The World-Herald has employed a special colicitor for two weeks to im- portune and harass the druggists and saloonkeepers, while THr BEE has rested upon its rights and the decision of the police commission. The fake guaranty has proved a lamentable failure. Tug Department of Justice has been subjected to a good deal of criticism on the ground that it has not shown suffi- cient zeal in enforcing the anti-trust law. Relerrving to this matier in his an- nual report the attorney goneral says that the combinations have been suc- cessful in thwarting the action of the government by resson of the great caro and skill excreised in their formation und manipulation. This is conspicuously the case with the sugar trust, which after having been driven out of N porated under the elastic laws of New Jersey nnd has since been able to prac- tically defy all efforts to suppress it The attorney general says that inall cases investigated the combinations have been successful in avoiding the provisions of the statute, but he ex- presses Lthe hope that in the cases com- menced the validity of the become very common to the business of the country under the name of trusts may be demonstrated. If so, says the attorney general, the investigations wade and the evidence acoumulated in ~ eases where no proceedings have been It is evi- dent that the Department of Justice has endeavored to do all that was possible to onforce the anti-trust law, but it has met with dificulties which were simply commenced will be valuuble, insurmountable.

An annlysis of the official returns of the vote of Nebraska is interesting ns well as instructive. The vote for presi- | dontial electors nggregates 198 against 108,406 votes cast for presiden- | tial olectors in 1888. [our years ago the Harrison electora received 108,425 | votes. This year they only received 803,505 votes, which goes to show a defee- tion of 21,680 republicans. Cleveland’s vote four years ago was 80,552 This year he only reccived | votes. Tnasmuch as the Weaver elec- tors received an aggregate of 82587 votes it is manifest that fully 60.000 democrats voted for the Weaver olec: tors this year, | The average independent vote for state officers is 62,228 hence the populist party of Nebraska at this time is made | up of about 40,000 democrats and 2: republicans. It goes without daying that if all democrats had cast their votos solidly for Weaver, the republican electors would have been beaten by a 1oajority of 20,432 votes. The vote on governor aggregates 197, 3 votos this yon inst 210,746 two years ago, which shows a falling oft | in the voto on governor of 1 | as compared with the vote of 1800, | Under ordinary conditions this would indicate a marked decrease in popula- tion, but in reality the shrinkage in the vote is largely due to the Austrahan | ballot law and popular indifference. Nebraska was no exception in this re- spect. Nearly all the stutes east and west failed to poll their full vote this yeur. The marked difference between the vote cast for Judge Crounse and the vote cast for the other state officers affords no index as to their respective popularity. Judgo Crounse had to bear the brunt of the battle. His opponent, General Van Wyck, ran over 6,000 ahead of Shrader, the populist canaidate for licutenant governor ahead of most of the other candidates on his ticket. The fact that sajors ran 3,100 votes ahead of Crounse has been | pointed out asu great triumph. So it | was for a man with Colonel Majors record. Had Majors heen pitted « Van Wyck he would have been knocked out and probably would have wrecked the whole ticket. through by desperate exertions on the part of his corporate backers and a con- | ¢ sivacy all along the line to trade off | Croun This treachery to the head of the ticket may be read in every pro- cinet roturn where Majors had any strikers and co-worker: The fact is the strength, and mado it possible to rally thonsands of rvepublican farmers once more to the support of the party which they had learned to distrust since its machinery had fallen into the hands of corporate mereenaries. [n some respects the official figures any means afford a guaranty that the party will retain control of the state for | more than two years unless it redeems its pledges and gives the pcople clean and economic government. A RETALIATORY MEASURE. It is not probable that the congress will do anything to mako ef- fective the suggestion of the president which 18 given to the | steamship lines of Canada by a traffic that properly belongs to us,” but Sgn- ator Frye has introduced a measure which will test the sense of the senate on this important subject, This bill amends the laws regulating the transportation of goods by declaring thatnomerchandise shall be transported from one part of tho United States to another part of the United States in a vessel belonging wholly or in part to a subject of any foreign power, and such transportation by way of any foreign port shall be deemed a violation of law. “The sailing of any foreignu vessel from one United States port to another is not prohibited, provided no merchandise other than that imported in such v 1 from a foreign port shall be car- ied from one port to another of the United States. The bill also provides, and this is the most impor- tant feature of it, that the president | muy, by proclamation, suspend the right of carrying merchandise in bond through the United States provided forin the bill, in case the Dominion of Canada should at any time deprive the citizens of the United States of the uso of the canals in the Dowminion on equality with Cunada, as provided tho treaty of Washington. It will be remembered that in his an- nunl messuge President Harrison spoke very earnestly and pointedly on this subject. He suid that while neither the railronds in States has any disposition to interfere with the political relations of Canada, it is time, however, for us to consider whether, if the existing state of things lines of land transportation should not be put upon a different basis, and our entire independence of Canadian wuter roules secured by creating a water | route for ourselves. The importance at- tached to this subject by the president is apprecinted by a very lurge portion of the Amorican paople, and there are vory few of them who will question thatsome- | thing ought to be Lo compe | Canadian government to respect . | dono . | rights and deal more fairly with A | can citizens. The president was doubtless right in saying that the Canadian Paoific and other railway lines which parallel our | northern boundury are. sustained Ly commerce having either its origin or terminous, or both, in the United States, and they enjoy the great advautages of this uwrafic without any of the restraints imposed upon own roads by the interstate commerce act, tically free from resvonsibility and do about as they please, so that they ave in o position to vlace American roads at a decided disadvantage in competing for American business, When it is under- stood that the estimated value of goods transported between different points in the United States across Canadian tervi- tory is $100,000,000 a year, an ides can be formed of of the privileges enjoyed by the Can- 24,740 | and nearly 8,000 | she pulied | that Crounse gave the ticket its main | aro very encouraging, but they do not | present | that “we should withéraw the support | ind | torms of | people nor the government of the United | | is to continue, our interchanges upon | our l The alien corporations are prac- | the substantial .value | adian railronds and of what our own railroads lose. It is doubtless true that the producersof the northwest and the consumers of New Fngland are to some extont benefited by the competition of | the Canadian railroads.

THE AIMERICAN FLAG ON THE SEAS. | No part of the annual message of tho | presidont is mors ints which relatos to the decline of our mer chant marine, Refercing to th jeet the president says that since the | merchant m was driven from the sen by the rebel cruisers ‘during the of the rebellion the United States been paying an enormous an- nual tribute to foceign countries in the shaps of freight and passage - money Our grain and meats, said the president, have been taken at our own docks and our large | imports there laid down by foreign ship- masters. An incronsing torrent of American travel to Kurope has con- tributed a vast sum annually to the dividends of foreign shipowners. The balance of trade has been very largely reduced and in many years altogether oxtinguished by this constant drain. In the yoar 1892 oaly 12,3 per cent of our imports were brought in Ameri can vessels. These great foreign | steamships maintained by our traffic, said the president, are many of them under contracts with their respective | governments by which in time of war | they will become a part of thoir armed naval establishments. Profiting by our commerco in poace they will become | the most formidable destroyers of our commerce in time of war. There will be genoral concurrence in | tho view of the president that this con- dition of things is both intolerable and disgraceful. A change of policy in this matter is absolutely necessary in the in- terest of the commercial as weil as the | political welfare of the country. We cannot go on paying out annually hun- dreds of thousands of dollars to England and France and Germany in the form of freights and passenger fares without weakening ourselves to the advan- tage of those countri It is esti- mated that not less than $200,000,- 000 aro paid out every year by | Americans to foreign shipowners, and this enormous sum goes directly to the building up of the interests abroad con- nected with shipping. Very little of this vast expenditure remains in the United States, and it is rcasonable to say that av least nine-tenths of it is uscd for the benefit of foreign shipbuilders, employes and mercha Sueh an annual drain upon our people is a very srious matter, and the guestion ol it can be remedied is w festly one of the very highost importanc The president urges a continuance of | the logislation inaugurated by the last congross us a means of stimulating the buiiding of American steamship lines, but thero is small probability that the present or the coming congress will pay any attention to th’'s recommendation. he American people, however, are becoming every s more deeply inter- ested in this subject, and it is only a question of time when they will demand, without distinction of party, legislation that will restore the American flag to the ocean. psting than that § sub- rina war has THAT REFORM CLUB BA The speech of President-elect ( l(!\l‘- land at the Reform club banquet in Now York was decidedly flat and meaning- less. It was naturally oxpected that the president-elect would say something | on this occasion that would afford at | least some vugue hint of the policy that | will bo adopted by the coming adminis- tration in respect to the tariff and other matters of profound interest to the people. It would be diffi- cult for the most ingenious of Mr. Cleveland’s admirets to point out a single sentence in hisspeach that has any practical significance what- ever. 1t was evidently a studied effort to avoid saying anything, and in this respect it was a succoss that does great credit to Mr. Cleveland’s ingenuity, ior very few men could have put so many words together without heing be- trayed into the expression of some ideas of public interest. He referred to the | democratic success in the recent contest as *‘the grandest and most completa vie- tory ever achioved in the struggle for right and justico,” which was a some- | what astounding stutement in view of some of the struggles for right and justico recorded 1n the history of the American people, to m/nm.hhw about | the people of other lands. After such | an utterance as this at the boginning of | his address his hearers must have been prepared for almost anything. At all | events they got anything and everything | but u diseussion of the subjects in which | the Reform club is supposed to be es- pecially interested. After Mr, Cleveland had dilated at | considerable length upon the patriotism | and the devotion to righteous principles of government that had asserted them- selves in his election, a cold chill must have run down his back when ex-Gov- ernor Campbell of Ohio said that the boys who wanted office had made Grover Cleveland president. A declara- | tion so practical and sensible may have been out of place in a meeting dominated by mugwumps, but to the real democrats present it | must have been very refreshing. And | then Senator Carlisle gave a practical turn to the proceedings by his eulogistic | reference to Samuel J, Tilden, a demo- crat whose political methods never ex- posed him to thg suspicion of being | & mugwump. Mr, , 8s usval, said something that was tangible in re- speot to the purposes of his party. He | present | possible | | that the term of the succeeding one will DAY DECEMBER 12, 1892. gave all the oredf¥'for the tar ¥ policy of the democracy to Mr., Tilden, and said that it was nB8#% the purposs of the party to | gdrry out the prine ciples enunciated, by that statesman. This seems to laiva Mr. Cleveland out in the cold. Tt @oprives him of all ro sponsibility as an originator and practi- cally removes him asa factor in the tariif question. ¥1¢ is not the kind of a man to submit’ 13 that, and there is every reason to believe that he intends to assert an absolute control over the action of his party, upon this subjoct. His silence concorhing it in his speech at this meeting will be regarded ns sig nifying that he has plans of his own which he does not choose to make known at present, and 1t is declared by those most intimate with him that he does no’ stand upon the platform of his narty. A pleasant incident of tho Reform club banquet was the emphatic snub put upon Speaker Crisp, He had boen in- | vited, and supposed that he was ex- pected to spenk. He had prepared | speech and given it out to the Associated Press " upon that understanding, but when he found that he was not to lowed to deliver it he left the hall high dudgeon. There is alarge amount of democratic harmonv brewing, and Speaker Crisp and his frionds may be depended upon to have a hand in it. | I1 appears that the recent decision of | Judge Gresham, practically denying tho right of the Interstate Commer commission to the aid of the federal courts in enforcing the law, has been the subject of lively discus- sion at Washington. It is said that somo of the members of who never had mu faith in the law declare that the decision of Judge Gresham and that iwade by the supreme court last soring practicully destroy the law, buv the fricnds of the act are of the opinion that these decisions can be met by new legislation. Judge Veasey of the commission is reported as saying that the late decision only de- stroys ono pieco of machinery in the mechanism which congress has provided for carrying out the law. It does not diminish, in the opinion of this commis sioner, the duty of the commission to investigale violations of luw, does not prevent the getting of testimony in a variety of wuys, and does not interfero with prosecutious by district attorneys under certain con- dition This is doubtless the case, but the faet that the powers of the commis- sion have been seriously erippled by the decisions is obvious, and that further logislature is necéssary is equally plain. Tt is understood that all the facts in the matter will be laid Lefore congress in the aunnual reppet of the In- terstate Commerce commission, which will also undoubtedly make recommendations for additional legislation to meéet the judicial objec- tions that have been raised to the law. Manifestly the interstate commerce Jaw as it stands is practically worthless after the decisions of thessupreme court and the cirenit court at Chicago, and it is of the greatest possi importance that congress shall not delay in making such provisions as may be nocessary to strengthen the law.
