Does “unprofessional conduct” offer a valid reason for removing a member of the State Board of Health? This Is the ticklish ques- tion with which Governor Crounse is now confronted. What does the Board of Educational Lands and Funds propose to now? Are the moneys in the school fund to remain idle as heretofore simply to leave a free fleld for the state warrant shavers? do From the amount of talking in which Sen- ator Brice s indulging with newspaper cor- respondents on the outside of the semate people will begin to think that the new tariff bill ought to be called the Brice bill. The people of Nebraska will patiently wait for the next technical objection to be made against the law requiring the investment cf the permanent school fund in state warrants. The objectors at the capital are extremely versatile in their arguments against a law destgned to wipe out the floating indebtness of the state. Kansas City is getting after the election day rioters who precipitated a bloody fight at the polls during the last election. Sev- eral grand jury indictments promise to be followed by prompt convictions, which will put a decided damper upon over-enthusiastic political workers. Ballot box ruffians are not faring very well this year. The members of congress are modestly receiving the congratulations of an admiring public for their sublime display of courage upon the occasion of the Coxey invasion of the capitol grounds. Although there were only 600 special policemen to guard the build- ing against the assault of the 300 and odd fnvaders not a single congressman ran away. Street sweeping Is very desirable and in fact absolutely necessary in every well reg- ulated city. It is a question, however, whether sweeping of streets on hill slopes is necessary after a rainfall that washes the street as clean as a* platter. There is no use of wasting money on such streets when other thoroughfares on the dead level remaln unswept. The state treasurer’s victory in the man- damus case consists rather in name than in game. The decision points out a way for the Investment of the school fund in interest- bearing state warrants. It is against this that the state treasurer has been contend- ing.

The supreme court of Nebraska has just handed down two decisions of great impor- tance to the taxpayers of the state. case which the state fs prosecuting against Hill and his bondsmen to cover the money which was lost in the Capl- tol National bank disaster the court has agreed to take original jurisdiction over tho thus for u spe and at once authorita determination the involved. In the in tha governor asked for a writ of mandamus pel the state tr the law requiring him to invest the idle moneys of the school fund in interest-bearing warrants the ¢ has denfed thi the same re ex-Treasurer re- matter, paving the way of which at ve Issues case to com asurer to exoct state ur petition has indicated how ult n ba legally brought about The supre fs vested the constitution with jurisdictl cases in which the state may The constitution also provides that the state and may be sued, leaving it to the legislature to say In what manner and in what courts suit shall be brought. This or iginal Jurisdiction over these civil cases has never up to this time been exercised by the supreme court the contention of HIll's attorneys was that it could not be exerci until specific legislation should be enacte to carry the constitutional provision fnto offect. The court holds otherwise. Admit- ting that the constitutional provision is not selt executing, 1t finds statu- tory authority to prescribe rules for carrying out this original jurisdiction and agrees to adopt them that suit against Hill may be prosecuted before it. The effect of this decision will be to remove the chief ob- Jections that were ralsed to the previous de cision of the court declaring that the suit, If instituted in the district court, must be brought in the court of that district In which the transaction is said to have taken place. The reason why the state feared to sue In Lancaster county was that a jury drawn there would be prejudiced against it. By having the case heard originally in the supreme court the state will be en- abled to secure @ jury Impanelled from the whole state at large, a jury that promises to be as unprejudiced would one secured in Douglas county. Another advantage to be gained from the supreme court’s consent to take original cognizance of the suit will be that its de- cision will be final. An appeal to the higher tribunal would be almost certain in the district court, no matter which way tho controversy should be determined. The real issue would have to come before the su- preme court at all events. Through its consent to hear the case in the first in- stance the people are brought just so much nearer learning where the responsibility ot making good to the state the missing $236, 000 rests. As to the denial of the petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the state treasurer to buy state warrants with the money in tho permanent school fund, while the nom- inal victory rests with the state treasurer the substance of the decislon is practically in favor of the people. The law of 1591 is declared to be unconstitutional and void so far os it directs the state treasurer to in- vest the school funds in state warants, since it seeks to transfer the responsibility for the management of the school funds from the board, is by the constitution given control over them, to the state treas urer, who is but a member of that board. That the state warrants are state securi- ties the court considers to be too well set- tled to require any detailed opinion on that point. But while it relieves the state treasurer of the duty of buying warrants with the school moneys of his own motion it points out that the State Board of Edu- cational Lands and Funds may legally authorize him to do so. In other words it becomes the duty of the stato board to invest the idle money at its command in interest- bearing securities as provided by the con- stitution, unless such securities cannot be ob- tained upon reasonable terms. There is noiv over a half million dollars in the school fund which can be exchanged for state war- rants upon terms that will give the state the benefit of the same or a higher rate of in- terest than Is secured upon the other school fund investments. The individual mem- bers of that board can no longer hide be- hind technicalities of the law to shirk their duties in this matter. The use of the school moneys should inure to the benefit of the taxpayers and not to that of the spec- ulators into whose possession it has passed. The decision of the supreme court leaves no alternative to the board but to authorize and order the state treasurer to invest the school fund in state warrants without addi- tional loss to the state or further delay on his part. by eivil party directly over me court in be a may suo and nevertheless 50 the supreme as which THE LONDON €0 NCE. Thoe of international bimetallism will probably receive an impetus from the conference convened in London on Wedne: day. Although this meecting of the advo- cates of a wider use of silver as money has no governmental recognition, being held un- der the auspices of the Dritish Bimetallic league, it will not fail to exert a very con- siderable influence. The presence of 400 delegates attests the interest that is felt in this subject, and the assurances given by some of those present leave no doubt that this interest is growing in the great com- mercial countries of Europe. The state- ment that bimetallism is making progre in Germany is unquestionably well founded, and it is highly probable, as was said by the delegate, that if interna- tional conference was held now it would not rosult as the Brussells conference did. The attitude of Germany had no little to do with the fallure of that ccnference, the govern- ment having then firmly announced that it would make no change in its monetary sys- but there s reason to believe that jt 15 now disposed to consider plans looking to the rehabilitation of silver. The appoint- ment of a currency commission, a majority of whose members are bimetallists, was sig- nificant of a modification of the govern- ment’s position regarding silver and of a willingness to give the advocates of bimet- allism a fair hearing. The statement of the governor of the Bank of France that the whole world re- quires a solution of the silver question and that 1t Is ultimately bound up in the com- merelal and industrial prosperity of all na tions s of welghty Importance, since it shows that the best financial opinion of that is favorable The valuable of the conference utteranc ever, those of the English 5 chiet them being Mr. Balfour, the conservative leader in the House of Com- mons. The bric¢ press report of the re- marks of Mr. Balfour indicates that his ar- gument for International bimetallism was broad and unequivocal. He regarded such a policy as absolutely necessary If business 15 to be carrled on upon a solid basis, and he insisted that the difficulties of an interna- tional agreement are mercly as to detalls.

The importance of these dec- larations by a man oeccupying the position of Mr. Balfour as a party leader is obvious, and while they are not likely to make any impression the government they certainly will upon the commercial and Industrial classes of Great Britaln, perhaps very much to the advantage of the conserv ative party when the next Il take place, for this question of Inter- wational bimetallism will be very likely to be made an {ssue in such election.

The realization of this, which Eng lish manufacturers eagerly hoping for, would perhaps render them less clamorous for a change of the policy regarding silver that s at present operating to their serious disadvantage. The latest advices from Washington rela- tive an international monetary confer ence represented the administration as tak- ing no special interest in the matter, It be- ing still the determination of the president country take the initiative in calling a conference. The feeling is that the United States is at this time in a strong and safe position and can well afford to wait until some of the countries of Europe, and particularly Great Britain, are ready to confer with a purpose to reach a satisfactory settlement of this question. It Is belleved that the time is not remote when a move- ment on the part of some one of the Euro- pean governments, possibly Germany, looking to this result, will be made, and the signs certainly seem to justify this view. upon present general election days ago that the showing India re Rosebery SsOT sentiment bimetallism, are to to let some other PARK THE SQUATTER DISTRICT. The most unsightly spot in Omaha is the tract of land between the Union Pacific bridge and Douglas street bridge on the river front. First impressions are nearly always lasting impressions. The traveler coming from the cast into Omaha gets his first impression of this city from the aggre- gation of tumble-down huts and dug-outs that disfigure the river front and oceupy the front entrance of the city. Last year the squatter district was partially cleared by the city authorities as nuisances and breeding spots of contagious disease. Some of the squatters whose houses were removed or demolished received slight compensation from the council, others moved away voluntarily. About 150 shanties still remain on the ground, which is owned by private parties. The only way to clear away the eye-sore and make the approach to Omaha look at- tractive is to convert the squatter tract into a public park. The park commission has a right under the charter to acquire this tract of land either by purchase or condemnation under the right of eminent domain. They are In position to pay the squatters the value of their improvements and pay the owners of the land whatever it is actually worth. Such a procedure would be just and equitable to all parties. It will not involve a very large outlay, because the land is almost worthless and the improvements are not very extensive. The river front park can be lald out, beautified and maintained at a very small expense, The railroads ought to voluntarily contribute toward its establishment and em- bellishment. It would be a relief to them by removing a class of people who are con- stantly tempted to commit depredations and who are liable to injury on the tracks, for which damages are periodically awarded in the courts. If there is any place where the park com- mission can plant the few thousand dollars remaining in the treasury to its credit it is on the unsightly rivcr front. HARMONIZING SENATE DEMOCRATS, The statement made by Senator Aldrich some days ago and denied by Senator Vest, that the tariff bill was being doctored in order to satisfy the demands and secure the support of the democratic senators who had indicated their dissatisfaction with ‘that measure, proves to have been corrcet. The Rhode Island republican senator was better informed as to what was going on in the camp of the democrats than was the demo- cratic senator from Missouri, or the latter sought by prevarication to deceive. In cither case Mr. Vest was not placed in an enyiable position by his denial. The information is that forty-three dem- ocratic senators, or all but one, have agreed to support the tariff bill with the proposed changes in the schedules, the income tax attachment to remain. The one senator who has not entered into this agrecment is Hill of New York, and there is good authority for believing that he will not vote for any tariff bill that carries with it income tax. What changes have been made in the mcasure to induce the di satisfied democratic s to agree to support it the country will probably learn within a few days, and it can bo safely sald in advance that they are all a re- nunciation by the majority of the policy originally embodied in the bill. Never in the history of tariff leglslation in this coun- try has a bill undergone so much tinkering as the present one, and if it passes it will be the most remarkable patchwork of in- consistencies ever placed on the statute ess. an lators book by any con It there are forty-three democratic votes securo for the bill it can be passed. But when? That will depend upon the disposi- tion of the republicans. The democrats are predicting that it will be disposed of before June 1, but it is not in their power to do this without repulican consent, and it is far from certain that they will obtain this con- sont. Efforts thus far made to fix a day for the final vote on the bill have failed, and while it is probable that an agreement will bo reached it fs not at all likely that the republicans will accept so early a date as the democrats appear to think they will. They have repeatedly asserted their deter- mination to discuss the measure paragraph by paragraph, and it they adhere to this it will be impossible to complete the considera- tion within a month. A number of repub- lican senators have declared their purpose to keep up the fight against the bill indefi- nitely, hoping thereby to defeat it, and if half of them are of this mind the disappoint- of the democratic hope of an early passage of the bill is assured. As to the talk about adopting a cloture rule it will undoubtedly amount to nothing, because the proposal of such a rulo would start a dis- cussion that could be prolonged indefinitely, and It wouid probably not recelve the full Qemocratic support. It Is suggested that bold action by Vice President Steventon, supported by all the democrats, would seoure the adoption of cloture, but however am- bitious the vice president may be to gain the | attention of the country he will not be ment pasily induced to adopt an arbitrary o In this matter.

This Is accounted for by the low rates of interest at which money can be secured and by the fact that the cost of materials necessary for fireproof construc- tlon has decreased by not less than a fifth from what it was a few years ago. This decrease in the cost of erecting bulldings is not confined to any one part of the coun- try.

Republican: After Edi Rosewater of The Omaha Bee had been ped into jall by a local Judge: for ventur ing to criticise the judgment of the court in a criminal case, an Oklahoma City (Okl) Judge was encouraged to put two editors i Jail for the same offense.

If public criticlsm of judicial conduct 13 to pass as contempt of court and to be punished accordingly by the party aggrieved, we have fallen upon a situation of some concern to the popular liberties, Atchison Globe: The judges are taking to themselves the powers of kings. Mr. Rose- water of The Omaha Bee was sent to ail for contempt of court. His erime was that a reporter employed on The Bee cited a case of inequality in the administration of jus- tice. Two men were caught robbing a rail- way station. One, a poor ma was sent to jail. The other, the son of wealthy parents, was given his liberty without the case com ing to trial. Because The Bee called atten tion to the injustice, the judge held that such fair criticism was “contempt of court,” and the editor and reporter were thrown into Jail. It was an outrage, pure and simple. St. Louis Republic: An Omaha judge has sentenced the editor of The Omaha Bee to thirty days’ imprisonment and the payment of a fine of $500 for contempt of court. The alleged contempt consisted in the publication of an article charging that there had been diserimination in the treatment of two pris- oners arrested for the same offense. The fine and imprisonment were for the publica- tion of the charge. It is becoming a serious question in this country as to whether the courts are not arrogating to themselves, in too many Instances, attributes of prerogative and Infallibility which must surely destroy their sense of responsibility to the people. The elevation of a man to the bench does not necessarily elevate him to a point where he is beyond public criticism. The wisdom of the law in most of the states, which make Judges elective by the people, is made clearly apparent in the frequency with which eiti- zens are visited with heavy penalties for exercising the right of free speech. With- out the restraint of definite tenure and di- rect responsibility to the people we would be In peril of a judicial tyranny which would g0 far toward the destruction of our insti- tutions. A Jjudiciary is never so much in contempt as when it assumes immunities and privileges never intended to be enjoyed, and attempts to exalt itself above the people who created it. Janesville (Wis) Gazette: The Omaha Ree's stenographic report of the trial of the Rosewater contempt case before Judge Scott of Omaha presents an interesting story of Judicial assumption and insolence. Through- out the taking of testimony Judge Scott bris- tled with maliclous interpolations and a re- markable feature was the fact that he had previously prepared an order of commitment and could hardly wait for the conclusion of the testimony, which was favorable to Editor Rosewater, before he blurted out a tirade of abuse of that gentleman, and, without asking the prisoner if he had anything to say, as is customary, hastened to deliver judgment for the defendant’s Imprisonment for thirty days for criticising in his paper the action of the judge in a case which had been adjudi- cated. It was proven, however, that Ros water did not write the local article or ord it to be written. Such ostentatious male lence by a judge on a district court bench and such penetrability to criticism rather seems to confirm the justice of the Rosewater charge that Scott had shown unlawful par- tiality in the disposition of vertain cases. The idea that a judge is above criticlsm in a matter adjudicated is an assumption of whicli the judiclal mind everywhere should be relieved. A judge, as a public official, is lawfully subject to criticism, not only as to | adjudicated cases, but as to his rulings pend- ing the determination of a case. Of late | there have been several cases of judicial as- sumption of sacred and Inviolable attributes throughout the country, which cannot be too severely condemned. A judge on the bench exuding malice and personal hostility toward a defendant in a case on trial before him Is not competent to hold such position. U i SR ATE POLITICAL NOTES.

The secretary of the senate is acting under the law of January 20, 1574, which repealed the salary grab law of March 3, 1873, requiring cortificates of attendance upon the senate and house.
