Bills kave been introduced in both houses of congress ealling for appropria- tions to strengthen our frontier posts, Forts Robinson and Niobrara. This ne- tion will meet with general approval. Each of these Nebraska posts holds an important position on our northern boundary. Fort Niobrara guards the right flank of the Sioux reserve and Fort Robinson the left. The latter post is lo- cated at the most commanding strategic point in the state, standing at the south- western corner of the great quadrangle of garrisons which surrounds the largest of all the Indian reservations. The war de- partment has been prompt to recogni its needs, and General Sheridan and the seeretary of war have united in an earn est recommendation for its rebuilding and enlargement to a capacity equal to the importance of its situation and the wants of the country over which it stands sentinel, Congressman Bragg of the house military committee has prepared a bilPwhich he will report this we to the louse, appropriating $175, Forts Robinson and D.

Edmunds has n leading in the o threatens to prove a boomerang of large dimensions. The debate upon the right of the senate secret inspection of papers which in- duced the president to make suspensions, has directed popular attention to the right of the public to a knowledge of the proceedings of s sessions of the senate. Instead of strengthening senator- inl prerogatives, the quarrel with the president has threatened seriously the ex- ccutive session nuisance, and aroused a demand that public business in the senate as well as in the house shall become pub- lic property. The only authority for the secret session is found in article 1, scction 5, of the con- stitution, which provides that ‘‘each houso shall keep a journal of the proceed- ings and from time to time publish tho same, excepting such parts as may in their judgment requi ecrecy,” and each house may determine the rules of its proceedings.” It will be at once noted that these provisions conter upon “eacl: house” the authority which the senate alone has ¢ ed, The house of representatives has never found it nocessary o transact its business be- hind closed doors. It has dealt with as important questions of public and international concern as the senate, and yet no member has cver even sng- gested secret session. The senate, on the other hand, began its deliberations with closed doors. It wasan aristocratic body which at first considered itse)f solely representative of the individual states and responsible only, to their respective legislatures. For six years and nine months after it came into existence it cunducted all its deliberations in secrct sion. It was not until December 9, 1795, that a resolution was passed that the gallery of the scnate chamber be permitted to be opened every morning as long as the senate shall be engaged in its legislative capacity un- less in ‘*such cases as may in the opinion of the senate require secrecy, after which the said gallery shall be closed.” Pro- visions were made in the rules (Rule 66) for the consideration of executive bt ness with closed doors, and in Rule 73, that all the business referring to nomina- tions in executive session should be kept rot. ‘Paking advantage of a constitu- tional clause applicable to both houses and intended to be used only in cases of national cmergency the senate has ere: within itself a star chamber whose pro- cecdings are by the rules made the confidential possession of the members, although relating entircly to matters of public concern and public intercst. The creation of the secret session by the senate was an assumption supposed to add dignity to that body. 1t has been re- tatiied for yoars after its Orlginal pur. pose was exploded as valueless, The na- tion looks upon the scnate as equally re- sponsible to individual voters with the house for their conduct of public business ‘They see in it only a co-ordinate leg body with lengthened tenure of office and possessing the added power of considering presidential nominees, They recognize no reason why star chamber methods which would not be tolerated in the house of representatives should be perpetusted in the upper house.

What to Do wath ‘I'here is naturally much interest ms fosted in this ity as to the disposal of Fort Omaha, in case the garvison is trans feryed to o new and more commodious location on the line of the railroads. The bill introduced by Senator Mander proposes to have the grounds, on wl the post is now located, vlatted into lots and sold at publie sale to the highest bid der. In e this is done, the most ad vantageous features of the present sito will be lost to our eity forever, Fort Omaba is now one of the most beautiful spots in the suburbs. Nearly half a million dollars has been expended from time to ih draining, grading, tree planting, lawns and build- ings. To break up the grounds and di- vide the property smong speculators woitld bring a comparatively small gwn nto the national treasury. - The build- ort Omaha, fngs would go for less than what the ma- terial is worth, and the land would sell at acre price But even if it would yield $2,000an acre, which is an extravagant estimate, the amount realized would not cut much of a figure. Why not turn Fort Omaha into a state military school? The people of Nebras- ka have an ample educational fund. They have at present no institution for purely military training. The so-called military instruction at the s univer- sity is mere child’s play. It is a volun- tary exercise giving students a chance ry gymnastics. It is merely an drill at its best and can in no led as fitting & young man active military command. The lacks military schools where training will fit young men mergencies which may and certainly will arise from time to time. West Point can only accommodate a handful of young men selected from a population of fifty-five millions. It is not expected that the government will supplement the Mil- itary Academy by another military school in the west. Even if it should do 50, the chances are one hundred to one it will not be located in Nebraska. he sonthern states have always main- tained military schools and some of the best Confederate officers were tr: in them. The west 1s full of sol and Nebraska hasa larger proportion of an any other state. But they would for west rigid tor education if they had the chance to do so. If the general government would do- nate Fort Omaha to the state of Nebras- ka for a military academy, we have no doubt whatever that she wonld accept the gift and execute the trust. The fort 1s admirably fitted for such purposes. Its grounds are ample for drills and parades. The quarters and barracks would for years be large enough for school rooms, and quarters. They would require very slight alterations. While Nebraska would profit by such an institution and take great pride in its work, Omaha would enjoy material ad- vantages from its establishment. Why annot Senator Manderson reconstruct his billz If it is absolutely necessary, as one of the conditions, Omaha will raise the money to buy the grounds for the new post. At present the transfer meets with some objections. These would be en- tirely obviated if Fort Omaha were trans- How to Relicve Labor. Public men in this country have, up to this time, Jamentably fai with the rabor problem. that something must be done to offset the effect of labor-saving machinery, which has crowded millions of wage-worl out of employment and caused an over- production of industrial commodities. Thoy are begioning to see that protection of capital by special legislation does not furnish bread and butter to laboring men. They realize that the tendency of the day to monopolize all employment under the control of great corporations has compelled labor to or- anize and pool its issues for its own de- fenso. Sy The only remedy proposed so far by our great statesmen has been buncombe resolutions, labor bureaus and junketting committees of investigation. The great nostrum of a high tariff has mainly served to enrich wealthy manufacturers and stimulate overproduction, but 1t is no longer regarded as the cure-all for labor troubles and the shield of safety against low wages. As a matter of fact the lowest wages paid in the country during the past five years have been in tie iron and coal distri of Pennsyl- vania, where white men earned from sixty to ninety cents a day, and were out of work half of the year besides. What labor wants and what it needs above all things is employment at living wages. Labor bureaus do not feed any- body, and do not employ anybody, ex- cepting a fow political ‘workers wh s have chiefly been in ward pol 5. Committees to investigate the condi- tion of lubor are all right so far s they go, but they do mnot afford relief to idle and sterving men and women. In foreign countries the surplus labor is often dis- posed of by Blood-letting is the great remedy of the landlords and barons of Europe, and they tax themselves by keeping up standing armies as the pri of relief from mobs and commun: There are those in this country 1dioti enough to imagine that a large standing army is needed to protect capital and property from the raids of the hungry laborers. Jay Gould would rather pay out millions of dollars for Gatling guns and bayonets than to tax himself for bef ter wages to his army of employes. If the capital and property of America ean affavd to nav for 160,000 men in armed idleness why cannot they afford to place 100,000 able bodied men at work? It it will pay to put bayonets and guns into the hands of a hundred thousand idle men, and supply them with food, clothing, quarters and fair pay in addi- tion, why will it not pay better to arm the same number with tools and imple- ments and set them to work on needed national improvements and needed national defences. ouis Napole- on pulled down the city of Paris and had it rebuilt in order to give his workingmen something to do. He con- structea the greatest naval station in the world at Cherbourg, built docks and ha bors, bridged vivers and tunneled the Alps chiefly with a view of giving the sur- plus laboring population a chance to live without rioting. To-day the Krench r publie proposes to spend ),000,000 for improving the waterways and enlarging the caruls, The true solution of the in this countr; the unemnlic r problem will be found in giving od something to do. There is an enormous surplus in the national treasur, All sorts of schemes to reduce it are devised except the right scheme If congress instead of wrangling about the educational bill would devise a lib- eral and broad system of public works the labor problem would solve itself without bayonets or guns. With a rot- ten navy to be rebuilt, with eanals that do not admit of steam navigation, with harbors withont defunces, and interior wateryiays entirely insuMcient for the nds of commerce, there is an field for ewploying labor profitably with funds frem the national treasury. We also need wany more pub. lic buildings than we have. There should be a public building in every city over 5,000 inhabitants. ‘There is no reason why the govermuent sbould pay vent for MARCH 23, 1886, postoffices and oxpose.the mails to des- truction in fire traps, ' Instead of para- lyzing commerce by raising their hands in horror over labor strikes,let them make labor strikes searee, by giving working- men something to do. A man who has plenty of work has little time and no in. clination to engage in disorder and vio- lence. 1f there was work enough for the idle men, all differences between labor and capi could be settled without a resort to strikes.
