Notary Public. daily AT LAST the master plumbers and journeymen plumbers are coming to their senses. THE voice ig yet to be heard decrying against the coming annexation of South Omaha to Omaha. RECENT storms have been eutting al- together too wide a swath in Nebraska - and Towa grain fields. THe Parnell commission with Par- nell withdrawn is like the play of Ham- let with Hamlet lett out, TiE Omaha city jail and the Chicago river resemble each other in one re- spect. They have smellsin common. IT18 eminently proper that Omaha should extend herauthority in behalf of law and order over the two-mile limit. As caustic letter writers to derelict postmasters, the country will vote tho civil service commissioners to be a great success. MONTANA does not belicve in com- pulsory education. The proposition to introduce such a law in tho constitution was adversely reported upon. :k bas just inaugurated her mining exchange, and now the specula- tion 1 real estate will be transferred to gumbling in mining futures, Toe plans of Gaedener Cleveland are consulted too much and the comfort of the peopie of Omaha too little by the park commissioners with reference to Jefferson square. TURrER of the examining surgeons in the pension bureau at Washington were dismissed by instructions from Secre- tary Noble. It looks as if the re-rating of pensions had gone a little too far. Tue consolidated street railway com- pany should inaugurate its promised transfor system on all its lines. That was one of the inducements which lead the people of this city to acquiesce in the deal, Tue proposed deal for the purchase of the Minneapolis*flour mills by the English syndicate is now understood to bo off, and ten millions of foreign capital will be looking elsewhere for investment. WiLL the council take the hint to provide the board of public works and the stroet commissioner with an emer- gency fund to be used at their o . tion in the repair of streets damaged by sudden rains and floods. GOVERNOR COOPER, of Colorado, has taken o hand in the alleged logislative steal and has instructed the attorney- goneral of the state to proceed at once into a thorough investigation of the gross irregularitios. Now let the fur fly. i recommendations of the commis- sioner of public buldings, that an office building be erected for the use of the president on the white house grounds, will in all probability be favorubly aoted upon. The chief magistrate of this nation should not be obliged to make his private dwelling his work- shov. JuperE COOLEY, of the inter-state commorce commission, in addressing the constitutional convention at Bis- * marck, North Dakota, told the dele- Rates some homely truths concerning the work of constitution building. He . gave them the advice not to legislate too much in the constitution so as to prevent legislatures in the future from meeting the evils that they may be called upon to correct. In the very nature of things something must be left for them to take care of and to put proper restraints upon. Somebody has #ot 1o be trusted in the future, and the attempt to cover every exigency that may possibly arise when: times change snd men change and new counditions arise is simply impossible and imprac- ticable. Judge Cooley does not belicve in tying the hands of the people by iron- clad luws, but feels assured that the enerations of the future will be able to meet the difficulties of legislation fully as well if uot vetter than their ances- tors. THR PROJTRCTED RAILWAY TRUST. The opinion appoars to be general that the formation of a vast raflway trust {s being seriously considered by railroad managers. The plan is not new, it having been first suggested about two years ago. But it did not at that time receive the attention which evidently is now being given to it. It is said that within a short time a con- ference will be held with a view to getting expressions from railrond man- agers’ regarding the expediency and foasibility of combining tho railroad interests and of discussing the proposal o create & trust. Railroad men who bhave talked on the subject show that the great difi- culties in the way are fully appreci- ated, not the least of which is the pop- ular hosulity to trusts, But the advo- cates of this movement profess to be- lieve that if the facts are fully and fairly presented regarding the railroads the opposition will be removed. One of the great objections to existing trusts is the secresy of their management, and the unfair way in which their man- agers treat outside! The advocates of the railway trust propose that it shall not be conducted 1n this way, and that there shall be no effort to deceive the public ns to what is proposed to be done. While oper- ated under the name of a trust the de- sign would be not to permit in its man- agement any of the methods of the trusts as understood to-day. Itgvould be extremely difficult if not impossible, howover fair the promises and appearances, to convince the peo- ple that a railway trust would not pur- sue n policy in the name similarto that which all like combinations pursue. There is of course & national authority to lookinto the conduct and practices of the railroads, and thiz would exercise a regulative and restraining power, but it is hafdly probable it would be so complete and thorough as to wholly prevent the consummation and carr; ing out of schemes in the inte the railroads ard not in that of the public. Tt is quite possible that a rail- way trust would be the one assurance of permanent harmony among the com- peting lines, but the method of secur- ing that harmony would not be tolor- ated. The proposition to put such tre- mendous powers in the hands of a few individuals is too hazardous ever to re- ceive public approval. Moreover, such ascheme is clearly repugnant to the spirit of our institution. To allow such a vast combination of eap- ital us would be vepro- sented in a railroad trust to be manipu od by a foew men, would bea standin and dangerous menace to the country. It could, and probably would, exorcise a tremendous influence in polities and upon legislation, and no well-informed man needs to be told that this would not be exercised in the interests of the people. It is doubtless true that this project is in harmony with a tendency almost universal in the business world, and it is quite possible that more or less progress will be made in this direction until some radical change has taken place in the relations of the railroads to each other and to the puh- lic. But the men who are considering the vroposition for combining the rail- roads of ‘the country in a colossal trust may as well conclude at once that the public would not tolerate a scheme so hazardous te its interests and involving such tremendous powers of abuse, If the wisdom of railroad managers can t find a better way than this to over- come existing difficulties and bring about the harmony which is so obviously nei vy to profitable railroanding, then the attain- ment of these conditions must be regarded as hopeless. A railroad trust with a billion of capital behind it will never be tolerated in this country while the people have the power to pre- vent it, and a serious effort to organize such a trust will incline many more than are at present to favor complete government control of the railronds ay the safest and most certain means of securing their proper management and seving the publie inte A MISIAKE. Tho tendency of the eonstitutional conventions in the new states to insert in the o) aw mattors which woul Po better left to legislation is attracting vorable criticism. In all the con- ventions numerous propositions have boen submitted and favorably reccived, which it would be safer and wiser to omit from the constitutions, leaving the people tree to act upon such questions as future circumstances shall suggest or require. In all conventions of this kind there are wmen who fancy that they have mastered the science of government, and with profound de- votion to their theories they seck to fasten them upon the people in a form most difMcult to change by put- ting them in the organie law. Ordi- nary legislation, if found by experience to be unwise and injurious, is casily got rid of, but objectionable matte , in a constitution can not be removed so readily. Hence the groatest care and wisdom ave required to be exercised in framing an organic law, and in no re- spect is this more necessary than in de- termining what shall be kept outof such law. As we have heretofore said, a state constitution should be framed on broad lines, staving, as far a8 may be, only general principles, deflning righis as clearly and econciselv as possible, and providing for the carrying out of such principles and thoe preservation of such rights by appropriate legislation, This is the plan upon which the national constitution and the constitutions of the older states were framed, and its wisdom and sufficiency have been most amply vindicated. Only in very ex- ceptional cases should a constitution attempt w logislate, The reason for avoiding details and specitio provisions is obvious. A legislative provi- sion erystalized in a constitu- tion remuins there, aud nothing but a constitutional amendment cun change it, no matter how unsuited it may prove t0 be to the needs of the peoplo. But if only the general prin- ciple is declared, a legislature may pass laws in accordaunce with that priuciple, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY JULY 19, 1889, and if a mistako fs made a subsequent legislatura may rectify it. The tondency of the constitution- makers in the new states to abandon the province of merely formulating gonoral political principles and to take up that of statute making should be dis- couraged, otherwise the new constitu- tions will be loaded with matter that ought not to'be in them. The members of these conventions certainly have enough of the experience and ox- ample of tho older states to draw upon 10 enable thom to wisely accomplish the work thoy have in hand. eme—— INTEREST IN AN EXTRA SESSION. It appears that the financial circles of the country are beginning to take an iterest in the question of an extra ses- sion of congress. The continued ex- ports of gold to Europe, the need for currency to mnove the crops, the active gambling in trust certificates and the decrease of bank reserves due to the ex- pansion of credits, is producing a con- dition of affairs in the money market which creates a demand likely soon to become more vigorous forthe release of a portion of the nearly one hundred millions of surplus in the treasury. There is no apprehension of a financial crisis, or of any serious monetary disturbance, hut an uncom- fortable stringency that would be dam- aging to the business of the country is a possibility unless something is done to avert it. As yet the secretary of the treasury has not indicated any intenvion to change his policy in the matter of bond purchases, und very little of the surplus is going out of the treasury for this purpose. It is very probable that he will not offer any better induce- ments to bondholders than he has alroady given unless the exigen- cies of the money market shall justify him in doing so. Neither is it likely that he will *increase the deposits of government money with the banks, in any event. The ‘republican party is clearly committed against the policy of allowing the banks to handle large amounts of the publie money,and hen, the administration can not cousistently adopt this policy. An extra session of congress called for October would of course do nothing to help the money market in the meantime, but the fact that at least n month’s time would be gained, with the roasonable assurance of early legislation for reducing the revenue of the government, and per- haps also the existing surplus, would tend to improve confiaence, and this is only less important than augmenting the supply of money. If the financial and business intevests of the country conclude that they have anything to gain from congress convening a month carlier than usual undoubtedly the president would not hesitate to call an extra session. THE UNION DEPOT. Three months ago public sentiment in this city was almost a unit in favor of voting one hundred and fifty thou- sand, or even two hundred thousand dollars in bonds for a union depot that would accommodate the passenger trains of the roads that converge on both sides of the Missouri river at this point. Whether this depot was to be Dbuilt by the Union Pacific or by a union depot company, was immaterial, pro- iding, always, the prime object of the union depot was carried out. When the mans s of the Union Pa- cific announced that their road, in con- junction with the Burlington, would build such a depot, conditioned upon the city votine bonds equivalent to the cost of constructing the Tenth street viaduct, the project was looked upon with favor. To-day the concensus of opinion ia Omaha is very pronounced against the scheme. The revulsion in public senti- ment is due to the lack of faith in the intention of the Union Pacific railroad company to give Omaha anything more than a local station house. Dr. Miller is perhaps the only promi- nent. citizen of Omaha who believes that the union depot plans will fully meet the wunts of all the roads that may center on hoth sides of the river. Competent builders pronounce the union depot plans a patch-quilt affair, with barely accommodations enough to meet the demands of the roads that have their termini in Omaha now. It does not stand to reason that Omaha would pay a dollar towards the construction of such a depot, even if the proposition for bonds was not coupled with a proviso that the city quit-claim the Union Pacific for all 1ts rights to dispute the title of the present Union Pacific depot grounds whick were donated to that company on condi- tions with which it has never complied. Dr. Miller declares that the road nas done ali that it obligated itself to do for Omaha. But the attorneys of the Union Pacific evidently differ with the doc- tor. Else thoy would not ask the city to make good the title to the Union Pa- cific depot Lots. At the risk of being called to task for referring to ancient history, we recall the fact that every dollar of bonds voted to the road hervetofore, and every lot do- nated to it, was on the faith of the people in the pledges and obligations entered into by the company to establish its union depot at Omaha for the transfer of all business going to and coming from all railroads that terminate at the Missouri river, Omaha would be willing to add to these donations that to-day may be com- puted as aggregating o million and a half, principal and interest, providing that the road would only earry out what it agreed to years ago. Anything less thun that will be repudiated as a delu- sion and a snar LETI THEM COMPETE FAIRLY. It is manifestly desirable that this city should have cheaper and better street illumination. As between gas lights and electric lights the latter should have the preference, other things being equal. But in making the change from gus to electricity the coun- cil should act in accordance with busi- ness principles by inviting competition for a specitic service. + This, a8 we has not been done in giving pref- crence to the Thompson - Hous- ton bid over that of competitors. The Lid of the Thompson-Houston com- vnderstand it pany {8 Swenty-two dollars a year for each lamp 8f sixteen-candle illuminat- ing power. fPhe bid of the gas company which proposes to establish an electric lighting ser#id for Omaba, is twenty- six dollars a yenr for each lamp having o thirty-candls {llaminating power. As between thego fwo bids it would bo dif- ficult to decide which is cheapest. A thirty-candle lamp at twenty-six dollars doubtless gives more light for the money tham a sixteen-candle lamp at twonty-twb dollars, *But the ques- question is, dawe need a thirty-candle lamp? Tt seems to us that the manifest dut of the council is to secure square com- petition on a uniform basis; othorwise, the bidding would be a mere sham. If sixteen candle lamps are ample then competition should be invited om that basis. If it shouuld be deemed desir- able to have some sixteen candle and some thirty ecandle lamps, then the number of each should be specified and competition invited accordingly. Any other method practically has no ele- ment of competition 1u it. AT the last session of the New York legislature radical changes swore made in the prison laws of that state which are attracting widespread attention. The new act creates an entire change in the classification of convicts. They are to be divided into three classes, ac- cording to the degree to which they are tractable. The least vicious are to be associated together and eiven labor that will fit them for an honest trade when they shall have been released from prison. The second grude of con- victs, where the hope of reformation is less promising, is to be employed in the coarser labor of the prison for the pro- duction of useful and valuable objects. As for the 1ncorrigibles, who consti- tute tho third class, they are to be employed solely with reference to the preservation of health, or in the making of such articles as shall be needed in the prisons and public insti- tutions of New York or such manual labor as the supevintendentmay direct, provided it does not conflict with free labor. While machinery is to be per- mitted, the contractsystemis prohibited and in other ways the free labor of the state is protected. These new regula- tions modify the former harsh rules which prohibited any labor whatsoever in the penitentiaries of New York that come in competition with free labor. They commend themsolves for their mtelligent and humane treatment of prisoners when the purpose of fitting them for useful citizenship is not lost sight of. IN all probability a clause will be in- serted in the North Dakota constitution rogulating the disposal of the immense grant of school lands in the state. It provides that none of this land shall be sold for less than ten dollars an acre, that not more than one-fourth of the lands shall be sold within five years, and that one-fourth shall never be sold, but leased. With sugh precautions therve is little danger that the large grant of public school Tands will be squandered or that this heritage will be robbed in the interest of “speculator IT 15 unreasonable to heap unneces- sary burdens upon the street railway companies extending their lines through the city.
