No political party has succoeded in perfecting a monopoly of either good or bad men. yond the day of when all men are Ir1s difficult to see how the United States government can suffer from the appointment of receivers to manage the Union Pacifie. The government would have had just as hard a time to realize on its second mortgage sceurity whether the road went into a veceivership or not. who hope to get the sonate rules changed by constitutional nmendment so that a majority can seeure a vote after the lavse of a reasonable time devoted to debate are doomed to disappointment. Tt requires the consent of two-thivds of the members of the senate to even propose a constitutional amendment in the ordinary manner, Tue first step has been taken in the reanimation of the Geary Chinese ex- clusion law. But even the amended act as passod by the house fails to appro- priate the $7,000,000 which the treasury officials estimate as necessary for the de- vortation of the Chinese residents of the United States who failed to register under theold law. The Chinese are evidently not yet quite ready to go. Tuge World’s fair direetors might offer bo return the many favors which they have received from congress by keeping the exposition open for tho benefit of memters of congress until, by the repeal of the Shermun silver’ purchase law, they shall have earned a recess to attend the great fair. Such an offer might pos- sibly prove to be the crowning induce- ment to speedy action on the repeal bill, SILVER senators are said to have as- serted their readiness to resort to force, if necossury, to maintain what they love to term ‘“‘theiv rights” in the scnate. The peopls are not yet prepared for an appeal to arms on the monotary ques- tion. They have other means at hand whereby they can ultimately coutrol the legislation of congress, as some of the recaleitrant members will learn to their sorrow when they seek re-clection, I7 18 eaid that the Chinese refused to utilizo the year that wasallotted for them to register because of mistaken ad- vice. The justification for an extension of the designated time by six months rests on the inference that they will no longer follow mistaken legal advice, In- cidentally, too, the United States hopes to save the millions of money that would be necessary should it undertake to de- port all that ave now in this country. But if the Chinese still refuse to regis- ter, what then —_— BOND investnent companies in these Trparts do not propose to abandon the fleld without a contest. They persist- ently assert theiv right to exist and do business, and have had the temerity to challenge the sincerity of Tue BEE in wndt8 rocent strictures upon their ques- tionable mothods of dofug business. The local ageuts of these proscribed con- dorns have charged that THe BEE'S op- position to them is inspired by officers of local building associations and insur- ance agents. They can hardly hope to convince their dupes that such is the case. Tue Bee has bad abundant grounds for warning the public against these boud investment companice. Booner or later they wust go. THE _OMAHA DAILY BEE TU RESPONSIDILITY FOR REPEAL. Advices come from Washington to the effeot that certain democratic sena- j tors are trying to induce their fellow democrats in the senate to unite upon a compromise substitute for the repeal bill and to male the proposed substitute a strictly party measure. Theic sup- posed object in attempting this is mere party aggrandizement, They have seen the cause of unconditional repeal patri- otically supported by their republican colleagues, but, having reaped the ad- | vantage of their assistance throughout the prolonged fight, they are becoming feartul lest the republicans may possibly gain some credit for their unselfish This is a democratic adminis- , say they, and the must have all the credit for whatever legislation is enacted. This ruse, however, is altogether too transparent to have the offect which its promoters desire: Just as to the re- publicans in the scnate we owe it that the house bill providing for the free and unlimited coinage of silver was defeated in 1890, 50 we owe it to them that the cause of unconditional repeal was not throttied so soon as the Wilson bill came up from the lower house. Sound money newspapers in the east, without regard to politics, have not hesitated to acknowledze this, and all the efforts which the democratic senators may put forth to rob the republicans of the credit already gained will be unavail- ing. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald is not afraid to portray the facts exactly asthey are. In one of his nt letters he sald: “A majority of the democratic representatives were for free and unlim- ited coinage of fiat silver dollars. With- out republican votes the bill would have never got through. A majovity of the democratic senators are against repeal and in favor of fiat money. To pass the senate vepeal depends upon the repub- leans. Inasmuch as the legislative ma- chinery is in the hands of the democrats the repeal bill cannot be said to have been at any stage in the hands of its friends.” For the democrats to step in now with a compromise and to claim the credit of saving the country from the evil effects of the Sherman silver pur- chase law will be the height of impu- dence of which only the democratic sen- ators are capablo. The demoeratic party has a majority in both houses of congressand it will justly be held responsible for the out- come of the struggle for vepeal. The republican scuators have already done move than their duty. They have earned all the lit which has been bestowed on them, Upon the democratic senators will be the blame in case repeal fails. The country will hotd them responsible for every concession made in the direc- tion of the free coinage of silver. THE MAJORITY MUST RULB. The spectacle that has been presented to tho American people during the past few weeks, of a handful of determined free silver senators completely blocking. the wheels of legislation in the United States senate, has called forth no end of protests against this apparent subyver- sion of our popular institutions. Debate on the question of sound currency ver: unsound currency, instead of pro- ceeding upon the merits of the proposed legislation, has been transformed ina considerable degree into one re- specting thoe relative rights of the ma- jority and minorvity in that body. Few, indeed, deny that it is the chief function of our upper house of congress to dis- cuss every proposal with the fullest deliberation and 10 subject the various features to a most thorough and search- ing investigation. So long as the de- bate proceeds upon these lines and keeps in view the ultimate aim of securing a vote which shall be the untrammeled and intelligent expression of the differ- ent members of the senate there can be no complaint that the demands of the people are not receiving due considera- tion. But when the intention of the de- baters is to delay instead of to expedite, whether in permitting such dilatory proceedings the senate is fulfilling vhe functions imposed upon it by the federal constitution, stands open to serious ques- tion. ‘On this point we have re ntly had the views of two of the most widely recognized living authovities upon American constitutional law, and both agree that the spirit of that document is averse to what is now resulting in the practical rule of the minority. Ex-Sen- ator Edmunds, who is conceded to stand highest among the practitioness before the United States supreme court, while insisting upon the importance of the right of free and unhampered diseussion in the senato, sees no reason why that right should be openly abused, . *I think it very important to the public interest,” says he, ‘*‘that the full and honest liberty of debate for the sake of the subject, but not for the sake of pre- venting action on the subject, should be preserved. If a rule can be framed which shall preserve this just and necessary liborty, and at the same time exclude fuctions and revolutionany opposition to the will of the majority of the representatives of the states, it cer- tafnly ought to be adopted.” Judge Cooley, the eminent expounder of constitutional law, gces even further than this. In his view the pringiple that the majority must rule lies at the very base of our national existence. He “Ifitis true that the majority cannot force a vote a revolution has in some manner been effected in the gov- ernment—it is no longer the govern- ment our fathers created, but one so changed by one iegislative body that a minority in thatbody may, at pleasur defeat any legislative measure, I feel humiliated as an American citizen— more than that, I feel robbed of liberties that would never have been voluntarily surrendered by the people. The consti- tution is violated in one of its most im- portant particulars.” 1f we will only follow the opposing argument to its 1c cal conelusion we will soon see the difil- culties to which it would nocessarily lead. If the minority can prevent legis- lation on any one subject it ean do s0 on every subjeet, By filibustering upon the appropriation bills it can reduce the govermment to practical starvation and force the other departments to yield to its every demand. In other words, the democrats | minority is given the power which be- longs only to a majority. View it from whatever standpoint you will, the position assumed by the free silver senators is unjustifiable in every particular. Their right to continue a legitimate discussion has neve: been challenged and never can bo success- fully. But the time must come when the senate rules will provide for a deter- mination without debate of the question whether the discussion has become dila- tory only, and for an immediate vote upon the measure that has occasioned the obstructionist tactics. In this way only can the constitutional right of the majority to rule be properly safeguarded and preserved WHAT DO THEY A local divine who has lived in Omaha scarcely long enough to learn the names of principal streets presumes to condemn the action of the republican city conven- tion and to denounce the man who graces the head of the ticket nominated by that convention. That this attack was ill- considered and made upon a false as- sumption of fact will be conceded by two-thirds of the voters of this city. The preacher who gave voice to it cannot be qualified to speak upon the subject of municipal politics; he has listened to but one side of a prejudiced case and formed conclusions hastily, which later on he must necessarily amend if he has a high regard for good government and belidves in properly rewarding honest and faithful servants of the people. Mayor Bemis has in the past shown that his ideas upon the subject of sup- pressing social vices do not comport with those of the most radical reformers in this city. He believes that his method is more practicable than theirs, and in this belief he has the support of the great majority of our citizens. He has hoen outspoken on the subject and has never hesitated to express his firm couvictions in tho premises. His prede- cessors have either evaded or straddled the issue, and his opponent on the democratic ticket may also be expected to dodge it. The firm and logical position taken by Mayor Bemis on the anti-vice question has subjected him to criticism at the hands of a few pastors of churches in this city. They do not stop to consider the invaluable services rendered by him the past two years. They do not know that they are playing into the hands of democratic politicians, whose only ob- ject and design is to elect a man for mayor who is expected to deliver the city over to the control of railroad and franchised corporations and contractors on public works that they may again loot the city treasury and evade the pay- ment of their just and equitable propor- tion of taxes. Thay do not stop to con- sider that Mayor Bemis by Ris veto power has for two years stood as a faith- ful sentinel of the taxpayers of this city, guarding well their interests and pro- tecting them against fraudulent claim- ants and systematic ‘raids upon the treasury. We ask these people who express dis- satisfaction at Mayor Bemis beeause of his views upon the true remedy for so- cial vices what they expect to gain by such opposition? Has the democratic nomince given promise that he will sup- port them in their contention? If he has, is there any positive assurance that he will keep faith with them? Is there anything in the history of local political events the past five years that leads to the conclusion that a democratiec mayor would, if elected, adopt the radical meas- ures advocated by these crities of Mayor Bemis? THE BEE believes that it is advocat- ing an honest and compotent administra- tion of city affairs when it appeals to all good citizens regardless of politics to vote for the re-election of George §JP. Bemis, INDICTED BOND PROMGTERS. The federal grand jury of Chicago has returned indictments against the officers, past and present, of the Guar- anteo Investment company of Nevada, Mo., for violation of the lottery laws, This on was not unexpected for the reason that the indicted ofiicials wore the most active promoters ofibond swin- dles in the west. The Guarant ee Investment companyis regarded as the parent of numerical bond schemes west of the Mississippi. It obtained a charter from the state authorities of Missour1 ata time when comparatively little was known of its methods, and when the state subse- quently passed a law requiring a de- posit with thestate treasurer for the ion of investors it had secured suflicient foothold to deposit the re- quired sum, That it has been able to hold its charter at the present time is due to a lack of adequate laws enabling the authorities to take such action as the case warrants, Indeed, the author- ities have been for some time consider- ing means to rid the state of the incubas and had decided to apply to the state supreme court for an order annulling its charter. As this action requires considerable time the managers of the concern are thereby enabled to so shape their affairs us to avert the blow., The headquarters have been moved from Novada, Mo., and at preseut its base of operation is Chicago, The activity of state and federal offi- clals in exposing and prosecuting pro- moters of hond swindles is gratifying evidence of zeal in behalf of public in- terests. But the good worlk, to be thor- ovghly effective, must be continued until the last bond company is squelched. Nor will it do to vely on fed- eval progecution. It is trifdng labor for vond pronioters to evade the lottery law. Dropping the multiple system and sub- stituting the consecutive payment plan will accomplish this, but it will not change the priociple underlying the whole scheme. Until adequate state laws are secured every means should be employed to keep the people informed and aroused. The action of the federal grand jury in Chicago, following similar action in Denver, coupled with the warnings uttered by the officials of Missouri, Kan- &as and Nebraska, can bardly fail to put & damper on the operations of bond pro- moters and hasten bankruptey and the penitentiary. OUR misguided local contemporary Las queer ideas of political conveuntions. It has gulped dawn and endorsed in ex- travagant langwaye every local demo- cratie ticket putiap, while it has nothing but sweeping condemnation for every other party tickot.: Now, the truth of the matter is, thdté never was a city or county ticket nominated in this neck o' woods that could balabeled all good, and there have been’ foW tickets put up that could with fairness be stigmatized as all bad. There are’ good men on both re- publican and democratic tickets as they now stand, and ‘we regret to say that there are some mighty mean men on both tickets. It id a duty which eve newspaper owes to its patrons to sepa- rate the shecp from the goats. No local party has a corner on immaculate candi- dates. The voters of this community want to know the truth and if tho news- papers are not broad enough and honest enough to tell them of the good and the bad they will get the information in an- other way. We are gratified to be able to say In this connection that the repub- lican, city and county tickets this year show a vast improvement over former offorts in that line, as will be clearly demonstrated on olection day. The ad- vice of THE BEE is to give honest re- publican candidates the preference at all times. THE BEE has been sharply criticised in a loeal church paper for its faithful chronicle of a recent prize fight. The pulpit and the press can never hope to agree on the question of the true prov- ince of a newspaper. It is quite us rational to expect a newspaper on moral grounds to suppress reports of negro lynchings as to expect it to ignore a prize fight. Both are sinful and in vio- lation of law. One is condemued quite as much as the other. paper has yot been charged with the re- sponsibility of either, yet thousands of newspapers have published minute ac- counts of many such events, along with editorial condemnation. Owing to the hostility of the presy of this city and state to prize fighters as a class a law was enacted upon our statutes prohibit- ing the prize ving, the effect of which has been to rid this community of a moat undesirable class of people. The voice of the press of this city has ever beon raised against the prizs ring. Its in- fluence has been most powerful in sup- pressing the vice, and it is safo to say that had not the press taken a firm stand agaivst it the short-haived fraternity would have remained to disgrace this community. Ir1s very gratifying to local pride to know that Omaha is able,’ in spite of dull tim to show a gain in bank clearings for the year thus far amonnt- ing to almo: 20,000,000, The fact that all other cities ‘west of the Mississippi, outside of Texas' and California, show enormous losses in the matter of clear- ings, brings this city intc special prom- inence. Galvelton| and Los Angeles ave the only citics within the territory mentioned to divide the honors with Omaha. The comingreial rivals of this city, botlt north and south, have failed to hold their owit during the trying times of the past three months, Omaha has risen in the rank of clearing house cities and now' stands No. 17in the list of seventy-soven cities. Cities that have been held up before Omaha as models of business cnergy and pros- perity, like St. Paul, Denver, Duluth and St. Joseph, have fallen way below her in the matter of clearings. Every comparison between Omahaand other western cities leads to renewed confi- dence in the future prosperity of this city. WE ARE told that tho republicans in the Nebraska congressional delogation expect some action to be taken on the award of the contract for the federal building at Omaha this week. Peopls of all political parties in this vicinity have been expecting this to happen almost every day for months past. Their curiosity would be greatly re- lieved by some authoritative informa- tion as to how much longer they must wait. ‘Well We Should Smile, Kansas City Times (dem.), Is this democracy?

In any event, here goes for Holcomb, the popu- ist nominee," - he “‘quiet” campaign now being waged for Harrison is under the direction of Brad Slaughter, but he has some assistants, and the Silver Creek Times says of them: “With the potent assistance of the railronds and the state offictals who didn't got kicked out of office, he will no doubt seo that that gen- tleman is triumphantly elocted to a seat on the suprema bench.” W. H. Korns of the Burt County Herald is another editor who feels upset over the late state convention, He evidently has been hit hard, for he says: ““Poor devils, despised mongrel puppets, shawme-faced conscience- cursed scapegoats, wicked, depraved, knavish tools, men devold of homor. judg- ment or sense, who sell their votes and themselves for the romise of & postoftice, “God hates a coward. " John C. Santee, who has flopped from ono party to another more times than any other man in Nebraska, and who has usually made 4 little something by the deal, turned up at the recent democratic state convention as a delégate from Bovd county. He made his entrance on a proxy, and when the fact was discovered in Butte, a howl went up which feund this echo in the columns of the Ga- ho two men responsible for this k Santeo's record, knew the public sentiment against him, yet in the face of all ailowed the disreputable old rascal to posc at the state convention as an honored mom- ber of the democratic party. It is enough to make a man deny his God, forsake his party and refuse to beliove there 18 honor in man after such transactions. D — DEGRADATION OF THE SENATE. Clicago Tribune: What is called the “‘courtesy of the seuate,” or more correctly the imbeellity of suporannuated slugeards, has perverted, distorted and taken the hfe out of every senatorial rule framed for the purpose of doing business. Like the dog which tangled himself up in the ball of yarn till ie could not free himsclf, the senate b been enmeshing itself in rules and ‘“courte- sies” which paralyze its nction. New York Tribune: At leagt one thing was demonstrated in the cou of the long on of the senate yesterday—namely. in spite of the ‘rule requiring eve member present to vote the is power- less to compel a senator to vote if he refuses todoso. The ruleis specific enough, but, as there is no penalty for vioiating it, it is to all intents and purposes a dead lettor. It 18 becoming more and move evideut that the rules and practices of the senate are in neea of thorough-going revision. New York Times: When Louis Napoleon, president of the Frencn republic, shut the doors of the French assembly against the representatives of the peoplo his geti in intent exactly the same as the action of thes> men, Important as is the direct ques- tion of legislation involved, it is far less im- portant than vhe question of the rights of the people which the minovity secks to de- Aud that is vhe supreme reason why ompromise or concession, under the ess of this outrageous procedure, is sur- render and must not be wolerated.
