The republicans have captured
the Rhode Island legislature at last,
and democrats who have been ex
pecting to get state offices are thus
left hopelessly outside of the breastworks.
The Chicago newspapers are un
sparing in their exposure of the
numerous devices for entrapping
unwary visitors, and their work is
bearing fruit. Extortionate charges
have already been reduced and many
abuses corrected. A courageous
press is a potent factor in these days
of enlightment
Thebe is not likely to be any
further reduction of the public debt
for some time to come, but the peo
ple will remember the splendid
services of the last administration
in that respect, and look hopefully
forward to the advent of another
one of similar methods and tendencies.
The pension policy of the ad
ministration seems to be to evade
the execution of laws legally enacted
and send veteran pensioners to
death under a cowardly spy system
that would disgrace any civilized
nation upon the globe. Every spy
turned loose will try to earn his
salary, and lying will be the cheapest
asset of the democratic )arty.
New York advices state that
President Cleveland now has under
advisement a proposition for an
extra session of congress in June.
The President s rascillation has in
jured the business interests of the
country, and he is afraid to call an
extra session unless it should be
absolutely necessary for fear that
the silver debate would disrupt the
party.
Either rascality ' or inefficiency
is responsible for nearly all the
bank failures that have occurred in
this country in the past ten davs.
It is entirely safe to say that there
is neither rascality nor inefficiency
in tne management of more than
one out of a hundred or two hun
dred of the banks of the country.
In the aggregate the hanks are solid
and welL conducted.

Ok Monday the United States
supreme court sustained the decision
of the New York courts in favor of
the constitutionality of the Geary
Chinese exclusion act. Speaking
of the matter the iee says: The
court did not, of course, express any
opinion as to the wisdom or justice
. of the law. As to the general
public opinion outside of the Pacific
coast states, it is pretty safe to say
that it will be on the side of the
' minority of the court What the
effect of the decision will be upon
our relations with the Chinese gov
ernment is problematical, but the
probabilities are that that govern
ment will adopt a policy of retalia
tion which may be disastrous to
American interests in China. While
the Chinese government does not
encourage the immigration of its
people and while it has shown great
;forbearehcein respect to fthe dis
- crimination against the Chinese in
the United States, there is reason to
-believe that it will not longer
tamely submit to what it has come
to regard as an unjust and unwar

decision it will not be surprising if

Sheriff D. A Baker of North
Platte came to Lincoln this week
to get a few dollars from the state
which belonged to him under the
constitution. He had vouchers to
show that in the performance of
his officials duties he had paid out
more than $200 of his own good
money in the pursuit of lawbreakers,
which together with his per diem
and mileage, made $319 due from
Nebraska. But, though his work
was performed months ago, when
he knocked at the door of the treas
ury, it did not open. There was no
appropnation to pay these just
claims. Twenty-hve hundred each
for impeachment attorneys, but not
a cent to reimburse county sheriffs
for cash advanced in the interest of
justice! Seven thousand dollars
for spurious pop contest expenses
and nary a red for the payment of
honest debts! Baker swore. He
had a right to, and then he took
the tram for home and will wait
two years more in the hope that
enough honest men will be elected
to the legislature to redeem the
state. State Journal.
