THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 18806, The Gavernment Must Interfere, If the present unfortanate era of rail- road strikes has tanght the people of the country that nothing but national eon- trol of such labor troubles will prevent their recurrence the lesson will be cheaply purchased. Compulsory settlement ot labor troubles on avenues of inter-state commerce is the only al solution of this perplexing problem. 1f the strikes, lockouts and disturbances affect- ed only the corporations and their em ployes, the government might look on as an interested spectator. When such troubles paralyze husiness, destroy trade and vlock up traflie the matter becomes one of natronal concern. A few million aire capitalists now control §3,000,000,000 invested in a network of railroads bind ing together the different sections of the country, At any moment they can pre cipitate a strike for stock jobbing pur poses which will throw a quarter of a million of employes out of work and place thirty millions of people at their merey. On the other hand the unconsid- ered action of a few hot-headed enthu- sinsts can produce the same results The public meantime stands in constant danger of being ground between the upper and the lower millstones of voracious capital and indignantlabor. Mr. Reagan of Texas stands on the old democratie ground of strict construction He finds no more power in congress to regulate questions between common car- riers and their hired Iabovers than ques- tions between common earriers and their butchers or grocers, These are local questions, he says, and the fact that one of the parties might be engaged in inter state commerce does not give congress jurisdiction. If this is the case, power must he given the government. It is pre posterous to pssume that the entire in- land commerce of the nation must be paralyzed from time to time beeause there is no authority who has power to step in and prompt- ly settle the trouble. Labor has rarely refused to submit to peaceful arbitration of its differences with vital has frequently found it to its advantage to decline a settlement. The possibility of such dis late strike on the southwestern system must be forever done away with power of adjustment greater than the sclfishness of capital and the hunger of labor must step in with a strong d and interfere. The interests of ali classes demand it. Menacing India. The British foreign oflice is kept very busy at the present time in watching the manceuvers of Russia in Central A Russian diplomacy is winning over the Afghan tribes to the support of the czar. Muscoyite agents are organizing Russian colonies along the track of the great highway which leads from the Caspian to the Indus, and Russian engineers with a large force of soldiers are rushing with remarkable rapidity the construction of ilrond to Merv. Every one of tl subjects on the Afgl bound sion is prosclyting for his master, ttering bribes right and left among frains and losmg no opportunity to impress upon the minds of the natives thewr own powerful backing and the weakness of the British. As a cor quence, the Afghans on the south of the boundary line are becoming disaffected, while their brethren on the north are well supplied with Russian roubles and are strong adherents of the czar. Meanwhile the railrond which Russia has long been engaged in building cast of the Caspian Russin 15 now ready to hurl the firebrand in the powder house of Eu- ropean politics, while France retired from her old-time role of the disturber of the peace of the continent. THE old ocean cable companies having failed in persuading the Mackey-Bennett company to maintain rates have made an enormous cut in their tolls. Twelve cents a word will now send a cablegram from Omaha to any place in Great Britan, France or Germany. This will not make any diffcrence, however, in atos for “grane yine" cable service paid )y some of our enterprising contem- poraries. M. GLADSTONE'S splendid confidence in the ultimate result of his home rule and land purchase measures is inspirit- ing his followers to such a degree that the defeat of these measures on their second reading is by no means certain. The Irish press is filled with grateful eulogiums on the only English statesman who has had the moral courage to draft such radical reform measures and the magnificent gift of oratory to urge with eonvincing arguments their acceptance upon a prejudiced and stubborm con- ituency. ——— THE assaults upon prominent members of the law and order league at Lincoln, which have appeared within the past few days in our Lincoln correspondence, do mot meet the approval of the editor of the Brr. They are unjust, uncalled for and calculated to bolster up the disorder- Iy, vicious and lawless eloments not only in that community but all over the state, Qur position with regard to closing dis- orderly resorts and the curbing of law- lossness has been time and again defined and we do not recede from it. Woe look upon these attacks as inspired by elemeonts which should be repressed and not encouraged. Tt does not matter tous or socicty at large, what has been the previous private record ot any indi- vidual who is upholding the hands of the officers of the law in the suppression of dives and dens. Even if they had once been the most depraved of criminals, they deserve to be encouraged in any effort of moral reform, instead of being abused, villified and threatened with exposure of their past carcer. These are our sentiments, uninfluenced by any man, and without complaint from any source. Matter that does violance to the principles which we uphold aud the sentiments which we entertain will ereep into our news columns from time to time in spite of all vigilance. The at tacks on members of the Law and Order league of Lincoln were of that nature. It is hardly necessary to state that the threatened exposures will not be printed in this paper. If any public official or private citizen gets into the courts on aceount of crookedness, oris guilty of & flagrant publio seandal, it will be a jmate picce of news no matter er he is a good church member, or r in some beneyolent society, or & Bigh toved - capitalist living on his in- gome.

If political complicutions at home or foreign troublos, whether in Egyvt or any other quarter, should em- barrass the British government and seem to expose India to some measure to attack or menace, it would not be sur- prising to hear of s-25tiiston on the Afghan trontier such us that at Penjdeh a year ago. Unless, however, there siould be somo special reason for making the at- tack now, it will probably be postponed until the Russian line of communication becomes more perfect and the mvasion of Afghanistan less difficult. The eye of Russiun ambition is fixed on India, Help Out the Cable Koad. The debate at the last meeting of the city council scems to show that there is an organized opposition to the inaugura- tion' of the cable system in Omaha, which, unless checked, may deprive this city of the benefits of safe and rapid transportation. Such a result would be most unfortunate. Cable roads are now everywhere taking the place of railways in citics where grades are stcep aad stregts climbing the bluffs are difticult of access, Thoy have been a success for years in San Francisco. Chicago long ago adopted them. Much of Kansas City's tremendous boom is due to the construc- tion and operation of the eable roads. It will be the crowning uct of folly of the city council of Omaha to allow itself to be made the tool of interested men in throwing such restrctions around the organization of a cuble The new company or duce the service in Omabais a strong and & vesponsfbla eng, It has the means and the inclination to give this city as good ns the best. All of the stockholders are heavily interested in Omaha's growth and developmert, While they see in the construction of the cable line an oppor tunity for profitable investment, they also recognize that in its operation Omaha will reap more than equal ad- ntages through the benelits of rapid transit and increased value of property along and near its route, Our people need a cable systtm and are anxious to see it put into speedy operation. The opportunity has come. The men are here and the capital is on hand. Nothing stands in the but action on the part of the city council grauting them proper privileges of right of way unincumbered by havrassi needless restrictions. If in order operate its line the eable company must pledge itself to run in front of every councilman’s property the voad will not be. built If under the nawme of Ygafegnards,” provisions are exacted making it impossible for the line to pay any profits in the future, the capitalists interested will not invest. 1t is right and proper that in réturn for the privil cges granted rates of fare and the route velled shall be regulated Ly ordi- nance, and that the public convenienee shall be carefully protected. But there is such a thing as an undue regard for private interests outweighing anxiety for the public welfare. The council owes it to Omaha to help out the eabie rond by every legitimate means, not to hamper it. —_— Drifting Apart, The president and his party are daily drifting apart. Democrats of the old fashioned school are disgusted with the failure of the administration to swing itself into line with Jacksonian princi- ples, and latter y democrats are efual disgnsted beeanse every move toward rinonizing one clement by patronage distribution widens the breach by offend- ing those who are left out in the cold. Tne president has set views on a v ty of subjects of national importance, while the views of the majority in congress are almost as divergent as the distriets from which they come. Congress, which was expected to prove itself an able working body capable of sustaining the hands of the administration and strength- ening the party throughout the country, has been a lamentable failure. Its pro- fessions of economy have turned out be hypocritical shams, and its able leaders have devoted their talents to trying to de- stroy each other’s influence. It is divided upon every question of national polic and devoted only to building up the po- to Five months of the and the only record lonsy and imbecilit lence in the ad- 1se the admin- ty.

The supreme court at Washington has decided to hear the arguments on the question whether » zen of the United States can be placed twice in jeapordy of his life. Bo- hanon, it will be remembered, was victed of murder in the second degree, appealed hi o and on a second trial was convicted of murder in the first de- gree and sentenced to death. His counsel appealed to the supreme court on the con- stitutional question whether his execu- tion would not be unjustly depriving him of life. The appeal was opposed on the part of the state on the ground that the court had no Jjurisdiction. The court overruled the motion to dismiss and Quinn will now be given another chance for his life. Whether he eseapes the gal- lows or not, he is probably convinced by this time that it is a dangerous experi- ment to kill a fellow-man because he spelled peddler according to Wor unabridged. ester's rd of public called to the condition of several leading paved thoroughfares, are full of holes and depressions, unfilled cuts, planked ov trenches and dangerous gans. On Farnam street, in half a dozen places, the pavement has been replaced so badly that accidents are liki to happen at any time. North Sixteenth street is even worse. The asphalt between the rails of the car tracks is worn away, and in many places on the street outside of the tracks it is loose and orumbling. Dangerous ruts and jogs, deop outs in the pavement and the base, trenches covered with planks and holes entirely unprotected, make the roadway diflicult to travel over, and in some places dangerous to horse flesh. Now that settled weather come there is no reason why the necessary repairs should not be made at once.

The cable roads will necessarily have to pay for any attachments and alterations required by it, as a condition to its right of way. The street railroad will have to pay for the cost of its tracks on the vinduet, and both of these corporations should be compelled to pay tieir portion towards maintaining the viaduo astreetis paved, the street required to pay for the costof paving between the tracks. The same principle should be apphed in the use of the via- duct.

Chicago Tribune: April 4 the boycotts ing board of the 1rade and Labor assem- bly of Chicago stated that “they were alarmed by the increasing frequency of demands for boycotts,” and reported the following resolutions, which were adopted: The exporience of your boycotting board during the last few weeks compels it to make the following recommendation : Whenever any union of this body desires the support of the Trade and Labor as sembly in matter of strikes, that it be re- quired to submit to the assemblv a full statement in writing of its grievances with such demands (also in writing) as are involyed in the issue. That such grievances and demands shall therenpon be placed in charge of a committee of arbitration— the exceutive officers are herehy elected as such com mittee - wnose duty it s| honorable and peace: adjustment of the difficulty, and th: boycott shall be issuned against any indi vidual or firms until said’ committee of arbitration shall have failed. That when the assembly assumes ponsibility of v strike, boycott, ete., its power to adjust such difficulties through its proper committees, aided by a similar committee from the union hay ing such griovance, must be recognized To the extent that these vesolutions con demn the un-American practice of boy: cotting they deserve hearty approval. Evidently they w drawn by men who seo that the “'boyeott™ is a dangerous, double-edged weapon, and something must be done to supptess the rage for resorting to it The Chicago and Labor Assembly has done wisely in at- tempting to put a curb on the hoycotte but it ought to have gone fnrther condemned the boyeott itself as a p tice entitled to no toleration or encour agement in a free country. It was well for the Labor Assembly to condemn fre- quent and indiserimimate hoyeotts, but it ought not under any circumstances to give its sanetion to an invasion of the personal liberty and rights of free citi- zens under whatever nume or pretense such a_dangerous practice may be at tempted An American eitizen is supposed to hold as inalienable the right to i liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in all that these terms imply. Among these vights there is none more sacred than that which séeures to cach citizen the privilege of buying and sclling or disposing of his oods or Iy yor on such terms and in such manner as he sees fit. The boycott has no place in this country, unless’ free citizenship is to be regarded herc a miserable sham. Boycotting origmated in Ireland as an mcident of the struggle between foreign landlords and the peas- ants; itis an ofishoot of misgovernment and oppressi nd took root only when the country was in a condition scarcely a degree removed from revolution. The boycott is an_exotic on American soil; there is nothing in the condition of the United States to excuse or palliate it, and men who are disposed to boyeott the per- sonal rights and liberty of others ought to be told in all kindness and sincerity that the American people will not tole- e it. Personal liberty includes the right of every man to buy, sell, scck employment, or dispose of S wares in any quarter without mterference. The law guaran- tees him those rights. Men who claim such rights for themselves and yet organ- ize to prevent their enjoyment by others have yet to learn the fivst principles of American citizenship. Nothing can be more certain than that if boycottingis not brought to a stop in this country all cl who belicve in the preservation of Al rights, including employers and employes, will combine and boycott the boycotters. Just as certanly as one ex- treme produces the other will the boycott prove a deuble-edged sword to be turned against those who appeal to it. W f the Trade and Labor Assembly will go further in the line of the resolutions al ready adopted and condemn the boycott as a practice wholly evil and entitled to no countenance in a free country. - Couldn't Stand Good Fortune, It 18 said that Newcombe, the heir to the great Morgan estate i New York, was lor many years a hard-working, robust, and vigorous plumber, who by diligent labor kept the months'of n_large family of children filled. The cffect of the fortune upon him has been nnfertu- nate, He has settled into a condition of allid_melancholy which nothing can ift. His ruddy color is gone, and he is as white as a spook. More than this, his face has taken on a pained and harassed Jook, and he exhibits a nervous haste in bis movements which is almost pitifal, Along with the vast fortune he inherited all of Mrs. Morgan’s family couches, and, bel a conscicati man,he drives resolutely in them every afternoon, the picture of overawed and plaintive dis- content. His good fortunc has complete- ly unneryed him. At least this is the representation of a New York letter- writer. the —~— Proofs for Taney. Indianapolis News: Among * other traditions of the government printing office at Washington is a story told about a boy sent with some proof-slips of an important decision of Chict Justice Tancy. He appeared at the office of the chief justice and asked him: “Is Taney in¥" "I presume;” was the dignified ro: ply, “you wish to see the chief justice of the United Statesy'* *“I don’t care a cuss about him, I've got some proofs for Taney,” “Iam Hon. Roger B. Taney." “You're Taney, aren’t you?” "'I am not, follow; I am Hon. Roger B. Tuney.’ “Then the proots are not for you," and the unceremonious messenger would have gone off with them if the judge had not admitted himself to be Tunoy simply. s A Queer Complaint. John McCann, a citiken of Omaha, will be arrested ~ yesterduy on a queer complaint filed in police court. He has been in the habit of driving a wagon loaded with dirt without an end gate and has, to use o homely expression, been lit- tering up the streets.
