He husetts legislature NOR RUSS) lists in the crusade ¢ reminds the Masss of the urgent need of more restrictions upon the stock and bond- issuing privileges of such corporations. Disclosures in connection with the Boston gas ring investigation were the incentive for the governor's admonition. THE newly reappointed Union Pacific railroad director, County Commissioner Paddock, is cavorting around the de- partments at Washington. In aue time he will condescend to return to the place in which he is supposed to be doing Dbusiness for the county and draw his salary for April, if he has not already drawn it in advance, as he did his pay for the two weeks prior to his resuming the functions of commissioner in his present term. When it comes to draw- ing his salary Major Paddock never fails to put in an appearance with promptness and dispatch. THE county road pavement should be of durable material. Limestone maca- dam will not do. That was shown con- clusively on Farnam street at an expense of $24,000 to the property owners, and three years discomfort to everybody who rode up and down that thoroughfare during the macadam period. Wooden blocks are not to be thought of and a brick roadway would be a doubtful ex- periment unless laid upon a bed of con- crete at least six inches deep. The only tangible paving material for our coun- try roads are stone blocks. In making selections it becomes a question whether the cheapest stone is the most economic in the long run. Colorado sandstone blocks are a trifle cheaper than granite, but they will not stand the wear and tear half as well as Sioux Falls granite. Colorado stone will wear down in less than ten years and have to be turned and relaid. Sioux Falls granite will be as good 100 years hence as when laid. Tak public will watch with interest the inauguration of what promises to be the greatest railroad freight war ever waged on the Pacific coast. The rates which the Southern Pacific proposes to at once put in operation on such com- modities as scoured wool, wine, borax and rags and like freights are said to be in several instances not more than half the regular rates, and, according to the view expressed in a San IFrancisco tele- gram, they ave so low that neither by rail nor steamer can freights be moved with any profit to the transportation companics. The scheme of the Southern Pacific Railroad company in making this onslaught is to break down the com- petition of the new North American Navigation company. t this date the steamship company has only third-rate pteamers charctered and it is stated has no accommodations for a large business. But the new transportation company may have resources and facilitics behind it which the Southern Pacific does not suspect and it may be able to carry freight at a loss as long as the railroad cares to compete. At any rate the shippers of the western coast will have the benefit of the competition as long as it lasts. RECENTLY published statistics show- ing the increase of trade with countries that have reciprocity arrangements with the United States conclusively show that the policy has up to this time been anything but a sham. As one item it may be stated that during a year and a ball of reciprocity with Cuba and Porto Rieo our trade with those islands inereased to the extent of over $18,000,000, more than three fourths of this amount being in exports, Nearly all the flour now consumed in those islands is Ameri- can, whereas before reciprocity this country sent very little there, and there has been a generous growth in the exports of othor articles which are es- pecially fuvored by the arrangement. The total increase in our trade, due largely or wholly to reciprocity, is esti- mated to be not far from $100,000,000; but, allowing it to be half that amount, the policy has been of great value to our ‘agricultural producers and manufac- turers, much more to the former than the latter. Nevertheless, it seems to be the settled determination of the party in power to attack this policy, and it will not be surprising if within the next two years some of the more important reciprocity agreements are abandoned. ! with con | for | insults | morality. honesty und overy quahfication that | from returned | stringent | | ixcors ann rim rentae erLoNDER LR, The atmosphere of Lincoln has been tainted raption and venslity for so many yoars that any attempt %o purgo and cloan up state institutions {s sure to be ascribe hy the organs of the nowers that be us per. nlapito work o politienh malice and ee ve OMana Bk When Pilot Rosewat very uir of Lincoln is pert vuption” he invites a slap from every self specting eitizen of Lincoln and every N braskan who is proud of the state and its capital city lares that the ted with cor Tie Ovana Ber, i ialism and its orts pital through indiotment of st harges in this tunity and on nam abused and maligned [ and hela it up to public view as a city peopled with individuals who ure thieves and robbers, public and private plunderers and who live, move ana have their being in an atmosphere fetid with corruption and dis- lonesty.

Our insulted and indignant contemporaries evidently en- tortain & very low esiimute of the morals of the people of Nebraska and the patrons of our state educational in- stitutions. Fortunately for the reputa- of Lincoln and the state, editors who take exceptions to the course of THE BEE speak for only a very small fraction of.the people at the state capital.

The Dakotas are prohibition states, and while there is some revenue derived from government licenses to sell liquor in those states, it is small in comparison | with what is paid into the national treasury by the brewers, distillers and liquor dealers of Nebraska. There is a candidate for collector of internal revenue in this district from North Dakota and it is intimated that he has some strength at Washington by reason of having been a very Clevelund man. The appoint- of a collector hould be made upon business principles and not altogether as a reward of par- tisanship. The president has declared that thisis to bo a business administra- tion, and if he was sincere in this he should be governed in this matter by the practical consideration that inasmuch as Nebraska furnishes by far the larger part of the revenue of the district its collection should be entrusted to a cit- izen of this state. He will have no diffi- culty in finding here a capable man for this office who at the same time will answer every political requirement. There ought to be a very carnest pro- test made by Nobraskans who are in a position to have some influence with the administration against the ap- pointment of a collector of internal revenue outside of this state, with the possibility of removing the collection headquarters from Nebraska and sub- jecting the interests here which pay revenue to the inconvenience and ex- pense of going elsewhere. Tt is an obviously just proposition that those who contribute most largely to the support of the government should have the pre- ference in all respects. But even if the appointment of a North Dakota man should not result in transferring the headquarters it would still be an injus- tice to Nebraska. The only interest THE BEE has in this matter is a desire to see this state fairly treated. Every practical and business consideration demands that a Nebraska man be selected for collector and ever) other consideration should give way to this. zealous ment THE Denver Republican lays down some very plain truths, which may prove wholesome if not palatable to those of her citizens who have been satisfied with what may be called ‘‘relative praise” as to her advanced position as a city. Exactly the same truths are equally applicable to several other west- ern cities which lay claim to metro- politan greatness, and their recognition would prove none the less beneficial. When Denver's claims to be consid- ered metropolitan ave examined, frankly says that journal, “it at once becomes apparent that it is still in the relative stage. It would be difficult if not impos- sible to find anything in which Denver excels any other city in the United States. It cannot claim to be metro- politun until its streets are all paved and its parks improved up to the metro- politan standard. In respect of art Den- ver can make noclaimatall, There is not a singlo statue or monument in the whole city. Its public libravies ave far below what the libravies of a city of its size onght to be—to say nothing of com- paring them with similar institutions in large cities. There is not a single street which, considered as a driveway, really creditable.” It is in this causti is setting out of her shortcomings that the | Republican illustrates what is necessary to be accomplished before just claims can be made for motropolitan considera- tion. The admonition of encouragement is also added that although as a rule metropolitan characteristics come with age and growth in population, “a city can advance very far toward the metro- politan class without waiting to acquire a population of 500,000, THE promoters of the proposed Hud- son river and Ohio ship canal eomnec tion ave displaying renewed energy in the enterprise, and are earnestly setting forth the great advantages that would acerue to the Ohio valley in general and to the Iron city in pariicular from its completion. They talk of the ability of Pittsburg, when thus conneetod Lake Erie, to build ‘'ships for the na- tion, if not for the world.™” and the possi- bility of doveloping a grain shipping trade in competition with Buffalo.

The health anthorities of the larger citics would undoubtedly forbid the sale of fruit, or establish such stringent regu- lations to insure the presence of nothing but the most perfect and fresh fruit in the markets that they would about con- stitute a boycott. As a caution to the fruit growers of California, whose prospects for abundant yields are so bright this season, they are advised that the “only way to win the confidence of the health icers is for California to ship no premature fruit and nothir but the healthiest of their products.” At the time confession made that for some seasons past proper care has not been exercised in the selection of fruit and the state suffered by it. That other than a moral reason oxists why only perfect fruit should be shipped this season gives some assurance that the east will hercafter get better fruit from the Pacific coast than it has some- times received. Sa is THE Tacoma, Wash., Ledger divects attention to a matter of special interest to builders und lumbermen. It says that the new freight rates made at the begin- ning of this year permit nearly all the higher grades of the lumber of that re- gion to compete successfully with the pineries of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan as well as the products of vhe south in a very large part of the eastern nd middle states. The shingle indus- try, which was practically dead a year ago, has taken a new lease of life: all the old mills are being run at full capac- ity and new ones arve building, while there is an inerensing demand for the better grades of building lumber, long timbers and even for fencing and spruce lumber. One mill in Tacoma is now selling lumber in twenty-seven of the forty-four states. This new activity is already attracting tho attention of east- ern mill men in that direction. aw requiring the deportation of Chinamen who shall have failed to register before May is not to be put nto effect at that time, the Department of Justice having ‘decided to await the decision of the supseme court as to the constitutionality of the law. It has al- ready been arranged to make up a case for the federal eourts and it will be pushed as rapidly ak practicable, so that probably within ‘a_few weeks from the date at which the law should go into effect the questionias te its constitution- ality will be determined. This action is manifestly wise,' because if the law is unconstitutional it' is desirable that the nment be saved the expense of carrying it out, which would be very considerable, while we shall also avoid any upleasantness with the Chinese gov- ernment, which has shown a more re sentful mood than it did regarding any previous legislation unfriendly to its people. gove O THE California legislature enacted a very stringent law to secure the purity of elections. We referred some time ago to the corrupt practices act of Mis- souri, which goes much farther than those of New York, Massachusetts and other states that had adopted this legis- lation, and the California law is equally drastic if not a little more so. Perhaps no state had greater need of legis lation of this kind than Cali- fornia, which has long had a most unenviable record for the corrupt char- acter of its elections, and it is creditable to the democrats of that state, who cor- trolled the legislature, that they pre- vided what will doubtless prove a pretty thorough remedy for the long-prevail- ing evil. Eight or nine states now have laws to prevent corrupt practices in elections and there is reason to believe that they will be general within the next ten years. Ain's Dolng a Thiog.

They are not to blame for this beastly weather, though we expected to sell more of them—the suits--than we did. Its a very nice collection we're showing now. If rains this May like it did a year ago you will want to invest in one of our mackintoshes, that looks like a light weight over- coat. Umbrellas are not so much the style now since these new mackintoshes have come to be the rage. We have them plain dark and light colors and in stripes and plaids. We can fit anybody and when we've fitted you to one you'll take itand like it, too. BROWNING, KING & CO. S, W.
