[t will soon be doomed everywhere. The legislature should not adjourn before it has stamped out corvuption and placed the state institutions wnder the care and supervision of officers who do not wink at | corrupt proctices and have the integrity and the backbone to stop thicves and plunde from robbing the state and looting the treaswry. REVOLUTIONARY plots and counter plots continue to be reported from the Spanish Amevican republics. The peo- ple down in that part of the world would be miserable if an era of per- manent peace should dawn upon them. They are not ready for anything so tame and uninteresting as that. THERE will bea story of suffering from the Cherokee stiip before long. Thousands are still flocking toward the border and it is reported that many are already ncarly out of means of subsist- ence, while the time of the opening is still uncertain. Many of these people will soon regret their haste. The people do not want the legislature to adjourn before the state house has been purged of dishonest and. fuaithless officials. The people will checrfully bear any tazation the legislature may impose on them if the Tegislature will only do its duty fearlessly and regardless of all pressure from corpo- vate influence or the corrupt lobby. THE statements of steamship agents that ocean racing has been stopped are discredited by the information that dur- ing the recent race between the Paris and the Teutonic oil was burned in the furnaces to increase the speed. Such contests, by which many human lives are endangered, ought to be stopped by law. WHEN llm South Omaha recount is finished a sight draft of %150 will be made on Mr. Hitchcock, payable to the First Congregational church. The bal- ance of Mr. Hitcheock's forfeit on his South Omaha banter will run up to about $100 and will be made payable on demand to the Young Working Woman’s home. THE republicans in the legislature | should remember that it will be much | easier to straighten the party record now by deposing dishonest state officials than it will be next fall and a year from | next fall when the whole state ticket, six congressmen and one United States senator, will be the stakes,and the state house scandals will be one of the main issues. ALLEN, Humphrey and Hastings have nothing at stake politically in the future. Republicans who aspire to be their successors and every republican who expects to be a candidate for any office this year or next year is vitally concorned in the outcome of the effort now being made by the legislature to purge the party and replace faithless and disgraced oMicials by men of integ- rity who enjoy public confidence. THERE are now indications that Nor- way will presently have another cabinet crisis similar to that of last year, the legislature having passed a measure which practically asserts the right of the people of that country to home rule. A strong popular tendency toward an sion of the rights of the people has long been growing in Norway, but the | movement has not yet passed beyond the preliminary stage. slowly in Europe Such reforms come FOR once in its lifetime nmnmnhn Fake-Mill displayed vare discrimination in treating its weary readers with tersely told historic truths, stolen bodily from the columns of Tur Ber.

A REJOINDENR FOR ALLEN & CO, The honorable John €. Allen, score- tary of state, ventures into print through the bastard democratic sheet published in this city to arraign me for daring to stand up for Nebraska and denouncin the state board of which he is a membe for its eriminal negligence and out- rageous betrayal of trust. Mr. Allen desires me to explain the change which has come over the spirit of my dreams and seeks to impugn the sincerity of my course in connection with the state house scandals, To bolster up his own inde- his associ- ing him and the state board during the campaign and quotes two editorials from THE BEE, one dated October 15, 1802, and the last October 30, just three day before the election. In both of these articles TiE BEE takes the ground that the charges brought by Mr. Rew were trumped up as demoeratic campaign ammunition for the purpose of damaging the republican state ticket, Taking it for granted that Mr speaks for the men whose imyp is pending, it comes with ¢ odly bad wee for men who were dead weights on arty by reason of inefficiency and ‘viency to railroads as members of » State Boa! of taunt me for giving them active support for re-election. ‘This was the most uncon- task I ever had to perform.

At the time [ defended th board no charge had been substantiated and the cell-house frauds had not even been discovered. As an editor T have always considered myself and always snall consider myself in duty bound to denounce corruption and help to depose and punish di honest officers, high or low. [ shield neither personal friends or p asso- tes when they violate law or commit s dangerous to the well being of the community. man can swerve me from discharging what I believe to be my sacred duty by offers of boodle, prom- ises of reward or threats of punishment. I am neither afraid of a boycott, a bully bullet. But suppose T had really changedYront on the culpability of Allen, Humphrey, Hastings and Hill in connection with frauds committed against the state. Is it my duty as national committeeman or editor of a vepublican paper to pervert the truth or garble the facts and pl into the hands of officials who hav shown no regard for their oath of office and allowed the state to be robbed when it was within their power to prevent it? Why should Mr. Allen feel aggrieved at my course in the face of the revela- tions made before the grand jury and legislative committees? Wasn't Dorgan indicted by the Lancaster county grand jur nd didn't Mr. Allen is o or have a very narrow escape himself from | being indicted by the same grand ju Now if Dorgan ig indictable for felonies in the cell-house deal cvery member of the state board is indictable and im- peachable. In the first place th miembers know Dorgan as the superin- tendent of Mosher at the penitentiary "hey made Dorgan the state's inspe and paymaster for building the house. He was nota cor tor, but agent of the board. When Dorgan charged up double prices for material and labor he committed an indictable felony, and when the board endovsed his fraudulent vouchers, on which they had advanced him $5,000 at a time before a stroke of work was done, they became eqlally liable with Dorgan to indictment and incidentally to impeach- ment by legislature. When Dorgan charged up for labor not done and they signed the vouchers they were guilty of eriminal negligeuce or collusion. When Allen and his associates appropriated #3500 of cell-house money for a junket they laid themselves liable tothe charge of embezzlement, punishable both by imi courts and impeachment. It will not do to plead the baby act on the pretense that the board had no time to look into Dorgan's methods. ; had time to go down to Te. new town and start up a T company at Lincoln. They had time to visit Chicago, St. Louis and Washing- ton. They had time for numerous diver- sions, but they had no time to find out that Dorgan was only building one new wall and using old walls on three sides of the cell house, and they had not time enough to ovder Mosher to build the eighty cells which under the Stout con- »“had obligated himself to con- struct at his own expense. But the penitentiary jobbery and rob- bery was only one of a dozen sink holes of iniquity and rascality. The Burling- ton Beach land grab, the Saline land steal, the Lincoln sewer job and a dozen other schemes of robbery and plunder have been perpetrated under tho very noses of the board, not mentioning the speculative sehemes with state money in Mosher's coparcenerships, which sooner later are sure to come to light to scandalize some if not all the members, Alle to be or Humphrey and Hastings claim good republicans, The least they can do toward repairving the terrible in- jury they have done the party and sa it from disgraceful annihilation tl ly step down, instead of asking republicans in the legislature to stult themselves by voting against the impeachment resolu- tions now pending in the house. . ROSEWATER. RURAL ELECTRIC ROADS. The progress of electrie road building in some of the states of the east is rapid, and this movement is certain to extend t all states in which rural com- not widely separated. A corporation with a capital of $15,000,000 has been formed to cover the neighborhood of Newark with electric lepartment of ent in othe road 18!

An important fact connected with this development is the eompetition of the roads with steam railroads for local travel. The Massachusetts report says that froma local road furnishing an city or town travel, or a means of transit between communi m of proximity are one in business and social relations and 'sts, the eloc py i alr ¥ tching out into the trunk line, con necting remote centers of business and population, Tt no longer the successor of the omnibus line as the | railrond was of the turnpike and stage line, but it is even now sssuming | the functions and dividing the traffic of “If this is to ba its the railroad itsell. province,” says the report, “it is quite cortain that soonor or later the demand will come for the privilege of conveying merehandise as well as porsons, and for aspeed approaching that of the steam ca The managers of the steam is The manifestod its that confronts them. road has recently position to all new electric which should parallel its tr The competition of the electric compelled the at Northern railway withdraw its local trains between Minneapolis and St. Paul. As the development of the electric voad goes on, connccting towns and villages in such thickly settled states as New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and TIllinois, and competing both in passenger and mer- chandise traffic, we may expect to sec the question, alveady suggested, earn- estly discussed whether it just to grant the free use of public high- ways to electric roads competing direotly with steam lways which have purchased their right of way. This will hardly bs a serious obstacle, however, to the construction of rural electric roads where there is a demand for them, because the companies projecting such roads will be willing to pay liberally for the franchise. A very interesting possibility involved in this development of electric roads is the great social and material changes that m: vesult. It may correct in lar degree the tendency of | population to eoncentrate within small municipal areas, while in bringing the smaller communities into more intimate intercourse with the larger ones both would be benef he effect uporethe farmers and villag mentally and so- cially,” says the New York Erening Post, “will be very great. It has heretofore been the case that a village off the line of a steara railway eould not prosper. But with the advent of the electric motor and cheap rural line it will be possible for such a village to thrive, for it can then be connected directly with some center of industry. The trolley thus will be the means of opening up to further settlement parts of our country now decaying or dead.” Manifestly there is much to be expected, in both social and business benefits, from the general development of rural electric | roads. op- lines 1GNORING CONGRE. The determination of Pr land to conduct his strietly according to h duty and expedien: newest phase of his policy regarding ap- pointments is the boldest thus far an- nounced and it involves, moreover, a distinet innovation. It is reported that | he has decided to appoint marshals, dis- trict attorneys and other officials with- out reference to congressional recom- mendations, but upon the advice of demo- cratic state officers and other membe of his party personally well known to the president himself. Such a recognition of state officers is quite without prece- dent. for while presidents have of course given respectful consideration to recommendations coming from state officers of their party, nop resident, not even Andrew Johnson, went as far as it is said Me. Cleveland proposes to 20 in recognizing them. It is thereforo a radical departure from the political usage since the foundation of the gov- ernment which the president has deter- mined on, and the effeet will be watched with a great deal of interest. It may be, as has been suggested, that a better class of officials generally will be secured under the proposed plan, and it will relicve congressmen of the annoyance of place hunte which thoey are stantly complaining a source of great trouble and loss of time to them, but that congressmen generally wiil complacently assent to the proposal to ignore them in this way not to be expected. There is prob- ably not a democratic member of the Pifty-third congeess who is not under promise to scores of his constituents to secure them places under the ment, and it is said that the democrat congressional delegations of some of the states have united upon slates for sub- mission to the president. They will have a sufficient excuse for not carrying out their promises if the president ad- heres to the plan he is said to have de- termined on, but to passively assent to be thus placed in a position of inferior- far influence at Wash- ington is ned, to state officers, would impair the political strength of many of them, and undoubtedly all who have reason to apprehend such an effect will resent the president’s plan. How this may be done is suggested by the statement that there is talk of an ovganized attempt in the senate to pre vent the confirmation of officials of the Department of Justice and of the con- sular service who may be appointed without eongressional ommendation. But whether radical a means as | this of rebuking the president bo | adopted or not, there are other ways in which the democrats in congress may make the president understand their dis- pleasure. The apparent indifference which Mr, Cleveland is showing to the good will of the representatives of his in congress, and in which he is | befhg emulated by the members of his | cabinot, it would seem must inevitably vesult in such a b: etween the leg- islative and executive nches of the government Il prevent an agr ment upon any poli It is already ap- parent that the administration cannot have the support of a majority of the democrats in the senate for its financial policy as now understood, aud there is M dent Cleve- administration own ideas of manifest.

TREASURY CONDITION IMPROVED. The national treasury is again ac- cumulating gold. There was no demand last Saturday for export and there was added to the government's reserve of free gold $900,000, besides which the governmont accepted an of of $1,000,- 000 in exchange for small legal tender notes. The treasury officials estimato that by the close of next week the free gold in the treasury will amount to be- tween $6,000,000 and $7,000,000. In view of this improved condition the question of issuing bonds in order to fortify the gold reserve is in abeyance, and of courge nothing will be done looking to a of bonds so long as the treasury continues able to meet the demands upon it. At this period of the year the inflow of gold to the treasury may be expected to increase, and if th is realized there is reason to believe that the government will encounter no more from a scarcity of gold before midsummer. Of courso it is impossible to anticipate what the European demand may be, but in view of the fact that all the government banks of Europe are now carrying a heavy reserve of gold, aggregating over $1,500,000,000, and that there in addition a large amount in other banks, it asonable to assume that the demand will not be 50 lavge as iv has been for the past year, and it may practically cease for a time. What we cannot look for is any conside able return of the precious metal, be- canse it is evidently the determination of foreign governments to hold what they have got, even if they shall not continue to add to it. An interesting phase of the experi- ence of the treasury in this matter has been the assistance afforded by the banks in various parts of the country, and it is but simple justice to these institu- tions tosay that in this particular they sale seems 1¢ | haveshown a most commendable desive to maintain the eredit of the goverment. Un- questionably but for the prompt and suf- ficient help given the treasury by the banks either recourse to the issue of bonds would have bden imperafive ov it would have been gegessary to invade the gold reserve neld Tor the redemption of legal tender notes, ' The banks chould receive the credit for this action which its patriotic purpese merits, for it was hardly less vital that the government should vreceive . this aid in the exigency just passed through than it was thirty ' years ago when the banks vesponded to the urgent of | Secretar Chase for to the government. Such a manifestation of solicifude on the part of the moneyed institutions of the to maintain the-credit of tho government is reassuring and ought to exert a wholesome influence upon busi- ness confiden With the treasury in a more satisfac- tory condition so far as the supply of free gold is concerned and the prospect favor- able for a continued improvement, the apprehension that was caused by the steady deeline in the gold r ve ought to disappear and a general vestoration of confidence ensue.
