And he was preceded by assistant janitors num- bering all the way from first to sixth. The house did not employ one janitor for each member simply because it did not havé chairs enough for them to hold down. Only 547 miles of new railroad track were laid in the United States during the present year to date, according to official figures. This indicates that the era of railroad construction has about closed and it is fair to presume that a mew era will not be ushered in until some safeguards can be put against swindling construction rings and wa- tered stock jobbers. And it is well. Governor Holcomb has reason to feel proud of the honor bestowed upon him at the complimentary dinner tendered him by the Commercial club of Omaha.

He occupied a unique plac among contemporary scientists and none of them contributed more than he n. He Wwas a most laborious worker and has left the results of his labor in many volumes which will be studied for gen- erations to come. Some of his theories, particularly in regard to the relations of man to the lower animals, which commanded universal attention when propounded, have been pretty gencrally discredited, but there still remains an g 2 MORAL DEGENERACY OF OFFICIALS. An honest man is the noblest work of God. Integrity is the touch stone of character and the bed rock on which rests the superstructure of national and individual eredit. The most la- mentable feature of American public life today is the lowering of moral standards that prevail among men who hold positions of honor and trust, A striking example of the moral de- generacy that invents excuses for ve- nali nd glosses over acts which the law defines as misdemennors and felon fes Qs afforded in the letter of Acting City Attorney Cornish to Mayor Bemis, giving his views and volunteering his advice relative to the de tion in the Omaha city treasury. As the law officer of the city Mr. Cornigh is in dut bound to uphold the rights and inter- ests of the municipal corporation. As the legal adviser of the mayor he is expected honestly to point out the conrse which the woordains with re gard to the efficient execution of the lnws, The law constitutes defaleation by a city treasurer a high crime and com- mands the council to depose the of- fender without del It furthermore it the duty of the mayor to file complaints in the district court against 1 offic who have been guilty of S neg! nee or ane In- stead of sustaining the upholding the rights and inter the taxpay resent, Mr. Cornis of Sts s whom he is paid to rep- I becomes the special pleader for cmbezzlement, extols de- faulters and has the audacity to assert that the city will not only not lose a dollar, but will in the end gain by this experience, He prates about a reputa- tion destroyed and the sufferings which ihe defaulting officer must endure. Who destroyed this reputation, we pray? What an insult to the intelligence of the mayor! The most outrageous and inexcusable part of the Cornish letter is his prevari- \tion concerning the practices of for- city treasurers. According to Mr. Cornish, Mr. Bolln las done nothing worse than each of his predece Did any of the preceding treasurers squander public funds in debaucher Did Truman Buck or John Ry b gam- Dle in the grain pit with city ‘money?

The intimation t Mr. Bolln is the victim of persecution begotten by po- litical contention is devoid of truth and pettifogging of the lowest Kind. Tt is simply amazing that an attorney of the pretensions of Mr. Cornish should ave such a debased ideal of official in- and public dut PERILS THAT MENACE THE COUNTRY. A notable address, which has elicited much comment, not all of it of an ap- proving nature, was delivered by Ju tice Brown of the United States su- preme court before the law department of Yale coilege on last Monday. It was largely devoted to a consideration of certain perils which in the opinion of the distinguished jurist menace the fmn- mediate future of the country and even threaten the ty of its institutions, the most prominent of which he stated to be municipal corruption, corporate greed and the tyranny of labor. With regard to the first of these, Justice Brown said that on the one hand there is indifference to publie affairs bred by the intense activiti of city life and the absorbing pursuit of wealth and pleasure, while upon the other hand the expenditures are so larg the value of the franchises at the di posal of the cities so t and the op- portunities for illicit gain so manifold that the municipal legislators, whose standard of honesty is rarely higher than the average of those who elect them, fall an easy prey to the de- signing and unscrupulou: In thus pointing out what conduces to munici pal corruption the remedy is suggested. It will be found in the manifestation of greater interest in public affairs on the part of those citizens who should be most deeply concerned in honest ad- ministration and good government. If business men generally, professional men and all the better class of citizens were less indifferent to public affairs the character of municipal legislators would be improved and with it the standard of honesty. Men would be chosen to public positions whom the signing and unscrupulous could not and would not attempt to. But rever the selection of municipal legislators and other officials is left to the professional politicians there will always be corruption. This has been the universal experience and ever will be. With regard to corporate greed as a source of peril to the state, Justice Brown pointed out a serious evil in the ease with which charters are procured in one state by corporations to do busi- ness in oth tes, out of which come it abuses. Railroads are built in lifornia under arters granted by the states east of the Mississippi for the purpose of removing their litigation to federal courts and the greatest frauds are perpetrated in the construc tion of such roads by the directors themselves, But worse than this, in the opinion Justice Brown, is the combination of corporations in so-called trusts, to limit production, stifle compe- tition and monopolize the npeessaries of | Jife. The extent to which this has al- veady been earvied, he declarved, s alarming; the extent to which it may heveafter be earrvied i revolutionar “The truth is," he said, “that the en- tire corporate legislation of the country is sadly in need of overhauling, but the ditficulty of procuring concurrent action on the part of forty-four states is apparently insuperable.” The most inunediate peril Justice Brown regarded as being the tyranny of labor, which he sald arises from the apparent inability of the laboring man st to perceive that the rights he exacts he must also concede. permanent peace between capital and an encouraging one, though it is possible that a com- upon it labor he promise basis ring, 11 becom capitalist. that the ¢ labor has 1 and it may | an indefinit hs standing pr act of emple both have P direction and better Cadet Taylor.

RIVUS TROUBLE. All the advices from Washington in reference to the boundary controversy and Vene uggest the possibifity that it may ulti- involve the United States in ous trouble with England. The re- cent concession of territory by the Venezuelan government to an Ameri- can company, which territg is said to be a part of that claimed by Great Britain, it is expected will call out a protest from the British government, as it appears the fon did ten : intro- one Ameriean interests involved.

Certainly be fore giving ft rggognition the govern- ment would requipe o be fully assured that the concession, was made in per- fect good faith and it is not altogether clear that this assurance could be given The governmert of the United States has made a very, enrnest endeavor to induce the British government to sub. mit the whole boundary controversy to arbiteation. This the Jatter has de clined to do, being willing to arbitrate only as to certain territory to which its claim is clearly questionable. This gov crnment has, therefore, done all that can reasonably be expected of it in be- half of Venczuela and t country must settle the controversy as best it can, looking to the United States only for such support may be nec 4 to prevent the further spoliation of Venezuelan territory. Unquestionably the sympathy of the American people is very strongly with the southern repub- lic. There s not the least doubt of the injustice of British encroachments upon its territory. But the case is not one which would justify the United States incurring in the risk of a war with BURY MINISTRY, The ministry formed by the marquis of Salisbury is unquestionably a strong one, at least from the conservative point of view, its makeup showing the operation of shrewd political judgment. Bspeclally is this apparent in the se- lection of unionists for some of the more important positions.

The appointment of Mr. Goschen, a man of very superior ability, who w chancellor of the exchequer in Salis- bury’s previous administration, as first lord of the admiralty, seems an excel- lent one.

The new government does not propose to assume any responsibility for legis- lation by the present Parliament, and, as now appears, will firml t upon dissolution before making any declara- tion of conservative policy. Dissolu- tion and an appeal to the people will probally come within the next two or three we when the intentions of the conservatives will be made known. The liberal manifesto has already been issued and shows adherence to the well known policies of the party, with lome rule as the foremost principle. The course of political affairs in Great Britain in the near future promises to be exceedingly interesting.

A rate of elghty miles an hour Is sald to have been attained during one of last week's experimental trips. 1f it shall prove as superior to the steam locomotive in economy of operation, and its equal in strength, the days of the latter are num- bered. But there seems to be some doubt on these points. Do Lawyers Buffal With a good many of them the chief aim and end of life seems to be to find loopholes in the law by which its purpose can be de- feated. In ordinary practice at the bar a legal quibble counts for more than principle or Justice. As many suits are won on technical- ities as on their merits. Many big corpora- tions hire the best lawyers they can find to study means by which the law can be evaded without incurring the penalties that would attach to direct violation. Does it betoken respect for the law on the part of the lawyers that they so willingly lend themselves to such work? e S Omaha's College Settlemont. St. Paul Ploncer-Press. Omaha has a college settlement that offers almost as great inducements in the way of genuine hardship as would a_missionary ex- pedition to Central Africa. It is in a_part of the city that corresponds to our Swede Hollow or Bohemian flats, Taking up a residence in such a locality makes & genuine demand on the sincerity and fortitnie of the settlement worker. Swede Hollow is far more picturesque than a New York sium, but it does not offer as mnv facilities for comfort. To brave the scasoms changes in such a locality would prove that sonithing more than mere sentiment was behind the work. u S g Clean Out the Corruptionists, We Laborer, As ono of the results of rottenness in the offico of the city treasurer which recently ne to light, Treasurer Bolln has been ced by public sentiment to resign. good reason has yet been shown why Justice should not be meted out to a defaulter or embezzler of thousands of dollars of pub- lic funds just as swiftly and impartially as it is to a poor workingman who steals only hundreds of cents from a corporation, but who unfortunately s without the backing of political wire pullers and millionaire ac- quaintances, This piece of political rottenness is only one of several pieces of the kind which the peo- ple of Omaha and Douglas county have lately suffered to remain a stench in the nostrils of decent folks. Is it not about time for some Kind of a popular uprising in the In- terest of honest municipal government? —_—— AL AND OTHERWISE, PERSO. It is worthy of note that Kentucky is in- clined to take her currency stralght. Admiral Da Gama, leader of the Rio revo- lutionists, ended an inglorious career in sul- cide. The Kentucky democratic convention strug- gled for three days to reach a ““lame and im- potent conclusion.” Makers of cannon crackers will find it dif- feuit to convince the public by afdavit that they are not in league with the coroners, Emma Nevada has an S-year-old daughter, Mignon, who is said to rival her romantic namesake in the witchery of her dancing, her birdlike volce, and her dazzling beauty. Fifty bottles of champagne for each mem- ber of the press was the liquid ration at Kiel. The wonder is not that the reports were full, but that there was a report at all. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton disproves the charge that women cannot keep a secret For forty-odd years she refrained from acknowledging that she was the first wearer of the bloomers, Ex-Governor Hoard of Wisconsin enjoys the distinction of being one of the best dairymen of the northwest. He will not waste feed on a cow that will not earn $50 a year with- out working over the butter. 1t is announced that Mr. Sibley, the million- aire silverite, has concluded not to be a candidate for the presidency. This sad news will deprive the campaign of “alliteration’s artful aid,” and the essential lubricant in coplous quantities. The increased sale of stamps at the Au- burndale, Mass., postoffice has raised the salary of the postmistress, Miss Louise Imogen Guiney, from $1,700 to $2,400. Miss Guiney 1s convinced now that a boycott is a 80od thing if it is of the right kind. s THE ISSUE IN KENTUCKY, Denver News (pop): The result at Louis- ville will not lessen the vigor of the gallant free coinage men of the south. On the con- trary they will press the fight with renewed determination. But it should make clear to them that there is little to be hoped for from either of the old parties. Detroit Free Press (dem.): Those free sil- ver organs and leaders that so confidently foretold a victory for the white metal in Kentucky have now nothing left them but explanations and excuses. Senator Black- burn, who was going to carry with him the great rank and filo of the democracy, was turned down by his own district. Globe-Democrat (rep.): The victory for the sound money men on the platform deliverance in the Kentucky convention was complete and overwhelming. At every point the sil- verites were beaten. This is an Appomattox victory for the honest dollar cause. Outside of Colorado, Montana and Nevada the silver monometallists are outnumbered, outclassed and discredited. Chicago Inter Ocean (rep.): One of the great battles of the season has just been fought at Louisville. It lasted two days. On one side were Cleveland, Carlisle, and gold, on the other Blackburn and silver. The two forces were so nearly evenly divided that a small contingent of unc dubbed conservatives, held the balanc power. After alternating fortunes the C's and gold won. Kansas City Star (ind.): money question is concerned, Kentucky is ended. So far as the the fight In The republicans adopted a strong sound money platform, with little opposition to it. The democrats mow, by a vote of three to one, have refused to stand for free silver coinage, so the political cam- palgn in Kentucky between the two parties will' probably bs fought on state lssues, and on the question of personal popularity of candidates. Indlanapolis Journal (rep.): But while this indorsement of equal-value coinage is suffl- clently explicit and the victory is emphatic, the minority is in an ugly frame of mind They are not only beaten in the matter of silver colnage, but in their defeat thelr blatant leader, Senator Blackburn, goes down. For the first time In a state convention the dash and force of Blackburn did not carry the majority. Four years ago, on a proposi- tion in favor of the free coinage of silver, he carried the convention with him Chicago Tribune (rep.): The result of the vote was a great victory for the sound money men in the conventlon, and furnishes strong ground for believing that the democracy of Kentucky will not indorse the silver craze at the polls next year. The majority report was adopted by an overwhelming majority after vain attempts had been made to cut out the indorsements of the course of Pre dent Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle, an equally futile effort to oblain a respec ble number of votes for the minority report. ina| KALEIDOSCOPIC Chicago Dispatch: The Georgla water: melon I8 again in our midst.
