It is not questionable that the roads have been daily violating the law sinco the rate war began, and not simply in failing to conform to the requirements of the interstate commerce act in the very essentinl matter of properly notify- ing the commission of changes of rates, There were undoubtedly other and mor serious infractions of the law, and the fact that the commission was on the lookout for these and intended punish- ing them, may fairly be presumed to have suggested to the mans pediency of bringing the conflict to an end as quickly as possible. The effort to effect an agrecment having been instituted, the action of the com- mission hastened the consummation. The indications ave that the agrecment entered into will hold for some time, but in view of past exp it is not to predict that it will be permanent. is ensy enough to understand roads which have been slashing ger rates ave tived of a policy that already cost them heavily and for which there has been no reasonable ey but it is by mo means tain that this experience may not be re- peated before the year is out. So far as the traveling public is concerned it has profited by the war, but regarded from the broad view point of the general in- terest a settlement of the conflict and a return to settled rates that will be profitable to the roads is to be wel- comed. 1If the agreement holds sixty s provided, without any road giv ing notice of withdrawal meantime, it will most likely be continued indefinitely. ion of ence cuse, cer- NOT ALARMING FIGURES. Tor the current year immigration has been at the rate of about one thousand persons a day. There is no reason toe pect any increase during the remaining months of the year in the number of for- cigners coming to this country., In th event that there is not the total immi- gration of the year will probably not exceed four hundred thousand. This is ahout six-tenths of one per cent of the population of the United States, estimating it to be sixt five millions. Certainly there is nothing alarming in these figures. No veasonable man is likely to have any fear of our ability to assimilate an addi- tion to our population of no greater pro- portions annually than this, sufficient care being taken to enforce the law which provides for the exclusion of eriminals, paupers and other objection- ablo poersons. Nor will any one not under the control of wholly selfish sentiment pretend such an an- nual augmentation of the indus trial for of the country can, if distributed generally among the var ous interests, operate to the disadvantage of any of them. It is plainly ridiculous to talk of danger to the political, social and material welfave of the sixty-five millions of American people from the annual accretion of foreigners to the number of less than one per cent of the population. Yet proposed logislation for imposing additional restrictions upon immigra- tion is advoeated upon this ground, its supporter ist- ently urging that the to this country today is dangerous, un- healthy and of undue proportions. The committee of congress which has been investigating the subject -is looking for testimony to show that this assertion is true, and of course it has been able to find such testimony. There are men who believe it would be well to close every seaport of the nation against foreigners who desire to come to this country to make homes, and the la jori of such men were themselves emigrants, They would like to enjoy a monopoly of the privileges and opportunitics of this country, not reflecting that they have no more r on to ask it than those who were here before they come had to ask for the exclusion of emigrants, They forget that but for the liberal policy of this government, which they would have it abandon, they would not now have the right to call themselves Amervican citi- zens and to enjoy the protection and a vantages which the possession of t proud title gives them, In their utter selfishness they would have this government renounce a policy instituted by the wisdom of its founder and maintained through more than a ntury to its immeasurable glory and gain, in order to shut out people as wor- thy as themselves of the hoon of froe institutions and their beneficent privi- loges. os Unquestionably the fair and unpreju- diced sentiment of the country is ops posed to the demand fgr new islation further restricting gration, but there is danger that the more clamorous voice of the selfish element, employing wmuch the same arguments as those of the know immi- rers the ex-"| w will stion more than thirty ) not b wholly unheeded by The politicians of that body who are eaught by clamor and swayed by considerations of personal gain far | outnumber those who haye an ear for the conservative voice of the people and o will to subserve the general welfare, A material departure from the policy which the government has thus far maintained in this matter is thereforc very much to be feared unless the popu- lar sentiment opposed to any radical change shall vigorously assert itself. | nothi ! age, congress, DELAY IN THE SENATE. It is now nssured that the tariff bill will be delayed in the senate until after the close of the current fiscal year, and it is even suggested that a mensure may not be reported to that body before next December, though this scems to be entirely unrveasonable. The motive of Senator Sherman in.insisting that the subject should be considercd by the full finance committee, rather than following the precedent of devolving the work of framinga bill upon a sub-committec, has been differently construed, but the ox- planation given of his action by the Ohio senator must be regarded as can- did and satisfactory. He belioves thata measuro which occupied the house com- mittee on ways and means six months in preparving ought not to be hustily or cavelessly disposed of by the senate, and he thinks the finance committee of tho latter body should go over the Sure ns fully and carefully as was done by the house committee. “We had better be right even if we have to stay here all summer,” Senator Sherm ported to have said. It is more than probable that Mr. Sherman approves the gene character and policy of the McKinley bill, and that he apprehended disas to that megmsuve if it went into the e clusive charge of the sub-committec which framed the senate bill of the last congre It is to be presumed that Mr. McKinley did not construct the house without some consultation ator Sherman, and that he had ood reason to count upon the senator's support of the bill in the main, or at any ate his ist- ance to secure for it full heaving from the finance com- mittee of the senate. But inany event the position of Mr. Sherman cannot fairly be criticised. It is proper that the s e shall not legislate on the vifl hastily or cavelessly, and though it is desirable that action be reached as soon us possible consistent with a thor- ough consideration of the subject, so that the business interests of the coun- try may be velieved of uncertainty, the senate would better remain in session all summer than to make a mistake in th matter. A great deal depends upon the senate being rvight on the taviff. Those who do not believe the McKin- ley Dbill tode a wise measure need not fear the result of a thorough study of its provisions by the finance committee of the senate, under such new light as they will obtain from the interests affected. On the contrary, the advocates’of a downward sion of the tariff have everything to expect from such careful consideration of the house mes is proposed the senate shall give it. me sure as it DE ' THE The proposition to permit the board of education to issue two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in school bonds, which is to be voted on next Saturday should be defeated. The Tammanyites of Omaha are mal- ing desperate efforts to capture the school board next Monday. Our citizens wnnot afford to trust a quarter of a mil- lion in the hands of boodling conspira~ tors. They cannot afford to mor this city for the sake of a gang of politi- cal parasites and designing jobbers who want to speculate in real estate and “divvy” with the contracto Before another dollar of school bonds is voted, we must know that the moncy will be in safe and honest hands. It will be time enough to vote the bonds, when we know who the new members of the board of education will be. The school board election comes off next Monday, and the proposition can be voted on again within two weelks, We can better afford to delay two weeks longer with the voting of school bonds than run the risk of placing a quarter of a million into the hands of a ving of polit- 1 desperadoes organized solely for spoils and plunder. Tue BEE advises every taxpayer to take no chances, but turn out en masse and vote tho bonds down. THE debt statistics prepared by the census burean are decidedly unsatisfac- tory. The bonded debt of Nebraska, for instance, is placod at a fraction over five million dollars for 1890, an increase of four hundred thousand dollars in ten years. It is possible the sum- mary given In the dispatches is incomplete. In any -event the figures denot refor to a state debt, which was le: than half a million dollars on December 1, 1880, If tho figures vefer to the bonded debt of counties, townships and cities, it is too low. An- other absurd feature of the statistics is that which places the resources of the state in 1800 at nine hundred and sixty- nine thousand dollars, fact that the population of the state more than trobled in ten years, that property incrensed enormously in value, and products and industries multiplicd, the falsity of the estimato of Nebraska's is appavent.

It is not true that the farmenrs are only interested in through are interested in local rates. They ave inte ested in providing conditions rendering petition within the state possible. Morcover, a reduction of local rates will not. injuriously affect through rates. On the contrary, the ad justment of through rates must be made to local rates. Neither does it follow that the | board of transportation, or the board of rail- | voud commissioners, as in this state, wmust bo dispensed with undera maximum rate luw. A maximum rate will not end the need of a board. The board in Nebraska, as in Towa, ought to be continued, and there, as Lere, it ought to be made directly responsibie to the people and clothed with power to enforee its authority. The Journal believes that Ne- braska can_wisely adopt the Towa law, om- powering the board to fix the maximum rate, The experience of Towa and the judicial de- terminations under the Towa law ought to bo uable aud time-saving to the people of Nebraska.
