TIIK decision of the United States su- Itrt'ine court will have u disastrous ell'cct on the fees of prohibition constables. To the young1 and Inexperienced Da- K'otaiib the supreme court decision comes lilco a providential down pour at the threshold of constitutional drought. The free nnd unrestricted circulation of the jug will enable every man to become his own dr THK decision of tlio government to ship homo at its own expense several China- nion who sneaked into the country with out permission opens up a now industry for the wily Mongolian. Scores of thorn are slipping over the boundary every day. How easy it will bo for a veteran Mongol to change places with a fresh arrival and secure transportation to the Flowery kingdom at government ex pense. THE Western Union company refuses lo accept the schedule of rates prepared l > y Postmaster Gonornl Wanamakor. It does not refuse government business , however , and permits its claims to remain unsettled until a more liberal man suc ceeds tlio present olllcor. This la one of the old trick's of that corporation. Jay Gould pulls a strong oar in a presidential campaign , and whichever party shows a friendly spirit is certain of a liberal con tribution for "legitimate expenses. " RKi'OitTS received at the state depart ment indicate that the Russian govern inent proposes to become an active com petitor of American meat produdts in for eign markets. Paclcories and slaughter houses are to bo established at loading shipping points by the government. A paternal industry of this magnitude will undoubtedly all'ect American exports of meat an seriously as India wheat affected the foreign market for that cereal. Rus sia has an Important advantage in being fifteen hundred miles nearer the British market. The probabilities are that "tho fichemo Is exaggerated. In any event , American energy will ilnd Homo means to overcome Russian competition. tlio charter recently adopted in' Kansas City , publlo funds must bo de posited in the bank offering the highest interest and giving the best security for their custody. A similar law is in suc cessful operation In the state of Missouri nnd also in Chicago. Briolly , the law requires the mayor , comptroller and city attorney to select on the ( Irst of each year as a depository for city funds Kuch bank or banking institu tion as offers the best terms , estimated on dally Inlanoos and paid monthly. All funds must bo deposited in such bank , which is required to give a bond of ono million dollar * , to be approved by two-thirds of the members of the upper house of the council. It ID esti mated that this reform will add twenty 11 vo thousand dollars a year to the city rovenues. There is no just reason why Htatcs and communities should bo inul < 'tiul of the prollts which now go Into the pookols of politicians. State , county and municipal funds in Nebraska an * farmed out among banks for the iH'noflt of the ollleluls , and the profit derived from the business is a fruitful of political trades and scandalous among bunks. Treasurers should ii'i'olvo ll.\o < l salaries instead of feed , and profits i/o into the public fund. rut : MMIT OF Prohibition received n discouraging blow In the decision of the United States supreme court , which declares that a state cannot prevent liquors coming within its boundaries In the regular course of commerce and their delivery to tlio persons importing them. In the absence of express authority from con gress the Hlato is powerless to keep out any article af commerce , and liquors are among Hiioh articles , from other states , because lo do so _ wouldbo _ _ to interfere with commerce between the stales , the regulation and control of which belongs exclusively to congress. The justlco of this position , as absolutely necessary to maintain the principle of free and unrestricted trade between the states , Is obvious The legislature of a stale has the unquestioned authority , in the exercise of what is technically called Its police power , to prohibit or regulate the inanufacluro and saloof liquor within the jurisdiction of the state , or of any other artlclo which it may regard as in juriously affecting the public. But If any citizen of a state purchases the prohibited article , it being a reg ular article of commerce , in another state , nnd orders it shipped to him the state cannot lawfully Interfere with Us transportation and de livery. That is an act of interstate commerce which is subject to the regu lation only of congress , with no limita tions , as the decision of the supreme court says other than those prescribed in the constitution. The citb.cn of Iowa can buy any article of commerce from the merchant of Nebraska with absolute certainty that there is no power in the former state to prevent the consumma tion of the transaction. It is sulllclontly plain , as contended by the minority of the court , Unit if a state having prohibition cannot keep out liquors manufactured in other states , though it can regulate or prohibit their sale after they become the property of Us citi'/.ons , the result must bo to impair the effectiveness of the state's policy. Hut this consideration cannot bo allowed to work detriment to the broad and vital principle of complete commercial equal ity between the states , or bo permitted to justify the exorcise of power by a state which would place a limitation upon the power vested exclusively in congress by the constitution. The dissenting opinion of three of the justices is essen tially narrow and weak and serves lo give force to the decision of the court rather than to diminish the slronglh of its arguments. The supreme court some time ago de cided , in the Maine case , that the state could not interfere with the sale of im ported liquors in the original packages. This guaranteed protection to dealers engaged in foreign commerce , the regu lation of which is exclusively in the con trol of congress. The court now decides that the shipment of liquor from ono state into another and its delivery can not bo interfered with by a state law. The limit of prohibition is thus clearly and fully defined , and the impossibility of making it completely effective , so long as the federal constitution remains as it is witli respect lo vesting congress with exclusive power to regulate foreign and interstate commerce , is lirmly es tablished. TIIK IXTKIIST.ITK LA II' . It is understood that the interstate commerce committee of the house will take no action on the several bills that have been introduced to repeal or amend the long and short haul clause of the in terstate act until the commissioners , who have been investigating the subject as it relates to the price of agricultural products in the west , have made their report. There are indications that when the time comes there will bo a considerable pressure upon congress for radical changes in the law , and if the friends of the act are not alert and vigilant it may bu weakened in important respects. An organ of Wall street sentiment recently remarked that although the law had been in operation about thren years it has no more effect than if it was not on the statute books. It charged that although the law is daily and openly violated lated there has noyor boon' criminal complaint instituted nor a single prose cution , and alleges that while the com mission has found hundreds of cases In which Iho act has been evaded nothing lias been done to show that It is In force. There is unques tionably seine truth in this , but it may fairly bo doubted whether the charges of the Wall street organ fully explain its motive for assailing the operation of the law. The allegation that the law has had no good effect will not bo admitted by anyone who Is in a position to compare the condition of affairs before the law was passed with the condition at the present time. That it has not accom plished all that was hoped for from it may be granted. This may bo duo in part to the fact that the commission has been somewhat lax In Us enforcement and In part to the necessarily tentative nature of the act. Hut it can bo very satisfactorily demon strated that taking the country at large the law has been of very material benefit to the people. It has certainly remedied some of the evils of the days preceding Us enactment , and there is reason to believe - liovo that Its inlluonoj Is working stead ily for the correction of others. The crop of evil pr.i'Jtlcas to ba destroyed was a very largo ono , and it in un reasonable to think that the growth of a quarter of a oantury should be cleared away in ouo-tonth of Unit time , particularly when the means of doing it has encountered steadily every form of hostility , both by open conspiracy and covert assault. It is no fault of the law that railroad managers violate It. They break agreements hol- emnly entered into batweon themselves. If they were a * earnest in scnklng to obey the law aa they are In llndlng ways to evade It all the evils the nut waa In tended to correct would soon vanish. Opposition to the law docs not come from any single source. It Is undoubt edly true that there are various interests which Iwllovo they would bo bettor off without the law , or it it were moil 1 lied in very material rospects. Hut It Is equally unquestionable that the chief and most vigorous opposition comas from that ola& * who have in the past enjoyed spe cial favors from the railroads , and It hardly need bo onltl that this is a very formidable opposition which needs to bo carefully watched , particularly by the producers of the co'untry. Without doubt the general public sentiment is In favor of maintaining the law , with such changes as the experience of the commission and the wisdom of congress shall suggest as necessary to give It more effective and satisfactory results. 1'OTATUES. . Potatoes wcrft not essentially changed with n fulr demand for tlio best olTerlnfjs. Quota tions ; Choice to fnncy Wisconsin Durbnnks , lOfSXIc per bushel on truck ; Beauty of Hebron , 42@-ISc ; Hose , 'BfttOo ; Minnesota nml Iowa stock , i-'OiHc discount from the above ; mixed lots , 'tOC-MOc. The above was cut from it recent east ern price current for produce , and the attention of the farming community in Nebraska , Iowa , Minnesota and Dakota is called to the great discrepancy in quo tations between Wisconsin and Nebraska and Iowa potatoes. Wo ralso just as good potatoes in Nebraska as are raised anywhere when wo take Iho trouble to do so , but our farmers have become careless and slov enly in the selection of seed and as a re- suit buyers complain that Ills almost im possible to ill ! an order for u car load of straight , clean potatoes of any kind , and that therefore they "cannot pay as much for Nebraska potatoes by fifteen to twenty cents par ono hundred pounds as for. Wisconsin and Michigan potatoes. It matters not whether the grower prefers Bui-banks , Mammoth Pearl , Beauty of llobron , WhitqElophant or any other kind of seed , if ho will only market all of each kind separately ho will bo amply repaid forliis trouble and display of common sense by llfty to ninety dollars 'more per car load for good , straight lots of potatoes , all of ono kind. THK increased development of the mineral resources of the country is strik ingly shown in the annual report of the director of the mint. While the total gold product decreased two hundred thousand dollars last year compared with the previous year , the silver pro duct increased nearly four millions. The total of both gold and silver reached the enormous sum of ninety-two million del lars. Twenty years ago the product of the states west of the Missouri aggre gated fifty million dollars. .If wo add to the gold and silver" product of these states and territories for 1889 tlio value of the lead and copper produced , the total amounts to one hundred and twenty-seven and a half millon dollars. It is a singular fact Unit the annual out put of gold in Iho west show.-1 but slight variation since 1870 , while the .silver output steadily increased from seven teen million in 1870 , to sixty-four mill ion in 18SS ) . A like annual increase may bo safely predicted for years to como. The industry is practically in its infancy. The surface of the country has scarcely boon .scratched , and compara tively little of it has byen thoroughly prospected , crude methods still obtain in the smaller c'imp.-i , and millions of tons of low grades are awaiting cheap transportation facilities to net u profit. The rapid extension of railroads to now remote mining districts and the steady improvement and cheapening of re duction methods will swell for an in definite period the annual product of precious metals. GHKAT opportunities develop bravo patriots. The efforts of recant converts to infuse mugwump virus into the dem ocratic party an ; very properly nnd vig orously repudiated by the local custodian of Iho party's honor. A distinguished Samoset brave not only plants his frame throbbing with righteous indignation in the breach , but unfurls the parly banner and proclaims in unmistakable tones , "No fusion. " The edict has gotio forth , with the heal of authority , that democratic nrini'inles can't ho compromised ' without loss of con science and dishonor. " These are grand and glorious words , and their momentum is enhanced when Iholrsonrco is considered. It will interest and thrill the farmers of the stale to learn from the same authoritative source that the railroads can buy them in droveg at ono hundrcd dollars a head. For such cattle > the holy custodian of the democratic conscience has no use , probably because outside competition would decrease his revenue from railroad sources.- The proclamation of the Samoset bravo clears the political atmosphere , exposes democratic "conscience'1 to the faithful , and gives the public a panoramic view of the great and only exponent of democratic manhood in these parts. Beside - side him oven Juan Boyle sinksjnto ob scurity , and the sago of Arbor Lodge is lost in the primeval forests. SKCUETAUV It LA INI : is reported to bo highly gratified with the result of his efforts In behalf of arbitration between the American .republics , and he cer tainly has reason to bo. The represent atives of nine governments , including the United States , have signed a formal treaty , and three more are expected lo soon do so. This provides foe the arbi tration of certain controversies that may arlso between the republic/ concerned , and it is expjoled will go far tow.ird pre venting in future the conllicfs which liave been so disa.strnirs to some of Iho South American countries and done so much to retard their progress. . .Tho'gun - oral adoption of the proposed treaty by iho American republics , which will un doubtedly bo done In time , will be a most important advance in international pol ity , and this tilnglo achievement of the Pan-American conference would'sorvo to give It historical emlnuncD. The sug gestion of siioh a treaty having been miide and urged by Secretary lilnlne , It is easy to understand why its almost issured success Is regarded with en thusiasm at the btuto department. IN the course of a debate on the land forfeiture bill in the United States sen ate a few days tigo two senators called attention to the general IndilToroneo of member. ! of that hnily to the dis cussion of questions affecting the public Interests. These senators were some what indignant at the fact that the hall was nearly empty while they wore talk ing on the bill , and according to their statement this la a common occurrence , var'.cil only when bomo btmator is mak ing a polltlcil : cp oih which men of both parties doom It hicc.sary to hoar. There is unquestionably a great deal of useless talking done in the senate , and senators cannot very jitbtly be blamed for desert ing their scat vj-lioti such of their col leagues as habitually indulge in long harangues gotmp to address the senate. Hut on the otltJr'liaml ' , senators are paid by the people to'attend to the publlo In terests , and tllely uniform habit of leav ing the hall whenever something Is be ing said which , tboy do not think It nec essary to hoar can only be condemned. The senate is .siully in need of reforma tion In several respects. WB print elsewhere the communica tion addressed to Secretary Blaine by the committee of the Omaha board of trade appointed to represent the views of the board regarding the subjects which wore proposed -for the considera tion of the Pan-American conference. That body having completed its delibera tions and become historicalIt is Interest ing to learn , as shown by this communi cation , how nearly all the recommenda tions of the Omaha board of trade com mittee received the approval of the con ference , and wo arc quite Hiiro the busi ness men of this city will road with great Interest the suggestions of their representatives , now probably a part of the archives of ono of the most important and memorable international conferences in the history of the world. The views presented by the committee are in the highest degree creditable to their intelligence and judgment. THIS extension of the electric railway over the Fnrimm street line to a connec tion with the Walnut Hill line at Lowe avomio is tit last assured. Work on the motor will soon begin and the horse car on our principal thoroughfares will soon bo a reminiscence , i'hoehango has been long looked for and its consummation will bo hailed with a good deal of Palis- faction by thousands of people. This new line will almost make the street railway system of Omaha as perfect as it could bo desired. The only drawback is the overhead wires nnd they will even tually have to give way to the storage battery. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Tun BKK'S figures on the financial con dition of South Omaha can bo readily verified by an examination of the books. The denials of the opponents of annexa tion cannot altar the fact that the salva tion of Iho city depends on union. Tax payers , business and workingmen , whoso interests are bound up with the progress of the city can readily FCO the consequences quences of nn annual deficit in the city's revenue. It means disaster to values , de pression to industries and oppressive taxation to pay -discounted bonds and warrants. Thd's61fish schemes of poli ticians and the clamor of Iho lawless clement should" not bo allowed to stand in Iho way of permanent prosperity. SPASMODIC attacks on the vendors of vile milk accomplish no permanent good. Systematic inspection and regula tion should .bo put in operation by the board of health , nnd competent mqn employed for the work. It is of the greatest importance to the public hoallh that purity and cleanliness be enforced not only in the dairies , but among all retailers of per ishable food products , and the council .should lend prompt and reasonable as sistance to the board in carrying out its plans for the protection of the people. IT is an ill wind that blows nobody good. If the strike of the Chicago pack ers continues for any length of time the Armours , Swifts and other packers will do their packing at Omaha and Kansas City. That will very materially in crease the business of pork and beef packing in the packing centers of the Missouri valley. A LITTUI more activity on the part of Iho council would bo appreciated by the unemployed. Dolinito action on the grading ordinances should bo had , so as to increase the avenues of employment. The season is ripe for activity in all de partments of public work. the self chosen leaders of the democratic party hereabouts disagree , who shall he called in lo arbitrate and prevent a head end collision1 THK employment of flagmen on the north side railroad crossings would materially decrease the chance of acci dent.

It appears that there Is u'goiioral rupture la ita ranks that promises endless trouble. The original pro gramme for the Interstate contest , which takes place at Funk's opera house Thursday evening , provided for ubamniot and. bull for the evening following.

It appears , further , Hint the state house was secured for n banquet and ball , nml the tcrpsichorcun lads Insist that the ball shall go on , nnd It Is said that they ni-0 backed by iullucntial frlouds. The nsso- elation by committee , however , wilted on Commissioner Stecn , chairman ot the board of public lands and buildings , and asked that action bo taken to prevent the dance in repre sentative hall. Mr. Steen asked the commit tee to furnish him a statement of thosltuutlon In writing , signed by the president and .secretary of the association and the presi dents of the several committees , nnd prom ised them that if the fuels proved to bo as they represented thorn ho would cull n meet ing of the board of public lauds and .buildings nnd sit down the . on danco-iii-any-ovcut boys. If the board chances to decide hi favor of the dance faction it is said that the banquet will 'bo ' given nt Grant memorial hall. It appears , tilso , that Ferguson is not the only plagarizer.

Disbarment proceedings were commenced in the supreme court today against IJreckeu- ridira & ] inwkciiriiliM ! < n Inir linn nf Omnlm by Halstcad A. Mustek of Hamilton county. Ho alleges tlmt ns lawyers Ureckeurldgo fc Brcckcnridgo bavo made false anlduvits in this : The supreme court has decided that attorneys' fees cannot bo collected in any ac tion of contract since the passage of the 1ST ! ) law. The federal court , however , holds dif ferently and refuses to follow the construc tion of the law 113- the supreme court. It appeal's that Brcckcnridgo & Brcckcn ridge represent Burnhum , Tuellys As Co. of Iowa , mortgage loan agents , nnd that It lias been their practice as lawyers to take their foreclosures , commencing suit in the state courts and having them removed to the federal courts on the ground of noil-residence of their client and the fur ther ground that u suit for u less sum than 82,000 cannot be commenced in the federal court. It is said that the holdings of some of the federal judges uro such that cases com menced in the state courts flml ready way into the federal courts. Mustek alleges that it has been the practice of the defendants to commence cases In the state court and then hnvo Tulloys of tliotlrin of Burnham , Tulleys & Co. , swear them into the federal court on the grounds of uou-resl- denco and local prejudice that would prevent justice in the state courts. This , Mustek al leges , Is done for the solo and only purpose of getting the allowance of the attorney's fees embodied in the mortgage notes nml the re moval of the case into courts so far from the courts of local jurisdiction that it will eat up the property that becomes n matter of con troversy. As indicated , the petitioner seeks to secure the disbarment of the defendants. > tu. nuKCKKXiniioi : iXTiitviiwni : ) . A local reporter for Tin : BEK saw Mr. It. W. Breckenridgo with respect to the above dispatch. Mr. Breckenridgo said ho knew nothing about the matter beyond the state ments made in the dispatchand the ilrst inti mation ho or his linn hud of any such pro ceeding was convoyed by a telegram from Mr. Sebomp who happened to bo present In the supreme court when the matter was pre sented. Mr. Breckcnridiro said further : "Tho facts nro simply thcso : Our linn nro the attorneys for tlio mortgage brokers , Burnham , Tulloys & Co. , for many years lo cated ut Council Bluffs but now succeeded by Lbo Anglo-American Mortgage & Trust com pany , whoso principal olllces arc in Omaha , a suit was begun by Burnham , Tulloys & Co. : igalnst Mr. Mustek in the district court of Hamilton county , Nebraska , In which L. W. Tulleys , ns trustee for a non-resident holder of n prior ineumbrance on the land mortgaged to Burnham , Tulleys & Co , was made u party defendant , and the case was on the order of Judge Dandy , removed from the district court of Hamilton county to the federal court , under the laws of the United States , on the application of Tulloys" trustee on the ground of local prejudice and that the state court would refuse to enforce the contract obliga tions assumed by the mortgagor , The object of the removal was , I am frank to say , to get the case Into u court where the contract will bo enforced. "I urn not uwaro that thcro Is anything cul- niblo In effecting the removal of this case ; re novate of cases begun In the state courts to the federal courts on the ground of local prejudice have been made for years , nnd onu of frequent occurrence now , and local preju dice is ono of the grounds designated by con gress for the removal of causes from thostato to the federal courts. "I do not see how the supreme court of No- misku can accept jurisdiction in this matter ; ho proceedings criticized uro entirely in the 'ederal court , and If the removal was 1m- iroperly made that court will rcmnnd It to bo state court. "Personally I do not know Mr. A goo. I hlnk lie is an arrant coward to institute such i proceeding without some sort of uotiro to is. I presume , however , ho is seeking popu- arity among those of his county who would Ike to avoid fiillllling their contracts and ho payment of their just obligations. I re gard tlio proceeding as u trick to turthor.somo hellish political ambition which possesses Mr. \geo and ho is trying to pose us the friend of m oppressed class. "Wo have had no olllelal notice of the pen- It'iiiiy of the proceedings , and 1 shall Ito Mir- irlso'd If the supreme court does not hold that t has all It eares to do to look utter the sharp tract ices of lawyers who do business only In ho stulo ifinrtH. and let tlio federal court uko euro of itbflf.

The Farmers' alliance In Sutton county hns passed resolutions censuring ono James Sanford - ford , who Is traveling through the stnto claiming to represent n Farmers' alliance In- sunuice company , nnd also claiming to bo em ployed by the state alliance to address the subordinate alliances. They allege that the Insurance company which ho represents Is not connected with the alliance In nny way or form , and that ho is acting without the au thority of the nlllnuco. The School Creek ulllunco denounces Suuford us u fraud und nn Injury to the cause. Commenting upon the resolutions passed bv tlmt body , the Sutton Advertiser Buys" : Thcro Is great Indignation throtigliont the country where this man bus beeu operating in such n deceptivemuniicr. . Mr. Sanford struck this country about n mouth ago. Ills Ilrst debut Into publlu notoriety was ut Geneva , whcro ho Inter rupted a publlo meeting whcro Governor I Tbnycr was speaking , and Insulted the governor in n loud nnd Impudent manner. Ho has . .since then spent his tlmo among different lodges in this section , speak ing nt night in the school houses and work- ( iug his Insurance racket In the day time , nml | nil the while living on hum und eggs und ' ether .substantial diet furnished free by his mlsmildcd admirers. His hnrrangcus nt the 'school houses con- . slst always in u furious und windy ussiuilt on 5v nil lines of business and all conditions of .so'V cletv outsixlo of funnel's and the farming business ; und the Farmer's alliance , accord ing to his Interpretation , is nnti-overythlng. Ho pictures all business us in direct opposi tion to the-farmer , and his doctrine is wild ami unreasonable. A number of his victims got together this week in the northwest cor ner of the county and in comparing notes dis covered thnt for the same amount of insur ance ho hud charged them nil the way from $12 to WO. Ho is pronounced by these men ns a fraud of the Ilrst water , and funnel's everywhere arc warned against bis designing scheme , which is to work the situation for all it will stand until he is exposed und then skip to now flclds. It is n shame that just at this time , when the fanners' movement is under good headway , this guy deceiver should cast such discredit on its character. It gives the idea that the fanner is the most easily duped man under the sun , and that ho is the natural prey for the shyster and the roguo. It is not true , however , that the fanner is more ready to blto nt tempting bait than men in other lines of business. Townspeople are as often taken in and suitor many deceptions for being too trustful in u stranger and bis smooth talks. The Advertiser hopes that this man Suu- ford und his teachings will bo promptlyv kicked out of the alliance , as ho deserves to 4j , d be , and kicked out of the confidence of the x- fannors , whoso confidence ho has abused.
