SoUTH OMANA wants a census. Hold on until the packing season reaches its height. THE county hospital scandal is going to lead to the washing of considerable dirty linen. THE county commissioners will have a great deal to explain presently to the tax-payers of Douglas county, THE street car railvroad campaniesare altogether too sensitive about the mat- ter of paving twelve inches beyond the outer rails, Wiri three suffrage bills thrown into the waste basket, it is to be hoped that the suffragist will give the woman present logislature a much needed rest. TiE American people have one thing . for which they may well feel grateful. Congress will never again be disgraced by the presence of Riddleberger, of Virginia. CoNGRESS has effectually vetoed the Union Pacific extension bill. The Bos- ton literary bureau chilled the measure to the marrow and Adams acted as chief executioner. CLEVELAND'S regret over the retire- ment of the democracy from power is rendered acutely painful by the sudden stoppage of a salary of fifty thousand dollars a year Tie spasm of reform which struck thegamblers of Council Bluffs on the eve of the election will tend to elevate the profession.

So many orders for wares have boen placed that factories are begiuning to run on double time. The increased demand for goods of all kiuds makes it necessary to vun the looms day and night, and if veports be not exaggeratod, there is promise of a Pprosperous season in mercantile lives. EETe——— BPEARKER CARusLe’s oconduct in preventing action on important moas- es that did not meet his approval is e boldest exhibition -of arbitrary wor witnessed in recent yea How g congress will permit one-waw power to over-ride its will is a serious Question, It is certain that the coming congress will make a radical change in the rules and reserve to itself the power THE INAUGURAL ADDRES Presidont Harrison’s inaugurdl ad- dress appropriately opens with a reference to the century of constitutional government which the United States has passed. [He contravts in a general way vhe condi- tions at the outset of the great experi- ment in republican government with those of the present, and to the policy early adopted of making the people of the country self-dependent ascribes the material and moral progress of the na- tion. The revival of the same patriofic interest in the preservation and devel- opment of domestic industries and the defensc of lahor against injurious for- eign competition is regarded as an incident worthy of attention, and Presi- dent Harrison plainly states his position on the question of protection in this language: “I look hopefully to the continuance of our protective system, and to the consequent development of manufacturing and mining enterprises in states hitherto wholly given to agri- culture, as a potent influence in the per- fect unification of our people.” He takes occasion in connection with the discussion of this theme to suggest that the men of the south who are promoting mining and manufacturing enterprises may yet find that the free ballot of the workingman, without distinction of race, is needed for their defense as well as | for his own. Those who had expected or hoped for a distinet southern policy from the next administration will be disappointed in the assurance given by President Harri- son that there will be no special execu- tive policy for any section of the coun- try. But his views of the constitutional duty of the president, which is hmited to administering and enforcing the laws enacted by congress, will be ap- proved by all good citizens, The ob- ligation of all to give full and faith- ful obedience to the laws, and the necessity to social order and pros- perity of such obedience, ave urged in clear and positive terms. This sen- tence is significant: *If our great ecor- porations would more scrapuiously ob- serve their legal limitationsand duties, they would have less cause to compiain of the unlawful limitations of their rights, of violent interference with their operations.” The president plainly indi- cates that he has no sympathy with those whose selfishness or projudice lead them to nullify the laws, and de- clares that permitting them to do so is full of danger to the nation. The president is in favor of the nat- uralization laws so that the high priviliges of American citizenship shall be conferred only upon those fitted for them, and while we should continue to be hospitable to immigation we should not be careless as to the character of it. Regarding our velations with European powers the position of the president is full harmony with the traditional of government, particu- with respect to political interference by any of these pow- ers with the affairs or governments of this hemispere. A straightforward, justand firm course in ourinternational relations, respecting the rights of other nations and insisting upon our own, is what is promised by the new adminis- tration. What President Harrison says regard - ing appointments to public office and the obligations of public officers will e generally approved. He will expect a faithful enforcement of the civil serv- ice Jaw and will endeavor to advance reform of the civil service, but he does not promise to attain perfection, nor does he propose to disregard the claims of honorable party service when these can receive consideration without conflicting with the poliey of reform. The evil of a surplus in the treasury is conceded, but the president does not v gard it as the greatest evil. While economy 1n public expenditures should be always observed, the president thinks there is nothing in the condi- tion of our country or our people to sug- gest that anything at present neccessary to public prosperity, security or honor should be unduly postponed. When these extraordinary demands, some of which are indicated, have been wisely estimated and added to our ordinary expenditures, the president thinks the necesss redue- tion in revenue may be effected without breaking down the taviff or seriously injuring any domestic industry. The’ president thinks the pension laws should give more adequate and a criminating velief, refers to the pros- pective admission of four states as a subject of congratulation, alludes to the general interest in a reform of election laws as gratilying, and concludes his address with an appeal to exalt patriot- ism and moderate party contentions, The address is elevated in tone and spirit, is free from pavtisan allusion, is thoroughly American in sentiment, and will strengthen the new president in the respect ana confidence of the peo- ple. — KEEP APPROPRIATIONS DOWN. The closing days of every legislature are the, most costly to the people, Hun- dreds of thousands of dollurs ave reck- lessly voted to jobbers, bogus claimants and mismanaged state institutions, The time for exercising good, sound judg- ment is when the appropriation bills are under consideration. Nebraska is in no condition to bear the burdens which it is proposed to throw upon the over- mortgaged farmers and producers. The men who cut down appropriation bills, vote down all the normal school bills, knock out the soldiers’ covtage nonsense, and refuse to apprepriate a dollar for additional wings to existing state institutions, will merit the grati- tude of the people. The enormities of the legisinture of two years ago must not he repeated. Let the state take a rest from over-taxation for the next 1wo years, —e THE FAILURES OF CONGRESS. The Fiftieth congress will be mem- orable quite ns much for what it fuiled to do as for what it accowplished. There was an extraordinary amount of business presented to it, but with the exception of not wore than half a dozen veally important measures, chief among them heing the biil for the admission of four new states, the legislation of the lust congress does not make a record o surpassiyg ceedit, {is course through- out was largely directed by political considerations, and in this respect both parties are amenable, in very nearly equal degree, to criticism, The failure to make any provision for reducing the revenues of the govern- ment was wnfortunate, and undeniably the responsibility for this rests chiefly upon the majority in the last house of representatives. The opportunity given this majority to cut down reveuue, and thereby prevent the accumulation ot the surplug in the national treasury by re- moving the tobacco tax, was rejected, although in doing o the majority was clearly stultified. It had persistently maintained that there was danger in a growing surplus, since it invited a reckless waste of the public money, and no one ques- tioned the soundness of the argument. Men sincerely fearing this danger, and finding it impossible to carry their own plan of revenue reduction, should have gone as far as was practicable in avert- ing the danger, particularly when the only measure that could succeed was en- tirely in conservance with traditional democratic doctrine. The result will be a growing surplus, which may make some trouble for the financial and busi- ness interests of the country before the next congress can apply the remedy. The failure to legislate against monopoly in the form of trusts and like combinations was also unfor- tunate. There were brave promises that these organizations against the freedom of trade would be summarily dealt with, and there wére investiga- tions and the introduction of a score or more bills. But neither party showed any genuine desire toact. The conse- quence isthat the trasts are given at least another year in which to strengthen their position and to plunder the people. The failure of proposed legislation to forfeit unearned railroad lands was another serious dereliction that will result inlosing many thous- ands of acres to the people, and is one evidence of the potency of the influence exerted at Wash- agton by the land-grant corpo- vations. The oxpectation that the last congress would do something to compel the Pacific railroads to make pr tions for a settlement of their obliga- tions to the government was d vointed, and in & number of matter less importance the intevests of the peo- ple were neglected. It will be the duty of the next con- gress to provide for the omissions of the last, and as there will be a good worl republican majority in both houses it'is a reasonable expectation that this will be done. SHANE AND MY ERS. Mr. Daniel Shane has placed himself in a very awkward position before this community. When a man, discharged from public employment, turns round 10 accuse the officer who dismissed him of corruption, of which he claims to have had knowledge for many months, he places himself in the light of an in- former who tyrns state’s evidence against his accomplices. Mr. Shane was superintendent of the county hospital. The architect, Mr. Myers, found fault with the wretched work done and inferior material used on the building under Mr. Shane’s supervision. Thereupon Mr. Shane ac- cuses the architect of certifying to fraudulent estimates for the contractors as far back as July, and also trumps up charges of incompeteney and gross neg- ligence against Myers. Assuming that Mr. Shane’s charges are true, he has confessed himself cul- puble for an inexcusable violation of a public trust. It was his duty as the superintendent employed by the county to make the fraud known as soon as it was discovered by - him. To hold back this knowledge for eight months is an admission of unfitness cn his part to be trusted with the positioa he held. This is the natural conclusion every fair minded pevson will reach in the premises. In private business it is always con- sidered in very bad taste for a man to denounce a suverior to his employers after he has been discharged, especially if the party pretends to have withheld from his employers facts concerning the dishonesty of his superiors in position. The denial of the contractors of Mr. Shane’s bribery charges may be passed as biased and unreliable, especially in view of the fact that the masonry in the county hospital 1s very inferior. But the worst of the matter is that the county has a wretehedly constructed public building on its hands. For this the county commissioners are responsi- ble. They had no husiness to let the contract to Ryan & Walsh under pre- tense that they were saving' money to the tax payers. They knew better, and cannot explain away their course in connection with this building, The facts that have come to light re- cently show conclusively that there is something rotten in the whole business. THEY HAVE HIM ON THE HIP, The most prominent and conspicuous heading on the first page of the Omahn World yesterday was over a scurrilous dispatch received by mail from Lincoln regarding the Royce rvelief fund. The pith of this dispatch is in the following paragrvaph: The newspapers and roporters are having an interesting time with E. Rosewater, and now think they have him on the hip, so to speak. Who were the reporters, and what newspapers do they represent? Arc those reporters the same persons who have disgraced the profession by ca- rousing night after night in the bar- rooms and brothels of Lincoln in com- pany with hoodlers and jobbers? Is not the leadiug spirit among these report- ors one Frank Morrissey who has made it his business for two or three years to concoct plots against THre BEE and its editor and was - the head and front of the tripartite com- bine of wrocked Omaha dailies that waged an infamous and ruinous warfare which they knew would eripple this city by depriving it of parks and boulevards? Avre not the newspapers that are hav- ing such an interesting time in getting . Rosowater on the hip piloted by the same parties who wade a compact two years Ago o 0pPOse every Imeasure which Trg Bsg would advocate and wage war upon every person in public life who was in any way tavored by this paper? That combine brokeof its own weight, just as all combinations and plots to get Rosewater on the hip have failed in the past fifteen years, Instead of striving to excel by publishing first-class dailies and taking position squarely with the people on every vital issue, these papers have centered all their cnergies upon one point, and that wag to down Rosewater, In this endeavor nothing been too vile and low, and no occasion has been neglected that gave the faintest chance 10 besmirch the editor of Tr BE| And what has been the outcome very daily in Omaha excepting alone Tie B has been sinking thousands of dollars a year, and some of them are sinking thousands of dollars every month! Two of the proprietors of these would- be great dailies have never earned dollar of the wenlth they possess, It foll into their laps as an inhevitance. it takes brains and industry to establish and maintain a great daily. Neither of them has been endowed by nature with these essential qualities. Their indolence, lack of judgment and moral stamina and business ca- pacity are responsible for their utter failure to make newspapers that will pay. Pulling and tugging at Tnw BEE and gotting Rosewater on the hip has been a stupid and losing task. But we ecould afford to ignore these barren efforts were it not for the in- decency and lack of journalistic cour- tesy which these papers and their re- porters exhibit, which ve done more to lower the profession in the esteem of reputable men than any other malign influence. It is not only a e’ to journalism, but a positive y to this city and state. Omaha and Nebraska have been built up largely and advertised extensively by Tne Bk, which has taken rank among the great dailies of America. To diseredit 1ts standing abroad and at home by malicious assaults can only tend to curtail its influence and useful- ness for the public good. No reputable business man would stoop o low as to treat a competitor as Mr. Hitcheock and other unsuceessful newspaper men have Toe BEE and its editor. Such conduct would not be countenanced or tolerated in any community EVERYTHING points to a year of sub- stantial progress in all lines in Omaha. The record of the cleaving house is the bavometer of . business.

NExXT Tuesday the people of New Hampshire are to vote upon a prohibi- tory amendment to their state constitu- tion. IYor over thiv 0 stringent statutory law, prohibiting the sale and manufacture of liquor, has been in force in New Hampshire. The panalties have been increased, and the rigors of the law maltiplied from year to year by the legislature. Now the advocates of pro- hibition confess that the law is practi- cully a dead letter and the cause of tem- perance has not been materially advanced by its operatiom, How a stitational amendment o in y malke prohibition more effee- ses our comprehension, An amendment caunot enforce 1tsell with- out law, and if stringent temperance laws alveady on the statute books of New Hampshive fail to suppress the liquor traffic, the proposed amendment, if adopted, is not likely to effect a ma- terial change. THE street commissioner draws a salary of one hundred and fifty dollars a month. Infour mouths he has tapped the city treasury for six hundred dol- lars without rendering the slightost service. The streots of the city, espe- cially in the business center, reek with accumulated filth of winter, yet this official sinecure pays nol the slightest heed to the complaints of merchants. Why canuot the strect commissioner clean the guttersof the principal streets and cart away the rubbish? Unless this is done promptly the rain storms of the spring season are liable to choke the sewers with rubbish, overflow into base- ments and cause groat damage to property owners and business men.
