Perhaps this explains why the cabinet position was offered Ohio’s popular ox- governor, THERE is avast deal of nonsense in the talk that Senator Call of Florida is making a fight for re-election aganist monopolies, railway corporations’ and combines against the people, The fact 18 that Senator Call is very poor senato- rial timber and the people of his state have grown weary of him. His oppo- nents made a fair fight and an open cun- vass against him, Ifhe is defoated it will be because ho does not possess the confidence of his constituents. There are few men in the senate who can het- ter bespared than Wilkinson Call.

CuArtes N, FELTON, who has been elected n United States senator from California, probably owes the distine- tion to the influence of the Southern Pacific railrond company. This fact is to bo deplored, but inasmuch as this greut corporation controls the politics of California gonerally, it is & melan- choly source of gratification tofind in the man they have permitted to win the senutorial prize a gentleman of ability, experience and force. Mr. Felton was a popular congressman and refused a re- nomination two years ago last fall. He will be an active representative of a state which for several years has had more money and perhups less brains in the American house of lords than any other state in the union. Mr. Felton is an aggressive man, in good health, and may be expected to do something for the good of California. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: A WORD TO THE LEGISLATURE. The people of Nebraska expect some rolief nt your hands from the excesive by railroad companies transportation of froight. The charges exactod in the | the and rulate charges of railroad com- establish maximum ntes must be reasonabl manifest duty of the legislature is maximum bill that will be ronsonable by bill that would be declared void by the conrts simply that the islature wants ure political eapital rather people immediate reliof. 1 Bk warns the legislature not to banlk on of th hey wheth men are really in enrnest ov simply play incn part. Every intelligent knows that the fow: to haul fre braska nds, Ic iillons of peoplo to Nebraska's one million. Towa has doubie the traffic. Her railroads not only haul all the pro- duets of Towa, but they have the benefit of hauling nearly all the grain and cattle that Nebraska exports and all the lum- ber, hard coal, implements and chandise t ebraslkabuys in the east. This fact must bo taken into account in establishing a reasonable maximum rate, The Newberry bill, which is being forced through under whip and spur by potitical grievance for the next campaign, issure 1o be vetoed by the governor because it is unreasonable, and even ifapproved by the governor would be set aside by the The provision of this bill that yurt authority to fix o highor rate than the bill provides is at variance with the letter and spirit of the consti- tution. The judicial authority of the court only extends to the right to declare the rate fixed by the law makers reasonable or unreasonable. The legislature and the board of trans. portation alone can raise and lower raf road rates. The court cannot order the board of transportation to the rates, that would imply the power of the court to fix the rate, In other words, if the courts should rule the maximum rates unreasonable after the legislature has adjourned the whole question of rate fixing wouldbe left with the state board of transportition and MRt means that it will be left with the railronds as it has been for years, As we understand it the Stevens bill will the maximum vate in Ne- braska from 30 to 40 per cent and still it from 10 to 15 per cent higher than Jowa rates on commodities It isch d that th ns bill make the short haul on heavy commodities like grain, cattle and lumber higher than the prosent local rate on those commodities. If this is true the bill can and should be amended so as to lower the short haul on heavy commodities to meet the popu- lacdemand. Andif there is any defect inthe bill,or any provision that isliable to make it a dead letter or cause it o be vetoed, the true friends of railway regu- lation should have it properly amended. Inany ovent the legislature should on- deavor to pass a reasonable bill thav will be approved by the governor or pass over his veto. The people do not ex- pectall they are asking for, but they do not want to be put off with a grievance and a promise of redress through the next legislature. If the legislature canuot gret them a whole loaf, let them half aloaf. . The extremists who do- mand the [owa rate law or nothing, and the demagogues and imposters who are clamoring for a railroad bill that they feel sure cannot become a law, should be d aside by the level-headed and sincere representatives whoave honestly desirous of giving the people some re- lief during the present yoar. re \ “ | But these T onnet o rutes, to ronounced the courts, To pass o means manufa than give the to people, can seo person railronds can afford por than the Ne- has nearly two mer- men whoare trying to get a 1rts, ives the raise because reduce leave some TRYING TO DEFEAT THE CF IR, Ever since the legislature has been in sossion Assessor Ehrenpfort of the First ward has been at the capital devoting his entire time to buttonholing mem- bers and lobbying aguiust the proposed Omaha charter amendments, Mr. Ehrenpfort’s main object is to prevent the creation of the city assessor, which would throw him out of a job that yiclds him a very comfortable income, While Tne Bi has not urged the passage of the single assessor bill for asons heretofore stated. the conduct of Assessor Ehrenpfort and one or two other assessors would almost justify the dole- gation in passing it. Tho average pay of an assessor is supposed to be about #1830 o year. hrenpfort has alrendy spent twice that sum this winter at Lin- coln, What does that indicate? Noth- ing more nor less than whatis commonly belioved in this city, that some assess- ors are lubricated by heavy property owners and corporations to the detri- ment of the middle and poorer class of property owners, Now if Assessor confined his sessor bill had as- Shrenpfort opposition to the his conduct might excusable, But he has mislead c zens into signing remonstrances against all the charter bills under all sorts of pretoxts just in order to carry his own pois. A majority of these parties are moen whom renpfort has favored in his assessmonts; others are mossbacks and skinflints—who always oppose every public improvement for fear somebody will be benefited or that it will something. Amo! this are parties who have no use r parks and lh\ulh~ ards and others who want all public improvements to cense. Ttis vory easy to got names to any pe- tition, but this purticular petition has recolved signatures from parties who are diametrically opposed in sentiment. A number of wholesale liquor dealers and brewers were led to believe that the now charter would make tho license sys- tem more stringent, and on the other hand quite & number of people signed because they wero told that the muyor and council were to appoint the police commission b after, As a matter of fact the city assessor bill is separate from the other charter amendments and those who oppose that proposition should have dirceted their efforts against that particular bill, The city of Omahu does need parks and boulevards, and the city will lose large numbers of its population unless we provide ways and weans for keeping be ti- cost, class the stupidity or credulousness | | plue | | | constitution empowers the legislature to | | up pubtic improvoments without mak | 1ishors ing the taxes too burdensome, The charter bill is not as perfect ns THE Bee would like toseeit, but it can still be amended when it reaches the house, and wo feel assured that the delegation will endeavor to embody such amendmonts proviaed they are offered in good faith and not for the purpose of killing tho bill, Ass renplort’s eflorts purely selfish and mercenary. It is suse pected that he represents something else opposition to the chat The fact that he travels back and forth between Omaha and Lin- oln on an annual railrond pass indicates cloarly that the corporations have been { under obligations to him. That alone ought to open the eyes of anti- monopoly members, THE NEW DEPARTURE, It is very probable that the republic. ans of Ohio wiil at their next state con- vention name a candidate for United States senator to succeed Senator Sher- man, whose term expiresin 1803, A number of the ropublican papers of the state have expressed themselves strongly in favor of doing this, most of them in the interest of Sherman, but reports in- dicate that it is not the friends of the senator only who in favor of the move Ex-Governor aker would Vi much like to ;vo to the senate, and his friends believe that it he could be a candidate before the people in the same way that Palmer was in Mlinois he would very likely to be successful, and at any rate would give strength to the republican cause. It is given out that it is the in- tention of his followers toplace bisname before the next stato convention as o candidate for senator, and the Sherman element in the party being pretty fully committed to this departure could not very well refuse to entertain a proposi- tion to name a senatorial candidate, Tt is not to be doubted, as the indications now are, that such a proposition will be suhmitted, but as to the result it would be unsafe to make a prediction, sinco complications muy arise not now fore- swor are besides mere in nssessment. are Interest in tho plan of naming candi- dates for United States senator by party conventions lias also manifested itsolf in ow York, where several prominent re- publican papers have given it approval and urged its adoption upon the party. Expressions favorable to it have also come from Massachusetts and one of the planks ndopted by the state convention of the farmers’ alliance of Iowa declares that the president, vice president and senators of the United States should be elected by the direct vote of the people. Undoubtedly this question will receive the attention of the nest congress. Senator Palmer s pledged to advocate it and Con- gressman Holman, in a recent inter- view, said he would venture his reputa- tion for good judgment upon the predic- tion that almost the first thing done at the opening of the Fifty-second congress will be the passage of a resolution to amend the constitution requiring the election of senators by the people, and he believed there will be very little de- lay in its passage. “It will go to the senate eurly enough,” said Mr. Holman, ““to give them plentyof time to act upon it, and senators, whether they like it or not, cannotafford to defeat the meas- ure. A popular sentiment will de- mand the change, and for sonators to 0ppose it would be construed to signify a fear on their part to trust their fates to tho will of the people.” He expressed the opinion that the present method of electing senators will very soon be done away with. Many earnest supporters of the plan of clecting senators by the di- rect vote of the people will not be able to share the confidence of Mr, Holman in its early realization. It would doubt. less be extravagant to assume that a dozen of the present members of the senate could be induced to support a proposition to amend the constitution for this purpose, and it may take years through the plan of convention nomi- nations to so constitute the senate that a majority will favor the eleetion of sen- ators by direet vote of the people. But there is good reason to believe that the Illinois example may make rapid progress, and if it should becomo general, or find adoption in a majority of the states, it would be an easy step to the attainment of the principle of clect- ing senutors by the populur vote direct. 1t is & good sign that the people are be- ginning to discuss the wisdom and ex pedioncy of choosing all elective officers without any intermediary political machinery. WANTED A FOOL KILLER, The state senate has passed a bill which contains the following provisions: “Any publisher of a mnowspaper who shall, without just and sufficient cause, publish or suffer to be published in such paper, about or concerning any person, any lunguago of ridicule, censure uppro- brium, scandal or criticism ealeulated to, or the natural tendeney of which is, to in- jure or wound the feelings, pride or sensibilities of such person, which if spoken or uttered in the presence or hearing of such person would tend to provoke an asssult or abreach of the pence, shall bo doemed guilty of a mis demeanor and shall upon corvietion thereof be fined in any sum not less than $10 nor move than $100, orimprisonment in the county j 1ot less than 10 days nor more than 60 days.” The bill is in conflict with section 5, of the state constitution, which declares: ““Every person may froely speuk, write and publish on ull subjects, being re- sponsiblo for the abuse of that liberty; nd in all triats for libel, both civil and criminal, the truth, when published with good motives and for justifiable ends, shall be a sufficient defense. ™ It is a part of the duty of a newspaper to expose and denounce imposters nnd dishonest or incompetent public serv ants.

Other conditions ccount for the larger amount per capita in Massa- chusetts and Waushington than in New York and Oregon.

What Mr. Gladstone has now proclarmed was vir tually decided on months ago, but the Par nellites have all along had hopes that co; siderations of self-preservation would con strain the Gladstoneans to sik thele personal feclings against Paraoll dovotion to the cause hitherto stood. It is known by both liverals and nationalists that without the aid of the lttor the former would be in a hopelass min ority 1 parliament. But tingencey bas' no deterront effect on thoex-promier and his party. In thoworls of that loa they will “faco defeat, from power and political misfortune, but they will 10t ereate a constitutional leadership for Tre lind under Pamelts guidince.” This for mal placing of Parnell outside of Hberal ognition and afiliation has an importanse ve yond and above the effect which it on the volitical fortunes home rule cause is directly and intimately in volved, Troland can not obtain the measure of solf-government which she soeks, and which theliberals have sought to bestow, until she retires Parnell.

About two. thirds of the nationalist party have rejected lis leadership, and Ireland, at the only op portunity which sho has had to speak form and eftectivoly on tho mattor, has do- red ngainst him.

The first organized was the Camorra, which had its origin in the chief prison of Napies and terrorized south Taly. Theother was the , bornin tho prisons of Sicily. These socicti almost supreme sway during the reign of the Bourbons, but when Italy became united under the rule of Victor Emanuel the gov- ernment looked with ajealous eyo on the in- fluence of the two ol In both Italy and Sicily the revenues which should have gone to the government were absorbed by thysocicties, A strong effort was the foro made to put down both Camorra and Mafia. In Septemver, 1874, the first blow was siruck in Naples. Nearly a hundre: agents of the Camorra were seized and imprisoned in the fortress, and the customs revenues, which the day before had been less than 4 francs, rose on the day fol- lowing to neaely 5000, Some of the Camor- risti were tricd and excented, others trans. ported, others sentenced 1o long terms of penal servitude, For weelks the police and soldiers were busy allover the country ar- restingand bringing in suspected persons, The prisons were full, the courts, thovgh i constant session, conld not try the cases fast enough, and special commissions wero ap- pointed. The Camorra seemed to be broken up. Dealing with the Mafia was much ca Several regiments of troops from the neigh borhood of Milau and other places in North Italy, where Camorra and Mafia were almost unknown, were sent w Sicily. The oficers had their orders, and carried them out to the letter, They traversed the island from end to end, and whenever they captured Sicilian who seomed to boof a suspicious character they gave him the benefit of the doubt and shot him on the spot.
