Not so, however, The Awe fean touvrist is the worst offender kihown against the revenue laws of his own country. Every Awmerican now in I business THE LOGIC OF THE DECISION. One of the Illinois stnte senators has introduced a bill into the leglsiature to prohibit strect raflway companies dolng in that state from enrrying Jnited States mails. ‘The fdea behind ’(he measure Is that the only object in having mafls carried on street ears is to make the street railways part of the United States mail routes and put them under the protection of the federal gov- ernment. In such case strikes would be practically fmpossible among street railway employes, But there s jost s much of a question as to the power of a state legislature to imerfere with the United States mails as of a band of striking employes. It is hardly prob- able that any law such as that proposed in Illimois could be enforced in the courts, even if enacted. The same doe trines which the judges have laid down with re are applicable to the agents of the state governments, In other words, if state officers attempt to prevent street vail way companies from carrying mails, they would afford the same excuse for calling out of the federal troops {hat existed during the great vailroad strike of a year ngo. They would also create a similar of facts to that upon which the great strike injunctions were 1 and if the courts intervened with writs of prevention they would be sub- ject to similar punishment for contempt should they violate the orders It is plain that the results of the re. cent supreme court decision are not to be avoided by state legislation of this kind. The court enuncinted the prineiple that intersrate commerce comes within the exclusive jurisdiction of the fede government, and that the duty of protecting the corporations engaged in interstate commerce devolves directly upon federal authorities with- out reference to the action of the indi- vidual states. If so, then the duty of protecting the employes of those cor- porations from oppression by their em- ployers devolves upon the federal gov- ernment, as well the duty of pro- tecting the public from extortionate and has as unreasonable exactions. The excentiye and the courts have stepped in at the request of the railroads to shield them from aitack. Tt is for congress to follow this up with legislation designed for the em- and the patrons of these roud What is sauce for the is also sance for the gander. 1If the corpors tions can claim the protection of the interstate commerce clause of the con- stitution, so can the laborers they em- ploy and the people they serve. goose THE EF SPERITY. With the return of prosperity through- out the country will come a ces tion of the clamor for debased currency. Such a revival is now taking place and close observers see that the demand for unlimited and free silver coinage is losing ground. When hun- dreds of mills and factories were idle and hundreds of thousands of people were unemployed, while the prices of the products of agriculture were lower than almost ever before, the advoeates of 16 to 1 coinage had their opportunity. The mind of the laboring man and the farmer was then most susceptible to the teaching that the free coinage of silver was the one thing needed to give the former work and to raise the price of the products of the latter. Both had undergone a hard and trying experience and were in a condition to accept any financial nostrum which could be plausi- bly shown to promise relief. Told that the free and unlimited comage of silver would give employment to labor, incrense wages and send up the prices of all the commodities of agriculture, won thousands of ad- herents to that policy who under dif ferent conditions would not have given it a moment's consideration. These classes are ‘having an object lesson which should convinee them of the fallacy of the cheap money demand. A resumption of industrial activity has taken place very generally throughout the country, wages have advanced, in many eases by the voluntary ac tion of employers, there is a demand for labor in the indus- trial centers and almost every day there is developed some new condi- tion that serves to show the fallacy of the free silver contention and to demon- strate that the.so-called argumeits for that policy are based on false assump- tions. While the false teaching of the free silverites is thus made apparent to the labor of the country, the farmers are also being presented with an object lesson which shows the falsity of the assertion that the low price of the products of agriculture was due to the depreciation of silver. They have seen wheat, corn, cotton and beef going up while silver remained down and the more intelligent of them must see that this advance in the prices of their products would have been brought about by the increased consumption that accompanies pragperity even if the price of silver had gone still lower. Every farmer who studies the markets knows that the upward movement in the prod- uets of agriculture has been wholly in- dependent of silver, as, indeed, has been the case with the course of these prod uets for the past twenty years. The claim that the price of silver has at any time since its so-called demonetization had any important influence in deter- mining the prices of wheat, cotton or any other agricultural commodity is not sustained by the facts and present experience in this vespect is not essen tially different from that of any pre viovs time in the last twenty years. The fact that there has been from time to thne rweidence in the rise or fall of silver and agricultural produets does not prove any such relationship be tween such products and the white metal as the free colnage advocntes as sert. The country is getting back to a con dition of prosperity without the free coinage of silver, and every indication is favorable to continued progress in that direction. Onr securities are in de- mand in the Buropean markets, foreign capital is looking for American invest wment, financial confidence than it has been before for sev- eral years, and the only thing is stronger Burope will carry dutiable articles on his return home, but the number who will pay duty will be lusiguilicant. that seems necessary to an era of sound prosperity s good crops, of which there is favorable promise. PSSR et~ S rence to the labor organizations Under such cireumstances what defense is there for the demand that we shall revolutionlze our monetary system with the inevitable result of checking the advance toward prosperity now mak ing and probably bringing about im- measurable disastor AN OBJECTION FROM TURKEY. The powers—England, France and Russia—which submitted to the Turkish government of reforms for a program Armenin, may hate to compel by fc la compliance with their demands, While not rejecting the proposed re. | forms, because to have done that would have been to invite a confliet, the Tur Kish government objects to a very essen- tinl feature of the plan, which is that requiring that the powers shall have control of the reforms. To omit this vequirement and leave the plan be 1 out by the Turkish government would give no assurance of security to the Armenians and would probably de feat the whole purpose of the proposed forms. Obviously the condition that the powers shall countral is absolutely vital and should be insisted upon, re ices the Turkish that it will faith- the reforms. If the is any humi ion or hardship in it for that government it is fully deserved. It is suggested t the objection of Turkey to the control of the powers is prompted by some other European power, possibly Germany, and reasons may be found for this view, though it seems improbable that the German gov- ernment would care to take any part in the matter. The sentiment of the man people, it is safe to say, is with to gardless of any governmeht may giv out fully carry the Armenians, and the government would not go counter to this by supporting Turkey in refus- ing to agree to any of the demands of the powers. The concen- tration of war vessels at Beyroot indi cates a determination to enforce the de- mands, and if such is the meaning of it the Turkish government will not be very tenacious in urging its objection. A GRKOWING INDUST! One of the most thrifty fruits of the protective policy in this country Is the tin plate industry. It will be remem- bered that when the duty on tin plat was increased by the taviff act of 18 with a view to stimulating the industry in this country, it was persistently a serted by the opponents of protection s impossible to build up tin e manufacturing in the United States in competition with Wales and that the only effect of the duty would be to increase the cost of tin to Ameri- can consumers. It was proclaimed everywhere that the duty would rob every houselhold that used tinware and every workingman who carried his din- ner in a tin pail. The appeal to the “tin pail brigade” to resent this action of the protectionists undoubtedly had great effect in the ecampaign of 1890, when the democrats secured their great majority in the house of representa- tives. But wpotwithstanding the assertions of the tariff reformers and free traders the tin plate industry has made progress in this country, and instead of having to give way before the competition of the Welsh manufacturers, who were favored by the democratic tariff, it has been gradually erowding them out of the American market. According to a recent report there are 168 tin plate mills in this country, with others in progress of construction, and when all are in operation they will have a ca- pacity exceeding the consumption of the United States. We are now im- porting less than half the quantity of tin plate we formerly did, and evidently it s only a question of a short time, possibly two or three years, when im- portations of tin plate will stop alto- gether. The effect upon the industry in Wales has been almost disastrous. More than half the mills in that coun- try are idle and wages have been re- duced to the starvation point. The Welsh manufacturers admit that the outlook is most gloomy and have given up all hope of regaining what they have lost of the Amervican market. Mennwhile instead of the price of tin plate advancing it is considerably lower now than before the tariff law of 1890 went into effect, and the condi- tions are favorable to its being still cheaper. There has been no more remarka- ble example in our history of what American enterprise and energy can accomplish under a judicious policy of protection than is furnished by the progress of the tin plate industry. DUTY OF THE POLICE COMMISSION. Our municipal government is a rotary machine whose wheels continue in per- petual revolution. Parties may come and parties may go, but mayors and councils follow each other in endless succession, The rotary principle of gov- ernment applies with equal force to the board charged with the management and supervision of the police and fire department; The changes that are made from time to time in the member- ship of the board are nor expected to clog the wheels of government nor make a truce with lawlessuess. This much as a prelude. The police force of Omaha has been | sadly demoralized by internal dissen- | sion and lack of an efficient and incor- ruptible chief. The detective force Is worse than useless. Under such condi- tlons it is mot in the least surprising that Omaha should have become the stawping ground for burglars, footpads and sneak thieves. The audacious An- leuser-Busch safeblowing affords strik- ing proof of the dangerous condition in which Omaha finds herself at this day for want of proper police protection. Such a condition calls for prompt and decisive action at the hands of the police commission. Our citizens are en- titled to ample protection from highway men and midnight robbers and they look to the police commission for relief. It matters not whether the present commissioners are to hold their places for two months or for two years. The bourd has a duty to perform and its | discharge has already been deferred too long. The board should proceed to organize the police without fur ther delay. The first thing in order is the dismissal of Haze, who should hay been cashiered ‘months ago for flagrant THE OMAHA DAILY BERE: g) s et violttions #F @ police code, of which ample proofaswere furnished. The other members ofithe detective force shounld either be réffianded fo the ranks or dis- pensed with nifogether.

It would have been just as reasonable for these farm ers to ask Mr. Frewen and other min- ing speculators to have congress enact a law that will compel the government to buy up all their corn for a dollar a bushel, even if the highest market price of corn was less than fifty cents. Edghill, the telegraph messenger bo by his phenomenal riding has not only distinguished himself, but rendered a great vice to the telegraph com pany employing him. When the tele graph people put their messenger boys on wheels they made a great stride in advancement. A bicycle is the synonym of speed and the use of wheels by the ¢ messenger a standing card of quick delivery and expedition of busi- ne: The old, threadbare joke about the slecping messénger is now obsolete. So it las come o pass that every mes- senger boy who distinguishes himself as a speedy ¢yelist veflects credit upon and invites husiness for his employer. The world grows swifter day by day. The National Municipal league given us any amount of good advice but reluctant eitizen to active participa- tion in local politics it will have accom- plished the first important step. The farmers of Nebraska will not feel sorely grieved at the decision of the federal courts of New York that cut di monds are not exempt from import duty. Most of the farmers have managed to got along without cut dinmonds on their shirt fronts and finger rings for some time past. —_— Overworxing t mp. Washington Post. Hon.

They are for gold; they are for silver; they are for a paper currency, but every dollar, whether of paper, silver or gold, must be equal in purchasing power to every other dollar. This is the long and short of it, and they announce thelr firm conviction that the republicans in congress will attempt no legislation, will tolerate no legislation that does not have for its object and aim the main- tenance of this parity. They go further; they declare the republican party is wise enough to formulate legislation that will relieve the country ‘of all fears on the currency ques- tion, and that it will dp so. —_———— The Macs and Mcs Atop.

Among other cases left on the docket is that of John G. Moore, against J. S. Miller, commissioner of internal revenue, to enjoin Miller from collecting the income tax. While the Income tax has been deelared invalld by the decision in main cases, the case involved the additional question as to whether an executive officer can be enjoined against the enforcement of a law before a decision de- claring it unconstitutional has been rendered, and it remains to be seen whether the court will pass upon this point or simply dismiss the case. com- zainst the RENCD DISTRUST OF OUR PORK, Secretary Morton Adopting Strict Measurcs to Guarantee the Producr. WASHINGTON, June 4.—It is said at the Agricultural department that there s no truth in the published reports that pork o amined microscopically for export to Ger- many and France and found to contaln trichinae, is stamped by inspectors as free from disease and so exported and sold. Early in February Secretary Morton ordered all pork examined microscopically and that found to be affected with trichinosis tanked, but later it was decided that the present law did not give the secretary this authority The enforcement of the order was therefore postponed until July 1, when the law goes into effect. It is doubtful, howeve whether the new law will give him power to cause the destruction of pork affected with trichinae. It only authorizes the sccre- tary to make such regulations as he may deem necessary to prevent the shipment of condemned carcasses from one state to an- other and does not specifically give him jurisdiction over pork examined for trichinae and condemned to prevent its sale in the local market of the place where it is exam- ined. The local authorities alone cannot effect this unless the secretary secures from the shippers of pork to Germany and France (the countries requiring the inspection for trich- inae), voluntarily, agreements such as have been made with shippers of beef, mutton, etc., by which the latter agree to tank such carcasses as do not s the federal inspec- tion. Jf such regulation put in forc however, it is feared that the pork exporta tion to‘Germany and France will cease. “The percentage of pork affected with trichinosis is so large, said Mr. Salmon, ‘“‘that if all the carcas found to be affected went to the rendering vats, the shippers’ profits would all disappear.”” The amount of pork ex- ported to Germany and France averages from 5,000,000 to 7,000,000 pounds monthly. new Civil Service Examining Boards.
