A heavy fine is the pen- alty which will be enforced for infrac- tions of the Ir has long been a conviction of all fair-minded people that General Black, commissioner of pensions, is a dema- gogue pure and simple, and his most re- cent appearances before the senate in- vestigating committee have served to counfirm this conviction and add to the number of those entertaining it. From the day of his induction into office Black has lost no opportunity to manifest his strong partisan foeling, and he has been more conspicuously oftensive in this re- apect than perhaps any other man in the government servicg,although the bureaun of which he is the head ought to be the least subject to the influences of parti- sanship. It will be very much like | stultification on the part of the president if he permits Black to remain in oflice aftor the exposure of Lis condmuet and eharacter thut has been made by the senate investigation. PRrESIDENT CLEVELAND has again found it necessary to appeal to the public not to make demands upon his time, merely of & social or personal nature, on other days than those which he has designated for tho reception of visitors who desire to pay their respects. Some time ago he set apart Monday for the transaction ex: elusively of public business requiring _ freedom from interruption, but this is one of the arrangements which the per- sistent public would not permit lim to ~ earry out, and he will nereafter receive ~ social callers on the afternoons of Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday. This is soarcely so liberal an arrangement for the public as that first made by the presi dent, yet it onght to afford ample time to the curious to gratify their desire to call . mpon Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland and indulge in the conversational commonplaces and * Inmpidities common to such occaslons. . The presidential officc would be a far more comfortable situation if it could be - vaheved of about tour-fifths of its social duties, which are likely to become more exaoting and onerous as the country grows. OnE of the extravagances of the gov- ernment is the mileage systom, to which . some attention has been given by con- in the appropriation bills of the L present session, It is notoworthy, how- ~ever, that care has been taken that econ- K in this matter shall not be allowed to ‘touch members of congress, who are * most largely tho gainers by the system. L within a few years army and nayy ors traveling on orders wcre allowed nts a mile. 'This was reduced to 8 and it is now proposed to make a reduction to 4 conts, with the . oost of trausportation aetually vaid in “sddition, but in no case shall the amount ‘exceud 8 conts & milo. Congrossmen, - however, aro paid 29 cents 8 mile, and ‘although this amount was fixed in the | days of stage coaches and canal boats, no mpt has been made, so far as we are re, to change it. It s a littlo kable that such sticklers cconomy as Mr. Holman colleagues of the appro- il committee, when determining is iciont for the traveling ex- ps of py and navy oflicors when or ordersgbould have failed to dis pover that it 0 wore Lo transport mgressmen, and tho faot that they did 4080 1s not reassnring of their fairness aad consistuncy. Jt is proposed to ap- propriate for the nocessary traveling ox- of the entire army the sum of 500, while the annual mileage charge ators and reprasentatives amounts e of §143,000. Secret Executive Sesstons, It is said that another effort is to be made in the United States senate to have secret executive sessions done away with, and the business to which these sessions are deyoted—chiefly the consideration of presidential appointments—transacted in open session. This matter was quite fully discussed by the senate some months ago, and the weight of argument was most decidedly with the advocates of open sessions. The question ought uot be re- garded as in any sense a party ono, and yet it is found that the strength of the opposition to secret sessions comes from the republicans, the majority of the dem- ocrats supporting the system in vogue. Under existing circumstances the reasons for this are obyious. The objections to the system are that it is essentially undemocratic and that it invites and gives opportunity for grave wrongs and injustice to individuals for which they have no redress. It is a system of the star chamber kind totally’ at variance with the American principle that all matters which can be debated and acted upon by the representatives of the people openly, without detriment to the public interests, should be discussed and disposed of in full view, so that the whole people may have knowledge of every detail of them, and surely there is nothing, or ought to be nothing, in the matter of acting upon the appointments of the president, which can justify the system of proceeding in sccret. When the president sends appointments to the senate they are referred—save in excep- tional cases—to committees whose duty it is to make careful and thorough inqui into the gharacter and qualifications ot the appointees. The report of a eommit- tee usnally determines the fate of a can- didate, but it not infrequently happens that an appointee who has received the endorsement of the committee to whom his name was referred will be defeated for confirmation because some senator personally dislikes him or takes this means of punishing him for some sin of omission or commission with respect to such senator. The character of the candidate may be traduced and his reputation damaged by false or exagger- ated charges, which must remain unre- futed, perhaps to his permanent injury, because the lips of every senator is closed by a pledge of secresy that does not per- mit the injured man to know to what charges his defeat was due or who is responsible for them. Behind the barred doors of the senate prejudice or malice may have full way, and every senator be made a party to a gro: to gratify the vindic their number who ha: ance against a candidate for a public oftice, but who would not dare to seek satisfaction inthis way were it not for the protection and 1mmunity which this system of secresy affords him. A practice that in- vites and makes possible such wrong and injustice—and there 18 on record the authoritative statement of senators that such is its effect—is wholly repugnant to republican policy and principles, and to that sense of fair vlay which Americans vossess as largely as any other peoplo. The United States senate hasnot grown in povular regard during the past few years. Since the great statesmen whose presence there made it the foremost legislative body in the world have de- parted, and their places are occupied by the attorneys of soulless corporations and by self-seeking demagogues, the senate has with the decline of character lost largely in popular respeet. It will certainly not better its claim to the re- gard and confidence of the people by ad- hering to a system, which, whatever justification there may have been for it in the past, is no longer useful or tolerable. Postponing the Issue. The refusal of congress by & vote of 157 to 140 to consider the question of tanff reduction is a fitting ending of the work of a session which for incapacity for business, disregard of party pledges and general imbecility on the side of the directing majority, has never been sur- passed, if equalled, in the history of the lower house. The question of tax reduction - was one of the vital issues in the campaign which resulted in Mr. Cleveland’s election. Both parties recognized the popular demands for reform of the tariff and pledged themselves, through their repre- sentatives, to meet it when the new con- gress convened. Upon this point, the necessity of lifting a large portion of the burdensome and needless duties, there was no difference of opinion. The pres- ence of an enormous surplus in the na- ticnal treasury, and the too rapid reduc- tionof the interest-bearing debt, were ar- guments for tax reduction which could not be gainsaid by the most rabid advo- cates of high tariff as a protection to American industry. Quite apart from this was the question whether the undue stimulus of the existing tariff was not seriously demoral- zing many lines of industriul effort by fostering great monopolies 1n some branches and overstocking the home mar- kets in others. All partics agreed that the issuc of tax reduction was not the is- sue of free trade, but purely thé question whother the country should continue to its people needlessly and exorbitantly when overy necessity for the imposition of such monstrous burdens had passed away. As usual, individual interests and the influence of wealth has worked upon congi nal cowardice to a, postpone the issue. With a gurplus of wore than eighty-tive millions above the revenue requirements of the present year congress will once more adjourn leaving the burdensome tariff tax hey fownd them at the opening of the session. The pledges made by the parties to the people have proyed small obstacles in the path of the pledges mado by vongressmen to individual protested intorests. The issue of tax redvciion may be de- layed for the time but it cannot be indefimitely postponed. Tlhe producers of the country, who are toiling through- out the west on unproteeted farins to up- hold the great monopolies built up by a vicions system of extortionate taviff ta: tion, will not patiently endure much lon ger the refusal of both purties a3 at pres cut constituwed to deal with thewr com- plaints. ‘The men who have made their wishes powerful in revolutionizing the sentiment of congress va the question of railrond wonopolics will be no less sue- cessful 10 effecting their object in securing reliet from the Dur- dens of the war tuxes which their representatives vefuse to lift from the overloaded shoulders of the people, Privale intercsts may suceeed for the mo- : THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1880, ‘ment, but their suecess only adds fuel to the flame which in the end threatens to swoep away a much larger portion of the tariff system than the opvonents of the needless tarift taxes now demand shall be removed from the national statute books. They Must Come to Time, The Pullman Palace Car company, through its superintendent, has given notice to the county commissioners that it will pay no taxes in Nebraska on the rolling stock and property employed in the transaction of business in this state. ‘T'his is a defiance of authority which the people of Nebraska will not only resent, but will take prompt steps to remedy. It is a baretaced attempt of one of the most extortionate monopolies to evade its due share of the burdens of carrying on government. The plea that the company is engaged in interstate commerce, and therefore not subject to taxation, is mere evasion. ‘The company has its headquarters here, its cars run into the yards on the Nebraska side, are repaired in our machine shops and are actually located bere. Employes are hired and discharged at Omaha, and all its trans-Missouri business this side of Ogden is transacted at this point. For the Nebraska lines comprising the Union Pacific, M uri Pacitic and the Burlington, a system within the state limits of over a thousand miles, this company has heretofore returned prop- erty ed at $60,000. It is safe (o say that the cars operated in Nebraska are worth half a million. In Denver they have this spring been assessed at $240,000, although the Colorado lines are by no means as extensive as those operated from Omaha. The commissioners of Douglas county should do their duty and compel this company to pay its s. It enjoys all the protection afforded to other local companies, In case of fire or riot it promptly calls for the advantnges of government paid for by other taxpayers. Our water, five and police service are at their disposal, our courts at their service and they are freely used when occasion requires. They must be made to share in the expense of protecting property and carrying on the government, in whose advantages they are equal sharers with all other property owners. With due res- pect for Judge Blatehford. upon whose decision that the Pullman company is operating an interstate commerce line of transportation, this corpor- ation Dbasis its resistance to tax- ation, we regard the position taken as entirely untenable. Judge Blatchford is not the first judge whose bias in favor ot corporate monopolies has warped his judgment. The idea is preposterous, If the Pullman companyis excmpt from taxution 1n Nebraska on its cars, so is the Union Pacific and Burlington. The latter company !s operated largely from Chicago, and the Union Pacific runs trains from Council Bluffs. If the Pull- man company does not intend to pay t: in Nebraska where does it propose to pay taxes? The Nebraska division ma returns in Towa as far as we can learn, and the cars runin the trans-Missouri country are not taxed in Illinoi bold attempt to evade all taxation which will not be permitted to succeed. We serve divine notice on the Puliman company that Nebraska is able to cope with it in a contest of thiskind. The leg- islature will meet next winter, and we shall see whether tLey will exempt palace cars from taxation or bring the managers under their control by proper regulation, which may include not only taxes but fares. THERE isan impressive lesson in the fact that during the past two months there was a very remarkable increase in the number of chattel mortgages re- corded in Chicago, mstruments of this class having doubled in number in the six weeks following the inception of the labor troubles. An investigation of these mortgages showed them to be largely given on furniture, with an occasional piano included, few of them represent- ing an amount in excess of $100. It is not diflicult to find the instructive fea- tures of this fact. It means that the ac- cumulation of years of labor by hun- dredsof workingmen in Chicago are pay- ing ruinous tribute to the usurious money lenders; itmeans thatin the homes of hun- dreds of the toilers of Chicago the sense of peace and indevendence which pre- vailed afew weeks ago has beon sup- planted by an ever-haunting fecling of fear and harrassing responsibility; it means bitter humiliation in the sense of servitude to greedy and relentless usu- rers; 1t means depriving wives and children of httle pleasures and priv ileges hitnerto enjoyed, and the surren- der ot comforts which to plain people are luxuries, 1n order that the money lenders shall not fail of their harvest; it means to many yeuars more of toil, with the practice of a rigid economy, in order that they may be again able to say that what they possess is their own, and to many it means the loss of all at last, however hard and patient and self-sacri- ficing the struggle to save it. Unhap- pily the experience of the workingmen of Chicago, who have been forced by the labor troubles to place their small pos- sessions at the mercy of heartless usurers, is not singular; it can be supplemented by the records of all the larger cities, and the consequences in privation, sorrow, injustice ‘and hardship would appal the strongest, could they be presented in mass.

They object to ssment in Iowa because their conches start from Dlinois, In Illinol the plea is raised that their property is about all in other states, ELEVEN per cent the assessment inerease reported this year from the Phird ward, If the Third wishes to show up its actual magnificent ady: i value, it must get an assessor who knows more about appraising property than he about working a handsaw for one of the heaviest tax shirkers in the precinet. shortest speech of the congres- session was made last week by nator Edmunds. He said: “That is a good bill.” A few more efforts of this kind to the exclusion of the cut and dried orations which nobody listens to and few read would be a blessing to the interests of legiclative business. ‘Tie Kniglts of Labor to the knights of leisure; ‘' Pay your taxes.' Monumenting the City. The action taken by the city council at its last session lookinjt towards an official survey of the city and al proper determi- nation of lot lines, strfet corners and intersections was wise and timely. The subject is one that has been often dis- cussed and strongly urged. Its impor- tance, in view of the growth of Omana had became so manifest, that at the last session of the legislature the charter was amended to permit a re.survey and final location of corners and lines in all cities of the fi All cities have passed through a similar experience, but, as nated by the city en- gineer, Umaha scems to stand alone in having no ofhicial record of the original town site plat, from which to work as a basis. Several maps have been pub- lished by private individuals, but they all contain glaring errors and no one agrees withanother, As a consequence there is a variance in the length of our city blocks of from two to six fect, while the streets themselves show a difference idth in about the same provortions. Section corners used as the basis of sur- veys have disappeared, stakes and monu- ments placed years fixed points, from which surveys were made, have gone, and as a result there is asteadily in- ng difficulty in discribing property and a corresponding increase 1n dis- putes over lot lines between property owners. The charter provision for monument- ing the city contemplates a commission of cvil engincers of which the city engi- neer shall be a member whose duty it shall be not to change existing and ac- cepted lines, but to note and ion, make and complete surve) eyery block in the city and forever deter- mine them by locating stone monuments at every intersecting street from which the distances can be ever afterwards measured. Thissurvey when made will be the oflicinl plat of the city recorded in the county clerk’s oflice and the basis for all subscquent maps. It will afford property owners and the city a perpetual safo- guard against error or fraud and if done promptly will save an fmmense amount of trouble and expense, appeals to the courts and damage to property interests.

THEY RESENT THE INSULT. Resolutions of the Platt publican Club, outh Re- The following resolutions were unani- mously adopted by the Young Men’s Re- publican elub of Plattsmouth on Wednes- day evening: Whereas, Charles H. Gere, editor of the State Journal, a republican newspaper published at Lincoln, Nebraska, and an individual named Fred Nye, supposed to be the editor of th epublican, a republican new: published at Omaha, Nebraska, have scen it, through the editorial columns of said newspapers to publicly assail this young men’s repub- lican organization in manner and form as follows: THE PLATTSMOUTH BANQUET. The Lincoln Journal also intimates that the Plattsmouth republican club exhibited its pe- rities. The Journal says ¢ Young Men’s Republican club, of Plattsmouth, celebrated its anniversary with abanquet on Lhursday evening. It had in- vited all sorts of republicans to address it, in- cluding the principal stumper against the re- publiean_ticket the last state campaign, Senator Van Wyck. The result was a pau- city of guests from abroad. Straight republi- eans are not fond of being mixed up in_polit- ical banquets with kickers and constitutional Messrs. Thurston and Rosewater, of Omaha, were there, however, and divided the honors of the evening. The Journal neglects to state, except by implication, the fact that since the oceurrence of late events in railroad polities Mr. Thurs- ton and Mr. Rosewater are as thick as flies in an Omaha reetaurant. All the princivals at the Plattsmouth banquet were railroad cap- pers. Now, railroad capping may be repub- licanism, but we don’t believe it. The editor of the Journal and the editor of the Republican were invited to the ban- quet. We violate no confidence in say- ing that they preferred not to accept the invitation because of a hesitation to trust their republicanism in an atmosphere redo- lent of railroad corruption. Mr. Gere and his friend of this paper are with the people and republican party; they are down ou the railroads, pusses or no passes; they are not candidates for office and therefore do not seok railroad support. They do not believe that politicians such as Van Wyck and Rose- water, who desert the people at a critical juncture and combine with the railroads, are worthy to be called republicans.—Omaha Republican.

Further, that in the opinion of the members # this club the intemperate, unprovoked and vulgar attuck made upon the members of this club and their invited guests in the article from the Omaha Republican are unworthy a great newspaper of its pretensions, and could only emanate from a trifling and irre- sponsible source, especially in view of the fact that the author thereof had for- warded this club a florid letter of con- gratulations, regretting hisinability to pe present with us upon the occasion of our annual banquet, Resolved, further, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded the State Jour- nal, Omaha Republican and Omaha Beg. -~ STATE AND TERRITORY.
