those hilf-sistors is consequently
if Btraincd to a delicnto point.

what the railroads and bureaus of Ne

of settlers and homesteaders.
WriHN a temporary legislator de
clares that the U. & M. will spend $10-
000 rather than see him unseated , ho is
overestimating his value as a railway
tool. A few statements of this sort will
incline people to think he is not modosl.
IT is evident that Nebraska's legisla
I ture does not intend to bo gallant and
and allow woman to vote. Women
must , for n time at least , be content to
rule the home. This they can do well
and all the legislatures on earth might
try vainly to prevent thorn.
THE promptness of the legislature in
providing for its own payment is per
haps nothing surprising. Now , if the
body will exhibit such anxiety to give
the people their money's worth as to get
the money , great reforms are browing.
Tins Now llampshlro constitutional
convention has passed : i bill limiting
the salaries of state legislators to two
hundred dollars a session. Such heroic
remedies are sometimes necessary to
.discourage long sessions and wasteful
legislation.

K are rumora of -imallpox epidemic -

it is causing much worse than the truth
to be scattered abroad.
Mil. MOHUISSKY objects to the noise
Biado by the pages in the liouso. Doubt

condition. Not that any human power
can suppress the young American page.
AN Indiana farmer has been fined $50
for posting White Cap notices. Tlio
distressing features of the affair are

statement of a local contemporary that
this will "learn him a losson. "
AT TUB time when anarchist bombs
wore exploding In Chicago the samu
policemen who are now being bitterly
attached by the press wore considered
quito useful. Their heads are marked
for the basket , and It is already for
gotten that they over did anything
commendable. Republics are ungrate
ful , and Chicago feels big enough to npa
this rather disreputable trait.
TUB Denver police force , from all re
ports , has not boon In u satisfactory
condition. It has fallen into the hands
of local ward politicians who use the
police department as n leverage for
patronage. The result IB , as might
have boon expected , that the depart-
jaont has become inefllclont and demor-
iill'/od. A demand is made that the po
lice force of the city bo put under the
control of police commissioners up-
pointed by the governor. Denver hus
arrived at that station in her growth
where n revision in her charter is nooos-
gnry. She would do well to follow the
example of Omaha and Kansas City
mid oloan her skirts from the taint of
local corruption in the management of
Jior municipal affairs.
ELECTION ItEVOKMS.
The State Fanners' alliance has ,
among other other reforms , recom
mended the Australian system of elec
tions. And yet wo venture to assorl
not one of fifty members of the alliance
knows anything about the practical operations
orations of the system. They talk
about Its wholesome effect in Massa
chusetts , where it is yet to bo tried. In
our opinion the Australian election law
cannot bo transplanted upon American
soil with nny more reasonable assurance
of success than you could transplant
Australian fruit trees or Australian domestic -
mostic animals to the soil of Nebraska
That we need election law reforms
gees without 'saying , but the Austra
lian system is altogether too cumber
some and expensive. Under this syslen
no election could be held in the city o
Omaha without entailing tin expense on
the stale , countv or city of at least five
thousand dollars. Every election in
Omaha would require more than one
hundred voting places , specially
adapted to the Australian system , with
voting stalls and peculiar conveniences
for election olllcors and voters. These
election rooms would cost not loss thar
from ten to twenty dollars each foi
rental and fitting , or about fifteen hun
dred dollars for one hundred voting
places. It would require at least throe
hundred judges and clerks of election
one hundred policemen and one hun
dred guides , philosophers and friends
to instruct the uninitiated into the mys
teries of ticket marking. At three dollars
lars a day for each of those olllcials , the
expense would mount up to fifteen hun
dred dollars. Then comes the oxpcnso
of stationery , ticket printing , etc. ,
which this paternal system contem
plates.
In view of the fact that at least three
elections take place in Omaha every
twelve months the lowest estimate
could not fall short of from
twelve thousand to fifteen thous-
f nd dollars a year for election
expenses , which would increase exactly
in ratio with the increase of popula
tion. In a city of two hundred thousand
population every election under the
Australian system would cost from ton
thousand to fifteen thousand dollars.
The advocates of the Australian reform
do not , however , care what expense
would bo incurred , so long as their pe
culiar hobby would bo introduced.
But is the Australian system the only
effective remedy against the bribery
and intimidation of voters , and
against repeating , ballot box swin
dles and all the frauds practiced
under our present election lawsV If so
wo should certainly favor its adoption
no matter at what cost. Wo fool con
fident , however , that our legislature
can devise election reforms that will bo
more simple , less costly and fully as
elVoctivo in checking election frauds as
any law imported from Australia. With
a rigid registration law for cities and
restrictions that will compel the estab
lishment of one voting place for every
throe or four hundred voters , with regu
lations that will prevent anybody ex
cept the voter from approaching within
fifty feet of the polling place ,
and a law that will require
all tickets to bo of u uniform texture of
white paper of a prescribed width and
length , and with clearly defined qualifi
cation for clerks and judges and com
pulsory attendance of these officers the
worst evils of the present system will bo
done away with. Wo do not intimate
that these reforms will do away with
bribery at elections. No method yet
devised in Australia or any other coun
try has ever been effective In that re
gard. Bribery of the actual voter and
payment for votes delivered to the pur
chaser in oion ) market can bo suppressed
under our present laws if our
constabulary would do its duty. But
the more dangerous and far reaching
system of bribery that rewards with
money , desirable employment , political
patronage or valuable gifts , mon who
wield an influence ever largo or small
bodies of voters , like double distilled
poison is most difficult to trace and sel
dom if over can bo reached by the arm
of the law.
HE OIVBS IT UP.
It is announced that Mr. Bromley ,
who has boon acting as assistant to Mr.
Charles Francis Adams , will retire
from that position , and the department
of which ho is the head will bo abel
ished. The duties of Mr. Bromley , it
appears , wore to assist the president of
the Union Pacific in his efforts to secure
a settlement with the government and
to inform and influence the press re
garding the wishes and aims of the
corporation. It scorns that the ox-
journalist has been successful to the
extent of "moderating" the tone of the
press , but the failure of the scheme for
a settlement with the government , as
contemplated in the Outhwaito
bill , renders unnecessary nny further
effort to influence public opinion
through the newspapers , and therefore
a largo item in the annual expenditures
of the Union Pacific is to bo cut off.
In his letter to Bromloy , Mr. Adams
virtually gives up the long fight ho has
bcon making to obtain for the Union
Pacific a sixty or eighty year exten
sion on its government debt , and inti
mates that ho does not intend to renew
it. Ills disappointment is not con
cealed \vhon ho says ho has "waited
four years in a futile attempt
at honest settlement , " ana has
no more years to give to the work.
But Mr. Adams should really bo
vary well satisfied in contemplating tlio
'act ' that his efforts during these four
years have boon effective in preventing
ogislation that would have scoured an
lonest settlement of the Union Pacific
obligations. In accomplishing this ho
lias done much more than would have
joon possible with congresses faithful
.o the interests of the people and the
rights of the government.
The letter of Mr. Adams suggests that
lie is growing weary of the arduous du
ties of a railroad president , and gives
color to the recent report of his intended
retirement. He plainly foresees that
; here will bo no legislation of tno
kind ho desires by the present con-
jross , and evidently does not hope
for anything from the next. It will
not therefore bo surprising if Mr.
Adams shall determine to lay aside the
cares and responsibilities of n position
which apparently has brought him only
disappointment.
Aft ormwoiiKKn COMMISSION.
There is one criticism to bo made
upon the work of the inter-state com
merce commission which should im
press itself upon congress. It refers to
the statistical department , the informa
tion furnished by which is both inade
quate and to a considerable extent In
correct. The explanation appears to bo
that this branch of the commission's
work has had a very much greater de
mand made upon It than it was possible
to meet with the limited clerical
Bdrvlco provided. The enormous extent -
tent of the labor devolved upon the
olfipcr in charge of the department
of rates and transportation will bo un-
tlcratood when the fact is stated that no
less than two hundred and seventy
thousand tariffs have boon received and
filed , and that they con tin no to como In
at the rate of live hundred a dny , re
quiring a force of fourteen mon to at
tend to them. Formerly this ollicor
also had charge of the statistics , but
when it was found that ho could not
manage both , a subdivision was created
for the collection of railroad statistics
and placed in control of Prof. II. C.
Adams.
The report of the commission just is
sued , so far as relates to the statistics
supplied , is disappointing. It does not
appear that this is duo lo incompetence
or any lack of diligence on the part of
Prof. Adams. Having had nothing to
do with proscribing the information to
bo obtained , which ho evidently thinks
might have boon modified to advantage ,
the statistician was handicapped at the
outset. The intention was to obtain
statistics more complete and detailed
than these of any other country , and
while in order to do this both labor and
expense wore imposed on the railroads ,
the provision made for enabling the
sub-division charged with tabulating
and classifying the facts was wholly
inadequate. The commission and the
railroads wcro both overwhelmed with
the work laid out , and as a consequence
it has been found impossible to obtain
returns available for tabulation from
moro than about ono hundred and
twenty thousand miles of railroad , and
the results from these have not boon
put iu shape to be printed.
But oven moro to bo regretted than
the inadequacy of the information is
the inaccuracy of much of it , for which
perhaps there is not so good an excuse.
Such a discrepancy , for example , as
crediting Iowa with a little ever three
thousand miles of railroad whan the
milengo of that state is ever eight
thousand miles , can hardly bo ex
plained on the score of overwork , and
there is a number of other misstate-
mcnts quito as serious. Of course the
appearance of such errors must tend to
discredit all the railroad statistics in
the report , and instead of the public
being able to accept them as author
itative and conclusive , they cannot
safely be taken without verification.
Practically , therefore , the labor of the
commission in this direction is under
present circumstances valueless , and
unless provision is made to enable
it to perform the work : thoroughly
and accurately , it would bettor
bo given up , or at all events
reduced to an amount Unit will insure
correctness. The commission should
not bo loft in a position that will again
subject it to criticism of this kind , and
if congress is not disposed to require
less of it there should bo moro liberal
provisions made for enabling it to prop
erly perform its duties , which have in
creased in both variety and volume.
THE recommendations of City En
gineer Tillson that the paving of now
streets this year should not be pushed
too rapidly , are worthy of attention.
With forty miles of paved streets there
are certainly no pressing needs of ex
tending the work on the munificent
scale of last year. In 1888 , one million
dollars wore expended for the purpose ,
and miles of wooden pavement were
laid where travel is comparatively light.
As suggested by the city engineer the
plans for this year contemplate the
paving of portions of the residence
streets and extending a few thorough
fares farther into the suburbs.
This naturally would call for that kind
of paving material best adapted for
light traffic. The dissatisfaction which
exists as regards to wooden block pave
ment , should induce the city authorities
to investigate the merits of the vitrified
brick before the opening of tlio paving
season. If it can bo shown that brick
is nearly as cheap and moro durable
than the cedar or cypress block , there
can bo no question that property
owners would give it the preference.
THE real ostatn agents who wont
down to Lincoln two years ago to help
the boodle gang mutilate the charter ,
and succeeded by their underhanded
worlc in cutting out the provisions for
parks and boulevards , and the right of
the city to extend its limits ever the
area now within the corporate limits of
South Omaha , are at this time
on the anxious seat to have
these muoh-neodod provisions re
inserted in the charter. Had
these people not been so short-sighted
and imbued with splto-work towards the
editor of THIS Bun , who championed
boulevard and park provisions , Omaha
would have acquired from ono to two
thousand acres for parks and boule
vards , outside property would hnvo
[ icon booming , and there would have
bcon employment for thousands of
working people who are now idle or
have boon compelled to seek employ
ment elsewhere.

THE recent number of bank failures
through the small country towns of
Kansas , Dakota , Nebraska and other
western states'is attributed to the fact
that men with too limited resources em
bark in the bttsinus.s of private bunking ,
or rather in th6 business of money lend
ing. With a-ciiplt.il of from throso lo

TUB liberals of Canada hare lost
bean to some extent in their endeavors
to create a popular party in favor of
commercial union with the United
States. They fear that such a movement -
mont will bo misconstrued by the people
of the provinces as a scheme to bring
about annexation. Already the conservatives
vatives are making political capital
out of it in order to pre
vent the return of the liberals
to power. The situation appears decidedly -
cidedly novel to an observer on tills
side of the lino. Undoubtedly the
people of Canada are anxious for closer
relations with this country , and that
sentiment is growing , Ills recognized
that Canada would profit and revive
her industries by tin restricted trade
with the United States. Nevertheless
the fear of appearing disloyal lo the
mother country to a marked degree
prevents as yet any well defined general -
eral movement for commercial union.

doncd hor. The fact is that the correspond
cuts of the Russian and Austrian press hav
sent information which they undoubtedly received
coived , but which a little consideration must
have shown them was not genuine. Th
Slavons of the south are reckless to the las
degree in making statements , and will say
things out of pure exasperation and bad tcin
per which they do not moan to bo taken a'
expressing their genuine sentiments. Thi
is their way of blowing off steam. Milan ac
tuallv represents the liberal element of Scr-
via , for the old conservative party was the
section of the Ivaragcorgewitz family which
became extinct , the other day. The
Servians lire well nwaro that they are sur
rounded by neighbors who do not wish them
well , and there is ns much unity among
them as can be expected. Hut deliberation
in the schuptuhina is not cut and dried ns it
is In other countries of older civilization , nnd
it may seriously be doubted whether there is
not an advantage in this. Mou speak out
their sentiments freely , and the fact that
there was a great party , a minority however ,
that desired to vest in the king the extraor
dinary powers possessed by nn American
president was simply a recognition that two
great Empires have evil designs upon the
little kingdom " , nnd that the king ought to
have the "authority of n dictator to enable
hint to cope with emergencies. All the fur
lous invectives , all the throats and the abuse
that was bespattered on Milan and everyone
else meant simply that there was u differ
ence of opinion , There were no pecuniary
interests at , stake , for Survm Is in the gristle
ago and politics neither make nor mar
fortunes.

The news which comes by telegraph from
tbo Hague , that the king of Holland is in tlio
last extremity , nnd n regent is contemplated
until the end comes , Is of the greatest im
portance. The king has no sou , nnd his
daughter cannot inherit his rights as grnnu
duke of Luxembourg , which small territory
therefore becomes a lapsed fief of the Gor
man empire. The present emperor is noth
ing if not military , and it cannot be doubted
that ho will do now what his grandfather did
with regard to Schleswig-Holstem. Any one
who does not perceive that the Hohenzol-
lerns uro acting upon n well defined plan of
uniting under the shadow of their empire
every community that can bo claimed as
German is wanting in the faculty of percep
tion. Tno precedent of Schleswig-IIolstein
shows what may bo expected. The Gorman
empire was only entitled to Ilolstoin , but a
good slice of Schlcswig was taken because U
contained a harbor on the open sea , which
might bo of extreme future impor
tance. It is upon tha cards that the
German emperor will not bo satisfied
with Luxembourg , but will taito some of
Holland too , and the amount will depend entirely
tiroly on his moderation , for the little state
lies at his mercy. This will give the empire
the magnificent colonies of Holland , whicli
are extremely valuable , besides bringing It
so close to thuKngllsh const that invasion
will bo easy , and the battle of Dorking a
foregone conclusion.
