Average Cir ulullun’ ;1|r March, 1893, 24,179 —_— Tue impeachment trial at Tancoln will be the center of attraction in this state for a few weeks at least. DIRECT trains on an air line between Yankton and Omaha would be of great value to this city. This observation was made ten years ago, but still holds good. THE bloody fight between the Domin- icans and British blue jackets will afford John Bull opportunity to realize from experience how it seems to have the sailors of a ship in a distant port at tacked by riotous natives. THE democratic machine in the Il1i- nois house seems to be run with as un- conscionable arrogance by Speaker Crafts as was the corporations’ machine in the Nebraska senate last winter by Lieutenant Governor Major Oma will have business before the Interstate Commeree commission at its meeting here May 10. Our shippers will doubtless have something to concerning the through rates that the | railroads propose to putin force. THE success of the manufacturers’ ex- position is assured. Tt is conceded by all who know anything about the move- ment that the agitation in favor of home patronage has been of inestimable value to the manufacturers of this city and state. Nor much sympathy will be glicited Ton this side the great pond for the thirty or more firms in Havre, Antwerp and Hamburg who have been caught in the crash of the coffee corner, engi- neered by Kaltenbach, the Paris ope- rator. - ARE the Towa lines giving the South Omaha stock market a fairdeal?” They, of course, want to haul all stock to Chicago that can be diverted from Omaha. The Commercial club might raise this issue to advantage. This business is worth fighting for. WE APPEAL to the railroads to place World's fair tickets on sale at all com- mon points 1n the territory west of here that will admit of a stop over at Omaha, coming and going. Our merchants de- mand this concession. Those of Kansas City have been granted the favor. Omaha is as good as Kansas City. THE matter of reduced bridge fare is purely a commercial question. Its adop- tion will benefit the people of Council Bluffs and Omaha by facilitating a free interchange of business. This will mean dollars and cents to them. The Com- mercial club should co-operate with the couneil in the effort to bring about a 6-cent bridee fare. THE promised Cuban revolution bas set in. An eastern province has been declared in a state of siege. This is only the beginning of what promises to become a desperate struggle for liberty. No people on earth can stand burdens such as are imposed upon Cuba by Spain. Liberty-loviny Americans will sympa- thise with any effort made to cast off the yoke of oppression. WHATEVER may be the fate of the railroad rate bill when it comes to be arbitrated in the courts, the people can- not receive a greater setback than that which the [liinois railroads themselves have just experienced. The courts have just held that the law of that state to regulate the ticket brokers business is unconstitutional. The law was passed for the express purpose of enabling these railvoads to hold up rates during the ‘World’s fair period. Hoist by their own petard. MAY day has come and gone and yet a republican holds down the Omaha end of the Missouri River commission, This, however, is easily uccounted for. The duties of the office are very exacting, ealling into play attainments and native ability of a very high order. It will be difMicult to find a democrat possessing the requisite qualifications for the posi- tion. The president, actuated no doubt by a doesire to let the civil service rules have a chance to exist, has deferred ac- tion on this important case. ABOUT thir l\“ll\u(‘hnmnu‘u have regis- tered at the Omaha revenue office under the terms of the Geary law. They will . take no chances on being banished from this country. Probably they have not heard of the Ohio case where a China- ma.: was arraigned in court only to be released because no witness was willing to swear positively that he knew the prisoner to be a Chinaman. There is very little likelihood' that the Celestials in this neck o' woods are losing much sleep over the prospective decision of the suprome court on the constitutionality of the Geary law. SUGAR BOUNTIES IN DANGER. It is estimated from reports received by the commissioner of internal revenue that the bounties on sugar for the cur- rent fiscal year will amount to about #0,100,000, which 1is considerably less than was estimated by Sccretary Foster. The payments already made amount to over $8,000,000 and a number of applica- tions remain to be adjusted. The total crop on which bounty will be paid during the present fiscal year is estimated at about 480,000,000 pounds. The production of beet sugar has advanced from 12,000,- 000 pounds in 1892 to 27,000,000 pounds in 1893, Accordind to the reports of the government inspectors the effect of the bounty has not been to increase the number of establishments, but has been to enlarge the old ones and stimu- late the introduction of new machinery and the increase in the producing ca- pacity. A dispatch from Washington a few days ago stated that a plan for suspend- ing the sugar bounty without waiting for the slow action of congress has been suggested to the president and may be adopted. The plan is for the secretary of the treasury to an order to his subordinates to draw no more warrants and make no payments on account of sugar bounties, the object being to bring on a test case and get be- fore the courts the question whether the payment of gratuities to private indi- viduals out of the money taxation upon the people was withi power of congress under the consti- tution. Tt is urged that this is the only way in which the constitutional ques- tion can be properly rawsed, and it is understood that immediately after his return to Washington the president will ask the attorney general for an opinion as to the constitutionality of bounties and also whether it is within the power of the executive to test the (uestion by refusing payment. It would seem obvious that such action on the part of the president or secretary of the treasury is reported to be under consideration would be distinetly arbitrai The sugar schedule of the tariff act of 1890 provides that ‘‘on and after July 1, 1891, and until July 1, 1905, there shall be paid, from any moneys in the tr ury not otherwise appropriated, under the provisions of section 3,680 of the Revised Statutes, to the producer of sugar testing not less than 90 degrees by the polariscope, from beets, sorghum, or sugar cane grown within the Uaited States, or from maple sap pro- duced within the United States, a hounty of 2 cents per fpound, and upon such sugar testing less than 90 degrees by the p scope and not less than 80 issue | degrees, a bounty of 1% cents per pound, under such rules and regulations as the commissioner of internal revenue, with the approval of the secretary of the treasury, shall prescribe.” This is as clearly mandatory as any section of the taviff act, and the proposition that it may be nullified and made nugatory by executive action appears preposterous. If the president or secretary of the treasury may vender inoperative the bounty clause of the tariff act why not any other of the provisions of that law which they may assume to be un- constitutional? It is not necessary to conjecture what the supreme court might decide regarding the power of congress to authorize the payment of bounties to individuals out of the public moneys. Manifestly the duty of the executive department of the govern- ment is to carry out the provisions of the law as it finds them and leave the question of annulling it, in whole or in part, to the legislative department. THE PENSION OFFICE, It hardly seoms probable, with the ex- amination an applicant for a pension must undergo, that there are as many fraudulent cases on the list as claimed. Yet it would be strange if among the 958,000 pensioners on the rolls some un- deserving beneficiaries could not be found. With a view of discovering who they ave and to prevent the addition of other fraudulent claims, the instruc- tions of the acting commissioner of pen- sions, D. I Murphy, to special exam- iners in the field are judicious and timely. He di s them to use all dili- gence in searching out such cases as may requive revision by the bureau, but admonishes them to use extreme caution and wise discrimination in so doing. They are also reminded that it is not the intention of the administration to disturb any just allowance of pensions. Nor is it intended either that special examiners shalt be made partios to petty malice and local quarrels. Now that Judge Lochren, the newly appointed commissioner, has arrived at his post. it is likely that there will soon be some new rulings and constructions of existing laws to conform with the views the president is known to entertain in reference thereto. Mr. Cleveland as- sumes that the condition of the pension list is as appalling as has been asserted. He is said to agree fully in the views ex- pressed by the democratic chairman of the house committee on pensions as to the character and construction of the act of June 27, 1800, to which reference has been made in the columns of THE BER. He thinks the evident intentions of con- gress have been diverted by rulings and constructions. What he wants Commis- sionor Lochren first to do is to go through the entire law and construe it. It is claimed that Lochren's ideas arve ally the same as Cleveland's. tary Smith and Senator Palmer, chairman of the pensions commit- tee, are of like accord, They want to see justice done deserving pensioners and those not entitled by equity to pensions to be cut off. What can be done by rulings to carry out the intentions of the administration in this direction will be done. But the proba- bilities now are that the president will send a message to congress suggesting new laws to advance the reforms he deems necessary. Some of the democrats in congress are on record as in favor of liberal pensions, while others are hostile to the .ntire system. That there will be a hot fight, certainly in the senate, over pension legislation is a foregone conclusion. The prosident understands this and will rely upon Lochren to furnish informa- tion by which the administration expects to force through the legislation that it will recommend. Judge Lochren Las been posting himself on the la | meaning of civil servic since his appointment. Tmmediately upon signifying his acceptance of the commissionership he had coples of all pension laws, old and new, and decisions and rulings sent him from Washington, He is prepared to assume the important responsibilities that at once will devolve upon him. A Washington dispatch says that a conference will immediately be held between the president, secretary of the interior, Senator Palmer and the commissioner at which the program to be followeu will be mapped out. THAT UNION DEPOT COMMITTEE. Great stress has been laid by City At torney Connell upon the action of the so- calied union depot committee and the recommendations it is said to have made to the council for the ratification of the Connell compromise. The names of the committee are paraded by Mr. Connell in print to impress the community with the fact that the compact was made and ratified by representative men who were above all influence from the corporate managers who constitute the Union Depot. company. What are the facts? The committee as originally appointed was composed of two bankers closely allied with the managers in question; John A. Harbach, whose subserviency to their interest is notorious; A. J. Poppleton, who was more than half way committed to them, and Messrs, George W. Lininger, E. Rosowater, Dr. S. D. Mercer and W, J. Connell. The editor of THE BEE was designated as chairman of the commit- tee. The committee held two or three meetings with the railroad managers with no definite understanding. Then the chairman was called away from Omaha and at his request Major Bal- combe was substituted temporarily. It was during the absence of the chairman that the Kimball dispatch proposing a jughandle compromise was forwarded to President Clark and the underground wires were set in motion by Mr. Connell to got the council to ratify it. To make the thing plausible the city engineer dded to the committee, but Mayor Bemis, who is designated by the charter as one of the contracting parties, for some reason was entirely ignored. Mr. Connell now tells us the commit- tee unanimously endorsed his plan of settlement and Andrew Rosewater's name is given as one of the chief factors in the compromise. The fact is that Andrew Rosewater had no part in the conditions agreed upon. All he was asked to do was toexamine the plans and give his opinion as to the substantial character of the proposed depot build- ing. His signature to the report is de- ceptive. He knew little or nothing about the conditions embodied in the com- promise ordinance and was not even aware that the title to part of Tenth street and other streets was given away by the ordinance. Another verysingular performance was the calling and hold- ing of committee meetings without noti- fying or inviting its recognized chair- man to be present. The fact is, his presence was not wanted because he was knowa to be unfriendly to the jughandle deal. Another singular performance was the farcical mass meeting of taxpaying citizens invited to discuss the depot question, called the day after Christmas, which last year was a quasi-holiday, be- cause Christmas came on Sunday. It was a palpable scheme to hoodwink the public, and the manner in which it was handled and rushed through by the council affords convincing proof of that fact. The less said about the action of that committee and the late council on the depot matter the better. THE committee that has been investi- gating the charge that the executive committee of the so-called Towa State Temperance alliance last year sold out to the democrats reports that the charge is untrue. However, the Sioux City Times denounces the finding as a whitewashing report, but only what was to have been expected. It declares that every facility of the alliance was de- voted to the defeat of the republicans and the aid of the democrats in last year's political contest in the state. And now, says the Times, “‘the further fact is firmly established in the minds of the people of Iowa that the so-callod State Temperance alliance is no longer, and for some time has not been, a tem- perance alliance at all, but merely a partisan machine subordinated to the ends of the prohibition third party, with particular malice toward the republican party in this state.” I'rom this it is pretty evident that the day of this or- ganization's usefuluoss in the promotion of temperance work is past and the peo- ple of lTowa wiil not be long in compre- hending the situation. THE gentleman who arrived in this country from Paris some days ago to cordially tender Americans a chance to subscribe to the stock of a new Panama canal scheme, does not appear to have met with flattering success. The wide divergence between his estimate of the probable cossand time required for com- pletion of the canal, and that submitted in the recent trials at Paris may have sered American capitalists from con- fiding implic in the Frenchman's views. The estimate submitted by the government prosecutor was that at least $300,000,000 would be required and that the work would consume tweaty years. This commissioner claims that $40,000, 000 will complete the canal in seven or eiglit years. This discrepancy may sug- gest opportunity for General Vifquain when he gets down in the neighborhood of the big diteh. THERE is ample opportunity for Hon. Carl Schurz, who succeeds Mr. George William Curtis as president of the Na- tional Civil Service Reform league and chairman of the executive committee, to evidence his fitness for the position. It is to be apprehended that the execu- tive managers of the present administra- tion have no clear conception of the reform,of which they talk so glibly. Mr. Schurz may be able to impress upon Mr. Cleveland the fact that the appointment of 5,000 fourth- class postmasters by Mr. Maxwell within six weeks, as the price of political ser ices, is not in aceord with the policy expressed by the unequivocal utter- ances of the president, Nor does the fact that, even the smallest federal appointment, made in some of the states rnprn-hd in his cabinet, must first bo O, K.'"® ¥y the department socretary, add mudf 'th the pleasure of the apostles of cfvik, service reform. There is much to be done in every branch of the govethnient service before the present adminfstration can expect to receive the admigation of the people for its efforts in behalf of the reforms promised by Mr. Clevéland. Little has been done as yet!tojustify the high hopes raised by their promises. ‘WE DO not propose to take part in the personal controversy hetween John D. Howe and City Attarney Connell. [t is to be regretted that the discussion of so important a question as the union depot injunction should degenerate into a por- sonal quarrel between the lawyers. In justice to Mr. Howe we are compelled, however, to vefute the charge that he made himself a party to the injunction suit for mercenary motives at the in- stance of the Milwaukee railroad or any other railroad company. We can vouch for the fact that Mr. Howe was induced to take the position he now holds asa taxpaying plaintiff by a number of the heaviest taxpayers in the city of Omaha. Mr. Howe volunteered his services with- out pay on condition that the costs of the suit would be defrayed by the men who were back of him. This fact was known to Mr. Connell before he published the false charge against Mr. Howe, and we cannot com- prehend why he persisted in giving it publici Mr. Howe is engaged in a very thankless and profitless task. He has been subjected to abuse and ungen- erous criticism when he is doing the city an invaluable service. Wedeem it only our duty to set him right before this community, and we hope that his mo- tives will not be impugned again by any- body. THE senator from Otoe who has been provided with a mission to Europe by his patron, the secretary of agricul- ture, has been posting himself on the duties that he will be expected to perform over in Germany. He finds that he will have considerable to engage his atten- tion aside from the matter of introducing the use of Indian corn among the ( mans.The investigation of the restrictions placed upon the importation of Ameri- can meats and tobacco with a view to bringing about more favorable treatment on the part of the Germans, will afford Mr. Mattes ample opportunity for the exertion of his energies. Moreover it will also be his task to report on the progress that has been made in the use of corn as an article of food and to fur- ther encourage its use there in every possible way. The gentleman from Otoe is congratulating himself that he has been given considerable latitude in which to exercise his peculiar abilities. rers SECRETARY MORTON has dismissed from service in the Agricultural depart- ment Mortimer Whitehead, who hap- pens to be a worthy lecturer of the national grange. High officers of that organization have protested to no avail. The secretary is said to have little use for that organization and the alliance as well. Among other things he said to the grangers that he_ resented the re- fusal of the Nebraska legislature to pass congratulatory resolutions upon his re- cent accession to power. It was due, he thought, to the opposition of alliance members, who charged that he had de- nounced that organization during the campaign. The third party politicians in Nebraska will get little aid and com- fort from Mr. Morton, or for that matter, from any other democrat who owes his place to President Cleveland.

The scheme of making a man fancy he is better off because what he has to sell seem- ngly brings a higher price, when in reality ho can get no more for it than before—no more groceries, clothiug, ete.—is the device of a charlatan.
