THK Intor-stnto commission has been giving the railroads tips how they should deal with the Standard Oil com pany. The ndvlco would bo all right , if the lamb were not already inside the lion. WK still hope that the mechanics engaged - gagod in the building trades wilknct prudently and avoid a conflict in which they start out at a disadvantage by reason of the general dullness of busi ness and decreased building operations all over the country. Tnic retail liquor dealers arc trying to get a repeal of the ordinance which requires them to close their places of business at midnight. Such agitation and the constant violation of the high- license law will in the end aflord pro hibition fanatics the leverage which they need for engrafting a prohibition amendment on our state constitution. GOVKUNOH HILL is said to have spent over $ .35,000 in fitting up the executive mansion in Albany , and in so doing has made an overlap of $17,000 in excess of the appropriation. For a man who ex pects to peso as a presidential candidate overlaps arc damaging testimony. The governorfTiowovor , might run for city councilman not a thousand miles from Omaha. "NOT all the king's doctors , and not all the king's men" have been able to v * euro the crown prince. Between the Gorman specialists and the English ex perts In throat4 diseases Prince Fred- crick is having a hard time of it. The differences and quarrels of these medical men confirm the old adage "Who is to decide when doctors disagree ? " A TRAVESTY on justice took place at Denver , where young Henry , -who killed a variety actress last November , was acquitted of murder by the jury on the grounds of transitory frenzy. What ever this may bo , it will bo used as a defense by every murderer who has no stronger plea. The old excuse of emo tional insanity in all its variations has , In truth , become hackneyed by constant use , and will now have to take a back seat before the now-fancied transitory frenzy. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ CniCAOO yields to Omaha the claim of being the coming pork and beef pack ing center of America. AndPittsburg , in spite of her natural facilities , can no longer compote with the Lake City in iron andBtool manufacturors.This sounds like carrying conl to Newcastle. But the admirable situation of Chicago and the advantages of cheap freight rates makes impossible for that city to corao to the very doors of Pittsburg and take away her trade. Tnic Indian department acknowl edges that it is meeting with deter mined and serious opposition to the opening up of a part of the Sioux reser vation. This conies mainly from Sitting Bull and othor'chicfs , and the "squaw- men , " whlto settlers who have married Indian womon. It is about time for the government to "sit down" on Mr. Bull. Likewise ) on the squawmon. The open ing of the reservation is too important a measure to bo frustrated by these ad venturers. THE trusts have , strange to say , found a champion In Mayor Hewitt , of Now York. The doughty warrior lias had a tilt with Senator Frank B. Arnold , the chairman of the investigating commit tee , in which the mayor claims that trusts nro all right in that they lower the cost of articles produced for con sumption. The trouble with Mr. Hewitt seems to bo that ho has a million 01 more invested in Bovoral pooling "ar rangements" which not him a nice in come , and ho can't see anything wrong in them. IT looks as if Senator Edmunds was gutting ready to again sulk through the presidential campaign in the event ol the republican national convention fail ing to please him by its action. Ho de clines to go to the convention as a dele gate , which of course ho has a right ta do , and yet a man who is so largely a debtor to the party ought to bo most willing to take upon himself any reason able task it might impose. It may bo gracious in Mr. Edmunds to express confidence in republican success , but it would bo more to the purpose if tie manifested eomo. interest and zeal to se cure success. Now is the opportunity for men like Senator Edmunds , who huvo boon so- richly rewarded by the party , so show that they appreciate it. Cleveland's Ttenrtmlnatlon' Ansurcd. There is now ho reasonable doubt that Mr. Cleveland will have littlo' or no op- loaltion in his candidacy for ronomlnn-- , iqn. All the political signs of the last , hrco months , .which have culminated n the call for the democratic conven tion at St. Louis , point in this direction. The administration , however It may lave antagonized its political oppon ents , IMS shrewdly strengthened i.ts po sition among the democratic leaders. Patronage distribution , which for a , hnq lagged , has been accelerated In nn- .Idpation of the coming convention , and the offices of late days have been parcelled out with commendable haste , n states whore influence was most needed and was most likely to do the most good. The southern senators and representatives , who , up to the beginning of the year , showed evidences of irritation at the slowness with their claims were recog nized , have lately been swinging into line. The administration leaders who linvo recently gathered In conference at Washington arc already predicting unanimous renominatlon of Mr. Cleve land. So far as New York is conccrnod , the trouble seems to have been settled by the assurance of the Cleveland hench men that Mr. Hill four years hence shall have their united support for the presidential nomination. In New Jer sey the withdrawal of Mr. Blalno , who could doubtless have carried the state with ease , has stimulated the flagging energies of the Mosquito statesmen nnd the men who were a few weeks ago in private bitterly denouncing Mr. Cleveland - land for his radical tariff reform mes sage nro now publicly uniting to give him a cordial and unwavering support. No ono but the professional mugwump can doubt the eager desire of the president for another term of offlco , and no ono but a chronic "civil service reformer" can close his eyes to the shrewd and vigor ; ous political work which is being done by the president's friends to further his chances in this direction. Senator Gor man , whoso fidelity to the administra tion has been seriously questioned by those who wore not acquainted with the shrewd wire-puller of Baltimore , is working night and day to organize an aggressive movement for a unanimous ronomination of Mr. Cleveland. New YorK politicians by the score are being admitted up the private stairs of the white house , important nominations from Indiana arc being withhold until the faithful of the Hoosier democracy can bo consulted us to their wishes , and the leading Bourbon line workers from all the doubtful states are in close com munication with the president's advisers in readiness to launch his bark for ro nomination within the next sixty days. The Move For Lower Pasasengcr Rates There is a movement on foot in Ohio , as well as Iowa , in favor of , n two cent passenger rate on the railroads , and it is being oven moro vigorously pushed in the former than in the latter state. The people who arc must urgent in the matter in Ohio are the commercial trav elers , but they appear to have a strong popular support. A bill is bcforo the legislature to establish a two cent faro , and there has been some very warm work done by the friends of the meas ure and the representatives of the rail roads. The latter employ the familiar argument , always ready at hand when there is a proposition to reduce rail road charges by legislation , that the effect of reducing passenger faros will bo disastrous to the railroads , that it will compel them to give the public less facilities and inferior accommoda tions , that it will force them to cut down expenses in which the wages of employes will bo first to suffer , and in other ways it will provo damaging and demoraliz ing. The reply of the advocates of re duced fares is that the reduction will increase travel to such an extent , if ex perience elsewhere is of any value , that hiiv very brief time the roads will find the change profitable , and that instead of diminished facilities and inferior ac commodations the companies will bo willing to enlarge and improve them. The experience of Georgia is cited as furnishingtho most convincing evidence to bo obtained in favor of low' passenger faros. It will bo interesting and perhaps helpful to' the Iowa advocates ol reduced fares to learn what the experience of Georgia has boon , as sot for th in a recent letter of the railroad commission of that state. The commission was organized in 1879 , and ut that time five and six cents per mile was the ruling rate .in Georgia for passenger faros. In the following year a reduction was made to four cents , and in 1881 the commission required all the lending roads in the state to charge no moro than three cents per mile , allow ing some few short linesand the nartow gauge roads to collect some four and some five cents. The testimony of the chairman of the commission is that those figures have proven satisfactory to the public and profitable to the rail roads. There has been a gradual in crease in travel and revenue. The ox- .ample has boon so widely beneficial that now scarcely a loading railroad in the south charges moro than throe cents a mile. The fact is noted , and it is at once curious and instructive , that within a month a Georgia road has asked the commission to order a reduc tion of fares on its line fixing the maxi mum for fifty miles and under at two and one-half cents per mile , and less rates for longer distances , a , request that was of course promptly complied with. The chairman of the Georgia commission says : "My experience of an average lifetime in the management of railroads In a sparsely settled terri tory has demonstrated that the lowest rate that can bo properly said to bo 'just and reasonable1 will produce the largest revenue. " It may bo vroll testate state , for whatever such ' facts may bo worth , ' that the area of Georgia "is moro than throe thousand square miles greater than thai of Iowa , and the population fully a quar ter of n million loss. The number of miles of railroad in Iowa is considerably more than double that ill Georgia. Possibly sibly- the Iowa advocates of lower passenger songor fares may bo able to deduce something to their satisfaction from those comparative btatibties. On the other aaud the statistics ol passenger traffic presented In thb report of the Minnesota commissioners do not nnko a favorable showing for reduced 'ares. ' It Is shown that the total num ber of passengers carried in 1837 wns 8,141,103 , , and In 1880 , 0,323,183. The average distances traveled In the two years wore , respectively twenty-six miles nnd thirty-one miles. But the jross earnings from passenger irnfllc In 1887 were loss than those of the preceding year by 820,731. , In spite of the fact that the average distance trav eled in 1887 was five miles less than in 1880 , the average faro received per mile was reduced from 12.70 cents in 1880 to 2.48 in 1887. And the lower rate and the shorter distance were sufficient to moro than offbot the increase of 1,817,075 In the number of passengers. Different conditions affecting the railroads In the several states referred to , which arc outside of the ordinary statistics , should of course bo ascertained and considered in any careful and thorough discusbion of this question of re ducing passenger faros. It is un doubtedly possible that a policy which mighty make no damage to the railroads in Ohio , for example , would be seriously injurious to them if applied in Iowa , and it is by no means certain that the experience of Georgia is an entirely safe truido for Ohio. But the movement for reduced passenger fares has got a start that will not bo per mitted to halt until it has secured some concession , and this will .ultimately and at no very remote time have to bo made all along the lino. How They Operate. There is nothing very intricate about the inside workings of a trust , but it may bo of general interest to know just how these nefarious corporations oper ate. A member of the Standard Envel ope company recently testified in New York that this trust had secured a monopoly of the onvolopb-making ma chine from the exclusive manufacturer by agreeing to purchase ono machine from him evoiy month. Ho is to got his pay regularly whether they take ono or not. On the other hand ho is not to sell these instruments to any ono outside of the combination , nor oven re pair them when out of order. By these methods the corporation has succeeded in bankrupting several independent envelope manufacturers and buying up their plants. The trust has con sequently been able to iucreaso the price of commercial envelopes from fifteen to twenty per cent. These methods it will be soon are simple. It seems also that simple measures might bo enacted to make thorn unlawful. Society ought to bo able to protect itself from organized robbers. The Omaha Public Building. Whatever may bo the final action of the conference committees on public building bills pending in congress , Omaha is now assured of at least $400- 000 for the purchase of the site of a new postoflico and custom houao. Mr. Mc- Shano's vigorous and persistent effort for this appropriation , in opposition to the cheese-paring policy of his party colleagues , has in the main been emin ently successful. From the outset , the democratic members of the house com mittee , and especially these from the south , have interposed stupid and nar row-minded objections to liberal ap propriations for public buildings on the ground of economy. Sectional pre judice and a lamentable ignorance about the growth of western cities have warped their judgment , and made Mr. McShano's task extremely difficult. It is more than likely that .the confer ence committee will raiso.tho appropri ation for the purchase of grounds for the Omaha building to $500,000 as originally recommended by the committee on pub lic buildings. A half million is none too much in view of the fact that the supervising architect desires to have a whole square for the now slto. A square fronting two of our principal thorough fares centrally located , cannot bo pur chased for less than that sum. The frontage of a square represents 204 feet front on two streets , or a total frontage of 528 feet. An appropriation of $500,000 would therefore bo less than $1,000 per front foot , exclusive of any allowance for buildings that will have to bo de stroyed. There is not a square within five blocks of the present postoflico without brick structures worth from $50,000 to $100,000. As a business prop osition , the passage of the Mandorson bill with full appropriation for grounds and building would bo moro economic than appropriating piecemeal from ono session to another. But that is the method which congress has pursued heretofore with public building appro priations in all the largo cities , and that method is chiefly re sponsible for some of the architectural monstrosities erected by the govern ment at an enormous waste of money. When a fixed sum is appropriated for a public building the architect is in posi tion to make plans within the range of the appropriation. But when ho is compelled to design a public building on a fast and loose plan of construction guagcd by periodic appropriations , it is out of question to have a perfect plan designed to meet the architect's ideas of the wants of the city for which the building is intended. TUB strike of the engineers and fire men on the Burlington lines is com manding a larger share of publio-inter- est than any other event of the day. The formidable character of the diffi culty is fully realized , its progress is carefully noted in railroad circles , by the business communities , and by the public generally , and the probabilities regarding the termination of the strug gle are morti or less anxiously discussed. The determination of the parties to the controversy to hold out at every hazard appears to bo as strong ns at the begin ning of the strike. If Chief Arthur , of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neers , is correctly reported compromise is practicable with regard to 'all demands except that for three'and one- half cents per mile , as to which the men will not recede. As this is the propobl- tiou to which the general manager of the Burlington refused to listen , and to enforce which the strike was ordered , it seems useless to hope for any adjust ment through arbitration. , The indica tions are that the fight will bo mala- talned until onc""df the combatants is forced td yield. This may moan a pro longed contest , wli'h a { losslblllty of ex tending boybud Us present' boundaries. Thus far the inon qngngod in the btriko have conducted thambclvos as law-re specting citizens , and will undoubtedly do so lo the ond. WHKN the Eleventh street viaduct was built it was nridcrslood and agreed on by all parties concerned that the via duct should bo exclusively for the use of wagon traffic und pedestrians. All petitions and proposals by street rail way nnd cable companies wore rejected by thn council on the ground that the viaduct was not wide enough to accom modate nil the competing street railway lines and no monopoly should be granted to any ono of them. Now the fachomo to divert the viaduct from its original design is renewed. Inasmuch as the street car companies huvo not contributed toward the con struction of the viaduct and do not oven propose to contribute toward its main tenance the question is why should the council grant them the roadway which is none too 'vide for the constantly in creasing wagon traffic ? Would it bo proper to grant the right of way over the viaduct to ono company and re fuse to grant it to another ? WHAT is the use of n fire-limit unless the fire ordinance is strictly and impar tially enforced ? What is the use of a sidewalk ordinance if the property dwncrs are allowed with impunity to violate it and lay wooden or brick walks whore stone or concrete nro re quired ? Can the council repeal an ordinance by the passage of a resolution ? PIIOMINENTPEHSONS. Holmnn is the greatest tobacco clicwcr in congress. Mrs. Garflold has sailed for Now York from London.
