B~RoATCHIsM

The Broatch police board has once
more shown its hand. The provisions
of the charter relating to the govern
ment of the police and fire departments
contemplate the enforcement of civil
service rules, which rest upon the key
stone Of mo removal except for cause"
That principle has been repeatedly up
held by decisions of the courts when po-
llcemen who were summary removed
without have secured judgments
against the city for salaries after their
discharge on the ground Of retrench-
ment. With all these precedents and
judicial decisions before 1t, the police
board has dismissed sixteen policemen,
most of whom had been many years in
the service, by a resolution declaring
that they were permanently discharged
for lack of funds. At the same meeting
the sham reform board granted leave of
absence with pay to a police officer, thus
giving the lie to its false pretenslons.
The board doubtless had a right TO de-
crease the force temporarily If the funds
ut its disposal were not sufficient to re-
tain the ordinary force In active service.
II 1t became necessary to lay off sixteen
men, the sixteen patrolmen who had
beer enrolled most recently should, by
rights, have been granted temporary
leave of absence. That, however, did
not serve the purpose Of the .Broatch
board. Such a condition could not ex-
tend beyond the new year, or, at the
worst, for ninety days, but the Broatch
police board has shown no disposition to
live up to the spirit or letter Of the law.
Quite the reverse. Its manifest purpose
is to reorganize the police and make 1t
subservient to promote the ambition of
W. ]. Broatch to become mayor of
Omaha. Just such conduct-radically at
variance with the spirit and letter of
the law-emphasizes the imperative de-
mand for home rule and legislation that
will make it impossible for police boards
to accomplish by indirection and chican-
cry what is forbidden to be done by d.
rect action.
So long as the police force remains as
a mere foot ball and plaything for police
commissioners there can be no incentive
to ambition. When policemen are guar
anteed stability of employment during
good behavior and promotion according
to merit the city will enjoy efficient po-
lice protection.

A SIGNIFICANT SUGGESTION.

President Roosevelt is credited with
saying that "the people have given the
republican party a chance to make
good" The remark seems characteristic
and at any rate is significant. What has
the republican party to do in order to
"make goodT"
In the last national platform Of the
party 1t is declared that 1--WE condemn
all conspiracies and combinations in
tended to restrict business, to create
monopolies, to limit production or to
control prices, and favor such legisla-
ton as will effectually restrain and pre-
vent all such abuses. protect and pro-
mote competition and secure the rights
of producers, laborers and all who are
engaged in industry and m One
of the most important duties before the
republican party is to make good this
declaration and the people expect this
to be done and without unnecessary
delay. The platform favored the policy
of reciprocity, 80 directed as to open
our markets on favorable terms for
what we do not ourselves produce in
return for free foreign markets" This
policy was strongly advocated by Presi-
lent Mckinley in his last ~deliverance to
his countrymen, in which he said that 1t
was essential to the maintenance and
growth of our foreign commerce.. 1t has
the support of the present administra-
ton, as shown by the fact that 1t has re-
Gently secured the extension of several
reciprocity treaties to cover the short
session Of congress. All who are con-
cerned in the extension Of foreign trade,
all who believe with Mckinley that
reciprocity is the natural outgrowth of
our wonderful industrial development
under the domestic policy now firmly
established" will expect the republican
party to make good" in regard to this
policy. Another thing. and by no means
the least important, which the repub-
amending the interstate law
so as TO increase the power Of the com.
mission and better enable II to remedy
the determinations and other abuses
on the part of common carriers that now
exist.
The republican party stands firmly by
the policy Of protection TO American
industries and labor and this position
has again been endorsed by a majority
Of the people. Therefore protection will
be maintained, but this does not neces
sarily mean that there will be no chang,
or modification in any schedule of the
existing tariff. 1t is of course not at al
probable that at the coming short ses
sion any serious attempt will be mad,
to change the tarif. Very likely tn,
matter will receive no consideration
whatever. But it is extremely probabl,
that there will be notifications of som,
OF the schedules by the Fifty-eighth con
gress. The paramount question upol
which the republican party must 'mak,
/ good" In order to hold popular conf
dence and support is that Of the reguls
ton and supervision Of the combination
or trusts. 1t has given the country al
unqualified pledge In regard to thi
which 1t cannot afford to disregard

A STILL DAY IN AUTUMN.
Sarah Helen Whitman.

Sarah Helen Whitman,
I love TO wander through the woodlands
In the soft gloom of an autumnal day,
When summer gathers up her robes of glory
And, like a dream Of beauty, glides away.
How through each loved familiar path she
sereneiy smiling through the golden mist,
Tinting the wild grape-with her dewy hng-
TIL the cool emerald turns to amethyst,
Kindling the faint stars of the hazel, shining
With hoariy plumes the clematis entwining,
Where, Ger the rock, her withered gar
land falls,
Warm lights are on the sleepy uplands
Beneath dark clouds along the horizon
rolled,
TIL the slant sunbeams through their
fringes raining,
Battle ali the hills in melancholy gold.
The moist winds breathe of crisped leaves
In the damp hollows of the woodland
Mingiing the freshness of autumnal showers
With spicy airs from cedarn alleys blown.
Beside the brook and on the umbered mea-
Where yellow fern-tufts neck the faded
With folded lids beneath their palmy
shadow,
The gentian mods in dewy slumbers bound.
Upon those soft, fringed lids the bee sits
brooding,
Like a fond lover. 10th to say farewell;
or, with shut wings, through silken folds
intruding.
Creeps near her heart his drowsy tale to
tell.
The little birds upon the hillside lonely,
Fit noiselessly along from spray TO spray,
Silent as a sweet, wandering thought, that
only
Shows its bright wings and softly glides
away.
The scentless flowers, in the warm sunlight
dreaming,
Forget to breath their ~fullness OF delight,
And through the tranced woods soft airs
are streaming,
Still as the dew-fan OF the summer night.
So, in my heart, a sweet unwonted feeling
Stirs, like the win in oceans hollow shell,
Through all its secret chambers sadly steal
ing,
Yet hnds no words it's mystic charm to tell.

CoIoHLDO ELECTION FRAUDS

The republican press and party In
Colorado are to be commended for the
conservative attitude they have taken
with reference to the frauds in the late
election in that state. 1t is the fair,
judicial position that If the frauds al
legged to have beer committed in Denver
are proved, then the legal and political
consequences should follow, but that
the democratic legislative candidates
are not to be ousted arbitrarily and as
a matter of mere partisanship.
In any view the Colorado republicans
won a most notable victory, carrying
most of the counties, all but one of the
congressional districts the lower house
and the whole state t~icket-and this in
a state which returned a Bryan major
ity of 1882 in 1896 and of 29,O61 in
1900. Nothing but the fact that one-half
Of the membership of the state senate
holds over prevented them from carry
ing that body also, thus securing a big
majority in the legislature on joint bal
lot and the defeat of Teller for the SEN
atorship. As II is, control of the legis-
lature on joint ballot depends entirely
on the contest on the members from
Arapahoe county, in which Denver is
situated.
There is the most positive assertion Of
extensive and systematic frauds In the
democratic interest in the city Of Den
yer. They run the whole gamut of po-
ntical corruption, embracing elaborate
frauds in registration and balloting,
bribery, repeating, colonization and con-
nivance and intimidation by the demo-
cratic police and election authorities.
These crimes were promptly and spe-
c~iically charged at the time, and so
overwhelming were the proofs that coed
citizens without distinction as to party
organized in advance of the election to
expose and punish the perpetrators.
It is a difficult task to trace with
legal proof such a system of corruption
I'm all It's ramihcations, especially when
investigation tends so powerfully to ex-
cite partisan passion. The investigation,
however, is proceeding in the courts in
an orderly manner, and upon its result
will depend the contest before the legis-
lature. Whether the exposure of the
election frauds can be made legally eff
fective to defeat their u~nrighteous pur-
pose or not, it will be morally effective
to finish democratic and fusion misrule
in Colorado.

rHE sPrAKERsHlp cIMPLLeN.

There is no question that at this time
Hon. Joseph G. Cannon is the strongest
candidate for speaker Of the house of
representatives of the Fifty-eighth con-
gress, and IL Is evident that his candi-
dacy is growing in favor, particularly
in the west. He has been endorsed by
a majority of the Illinois delegation and
Of curse all the republlcans-elect from
that state to the next congress will sup
port him. 1t is stated that assurances of
support have been received from a ma
jority of republican congressman In half
a dozen other states, among them Ne
braska, Iowa and Kansas. Thus the
Cannon campaign has gotten al excel
lent start and may be expected to make
good progress from now on. Among the
most active supporters Of the Illinois
candidate is said to be Representative
Tawney of Minnesota, who had been
talked of for the speakershlp and who
will make a tour of the northwest In
the interest of Mr.. Cannon. 1t is noted
that he was n most effective worker In
behalf Of Speaker Henderson's candi-
dacy three years ago.
Meanwhile It is interesting to note the
expressions Of cordial c~ommendatlon Of
Mr.. Cannon which his candidacy for the
speakership has elected. The Philadel-
phia Press. of which Charles Emory
Smith, former postmaster general, is
editor, says: LET no n disparage
Joseph G. Cannon He is a glorious
veteran, true, straight, square. who
through a long series Of years has done
splendid service and who is justly hon
ored by all that honor courageous and
honest fidelity to the public interests"
The Springfield Republican says that
Mr.. Cannon can be depended upon to
keep a tight, hold upon the public purse;
Extravaganza in legislation is not likely
to characterize his speakership and dur
ing the next few years it may be well
the head of the house." The New York
Evening Post remarks that eff a eau
tious speaker is wanted, adverse to limo
vations and opposed to bold initiative
of any sort, Mr.. Cannon would seem
to be just the man." The Baltimore
American expresses the opinion that Mr..
Cannon in the speakers chair would
give pleasure and prompt confidence in
all parts of the country. Such express
sions show how generally and well the
able and faithful services Of Mr.. Cannon,
as chairman of the house committee on
appropriations. are appreciated.
As now indicated, the contest will
finally be between Representative Dali
zell Of Pennsylvania and Mr.. Cannon,
the other candidates dropping out.
There is some talk that the question Of
tariff revision may exert an influence
upon the choice. but this is altogether
improbable, there being no more earnest
friend of the protective policy than
Joseph G.. Cannon.
