THERE is something almost sublime about the nerve of some of the Central American republics. An American steamship has been boarded and searched for rebels by officers repre- senting the Nicaraguan government. The United States fought a bloody war with England eighty years ago to es- tblish the principle that American ships are not to be boarded by the armed agents of a’ foreign powar THE gathering of delegates from the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas at Lincoln next month to dis- cuss the proposed railroad from Bis- marck to the gull is already attracting much attention in all parts of the coun- try. The convention will be a notable one on one account, for it will be the first formal attempt of the advocates of state ownership of railroads to put their theories into practice. For this reason, it for no other, the proceedings will be awaited with interest. THE extreme northwesternmost point of land in the state of Washington and in the United States, known as Point Roberts, and used as a military reserva- tion, is to be thrown open to sottlement. The point is connected by land with Canada and separated from Washington by the Gulf of Georgia. Those who will be benefited are said to be principally the employes of a Canadian fishing com- pany, so that “the opening seems to be @ practical cession of the land to Canada, which perhaps is no greatloss,” says the Tacoma Ledge: 17 HAS been a terrible shock to the flemocratic avistocracy of the south that Postmaster General Bissell should have appointed a negro at Meridian, Miss., to 8 mail route vacancy, when his examina- tion and position as a subordinate clearly sutitled him to the promotion. The New Orleans States warns Mr. Bissell that “if he attempts to carry out the vivil service system on that line he will render the administration of which he s a part a stench in the nostrils of the south.” And the Stales is one of the southern papers that cannot understand why it is that northern emigration will not come in that direction, WYOMING newspapers are kicking vigorously about the state's exhibit at the World’s fair. It is elaimed that while the appropriation for the display Was not great, it was, in every way, com- mensurate with her wealth and popula- tion and should have resulted in a cred- itable showing. But as it is citizens claim they are ashamed of it, and “suffer much humiliation from its shaggy appearance.” The state board of managersare criticised severcly for this condition of things that, aside from other considerations, has simply lost the sate the advertising that a creditable display would have afforded. NOTWITHSTANDING that dismissals are constantly occurring in the consular service to make room for hungry demo- o 'ats, Lher.e is one vacancy remaining that the president may find some difli- gty in filling. Itis the consulship at Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. It was offered tg Frank J. Parker of Walla #nlln, with what sinster design is not nown. But Parker had heard of it, and be declines, as he does not wish to go where there is every chance of dying with yellow fever; wheve it rains five days in succession, and when it does not rain the air is so humid that one can scarcely respire, and where “one has to live on red pepper and beans and be de- voured by flies, and nota drop of good whisky in the country,” all for $2,000 & y.ar i AN A Y » ¥ A NO INDIGNITY TO THE COURT. Ttoomes to us from & very reliable source that ome of the justices of the supreme court expressed much indigna- tion at the remarks made by Mr. Lam- bortson at the close of his aadress on behalf of the state, which are reported as follows: The duty devolving upon this court is @raver than that imposed upon the senate engaged in the trial of an impeachment case. If the senate excuses, justifies or ac- quits an officer accused of the commission of oficial misdemeanors the public may toler- ate, if not condone, the verdict, because the senate is a political body, governed by polit- ical considerations. It is expected that such a body will subserve party ends. But it is different with a court, which is a non- political body, and therefors intended to be removed from the influence of politics. A | court s expected to do justice though the heavens fall. Hence their judgments hive greater weight with the people than the action of a purely political body. As more is expected of the court it is highly important that by its judgment here it meas- ure up to this high standard of public esti- mate. 1f the court of final resort, the most august tribunal in the state by reason of its dignity, learning and integrity, shall decide that it was bocoming for the Board of Public Lands and Buildings to appoint as its agent and superintendent William H. Dorgan, tho representative of every interest adverse to the state; that it was proper to pay him and his principal 81 per day for the labor of con- victs when all other lessces of convict labor were paying but 40 conts per day; that it was in the line of duty for the board to expend or authorize the expenditure of §700, appropriated to build a cell house, for a tour of inspoction of state prisons, and to send delegates to a prison congress; that it was right to pay for labor that never was used and permit the diversion of moneys and materials to the personal use of Dorgan and Mbshor; that a purchase of stone at three times the market price was the act of vigi- lant officers and careful business men; that the method of appraving vouthers for coal delivered at the asylum adopted by the board, whereby the state was defranded of $12,000 in one year and four months, relievea the board from all responsibility and acquits them of gross or willful negligence; that re- spendends were in all matters under consid- eration guiltless of intentional misconduct; that none of the charges under the evidence rise to the gravity of an oficial misde- meanor; that respondents be therefore re- stored to their oftices, commended by the court as good and faithful public servants— then will the court throughout the borders of the commonwealth pronounch for the first time asa tribunal of impenchment a judg- ment that will not only produce a profound fon, but one that will seriously impair the respect and veneration in which it is held and lessen that high sense of public duty in oficers which is at once the safety and protection ot the state. It is the last clause doubtless to which exception is taken. But is there veally any ground for construing the language used as disrespectful to the court? The people, through their representa- tives in both houses of the legislature, presented these charges, and demanded at the hands of the supreme court that the majesty of the law be vindicated. The court is not in this instance acting in its judicial capacity to decidoe a point of 1aw, or to interpret the constitution. For the purposes of this trial the court sits as a political body, exercising the functions which usually devolve upon the upper house of a legislative body, to interpret official conduct of members of a co-ordinate branch ot state govern- ment. They have simply to pass judg- ment as to whether the charges em- bodied iv the articles of impeachment were sustained by the testimony. Impeachment trials are recognized as political inquests instituted to protect the people from misrule. The court can therefore scarcely take exception to any argument pointing to the demoralizing effect which an acquittal of the im- peached state would have upon the pub- lic service, nor is there the slightest semblance of disrespect shown to the court by Mr. Lambertson in coupling with his earnest appeal the declaration that the people of Nebraska will be pro- foundly shocked by a verdict that would place the seal of approval on the conduct of the respondents. It is a matter of fact that the high court of public opinion—a tribunal that alwavs is in session—has heard the charges and weighed the testimony. That tribunal has already formed its own judgment as to whether the im- peachment was frivolous and groundless, and whether the conduct of the officials charged with malfeasance was such as would justify a new lease of confidence and a full vindication, BETTER MEN WANTED IN POLITICS, The republican club of Massachusetts, in preparing for the campaign of this year, has started out with the commend- able effort to persuade the most public- spirited men of the party to takea greater interest in political affairs. In an address just isstied the club urges that to give thought to matters of public concern and t) attend his party cau- cuses are among tho first duties of every citizen. In order that party nominees shall represent the intelligent thought of the party and the well-considered choice of voters it is necessary that the better clements of the party shall be active in selecting reputable men to nominating conventions, If primaries and caucuses are largely attended, runs the address, if a general and widespread interest in public affairs is manifested, the delegates chosen to the contentions will deem it noslight honor thus to rep- resent the people, and with a deep sense of their responsibility, will not only attend the conventions in person, but will give careful consideration to the duties of their trust, and will neither transfer their credentials nor care- lessly pledge their support to the first applicant for office. This would go far to assure the nomi- nation of meu of ability and character, untrammeled by personal pledges and under no obligation to political cliques. In the opinion of these Massachusetts republicans this is the first praotical step toward purity in politics. The rem- edy for bad nominations i3 with the peo- ple. If they will attend their caucuses | tions going wrong or of men being and select thair delegates for them- solves, instead of allowing this to be done by committees or cliques according to the direction of interested parties, after-manipulation will be next to im- possible. What is true of Massachu- setts applies cqually to every state | in the union. In our political system the caucus is so important a part of the machinery that, if the people allow themselves to be tricked there, it is difficult to apply a romedy after- wards, Make the caucus clean and hon- est, fairly and fully expressive of the intelligence and integrity of the party, and there is little danger of conven- foisted upon the party who are un- worthy of the popular support. In order 1o do this it is manifestly necessary that the intelligent, honest and public- spirited citizens shall attend the cau- cuses of their party and take an active interest in giving direction to them. Ex-Senator Ingalls said m one of his able and brilliant articles: “When the honest, thrifty majorities upon any pre- text negiect their political obligations, omit to attend the primaries, the nomi- nating conventions and the polls, they abdicate their sovercignty. They wear the crown and hold the scepter, and if they choose to lay them down it is puerile to whine about bad government. Our political system is not automatic. It will not run itself. Somebody must exert its functions, and if good men will not then bad men may. If the people do not value their freedom enough to exer- cise its prerogatives and discharge its duties they ought to be, and sooner or later will be, subjects and slaves.” No- body will question the soundness of theso views. . The demand for better men in politics is everywhere. It is not peculiar | to any state or section. Tt is as urgent in Nebraska as in Massa- chusetts, in the northwest as in New England. The republican club of Mas- sachusetts is right in saying that the tirst practical step toward purity in politics is to make the caucus the ox- ponent of the will of the intelligent, honest and public-spirited element of the party. FEDERAL AU WILL INTER- Tho federal authorities propose to take part in deciding the question whether the World's fair shall be opened or closed on Sunday. The action of a ma- jority of the national commission, in voting to sustain the decision of the fair directory to open the exposition on Sun- day, it was hoped would be the end of the controversy, which has had a more or less damaging effect upon the enter- prise. This action séems, however, to be disapproved at Washington, notwith- standing the common impression that the national commission was clothed with © full discretionary authority to determine the question so far as the government is concerned, and it is an- nounced that Attorney General Olney has instructed the United States district attorney at Chicago to institute the necessary proceedings in the federal court to secure an injunction restraining the officers of the fair from proceeding under the opening resolution of the di- rectory. Itis to be presumed that the court will grant an injunction, and then will be commenced an interesting con- flict, the end of which it would be un- safo to predict. That the issue is an unfortunate one from every point of view, and particu- larly in its relation to the financial suc- cess of the fair, everybody understands, but the Washington authorities will justify themselves on the ground that they are simply doing their duty under the law. They cannot be fairly criti- cised for their course, since it is their function to enforce the law as they find it, without regard to its wisdom or ex- pediency. If the court orders the fair closed on Sunday, it istobe presumed that the officers of the fair will submit, but it is possible they may not. In that event, what would the federal govern- ment be likely to do? There has been some talk that it might resort to military force. but it is hardly conceiv- able that any such extreme measure as this would be adopted. The United States marshal might be directed to organize a posso to enforce the court's order, but it is questionable whether even this would be done if there was danger of a serious conflict. To arrest all the officers of the fair would be a task which the federal authorities would hesitate to undertake. The matter, it will be seen, presents some grave com- plications, and there is only one thing that appears to be certain, and that is that in any event the fair must suffer from the controversy, though unquestionably 1t will suffer far more if the gates are closed on Sun- day than if they are opened on that day. There are probably thousands who will stay away from the fair if Sunday clos- ing prevails where there are hundreds who will carry out the threat to boycott the exposition in case it is opened on the first day of the week. It now seems im- probable that under the most favorable conditions the enterprise can be made a financial success, and without the reve- nue which Sunday opening would give, its failuve financially is assured. Serious as this matter is, it is not the only trouble with which the officers of the exposition are having to contend. The foreign commissioners are dissat- isfied with the system of judging and have given notice of the withdrawal of foreign exhibits from competition for awards. Perhaps this difficulty will not be found very troublesome, but its oceur- rence is to be regretted. Taking, all things together—the delay in complet- ing the exposition, which may not be ac- complished for weeks yet, the Sunday closing controversy, the extortion practiced upon visitors, the dissatisfac- tion of foreign exhibitors, and some minor difficulties—the experience thus far with this great enterprise has been 4 most troubled and embarrassing one and the outlook cannot be regarded as promising, at least for those who have money invested iu it, WHATEVER the foundation of the charges of the Salt Lake 7'ribune that polygamy still exists and is winked at by the authorities in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, the statements have crcnwdl OMAMA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, MAY 26 quite a stir among tr Mormon settle- | decade the great industrial combinasions, as The city! ol Evanston was named a8 the home of the plural wives of a number of Salt Lake polyga- mists.

This is one of the most fertile regions in the state. THE PEOPLE HAVE SGME RIGHTS. The Union Pacific and Burlington may now go ahead and finish the so- called union depot or they may abandon it and build a new depot on another lo- cation. The permanent injunction granted by the courts does not hinder them from doing the one thing or the other. They may, of course, if they see fit, appeal from the decision of the dis- trict court to the supreme court and pending final decree decline to either complete the depot they have begun or to build a new one elsewhere. Whatever they may decide upon one thing is patent. The present station must be temporarily enlarged and made more commodious. People who patronize rail- roads have some rights which their managers must respect. The wretched shed which has for more than two years served as a union station would not ac- commodate the passenger travel on a single railroad in any town of 5,000 popu- lation. There is not room enough for people who are obliged to come in or go out over the two main arteries of travel, let alone the thou- sands who are constantly travel- ing north, east and south over the Milwaukee, Rock Island, Northwestern and Wabash roads. The filthy and crowded waiting rooms would disgrace a Russian station for the accommodation of Siberian convicts. The pigeon- hole which serves for a ticket office. for two clerks where half a dozen clerks ave needed is an imposi- tion on the public. People who desire to buy tickets are obliged to board the trains and play thief catcher for the company by paying excess fare on draw- back checks, which ava lost nine times out of ten. In bad eather people are exposed to pelting: rain and snow be- cause the companies’have not provided sufficient shelter. | " There must bo some remedy for such outrageous lack of &tcothmodations. It is not a question of palatial quarters for tho wayfarer but of exposure to the ele- ments to which even-cattle would not be subjected without some penalty. There must be some tribuunal that would com- pel public carriers to furnish respecta- ble shelter for their patrons detained at stations. Tho injunctions granted by the courts do not absolve the railroad companies from their obligations as common carriers. They cannot plead as an excuse that they would have built a handsome and commodiousdepot if they had been given a fee simple deed to the grounds without conditions as to terms to roads that center here. One of the managers is quoted as saying that the injunction would leave $300,000 in the pockets of his company for a few years longer. Now the interest on $300,000 at 5 per cent is 815,000 a year. Why shall not his company expend at least $15,000 for a temporary station that will keep women and children from exposure and protect the traveling public generally from contact with the flith, rodents and vermin that make the horrible old im- migrant shed not onlyan eyesore and nuisance, but an abomination. ‘Why can’t the companies provide a sufficient number of ticket sellers and ticket offices for their paying patrons? Inasmuch as they have already saved $30,000 interest within the past two years they certainly will not claim that they cannot afford to build a temporary station, WHILE it is not possible to make the Nebraska exhibit at the fair a3 imposing as that of other states, it is to be hoped that something will be done for the sake of state and city pride to save it from being ranked as the most insignificant and unattractive of all the buildings on the grounds. Some steps should be taken by all means to ornament and im- prove the interior of the Nebraska build- ing so that visitors from our own state shall not feel ashamed of it.

Wednesday evening it onliv- eued mattors by executing a lively hoel and toe polka. Proprietor Murray pulled one string. Mr. Van Orman, the new manager, pulled the other. Finally, after an alleged wordy war in the parlor of the hotel, Mr. Van Orman tendered his resignation, but as yet no definite action has been taken upon it. It has only been a few wocks since B. Sil- loway, a manager whose popularity has no boundary line, vesigned. His nominal reason, aseiven upon that occasion, was timt he was going to Chicago to associate limself with F. K. Alexander in the hotel business. e also incidentally referred to his dissatisfaction at the high rent which he was compelled to pay for the Murray. It is whispored, too, that evon tho gentle Silloway did not tread the prim- rose pathway of content in other dealihgs with Proprictor Murray. When Mr. Silloway resigned, M. Murray donned tho managerial toga. not Whether or he regarde it as a misfit, or other he did not have time ttend to the arduous duties of manager in connection with other business mattors, is uot known. ‘T'he latter reason, however, is generously accepted as the one that prompted him to look around for a new ma ager after occupying the position for a briof period, Now Broom Broaches Reforms.

Later in the day Mr. Van Orman could restrain his impatience no longer, and he straightway sought the proprietor und asked for & definite answer. The answer was o dently not in accord with the new manager's views. It is said that he invited Mr. Murray into the parlor at the hotel and that he there proceeded to uncork the vial of his discontent. The interview between the pro- prictor ana manager is said to have been somewhat frank—somewhat emphatic and decidedly heated. According to rumor, sub- stantiated by M.r. Van Orman yesterday, he gave Mr. Murray an ultimatum with a resignation tied to iv. Mr. Murray, it is said, asked further time, and the mat- ter is yet unsettled. The indications are that Mr. Van Orman will make good his threat and leave the hotel to unless Mr. Murray complies with his request to make the improvements. Mr. Van Orman's Story. Manager Van Orman was scen by a Ban reporter at the Murray yesterday afternoon. e evidently did not want to tlk on the sub- Jeet. “Oh!it's a regular monkey and parrot state of affairs, that is all” he finally suid. “I took an_inventory of the hotel and ity of improvements, especia lovator bells and other things. dozen more napkins, becauso there will bea convention of railway surgeons herenext weeliand then thgre is another couvention of business men from all over the state, Mr. Murray wanted to wait and get bids from firms on"all the improvements 1 suggested, inetuding the six dozen napkins and some crockery we needed. Then, too, it scems that Mr, lloway, the former manager, turned over some hotel silverware to Mr. Murray and he thereupon assumed custody of the same. Mr. Murray told me yesterday that he had this silverware at home, and when- ever I needed any of it for hotel service, in addition to what we had at the house, ho would be glad to let me have it each time I wanted it for service at the hotel. This odd idea of running a hotel, and the seeming lack of confidence in me, was too much. I told him then and there that if he did; have any confidence in me 1 would quit and 1 tendered my resignation, but no defi- nite action has yet been taken. Unless things assume a more satisfactory shape by tomorrow, I will certainly leave the house. Idon't propose to be hampered in the dis- charge of my duty as manager and will only remain on certain conditions.” PROPLE AND THINGS, —_— Potrified atiffs aro manufactured to ord by a Catifornia firm.
