TUB Illinois legislature is about to
ndjourn , and , us is usually the case in
all similar bodies , the committees' desks
are stuffed with the multifarious tele
phone , gas and electric lighting and
other corporation bills introduced in
either house during tlio session and thus
finally disposed of.
A QIIAVI : responsibility will rest upon
Nebraska's htato ollleials in the matter
of the sale of the Saline lands as pro
vided by tlio act of tlio last legislature.
The lands in question are the most valu
able now owned by the state and proper
stops should bo taken to see that a fair
price ia obtained for them.
AHOUT every day for three weeks the
Washington reporter of a Lincoln paper
has stated , afllrmed , reiterated and in
sisted that Secretary Morton controls
the ofllciul patronage of Nebraska. 1 ;
the claim is true , why is it necessary to
inako it incessantly , and who cures
whether it bo true or not ? It has
whiskers.
PKESIDKXT CLKVK AN'O complains
that his time is almost entirely occupied
in listening to applications for olllco
which htivo boon "bewildering in
volume , perplexing and exhausting in
their iteration and imponsibleof remem
brance. " Euclid Martin and the con
tending factions from Nebraska evi
dently have much to answer for.
TUB people of Nebraska euro very little -
tlo whether tlio suit , against ex-State
Treasurer Hill and his bondsmen is
prosecuted in Douglas or Lancaster
county. They are , however , very nuum
interested in the attempt of Governor
Crounso to recover the quarter of a mil
lion of tlio state's money lost in the col
lapse of the Capital National bank.
CONOIIKSSMAX UHYAI and the other
free silver patriots who are endeavoring
to propagate a now species of democracy
in Nebraska are receiving little counte
nance and less comfort from the admin
istration. If there is to bo a recasting
of democratic principles in the north
western states , the president is evidently
determined to superintend the work in
person.
WK hope that the question as to who ,
among loading democrats , 1ms most In-
lluouco at the white hotifo , will soon bi :
determined. The situation must be onv
barrassing to olllco seekers. If one ties
up with the Morton-Castor faction ho IE
likely to meet with opposition from the
other side , nnd vlco versa. In behalf ol
harmony and a united democracy we
plead for a cessation of horse play. II
lias become painful.
TUB supervisors of San Bernardino
county , California , have resorted to n
novel , and what will doubtless prove 11
rather unpopular device , to protect the
forests and water supply. The doprodn-
tionsofsheop is the evil against which
they seek to guard. An ordinance has
boon adopted imposing a license tax ol
$500 for the ilrst 5,000animals , and SoO pot
thousand above that number. However
effectual this may prove In saving the
young trees and protecting the streams
from contamination , it will probably as
effectually put an end to the sheep
Ing industry in that region.
NKltllASKA. DAY AT THK FAW.
Juno 8 has boon designated by the
World's fair management as Nebraska
day. Doforo that tlmo the exhibit of
.hlsfltato will be In perfect shnpo and it
is expected that by the beginning of next
month the entire exposition will bo
complete and that the Hood of visitors
will have fully set In. It is also proba
ble that in the early part of Juno the
weather will not bo oppressive and that
i visit to the fair will bo much more on-
loyablo than later in the summer. On
ovorj account the date fixed for Ne
braska day seems auspicious.
From an Interview with Commissioner
Garncati there appears to bo every rea
son to o.xpoct that the Nebraska display
will bo highly creditable to the state , so
fur as agricultural products are con-
corned. There appears to bo some
doubt us to whether the live stock ex
hibit will .bo aa extensive as could bo
desired , owing to a lack of money ,
but an effort is to bo made to do
something that will enable the live
stock interest to muko a bolter display
than now booms probable , and for this
purpose a mooting will bo hold at Lin
coln on May -0. It is very much to bo
hoped that tills will result in devising
means for giving tlio live stock industry
such prominence in connection with the
Nebraska exhibit as its Importance
merits. A poor showing in this respect
would do the state no good , and indeed
it might bo better to htivo none at all.
The C'jinmUsioncr nays ho will bo able
to provide some additional money for
this interest , but not such an amount ns
it should htivo. It would seem that
there ought not to bo any great dilll-
eulty in securing whatever mini
may bo necessary to insure a Jlrst rate
exhibit of live stock.
Nebraska day , the commissioner says ,
will offer some special attractions , which
will bo appreciated by Nebraskans and
interesting to all visitors to the fair.
Tlio program has not yet been fully ar
ranged , but its announcement will un
doubtedly bo made in duo time , so that
the people of this state may know what
to expect. It is to bo presumed that
most Nebraskans who contemplate an
early visit to the fair will make it a
point to IKJ present on the day do.sig-
nated for this state , partly from a fool
ing of patriotic duty and partly for tlio
reason that It is hardly possible for the
exposition to bo in perfect condition
much before that date. At any
rate there ought to bo , and
n all probability will be , a representa
tion of Nebrasktins at the fair on Juno 8
so largo as to amply attest the pride
which our people fool in their state.
Perhaps nothing in connection with the
exhibit will do more to commend Ne
braska to the favorable consideration of
visitors to the fair from other states
than would the presence on this occa
sion of a largo body of our representa
tive citizens , showing in their manner
and their appearance tlio unmistakable
evidence of prosperity , comfort and hap
piness. _
GAl'l'l'.iL LE.iriXd hANSAS.
A Boston investment company which
has for years been doing business in
Kansas has withdrawn its capital from
that htato. It is said that other com
panies have already followed its exam
ple or contemplate doing so as soon in
they can close up existing linunciul ar
rangements. The reason for this is that
the last legislature adopted laws which
those companies deem to bo inimical to
their interests. Ono of these laws pro
vides that when the mortgaged prop
erty of a debtor shall bo sold by the
sheriff the debtor shall have eighteen
months after the Halo for redemption
from the purchaser. Tlio other law
prohibits all contracts for the payment
of debts in gold.
Referring to this legislation , the Phila
delphia Record observes as to the first of
these laws , that so fur from protecting
the debtor , it will bo llkoly not only to
depreciate the value of his mortgaged
property , but to diminish his opportun
ities for obtaining credit. There will
not bo much activity in the competi
tion of purchasers at sheriff's tales
for property for which they can
not obtain a title until eighteen
months after the sale , if then , nor
will money bu loaned with the condition
that it cannot bo collected when duo.
Such a law "must w.irk injury to tlio
debtor by lessening his moans of b'lrrow-
ing money and inereiuing the difficulty
in disposing of his mortgaged property
at itu value. " As to the law prohibiting
contracts for the payment of debts in
gold , the Itirnnl remarks that Its worst
olTects would fall up m the needy bor
rower , because ' 'tho lender would bo
deterred from investing his mcnoy under
a law prohibiting its repayment in
standard coinage , or ho would cotnpon-
Htito himself for the risk of pay
ment in depreciated curroney by
charging a usurious rate of internal. In
either cuso the chief effect of this legis
lation is to injure instead of to protect
the b H'rowor. "
There can bo no question regarding
the soundness of UIQ.JO prop isltions , aii'l '
n thing is niDro oartain than that every
farmer In Kansas who has to borrow
niJiioy will discover that the lojisluUon
adopted with the idea of uiving him pi-o-
teet.l'ti will operate to his disadvantage.
Tlio agricultural b imwws of Kun-xj :
must look to outside KnulotMt ) supply
their iliuincitil noj Is. Tivjro Is
not homo capital enough to do tills. Cjm-
petition batwoon investment ojmpaulo-j
representing custom capital has boon
to the tulvuntago of borrowers in rod tic-
lug the rate of Interest. Tlio with
drawal of thee companloj from the
state will louvo the field tj the Uiuro.-d
and the Kansas farmers who are com
pelled to borrow money will bo vic
timized. There is n > o cupo from thu
situation under the operation of the ia
laws , and It is safe t j predict that it
will not bo long before thoro-wlll ba a
very vlglrous outcry from a largo part
of the farm owners of Kansas against
this mistaken legislation , which
so plainly antagonizes every sound
financial and business principle
that it is dlfiloult to under-
staufl how any bady of men of fair Intel-
llgenuo could bj Induced to ndjpt It.
Bbbrusku narrowly oacapod legisla
tion of a Hoinewhut similar character
tw years ago , but fortunately there.
vTDro nnn enough In the party whleh
ton controlled the legislature who hu < i
l&a practical common souse to under
stand what the inevitable con-mquoncoa
would bo and to avert the danger. The
farmers of Kansas will speedily have
cause to regret that there wore not such
mon. or enough of them , in thu party
that controlled the last legislature of
that stato.
.t
l-Yoni all accounts the administration
nnd Its export advisors are giving as
siduous attention to the fiscal problem.
It appears that the most perplexing
question confronting thorn is how to re
form the tariff and meet the largo ex
penditure for pensions without the imposition -
position of new taxes , either upon coffee
and sugar or upon incomes. Although
there is much democratic advocacy of
duties on colTeo and sugar , the ad
ministration Is naturally reluctant to
take tlio responsibility of taxing the
"poor mail's breakfast table , " forte
to however moderate an extent
this might bo done It would
assuredly ho resented at the first oppor
tunity. Nobody understands this batter
than Secretary Carlisle , who is pre
sumed to have presidential aspirations ,
and who is consequently anxious to avoid
tills backward stop in the fiscal policy of
the government , which tlio party out of
power would take the fullojt possible ad
vantage of. As to an income tax , which
also has some democratic advocates , the
trouble is that it has heretofore been op
posed by tlio democracy. That party
held in tlio past that such a tax was
not only inquisitorial and essentially un
just In its operation , but that there was
no authority in the government to levy
it , and one of its most honored states
men , Samuel J. Tildon , always evaded
it. The record of the party is thus
against nu income tux.
According to what appears to bo a
trustworthy report , it is proposed to
Hepurato tlio customs duties on liquors
and tobacco from those on other articles
and not to reduce the duties on thcso
luxuries except for the purpose of in
creasing the revenue. The tobacco duty
under the present law does not yield as
much revenue us under the old law and
it may be somewhat reduced wuh a view
t' > increasing the receipts. This is true
of spirits and possibly of wines. Tlio high
est revenue duties on these articles will ,
it is said , bo retained , without scruple as
to their protective tendency , although
to do this would of course not bo con
sistent witli tlio national platform. It
is understood , however , thatthatdeclara-
tion will not play a very important part
in determining the policy to be pursued
in the effort to solve the tariff reform
problem.
There is one point in connection with
this matter , which seems to bo conceded ,
and it is a very important one to the
manufacturing interests of the country.
This is that oven a special session of
congress next September cannot
enact a tariff bill to go into
olTect much earlier than the sum
mer of next year. It may bo practica
ble to put some of the .schedules into ef
fect at un earlier date , but the greater
part of a reform tariff bill would have
to remain inoperative until far into next
year , in order to glvo manufacturers an
opportunity to avail themselves of free
raw materials , or do them a serious in
justice by compelling them to compote
with foreign goods at reduced duties before
fore they have such opportunity.
SALK OF nit ! HAIAA'K
Ono of the most important dn'.ics to bo
performed by tlio Board of Educational
Lands and ? unds in the near future is
tlio disposal of the saline lands belong
ing to tlio &tato , as provided by recent
act of the legislature. While it is well
understood that the law providing for
the sale of thcso landa was urged upon
the legislature by tlio parties directly
interested in their purchase , the advisa
bility of selling them will hardly bo
questioned. After repeated attempts ,
both upon the part of the state and by
private individuals , and after the
expenditure of thousands of dollars
lars of tlio state's funds , it lias
neon amply demonstrated that the saline
springs can novcr bo made the basis of a
great commercial industry. The brine
from the springs is entirely too weak to
make Iho munufauturo of salt a profita
ble industry , and consequently the lands
which surround tlio springs are worth no
more to the state on thutaeuiunt than
any other tracts of educational lands.
The lands are oxtronnly valuable on
unothor account , Irnvevor. Tlio legis
lature authorized tlio sale of the unsold
portions of five section * , and the lands
embraced within those hcctiom are lo
cated almost within the limits of the
prosperous city of Lincoln. Sumo of
them have boon leaded for a period of
fifty years and are covered with
extensive packing houses and
stock yards. The city of West
Lincoln , which , in a nndoat way at
least , is claiming the advantages of a
live stock market for all interior No-
brnska points , Is located adjacent to and
upon thcso lands. The greater part of
another section is included in the con-
lines of the now pletvju ' 0 resurt known
as Burlington beach , whioh in the sum
mer months Is vUited daily by thousands
of people. Taeso lands are extremely
valuable to tlio great corporations now
controlling thorn , not on account of the
extensive improvements which they
htivo placed upon thoni , but oololy by
reason of their ojnvonlonco of access to
the city of Linouln. They are Hanked
on either side by great universities and
educational Institutions and uvo stic-
rounded with computing lines of rail
roads.
Taking those farts intu consideration ,
the responsibility resting upon the
board Is apparent. The state is entitled
to and should receive a fair market
value for these hinds , and It will ba the
duty of Iho bard tofoo to it that they
are apprainod at something like their
real worth. The necessity for vlgllanco
on the part of the board is greater from
the fact that local Influeneos will doubt
less have much to d > with the appraise
ment , as it will have to bo made by tlu
commissioner of Lancaster county. On
this account the bjurd should not only
oxorclso duo vigilance , but should , il
uooessary , reject the appraisement If it
is plucod at s-j low a flgiiro in t ) suggiwt
questionable methods In placing a rea
sonable value on the lands.
Upon Gjvornor t'roun-u and the com'
of public lunJa and
will rest another and pi-rlmr * greater ro-
fllKinslblllty. 'Woy are the only oftlclaU
ciiiiiowcroil hjj law to ulijn thu clceils for
the traiiHfor 3 > fihe , lauds from the utato
to the purelwiers , mul they Bhoultl not
hesitate to ri l\iso to execute any deed In
which the e tloratlon Is manifestly
and unreasonably low. The people ? will
uphold them IfVhny stand they may scent
nt to take In ureler to protect the Inter
ests of tlio stutii.
TllK fact thnjt''Undor ' the law passed by
the last legislature of South Dakota the
entire suprciuo jiourt , as well as till of
the cfrcttlt court justices , are to bo
elected this your is exciting considera
ble of a flutter among the lawyers of
that Htato. Otherwise there is little
public interest taken In the approach
ing conventions to nominate candidates
for these offices. That the supreme
court and a majority of the circuit court
jtidget will bo chosen by the republi
cans is a foregone conclusion , and the
democrats are not generally oven sug
gesting : the names of their probable can
didates. The republicans have the
three present incumbents of the supreme
premo bench as aspirants for re-election ,
and there is not a circuit judge in the
state who would not bo willing tolbo
promoted to the position. Out of the
large number of available jurists of re
publican faith in the state the warty
should bo able to select able and availa
ble men for these important judicial
offices.
IT IS a mistake to attempt totiresorvo
the reputation of any political party by
concealing frauds and wrong-doings of
public olllcors who are regarded as the
representatives of that party. To oven
oppose objections to a proposed investi
gation is to suggest the probable desira
bility of such an investigation. An hon
est official feels no apprehension when
an investigation of his public acts is
talked of. Men who have done no wn ng
know , as the entire public understands ,
that an investigation of their official
conduct can only place them on a higher
piano for recognition by the people.
Popular judgment in this country is em
inently just and equitable.
TiiBnio is no justice in the system that
prevails at Washington of withholding
from deposed ollleials knowledge of the
charges under which they were removed.
Why should a man deemed worthy of
appointment to olllciul responsibility bo
deprived of the privileges allowed mon
in private employ ? If a republican olllco
holder is removed simply to make way
for a democrat , ' why not lot that fact bo
announced and'bo done with it. Such a
course would bo.fur preferable to that of
branding 11 intiuius dishonorable before
his neighbors without giving him an op
portunity to defend himself when at
tacked from the ambush.
THK delusion that any workingman in
the United Stated may liavo indulged
that Hawaii might prove a good place
for an industrioiW man to emigrate to ,
will probably bo dispelled by what Mr.
Charles NordofT writes of the islands.
The Chinese , Jivpunose and Portuguese
monopolize all tlie labor there and much
of the small businos * and trading , Tlio
United StatOJ after all offers the best
opportunity in the world for the labor
ing man , whatever mule intent ) may
say to tlio contrary.
TllBilB seems to be u singular coin-
denco in the fact that many ol the re
publican newspapers in the state that
are complaining so bitterly of tlu insuf
ficiency of the appropriations for the
maintenance of the state institutions
are tlio oni's which are loudest in their
defense of the state ollleials whose care
lessness enabled men like Dorgun ,
Lauor , llubbard and Bolts to defraud
the state on tlio contracts for furnishing
supplies to those same Institutions.
FOR the second time the grand jury is
investigating the conduct of the men
who for years systematically swindled
the state out of thousands of dollars on
the asylum and penitentiary contracts.
It is a matter of uungrutitlution that the
evidence against those men is as strong
and conclusive today as it was last De
cember when they wore indicted by the
first grand jury. There is no likelihood
of their escape from the consequences of
their crimes.
THK managers of Nebraska railroads
have but two months in which to readjust -
just their fi'oitrht schedules to the provi
sions of the bill pu-i.sod by the last legis
lature. Nothing but a fair trial of the
new rates will satisfy the people of the
state as to their justness. An evasion of
tlio law by an appeal to the courts on
questions of technical constitutional
points will reopen the agitation foi
lower rates with more vehemence than
ovor.

Sunday was made for man , not man for
Sunday. Man is older than Sunday and of
much nioro Importance th in any day In the
wci-k. The open fair will not deprive any
person of the privileges of worship. If It
were to do that the Sunday closing question
would bo important. If the public does not
want to visit tlte fair on Sunday tlio fact
will soon come out ; and if the public does
want to visit It , and does visit it , it has ns
much right to spend the day there as any
where. The good people of this world arc
not always wise. They sciaetimes mistake
superstition for religion and routine living
for morality. Lot the - ' : ) have their way
about visiting the fair any day of the week.
for tlio spectacle will bo inspiring and in
structive. Uesldes , the precim-ts of the fair
will be strictly ordered and misbehavior will
meet a piompt remedy.

The women mean well and are doing their
best to accomplish a shilling result for their
sox. but tlio facts go to show with sad
emphasis that nature will not allow them to
llvo up to the opportunity which the govern
ment has generously provided for them.
They can manage men with tears , but not
one another. The woman who weeps to con
quer wlieiv women are concerned Invite i
certain disappointment. Tliey all unclor-
.stand that triulc and tire not to bo caught by
It. Tlio trouble is that they h.ivu nothing
moro effective to substitute- this process
when they come to deal with matters outside
of the sphere of domestic controversy. Their
emotional equipment , whleh serves them so
well in prlvato life , is found to oo a hind-
ranee rather than a help to them in imder-
ta'tlnss of a public character. They are
rganizcd to win social triumphs easily , but
It seems to be otherwise with regard to
their adaptability to the duties and respon
sibilities of other forms of activity and
conquest.
