THERE is some speculation among
democrats as well as republicans as tc
how the democratic- party will succeed
in constructing n platform of principles
conaistont with Governor Boyd's address -
dross relative to an extra session.
TUB same old chestnut about the proposed -
posed union depot near the old nail
works has been revamped by the Omaha
F. J < \ ( fake factory ) . Whether it is for
homo consumption or intended to draw
euckors from abroad has not transpired.
THE BEE hopes that tso time is not
distant when there will bo substantial
t
and permanent viaducts over every rail
road crossing. But Homo was not built
in a day and auy attempt to overload the
railroad by ordering viaducts promiscu
ously in ono season can only result in de
feating all the projects.
EIGHTEEN now cotton mills , repre
senting 1,350,000 spindles , arc in course
of erection In Lancashire , England.
This ought to DO convincing proof to
Americans that there is still room for a
good many cotton mills on this side the
Atlantic , where the raw material and
the consumer of the manufactured arti
cle can shako hands.
FIFTEEN persons connected with the
Louisiana Lottery company indicted by
the grand jury have boon placed undor.
bonds of S200 each to appear at the next

cused gentlemen are not in much
danger of conviction or it is expected
they may want to default upon their bail
bonds.
THK young khcdivo of Egypt is not
mature enough in years to take up his
Unties as ruler of that country. Ho is
old enough , however , to understand in
ternational comity , and ho proves it by
gracefully announcing to William Will-
tor Phelps that the United States min
ister to Germany needs no diplomatic
Introduction to tiio successor of the
Pharaohs.
DON'T ask too many things at ono
tlmo. If wo insist on building the Sixteenth -
teonth and Fifteenth street viaducts this
season there are ton chancoa to ono that
wo will have no viaduct built olthor at
Sixteenth or Fiftoonth. Nine tlmos out
of ton the coupling of two propositions
, defeats both , and this la liabloto happen
with the viaduct ordinances if the attempt -
' tempt is made to force both ordinances
through at the sumo tlmo.

It is announced from the city of Wash

UK LOST AX OPPOnTVNlTY.
The ollicial declaration on the part i
Govoinor Boyd that ho had decided m
to cell the legislature In extra sosslc
scores another decided triumph for tl :
railroad magnates , .lust before ho wt
reinstated in his ofllco by the drcision <
the supreme court Governor Boyd mud
no secret of his Intention to call n
extra session of the legislature , if for r
other purpose than to formulate a max
mum rule bill on stuplo commodltlo
Including grain , live stock , coal , hnnbc
and salt. No sootier had Governor Boy
boon reinstated than ho was cajoled , In
portunod and bulldozed by rallron
emissaries to give up the idea of callln
an extra session. Tlio governor hoi
out very bravely for nearly a month , hi
ho finally weakened and gave in.
Tlio reasons glvon for changing hi
mind have boon glvon to the publl
frankly and without reserve. They nr
plauslblo and would under ordinary cli
cumstancos have boon satisfactory t
the people. Tlio truth is , however , tlui
tbo pressure brought to boar upon th
governor has emanated chlolly If nc
wholly from railroad headquarters. Th
railroad managers wore soriousl
alarmed if not absolutely frightened n
the prosnoct that the legislature woul
enact a reasonable maximum rate lai
framed in conformity with the views o
the governor. Had they really boliovc
What they have made Governor Boy
believe , namely , that the logislatur
would break up without agreeing upo
any bill , they would not have taken s
much trouble to dissuade him fret :
calling the session. The railroad mar
agors would have cared very little abou
the cost of a session that would grim
out emptyings. Their share of thn
expense would have been a more bagatelle
tollo in view of the millions which the ;
take out of Nebraska every your ii
oxcces of what they should charge.
The truth Is the legislature would no
have dared to adjourn without makhij
a moderate reduction in freight rates
Most of the men who compoao the legislature
laturo , independents , democrats am
republicans , either hope to go b.icl
next winter or want to go higher. The ;
have all boon homo since the last sossioi
and know the temper of the people
The blustering letters which the mos
radical independents have sent to tin
fjovornor are no index of what thoj
would have done had they boon put U
the test of accepting moderate ruilrout
legislation or returning to their consti
Luenta empty handed. The bugGean
vbout scaring away foreign capital foi
[ ear of extreme legislation relative t (
loans and credits was too gauzy to bi
worthy of attention. The legislature
3ould not touch a single issue not in
jluded in the governor's call and eastort
3apitalists know this as well as wo do.
Governor Boyd has lost an oppor
tunlty to render the state n service
.vhich . Is not likely to present itsel

AN OliVlOUS SCJIKMK.
The Springfield ( Mass. ) Republican. .
cforring to the article in the Iowa Stati
Register of March 1 urging that the
opublican delegation from Iowa to the
.ational convention bo instructed tc
, 'oto for Mr. Blaine , says : "If there it
10 well-laid scheme behind this rep
osontativo republican newspaper's
ittoranccs , then the case becomes the
rory saddest of the many sad ones re'
iordod in the history of Blaincophobiu
n this country. "
The Republican's implication that
hero may bo a well-laid scheme in the
ilTorts of J. S. Clarksnn to send a dele
gation from Iowa to Minneapolis in-
tructod for Blaine is fully warranted.
Dho design is to make a trade in the in-
orestof Clarlcson. That individual IE
lot at all modest in his political aspira-
lons. His zeal for Mr. Blaine was duo
argoly to the hope that ho might secure
ho second place on the ticket. Ho will
10 very well satislled now to make a
largain for a cabinet position , and if ho
an got the Iowa republican delegation
nstructod for Blaine it is not to bo
loubted that ho will endeavor to make
uch a bargain. Clarlcson has no ox-
loctation that Blaine will bo nominated.
Micro is not a republican londnr whoso
pinion is of any weight who doaa no
ogard as final the refusal of the socro-
ary of state to bo considered a prcsi-
ontinl candidate. There is not u , re-
lutablo republican having faith in the
andor and honesty of Mr. Blulno who
oos not hold tliat view of his doclin-
tlon. The assumption that low i "has
ho power to make him the next presi-
ent of the United States" is manifestly
bsurd. But if the Iowa delegation
hould bo instructed for Blaine It would
o in a position to be manipulated in the
ntorost of some other o.indidato , and
ho inlluonco of Chvrkson would bo
xorted in behalf of the candidate from
fhora ho had reason to expect the most
iboral consideration.
The schema behind the utterances of
lie licyister la sulllolontly obvious. It is
D plain that very fowof the republicans
f Iowa are likely to bo docolvod by it.
'horo are not many of thorn who have
ny doslro to promote the political aspl-
ations of J. S. Clurkson. Ills course as
solf-uppolntod loader of the ropubll-
uns of Iowa has not boon to the ad-
milage of the party in that stiuo.
lis conduct on a broader stage of polltl-
al notion has not helped the republican
arty in the nation. Ho lacks" the ca-
aoity for wise and safe leadership. The
andoncy of what ho is now ondo woring
a do in [ owa is against party harmony ,
a essential to republican success In that
late this your , and it Is the imperative
nty of the republicans of tiiat state to
ofoat his transparent scheme.
TllK VOLK NUISANCE ,
Whether this city orders the wires of
ho telephone , telegraph or electric
ighting companies underground or not ,
iiothor polo for wires should not bo
ilantod In this city without a permit
rom the Board of Public Worka and
nder supervision of a competent in-
poctor , detailed to see to it that the
olos shall bo planted without seriously
umnging sidewalks and interfering
rlth the poles already existing. It is
ad enough to have our streets ob-
truotod by a forest of poles in the heart
f the city , but it is an outrage on prop-
rty owners who have gone to the ex
cuse of costly permanent sidewalks ,
nd who have expended largo sums for
ub-collars in front of their store houses ,
to submit to having thoin torn up 1
laborers who nro not competent to n
pair the damage.
The fact Is that the city ought 1
compel the corporations who own po' '
lines In this city to deposit mono
enough with the city treasurer to pr
for all damages liable to occur before
permit is granted to tear up the walk
Another very desirable reform woul
bo to require all poles to bo of unifori
height and permit only ono sot on on
side of any street , conditioned that a
competing companies shall have joli
use of such poles on payment of roi
Bonablo charco to the company ownln
the lino. This would do away with tli
promiscuous polo nuisance in our street

Congressman Hutch hit Holtnan
wicked blow between the eyes on Satin
day. Ilolman has boon playing hi
favorite role of obstructionist nl
through tl'o session and has arrogate
to himself prlvllogos which tnu3t cot
tuinly have boon exasperating to othu
democratic loadofs. In the Saturda
melee ho attempted to kill an appri
priution of $ loO)00 ( ) foi > the buro au i
animal industry and $10OOJ for hoe
sugar experiments by claiming that th
proposed expenditures wore not proper !
matters belonging to the committee o
agriculture , but to the cnmmlttoo 01
appropriations. Ho w.vs first knockoi
out by the speaker , who overruled hi
point of order ; and when ho rose aguli
Uncle Bill [ latch struck him with ;
shaft of ridicule which wilted him com
plotely.
Uolmun has attempted to run th
government nil by himself this wlntoi
Instead of confining humalf to the
business of his own committee on ap
proprlations ho has imUtod upon uaini
his choose knife on every sort of oxpon
iliturc without regard for the courlos ;
which precedent and politeness accord
to other committees. The Indian ap
propriatlon bill as passed by the hous
is u mosaic of contradictions and a re
markublo conglomeration of crude idea
lisa result of the extreme activity c
the Indliunun's proboscis in a vicinit ;
whore ho was not at nil at homo. Th
Agricultural mo.isuro presented by Mr
Elutch had boon very carefully consid
Bred and when Ilolman proposed t
jutechiso the Minsourian upon tin
measure that able and experience )
parliamentarian frankly and with tin
expressed sympathy of his outrage )
issociatos told him to mind his owi
business.
The colloquy did not end there , how
aver , for Holiniin novel- knows when h <
s in danger until the house falls on hin
ind ho insisted upon intermeddling
whereupon Mr. Hatch , although a fol
ow democrat , oxpobcd him in a wa ;
vhich brought down the house and wil
iripplo the old man's efforts at pars !

Mr , Hatch entered congress in tin

it the complete discomfiture of Holmat
vhon Mr. Hatch , raising his voice in hi
leuuliur way , stated that ono of the ( Irs
ipeechos ho had heard from the lips o
tfr. Holman was in favor of a Dill ti
) uild a turn-piko road in the state o
Indiana.
Mr. Holman subsided and the bill wa !
massed. The democrats wore in as higi
floe over the result as the republicans ,
t is to bo- hoped the gentleman from
Indiana has boon effectually squelched ,
or next to Buck Kilgoro of Texas , he
md become the most intolerable nul
anco on the floor of the house of ropro-
ontatlves. In future debates the com-
lound word "turn-piko" will bo used to
mmonso advantage whenever Holman

A ( lllEAT STHIKK TJlllKATRNED.
If the coal minors of England carry
ut their announced intention , there
, 'ill bo inaugurated this week ono of
ho greatest strikes in the history of
hat country. The lutost advices inti-
lute that the threatened conflict may
o averted. It is stated thut of the
00,000 minors in Great Britain not
lore tliun one-third of them have oven
isoussed the question of u strike , and
ti view of the fact that coal sioclts arc
aw and prices high it is thought proba-
lo that a satisfactory arrangement may
0 inudo between the operators and the
liners by which hostilitloj will bo
voided. Meanwhile the price of coal
.as gone up to extraordinary figures
nd there is much , suffering in conso-
uonco among the poor.
The coal minors of the United'King-
om constitute a powerful organization ,
'ho National union of minors was or-
iinlzod eleven years ago , and two voara
: iter it had become strong enough ta
arry a 16 per cent advance through the
Lingdom. Slnco that time the minors
ave reckoned with the oparutors on
qual terms. Within the lust four youre
ho mon have obtained two advances ,
mounting to . ' 10 per cent. Under a plan
dopted three years ago , wages and nil
thor differences between employers and
liners have boon settled by an organ-
ted system of local , district and
ational committees. Fully CO per cent
f all the minors belong to the National
ulon , which keeps a largo fund to bo
sod in cane of strikes and also disburses
considerable amount annually In relief.
It will thus bo scon that this powerful
rganization has a long period of suc-
088 behind it to , give oncourngomont
nd confidence to its members , but It is
tiggostod that they face odds never mot
oforo. Great strikes have failed in the
ast year In Germany and Franco ,
'hero ' wages are far lower than in Eng-
ind. The depression that extends over
Inglish trade is unfavorable to uny ad-
anco in the wages for mlnfng coal , and
the mon insist upon their demand a
rolongod conflict will bo inevitable ,
.ccordlng to n cable dispatch , If the
xport trade Is cut off one-third of the
liners in the country might remain on
strike six months without restricting
10 output consumed at homo. If that
1 the fact It would seem that under ex
iling conditions the minors of the
nitcd Kingdom will make a very seri
ns mistake if they precipitate a con-
let. The effect of doing this must
necessarily bo to Increase the ponon
business dourcjlslon , while the siillonn

the remark thut u practice has grow
up In the departments at Washingto

often couched in language which woule

THE most creditable thing David Bon
ictt Hill has done in a very long time
vus his refusal to ucceptstilury from the
josrinning of his term us United Stutes
lonator , March 4 , 1891. Mr. Hill was
iworn in us senator January 7 , 1892 , but
it the beginning of the current month
10 had a right to claim a full year's sal-
iry. On applying to the clerk of the
lonuto for money ho was tendered that
imount , with miloajro , but declined to
ocoivo it and inaisted upon signing
'ouchors only for the time since lie was
worn in , so that over $4,000 which ho
night have had will bo covered back
nto the treasury. As a financial trans-
tction Mr. Hill was bettor oil by remain-
ng to the end of his term as governor of
Tow York , the pay of that position

onutor , but none the loss his action was

THE democrats of Rhode Island , who
