II is now settled beyond a peradven-
ture Of doubt that Hon. Norris Brown
Of Kesrney will represent Nebraska in
the United States senate after March
next as the successor to Senator Mil
lard. Mr.. Brown has received his
commission at the hands of the legis-
lature, but by direct mandate of the
people expressed in their vote Of pref
erence at the polls.
This choice comes as near being an
election by direct popular vote as 1t
Is possible to be until the federal con-
stitution shall have first been amended
to make the sovereign people the cleo
torate instead of the legislature, as
now. AS a consequence Senator
Brown will assume the duties of his
ONCE freer from obligations to corpor-
ate and other special interests than
any senator who has heretofore been
commissioned by. this state. He
should be absolutely untrammelled by
entangling alliances that would pre-
vent him from voicing truly the senti-
ments of the people as whole or from
bending every effort to promote the
welfare of the state and nation ire
spective of selfish influences. Going
into the senate thus Independent and
unfettered. Senator Brown should
have every incentive to stand up cour-
ageousl5 for right and justice and to
fight the battles of the people shoulder
to shoulder with their great leader in
the White House.
The advent of Norris Brown as
United States senator takes away from
Omaha the privilege of furnishing one
of the representatives of Nebraska in
the upper branch of congress for the
first time since the state was admitted
into the union. The people Of Omaha
naturally feel the loss keenly, but
the.- have a right to do. to protect
their interests as the states metropolis
and commercial center They will not

this city to champion their rights so
far as consonant with the material
prosperity of the whole state just as
earnestly and just as energetically as
IL he resided among us. Senator
Brown has not up to this time come
into very close contact with Omaha
and its business activities, but we be-
lieve that he will cultivate more init
mate relations and will disappoint
those who have questioned his friend
illness toward our city.
Senator Brown enters the national
arena almost at a single bound. II
will depend upon him whether he will
develop in his new position and meas.

1.-THE CIVIL WAR"

Congress has done well not to per-
init itself to be led into an aerimon-
ious aud prolix controversy over the
designation of the war from 1851 to
1865 in, the preamble of a pension
bill. Whether that struggle be re-
ferred in that connection as ''the' civil
war" the war of the rebellion" or
the war between the states" is abso-
lutely immaterial to it's purpose as a
service pension measure. and passion

A point the eminent members of the
city council seem to have lost sight Of
in their wrangle over the gas com
pany's desire to increase its plant is
that the commercial interests of the
city are directly involved. To very
large extent industries of Omaha de-
pend on gas for lighting and fuel,
while the domestic arrangements OF
the city are also closely wrapped up
with the gas supply. At present the
consumption of gas Is very nearly up
to the daily output of the plant as It
exists. An increase in capacity both
for manufacturing and storing a sup
ply is imperative. The fact that the
city derives very considerable benefit
from the sales of gas should also have
weight in determining the Issue Of the
present argument. 1t is not likely
that any member of the city council
desires to stand merely as an obstruc-
ZIONIST, bat 1t is very desirable that
they should come soon to a conclusion
and no longer block the way for a
much needed improvement which the
gas company is not only willing, but is
eagerly anxious, to make.

MINORIIY'S FIRST GUN READY
Bond Issue Resolution May Have In
teresting Result.
Capitol Comment Tends Toward Pre-
dictiOn of Session Marked by
Caution i'm Legislation.

From present indications the most inn
portant matter which will occupy the
Senate next week is that embodied in the
resolutions introduced Wednesday by
Senators Culberson and Clay asking for
information bearing upon the govern
ments relief measures during the recent
period of financial stringency.
The two Democratic Senators allowed
their resolutions TO go over until Monday.
owing 10 the absence from the Senate on
Thursday of Senator Aldrich, who had
expressed a desire to be present when the
measures should come up for action. 1t
is not doubted. that the relief measures
adopted during the furry will be used by
the minority as the basis OF its first at
tack of the session upon administration
methods
The resolutions will be called up for
discussion by their authors after the
morning hour''-the first hour of each
days session-on Monday. and a lively
discussion is anticipated. The resolutions.
however. are not likely to be voted down,
as they merely call for information upon
which the further moves of the minority
will be based
NttAtiilNANS III Alt AdpAlOl GOEIlQOES IS not
favorable to the opinion that the present
session will be one Of much Importance
from the standpoint of results, Several
Senators OF usually good foresight predict
that no measure of great significance viii
be passed. and the opinion seems 10 be
held by many that currency legislation
has little chance of success. although the
activity of the Committee on Finance
and the fact that several bills bearing on
the currency question have been intro
duced do not seem to bear out this view
at present.
The tendency of a very appreciate
number Of the solons is TO let the rail-
roads and other business interests Of the
country strictly alone for the present.
and trUst-busting efforts and further en-
deavOrs 10 regulate the railroads are ex-
pected by many among the knowing ones
to come to grief at the outset Of their
careers. Filibustering is expected to be
much resOrted to during the session, with
its usual deleterious effect upon legisla-
ton
