He might be employed by the Jeflerson squaroe people, so that the rotten pave- ment orator could get needed rest. SENATOR HOAR, of Massachusetts, is authority for the statement that the existonce of mortgages on farms is a sign of life ana health. That ought to settle the mortgage question in the minds of eastern investors. THERE is a little voice whispering to certain long ley ive ears. It does not say “Come home.” But it does say *Go home.” There is a delicate dis- tinction between these two mandates, notwithstanding their similar effects. A DEAD and eccentric gentleman was cremated at St. Louis yesterday. Most poople want the carth to rest in after life’s fitful fever, or other fatal ailment, Those who prefer being reduced to #shes have o right to their choice, and 4f they will provide for having them- elves sprinkled on the icy pavement, the public will even commend them. T board of trade is taking on new life und vigor. The time has come when united and encrgetio action on the purt of the members is necessary. There are enterprises, both public and private, which await the support of the board, and all that is necessury to re- vive interest in the city’s welfare is the determination of each member to do his duty. THe “‘pure food bill” in which the farmers of the country ure more or less interested, will not be considered by congress, although it was favorably re- ported to the house at the last session. The sickness of Congressman Laird who was interested in the measure, is the reason assigned, and in all proba- bility legislation upon the subject will be deferred until the next session. It may be interesting as well as profit- able for the good people of Nebraska to learn that the people of Rhode Island who a few months ago voted prohibition mto their state constitution, are agi- tating w movement to repeal it. It is the old story so well illustrated in Towa. Prohibition has proved ineffective and a detriment to Rhode Island, and the state is heartily sick of its experiment. Trr iron-clad railrond agreement which was drawn up with so much care at the recent conference of railvoad represontatives and bankers, still awaits the signatures of the parties who have verbally agreed to adopt it. Since the conference the railway presidents have been submitting changes here and there, and the possibilities are that be- fore the work of revision is ovew, the original agreament will hardly know itself. While the authors of the scheme oxpross themselves as highly pleased with the project and appear to have no lack of confidence in its success, it is significant that they are chary about committing themselves by signing the agreuvment, So long as their promises to observe the rules are merely by word of mouth, they are no more nor less than 5o much straw.. And there are rallroad managers whose interests can best bo served by putting off the adop- tion of the agreement to the last mo- ment, and then turnivg their back upon it entirely, THE OMAHA DAILY B JANUARY 21, 1839 DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT? « The pressure which is being exerted upob the legislature to submit & pro- hibitory amendment to the people of Nebraska whether vory properly rests the inqairy prohibition can be made to prohibit small where public sentiment upholds ement. excepting in towns its enfc Before plunged the people in this state are the mpaign it is incumbent upon our themselves the into vortex of a prohibi- tion o law-makers to acquaint through reliable sources with actual operation of prohibition in the states of Jowa and Kansas, and the ef- campnigns have of feet which prohibitor had upon the general prosperity Lareabee’s speech at the of Thayer gested to us the propriety of making Governor Governor inaugural sug- an inquiry into the exact state of facts rel- ative to the alleged suppression of the With this ena in reliable stalf re- for spocial s the leading towns and cities of that state, liguor traffic in Tows. view, two of the most porters detailed vice in Towa and directed to visit including such localities as claimed to have with the liquor traffic, and report only what they absolutely done away could personally vouch fer. first the of reports from Towa is published in this issuc of Titk Bik, and rusul is invited to the facts presented.

BARRED OUT OF THE CABINET. It is stated that General Harrison will not invite any republican sonator to a place in his cabinet. His understood reason is that he does not wish to wealken his party in the senate by with- drawing any of its experienced leaders from the legislative arena. He is said to regard the course of Mr. Cleveland in taking three senatorsinto his cahinet as a mistake that has embarrassed his administration throughout, for the reason that the successors to the: senators were not as well qualified to defend the policy of the administration and the party. Fortunately, General Harrison will not be under the constraint that Mr. Cieve land was, 10 go to the senate for cabinet advisors. There are plenty of entirely capable republicans outside of congress, who have the respect and confidence of the party, from whom to choose the seven—or possibly eight—members of the cabinet. Besides, there wasa strong sectional influence brought to bear upon Mr. Cleve land which he was quite willing to serve. But there may be another rea- son why no republican senmator will enter the cabinet, and that is that none of them cares to exchange a seat in the senate fora place in the pre dent’s official houschold, This is said tobe true of Sherman, Allison and Spooner, who have been most promi- nently talked of for eabinet honors. The former has had an experience at the head of an ative department and knows it to be a position of continuous and arduous labor. Whatappears to be the general feeling among senators wi recertly expressed by one of them when he said there is no comparison between the comfort, convenience and dignity of a senator’s place and that of a cabinet minister. A senator is the chosen representative of his state fora d term and s only his public obli- gations to consider, He is his own mas- tor, having no chief to satisfy nor asso- ciate to conciliate. The greatest cabi- net minister is a sort of higher clerk. His business is to carry out the polic of the president under the eyes of con- ss, IPailure brings humiliation often without any fault of his own. He is anybody's target and is exposed to a thousand perils and annoyance: He is the servant of many waiters, and his tenure ‘depends upon the will of the prosident, who may at any time demand his resigna- tion. Then the difference in theamount of labor requived is largely to the ad- vantage of the senatorvial position. As to relative honors, a position of leade ship 1n the senate is certainly not i ferior to the highest places in the eabi- net. The understood reluctance of senators to accept a cabinet portfolio may also be due in a measure to the exporience of those who, during the past twelvo years, resigned seats in the seunate for posi- tions in the cabinet, Of the seven sen- ators who mude the exchange since 1876 John Sherman is the only one who was able to renew his former politieal status, and his return to the senate was brought about by esceptional circumstances. When Garfleld was nominated for the presidency he was a sonator-elect. His resignation gave Sherman the opportunity to step from the treasury back into the senate, Gar- fleld took three members of his eabinet from the senate, and butoue of them returned to publio life, Windom hav- iug been chosen to fill the vacancy in the senate caused by his own resigna- tion, two years of the term remaining. Of the senators In Cléveland’s cabinet Lamar has fared well in being trans- lated to the supreme hench, while Bay ard and Garland are assured an e tended term of private life, with the probabilities against either of them e returning to the senate. If itbe true that General Harrison has concluded not to go to the senate for any of his cabinet officials, it is more than probable he has learned that the leading republicans in that body are entirely willing to be ignored. Doubt- less any of them would readily surren- der his personal wishes to the good of the party, but there is no present or probable exigency demanding this, and there is abundance of excellent material outside ot the senate from which to con- struct a strong and able cabinet. THE NATIONAL SENATE If the icans are allowed to elect a United States senator in West Virginin, the vepublican mujority in the nutional senate after the 4th of March wiil be four, the election of a re- publican senator in Delaware offsetting the los: Virginia. [nasmuch as the present majority of two has en- abled the republicans in the senate to carry through all party measures, a ma- jority of four can bo regarded as en- tirely safe, both the house and tho ad- ministration being republican. The harmony that has prevailed among the republicans of the senate throughout the present administration will doubt- lessnot be disturbed during the in- cumbeney of General Harrison. It would be gratifying if the changes that will take place in the porsonnel of the senate would in every case bring improvement in the character of that body, in respect of its relations to the people, This, however, is not prom- ised. The election of 1. O. Wolcott in will repluce a friend of the corporations by one who may fairly be expected to be far more faithful and active in his friendship. Monopoty he always known where to place Mr. Bowen, but that gentleman has not at all times been particularly zealous in its inter One of the princival arguments of his opponents was that much of the time he was absent from his post, and that his senatorial duties were neglected. The powers to which Wolcott largely owes his success de- sired & man who could he relied upou to be where he could be found when wanted for an emergency, and they had nim in the eloquent attorney who has thfully served them in every contest with the people. In the United States senate his ambition will be to justify their confidence, and whatever vigilance and energy can ac- complish in their behalf Mr, Wolcott will endeavor to achieve. It cannot be supposed that he will do anything to bring the senate neaver to the people. The election of Mr. Me- Millan to succeed Senator Palmer, of Michigan, is also without promise of any advantage to the people. He is a man of great wealth, whose interests and sympathies are with policies ho tile to the interests of the masses, Having amassed a fortune under condi- tions from which the people demand to be relieved, he will naturally desire to maintain those conditions, although they are the safeguards and bulwarks of monopoly. If not the creature of corporatians, as is the senator-elect of Colorado, he will almost certainly not be found unfriendly to them. There are others amendable toa like judg- ment. The people must continue to look olsewhere than to the senate of the United States for the promotion and protection of their interests. That body remains the citadel where wealth and power intrench themselves, and it is likely to continue 5o as long as there is no direct responsibility of senators to the people. repub f one in sts. AN INNOV ATION. The seven justices of the supreme court of Pennsylvania have donned robes, and the newspapers of that city say the effect is very fine. The only other courts in this country where robes are now worn ave the supreme court of the United States and the court of ‘ap- peals of New York state. It has recently been suggested by the New York Bar association that in order to bring about greater decorum in the courts and in the administration of justice, the judges should be robed, the officers uniformed, and the bar clad, if uwot in gowns, at least in appropriate black. The evil which it is thought might be remedied by the suits and trappings of official station is cer- tainly a considerable one. The bar sociation of New York is not alone in observing that ever; ar less and less respect is shown to those who administer the law, even criminals often manifest- inga contemptfor the courts and address- ing them in opprobrious terms. The reason for this is to be found in the con- duct of many judges and lawyers, who themselves do not observe the dignity and decorum which should mark their ions to each other and to the publie, When judges permitlevity torule in their courts and allow law- yers the widest latitude in offending against propriety, the effect is to bring the administration of the law into re- proach, and it is not surprising that the publie learns to feel a measure 6f con- tempt for courts. Steadily the serious- and solemnity which formerly acterized judicial proceedings have departed, and the antics that are some- times played in court by judges and lawyers cannot but make the judicious grieve. There is another thing that is als0 1 no small degree responsible for the growing disrespect of courts and that is the fact that too often wealth and power exert an undue Infivence in the high places of justice. Unfortunateiy there are too many reasons for believing that courts are accessible to corrupting agencies, and that justice is many times defeated when the interests of wealth require it to be done. The charge that the humble and poor cannot get their rights at law is not wholly without war- rant. It is not probable that these evils would be remedied by simply robing judges and requiring court officials to be uniformed and lawyers to dress in 3 black suite. “Mon who eannot command respect and - decoram by their demeanor arg got likely to attain it by gewgaws :i. decorations. When judges and lgwyers themselves respect the ndmin!s&l jon of the law, they will compel, as we l!ne deserve, the respoct of the poople, fStill there is no ob- jection to tBp; suggestion of the New York Bar association, and pechaps they are right mrm:mnq that the innova- tion they prdpde would at least tend to create more san¥e of dignity and more regard for degorum than are now com- mon in the cnrnts of tho iand. The ne cessity for rofdvm in this respoct is cer. tainly great, and if robes and uniforms will ielp to accomplish it, they should be brought into general service. Tie growth dha building ¢ prominence of in Nebraska within the past fow yenrs suggoests the necessity of some sort of state vision over the operations of these so- cieties. Building associntibns have to al measure taken the place of savings banks in the community. They are entrusted with large sums of money. They keep the savings of people of moderate circnmst and there is opportunity for the officers, if so in- clined, to commit s, Asa rule building associntions have been well managed, in this state at least, and to alarge class of people they have been of great advantage and benefit. As a precautionary mensure, however, it would be well if the present session of the legislature would pass suitablo laws to protect the interests of mem- bers from the possibilities and temptations of fraud on the part of the directors and = oflicors. Not only should building societies file their articles of incorporation with the auditor of the state, but the affairs of such associations should come under the jurisdiction of the state auditor and his bank examiner Sueh precautions would inflict no burden on these agen- cies, nov interfere with their practi operations. They would on the con- trary strengthen the confidence of the people in building associations and lessen the opportunity for mismanage- ment. ssocintions super- nees, gross fro WiiLe the legislatures of other states are showing an apparently ear- nest and honest desire to cuact legisla- tion for the correction of railroad abuses, the outlook for the people of Nebraska obtaining any relief is not particularly flattering. Nothing diffor- ent was to have been expocted when Church Howe became president of the senate and Ohnstead was made chair- man of the house committee on rail- ronds. Lincoln advices say that the producers and -shippers of Nebraska have nothing to expect from the rail- road committee Jof the house, which is completely ddminated by its tricky and reckless chairman. There are mem- bers of that committee of whom better conduct was expected than a complets surrender to this abject corporation tool, but it would seem that in forming the committee the friends of the rail- roads made no- mistake. Whether or not such is the case will appear later on, but it is timely to apprise the com- mittee colleagues of Olmstead that thoy will be held to a full accountability be- fore the people. GOVERNOR WEST, of Utah, is strenu- ously opposed to the admission of Utah, nd his plea before the committee on srritories at Washipgton a day or two ago will go far in influencing the com- mittee in making its report to the house. The governor voices the fears of the gentile population of Utah. thay if the power of statehood he granted to Utah all non-Mormon resideunts would be forced to leave the territory. The prospects, therefore, for the admission of Utah would seem to be remote, so long as the church, orat least polygamy, is dominant in the territory. The Effectual Penalry. Philadelphia. American.
