The Platte river power canal opposite
to Fremont has been projected to the
front M more with the assurance that
the capital to float the project has all
been secured and that within eighteen
months Omaha, South Omaha and Coun-
ell Bluffs are to be supplied with cheap
motive power. IL not with cheaper light.
This is cheering news. providing II
proves true. Cheap power and light
have been Omaha's long felt want these
many years and we are not particular
where it comes from. But this com
munity has become awfully incredulous,
especially in view Of the fact that the
latest report about the Fremont canal
emanates from Thomson-H Houston head
quarters by way Of Lincoln and Soutl

You dot the mountain, plain and shore,
You scare the sheep,
When you appear the COWS Btampede,
The horses snort and paw the mead;
Like other things In nightmare Eeen,
You're red and blue and pink and green
You cause the flesh TO creep.

So at the knees,
And in the seat they seem TO sag,
And do not please.

For now and then you AXE up slack.

1t is very easy to figure out how a
new city hall in South Omaha could be
built at a lower cost in interest than the
town is now paying in the shape of
rent, but the enthusiastic figurers Of the
twin city don't figure that the build
ing Of a city hall will promote jobbery
and overlaps, besides entailing a greater
expense for maintenance in the shape Of
all-around supernumeraries than the
whole rent comes to now.

The charge so often made and as
often denied that the trades unions not
only c~ountenance violence, but also pro-
tect lawbreakers in offenses committed
in the interest of the unions finds pecu-
liar refutation in the following account
Of a murder trial printed in Saturdays
issue of the Chicago Chronicle, a paper
outspoken both in its subserviency to
~capitalistic combines and in its antag-
onism to organized labor:
Abraham Covert. a union teamster, was
found guilty Of manslaughter yesterday
afternoon by a jury in Judge McEwen's
court. Covert killed Samuel Gates, a
South Water street commission merchant,
at the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
road freight depot. Union troubles caused
Gates TO drive to the depot to receive a
shipment OF produce. This brought on a
quarrel in which Covert struck and killed
Gates. Prosecutor Frank Grove accepted
on the jury Ave union men. They were
such men are a detriment TO the labor
unions" said one OF the union Jurors.
This case must certainly have been
an extreme one, but it affords striking
proof that as a whole American trades
~unionists are law respecting and de-
termined that their unions shall not be
come a cloak or an excuse for lawless-
ness no matter what the incentive.

In selecting a lawyer to represent the
city in the railroad tax cases care must
be taken to get a man without railroad
strings upon him. All the railroads have
a community Of interest in taxshirking
and all the railroad lawyers will hang
together. II such a thing is possible, the
attorney who represents the city should
have property interests Of his own that
would give him almost the same in

conducting the case for himself.
