i — THE DAILY BEE.| E. ROSEW ATER: EDITOR: Tk present senatorial dead lock is » hard lock to pick. Durixa March 45 immigrants landed on cur shores. Immigestion in March came in likes lion Arroros of the seaton, the Boston Courier remarks that even an Easter egg isn’t as bad es it is psinted. Tuz attempt of the Republican to beadline John Sherman into the dem- ocratic party was somewhat of a fall- are. SExATOR SHERMAN thinks the new seoretary of the treasury will do.

It is indefensible and demora- lizZing. Since the senate went into executive session, the preeident has made 207 nominstions, only twenty- five of which have been confirmed. There are slso three treaties awalting concurrencs by thesenate in executive session. Au interesting feature of this dead lock is, that the democraty have slnce March 24th made thirty- nine metions to gointo exocutive scesion, and the record shows that each motion was voted down by a strict party vote—by the republicans. While the ‘reputlican scnate is en- gaged 1n this apparently hopeless and senseless contest. the supremec court vacancy has on several occasions ne- cessitated @n adjournment of that body for want of & quoram. No cir- cult court can be held in the fifth ju- dical distriot, ms there is no jodge. The business of the court is large and important. There is no marshal of the District of Columbis, and court business at Washington is at « stand i " Thio-oomams vk clatoe ie alng clossd owing to extating vacaucies. Besides thia blockade of the courts,important forelgu missions and other federal offices remain vacant. The dem- ocrats can woil afford to held out. The responsibility of adwministration rests upoa the republi- can party, aud it cannot efford to block the wheels of government for the sake of Mahone or the political barnacles who want to fill positions as door-keepers, messengors and clerks for the senate. TEE RELIEF MEETING. Tue Bee carnestly directs the at- tention of its readers to the call for a mass meetlng of the citizens of Oma- ha, to take immediate action for the relief of the sufferers from the floods in Nortliern Nebraska and Dakota. This meeting, which is called by Mayor Boyd at the request of many of our leading citizens, will be held at the court house on Saturday evening, at half-past seven o'clock. The court house should be crowded to overflow- fng. Omaha is not slow to auswer o the appeals of the unfortunate in other states and countrics. Sho will be even less slow to hurry to the res- cae of the destitute and dying in her own state aud on her own borders. Reports from the inundated rogion Tepresent over seven thousand people eufforing for the necessities of lif Thousands are homeless. Dakota is utterly unsble to meet the demands upon her psople for shelter and provisions. Northern Ne- braska s too poor to be expected to contribute. Itfs to the wealthier portions of the state and to Omaha particularly that the sufforcrs from the flood in Dakota and Nebraska bave the right to lock. Omaha will not belie her splendid record of the past. Lot there be a full meeting,one worthy of the present reputation of our city sud of her past history. — _ Tar dead Czar had & hard time of it during the last four years of his life.

The report that the Earopean mon- archies are moving to cartall the right of seylam for refugees may well be received with alarm by all lovers of liberty and adherents of = republican form of government. For many yesrs past, in England and Switzerland, and in Fraace since the fall of the empire, that right has been construed to mean practical protection for all politicsl coffences - committed in another eountry. Tt had a parsliel in ancient times in the citles of refuge where safety wss 'gusranteed to the refugee from the vengeance of his pursuers, It has been in practical operation L. our own country since the foundatlon of the Republic. Under the right of seylum, as here- tofore construed, political refugees were assured of complete securi- ty from arcest and annoyance on demand of the nation frem which they had fled. The secarity guaranteed by this construction has ‘been rosponsible for the sddition to the United States of thousands of her most valuable citizens who came here as political exiles. Through a like construction of the law, Russian con- spirators have found shelter in both Eongland and France. The arrest of the oditor of a soclalistic newspaper in London, on complaint of tho Russian government, for publishing opinions in justification of assassinatinas a proper mesns of ridding the world of tyrants, indicates that there is a dls- position to define the range within which political refugees may act. Theendeavor to overturn governments by the death of the ralers and by maans of a consplracy of the goverzed has heretofo.e been regarded strictly as a political offenso, - It will be found avery dangerous experiment to at- tempt to define too closely the divid- ingjline st which such strokes for lib- erty shallmake political refugees com- mon criminals. The difficulty in each case will be the determination of the nature and amouat of evidence required to secure the sur- render of an accused polit- feal refages. Charges csn easily bo tramped up and surrounded by a show of proof, in ordor to secare pos- session of an onemy to tyranny. Had any such limitation been placed on tho sacred right of asylum, Kossuth would to-day be rotting In a felon's gravo, Garabaldi} would long since have perlshed on the scaffold, Mazzini would have puid:the pen- alty of his love for liberty with his life blood, and Carl Schurz would hase suffered death at the hands of King John's execationers. Had ihe right of asylam been curtail- od, every Fenian prisoner in this coun- try would have been sent back to England uader trump»d up charges of conspiring against her Majesty’s life, a2d Rochefort, who nevsr shed any- thing except red ink, would have been captured on his way acroes our c... i neat and harried back to France and the guillotine. Free governments ehould refuse to constitu’e themselves policemen fur despots. They shouid refuse to ralse the hue and cry sfter every poor wretch, who, faili secure the free- dom of his ccuntry or the removal cf the enemies of liberty and escapivg the clutches of some continental tyrant, secks safety on friendlyshores. America ospecially should forcibly and emphatically decline to join in any agreement luoking to the curtsilment of the sacred right of acylam and should use her every effort to influence other natlons to a like declsion, Tux Herald dubs Omaha tho Gate Oity.

A prompt application to the local land office prevented the consumma- tion of this fraud, but a grest any other honest men have baen less for- tunate in discovering the attempts of sharks and have lost everything.
