Morrison's committee were read from the speaker’s desk. The heaviest tariff revision will be made on paper dur- ing the coming session. That is- sue no more divides the party to- day than the issue of the con- tinued coinage of the silver dollar. The democratic leaders who conceal their thoughts on tariff reduction with a eloak of meaningless verbosity. fear a re- duction of the party majority more than they do anything else. This is why it is again announced that the present con- &ress will probably take a conservative oourse dealing with important ques- tions. In nine cases out of ten, congres sonal conservatism means individual cowardice backed by financial induce- L aments Lo inaction. sealp still re- | sl Forced to Back Down, The strike on the New York elevated railronds last week afforded Gould and his stock jobbing associates another op- portunity to exhibit their reckless de e | of public interests. They promptly | availed themselves of the occasion Failing to compel the engincers to work at unreasonable hours on an unsatisfae sry schedule of nd fearing a strike, they decided to mal hort work of the controversy by suspending travel on the Second enue and the ith enue lines, with the object of throwing the engineers out of employment. Orders to that effect were issued in which they asked the kind indulgence of the public until the matter was settled. The orders we within a few hours, prices s rescin Mr. Gould and his associates had their at- tention called to the important fact which | they had neglected to consider, that their high landed procecding was suflicient ground under their charter for the im- mediate revocation by the state ew York's monopoly managers have been noted for their cool disregard of the rights of the public and their open de- | fiance of the laws, but this performance | beats the record of brazen che 1f | common carviers can at pleasure suspend the operation of the public at larg enviable position of dependence the temper of the railromd mang The refusal to vote honds to grant rights of way to erush out competition hy ¢ ing to patronize rival ronds might ¢ and all be made the excuse for putting on the serews. It is remarkable that the managers of the Elevated railvoads had the audacity to order such a movement | in the face of the decision of the courts in the great freight handling strikes of | 1882, The relations of the public to the corporations and their obligations to carry out their charter contracls were clearly defined as follows, in the decision at that time: These facts reduce the question to this: Can railroad corporations refuse or ne perform their public duties upon a contro- versy with their employes over the cost or | expense doing them? We think this ques- their public functio would be placed in ¢ npon tion admits of but one answer. The excuse | has in law no validity. The duties imposed | must be discharged at whatever cost. They cannot he laid down or abandoned or sus- pended without the legally expressed consent of the state. The trusts are active, potential | nd imperative, and must be exeeuted until lawfully surrendered; otherwise & public highway of great utility is closed or ob- structed without any process recognized by law. This is something no public ofiicer | eharged with the same trust and duties in re- ward to other public highways can do without subjecting himself to mandamus or indict- ment. Little by little the men who have cre- ated fostered the idea that the publi » made for the railroads, and not the railroads for the public, are learn- ing that th have underestimated the powers which reside in the people for enforeing equity and justice even in cor- rate monopolies. The trend of all ju- ial opinions on disputed points is to construe strietly the privileges granted to the corporations and to give wide lati- tude to those reserved to the people. The history of the one of progress in restric (nw the aggressions of the great monopolics. The rapidity with which the Elevated railroad man- agers came to terms after the forced ck down shows that there is a point be- yond which even Mr. Gouldand hi cannot go in dealing with their patrons. gang An Unfalling Crop. ‘While the east is worrying over the prospective failure of the ice crop and the speculators are still engaged in figur- ing up the surplus of grain_carried over from the past year, the erop of office- seckers continues to inerease in such numbers as to dismay the statistic grind- ers at the national eapital who attempt to estimute its proportions The hope that the civil service law would reduce the numbers of the legion who are pressing on toward Washington in an insane de- sire to shed ink for their country has proved a false one. One of the sections of the law apportions the appeintments to be made under its provisions among the stutes aud territories, according to populution. It was supposed that this would prevent excessive office king in one scetion as against other seetions, Th sult has proved to the contrary. According to the report of Commissioner Eatou, Maryland had double the apph- cants of all New England with New Jer- sey and Delaware added, although she was only entitled to ninetcen appoint- ments to the thousand, Virginia has an equal appetite, while little Delaware had more applications than Vermont, Flori- da, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Ohio, never modest in her demands, swings boldly to the front with double the appli- cations of Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, while Indiana also has more applications than the six states just named The desire to hold oflice has become a mania which nothing seems to check. I'he oflice-seeker seems to imagine that public oflice means plenty to get and little to do. Young men, whose ambi- tions if turned into other channels would bring them handsome returns, are will- ing to sacrifice indupendence and D liant prospects for the sake of holdingk down a chair in one of the departments. The only sure thing about a gov ment ition is that the longer it is held the more it untits the oecupant for any other business So long as it is earned the sal- ary is paid, but when it stops it stops very suddenly, The chronic oftice holder out of oflice is one of the most pitiable sights of the present da Advoeates of a gold sta are re- luctantly forced to admit that there is ; little prospect that the silver dollar will | be demonetized at the present session of congress. The most ful canyass fails | to show a majority in favor of repealing the coinage act. On the contrary, the preponder of opinion scemsto be opposed not only to demonctization, but | 10 any change looking to a suspension of coinge or an increanse in the weight of | the dollars as now coined. Mr. Carlisle's committee on coinage probably repre- sents the temper of congress on the sub- jeet. Itis headed by Mr. Bland, and its mewbership is suid to stand, outside of the chairman, tack on silver the relative stans the two metals. in opposition to any at- or readjustment in rd of value between For some reasons this is to be regretted.

Noxt to o line into the northwest, built from Omaha and controlled by Omaha capital, the most advantageous move in the inter- ests of the city would be the direct, exten- sion of the Chicago & Northwestern from Fremont eastward to the Missouri at Omaha. Connecting lines from Ken- nd Bell Creck wonld only help matters by shortening by a few miles the distance to the main line. An extension along the old Dey survey would bring the main line of that important system to our doors, and would make Omaha the actual terminus another transcontinental line. Why cannot Manager Hughitt and his asso- ciates consider the advisabili y of sucha movement hefore definitely deciding upon the construction of the proposed stub northward? With the headquar- ters of the road removed to Omaha as proposed and the operating force rvesi- dents of our city, local assoviations would rapidly foster a feeling of mutual inter- est which would go far towards remoy- ing the antagonism of the past. With the terminus of the main line on the Missouri at this point, the Northwestern would at once be regarded by our people as 1y an Omaha road, traflic would inerc to mutual advantage and both parties concerned would reap the benefits of the change. Ilox. JouN M. LANGSTON, ex-minister to Hayti, has been making some sensible remarks on the negro question. Mr., Langston thinks that the negro under- stands that he has reached the second stage of his social condition since the time of reconstruction, and that he may begin to study the question of civil rights and settle it in the promotion of a wise \d patriotic desire. He begins ¢ that he may bring himse wtionship with the people of the south, in whose midst he largely dwells, as to blunt the edge of their past cumit toward him, and sceure, if possible, through political action, @ condition of things which will, while it brings him industrial r wards, edueational advantages, and gen- A moral improvement, sceure peace, thorough reconcilement, und general amity to both elas of the south. No one can doubt the possibility and proba- bility of the moral and social condition predicted. The change which is prophe- sied soon to come in the south eannot ap- pear to-day to be less reasonable and the prospect of its fulfillment less hopeful thun was twent ago the hange which has y taken place regards the status of the colored citizen of the north. The negro problem is to | solved by the negro himself in his culti- vation of intelligence, virtue, wealth and ood understanding.
