HARRISON AND JOHNSON sooMs.


Announcement comes from Boston of
a movement among a faction of Massa-
chusetts democrats in favor of Carter
Harrison for president, with Josiah
Quincy of that state as his running
mate. While Chicago's mayor hardly
measures up to the presidential stan
dard, 1t is the belief Of the democrats
who are endeavoring to start a boom
for him that he might be able to wrest
Illinois from the republican column, evil
IDENTIFY oblivious Of tie fact that his re-
duced plurality in the last election
showed that he has lost In popularity.
AS a presidential candidate it Is ex-
tremely doubtful If Harrison could
carry Chicago, but in the present con-
dition Of the democracy he would per
haps do nearly or quite as well as a
leader next year as anybody. The de-
feat of the party is so plainly fore
Swallowed that it is of small conse-
Qrerce who it selects as a candidate.
Not much is being said about Tom L..
Johnson, but undoubtedly he is being
more or less seriously thought about by
the regulars" 1t appears probable
that II he desires to run for governor of
Ohio this year he can easily secure the
nomination, but he may not care to run
the risk Of being defeated, since defeat
would be disastrous to his chances as
a presidential possibility next year. 1t
Is suggested that in the event of the
next Ohio legislature being democratic
Johnson may be a candidate to succeed
Senator Hanna and this is by no means
improbable.
At any rate Harrison and Johnson
seem to be rather more prominent just
now in democratic attention than any
body else, but whether or not their
early booms will last any great length
of time is a question.

Governor Richards Of Wyoming has
at last backed water on his former as
sertion that Wyoming would be against
President Roosevelt for denomination in
resentment of the policy of the adj
ministration with reference to the forest
reserves and the illegal fencing of the
public domain. While Governor Rich
ards does not deny his former inter
view, he declares that he, personally,
will be for President Roosevelt, leav-
ing the inference to be drawn that there
is none the less powerful opposition to
him in the state. President Roosevelt
need have 10 a~pprehensions about
Wyoming, no matter what the disap-
pointed land grabbers do.

Fluctuations are due both to the pres

have worked together and with a cordial
understanding. II Mr.. Knox has had in his
chief a man whose firm purpose was an in

Of American lawyers. They are admirably
mated, indeed, for carrying forward the
difficult work imposed upon them by the
oath OF office, and they may be expected to
see it through, with u%nfagging zeal, to the
end. The trusts, we may be sure, are
making notes Of this and preparing to dis
pute every inch Of the way. There are no
sham battles in progress or on the cards.

There Is such a thing as OVERRIDING
things and making a farce out of plat
form declarations. The democratic
demand for 3-cent street car fares
comes undey that category. No city of
Omaha's population has yet been able
to command 3-cent street car fares
and up to date no large city in this
country has made the experiment a
success. What Omaha has a right to
demand is better service and the col
lection Of taxes. on the full market
value Of the whole street railway
property.

The stirring question in financial cir
Giles is, What will now be done by the man
ayers Of the railway systems affected by the
decision? Apparently the less they do the
safer. II they "let things drift" II they
maintain a truce tacitly understood, II they
refrain, on the one hand, from raids upon
each others business, and, on the other,
from attempts to come to formal agree
ments not to make such raids, the at
torney general may find it exceedingly dim
cult to bring them further to account. OF
course, such a situation has its difficulties
and perplexities. The agreement among
gentlemen is not a very trustworthy re-
lance.

Meanwhile 1t should be borne in mind,
particularly by the alarmed holders Of Sc

will not lose any freight by reason Of pres
ent legal complications, but will continue
to haul the tonnage which is
steadily surprising all records, and each
month the statements of earnings continue
to exceed those OF previous years until the
situation has become almost monotous.

ORGANIZING MANUFACTURERS

The coming session of the National
Association of American Manufacturers
will, it is said, have for one of it's prin-
cipal objects an effort to induce the
manufacturers of the country to or
ganize a special body for the purpose of
resisting trades-unionism. 1t is urged
that union labor has now grown to such
an extent that a counter-organlzation
among manufacturers is necessary; that
organized labor owes its present power
mainly to the support of public opinion,
which 1t has obtained through constant
agitation and appeals, and that many
people, thinking only of the working.
man, have lost sight of the issues at
stake affecting the growth Of American
industries.
1t is doubtless quite natural that man.
ufacturers should be disposed to or
ganize for the purpose Of combating
what they regard as the aggressions Of
trades-unionism. They have already
done so, as have other employers of
labor, in some localities. But the cues
49,
ton is whether such a policy will have
a tendency to remedy what the man.
f~acturers complain of and to promote
industrial peace. May it not rather
operate to stimulate the growth of or
ganized labor and increase It's power?
At present u~norganized labor is numer-
ically much greater than that which is
organized. Is it not probable that the
proposed policy would result in re-
versing this condition In a few years?
We are inclined to think that such
would inevitably be the case and it may
be doubted whether this would make
for industrial peace. There will be much
interest In the action Of the Manufac-
turers' association on this subject.

Marghareta Maar filed an amended COM
plant for divorce from Henry Maar in
Room 8. Superior Court, yesterday. Maar
is a well-known German contractor of the
city and is said to be wealthy man. His
wife demands that she be given a divorce,
$4,000 alimony and the custody of the two
minor children. She also prays that the
court order Maar to pay her sufficient sums
to maintain herself until the cause is heard
and also give her money to prosecute the
suit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Maar were married in Ger
many in 1863 and were separated on Dec. 8.
Mrs. Maar alleges in the complaint that on
that day her husband cruelty beat her and
struck her over the head with piece of
iron. She enumerates other causes for COM
plant in the petition and asks an absolute
decree.
The two minor children whom she asks
be given into her custody are Bertha Mar,
age twenty, and Fred Maar, age eighteen.
The other children in the family are Mi
chael Mar. John Maar, Maggie Flickinger,
Mary Beerman. Retta Hergt and Emma
Bollinger.
The first complaint of Mrs. Maar for a di-
vorce was filed about ten days ago, but be-
cause of clerical error it was dismissed
