KANsAs CiTy cmnph\lm of railroad discrimination and is sighing for the establishment of a freight bureau “gimilar to the ones in Chicago, St. TLouis, Omaha, Sioux City and other places.” A railroad burenu is undoubt- edly a benefit to the merchants of a eity, providing the managers are capn- ble and trustworthy men. Too often, however, the railroads get a lien on the bureau, and the merchants are held up and skinnes IT 18 a universal rule for railroads to discriminate aguinst small shippers through classification by making a higher rato for shipments less than ca load lots than for the shipments of whole carloads. The cuse for doing this is that it costs a railroad more to handle small quantities than it does a whole carload of freight. In conse- quence the tendency has been to favor the large shipper at the expense of the smaller one. This form of discrimina- tion, which effects the small farmer principally, is to be brought to |h. at- tention of the inter CHIEF SEAVEY, us & member of the board of health, has taken the garbage question in hand by addressing a letter to the council calling its attention to the inadequate facilitios for disposing of the city’s vefuse. The dump boats have proven expensive and unsatisfac- tory. With an outlay of from three to five thousand dollars the city can erect a garbage crematory which will prove effective, The health of Omaha de- mands it. A disrogard of sanitary piiu- oiples has brought on an epidemic of typhoid fever in Denver. The authori- taes of that city are now wmoving heaven and earth to stamp out the disease. Omaha should not follow Denver’s ex- ample of indifference until the last mo- ment. Rather lot our city profit by the example of Minneapolis, whero a cre- matory was erccted by private sub- scriptions to be reumbursed by the city, owing to the fact that at the time no funds were in the treasury applicable for the purpose. Now the crematory is self-supporting and brings in a revenue sufficient to pay back the temporary loan. The garbage question in Omuha is one that must bo met. The city can- not afford to have its reputation mjured and its business impaired by an demic scare. The financial loss would be incaleulable as vompared with the fow dollars necessary to prevent such a calamity, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY. AUGUST An Appeal for Decency. The republican state convention which assembles at Lincoln to-day has an op- portunity to strengt! the party and insure its continued supremacy in con- trol of the state government. While republicans of every faction ave in per- fect harmony as regards the national ticket, there is sorions danger of dis- cord and disaster un vention il have the courage to place party above corporate inter Tho t this cratical juncture, mes and blunders of the past. Bight y ago the republicans of this state were forced to a choice of voting for John M. Thurston and Jame 88 tho con party cannot, repeat the ¢ S8, Laird as presidential cloctors or de- fouti A. Gavfield, This spring Nebraskn — was represented at the nati vepub tion by scven vailroad by John M. Thurston. Thurston, the most br ive bribe i conven- wyers headed and this man 'n and unscru- distributors and chief conspirator against good gov= ernment, Is it not high time for the republican party to purge itself of this pulous of legi polluting and corrupting influence? Has not the time arrived for the party to assert its independence from rail- road domin Are we to cuter the nt sampnign handicay ningless platform and candidates that are known to be subservient to tho railvoads? Will N braska never be emancipated from their buneful influence? The Party Not R spousible. The effort of democratic organs, and of those so-called indcpendent journals, which are equally zealous in for the success of thed the republican par laboring mocracy, to hold ¢ in any sense orde- gree responsible for the mistaken ut- terances of Mr. Blaincregarding trusts, will have no effeet upon fair-minded men. In that matter, Mr. Blaine spoke for himself aloue, and the whole re- sponsibility must fall upon him. Whether or not Mr. Blaine was familine with what the republ ty had de- clared through its national con vention regarding trusts, or aware of what representative republ cans had done in congress for the sup- pression of these and all similar com- binations, or knew anything of the sen- timent of the republican press and the massos of the purty on this subject, his declaration regarding trusts was dis- tinctly hostile to the views and the atti- tude of the party, and responsibility for it must in justice rest upon Mr. Blaine one. When a political party has ex- plicitly and unqualifiedly avowed a principle or doctrine it cannot he fairly held responsible for something wholly different proclaimed by one of its let ors, however high he may be in its councils and confidence. The democratic party said not a singlo word in its national platform regarding trusts, Nowhere in the deliberations of tional convention does it appear tany one had a thought hostile to the monopolistic combinations that have multiplied with most alarming rapidity since the present administeation came into power. Neither the millionaire coal operator, Mr. William I. Scott, nor the we .llthv railroad m.\mpuluhu, Colonel Calvin 8. Brice, nor the Mary- land railroad pnhuu.m, Senator Gor- man, vor that zealous friend of the peo- ple and champion of the “star-cyed goddess of reform,” Henry Watterson— all professing as cemocratic lead- ers to have the interests and welfare of the people so much at heart—had a word to suy un- tagonizing the trusts. All these gen- tlemen were prominent and potential in the deliberations of the convention. They were members of the committee that reported the platform. But their professed concern for the public welfare did not suggest to them to incorporate in that declaration of the party’s prin- ples asinglo expression unfavorable to combinations of capital for stifling com- mercial competition and thereby con- trolling -md regulating production and prices in the intevest of these combina- tions. They were absolutely silent re- garding this very important matter, and what malkes their ilence the more im- pressive is the fact that the platform was constructed at Washington and received the approval of Mr. Cleveland long in advance of its appearance in St. Louis, What was the motive that induced the president and his most in- timate counsellors to omit all referenc to trusts in a declaration of prineiple intended to make the most plausiblo and effective bid for the popular vote? Did they conclude that for the present at least it was expedient to regard these combinations as private affairs with which no private eitizen has any pavtic- ular right to interfere? What is the record of the dem- ocratic house of representutiv also in relation to the trusts? It has instituted investigation but absolutely nothing of prac- tical value has come of them. worthless veport was after A wholly repented ef- forts dreawn from the committee on manufactures, giving the result of its partial and inadequate investigations of the Standard Oil and sugar trusts, but presenting no new facts and making no ggestions or recommendations for dealing by legislation with these com- hinations. There was a great deal of bluster and promise early in the ses- sion, but nothing has been accom- plished. Bills have been introduced for the suppression and provention of trusts, but they have been buried in committee room: The democratic na- tional convention and the democratic house of representatives have avoided any expression inimical to the trusts, and there is very excellent reason to believe that in this the wish of Mr. Cleveland himself has been the author- ity and guide. It does not therefore be- come the democrutic party or its organs to berate the republican party or at- tempt to kold it responsible for the mis- take of one of its leaders, The position of the republican party regarding the trusts is too strongly and clearly defined tobe affected by anything which My, Blaine o» any other individ- il member of the party may say. The national platform s “We declare epi- our opposition to all combiustions of capital organized in trusts or otherwise- to control arbitrarily the conditions of trade awmong our citi- zens, and we recommend {0 eongress, and the state legislatures in their re- spoctive jurisdictions, such logislation ae will prevent the exocution of all hemes to oppress the people by undue charges on their ¢ upplics, or by unjust rates for the transportation of their products tomarket,” There can be no doubt as to the meaning of this, and its sincerity has boen attested by the efforts of Senator Sheran and other republi- caus in congress to secure legislation that would destroy the trusts. The party being thus clearly on record, the democratic attempt to injure it before the people beeause of the mistalen ut- terances of Mr. Blaine witl be futile with all fair-minded v Sailing Under False Pretenses, Councilman Bedford is reported as saying that he was convinced nothing would be dor hout the city hall until the council kad found out by a vote of the people where they want the city hall built. Councilman Bedford may not have been in Omaha in 1885 when the location of the city hall was mitted toa vote of the people. probably is ignorant of th suh- He fact 1.ml tho loeation was fully and freely discussed three years ago this sum- mer, and that the pronosition to locate and erect the city hall on the iteenth and Farnam s thousand votes, with less than one hundred and fifty poiled against it. Does Mr. Bedford pretend W the action taken by the people od for one city council? Does he or any other man pretend that the people did not know what they we about when they voted to issue two hundred thousand dollars in bonds to build the city hall on the site fixed in the election of Novembe 18852 Ias he heard nothing about the ruling of the court which expressly declares that the city hall is already located, bound to 1 Lti- and that the council is in duty complote the building without mate alteration of the plans which w ] a popular vote? We concede Mr. Bedford to be a good business man, He was elected bec people believed him to be such. Can he for one moment justify the con- duet of the council in its course with r gm'(l tothe city hall building? Would &ny roputablo business man violate con- tract obligations as the council have done in exponding over twenty thou- sand dollars of school money under con- tract with the board of education on the city hall basement, and then repudiate its obligations? Would any pradent business man allow the foundations of a fire-proof building go to wreck and ruin, as the council have done with the city's property? Is not Mr. Bedford aware that the present council have acted in bad faith toward the taxpayers and citizens in everything pertaining to the city hall building? They have pretended that the Myers plans were imperfect, and yot two-thirds of the council havene 5o much as looked at the Myers plans. They have trumped up the charge that Tue BEE building would endanger the city hall foundations, when in fact no engincer or architeet has ever dared to place himself on record in support of this false pretense. On the con- trary THE DBE building has, if anything, made the foundations of the city hall more secur de of the city hall, but th men that invented this pretexv are urging that the space between the two buildings be closed up, when they know that such a chango would exclude all the light from office rooms on the east side of the city hall. They have asserted that the basement walls, for which the city hasalready paid thirty thousand dollars, are inse- cure, but this is disproved by every Omaha architeet whose opinion has been asked. They have declared over and ov again that the city hall, as planned by Myers, would not afford room enough for the city’s demands, but wheun the plans are consulted it is found that the building will not only accommo- date every officer of the city, afford ample room for the school board and the publie libra) and still contain twenty odd offices for which no oceu- pant can be designated. Furthermor the proposition to cut the building down in its dimensions shows on its face bad faith with regard to the plea that the building is not large enough for all the wants of the city. In conclusion, let us ask Mr. Bedford why the council refused to invite bids for the building this season, when b can be had at six dollars a thousand, and other materials are twenty per cent cheaper than last year, and labor is abundant and anxious to find work? Does not the conduct of the council show skullduggery and chicanery at every step that has been taken in this matt How do those councilmen who went | into couft and swore that they never intended to change location and were acting in good faith, justify their con- duct since the court issued its restrain- ing order There is no suspicion attaching to Mr. Bedford’s integrity, but he cannot consistently play into the hands of and boodlers, who have vegard for common decency, and fiantly ignore the wishes and interests of this commnnity. It is as plain as the nose on a man’s face that the prime object of several of the com- mon scoundrels who have been playing shuttlecock on the city hall, is to bleed the property owners of upper Farnam and compel support from them politi- cally. But these blackmailing boodlers will never get a dollar if we can prevent it,and they will never be able to make atrade that will secure them political Dhelp from that quarter. wreckers no It's All Moonshine, Another preposterous scheme has been hatched by the dog-in-the-manger gang to obstruct the building of the city hall on upper Farnam, This time it is proposed that the county commissioners shall swap the court house square and court house to the city for Jeflerson square, and build a new court house on that spoteat an expense of half amillion dollars or more. Whai a sugar-plum this would be for boodlers? But it is all moonshine. The county commissioners ave no r oft the. court house or sell a foot of the - court = house square with- out - sanction by the peoplo 1 election, The people of Douglas y will never give them pormission They would not do so even |r|1m had ot bonded the county for huilding the court house. A public building in Jefferson square would have to be ten storic high to make it strikingly prominent. It would cost & hundred thousand dollars extra for ‘uring the foundations if the building is to be fire-proof and to cover half of the square. The court house may be rebuilt within the next fifty years with a view of combining the city and county oflices under one roof but the court how will not be relocated during the present gonevation. Tuw stobborness of the Sioux re- garding their Dakota veservation is repeated in Colorado, where the Utes refuse to leave their lands in the south- western part of the state and remove to Utah. The government has heen quictly engaged for sowe time in ne- gotinting w these Colorado Indians, h no apparent suce of that part of the state ar chafing under the obstinacy of the In- dians. The needs of the state den that this section of it be the Utes stand as an imy in the way. Under existing treatics, so lor s tho tribes will not dispose of thoir intevests, and so long as they pre- serve poace, it is impossibl govornment to remove them, vespecy the Tndian is treated than a white man. The propert the latter may be taken for public w by the payment of a just compensation whether he be willing or not. But an Indian canvot be divested of his hold- ing without his consent without a viola- tion of his trenty rights. He is indec a monopohst beyond the reach of law or legislation. THE ordinance pu: for the In this botter of ed by the council providing that persons fined in the lice court, and who are unable to pay, shall be required to work out the fincs on the streets instead of being kept in prison at an expense to the people, will unquestionably receive general approval after it shall have gone into operation. The “ball and chain® policy is good not merely on economical grounds, but as an influence for the prevention of the class of misdemeanors that subject the perpetrators merbd! s. Theaver- age bummer views with alarm the pros- pect of having to put in days of labor in shoveling dirt or per- forming other: work on the strects as the penalty of a spree, and many of them will be led thereby to sto short of the line of danger. Such arvesult will be a good thing for the city and also for the average bummer who may eleet to bemain here after the ordinance into effect. A Dbrief trial will demonstrate the worth of such a regulation. goes WiiLE Mayor Broatch has been over- ruled by the council on his veto of the proposed appropriation for lighting Sherman avenue during the faiv, hisac- tion is in perfect conformity with the law which forbids overlaps. According to the estimates of the comptroller there is alveady un overlap of over thou- sand dollars, and with the best economy it will reach twenty thousand dollar from the current expenses, not nulull- ing even the gas bills, Itis the p duty of the mayor to veto any r tion or ordinance that makesan overlap, no matter what the consequence might be. Inthis instance the council has closed its eyes on the stubborn fact that there is no money in the treasury, be- cause it wanted to encourage and assist in making the fair a success But for all that, the appropriation was illegal.
