Fairchild of New York for secretary of the treasury there are at least two cabinet portfolios dis- posed of. William C. Whitnoy is pretty sure to be secrotary of state or secretary of tne navy. The country would undoubtedly prefer Lo see him in the latter pluce, in which he did good work when he occupied it before, THE NICARAGUA CANAL The national platforms of the repub- lican and demooratic parties recognized the importance of the Nicaragua canal and the necessity of its being under con- trol of the United States governm Neither party was committod in favor of governmental assistance o the project. Tt was approved ns n measuro of national defense and to buiid and maintain Americ here is no coniroversy regarding the value of tho enterprise in theso respects. [n oaso of war with any country that could send a flect to attack our scaports, the canal would be of the greatest possible advantage to the government in en- abling®it to expeditionsly movoe naval vessols to exposed points. This requires that the governmont shall have trol of the eanal, at least to tho oxtent of securing its protection agninst foreign n, bo a very building n n commerce, T contr It has been convincingly sho that the canal would important instramentality in up American commorce, [t would duce by thousands of miles the water transportation botween the west and the east, and it the ports vould shorten b 50 greatly distanc wnd the of South America. Wween our castern sea- of the western coy It is believed that i would have most stimulating effect he materinl progress and progper= ity of the Pacitic coast states and haps upon the entire west. It isnot to doubted that its bearing upon the problem of transportation rates between th western sections of the United States would be important. All these considerations favorable to the enterprise ave very genorally con- led and it 1s also belioved that the traffic of the eanal will be suflicient to generously investors. 'Fhe question i tho snment identify itself in a financial way with the project? Tt has been proposed and the proposal recoived the unanmimous endorsement of the committ on for= eign relations of the United States seu- ate, that the government shall guar- antee bonds of the canal company to the amount of $100,000,000. The con- vention at New Orleins was called to promote this plan, which it is plausibly imed would enuble the compiny to )f the bonds more readily and prices than it otherwiso could, 1 o connection of the ment with the enterpriss would give it a national ehavacter and move certainly insure national protection for it. A hill to earry cout this proposal was intro- duced in the United Statessenate, but was not aeted upon and the promoter: of t canal now say that congres ought tonct promptly one way or the other so that tho compvany may know what toexp:ctand proceed nccordingly. This appears to be reasonable, thonch itis to be borne in mind that in asking government aid the canal company is departing from its original professed intention, which was to complete and maintain the canal as a private enter- prise, having simply such governmental recognition as congress gave itat its inception. It is ewhat quostionable whefher the plan of securing 0 governmant guar antec for the bonds of the canal com- pany will succeed. Thore is a great deal of populir opposition to tho gov- ernment entering into obligations of this character, however apparently well vrotected it may bo against loss. There is 10 be a mo ‘e strenuous cfiort than has yet been made to induce congress to aid the canal project, but tho company will probably find it necessary to go on with the enterprise as it originally in- tended to, without asking of the gov- ernmentany other consideration than that of Leing recognized. tries m P Yo sstern nnd qov while rovern= AN [NEFFECTIVE LAW, The ineffectiveness of the interstate commeres law a3 a means of preventing discrimination by railronds illustrated in-the Missouri before the federal ¢ city.

It has been decided by tho supremo court that witnesses in sueh cases cannot be compelled 1o give testi- mony that will tend to incriminate themselves, and hence they coolly de- cline to give any at all. When asked a question, they simply roply that they know mothing ubout tho matter. Of course conviction is out of the yuestion under such conditions. Nothing but records of the transaction ean ba of any use, and good cure is taken to preven- that kind of evidence from coming to light. In this case the way bills had been burned. Agent Kretechmer of the Interstate Commerce commission, acknowledging the futility of bis efforts to conviet the railroad company, exvlains that the failure is duo toa defect the law which congress eany eisily romedy. There is a bill now pending before the senate committee which is designed to correct the evil. In giving its decis in the celebrated Counselman case, in which it wus held that witnesses need not give testimony that would incrimi- nate themselves, the court that witnesses could be protected by law. The bill referred to is the result of this suggestion and may make the in- terstate commerce law efTective if rail- vond influences do not compiss its do- feat ia congress. Asthe law now stands it is of little practical use, in n suggested RAILROAL ANSOCIATIONS, The decision rendered by.the United tates circuit court of Kansas, declar- ing it to be the right of the railroads to form organizations and associations for the regulation of business and the pre- vention of demoralization in rates, is reported to have been received with great satisfaction by western rallroad manigers. The ecase which called out the decision was brought by the attor ney general of Iuansus ugainst the Transmssouri association, which was alleged to be a trust and in violation of the Sherman uuti-trust law. The asso ciation was dissolved before the suit was decided, but the decision i« nono the less interesting, sinve it bears upon all similar organizations, The court tho the railroads in the as iighed chises ns ground that as seintion had not ¢ rights or frane tho considered a slares it cor if the rouds sor franchises, in vs. took wny of th individunl tion cc trust, and it further rectly reported, | corporations by de oven aid relinquish their vig th ar 0 common I'his would seem to be the law declaves it to prevent competition the transportas tion of ¢ 0: proporty fo stato or territory into another,” obviously applies to common ¢ The position of the court that sust tions as tho Transmissburi was nenable to the law is undoubtadly sound, but how about such combinations of common carriers as that mvlo by the Rpading, which was undeniably in tended to prevent competition in the interstate transportation of persons and property. wonablo doubt that the Raading ehymbination is repugnant to the letter and spirit of the anti-trust law. .

According to the repori of the burenu of indust:ial statistics there are thiricen employment agencies in the city of Omaha. It is statad that the of - ficiaus of this city all unito in conds mn- ing the system, agresing that men and women in saurch of are not protecied nguinst the impositions of un- serupulous and desizning porsons who conduct theso aye remedy for this evil it is proposed by the c missioner that a lnw by passed provid- ing for the establishment and mainte- naneo of free employment agencies in this state, o measure that has been tried with s in some other stutes. A law similar to that of Ohio is pro- posed by the commissiouer. It is not casy to learn the extent of the abuses of the employment bureau system as it now exists in Omaha and clsewhe in this smte, but in some citics it has long been recognized us a sort of necessary evil, to be tolerated ‘opt in specific cases whore the agent taxes the forbearance of his dupes falls into the hands of the law as a ndler. Doubtless there are many honest employment agents. but there are so many who are vascals that arrests upon complaint of poor sezkers for work who have been flecced by them are by no means uncommon. But those who are brought to justice are comparatively fow, for only a very small proportion of tho vietims will make complaint, pre- ferring to lose a small sum of money rather than sacrilico their pride by allowing it to be known that they have sought work by such means. It is easy to believe, though perhaps 1t caunot ensily be proven, thut thousands of inen and women are swindled every day by employment agencies without making known their loss to their’ nearest friends. There is now an _employment agency in this city under tho management of the Associated Charities which is doing a uscful work. It is onable to sup- pose that similar agencies under state suporvision would be of great benefit to those ing employmont, while tho cost of muintaining would be repaid many times in the im- proved condition of the poorer class, T 15 expected that there renew of the effort, session of congrgss. state smploym suce re over will bo a at the coming to limit the com- n of the Cinadian Pacific railway the American transcontinental Tho disposition to restrict the ilozes now enjoyed by the alien tions in Amorican business is not confined to any party in congress, The proposal to do this has as strong democratic as republican supporters, once of the forem st advocates of tho policy being Sonator Gorman of « Mary- land, who provoses thut the Canadiin Pacitic shall bo compelled to conform to the provisions of the interstite com- merve act Lo the same extent as Ameri- can roads.
