So long as the Sherman silver purchase law remains uncepealed this inevitable tendency must continue to manifest itself. WHILE the bankers and the farmers are simultaneously holding congresses in Chicago, they might do well to get together and tell each other how to con- Auct one another’s business. GE :M1S may not be a bril- liant after-dinner talker, but he has the courage of his convictions and that has been worth thousands of dollars to this community in the last twenty months. T MAY be well for taxpayers to keep their weather eyos out for that supple- mental garbage ordinance. The city has made a sufficient surrender of its rights in the original contract without yielding further concessions to the de- mands of the contractor. THE Seventh ward republicans have been smarting under the infliction of a political carbuncle every since the ro- publican city convention was held. The nomination of Peter Schwenck as a rop- rosentative Seventh warder has made them wwhully sick. They are now look- ing for a remedy, ‘WORD comes from George Gould that one receivership at a time is sufficient for the Gould interests. He asserts em- phatically that he is not yet ready to turn the management of the Missouri Pacific over to the courts. He is no doubt able to protect his intorests in that road by himself. ‘WE PRESUME that the time of the members of the State Board of Trans- portation will be so occupied from now onin helping the railroads evade the transfer switch law that they will not have leisure to push the interests of the people in the enforcement of the maxi- mum freight rate law THOSE oleven states, which, according to Senator Morgan, went out of the union not to dissent from the constitution but to preserve it, must have had about as sensible views about the wmeans best fitted to preserve the constitution as that silver senator has about the best means of effecting legislation, THAT bubble containing the false as- sertion that the supreme court was en- lavged for the express purpose of secur- ing a decision favorable to the legal tendor laws has heen once more pricked on the floor of the United States senate. But like the Seyd bribery fabrication it will continue to reappear in the remarks of public men who ought to know and do know better. And it will be believed by people who want to believe in spite of evidence of its falsity. THE people of Holt county have paid their respects to the ring that has been plundering the county treasury of the public funds in no uncertain language. Incidentally the local nowspapers, which have been aiding the conspirators to conceal their peculations, come in for a neat turn. THE BEE was the first to unearth the real enormity of the ring's operations and publish it to the world. THE Bek never shirks the duty of a newspaper to show up rascals of every sort, THE importance of having a man for mayor who will guard the interests of taxpayers and use the veto power whenever necessary for their protection was well illustrated at the last meeting of the council, when Mayor Bemis knocked out the scheme for grading down a bluff near the Missouri river, which would have cost the general tax- payers of the city upwards of $20,000, The proposed grading of Hickory street from Second street to Sixth street, as _shown by the figures in the engineer's department, would have costover $20,- 000. In addition, the construction of a soewer uunder the proposed grading would have been required at a cost of about $11,000, thus making a total cost ~ of 831,000, thereby diverting a very large sum of money from other more nmeeded improvements in the city, | commenting upon the rallroad function cases say that a recout ateack Hpon the Altoryey gensral for not moving to dismiss the njunctions was uncalied for; 1 that Judgo Dundy had gons over the cases carefully hefore jssuing the injunctions and hield that thay wero proper oases; that it would have been a wasic of timo for tho at- torney generai to have made such & motion 1ony now abaut to be ta Hevald, Altorneys com m the rail- wad Injunction say a great deal, but what they say i notal- ways pertinent nor true. Il any at- torney has peblicly spoken in the lan- guage liers quoted he s taken to have recelved his inspiration oither from the railrond offices or from some one un the outside who is trying to eurry favor with the railroads and their at- torneys ses undoubtedly ma, iod that the attorney gen- cral is jostified in neglecting tho intor- ests of the people of this state beeause it wouid have been a waste of iime to move for a dissolution of the restraining orders on the ground of lack of jurisdic- tion untii the dilatory depositions which are about to be taken are all in. And the reason why it would have beena waste of time Is that Judge Duudy went over the cases carefully befors issning the injunction and held that they were proper cases, Let us just rovert to the facts in the controversy as they were re- ported at tho timo they occurved. The application was filed on behalf of the pe- titioners some time after Judge Dundy opened his court on Saturday, July 22, The report continues: After considering the matter during tho afternoon Judge Dundy granted the applica- tion for the restraining order and the writ was issued Just baforo the judge teft for home last evening. Copies were at once made ouv and placed in the hands of the marshal, who caused them to be served im- meaiately on the general freight ageuts ot the four interested roads and such other ofticers as conld be reached. The consideration given to the peti- tion by Judge Dundy before granting the restraining order was only of a per- functory nature. No one was heard upon the opposing side. He had no real diseretion to refuse a temporary in- junction 50 long as a colorable case was made out and the papevs drawn up in the requisite legal form. The question of jurisdiction was in no way involved at that time, but was reserved for argu- ment when the question of making the order permanent should be heard. Outside of the paragraph relating to the jurisdiction of the federal court, in- cluded in the series of answers filed beginning August 19, not one claim velating to that subject has been made by the state's attorneys. They have not appeared at all before the court to move the dissolution of the injunction on any ground whatever, and not until they do appear can they bring up the contention of no jurisdiction. On the other hand, we may ask, What has the attorney general done to pro- tect the interests of the people under the maximum freight rate law? Ho has filed his answer to the several peti- tions of the railroad attorneys. He is said to be prepared to take depositions bearing on the question of reasonable rates. He has frittered away three months of precious time while the peo- ple are groaning under exorbitant freight rates. Having filed his answers on August 19 ho has had ever since Sep- tember 11, when the court reconvened, to move for a dissolution of the in- junction, but he has been afraid such a motion might be a *‘waste of time.” The attorney general has beon wast- ing time on so many side issues that he can afford to devote a few moments to a motion that may prove successful in put- ting the new law into operation. The question of jurisdiction has to be de- cided before the court can listen to arguments on other grounds in case jurisdiction is finally assumed. It has not yet been decided or even argued. It may as well be decided now as deferred for the benefit of the railroads. THE FORE Senator Mills was entirely right when he declared in the senate on ‘Wednesday that the question in which the American people have the deepest intevest today is whether the majority or the minority of the legislative branch of the government shall rule. He said it was useless, in the presence of this ques- tion, to discuss the wisdom or the unwis- dom of the repeal of the Sherman law. The government is ina state of paralysis, alilegislation is blocked'and the majority sits still *‘like children,” as the Texas senator expressed it, and pormits this state of affairs to continue, He did not Dlame the minority. The blame belongs to the men who have the power, if they would but exert it, to breuk the deadlock, remove the puralysis and give the country the relief it is so eagerly hoping for. According to the most trustworthy analysis there arve forty- nino senators irrevocably committed to unconditional repeal, a majority of thir- teen. These represcnt the great major- ity of the people on this question, and the general sentiment is that they have the constitutional right to cavry their will into effect. They know all this, and they also know that the country is suffering in its business and its prosperily from the failure of the senate to aoct, Yot there is not a democrat among this majority who has the courage to take the step that would compel a vote on the pending measure, although every man of them must know that the country would ap- prove any action that might be taken, consistent with the constitutional rights of the majority, to bring about this re- sult. There has never been exhibited in any legislative body such cowardice and imbecility as the supporters of repeal in the senate ase showing. In an interview a fow days ago Judge Cooley of Michigan said that in view of the intention of the founders of the con- stitution that the majority in each house of congress should control the delibera- tions of that house, for & majority of the senate to concede for any reason thata rule of practice in debate or of senatorial courtesy malkes it possible for a minority to prevent logislation by indefinitely pro- longing debate is equal to revolution. ‘It s as much revolution,” said the dis- tinguished jurist and expounder of the constitution, ‘“‘as though accomplished with arms and violence. If the minority F OMAHA DATLY BER FRIDAY can postpone legislation for one session, they mav for a second and soon. The majority canuot, constitutionally, con- codo ths existence of a rule of custom | which Is subversive of their right and duty of logislation.” Can there bs a doubt in the mind of any one who knows anything about the prime principle of representative goverrment, which 1is that the majority shall rule, as to the soundness of the opinion of Judge Cooley? The course of the sonate is obviously and undeniably revolutionary, and the sooner the American people get to fully realize and understand this the better for the ity of representa- tive government. There is, indeed, danger to our institutions when a minority in the legislative branch of the govermmnent can disvegard and defy the popular will, as is now being done by the free silver senators, and for an in- definito time block the way against all legislation, ON DECENT LINE: The friends of Mr. Bedford want to have the mayoralty contest fought onton decent lines, That is precisely what tho savporters of Mayor Bemis want. But Mr. Bedford's lightweight cham- pion does not how know tokeep within the bounds of decency and proprioty. 1t started out on a campaign of indecenvy the day after Mr. Bedlord was nomi- nated. Tt charged with a great flourish of trumpets that over $5,000 had been contributed by keepers of disordorly houses in the burnt district to cavry the Third ward for Mayor Bemis in the primaries. The charge is u buse fabrication. No such fund was raised by Seth Colo or any other man and nobody in the Third ward was asked to put up money for a Bemis delegation. Every polltician conversant with the fact knows that both republican factions in the Third ward headed their tickets with “Bemis for mayor,” and both were outspoken in favor of Bemis justas much as were the delegates in the [Mivst and Fourth wards whose tickets were headed for Bemi, The entive fight in the Third wavd centered upon candidates for the council, and was fought out as between the supporters and opponents of Coun- cilman Prince. Another very indecent and despicablo thing in the present campaign is the scandal sought to be fastened on Mayor Bemis by Mr. Bedford's supporters through the medium of a candidate on the democratic city ticket who bears some resemblance in person to the mayor. This individual has been intro- duced in the burnt district as Mayor Bemis, and a great deal of diversion has been afforded to "young bloods and old sports by this masquerade. At the same time the story has been purposely civcu- | lated among the respectable class of citizens that Mayor Bemis is a common frequenter and patron of disorderly houses, and makes no bones “about hav- ing himself introduced as mayor to the habitues of these resorts. The tongue of slander has never uttered a baser libel. It strikes us that such campaigning exceeds even the bounds of indecency. There is a limit to all things, and it is to be hoped that Mr. Bedford will have influence enough with his rakish asso- ciate on the democratic civy ticket to make him desist from personating Mayor Bemis.in resorts ot questionable repute. LABURING UNDER LUSION. Councilman Hascall is still making a very active campaign among laboring men who are out of work. Many of these working men are deluded with the idea that Hascall as mdyor would have millions at his command to be expended for public works and street improve- monts. They do not seem to realize that the mayor cannot put a dollar into the city treasury that is not legally levied upon the property of taxpayers. He cannot pay out a dollar unless it is to be expended in pursuance of an appropria- ton ordinance and in conformity with the charter. This much can be done by any mayor, ‘With Hascall as mayor there would be a good deal less money at the com- mand of the city for public improve- ments than with a man who pursues business methods in the conduct of pub- lic affairs and does not venture into reckless projects. It is doubtful whether a dollar of bonds would be voted by the people for public improve- ments so long as Hascall oceu- pied the mayor's chair. Taxpay- ers would not be willing to take the risk of having the proceeds invested in orazy quiltstructures and wildeat experi- ments, It is certainly not too harsh to refer to air castles and bastions which Mr. Hascall has erected in Omaha and upon which he has thrown away a for~ tune, Another thing that the working peo- ple donov realize is that it is question- able whether city bonds would be sale- able if Hascall were to be mayor, The credit of a city, like that of any indi- vidual, depends upon confidenc Hascall as mayor the city's cr suffer a relapse by reason of a want of confidence and the well-grounded fear that fast and loose methods would pre- vail in the city hall during his admin- istration. THE penalty clause of the transfer switch law went into effect on the ex- piration of sixty days after August 1. “The penalties, therefore, have now been aceruing for just twenty days. Com- puting the fine at its minimum of $50 per day, the Burlington road is now debtor to the general school fund of the state for its neglect to put in switches as required by law at sixty-three points to the small sum of $63,000. Does the management of that road think that it is properly conducting the business of the company in the interests of its stockholders? COHICAGO municipal authorities have brought the franchised corporations which have pipes or wires under the streets to agree to arbitrate the sum which they ought to contribute toward paying for street ropairs wade necessary by their excavations, Tn this city the greater part of our street repairs are necessi- tated by the poor work performed by the agents ot our franchised corporations when pretending to restore the surface after they have cut into it. This negli- gence has cost Omaha thousands upon housands of doll; and many of our streets are still fi'd most wretched cons dition owing to this very abuse. The franchised corporations in this city ought to be comfhlled to restore the street surface to.as good a condition as before they sev absnt to mutilate it, and they ought to be foreed to indemnify the city for the huge expenditures that their misuse of privilege has entailed. EVERY day brings further evidence of the mismanagement of the proceedings attendant upon the dpening of the Cher- okee Strip. We are now told that hundreds of unfortunates are drifting into the towns of Oklahoma and Kansas, reduced to beggary by the falso expec- tations of securing boundless wealth by merely seizing upon it when the gov- ernment should say the word. Deluded in their hopes, they are now becoming charges upon the charitable residents in the neighborhood. The rush for free land has proved no more successful on the occasion of opening the Cherokee Strip thanon the numerous previous dis- graceful occasions, CASTING reflections upon the profes- sional farmer, who knows how to organ- ize banks, who knows how to manago railroads, who knows how to reform the currency, who knows how to prevent panics, who knows how to run the gov- ernment, in fact, who knows how to do everything but farming, is not likely to enhance tho popular estimation of the man who rode into President Cleve- land’s cabinet posing as a farmer. The secretary of agriculture may not belong toa grange or alliance, but his knowledge of practical farming might possibly be increased were he admitted to their membership. A Quaker Slogun.

Wednesday afternoon, about 3:80 o’clock, a page brought him a cup of brown liquid. It looked like good, strong coffee, and he sipped it from a spoon. The ealleries watched the operation with great mterest and divided into two hostile camps, coffee and beef tea, with a few populist opin- ious in the direction of rum and molasses. But it was evidently refreshing, and as the senator walked toward the door to hand the cup and saucer back to a page he put the cup to his lips and tilted his head back as he walked. The last drops were drained. There was a spoonful of half melted sugar in the bottom of the cup, and he got it. It tasted us sweet as in boyhood’s happy days when he learned the trick.

Mr. Fred Drexelof Omaha has telegraphed Senator Manderson asking whother his presence in Washington might not assist in tne solution of the difliculty, and the senator today advised him to come on at once.. There is u general impression among persons inter- ested in_public buildings for which appro- priations have been made that the Treasury department has either expended the money approvriated or is throwing obstacles iu the way of continuing work, in_order that the declining balance in the treasury may not be further impaired.

Philadelphin Record: The senate scoms to have lost not only the power to logislate, but also the right to control its own parlia: mentary methods. Philadelphia Press: In ovder to get a vote on any phase of the question at 1ssue it is necessary to offer a bounty to the silver states, in order that the half-dozen obstruct- fng senators magy permiv the sonate to lave avote.

And to understand what determines the course of 1hose southern democrats we must go out- side of the list of ordinary motives that govern the actions of public men and of par- tisans, What can it be? Globe-Democrat: This is a period of democratic rule, let it be remembered. All of the means and apphances of logislation are 1 possession of the party that carried the last election on definite promises of use- ful sorvice to tho people. That party b now been in power for over seven mont with an issue of the highest importance staving it in the face, and it hasnot yet found a way to passa bill which only needs to be voted upon in order to become a law.
