In an Interview with the Lincoln cor
respondent of Tiir Bii : , regarding the
efforts of the board of transportation to
secure a reduction of . tbo corn rates ,
Mhich resulted In the ton percent con
cession by the rnllronds , Mr John
Stcon said : "Wo nro in just as good
position todny , even bettor , to demand
a furtliQr reduction " This may bo the
case , but the general feeling doubtless
is tljat the failure of the board to
obtain a moro favorable concession
has Bomowhnt ombarrnssed the situa
tion so far as the producers nro con
cerned , to whom the proposed reduc
tion will ho practically worthless
While not necessarily oporatlng as an
estoppel to a demand for a furthorTo-
duction , its effect corlnlnly is not to
cncotirngo a rcnowal of the domnnd
G rati ting thnt the board did the best
it could in this matter , did its duty end
thoroV The people of Nebraska are
urgently in need of rollcf , and there Is
no promise that they will got it from a
loductlonof through rates on their pro
ducts The hoard of transportation has
the authority to regulate local rates
Is it not practicable : to do something in
this way to give rollof to the poopio of
the stntoV AVe have no doubt it is , and
wo venture to think that If the board
would tnko such action it might liavo a
very snlutnry effect upon the railroad
manugors with respect to through
ehnrges At nny rate it could notre -
sult In making these moro unfavorable
• linn they are , and a dlroct and decided
bonoflt would accrue to the people
If the board of transportation
will honestly ondcavor to do something
within the Bcopo of its authority it is
not questionable that it can help the
people of Nebraska quite materially in
the present oxigonoy , and perhaps
strengthen itself in public confidence
The matter ought to commend itself to
the serious attention of the board ,
which lins never had offered it a moro
favorable opportunity to bo of service
to the people
tiivy aim it up
The ucmocrnts of the house of repre
sentatives ha\o wisely decided not to
continue the contest in which for several - .
oral weeks they have boon unlforinljt
defeated Their leader , Mr Carlisle ,
nftor the reading of the journal yester
day , said that innsmuch as the house
had adopted rules which allowed the
counting of members present who ro-
fubed to vote , ho saw no icason why the
journal hhould not bo approved , and
theruupon the democrats for the first
time voted to approve the journnl It
was a complete capitulation , though
mndoithout prejudice to the demo
cratic position of hostility to the princi
ple of the now rules
Mr Cnrllslo said the democrats still
protested against the practice of count
ing members present and not voting ,
but the question could not bo decided in
the house and would bo aopoaled to nn-
othcr forum This , wo take it , moans
the poopio Representatives to the
Fifty-second coiiirrcss will bo elected
next November , nnrl undoubtedly the
course of the republicans in the pres
ent house will he made to figure
prominently in the democratic cam
paigns The icpublicans will be prepared -
pared for this The course thut hus re
sulted in a chungo of the rules of the
house , intended to facilitate and expedite -
dito the transaction of business , ahd to
secure the rightful rule of the majority ,
was not taken without careful and thor
ough deliberation , and the ropubllcans
will not decline the issue before the
people The reasons they have ulroady
ghen for it commend themselves to
the intelligent and unprejudiced
public judgment The justification
must bo mndo hereafter , in the record
of the business of the house If the
majority mnkos good its assurance to
prevent unnecessary delays in legisla
tion and to carry forward the work of
the session as rapidly us the proper and
adequate consideration of measures will
permit , the now policy will bo amply
vindicated and its approval by tlio pee
pie bo assured The republicans in
congress tmvo the matter lit their own
hands , and they will bo judged by the
result
Mounwhllc the moro sensible attitude
of the democrats onsouragos the hope
that the future of the Hessiou will show
a radical improvement in the character
of the deliberations of the house , which
thus far have not noon ontlrcly credita
ble to the intelligence and dignity of
that body

The efforts which the democrats of
Iowa are said to bo making to influence
the Farmers alliances against Senator
Allison are not likely to prove very
dangerous That game was played very
vigorously before Mr Allison rocolvod
a unanimous ronomlnntiou to succeed
himself , and its complete failure ought
to have con vlncod these hostile to the
senator , democrats and ropubllcans
alike , of the utter futility of any attempt -
tempt to array any considerable
portion of the republican farmers of
Iowa against Senator Allison The
mon who are now scheming to do this
uudorostlmato the intolllgonco , the
parly loyalty and the stuto pride of the
famurs The producers ot Iowa are
familiar with the record of Mr Allison
and know that tholr coiiftdonca in hltn is
not misplaced , and these of tboin who are
sincere republicans understand thnt not
only the party in the state but in the
country , would stiller a great loss bv the
rotlromont of Senator Allison from pub
lic life They approolnto the fact , also ,
that the distinguished position of
tholr senior senator as a states
man , rccogpl/.od throughout the
country us worthy ot the highest office
in thq gift of the poopio , rollucts honor
upon the 6tate , giving it a prominunco
in national affairs nnd before the coun
try which it very likely would not
otherwise enjoy , mid which every citi
zen who has it pride in his state should
dusiro maintained All those consid
erations the republlcnu farmers of Iowa
hue not failed to duly weigh , nnd thov
will not now be tuniod from the con
viction thnt tholr own lntorosts and
those of the state do in and the ro-eleo-
tion ot Senator Allison , while hlsclahns
ns a distinguished party leader , eml-
nont in the national councils , justify
such an endorsement
( But there is another and no less
cogeut reason why this scheming
y. . . . . . . I. I . . M .
against Senator Allison must provo
futllo Bvory republican in the logls-
laturo is on record in favor of his re
election , and it la not to bo presumed
that there Is any one ot thorn who could
now bq induced tj stultify hlmsoH by
an act of recantation Tlio two or
three who were charged with
bolng hostile to Mr Allison before
fore the cnucus were found
in line when the time for
action came , thus dashing 1ho hope of
the opposition that n broach would bo
mndo in the republican ran its The result -
sult bound the ropubllcans of the logls-
laluro , by every consideration of honor ,
to remain faithful to * Sonntor Allison ,
and every attempt to iuduco thorn to
rcpudiato that obligation implies nn
asporslon upon their integrity nnd good
faith , which wo venture to think no in
telligent republican fnrmor will allow
himself to malco Tlicro Is no
tcason , therefore , to apprehend
nny great d&sw-a't • KTiva2 the demo
cratic scheming with > * the farmers -
ors alliances The conditA > ns nro all
against the possibility of making such
nmovomont seriously oflbctlvo The .
republican party of Iowa desires the ro-
oloctlon of Senator Allison and Us rep
resentatives In the loglslnturo will re
spect the desire They are solemnly
pledged to do this , and every man of
thorn will remain talthtul to his re
corded obligation

The Corners wore crowded , unusually
crowded , ana the curbstone was lined with
teams of nil description , The Tones tragedy
was the chief topic of conversation , though
the ludicrous efforts of Edward Rosewater
to create some disturbance nnd delay in the
now costoOlce mnttor came In for a shnro of
attention Ileal cstato and business mon
who condescended to discuss the dying ef
forts of the sago of Eighteenth and Farnam
were earnest In tholr denunciation of any
attempts to retard Omaha's spring growth
and development O. 21. H.
Our aminblo and patriotic friend is
evidently getting very nervous Ho
suspects that his cherished scheme to
unload fifty thousand dollars worth of
property upon TJnclo Snm for seventy
seven thousand dollars is liable to ho
upset Now , really , if Undo Sara does
back out of the bargain which
was made between certain wny-up dem
ocrats and certain wny-up republicans ,
before Grovoi * wont out of ofllco ,
who would be to blame ? Surely not
the advocntos of Eighteenth and Far
nntu or Sixteenth nnd Hnrnoy Who
has cnusod the eight months delay
lay in perfecting the transfer of prop
erty ? Bid nnybody opposed to the
Hitchcock corners show the slightest
disposition to undo the compact which
had boon ratified under the false pretense -
tense that it was designed to expedite
the construction of the postofflce ? Was
it not manifest from the outset
thnt Hitchcock nnd his associates had
ottered the government property which
they did not own , had no right to offer ,
and the title to which could only bo
secured by the slow nnd tedious process
of the courts
But wo wore told that these obstacles
were a moro trifle Wo wore assured
that even if the nppraisomont oxeoodod
the four hundred thousand dollars ap
propriated for the si to the mon who
were bucking this selection had executed -
cutod a bond for fifty thousand dollars
to raako the title good Now who has
caused all the delay ? Why dent the
parties who are going to reap the benefits -
fits put an end to all litigation
by paying the price detnandou by
Byron Reed and the FolsomsV Is it not
the essence of gall for their disinter
ested champion to talk about Rosewater
trying to create disturbance and delay ?
Tin : Bub violates no confidence when
It declares that there Is a deep
seated , pont-UD feeling of indig
nation among all clossos of our
citizens at the course that has boon
pursued by the proraotors of" the
Dodge street site and especially by Mr
Hitchcock in connection with the pub
lic building At the outset the advo
cates of ether locations who had as
much right to their opinions as they
had were shamefully abused , and these
who were in the least prominent were
lampooned They were stigmatized as
enemies of Omaha and furiously as
sailed as selfish , moan nnd mercenary
obstructers of the growth of this city A
delay of two or throe weeks , to give
the department exact information ns to
the relative merits and claims to different -
feront sites was magnified and . -opro-
scnted as causing a loss of millions to
this city in the way of palatial blocks
thut were sure to ho erected in the im
mediate vicinity of the Planters house
The location was sotttod in Mny , and
still the owners of the slto are wtang
ling According to Judge Wool worth ,
who lu excellent authority oa title liti
gation , they will bo no nearer settling
the dispute pending in the courts twelve
months honee
We only express the prevailing uni
versal sentiment when wo say that
Omaha is now ready to assert her rights
Congress has appropriated four l\un-
hrod thousand dollars for the purchase
of a public building site moro than a
year ago Further delay is intolerable

the legislature to submit the question ,
and fully thut nnnibor are on rosord as
