Many cities are now dealing with it and Omaha is among the number. Our present system must be abandoned or modified at once. IN ONE county of Arizona the board of supervisors has offered a reward of $2,000 to the person first developing an artesian well within the borders of the county with a flow of 17,500 gallons for ten consecutive days. They are after water in earncst in Arizona, and they need it.

Mr. Keckley is made up of the kind of timber that is not blown over by fitful gusts of wind. THE democratic office seekersare dili- gently reading President Cleveland’s civil service reform utterances on the occasion of his inauguration in the hope of finding something between the lines that wili encourage them to hope that the victors will get all the spoils. Nobody has yet been able to make out exactly what the president did mean. IT I8 probable that the administration will speedily recall the American min- ister to Hawaiiy Mr. Stevens, and re- place him with a man who can go there free from any prejudice and not under the influence of the men who are pro- moting the ¢ause of annexation. There has been no intimation that our minis- ter was prompted in the action he has taken by any other motive than a desire ‘o promote what he conceived to be the bost interests of the United States, but his demonstrative interest in the revolu- tionary cause was certainly uncalled for and it suggests that he may not be a trustworthy source of information as to the real sentiment of a majority of the people of Hawaii. -Not a groat deal of importance is to be given to the state- ments of the deposed queen, who of course has no friendly fecling toward the minister, but regardloss of this 1t is clearly desirable that some one be sent there who can report upon the condition of affairs absolutely without prejudice. THE latest ropean advices give promise that the present year is to be a period of great political interest in the old world. The matter which is just now giving most concern to European statesmen is the proposed abdication of the emperor of Austria, whose many cares and sorrows have made him utter! ly weary of power. His retirement would probably be followed by most important results affecting the relations of Austria- Hungary to the other powers, and therefore he is being strongly urged not to abdicate. The sit- uation in Germany is a troubled one for the government, which is in uncertainty regarding the fate of the army bill, while the threatened disruption of the triple alliance has led Emperor William to project a trip to Italy for the purpose of endeavoring to adjust the differences between that country and Austria. In France the disclosures in the Panama canal investigation over- shadow everything eolse and another ministerial crisii seems to be at hand. On the whole European affairs present some very interesting features that seem 10 assure this as a memorable year for most of the nations of the old world.

STOP BLUFFING AND SHOW UP, The following offer was made by the editor of the World-Harald to the editor of Tie Bre: If Tite: Dar is_found to’ have more subscribers in 1 Bluffs than the World- Herald T will you or the above named charitable institutions $1 for each subscriber that Tue Ber may be found to have there i excess of the providing you will agree, in c 0 puy 50 cents for each subgcriber which the' World- Herald has there in oxcess of Tur Bee, The offer was not accepted. 1t is still opon.— World-Herald, If Mr. Hitcheock will stop his blufing about Council Bluffs and proceed to *business by printing his South Omaha list he will be accommodated. We will give him $3 for every paying carrier de- livery subscriber to The Morning World- Herald in Council Bluffs if he will pay $1 for every paying carrier delivery subscriber to THE MORNING BEE at Council Bluffs. As a matter of fact THE MORNING BF has fully five bona fide subseribers in Council Bluffs for every single subscriber for The Morning World-Herald. Tug EVENING BEE is not delivered in Coun- cil Bluffs at any price. But, as we remarked before, let us get to business on Omaha and Nebraska This is the field covered by THE B £5,000 forfeit. When Mr. Hitchcock bantered the editor of THE BEE about South Omaha he was promptly taken up on his offer and asked to begin with South Omahas as quick as possible. Instead of eoming to time promptly he put off his proposed exhibit of the World-Herald South Omaha list to next Saturday. Why this delay? Coula not the South Omaha list be copied in a day, or is it to be doctored and stuffed for the emergency? ARIFE REFORM, and plainly indicated in his inangural 33 that it would not bo the policy of his administration to follow the promise of the Chicago platform and strike a deadly blow at protection, some of the party organs which were loudest in condemning pro- tection are now admitting that it would not be wise to abandon it alt)gather and are that all that was ever in- tended, despite the very plain and un- equivocal language of the national plat- form, was a modification of the tariff, One of theso organs says that “‘the aim will be to ) reform the tariff on just economical principles as to speedily banish the spivit of protection,” which may | | in some measur Porhaps no nowspaper speaks with move authori the intentions of Mr. Cleveland than the | Philadelphia Lodger.

Can he in- duce the oxtremists, who are perhaps the larger element of the party, to modify their opinions and come to his terms? There have been intimations nt any attempt on the part of the administration to force a taviff bill of its own upon them, and the will be ve likely to do so, but there is reason to believe that they will ultin yield, rather than that the party should do nothing in the way of tariff reform. The safe conelusion would seem to be that while there will be a general revision of the tariff it will be made within conservative limits, and | that there will be no attempt to destroy the protective policy and surrender the American market to the foreign com- petitors of American industries. There is nothing in such an outlook to disturb the industrial interests of the country. BELITTLING ENTERPRISE, The policy of this paper has been from its inception not to blow its own horn, itself. s the only paper west of Chi- ad a special reporter of its Orleans at the Sullivan- Corbott prize fight and during the sjar ring contests of the past week. It did not send a syndicate man, hired by a dozen or more papers, but deputed for this work Mr. Sandy Griswold, itssport- ing cditor, who is recognized smong the most accomplished men in that line in this country. It so happened that Mr. Griswold duplicated as a part of one of his dis- patches from New Orleans a description of several pugilists that had appeaved originally in the Chicago T'imes, not as a telegram but as an 1llustrated article on prominent pugilists. This may have been plagiarism, but it is not more un- common than a reproduction of bio- graphical sketches from cyclopedias and magazines that usually appear in the leading papers of the country, with tele- graphic announcements of some great achievement, ' criminal act or death of an individual. And now the World-Herald, which fabricates most of its news in its edi torial rooms, raises a great hue and cry about Mr. Griswold's fake dispatches and seeks to create the impression that Mr. Griswold's name was signed to a set of grapevine telegrams that were gotten up to order in THi Ber office. While THE BEE can well afford any compa son that may be made botween its tele- graphic columns and those of the Fake- Mill, it may not be out of order to show that every special telegram published over the name of Sand wold was genuine, The following e ate speaks for itsel March 10, 1803.—I hereby certify 1 dispatches received over the delivered to Tur Omana BEE on the follow- ing dats ining the number of words set opposite to each date: Date. Februa Febru March Words. . 1,775 fln- raphic new h'nm Nuw Orleans which THE BEE published, but it affords eonclusive proof that Tue Beg is not obliged to fabricate dispatches with the seissors in order to keep up appear- ances. The truth is that our special dispatches frequently have to be cur- tailed for the want of available space. Tue BeEE has paid for over 15,000 words of special dispatches from New Orleans. How much special did the World-Herald get by telegraph from New Orleans? Not one solitary word. Do WE NT SPECULATIV There has w. BANKING? been introduced in both houses of the legislature a bill which may properly be described as intended to encourage speculative banking. It provides that any number of persons, not less than five, may associate together for the purpose of forming a trust eompany, and such organization is authorized to do everything that constitutes a banking business and something more. It could receive deposits and mako loans, pur- i chase, invest in and sell stocks, bills of exchange, notes, bonds and mortgages | and other securities and do other things that are common t) banking, except to issue bills intended to circulate as | money. The proposed corporations would enjoy in addition the privileges his organ than any other paper. In commenting upon the inaugural address that journal, which has always beon friendly to protection, construed the re- marks of Mr. Cleveland regarding taviff be made to destroy protection, and that the reform in the tariff which he con- templates, and which is expected to bo developed in an administration bill to be ready when the next congress meets, will be a very moderate dep from the existing system. It is belioved that the Ledger spoke from an accurate knowlodge of the sentimonts and pur- pose of the president, in fact that its | utterance was inspired by him, and hence there is every reason to accept it with confidence. ‘ Tarifl veform of the character thus reform as meaning that no attempt would | and functions of trust companies dis- | tinctively. | The enactment of this bill into law would open the way for organizing in | Nebraska a numbor of speculative con- cerns which would bring disaster to | thousands of depositors. The proposed legislation would be harmful to all hon- est banking interests and to the public generally. It would supply no demand that is not fully met under existing law in relation to banking and trust companies, while it would afford an | opportunity for unserupulous persons to engage in this business to an almost | unlimited extent. The effect of this would be to seriously disturb and demor- alize the banking business in this state, which is now on a quite satistactory basis. Under the banking luw passed a | itis to be | ' | which their fow yoars ago, wT\h'h appears to have been well nuh‘flnd, the peoplo of Nebraska have Sulfored very little by reason of dishonest.banking, so far as the institutions regehed by the law are concerned.

Justice to the honest banking interests of the stato and the protection of the people against possible fraud demand the defeat of the bill in question. he CONVICT LABOR REFORM. The old problem of prison labor re- form, with which almost every state in the union has attempted to deal in one way or another, seems as far from a sat- isfactory solution To provide labor for conviets by which the burden support imposes upon the taxpayers of the state may be dimin- ished without placing that labor in com- petition with that of the honest wage earner is an undertaking that presents some v perplexing diffieultic Even in the state of New York, where the penal system has been the subject of much study and has been brought to a high state of perfection by means of reform measures that have been applied from time to time, the ques- tion of prison labor is still an unsettled one. A bill is now pending before the legislature of that state providing that road making shall be a part of the hard labor included in the conviet's sentence. The pressure of public sentiment against convict lease is strong in every The prison contract system is hosti the interests of honest labor meots with condemnation from toilin, masses on every hand. This not a mere matter of prejudice; it involves the great question of daily bread in which many thousands of men who work for a living are vitally concerned. In the state of Nebraska the conviet labor problem is as important as else- where. There isa demand among our wage earners fora reform in this e spect that will prevent the enforced labor of the convict from coming into competition with. that of the honest workman who obeys the laws and con- tributes his share to the support of the commonwealth, This demand at times when work to find and many ave obliged to eat the bread of idleness. It is by no means snrprising that work- ingmen who avé out of employment should entertain a strong feeling of r sentment against a prison system which employs convicts to do work which re- duces by so much the demand for t} own labor. As it must be conceded that labor of some kind an essential part of any state penal system the prime object is to determine what that bor shall be, with the purpose constantly in mind of reducing to a minimum the competition with ~ honest‘ toil. It may be argued that labor of any useful and productive kind on the pavt of pris- oners must constitute such competition, butthis is not altogether true. Road- making in the state of Nebraska is not now, and probably will not be for some years to come, an occupation in which the free laborer will find employment. Heve and there a little work of that kind may be undertaken, similar to that which Douglas county has decided to do for the improvement of thoroughfares leading into Omaha, but owing to nat- ural drawbacks which need not be to it i8 by mno means likely that the state will very soon attempt any regular system of road building. Nobody doubts that road improvement is needed. Lt would benefit every interest in the state. The workingman would in many ways be a gainer by it. Then why not set the convicts at work on the publie roads? If they must work, and it is conceded that they mu lat their labor be so directed that it will be a benefit instead of a loss to the honest wage earner and to all other classes in the state. The details of a successful system of convict road labor need not be touched upon here. but there i3 no doubt that they can easily be worked out when it is decided to put such a plan into operation. Weo be- lieve that this would effectually dispose of all existing objections on the part of honest workingmen to the employment of convict labor, while at the same time it would give the state a substantial re- turn for the expense of maintaining its criminal class. This is one of the live questions of the day in this state and sooner or later it must be squarely met. The reform demandéd must soon come, and it is not casy td 'see how it can be accomplished upon any other lines than those here indicated. as eve and the is 18 ospe- is THE care and protection of the insane is a subject that ismew receiving atten- tion in several states. In the legislature of Illinois a bill has been introduced re- lating to the commitment and detention of insane persons which is intended to prevent the commitment of persons alleged to be insane without the most careful and thorongh investigation of the facts. There is no doubt that griev- ous wrong has oftan_been done by the confinoment of sane persons in asylums through the cfforts of those who had personal interests to serve thereby. Once confined the pre- sumption is always against the victim, who has thereafter a very slender chance of redress. In New Hampshire, sinco the burning of the asylum at Dover, by which forty poor wretehes were roasted to death in their gells, there has been a strong popular protest against the con- finement of persons in death traps under the care of men who have no sense of their responsibility and no regard for the lives of those placed in their charge. 1n both respects reform is neodod, und investigation would doubt- less show that similar abuses prevail in other states thun those named, insano IM"'IANRH AND RATLROADS, Crote Vidette: No one denies that the railroads have rights, but the logislator who considers it his first duty to sacrificn ov thing for the benefit of those corporation: not representing the people of Nebraska Holdroge Citizen: 1t is time those who are in favor of railroad rewulation get together regardloss of party lines.
