JUSTICE
Now Yorlt ngam demonstrates its in-
nblllty 10 adequately punish political
rascality. Tljo ilcoleloii ot the stnto
comptroller- Utoro Is no ihoiioy In
the treasury lo defray the expanses of
the trials practically ends the qasos
against the ; boodle nldcrmon and adds
ntiuthor to the lone : list of scandals
which have tnntlo the democratic ad
ministration of Iho Kmnlco stale n
s ton oh in. the nostrils of the country.
Never sfnqo the ialmy days of Tweed
was there sucli n riot of corruption and
extravagance as in'nrkcd the entrance
of Jnho Shnru * into the politi
cal whirlpool of Now York
in 1884. Ho bought the city
olllcinls like so many cattle and secured
a franchise for n street railway on
Broadway over the vote of the mayor
and the united opposition of press and
the people on the street affected. Other
corporations olTorcd the elty princely
oyaltios for the franchise , but Sharp
) reforrcd to shower his favors on the
ildcrmon and their backers. It was the
cheapest and easiest way to defeat oppo-
ition , anil ho succeeded. Such flagrant
lisrcgard of honor mid dccanoy and mu-
lieipal rights rousud popular Indigna-
ion , nnd Sharp was driven to the pcnl-
ontiary and ilnully to the gravo. Of
ho twonty-fivo men participating in
ho rascally conspiracy , three have
gone to the higher courts , ono is in
ail , two are , out on bail and the ro-
naindor arc in exile in Canada and
el&owherc.
From beginning to end every effort
va8 made to shio'ld the culprits Delays
olio wed delays. Sympathy harassed
usticc. The courts and prosecuting at-
rOrnoys ignored public demands for
> rompt trials , and frittered away the
esourcos of the state in farcical at-
rOinpts to redeem the honor of the city.
Mends of the corruptionUt3 made
, heir case their own and succeeded in
'orcing the question quietly Into poli
tics , and olccting to olllco men pledged
to leniency. The election of Colonel
Follows as prosecuting attorney was
a substantial victory for the
joodlcrs , and the result shows
, hat they were not mistaken in their
man. No honest nttompt was made by
him to remove the obstacles in the path
of justice. On the contrary , ho in
creased them by permitting witnesses
; o escape and delaying trial under vari
ous pretexts until the public became
disgusted and indilToront.
The decision of the state comptroller
in refusing to turn over the money
voted by the state legislature to defray
the expenses of prosecution , is the last
act in the conspiracy to give the
boodlors their freedom. As a specimen
of politico-legal jugglery , it is worthy ,
of a place in democratic campaign liter
ature. The intent of the law could not
bo misconstrued , but that vigilant of-
licial discovered that the act limited
the use of the money to the prosecution
of ' 'persons holding otllco under the
laws of the state within such county. "
None of the boodlcrs were in ollico ,
therefore none of the money could bo
used in the prosecution of men for
crimes committed previous to the
passage of .the law.
The outcomeof the scandal is a disgrace -
grace to the city and state. It encour
ages public rascality and places a pre
mium on olllcial dishonesty.
UXDEU NO O11L1UATIOXS.
General Manager Kimball is quoted
by a local contemporary as declaring1
that it is a mistaken opinion that the
Union Pacillc is under any obligations
to build a union depot in Omaha.
Mr. Kimball certainly cannot have
boon correctly reported. Nobody knows
bettor than ho that the Union Pacific
railway company has never curried Into
otToct the contract made witU this city
with regard to transfer facilities.
It ip a matter of record that the city
of Omaha issued two hundred thousand
dollars in bonds nearly twenty years
ago for the purchase of the present
Union Pacific depot grounds. These
grounds were donated to the road , to
gether with two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars in bonds issued by
Douglas county , conditioned on
the maintenance of proper trans
fer facilities to carry on the term
inal business of the Union Pacific at
Omaha. The managers of the road
pledged themselves and their company
to build a grand union depot at Omaha
that would accommodate all connecting
roads.
Since these bonds were issued the
interest alone aggregates throo-quar-
torsof a million , or a total of twelve
hundred thousand dollars , principal and
interest , levied on Omaha tax-payora to
secure transfer facilities which the
Union Pacific up to this date has failed
to provide.
In the face of such an exhibit Mr.
Kimball will hardly dare assort that
the road is under no obligations
to build n depot for Omaha ,
Incidentally wo may as well
remark , that adding insult to injury ,
the Union Pacific not only has failed to
give us the depot wo have long since
paid for , but actually expended the
proceeds of the quarter million of bonds
voted by this county in the erection of
n union depot on the other side of the
river , to boom Sidney Dillon's rnnl cs-
tuto speculations no.ir Spoon Inko.
It is very distigroe.ible to recall this
chapter of "ancient history , " but it is
very pertinent at this time.
Tnu oration of lion. Edward J.
Phelps , o.v-minlstor to England , before
the Phi Hota Kappa association , of Har
vard college , touching on the necessity
of a distinctive American policy in in
ternational affairs , will create consid
erable interest both in America and in
Europe. It is quite qvldcnt that Mr.
Phelps loans strongly toward Mr.
niaino'd fdoas of a definite nnd positive
policy in dealing with foreign nations
and with naval power sullloiont to back
it up. Whatever faith Mr. Phelps puts
in the olllcacy of arbitration as a meant
of settling international dUUcuUics , he
evidently behoves that arbitration h
effective only in the settlement of com
paratively unimportant disputes.
Where the lion ana the lamb come to
gether to discuss qucstionr. of principle
or honor or whore the blood has been
stirred and passions arouaod , the onlj
arbitration.tho lion is likely to listen U
ia when tlio lamb submits to his will
or falls a prey to his superior
strength , As a last rusort , Mr.
Pliolps does not'beUovo Hint arbitration
for the present , nl Unat , is pVhctiqablo.
Mr. Pliolps. , by his experience ns minister -
tor to England and hs a clos.6 observer
of continental politics , is certainly in a
position to speak authoritatively on the
subject. Ills pica , therefore , for n fixed
American policy is likely to strengthen
the faith of our statesmen In the course
which thuy have already outlined in
that direction.
OK KVRHY hand there are evidences
of industrial activity throughout the
ritato. Progress and push are the watch
words. Scores of energetic towns are
ivilvortising their resources and offering
tempting inducementstooutsiUb capital.
Factories of various kinds are under
wa.V. others are at work reducing the
products of the farm to a marketable
standard. There is no boom in the
building line , but a steady substantial
growth In both city and country. The
activity of now railroad companies has
had a noticeable effect on the older
companies , and they nro preparing to
branch out in solf-dofonsc. The Bur
lington extension from Alliance to the
Black Hills will bo pushed forward this
season. The Pacific Short line Is mov
ing westward at n steady gait , and the
Missouri River , North Platte & Denver
jjivos evidence of lifo by placing sur
veyors in the field. In the south and
southwest there is very little railroad
building , but several companies are
ready to move forward if the usual
financial inducements arooffered. The
outlook for a prosperous year is a cheer
ful one , and if the present favorable
condition continued , 188i ) will rank with
the host in the history of the state.
To HAVK bind the Omaha and Coun
cil Bluffs Bridge company for thousands
of dollars for fancied injury to property
while in fact the bridge has immensely
bonolitted it would have boon a gro.-w in
justice to the company. The damage
suita which wore pending in thodibtrict
court have excited no little public in
terest , as their outcome has had con
siderable inlluenco in shaping the
future course of great public improve
ments in this city. The verdict of the
jury in the Hoajjland-Bridgo ease in
volved therefore an issue that was vital
to the future growth of the city. The
jury found that no damages were sus
tained by the plaintiff by reason of the
erection of the bridge. Had the ver
dict boon otherwise it would nave dis
couraged enterprises on a great scale
in our city , and would liayo sot a bad
precedent for the future development
of Omaha.
A COMBINATION is reported to have
been made in Ohio for the purpose of
lighting the Standard Oil company.
There is nothing new in this. Ever
since the great monopoly was organized
and entered upon its career of crushing
out competition , there have periodically
boon established companies with re
ported millions of capital-to light the
Standard. The uniform result has been ,
however , < thut after a brief struggle the
warring companies have fallen into
the capacious maw of. the monopoly ,
as in most cases they we're designed to
dd , and it will be simply following prec
edent if the new combination shall in a
short time pursue the usual course.
With one or two hundred millions of
capital and alrrost unlimited resources ,
the Standard Oil company is in a posi
tion to wngo a war against competitors
decidedly unprofitable to them.
H were two conspicuous political
events in the career o ( tho. Into Simon
Cameron which marked him aa a leader
ot extraordinary power. One was the
influence ho exerted in favor of the
nomination of Lincoln in 18iO ( , and the
other the defeat of Blaine in the na
tional convention of 1S70. In all prob
ability had Cameron favored Seward in
the former year that statesman would
have been nominated , and it is equally
likely that liad ho not opposed
Blaine in 1S7G the "Plumed Knight , "
who then received that title , would
have carried the convention. In the
former case some unauthorized friends
of Mr. Lincoln were reported to have
made a deal with Cameron , but the only
evidence of it is the fact that Lincoln
made him secretary of war. His fight
against Blaine in 1S70 , however , was
openly miulo , and it was in consequence
of it that llaycs became the candidate.

constitutional convention. The time in
near at hand when the strength of the
various senatorial candidates will bo
accurately known. Pottigrow , Campbell -

prominent aspirants. It looks mightily
at ! though Pottlgrow will bo succobsful ,
hut as to which of the other throe will
bo chosen is doubtful. Moody would bo
stronger if ho had not provoked the sus
picion of the farmers by his connection
with the Homcstnko Mining1 company ;
Kdgorton has boon vacillating- while
Campbell ia overbearing , and it is diffi
cult to estimate which of the throe

PAKTIKB who madu such a howl over
the delay in the holcctlon of a postolllco
site and sought to rouse a riot over the
postolllco location will now dlbcovor
that their hue and cry was n delusion

Washington confirm what every intel
ligent man must hnva foreseen , that at
the very best wo may only have u base

It will take wcnka to clear the title and

months at least to prepare plans for the

That the republic of Mexico has a future

The mniornl election that l to take place

There can bo no doubt that , in the minds of
many Frenchmen * the existing constitution
Is unsullcd to Franco. T.io ! chamber of dnp-
titles 1ms mndo Itself supreme without ac
quiring the necessary sense of responsibility ,
ana has reduced the stale lo a very Inferior
position. What Franco needs , they argue ,
is a stronger executive , who , with his cabi
net , might bo IVA Independent of the national
legislature as the president of the United
States Is inddpciulenl of congress. Uy re-
hlrlriing tlio power of n parliamentary ma

would have not only n strong and durable
but a free government. Such a programme
seems simple enough , nnd rational enough ,
although there is the danger thutn president

arbitrary way. At any rnto the result ot the

Though by no moans friendly In most re-
spcets , the German and Russian govern

Ike czar regard * Switzerland as the iiesfc in
which are hutched all the conspiracies against

Switzerland shall deliver up all political fu-

borders. Out of complacency to the czar the
German government Is almost as brutal

The spirited reply of Switzerland entitles
her to the continued respect and sympathy
of all liberal governments , The congress of
the republic declares that , while Switzerland ,
will faithfully lullll all her international ob

shall exercise any authority over residents

would make her soil a center of criminal in
trigues against the heads of friendly govern
ments. In short , political exiles umv con
tinue to have the same protection that Switz
erland has always accorded to them so long
ns they shall refrain from the commission of
acts which the laws of the republic con
demn.
It is a dark picture that Emperor Francis
Joseph draws of the condition of affairs in
continental Europe. Austria , ho says , is at
peace and hopes for peace : is in full ngrce-
meut with her alliesr and her relations are
unchanged nnd .vat unsafe ; ormamonts nro
everywhere increasing , and Austria can not
ufford to fall behind. He pledges the oxcr-
c'iso of all his power for tlio maintenance of
peace , and yet feels compelled to ask for
more money to continue preparations for
war. The emperor's words throw no new
light on the situation. Ho depicts a state of
affairs that has long been fully recognized ,
nnd which is inexpressibly tnxgic and sad.
From these conditions there is no escape ex
cept through war on the ono hand or aa
agreement for disarmament on the other.
How a peaceful solution can bo secured is not
apparent , and yet it is obvious that this bur
den of armament , as costly as war , can not
long be borne by oppressed and impoverished
people , 'i'ho ' only alternative is n decisive
conllict , and although this has long seemed
inevitable , an outbreak Is now no more immi
nent than a year ueo , and the incrcabo of
armaments scorns to bo actually intended to
discourage attack rather than to ureparo for
aggression. The emperor's statement that
the situation Is still unsafe will remain Iruo
until arms have been laid aside and the bur
den of war taxation removed ; but how or
when this is to bo accomplished no man
knows.
