A FEDER LECTION A move for a federal election law has ready been made by the introduction in the senate of bills to make and alter the regulations as to the time, placeand manner of holding elections for ropre- sentatives in congress. The details of these mensures are not at hand, so that we cannot say whother they pro- pose a radical change from the existing system in the election of repre- sontatives, or merely a strengthen- ing and extension of the law, as recom- monded by the president in his mes- snge. The constitution gives congress abso- lute power to devolve on the general government the whole direction and control of the election of members of the house of representatives, The language of the fundament law is: “The times, plac 1d manner of hold- g elections for nd representatives shall preseribed in each state by the logisin- ture thereof, but the congress may at any time. by law, muke alter such regulations, except as to tho places of choosing senator The question is as to how far congress may wisely go in giving the general government direc- tion and control of the election of rep- resentatives, In discussing this ques- tion the president suggested that it might be sufficient to strengthen and oxtend the present law, which gives only a partial and qualified suporvision of these elec- tions, and expressed the opinion that this would sccurs, on the whole, better results than can be attained by alaw taking all the processes of such clections into federal control. It is not to be doudbted that the con- servative sentiment of the country will approve this view. No one will question that President Harrvison as strongly de- sives ns any vepublican to secure in evary portion of the country a full and fair expression of the popular will in the election of members of the house of representatives, or that he is not as anxious as any member of his party that colored citizens shall everywhere bo protected in their polit- L vights. His language in treating this matter is clear and explicit, and he fully recognizes the fact that the wrong done in depriving alarge portion of the coloved people of their political rights is a national wrong. *“The wrong,” he remarks, “does not expend itself upon those whose votesare suppressed. fivery counstitueney in the union is wronged.” But while fully apprecinting the na- ture and oxtent of the evil, and the urgent necessity there is for removing it, the president makes it obvious that he isnot at all in sympathy with the views of those extremists who demand that the full power of the government should be exerted, even to the extent of employing troops at the.polls, in directing and controlling the elec- tion of representatives in congress. He is evidently not disposed to aban- don all hope in the growth of a sense of justice and of respect for law among those who are respounsible for the political wrongs justly complained of, and he is not willing to experiment with u policy that might prove exasperating, and the enforcement of which would be likely to severely strain the peacefal condi- tions which all patriotic citizens desire to see perpetuated. The conservative position of the pres- ident regarding this question, the grave importance of which all must recognize, is assurance that no ex- treme views will prevail. It is to be expected that congress will conform its action to the sugeestions of the presi- dent, but should it not do so there can be no doubt that he will have the firm- ness to prevent any legislation of so radical a nature as to invite evils quite as sevious as those it is now desired to cure. senators be IMMIGRATION. 1t appears that there is to be another attempt in congress to impose addi- tional restrictrons upon immigration. Neither the volume nor charicter of recent immigration offers any reason for additional restrictions. The per- sistent demand for them comes from sources which are_ often potent with politicians. While the South Ameri- can countries are offering the most liberal inducements to the beoples of Furope to emigrate, we are devising measures that will make it more diffi- cult for them to come to the United States, The question is, has this coun- try attained all the growth and devel- opment it is capable of? During the year ending June 80, 1889, the number of immigrants who entered the United States was in round figures four hundred and twenty-two thousand, and of these only seven hundred and eighty-seven were returned under the law which prohibits the landing of any conviet, lunatic, idiot or any person une able to take care of himself or herselfl without becoming a public charge. This 1s certainly a very satisfactory showing as to the character of the im- migrants. It is possible that the law was not as efficiently enforced as it should be, but this fact would not show that it is mot ample for our pro- tection against an invasion of ob- jectionable classes from abroad if faithtully administered. And cer- tainly this can be done. The present policy of leuving the execution of the law to state agencies, under contracts with the secvetary of the treasury, is unwise. The secretury says it results in grave dificulties. Disputes avise as to the respective jurisdictions of na- vional and state authorities, and there has been ample evidence showing that some of these state commissions grossly wrong both the governmeut and the immigrants, They have great opportunities to do both, and an investigation of the method of the New York board disclosed the fact that there at least the opportunities have for years been freely improved. The entire busi- ness reiating to immigration should be assumed by the general government. It isa purely national aftair, and ought to be attended to exclusively by the' n tional government. The secretary of the treasury recommends that this be done, and congress should heed thesug- gestion, The demand for additional restric- tions upon immigration is purely selfish. 1t is essentially unputriotic, siuce it not only antagonizes the policy of the gov- ernment from its foundation, but pro- poses to put & check upon the future growth of the country in population. Those who urge this policy are moved only by the thought of present advant- age to themsetves, indifferent to the future development of the country and never reflecting that had such a policy prevailed in the past the United States would not be the wealthy, powerful and prosperous nation it is. For the de- sirable ¢ sof the old world—those who now constitute the most industr ous, thrifty and sélf-reliant portion of our people—there is still abuudant room, and they should be given all proper encourngement to come. The existing law is ample for excluding those who are undesirable, and all that cougress need do is to make adequate provision for its thorough enforcement. THE DOG-IN-THE-MANGER SPIRIT, The defeat of the market house prop- osition is another striking illustration of the narrow minded, dog-in-the- manger spirit which prevails in this community to an extent that positively clogs the progress of the ci When- ever any public enterprise is projected there are always scores of people ready to fight it because it will benefit some- body. When the city hall was located the stock 1n trade of its opponents was that it would benefit Rosewater and THE B This class of mossbacks never took into account thav the city was benefitted fully as much by the con- struction of the largest and most ele- gant newspaper building in the world uext to the city hall site. So with the market house proposition. Most people blindly opposed it because, they said, it would benefit Fred Gray, William Wallace, Max Meyer, John A. Wakefield and other stock- holders of the exposition building. Nearly all admitted that we wanted a market house: that it would be of incal- culable benefit to the city; but they would not take the exposition building off the hands of the owners for sixty- five thousand doilars, although its cost was nearly one hundred thousand and the building was well adapted for a, market house. The fact that these public-spirited men constructed the exposition building for the public and not as a private money-making speculation was entirely forgotten. The fas that Omaha has been advi sed largely through their enterprise was not taken into account. But the masses (them asses) were arrayed against the proposition by demagogues, who insisted that this was a job and that the city should buy a square and build a new market house on it. Now a square anywhere near the bus- iness centre would cost not less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and the cheapest market building fifty thousand dollars. The Planters’ house postollice square costs four hundred thousand. The city cannot at this time, and for several years to come, vote three hundred thousand dollars for a market house, but they could have profitably set aside sixty-five thousand in bonds for the exposition building and had a market house ready for use this winter. They would have had a lease of the ground for twentv years at six per cent on the appraised valuation. Under the charter they could have condemned the ground at any time and by paying for it acquired a clear title. Five years hence there will not be a single square in the city unoccupied by store buildings and warehouses costing from fifty thousand Gollars to two hun- dred thousand dollars that would have to be paid for and pulled down, ToE BEE indulges in this ret:ospec- tive view of the market question merely to show to what extent we are ham- pered by the mean, small-bore spirit of people who are always opposing needed public improvements because they are mortally afraid thatsomeboey will profit by 1t. THEM GO SLOW. The law governing the issue of school district bonds only requires a majority of the votes cast on any proposition to make tke bonds valid. While the total vote on the school bond proposition voted for at tha city election is only about sixty per centof the total vote cast for the city ticket,the bonds never- theless have carried. Itis to be hoped, however, that the board of education will not attempt in the face of public opinion to trade off the Hartman school and buy a school house site within a few blocks of it for a new school house, This is manifestly a speculative job, Thero is no nocessity for sclling the Hartman school and this is no time to sell it, The whole scheme bears evidence of jobbery on its face, The board has enough leowny for real cstate deals already, Thefact that it has overdrawn thirty thousand dol- lars in the orection of other school buildings will warrant proceed ngs in the courts if @ halt is not called. The taxpayers will be compelled to invoke the interference of the courts’ to pro- tect them. The mere fact that the board derives a large revenue from the license law affords no excuse for reck- less waste or real estate spoeculation on the part of the board. THERE is a painful lack of harmony in the opinions of the lower Douglas street hyphen. One side of the sheet insists that the defeat of Lininger was due to republicans “who were deter- mined that no man who was even sus- pected of being a friend of Rosewater should warm the seat of a mayor of this city, and we have the result.” The opposing section of the staff boldly asserts that *the republicans of the state consider this argument a poor one, Out of town republicans utterly disbelieve this. The idea is—give even the devil his due—that instead of Rosewater being held up as a dictator, in this par- ticular case, he should be creditea by reason of his later work, as the true and loyal supporier of the republican nomi- nee—the nominee of bis party in con- vention assembled.” The fighting edi- tor should adjourn the discordaut ele- ments to a back room and hammer aschmatic unison into the staff, THERE ave strong grounds of objec- tion to the government continuing the fur-seal monopoly now eujoyed by the Alaska commercial company. The loaso of thaseempany will expive in a few month Some other way of dis- posing of this valuable privilege, moro advantageouds to the government, should bo femgll. The statutes author- /0 the sdyrftary of the treasury to leaso the esclusive right to take fur senls in €'Pohring sen to re- spousible ties for a period of twenty years, at an an- nual rantal of not less than fifty thou- sand dollars agd a revenue tax of two dollars upohi riwh fur-seal skin taken during the continuance of the lease. Under this arrangement the Alaska company has grown enormous'y rich, and it exercises as much power over Alaska and the natives as the East India company onee exercised over the native population of Tndia. It has been shown to be of the most despotic and exacting character, but even if this were not the easo such a monopoly of trade is in violation of the fair and im- partial spirit of this government. SECRETARY NOBLE comes to the res- cue of the Pacif ailroads by arguing in favor of an extension of the debt. He says the government is insufficiently secured and should thevefore deal leni- ently with the comparies by respecting their wishes. If thers was a possibility of the companies paying the debt in half a century thero would be some force to the argument. The debts are so groat that even without competition the com- nunies could not meet thoir obligations, It is a scheme to boost the value of stock and enable the Boston holders to un- load at a profit. It s rank injustico to saddle the productive industries of the west with the enormous debts piled up by the Credit Mobilier and Central Pa- cific octopus, These corporations have fleeced the government and the people. They should be held strictly to the let- ter of their contracts, and the producers of the trans-Missouri relieved of the onerous exaction which an extension of redit will necessitate. — E London Zimes expresses that “tho western do mot vrevolt against the exactions of taxation for the benefit of the cotton workers of the Atlantic vicd from that quarter isentively gratu- itous. The London Zimes never has been known to be friendly to this coun- try. When secession and rebellion were rampant in the south the 7imss gave encouragement to the enemy in the hope that the dissolution of the union would redound to England’s advantage.

Wo still maintain that the republicans have elected four out of the nine councilmen, and will have control of the organiza- tion of the next counal. THE amateur journalist of the W.- I, claims tobe very well satisfied with the outcome of the election. But he is not as happy over itas he would like to have people believe. Asa non- partisan ho was very enthusiastic for Rush in the W.-H., but as direc- tor of one of the banks in the MeShane pool he was for MeShane. Way down deep in the recesses of his pocketbook he feels very sore. IPOR the first time in fifteen years the republican pacty has complete control of the ecxecutive and legislative branches of the government. The re- sponsibility for zood or bad legislation cannot be divided with the democrats. It is within the power of the party to continue in control of the government by enacting laws which insure “the greatest good for the greatest number.” Mi.
