As A result of the Is recent conference in New York City, the presidents of western railroads ask to be pardoned for their past misdeeds and want one more chance to reform and do right. The question is, however, can the leop- ard change his spots? Tue upper house Qf the Nebraska leg- islature has made up its mind to print every bill introduced. That looks as if twenty thousand dollars would again be spent for the purpose. Of course the the senate considers this expenditure a mere drop in the bucket. THE legislature of Colorado will, in all probability, adopt a high license law. A bill has already been intro- duced in both houses. The people of our neighboring state have awakened to the fact that high license is the most practical method of restraining the evils of the liquor traffic, IN all probubility West Virginia will elect a demoeratic senator to sue- ceed United States Senator Kenna.

He has as much as indicated that he will vote with the democrats on the joint ballot. —_— JUDGE GRESHAM has no compunc- tions of conscience in directing that the Chicago & Atlantic railroad be sold to satisfy mortgago claims. If other rail- roads in the country loaded down with burdens which they cannot pay would be sold for their value, 1t would un- doubtedly be best in the end for all con- cerned. There is nothing more dan- gerous to legitimate railroad competi- tion than a bankrupt road in the hands of a receive: Tuoe appeals that have been made to General Harvison in behalf of Mahone, of Virginia, and Powell Clayton, of Ar- kansas, for o position in his cabinet, ought not to embarrass the vresident- elect. He is familiar with the unenvi- able records of these politicians, and he must realize that the appointment of either of them to any position under his adminstration could not fail to embar- rass it and to do infinite harm to the re- publican party. They are out in the cold, and there they should stay. SLNATOR INGALLS was not asked to dine with President Cleveland at the annual dinner given to members of the cabinet. As president of the senate, Senator Tugalls’ high position entitled him to o scat at this regular state din- ner, and it is the fivst time in the his- tory of the government that the head of the senate was purposely.excepted from the inviied guests. The reason for this exclusion is not hard to dis- cover. Senator Ingalls on @ former oceasion allowed his tongue to swing too freely concerning Mr. Cleveland and his family affaivs, As a punishment he has not been invited to any of the din- ners given by the members of the cabi- net or by Mr. President himself, But the senator from Kansas will probably not suffer indigestion on account of this studied shght, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE;. THE HIGHT OF INSOLENCE. The board of transportation passed a resolution offered by Auditor of State Benton that the secretaries sball give no information to the 1 ture until it shall have first been sidercd and sanctioned by the board. The purpose of this resolution is plain. 1t is a brazen faced attempt to block tive investigation into the methods of the hoard and forestall, if possible, any disclosure of motorious abuses which the board has viciously condoned and even encouraged. The impertinerice of Mr. Benton is unex- ampled in the history of this state. No state officer sinee the days of Dave But ler has ever dared to interpose obsta- cles to legislative inyestigation. And legislature that has ever convencd this state would for a moment tol such insolence. What be thoug Mr. Benton if he should order his deputies to disobey a requisition to appear before a legisla- tive charged with sti- gating into the management of the au- ditor’s office and th 1 loose way of doing business for which that oflic has been notorious? Would the le lature tolerate such audacious defiance of its authority—would it tolerate such conduct even on the part of a chicf exccutive? Mr. Benton and ob- streperous colleagues are evidently not aware that the legislature is suprome in its authority over the executive depart- ments, It the power to depose state officers and judges for malfens- ance in office. Its mandates are more compulsory than those of any court. In planting himself in the way of legisla- tive inquiry Mr. Benton and his col- leagues on the board have laid them- selves justly liable to severe legislative discipline, The least that the legis tue can do with any seif-respect in g ing itive is to administer a timel ing rebuke, state con« legsl is no in eratc woul or clerks committee ny and has ts prerog and stin A SUGGESTION. The legislators of Nebraska may able to find a suggestion regarding a banking law in a bill that has been in- troduced in the Missouri legislatuge. The measure provides for the appoint- ment by the governor of a bank com- missioner, whose term of office shall be for five years. The commissioner must not be in any manner connccted with a banking corporation,and he shall mako astatement annually to the governor showing the condition of the hanks of the state. Any person or persons de- siring to enghge in the banking busi- n shall furnish to the commissioner their places of residence, and the char ter issued to any bank shall exist only for the period of twenty years. The bill provides that no bank, cor porate or private, shall be organized or allowed to transact a banking business in the state with a less capital than fifty thousand dollars, except that banks with a capital of not less than twenty thousand dollars may, with the ap- proval of the bank commissioner, be organized in any place the population of which does not exceed five thousand. No bank shall be organized in any city the population of wnich exceeds fifty thousand with a less ecapital than one huudred thousand dollars. At least fifty per cent of the capital stock of every bank shall be paid in before it is authorized to com- mence business, Banks are pro- hibited from purchasing or holding real estate, except such as shall be necessary for the immediate transaction of their business, or such as may be conveyed in satisfaction of debts, bought at sales under judgments, decrees or mortgages held by the bank, or pur- chased to secure debts due to it, and real estate obtained under these ex- ceptions shall not be held for a longer period than five years. Directors of banks are required to be citizens of the United States, who have resided for at least six months in the state. Some of these provisions can be ap- proved, but the bill is chiefly defective in mitting to provide for inspection oftencr than once a year. Banks should be subjected to at least two inspections an- nually. However, the measure pro- posed in Missouri is referred to simply for whatever suggestion it may contain, Tie Bek having already indicated the general and leading principles to be observed in giving Nebraska an entirely safe and sadisfactory bunking law. be AN EXTRA SESSION. The United States senate will remain in session after the 4th of March 1n order to confirm the cabinet appoint- ments of the president, and such others as the new administration may deem necessary to be made at once. This would requive the senate to remain in session only a brief time. The indica- tious are, however, that an extra ses- sion of the Pifty-first congress is inevit- ubl The 1nterviews of TiE BEE' Washington correspondent with repub- lican members of both houses show that they geuerally favor convening the next congress beforo the regular time if de- manded tariff and territoral legislation fails in the present congress, as now ap- pears more than probable. It is be- lieved, also, that General Iarrison is favorable to an extra session in the event of such a condition of affuirs as is now foreshadowed. The territories, and particularly Dakota, have no more carnest champion than the president- elect in their aspirations for statchood, If the democrats in the present con- gress persist, as it is apprehended they will, in demauding the admis- sion of New Mexico and rcfuse to grant stalchood to Dakota and Washington without his conces- sion, thereby defeating immediate leg- islation in this matter, it is not doubted that an extra session of the next con- gress will be called. The nextadmini tration will seek the liest oppor- tunity to do justice to the people of the territories which bave a clear and in- disputable claim to statehood. But a no less important consideration with the new administration will be that of velieving itsolf of the necessity of adding to the surplus from taxation. General Harrison is clearly understood to desire & reduction of the national revenue. He believes 1t to be unwise to pile up a surplus in the treasury far beyond uny probable future wants of the government. No one believes that a romedy for this will be provided by house tariff bill sdy. but it may not in the is that ‘v upon for a of the present congress, stitute for the doubtiess pass that t will | | | reccive considerati The ther new administration will its duties with no provision the fiscal The responsibility | not b with L administration, | to blame of affairs to cven house outlook fore the ent made needed change in ol the roment. for this will the ity of the but it wilt be if it permits such a state continue.

The cost would be conside able, hut it is reasonably to be expected that the benefits would largely balance it, while it is not apparent that the republican party could lose in popu- larity by giving the country needed fiscal legislation and doing justice to the people of the tevvitories. DIPLOMATIC REFORM. Mr. McAdoo, who represents a tof Now Jersey in congress, posed to this country maintaining a di- plomatie servic He the system absolutely unfitted to the char- acterof a free country, and regards it asa most absurd thing that the United States should send a minister to royal courts. The New Jersey statesman 1s not original in this view, but it is a sufficient answer to it to say that it finds no support in the opinions or practice of the wise men who founded this government. They sent ministe to roval courts, and when in the constitution they empow- ered the president to appoint ambassa- dors and other public ministers and con- suls they indicated their sense of the necessity of having such representa- tives. If necessary in their day the system is manifestly far more so now, when the United States has become a great commercial power, having more or less intimate relations with every country on the globe. There may be a popular scntiment in the district repre- sented by Mr. McAdoo favorable to the abolishment of the diplomatic service, but it does not exist among intelligent people elsewhere. Had the New tive contended dis- tri s op- considers Jersey representa- for a reform in this service he would have done something to win approval. There is certainly opportunity for im- proving the diplomatie service of the country and increasing 1ts usefulness. It has not been particularly honorable or advantageous to the country during the past four years. Perhaps at no other period was the government rep- resented at for courts by men who did so little to the credit of their coun- try, to advance 1ts interests, and to in- crease respect for American character, as the ministers appointed under the present administration, Mr, Phelps has been a willing toady to English nobil- ity and avistocracy, and has done all that his opportunities per- mitted to depreciate republican in- stitutions in the estimation of dnglishmen. Mr. McLean, the minis- ter to France, is simply a good natured old gentleman who has passed the years of usefulness in any eapacity—a mere figurehead who has spent most of his time abroad away from the post of duty. Mr. Pendleton, at Berlin, has shown some conception of the dignity and duties of a minister, but Lambert Tree, Bay’ W. Hanna, and several others proved to be lamentably out of place, while our humiliating experience with two men sent by the present ad- ministration to Mexico will not soon be forgotten. In tffe consular service the record is even worse, the character of that service having been saved from wreek by the experienced and faithful men who were retained. The next administration will have fow duties of greater importance than that of reforming the diplomatic and consular service of the country. Mr. Cleveland made some good suggestions on thissubject in his Jast message, but there are too many democrats in the present congress of the McAdoo class to allow them to be given attention, With a change in the administration the country may confidently expect such diplomatic reform as will restore this branch of the public service to the high standard of dignity and usefulness it onee oceupied, _—— IN SIGHT AT LA The lower house of the national legis- lature has at last taken decisive action with regard to the projected million dollar postoffice and custom house build- ing for Omaha.

This formal m will be performed at the capital of every in the union, and mauguration alone is in the programme of president-making. 8ny" Russell, who so smly disregarded the instructions of his constituents two years ago, is iere again whispering around in the lobbies He has the gall to ask the presi dential electors of the state to vote for him for messenger to Washington to carry the electoral vote, Judas Iscariot applying for a scat on the supreme benel would be the only fitting parallol, The exact situation seems to be this: Kussell and [ddings, th two electors from the Third congressional district, are for Russcll for messenger; Hast ings and McNeny, of the Sceond congres sional district, are for Hastings, This leaves Butler, of Cass county, the fifth of the electors, holding the ~balance of power, and to make the matter still moro complicated he is also a candidate. The gentleman from Cass has an_influentinl fol lowing, and it need surprise no one if he is elected messenger. Some of thoe leading politicians of the stite, how vor both Butler and Hastings, and_there is a_chance the honor muy be united in them, and 1 they will go to Washington togother to cast Nebraska's clectoral vote for Harrison and Morton. Russell will hardly get there INTERESTED MEDICAL SCI Two bilis have been introduced in the house that are of peculiur interest to the medical fraternity of the state, and they aro alrendy provoking considerable discussion, The stato board of health scems to be the bone of contention between the sehools, es- pecially the Alopathists and Homeopathists, the former having introduced a bitl provid* ing for the appomtment of two members from cach congressional district and_one at and the latter a bill that provides for representation, that is, three members of the Alopath’ school of practice, two of the Homcopath and two of the Lclectic, keeping in mind, however, a proper distribution of the membership of the board in the different congressional districts of tho state. The old school bill provides for the examination of every physician practicing in the state, regardless of graduation school, and cligibility to practice hinges upon the fiat of the board, which, if exclusive, would Pprobably result disastriously to the other schools. The bill of the new school provides that the graduates of every school of legal record, properly registered and having a di- ploma, with satisfactory evidence of a thor- ough knowledgre of therapeutics aud materia medica, shall be granted a certificate to practice medicize m any part of the state, properly signed by the president and secre: tary of the board of health, whereas the bill of the old school omits the requirements of evidence of knowledge in the branches of practice stated. The new school bill fur- ther demands that after the college sessions of ') to ", no_diplomas will be accepted from colleges that do not demand a graded course of three years, of not less than six months of cach vear, It would scem from the nature of the that iomeopathists do not intend to be cluded from their rights as practitioners, and that they propose to make a fight for recog- nition in'all matters that promise infringe- ment upon their professional rights. IDLE IMAGINATION. Governor Thayer wiil occupy the exceu- tive oftice at the state house for the next two years, life, health and strength — permitting. The Lincolu representative of an Omaha paper permitted his imagination to run away with him in to-day’s ~orrespondence. T governor has no notion whatever of stepping down and out. He, nor his friends, havo never intimated that his resignution was banging in the balance, and the rumor has 1ts origin m the fertile imagination of a re- porter. It 1s well, however, to state that the sensational item was not believed by thoughtful people in Lincoln, and the only object in noticing the ridiculous story is to set at rest impressions that may be formed throughout the statc. The governor is in r health. He has the general confidence of his constituency, and bids fair to live to enjoy another term as chief exe- cutive of the greatest of the western states. The man who wrote the canard did soto keep the stolen message chesnut whirling, which bas been worn threadbare in_divers ways. he imagination of the knigit of the quill,” sug- gested o gentleman of intelligence to-day, Salways amuses and entertains when em- ployed in weaving a sensible story, but it breeds contempt when used without regard to truth, aud too much of it in any way re: acts upon the author. 1 think it is time let up on the foolish thrusts at the governor, for the public is heartily tired of the silly vaporings and twaddle.” MANDERSON'S DAY The sentiment of the house and senate will be taken for United States senator on 'l day, at hizh noon, aud on the day following, at’ the sume hour, a_joint session will be called to announce the sense exp sepurate bodics, and if ne the election of Manderson's suc he will succeed himself, however, noone cntertains any doubt whafever, The assur ance has already gons to him that the usual attendmg caucus will not be held, and that he will be re-ciected on the firsy ballot. 1ut, while this is so, the formal pro- ceeding will not be without interest, and the usual throng will tlock to the scene, While everything promises to be as calm as a summer’s morning, the old-time habit of at- tending senatorial contests will assert itself, The fact thata United States senator is to be made will prove an attraction suflicient to delegation of visitors is e from all parts of the state.

Ie said example of Isndore Rayner, of Ma nd, is a not- able one. The latter championed the cause of the people, introduce bill that was presented in congress against trusts, fought the monopoly of the Reading Railrond company and tho Western Union Telegraph company, and was recognized in the house as tho unflinching opponent of the moneyed rings that are depredating upon the people. His district sends a republican in his place. In Miunesota Judge Thomas Wilson, one of tho ablest men in congress, and Judge John L. Mac- Donald, of the same state, re- cognized anti-monopolists, have both been defeated, In Michi- gan, Melbourne . Ford, Timothy I Tarsney and Spencer 0. Fishor, ail of them oatspoken opponents of western railvoad rings, have been laid on the sliclf. In Towa, General Weaver and Robert A. Anderson, who have fought monopoly at eve D oin voss, have sharved the samo fate. The rail- roads made an open fight against them and succeeded in accomplishing their defeat. In New Huampshire, Parson McKinney was beaten by the same in- fluence. In Missou John J. O'Neill and Martin Clardy wore defeated in strong democeratic districts. In Con- necticut, Robert Vance was the vietim of large manufacturing monopolios in his district. In Massachusotts, John has his by almost combinations corporate con E. Russell, who so ably fought tariff monopoly, does moi come back. In Californin, Thomas T. Thompson was beaten by the wine and fruit trusts of California, and in Wisconsin, Henr, Smith, who defended the homestead settlers’ bill againstthe Pacifie railroad vings, has been beaten: and so on pr well throughout the list. This,” sa he, “isnot a very edifying spectacle, but it is safe tosay that those mon, judging from the catiber and determi nation that has distinguished them in present congress, will not permit a tem- porary reverse lo discourage them in the gr and laudable work they have undertaken, but on the contrary, they will probably be heard of again in -the very mnear future.
