A RATLROAD is ulready heing built—on paper—to tho Cwur d'Alene mining country. THERE aro a great many fast males in Omaha, but the C., B. & Q. fast mail, to arrive this evening, will beat them all, —_— Ex-SeNxator Seexcer flatly contradicts Tom James. As between James and Spencer there can be no question of veracity. THE coming rise reminds us that the Missouri is one of the few transportation routes in this country that is not watered by Jay Gould. - JusT wait until we get that new wagon bridge across the Missouri. Wo shall then be able to reduce the time between Omaha and Council Bluffs twelve hours, by standard time. O~E would suppose that the Cleveland ZLeader was being published in Omaha, when it says: *‘Republicans, select your ‘best men for candidates for thecity coun- il and board of education.” SeveraL big jobs are being put up to go through the present city council under whip and spur during its closing days. The belt road and the viaduct will play an important part in the proceedings. How wouLp it do organize a *‘commit- toe of invitation” to invite several gentle- men to take a trip for their health to some such place as Hot Springs, where the climate is more congenial to them ? . Cmroaco is a wicked city, but she is making efforts to get nearer heaven, and may some day redeem herself. Marshal Field, of that city, has taken out a per- mit to erect an eleven-story building on La Salle stroet, to cost $400,000. Ty Union Pacific owns the Council Bluffs street railway; it recently pur- chased the Omaha street railway; it is building the Anaconda belt line; it owns the city council; and it only remains to be soon whether it will accept as a gift what remains of the two towns not already owned by it. Arrnovan Tae Ber has not the con- fidential ear of the tripartite pool we beg leave to suggest that the only way to -offset the Burlington fast mailis to put on a chain lightning daylight limited ex- press, between Omaha and Chicago, with no stops at stations between terminal points, with air-pumps so that the pass- engers can catch their breath. —— Iz looks as if the Iowa legislature had about exhausted the finances of the state 88 well as ita own brain force, and the senato has agreed to adjourn sine dic.| on the 28th.

The Journal's poet was a little previous, and he " FRE DAILY BEE--OMAR REAGAN'S INTER STATE COMMERCE BILL. Congressman Reagan's inter-state com- merca bill has been considerably modi- fied owing to the adverse action of the committee on commerco, Mr. Reagan, however, has faithfully stuck to his work and manfully fought for his original bill, only yielding inch by inch, to the com- mitteo. He has been forced to make certain concessions and modifications, rather than have the bill entirely defeat- ed. After agreat deal of work he has prepared his bill as modified, and he has veported it to the house as a substitute for sundry inter-state commerce bills. His bill now consists of nineteen sections. Its first section provides that all charges for transportation of property by rail- roads from one state to another, or from any foreign country, shall be reasonable. The second section makes it unlawful for persons so engaged to reccive from ship- pers any greater or loss rato of compen- sation for carringe than is charged for like service to other persuns, The third section makes it unlawful for such per- sons to allow any rebate or drawback or advantage in any form to one shipper not allowed to all shippers. The fourth sec- tion makes it unlawful for persons or railway companies to enter into combina- tions to prevent the carriage of freights being continued between points of shipment and final destination for the purpose of avoiding the provisions of this act, also makes pooling combi- nations unlawful, The fifth sections ap- plios the provisions of the act to transpor- tation of all goods, whether carried by one road from point of shipment to that of destination, or by several roads in combination. The sixth section makes railroads failing to act liable to the per- son injured, or the actual damages and counsel fees, and the seventh adds a fine not exceeding $1,000 for each violation of the act. The eighth section providas for the appointment of three commission- ers, whose terms shall be six years each, and who shall each be paid 87,600 per annum, their duty being to enforce the provisions of the act. They areto be provided with olerks, their traveling ex- penses paid, they are to have an office in Washington, and may travel about the country to hoar complaints and examine into alleged violation« of the law. The closing section of the bill appropriates the sum of 40,000, orso much as may be necessary thereof, to carry out the provisions of the act, The most objectionable feature of Mr. Reagan’s bill is to commission.” We have no, faith in any commission being successful unloss clothed with political powers to enforce its dictum. The law will not enforoo itself, and the commis- n will be a mere ornamental body. It is an ingenious scheme to nullify the main objeot which Mr, Reagan had in the regulation of commerce. It leaves to the railroads to say what charges shall be reasonable. It is very doubtful, how. ever, whether this bill, even as it is, will pass, because there are still features in it which would be obnoxious to any rail road monopoly, and therefore it will be antagonized at all points, This is espe- cially true as to the provision prohibiting pooling. The fatal mistake of the fram. of the bill, if they design to make ilroads competitive, is that they as- sume that railroads do compete, whereas competition is always impossible where combinations must be made as a measure of self-preservation. THE FAST MAIL. ‘While the establishment of fast mail service between Chicago and Omaha is a very commendable enterprise, it will by no means meet the wants of Chicago or Omsaha, The train leaves Chicago at 8a. m., and the Chicago papers admit that they can but. poorly serve their patrons because it will be found very diffioult to collect the news of the coun- try, print the papers and have them de- livered by mailing by that hour, The bulk of the Chicago letter mail for the west is dropped iu the postofice before 8 p. m., and tho trains that leave over all the roads hetween 9 and 10 o'clock with this mail reach Omaha about the same time as tho fast mail train. Be- twoen 8 p. m. and 3 a. m,, when the fast mail leaves Chicago, thero is no carrier digtribution and the only letters that wopld leave Chicago, after the departure of the night trains, ave those that would be aropped into the Chicago postoffice building, For Omaha the advantage will also be found very slight, because only a few people who have lock boxes in the postoftice will procure any of the night mail before the following morning, Whenever the Chi. ©oago papers make connections with the fast mail, we shall have them at break- fast instead of at 11u. m.,, and there the advantage will end. — Tux effort to have Samuel J, Tilden uaqminated for the presidency, 1s declared by the Chicago Zribune to be s move- ment to rob the grave-yard, This ex- plains why so many promineni democrats wre seoking second place on the ticket. In the event of democratic success, the socond-place aspirants base their hopes for reaching the presidential chair upon the death of Tilden. M. Tilden, how- over, is not yet nominated, and if nomi- uated his election is no sure thing, and if elected he may postpone his wip to the grave-yard for four years, spectacle that cannot be very gratifying to their party. Ove wing, uuder Raodall, 15 making desperate resistance against tho attempt at tariff reduction, and the other faction, under the lesd of Morrison, com- prising & wmajority of the democrats in upon | the house, have planted themselves firm- Jyin favor of the proposed revision of import duties. One wing of the demo- oracy is trying to force through the bill to extend the honded whisky period, while the other wing retaliates for the opposition to the restoration of the old tariff on wool by opposing the bonded whisky bill. If this Kilkenny cat fight continues the republicans will have a walk-away next fall and the democracy might as well disband, ENPORCE THE LAW. The people of Omaha have been aroused as they never have been before to the necessity of enforcing the regulations and restrictions in the liquor traffic against all disorderly resorts, dens and low dives. When tho present high license law went into effect there was a disposition on the part of the city authorities from the mayor down to tho city attorney to treat part of the law as a dend letter. These officers were inclined to disregard the plain letter of the law in several im- portant particulars which constitute the best feature for the protection of socioty against the worst evils of the liquor traflic, They seemed to regard the income from the traflic as the only object of the law, whereas its main object is and should be to coufine the trafic within narrow limits among the class of dealers wio keep orderly places and do not harbor thieves, thugs, pickpockets, and outlaws generally. The law makes the granting of license an optienal matter with the board. They are forbidden to grant license to parties who are known to have violated the law or failed to procare thirty resident free- holders as endorsers of their good stand- ing. But the board is not compelled to grant licenses promiscuously even when the proper petitions have been filed. It is their duty to reject the application of any party who is known to the pulice as a keeper of a lisorderly house. Mayor Boydand City Attorney Mander- son atarted out wrong. Theyimagined that it was a great benefit to the city to get license money from anybody and every- body. They ruled that every applicant should have a license unless a remon- strance was made and proofs fureished in a regular trial to convict the applicant of a violation of law, This placed the dens and dives on a perfect equality with dealers who keep the most orderly and respectable places, It compelled the citizeds who looked to the mayor or city marshal for protection to run the risk of violence and abuse from the keepers and patrons of just such places as the old St. Elmo, now the Theatre Comique. Another ruling made by City Attorney Manderson, that the license could be collected by the quarter, instead of by the year in ad- vance, asstrictly required by the law, also defeated to a great extentthe main object of the law, namely, to restrict the trafiic. There may have been some excuses for these departures from the strict provisions of the law at the time it went into effect, because the ‘‘Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Association” was disposed to make an organized resistance to high license in any form, In other words, Mayor Boyd deemed it prudent to make concessions rather than to have a bitter fight during that exciting period. But thess concessions once introduced have resulted in the worse kind of abuses. Tho law requires that no license shall issuc until the board has examined and approved the petition and the bond of the applicant. The board conaists of tho mayor, president of ihe council, and city clerk. This board has practically been consolidated into one man, and that man is the city clerk, He alone is the great mogul who handles, controls and adjudicates the whole license business, The board holds no sessions, examines no petitions, hnd passes upon no bond, With the exception of the collection of the money, the whole thing isa farce and a fraud. The policy and the method pursued are contrary to law, and the result is that the most salutary features of the high license have been nullified. The timo has come, however, for our people to insist upon an honest enforcement of the law, and right here lot us say that the better class of saloon keepers are heartily in accord with this demand, We insist that the mayor and president of the council must per- form their duty in the premises, They must pass vpon every individual applica- tion and they must be held responsible for any failure to protect the citizens, They know, if they want to know, that certain applicants for license keep disor- derly houses and, are notoriously bad characters, and they have no right to say that they will issue license to such characters unless a protest or remon- strance is filed by citizens, backed up by testimony from witnesses, The law leaves the discretion with the board, and it does not contemplate the necesaity of respectable citizens visiting and patronizing vile dens in order to s oure testimony. Another thing that the board ought to be held respensible for is the issuing of licenses to persons who are acting merely as substitutes and tools for parties who have been convioted of 'keeping disorderly places, and cannot legally get a license in their own name, —ee Ir is quite evident that the Deuver Zribune has been annexed to one of the groat railroads which run into Colorado, Mr, Charles 8. Gleed, who has been trained in the Union Pacific and Atchi. son, Topeka & Santa Fe literary bureaus, has been made the editor of the Zribune at a *“*princely salary,” which only rail- roads can pay. We congratulate Mr. Gleod, but the people of Colorado have | uo occasion to rejoice. CEE—————— Tax Mexican republic is by no means | 80 slow & country as some people might } suppose. ¥ Already the government man- ifests 1ts intention of regulating the rail- rosds, by demanding a reduction of the tariff on the Mexico & Vera Cruz rail- road under the terms of the concession stipulating that the iariff rates must be reduced as soon as the earnings permit payment of 8 por cent. dividend on com- mon stock, Here is an example set for our own government, which has been soslow in the matter of regulation of ronds, which it has created wnd sub- zed. Tue board of education, having ob- tained legul advice to the effect that the wholesale liquor dealers can be compelled to pay licouse, has decided to take imme- dinto stops for the collection of such li- cenwo in the future. There is no doubt that the licenso law applies to wholesale dealers as well as retailors, The non- collection of the license from the whole- salers up to the present time has lost to the school fund many thousand dollars, a8 back license cannot be collected from them, according to the legal opinion ob- tained by tho board of education.
