That shatters another idol, BoaGus ¢ ewed by age and boaring the indelibic impress of suc- cessive knack-outs, aro making their ap- pearance in the legislature. They do not deserve a moment’s consideratioh. ONEof the funny things which the silver pool scoop-net has brought to light isa man who writes speeches for con- gréssmen. This explaing how it hap- pens that very poor congressmen some- times mako very good specches, THE transfer of South Dakota to the department of the Platte is a wise mili- tary measure, Owing to the proximity of Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies to the chain of forts on the north Nebraska border, the department can more promptly meet any emergency calling for the intervention of troops. IF BURROWS is in dead earnest about that call for **1,000 men not afraid to die,” he should at once issue acall in the name of the would-be governor with a bounty of $00 for every recruit who will enlist for three years or to the end of the war. He sholud place the necessary funds in the hands of the recruiting offi- cers and arrange with the Lincoln hotel Ooepers to feed the new Salvation army. UNDER vresent conditions two years will be consumed in reaching a deeis- ion in the case against the register of deeds and his bondsmen. On the first of the yeur the register was indebted to the county in the sum of §),565, It the oficer persists in his present course, at the end of two yeurs he will have in his possession something over $20,000. Against this the county holds a bond for 810,000, Itis evident tho register pro- poses to deprive the county of this money by taking advantage of every loophole in the law. He has trifled with tho commissioners, contemptuously ig- nored the rights of taxpayers, and for- feited public respect.

The new line is well constructed and thoroughly equipped, affording every facility for travel and traffic from Missouri river cities and principal points in Nebraska to all points in the Black Hills, This connec- tion with a portion of South Dakota which there is every reason to believe will in a fow years be one of the most prosperous sections of the northwest, will undoubtedly be appreciated by our business men, who it may be expected will atonce begin to realize its advan- tagos. THE LABORS OF PUBLIC MEN. The late Secretary Windom, on belng congratulated by a personal friend upon resuming the duties Jof secretary of the treasury, is said to have remarked: “Whilo there is a great deal of glory in | it, it means denth to me; I should not go out of office thisterm alive.” At o | meeting of the board of srade and tranee | portation at New York, a member, in the course of a eulogy of Mr. Windom, roferred to the fact that he was the third secretary of the treasury in threo successive administrations to succumb | to the active duties of the treasury department and asked: “Is it mot about time that these duties were so divided and regu- lated that further sacrifices of a like na- ture may be avoided ?” etaries Fol- gor and Manning were the two prede- cessors of Mr. Windom who virtually died in the harness, worn out by the arduous labors of one of tho most exact- ing positions under the government, It is a common and very erroncous notion that our public men generally have very little to do in the naturo of work, that most of their time is taken up in discussing and managing politics, and that their are | tically sinecure It is scen that casionally they leave their posts of duty to attend a banquet, that they find it possible to now and again leave the na- tional capital to visit for a fow days the places of their permunent home, and that once a year they may take a brief tion, They are also found giving positions oc- | foss casual attention to the social duties which custom requires of them. Put- ting all these things together the aver- age citizen concludes that these public officials have little clse to dothan to travel about, entortain, and be enter- wined. Such a view 1s essentially wrong nd unjust, Taken as a whole, there are no men in any servico, giving conscientious attention to their duties, who work harder than those in public life, and for the most part the most arduous labor is performed by those who are highest in authority. The subordinate officials do the routine worle of the vice, which, while requiring intelligence and application, makes no great strain, either mentally or physt ly, but it is a very different matter with the men who have the direction of affars, involving the solution of pro- blems constantly arising, the arrange- ment of methods, and the policy of ad- ministration, Theso requirements make a constunt demand for the exertion of the highest intel- lectual effort, and the almost incessant strain upon the faculties having the closest 1elation to and the most direct influence upon the nervous system is ex- tremely wearing. It is safo to say that very few railroad or bank presidents, or tho managers of the great corporations of the country, labor so assiduously and under such & constant pressure as the heads of the several departments of the government, or even as most of the chiefs of bnreaus do. There is honor in the faithful discharge of the duties of public office, and in most cases it is well paid for, SION OF The bill reported for passage in the legislature, providing for the suppres- sion of bucket shops, is a well-intended measure, although there is at present no very urgent demand for it. The method of speculation which the bill aims at has been prefty eflectually de- stroyed in the west since the Chicago board of trade stopped recording que tions, and as the board scems to bo en- tively satisfied with its change of policy the restriction of the bucket shop, in its old form andcharacter, may be re- garded as a very remote possibility. [f there is any such institution in Omaha it is doing a very unobtrusive business and must be having decidedly uphill work. It is possible that some gambling in grain is done here, that there are local speculators who bet on the course of prices just as they might on the turn of the cardsat a faro game, but thisis a sort of gambling which cannot have any such effect upon the grain market as was produced by the bucket shop specu- lation. Indeed it can have no effect whatover. It is simply a local affir, like ordinary gambling, and may per- haps be amenable to the law relating to that practice. The fact that the measure introdu in congress, and known as the Bubtor— worth bill, to subpress bucket shops, has itself been suppressed, is doubtless due to a conviction that there is no longor any urgent necessity for such a measure, Nevertheless, no harm can be done if the logislature shall pass the proposed measure. Even if it be found that there is nothing for it to operate upon it can remain in the statute books as a prect tion against the return of an evil which it is unquestionably the duty of the law- making power to take notice of. SUPPRES BUCKET SHOPS. FINALLY DROPPED. The assurance given by Senator Al- drich to the leading democrats of the senate that no further effort will be made to take up the closure resolution or the elections bill isof course final as to these measurcs. The Rhode lsland senator was the leader in the fight for a rule to close debate, and as without such a rulo there was no hope of passing the elections mensure, tho surrender of one is the abandonment of both. Senatocs Hoar and Spooner, who were active in asgsociation with Senator Aldrich in sup- port of these measures, concurred with the latter in the decision not to attempt to again bring them forward, It would have been better if this de- cision had been given to the public with- out any reflections upon the republican senators who declined to support legisla- tion which they did not belieye to be ex- pediont, but in this particular the judg- ment of Senator Aldrich was not so commendable as usual. There can be a0 doubt that the course of most of the eight senators who went on record a8 in favor of displacing the elec- tions bill and proceeding with the urgent business awaiting the action of the senate did so from a conscientious conviction of duty. It will not be possi- blo to read these men out of the repub- lican party for doing what they believed necessary in the interest of most import- ant practical legislation, and those who attempt to do 8o inay flud they have taken upon themselves a very unprofita- | tunctions to T other, tho amenities of poite ble task. The course of these senators, mitted, has averted -all danger of an extra and this upon which the country is to be ulated. Whatev: the politicians of elther party may think about it, and there are men in both parties who pro- to believe that an extra session would result in advantago to their party, the financial and business inter- ests of the country certainly would not get any benofit from it. The present congress will subservo the material in- torests of the country by leaving no ne- cessity for convening the Fifty-second congress before the constitutional date. THE FEELING IN THE LEGISLATURE. There is every reason to helieve that the radicalism in which the present 1 islature was born has in a large degreo worn off with age, and that in the last half of its session it will be disposed to consider important public questions it is ad- ion, grate from the standpoint of reason, without | prejudice or passion. For a legislature s spirit, while repre the producers for needed reforms, thero i wide field of usefulness at this time. Its aim should be to seck and find the conditions which will contribute to the prosperity of the state as a whole, ro- membering that all el in ot cultural state like this, must enjoy prosperity or suffer pressjon together. Ther \ be no magic line drawn to sectionalize pros- pevity. If capital does not prosper it will not stay here if labor does not pros- per it cannot stay hera. A new country must ho developed by labor and by capital. The farmer fur- nishes the labor; the eastern investor furnishes the capital. The countr could no morg be developed by labor alone than by capital alone. They aro indispensable to each othe But if unreasonable are passed on the subject the partnership will he dissolved, and the weaker member left to struggle for himself. Capital will suffer but temporary inconvenience, It can close out its mortgages and go where it will be sure of a rmer we come. But the farmers would suffer : calamity by this operation. He would sacrifice his home and his peets, and be a wanderer the face of the earth. This an extreme statement of the result of a con- flict between these twin forces in the life of the west, but it isa true one. It ap- plies with almost equal force to other measures than the proposed usury and stay laws Ata time when it should be the com- mon desire to find now paths of develop- ment for the state, and when all ments of its citizenship should work together to this end, it is a subject for congratulation that a majority in the legislature appear to take a more con- servative view of the situation than they entertained at the beginning of the sion. There is now much reason to pre- dict that the business interests of the stato have nothing to fear from this source. ting in such a enting an laws pros- on THE TRUE REMEDY. The decision of the federal district court on the bridge case is a practical victory for the Union Pacific. It sus- tains the action of the company in re- fusing to comply with the terms of a contract of its own making, mainly be- cause time tables and other preliminar- ies for the operation of trains of rival roads hud not been agreed upon. The court does not pass upon the vital questions involved in the controversy, namely, the validity of the contracts made with the Milwaukee and Rock Tsland companies, and the right of the Union Pacific to make such contracts without the consent of congress. These points are left to future consideration, with the broad intimation that all roads “‘tov- minating at Omaha or Council Bluffs have a right to the use of the bridge at thoso points over which their trains may run,” and further that if such privilege is denied, “‘then it is altogether prot ble that a court of equity will point out a remedy and compel the performance of aduly which ought to be volunturily performed.” *In effect, the court while dissolving the temporary order of the state court, holds that the use of the bridge and aporosches cannot bo do- nied the plaintifs, on pryment of reasonable compensation for their use. It is not reasonuble to suppose the plain- tiffs will enter into a new contract with a company which refusos to comply with one volutarily made. The Union Pa- cific is determined to prevent both cor- porations from the enjoyment of the privileges agreed upon last April, and if the court shall sustain the position of the company with regard to that con- tract, a new one would be a waste of ink and pape A decision on the validity of the con- tract, which is the main issue, involves ronsiderable delay, It will undoubtedly be taken to the court of last resort, and from two to three years consumed in reaching a conclusion. Meanwhile hoth companies will suffer great pecun- iary loss, The Rock Island extension to Lincoln, built on the good faith of the Union Pacific, cannot be operated. Both companies must have access to Omaha and South Omaha. The ques- tion is, Will it pay to wait for years the doubtful issue of the courts and mean- while incur grave business losses. The key to the situation is the prompt building of an independent bridge. The Milwaukee and Rock Island should unite with other companies, erect an inde- pendent bridge, and thus secure perma- nent freedom from a corporation whose word and bond are subject to the whims of stock jobbors. £o Have Older Ones.
