AY olllcinls nro ovor-eagor to reduce the charges on freight and stock holders have no other way to restrain them than by applying for an order from the courts. Vo gods , has it come to this ! THE Manufacturers and Consumers as sociation continues to receive and act upon new applications for membership. The constant growth of this enterprising movement is encouraging uiru } in these dubious days. THE international controversy between Commlbsioner Garnean and Auditor Moore will prevent Nebraska from com peting in Bcvoral agricultural contests at the World's fair. There is cold con eolation for the public in the quarrels of its servants. Tim stagnation in Colorado mining fields is only beginning to bo felt , Stopping the earning capacity of the minors also stops tholr buying capacity , The merchants and traders cannot stanc : without customers and the announcement mont of extensive failures of retail bust- iicbsos must not bo permitted to occasion surprise. A COMMITTIM : of congress intends to report that the Potitofllco department is being conducted with an inadequate force. The foreo was just as inadequate tinder the preceding administration , bin the democratic house hud then no sucl boliciUido for that service.

The convention of the American Bi- motalllo longuo which will moot In Chi0 cngo totlny will ho largely attended and will command the attention not only of thu American people , butof all countries Interested In the sllvor question. It would bo uetos t to pretend that thla convention Is not important or that It will not exert an Inlluonco. Tholoaguo represents a very largo number of the American people and there are enrolled - rolled In It uniny able mon , not all of whom can fairly bo charged with advocating the cause of silver - vor from motives more or loss wolfish. Uoproscntlng a very extensive nnd widely distributed constituency , the action of the convention cannot fall to cxort an Inlluonco. Ono tendency It may reasonably bo expected to have Is that of encouraging the advocates of free Ilvnr in congress nnd holding them Irmly up to the conflict that awaits hem. So far as the declarations of the .con- ' are concerned it Is easy to fore- ell what they will bo. They willoppoao ho unconditional repeal of the silver mrclmso clause of the Sherman act ; they will insist that the only true solution of the currency n'oblein is to bo found in "tho 'ostorntion of silver to an equal stand * ng with gold In the mints of- the coun- , ry ; they will denounce the legislation ) f 187. ! and assert that the present move ment against silver Is a conspiracy of ; ho money power ngainst the people ; they will clnlm that it ia the constitu- , lonal duty of the government to recog- nb.o sllvor on equal terms with gold ; they will alllrm that the utilization of silver to the fullest extent in the cur- ency is desirable in order to supply the circulation necessary to do the business of the country ; they will say that if silver Is ignored tho-olTect will bo to still ftirtlier lower the price of wheat uid other agricultural products , to the serious injury of the farmers of the country ; they will demand that the ratio between gold and silver bo con tinued as at present ; and they will urge that the American people should Imvo a currency system of their own regardless of other nations and particularly of Britain. It la entirely Bafo to predict that these will bo the salient features of the plat form , which the convention of the Bi metallic league will adopt and of the address which it is expeuted to send out to the country. The American pcoplo are already familiar with every statement , assertion and claim which this convention is likely to make. The advocates of silver have nothing new to olTor in defense of their cause , and they are confronted by conditions which confute most of their arguments. All expedients to clovato silver to a parity with gold at the old ratio have failed , and the intelligent and unpreju diced judgment of the country now de mands that no further attempt bo made by legislation to bring the two motah to such an equality. Under existing law the government has for three years pur chased the silver product of this coun try , and still the price has declined. Thp treasury is glutted with silver which cannot bo made to circulate because the people do not want it. To continue pur chasing silver would inevitably result in depleting the country of gold nnd in de preciating the whole body of the remain ing currency. To make the coinage of silver free would bo to force upon the people an inferior dollar for the , solo benefit of the silver producers , who have no right to such special considera tion on the part of the government. No ono proposes the total abandonment of sllvor. It will continue to do service as currency , us it has done since the beginning of the govern ment , but under changed con ditions from these which have pre vailed for the past fifteen years. A ma jority 'of the American pcoplo have made up their minds to this as being ab solutely essential to the maintenance of t ; soutfd and stable currency and the preservation of the public credit. Wo do not apprehend that anything which the convention at Chicago may do or say will materially alTcet this decision. The work to bo done * * by the convention is already largely discounted. iMKS ur TUB LAD : The maximum freight rnto law , known as "an act to regulate railroads , to classify freights , to lix reasonable maxi mum rates to bo charged for the trans portation of freights upon each of the railroads in the stutoof Nebraska and to provide penalties for the violation of this net , " goes into effect today. Nomi nally it goes into oflect nnd attains a pluco upon the statute book ; in reality Its provisions have for the time being boon shorn of all power , and no visible change will bo accomplished by the con summation of that much contested piece of legislation. JJut tlio law exists. As yet its constitutionality has not been prejudiced , in Hplto of the temporary in junction which prevents the enforce ment of its provisions. "Every statute , " said the late Chief Justice Wulto , "is presumed to bo con- stittitloiml. The courts ought not to declare ono to bo unconsti tutional unless it is clearly so. If there is any doubt , the expressed will of the legislature should bo main tained. " The constitution of Nebraska expressly confers upon the logisluturo the power to "from time to time pass laws establishing reasonable maximum rates of charge for the transportation of passengers and freight on the different railroads in this stuto. " The oxcroiso of this power need not necessarily bo re pugnant to the constitution of the United States and if the legislature has succeeded in passing an act conbonant with that constitution the law will utand although the executive olllcors may bo temporarily enjoined from enforcing its penalties. The act remains law until declared to bo void. Every shipper has n right to damages resulting from Its violation , which right may posslblybo suspended , but cannot bo destroyed so long us the law is really a constitutional exoroitto of legislative power. In test ing its validity by injunclon the rail ways lay thembolvos liable to an accumu lation of damage suits in case the in junction it * finally dissolved. In /ucautluio , whut rates are now In I force upon Nebraska railways ? It Is not so long ago that notice \M given to the t StfttoUonrd of Transportation that nil existing tariffs would cease on August 1. j Since that tltno no further notice has boon \ given as demanded by law that any other rates than these in-cscribcd In the maximum freight rate law were to supplant them. The Injunction proceed ings j forbid the railway ofllclals to make , establish or post n schedule of rates under the < terms of that law and leaves them In a peculiar j predicament. They will , of course , continue to make the RUIHO charges that are now in force , but thcso charges have boon declared by the logls- Inturo ] to bo unreasonable and unjust. It j comes to this them that \vo have a law ] upon our statute book which pro scribes the maximum rates to bo charged for the transportation of freight bo- twcon points within this state. Wo have the enforcement of this law tem porarily enjoined by order of a federal court. We have the railways exacting charges without a legal tarilf. Tn n word , wo have a living law without the means of securing its immediate observ ance. CIMTUHK IA' Tim HOUSE. Those who remember the storm of denunciation which the democrats showered upon the rules of the Fifty- first congress , framed to allow the will of the majority to prevail , and the ubtiBO with which they persistently pursued Speaker Rood , will bo interested in the fact that the democrats who sup port the financial policy of the administration now propose the adop tion of similar rules by the Fifty-third congress in order to prevent the defeat of that policy. The democratic major ity of the last house of representatives promptly wont back to the old method , this being necessary to save the party from stultification , but the re sults were not altogether satisfactory. Democrats themselves abused the pre rogatives , the denial of which they had so rigorously denounced in the preced ing congress. Tno redoubtable Kilgoro of Texas and others brought ridicule and humiliation on the party by the free use of filibustering tactics to defeat measures objectionable to them , although of democratic origin. Numerous object lessons were furnished in the house of the lait congress in vindication of the gag rules" which enabled n republican house to make ono of the most notable records of legislative work in the his tory of congress. Possibly if the present exigency could have been foreseen the Fifty- second congress would not have "boon so ready to rebuke its prede cessor in the matter of the rules , but it was not. As soon , however , as it be came known that a democratic adminis tration and congress would have to deal with the silver question and the policy of the administration was declared , these in sympathy with that policy announced that the only hope of its success was in a change of the rules that would put an ollcotlve check upon fili bustering. At first it was proposed simply to apply to "cloture , " which would bo but ono feature , though n quite important ono , of the tules of the last republican house. It is proba ble that tfiis did not go far enough to satisfy the administration , but at any rate the further consideration of the matter seems to have led to the con clusion that a radical change from the rules of the last house will be necessary in order to prevent a protracted battle over silver. Mr. Crisp is reported to have admitted that if congress is to bo controlled and filibustering prevented , rules practically similar to these hitherto condemned would bo absolutely necessary. Mr. Cockran of New York , who will bo a very conspicuous figure in this congress , is said to bo of the sumo opinion , believ ing that it is bettor to be inconsistent and to pay tribute to the parliamentary genius and skill of the last republican speaker than to allow "tho respectable element of the democratic party to be controlled by a rabble. " If this distin guished representative of Tammany is correctly reported ho is prepared to go even further than the Reed rules went in order to insure the success of the ad ministration's financial policy. The indications nro that ox-Speaker Reed will have the gratification of see ing practically the same rules which brought upon him unstinted democratic ubusp adopted by a democratic house , nnd these who know anything of his nature can understand how ho would enjoy and appreciate such a vindication. Republican votes will probably bo required quired , however , to olToct the doslrod change , and it remains to bo soon what view the minority party in the house will tuko of their duty in the matter. It is doubtless safe to predict that they will bo found standing by the parliamentary montary record they have made. ACCOHDINO to Washington advices Speaker Crisp docs not intend to announce nounco the composition of the commit tees In the lower house of the coining congress until two weeks after it has convened , no bases his action in thi respect upon a desire to consult with the various members of congress in order to ascertain what positions they may prefer. To purmio 11 course as thus outlined savors greatly of imposing on long buffering pooplo. Judga Crisp has expected to bo re-oloctod speaker fron the ( iiiio of the democratic victory las fall. Ho lias had ample time to soloc his committees and could have Kocuroi from the various congressmen an ox proasion of their desired months ago Ho knows nnd has always known tha congress cannot do active work withou its committees , yet he proposes to act in the matter just as if ha were making up the list for the first time. A spajikor who is ro-oloctcd has no excuse for delaying laying the announcement of committee for a uiuglp day. Mil. JAMES M. GILLAN today assumes charge of the position of secretary to th Board of Education , to which ho was re cently elected. Mr. Glllun'n fumiliurit ; with thoulTulrs of the board gained by flv year's oxiHirlenco In reporting its meetings - ings for the local press enabled him to ussumo the duties devolving upon him without the preliminary schooling which woufd bo nocrusary for a man entirely tirely unacquainted with the work. Ho hn.i Imd the faculty of. holding up to the public pizo the vdvlons actions of the dllTorent members of the board without Antagonizing any ono of thorn and this flvos promise of his nbllty to continue n harmony with % PQ whoso co-opera Ion ho will require. Wo do not hesitate o assure the board that It will not bo llsappolntcd In Its niMtf secretary. IT It au Interesting fact that the finan cial disturbance in th'o United States conis not to have pWituccd the slightest effect in Canada. 'No ' Canadian bank loposltor has had the" faintest grounder or suspecting that ho might at some uturo tlmo be paid in any coin or cur- cncy not equal to gold. Neither has any capitalist feared that loans would ) o scaled or endangered by changes In .ho legal standard of values. There- 'ore ' Canada has been comparatively 'roe from distrust nnd the Industrial stagnation which lack of confidence be- jots. In every department of material dovolopnionl this country has long out stripped the Dominion nnd boon bettor prepared nnd strengthened for hard tlinos. Yet wo llnd Canada moving along In its wonted course , while the United States are under a cloud of finan cial distrust and'business depression. Of course the obvious explanation is in the bettor money system of our northern neighbors nnd the object lessen is ono which may very properly bo commended to the attention of the people who are demanding that this country shall go further along the " "mistaken road on which it has boon traveling for some years. The Canadian people may claim superiority to us in at least one respect there is no question as to the sound ness of their monetary system. The Vollovv I'uvnr Coming Tlilft Way.

There Is nothing like mn object lesson to open the eyes of tUo people to the working of n principle. For twenty-live years the Iowa republicans have been insisting that southern negroes were entitled by law to vote as freely as white men , and that this legal provision settled the question.

Of the hundred or so of national banks which have lately closed their doors , nino- tontha of them are entirely solvent. They have ample resources to meet all their lia bilities , but the best of securities cannot bo convened into money , and they were com pelled to suspend to protect their assets and their creditors. Already some of the banks which suspended have rosnmcd , and it is entirely safe to say that no more than ono In ton will fail to resume on an entirely solvent basis. It is snfo to say , also , that of the few that will not resume , a majority of thorn would have been entirely solvent under any ordinary conditions of business und values. A Unit fur ICepoal.
