One of tin : Illinois ntnto Konntors Ima
utrodticcd n bill Into the legislature to
prohibit street railway companion doing
mslncs * In that state from carrying
United Slates malls. 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

The police force of Omaha has beei
sadly demoralized by Internal disscn

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

decisive action at the hands of th
police commission. Our citizens are entitled

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

Indianapolis Journal : The man who pro
posed that the term of Mr. Cleveland be
extended to the end of his days at $100,000
a year must have a wedge of the Cleveland
layer cake which would bo Indefinitely en
larged In such an event.
Chicago Mall : It was a convention of
southern wholesale grocers that cheered the
suggestion of making Mr. Cleveland presi
dent for life at $100.000 a year. And are
they Indeed so grateful as that for the In
crease In the price of sugar ?
Minneapolis Tribune : H Is evident that
President Cleveland has some friends In
the south , although they appear to bo few
and far between. Wherever two or three
southern democrats are gathered together
It Is always easy to elicit a roast for Graver ,
but the wholesale grocers' association at
Atlanta on Friday cheered to the echo a
proposition by one of the delegates to
double the president's salary and elect htm
for life. This association Is composed of
southern business men who are enamoured
of the Cleveland financial policy. Such talk ,
however , Is very silly , coining from any
quarter. _

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.

Ord Journal : The railroads are allvo to
their opportunities , anil every cent of taxes
taken off the railroad * will have to be paid
by the real estate , and land owners. 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.
The republican party took advantage of Its
political power to make the reduction In
taxes , although It did Its best to pile up
expenditures by most extravagant appropria
tions.
