The New York Voice of March 2 de- votes more than a column to Omaha and reproduces with great gusto the ex: travagant assertions embodied in the re nt petition for suppressing the social evil and enforeing the state statutes re- lating to gambling and the Sunday li- quor traffic. Not content with this so- called proof of Omaha's depravity the Voice also reprints the brazen falsehoods uttered by the Rev. B. Fay Mills on the last night of his sojourn in Omaha, which closed with the slanderous decla- ration that **No other city in the United States will begin to compare with Omaha in open temples of depravity.” The reverend gentlemen who edit the Voice and derive handsome incomes from “pulverizing the rum power” and advo- cating visionary reforms they know to be impracticable will doubtless continue to hold up Omaha as the most wicked city on the globe, while their within gun shot of the Five Points and Mott street, in which more vile rum is sold and drank in any one day than in Omaha in five years: and in which move deviltry and crime ave perpetrated ever night than there has been committed in Omaha in any one year, Those pious frauds ave always shocked at the mote in their neighbors' e; than by the beam that obscures their own vision. The lesson taught by ex- perience with visionary reforms and impractical reformers is very much like the experience of .the man who fired a shotgun that did more effective execu- tion at the breech than at the muzzle. Their aim is good, but their weapons go off at the wrong end and often do harm where they are intended to be beneficial anctum is A CROOKED RECEIVERSHIP, The selection of ¢ for the Reading company has caused a still further decline in the stock of the con- cern instead of serving to produce an inereased confidence in the permanency of the enterprise. The an- nouncement that the receivers, one of whom is President McLeod himself, will pursue the same policy that has been followed by that bold adventurver for a year past, has had a tendency to destroy rather than to build up the wavering faith of the capitalists upon whom thoe tottering Reading system must depend for the financial assistance which it neec ceivers value and That the Reading receivership is re- garded by the leading business men of the country as a public scandal has al- | ready been shown by many vigorous ex- | pre ns of opinion upon the subject. The New York Conumercial Bulletin says: “Itis the most extraordi feature in authorities of the state are proceeding in the courts for voidance of the lease of Lehigh Valley to the Reading con- devised and inaugurated this scheme for defying the law, and the president of the Lehigh Vall who acted with him i carrying it out, and in so doing dis- rogarded his obligations as a trustee for as | I men in | » willing | hanfuble cattle the | after | gislature is | | th | is nothing new or especiall | took a firm stand in maintainin this whole business that even while the ), the president of the Reading, who | the shareholders and troasurers of that company, are selected to man- age the property under orders of the But with them s associated a justice conrt of that court probably taken personal part in declaring the illegality of such trans- actions as the lease in question, but who now leaves the judicial bench in orde to join with Messrs, Meleod and Wil- bur in the management of the road which, the authorities of the state main- tain, is engaged indisrogarding the law Assuredly spectacle ever bes tion for the purpose of retaining in ical control of two corporations v persons against whom the state Mos are now proceeding in the It cannot be questioned by any one that this s on was made at the instance of the present management of the Reading and for the express purpos of retaining as far as possible control over the affairs of the company and power to continue the disregard of law of which the authoritic com- plain. This is a plain statoment of the case, and the conclusion to be derived from it that the Reading receivership is de- signed to defeat the ends of justice. That a justice of the court should leave the bench to as ate him- self with such men as McLeod and Wil bur, and such suspicious ci no stronger autho courts. state supreme under cumstances, is little less than scandalons, | The appointment of new receivers may be the upshot of the vigorous and ind nant protest that present ones. is made against the THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS. So far as the inaugural address of President Cloveland defines what is to be the policy of his administration its prineipal objects will be to maintain a sound and stable currency, reform the tarifl and advance civil reform, With regard to the first of these objects there will he no disagreement with the service | opinion of Mr. Cleveland as to its vital importan It is evident, that the president is not confident that his party can be brought to sce the way to maintain a sound currenc would direet, and he therefore counsels concessions, He had convincing evide within last few weeks however, has the | of the futility of attempts to coercs ac- quiescence in his finaneial views g to treat with that faction party, unqu bly the which rejects him as a finan- What success he will have in this course remains to be secn, but meanwhile the country is given the as- surance that the executive branch of the government will use all the powers vested in it to maintain the national credit and avert finan 1 disaster. On the subject of tariff reform Mr. Cleveland speaks in & more courageous and confident tone, knowing that here he has the masses of his party with him, but the advocates of a reform of the tariff cannot but be disappointed that president has presented not a single new thought to strengthen the cause. Much that he says about paternalism he said often before in different forms, and it is mild eriticism to characterize all of it as simply platitude. That a great deal of what Mr. Cleveland puts forth as sound principles, in his are protection, can be conclusively shown from the industrial history of the coun- try during the past thirty years to be es- sentially unsound, every candid must admit. But there is no encounr: ment for the extremists of his par what he regarding tavifl re- form. That task, he says, ‘‘must be undertaken wisely, without vindictive- ness; our mission not punishment, but vectification of wrongs.” That portion of the inaugural address which will be least pleasing to the par- isans of Mr. Cleveland is the reference 1 service reform. He finds oppor- tunity here to let it be understood that claims based on partisan service merely will receive little consideration. His ence to combinations of business in- terests for limiting production and fix ing prices will be generally approved, and except in the section where his 'ty is strongest there will be no jection to his declaration in favor oquality before the law for every zen, unimpaired by race or color. and he is now wi of his stronges tiong cial leade proposes ob- of iti There impres in what Mr. Cleveland regarding public expenditures. Every- body agrees that they shouid be limited to the necessi of the government, but. those necessities must be gaug with reference to promoting the best inter- osts of the whole people. Mr. Cleveland's plea for harmony is a confession that his party is divided, and there is implied in it an apprehension that he would better have concealed. Altogether the address is not a strong or impressive utterance, though it is dis- tinctly charvacteristic. THE RIGHT OF ASYLUM. A vigorous pr being pinst the negotiation of th tion treaty between the Un and Russia which was recently ratified This proce from two fety of American Friends of Russian Freedom and the Russian- American National league. The ob- jeetionable feature of the treaty is the clause which declares that any attempt upon the life of the czar or of any mem- ber of the royal family shall be regarded as . non-political offense and shcll extraditable. The protestants affirm that this violates the traditional policy of this government. Several years ago a proposed extradi tion treaty with Russia failed of vati tion because it contained a clause simil in effect to the one in the new treaty, and the effort of the British government some five or six yeavs to meession making ce ing a political colorin unsuceessful.

The American people do not that to 1y one alleged believe recourse assassination, even under such a despotism as that of Rus- | sia, is justi political r sympathize le as a means to forms.

THE I'FAI.HA TO DRAMATIC Mme. Modjeska, ninst :ssion to the Russian ART. ina talk with a rep- resentative of THE Bep, deprecated what she characterized as the “perni- starring | business,” declaring that it will be the ruln of the dramatic art in this countr The distinguished actress explained, what she meant by ng that anybody tan be a star now “‘prize fighters, divorced women, profes- sional burglars; anybody with a repu- tation for anything unusual can rush upon the stage and got press notices by the yard.” Mme. Modjeska took the managers to task for their indifference to everything but money making, and declaved that “the business ought to be to the old stock com- pany plan.” The last proposition has been repeatedly advocated by Modjeska, she having recently written st intelligently and earnestly upon it in one of the leading magazines. It is easy to understand how a great rtiste, sincerely devoted to her profes- sion and regarding it as a means of in- tellectual improvement and elevation, should keenly deplore the conditions to which she refers, and every intelli man and woman who appreciates dra- mat rt in its higher state must sympa- thize with her. Unfortunately, how- ever, there is small hope that either the exponents or the admirers of true dra- matic art will ever be able to effect the reform they desire and rid the stage of the debasing and de- teriorating conditions now so preva- lent. Has there ever been a time when thero was not something to dep in connection with the dramatic Addison inveighed against its faults and its demoralizing features in his day, and there has been no period since when the stage was quite free from these, in one form or another. Perhaps they are numerous and more widely dis- tributed now than ever before, but if such is the case it is because the stage is in greater demand for popular enter- tainment than at any previous period There are twenty theaters today wher there wasone a quarter of a century ago. v enterprising town has its “opera house.” in hundreds of communities whose older people never had an opportunity to a pla; before they had reached middle age or beyond the younger generation been made move or less familiar with the stage.
