Yet Mr. Martin blew out the gas in his room, and will probably have an account of it in the Congres- sional Record. This will satisfy bhis constituents. BUSINESS in the senate opened with a rush. An unprecedented number of bills has already been introduced, but it should be remembered that a statesman i8 not known so'much by the number of bills he introduces as by the number he gets through. i —— A COMMISSION was appointed to in- vestignto the causes of the recent Chats- Worth disaster. A reporthas been sub- mitted which shows that the commission is composed of luminous minds. They say that the train would not hive been destroyed if the bridge had not been burned. Nothing cin be more conclus- dve than this statement. THERE is discord among the Penr vania railrond managers. The pr dent of that corporation has detery to abolish rebates and other officials of the road oppose such action. The con- sequence is that many heavy shippers have been secretly informed that dis- crimination has heen practiced against them. These have brought suits against the eompany aggregating a mil- lion dollars. When thie fall out honest people somoetimes get sheir own. . THE malignant influence of the infer- nal machiue upon the happiness of our people was illustrated in a peculiarly painful manner in New York the other day.

It is something of a n upon thecare and intelligence of congroess that so important a meas- ure should have passed both houses the detection of this mistake for surely the merest on of the cffect the law would on mining enterprises in the es wonld have prevented its in the shape that it went . The argument in favor of amendment is s0 obvious, and the facts ng it so unquestionable, that it obable the required - change in the law will meet with any serious op- position. to prevent the absorption of large areas of land by aliens it should stand as it is, So far as the act is intended ome change should be thought neeessary to render it stronger for ac- ‘the one it has, and the same is true of | complishing -this object, but there .is every city in the country that has grown | clearly no menace- to. any interestin largely in population und business dur- | permitting forcign investments in min- ing the past twenty years.

Just throw a man into prison for accepting any gratuities from railroud, telegraph or express compn< nies. A law of such a kind could be so eusily enforced. Fspecially in the American house of lords, where at lenst two-thirds of its members are owned body and soul by the railway corpova- tions. How humiliating it would be for Leland Stenford toexperience the novel sensation of paying railroad fare! Yet there is no use to cnumerate the rail- way magnates who hold seats in the senate or dictate to those for whom they have purchased seats. Mr. Plumb has a correct idea, if the simple bunishment of passes would re- lease senators and congressmen from their obligations with the great corpora- tions of the country. Without passes the fare of every railroad tool in either house would come back in the form of a rebate. If acongressman or senator prostitutes himself to the base uses of corporate power, he would recgive his salary secrotly. If Mr. Plumb wouldrs- write his bill and make it an offense punishable by fine and imprisonment for any senator, congressman or gov- ernment employe to use his influence in | securing legislation favorable to cor- porations, then it would probably be lost by a larger majority than his pres- ent measure. — Stop the Wrangle. The city hall wrangle continues. The ofticials representing the pcople have a duty to perform, so plnin that it can- not be mistaken. It is to ascertain, speedily and without further delay, who are responsible contractors, and order the work to proceed. If Regan Bros. are able to build the city hall, let them build it. If they are not competent contractors, release them without fur- If,. on the other hand, it would be to the city’s interest to award the contract to Nevins & Co., do 8o, if the Regans have violated their contract. The taxpayers of Omaha who pay the rent for the city offices demand imme- diate action. They want the hall built at once. Personal choice of officials must not be considered. The subject is of vital ‘mportance to all our people. s complications may is continued longe! The question of who secures the con- tract should not interest the honest offi- cial, so that he knows that the work will be done at a reasonable figure, in a substantial, workmanlike manner, and not delayed one day later than is neces- sar Tug convenion of representatives of the dairy interests of Nebraska, now in session in this city,is an assemblage whose deliberations will be regarded with great interest and cannot fail to have important results for the large and growing industry that gives promise of great development in N&braska. The programme of exopgisegincludes a num- ber of papers by practical dairymen of long experience, ;pl\mfl s which there will be a great of valuable informa- tion presented relafing to the progress and present conditfon of the dairy inter- est in Nebraska and in the country. There is no industry in the growth and improvement of which the whole people have greater concera,and there is no state possessing better conditions {han Nebraska for placing its dairy in- terest on the highest plane of ex- cellence. The state association aims to accomplish this, and whatever, encour- agement it may ask at the hands of the public it should be accorded. The sessions of the convention will be open to all, and they should be well attended by our citizens, and particularly by dealers in the products of the dairy. — RUMOR has it that Omaha is to figure somewnnt prominenily in the great whisky trust organized some two months ago, and which is defigned to control the manufacture of whiskey throughout the west. The statement is that Iler & Co. have allowed themselves to be swal- lowed by the octopus, which is under- stood torepresenta capital of $50,000,000, and that Mr. Iler is to be thétrust treas- urer. There has been nothing said ns to the probable effect of the deal, if it has been made, upon the business of Iler & Co., but that is a contingency to be determinéd by what the combina- tion shall find expedient in out its policy of destroying compatition. Neither is it stated whether as treasurer of the trust Mr. Iler weuld be requirved to locate at I’earia, the headquarters, but very likely this would not be neces- sary. The Beg has so frequently and explicitly declared its hostility to this form of monopoly, which it believe to be most dangerous to the publie inter- ests, that it could but regret the fact of an Omaha industry being absorbed by such a combination.

Omaha's Brave Protectors Do Fine and Valuable Work. The cells in the central police station were well occupied last night by a great variety of evil doers. There were the usual number of drunks, disorderlies and vags, and among this common herd were to be found prisoners captured for more serious crimes.
