Somo of them have professed to fear that it would involvo them in interminable suits, but there has beenno sich result from laws fixing the liability of emplogers, Ten yenrs ago the British parlivment passod an act changing the common law rule, and in | this country and Alabuma have comprelhensive laws on the subject, while other states haveactsapylying to railroad corpora- tionsalone. The application of the law in England and inthestates which have adopled it has produced no results to justily tho opposition of the corporations wa lawof general application in this country. The demand that all corporations shallusethe appliances which science supplies for the protection of their em- ployes agiinst accdents is just and vea- sonable, and there should be both na- tional anl state legislation to compel {hem to do s0. In the single state of Vew York last year the number of rail- road emyployes kcilled while intheact of coupling anduncoupling cars was twen- ty-seven, and the number injur hundred and sixty-four.

Massachusotts WE ARE THE PEOPLE. Since the three benighted Tooley strect tuilors met in London, and re- solved that “We, the people,” do so and 50, “the people” has been a familiar phrase with many alleged reformens. The convention today at Lincoln pur- ports to be apeople’s convention, the mamgers of it havetaken snap judg- ment, and it appears that they have studiously planneld tosee to itthat ‘“the people™ werenot represented. o give an illustration of the jugglery of the self<called leaders wo need only citen few facts, Douglis county, for instance, has one hundrel and sixty thousand people, and she is allowed but twenty- delogates, while Gospoer county, with not over five thou- sand, is giveh twenty-three delegates. Pawnee couty, with soven thousand people, has but three delegates, while Frontier county, withabout one-half the populatim of Pawnes, has been asked to naamo twenty-th Ifthe convention isa people’s conven- tion, called to represent the people, then each county should have heen entitled to delogates in proportion toits numorical strength, Why Gosper county, with its five thousand people, should be given as many delegates as Dourlas, with her one hunidredand sixty thousand—over thirly times a5 many—can only be guessed at.

"The opinion provails at Washington that there will he noappronriation for vivers and harbors at the prosont ses- sion, thelealersof the majority in the houwe laving determinel to make no more additions to exponditures for the current fiscal year, If this is the decis- fonof the majority there will bea pe iod of three yenrs elapse between appro- priations for this purpose. Tho socre- taryof the treasuwy recently stated that there is still unexpended about seven million dollars of the appropriation made atthe first session of the Fiftieth congress, s0 that some required im- provements can be carriel out or fo ward, but there. are others that will have te be delayed for which there is idto b urgent need. Tho proposed riv nd harbor bill caried anuppro- pristionof ever twenty million dollars, and in view ofa threatened deficit the majority leaders, it would seem, have comcluded that it is necesswry to this sum., Ol course time will demonstrate whether it is really o sav- ing, anl whether it would not have becn more jidicious o prans expenses in someother direction. The danger of a deficit has evidently maldo a stronger impresion upon the londers of the majority in congress than maost of them have been willing to con- fess, It will ba rememboered that after Mr. Allisonmade his statement in the senute showing that the revenue for this fisell yoar was likely to fall very con- siderably behind the appropriations al- realy provided for and contemplated, there was an effort made to show thut he was widely astray in his fig- ures. The chairman of the appropria- tions committecof the house, Mr, Can- non, mude & statement which gave the sitistion an entirely differont aspact, and he was followed by the secretary of thetrewary with the assurance that he saw 1o rewson to apprehend a deficit. This did not satisfy all minds, howeve and thero have since been made sone savo careful ealculations with the result of | an excess of | showing that there will be exponditures over recei pts of from twenty to thirty million dollars, and that the only wiy to avoid a de- d threo | | a decrea fielen by M use of the surplus now in the treasuy jnd the matioml bank redemption funds, With these funds utilized the tremsury might still have something on hand at theend of the year, but this yould depend upon whother the estimatedreduction of revenue under the tariff bill was realized. If that meas ure should reduce the income of the treasury fifty milliondollars o would be inovitable, This is the situation a careful study of which has induced the leaders of the majority in congress to deter- mine that it is necessary to make o halt inexpenditures, and the river and harbor bill with its large demand will doubtless be ificed. The decision to puta check to extravagance has not been reached any too soon, though thero will bo muny to think that curtailment of expenses might more judiciously havo been m ade insome other direction than that of relarding or postponing neces- sary andin some cases, perhaps, urgent improvements to the rivers and harbors of the country TuE compliint that has been heard for a year past regarding the business of the country does not find justifigation in the figures of our foreign commerce. The just published statement of the chiefof the bureau of statistics, showing the foreign commerceof the country for the last: fiscal year, is o highly gratifying exhibit. There was an increase in the value of exports and importsover the preceding year of nearly one hund and sixty million dollars, of which amount one hundred and fit- teen million was the increase in exports, the total value of which was eight hundred and fifty- seven million dollars. This country ex- ported more cornlast year—one hun- dredand one million bushels—than ever before in any ono year, and the cotton oxports were the largest in the history of American commorce excepting in 1866, The value of imports was the largest of record, It is noteworthy, ulso, that thecombined value of exports of cattle”sheep and hogs during the yearwaslarger than ever before in any one year. The incresse in breadstufls thirty million dollars and in pro- visions thirty-onemitlion. These figures do nov bear the statement of Mr. Blaine that market for our bread- stufls is narrowing, and yot itisa fact that we are meeting a sharper compet! tionin the marleets of the world. There is certainly, hovever, nothing dis- couraging inthe figures of last year, for an iner in the value of onr exports, almost wholly of prolucts of the farm, of one hundred and fifteen million dollars in a singleYedr must be vegarded excoedingly satisfactory. This gratifying conditon of affairs continues, and with considerably higher prices for their products than have prevailed be- fore for soveral years, there appears no reason why the American farmer should not be fairly well contented with the commercial situation, out the a8 THE slow and indifferent methods of ballot counting in thiseity are the most glaring scandals of our elections, It isa common occurrence for the count in some wards to occupy twenty-four hours, thus afording opportunities for skul- duggery and furnishing grounds for an- noying contests. Thisevilis partially due to the apmintment of incompetent judges and clorks, but the main cause is the large vote polled, The remedy isa radical redistricting of the ecity wards and placing a limit to the number of votes in each distri The scandals of the countin former elee- tions can only be avoided by at least doubling the numberof polling districts in the city. By malking five hundred the maximum number of voters toa district, clerks and julgesof average intelligence can promptly handle the ballots offered, and complete the count within five hours after the polls close. The necessity of affording ample facilities for voting and the advantage ofan carly announcement of the result leaves all considerations of costoutof the question. A full vote and an early count must be had atany price. THE experience gained in taking the census demonstrates the necessity of a lical change in men and methods. Complaint of incompetent and incom- plete work is well nigh universal. Much of the confusionand adverse comment is due tothelistof useless and imperti- nent questions which the enumerators were required to ask. But the main rause was tho fact that the work was parcelled outas a reward for political favors. The qugstion of competency was not considered and men were employed whose only qualification was theirability to ronder political service to the appoint- ingpower. As aconsequence the census is in many respects incomplete and its value discounted in advance. In some quarters the proposition is advanced to tablish & permanent consus bureau. the office would be 2ally idle threefourthsof the time- T'he objeet desived can be attained, with little expense, by enforcing o stric tem of civil service in the office.

Grand Isiand Indepmdent, The prohibition men mee before succeeded in capturing the republican state convention by oue of their usual tricks, they inserting a prohibition resolution in - their platform, when, after the nomindtionsa lage numbe of delegates had left, This time they hoped for success by the same trick, but Rose- water's motion to dispose of the platform be- foro the nominations, was adopted with a voteof 4 1o T, and prevented the plan for de- cewving the convention and the people again. The prohibitionists then brought in sev cral resolutions, intended, with a greut flor- ish of woods and numerous whereases, to bindthe republican party in favor of the prolibitory amendment, But they were all killed py refering them to the committee on platform, which rejected every one of them and noneof them came ever again before the convention, This proves what we always contended that prohibition is no part of the political creed of the wpublican party, and that no re- publicanis bound to vote for that unfortu uate prohibitory amendment, which was lid before the people by the imprudent zeal of ignorant fanatics, who do not understand the nature of men, and the unhappy consequen- ces of their own proposition, We aro preity sure that two-thirds if not more of the repub- icans will vote againgt the prohibitory sys- tem, which has proved sucha curse for Towa and Kansis, and that the amendment will be eloriously defeated, if the democrats do their duty carrying out honestly theirso often de- clared principle of personal libert amendmant cannot be adopted but by d cratic treachery. — - POLITICAL CHOW-CHOW. Charles Today the grand international hugging match between J. Burrows and Dave Butler takes place at Lincoln. There is only one thing that will surpass this spectacular exhi bition and that is the Vittle serap that som day must take place between time aid eter- nity, Tomorrow It will be determined whethor the packing house or shughter house politi- cians areon top in the Fitst congressio district. The convention meets at 2 o'cloc andif Clarley Brown has thiugs his way Mr. Bryan will belaid out while J. Sterling Morton will again enter the race. If Mr. Brown’s programme is turned over, then Mr. Morton will go down with aloud and mourn- ful whoop. Albert Walkins and J, D. Cal- houn, the two democratic war horses of Lan- castor, will die with their boots on in a struggleto puy Bryan over the wire, M. Bryaa hus been in Nebraska less than four years, and this is why the Brown contingent thinks that anold settler should meet Mr. Comnell. Inany ovent tho convention tomor- row promisesto be of great interest, and if it preserves harmony to tho end, then must be an understanding before the balloting begius. A Syrcuse dispaten says: ““The only dif- ference of opinion at the indopendent conyen tionat Syracuse, July 26, was whether Gen- oral Van Wyck should be a cmnditate for governor or congrss. General Van Wyck ro quested the alliance at Wyoming, of which he is amember, to not use or suzgest his name forcither offlce, and hoasked that the county convention should not present his name for any office, and when a resolution was pre sented asking his nomination for governor, as the delegates from Wyoming had previously stalod General Van Wyck's request, and urged nosuch action, and i deference to b request 10 action was taken, Out of 125 de gates there were only threo men who W not favorable for bis nomination as governor or congressman.” Which woull give understand that if thero was s much unamity in the convention today as there was at Syracuse, ( alVan Wyck would be givon the nomination f But as Prosident Powers wants to be governor, it will be difficult to adjust tter so that both of them can take a whirl, They might work inthe lientenant governor fuke, und thus provide for both of tuno state us to goy this m: As to Adams county politics it is unneces- sary tostate that Fred Olustead is not lead- wg the people 10 @ very great extent.
