THE way to relieve the unemployed is to give those who are willing1 to work Bomothing to do. CONPiDBNcn is returning. The in creasing list of marriage licenses is an Unfailing indication. THE World's fair directors cannot af ford to have any dishonest on bribe-tak ing judges on their court of awards. DEBATE hi the House of Lords does not indicate n very widespread disposition to yield to the wishes of the House of Commons in relation to the homo rule bill. THE interminable controversy be tween Auditor Moore and Commissioner Garnoau has at last gotten into the courts. Now for u speedy and final de cision. " " BY PLACING the balance of power in the committco on rules the democrats in the lower house of congress appear to display a deep-seated distrust in their speaker. FIUCK is an unfortunate name at this time for any candidate , li recalls too vividly the man who fortified Carna- ffte's castle nnd imported Pinkortona into Homestead. IT is certainly an anomaly in the law that imprisons those Missouri judges who refuse to order the levy of a tax to pay for bonds donated for a railroad that was never constructed. IT IS bad enough for railroad managers - agors to tamper with legislatures , but when it comes to packing the supreme court the people may as well surrender the whole state government to their tender - dor mercies. How DO honest republicans of Ne braska like the Hhamolcss abuse of Judge Maxwell by the Fremont railroad organ that calls the chief justice of this state , who-has lived in Nebraska thirty-seven years , a political carpot-baggor ? LATEST rumor has it that _ the presi dent intends to appoint William B. Hornblowor of Now York to the , vacancy on the bench of the United States supreme premo court , in whoso favor some of the other prominent candidates are said to have withdrawn. MISSOURI is getting after the bogus bond swindles with it sharp stick. Ne braska authorities can earn popular ap proval by immediately instituting pro ceedings against the companies that are preying upon our citizens. Their pres ent inaction is inexcusable. IT is now announced that Millie Christine , the two-headed woman , la to bo one of the great attriiutions at the Nebraska state fair. If the management can only secure the presence ot our esteemed double-ontler , its collection of bipartite wonders will bo unexcelled. THE word of President Clark of the Union Paoillo ought to bo pretty good authority lei the assurance that the pres ent retrenchment in the wages of its em ployes is to continue only until the re stored busino-'s of the road will permit a return tJ the previous schedule of sal aries. ANOTHER long-felt want has been sup- pllt l in the ranks of Omaha newspapers under the nauio of l'opuli tL Its editor ana publisher , George W. Drowsier , is a veteran printer well known to the craft of this city as u vigorous exponent of the financial vlows of the groou- backers and populists. Now THAT-tho banks have shown their ability to withstand all pressure people who have boon frightened into hoarding money und keeping it stored in safety deposit vaults or hidden in old stock ings will Had it to their nil vnuUigo to re- dopoalt In the banks , muko it earn in terest and give it a ohanco to circulate. IN BELUOTING Mr. D , Clem Doavor as chairman of their state contra ! commit tee the populists have conferred a de served compliment. Mr , Doavor boa for ycura boon n hard wprkor in their cause , and while wo differ with him radically on many issues , wo regard him as u man ivho has the oouragu of bis convictions , Not content with having hnd the max imum freight rate law hung up In the federal courU , the railroads doom de termined that no legislation onnoted In the Interest of the people by their representatives in the last legislature shall over rccolvo the force of law. The point of attack has now boon shifted to the transtor switch law , which was Intended to rollovo shippers from sending their goods over a line longer than the shortest distance by rail between the points of consignment. The transfer switch law requires all railroads operating in the etato touching nt common points or at s'omo near point , whore freight is received and delivered , to build nnd maintain switches for their common use in transferring freight in carload lots from ono line to the other. The roads are enjoined under heavy penalties to construct those switches nnd to give shippers a through way bill to the place of destination , charging there for a rate no higher than the sum of the local rates on the connecting lined. The law went ostensibly into force on August I , but the penalties wore not to attach until after the lapse of .sixty days granted the roads to bring before the Hoard of Transporta tion Applications for exemption from its provisions at particular points whore its enforcement would bo unusually burden some , and hcnco unjust nnd unreason able. It was evidently under n misappre hension of the law that complaint was made n few weeks ago before the board by certain citizens who sought to com pel the roads to put in a switch as con templated by the law. The law im poses a duty upon the railroads without further -action on the part of shippers , unless the railroads are exempted by the order of the State Board of Trans portation. When , then , the Burling ton comes as it does before the board and asks to bo excused from living up to the provisions of the law in relation to switches at sixty- throe points , it is practically seeking to nullify the whole law , nnd it behooves the interested shippers to look out for their rights. It is highly probable that those sixty-thrco points specified in the petition include most , if not all , of the places whore the Burlington would be compelled under the law to construct switches for the benefit of their patrons. If so , the legislature could have jjpeeiflc- ally exempted that road if it did not in tend thafc the law should apply to it. The petition of the Burlington may bo ex pected to bo followed by similar petitions from every other railroad operating within the state , and if ono is entitled to relief , all will claim the same treat ment. As we have said before , it rests with the Board of Transportation to make this law a reality or a living farce. The responsibility of its enforce ment can not bo shifted by them. Unless they act honestly by the people in this instance the abolition of a board that haa become notorious a ? a more puppet of the railroads will be the first work of the next legislature. Sinn QVKSTIUA'S UKVUKK CONORKSS. The present' " congress will have a number of important questions to con sider besides those relating to the cur rency and the tariff. The democrats hove already given notice of their in- tontirn to repeal the federal election laws. A bill for this purpose intro duced by Senator Hill otNow York was favorably reported to the senate by the judiciary committee last week , so that it is likely to take a conspicuous place in the deliberations of the senate very soon after the sil ver question is disposed of. A similar measure will bo introduced in the house , and as the democrats in both branches -are ot course unanimous in favor of such legislation its ultimate adoption is assured. It is not expected that it will bo opposed by the republi cans generally , though undoubtedly some of them will make a vigorous fight against it. As a mutter of fact the fed eral election laws have for years' boon Inoperative in the section of the country where they wore , intended to secure citizens their political rights. The house committee on the election of president , vice president and repre sentatives in congress contemplates" reporting several measures of general interest relating to matters within its jurisdiction. Ono of those will bo a bill changing the time for the mooting of congress , The constitution provides that congress shall assemble at least once in every year and that such moot ing shall bo.on . the first Monday in December unless congress shall by law appoint a different day. Full authority is thus given to congress to change the appointed day of mooting , but though frequently urged to do BO It has never exercised the authority. There are cogent reasons in favor of n change , but whether they will prove to bo moie effective with the present than with post congresses is a ques tion. The indisposition to depart from n practice which has prevailed from the beginning of the government is strong nnd very dllllcult to overcome. Two other contemplated changes could only bo effected by amendments to the con Btltution. Quo of those relates to the election of United States senators and the other to the term of the president and vice president. The constitution provides that the senate shall bo com posed of two senators from each state chosen by the legislature thereof. There is a very strong and growing Hentimont in the country in favor of the election of senators by tlm people , and If an amendment to the constitution pro viding for the popular election of sena tors were submitted to the legislatures of the Btatoa It is highly probable that the neoojsary throe-fourths of them would ratify it. The people ought to bo given an opportunity to pay whether' or not they desire tmch u change , but it Is hardly probable that at this time two- thirds of the senate that nurobor in both houses being necessary 11 propose an amendment could bo induced to ugroo to the reform. It will undoubt edly coma in time , but not from tlm present congress. "With regard to the lOM presidential term , it is proposed to make it blx yours und to provide that Itr the president shall bo ineligible for > re-election for the next succeeding term. There is a great deal to bo said in favor , at jnioh. acbABRB , . and it Is not to be doubted that its proposal would receive very general approval , as would another looking to the election of president nnd vice president by the popular vote direct Instead of through the anomalous and cumbersome method of the electoral colleges. The consideration of tbcso questions will give congress and the country something to think about which will nt any rnto relieve the monotony of finan cial and economic discussion. jv/cir / The conference hold last Saturday be tween the president , Secretary Carlisle , Speaker Crisp and two members of the house committee on banking nnd cur rency In reference to formulating a bill to reorganize the national banking sys tem so that atnto banks may bo em braced , has attracted a good deal of at tention. It is interesting and important ns indicating the solicitude of the ad ministration to satisfy the popular de mand for more currency , and also ns showing a desire on the part of the president not to entirely disregard tho- demand , of a very largo element of his party that the state banks shall bo accorded the right to issue currency. Tlioro Is rcnson to believe that Mr. Cleveland docs not favor a repeal ot the tax on state bank issues by which such banka would bo loft free to omit notes subject only testate state regulation , but ho is probably enough in sympathy with the state rights idea In connection with this matter - tor to desire that the state banks shall not bo loft in their present position. What may bo done to trlvo them a bet ter standing , so far as that ia-dopond- ont upon the prlvil6go of issuing cur rency , scorns to haVe been the principal object of last Saturday'SiConfcrenoo. Reports as to what transpired at this meeting differ somewhat , but alLagroo that nothing was decided upon , only the general outline of a plan for u reorgan ization of the entire banking system so ns to include state banks being con sidered. It is understood that nnothor conference will bo hold , with a larger number of financiers in attendance , in cluding Mr. Vborbccs nnd Mr. Springer , chairmen respectively of the sonata finance committco and thc , house committee on banking and currency , at which it is expected a definite plan will bo agreed upon to bo formulated into a bill for submission to congress. . Unless something bettor is proposed than the plan which is said to nnvo boon out lined at last week's ' conference there is no probability that the further consid eration of the matter by the president and those whom ho may invite to confer with him will amount to anything. Any scheme which proposes state bank issues under federal control must fail , for obviously the proposi tion defeats itself. A "stato bank under federal supervision would ba a blank contradiction , and it is certain that no such arrangement would bo ac cepted or tolerated by the sticklers for state rights. Does anybody suppose that the southern states would allow federal bank examiners to inspect the affairs of banking institu'tionsjtliat obtaine'd'tnoir charters from the states ? There are several very weak features of the plan reported to have been considered at the conference , but the ono above referred to is perhaps the weakest. At any rate , it is enough alone to defeat the plan. There can bo no compromises or make shifts so far as the question of state bank issues is concerned. Either the tux which prevents such issues must be maintained or the states loft en tirely free to authorize the .issue of notes by state banks under whatever regulations or conditions the legisla tures may provide. The matter does not admit of any juggling , and if Mr. Cleveland wants to please the state rights clement of his party the only way ho can do it is to favor ropeal'-of. the 10 per cent tax. This he will probably not do. THK order of the secretary of the treasury directing1 the manning ; of the mints at Philadelphia and San lOrancisco to their full capacity and tbo coinage of gold as fast as possible shows that' tho' ' treasury intends to bo prepared , to use its gold reserve to whatever extent maybe bo nncessary to moot the obligations of the government. Nearly all of this reserve - servo is in the form of bullion , and if the United States notes were not ( to. ho de prived of their usual support"and ? the reserve wore to bo maintained , thtsspoclo would not bo coined. In tha.orm of bars the gold is easier to handle and store than it will bo when minted , and the loss from abrasion is rod need to a minimum. The coinage of this"rosorvo iseviderico that the secretary"oxpecta that It will bo needed to pay tlio de mands upon the government and implies that it will ho jtho pollcj of thfTtroasury to use it for this purpose. There Is no legal obstacle to this being done and If the purchase of silver is discontinued it is not apparent that ony harm could re sult from using the reserve in this way. At any rate the government could not , without damage to 1U credit , allow its obligations to KO unpaid while holding this gold. There is a heavy dollcit In prospect and Secretary Carlisle is tak ing timely .precaution. Congress ought to llml a way to ohvluto the necessity of making any serious Inroad upon the gold rofcorvov lawyers who nsplro to honors on the supreme bench of this state may as well curb their ambition und wuit until the bench is enlarged by constitutional amendment. Judge Max well will either succeed himself or bo succeeded by the populist candidate. Tltis is not only the trend of public sentiment , but also the inevitable consequence quence of the hostility of the state house boodlors to Maxwell nnd the activity of the railroad politicians to have him retired and superseded by a man of their own stripe. THUS far the tariff hearings before the ways and means committee have elicited nothing of any vuluo to the work which the committee has In hand und the promise that much of import ance will bo elicited does not improve. We have learned that the Bermuda pro ducers of onions want the duties taken off , which is not surprising- view of tlio fact that he , , producer has to pay the duty , and th/s / j about' the only in- formatlonj if it fcan bo BO termed , that has boon ob fjiod.

There wus a precedent which the demo crats felt it would be inexpedient to gnoro altogether , but they do not propose - pose to devote much time or trouble in hewing respect for it. EX-SENATOR JAMES UAIUAN of Iowa declines to endorse the citizens' move- nont for prohibition in that state be cause ho sees that it is simply n useless implication in the political situation designed to throw the contest to the democrats. The aged ex-sonator will not bo led astray from the republican principles to which ho boa nlwnys sub scribed. Neither will the great mass of Iowa republicans. SENATOR.TKLLKR. asks for sympathy for his follow senator , Mr. Stewart of Nevada , who was compelled to remain on his feet ever four hours while ad dressing the senate on the repeal bill the other day. In this case it would bo inucn more appropriate to request sym pathy for the poor senators who were compelled to listen to four hours of Senator Stewart's ' silver grind.

A I'EVL'LK'S COUltT. - How ItallrouUs Itlvotoil n Cinch on the ConrtH of Illinois. Chicago Herald : Failure of the legislature to pass any law directly inimical to railroader or other powerful , corporations has left the poor people of this state more abjectly than ever at the mercy of these- remorseless organizations. They co'iitmuo to take life nt grade crossings in collisions caused by the criminal ucglcKanco or their agents and iu consequence of their own niggardliness in providing adequate safeguards , mechanical and human. If 'they take life the highest sum a Jury can assess Is $5,000. From that verdict or any less than that they can appeal to the appellate court , The plalutift is generally poor. He has not , or- his wretched orphans and widow have not , the means wherewith to pursue the defendant to the end of the Judicial road. Lawyers must live by their profession. If poor people hire them they must pay for pro fesslonal'servico. The problem now is to so- euro Justice for poor people , at least approx imately , without the interposition and con sequent compensation of lawyers. A line piece of work was done by corpora tion agents in the construction of tbo appel late court ot Illinois. Its magnitude and sig nificance have thus faroscaped appreciation. If a Jury give in a damage. case a hltrhcr sum to thn heirs of a victim wboso lifo was taken or to the -victim himself , in cases ot bodily injury , than the corporation bo disposed to pay , tbo corporation takes the issue to the appellatecourt. . That court , on a ques tion of merely improper Instruction by the trial Judge , may sot the Judgment aside ; but if the reversal bo against the plaintiff ho cannot go over that court to the supreme court , whllo the defendant , if the reversal be against it , can go "over the appellate court to tho- supreme court and drag the poor plaintiff through nuothcr year or two of want. When at Icugth tbo case is settled a largo proportion of the cash Dually collected must go for counsel feus and costs. Can any rational and honest man under stand why the corporation should have this second right of appeal and the individual it has injured or ruined have not the same right ? A shrewder tilt of corporation lawmaking - making never was accomplished. wanted , for the simplification of such suits Is a people's court without law yers. Under tbo HOW statute covering costs of beginning suits , if a plaintiff swear ho is too poor to'jiav the $10 required bo is en titled to have his case entered without cost. This Is a sound principle under our constitu tion , which declares that every person ought to obtain by law "right anu Justice freely , without being obliged to purchase it , com pletely and without denial , promptly and without delay. " But the constitutional maxim lacks com plete fulfillment. There ought to bo ono court In every county wh'cra a layman can state his own case , present his witnesses at the state's expense for examination by a Just and fearless judge , and secure Justlco with' out the present cumbersome , costly and dlla tory process. The public administrator or some person acting In such capacity should bo the representative of plaintiffs who nmlco oaths that they are paupers nnd ennnoc , hlro counsel to proseuutu their rlt'hts. The pre siding Juu o should be un interlocutor of all parties , seeking only truth and Justlco Im partially between them. In case the parties to such actions before such a court preferred reference of thorauso to u board , nay of three arbitrators , the Hud- ing of such a board should bo Jlnal on tioth sides. - * - Scarcity or Puriii I.nlior. uU Vrtt I'reti. From all over the country has como the cry that harve&t hands are scarce. In many sections old men , woman und children were called upon to help gather the crops because ublo-bodied laboring men were not to bo had. This is a state of affairs which should not exist when there are so many wurkingmen idlo. Instead of the distribution of labor which should exist In a country of our vast extent nnd varied resources , this class of population Is largely congested In our great cities and manufacturing centers. It Is among the evils fostered by a protective system which attracts capital to the Held whoroltia favored , stalls the enterprises which employ labor , stimulates production beyond the demands of consumption and , when orders ccasu to como in , throws hun dreds and thousands out of employment.

' St. Louis Republic : No matter what the fact , the Impression must remain that Dr. ( iraves has convicted himself. Buffalo Express : It Is a pity that men like Dr. T. Thatcher Graves do not commit sulcido before they commit murder. Chicago Post : Dr. Graves possibly did the wisest nnd most comfortable thing for himself , but as for convincing unsentimental folk of hlslnnoconco thereby that isanother matter. Denver Republican : This nnto-mortom appeal will not tend to reverse tlio popular opinion that Dr. Graves was guilty. His channel of escape from the final determin ation of his case confirms all of the damag ing testimony which preceded the act of self- destruction. It reveals the fact that chief among his accusers was his own conscience and that the knowledge of his own crime be came , in the end , moro than he could bear. The wicked heart could no longer keep its own secret. In words which DanlelAVobstor has mudo immortal , "tbero was no refuge but suicide , and suicide is confession. " in it Truth !
