Nothing could have been farther from the intention of its frnmers than that It should bo the bulwark of any special interest , or con stitute a protection for the projects and operations of small bodies of the people believed by the great majority to bo inimical to the general welfare. It \\iis not designed to bo tlio safe guard of monopoly and corpo rate power In defying nml de feating the popular will. It provided for equal and o.xact justice to all , but the cardinal idea and purpose of the statesmen who ordained and established Iho federal constitution was the general good. Yet it has become the fashion to array constitutional objections to almost every proposition intended to subserve the general welfare and demanded by publio sentiment. Hugo monopolies are organized to control the products of the country and lix their prices com binations winch the courts declare to bo unlawful and when It Is proposed that congress shall legislate for their suppression the cry is raised that there nro.constitutional objections to such legislation. The country swarms with sneculaiors whoso operations all disin terested men admit nrc inimical to the public good , doing injury both to the great body of producers and consumers , and demoralizing the commerce and' trade of the country. Yet the proposal to make an clTo'-t to remove this evil from the commercial sys tem is met by the assertion that it can not be constitutionally done. Rail roads refuse to acknowledge the au thority of logislaUiros or of those whom the people through their representa tives designate to carry out their wishes , and the constitution is invoked to sustain the corporations in opposing the popular will. F.very suggestion that the government shall assume con trol of interests most directly related to the general welfare en counters hostility on the score of constitutional objections. Thus it is that the instrument intended to subserve the best interests of the whole people , to secure the greatest good to the greatest number , is being con stantly set up as a barrier to the attain ment of measures believed to bo neces sary to promote the general welfare and demanded by a majority of ttio people. It was recently remarked by a United States senator that the people have n reasonable degree of respect for tlic constitution , but they are not afraid or it , and ho further observed that it was made for a speeille purpose , not for the object of enabling lawyers to devise definitions or to put obstacles and barriers to the will of the people. A century of government un der the constitution , and a great war for its preservation , sulllciontly attest tlic respect of the people for that in strument , but if this is to remain unimpaired the constitution must bo given such broad and liberal construction as will carry out . its specific purpose , a part of which is to promote the general welfare , rather than the narrow and rigid interpretation which makes it toe bulwark of monopoly and corporate - porato power and every form of com bination against the public interest. If the people cannot have protection under the constitution as it is against the evil of trusts and the exactions and tyranny of corporations they will exercise their power to so change that instrument as to give them the required security. run i\niMiiw MO\'IMI\I \ : : The organi/.ation among the farmers of the country is steadily extending and its progress is everywhere bo ing ro- gardcd with the greatest interest. The Farmers' alliance is estimated to num ber two million member.- . , scattered thromrh Iweiftithree states and several territories. Having its ( stronghold in the \\est and south , its inlluenco is beginning to bo felt in the middle and Now Kngland sliites , whore the work of organi/.ation is reported to bo rapidly going forward , olmr- acteri/.ed by u spirit of ag gressiveness quite as vigorous as that in any other portion of the country. In New York ututo particularly there has recently been an unprecedented inter est manifested , the earnestness of which cannot bo better stated than by quoting a enuplo of sentences from a circular recently issued by the presi dent of the league : "Wo will no longer sit at our eno lamenting our unfortu nate condition or tro about bowuiling our helplessness.Yo will arise , wo will help ourselves , wo will bind our.solvns together ; hand-in-haml , shoulder to shoulder , wo will heroically tight euro o n battles , and wo will win. " The special and immediate object of the organisation of farmers in Xow Vorlc is to seeiiro tin equal tax law , though other subjects having direct relation to their interests will receive attention. They ar- > already making their inlluLiico felt upon the legislature. The widespread movement among the agricuUur.il producers , looking to the alleviation of their condition , is invit ing a general disi'itssloii of the question , What nro the farmers to do ? The fact is reeogfmed ilia' , tlioy .should not look solely to legislation tor relief. They will derive , in common with other pro ducers and consumers , material bcnollts from a just and equitable revision of the tnriil , the lowering of transporta tion charges , and the suppression of combinations for mnniimlnting the mar kets mid controlling the prices of products. r.ut it is urged that they s-hould look boyoud this to changes and advances in their own industrial methods for full and per manent i-ollof. The greater dlvor.slll- cationof agriculture is one of the sug gestions presented for Iho consideration of farmers , and while it is to bo ad mitted that this is a remote remedy it is not therefore one unworthy of attoir turn. This , however , is but one phase of the very sorlous and pressing prob lem wjiich the agricultural situation presents , and its discussion can not help the existing exigency. This demands broad and careful statesmanship , and tholines ii ] > on which this should proceed ura not altogether ojsc .ro or uni'ortnln. The subject ly of prominent interest to the whole pee ple. None has moro intimate relation to the general prosperity. It cannot therefore receive too frequent or gen eral discussion , or bo too aggressively agitated , and the movement of the farmers for keeping it prominent in public nltenllon Is to be warmly com mended mid encouraged. Tin : truth of the assertions of the British lories that they were indifferent to American public opinion Is refuted by the nclhity of ' .heir literary bureaus in sending gratuitous contributions to the press of this country. The moat yenlous of the-o bureaus was main tained by the landlords mid managed by ono Houston , who ncqulrcd Imper ishable notoriety as the discoverer of I'lgott. Houston's bureau appears to have fallcii into inocuous desuetude since the wreck and ruin of the forgers. His weekly contribution has bcon sadly missed from the waste-basket , but the worU of enlightening Americans goes on with ceaseless vigor. One William 1'cntland , hailing from Mullingnr , has favored Tin ; l'.ir. with several pamph lets and an autograph Jotter , in which Ho gives us the refreshing information that "there is really no national party in Ireland at the present time. " The sweet William of Mnllingar further s-njs ho admires Mr. Fitxgorald , presi dent of the national league , but sheds scalding tears of regret "that good men like him should be Used unfairly bv clover politicians on the homo circuit. " It will , startle the public as much as Mr. Fit/gcrald to learn from British sources that ho is the dupe of designing men. No less painful is the news that "there is no national party in Ireland at the present time. " ' Per haps the eighty-throo Irish representa tives are lounging around Westminster for their health or for the amusement there is in the business. Penlland's ignorance of facts familiar to cvoi'i American reader , and his endorsement of the Siberian cruelties perpetrated by Balfour , is convincing proof that the existing government of Ireland is a monument of falsehood and injustice. Tin : ladies of Cheyenne have decided toorgani/e a sewing circle and inaugur ate a series of sociables for the purpose of securing funds to buy or build a state Hag. In solemn convention recently the patriotic dames resolved "that Wy oming upon her admission us a state shall have a Hag in whoso cluster of stars Wyoming's shall shine bright , not only as indicative of our joy , bat as well as a slur of hope to our sisters through- IJUL till' UII1UII. LliU llJllllUUlUkU UilUSU of this eloquent outburst is tlio fact that the constitution recently adopted gives women the right , to vote. Al though the privilege was granted under territorial law , compara tively few women exercised the right after the novelty had worn olT. Hut the politicians and olllee-seekors , fearing a contest on the adoption of the constitution , mollified the sullrngists bv inserting a clause giving them the right to vote. The feminine politicians , however , should restrain their en- thusiubin until congress" passes the enabling act. The temper of the house and senate is not very favorable to the sullrage innovation , and it is very probable that the clause granting women the right to vote will bo ex punged before Wyoming 1 ecomcs a stiite. In that osont the "star of hopo" would vanish into space. Tiniti : ; are indications ol u great deal of dissatisfaction among the New lOnglaiul manufacturers with the now tarill bill , and it is highly probaulo that when that measure comes before the house there will bo developed among the New Knglund representatives a vigorous and uncompromising opposi tion to some of its provisions. Sonerai congressmen from Unit section are outspoken - spoken in protest against the way in which the appeals of Now Knvland into rests have been ignored , and they Icavo no doubt of how they may bo expected to tulle and vote when their opportunity arrives. The formidable- demand of the hide and leather dealers that hides should bo re tained on tlio free list was promptly ac corded by the ways and moans commit to > \ but the woolen and iron manufac turers have not boon so successful , and it is these whoso apponl for relief will bo heard on the Hour of the house. It may not be moro olTectivn thorn than before the committee , but political as well as practical considera tions will bo brought to boar there. In the depressed and distressed condition of the Now I'ngland iron industries it will bo hii/nrdnus from a parly point of \ low for the majority in congress to re- fuao them the relief which they ask as neccs.-ary to save thorn from ultimate ruin. CT.IM'AIN members of the board of od - ucalion appear agitated and ularmud over Iho exposure of their star chamber business methods. Throats and stale slander cannot alter the main fact that the letting of the school desk contract was an illegal oxorciao of power , to say Iho least. Section till , of the act gov erning motropolilnn school dialricts , says that "no expenditure grenlor th in two hundred dollars shall bo voted by the board except in accordance with the provisions of u written cantraetnor ; shall any money-bo voted except cm u recorded nnirmativo vote of a majority of all the members of the board. " A written contract necessarily implies that it shall be signed by the president ot the board , \\hich was not done. It is clear that the board has no authority to delegate the power of making contracts to a com mittee. On the contrary tlio law requires - quires that any expenditure of money ( nor two hundred dollars must receive a majority vote of the members of the board. The whole proceedings of the commitlco are not only contrary to law , but show a disregard of business meth ods which reflects no credit on the members , especially in view of the fact that the llrm receivlnir the bogus con tract has been guilty of dishonorable dealings with the board in the past. Tin : recent decisions of Secretary Noble and General Land C'ommlsaionor droll touching disputed points in cases of homo float entrioa ha\o all boon In ii plrltof'i julti. Tin commissioner of the geitural ln ul oflla hol-Js that while the strict lott-ir of tin law may have been'I fluted , that good ' fulth ij an olomeiii not to bo Ignorud in wdigli- ing the evidence to oU.ibllsh n claim. For that reason Commissioner CroiT has on several occasions reversed the ruling of local tiniVors bound to respect the letter of tljp'J.iw , whore Iho faots In the ' pnrtlcular'iuso warranted such proced ure. Secretary Noble has approved Judge OrolT's ruling In nlmost every instance. The precedents HUH cslab- llshed are Valuable in protecting entry- UHJII In their claims where it Is conclu sively shown that they intended in good faith to comply with the homestead act , but that misfortune , sickness , extreme poverty or ciccuinsluncos over which they had no control prevented them from strictly obeying the letter of the law. This is the spirit in which the homestead act should bo construe.1 in order to encourage the poor man to take up Imulsnnd remove fie hard ships from his path. Tin : recommendation of Secretary Proctor in favor of transferring the pension ollli-o to the -war depart- incut is likely to receive easeful con- Hidoration. Aside from the facl that the pension system properly belongs to the military rather than to the civil branch of Iho government , the question of economy is a strong factor in determining the issue. Secretary I'rootor is strongly of opinion that the pension bureau under the control of the war doparlmont would bo equally as clllcionl , if not moro so , than as now conducted. It would bo much more economically managed and pension business could bo disposed of , if neces sary , with moro dispatch , owing to the fact that the army can bo drawn upon without e\tra cost to increase the force of pension examiners mid clerks. While such an arrangement might seriously inlerforo with the social duties of the parlor colonels and captains at Wash ington , il would have a tendency to elevate the military service by giving the kid-gloved soldier something to do besides posing as u fashion plnlo in drawing rooms. Tin : main point to bo determined in regard to the southern boundary of the city is whether the governor's procla mation is necessary before a village as sumes the dignity of a cily of Hie second end class. There are two grades of cilies of Ihiti class , and the law govern ing each diltora malerinliy. Theaclgov- erning second class cities and \illages of ll\Ul UIJU tllUUtllIll 111 Ilillfl billl Ii3 Ul'UO IlUt provide for a proclamation , but the act govern in ir citico of Iho so con d class Imxing a poptrtalion of five Ihousand or more , requires that the population shall bo cerlined to the governor , who shall then issiio a proclamation an nouncing the fact. If the latter law governs the present conlrovorsy , the disputed land is within the boundary. If the former act applies. South Omaha's claim is well founded. The question is ono for the courts to settle , and steps should bo taken to bring it to a judicial determination. Tin : supreme court's decision simply Iransfors the regulation of railroad rates from commissions to the courts. The people wfU ob-ervo "duo process ot law * ' and wilt ul o see to it that the railroads shall not confiscate one-half the productive \\calth of the state in hauling the remainder to market. The privileges and immunities granted by the people to the corporations cannot bo safely turned into engines of op pression. OAX composers paid a great complimon.t to the people of Omaha in deciding to hold their first annual con vention in this city. It was a recogni tion of that patriotism and hospitality for which the cily is famous , and wo are confident thai our people will show Iheir npproeialion of the honor bv giv ing tlio delegates a hearty welcome. Tmlu : is no prospect thai Henry T. Clarke's name- will bo attached to tlio now fort. Hut the owner is consoled by the fact that ho receives the bulk of the spoils , the jingle of which is sweeter music to his cars than title honors. Tin : redemption of lower Farnam street depends on the enterprise and liberality of the laud owners. Talk is cheap. It takes IIIOIKH to build at tractive and commodious buildings. Won.n U bij a violation of the tenets of the state lumbermen's association in Mission in thi.s cily to insert a plank in their platform favoring a reduction in the lumber tnrltl ? Tin : times are 'sadly out of whack when our councilman nro compelled to nay their wnj to the paving oxposilion , or slay at home. Tin : Omaha board of trade having declared for th'o ' world's fair in 180:2 : , Chicago can proceed with Iho work regardless of congressional cupidity.

To the Kdi- tor of the Tin : HKI : : Jn Saturday's issue of your paper I saw an article from the pen of Governor Thayer in which he denies lliero boinu any destitution in what was formerly Cheyenne county now divided into live conn tics. Learning that Governor Thayer was going to bo at K nil ball I sent him a telegram to visit a section ot country about nine miles northwest of Potter. Ho did not visit that section of country. Theionro man.\ settlers who have not raised suflicient crops for the past three or four . \cais to keep their families They have lived on the capital they brought. 'Jhat is now spent. Thoi have invested in the country each year hop ing for better times. Last year the severe hailstorm s\\t 11 nua.v their crops and it is a wonder to iu. how some ot thorn have succeeded in getting through the- win ter. I visited in that , section of country last February and saw some of the snflermg and heard of others who wcro in need. He- turning to my work it was auegcstod that I get up a car load of supplies. The Union I'acillc railroad company Kindly consented to carry all donations free. 1 secured two- thirds of a car load of seed giain , provisions and clothing , and tf the false representations had not npp"an > d m so many of the state papers I could have sent a car load or more. I cannot conceive any reasons for these op posing the sending of aid ti needy settlers , only pure sellishness , fear of giving the country away. etc. I know moro than ono Cheyenne county paper that has withlie'd ' facts regarding events affecting the county. I fear some land speculators would rather a few families would starve to death than the real condition should be known ( wrote the governor last fall Immediately nftcr the hailstorm on August 3 , Iss9 , solic iting state aid for the hailed out Bottlers. Several families left last fall afraid to face the winter with no provisions for eitherthoir families and stock. They ought to have had sent to them seed grain , etc , and thus have been encouraced to remain My three years experience in that part of the country has placed mu in a condition to know the facts. Of course I am only n minister of the cospel of Jesus Christ , while John M. Thayer is go\ernorof the state of Nebraska , and his denial of their needing relief will be received and acted upon. Yet notwithstanding I shall act the good lamantan and seek to relieve the dis tressed. Huspcclfully. TIIOMXS II. Dm. In Defense of KPV. It. Coolcy.
