T Omaha police authorities are proving that they are entirely in earnest in their determination to rid the city of suspicious chara and puta check upon crime. TuE contribution of Britain's imports of wheat and flour during the past year was only 18 per cent, while that of the United States was 45 per cent, and Russia is a wheat coun- try, too. Russia to Great urer has sold $185,000 worth of 5 per cent school bonds at a premium of $10,467. This is only another etraw that indicates the financial stand- 3u3 of Omaha at home and abroad.

They have prepared a program which will attract many of the stock breeders of the state who are deeply interested in the work of breeding the best grades of stock., Such meetings are helpful and should be en- couraged. A BILL is before the Illinois legisla- ture providing for the rveduetion of streét car fires to 3 cents in Chicago. Considering the big dividends paid by the street railway companies in that city on stock that has been watered with the greatest prodigality this rate would not bankrupt them THERE is no longer any doubt as to the attitude of the Pennsylvania legis- Jature in relation to cigarettes. The Tuwer house has just passed a bill, by a vote of 150 to 28, prohibiting the man- ufacture and sale of cigarettes in that state. If the measure becomes a law it will create a sensation. THEY are having lively times in the Wyoming legislature trying to elect a senator. It is now charged that a repub- lican senator has been abdueted and a democratic senator drugged to prevent them from voting, and vigorous investi- gations have been started. Have they another Taylor in Wyoming? A BILL has been introduced in the Yegislature of this state providing that all bulls within the borders of Nebraska shall be dehorned after they are two years old. The purpose is to render the animal harmless, but stockmen who are familiar with hornless cattle, such as the Polled Angns or the Galloway, will smile at this idea. The hornless bulls wmre terrific fighters and would make #hort work of a man if they attacked him. A CORRESPONDENT Beotts Blufl county exp: to Senator Darner’s irrigation bill, and says the people of that county do not ap- prove its provisions. He represents that the settlers on our western border do not ‘want to be taxed to help support a board of irrigation officers. The legislature in considering the irrigation question can well afford to listen to the advice of the people of western counties wher irrigation enterprises have ful and whose experience needs will enable them to determine what is best for the state. Above all things, the legislature should not listen t0 any professional irvigators who have personal axes to grind and cure nothing for the interests of the general publie. of THE BEE in heen succe and actual THE prediction of Thomas A. Edison that Chicago will be the London and New York the Liverpool of this country within half a century may not be real- ized, but there can bo no question that ‘the center of population and business activity is rapidly moving westward, and flml.lhu cities which have within a few years sprung up midway between the oceans will ba densely peopled when most of the old cities of the east which are of corresponding size at present will be but little larger than they arve today. Theve are great centers of commerce and population along the Atlantic coast which must become vastly greater than they are, but their number in compari- gon with the number that will be found fn the west half a century hence will bo small. Even now the heart of the cont nent has ceased to be regarded as either remote or new by castern people of in- telligence. N 8800 | | | | | | | Kansas v REPURLI BOURR NISM. In times past republicans always banked on the stupidity of the demo- cratic party and its limitless eapacit for blundering. For the twenty years from Lincoln to Garfield the democratic party made it its alm and jeet to oppose anything the publicans proposed, whether it wus right or wrong During that historie period republicans were aggr sively right nine times out of ten and the bourbons were almost always on the wrong side of every vital issue. Will republicans profit by the lessons of the past or will they in turn play the bour- bon and idiotically oppose every measure of reform and every effort to redress existing abuses whenever they are advo- cated by populists or democrats? This was the course of republicans in the Kansas legislature two years ago, when every bill and measure passed by the populist house, good, bad and indi ferent, was voted down indiscriminate! by the republican senate. The outeom was the loss of the state to Harrison, the defeat of the republican state ticket and the election of a demoerat to the United states senate. Will Nebraska republicans in the i s emulate the example of the publican bourbons? Tt action of the republicans in the senate on the labor trouble resolutions seems to indicate that they will. The republican purty always has proclaimed its sympathy for labor. Tts platforms from 1854 to 1892 have been outspoken in favor of protecting the working man and bettering his condition. The popuiists of the house passed res- olutions proposing an inquiry into the bor troubles at Lincoln with a view to bringing about a peaceful settlement by arbitration. It was manifestly impolitic for republicans to oppose these resolu- tions and place the party in antagonism with organized labor. The resolutions were certainly did not encourag: disorder. 1If the republican senators did not approve the wording they should have offered such amendments as might have suggested themselves. Buat be- 16 the resolutions came from the pop- uligts the republicans thought it the duty to oppose and defeat them. By so doing they have only placed another club in the hands of their political op- ponents, and lessened the chanes future success, Why can't republ waken to the fact that opposition to sole harmless, and ob- | | | anarchy or | everything that is proposed by the popu- | lists is nothing more nor 1 ing the role of the demcer over again. s than pl atic bourbon NO MORE RECOUNT JUGGLERY. A bill to recount the ballots cast for and agains stitution relating to an elective railroad commission and the investment of the permanent school fund has passed both houses of the legislature. Under the provisions of this bill all the ballots and poll books now in eustody of the clerk of each of the ve counties are to be forwarded to the state on or before the 15th day of Feb- ruary. The secretary, auditor of state and a committee of five members repre- senting the two houses of the legislature are constituted a beard to inspect, com- pare and recount the vote on the consti- tutional amendments submitted at the late general election and report their finding to the governor. If, upon the return of the report of said committee, it shall appear that eitber or both of the said amendments received a majority of all the votes cast, the governor shall issue his proclamation to that effect and the amendments are to become part of the constitution. We trust that Governor Crounse will not approve this bill. The votes for and against the constitutional amendments were counted and canvassed by the duly appointed election officers of the various counties. The returns were properly cortified to the secretary of state and by him transmit| to the legislature. That body in joint convention canvassed the vote of the entire state and pro- mulgated the result as certified to by the only officers authovized to count and cast up the returns. No protest or ro- monstrance was raised and nobody claimed that any fraud had been pe petrated or miscount made in any way. The proposition to recount the vote is an attempt to follow the dangerous pre- cedent of 1883, when the amendment increasing the pay of the members of the legislatuve from $3t0 #5 a day and ex- tending their session from forty to sixty days, was declared carried after a recount of ballots from one or two coun- ties in which a miscount had been alleged. It is notorious and historie that the returned ballots had been doc- tored purposely, and the recount was juggled by clerks employed to give the necessary majority to the legislative pay amendment, The bill just passed by the legislature invites a repetition of the high-handed imposture of 1883 on a larger scale. In 1883 the recount only included a couple of counties and the shortage in votes was only a fow hundred. Now it is pro- posed to recount ey precinet in the whole state, and more than 20,000 votes will have to be conjured up somewhere or somehow to give the amendments the necessary majority. Two years ago when the proposition was made to recount the vote on prohibition the proposition was voted down by a large majority. There is no more reason for vecounting the eonstitutional amend- ment vote this year than there was two years ago. It would involve a needless oxpense and a waste of time. The proper remedy is the re the constitution and a resubm all amendments on a separate ballot at the election of 1804, The ounting of amendments that failed to receive a majority is manifestly improper and ill-advised. ision of ion of THE question that most concerns the democratic wheelhorses in Nebrask just now is who among- them will have the longest pull in the house of Cleve- land. It is amusing to witness the antics of these would-be federal pap-dispensers in their efforts to claim the credit for the election of a populist to the United States senate. With infinite gall they assume proprictary control of the senator-elect and flood the wires with assurances that he will vote with the administration on all party measures, This does not mean the amendments to the con- | secretary of | 1 | that will cost the | est earnestness the enactment of such a that Judge Allen will become the mere puppet of democratic acrobats. People who know him best will be disposed to think that he will have a mind of his | own and will not soon forget that he was brought forward and elected by the vot of the populistmembers of the legislature; that the democrats came to the populists not the populists to the democrats While it is probable that Judge Allen appreciates the votes of the democratic members it is fair to predict that he will insist upon being senator, MEASURE FOR SAFETY APPLIANCES. The debate in the United States senate on Tuesday upon the bill to promote the safety of employes and travelers on rail- roads by compelling the latter to equip their cars with automatic couplers and continuous brakes, and their locomotives with driving wheel brakes, was some- what disappointing to the friends of the measure. After a desultory discussion, in which there was rather more of polit- ical brdinage than anything else, the bill | went over without action. Congress should not make the mistake of supposing that there is no general | popular interest in this measure. Whether the terms of its provisions are the best that could have been devised or not, its spirit and purpose are too | serious and important to be lightly treated, and the people are very much alive to the necessity of legislation that will diminish the present appalling death rate among railroad employes and insure greater security to the traveling publ The objections interposed by certain senators seem too frivolous to have been seriously intended. The claim that the railroad companies are complying with the demand for safety appliances as fast as they can has no foundation whatever in fac A great variety of patent couplers have heen in- troduced, and perhaps at considerable expense, but these various devices have aggravated rather than corrected the evil. What is wanted is a uniform | system of brakes and couplers, and the ineasure under consideration provides for this. A diversity of contrivances for coupling cars v fruitful of danger, and perhaps Senator Woleott is right when he says that the railroad omployes prefer the old link and pin to such a mixed assortment of devices. Members of congress who ave afraid of inflicting an unjust barden upon the railvoad corporations by enacting a law | latter large aggre- gate sum of money—Senator Harris says $100,000,000 to $150,000,000—should not lose sight of the fact that it will also save them a vast sum. It is very ex- pensive to the railroad companies to destroy lives and property at the present vate. - It is idle to place the cost of this reform at hundreds of millions, but let it 025t what it may it is imperatively necessary and must not be sidetracked by corporate influsnce or any other considerations, As Senator Cullom truly says, the railway employe would be safer if they were in the arm in a time of war than they now are. The frightful slaughter now constantly going on was shown by the figures presented in the last annual message of President Har- rison, who recommended with the great- is source law as is now proposed. As the bill under consideration allows several yoars for full compliance with its provisions, in order that the burden | of expense may not be too severely felt, | it is desirable that the law should be put into operation as soon as possibl There ought to be no unnccessary delay. PUBLIC HEALTH AND POLITICS. Partisan bias may have somewhat ex- aggerated the inefficiency of the Tam- many quarantine system in New York, but the fact that the New York Acad- | emy of Medicine has without a single dissenting voice condemned that system as managed last fall by Health Officer Jenkins and his licutenants affords suf- ficient proof that it does not crmmend itself to the best medical authorities and emphasizes the necessity of national quarantine. The protection of the country from cholera should be absolutely divorced from politics. Neither Tammany nor any other political organization should bo permitted t> control the ma- chinery of quarantine at the port of New York, where the chief danger lies. A committee of the academy of medicine referred to made reful investigation of the system enforced by Dr. Jenkins, and in its report it said: “We found the quavantine systom established at this port utterly insufficient for dealing with any emergency in which more than a single large immigrant passenger ship infected with cholera should present it- self. We found that the facilities which did st or were extemporized were not administered in such a way as to inspire idence.” ) The opposition to Tammany - manage- ment of the important business of keep- ing out the cholera does not arite from political jealousy or rivalry. It springs froma profound sense of the peril to which the country may be exposed through the prostitution of official functions to sclfish ends. With an army of New York politicians in control of the quarantine machinery of the principal port of the United States the security of the people would certainly be endan- gered. National control alone will satisfy the country. The best that can be givenin the way of protection will prove none to good, and less than that would be criminal. THE mayor of Detroit is engaged in a vigorous and determined fight against the street railway corporations and the olectric light and gas companies of that sity. He has hauled the street railway companies into the courts and they are struggling for their very existence: the three gas companies are in danger of losing their franchises, and the electric light company is lobbying in the I lature to save itself.

We of the irrigation dis- trict of Nebraska do not want that bill to pass, and will do our utmost to provent its passage. 1 have been unable to find cne man living in the irrigation district that ap- proves of that bill whohas readit. We have held meetings and discussed same and are now circulating petitions to send to the hon- orable body, the logislature, to prevent the passage of that bill. We think the officers necessary under that bill are unnecessary, and that the taxation to support same and meet the expense would be unjust and un- sary, and that the development of irri- gation and building of irrigation ditches would get a set back. In place of improving the devolopment of the arid part of Ni braska it would prevent the same. The bill is too long to ais here and state all its bad features, as it is about as long as the present consolidated statutes of the state. The irrigation area of this county alone (Scotts Bluffs county) at the present time is 50,000 ac ‘We haveabout 160 miles of ches constructed at a cost of about $200,000, and surv made and ditches under con- struction amounting to 200 miles in length more and covering an area of 150,000 acre: more of land that will be reclaimed when the es under construction are completed. has been brought about under our pre: ent irrigation law, which gives good sati faction here, except a few minor things in the law which might be ¢ cted. Oneis the measuring of water, which should be changed from inches under four inch pressure to cubic feet per second of time, to make easier the measuring and distributing of water; another compelling filing of maps of ditches with th esecretary of state and at the county clerk’s office in the county where the ditch is located. The above as amel ments to our present law would make good a law on rrigation as is necessary or needed at the present time. Irrigation is growing in western Nebraska as rapidly it ever did in any state in the union wi same length of time since the first ditch was built in the state.

C,, Feb. 8 —A story tele- graphed from the capitol relative to the na- tional quarantine bill this morning, which is given as an index to the feeling of the house on the silver question, is so incorrect t its denial is almost unnecessary. When the conference report on the national quarantine today Mr. Kilgore of Texas began plan of filibustering against the report, but the house took the matter in hand, sat down upon the filibusters and agreed to the senate amendment by a vote to 2. This was the result of unanimous feeling in the house legislation intended to keep out the choler was imperative and trifling with such an important matter should not be tolerated. For this reason silver men and anti-silver men and all others joined hands and stopped filibustering. The silver question did not appear in the contest, for advocates of free coinage and the antis stood side by side and choked off all efforts at filibustering. D\ spite this the statement was telegraphed that the vote was indicative of the temper of the house on the silver question. Both sides deny that there is anything in the story. badly bly hurt.
