KINO JA JA is occupying a good deal
of attention in the house of commons ,

IT is said that the internal revenue
bill presented by the democrats of the

.to protect moc-ns'hlnors' . It has always

' without the aid of congressmen who

TUB way the Now York senate com
mittee investigated trusts was some
thing like this : When it got hold of a
little follow like the tallow-trust it
pounded it all to pieces. But when it

committee used the softest kindof | gloves.

JUDOK VAN BIWNT , of the Now York
tf eupromo court , holds that lobbyists ,
Vho for pay use their "influonco" in
cocuring the passage of a law , nro on an
equality with gamblers who accept a
note from n victim on his winnings and
force him to pay. And that' such a con
tract is void in law as against public
policy and public morality. The people
of Nebraska will do well in bearing this
comparison 'in mind when the railroad
lobbyists hover over the next session ol
Ui 6 state legislature.
Oorernop Ttinyer * Pntjr.
Within the past ton days this tno
been Invaded by-fl fonoo of firmed
detectives who are now said to bo sti- (
.toned at important railway points on
the line of the Burlington & Missouri
railroad. This force hns'bocn Imported ,
nto Nebraska at the 'instance ot the
managers of that road , under the pretext -
text that they nro needed to protect tlio
property of the company nnd the safety
of its employes who have taken the
places of the Htrikmg engineers and
firemen.
The right of the rnllroad company to
exorcise all reasonable precaution for
the Hocurlty of its buildings , rolling
otock and employes cannot bo culled in
question. But , no corporation ban a
right to hire bands of armed men who
are not citizens of this state to exer
cise police powers and functions which
by the laws of this state can only bo
performed by the. duly authorized exec
utive ofllcorfl. . If the in rum go is of the
Burlington railroad have any fears of
lawless assaults upon their employes , or
riotous incendiarism , it-is .their privi
lege , UUo thnt'of any other * citizen , to
Invoke the' power of the local authori
ties for protection , and/if those local
ofllc'ors.aro . unable to repress violence
they have a right through them to request - ,
quest the governor to call' out 'the
militia. When the state has exhausted
its military strength for the restoration
of ordot'j the governor Is in duty bound ,
to call upon the president for federal
troops.- This is the lawful and constitUT ,
tionnl .method o'f procedure. Any
nttompt. introduce into this state
bands of armed mercenaries to overawe
oiti'/cns or interfere .in any manner
with their freedom'of action , is a high
handed usurpation which' calls for
prompt and decisive action on the part
of the chief executive of this state.
It becomes the manifest duty of Gov
ernor Tbayer , at this-juncture , to issue
a proclamation to municipal- county
officers' maintain law mid order and
to Arrest 'every non-rcsidenb wlio at
tempts to exercise , polfco authority , or
carries concealed Weapons under the
pretense of acting as guardian
to corporate property _ or . rail
way cirtploycs' Nebraska . is
a civilized state , whoso oxequtivo Is
clothed with ample power to protect the *
life and property . of every clti/cn
within * .its boundary. The importation
of armed mercenaries'is n defiance to
tho'statoi It is' an .incentive to disorder
and riot that shbuldjjo promptly checked
by the governor.
Both Parties Willing.
The officials.of the Burlington rail
road company and these authorised to
Bpoak in behalf of tlio striking1 engineers
have' expressed their entire willingness
that the issue between the cotnpnny and
the engineers shall be investigated , us
has be.cn'proposed , 'by'a. committee of
congress. Each of the parties professes
to feel so entirely confident of the right
and justice of its position as to desire
the fullest light thrown upon it and to
havo.no fears of an _ adverse verdict as
tUe result of an impartial investigation.
A candid estimate of this sentiment and
spirit must lead" .to. the conclusion
that both parties' , seriously feel *
that _ a . vital 'principle to cadi
is involved in the struggle , 'and
that it is riot -battle in which mer
cenary considerations nro the solo in
'
centive.
' . The resolution introduced in congress -
gross and referred tb the committee on
commerce provides for an investigation
and authorizes the committee appointed
under the resolution to offer its services
for arbitrating the dilllculty. If there
was substantial reason for believing' '
that the issue might bo settled .In this
way. the proposed effort to do so would
very likely-have general approval. But
there could bo no arbitration without
the consent of the parties to the contro
versy , and this method of roaoh-
* ing n settlement the Burlington
officials have absolutely refused
to adopt. "When it was proposed
to them their reply was that there
was nothing to arbitrate. Tlioy are
doubtless of this mind still , and there is
no reason to suppose that they would bo
more likely to submit the matter to the
decision of a congressional committee
than to any other equally reputable and
intelligent body of citizens which could
bo called together any day at Chicago
for the purpose of arbitration. The
Burlington officials have virtually de
clared that so far as they are concerned
there is no middle ground in the con
tention , and therefore no basis for arbi
tration. It is almost certain , therefore ,
th'it any effort of a congressional com
mittee in this direction would bo futile.
As to an investigation by such a com
mittee , would it accomplish anything to
repay the time and cost thnt would bo in-
\olvedV There is probably nothing of
importance to bo learned not already of
public knowledge. The causes of the
strike are well understood , and if there
mo any motives behind it that have not
been made public It is not probable a
congressional committee would bo able
to got nt them. Such an investigation
might do the ono thing of ascertaining
approximately the extent to which the
trouble has boon on injury to the public
interests , nnd if that information should
load to legislation looking to the pre
vention of such difficulties in future between -
tweon railroad corporations and their
employes the investigation would have
served n good purpose. That there
will some day bo a demand
for such legislation , if the
time is not now ripe for it , there can bo
no doubt. Every thoughtful man must
see the danger there" is to the commer
cial Interests of the country in the unre
stricted freedom of railroad corpora
tions and their employes to engage in
hostilities that may result in paralyz
ing the whole carrying trade of the
country. "What is obviously needed Is
n more clearly defined responsibility for
the performance of duties In which the
publio Is directly concerned on the part
of both common carriers and their em
ployes. The demands or interests of
neither ono nor the other should bo
permitted to conflict with their publio
obligations. Both should bo subjected
to such restraints and conditions as
would compel thdm to adjust
their differences .without abandon
ing any of the duties which. the public
lias the right to expect- and require of
them , and without Injury to any publio
interest. It IB not improbable thilt be
fore Ihe present strike Hhnll have ter
minated the ncccstlty of such legislation
will bo more generally and plcnrly' scun
than it is at present ,
A Blcp Forward.
The United States senate has gone so
far toward reforming its unropubllcnn
secret session prnctlce as to modify the
rule regarding executive sessions so as
to provide that hereafter- treaty maybe
bo considered in open session , if the
majority so desire. This is a very mod
erate concession to the public demand
for tin entire abandonment of the secret
so.-slou custom , but it is an encouraging
beginning. It would perhaps bo too
much to expect that the senate would
sweep away this old practice all at once ,
nnd jot it would certainly gain in popu
lar regard by doing so. . Some consider
ation , however , must perhaps bo had
for. the attachment of the older
senators to the .ancient methods
they havo'so often foun'd convenient
nnd useful for personal ends , nmlwhich , ,
naturally ' they will reluctantly part
with. - .
The step forward that has been taken
should encourage renewed zeal on the
part of the opposition to secret sessions.
The open consideration of treaties is the
least important result to bo achieved ,
Thd real wrong connected with' the se
cret session practice is the sttir'-chumbor
method of considering appointments. ,
It is the injury done to the reputation
of citizens behind the barred floors ,
of the sonnto , for which' senators cs-
eftpo all responsibility , . that is
the greatest -evil connected with the
secret session custom. It is the oppor
tunity ghon senators to .gratify their
personal or political .hatreds that ren
ders the secret session , repugnant to
every consideration of fairness and jus
tice. The custom Is without a reason
able excuse or 'justification , and it is
only a. question of time when it will bo
abandoned. For the stqp It has taken ,
Jot the senate-bo commanded. ' ,
Inflating the Gas CInlm.
The council has ordered the gae com
pany to , extend its'mains on Lcavpn-
worth'between Thirtieth nnd Thirty-
soventlVstreets. This.means , of course ,
an addition of from ton totwenty , lamp
posts at an' expense of from $320 to 8700
per year. The gas company's bills ,
which are systematically staved -off
from month to month , will thus bo
swcllo4'nnd ' when the great gas claim is
finally .settled it . .willrun up in the
neighborhood of sixty thousand dollars.
The plain intent of the charter is , that
the expenses for street lighting
shall. . bo part . of . the cur
rent expense of . the municipal
government just the same ns rent and
fuel ar.i. If the gas bills were incjude'd
in the monthly appropriations and paid
out of the trcnoral fund as the law re
quires , the city could command at least
'as liberal discount as is conceded to pri
vate consumers of gasi That would
mean a saving of thousands of dollars to
taxpayers. It would also prevent a reck
less increase of street lamps in every
directionbecause the council would have ,
td keep within the limits ofits capacity
.to pay.But that is not the policy which
governs the council in its conduct of the
city's business. * . ' '
THE'county commissioners have a
project on hand to add another story on
the county jail. It is a , very serious
'
question whether the jail noc'ds enlarg
ing and whether , in fact , another/ dollar
lar should bo expended on the present
unsightly structure. In thq first place ,
the county hospital , .which is now under
construction , will relieve the jail of all
insane inmates for whom , cells are now
sot apart.In the next place , the pris
oners convicted of minor offenses , under
the city ordinances will sooner or later
bo placed in a workhouse' . Every largo
city in the country has its workhouse ,
but it is usually located at' consider
able distance from the business center.
When the hospital nnd work house
shall bo completed , the county jail will
simply-bo reduced to n prison for par-
tics charged with crime during the pe
riod between their arrest and trial.
With the criminal courts in continual
session , the nXtmbor of inmates in the
county jail \ \ til never exceed thirty to
forty. For this reason nsnoil ns for
the reason that the jail will sooner or
later have to bo entirely re-built , and
probably re-located , the projected build
ing of another story on the county
prison is , in our opinion , unwarranted.
SKXATOU FAIMVEI.II has gene on rec
ord in favor of an unpledged delegation
from Illinois to the republican national
convention. Ho says to the republicans
of Unit state : . "Wo cannot afford at this
time to engender dissensions and dis
putes by trying to instruct our dele
gates , especially when wo know the
democracy will go up In a solid column
for Cleveland. " It would undoubtedly
bo a fortunate thing if the republicans
of every state could see the wisdom and
importance of avoiding dissensions nnd
disputes by sending delegates to the
national convention free to act accord
ing to their best judgment after consul
tation with the delegates from other
states. Such a policy would certainly
tend to harmony , which is so much to
bo desired , nnd could not fail to produce
results likely to bo more to the credit
nnd gratification of the party than can
reasonably bo expected if there is n contest -
test of the pledged supporters of "favor
ite sons. "
GovKUNon CnAY of Indiana appears
to bo a very promising candidate for the
second place on the domoc"ntio presi
dential ticket. The democracy by no
means feel sure of Indiana , in consequence
quence of the very bad record the party
in that state has made , and therefore an
Indiana candidate who is popular at
homo is very likely to bo strong in the
national convention. Gray perhaps
would stand best because ho would not
bo objectionable to Mr. Clovclandwhllo
YoorheoB would bo , and ho is not more
popular -.Tith the Indiana democrats
than Gray. William R. Morrison of
Illinois is willing , but then there , uro
at least two other ambitious' pol
iticians in thnt state either
of whom would bo equally available , and
who will stand very much.in the way of
the . 'ex-congressman. . It may be ret -
t
- ,
marked that MIJ. Vllas appears to have
dropped ontlrolM out of consideration.
The conrentionVhbwover , will have an
ample list to select from.
Mom : than a U4ck ago the directors
of the board of j do appointed a com
mittee of which Mr. N. Morrlam was
chairman to confer with the promoters
of'tho Council illuffs Chautauqun nnd
devise means tocofoporate with them to
Insure Its success. " Mr. ll r , president
of the board , took it upon himself to su-
porccdo that cohUnltteo and spring a.
scheme to sell a tract of land belong
ing to the South Omaha syndicate to
the Chnutauqua association. The propo
sition was very naturally resented
and the Council Bluffs delegation
returned in no very good humor , We
do not believe , however , that the action
of Mr. Her will bo sanctioned by the
board of. trade , whoso members ns a
body , wo can safely assert , arc in hearty
sympathy with the Council Bluffs enter
prise. When the board meets next
Monday , it will set itself right and take
such action its will dispel tlio Impression
that Omaha is inimical , to any enter
prise which Council Bluffs may under
take. .
HASCAM , is still confident that the
cdurts will lot him'relocate the city hall
Jefferson square. Why didn't tlio
b'ollwothor talk that way before the
court1 ! Why did his dupes and confcds
in the council all swear that they had
no intention to change the location ?
Did they testify under outhwith n men
tal reservation'/ ' *
Ir the Ice 'dealers pcoposo to give-
Omaha "a better quality of ice nnd
cheaper ice than heretofore by reason
of their combination , nobody will find
fault with them. But if the purpose of
the "trust" is to raise the price of ice
nnd freeze Out competition , the "ice
trust" will uiijet with a cold reception.

MICHA'KL J. FANNING.
lIoTclln How to Hcsono the
Tlio Tcmpcrnnuo Movement.
Hy 7:30 : o'clock Tucftday night the Swedish
LutlicrftnchurchNineteenth and C.un streets
was well filled. The occasion was an ad
dress by Michael J. Fanning , of Michigan.
lu n series of talks mndo by him under the
auspices of the Motroiwlltan . Prohibition
club. At the opening Hov. E. H. QrnliAm , of
tlio First United Presbyterian church , put n
damper on the enthusiasm , of the occasion ,
by requesting that however much the nudl-
tor might bo pleased with what ho hoard ,
that ho studiously refrain from applauding.
The Harmonica quartette composed of
four young liulies. rendered an appropriate
selection in n creditable manner , and Hov ,
J. K. Bnalgn made the opening prayer.
Mr. Fanning was introduced by Itcv. E.
I ) . Graham ,
The gentleman In' n pleasing talker , of
commanding appearance , and has the happy
knack of driving his points homo with Inter
esting nnd unique Illustrations.
Throughout his address ho exhibited nvery
agrccabla Inclination to contlno lilmsolf
strictly to his text.
Mr. Funning said the question ns to the
duty of thoclti/on in ri'gurd to the ovll of
intemperance Is now before the public. Ho-
lllon ( , patriotism and humanity urged And ro-
( lulrcil that war bo waged ngninsttho tranic.
According to tlio official reports there were'In
this country 2I5H)0 ( ) d'atlllorics , breweries ,
wincniakcrg and other dealers In alcoholic
liquors. Place all of these in a circle and
they Would make 'J.GS3 miles In clrcumferanco ,
or nn urea of 674,071 , square miles ;
equal In area to nineteen states and territor
ies , leaving yet n liberal surplus. Within
that circle could be found the host of humans
affected by strong drink , each tending toward
the seething cess pool In whlcu in 1SS7
100,000 souls perished.
Temperance fonts-wore Just like any other
folks , each hud a hobby.
Prohibitionists nbuiio and crlticlno moral
's\iaslonlsts mid vice vpra. The mscqtienco
was these two eiand divisions wore divided
and the enemy whipped them in detail.
The temperance horde could bo divii
follows ! First , moral suasionists or high II
cense and restrictive legislation. Second ,
sore-headed prohibitionists Wtio see good In
nothing but absolute prohibition. Third , the
best clAHs of all , and the ono to which the
speaker belongs , who believed moral suasion
good us far as it goes but insisted upon
u svstcmatic mixture of the two remedies.
DHo would illustrate the errors of tlio Hist
ami second class by the parable of the good
Samaritan.
The soroheadctl prohibition good Samar
itan would bo so indignant nt thoromlltumof
the sufluicr that he had no tune to offer to him
n helping hand , but rushed , off to abuse the
thieves and demand the immediate passage
of li lv l to shut them out of Jericho. That
Samaritan set his eyes so high that ho could
not heed the appeal the condition of the suf
ferer made ( o Ins Immediate attention.
The moral suasion good Samaritan , would
llnd his heart too full of sympathy forthosuf-
feier to bo Indignant at these responsible for
Ills condition. His entire attention would bo
absorbed in alleviating the sufferings of the
tnan , while ho took no steps to prevent a
recurrence of the misfortune.
The third class believed that reform in man
was like reform to the young tree. The care
ful gardener after ucnulng the frail brnilch
aright would not leave it , to its own weak
ness , but would place n support to maintain
It In its proper course. Just so with men ,
moral suasion was good as far as It went , but
it needed the cap sheaf x > { legal suasion to
make it effective.
Society had n right to protect Itself orcn'at
a e ; critleo of individual tnstos. The plan of
battle wi3 to wage war against the trafllo all
along the line yet never In the heat of battle
bo too busy to rcscua the perishing or care
for tlio dying.
There was a class ot men who -would sign
the pledge whenever asked to or break It
whenever asked to take a drink. Those
wcro the well moaning fellows without the
stamlnalo back tllolr good resolutions. Fof
them a pravcntativo as well as cure was
ncedcdi This was not found In high license
but their solo salvation lay In an absolute
abolition , of the trafllo. "What wo .need ,
mothers , " concluded tbo epqaker , "is a com
plete abolition of tills evil , BO that when your
boy Is away from your side * you need not lis
ten with fear nnd trembling for the Bound Of
his staggering footsteps at his mother's
door. " . .
During the evening the Harmonica quar
tette rendered several charming vocal selec
tions. This quartette is from Falls City ,
Nob. , and Is composed of three sisters , the
Misses Nowklrk and Miss Crow. These
young ladles added much to thq interest of
the occasion. Sixteen persons joined ( he
club during the 'evening. To-night at the
same church Mr. Fanning will Bpoak on
"Liquor and Labor. " A cordial Ipvitutlon Is
extended to aJl to bo present.
Saturday night at Exposition hall the moot
