The ord expresses the opinion that the pro- posed legislation would violute in letter and spivit the constitutional right of congress to regulate commerc mong the states, and advises members of the legislature *who value their reputation for honesty as well as com:non hold this eattle inspection scheme and its lob! t arm’s length,” The New York Zimes, this movement, the great busi- n of distributing dressed beef in the ecast from the slaughter houses of the west rannot be b en down, and this ought to be vious to the cattle-yard monopolists of the east and all who are united with them in the effort to break it down. Populur sentiment in the cast would not tolerate legislation the effeet of which g regard dise: from while side sense to reforring to s0yS 1 ob- 1t ations to public in- stitutions are commendable, but not a dollar should be voted where it is not absolutely needed. EveEry other bill so far introduced in the legislature is in the intercst of tax eate but very few measures have yet been proposed for the relief of the tax- payers. S1. PAUL, Minn., has been compelled to abandon its ice palace carniyal. The people were ready with their plans an funds, but King Boreas refused to furn- ish the ice. Tue exhibit of the Omaha clearing- Touse for the week ending Januavy 12 cannot fail of attracting attention. The clearings surpass those of Minneapolis for the corresponding time, although the latter city claims to be twice the size of Omaha. DELEGAT ri, of New Mexico, urges on congress the necessity of ad- mitting that territory on the strength of her large number of sheep. Unfor- tunately, however, sheep don’t vote, despite the fact that they figure most prowinently in vhe tariff bill before con- gross. JupaGe COOLEY, of the inter-state rail- roud commission, sees in the action of of the railrond presidents the most hopeful sign he has yet observed of a disposition to carry out the spirit of the inter-state law. Appearances are often deceptive and Judge Cooley would do well to keep his weather-eye open. Tur members of the Minncsota leg- islature from Hennepin and Ramsey counties returned with thanks the rail- road passes given to them by the differ- ent companies. 1f any member of our legislature has returned his railroad complimentary Tie BEE will print his name on the roll of honor and recom- mend him for promotion at the next election. Tie report that Charles Francis Adams contemplated resigning the presidency of the Union Puacific to be- come chairman of the Interstate Ruil- way association, now appears to have been without foundation, as we sug- gested at the time was probable. Mr. Adams would hardly give up a secure position for one of uncertain tenure, which could hardly offer greater finan- cial inducements, and would certainly not be less laborious. He would be the vight man in the right place, but ob- viously the personal sacrifice would be greater than he could reasonably be ex- pected to make. DURING several years pust the state treasury has carvied a surplus all the way from half a million toa million aud a quarter. The accumulation of hundreds of thousands of dollars in the vaults of the banks with which the state treasurer makes his deposits, will searcely meet with approval by a population composed for the most part of farmers, mechanics and laborers who are burdened down with private debt and heavy local taxes. The present legislature should not adjourn before it has made suitable provision for reliev- ing the state treasury of a large purt of its surplus. Tue aggregate mineral product of Colorado and Wyoming for the year just closed has been greater than that of uny other year, This is eertainly a most encouraging record. The proba- bilitios are that the output for the cur- rent year will exceed that of 1888, This is lurgely due to the great improve- ments continually made in the mo- chanical and chemical process by which mining operations and the reduction of ores are being cheapened, Eloctricity has come 1nto play most prominently in “the extraction and conversion of min- orals, and by it many serious obsta- cles heretofore encountered have been easily overcome. Its application will no doubt be extended, and the old and slow methods of mining will give way before this wonderful and subtle agent, “but there 1s little 1i would be to materially enhance the price of meat to consumers, nor are the people willing, as the Times observes, to substitute for the present system the old methods of shipping Live cattie across the continent. There isa simple way to protect the easter sumers of wostern d d meat ag: tne risk of buying descased meat, and that is to provide that all dressed meat shall be carcfully inspected. This would give consumers the advantage of a double inspection, but the movers rainst western dressed beef do not it this, What they want is a mo- nopoly of the Penusylvania market, so that they may be able to demand prices that would greatly augment their profits. Itisnot improbable that this move- ment may spread heyond Pennsylvan kelihood that it ¢ The slaughtere west, however, will ruard in sending to anywhere succeed and shippers of the find their best saf, the mark will bear the most castern weful inspection. THE RATLROAD ASSOCLATION. The formation of an association of railroad presidents and managers, with the avowed purpose of regarding the requirements of the inter-state com- merce law. is an admission that the law has not heretofore been properiy ob- served. To this extent, at least, the re- sult of the recent conference of railway officials and bankers in New York can be commended. The promise of reform contained in the resolution, unam- mously adopted, declaring that the meeting was heartily in favor of the strict enforcement of the inter-state commerce act, will be universally welcomed, whatever misgivings there may be re- gavding the probubility of the promise being faithfully kept. In any eventthe inter-state commerce act doubtless will be strictly enforced, for there is now stronger reasons than ever, in the e pressions of the railway ofllcials, for en 1z it. Butth going to be a ter very simple and eusy of accom- hment, without strain or friction where, if the presidents and man- agers of railroads will but carry out the policy and maintain the relations which the plan of the proposed association pro- vides for. That there should be some doubt about their doing this, for any very prolonged period, is natural from past experience. The movement, however, is so im- portant as to merit all the consideration itis receiving. It is of the greatest significance that tho managers of rail- roads have at last reached the conclu- sion that it is their duty and their in- terest to conform to the law. Had they possessed the wisdom to see this at the outset, nobody will question that i- road properti in the country would now be much more valuable thran they are It has taken a long and severe lesson to teach railroad munagers thay they are not stronger than the public, and that railroad management, equally with all other departments of busines: can only be safely and profitably carricd on in obedience to law. While the inter-state commerce act was best ob- served and least complained of, as was said by Judge Cooley, the railroads found th business most satisfactory and profitable. It was only when the, resorted to devices hostile to the intent, if not to the letter of the act, that they began to suffer loss. A return to obe euce and submission will bring a re- covery of benefits. The plan of the simple and the gent. It binds the railroad presidents to personally carry out the conditious, and to dismiss subordinates who violate instructions based upon the agreement. It proposes to do away with abuses that arve showy to be se: rious evils, such as the payment of commissions and the fostering of scal- pers. It provides for the maintenanco of reasonable rates, to be determined by the chief officers of the roads, and rate cutting is to be averted by submit- ting differences between companies to the arbitration of a board of mana- association is provisions strin- | vlan has been care of in im- he ully drawn so as not in any respect to antagonize the inter- state law, and has received the approval of the commissioners. Judge Cooley has said in r to it that he and his colleag that rail- nd affai assuming & much mo hopeful shape than they have borne for along time, and Senator Cullom pressed the opinion that if the proposed associntion can break up the vicious and et it will do a purpose to do this ap- sincere, and it is at least 1 tht it will be completely suc- chief features if carried out fail to gers.

Honest Jim will place on exhihi- tion a scction of the gibbet which was erected in the center of the square at Wahoo ahout 18 , with a placard that any man who dared to vote against the Republican Vailey raiiroad bonds would take his chances of being strangled to death on that gibbet by the railrond contractor’s mob, which was then tervorizing that county, with Honest Jim at their head. Honest Jim will also donate to the museum for future generations a full section of the rotten Upper Farnam street pavement, with a bill of the cost and the extras attached. Th will also beon exhibition at the city hall museum a section of the Lin- coln wooden pavement, floating gently on top of the mud after aspring thaw. The art gallery will of course contain a number of historic paintings taken from life by the greatest masters of art of our times. Among these we expect to see a paint- ink of the old court house on the coraer of Sixteenth and rnam, and Honest Jim leading a howling mob armed with brickbats and bludgeons threatening the lives of the negroes who had just heen given the right of suffrage, in ease they dared to present themselves at the ballot box. There wiil of course be a great his- toric painting representing the ‘a- mous Omaha Holley j , armed to the teeth they were in session about the time that Dick MeCormiclk had the gas turned off. There will be other striking b paintings procured regardless of e pense by a committee of great art ad- mirers, of which Pat Iord will be the chairman. The museuni and art gallery features on which Honest Jim lays such great stress, ought to decide the voters in favor of Jefferson square. There is not room enough on upper Farnam for any such :wsthetic display of the highest culture. genera- have no trouble in fill- one-le or or oric AN important recommendation in the second annual report of the inter-state commerce commission relates to extend- ing the act to carricrs by water routes. ‘When the bill was under discussion in the two houses this proposition received pretty thorough consideration, and the view prevailed ithat the waterways should be free from the control of the act, as the competition wlmh they create makes them an eff e checlk upon any combinations for increased railroad rates. Now the commission recommend that the carriers engaged independently in inter-state traffic upon navigable waters be put, in re- spect to making, publishing and maintaining rates, upon the same footing with inter-state carriers by rail. The commissioners are of opinion that these carriers will be benefitted rather than harmed thereby, and that the ex- cuse now made by carricrs by rail for great disparities in the tes for ad- joining dist as between points which are and points waich are not af- fected by water competition, would thereby, toa large extent, be taken away. The recommendation merits serious consideration, as do several others less radi in character con- tained in the report, but it is not pected that any changes in the inter- state commerce act will be made by the present congress, How DI those hundred and twent, five thousand dollars, more or less, which are said to be lying idle to the credit of the Lincoln insane hospital, get into that fund, and why should this nmoney be transferred to the general fund? If this money was collected in excess of appropriations and state levies it should either be refunded to the re- spective counties from which it was drawn or it should remain at the dis- posal of the Lincoln insane hospital during the next two years with proper safeguards against expending any part of it execept in pay- ment of officers, employes and materials required for the maintenance of that institution. [If the latter course is pursued no appropriation or levy will be necessary for the Lincoln asylum for 1880 and 1590, and with cconomic man- agement there will be a few supplies in the fund two years hence. The trans- for to the general fund is a dangerous and bad precedent., The monay has been raised for a spocific purpose, and a trausfer to the general fund is liable to lead to the payment of this money for the redemption of dubious claims and warrants that should never have been issued on the general fund. A PROFESSIONAL workingman who has scancely lived in Omaha long enough to be a voter, has taken it upon himself to present disinterested advice to prop- erty owners and tax-payers as to the eity hall location, through the columus of the Herald.
