SE—— NEW YORK’S emigration commission- ers and Collector Magone are evidently trying to do their duty in regard to the imported contract labor law. At least they make a strong effort at it when the XKnights of Labor hold a prod behind them. eEsEp—— THE young democracy of New Orleans are evidently bound to break up the solid south of their fathers. The boys propose to see that the old folks give them a free ballot and a fair count, and will use Winchesters as persuaders on election day MAJOR GENERAL CROOK will be as- signed to Chicago, so our Washington advices state, although he has expressed a preference for San Francisco. The belief seems to prevail at the national capital that there are too many Miles in the division of the Pacific to allow the gallant Indian fighter ‘to do the most effective service. S——————— WAYNE MACVEAGH, President Gar- field’s attorney general, has just been elected president of the Philadelphia Civil Service Reform association. The compliment is well deserved. For nineteen years Mr. MacVeagh has been identified with a eivil service movement, and he has never swerved in his purpose of purifying politics. BY the time Captain Foloy and the B. & M. janmssaries have been re- leased from special police duty by M ager Holdrege and are on their way back to Chicago, Philadelph or wherever they were recruited and en- listed, the council will pass a resolution requesting the chief of police to run every mother’s son of Pinkertons into We city cooler. Tne grand procession of sad-eyed farmers led in chains by a beefy eastern fuctory owner with a bay window, which paraded our city, through the columns of the Omaha Sunday Herald has been just five weeks traveling from Chicago to Omaha, The cut of the procession ernaments the front page of a Chicago weekly of March 10. We do like enter- prise but there is such a thing as being 100 enterprising. THe temperance cause has as many fluctuations as Wall street stock. In the language of the street it has gained two points, but this rise is tempo and fluctuating, and has come from unexpeoted quarters, Kentucky held a prohibition convention where the maj- g: and colonels, strange to say, went ee whole days without taking a rink., The striking brewers of New York, Chicago and Cincinnati have boyeotted beer for four weeks. Butin spite of this favorable turn to the cause, the depressing news comes that Maine is going to give up prohibition, In consequence, temperance stock hasbeen checked in its rosy flight emyp——— TRe offensive partisaus of Nebraska, who as federal office holders are busily engaged in selecting delegates to the state convention, and are doing heroic work for party politics, ave warned. It was to them that Mr. Cleveland divected his proclamation of July 14, 1886, that “office holders are the agéats of the ple, not their masters, and that they ave no right to dictate political action of their party associates.” Mr, Clevelund’s words are clear: ““The influence of federal office holders should not be felt in the manipulation of politi- cal primary meetings and nominating conventions,” The question is, how many foderal office holders take this I junction seriously to mind? Not guo. To Begin To-day. Tf nothing interpose to change the order in congress, the tariff bill of the ways and means committee will come forward to-day for consideration. TItis to be supposed that the chairman of the committee will have ready a speech in support of the measure, and thus will open the discussion. How long this may be continved it is impossible to say. More than a hundred members are registered to speak on the tariff, and many who have not thus signified their intention will doubtless be heard on the subject. The understood plan is 1o devote five days of each week to the bill until a vote is reached on it, which the friends of the mensure desire shall not he later than the first of June. The opponents of the bill are expected to use all the parlinmentary tac- tics at their command to prevent & vote being reached at that time. In this way the country will learn after awhile of their full strength and of the chances of the bill in the house. Itmay be taken for granted that the repub- licans are very nearly solid against it. The latest estimate of the number of republicans who will support it does not go above half adozen. When the final application of the party lash shall be made ihe number may be found even less than this. The influence of party pressure has ghown itself in the case of several republican representatives who before congress assembled and since widely proclaimed themselves in favor of tariff reform, and it will be vigor- ously and effectively exerted from now on, so that there is little risk in predict- ng that when a vote is taken the re- publicans will be found al- most unanimous. It is im- Kouiblo 1o say how many democrats Ir. Randall will be able to mar in opposition to the bill, but certainly a less number than he was credited with controlling sixty days ago. Several of those who were counted in his faction have already signified their intention to support the bill, and party considera- tions, with the influence of the admini: tration, will perhaps induce others to do so. If the democrats have the sup- port of no more than six republicans and lose not more than double that num- ber from their own ranks they can pass the bill in the house by amere majority. The party pressure on both sides will be very heavy, and every man will be given to understand that his standing in the party, and therefore his political future, will depend upon his vote on this bill. The measure should be, and to be hoped will be, amended in several important respects, but, the proper way tomeet it is not by mere captious opposition and obstruction, but by a straightforward and honest ef- fort to secure such changes as will re- lieve it of the objectionable features and make it more nearly than it is a na- tional measure, dealing justly and equitably by all sections and interests. Republicans who profess to favor tariff reform eannot expect to have their pro- fessions believed if while opposing the bill of the majority of the ways and means committee they have nothing to offer in the line of reform in place of it. The country is tired of that sort of statesmanship which expends itselfin fault-finding and bas nothing to pro- pose for remedying existing evils and abuses, 1t is impatient of the practice which holds every question to the test of party expediency and advantage. It is losing confidence in pledges that are persistently disregarded. It demands that there shall be practical, intelligent and honest action on the questions of taxation and revenue, o that the peo- ple shall have the relief they nced and the government be provided with no more fromtheir resources thanits neces- sary requirements call for. This is not only practicable, but would be easily accomplished if the representatives of the people would address themselves to the task in an honest and patriotic spirit, Rut this spirit is subordinated to the demands of party and the ambi- tion of individuals. The tariff discussion that is expected to begin to-day will be regarded during its progress with increasing interest by the country in the hope that the ult may be so wise and satisfactory as to re- move this question from controversy for years to com it is Underbilling. There is hardly any form of discrim- ination by railways more dangerous than underbilling, chiefly for the reason that it is so difficult to deteet. The inter-state commerce commission, in referring to this method of diserim- ination, cited several instances of the underbilling of grain loaded into cars from private elevators at Chicago, and other examples have since been found elsewhere, showing differences of from forty to ever one hundred per cent be- tween the actual weight and the billing weight, the mistake always being on the side of the shipper. The evidence shows that during the last scason a large amount of grain has been loaded at interior points in the western states and gone through various junction points south and west of Chicago without transfer to the east. The ship- ments are made from small country sta- tions where no facilities for weighing the grain exist, but where local buyers have storehouses or country elcvators, and their weights have been accepted by the earriers in reliance upon their good faith. Tt is a custom among rail- roads to seal ears for long-distance ship- ments, keeping a record at junction points of the condition of the seals, a road upon which a seal is unbroken not being regarded as liable on damage claims. In many cases of underbilling the initial railroad company has no doubt been cognizant of the fact that the weights were not full, while other cases no doubt exist in which the car- rier was entirely innocent, This practice, which to some extent before the passage of the inter-state com- merce law, is said upon good authority to have very greatly increased since, in a great measure taking the place of the payment of pebates. In view of this Judge Cooley, chairman of the iuter- state commerce commission, is r: to be making a personal investigation, in order to detgrmine what is necessary to be doue to put a stop to the practice, prevailed THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, APRIL 17, Such an evasion of the law obviously de- feats fts purpose of preventing dis- erimination between shippers, and while it may be admitted that carriers are sometimes imposed on by dishonest shippers in misrepresenting the weight of shipments, it is ot to be supposed that this happens often, but that in tho majority of cases of underbilling there is collusion between the carrier and the shipper. The law is violated in every such case of discrimination, but as we have said there is the great difficulty of detection, and besides this of fixing the responsi- bility. This, it has been suggested, could be most surely done by making both the shipper and the carrier amen- able to the law, and declaring it an of- fense for any person to offer for ship- ment or for any transportation company knowingly to receive and forward any article the true character and correct weight of which are not specifiod in the shipping directions or way-bill. This is one form of evading the inter- state commerce law which will requ attention, and there are doubtless others that investigation would develop. The suggestion of such disclosures is that congress should give the law patient and thorough con- sideration with a view to such amend- ments as will render it more effective for the prevention of the abuses it was enacted to remove. So farcongress has not shown a very zealous disposition to do this, and it was not untimely on the part of the New York chamber of com- merce in passing a resolution calling t body to takeaction to prevent sions of the inter-state com- 2 law still practiced by the rail- road companies, and toapply equal pen- alties fov violations of the law to both railroads and shippers. As we had supposed, the ways and means committee of the house will bein 10 hurry to report the senate bond pur- chase bill. 1t is stated the committee will ask the opinion of the secretary of the treasury as to the effect of the pro- vision of the bill requiring the purchase and coining of silver to an amountequal to national bank notes surrendered, al- though his views must be well known to the committee. It is of course desi: able, however, to have the official state- ment as a basis. With the opinion of the secretary antagonizing the silver provision the committee will feel more fully warranted in doing what it had already intended to do, report unfayor- able on the bill in order to relieve the president of the necessity of passing upon it. The opinion of the secretary, however, will be virtually that of the president, so that the country will not be deceived as to the present views of Cleveland regarding silver. Mean- time nothing will be done toward re- ducing the surplus by the purchase of bonds, for the reason that Secretary Faivehild stupidly or stubbornly de- clines to regard as sufficient the declarations of both houses respecting his authority to buy bonds. The senate having taken a position on this matter will very likely not recede from it, and therefore the promise is that the wreas- ury will do nothing to help the money market in the only way that is now open toit. In the play at Wuashington for party advantage the interests and we!- fare of the country are getting very lit- tle show. THE people of Colorado are congratu- lating themselves upon the prospect of the removal of the Southern Utes from that state, a bill for this purpose huving passed both houses of congress, A Den- ver paper remarks that it would be well nigh impossible to overestimate the value to Colorado of the removal of the Utes, and appears to look with happy anticipation to the day when it can an- nounce that there are no Indians in that state and no tribal reservation to be found within its limits. Undoubt- edly the Utes haye been troublesome to the people of southwestern Colorado, and certainly the state will be better off without them, but perhaps justice re- quires itto be said that the Indians would not have been so troublesome cept for the treatment they received at the hands of unscrupulous white men, some of them occupying official posi- tions. The eviden s that some of the whites of southwestern Colorado are quite'ns bad, or a little worse, than the red men, as will perhaps be more dis- tinetly shown when they have no one to prey upon bhut themselve A LoNDpON dispateh announces the sudden death of Mr. Matthew Arnold, one of the most distinguished scholars and writers of England. No contem- porary foreign author, except perhaps Tennyson, is better known than Arnold to the literary cirelos of the United States, and in his two visits to this coun- he made many personal friends His vecent paper on American tion, which was not altogether flattering to American vanity, heen widely commented on, generally with rather more resentment than was de- served, Mr. Arnold has loft in numer- ous volumes of poetry, critical essuys, and other writings, a lasting monument to his learning and his supevior intel- lectual endowments. JouN L. SULLIVAN, tho noted apostle of the sledge hamm fist, has sailed for home and will arrive within a week. The change of climato has not agreed with his constitution as well as 1t was expected, And his friends will be dis- appointed to learn that his striking f{ea- tures have mot improved, although Prof. Mitchell relieved him considera~ bly of the big-head, from which he suf- fored before he left America. Owing to his presemt delicate condition, no wild demonstration will be made upon his arrival at Boston, But he will be asked to lecture there at an early day on, *The Englishman; the serious im- pressions I have of him.” eme—epep—— Crose observers have woted with satisfaction the marked improvement magde by our district court in expedit- ing business, Bspecially has the change been made apparent in the prompt dis- position of criminal business before this court, and also in the reputation the court has recently made for itself in showing a determination to see that law- breakers do not escape the prescribed penalties. It is"a’ good thing for the peace of any col nity to know that we have a court jrhich will not permit & oriminal to escagd punishment through a technicality and that impartial jus- tice is dealt out to law-breakers. The civil docket has also been reduced and litigants can have their causes adjudi- cated within reasonable time. __VOICE OF : :u:fétfin PRESS, The Beatrice Reptblican favors Genoral J. C.Cowin for congressman from the Big First, The Schuyler Herald officially announces J. Sterling Morton as the eandidate for vice president on the demoeratic ticket. The fool-killer started out. to annihilate the editor of the Greenwood Leader, but upon seeing his victim, committed surcide. Labor union conventions are being called throughout the state and champions of the new party aro mustering for the coming fray. The Franklin Echo finds that John Mc- Shane, congressman from the First district, has sent nearly all the peoplo of that county a copy of the president’s message. The South Sioux City Sun sees that tho day is not far distant when a uniform pas- senger tariff of two cents per mile will bo established throughout the country. The Ashland Gazette concludes that the “indications are that Judge Gresham is in as favorable a position to securo the republican nomination at Chicago next June as any of the able gentlemen named. The Beatrice Democrat, with cries of anti-monopoly appearing throughout its col- umns, favors Harry Phillips as a delogate to the republican convention. The Democrat seems to know what would most weaken the republican party. The Columbus Democrat, after reading a abrief which shows that the earnings of the 1. & M. for several years, have been enough to build the road each year, says the pro- ducers of Nebraska will suffer as longas they pay the excessive tolls demanded. The Nebraska City Times figures out that since Judge Shields of Omaha, has decided that when an attorney doesn’t charge more money for his service than his client has, the fee is not unreasonable, an immediate emi; tion of lawyers to Omaha may be expected. The Cedar county Nonpariel 1s informed “that the freight on 400 pounds of flour bags from St. Louis to Hartington is $1.50; from St. Louis to Yankton §2. It is evident we need a little competition in froights, and we need it bad—and it is more than probable that we will have it shortly, to.” With a power of keen discrimination and proper understanding of the situation, the Beatrice Republican finds that “T. H. Ben- ton of Lincoln, the present deputy in the auditor’s office, is spoken of as a candidate for state auditor this fall. For this position the republicans want some one who has done something for the party, not a person whom the party has made hat he is.” “The rank and file of the republican party,” says the Fremont Tribune, ‘‘have a duty to perform in gothg to caucuses and con- ventions and seeing to it that the disreputa- ble leeches of the party (all parties have them) do not run the machine and carry off the offices and the htinks of glory attached thereto. It is the permission of such things as these that bring a party into bad repute, and makes it astenchin the sight of heaven.’ The Holdrege Ciiizen looked twice before it wrota: **No party Jin existence to-day or that ever existed, has such anarray of talent, s0 many noted and emineat m-n in all depart- nients of knowledga, so many statesmen in the purest, hest sensé of the term, 80 many philanthropists, 8o many successful business men, $o many zealous supporters as has the republican party to-day, and all will work together for the sucess of the republican candidates at the fall cawpaigu. The Dundy Domocrat, looking of the field in the Second district, discovers that ex- Speaker Harlan, of York county, is waking av early and earnest canvass for the republican congressional nomination in tins district. He argues that Laird has been long cenough in public Life to demonstrate his lez- islative ability, if he has any, and further, that it is time for the anti monopoly element in the party to receive recognition. Harlan will be remaembered as the leader of the Van ‘Wyck forces in the last legislature. After reading the Right Hounorable David Mercer's gallons of panegyric on “*young men in 1888, the Wayne Gazette 1inds that “the usual scramble to represent this state at the national convention has already began, and in somo districts is liable to be an exciting contest. The younz republicans of the state are coming to tho frs nd usnding re- cognition, and if the right men ara we are decidedly in favor of giving them a chi here are a great many competent young men even in our insist on letting them have an opportunit trying their metal. Old men for c young men for action, and in & contest of The Ke: article, in wt for United States senator, on the ground that he was betrayed by the last 1 remembers the distinetion between the North Platte and South Platte, but argues in this way: *“The imaginary line of the North Platte and South Platte country should eut mo figure in electing senators. Themen who are the ablest and most de- voted to the interests of the people of the whole state, and of the nation at large, should be chosen, regardless of section, and the larger portion of the electors of Nebraska are viewing this matter in that light, aud are prepuring to make a successful fight to re- turn General Van Wyck to the United States senate in place of Scuator Manderson.” After closely scunning this field of presi- dential possibilities, the Grand Island Inde- pendent thus speaks the sublime sentiment of its master mind: “And we, therefore, think 1t advisable, to call again attention to the great “republican” whom we once proposed us Nebraska's candidate for the presidency. We, of course, mean John M. Thurston, the American fisherman, Tincoln naster of the oil room workers, rtl headcenter of the so-called “‘republican’® Blubs of Nebraska. We agree with Gere dm the doctrine, (that even a chief uttorney of a railroad has noliti- cal rights, and we thight that the chief of the “pepublican” clubs off Nebraska, may even aspire to be the chicf 8feur nation.” The Hastings Independent lays down this preseription as containigg the balm for which many farmers hope and to which they are entitled: ‘*“The best thing the farmers of Nebraska can do in a pokitical way is to rally 10 the primaries and nominate and elect far- mers to the legislature this fall. There is nouse of allowing politicians of the towns and cities to dictate to the farmers, who are largely in the majority, and have the power if they will only use it and not to divide up. No reform can be effected except by the farming population. It is tume that they rise in thewr strength and assert their rights, and perform their share of legislative work. The way to make their power felt is for every one of them to be at the primaries or caucuses, and there seleet men to represent them in the couventions.” T'he Journal speaks in terms of highest praise of Van Wyck's speech, ‘delivered Plattsmouth a few days. ago. Itsaysthe speech was thoroughly Van Wyckian from start to finish, and abounded in sharp points and telling hits,. His topic was “Labor,” _guilty and was bound ovi and he discussed it from the standpoint of the Inborer’s interests, The first hit he made was at the imperted Pinkortons, and he said thet no man eould bo an oficer of the law in Nobraska unless he was a citizen of the state, and e gave the mayor & ligk by saying thgt whoever swore them in would not likely gver be In a osition where he cou do the ike agaih soof. He declared that whlle Ncfl supposed themselves freo, ddrpirhte v actuadly rufed the confitey. Ho was disappointed that Governor Thayer didn't pitch these Hessians into tho river or put them out of the state. Ho talked of the tyranny and aggressive power of cor- porate capital as against labor and blamed the Q. company for not paying its engincers better wages, justifying the strike most em- phutically, He gave railrond corruptionists a severe drubbing, and called attention to the election of John M. Thurston, the Union Pacific attorney, as prosident of the state re- publican league. “Once a railroad lawyor, always one,” safd he, and the head of the Lancoln “oil room" gang was more likely to overthrow the republicans in the stato than any other thing. —_— STATE AND TERRITORY.
