nance Of Louis J. Patti, with the cap
tion: "He Is not Inscriptions, but the
brilliant, brainy, fearless leader Of the
Douglas county democracy"
The editorial screed Of the Douglas coun-
tyites starts out in an optimistic vein.
with the assertion that with a leadership
worthy OF and commanding the respect of
the rank and file of the party, there is
little IL any doubt that the democrats of
Omaha will be able to carry the municipal
election in the spring" Then comes this
Jolt in the ribs Of the Howell -Herdman
faction:
If the same coterie of conscienceless and
In the foreground Of the party's perspec-
tive in this city and county for the past
few years, are to be continued as the
manipulators of the party machinery, there
Is absolutely no hope for success and the
taxpayers who have looked in vain to the
republicans for an intelligent and honest
nicipality will stay away from the polls
in despair rather than turn with any hope
for relief to an opposition party which in
sists upon further allegiance to wholly dis
credited leaders.
The round ends with an uppercut, ex-
ecuted as follows:
1t is a matter or common report that these
leaders, managers, in fact, Of the late cam
paign, actually undertook to barter away
to the corporations the prospective demo.
cratic members of the legislature. Demo.
cratic candidates on the legislative ticket
were told that their campaign assessments
would be paid by corporation agents, pro.
vided they would pledge themselves to dc
| the bidding of these corporations in the
event of their election. The candidates, Il
may be said to their honor and to the
| pride of the party Indignantly rejected this
proposition of their campaign managers tC

eRocERS FEAR CORPORATIONS
Look to Them and Not Tabor Unions
to Oppose the Gnrnish-
ment Law.

1T is not the opposition OF the unions
which we fear in the matter Of securing an
extension of the garnishment law" said
prominent member of the Retail Grocers'
association yesterday, ''but the opposition
of the corporations. The labor unions do
not control enough votes in the legislature
to make them a factor in the matter, and
we control enough to give us considerable
power, so that by tying up with one or two
other interests we could secure the law we
desire; but the large corporations all are
opposed to any modification Of the law. AS
one of the laboring men said they object to
having their managers brought into court
in garnishment proceedings, and as long
as the law remains In it's present condi-
tion they are immune. They have always
at the legislature men who are there to
look after their interests, and at the last
session Of the legislature we experienced
their power when the bill we introduced
was brought up.
I'VE would like to cooperate with the
laboring men-at least to have them on our
side of the controversy, for by this means
we might be able to influence a number Of
votes of those who are not bound either by
the corporations or the association. We're
the opposition OF the corporations out Of
1.-THE child labor law and the female labor
law are as much to us as they are to the
laboring men themselves. The children
should be in the schools and women should
not be permitted to work more than ten
hours day in the stores. When you look
at it in the light of experience 1t is found
that as q rule the woman who works in the
stores and factories for ten hours a day
works three or four hours longer after she
goes home, and this means longer hours
than any man would consent to work. We
will stand for those laws regardless of the
action Of the unions in the matter Of the
garnishment law"
The retail grocers have indorsed the
bulk" law, which is desired by the whole
sale houses doing business in the state
This law is similar to one passed by the
Ohio legislature, which makes 1t the duty
OF any merchant in the state to notify al
OF his creditors when he has made arrange
! lnents to sell his stock OF goods in bulk
| that is to dispose Of his business either al
| a going house or otherwise. This notice
must be given before the sale takes place
SO that creditors can protect their interests
| In the stock. One feature OF the law may
\ be a provision giving the jobber the righ
to recover from the retail merchant tn,
| identical goods sold which are unpaid for
the claim Of the jobber upon these good
being superior to those of general creditors
This feature is urged by many of th'
friends Of the measure. while 1t is oppose'
| by others. the opponents principally beinr
persons who deal in perishable goods, whicl
are valueless after they have been in stool
any length of time. These merchants fee
that they should have an equitable hel
upon all OF the stock and not upon specin
items, as the goods they have sold will b
disposed of more rapidly and II not sol
will be worth little or nothing.

INTERNAL WAR is IMMINENT
Douglas County Democracy Chal-
IenEes JacksOnian Club to
Mortal Combat.

The democrats Of Omaha are getting to-
gether in the good old fashioned way for
the municipal campaign in the spring. For
some time the commanding generals OF
the Douglas county democracy and Jack
sonian forces have been in tranquil mood,
and there has been no disturbance on the
surface to indicate an impending battle.
That a hot time is imminent. however, Is
shown by an editorial in the oficial organ
Of the county democracy, in which II is
charged that the Jacksonian faction, which
is now in control Of the party machinery,
is guilty Of all kinds Of corruption and
veniality. The Douglas eOuntyites. being
on the outside, make an impassioned plea
TO the rank and file to "depose the un-
scrupulous leaders" and then on the front
page Of their organ present the eounts-

Some years later Noah got exclusive
control Of live stock and passenger trans
portation, but the damp late spring OF that
year ruined the wheat crop In Rhode Island

he report It to somebody who will put II
