Some of these days Nebraska will have a legislature that will make it lively for insurance com panies that take a million dollars a year out of the state and then beat down losses so that two-thirds of the money is clear profit. The managers of Nebraska rail roads have but two months in which to readjust their freight schedules to the provisions of the bill passed by the last legislature. Nothing but a fair trial of the new rates will satisfy the people of the state as to their justness. An eva sion of the law by an appeal to the courts on questions of technical constitutional points will reopen the agitation of the lower rates with more vehemence than ever. The certainty of an approach of cholera to the shores of the United States this year is discussed in the Engineering Magazine by Dr. D. B. St. John Roosa, president of the New York academy of medi cine,—not with a view to creating any alarm, but rather, by explain ing the nature of this disease, to allay any fears which may be felt by the public. In his opinion the combined knowledge of the medic al and engineering professions renders cholera less difficult to control nowadays than the grip and many other diseases. There is no justice in the sys tem that prevails at Washington of withholding from deposed offi cials knowledge of the charges un der which they were removed. Why should a man deemed worthy of appoitnment to official responsi bility be deprived of the privileges allowed men in private employ? If a republican office holder is re moved simply to make way for a democrat, why not let that fact be announced and be done with it. Such a course would be far prefer able to that of branding a man as dishonorable before his neighbors without giving him an opportunity to defend himself when attacked from the ambush. The misunderstanding between Theodore Thomas and the world’s fair Commissioners is exceedingly unfortunate, to say the least. It threatens to end in the retirement of Mr. Thomas as musical director of the Exposition, and that would be very widely regretted. The public will be slow to believe that Mr. Thomas has been|influenced by corrupt or mercenary motives. His character and his record forbid such a suspicion. It is posible for him, in common with most other artists, to cherish a decided pre ference for certain instruments without being subsidized by their makers. The New York firms which refused to exhibit their pianos at Chicago for a trivial and imaginary reason have caused a serious com plication which will not be simplifi ed by casting unjust reflections up on Mr. Thomas.
