In to give the cant 1 status, the house placed it in the army appropriation bill and au- thorized the sale of maltand vinous lig- uors, In the senate this provision, after a protracted debate, was stricken out | and a elause inserted forhidding the sale | of liquors at any army post or in any | building within the boundaries of any militavy post. The discussion of this in tho senate developed a large | mass of opinions from officers of the | army regarding the merits and demer- | its of the canteen, the weight of which | was favorable to the system. The re- ports generally from the posts at which it has been established show that the canteen has been not only a great con- venionce to the enlisted men, but that it | has boon instrumental in improving the movals of the service., Some of the ofi- | cers whoso testimony was presented wer } most pronounced in their commendation | | hus od a great deal of attention THE cei order of the systom. But the argument that | the government should not thus counte pance the traffic in liquor was potential | with a majority of the senators, and they vejectod the provision to allow the sale | of malt and vinous liquors. The bill is now in the hands of a conference com- | itteo, with the chances favorable tothe | action of the senate being approved. In ! that event the gin mills outside the posts will again flourish and absorh the pay of Ao rogulars s of yore. | subja | toall a | give | of them have sought to do, or any othe or | principle THE IMPORTED LIQUOR QUESTION. | bill of Wilson of Towa, ing imported liquor to the pro- visions of the laws of the several states, has reached the rdar of the United Stat e, and its author gave notice | that he would usk the senate Wk it up for consideration at an early day, Senator Hoar, in explaining that bill was rendered necessary by the deoision of the supreme court, said that | he fully conourred in the purport of the | measure, but “supposed the principle of the court’s opinion was extended to other | things than distilled spirits—to opium for instance—and he should have pre- | ferred that the bill should have applicd | 's which states might desi to prohibit the sale of.” Theve is a sug estion in this of the wide range which congress may ultimately be called upon to take, in the exer its power to remove the restriction upon the state in dealing with imported articlos should | the bill proposed by Senator Wilson be- | come THE The nator to so of aw. There is, of course, no question regard- ing the authority of to enact such & law.

There would be in- spection laws and license regulations in- numerable, all professedly in the public | interest and a rightful exercise of the police powers of the states, but in intent and purpose retalintory. Is it wise to | invite such a possible state of affairs? The legislation proposed by Senator | Wilson would obviously not only do this, | but it would be & most arbitrary and in- tolerable interference with the liberty of | the citizen. It would prevent persons from importing liquors for their own use, except under conditions which would be troublesome and annoying, and which might subject them to hardship and abuse at the hands of ignorant or malicious officials. [t seems to us there are very strong and serious objections to the proposed leg tion, and that the matter is one which congre may wisely and | safoly allow to regulate itself. The decision of the supreme court does not diminish the power of the states to regulate the liquor traffie, and congress would exereise a dangerous au- permission to one state to exclude the product of another and at the same time deny to the citizen the 1t to purchase and possess for his owin use acommon article of commerce. merce? st LOOKING TO THE SENATE, The indications are that the McKinley tariff bill will pass the house with few ch from the form in which it was veported. The rejection of all amend- ments proposed thus far, some of which were offered by republicans, shows that the supporters of the bill in the house are strong enough to carry it through just as it came from the committee. Itis probuble, however, they will not ar- bitravily refuse to ullow uny modi- ions of the measure, but make s0me neessions to republicans who are opposed to | certain features of the bill, where this can be done without materially affectin its general character. The attitude of Mr. Butterworth and the few other re- publicans who do not regard the measure as o whole with favor will hardly fail to have some effect upon the majority. It seems, indeed, to have already exerted an influence, since there is talk of a cau- cus of republicans to consider what muy be done in recognition of the growing ros feeling in vor of a modification of the McKinley bill. It must be obvious to the more conservativ among the republicans of the house thut after what has been said by Mr. Butter- worth in eriticism of the general chara tor of the tarifl meusure the purty chances of rotaining control of the house will be lessened unless the bill is re- lieved of some of its more objectionable features. The Ohio representative not only objected to certain conspicuous | features” of the bill, as the reduction | of the duty on sugar und the | proposal to supplant the duty by | a hount the incrensed duty | | on tin plate, and the additional protec- tion to copper, but he in effect av ed ! the whole measure as having been | framed in disregard of existing condi- tions and as not representing a wise and sound and just system of protection under prevailing clreumstances, This position of a republican who has always heen a consistent supportor of the pro- ive policy and claims to still be can- | not fail to have a very considerable in- | fluence with the people, and we muy he te sure it will be made to do all the service possible in the coming con- gressional campaign if its warning and | suggestions are unheeded. But while it may be assumed that they will not be w hull\ disregarded, it is not probable the republicans of the will make any such modifications of the | McKinley bill as would be ne ¥ to | bring it into accord with the protection | defined by Mr. Butter- ground has undoubtedly thoroughly gone ove majority of the ways and committee, and having will be no | To do 80 would necessitate mulating an almost ontirely new The countey must, therefore, worth, T been mos by the means liberately abandoned it there return to it, fc | stock mark | th | the state of one hundr house | de- | W OMAHA l)AIL\ BEE, FRIDAY, look to the senate for a tarift bill that : year for the syl accommodation of con- | will have some regard for existing con- | Bress ditions and will preserve the policy of | The Te Problem protection without perpetuating and in- | A | creasing the inequalities of our toriff The flat has gone forth!

The request was denied und an appeal was taken to the state board. It was shown at the hearing that the elevator at Klmwood was insuflicient for tho demand; that it discriminated against the producer and was a danger- ous monopoly sustained by the rail- road company. The board decided that the railroad must grant equal privileges to all patrons, and that the alliance must he given room for an elevator and f ties for handling grain on equal terms with the elevator then in existence. The supreme court sustains the board on ever E s the power of the board in the promises and declares that “if facilities are granted to one or more for that purpose on the right-of- way, the same privilege upon like terms and conditions must be granted to others who are engaged, or de- sive in good faith to engage at that point in the business of receiv- ing, storing and shipping produce over such railway.” The principles laid down by the court were never seriously disputed by the railroad attorneys. Their sole object in appealing from the ovder of the *state board was to delay action on an issue which was certain to impuir the grip of the elevatorcombine. Tk ilroads are directly intovested in perpetuating the monopoly, and will prolong the contest by taking it to the court of last resort. The decis'on will enable farmers in any community to exact fair treatment at the hands of elevator owners or be- come their own shippers if necessary. It will have the effect of curbing the greed of combinations and stimulate pmpetition among grain buyers.

This decision of the United States court is the suggestion of many thoughts. It should awaken in our minds the necessity of a proper education of our people—personal responsi bility—the political and social duties devolv- ing upon every man, Morality is not the creation of law, but law is the creation of morality. Law does not mould public opin- fon, but public opinion moulds law: hence a law in advance of public opinion is a dead fetter, a nullity. It should also teach us to have ‘“adecent respect for the opinions of mankind.” It is just as impossible for all to think alike as to look alike. It is a trite say ing, “many men of many‘minds,” and cach one s entitled to the possession of his own. It is unbecomis ves, worse, it is degrading for one man to abuse, revile and denounce another for the opinions he entertains, Yet look at the conduct of the teachers engaged in the great prohibition party. The mouthpicces—no term, scems vilo enough to express their contempt for ono who differs with them in opinion, and yet one opinion may be as honestly entertained as the other. Ministors of the gospel who would not blindly join the howling party of prohibi- tion have been deuounced as “‘emmisaries of hell,” “agents of the devil,” etc. All this is caleulated to retard the progress of truo tem- perance and even good morals. Fanaticism is the bane of true progression. The inquisi- tion never made a convert to religion although it covered the country with death, desolation and human bones: it never made a convert, neither will vituperation and denunciation convince the mind. ‘There is no doubt but the violent course of the fanatical misguided so-called ““philanthro- pists,” who were determined to establish an espionage upon evéry household who disa- greed with them in opinion hus led to the promulgation of this judicial decision, and it ational to suppose that had it been given prior to the adjournment of the Jowa legisla- ture probibition- laws in that state would have been wiped out and a license law placed upon the statute, books.

Get Rid of the Load. Kearney Hub, Tt will not do for those republican news- papers and gentlemen who are deluded with the idea that they are running the political machine in this state to attempt to cry down and threaten to read out of the party those other republican newspape nd gentlemen who iave undertaken to free Nebraska poli- tics from the control of corporations and the greedy grasp of o gang of political pot-boil- ers. Some of them—a few of them in fact may be able to control state and county con- ventions; but if that plan succceds, and a lot of cheap wood-sawers are put up to do the bidding of an inside ring, it will be a_ sor day for the republican party of Nebraska when the votes are counted next fall. Thero is a comparative small number of prominent and active republicans in this state who are anxious to set the party right and keep it right as the great representative or- cunization and agency of tho people. There is a very large number whose end and aim is to tun the party in the interests, first, of tho Iroads; and second, for the purpose of po- litical plunder. There is very little honest or carnest effort on the part of those selected by the party and chosen by the people to serve faithfully their constituencics. The move- ment within the republican party in this state, which is viewed with so much alavm by alot of party bucks, so intended for the cor- vection of some of these abuses by placing men in pub ic positions who will represent the people! They will be republicans just the same. Republicanism means liberty for the individual and freedom for all classes. The anti-monopoly republican conference to be held at Lincoln, May 20, is intended to give oxpression to the best thought and impulse of the republican party in Nebraska, and to sound the key-note for the rallying cry at the primaries, where honest votes cast by earnest partisans will rescue the conventions from the ruthless mob that has bid defiance to public sentiment for yoars past. If, when it is all over, the party has succeeded in ridding itselt of the load that is weighing it down, and re- placing a lot of cheap tools with men who will be men for honor’s suke, there wilt be rejoic- ing in this state such as has never been known.
