" | people of a federal de- | | encor UNNETTLED QUESTIONS, The Fifty-second congress left unset- tled a number of important questions which the succeeding congress will be expeoted to act upon. The determined effort to secure the passage of a uniform bankruptey law, backed as it was by the | almost unanimous voice of the business | interests of the country, as represented in commercial organizations, failed. No measure before the last congress was more urgently pressod than this by those outside of congress dosiving such legis- lation, but filibustering and apathy stood in the way of its success. Another important measure that failed was the bill proposing certain amendments to | the national banking law designed to | promote the greater safety of national | banks. These proposed changes in the | law were recommended by the comp- | troller of the currency with the approval | of the secretavy of the treasury and also by the committee which investigated | the failure of certain eastern banks whose collapse was due to the misuse of funds by the officers of the banks, but ity appeared for the great as the neces: | amendments they did not pass and the old order of things must continue for at | 1east a year longer. One of the most important bills in- | troduced in the Fifty-second congre | in its relation to the interests and wel- very large portion of the was the one to extend free delivery of mail to small { towns. The institution of free rural de- livor, under the | last administration, a small appropria- | tion having been made for this purpose [ by the Fifty-first congress, proved to be a most gratifying Instead of being an expense to the department, as was expected, the revenue more than met the outlay, and this being the case it was reasonably expected that the last congress would make liberal provision its extension. It refused to do however, and the people of rural communities must be content with ex- isting conditions for at least a year or two more. This measure, it should be observed, passed the senate, and its fail- ure was due to the house—an instance of democratic economy. Another of the bills that failed for which there is a wide popular flemand was the one to establish postal savings banks. There are the most cogent arguments in favor of banks of this kind, particularly in the smaller towns where there are no sav- | ings banks, and where their establish- ment would enable millions of the peo- ple toput away a part of their earning ina place of absolute sccurity. The ten- dency of such institutions would be to ge prudence and thrift among the people, and their demonstrated suc- cess in other countries amply attests their value. But congress failed to be impressed by these considerations and the bill failed. All these measuves, had they become laws, would have contributed to the general welfare and none of them would have added anything to the cost of government. Their failure is a part of the evidence of the incompetency of the last congress. They will all doubtless be brought forward in the next congre and there is reason to hope with'a bet- ter chance of success. are of a the , on a restricted scale, success. 80, THE CANADIAN RAILWAYS. The new congress and the new admin- istration will be called upon to deal with several important subjects whic! oceupied much of the attention of the old in their closing days. Not the least interesting of these is the proposed legislation for the regulation of com- merce by rail between this country and Canada. The mes: sent to congress by President Harvison a short time since upon this subject and the measures that have been introduced in congress looking to the same end have commanded general intevest and ap- proval among senators and representa- tives, and there is every reason to be- lieve that President Cleveland will have an opportunity to sign a bill imposing such restrictions upon the railroad in- tercourse between the United States and Canada as will remove all cause of complaint on the part of the American competitors of the Canadian Pacific. The latter cor- poration has enjoyed privileges which have given it unjust advantages over its competitors operated under the pro- visions of our interstute commerce law, and there is now a general feeling that the justice and faiv play which cannot otherwise be secured must be enforced by the application of a stringent vemedy, The bill introduced by Repr Hitt of Illinois last wee line with the views ex dent Harrison, and as it meets with gen- eral favor it is pretty sure to be the one that will finally be crystalized into law by the action of the new congress and sentative This is | rommission merchants of Omaha | the approvai of the new president. It | was prepared after frequent conferenc | with President Harrison, the t1 | officials and the Interstate commission, and is believed to be com- | prehensive enough to cover the case | fully. The author of this bill prgposes ; to obviate the danger of the substitution of dutiable goods for free goods in transit | across Canada by having United States | inspectors accompany each train to see | that the seals remain unbroken and that | no fraud is attempted upon the revenue. | The bill authorizes the Interstate Com- merce commission to require informa- tion in bills of lading *‘that would tend to reveal any violation of the interstate ommerce law if such transportation had been wholly within the United States.” One section requirves that any foreign road doing business in the United States shall possess a license from the Inter- | state Commerce commission, and by the terms of this license it will be necessary for such corporation t> ‘“keep on file with the commission a power of attor- ney, naming vesident of the United States upon whom service of any order or notice of the commission or any process of any circuit court of the | United States may be served.” The commission is authorized to suspena such a license for a period not to exceed sury Commerce some person | vic ated the license may be suspended | tor si months, Another provision of the bill confers upon the president the power to “suspend the operation of any portion of the interstate commerce law that may hamper, impede or interfere with, orin any way place ata disad- | designs against the federalist part three mouths, but if the law is again | in competition with any forelgn common carrier for trafo to or from any point in the United States, and any part of any law providing for the admission free of duty or giving any special privileges by way of arrange- ments for sealing or transit in bond or otherwise of any merchandise or prop- orty in or through the territorial Hmits of the United States.” There is little doubt that this bill will become law, and under its provisions, which are thorough and comprehensive, it will be impossible for Canadian rail- ways to escape the restrictions that are placed by law upon the railways of the United States. ABSURD POLITICAL THEORIE The selection of Judge Gresham, who has never said that he is other than a republican, for secretary of state, has been interpreted in some quarters as in- dicating a purpose on the part of Mr. Cleveland to break up the democratic party and form a new one. These peo- ple forgoet, or do not know, that there aro numerous precedents for a prosident taking a man outside his party into his cabinet. The first one was furnished at the very beginning of the government, when Washington made Jefferson his secretary of state, without exciting any suspicion that the first president had any of which he was one of the recognized leaders. It is true that at that time Jefferson had not become actively iden- tified with the anti-federalists, but it was well known that he strongly leaned toward them. President Monvoe, who inaugurated the “era of good fecling," and whose example Mr. Cleveland has perhaps studied with admivation, made John Quincy Adams his secretary of state, and following these precedents Mr. Adams, when he became president, put Henry Clay at the head of his cabi- net, though it should be remarked that in connection with this appointment it was charged there was a “‘deal”—a charge, however, of which history has fully acquitted Adams and Clay. The appointments of Key and Schurz by President Hayes and of Wayne MacVeagh by President Garfield | are other examples that may properly be cited as precedents for the action of Mr. Cleveland, and nobody ever agsumed that those republican presidents had any idea of breaking up their party and forming a new one. Mr. Cleveland’s motive in appointing Judge Gresham was very likely to strengthen his party, just as Monros aimed to do for the party in his time, ‘Tt is possible that this may be the vesult, but nobody can be certain of it. The appoint- ment has caused a great deal of demo- cratic dissatisfaction which it will not be easy to allay. Then the alliance may not be permanent. Secretary Gresham has very positive convictions, which he will not readily yield. If the democratic party wants to retain him it must accept his views, otherwise he will be very likely to renounce such allegiance as he has given to it. Unless he has been greatly misunderstood he is not the man to surrender to personal ambition opin- ions and principles which he has long cherished. So far as the republican party is concerned it has nothing to fear from this action of a demo- cratic president, or from the fact that some republicans are in official po- sition under a democratic administra- tion. The country will judge that ad- ministration by the results of its treat- ment of the practical questions which will confront it, and when the time comes for the people to vender their ver- dict it will be of small consequence to them who is 1n the cabinet or any other public station. They will be guided by what they believe to be their interests. Meanwhile the republican party will find abundant opportunity for action upon local issues constantly arising, the treat- ment of which will have its effect for goad or i1l upon the future of the party. Another absurd theory is that the hearty official and popular consideration shown to Mr. Cleveland is evidence that party lines are being obliterated. The new president was not less pronounced in his declaration of democratic doc- trines because he was courteously enter- tained by the retiring republican presi. dent, and no one will pretend that the latter is less a republican today than he was four years ago. These courtesies, most becoming to the chosen rulersof an enlightened people, denote a welcome decadence of the bitter spirit of parti- sanship, but as to the division of parties they are 'wholly without significance. Party lines are as distinetly drawn today as they have ever been, REDUCE THAT BRIDGE TOLL. Mr. Spencer Smith, a prominent citi- zen of Council Bluffs, presents an un- answerable argument in favor of the reduction of the bridge tolls between Omaha and Council Bluffs from 10 to 5 per The facts and figures cited by Mr. Smith concerning the cost of the bridge and its fictitious capitalization afford conclusive proof that the promoters of the enterprise have very little of their own money in- vested. The bonds sold abroad have very nearly, if not fully, paid for the and the entire equipment of the motor line, The 10-cent rate and high wagon toll have enabled the company not only to pay the interest on bonds and operating ex- penses, but a dividend on 81,500,000 of stock representing almost pure water, The fact is that Omaha and Council Bluffs have already paid enough to build the bridge. Pottawattamie and Douglas counties should either join hands to buy the structure and make it a free bridge for all vehicles with a nt fare for street car passengers, or Omaha and Couneil Bluffs should pool issues and force a veduction of tolls to meet the de- mands of their population. If the Douglas street bridge people do not come down to a i-cent fave it may be necessary for citizens to apply for an injunction to compel the Union Pacific to operate its wagon bridge. If such a suit is brought there will be another Credit Mobilier scandal. One fact alone will create a sensation. It is within the knowledge of ral very prominent citizens of Omaha that a bonus of $10,- 000 was paid toa party that had proposed to operate the Union Pacific bridge, and the transaction by which cents passenger. sov that road was ohissled out of a thousand dollars a mon‘yllnunma was counte- nanced by certatn, directors and officers of the Union Pagiflc who have an inter- estin the Douglas §preet bridge. That other partios who were disposed to bid for the right to ‘ne¢ the Union Pacific wagon bridge 48 a' competitor of the Douglas street bridge were ‘fixed” is almost certain. These pointers show conclusively that. the Douglas strect concern is paying liberal dividends on an enormous amount of fietitious stock owned largely by en inside ring con- nected with the Union Pacific. The question is How mtch longer will they keep up the ombargo on travel and traffic between the two cities ? THE amendments to the interstate commeree law intended to overcome the effects of the judicial decisions which rendered the act practically inoperative ought speedily to be productive of re- sults in justification of the action. Tt has seemed that ever since the Counsel- man and Gresham decisions were ren- dered the Interstate Commerce commis- sion has been totally indifforent as to what the railroads we doing, and has not troubled itself to inquire whether they were complying with the more im- portant requirements of the law or not. It is not questionable that violations of the act are common enough and are not confined to any particular section of the country, but ave general. Nobody doubts that discriminations are going onall the time, and that except as to some of its minor requirements the in- terstate commerce act is being regularly disregarded. Ve likely the commis- sion is not without information that such is the case, but with the judicial de sions which tied its hands there was a plausible excvse for doing nothing. This no longer exists, the amendments to the law passed by congress giving the com- mission, it is believed, all the power ne- cessary to an effective enforcement of the law. At any rate it should let pass no opportunity to test its power under the amended law, and it is not to be doubted one can be found if it is sought. THE business conditions of the countr, at present ave on the whole very satis- factory, and it is grati g 1o obse that the change of administration seems to have had a reassuring effect in finan- cial circles. There was an improved feeling in the New York stock market at the close last Saturday and this situation was maintained yesterday. No valid reason can be given why it should be otherwise. Certainly so far as the conditions to prosperity are con- cerned they are everywhere present. Last year was one of, prosperity for all classes of interests, there is an ample supply of curréncy for all the legitimate uses of business, and the opportunities: for profitable. in- vestment have not deereased. The only thing that creates distrust is the contin- ued outflow of gold, and how this can be checked, if it be possible to check it, is unquestionably a perplexing problem. The greed of European countries for the yellow metal seems insatiable and of course they all prey upon the United States. Meanwhile the new administra- tion is pledged to maintain a sound and stable currency and to protect the credit of the government by the exercise of all the powers vested in it, and there can be no doubt that this pledge will be faith- fully observed. A BILL is pending before the legisla- ture of Michigan which proposes to con- fer upon the city of Detroit the right to establish a system of municipal electric rhting as a means of escape from the grasp of monopoly. But the monopoly men are not idle, for an amendment is proposed prohibiting the city from en- gaging in commercial lighting—that is, forbidding it to furnish light to private consumers. Why should not a city have the same right to supply private consumers that it has to protect the municipality,whose expenses are paid out of the pockets of private citizens? Private interests are concerned in both cases as against the greed and rapacity of monopolists. It is to be hoped that Detroit will win the fight and that the power of electrie lighting corporations to make their own terms will be so suc- cessfully disputed in this case that other cities will be encouraged to make a similar stand for their rights, THE agitation in favor of an extension of the suffrage in Belgium upon the basis of a property qualification reminds the New York Commercial Advertiser that it was shown last year that twenty of the thirty-six councilmen of New Haven p#id absolutely no taxes, that five out of twelve in Bridgeport were similarly situated, and that the mayor of the latter city was not a property owner. Much the same condition of affairs was found in some other Con- necticut towns, and doubtless it would be found upon investigation that the gov- ernment of many American cities is in the hands of men who are not taxpayers ayd thevefore have no personal interest in common with the masses of the people for whom they make and execute laws. N ESI MED domoeratic contempo- rary says: “The republican party yes- terday blew out the gas and went to bed.” It is the duty of the republicans in congress to prove that this is not true. The notion that because the democrats are in power they mpst be left to their own devices is neither wise nor patri- otic. They will need restraint, and it is the business of the minority to make a strong stand for what it believes to be ight without rartd to the disadvan- tages under which'it labors.
