As A result of the recent conference
in Now York City , the presidents of
western railroads ask to be pardoned
for their past misdeeds and want one
more chance to reform and do right.
The question is , however , can the leop
ard change his.spots ?
Tun upper houbo c/f the Nebraska leg
islature has made up its mind to print
every bill introduced. That looks as if
twenty thousand dollars would again bo
spent for the purpose. Of course the
the senate considers this expenditure a
mere drop in the bucket.
THE legislature of Colorado will , in
all probability , adopt a high license
law. A bill has already boon intro
duced in both houses. The people of
our neighboring state have awakened
to the fact that high license is the most
practical method of restraining the
evils of the liquor tratlie.
IN all probability West Virginia

has as much as indicated that ho will

JUBOK GUKSIIAM has no compunc

doubtedly bo best in the end for all con
cerned. There is nothing more dan
gerous to legitimate railroad competi
tion than a bankrupt roiul in the hands
of a receiver.
Tins appeals that have been made to

must realize that the appointment of

BJCXATOH INOAM.S was not asked to
dluo with President Cleveland at the
annual dinner given to members of the
cabinet. AH president of the senate ,
Senator Ingalls' high position entitled
him to a scat at this regular state din
ner , and it is the first time in the his
tory of the government that the head
of the semite was purposely , excepted
from the invited guests. The rcabon
for this exclusion U not hard to dis
cover. Senator Ingalla on a former
occasion allowed his tongue to swing too
freely concerning Mr. Cleveland and
tils family affairs. As a punishment ho
has not boon invited to any ot the din
ners given by the members of the cabi
net or by Mr. President himself. But
the senator from Kansas will probably
? not Buffer indigestion on account of this
# utuilicd slight. .
THE nWHT or
The state board of transportation
passed a resolution offered by Auditor
of Slate fionton that the secretaries
shall give no Information to the legisla
ture until it shall have first been con
sidered and sanctioned by the board.
The purpose of this resolution Is plain.
It is n brazen faced attempt to block
legislative investigation into the
methods of the board and forestall , if
possible , nny disclosure of notorious
abuses which the board has viciously
condoned and oven encouraged. The
importineiico of Mr. Dcnton is unex
ampled in the history of this state. No
state ollicor since the days of Dave Hut-
Icr has ever Uarcd to interpose obsta
cles lo legislative investigation. And
no legislature that has over convened
in this state would for a moment tolerate
erate such insolence. What would bo
thoughtof Mr. Uenton if ho should order
his deputies or clerks to disobey a
requisition to appear before a legisla
tive committee charged with Investi
gating into the management of the au
ditor's ollico and the fa.st and loose way
of doing business for which that ollico
has been notorious ? Would the legis-
laUiro tolerate such audacious defiance
of its authority would it tolerate such
conduct oven on the part of a chief
executive ? Mr. Uenton and his ob
streperous colleagues nro evidently not
awnro that the legislature is supreme in
Its authority over the executive depart
ments. It has the power to depose
state ollicer.s and judges' for imilfeas-
anco In olllce. Its mandates are moro
compulsory than those of any court. In
planting himself in the way of legisla
tive inquiry Mr. Itonton and his col
leagues on the board have laid them
selves justly liable to severe legislative
discipline. The least thai Iho legisla-
tuo can do with any seif-rospcct in as
serting its prerogative is to administer
a timely and stinging rebuke.
A
The legislators of Nebraska may bo
able to find a suggestion regarding a
banking law in a bill that has been in
troduced in the Missouri legislature.
The measure provides for the appoint
ment by the governor of a bank com
missioner , whose term of olllce shall bo
for live years. The commissioner must
not be in any manner connected with a
banking corporationand he shall make
a statement annually to the governor
showing the condition of the banks of
the state. Any person or persons de
siring to engage in the banking busi
ness shall furnish to the commissioner
their places of residence , and thu char
ter issued to any Dank shall exist only
for the period of twenty years.
The bill provides that no bank , cor
porate or private , shall bo organized or
allowed to transact a banking business
in the state with a less capital than
Fifty thousand dollars , except that banks
with a capital of not less than twenty
thousand dollars may , with the ap
proval of the bank commissioner , bo
organized in any place the population
of which does not exceed five thousand.
No bank shall be organized in any city
the population of wnich exceeds fifty
thousand with a less capital than one
hundred thousand dollars. At least
fifty per cent of the capital
stock of every bank shall bo paid
in before it is authorized to com
mence business. Banks are pro
hibited from purchasing or holding
real estate , except such as shall bo
necessary for the immediate transaction
of their business , or such as may be
convoyed in satisfaction of debts , bought
at sales under judgments , decrees or
mortgages held by the bank , or pur-
chiified to secure debts duo to it , and
real cstalo obtained under these ex
ceptions shall not bo hold for a longer
period than five years. Directors of
banks nro required to bo citizens of the
United Status , who have resided for at
least six months in the slate.
Some of those provisions can bo ap
proved , but the bill is chiefly
defective in omitting to provide
for inspection oftener than once
a year. Hanks should be
subjected to at least two inspections an
nually. However , the measure pro
posed in Missouri is referred to simply
for whatever suggestion it may contain ,
THU T315K having already indicated the
general and leading principles to bo
observed in giving Nebraska an entirely
safe and satisfactory banking law.
AX EXTIIA SESSION.
The United States senate will remain
in session after the 4th of March in
order to confirm the cabinet appoint
ments of the president , and such others
as the new administration may deem
necessary lo bo made at once. This
would require the senate to remain in
session only u brief time. The indica
tions nro , however , that an extra ses
sion of the Fifty-first congress is inevit
able. The interviews of TUB BJSU'H
Washington correspondent with repub
lican members of both houses show that
they generally favor con veiling the next
congress before Ihe regular llmo if de
manded tariff and territorial legislation
fails in the present congress , as now ap
pears more than probable. It is be
lieved , also , that General Harrison Is
favorable to an extra session In the
event of such a condition of affairs as is
now foreshadowed. Tlio territories ,
and particularly Dakota , have no moro
earnest champion than the president
elect in their aspirations for slalohood.
If the democrats in the present con
gress por-slst , as it is apprehended they
will , in demanding' tlio admis
sion of Now Mexico and refuse
to grant statehood to Dakota
and Washington without his conces
sion , thereby defeating immediate leg
islation In this matter , it is not doubted
that an extra session of the next con
gress will bo called. The noxl adminis
tration will seek the earliest oppor
tunity to do justice to the people of the
territories which have a clear aud in
disputable claim to statehood.
But a no loss important consideration
with the now administration will bo
that of relieving itself of the necessity
of adding to the surplus from taxation.
General Harrison is clearly understood
to desire a reduction of the national
revenue. He believes it to bo unwise
to pile up a surolus in the treasury fur
beyond any probnblo future wants of
the government. No one believes that
n remedy for this will bo provided by
the present congress. The eonnto sub
stitute for the house tariff bill .will
doubtless pass that body , but it may not
even receive consideration In the
houso. The outlook therefore is that
the now administration will enter upon
its duties with no provision made for n
needed clinngu In the fiscal policy ol
the government. The responsibility
for this Mill not be with
the party of the administration ,
but it wilt be to blame
if it permits such a state of affairs to
continue.
The question of the organization ol
the next house does nolcnlcr so largely
into consideration ns it did before it
was clearly determined that the repub
licans will have a majority sufllclent to
make their control of the organization
secure , but ll i * still felt that it would
bo well lo have the house fully organ
ized In advance of the time for the regu
lar assembling of congress. There la
likely to be a prolonged contest lor the
spcakership , which , in the event
of congress not meeting until
December , might not be dc-
tertmned until after tlio usual
holiday recess , thus practically exhaust
ing a month of the time of the regular
sessior.
There is opM ) > slllon to an extra ses
sion on both political and economical
{ . 'rounds , but there is obviously greater
force in the latter tnan the former ob
jection. The cost would be consider
able , but it is reasonably lo be expected
that the benefits would largely over
balance it , while it is not apparent that
the republican party could loao in popu
larity by giving the country needed
fiscal legislation and doing justice to
the people of the territories.
DIPLOMATIC REFORM.
Mr. McAdoo , who represents a dis
trict of Now Jersey in congress , is op
posed to this country maintaining a di
plomatic service. He considers the
system absolutely unfilled lo Iho char
acter of * a free country , and regards it
as a most absurd thing that the United
States should send a minister to royal
courts. The Now Jersey stalosman is
not original in this view , but it is a
sulllciont answer to it to say that it
finds no support in the opinions
or practice of the wise men who
founded Ihis government. They
sent ministers to royal courts , and
when in Hie conslitution they empow
ered the president to appoint ambassa
dors and other public ministers and con
suls they indicated their sense of the
necessity of having such representa
tives. If necessary in their day the
system is manifestly far more so now ,
when the United States has become a
great commercial power , having more
or Ic.ss intimate relations with every
country on the globe. There may bo a
popular sentiment in the district repre
sented by Mr. McAdoo favorable to the
abolishment of the diplomatic service ,
but it does not exist among intelligent
people elsewhere.
Had the New Jersey representa
tive contended for a reform in
this service he would have done
something to win approval. There
is certainly opportunity for im
proving the diplomatic service of the
country and increasing its usefulness.
It has not been particularly honorable
or advantageous to the country during
the past four years. Perhaps at no
other period was the government rep
resented at foreign courts by men who
did so little to Iho credil of their coun
try , to advance Us interests , and to in
crease respect for American character ,
as the ministers appointed under the
present administration. Mr. Phelpshas
been a willing toady to English nobil
ity and aristocracy , and has done
all that his opportunilies per
mitted to depreciate republican in
stitutions in the estimation of
Englishmen. Mr. McLean , Iho minis
ter to Prance , is simply a good natured
old gentleman who has passed the years
of usefulness in any capacily a more
figurehead who has spent most of his
time abroad away from Iho post of duty.
Mr. Pondleloii , nt Berlin , has shown
some conception of the dignity and
duties of a minister , but Lambert Tree ,
Bayliss W. Ilanna , and several others
have proved to be lamentably out of
place , while our humiliating experience
with two men sent by the present ad
ministration to Mexico will not soon ho
forgotten. In tfio consular service Ihe
record is oven worse , Iho character of
that service having boon saved from
wreck by the experienced and faithful
men who were retained.
The next administration will have
few duties of greater importance than
that of reforming the diplomatic and
consular service of the country. Mr.
Cleveland made some good suggestions
on this * ubject in his last message , but
there are too many democrats in the
present congress of the McAdoo class to
allow Ihom to bo given attention. With
a change in the administration the
country may confidently expect such
diplomatic reform as will restore this
branch of the public service to the high
standard of dignity and usefulness it
once occupied.
IX SIGHT AT LAST.
The lower house of the national legis
lature has at last taken decisive action
with regard to the projected million
dollar postolllco and custom house build
ing for Omaha. The appropriation of
four hundred thousand dollars for the
purchase of the silo and two
hundred thousand dollars for foun
dation and first story of the structure ,
as agreed upon by the conference com
mittee of the two houses , was' passed
without opposition , and the bill gees
back to the sonata for concurrence ,
This will doubtless bo had within ton
days , when the bill will finally
bo submitted to the president for ap
proval. Although President Cleveland
lias during the past two years vetoed a
number of public building bills ho is
not likely to vote the Opmha bill un
less he also vetoes the appropriations
passed for Milwaukee and Kansas City.
Mr. Cleveland is fully Informed about
the growth of Omaha , and the insutll-
cioncy of the present public building
designed for a city of fifteen thousand
population.
While wo do not believe in crow
ing until wo are out of the
woodsf& can safely congrat
ulate our cituwns that the now
postofllco is wiliiiu sight. Wlulo final
action is pending nt Washington , it will
be well for our leglslntlvo delegation to
bestir itself in procuring the passage of
a 1)111 ) ceding jurisdiction of the state
and authorizing the exercise of the
right of eminent domain upon the slto
which will be found most available by
the architect of the United Stales treas
ury and the commission that will bo
appointed to fix tlio location in conjunc
tion with the architect.

THK Hm : . | A sensation has been created in
religious and political circles over the as
sumption by Cardinal Taschereau of prece
dence in the provisional parliament over the
lieutenant governor. Parliament opened yes
terday. Cardinal Taschereau and the clergy
hud been sent an invitation to attend , being
assigned the first Bpat on tlio iloor. His em
inence resented this , and writing to the gen
tlemen usher of the Black Rod , demanded a
position on the throne and claimed , as prince
of Homo and according to the rules of the
church , precedence over even the representa
tives of the queen. The speaker of the
senate and Premier-Morcior Held a hurried
consultation and word was sent to his emi
nence that what ho demanded would bo
given. A hastily constructed tbrouo was
erected on the dais beside the queen's throne
and directly under the royal arms , and this
was occupied by Cardinal Taschereau and a
body guard of prelates yesterday when par
liament opened.

egram to. Tun UEI : . ] In the Trowhridgo
divorce case a motion for an allow
ance of $3,509 for Mrs. Trow-
bridge's defense was heard yesterday.
One of the facts brought out in the discus
sion was that Jonathan Ingorsoll , co-re
spondent , was in the habit of talking over
the telephone- with Mrs. Trowbridge. Trow-
bridge began to got suspicious , for whenever
ho telephoned from his ofllco to the house ho
found it very diflicult to iiinko connection ,
as the wire was always In use. Under direc
tion of his lawyer consent was obtained
from the proper authorities and the wire was
tapped , and competent persons employed to
write down what passed over the wire. Then
ho found out what was going on. They
muilo their engagements unsuspectingly ,
and Trowbrldgo had a stenographer take
down their felicitations.

The Nebraska college of electors will casl
the prcskloiitliU vote to-morrow. Itlslearnei
that tlio audience room of the house ofreprc
suntatlvcH liiis boon tendered to the colle- * <
for the purpose. This formal proi-cediiif
will bo performed at the capital of every staU
in the union , and inauguration nlonu is lell
in the programme -ircsident-inriUinp. .
"Hny" Uusst'll , whoso brazenly disregarded
the instructions of his constituents two years
ago. Is hero nRiiiii whispering around in the
lobbies Ho has the pill to ask the prosl-
dential electors of the state to vote for him
for messenger to Washington to carry the
electoral vote. Judas Iscariot applying fet
u seal on the supreme bench would bo the
only ilttliiB parallel. The exact situation
seems to be this : Uusscll and lddlii-s ( , the
t\vo electors from the Third congressional
district , tire for Kusscll for messenger ; Hust
ings and McNuny , of the Second congres
sional district , are for Hastings. This
leaves Butler , of Cans county , the lifth
of the electors , holding the balance of
power , and to make the matter still imiro
complicated bo is also n candidate. The
gentleman from Cuss has an inlluentliil fol-
lowiuc , uud it need surprise no 0110 if ho Is
elected messenger. Bouio of the leading
politicians of the stuto , however , favor botli
liiitlor and Hastings , and thcrp is a chance
that the honor may be united in them , and
that they will go to Washington togothcr to
cast Nebraska's electoral vote for Harrison
uud Morton. Uusscll will hardly got there.
INTimi.STlM ) MllnlCXL SCHOOLS.
Two bills liavo been introduced in the
house thill nro of peculiar interest to the
medical fraternity of the state , and they nro
already provoking considerable discussion.
The Htato board of health seems to bo the
boae of contention between the schools , es
pecially the Alopathlsls and Hoiueopathists ,
tlio former having introduced a bill provid
ing for tlio appointment of two members
fruiu each congressional district uiul ono at
large , and the latter 11 bill that provides for
specific representation , that is , three
members of the Alopatli school of practice ,
two of tlio Homeopath and two of the
Kcloctic , keeping in mltul , however , a proper
distribution of tlio membership of the board
in the different congressional districts of the
state. The old school bill provides for the
examination of every physician practicing in
the state , regardless of graduation school ,
and eligibility to practice hinges upon the
liat of the board , which , if exclusive , would
probably result disastrously to the other
schools. The bill of the new school provides
that the graduates of every school of legal
record , properly registered and having a di
ploma , with satisfactory evidence of a thor
ough knowledge of therapeutics and matoria
medico , shall be granted a certificate to
practice medicine in any part of the state ,
properly signed by the president and secre
tary of the board of health , whereas the bill
of the old bchool omits the requirements of
evidence of knowledge in the branches of
practice stated. The now school bill fur
ther demands that after the college sessions
of " . (0 ( to " .II , no diplomas will be accepted
from colleges that do not demand a graded
course of three years , of not less than six
months of each year.
It would seem from the nature of the bills
that homeopathists do not intend to he ex
cluded from their rights as practitioners , and
that they propose to make a light for recog
nition in all matters that promise infringe
ment upon their professional rights.
llll.i : IMAGINATION' .
Governor Tha.ver will occupy Iho execu
tive ollico at the state house for the next two
years , life , health and strength permitting.
The Lincoln representative of an Omaha
paper permitted his imagination to run away
with him in to-day's Correspondence. The
governor has no notion whatever of stepping
down and out. He , nor his friends , have
never intimated that his resignation was
hanging in the balance , and the rumor has
its origin in the fertile imagination of a re
porter , it is well , however , to state that the
sensational item was not believed by
thoughtful people in Lincoln , and the only
object in noticing the ridiculous story is to
set at rest impressions that may be formed
turouehout the state. The governor is in
fair health. Ho has the general confidence
of his constituency , and bids fair to live to
enjoy another term as chief exe
cutive of the greatest of tlio
western states. The man who
wrote the canard did so to keep the stolen
message ehcsnut whirling , which has heen
worn threadbare in divers ways. "Tho
imagination of the knight of the quill , " sug
gested a gentleman of intelligence to-day ,
"always amuses and entertains when em
ployed in weaving a sensible story , but it
breeds contempt when used without regard
to truth , aud too much of it in any way re
acts upon the author. I think it Is time to
let up on the foolish thrusts at tlio governor ,
for the public is heartily tired of the silly
vnporings and twaddle. "
MANDIKSON'S : n\v.
The sentiment of the house and senatn will
bo taken for United States senator on Tues
day , at high noon , and on the day following ,
at the same hour , a joint session will bo
called to announce the sense expressed in
separate bodies , and if necessary , proceed to
tliu'elcntion of Manderson's ' successor. That
ho will succeed himself , however , no ono
entertains any doubt whatever. The assur
ance has already gene to him that
the usual attending caucus will not lie held ,
and that ho will bo re-elected on tlio llrst
ballot. Hut , while this is so , the formal pro
ceeding will not bo without interest , and
the usual throng will Hock to tlio HCC-IIO.
While everything promises to be as calm as
a summer's morning , the old-time habitof at
tending senatorial contests will assert itself.
The fact that a United States senator is to
bo made will prove an attraction HUfllcicnt to
draw. A lart'o delegation of visitors is ex
pected from all parts of the state. The us-
tmrnnco is given that it will prove a great
day for the hotels , aim orators who love to
spread the eagle. The gallery and the audi
ence room of the house of representatives
will bo crowded with people.

bill that was presented in congress
against trusts , fought the monopoly of
the Heading Railroad company and Iho
Western Union Telegraph company ,
and vas recognised in the house as the
unllincliing opponent of the moneyed
rings that are depredating upon the
people. His district sends a republican
in Ills place. la Minnesota .ludgn
Thomas Wilson , ono of the ablest , men
in congress , and Judge John L. MacDonald -
Donald , of the same state , re-
cogni/.ed anti-monopolists , have
both been defeated. In Michi
gan. Melbourne II. Kord , Timothy
K. Tarsnoy and Spencer O. fisher , all
of them outspoken opponents of western
railroad rings , have been laid on the
shelf. In Iowa , General Weaver and
1 { abort A. Anderson , who have fought
monopoly tvt every stop in congress ,
hnvo shared the same fate. The rail
roads made an open fight against them
and succeeded in accomplishing their
defeat. In Now Hampshire , Parson
McKinney was beaten by the same in-
ilucnce. In Missouri John .1. O'Neill
and Martin Clardy were defeated in
strong democratic districts. In Con
necticut , 1 Cohort Vance was the victim
of largo manufacturing monopolies in
his district. In Massachusetts , John
K. Uushcll , who so ably fought tariff
monopoly , does not eomo bnel * .
In California , Thomas L. Thompson

of California , and in Wisconsin , Henry

Smith , who defended the honiosloa'd
settlors' bill ngainsUho Paoillc railroad
rings , has been beaten ; and so on prottv
well throughout the list. This , " said
ho , "is not n , very edifying spectacle ,
but it is wife to say that those men ,
judging from the caliber and determi
nation that has distinguished thorn in
present congress , will not permit a tem
porary reverse to discourage them in
the great and laudable work they have
undertaken , but on the contrary , they
will probably bo hoard of again in * the
very near future. Monopoly and cor
ruption have secured a momentary
triumph , in most cases electing men
unknown as their candidates , and mak

come when the people will wake up to
