Tin : revolt of the Baltimore Sun
against the power of Boss Corman in
the politics of Maryland is of national
significance. The Gorman * and the

the doiiiojratlo nvichlno and dictated
local , stale and congressional nominees.
Oppositions to their plain within the
parly insured political death as swift
and otTiH'tlvo asac/ur's dooroos against
his enemies. Like all political bosses
they ignored all demands for reform in
state all'ali'H , and made the government
an aggregation of subservient tools. The
uprising of Independent democrats last
fall mude a serious broach In the fortifi
cations of the GornmnitcB , The defeat
of Congressman Compton was the fruit
of that revolt. Treasurer A roller's de
falcation , showing criminal recklessness
in the management of state alTaliv , will
go far toward uprooting Gorman and
restoring the government to the people.
This fooling id voiced by the Him in its
demand for tlfu rotlromont of the ring
politicians. Behind the movement , however -
over , there is evidence of a hand de
termined to crush the democratic sulk-
er.s of IbSS. And tlio hand bears a close
iVbomblaneo to that of G rover Cleveland.

Contrary to expectation , the reference
of the mitl-triK bill to the judiciary
committee of the senate did not prove
to bo the burial of that measure. The
committee whs requested to report
within twenty days , but stimulated ,
probably , by the charge that it was "tho
mausoleum of senatorial lltor.Uttro , " It
appears to have addressed its attention
immediately to this subject , with the
result of having prepared u bill within
about one-fourth of the time in which it
was asked to do HO. The now measure
reported , it Is to bo presumed , is free
from the constitutional objections that
were urged against the bill that was
sent to tlio committee , though it will bo
most surprising if the friends of monopoly
ely in the senate do not lind some tlaws
In the now moa-iuro upon which they can
ground opposition to it. But tlio judi
ciary committee was almost evenly
divided regarding the constitution
ality of the Shernnin bill , and
as the new measure has the
unanimous approval of the com
mittee , whfch is supposed to
include the leading constitutional law
yers of the senate , it will very likely bo
accepted by a majority of the senate as
a sound and safe measure.
The new bill applies only to contracts
or combinations in restraint of trade or
confmorco among tlio several states or
with foreign nations , which are declared
to be illegal , and penalties provided for
the punishment of every person con
victed of being engaged in them. Jt
asserts the authority of congress only
with respect to trade combinations
in whatever form whoso operations
alTect interstate or foreign commerce ,
leaving with the states the duty of deal
ing with"conibinations of their own citi-
/.ens or of corporations imdt r their con
trol , the operations of which are wholly
within tlio state and affect wholly or
chielly the local trade of the state.
There is no invasion of the rights
of the states , as it was claimed
would bo the case under the Sher
man bill , but simply an assertion
of tlio power of congress to deal
with trusts , combinations , and conspi-
i acics in restraint of trade on the same
principle that it regulates railroads en
gaged in interstate commerce. There
can be no doubt that this is entirely de
fensible under the clause of the consti
tution giving congress sole authority to
regulate commerce among the several
states and with foreign countries.
It is very probable this measure will
pass the senate , and there ougjit to bo
no question of its passing the house , fn
the event of its becoming a law it will
bo necessary to supiHement it by state
legislation in order to make the barrier
against monopolistic combinations com
plete , and this undoubtedly will be very
generally done. The demand of the pro
ducers of the country for anti-trust legis
lation appears in a fair way to be com
plied with. _

The supervising architect of public
buildings expresses the opinion that
work on Hie new postollice building will
necessarily be delayed for several
months and may not begin under a year.
That means that not a stone will be laid
on the foundation before the spring
of 1891.
"Who is rc.sponsiblo for this damaging
dehfy ? Who engineered the job by
which , out of the seventeen bites offered ,
the only bite that had to be acquired by
the tedious processor condemnation , was
accepted ? It will bo remembered that
the secretary of the treasury asked for
bids from the owners of land suitably
situated for a public building. It was
manifestly the duty of the department
to reject all proposals that wore not out
and out olYors to sell and convoy the
property. Otherwise , why ask for bids ?
If it uas proposed to exercise the
right of eminent domain the Planters'
house square was by no means the only
ground available.
But , as wo have always charged , the
whole proceeding was a piece of jugglery
and jobbery. The only pretense by
which the promoters of this" job sought
to justify the irregular course pursued by
the department was the desire to expedite
the construction and avoid delay.
How docs it look now ? Who has
clogged the progress and growth of
Omaha ? Who is causing all llio damag
ing delay ? Docs anybody dare contend
that the building would not now have
been under way had honest and regular
business methods been pursued in the
purchase of our public building site , in
stead of underhand scheming and reck
less and high handed disregard of the
interests of the government and the
people ? As a matter of fact
this is the most scandalous transaction
that has been perpetrated under the
present administration in this section of
the country. Not only has there boon
uncalled-for delay in the acqulsition1f
the site , but the government is paj ing
sixty thousand dollars more for a square
twenty by two hundred and eighty-four
feet narrower than anolhor site more
available and of greater value in the
realty market could have been bought
for outright. If over this deal is Inves
tigated by congress it will rellect more
seriously upon the integrity and business
methods of the treasury department
than anything that has yet been bi ought
to public attention.
TllK WUSTWX OJKI'JIfSWIKS. .
The advocates of steamship subsidies
have succeeded in obtaining from a ma
jority of the house committee on mer
chant marine approval of a bill provid
ing for a tonnage subsidy , and this meas
ure will doubtless bo considered in the
house within a short time. A minority
report on the bill has just been pre
sented , in which strong ground is taken
against the granting of subsidies.
This report holds that if subsidies
are to bo granted upon the assumption
that the business of navigating shiis
does not pay without government aid ,
the farmer has an equal right to demand
that the government pay him a subsidy ,
or bounty , upon the products of his farm
in order that his business may bo more
profitable. The policy pursued by other
countries relative to subsidies is fully re
viewed , and the conclusion drawn that
where the merchant marine is moil
prosperous subsidies do not obtain
in the sense claimed by the ad
vocates of the plan in the United
States , whllo whurq it has been
tried the experiment has not been suc
cessful.
The subsidy advocates ask that a
bounty of at lonst'thlrty cents a regis
tered ton be paid for every thousand
miles of voyngo , and it Is proposed that
this bounty shall bo given to every
American built ship , whether of wood
or iron , steam or sail , fast or slow , wither
or without malls or freights. Tlio post
master general in his annual report sug
gested generous compensation to Ameri
can built steamships for carrying
the malls , but this was too conslderativo
for the subsidy hunters. They could
not nee in it sulllcleiit Inducement for
building ships. At the minimum rate
of bounty they propose , a steamship of
three thousand tons register plying be
tween Now York and Liverpool would
receive fifty-four hundred dollars for the
round trip , or fifty-four thousand dollars
for ten trips a year. Tills would bo the
annual interest on nine hundred thous
and dollars at six per cent , a very liberal
inducement , certainly , to ship building
that would doubtless stimulate great
activity in that branch of industry. It
would bo merely necessary to build the
ship , send it alloat and draw the bounty.
Such an investment could hardly fall to
attract capital in abundance , and In a
few years wo should have a merchant
marine that would obviate all danger of
the country being troubled about what
to do with a surplus ro venue. The dilll-
culty would rather be to draw from the
people enough to meet the bounty de
mands.
There is very little probability of the
success of the subsidy policy in the pres
ent congress. The men who are propos
ing it would seem to bo ignorant of pub
lic sentiment , but there is'a sufllcient
number in congress of.thoso who are not
cither ignorant or indifferent to that
sentiment to in iko safe the prediction
that there will bo no subsidy lagislation.
No western representative will vote for
ship bounties while the industry and
business of his constituents are depressed
and they are asking relief from the burden -
don of taxation. Tlioro has never been
n less propitious time than Uio prcsont
to advocate sub > idios of any sort , and the
party in control of congress could make
no greater mistake than to show any
favor to the proposed policy for reviving
the merchant marine.
Tins attitude of members of the Chicago
cage board of trade , regarding the pro-
posud legNl'ition by congress for sup
pressing sp iculation in fool ; products , is
hardly consistent with the professed
virtue of the board in its light on the
bucket shops. Those grain a'.i-l pro
vision gambling institutions were pur
sued by the board on the ground that
the speculation carried on through them
was demoralizing tothe tr.ido of the
country , and public sentiment approved
this view , but when it is seri
ously proposed in congress to put
an end , if possible , to all speculation ,
the members of the board take alarm
and send represent itives to Washington
to oppose the proposed measure , on the
ground that there is some speculation ,
presumably that which is practiced on
tlio board , that is a good thing for tr.i'lo
and for the producer , Perhaps thin is
tenable , but there is a quite general im
pression that the real anxiety of the
Chicago bo ml of trade to do away
with the bucket shops was
duo to the fact that thoio gam
bling places interfered a good deal with
its own speculative practices , and the so
licitude of the members to defeat the
propo-ed legislation by congress will be
very likely to confirm this view. To the
ordinary apprehension the wealthy
board of trade speculator is more dan
gerous than the little operator who can
command only a few dollars , and the
very general popular opinion is that all
is le.s evil.
speculation more or - > s an
1 opposition to the admis
sion \Vyoming illustrates the party
habit of persistent blundering. De
nouncing the territory as a "rotten re
publican borough" is aft false as it is un
just. A democrat represented the terri
tory in congress for a number of years
and the present logidlation is about
equally divided between the two parties.
As a matter of fact neither party can
claim a decisive majority of the voteiv ,
but democratic opposition to admission
will po far toward making the new state
solidly republican.
Axn wo si ill insist that Omaha brick-
makers stand in their own light when
they ask more than six dollars a thousand
for common bride. There is no doubt
whatever that the era of frame houses
will pass a way just as soon as brick can
bo procured at reasonable rates. It is
in the power of the hricKnmkcra to in
crease the demand materially if they
take a broad gauge view of this matter.
Tin : beauties of prohibition are aptly

One of the most remarkable features In
connection with the resignation of Prince
IJIsmurck is the universal expression of re
gret which his disappearance from political
life has called foith In the Paris newspapers.
It Is strange that the very man who planned ,
prepared nial can led out u war which led to
the greatest military disaster ever exper
ienced by France , mid who subsequently laid
a heavy hand ninm her treasury , her com
merce , her industry , and even her territory ,
.should have ended by winning the honest ad
miration of her people and their sincere
regard as the principal guardian of
the pj.ieo of Europe. The public
avowal of such sentiments as tlieso do
honor not only to the great statesman who is
made the object thereof , but also to the gener
ous ami magnanimous nation which has piven
such noble nnil forgiving utterances thereto.
The Paris k'JVmps , which alludes to the ex-
chancellor as the "greatest giant of- modern
limes , " declares that his disappearance
"leaves a void in Europe that is full of uncer
tainty and trouble , thatv too , at a time when
the need of his Inrgc mind and sagacious
power could least be dlspenswl with by Eu
rope. " All the other leading French papers
pay similar tribute to the wisdcm of the in-
Iluenco which he 1ms exercised on Lthe/xmti-
nont , and point out that no amount of youth
ful energy and ability on the part oC ISmpeior
AVilli'ni ; can supply the pluco of the mature
nnil rare experience of the pilot whom he has
just dropped.
The Berlin labor conleienco has its chief
significance in the ifact that it marks the be
ginning of an epoch in the history of the
working masses of Europe. Other assem
blages of n like character will doubtless fol
low , until some ofr the most embarrassing
problems relating to the social condition of
Europe shall have been solved. Not , hov-
ever , until the European worklngmoa shall
hold their own international conference , with
power to enforce its decrees , will the rights
of labor bo fully ostabltshuJ. The Jhst step
in the programme of such a congress would
bo a demand for a general disbandmcnt
of the vast standing armies which
consume in idleness the earnings
of the toiling- ' millions of Eu
rope : European \vjrkingmeu have no am
bitious or antipathies to gratify through the
maintenance of tlie.su armies. To thorn the
"lulunco of power" is a mere fiction. It
matters little to the workingmcn of Europe
whether Alsice-Lorniino shall belong to the
Gernrin cnip'uo or to the Fiencli republic.
Their material or nnral interests would not
bo affected whether the Balkan peninsula
should 1 e upiJiopriiited by Kussin or Austria.
Hilt it is of the utmost moment to the work
ing masses of Europe to dissolve the vast
military establishments which their labor
support , and to restore to productive pur
suits the millions of sturdy .soldiers
loitering the year round in camps and
garrisons. This , more than any
other scheme of international legislation
which statesmen sm\ \ political economists
conlil devise , would give lellol * to the ove.-
worked women and children in the industrial
centers of Continental Europe. When the
soldiero shall huvo ( jono to work it will no
longer bo necessary for women to toll from
dawn till dark in the fields , as in Hungary
and Belgium , and to perform the hardest
manual labor of men as in Vienna and other
Emopcan capitals. With his labor rescript
tlio Emperor William , of Germany , has taken
hold of the business by the wrong end. Lot
him begin anew by insisting upon general dis
armament ; and with this many of tlio worst
evils that nllliet labor would bo mitigated or
icmoved. But 1.0 lung as the continent of
Europe shall consist of a vast military camp ,
any permanent or substantial amelioration of
the social condition of European worklagmen
will bo extremely dillleult of accomplishment ,
it' not quite impossible.

K.illroidi In rorcliflmvouot yet assumed
either a present or an I iiino llutely prospec
tive nmgnllu lo great enough to make of vast
Jlnanclul consequence the reported privileges
granted for llvo years to Hussian capitalists
for their construction. The e.xpjiience of the
contractors for thu first short railroad in thut
country , built nut many years ago , must liuvo
been a queer one , since to suit the shah , as
was reported , the work was Itegun at the
wrong end , or the ono farthest away from
the plaeo to which the principal materials
hud to lu brought. .Sli.oo then the IIH.W o-
tlve has bc-Omo , , nuro familiar
object ; but P > ri a can uurdly
yet bo the most promising flold
imaginable for railroad enterprise. The po
litical significance of the present concession'
Is not noteworthy as showing the contlnuci
satisfaction of Persia with Hussian means am
Influences. The shah is between two fires , 01
at least 11 mis England and Kusstu rivals h
pulling at him for privileged on the ono 1mm
and the other. It must be confessed that tills
IHMltlun does not appear tfo disturb his j > or
soaal oajoymcnt of life ; Indeed , his pollcj
seems to bo the simple ono of playing ono off
against the other. On the southern coast
particularly on the Persian Gulf , England re
cclves the commeiclnl concessions ; on the
northern frontier , particularly on the Caspian
Sea , Uitssla makes her gains. And she prob
nbly looks forward to uniting her steam lines
with those of Persia and controlling both.

Heedless of the ominous signs of llio times
In Kusdla , the c/iir continues to give utmost
dally proofs of his increasing Intolerance ami
despotism. The most recent net of tyranny
which ho has perpetrated Is the Issno of an
Imperial ukase disqualifying Jews from rentIng -
Ing or cultivating land , from mortgaging It ,
or from having any dealings whatsoever in
real estate. When It is taken Into account
that the majority of the 0,000,000 Jews who
life In Hussla have In ono way or another In
vested thvlr capital In land , the effect which
the now law will produce upon their economic
condition can bo more readily Imagined than
described. Fervent prnjers are bolng of

Immigration.
Alliillill Dull ! I'ic- >
At a recent joint meeting , in Washington ,
of tlio house and senate committees on im
migration mid mituiali/ation , Mr. Edward
Hoscwatcr , editor of Tin : OMUIV Bii : : , repie-
senting a numlvr of Germ in and other so
cieties in the west , addressed the committees
nt much length in favor of immigration , setting
ting forth its benelleial effects upon the de
velopment and industries of the country.
Finally ho proceeded to nrguo against the
termination of immigration of desirable per
sons , especially Scandinavians , when bo was
Interrupted by Chairman Chandler , who
stated that it was not the purpose ol any
member of the committee , so far as ho Icnew ,
to propose or favor tlio p issugo of any bill
that would prevent the immigration of any
clusiof persons likely to prove desirable citi
zens. Ho asked Mr. Kosowaterlo .state if ho
was opposed to the regulation of immigration
so as to exclude undesirable immigrants , or
to any change in the immigration laws.
Mr. Uoscwalcr said ho believed that the
present laws were sufficient to Keep out unde
sirable classes. All that was needed was u
more rigid administration of the laws , a
closer inspection in ino poris 01 ciury.
class that has sought to bo excluded by the
bills before the committee was already ex
cluded by existing laws.
Mr. Kosewutor struck the keynote of the
entiio question when making this declaration.
The policy of the government at its founda
tion should bo continued for all time. Good ,
honest , industrious and frugal people , of
oilier countries , should bo welcome hero al
ways , for good and sulUeient reasons , and
none bat such would ever obtain access if
existing laws weio duly administered.

TII13 SUPUUIOH KUKGTIOX.
Summon , Neb. , April S. To the Editor of
Tin : BKK : Today's edition of Tut : Bin : con
tains n special regarding the city election
which reflects upon the actions taken by the
present city council during the past year ,
stating that It has In many ways endeavored
to retard the city's piowth. In IS S C. 12.
Adams was elected mayor of the city , nnd
daring the year the connellmen plunged the
city so heavily in debt that taxes were very
neaily doubled , and contracted a number of
debts which they failed to liquidate during
their term of ofllce. In the spring election of
1SVJ the voters of the city defeated Adams as
a candidate for a second term as niaxor , and
the entire ticket which ho headed. The conn-
cilmi-n chosen to represent the city concluded
that some of the claims contracted by their
pivdecessois were unjust mid Illegal , and re
pudiated them , but proceeded to pay.tho ones
they thought just and legal. At yesterday's
election Mr. Adams for the third
time headed the ticket for mayor , nnd
was elected by a majority of six votes , while
tlio rest of the ticket , with the exception of
the councilman of the Third ward , was de
feated. As it is the council for the coming
year will be composed of live members who
were elected by the party opposing Mr.
Adams , and the one councilman elected > cs-
tcriluy on the ticket bonded by Adams. Great
confidence is placed in this council as being
ever ready to work to the advantage of the
city , legally and justly , but being equally
ready to protect her citl/ens from unjust and
illegal exactions. C. W.
TO XOHK 1'AUTV .DICTATION.
Ovut.vM ) , Hurt County , Neb. , April 1. To
the Editor of Tin : Bm : : Now that there is
some prospect of getting better men into
olllco through the efforts of the alliance , there
seems to be a disposition on the part of a few
leading democrats to draw patty lines closer ,
probably with the hope or expectation of
getting themselves into olllee. As a demo
crat I do not propose to bo governed by such
advice. If tlio ulllnnco runs Senator Van
Wyck for governor I shall not only vote for
him myself , but advise all nly democratic
friends tosuppoit him. It is a lami'iitublo
fact that Van \Yyek is the only representa
tive In congress from Nebraska who ever
made n determined and manly light against
tin * greed and CMietions of monopolists , mil-
roads and trusts. He is not onlv able and
qualified to till any position to which he may
be elected , but is disposed to b J independent
and also thoroughly in .sympathy with the
moyeim nt on the part of our fanners to get
their wiongs righted and to be relieved of. some
of the burdens and extortions which have
bonus .so heavily and unjiistlv on them since
the war. It is the duly of all good cltt/cns ,
and especially lax payers , tosuppoit the best
in" ! ! for nil olnccs , regaidlcss ol paity dicta
tion , nnd whin the people mo thoroughly
moused to a proper icali/ation of this fact
wo will secure needed reforms and icllevotho
over-burdened lax payer. A. E. Wiu : s.

There is little doubt that the warning of
the democratic organ will bo disieg.uik'd by
the democrats , not only of Wisconsin but of
Illinois. Ex-Governor Palmerof Springfield ,
who nspucs to succeed Karwell in the United
States senate , is coquetting for the Cicrm .1
and Catholic vote mid there is little doubt lie
will join with the other demoetatic leaders in
favoring the repeal of the compulsory educa
tion law. At Springfield , lib home , thu St.
Bonilico and St. Vincent Catholic societies
have adopted resolutions denouncing
the compulsory education law and de
claring that the members \\ill snppoit
no candidates for the legislatuio who will not
agree to work for a repeal or at least an
amendment to the nioasiiic. Tlio position
assumed is thut the law has worked a haul-
ship to the Catholic schools ami interleics
with their religions doctrines. In this con
nection it might be well lo note the section of
the Bennett law so obnoxious to Its opponents
and tlio provision of the Illinois statute rela
tive to the branches to be taghtintho schools.
The Bennett law says , :
No school shall bo lugnidcd ns a school 1111-
dt'r this act unless Ihcio shall be tnight
Ihiiicln us pal I of the I'lcnicntaiy education
of ehllilien leading , wilting , iiifilinictlc unit

under this act unless them sliull lie taught
tlicii'ln thi ) Kngllsh liingn.uu leading , Hill

Those opposed to thu Bennett law claim
th.it the statute of Illinois is moio obnoxious
than that of Wisconsin. Tlio clicnlar of
molest sent among the ( icrman Lnth'MMiis of
Wisconsin and Illinois was pit-pared in ( ! er-
