When Erastus Benson consented to
become the candidate of the populists
for mayor Of Omaha he must have
known that he could not with any de-
gree Of decency ask for support from
republicans. While it is true that Mr..
Benson has nothing in common with
populists, his appeal for populist sup
port and his willingness to sail under
false colors indicates that he has no po-
litical convictions that he is not willing
to barter away even for the empty
bauble Of a populist nomination.

CoNNELL AND BRIGHT.

The friends of @. O. Wright are in a
poor position to assail City Attorney
Cornell on the score Of home rule or mu-
nicipal ownership. The right of the city
of Omaha to local self-goYernment and
municipal ownership has always found
in City Attorney Connell a faithful and
able advocate. On the other hand, the
persistent opponent of home rule or al

Of acquiring desired franchises and

was City Attorney Connell who vindi-
Gated before the supreme court the
right of home rule in the fire and police
commission case, 1t was Carl Wright
who overturned this decision in the Re
dell case. 1t is City Attorney Connell
who is now doing valient service to
vindicate again the right of the people
OF Omaha to select their own fire and
police commissioners without interior
ence by the governor. 1t is Carl Wright
who is now endeayoring to sacrifice the
rights OF the people that he may main

Cleveland on the Race Problem.
News.

Mr.. Cleveland, as might have been ex-
pected, takes a rational and hopeful view
Of the race problem. The rapidly growing
belief that the negro must make his own
place In the world by his own efforts, and
that It is not necessary or desirable that
he be continually lifted, except by the
ordinary education that all receive, is
doing more to end the race problem than
all the misdirected enthusiasm Of the last

Ex-Governor Merriam Of Minnesota
in a public speech expresses himself as
free from all ap-prehensions of danger
to the country from the consolidation
and concentration Of industry in the
hands of men of the highest experience
and of great financial strength. Ex-Gov-
ernor Merriam has just given up his
position as head Of the Census office
to associate himself with a big eastern
corporation and his present point Of
view is naturally favorable to cor
porate consolidation. The temper Of
the people Of Minnesota, however, If
we car judge from the part played by
that state in heading of the Northern
Securities movement, is hardly in ac-
cord with the ideas thus advanced.
There is not a state in the union more
thoroughly aroused than Minnesota to
the dangers Of u~nrestrained trusts and
nothing Ex-Governor Merriam can now
say is likely to change 1t around.

by the fact that another bunch OF trust
