THE cruelties practiced by southern contractors of convict labor has been punished very inadequately. The two principal offending parties were fined $2,500. This is nothing but a travesty of justice. TuE weather clerk seems to. have more consideration for the condition of our thoroughfares than the authorities. Had bad weather set in early our streets would have been almost impassable. It is seldom this city has had such oppor- tunities for preparing for winter. It is said that almost the entire popu- lation of Iceland is perishing from fam- ine. The opulent countries of the world should not stand by and see the people of that little sterile island starve. They should be helped to emigrate to a more hospitable clime. GOVERNOR FORAKER has said, in the most explicit language, that he is in fu- vor of Senator Sherman as the republi- can candidate for the presidency. Mr. Sherman took occasion in the last speech he made in the Ohio campaign to state that the relations between himself and the governor were of the most friendly nature. These two facts ought to put a stop to the reports that Foraker is for some other man than Sherman as a presidential candidate. It is an at, with only three exceptions, every chief jus- tice and justice of the supreme court has been under sixty years of age at the time of his appointment. As Mvr.

And by reason of it all of Omaha'’s laboring men find plenty of work. 'This pleasant fall has placed in the pockets of Omaha's army of wage workers many thousands of dollars. If it should continue as it promises to for a few weeks yet, the winter need not be feared. The frugal laboring man will have plenty to keep the wolf from the door. THE stone-cutters of Omaha protest against convict labor contractors fur- nishing the stone for the city hall. And it is right that they should. Itisunder- stood that Mr. Stout is interested in one of the bids, which means, if accepted, that coanviets will cut the stone at Lincoln, thus depriving honest laborers of what is justly due them, and what they have a right to expect. All things being equal, convict labor should never be allowed to compete with honest work- fngmen. It is to be hoped that the bid behind which is Bill Stout with his prison labor, will be rejected. tion. it has hitherto done, that it is incapable of formulating a policy regarding the question in which the people are most deeply concerned that the representa- tives of the party can unite on, it may happen that the people will see the folly of longer reposing confidence in the party. tience for relief from oppressive tax- ation, and if the democratic party can- not agree upon what should be done, if THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDN Sparks Resigns.

Anything might be better than to do nothing. The indications are that the demo- crats will get no nearer to accomplish- ing anything in tho next congress on the question of tariff revision and re- duction than they did in the last. With a reduced majority they ave divided and undecided not only in this but all other questions of legislation. The faction that holds the majority in check is rela- tively stronger than in the last house, and it does not appear to be any less disposed to dictate terms. It is possible, but hardly probable, that the majority will yield. Much may depend upon the wishes of the president, who un- doubtedly will have a great deal more to say than hitherto, and very likely with more effect. He wun- derstands how necessary it is that the party shall do something, and, having much at stake, will not spare any effort to bring the represen- tatives of the party into line in support of somo policy. But the outlook for nc- complishing this is certainly not favor- ablc, and another failure will leave the democracy very little upon which to build confidence. An Ineffective Service. It is evident that so far as the service of the office of comptroller of the cur- rency relates to the matter of protec ing the public against crookedness in bank management it is not effective, If it were so it is reasonably certain that such failures as that of the Fidelity bank of Cincinnati and the Fifth Na- tional of St. Louis, at well as others less notable, could not have oceurred. It is obvious that there must be a great lack of care and attention on the part of the comptroller’s office when, as in the case of the St. Louis bank, it was found to bave been insolvent for four years. No such a state of affuirs could have con- tinued if that ivstitution had been sub- jected to such an examination as the law contemplates, but which as a matter of fact is very ravely given to any bank. The usual practice of most bank exam- iners is to aceept the statements of the bank officials and omit that personal ex- amination of every detail which the law requires them to make, and this prac- 1 tacitly endorsed by the comptroller’s buveau for years. For the want of a stricter supervision hank ex- amination has become to a great extent amerely porfunctory procecding, the results of which arve no longer regarvded by the public with auy degree of confi- dence, ullly oly 1f it is possible to vemedy this be douo, and the matter is very to command the attention of congress. Unquestionably the great majority of the banks of the country are honestly managed on sound business principles. But it will not do to be satisfied with assuming this to be so, it must be known. The law provides a way for ob- taining this knowledge, and the system has been regarded as wise and sufficient. Perhaps it would be found so if exe- cuted with thorough efficiency. The evi- dence, however, isthat either the law is defective or it is not properly adminis- tered, and it is important that whatever the trouble may be it be found and remedied, Does 1t Own the Cit Instead of securing a franchise to build a cable railway on the streets of Omaha, the cable company appears to imagine that the entire city was voted to it. In tearing up the paved streets of the city it was presumed that the pay- ing would be replaced, and the streets left in the condition in which they were found. Thisis not the case. On the asphalt streets, the railway has gone through them, and instead of placing flat stone on the cross streets, cobble stones have been dumped in, leaving the crossing rough and uneven. The company building the line should be required—as it certainly is under its franchise—to leave the streets as it found them. Then aguin, in making excavations on cross-walks, the life of citizens is endangered, because of not half suffi- cient danger signals at night. Tt is not enough to apprise a man of the fact that he is about to full into a hole five feet deep, by placing a red lantern with a four inch globe in front of him, with ten chances to one that he will not observe it until too late. The company should be compelled, without further delay, to place danger signals along its entiro line of work, and where the excavations are at all dangorous, be required to fence them in at night. The Council's Duty, From the appearance of Omaha's streets, the parties who have the con- tract for sweeping them do little more than draw their salary. There is no other city in the world, boasting of paved streets, that expends as much money to keep them clean, with such wretehed results, as Omaha. The contractors draw over fifteen hun- dred dollars each month for doing little or nothing. Take Farnam street for an example. There you will see dirt and rubbish and filth three inches in depth, almost any morning. The gutters are filled with garbage, and, to all appear- ances, there is no effort made to remove it. It certainly is not a good business principle to allow men to reach into the city treasury month after month and take the tax-payer’s money under false pretences. Every citizen favors clean- i No property owner will object ng money to clean the streets— but every man will insist that the work be done. Fanning & Co. should cither be com- pelled to do their work well, or the council should cancel the contract and award it to some one who will earn the salary. Our Sidewalk System. An ordinance passed some weeks ago regulating sidewalks calls for uniform- ity in construction. The ordinance re- mains practically a dead letter. Side- walks are being built every day on our principal streets, and there is no more attention paid to the curb grade than if there was none. The result is that instead of having uniform and even walks they are up and down, topsy-turvy, uninviting and dan- gerous. Pedestrians choose the middle of the strect rather than endanger life and limb, This could all be avoided with but lit- tle additional cost. But it must be understood that every property owner who puts down sidewalks must get the curb grade and build to it. There is no use to build corduroy roads in Omaha., What we whnt are respectable sidewalks, THE question of restricting immigra- tion will undoubtedly come before con- gressat its next session, and a very gtrong pressure will be made in favor of oxtreme legislation on this subject. Congressmen already in Washington are already quoted as of the opinion that congress will enact legislation so as to make it impossible for the an- archist leaders of Europe to come here. It is not unlikely that congress will also be asked to enact a law under which an- archists can be exiled from the country. There is great danger that this sort of legislation may be carried too far. Granting all that can be said regarding the desirability of excluding those people who coming here might make trouble, and of getting rid of those al- ready here whodo make trouble, it will bo wise to consider the possible cost of such a policy to our liberties. Having started on this line of exclusion and repression where might it not lead to? Can we be sure that having kept out and driven out the foreign agitators the time would not come when Amer- icans would have & check put upon their right of free speech ? Can we afford to sucrifice liberty of speech for the sake of muzzling a few men who preach doe- trines hostile to our institutions ¥ Thoso who advoecate such a policy confess a fear that American institutions rest on A basis so insecure that they can be shaken by the vapid declamations of these agitators, but it is hardly to be believed that any considerable number of the American people have any such fear. On the contrary, we helieve the great majority of our people vegard our institutions as entirely safe against the tirades of anarchists and all other enemies, and are certain to remain so while the prin- ciples upon which they are founded are maintained. One of the most important of these is the liberty of speech, and it will be time to fear for our institutions when that liberty is vestrained by legis- lation. Lawlessness should be punished.

The crown prince, while lacking nothing in courage and strength of mind, #s of a peaceful dispo- sition. He sympathizes fully with his father in his cfforts to establish the peace alliance of tho central powers of Europe. Prince Prederick William on the contrary is of a rlike disposition and it is believed would prefer to see the triple alliance one of war instead of peace, and with Bismarck at his side a savage war it would be. In such an event the position of England would doubtless be with the queen’s grandson. England, Germany, Austria and Italy against I'rance and Russia, would make Europe and the Mediterranean sea very unhealthy for American Yourists. —— S1TTING BULL, who has made a crazy quilt of his scalp-locks that erstwhile dangled at his belt, is living in quiet. peace and plenty at the Cheyenne agency.

The late Major Mordecai, of North Caro- lina, met the czar of Russia once and in the course of the conversation, which was car- ried on in French, addressed him as ‘“‘Mon- siour.” Turning to General :McClellan, the major said: *“D—n the fellow, I called him mister.” The czar, with a smile, remarked: “Let us talk English, wo can get along bet- ter.” The North Carolinian didn't cuss the czar any more during that interview.
