While the constitution makes the gov- | ernor the sole judge of the emoergency | that would justify the convening of the legislature, the intent of the fundamental law doubtless is that the prerogative shall ¥ swelsed with great diser tion. There ave emergencies of the first magnitude emergencies of small moment. If a enlamity should befall this or of its principal cities by a destructive five, cy= or earthquake that made thou- ands of people destitute and homeless the emergency would call for immediate relief by legislative appropriations. If an Indian outbreak should suddenly threaten our settlers on the border with murder and rapine, the governor, in addition to calling out the military to repel the invasion, would, it the numbers of the s were formidable, be expected to conveno the legislatu xtra session to make pro- visions for feeding and paying the militi and alleviating the distress of the peo- ple in the devastated section.

The memorial addr of the Kansas publican resubmission convention,held at Topeka, is a caustic indictment of pro- | hibition fanaticism. Tt represents the sentiments of thousunds of republi who, though not openly active in the movement, ave none the less determined to wipe the intolerant law from the statute books. The address points out, the folly of longer continuing u law which has not been and cannot be en- foreed. Even withthe power of enforee- ment in the hands of its friends, with state police commissioners and a state constabulary, the law is notoriously a dead inevery city in the state, and in its stead a license system in the | form of monthly fines is enforced. It cannot be said that there has been any luxity of efforts to muke prohibition effective in Kansas. Bxtraordinary nd penalties, startling alike to nd lawyers, have been but the traflic goes on and increases an- nually. Although important interests demanded attention, each successive legislature has wasted the time and means of the people in inacting more stringent mensuves to enforco the law. s, pains courts u farce, as it has not diminished the con- sumption of liquor, but flooded the state with the vilest geade of intoxicants. Mean- while the money which might have been cmployed to build up profitable indu tries ut home has gone out of the state to inerease the prosperity of other com- munities, Taxes have inereased while property values have deereased, and a horde of unnecessary officials have been fastened upon the state. The memorinlists demand that the republican party of the state cut loose from local fanaticisin and place itself inaccord with the principles of the na- tional party The address is a timely warning to the intelligent peaple of Nebraska to avert the disasters which have fallen upon Kan. The growth and prosperity of the state depend on obedicnee to Strife and contention disrupts conf dence, checks development and drives capital to other pla The fact that the Nebraska high license law has been almost universally adopted is convincing proof thatit is the most rational and effective method of liquor regulation yet de It has been weighed in the balance of experience and not found wanting. cos, sed. LICENSE OR I0N. The question of what shall be done with the Canadian railvoads competing with American roads, which is likely at anearly day to commund the attention of congross, is receiving some quite earnest discussion in the east. As we noted some time sinco, the suggostion in the veport of Senator Cullom’s committee of a sy: tem of licenses tothe foreign vonds doing business in this country does not meet with general favor in New Kng- land. Very generally the organs of public opinion in~ that section urge that such a policy would disus- trous to New England interests, which arve admittedly materially benefitted by the unrestricted competition of the for eign with the domestic roads, If there is any recognition of an injustice to American corporations in subjecting thom to legal vestrictions in conducting | their business while leaving their alien competitors for traffic free to do as they please, it is not generally confessed, | The manufacturers and of New England desire that tho present situation be perpetuated, and this their ropresentatives in congress will doubt- advocate whenever the question comes forward, CLU. be s merchants less On the other hand the American rail- rouds interested will oppose the license proposition in the intevest of an absolute exclusion of Canadian railvoads from American trafie, They will contend | that it could be of no advantage to them | to license the foreign roads to do busi- ness in the United amount of such license would be drawn from the local traflic of the Canadian 1s and therefore would not le their ability to successfully compete States, because the ro en imposed, | As u femperance measure it jsa conceded | The people of Canada would pay The 1 York Sun, re- sentiment of the managers of the American ronds, says: *“The more it is examined the more indefensible will the proposed license system appear. ono of those compromise mensures demanded by no American company, but specially designed to pro- tect the interests of the subsidized Canadian militar, and political rilroads, Tt is, of course, pleasing to such of the Am an ns are more selfish than patriotie, and it has the questionable merit of sati ing certain local prejudices and interests on the Canadian border by keeping open the Canadian lines. But, like most com- promise measures, it must in the end prove to be a disappointment to the statesmen who have brought it forward. It is totally inadequate to the emergency and it will most probably be kicked out of congress, as it " Of course to those who take this view nothiug short of exelusion will be acceptable. The people of the northwest have a very decided interest in this question, and it is probable their voice will be heard in pronounced opposition to any roada, the license, flecting th Now soems to be patrons deserves, | effort for shutting out the Canadian com- ou through rates with the Americau | petition or imposing any serious re- steaint upon it. The view of the York Sun that a license system would prove inadequate is probably correct, but a policy of exclusion, if practicable, would not be tolerated. What an be done in fairness to the American roads and with justice to the public interests involved it will be difficult to determine. REGULATION OF FEDERAL ELECTION It is expected that the next caucus of the republicans in the house of repre- sentatives will decide which one of the several federal election bills now before the house will rece the party sup- port. There is a measure, introduc early in the session by Mr. Lodge of Massachusctts, which provides for some dical reforms, among them the appli- cation of the Australian ballot system in congressional elections, but there ap- to be very - small chance of this bill receiving any considerable sup- port even with the proposed ballot sys- tem omitted, as its author quite will- ing shall be done. In its general foat- ures the Lodge bill is not approved by amajority of the members of the house. Another m as introduced by Mr. Houl of Te but it has r ved s0 little attention that its fate may 1 regarded as settled. A third bill is that of Mr. Rowell of Tllinois anc the most conservative measuro the one most likely to be recommended by the caucus, should it be determined to pass any new legislation, Undoubtedly the republicans in the house will be greatly influenced by the attitude on this subject of southern r publican representatives, and these are not unanimous in favor of any new elec- tion legislation. On the contrary it would seem that most of them op- posed to it, while some ave outspoken in their hostility., Of such is Mr. Ewart of North Carolina, who said in a re- cent interview that he thought federal election law of the char- acter proposed would be injurious. He could foresee no practical good to come from it. A federal election law might be effectivo in thagwo Virginias, North Carolina and Tennesso: there are enough white republicans to sce it executed, but in the rest of the south it ve pears 15U nessee, ave o where could not be made effective without hav- | 1 St election ing a squad of Unit tes troops at every precinet on Mr. Evans of Tennessce thought the present d, and Mr. day. laws good enough if enforc Coleman of Louisiana expressed. himself s unequivocally opposed to any new legislution. On the other hand Houk of Pennesseo, MeComas of Maryland and Bowden of Virginia are strongly in favor of a federal election law of some kind that will secure to all citizens a full and free expression of their will in the cleetion of representative There is little probability, however, that there will be any legislation on this subject by tho present There arve many northern licans in the house who doubt expediency of passing a luw which would subject the party to the chavge of 1 ating solely for tional applic: tion, and th is @ numerous body of vepublicans in the country who hold a milar view.
