Scction 3 of article 2 of the constitution provides that in case of dis- agreement between the two houses of congress with respect to the time of ad- journment, the president may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper. Unless the two houses shall soon come to an agreement in this matter, Mi Cleveland mey find 1t necessary to make a departure as the first excculive to ad- Journ the congress. It will be reassuring to the Amer colony of defaulters and rogues sojourn- «ing in Canada to learn that the new con- wvention between the United States and » Great Britain, extending the extradition treaty to embrace the class of crimes of which they are guilty, is not retroactive It is understood that the colonists were a good deal disturbed by the promise of an enlarged treaty, which would affect their eases, bul they may continue to enjoy themselves without'the slightest appre- hension of danger, an Tue status of the Payne bribery case s this: One member of the Ohio legisla- ~ ture is shown to have been offered a large amount of money for his vote; two other members roceived large sums abeut the . time of the election of which they gave mo satisfactory account; but there is no evidence to show bribery unless in these eases, and none to connect Payne per- sonully with these transactions, or to show the resuit was changed or affected By these means. Mr. Payne will, of gourse, rotain his seat, but nevertheless he has lost in public confidence to an ex- tent which will very greatly impair s msefulness, and there is an indellible blot | mpon his once unstained yecord. + Lt deserve dit be given to Sena- tor Ingalls.

Berenen's fivst lecture in London, Puesday evoning, was not largely at- tended. This is mewasurably accounted ~ for by the high price of admission, which ‘excluded the people.

The reason given is that the Burlington is opposed to the enterprise becanse it eannot conveniently shorten \ Chicago and Ogden, and sfore cannot meet the Union Paciic in a speed competition. The other roads, especially the Chieago & Northwestern, were willing to shorten the line between Chicago and the Missouri river, but the recent restoration of rates and harmony was used as a club by the Burlington to make them recede from the promises they made to the Union Pacific. The re- resolution to the effect that owing to the present prevailing harmony 1< inopportunc at this time to revise » schedulgs to correspond with the pro- posed revision of the Union Pacific. The Burlington has simply played the part of a bull-dozer. 1ts course w )8 eX- cusable on the ground it was simply act- ing for self-interest. But the other Is can offer no excuse for their cowardly re: treat, the dictation of the Burlington, They have certainly displayed a lament- able lack of backbone. The fact that their attitude 15 nothing more nor less than discrimination against Omaha and the to themselves and but the Union Pacific. Trains are now run be- tween Chieago and St. Paul, a distance vast territory t of 410 miles, twelve hours, while twenty-one hours are consumed in run- ning trains betweenjChicago and Omaha, a distance only seventy miles longer. The Union Pacific had to do something to meet this discrimination m favor of the Northern Pacific transcontinental route, and hence it determined to rve- duce the time on its own line with a lim- ited express. Thisw nee 1S MOost of the transcontinental travel comes through Chicago. There scemed to be no good reason wk the Towa roads should not run trains as fast be tween Chicago and the Missouri river as trains are run between t point and St. Paul, or as fast as the Union Denver train is run, which is at the v of thirty-one miles an hour. The Bur- lington, however, seems to be master of the situation at present. It remains to be seen whether the Union Pacific will allow itto continue to hold it any great length of time. The probability is t the Union Pacific will go ahead with its Jimited expre leaying the other roads 10 wait three hours for it or to start on time without the passengers. In this way the Union Pacific can probably vreak the agreement of the Iowa roads and compel them to shorten their time between the river and Chicago. The people of the west are entitled to faster trains, and it 18 to be hoped that the ob- ele placed on the track by the Bur- lington will be removed at once. The Street Car Line. Councilman Caspar has introduced two resolutions in the council to regulate the running of street cars in Omaha. The first, which was adopted by the ecouncil, s the car company to run its cars nccording to ordinance. The seednd ordering conductors to be placed on all the cars within two weeks from date was referred to the committee on viaducts and railways. Both resolutions are directed at evils which ought to be remedied 1n the interests of the public. The schedule time of Omaha horse car lines no pretensions to complyi the ordinance directing ace ber of trips to be made at special times during the day. The company has arranged matters to suit its own convenience and not that of the public. The ordinance itself is lax enough, but it is stretched so that ofien twenty minutes pass in the day when no car runs over the line in the most crowded ts of the city. The time has come when the bobtail car on main lines of travel in Omaha should be abolished. It is a serions que: tion which has never yet been passed upon in Omaha upon its merits whether a street car company can legally compel a passenger at his inco venience, and that of the public to ac! employe fora corporation. The protection of passengers us well as the safety of the drivers demands that each car shall be provided with an employe to start and stop it, eject objectionable characters and colleet the f: As matters now are the crowding and jostling on the cars are made still worse by the attempts of passengers to force their way to the cash box, while if tls s practieally impossible, the whole car is annoyed and disturbed bythe yells of the driver to parties on the back plat- form to “'put in their fares.”” The “bob tail” car is an expedient to save the sal- ary of conductors. On lines where travel is light and distances short, they fill their place without detriment to pub- lie safety or convenience, Buetoncrowd- ed streets and main arteries of travel they are an insufferable nuisance. 1t mav be candidly said for the street car company in Omaha that in several respects their system is conducted above reasonable ground for c S, ‘I'heir cars are made by the best make; They are kept clean, which is something unusual, Their live stock is strong and superior to that on most lines. The road bed and tracks ave of the best. All these facts the public admit. ButOmaha has grown too fast for the *'bob tail” ear system. Publie convenience and public safoty demand a change, The interests of the company as well as those of the patrons would be subserved by it, ——— Black Hills Tin, The first shipment of tin ore from Da- kota reached New York on Friday last. It was the first tin ore ever taken out in the western hemisphere and came from Hurney's Peak in the vicmity of Rapid City, The discovery of the mineral was made several years ago in the Black Hills, It reached the ears of New York capitalists, among whom were Mr, H. K. Thurber, who proceeded at once to make a quiet investigation of the value of the find. An English expert from the great mines of Cornwall was employed to survey the ground and assay the ore. On the strength of his report Mr. Thurber and his associates began secret purchases of elaims unti their acquisitions covered an avea of 7,000 square miles. Several mullions of dollars were promptly subscribed for de- veloping the tin mines, and work has now reached a point where steady ship: ments of ore sre éxpected. In the amount of its capital and the extont of its ] property the company is said to ba the greatest mining corporation in existence. For centuries before the Christian e Cornwall, in England, supplied the world with tin, It has continued to do so for the centuries since. Last year the United States imported §50,000,000 worth of this useful metal. 1f the predictions of those interested come true, the day is at hand when Dakota will not only furnish this country with its tin for local con sumption, but will enter the lists in com petition with England to supply other countries as well. The ore of the Black Hills is reported to be richer than that of Cornwall and as readily reducible. As a bonanza the tin mines of Harney's Peak promise to sink the Homestake company into insignificance. Sustain the Chick: Omaha has a paid fire department which costs over $20,000a year. The volunteer firemen have disbanded long ago and every man now on the force is employed for pay. For the efliciency of this force the chief is responsible. Whi under the regulations, he ean only pend o fiveman and recommend his di charge for cause it is manifestly the duty of the council to uphoid him in every instance where good cause is shown. Any other course will destroy the discipiine among firemen and is likely to result in great disaster. If uny subordinate can defy the chiof when off auty, he is just as liable to dis- obey orders or play some pranks when the fire is raging in order to make the chief unpopular or get him dismissed for failu Chief Butler has resigned lis position beeause he declines to assume the re- sponsibility of running the department with a driver who has been repeatedly intoxicated on duty. Having found Driver O'Brien unfit to take his truck to a fire, he promptly suspended him and recommended his discharge. Now no matter how much credit he is entitled to for past services, the question is, shall the lives and property of the citizens of ™ Omaha be exposed to risk and the de- partment Whose is demoralized fault is it for any man? that this man itunily drunk? Would he ain his place a day as a ralroad cn- gineer or brakeman after he was 1 ported to the superintendent? It the vity owes this man a pension for past se i ¢ all means let him be pensioned. That would be a tritle compared to the disaster that is sure to befall this cit sooner or later, if the fire department allowed torun itself and every fireman can blackguard the chief or refuse to obey his orders. If Mr. Butler doesn't fill the bill or a better man can be found, the council should have relieved him long ago. But while he remains chief he should be sustamed. The first thing the council should do o dismiss every fire- man who gets drunk off or on duty. Thereis no time of the day or night when afireman can safely be under the influ- ence of liquor. The man who can’t con- trol himself has no business on the paid fire force. Tiry-four democrats voted with Sam Randall to refuse consideration to Mor- rison’s tariff reduction bill. This repre- sonts the proportion of his party through- out the country who are willing to up- hold bogus tax reduction in the inter of Pennsylvania monopoli: Mr. Mo rison’s bill, while defective in details, proposed reductions that would cheapen the cost of hving. Mr. Randall’s bill proposed to reduce revenue by incre: ing the duty on y so that importation should be stopped ~and the articles produced at a gre cost in this country, thus increasing the cost of living. This was the sharp difference between he two bills. Morrison’s biil was simple and easily understood. It reduced the duty on cheap cottons, sugar, woolens and a few other articles of necessity in every workingman's household and put salt, wool, lumber, fish, jute and hemp on the free list. Mr. -Randall’s bill, on the other hand, was complex and delu- sive. It raised the duties on tin y cotton ties and other n ary articl on which t » should be no du depended for revenue reduction upon the rey of the tobacco tax and the partial repeal of the spirits tax. In other words, Mr. Morrison’s bill was an at- tempt to keep faith with the pledges of both partics for tax reduction. Ran- dall’s bill simply juggled with the people by making the reduction in internal rev- enue the pretext for increasing the bur- den upon necessaries. d ry liberal construction of what constitutes bribery in elections pro- pounded by the privileges and elections committee of the United States senate, and the large opportunities it gives for escaping amenability for this crime, is the very converse of the principle and practice under the English law regarding bribery. In England the disbursement of money for the purposes of an election, or in the interest of a candidate, over and above a fixed sum required by necessary campaign expenses, for which an account must be publicly rendered, is prohibited by law, and the beneficiary of it is un- seated upon the evidence of payment or disbursoment, Under this law the indi- vidual who profits by the corrupt use of money in an election cannot escape re- sponsibility by pleading that he did not personally engage in the work of coreap- tion nor sanction it. There is no waste of time in hunting out; the briber or the bribes, nor in vainly seehing proof impossible to be obtained. The ex- penditure in excess of the sum allowed by law is the only evidence necessary to vitiate the election, and the penalty fails ! scallion republicans who where it justly belongs—on the person who profits by the election, Possibly the English system may not be practicable in the United States, but we ought to be able to get a grood deal nearer to it than does the principle enunciated by the senate privileges and elections commit- £ it shull become & precedent, bribery both easy and com- paratively safe. THE rag-tag aud bob-tail of the rail- road brigade who are talking up pledges against General Van Wyck are playing with double-edged swords. Such instru- ments of warfare cut both ways. They are as apt to hurt the men who wield thew as to harm the parties at whom the blows are directed, Candidates for state oflices will consult their own interests by fighting shy of this vledge business. It will not pay. The couvention is still a long distance off and the voters of Ne- braska have been given an abundance of time to discuss methods as well as men Republican Nebraskg is for General Van Wyck's return to the senate. Some rap » misrepre sented the party and patty sentiment for years are of course opposed to the sen ator. When the line is formed they will be found in the rear of the procession If they want to hasten the result and make it certain they have taken the rignt course, The people will look after the rost. ACCORDING to the Herand s competent marshal would employ detectives, make himself familiae with the erimes and records of eriminals, and keep the com munity rid of the lawless classes. Such aman in Omaha would have tobea wealthy philanthropist. To employ de tectives costs money, To learn the crimes and records of criminals requires ample funds, and to keep th rid ot lawless elasses demand police force. As the city has an in- suflicient revenue for such purposes, we presume the idea of the Herald is that the marshal should foot all these bills from own pocket, and thus prove himself “‘competent.” These wholesale assaults upon the marshal beeause Omaha tax-dodgers prevent him from having a force large enough to patrol a good-sized village, idiculous. Omaha wants a greatly onlarged police forco more than she needs a new marshal, Tne next annual conference of Chari- ties and Correction will be held in Omaha.
