Every citizen of Nebraska who ap- proves the work of the legislature and desires the work of investigation to be car. ried to its legitimate conelusion by impeach ment procecdings should at once write to his representatives and remit whatever he can afford to pay to Hon. J. N. Gafin, speaker of the house of representatives, Lin- coln. In towns and cities contributions should be solicited by clubs. Public mee ings should also be held to express the de siro of the people for whatever measur the before it adjourns. There is no time to be lost.

THE republican party of Nebraska can never hope to regain its old time supremacy unless its representativ in the legislature courageously keep on purging the state house of corruption. THE Twenty-third session of the Ne- braska legislature has already made for itself a place on history's scroll. In years to come it will be memorable be- cause of its efforts to protect the fair name of the stat THE railroad commissioners of Mis- souri are now invested by an act of the legislature with authority to regulate express charges as well as railvoad freight rates. The law scemsto be a consistent and just one. PRACTICAL politics is receiving'more attention from the Cleveland administra- tlon than civil service reform. The president and the heads of departments have no use for men who are merely good and not politically useful. IT 1S gratifying to know that the num- ber of business failures in Nebraska thus far this year has been much smaller than in 1802 and 1891, Business is now on a conservative and solid basis in this state, and is showing steady improve ment.

Third, the honor recede from the ith legislature cannot has set out to pursue, and it is very doubtful whether it could legally revoke the action it has already taken. RESPONSIBILITY OF EMPLOYES. Judges Taft and Ricks have rendered their decisions on the issues growing out of the strike of the engineers on the Toledo, Ann Arbor & North Mich railroad. They define the vesponsibility of railway employes and the nature of the boyeott. As to the former it is held that having entered upon the performe | ance of a duty the employe cannot leave the service of the company until that duty is performed. Thus an engineer who is called to take his engine and responds to the call must remain at his post during the time nccessary to dis- charge the duty assigned to him: have a run of 100 miles the period of vice continues during the time usually consumed in making the run. The court does not deny the right of men to quit the service, but they must do so in good faith, and an engineer out on a run must complete the run before quitting. Re- ferring to the provisions of the inter- state commere law forbidding diserim- ination by any common carvier against any person or corporation in interstate commerce, it was held by the court that as corporations can only act through agents it was evident that the manda- tory provisions of the law applied with equal forco to all officers and employes of connecting roads. required by a rule of the Brotherhood of Locomot that obedience to the rule would be criminal conspiracy. Notice of appeal was given and the issues will be passed upon by the supreme court, the decisions of course being operative meanwhile If sustained by the court of last resort there will have to be a revision of the rules and regulations of associations of railway employes, for the principles enunciated in the decisions applies to all of them who have to do with the trans- portation service. These decisions and the one recently rendered by the federal court at Orleans supply a pretty compr judicial interpretation of the responsibility of lab anizations so fav as relates to interstate comn The decision at New Orleans was to the effect that general strikes, where they interfere with the freedom of commerce, are unlawful and the leaders liable to The combination of trades ingmen's Amalgamated council brought about a gener paralyzed the city’s commerce, The court took the view that the combina- tion was in violation of the anti-trust law, while the effect of its action upon the business of transportation of goods and merchandise through the of New Orleans from state to and to and from foreign tries was in restraint of commerce and therefore unlawful. It will be seen that these several decisions another, and it is obvious stand and are enfor supplement one that if they d as the law of the land labor organizations will no longer be able to make themselves felt by the means they have hitherto relied upon, It will doubtless occur to all thought- ful people that these decisions appear altogether one-sided. They do not con- sider the responsibility of employers. 1f an engineer or other employe of & rail- road company cannot leave its sc pleasure can he be the pleasure of vice at discharged an official his at uls nor their | | course which it If he | As to the boycott | » Engineers it was declared | al strike which fora time | OMAHA having the power of dismissal?

Six of the more notorious members of the ring were indicted by a Lancaster county grand jury last De- | cember for glaring frauds against the | | stato. Their trial was set for the February | term of court, andalthough two months have passed since that term opened no | effort has been made to bring the guilty men to justice. Now, at this late day in | the term. the county attorney of Lan- | caster county comes forward with the | | assertion that their trial will not pro- | | ceed until the May term of court, and not then unless anopinion can be secured from the supreme court respecting the validity of the indictment. The state- | ment will create a feeling of indigna- tion in every quarter of the state. 1 the state for These men have plunde years. They have carried on their pil- ferings under the very eyes, if not with | the consent and actual connivance of the state offleials, Theiv methods have been | so fully exposed that the people of the | state are thoroughly familiar with all | the details of the plan by which the treasury has been succossfully | looted by the conscienceless members of | one of the most notorious rings that ever fastened itself upon a state government, | Their guilt is so plainly apparent that | their conviction, if brought to | trial, is almost a foregone conclusion. | And yet these men are brazenly walk- | ing the streets of Lincoln today secure | | in the belief that they will never be punished for their crimes. They do not take the trouble to deny their guilt, but ) they confidently expect to escape their | just deserts by reason of technicalities and they have the assurance attorney elected by the | people to prosecute just such offenders i that they will not be placed on trial and | that theirliberty will not be jeopardized | until the supreme ¢ validity of an indictment which has been | called fn question only by their own at- | torneys. The opportunity is ripe for a revulsion of public sentiment in Nebraska. The contractors and embezzlers should be taught that they can no longer ply their ! nefarious vocations. State officials should learn that they cannot wink at glaring frands without being held to a rigid accountability. The time has | passed when men can be excused | and their outrageous al i conduct defended. Mawkish senti- ment about ‘“persecution,” ‘“per- | sonal and partisan maliciousness” and | “star chamber proceedings™ should cease and derelict ofliciais and guilty criminals should be made to feel the | weight of popular indignation and dis- | state ever | in the law of the coun urt passes upon the | approval. Political considerations, which only too often obscure the visions of honest men, should be brushed aside | and the people of Nebraska. irvespective | of party affiliations, should unite in in- | sisting that all guilty men should be pun- ished and that the management of the affairs of the state institutions should | be again placed on a basis of honest | methods and business integ The people do not want the legislature to adjourn before the state house has been | purged of dishonest and faithless officials. The people will cheerfully bear any taxation the legislature may impose on them if the legislature will only do its duty fearlessly and regardless of all pressure from corpo- rate influence or the corrupt lobhy. THE literary bureau of the Hawaiian annexationists has been doing its best to convince the world that the people of islands have an intense longing to nnexed somewhere, but its last out- giving has not made the impression that was hoped for. Indeed, it has generally | been regarded with distrust, only a few of the advocates of annexation to the | United States having accepted it as a | truthful statement of the situation. | When the burcau hit upon the idea of proclaiming that Japan was ready to | take the ands they dropped into the vridiculous and diselosed the sham character of all the rest of their statement.

Tts purposo is to keep the health authorities fully informed regarding the sanitary condition of every part of the city, and in order to do this it has one vigilant member of the league in each square, whose bus ness it is to report upon the condition of the square. Thus there is distrib- uted all over the city volunteer ors who supplement the inspection force of the health department and who will take quite as lively an intorest in koep- ing the city clean as the paid in- spectors. The plan is a novel one, but there is no reason why it should not prove to be entirely practicable, and therefore highly beneficial. There ave citios where theve is much greater need of such an organization than in Washing ton, which is one of the cleanest cities in the country. AFTER & prolonged and thorough in- quiry into the charges of mismanage- ment and waste preferred against Robert P. Porter, superintendent of the census, the committee of congress assigned to that work has reported that the charges are not sustained. The investigation was the result of criticism persistently made, in the first instance by persons ving personal ends to serve, and finally by many others, who knew nothing about the matter, but took the charges on trust. Thecommittee has been unable to find that the management of the cen- sus burcau has been gither indifferent or wasteful. That the work which Mr. Por- ter has done has boen one of great mag- nitude and difficulty ‘must bo apparent to every man who is acquainted with its scope.
