Tnr Union Pacific-Northwestern alli- ance sot the paco for the ratlroads of the country, and they are following the. Iead with all possible speed. Wi all due respect for the contend- ing parties, we suggest that the lawyers file their political briefs in courtand let the case go to the jury of voters without prejudice. IT was a fortunate cirecumstance for Omaha that the fulsome local orator was not permitted to unload himsell to any serious extent on the defenseless Pan-Americans, Ti1E boom is s0 great in the capital of South Dakota that the city council holds sossions seven days in the week and an extra on Sunday night to keep local log- islation up with the times. TuEe fact that the county footed the bill of Bill Turner’s junket to New York with a demented pauper strenghthens the suspicion that tho county did not sond the right party to the asylum. THE labor organizations of the city vigorously denounce and repudiate the alleged trade union ticket gotten up by a gaug of political workingmen to fleece candidates. Honest workingmen can- not bo led into a trap by mercenuries. ——— Tue belief that imprisonment for debt had been wiped from the statute books of all the states is a mistake. In- lightened Massachusctts claims the dis- tinction of perpetuating this barbarous rolic of colonial days, and has im- prisoned George Francis Train for fail- ing to pay his obligations. GENERAL VAN WYCK sounds the keynote of the irrepressible conflict whon he urges the necessity of united political adtion on the part of the pro- ducers and working classes. The “cor- porate monopolies are always alert and organized. The many reforms effected by the anti-monopolists in state affairs will soon become Dead Sea fruit unless mon enlist in a common cause and pre- sent a bold and united front, — Tue dismissal of Professor Billings and the abandonment of the state hog cholera infirmary did not exhaust his stock of virus. He is now vigorously engaged injecting bacteria into the op- ponents of his theories. In a recent pamphiet he describes the editors of “thoe medical press as *‘erudite old fogies and monuments of conceited respecta- bility,” and bombastically declaves that, “fearing no power this side of the grave or beyond it,” he proposes to slaughter his opponents as expeditiously as his cholera cure emptied the hog pens of Nebraska. Dr. Billings is a dangerous man to trifle with—when his syringe is loaded with live germs. —— Tue proposed; constitution of New Mexico will compare favorably with any of those of the new states, or, for that matter, of the old states, As evidence of the intelligence and good judgment of its framers, itis all that could be desived. But something more than a wisely-constructed constitution is necessary to make a state, If New Mexico’s population was less hetero- geneous than it is, if it did not contain s0 large an admixture of people who koow little of our political system and are not in sympathy with what they do know of it there would be less objection to giving the territory statehood. Bup thisis a just ground of objection, and it is sup- plemented by the fact that her material development is not such as to warrant ber people in assuming the responsibil- ities of statehood. Let her constitution, which will keep, be laid away until she hus the conditions of population and de- veloped resources sufticient to take her place among the sisterhood of states with the assurance of beingatle to hou- orably maiutain it ARE TRUSTS ON THE WANE? There are signs of renction from the trust movement. Whether induced by economic considerations, the force of publie opinion or the apprehension of "logal consequonces, two of the great trusts of the country are contemplating n change of organization. The Amer- jean cotton seed oil trust, which ante- dates all others except the Stand- ard, has taken steps to abandon the trust plan and - to bocome incorporated under the laws of New Jersey, Thiseoncern hasa certificate capital of about forty-two million dol- lars, and it is composed of a number of corporations, principally located in the sonthern states. All these properties have within a few months been trans- ferred in order to avoid proceedings against them in these states, such as were taken in New York against the sugar trust. The organization is de- signed to place the oil company on a plain legal and commercial basis, where its management will be open for the inspection of share- holders, and its business and methods must be according to the requirements of lnws governing corporations, On the first of the coming month there will be a meeting of certiiicato holders to consummate the reorganization, after which date it is expected the American cotton seed oil trust will be a thing of the past. It is reported that the sugar trust is making preparations to pursue a similar course. The decision of Judge Barrett in New York, in the proceedings taken agoinst one of the corporations of the sugar trust, in. Wwhich he hel1 that 1ts charter had been forfeited and that it should go into the hands of a receiver, has not yet been passed upon by the general term of the su- preme court, to which appeal was taken, but it is commonly expected dint the decision will be sustained. I that case all the corporations in the trust have incurred the same penalty, and it would simply be necessary for the attorney geueral to proceed against them in order to throw all of them into the hands of receivers and thus destroy the trust. It is quite probable, therefore, that in anticipation of such an outcome the trust managers ave preparing to reor- gunize on a legal basis. 1f (ke deeision of Judge Barrett shall be sustained, scveral other trusts having in their or- ganmization corporationschartered under tho laws of New York, and doing bus ness in that state, will be not less vul- nerable than the sugar trust, and un- doubtedly proccedings against them would be promptly taken. Tt thus appears probable that the coun- try is soon to see a general abandonment, of the trust plan. A stock- holder in the cottonseed oil company, referring to the proposed re- organization, said: “You can depend upon it this move is significant. Other trusts will follow us, They can’c avoid it; it is a business necessity. The American policy won’t stand trusts. Trusts generally have got to go.” Tt is reassuring to find that the organizers of combinations to control the produc- tion of the country, suppress compoti- tion and fix the prices of commoditics, are discovering that they can not sue- ceed against public sentiiaent and a faithful administration of the laws. The principle being once established, as it has been asserted in Now York, that corporations deriving their powers and privileges from the state cannot transfer them to irre- sponsiblo parties of whom the state has no knowledge, and such combinations as are defined by the title trusts will cease to exist. Thus far the decisions of the courts regarding trusts ave uniform, and if the general term of the supreme court of New York shall sus- tain the decision in the lower court it will be generally accepted as almost conclusive against this form of com- bination finding legal supportanywheve. There may be combination in trade after the trusts, but it will have legal stutus and responsibility, and its business and methods will be subject to the control and vegulation of law LANDING OF CANRIDATES. The Washington correspondentof the Chicago Tribune has made a canvuss as to the standing of the five pronounced candidates for speaker of the next house of representatives. The result shows that no one of them has a support that j es him in counting upon success ssured, and that there is certain to be a very interesting contest, with a “dark horse” as a possibilit; There will be one hundred and sixty-nine votes in the republican caucus, making. eighty-five necessary to a choice. The probable strength of the can- didaces now named at the outset, as in- dicated by preseat expressions of pref- erence, is given as follows: Reed, fifty- nine; McKinley, filty-four; Cannon, thirty-one; Burrows, thirteen; Hender- son, twelve. Is thus appears that the Maine aud Ohio candidatesare very close togother, and if they can hold their strength as agninst each other one of the other can- didates may ultimately be chosen. It is believed that Reed is more likely to lose than guin votes. It is doubt- ful whether he can hold the New York ' support now promised hiw, und’ there is some doubt as to what Pennsylyvania will finally do, the pref- erences of her representatives being now almost equally divided betwecn Reed and McKinley. Tt is certain that the Mainpe man can not hope for much western support, owing to his uniform opposition to silver. McKinley’s sup- port is thought to be more reliable than Reed’s, but he is said to be strongly op- posed by Senator Quay, which may re- sult in drawing from him some of the Penusylvania votes now promised him, probably in the intervest of Reed, though the senator is understood to be quite friendly to Bur- rows, Cannon’s hope appears to be that the west will finally rally to him, but it is not certain that he will be able to Lold the delegation of his own state, while Burrows is ocounting somewhat upon getting a large part of the Reed support in the event that it shall be demonstrated that the Maine man can- not win, Henderson, as now appears, will start in at the rear, but he may not remain in that position. The indications ure that when the contest comes on 1t will develop more or loss soctionnl feeling between the east and west, which would give the former some advantage owing to the fact that it has but one candidate. Such a situa- tion might improve the chances of Hen- derson as a compromise. —_— WHATARTHUR'S ELECTION MEANS The re-election of Mr. Arthur as grand chief of the Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Engineers is equivalent to an announcement that this great body of workingmen will in the future be gov- erned as in the past. The same policy will without doubt be pursued that has charactevizod the organization during rocent years under Mr. Arthur's leader- ship—fighting whon thero was no war, and maintaining a peaceful attitude when & strugglo for supremacy was in progress. Arthur’s rulé has been called conservative., but its con- servatism has been such as to delight the honrts of the railroad managers while calling for devunciution from those members of the order who were batuling for their rights. Another result of the Arthur victory will probably bo the defeat of the scheme for federation with other or- ganizations of railway employes. a measure which it was hoped would greatly benefit the con- dition ot all concorned. By thewr action the engineers have declared that thoy are able to *go it alono,” and shall expect all other or- ganizations to do the some. It is to be regretted that a more pro- gressive spivit did not manifest itself at the Denver meecting, and instead of moving along in the old lethargic man- ner, the order had chosen a chief who would not havo allowed the organiza- tion to retrograde BIAZEN IMPOSTURE. Commissioner O'Keeffe ean wellafford to stand the bruntof attack from an organ of his party which is piloted by notorious counfidence men. His attitude in opposition to paying the feaudulent bill for publishing the delinquent tax. list 18 in the interest of tax-puyers nnd will be approved by every lonest citizen. It was a monstrous imnosition upon the people of this county to designate a veaderless paper the medium for publishing the official business of a county with a povulation of oue hun- dred and fifty thousand. The guaranty of two thousand cirvculation, which scarcely would reach onc persou out of seventy-five, was in itself a barefaced swindle. Up to the beginning of the present campaign the have two hundred bona « in the county. Aud bold to assert thut upon a tesi in courts the publication of the t that sheet would be pronounced invalid. The law expressly provides that the tax list shall be published in a paper having general cireulation in the county. & The plain intent of the law is that the ofti hall have a cir- culation in ¢ yecinet of the county. “The bog as the official organ of y had any circulution Omaha, and the two thousand cop the tax list were not circulated to sub- seribers but merely thrown around pro- wiscuously in toy Does this consti- tute general publication?

The whole thing has becn a piece of brazen imposture from beginning to end, and Mr. O’Keefle will not have to apologize for opposiug it. t figures has outside THE PiTH OF THE MATTER. Tur Bee, in an uncalled for and black- guard attack upon the Young Men’s Christian Association, refers to the latter’s choice of the World-Herald as the paper to print the official report of the state convention as *an fnsult to the press.” Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. *The vicious attitude of Tug Bee at the advauces made by the World-Herald onl s the de- cudence of what was a gre of news- paper property at one time. One cannot witness sueh decay without profound sor- To World Herald. In what buke, which ) ministered to the overbearing loc secretury of the Y. M. C. A.,a blackguard attack upon the asso- ciation? What excuse can this officious person or anybody connected with the management of the recent convention give for the un for diserimination against any particular paper, and es- pecially against THE BEg, which has done more to promote the erection of the Y. M. C. A. building in Omaha than any other ngency. From the inception of this structure to the present day the columus of THE BEE were not only at all times open to the managers of the Y. M. C. A. for appeals to the public, but the editor contributed money und wrote editorial upon editorial to stimu- late the euterprise. Other Omaha dailies which wore active in promoting the Y. M. C. A, project were treated in the same discourteots wanner and deprived- of information that should have been furnished to all alike. That Mr. Hiteheock is a member of the ssocintion is immaterial, Thousands of dollars were sucscribed and paid over to the Y. M. C. A. by people who wore not mombers. It came with ill grace on the part of the secre- tary to exclude any Omaha daily from privileges that should bave beea open to all, The profound sorrow which our enter- prising contemporury experiences over the decadence of Tue BrE is slightly premature. The condition of THE BEg does uot entitle it to any sympathy from that quarter. Its patronage has not been seriously affected by the brib- ery of trainboys or the disfavor of tlho secretary of the Y. M, C, A, THE BEg is holding its own very comfortably, Itscondition has been an open secret. It is st1ll the only paper in Omaha that keops its patrons fully informed about its subscription list from day to day and week to week. It has not experienced a land slide like that which has borne down the World-Herald and reduced it'to a mere skeleton in pont of circulation. THE BEE needs no Y. M. C. A. props to keep it from decadence. It has the audacity and nerve to resent insults even at the risk of iucurring the displeasure of the the has respect Tui was B re- ad- coterie™Mit sold out the oficial organ grinding of the late convention of the Y. M. O TrE tMing cost of the proposed via- duct over the Missouri Pacific tracks on west Leavenworth stroet ought to re- move oppbsition to & much needed im- provemetrt. Tho total outlay is estimati- mated at tivelve thousand doliars, one- fourth of which the county will pay, making the cost to the railroad the in- significant sum of eight thousand dol- lars. The construction of the viaduct carries with it a donation to the city of fifty acros.of ground for park purposes. This valuable consideration will mater- inlly enhance the value of surrounding property and make that section disirable for home builders, thus increasing tho number of patrons of the railroad. This incrcused patronage would in a few years reimburse the compnny for the outlay and mnke it a profitable inv ment. Apart from these considerations, there are others which the council should bear in mind. Leavenworth street is ono of the main thoroughfaves of the city and county. The railroad crossos the stroet at the foot of a steep hill, which makes it extremely danger- ous to the peeple going to and from their homes, and to the thousands visit- iing the adiacent cometery. The mat- ter is now in the hands of a committee of the council. The members should consider it in the light of a measure of pubtic snfety and order the viaduct to be built. GUY A. BROWN, whose death at Lin- | coln is announced, has long heen a familiar fignre in the highest court of the state. As clork of th court almost since its organization, endeared himsell to the legal profes- sion as well as to litigants as a teous, painstaking and conscien official.

Tt was par- pated in by represcntatives of a number arge cities and a score of states were also represented ut the banquet board. Mr. Perry S. Heath, Wasington correspondent of Tk Bee, had been delezated by the governors of the two Dakotas to voice the choxce of those states. Ho did so in the following language: “For the two Dakotas, and speaking in be- half of Governor Mellette, their present chief ecutive and governor-elect of tho state of South Dakota, L will say that when the na- tional capital presents 10 congress her claims for the location of the world's exposition, she will bave no more ardent, steadfast, or ef- fective friends than those I stand hero to present to-nignt. When Washington bas secured the exposition and is engaged tnak- ing up her exhibits, which are to elec the visitors from the four quarters of globe and to impress them awith the intelli- gence, enterprise aud wealth e% he Ameri- cau people, no states wilt confribute moro cheurfully or substantiaily than the Dakotas. They have led all of the states and territories during the past de in_immigration development, and they will lead in this en- torprise. When the exposition opens 1o the view and the admiration of the world there will be found no people located at a like dis- tance who will attend in greater numbers than tne citizens of the Dako! “I believe the books of the secretary of this organization shows that, 1n proportion to population, Dalota has given more sym- pathy and support to the movement for the establishment of a world's exposition in ‘Washington than any state or territory.

Thoso who love to"flonndor in the ooean of abstruse problems and theories are treatod to an exhaustive volume entitled, “The Key of Theosophy,” by H. P. Blovatsky, and issned by W. Q. Judge, New York. The volume traces in dinloguo form the broad outlines of theosophy or ‘“divino wisdom,' which of late has attractea considerabls attention and_some derision. The author declares that theosopy’s not a religion in the modorn scnse, but divine knowledge or scionce; 1. o., tho wisdom of the gods.
