the Importance of thu 2 < lcnrn ua canal
nnd the nccussity ol itJ being under con
trol of the United States uovprnmont ,
Nolthor party wns coinmlttod in favor
of governmental nsslstanoo to the
project. ilt was approved ns a measure
of national dofcnee and to build up anil
maintain American commerce. There
is no controversy regarding the value
of the enterprise in those reboots. In
case of war with any country that could
send a licet to attack our seaports , the
cannl would bo of tlt2 greatest possible
advantage to the govo'-nmont in en-
ubling'it to oxpedltiomly move naval
vessolH to exposed points. This requires
that the government shall havo- control
of Iho cnnitl , nt least to the extent of
securing Us protection against foreign
control , it has been convincingly shown ,
also , that the cannl would bo a vary
important , Instrumentality In building
up American commerce. It would re
duce by thousands of miles the water
transportation between the west anil the
east , and it would a'.so ' greatly shorten
the distance between our eastern sea
ports and those of the western countries
of South America. It is believed that it
would have a moat stimulating olTect
upon ilia material progress and prosper
ity of the Pacific coast st itos and per
haps upon the entire we t. It is not to
b'o doubted that its bearing upon Iho
prob'om ot transportation rates between
the eastern nnd western sections of the
Unltod Stated would bo important.
All these considerations favorable to
the enterprise nro very generally con
ceded and it is also believed that the
traillc of the canal will besulllclont to
generously rowar.d investors. The
question is shall the .government
identify itself in a financial way with
tlio project ? It has bc'en proposed nnd
the proposal received the unanimous
endorsement of the committee on for
eign relations of the United States sou-
nto , that tno government shall guar
antee bonds of the can il company to
the amount of $ IOI,000IK ) ) ( ) . The con
vention nt Now OHo'ins was called to
promote this plan , which it is plausibly
claimed would enable the eompvnyto
dispose of the bonds more readily jtntl
at better p. ices tlrtii it otherwise could ,
wh'lo ' such a connection of the govern
ment with the enterm-is3 would give it
a national character and more certainly
iiibiiro national protection for it. A bill
to carry-out this proposal was intro
duced in the United States senate , but
was not acted upon and the promoters
of the canal now say that congress
ought to act promptly one way or the
other so that the company may know
what toexpjclnnd proceed accordingly.
This appears to bo reasonable , though
it is to bo berne in mind that in asking
government aid the canal company is
departing from its original professed
intention , which w.ts to complete and
maintain the canal as a private enter
prise , havlnffHimply such governmental
recognition as congress g.ivo it at its
inception.
It is somewhat questionable whether
the plan of securing n government guarantee
anteo for the bands of the canal com
pany will succeed. Thoio is a great
deal of popular opposition to the gov
ernment on luring into obligations of
this character , however apparently well
orotoctod it may bo against loss. There
is to bo a mo o strenuous effort than bus
yet been mndo to induce congress to
aid the canal project , but the company
will probably find it necessary to go on
with the enterprise as it originally in
tended to , without asking of the gov
ernment any other consideration than
that of being recogni/.od.

The inolToctivenoss of the interstate
comniGroo liw us : i moiins of preventing
discriinintitioti by railrouds is ajjuin
illustriitod iirtlio Missouri Pauilic cnso
before the federal grand jury in this
city. The case arises from eortuin suit
shipments from Kansas to South Omaha
and it is aliened in the complaint that
a salt company , of which GoulJ is the
principal owner , has been favored by
his railroad at the expense of uomnoti-
tors. The employes of the ro.id whc
were called as witnesses discreetly re
frained from giving any testimony ol
the slightest value , and tno invcst'ga- '
tlon therefore could not fail to bo i
mere farco. It has boon decided by the
Bupremo court that witnesses in sucli
cases cannot bo compelled to give testl
mony that will tend to incriminaU
tliemselvos , and hence they coolly decline
cline to prive any at all. When asked r
question , they simply reply that thoj
Know nothing about the matter. O
courses conviction is out of the uustlor
uudor such conditions. Nothing bu
records of the transaction can bs of ani
HBO , and good care is t-ilcnn to proven
that kind of evidence from coming t (
light In this case the way bills hai
boon burned.
Agent Krotchmor of the Intorstati
Commerce commission , aoknowledsrinj
the futility of his ollorta to convict th
railroid company , oxnlnlns that thi
failure is due to a defect in the hu
which congress c'm oislly remedy
There is a bill now pandlng before the
sonnto committee which is designed t <
correct the evil. In giving its doclbio
in the celebrated Cotmsolninn case , ii
which it wan hold that witnesses nee
not give tot'inony ' that would Incrltnl

that wltnosbos coiild bo jirotootod b

of this suggestion and may mnUo the it

The doulHlon rendered by.tho Unite
States circuit court of Kansas , doclai
ing it to bo the right of the railroads I
form organizations and nssocintions fc
the regulation of business and the pr
volition of demoralization in rates ,
reported to have boon received wit
o great satisfaction by western rallroi
man igcra. The case which called 01
the decision was brought by the allot
noy general of Kansas against tl
Transtmssourl association , which wi
alleged to lie a trust and in violation
the Sherman anti-trust law. The assi
elation wag dissolved before the suit Wi
dccl led , but Iho decision N nnno Iho
leas Inlorosllng , M 111:0 It bo ira upon nil
slm'lur ' organisation. ,
The court touk the crouad that as
the rallro.uh in the tu-'jcl.Uion hud not
rcllnqui'hed any of their rlghH or fran-
clilsoj as Individual corporations llio
orgitnlzitluu could not bit consldored n
trust , and it further declared. If cor
rectly roimrted , that oven If the roads
did relinquish their rights or franchises ,
the Sherman anti-trust law does not In
nny sanso apply to common cirrlors ,
This would j-ootn to bo a mistake , slnco
tlio law declares it to lu unlawful "to
preventcompotitloi in the transportx-
tlon of persons o. ' propart.y from OPO
sltito or turi'itorv Into unothor , " which
obviously appllu3 to common carriers.
The position of the court that sush asso
ciations as the 'IVuuamUslHiYl was are
not luncnablu to the law Is undoubtedly
sound , but how about biich combinations ,
of common carriers as that in ido by the
Heading , which win undeniably In
tended to nrovont competition in the
interstate transportation ol persons and
property. There c itinot ba a reasonable
doubt that the 11-wling omblntuion is
repugnant to the luttot1 and spirit of the
anti-trust law. .
The K-insns .decision sujfgosts tint
legislation is desirable dollnlng what
shnll bo unlawful combinations between
common c.irrlcrj. If It bo true that the
nuti-tfusl law dojs not apply to common
carriers it is manifestly important th it
it bo made to do so , for their capacity to
injure the public by combination is
much greater than that of any other In- .
terost. If such dcaU as that of the
Heading are not unlawful , and tbis
would bo the Inforotico from the Kansas
ecision , no greater sorvlco could boone
ono the people than to onaot u law
ualfing thorn unlawful , and unless this
10 done it is only a question of time
' such combinations will become
oneral and the public bo placed wholly
t the mercy of the allied corporations.

According to the report of the st'ito
urcau of Indiiat.i.il statistics there tire
hirleen employment agencies in the
ity of Omaha. It is st itjd that the of-
citiis of this city all unite in condj mn-
ng the system , tigroaing that men nnd
vomen in sauroli of omt > ! oyinoit are not
rotoo'iod a : ! iinst the iiapositions of un-
erujnilotis and designing persons who
ouduct these avrcnctos. Aa a remedy
or this evil it is propuiud by the com-
: nitsionor that a law bj liaised ) ire vid-
ng for the establishment and mtilnte-
ca of free employment agencies in
his state , a measure that has boon tried
h success in some other states.
A. law similar to that of Ohio is pro
ofed by the commissioner.
It is not casy to lotvrn the extent of
ho abuses of the employment bureau
iyslom as it now exists in Omaha and
elsewhere in this attito , but in some
jitios it has long boon recognized as a
iort ot necessary evil , to bo tolerated
except in specific cases where the ngont
jvortaxcs the forbearance of his dupe )
: ind falls Into the hands of the law as a
bwindlur. Daublless there are many
honest employment agents , but thcro
: ire so many who are rascals that arrests
upon complaint of poor boekors for work
, vho htivo been Jlcccoil by them are by
no means uncommon. Hut tnoso who
lire biought to justice are comparativeiy
bw , for only a very surill jiroportion of
, ho victims will make complaint , pro-
'erring ' to lose a Mil ill sum of money
alhoi1 tnan s.icnlieo their pride by
allowing it to bo known that they have
sought work by such me.ins. It is easy
, o believe , though perhaps it cannot
easily bo proven , that thousands of. men
iind women are swindled every day by
employment agencies without making
known their loss to their' nearest
friends.
There is now an employment agency
in this city under the managoinont of
the Associated Charities which is doing
a useful work. It is reasonable to sup
pose that similar agencies under state
supervision would be of great benefit to
those seeking employment , while the
cost of maintaining thorn would be
cpaid many times over in the im
proved condition of the poorer class.
IT is expected that there will bo i
renewal of the effort , at the cominj :
session of congress , to limit the com
petition of the Ginadiun Pacific railwa\
with the American transconttnonta
lines. The disposition to restrict tin
privileges now o'ljoyod by the allot
corporations in American business I
not confined to any parly in congrcbs
The proposal to do this has IH stronf
democratic as republican supporters
ono of the foiem > st advocates of tin
policy being Senator Gorman of Mary
land , who proposes that the C.inadi.u
Pacific ; shall bo compelled to conform ti
the provisions of the intoratito com
inorco act to tlio same extent as Amorl
can roads. If there Is tiny loglslatlo
on this subject by the present congros
it will probably go no farther than thl
requirement , though there is undoubtedly
odly a coiibldorablo sentiment in favc
of shutting olt this Uanadlnn compel

"Thoro Un't any douut of It , not n bit , The
country Is now going to bo saved , nml the
dcmocra.s nro eolnp to do thasnvlnp. " Tbus
spuKo n certain democrat who afllllatos with
thut orff.inlzntIon ; nnd us ho said It a satiri
cal smllo spread over bis countenance , which
warranted an Inquiry as to Iho exact manner
In which the democratic compatriots ol No-
bralm proposed to co to work.
"Uh , " bo replloil , "iinvon't you hcarrt the
schema on foot to organize tbo loKi'liiluro
acninst the republicans ! "
On beinu assured that that Information
linrt not vet reached the oaw ot the In
quisitor , ho continued :
"Why , there's i. movement on foot where-
DV A tut row Jarksou Siwyor , Victor Vif-
ijuttlti , Ooorijo Mnrvln , Dan Coolt and others
huvo organize ! a coliiiulttco , wblob is to hold
its llrsl meclitii ; down nt Lincoln on tbo
cvonlnR ot D'comber I ana adopt a plan that
IMS already boon formulated ot KoUlng such
ilouiLcrats ns luivo ooon olectoii lo the lejjls-
laturo to sign n p.ipor nprccliiR to help the
Independents or anizo the coming session ,
'i'lio plan is to give the democrats the senate
and the Indopoiidonts the house. The nprco-
incnt also contemplates united notion In the
selection of a United States senator nnu
upon a railroad bill. Just wbo authorized
those gentlumon to bcconio tbo saviors of n
state already 'bordering on the vcrgo of
civil mid moral ruin' is not made public , but
thcro is no doubt but that the country will
bo saved by a cut and dried atjrenmont.
"Now. 1 don't believe that any such pro-
lrniu can bo carried out , for it is well known
thut there are some democrats In the naxt
legislature that are out and out VullroaO. man
and they are not at all lilicly lo tie up with
tlio anil-monopoly independents. Tluin , too ,
it is suspcotcil that , tbo man whom tbcso
Htilf-oonsliluled leaders favor for ttiosonn-
tOMhip , J. Sterling Morton would bj mi.v-
lliinir but nursomi uraln to Van Yek anil
his Independent following. But , anyway ,
it's all light. Lot them go nnead. The
smaller the dnmooratio party grows tbo moro
loaders It accrues. "
"This reminds mo that Congressman
Bryan paid a vei'.v nat tluni ; to Or. iMlllur in
a letter in which' lie wrote in reply to 0110
Irom tno doctor concerning the oi'untition
of a combination to control federal paironaco
In this state. Mr. Bryan , whether from u
desire to keep aloof irom entangling alliances
or from the expectancy of controlling tbo
patronage tilm elf , I don't know winchwrota
he doctor this curt sentence :
'Democracy doea not need loaders so much
as it does followers. '
" 1'erhaus it was this shnro rejoinder that
incited Dr. Miller to Ibo publication of nis
recent card in THK ISuuunnouuciug his with
drawal from politics. "
"Thoro are a good many of us , " said a
prominent young democrat of Nebraska who
stood by itnd heard ' .he ubovo dissertation on
Nebraska politics in general and NebrasKa
democratic politics in particular , "who do
not care how much the old roosters light , but
they have got | to keep out or our cock pit.
The young democracy proposes to huvo
something to say about the distribution of
tbo spoils ; and it is very likely
that the quarrel hcncj on will Do
between the mossbacks nnd the young
democrats , instead of beuvocm the old
loaders. Particularly will this Do
tbo case It Tobo Castor is , through his own
volition , or tbo efforts of others , brought to
the front as a spoils distributor. 1 have
heard of a number of the younger men , the
lighters , dcclaro themselves upon this sub
ject. They say they would acquiesce in the
old lirm of Millar and Boyd as spoils dis
tributors , but Castor , never. "
"It is not generally known , but true
nevertheless , that tbo mostilmnortant factor
in formulating the campaign just ended lor
Mr J. Sterling Morton was not the talent of
Mr. Euclid Martin , chairman of the state
ccntial committee , but of a person who con
siderately kept himself retired from public
vlow. Mr. J. A. Matthews was tuo man
who directed the movements nnd laid
out tbo line of battle. Now ttiat llio
democratic party is in power , It Is proposed
by the iriunds ot this gentleman to bestow
upon him a titling mark of appreciation. Ho
is to bo pushed for the position ot minister
to Patagonia , and it is believed that at ino
court of Terre del Fuotjo his shining quali
ties will have deserved scope. Mr. George
Ilinos , it is also understood , will bo secre
tary of the legation in the event of Mr.
Matthew's appointment. "
A. b. Sutton , the South Omaha member-
elect of tno legislature , was questioned as to
his view of tbo contest proceedings. Ho re
plied that ho bad given it but litllo thought
so far as the charge of fraud is concerned.
"But , " he lidded , "should tbo democrats and
independents combine in the legislature ,
they could throw us nil out. The
fact that Wbl.ton is contesting the
seat of Crane , wbo received overll.OUU mcro
votes than Whitten , looks ns if tlio contest
ants were not depending upon changing a
tuftlciont number of votes to unsoit Ibo re
publicans , but that they simply wanted to
crv fraud , and on that ground capture tbo
seats when it came to a trial in the legisla
ture. They probablv can show irregularities ,
but wo can sbow as much as they ran and
thov Know it. Their evident purpose is tc
form a combination of democrat's and inde
pendents and thus bavo a majority in the
legislature antagonistic to republican tnom <
bers. "

Beatrice Times i The Democrat seems
dibpleasea with tuo fact thut the Times is
continuing its support of Senator Paddock
slnco the election. The Tunes will always
bo found loyal to the city of Beatrice ind the
republican party. It "is for Beatrice and
Gage county men , M'hoii worthy , for places
of public trust , as u ainst men from any
othOr section of the stnto. Senator Paddocit
has boon a faithful worker in the Interest !
of his constituents nnd his efforts have boon
assiduous in bolialf of our baautiful city.
Certainly Inn peonlo of Boat-rico , irrespec
tive of party alllllations , stiould favor the
return of Senator Padaocl : to tbo United
States senate.
Fremont Tribune ( rep. ) : As between
Paddocic and a democrat there is not very
much choice ; as between Paddock and a good
republican the Trlouno confesses it would
most probably DO for the latter. The reason
thcro is little choice between Paddock and a
democrat is because on great dividing prin
ciples Paddock could not bo railed upon by
the republicans ; he aided and abetted the
enemy too much hn certainly did not
strengthen bis pirty , and republicans wbo
are republicans from principle rather than
for tbo olllces , have never boon very
proud of his altitude. Tbis is the un
varnished truth and the Tribune
sees no harm to party policy or
success in speaking the truth. The fact that
there is general opposition to the senator in
republican ranks shows how widespread is
this sentiment. No pralso which Senator
Paddocit deserves need 113 withheld from
him. It is u fact that ho has been faithful to
his friends and has dealt out patronage to
them qulto sonorously. Ho lias likewise
been nn active worker in the departments
looking nftor private and public int cicst
HutItnoma republican can bo found who

People's Uights ( ind ) ; If iho independent
