AKOTimn coMMissms
It has token the United States nannto
a very long time to find out that the
railroad tariffs in the far west nro ex
orbitant nnd need to bo thoroughly
overhauled There t not a man who
holds down a scat In the senate today
who has not for years boon famlllnr
with that fact , unless possibly it
bo ft man who never nllows
his mind to bo troubled with such
trifling matters Tlio subject
has boon agitated before congress for
more than ton years ; resolutions In
favor of railway legislation and the
curbing of the greed of monopolies have
been embodied In ovoryparty platform ,
state and national ; legislatures have
wrestled with the rallroud problem nnd
conventions have boon torn up by It
At Inst wo are nssurod that Senator
Paddocks resolution has aroused the
United Stales senate to a pitch of
excitement that may cultninato in
another commission nnd the usual
junket By the titno Nobrnska farmers
have got through burnlngcom and their
spring plowing is . doao , or just about
when the railroads have moved the surplus
'
plus and confiscated half o.t . t the crop to
carry the ether half to market , the
Bcnnto commission will put in an ap
pearance , and take testimony enough to
fill four or flvo largo volumes which
nobody in or out of congress
is expected to read And about the
tune the corn crop of 1890 is ready for
market the commission will begin
to prepare a report of its sago conclu
sions for the next Bcssion of congress
And then the matter will bo referred to
tbo committee on commerce , which will
have moro on its hands than it can pos
sibly finish during the romalnlng ton
weeks of the Fifty-first congress
Meantime the iudigentand distressed
farmers wilt bo struggling bravely with
tbo s 'hcrllT and tlio mortgagee to keep
their heads above water
RELIEF VOn KAXSAS
The distress that prevails among west
ern farmers is by no moans confined to
this state The farmers of Kansas tire
also groaning under the burdens of tax
ation and struggling with the mortgagee
to keep their homes out of the hands of
the sheriff A crisis is impending and
appeals for relief at 'o made to Governor
Humphrey Tlio followiug ' potitlon is
receiving thousands of signatures
among Kansas farmers :
Whcroas , tlio sliriiiktiK'i ) in values upon
both real and personal property In the stnto
of Kunsas in the past two years has caused
very great financial embarrassment among
tlio farmers of our state and m many In
stances the farmers liavu become unublo by
reason of those shrin'tagcs to prevent pro
ceedings In foreclosure , which are incrons
Inij to an nlarrainpextent Wo , the under
signed electors r- county , Kansas ,
therefore respectfully petition your excellency -
loncy to call a special session of the legisla
ture of Kaunas.for the purpose of providing
for the relief of our farmers tiy the pussuga of
a law giving the mortgagor of a homestead at
least two years In which to occupy , enjoy
una redeem If possible , after sale of mortgaged -
gagod promises , and to provide ulso Tm a'
stny of execution on all judgments on prom
issory notes nnd mortgage bonds for a rea
sonable time without bond ,
Other petitions demand that the call
for a special session of the Kausas leg
islature shall embrace also provisions
for the amendment of cxistitig railroad
laws and the establishment ot maximum
railroad tariffs , while still other peti
tions douiaud the resubmission of the
prohibitory amendment to the Kansas
constitution
All things considered , the farmers of
Kansas are evidently in a much worse
condition than those of Nebraska
TifB STJir RULES
The new code of rules for the house of
representatives will make some radical
and important chances from the past
method of procedure in that body It
has boon framed with the principle dis
tinctly In view that the majority shall
rule , and every provision has been
. made nccossary to the fullest assertion
of this principle under all circum
stances Under this code a single mem
ber may demand , in the case of a call
for the yeas and nays , that members
prcsont and not voting shall bo so
recorded by tlio clerk of the
house , thus preventing 11 minority from
breaking a quorum and obstructing leg
islation In order to preclude fili
bustering , as fur as possible , without
eonttavonlng established parliamentary
practice , only corttun specified motions
will be allowed , and when one of these
lias boon ouco decided it cannot again
bo ofTorod on the same day The
speaker is authorized to refuse to
entertain dilatory motions , and there
is no restriction upon his dis
cretion aa to such motions There
are ether radical changes , all
of which are intended to at once
simplify and expedite business , and
which there is every reason to expect
will produce a great improvement in
the prbecduro of the house
It is uot.apparont that under this now
cede the minority witlsulTor any injus
tice , or bo deprived of any right which ,
in the gouoral public intorcst it should
retain . When the people shall come to
cousidor calmly and without partisaa
prejudice the uattirc of the long-prevail
ing practice which permitted endless ob
structions to legislation and tolerated
tlio fiction that members could occupy
their souts , inako motions , ougago in
debnto and yet bo regarded as not pres
ent to do business when their names
wore called , thoru can ho no doubt that
the gouoral judgment will approve the
change { i'lio fact that a rule or prac
tice has been long in vogue and ac
cepted by both parties does not neces
sarily establish Its merit , and it is un
questionable that while heretofore both
parties have adhered to the methods
now passing away both have at
tlmos acknowledged that a.change was
desirable , dopendiug upon which was in
tlio majority The old rules and prac
tices prevailed so long not because they
wore essentially wise , Just and necessary
*
sary , but rather ( or the reason that mon
hesitate to depart from long-established
usage , ( iv.en when a uotter way is
clearly pointed out
The intelligent popular idea of congress -
gross is that it should boa business body ,
and not a mere assembly of poli
ticians couvonlng annually to quar
rel and squabble for partisan advant
age Vet tlio latter has been its char
acter , for the most part , for a number
of years If this can bo changed , by
allowing the majority to assuino the re
sponsibility for loglsUtlon which belongs
longs to it , it la not to bo doubted that
the result will bo very materially to the
advantage ot the country There can
bo no doubt that the proposed reform ,
when fairly trlod , will commend ltsolf
to general approval
,1 WORTHLESS VOXOESStdX
Tlio Nebraska railroad commissioners
have secured from the managers of
the NebrasKa roads an ngreomont to
make a ton per cent reduction on the
corn rates , fixing the maximum at
twonty-llvo cents and the minimum nt
twenty cents This is a very small con
cession , and will afford practlcallyno
rollof to tlio farmers Under this ar-
raugomuut there will bo no change in
the present rate from the Missouri
river , none where the rate
does not now exceed twenty
flvo cents , ' and the reduction
at those points where the vale is above
twcnty-llvo coins will give no appre
ciable benefit to the producers Wo are
willing to credit the commissioners
with doing the best they could , but ob
viously thu concession they have secured
cured falls far short ot whnt is neces
sary to relieve the situation and enable
the fanners of Nebraska to roallzo any
profit on their corn It is notoven half
a loaf which the railroads have ac-
oorded the producers , but merely a
crumb , and that much too small to give
any comfort ,
This will not do The people of Ne
braska will not bo satisllod with any
such worthless concession , and the rail
road managers : presume tno much upon
their patience and toleration if they
suppose that the agitation for just and
reasonable rates will bo silenced by this
trilling recognition of their urgent demand -
mand for relief They have a right to
expect fair , if not generous treatment ,
and they will contiuuo to ask and in
sist that this be given them There is
nothing for the farmers of Nebraska in
the illiberal proposal of the railroad
managers , and while it is possible they
may not now bo able to secure any
thing bettor , their demand for just con
sideration will not bo abandoned , nor
will they forgot how they have bocti
treated in their oinorgoncy by the rail
roads The agitation for lower rates
should be niajutained with incroascd
earnestness and vigor
REFORM WITH A VEXOEANGE
The combine which controlled the
organization of the council started out
with a grand flourish of trumpets in
favor of economy , tax reduction nnd re
form
form.When
When put to the test the combine has
opposed and defeated the effort to re
duce taxation Every proposition to re
duce the levy below the maximum was
choked down by main force This
means , of course , that our taxpayers
will have to feed the gang of barnacles
' that lias been foisted upon the city for
political unds for at least another year
The most flagrant and outrageous
feature of the proceedings was
the passage of the appropria
tion ordinance under the 1 gag
rule Every councilman is
held responsible under the charter for
each vote that he gives on an appropri
ation The law clearly contemplates
that upon the passage or an appropria
tion ordinunco each item shall bo road
by the clerk before the vote is ordered
An appropriation ordinance passed by
merely reading the title is manifestly
void , but in defiant disregard of the
law this was done under whip nnd spur
and tlio mayor gave his assent to this
unlawful proceeding and signed the or
dinance
The question forces itself upon tax
paying citizens whether they are to
submit tamely to lawlessness and reck
lessness or seek redress in the courts
WHERE ls TUE SHRIXKAUET
lu the revision of our nssossmont rolls
three-quarters of a million has dropped
out of the aggregate valuation as coin
pared with the valuation of the preced
ing year In view of the fact that oyer
flvo millions have been expended for
now buildings in the year 18SD , nnd at
least two millions for public improve
ments , including the now street railway
lines , enlarged waterworks , gas works ,
etc , this shrinkage is , to say tlio least ,
inexplicable How is it possible for ull
these additions to improved property
vnluos to have been oltsot by
tbo skrinlcago of unimproved prop
erty , which always has been
assessed very low The only rational
deduction must be that tracts of land
"
swallowed up by railroad and ether cor-
corporatlons have been put on the free
list or appraised for a more bagatelle
while otlior extensive concerns are as
sessed at ridiculously low figures
There is practically no taxation of
money loaned by capitalists on mort
gaged securities , and nearly the whole
burden falls upon individual owners of
roul estate While Omaha has lavishly
voted rights-of-way to railroads and
franchises to corporations , without
price , these concerns nro virtually ex
empted from taxation
Tick active competition tor the perfumery -
fumory department of the city govern
ment is not so much for the honors of
the job as for the ru von lie in sight
Some idea of the profits may bo formed
from the fuot that in Now York an
Italian gentleman paid tlio city seventy
olght hundred dollars a year for the
exclusive privilege of examining the
garbage piles and keeping whatever
article of value was found , • In two
years ho secured a fortune sufficient to
rank him with tlio fourhundred
Tin : elomouts of destruction appear
to have taken permanent quurters on
tbo Pacific coast The boasted climate
of that section , In the light 6f. .oxporl-
once , is a delusion and asnaro During
the nast three months destructive floods
and snow hlockudos , of unusual depth and
sovorlty , have been the burden of Call-1
fornia news During the past period
the rainfall reached the unprecedented
record of twonty-olght inches The
center of precipitation is now shifted to
southern Oregon , where warm rains and
melting snow have already de
stroyed or dnnmgod millions of dollars
worth of property There is probably
no falt-cr or richer snot in the United
States than the district devastated by

TitK logl'slaWo of North Dakota pro
poses to apply the axe to the root of the
olovalor combine Ono ot the bills fa
vorably considered regulates the dis
tribution of cars and faeilltlos for
handling 011 the system in vogue in
Europe and in sovornl states in this
country , notably Michigan Every
railroad In the state is required to reg
ister applications for cars and furnish
thorn in the order ot application
Ample trackage and convenient approaches
preaches for loading and unloading
must bo provided at every station ,
and no cliargo can bo made for
grain held in storage for fif
teen days The bill Is swooping
in its provisions nnd aims to
break up olovalor monopoly by com
pelling tlio railroads to provide facili
ties for storing grain , just as ordinary
merchandise isstorod in freight houses
The late of tlio measure cannot be fore
seen Although the legislattiro is
strongly antl-moiiopoly , the full power
ot the elevator rings and the railroads
will bo exerted to prevent the passage
ot the bill and prolong the exactions
and discriminations practiced on tlio
producer It is a demand for justlco
which must evontiuilly prevail
TitK cost of lighting the city under
the present reform government is esti
mated at' forty-five thousand dollars , a
substantial advaaco over last year A
largo portion of the increase was in
herited from Mayor Cushilie's ' wise
and vigilant predecessor , who with the
assistance of the Dodlin combine ,
foisted electric lighting on the city nt
extravagant rales The rate charged
in Omaha , one hundred and sovonty-IIvo
dollars per lamp per year , is greater than
the average charge in thu UnitedStatos
With the exception of Denver and
Memphis , tho.avoragc cost is less than
ono huiidred' and fifty dollars per lamp
St Joseph pays ovcnty-two dollars per
year ; St Lrluis , soventy-five ; Kansas

In 1881 when the Sloctim law went

A QUESTION Ol * ItlOHT
Irof Kasort Ho rendu Germany Prom
illu Asiisrulons ofHniMiiies
To the Kditor of Tin : Hue ; It Is u curious
fact , that ns a rule , every telegraphic reporter
or other correspondence coming from
Kurope , in so fuc-as It refers to Germany
and Franco , cotrtalua some slur , or a charge
ono Kind or unothar , on or against the loaders
ot government ; < in Germany The remark
nblo thing is that .tlio acknowledged nnd well
linown tacts absolutely contradict the
charges , und that shows tlio case is never
proven TLo panics ought to bo non-suited ,
but instead of th'ulj they alone get a heuriug
with the Amorl&n 'Vibllc , while the defend
tints , the Gormatr'govurnnient , atu treated
witli contumele 'ir ' open Insult
This conditlonupYlhing * Is not creditable tote
to the AmoridaTf' newspaper A foreign
liowcr , eventhdndh it bo monarchical , should
have at least tD s ' atno right that wo grant
the greatest majfaxtor amougourselves Wo
deem do man guilty , in our courts , until
proof is furnisuiHlUy uMelont evidence
It may bo answered , Germany Is far off
and does not intor'ot us Hut why then tills
( instant reference to Germany in our papers ,
by lunreports , often tailing up ctittro col
umns , und this in every considerable pacer ,
from Maine to Uahforpia
Only recently Joharin Most , tlio noted an
archist , was condemned to a years impris
onment by an Amorical court , on account of
bis seditious languagu in newspapers nnd
elsewhere The same Johatin Most was In
carcerated In Germany for a similar offence
But while no ono complains of lack of free
dora in this country ( except anarchists ) ovcry
ono cried shame ! when thn uews came , nt
the time ' , that liutnaick had sent the liberal
Jotiann Most to prison
Uuglund und America both sent Most tote
to prison but uo 0110 raises the charge that
these countries are not free
Now , as regards Germany , It may bo true
that her press laws nro moro strlugunl than
noccssury , and that the special laws azalnst
socialists , pasted reluctantly , but yet legally
ntnl without coercion , b/ the Gorman psrll * '
mont , nftor the second sttotnnt on tlio life of
the ngod otnporor , nro impolitic nnd even
foolish granting anything nnv socialist or
anarchist may clmrpn ngnlnst the wisdom or
lack of wisdom of the Gorman parliament , it
Is yet a tact that these laws wcro passed by
that parliament , nnd ttint this parliament is
elected by secret ballot , on the basis of nnl-
vorsat manhood suffrage It docs not follow
that such a body may not make mistakes ,
but mistakes nro made In America also
Another point is this F.vor since tbo
franco-Gorman war it has oceu the policy of
French writers to rcurosont Prussia
m a power plotting war against
Franco The facts nro that Franco
commenced the war without any Just provo
cation whatcvor The facts only provo that
In all the wars botwocn Germany and Franco ,
Franco has iuvnr'nbly ' been the aggressor

Hat of all the gratuitous misrepresenta

llko Sir Chariot , Dllko , of Kngland , General
Hrialmont of Helgium , and aver so ninny
Frenchmen , vlfcl Thnt Germany would
violate Helgium neutrality for the purpose
of attaching Franco The facts nro almost
entirely on the otlior side , for hi almost all
her wars , ( about thirty or moro ) Franco hus
almost Invnrlnbly commenced war by In-

Now , when It is considered that the rela

ISil ) It was ctoarly proven to the satisfaction
of llolgtum nnd England both , that It wan
Prussia under Hismnrck that saved Holgium
from French annexation , it is really amusing
to sco the cliargo turned louml ,
though not a single fact supports it
And it is so with the pretended intontton of

In order to please Russia
Had faith Is a quality the Germans detest
It wns the opinion of itonr.v Sttinlay , as good
a judge of men ns can bo found , that the ro-
markubla thing about Hismarck was that he
made his way by perfect honesty ; that ho
scorned the potty wuvaof lntrigtio and nl-
wtiys was faithful to his obligations There
Is not a sluglo fact to provo that Hismnrck
over acted in bad fnlth And yet our news
papers have wasted tons of printers ink to

1 urn not desirous of making out a case for
Hismnrck ; I only wish to emphasize thnt nil
these tolcgruptnu and ether reports contain

the most part the product At ignorance , mis
conception and a foolish dopondeitcy on
French opinions , and thn party spirit of Gor

Germany has a constitution , nnd thnt consti-
