THE report that a large jobbing con- cern from New York City contemplates locating in Omaha is by no means im- probable. It is as easy toseea good opening from that distance as from a nearer point. THE Argentine Republic has some an- archy to look after now in one of her provinees. It was high time for another outbreak'in South America. There ha been a lull in that part of the world for soveral weols, FINANCIAL difficulties in Europe con- tinue and Italy is now threatened with a monetary crisis. The United States is about the only country on earth at pres- ent that is free from serious difficulties and complications of any kind. THE health office record shows but very few cases of contagious disease in the city and the deaths from such dis- eages this winter have been few.

Why tho grade crossing is allowed to exist in any center of popula- tion is a myster THE Wyoming legislature has mem- orialized congress to admit the terri- tories of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico into the union. The Wyoming legisla- ture is only wasting its breath. There i8 no prospect of admitting any more new states, at least during the brief life ©f the present congress. . NEBRASKA is glad to note the im- “proved prospects of extensive building operations within her borders this year, but hor jealousy is not aroused by tho fact that similar progress is promised all over the west. It looks as if the west- ern country during 1893 would surpass any previous year's record. THE National Board of Trade has re ommended tho passage of the Torrey bankruptey bill now pending in cong In view of the fact that this desirable measure has been earnestly advocated | by almost every business organization in the United States and by business men generally throughout the country, it seems unreasonable to delay action upon it longer. s ago when Paddock was track for a seccond term TWELVE on the rac Orlando Te for Van Wyck, and Van Wyck, who was then a member of the state senate, voted for Orlando Tefft from first to last even on the ballot by which he was trans- ferred to the United States senate.

The outlook for the passage of a uni- form bankruptey law by the present con- gress has appavently improved within the last few days The advocates of the Torrey bill scored a decided success in getting the endorsement of the mem- bers of the sutive committee of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial union, and they are being aided also by the influence of the National Board of Trade, in session in Washington. Colonel H. C. Demming of the executive committee of the Alliance and Industrial union said he was satisfied the provisions of the bill will prove satisfactory to the members of the farmers alliar and that they will be individually benefited by the enactment and administration of such a law. He suggested that if the sub- alliances would consider and pass upon the subject, and forward to their con- gressmen the conclusions reached by them, it would greatly enhance the probability of favorable action upon the hill. It has not been gen- erally supposed -that the farmers of the country were ospecially in- terested in this proposed legislation, but it appears that they ave, since oneof | the provisions of the bill is that suits in bankruptey cannot be brought against those engaged chiefly in farming or the tillage of the soil, or wage earners. There appears to ba no doubt that a large majority of the house is favorable to a bankrupt law, and the question is simply whether a vote can be obtained. That depends largely upon whether the committee on rules will set & day for the consideration of the bill, and this it cannot well refuse in view of the fact that it has been asked to do so by a majority of the democrats of the house. Of course, this would not insure its pas- sage, but it is believed that if brought forward. for consideration its chances will be good. In the senate not much interest has been manifested in the measure, but it is the opinion that if it | goes through the house it will be very promptly reported to the senate and that there would be no great difficulty in y ng it in the latter body. The course of congress regarding this legisla- tion implies & want of confidence in the judgment of the business interests of the country, for never have those in- torests been more nearly unanimous upon any subject than they ave in favor of the enactment of a uniform bank- ruptey law. Commercial bodies and business men in every scction of the country have asked for such legislation, and while there has baen some scatter- ing opposition to it the expression in its favor has been overwhelming. It would certainly seem that a demand having such support from the class of people most direetly eoncorned in the proposed law, and who ave quite as capable of in- telligent judgment regarding its neces- sity as the politicians in congress, ought to receive more consideration than has been accorded it, A\RBITRATION. slatures now in an ong them that of Nebraska, bills have been introduced providing for astate board of arbitration to consid controversies arising botween employ and employed. There has been during the past few years a growing . popular | sentiment favorable to legislation ef this kind, in order to supply a way for an amicable settlemont of labn disputes where both parties de- it, and undoubtedly it will in time be generally adopted. Sev- oral states now have boards of arbitration and they proved useful aids in settling labor controversies, This | has been especially the case in Massa- chusetts, whose board has made a record of excellent service and has grown steadily in popular favor. In New York the experience has been less satisfac- tory, yet the board has been of con- siderable value, fully vindicating the session, sire The prineiple has long been nized in European countries. England has had an arbitration law on her statute books for nearly three-quarte of a century. It is ravely appealed to be- cause each trade has a permanent boa d recog- ot arbitration andcometintion, | tration and ¢ meiliation wi | ticable | and on neither | and employ | possible on public i volun- tarily organized, and these voluntary boards have been depended upon for years by the various trades with excel- lent ults.

It cannot be r oneiled to the prineiples upon which this government is founded. Compulsory arbi- tration would huve to work both ways, side would it be toler- ated or capable of cnforcement. It is the right of every man in this country to work or not to work, according as the compensation offered s or is not sati factory to him, and no law can compel him to surrender this right. To attempt to do so would be to put a restraint upon the exercise of one of his most valuable prerogatives as a frec man. On the other hand the employer has a right of which he cannot justly be deprived to employ whom he pleases, at such wages as he is willing to pay and those em- ployed to accept. These propositions are so obviously sound, in their applic tion to the great body of workingmen ors, that no argument can be needed to enfor them. No law could be enforced which should under- take to compel aman tocarry on his business involuntarily, or another to work involuntarily, nor would such a law stand. Its interference with the rights of both parties would speedily wipe out such legi The proposition to establish a b arbitration in Nebraska should rece careful éonsideration. It stands to reason that a hoard composed of state officers would merely be a cogwheel in the political machine. Our with the state railroad commiss not justify the belief that men who are subservient to railroad corporations being settied, more than courts in disputes or of ov lation. vd of | conld be depended on to stand up for the rightful claims of labor. Avbitra- tion between railway companies and their employes would be a jug-handled affair. And this would be the tendency of arbitration by any permanent board. The corporations and capitalists would always have their ear unless the appeal for avbitration came just before a state election. THE retivement of Mr. Lakewood tion to does not Cleveland to is construed as an intima- the politicians that he desire any. further sug- gestions or recommendations con- cerning the makeup of his cabinet. He will probably not decline to consider whatever may be sent to him bearing upon this interesting matter through the mails, but the inference is that he has had quite enough of personal inter- views and believes he can get on well with the information al- ready in his possession as to the merits and qualifications of cabinet aspirants. It has been reported that just before going into retirement the president-elect begun to exhibit a good deal of impatience at the way in which he was being pursued and hounded by the politicians, and that some of them had expressed indignation at what they regarded as shabby treatment. Proba- bly this was so, for Mr. Cleveland notable for his blunt way of disposing of people he doesn't care to sece, but the offended politicians will go to him again at the very first opportunit As to the cabinet the probability is that most of its members have been selected, though only one is known to have been chosen— Senator Carlisle of Kentucky for secre- tary of the treasu THE starving workingmen of Belgium deserve the sympathy of the world, and moreover they deserve and must have from some source immediate aid. Two hundred and fifty of them walked from Ghent to Brussels last Tuesday, a dis- tance of thirty-one miles, to call the at- tention of the government to their wretched condition. When it is consid- ered that this journey was made in cold weather and deep snow, the urgency u( their case becomes apparent. They were joined by hundreds of idle working- men of Brussels, and the crowd paraded the streets singing revolution- ary songs.

A MEETING of the American Bimetal- lic league is to be held in Washington in Februavy.
