THE BEE PUBLISKING COMPANY, PROPRIETORS E. R En1TOR. AnoNG the multitude ot elaims now before congress there are fully 1,500 that areof a strictly private character. It would seem that such matters should be adjusted by the court of claims. Tie forest products of the United State: are worth w-day not less than $300,- 000,000, which is a good deal more than the value of the metal and mineral out- put of all our mines of coal, gold, silver, eopper iron and lead, all pur together. This 1s conclusive proof of the value of tree planting. Tue Mississippi legislature has passed an act taxing whisky drummers, but ac- cording ta scent United States supreme court decision such alaw is unconstitu- tional. The Mississ - dontly do not read the newspapers, other- wise they would have known of the Michigan case in which the decision was rendered. Tue Connecticut legi ure has again defeated a bill designed to prevent the aoceptance by members of free railroad P A similar bill would mect a like fate in the Nebraska legislature. The average legislator in any state is not generally known to refuse anything, and in taking advantage of all the ithin his reach. Our of 7,000 bills and 1y duced in the house thi a dozen of any importance have been passed. ore is a great waste of time and money 1n the introduction of useless bills, which as a rule are introduced for political cffect or to satisfy the cranks. It costs a congressman nothing to intro- duce a bunbombe bill in order to make his constituents believe that he is legislator, solutions intro- on only about SECRETARY MAN s reported as no better. His case is snid to be a clear one of collapse, the result of overwork and worry as head of the treasury depart- ment. In Mr. Manning’s instance, to the enormous routine work demanding his attention was added inc: ntand an- noying applications for oflice, which made heavy drafts upon precious time. Combined with this was the opposition of a large and influential portion of his party to his financial policy. No wonder he succumbed to the strain. Nerves of steel and brains of crystal would yield to such a pressure. Tae sereams for harmony in the ranks of the Nebraska democracy would be heartrending if the public were not per- fectly aware that they are all for effect. The peace wanted is that which reigned in Warsaw after its sack and the victors h(-ld undisputed possession of the 1uin: far as the patronnge:neddiing bosses of Nebraska o concerned their only desire for harmony is of the kind which results from a prostrate rival. All the cant about democratic principles, party loy- alty and support of the administration has no other basis than the attempt to whip into line all opponents of boss rule, UNDER a rec xtdcmsmn of #4¢ supreme court, United States commissioners a permitted to charge docket fees, Th Wwill make ihat office i some cities wortn from 55,000 to $10,000 a ye: This ouly in keeping with the rule in all d partments of the federal judiciary ser- vice to roll up fees to the higl limit of the law. The clerks and marshals have for years pursued this plan with so much {::rinllc enthusiasm that a suitor, who onco had experien th costsin Un- elo 8am’s courts, never forgets his bill. There are costs In every direction and pomt of the compnss; costs before bringing suit, accumulating costs = during its pendage, accumulated costs during its prosecution and a mountain of ©Osts at its termination. The excessive foes of the federal courts have become a positive scandal, and the result is the movement to reduce them and to make the fee-paid oflicials salaried instead of dependent upon their collections. When the compensation of officors of the law depends upon the fees there is a constant tendency to bleed the suitor for the bene- {it of what his pocketbook holds, This is why the dread of beginning action in the fedoral courts on account of expense is - 18 s0 goneral. ACCORDING to that simon-pure organ * of republicanism, the Omaha Republican, which is conducted by a Greeley republi gn and an Andy Jobnson party bolter, mator Van Wyck was the only member of his party who voted agmnst the Ed- ~ munds resolutions. Senator Mitehell of regon and Riddleberger of Vuginia Kept him company. As a matter of fact, the FEdmunds resolutions were not - adopted by the eaucus. They were not made a party issue by a party vote before the question of their final adoption was reached. Senator Van Wyck ex- ‘ercised his right as a wman in voting according to his convictions against the tr issucs which the Ed- muonds resolutions vainly attempted to ® Jalse. They were valucless as cam rial, and uscloss from any standpoint of party expediency. They aflirmed what oould not be maintained, and they settled mothing but the inability of the senate to oross-examine the executive upon matters hich lay within his own province to de- tormine. Mr. Hoar and other senators, “whose republicanism no one will ques ‘tion, openly declined to be bound by the lutions while voting for their passage. ator Van Wyck, with his two repub- associates, preforred the more ast course of flutly declining to . ™dorse either their form or substance. The English Commission a Fallure. Advocates of railroad commissions as adjusters of the differences between the railways and their patrons are constantly pointing to the English commission as a successful example of the practical oper- ations of such a body. As a matter of the fact the English raiirond commission, though endowed with much greater pow- ers than those of any in this country, has failed to solve the problem for which it uted. A bill has recently been introduced in parliament to supersede it by another commission, with arbitrary powers of regulation, whose every order will have the force of a judgment, and from whose decisions concerni rates, fees and tolls no can be taken. The commission propos isto bo in effect a court of final resort, composed of profoundly learned judges, with most extensive powers, holding of- fice for life, and so liberally salaried that there shall be no ground for suspicions of corruption. An important clause in the bill requives the railway companic submit within a year a revised specifica- tion of their rates and charges and a re- vised schedule of maximum charges. Advisor be appointed to hear complaints, confer with the railways, and publish results. The whole design of the bill is to gv, the greatest publicity to all the affairs and methods of the railways. It is evident thav the present law in England fails for the reason that every like law in this country has fallen short of success. The commission is powerless to afford the relief desired. It can recommend, but it cannot enforce On this account commissions have stood in the way of sccuring redress because they have been used and are used as a sop to public sentiment and their e istence proves a barrier to effective legis- lation to remedy the evils which are the outgrowth of railroad mismanagement A commission like that projected in England to replace the one now vain! struggling to satisfy both the railroads and the public is less a commission than acourt of the highest jurisdiction and supreme power over all questions brought before It would be frce from the many objections now urged against ex- isting commissions, but the great cor- porations of England arc hardly likely to permit its creation. Russia Intriguing. There is a growing fecling of anxioty in England over the signs of Russia’s stealthy advance in Central Asia_toward the Indian frontier General Alikhanoff, the Russian fire cater, whose name was so prominent in news from Afghanista a year ago, has made an imposing entry into l’om]]vb, and has assured the natives 's protection against all ene- This is the same Ahklmnofl who, fow months ago, was announced ng been removed from his com- mand for cruel treatment of the people of Mery. It appears that the old Muscovite trick of disgracing in public but rewarding in private, military officers and diplom: whose #enl has mado them particularly obnoxious to England or some other great power, is still being played with skill and vigor. Alikhanoff evidently retains the support and confidence of his own supe- riors and there are other signs than his own actions which indicate that he may soon have another opportunity to win new laurcls upon the ficld of battle. The work of delimiting the Afghan frontier is at a standstill owing to the convenient illness of M. Lessar, the young Prussian diplomat and engineer, who figured 80 conspicuou:ly in London laat spring. It is an omineyg sign for M, Lesss? fo become ill again under such circumstances. He had a very important and convenient illness something over a year ago when Sir Peter Lumsden and his assistants of the British boundary commission were waiting to begin work on the frontler, and Russin was preparing to push the line far to the south by Boizing the Pendjeh oasis. At last accounts General Komaroff' was ex- pected to arrive at Pendjeh soon. This is preeiscly the move he would make if another grab for Afghan territory were contemplated. England is not idle. The railroad toward Quetta and Candahar is b pushed steadily forward and the depots of Hindostan are daily sending handreds of tons of material to aid in the construc- tion of this important line of mulitary supply. The British government is de- termined, if brought face to face with the possibility of war for their Indian posses- sions, to meot the iseue fully prepared. Russian ambition and Russian intrigue combined, apidly paving the way for future trouble in central Asia. When it will break out depends entirely upon the private whim of the White Tzar. Geronimo's Surrender. Geronimo and his Apache bucks have met General Crook and they ave his. The hostile Chiricnhuas have sur. rendered unconditionally and are now in custody. Dispatches from Fort Bowie announce that the Apache war is onded. This result is in a great measure due to the effect of the lamented Craw- ford's last campaign in which he pur- sued the flying Apaches to their lair in the mountains of Sonora and made them sue for peace. Butitis due no less to the active endeavors and clear head of George Crook who alone has tested the value of Indian scouts in a half do: campaigns and made savuge auxiliarie the backbono of his various expedi- tions in Arizona and Mexico. Now that Geronimo has serrendered without conditions, General Crook will be able to dispose of kim according to his deserts. It is safe to say that he will not be again returned to San Carlos and sub- jected to the effects of a divided authovi- ty, civil and militury. Tt isequally safe to say that Crook will flatly decline fu- ture vesponsibility for the conduct ot hostiles not placed under his complete contrel. Having eaptured the renegade Indians his duties in end after he has turned them over to the Indian department. Geronimo and his bucks should be put where they will neveragain trouble Arizona. A hemp neck- tie ora cool cell on the Dry Tortugas would be an effoctive settlement of the Indian problem so far as thoy ave concerned. As for General Crook he should be re- warded with the command of the depart- ment of the Platte, Having wound up the Apache campaign he can safely ex- change the climate of Whipple Barracks for the more sulubrious atmosphove of Omaha. Ais friends will be glad to meet him und welcome him to the command of a department in which he won bright laurels and where his name is held in honor and respect. Tur insurance tax of the country is an enormons one when the full extent is taken into consideration. It is estimated by insarance companies that in the United States last year dwelling houses were burned at the rate of one every hour, with an average loss of $1,806. Barns and sta- bles, fifty per weck. Country stores, three per day, with a loss of §110,000 per week. Ten jhotels burn weekly, with a loss per year of §$4,000,000. Every other day a Jumber yard goes up in smoke, each representing $20,000. Forty-four cotton factories, the loss in each case being $28,000; forty- three woolen mills at $25,000 each, and forty-two chemical works at st» cach, were destroyed by fire las Forty-two boot and shoe factories were consumed, the loss being $17,000 each. Theatres were lapped up by the flames at the rate of five per month; average loss, $10,000. Only about half as many court houses were destroyed, the cost of each being about $20,0007 MiLBURN, when asked if any of his recent prayers, especially that of a few days ago, whea he reterred to bucket shops, stock gambling and other kinds of gambling, were made with ref- erence to any member, he replied: *“Not atall. But when I speak as the chaplain of the house to the representatives of the lwnph-.l feel that I am addressing the nation.” Th a clear case of hedging, and is no doubt the result of Mr. Morri- son’s intimation to the chaplain that his remarks were altogether too pointed, and were considered personal by the congress- men whom he hit below the belt, as it were CHAPLAT A CHICAGO paper prints a copyrighted cablegram under date of Paris beginningZwith: “Count de Lesseps returned full of vigor and enthusiasm in behalf of his pet project, the Panama canal.” Then follows a column inter- view with the count.

Potter, eightoen miles east, is the only other town in the county with- in thirt; vo miles of Kimball.
