The chief state oil inspector and his deputics positively deny that there has heon any negligence on their part in the inspection of oils during the present year and they that there is not a pint of oil on sale in the state that will not stand the test required by our statutes. On this point they challenge contradiction and they go so far as to | offer a #100 bonus to anybody who will | prove that there has been a fire or dam- aging accident caused anywhere in this | state within the last six months by the explosion of a coal oil lamp.

In that case the law is to blame and - not the inspectors. In any event Nebraska should not be made the dumping ground for dangerous oils that have been ve- jected in. other states. It would be much better for the people of this state to pay a higher price for oil and be safe than to have life and property exposed to the risks of spontaneons explosions for the few cents difference botween first elass oils and third grade oil In agitating this subject ' BEE has only one object in view, and that is pub- lic safety and a compliance with the FS TWO PERPETUAL matuvity bond pro- | laws relating to inspection of illuminat- i moters were arrested in Council Blufis | ing oils.

Fair-minded men will find no fault with this decision, and if it is firmly adhered to there will be no change in the rules of the senate affect- ing debate during the present congress. The time must come, how ', when both parties in the senate will be com- pelled by public opinion to abandon the practice which is comprehended in the term *senatorial courtesy,” and shape the rules of that body so that the will of the majority cannot be defsated through interminable debate ho defenders of this practice, it will be admitted, make out a rather plausible case, but they do not dispose of the proposition that much of what is done in the of sena- organizations to have the abuse rom- edied had up to this month been made in vain.

This on its face is no argument for the restoration of the old rates at all. 1t is a matter of indifference to Omaha merchauts just what forces have been at work to move the Burlington to thiy act of justice. The representations of the Commercial elub probably have had much 1o do with it. On the other hand railroad men assert that the rates have been readjusted morely as a business proposition. The diserimination in favor of Kansas City, it is said, did not bring to the Buriington the amount of business which it had been led to expect. It is learning that discrimination in favor of one city and against another does not pay the railroad. Omaha wants no favors beyond what its importance as a commercial and shipping center gives it a right to demand. 1f the railroads will give our merchants fair play without unjust discriminations of any kind- they will be able to hold their own with any legitimate busmess within theiv terri- tory. OPPOSITION 1T0 THE TARIEE BILL. A good deal of dissatisfaction with the Wilson tariff bill has already hoen man- ifested on the democratic side of the house and there is every reason to ox- pect that when the measure comes up for consideration democratic hostility to numerous features of it will be devel oped. The constituents of a number of democrats have petitioned them to op- pose changes in the tarilf which affect their interests, and it is safe to say that in many cases these requests will be complied with. The representatives of democratic constituencies will not be likely to ignore the wishes -of the peo- plo they represent, however strong the appeal may be made to them to support the bill as it has been framed in the interest of party harmony. Mr. Cloveland clearly anticipated democratic opposition to the new tariff policy when he said in his message {hat the success of the Wilson bill “‘can only be attained by means of unselfish counsel on the part of the friends of tarifi veform and as a result of their willingness to sub- ordinate personal desires and ambitions to the general good,” but this appeal will hardly induce democratic congress- men to risk defeat at the hands of their constituents by disregarding their wishes, The democratic members of the ways and means committee have pe sistently refused to make any changes in the bill before it is reported to the house, which it is expected will be done this week and whatever changes ave made in the measure will have to be made by the house. That there will be numerous changes seems o be regarded as certain. The senato finance committee will enter upon the consideration of tho measure this week, and it is understood that it proposes to give hearings to those interests which are affected by the bill. In that case the committee will undoubtedly be afforded the fullest facilities for ascertaining the views of both manufacturers and the labor em- ployed in .manufacturing, and if the hearings aro not mevely perfunc- tory, as was the caso with thoso given Dby the ways and means ecommittee, it ought to be entirvely safe to say that the information which the senate finance committee will get will be very likely to lead it to make many changes and modifications in the Wilson bill, at least in the direction of correcting its numerous incongruitios and inconsistencies. The industrial in- terests of the country appear to be thovoughly aroused and determined to bring every proper pressure upon con- gress to prevent the passage of the new tariff bill in its present form. The promise. is that in this they will have the help of & number ef democratic representatives. THOSE SOUTHERN CLAIMS. It is evident from the favorable re port made by the judiciary committee of the house on tho bill relating to the séttlement of claims against tho United States growing out of the loss of prop- erty by residents of the seceding states during the rebellion that the present songress is determined to go as far as possible in helping southern claimants to raid tke public treasury. This bil proposes to extend the right of action is on such claims before tne court of slaims two years and reopens all s which have been adjudicated by the secretary of tho treasury or barred by the statute of lim- itations, It also admits to these benefits all claimants whose claims have boen adversely dotermined by the court on account of disloyalty. Hereto- foro people in the south who have filed claims for damages or loss of property sustained by the veballion have had to prove that they were loyal. The act of 1863, relating o selzuves of property in the south by the federal military au- thorities, took care of those who had been loyal by permitting them, if they had been the owners of any such prop- erty, to prove within two years after the suppression of the rebetlion theiv claim and the fact that they had never given aid or comfort to the rebellion, upon doing which they were to receive the residue of the procceds of the property sold, the law authorizing the seizure of property rveauiving the proceeds 1o be covered into the treasur Over $30,- 000,000 thus fonnd its way into the treas. ury, of which there remains at this vime about $11,000,000. If the bill reported from the house ju- diciary committee should become a law the #11,000,000 in the treasury repre- senting proceeds of sales of property taken in the south during the war will have to be paid out to claimants of whose disloyalty to the government at the time of the seizures there is no doubt or question. The report of the minority of the committoe says ot these claimants: Phey were in fact in arms against the government from which they now demand “justice,” Considering their numbers and influence it will not be denied that they did great injury to that govern- went, its property and 1ts citizens. It is & fact bayond dispute that the peopls who are seeking to socure this money from the natiowal treasury caused the government vastly more expense and loss than the amount they are after. | But the proposed legislation would go | much further than this, since it would allow all those persons who have been restrained from presenting claims against the government by reason of their known d®@alty to enter the list of claimants, and the aggregato amount which the government would thus bo asked to pay woyld be enormous, Such legislation would be utterly indefensible. It would be in (%he natute of a ward for disloyalty to the government and cannot bo approved by any fair- minded and patriotic eitizen, It is per- haps sufficient explanation of such a bill being reported favorably that of the cleven democrats in the house judiciary committee seven are from the south re- THE report of a majority of the civil service commissioners is an unqualified endorsement of the action of the Harri- son administration in extending the re- form, particularly with respect to the postal service. The commissioners make special reference to the results of this action” as ovidence of the benefits secured to the public service by the proper application of civil service rules, stating that its effect was to secure a higher grade of intelligenco, and conso- quently greater efficiency and fidelity in the class of employes affected. The minority report charged that the oxtension, because made near the closc of the last administra- tion, was prompted by partisan con- siderations and it is creditable to Mr. Cleveland that he manifested his disap- probation of this view by” removing the member of the commission who publicly proclaimed it, thongh it is to be re- marked that the postmaster general ap- pears to have entertained about the same idea. Itis to besaid of the latter, however, that he seems to be thoroughly in sym- pathy with the cause of eivil service re- form and desirous of its further exten- sion where practicable. If the present administration does as well in advancing the veform as did its predecessor not much will be left to be done by the suc- ceeding administeation.

The latest case appeuled to the state supreme court in which the devartment figures once more illustrates the methods bv which the scheme is operated. When the rail- road company is sued it sets up the membership in the relief department as asurrender of all rights against it. Hav- ing defeated the plaintiff by this plea the rehef department turns around and refuses to settle the insurance for which the employe has paid, alleging that by beginning suit against the railroad com- pany he has violated one of the rules and regulations and forfeited all vightto assistance of anv'kind.

The desirability of irvigation is nolonger open to question. It is now the most cconomical way and means that must be found and the coming convention may be expected to throw considerable light upon this aspect of the subject.
