The Idea behind he measure is that the only object In mvlng malls carried on street cars Is o mliko the street railways part of the Jnlted Slates mall routes and put thorn mdor the protection of the federal gov- rinnont. In such case strikes would to practically Impossible nmoug street allway employes. Hut there Is just as uuch of n question as to the power of a state legislature to Interfere with the 'nlted States malls as of a band of striking employes , It Is hardly prob- ible that any law such as that proposed ,11 , Illinois could lie enforced In tlio . oiirtH. even If enacted. The same doe- ; rlnes which tlio judges have laid down iVlth reference to the labor organisations ire applicable to the agents of the state governments. In other words , If state ) IIlccrs attempt to prevent street rail way companies from carrying mails , they would afford the same excuse for iilllng out of the federal troops that existed during tlio great railroad strike of a year ago. They would also create a similar state of facts to that upon which the great strike Injunctions were Issued , and If the courts intervened with writs of prevention they would bo sub ject to similar punishment for contempt should they violate the orders. It Is plain that the results of the re cent supreme court decision are not to be avoided by state legislation of this kind.The court has enunciated the principle that Intel-state commerce comes within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal government , and that the duty of protecting the corporations ngagrd In Interstate commerce devolves directly upon federal authorities with out reference to the action of the Indi vidual states. If so , then the duty of protecting the employes of those cor porations from oppression by their em ployers devolves upon the federal gov ernment , as well as the duty of pro tecting the public from extortionate and unreasonable exactions. The executive and the courts "have stopped In at the request of the railroads to shield them from attack. It Is for congress to follow this up with legislation designed for the em ployes and the iiatrons of these roads. What Is sauce for the goose Is also sauce for the gamier. If the corpora tions can claim the protection of the Interstate commerce clause of the con stitution , so can the laborers they em ploy and the people they servo. TTIK KFFKCl' Of I'RUSl'KIHTY. With ( lie return of prosperity through- ont the country will come a cessa tion of tlie clamor for debased currency. Such n revival Is now taking place and close observers sec that the demand for unlimited and free silver coinage Is losing ground. When hun dreds of mills and factories were idle and hundreds of thousands of people were unemployed , while the prices of the products of agriculture were lower than almost ever before , the advocates of 1(5 ( to 1 coinage had their opportunity. Tlie mind of the laboring man and the farmer was then most susceptible to the teaching that the free coinage of silver was the one thing needed to give the former work and to raise the price of the products of the latter. Itoth had undergone a hard and trying experience and were In a condition to accept any llnancial nostrum which could be plausi bly shown to promise relief. Told that the free and unlimited coinage of silver would give employment to labor , Increase wages and send up the prices of all the commodities of agriculture , won thousands of ad herents to that policy who under dif ferent conditions would not have given It n moment's consideration. These classes are 'having nn object lesson which should convince them of the fallacy of the cheap money demand. A resumption of Industrial activity has taken place very generally throughout the country , wages have advanced , In many cases by the voluntary ac tion of employers , there Is a demand for labor lu the Indus trial centers and almost every day there is developed some new condi tion that serves to show the fallacy ot the free silver contention and to demon strate that the.so-called arguments for that policy are based on false assump tions. AVhlle the false teaching of thu free sllverltes Is thus made apparent to the labor of the country , the farmers are also being presented with an object lesson which , shows the falsity of thu assertion that the low price ot the products of agriculture was due to the depreciation of silver. They have seen wheat , com , cotton ami beef going uj : while silver remained down inul the more Intelligent of them musl see that this advance In the prices ol their products would have been broughl about by the Increased consumption thai accompanies prosperity even If the price of silver had gone still lower. Kverj farmer who -studies the markets hnowh that the upward movement In the prod nets of agriculture ha * been wholly In dependent of silver , as , Indeed , has beer the case with the coursoof these prod uctH for the past twenty yearn. The claim that the price of silver 1ms at unj time since Its so-called demonetlzatloi had any Important Influence In deter mining the prices of wheat , cotton 01 * any other agricultural commodity I : not sustained by the facts and presen experience In this respect Is not essen thilly different from that of any pro vlons time In the last twenty years The fact that there has been from tlini to time coincidence In the rise or fal of- silver and agricultural products doe ; not prove any such relationship be tween such products and thu wlilti metal as the free coinage advocates as sert. sert.Tho The country Is getting back to a con dltlon of prosperity without the frci coinage of silver , and every Indlcatloi Is favorable to continued progress li that direction. Our securities ure In de nuind In the Kurbpean markets , forelgi capital Is looking for American Invest ment , llmiuclal confidence Is stronge than It has been before for' sev eral years , nml the only thliij that seems necessary to nn en of sound prosperity Is food crop * of which there Is favorable promlsi Under such circumstances , what defense Is there for the demand that we shall revolutionize'our monetary system with the Inevitable result oC. checking the advance toward prosperity now mak ing and probably bringing about im measurable disaster ? Aff OIUKWHIX' VltOM TUIIKKY. The powers Knglaud , France and Hussia which submitted to the Turkish government a program of reforms for Armenia , may lm\e to compel by force a compliance with their demands. While not rejecting the proposed re forms , because to have done that would have been to invite a conflict , the Tur kish government objects to a very essen tial feature of Ihe plan , which Is that requiring that the powers shall have control of the reforms. To omit this requirement and leave the plan to be carried out by the Turkish government would give no assurance of security to the Armenians and would probably de feat the whole purpose of the proiwsed reforms. Obviously the condition , that the powers shall control Is absolutely vital and should be Insisted upon , re gardless of any assurances the Turkish governmelit may give that It will faith fully carry out the reforms. If there Is any humiliation or hardship In It for that government It Is fully deserved. It Is suggested that the objection of Turkey to the control of the powers Is prompted by some other European power , possibly Germany , and reasons may be found for this view , though it seems Improbable that the German gov ernment would care to take any part In the matter. The sentiment of the ( iernuui people , It Is safe to say , Is with the Armenians , and the government would not go counter to this by Kiipiwrtlng Turkey in refus ing to agree to any of the demands of the powers. The concen tration of war vessels at lloyroot Indi cates n determination to enforce the de mands , and If such Is the meaning of It the Turkish government will not bo very tenacious In urging its objection. A aiiun'isa INDUSTRY. One of the most thrifty fruits of the protective policy In this country Is the tin plate Industry. It will bo remem bered that when the duty on tin plate was Increased by the tariff net of 181)0 ) , with a view to stimulating the industry In this country , It was persistently as serted by the opponents of protection that it was impossible to build up tin plate manufacturing In the United States in competition with Wales and that the only effect of the duty would bo to Increase the cost of tin to Ameri can consumers. It was proclaimed everywhere that the duty would rob every household that used tinware and every worklngman who carried his dinner nor in a tin pall. The appeal to the "tin pall brigade" to resent this action of the protectionists undoubtedly had great effect In the campaign of 1S90 , when the democrats secured their great majority In the house ot reprosonta tives. But notwithstanding the assertions of the tariff reformers and free traders the tin plate industry has made progress In this country , and instead of having to give way before the competition of the Welsh manufacturers , who wore favored by the democratic tariff , it has been gradually crowding them out of the American market. According to a recent report there are 1(58 tin plate mills In this country , witn others in progress of construction , and when all are In operation they will have a ca pacity exceeding the consumption of the United Slates. We are now Im porting less than half the quantity of tin plate we formerly did , and evidently it is only a question of a short time , possibly two or three years , when Im portations of tin plate will stop alto gether. The effect upon the ? industry In Wales has been almost disastrous. More than half the mills in that coun try are Idle and wages have been re duced to the starvation point. The Welsh manufacturers admit Unit the outlook is most gloomy and have given up all hope of regaining what they have lost of the American market Meanwhile instead of the price of tin plate advancing It Is considerably lower now than before the tariff hnv of 1800 went Into effect , and the condi tions are favorable to its being stll cheaper. There has boon no moro remarka ble example in our history of what American enterprise and energy can accomplish under a judicious policy of protection than Is furnished by the progress of the tin plate Industry. DUTY OF TllK I'OLIGK COMMISSION. Our municipal government Is a rotarj machine whose wheels continue In per pctual revolution. Parties may come and parties may go , but mayors am councils follow each other In endless succession. The rotary principle of gov eminent applies with equal force to the board charged with the managemen and supervision of the police and lire departments. The changes that are made from time to time in the member ship of the board are not expected to clog tlio wheels of government nor make a truce with lawlessness. This mud as a prelude. The police force of Omaha has beei sadly demoralized by Internal disscn slon and lack of an etllclent and incor ruptlble chief. The detective force Is worse than useless. Under such condl tlons It Is not in the least surprising that Omaha should have become the stamping ground for burglars , footpads and sneak thieves. The audacious An heuser-Huseh safeblowlug affords strik ing proof of the dangerous condition ii which Omaha linds herself at this dnj for want of proper police protection Such a condition calls for prompt and decisive action at the hands of th police commission. Our citizens are entitled titled to ample protection from highway men and midnight robbers and the } look to the police commission for rellel It matters not whether the presen commissioners are to hold their places for two months or for two years. Th board has a duty to perform and It discharge has already been deferred to long. The board should proceed to n. organize the police without fin ther delay.

Sir. Moreton Frowon Is being quoted ulte freely of late as nn eminent Ill-H ull llnuuc'er who advtciitcs free coinage t 1(5 ( to 1 from disinterested conviction hat It would restore confidence and ommerclal prosperity to the American > eoplo. Mr. Moreton l''roweii ' Is neither ecogulzed In ( treat Hi-Haiti as an enil- iciit llmincler nor an authority on Inance. He is a speculator , pure and Imple. who at one time had Invested xtonsively In Wyoming cattle ranches ml more recently has become heavily nterestod In Montana silver mining iropertles. It is perfectly natural for an English bulllonalre to look through he same spectacles that have magnified he act of 1S ; & Into a crime and made redulous fanners and worklngmen bo- levo that they will grow rich and pros * wrous If they will only help the silver ilngs to the privilege of getting fifty puts of silver bullion coined Into one lollar without charge. H would have teen just us reasonable for these farm ers to ask Mr. Krewen and other mln- ng speculators to have congress enact a law that will compel the government o buy up all their corn for a dollar a bushel , even If tlio highest market price > f corn was less than fifty cents. Edghlll , the telegraph messenger boy , > y his phenomenal riding has not only llstingulshcd himself , but has rendered a great service to , the telegrap.li com- mny employing him. When the tele graph people put their messenger boys on wheels they made a great stride In advancement. X bicycle is the synonym of speed and the use of wheels by tlio nessenger boys I's a. standing card of quick delivery and expedition of busl- less. The old , threadbare joke about the sleeping messenger Is now obsolete. So it has come , to'pass that every mes senger boy who distinguishes himself is a speedy Cyclist reflects credit upend d Invites business for his employer. The world grows swifter day by day. The National ilunlclpal league has given us any amount of good advice with respect * to the better government of American icltios. Tlio fact remains , however , that good resolutions do not reform corruptmjmlclpal. ollkujrs. Mu nicipal reform is/possible only under city ollidals of both Integrity and abil ity. If the league mooting acts as an Incentive to bestir tlio well meaning but reluctant citizen to active participa tion in local politics It will have accom plished the first important step. The farmers of Nebraska will not feel sorely grieved at the decision of the federal courts of New York that cut diamonds mends are not exempt from Import duty. Most of the farmers have managed to get along without cut diamonds on their shirt fronts and finger rings for some time past. Overworking the Tump. Washington Post. Hon.

While the Income tax has been declared Invalid by the decision In main cases , the case Involved the additional question as to whether an executive officer can be enjoined against the enforcement of a law before a decision de claring It unconstitutional has been rendered , and It remains to be seen whether the court will pass upon this point or simply dismiss the case. ruiNun : DIVI-HIKST or oim route. Secretary Morton Aclopllnc Strict IMrn-urfs to Oiinmntpii tlio I'roduor. WASHINGTON , June 4. It Is said at the Agricultural department that there Is no truth In the published reports that pork ex amined microscopically for export to Ger many and France and found to contain trichinae , Is stamped by Inspectors as free from disease and so exported and.sold. . . Harb in February Secretary Morton ordered all pork examined microscopically and that found to be affected with trichinosis tanked , but later It was decided that the present law did not give the secretary this authority. The enforcement of the order was therefore postponed until July 1 , when the new law goes Into effect. H Is doubtful , however , whether the new law will give him power to cause the destruction of pork alTected with trichinae. H only authorizes the secre tary to make such regulations as he may deem necessary to prevent the shipment of condemned carcasses from one state to an other and does not specifically give him Jurisdiction over pork examined for trichinae and condemned to prevent Its sale In the local market of the place where It Is exam ined. The local authorities alone cannot effect this unless the secretary secures from the shippers of pork to Germany and France ( the countries requiring the Inspection for trich inae ) , voluntarily , agreements such as have been made with shippers of beef , mutton , etc. , by which the latter agree to tank such carcasses as do not pass the federal Inspec tion. If such regulation Is put In force , however. It Is feared that the pork exporta tion totJermany and Franco will cease. "The percentage of pork affected with trichinosis Is so large. " said Mr. Salmon , "that If all the carcasses found to be affocteJ went to the rendering vats , the shippers' profits would all disappear. " The amount of pork ex ported to Germany and Franco averages from 5,000,000 to 7,000,000 pounds monthly. Civil Survloo Kxiiiitliiiiij ; Honril * . WASHINGTON , Juno 4.

The lighter the tax burdens of the railroads , the moro will the producer nncl common citizen have to pay to make up the amount given to them. As a whole , taxation Is no lighter throughout the entire state. Why , then , make the burden lighter for the railroad and more sevc-ro for the people ? The rail * roads have an eye upon the main chance In state and county elections , and the "main chance" Is the t > callng down of their taxes.
