The issuc made by the Illinois sena- tors in the matter of the appointment of an internal revenue collector hus been decided by the president agalnst the sonators, The was the most important controversy relating to the control of the patronage in the states since the memorable issue between Roscoe Conk- ling and President Garfield, and now as then the administration maintains its constitutional prerogative as the ap- pointing power, subject only to the “advice and consent’’ of senators, as provided in the constitution, but under no obligation to consult them in ad- vauce of nominations. The case in point has heretofore been referred to. Dr. Wilcox was the can- didate of Representative Cannon for in- ternal rovenue collector of the Eighth Illinois collection distriet, embraced in the congressional district represented by Cunnon. Senator Cullom also re- sides in this district, and he had an- other man whom he wished ap- pointed collector. Wilcox was appoint- ed, to assume the duties of the office July 1. At the time this was done Sena- tor Cullom was in New York investigat- ing the railrond question, and as soon as that was concluded he hurried to ‘Washington and had an interview with the president in which he protested against the appointment and med that he should have been consulted, especially as the office to be filled was at his home. Subsequently Senator Farwell called on the president and urged the view of the matter presented by his senatorial colleague, and finally the two senators joined in a written protest which was sent to the secretary of the treasury, and by him submitted to the president. This was not against the man appointed, but the policy of making an appointment in a territory partly senatorial without consulting tho senator. The president has probably had no more delicate task presented to him than that of deciding this issue, but he performed it promptly and effect- ively. The appointment of Dr. Wilcox having been made in good faith, and there being nothing against him on the score of character or qualifica- tions, he will receive the com- mission, and his nomination will at the proper time be sent to the senate for its “advice and consent,” as required by the con- stitution. It will then be the privilege of the Illinois senators to oppose con- firmation, and thereby make an issue as to the right of senators to dictate as well as advise and consent to appoint- ments, if they deem it wise and expedi- ent to do so, in which event the country will be given an opportunity to see how far “senatorial courtesy” may go in sustaining tho extraordinary claims of senators. Meanwhile there can be no doubt that tho intelligent and candid judg- ment of the country will approve the attitude of the president in this matter, with all that it implies. The constitu- tion distinetly provides that the presi- dent shail nominate public officers to be appointed, and contains no sug- gestion that the relations of senators to appointments begin before nominations are submitted to them. The president consults with senators and representa- tives not bucause he is under any con- stitutional obligation to do so, but chiefly as a matter of conven- ience and courtesy. He can not have porsonal knowledge of the vast number of applicants for positions, nor has he time to acquire it, and he must consequently depend largely upon members of congress for information as to persons worthiest of being appointed. Apart from this there is a courtesy due to congressmen in per- mitting them to reward their friénds and to uame those whom they prefer for an office tobe filled. But if it were possible tor the presidentv to select men for the offices without consulting sena- tors or representatives his right to do 80 would be unquestionable. The as- sumption of senators, thorefore, of a 1ght to be consulted as to nominations, which may carry with it virtual dicta- tion, and thereby take from the pres dent the initiative of appointment con- ferred by the constitution, v\%!lo leav- ing upon him all the respBnsibi can not underany state of circumstances be successfully defended. It is an as- sumption which has grown up within the past twenty-five years, and derives no warrant from the earlier practice in the distribution of federal patronage. It is an expression of the dictatorial spirit and the tendency to usurpa- tion of powers und privileges which have of late years characterized the senate, to its material loss in popu- lar respect and confidence. President Harrison has doné wisely in refusing to surrender to this spirit, and in main- taining his constitutional prerogative. He may flnd that he has run athwart of the law of *‘senatorial courtesy,” but he aeed not hesitate to take the conse- quences, having the conviction that he has sustained the dignity and right of his office, and the assurance that he will have the approval of the fair and candid judgment of the country. A POLITICAL TRAGEDY. The massacre at Forest City, Arkam sus, adds & most sanguinary chapter to the history of political tragedies which has been made in the south within the present year. The assassination of Clayton, the brutal outrages at Gretna and at Lafayette, Louisiana, and the affair at Forest City, although unlike in character, may still be fairly associated as springing from a like spirit and mo- tive. Each and all of them denote the continued existence, among southern democrats, of a bitter and ilmplacable hostility to republicans, and particu- larly to the colored citizens of the south who adhere to the republican party., While it may be granted that there is a conservative element which does not approve such outrages as have recently occurred, as shown in the fact that some of the more reputable demo- cratic papers of the south have vigor- ously denounced the Louisiana oceur- rences, yet the evideuce is that this element exercises very little in- fluence, and none at all in exigencies when its influence might be most useful. Its counsel receives atteation when peace prevails and the demo- oratic majority are in vontrol, but the moment that control is challenged and AR must be fought for, the conservative counsel censes to have any considera- tion, and in order to hold power no means are 0o cruel, brutal and bloody. Tho affair at Forest City'grew out of a school district election, but this was merely the opportunity for venting an- tagonisms that have existed for yenrs. White men were involved on both sides, 80 that it was not so entirely a race con- flict as were the affairs in Louisiana, vot it was the demand of the colored re- publicans that they should have the representation they were entitled to, and which they proposed to insist upon, that brought on the conflict. The accounts agree that there was bad tempoer on both sides, and that each party was guilty of intemperate utter- ances. The blame of this may rest equally on both parties, but the fact re- mains that on the one side there was a demand for simple justice, which, had it been accorded, would have averted the confliet with its resultant bloodshed. And what is hardly less to be deplored 18 the fact that no one is likely to be held responsible for at least two cold- blooded assassinations incident to this affair. The immunity of the as- sassins of Clayton will probably be re- peated in the case of those who pursued the wounded colored man, Neely, to his hiding place and riddled him with bul- lets. The authorities are cither in sym- pathy with the assassins or too cow- ardly to hunt them down. Southern democrats can not justly complan if these events create in the minds of the republicans in the north n distrust of their patriot assurances and loyal promises. Local though these outrages have been, when those who are responsible for them escape all pun- ishment, when the authorities do not oven make an attempt to bring any one to justice, they must be regarded as evidences of a prevailing spirit and sen- timent with which those who are charged with administering the laws and preserving the peace and order of society are in full accord. And reflec ing that most of those who are in au- thority in the south owe their positions to just such methods, and perhaps ex- pect to rely upon them for future pre- ferment, the oxplanation of their in- difference to such occurrences as we refer to is apparent. LET THEM RESUBMIT IT. The mere fact that the proposition ssuse three hundred thousand dol- s of school bonds has been voted down does not justify the board of education in refusing to resubmit a modified propo- sition. The lack of interest manifested by our citizens in the proposed erection of needed school buildings is by no means to be taken as a popular expres- sion against further school house buildings in Omaha. While it is true that ninety per cent of the votors of Omaha abstained from voting last Sat- urday, it does not follow that the peo- ple are opposed to a rational policy for maintaining our public schools. It goes without saying that the bonds would have carcied if the board had listened to unbiased advice, dropped the High school addition scheme and limited the estimate for new school house to thirty thousand The vote against the bonds was largely one of ignorance, prejudice and a stupid idea that to issue bonds would mater- ially increase our taxes. Personal animosity against members of the board was chielly responsible for the impression created in certain quarters that the board intended to use the pro- ceeds of the bonds for running the schools, when its income from licenses and fines should be suffi- cient to maintain them. I'ully one- third of the vote cust against the bonds was under this delusion, whereas the fact is that the board could not expend a dollar of the proceeds of bonds except for the purchase of school lots and the construction of school houses. Those who voted against the bonds on account of high taxes were equally deluded. There is no difference to the tax-paper whether the levy 15 made to pay in- terest on bonds or to pay rent for store- rooms and dwellings converted into school-rooms. Rented school-rooms are at best a makeshift and not one out of ten is fitted for the accommodation of teachers and pupils, Omaha can not have efficient schools without commodious school houses. The erection of these buildings during the present season is imperative. They should be built this summer because we will need them next winter, and be- cause their construction will materially help to hold us up against a decline of building operations and lack of employ- ment for workingmen. Since we aro to have a school board election on the first Monday in June, why not resubmit the revised bond proposition on the same day? There will be interest enough worked up meantime to draw a respectable vote, and there is no doubt whatever that two hundred thousand dollars for school houses and sites will be voted by a large majority. ATTHE FRONT OF THE PROCESSION A city can not stand still any moro than can a business firm, It either goes forward or backward. Omaha must forge ahead and keep at the front of the procession with other western cities. This can not be done by depending upon natural advantages and waiting for for- eign capital. The millionaires of Omaha must step to the frout and devise and execute projects that will afford steady employment for workingmen and put anto circulation among our merchants the enormous surplus they have accumulated in our banks. They have made their money in Omaha, and they ought to keepon turning it over, not by cent per cent loans, but by investing it in factories, mills, elevators and additional railroad facilities. Let them show confidence in Omaha’s futuce, and they will have no difficulty in inducing foreign capi- tal to do for Omaha what it has done for Kansas City, St. Paul and Minneap- olis. e———— A YEW duys ago attention was called to the remarkably fast time made by 1wo new la e steamers plying between Chicago and Buffalo which reduced the time between those ocitics from eighty- four hours to fifty-eight hours. These fast voynges .lrom Buffulo allow of a rail ST AT i and lake shipment uom New York to Chicago in a litthd thore than four days, or about tho average time of an all-rail shipment betwean these points. This achievement is 1 ku]\ to effect & great change in freight tiinsportation to and from the Atlantic seaboard. The in- creased officiency, und volume of the lake service brings the water route into sharp competition with the all-rail route. It will force the railroads to make a rate fully as low s the lake ser- vice, or to shorten the time in transit between New York and Chicago. SAN FRANCISCO has just been scan- dalized by the exposure of a brazen at- temptat jury bribing. It has tran- spired that jurors deliberately sell themselves to the highest bidder. This is a stato of affairs which strikes at the very roots of justice aud reveals a con- dition of incredible moral basenoss. There can be one way only for San Prancisco to wipe out this disgrace, and that is to uproot jury fixing and to se- verely punish those guilty of suborna- tion. Lily, Why Don't ¥ou be Good ?

When the doctors turn lightly to love stories, the health of the city needs no further comment. There is much crude wisdom in the rebel- lion of the Omaha Indians against taxes. They are willing to accept the dictum of civ- ilization, to sacrifice their squaws for the development of the country, to accept their annuities without i murmur, and to actually work for a living, but when the asscssor came with his train of tax evils, the soul of the red man dropped to his mocca- sins and he prayed for death.

The District Court, Yesterday afternoon and to-day, Judgo Field heard an equity cause, entitied Charles P. Larsen vs Charles J. Roman and others. The action was one upon liens on the car- riaga factory between N and O streets, recentiy built, and the proceceing was to as- certain the validity of the liens and the order of their priority. There were mortgage: and labor and material men's liens. Mostly the liens were admitted and testimony was only adduced as to the mechanic's lien, filed P. Lavson, a paiuter and glazier, who charged for u certain number of win® dows in the building and the work done, the wmount he claimed being disputed. There 150 the lien of Brown & Co., lumber Bants, for lumber supplied, the question here being merely us to the priority. After a long and patient hearing,, the case was sub- mitted upon the fucts as'stated, but at the hour Tne By > left the court room, the re made. It is understood, how that the court will hold that the Brown lien is entitled to tho priority, and that foreclosure of the mort- gage will not be for tho best interests of all of the partics interested. “The city of Lincoln and Lancaster county ave evidently on the war-path, They are the plaintiffs in thirty-seven cases filed for trial in the district court to-day. The d fendunts are tax delinquents, and the cases are simple for sures of tax Liens. In the case of Johnson vs Griffith the jury found for the blaintiff in the sum of $17: The jury thought that sum ample to com- pensate Mr. Johuson for being thrown into a barb-wire fence and mutilated and laid up for weeks under all the circumstances. Both parties to the suit, however, are very much dissatisfied. The case of Jacob Butler vs James Baker was tried before Judge Chapman and a jury this forenoon and subinitted. The case was ona of trespass, the plaiatiff allegmg $25 damages for the destruction of crops by an unruly cow, owned by the defendant. De- fendant put in a gencral denial.

Agureg A great deal ot surpriso is manifcsted over the aggrogate of the appropriations of the lute legislature, At the close of the session the newspaper reporters put the aggregate at about §2,000,000, but Auditor Benton's statewent, published the other day after a month of prepuration, puts it at §2,350,525.88, This discrepancy can be aecounted for. Harly in tho session Tie BEE's correspond- ont compicd @ table showing the amount asked for by cach depurtment and state in- stitution, as expressed in their reports to the governor. Theso requisitions aggregated over §2,500,000, and the opicion was ventured thut the appropriation bills, when all in, would exceed £3,000,000 in their demands. As the table was compiled before the jotroduc: vion of Boss Stout's claims for £50,000 aud 15,000, ex-Governor Hutler's roquest for and Thomas . Kennard’s demund , 000, the estiwate was substantially the appropriation bills began to come from the houss the senate insiructed Senator Raymond, of Lincoln, chairman of the committee on finance, 0 ascortain and roport a list of all such biils before the leg islature. ‘The collection of this information was intrusted Lo the clericof Mr, Koy committee, Mr. C. 8.

The statoment made by Senator Iaymond was accepted by senators, and ali concernedy as full and correct, and it was used by everye body as a basis in mmnuunz the nm»mprln tions, The discrepancy botween it ¢ ostimato of Tie Ber carly in the so ml\ \\n explained with the assertions that some of the appropriation bills had been drawn for smaller sums than thoso named in tho ros ports to the governor. The bill for the stal university was mentioned as an oxample, bu it sooms to have boen an_excoption and cam bo accounted for by General MeBrid hostility to the regents. The appropria tions ‘were scattered through two o# threo dozen bills with many hundred items, making yerincation & 1bomots. task, sud Senator Raymond's roport was accopted on all hands rrect. It is well known that tho reductions amounted to about §500,000, so that the bills must have aggregated about threo millions, as estimated in Tne Bee. In tho chaotic state of affairs at the time it is not strange that Senator Raymond's clork should have missed an itom or two, but it is littlo singular that ho should have been short in his computation to the amount of $400,000. 2 In this connoction 1t will bo of Intorest to classify the appropriations and make a com- parison with two years ago, particularly as 8ome pavers have given curroucy to tho states mont that the appropriations exceed those of the precoding legislature. The _lattor amounted to §,722,500,50 as against $2 3 528,88 this year. The appropriations are classified as follows: Miscellancous clatms. § Bt 18 8 Mur o4 Legislativo expenset...

Tho most notable part is the reduction in the con structive aocount of over a half a million, Thore is an advanco in all other departe ments, but the state and the state's business are moving. Tho increase of §75,000 in *ine cidentals,” which fncludes tho maintenance of state institutions, is small when ono cons siders tho increaso in their number and wants, The state board has been visiting the institutiong and putting their affairs on a footing with their allowances. There has been some fear that the Boatrico instituta for feeble-minded children will run short of funds for tho last threo or four months of the biennial poriod, but a member of tha board says it has beon managed on an ex- travagant scale herotofore, At the Lincoln hospital for insano the board have directed the discharge of certain help that will reduce the expense account by about $275 per month. The other institutions are supposed to have allowances large enough to pull through without serfous inconvenience if their manae gers will use reasonablo ecounomy, Successful Joil Break.

In some.way those confined in the “big cago" sccured possession of an old ax, and during the quictest hour of the day, pried open the door and walked into the stroots.

Mitchell called the turn on Sherift Melick, last night, as the incoming Burling- ton passenger train neared Havelock, the fivst station north of Lincoln. Mitchell was wanted here for running off mortgaged prop- erly, and had been arrested at Dakota City, where he was turned over to the sheriff, yess terday morning. The prisoner accompanied Melick so quietly that he was wholly dis- armed, and, biding his time, jumped from -~ the train, and made good his escape, Pursuit was useless, for the darkness of the night made it possible for bim to get into hiding before the train could be stopped.

Sir William answered that the sultan could only live in safety if he put down his harem, not as a question of morals, but as a matter of policy, seeing that 1t was impossible to exercise supervision over an_establishment of 300 ladies and their houscholds, ‘The man who would come to the throne if Abdul_Hamid were deposcd is his brother, iRechad Pasha, who is virtually a prisoner at Yildiz Kiosk, for he canuot go outside tho rden gates without leave and ho never permission to take a walk or drivealone, Iechad is a man of modern ideas, and lately he fell in love with an Inghish girl whom he ting on the Bosphorus,and to whom ho d marriage after a week’s acquaint= Lip. ‘The sultan, hearing of this affair, has nipped his brother's suit in tho bud by ordering the young laay to leave Constantis nople.
