TIE NEWBERRY BILL VETOED, Governor Boyd's voto of the Newberry maximum freight bill is fully justified by the outspoken message which the executive has addressed to the legisl ture. The constitution empowers the legislature to pass laws to correct abuses and prevent unjust discrimination und extortion in all charges of railroad com- panios, and incidentally, from time to time, to pass laws establishing reason- ablo maximum rates of charges for the transportation of passengers and freight on the different railronds in this state, Theexplicit ianguage of the constitu- tion is that the charges established by law must be reasonable. Governor Boyd’s refusal to approve the Nowberry bill is chiefly hased upon the fact that it proposed to cstablish the lowest trunk line Towa rate upon every railrond in Nebraskn, regardloss of the volume of traffic or location and expense of maintaining and overating the syne, The most ardont advocatos of the bill have been foreed wo admit that the radi- cal cut in ratos which this bill con- tomplates would be unveusonable it ap- plied to evory road indiscriminatoly. 1t they insisted that the maximum rate ex periment should be given a si months’ trinl, and if it was onerous and impracticable the conrts could redross the wrong hy setting the bili aside, Such ley ation on its face cannot fail to bo vicious. It o ous precedent, The object of lawmak- ing is justice and equity as noar as it can bo formulated by human agency. Why should the legislature enact laws that would inovitably be set aside, and what advantage would the people derivo fromsuch dead loftor logislation? It was the manifest duty of the legislature before formulating a maximum rate bill to ascortain tho ratio of trafic in Ne- braska and Towa and tho cost of op- orating roads in the two states, But they bought a pig in a poke. It isan open secret that not five men in the legislature ave familinr with the provis of the bill and the velative rate schedules of Towa and Nebraska. The fact that the railroads have ex- acted ssive and oppressive charges from our producers does not, justify tho legislature in onacting luws that would cut down their enrnings helowthe actual cost of maintaining and operating the roads, Governor Boyd's estimate that the railroads in this state cannot be dupli- cated with their equipments for less than $25,000 a mile is very moderate, It is also indisputable that the volume of traffic in Towa is fully threo times as largo as in Nebraska. No schedule of rates that fails to take this fact into con- sideration will stand the test of the courts when its reasonableness is chal- lenged. A courageous and conscientious execu- tive should not allow himself to be swayed by popular clamor or influenced by political expediency when measures of such grave moment to the state are presented for his approval. His duty is to interpose tho veto whenever in his judgment the public weliare would be jeopardized or a great wrong committed, Apart from the constitutional de- fects which Governor Boyd has pointed out, the voto is fuily justified on tho grounds which he - clearly sets forth in his message. While TrE Ber does mnot fully concur in his views as regards the incroase of through rates in case the local rates are materi- ally reduced, we believe that his action will meet with the approval of all classes of citizens who have given the question of railroad regulation serious considera- tion, In a nuf-shell, the logislature has overshot the mark when it fised a rate for Nebrasky railroads on the Town standard regardless of the difference in conditions between the traffic of the two states. Had they passed the Stevens bill, or a bill that made a 20 or 25 per cent reduction on the existing rates for the staple commodities, the governor could have found no reasonable ground fora veto, and even if he had vetoed sucha bill its passage over the veto could not have been prevented, slishos a danger- ns OUR TREATY OBLIGATION! S. Ttis stated that tho apparent inability of the United States to actually extend to foreigners the protection which is guaranteed in the treaty, in case an out- rage is committed for which a state is responsible, has led to considerablo talk in diplomatice cireles, For eign opinion appears to regard 1t as being a serious defect of our political systém, that in an affair like that at New Orleans the national government hasno Jjurisdiction, Several English vapers have declared that the position of our government in theissue with Italy has revealed a weak place in the American constitution, and one of the most prominent German newspapers justifios Italy in not wishing to discuss American institutions and in alling attention to the principles of in- ternational law. It seems that there are American citizens also, who think that thoright of the government to nego- tiato treaties carrios with it the power to carry out treaty stipulations, oven if by so doing it appears to ovorride state authority, and it is suggested that con- gress should designate by law how the federal government shall act in o difi- culty like the present one, The question of the power of the na- tional governmentto carry ont its troaty obligations is certainly of the grayest importance. We cannot reasonably ex- pect foreign nations to fulfill their obli- gations to protect American citizens resident in them if our government fs unable to protect hero the citizons of such nations, It would seem to be en- tirely obvious that in this matter there should be absolute reciprocity, that we should bo prepared to give in full measure all that we ask, This appar- ently our government cannot do. High authorities on constitutional law have taken ground which would sanction the idea that the treaty-making power Is practically omnipotent, but tho weight of opinion has heen that no treaty could tor the relations of the general goy- ernment to the state, and this prineiple, fully recognized ut this time by the ad- ministration, has bocome firmly estab- lished in the practice of the govern- ment, In the matter of execut- ing their own laws, with respect to all persons within their Ju- visdiction, not specifically rélioved by 1n- ternational law from the application « local laws, the sovereignty of the statcs is licld to be complete. Theconstitution provides that ‘all treatics made, or which shall be made, under the author- ityof the United States, shall be th supreme law of the land,” but this is not intorpreted as giving authority to the federal government to institute logal procoedingsagainst citizensof Louisigna for the killing of the Italians, or as warranting this government giving any aswrane to the govornment that the por sous responsible for the tragody will be Ppunishe It has instituted an investi- gution, in order to ascertain whether any of the porsons killed were Italian subjects and thus determine whether there dsa just cluim for indemnity, and this is doubtless as far as the govorn- ment will goin the matter, oven in the event of the authorities of Louisiana failing to prosecute the porsons guilty of tho killing. The unfortunate affair at New Orleans was without procedent in our history, and the question it has raised regarding the value of our treaty obligations, so far as they relateto the subjects of for- eign countries domiciled here, is one we cannot afford to ignore. The oc- casion demands the apptication of calm reason on both sides, and all oxtrava- gant and intemperato utterancos aro to be discouraged. The United States in- tends to maintain friondly intorcourse with all the world. It will continue to be visited by the people of every land. How shall this government more amply assure othor nations that their subjects will be protected here and thereby establish an unquestionable right todemand protection for its own citizens within the jurisdiction of other governments? Whatis ne to be done in order that troaties shall be in their farthest application, what the na- tional constitution declares them to be, the supremo law of the land? These questions call for serious consideration inthe interest of international justice and peace. RAILWAY SPONSIBLE. It was noted a fow woeks ngo that the coroner in Now York eity who invest- igated the tunnel disaster by which half a dozen persons lost their live: ausod warrants to be holding to tho grand jury the directors of the Now York, New Haven & Hariford railroad company. It was thought at the time that this most unusual course on the part of the coroner would end in his dis- comfiture, that no grand jury in New York city would find indictmentsagainst Chauncey Dopew, William Rockefellor, and several others of hardly less social and business prominence, Thoso gen- tlemen looked ugon the proceeding us a farce or an outrage, according to their temperament, and gave the required bail with the evident feeling that that would be the end of the matter, But it was not. The grand jury re- turned an indictment, and the prospect igthat the indicted directors will have tounswer to the law for their failure to comply with its requirements. Thoy are merely charged with having com- mitted a misdemeanor by using stoves to heat their cars, in violation of the law, iction of this carriesthe pon - issuod but convi alty of ither fine or im prisonment, or both. It is reported that these gentle- mon aro fecling very badly over the grand jury's action. It is extremoly unpleasant to them to have to undergo aprosecution of this kind, and such is public sentiment that they prohably feel theve is great danger of conviction, The prosccuting attorney is said to be determined to press the caso and the judge in who court the indictment was found has given every indication of sympathy with the prosecutor. Of course the directors will fight to tho last resort, if convieted at the outset, and may finally escape pun- ishment. But, in any event, the case is important asa precedent. It is Hn:#rsl attempt, we believe, to hold the rectors of a railroad responsible for a violation of the law, at least in the wayof a criminal prosecution. The usual way is to shoulder the blame on some ir- responsible subordinate. In this cse, the julge, instructing tho jury, held that if the directors of a railroad have the control and munagement of the romd it is theirduty to seo that the require- ments of the law for the safoty of the traveling publicare rogarded. Tho law says that some person shall bo responsi- ble, and if the directors are allowed to escape on the plea thut they delegate to subordinates the duty of looking after legal requirements the laws would vory generally be defeated, Thore can beno question rogarding the duty imposed upon the directors of the road by the statutes, andin order to their just and proper enfoccement nobody below those having the control and man- agement can be regarded or recognized as responsiblo. It iseasyto appreciate the fact that Mr. Depew and those in- dicted with him should feel groatly an- noyed and mortifiel at the position in which they are placed, but as good citizens they were bound to obey the law, and having failed to do 80, with fatal rosults to those who en- trusted their lives to the care of the company they controlled, there is no reason why the law should not ho en- forced against them as against any ono else. Andif they are convicted, justico requires that they be punished necora ing tothe law. The prosecution of this cnse will command widespread intorest and be a valuable chapter in our judicial history, OFFICIAL ARIES, Generally speaking, the government at Washington pays salaries to its offi- cors entirely inidequate to the import- ance of the seryices required. The cost of living in thecapital ecity is excessive and the soclal demnds upon those in the higher circles of official socioty are vory heavy. The vesult of the penuri- ousness of Unclo Sam is that poor men and men of moderate means must either forego the honors of public positions or having accopted them resign soon after becoming familinr with their duties, Thecase of the supervising architect of the treasury brings the subject treshly to mind, He is recognized as an exceptionally compotent man. His salary Js 84,500 per annum, The city of Philadelphia recognizing his high standin, the building pro- fession invites to resign and accept a place atan infegso of pay. Men of good ability in @) the dopartments serve the government ata personal sacrifico, Unfortunately the economies of cong are generally diponted to the salary List, and while millions pour out of the bung holeof special ap ppopriations the spigot of proper pay for government officials is cavefully pluggisd, In Nebraska the same present constitugiop w the grasshoppo® Ba throughout the 10.

The on v state officials who are genorously paid ave those connected With the public charitable, corroctive and educational institutions. Genorally by proper econom v they can save monoy out of their salarioes, Inthe judgment of Tite Bee itis bad economy to reduce the salariesof tho sevoeral deputies and clerks in the stato house. While it s truo the places will be greedily sought ovenat low salaries, tho fact romains that tho stato ought not to oxpect servico at less than raling wages. The laborer is worthy of his hire whether he bo a horny-fisted har- vest hand or a neatly dressed book- keeper. iy Tr the chairman of the board of public works will eall upon the city comptrolior he will learn that the exact sum ox- pended for sweeping and eleaning streots in 1800 is preciscly$14,741.68, e Bk roceived theso figures from the deputy comptroller, and tho presumption s ti this official hout. the ex penditures of the city than the chaivian of the board of public works. Further- moroe the latter oflicial answered the in- quiry of THE BEE for the cost of stroot cloaning and sweeping for 1800 with the statement that ho could not give tho exact amountbut it was in the neighbor- hood of 30,000, and he advised the in- quirer to consult the city clork, who in return referved hin to the city comp- troller. In an article published last Tuesdny evening, owing to a ty pograph- ical error the amount expended by the city for 1890 was given as $4,74L68 in- stead of $14744.65. The fact remains that Omaha does not expend enough money to keep her streots cloan and sho does not keep them clean, — No sooNERdid TaE BE i dispatches announce that President Harrison would visit Omahain May than suggos tions were current in federal and muni ipal circles as to his recoption. His spo- eial recognition of Omaha and Nobraska in a political way has won for him the praise and gratitude of many citizens both n and out of the republican party The recoption to bo accorded the prosi- dent upon his arrival in Omaha will be demonstrative ande enthusinstic, It should be universal. Preparation of details should be taken up soon, so that concerted action may result in a groet- ing, the sincerityof which canuot be doubted. Get together, knows moro CITIZENS of the northwestern part of the city are justly indignant atthe at- tempt to ¢hange the location of the new engine house from Thirtiethan d Spauld- ing streets to Kountze Placo. Thero is a large and important district in the vicinity of the site solected which is now without proper protection from firo, Tt includes many manufacturing estab- lishments as well s hundreds of homes owned by people of moderate means, Tho exact lot selected may not be suit - able, but the engine house should not bo far removed from the site heretoforo agreed upon. THE early approach of the working season suggests the necessity of exerci ing great caro in selecting ins pectors of street improvements. Hithento a man's political qualifications were the test of his merits and not his special knowledgo of the work 1o be performed, T workingmen of Omaha will seri- ously miss the charter amendments should they fail to pass the legislature. The public work which should b done this season is dependent upon umend- ments to the city’s organic law. — PRESIDIENT HARRISON includes Oma- hain the listof cities to bo visited on his return from the Pacific coast.

Itmaynot bo thattho omworor wishes to be reconciled with Bismarck for tho sake of the counselhe might get from him, but rather in order to be in aposition toexert has influence to prevent the adverse critiolsms on his policy of his former ministor. The evidence is abundaut that Bismarck is still an cxceedingly popular man in Germany. The public colebration of his birthday gave assurance of this, and un doubtedly the people are ready to bestow on him any honor in their gitt, Buta man of Bismarck's nature would not be satisfied With boing simply an agitator and fault- flider. Thero is no doubt of his pa- triotism and loyalty, and it would b poor satisfaction to him to sit in the par liament as a carper and strife maker against tho govornment, albeit ho might gather a strong fotlowing that would embarrass the Imperial policy and make him folt as a force Inthe empire. His famo would not be im- proved by such a course, but would rather bein dangerof being impaived, It is quite concewvable, thereforo, that he would vory Wwillingly be reconciled with the emperor, even if [t should not restore him to power, for insucha relation the world would bolieve that hie was not wholly powerloss, and doubt- less howould notbe. It is quite possivl also, that the emperor has discovered that the exporienced and far-reaching statesman- ship of the ex-chancetlor is too valuable to be wholly dispensed with, and that in the pres ont situation of European affairs bis wond ful power of penetrating the schemes of others may bo usedto great advantage. At any rate, whatever the motive of the om- peror may bo—and perhaps 1t is prompted altogethor by a sense of the bost. iterests of Germany —the entire German people woula undoubtedly regard with the most cordial satis faction a resumption of frienaly relations betweon their sovereign and their greatost statesman., Like the allianco botween Franco and 1us , the Russian intrigues in Bulgaria are ouly part of a lone standing policy now at- tracting more attention thanin quicter and loss stormy months, War will be decided or brought near, not by a union of interests be. tween Russiaand Franco, or by the effort of Russiato regmun its infiuencein tho Betkan peninsula, but by the condition of the five great Buropean armies. Noone of them s today reaay for war—Russia least of all. The now infantry weapon, oniy served out last. yenr, smokeless powder, and changinge tactics have made necessary a vast deal of new training and drill in every military o tablishwent. Germany and France are most through the preparatory stage, Austrin and Maly come mext, and Russiais the worstoff of all. Its enormous levies are larger, loss intelligent and more poorly organized than those of any other country, and they need more drilt and pre- paration. For eighteen months past Russia has been steadily accumulating troops on the Germanand Austrian frontiers, until the Irontier garrison of each 1s overmatched ; but the troops are of alower quality, less well armed, and, what is of supreme 1mportance, loss well officered. The true peril to peace in Europe lies in the possibility that the Iaiser and his advisers may feel that the timo to strike 1s now, beforo the Russian rearmament is finished and the arrangements for a Franco- Russian mobilization completod. Tho plain plan ofthe Franco-Russian alliance s to give the vast forces of Russiathe advantages of French scientific training and resources in the supply of equipments and arms, the per- fection of organization aud the preparation of the dotails of mobilization. The temptation to interrupt this midway will bo strong, and while even thetriple alliance can scarcely be ready for war bofore autumn, it is far nearer readiness than its two opponents, one of whom Russia, is ouly half propared for war. . ‘The goorkhas who died at Manipur, in the provinee of Assam, probadly died hard. The goorkha 1s the Highlander of TIndia.

The Second regiment, that was with General Sir Frod- erick Roberts' forco that held the Sherpur lines outside Cabul in 157, saved the day in the principal fight that took place in the winter monmths. Tho white troops were seized with an unaccorntable panic when attowpting to drive back the cnemy, which had become more aggressive than was plaasant. The goorkhas stood firm aud charged the enemy ng tho ad- vanee, and with the aid of thomen who had rotreated, but advanced again owing to the good example of the Second regimont, soon sent Pathan, Guz and Dorvish seuttling across the snow-covered plain, The goor hias had taken no prisoner, but every man's kookerie had received its baptisin of blood. No kookerle is thought much of until it has been wetted with the blood of an enemy. Later accounts will probably show that the goorkhas sold their lives dearly. At Mani- pur they were fighting against the highland- ers of Assam and were certaiuly greatly out- numbered. 2 Itisan interesting changoe thatwill soon takce place in the population of the Hawaian kingdom under the oporation of the new treaty with Japau, which provides for unre- stricted immigration to Hawaii from Japan, and holds out extraordinary inducements to Jupaneso laborers who are willing to culti- vate the Hawallan plantations. It is only within recent times that the Japanese have been allowed to leave their country, and we have just got the first evidence thatany con- siderable number of them would ever leave it; but the offer of a free passage from Yokolama and & gift of money upou arriving at Howolulu and assured employment on the Ha and cof- foe plantations has had its effect upon the mind of the Japauese, many of whom are re- ported to bo awaiting transportation.
