What Is the matter with the State Boa
of Transportation ? Why Is It that the grc
gusto with which U announced Its dcclsl
adverse to the railroad companies pn the t\
transfer switch case * has proven to no but
vainglorious blast of the trumpet ? Do t
members of that board Imagine for a moms
that the people ot this state are going to t
low them to pull the wool over their ey
perpetually ? U to they will find that th
have bcon mightily mistaken. The far
Into which they seem to bo trying to tran
form the transfer switch law hus ceased to 1
amusing. The state board has promulgate
altogether too many programs of rcfor
without carrying n slnglo ono of them In
execution.
The proceedings of the board with refc
cnco to the transfer switch law have bci
little short of xcandalous. The law we
nominally Into effect August 1 last. Pom
tics under It were supposed to begin to a
cruo sixty days later. Not a thing was dot
by the board during those sixty days 1
tended to bo devoted to the hearing of pel
tlons for relief from Its provisions at pa
tlcular points , but two or three days prior
their expiration the board entertained pet
tlpns on bolialt of the roads for cxcmptlc
from the operation of the law at every Jun
tlon In the state. Instead of taking up ono cji
at n time nnd pushing them to concluslo
the board assumed to Investigate all of thci
before pronouncing a single decision. Final
tiring of this tedious procois , It consented I
reach an Immediate decision upon two case
a decision ordering the roads to construct tl
switches as required by law. This dcclslc
was proclaimed from the stnto house as a
cvidonco of self-sacrificing devotion to dul
on the part of the members of the board or
held up as conclusive proof that they wei
doing their best to force the railroads to con
ply with the law. Having gotten this fa
however , they seemed to have utterly nbai
doned their good Intentions. They appear
bo endeavoring to convince the railroad
If they need anything to convince ther
that the bark of the state board Is muc
more dangerous than Its bite.
What has the board done to cary out tli
order In the transfer switch cases ? Absi
lutely nothing. The Bee pointed out the wo
which the law Itself provides for enforcln
Its provisions. It called attention to tl
fact that a penalty ot not less than ? GO IK
moro than $500 Is accruing for each nn
every day that the railroad company or con
panics neglect or refuse to build or mail
tain the contemplated switches. Thef
fines may be Imposed by any court of con
pctent jurisdiction and are to bo paid inl
the general school fund ot the state. Bi
the board has not made a slnglo move I
have any of the penaltiss Imposed. On tli
other hand , It intimated for a while that
Intended to ask , the supreme court for a wr
of mandamus to compel the roa'ds to carr
out its order , but even this talk died ot
weeks ago. The soporific nllcnco of tl
board has not been Interrupted. All th
other cases In which the roads asked to b
relieved of their duties under the law scci
to have dropped suddenly out of the horlzoi
Having exhausted its powers in two case
the board Is quite content to leave the otlu
eighty odd in statu quo , perhaps because
might be constrained to decide a. few of thci
against the railroads and that would Involv
now Instances of neglect or refusal to bull
the switches upon which the dally penaltle
might commence to accrue. It Is just pos
slblo that the board fears that 'tho genort
school fund of the state might become r'lc
too rapidly at the expense of the law-defyln
roads. If BO Its fears nro entirely un
grounded , tor the roads may bo rolled upo
to flght It out to the last resort. The leas
the board can do is to go on and adjudlcat
the pending cases and at the same tlmo in
stltute proceedings to collect the penaltls
that have already accrued. ,
TilK VOL1CK FORCE ,
The police force ot Omaha Is badly dls
organized and demoralized. Its cfllclcnc
has been sadly Impaired by Internal dlsscn
slon fomented by cliques anil rcliglou
feuds. There have boon plots and Intrigue
by subordinate officers against each othe
and against their superiors. These feud
must cither bo suppressed or the force wll
have to bo disbanded.
The action of the police commissioners litho
the Cormlck-Shoop affray docs not tend t
promote the efficiency of the police. On th
contrary , It must weaken rather than 1m
prove its discipline. The police force 1
practically an army , and its rank anfl fll
must necessarily bo handled like soldiers 01
active military duty. The first duty of tin
soldier Is to Implicitly obey the 'orders o
his superiors , and that principle , govern
from the lowest to the highest rank. It
every dispute or conflict between army offl
ccrs ot different rank the ranking officer I ;
uphold unless the preponderance of tcstl
mpny proves him to have been culpable
And In every Instance disobedience of order
by an Inferior officer is followed by seven
discipline.
This fundamental principle has been Ig
no red by the police commission. When Ofllcci
Ulootn was charged with writing a threat
enlng letter to the chief magistrate of tin
city , and this charge was denied by him , al
though corroborated by his own wrltlnj
and mode of misspelling as well as by experts
ports on handwriting , the commission gave
the ofllr-r tlio benefit of the doubt and or
Jerod him reinstated.
In the Shoop-Cormlck affray the board 1m :
condoned Snoop's failure to obey the ordci
Df the < acting chief ot police that rcqulroi
lilm to' remain on duty until relieved b )
mother ofllcer. 'tho fact that this rule hac
Duly recently been adopted , and had beer
illsregarded by other oUlccrs , can count foi
nothing. Disobedience is subvorslvo to al
llsclpllno , and even It the rule had been Ir
( orco but a slnglo day It was a mandate foi
avery officer on the force. The board hai
not only stamped with approval this dere
liction of duty but It has reversed military
rule , so essential to discipline , by dlscnnV
[ ting the testimony of the superior olllcoi
ivhen It was contradicted by the aubor-
llnato charged with Insubordination. This
ictlon must huvaTT demoralizing effect on
Lho olllctency pf the police.
There were three courses left open to the
joard under the circumstances. First , II
.ho cause of the altercation between Cor-
nick and Sheep was primarily provoked by
llsobedlcnco on the part ot Sheep ho should
mvo been disciplined by reprimand , BUS-
tension or dismissal. Second , It It Is true
hut Sheep raised a chair to strike the acting
ihlcf , lie was the aggressor and should have
> een dishonorably dismissed , On the other
mud It Sboop's version of the fracas tc to be
icctjptcd and Cormlck's statement rejected ,
Captain Cormlck should have been 'disci-
illned by reprimand , suspension or dismissal
is the case might warrant. . But ven In
hat case Sheep would not have purged him-
elf. from the charge of disobeying his
uperlor. Thlcd , assuming UuU the contra-
llctory statements ot the two officer uro
o be accepted as offsetting each other , the
loard might have disciplined both'or aa-
ordoJ thorn both the same benefit ot doubt
* ' ' -
which they accorded In the case ot Ofllc
Bloom.
The Cormlck-Shoop case Is , howcve
only an Incident that emphasizes the n
cesslly for the reorganization ot the poll
by weeding out the plotters nnd turbulc
factlonlsts. The beginning should 1
mndo with the so-called detect !
department , which has done mete
to discredit the police force nnd lirli
It Into "disrepute than all other thing
Next In order should bo the cleaning up

have been most strongly Intrenched ,
CAKAL inrL , .
The bill of Ueprcscntntlvo Bryan to enob
the government to aid In constructing tl
Nicaragua canal has some good feature
U Is a Judicious provision that the govor :
merit directors shall bo selected eo that c
sections of the country will have represent
tton and that these directors shall have i
pecuniary Interest In the company. The pr
vision prohibiting any stockholder , direct
or ofllccr from being Interested In any co
tract made by the company Is wise. Tl
provisions requiring that all labor shall 1
employed directly by the company , th
eight hours shall constitute a day's wor
itnd that preference shall bo given to wor !
men who arc citizens of the United State
Nicaragua and Costa Rlcn , will probably ci
counter no serious objection , though thci
are matters which might very well bo Ic
Iff" the determination ot circumstances.
U conceivable that the restrictions Impost
upon the company by these requlremen
might operate to Its disadvantage.
The feature of Mr. Bryan's bill that shou
be fatal to It Is the proposal that the govcri
nicnl shall subscribe for stock ot the can
company and Issue United States notes
payment therefor , such notes to have tl
same legal tender qualities and rcdemptlc
rights as the greenbacks , which ore rcdeeti
able In gold. This would bo straight Inft
tton and In a more objectionable for :
than would be the coinage of the s
called silver seigniorage. Mr. Bryan
defense of his proposition Is not 'even ' plans
blc. Ho seems to lose sight entirely of tl
danger in increasing the coin obligations i
the government to the amount of $70,000,00
and It does not help the matter to say thi
this Increase would bo extended over sever ;
years. The treasury gold reserve , which
the basis for the redemption of $346,000,01
ot greenbacks , Is now less than $90,000,0 (
and steadily diminishing. If congress shou !
authorize an addition ot $70,000,000 to tt
greenbacks. Is It not absolutely certain tin
the legal tender notes now in clrculatk
would be presented to the treasury for n
dcmption , thus draining It of gold and ton
Ing the government to abandon specie paj
ments , unless congress at the time of autl
orlzlng this additional Issue of greenback
made provision for largely Increasing tl :
gold reserve , which could bo done only t
an Issue of bonds ? Everybody who has an
Intelligent Ideas on the subject roust under
stand that the government cannot Increa :
Its obligations redeemable in- coin to any m :
tcrial extent without Imperiling II
ability to maintain specie pal
incuts. Indeed , the maintenance <
that policy now rests wholly upon the publl
faith In the government , nnd this wl
hardly bear a much greater strain than I
lias been subjected to for a year or two pas
Mr. Bryan says the notes which ho prc
poses shall bo Issued to pay for canal stoc
will become and remain a part of the cui
rcncy , llko the greenbacks , thus helping t
Increase the circulation. 'lutv ' this -inone
is to bo expended In the construction of 111
: anal , and the greater part of It would g
: o labor. The money paid for labor "will b
: pent In Nicaragua nnd Costa Hlca and I
vlll come back to this country only to b
ixchanged for gold , so'that probably not t
ixcced one-fifth of the amount would b
tdded to the circulation , the other four
Ifths going out of the country ln _ the forr
> f coin , a large part ot which would find it
vay to Europe through the merchants an
jankers of Nicaragua and Costa Hlca. I
vould become a part ot the currency enl ;
it the price of a large outflow of gold , fo
vhlch the government might have to jnak
irovlslon by another sale of bonds ,
Another objection to Mr. Bryan's proposl
Ion Is that the principle Is essentially bad
t the government may properly sub'scrlb
o Nicaragua canal bonds and pay for then
> y an Issue of greenbacks It can similar ! ;
nvest In all sorts of enterprises , and theri
ire contemplated projects at home of no les
mportnnco to the general welfare than tli
Nicaragua canal. The bill Introduced li
he senate proposes to lend the credit ot tin
government to the canal company , tin
nonoy to be obtained from whoever 1
vllllng to buy the stock. Mr. Bryan's bll
iroposes that the government shall provldi
ill the money for constructing the canal
'lie latter is the more objectionable proposal
ranting all that can bo said as to the Im
iortanco of this enterprise , neither the Mor
; an nor the Bryan plan for Identifying tin
; overnment with U will bo approved by tin
leoplo.
TllK SOUTH AND 13l3UaitATinif.
A convention composed ot delegates frotr
ho southern states Will bo held In Augusti
ext week to discuss the subject of Iminl-
ration to the south , and It Is announced
liat a company has been formed to oncour-
go immigration to that section. Last yoai
convention with this object In view wa ;
eld In Richmond , but so far as known nc
radical results have coma from tt. Thh
lay be duo to the fact that the tlmo WOE
nproplttous. Immigration 16 the United
totes has been declining for a year past
nd Is now smaller than at any previous
line for a quarter of a century. This will
ndoubtcdly continue until there Is u. do-
Idcd revival of Industrial activity hero and
lie country U again In a condition to give
mployinent to the people already hero.
Whenever this time comes It Is hardly to be
xpcctcd that the Influx from abroad will
ttaln former proportions , because , In the
rst place , the lowering of wages hus loss-
lied the Inducement to come to this coun-
y , and , In the second place , the oppor-
inltles are not so attractive as formerly.
. Is not at all likely 'that there will bo
gain wltncs.'od In this generation any such
ildltlons to the population from abroad as
ere made , ln the past years of largest Iminl-
ratlon ,
The south has not shared to any great
( tent In the Immigration ot the past. The
rlnclpal reasons for this are the relatively
null returns for labor In that section , the
31 favorable social position of the laborer
id the objection that whlto labor has to
orltlng In competition with colored labor ,
csldos them drawbacks to Immigration to
10 south , the well'lnformed European com-
ig to this country knows ( hat there arc not
i good facilities In that section as In the
irth for educating his children or for his
vn Intellectual Improvement and cnjoy-
cnt. While the south has been making
> od progrets In a. material way during the
ist ten years , she has not advanced equally
other respects. There are cltlej , ot course ,
hlch have good schools and public libraries
and where art Inn IU ) yotarlc * , but very gel
erally thcro Is great destitution In this r
ipect and a lack of'iggBchUinent ' nnd splr
which promote Intellectual growth. It
different In the nor > hr whcro the smalle
community li found doing something for tl
advancement of Intellectual nn.il promotlc
of social progress. Pc'rjjiaps political conJ
tlons In the south nIg ( ? .havo something to (
with checking Immigration to that sectlo
though this can hardly 'bo a very potent li
fluencc , since few''Europeans ' nro able
dlicrlmlnato In this'matter. The lack of
moro thorough respect tor luw and order I
portions of the sou' Ji ipay also exert son
Influence. , _ _
The deslro of tho' south to encourage In
migration to that section Is prompted I
both political and social considerations. Tl
rapid growth of the colored race thcro
undoubtedly regarded by most of the whl
pcoplo ns n menace to their continued pollt
cat supremacy , and Immigration Is the on
means of offsetting It. It this could be pn
moled to such an extent ns to displace
considerable amount of colored labor
would bo forced to go elsewhere , rellevlr
southern communities of what they now r
gard as an Incubus nnd a danger. At tl
same time the colored people are steadl !
Improving their claims to social rccognltlo ;
They are acquiring property nnd getting odi
cation , showing In both respects much moi
ambition than the poorer class of white
These people cannot be perpetually dcnle
their rights of citizenship. The south ce
talnly has within It the elements of n gre ;
future. What has been accomplished thci
In the last ten or fifteen years gives nmp
assurance of this , but Its highest posslbll
ties will not bo realized until there Is
decided Improvement In political and socli
conditions. Immigration might bring th
about , but the intelligent Immigrant Is llkel
to wait for It before going there.

DUNCAN WAB PERSONAL.
Ill * Olijrctlnni to thn Cniirta ot the OUjr
The nllcged grievance of Plumblnn In-
iptctor Duncan on account of the action of
City Hnglnecr llosownter In submitting nn
ordinance to the council contemplating cer
tain Improvements In the present plumbing
department found expression at the regular
meeting of the Board of Health yesterday
nfternoon. Mr Hoaowntcr nnd City Attorney
Connell wcro present by Invitation , nnd also
halt a dozen ot the lending master plumbers.
The discussion savored largely of n personal
feeling nnd Mr , Duncan was repeatedly
called to order for Interlarding his remark !
with rather offensive personalities ,
Mr. Duncan hiul an armful of authorities
on his desk nnd began his argument by ask
ing the city attorney whether the city on-
glnecer had nny right under the ordinance
to Interfere with the operations of the
Board of Health with reijurd to plumbing.
Mr. Connell nssurcd him that the city en
gineer undoubtedly had the right to prepare -
pare nny ordinance ho might wlah , subject
to the notion of the mayor nnd council.
Duncan contended that the city onglneur had
no business to monkey with the plumbing
Insldo of lot lines , and Mr. Hosowater read
n section from the ordinance which stated
that the engineer should make nil grnda
lines from the soil pipe to the street connec
tions.
The Instance which wns cltotl by Mr.
Duncan was the residence nt the northwest
coiner of Twenty-third nnd Casj streets.
There the plumber had been notified by the
Board of Public Works to construct n man
hole In the house- sewer nnd to mnko an
opening In the Invert of cement. This tha
plumbing Inspector claimed was n violation
ot snnltnry regulations nnd a menace. , to
health. He argued nt considerable length
that the manhole would be tilled with filth
when the pipe became overcharged with
sewerage and would eventually become n
nuisance. His greatest stress was l.ild on
the alleged fnct Unit the engineer was Inter
fering with n matter which belonged alone
to the board through its plumbing Inspector.
Mr. Hosewnter explained that hist Idea , as
contained In the ordinance and as Illustrated
by the diagram In his last annual report ,
wns simply to formulate a method of mak
ing connections with the least possible dan
ger of stoppages. Years ngo n soworngo
system was laid out without mnnholes on
the theory that they worn not sanitary.
Since then the city had been compelled to
put In additional manholes from lime to
time , nnd the old theory had been entirely
overturned In the estimation of
all the best authorities. Ho nrguod
thnt If manholes wcro a good
thing In the main soweri , there wcro cor-
tnlnly cases In which they could bo used
to advantage In house sewers. Mr. Hose-
water was continually Interrupted by per
sonal remarks from the plumbing Inspector ,
nnd finally warmed up and put the Inspector
through a scries of rapid lire questions a ) to
what ho knew about plumbing anyway. Then
nil began talking nt once. Duncan called
upon the plumbers present to glvo their
opinions on the questions at Issue , and for
half nn hour nil crowded nround the tnblo
nnd talked nt onco. The conversation was
largely enigmatical to nny ono not n sewer
expert , nnd the discussion finally arrived
nt very nearly whcro It started. Mr. Rosewater -
water explained hU position at some length
nnd remarked that he had no Interest In
the plumbing business except that which
arose from tt conscientious deslro to Improve
the sewerage system of the city. U was
very easy for n public official to please
everybody ns long as ho did what everybody
wanted him to , but as teen ns ho began to
take any step for the general benefit there
were always certain Individuals ready to
Impugn his motives and to attempt to ren
der his efforts abortive.
At last Mr. Duncan moved that It bo the
sense of the board thnt It wns competent to
attend to nil matters pertaining to plumbing
without Interference from outside parties ,
and that nn adjournment bo taken until
Friday nfternoon , when the engineer , nttor-
ney nnd master plumbers should bo Invited
to attend again and participate In the dis
cussion. The motion found no second ami
then a similar motion with the exception ot
the first clause was offered and carried.
