This revi- sion would not only give Nebraskaa new constitution within less than two years, but it would also enable the legislature to embody a legislative apportionment, based on the census of 1890, among the proposed amendments to the constitu- tion. Such an apportionment would do away with all doubt as to its validity, although made by the present instead of the last legislature. T¥ T THE British newspapers need not work themselves into a state of ey ment over the request of the Hawaiian provisional government that the United Btates annex Hawaii, or the ex; sions in this country favorable to taking the Sandwich islands in under the stars and stripes. Those who advoeate this polic donot, it is entirely safe to say, repre- sent the gencral judgment of the country, which is not friendly to any schemes for acquiring new territory and certainly will not approve of annexing | terrvitory 2,000 miles distant in the Pacific ocean. There is some sentiment in the United States favorable to annex- ing Canada and Cuba, but it is by no meuns extensive. These same persons are principally the ones who favor the | proposal to annex the Sandwich islands. The cagerness of the British newspapers td assure this country that Great Britain would view with disfavor any movement looking to the annexation of Hawaii was quite unnecessa That was fully understood here There will be no trouble between the United States and Great Britain over this matter. THE movement of gold from the United States to Europe goes on and there does not seem to bs any prospect of its soon stopping. The drain at present is not vory heavy and the country can stand the loss for some time without incon- venience or serious danger to the finan- cial situation, but it certainly would be more reassuring if the conditions were reversed and this country was adding to its gold veserve instead of diminishing it. Of course we ave getting something in return that must be pre- sumed to be equally valuable, yet a point may be reached when noth- ing but gold will maintain financial sta- bility, The groed of European ‘govern- ments for tho yellow metal seems in- satiable.

JANUARY 31 1 893, LABOR LEGISLATION. Several important measures affecting the interests of labor are pending in the legislature. One of these relates to a bitration and provides for a voard to consist of the lieutenant governor and two regents of the State university who | are the oldest in service. The bill r quires that employes who have a gri ance shall notify their employer that they desire to submit the matters in con- tro to arbitration, and if an ad- justment be not reached botween the parties the arbitration board will be called together and will hear evidence relating to the subject of dif- ference. If the judgment of the board should be unsatisfactory to either pgrty an appeal may be taken to the courts. Some legislation on this subject is cer- tainly desirable, but whether it is prac- ticable to go so far as this measure de in the direction of compulsory arbitra- tion is a question. The best law in this country relating to arbitration, or at any rate the most successful one, is that of Massachusetts, and it con- tains no compulsory features, recognizing | the absolute freedom of both employers and employes to submit differences to wbitration or not. The same is true of the New York , law Any legislation which would impose restraints con- ditions upon either party limiting free- dom of action would be hostile to the spirit of institutions, nor should such legislation have the effect to preju- y in their public rela- ibtful whether a board of urbitration composed of state officers or any board made up thre influences will prove effective in settling | bor disputes.

Anothier important measure is the bill | ding for the protection of the | »alth of employes in factories and work- shops. TE 36 has alroady commended this proposed legislation. Doubtless the workers in the factories and workshops of Nebraska are generally as well cared for, in respect to those conditions that are essential to health, as similar work- ers anywhere, but certainly there can be no reasonable objection to a law which will compel everybody employing labor to provide whatever sanitary conditions are necessary to health. Those who now do this will of course find no fault with | such a requirement, and such as do not ought to be compelled to reform their methods. Many of the states have legis- lation of this kind and its effect has been good wherever enforced. The labor interests of the state are unanimous in favor of the proposed anti- Pinkerton legislation, and there is good reason to expect that a strong law will be adopted to prevent the invasion of Nebraska by armed bodies of men to perform police service under private irection. The proposed law provides t only an elector of this state can be deputized to perform the functions of police officers, and prescribes ado- quute penalties for its violation, It is only a question of time when all the states will have logisla- tion of this kind, for the people are be- ginning to understand and appreciate the danger inherent in the Pinkerton system. It is o matter for the states themselves to deal with, though perhaps 0o harm would ensue from such national slation as is contemplated in a bill that has been introduced in congress. The complete suppression of the system will, however, be most surel, through the operation of state se log secured aws. FRAUDS ON NONRESIDENT DEBTORS. In recent issues THE B has shown the systematic oppression that is p ticed by the shyster lawyers and justice courts of Iowa upon nonresident dobtors who are employed by railroad and ex- press companies doing business in that ate. The exemption laws by which other states protect heads of families from having their wages garnisheed by ereditors do not apply in Towa to nonres- idents, and hence it has come about that an enormous business is carvied on by lowa cullectors who make a business of buying up and suing accounts against railroad men iding in Nebraska and | other While there can be no question as to the duty of every man to pay his debts promptly, it often happens that men having families to support upon small wages ave compelled for one reason or another to delay payment. The colle s who do busines: the Towa law travel about in n ing states buying up accounts against such men by the hundred and then se- cure judgments with heavy costs in the Jjustice courts of Council Bluffs and else- where in that state. The railroad men of Nebraska are the heaviest sufferers, but the sharks have extended their op- erations into several other states. The men whose wages are thus attached are often discharged by the railroad or ex- press companies by which they ave em- pl , it being assumed that they are deadbeats, and thus great injustice and hardship are inflicted in wmany cases upon honest men who fully intend to pay their debts, Under such a system the honest must suffer with the dishonest, for it is always possible to find mer- chants who will sell accounts regardless character of the man against whom they stand. Seventy cases were recently filed in Council Bluffs at one time against railroad men in Platts- mouth. This was a result of the scheme of drumming up business practiced by the collec Doubtless some of these delinquents were deadboats, but most of states, under ghbor- | law on their side. | no question as to its validity. | ne | goods. | association, | of the people at home. | thousands of people who visited the ex- | cannot be deubted that the work of the them wore nof Some idea of the nitude of this business may be derived from the fact that 1,500 cases of this |and kind were filed in Council Bluffs Tast | year, ;. The collectors who work under this oppressive system undoubtedly have the There appears to be It is sup- ported by supreine court decisions and | its operation cannot be interfered with, But it is submitted that this collection business as now carried on in Council Bluffs is scandalous, The law ought to be amended atonce. And in the mean- time the merchants who are selling ac- counts to the men who are traveling about in search of victims ought to ex sreise the utmost cave in order that in- Jjustice may not be done to honest men. ACTURERS ASSOCLATION, At the last meeting of the Manufac- turers' association a 1 number of v members were admitted and several subjects of spocial interest were consid- ered. The seere ot upon the work which he has been doing through- out the state in the interest of home patronage was very encouraging. Tis efforts have met with every- where and a large number of merchants in the interior towns have been induced | to make a specialty of Nebraska made During the past month the sec- ary has called upon 150 merchs and nearly all of them have pledged themselves to support the work of the There never has been in | the state of Nebraska an organization 50 nseful to the business interests of the state as the Manufacturers association. It has succeeded in awakening an inter- est in home ronage that extends all over the state, and every man engaged in business in Nebraska is now feeling its influence. The association yet young, and may be said to have only began its work, but the results achieved are sufficiently important to justify the expectation that it will exert a great in- fluence upon the trade interests of the success ret 1ts is state. The association acted wisely in de- ciding to hold another exposition in Omaha this year. The of year's exposition were highly benefic not only to those who had exhibits in it, but also to ds of business men in the state have an interest ina movement designed to keep the money It demonstrated conclusively that goods made in this state ave in every respect equal to those it in from other and the psults hundv who brou tates, position were influenced to support local manufacturers and tradesmen. The results of last ) 's exposition arve felt by every firm that was vepresented in it. The Omaha members of the Manufactur- ers’ association are still talking about the benefits which they have derived from that exposition. It put a check upon outside competition by convincing the people that home made goods are as good and as cheap as those which are imported from other states. In'no other year in the history of this state has there been so great an increase in the business of its manufacturers and dealers as there has been during the year just past, and it Manufactur tion has had an important influence to that end. With many new members added and with in- creased confidence in its power toachieve results the association will enter upon the work of preparing for its position with a firm belief in the success of the undertaking. There is one direction in which the country cannot afford to have a policy of parsimony practiced, and that is in the postal service. The democratic ma- jority of the house committee on post- offices and post roads, in the appropria- tion bill reported to the house a few days ago, has cut down the estimated requirements of the Postoffice depart- ment for the next fiscal year nearly 000,000, and the estimates of the postmaster general were made as low as possible keeping in view the officiency of the service. Last year the house made a similar mistake and | subsequently had to inerease the amount appropriated, and it would seem that after an experience of this kind it would not be disposed toso soon commit a simi- lar error. The experience of this year has dem- onstrated that last year's estimate of the postmaster general was conservative and remavrkably accurate, falling short of actnal requirements less than $34,000 in a total of about 000,000, and yet the democratic ma- of the house committee on have seen fit to reduce by over a million dollars the estimate of the same postmaster gencral for the coming ar, made with equal care and practical judgment, of what will be necessavy in order to avoid any impairment of the serv It noted as betraying either ignorance or a desive to deceive by a false pretense of econ- | omy. that the amount recommended for | the compensation of postmasters o | quarter of a million dollars less than | the estimates. The compensation of | postmasters fixed by law, and mainly consent ept in the cases of the comparative insignificant number of postmasters who receive sal- aries—of commissions on the value of the stamps cancelled in their respoctive offices. Consequently no action of the postoffice committee reducing appropr ations on that account can have any ef- fect whatever upon the amount due to and recoived by postmasters as compen- sation for their services; it utterly futile, because the money is paid out of the postal revenues according to law. There isa natural and steady yearly increase in the total amount required for compensation of postmaster; the postmaster neral havin asked for next an iner of $600,000 over the appropriation for the current fiscal year, verybody recognizes the necessity for judicious economy in the expenditures of the government. The condition of the national treasury and the uncertainty regarding the reve nues of the iminediate future enforce the necessity of extra- ordinary care in making appropriations. But it is unwise economy that results in impairving the public service, or that | fiscal is | Strong, Bradley and Hunt. | to | pending rests in the hands of a | ses: puts cheok * upon the natural growth of any, branch of that service, in no ®rcotion can such an economy be applie with effects so much to the disadvantage and inconvenience of the whole pesiple as would result from its u_iication, to. the postal The etficiency of that service is now aut the highest starfda™l it has ever attained and the universal popular desire is that this standard shall be maintained. ———— sorvice. IT 18 evident Y the southern people have full confidence that the pledge of the democratic purty to repeal the taxing state bank issues will e carvied out by the next congress, The legisla- ture of Georgia passed a bill providing | for the issue of notes by state banks, thus preparing the way for such 800N as congress shall take off and now the North Carolina legislature proposes to enact a similar law. Un- doubtedly other states of the south will act in this matter in time to be ready for emitting this kind of paper when the expected opportunity comes. It is quite possible, however, that this issues as the tax, | may not arrive as soon as hoped for by those who think it would be well to restore the wildcat eurrency. No favor has been shown to the proposal to do this by the democrats of the present con- s and it is by no means certain that | land approves of the idea. He 'y much under New York influence | regarding financial questions and this will be practically unanimous, it is pre- sumed, against repealing the tax on state bank issucs. The democrats of the south will undoubtedly support repeal to a man, but those from the eastern and middle states and most of them from the west will not, so that there is no great probability of a proposal for the repeal of the tax being successful. Now that a great num of cratic newspapers have had their fling at the late ex-President Hayes in con- nection with the electoral commission, it is worth while to call attention to the fact that ex-Senator Thurman said that it would have been a grave boet the trust reposed in him if M. had refused to ept the decis! commission, which would have resulted in nothing less than anarchy.

On the question of labor and the pro- hibition of Pinkerton police, the party stands pledged in the following plank We deplore the occurrence of any conflict between labor and capital. We denounce the agitation of demagogues designed to foment and intensify these conflicts, and we most earnestly disapprove the use of private armed forces in any attempt to settle them. We believe that an appeal to the law and its ofticers is ample to protect property and pre- serve the peace, and favor the establishment in some form of boards or tribunals of con- ciliation, and arbitration for the peaceful settlement of disputes between capital and labor touching wages, hours of labor and such questions as appertain to the safety and physical and moral well being of the laboring man.

The benefit is all on the Hawaiian side, or ratherin favor of the Californians, who have $30,000,000 to $10,000,- 000 invested in the islands. Hawai pro- duces sugar, bananas and some other fruits, She sends fous every year about pounds of sugar. What that countr the Ame ns who have sugar plantations there want is the 2 cents per pound bounty we pay on_domestic sugar, At present they getno bounty. If Hawaii was annexed to country they would get the bounty we sugar makers, Tpon the amount she sends to us no would get 1 round figures 6,000 ally. Why, it is simply giving away r.
