There is an encouraging activity organizing of republican clubs throughout the state of bra in the reported Why not dock the president's salary for the time that he deserts his post of duty to TRAIN SEIZURES AND COAL SEIZURES. Wostern rallroads have boen for some time complatning loudly against the seizure of their trains by the varfous branches of the great Industrial army. They have with a considerable muasurs of justice protested against this form of ving them of their property. They have resorted to various to prevent the Industrials from curing possession of their trains, and falling ve appialed to the state authori- some In; the United States officials to roguin their property for them and to punish the offenders. In their offorts to avoid the seizure of their trains they have demanded the support of ail law respecting citizens and they insist that the bo strictly enforced against the have been implicated these means 0. to do 80 ha ties and fn nees to law must men who seizuros, But if the selzuro of property belonging the raflroads by men who have mo fin- tention of running off with It and who seek merely to make of it temporarily is weh a heinous offense, why should not the selzure of private property of in- dividuals by the railroads call for eanally energetic repressive measures? On ccount of the difficulty in securing coal dur- ing the pendency of the present coal strike tern railroads are seizing and appropriat- ing to their own use all the coal that falls into their hands. The Pennsylvania railway officers at Perth Amboy and South Amboy, N. J., have, according to the New York Evening Post, just taken all the coal there nsigned to shippers at both placss, of whom there are about twenty, who distribute 1,000,000 tons annually. The same authority says that the Baltimore & Ohio railroad has taken tho coal on its line at Baltimore without regard to its owners and that prominent shippers of bituminous coal in New York City claim to have been treated in precisely the same way by other roads to whom their consignments were en- trusted. Strange to say, this same journal, which has been most outspoken and bitter against the train-seizing Industrials, gives what purports to be a Justification by the shippers of these coal seizures on the part to use hout indulge his duck hunting proclivities? The last item of the tariff with which the American house of lords has grappled 18 the duty on ultramarine. This is cnough to make the whole country feel blue. The sugar schedule promises to come in for the biggest part of the senate tariff de- bate thunder, but lightning is liable to strike on almost any part of the bill. Now that the investigation of the troubles on the police force has been begun let it go to the very bottom. No skimming of the surface will satisfy the people of this com- munity. Coney Island without the elephant will be like the circus without the animals. Re- form Coney Island and it will lose its place as a resort for the curiosity seeking idlers who visit the metropolis. Those Grover Cleveland duck stories are beginning to make their reappearance. Em- peror William will have to embark upon another hare hunt, or else look to his laurels as a royal sportsman. The people who have discovered the secret of the bullet-proof cloth are now almost as numerous as those who have been asserting that there is no such thing possible. It is wonderful how easily the popular mind changes. This ought to be a good year for home- seekers' excursions. There are plenty of people who are driven by existing circum- stances to change their residence and occu- pation. These excursions will assist them in selecting a place for a new home. The controversy over macadam and stone block pavement for country roads has reached that sulphurous stage of profanity which can- not fail to impress the commisssioners with the horrible prospect that they will be damned if they do and damned if they don’t. The Springfield Republican announces that there are six republicans to one democrat angling for a nomination for governor in the Nutmeg state. The number of willing candidates Is a good indication of the pros- pects which the fisherman has of landing his catch. If the economists In the city council are eager for herolc measures to retrieve the clty's finances we know of no department of the city government that could be so easily spared as the councll Itself. Beonomy like charity begins at home in every well regulated family. Haze, chief of the cats that don't catch mice, has ventured on another snipe hunt in the gamblers’ district. The would-be Pinkerton of Omaha gloriously distinguished himself by holding the bag while the gume took deliberately to the woods after recelv- ing its usual tip. The international miners' congress split on a babel of tongues. The miners ought to agitate for the adoption of some stand- ard international language designed for the especial use of delegates to congresses in which members of different nationalities participate. What has become of volapuk? We cannot comprebend how it comes that the officlal organ of the democratic party in these parts, after being the reciplent of the undivided advertising patronage, can b so ungratoful as to keep on bushwhacking members of the democratic cablnet and shooting polsoned arrows at the democratic president. Congressman Bland returns to Washington satisfled that he has secured a good return for the $13 a day Investment which he made for every day that he was absent from his place in the house in order to attend the Missourl democratic state convention. It Bland thinks he got a bargain no one elsc ought to complain. e Mr. James D. Yeomans, the newly ap- pointed member of the Interstate Commerce commission, Is belng advertised cxtensively s an lowa farmer. Why not? When it comes to a record for farming he can easily got into the same class with Secretary Mor- ton, the other representative farmer of the democratic administration. Has any one been carried away by the rush of outside investors to underbid the local electric lghting monopoly In response to the council's invitation for proposals? Not yet Nor I8 there any immediate danger of such & thing happening. It s pretty safe to as- sert that the several eastern capitalists whom the Wiley catspaws mentioned as being anxious to bid for supplying Omaha with electric lights If they only were given the opportunity will have vanished into thin alr before the time for oclosing the bids shall have arrived. GRRHGUB BT NA 0« | determination of the rallroads. They allege that this is not the first’ time this has occurred during strikes, and although it is probably not within the #ights of the railroad companies to do, yet it is “an unwritten law" that they may take coal in transit if it is neces- sary in order to keep the road going. If they did not take the coal the trains could not be operated and it would not reach its destination in any event. Furthermore, if the roads were not operated they would lose their charters, whereupon the shippers would still be much worse off. We have the railroads setting up “an un- written law" of their own in direct violation of the written law of the land. They are following a course no less lawless than that of the train ecizers and fraught with no less dangerous consequences. It is nothing less than the assertion on behalt of the railroads of the ancient right of purveyance which was overthrown in England two centuries ago. The railroad that can seize coal belonging to private individuals with impunity will not hesitate to seize any other consignment entrusted to it that may be appropriate to its uses. Because it has been done before does mot justify it now any more than the successful train scizures of one band of Industrials justify train seizures by those following it. Seizing coal and seizing trains eannot be distinguished in principle, although the one may be com- mitted by needy railroads and the other by the needy unemplo; A SENATE CLOTURE RULE. Some of the senate democrats are pro- posing that an attempt be made to adopt a cloture rule, limiting its continuance to the passage of the tariff bill, but it appears that the managers of that measure hesitate to present the proposition. They have two reasons for this, one being that a consider- able number of democrats are so positively committed against cloture that they can- not be brought to support such a rule, and the other that the republicans would solidly resist cloture now, although many of them would vote for it if no contest were pending. Furthermore, it is said that the managers of the bill do not believe it would be ad- visable to take any step just now that would array against them those repub- licans who are willing to assist in main- taining the presence of a quorum and who have indicated a willingness to support the democrats in an effort to prolong the daily sessions. In addition to these reasons a motion to amend the rules could be dis- cussed Indefinitely and in this way time would be consumed in a possibly futile struggle that might otherwise be profitably devoted to the bill. On general principles the United States senate should have a rule that would en- able the majority to fix the limit of de- bate. The reasons for such a rule in the house of representatives are equally ap- plicable to the other branch of congress, the chief one being that it is necessary to the maintenance of the principle of majority rule. But the party now in control of the senato has no right to complain if repub- licans under existing circumstances stand solidly In opposition to cloture. Democratic opposition to such a rule, many times pro- posed when republicans were In control of the senate, has been persistent and uncom- promising, and those democrats who have been long In the senate could not support cloture now without stultifying themselves, while their course in the past has a more or less binding effect upon their party col- leagues who are not on record against a rule of this kind. This being the case it seems hardly probable that an effort will be made at this time to change the rules, because it is perfectly obvlous that it would be futile. Half a dozen democrats united with the republicans would defeat it and { it 1s not to be doubted that at least double this number would vote against the propo- sition. That every republican would do so can be regarded as assured. It would seem to be practically settled, therefore, that no restriction will be placed on the tariff debate unless by agreement between the two parties on a day for taking the final vote, and there does not nmow ap- pear to be much likelihood of such an agree- ment belng reached. The republican sena- tors disclaim any intention to cause delay by recourse to obstructive tactics or fili- bustering, but they adhere firmly to the to thoroughly discuss the tarift bill in detall, and this it is both their right and their duty to do. If they hold to this course it is plain that a final vote on the bill cannot be reached beforo the closo of the current fiscal year, June 30, at which time it 1s proposed that it shall go into effect. The experience will furnish another argument in favor of a change in the rules allowing the majority to fix a limit to debate and after the tariff bill is out of the way both parties may be disposed to have such a rule sdopted. It the railroads dun't soon agree upon a settlement of their rate disputes the peo- ple will begiu to belleve that they prefer to have them remain unsettled. The rail- } along charging whatover rates happened to ronds are constantly complaining about the | instability of rates and profess to be anxious | to have things brought to a permanent basis. But the whole matter rests entirely with them. Why don't they come to an understanding? FOR THIS & reassuring Information the rs of the majority in the house of representatives have about made up thelr minds to dismiss the silver question for the present session. It is be- d that the free coinage bill which Mr. Bland has ready to introduce will share the fate of the Meyer bill, which was said to have the approval of the administration. The committee on coinage will hold a meeting next Wednosday and it is thought a motfon to postpone the free coinage bill will prob- ably be carried at that time, if the sound money members are present in sufficient force to justify a test of strength. This is the course urged by influential democratic leaders in the house, and while it will of course be strenuously opposed by Bland, who, since the talk about him as a possible presidential candidate, may be expected to bo cven more zealous in the cause of silver than heretofore, there appears to be a strong probability that the plan of postponement will prevail, It scems that some of the democratic leaders have reached the conclusion that from a political point of view it is folly to intensify distrust of the party in the east by the agitation of free coinage when there is no chance whatever of enacting a bill into law. Another view is that it will be better in the end for the cause of silver it this country should drop consideration of it for the present. The idea is that if we let the question alone Huropean countries will be led to take greater interest in it and perhaps before the next session of con- gress our government may get an invitation from some one of those countrics to another international conference for the purpose of considering a plan for the larger use of silver. Such a thing is of course possible, but it is hardly to be regarded as among the probabilities. At any rate there is not at this time any strong indication that any of the governments of Europe are seriously considering the question of calling another conference. The one recently held in Lon- don in the interest of bimetallism does not appear to have produced so great an fm- pression as it was expected to, though doubt- less it was not without influence with the people. So far as Great Britain is con- cerned it is doubtless entirely safe to say that it will not take the initiative in call- ing another conference, though the govern- ment would undoubtedly readily respond to an invitation to be represented in one. Even with a change of ministry that should put Salisbury and Balfour again in power it is very doubtful whether the British gov- ernment would be disposed to invite an- other monetary conference. As to the Ger- man government, which has been showing a good deal of interest in the silver question, its policy still seems to be to take no action without the support or approval of Great Britain. There is admittedly a growing sentiment in_Germany for bimetallism, but that country “Will probably do nothing with- out concurrent action by England. 1t is perfectly obvious that silver agitation in congress can have no profitable result and the wisdom of dropping it is unquestion- able. The democratic leaders could further commend themselves to popular approbation it they would decide to also drop the con- sideration of schemes for new banking sys- tems, a score or more of which have been introduced. There can be no doubt that the dismissal of these questions from present at- tention and agitation would have a whole- some effect on financial affairs. DISMISSED The N8I is given that le democratic A local contemporary which is suspected to be edited by the stone pile man goes into convulsions over the proposed use of stone paving blocks for county roads. The county commissioners are admonished that ‘‘the paving of a country road with stone blocks is an unheard of piece of folly, involving not only an outrageous waste of money, but a serious Injury to the highway. No farmer will relish the idea of driving his horses over a stone pavement when a much easier means of road Improvement might be em- ployed.” In the next breath the stone pile contortionist declares “there may be some doubt whether macadamizing with Nebraska limestone will prove a success because the limestone disintegrates badly by exposure. It may also be possible that putting a granite top, as it is called, on this macadam will not entirely obviate the dificulty. Certain it s, lowever, that good macadamizing can be done for about one-half the cost of stone pay- ing, and upon a country road macadamizing is and probably will always be most appro- priate, most “serviceable and cheapest method of improvement.” Here is an argu- ment as is an argument. Farmers will not travel over a stone block pavement because it is hard on horses. Would farmers prefer broken stone to block stone if they had a choice between a solid roadway and a road- way cut up by ruts? If cheapness is the main object, cedar blocks will be cheaper than macadam. Brick is dearer than lumber and yet frame houses are in the long run more expensive than brick buildings. The cheapest commodity is in the long run the depreat, 2 ESRGVRL o B In passing sentence on the boss gambler of the Diamond, Judge Scott has again ex- nibited himself in his true character of ju- dicial mountebank. After posing for months as the terror of the gamblers and dellver- ing himself of numberless harangues and flerce tirades, the opportunity came to him to show his hand. A jury of twelve men, good and true, had brought in a verdict of Builty against one of the keepers of the most palatial gambling house in the west. The statutes make gambling and the keeping of gambling houses a felony punishable by fine and {mprisonment in the penitentiary. The terror of the gamblers foamed at the mouth, raged and snorted, and then pronownced this terrible sentence: You have been found gullty of a most helnous crime, and I now fine you $400 and costs. The prisoner, who expected to be pounded into pulp, felt very much like the man who had been struck with a feather duster, Thus ended the great farce which has been kept on the boards for the last six months. It is interesting to know that the testi mony on both sides of the maximum frelght rate law injunction case fs all in, and that that fleld of obstruction has been exploited to Its full capacity. The scene must now be transferred from the private taking of depositions to the public hearing in open court. This does not mean that the dilatory tactics are to be abandoned by the rallroads They have been thus far #o successful with the policy that they have every reason to persist In It.

The man maust be particularly gullible with whom this story washes. New York politicians are not feeling very Jjubilant over the prospects of having all the federal nominations from that state hung up until after the tariff bill shall have been enacted into law. This may explain to a certain extent their frantic efforts to get the senate to act immediately upon the measure before it. The tariff doesn't count except to bring the offices once more in sight.

The farmers have no further use for such a man. e Fusion in N North Bend Republican The question of fusion In this state this fall between the democrats and populists is one that is just now attracting a great deal of attention. This matter of fusion is an important one for several reasons. Ever since the populist party came into existence there has heen more or less talk of fusion between it and democracy. Four vears ago the populist party came into existence In this state, and came near sweeping it. It did elect a majority of the legislature, and $cared the = republicans nearly to 'death o, the state ticket. Its strength once shown'it became arrogant, and when democracyl made proposals of fusion they were laughed at. But two years later the populists did not show as much strength as In the first fray, and they looked upon {un\uu with some” favor. Today it cannot ‘bel denfed that fusion meets with the favor of a great many populists and democrats, They recognlze that in fusion is their, only hope of defeat- ing the republicans. Republican papers’ ape sncering at fusion and declaring thiit “the republican ticket will win in any event. It is well to study this matter a little before making any pre- dictions. Four years, ago the combined vote of populists and democrats was about 60,000 more than the republican vote. Two years ago, with “praétical fusion on the electorfal ticket, the fusion majority over the republicans’ was about 10,00, If there is fusion this fall the Tepublicans will have to increase their vote about 10,000 over what they gave Judge Harrison, Can they do it? The Republican belleves (£ can be done, but it will take a clean ticket and lots of work to accomplish it. A great many populists who were once republicans will refuse to vote for a mongrel ticket, and many demo- crats will vote with the republicans rather than see the populists given a voice in the control of the state's affairs, Upon the number of such votes will depénd the suc- cess of the republican ticket in case there is a fusiol There is a great danger that republicans will become overconfident. The future of the party 18 bright, but the ticket will not ot {tself. Let democrats and the talk fusion if they desire, the vork in either event.” The es it would be wise to state convention early, and make the campalgn & hot one from the start. A good ticket will grow in favor, and a poor ticket can be remedled if the campaign proves it to be poor., ported STATE POLITICAL NOTE! STEALING RAILROADS.

The proposition of the secretary of agri- culture to create another holiday and call it “Bird day” has stirred a number of the local democrats to action, and a set of reso- lutions are now being prepared with a view of submission to the democratic state con- vention. The preamble will set forth the illustrious services of Hon. J. Sterling Mor- ton to the state and nation, briefly reciting the history of Arbor day, and touching on the proposition to add to it. The resolu- tions will declare that a fitting recognition of the secretary’s efforts demands that his birthday be selected as the honored date of the new holiday, and that it shall be called “Cuckoo day.” 1t will be further resolved that on tho occaslon of each recurring an- niversary each postmaster throughout the length and breadth of at least this state should be required to go out and plant an egg. What further recommendations will be included have not yet been determined, but a portion of demecracy is working en- thusiastically to do itself proud in the matter. 1t s reported o nt.. who | | I8 to the effect that an unbalanced mind, so long as it does not attain positive tnsanity, I8 not an excuse for eriminal practices, and that the place for the criminal practicioner s.

The trouble with most investigations these days is that they are so open that the public can see right through them. Chicago Post: It will be surprising if the senatorial investigation result in any finding satisfactory to the people. The good name of the chamber is not the im- mediate jewel of the senators. If it were the nasty stories of bribery that have been floating through the papers for months would not have gone unchallenged. St. Louis Republic: If trusts and com- bines are able to hang out $100,000 for a senatorial vote they can gencrally get n few takers. Here appears the moral side of a tariff for protection. A nation can- not afford to subject its public men to such temptations, There should be in public life no opportunities for amassing fortunes in exchange for vote; Globe-Democrat: If there was no pledge given to the Sugar trust in return for its munificent campaign contribution, then the people have a right to know how the sugar schiedule came to be so arranged as to guar- antee the trust an absolute and perpetual monopoly, with the opportunity added to make an enormous profit by the postpone- ment of the operation of the duty until next January, It will not do to say that this remarkable advantage is accidental, when so many other intcrests are treated with pro- nounced hostility.
