Ourof atotal tax levy of four hun- dred and cighty-one thousand dollurs in the year 1888, there 1s a delinquent county tax of but thirty-six thousand dollars. This encouraging ex- hibit. is an T took 124 officers and employes to run the state senate in 1887, at an ex- pense of twenty-four thousand, nine hundred and sixty-live dollars and sixty cents, which did not include perqui- sites. This is surprising, but true. Tue last legislature appropriated two million seven hundred and twenty-two thousand eight hundred and ninety-six dodars and eighty-six cents. These staggering figures ought to be kept in view of every member of the legislature. THE On wrehist bugbear will hardly justify less waste of money on militia dress parades. Who would expect the militia to suppress dyna- miters and bomb-throwers? If the po- lice could not cope with them the regu- lars would have to be called in. Tue lower house of the last legisla- ture furnished positions for ninety-six officers and employes at an outlay of twenty-two thousand four hundred and fifty-three dollars. No vouchers for “value received” for this enormous outiay can be made that will satisfy the taxpayers. — Tnr people of St. Paul, Minnesota, are determined to build an ice-palace this winter, and the council of that city hads appealed to the legislature of the state for authority toappropriate twenty thousand dollars for that purpose. Private enterprise, it seems, is not equal io the task of providing a winter’s carnival, and the rich and the poor of the city, whother they be willing or not, may be forced to contribute to the project, IN 1885 the grand thtal of legislative appropriations was one million six hun- dred and seventy-eight thousand seven hundred and ninety dollars and ninety cents. In 1887 the legisla- ture incrensed this already burdensome tax to two million seven hundred and twenty-two thousand eight hundred tnd ninety-six dollars and eighty-six cents—over a million dollars ncrease In two years for identical state government. COMPLAINTS are being made of a grain blockade in the intevior of the state, due to a lack of proper freight fa- cvilities. This would indicate that the railroads of Nebraska have all the busi- nessthey can handle in moving the great crops of the state for the year. But there is no reason why sufficient rolling stock should not be provided. The railroads can not put forth the plea,as in formor years, -that their rolling stock is blockaded by snow or forced to the necessity of hauling coal into the state, due to severe winter weather, iy the same As one result of the Chinese exclu- sion bitl, California is reported to be suffering for a lack of common farm lubor. This is beginning to show itsolf in the withdrawal of the coolies from the farms to supply the factories of the cities. Fears are entortained, that there will not be sufficient labor 1n California to take cave of next season’s crops unless recruited from the cheap negro labor of the south or from the newly acrived im- migrants from E The Chineso exclusion has vesulted in raising wages wof farm help and common labor, and this in itself will induce a tide of immi- ia, gration to sot into Califor Tie address to the senate of Licuten- ant Goyernor Meikeljohn was brief, but it contained some pointed suggestions, He referred to legislation for securing the purity of elections as of prime im- portance, and his jnfluence in this di- rection may be expected to be vigor- ously exerted. He declared, also, that legislative expenscs should be limited to the necessary wants of the legisla- ture, and promised that so far as his power extends this shall be done. This is the sort of disposition that is very much needed in the legislature, and mnd the influence of the heutenant gov- ernor can be of material assistunce in promoting it. ME. GOVERNOR THAVER'S Tho message of Goverror Thayer is the most exhaustive official review of the affairs of this state that has manated from any executive since Ne- braska's admission into the union. The governor presents a carefully compiled exhibit of the financial condition of the and the veceipts 1 disbursements of the various depart- ments and state institutions during the past two years. He dwells at consider- able length upon the assessment, taxa- over state, tion und revenue systems, and repeats former recommendations for .a more cquitable and uniform method of raisoment of all classes of property. 'h forms are in accord with the popular demand, and should be among the first important measures formulated into law by the legislatur In § nting the estimate for ap propriations ommended by the heads of executive departments, Governor Thayer takes it for granted that the requisition for make n hundred extrava- de- would nine dollars the ant levy of 1887-8, is absolutely nded in order to meetthe necessitics of our educational and henevolent insti- tutions, and provide for unavoiduble current To this view Tue Bk takes most emphatic exception, and will, in the interests of the tax endeavor to convinee the governor and legislature that the machinery of state and our public institutions do not re- quire an increase of state taxes, and will not suffer by a very material reduc- tion from the last lovy, which was extravagant and extremely burdensome to the tax-payers that ations \ppropr incrense of n thousand over expenses, \yers, On the railroad question Governor Thayer'’s message will commend itself 10 the masses excepting so fav as it re- lates to the Pacitic railroad debt. The mly upon the governor plants himself ground that every railroand operated in this state, whether chartered by congress or incorporated under the laws of this state, is subject to the control of the state, and as a common iershould be regulated in its ope- ions and restrained from imposing I excessive tolls on its patrons. The gov- freight Nebraska they that in declare rates higher are in Towa and Kansas. this demand the people of Neb will heartily endovse the governor, but we doubt whether the legislature or state board of transportation will have the backbone to equalize our railroad rates with the established rate in Kansas. The governor’s recommenda- tion that the railroad commission be elected by the people sounds well enough, but in practice it would not bring about any very material reforms. The experiment has been tried in Cali- fornia, and lately in Towa. The effect has been to transfer the pressure of the railroad lobby to the state convention “Phe railroads would pack the primaries and conventions, and give the people the privilege of ratifying their choice at the polls or bolting their party ticket. also passenger be no ernor and should than 1If they captured both party coventions there would not even be a remedy in a boit. On the subject of maintaining the ex- pensive militia establishment, created by the last legislature, the governor makes an earnest plea for its mainten- ance during the next two years and advances many guments in support of his recommenda- tion. It 1s questionable, however, whether the people of Nebraska can afford to keep up tais martial array, in view of the enormous increase of taxes involved. The recommendation of the governor for the settlement of labor troubles by a board of arbitration will receive much favor, although it is questionable whethera permanent board can be relied upon to prevent labor disturbances. A board of arbitration to be effective must have the confidence of both the laborer and the employer, and 1t is not likely that a board in the choice of which only one party has a voice will be able to arbitrate suc fully. The governor’s recommendation to prohibit the importation of Pinkerton detectives isin accord with popularsenti- ment against the importation of m cenaries to usurp the powers that should be exercised by the law oficers or the police. The legislation recommended by the governor to prohibit trusts is also commendable. EXCLUDE TH The bill to probibit the bringing of forcign detectives into Nebraska for police duty should become a law. The practice which within a fow years had become quite gencral with corporations and large private companies of import- ing armed hirelings, ostensibly to pro- tect their property, but in reality to overawe the people, is an outrage upon the sovereign authority of the states and a menace to popular liberty that cannot safely be permitted to continue. Theseso-called detectives, most of whom are irvesponsible and reckless men, em- ployed as circumstances call for them by an agency which has its ramifii- cations in every part of the countr and which also appeurs to be without re- sponsibility toany authority, have been employed in a number of states during the past year, and notubly in Nebraska, Hundreds of these armed mercenaries were distributed along the line of the Burlington system in this state, their presence evorywhere Jheing demoral ing and mischievous, The people were insulted and brow-beaten, brawls were incited, a number of persons suffered bodily injuries and terrorism prevailed wherever these irvesponsinle hirelings were stationed. There was not a reasonable excuse or justification for importing into Nebraska these pretended detectives and clothing them with potice authority, This state was fully able to protect its citizens and all the property within its jurisdiction, and to preserve peace and order. Its statutes make ample provision for every possible exigency in these respects, and the authorities, state, county and mu- nicipal had never shown any upwilling- ness 10 comply with the laws, The cor- poration, however, whose head officials reside in other states, were not dis- posed to rely for protection upon the sufficient laws of Nebrasica and the good faith of the authorities 1n executing midst a and set up in our power under their own con- trol and direction, to be exe- cuted by armed men not citi zens of Nebrasks common with the pe and urged that it was the duty of the state aathorities to resent this outrage, but nothing was done beyond a mild, unofficial expression of opinion on the part of the governor that the presence of these merceneries in Nebraska was objectionable and unne ¥, which of course had not the slightest influence upon the corporation employing them This example is very likely to be fol- lowed in the future with more aggra- vating circumstancesof insult and abuse nd having nothing in ple. We believed ressiL of ou people unless provision be made to prevent a spetition of the ex- pericnce we have had. Unless some such law is enacted as the bill introluced in the senate proposes, the next time a corporation shail deem it necessary to set upa police authority of its own in Nebraska it may show even greater are did the Burlington. The ing people of this state, jealous of their rights and liberties, would not be likely to tolerate another such invasion of as that of last year. Should there ever again be a like con- tion of affai nl the authorities ae- clined to interpose for the protection of the people from insult and abuso it is more than probable the people would find a way for ridding them- selves of the obnoxious intruders. But no such extremity should ever become necessary. and it can be avoided by placing on the statute books a law expressly forbidding the importation of detectives for police duty and provid- ing adequate penalties for its violation. In other states which have had an ex- perience similar to that of Nebraska such a law has been enacted or pro- posed, and it is justified by every con- sideration affecting the rights and lib- erties of the people. IN WESTERN KANSAS, s of Kansas have elected a legisiature pledged to extend the equity of redemption on mortgaged farms from one to three years, which is in effect a denial of title to the pur- chaser of property at a foreclosure sale until the expi tension. This is a very serious and asit may boattended with very di trous cousequences to the whole state of Kansas, it is to be hoped that there will be suficient discussion of the contem- plated measure, and that it wili not be rushed through with a wild hurrah, and voted, so0 to speak, by conclamation, or clamor. 1t isnot tobe denied that the farmers of western Kuansas are in dreadful straits and that a crisis has been reached in the affairs of the whole of the state beyond the 96th meridian. They ave in sore need of relief,and the sympathy of all honest men will be with them, but not if they seek to save themselves from ruin by what scems to be rank dishonesty Their pre- sent proposal 1s to deprive, by an act of the legislature, their creditors of the security which they gave for the money they borrowed—a precedent which will be viewed with -abhorrence by all re- flecting men. Prgperty is sacred, and the whole aim of Taw and equity is to make it so. The people of Nebraska are too near to the people of Kansas not to be interested in their affairs, and there will be great regret if the good name and credit of our neighbor are destroyed by any ill-advised step. The farmers of western Kausas have been ruined by a succession of blighted crops of wheat and corn for the past three years. The hot winds have dried up the ears before they could mature in 1886, 1887 and 1888. Five thousand farm- ersin this section have not waited to be dispossessed, but have packed what worldly goods remained to them in their wagons, and have migrated in every direction, save the west. How many farmers have remained and propose to invoke the aid of the legislature to ficht off the holders of the mortgages cannot mercenaries A CRISI The farmc ion of the poriod of ex- ter, be told, but their name is legion. Two points deserve to be considered pri- marily—the cause of the mortgages and the value of the property at stake. It is notorious that the majority of the farms in this section were held by men of small means, who mortgaged their land in the first place to buy steam threshing machines and other labor- saving devices. The reputation of the wonderfully fertile lands of eastern Kansas was s0 great that this mortgage system, which commenced there, was carried further and further west, be- yond the parallel of longitude which marks the line of immunity from the American sirocco. The lenders were aware that the interest on the sums they had advanced could not be paid un- less the harvests were propitious, and that the borrowers were men who re- lied upon their energy and their strength and had little eclse to vely upon. They took this risk knowingly. But they did not know that the hot winds had also to be taken into con- sideration, They are as much vietims as the farmers, But it will be said that they receive the farms, and that owing to the enor- mous number of foreclosures they get them for much less than their value. What then ig their value? To the un- instructed thinker it would seem that the lender would rather have his money than a farm coutinuously blighted by hot winds. But as so many farmers are determined to hang on to them, and have taken such exteaordinary steps to fight their ereditors, it must be assumed that they have a value not apparent to outsiders. Under these circumstances it seems that it would be far better to devise some fair and honorable way* to secure an extension of time. Ther can be no good reason why time should not be given. If the farmers can rght thomselves, the creditors must feel that it Is to their interest to give them the chance; but if they cannot, theu the land bad better. be surrendered to the desert and renounced of all men, This grace of extension should be the merey of the creditors, and should not be ex- torted from them by such a revolution- ary measure as an act of the legislature. That would absolutely destroy the credit of the whole state, and it cannot be prudent to do that for the sake of a section which may not be worth saving.

The city has learned from experience that restric- tions must be imposed on companies and corporations in order to protect the peo- ple from imposition and extortion. The franchise just grantod to the Meig’s ele vated railroad company by the eoun has, among a number of provisions, a clause fixing the maximum rate of fave at four cents. The right of fixing a maximum rate for telephone service is to be enforced against the telephone company of the city although the com- pany is making a havd struggle not to be bound by any such condition in its franchise. It is even willing to give the city three per centof its earnings as an equivalent. But the authorities will hardly presume to act contrary to the united opinion of the press and the people who insist that a low maximum rate for rental be established. Chicago has setan example which other cities will not be slow to follow. M. EDWARD SIMERAL retived yester- day from the office of county attorney, which he has filled during the past two vears. Mr. Simeral has been the first attorney upon whom devolved the duties which had previously been discharged by the distriet attorney and county at- torney.

In a bee-line the new discovery 1s less than two hundred and fifty miles from Omaha and by the Missouri river it is not more than three hundred and fitty ‘miles from our city. If the vein leads to inexhaustible mines of coal equal to the Pennsylvania. product, the question of cheap fuel for Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa would be solved,and a great mining industry would spring up as if by magic almost on the northern borders of our state. . THE fire department was considera- bly hampered in raising the hook and ladder apparatus on the burning Mills’ shell, by the net work of telegraph and telephone wires. Had there been a blizzard, accompanied with falling wires, the difliculty of raising the lad- ders would have been insurmountable, and a serious conflagration would in all likelihood have followed. It is high time that the city authorities wake up 10 the danger of & serious conflagration which threatens our city from over- head wires, and take steps to compel the telegraph and telephone companies to build underground subways for their wires at an early date. voting, to effect in the state of Massachusetts within a few months, has excited the attention of nearly every state 1n the union.
