Governor Doyd's vote of the Nowborry
maximum froljjht bill Is fully justified
by the outspoken mossnpo which the
executive has addrcswi to the letflsla-
Uiro. The constitution empowers the
Iptflslaturo to pass laws to correct abuses
nnd tirovont unjust discrimination utid
extortion In nit ohurgoa of railroad com
panies , and Incidentally , from tlmo to
tlmo , to pass laws establishing reason-
nblo maximum rules or charges for the
trnns | > ortatlon of passengers nnd freight
on the dllToronl railroads In this state.
Tlio-oxpllclt Inngungo of the constitu
tion Is that the charges established by
law must bo ronsounblo.
Governor 13oyd's refusal to approve
the Nowborry bill is chiefly based upon
the fact that It proposed to establish the
lownst trunk line Town , rate upon every
railroad In Nebraska , regardless of the
volume of trafllo or locution and expense
of maintaining and onoratlng the atyno.
The most ardent mlvocatos of the bill
have been forced to admit'that the radi
cal cut In rates which this bill con
templates would uo unreasonable If ap
plied to every road indiscriminately.
Hut they Insisted tlmt the maximum
rate experiment should bo given a six-
months' trial , and If It was onerous and
Impracticable the courts could redress
the wrong by setting the bill aside.
Such legislation on Its face cannot fall
tn 1m vinfnnoIt
- It r > Lili1tsbnH n dnnffur *
ous precedent. The object of lawmak-
Iny Is justice and equity as near as it
can bo formulated by human agency.
Why should the legislature enact laws
that would inevitably bo sot aside , and
what advantage would the people derive
from such dead letter legislation ? it
was the manifest duly of tbo legislature
before formulating * a maximum rnto bill
to ascertain the ratio of tralllo In Ne
braska and Iowa antl the cost of operating -
orating- roads in tbo two states.
Hut they bought a pig in a poke.
It is an open secret that not live men in
the legislature uro familiar with the
provisions of the bill and the relative
rate schedules of Iowa and Nebraska.
The fact that the railroads have ex
acted excessive and oppressive charges
from our producers does neb justify the
legislature In enacting1 laws that would'
cut dpwn their earnings bclowtho actual
cost of mainlalniii1 ; and operating the
roads.
Governor Boyd's estimate that the
railroads In this fttato cannot bo dupli
cated with their equipments for loss
than 825,000 a mile is very moderate. It
is also indisputable that the volume of
tralllc in Iowa ia fully thvoo times as
largo as in Nebraska. No schedule of
rates that fails to tnko this fact into con-
nidnratlon will stand the test of the
Courts when its reasonableness
is elml-
longcct.
A courageous and conscientious execu
tive should not allow himself to bo
awnyofl by popular clamor or influenced
by political expediency when measures
of such grave moment to the state are
presented for his approval. Ills duty is
to Interpose the vote whenever in his
judgment the public welfare would bo
jeopardized or a great wrong-committed.
Apart from tbo constitutional de
fects which Governor Boyd has pointed
out , the vote is fully justified
on the grounds which ho clearly
sets forth in his message. While
TUB BKI : does not fully concur In his
views as regards the increase of through
rates in case the local rates nro materi
ally reduced , wo believe that his action
will moot with the approval of all classes
of citizens who luivo given the question
of railroad regulation serious considera
tion.
In a nut-shell , the legislature has
overshot the mark when It fixed a rate
for Nebraska railroads on the Iowa
standard regardless of the difference in
conditions between the tralllc of the two
states. Had they passed the Stevens
bill , or a bill that made a 0 or 23 per
cent rcuuotion on the existing rates for
the staple commodities , tfio governor
could have found no reasonable ground
for a veto , and oven if ho had vetoed
such a bill its passage over the vote
could not have boon prevented.

It is stated that the apparent inability
of the United States to actually extend
to foreigners the protection which is
guaranteed in the treaty , in case an out
rage is committed for which a state is
responsible , has led to considerable talk
in diplomatic circles. Foreign opinion
appears to regard it as being a serious
defect of our political systo'in , that in an
alTalr like that at Now Orleans the
national government hasno jurisdiction.
Several English papers have declared
that the position of our government In
the issue with Italy hag revealed a weak
place in the American constitution , and
one of the most prominent Gorman
newspapers justifies Italy in not wishing
to disemss American institutions
and it )
culling attention to the principles of in
ternational law. It seems that there tire
American citizens also , who think that
the right of the government to nego
tiate treaties carries with it the power
to carry out treaty
stipulations , oven if
bv so dolnir it nnnoars to' ' ovoi-rldn slain
authority , and it is suggested that con
gress should designate by law Uow the
federal government shall act in a diIll-
cully llko the present one.
The question of the power of the na
tional government lo carry out its treaty
obligations Is certainly of the gravest
importance. Wo cannot
reasonably expect -
poct foreign nations to fulfill their obli
gations to protect American citizens
resident in tJiom if our government is
unable to protect hero the citizens of
such nations. It would seem to bo en
tirely .obvious that in this matter there
should bo absolute
reciprocity , that wo
should bo prepared to
give in full
measure all that wo ask. This appar
ently our government cannot do. High
authorities on constitutional law have
taken ground which would sanction the
idea tlmt the
treaty-making power is
practically omnipotent , but the weight
of opinion has Veen that no treaty could
alter the relations of the gongrnl gov
ernment to the "state , and this principle ,
fully recognized ut tills tlmo by the ad
ministration , has bocoino firmly estab
lished in the practice of the govern
ment. In the mutter of execut
ing their own laws , with respect
to all persons within their ju
risdiction , not specifically r611ovol ( by in
ternational law from the application if
local laws , tlio sovereignty of the stale B
is hold to bo complete. The constitution
provides that "all treaties made , or
which shall bo intulo , under the author
ity of the United States , shall bo the
supreme law of the land , " but tnls Is

In giving- any assurance to the
Italian government that the per

gation , In order to ascertain whether
any of the persona killed wore Italian
subjects and thus determine whether
there is a just claim for indemnity , and
this l.s doubtless as far as the govern
ment will go In the matter , oven in the
event of the authorities of Louisiana

the killing- .
The unfortunate affair atNowOrleans
was without precedent in our history ,
and the question it has raised regarding :
the value of our treaty obligations , so
far as they relate to the subjects of for
eign countries domiciled here , is ono
that wo cannot afford to Ignore. The oc-

How shall this government inoro
amply assure otlior nations that
their subjects will bo protected here and
thereby establish an unquestionable )
right to demand protection for its own
citizens within the jurisdiction of oilier
governments ? What Is necessary to bo
done in order that treaties shall bo in
their farthest application , whnt the na
tional constitution declares them to bo ,
the supreme law of the land ? These
qucstionn call for serious consideration
in the interest of international justice
and peace. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
RAIT , ir.l I' DlltKOTOKS
It was noted a few weeks ago that the
corouor in Now York city who invest
igated the tunnel disaster by which half
a dozen persons lost their lives , caused
warrants to bo Issued holdincr to the
grand jury the directors of the Now
York , No w Ha von & Hartford railroad
company. It was thought at the time
that this most unusual course on the
part of the coroner would end In his dis
comfiture , that no grand jury in Now
York city would find Indictments against
Chnuncoy Dopow , William Rockefeller ,
and several others of hardlv leas nodal
nnd business prominence. Those gen
tlemen looked upon the proceeding us a
farce or an outrage , according to their
temperament , and gave the required
ball with the evident fooling that that
would bo the end of the matter.
But it was not. The grand jury re
turned an indictment , nnd the prospect
is that the indicted directors will have
to answer to the law for limit" failure to
comply with its requirements. They
arc merely charged with having com
mitted a misdemeanor by using stoves to
heat their cars , in violation of the law ,
but conviction of this carries the pon-
7ilty of olthor fine or imprisonment , or
boliu It is reported that these gentle
men nro fooling very badly over the
grand jury's ' action. It is extremely
unpleasant to thorn to have to undergo
a prosecution of this kind , and such is
public sentiment that they probably
feel there is great danger of conviction.
The prosecuting attorney is said
to bo determined to
press the
case and the judge in whoso
court the indictment was found has given
every indication of sympathy with the
prosecutor. Of course the directors will
light to the last resort , if convicted ut
the outset , and may finally
escape pun-
ishmont.
But , ia any event , the coso is Important
as a precedent. It is the Jrst attempt
wo believe , to bold the ulroctors of a
railroad responsible for a violation of
prosecution. The usual way is to
shoulder the blaine on some ir
responsible subordinate. In this case ,
the judge , instructing the ju ry , held
that if the directors of a railroad have
the control and management of the road
It is their duty to see that the require
ments of the law for the safety of the
traveling public are regarded. The law
says that some person shall bo responsi
ble , nnd if the directors nro allowed to
escape on the plea that they delegate to
subordinates the duty of looking after
legal requirements the laws would
very generally bo defeated. There
can bo no question regarding1 the duty
imposed upon the directors of the road
by the statutes , and In order to their
just and proper enforcement nobody
below these having the control and man
agement can bo regarded or rccognlzodi
as responsible. It is easy to appreciate
the fact that Mr. Dopow and these in
dicted with him should fool
greatly an
noyed and mortified at the position
in which they are placed , but as
treed citizens thov wore hound
10 oooy mo inw , nnu navincr union ID uo
so , with fatal results to those who entrusted -
trusted tholr lives to the cnro of tbo
company they controlled , there is no
reason why the law should not bo en
forced against thorn imi gainst any ono
else. And If they are convicted , justice
requires that they bo punished accord
ing to the law. The prosecution of this
case will command widespread Interest
and boa valuable chapter In our judicial
history.

Generally speaking , tlio government
at Washington pays salaries to its oill-
cors entirely inadequate to the import
ance of the services required. The cost
of living in the capital city is excessive
and the social douvmds upon these in
the higher circles of oillclal socloty are
very heavy. The result of the ponurl-
ousnoss of Uncle Sam Is that poor men
nnd man of moderate moans must olthor
forego the honors of publlo position } or
having accepted them resign soon after
becoming familiar with tholr duties.
The case of the supervising architect
of the treasury brings the subject
iroshly to mind. Ho is recognized as tin
exceptionally competent man. His
salary Is 8loOO per annum.
The city of Philadelphia recognizing
hla high standing- the building pro
fession invites bjin to resign and accept
a place at an Imtfoilso of pay. Men of
good ability In tj&jno departments servo
the government at a personal Bncrlflco.
Unfortunately the economies of congress
are generally dlyofitod to the nalnry list ,
and whllo million.'pour out of tbo bunjf
hole of special appropriations the pplgot
of proper pay for government onicluls Is
carefully pluggb'd' .
In Nebraska the same is true. Our
present constitution wns adopted when
the grasshoppoifc Wul committed havoa
throughout the state and everybody was
retrenching. The salaries of slate of
ficials nro very meagre. Our judges of
the supreme court who should ha the
ablest jurists of the state are paid the
pittance of $2,500 , a year. The gover
nor's salary is the same. Other olllcors
receive less. The deputies and
clerks are none too numerous , and
all with scarcely an exception are
underpaid. Men competent for the po
sitions contemplated in the several state
otllccs nro worth more money to private
employers. The only state olllclals who
are generously paid are llioso connected
with the public charitable , corrective
and educational institutions. Generally
by proper economy they can save money
,
mf nf ilinli * *
In the judgment of THIS IJtiH ills bad
economy to reduce the salaries of the
several deputies n'ml clerks in the state
houso. While it Is true the places will
bo greedily soujrht oven at low salaries ,
the fact remains that the state oujjht not
to expect service at loss than ruling
wages. The laborer is worthy of his
hire \vholhor ho bo a horny-listed har
vest hand or n neatly dressed book
keeper.

while ovou the triple alliance can scarcely bo

The goorkhas who died at Manlpur , In tlio
province of Assam , probably died hard.
The goorkha is' the Highlander of India.
His homo Is In the mountains of Nopuul and
his tr.ido nnd only joy are llghtitiff. Years
ago tbo BnglUh bad a hard fight with No-
paul , nnd tbo worth of Iho fee was recog
nized , and goorkha regiments were raised as
soon as the province bad submitted. At no
tlmo has there boon any lack of recruits , the
moil being only too ( jlnd to enlist , ntul quite
lately five new i-cgiincnts were ralsod. The

inero was u uunuus HIUULIU ) ; UUI.HUUII uiu
Forty-second Highlanders , the black watch ,
nnd the blacker watch of the Himalayan
passes. No fellows got on bettor tog-other.
The men nro short , avorajjing llvo foot two
inches , thick set , of a deep brown
complexion , but with merry faces , that , how
ever , show deep determination when the
matter la consideration Is a light. Their uni
form U of bluu serge with red uiplng for the
i-o.it and trousers and n small round cap with
a red baud and the number ot the regiment.
They are armed with short rlllos und carry
the "Kookcrlo , " a curved sword peculiar to
the tribe , which is always kept as sharp as a
razor and wltb which at close quarters thcy
do tornblo work. Tbo goorkha regiments
have always done good service. The Second
regiment.vthat wns with General Sir Fred
erick Roberta' force tliat held the Shorpur
lines outside Cnbul In 1870 , snvod the
day in tbo principal flght that took
place hi the winter mouths , The whlto
troops wcro seized with nn unaccountable
paniu whim attempting to drive back the
enemy , which hud become moro aggressive
than was pleasant. The goorkhas stood llrm
and charged the enemy , chocking the ad
vance , and with the aid of the mou who had
rnt.rn.itml. lint advanced nsrain ovvinu to the
good example or mo soconu rogunont , soon
sent Prtthnn , Oazl and Darvlsti scuttling
across the snow-covered plain. The goork
has bad taken no prisoner , but every man's
kooKcrio had received its baptism of hlood.
No bookorloU thought much of until it has
boon wetted with the hlood of an oncmy.
Later accounts will probably show that the
goorkbas sold their lives dearly. At M.inl-
pur they wcro lighting ngainat tlio hlghland-
crs of Assam and were certainly greatly out

It Is an Interesting change that will soon
take place In the population of the Hawaiian
kingdom umior the operation of the now
treaty with Japan , which provides for unre
stricted Immigration to Hawaii from Japan ,
and holds out extraordinary inducements to
Japanese laborers who are willing to culti
vate the Hawaiian plantations. It Is only
within recent times that the Japanese have
been allowed to leave their country , and wo
have Just got the flwt evidence that any con
siderable number of them would ever leave
It ; hut the offer of a frro passage from
Yokohama und n gift of money
upon arriving at Honolulu and assured
employment on the Hawaiian sugar nnd cof
fee plantations 1ms had its c/Toot / upon tbo
mind of the Japanese , many of whom are reported -
ported to bo awaiting transportation. Tbo
Hawaiian race has uecn stoadlly dwindling
In numbers during the present century , wid
the latest census gives It a population of but
40,000 , or n decrease , of one-half within a bulf
oiruury , so that Its extinction must soon bo
complete. Tuo Japanese , on tuo other baud ,
-10,000,000 strong nml 1,000,000 Ot their
lunubdf can cailty bo spared for Hawaii.
It will bo worth whllo to wfttoh the pros-
rcss of the transformation that must bo
brought about In tlio Hawaiian kingdom by
Iho Japanese Immigration.
