The committees have a big job on hand , and if they con- sieler one-tenth of the bills they will have more work than they can do. Ninety per cent , of the bills introeluceel are not worth consideration at the hands of congress. Tun public \vill bo glail to know on the authority ot President Max Meyer of the Hoard of Traelo that Mr. MeShane's rail roael proposition "is maturing. " Its slowness in this respect is probably due to the extreme cold which has been very unfavorable for the ripening of that par ticular kind of fruit. Tin : treasurer of the Grant fnnel at St. Louis reports oflicially that ho has sent 7,000 circulars into the state asking for subseriiHions without receiving a single cent in reply.

Tin : sleeping beauty of Columbus who fell into a seventy days swoon after a few hours' washing has wakcel from her slum ber.

The measure follows out the recommendations of Grant , Sherman and Shciidun for an cfl'cctlru organization of the army , and should secure a prompt passage.

Surely the pro- \io-ptl \ invasion of the church itself and virtual confiscation of its properly should not take plneo until all other means shall have failed. And wo do not be lieve the day is near at linnet when the icdernl government will puuNh men for their belief rather I linn fortheirncls. " The lloiton Advertiser nnel Sprincdelel Jlf ) > itl > tfrnn takn the same petition. The .Missouri Ihpublican comments on the bill in the following language : "The pi-won convicteel of bigamy shoulel bo punished in Utah as in Vermont , but Mr. Kelmunds dcmatiels the attainder of n creed in addition to the piini hment of tho-o who , holding it , commit unlawful acts. Hecati o we are1 convinced , that is , because wo earnestly believe auel accept it as a self-evident truth , thai certain theories , certain tenets , certain dogmas are ) heretical , dangerous and criminal , we are by no means to attempt to cru h them except by punishing actual crime to whieli they leaet , on the legal com ic- lion of the criminal , unless we are to sanction a bail law against ourselves and put itiu the power of a majority which may disapprove our own crccels to out law them. If tlio United States govern ment can lake possession of the Mormon church properly in Utah , it has a prece dent which justifies it in taking posses sion of the property of any other church. " None of these journals have any more sympathy with polygamy than lias the BII ; : . They each anil all represent com munities in which thu marriage ; relation is regarelcel as the lounetntionof the social fabric , and in which crimes against it Iinel no open defenders. But suppression of plural marriage 13 one matter anel sup pression of a religious organization is another. Polygamy should be sup pressed. Polygamists should be prose cuted for violation of the laws , but the Mormon church as a church is cntitlcel to the same liberties and immunities from attack as any other creed which flour ishes unilor the protection of our laws. Executive 1'rerosative. President Cleveland is reported to have determined to inform the senate that his reasons for removing republican oflieials arc his own executive business. We have no idea that the president proposes to force a fight with tlio upper house of congress for the sake of gratifying tlio elofenelers of worn out constitutional in terpretations. The presidential pre rogative is too shadowy as a matter of fact to bo made a bouo of contention be tween its possessor and the representa tives of the people. The right of veto is assured , limiteel b3'tho power of thu house to annul Hie clToct of its exercise by a proper majority of votes With regard to appointments the president and senate arc made jointly responsible. Under tlie constitution all presidential appointments are to bo made "by ami witli the consent anil advice of the senate. " This limitation upon tlio appointing power of the president was made in the public interest. Without al lowing the senate to elictato the ap point- nients , the president was expecteel lo ael- vise with senators and to obtain their consent in cose advice was not asked. For its refusal to confirm any particular appointment the senate is accountable to its own conscience alone. It may re ject an appointee upon charges of bad character or nnlitness. It may also etc- clinc to give its consent for political rea sons. Our executive is not an autocrat whoso etiolates arc law. The constitution has wisely put limitations upon his power , and his conduct necessarily must bo governed by the conditions prescribed. It is not expected , of course , that Presi dent Cleveland will ask the republican senators for their advice about appoint ments and removals , but ho is obliged to obtain their consent before commissions can issue for any of his appointments. There are no constitutional rights vested in the executive whieli are not expressly granted by the constitution itself. The president , outside of the authority vested in him by the letter of the constitution , cannot dominate over or elictntc to a co ordinate branch of the government. Au Uitsolveel Problem. A St. Louis trade journal , the Age of Steel , has boon endeavoring to collect opinions upon the relations of capital mil labor. As the result of its inquiries t prints nearly forty communications from tlio leading writers and professors of political economy and from rcprcsen- .utivu manufacturers and working men. .The opinions as to the remedy for strikes , lock-outs auel disagreements between em ployers and employed dilFor widely. But .hero is a hopeful agreement on both sides that some remedy ought to bo found outside of the conflicting greed for heav er prolits on tlio one side and the antag onism which has grown up between In- Joring men and capitalists through tlio jcliof that the distribution of profits is un equal and unfair on the other side. Au entire agreement on this troublesome ptestion is not likely to bo reached until the mlllonhim , but its partial solution , within certain limits , is to bo looked for us practical. How to prevent disputes x1 tween capital -ind labor will prove more elilllcult than the problem how to uljust thorn when they have arisen. The organisation of labor to maintain its rights as against the unjust aggressions of capital is a constantly growing re strictive power for good. The increasing sentiment among employers in favor of of a sliding scale of wages in industries where the value of the manufactured product varies greatly will also assist natcrially in bringing about that feei ng of confidence between employers and employed which must form the solid foundation for friendly relations. I'lu'so grautoel , witli arbitration as the inal remedy when difloroncos break out nto open dispute , a long stop toward the iual solution of the labor question will iivo : been taken. The present era is ioticeablo : for the advance which has shown Itself in thought upon this great licouomleal topic , and for the freedom vltlihleh it is discussed by leading hinkorj from an advanced standpoint which Icn years ngo would have beer denounced as rnnk socinlism. Socialfsn is nothing more nor loss than an invest ! gatiou into the coiiMUution of society , thee eils which permeate it , and prospective remedies for its relief. It can no more be damned by Its name than any of thcotlici "isms" which 1m e done So much foi the world's progress In spite of the misrepresentation and abuse of their op poiienls. The enthusiasts anet radical ! in nil of these crusades have played theii pnit in awakening interest , often b.v arousing resentment , bnt the sobet minded conservative men of brains whc followed liave in the end carried the standard to the field of final \ictory. II is in the social upheavals of the time * that all parties who arc now fearfully watching what seems to be a dangerous eruption will find In the day ? to come the assurance of n better condition of afl'alrs than that which now exists. Southern Grout It. The South is pres-ing in the wake of the West in the van of American Indus trial and commercial progress. With le s time spent on politics and politicians and more in developing her possibilities , it lias made as marked an advance in the last decade as any other section of lliu country , During ( lie past year alone this section was able to show a clear surplus of a hundred millions and it promises to double it within the next twelve months Kvery indication tends to make it certain that this growth is a steady , healthy and permanent advance in material prosperity. Mines arc being developed , mills running on full time and absorbing the products of the plantations , iron furnaces are smoking in the mountains and facto ries arc springing up in every direction to utilize the raw materials of the faun and to furnish home consumers with pro- duels of homo industry. Over such a happy condition of affairs all the sister states will join in extending congratula tions , llubelliou and reconstruction were bitter medicine and the antidote was more disastroiis.and perhaps moic injuri ous for the time being , to southern conva lescence than the lemedy. But both helped to urge on ti solution of tne race problem , the problem of labor which lies at the bottom of all development , and with its solution has come the expected stimulus to local development. The new generation lias placed ils hand at the helm ami the ship is .sailing in open water once more under the favoring wind of fortune. Every ad ded industry , every factory and mill erected , every furnace and forgo in blast , every mine opened binds the ) south by the strong bands of commercial and in dustrial sympathy to the remainder of the union. Southern commercial de pendency before the war was largely res ponsible for the desire for political inde pendence. The new order means almost as much to the nation nt large as it does to the prosperous and prospering South. Tin : army is without a regularly promoted meted head of tbi > . huroau o justice. Gen. Swaim , by the verdict of a court- martial , is living under suspension on a twelve years' sentence , and his duties are being performed by n subaltern. The question is being discussed as to the president's power in the premises to ap point a , new judge aelvoeatc general. Such an appointment , if legal , would solve thu problem by wholly retiring Swaim from the service which lie dis graced. The supreme court some time ago made a decision in the case of Chap lain Blake , which seems to settle the right of Mr. Cleveland in the premises. In that decision the court held that the president can displace an officer of the army by sending the nomination of a successor to the senate in case the senate confirms the nomination. It might bo well to try it on Swaim. The failure of the court to cashier him in the lirst place was disgraceful. His retention with no work to do on a salary of $3oO 11 year for twelve years is an expensive absurdity. And while the question is up , why not abolish the judge advocate's do- partmcnt ? It is a useless and a costly e.xcreseiieo on the army. There is no reason for its continuance. By wiping it out Swaim could bo wiped out with the department which ho abused for his own personal ends. Ir h.is taken Governor Uawes a good long time to come to the conclusion that his secretary was resting under a cloud as a man who hael once sold a horse that didn't ' belong to him. When the charge was fresh and in everybody's mouth his excellency pooh-poohed it , and refused to go so fur as to demand a proper expla nation. Now , after eleven months have passed away , he puts his man Friday for ward as iv claimant for $ : iO,000 damages pretended to have been sustained by rea son of the publicity given to the crookeit horse swap. Ho will presently be accom modated. We are not in the habit of running away from a light when it is forced upon us. Wo shall make a very interesting case of this affair , which may make the fur fly from some very tender backed ducks before the hunt is over. TUB last time the BII : : was called into ourt on an alleged libel was by Wun Lung , a Chinaman who keeps a wash house in Omaha. The moon-eyed man modestly asked only $1,000 to reimburse him for damages. His excellency's man of all work , Milton Hoffman , places his damages at .JO.OOO. When the courts get through with these claimants the award to Wun L ing will bo a good deal heavier than that to one Iloflmaii , whoso name , fame and reputationcouldn't bo damaged fifteen cents worth by any man or paper , oyeu the 1'olice Uttzetle. f Mu.

Xow THAT the board of trade lias or ganized by the election of its thrco lead ing oflieors no elcl.iy should be permitted to hinder the speedy choice of a lirst class business man for secretary. With a good salary offered as an Inducement , sueli a man can bo procured who will pay his way a eleven time ? over in placing the board in its proper position as the rep resentative commercial body of one of the llvcst and best citic in the west.
