Peusions u s 1 ADAMS’ soup-bubble is in y danger of being bursted and sntlemen’s agreement” will van- ish into thin ai —— Ir the legislature be true to its prom- ises it will not hesitate to cut down the extravagant appropriation estimates for the various departments of the state, A mrart livense bill was substitated for a prohibitory measure in the Da- kota legislature with every prospect of success. Our northern meighbor is providing against what is called Iowa prohibition. It is safe to say that not one-fifth of the number of bills introduced in the legislature will ever become the law of the state. New members are prolific of bills. The more = man knows the less his desire to introduce measures which must die in the groaning pigeon hole. Bur little snow has fallen in the mountain ranges of Colorado and the fact is beginning to crcate alarm that the water supply in the state will be considerably diminished. Such a condi- tion of affairs would cause great hard- ships to the farmers of that region as well as to other industries depending on the mountain streams. THe agreement of the conference committees of the two houses of con- gress to recommend the transfer of the signal service bureau from the army to the agricultural department revives the expectation that the commssioner of agriculture will be elevated to a cabi- mnet position. Should congress agree to the report and President Cleveland offer no objection, it is quite probable that General Harrison will have an op- portunity to appoint anadditional mem- bor to his cabinet family TaE Ohio legislature promptly de- feated & bill providing for the inspec- tion on the hoof of all beef sold in that state. The people of Ohio evidently do not want to create a monopoly for the benenfit of local butchersaud en- hance the price of meat to the con- sumer. While it is recognized that a proper inspection is desirable to pro- tect the public health, it is admitted that such inspection can be regulated best only at the points where cattle are slaughtered end under the divection of {ederal authority. ACTION on the bill for opening the Bioux reservation is expected in the house this weelk, and the advocates of the measure are hopeful of its success. They also profess to find the situation in the senate satisfactory, although the bill will doubtless encounter a pretty sturdy opposition theve from Mr., Dawes and some others who have not yet been educated to the idea that the govern- ment should deal with the Indians with reforence to their own and the general welfare, regavdless of their capri obstinacy or inability to understand what is really in their interest and to their advantage. ——— LEr the taxpayors and citizens who step to the polls on Tuesday keep in mind that if the votes of the people of Omaha reaflivm the location of the eity hall on its presentsite, as wasonce deter- mined by their ballots, all controversy on the question will end. The eity hall location will be fixed once for all. There will be no more delay in the .council or out of the council, Within ninety days work will be hegun on the building and 1ts erection will be pushed forward rapidly. Within twelve or elghteen months Omaha will have its eity hall building completed, a credit to our name and an evidence of good faith. But more than this. The favora- ble settlement of the city hall question will stimulate activity all .over Omaha, Property owners and investors will pluck up heart and carry out their long-chervished plans. Work will be active for all, The laborer, the me- ehanie, the business man will share in the benofits, and Omaha will become an attractive field for the iuvestment of eastern capital, FOR RETRENCHMENT. The disposition that is being s hown in the] legislature to rifuce the expenses of the state government is to. be mended. If the results shall be the pedple expoect the present | ture will have made a record to b mombered to its credit, even though it should do little more than this, The senate has called upon the live stock commission for an 1temized account of its expenditures during the last two years, and when this is fortheoming it should receive most careful scrutiny. There is every reason to bhelicve that there has been unwarranted ex- travagance and reckless waste by this commission, and if it is able to furnish an 1itemized account, it will need to be very carefully examined. A committes of sonators and the adjutant general have been authorized to investigate the agricultural department of the state university, and if thistask isthoroughly performed, very interesting dovelop ments may be expocted. No one need it shall appear that this one of the unfroitful be surprised if department has been mnost wastoful and of any that makes an annual demand upon the state tre This is ground for the belief that it rossly mismanaged, and that the results have been farfrom commensurate with the cost. The duty of the committee will be to probe to the bottom s, Ancther legislative committee s charged with the inquiry asto the num- ber of employes nceded in the state offices, and the result of its labor will doubtless be a reduction of the pav voll 1 of the departments. looking L sever gatious in other dirc retrenchment are probable. The cost of administering the state government can be mate ly reduced without in the least degree impairing the efficiency of any department. Com- parison with the expenditures of other where a judiclous economy is practiced shows that Nebrueska is annu- ally expending move monoy thau 18 nec- to an efticient public service. Our heavily taxed peopla demand res lief, and they should not appeal in vain, The havd working farmers of Nebraska cannot afford to give of the fraits of their industry and theift tosup- port useless employ in the servic of the state, or to provide for expendi- tures whick bring no veturn and are not necessary to the general welfave, [t is to be hopad the disposition of the legis- lature to lighten their burden, so far as this may be done by a judicious policy of retrenchmeunt, will be fruitful of satisfactory results. tons WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? Who is responsible for submission ? Who is responsible for the incalculable damage to Omaha's material interests by the success of the prohibitionists at Lincoin? We say most emphatically that the responsibility for whatever dis- aster may befalt us, and whatever shrinkage there may be in property values, must justly be charged to Jim Creighton, Tom Swift, Henry Bolln, John B. Furay, Isaac S. Tascall, St. A. D. Balcombe, Joe Redman and their aiders and abettors in the city hall re- location scheme. Aud every man, from Doctor Mevcer down to Pat Ford, who has given them aid and comfort is caually responsible for the two years of uncertainty that will hang over Omaha. Instead of joining hands with public- spirited citizens and making a con- certed fight at Lincoln against prohibi- tion, these narrow-minded and selfish people have forced a contest that has divided Omaha and compelled business men and citizens whose property inter- ests were put in jeopardy by a lawless raid to remain in this city and protect themselves. It is admitted on all hands, and even conceded by Church Howe, that tlie editor of T BEr could per- sonally have exerted influence enough to beat the submission amendment if he had been able to stay at Lin- coln during last week. To the Jefferson square raid may be justly charged the responsibility for submission. They never will be able to justify themselves before this commun- ity. They are very much the same class of citizens that two years ago went to Lincoln to mutilate the charter, and have set Omaha back five years at least by blocking the way to the purchase of park property and laying out of boule- vards that would have kept the boom right up and given steady employment to thousands of workingmen. YESTERDAY'S CALAMITY. The killing of six persons, and the injury, more or less serious, of several othors, in the wreek made by the f ing of a portion of the east wall of the burned Meyer bloek, on Farnam strcet, upon the adjoining buildings, is the saddest calamity in the history of Omaha, The entire community has been profoundly shocked by this most unfortunate occurrence, and with the sorrow that is felt for those so suddenly bereaved thore mingles a fecling of keen resentment for the ecriminal dereliction that is, in part, re- sponsible for the calamity. The burning “of the Meyer block oc- curred on the night of January 19, leaving u large part of the blackened eastern wall, which was necessarily weakened by the fire, without support. For more than two weeks this pile of brick and mortar stood threateningly above the buildings adjoining the block, noted as dangerous by hundreds of passers by, but so far as appears re- ceiving inadequate aitention from those whose duty it is to attend to such mat- ters. Unsheltered and unsupported, this wall was a fair target for the strong wind that yesterday swept down from the northwest, and yielding before the blasts that came almost with the ye- locity of a hurricane the mass orashed down upon the buildings below, com- pletely wrecking them and sending at Jeast six persons to untimely death. Some one is responsible for this cal- amity, and the responsibility must be fixed whereit belongs, Theve has been culpable doreliction, incompetence, or indifference, and it must be ascertained who is guilty. Itisthe stern duty of the authorities to do this. Section 28 of ordinrnce 1783 repds: ‘“‘When- ever in the opinion of the superintendent of buildings any wall or other part of a burned building is dangerous * * * the superintend- ent shall notify the 6wner or his agert in writing, specifying. whersin such danger consists,” The superintendent of buildings states that he examined the walls of the burned block and did not wd them as dangerous, while the orn wall he thought to be perfectly safe. Tho event of yesterday ? that the judgment of the superintendent was lamentably at fanly, and will naturally suggest a doubt as to his competency. It would seem that in any event a care- ful and capable man would have required that a wall with an ex- posure of forty feet should be so sup- ported and buttressed as to have ren- dered such a disastor as that of yest day impossible. Public sentiment will demand a thorough and rigid investi- gation, regarkless of who shall suffer theraby. THere are conflicting staten from Washington as to what the ways and means committee of the house in- tends doing with the tariff bills. It has been reported t acompromise mens- ure would be brought forward as soon as possible after the committee obtainod figures from the treasury showing the probable result of the operation of the scnate bill, but other equally trustworthy information states that no such action is contemplated. Some further consid tion will doubtless be given the subject, but it is hardly possible th there will be riff legislation © the ' . rawe sl 5 WAL Gily four weeks of on remaining., There is a ill in charge of the committeo on ap- propriations providing for a reduction of revenue by the repeal and veduc- tion of internal taxes, but there is vory slight probablity that the house will adopt this means of keeping down the sarplus, The outlook is that the next administration will enter upon its duties with the fiscal situation un- changed and & growing surplus whose accumulation it will find some difficulty in checking. ents any prosent Tie Dakota admission bill is now in the hands of a conference committ which will probably consider it duving the present week. The chances of an agreement are not vegarded as very bright, although the conferces on the part of the house are thought to be s likely to favor a compromise with the senate as any that could have been se- lected. The larger majovity of the domocrats in the house ave, however, strongly disposed to adhere to the cau- cus agreement to include New Mexico in the biil, and it is questionable it the conferees, with the ¢ ception of the ropublican member the committee, can withstand the pressure that will be made upon them. The republicans, it is said, will not concede statehood to New Mexico at this time, even though urged to do by the Dakotans, and thus the outlook is that the conference will end in fail- ure. The Dakota contingentin Wash- ington 1s working hard, but without very great expectations of accomplish- ing anything in the present congress. Tne National Pure Food association, in session at Washington, is renewing its efforts to induce congress to pass such legislation will prevent fraud and misrepresentation in the manufae- ture of food products. The problem is a most delicate one, and congress is not at all inclined to interfere whera there is so much danger for class logislation to benefit certain industries at the e pense of others. Nevertheless, national legislation can influence the movement in favor of pure food. It is legitimate for congress to see that food products shall be sold uuder their truthful rep- resentation with respect to quality. The consumer has a right toknow what he purchases and toget the article he pays for. Such laws would not dis- crimiuate hetween the genuine and the adulterated, it is true, but would go a long way in bringing abcut pure food products by preventing imposition upon the consumer. THE Ransom insurance bill before the legislature to compel companies, in case of total loss by fire, to pay the full fu value of the policy in only one of simi- lar legislation urged in anumber of other stat This would indicate that the insurance compuunies have abused their powers as adjusters, not alone in Nebraska, but in Illinois, Minnesota, Pennsylvanin aud New Hampshire, where efforts are made to correct their injustice. No doubt other states will take active measures to protect their citizens from the imposition of jnsur- ance companies now that the movement in that direction has become generval. For that reason the legislature should not be intimidated by the threats of the insurance lobby at Lincoln that the pas- sage of the Ransom bill will legislate the insurance business and agencies out of Nebr aska, CALIFORNIA has offered an unique plea in order to convince President Harrison that the state is entitled to representation in the cabinet. Tt is put forward with great earnestness that California is the geographical cen- of the United States. Geographi- cally this is true., The most eastern point of the United States is Quadley Tead, Me., while the ‘extreme western point of this country is Atton, one of the islands of the Aleution archipelago, off Alaska, Strange to say, California lies midway between these extremities if estimated in statute miles. it is hard to see how General Harrison can resist this clinching argument, and no doubt would be anxious to give Cali- fornia the desired seat—provided, of course, that state can produce the man best qualified to take his seat in the administration, But California has so far evidently failed to produce the right sort of timber, ——— SnouLp the people forget their obli- gations and duties to the city and to foreign capitalists who have invested their money in good faith; should they forget the contract rights between the council and the board of education by casting a majority of their votes for re- lozation they invite upon themselves whatever may follow.
