The taritf measure for which the re- port of the democratic majority of the ways and means offers a laboved oxplana- tion and defense, with a plentiful in- fusion of platitude, is unique in the fact that it does not entively satisfy any of the people. Indeed, itisnotaltogether satisfactory toits framers, who were re- strained from doing certain things by the condition of the revenues. The obvious meaning of this is that they would have liked to have gone further in the direction of free trade. Thero is a great deal of democratic opposition to the measure, some because it is too vad- it is not radical house tive L0 years ago. st or 1l some becanse | enowgh, and the objection to it from the formoer is sure to be manifested when its diseussion is entered uvon. It will be shown in the honse with considerable vigor, according to present indications, and probably with still greator vigor in the senate. The democrats of the ways and means committee have shown somo deference to this opposition since the bill was first given to the public by making numerous chianges in the schedules, but the measinre will undoubtedly have to undergoa great many m modifica- tions bofore it veaches the president. There still remain in the bill numevous which will be pointed out as its consideration pre The discussion of the bill will not be- in until after the holid :ss and it isto be expected that the majority will fix a limit upon the time to be devoted to its diseussion in the house, It is very likely. also, that this time will he shorter than the republicans desive. When the measure reaches the senate the republi- cans will have move latitude for its con- sideration, and it is very probable that the discussion will be much more pro- longed in the upper than in the lower branch of congress. The date-at which it is proposed the bill shall go into offect is June I, but it is by no means certain that it can he disposed of before that time. However, it is understood that the republicans will not have recour: to any filibustering tactics for the pu pose of delaying action on the bill, but will simply ask a faiv opportunity for its thorough discussion. There appears to be no doubt that a taviff bill will be passed, but the opinion is that it will differ matevially from the moasure just reported, o ceds, A CALL FOR HELP.

In applying for tho appointment of re- ceivers for the various railroads that have recently resorted to this method of tiding over practical bankruptey the principal allegation in cach of the nu- merous petitions has been that such action is rendered necessavy in orvder to protect the interests of the stockholders. It has been shown to the court that the rvailroad in question was operating at a loss, that it was unable to continue to pay the running expenses and the interest due upon its obligations, and that unless something were done to put the manage- ment in the hands of friendly receivers the bondholders might institute pro- coedings to sceure possession of the lines. T'he theo; then, upon which the courts lhave acted in acceding to such potitions has been that by so doing they would be best serving the interests, not only of stockholders and bondholders, but also of shippers, the public and the railway employos. But it is coming question whether the stockholders the interests of concerned in the the case of the Union Pacific re- ceivership the federal authorities promptly protested and claimed that the United States government, to which the company was lavgely indebted, should have representation on the board of veceiversand representation insufficient numbers to control any policy which might be inaugurated in the conduct of the road. Whether or not we agree that the government should have a pre- ponderance of voices in the deliberations of the receivers, the principle that the interests of the government weve such as to demand some sort of representa- tion was acquiesced in by the court which appointed the additional receivers aund has been agreed to by the public in general. If in ono case the interests of other parties than the stockholders have a just elaim_to protection from the courts, why not all the various parties c cerned? Perhaps it would be unv let every one who could show a direct interest in the management of the road ise a voice in the selection of v ceivers, but in appointing raiload r ceivers the coart should not eonfine i consideration exclusively to the stock- holde The assumption that they alone ave to be protected is one that is as untenable from every point of view as the assumption thattheir interests being protected, the int ts of all ave equally well protected. Look for example at the probable outcome of_ the Denver Texas & Gulf railroad refeivership by which that line has been withdrawn from the control of the Union Pacifie. The sepavate organization of that road be in the interests of the stock- holders despite the costly duplication of administrative offices and the unneces- savy removal of the headguarters from one city to another. It may possibly be accomplished without positive harm to the patrons of the road. But to the employes who were previously at work in the accounting and other clerical de- partments it comes as a crushing blow. It deprives them of their places without any fault of theirs. Their interests in the road have quite plainly been left by the court entirely unprotected. Protecting the stockholders must not be the only point kept'in view in the ap- pointment of railroad receivers, al- though their attorneys arcat the court's elbows to press theiv petition while the employes and public are usually unrep- anted. The interests of tho latter, howevor, are none the less real. Re- ceiverships should be so constituted and regulated by the court as to protect all intevested parties alike. to tha be a serious intorests of aro identical with the other parties transaction. In n- 50 10 res BOOS (ING 1HE CANAL. The frienaly intorest manifested by the president in the Nicaragua canal project has had a reassuring effect upon the friends of that enterprise in con- gress. It will be vemembered that in his annual message the president, re- ferving to the financial embarrassment of the canal company, said that the United States are especially interested in the successful achievement of the vast undertaking this company has in charge. “That it shoud be accomplished under distinctively Amer- fean auspices,” said the dent, “and its enjoyment assured, not only to the vessels of this country as a channel of communication between our Atdantic and Pacific seaboards, but to the ships of the world in the interests of civilization, is a proposition which, in my judgment, does not admit of ques- tion.” This attitude of the president toward the project was unexpected and it has given thoso who ave divectly con- cerned in the undertaking and all who feel that it ought to succeed renewed hope that the government may yet be- come move fully identitied with it, A joint resolution was introduced in the senate on Monday providing for the creation of a committee of three sen- atons and three representatives to ex- amine into and report on the condition of the Nicaragua canal. The house commerce comwittee last week heard addresses from Senator Frye of Maine and Senator Morgan of Alabama on the | duties of the government toward tho canal, Mr. Frye said that while it would cosh tho company $200,000,000 to build the canal and bonds could not be floated for leas than 6 per cen, the government could build iv for $75,000,000 and that { the bonds would sell readily for 4 per cent interest. He also clalmed that with governmental control u churge of 1 per ton for toll would yield a profit, while the company would be compelled to charge a toll of $3.50 per ton, and that DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY rate would exclude all commerce of the conrser grades, such' as lumbar and cereals, which woulil ot be the case it the government giarantesd the bonds. Senator Morgan said {t was important now to decide whethen this canal should be built by private subscription from all over the world, or irhether the United States should at onee ‘begin to exercise a supervisory powsr and guarantee the money to complete'Jt. Tt is understood that the house commerce committee unanimously favors the proposition of governmental control of the work, and it is probable that the supporters of this view are stronger in the present than in the preceding congrass. he estimates of the cost of this under- taking have varied widely. At the out- set the maximum estimato was about #65,000,000, at which figure it was made toappear that it would bs a highly profituble investment. The projectors, believing, it is presumed, that they would have no difficulty in disposing of bonds to this amount, proclaimed that no financial aid would be asked from the government. All they required was such recognition as would insure them protection and give the enterprise a na- tional character, and this was accorded. But when they found that American capital did not eagerly seek this invest- ment and turned to congress for aid, it was proposed to issue bonds to the amount of $100,000,000 with the govern- ment as an indorser. Now it appears, according to Senator Frye, that the company cannot construet the canal for less than $200,000,000, though he thinks the government might do so for less than 10 per cent of that amount. These wide differences in the estimates suggest that nobody really knows anywhere near what the cost of building the canal would be. The expenditure thus far has been between #7,000,000 and $8,000,000, and it makes v little showing in the work accomplished. although there seems to have been no extravagance or dishonesty. The fact is that the cost of comuleting this undertaking would be quite as likely to reach $300,- 000,000 as any less sum, and the idea that the government could build the canal for any eonsiderable sum less than a private corporation is not warranted by expecience. But in any event popular opinion, there can be no doubt, is strongly against the govern- ment becoming financially involved in this enterprise to any extent, and if there is no other way in which it can be consummated a majority of the people unquestionably will say, let it be aban- doned. It is certainly to be desived that the Nicavagua canal, if it is ever com- pleted, shall be undetr Awmerican man- agement and eontrol, but the work of constructing such a wierway, in foreign territory, 1s not the husiness of the gov- cenment, and the people will not bo in- duced to regard it as snch by the threat that if this government does not build it England or German THE BE! commented upon the unique ‘quality of Lancaster county justice only wherein men accused of robbing state institutions figured. A Lincoln paper, printed with new B. & M. type. resents our strictures and hurls back that time-worn 'story of election outrages at the close of the prohibition campaign. It alleges, among other things, that the Western Union Tele® wraph company divulged the contents of telegrams filed at the Omaha oftice for transmission to vavious points in the state. We do not vemember ever to have heard this charge before, It is ona par with kindred fakes gotten up to ar- ray the state against Omaha. Thisis the first instance wherein the telegraph company has been accused of aiding or abetting an anti-prohibition fight. The story is an outrageous fabrication, and 50 are nost of the ¢ s made in the same sheet alleging criminal interfer- ence with the United States mails, Sun- day prize fights, beastly habits of in- temperance and flagrant immorality. Tr NOW looks as if the 1ncome of the Beard of Education from liquor licenses will bacut down by from 100 to $40,000 for the coming year. The question is, will the hoard try to make up the de- ficiency by increasing the school levy or will it endeavor to make ends mec by adopting a policy of retrenchment? Our city taxes are already as high as they can be without contiscating prop- erty or foreing people to submit to hav- ing their homes sold for tax; The limit has been reached, and unless a more equitable assessment is made and the men who have money loaned out on mortguges and men who have moveable property are veached an increase of revenue cannot be had. The school board may as well understand that an increased levy will meet with opposi- tion from taxpayers all along the line. INJUNCTIONS have been demanded of the courts for many and varied purposes, but the order issued by one of the judges on our distriet bench restraining u hu bund and father from whipping ov abus- ing his wife and childven pending pro- seedings for a divorce is certainly a novelty in injunctions in this vicinity. Wives will soon be asking injunctions to prevent their hushands from becom drunk, and the toper, instead of being hauled before the‘police judge on a charge of drunkenness, will be taken be- fore the district coutt to answer for con- tempt.
