JUSTICE BREWER said at a meeting of the Congregational club that it is an justice for congress to discriminate against the Chinese. There can be no question of the soundness of this propo- sition, yet Washington is a long way from San Francisco, where the high- binder binds. No LESS than twenty-five manufactur- ing concerns of Lincoln will make ex- hibits at the coming exposition in this ecity. Reports from all parts of the state indicate the same lively interest and tho prospect now is that the second exposi- tion will be many times more extensive than the first. SAMUEL W, ALLERTON, the non- partisan citizens candidate for mayor of Chicago, has in forcible terms forbid the use of money collected of city hall employes to aid in his election and has directed that the money be refunded. This may be a grand stand play, but it is none the less commendable THE Kansas City making plans for Commercial club is ‘another swing around the circle of Kansas towns,” as the Times calls it. Those Kansas City busi- ness men are pretty well organized and they don't propose to let anything in the way of trade get away if they can help it. How is it with Omaha? THE complaint is made that one or two jobbing houses in Omaha, which depend largely upon tneir Nebraska trade, ar abiding by the home patronage prin- ciple to which the merchants, manufac- turers and consumers of the state are now so generally committed, but are | importing goods that can be purchased in Nebraska as well as elsowhere. *h cases are rare, however, and it is hoped that it will not be long before they can- not be found at all. SECRETARY MORTON recently in- formed Governor Boyd that he would have nothing to do with dispensing fed- eral patronage in this state—that he in- tended to confine himself strictly to the business of his big sced dispensary, But now THE Ber's Washington dispatches indicate that Mr, Morton is seekine to Qdictate every appointment and his per- nicious activity has greatly disturbed Senator Allen and Congressman Bryan, Heve is the field of a lively three-cor- nored fight.

The bill as it now stands before the senate is from 10 to 30 per cent higher than the maximum rates now in in the state of Towa. A Can any honest republican stand up for the extortionate local rates to which Nebraska has been subjected for twenty | ? Why should not these rates be materially reducea by the logislature | in view - of the fact that the railroad managers have had control of the state railroad commission ever since it was created? Do the republicans of the state senate represent the railroads, or do they represent the people? Do they imagine that they can explain away to the people their refusal to give prompt and faiv consideration to the bills prepared and enacted by the popular house of the legislature? 1f they find anything inthe bill that would work injustice to the railroads, why don't they point it out and make an effort to climinate it? Remember that there is a hereafter, when the republican pavty will be lled to account. Why should the senate be the slaughter house of all railroad regulation and all reforms of every nature which have been promised to the people? What possible chance is there for ever electing another repub- lican to the state senate two years hence, if the vepublican members of the senate repudiate the obligations which the party has assumed for them and they and their party? A5t (e republican force ES AND PRIV- The transportation bureau of Kansas City has set on foot a movement to se- cure passenger rates for that point in proportion to the rates made for the World's fair in Chicago, and has asked the railroads and the traffic association to favor Kansas City with the sams privil- eges necorded to Chic o rago und the western ies. A proportional rate into Kansas City from the west is also a , or av least a stop-over privilege so tha sengers can stop there either going or coming. It is argued that St. Louis has been aceorded equal privileges, and that while the roads are ready to make rates between Kansas City and Chicago in both directions nothing has been done in the way of favoring the former with through rates from the seaboard or firom the west. The same subject has. been more or less discussed in Omaha, and this paper has repeatedly urged that steps be taken to secure some recognition for this city in respect to over privileges, il nothing Judging by what is known methods of railroad rate prospect of securing thy h rates from the seaboard from the west seems rather remote, both for Kansas City and for Omaha; but the stop-over privilege ought to be granted without hesi stop- more. of the makers, the | | 1f the accommodation of its patrons is a matter of any concern whatever railroad company it should need no ar- gument to that this concession would be only just and fair.

This consideration ought to have some forco with any eorporation that looks into the future at all. The efforts of Kansas City to secure concessions are much more likely to sue- | ceed than those of Omaha unless our business men put forth some orgs and systematic endaeavor to influe policy of the railroad compani respect. It must be confessed that we are at present poorly prepared to do this. Our men of affairs are so deeply devoted to affairs strictly personal to themselves that it is difficult to unite them upon any project for the advan- tage of the community in general. But there are some hopeful signs of a change in this respect. The new Commercial club, designed to embrace every logiti- mate commercial and professional in- terest in the city, gives promise of becom- ing an effective instrumentality for the advancement of every undertaking that concerns the welfare of Omaha. Other cities have achieved much through such organizations, They bring diverse in- terests into touch with one another and unite msn upon comm ound in behalf of a ¢ mmon p: Bat if the rate concessions and privileges asked of the railroads by Kansas City ave to be reured for Omaha it will be promptly.

A third order re- quired the chief officers of the Brother- hood of Locomotive Engineers to mak known to the members of the association involved that the rule or regulation r quiring them to refuse to handle cavs of the Toledo, Ann Arbor & North Michi- gan Railroad company is not in force or effect against said company. March 27 was sot as the date for the hearing of the issues. It will be sesn that this judicial action takes a wide scope, and the fecling of the court may be inferred from some of the more striking ro- marks of Judge Ricks in addres- sing eight engineers and firemen who were arraigned before the court for contempt in. refusing t> oboy its orde! The judge said: “You arv engaged in a service of a public char- acter, and the public are interested, not only in the way in which you per- form your duties while you continue in that servico, but are quite as much in- terested in the time and circumstances under which you quit that employment. You cannot always your time and place for terminating these relations. 1f you were permitted to do you might quit your work at a time and place and under circum- stancos which would involve irrepar- able damage to your employers and jeopardize the lives of the traveling public.” The court said it did not as- sume the power to compel the men to continue in the service of their employer against their will, but it did undertake to compel them to perform their whole duty while such relations continue, and it also claimed the right, for the pur- pose of ascertaining whether its ordyrs had been violated, to determine whan the relations of the men to their em- ployer legally terminated and when their obligations to observe the order of the court It is obvious that the determination of the is- sues involved will have a very important bearing upon the future of | the and firemen, and indeed upon all orga zations of railway employes. choose own 80 ceased. associations of railway engineers | Something | | and a naval force, and itis ve | now | sought thé mwan. important will bo gained if the final ju- dicial decision these may hav supreme court shall fully and glearly define the obliga- tions to the publigyt both the railway eorporations and fheir employes in con- nection with theso controversies.
