The president ahould fill ono of the

"There Is no department of the public

statutes regulating commerce between

common Interest , while the various
groups of states have interests more or
less peculiar to themselves , the adjust
ment of which to the general system
may best bo Intrusted to those most fit.
mlllar with their local phases. " The
propriety of this view will bo unques
tioned , and the fact cited by the /Vit aa
remarkable , that since the organi
zation of the commission the west ,
as such , has had no representation on
the board , although no section of the
Hilton is moro deeply concerned in the
transportation question , or bettor en
titled to whatever benollts may be derived -
rived from an equitable execution of the
interstate commerce law , is ono that
should not bo allowed to continue.
Nothing will better serve to show tlio
justice of the claim of the west to ronrc-
SL'itlalion on tlio Interstate Commerce
commission than a statement of tlio
number of miles'of railroad in each of
the groups of states as arranged in
I'oor'd Manual' for 1801. In 1890 there
were in the New Ktigland states of
Maine , Now Hampshire , Vermont , Mas
sachusetts , Hhodo Island and Connecti
cut , G.'JSo miles of railroad ; in the Mid
dle states of New York , Now Jersey ,
Pennsylvania , Delaware and Maryland ,
19,500 miles ; in the central northern
states of Ohio , Michigan , Indiana , Illi
nois and Wisconsin , I7fi2" > miles ; in the
South Atlantic states of Virginia , West

Arkansas , Texas , Kansas , Colorado ,
Now Mexico and Indi.in country , 151,721

tana , l ! ) . ! 2.j miles ; in the Pacific states
of California , Oregon , Washington ,

0,181 miles. It is the last three irroupd ,
having an aggregate railroad mileage
of ( iO,8.'i ( ) miles , or nearly two-fifths of
the railroad rniloagoof the country , that
have never boon represented In the geographical
graphical distribution of members of the
Interstate Commerce commission , and
which now ask to bo considered in the
appointment of a successor to Judge
Cooley. The relative importance of the
vast region embraced in the southwest
ern , northwestern and Pacific groups ,
in the extent of its transportation lines
and in the rapid development of all its
interests which are affected by and do-
jiondent upon the railroads , gives to its
claim to bo represented on the commis
sion the greatest possible force , and it
would bo u mistake and tin injustice not
to rccogni/.o it.
Thcro is ra.ison to bolicvo that Presi
dent IIuiTisoii is disposed to fill ono of
the vacancies on the commission from
this section , and if such is the case ho
need have little dHHculty in finding a
man thoroughly qu ilified lor the posi

The immigration law designates
among the classes' which shall bo ex
cluded from admission into the United
States "paupers , or persons likely to become -
como a public charge , " and the law ap
parently c nfors on the immigration
commissioners full authority to deter
mine whether an alien seeking admis
sion belongs to this class. A decision
luia just been rendered in the United
States district court for the Eastern
district of Now ' York which
suggests that the power of the federal
authorities to exclude immigrants needs
to be moro clearly defined either by the
supreme court or by congress.
The case upon which the decision was
made was that of an Austrian detained
jy the acting commissioner of immigra
tion and ordered to bo returned to his
native country on tlio ground that ho
was likely to become ti public charge.
The man was a cabinet maker by trade ,
[ ) ossessed baggage to the value of a small
amount , and had never boon , according
to his own testimony , either a crim
inal or pauper. Ills animation was not ,
however , satisfactory to tlio acting com
missioner. Habeas corpus proceedings
wore instituted in the federal court and
the man released , the court holding th.it
there was not sulllciont evidence to show
that the man wns likely to becomu a
[ mblle charge , and that the refusal of an
nspccting olllcor to accept the testi
mony of an Immigrant cannot justify
the detention and enforced return
of such immigrant. The court also
lold that If congress had Intended
to authorize the commissioner of immi
gration to exclude immigrants simply
in the ground of disbelief in their stato-
nonts it would have explicitly said so.
The decision Is manifestly founded on
common sense , but none the loss is it
desirable that the language of the law
shall bo made entirely clear and relieved
of all ambiguity , otherwise an oppor
tunity is offered for working serious in
justice , as would have happened in the
iiiso of the immigrant released by the
federal court but for this judicial inter
vention.
The evidence , however , Is that danger
) f trouble from the classes excluded by
aw is steadily diminishing. A report
o the secretary of the treasury by the
commissioners of Immigration on thu
business at the port of Philadelphia for
the year ending Juno ai ) last , the ar
rivals numbering nearly 20,000 , states
that not a single Immigrant had be
come n publlo charge and no In
stance hud boon discovered of an
alien being sent to this country through
ho aid of any foreign government. This
s evidence of the good effects abroad ( if
the now law and Its moro thorough and
olllclont enforcement. Not only have
oi-olgn authorities , It would BCOUI , been
convinced that the old practice of ship-
> lng criminals and paupers to the United
States will not work any longer , but the
touuisulp companies have concluded
that It Is folly to take the expensive
risk of hating to return such Immi
grants , with the additional danger of
being prosecuted and heavily lined. A
solution of the Immigration problem
would have been reached long ago , and
a great deal of foolish agitation pre
vented , if the law had boon properly
enforced.

The state tickets of the three parties
are now before the people. The inde
pendents have named their judicial dis
trict and county standard bearers and
will shortly put up their city ticket.
The republicans and democrat * will fol
low. The republican judicial conven
tion is called to meet in Omaha on the
5th ult , The county convention is an
nounced for the 12th. The preliminary
campaign Is on. The "pins" are being
sot up , wo suppose , by the various candi
dates and when the primaries are held
It is likely the Interest will bo fast approaching
preaching white heat.
The republicans have a duty to per
form this fall which must not be neglect
ed Thatduty is torcdoom Douglas county
and the city of Omaha from democratic
misrule. This can bo done only by judi
cious nominations and hard , systematic
work. No man should bo given a place
on the judicial , county , or city ticket
whoso career will handicap the party nt
the outset. Only clean , representative ,
able men can bo elected , but If such are
nominated the republicans will swc&p
the county and tno city. The local
tickets will help the slate ticket and
greatly stimulate republicanism all
over Nebraska and the west. The
eyes of the state are turned
anxiously to Omaha and republicans
hero must stand by Dr. Mercer and help
him to organi/o , victory all along the
line from the Head of the state ticket to
the less important local offices.
Good men and true cannot bo nomi
nated upon any ticket unless men of llko
character participate in the nominating
conventions. Men of standing and abil
ity will not bo elected as delegates to
those conventions unless the business
men , artisans and good citizens gener
ally participate in the caucuses and pri
maries. Lot every man in Omaha , and
especially every republican , make it his
duty this year to help in the work of
electing respectable , honest and com
petent men to ollico.
TlIK FUHXITUIIK COA'TKACT.
The city council has brought upon
itself the condemnation of citizens and
an unsavory scandal by Its action in
agreeing to award the contract for fur
niture in the city hall loan outside firm.
The majority in the face of an over
whelming public sentiment after being
fairly warned of the danger of Its action
and contrary to the advice of the city
attorney arbitrarily ordered a contract
entered into with the Ketcham Furni
ture company of Ohio to furnish the
city hall. This was done too when that
body had before it a proposal from a
it local firm to perform the work in first
class style according to approved plans
for 82,000 less than the price at which
the same work was to bo done by the
former firm.
The people of Omaha are just now
very much in earnest upon the subject
of patronizing homo industry. They
have been educated by TIIK BKK and
common sense to the conclusion that it
is very bad policy to starve out homo
manufacturers and send the money to
which they are ji stly entitled to east
ern houses. In other words they pro
pose to apply the great principle ) of re
ciprocity to home affairs and to ex
change with each other the articles
which are produced in Omaha , sending
away only for such as are not to bo ob
tained from follow citizens. They-arc
so much in earnest about this as
to resent the arbitrary conduct
of a council which has scandalized itself
and the community in awarding n con
tract without the funds to moot it
contrary to the spirit if not the lot tor of
the city charter.
They propose moro. The Central
Labor union has passed a resolution
agreeing that in case the council con
tinues to discriminate against Omaha
industry in tills instance and refuses to
reconsider its hasty action in awarding
the furniture contract , tlio influence of
the union will bo thrown against the
proposition for bonds with which to
complete the city hall.
The majority of the council Is entitled
to no sympathy for the dilemma in
which they have deliberately placed
themselves. They had fair warning
from TIIK UHK. They are now con
fronted with the serious possibility of
the defeat of the bond proposition and
long delays In the completion of the very
much needed city hall. Thorn is only
one way out of the difficulty , and that is
to abrogate the ill-advised and illegal
agreement , reject all bids and await
the bond election buforo awarding the
contract , giving the homo house the
preference at that time , all other things
being then as now equal.
IKlllAff A ItLOTM
Thurston county , Nebraska , was
erected out of the Omaha and Wlnno-
bago Indian reservations. A very largo
part of the county is still Indian tribal
land and undivided. Another part is
hold by Indians in severally under the
Dawoa allotment act. The remaining
portion is owned by whites who have
purchased the same from the govern
ment. The tribal land is not taxed of
couri > o. The allotment land cannot bo
taxed or alienated for twenty-live years
from tlio date of the allotment. At the
expiration of twenty-live years the title
rests in fee simple with the allottee or
his heirs. It cannot bo onoumtered ,
bargained away or bo otherwise disposed
of. It cannot even bo leased by the al
lottee. In fact the allottee has simply
right of occupancy , with guarantee of
full title at the expiration of the period.
The question of raising funds for con
ducting the county government , main
taining schools , building roadc and
bridges , and erecting county and school
buildingu , has become one of great im
portance In Thurston county. Prac
tically speaking there is no source of
revenue to the county exeunt from tlio
real estate owned by the whites and the
personalty of whites nnd Indians.
Under the allotment net all the Indians
having become citizens , they , too , are
liable upon | > orsonal property. The
county olllcals , however , In seeking to
meet the situation imvo ordered houses ,
barns and other fixtures on the allotted
lands listed for jtaynllon as persona
"
property. Appeal "being made by the
Indians to the Dopirtmont of the Inter
lor , Secretary Noblkvhns-lakcn the posl
tlon that under the allotment act these
are not subject to taxation. Ho has re
quested the Department of Justice to In
lorfore on behalf "of" the Indians , and I
is entirely probable the courts will sus
tain the ruling of tlio secretary of the
interior. I
This action of Secretary Noble brings
into immediate prominence ono of the
dilllcultios incident to the nllotmon
act. In view of the improvidence o
Indians and their utter lad : of buslncs
experience , the limitations under whicl
they take their lands In severally mus
not bo removed. To grant each a tract eland
land , however largo or small , In fee slm
pie , would make them merely the victim
of tlio white man's shrewdness and cupid
Ity. To authorize them to loose their
lands to white men for nny term will
possession would bo almost as certain to
result in loss to the Inditing , for It is at
accepted proverb that the white man has
never taken his foot off of Indian land
when once permitted to make ti lodge
mont.
In Nebraska there are four rcserva
tions in which lands in severally have
been taken by the Indians. They are
the Omaha and WInnobago reservations
in Thurston. the Santoo-Sioux roaorva
tion in Knox and the Ponca reservation
in the new county of Uoyd. The questiot
of schools , necessary governmental ex
penses and local improvements , becomes
ono of intense local interest to the citi
zens of these counties. In South Dakota
and other states whore allotments have
been made it is also a subject to which
the people are giving serious considera
tion.
tion.Thoro
There is no relief for this state of
affairs except in congressional action.
It is duo to the states which are embar
rassed by the presence of Indian citizens
upon allotted lands that congress shall
vote funds to meet the taxes which wouli ]
bo assessed against such lands if the
title stood iu fee simple instead of re
maining inalienable and untaxablo foi
twenty-five years.
The Indian Rights association will
probably lay before congress a law pro
viding for the emergency. It is of so
much importance to Indians and whites
alike in counties and states whore allot
ment is breaking'.up reservations and
tribes and individualizing Indians , and
is so fair as well as necessary , that it is
hardly probable ; eon.gross will fail to
take appropriate action. The proposed
law is simple in all its terms. It pro
vides that the Indian allottee's land shall
bo assessed precisely as If it belonged
to a white citizen. The government
instead of the Indian ? will pay the tax to
the state or counfyotreasuror and the
Indian will bo entitled to exactly the
same benefits from the revenue so de
rived in schools , roads and administra
tion as if ho wore a full Hedged taxpaying
ing white or black' citizen instead of
half ward and half citizen of the United
States. The abuses which may grow
out of the enactment of the proposed
law must bo guarded" against , but its
principal features are correct In theory
and can bo satisfactorily applied.
Al/riiouaii Judge A. M. Post has
never in any sense boon associated with
the corporation bosses locally or in the
state at largo , the opposition press will
attempt to lie him into an alliance with
them. The concern at the foot of the hill
has sot the lie afloat notwithstanding the
proceedings of the late convention prove
as conclusively as anything can bo
proved that Judge Amasa Cobb was the
choice ot the railroads and of the best
known old time machine politicians.
Judge Post is not now and never was a
railroad politician , nor a politician at
all in the offensive sense of the term.
Ho has boon a lawyer and a jurist and
ho is now the able , clean-handed untrammeled -
trammeled and incorruptible candidate
of the republican party for the high
oflico of associate justice of the supreme
court. His opponent is a chronic oflico
sookur who is unfitted by education , ex
perience and ability for any judicial
position. Those are the facts in rela
tion to the two candidates and no
amount misrepresentation can possibly
mislead intelligent people to accept
any other statement of the situation.

project of establishing at Wash
ington a great unjly rslly that shall be

expresses conlldeil'co'that the sum can bo

A HOARD of insurance underwriters is
merely an Insurance trust for the main
tenance of high rates upon Insurance.
Omaha has tuiuh a board , but it likowleo
has agents representing non-board com
panies. An effort is bJlng made to bring
them all Into the trust. Should this suc
ceed there is no reason to suppose pre
mium rates would be reduced. On the
contrary there Is danger of an advance.
In Kansas recently one of the agents of
a board company was lined $500 and ben-
toncctl to a year's Imprisonment for
. violating the Kansas anti-trust law.
The gentlemen who Insist so strongly
upon board Insurance rates must not lose
sight of theTsebraska law , found upon
page 838 , compiled stntutea 1889. It U
a rather dangerous question to ratso in
view of the penalty which may bo a line
not exceeding $1,000 , or imprisonment
not exceeding six months , or both , at
the discretion of the court.
STATISTICS gathered by the State
Hoard of Agriculture of Massachusetts
show that there are nearly 000 aban
doned farms In that commonwealth.
Commenting upon this situation the
Boston Advertiser suys there Is no ovl
donco that Massachusetts has retro
graded because of the abandonment of a
portion of its farms. The mills , work
shops ana factories are crowded with
workmen nntl everywhere nro the
evidences of prosperity. The uncultl
vatcd farms simply show that In mosi
cases their owners drifted to the west
nnd that there was no ono who cared to
succeed them. Some-time In the future ,
possibly not moro than a generation
hence , these Massachusetts farms will
bo wanted , nnd then those who take
them will know how to make them
profitably productive. There will come
a time when there will bo no waste land
in this country upon which anything can
bo grown.
A UECKXT dispatch from Pittsburg
announces that it is an assured fact that
America will no longer need to import
tin plate or light weight sheets , The
report named a number of establish
ments where preparations have Boon
made for producing the shoots from
which cans , cups and household utensils
of tin are made. The fact that roofing
tin is being largely produced in the
United States is no longer ques
tioned , but the people who have pro
claimed that the effort to establish the
tin industry hero would prove a failure
have kept up the taunt that no bright
tin was being made and that none could
bo made. That will have to stop now
and the opponents of the policy for cre
ating this now industry will bo com
pelled to acknowledge their discom
fiture. In this there will bo simply a
repetition of what has happened with
respect to other industries that have
been established under republican policy.
INDIANS on alloted lands are citizens
but not taxpayers. They have the right
of occupancy to their lands but are pro
hibited from alienating their real es
tate. They may farm but they cannot
mortgage their property. Their white
neighbors on adjoining lands must pay
the taxes for schools , internal improve
ments and government. This is wrong
to whites and Indians ana the general
government in the interest of both
whites and Indians should boar for tlio
latter their duo and proper share of the
burdens ordinarily attaching to real es
tate ownership. Schools , public roads ,
police protection and good order are not
possible by any other course.
AN AUSTRALIAN ballot this year in

are many eood and substantial reason * why
they should congratulate themselves upon the

publican victory must be won. The nomina
tion of Post , however , easily harmonises all
diversity of Interests and mollllles such fac
tional feelings as had been engendered. It
Insures perfect harmony within the ranks. A.
M. I'ost Is a strong candidate for the place for
which ho has been named. Ho Is entirely free

State Journal : It has been many years sliieo
the republicans of Nebraska hold a moro
satisfactory mooting than tholr convention
In this city yesterday. Never have they
shown moro signs of harmony and oarne.st-
ness , and not often Is a sharp oattle for nom
ination followed by a moro general fooling of
satisfaction over the result. There was a
brisk conflict between the friends of the gen
tlemen mentioned for tlie llrst place on the
ticket , but not the slightest , soreness followed
the nomination of Judge Post , llo was ap
parently the llrst or second choice of nearly
every man In the convention , and the dele
gates dispersed full of enthusiasm over thu
ticket and declaring that every man will bo
elected without the shadow of a doubt.

Tt seems so easy for another man to make a
sacrlllce.
A man's life Is one long sohomo that never
works successfully.
Some men Imagine that they uro not really
at work unless they have tholr coats off.
The man who never takes any Interest lu his
work Is the only ono who is .satistled with It.
No mutter how good a man Is , he Is seldom
30 shookoa by what ho hears that he does not
repeat It.
The moro religious a man Is the loss likely
ho Is to admit that there Is any other road to
heaven than the b.ith he is traveling.
A muscle that Is not exercised becomes woalc
and IIMOIOS-S ; the result Is the same when a
man constantly refuses to exercise liU good
sense.
You can't always toll by the sorrow ex-
prosed In the verse on a woman's tombstone
how long It was bcforo Her husband married
again.
The oft rcpeatorl question of "Do you love
me ? " In engagements , should be changed to
"Can you support mo ? " and "Do you know
how to cook ? "
Whenever wo hoar a girl practicing on the
piano right after breakfast wo wonder if she
does it out of.lovo for music or a dread of the
dishwashing.
The moro subordinate the position a man M
! n , the moro brlf-assiiri'd ho Is that ho could
run things better than the head man if he was
given u chance.
The trouble with the real good old church
member Is that nothing else eansuldom be
said of him. He docs nothing for the world
except being good.
If you pity the wlfo of a bad husband you
aropiobably wasting your sympathy. The
chances are great that she docs not believe
her husband Is lind , and Is a great deal hap
pier than the wives of many good men.
There Is one thing the women can exult over
If they will. No great man's daughter over
proved u > the world's satisfaction that her
father was the fathcrof a fool. It Is some
thing her brother never falls to prove.
When most girls go away from homo they
try to give the Impression that they left a
town full of admirers behind them , slglilng for
their return. No one believes It , anil everyone
ono laughs at them. Wo wonder why thev
do It.
There would bo moro In religion that Is at
tractive to tired out souls longing for comfort
and peace. If the ministers who represent It
did not umiouiicus sensational texts for their
subjects with the same nourish and gusto as a
clrciiH man announces three rings to his
show.

Boston Transcript : It is useless to bo fret
ting nbout flndlns a poet who cnu wrlto the
ode for the opening of the Columbian exposi
tion , foolish to ask n foreign poet to wrlto it ,
when Ueorgo KdwnrJ Woodborry is living
mid hi splendid Kraip of youthful power.
The now professor of literature nt Columbia
uollogo cannot bo unknown In Chicago. His
ode , "My Country , " Is surpassed lu fervor lu
the patriotic Utornluro of our country only by
Lowell's ' Commemoration Odo. Mr. Wooil-
berry Is a Now Knglaml man , to bo sure , anil
writes for the Atlantic Monthly , and his vol-
time of poems , "Tlio North bhoro Watch , " U
published hero. But Now York will claim
him now that ho gees to Columbia. And
Chicago may declare that his love for his
country hns boon broadened nnd dooponeil by
his experience of llfo on tin prairies , for Mr.
Wood berry was four yonrs n professor lu the
University ot Nebraska. European travel
has added to his Harvard culture , and ho has
nbovo all n largo and silicon ) endowment ot
the modesty of ROIIIUS. The Chicago commit
tco tuny possibly secure a poem that thu most
critical Americans will ho proud of buforo the
nations. The poet Woodhorry is a man weli
described lu his own lllioj from the superb
ode above namoil :
' 'Alien the f ua nnd unit the lonm
Whuro'cr it bears him from his homo ;
And when ho leaps to land
A lever treads the strand. "
It is ujjreonblo hi this couucctlou to repeat
these Inspiring lines from
MT COUNTIIV.
O. destined Land , unto thy citadel
What foumlinc tntos ovoti now doth pence
com pel I
That through the world thy 11:11110 is sweat to
toll !
O , throned freedom ! unto thee is brought
Kmpiro ; nor falsehood nor blooa payment
asked ,
Who navor through clocolt thy ends hnst
sought ,
Nor tolling millions for ambition tasked ;
Unlike the fools who build the throne
On fraud nnd wrong nnd woo ;
For man nt last will taku his own
Nor count the overthrow ;
But far from thee Is sot thy continent ,
Nor fours the revolution lu man's rise ;
On laws that with the weal of nil consent ,
And saving truths that.mnlco the people wlso ;
For thou art founded In the eternal fact
Thnt every man iloth grooton with the not
Of freedom ; und doth strengthen with the
wight
Of duty ; and diviner moulds his fnto
liy sharp experience tnught the things ho
lacked ,
God's pupil ; thy largo maxim framed , though
late ,
Who masters best himself bast servos the
