A CORRESPONDENT asks what rela- tion the licutenant governor sustains to the railroads of, this state. He owns them. THE mayoralty conwst in Chicago is abzorbing so much people of that cit that they ai have nearly forgotten World's fair. W venture to suggest that the rooms of the house and senate committees on engrossed and enrolled bills will bear watching. The doors should be locked and barred against the oil room sinner: WHILE the senate is wrestling with the maximum freight bill it shouldn’t lose sightof the usury bill. Tt is time for Nebraska to fall in line with Iowa and Illinois in the standard rate of in- terest. IT 18 not much of an advantage to an office secker to have been an “‘original Cieveland man.” The indications are “that originality is not appreciated by this administation. Tho men who came in late seem to be getting the best seats. NOwW THAT Senator ett has de- clared the pair with Senator Thomsen off, he is free to support house roll 33, and we confidently expect that he will stand up for Nebraska in spite of all the pressure the railroad managers may exert. THE president says that he is grateful to the democrats of [llinois because they were largely instrumental in placing him where he is. Now the democrats of Illinois get to Washington as fast as railroad accommodations can be pro- wvided for them. THE operations of cattle thieves in Colorado last year must have been ex- tensive. Under an inspection system controlled by the state there were 1,454 head of stray cattle picked up at the various markets, which returned the orado over $34,000. The legislature should not adjourn beforc #t has stamped out corruption and placed the state institutions under the car supervision of officers who do not wink at corrupt practices and have the, integrity and the backbone to stop thieves and plunderers from robbing the state and looting the treasury. and THE city of Mexico, which is suffering from a typhus epidemic, is without a sewerage sysiem, but the authorities have decided to build sewers at a cost of between $7,000,000 and $10,000,000. The Mexicans are learning the lessons of civilization. PERHAPS one reason why the principal | European nations have decided not to sond as many of their war ships to our naval review as was expected is that they donot know how soon they may ba noeded at home. There are chips on several European shoulde 1 the time. THE indications are that the man who shot the mayor of Moscow was a nihilist. The murdered man was in high favor with the czar, and this fact gives s po- litical color to the tragedy. The nihi- listic eloment in Russia has been un- usually quiet of late, but that does not prove that it has ceasod to exist. SOME cities are boiling their drinking water to kill the chol bacillus, but that is not necessary for those who use | Missouri river water, What the people of Omaha need most in this regard is a process by which the mud and sand may be filtered out of the water furnished to the patrons of the water company.

The currency problem is rezarded by the president, as he himself has said, as being first in importance among the questions with which the present ad- | ministration will have to deal. If there was no d y of views in the demo- cratic party upon this problem it might be comparatively easy to find a solution, but opinions as to what should be done radically differ, so that the indications are that it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to unite the democrats in eongress upon any poliey, whother ori- ginating in that body or with the | administration. It is evident, for in- | stance, that the senate democrats can- not be induced to unite in favor of a re peal of the silver purchase act, notwith- standing the demand of the national platform for its repeal, unless some leg- islation shall be substituted equally in the interest of silver, and there is every reason to believe that the same will bo found to be true of the demcerats in the house. Mv. Cleveland talked in his in- | angural address of concession, but | whatever he may be willing to do there is nothing to show that the representa- | tives of his party in the lative department of the ernment are dispose to con- | cede anything. The composition of the majority of the senate finance com- mittee is not a reassuring response to the president's appeal to his party re- garding its duty in dealing with the | financial situation. | It is understood that the presidentand | ceretary of the treasury are g srious consideration to the our problem and expect to veady for | introduction in t ss when upon which it is it s 4 measur hoped the party can be united. It is | said that one of the provisions of this | measure will allow state banks to issua | notes, but it is proposed to put some limi- | tation, to put the tions, on them as on th gov- | ving next con me: ni- or Jimita ne national issue ks, cula- | ain conditions, but where » eonditions are not com- plied with a tax will be imposed. The | object, it is explained, is to make the | currency uniform as nearly as possible, | : which purpose it will bs proposel to retire the greenback circulation and to give it elasticity, at the same time giv- ing the federal authority some power to regulate the circulation issued by state | banks. Undoubtedly it will ba found that a majority of the democ in the next congress are favorable to a restora- tion of state bank currency, but whether under any such restrictions as it is understood the administration measure will propose Is questionable. The democratic national platform de- | manded simply that the tax on state | bank issues be repealed, and although Mr, Cleveland has never expressed him- self on the subject he is understood to be in favor of the demand, The southern element of the demceracy will heartily support a measure to repeal, some of the ate banks can tion | that the plaintiff was entitled to recover | in other | tion, 23,191,876; persons of f legislatures in the south having already provided for the issue of currency by state banks in the event of the tax boing removed, but such a measure could not obtain the support of all the democratic representatives from the north, unless the circulation of state banks could be reguiated by federal authority, and the practicability of doing this i3 open to question. What seems to be evident is that a cardinal feature of the democratic policy regarding the currency will be a restoration of the state bank issues, aund if this be done the country will ultimately have a return to the conditions before the war, whatev restrictions may be imposed at the out- The tax heing removed the drift toward the old state of things will be steady and sur set.

A decision recently rendered by the supreme court of Tennossee shows that | a wide application may be made of the principle that any combination, whether of corporations or of individuals, for the } purpose of imposing a restraint upon | free competition, is contrary to public policy and therefore illegal. A whole- sale grocers' association in Nashville had bound its members not to purchase goods from any importer or manufac- turer who sold to re 1 me! chants. One of the retail groo brought suit against the asscciation for $25,000, claiming that his business had been injured and his profits diminished, and that he had been subjected to great inconvenience and trouble in quence of the action of the combination. The jury was charged by the trial judge that the organization was illegal and OPPOSED | | conse- ny actual damage he had suffered on ount of the diserimination complained of. This decision was sustained by the supreme court, but the opinion of the latter went further and held that if such an agreement could be found to exist and the plaintiff had suffered from it he was entitled to a iet that would wrry with it the costs of action. This may seem like carrying the anti- combination principle to an extr: but as a matter of fact it is as applicable in such a case as this as inone which in volves more weighty intorests. Similar decis bearing upon the same point in velation to combinations merely lecal in their scope have been rendered states. They are important s admonitions against the tend- o tion for the pur- straining competition. right of every man to engage in trade and to enjoy unrestricted privileges in the market is one that cannot be den and no sophistry can obscure the obvious | fact that a combination for the restraint of trade or the diminution of production s contrary to public policy in so far as it is inimiecal to the interests of competi- tors or the more important interests of ume There will be .no general applica of this principle to the hundr of minor associations throughout the coun- ver m ons try which exist solely for the purpose of | S restraining competition, but an occa- sional example like that in Tennessce will ger to remind even the smaller monopolists that it is unsafe to trench too boldly upon the rights of those who do not seek the advantages afforded by combin: n. An open field and a fair fight will be the ultimate outeome of all this agitation against combinations, The people do not want the legislature to adjourn before the state house has been purged of dishonest and faithless oficials. The people will cheerfully bear any taxation the legislature may impose on them if the Logislature will only Ao its duty fearlessly and regardless of ali pressurve from vate influence or the corrupt lobby. corpo- THE latest bulletin from department gives some interesting com- parative statements of population and shows the foreign born population us a | whole from 1850 down t» 1 including | the last census ye The toment by | om 1850 to 1800 makes the following showing: 1830—total popula- ign birth, 4,602; percentage of foreign born 1860 — total, 31,44 foreign born, 4,133,697; percentage of foreign born, 13.16; 1870 — total, 33,558, born, pereen ign boen, total, 50,153,783; foreign percentage of foreign born, 13.2: 189) total, ( percentage will be not born to little d the census | born, 14.77. 1 that the ratio of f > born has incre: tho last thr Ireland have seral contributors to our popu tion, and it 's that in 1800 no less than 50.34 pe nt of the paople in the United wera of those At tima the n who of Sc ainavian birth footed up 10.09 per or more than twics as many in pr tion to the whole papulation a3 in The increase in the immigration Nomway, Sweden anl Danmark late years beon very large and stantly growin Of the Scandinavian Americans only about 23 per cant live in cities, the masses being attracted by the advantages which agricuitural life off them, and the greater portion the west aad novthwest. ives eountries. the s were | from has of is con- IT APPEARS from port by th a pr statistician of t} Commerce ¢immission that year ending June 39, 1802, the nings on 165,000 il of 240 from passongor freight 1 llaneous liminary » Int durin tate the from from anis total of expens: net ea; soure The 407,031,616, about $43,000,000 over tk This is an enormous the net earnings of 1301, increase over | and | sion, having alv | engaged | deposed. | Blaive had :u'rui | with an extra volt or two of inspiration | their n when | allowance is made for the fa ing the lattenyear the light orops of | 1801 were bolghnoved, it is apparent that the earnings of the railroads of the country ave rapidly growing. The pres- ent year cannok fail to be one of unpre- codented prosperity for all of the lines on account of the vast business that will be caused by the World's fair. Under such conditions the railroad corpora- tions can afford to bear a resonable share of taxation and at the same time lighten the burden of frgnsportation charges to such a degree aswill encourage a lavger patronage instaad ot repelling it. IF ANYBODY questions the rightof the legislature to impeach a state officer for an offense committed during a previous term he is respectfully referred to the Consolhidated Statutes of Nebraska, see- tions 1,022 and 1,023, chapte entitled “Courts of Impeachment,” which read as follow “An impeachment of any state officor shall be tried notwithstand- ing such offic signed his office, or his term of © has expired; if the accused person be founa judgment of removal from office or disqualifying such officor from holding enjoying any office of honor, profit or trust in the state, or both, may be rendered as in other An impeachment against | any state officer shall be tried and judg- ment of removal from office or of dis- fication to hold office may be ren- 1, notwithstanding the offense for which said offic is tried occurre ing a term of office immediately preced- ing.

THE people of Nebraska would like to know what has become of Mr. Mosher, and why he has been permitted to ab- scond without being interviewed by a legislative investigating committee, It is a pertinent question whether any effort is to be made to ascertain what became of the vast sum Mosher has em- bezzled, and what part of the state’s money was used for private speculation in collusion with state officers. The people of this state will not be satisfied with the mere recovery of the embez- zled state fund from the bondsmen of the late treasurer, but they will insist that every ofticer who has been in eollusion with Mosher shall be impeached and rd Probo the Trasts? she=Demoerat, “The new attorney general knows all about trusts, but he has not indicatod that he pro- poses 1o utilizo such knowledgo in the inter- st of the victims of organizations of that kind.
