AT IAST the inaslor plumbers and journeymen plumbers are coining1 to their senses. Tnn voice is yet to bo hunril ngninst the coming annexation of South Omnha to Omaha. RKCKNT storms huvo been cutting nl- tofjother too wide ti swuth in Nebraska and Iowa grain fields. Tins Pot-noil commission with Par- Jioll withdrawn is like the play of Hnin- lot with Ilatnlut lelt out. TUB Omaha city jail und the Chicago river resemble oncli other in one re spect. They have smells in common. IT is eminently proper that Omaha should extend horauthority in behalf of law and order over the two-mile limit. As caustic letter writers to dorollct postmasters , the country will vote the civil service commissioners to bo a great success. does not believe in com pulsory education. The proposition to introduce such a law in the constitution vras adversely reported upon. DKNYUU has just inaugurated her mining exchange , and now the specula tion in real estate will bo transferred to gambling in mining futures. Tun plans of Gardener Cleveland are consulted too much and the comfort of the people of Omaha too little by the parlf commissioners with reference to Jofterson squtire. THHKH of the examining surgeons in the pension bureau at Washington wore dismissed by instructions from Secre tary Noble. It looks as If the ro-rating of pensions had gone a little too far. THE consolidated street railway com pany should inaugurate its promised transfer system on all its linos. That was one of the inducements which load the people of this city to acquiesce in the deal. THIS proposed deal for the purchase of the Minneapolis llour mills by the English syndicate is now understood to bo off , and ton millions -of foreign capital will bo looking elsewhere for investment. WlT.T , tlio council take the hint to provide the board of public works and the street commissioner with an emer gency fund to bo used at their dlbcro- tion in the repair of streets damaged by sudden rains ind Hoods. GOYHHNOII Cool-wit , of Colorado , has taken a hand In the alleged legislative steal and has Instructed the attorney- go no nil of the state to proceed at enceinte into a thorough Investigation of the gross Irregularities. Now let the fur fly. - - - - a- -a- Title recommendations of the commis sioner of public buildings , that an olllce building bo erected for the use of the president on the white house grounds , will in all probability bo favorably rvotod upon. The ohlof magistrate of thiu nation should not bo obliged to inalce Ills private dwelling hln work- shoo. JUDGE COOMSV , of the tnter-stato commerce commission , in addressing the constitutional convention at Bit > - rniirek , North Dakota , told the dolo- pates Borne homely truths concerning the work of constitution building. IIo gave thorn the advice not to legislate too much in the constitution no as to prevent legislatures in the future from mooting the evils that they may bo called upon to correct. In the very nature of things something must bo left lor them to take care of and to put proper restraints upon , Somebody has got to bo trusted in the future , nnd the attempt to cover every exigency that may possibly uriso when * times change and men change nnd now conditions arise is simply Impossible and imprac ticable. Judge Cooley does not believe in tying the hands of the people by Iron clad lawu , but feels assured that the conoratio'ns of the future will bo able to tnoot the dinicultlos of legislation fully as well If not oottor thuu their ances tor * . TJ/77 The opinion anponw to bo general that the fortxmtlon ot a vast railway trust la being eorioualy considered by railroad managers. The plan is not now , it having been first suggested about two years ngo. Hut it did not at that time rcccivo the attention which evidently is now being given to It. It Is said that within a short time a con ference will bo hold with a view lo getting expressions from railroad man- ngors' regarding the expediency and feasibility of combining the railroad interests nnd of discussing the proposal lo create a trust. Railroad men who bavo talked on the subject show that the great dittl- cultlos In the way are fully appreci ated , not the least of which is the pop ular hosulity lo trusts. But the advo cates of this movement profess to bo- llcvo that if the facts are fully and fairly presented regarding the railroads the opposition will bo removed. Ono of the great objections to existing trusts is the socrosy of tholr management , and the unfair way in which their man- agora treat outsiders. The advocates of the railway trust propose that It shall not bo conducted in this way , and that there shall ho no effort to deceive the publlo as to what Is proposed to bo done. While oper ated under the name of a trust the de sign would bo not to permit in its man agement any of the methods of the trusts as understood to-day. It vould bo extremely difHcult if not impossible , however fair the promises and appearances , to convince the people ple that a railway trust would not pur sue a policy In the name similar to that which all like combinations pursue. There is of course a national authority to look in to the conduct and practices of the railroads , and this would exorcise n regulative and restraining power , but it is hardly probable It would bo so complete and thorough as to wholly prevent the consummation and carryIng - Ing out of schemes in the Interest ot the railroads ami not in that of the public. It is qullo possible that a rail way trust would bo the ono assurance of permanent harmony among the com peting lines , but the method of secur ing that harmony would not bo toler ated. The proposition to put such tre mendous powers in thu hands of a few individuals is too hazardous over to re ceive public approval. Moreover , such a scheme is clearly repugnant to the spirit of our institution. To allow such a vast combination of cap ital as would bo repre sented in a railroad trust to bo manipu lated by a few men , would bo n standing and dangerous menace to the country. It could , and probably would , exorcise a tremendous inlluenco in politics and upon legislation , and no well-informed man needs to bo told that this would not bo exercised in the interests of the people. It is doubtless true that this project is in harmony with a tendency almost univerbal in the business world , and it is quite possible that more or loss progress will bo made in this direction until some radical change hns taken place in the relations of the railroads to each other and to the pub lic. But the men who arc considering the proposition for combining the rail roads oflho country in a colossal trust may as well conclude at once that tbo public would not tolerate a scheme so hazardous to its interests and involving such tremendous powers of abuse , If the wisdom of railroad managers can not find a better way than this to over come existing difllculties and bring about the harmony which IH so obviously necessary to profitable railroading , then the attain ment of these conditions must bo regarded as hopoloss. A railroad trust with a billion of capital behind it will never bo tolerated in this country while the people have the power to pre vent it , and a serious effort to organize such a trust will incline many more than are at present to favor complete government control of the railroads OH the safcbt and most certain means of securing their proper management and subserving the public interests. A. MISl'AKCN TJ3NDEXOY. The tendency ol tlio constitutional conventions in the now states to insert. in the organic law matters which would Co bolter loft to legislation is attracting unfavorable criticism. In all the con ventions numerous propositions have boon submitted and favorably received , which it would bo safer and wiser to omit from the constitutions , leaving tlio people 1 roe to act upon such questions as future circumstances ahall suggest or require. In all conventions of this kind there are men who fancy that they have mastered tlio science of government , nnd with profound de votion to' their theories they seek to fasten them upon the people in a form most dllllcult to change by put ting thorn In the organic law. Ordi nary legislation , if found by experience to bo unwise and injurious , is easily got rid of , but objectionable matte , in a constitution can not bo roiuovod so readily. Ilonco the greatest care and wisdom are required to bo exercised in framing an organic law , nnd in no re spect is this moro necessary than in de termining what shall bo koi > t out of such law. As wo have heretofore said , a state constitution should bo framed on broad lines , stating , as far as may bo , only general principles , dollnlng rights ns clearly und ermoisolv as possible , and providing for the carrying out of such principles and tlio preservation of sucli rights by appropriate legislation. This is the plan upon which the national constitution and the constitutions of the older states worn framed , and its wisdom and sulllcioncy have boon most amply vindicated. Only in very ex ceptional cases should a constitution attempt to logUlato. The reason for avoiding details and spocllio provisions is obvious.A legislative provl- sion crystalled in a constitu tion remains there , ana nothing but a constitutional amendment can change it , no mutter how unsuited it may prove to bo to the needs of the pooplo. Dut If only the general prin- ulplo Is declared , a legislature may puss laws In accordance with thut principle , and If a mistake is mndo n subsequent legislature may rectify It. The tendency of the constitution- makers in the now states to abandon the province of merely formulating general political principles and lo talco up that of statute making should bo dis couraged , otherwise the now constitu tions will bo loaded with matter that ought not to'bo in them. The mombora of these conventions certainly have enough of the experience nnd example - ample of the elder states to draw upon to enable them to wisely accomplish tlio work they have In hand. iv AX uxritA SESSION. It appears that the financial circles of the country are beginning to tatio an interest in the question of an extra ses sion of congress. The continued experts - ports of gold to Europe , the need for currency to move the crops , the aotlvo gambling in trust certificate ! , and tlio decrease of bank reserves duo to the ex pansion of credits , Is producing a con dition of affairs in the money market which creates a demand likely soon to become more vigorous for the release of a portion of the nearly ono hundred millions of surplus in the treasury. There Is no apprehension of a financial crisis , or of any serious monetary disturbance , hut an uncom fortable stringency that would bo dam aging to the business ot the country Is a possibility unless something1 Is done to avert It. As yet the secretary of the treasury has not Indicated any intention to change his policy in the matter of bond purchases , and very little of the surplus is going out of the treasury for this purpose. It is very probable that ho will not olTor any bettor induce ments to bondholders than ho has already given unless the exigen cies of the money market shall justify him in doing so. Neither is it likely that ho will 'increase the deposits of government money with the banks , in any ovout. The "republican party is clearly committed against the policy of allowing the banks to handle "largo amounts of the public monoyand hence tlio administration can not consistently adopt this policy. An extra session of congress called for October would of course do nothing to help the money market in the meantime , but the fact that at least a month's tinio would bn gained , with thot reasonable assurance of early legislation for reducing the revenue of the government , and per haps also the existing surplus , would fond to improve conliucnco , and this is only less important than augmenting the supply of money. If the financial and business interests of ttio country conclude that they have anything to gain from congress convening a month earlier than usual undoubtedly the president would not hesitate to call an extra session. THE UNION DEPOT. Three months ago public sentiment in this city was almost a unit in favor of voting ono hundred and fifty thou sand , or oven two hundred thousand dollars in bonds for a union depot that would accommodate the passenger trains of the roads that converge on both sides of the Missouri river at this point. Whether this depot was to bo built by the Union Pacific or by a union depot company , was immaterial , pro viding , always , the prime object of the union depot was carried out. When the managers of the Union Pa cific announced that their road , in con junction with the Burlington , would build such a depot , conditioned upon the city voting bonds equivalent to the cost of constructing the Tenth street viaduct , the project was looked upon with favor. To-day the concensus of opinion i.i Omaha is very pronounced against the scheme. The revulsion in public senti ment is duo to the lack of faith in the intention of the Union Pacific railroad company to give Omaha anything moro than a local station house. Dr. Miller is perhaps the only promi nent , citizen of Omaha who believes that the union depot plans will fully moot the wants of all the roads that may center on both sides of the river. Competent builders pronounce the union depot plans a patch-quilt affair , with barely accommodations enough to meet the demands of the roads thut have their termini in Omaha now. It does not stand to reason that Omaha would pay a dollar towards the construction of such a depot , oven if the proposition for bonds was not coupled with a proviso that the city quit-claim the Union Pacifio for all its rights to dispute the title of the present Union Pacific depot grounds which were donated to that company on condi tions with which it has never complied. Dr. Miller declares that the road has done nit that It obligated itself to do for Omulm. But the attorneys of the Union Pacific evidently differ with the doc tor. Hliio they _ would not ask the city to make good the title to the Union Pa cific depot lots. At the risk of being called to task for referring to ancient history , wo recall the fact thut every dollar of bonds voted to the road heretofore , nml every lot do nated to It , was on the fnlth of the people in the pledges and obligations entered into by the company to establish Its union depot at Omaha for the transfer of ull business going to und coming from all railroads that terminate at the Missouri rivor. Omaha would bo willing to add to these donations that to-day may be com puted as aggregating a million and a half , principal and interest , providing that the road would only carry out what it agreed to years ago. Anything less than that will bo repudiated as a delu sion and a snare. LET rifEM COMPETE I"AIRLY. It Is manifestly desirable that this city should hnvo cheaper nnd bettor street illumination. As between gas lights and olectrlo lights the luttor should have the preference , other things being equal. But in making the change from gas to electricity the coun cil should act in accordance with busl- ncbs principles by inviting competition for n specific service. This , as wo understand it , has not boon done in giving pref erence to the Thompson - Hous ton bid over that of competitors. The bid of thu Thompsou-Houston com pany Is twenty-two dollars a year for each lamp df ,6\xtoon-candlo \ illuminat ing power. $ ? hq bid of the gns company which propose to establish an olcctrio lighting ser Hitj for Omaha , la twenty- six dollars n'ytnr for each lamp having n , thlrty-cantll6 Illuminating power. As between thc/fauvo / bids it would bo dif ficult to dooido which is cheapest. A thlrty-cattdlo lamp at twenty-six dollars doubljfpps gives moro light for the money than a slxteon-candlo lamp nt twonty-tw 'dollars , 'But the quos- question is , t\ojwo need a thlrty-candlo lamp ? ct It seems to us that the manifest duty of the council is to secure square com petition on a uniform basis1 otherwise , the bidding would bo n moro sham. If sixteen candle lamps are ample than competition should bo invited on that basis. If it shouuld bo deemed desir able to have Bomo sixteen cnndlo nnd some thirty candle lamps , than the number of each should bo specified nnd competition invited accordingly. Any other method practically has no cle ment of competitionin it. AT the last session of the Now York legislature radical changes vroro made in the prison laws of thut state which nro attracting widespread attention. The now act creates an entire change in the classification of convicts. They are to bo divided into throe classes , ac cording to the degree to which they are tractable. The least vicious are to bo associated together and piven labor that will fit them for an honest trade when they shall have boon released from prison. The second grade of con victs , where the hope of reformation is leas promising , is to bo employed in the coarser labor of the prison for the pro duction of useful and valuable objects. As for the incorriglblos , who consti tute the third class , they nro to bo employed solely with reference to the preservation of health , or In the making of such articles as shall bo needed In the prisons and publlo insti tutions ot Now York or such manual labor as the supcrintondoulmny direct , provided it docs not conflict with free labor. While machinery is to bo per mitted , the contractsystom is prohibited and in other ways the free laborvof tlio state Is protected. These now regula tions modify the former harsh rules which prohibited any labor whatsoever in the penitentiaries of Now York that come in competition with free labor. They commend themselves for their intelligent and1 "humane treatment of prisoners when the purpose of fitting them for useful citizenship is not loat of. sight _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ IN all probability a clause will bo in serted in the l orth Dakota constitution regulating thoidisposal of the immense grant of schoolJands in the stato. It provides that Jiouo pf this land shall bo sold for loss than ; ten dollars an acre , that not moro" 'than ' one-fourth of the lands shall bo sold within live years , and that one-fourth shall never bo sold , but leased. With s'uoh ' precautions there is little danger that the largo grunt of public sohoollaiids will bo squandered or that this heritage will bo robbed in the interest of "speculators. IT is unreasonable to heap unneces sary burdens upon the street railway companies extending their lines through the city. Their proposition to pay for pavement torn up in laying tracks on the ton-year instalment plan the same as is accorded to property holders is fair and equitable and should be allowed by the council. THE owners and minors of the Stroator mines of Illinois have at last decided to leave tholr differences to a board of arbitration. An early settle ment of the long drnwa strike is looked for which shall be satisfactory to both sides. As llils Summer Was. Chicago Trttninc.

We oncfc were factions , fierce , and wild , And now we're civil , Uind and rjood , To peaceful arts unreconciled ; And keep the laws as people should. Our blankets smeared witli grease and stains We wear our linen , lawn and lace , From buffalo meat and Dealers' veins , As well as folks with paler face.
