sacred cedars which bound 1t on the
north and west and the fragrant path
laced avn which rolls out toward the east
like a bolt Of emerald velvet, dotted here
and there with ponds of pink and white
lilies-all typical Of the moisture-laden land
OF the east, where even the commonB are
strewn with gay weeds and wild flowers.
There is no branch Of the botanic gardens
which necessitates such care and constant
trouble. No plant is so dihlcult to handle
and in some cases dangerous to work with
as the cacti. Then, too, few plants are so
delicate in this climate as them It's native
soil-undying cacti. The plants which will
endure for ages in the dry, burning air Of
the southern desert soon shrink and totter
and fall to the ground a rotten harmless
trunk when exposed to the cold rains and
sudden changes of our eastern climate.
When the first SHOWS of winter approach,
the desert spot is denuded Of its thorny
plants and the rare collection is placed in
alright glass Conservatives When this
work starts the most trying and painful
isbUrs vi the botanic gardeners begin. The
heaviest of buckskin gloves do not protect
the hands from the stabs of these plants,
aud for days after the clearing of the
desert many Of the workmen and the su-
perintendent are seen with bandaged hands.
However, although the cuts from these cacti
are extremely painful. only two Of them are
dangerously poisonous, the two varieties Of
the euphorbia lactea monstrosa, the Juice
Of which Is very venomous. The Arizona
and Mexican prickly pears are extremely
brittle and IN handling them their leaves
frequently snap and fall upon the workmen.
They pierce the clothing and are buried
deep into the flesh, making ugly fostering
wounds. fs
