Lest We Forget.

While that judgment for S6,263,-
295.49 brought on by the foolhardy
Encouragement of the Water board is
hanging over Omaha and no one ven
turing to say what the next step will
be, let us recall few points of recent
history.
When the proposition of $6,500,00
of 4 per cent bonds was put up to us
last year the Water board, over the
signatures of all it's members, issued
an appeal to the public explaining why
the bonds should carry, in which,
among other things, they said:
We cannot and will not use the $4,000 900
of bonds heretofore voted.
1t is important that the bonds be voted
now that the Water board may be in posi-
ton to make immediate compromise of the
litigation, If this is possible.
If immediate compromise cannot be
made 1t is equally important that the
bonds be voted that the Water board may
be in position to pay the amount found
due by the United States supreme court,
If the bonds are voted, they will not be
issued, nor will they bear interest until
the water works are acquired by the city
No more of said bonds will in any case
be issued than are actually necessary for
the acquisition of the plant.
Should the decision of the supreme court
be against the city, a decree will be en-
tered which must be paid. The city can
not avoid the payment of such judgment
by refusing to vote bonds. The judgment
would be enforced by levy of taxes on
the property of the citizens. II the bonds
are voted the judgment can be paid by
the proceeds of the bonds and the interest
and expense of running the water works
Will be paid out of the revenues derived
from the sale of water. without additional
taxes on the property of the city.
OF course, the Water board and it's
members have made whole lot of
statements during the seven years of
the proceedings for immediate" pur-
chase of the water works that they
have had to gig back on. To go back
on these representations on which the
people were induced to vote the So
100000 bonds would put them very
much in the attitude of obtaining
money under false pretenses.

Gillett Right, Mccarthy Wrong.

II thertraveling mayor of San Fran
cisco is a wise man he will cool down
and say nothing more about my
town" in connection with Governor
Gillett's order to prohibit the prize
fight, for the governors action is my
towns" opportunity for redemption.
1t is one thing for Mayor Mccarthy to
make loud declarations in a Chicago
depot and quite another thing for him
to intercept the authority of the state
government, backed, as 1t undoubtedly
is, by the popular sentiment of the peo-
pie, 80 the best he can hope to do is to
make a show of himself and reflect nc
credit upon San Francisco.
Governor Gillett, manifestly, was
influenced by pressure from Washing
ton, clearly indicating that II San
Francisco expects aid from congress in
securing the Panama-Pacific exposition
1t will have to turn it's back on the
prize fight. That the governors
action will strike a popular chord IN
the state is, of course, foregone con,
clusion. An exhibition OF brute force
already under the ban of law in most
states, has no place in comparison with

tive to have chosen prize fight in
preference to this exposition. What
criticism now comes of the governors
action can only be regarded as the
howl of the mob.
Undoubtedly this marks the begin
ming of the end of prize fighting in
California. The next legislature will
be almost Obliged to enact a law
against IT, and that will constitute a
tremendous example for Nevada,
where sentiment is already undergo
ing a change toward such things
People everywhere are beginning to
see that a prize fighter as such is a
thoroughly useless member of society
He contributes nothing at all to the
sum total of good, but adds much to
the aggregate of evil. And this prize
fight is the climax Of disgraceful con.
tests. Everything connected with 1t
smacks of the illegitimate and gives
off the one impression that it is a
gigantic money-making scheme and
little else. 1t may not be prevented,
but it probably will not come off in
California, and that will be all the vic
tory that law and order need care to
achieve at this time. The rest of the
battle win be easy. Evil that must
depend on public sufferance Tor its ex-
istence can hope to exist but little
while at best.

STRINGS ON PARTY FEALTY.
How the Interest Sidetracked "StOcIS
Issue" Regulation.

Pittsburg Despatch.
The excuse that is presented by the
leaders of the senate for refusing to leave
in the railroad bill the provision with re-
gard to the regulation of stock and bond
issues raises a unique question in political
ethics. AS given TO the public this excuse
is that the democratic senators will not
vote for the bill with such a section in IL,
as they believe 1t to be an invasion of
the domain of state legislation.
But almost everyone who considers the
question must have seen that the demo-
cratic senators are not in a majority, and
to exclude a provision on account of the
convictions OF the opposition is a novel
phase of legislation by parties. If the
organization senators will vote with the
progTessives or insurgents for this pur-
pose there viii be no difficulty in passing
the bill
The fact is stated by the New York
Tribune that there Is a bargain between
the Aldrich wing and certain so-called
democrats to defeat what are termed
radical enactments in the bill. The excuse
then takes the phase that on account OF a
bargain with the minority the professed
party leaders intend to defeat provision
called for by the republican platform in
order to gain votes to defeat certain other
provisions not excluded by the republican
platform.
There rarely is more salient example
OF the fact that party authority and party
lines are binding on the men who make
most of the professional party loyalty,
only so long as it suits their personal in
terests and prejudices. AS a matter Of fact
the senators making this excuse are as
much opposed 10 the provision against
stock watering as the democrats on whom
they put the responsibility. They are OPP
posed to It because the great interest of
emitting fiat stocks is the power that
maintains them.

A ROSE.

A bud-pnk, graceful, sweet
on Bonded stalk of dainty green,
A bud that sunset glows might meet
And find its match in sweetest color
A bud,-'tis in its youth, and now
1t sents the air, so Sweet-though faint.
And its pure heart and fineness would
allow
Its presence next the cheek of purest
saint.
A full blown blossom-'tis a rose
In its great splendor rocks and sways
On graceful stalk In graceful pose,
And thus 1t lives through summer days
A rose in summertime of life
A flower that knows no care or pain,
Knows nothing of our mortal strife
But knows the sun and cooling rain.
A rose-its heart has had a tiny blight,
The world Is not so sweet as days of yore.
1t seems as If it's nearly always night,
1t longs to bloom on the celestial shore
A rose-it weeps; its petals fall;
1t wants 70 die and bloom in heavenly
lands;
It's glad, at last to hear the call,
For earth once rich, seems now like vast
ing sands.
A rose? All no; tits but a rod,
And yet IL is not wholly gone
IT'S but a proof of the great love of God,
Its duty in the world is not yet done.
A rose? All, no; It's but a heart,
The wind will blow it onward DER the

Yet who but God can estimate Its worthl

ANOTHER PINCH IN PROSPECT.
Something Coming to JOY Riders on
Swell Railroad Cars.


Springfield Republican.
Railroads east and west are considering
the matter of imposing an extra mileage
charge on passengers taking sleeping or
parlor car accommodations. Their position
is that they must have more revenue, and
that increased charges should be placed
where they are most easily borne, The
passenger who can afford to buy sleeping
and parlor car passage is presumably bet
ter able to pay am increased rate for trav-
cling than one who puts up with a day
coach, A committee representing several
of the principal trunk lines is at work on
the subject. s5Fhfs proposal will be heard
with more favor If ordinary passenger
rates are not raised than it will be II they
are to be raised also. II meantime Pull

TRAIN CONTROL ny WIRELESS.
Revolution in TeleEraphy on the
Union Pacific.

revolution In IeleHrnphy on the
Union Pacific.
Philadelphia Record.
Wireless telegraphy will soon be employed
by the Union Pacific railway for train
signaling and other official business. The
advantages thereof in country of mag
nificent distances frequently visited by
storms are obvious enough. 1t makes for
greater safety in the terrific winds that
blow on the plains. When wires go down
before a gale it is risky business to keep
trains moving. The electric wave generated
by the aerial transmitter are not affected
by the most tempestuous gust; hail and
snow signify nothing for them. 1t will be
possible at all times and under all weather
conditions to transmit messages. 1t is
claimed that the new system will effect a
considerable saving; and one can well be-
lieve that when the cost of wire and the
wages Of corps of linemen, all Of which
will be eliminated, are taken into account,
where there are many wireless stations and
there Is a possibility of much interference,
wireless telegraphy might not be as useful
in railroad work as out on the wlndswept
and sparsely populated plains. On the
Union Pacific system, however, all trans
mission difficulties are said to have been
solved so that even the objections alluded
to would no longer stand in the way of en-
ploying this method in congested regions.

CHAMPION FOR A DAY.
Outburst of Enthusinsm for the Lat
est MRnbird.

Baltimore American.
Without doubt the latest champion in
the aerial world, the man who has made
aviation as easy and graceful as the flight
of birds, the Incompatible Charles K, Ham
ilton, is worthy to be rated as an epoch
maker. His flight from New York TO
Philadelphia, the time from the metropolis
to the Quaker City being one hour and
forty-seven minutes for the eighty-six mile
flight, almost challenges belief. Incredulity
as to the victories to be gained by the air
flyers has the footing taken from under
it when this man, a phenomenal goer,
makes a marvelously sustained long-dis-
tance flight performing all the evolutions
of bird, In scarcely more space than is
required for the feathered flyers. Hamilton
has made the feats of other flyers come
monplace. The failure of a motor while 1t
delayed his return trip did not prevent
him from winning the prize of $4,000 offered
by the New York Times. He is worthy
of the name of Manbird, as he has prac-
tically paralleled the achievements OF the
birds of the air, even when a strong wind
was blowing. What now remains? Swltness
and duration have been made good. Air
new mode Of flight will enter into transpor-
tation remains to be seen. AS far as it's
sport and recreative features are concerned
1t is almost as we'll established as automo-
billing. AS to its military uses, as to the
results to be wrought out in traffic, these
matters remain to be disclosed by further
developments. The advent OF Hamilton has
removed the objections raised as to the
lack of mobility, reliability and flexibility,
as we'll as power OF sustained flights that
have been brought against aeroplanes.
