Some of the republican senators who liavo boon most pronouncctlln opposllion to nny change in the rules of the senate intended lo put a limit to debate have experienced a change of mind. Mr. Kd- nunds , who has boon thoHtrongost slick er for abaolulo freedom of discussion , istonlshod the senate last Monday by in- .reducing . nn order providing that dur- ng llio discussion of nny Item in the tariff bill or amendment thereto 10 senator should speak more than Ivo minute.1) ) on the ono Horn without the consent of Uio somite. On the same day Senator Sherman referred , o the Blow progress that was being nndo with the tsirllT bill , and suld that while ho did not wish to sco any change n the rules of the senate if it could bo ivolded there must bo some way ( omul , o pot along with business. Senators liavo become irritable from the depress- ng cirects of llio hot weather , which , ias seriously imp-.ilred the physical enor- jios of most of them , and under such circumstances nothing "could bo moro tedious and annoying than prolonged list'Ujslon , the greater portion of which .s lo no purpose. Hut the comfort and convenience of nembijrs of congress is : L mutter with which the public will have litllo con- iorn. It Is only interested in the ques tion whether the delay in legislation is lutriment.'il to the public interests , if nil it is not to bo doubled that it is. The uncertainty regarding what will finally bo done with the tariff , or whether a bill will bo passed at the present session , keeps numerous busl- less interests in an unsettled condition , the effect being damaging to both capital and labor. Besides , import ers , anticipating higher duties , have 'or weeks been importing very heavily , ind although this may ultimately bo to the benefit of eons'imers ' , it is now and may continue for sonic time to ho to the disadvantage of those who nro employed lieruin similar industries. But there is one specific instance ol injury to public Interests resulting from the delay of legislation. In a communication lo the secretary of the Interior Indian Com missioner Morgan calls attention to the embarrassment his olllco is experiencing in consequence of the delay in passing the Indian appropriation bill. This measure should have been disposed of before the beginning of the current fis cal year , and because it was not the In dian bureau has found great ilifllinilty , notwithstanding tlio extension of the appropriations of last year , in relieving the immediate wants of the Indians , while there is danger that supplies for winter yet to be contracted for cannot be delivered at remote points before the rigors - ors of winter set in. Meantime the ; overnment is purchasing provisions in thu open market < it necessarily higher prices than It would otherwise ) liavo to pay , the Indian commissioner slating- Hint on one transaction ho was compelled lo pay ono hundred and twenty thousand dollars more than would have been necessarjit tlio npproprlution bill had been pat-sod when it should have been. It is still pending , while everything to bo purchased - chased under it is advancing in prioo. Doubtless other examples of the cost of congressional delay could bo discov ered , hut specific instances are not necebsary to ostiiblish the fact that the unnecessary delay of legislation Is detrimental to the public inter ests , mid the extent oftho det riment can not bo accurately measured In dollars nnd cents. The present con gress promised to bo a thoroughly prac tical body , and the house has done fairly well in this respect , the principal fault for delay being with the semite , and for this the democrats of that body are re sponsible. If the minority insist upon adhering to the tactics thus far pursued It will nmnifostly.becoino the duty of the majority to find some way , in the lan guage of Senator Sherman , to get along with business. OIIUG.ITIOXS Ol' CO.V.UO.V The Now York JYniH finds in thostriko on the Now York Central and Hudson Kiver railroads a text for some timely observations regarding the obligations of common carriers. It remarks that the oflicers of railroad companies "are too much disposed to treat the business under their control as if it wore a purely private matter with which they can do as they will , " losing sight of the im portant relation of , the business not simply to public accommo dation , but to public rights and public authority. Common carrying being a public function , subject to control and regulation by law , and deriving - riving Us privileges from public au thority , it owes to the public correspond ing obligations. This hoing the fact , the officers of a railroad corporation , siiys the Tines , are bound , la dealing with the employment of labor , as in dealing with other provis ions for the conduct of thulr business , to consider their legal obligates. They have no right to stop or to in terrupt their business , as if it concerned the corporation alone. They are bound to carry it on in a regular and adequate manner for the accommodation of the public , and that obligation should bo considered in dealing with any labor trouble that may arise. And ttio Times submits these eminently sound proposi tions : "A common carrier is not at lib erty to refuse transportation to anybody simply because it sees lit to quarrel with , its workmen. It has no right to ia- dulge In a qunrroi that interrupts its- business unless the quarrel is forced upon it and is quite beyond Its power to settle. " Wo do not think any falr-mlndod man will question that this view of the obligations of common carriers is correct , and in the cnso of the Now York Central the quarrel with Its workmen was certainly not beyond Its power to settle. Several years ago this company had a lesson In Its legal obligations , when It engaged iu a contest with its freight handU'M , but it appears to have buon forgotten , or at any rata no attention was paid to it when the conflict now on was precipitated. This suggests that something more is needed to com pel railroad companies to regard their public obligations , and to remove the very common Idea among railroad man agers that the business tmdor their con trol is a private matter with which they maydons th y will , regardless of the consequences to the public. If state Jaws cannot effect this , and tboy have thus far failed , there must bo national legislation to reach this mat ter , nmdo so comprehensive and stringent that it cannot fall of its purpose. The interests at slake nro so vast and fat-reaching , and are in creasing so rapidly , that they cannot safely bo left nt the mercy of arrogant and obstinalo railroad olUcials or 1m- pulslvo and reckless workmen. The mat ter is a legitimate ) ono for control and regulation by national law , and there Is no reason why there should bo any delay In KO treating it. IT is said that Senator Paddock do- slres to obtain statistics of the deposits of Nebraska farmers in the hanks of this stale , lo bo used in refuting the often repeated statement that the farmers of Nebraska are ptiunors and that agricul ture in the stale IIH : proven n failure. Doubtless bank olllclals would bo very willing to supply this information if asked to do so , in all cases at least where it in practicable to separata the farmer deposits from these of others , and wo have no doubt the sta tistics would effectually dispose of the idea , which has been dlsscminnled nnd fostered by men who know very little about the real condition of the agricul tural population of Nebraska , that our farmers arc In a hopeless state of bankruptcy ' and are drifting steadily from hid ; to worse. It Is unquestionably true that the protlucors of this state generally are , l > y roinon of the long- maintained discrimination and ex actions of tbo railroads , less pros perous than they otherwise would be , and undoubtedly some of them have experienced hardships and privation. Some of them have been forcedby usury and other causes to part with their farms , and there are indolent and thriftless men among thorn who have not profited by their opportunities. But osa whole the farmers of Nebraska can show an average degree of prosperity that will compare favorably with that of the agricultural producers of other west ern Hiatus. THE democrats of Mississippi have como together imdor the cloak of a con stitutional convention for the avowed purpose of providing an instrument which will dispense with the shotgun , back-action ballot boxes and other appli ances for party supremacy. Tlio former ucapon has lost caste owing to its pre cipitate haste in dispo-ing of obnoxious voters , while bogus ballot boxes and tis sue ballots lack the llnesso of modern . political methods which the situation demands. ( They have become back num bers in the backwoods , hence more ef fective means are necessary to pet-pot- unto bourbon rule. What form will bo adopted is not yet known. The most favored plan of negro vote suppression is to attach si property qualification to the franchise. All persons of legal ago will bo graciously permitted to vote , and an additional vote for every fifty acres of land owned. 13y this means the landed aristocracy will entrench them selves and the poor but proud , white and black , must dance to their political music. The Injustice of this suffrage scheme is so glaring that seine of the regulators shrink from incorporating it in the constitution. "Whatever plan the convention adopts becomes a law with out further action and as that body has but two representatives of the opposi tion , the country confidently looks for an organic model of southern repression. FAU3IUU EDCJKUTON of South Omaha , with his palmy bunions and wisps of fresh-plucked , hay , has made an alarm ing discovery , which he yielded up in confidence to his fellow-toilers in Plat ( a county. From the moment Farmer Kdgorton cast aside the musty tomes of legal lore and grasped the horny- handled plow to turn a wide fur row in the political world , a great secret gnawed at his vitals. The longed-for opportunity came at last , and when our distinguished suburban tiller gazed on the toil-llcckcd faces of "eigh teen thousand Plntto county farmers , " every fibre of h'irf hoing thrilled with joy and in melancholy cadences ho coughed up the secret , "Our liberty is lost. " The btartling words caused eighteen thou sand jaws to fall instanler , but it must bo said to the credit of the multitude that the horny-tongucd orator escaped without serious injury. The farmers of Platte county possess a rugged regard for truth , but when a stall-fed , well paid democratic olllcoholdcr guys thorn with ghastly political yarns , the tension on the patience is more than average humanity should calmly bear. iLi : 15. STONB , founder of the Chicago News , has abandoned the do- tectlvo Held , and evolved a now project which alms at nothing short of absorb ing the control of national affairs In the interest of a syndicate. Mr. Stone pro poses to establish a circuit of penny morning newspapers extending from I Now York to St. Louis , with himself jis mamgor-in-chlof , for the purpose of f booming Grovur Cleveland. Two mil lion dollars are Bald lo ho back of this political racing circuit , but the fact that Cleveland is expected to furnish the bulk of the provender gives the scheme a decidedly ulry appearance. Mr. Cleve land's ' contributions to benevolent schemes , even whoa his political and private interests are involved , have not been of a very lavish nature. If Mr. Stone succeeds in floating his syndicate picayune prints the Cleveland surplus will bear but little of the cost , PHOPKUTY owners who contemplate Investing in chenp pavements will learn something to their advantage by exam ining the job lot of decaying blocks on Sixteenth street , between Farnam and Howard. It is an avcrago sample of the acres of rotten cedar dumped on penny wise and pound foolish taxpayers. "WHY can't the business men of South Omaha prevail upon the council to es tablish a ilro limit ? Wooden Under boxes nro being sandwiched between and around substantial brick business blocks and the whole town will some day bo wiped out by a conflagration unless stops are taken to check the coiibtructlon of fire Imps Th Insurance companies nro discounting Jhp rial : by charylnff Ilvo per cent on the better cln's of build lngn and vcfusliifr to carry the most dungorous frames at nny price. ' TliH-0 was a tlmo when the establishment of flro limits in South Omaha would have barred the growth of the town , kit that tlmo Is gene by. On the contrary , u fire limit ordinance pro hibiting the erection of frame buildings on the principal business slrools would compel property owners to build a belter class of store houses. APPLICANTS for pensions under ro- ccnt laws should g-lvo the pension sharks nwldoborlh. It is a mistake to sup- pOM > IhiU they can ndvnnco a claim or secure its allowance out of ita regular order. The employment of ngents Is u dead loss ot Ion dollars. Every soldier , on application , can secure tlio necessary blanks from the pension ofllco , fill them out and forward them to the olllco. Each and every claim Is considered in the order of filing. Outside support amounts to nothing , and the money used for that purpose is thrown away. Needy veterans cn'n .secure their allowanceby ) direct application to the pension office. THIS petition asking for two addi tional voting places In the Seventh ward should receive recognition by the clly council. Petitions should bo started in other wards as well. There are not enough voting places fora city of 13o,000. "With the present inadequate accommo dations a full vote could not bo polled. Under our tedious registration system not more limn five hundred voters should bo nssiyned to any precinct. At that ratio wo oufrht to have not less than sixty-five polling places. Is IT not about tlmo for Fire Chief Galligan mid the building inspector to dcolm-0 ' the. tinder boxes that occupy the now postofilco site a nuisance and have thorn pulled down or moved away ? Thcso rookeries are not only unsightly , but positively dangerous. If Uncle Sam's custodian does not feel authorized to take steps to cause their removal the city authorities should have the rook eries pulled down and take the chances of a damage suit. TUB work of organization against mercenary assaults on the prosperity of Nebraska is progressing rapidly in Douglas county. Clubs have been formed in a majority of the wards and precincts , and numbers enrolled and the enthusiasm displayed shows that our citizens arc alive to the necessity of de fending their material interests. A moil ) jnforeeinent of the paving specifications , without fear or favor , is due to the property owners who foot the bills. Too much vigilance cannot be shown in protecting the city against scheming contractors. GK.YHIIAL.
