It may become necessary for Mr. Cleveland as well as for Mr. Harvison 10 construct a cabinot bofore the 4th of March if rumor speaks the truth. Now that their high-handed lawless- ness has been exposod, the literary burcau of the Jefferson squarc boomers are mauiling out a fow of their illus- trated pamphlets with stamped wrap- pers. AND now the Electric Motor company forward with a proposition to its iron poles up the center of streets between the double line of tracks. Why not ask the council to vacate the streets entirely for the ben- efit of the motor lines? Tue United States senate is deeply absorbed over the proposition whether to substitute the term ‘“‘ambassador™ for that of “‘minister” in denominating our representatives abroad to the lead- ing European courts. The difference between tweedledum and tweedledec may after all eause an extra session. THE government won a legal victory over the California timber thieves who out timber to the value of two million dollars from government lands. But as the jury returned a verdict for only forty thousand dollars, it looks as if California jurymen know on which side of their bread the sugar was spread. — DENVER has made an appeal to the ity authortties to locate four or five parks near the densely populated part of the ocity, which should be within reach of persons who have not the means to take their families to places of recreation in the suburbs. The people of Denver, 1t is safe to say, would pro- tost as one man if that city possessed a breathing place, and its usurpation was attompted for other purposes by design- ing individuals,as is the case in Omaha. Tur Nebraska legislature does not stand alone 1n its attempt to regulate the price of sleeping car accommoda- tions. The legislature of Wisconsin has been stivred up to similar action. But it is one thing to introduce such measures and it is another thing to en- force them. ‘The traveling punli however, upprociates any action which would result in cutting down the Pull- man dividends now quoted among the Dbest paying stock in the market. Tue people of the state will await with considerable interest the investi- gation of the “committee of favmers” of the legistature,appointed to look into the management of the experimental farm. The board of regents claims that ‘‘the diffusion of knowledge has been per- formed with greater vigor and efficiency by the agricultural college than ever before, and thatoriginal rosearch at the experimental station has been prose- cuted with earnestness and success. Broad statoments' these, The legisla- ture, however, thinks differently, and wsll proceed with the investigation, Tre conference committee which has _had the proposed ameudments to the nter-state commerce law under consid- ‘eration is not likely to recommend any radical changes to congress. It has _evidently cotho under the influence of ‘Chairman Cooley, of the inter-state gommission, who has repeatedly de- «elaved that it would be unreasonable .and impracticable to establish an arbi- “Arary uniform freight classitication and tarifl for the country. While this may look as a concession to the railroads, At must be confcssed that it is not witkin the power of any two or a dozen men to establish such a classification and rate for the whole country as would be equitable to the people and the rai ‘woads. Itis the business of the rail- roads, by their voluntary efforts, to Jdring about an understanding of this wature as rapidly as the circumstances domand it. SHERMAN STATES NHIS POSITIC 1f Senator Sherman is not going into the eabinet of Genoral Ha: On A8 sec- retary of state, his anxiety to publicl state his position on the Samoan 80 that it might be made a matter of is hard to understand. The senate discussed this matter on Tuesday in executive and when the doors were reopened Senator Sherman oxplained at length his views of the situation and of the duty of the govern- issue, record, session, ment. It was & most unusual procecd- ing, notwithstauding the fact that the senator had sought to have the question publicly discussed, and naturally suggests the query as to why the Ohio senator should alone show such unwonted solicitude to have his vi given publicity if he have nothing more to do with the tlement of this controversy than other senators. Tt has not been his habit to is to set- thus conspicuously thrust himself upon public attention, and this is the first occasion in his atorial ¢ when he found o any sub, statement of his attitude on t, made in exceutive session, unsatisfactory to him. It was certainly a very suggestive proceeding. In the exceptional circumstances the views of Senator herman are of pecul interest. He did not necessary for think it the United States to menace any one, but simply to pursue a straight-forward and manly course. Our first duty is to assert and maintain our right to a coal- ing station, and he did not believe our right to do this would be questioned. Our next duty would be to employ our good offices to settle the difliculties of the people of Samoa, as we are under promise to do. He was in favor of a firm assertion of the rights of the United States, but he did not believe that to do this would necessitate war. He characterized the difficulty as a ‘‘small controversy,” the solution of which ought to be promptiy reached. The senator declared that it would be “a shame and a disgrace to our civiliza- tion and christianity if we could not agree upon some mode of government for those islands.” The speech showed not that only that Senator Sherman had fully informed himself regarding the entive history of the Samoan questi but that he tookan extraordinary est in it, The circumstance is certainly most suggestive, and a reasonable ex- planation of it is. that Mr. Sherman ex- pects to have more todo with the settle- ment of the Samoan issue than falls to the duties of a senator. DEFERRING CONIFIRMATIONS. is said there are now about four 1 nominations awaiting action by the Uuited States senate. It is also said that there is an informal agree- ment between the republican senators as to the course thoy will pursue in re- gavd to nominations now pending, and which may be made between now and the 4th of March. Nominations to fill vacancies caused by death or expiration of commissions will be confirmed, if there is not a very strong fight again st the appointees, but in the case of offi- cials whose terms will have expired after Havrison’s inauguration, and whose resignations this time there is reason to presume were tendered so as to enable their successors to serve a full term, the nominations will not be confirme One result of a caucus of the democratic senators on Tue day is understood tohave beenan agree- ment to compel the republicans to de- fine their position on this matter and state whether or uot they intended to confirm President Cleveland’s appoin- tees. There does not appear to be any sound reason why the republican major- 1ty in the senate should prevent the out- going president from freely foist- ing his political friends wupon the public service in the last days of his administration, and a re- fusal to do so cannot justly be regarded as an unfair exhibition of partisanism. Tn cases where to allow vacancies to continue would impair the efficiency of the service the senate would certainly not be justified in withholding confirm- ation, but in all others the justice and expediency of leaving the places to be fillod by the next administration cau- not be fairly questioned. It is not doubted that were the majority in the scnate to show a willingness to act promptly and favorably upon nomina- tions the number would rapidly in- crense. It is a very simplo mattor to create vacancies in the public sorvice, and thore is still a considerable number of repub- licans occupying positions whose ssignations’ could be secured if the administration was assured of being able to put democrats in their places, The republican senators are not blame- worthy if they refuse to encournge any- The party that was successful in the national election, and which will have the responsibility of administering the government for four years, has an undoubted right to hold such offices as without detriment to the public service it may hold to be he; after filled by men in sympathy with its policy and purposes. This is simply political prudence, and the republican senators will have the approval of their varty in observing it. A WORD TO WORKINGMEN. Workingmen who are interested in gotting steady employment during the coming business season should not allow themselves to be duped into voting for the Jefferson square proposition nexy Tuesday. In the first place there is no prospect that Jim Creighton, Tom Swift, Joe Redman, or any of the par- ties who own lots adjacent to the square will erect any buildings worth speaking of or looking ut. They will probably hold their lots for speculation, as they have done heretofore. And there is no pros- pect that parties would erect any great and costly building within three blocks of the Upion Pacific shops, and within two blooks of the lumber yards. But the chances are ten to one that the attempt to change the location of the city hall from Farnam will be fol- lowed by law suits and injunctions that will prevent the erection of any city hall for five years to come. The ablest lawyers in Omaha agrec that Jefferson square cannot be used for o pablic buildiag because it was dedi- THE eated to the public for a park and has been used for a park moro than twenty years. On the other han if the at- tempt to relocate the city hall is voted down work on the building will be begun within ninety days, and when that work has be- gun halt a dozen groat blocks will be commenced in that neighbor- hood on Harney. Douglas and Farnam stroots in the coming spring. It is notorious that castern capitalists and Omaha, who had their constructing large and costly blocks of buildings in the neighborhood of the court house last year were discouraged by the fight in the council over the city hall, and abandoned their enterprises altogether, thus depriving hundreds of working men of steady employment all this winter. The projected million dollar hotel was fairly under way last spring, sixty-five thousand dollars of a had already been subscribed, when the fight on the city hali knocked the project in the head, because eastern apitalists were not disposed to visk sev- eral hundred thousand dollars so long as there was any uncertainty about the public buildings which are to form the center of the Omaha of the future. These are stubborn facts which work- ingmen should pondec over. LAME EXPLANATIONS. When public attention was called to the mailing out of thousands of un- stamped and unaddressod Jefferson square pamphlets from the Omahn postoflice, and the delivery of other thousands by postal carriers in defiance of law, wo were told through Mr. Furay that ten dollars had been paid to the postmuster for this service, Now the acting postmaster, Mr. James Creigh- ton, tells us that they haye paid one hundred and ten dollars for this service in lump. Taking Mr. Creighton’s word for it, the question this money paid before or after the exposure of the fraud. If it was paid before the pamphlets were mailed, what law can Postmaster Creighton cite that would authorize the mailing out of pamphlets in the lump and the delivery of unaddressed pamphlots through post- office boxes and letter carriers? We were told, of course, by the superin- tendent of the carvier delivery that consent was secured to deliver these pamphlets to particular porsons by the ders. Who were the senders, and how did the superintendent discover that the pamphlets were. being ad- dressed to the wrong parties when there were no names written on the pamph- lots or wrappers? Could any merchant or business man have pamphlets dis- tributed by lettor carricrs by simply leaving several hundred names on aslip? Hasany business man or firm ever been allowed to pay postage in the lump on advertising circulars or pamphlets ? Have any such pamphlets ever been distributed promiscuously in the lock- boxes of the postoffice ? Is not the whole transaction on its face a breach of the United States postal laws and a violation of the regu- lations that govern the mail service ? The explanation of Postmaster Creigh- ton is a dead give-away, and only shows to what measures the men who are raiding the property owners of Farnam street will resort to gain their object. citizens of plans all made for and bonus THE very plain talk recently of the chairman of the inter-state commerce commission regarding the railroad pres- idents does not appear to have had the wholesome effect upon those officials generally that might have been hoped for. Some of them continue to act like ‘“a pack of school boys” in their' obsti- nacy and unwillingness to agree to an thing, while others manifest a distrust of each other and a want-of faith to set- tle the difficulties of the existing situa- tion which do not tend to increase pub- lic confidence in them. If the agreement now sought to be ef- fected shall finally be consu- mated, of which there is some uncer- tainty, there is not much reason to ex pect that it will have a prolonged e: tence. Itis apparent that some of those who have already acquiesced in the arrangement are not heartily in favor of it. They are disposed to try the experiment, but the moment they should find that it did not operate ad- vantageously to their interests the would not hesitate to break it. Mean- time some good is being done. Rail- roud stockholders are being aroused to inquiry which can hardly fail to lead to action, and the national commission is being urged by circumstances to a sterner performance of its duty i en- forcing the law. There is favorable promise that this fact will be forcibly impressed upon railroad managers within a short time if they shall fail to agree among themselves to respect the law and abandon practices which con- travene both its letter and spirit. THE bill before congress to require the railroads to carry the mails at the compensation fixed by law isanecessary measure that should be passed without delay. At present the postal service of the country is practically at the mercy of the railroads. If a railroad company should refuse to make a contract with the postoftice department for transport- ing the mails the depurtment has no alternative but to have them carried by pony express. This great service, so vital to the interests and wel- fare of the people, should not be permitted o continne in this hazardous position any longer. Under present conditions a combination of railroads could utterly paralyze the mail service of the country, and while no such danger may be atall probable, it is the part of sound public policy to make it impossibly. The postmaster general shows that there is unquestion - able authority in congress to enact the required legislation, and forcible points out the necessity there is for it. In a matter of such very great concern to the whole people the power of the gov- ernment should be clearly and fully de- tined und the service amply protected against the caprice of a carrier. WHILE it might have been expected that the Gentile population of Utah would protest against the admission of that tereitory for obvious reasons, it was goncrally represented that the OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY people of Now Mexico were & unit for statehood. The appeals made by Repre- sentative Joseph before congross would boar out this inforence, But it appears that the better classes of that territory by no means fre anxious for stato hood. A memorial from residents of New Mexico has just been presented to the sonato. They pptition avers that New Mexico from tho hature of its Spanish population is at present wholly unfitted to assume the responsibilities of state- hood. If the territory were admitted it would at once bocome the prey of un- serupulous politicians to the peril of the business and property interests of N Mexico. No doubt this counter move- ment by the reputable p2ople of the ter- tory will materially lessen New Mexico's chance wdmission.

EAR R AR THE NEBRASKA FARMER. Union Pacific Abetting Chicago Grain Scalper. Just at the present time the issue occupy- ing tho atteution of the freight agents of Omaha is concerning the differential that ex- ists on grain shipped to St. Louis and Chi- cago. As has been stated, the difference in the rates on this commodity is 5 cents per hundred from Nebraska points in favor of St. Louis, thereby making the latter place the market for the Nebraska shipper and producer, Grain merchants state that the market i St. Louis at all times ranges higher by 1:5to 2 cents per bushel on all grains of the same erade on the Chicago mar- ket. In advancing an opinion in defense of the 5 cents differential, o well-known trafiic manager said: *“This' howl was first mau by the Chicago elevator men and grain mer chants of that point, The fact is that Chi- cago has about lost "her grip as a receiving and disbursing point. All along the men of that city have had the best of transaction because Chicago was so locate that no single road dare discriminate against it without suffering s material loss in freight shipment. ~ But for tho Chicago & Alton Kansas City and St Louis would not have the position in commerciai circles that th now hold to-day, As'l said before, if the Chicago merchants o not get the cream of every transaction there is a general howl of discrimination sent forth, and, until a short time ago, they wore successful in bringing matters to suif their own terms, But Chi- cago hus lost its leyerage i the railw circle and it is now in its decline. The coi- tralization of trafe is destined to poiuts westward, and as tho territory west of tho Missouri Fiver is opencd up to railway trafic 80 will the trafiic centors grow. Mark what The the I say, that from this on Omaha and Kansas City will be the contested points in ~ the " ‘holding of frei and mot Chicago. Just to give you a clear explanation 'of how Chicago has lost its grip, turn to the issue that was recently made on live stock and packing nouse products. Show me one instance in tho records before wherein Chicago has made a demand like this that has not been adjudi- cated to its satisfaction. I tell you the tide in tho currents of trafiic has becn changed. But as regards the diferential on graio, it should be maintained in the intorestof the Nebraska farmer alone. In St. Louis grain graded as No. 3, is graded No. 3 in Chicago by the elevator men of that place, and on all grain the St. Louis market grades one grade higher than that of Chicago. For this rea- 00 & botter price 18 i g ! that the Chicago wmerchant was more part ular in_ bringing grain to grade, but not so. it is only the system of swindling the western shipper, & system that bas grown old in the service of the.
