DEAN CURRIER of the Towa univer- sity deliveved a lecture in the university extension course recently on Roman roads, showing their superiority to those of the present day, and how we might learn from them the much noedod 1lesson of better roads in this country. It is needless to say that Mr, Currier found a sympathotic and interested audionce. And yot ho has been lecturing and writing and talking on that subject for years without arousing any interest among practical men 3 THE reported collapse of the Chineso manufacturers in San Francisco because they cannot make theiv financial ends meet is surprisicg to those who have supposed that a Chinaman could always make money in whatever situation he might bo placed, The celestials have at least succeeded in_taking millions of doHars out of this country. The amount of gold that they have carried to China from tho diggings of the Pacific slope would have ndded a great deal to the wealth of this country if ithad remained here. This tendency to carry away their gains greatly assuages the public sorrow over their reported failure td’ make money in manufacturing in San Francisco by the employment cf cheap laborers who even refuse to register under the Geury law. Tue case of Bacley, the express mes- senger who stole $100,000 that was in his care in transit from an Omaha bank to Chicago, has derived o frosh interest from the fact that Hon, James H. Roth- vick of Cedar Rapids, a judge of the Towa supreme court, is trying to create a sentiment in behalf of the prisoner. The judgo has written to the county at- torney nt Davenport, where the pris- oner is to bo o rned, and also to the foreman of the grand jury which in- dicted Bagley, in which hao states his belief thut the latter cannot possibly be sane and otberwise expresses himself in the prisonor’s favor. Ia explavation of his course in writing such letters, which he now acknowledges to huve bsen un- wise, the judgesays that Bagley’s father pursed him th:ough a serious illness in the army. Gratitude is a noble vestura and the impulse to do something for son of bis old friend does him credit, but his remarkably bad judement in acting upou thut impulse, considering that heocoupiesu bigh judicial position, can only bo regretted and condemned. If the oase of Bugley should happen to £0 to the supreme court Judge Rothrick could not sit upon it. A supreme court judge should have more diseretion. Whether there is really any ground for the assumption of insanity or not does not affect the matter in the least. THE PACIKIC RATLRUAD Thirty years,ago lnst July congress | granted a chartor for the construction of a railrond from the Missouri river to the Pacifio const. A which | would have made voted to the as asubsidy, and bonds amounting in all to over fifty mitlions of dollars were issued by the United States to enable the buiiders of the railrond to @ the necos for 1ts construction and These -bonds originally first mortgage, but w secona morlgage, pEnT. land grant ompiry was promoter Paclfic maans equipment. constituted a s converted to a by the corrupt machi- ions of the Credit Mobolier ving, The Pacific railvoad bonds wore issued between 1854 and 1869 as the construction of tho road They wero made payable in thirty years and boar interost ut the rate of 6 per cent' per annum I'he first mortgago bonds issued by the company, of equal amount will also fall due about the same dates, namely botwoeen 1804 and 1899, The hist woll known Central progressed. v of the Pacific railroads is The Union, and Pacific ronds ecach ox- ploited by construction rings made up chiefly of officers of these roads, and millions upon millions frandu lently taken from the vreasuries of these companies and converted into private fortunes. The Central Pacifie railrond, under Stanford, Huntington and Crock was pil ed and gcattied for the benetit Kansas were { passing spasm of virtus and that of the Southern Pacific railroad, which was built by these railroad with the millions they had the Central Pacific, The Union Pacific was stripped and robbed in like fitshion under the very nosos of corrupt government dircctors, whose duly it was to protect the inter ests of the government. kxtensions wera built into Utab, Tdaho and Oregon at the expenso of the main line and construction rings were enriched while the road was being bankeupted. The change of dynasties in the management of the Union Pacific mude no change in the wrecking policies pursued with slight variations from T. C. Durant to Charles rancis Adams and Adams to Gould. Weighted down with an enormous debt the company has lovied rden some fribute upon the peopld west of the Missouri and tax the resources of tho region tributary to it to the utmost. Although its imperial land nt been almost entirely swallowed up and its enr ve exceeded $20,600,000 o yeur for the last decade, the dobt has not diminished. On the contrary it has kept on increasing. ‘The only ereditors who have always beon provided for aro the first-mortgaze bondholders, Their coupons have been promptly paid be- cause these bonds have, for the mést part, remained in the hauds of the Credit Mobelhier people and theie heirs, They. of course, are safe, no matter what becomes of the road. During several successive congresses efforts have been wade to extertd the debt of tho Macific railvoads and re- dueo the interest thereon. The first proposition made by Stanford, Hunting- tonand Gould was to extend tho debt sixty years and reducs the interest from G to 3 per cent. Bills embodying have been roconim road committees in backed by the railvoad companies, but they have failed to_reecive the sanction of the national legislature. It is y ing strange, too, that overy Pacifi railroad funding bill has boeon heartily commended ,by the board of govern- ment dirdctors and by the national commissioner of railways. The report just mado by the present commissioner, Mr. Taylor, urges the passage of the senate funding Dbill with an extension of the debt for 100 years at an intorest rate of 2 per cent. Now if there isto be any extension anted to th s Pacific ronds this provo- ion would certainly commend itself to the people west of the Missouri, who are expectod to pay in the shape of tolls not only tho interest, but the prinecipal. The lower the rate of interest and the more remots the payment of tho prin- cipal the lower the freight rates could be made to the patrons of the road. But the people of the western half of the continent do not in ouropinion favor any 'ueific railroad funding bill, They want the road foreclosod and the water wrung out of its fictitious stocks, Tk want the Pacific road to be in position to compoto av faik es with othor lines who now exact exorbitant tolis because the Union and Central Pacific weighted down by & mountain of debt gre handi- capped and unablo to cut rates except- ing where they do so otly in the shape of lawless rebates for favored shippers., The plea that the foreclosure of the road by the first mortgage holders would entail the loss of the debt due to the government is prepostorous. Who is to pay this uebt under the funding bill? The people, If the debt is to be re- covered at all it should be by forcing the wreckers who exploited the Pacifie rouds to disgorge. Dut to extend their control over the road by funding the debt would be nothi more nov less than legalizing the monstrous frauds and robberies perpetrated by the Credit Mobelier and Central Pacific construe tion ring and unloading the debt these jobbers have created upon the people of the United States in this generation and for the next hundred years, buccaneers stolon from that proposition ded by tho rail- mgress, uswally AEIIHER NEEDED NOR TOLERATED, The prompt and vigorous nction taken by the Omaba police authovities in sup- pressing a discoputable Sunday paper that has long been circuluted by newsboys on the streets of this city ap- peacs Lo have produced the rosult de- sired.

This paper plainly said what it thought of that kind of journalism and warmly ap- proved the action of the authorities, but the attitude of our contemporary was rather encouraging than otherwise to these venders of scandal and obscenity, The sheet was largely filled with refer- ences to decisions of various courts in regard to the circulation of literature of its class and with silly excusos for the publication of scandals upon the high moral ground that viea may thus be i+ | the snmo respect for the authority of the minished It is assumed by the Chicago pub- lishors of this disgeaceful sheet, which boars the name of Omahn and ades mnsquer- production, that the action of thenuthorities here wasn more their vigilapes will relaxed This is not likely to ba the outcoms of the movement, for it is oarnestly por by a strong public sentiment that is growing rather than dying out Omal 1 that kind of litera- ture and will not tolerate it ENLARGE THE FI The movement in behalf of home pat- ronage which bas made such headway in this stato, and particularly in this city, during the past W% necessarily confined to those urti nanufacture and trade which ave producad and sold here, and its oxt will naturally depend upon the increased production of such articles. There has of late boen much talk among business men of the need of an enlargement of the scope of our industrial enterprises so that the homo idea might be more wjdely applied, for it is now nocessary to o outside of the state for many things which the citizens of Nebraska obliged to buy. Without attempting to specify all of the articles of common use which can- not now bo purchased in this state, one of them muay be taken as an example. The steam engine, one of the most indispensable adjuncts- of the tion and pr of the timo, manufactured in Nebraska., Great numbers of them are used, and new uses for them are constantly multiply- ing all over the west, but practicaliy all of them come from the east. The trade of Omaha covers a vast territory in which the employment of steam en as a local vresently ba sup- v does not ne lesof on patronago aro gross is not _ginos in manufacturing, mining, pump- ing, farm work and other operations in which men are constantly embar is steadily and rapidly increasin idea that an engine plant in Omaha is practicable is by no means new. Like somo other needed enterpriser it has been talked of, and men may be heard tospeak of italmost any day, but it does not materialize bec erybody waits for somebody else. Other articles for which there isa owing and spermanent demand in the region contributary to Omaha might be mentioned that could be profitably produced here, and the complete sue- cess of the home patroaage movement requires that the scope of home produe- tion be enlarged to cover them all. uso e UNIFORMITY IN The movement for uniformity in state laws, a reform the need of which all law- yers who have given the subjoct 1ntelli- gont cousidoration admit, is making progress. Commissioners, reprosent- ing eight states held their first meeting to confer onthe subject last August, and a second meeting was recently held in New York. The first couference dealt with simplo subjects, recommending uniformity in the laws regulating the execution of deeds, duys of grace and time of maturity of notes and bills, the certificates of tho ofiicial character of arics, justices of the peace, otc., the Is on deeds, all matters in which uniform laws would ensure much safor resulls in ordinary business deal- ings. The co also adopted conferenco uniform legislation governing the exe- cution of wiils and their probate, and the weights and measu i nily use. As to uniform luws narciago and divorce, it was recommended that tho age of consent be made 18 for males and 16 for females; that every marriage shall require written evidence signed by the parties and attested by witnesses, and that no divorce be granted without idence or servico in tho stite where suit is brought. This movement is hardly more than begun and the fact that eight states have already intercsted themsel in it by the appointment of commissioners gives favorable promise of its success. The merit of the proposed reform will not be seriously questioned. The wido diversity of laws in the various states relating to like matters is a source of in- finite trouble and numerous evils, and it being granted that a vemedy is prac ticable the elfort to provide it should col vy encouragoment. Itisa sub- ject which bar associations everywher should consider with a view to impress: ing upon the legislatures of their states the expediency of the reform, and if this weve genorally dons it would have the effect to greatly hasten the desired consummation, Absolute uniformity in all state laws is perhaps notattainable, and it 1s not the purposs of the reform movement to accomphish this. But there are a great many laws as to which uniformity is ent'rely practicable and would be highly beneficial, 2 ev NATIONAL QUARANTINE, It is now understoold that the s - tary of the treasury will in his annual report dovote considerable spice to the subject of quarantine and will urge that the country needs a national system. He will recommend that this be estab- lished and administered the di- rection of the surgeon general of the marine hospital service, and will take ground in opposition to the proposed re- vival of the National Board of Health, The whole country is intervested in the question of providing the most com- plete precautions against the possible invasion of next year, which the best medical opinion regards as n dunger to b seriously apprenended. Shall it be left chielly with the states to provide quarantine regulations against the disease, supplemented by such lim- ited assistance us the goneral govern- ment may render under existing condi- vions, or shall the duty of establishing quarantine be devolved wholly upon the general government? is the question which congress at the coming session will be called upon to consider and de- cide. Giving the quacantine authorities av New Yorlk the greatest possible credit for what they did to keep cholera out of the country last summer, it willlbe gen- orally admitted that the danger which then threatened would not have bsen so readily avorted but for the interposition of the national authorities. The steam- ship companies would not have ehown vndoer cholera | eral [ with, state that they did to that of the gen- government, whose notice to them thoy must coase bringing immi- its from the infocted districts of Burope was very promptly _complied Thera is eyery reason to believo that but for the Action of the general government in this matter we should have had a quife’ sarious visitation of cholera this year. At any rate, th tha lesson was of a charac- ter to impress the ontire country with the oxpediency fand necossity of a national system of quarantine. What may have been the for orginally placing this most important meusure of protection against the intro- duction of in the coutrol of the states, tho conditions are such gt this time that thoy valid Our vasy fronticr, seaboard practically quate ever reasons contagious disonses ro no longer extent of settled lake mukes it impossible to ade- quarantine protection through the united action of the states, while if tho duty belonged to the genoral govern- ment and a system was proparly organs ized wo should be at all times prepared to promptly meet and avert a threatened danger of the introduction of con and infections diseases. The interior states of the country aro quite as much intorested in this matter as those on the seaboard, for the distri- bution of diseases may be accomplished in several wi In order to prevent this, or to reduce the danger to the minimum, it is obviously necessary that the precautions taken shall bo under one control instead of dependent upon the action of the authovities of a score of states, each at liberty to establish whatever regulations it may think proper, or mnot to establish any. Thoe failure of a single state to doits full duty in this matter would lay the wholo coufiry open to a deadly ion of and securn gious THE QUESTION OF POOLING. The Interstate Commerco commission lias sent to the business men of the country n circulur nsking for communi- cations as to whether it is practicable, and if so advis; the inter- state to legalize competing jle, to amond act 'ts botw commerce pooling cont roads, Opinions are ked as tothe best form of amendmont to socure the best general vesults to the publie. Ata meeting of the Trades league of Phila- delphia n few days ago n resolution was adopted declaring *“that the best intor ests of shippers and carricrs will be sub- served alike by an amendment of the fifth section of the law permitting con- tracts between railvoads for the division of earnings, such “contracts, tariff rates and the operations under such joint con- racts generally to he subject to the ap- proval, supervision and direction of the commission, which should have power after hearing to revoke cither agree- ments or tariff, ob/both.” It wassaid in 50 08 on “the preamble to this resolution that ex- perience has shown that under the fifth soction of the intorstate commerce law the business comfiupity isstill subjected 1o ill results, due-to.an unrestricted and unregulated competition, manifested in unstable tariffs, causig discrimination between persons and localitics. Action by other urade organizations on this subje®t will probably be takenav an ewrly day, and it the general senti- ment is found to be favorable to the sug- gested amendment, which it is quite lilkely to be, doubtless the proposed change will veceive the sanction of tho Interstate Commerce commission, in which case it would undoubtedly be adopted by cougress. This question of pooling has been more or less discussed ever since the nct went into effect, and within the last year or two it has re- ceived very earnest consideration both by shippers and carriers, It is not to be doubted that there has been a grow- ing sentiment in favor of a restricted system of pooling under the supervision of the national commission. xperience and discussion have served to remove from the public mind muen of the old prejudico against pooling, and the fail- ure of associations of railroad managers to accomplish anything practical and permanent in their efforts to solve the difficulties avising from unregulated competition has forced the convietion upon many of those formerly hostils to pooling that that system, under judi- cious regulation, promises the best if not tho only solution, of the problem. The prohibition of railroad pools was a most important legislative experiment and it had general popular support for the reason that uuder the unrestricted and unregulated system pooling usually operated to the disadvantage of tho public. Tt did away with the competi- tion whose effect was to koep rates down. But with a ragulated under the superyision of the Iute: Commerco commission, pooling would have to be reasonabie and the important condition of stability woulgd be secured. The fact must be admitted that the prohibition of pooling has not uccomplished what was expected of it. 1t has not reduced the difticulties of the railrond problem; but rather secems to bave intensified them., Such being tho case, and tho expegiment having had an ample trigl, the demand for the amendment of the'law so as to aliow pooling under legislative regulition appears to be justifiad by considerations of public int st NATIONAL GRAIN INSPECTION. It is expected that during the next session of congress the plan instituted by the farmers alliines to secure lation favorable to fede grain will be vigorously pushed for- ward. During the session last summer the scheme was carried almost to suc- cess, The bill passed the senate under the title, **A bill to provide for fixing a uniform standard of classification of grading of wheat, corn, rye, oats and legis- | inspection of y and for other purposes,” and wus reported favorably to the house. It wus opposed by Iepresentative Warner of New York on the ground that, carried to its logical conclusion, 1t would de- mand a small army of federal employes, and it did not reach & vote, though it was cluimed that all friends of thé farmer would rally to its support and carry it through if a vote were taken, It is now anticipated that another rally will be attempted 1n its behalf at the coming session under the leadership of 1902~ TWENTY PAGES, Chairman Hateh of the house committes on agriculture, o two yenrs measure, ast the friends of this including the secrotary of ag riculture, have been earnestly _ but uietly agitating the subject of fedoral mspection of grain, and no groat secrot has been made of the uttimate purpose to bave a national under the control o One of the chief advocates of the uni form standard said ina circular issued in February, 1890: “I do how this can be done excopt through a na- tional inspection for grain, tho insj tors to he appointed by the head of tho Department of Agriculture, and the standards to bo kept at such department in Washington, and perhaps at the principal markets of the country, and official certificate of the inspoctors mak- ing certain to the purchaser that the quality of the geain delive as stated in said cortificat In sequent circular the same advocato of the measure said: “Iam anxious that you do not put the bill in poril by at temptink at the samo time to authorize national ivspection.” The fact thus ap- pears to be recognized that while thero can be no serious objection to the ostabe lishment of the proposed uniform stundard there would be vigorous and determined opposition to federal super- vision and the increased number of federal oMcials which would be ren- dercd nece It1s upon the latter fround that opposition tothe present bill is being developed The need of a uniform stancdard of grain inspection is vecognized by thoss who have given attention to the sub- t, and it is not easy tosce how na tional supervision could produce any sorious abuses which do not exist under the supervision of the several states. At present various standards ave in force in the different states in which the leading grain markets are located. braska shippers cannot be certain under the oxisting system that their grain will be rated the same by inspectors elsewhere as here. Undor the proposed uniform sy m there could be no chango in its rating after it left tho hands of the Nebraska shipper and the element of unc inty upon this pomt would thus be entirely removed. Another consideration mentioned by Omaha grain dealors in discussing this sul that under the state system there is often great variation in 1- ing grain that does not really differ at all in quality, the assistant inspectors differing in their judgment or in the amount of care which thoy bestow upon their work. As a result of this varia- tion, consignments of grain grown unon the samo fields and procisely equal in every way are rated differently at their distination. The chief objection to the national inspection plan undoubtedly arises from the fact that the inspectors would be salaried officiuls in the employ of tho general government, whereus they are now paid in percentages which come out of the shipper, and thus indirecti out of the producer. 1Does not the same objection apply to the present succe fui and highly beneficial systom of meat inspection? The advantages to be derived from uniformity of standard should not be sacrificed on account of the opposition to federal supervision. system of inspaction foderal officials. not see ed shall be o 8l o sub- A GREAT project, considered with reference both to the engineoring siill involved and its vast industrial possibil- ities, is about completed. This is the utilization of the power of Niagara river to manufacturing purposes. The work on this entecprise, a very difficult one, requiring the expenditure of millions of dollars, has been in progress for moro than a year, and af there is abundant capital behind it there can be no doubt of its success. It is expected to make Buffalo at no very distant time one of the great manufacturing centers of the country,” and it is anticipated that it may effect a revolution in industrial methods elsewhere. The cost of power from this source will be much belowany- thing that can now be had, for it almost eliminates the expense of fuel from the estimates of munufactures and can- not fail to give its patrons an immense advantage over all others who are en- gaged in similar work, To what extent it will alfect the manufacturing world the most practical would find iv impossi- ble to determine, but its promoters pro- diet wonderful results. It issaid that New York and Chicago are making ar- rangements Lo use this power, and if it 15 found practicable for them to do so there is no reason why Philadelphia, Cleveland and otl manufacturing citics muy not do so. It thus appears thut a problem which perplexed some of tho best engineering minds for years has been solved, uand the results will be awaited with universal interest.
