Thtbsday, Mabch 16, 1893.
The house passed the Newberry bill by
a vote of 63 to 30. It makes a reduction
of 30 or 35 per cent in freight charges.
That is too much and the bill will not
likely pass the senate.
Money on Wall Street was loaned at
the rate of 52 per cent per annum on
March 7th. When sjieculatiors want
money they want it bad and tlie banks
do not seem to be afraid to charge them
a good rate for it.
At Chadron a few days ago a juror
appeared in the box in an intoxicated con
dition. He wasexcused from duty and rep
remanded by Judge Bartow. The court
let him off very lightly. A good heavy
fine or some time in jail would be none
too strong a dose in such cases.
It is the duty of every resident to
stand up for Sioux county. It matters
not where people go if ttiey co with the
intention of finding fault they can al
ways find something of which to com
plain. Let each one look at the good
points to be found and it will be a great
deal mora pleasant for all.
About five days more and the aggre
gation known as the Nebraska legislature
of 1893 will be working for nothing and
payinff their board. In that respect the
clerks and employees will be greater
than the members for they will draw pay
for all the time from the opening of the
session until the final adjournment.
The reports are that Mosher, the
wrecker of the Capital National Bank at
Lincoln, is to pay up the shortage and
escape prosecution. Such a thing should
not be permitted. Mosher has no more
right to escape punishment for his crimes
than has any other man, and should he
be set free the officials should be prose
cuted. Tlie bills introduced in the legislature
providing for the organization of trust
companies will, if passed, break down
the safeguards of the present banking
system and create a lot of speculative
banks. Are those the kind of laws the
people want? The great men who are
backing such schemes should con
sider what such laws w ill lead to before
they go too far,
Gov. Crounse has used his veto power
once and that was on house roll 172,
which provides for an additional judge in
the 12th district, In his message he
shows that the constitution forbids such
addition and also sets forth the fact that
there are now about twice the number of
judges on the district bench as are neces
sary. The indications are that Gov.
Crounse is going to speak right out in
'tpeetin" when there is occasion for it.
The people have gone wild over the
Cherokee strip and thousands of people
have been camped along the border
waiting for the time to come when they
am make a rush and secure a quarter
section of land, So great has been the
rush that troops have been ordered out
to keep peace and prevent tlie wild
homeaeekers from going on the strip be
fore it is legally opened. Why it is that
people will get so crazy over the opening
of a strip off some Indian reservation is a
mystery, especially when there is still
hundreds of thousands of acres of fine
government laud still open to homestead

You cannot find a populist go where
soe'er you may, from Portland to the
western coast of France, but knows
more than Bob Morris or John Sherman
any day, about the hidden problems of
finance. You meet one in the corn field
r upon the railroad train, or in the rush
upon the busy street, and he'll curse our
banking system in a melancholy strain
till you grow old and drop dead at his
feet. We pray, Oh, Lord, deliver us

A petition was presented to the legis
lature asking that the bills nuking large
cuts in railroad rates be not passed,
signed by a large number of railroad
employees. H set forth that a forced
reduction in rates would effect one hun
dred thousand families dependent upon
the railroad for support. Such appeals

liuslit ille Standard.
1 Senator Stewart, of this lHra I, has
I introduced a maximum freight rale bill.
Tlii prmtiiins 17.1 linHK
written. The rates fixed are about the
same as those fixed by the .several other
bills that have been introduced, but it is
tlie only bill which provides for classify
ing the roads similar to the Iowa law
the rates on smaller roads being higher
than those on the larger aud stronger
lines. It also provides for the repeal of
tlie law and abolishes the State Board of
Transportation. The Standard does not
wish to criticise Senator Stewart's lion
esty in introducing such a bill, but if he
has introduced it in good faith, we fear
he lias failed to reason in the interests of
his constituents in the interests of those
who voted to place him in the senate.
He is in the extreme northwestern dis
trict, where tlie earnings of railroads are
small w hen compared with the roads ir.
the eastern part of the state. The farm
ers of the northwest have comparative
small amounts of stulf to ship, and
Senator Stewart's bill seems to provide
tliat because a farmer is ikioi- and has a
small quantity of stull' to ship he must
pay more in proportion to the farmer of
the east who has a large amount to
transport to market. This bill ought to
suit the eastern part of the state but we
fail to see how Mr. Stewart can harmon
ize it with the wishes of the farmers of
Northwest Nebraska. So long as the
great and small roads are under the same
ownership, they ought to be of one and
the same class, and then, with justice
for ail in view, a rate should be figured
out. Then the strong would be compelled
to help bear the burdens of the weak.
This is the sort of protection the Stand
ard believes in a protection that pro
tects. Let us cite an example of the re
sults of such a bill, should it become a
law: A man down the read, say near
Neligh, raises 2,000 bushels of wheat,
and he wants to ship it to a mill at Nor
folk, 100 miles. Because the road down
there is having a large volume of busi
ness and this single farmer has a large
amount of wheat he is given a rate of 1
cents for the 100 miles, he pays $30.
Then we take Senator Stewart on his
farm in Sioux county. He raises we
will say, 500 bushels of wheat, and he
wishes to ship it to the Rushville mill, a
distance of 100 miles. He has compara
tively a small amount, and the railroad's
business is light, so the Senator is given
a rate of 2 cents, he pays f 10. He pays
one-third as much as the other man,
while he ships only one-fourth tlie
amount of grain. He certainly ought to
have an equal chance with the large far
mer. As near as we can guess, the
Standard would be opposed to Senator
Stewart's bill. In addition to being an
"orator" a member of the legislature
should possess sound reasoning powers,
to be a desirable member.
The Heal Situation.
Inter Ooeau.
The most conservative and intelligible
report upon affairs in Hawaii yet re
ceived in this city was the special dis
patch from the staff correspondent of
the Inter Ocean, dated from Honolulu
March 1, and published yesterday morn
ing. It was in quiet disproof of the sen
sational stories of cabals and factional
agitations that have come from other
sources, and gave assurance that there is
a peaceful and orderly waiting for the
action of this country with reference to
the future government of the islands.
It had been intimated that there is a
strong feeling of resentment on the part
of the English of the action of Americans
in the establishment of the provisional
government, and that conspiracies of
various sorts were formed to precipitate
trouble between the two peoples. Our
correspondent says of these questions:
"It will be a matter of surprise to the
people to learn that the question as it
stands at present is not one into which
race prejudices Have entered. There are
a few Englishmen who maintain a re
sentful, if not an openly hostile attitude,
but the majority, particularly the large
property-holders, will bow to the new
order of things. Tax-payers perceive
that the natural protectorate of the
islands must be furnished by the United
States, both by reason of past obliga
tions and existing commercial relations.
Many of the most prominent English
residents openly favor at least the Amer
ican provisional government, with what
ever permanent form may be decided
upon later, while the Germans are a unit
in favor of annexation."
this neunition ol the situation is
authorized by a careful personal investi
gation and thorough inquiry, and may
be accepted as a statement of the true
attitude of the foreigners of Hawaii.
Tlie majority of the natives also seem to
be in favor of annexation, though the ex-
Queen's party is of course opposed to any
form of government that will make her
deposition complete and irrevocable.
Tlie feeling in this country is one of com
parative indifference, toe only serious
consideration being thai no other nation
shall secure control of the island.
The action of the president yesterday
ia withdrawing the Hawaiian treaty will
have a disquieting Influence in both
countries and ma; lead to unlooked for
complications. ; The case was very
simple as it stood a week ago. It ia now
clouded by uncertainty and possibly by
politioa) intrigue. (. .-, '

" Tlie selocticn of Judge GresUi i:, who
lias never said that lie is other tliau a
republican, for secretary of state, has
been interpreted in some quarters as in
dicating a purpose on the part of Mr.
Cleveland to break up tlie democratic
party and form a new one. These peo
ple forget, or do not know, that there
are numerous precedents for a president
taking a man outside his party into his
cabinet The first one was furnished at
the very beginning of the government,
when Washington made Jefferson his
secretary of state, without exciting any
suspician that the first president had any
designs against the federalist party, of
which he was one of the recognized
leaders. It is true that at that time
Jefrersou had not become actively iden
tified with the auti-federalists, but it
was well kuown that he strongly leaned
toward them. President Monroe, who
inaugurated the "era of good feeling,''
and whose example Mr. Cleveland has
erhaps studied with admiration, made
John Quincy Adams his secretary of
state, aud following these precedents Mr.
Adams, when he liecame president, put
Henry Clay at the head of his cabinet,
though it should be remarked that in
connection with this appointment it was
cliarged there was a "deal" a charge,
however, of which history has fully ac
quitted Adams aud Clay. The appoint
ments of Key and Scliurz by President
Hayes and of Wayne MacVeagh by Pres
ident Garfield are other examples that
may properly be cited as precedents for
the action of Mr. Cleveland, and nobody
ever assumed that those republican pres
idents had any idea of breaking up their
party and forming a new one.
Mr. Cleveland's motive in appointing
Judge Greshatn was very likely to
strengthen his party, just as Monroe
aimed to do for the party in his time.
It is possible that this may be the result,
but nobody can be certain of it. The ap
pointment has caused a great deal of
democratic dissatifaction which it will
not be easy to allay. Then the alliance
may not be permanent. Secretary
Gresham has very positive convictions,
which he will not readily yield. If the
democratic party wauts to retain him it
must accept his views, otherwise he will
be very likely to renounce such allegi
ance as he has given to it. Unless he
has been greatly misunderstood he is not
the man to surrender to personal ambi
tion, opinions and principles which he
has long cherished. So far as the repub
lican party is concerned it has nothing to
fear from this action of a democratic
president, or from the fact that some re
publicans are in official positions under
democratic administration. The
country will judge that administration
by the results of its treatment of the
practical questions which will confront
it, ami uiien the time comes for the!
people to render their verdict it will be
of small consequence to them who is in
the cabinet or any other public station.
They will be guided by what they be
lieve to be their interests. Meanwhile
the republican party will find abundant
opportunity for action upon local issues
constantly arising, the treatment of
which will have its effect for good or ill
upon the future of the party.
Another absurd theory is that the
hearty official and popular consideration
shown to Mr. Cleveland is evidence that
party lines are being obliterated. The
new president was not less pronounced
in his declaration of democratic doctrines
because he was courteously entertained
by the retiring republican president, and
no one will pretend that the latter is less
a republican today than he was four
years ago. These courtesies, most be
coming to the chosen rulers of an en
lightened people, denote a welcome de
cadence of the bitter spirit of partisan
ship, but as to tlie division of parties
they are wholly without significance.
Party lines are as distinctly drawn today
as tliey have ever been.
