My attention has boen called to the following piece of ‘‘state house" gossip which appoars in thoe Lincoln Jowrnal yesterday under the caption of ROSEWATER ITAIMONY, Tho speclal committee anpolnted to Inves- tigate tho penitentiary cell house contract and expenditure of the #0,000 appropria- tion is expected to report to the house today and those who profess to know claim that it will be a report intended on its face to smirch Build- ings, consisting of Secretary Allen, Treasurer Hill, Attorney Gieneral Hastings and Com- missioner Humphrey. This is confidently expected, but as a member of the boord said last night: “We are informed by reliable authority that Rosewater hac piactically dictated the report with the sole object in view of smirching the board. Thecommitteo is known as Keckley's committee, owned and dictated to by Keckley and Rosowater, Sev- meimbers of the committee do not sine- on things done by the committee, and the, admit that Rosewater has used his influence by personally visiting its members, [ have reason to believe that the first report was destroyed because it did not denounce members of the board in terms strong criough to suit the bosses. It was then replaced by rt furnished by the same in- fluence." For the benefit of whom it may con- n I feel impelled to brand the entirve sehoods. s dictated the y contract in- sommittee. At this writing I have not even read that report or any part of the tostimony. Itis not true that I have instigated any part of the committee's report, or even conf 1 with the committee or any member thereof concerning the tes- timony taken or the conclusions reached therefrom. [ have not talked with Mr. Keckley about the subject in question since the committee was reorganized by order of the house, nor have I sought to influence the action of the committee dirvectly or indirectly, in mode of proce- dure or findings, and I challenge proofs to the contrary from anybody inside or outside of the committee. I did say at the outset of the investi- gation and now repeat that if any state officer, high or low, is found by credible evidence to be implicated in any corrupt deal with the contractor of the peniten- tiary, or has connived or winked at any swindle, theft or misappropriation of state funds in connection with the build- ing of the cell house, he should be made to step down and out. He should either relieve the party from responsibility for his betrayal of trust by voluntary resig- nation or be disgraced by impeachment for high misdemeanors, and member of the board who found by the testimony taken to have been a party to frauds perpetrated upon the state while acting in an official capacity should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If this be treason to the republican party let those who feel themselves ag- grieved make the most of it. I feel con- vinced that there is no salvation for the republican party of Nebraska unless it can purge itself of the corruption and malfeasance that has permeated the state capital for a number cf years, Twenty-two y ago when the state was being plundered and the treasury pillaged by corrupt republican state offi- cials, a republican legislature. purged the state house by impeaching and de- posing a republican governor and auditor of state. took an active part in that memorable session I do not hesitate to assert that our vindication of the law in the face of tremendous pressure saved the party and gave it renewed vitality. The lcad under which the party is groaning today by reason of statehouse scandals is greater if anything than it was in 1871, The cancer must either be scarified and cut out or the party is doomed. 1 presume the reference to Rosewater and harmony is a sneer intended to re- call the fact that certain state officers worked and voted for the resolutions passed at the Kearney convention en- dorsing me for membership on the na- tional committee as a peace offiering to insure harmony in the last camp; Whatever may have been their d or desire there certainly was no com- pact or understanding botween us that would cbligate me to uphold or defend any republican official who has been derelict to his duty or implicated in any corrupt transaction. Had there been any such a proposition made the offer would have been spurned and the honor tendered me peremptorily declined. The task imposed on me as national com- mitteeman was not a sinecure. It quived constant vigilance and unremit- ting exertion. In the discharge of ths thankless duty I not only devoted valu- able time and gave unvemitting atten- tion but contributed over $2,000 of my own money. This was done cheerfully and without & murmur in spite of all caviling on the part of malcontents who sought to obstruct the work. But in my humble estimation the national commit- teeman is neither in honor or duty bound to countenance or condone conduct on the part of republican officials that tends to destroy public confidence in the party For myself [ propose to denounce dis- honest practices and public robbery by, whomsoev committed let the conse- quences be what they may. E. ROSEWATER. A GRAVE DANGER TO OMAHA, It may as well bd understood by our citizens first as last that the defeat of the charter amendments means the worst bluck eye that Omaha has had since the collapse of the boom of 1887, It means that we shall not be able to ex- pend a dollar this year or next year for paving, grading or sewerage. It means that the contracts let last year for pave- ments and sewers that were to be begun this spring must be rescinded and that no new contracts for public improve- ments involving the issue of bonds can be made in 1803 and cannot be made in 1894 without vaising the assessed valua- tion by several millions. It means, furthermore, that no viaducts can be built in Omaha for the next two years, unless the railroads volunteer to pay for them, which they are not likely to do unless they get concessions out of Omaha in the way of tax exemptions, froe rights-of-way and donations of property worth ten times as much as the viaduets. A stoppage of all public improvments fortwo years means paralysis for the 1t is not true that T ha réport of the penitentiar, any ex- has been sign re- | legislature with reg As one of the republicans who | T e TYRFY SIS Ry RRTOONS A% retail trade. Tt moans, furthermore, & certain loss of population when we are in position to make a material gain, and a loss of population means not only stagna- tion in the real estate market but down- right shrinkage in values, the foreclos- ure of hundreds of homes and the bank- ruptey of scores of men who would otherwise be able to maintain their credit and meet their obligations, The amazing thing about this fight against the charter is that the great body of our property owners and busi- ness men exhibit an indifference that can be interpreted only as one of two things—they have either not waked up to the danger that menaces their inter- ests or they are depending upon luck and accident to counteract the cutthroat policy pursued by a few selfish capital- ists who are willing to wreck the town to keep up the taxshirking methods by which they have for years been able to shift their proper share of the burdens of government upon the middle class and the poor home owners. The most amazing thing of all is the attitude of the Douglas delegation in the ard to the charte They have never conferred together con- cerning its provisions, have never tried to reach any agreement and do not seem to care very much what becomes of it, although the chavter is presumed to be the most important measure which their constituents J 't them to carry through the legislature. This attitude of the delegation is inexplicable except upon the theory that the eitizens of Omaha outside of a very limited number care nothing about the charter. Inasmuch as the legislature will only sit two weeks longer, it is about time for our people to make their wishes heard by public meetings, petitions and remon- strances and by letters addressed to membors of the delegation. LATURE SHOULD REG- ULATE. The auestion which above all others concerns the prosperity and the welfare of the people of Nebraska is that of regu- lating railroad rates. For years the producers of this state have been asking for a reasonable reduction of the burden- some and oppressive charges of the rail- roads, but without avail. The political partics have pledged them cory two years to comply with this just de- mand of the people for relief, but every succeeding legislature chas yiclded to the influence and the manipulation of the corporations and failed to redeem the pledge. There has been a persistent betrayal of the confidence of the people by their representatives, with the result of retarding the progress of thoe state, diminishing the general pros- perity and transferring millions of dol- lars unjustly taken from the pockets of the people to the coffers of the railroad corporations. Again the contest is on which will de- termine whether the people are at last to get relief or are once more to suffer defeat at the hands of the combined cor- porations. Tt is proposed that the legislature shall adopt a max- imum rate Dbill and a measure has passed the house which provides for an average reduction of about 20 per cent. The constitution of 1875 gave the legislature the power to regulate railroad rates. In the eighteen years since it has failed to exercise that power. Ten ago the Stato Board of Trans- portation was ercated. It was created at the behest of the railroads as a substi- tute for legislative regulation. From the outset the board has been and still re- mains the pliant tool and obedient crea- ture of the corporations. Tt has lost the people tens of thousands of dollars for which it has given absolutely no return. Tts pretond=z efforts to regulate rates in the interest of the public were deliber- ately designed to deceive and mislead. I'rom the outset it has played a confidence game upon the producers and consumers of Nebraska. There isnothing better to be expected from it hereafter. The duty, therefore, devolves upon the legi lature to enact & just and reasonable maximum rate law and make such pro- vision for its enforcement that the rail- roads cannot cscape or evade it. Had the Board of Transportation performed its duty as tho Iowa commission done there would be no necessity for legislation to regulate rates question would long ago have been tled and disposed of. Bacause the board has not been faithful to its trust and has justly forfeited the public confidence the representatives of the people are called upon to deal with this most important question and supply the relief which the people of this state are entitled to and must have in order to give Nebraska an equal chance with other western states in the race of material progress. The statements of the railroad man- agers, shrewdly prepared to show the loss and injury that would result to the corporations from a reduction of rates, will be regarded by those who under- stand the methods of these managers with due allowance. Itisa very essen- tial part of their duties to maintain high rates and they are never with- out, a plausible reason in de- fense of their cou of ex- action. The experience here is but a repetition of that of Towa and every other state where railroad rate regula- tion has been undertaken. The rail- roads of Towa professed to sce only dis- aster in tho policy adopted by the rail- road commission of that state, yet the statistics show that they have real- ized a greater measure of prosperity since that policy was inaugurated than before, while at the same time the industrial and agricultural interests of the state have been very greatly bene- fited. The people of Nebraska do not ask or expect Towa rates, but when they find, as is the case, that they are charged from 20 to 150 per cent more than the people of Towa they believe they ave justifiod in de- manding a reduction, and they will persist in doing so until they obtain just treatment from the ecorporations, We present in another column examples of rates by difforent routes, which plainly show the diseriminations and exactions to which the people of Nebraska are subjected. The maximum rate bill has passed the house by the decisive vote of 63 to 30, If the republicans of the senate do their duty in obedience to the pledge of the party to the people the measure will WHY THE LE has now The poss that b nd Nobraska will be given a law ¢ will afford material relief to the prodweors and consumers of the state. Ot} the most perfidions betrayal of popular confidence can now defeat this méfilure of justice to the people, ia I 18 announgef that Prosident Cle land has decidgd that the financial situ- ation does not make a demand for an extra session of eongress, It appears to be the conclusidn”of the administration that there is ample authority under ex- isting law, reference being had to the provisions of the resumption act, for issuing bonds to fortify the geld v of the treasury, and the inference is serve that it is the intention of the administra- | tion to act under this authority when- ever itshall conclude that the emergency has arrived to justify such action. It would seem that this is liable to be reached in a very short time, for there cannot be remaining in the treasury to exceed 00,000 of free gold, if so much, and it is hardly probable that Secrotary Carlisle will intrench upon the $100,000,000 reserve held for the re- demption of legal tender notes. [t would obviously be dangerous to do this, granting that the secretary has the power, which is questionable, at least in advance of the issue of bonds, since the possible effect would be to cause a premium on gold. The specie basis rests wholly upon the gold reserve cre- ated under the resumption act, and any interference with this would be hazard- ous. The policy of the administration in this matter is likely to be developed within a very short time. I appears, upon the authority of one of the Hawaiian commissioners, that some time before the annexation schemo was hatched a deal had been arranged between the American Sugar trust and the sugar planters of Hawaii. This was an agreement that the trust was to take the Hawailun sugar product upon the condition that if at any time the Ha- waiian planters should receive the bene- fits of the sugar bounty provided by the MeKinl, law one-half of the amount was to bo paid to the trust. This is an interesting fact illustrative of the greed of that monopoly, which under this arrangment, could it have been carried out, would have in- ! creased its revenues several million dollars, practically taking the amount out of the United States treasury. Of cour under the circumstances, the Hawaiian planters saw no way but to submit to this condition, which was no better from a moral point of view than the demand of a highwayman. To have rejected it would have been to shut themselves out of the American market. It need havdly' be said that Claus Spreckles and lisassociates in the sugar monopoly are not, opposed to Hawaiian annexation, THE princel Harvard unive, Bbquest of $2,000,000 to ity by Gordon McKay a retived New Ergland shoe manufa turer, will prove of great advantage to that institution.” ‘Nobody has the right to criticise such a gift, yet it would seem as if a manufacturer, whose sym- pathies should have been with labor and whose knowledge of the needs of poor men's sons must have been extensive, might have given a portion of his la fortune to help the poor boys who can- not go to Harvard or any other great university, and who are anxious to secure an education. If the men who win their way to aflluence as manufas turers and employers of men do not aid the poor men’s sons in their efforts to rise by placing opportunities before them, who can be expected to do it? THE BEE is not an alarmist, but it feels impelled to warn taxpaying ens und the working people that the failure to pass the charter will be a serious injury to all classes of our peo- ple, excepting possibly the mortgage sharks and taxshirkers. Even the cor- porations that hold franchises for sup- plying water, light, power and street car transportation will find that they can better afford to pay their share of taxes than suffer a shrinkage of income that would inevitably follow the shrinkage of population and trade caused by a stop- page of public improvements. WHEN the Towa railroad commission- ers fivst began to make schedules for reduced rates they took as a basis there- for the secret rates given to merchants who received vebates. While the road had made such reductions voluntavily, they contested the right of the state to compel them to make the rates open to all patrons. But the state had the right to do so, as the roads learned long ago. SECRETARY CARLISLE has directed that the names of applicants for any office in the Treasury department shall be given to the press. The obvious in- tent of the secretary is to afford an op- portunity to all who may be inclined, in- cluding the newspaper, to file objections to the appointment, of any unworthy man to office in his department. This innova- tion is in the interest of good govern- ment.
