D \MAOK suitrt aggregating one hun
dred and live thousand dollars have al-

Btill wanting it.
LortstANA will experience a spasm of
joy , notwithstanding the prevailing

guished "Major Diirko is doing well in
Honduras. " It must bo a source of grati
fication to the taxpayers to know that
the defaulting treasurer is prospnrlng
on the olght hundred thousand dollars
stolen from the state.
As might have been expected , thoClu-
ne.so government is reported to have put
in force a law similar to the American
exclusion act. The law is not a political
expedient , but a justifiable retaliatory
measure. Hereafter Americans visiting
China or enilmrking in business in the
ceii stlal empire willjtosubject logroater
restrictions than are enforced against
the Mongols on this side of thol'aeifle.

magnifying power than the llnaneo com

west as I'Mfteenth street by the con-
Htruelion of the Tenth street viaduct.
It will be equally tlilHcult to demonstrate
the juitieo of assessing benellts-on prop
erty abutting on Hlevonth street , which
has already been taxed for a viaduct.
Tun opponents of ballot reform are
not able to derive much encouragement
from the result of tjio 41 rut trial of the
new ballot law of Uhodo Island , which
is similar in its principal features to the
MusMi.-huselts law. It was confidently
expected that the reform would receive
( i bet back from the Rhode fslaud experi
ment , because it wiw put to a novoror
test there than It had been elsewhere ,
particularly as to 'the matter
of celerity of voting. For ex
ample , there wore twenty-llvo
thousand voters registered In Provi
dence , while Oioro were only ton voting
plav 8 provided. This seonicd to prom
ise that nearly half the voters would bo
shut out , but the result was that only
IJio-o electors lost thulr votes who came
too Into to the polls or stayed away al
together. At I ! o'clock half of the regis
tered ut had been polled. Injnet the
voting was done about as rapidly as
under the old system , showing that the
objections raised to the t-ecrot
ballot bccuuso of the nlolay
It necossttntes at the polls Is entirely
ilhihOry. The Now York Sun , however ,
found one argument against the reform
which was ( -ullleieul to warrant its con
demnation , namely , that it had the ollcct
to i'cduet > the democratic vote. It is the
certainty that a similar law would do
this In Xow York city that will provjnt
ballot itiform in the Empire state * o long
is it lius a democratic governor.

It was plain Hint the decision of the
supreme court of the United States In
the Minnesota cases would bo taken ad
vantage of by the railroads to contest
every clTort by the stntos to rogttlato
transportation rates In the Interest of
the public. In declaring that the ques
tion of the reasonableness of the rate of
charges for transportation Is ono for ju-
clal Investigation , to bo determined by
duo process of law , whether such rate
should bo established by a legislature or
n body noting under its authority , It was
Inevitable that the railroads would use
the right thus allowed them to fight all
proposals of reductions in rates by state
authorities , regardless of the obvious
justice of such changes. The decision of
the highest tribunal has given them a
power of resistance to the will of the
people which the corporations will not
fall to improve to the fullest extent.
The first Instance in evidence of this is
supplied from Michigan. The legislature
of that state passed an act providing that
the maximum passenger rate between
any two points within the state should bo
two eentq a mile. IJoforo the supreme
court decision was rendered the railroads
expected to comply with tiio laworatauy
rate hud given no Intimation of any in
tention to resist it , but now they propose
to carry the matter into the courts ,
claiming , of course , that the reduction is
unreasonable , It is understood that they
will at once advance rates to the basis
prevailing before the law went into effect ,
and thus challenge proceedings on the
part of the state authorities to enforce
the law. In this ease tlio Issue will be
made directly against the authority of
the legislature , but the practical ques
tion involved is not essentially diU'oront
from that in the Minnesota cases.
The Michigan roads , it is said , pro
pose to at once return to the rates in
force before the enactment of ' the two
cent law. They may find that in tills
they are going farther than the
decision of tlio supreme court
warrants. It will bo remem
bered that Justice Miller , in a supple
mentary statement of general principles
to govern in cases of this kind , said that
where tlio-rates are fixed , cither by
legislature or by a commission , Iho
aggrieved parties have a right to appeal
to I bo courts , and until the judiciary has
decided the question the rates so fixed
must bo taken as the law of the'land. IIo
explained that the proper judicial
"relief is by a bill in chancery
asserting the unreasonable charac
ter of the tariff and asking relief
from Us exactions. From this it is clear
that , tlio Michigan railroads have no au
thority.to arbitrarily renew old rates ,
and any person denied transportation be
tween points in tlio state because refus
ing to pay the old rates would doubtless
have cause of action for damages against
the road. The case is an important one ,
and the result will bo regarded with very
general interest.

It does seem singular for the county
commissioner.- ! go back on the reports
and estimates of their own exports.
Coots and Shane know the county hospi
tal building from the ground up , inside
and out , and are thoroughly familiar
with the plans and specifications. What
object is there in getting arbitrators
who cannot possibly know as much
about the so-called extras as Messrs.
Cools and Hliiinn do ?
If the contractors are not satis
fied with their award , they have the
privilege of presenting their claims to
the courts. To bo plain about the matter -
tor , if Ryan and Walsh had done an hon
est job if they had employed competent
mechanics and constructed the building
in a workmanlike manner , the commis
sioners might bo justified in making them
a liberal allowance for extras. But
everybody who has ever seen the county
hospital knows it to be the worst job of
masonry on any public building over
erected in this cjty. It is a monumental
disgrace to the county that such botch-
work was tolerated. Jf the late grand
jury had done its duty the contractors
would have been indicted and sent to the
penitentiary. Hy rights the county is
entitled to recover damages from them
for inferior work and delays that would
moro than offset all their extras.
The com niibMonors evidently underrate
the intelligence and forbearance of this
community when they imagine that our
taxpayers will view with indifference any
compounding on their part of thobrn/.on
'imposture perpetrated by the con
tractors.
IWAUXd JX Ol'TlOXft.
The bill reported to the hoifse of rep-
ro.-ontatives by the commUte o on agri
culture defining "options"and "futures , "
and imposing a special tax upon dealers
therein , is in response to a very general.
demand from the larmers of the country
for legislation to suppress speculation in
food products. The meabiiro has been
carefully framed , so as not to interfere
with any legitimate operations in
trade. It will not prevent con
tracts or agreements in good faith
for the future delivery of the
articles to which it applies. It will not
interfere with the' farmer contracting
to sell and deliver any article ho pro
duces whou Hiieh article is in actual
cour.se of production. It puts no obstacle
in the way of honest and legitimate busi
ness. It simply provides that petvons
who gamble in the products of the farm ,
the bucket shop and grain pit dealers in
futures and "puts" and "calls , " shall
only bo permitted to do so by paying a
special tax , the amount of which" shall
bo largo enough to insure a
very great reduction in the number of
such speculators , while the penalties for
speculating without paying the tax will
\M \ sulllcieitt to deter any but the most
reckless from violating the law.
It Is not possible for congress to put
an end to speculation by an act prohibit
ing it. If it Iw conceded the authority
to nut * siieh a law it Is obvious that ft
could not enforce It. But the
proposed bill is believed to
bo both constitutional and cap
able of being enforced. It
undoubtedly can bo go far us the bucket
hhops are concerned , and tho- larger
siwculators on boards of trade would
hardly run the risk of the penalties by
evading the law. At any rate the ex
periment Is worth trying. Siwculatlon
in food products is allowed , so far as wo
uiv aware , lu 110 other country us It is
carried on In the United States , and yet
its absence is no drawback to the trade
of these countries. Everybody who
knows ruiythlng about it admits it
demoralizing inlluoiico. It has regard
for no law of commerce or legitimate
business. It takes no account of supply
and demand. It is not regulated by any
accepted principle of trade. As a
wholly arbitrary influence its effect Is to
unpoUlo values and to produce and
maintain an unnatural condition of the
markets prejudicial to the interests of
both producers and consumers. It Is im
possible that our commerce can bo
sound and healthy while this system
of gambling is allowed to con
tinue , and although it may bo impossible
to wholly suppress It , some improvement
is to bo hoped for If It can be checked.
Of course the bill Is being vigorously
opposed by the speculators , particularly
the claas of large operators who compose
the boards of trade and who have no toleration
eration for the llttlo gamblers oi the
bucket shop variety. This opposition ,
however , if wo may judge from expres
sions of members of the house committee
on agriculture , is not likely to exert
much Influence. The quite general feel
ing in congress evidently is that the
time has come for an earnest effort to
deal witli the evil of speculation , and
the promise for the passage of the pro
posed bill Is therefore very favorable.
HKFOKM WITH A VfiXGKAXCE.
Two weeks ago the council passed an
ordinance defining the number and ,
duties of deputies and clerks and ilxlng
their salaries. This ordinance was
promply approved by the mayor. Wo
had been led td believe that this ordi
nance would inaugurate economy and
business methods in various branches of
the city government and rid the city of
barnacles and tax-eaters.
But figs cannot be grown from thistles.
The present council was not organized
in the interest of the taxpayer. Not a
single sinecure has been dispensed with.
On the Contrary , the ordinance legal
izes extravagance and indolence and
actually adds to the salary list. It
creates tlio now olllco of mayor's clerk at
twelve hundred dollars a year , and pro
vides for ornamental assistants for offi
cials who have an abundance of leisure.
The flagrant extravagance in the city
clerk's ' office is ratilie.d and continued.
The city clerk's salary is fixed by tlio
charter at two thousand a year. The ordi
nance gives him a deputy at one hundred
and thirty-live dollars per month ; two re
cording clerks at ono hundred and ten
dollars per month , and a stenographer at
.sixty-live dollars per month. Formerly
the city clerk with ono occasional assis
tant performed all the work of aud
iting city bills , made out all city war
rants , and besides tills issued all licenses
and acted as member of the licensing
board. Now the city comptrolloruudits ,
all bills and accounts and makes out all
warrants , and the police commission
employ a clerk to do the liceiibc work.
There is no more need of four salaried
employes in tlio city clerk's office than
there i of live wheels to a wagon. And
oven if there was , what excuse is there
for paying ono hundred and ten dollars
a month for a recording clerk ,
who is simply a copyist , when
hundreds of comptent copyists
can bo hired at sixty dollars a month.
This is reform and business methods
in city affairs with a vengeance.
ARMY circles are likely to bo a good
deal stirred up over the order of the sec
retary of war requiring reports as to the
special qualifications , accomplishments ,
habits of study , discipline and reliabil
ity of officers below the rank of colonel.
It is a departure or reform which will
doubtless not bo received with favor by a
very considerable number of officers
who have seen no necessity for increas
ing their attainments except in a social
way , and it is to be apprehended that
these are in the majority. But it is
nevertheless a judicious order , and will
undoubtedly result in good to tlio ser
vice. It will lead men who have grown
far too careless regarding the matter of
improving their qualifications to reform
their conduct in'this respect , and it will
induce others who hnvo allowed their
reputation for reliability to suffer to
change their habits. There are nvinj-
young officers in tlio army who have su
perior talent who are not making the
best use of their time , and not
a few , unquestionably , who are
making a sad waste of it. To all such
the order of the secretary df war will be
a great benefit if it shall lead them , as
it may reasonabl3' be expected to do , to
institute a thorough reform of habits
and conduct. All ollleer.s who will con
sider the secretary's order in the proper
spirit will approve it , and undoubtedly
the result will vindicate its wisdon.
TIIK boomers of land in the Northwest
territory propose to make systematic ef
forts , to turn the tldo of immigration to

drummed up by agonls and the advan
tages of the perpetual homo of the bli/-
y.ard are pictured in irresistible colors.
The result of this plan cannot fall to be
beneficial to the United States. Canada
is an excellent training school for thrifty
Immigrants , who after acquiring a
knowledge of American farm methods ,
promptly move into the republic.
RliFoliM is striding over Missouri at a

with the cash to make good the deficit ,
and 'the courts have pronounced pro-
gro slvo euchre playing a grievous of
fense against law and morals. With
these evidences of progress whining like
beacons on Missouri's path , who can say
that clvill/atlon is not advancing ?
TiIK late "vigilant" mayor and dis
penser of public funds to corporations , is
"fernlnst" any movement which might

with which the present members draw
their salaries without rendering1 an

thoughtlessness of school children. Let all
hare a valuable lesson on this day on the earn

IN THE jurruxi > A.
"In speaking of the gubernalorial possibili
ties , " said ex-Secretary of State Koggen to
the rotunda lounger last evening , "I am con
siderably inclined to favor the movement
looking toward the nomination of Land Com
missioner Grotf. He Is being talked up pretty
generally down oar way , and then , too , he is
an old resident of Lincoln , in fact made his
start there , and from Ihore came to Omahu.
That is just the sort of a move I want to
further. Politically speaking , it has been
pat at the judge in this way : In the event
of Senator Paddock's dropping out , which it
is said ho intends lo do , Graff could
return here , take up his residence in
tlio South Plattc country again and come
in as Paddock's successor , after a term in the
governor's chair , because I think that he can
get the nominal ion sure. I do not know what
his idea of the affair is , but it sccnv ! to bo a
pretty well established fact that ho is to bo
a candidate. Thayer cuts no llgure wllh us
whatever , and whatever is done for him
down there will bo in a sort of a secondary
way contingent on some other nrin's chances.
Wo have a candidate in Lincoln already in
.ho peivoa of Erasmus E. Brown , president
of the State National h.nik , but I want to ro-
nark to you that there is a threatening out-
ook in another direction. The alliance
> eople are apt so take up political matters this
fall and in a measure control the nominations.
The promised redueUon by the state board of
transportation of Iho local rates to within
" 0 per cent of tlio Iowa rules , may dispose of
the political aggression on the part of the al
liance. This reduction is prumi.ed at the
next meeting of the board , and it it is really
made will largely do awav with this threat
ened turn on the part of the alliance , and
bring toiho front some such man as Judge
GrolT for governor. This promised reduction
will pacify the alliance and they will will
ingly fall into line. The matter of through
rates is beyond tlio control of the board or
the alliance either for 'that matter-their
bone oV contention is Iho local rate.
"Council ! Unquestionably Lancaster county
will bo against him. This niav nol come
from mo with good grace , as they
will say that 1 am disgruntled , but
there is nothing in that. Lambcrtson
has been mentioned as ids successor , hut it is
doubtful whether ho will go into Iho light as
ho is a close connection of Brown's. Oloa ,
Cass , Gage , Suundcrs and Johnson counties
are pledged to Lancaster for any combination
Unit looks to the knocking out of Council. It
is given out cold that Council has taken tip
with the very men who opposed him and
turned his back on UIIHC who made him. His
appointment of Geer to the postnr.istcr.shlp ,
while it is a creditable appointment enough
so far as the man goes , will not help Council's
cause. Geer was the man who actually led
the opposition to him.
"As to Iho attorney general , the dis
position la lo renominalo Leeso , . if
he is taken up at nil and not
for governor , as many would like to see duno.
He Is a useful man where he is , innl his leul-
Ing eases have not boon nuro than one-half
disposed of.
"Tho prohibitionists nro doing but llttlo in
Lancaster county just now. They have had
their run down there , and it has bt-en a slow
and unsatisfactory wee. They have about
siient their force. They can't como within
hailing distance of carrying the county. The
license amendment will carry fully 70 per
cent of the total vote. That Is wliat the pen-
plo will demand down there , mid thoya.ro
likewi.to very strong for the amendment in
creasing the Judge's and their salaries. There
is a movement on foot , in our sec
tion to bring about u call for a
meetingof the lawyers for the purpose of put
ting thls-amondmeat properly before the people
ple , nnd urging its gonor.il adoption by all
parties , as It is said' that the supreme court
linvo yet to reach the eases argued last Onto-
bor , and at the aiiuio time they are a very In
dustrious sot of Judges , doing their utmost lo
keep the docket clear , some of them working
at least seven days in the week.
' 'The democracy will cut no figure. Under
no complication of tho.siliiatloii havo'ihey a
ghost uf a show. Some people sconi to think ,
however , that there Is one possible chance for
them on thn state ticket , in the event
of a republican , democratic , prohibition and
Hlllunro tiokot being put In the fluid. The
mass convention of farmers and thmo favor
ing a reduction of rates will undoubtedly Bug
gcst a list of iinmcs for endorsement at the re
publican convention. It Is hinted Unit Uiu
Farmers' alliance and the prohibition party
uro .seeking amalgamation , lint from ttv'licut

there Is nothing In this , us u largo
iHuulc.'i' of the German agrlcnlturiil j
clubs , formed under some pocnliar i
system prevailing in Germany , are |
merging' Into this alliance , after a thorough i
examination of the ritual , by-laws and con
stitution of this ( irgani/atlon for tlumisohvs ,
"In regard to this question of ll'eeiwo or no
license , there is hut ono feasible w.iy to meet
this matter and meet it successfully , ami that
way is to have the business men take it up In
every county la the state , and It it n ting sug
gested that n aw * convention he hold eltlior
