The house of representatives last weck passed several bills in the interest of the of the country. The vots these measures, as well as the anx shown by both sides of the house to m them as strong and effective as possible, relieve them of all suspicion of being, in any degree, party ang divide the credit of their adoption equally be tween the two parti Oneof these bills is to prevent the employment of convict alien lavor upon public buildings and other public works, and was intro duced early in the session. The expedi ency of prohibiting the employment of convict labor on public works will not e questioned, we s by anybody. To | some, however, there may scem an ap parent hard<hip and wjustice in exclud ing aliens from such wor It must be understood that the law will apply only tothose who have not declared their in tentions to become citizens, and in view of the very simple and xpensive method by which a foreigner may relieve himself of the disability consequent upon his being an alien, any thought of injus tice in connection with the measure must disappear. Theexpectation is that every upon ty measure and suppose man who comes here from abroad to establish a home does so with the intention of becoming a citizen, to which he is inyited by every considera tion of personal interest, and those who vefuse to avail themselves of the privilege cannot justly complain ths they arc in anywise wronged if not per mitted to secure every advantage that 'I‘HE OMAHA DAILY BDD. lhu ]nh so rented or leased are excmpted under the railroad interpretation of the statute from taxation.

Another bill passed by the house wis to amend the act prohibiting the im- portation of alicns under contract or | agrecment to perform labor in the United States, This act, passed by the last con 88, I|<\4| been found defeetive in some remedial .uul to render the law stronger and more effective. The principle of the law has, we believe, stood the test of the courts, We are uncompromisingly oppose a policy which has recently been i wroclaimed by , a4, few reputa- ble but prejudiced and ill-ad- vised newspapers, that the government should adopt measures for the restriction of immigration, one journal going to the extreme of advoeating as a means of ac- complishing this the imposition of a head tax. The timeis yet remote, if it shall ever come, when the United States will find it expedient or desirable to ercct barriers of any sort against the immige tion of the honest, industrious and lax respecting people of other inds, who come here to make homes for themselves. There ave still millions of acres and vast resources to be developed which invite the energy, the brawn, and the thrift of | other lands, and may do so for gene tions to come. But we are in full accord with every proper and just means for the vrotection of the labor of the United States against the invasion of the pauper labor of any land, brought here under contracts which sabject it to practi slavery, and which damage and debase all Inbor. The measures to which we herein refer ave of the character which must meet the approval of every fair- minded citizen. It may be opportune in this connection, also, to direct the attention of working- men to the fact which this action demon- strates, namely, that the political parties are not urmindful or indifferent to their interests, and that their influence upon these parties 18 quite as likely—possibly more likely—to be exerted to their advan- e under present conditions than if y were to assume an attitude of inde- pendent political action. The labor of the country is commanding a degree of ognition by legislators never before accorded it, and if it is not misled into s by designing demagogues the wtion of its just demands is assured. A Southern Failing. It is rvemarked as a noteworthy fact that in the national conference of chari- ties and corrections in session at St. Paul most of the southern states have no rep- ion, and that there is but one is ent from any state south ex- cept North Carolina. The lack of intel est south in the questions considered by the conference is notably strange, be- cause of the generally loose id and practice which appear to prevail in that section respecting charities and prison management, and which it might be sup- posed wounld enlist the attention and 1n- terest of the pbilanthropic and christian elements of thatsection. If not misiep- resented the prison management in a number of the southern states is badly in need of reformation. Storics of cruclty and barbarity, even from states where he sdvanced sentiment of the time rve- gpecting the management of penal in stitutions would be thought to have pene- trated, are not uncommon, and indeed nowhere in the gouth is the treatment of convicts in naccordance with modern views. The barbavous treatment of the cony in the mines of Dade county, Georgia, owned by United States sen: Brown, is the most recent instance trative of the general lack of all feeling of concern for the welfure of the unfor- tunates whom southern sentiment seems to regard as having shut themselves out from all claim to be treated as human beings. Uvidently there is nced of earnest missionary service 1 behali of prison reform in the south, and it may be hoped that a serious movement in this direction will be started by the Na- tional Prison association soon to meet ab Atlanta, ey Taxing Right of Way. Under the revenue law of Nebraska the right of way of 1ailrcads operated in this state is exempt from local assessment. The power to assess this class of roal es- tate, including trackage depot, depot grounds and buildings used by railroads for railway operation purposes, is vesied in the state board of equalization. Other buildings and all real and personal prop- erty “outside of said right of way" the law expressly declaves shall be listed by the precinet assessors. But the provis- icns of tha law have been taken advant- age of by the railroads to eover tax shirk- ing of gigantie dimensions. Under the exemption of “‘rizut of way” the roads insist upon including all buildings and improve-uents used for anv purpose whatever adjacent to their tracks. Land 18 leased to elevators, factories and ware- houses aud used for objects quite apart from legitimate railroad purposes, and a partof the right of way.” ‘T'his is a common sense interpretation of the law. “Right of way can only be understood as the land used as way for the road.” Every foot of ground used for other purposes is clearly taxable. The law exempting the land used for puroses of trackage and buildings needed in the operation of the road not be distorted to cover enterpri private speculation and leases for reve. nue in no way connected with the legiti- mate conduct of raitroading. Our Washington cor ondent s doubtless correet by his view it iy Laird-Cobb episode has been oveworked by the correspondents and given a pub- lic importance that it did not deserve.

Asrecently as Monday there was an angry exchange of personalities on the floor of the senate between Miller, of New York, and Ingalls, of Kansas, the former concluding his remarks by saying that no man would dare to address to him outside of the senate chamber. such words the Kansas senator had used—a declaration that might easily be construed as a challenge. Beeause the Laird-Cobb difliculty did not occur on the floor of the house, instead of within a dozen feet of the chamber, that body does not feel called upon to take any notice of it, and the Nebraska bully will escape all responsibility for his blackguardly abuse and his ruflianly assault. of to-day is perhaps no worsi spect than were the congre past, but if this be so it furnishes no pal- Liution. The people look for improve- ment in the character and conduct of the men who should be the exemplars of dig- nity, courtesy and good breeding. new extradition espondent makes i Toe report that a treaty between the United States and Great Britain has been signed still lacks oflicial confirmation. Unoflicial advices, however, from both Washington and London announce that such a treaty has been arranged, thowgh it may not go to the senate at the present session. The present treaty stipulations between the two countries anthorize extradition only in cases of murder and forgery. It isun- derstood that the new treaty enlarges the iist of extraditable crimes, so that defauit- ers, embezzlers and dynamiters will be included among the criminals that may be delivered over to the authorities of the country whose laws they shall vio- late. It is remarkable that such an ar- rangement was not made long ago, in view of the asylum offered by Canada to criminals from the Un'ted States, but it would appear that it had to wamt until England felt the necessity of such a treaty as a means of protection s the dreaded dynamiter. The would be in the interest of justice both countries would derive advantage from it, OxE of our paralyzed contemporaries intimates that it does not circulate among the “slums.” The trouble with that con- cern is that it does not eirculate any- where. The BEr's circulation is among overy class and eondition. It drops on the porches of the rich and in the door yards of the poor. Itisread in the tene- ment and shop, in the houses of the millionaires and the homes of the mer- chants. Its carriers distribute it along every street in Omaha at a rate of nearly two to every paper oirculated by all our eontomporaries combined.
