TUB nraw'o/trjowrnAT QUESTIO :
It 1ms boon given out with aufflalor
tlisllnctncfiH to Ictivo no doubt of the it
tent , thai the democrats will yiporousl
and poralntontly oppose anyreappodloi
incut bill proposed In the present cot
grcss. No mattoj- how fair and just
measure for thia purpose may be , tli
democrats will antagonize it. It is we
understood that not only with respect t
this but most other measures that wl
como Up It is Iho purpose of the doini
crnts to frustrate tlio republicans la a
efforts except those directed to the pai
sago of appropriation bills and measure
which cannot bo alleged to have a part
nan character , and at the same time the
will bo guided by a purpose to make a
extra session necessary , provided thl
purpose can bo marked nnd successful !
carried out by fixing the rcsponslbillt
for such an emergency on the repul
Mentis , ilniboldoncd by the rtsult of tli
late elections , notwithstanding the fn <
that generally they show no actual ii
crease in the democratic vote , but sin
ply that several hundred thousan
republicans did not vote , the democrat
in congiwt ro determined to proven
as far as they can , all legislation thr
can bo hold to have a partisan taint.
So tar as the house is concerned th
opposition may bo overcome. If the ri
publicans will maintain the presence <
a quorum , and this they ought to bo abl
to do for the brief time of the ecssioi
the democratic opposition and obslrui
lion may retard , but cannot defeat th
passage of measures desired by the. in :
joi-Ity. But tlio cnso Flll bo different 1
the senate , where the unchecked frci
dom of debate affords the minority n
opportunity to talk to death a nicasui
they do not want. A plan for the limi
ing ef debate in the senate will vet
likely bo proposed , but the chance
small of effecting a change in the ruli
for this purpose. The republicans ai
not unanimously in favor of it , and i
course the democrats will employ to tl
fullest extent all the privileges the
have under the existing rules for dela ;
Ing action. And If they should becon :
tired of using parliamentary tactics ft
dolny they could talk. The fact is tun
unless the majority is prepared to m
arbitrarily a change in the rules rcstric
ing debate cannot bo made BO long u
there is a considerable ininorltv oppose
toil.
It Is important that the new appo
tionmont bo made by the present coi
gross. It is a duty that properly b
longs to It and there is no valid roasc
why it should not perform It and tin
avoid any necessity for calling an exti
session of the Fifty-second congres
which the democrats appear to desir
There is no doubt that a bill will I
passed by the house , nnd it is undoi
stood that it will incrcaso the number <
i-oprcbcntntivcs and not the ratio of Vo ]
resontation , but the difficulty will bo 1
get it through Iho senate. With a sc
sion of only about ton weeks the pro ;
poet of getting through a nowappo
tionmont measure is not bright notwitl

A fiKGLECTED OI'l'OIiTUNlTr.
The Farmers' Alliance in the wo

usefulness if it limits its activities to tl
field of politics. In other sections of tl

There have boon and still are a grei
many trade organizations in the Unite
States which luivo conferred largo bon

done it by studying the best methods i
economizing time , money and labor 1

generally bringing tholr combined into

volvcd in their field of work. They ha\ \
realized to the highest degree the ai
vantages of co-operation and , though

In the south the lendingnowspape ;
are submitting to the alliance ovoi
question that arises in regard to no
methods of cultivation and the domam
of the market. This is a side of the n
lianco which interests every class i
business men. Nothing thatcontributi
to makosouthern agriculture prosporot
can fail to benefit the commercial , ral
road and real estate interests of tin
section.
Apparently this wide nnd hopeful fie !

tons of thousands of members.
' EMPLOYES.
The fifth annual report of the Unite
States commissioner of labor devotes
volume to the subject of railroad labo
Prom this it appears that not all the ral
road'corporatlons are oulloss. It is ni
generally the case that the corporatioi
maintain or assist bonollclal assoclatioi
formed among tholr employes , but mar
of them do interest themselves In th
way in the welfare of those whom the
employ. Some of them have ostnbllshe
or give assistance to reading rooms t
prominent points on tholr lines , and
considerable number of roads in son
form or another provide hospital accon
modations for tholr employes when ill <
injured. This Is done In some cases I
contributing1 to the maintenance of ot
or more free beds in hospitals at pror
inont points , mid in others by creating
hospital fund which Is aided from tli
treasury of the road nnd to which tl
employes contribute small monthly a
sossmonts. Some roads provide a rog
lor system of medical attendance for 01 :
ploycs. There ui-o a few companion ha
ing the generosity to mnko provision f <
these who have become superannuate
in tholr service , and yory generally tl
companies retain In their pay employi
who hnvo boon permanently disabled i
tholr service. A. largo number of roai
provide some system of technical educ ;
tion for mon in tholr shoos nnd son
.maintain schoold for the children of ci
ployes.
All this Is gratifying evidence that tl
railroad corporations nro notuniversal
without generosity and a reasonable r
gnrd for the welfare of the people In the
service , and it Is proper that the
have full credit for it But what
qulto us Important as any of the pr
rhions liotcd , anil perhaps a great deal
inorc so , for Iho welfare of employes Is
to provide the most approved appliances
for their protection against Injury.
Many of the roads do this , but there is a
very largo number thntdonot , and silch
companies should reform tholr policy in
this respect before adopting nny other
plans for the benefit of employe ? . This
suggestion can bo given a local applica
tion , nnd it will bo ono of the duties of
the nest Nebraska legislature toprovlde
that railway companies operating lines
within this state shall bo required to
mnko the amplest possible provision for
protecting tholr employes npainst injury
in tholr service.
A'OT ALL OOLD THAT
In a letter , which appears elsewhere ,
Mr. Francis I. McKcimn endeavors to
contradict the comment made by THE
JlUE some days ago concerning1 tlio col
lapsed boom of the country on the other
sldo of the Rockies.
Tiir Buii has no disposition to misrep
resent any section of the country and it
cheerfully gives place to the counter-
sttitemcnt. But Mr , McKenna over
shoots the mark In his highly-colored
eulogy of the Eldorado on the coast.
Ho starts out with the assertion that
four thousand mon could got employ
ment at two dollars a day at Portland ,
Ore. , within a week after landing there.
In view of the fact that largo numbers
of worklngmon who have migrated to
the Orcgonian land of promise have
very recently been compelled to turn
tholr backs on the golden shore for want
of work , Mr. McKonna's assertions must
bo taken with a grain of allowance. At
nny rate , TIIK BEB would not advise
four thousand , or oven four hundred ,
mon to leave Nebraska for Portland un
less they had abundant monns to spend
a few months of leisure , like Mlcawbor ,
waiting for something to turn up.
TUB man SCHOOL DEC/SJOJV.
The decision of the state supreme
court regarding tlio high school grounds
demolishes the pretensions of both sides
to the controversy. The question raised
by the council was not inspired by an
honest desire to aid the cause of educa
tion. It was sprung to coerce the school
board and dictate what manner of a
building should bo erected on the
grounds to relieve the overcrowded con
dition of then school. These who egged
on the council sought to force the erec
tion of a permanent annex to
the building , regardless of the
financial condition of the school treas
ury , and in direct opposition to the re
peatedly expressed -will of the taxpayers.
\Vhon the board sought to erect a tem
porary structure for tho. accommodation
of the children , the patrons of the pri
mary grades denounced it as a scheme
to despoil the grounds. They did not
want the primary grades removed from
the main building , but sought to main
tain the crowded condition of the school
as a means of securing from the taxpay
ers , eoonor or later , authority to erect u
mammoth annex.
Tlio ruling of the supreme court set
tles two important points , namely : That
cnpltol square cannot bo used for otl\er \
than high school purposes , and that
jurisdiction over the premises is vested
in the board of education. The primary
grades must therefore seek other quar
ters and the supporters of that exclusive
sot must swallow a bitter pill in return
for tholr opposition to the plans of the
school board.
VOSTAL s.inxas HANKS.
Postmaster General "Wannmaker ap
pears to bo sincerely ambitious to make
his term in oflico memorable by giving
the people now and permanent bonofits.
Among the various- progressive reforms
ho has suggested , perhaps none Is more
capable of doing great good than the os-
tablishmontof postal savings banks.
Mr. Wananuiker's plan is to have
savings banks instituted in connection
with postofflcos wherever they are called
for by popular petitions. Ho states that
ho will take cave not to bring them into
competition with savings banks that al
ready exist , or with building loan asso
ciations. Ho believes a sum that would
aggregate a vast total is secreted in all
sorts of out-of-the-way places by a class
of people who are afraid of banking in
stitutions , nnd that his proposition
would bo the moans of bringing it Intc
circulation , with advantage to the busi
ness public.
The gijoat benefit which may bo ex
pected from the successful establishment
of postal savings banks , however , will
bo its effects on the habits of the pee
pie. If these institutions can bo made
popular wo shall see the beginning of n
now era of thrift nmonj : the classes
which stand most in need of it. "Whon
n savings bank can be found nt every
little postofflco , people who have not
formerly been in the habit of Bystetnati
cally accumulating , money will begin tc
do so. There will bo 'a revival of the
good old-fashioned custom of saving in
stead of spending the surplus income
nnd the fact that the surplus Is smal
will not deter p eoplo from laying it b
whore it will grow. It is the prevalence
lenco and popularity of savings banks
which has mndo the wage-workers o :
Now England the thriftiest class o :
working people in the world. It if
the lack of such facilities , nlmostns mucl :
as the lack of proper teachings , whlcl :
has led the people in other sections o
the country away from habits , of frugality
nnd thrift. It is not necessary to enlarge
on the inestimable advantage of genera ]
thrift among the people to demonstrate
the great possibilities of good which maj
follow tlio establishment of postal savings -
ings banks and the consequent revival o
the soundest household maxims among
the young mon and women of the
country.
If , In addition to the introduction ol
business methods In the service and the
inauguration of a &ystoin of postal telegraphy
raphy , John Wanamaker gives the pco-
plo popular savings banks , ho will have
done his part to make President Har-
rlbon's administration "great in tho"ar-
duous greatness of things done1
THK jugglery and jobbery in awardIng -
Ing the contract for the plumbing und
etenin heating of the eitj- hall Is ono ol
the most scandalous acts of the combine.
Not only was the lowest responsible
bidder deprived of the work , but accord'
ing to Mr. John Rowe Contractor CooU
was bulldozed by Davis and had the
work given to the notorious jobber of tl\c
city Jail. AlWffinrra being cqiial Omahn
firms were ctratlcd to the vrorlc , to the
cost of vrlilahJmoy contribute n shnro In
taxes. But the Onmha plumbers , with
ono exception" ! have not acquired the
faculty of soothing an Itching palm , con
sequently the work was divided , iiiul
the better l ilf of It awarded to r
Chicago firm. The treachery displayed
In this InstnHeo is an Insult to every
business nnd tyoVklnRinnn In the city. It
Is nn infamous betrayal of homo in
dustry , nnoutrngo on honest competition
and a dollboVnto robbery of Omahti
worklngmon for the beneflt of Chicago ,
DUNVEU offers a reward of ono thousand -
sand dollars for the capture of a public
official who AVHB "faithful , painstaking
nnd honest. " This grndd of officials is
so scarce in Denver that the city can
wall afford to pay n liberal reward foi
the recovery of the missing chairman ol
the board of public works.
IT Is a significant fact that the
plumber to whom Davis awarded thai
BOVOII hundred-dollar jail job and the
plumber for the city hall by the grace o :
Davis and Wheeler are identical
Doubtless the city hall job and the jail
job will boor a similar striking ro >
semblance.

The flrst cfTcct of the succession to th

cess Wllliclralnn , whllo she can ascend th
throne at the expiration of the regency , can
not under the Snllo law take the Luxomburi
title. The Duke of Js'assau has already beci
proclaimed grand duke , ami the nominal con
nectlon of the province with the Xothcrlaud
ceases. This succession , which lias been tu
subject of alarming foiccasts for many years
offers no Immediate nienaco to the pence o
Europe. The proposed purchase of Luxetn
burg by Franco was a firebrand thrown int
tuo European courts , but the time has passci
when serious disturbance cnn bo caused b ;
the fate of the border province. German in
finances prevail In Luxcmburgand Its absorb
tion by the empire Is only a question o
time. Of greater importance than the separation
ration of the duchy from the crown of tne
Netherlands is the strengthening of Gor

There is only ono life that of a child , tin

The land purchase bill which the Brltlsl

fromloO,000OOOto lB5,000,000 , to bo crcatci
by a special land stock nnd guaranteed bj
Imperial credit , which Is to bo expended in
thosalo nnd transfer of land from landlord ti
tenant , the process to bo voluntary iu name
nnd seemingly dependent upon mutual con
tract , The landlord who shall soil is to re
colvo the priuo of his land from the state it
land stock , bearing interest at 2Jf per cent
at > d the tenant who shall buy is to obtain i
grant of his holding with n perfect title , nni
with the prospect of acquiring the fee simph
within a period of less than fifty years
It has been calculated , however , thn
the sum available for the transfer eland
land would hardly buy a sixth pn rt o
the soil ; and it would take a century and i
half tit mnko a complete transfer of all the cs
tntcs hi Ireland. The tenants \\lio shouh
acquire holdings under the bill would , o
course , become owners on terms unusual ! }
easy and light ; but thU class would bo smal
in number compared with the Immense masa
who would bo loft out In the cold. Within t
period of from ton to twelve years the trails

largo a scale that all the funds available foi
