THE thrifty steward of the Hastings insane asylum bought butter from tho firm of which he is a meinbor. This is contrary to law, but perhaps tho super- intendent can show that it is merely a & transfer of funds for convenience sake. GOVERNOR Bores will be unanimously renominated by the lowa democratic convention tomorrow. Iowa domocrats have mevor before found anybody with good legs for political races and they do not propose to swap horses before next November, BARDSLEY'S defalcations are not yot all made known. Another small item of $224,000 has been found which brings the total embezzloment up to $669,000. Bardsley missod his calling when he wont to Philadelphin. He is buailt for the president of some South or Contral American republic, 17 18 to be hoped there no founda- tion for the rumored resignation of Cen- sus Superintendent Porter. His work is not nearly completed. The man who has s0 well bogun so important an un- dertaking and carried it forward to such splendid rosults cannot be spared until he has finished his duties. No successor can take up the work just now and carry it forward so well as Mr. Porter. A DIRECT line of railway to Duluth, Minn., is of very great importance to Omaha. It will supplement the efforts of our grain men to make this a large market in the most satisfuctory manner possibie. The Winona & Southwestern railroad is pushing toward Omaha quietly but certainly. It will afford just such a direct routo as is needed. Peoploe are very blind who cannot fore- seo immenso possibilities in the grain and produce business of the future in Omaha. ONCE again we beg leave to remark that tho question of relocating fire hydrants is not a ward proposition. Whether the hydrants shall be taken out of onc ward and placed in another is of no consequence. Whether the city is paying for fire hydrants which it does not use and nover has used while local- itios sadly in need of fire protection are wholly deprived of it is a matter of very grave concorn. ‘Petty ward politics should not be allowed to provent proper fire protection to any deserving locality or to give the waterworks company an advantage in the controversy, THE late ex-Senator MeDonald of In- diana was for some years a prominent and trusted leader in the democratic party, and was thougit at one time to have a chance as a presidential possi- bility, e was a man of good ability, an earnest partisan, but with nothing of the demagogue about him in politics, and was noted rather for his blunt, frank and vigorous way of ing his views than for brillianoy. Ho was a capital campaign spoakor anl did good service for his party in more than one national contest, He divided with the late Thomas A. Hendricks the honors of leadership in Indiana, but in recont years has not been active in politics. The calmness with which he fuced death when he found his case to be hopeloss showed a conspicuous quality of his char- sater oxpres THE SUPREME DUTY. The consensus of opinion among re- | publicans who have responded to tho in- vitation of Titr Bk to express their views upon the suggestions of the aditor swlove his departure for Burope is that the supremo duty of the pavty is to fulfil its pledge to reduce transportation ratos. They do not consider it advis- ble to call an sxtra session of tho legis- Iature, because tho course of that was such as to bring discredit upon the intolligence and intogrity of the state, and it is reasonably apprehended that if it came together again the harm it might do wou'd vastly outweigh the good. The menace to the progress and prosperity of the state has passod and we are recovering from ite effects, with the promise that abundant erops will quite restoro to us the contidence that has been lost. [t is belioved that it would be a very grave mistake to repeat the menace, and that the exigency does not require the re- convening of the legislature. THE BEE has no criticisim to make upon this view. ually unanimous is the opinion that the hoard of transportation should act and act promptly in the matter of reduc- ing freight rates. No onoe has expressed this more strongly than Mr. C. G. Dor- soy, who says: *“We should have, must have, and surely will have such action by the state board of transportation as will give us fair rates of freight on farm products to castern markets, and on the main staples from enstern markets to our doors,” Evidently this is the general sentiment with repub- licans who are in sympathy with the in- terests and welfare of the people rather than with the wishes of the railroad managers. They desire that the party shall give the relief it has promised, and for which there is now most favorable opportunity. The outlook is for a splen- did harvest in Nebraska, and its value to the producers will be materially en- hanced if they are given lower trans- portation rates. No one who knows anything about the matter ques- tions that this can be done and still give the lroads a liberal profit. Shall the corporations be allowed to take millions of dollars from our peo- plo by charges which everybody knows to be unreasonable and unjust? Will the board of transportation heed the opinions and wishes of republicans in this matter, or will it continue to ig- nore tho people in the interest of the railroads? If it intends to make an hon- est effort to redeem the pledgo of the re- publican party to give the pecple relief there is no time to lose. There is a very Iarge stake dependont upon the decision of the hoard, and as republicans con- cerned for the intorests of the party and as citizons desiving tho welfare of Ne- braska its mombsrs ought to realize their duty and manfully perform it. CARLISLE ON THE SITUATION. There is no democrat in the country whose political views are of greater value than those of Senator Carlisle of Kentucky. He is not given to much talking, but when ho does say anything for publication it is accepted ps the can- did expression of his best judgment. Me. Carlisle has always been . very friendly to Mr. Cleveland. Perhaps no man in congress was stronger than he in the confidence of the last administra- tion. He was more frequently in con- sultation with the democratic president than any other man outside of his ofti- cial tamily. For these reasons it was a vory suggostive doclaration of Mr. Car- lisleina recent interview that *noone can predict now who will be the democratic nominee for the presidency in 1892.” In the opinion of the Kentucky senator a great deal will depend upon the action of New York, and if that state sends a delegation to the national convention instructed for a New York man ‘“‘the delegates from other states will either take him or go outside of the state for a candidate.” The assumption is that Hill will have the Now York delegation, and tho application of Mr. Carlisle’s ro- mark is that this would end Cleveland. It has been suggested that the ex-presi- dent might remove from New York and establish himseif as a citizen of New but this would hardly help him. bo so clearly acon- of his ‘weakness in the Iim- pire state that it would very likely harm him. If he cannot secure the New York delogation in 1892, he will have no better chance, if so good, of getting the democratic vote of that state than he had in 1888, and he could not improve his chances by hailing from New Jor- soy, for instance. Accepting the view of Mr. Carlisle as the one likely to con- trol the next democratic convention, the conclusion must be that Mr. Cleve- land has very littlo show to bo again the candidate of the democracy for the presidenc If his nomination depends upon his having the Now York deleg tion his chances, from present indi tions, will be very small. But Mr. Carlisle is not discouraged by the possibility that the democracy m: have to look outside of New York for a candidate. He professes to believe that “‘unless tho situation changes very atly we can elect any honest and capable domocrat who is nominated in 1892, and thereforo the senator thinks it is not worth whilo to waste time in the attempt to predict who he will be. Of course this is perfunctory, but if Mer. Carlislo is founding his faith upon the elections of last year he will dis or whon those of the present year are over that the situation has changed very greatly. Thoe people who were misled last year by prophecies of evil, and at the dictation of their fe: doserted the republican party, arc scoing things now with a clearer vision and intelli- gent undorstanding, and gon- erally have roturned their former party alloginnce and will be found faithful it in the coming contest. Democratic predietions of disaster have lost their influence, and before the nextnational campaign comes on the increased prospority of the coun- tey will compel that party to apologize for having deceived the people. The democracy s already heavily capped by internal dissensions regarding candidatos and policies, and it is gother probable that before the first ses- sion of the next congress ends it will be in a far worse position.

Governor Thayer has made a mistuke. { Ho should at once suspond Superintend- ent Test and Steward Liveringhouse, of | the Hastings asylum, pending the in- vestigation of churges affecting the honesty, efficiency and moral conduct in connection with their duties in the in- stitution. The board of public lands and buildings has evidence suflicient to establish a prima facio > against them. Under these circumstances their suspensions should follow as a mattor of course. Should the investigations fail to sus- tain the chargos the gentlemen con- concerned would be vindicated by a prompt restoration to duty. Their retention in office during the pro- gress of the inquiries into asylum affairs 15 0 hindrance to a thorough examina- tion. It wives thom an opportunity for concealing facts which in their absence would be readily obtained, and of influ- encing witnesses who may possess infor- mation of great importance to the board in its investigation. It is the governor's privilege, ever to continue his friends in oftice the face of public opinion and very sus- picious circumstances, There is no ap- peal from his judgment upon the ques- tion. The board must do its duty regard- less of the course of the executive. On account of the failure of the gov- ernor to suspend the nceused officials its work will be more difficult. nevertheless, they can take time and they should take time to go to the bot- tom of the whole scandalous mess of rumors, facts and circumstances. The naked truth is what the public wants, no matter who suffers by the exposures. If half the statoments made about the peculations of Liveringhouse and the disgraceful behaviour of Test are true the Hastings asylum will need fumiga- tion of a most radical character before it will be a healthy public institution. how- in HELD TO THE CONTRACT. It was expected that tho North Amer- ican eommercial company, the lesseo of the right to take fur seals for a period of twenty years on the island of St. Paul and St. Georgo in Alaska, would protest against the agreement betweon the United States and Great Britain for a closed son and demand large com- pensation for being deprived of its priv iloge for a year. This it has done, claiming compensation to the amount of $400,000 for losses sustained by being or- se: dered out of the sealing waters last year before it had taken the quota of seals to which it was entitled, and also such fur- ther sum as it may lose the present season in consequence of the agreement for a cessation of seal catching. The company domands, further, to bo reimbursed for expendi- tures made for the maintenance and edu- sation of the inhabitants, as required by its contract, and estimated at about 150,000. It must be confessed that the company makes out a strong case, and the government will find some difficulty in framing an argument to justify a re- fusal to meet its demands. The terms of the contract between the government and the company ave plain and explicit, and it does not appear that the latter has in any respect failed to comply with them. It would scom to be unquestion- able that the agreement for a closed season contravenes the vested rvichts of the company and gives it justclaim to compensation and re- imbursement. [f that allowed the government will have a bill to pay that will not fall far short of a million dol- lars, This circumstance will afford a text for those who condemn the policy of leasing the right to take seals to a com- pany, thereby establishing a monopoly to which the government is a party. and it may lead to an annulment of the con- tract with the North American company and the adoption of some different plan no less advantageous to the government, s wus suggosted in the last congross, and a discussion of the matter elicited the information that the government had not been receiving. all it was entitled to, but nothing was done and the treasury department finally aceepted the proposal of the North American company and elosed the con- tract with it. The promise is that the government will find it to bo a pretty ex pensivearcangement.butcloarly the com- pany is not at fault and cannot fairly be critized for asserting its rights. Of course the protest will have no effect upon the agroement between the United States and Great Britain, which is in operation and will be maintained in good faith by both governments during the period specified for its continuance.

THOROUGH INVESTIGATIO) — Platfsmouth Jourdal: Tue Ben Has set about an investigation of the affairs of the Hastings asylum for incurables, it which its fieures point to a good sized steal by meavs of duplicate pay vouchers by J. W. Livering- house, the steward, assisted by Dr. Test, the superintendent. York Times: Sincesuch serious charges have been made against the management of the Hastings insane asylum the management should step forward, and demand a_thorough investigation. If they hold back, the investi- gation should be made all the same. If the officers can not live on the salavies they re- celve, without looting the state, they should not delay in hunting another job. Brownville News : It has just como to light that the officials of the insaue asylum at Hastings have been engaged in a systematic swindle and tho state has been defrauded out of a large sum of money, tho amount of which has not been ascertained. This will perhaps lead to other investigations, and the taxpayers may find whero somo of their money is going, and why it is that deficiency bills are brought befora the legislature nearly every session by so many of our state nsti- tutions, Wahoo Wasp: Tur Bre's expose of rot- tenness and fraud in connection with the management of the Hastings nsane asylum is 10 great surprise to some of us, ana Gov- ornor Thayer will now have to explain why he was so_anxious to remstato the old man- agement there. We had a hiut several months ago froma former employce that there was crookedness there. And that former omployeo was not Dr. Stone, either Let the guilty be punished to the full extent of the law. Fremont Tribune: Secrotary Allen very properly declares that there will be no monkey work in connection with the examination of the condition of the accounts and exvenditures of the Hastings asylum. As Dr. Testana Stewarl L ouse voluntar- ily offerevery facility for finding out the exact condition there doesn’t appear to be anything in the way of going to the bottom of the mat- ter and rovealing the alleged rottenness or showing, on the othor hund, that everything is us straight as a striug. Wayne Democrat: Ti: Bex has discov- ered and unearthed a vast amount of corrup- tion in the building and management of the hospital for the in¢trable insane at Hastings, It not only shows that the state was swin- dled by wholesale i, the construction of the building, but that the: present management is taioted with &orraption, and specific charges are made thit the steward, J. W, Liveringhouse, has,cled out the emoluments of his ofice by duplicating vouchers, ete The matter shoulifi be thoroughly investi gated. Grand Island Tadependent: In the Hast ings asylum affair the proper thing to do is to suspend judgmentsuntil a full investiga- tion disclosos all the [facts, Any man can mako chargos, but eowiction should procedes seutence.
