CALVIN BRICE is tho rainbow of promise and poor performance for Dem- ocracy. THE board of trade is in positiom to do a vast amount of good for the city by united and determined action. PERHAPS Hayti is not aware of our murderous resources. Her antics are like those of a mosquito inviting a deadly slap. eE— THE time is rapidly approaching for the submission of the union depot pro- ject. Will the railroads keep their word? THAT million dollar hotel is some- thing more than thin air. A few more fifty thousand dollar subscriptions and it will be a fixed reality. THERE are five thousand and twenty- onemiles of railroad taxed in the state. The number of miles of sidetrack omit- ted will never be known PRESIDENT HARRISON’S order abol- ishiog all Sunday duties for soldiers except the parade for personal inspec- tion, is gratefully accepted by the rank and file. GLADSTONE bears a charmed life. The intrigues of political enemies, the bullets of assassins, and the reckless- ness of cabmen, fail tobeat him down, or disturb his mental strength. INLAND towns in Nebraska and Iowa may well take a lesson from the burning of Seattle and Grinnell. It is poor pol- icy to try to maintain proper fire pro- tection without engines and water. ARMAGH is the Mud Run of Ireland. The railroad disaster there, resulting in the loss of sixty-four lives, wasa piece of criminal carelessness equaling the destructive wreck at Mud Run, Pa., last year. IF the Haytiens are determined to fight, the best thing this government an do is turn loose Rosser and Early. hey have an abundance of jawbone with Which to slaughter the tropical Philistines. CHICAGO has just organized The American Execution company whoso ‘business will be to furnish untrained gherifis with professional hangmen. This may be a grim business but Chi- eago is evidently well supplied with the necessary qualifications. Tne Sioux have dubbed Calico Charley the Brave-Whose-Jaw-Shoots- Far. Whatever be the result of the conference with the Indians, the Hon. Charles Foster, of Ohio, as member of the Sioux commission, will have no reason to complain of his reception.” THE county clerks of Towa are hold- {ng a convention for the purpose of de- Vising a system by which uniform methods of keeping court records will be tsed throughout the state. There is a buggestion here to the county clerks of ebraska who can well profit by \he re- sult of this deliberation. —— ONE million dollars has been ad- vanced by the state treasurer, of Penn- sylvania, for the relief of the Cone- maugh sufferers, and wealthy citizens will be called upon to sign the gov- ernor’s bond for that amount. Let the paper be first passed around to the millionaire members of the South Fork Fishing club. — A corroN mill in Nebraska is one of the possibilities of the.near future. ‘Well, why not? The spindle will spin and the loom will work just as well in Nebraska as in Massachusetts. And, as for climatic conditions best suited for cotton spinning, science may possibly overcome the advantage possessed by the New England coast in this particu- lar. e MINNESOTA wants free intercourse with Canada and especially with her next door neighbor to the north for she purpose of grinding Manitoba’s surulus wheat into flour despite the faot that Canadinn wheat would come into com- potition with the home production, But whon it comes to buylug dressed beaf from Nebrasku, Kansas or lllinois, Min- mnesota draws the line in order to “‘pro- A" her own local cattle growers, esota is o jewel of consistency. THR FIRST CONVIOTION. Less attention than it morits has been given to the first conviction on criminal indictment under the inter- state commerce act. The case was that of the United Stases (for the Hayward Grocery company) against George K. Tozier, agent of the Missouri Pacific railroad company, and it was tried be- fore Judge Thayer, at Hannibal, Mo. The question was as to whether a dis- crimination in the rate charged the grocery company on & local shipment of sugar was unjust in comparison to o lower provortionate rate charged on a through shipment of a similar con- signment of sugar for a much longer distance. The difference between the loeal rate charged by the Missouri Pacific and that company's praportion of the through rate was twelve conts, and the court instructed the jury that if they found this an undue and unreasonable dilference thoy should convict, The jury found that, in their judgment, the difference was undue and unreasonable, and returned u veraict of guilty. Amendaments were made to the inter- state commerce act by the last congress which impose heavy penalties of fine and imprisonment, and make them thoroughly effective by summary judi- cial process. The law was thus changed to a stringent penal statute, under which the railronds must obey or face the consequences of criminal prosecu- tion. Before the passage of these amendments the instructions to freight agents and other employes wore to obey the law as far as possible, but to get the business at all hazards. Now the instructions are rather to avoid the danger of prosecution under the luw, whatever the effect on the business. The law will be fairly tested under these changed condititions, the case in Missouri being a precedent that will very likely be widely followed where merchants discover that they are being discriminated against. The in- fluence of this first conviction in inducing greater cave on the part of railroad officials to avoid infractions of the iaw must also be wholesome. The iact that the law was in operation for more than two years without an attempt having been made to enforce its penal provisions tonded to create an impres- sion that these provisions would remain inoperative. This feeiing will now ba given up, and railroad officials conclude that they are not to be allowed to enjoy special immunity from punishment when they deliberately violate the law. When they shall have fully realized this the operation of the inter-state com- merce act will become much more effective. Meanwhile it is under- stood that the commissioners have promised to co-operate with the prose- cuting officers of the government in en- forcing the penal sections of the law, and the country will probably not have long to wait for a thorough test of the constitutionality of the law dnd the meaning and validicy of its disputed provisions. WARNING TO THE UNION PACIFIC. The enormous number of passengers handled promptly and safely by the bridge motor trains yesterday is strong proof of the benefits of cheap and con- venient transit between Omaha and Council Bluffs, It isastriking illustra- tion of the good results of the liberal policy adopted by the bridge company. Low tolls mean increased patronage and greater profits. This has been proven so often that it has become a fixed prin- ciple in railway management. 'The construction and operation of the wagon bridge and motor line have revo- lutionized the business and social rela- tions of the people of the twin cities. The Union Pacific, heedless of all complaintsand protests, kept the wwo cities apart for years by a stand-and-de- liver policy. Instead of encouraging commercial freedom between the two states, it places an embargo on traffic and forces it to seek other markets where tribute is not levied at the thres- hold. This system of commercial piracy can not last. The company must encourage business by a generous reduction . of tolls, or it will soon suffer a reduction of traffic. 'What the wagon bridge ac- complished for local trade, another rail- road bridge will accomplish for general traffic. A MONOPOLY DEFEAT. A case possessing general interest, because it resulted in the defeat of the greatest monopoly in the country, was recently decided by Judge Jackson, in the United States court at Nashville, The Standard Oil company supplies natural gas to Toledo at an agreed price of twelve and a half cents per one thou- sand cubic feet, but it virtually charges what it pleases. The people of Toledo became convinced that they wera pay- ing excessive rates, and they obtained from the legislature an act authorizing the city to issue bonds for borrowing money to construct pipe lines to connect the city with natural gas wells, The preliminary steps to this arrange- ment were vigorously fought by the Standard company, and finally it ap- plied to the United States circuit court for an order restraining the city of Toledo from issuing bonds, The com- pany did not bring its suit in Ohio, but went all the way to Nashville. Its de- feat, however, was quite as complete as it could possibly have suffered in Ohio, the judge promptly refusing to grant the order asked for. The result will be the absolute ndependence of Toledo, but more than this it will show the other communitius being supplied with natural gas by the Standard the exac- tions to which they are subjected by the monopoly. The suceess of Toledo will very likely lead the people of other places to demand more {avcrabie terms of the Standard or vhey will seek relief w the way Toledo has done. The won- der is that the shrewd attorneys of the Standard did not sce this as the possi- ble oftcome of an oxposure of the mo- nopoly’s mathods. *In itself the To- ledo entarprise,” vemarks the Cincin- nati Compisreial-Gazette, *'is aot a big one, bat it will prove an object lesson for tho whole country. It will show the open door through which people may pass frem under the yoke of u most gigantic, unserupulous and odious mo- rovolution that is as sure to come as that which followed the throwing over- board of a lot of toa in Boston harbor: Neither the power nor the vulgarity of | capital can long rule the people.” A GOOD FOREIGN EXAMPLE. Trke wrecking of part of a railroad ox- cursion train in Ireland on Wednesday, resulting in the death of alarge number of cnildren and others, led to the prompt arrest not only of the men in charge of the train, but also of the traflic managers and clerks, There was no waiting for a coroner’s jury to inves- tigate and report. There had taken place a terrible disastor for which some- body was responsible, and the way to fix {he responsibility was to take into cus- tody all who could have anything whatever to do with the direction or control of the ill-fated train. "Of course all who were arrosted will not be punished. Undountedly most of thom had nothing to do with dirvecting the train. But they have been takon care of in a way that will enable the authorities to get at the bottom facts and to speedily know whoso stupidity or carolessnoss is chargeable with the very sad calamity. Theexample is worthy of general imi- tation. The great majority of railrond tsare due to gross carelessness or usable plundering, and very ofien it is the higher officials who are most to blame. But these are never held to an aecountability, at least in this country. Thors have boon instances of the arrest of en- gineers and conductors, but none where the men high in authority have been required to show why they should not b held to soma responsibility for avoid- able disasters. The Irish magistrato proceodod wisely and justly. o doos not expect to convict eyeryboly whom he summoned bafore him, but the par- ties who deserve conviction will be more easily and suvely reachod than would parhaps bo the case if ho had simply placed the trainmen in custody, who, as tho circumstances seem to show, are not wholly rosponsible for the disaster. THE republican governor of Connec- ticut, having followed the example of the democratic governor of New York in vetoing a ballot reform bill con- structed after the Australian method, he has been sharply criticized by re- publican journals and as warmly com- mended by democratic organs. Thus the Now York Sun refers to him as “a true statesman,” while it character the members of the legistature who voted to pass the bill overthe veto as a ‘‘venomous crowd.” The motives of the two governors were unquostionably widely different, and Governor Bulk- eley, of Connecticut, must, in fairness, be credited with having acted from a conscientions convic- tion that the proposed law was unwise and would do far more harm than good. His reasons for veto- ing it are forceful, and it does not necessarily detract from them becanso in some vespects they arc similar to reasons given by Governor Hiil for his axton bill. The trath is, long ago said, the manin read over the country for the tralian method of voting had very little sound judgment in it. It consid- ered very little, if at all, the difficulties in the way of adjusting that method to our political s m, being content with the assumption thut becauss it had worked well in the land of its origin it must necessarily do so he It is not questioned that the mothod has good features, but as a whole weo greatly doubt whether it could besuccossfully applied here. Tverybody agvees thut there is need of reform & our election methods, but a great many thoughtful people do not believe it -nocessary to import u system framad to meet poli cal conditions different from those which prevail here. Toe city ordinance requiring the street car companies to pay in advance for pavement taken up 1is neodlessly burdensome and unjust. The compunios are entitled to equal treatment with property owners on abuting streets. 1f pavement has been in use oneror more years before tracks ave laid on the street, it is manifestly unfair to charge the original cost. A more equitable way is to charge apro rata of the cost, basing the life of the pavement at ten years and deducting one-tenth for each year’s wear before the street is occupied by the railway. Payment can be ex- acted from the companies in annual in- stalments. But they can not hope to escape their share of the cost. Under the old law they evaded paying the cost of “paving by waiting till the street had been paved a year, thus throwing the entire burden on the property owners. The charter explicitly provides that they shall puy for paving between their tracks, and the city council should not be swerved by threats from carrying out the intent and purpose of the law. Corporations are entitled to equal treat- ment with individuals, but favoritism should not be tolerated. TRADE journals are pointing out the fact that while the construction of rail- roads for lust year was only about one- half as much as in 1837, nevertheless more iron was used in 1888 than in the year previous. This is accounted for on the ground that iron has come into general use, especially in the building trades, where vast quantities are con- sumed. It would, moreover, indicate that-the demands of the railroads no longer control the iron market, and that the price of that commodity is regu- lated through other ctannels, GRINNELL, Iowa, an unfortunate town.

OMAHA is a rich field for investments. Capitalists of New York, Boston and Philadelphia are not slow to see these opportunities and profit by them: A Boston syndicate has offered to make a 5% per cent loan on one of the fire proof buildings of Omaha. ———ee RAILS have been distributed ovegthe Lleventh street viaduct and South Eleventh street. The question is will they be left to rust and impede travel for months to come or will the street car companies build and operate their lines immediately as they have prom- ised to do.

At tho meot- ing of tho bonrd of regents, which concluded to-day, it was deemed best to mako no eall to the chancellor's chair.
