lu the Interest oT Iinbnr.
The house of representative ! ! last week
passed several bills in the Interest of the
labor of the country. The vote upon
those measures , as well as the anxiety
shown by both sides of the house to make
them as strong and cflcotivo as possible ,
relieve them of all suspicion of being , In
any degree , party measures , nnc } divide
the credit of their adoption equally be
tween the two parties. Onoof these bills
is to prevent the employment of convict
and cthe.n labor upon public buildings
nnd other public works , and was intro
duced early in the session. The expedi
ency of prohibiting the employment of
convict labor on public works will not ho
questioned , we suppose , by anybody. To
some , however , there may seem an ap
parent hardship and injustice in exclud
ing aliens from such work. It must bo
understood that the law will apply only
to those who have not declared their in
tentions to become citizens , and in view
of the very simple and inexpensive
method by which a foreigner may relieve
himself of the ( Usability consequent upon
his being an alien , any thought of injus
tice in connection with the measure must
disappear. The expectation is that every
man who comes hero from abroad
to establish a homo docs so with
the Intention of becoming a citizen , to
which he is Invited by ovcry considera
tion of personal interest , and those
who refuse to avail themselves of the
privilege cannot justly complain that
they are in anywise wronged if not per
mitted to secure every advantage that
citizenship carries with It. If , for ex
ample , the alien prefers to remain In that
condition because ho will thereby avoid
certain obligations involved in citi
zenship , it is simple justice to require that
IID shall also forego some of the oppor
tunities which ho might enjoy as : i citi
zen. Another bill passed by the house
was to amend ttie act prohibiting the im
portation of aliens under contract , or
agreement to perform labor in the United
States. This act , passed by the lust con
gress , had been found defective ) in some
directions , and the amendment is remedial
and to render llio law stronger and more
efloctlvo. The principle of the law has ,
we believe , stood the test of the courts.
We are uncompromisingly opposed tea
a policy which has recently been
{ reclaimed by a lew l' < ; puta-
bio but prejudiced and ill-ad
vised newspapers , that the government
should adopt measures for the restriction
of immigratidn , ono journal going to ilio
extreme of advocating as n moans of ac
complishing tins the imposition of a head
tax. The time is yet remote , if it shall
ever come , when the United Stains will
find it expedient or desirable to erect
barriers of any sort against the immiirra-
lion of the honest , industrious and l < vfr-
respecting people of other lands , who
come here to make homes for themselves.
There are still millions of acres and vast
resources to bo developed which invite
the energy , the brawn , and the thrift of
other land ? , and may do so for genera
tions to come. But wo arc in full accord
with ovcry proper and just means for the
protection of the labor of the United
States against , the invasion of the pauper
labor of any land , brought here under
contracts which subject it to practical
slavery , and which damage and debase
all labor. The measures to which wo
herein refer are of the character which
must meet the approval of ovcry fair-
minded citizen.
It maybe opportune in this connection ,
also , to direct the attention of workingmen -
men to the fact which this action demon
strates , namely , that the political parties
are not unmindful or indifferent to their
interests , and that their influence upon
these parties is qnilc as likely possiblv
more likely to bo exerted to their advan
tage uniloi present conditions than if
they wore to assume au attitude of indo-
pendent political action. The labor of
the country is commanding a degree of
recognition by legislators never before
accorded it. and it it is not misled into
mistakes by designing demagogues the
realization of its just demands Is assured.
A Southern Fulling.
It is remarked as a noteworthy fact
that in the national conference of chari
ties and corrections in session'at St. Paul
most of the southern slates have no rep
resentation , and that there is but ono
delegate present from any state south except -
copt North Carolina. The lack of inter
est south in the questions considered by
the conference is notably strange , be
cause of the generally loose ideas and
practice which appear to prevail in that
section respecting charities nnd prison
management , and which it might be sup
posed would enlist the attention and in
terest of the philanthropic and Christian
elements of thatsoation. If not misrep
resented the prison management in a
number of the southern states is badly in
need of reformation. Stories of cruelty
and barbarity , oven from states where
ho advanced sentiment of the tune re-
gpcatlng the management of penal in
stitutions would bo thought to have pene
trated , are not uncommon , and indeed
nowhere In t'io south Is the treatment of
convicts in accordance with modern
views. The barbarous treatment of the
convicts in the mines of Dado county ,
Georgia , owned by United States senator
Brown , is the moat recent instance illus
trative of the general look of nil feeling
of concern for the welfare of the unfor
tunates whom southern sentiment seems
to regard as having abut themselves out
from all claim to bo treated as human
beings. Evidently there is need of
earnest missionary service m behalf of
prison reform in the south , and it may bo
hoped that a serious movement in this
direction will bn started by the Na
tional Prison association scon to meet at
Atlanta.
Taxing niKlit of Way.
Under the revenue law of Nebraska the
right of way of lallrcads operated in
this state is exempt from local assessment.
The power to assess this class of real es
tate , including trackage depot , depot
grounds and buildings usoJ by railroads
for railway operation purposes , is vested
in the state board of equalization. Other
buildings and till real and. personal property -
orty "outside of saW right of way" the
law extiressly declares slmll bo listed by
the precinct assessors. But the proyis-
icns of tha. law have been taken advant
age of by the railroads to cover tax shirk
ing of gigantic dimensions. Under the
exemption of "right of way" the roads
insist upon including all buildings
ana improvements used for anv purpose
whatever adjacent to their tracks , hand
IH leased to elevators , factories and ware
houses and used for objects quite apart
from legitimate railroad purposes , and
the lots so ro'ntod or leased are exempted
under tbo railroad interpretation of the
statute from taxation. More than six
hundred city lots in Omaha escape scot-
free from local taxation because they are
listed as right of way.
It appears that Chicago has made the
same discovery and the city assessor is
nbout to tnko prompt stops on behalf of
the taxpayers. The suits to force
the railroads to pay taxes on
their untaxed lands will bo
based on an interesting decision
of the Illinois supreme court which is
applicable to Nebraska as well.
The case was that of the Chicago , Bur
lington & Qulncy railroad against the
collector nml clerk of Kane county to
enjoin them from collecting certain taxes
upon the alleged ground of double assess
ment. The only evidence of double as
sessment , said the supreme court , was
the aftlduvit of Mr. Hall , secretary nnd
treasurer of the company , who swore
that ho estimated the value of the im
provements ou the right of way tit $75-
000 , which covered several shops and depots -
pots In Aurora. The same property was
assessed by the local assessor at ? 245,030 ,
exclusive of the right of way , and the as
sessment was reduced by the board of
equalization to $105,1)81. ) "Uy right of
way , " says the decision , "can only bo
understood the laud used ns way for
I ho road , and not such additional ground
as may bo used for the convenience
of the road , but not ns a part ol its 'way.1
We cannot doubt that land used by the
company for its station and machine
shops , beyond the right of way , was
properly assessed by the local assessor ,
and from the schedule it is apparent that
it was not returned to the county clerk as
a part of the right of war. "
This is a common sense interpretation
of the law. "Right of way can only bo
understood as tl > o land used as way for
the road. " Every foot of ground used
for other purposes is clearly taxable ,
The law exempting the land used for
puroses of trackage and buildings
needed in the. operation of the road can
not bo distorted to cover enterprises of
private speculation and leases for rove ,
nuo in no way connected with the legiti
mate conduct of railroading.
Ql'iYnshington ? correspondent is
doubtless correct iu j vew iVwt it , ; .
Laird-Cobb olsoilo ] ) lias boon ovoworkod
bv Uio correspondents and givcil a pub-
lie importnnco that it did not deserve.
Yet it must bo said , on llio other hand ,
that it would bo n mistake to disregard
so disgraceful an exhibition of temper
and bad blood. It is a humiliating ad
mission which our correspondent make ?
that the prevalence of ill feeling be
tween members of congress , reaching
frequT.tiy the verge of personal conllict ,
is so common as to receive hardly any at
tention. It must disabuse the mind of the
citizen of the notion that the representa
tives of the people uniformly conduit
themselves with a becoming dignity and
a decent regard for tlio amenities that
should subsist between gentlemen. The
admission , however , is justified by daily
experience , and it is quite natural that
the man who is Constantly brought face to
face with the fact .should learn to regard
it as a matter-of-course , and so let it pass.
As recently as Monday there was an
angry exchange of personalities on the
lloor of the foonrtto between Miller , of
Now York , and Ingalls , of Kansas , tlio
former concluding his remarks by saying
that no man would dare to address to
him outside of the senate chamber ,
such words as tlio Kansas senator had
used a declaration that might easily be
construed as a challenge. liccause the
Laird-Cobb dilliculty did not occur on the
floor of the house , instead of within a
dozen feet of the chamber , that body does
not feel called upon to take any notice of
it , and the Nebraska bully will escape all
responsibility for his blackguardly abuse
and hia ruffianly assault. The congress
of to-day is perhaps no worse in this re
spect than wore the congresses of the
past , but if this bo so it furnishes no pal
liation. The people look for improve
ment iu the character and conduct of the
men who should bo tlio exemplars of dig
nity , courtesy and good breeding.
Tnu report that a new extradition
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain has been signed still lacks
ollieial confirmation. Unofllcial advices ,
however , from both Washington and
London announce that such a treaty has
been arranged , though it may not go to
the senate at the present session. The
present treaty stipulations between the
two countries authorize extradition only
in cases of murder and forgery. It is un
derstood that the now treaty enlarges the
list of extraditable crimes , so that default
ers , embezzlers and dynamiters will be
included among the criminals that maybe
bo delivered ever to the authorities of
the country whoso laws they shall vie
late. It is remarkable that such an ar
rangement was not made long ago , in
view of the asylum otl'orod by Canada to
criminals from the United States , but it
would appear that it hod. to wait until
England felt the necessity of such a
treaty as a moans of protection against
the dreaded dynamiter. The treaty
would bo in the interest of justice , nnd
both countries would derive advantage
from it.
ONE of our paraly/.od contemporaries
intimates that it docs not circulate among
tlio "slums. " The trouble with that con
cern is that it does not circulate any
where. The BEK'S circulation is among
every class and condition. It drops on
the porches of the rich and in the door
yards of the poor. It is read in the tene
ment and shop , in the houses of the
millionaires and the homos of the mer
chants. Its carriers distribute it along
every street in Omaha at a rate of nearly
tw'o to every paper circulated by all our
contemporaries combined. No journal
in the United States , wo say it boldly ,
has such a patronage in the city of its
issue. They do like common sense , hon
esty and a fearless championship of the
interests of the people , the home , and
good government.

Crime nnd tlio Police ,
Another street carrr'obbcry lias taken
place In the oulskirts/ot ilio city , and the
nflalr is promptly us d i\s a text for an
other barbaric yawp for Marshal Cum-
inings' removal. What in the name of
common sense can any marshal do to
wards increasing the police force , nnd
what difference would H have made if
any oue'of a half a ddzen of Mayor Boyd's
candidates had been in the marshal's
shoes on the night of the assault ?
This continued nbuso of the city mar
shal because occasional crimes are com
mitted 1n Omaha Is drivelling Idiocy.
For n city of 80,000 ptoplo , Omaha has a
small percentage of criminals , and very
few offenses against person and property.
When the ridiculously inadequate police
protection is taken into account ttioshow-
iujr Is really remarkable.
What wo need Is not so nine h a now
marshal as a now method of assessment.
Inadequate police protection is duo en
tirely to inadequate funds to employ
policemen. There can bo no gonumo re
lief until there is n swooping reform in
thoineaualities of our tax levy. When
corporations , syndicates and wealthy tax
shirkers nro forced to go down into their
pockets to pay fo"1 the cost of maintain
ing a proper city government wo shall
have it and not before. If our real es
tate assessment had boon made $25,000-
OCO this year , ns it ought to have been
made , instead of 9,000,000 , , wo would
have been able to have nearly quadrupled
our police force. As it is tlio increase
will bo trilling and of little practical
benefit.
No policeman can cover live miles of
territory and fill the bill. Uurglaries and
assa'ults occur constantly in largo cities
which are patrolled by block watchmen.
With-llvo limes the number of police wo
now have and the best city marshal in tlio
country at their bead crimes would cer
tainly take place. Persistent abuse of
tlio marshal because Omaha suffers from
occasional cnmo is indecent and disrep
utable journalism. Personal dislike nnd
a desire to bolster up political friends arc
no excuse for such a course.
OMAHA , too , sends a representative to the
colony o American bankers In Canada. One
of its bank presidents "skips out" with about
SIOO.COO of the funds of the institution. There

about to fall Into disrepute. St. Louis , how
ever , lias made It fashionable again , and the
custom isi bound to spicad once more. St.

The above is a slight mistake. A care
ful census of the Omaha bankers shows
that not one of them has "skipped out. "

Grandfather's watch Is battered and old ,
Innocent quite of jewel or gold ;
1'oor and common , and worn and cracked ,
Much like grandfather's sell' , In fact.
Yet its wliee/.y voleo has a cheerful sound
And the child as slio listens In wonder bound
To Its mystic tales of departed time
Is smiling as though at a pleasant rhyme.
Whataro the tales the old watch tells ?
Of severity years it counts the knells ;
Years whoso every setting sun
Was marked by labor faithfully done.
With primitive i'orm and clumsy skill ,
And clumsier help when tlio works went 111 ;
Yet serving their time ns best they can
This Is the story oftlio watch and man !
Many a fall hag the old watch hushed ,

For modern rivals , all science nnd gold ,

Under a cloud and under a ban
This Is the story of wiltcli tin'U iiiau.

Thieves.
St. JViiit.oncer I'rtss.
Among the numerous cases of embez
zlement , or stealing in high places , which
wore developed last week those of Belt-
7.or , president of the Dundy county , Nob. ,
bank , nnd Thompson , cashier of the
1'rovidont Savings bank of St. Louis ,
wore the worst , In both cases the de
pletion was so serious that the banks have
had to suspend business. Both thieves
were men of position in society , trusted
and honored. So brilliant was there
rnoraity thnt the man who would have
whispered in a corner a word of suspic
ion against either of them would have
been lloggcd beyond recognition. How
far these follows went in playing the
religious dodge is not shown in the re
ports. Doubtless President Beltzor had
"God Bless Our Homo"
n hnng up over
his mantel and sang "I have a homo up
yonder ! " in the Sunday school ns loudly
as the best of them. Protected from sus
picion by this atmosphere of morality
and sanctity , Bultxer and Thompson
added daily to their steftlago.
The result of these large exploits is
once moro suggestive of the very slight
scrutiny which the majority of bank di
rectors have over the books , funds and
securities of the institutions over which
they preside. Most directors seem to
think that all they have to do is to ar
range for the payment of dividends and
"
accept whatever" statement tlio officials
choose to give them. The cashier brines
in a lot of bags of com , nicely labeled
and scaled , mid says : "Gentlemen , this
lot is all right ; it will take some time to
count tills coin ; but , of course , if you say
do it , I'll go at it , " and ho makes a mo
tion to cut the stnngH. The directors
IOOK at their watches and tell him not to
mind about it. They take his figures as
to the coin , and as to the securities which
are in packages , and the securities maybe
bo only slips of white paper. But the di
rectors nro too hi/.y to count and scrutin
ize , and some of thorn nro afraid to call
for n count through fear that the cash
ier's feelings may bo hurt. When a bank
president docs the stealing ho lias supreme
premo advantages and usually has the
cashier in his confidence. IJcitzor took
the cream of the resources of thn Bonklo-
man bank. The business can bo largely
reduced in volume if stockholders and di
rectors would go through the bank's
books and securities and cash at brief in
tervals , They neglect oven ordinary
scrutiny to sncn an extent as to actually
encourage the crime , which by cuphemy ,
wo call ' 'embezzlement. "
A ROMANCE OF A JAIL.
William Hoddlng , ICducutcd

Ilccaiiio a Tramp.
Rochester , N. Y. , Special : An Eng

to learn of her sonV. whereabouts and
had given him up for dead ; how his
father had boon promoted to a general-
shin in the British army , now serving in
India , and how overjoyed she is to learn
that her son is still alivo. She enclosed
a letter to the young man which is full of
afluctionato ndvlco. The uncle's loiter
tells how Hoddlng'B parents gave their
son the best education , with the inten
tion of his entering the army. When ho
failed to pass the examinations the fat her
provided him with nil outlit and sent
him II rat to Manitoba and thence to Kan
sas , with the object of having him taught
a usolul and easy occupation , Badl > e-
, lmvior nt both of these places on the
part of the boy led to tils removal and he
became a wanderer , Sheriff Ilannan
