Twenty-six governors have already responaed to Governor Nelson's proposition for such a conven- tion, among them the governor of Ne- braska, Russell of Massachusetts, Patti- son of Pennsylvania and Altgeld of 111i- nois.

The building of the great diteh with its myriad laterals has been an undertaking of no small magnitude, and experts declare the entive work the most perfect In the country.Other systems are contemplated, snd the impetus that irrigation is sure to give to agriculture and horticulture will enable Washing- ton to contribute an immense volume of produce to the markots of the country. Here is another suggestion for the en- couragement of irrigation enterprise in the state of Nebraska. DAILY BEE. | THE SOUTH AND IMMIGRATION, Tt is reported that the executives of the southern states are receiving lettors | trom fmmigration agonts in the north- woest proposing to send foreign settlers to the south. It is also said that when | the logislatures of the varions southern states meet next winter some proposi- tions will ba made to establish an immi- gration azency abroad, to be supported by the different southern states, The governors of these states, it is sug- gested, appreciate the importance of having agents abroad and would have advised such a course at the recent con- ference at Richmond had it been deemed proper at that time. The convention of southern governors | which met at Richmond a short time plan tosecure immigration to the south was not strikingly successful, but it very plainly indicated that there isa strong sentiment in the south favorable to im- migration and that the movement to encourage it islikely to gain in strength. What the possibilities of suceess ave 1s & question. onc-hundredth part of the imm grants that come to this country declare their intention to bee of the states of the south, while | the rest of themsettle in northern states. What is the reason for this? The cli- mateof the south is genial. The agri- | cultural capabilities of a large portion of that section ave unsurpassed. Land in the south is not dear, relatively, and there is every reason to suppose that it will yield vewards to industry propor- tionate to any other pavt of the country. There are economic reasons why the south should be the most tempting field for immigration in the world. Yet 0 few of the people coming from the old world does it attract that an extraordinary effort is deemed nece: sary to present its claims and advanta- ges to the people who are seeking homes in the new world. While the economic conditions strongly invite immigration to that rection, very little goes there. There seems to be but one explanation of this, aud that is the social conditions that prevail in the south. In the first place, the immigrant from Europe, if he have any intelligent information about or as a laborer, that he can in the west. The old aristocratic spirit has not gone out of the former section, while in the latter it has never asserted itself. Tt still remains trae of the south that the toiler and the poor man must stand in the background. Inthe west this has never been the case. Another obstac! to immigration to the south is the fact that the political conditions in that sec- tion are unfavorable to frec aad inde- pendent action. They put a constraint both upon the opinions and the conduct of men, compelling them to pursue a certain cour; in order to win success in any divection. Still anothoer obstacle is in the loose re- gard which the southern people have for law. 'The many instances of mob violence in that section, which there is no attempt to remedy, cannot fail to im- press Iiuropeans, familiar with the an- thority of law and taught to respect it, that there is in the south an absence of that sccurity for person and property whieh is to be had in other portions of the country. It is evident that if the south is to ob- tain the immigration which it desives and which it undoubtedly needs for its development and material progress, there must ho a radical change in the social and political conditions of that section. Unhappily there seems at present but small promise that this will be attained. MASTER AND SERVANT, A recent decision of the supreme court respecting the liabilities of a railvond corporution to an employo for injuries received while in the service of the com- pany docs not seem to have attracted the attention its significance should commend., Thirty-six years ago Chief Justice Taney handed down his famous opinion in the Dy Scott case. Six of the asso- ciate justices of the suprems eourt hold with him that the negro was so far in- ferior that he had no rights which the white man was bound to respect. Only two justices of the court, McLean and (¢} rtis, dissented from this opinion. thought by some that the dec. in It ion just handed down this railroad ease may prove as far. ing on the law reluting to master and sevvant as the memorable decision had on the institu- tion of slavery. The opinion disposes of the case of the Baltimore & Ohio rail- voad against John Baugh, reversing the judgment of the civeuit eourt and re- manding the case for a new trial. A noticeable eoineidence is, that the de- cision, which was rewd by Justice Brewer, was reached hy tha same vote as the majority opinion in the Dred Scott case. Chief Justice Fuller joined with Justice Field in a lengthy dissent- ing opinion, remarkable for the vigor- ous lanyoage in which it is eouched and the drastic manner with which the con- clusions of the majority are contro- verted. The cirenmstances of the case, related move fully than given in the dispateb, ave those: Baugh, a locomotive fireman on the road, was injured, as he claimed, in a collision at Bel- laire, O., through the negligence of the engine He brought suit against the company and was given a verdiet for 86,750, The railroad com- pany appealed from the cireuit to the supreme court. The question consid- ered was whether the engineer and five- man of this locomotive, running without any train attached, were fellow servants of the company, or . whether the engi- neer was in the position of master, rep- resonting the company. Justice Brewer and the majority of the couet held the former opinion. Indoing 8o he reversed the decision in” the case of a railroad eompany against Ross, that went to the supreme court from Minnesota some years ago, and has since become a load- ing case. In the Ross ease the court held that “‘a conductor of a railroad train, who has a right to command the movements of a train and control the persons employed upon it, represents l““ compauy while performing these ago for the purpose of formulating some | It is & fact that only about | me citizens ot any | social conditions in this coun- | kuows that he canuot occupy 50 favorable a position in the south, ecither as a small farmer . for the avowed purpose of dealing more | dutfes and doos not bear the relation of fellow servant to the engineer and other employes on the train.” In the Baugh caso there was no conductor, as the en- | gincer was a helper, but rule ten | of the company provided thatin such cases the engineer became the con- ductor, The majority of the court | maintained that Baugh was a fellow sorvant of the engineer, knowing with him the peril of the trip, and by volun- tary riding assvruied the risk, and, therefore, cannot recover. The principal objection in Justice | Field's dissenting opinion, supported by | the ehief justice, to the decision read by | Judge Brewer, is to the claim that the | question is one of general law, in which | the and decisions of the | courts of Ohio, the state in which the | accident occurred, are not followed. | The verdict and judgment in the court below, he stated, were reached in con- formity with the law as settled by the supreme court of Ohio and under the | judiciary act of 1780 that was the law to eontrol. Under the opinion of the ma- jority, he said, the Ross case falls, and | thelaw of master and servant is given a construction that will make it exceed- ingly difficult for a co-employe to secure damages. Pointing out the dangers in the opinion of the majority hesaid the de- cision “destroys the autonomy of the states, wipes out the state line and goes far toward building up a powerful cen- tralized government in place of the g ernment of limited powers which was created by consent of the sovereign states.” This decision by the highest court in the land is certainly an important one and will be sure to attract greater at- tention than it has received as soonas | its full purport is genevally known and understood. state laws apprehensions necossarily folt as to the issue of the battle that seems pending between the government and revolution- ists, commands the special attention of the people of this country. Nicaragua is the largest of the Central American states, with an area of 49,500 square miles and a population of nearly 313,000, Its commercial intercourse with the | United States is measured by about 500,000 of exports and as great a ue of imports annually. But chief interest centers on this republic in that across its tervitory is to run | the mavatime ship canal to connect the waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific. This is eminently an American enter- prise, progressing under a charter granted by eomgress in 1889 to capitalists of this country. In view of the disas- ters that have overtaken the Panama canal enterprise, the speedy construc- tion of the Nicaragua channel becomes a matter of importance to the commerce of the world. The total length of the proposed route is 169 miles, but of this i 142 miles are included in the River San Juan and Lake Nicaragina. The original total estimated cost was $90,000,000, and six years were set for its construction. More rapid progress will have to be made on the work than heretofore to carry out this intention, and the troubles in tho state are likely to retard operations. I'he reports received at Washington regarding the progress of the revolution are conflicting, as are also the statements respecting its incep- tion. That it was incited and is sup- ported by New York capitalists is de- nied by the former sccretary of the Nica- raguan legation in that city. That the troubles jeopardize American intor- ests is evidenced by the fact that the United States government hasdispatehed a war ship to either coast of the dis- turbed republic. The Atlanta from New York is envoyage for Groytown, and the Alliance from San Francisco for Corinto. Upon these will devolve the duty of protecting the interests of Amer- icans, for the cities now in possession of the revolutionists embrace” those onthe entire line of the canal west of the lake and the principal portion of the canal from Greytown to the lake. years ago Michigan abolisled ath penalty for murder. The v committee of the lower branch ature of that state has just of the leg reported in favor of restoring that penalty. The justification for this is | found in the inereased number of mur- ders. A bill to rostore the death penalty provides that only persons convieted by direct evidenco shall be hung, while those convieted wholly on circumstantial evidence shall be imprisoned for life at hard labor. Under su 4 law some murderers would cscapo hanging who deserved that penalty, but if a com- promiso must be made this is perhaps the best that is possible, although ci cumstantial evidence 1s sometimes al- most as convineing as divect evidence and it would bs rarve indeed that convi tion for murder could be secured with- out it. But the important and instruc- tive fact in this matter is that after many years of trial the people of Michi- gan aro not satisfied with life imprison- ment as a deterrent to murder, Capital crime has incveasod out of proportion to the growth of population, and convie- tions for murder in the first degree wre no more numerous relatively under the present law than when the penalty was death. The experience of Michigan s commended to the attention of those who advocate abolishing the death pen- alty. There is a number of such in N braska, whose efforts to secure such legislation from the last legislature fortunately failed. eEme—— THE letter from a wounded veteran making inquiry respecting the signifi- cance of some of the changes in the rules governing the pension office, of which mention was made ina recent issue of Tue Beg, indicates the close attention paid by the old soldiers to the new methods under the present admin- istration. The changes to which he al- ludes ave only part of a long series that Commissioner Lochren is placing in practical operation. Important as their observation wust prove to claimants and their attorneys they do not possess ap- proximate significance to the sweeping order just issued revoking the celo- brated “‘completed files' ‘order of ex-Com- missioner Raum This radical change in the method in vogue prior to 1889 is equitably with just such cases a8 that our ocorrespondent states his to be. Ita aoim s to take up for consideration hereafter all pending claims in the order in which the evidence is filed. But THE BEE'S old subscriber must recollect that there are a multitudo of claims, filod previous to the date of his application, that must take precedent. The rule requiring all affidavits filed to be wholly typewritten does not promise to increase tho expense involved in prosecuting a claim. As it is the pension attorneys and claim agents prepave the afidavits and the process by typewriting should be no more exponsive than the employment of a good penman. Doubtless its chief object 18 to guard against the mistakes that are liable to arise from illegible writing, and it should benefit rather than prove a hardship to the claimant. The rule requiring all correspondence in regard to claims to be addressed to the head of the burcau need not deter the claimant making inquiries as to the status of his application and will most likely assure him more judicial consideration than he would otherwise receive. The special acts pensioning Mesdames Grant and Logan were passed under the intuitive apprehension, it is probable, that these worthy beneficiaries would never marry again, and the utter im- probasility of the contingency renders it hardly necessary to discuss the effect such an event would be likely to have on their status on the pension roster. WASHINGTON state republicans are congratulating each other on the sweop- ing and decided victbry won in the re- cent Spokane city election. The same result is also promised at the next day of municipal reckoning in Seattle. The eonditions that prevail in the public af- fairs of these two strongholds of repub- licanism in that state are remarkably similar. The retiring democratic ad- ministration of Spokane, as that of Se- attle, was carriod into power by the wave of discontent that came from busi- ness depression during a republican ad- ministration. The same promises and questionable means were used in both s t0 gain municipal control, and the subsequent management of tho affairs of poth cities has boon equally bad. The sform promises have beon broken, extravagance has been the rule, neglect of duty has been conspieuous in eithor city and demoserats a3 well as republi- cans have bacome heartily ashamed of the municipal officials. It is nov likely that after the experience they have had the republicans of either city will vote the democratic ticket again, as many of them did last year, whatever the dissat- isfaction that may exist. As indicating the carelessness with which the finances of Seattio have been handled, the city council has now pending three ordinances for validating certain warrants amounting in the aggre- gate to more than $600,000, which have been informally, if not illegally, fssued, and which must be adopted 1o save the eity from the stigma of repudi- ating its just dehts. Five bonding ordi- nances are also pending, aggregating 81,075,000, Seattle’s present bonded debt is already $2,565,000, and if this proposed new issue of bonds is author- ized it will increase the city's total " bonded debt to $3,640,000.

There isa general and firm belief among northern democrats that it is bad policy f the people of the south to perpotuate recolleetions and to stimulate the peris animosities of the war period by extrava, and untimely displays of the unwhol, sentimentalism which they may cherish on the subject. 1t is natural that they should love the memories of their heroes; that they should bestow the crown of martyrdom on those who died in their cause; that they should love the faded and worn emblems of their calamitous faith, and that they should regard with a lasting, mournful interest the pages of American history stained with their tears and blood. But there is a time for all things. There are proprieties in personal, political and material life which command observance. ‘The individual who does not at the proper timeo lay aside mourning for a dead relati is regarded as of unsound mind or sickly sipilities. A peovle who flourish their sor- row long after their cause and its conse- quences have disappeared, and whose defe has brought them countless blessings wh their victory could not have produced, show a ridiculous weakness when they abandon the practical affairs of life to idle away their time as mourners in a graveyard where the soa covers a loss which was their incaleu- lable gain. 2 JETY .
