When Ken- tucky’s ‘‘best citizens” get out their guns something is sure to happen. Muc! is made of the fact that only one passenger in every 2,000,000 was “killed on the railroads of this country last year. The thing todo is to keep off the cars just about the time that the 2,000,000 mark is being reached in order to avoid being that one killed passenger.

Recruiting offices for this service will be found at the principal hotels at Lincoln. Good pay guaranteed, THE latast feature of the cruel sport of winter horse racing at Guitenburg, N. J., is the use of a stimulant that is in- jected into tho veins of the jaded ani- mals. The racing of horses in mud and snow and on frozen tracks was bad enough, and it is now time to put a stop to the whole business. AT Sourit OMAIA terday forty- eight hogs sold for $1, 4. The ani- mals averaged in weizht 364 pounds, and fetched 7 cents a pound, the highest price ever paid for hogs in this market. The top price in Chicago was $7.10, and in Kansus City $6.90, thus illustrating the value of South Omaha as a market. ve! THE way in which prohibition works in Maine is shown by the fact that 808 liquor dealers are paying the United States tax of $25 as retailers, or one to every 836 inhabitants. Besides these thereare the city and town agencies, the wholesalers and tho illicit dealers, the latter being very numerous. The pro- hibition peoblem certainly has not been solved by the Maine experiment. MosT of the large cities of the coun- try have a , workhouse, und we know of no city where such an institution has not proved highly useful both from penal and reformatory points of view. Omaha ought to have a workhouse, and thore can bo no doubt that such an institution in this city would be found, as the mayor hus suggested, valuable in ridding the city of the classes that fill workhouses, I 18 observed that the a uthorities of the eastern cities in providing precau- tions ugainst the possible outbreak of contagious and infeotious diseases dur ing the coming summer, attach a great deal of importance toa thorough inspec- tion of wilk used by the people.

ADDING TO THE EX( i A bill has been introduced in the Unitea States senate by Senator Chand- ler which provides for adding four more classes to those now excluded by the im- migration laws. These are: Persons over 12 years old who cannot read aud write their own language, the aged holding a parental relation being ox- cepted; persons who have not suflicient money on arrival to support themselves fortwo months,the amount to be required not to exceed 3100 for cach singie nerson or head of a family, or %25 for each member of a family accompan blind, erippled, or otherwise physic imperfoct persons incapai manual labor, unless such of abundunt support and not likely become a public charge; members of societies that favor or justify the un- lawful or eriminal destruction of prop- 'ty or life The mensure proposes a change regarding naturalization, quiring sixty days’ notice of applica- tion, and contains, ameny other things, provisions for more vessel room and better accommodations for immigrants. There will probably be no very stren- uous objections urged against this bill, though it may be said that the pecuni- ary condition required might operate to Keep out a grent many desirable immi- grants. 1f this requirement had been n part of the past policy of the country the population would be icss than it is by millions of industrious and useful citizens, who came here with nothing move than their strong arms, brave hearts, and the determination to better their worldly condition. As to persons belonging to societies which ““favor or justify the unlawful and criminal de- struction of property or life,” it would seem well to designate what societies are intended. Would a member of a nihilist society fall under this inhibi- tion? If so it would place this class of political revolutionists in a position which they have not hitherto occupied in the opinion of the American people, are assured and this gosernment has always refused | to include nihilists in its extradition agreements. Could we consistently now refuse them an asylum in this country? The provisions of Senator Chandler’s bill, which require gteamship com panies to allow more room for imm ants and to accord them better facil- ities, are evidently designed to raise the cost of steerage passage. The e ditions in resvect 1o space and ventila- tion ure not nearly 80 had as they were years ago, when the average time of steamers was from two to three weeks. There is still room for improvement, however, and if legislation by congress can bring this about without materially increasing the cost of passage it will be an important reform. The steawship companies will, doubtless, hotly oppose the proposal to change their method of crowding on emigrants as long as there is any space left to receive them, since the change would reduce their carrying capacity for these passengers nearly one-hall.

This judicial action has received at- tention in France, and from the ex pressions of a leading Paris journal it would seem to be regarded there as in the nature of a biuff. The subject of American rvights in Panama has been receiving the atten- tion of the authorities in Washington, and the prevailing opinion appears to be thut this government has jurisdiction treaty ngements over the Panama railrond and that it is its duty 1o nssert it and to protest against the action of the French receiver. The posi- tion is that the company is operating under an American charter, grantad by | the state of New Yorlk, and is therefore amenabie to our laws. This is the mean- ing of the decision of the supreme court of New York, and it is held by the for- | cign affairs committees of the two houses exclude in It sume Ame evident as | of congress to be sound. An international contioversy is very likely to arise from this matter between France and the United States, but what- ever may come of it this government cannot afford to yield any of its rights in Panama or refuse to protect the in- terests of its citizens there. Itis olvi- ous that a great mistake was made in allowing the railroad to pass into I'rench control, but, having allowed this, it 1 now clearly necessary to take steps to put & check upon further foreign efforts to dominate the isthmus, whether pro- ceeding from Frauce alone or from that country in combination with other powers. The subjeet will probably r ive the attention of the present con- 258, though whatever may be decided upon will doubtless await execution at the hands of the next administration, Meanwhile an expression from the French government in the matter will AFTER THE ANTHRACITE Among the governors of eastern states who have referred to the coal | combine in their messages this year none | speak forso large or so powerful a constit- uency as Governor Flower of New Yorls. For this veason, if for no other, the gov- s utterances upon this subject are interesting at this time. Although he ROBBERS, pathy with schemes of public robbery and if his words to the New York legis- lature are heeded they will produce good results in the direction of legis- lative restraint upon the gigantic an- thracite monopoly. Governor Fiower says of the Reading “The combination diffe from ‘milar organizations in certain respects, which make competitition absolutely impossible. So far as is known practi- cally all the anthracite coal in the world is contained in three counties in Pennsylvania, and 85 per cent of the en- tire traflic is controlled by the coal com- bination. It ean raise the price of anthracite coal as high as it can find purchasers,” As to the remedy that is in the havds of the people he says: “These conditions present a state of affairs that challenges serious con- sideration. Have the people of this state any means of legislative relief agamst such o monopoly of a natural and necessary product? The question is worthy of your earnest attention. TIf the companies ongaged in this combi- nation enjoy public privileges granted by the state of New York the state should exercise its undoubted right to impose conditions upon the en- joyment of those privileges, and such conditions should at least gua d the people from unwarrantable exactions in | return for privileges which the people, through their representatives have con- If the members of the legislature of the state of New York have as much respec. for the views of the governor as they have hitherto shown they will not pnss these urgent words by unieeded.

The British opposition to thes ex tension of the American right is said to be pronounced and British influences arc ut work against it.

This is not merely a matter of courtesy, but a duty imposed upon the legislature by the constitution, which also requires the governor at the beginning of each session and at the close of his term of oflice to give to the Jegislature information of the condition of the state, and shall recommend such measures as he shall deem expedient, together with ar ount of his receipts and disbursements and estimates amount of money requiced to be by taxation.

THe proclamation of the president, granting awnesty Mormons who prior to November 1, | 1890, had violated the laws of the United States against polygamy, but who have since that date abstained from the unlawful practice, will have the ap proval of the liberal sentiment of the country. Although it was stated in the last report of the Utah commission that there were still polygamous mar- riages, it is not to be doubted that as an institution of the Mormon polygamy is dead, but at any rate it was the proper and just thing to re- | lieve those who have showu obedience to the law from the harrassing danger prosecution, The effect of this w il | undoubtedly be good in inducing others who may still be violating the law to course, SENATOR SHERMAN appears to have adoubt as to the constitutional power of congress to make alaw regulating | contracts, such as the proposed anti- option law, but he is in accord with the object of that measure so far as it aims to secure to the farmers the fair and just market price for their products, It 18 fairly to be inferred from this that when the bill comes to a vote Senator Sherman will be found among its sup- porters. There may be eomething in the doubt regarding the constitutional power of congress to enact such legisla- tion, but would it not be well to test the effect of the proposed law and let the courts decide the question of constitu- tionality if the speculators should go to the courts, as they would undoubtedly do? A aimed at the Pinkerton mer cenaries has been introduced in the United States senate. It makes unlaw- ful the bearing of arms by a body of ten or wore men as &, military force, unless culled forth by the properly authorized civil or mlitary officers, and makes it the duty of the president to disband and disperse any such organization. The measuro does 1ot quite reach the ase so far as the Pinkertons are con- cerned, because it leaves open an easy wuy of evasion.
