It is to be hoped , However , that tbo people , especially these of the south who repudiated the sentiments of the Okalona. States , will not regard the utterances of the awash-buckler press as emanating from sane poraont. They are simply the raving ) of cranks. THE special grand jury of 'Chicago , called for the purpose of investigating the frauds psrpotritod in the late elec tion , Is doing oomo very effective work. Besides having Indicted the principals in the Loman-Brand contested election , It h B determined to indict :255 : election judges for tampering with the returns seas as to males it appear that the appropria tion for an increase of the police force was carried. These indictments are the result of the Citizeno' association , which is determined to effot n reform in Chicago cage elections. It is evident that reform n that city is sadly needed.

THE 11KA.OAN BILL. It waa not unexpected that such rail- raid organs aa the Omaha Jc ; > tiMt'ca would oppose the lljBgna bill , but whco that paper intimates Ihit thia bill 1" a haaty moire it acxtcs s mothlDg whi h the public know a to bo f ilee. No bill hat over bean BO thorcughly discucsnl and caaolully oontldtr d aa the Reagan bill. It las boon before the hauio during throi different scneioni of congress , and haa been \fgorously opposed by the railroad lobby from first to last. Two yeara ago Wayne McVeigh , general attorney of the Pennsylvania railraod company , and formerly morly a member cf the cabinet , and Chkuncy M. Dopow , attorney of the New York Oontnl , and other eminent oonnseJlors and advisors of the railwnyu prosorttcd atrorg remonstrances and ex erted their utmost efforts ogiimt this bill. Notwithstanding all this poworfu opposition the house passed the bill well knowing tba1 it waa the very bcs measure tliat could be adopted to moo the demands of the people. Popnla oontlmont alone has overcome the rail way pressure. The members of the house saw that their tenure of oflico depended upon Its adoption. Even Mr , Weaver , who is by no means a very ram pant nnti'tuonopollst , not ( [ only voted for it , but made a speech in its favor. Th Republican , in its comments on this bill says : The Kf agin bill hes some good features but thnro are two or three so bnd tha their clTect will bo immeasurably wora than the proscmt lack of law. And yj there ia a popular clamor for the pscoagi of thatbill , oven the Nebraska legislature , which , according to the high antl-mo nopoly authority , is in the firm uraep ol the railroads , passing ncanimonely a resolution solution practically ondnrting It. Now , nine tenths of the Nebraska leg 'filature , representing poifcctly nine tenths of the people who are claino ipj for the passage of the Rrgan aF ! ir , knnv no more about the bill than they do tin day after to-morrow. They know then are railroad abuses , and that thii tliinj ossuinoo to bo in the nature of relief , They know that they are sputtering ii the trying-pan , but they are utterly ob livious tu the fact that the Hop which thcj desire to take w/11 / Jand them in the fito , It is to bo hoped aud behoved that ou Nebraska republican senator will take the Nebraska legislature's resolution for just vliat it is worth , and vo'o on the Regan bill according to its enlightened consci- ontiousncss. Novr lot us ECO what the principal fea tures of this bill aro. As its title Implies , the RoBgin bill docs not apply to rail roads operated within the boundaries of any ono state , but to roads that run from ouo state into another. In the first sec tion it strikes a blow at discrimination , which is ono of tbo very worst and most ccnimon abuses practiced by the rail- r < rido. It distinctly says that no interstate - state railway shall charge any person any gtcitor or less rate or amount of freight compenration or reward than Is charged or received from any other person for like and contemporaneous service in car rying , receiving , delivering , atorlng or D. handling the came , end all charges for Bucli services shall ba reasonable. Now , wo ask , can there bo , fnythinic fairer than thii ] Should not the railways , whose corporate ex , istence depends wholly upon leg's- lativo enactment , and which are public servants in the capacity of common car- rlcri , treat all Ita patrons on a perfect equality ? Can there bo anything more unjust than discrimination on the part of public carriers ? Certainly no fault can bo justly found with this feature of the n Regan bill. The same Is true as to the n passenger service. Any person having purchased a ticket from ono state to an other , or paid the required fare , shall re ceive tbo eamo treatment and bo afforded the fame facilities and accommodations , at are furnished all other persons , holding tickets of the same class , without diacrlminatiDn , an3 furthermore , discrimination as to rsca cr color Is pro hibited. Tbo passenger fora ahull not exceed - coed three cents a milo , which is raally above the average ruto now charged on through tickets. "Section 2 prohibit B all drawbacks aud w rebates , which are so frequently given by of railroads to the advantage of ono patron 'g and to the detriment of another. This JO haa boon resorted to system to build up st favorites and punish enemies , and has on- 0- crod largely into politics whsro It CDuld a10 bo easily utoi as a moans of bribery. 10 Not content with ' giving icba'oi to polit ofm ical favorite j In the various campaigns m the boinas have railway rewarded purcbas- ro able members of the legislature , who hip- poned to bo ecgigod In mercantile bnsl ness , with rebates that have been of great value to them. Certainly no honest mar on can find any fault with the prclubitlor. er of tlii rebate system , which hai ae proved such a powerful factor in the corruption aea a- ruption of politics and legislation , and , the demoralizition of the business ol he thoto men who have boon opposed to the u- abuses practiced by the railways , nSection 3 prohibits pooling botwoor he competing , rallroads. Does the JRepiib itt lican uphold pooling ? Section d miakos it unlawful for an ] h corporation "or person tochurge or reccivi ite any greater compensation for a slmila : ke amount aud kind of property for carry au ing , receiving , storing , forwarding 01 It handling the aame for a shorter than foi lis a longer distance on any railroad or pipe laline. . en ThU memo , for Icstauce , that thi ie- Union Pacific cannot charge $90 for a .01 . ; ol load of freight from Council Bluffs t < y Columbus , If it charges oaly $70 for a cai ir- load from Council Bluffs to .Grand Ishnd. id I There is certainly nothing unreasonable ail about that proposition. ce | Itir , in fact , in favor of ( he railroad , because it is permitted to charge as muol for ft short haul as it does for a loogei one , yet there hai been A great howl about l i and an attempt hai been made fc i malet > public believe that it pro- vi led for a Pr ° rain mileage. It doe * oothfpg of Uiajdnd. It it ( imply 'merj . ftt thn outrageous diicrlmination prac.jo UcoJ , P.ot on y by the Union P clGo and Central PactGc , but by olhor roads. This KM hewn up by Senator Vn Wyck in hts recent speech by citin ? , among other Cftjes , { that of the Control Pacific. Uc s&U : "For instance , from New York to San S3CO. That. Frsncitcj a c r is charged most bo considered nccoriirg to honesty , n fair rate , for they fixed It without compolItioD. Then to a point COO miles onat of S.in Francisco , whore the car is stopped , they chngo 3300. The r o to Sin Francisco , and S500 back , the local rote , ranking that car cost § 800 , while the ouo curried MX hundred mites farther is only charged ? 300. Is it not evident thnt railroads should bo restricted from exacting more for the short haul than the long one ? Will aomo senator defend this ana then show how the natural lawn of trade can stop such outrages ? " The remaining anotions of the Roagim bill provide in detail for the execution of the law. The offenses are defined , the penalties are fixed , the manner in which the prosecution shall bo conducted is plainly detailed , and the citizen Is allowed to select attorneys and a state or federal tribunal for the trial of his case. The Roagau bill ii simply summed up in n nntaholl reasonable rates , no discrimination , no pooling , no re bates , no greater charges for n short haul than for n long haul. It strikes a blow at the worst abuses , and hence it i ] so violently lently opposed by the railways and their organs , The Omaha Republican Biya that "I ho Rcgiin b 11 li.vi aonio good fcntntcs , but there nro t no or three so bad that ( licit effect will bo imiuoosutably worse than the present lack of law. " Now , then , will the Jtcjtublican please point out the two or three bad features ? They cer tainly are not included among these which wo bavo reviewed , and which nio the main features of the bill. The Republican denounces the Ne braska legislature for passing a resolution "practically cndorsing" , lho enactment of an intcr-stato commerce bill , and cppcals to S em tor Mamlcrson to take tint resolu tion for just what it is worth , and "vote on the Rogan bill according ta his en lightened conscientiousness. " If Senat r Menderaon his an honest conscience and follows its diet lies , ho will vote for the Rogan bill and thus comply with the general - oral dtinand of tha people of Nebraska. Bat the JKc2)ublican's appeal to Senator MandoEon u virtually an appeal ta him to vote for the Cullom bill , which provides f or u commie- aioo , and which , If adopted , will bscomo a dead-letter. Tno railroads know this , and If they cannot defeat both bills they are willing to accept the sonata measure. ! The main features of the Reagan bill are no now Ideas. They cover only what the people have bean demanding for yeus , and to-day.thcraja a _ hwjn Ne- b'raaki which < . contains provisions Identi cal with some of the principal provisions of the Reagan bill. By referring to the laws of Nebraska for 188) , page 310 , chapter G8 , it will be teen that an act was pataed to fix a maximum standard of freight charges on railroad * , and to pre vent unjnst discriminations therein or secret - crot rates , re'batos or drawbacks there- for. It dittlnotly provides that "no railroad company shall demand , charge , collect or rocciyj for such ( freight ) transportation for any specified distance a greater sum than it demands , charges , collects or receives for a greater distance. " Hero then wo have the short and long haul question settled by law in Nebraska , and so far as this state Is concerned wo need not wait fcr the passage of the Ilatgin bill , which , if adopted , will make the Nebraska law on this point national. Our Nebraska law provides a penalty of $500 for each viola tion of any of t ha provisions of this act on the part of any railway , or officer or agent , besides liability for all damages sustained by reason tf such violation This law needs a few amendments , and then it should ba enforced. The same idea , prohibiting a higher 'charge for a abort distance than for a long one , was also onbodicd in the act regulating tele graph lince , passed by the legislature two years ago. - THE EXPOSITION. The suggestion made by the BEE that . Omaha should have a poimanent exposi tion has met with favor in every quarter , , and the time to strike is now. while the - i on is hot. Tha firs' ' ; step to bo taken in - the in.ittor of establishing n permanent exposition in Omaha is the organization of a company or association of citizens who will under nko the control and manage . ment of this impoitant enterprise , and raise the means for carrying it on. The proper location for an exposition building is within the limits of the business center. San Francisco lias the Mechanics'Pavilion as a permanent exposition building ; Bos ton lias its Mechanics' Institute ; and Chicago cage has her exposition building , centrally locatednot more than three blocks from tin Palmer house. The most desirable spot for a permanent exposition building in Omaha is Jefferson square. This build ing would answer not only for exposition purposes , but for a grand public Jtall. At present wo have no place where 4,000 or f,000 people can meet in public assembly. This building could bo utilized for music festival * , state and national conventions , and largo gatherings of all kinds. It aJiould bo constructed of brick and iron , and it's cost would not probably exceed $50,000. Such a building would bo ample for all required purposes for the next ten years at least. A reasonable rental could bo obtained for its ate for various pinpjiM , among which may bo mentioned a skating rink during the winter season. The ground ' is not ( axed , and tha city In erjoan'ge for IU oooupincy wou'd hav tao fret ute of the building1 for pa olio demonstra tions. A prp er\v arranged exooijtlon I1' * ? * iJl * 6 V/tK&Mti / ° ° be ) pen ] d ya 4 hlRhtVn4 In fact thia ia rrhat the itte f lr inckj It would b proper enough to have on 'cxhititlon of llvo atoth , horao r c3s hud other outdoor Attractions at the fair grounds , but in no event would bad weather inloiforo with the exposition under cover , and coutral y located. The exposition building In thn city would alfjrd araplo scapo for the ex hibita of our merchants and mnnufaclur ere , and thnt Buch an enterprise would provo a profitable investment for this city wo have not the least doubt. It ia hoped that immediate stops will bo taken to carry out aomo such project. GOVERNED TOO MUCH. The trouble with our legislature Is tha1 wo are povorncd too much. It seems to o the principal business of the legieln uro to undo what a previous legislator as dono. Th > a is true with regard the ho tax laws. The last Icglslatun Innged the time and manner of pay mcnt , and defined the method of colleo ! on. The present legislature will spen' ' ovoral days in considering maasnroa for lie repeal or amendment of that law , aid so it will bo with several laws. Jus ow the proposition ia made , probabl ; or the ionth time , to abolish the gram ury system. This anne proposition waa resented to the constitutional convon ion ia 1875 , and after a thorough con lideration was rejected. To abolish th ; rnnd jury will , according to the opinlo { the best legal mlnda of the country 10 a aariou a mistake. It is true hero are defects in that a/atom , bu with all Its faults It ia probably tin > eat method yet devised for the Invest ation of crimes. Whenever it Is dcfecliv a proper remedy can bo applied by leg islation , and perhaps the best way ta ai ortain wherein it ia deficient la to ob atn suggestions from the state bar aaao latlon or a committee of the boat l yors in the stato. To abolish the gran ury and to adopt the method of G ! ng Interactions before a nwglstrato would involve just aa much expense , an eave thu doer opan for numerous abuto and outrage ] , A grand jury Is a ncco Uy. Suppose , for Instance , it the wor of Inveatigating the Chicago election rauda had been loft to certain persons to obtain evidence , file informations , and prosecute the casoo , would'anything have been accomplished" ! Would 255 eloct'on udgcs have been Indicted ? Wo think not. The iuformation system places too much power aud discretion , and too many opportuni ties for corruption , in the .hands of the district attorney. As a rule ou honest ; rand jury carefully Invostlgatea every charge brought before it , and no Indict ment is found unless warranted by the the evidence. In this way many trivial asos are disposed , of and a heavy ex pense is avoided. The beat remedy , that wo know of for any cxtatlng\yil8f iBja careful selection of jnrpra. Let the pro fessional juryman and the jury-fixer be shutout entirely/.and1 "th'e grind jury system is all right. ' DYNAMITE -DIABOLISM. * * . lijb 31 The dynamite wnrfftrtoj has at last reached a climax. The latest explosion in London has not only struck terror to the hearts of the people of England , but it has aroused the utmost indignation In every civilized country. The dynamiters are pursuing a policy that ia contrary to all the laws of humanity. They are put ting in jeopardy the lives of friend aud foe alike. It is hoped for the sake of hu manity that the dynamite fiends will bo hunted down , and punished to the full extent of the law. The use of dynamite as a means of revenge or for the punish ment of any wrongs , real or fancied , is something that cannot bo countenanced. No government , monarchial orropubllcan , is aafo SD long aa such wanton destruction of life and property is resorted - sorted to by revolutionists and anarchists. What has happened In London ie liable to occur in this country. The object ia to terrorize by wholesale assassination and domo'Ulon of publio buildings in which law-makora and executive and ju dicial officers aaaomblo in the diacliarge of their duties. It is high time , too , that some action bo taken in this country to put an end to the encouragement and devising of dyn amite plots. Wo cannot any longer af ford ( o harbor dynamltism , which may ba turned at any thus againit our own lives and property , as it haa been in Eng land. , THE Dakota legislature haa suddenly changed Ita mind regarding the location of the capital. It seemed to ba a fore gone conclusion that Plerro was to bo the lucky town , but a motion to substitute Ordway was carried. Perhaps Ordway will be knocked out , and aomo other place selected. There la evidently same big job ia view in that capital removal scheme. Tim Chicago Times is eminently cor rect in its brief but pointed comment on the election of Stanford.and Spoonor tc the United Slates senate , It says : The election of Lelind Stanford and J. 0. Spoonor , a Wisconsin railroad lawyer , as Uiuttd States senators will not bo dis pleasing at all to the railroad intoiests. A few moro elections of thfs sort , and the railroads may bo saved the expense incident to Washington lobbying.
