The next houao of roprotontattvos
will ho organized by the republicans.
Whether they will ho nblo to nccom-
riiah.tho hardly loss important work of
oforming the rutoa is not BO certain.
Flicro are intimations that the demo
crats will bo solidly arrayed against all
offoru to revise the rules of the house
so that majorities shall not bo at the
moroy of minorities. The urgent no-
cosslty that exists for revision , in the
ntorost of the public business nnd in
order that an obstreperous minority
shall not ho enabled to dqforU the will
of the majority , vrat very clearly pointed
out by Representative Hood in n recent
nagazlno article. The republicans are
n accord with this view , and tjioro is a
.ncit agreement between them that the
rules must ho revised. Were the pres
ent rules to bo continued the democrats
would bo able by filibustering to pre
vent the settlement of contested olco-
lion casos'nnd of ether matters of lojrls-
ntlon which they might dcslro to de
feat.
Knowing the advantage they would
losses ? with the present rules in force ,
ind the republicans having only n nar
row majority , democratic representa
tives are roporttril as declaring that the
rules can not bo changed and shall not
bo. The situation presents something of a
dilemma. The now house will convene
with the democratic clerk ot the last
: iouso as the presiding officer , with all
, ho functions belonging to that position.
The precedent has boon to adopt the
old rules until now rules might be
framed. If this should bo followed by
the next house the democrats would be
given the vantage ground they desire ,
and it is said to bo the plan of the re
publicans to break away from the prece
dent by proposing that the preliminary
session shall bo conducted under the
common parliamentary code , on the
ground that the now house moots ns an
unorganized body untraminolcd in it :
powers and'rlghts by any congress thai
preceded it. But it is in the powqr of
the clerk of the last house , in his ca
pacity as the presiding olllccr of the
now , to refuse to enter tain such a propo
sition , and it is not doubted he would dc
so. In that event it is easy to under
stand that n conflict might bo precipi
tated between the majority and minor'
ity which might have very serious con
sequences.
The great principle underlying our
system of government is that the major
ity shall rule , and every interference
with or obstruction of this principle is n
monaco to the security of republi
can institutions in this country. II
the democratic representatives in con
gress pursue the course which they arc
said to contemplate , the majority , in
the assertion of its rights , may be com
pelled to adopt extraordinary measures
which only the necessity of maintain
ing a most vital principle could justify.
It is to bo hoped that no such exigency
will arise. There are several months
yet before congress will convene , and
thoughtful and dlspassiouato democrats
will have ample time to reflect upon
what might bo the serious consequence *
of a conspiracy to thwart the will of t
majority of the representatives of the
people. Not only would such a policy
inevitably injure their party to an ex
tent crroatly overbalancing any immo
dinto advantage to bo gained , but it
might result in creating dangerous
precedents which they would profoundly
regret. But at whatever cost the prin
ciple that the majority shall rule must
be maintained.
OUR NORTHERN COMPETITOR.
The senate committee that is inves
tigating our Canadian relations has ob
talncd some interesting information on
the Pacific coast. It has ascertained
that the great subsidized railroad line
of Canada , which extends to the Pacific
is in reality a very vigorous compotitoi
of the American roads , and that thii
competition is not likely to become losi
sharp nnd serious in the future. Out
fact stated to the committee will serve
to illustrate the advantage on joyed bj
the Canadian competitor. It wa ;
stated that the Pacific const stoamshi )
company carries Australian wool fron
San Francisco north and turns it ovoi
to the Canadian Pacific railroad foi
transportation , sometimes to Canndiar
port ? , but more often to Boston. It is i
circuitous route , but this disadvantage
is more than balanced by the gain t <
shippers in the rates of transportation
The Canadian road being at liberty t <
regulate its rates with a view to getting
transportation of freight botwooi
through port ? , can offer inducom onti
which the American roads , under the
rostrlotiona imposed , can not moot , be
cause oven if the Canadian compotitoi
carries freight at a loss fron
Sun Francisco to Boston , it car
make up for the loaa by higher ratoi
between local points , a means o ;
recouping not permitted to the Amor
lean roads. In the transportation elton
ton , the Canadian Pacific enjoys al
most the entire trafllo. And it is nol
allowing any advantage to slip awaj
from it. As was said some time ago b.v
its president , it is worked on sount
busiuoss principles ns a strictly com
mercial enterprise , having no private
Interests to bo fed at the expense of it !
shareholders and interest to pay onlj
on capital actually Invested. Having
the Dominion government behind i :
and complete freedom in its operations
the Canadian Pacific- railroad la in r
position to carry on a compotitloi
against American roads , limited onli
by ita transportation facilities. Hov
this'shall bo remedied is a question
whioh oven such able sonutors as Mr
Allison ami Mr. Hoar will find groa
difficulty in solving.
. Uotorrjn/r / to the situation , the Sai
Fratioisdo Call remarked that the rcu
trouble in the case IB the ownership b.i
a foreign power of a woilgo of territory
which bisects ( he coast , line of tin
United States and splits our western
boundary in two. "Bo long , " it enya
"as British Columbia remains undo
the British Hag , the United States will
labor under the inconvenience which
Franco had to endure when
Calais wi'-a a part oi th <
British dominions. In the opl/ilot /
of the ( Ail ! there ibbut ono spot on thi
earth which the United States o.Jght ti
annex , and that is British Columbia. I
ia not unlikely that & majority ot tin
people of thai portion of tho' Dominion
would favor annexation tb the United
States , but their voice in the matter
would not determine the question , and
it is not at all probable that the Do
minion government would consent to
lose this territory. Without such con
sent the British government could
hardly bo induced to consider the most
tempting offer tlio United States could
make to sccui-o British Columbia. If
there is no ether way , therefore , ot
remedying the diflloultlos from Cana
dian competition which are the sources
of complaint , these arc lilcoly to continuo -
tinuo indefinitely. Even were there
no obstacles in the way from Canadian
objection to purling with any of its ter
ritory , the general sentiment of this
country would bo opposed to the acqui
sition at any great cost. The subject
of our Canadian relations undoubtedly
has , ns our San Francisco contemporary
remarks , "larger dimensions than the
regulation of tea freights , * but it will
hardly ho expanded so as to embrace
the proposition to purchase and annex
British Columbia , at any rate not at
present. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THE SCHOOL BOND 1'ROPOSITIOIT
Two separate bond propositions aro.
to bo voted on at the special election
that will ho hold in this city tioxt Sat
urday.
The first asks the sanction by the cit
izens of Omaha of a proposed issue of
two hundred nnd twenty-live thousand
dollars in fivo-por-cont bonds , to bo ex
pended in the purchase of school sites
and constructfon of school houses. The
estimate for the sites as submitted to
the electors is as follows :
For the purchase of a site in the vicinity of
Twenty-fourth and Lothrop streets at "eight
thousand dollars ; a situ la tlio vicinity efFort
Fort Oinaha at twcuty-tlvo hundred dollars ;
a slto in the vicinity of Gibson at twenty-
flvo hundred dollars ; a slto In the vicinity of
Dupont place at six thousand dollars ; addi
tional ground adjoining the Hickory school
slto at fifty-live hundred dollars ; additional
ground adjoining the Hartman school slto at
an estimated cost ol ton thousand dollars.
The projected school houses are , re
spectively :
Long stroct school , thirty thousand dollars
lars ; Franklin school , thirty thousand dollars
lars ; West Omaha school , thirty thousand
dollars ; Hickory school , thirty-eight thou
sand dollars ; Hartman school , fifty thou-
and dollars.
In addition to these the board also
asks in its first proposition permission
to expend twelve thousand five hun
dred dollars for additional retaining
walls around the high school grounds ,
and construction of sidewalks around
the Lcavonworth and Farnam school
sites.
sites.Wo
Wo should have preferred that the
board limit the cost of any school house
to twenty-five thousand dollars , so that
more school houses could bo built with
the proceeds of the bonds asked for.
But now that the board has loft us no
ether choice than to vote the
bonds or leave the city
without much needed school
facilities , wo doom it our duty to sup
port the first bond proposition.
The cry of extravagance and high
taxes should not bo allowed to outweigh
the imperative demand lor moro school
houses. Unless these additional school
houses are erected this summer hun
dreds of school children will bo deprived
of educational facilities. That would
be most deplorable. How Is the school
board to discriminate as between the
children that are to have schooling and
those that are to bo crowded out and
counted out ?
Quito apart from the absolute ne
cessity of moro school houses comes also
the sound economic policy of providing
employment for mechanics and laborers
during a season when building is not
very brisk.
The second proposition asks consent
and authority for the board of education
to issue sovonty-fivo thousand dollars in
bonds , the proceeds of which are to bo
used for the erection of an addition to
the High school building.
This proposition should by all moans
bo vetcd down. There is no demand
for a high school annex at this time ,
least of all an annex that contem
plates the continuance of graded classes
in the high school building. If wo are
over to build an annex it should bo
planned with a view of remodeling the
entire structure to conform to the wants
of high school and normal classes.
That , of course , would require
altogether different subdivisions from
these now proposed.
Wo can much bettor afford to offend
the cyo of ajsthotio art critics by leav
ing the high school in its present shape ,
than to squander seventy-five thousand
dollars on an annex which may have to
bo torn down or rebuilt within the next
five years. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
NO MORE DELAYS.
The proposition that the o'ounoll shall
rotund to the board of education the
amount it has advanced toward the con
struction of the city hall , is not likely
to moot with publio approval. The people -
plo have decreed that the board of edu
cation shall occupy quarters in the city
hall building. The prime object of
locating the board in the city hall
building was to save the paying of rent
and got rooms and offices near the pub
lic library , and in a lire-proof building.
If the rpoms sot apart for the
board are to bo abandoned , , the
board will expend several thousand
dollars a year for ether offices , and the
city will simply have vacant rooms on
its hantia. There will bo ample room
in the now building for all city oilicord
nnd the sohool board.
Any attempt to revise the plans is
merely dilatory and obviously designed
to cause dohiy add keep up turmoil.

Tiuo vary unueual industrial .situation
oxlats of an active market for iron and
steel in Givat Britain whllo the Ameri
can market Is exceedingly dull. Not
only are steel and iron firm in England ,
but in many branches of the trade
prices are as high as in this country ,
Tbo English stool mills are in full operation -
ation , with orders that will keep them
butty fur some time to come. On the
ether hand the mills in this country are
not running nearly up to their capacity ,
tbo tendency of prices isdowumird , and
the immediate ouflook la not regarded
as particularly favorablo. It is not easy
to explain satisfactorily this somewhat
anomalous condltufti of affairs , w'.ilch
presents nn intort'slmg ' and suggostlvo
lesson in the opoVa'flons of trade. The ;
rule has boon for"y"Axr8 " that activity in
the British iron Wa steel trade scorned
dependent upon" " favorable conditions
for the industryjn the United States.
The separate prosperity of the industry
in England has mot occurred to any
marked degree slnro this country at
tained importance ! ili the manufacture
of iron nnd stool.a The reversal of this
rule is certainly significant , and the
peculiar situation naturally invites con
sideration of the question as to how far
our fiscal system is responsible for it.
RliUIIKK FllAXK PUTTiaillSW , of
Sioux Fulls , is making determined efforts -
forts to bo chosen as the representative
ot the eastern district of South Dakota
in the United States senate. Hon. A.
J. Edgorton , a former chief justice of
the territory nnd an nblo man , was
chosen to fulfill the duties of this high
ofllco at the same tlmo that Judge
Moody , of the Black Hills , was clectod
and the Sioux Falls constitution was ratl-
fipd , hut it looks mightily ns though
Judge Edgorlon has been effectually
shelved. Potllgrow possesses hut few
of the attributes of a statesman , but is a
shrewd politician and will undoubtedly
accomplish his desired purpose. Sev
eral years ago , whllo Potligrow was in
congress as delegate from the territory ,
ho antagonized the people .of Vankton
by declaring that ho would make the
grass grow in their streets , but slnco the
announcement of his candidacy for the
senate , ho has soothed their wounded
spirits by investing several hundred
dollars in corner lots in their beautiful
town and otherwise assisting thorn in
distending the spring boom.
IF the people who exhibit such nn
impatient desire to settle upon the
great Sioux reservation were sensible ,
they would abide the time when the
land will bo authoritivoly opened for
settlement. The efforts to obtain the
consent of the Indians to the fulfillment
of the provisions of the bill , have been
greatly hampered in the past by the
actions of land sharks , locators and
kindred faltirs , in crowding upon the
reservation before they had any author
ity to do so , thereby arousing the anger
of the Indians and making them hostile
to tho'ineasuro.
Tni ! people within a radius of ono
hundred and twoniy-fivo miles of
Omaha will ttppr eio.'t.o the local train
service inaugurated1 on the mainline
and branches of'the , ' $11 ion Pacific. It
will allow the country -merchant and
buyer to visit the metropolis , transact
business and return ifomo the same day.
Such a local train ; secvico was a feature
of the Union Pacific two or throe years
ago and was proji blp to the company.
It would scorn that the time 1ms con o
for putting similar loejal trains on other
roads to the not-tii.aiia south of Omaha.
Tnn final decision of the United
States supreme c'ojjirt'in tlib Hill-Tcrry-
Shuron controversy removes from the
courts ono of the most scandalous
cases of our day. Born in iniquity ,
nursed in forgery , and championed by
the murderer of Brodorick , the case
presented all the phases of human de
pravity and greed , matrimonial cli
maxes and revolver arguments. The
contest hurried Sharon to his grave
and travo Terry a wife worthy of his
reputation.
Now that the board of trade has voted
authority to its directors to arrange
with the city council for the joint use of
the chamber of commerce until the
city hall is completed , the council ses
sions will bo moro generally attended
by the public , and the members of the
council will not be ashamed to invite
visitors from abroad to attend their ses
sions.
IT is surprising that moro people are
not crippled or killed by the cable cars.
The recklessness of passengers in jump

Sonic or tlm Business the Grand
IjodRC Proposes to Accomplish.
A prominent member of the A. O. U. W.
fraternity speaking of the grand lodge ses
sion which began yesterday at. Hastings , said :
"I am informed that radical changes are pro
posed in the present constitution and by
laws. It is proposed that an application shall
bo but ono week in the hands of an invoati-
gating committee instead of two , as hereto
fore. This is a dcslrablo change aad will
prevent sorno of the delay now experienced
iu completing the necessary examination of
fitness ot candidates. A proposed change in
lapses and reinstatements limiting an extra
examination necessary , and similar changes
for security and to aid subordinate lodges in
Work will bo recognized by members of the
order ni valuable. Some changes , however ,
nro questionable. For instance , the sending
of assessment notices through the medium
of the Western Workman , which is pub
lished at Lincoln , instead of being mailed
direct as at present , to members of subor
dinate lodges. This change would bo in di
rect violation of the constitution , which re
quires notice to be sent direct to the
member by the financier of tlio subordinate-
lodge. There is also the uncertainty of no
tices sent in the way proposed. Should the
paper fall to reach the member , and the con
sequent susponoion and non-payment bo
brought about , injustice would bo worked
thereby. It would also mean an extra ex
pense of from $2OOJ to $3,000 per annum over
the present system , and in view of the fact
that whllo the per capita tax is higher in this
than other Jurisdictions , the grand lodge has
been compelled to borrow-uionoy to pay its
expenses. At present the Workman is the
organ of Grand Recorder Waring , although
the ostensible proprietor is Mr. F. F. Rons.
Tins same proposition was made two years
ago in tlio grand lodge , and summarily sat
down upon.
"Candidates for the offices are numerous ,
especially for the two most important grand
master nnd grand recorder. For the former
are named ttio present Incumbent , Tate , Mr.
J. W. Carr of this city. Mr. White of Plaits-
mouth. Mr. Cole of MLCook. Mr. Tate Is
probably the leading candidate. Mr. Carr ,
I understand , will not urge hl candidacy ,
preferring to wnlvo his rights In favor of
Mr. Butllu for the office of grand recorder.
Mr. White , of Platlsmouth , has been a
prominent member of the state legislature
and is favorably known throughout the state.
Mr. Cole is scarcely regarded as a possibility.
"For the olllco of prraucl recorder there is
a Held as follows : II. M. Waring , the pros-
cut incumbnnt , Mr. McAllister of Grand
Island , Uutlin of this city , Housmvorth of
Lincoln , Stewart of Hastings , WaddmgUm
of Nebraska City , Simmons of Howard , Bar
ber of Edgar , Wolf of Crete , and perhaps
Bomo others. ' H. M. Waring has perhaps the
least sliow , unless it be Wolf , who is sup
posed to bo working for Mr. Waring. At
the session of the errand lodge two years ago ,
Grand Recorder Wurinc was elected upon
the pledge to devote his whole tlmo to the
duties of the office , and to resign his position
as olork of the railroad commission which
he then held. This pledge ha has failed to
keep , and retained his position , which re
quired him to give his time from 0 o'clock In
the morning to 4 o'clock In the afternoon ,
and thus preventing him from being In the
ofllco of tha grand recorder during business
hours. This position ho hold until displaced
by un action of the railroad commission n
fuwwuokaago. This will work against his
ru-olcctlon. The olhor c.inaldutoa are all
fair men. Mr. McAllister has boon grand
receiver ever since the formation of tha
grand lodge. Slnco ho has hecomo < t candi
date for grand recorder lie has scut circulars
to the lodges In the xtato in Ills own Interest.
He itatos In his circular that lie has not
ohargml ofllco rent to the grand lodge , whllo
Grand Kecorder Waring claims that ho has
received onkio rent , Mr. Uutlm of this city ,
is un energetic and capable young man , well
qualified for the duties of his office , us in also
Houtoworth of Lincoln. Simmons of Sow-
ard. has been a mouibur of the finance com *
mlttoeslnco the .organization of'the grand
lodgoand if elected will doubtless nil the
oQIco acceptably. Mr. Stowartof Haatlnga , i *

pointed to investigate. It was oapcclnlly
charged that the names of two ladies , wheat
at present are living hundreds of miles away ,
were added to the list of Mlnoharl's ad

of the comtnlttoo'a work so far has boon to

The druggists of Nebraska are now In tha
mldsl of their annual convention. President
Shryock called the convention to order m tha
senate chamber at 0 o'clock this afternoon.
The programme was carried out In detail ,
and proved to bo highly Interesting. It is
enough to say that the Initiatory meeting
was in keeping with every expectation. The
attendance was qulto largo , much larger , la
fact , than the first day's mooting of last
year , and the leaders are enthusiastic because -
cause of the flattering promises for a success-
tul culmination of the work of the conven
tion. Itoprcsontatlvo hall is very tastefully
decorated , and the exhibits ore very taste
fully arranged. Last week TIIR URB gave a
list ot the exhibitors , and it Is only necessary
to add that the exhibits of stock in
trade are all that could bo asked or expected.
Those , however , aroof.nioro Interest to the
trade than to any ono else , and yet
a largo number of visitors viewed them to
day with evident appreciation. The exhibi
tion in representative hall Is a "groat fair1'
all by Itself. A quartette of the military
band rendered a very beautiful chorus , when
Colonel Pace was introduced and delivered
an address of welcome. James Heed , of
Nebraska City , replied. The address and
reply were highly Interesting.
Prof. Nicholson , of the atato university ,
followed with a lecture on the subject of
"Chemistry. " It was thoughtful and well
arranged.

Tlio DlHti-ict Court.
Judco Field sustained , the motion for a ,
continuance in the trial of the State vs.
John Tuylor , Charles Curtis nnd Amanda
Woods , charged with murdering Robert
Woods , and the case goes over to the next
term of the district court. The practical
continuance of the criminal docket for the
term throw .matters on tbo civil docket
somewhat out of goar. The lawyers on tha
civil cases reasonably expected that the tlrao
of the court would bo taken up this week la
tbo trial of criminal causes , and therefore
they were not ready to proceed , not having
witnesses present. It may bo that .a casa
will bo called this afternoon , but the chances
are that nothing will ba done until tomorrow
row , when the court will have full swing for
the rest of the term.
