TilK COMIXa SAVALBATTLK.
It Is rather reiiuirknble thut with all
the fuel Hi lea for obtaiulug news from
every part of the world, mul with the ex
traordinary vigilance ami enterprise of
newspaper correspondent!, there should
be so little Information of an authentic
chnracter In regard to the whereabouts
of the hostile fleets that ore moving
about somewhere lu Asiatic waters.
There have been reports of the appear
ance of ISushIhii warships at vnrlotis
points, but nothing absolutely definite,
while the locution of the Japanese fleet
Is a much a mystery ns are the move
ments of tho mikado's armies In north
ern Manchuria.
lu this ' situation there cau be only
conjecture as lo the Intention of the
Bosnian and Japanese commanders, and
this Is iflcenarlly unsatisfactory, t'll
c'orbtetlly both are preparing for the
Inevitable battle, which lu the opinion
of experts will be the greatest sen tight
of tuoduru times, but no conclusion can
be formed from the luforiuutlou at hniul
a to where the tight Is likely to take
ulai-e or whether the fleets will eon
front each other es a whole or there
will lie conflicts hctweeu detached or
tloiis of each. There is quite naturally
AAncnr mvht bk overthrowa.
It will soon be up to the aupreme
court to determine the constitutionality
of the biennial election bill, recently
pny'd by the legislature and signed by
the governor, should the act stand.
then there will be no election in this'
state this year for Judge of the supreme
court to succeed the Incumbent whose
six years' term expires on the first
Thursday after the first Tuesday after
January 1. 1!HXi, as expressly required
by section 14. article xvl of the consti
tution. Nor will there be any election
. s!; I two years from now for any Judge of
the supreme court, district court, nor
for any county Judge in this state. All
these by the act have their terms ex
tended for one year.
The effect of the act Is and will be
that nil the Judges of the supreme court
now holding seats hnvo their respective
terms lengthened one year, find here
after all will be electpd on the years
when state officers, congressmen and
state Ipglslnturps are chosen, and every
four yenrs when presidential elections
are held all in contravention of the
plain language of the constitution nnd
about which there ran be no doubt
among Intelligent readers of that Instru
ment. 'If this act stands, the constitu
tion, not only in this instance. it at
any time, may be set aside by TcglVila
the enactment.
The burning issue that confronts the
people of Nebraska is whether their
lawmakers and executive and judicial
officers, who hare taken an oath to sup
port the constitution, are to be bound
by that oath nnd that constitution, or
whether they may set either or both
aside at pleasure. Whether biennial
elections are expedient In the Interest
of the office holder or the office seeker,
or In the Interest of economy designed
to benefit the people generally Is Im
material and cannot enter Into the pres
ent question. The highest tribunal of
this country has declared that "pre
sumptions are all In favor of the wis
dom of the people a expressed in their
constitutions and must stand unless
changed by them. As applied to states
the constitution is the fundamental and
paramount law. It Is higher nnd nbove
the executive, legislative nnd Judicial
brandies of government. It is the rule
of the sovereign people to be changed
only by them In their sovereign ca
pacity." Back lu 1X8-1 the state supreme court.
In the case of State against Medium),
which involved the extension of the
terms of county Judges, declared that
"the legislature possessps no )ovpr to
change the year In which such elections
are to be held, nor to shorten the term
of office."
Those who seek to uphold the biennial
election law depend mainly upon the
case t f Wilson against Clarke, tin Kau
nas oOTi. It should be borne In mind,
however, that the Kansas eonstituflon,
unlike ours, contains no provision for
the eonitiiejuvuientof the terms of Judi
cial officers. ' '
The attempt to Ignore and override
specific constitutional provisions o;i the
part of our legislature is simply an
archy. If tliP' legislature can postpone
an election one year, it puii isiptpone it
two yenrs, or three years, or nny num
ber of years. If the people of Nebraska
want biennial elections they ran very
easily hnve them by nniendiug their
constitution. They ueed no legislature,
governor or supreme court to tell them
what they want.
And what was the Incentive for the
enactment of thh anarchistic, piece of
legislation? No popular expression In
favor of abolishing off-year election has
been asked for through the press or at
tempted by any political convention or
by nny representative body. Nobody
has ever advocated or championed an
amendment to the constitution to do
away with off year elections, which was
the only legitimate mode of bringing
about the proposed change.
With the notorious subserviency of
the late legislature to corporate Influ
ences. It does not stand to reason that
such ti measure would hnve been en
noted by so large a majority hnd It not
been approved by tho polltlcul mali
ngers of the corporations. There is n
well-grounded suspicion that the friendly
Interest manifested In the bill by the
corporate lobby was not anxiety on Its
purt to save the people from the tur
moil and expense of annual elections,
but rather r.eal to bag all the game at
once. In other words, to force. the se

however, has also given evidence of
ability and It Is quite possible will show
himself to lie a match for the Japanese

strength of the fleets, they are about
on an equality. The Busslans are
more numerous, but this Is offset by the
better condition of the Japanese ships
and their superiority In guns and the
men lielilnd the guus, ns well as in the
greater speed of most of their ships.

Under the revenue law of Nebraska
every railroad company operating In this
state Is required to furnish to the State
Board of Equalization on or before the
15th day of April each year n com
plete list of Its properties and a "state
ment or schedule showing the amount
of Its capital stock and market value of
such stock, the amount of Its Imndod
debt nnd floating debt, the total gross
earnings, net earnings nnd operating ex
penses for the preceding year, as well as
the amount expended for Improvement
or betterments, the amount of dividends
declared upon Its stock during the year
next preceding the date of such report
and such further Information as tho
state board may in writing require In re
lation to each rallroud."
Whether It was by design on the part
of the fraiuers of the revenue law or by
accidental omission one of the Important
factors that would enable the state
board to arrive at a correct estimate of
the value of railroads in Nebraska has
been Ignored by the litw-mnkers. Infer
ence Is made to the gross net eurnlngs
nnd operating expenses and betterment
of the respective railroads within the
state of Nebraska as separated from the
earnings, operating expenses and better
ments of the systpin of which each of
the Nebrnska railroads is a component
purt. For example, the Union Pacific
system, which Includes not only main
lines and branches In Nebraska, Kansas,
Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, but also
the Oregon Short Line nnd Oregon Rail
road and Navigation company lines nnd
their branches, approximating in all
.'..himi miles. An exhibit of the gross and
net earnings of this entire mileage does
not enlighten the state board as to the
earnings of thnt portion of the Union
Pnclfle system located in Nebraska. The
same Is also true with regard to the
Burlington. Northwestern, Missouri Pn
clfle and other lines subject to assess
ment by the state board.
In order to make an intelligent and
approximately correct estimate of, the
value of the franchises ns well ns the
tangible property of each of these rail
roads, thp stntp Ifogrd should procure
specific Information ns to the earnings
and operating expenses of eacb of the
respective roads In Nebraska and also
the proportion of the rolling stork of
ench road in use on Its Nebraska mile
age. It goes without saying that such n
return would be superfluous if the as
sessment of these various railways is to
be based on their capitalized net earn
ings and the market value of their
stocks and bonds mllo for mile. This
the railroad tax agents nnd attorney
hnve always resisted nnd will probably
rpslst again when the bonrd comes to
sum up Its findings. For that reason the
only snfe plan for the board to pursue Is
to Issue a requisition for specific Infor
mation as above outlined.
llL'lt INTERESTS t.V THE PACIFIC.
It is manifestly Important that the
Amerlcau people should not lose con
cern In regard to the Interests of this
country In the Pnclfle, for whatever the
outcome of the war in the far east this
country' will inevitably have something
to say about the conditions that may be
established there. Having possessions
in the orient that we Intend to hold and
which must be cared for und defended,
the United States cannot be an indiffer
ent or voleeleFs spectator to what shnll
be done In the settlement of the great
conflict which will leave either Japan or
Kuusla In u dominating position lu east
ern Asia.
While our government will undoubt
edly observe Its traditional policy of
keeping out of foreign entanglements. It
will yet flud it necessary to see thut
nothing Is done which would operate ad
versely to Its rights nud Interests lu a
pail of the world where It not only has
possessions, but to which It looks for rt
great addition to its future commerce.
It is n not uncommon opinion that there
will be danger to American Interests In
the far enst whether Jnpnn or Russia Is
finally successful in the war between
them. There can be no doubt that this
would be the case If Rut-sln bhould tri
umph. Conceding the possibility of that
power regaining what she lias lost in the
wur and It Is quite conceivable that she
would after a time, if nit nt once, shut
the world out from tho trade of thut part
of China under her control. There are
obvious reasons for this view, the chief
one being that she would take this
means of recouping herself for the losses
of war. How would It be with Juiian?
There are some who believe that she
would show no consideration for other
nations, but would seek to nbsorb and
control the far custom market, for this
purpose abandoning her declared posl
tlon favorable to the principle of the
open door. We do not think there Is any
ground for apprehending this. There Is
nothing to Justify such fear In the utter
ances of tho: who are nuthoriiceil to
speak for the Japanese government.
Yet the United States should take
nothing for granted and doubtless will
not. It will be a most attentive observer
uf the conditions of peace between Rus
sia and Japan and will not hesitate to
interpuse should any of) lis rights or In
terests be Imperilled. This republic is
vitally concerned In far eastern affairs,
It Will be so alwars. That would lie the
case, for purely commercial reasons.
even If we had no possessions In thnt
port of the world. It Is iccullarly so
tinder existing conditions and our Inter
est there will grow from year to year
They must not be neglected. Ample pro
vision must be made for their protection
and defense and no powr must be per
mltted to adopt any ixillcy or to enter
Into any agreement which might prove
detrimental to the Interests of the United
States In the far enst.
This country cannot afford to yield
any of Its power or Influence in the Pa
cific. The position now universally ac
corded to It must be maintained and It is
not to be doubted that It will be. So far
ns Japan Is concerned we do not believe
that there Is nny danger to American
interests in flip Pnclfle or thut there Is
I ever likely to be.
I The report of the bar committee ap
'pointed by Judge M linger to Investigate
the pprjurcd testimony given In a re
cent bootlegging ensc Is to the effect
that the confessed perjurer Is weak
minded and that ftlither punishment of
the culprit be dropped. That Is no rea
son, however, why no effort should be
made to get nt the strong-minded bene
ficiaries of the false witness who put
up the Job. The very fact that the per
jurer is weak-minded Is proof conclusive
that he was not a free agent and that
he was procured or coerced Into for
swearing himself by more Interested
pintles. The real culprits are those who
stood behind and pulled the strings.
The chances are that thorough Investi
gation would bring the matter close
home to some y member of the bar,
and that may explain why tho bar com
mittee Is not oversea lous to pursue it.
While the British Parliament is wrest
ling ngaln with the deceased wife's sis
ter bill, the fact has been generally
overlooked thnt the late Nebraska legis
lature enucted a law, without making
any noise about It. prohibiting the mar
riage of first cousins lu this state. The
result will iu all probability lie thut in
Nebraska, as In Britain, people who
want to assume the marital yoke within
the forbidden degrees will migrate lo
some more friendly jurisdiction, where
the lawmakers are not so particular.
Our State university debaters hnve
settled It that the second section of the
fourteenth amendment, relating to the
curtailment of congressional representa
tion as a penalty upon any state that
abridges the suffrage on account of
"rnce, color or previous condition,"
should be repealed. It will hardly be
safe, however, for congress to proceed
as yet on the theory tlfht there, is an
Imperative popular d emand for consti
tutional endorsement of negro disfranchisement.
