It issafe to assert, however, that Perkins will not run quite as far against the current of republican sentiment as the late Senator Plumb, S PRESIDENT HARRISON gave the Trans- mississippi country a representation on the Interstate Commerce commission and that is a distinet gain, He might have done that, however, and have ap- pointed a member from the Trans- missouri region at the same time. THE people’s party convention will colebrato Washington’s birthday by holding a national convention in St. Louis. If peace is desired on that oceasion it will be well to bar out U. Hall and his little anti-sub treasury hatchet or the institution will be split in a more disastrous way than at In- dianapoli YESTERDAY'S receipts at the stock yards were the greatest in the history of our market. Omahu’s chances of gaining second place as a stock market are growing brighter every day. This is not to be expected as a matter of course, but it is the result of well di- rected effort ou the part of the manage- ment, which is branching out in all directions, — THE Denvor News, the ablest and best democratic daily newspaper west of Chicago which has long been advocat- ing the nomination of David B. Hill for the presidency has turned, its back upon the New York politician since his Al- bany banquet speech against free coin- age and predicts that Cleveland and Hill have both placed themselves out- sido the realm of presidential possibili- tles, thus maksng “‘pretty clear sailing’ for a western candidate, THAT Deming, ew Mexico States commissioner, has a lovel head. He decided in the case of a Chinaman who slipped across the Mexican line that “‘tho country whence he came” wus Mexico, and he therefore sent him back into Mexico. Now let the commissioners along the British American boundary adopt the precedent and this business of smuggling celestinls into the United States will be greatly discournged. The American government will escupe a large expense for veturning the slant- eyed gentlemen back to China, also. United THE new council has made a start by verfecting its organization in the elec- tion of Councilman Davis to the pre donoy for the ensuing yoar. Mr. Davis is thoroughly competent to discharge the duties of the oflice. Ho has been an active member of the council for three yoars and is fully conversant with the rules and routine business of the council. Mr, Davis hus been honored with the prosidency of the council npon the as- surance that he was heartily in accord with the demand of the people for bet- ter government as expressed in the last election. He will now have tunity to prove himself worthy of the esteem and confidence of a large body of our vitizens who have not heretofore boen satisfied with his ofticial conduct, an oppor- 1 NOTEIWORTHY DISSEN In the west, where we are familiar with the schemes of railway corpora- tions for building their own towns and ignoring the rights of those already es- tablished, there will be general regret at the decision of the supreme court in the case of Yokima City va the Northern Pacific railway. The incident which gave rise to this famous suit, famous because of the strong dissent minority of the court to the opinion of the majority, is one which has at least dozen parallels in Nebraska alone. The Northern Pacific Railvoad company, exfending its line to Puget sound, re- fused to locate a depot at Yakima City, a flourishing village started before the railroad route had been surveyed, but, running its trains through the town, established Novth Yakima four miles distant upon land owned by oficers of the company. The purpose of this action was, of course, to kill the old town and sell lots in the new. The case was fought through the courts on a demnnd from the old towns- people for depot privileges. it is now five or six years at least since the invi- dent complained of oceurred. The lower courts sustained the plea of the Yakima City people” but the ,supreme court re- versed the decision and justifies tho action of the compan, It is worthy of especiu of the ablest strongly passionately, dissent with the majority. Judges IMield, Harlan and Brewer have nosuperiors on that able bench, if indeed any other three of the judges are theiv equals in point of legal ability. Jus tices Field and Harlan are two of the oldest members of the court, while Jus tice Brewer is noxt to the youngest in leugth of service. It therefore an especial compliment that the very vig orous dissenting opinion should written by him. Ho recites what reads to the ordinary individual like unan- sworablo logic and grows politely indig- nant when he suggests that the position taken by the majority of the court—that y company may locate 1ts own stations without regard to the interests of the people—is justified by neither law nor common d Vory many lawyers of recognized ability will be of the opinion that the opinion of these three justices is far better law thun that promulgated under the authority of thoir brethren. The peoplo will agree with the dissenting justices to a man, and the people are very often right on important legal well as important political and moral questions. of a 1 note that three judges almost he THE NEW COMMISSIONG The vacancies in the [nterstate Com- merce commission caused by the death of General Bragg some months ago and the resignation at a later date of Judge Cooley, have been filled by the appoint- ment of Judge Lindsay of Kentucky to succeed the former and Judge McDill of Towa as the successor of the latter. The term of Mr. Morvison expived at the be- ginning of the curvont yeur und he has heen reappointed. The president made the selections for the vacanvies after lgnz and careful deliberation, and there is rouson to be- lieve with due and thorourh cousidera- tion of the claims of the numerous candi- s who were presentod to his atten: tion. [t was urged upon him to ap- roint at least to one of the vacancies man of practical exparience in commor- Lafaivs, or one having familiarity with the details of transportation, but tho president evidently rogards the com- mission as essentinlly a judicial body, and theveforo appointed lawyers. Judge McDill, who, as the successor of Judgo Cooley, will bo chaivman of the commis- sion, is well equipped for the position. Ho has had large expevience in pub- lic affaivs, isa lawyor of superior abil- ity, and has had opportunity to very thoronghly study the transportation: problem, particularly in its relation to western interests. His appointmont will be gratifying to the people west of the Mississippl us u recognition of this sec- tion, until now not represented on thoe commission. Judge Lindswy of Kon- tucky oceupies a high rank among the jurists of that state, and from what is suid of him there is reason to expect that he will prove to bo one of the strongest members of the commission. Judge Lindsay is a democrat, The re- appointment of Commissioner Moreison is a proy vecognition of his fuithful nd There was consider- able opposition to him from his own state, lllinois, but the lent has done well in disre With these appointmeats the commis- sion will again be complete, consisting of the following membors: J, W.

THE MAVOR'S INAUGURA L The inaugural message of Mayor Bemis is an eavnest response to the popular appeul for retronchment and ro- form in the conduct of our municipal affairs, Mayor Bemis poiuts out to the new council its plain duty to the taxpuyers and the opportunity which now presents itself to restore confidence in Omuna and give an impetus to private as we as public enterprises, Ila serves n upon all subordinate officials thut they will be held rigidly accountable for any neglect or violation of duty and u-ges the council to r1eorganize the existir departments with a view to di with emploves that are rendering no service for thoir saluvios or whose work should be performod by other officils Mayor Bemis urgos the early com pletion of the city hull building, which, when ocenpied by the city officials, will facilitate mutual intercourse botwosn oflicials und save the city nlarge amount in rentals, QThe concluding portion of the augural will commend itself to all citi zens who hope to suppross boodlevism and jobbary, but specially to all concernod, Every oity officiul is was against bscoming in an) ested in city contracts and those who are likely to become parties to any con tract, directly or indiractly, ave politely requested to resign.

While Mayor Bemis does not ake to make specific recommen for the changes that ho deems essentinl to more economic and efficient govern- ment, he intimates that he will at an oarly day submit such suggestions in a specinl message. It now remains for the couneil to vital- iz the reforms demnanded by the people by co-operating with the mayor in his endoavor to clear the municipal under brush and restore confidence in the in- togrity of our city government, THE PROPER POLICY. The senate of the New York legisla- ture was 1ized yesterday without any attempt at obsteuction on the part of the republican members. In this they pursued the proper policy: regardless of the question whether ov not an offort to provent organization would have heen futile. Unquestionably the first expres sion of indignation by republicans fol- lowing the decisions of the court of appeals which gave the senate to the dewmocrats, and the disposition then munifested to resist what appeared to be a deliberate defeat of the populur will for n pavtisan purpose, was in the cir- cumstances pardonable. The course taken by Governor Hill in arbitrarily attempting to steal the senate was exas- ting, and the subsequent conduct of iin democratic judges served to in- tensify this feeling. An emergency was presented in which it seemed to be the evident purpose of the democratic ma- chinoe to capiure at all hazards the full control of the state government. Then it was that the republicans invoked the protection of . the courts, and having done this their plain duty was to submit to the They were not debarred the right to criticize the decisions and to publicly denounce them as partisan, but they were estopped from offoring any resistance or obstruction to the re- sult of the decisions. There is no higher obligation upon the citizen, in whatever ion. than that of respecting judicial \thority, and it is gratifying to know ating circom- stances the republican members of the New York senate have {ully recognized this obligation. A different course would in any event have been an unfortunate and dangevous example. In his messago to the legislature Gov- ernor Flower induiged in congratula- tions upon the fact that for the first time in cighty yeurs the governor was able to address his suggestions to a legistature in political accord with the exccutive. [t remains to be seen whether this fact will inureto the wel- fare of the people of the Empire state. The very general belief is that the present governor will be a mere figure- head, and that David Bennett Hill and the Tammany lengers will be the par- ties from whom all important sugges- tions will proceed. In that event the public welfiwre will be subordinated to the interests of the dominant politicians, and the people of New York may soon learn to repent having placed the de- mocracy in power. One thing as- sured, no offort will be spaved by the the men who have control of the demo- eratic machine in New York to retain power and they confidently expect to keep that stute in the democratic line indefinitely. under- fons orgi result. is THE OHIO SENATORIAL CONTEST. The caucus of the republican mem- bers of the Ohio legislatuve, to nomi- nate w successor to Senator Sherman, will be held tonight, and it is alveady practically settled that Mr. Sherman will be numed for re-election. His sup- porters claim that they have an assured majority of ten to twelve, and the ex- pressions of the Foraker men indicate that thoy regard the claim as being wellfounded. L The Ohio senatorial contest has com- manded the close actention of repub- licans throughout the country, and it has beon conducted with great vigor und ournestness on the partof the can- didates and their friends, among the latter, it is to be rogretted, not without some bittern which can do the re- publican cause in Ohio no good. It was a prominent factor in the t state campaign, and wus perhaps serviceablo in avousing republicans and thereby getting out the full strength of the party. But it has developed a strong factional feeling that augurs ill for the party in the future if the hot heads on either side are not brought unaer con- trol. At this time the supporters of ex-Governor Foraker - ave showing a very bad spivit. They are indulging in threats and charging that the national administration has haen exerting its in- fluence for the defeat of their candidate. This is undoubtedly us wholly gratuit- ous as would be the counter-charge that Blaine influence had been used in the intorest of Mr. Forak There is no evidence that the administration, or more properly speaking, the president, has felt any other intevest in the eon- test than that common with republicans everywhere, When the election of a speaker of the Ohiohouse of represonta- tives foreshadowad the success of Sen- ator Shevman, Secretary of the Treasury Foster sent the senator a congratulatory telegram, but this in no wise involved tho administration, for evorybody must have known that Foster's sympathies were with Sherman, as they always have been in every political relution with which the latter has been identified The disposition munifested by the iviends of ex-Governor Foraker to array themselves against the president is therefore unwurranted and may prove to be unfortunate. The republicgrs of Ohio, not loss than of other states, necd to avoid at this time everything that will introduce discord and dissension into the party Republican expression throughout the country has been practically unanimous in favor of continuing Mr. Sheeman in tho senute. He is justly vecoznized as in some respects the strongest and ablest stitesman in e und perbaps in the country, whose experience and abil- ity it would not bo wise at present to dis- pense with x-Governor Foraker hus demonstrated that he has u strong and most loyal following in Okio, and his politieal future eannot be uncertain if he ress, DALY remain fuithful to the republican party Ho ted ability, essive intrepld has undou is an nge and leader, and has BEL; WEDNI the-qualities which attract men.

Can as much be said of the ridiculous fake perpetrated by the World-Iferald in its second edition of Saturday and repeated Sunday morning, wherein all tho state officers wore pictured in a state of nev- vous prostration over the report of Boyd’s reinstatement. In its issue of Tuesday its Washington correspondent, Metealf, nails the lie of the fake editor to the mast by stating that the toxt of the pending supreme covrt decision on the Boyd-Thayer contest was sold at from %100 to $200 each to ten newspapers, but it was to be exclusive to only one paper in each section of the country. Now Tik Bii was the only paper that received this toxt by teiegraph from Washington and the £ F. was scooped outright because it lacks enterprise and prefers to steal its news from Tir Bui as it has done for years rather than pay for it.

Philadelphia Ledger: One sentence in ex Governor Hill's spoech on Tharsday night In tho long pending case of the state verses the man, let us over side with the man and his liberty—recalls another. It is the ono which tho state gave Welch, the ballot juggler, with whom the ex-governor promptly sided, with a pardon that gave the man his liverty. Now York Sun: The difference in fecling between the democratic and mugwump camps over tho determination of this important con- troversy is that the democrats are happy over it, and the mugwumps are so disgusted at Mr. Hill's advancement to a height of leader- ship rarely attained in his party’s histor that they éven do not ventura to claim the victory for tho Stuffed Prophet of Broad street, Globe Demecrat: With David B.

Ingianapolis Sentinel (dem.) uso mincing words about this p Governor Hill has laid down with such an air of authority. Itis a program of coward- ice, dishonesty and partissn imbecility. It is @ program of tricker; and false pretense. It contemplates a shameless violation of solemn pledges aud a deliberate abandon wont of sacred principles. There is nothing inittoappeal to the pride, the patriotisin, the mannood of a single democrauic voter in all this land. It is u program born of an un- bridled ambition which would ruin where it cannot rule. It ropresents no respectable body of public opinion and voices nothing but the wishes of a little coterie of political adventurers and mercenaries. Washington Post: He1s not ouly a man of infinite resources, but of indefatigablo aggressiveness and unexampled audacity.
