WE commend the assessment laws of Nebraska to the prayerful consideration . of the men elccted assessors in this city. Theve is some mighty good reading in the state rovenue laws. ENGLISHMEN are becoming impatient at the slow way in which the House of Commons proceeds with its business. They should have been in this country during the senate silver debate. ONE of the principal results of the latest change in the Union Pacific re- ceivership is that its patrons and ship- pors will be called upon to-contribute to the salaries of five receivers instead of three only. JUDGING from the enormous majority received by Drexel it would secm as if tha $150 paid by the republican county committee for 3,000 copies of the World- Herald with Baker's exonervation on the night before election was not a very good investment. I 1S said that the administration at ‘Washington has abandoned its intention of insisting upon cloture in the senate. This may be all the more reason why Benator Hill will attempt to push his vesolutions calling for such amendment of the senate rules. THE time is coming in Nebraska when the statutes will fix a heavy penalty upon any man or set of men who declare a boycott against one of their fellow citizens. The practice is pornicious, barbarous and unamerican. It cannot thrive on American soil. WirH Texas protesting vigorously against free wool, Louisiana against free sugar, Alabama against freo iron ore and Virginia against free coal, und the ontire solid south against any increase “n the internal revenue taxes, tho ways -aud means corimittee is having a protey «hard time of it. ANOTHER stato asylum boodler has been acquitted. The ease with which the men who have swindled the state have escaped perhaps explains the anx- iety of others who are suspected of owing the state large amounts to have the cases agalast them transferred to the Lancaster county courts, Ir 18 somewhat significant that the few instances of jury fixing that have come to light the past year show cor- porations to have been the beneficiaries. Is it right that the tools used by these companies should alone suffer punish- ment, while the principals are permitted 40 hide behind a shiela of eminent re- spectability? SENATOR MARTIN of Kansas says that the people are foolish to blame the ad- ministration in power for the present unsatisfactory condition of affawrs, be- cause up to November the democrats had not enacted a single importunt law. Senator Murtin overshoots the mark. The democrats are blamed for the legis- lation they neglected to enact. THE State Historical society is en- titled to tho hearty encouragement of every citizen of the state. It is not yet too late togather material for im- portant chapters in the history of the state from the participants in the stir- riug events of a quarter of a century #go. Contributions from men who activoly participated in the formation of the state should be secured before they are called away for 11l time to come. THERE¥eems to have been s minia- ture hornet’s nest raised among the Central Awmerican republics by the ve- cent action of Honduras in firing upon the United States flag. The animus of Honduras has been turned from the United States to Nicaragua, which is aocused of harboring refugees. This, however, is no offense at international law, however great a breach of comity it may be. Honduras can afford to with- hola its wrath for awhile longer. | dependent party il RV G AN ORGANIZED PROTEST The current political discussion in Ne- hracka since the results of the election have become known seems th partake of the natuve of premature exultation over the alleged demise of thn‘nvnph"u inde- pendent™party in this statd®® [t is tacitly agreed by enthusiastic but short-sighted republican cditors, who have taken no pains to subject the political situation in Nebraska to a eritical analysis, that the result of the recent election proves un- mistakably that the strength of the in- is on the wane: thatthe defoat of Judge Holcomb marks the turning point in the history of that party: and that it is no longer to be con- sidored as an important factor in future political contests in this state. The situation as it exists today, in the light of the ults of the recent elec- tion, is worthy of serious and sarnest consideration. THE BEE has never sub- seribed to the political tenets of the in- dependent party. On the contrary, it has always opposed its subtreasury, fiat money and wild cat currency schemes. It has unsparingly oriticised the reck- loss extravaganco of the independent legislature of 1891, exposed the corrup- tion of many of its most prominent leaders, and showed up in their true character the vulnerablo candidates of that party in previous campaigns. With these facts in view, it will readily be granted that Tre Brg, more than any newspaper in Nebraska, is in a position to speak faivly and from an unbiased standpogt. Two years ago, when the demoerats had no candidate for supreme judge and fully two-thirds of those voting sup- ported 13dgerton, the populist candidate received 1 votes and the republican candidate 76,447. The national cam- paign of last year drew out the full strength of all parties. The republican presidential electors received an aver- age of 86,805, while the ropublican state officers averaged 80,575 votes. Auditor Moore received 82 and Governor Crounse 78,426, The populist average in the state last year, as computed on the basis of the vote for state ofticers, was 62, 298, while the demooratic average, com- puted on the same basis. was 48, Un- official returns for this year indicate that Harrison has 72,579, Holcomb 65,307, Irvine 37,654. The prohibition vote this year is within a fraction the same as it Was two years ago. In other words, son's vote falls 14,316 below for Benjamin Harrison electors, and nearly 8,000 below the average for re- publican state officers in 1892, Crediting Judge Harrison with the 10 per cent drop from the aggregate vote of last year, he still falls behind over 6,000 on the presidential vote of last year. The decline in the domocratic vote this year, as compared with last year, exceeds 11,000, and deducting therefrom the 10 per ceut drop still leaves 6,373 votes to be accounted for. It is safe tosay that more than one-half of these, or over 3,000, went to Harrison, so that the actual republican vote for Harrison was only about 69,000, or 9,000 less than were cast for the lowest candidate on the state ticketa year ago. These 9,000 represent an absolute defection by reason of the defeat of Maxwell. There +is nothing in the election re- turns to warrant the assumption that the .people’s independent party in Ne- braska is losing ground to any extent, or to warrant the presumption that the repubtican party has gained in strength. In state elections Nebraska has never been a populist state. Numerically that party is just as strong as it was last year and stronger than it was two [t knows no factional differenc organization is in many respects more compaet. It is destined to play an im- portant part in next year's campaign, for it stunds as u thoroughly organized protest against the further encroach- ment of corporate influence upon the administration of the state’s affairs. It stands as a significant menace to the disreputable political mothods of the men who by the result of the last election gained a tem porary advantage over the people. It today an organized protest against cor- porate control of the executive, legisla- tive and judicial dopartments of the state government. [ts subtreasury schemes, its wild cat currency theories, ave of no consequence. It is the ster- ling, unpurchasable integrity of the men who compose the rank and file of its party organization that plants the party across the pathway of unreflecting parties and mercenarics marching under the banners of corporate power. THE BEE is not attempting to foster the strength of a political organivation that is regarded by many as a standing menace to the prosperity and credit of the state. It is not seeking by fulsome flattery to perpetuate or encourage a party that might be unable to wisely manage the affairs of the state if placed in power. It merely points out the fal- lacy of the assumption that the inde- pendent party is no longer a factor in political contests in Nebraska, It does this because it believes that it is the better part of wisdom for the republican party to measure the full strongth of its opponent rather than to permit itsell to be lulled to sleep in fancied security by the exultation of short-sighted men who are unabie to look beneath the surface of existing political conditions. Republicans of Nebraska had better heed the warning. Tt is made now be- cause the agents of the corporations in Nebraska are already actively at work upon their plans to pursue the tem- porary advantage they gained at the polls November 7. Judge ALL honest men 1 Nebraska will read of the acquittal of another member of the indicted gang 'of asylum boodlers with a blush of shame and indignation. Of all the men who have looted the state treasury no one has worked more openly than Farm Boss Hubbard. His guilt was so evident that whon the ex- posure came he fled from the state. Afterwards he returned and gave him- self into custody, and it was generally understood that he was willing to turn state’s ovidence. Then he concluded to stand his trial. The evidence was positive. And yet a Lancaster county Jjury acquitted him. His acquittal, fol- lowing 80 closely upon the aequittal of his fellow boodlers, and the complete THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: exoneration of the members of the | State Board of Public Lands and Build- ings, whose carelessness alono made the frands possible, amounts to public notice that the dishonest contractors are free to ply thoir infamouns traffic at the state capital with impunity. WHY THEY WERE DE urprise has been oxpressed that the lats election resulted 1n the defeat of two such good men as Judge Dufffie and Mr. Curtis, notwithstanding the fact that they had the active support of the lawyers of the district as well as party nominations behind them. Aside from the fact that Judge Ambrose is an old ecitizen possessing much personal strength, while Judge Blair enjoyed the sup port of the World-Herald, it night as well bo stated now that the primary cause of the defeat of the bar nominees was resentment on the partof the people at the attempt of the bar to dictate the selection of judges and throttle popular choice at the polls. The result is a protest againstthe attempt by the bar to abolish the popular election of the judiciary.— World-Hopald. The olection returns show conclusively that this is all the veriest rot. One of the nonparvtisan candidates, Mr. Curtis, carcied Douglas county over Judge Blalr, the highest partisan nominee, by 238, Judge Duftie, the second nonpar- tisan candidate, beats Ambrose in Doug- las county by 58 votes, and comes within 202 of Judge Blair in Douglas county. The wonderful influence of the W.-H. in its support of Blair, measured by the difference between Judge Blair's vote and the vote for Ambrose, is just 260. As a matter of fact the support of that sheot did not eut any figure whateve There were more than 260 stalwart ve- publicans in Omaha who knew Ambrose long enough and well enough not to vote for him for a position on the bench. Tt may as well be said now as two years hence that Mv. Ambrose will be taken only on probation and it will depend upon his ability to sustain himself against temptation whether he will get a full term or be retived at the end of 1805, The candidates for a nonpartisan ju- diciary were defeated in Burt county, where no active canvass had been made in their behalf, while a very lively still hunt was made by and for their oppon- ents. The result is not a protest against nonpartisan judges, but ‘merely & proof that the fight over city and county offi- cers distracted attention from the ju- diciary to the municipal and county flesh pots. Nonpartisan judges have usually been elected in this district, and the principle is not likely'to be weak: ened by two or three miscues. N T A LAWLESS STATE. Two unfortunate events in the recent local history of Nebraska have given the eastern press an opportunity to com- ment unfavorably upon the alleged dis- regard with which the people of Ne- braska look upon the law. The Osceola incident, followed as it was by the ill- advised uprising at Plattsmouth, in which two confessed murderers would have suffered death at the hands of the mob but for the timely action of the sheriff of Cass county, have enabled tho Inter Otean to gravely diseuss the ‘rev- erence due to law” and the ‘‘low moral tone of the community” in two very pointed editorials. The Chicago editorials referred to are timely in so favas their application is directed to the country at large, but in 50 far as they seck to fasten the stigma of lawlessness upon Nebraska alone they arve misdirected efforts. It is true that men have been lynched in Nebraska. So they have in other stutes east of the Mississippi river. It is likewise true that in a solitary instance a community has been provoked into the adoption of the questionable methods: of the white caps of Indiana. But instances of mob violence ave as rare in Nebraska as in any state west of the Alleghanies. The Chicago paper falls into a com- mon error respecting the western states. It has become the fashion to ascribe to the states west of ‘the Miesouri river a recklessand lawless spirit. And yet the great crimes which have shocked the entire country have been perpetrated in the older states. The disposition to ap- peal to the summary administration of lynch law cannot be located by geograph ical rules. Thedeplorable assassination of Mayor Carter Harrison wrought the people of Chicago into a frenzy of fury that impelled the authovities of that city to adopt extraordinary precautions to prevent the summary execution of the assassin at the hands of a mob; and in some of the most brutal crimes ever committed in Nebraska the law has been permitted 1o take its course without question, . The Chicago philosopher has studiod human nature only upon its surfrce if he imagines that he can localize sentiment and restrict pussion by geographical metes and bounds, If he will dip a little deeper he will find that the motives which prompt men in mo- ments of frenzy to take the administra- tion of the law into their own hands recognizes neither latitude nor longi- tude. Men are very much alike, whether they live above or below Mason and Dixon’s line or east or west of the Mississippi viver, THE DIXON COUNTY BONDS. The decision of the United States su- preme court in the Dixon esunty bond cuse emphasizes and defines the doctrine of ultra vires as applied to pretended obligations of public corporations. In this case the people of Dixon county voted to issue railroad aid bonds in ex- cess of the debt limit prescribed by the state constitution. It was clear that their action in so doing musk have been unauthorized and consequeptly void, The purchasers of the bonds, however, attempted to securo an equitable claim by offering to surrender a portion of their bonds in the ratio of the excess above the constitutional limit to the total issue. As iuntcent purchasers for value they claimed that they were en- titled to every consideration which a court ol equity might allow. The contention of the bondholders does not seem to have made the desired impression on the court. The latter re- fuses to practically nullify the provi- slons of the stute constitution, notwith.- stunding the fact that it leaves the ap- pellants appavently without redress. Dixon county, in attempting to issue the bonds, acted eotirely without legal authovity and no logal rights could have arisen as againgt the county from such | action. Wh4 i‘u illegal in the first | place could scarcely be validated by any | voluntary aotien of the bondholders. Were it othenyise, what would be the object of providing constitutional re- strictions upon' ¥he power of public cor- porations to tivolve their members in debt? 1t woulgjnvite violations of the constitution for the simple reason that no penalties wonld be attached. The tendencg of the federal courts has always been t0"'zo to the farthest ex- treme in protééting the interests of the so-called innocent purchaser for value. One of the most noteworthy instances of this occurred only last year, when al Missouri judges were thrown into prison for contempt of court be- cause they refused to carry out an ovder to levy u tax for the payment of railrosd aid bonds granted by a county to aid a railroad that was never built. Tn that case the court argued that the innocent purchaser wmust b protected, even though the public had to suffer, ~ Dixon county most probably ne received the benefits which were expected and promised when the railroad aid bonds were voted. The vresent holders, at any rate, ought themselves to have guarded against taking any but legally fssued secuvities, The controversy resolves itself into a question of where the hard- ship should lie and it is gratifying in this connection tonote that the supreme court is baginning to show an adequate appreciation of the rights of the people, even though they come in conflict with the claims of the favored innocent pur- chaser for value se! THE he ivst year of Mayor Bemis' torm was havassed and nonplussed re- by a combine in the council organized from the stavt to oppose any meusure for which he contended and hamper him in the discharge of official duty. The combine was in every re- discreditable to tho city and dam- aging to the public sevvice. [t accom- plished nothing for the good of the city, but simply stood as an obstruction to any policy the mayor might propose. The result of the late election has been a lesson to the men who have for nearly two years sought to injure the standing of the mayor before the people. He triumphed over them at last, as he will again if an attempt be made to form a combine in the new council to override the mayor's will. The franchised cor- porations have great interests at stake. They will get control of the council un- less the membars ' decline all overtures from them. Their only hope is in the formation of a combine that will keep...the mayor and the council majority’ continually at cross purposes. The sponer they can bring ahout an open breach the better for their allied interests. 'Itis to be hoped the new members of, the council as well as the old will positively decline to enter into any such deal which can have but one result—the botrayal of the trust im- posed upon them:individualiy by their constituents. . Esaa— OUR treatics, of extradition, with the various ljuropean and South American countries are standing in v good servico to the United States just at present. Iimbezzlers ave finding it diffi- cult to escape the clutches of the law, notwithstanding their success in making good their cscape from the territorial jurisdiction of the federal government. It is to be hoped that the increased cer- tainty of final capture may operate to deter hesitating embezzlers from over- stepping the limits of their trust. S0 La as the anarchists confine themselves to harmless commemoration of the martyrs to their cause the law cannot intorfere with their meetings. Sunday's quiet demonstrations in the various large cities of this country must be taken as an indication that the an- archistic agitation in the United States , for the time being at least, in a con- dition of inactivity. ACCORDING to Governor Altgeid there Are noanarchists in the United States. That ali depends upon what we under- stund a8 anarchists, There are plonty of people who preach what they term anarchy, and it is -not their fault that they are unable to carry into practice the principles which they proclaim. THE success candidate for the mayoralty in Brogklyn states in his sworn affidavit of election expenses that his campaign cost him 4,617, His op- ponent most probably spent equally as much, but unfortunately has not the same result to show for his money.
