BLAND and Crisp may yet be forced to settle the question of veracity between them by an appeal o the code duello. SPRINGER'S free wool bill will prob- ably enjoy about as much popularity as the Bland silver bill. This is a do-noth- ing congress, JUNE 1 is now mentioned as the date of the probableadjournment of congress. Fortunately for the country, June 1 is only about two months off. THE secretaries of the State Board of ‘Transportation still maintain a masterly inactivity, but their pay goes right on at the rato of $2,000 a year, THE chairman of the committeo on janitors of the Chicago Board of Educa- tion has been indicted for soliciting a bribe. This is decidedly suggestive. REPUBLICAN clubs should be formed in every city, town and precinet in the state without delay. The noxt cam- paign means business from start to fin- ish. SENATOR STEWART will now, in all probabitity, push his silver bill to a vote and force Hill, Gorman and Brice to show their hand whether it passes or not. — Mit.

There is nothing in parlismentary rules any- where equal to the emergency. —_— CLAUS SPRECKLES is not a philan- thropist. He is a sugar king for the money there is in the dignity. Conse- quently no one is surprised to hear that he has nccepted advantageous terms from the sugar combine, THE police officer who was assaulted and shot at by burglars exhibited good nerve, but his services will be more highly appreciated hereafter if he will manage to get the drop on the burglars instead of giving them that advantage over himself. ATTORNEYS whose avarice leads them to extort unconscionable fees .or to en- gage in sharp practice to acquire real ostate, are beginning to understand that Judgo Scott will make the temporature very torrid in their vicinity. The latest dread Scott decision catches a Burt county attorney in a very disgraceful transaction and burns a hole clsan through him. THE determination of the assessors to list all corporation property in the ward where it is situated, 1o gssess the Belt Line railway as a local corporation, and to include all property not actually used for churches, charitable and benevolent institutions, will beapproved by all good citizens, The prospects are good for a thoroughly honest and efficient assess- ment of all taxable property. Tue Warsprite is reported as a very formidable ship which could make scrap iron of our heaviest cruisers, We are also advised that England has a dozen such men-of-war within easy rench of Bering sea. Nevertheless, it is observed that Lord Salisbury has seen a way for the prompt renewal of the modus vivendi, and poaching sealers are advised that they go into the dis- puted sea at their own risk. —— Tk Real Estate Ownors association will be idle all summer If it proposes to depend upon 1ts circulars to obtain funds for prosecuting the good work it wishes 1o undertake, Circular letters are all right in their way, bat not one man in 100 will give up cash in response to a printed roquest.

E—— FreQUENT burglaries and other depre- dations are conclusive proof that a round-up of all the toughs, vagrauts and disreputables will be good policy.

PARTISAN INJUSTIC Tt was to be expected that the English government organs would ascribe the position taken by President Harrison in the Bering soa controversy to politieal motive: Being on the wrong sido of the argument and unable to controvert the sound and logical contention of this government, it was ontirely natural that the British tory newspapors should en- deavor to balittle our position by charg ing that it was prompted by considera- tions of party expediency, thereby im- plying insincority on the s prosident. This is porhaps pa in the English pross, and pa-ticalarl that po-tion of it which represents the views and policy of the government. But it was not to be expected that this assumption of the lnglish government organs would find authority and ap- proval from any reputable American newspupers, and it 1s o notable illustrs tion of the intensivy of partisan hostil- ity that it has done so. The democratic and mugwamp pross have not hesitated to assure the tory newspapers of Eng- lond that shey were right in believing that the prosident was seeking Lo make political capital out of the controversy for use in the prosidential caaviss They have charged that he was endeayv- oring to foment international trouble for party or personal ends, that his aim was 1o work up an oxcitement over this mat- ter which would arouse national pride and obscure the legitimate issues of the domestic political contest. The course of the administration in insisting upon a proper und adequate recognition of the rights claimed by tho United State: involving the preservation of a grea industry of value to all mankind and imperilled by the piratical opsrations of Canadian poachers, is declaved by the partisan opponents of tho prosident to be a “jingo” policy, dictated by a po- litical exigency. The utter injustice of this charge, to say nothing of the complete lack of patriotic feeling which it implies, must be conceded by every fair-minded man who has carefully followed the progress of the Bering sea controversy under the Harrison administration. Instead of seeking to foment trouble, the conces- sions made in order to avoid trouble have boen made chiefly by this govern- ment. In arcanging the terms of ar- bitration nearly everything asked by the British government was allowed. Twice at least, after it was supposed that everything had boen scttled, Lord Salis- bury proposed changes, affecting more or less radically the original arrange- ment, which wore accepted by the ud- ministration. Although the importance of time,was felt to be urgent, the Stite depattment was most indulgent of the tardy course of the British foreign office and in eveey way, in short, this govergment manifested the most earnest desire to arrange for a peaceable anu honorable adjustment of the contro- versy. After the two governments had set- tled the question of arbitration, und the treaty had been sent to the senate, Lord Sulisbury decided not to renew the agreement of last year for the protec- tion of the seal. This was a very vital matter, and the surprise aud disappoint- ment of the administration at the deci- sion was natural and reasonable. It had expected a renewal of the modus vivendi as an essential condition to arbitration. Lord Salisbury was asked, in diplomatic language as'free from the *jingo” spirit asit was possible to frama it, to recon- sider his decision. He declined in very positive terms to do so, and thereupon this government replied that it must in- sist upon its demand for the protection of the seal and if Great Britain would not join it in giving the necessary pro- tection it wouid assume the task alone. The.e was no menace in this. It was simply an assertion of the determination of the government not to permit its rights to be ruthlessly violated and its luws defled by British subjects, even though their operations had the coun- tenance of their government, and it is a position which should have the approval of every American citizen. The results have most amply vindi- cated the firm, judiciousand patriotic course of the administration. The last note of Lord Salishury is regarded as a concession of the demand of this gov- ernment, the completeness of which is not materially affected by the conditions which he proposes, and which it is un- derstood are satisfactory to the adminis- tration, The partisan critics of the president are discomfitted and the out- come, as now promised, is a diplomatic victary for the administration of which the countryshould be proud. A CII'Y ELECTRICIAN. The ordimance creating the office of city electrician should be enucted with- out delay. There isa sense of uneasi- ness all over the city rogarding the elecvric wiring that has been done heretofore. Much of it has been care- lessly placed and the best business blocks in the city are in dangerof fire from electric sources, The business of lighting by electricity is comparatively new and the multiplied uses to which olectricity is applied have complicatod - the problem of how to deal with this now clement of danger very greatly in all cities. The censensus of opinion is that the mechanical work of placing wires should be performed under expert super- vision, just as plumbing must be done by men who have given proof of their ability as plumbers, except that the rule should go further. Not n wire should be located in a private dwelling or busi- noss block, or upon the streets or alloys, without a permit from the electrician, who should be required to make tests that will afford & guaranty for the safety of buildings. Thus responsibility for any accident arising from negligence might readily be determined and u healthful restraint be thus placed upon electric contractors and companies. Tho inspection of the electric lights may also be placed under his control, though this shou!d by no means be his principal duty. What wo want particu- larly is an expert in olecirical engineer- ing who is familiar with the details of electrical muchinery. His fivst duty should be the inspection of all buildings penetrated by electric light wires, to de- termine whether or not they are se placed as to aveid ordinary risk from fire. He should then familiurize him- self with the whole electrical wire sys- tem of the city. These duties will re- quire an electrician and not a politician, | FOREIGN CAPITAL IN THE WEST. An Englishman who is largely inter- osted in English loan ana mortgage com- panies, which have placed $7,000,000 in western invostments, said to tho repro- sentative of u Danver paper, that Eng- 1ish eapital prefers tha west for invest- ments, but that the coafidence of invest- ors had beon soriously shaken by ad- vorse legislation and by the apprehen? sion that there would be more of it. He said that the alien land law of Texas had kept millions of foreign capital out of that state, and although it had been declared unconstitutional it will be a long time before Texas will rocover from the harm inflicted by the passage ofthe law. Tho demands of the allianco in Kansasand othor states, he said, had also had tho effect to repel foreign capi- tal from investments in the west. There is not the least reason to doubt the credibility of this testimony. Abundant corroborative evidence could undoubtedly be secured without much difficulty. How seriously this want of confidence on the part of foreign capital hasinterfered with the material prosper- ity and progress of the west during the past two or three years can only be a matter of conjecture, but itis not to he doubted that theeffect has beon harmrul, and that the growth of the west must continue to be retarded so long ns the conditions which ara responsible for the lack of confidence remain. The attempt to deprive aliens of rights in property, which was done by the Texas law, is not likely to be general. because it is well understood that such laws are repugnant to our treaty obliga- tions, but there are manyother ways in which capital may be vepelled, and some of these are contemplated in the econcmic policy of the third party. No argument ought to be necessary to prove the obvious proposition that it is not sound policy for a new country to drive aw1y capital, and the more encour- agement that is offered to foreign capi- tal to invest the greater the probability of reducing and keeping down the rate of interest. sinco that capital is usually satisfied with a rcasonable return where the investment is satisfactory. The veople of the west need to give more careful and intelligent study to this sub- ject thav they have heretofore done. In order to stimulate development they must invite capital by giving it every necessary assurance of just ncotection. LHE TREATY RATIFIED, The senate has unanimously ratified the Bering soa arbitration treaty, with- out restrictive conditions. This action clearly indicates that the last note of Lord Salisbury was satisfuctory to the administration, and that the conditions upon which he stated that the British government would renew the agreement of last year will bo accepted by this gov- ornment. Until this note was received the general feeling in the senate was that the treaty should be ratified only with the condition that the modus vivendi be renewed, and undoubtedly this is what would have been done had Lord Salis- bury persisted in his decision. His concession, however, changed the situa- tion most materially, and the earnest desire of this government to reach a penceable and honorabls settlement of the Bering sea dispute is again mani- fested in tle attitude of the administra- tion and the action of the senate. ‘This controversy may now beregarded as practically at an end, so far as di- plomacy is concerned. There will be some further correspondence relating to the new conditions proposed by the British government, but no difficulty is apprehended in coming to a satisfactory understanding. The United States gov- ernment having now fully performed its part, it is to be presumed vhat the Brit- ish government will lose no time in mak- ing good its assurances, and if the con- troversy shall be submitted to the arbi- trators as promptly as possible a settle- ment may be renched before the sealing senson of 1893 comes round. At uny rate, oll present danger of a more serious con- flict over this dispute has passed, and the administration of President Harri- gon is to be credited with a notable dip- lomatic victory. PURSUING THE WRONG POLICY. In laying out the paving districts for the present year the council should en- deavor to work from the ceuter to the circumference. Thore are still fifteen or twenty unpaved blocks in the very heart of the city. Douglas, between Sixteenth and Twentieth, and the cross streots west of Sixteenth to Twentieth between Farnawm and Dodge are pertect quagmires and the paved thoroughfares that have been the pride of the city are constantly overlaid with the mire that is deposited upon them after every rain storm from the adjacent unpaved streets, This isalso true of Park avenue, Georgia avenue and cross streets in the south- western portion of the city. In a mons- ure this noglect to pave from center to ciroumferenco has also made almost im- passable the paved streets in the north- ern portion of the city and made strect cleaning and street sweeping almost useless. The policy of paving by strenks here and there in the outskirts and leaving whole streets unpaved in the population and traffic centers is unbusiness like and destroys the primary object of our pave- ments, namely, the ecleanliness, healthfulness and ease of locomotion, S0 long as the present policy is pursued we may as welt discontinue street clean- ing and quit bragging about Omaha be- ing the best paved city in the west. S em— AS MIGHT have been expected the Pullman car bill, which p-oposed to regulate the ratus of fare on sleeping cars, has been defeated by the Iowa legislature.

BRYAN'S organ in these parts, commenting on the speech of the hand- me-down statesman from Nebraska, pro- fesses to have discovered that tho tariff legisiation of congress has increased tho number of tonant farmers by making agriculturo less profitable. Admitting, for the sake of argument only, that the tariff has made farming less profitabie, how can any sane man conclude that it increases the number of tenant farmers? Will u shoemaker hire hands to make shoes when he finds it unprofitable to mako them with his own hands? The idea is preposterous that a renter can cultivate the land he rents at less cost than the owner of the same land who has no rent to pay. 1f the Bryan argu- ment were correct the owners of lands would not be able to secure tonants on any condition, Tie deeper the Chicago grand jury digs into the municipal compost the moro rotten becomes the mess, Just Like the Metal, Phitadelphia Times.

The tory newspapers of Encland are fain to bolieve that the vigorous policy adoptod by the president regarding the Bering sea matter is a bid for political favor. They say about tho same thing whenever the presi- dentofl this country signs a bill or holas a reception. In fact, Bnglish newspaper writers soom to beliove that presidential elcctions are held in America every fifteen minutes. —_ Doath of a Noted Editor. v Kansas City Journal, For mors than, twenty .years Morrison Mumford has been & prominent character and an important factor in political and general affairs of the rapidly growing west, and to Kansas City he has been a never faltering champion snd a never tiring friend. His death leaves his place vacant. In whatever be undertook to do ho never recognized the possibility of failurd so long as physical en- durance and time left a straw within his grasp, Countless beneficiaries of these characteristics of the man will road of the ecding of his life work with feelings of the sincerest grief. If there ave any exceptions #o the rule, they aro of those who received but never gave. At all times bis chief pride was his news- paper (tho Times). In that wero centercd his ambitions, his hopes and his cares, It is not without warrant to say that his failure to stem the tide of business complications, which resulted in the loss of his paper. was In & very great measureresponsible for his death, This fact, if nothing else, would account for the feeling of universal sympathy that tocay porvades this commumty, where his every influence has been so strongly felt. The world is just to ono who has its éympathies, and even enc- mies and cowards smile approval of the truth when death stands witness. ——— ELIOT AND THE MORMONS, Boston Travelef: He certanly owes his colloge ana commonwealth zu explanation, if Lie has one to ofter{'and if he is prepared to stand by what' be said on the occasion re ferred Lo wo caomoy help thinking thav his usefulness ut Hapvard is over, New York Adydttiscr: By the utterance of a few kindlv monplaces he has doubt- less won the Mormon heart.

BOTH SIDES THOROUGHLY REVIEWED At the Conclusion of the Statements of the tion Was Taken vols- fon Expected To Laxcory, Neb,, March 20.—|Special Telo gram to Tue Ber|-The motion of the attornoys representing Goneral Thaver to reopen the Thayer-Boyd caso was argued bo foro the supreme court this forenoon. Thuyer was reprosonted by Blair and Reoso and Governor Boyd by as published in Tur Br asked the court to reopen the case and por- it Thayer to file a reply to Boyd's auswor. General Cowin mado a strong argument in opposition to the motion. He called tho at- tention of the court to the fact that Tha, damurrer was not an ordinary demurte that it was in fact a prayer for judgment on tho pleadings. e stated that the Nebraska court bad not only sustained tho demurrer, but uad entered judgmenton tho pleading and issued a writ of ouster on Boyd without giving the lattor an obportunity to file un amended answer. General Cowin then roviowed the case from Its inception to tho day the opinion of tho supreme court of the United Stutes was recorded. He main- tained that the sunreme court of the United States had by a majority of a quorum of the bench ostablished the fact of Governor Boyd’s citizenship, Mr. Cowin spoke for oyer an hour and_his briof argument was both eloquent and complote. In reply Mr. Blairargued that the docis- fon of the supreme court of the United States in effect decided nothing but that tho Ne- braska court erred in sustaining Thayer's urrer. - On the quostion of citizenshin ho maintained that four judges haa disscnted from the opinion of tho other four, thus leay- ing the question undecided. Judge Reese of tLis city also mado a briof arguuent on the motion to reopen the case, At the conciusion of the argumonts Chief Justice Maxwell stated that tho motion would be taken under advisement. No de- cision is looked for before tomorrow. Rallroad Company Makes Answer, The attornoys of the B. & M. railroad have filed their answer to tho complaint made by tho citizens of tho town of Rulo beforo the State Board of Transportation in regard to the opening of Commercial street across the company’s right of way through that town, In their complaint the Rulo people asserted that the railroad company had closed one of the principal business thoroughfares of the town to the great inconvenience of the people. The railroad company answers that thera is a deep excavation whore tho railroad crossos the street referrod to which in- terfores with the use of the stroet as a public highway ; that it is wholly impracticable to Rrado the street across the right of way and vhat it is equally impracticablo to bridge the same ovorhead.” A crossing at the piace in- dicated would oo unnecessury aud danger- ous. Ivis also alleged that the public is not inconvenienced by reason of the closing of thestreet. as the street on either side is open and kopt in good ropair.
