And that such a con- tract is void in law as against public policy and public morality. The people of Nebraska will do well in bearing this comparison in mind when the railroad lobbyists hover over the next session of the state legistature, A Governor Thayer's Duty. Within the past ten days this state hns been invaded by.s foree of armed deteotives who are mow said to bo sta- tioned at important railway points on the line of the Burlington & Missouti rallroad. This force has been imported into Nebraska at the ‘instance of the managers of that road,under the pre- text that they are needed 1o protect the property of the eompany and the safety of its employés who have taken the places of the striking engineers and firemen. The right of the rpilrond company to exercise all reasonable precaution for the security of its buildings, rolling stock and employes cannot be called in question, But no corporation has a right to hire bands of armed men who are not citizens of this state to exer- cise police powers and functions which by the laws of this state can only be performed by the duly authorized. exec- utive officers.. If the managers of the Burlington railroad have any fears of lawless assaults upon their employes, or riotous incendiarism, it is their privi- lege, like that of any other citizen, to invoke the power of the local authori- ties for protection, and ‘if these local officers are unable to repress violence they have a right through them to re-. quest the governor to eall out "the militia. When the state has exhausted its military strength for the restoration of order, the governor-is in duty bound. to call upon the president for foderal troops.- This is the lawful and eonstitu- tional method of procedure. Any attempt. to introduce into this state bands of armed mercenaries to overawe oitizens or interfere in any manner with their freedom of action, is a high- handed usurpation which’ calls for prompt and decisive action on the part aof the.chief executive of this state, - It becomes the manifest duty of Gov- ernor Thayer, at this:juneture, to issue a proclamation to municipal- and county officers to' maintain law and order and to drrest ‘every non-resident who at- tempts to exercise.police authority, or . carries concealed weapons under the pretense of .acting as & guardian to corporate property or . rails way eniployes. Nebraska is a civilized state, whose exccutive is clothed with ample power to protect the- life ‘and property. .of every citizen within' its boundary. ' The importation of armed mercenaries is. a defiance to the state. It isan incentive to disorder and riot that should be promptly checked by the governor. k — Both Parties Willing. The officials.of the Burlington rail- road company and those authorized. to speak in behalf of thestriking engineers. have expressed their entire willingness that the issue between the company and the engineérs shall be investigated, ds has been' proposed, by a committee of congress. Each of the parties professes .to feel so entirely copfident of the right and justice -of its position us to desire the fullest light thrown upon it and to have.no fears of an adverse verdict as the result of an impartial investigation. A candid estimate of this sentiment and epirit must lead .to. the conclusion that . both parties:. seriously: feel that . a vital ‘prindiple to - each is involved in the struggle, "and that it is not a ‘battle in which mer- ceriary considerations ure the .sole in- centive. } 5 The - resolution introduced - in, con- @gress and referred to the cominitteé on commerce provides for an investigation. and authorizes the committee.appointed under the reso'ution to offer its services for arbitrating the- difficulty. If there was substantial - réason for believing ‘that the issue might be settled - in this way. the proposed effort to do "so would very likely have general approval. But there could be no arbitration without the consent of the parties to the. contro- versy, and this method of ing. a -settlement the . Burlington officials have absolutely * refused to adopt. When it was proposed to them their reply was that there was nothing to arbitrate. They are doubtless of this'mind still, and.theve 1s no reason to suppose. that they would be more likely to submit the matter to the decision of a congressional committee than to any other equally reputable and intelligent body of citizens which could be called together any day at Chicago for the purpose of arbitration. The Burlington officials have virtaally de- clared that so far as they are concerned there is no middle ground in the con- tention, and therefore no basis for arbi- tration. It is almost certain, therefore, that any effort of a congressional com- mittee in this direction would be futile. As to an investigation by such a com- mittee, would it accomplish anything to repay the time and cost that would be in- volved? There is probubly nothing of importance to be learned not already of public knowledge. The causes of the strike are well understood, and if there are any motives behind it that have not been made public it is not probable a congressional committee would be able to get at them. Such an investigation might do the one thing of ascertaining approximately the extent to which the trouble has been on injury to the publie interests, and if that information should lead to legislation looking to the pre- vention of such difficulties in future be- tween railroad corporations and their employes the investigation would have served a good purpose. That there will some day be & demand for such legislation, it the time 1s not now ripe for it, there can be no dowbt. Every thoughtful man must see the danger there is to the commer- cial interests of the countryin the unre- stricted freedom of railroad corpora- tions and their employes toengage in hostilities that may result in paralyz- ing the whole carrying trade of the country. What is obviously needed is a more clearly defined responsibility for the performance of duties in which the public is directly concerned on the part of hoth common carriers and their em- ployes. The demands or interests of neither one nor the other should be permitted to conflict with thelr public obligations. Both should be subjected to such restraints and conditions as would compel thém - to adjust their differences without abandon- ing any of the duties which . the public bas the right to expect and require of reach: them, and without Injury to any publie interest. - It is not improbable that be- fore the present strike shall have ter- minated the necessity of such legislation will be more generally and ¢learly seen than it is at present. A p Forward. The United States senate has gone 8o far toward reforming its unrepublican secret session proctice as to modify the | rule regarding executive sessions so as to provide that hereafter. a treaty may be considered in open session, if the majority so desive. This is a very mod- erate concesgion to the public demand for an entire abandonment of the secret session custom, but it is an encouraging beginning. It would perhaps be too much to expect that the senate would sweep away this old practice all at once, | and yet it would certainly gain in popu- lar regard by doing so. Some consider- ation, however, must perhaps be had for the attachment of the older senators to the .ancient methods they have so often found convenient and useful for personal ends, and which naturally “they will rfeluctantly part with, . The step forward that has been taken should encourage renewed zeal on the part of the opposition to secret sessions. The open consideration of treatics is the least. important result to be achieved. The real wrong connected with the se- cret session practice is the star-chamber method of considering appointments.. It is the injury done to the roputation of citizens bohind the barred: doors. of the senate, for which sénators es: eape all responsibility, that is the greatest evil connected’ with the secret session custem. It is the oppor- tunity given senators to.gratify their pergonal or political hatreds that ren- ders the secret session .répugnant to every consideration of fairness and jus- tice. The custom is without a reason- able excuse or ‘justification, and it is only a question of time when it. will be abandoned. For thé step it has taken, let the senate be commended, Inflating the Gas Claim. * The coungil has ordered the gas com- pany to extend its mains on Leaven- worth, between Thirtieth and Thirty- seventh'streets. ‘This means, of course, an addition of from ten to twenty lamp- posts at an "expense of from $320 to 8700 per year. The gas company’s bills, which are systematically -staved -off from month ta month, will thus be swelled,and when the great gas claim is finally settled it will ‘run up' in the neighborhood of sixty thousand dollars. The plain intent of the charter is, that the - expenses ~“for street lighting shall be: . part . of .the. cur: roéut expense -of . the municipal government just the same as rent and fuel ar>, If the gas bills were included in the monthly appronriations and. paid out of the general fund asthe law re- quires, the city could command at least as liberal discount as is conceded to pri- vate consvmers of gas: -That would mean o saving of thowsands of dollars to taxpayers. It would also prevent a reck- less increase of street lamps in every direction,because the council would have. t0 keep within the limits of .its capacity to pay. ‘But that is not the policy which governs the council in its conduct of the city’s business. 'TAE " county commissioners have a project on hand to add another story on the county jail. It is a very serious question whether the jatl needs enlarg- ing and whether, in fact, anothet dol- lar should be expended on the present In the first place, | unsightly structure. the county hospital, which is now under construction, will relieve the jail of ail insane inmates for whom cells are now set apart. In the next place, .the pris- oners vonvicted of minor offenses under the city ordinances will sooner or later be placed in'a workhouse. Lvery large city in the country has its workhouse, but .it is usually located &t consider- able distance from the business center. When. the hospital and work’ house shall bo completed, the county jail wiil simply-be reduced to a prison for par- ties charged with crime during the pe- riod between their arrest -and trial. With the criminal courts -in continual session, the number of inmates in'the county jail will never exceed thirty to forty. For this reason. as well as for the reason that the jail will sooner or later have to be entirely re-built, and probably re-located, the projected build- ing of another story on the county prison is, in our opinion, unwarranted. — ATOR FARWELL has gone on ord in favor of an unpledged delegation from Illinois to the republican national convention. He says to the republicans of thatstate:. ‘“We cannot afford at this time to engender dissensions and di putes by trying to instruct our dele- gates, especially when we know the democracy will go up in a solid column for Cleveland.” It would undoubtedly be a fortunate thing if the republicans of overy state could see the wisdom and importance of avoiding dissensions and disputes by sending delegates to the national convention free to act accord- ing to their best judgment after consul- tation with the delegates from other states. Such a policy would certainly tend to harmony, which is so much to be desired, and could not fail to produce results likely to be more to the credit and gratification of the party than can reasonably be expeocted if there is a con~ test of the pledged supporters of ‘‘favor- ite sons.” e————— GOVERNOR GRAY of Indiana appears to be a very promising candidate for the second place on the democratic presi- dential ticket. The democracy by no means feel sure of Indiana, in conse- quence of the very bad record the party in that state has made, and thercfore an Indiana candidate who is popular at homo is very likely to be strong in the national convention, Gray perhaps would stand best because he would not be objectionable to Mr. Cleveland,while Voorhees would be, and he is not more popular with the Indiana democrats than Gray. Willlam R. Morrison of 1ilinois is willing, but then there are at least two other ambitious pol- iticians in that state eithér of whom would be equally available, and who will stand very much.in the way of the ‘ex-congressman.. It may be re- las appears to have dropped entirely qut of consideration.

The propo- sition was very - naturally resented and the Council Bluffs delegation veturned in no very good humor. We do not believe, however, that the action of Mr. Iler will be sanctioned by the board of trade, whose members as a body, we can safely assert, aré in hearty sympathy with the Council Bluffs enter- prise.

Place all of these ina. circle and they would make 2,088 miles in circumferance, or an mrean of 04,971 square milos! equal in area to nincteen states and territor- 108, leaving yet a liberal surplus. Within that circle-could be found the host of humans affected by strang drink, each tending toward the scething. cess pool in which in 1887 100,000 souls perished. "Temperance foiks.were just like any other folks, each had a hobby. Prohibitionists abuse and eriticise moral “suasionists and vice versa. The conseqtience was these two grand divisions were divided and the enemy whipped them in detail. ‘The temperance hotde could be divided as follows: First, moral suasionists or high li- cense and_restrictive legislation. Second, sore-headed prohibitionists wno see good in n"thlllr but absolute prohibition. Third, the best class of all, and the one to which the speaker belongs, who believed moral suasion good ‘s far as it goes but insisted upon a systematic mixture of the two remedies. OHe would illustrate the érrors of the first and second clasa by the parable of the good Samaritan. The soreheaded itan would be so indignant at the condition of the sufferer that he had no time to offer to him a helping hand, but.rushed, off to abuse fhe thieves and demand the immediate passage of @ law to shut them out of Jericho. That Samaritan set his eyes 8o high that he could 1ot heed the appeal the condition of the suf- ferer made fo lns immediate attention. The moral suasion good Samaritan would find his heart too full of sympathy for the suf- ferer to be indignant at thoso responsible for his condition. is entire attention woyld be absorbed in alleviating the sufferings of - the man, while he took no steps to prevent a recurrence, of the misfortune. ‘The third class believed that reform in man was like reform to the joung tree, The care. ful gardener after bending the frail brauch aright would not leave it to ite own weak- ness, but would place a aup{mrt to maintain it in its proper course. Just so with men, moral suagion was good as far as it went, but it needed the cap sheaf of legal suasion to make it cffeetive. Society had a right to protect itself eyentat a.sacrifice of individual tastes. - The plan of battle was to wage war against the traffic all along the line yet never in the heat of battie be too busy to rescue the perishing or care for the dying. J There was a class of men who -would. sign the pledge whenever asked to or break it whenever asked to take a drink. These were the well meaning fellows without the staminato back their good resolutions. For them & [ifavcntnv.lve as well ds cure was neaded, This was not found in high license but their sole salvation lay in an absolute abolition. of the trafic. ‘“What we .need, mothers,” concluded tho speaker, *'is a conl-: lete abolition of this evil, so that when your gqy is away from your side you need not lis« ten ‘with fear and trembling for the sound of :llis staggering footsteps at. his' ‘mother's oor.” i 2 § During the.evéning the Harmonica quar- tette rendered several charming vocal selec- tions. . -This quartette is from KFalls City, Nob., and is composed of three sisters, the Misses Nowkirk and Miss Crow. ese young ladies added much to the interest of the occasion.

There were two_of them last night, one in the Second ward aud one in the city hall. The few men at the latter kept everything quiet until the last minute, and then after ex- pressing mutual admiration for each other, decided who were the best men to run ciqic affairs for the futuro. Some good men were named,however, to give a tone to the affair, and then those present adjourned confident that they had held a citizen’s meeting, In future no way freight will be allowed to block the tracks of the Stock Yards com- pany.
