Tim question of pnrntnount Importance bc'fmv tin1 lojjMnturij Is railroad rcgiiln * lion. Thodi iiinml of the people eniplmt- Icnlly expressed in the conventions of nil ) pin-tics was for u maximum rate law. This was chluily due to the failure of tlu > rnllrond commission to oxerclso tlio | > ewer conferred upon It by previous leg- IsluturoH niul ulllrini'il hy. the supreme court. A clear majority otbotli hwisoa was ploHod on that issue , timl uro In ilutj bounil to give tangible expression to the popular will. The framing of n iimxlmutn rate Imv is a very complicated task , Ills not to bo expected Unit nur legislature can formtiltiln n faultless schedule of rates willmut abiifils to start from. They must necessarily adopt a maximum rate established in one of tbo adjacent states. 'I'ho prevail ins ; demand l.s for duplicat ing tin- Iowa schedules anil chisel lleatlon established by the Iowa railroad com mission. This would bo just nnd proper If the condition * o ( railway tralllc In Io\\n anil Nebraska were identical in every respect. ITnloss thcso condltloiiH nro virtually the winio tlioro Is danger thattho supreme court would doclnro tlio Iowa rale tint'i'itsonnblo for No- brnsltii nnd that would bo tniitnmount to nullifying the maximum law anil leav ing'the Male at the mercy of Iho roads. It is obvious tlintllio legislature must , If it desires to give the people reduced freight rates , oxorclso common scnao and endeavor to formulate a schedule that Iho courtscaiiiuit pronounce unrea sonable. The house has passed the New berry maximum rate hill. This measure limits chnrgos on the basis of the lowest of the three classes of rates in Iowa. It is a measure so palpably unreasonable that it must certainly Invite an executive veto. Kvoti if it escaped that d linger nnd became a law it contains provisions that would .surely nullify it nnd thin ilo- fent Its own omls. Section l > of tlm N'owberry bill is in part as follows : Whenever any railroad company or com- panics In this stalc , shall , In a proper action , show hy competent testimony that iho sched ule of rates proscribed by this act are unjust and unreasonable , sucli railroad or rulhuuls stiall bo exempt tlierofrom as hereinafter provided. Tlio further provision is that sunh cases shall be beard in the supreme court , and that if that tribunal declares the rate to be "unjust and unreason able" the stain board of transportation "shall permit such railroad to raise its rates to any sum in Iho discretion of tlio board , " provided that the rates shall not be higher tlinn the rates prevail ing on January 1 , 1S)1. ! ) ICow it does not require the son of a prophet to predict thut the railroad will appeal to the courts the enforcement of the Xow- berry bill on the ground that it is un fair , unreasonable and would virtually eonliso'ile the property. in Iowa there are throe classes of rates determined by tbo amount of tralTle done , and designed to discriminate in favor of tlio ro.ids having the smallest volume- business. The Nowberry bill chooses the lowest of these three classes and makes no discrimination whatever between prosperous ro.uls and those doing a losing business , l urtliormoro , it falls to take any aceounl of the differ ence boUvcen the whole tralllo in No briiHka iind Iowa , of population of of the degree of settlement. What would bo tbo olTnct of this bill if an appeal was taken to thocourts ? There sire ninety-nine chances to ono that the court would sustain tlio appeal ami ro- mnnd the wliele qucsti oirto the tender morcioH of the state board of transporta tion. That would simply leave the rate schedules to the unrestrained will of the railroad managers. Tbo Xewberry bill contains another fatal provision. In the latter part ol section (1 ( it says : Provided , ttiat no r.illroad company shall bo allowed to brine an action under the pro visions of this section for the period of six months after this act takes effect. This proviso would render the law unconstitutional , if tlio railroads are injured by the terms of the act no legis lative mandate can h.if them from puk ing justice in the courts. Tlio right to appeal tothe courts for redress cannot bo abridged aurainsl corporations nny more than it ran against individual * . Tlio legislature has no power to suspend this privilege for six months , nor for six minutes. It is perfectly plain that the law pro posed in the Nowberry bill can never Hive : the people relief from unfair rail road rates. It is calculated to speedily nullify itself , and for that ronsou it lias the support , of some notorious railroad workers and passes Hie house by a largo majority. The Hlevonb maximum rate bill , now before thu senate , chinos much nearer realizing tlio bopo of reform. It lixes 'maximum rates at an average of about 10 per cent higher than tlif prevailing Iowa rates , wbiuh is it just recognition of the dlfforonco in trallic , and , there fore , in the cost , of carrying it in Xo braska. It makes no provision for an appeal to the supreme court and iinal i\v- bilrationat tiio hands of thu board o ; transportation , which hasrogiilarly dis. appointed the people by its refusal to iidminibler juslieo. It proceeds on the correct principle that the legislature should itself determine what ma.ximun : rates are just and reasonable , and thoi leave them as the settled policy of the state for the next two years. Itibonl.v by the enactment of Htich n specific ani reasonable- measure that the people car hone to enjoy lower rates and place them beyond the reneh of sharp ratlroat attorneys. The demand of the hour is for ruilroad roL'iilatlon that will regulate , not for regulation that will merely unsettle the business of the state and manufacture material for niplring iloimi < ; oguoH to ox- exploit in future political campaigns. TIIK rniKXDs or TIIK mir.xm.vss. Among the smaller sit .o . institution is the Homo forthorVionulossnt Lincoln There Is nothing' small , however , ubou its request for improvements and its suggestions of future state npproprin tions. It desires , in the first place to bo moved to "a larger trnel of ground , " It wants Uro ox tingulsliing apparatus and an enlarged larged water supply , It wants a so pa rate liotno for nged women , whom the younger generation of the f Homllem are crowding to the wall , It wants "n com- modlmis school room with modern Inf iroveinotits' ' nnd further extensions of , s greenhouse. It wants a I'ombination clioul house , chapel and dormitory with play room in the basement. It want * new boiler nnd boiler house and larger nproprlations for rumilt'g ' expenses. Although these manifold wants m ny trll < o the average taxpayer as a trille tenvy font small institution In a reform our , the indications are that the legis- nlure will supply thorn. This will not 10 because they are needed , however , mt because the managers liaveshrowdly akon the legislature out to thu homo In ectlons nnd treated It to sumptu ous banquets They have appealed leitlmr to tholr licadB nor hearts , but i redly to tholr stomachs. The legislature should not too hastily grunt the demands of the Home for the 'r lend less , it ought in common do- cncy to require a nropcr report for the > ast two years before it considers any of lie suggested improvement ; * . The re- ) ort of the scc'-otnry ' of the institution s the poorest apology' for uti olllcinl tntomont that'has boon furnished the tuhllo this year. It makes no pretense it furnishing a complete net-omit of the inancinl operations of the home for the list two years. Deyoml stating that hn "last legislature appropriated just -7J cents " and that - pur day per capita , , here is a dollcloncy ; that "help are paid rom SIB to $ .10 ; " that "the average noiithly payroll of the holpjrn is over lOO , " and that three olllcors receive 75 , $ , " > 0 and $ . ' ! " ) par month , respectively , t furnishes no clue to the manner in vhich the 820,000 appropriated by the list legislature has been expended. It s a slipshod document , from beginning o end. In view of tlio inadequacy of this ofli- cial showing and of the further fact that lliero is evidence of a good-ni/.ed steal in thu proposition to remove the home to 'a larger tract of ground , " the logisln- tire should bo very cautious in answer- ng the prayers of tlio friends of the riomlloss. tin : rosT.tii STH The bill providing for luitionul subsidy .o American stoiimHhips carrying the nulls , which was substituted for the general tonnage subsidy measure \vbich bad been pr < > ] iii ! > iul , has xscd botli houses of congress , anil being practically mi administration measure will undoubtedly ho promptly approved L > y the president. It is not to bo doubted that it will also receive the approval of tlio country when its character is in telligently understood. It provides for liberal but not extravagant payment by the government for an ollicioiit. and ex peditious steamship mail service to such ports in foreign countries , Canada ex- copied , ns will best , promote tne pos tal and commercial intercourse of tlio United .States. It proposes to encour age the construction of American steam ship lines by nuthori/.iiig the postmaster general to enter into contracts for a term of years with citizens , of this coun try to transport tlio mails to foreran ports , upon conditions tlntl will fairly compensate them for the service , help to enlarge the trade of the country , con tribute to homo industries , and make no unjust exactions upon tne public troiis ury. Tlio vessels to bo cm ployed in tills service must be constructed and owned in this country , and aUo olllcorcd and partly manned by American cili/.ens. They must in ail respects bo thoroughly modern , and &o constructed n.sto ha read ily convertible into auxiliary naval cruisers , so that if an exigency should arise they could bo at oneo made avail able for use by the government. They must bo built upon plans and specifica tions furnished by the secretary of the navy and bo approved hy that official before the postmaster general can con tract for their employment in the mail service. The proposed compensation for carry ing tlio mails , assuming that in all cases the postmaster genurnl would have to pny the maximum figures allowed by tbo act , and for n considerable part of the service it would bo in the nature of a bounty , but fair or oven generous pay ment for a legitimate service of this Uiiul to the government , the limitations of which would ho easily defined and the animal cost uninUtnkably determined , is a very different nnttor from that of pay ing tonnage subsidies nml giving unre stricted opportunities to all classes of vessel owners to make accounts against the public treasury. There are valid reasons for desiring that the mails shall bo carried in American vessels , nnd the people will not object to a reasonably liberal compensation for securing this , oven though it in part partakes of the nature of a bounty. If this act shall re sult In establishing stcamt-htp lines to the various South American ports , as it is oxpected'to do. there is every reason tobeliovo that the benefits will amply vindicate ibo wisdom of tlio legislation. And besides there will bo furnished by private capital an auxiliary force to the navy which may prove to bo of great value should nil emergency arise re quiring its use , while it will afford an excellent school for the instruction of American citizens in seamanship. The popular hostility to subsidies cannot fairly be invoked against this measure. .STOCK IN'l'HIillSTS. ' Of the many progressive institutions reared by Omiilin enterprise , none sur passes the marvelous strides of the stock market and packing indiiHtries. Despite countless obstacles that would dismay loss aggressive concerns.thoy arc steadily expanding and drawing sustenance from cast and wost. A significant feature of tlio market's widoniiiL' iiitluence is furnished by statistics of shipments from Iowa.

TO HM.tHVK nn : NiwiiKMU cornr. I'Yir ' more than aquartor of a century the question of providing relief for the supreme court of tbo United States bus from time to tlmo engaged the attention1 of congress. N'utncrous measures for the purpose Irivo boon Introduced , and con gress has received a mass of suggestions from bar associations and from other sources , but so many wore the diflloul- tics in Iho way of a constitutional and practicable plan that not until now hm one been agreed on that promises to pro duce the desired result. The measure to establish clrcuitcourts of appeals , and to doline and regulate in certain o'\sos the jurisdiction of tlio courts of the United State. ! , which is expected to go to the president ut once , will constitute a departure in the judicial system of tlio country of the highest Importance. As will bo seen by reference to tl.o text of the bill ei-ewhero ! printed , it pro vides for an additional circuit judge in each of the existing nine circuits , and creates In each circuit a court of appeals to consist of three judges , defining the functioiH of such court. The judges sitting in a circuit court of appeals shall be the members of the supreme court as signed to .such circuit and the circuit judges , but in case of the abionee of any of these one or more district judges within the circuit shall bo competent to sit in the court. It is provided , however - over , that no justice or judge before whom a cause or question may have been tried or beard in a district court or ex isting circuit court shall sit on the trial or hearing of such cause or question in the circuit coit rt of appeals. Tlio bill deprives existing circuit courts of appellate jurisdiction and pro vides that all appeals , whether by writ of error or otherwise , from district courts and existing circuit courts , .shall Do subject to review only in the supreme court of the United .States and in the circuit colirt of appeals. "The cisos : in which appeals or wi'its ' of error may betaken taken from the district anil existing cir cuit courts are : Any case in which the jurisdiction of the court is in issue ; from the final sentences and decrees in prize causes ; in cases of conviction of a capital or otherwise infamous crime ; in nuy ciihu that involves the construction or appli cation of the constitution ; in any cabo where the constitutionality of a federal law or the construction of a treaty is in question ; nnd in any case in which the constitution or law of n s.tate . is claimed to bo in contravention of the constitution of tlio United States. In all cases other than these , unless otherwise provided by law , tbo circuit courts of appeals bhall exercise appellate jurisdiction to review by appeal or by writ of error Jlnal decision In the district and exist ing circuit courts , and the judgments or doerooiof the circuit courts of appeals shall be final in all mutters within their appellate jurisdiction , except that in any ctit-oinmlo final in these courts the supreme court may require it to be cer tified to that tribunal for its loviow and determination. Cases not made Iinal may he taken to the Biiproujo court where the matter in controversy shall exceed 81,000 besides costs. The bill proscribes the duties of mar.iluils and the lime for appeal. It will bo seen tint this measure pro vides for affording very great relief to the supreme court without in the least degree. Impairing its authority , and the urgent importance of such relief , hi the interests of justice , will bo under stood when it is stated that the court is now more than three years behind its work , while the business is gradually piling more and more upon it. It would ho almost impossible for the supreme court over to clear its docket without the relief which tb.is legislation will alTord. OKDlN'Aim.v the thanks and compli ments extended to retiring presiding of /leers / by legislative bodies are little more than perfunctory courlosioa , but it is only j'ist to say that in the case of Senator Ingn\ls \ , who yesterday retired from the position of president pro torn- pore of the UfiUod States senate , nil that was said in the resolutionolTorudhy Senator ( iormUn and unanimously adopted was ' 'entirely merited. The Kansas senator , has boon many times se vere in his treatment of his political op ponents on the , ( loot * of tbo senate , but while occupying the chair he has boon uniformly courteous and impartial , nnd it is not to bcidoubled that tbo praise justly iieoordcd-hlin was sincerely given by both democrats and republicans. In the list distinguished men who have presided o\or tlio senate Mr. Ingalls stands high for those qualities which make a just , dignified and capable pre siding ollicor. Tan investigation of the legislature into tho. workings of prohibition m Kan sas gives ollicial force tofacts id ready well known , Heretofore ulliclals high and lo'v denied the existence of the saloon and sanctioned assertions notoriously false. The legislature , however , unmask - mask * tbo pretence nnd shows by the testimony ol radical advocates of prohi bition that saloons uro licensed in nearly every city In Iho state , and that the po lice commission system "has been pro ductive of till kinds of bribery and hush money schemes. " This Is the oxpori eneo of Iown on a larger Hcalo.

Nor should the throats of the malingers deter the legislature from Us policy of curtailing expenses. These olToiisive lobbyists should bo given to understand that for expenditures In OXIVM ) of appropriations they will bo hold personally responsible. TIIK proposition to pension teachers after thirty yours of continuous service suggests n feasible plan for retiring the veterans of the rule in Omaha without rupturing the harmony of the school board.
