WITH all due deference to the
eminent ntatoamoa who constitute the
republican half of the United States
senate , we must express our unquali
fied disapproval of the present dead
lock. It is indefensible and demora
lizing. Slnco the senate went Into
executive session , the president has
made 297 nominations , only twenty-
five of which have been confirmed.
There are also throe treaties awaiting
concurrence by the senate in executive
session. An interesting feature of
this dead lock is , that the democrat , ,
have elnco March 24th made thltty-
ntno motions to go into executive
session , and the record shows that
each motion wai voted down by a
strict party vote by the republicans.
Wh'le ' the { republican senate is en
gaged In this apparently hopeless and
senseless contest , the cupremo court
vacancy has on several occasions ne
cessitated en adjournment of that
body for want of a quorum. No cir
cuit court can be held in the fifth ju
dicial district , as "there is ne judge.

owing to oxtating vacancies. Besides
thia blockade of the courtaimportant
foreign missions and other federal
offices remain vacant. The dem

out. The responsibility of
administration rests upon the republi
can party , and it cannot afford to
block the wheels of government for
the sake of Mahone or the political
barnacles who want to fill positions SB
door-keepers , measongors nnd clerka
for the senate.
THE RELIEF MEETING.
THE BEE earnestly directs the at
tention of its readers to the call for a
mais meeting of the citizens of Oma
ha , to take immediate action for the
relief of the sufferers from the floods
in Northern Nebraska and Dakota.
This meeting , which is called by
Mayor Boyd at the request of many
of our loading citizens , will bo hold at
the court house on Saturday evening ,
at half-past seven o'clock. The court
house should bo crowded to overflow-
Ing. Omaha is

represent over seven thousand people
Buffering for the necessities of life.
Thousands are homeless. Dakota is
utterly unable to meat the demands
upon her paoplo for shelter
and provisions. Northern Ne
braska Is too poor to be
expected to contribute. It is to the
wenULter portions of the state and to
Omaha particularly that tha sufferers
from the flood In Dakota and Nebraska
have the richt to look. Omaha will

A DANQEROUS INNOVATION.
The report that the European mon
archies are moving to curtail the right
of BBylnm for refugees may well be
received with alarm by all lovers of
liberty and adherents of a republican
form of government. For many years
past , in Engknd and Switzerland ,
and in France since the fall of the
empire , that right has been , construed
to mean practical protection for all
political offences committed in
another country. It had a parallel in
ancient times in the cities of refuge
where safety -was 'guaranteed to
the refugee from the vengeance of his
pursuers. It has been in practical
operation ic. our own country since
the foundation of the Republic.
Under the right of asylum , as here *
tofore construed , political refugees
were assured of complete securi
ty from arrest and annoyance
on demand of the nation from
which they had fled. The security
guaranteed by this construction has
baen responsible for the addition to
the United States of thousands of her
moat valuable citizens who came here
as political exiles. Through a like
construction of the law , Rusiiau con
spirators have found shelter in both
England and France. The arrest of
the editor of a socialistic newspaper in
London , on complaint of tha Russian
government , for publishing opinions
in justification of assassinati jn as a
proper mesna of ridding the world of
tyrants , indicates that there is a dis
position to define the range within
which political refugees may act.
Thoendeavor to overturn governments
by the death of the rulers and by
maana of a conspiracy of the governed
has horotofo.o been regarded strictly
as a political ofTensa.It will be found
a very dangerous experiment to at
tempt to define too closely the divld-
inglme } at which such strokes for lib
erty shall make political refugees com
mon criminals. The difficulty in each
case will bo the determination of the
nature and amount of evidence
required ta secure the sur
render of an accused polit
ical rafugeo. Charges can easily
ba trumped np and surrounded by a
ahovr of proof , in order to secure poa-
session of an enemy to tyranny. Had
any such limitation been placed on tha
sacred right of asylum , Kossuth
would to-day bo rotting la a felon's
grave , Gsirabaldlj would long since
have perished on the scaffold ,
Mazzini would have paidj-tho pen
alty of his love for liberty
with hh life blood , and Carl Schurz
would haAo suffered death at the
hands of King John's executioners.
Had the right of aylnm been curtail
ed , every Fenian prisoner in this caun-
try would have been sent back to
England under trump ad up charges of
conspiring against her Mijasty's life ,
aad Rochofort , who nevar ahed any
thing except red ink , would have been
captured on his way across our c .j i
nent and hurried back to Franco and
the guillotine.
Free governments should refuse to
constituio themselves policemen f r
despots. liiey should refuse to
raise the hue and cry after every poor
wretch , who , falling to secure the free
dom of hia country or the removal cf
the enemies of liberty and escaping
the clutches of some continental
tyrant , socks safety on fricudlyehores.
America especially should forcibly and
emphatically decline to ioiu in any
agreement looking to the curtailment
of the sacred right of asylum and
should use her every effort to Influence
other nations to a like decision.

Further examination showed that
several of his neighbors were about to
ba robbed in a similar way by a scoun
drel who had planned to make oath
nnder several aliases that he had lived
three years upon the property owned
by them , when ho would have re
ceived patents for the property and
the settlers would have been left prac

A prompt application to the local
land office prevented the consumma

other honest men have baen less for
tunate In discovering the attempts of
sharks and have lost everything. It
is thought that nearly one quarter of
the public domain slongthe line of the
Northern Pacific has been lilegslly
captured through trickery and
perjury. Secretary Schurz com
menced a war upon the sharks last
fall by sending out a detective who
procured the indictment of one of the
principle offenders , J. D. Cameron , of
Sioux Falls , who had grown rich from
the business ; and now Secretary Kirk-
wood is making a special effort to put
men in charge of the government in
