TO FEDERAL COURTS , The sltitomont of the attorney Ron oral of the United Statoa that in portions tions of the country there hits been shown such hostility to the federal courts and officers as to seriously inter fere with the administration ot Justice , presents a mnttcr of the very gravest Importance For the most part this hostility has boon developed in election casi.s , whore fcdoral prosecuting attor neys prosecuted against persons who had violated the oioctlon laws , but it has not boon confluent to this class ot cases The attorney general says : But it must not bo supposed that hostility to the United States courts ami United States officers is conllncd to election mutters On the contrary , the records of the depart ment of J'jstico show that in some districts the civil proceedings of these courts and criminal prosecutions wholly disconnected with the olcotlvo franchise cannot proceed , because the lives of necessary witnesses nro in such d.uisrcr that it would be simply In human to enforce tuoir nUcrulancj anj the RiviiiR of tnelr testimony ; while the ovldonco is abundant that in certain localities no oc cupation is so dangerous ns n faithful per formance of duty by United States marshals Of course such lawlessness cannot bo toler ated In every uata the instructions to prosecute have lioen couptoj with the as surance that no means within the power of this dopartmotit will bo spared to protect of ficers nnd witnesses In the discharge of their duties , nnd to bring to punishment every man who illegally attempts to thwart such prosecutions Certainly this Is a matter which should deeply interest every citizen who doslros the consorvattolt of law nnd the constitutional exercise ot the national authority Great as is the wrong Involved in depriving citizens of their political rights , it is not a more serious matter than that ot interfering with and defeating the administration • of justice in the fcdoral courts , and the toleration of such interference any wlicro , under whatever circumstances , is to invite the growth of n inoro for midable danger to the perpetuity of our institutions than coultl arise from any other cause If anywhere in this land justice is compelled to abandon the pursuit ot those who vlolato the laws because the Uvo3 ot the ollicors of the law and those who are necessary to the prosecution of the criminals will be imperilled if they perform their duty , there is a place where the power ot the government cannot bo carried too fur nor exerted too rigor ously for the removal of the evil and every loyal and law-respocttng citizen would sustain the mostcxtromo measure found necessary to protect the courts and the olllcors acting under them In the discharge of their proper functions It cannot bo necessary to indicate in what portion of the country the out rages noted by the attorney general nave occurred , but no matter whore the spirit of hostility to federal courts and officers of justice exists , and makes itself felt In a way to contravene the enforcement of the laws aud defeat justice , It is the obvious duty of the government , and absolutely necessary to the maintenance of a general public respect for the laws , to crush out such hostility by the use , if necessary , of every power at the command of the government Whatever diversity of opinion there may bo as to the wisdom and expediency of a federal election law to protect ull cities in the free choice of their representatives there will be none regarding the overshadowing noccssity of so guarding the national courts and these acting under their authority and subject to their commands that the ad ministration of justice shall everywhere aud at all times bo free from all checker or obstruction TUB 1IOU&E COMMIITfiVS There is no moro difficult or import ant task devolved on the speaker of the house of representatives than that of making up the standing committees Thoclnlmsof individuals , the welfare of party and of politics , the interests of legislation , the precedents , all have to bo taken into consideration Most speakers h.tvo found this task l > oth laborious and embarrassing , and it has sometimes happened that a month or inoro has boon consumed In completing it , as was the case with Mr Carlisle in appointingthocommitteesof the fiftieth congress Speaker Reed has accomp lished the mo3t important part of this work with exceptional promptness , the leading committees being already an- nbunced The suloetiont for the heads of these committocs are the gentlemen whoso appointment hud been expected Mr McKinley of Ohio is chairman of the ways and means committee , with Mr Burrows ot Michigan in second place , and these gentlemen will have among their democratic associates Mr Carlisle of Koutucky and Mr Mills of Texas The republican membership cf the ways and moans committee Is not roassuringfor tv tariff bill that will re vise the existing schedule In the direc tion of lower duties and au enlarged free list to the oxtotit dosirbd by a largo portion of the republican party , and justified by present conditions The attitude of Mr McKinley , who will bo the controlling spirit among the repub lican members of the committee , 1h well known to ho that of pronounced oppo sition to any considerable reductions in tariff duties It was understood that ho did not approve of many ot the ohangos reducing duties in the semite bill of the last congress , and his tariff speeches in Ohio during the late campaign showed that ho was not In sympathy with the reform sontlmont In his own party Ho is distinctively the champion , and perhaps the ablest in the country , of the high protective policy It is pos sible , however , that the position of the administration regarding the tariff , as vvoll as of a largo body of republicans in Now England and the west , may load Mr McKinley to somewhat modify his views , and to ngrco to such a revision of the tariff us will prune It ot such duties as are no longer necessary to the pro tection of domestic industries , but serve only to enable manufacturers to exact an unwarrntitabla nnd unjust tribute from the people , Mr Cannon of Illinois is chairman of the committee on appropriations , a po sition of honor nnd responsibility which that gentleman will undoubtedly fill with great ability While Mr Ran dall was at the head of this committee ho oxoruisod a greater power oyer the course .of logislutiou , at particular Junctures , than any ether ono man In the house , nnd so objoctlonnblo did his tactics bceomo to his own party that an effort was made at the oponlng of the Fiftieth con gress , by changing the rules , to greatly reduce his power to Interfere with the course of legislation Tliero will prob ably bo no occasion for the ropubllcntis to find a ltko fault with Mr Cannon , but the country may safely expect of him a vigilant and judicious guardian ship ot iho public treasury Mr Ilcn- dorson of Iown Is a member of this committee , and will take proper care of western Interests which it may bo called upon to consldor Mr Kelley of Pennsylvania , the father of the house , " Is glvon merited recognition as chairman ot the commlttco on inatitt- fncturos , a position doubtless entirely ngrccablo to hlin as not being especially arduous , and yet of dignity nntt impor tance Mr Itcod hnB followed precedent In providing for his competitors in the speakership contest , and the result will bo very generally upproved by ropubll cntis tim STATE FAIR The state board of ngrlculturo , at its mutual mooting January ill , will decide where the state fair shall bo hold lor the ensuing five years Tliero promises to bo six competitors , Omaha , Lincoln , Hastings , Kcnrney , Grand Island and Columbus Lincoln hns good grounds and buildings , and her competitors for the fair must bo proKirod | to guarantee equally favorable facilities and accom modations This would involve an ox- pcnulturo of not loss tlinn one hundred nnd fifty * " thousand dollars Omaha should bo able tp readily raise this sum , and moro if necessary , in order to sccuro the great advantngo that would bo derived from having the fair hero It ought to bo obvious to our business men that-such an annual at traction to the whole people of Ne braska and to many of these of contigu ous states would most certainly nssuro a handsome return on an expenditure ot ono hundred and fifty or two hundred thousand del lars Nothing draws so largely lib a state fair , and the great majority of these who attend it unite business with pleas uro If Omaha seriously desires to sccuro this great attract'on prompt ac- tiou is necessary There is but little more than a month for the work of scouring subscriptions , nnd while that ought to bo tlmo enough , if our business men take a proper and practical inter est in the matter , none ot it should be wasted Committees of the Douglas county agricultural society , the Omaha fair association , and the board of trade presented the matter to ti moot ing of the board last night It was de cided to make a bid of two hundred thousand dollars to socurc the fair It is not doubted that there is n strong sentiment throughout the state favorable to Omaha , and if this city manifests a liberal spirit its chances of securing the fair should bo first rate But the competition to overcome is formidable , and Omaha can succeed only by supporting her superior claims , as the metropolis of the state , with a generous financial backing ' promptly provided _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 'Sl'Al'AT HOME The
