Tho fact that the company has practically re- covered from late financial reverses and is in primo condition to expand, makes it more than probable that the line to Omaha will beundertaken at an early day. As n business venture the line would prove profitable both to the com- puny and to Omaha. Both the Union Pacific and Rock Island have soseriously cut into the Sunta Fe territory that tho latter must in self-defense extend north- ward into Nebraska. —_—— EX-GOVERNOR CHARLES ROBINSON of Kansas, in o brief review of the curso or prohibition, points out the train of evils flowing from outlawry and fres whisky. Under licenso and rogulation, moral suasion and temperance went hand in hand, Now tho policeman’s club is the moral agent, intolerance has usurped the place of reason, bigotry and mob law is substituted for common sonse, *It has been fashionable,” says Mr, Rob- inson, *‘for the last ten years to ignore facts and deny the existence of saloons, but they existall the same, and while good men have slept and ignored the sltuation, the young men and boys have become tipplers in club rooms and covert drinking places as never before in the history of the town.” It s in order for the hired agitators to denounce the truth-telling ex-governoras a *‘mouth- piece of the rum power,” HE OMAHA DAILY BEE, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1866 WILL ORDER BATES REDUCE The daborate arguments of Chairr Wilker of the interstate conmerce rmil- asociation, and other attorneys of onds, against the jurisdiction of tate commerce conmission in of ordering a reduction of n between tho inter the matte transportation rates on g the west and the distributing eonters of tho east, failed to carry cnviction to the minds of the commissioners, and they have decidel to oder a re. duction, It appears that they wero unanimous in reaching this dec Ision and the fact that the distinguished law- yer who ischairman of the commission, and wlose conservative tendenci re woll known, believes the conmissionhas Jurisdiction will rreat weight with publicopinion, Julge Cooloy woullnot action of this kind, obvi- ously of the very greatest imp nee as a ing the interests bothof the public and the railvoads without the fullest conviction that it is authorized by the and justified by theeireumstancoe: asent to an rogard to tho latter no fair minded man familine it s situation can entevlain o doubt eport of on mude 10 the sonaty 1 cleady and conclus 1thatexising rates to Chi- the commnis: month most st cugo from the Missouri river and points in 2 sk and Kansas west of tho vl excessive.

It is time the status of the commission were sottled, and this issue regarding its juris- diction will very likely have that result. If 1t shall be determined that the fune- tions of the commission ave merely ad- ministeative, that it is in et nothing more’than an advisory board, as the ruil- roads in effectclaim, there will be an urgent popular demund for the enlargo- ment of its jurisliction and powers which congress will not fail to heed. THE SEAL CONTROVERSY. The far reaching wisdom of William H. Seward in acquiring Alaska ata price which has already been sevoral times repaid, the country has been repeatedly congratulated on, and noother eyentin the career ofthe distinguished statesman has contributed more largely to swell his fame, But it is quite possible that the few millions paid to Russiaave buta small part of what Alaska will ultinately cost this country. The question of our rights and jurisdiction in the waters that wash theshores of that inhospitable territory, and over the creatures that abound in those waters, is not only still in contro- versy, bul presents a more complicited and threatening aspect than perhaps at any tino since it was raised, Doubtless nobody regards the sitution asparticu. larly da us, and yet no one is war- ranted in saying there is no danger. The correspondence on the subject of the Behring sea controversy called for by thohouse of reprosentatives may bo sent to that body any day,. when the public will be gi al information asto the status of the dispute and an opportunity o judge of the chances of a sottlement. Meanwhile it appears that Mr. Blaine not only insistsupon the rightof the United States to oxelusivo jurisdietion in the waters of Behring sea, but hus put forward the additional clim that all seals swimming in its waters, m matter how many hundred miles from shore, are the property of this government and its lessee, the North American eommercial company. It will be well to await the oficial “correspondence before giving credence to the latter statement, al- “though there appears little reason to doubtthat it was given out by oficial anthority, If the government has in fact thus enlarged its claims anaddi- tional complication has boen introduced into the controversy which renders it more sorious than ever e fore. Wo «¢an hardly expect that any moritime mation will con- cede n claim of this kind, and yet it ap- Jears entirely consistent with the elaim of exclusive jurisdiction. If the waters are ours ovory living thing that swins in them belongs to us, Cin we reason- ably hope to sustain such s position if we should agree to submit this question to arbitration, and it we decline recourse to that means of settloment is it not highly probable that we should have to fight to maintainourclain? It isobyi- ous, therefore, that this controversy is not wholly free from danger. There is reason to boliove that the temper of the British government re- garding this matter is not altogether amiable, Canuda is undoubtedly very much in earnest in demanding the inter- vention of the imperial government for the proteotion against seizurs of Cana- dian sealers in Behring sea, and all the indications are that the imperial gov- ernuent is well disposed to respond to demand.

The proposition toextend the charter of the American Watervorks company twelve yenrs beyond the limit of its pres- enttenure should be carefullyconsidered and weighed in all its bearings. Under the presentcharter the city will have the privilege of purchadng the on- tire plant within thitteen yows. Since that contract was made the populationof thecity hasinereasel one hundred thon- sand and i3 aren has been extended from nie {0 twenty-five square miles. The hydrantrental for a city of thirty-five thousand population was ressonible at eighty-four dolaws per year hut the num- ber of liydrants has been increased from two hundrel toeleven hundred and the waler tax has reached dimensions that almost absolutely preclude the planting of additional hydvants. The company now proposes to put in four hundred additional hydranis at a yearly rentat that will not exceed the anount now paid for the eleven hundred hydrants, providing the ity will extend the franchise twelve years. This propositionshould o considered purely from a husiness standpoint. The question is, will four hundred additional hydrants offset the reduction that we shall inevitably get, notonly for the city but for private consumers, by the time the present charter expires, This is & proposition of such grave moment toall classes of ourcitizensthat no hasty action would be justified. In any event no ordinance granting such anextension should be enacted without submitting the proposition to the voters of Omaha for ratification, Tk democratic campaign bureau glories in luid columns of figures, doubtless believing that the average voler stic to the old saw: “Figures won’tlie.” But under the inspiration of this buremn figures are made to do valiant service for the causy, regaviless of truth. A recent publication pretends 10 give the number of dopositors in the various say banks of the states, and the concluwionis drawn that the nimo Teading nunuficturingstates of the east, having throe-fifths of the dopositors, are prospering under protection at the expense of the renmining thirty-five states, Eight westorn stalos are nimed in the list us having mo dopositors, Among the number is Nebraska, a faet which shows the table tobe a political document manufacturved for effect. The numbor of savings bauks in the state is not at hand, but one faet is sufficient to prove the falsity of the democratic effusion. In Omaha alone there are ten suvings banks, with deposits aggrogat ing two and a quarter millions, In Colorado, Kansas, Montana and Wash- ington, the demovratic litorary bureau cn find factsequilly stubborn showing the financial thrilt of the people. *“Tell the truth,” Em——— Tue killing of two horses on Sixteenth street furnishes ample proof of the deadly powerof the motor railway cur- rent, The acidemt suggests the neces- sity of frequent thorgugh inspection of all eleetrio Tight and motor wires.

Like most imprcticil reformors, who are ever prone to bolster up their unrelisble the- ories with untrustworthy figures, the prohi- Ditionists show a disposition to place m uniue reliance on onesided statistics.
