The asser tion that a full grown alderman , poa- Bossedof modern business sense , squan dered In a year a private fortune of ono hundred thousand dollars In addition to his salary and emoluments , should bo liberally salted before swallowing.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia "rcss is making u tour of the south for ho purpose1 of ascertaining the views of iroininont men of both parties on this ubji'ct , and his letters giving the opti ons of republicans represent them , with nrn exceptions , ns unqualifiedly hostile o the bill now bcforo the senate. Ono f these , prominent in the politics f Virginia , Is quoted as saying that indui' the proposed law petitioners in ongrossionnl districts where democrats lold a largo share of tlio power would ) o ostracised and boycotted socially and n business ; that If negroes working for lomocratlc employers they would bo dis charged. Great dilllculty would bo ouml in securing the right kind of men o miforco the law , both because they ire not numerous , and few would bo will- ng to accept the duty. An intelligent colored man who is a leader umong iis people , said the present law b u farce but it will bo far bettor for his ace to go on under it , though 11 is a dead letter , than to have n now ono enacted which-will bccomo only'par- hilly operative after it hns coat innocent ivcs and disturbed all the social condl- ,10113 of the colored people. IIo said . .herovoro few white republicans who would euro to have it known that they wkcd for the enforcement of the law ns required by the pending bill , and if icgrocs should petition every mnn of them , as soon ns they mudo the demand , might just ns well pack up his little worldly nil and leave the district , never to return. His cmploy- ncnt would bo taken from him and his personal safety menaced. IIo would bo over after n marked man. . Leading re publicans of North Carolina wore em phatic in the opinion that no good re sults could bo expected from the pro posed legislation. Ono of these , .tho postmaster at lluloigh , an J for many years the chief supervisor of elections under the existing election law , said that such laws -were injurious because they were inadequate to remedy the evil complained of nnd only served to in crease and intensify the dillioulties of the situation. The present law was not enforced , and ho believed the proposed law woulil only ninlce things worse , .ludgoltussull of North Carolina , who has boon prominent in the republican politics of that stale over since the wnr , declared that the pending election law could not bo enforced generally in the south , and that most serious consequences quences would result from an attempt to enforce it. Similar opinion come9jrom Georgia , 'and from Alabama there is re ported a general republican revolt against the proposed legislation. This widespread and decided opposi tion among the better clnss of southern republicans to nny change in the laws regulating federal elections , at least in the manner provided for in the bill which passed the house and is pending in the senate , should notfn.il to oxortau inlluenco upon republican senators -who are susceptible to the opinions of trudt- worthy members of their party in the election of the country whore the proposed legislation is confessedly intended to remedy evils justly com- ulaincd of. If n majority of the intelli gent nnd reputable republicans of the south do not want nncwclcctionlnw , be cause they can see in it nopromisoof good to the party there , but rather injury and nn increase of evils , and a majo'rity of the republicans of the north either tnko no interest in the proposed legislation or tire opposed to it , uothiiijj moro should bo necessary to convince republican sen ators of thoitioxpedicncy of enacting now legislation on this subject at present. Tlio pending election bill will not pass the bonato if republican senators give heed to the prevailing fontimcut in their party , both north and north. THE QUKSl'lDX OF JURISDICTION. The opinion of the Interstate commerce commission on the protest of the rail roads against the reduction of rates oa food products , nnd on the motion to dis miss proceedings for want of jurisdje- tlon , is a very clear justification of the course of procedure and the action tnkon < by the coinmlgsion. Under the act to regulate commerce the interstate com merce commission has authority and is required to execute and enforce the pro visions of the act , It can in vestigate , ilnd facts , reach con clusions , and make orders on com plaint inac'lo by others or upon inquiry instituted on its own motion. It can hear nnd dolormriic , ascertain and declare the truth , and whllo its findings , conclusions and ordor.s can only bo enforced through the decisions and judgments of the courts , they nro prima fade evidence nnd sulliclont until in the opinion of the court overcome by other evidence. The commission may proceed to cn- force the provisions of the net on com plaint made by nny person , corpo ration or association authorized to complain , but it Is not necessary that it shall wait for a. com plaint in order to enforce the law. It is hold , and tlio politicals clearly sound , that In tlio absence of complaint the commission must , if it is to enforce the law , proceed on its own motion. To deny this right fo the commission -would ob viously deprive it of ono of Its most Im portant functions nnd leave the enforce ment of the luw to the uncertain con tingency of a complaint from some por- bon or corporation whose Interests might bo oltocted by the charges or practice of curriers. How ever probnblo It may bo that no sorioiiH violation of the law will happen without complaint being made to the commission , Itis&tlll manifestly desira ble , and undoubtedly such is tUo Inten tion of the act , that tlio comralsslonshnll , whenever it lias knowledge tlmt the law is being violated , proceed on its own mo tion to enforce the law. It Is certainly the popular understanding that it has this authority , subject , of eouwe , lo judi cial investigation and decision. It was assumed by the roads , as ono of the grounds for denying jurisdiction , that the proceeding was not commnncod and conducted In accordance with the rules o practice established by the com mission , ami-was therefore without au thority of law. The suflliJlent reply to this is that the rules of practice made in accordance with the provisions of the act refer to proceedings commenced by parties militarized to complain nnd apply to the commission by petition , mid have no application to proceedings in stituted by the commission on its own motion , which nro commenced and conducted under the statute. The absurdity of the contention of the railroads in this particular la very clearly pointed out. The commission shows that tlio railroads had notice of .ho . proceedings sufllelent for the pur- > ese and sitlllelonl in law , and that there is no ground of just complaint on his score. The assumption that the rates in question are no more than rea sonable is answered by the presentation of facts which the railroads will find it very dilllcult to dispose of. As the Issue thus mndo is very ikoly to ho carried into the courts , nnd as ' it involves a question of very great importance Electing tlio authority of the interstate commerce commission , it is a , matter of general interest to know the grounds upon which the commission rests its : iction. They appear to bo of a very strong and substantial character , and it is possible that the moro conservative umong the railroad managers may con clude that itwill bo the pnrt of wisdom to submit to the order reducing rates ivithout putting the question of jurisdic tion loa judicial test. OUIt QFb'IClAt , OIHIA3T. Under the law the paper that is will ing to Bell its columns for the lowest price is made the oHleial paper. Tlio most influential paper naturally cannot ill'ord to compete under such condi tions and cheap John concerns enjoy thf } empty glory that attaches to oflh'ial organ grinding. An honest newspaper onn bo an olllciat organ with out prostituting its columns to the de fense of boodlcrs , corrupt combines , de faulters and tax eaters. Our cii- torprising and constantly scooped contemporary , the IVorld7eniW , is , however , conducted on differ ent principles , or rather no princi ples. "Whatever is done by city and county oflicinls is always right , nnd who ever exposes nny erookod ness or rascal ity is treated as the common enemy. Our ollleial organ snoozes every time Mayor dishing takes snutT , and goes into a spasm every time Major Wheeler has the cholera morlntH. Not a word about the star-ohambcr combine and the jobs set up by "Wo , Ud & Co. On the contrary every scheme hatched by the combine and every attempt made to foist additional sinecures upon the city pay roll is warmly endorsed. The same demoralizing subserviency is exhibited in dealing with county affairs. Every democratic olllcinl in the county court house is immaculate. "When at tention was called liy Tun BICIS the other day lo the fact that several county otllccrs had failed to pay over their sur plus of fees at the end of last year , the ollicial organ nt once How to the rescue , and called THIS BEB a toothless old tiporU The commodious ass who was trying to prod TUB BKH on its ago did not know that our oflleinl organ existed and subsisted in Omaha under various names ten years" before THE BE u was over thought of , The fact that five thousand dollars was paid into the treasury by county officials within twenty-four hours aftcrTiiE BKE had called attention to the unpaid bal- nhcesistho mo.st affective rebuke to the unprinclplodorgnn grinder who imagines that ho is paid by the city and county to defend every man whoso numo happens to be on the ollicial pay-roll and hood ; wink the people about all the schemes and jobs concocted by contractors and boodlcrs. TK 1'llK CHAJiUKS , The charges made by Mr. C. K. Squires before the board of public works do in and prompt and searching investiga tion at the hands of the city council. Although revealed behind closed doors , they cannot and should not bo treated ns a confidential communication. The Barber asphalt company , for which Jlr. Squires is the local agent , is a contractor for pavinS.in this city. Un der its contract the company is obit gated to use only such materials ns are designated in the specifications , Ac cording to Mr. Squires a party whoso naino has not been divulged , and who claims to have a controlling in fluence over certain city of ficials , has made a proposal , to got nn asphalt pavement of inferior qua ! Ity laid and proposed to have it accepted providing sixty thousand dollars was divided between the company nnd hood- ling oOlcInla through himself. In other words , the proposition made to Mr , Squires was nothing moro nor loss than a scheme to rob the taxpayers by laying an inferior pavement and to dlvldo the difference between the value of a first class pavement and an inferior pave ment between the company and the parties who were to cover up tills pro posed swindle. The duty of thooouncil in the promises is very clour. The charges made by Mr. Squires should lie sifted to the bottom. If any city otllchd hus en I ered Into a conspiracy to defraud the city , or has agreed with outsider to-assi&t any & pav ing contr 'l ctors in foisting inferior ma terial or worlc upon the city ho should bo dlmnlsst'il from thu service and prose cuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I left the republican party to get rid of Ijossism , nnd turned my eyes toward the great farmers' movement , recognizingtu it an opportunity to uulto all reform elements in common cause npainst the common ciiemj' , liut in the convention Just closed , results , expediency and common sense \vcro ignored , in tho'nin bilious effort to set lip a now p.irty , initler the absolute dictation of one political lioss , who enforces liis cznr-llko oilicts by menus of the password nnd ritual , while li is co-oper.itivo mcrcniitllo gimp catches the Bel- lainitont every turn nntl "thrives mid fattens on the blood of the slain , " In the convention Just closed the issue was ono of leadership by menus ol.tho ritual vs unity , consolidation and success , The ritual won , the nllinucowas turned into a political machine , with tlio co-operative merchant prince as high priest of the agri cultural sanhedrim.
