The people of Nebraska have a right to expect some things at the hands of the legislature that have been pledged to them by the candidates of ail parties. They have a right to expect a material reduction of the burdens of taxation. They expect that supernumoraries and barnacles will be given a wide berth trom the outset ; that all needless com- mittoa clerkships will ba abolished and that no clerks will be employed for engrossing and enrolling bilis until they are actually wanted for the work in hand. They expect that all estimates for state institations will be carefully scrutinized and while they do not desire any 1nstitution to be crippled or em- barrassed, tiiey demand that all extrava- gance and reckless waste shall cease. They expect the legisiaturo to set an example of economy by quitting the pornicious practice of faquent adjourn- ments and junkeling tours. 'he people have a right to expect that the legislature will strike at the tap root of bribery and corruption of public oficials by prohibiting railvoad prsses or by making it compulsory for railronds to issuo free transportation to state officials while traveling on busi- ness with their respective connected | departinents. Tho people domund and expect somo relief at the hands of the legislaturs in the way of railway regulation coupled with n material reduction of locul freight os, Tho people have a right fo expect from the legisiature a revision of the revenuo laws either diveetly or through a commission that will formulate re- vision and submit their work for rati- fication after a recess of \hirty to sixty duys. The people have a right to expect that the legislature will take the nec- essary steps for calling a conveation to revise the constitution. There are many other things that the people have a right to expect at the hands of the legisiature which Tk B will treat of from time to time. CANADIAN COMPLAINTS The strictures of the nadian ister of finance upon the message of President Havrison may fairly be t as vepresenting the views of the Cana dian government in respect to the vitrious subjects of controversy between this country and its northern neighbor. When treaties ave in proeess of con- struction it isto be expected that cer- tain diplomatic extravaganeces will be indulged in as o means of secaring con- but in the present instance the iims set up scem to represent the true feeling of the Domiu- ion government. The position taken by Cuanadn is simply that the United States should make all the concessions and that Canada should make none, and there appears to be no appreciation whatever of the valuable privileges granted by this country in the past. the treaty of Washington was made in 1871 the Unitad States yielded to Canada the freo navigation of Lake Michigan as an equivalent for free navi- | gation of the St. Lawrenc value of tho river not much in Lake Michigan ver.

Tt is very likely a fact thut Mr. Cieve- land does not feel any very strong obli gation to the active leaders of his party for it was not they whosecured his nom- ination und did the most effective work for his election.

The doctor here from Baltimore and, though very young, quickly took rank as one of the fore- ises the court practicully denies its own jurisdiction, thus clearly defining the boundary between the judicial and legis- lativo branches of the government. ‘When the Clay county contest reaches the legislature that body may find upon investigation that the certificates have been wrongfully issued, but that fact is | to boe determined only by the house in which the contestants claim seats, Now that the supreme court has de- clined to interfere in the Clay couaty case, the Douglas county contest should | be dropped as a matter of common decency. The Douglas county con- testants have not a shudow to the title or rightful claim to soats in the legis- lature. The olection was fairly con- | ducted, and each of them was fairly | ana squarely beaten by round major: ities. Thero is not even a pretext of fraud in the canvass of the returns, and the whole fabric which the claimants set up is without foundation. Thisisn government of majorities, and when vhe people have by majority expressed their choice, their will should be re- spected. THERE is nothing 1ncredible in the statement that the cabinets of Europo are arranging for a united protest against the threatened American re- strietions upon immigration. The feel- ing over there regarding the matter was voiced by the organ of the Austrian foreign office, which recently said that | the application of the methods used in America toward the Chinese coolies to the case of Europeans was unworthy of a civilized country like the states, and thut the 1usult involved in shutting the door in the face of European emigrants was the moro gross because it was coupled with an invitation to visit the | Chicago exnibition. Must we not frankly admit the justice of this judg- ment? “THE bill prowviding for government guarantee of $100,000,000 worth of bounds to be issued by the Nicaragua canal company is encountering cons siderable opposition in congress and the indications seem to be growing less fav- orableto its passage. The objections are both on constitutional grounds and for the reason that the governmant oughtnot to lend its credit in this way to u private eénterprise, however ample the security offered. There is force in both arguments, but of the two the latter has perhaps the greater validity. It is desirable thau the government shall”have such rela- tions to the enterprise as will prevent its falling into foreign hands, but this does not require that the government shall have u pecuniary interest in it law and does an enormous business in the United States without the restraint | that is placed upoa its competitor. yet when it is suggested that the C dian Pacific should be subject to that law we have a protest from the Ca dinn governmont, A very large part of tho business of that great railroad is furnished by the United States. Its cars puss in and out of our ter X without detention, and during the last fiseal year it brought into the United 689 pounds of fi ied nway from the United States for shipment to China and Japan 346 pounds, It is ostimated that the value of American freight transported by that road is more than $100,000,000 each year. What claim has the Cana- diun Pacific to immunity from the laws of the country from which it secures such a vast volume of business? The president’s recommendation is good, and | the Canadian minister of financo is en- tirely mistaken in saying that it does not represent the viows of the A merican people, The people of this country are friendly to Capada and desire closer trade ralations with her, but they do not approve her policy of taking every possible advantage and yielding noth- ing in return except upon compulsion.

There is trustworthy testimony that the i revailing feeling with mny demo- cratic leaaers is not ono of serene sat faction with the situatioa ha indi cations that Mr. Cleveland intends to dirvect the party instead of being di- rected by the party do not plaasa a num- ber of men who have laid out plans for enlarging their political influsnce and winning tho laurels of sbites- munship. Lver since his election Mr. Cloveland has shown a dis- position to lay out his own course, gardless of the views or wishes of the purty leaders, As much as possible, without manifesting a purpose to utterly ignore them, he has kept sloof ‘Whether or not he feels that heis greater than his party, his course since the election plainly implies that he does not feel himself to be in need of any ad- vice. Doubtless he has his confidential counselors, but they are not among the men who are most prominent and active on the political stage. These are not acquiring any new glory or greatuess from the confidence of the president- elect.
