ANOTHER murder in South Omaha is now recorded and the assassin is at large. If the local police authorities succeeded in capturing all the murder- ers that are now wanted they will have to be active. THE laudable purpose for which the labor mass meeting tonight is called will doubtless insure a large attendance. Organized labor is alive to the necessity of tendering support to the legislature in the efforts being made to punish un- worthy officials and to pass laws designed solely for the relicf of the people. A vote of censure by the legislature will have nomore effect upon the Board of Public Lands and Buildings than pouring water | on a duck’s back. Turn the rascals out and place the management of our state in- stitutions into the hands of men who will a0t stand by and let the state treasury be pillaged by thicves and swindlers. ONE of our contemporaries makes the suggestion that the publication of bills audited and paid by the State Board of Public Lands and Buildings would pre- vent & good deal of corruption and job- bery. We fully agree with this view. Publicity is the most effective safeguard against recklessness, ravagance and dishonest practices public affairs. in A PROBLEM for those who are seeking the best means of dealing with children of criminal tendencies is found in the case of Denver's 11-year-old boy who has just been convicted of murd He killed & man for the possession of his watch, and had no other excuse for the deed but that ho wanted the watch, Inthe state of Now York not long since a young lad murdered his grandfather in cold biood and with the utmost deliberation, | lying in wait for him in the dark with a | pistol.

OFFICE-HUNTERS must have noticed that every day a declaration of policy in respect to the distribution of patronage emanatgs from the white house.

The first appointment made in South Dakota was in direct opposition to | Senator Kyle, the populist, who has made a bitter protest. Congressmen Kem and McKeighan have run against | the same snag.

NALISM THAT the ¢ against pr ceive a Wilt eriminal men to sce the HOULD WIN, said by a ¢ in class of tern journals and commereial anthor- ities in deprecation of the growth of a entiment in favor of government nalism in the w ing to explain the that sentiment, the stence of wk toa tain degree may be acknowledg it is interesting to note that itis festing itself in the oast quite as plal as in any other part of the country. the st of New York, for examp bill has been introduced in the legis- lature to give the state authority to own and operate the grain elevators at Buffalo. - This measure is approved by men who deny that they favor the general principle of paternalism, but who declare that this is an exceptional case because the elevator monopoly is 50 outrageous as to be no longer tolera- ble. Passing by this inconsistency asan ex- cusable one, it is worth while to look at the merits of the particular case re- ferred to, as it directly concerns the grain producing states of the west. In 1888, after struggling with the grain elevator combines for eighteen year: the New York legislature enacted a law to fix a maximum charge for elevating grain at New York and Buffalo. In New York and Brooklyn the rate for elevating and trimming grain was re- duced $3.25 on every 100,000 ed by canal, while in Buffalo, in i of the law, the rate was in- ased 31 on each 100,000 bushels. The law been invoked for the pro- teetion of shippers from this extortion and decisions fagainst the elevator mo- nopolists have been rendered by the courts, but for soms reason not clearly explained the robbery has not baen stopped. The elevator men and the railroad companies ha stood to- gether ina prolonged and determined war upon the canal. Towhat extent the diseriminations have been carried does not appear, but a eorcespondent of an eastorn commercial journal shows that | the elevator charges for transferrin grain to canal boats have been out- rageously extortionate. The expense of transferring 109,000 bushels of grain, | and the profits made by the elevators, are given as follows: Roceiptsfor elevating and uso of steam shovel, nat including | ceipts for blowing, stowing, | ser $1,07 with auses unde bushels re- sale of for \onings, expenses labor and fuel, $18.50 thrown | in for sundries, of int | net profit for only ei s | work, $1,012.50, At this exclusive st rate all grain canal must pay 1 cent a bushel for the cost of handling by the Buffalo elevator monopolists. What the difference is be tween the rates for the canal and for the | railroads we do not know, bat it is well | known that whatever the diserimination may be the canal is the cheaper route. The paternalism by which ft is pro- posed to do away with this system of | plunder is entively commendable. Every | mun interested in the transportation of | grain will bs glad t the state of | Now York take the elevator basiness | into its own hands and protect the pub- lic from such extortion in the future. elovator ring has immense power in the legislature and the enact- ment of such a law can only result from nd so strong that no representa- tive of the people will dave to resist it REPORTS from Berlin ¢oncerning the physical collapse of Prince Bismarck, if not greatly exaggerated, show that the | the ex-chancellor's enemies, but wh | and has all his life sus | end of | My | nected | £ that the « | it | in | provided that the | whether contingent or other: | on old statesman can never again becomo - THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: o [ITHURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1893, an important factor in German politie There is & possibility that these reports may bo eolored to serve some purpose of it \d that ho is 78 years of age ained burdens of toil that would have constitution long that the is remembo responsibility and broken an ordinar ago, it seoms prc his remarkable et ble enough tant. THE R SIAN TRADITION TREATY The people of the United States owe no consideration to the Russian govern- | ment which should induece them to cord to it any special ¢oncessions. Ther has been nothing in the past relations Dbetween that despotic power and this re publie which calls upon this government to make the slightest departure from its aditional policy in making an extrad n treaty with Russia. Several years under the first administration of Cleveland, such a treaty was negotiated, and this was ratified by the senate at its last ular session after being amended. It contains a clause which, in the judgment of a great many American citizens whoso opinion is entitled to most tful consideration, would practically desteoy the right of asylum in this country for any subject of Russia against whom the Russian government might bring the charge of having made any attempt upon the life of the ezar or any member of his family. Tt vided that when such attempt comprises the act either of murder or of assassina- tion or of poisoning it shall not be con- sidered a political offense, or an act ¢on- with such an offense. Sec- retary Gresham has been quoted as saying that this article is to be taken literally: that no person is to be ex- tradited to Russia under it until proved to the satisfaction of our cour ime charged has been actually committed, and next that the accused person divectly participated in But even if the scope of this pro- vision should not be allowed to go beyond these ow limits there would till be the danger under it of our courts being constantly harassed by the com- plaints of Russian agents seeking victims, and the American people do not wish their country to beeome a hunting ground for these minions of a mereiless and un- serupulous despotism. Russia cannot be trusted for a moment in a matter of this kind. countries do not apply to he th re to no purpose to cite tradition edent. It appears that the provision referred to is not the only objectionable feature of the Russian treaty, which is cha terized by senators as being erude as a whole, and it is evident that if it be still practicable todo so it ought to recei thorough revision. It seems ext dinary that a treaty of such import- ance that has been long under consideration should have so much in it that is objectionable, but the explana- tion is to ba found in the statement that as these matters are conducted und: the veil of ey, senators do not give that close and caveful attention to which they bestow upon ave publicly considered. usually satisfied to of a committes and inquiry.

The legistature it has THE majority and minority reports upon the appointment of a United States senator by the governor of a state, in case the legislature,vefuses or fails to elect, are both strong from their respec- tive standpoints, but the weightier argument seems to bo with the majority, whose construction of the provision of the constitution regarding senators is manifestly grounded on common sense. It is a sound proposition that the con- stitutional purpose is that shall be at all times the semate by two and in order that this should be 3o it was xeeutive should ap- point when the legislature failed to elect It makes no difference what the cause of a vacancy may be, if it exist when the legislature of a state not sitting, vise, as the ort of the majority says, the execu- tive may appoint. It is true, as claimed by the minovity, that the senate cannot compel a legislature to eleet nor a gov- ernor to appoint. A state must de- termine for itself whether it will be vesented, and whether the rep- rvesentation shall bs only in part or as the comstitution provides, but this has nothing to do with the question of depriving a state of senatos sentation, as provided in the eonstitu- tion, whether it bs by ion by tho legislatu or executive appointmoant, The majority of the sonate committe privileges and elections hold that when the state has chosen a senator, either by the legislature or ths gov. ernor, it has complied with the ¢onstitu- tional requiremant, and such senator is entitled toba seated.

Tae Railway Age has compiled a table of all the railroads now under construc- tion, under contract, surveyed or under survey, and in some cases only incorpor- | ated or projected, but which seem likely to be built. The table shows a total of 425 roads with lines under construction or prospeetive 5 mile Texas comes fivst in order of extent with 2,159 miles and Nevada last with only four miles, though Delaware came n being at the foot of the list, as she only five miles in prospeet.

CONTRARY to all previous announce- ments Mv. S. H. H. Clark has heen re elected president of the Union Pacific railway, and his acceptance will make it necessary for him to vesign the pres dency of the Missouri Pacific, to which position he was called only a few days ago. 1t must be gratifying for any man to have two of the greatest railways in America compete for his services, It is the highest tribute that can be paid tothe | ability of a railroad manager. Mr. Clark | doubtless appreciates the compliment, but his gratification cannot be kecner than that of the hundreds of subordin- ate ofticials of the Union Pacific whose | tenures depended largely upon the out- come of the directors’ meeting in New York. THE hope that the settlement of the cotton mill strikes in England would re- sult in a greatly increased demand for American cotton is said by good authori ties to have but slight justification. A great part of the decrease in English consumption has beer made up by inereased production by the mills on the continent, so that the consumption of American cotton will not be materially changed by the renewal of activity | among the English manufacturers.
