THE WATER WORKS ADVERTISEMENT

A'1D " n nv " VII = . az hhApN4nbIAs
When the compulsory water works
purchase bill was railroaded through
the legislature three years ago under
pretext that it would expedite the &C
QUESTION of the water works. 1t was
pointed out by The Bee that the meas
ure was ill-advised and calculated to
retard rather than expedite the pur-
chase of the water works 1t was,
moreover, pointed out that the COM
pulsory water works purchase bill es-
tablished a dangerous precedent by
compelling the city of Omaha to pur-
chase public improvements involving
an outlay or millions of dollars at
the dictation Of legislature and incl
dentally constituted a fragrant viola
ton of the principle of home rule by
creating a governor-appointed board,
with almost unlimited power to i'm
pose upon the taxpayers needless bur
dens before it had any water works
to supervise or operate.
Time has INDICATED The Bees po-
sition. Instead of expediting the &C
QUESTION of the works and reducing
the burden OF the taxpayers in any
particular, three years have been fritz
tered away in the process of appraise-
ment, and from $4,000 to $1OO,0
have already been added to the burden
of the taxpayers without giving them
any relief, except a temporary reduc-
| ton of water rates, which will have
to be made good by the property
owners II the decision of the appellate
court that declares the contract orig
inally made with the water company
valid and binding is sustained by the
United States supreme court, and the
chances are 100 to that it will be
sustained
At last the serious stage of the
water works issue has been reached
Two of the three appraisers have
fixed the value OF the plant at $5,614..

HEARST AVID BRIAN.

Not 20 be outdone by Colonel
Bryan. william r. Hearst has come
out with a public statement to the eff
feet that he is not a candidate for the
democratic presidential nomination in
1903. this denial being elected by the
reference to himself. among others, as
possibilities In the interview given out
by MIR. Bryan in London.
There is no question that Hearst
has presidential aspirations. as was
evidenced by the strenuous canvass to
secure the nomination in the demo-
cratic national convention in 1904, in
which he really attained the position
of a formidable candidate, nothwith-
standing the easy victory of the Parker
forces. In that convention, in which
Mr. Bryan was a delegate. the Ne
braskan seconded the nomination of
Senator Francis NJ. Cockrell of Mis-
souri,, but in doing so threw few ora
tOrical bouquets at Mr.. Hearst. which
we're taken by the latter in all serious
ness as assurances that he would have
the support of Colonel Bryan on some
other occasion.
Mr. Hearst's spectacular campaign
as an independent candidate for mayor
of New York and the present discus-
sion of his name for governor of New
York state are all regarded as but pre-
liminary to his quest of the presidency
"a quest interrupted. but not ended
by the nomination of Parker at st.
Louis. The present attitude OF Mr..
Hearst is explained in New York by
conservative democrats on the ground
that the Hearst support and the Bryan
votes must come from the same source
and that the projection of a Bryan
boom at this stage makes 1t practically
impossible for Mr.. Hearst to get foot
hold or gain any Roadway against it..
Mr. Hearst has likewise to contend
against the opposition of Tammany
hall, which has. by no means forgiven
his opposition to Mayor Mcclellan, as
the regular Tammany nominee, and
which is sure to enlist in the Bryan
column, taking its chances upon recog-
milton from the nominee should a dem
ocratic president ever reach the White
House.
1t must therefore, be a rather en-
barrassing position in which Mr..
Hearst finds himself, but he is cleverly
doing the only thing left for him to do
in declaring that he is not to be con-
sidered a candidate and catering in
this manner to the Bryan element. In
so doing he is without question ami
mated by the idea that he may yet be
the heir apparent and successor if by
any realignment of circumstances Col
onel Bryan should drop out of the
race at any time before the critical
moment. 1t is a safe assumption thai
Mr.. Hearst will watch Colonel Bryan
with a solicitous eye and Colone
Bryan will do we'll to keep his optics
upon Mr.. Hearst.
