Tie Towa legislature proposes to grapple with the railroad regulation is- sue in dead earnest, and the rail- road lobby at Des Moines will be kept busy all winter. MR.

The board of education hus just created the office of keeper of the high school grounds at 850 a month, and appointed Hugh Mallon to the soft job. Now let the council appoint a keeper of Jeffer- son square at $75 a month- — POSTMASTER GENERAL DON DICKIN- 8ON will doubtless be the managing volitician of the administration. If his success in running national democratic politics is no better than he had in managing the affairs of his party in Michigan the administration will not find him a great acquisition ACCORDING to a Sioux City paper there scems to be some dispute as to whether Omaha is the state of Ne- braska. Omaha has never elaimed to be the state of Nebraska, but it has al- ways paid one-tenth of the taxes and has one-tenth of the population. On the other hand nobody has ever thought of Sioux City except as the tail end of Towa. THE attorney general of Ohio has recommended to the governor of that state that the laws of incorporation be #0 changed that combinations of capital shall be prohibited from limiting pro- duction, advancing prices and cutting off competition. This is just what is wanted. We are anxiously wuiting for the attorney general of Ohio to show how it is to be done, COLONEL FRED GRANT nppcms to be prudently shy of democratic favor. He was offered the position of quarantine commissioner to succoed Platt, but de- clined, although the place would un- doubtedly be very agreeable to him. 1f the colonel belioves he has a politi- cal future, and very likely he does, not- withstanding his rather disastrous de- feat last fall, he cannot afford to allow the enemy to use him, as evidently it is disposed to do. There is some pretty sharp political work being done in New York just now, and the colonel will do wisely to keep aloof from it. S ———— Tne national board of trade will meet in Washington to-day. A large vep- resentation of boards throughout the country that are members of the national organization is expectod, and much of the time of the session will be occupied in the discussion of propositions, already submitted from a number of boar trade, relating to the surplus and enue reduction. As a representative body of the business men of the country, the national board of trade ought to exert u commuanding influence, but it has generally been found t much diversity of views existed among its members as iu any other body of egual numbers, and the result has been that the deliberations and conclusions of the board have not counted for much. The prosent meeting may prove to be »f more importauce,’ The City Advertising. At its meeting last week the couneil rejected all bids for eity printing, under the pretensc that it could not tell who was the lowest bidder, and the city clerk was instructed to invite new proposals from certain designated papers.. This order was ingeniously worded so as to exelude the bid of the Bek Publishing company for the morning edition of the daily Bre. In order that council- men may not plead that they don’t know that they have no right to make any such order, we quote th etion of the charter relative to city advertising: Section 133, The council at the commence- ment of each year, or as aoon thercafter as may be, shall designate some daily news- paper, printed in the city as the oMcial paper of the city, in which shall be printed all gen- eral ordinances and all notices or other pro- ceedings required by law or ordinance to be published. Al publishing of the city shall be let by contract to the lowest responsible Didder. And the newspaper which shall be awarded the contract ns the lowest responsi- ble bidder for pubtishing all the matters hercinbefore specified, shall be the one de- signed as the officlal paper of the city, pro- vided that said paper shall have at least 2,000 reulation for six months lust preceding the time of bid, Now in the first place the council has taken no steps to ascertain the circula- tion of the papers mentioned in its order, and in the next place it has no right to exclude the bid from any re- sponstble newspaper which is known to have more than 2,000 circulation during the past six months. The council may not be aware of the fact, but it is never- theless true, that the BEE's ussociated press franchise is for the morning edi- tion. The attempt to exclvde that edi- tion from the competitive bids for city advertising is a palpable violation of the charter, which leaves the council no option whatever to designate which daily papers shall or shall not bid, any more than it has the option to say who shall or shall not bid for street paving or construction of public works. — 1t is Explained. Mr. Lamar has only to receive his commission, which, if not already in his hands, will doubtless not be long de- layed, in order to take his place on the bench of the supreme eourt of the United States. e owes his confirmation to two republican senators and a political noundescript who was elocted as a repub- lican, but who acts from time to time, according to his state of inebriety, with either party. Nothing different was to have been expected of Riddleberger, who has no regard for political obliga- tions and no care for principle. But what cau be said in defense of the course of Senators Stanford and Stewart, and how does their action reflect upon Lamar? The letter of Senator Stewart pub- lished last week, intended to justify his determination to vote for Lamar, and in which, as now appears, Senator Stan- ford concurred, did not dispose of the objections to Lamar, or furnish the jus- tification for their proposed action w hich these senators intended it to do. It was unmistakably a most painstaking effort to find reasons for a course which it was proposed to take for quite other reasons. These are apparent enough now. The two republican senators who voted to confirm Mr. Lamar are identi- fied with a great railroad corporation which is very likely some day to get before the supreme court, and the new justice is not an ungrateful man. But these shrewd and vigilant guardians of the great corporation do not count largely on mere gratitude, They re- quire something more tangible. Is it not plain that they already have it in pxu't, at least, in the course of Lamar in driving Sparks out of the land office and dismissing e Barnes as the last act of his administration? Could there be any stronger circumstantial evidence of an understanding than is presented by these facts? Sparks and his most faith- ful assistant in the land office, who was really the author of the administration’s land policy and knew more about the fraudu- lent claims of the corporationsthan any other man in the service of the govern- ment, were agreed upon as sacrifices to appease the-corporations and secure the two votes necessary to confirm Lamar, He carried out his part of the compact, and now the corporation senators have fulfilled theirs. It remains to be seen whother they are now quits, or the new justice of the supreme court has further obligations resting upon him, Inauy event the people will not fail to under- stand the motive of the men who are res ponsible for his confirmation, and this knowledge must greatly in- crease the popular distrust of Mr. La and tend to more firmly estab- lish the opinion that he is a man wholly unworthy to occupy the highest judicial position in the nation, e—— The War on Trusts, There is a growing determination, which cannot be too earnestly encour- aged and cultivated, to find what can be done by way of legislation to suppress that most formidable and dangerous form of monopoly, the trust, and to give the remedy prompt and effective opern- tion. Measures have already been in- troduced in congress looking to thisend, there is promise of the subject receiv- ing the early attention of sevaral of the state legislatures now in session, and eyen the Tammany society has thrown its wfluence into the scale agninst these combinations, which it declares to be “ pernicious in their effects, dangerous in theiv power, and oppressive on the people in their creation of nonopolies,” Out of these numerous efforts, which will be supplemented by others, it may reasonably be expected that a practicable way will be found of pre- venting these combinations, the dangers of which to the public interests and to the material prosperity of the country the people are beginning to clearly un- devstand So long as the trust method of mon- opoly was confined to two or theee de- partments of business there was no 'y general fecling of concern regurding it. The Standard oil and@ the cotton seed oil trusts, for example, the progenitors and models of all the existing combina- tions of this character, encountercd no serious hostility outside the ranks. of those .who were made the vietims of their avarice and power. - The popu- | THE OMAHA DAILY BE&: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1888 lar . judgmont condemned their policy and course when brought to attention, but there was no general senso of an urgent nocessity for taking legislative cognizance of these organizations. At best the popular mind is slow to discover danger from the growth of monopoly. The shrewd, and for the most part unscrupulous men who enter combinations to plunder the people proceed in their work insidu- ously, and when their schemes are safely launched there arc not wanting devices to keep them afloat and to de- lude the public. The early trusts, being livtle watched by the great public eye, were enabled to carry out their poliey of absorbing or crushing out competition almost without hin- drance, and they tako the largest ad- vantage-of their opportunity. If these monsters of monopoly could have gone on without breeding their kind it is not unlikely that this systom might have had an indefinite carcer unchal- lenged. The example, however, was too inviting to be ignored, and there are now more than a score of the prog- eny of the parent trusts, all brought into existence within the last two years. Thig rapid growth of a pernicious and dangerous policy, directed in many cases to the regulation of the product and prices of the necessaries of life, aroused a public sentiment of hostility that is now beginning to manifest itself in a practical way in the halls of legis- lation. The people have come tounder- stand that the question of self-preserva- tion is involved. If the trusts ave permitted ,to continue and multiply it will be only a ques- tion of time when everything that the people eat,drink, wear, or useinany way will be completely under the eontrol of these soulless combinations, Not only this, but the progress of enterprise and the prosperity that proceeds from an unrestrained and vigorous competition will receive a check damaging to the general welfare, The demand that something be done to put an end to this aboornal development in the commer- cial system of the country is urgent,and will not be denied. The matter presents & new problem which may not be easily dispesed of, but there are probably no difficulties in the way that will be found insurmount~ able. The power of congress to interfere with this form of monoply may be lim- ited, extending only so far as it may be shown that their existence affects com- merce between the states, but whatever congress may be unable to do can cer: tainly be supplied by the states. Inthis there should be thorough and cordial co-operation among the states, and in- deed there must bo to render a move- ment against the trusts effective. This may not be accomplished at once, though its ultimate attainment may be regarded as certain, and meanwhile the combination may be expected to make the best use of the time, as the sugar and other trusts are now doing, 1 en- rich themselves by a deliberate robbery of the people. SoME years ago Buffalo Bill had him- self shot at in Council Bluffs by a man who had a great deal of method in his madness. The would-be midnight as- sasin was sane enough to shoot wildly in the air. He was promptly arrested and the whole country was startled by the Associated press reports of Buffalo Bill's hairbreadth escape. The shoot- ing, arrest and vrelease were all a part of the wild western play, and served its purpose of advertising the famous showman. The latest advertising dodge, and by all odds the thinnest, is the arrest of prominent editors on trumped-up charges of libel. This was done the othgr day by an actor who pretended to také®ilense at Sam Small, whose ser- mon was published in the Ksnsas City Times. Among other random talk about actors, Sam represented this particular actoras havingsquealed after having lost heavily in gambling in San Francisco. Tt was preposterous to charge an editor with criminal libel for publishing a ser mon, but it was a part of the play. Editor Mumford was arrested, and the associated press of course advertised the actor far and wide without any expense to him. The case will never be tried. It has already served its objeet. TAMMANY is notin full sympathy with the president. At a meeting of the so- ciety a few days ago resolutions were adopted doclaring that free trade is a myth and boldly assailing civil service reform by asserting that “‘we believe in the absolute, vigorous and untram- meled control of the people over every department of the public service. There is perhaps not quite as much wi dom in the councils of Tammany at present as there has been in the past, but there is an evident disposition to keep it on its traditional lines, and this would necessarily array it against civil service reform. It is not apparent that Mr. Cleveland is very solid with this faction of his party. JUST now the street commissioner has little or nothing to do. The city is paying him $1,800 a year. The charter doubtless contemplates that he should discharge other duties besides super ing street repairs during the busy sea- son. ction 106 of the charter provid: that in addition to the duties hercin specitied, namely, street repairs and maintenance work of the city “the street commissioner shall do such other work as may be prescribed by ordinance or by the rules of the board of public works.” It is with the board of public works to designate what the street commissioner shall do during the winter months, ——— PROMINENT PERSONS.

The fire and police commissioners held a meeting last evening in the office of the chief of police. The first thing considered was the caso of Ofticer George Raworth recently susponded from the polioe force on the charge of lar- ceny. Yesterday Raworth was tried before the police court and his case was given a thorough examination, which resulted in the dlslmu’l of the charge against him. De- spite this the commissionors decided to dis- miss him on general principles, the chief being decidedly displeased with Raworth's services as an officer. The special order of business for the even- ing was the personal examination of candid- ates for positions in the fire department. There wero upwards of thirty applicants, but only six were chosen. The fortunate ones were Ed Galligan, Jamos McNamara, George H. Crager, Duvid H. Doyle, Robort McKittrick and Joseph White. Other business of minor importance was transacted and o general discussion of mat- tors pertaining to the lice force.
