' Nebraska prohlbltlonLsts have filled up

would bo taken up and endorsed as one
of the fusion candidates Is still a matter
for speculation. Itla safe to gay , how

The Joint attack begun last week by
the rallioad attorneys of N'ebraskn upon
the constltutloimilty of the law creating
the State lloaid of Tianspoitatlon Is a
innxqueiade designed to dhert public at
tention from the shameless sell-out of
the people by the ptesent members of the
state bonrd.
The history of the state rallioad coin-
mission , known ns tlie State llontil of
Tiaii'-poitatioii , offois an Instructive les
son. In 1SSO an amendment to tlie con
stitution creating an elective state rail
road commission was voted down at the
polls by a decisive majority. The people
if Nebraska although desiring icllef from
extol donate tolls and protection ngaiiist
favoritism had no faith In nillroad coin-
missions either elective or appointive.
They demanded fiom the legislature the
enactment of laws llxlng maximum rates
and Imposing penalties for disci inilna-
lion as contemplated In and authori/ed
by the state constitution. In defiance
of the expiessed will of the people the
leglslatuie of 1887 , chosen at the same
election at which the constitutional
amendment was i elected , passed a bill
at the Instance of the lalhoad managers
and framed by the rallioad attoineys
creating an appointive rallioad commis
sion. In older to get aiound the supteme
court decisions that no new executive
olllces can be cieated by tlie legislatme ,
the commission was to take the form of
thiee .sal.nicd seciet-nies to a bnard com
posed of three of the existing Mate
olllcers.
The manifest aim and object of this
legislation was to stave off lailro.td
regulation by law and pull the people's
no-es through tliiee lalhoad tools paid
by tlie taxpajeis. Tlie expectation of
the rallioads was that In due time the
law would be declared void by tlie couits
or that tlie powers of the boaid would
be cm tailed so an to make It haimless.
In tills they wore disappointed. When
the test case was made the supieme
com t not only upheld the law but con-
stiued it to give Hie commission all the
powcis of u'gulation which the legisla
tme could exeii'lse. Thwarted In tills
dliection the lallroad magnates found
little tumble In nullitjlng the law
thiough < ubseivlent seeiot.uies ap
pointed with their sanction and ap-
pioval. This line-faced impostme
natnially e\aspeiated the people and
finally uilmlnatod in tlie maximum i.ite
bills which weie promptly hung up by
tlie lailioads in the United States couits
IJvcr since the populists organi/ed as
a political paity their conventions have
made it a special point to denounce the
do-nothing state bo.nds of transpoita
tlon and their abolition was repeatedly
demanded In their platforms. Dining
se\eial sessions of the legislature popu
list members intioducod bills lepealing
the law creating the boa id which weio
carefully smothered by the lailroad mem
bers of their own and other pa i ties.
When tlie populists came into full con-
tiol of the state government a year ago ,
it was expected that one of their flint
acts would be to do away with tlie use
less and costly State IJoaid of Trans
portation.
Hut here the people weie fooled once
moie. The policy of the fusion slate
goveinmcnt not to abolish sinectnes butte
to fill them and Increase theii numbei
became quickly appaient. All that was
done \\.is to exchange one set of i ilii i.id
puppets for a woise set , if such a thing
could be. The deposed .secietaiiea made
no pieieuse ot doing anj thing moie than
diawing their silailes. The new secie-
tniie-s pose as enemies ot monopolies and
tilists while they owe their places to the
railtoiid influence and take their oiden
at lailioad headquaiter- regulaily as
do the men who wear railioad nnifoinn
and badges. For eight months this f.nc
had been in piognvss .it the state home
when the appioaeh of the allied null-
monojioly conventions made a new
demonstiatlon necessary to pievent an
evpression lellectlug upon the bo.nd as
well as upon the whole fusion govein-
nifiit. The Tibbies case attorded the oi-
poitunlty foi another grand-stand play
and the i.illio.ul l.iwjers piomptly came
to the icseiie with an attack upon the
constitutionality of a law for which they
themselves me icsponsible and wliith
for ten yeais lias been on the statute
books and Its validity leeogni/.ed by
tlllMII.
While this ruse w .s Mieces ful with
the convention that was bnlldo/"d Into
haimony by tin-pan stage thunder and
skyiocket oi.ttory. tlie game can not bo
wotked so easily on the intelligent
masses.
C.ltAWUMl'ITII \ \ .1 D
TIio mayor and council me grappling
with the piolilt'in how to make ends
meet in vailous city funds , that thieaten
to gi > e out lielore tlie end of tlie fiscal
year. Tin exhibits recently submitted by
thoeompti oiler atid treasurer show that
tlie thieatened oveilaps are legacies of
the Itioateh administration , which
squandered many thousands of dollais
for political .street w'ork and pipe laying
In an efl'oit to peipetuate it.self. Tlie
problem now Is how to finance the city
within the limit of Its resouicos and do
the work which Is absolutely essential.
Theie Is no doubt that expenses can
bo curtailed In seveial of the dep.nt-
nients by laying off emplojes who can
bo spared , and tempoi.nily leduclng the
pay of Mich as aie retained , The pub
lic thoioughfaips must , however , be kept
In passable condition and the streets in
the business center kept clean.
Tlie tlie department must be main
tained In an elllelent condition and if
the fire fund falls short of the demand
the moans must be piovlded In some
way. It Is an open question , however ,
whether the foico cannot be reduced
at soveial points without materially ctip-
pllng It. With regard to the polleo It Is
a dlnVient matter. That body Is no
toriously top-heavy and can and should
bo pruned down within the limits of the
available funds. This will not Inteifero
with the exposition , which will not call
for an Increased polleo force befoie the
spilng of JSilS , when tlie new tax levy
can be diawn against.
In the health department there Is also
room for retienchment. Under the new
charter the police are requited to per
form the greater yurt of Uit > inspection
woik , for which special Inspectors weie
formeily employed.
Another Held for the economists Is the
street lighting department. The ga.s In
spector's oillce Is a sinecure that can bo
dispensed with. The duties devolving
upon the gas Inspector can be readily
perfoimed by the city elect ! lelan. The
distribution of .sheet lamps , too , can be
leadjusted so us to effect savings with
out materially deci easing tlie elllclcncy
of tlie street lighting.
While cutting down expenditures the
mayor and council should also device
plans for Increasing the icvenues , which
can be done without Imposing unjust
burdens upon holiest taxpayeis.
/i Bu/jfWM.iA' wir ;
The comment of the London Statist , a
journal of hlgji authoiity In llnanclal
matteis , on the outlook for American
seemltios , must be tegatded as leaysiir-
Ing. We have been healing for some
time that there was a feeling of distiust
abroad In regard to Ameilcan Invest
ments , that foielgn capital did not feel
sine of the future of our euuoiiey and
that the geneial sentiment was unfavoi-
able to putting any money into anything
Ameilcan. This was not surpiislng In
view of the fact that our own liuanciers
and newspapois weie continually a .seit-
lug that our curiency system was bail
nnd that theie was an Imperative neces
sity for lefornilng It. Such an assem
blage as that which mot at Indianapolis
some months ago and declined that there
could be no piospiulty In the United
States until tlie cmiPiicy system wan
changed , at the Mime time pioclalmlng
that theie w.ts continual danger oi panic
and llnanclal distmb.uiee so long as
existing conditions were maintained ,
could not tall to have an unfavoiable
effect upon foreign conlldoiiLO. Kiiri-
pean capitalists aie veiy apt to attach
undue impoitanco to such public ex
pressions as that of the Indianapolis con-
feience and hence to draw Inaccurite
conclusions. There is not the least I'M
son to doubt that Ameilcan secinltics
have sniffled abioad by leason of tlie
diseiedlting of our cuiiency system at
homo by tlie .so-called letouners
Theie appeals , however , to be an
awakening iibioiul which foreshadows a
change for tlie better. Already there is
moie demand for American secuiities
and tlie le.ison for tills ib been In the
declaiatlon of the Statist : "That theie
Will be iucieases in eainingsi is a moral
ceitainty. " This is a sound lew. Tlie
i.iilroads of the United States aie now
oaiuing moie than at a coiiespondlng
time lor seveial jeais , piobably since
lt > l > .i. Theie Is not the least icason to
doubt that their cainlngs for at least
a year to come will steadily inciease.
All the conditions arc fa\oiable to it.
tlndei such clicmustaiii.es , with tlie as-
sui.nico that the cuuency of the country
will be maintained on a sound basis , a
lestoratlon of faith abioad in Ameiican
.secuiities can easily be understood.
The contioveisy between Senatois
Chandler and Frye in regaul to the .sec
tion of the tin iff law which piovide.s lor
a disci Iminatlng duty of 10 pel cent on
Impoitations under certain conditions
seems likely to be altogethei itnpioht-
able. The chaige made by Senator
Chandlei is that the clause as It appt'iiib
in the ptesent t.uill' law was biiuepti-
tlously amended so as to imohe condi
tions not contemplated by the disci im-
Inating piovision in preceding taiill laws
extending over a long period. Senator
Frje take * , issue with this , as do .some
other iepiiblic.ni senators , asseiting that
tlie change in the wction of tlie new
tinilf was made without any conceil-
ment , as alleged , and without any doshe
to accomplish any ciiange fiom existing
Loiulltlons. Senator Allison , as a num
ber ol the senate finance committee , lu ?
distinctly btated that he knew of nothing
in connection with section ' 1 of tlie taulf
law tliat was not pmfeetly pioper and
legitimate and he has expiessed the
opinion that it wa.s not tlie intention of
congiess to btilke at tlie competition of
the Canadian lailioads.
We cannot see what good can ailse
fiom this issue between .senators in lef-
cientu to tills matter , except in the pos
sibility that it may lead to a pioposltion
lor changing tiie legislation at the com
ing session of umgtess. It Isery im-
piob.ible , however , whether this can be
done. It ib moie than likely that if
biought to a test it would lie found tliat
a majoiity in both houses of congies ,
aie In la\or of the provision as it sl.imli
in tlie piesent law , which in an Impor.ant
lespect is diffeicnt Mom the discilml-
natlng clause In piecuding t.nia' laws ami
conseinieiitly moie likely to involve us
in conflicts witii other commeicial na
tions whose ships do a lingo p.nt of our
inteinatlonul trade. "Especially i.s theie
danger of an Issue witii Great Itiitain ,
gio\\ing out of an inlerpii'tation of the
commoiclal treaty or tieatles witii that
nation. There lias not been mui.Ii said
abioad In icgaid to tills matter , but tlieie
can be no doubt that sooner or latei we
Hhall haw1 some wiy positive statements
fiom Huropoan governments and pai-
ticulaily fiom that of Cireat liiltaln on
the suliject.
Of course a great deal depends ujion
the intei pi elation of section 'Jli of ( lie
taillT law by the attoiney geneial of the
United States , which Ib expected to bo
made public within the pie.sent week. If
tliat oflleial should give a ladlcal con-
stinctfon of the piovlslonbo tliat it would
be made applicable to goods coming Into
the United States In bond over Canadian
ratio.ids and to mcichandlse Imported in
ships fiom counties ! not embiaced In
commeicial treaties , there Is leason to
expect the development of n. new Issue of
moio or less giavlty to our International
commeicial relations. Undoubtedly tills
la fully re.ili/.ed at Washington and tlie
attoiney geneial is thorefoio giving the
most ctneful deliberation to the subject.
In the meanwhile wo cannot seewlmt
profit tlieio can bo In discussing how the
discriminating clause In the new tariff
law came to assume Its present form.

There never has been a convention BO dis
graceful to the day and the age as tlie dem
ocratic state convention held at Heading
Wednesday. It Is dllli-'ult to speak with pa
tience or calmness of the proceedings
Instead of doing Its obvious and necessary
work the convention resolved itself into a
dlsoiderly mob , not amenable to ordinary
usage or parliamentary control , and pro
ceeded first , without rightful authoiity , fo
thrust Mi. Harrltj out of his place as a
member of the National Democratic com
mittee , becomlly , to adopt a red ing plitform
on an Issue not in controversy which had
been condemned by the laigcst majority
over cast at an election In Pennsylvania ;
and , thirdly nnd lastly , as a sort of after
thought , when the way to possible success
had been blocked and barricaded , to name
candidates for auditor general and state
truabuier.

The populists and the frco sliver repub
licans felt It Incumbent on them to attempt
to explain why wheat } s gone up to the
great enrichment flf , fho Nebraska , farmers
while silver has , sunk to 51 % cents an
ounce. The populisti.ptato . that

ance of the world. "
It is eas ) to uoVha # disagreeable to these
follows Is that PJftfPflty which the farm
ers of their state are enjoying at this mo
ment. They assure those farmers that this
prosperity Is quite accidental , duo to crop
failures abroad , which they deplore , and
that cheap silver dollars alone can give
permanent prosperity.
But these free Bllverltes do not attempt
to explain to the wheat ralsurs how they

they were paid for their grain in 33-ceut
free coinage silver dollars Instead of 100-
cent'gold dollars. Were thuy to get two
and a. half of the former where they uow got
one of the latter they would got less value ,
though getting forty times the weight In

Nor do the frcu sllverltei promise that
crops shall bu good In the United Slates and
