This is a great fitato. TACK an item on to the appropriation bill for the icllofof the Fake-Factory and bo d no with it. Republicans in thcMnntc should stand np /or Nebraska and mlicm Ihc pledges of 1802 byvoliiKjfnr house roll 3.1. THKUK came near being another dis play of boquots in the benato Tuesday. There may bo occasion for them today. A conuESi'O.VDKNT asks what rela tion tlio lieiitonant governor sustains to the railroads of. this state. Ho owns them. THK mayoralty eoiucst in Chicago is absorbing HO much attention that the people of that city have nearly forgotten that they are to have a World's fair. Wis venture to suggest that the rooms of the hoiibo and senate committees on engrossed anil enrolled bills will bear watching. The doors should bo locked nnd barred agatnbt the oil room sinners. WHIMS the senate is wrestling with the maximum freight bill it shouldn't lose sight of the usury bill. It is time for Nebraska to fall in line with Iowa and Illinois in the standard rate of in terest. IT 13 not muuh of an advantage to an ofllco faooker to have been an ' 'original Cleveland man. " The indications are 'that originality is not appreciated by this administ-ation. The men who came in late seem to bo getting the best scats. Now THAT Senator Everett has de clared the pair with Senator Thomson off , ho isfico to support house roll 33 , nnd wo confidently expect that ho will stand up for Nebraska in spite of all the pressure the railroad managers may exert. v Tun president says that ho is grateful to the democrats of Illinois because they were largely instrumental in placing him whore ho is. Now lot the democrats of Illinois get to Washington as fast as railroad accommodations can bo pro vided for them. THE operations of cattle thieves in Colorado last year must have been ox- tensive. Under an inspection system controlled by the btato there were 1.-434 head of stray cattle picked up at the various markets , which returned the cattle growers of Colorado over $34,000. The legislature should not udjonrn before it has stamped out corruption and j > laced 'Jie state institutions wider the care and supervision of officers icho do not wink at corrupt practices and have the integrity and thcbackbone to stop thieves and plunderers from robbing the stale and looting the treasury. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THE city of Mexico , which is suffering from a typhus epidemic , is without n sewerage system , but the authorities have decided to build sewers at a cost of between § 7,000,000 and $10,000,003. The Mexicans are learning the lessons ol olvilizatljii. PnuiiAPS one reason why the principa European nations have decided not tc send as many of their war ships to our naval review as was expected is thai they do not know how soon they may b ; needed at homo. There are chips on several European shoulders all the time , TUB indications arc that the man win allot the mayor of Moscow was a nihilist Tlio murdered man was in high fnvo w ith the czar , nnd this fuot gives a po litical ojlor to the tragedy. The nihi llstic element in Russia has been un usually quiet of late , but that does no prove that it Inn ceased to exist. SOME cltloa are b oiling their drlnkin < water to kill the cholera bacillus , bu that is nH necessary for those who us > Missouri river water. What the poopl of Omaha need most in this regard is i process by which the mud nn-1 sand ma ; bo tlUorcd out of the water furnished t the patrons of the water catnpany. Th average Omaha man may need sand , bu ho don't want it served in the water h must drink. THE bourbons of Now Orleans are no dissatisfied at the appointment of Serin tor Eustis to the French mission , bu they do protest against his belli cha god up to Louisiana when ho hnsu' ' Hred there for fifteen years. This ma be bard to understand duwn in Dixie , bu n i hiru wo are Used to it. This stal US B cha-ged with appointment V iri'/nt and Pennsylvania , bu It * If/i'la didn't make any row about 1 A ( Illl'.AT rtK/HUSKM YK tit The ji'ttiHO.'J promltoi to bo n pho- nnnii'iial mw to thU stale In the matter of flottliMtiont ami dovilopment. It be gins already to look as H the draft which the World's fair will make upon our resources in the interior , at least , will bo more than off ot by the Invest ments of now settler * . In addition to the natural profits growing out of this Influx of people , capitalists are directing their attention to the undeveloped man ufacturing rosotm'04 of the stuto and hundreds of thousands , if not millions of dollars , will bo expended UiU year in c.in structing irrigating dltchc- ) , developing water nnd electric power and in indus tries requiring smaller outlays. The work in progress In the western part of Nebraska along both forks of the Platte river Is not appreciated In the other half of the state , but its effect upon the development of what too many people luivo regarded as worthless territory will soon surprise remaining doubters. The state Ls-nlready fooling the uplift which this stimulating clement of west ern progress has so often hitherto brought about. Lauds are advancing : farmers nro reaching out after adjacent acre- * ' , business is improving and the old time air of prosperity can be observed from the trains us .they fly across the prairies. Old settlers will not boo bo many now towns springing into existence as in former days , but the growth and improvement in condlti > ns will bo nevertheless marked. Brick stores , handsome d\\oll- _ ings , now bai us , new farm houses nnd more breaking plows will bo the evi dences of restored health in all our agri cultural communities. The towns will enjoy added trade nnd the whole.-alo hoifocs in the cities will bo rushed to fill imlors , but the trend is not now to urban tomes but tithe b/oad and fertile acres. The American farmer HOOS only a few 'curs ' ahead of him a marvelous change n the conditions of country life. Tlio ilcctrical ago will free the farmer rom his father's isolation and relieve ilm vastly of the drudgery which now makes agricultural labir distasteful. This has something to do with the move- nent observed everywhere in the west. The character of the immigration baa : ilso improved. The poor immigrant Iroiu Europe docs not monopolize the mssengor train * . The tlmo has gone by 'or ' securing homesteads in Nebraska , > penking generally. The new comer ntibt buy a farm and pay enough for it to indiu'o its occupant to hell and move farther west. Consequently wo are now draining from Iowa and Illinois particu larly the most enterprising and success ful farmers or their sons. The high prices : > ITered in the cast stimulate Miles and turn the attention of the owners of lands to the west , whore from two to twenty acres can bo obtained for every square aero sold at home. The Illinois farmer , clls for $ " . " > an aero and buys for from 5 to $30 in Nebraska. Ho either secures more laud for his money or puts the ex cess of funds into block and improve ments. In either event the now coun try is benefited. Tlio Nebraska farmer who bolls does not leave the state. Ho merely moves on and invests in another locality. The movement is exactly what we need to induce capital to seek invest ment here , and to spread our population out over the broad , uncultivated urea uhluh irrigation and climatic are making surprisingly productive. It is to bo a great year in Nebraska. STA.TK 1IAXK CritltKXCV. The currency problem is regarded by the president , as he himself bus s-aid , as being first in importance among the questions with which the present ad ministration will have to deal. If there was no diversity of views in the demo cratic party upon this problem it might bo comparatively easy to find a solution but opinions as to what should bo done radically differ , so that the indications are that it will bo extremely difficult , i not impossible , to unite the democrats in COIILTOSS upon any policy , whether ori ginating in that body or with the administration. It is evident , for in stance , that the senate democrats can not bo induced to unite in favor of a re peal of the silver purchase act , notwith standing the demand of the naliona platform for its repeal , unless some leg islatiou shall bo substituted equally litho the interest of silver , and there is overj reason to believe that the same will be found to bo true of the democrats in the hoiibc. Mr. Cleveland talked in his in augural address of concession , bul whatever ho may bo willing to do there is nothing to show that the representa tives of his party in the legislative lativo department of the gov eminent are disposed to con cede anything. The composition o : the majority of the senate finance com mittco is not a reassuring response tc the president's appeal to his party ro gurding its duty in dealing with tin financial situation. It is understood that the president ant secretary of the treasury are givinj : serious consideration to the ourronci problem and expect to have ready fo ; introduction in the next congress whei it meets a measure upon which it i hoped the party can bo united. It i said that one of the provisions of thi measure will allow btato bunks tT issui notes , but It Is proposed to put some llmi tation. or to put the t-amo lirnita tions , on them as on the national banks That is , state banks can issue eireula tion free from tax on certain conditions but whore these conditions are not com plied with a tax will bo imposed. Th object , it is explained , is to make th currency uniform a ? nearly as possible for which purpose it will bo proposal ti retire the greenback circulation and t give it elasticity , at the same time glv ing the federal authority some power t regulate the circulation issued by btat banks. Undoubtedly it will ba foum that a majority of the democrats in th next congress are favorable to a restart tlon of state bank currency , bu whether under any such restrictions i It is understood the udminlstratic measure will propose is quostionabh The democratic national platform d < manded simply that the tux on &ta * . bank issues bo repealed , and althoug Mr. Cleveland has never expressed hln s-elf on the subject ho Is understood 1 bo In favor of the demand. The souther element of the democracy will heartl ! support a measure to repeal , some of tl \ legislatures In the south having already provided for the lusito of currency by state banks In the event of the lax bolng removed , but such a measure could not obtain the mipport of all ho democratic representatives from ho north , unless the circulation of state banks could lw regulated by edornl authority , and the practicability of doing this Is open to question. What scorns to bo evident Is that n cardinal feature of the democratic policy ogardlng the currency will bo a restoiatlon o * the state bank issues , nnd if this bo done the country will ultimately have o return to the currency conditions before the war , whatever restrictions may bo Imposed at the out- sot. Tlio tax being removed the drift oward the old state of things will bo steady and sure. A vote of censure by the legislature will tare no more effect upon the Hoard of Public Lands and Jiuildings than pouring water on a duck's back. Turn the rascals ovt and place the management of our date in- ktilutiom into the hands of men who icill not btantl by and let the date treasury be pillaged by thieves and swindlers. OPPOSKD TO 1'UltblO 1'OLtcr. A decision recently rendered by the supreme court of Tennessee shows that t wide application may bo made of the principle that any combination , whether of corporations or of individuals , for the [ mrposo of imposing a restraint upon Tree competition , is contrary to public policy nnd therefore illegal. A whole- bale grocers' association in Nashville had bound its members not to purchase goods from any importer or manufac turer who sold to retail mer chants. Ono of the retail grocers brought suit againbt the association for $ i,000 , claiming that his business had been injured and his profits diminished , nnd that ho had been subjected to great inconvenience and trouble in consequence quence of the action of the combination. The jury was charged by the trial judge that the orguni/.ation was illegal and that the plaintiff was entitled to recover any actual damage ho had buffered on account of the discrimination complained of. This decision was sustained by the supreme court , but the opinion of the latter wont further nnd hold that if such an agreement could bo found to exist and the plaintiff had buffered from it ho was entitled to a verdict that would curry with it the costs of action. Tliis may seem like ca'Tying the anti- combination principle to an extreme , but us a matter of fact it is as applicable in such a case as this as in one which in volves more weighty interests. Similar decisions bearing upon the bamo point in relation to combinations merely local in their boopo have been rendered in other states. They are important chiefly as admonitions against the tend ency toward organization for the pur pose of restraining competition. The right of every man to engage in trade and to enjoy unrestricted privileges in the market is one that cannot bo denied , and no sophistry can obscure the obvious fact that a combination for the restraint of trade or the diminution of production is contrary to public policy in so far as it is inimical to the interests of competi tors or the moro important interests of consumers. There will be no general application of this principle to the hundreds of minor associations throughout the coun try which exist solely for the purpose of restraining competition , but an occa sional example like that in Tennessee will servo to remind even the smaller monopolists that it is unsafe to trench too boldly upon the rights of those who do not seek the advantages afforded by combination. An open field , and n fair fight will bo the ultimate outcome of all this agitation against combinations. The people do not tcant the legislature to adjourn before the state home 7ta ? bsen purged of dishonest and faithless ojkials. The people Kill clieerfully bear any taxation the legislature may impose on them if the legislature will only do its duty fcuilessly and regardless of ah pressure from corpo rate injlitcncc or the corrupt lobby. THE latest bulletin from the census department gives some interesting com parative statements of population and shows the foreign born population us a whole from 1S50 down to and including the last census yea- . The statement by decades from 1850 to 1800 makes the 'ollowihg showing : 1850 total popula tion , 25,191,870 ; persons of foreign birth , 2 , ± i 1,002 ; percentage of foreign born O.t > 3 ; 1800 total , 31,443,321 ; foreign aorn , 4,133,007 ; percentage of foreign born , 13.10 ; 1870 total , 33,533,371 , ; foreign born , 0,583,220 ; percentage of foreign born , 14.4 1 ; 1830 total , 50,155,783 ; foreign born , 0,079,913 : percentage of f Ji-oign born , 13.2 ; 1SOJ total , 02,022,250 ; foreign born , 9,249,517 percentage cf fjroign born , 14.77. II will be noticed that the ratio of foreign born to native born has increased but little during the last three decades , Germany and Irolanl have boon the most liborul contributors to our popula tlon , and it appears that in 1800 no les : than 50.34 per cent of the people in the United States were natives o those countries. At the same time the numbjr who were of Scan uinavian birth footed up 10.00 per center or moro than twice as nriny in proportion tion to the whlo population in in 1870 The increase in the immigration fron Sweden an 1 Daninurk has elate late years boon very largo and is con Btaiuly growing. Of the Scandinavia Americans only about 2" ) per cant live ii cities , the masses balng attracted by th advantages which agricultural life otter them , and the greater portion are i the west and northwest. IT APPEARS from a preliminary n port by the statistician of the Intor&tul Commerce commission that during th year ending Juno 3J , 1302 , the groi earnings on 105.0J3 miles of railroa were 8JUJ,525,249 from paHongors , $331 3J1.970 from freight and § 2aS23,81 : /miscellaneous sources , making total of 31,222,711,693. The oporatln expenses were $814,722,032 , making th not earnings 3407,931,010 , an Increase ( about $13,000,000 over the provipus yea This la an enormous increase ovc the not earnings of 1891 , and oven win allowance is made for the fact that tlu : Ing the Inttanwair the light crops of 1HOI were bciitg/m-n-oJ - , It is apparent that the earnings of the railroads of the country nro rap"filly growing. The pres ent year ennnoKInll to bo one of unpre cedented prosp iyfty for nil of the lines on account of the vast business that will bo caused by tfid World's fair. Under such conditions the railroad corpora tions can afford , to bear a rcsonnblo share of taxation nmu ( the same time lighten the burden of transportation charges to such n degreOiHsJwlll encourage n larger patronage instant ! ot repelling It. Ir ANYHOUY questions the right of the legislature to impeach n state olllcer for on offense committed during n previous term ho is respectfully referred to the Consolidated Statutes of Nebraska , sec tions 1,022 and 1,023. chapter 11. , entitled "Courts of Impeachment , " which read as follows : "An impeachment of any stuUj officer shall be tried notwithstand ing such olficor may have resigned his otfice , or his term of ofllco has expired ; and if the accused person bo founu guilty judgment of removal from oilico or disqualifying such olllcor from holding or enjoying any office of honor , profit or trust In the state , or both , may be rendered as in other cases. An impeachment against any state olllcor shall bo tried and judg ment of removal from office or of dis qualification to hold ofllco may be ren dered , notwithstanding the offense for which said officer is tried occurred dur ing a term of office immediately preced ing. " This effectually disposes of the plea that the legislature has no right to impeach members of the state board for misdemeanors committed during the term that expired in the first week in January. THE convention of the National Asso ciation of Railway Surgeons , which is to open in Omaha on May 31 , will bo one of the most important and interesting meetings of its kind ever held in this country , more than 1,000 surgeons , many of them eminent in their profes sion , having already signified their in tention to bo present. The railroad em ployes will bo particularly interested in it because some subjects of special con cern to themselves will be discussed. It often lies with the railroad surgeon to determine questions of much importance to employed who have been injured while engaged in the performance of tlu-ir duty , and who seek to recover from their employers for injuries sustained , Some of the subjects to bo discussed at the coming meeting will touch this relation of the surgeon tot the victims of railroad accidents. " Tun threat pf- the railroad managers that the reduction of local freight rates will bo followed , by the raising of the through rate on grain , cattle and other products of which Nebraska has a sur plus shouldn't frighten any member of this legislating from supporting the re vised maximum freight bill now pending in the senate. The through rates are regulated by competition at common points. The rates from Missouri river points to Chicago are uniform. The through rates to Omaha or any other Nebraska town that now has Missouri river rates cannot bo rjpsed unless the rates arc raised to every town on the Mksouri from Kansas City toSiouxCity. The railroads will notbo allowed to raise western rates to Kansas City or Siou x Citj- because the local rates in- Nebraska have boon lowered. THE people of Nebraska would like to know what has become of Mr. Mosher , and why ho has been permitted to ab scond without being interviewed by a legislative investigating committee. It is a pertinent question whether any oft'ort is to bo made to ascertain what became of the vast sum Moshor has em bezzled , and what part of the state's money was used for private speculation in collusion with state officers. The people of this state will not bo satisfied with the inoro recovery of the embez zled state fund from the bondsmen of the late treasurer , but they \\ill insist that every oftlcor who has been in collusion with Mosher shall bo impeached nnd deposed.

Republican member.of the legisla ture must make an effort to redeem the pledges matlu Jjy the party to the laborers and producers of this state In ita several platforms or bocoino re- aponslblo for Inevitable disaster. 1'urty platforms either moan something or they mean nothing. They are either an honest declaration of party principles nnd a true enunciation of pledges In favor of reforms demanded by the people ple or they are a delusion and a snare. The republican platforms of 181)0 ) , ISO I nnd 18)2 ) pledge the party to specific leglsla ion In the Interest of the laborer und p odueor. The platform of 181)0 ) contains the following plank in favor of railway regulation and the abolition of railroad pass bribery. Wo demand the reduction of freight and passenger rates on railroads to correspond with rates trow prevailing In the adjacent states to the Mississippi , and wo further demand that the legislature shall abolish ail passes and frco transportation on railroads excepting for employes of railroad com panies. The platform of 18K ! ) also pledges the party to enact laws for the regulation of elevators and the prohibition of dis crimination against any class of ship pers. The plank on this subject reads as follows ! Owners of public elevators that receive and handle grain for storage should be de clared public warehousemen and compelled under penalty to receive , store , ship and handle the grain of all persons alike , with out discrimination , the stale regulating charges for storage and inspection. All railroad companies should txs required to switch , haul , handle and receive and ship the grain of all persons , without discrimi nation. The platform of 1391 embodies the following plauk : We are heartily in favor of the general provisions of the Interstate commerce act nnd we demand the regulation of all railway and transportation lines in such a manner as to insure fair and reasonable rates to the producers ami consumers of the country. The platform of 1892upon which every republican member of the legislature was elected , reiterates the pledges mudo in the two preceding platforms in the following language : The republican narty Is the friend of labor in the factory , mill , mine and on the fi-rrn. It will at all times stand ready to adopt any measure that may Improve Its condllion or promote its prosperity. The fanners of our state who constitute the chiel element of our productive v calth creating population , are entitled to the chcap- and best facilities for storing , shipping ml marketing their pioducts , and to this end vo favor such laws as will give them cheap ] afo and easily obtained elevator and ware- lOiiso facilities , and will furnish them 'romotly ' and without discrimination just nd equitable rates , and proper transport.- ion facilities for all accessible markets. Wo demand the enactment of laws regu- ating the charges of express companies in his state to the end that such rates may bo nade reasonable. We favor- the adoption of the amendment o the constitution providing for an elective ailroad commission , empowered to llv local > asscngor and freight rates. On the question of labor and the pro- libition of Pinker-ton police the party tanda pledged in the following planks : Wo deplore the occurrence of any conlltet > etwecn labor and capital. We denounce he agitation of demagogues designed to omcnt and intensify these conflicts , atid wv nest earnestly disapprove the use of private irmed forces in any attempt to settle them. Vo believe that an appeal to the law and Us afUccrs is ample to protect property and prc- jer-vc the peace , and favor the establishment n some form of boards or tribunals of eon- ilialion und arbitration for- the peaceful settlement of dispu'cs between capital and abor touching wages , hours of labor and such questions as appert-iin to the safely and physical and moral well being of the aboriug man. Wo believe in protecting the laboring men > y all necessary and judicious legislation , urd to this end we favor the enactment of suitable laws to protect health , life and limb of all the employes of the transportation , mining and manufacturing companies while engaged in the service of such companies. Will the republican members of the egislaturo stand up for Nebraska and the republican party , and redeem the solemn pledge made to the people , or will they heed the appeals of corporation noreenaries und become recreant to their trust ? This is the last chance the republican party has for regaining popular coull- lenco. It must either keep faith with the people or disband and lot some other party aisumo the reins of power.
