WORDS OF SSOBER ADVICE
Councilman Stull's earnest , forcible
nnd temperate protest ngninst the at
tempt to make a farce of the Slocumb
law by raisin ? the license to $100-
"
000 should" not go unheeded ,
llo expressed the sentiment of the
if rcat mass of liberal yet law abiding
citizens ot Omaha .It is not expect
cd that men directly interested in the
liquor traflio should bo impartial ex
ponent * of public sentiment. Much
less can wo expect liquor dealers who
cannot comply with the now law on
nccount of liwitcd means to favor any
ordinance that would likely bo lived
up to by these who nro nblo to pay
the $ tOOOnndfuriiiBhtho8r , ,000bond.
Uut the city council of Omnhn have
a sworn .duty to perform and any at
tempt to trifle law and cncourngo
dcfianco of law will not bo coun
tcnnnccd by their constituents
The HKI : has been and is opposed to
monopoly in every shape nnd regard
the monopolizing of the liquor trafll
as ono of the worst features of the
Slocumb law. But this law Is on our
statute book and has bcenpronounccd
constitutional in nil its provisions by
the supreme court , nnd wo filial ! ,
therefore , sustain the authorities in
its enforcement lot the consequences
bo what they may. The overwhelm
ing majority given to the liquor deal- '
.era' ticket laut spring has created
the false impression among this
class of our citizens that this
community will back them in any at
tempt to nullify the laws that restrict
the liquor tnUllc , oven when by this
nullification they endanger the public
schools by withholding the license
money , In this they are very much
mistakenNo matter how much the
liberal minded citizen may condemn
the high license bill and its oppres
sive provisions , few people outside of
the Jiquor dealer's union will
countenance or endorse nny attempt
to make the law n farce by raising thu
license to $100,000.
If tho' ' .brewers , distillers and re
sponsible liquor merchants ever hope
to secure the repeal or amendment of
the Slocumb law they cannot do it by
favoring absolute prohibition. Thu
only parties that can afford to defy
the laws are thpso who have no dispo
sition to obey them. To talk a little
plainer the only parties that can't af
ford to sustain the $100,000 license
clause are the keepers of dives and
dons who never pay n license of nny
kind , and keepers of disorderly houses
who never pay attention to law.
The great mass of our citizens , nnd
especially people whoso children are
receiving an education in the public
schools , will hold councilmcn who
refuse to live up to the letter and
spint'of the law by passing an ordi
- nance in conformity with irresponsible.
Insteadof making political capital for
the tuturowith a viowof repealing the
high 'license law , the nullijiors will
unit. ) all the law abiding people , re
gardless of party , on the platform of
law and order. Ivstead of n modified
license law they will get absolute pro
hibition. It strikes us that the second
sober thought will show the friends of
tlio liquor , .interest in the council
the criminal folly of trifling with the
law. If they will reflect' seriously
upon the effect their course will-'have '
r upon law abiding people in other sue.

RAILROAD COMPETITION.
* Th6 railroad organs'uro divided a )
the present time over thu question ol
the value of competition as a protection
to the interests of the public and the
interests of the corporations. The re
cent ruinous war of rates between the
trunk lines of the cast has drawn
from the Now York Tribune n labored
nrticle , advising government protec-
tion of railroad managers against the
cupidity of oppo-sing corporations ,
f while a number of monopoly organ :
farther west oppose any legislation on
the railroad question and assort
that "compotitian can and will pro
tect the whole dominion of commerce. "
This last remark 'ia used as a text by
the Omaha Republican lor an edito
rial in which it
argues against the re
striction of corporation abuses , eithoi
by n railway commission or by na
tional legislation , both of which it it
convinced would bo equally injurious ,
as curtailing thu power of the monop
olies and preventing a free and fail
competition between public carriers.
There is no word in the whole railroad
vocabulary so misleading as the word
"competition. " Jn ordinary morcan.
tile life it means the free and un
r- bridled rivalry which exists between
business men in the sale and exchange
ofthuir commodities. It acts as a
stimulus to trade and a protection tc
producers and consumers , restricting
avarice and forbidding Depression ,
Through competition in business , tin
farmer is enabled to sell his produce
where it will bring the highest pric (
nnd in return to upend his monov
where he can obtain the largest
amount for the least expenditure.
buoh competition is unknown on rail
roads. By their very constitution the
greater proportion of railways are mo-
nonolioa possessing n franchise whicl'
Vnablcs them to hold nnd operate c
line over the most eligible route be
tween two points. If no parallel line
nets as n common carrier the road
possesses an absolute monopoly nnd
bascsitschargesfortransportnlionupon
what the freight is nblo to bear , or in
tho'r words , places the rates nt n
> oint sufllciontly high to barely rnnko
t profitable for the shipper to consign
t for transportation. If the revenues
f the trafli ? have proved sufficiently
emuncrativo to invite the building
if another line , agreements are 5m
nodiatoly entered into between the
wo competing roads to maintain rates
n figure which will enable both to
cap handsome dividends of their in-
cstmont , while the public is deprived
if any of the benefits fthich they might
cnsonnbly expect from nn honestly
lonductcd competition. In business
, ho result of competition is to lower
ho prices of commodities to purchns
era. In railroad management the re-
ult of competing lines is t-o maintain
prices for transportation. In buni
ness , a customer may sell his goodi
to whom ho pleases and bargain for a
better price nmong n number of firm
who nro competing for his trade. The
railways , by pooling all earnings ,
or by secret agreements to maintain
schedule rates , make it n matter of
little difference to shippers by what
line they transport their freight to
market.
Railroad competition is n delusion.
It has no existence except when
broken agreements of the managers
force on' other lines n wnrof rates
which end in Btrongor compacts nnd
the practice of greater extortion upon
the public. Millions of dollars
have been contributed by mer
chants and farmers as aid to
build competing roads under the most
solemn promises that actual competi
tion should take plnco between the
fiVal linca. In every instance at the
end of a few weeks , or at most a few
years , the consolidation or pooling of
the competing lines have robbed the
public of the benefits which they
hoped to derive from their contribu
tions.
Left to themselycs and to the opera
tion of tlio law of "railroad com
petition" the corporation mana
gers will strain the dividend pay
ing power of their roads to the
utmost at the expense of the'purses of
the public. Tlio regulation of rail
road tariffs by law affords the only
quarrantco of protection against the
arbitrary exactions nnd extortions of
the monopolies. This3 is n remedy
.which lies in tha hands of the people
and they will bo accountable only to
themselves if they refuse to exorcise
it for the common benefit.
want to nullify
'the fttato liquor license law are talk
ing flippantly about the consent of
the govowied. Tluy say "the SIo-
eumb law has been passed without
the consent oi the governed and
therefore the people are not bound to
obey its provisions. This talk about
th } cpnsont of the governed is all
bosh. In a tjovcriimont ruled by ma
jorities through representative bodies
called legislatures the governed give
their consent to all the laws enacted
by thrir representatives when they
elect them.
This consent cannot bo withdrawn
at pleasure. No matter how ob
noxious the laws enacted by the pee
ple's representatives , as they bind nil
citizens alike until they are repealed
by another legislature or declared
void by the courts. If every law that
does not meet poj.ular aoproval could
bo ignored or nullified at pleasure this
country would soon relapse into a
state of anarchy.
VICK rjti'.Rii > r.NT AIITIIDK is being
coached for presidential duty by his
most intimate friends. In view of the
prolublo vacancy in the olllco of the
president , the question has been
discussed among the vice presidont'e
counsellors as to his method of taking
the oath should the president die ,
Precedents have been looked up and
ic was found that in the case of Vice
President Tyler there was n lapse of
two days after tha death of President
Harrison before ho took the oath. In
the case of Vice President Fillmorc
there was n lapse of ono day. In the
case of Vice President Johnson tin
oath was administered almost imme
diately after the assassination. It is
to be hoped that the emergency which
would call the vice president to tlu
chief mnuistratu'a post of duty will
never arise.

The Vice Frouiilcut Question.
New York Times.
A few newspapers affect to treat
the question of the president's inabili
ty to discharge the powers and duties
of his oflicp as of small interest or im
portance , in view of the reasonable
hope that Gen. Garfield may bo able
to resume his official functions before
there is any urgent pressure for their
exercise. The question is , neverthe
less , one of transcendent interest to
every thinking man , and it may yet
become ono of great practical impor
tance. It is of special interest be
came now , for the first time in wore
than ninety years nfter the adoption
of national constitution , the occasion
has arisen for its Horious discussion.
In dealing with it wo have none of
the ordinary light * nnd aids , for ithas
never been made the subject of legis
lation or congressional debate , or of
judicial consideration. Jurists have
Ijivon no special study to it , and our
judicial writers have invariably slur
red it over with a passing allusion ,
The uliol uf 0"ileau lJ lK' ) > * UP a * a
absolutely now lopitf of grunt eigijifi-
anco.for study and discussion. Tlio
iffect'of this is scon in the Vast varie-
.y nnd general crudcness of the com-
uents which it has evoked. Even the
nest careful student of it is likely to
iiul occasion to revise his first impics-
ions.
To say that it has no real interest
; it this time is puerile , and to maintain
' .hat it is n matter jf minor importance
.s foolish. The very language wo are
compelled to use in introducing the
iiibjeet reveals its practical impor-
anco. The president is nt this mo-
jnont unable to discharge the powers
and duties of the executive office , and
it is no performance of his oflicial
functions to set his nnmu even "with
iv firm , clear hand" to n document
brought to him by the secretary of
state. So far fw consideration of the
subject involved or approval of the
document is concerned , u js the act of
the secretary , not of the President.
Gen. Garfield may bo nblo to resume
the duties of his office bcforo there is
any urgent pressure for the perform *
nnco of specific excculU6 nets , but
this very statement assumes that ho js
not now able to perform them and is
not performing them. That such is
the fact is a matter ot common knowl
edge nnd entirely beyoud dispute.
Considering the Blow progress the
president is making , there is no assurance -
suranco whatovo that it may not become -
como a matter of uricnt necessity
that executive acts of the highest im
portance should bo performed before
'
no is in n condition to give 'them the
requisite attention and to exercise his
indispensable functions in connection
with them. It is not for the cabinet
or nny member of it to attend to these
duties and to obtain the porfcctory
siffnaturoor the listless approval of an
invalid , when such is regarded ns
technically "indispensable. " Thai
is not n discharge by the president ol
the powers and duties of his office.
\Ve have hitherto maintained , whal
w o believe cannot bo successfully dis
puted , that the constitutional provis
ion regarding the funptions of the
Vice-President contemplated just
such nn emergency as now exists. _ Its
purpose was to provide , as it distinct
ly doea provide , for the performance
of executive ( functions when the pres
ident shalMrom any cause bo incapa
citated for their performance , whether
permanently or for a time. In such
case it simply devolves those functions
upon the Vico-Presidcnt , to be by
him permanently or temporal ily ac
cording as the "inability" may render
necessary. So much seems to us en
tirely clear. Wo have also hold thai
it was essential , in order that there
might bo no uncertainty and no chance
for conflict of opinions or ol
action ; for Congress to make
the laws "necessary and proper
for carrying into execution" the
powers of the oflico of vice prcsiden
before that officer could assume the
functions of the executive.Vo \ stil
deem that a matter of the highest im
portance and the lack of congrcs
sional action in the past a matter
greatly to bp deplored. Wo debm if
of so much importance that we should
deprecate nny action of the vice presi
dent in tha premises in advance o
leiMslation'nnlesa it should become ab
solutely necessary or of the most ur
gent importance. But wo do believe
that it was the intent of the constitu
tion to devolve upon him the powers
and duties of the executive office ii
such circumstances ns now exist , am
it should become indispensable tha
executive acts should bo performec
and the president was unable to per
form them , the vice president and nc
other would bo the officer upon when
their performance would properly do
Volvo.
The reason why there is so mud
doubt nnd hesitation in dealing witl
this subject is not far to seek. It i
ono moro result of the lack of uner
ring foresight on the part of th
Cramers of the constitution. Their
substantial failure of their purpose ii
( lie electoral system of choosing tin
president and vice president is we !
known. They never intended tha
theiu should bo party nominations
and they could not foresee the con
sidcrations which have generally determined
termined thu nomination of vice pres
idonta. Itvan entirely nsido fron
nny view of the caio taken bj
them them that tlura should bo n na
tional "administration , " of which tin.
vice president would viitually form na
part , and with which ho might not be
in sympathy , It is the general recou
nition of the fact that Gun. Arthu
> ms not been of or with the Garfioh
administration that made many people
regard the possibility of his succcssioi
with dread and makes them reluetan
to admit that ho is in any case to uc
in the president's placo. liut thi
feeling cannot set aside the provision
of thu constitution. If Gen. Gartieh
lives , his administration will continue
The vice president cannot displace it
and will probably hnvo no deairo t <
do so ; but so fnr as the power.s am
duties of the executive oflico are con
cerned , ho is the person plainly des
ignntcd by the constitution as the oni
upon whom they shall devolve whei
the president is unable to discharge
them.

Robbing Sleeping Cars.
Utlca Herald.
Sleeping-car thieves are still operating
ating regularly on the Central Head
Monday night Edward Gumming , a
curled hair dealer of Now York' , lef
that city occupying a whole sleepim
section , on tlio 0 p. m. train tha
reaches Utica at 5 a. m. Ho plucec
his wallet , containing $170 in nuw
greenbacks and seine mining stocks
in his vest and put the vest under hi
pillow. Ho also had a valuable goh
watch. In the next berth to him was
an unknown man who had a ticke
. from Now York to Utica. Durin ;
the night another passenger on the
train felt someone fumbling undo :
his pillow , and ho called out : "Wha
do you want1 ! , A voice responded ,
"Excuse me , I am looking for nn
berth , and have made a mistake.
Ho heard nothing more and fol
asleon again. Mr. Gumming slopi
soundly until ho got to Utica , when
ho awakened and dressed. On looking
into his wallet ho found that all hit
money had been stolen , but the min
ing stocks were left untouched. Ho
notified the conductor of his loss , bul
there was no help for him. Ho was
well pleased to hnd that the thieves
had loft his watch. It is a singular
fact that the man in the next birth ,
who had a ticket to Utica , arose dur
ing the night and left the train at
Palatine Urido , leaving his ticket in
his berth. Thin was undoubtedly the
thief , and lie was probably a member
of the Eastern three-card monte gang
which travels regularly hotwcor
Schenectady , Fonda and I'alatino
Uridgo , and sometimes as far west as
Utica. Mr. Gumming says ho hesi
tated a long time before putting his
vest under the pillow , but finally con
cluded that was the safest place. In
thin ho was mistaken , The porters
and conductors place the ticket ul
each passenger under the pillow , or
mattress near the pillow , and in takinj ,
them out for punching they soldon
awaken passengers , although the con-
berth , the safest place for valuables is
at home or between the mattresses
on the inside. Few car thieves wil
take the risk of reaching over a sleep
ing man's body to lift the mattress and
extract his money , and it is difilcull
for them to pass their hands betveen
the mattresses and' under the sleeper's
body.
"Never Mind the Hnt , My Boy. "
Ifcnrtr Tribune.
General Sheridan was idly sauntering -
ing up and down the lobby of the
Windsor Hotel , deep in thought , ai < d
complacently puffing at his Havana ,
and blowing the white smoke into
pretty white cnrls. Suddenly a rough
looking man , with face so heavily
bearded that ono could ECO nothing
but tlio Iw7' ' kliin blncfc eye , np-
preached him , and , raising his hat
with awkward cmbarassmcnt , said :
"Good morning , general. "
The hero of Winchester returned
the greeting , touched his cap with
military politeness , nml then , trying
to peer through the miner's hca\y
beard to get a glimpse of his features ,
the general said :
"I'm afraid I'vo forgotten your face ,
sir. "
The eyes of the man from Gunimon
twinkled brighter than .over as ho re
marked :
"It's not unlikely , general ; scoin s
wo never mot but once afore , you
wouldn't bo so apt to remember mo as
I am you. It's seventeen yeara since
I saw you last Things has changed
