He was not allowed ‘to setain his office long enough to insugurate any reforms. It should be said, to his credit, that immediately aftor taking the oath of office,and entering upon his duties as chief oil inspector he began investiga- tions which would probably have brought to his notice some of the defects of the law and the inefticiency of its enforcemont. Mr, Heimrod was ap- pointed by Governor Boyd and, of course, stepped out of office when the supreme court ousted the chief execu- tive. ason of in the THE THE OIL INSPECTION FARCE, Tui Bex has ht into the oil inspec- During the past week been gradually letting the li dark recesses of the Nubrask tion law and the methods of the success- ful political strikers who been as- signed to“the duty of collecting and for the most part keeping 10 cents a barrel for alleged enforcement of the law, The render who has followod the discussion sred the following facts: he law is very loosely drawn The interpretation of the law deprives the employes of r: Wl other of because those corporations buy their il- luminating oils from houses outside the state Third.

THE B wishes to see it enforced to the letter, and delio it voices the sentiment of the people of the state at large in insist- ing that it shall not be a dead letter. close and A MEANS TO COMMERCIAL SUPREMACY. The postmaster general has announced ptéd bids for carrying the mails on ocean routes under the act of March 3, 1801, The carrying out of these con- tracts, which on all but one route run for ten years, will muke an important addition to the occan transportation facilities of the United States, though not so grent as had been hoped for. Only second and thivd s ves- sels are contracted for, the pro- visions of the law not heing deemed sufficiently liberal to induce capital to invest in first-class ships. However, a beginning has been made in increasing our ocean marine, and it muy be expected that the benefits which will acerue to our foreign commerce even from this limited addition to our trans- portation facilities will have the effect to reduce popular objection to the policy of legitimate government assistance in building up a merchunt marine, and induce capital to seck investment in this department of enterprise, There undoubtedly has been a very great change in public opinion within the last two years regarding the neces- sity for the growth of our foreign com- merce of American stenmship lines, and also with regard to the question of gov- crnment aid in encouraging the estab- lishment of such lines. This has been brought about very largely by the con- census of opinion among the representa- tives of South American countries who visited the United States two years ago, as weli as by the uniform oxpressions of South American merchants that the measure of success in our commercinl velations with the countries to the south of us would be in a very great degree do- termined by our ability to carry on the trade with them in our own ships and under our own flag. It s conceded by all who have given intelligent consideration to the subjeet, that in order to secure the full benefits of reciprocity we must do our own carrying business, or tho greater part of it. So long as our manufac- turers and merchants are compelled to depend upon foreign ships to transport their goods they must be at a disad- vantage, and the practical conditions are not alone to be considered. There is a moral or senti- mental effect which is not en- tively without potency when American geods are landed at Rio, or Valparaiso, ov any other port of South America by an English, or German, or KFrench steamer, llying the colors of its nation- altity, Noreasonable man will question that the flag carries with it some prestige and influence, and it cannot be doubted that the frequent appearance of the stars and stripes in the ports of the southern continent. covering shipments of Ameri- can morchanaise, would have a very de- cided effect in stimulating trade with this country and in increusing respoet fovrus. The long absence of our flag feow the ocean is naturally regurded by the people of other countries us conclu- sive evidence of a lack of enterprise in a most important direction, and like- wise of a want of patriotism ul- together discreditable to a great and wealthy nation. These impressions have had their influence upon our past commercial relations with the southern countries, and while we have been able to enlighten the people of those coun- e somewhat the conditions which have made flag almost a strangor to the seas, we cannot permit this siwuation to continue indefinitely without suf’ering an impairment of the awakening interest toward us commer- clally that is taking place in the South American countries. No one who will study this subject intelligently and without prejudice can fail to conclude that adequate transportation facilities are indispensable to commercial premucy. The experience of all nations demonstrates this.

EXCLUDING FOREIGN CAPITAL, Among the resolutions adopted by the mining congress recently held in Den- vor was one declaring that the alien act passed by congross s years ago, “at least so far as it opeeates to exclude foreign capital from investment in min- ing lands in tho territories, is falso in principlo and pernicious in effect, and tiat. therefore, the interests of the mining territories demand at the hands of congress its immediate repeal.” This olution the practicall minous endorsement of the congress, and is therefore to beaccopted as reflect- ing the deliberate juagment of the men most concerned in the development of the mining interests of the west. It is not the first expression of a similar character, and therefore shows that the matter is regarded as of serious import- ance by those most familiar with the effect of the law. The alien act was passed by con, at a time when there was an urgent pop- ular demand for legislation to put a check to the ownership of lands by aliens, the effect of which was to lead men to adopt extreme views of what was necessary to protect the public lands for the benefit of American citizens. Par- ticularly in the west an almost universal sentiment was developed jn favor of rad- ical measures to prevent lands from falling into the hands of fo cigners. and it was in response to this feeling that congress passed the act, the repeal of a purt of which is now asked by the western mining interests. There can be no question that the Jaw has op- erated to the more or less serious detri- ment of those interests so far ¢ the territories are concerned. As soon as the nature of the law same known abroad foreign in- vestments in .mining properties to which the actapplied practically ceased, and as home capital could not be ob- tained in required amounts develop- ment was retarded. Of course it would be impossible to make any trustworthy computation of what has in this way been lost to the west, but the amount must be very consid- erable. Perhaps this exclusion of foreign capital from investment in min- ing lands has not heen at the expense of the country r.s a whole, because the al has found investment in other ways, but it has been a direct loss to the west. The expediency of prohibiting alien ownership of large arcas of agricultural lands is not questionable, and doubtle: it would have heen well if such a polic had been adopted coincident with the opening of the public lands to settlement. The arguments in favor of this policy are obvious and conclusive. But excluding foreign capital from investment in mining lands is a quite different matter. Such lands are limited in area, they have no value for settlement or for agricultural pur- poses, and when the miners are through with them they are practically worth- Alien ownership of such lands could work mo injury to anybody, but the investment of foreign capital in developing the mining proper- ties would be of benefit in a number of ways, chicfly in paying for Amevican machinery and American labor. Tt is u purely practical question, to bo determined mainly by considera- tions of self-interest. If it be desirable that we taake slow progress in the development of our mineral resources we can confine such enterprise to home capital, but if it be wise to push the de- velopment of theso resources as vigo ously as possible then we should seek the assistance of foreign capital, which has always been move ready to go into investments of this character than home capital. Unsuccessful attempts have been made to repeal that portion of the alien act condewned by the mining con- gress, but this fact should not discour- age another effort. The action asked is not alone in the interest of the west, but of tha whole country. PRISO 1BUR SYSTEMS. Penology and the philosophy of crime are year by year attracting more and more attention. Whether punishment should be with a view altogether to the reformation of the criminal, or rather to restrain him for the protection of his fellowmen without the hope or expecta- tion of reform in the personal habits and charncteristics of the criminal, is a question upon which students of crimi- nal anthropology are not yet agreed, Some thinkers ave of the opinion that criminals become so obtuse in their moral sense practically to be without conscience, without remorse, and incapable of moral advancement. On the other hand there are a class of philanthropists who devote their time and atteution to advancing the re- formatory idea, carrying their views to the extreme of believing that proper treatment and instruction will reform the character und change the soul of the professional criminal. Usually those are people of firm veligious faith, who be- lieve religion is equal to the complete transformation of the wickedest man in any prison, The prison systems of ¢ teies bave been greatly improved in these lator duys. In the early part of the eighteenth contury there weore four- teen capital crimes in the law of En, land. Today murder and treason alono are punishable by death. The punish- ments inflicted no longer cruel. The pillory, the stocks and similar in- struments of torture have bheen abolished and restraint of liberty with porhaps hard work hos taken their places. The prison fare is no longer bread and water, and solitary confine- ment in dark dungeons is remembered with horror as one of the barbarisms of recoived o ross it capi less. as ed coun- are UNDAY, NOVEMBER Wilh these modifications of the laws and{Blfanges in methods ¢ arisen our ancestors, punishment newdtmeulties hav, Chief of theso {1.the quostion of convict Iabor, und it prosonts difficties which may well attrady the attention of soviol- oglats, I [n a0 exhaustive raport of the States Labor commission, prepared the United States sevoral United by commissioner yenrs ), the joot was oxhaustively amined, but no.satisfactory solution of the growing pegblem proposed Convicts in all popitentiaries must ha some sort of employment.

Objections arise to all these schemes of emyloyment for convicts, In Ne- braska and most states the contract s tem is in vogue and it is probably th best known, but we all appreciate the evils resulting from the competition of convicts with struggling, law abiding laborers, Tl om and the public account system ave open to the same objections, to say nothing of the tendency to corcuption in the latter and the general revulsion of publi timent against government ownership of factories and interference by competi- tion. This is the worst sort of a scandal breeder. The lc system is the vilest of all and, as experience shows, in some of the southern states its tendency 1s to further degrade criminais while ii also subordinates the interests of humanity to pecuniary interests Theoretical veformers propose the following as solutions of the difficult problem. but, as will be seen, there are obvious objections in ench caso: 1.

The suggestion of the geunoral supor- intendent of the railway mail service, that provision should be made by law for the retivement of all permanent railway postal clerks on veduéed puy, who become incapacitated for service by reason of age, or injuries received while in-the discharge of duty, the fund to bo created by withholding a small percentage of the ary of each clerk, is worthy of serious con- sideration. It is easy to see that ob- jection may be raised to establishing a precedent of this kind, inasmuch there has already been some discussion of a project for securing pensions to per- sons who have been steadily in the civil service of the government for a certain number of years, but the clerks 1 the postal service have special and peculiar claims to tho proposed consideration which cannot be urged in behalf of an other class of government employes. The service they perform is both laborious and perilou: Their work performed in a close car, where they stand for hours straining every energ, to complote a task that tdixes their utmost powers of endurance. [t re- markable that men in this service do not become incapacitated sooner than is the case with most postal clerks, for all the requirements of the service are of o nature to make a steady drain upon physical vitality. The peril- ous character of the employ- ment is of urse understood by every man before he goes into the service, but this is hardly a suflicient veason why no provision should be made for such as may be injured, particularly if the means for doing this be derived from the men themselves. It would seem, indved, that the government might very properly take upon itself such an obligation, and without neces- sarily establishing a precedent that could justly be held to warrant any other class of the civil emploves of the government in asking similar consideration, Theve is small probability, however, that the suggestion of the gbneral sunerintendent of the railway mail service will have any result, so strong is the brejudice against creating’ anything of the nature of a civil service pension systom. ‘e sl as is THE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER, Periodically the warfure b upon the Sunday, bowspaper. that the Sunday sewspaper is here to stay does not affégt the argument in the minds of gentlemen who insist that ther shall be none printed with a Sunday date.

Is it not a fact that more people aveinfluenced by what they read than by what they hear from the pulpit? Is it not true that workingmen have no other time for gen- eral reading than Sunday? Is it at all likely that the Sunday paper interferes with the attendance of religiously d posed persons at church or in uny sens obstructs the growth of the religious sentiment in a community? day paper contained nothing but ser- mons and news of the churches and progress of veligion would it then be objectionable to Sabbatarians? Finally as the Sunday paper always contains religious intelligence and ligious discussion; as it is usually a be ter paper in many particulars than that issued any other day in the woek: as it is practically the only source of informa- tion for the poor man who cannot buy booksand who works hard all the weel, it not good sense for the clerical hrethren to turn their attention to elim- inating from its columns such matter as in their judgment is deleterious to good morals, not suitable for Sunday meditation, or is otherwise objec tionable? This would be more sensible than to sit back upon a dignity which is ridiculous and con- demn as ovil a paper upon which the work of printing and publishing is done oa Saturday and which ordinarily con- tains more religious instruction and in- formation th, the average Sunday morning sermon. Practical Chris- tianity spends very little time in worry- ing over technicalities.
