Tha republican congressional commit- tee profess themselves confident of car- rying the next house of representatives in the coming fall elections. There are 825 members in the present house. Of these 184 are democrats and 141 republi- cans. A gan of twenty-two members will give the republicans a majority. From a careful survey of the field, the committee are confident of gaining thirty-one seats, distributed as follows: Ohio 8 to 9, Illinois 8, Louisiana 2, In- diana 2, New York 8, lowa 2, Pennsyl- vania 2, West Virginia 1, Tennessee 1, Missigsippi 1, Texas 1, Missouri 2, Ken- tucky 1, Maryland 1, New Jersey 1, Mas- anchusetts 1, and Michigan 1. In Ohio the tide has been turning steadi- ly away from the democracy ever since Mr. Cleveland’s inauguration. The plug-uglies of the cities whose vote has been cast solidly for bourbon nominees widl find themselves seriously handicap- ped by the new election law. Six demo- crats, Foran, Geddes, Ellsburg, Ander- son, Campbell and Warner are admitted to have very doubtful chances. Disgust over patronage distribution has had an unfavorable effect upon the party ma- chine, while the republican organization is strong and united. In lilinois, accord- ing to the Chicago 7ribune, a re- publican gain of three may be safely counted upon. In In- diana two and perhaps three seats are conceded. Towa, under the new re- districting plan adopted by the last leg- islature, will certainly gain two out of the four seats occupied by democrats from that state. It is not safe to count upon any heavy gains from the south, but there are more than fighting chances in ten districts, while New York, Massa- chusetts and Michigan may be counted upon with reasonable certainty to make up the deficicncy. The senate stands forty-one republicans to thirty-five demo- crats. This will probably be its com- plexion after the senatorial elections of next winter. Mahone will be replaced by a democrat in Virginia and Hearst of California by a republican. Mr. Cleveland is brought face to face with the probability of having to deal with a congress which after next March will be republican in both branches. However disagreeable it may be to the executive, the change will be hailed with relief by the country outside of the bour- bon office seekers and their friends. The preseut house has shown its incom- petency to deul with every great question that the country cares for. It is divided on every great issue. Its greatest fear is of making a record on every subject about whose treatment its members are disagreed. It has been a-do-nothing house from the start. The appropriation bills are greatly delayed. The silver question has been shelved; the tariff’ bill still sknlks out of sight. The only activi- ty shown has been in taking up the pri- vate calendar and passing pension bills by the score to tickle local constituen- No republican congress has ever made puch a record of imbecility. The redemption of congress can only be ef- fected by the return of the republican party to the control ot the national legis- lawre. ving, Fill Up the Vacant Lots, The report that several wholesale houses who had decided to move bag and baggage into Omaha this spring have had to reconsider their intention because they were unable to find suitable buildings, makes a far from flattering commentary on local enterprise in this city. Every building for jobbing purposes now in course of construction is rented in ad- vance. ‘Thereis ot an eligible location for retail trade on our main streets which can be had for love or money. Within the past month heavy bonuses have been asked and given by merchants to secure quarters for their business by inducing other merchants to change their loca- tions. The demand for stores, ware- houses and five and six story buildings of forty-four feet frontage is steady and pressing, but unsatisfied. This is not as it should be. There are at least fifty va- cant lots on Douglas, Farnam and Har- ney streets, whose owners could make handsome interest on the investment by covering them with substantial five and six story structures. There are more than that npumber on which ram- shackle shells now stand which ought to be replaced* by solid brick and stone. The trouble with many of our property owners and capitalistsis that they are too greedy for their own interests. They prefer to let their property lie idle and to reap the beneht of the improvements made by others, They would rather loan out their thousands on 10 per cent short time mortgages than invest them in struc- tures which would return them a better interest and add something to the ap- pearance and growth of the city. Omaha suffers ;n consequence. The Shylocks and mossbacks are graduslls heing crowded out of the path of progress, but enough remain to seriously hinder the advance of the city. What we nced right now is a score or more of large;, eommodious and substan- tial blocks suitable for jobbing purposes. They would be rented before the roofs were on at figures which would pay a big advanoce over cost, taxes and repairs. In Contempt of Court. The decision of Judge Pardee, of the United States district court in Texas, in the case of the strikers on the Texas Pa- atfic railroad is not such as to increase the reputation of the American bench. The road 15 in the hands of a receiver, appointed by the court, and this fact was used to bring the strikers within the court’s jurisdiction for ‘‘contempt.” Judge Pardee ruled that “‘the employes of the receivers, where they combine and conspire to quit, with or without notice, with the object or intent of erippling the property or its operation, commit a con- tempt, and all those who combine or con- spire with employes thus to quit, or as oflicials of pretended labor organizations issue pretended orders to quitor to strike, with an intent to embarrass the court in administeringthe property, render them- selves liable for contempt of court.” This is a curious decision. It is based upon the old English law of *‘conspiracy in restraint of trade,” which was built np by judicial rulings, the whole of which parliament repealed in 1864 English law and English practice now agrée in considering everything as lawtul for an association which is lawful for an indi- vidual. The law takes no notice of “‘conspiracy” which does not seek its ends by unlawful means. Penusylvania and Michigan have changed their statute lbooks i accordance, but the obsolete Bnglish viows still linger in the log- islation of most of the older states. Judge Pardee’'s law evi- dently came from the repealed English case law. It was convenient authority for the purpose for which it was used. But 2s the United States has never en- acted any such vestraint upon individual action, and England has repealed it for twelve years it singular that Judge Pardee fell back upon such a poor prop for his unjust decision. *‘It islaw like this from American benches,” says the American, in commenting on the decision, “‘which has earned for the United States the contempt of English jurists as that of acountry apparently ineapable of legal progress. But such decisions havi much worse effect than to m laughing stock of the British bar. They sow the seed of clan bitterness. They help to carrythe idea to the working classes that eourts and law are on the side of the rich, and that the employe need expect no such consideration as is given to his employer, The receivers of the Texas Pacific may “‘conspire’ to dis- miss every man in the service of the road, with or without notice, and thus em- barrass each and all of them in the man- agoment of their finances. But if they conspire to dismiss the road they commit a misdemeanor. Whence comes this doctrine of ‘‘contempt of court,” which allows a judge to subject to an unlimited penalty, from which there 1s no appeal, any person who is guilty even of con- structive disobedience of the judge's orde Here is a point for congress to consider." The time cannot be far distant when workingmen of America will insist on a tax on immigration to restrain and regulate the supply of labor which is pouring into this country. To tax man- ufactured products in order to protect the markets is only a stimulus to over- stock the labor market as long as immi- gration is free. Protection on this basi is a boon to capital and a blow to the in- terests of labor e us a Revise the Lists. The resolution passed by the council at its last meet in regard to low assessments was timely, and calls the attention of the public officially to the disgraceful results of our present methods of assessment. 1t is too much to expect that the appeal of the eity council for more funds for tho ensuing year, and the assurance that if the assessment is not materially raised public improvements must remain at a standstill, will have much effect upon the assessors. The old method of copying each year theassessment rolls of the one preceding and adding a few dollars to the values where the advance has been too marked to escape comment, will doubtless be repeated. Last year Doug- las county was assessed at less than ten millions of dollars. This included all realty and personal property. More than fifteen years ago Omaha alone had an as- sessment roll of $13,000,000. Since that time the cicy had quadrupled 1n popula- tioh and wealth, Thecomparison spenks for itself. It is only fair to say that a large pro- portion of improved residence property in Omana is as d up to the full limit of one-third its estimated value, The houses and homes of men of moderate means are taxed on the average as much they shouid be. The men who escape taxa- tion are the heavy property owners who count their lots by the score and whose bank accounts run into the thousands. It is & well known fact that proerty is borne on the assessment rolls in this city at one-twentieth of the value av whick. it is now placed in the hands of real estate dealers for sale. Inthe First and Second wards hundreds of vacant lots are listed at less than a tenth of thewr market value. The same showing is made by the assessments in the bu portion of Omaha. It is safe to say t! the aggregate of the assessment of the area between Dodge and Howard streets and Eighth and Sixteenth is less than a sixth of the market value of the property listed. Business property in Omaha has doubled in price in the past iive years. Have the assessors doubled the rures which five years ago were far below the standard at which property should have been listed? Minneapolis with a population of 110,000 has an assessed valuation of $75,000,- 000. Omaha with a population of 75,000 has an assesement rollof ubout $8,000,- 000. We have doubled our population in five years. The demands upon the city treasury increase year by year and the ery of ‘no funds” is heard long before the approach of the spring. Needed improyements are at a standstill. Labor remains unemployed while the city is anxious that work should be done. Our tax rate is necessarily high, and to par- ties who are ignorant of the basis of the assessment, seems exorbitant. Poor men are paying heavy taxes while the wealthy asoung, These srp o few f ths Giyin, evils” wihich rosult from the erimina negligence of the assessor. The lists must be revised.

Although he really knows nothing about wedding outlits, he could rely upon the judgment of his lady friends in Washington, whom he could call to his assitance to inspect and pass upon the merits of the samples presented to him, ] Tue Herald goes out of its way to per- petrate a little stab at a former d Trinity cathedral, It says: cathedral, through its organized leaders, recently made known to a somewhat sur- prised parish that, under the powerful and prosperous ministrations of its late dean, it owed a debt of $3,950 that oughe to be immediately liquidated " ‘The powerfal and prosperous ministrations of Rev.
