Speaker Crisp Is dally demonstrating the
fact that the dcm.oer.itli ! party cannot afford
to promote htm to a place In the senate so
long as It retains a majority in the lower

Speaker Crisp's neat turn on the question
of overriding the president's veto of the

Are not midnight hold-ups nml burglnrlcs

Omaha wants factories , shops and mills.

shops and mills will bo welcome any time

The public reception to Hon. George W.

a fitting recognition of the services which

MrlkpM or violent mem-urea.
The employes MII | at every point. Their
rourai' In appealing to the court for protec
tion against an arbitrary rcJuct'on of wages
lsxvlndleated by the opinion of Judge Cald-
well. Or , nil her , Is approved n.s the only
proper cotlrss for them to have pursued. The
results certainly justify the faith which they
placed In the disposition of the judgei to
listen car'fully lo their petition and to mcto
out to them exact Junllro In niic&rdanco with
the showing of facts that should be
made. Tlin Initial victory was gained when
Judge Caldwell ordered the rfcelvers to
withdraw the order previously approved by
Judge Uundy and to Invite the representa
tives of the employes to.a conference upon
their dlffcrcntui , reporting to the court the
points with regard to'whlch they might fall
to come to an agreement. Throughout the
hearing before the court It was apparent
that the receivers were not able to make
out a satisfactory case , although they doubt-
let ; expected to have biimo concessions madj
to their contention.
The court refuses to accept the schedule
of wages prepared by the receivers for
several reasons. Klrst , because the receivers
arc no better fitted to Judge \\hat are Just
and reasonable \vntoa than l.s tlin court.
Second , because the receivers adopted n
wrong method In procuring the original order
for their Bchedule. In adopting such felicdule
without notice to or hearing of the men or
their ropre-ontntlvis they violated the n re-
ment existing bctwceti the company and the
men , by the terms of which no change was
ti ) bo made without notice to the men and
granting them a hearing. This action , In the
eyei of the court , was better calculated to
provoke a itrlko than to nllay the dlfllcul-
tles. Finally , because nil the testimony
went to show that the men were earning
all they wcro receiving. It would be mon
strous Injustice to scale down their wages
for the purpose of creating dividends for
stock for which only " cents on the dollar
was originally paid , or Interest for bonds
by means of which the construction com
pany made profits of nearlv Sin.flOO.OOO. As
employes of the court the men are to re-
celvo no worse treatment than was accorded
them as employes of the company previous
to the receivership , and therefore the old
wage schedule Is to continue In force with
only minor modifications.
The Immense * significance of the confer
ence just closed Is alluded to by Judge Cald
well In the final paragraphs of his opinion ,
whore he expresses the hope that In future
differences about wages' between employers
and employes "resort may bo bad to reason
and not to passion , to the law and not to
violence , to the courts and not to a strike. "
This decision sets a , precedent for all time to
come. It shows what can bo done- where
all parties act with cool judgment and with
a purpose to arrive at a satisfactory conclu
sion. It opens up a new field to labor or
ganizations the protection of their mem
bers through proper representation before
the courts. It gives the representative of
the wage earner the same claim to consider
ation from the court that Is enjoyed by the
attorney for the stockholder or the bond
holder. It marks a distinct advance in the
relations between labor and capital.

There Is at least ono democrat In con
gress who has the courage of his convictions.
Ho is Tom Ij. Johnson of Ohio , who repre
sents the Cleveland district and is a cham
pion of free trade and the single tax. Some
three months ago Mr. Johnson addressed
an assemblage of democrats In New York
nnd took occasion to frankly declare that the
party was not faithful to the .principles of
democracy or to Us pledges made in tha
last national campaign. Subsequently In
the house of representatives , speaking on the
tariff bill , ho scored the party roundly for
Its want of honesty and courage in dealing
with the tariff , and told some plain truths
that were not palatable to some of his party
colleagues. On last Monday evening Mr.
Johnson made a speech at the banquet of the
Iroquols club of Chicago , his subject being
free trade.
The Ohio congressman declared tfiat ho Is
a free trader because ho Is a democrat and
he Is a democrat becausojie is a free trader ,
thus Implying that "democrat" and "freo
trader" are , In his view , correlative terms ,
and he said that when the democratic party
takes anything less than free trade for Its
touchstone mid rallying cry It becomes dis
cordant and helpless and contemptible. ly
way of Illustrating this ho pointed to the
present condition of the party , describing
it us "broken , discredited , foredoomed to
defeat. " It bus been brought to this con
dition , declared Mr. Johnson , because the
nartv. or the noltllclans ami mnnni'nrn nf Mm
party , feared to say free trade and Instead
made tariff reform Its watchword. There
Is meaning In the words "freo trade , " he
declared , which everybody can understand ,
whereas "tariff reform" may mean any
thing or nothing. As to what Issue the
democratic party ( .hall go before the coun
try on In the coming' elections Mr. Johnson
said the only hope Is to raise openly and
unequivocally the banner of free trade. "If
the democratic party does not stand In opposition -
position to the protective Idea It stands
for nothing , " was the Ohio congressman's
declaration , "and It must bo swept naide by
some party that does voice the democratic
principle. It the democratic party Is to
live It must cast all protectionists out ot Ita
ranks. There is no room In It for a moder
ate protectionist , or u local protectionist , or
any other kind of a protectionist. Mas
querading as tariff reform democrats they
can only bring the democratic party Into
contempt and defeat. " And then with
c < mul frankness Mr , Johnson said that free
trade would lead to the single tax. The
greatest of nil monopolies , ho asserted , Is
tliu monopoly of land , ami free trade , carried
to Its logical conclusion , the Mnglo tax ,
would abofluh this fundamental monopoly and
In doing so solve the labor question and
abolish poverty.
These utterances were heartily applauded
by the members and guests of the Iroquols
club , and so far ns they relate to free trade
thcro can bo no question that they state
the predominant sentiment In the democratic
party , to the more general assertion ot
which there Is nlmply needed moro men In
the party with the courage nnd candor ot
the Ohio congressman. A large majority
of the democrats in the house would hare
preferred a moro radical measure than the
Vt'lUon bill , which they regarded only ai a
step In the direction ot tree trade , and Mr ,
Voorhees decUrod In hli speech to the en-
uts unnucjtlol-.nlly with thn dppiovnl nf n
majority tf the democrrttn nf Hint \iti\y \ \
Hint the pending tariff hill "constitutes n
: lr/K ; tlrlde , though not n final DII > ' , toward
i Die iipproachlng ilny nf perfect dollverarte- , "
meaning , of courto. free trade. Tha trite
dot-trine of modern democracy , as plainly
hhnwn in Us lanl national platform , U nb-
nolute free trade' , and If ll-doe * net tt.iml
for thlx , us llrprcsenlntlvc Johimon raid , It
stands for nothing. What the party lacks
now Is the courage to strike out boldly nnd
honestly for the goal of Its desire , hut give
It another opportunity nnd It will go us far
an even no radical n free trader nx Mr.
Johnton could wish In sweeping away pro
tection , even though the alternative tilioiild
bo n single tax on land In order to raise rev
enue for the support of the goveinmcnt.
This Is what the people need lo understand
when they come to consider how thry shall
vote In the elections for n now congress.
To continue the democratic party In con
trol of the house of representatives would
r.lmost certainly result In the. destruction of
the protective system. Happily the Indica
tion' nro that the people are thoroughly
awake to this fact ami may bo depended
upon to avert the possible danger. vThc
candid statement by Hepresentntlve John
son of .the true democratic doctrine may
serve to still further arouse them.

We print In thin l Mic ft letter from County
Clerk Sackctt In which "ho joins Issue most
decidedly with the previously published
views tf City Comptroller Olsen on thu sub
ject of Improving county roads. The point
which Mr. Olson attempted to make was
that Inasmuch us the city contributes three-
fourths of the revenues that go to the county
treasury , it Is an injustice to city taxpayers to
compel them to pay for county roads from
which they can derive but little or no bene
fit. Against the narrowness of this view
of tlio matter we protected at the time , in
sisting that the lesldenls of the city fce-
cured advantages from every Improvement
operating to make access to Its markets
easier , for which they could well nfford to
pay their respective Hltares. This argument
Is supported in Mr. Sackett's letter by the
exact figures of the county revenues derived
from city nnd county taxpayers nnd of the
amounts expended within and without the
city limits. The fact Is also brought out
that the expenditure nf county funds In
improving county roads will cause an ap
preciable rlsu In the value of tlio lands sub
ject to county taxation and lima tend to
reduce the disproportion In the respective
contributions of city and county taxpayers
to the county treasury.
In clifcciuslriR this question the Intimate
relation existing between the city nnd
county must not bo lost sight of. The
progress of the county Is equally the progress
of the city , because the city shares In It
by Increased resources and Increased trade.
The more fact that the Improvement hap
pens to be without an artificial line called
the city limits does not deprive the , lty of
the benefits ncciulng from It. While the
consolidation of city nnd county governments
Is doubtless a thing of the not-very remote
future , the economies to be effected nro
chiefly in the line ot administration. The
necessity for the permanent Improvement
of the county roads will not be nffectcd by
it ono way or the other. In this field both
city and county will be called on to co-op-
crate for the common good.
It Is indeed fortunate under the cxUting
circumstances that the taxpayers of the
city can act In this matter through the
county government. The city finds itself
prevented by the statutory limit
on Its Indebtedness from raising
money for public Improvements In Us
own name. Hut public improvements must
go on In every progressive community. The
building of county roads and suburban road
ways with county funds offers' the only pres
ent solution.
The trial of the Impeached Nebraska
ofllclals commenced before the supreme
court Just n year ago and the people of the
state are very well satisfied that the trial
was worth all It cost. 'While it Is true that
the ofllclals In question were acquitted by
a Scotch verdict , it Is still true that the
ofllclals themselves have In the year that
has elapsed atnco their trial been Indus
triously engaged In proving that they were
grossly negligent during their first terms of
office. No ono will pretend to deny that
the state Institutions ot Nebraska have
not been better managed than In the two
yeara Immediately preceding the impeach
ment proceedings. In spite of the heavy
decrease In appropriations the state Insti
tutions have been fully ns well , If not bet
ter , conducted. Contracts are more elosoly
scrutinized and prices nro more nearly In
accordance with business methods. The
members of the board having tlio institu
tions In charge now put In four days of
hard work where formerly they put In but
ono. In doing so they tacitly confess that
they did not do their duty before. The state
has already saved the costs of the trial ,
nnd , in addition to all this , the people have
given other men who aspire to ofilco a
significant warning that carelessness nnd In-
competency will not bo overlooked In the
future.
Kvery successive stop In the aarb'iare ' con
tract case lends support to the position
maintained by Tbo Dee at the time the gar
bage collection deal was railroaded through
the city council over the mayor's veto. The
Hoe called attention lo the Influences that
wore backing this schema nnd predicted that
It would canto no end of complaint were It
over put Into operation. The affidavits tnat
have just been Tiled In court Illustrate the
methods that were pursued to secure the
votes necessary to successfully engineer this
nefarious job to Us completion. They may
also explain the subserviency lo certain
corporate Influence that has been noticeable
In several monibe.ru ot tha city council since'
the reorganization last January- The gar
bage job Is part nnd parcel with the electric
lighting jobs and several other jobs. They
will all bear investigation.

WASHINGTON , April ( i. The Kngllsh bill
to give effect to the Purls ugrecment on the
Ilcrlng sen fisheries docs not give entire
satisfaction at Hitcapltol. . Senator Davis
ot the committee on foreign relations said
today that the bill was Inadequate nnd does
not go ns fnr ns does the bill \\lilch passed
the senate yesterday looking lo the preven
tion of seal poiching. He pointed out that
the Kngllsh bill provides u penalty of 500
forfeiture for nn offense against the treaty
stipulations which Is outside the limit.
"It may ns well be ns low ns 10. "
He took special exception to the clause
providing that the act shall not be enforced
against any vessel which may have sailed
previous to the publication of the net. "The
fnct Is , " said the senator , "the Pacific Is
covered with Canadian sealing vessels , which ,
it will be found , have sailed In time to evade
the provisions of the treaty and the effect
of the legislation will be to give the Cana
dian sealers another year to devastate the
nerii.
Senator Davis said the inadequacy of tlio
English legislation could have"no influence
upon this country , and It Is our duty to pro
ceed In our own way to execute the treaty.
Senator Morgan , chairman of the com
mittee on foreign relations of the senate ,
said today In discussing the report that
Lord Hanncn , now deceased , had not signed
one of the protocols to the Paris convention ,
but that this omission would not affect the
terms of the agreement , as the fact that
It had been signed by the president of the
commission and countersigned by the secre
tary was sufficient to vouch for Us official
character. The signatures of others were
accepted merely ns certificates of the cor
rectness of the Ens'lsh ' translation.

WASHINGTON , April 5. The senate com
mittee on the five civilized tribes of Indians
Is preparing to start to Indian Territory
for the purpose of Investigating , among other
subjects , the relations existing between the
Indians and the white settlers. This ques
tion has attained some prominence recently
In connection with the effort to have
Indian Territory Included as n part of the.
proposed state of Oklahoma. The Indians
have resisted the proposition , declaring that
If they should accept statehood their tribal
relations would be destroyed , they would be
compelled to accept land In severally , and
would be so outnumboivd by the whites as
to cut them out ot nil voice in their affairs.
They nlso assert that they hold their lands
under treaty and are guaranteed self-govern
ment by the same process. Under tlio ex
isting condition of affairs , while fur out
numbering the Indian population , the whites
say they are deprived of all rights of
citizenship and cannot become owners of real
estate , of which the Indians have more than
they can utilize.
There was a largo delegation In Washing
ton during the- winter In the Interest of
statehood and the Indians have also bad
representatives here , but members of the
committee complained that It was Impos
sible to secure from these representatives
an Idea of the status ot affairs.
The scope under which the committee Is
to act Is ot very general nature , and It li
probable that the inquiry will go Into many
other questions In connection with life In
Indian Territory. The committee will leave
Washington tomorrow , and will probably bo
nbsent about two weeks.
