This is a point which deserves some attenticn from the legislatuve and all who ave intecested in the workings of the law.

It is quite possible that they may have exerted themselves to the bast of their abilities of guilty upon a sho s as disclosed. 1f 50, it only emphasnzes the fact that it is absolutely impossible to secure a con viction in Lineoln of one charged with plundering the state institutions, unless it is the ring to the altar of an out- 10 s any agreed among ifice a viet at aged public opinion Whether the tfials of these casos carried nto th nd or whether a nolle prosequi had baen entercd in the begin- ning, the result would probably has been the same, The only inconsisten inthe w ole roaring farce is that Gor- ham Betts, the first of the gang to b» given a hearing and against whom the chain of evidence was no more con- clusive than against the others, failed to secure an acquittal at the hands of the jury. This can only be explaine cither as a mistake or asthe result of | a resolution of his abottors to placat the demands of justice by making him bear alone the burden of all their mis- deeds, They scem, howoever, to have repented of having yielded even this much, and now that Betts is out on bail pending a motion for a new trial his ultimate acjuittal or release upon a nolle prosequi is the next thing ™ boe pected.

As a place for temporary retention of violent insane men or women it may be all right, but none should be permitted to remain there. The county hospital fisthe place for these rds and they be immediately removed and kept there until they can be received at the state institutions at Lincoln or Nor- folk With three state hospitals for the in- sune th tainly can be no valid ex- cuse for detaining these unfortunates in this county for any great length of time. Douglas county pays more taxes into the state treasury than any other county and ha; a right to demand that the state shall receive and care for all insane pe sons delivered over by the authorities here. This is doubly true because of the practice of the county officials throughout this section in sending paupers and cranks to Omaha, whose officials and people have become far- famed for their disposition to provide for distressed and unfortunate humanity. The burden, however, is becoming too heavy. There is no reason why the tax- pasers of Douglus county should be forced to pay a duplex tax for the care and support of insane subjects. The responsibility should be shifted npon the state, which makes ample provision for the purpose, money is 3 pended annuall state institu- tions t - care for doublethe presentnum- ber of insane patients, If the county commissi ners will hold of this matter in dead earnest the injustic saddled upon our people can be remed und hereafter obviated, ABURDEN. minis- should re ¢ ough by these OUTRAGE., impunity with THE PARLIS 8 M Emboldened by the which dynamite outrages have vecently been committed In several European countries, the bomb-throwing maunia of the anarchists has at last entered the very halls of the French legislatu dealing havoe among deputies and spee- tators alike.

They can- not be allowed to mtinue to oseur with such frequency as of late without proving a most serious menace to the very existence of every civilized eommunity. 'he perpetrator of Saturday's crime asserts that he alone is responsible for his ac’, that he undertook it knowingly and that he is quite willing to abide by its consequences. This may be true in this case. But it is none the less true that he must have been urged on in his mad design by the system- atic teachings of anarchistic bodies Their doctrine is one of destrue- tion omnly. They are anxious only tr pull down today regurdless of the morrow. They encourage individu- als to embark upon schemes of their own for the overthrow of existing ernments and view cvery attack upon the lives and property of their opponents as contributing to the ultimate triumph of their one idea—anarchy. Jus how repress them? The French Chamber of Deputies has alveady passed ateries of measures for the butter pro- toction of their soctal and political in- stitutions, It propases penalties for the publication of articloes inciting the com- missi n of crime by the use of ex- plosives, und that the police shall have wider powers in regulating the manufacture and possession of such explosives, in prévonting suarchistic socioty daily be i of these officinls were THF, OMAHA DAILY BEE outrages and ive surveillance of anarchistic It is possible that these statutes may be turned into an engine for political opprossion Yy an unserupulous government, but il wisely and prudently cnforced they may serve the purpose for which they are intended But they will apply only to France, while anarchy is known to inter- national in its ramifications. country ean repress it unaided.

Nothingshortof an international ngreement looking toward the sion car prove of lasting benefit The action of the Chamber of Deputies for the suppreasion of incendiary papers that advocate anarchy and nihilism is eminently proper and timely. cortainly is no place in a republic, in which uni suffrage prevails and the government is of the people and by the for murderous onslaughts \ dynamite assassing, and the more severe the measures the craze will die out EVIDENCE AS 10 HAWALL the American peoy question is not to be ‘Theanne in the ac! socioties be r repr re orsal poople, repressive the sooner MORE The interest of in the Hawaiian lowed to abate. the islands and their friends in this country evidently determined to sop the issue prominent in public atten- tion, even if in order to do so it is neces- sary to have r to bluster and blufi. The advices from Honolulu dur- g the past forty-cight h have brought two new contributions to this subject, neither of which possesses any very great interest nor puts the cause of the revolutionists in any better light than it was before. One of these tells of the spirit that prevails among the sup- porters of the provisional government, in evidence of whicn theve is given some resolutions passed at a and a speech on that occasion by the president of the annexation club. The resolutions are directed against the sec- retavy of state of the United States and misrepresent his position, as also does the speech of the annexation club's president. Secretary Gresham has ve umed or declared what he is alle to have done in these declarations, that having no substantial foundation they are simply a waste of words, en- tirely unworthy of serious considera- tion. The speech of Hateh, who is referred to in the dispatch as a leading lawver, 1s largely bluster and buncombe. He assumes a state of facts which do not and are not lkely to., and upon this fictitious basis makes a demagogic plea without pith or point. The other con- tribution to this question is the open letter of Charles L. Carter, who was one of the commissioners to the Unit. States on behalf of the provisional gov- ernment, to Sceretary Gresham, plying to the statements made by the secretary in his letter to the president and which were based on_ the report of Commissioner Blount. This somewhat elaborate document, which was probably written with the idea of gaining a little passing no- toriety for its author, adds nothing of importance to the evidence al- veady furnished from that side, over practically the same ground that was covered by the letter of Mr. Thur: ton immediately following the publica- tion of Seeretary Gresham's letter, The few additional facts and incidents it in connection with the events ling up to the overthrow of the mon- archy arve of no value, while the state- ments of Mr. Carter regarding the character of the revolutionary move- ment and the men engaged in it will be valued according to the estimate of Car- ter as a candid and disinterested wit- ness. So judged it is not likely to have very great weight. Iv is doubtless true that the adher of the provisional government genera are very much in earncst highly probable that they will make a struggle to maintain their position if an exigency should arise requiring. To suppose thut they have made no prepa- rations for such a possibility would be to underestimate their shrewdness and sagacity. They ave playing for a lurge stake, to lose which would be most dis- astrous to them. But the talk about defying Americaa authority and ing the United States minister his passports can only be regarded as in the nature of a bluff—valuable, it may be, for main- taining popular interest in the revolu- tionary expe: by any clear-headed membor of the provisional government to have any effect at Washington, PROPOSED POSTAL DISTRICTS, The present postmaster general agreos with his predecessor regarding the ex- vediency of establishing postal districts in the various sections of the country, each having a superintending official. Postmaster eneral Wanamaker proved the idea in several of his ationists in aro ourse iy mass meeting 50 since it Zoes nts ly and it is gi ap- ports and endeavored to apply it in a measure | by asking some of the more important postmasters to visit and report some of the swall offices in their neigh- borheod. The plan contemplates the organization of the Pcstoflice depart- ment by divisions, instead of ing all the postmasters deal veetly with the department. handling of the requests for sup- plies, for clerical allowances and for inform ation for 200,000 employes, to sy nothing of any proper superyision of their character and efliciency, has be- como oo much for the little staff of offi- cials around the postmaster geueral. This great army, says the postmaster general in his report, is organized in companies, without regiments or brig- ades, s0 that the company captain makes his report to the general commanding ofticer. Postmaster General Bissell believes that there should bo a supervising di- rector in each of the larger states, who should make frequent visits to all the postoftices, report upon their condition and recommend chunges and inc-eased aliowances. The expense, if the salaries fixed at $3,000, would probably not exceed $100,000 a year, and their services, it is believed, would be likely to result in much more than the saving of their salaries by means of the bad masagement they would expose and cause to he remedied and the improved methods they would upon di- The No one | ist | cause, but probably not seriously | hav- | introdnce.
