It is a big enterprise and if it is finished within three years Omaha will have a quarter of a million population before the advent of the twentieth century. THE transfer and departure of Colonel William B. Bughes, who has filled the position of chief quartermaster Depart- ment of the Platte for the past five yoars will cause sincere regret, not only among the officers of this depart- ment, with whom he has been so inti- mately as: ated, but among a large cirele of civilian friends, whose esteem and respect Colonel Hughes enjoyed in an eminent deg Business men who came in contact with Colonel Hughes always found him courteous, attentive and impartial. While never swerving from the strict enforcement of contrac and regulations Colonel Hughes gave Omaha dealers fair play in any com- petition between them and those of rival cities. Inhis sceial intercourse Colonel Hughes is always a gentleman of the old school and by his culture and refined bearing made himself a favorite in the best of Omaha society. oms to have been a misundor- standing regarding the fees which Judge Eller declines to account for and turn into the county treasury, The pre- vailing impression caused by the contro- versy between the county judge and the commissioners has been that Judge Eller refused to include among the feos collected by him the marriago license foes which ave fixed by. law and properly belong to the class of fees that the gounty judge is accountable for. In reality the controversy has arisen over the fees paid by parties who request the county judge to perform the marriage ceremony. These fees are not preseribed by law, nor does the county judge enjoy & monopoly of splicing couples that apply for a license. Whatever they see fit to pay for this nunm‘«jmf‘mn ceremony is purely voluntary. ‘It is a perquisite and not a fee, and it is ex- ceedingly doubtful whother llu_\ county has any legitimate claim against the judge for these gifts from bridegrooms.

A fruitful cause of complaint among skilled workmen in this country is found in the fact that they are often compelled to compete with unskilled mon who have only half learned their trades, but who yet able to command regular wages | nd supply the places of thoroughly capa- | le and skiliful hands, It has | been, claimed, and not withuot good reason, that this has tendency to degrade the eompe workman, to diminish his earnings, and to put a premium upon ignorance and incompetency in the ranks of skilled labor. The trades unions have in some me: sted this evil, but its ex- istence is still recognized everywhe The development of industrial educa- on in this eountry, which is now rap- e [ ity shall be di | principle of an inheritanc | although idly going on, promi to do much toward recruiting the ranks of labor of | h class with thoroughly capa- | men, while at the same time it will | ' ghe of the recent United give plaint pr hual commis inter abuses Tho the labor conc this zainst system, sport of oner of cts in shows t \ing young men in the trad ing high skill and knowle: ssful wherever it ha ice.

The has prevailed in England for a century It has long been in vogue in New York and some otherstates. There is a growing sentiment in this country favorable to it, as shown by the fact that | the adoption of the principle has been proposed in the legislatuves of several state: A bill in the Ol legislature provides for taxing ail direct inheri- tances in estates of $1,000,000 or more per cent. tax inheritances has acted on by the senate. A Dbill for an act to tax inheritances has been introduced in the Nebraska legislature. It provides that on estates of $50,000 and not exceeding $100,000 a sum shall be levied and collected equal to 1 per cent on the value thereof: on estatos of $100,000 and not exceeding $200,000, 3 per cent: on estates of $200,- 000 and less than 000, 5 per cont: and on all estates in excess of $500,000 and less than 31,000,000, 10 per cent. On estates exceeding 31,000,000 the sum of 20 per cent shall be levied and col- lected. Such taxes shall be a lien upon been favorably the property of the deceased whether | heirs | in the hands of the direct or their grantees, shall constitute the entire levy on the estate for the given year, and shall bo paid into the general county fund of the proper county. Ob- jection may fairly be made to the meas- ure of taxation proposed by this bill, but the principle it embodies is just and right. An inheritance tax is unques- tionably & legitimate source of revenue to the state and there are the most cogent reasons in support of it. been by so eminent as Cooley that ‘*‘succession to an inheritance may be taxed as a privilege, notwithstanding property of the estate taxod,” that who inherit prop- those erty may justly be held to ond what thoy ar o jurist is is, owe some- r to the stato b .d upon to contribute under the gen- 1 system of taxation. As the bene- os of wealth accumulated by vea- son of conditions in the creation of which the whole people participated, there can be no injustice in requiring them to yield up for the general good a reasonable proportion of such wealth. The privilege, as Judge Cooley has state it,which they enjoy in succeeding toan in- heritance carries with itan obligation to the state, or to the community, that can be best met s0 as to serve the wellfare by giving tk to the whole people a share of what has been obtained ‘rom them, make such a return is recognized by many wealthy men in various public be quests, and an inheritance tax would simply be the general enforcement of this idea. If those who make their wealth acknowledge a debt to the publie, ce! tainly those who inherit it cannot rea sonably complain at being required to give t the public a portion of what they may have had no part in creating. It has been said in connection with this subject that the time has passed In Minnesota a proposition to It has | the | The duty or obligation to | | people do not ballev | this | meating | as | oth | L when the extravagance or thrift- lessness of descendants can be counted upon to dissipate the great for- tunes which have been gathered in the last thir They will remain and grow in the hands of those who re- them. It is obviously just on ery ground that the recipients of this wealth shall restore a percentage of it to the sta that the whole commun- tly banefited by it.

INCREASE CAPITAL CRIME, At the last meeting of the Prison Re- form eongress the statement was made that capital erime is steadily i rasing from year to year in this Parker of tho court at Fort Si the course of a ¢ presented statistic recently in 'we to the grand jury showing that such is the He ted that in 1880 the known murders in the United States werd In 1300 they reached 4,290, in 1891 08, and in 1892 the num- ber was 6,791, In four years there were committed in the United States over 20,000 known murde certainly a startling record. Some other facts presenteld by Judge Parker are no startling. These e that during the three years of 1890, 1891 and 1892 there were but 337 legal executions for murder, while the number of lynch- ings were 538. Such facts must caus sense of humiliation to every Amer citizen who takes pride in his country. What is the explanation? Judge Par- ker finds it in the laxity of the laws. He says there is too much indifference, too much sympathy, too much influenco and too much corruption. Doubt this is largely true explaining why so few murder are con- victed, There is a great deal of morbid popular sentiment against the infliction of the death penalty, which is exerted move or less forcefully at every trial for murder. Men whose hands ave red with the blood of the vietims are made the recipients of so- licitous attention from people whose first duty it should ba t uphold the law and aid in its proper enforcement, With ome of this class the most brutal mur- dever may become a sort of hero as soon as he is put on trial for his lifo. Juries are affected by this influence and in a y of cases where there should be nviction of capital crime a verdict is rendered that will involve only impris onment. Herein the public and the juries are at fault. The courts are not blameless. It too commonly the case that judges ave in- different and do not show that zeal and arnestness for the enforcement of the w which they ought to manifest. Del toleration of all the technical devices of which wily and astute crim- inal lawyers ave capable, and other ob- structions to the expedition of justice, are far too common in the ¢ourts of this country, and they are in no small meas- ur ible for the failure of the in cases of murder. Porhaps corruption plays a part, but it is.only a very small part. With regard to the ber of lynchings, thinks it due ular unwillingness to wait for the slow processes of the law. Doubtless in many cases this is so, but by far the greater number of lynchings take plac in th on of the country whe: hatred still strong with the and where there is no regard for th of a colored man. Referring, in his last annual message, to this form of lawle ident Harrison said: “7T lynching of colored people of crime is without the excuse which has s been urged Dby mobs for a failure to pursue the ap- pointed methods for the punishment of crime, that the acc have influence over courts and juri ings sometimes oceur elsewhere than in the south, but they constitute a very small percentage of the annual total, We not dispased to believe, as has [ st less as respons; increasing num- Parker to the pop- Judge ness, P frequent accused somet ety as patrons of | its | | | | | 1 1 undue | Lynch- | | the | ported books y | and the local publishi | lishi been asserted, that public unconcern at great erimos fevgrowing, To admit this is to concedo thaY the influence of all the | moral forcos of society is waning and that we are dvifting backward toward barbavism.

What is the Board of Trade here for? Tor state labor convention which is booked for Omaha this week is engrc ing the attention of all labor organi tions. No little importance will attach to its procecedings. It is within the power of the leaders to pave the way for harmonious relations between con- tractors and mechanies preparatory to the beginning of work in the spring, or they can by their action intimidate contractors to such an extent that little work can be done in Omaha during the season. Every me- chanie, eve laborer, every retail mer- chant and every property owner in Omaha is interested in this subject. The labor leaders hold a club in their hands and they should be mighty careful how they wield it. COUNTY COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS advocates an eight-foot roadway with Hturn-outs’ at intervals for count roads. Douglas county is about to ey pend $150,000 in the construction of road- ways, and of the people who voted this money will insist that it be wisely expended by the commissioners. They will not, in the opinion of THE BEE, approve of eight- foot roadways on the principal highways through the county. Most people will be disposed to conclude that if the county authorities cannot provide paved roads of at least sixteen-foot width with the money at hand it will b better to wait until they can. course THE Grand Army encampment will be held at Fremont t week for the annual clection of officers, A strong movement is on foot to have' the reunion held Omaha next this city are work with this object in prospect of success!
