TRYING T0O DO TOO MUCH. The attempt to force through the tag- islature a maximun rate bill which cov- ers forty pages, is bound to prove a dismal failure. The make-upof the present legislature is not favorable to anti-monopoly That fact has been patent the outset. If the men who are honestly seek- ing to give the people re- lief from extortion or imposition by the railroads desire to do something practical will be content with a few simple provisions they may be able to accomplish something bhofore the legis- ure adjourns. A bill that will 1l railroads in Nebraska to n the classification that svails in Illinois and Towa perhaps have some chance of both Such a bill would prevent overchar, shippers by change of classification and lay the foundation for regulation that would prove effective. A bill that would estab- lish the local tonnage rate for the four principle staples that are transported by Nebraska railronds—namely, coal, lum- ber, grainand cattle, with proper differ- entiation for the long and short haul would be more effective and practical than an inflexible maximum rate schedule with near! many articles as are embraced in a national taviff bill, There is such a thing as trying to do t0o much, THE NATURALIZATION LAW. The bill reported to the house of rep- wtives from its committee on iary, proviging for the amendment, wturalization law, is a measure of Changes in the law which will pre s abuse, which will ele- vate the character of citizenship by shutting out persons who are unworthy of 1t, and which will give all practicable surnnce that those who hereafter be- me citizéns of the Unitea States will understand and be fitted for the great privileges and responsilites involved, are undoubtedly to be desired. The report of the com- mittee accompanying the bill ste that now any sortof criminal may ol tain all the benefits of citizenship in the United States by making an afli- davit of intention before the clerk of the court, while the generally careless practice of judees allows an alien, Low- ever bad his character or ignorant he may be, to become a eitizen, The law does not deny citizenship to persons who have come into the coun in fla- grant violation of the immigr The naturalization law date the administration of Jefferson, and the original act has been amended but once, such amendment sim- ply providing that a declaration of intention may be made before aclerk of any of the courts named in the statute. The only safeguard against improper or unworthy persons becom- ing citizens is in the reguirement that it shall be made to appear to the satis- faction of the court that the applicant for citizenship has during the specitied period “*hehaved as a man of good moval character, attached to the principles of the constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same.” Obviously there is ample latitude here for a judze, or ome who political purpose to scrve, to grant citizenship to persons wholly unfitted for 1t, and it is a matter of common knowledge that this is widely donc. The recurrence of every important election makes citizens throughout the country of thousands who are unworthy of that boon. When this law was passed by the Seventh congress there were very few aliens of the objectionable el coming into the country, and a liberal sentiment prevailed, under tho influcnee of Jefferson, regarding tho extension of citizenship. But it must be conceded that the conditions have changed, and as the privilege of being an Ameriena citizen 1s of greater value now than thon the necessity of guard- ing it more cavefully is stronger. The alien who now renounces his alle- ginnce to his native land and takes upon himself the obligations of a citi- zen of the United States, secures the protection of ‘one of the most powerful and respected nations, with opportuni- ich no other couutry ecan gi certainly the right of the nation to have the stromgest possible assur- ances that the man whom it takes to its guardinnship and its privileges is worthy of them, The bill reported by the committeo will of course require very caveful and dcelibevate consideration. here is demand for hasty action, and it is not supposed that there will be final action upon it by the present congre, But it will be ready for the next congress, and in the meantime it can receive full pub- lic discussion. from com- main- now, would passing same houses, es to ¢ as resen THE NEGRO NORTH AND SOUTIL The discussion in the house of repre- sentatives on Wednesday, preliminary to the vote on the Elliott-3malls con- test. which rosulted inst the col- ored contestant, was mainly important as showing the navrow spirit of the men who dominate southern politics. So far as the contest is concerned, it has been irvevoeably determined by a near!y t party vote, but two dewmo- crats voting with the republicans, and it can be to little purpose to continue the controversy. Undoubtedly Smalls was entitled to the seat, and it is not creditable to the majority of the house or to the party represented by that majority, that he was deprived of his right. It was an action that will stand in evidence against all future profes- sions of the democratic party that it is disposed to deul justly with the colored o lesson which the colored 7eng the country ought to thoroughly loarn and remember., The effort of the southern politicians 10 justify their conduct in supprossing colored vepublicans, and nullifying the election of a colored representative from that section, by arraigning the north because it has never sent a col- ored man to congress, was the most puerile application of what Mr. Ludgo racterized as the ‘“‘your're another” argument ever heard in congress. There areanumber of congressional districtsin the south in which the colored voters are in the majority, while there is not one such district in the north. Colore mon are chosen to legislatures in the northern states solely as a matter of fairness to the race, and it is not to bo doubted that if there were congres- sional districts in the north with a pre- nonderance of colored voters, as there are in the south, some of them would have colored representatives. Their vote would not be suppressed, and it would be fairly counted when cast. But thero is no reason why colored man should be sent to con- gress from a northern district simply as an affair of sentiment, or as Mr. Hemphill of South Carolina put it, to “make aliving example of his fitness to make laws for the people of the United States.’ Jxperiments of this kindin politics are neither expected nor to be desired, It will be for the southern democrats to attempt to justify their conduct toward the colored citizens of the south by such argument this, or by citing casual incidents of hostility to colored men in the north. The fact remains, supported by evidence that can not be successfully ques- foned, that hundreds of thou- sands of colored men arve denied their political rights in the south, while in the north they are as free and untram- meled in the exercise of these rights as the white citizen. This is the plain and simple issue, which cannot be re- moved by taunt and reerimination. usoless AN UNENVIABLE RECORD. No member of Me. Cleveland’s cab- inet, not even Secretary Bayarvd, will retire from public life with a more un- enviable record than Mr. Vilas, While postmaster-general the whole aim of Vilas seemed to be to turn over the ice as rapidly as possible to deme . Very early after entering the department he issued his memorable confidential circular to democratic con- gressimen, instructing them as to the method to e pursued in ovder to re- place republican postmasters with dem- oceats, The posure of this schomo by a congress- man who w HOt 0 much of a par s to have lost his self- vespect, for a time checked the plans of Mvr. Vilas for a clean sweep, but he re- turned to the work with a vigor, the results of which were speedily appar- ent. The was a pretiy general demoralization of the servi which was never in worse condition than when he left. it to ume the duties of the interior department. As secret: of the interior, Vilas has done nothing of advantage to the government or to his own eredit. He probably found the administration less anxious than it had professed to be to antagonize the cor- porations and other predatory occu- pants of the public domain, and none could ve been more willing than ne to acquiesco in this feeling. The con- sequence is that his administration of the interior department has had few practical results of value to the people. Recently Indian Commissioner Ober virfually censured Vilas for his course in the Chippewa timber cutting dal, and the circumstance illustrates a phase of the character of tho present sec of the interior. The qu involved was onacomplaint made by the Chippewas of northern Wisconsin, that the Supevior Lumber company s helpin itsell to lumber from their reservation, One Gregory, a former employe of the lumber company, was made Indian agent at La Pointe, in which capacity he passed upon contracts between the Chippewas and the Superior Lumber company, per: mitting the company to cut timber on the reservation. Evidence produced a year ago before a scnate committeo led to the resignation of Gregory, but he has remained in possession of the office. There have also been rather intimate re- lations between Vilas and Gregory. It is suficient to say that the cause of Commissioner Oberly’s reflections on the action of the retary of the in- terior was the fact that the latter de- cided the matter in controversy against the Chippewas, and until another secre- tary of the interior comes in to set this decision aside, as undoubtedly it should be, the Superior Lumber company will continue to prey upon the timber of the Indians. The countryis to be congratu- lated upon the early retirement of Mr, Vilas from public life. postal ser consequenco At being dirccted in the manufacturing centers of the country to the possibilitice to which the waste products of corn can be put. Oune of the latest discoveries is the manufacture of paper and cloth from corn husks. It is claimed that tho linen made from the long fibre of husks gives an excellent substitute for the coarser grades of flax ind hemp and is superior to jute, gunny cloth and similar products. While the shorter fibres of the husks are most ad- mirably adapted for the manufacturae of paper, which is stronger than the papers of like weight made from linen or cotton rags. There can be no ques- tion that within comparatively few years manufacturing enterprises will Spring up in Nebraska and other of the so-called agricultural states of the west to convert our natural products by methods yet to be discovered or still in their infaney into articles of gencral utility. Tilaboring alement of the country will have its attention attracted to the recent action of the National Associa- tion of Builders, which recommends im- portant changes in the lien laws of the various states. The association seelks to umend the lien laws so that laborers and journcymen shail have no claim upon property for labor performed in excess of the twenty-four days’ earnings for ench individunl., [t is aserious question whether mechanics and labor- ers should he deprived of any vight which they are accorded by existing laws. As between contractors and lab- overs the latter should be entitled to the greater protection. For that rea- son state legislatures will be loath to interfere with the lien laws at the bid- ding of the builders. It inay be do- pended upon, moreover, thata most vigorous protest would come from labor organizations in the event of auy such action. ACCORDING to the comptroller of the currency the national banks have ucver heen sounder or better managed thau to-day. The now year has opened under favorable auspicqs and there is a buoy- ancy and healthfulness in the mone markets which~ bespeak confidence. The decline im rspeculation has permit- ted the banksto come toa sounder basis and todispose of their holdingsof securi- ties not ily negotiable. The marvelous expansion of théir deposits has put into the money centras more money than can find investment.. All this is gratifying as it prepares the way for a season of enterprise and prosperity, the moment the wheels ofapdustr, sot in motion. PROVISIONS should be made for th payment of inspectors of public works this season out of current funds. The abuses which have resulted from com- pelling inspectors to wait until the special levy had been made for their par ices, have been pointed out time and in. Not alone isitan injustice on the part of the city to de- lay payment to these inspectors, but 100 often the public interests have been sacrificed, due to the dependence of in- spectors on contractors for wvecuniavy favors. feular se; Fow attempting to kill Dr. Kelly and incidentally jeopardizing the life of his wife, two men have been held in $2,500 bouds each.
