Mr. Charles Offutt, an attorney who has made some reputation as a adviser of corporations, has rushed into print with an open letter adaressed to rnor Holeomb to admonish him as to his duties and prorogatives as chief executive of the state of Nebra Had this letter been written in a friendly temper instead of hristling with insult and disparaging innuendo it might have been entitled to respectful although the points tised by Mr. Offutt will not stand the test of eritical an Divested of technical verbig points raised by Mr. Offutt ave: that Governor Holecomb, 1l officer, has no right to assume to decide the question of the constitution ality of the new polic law, but must comply with its provi Second, that as chief exceuti stute the governor is in duty enforce all laws enacted by islature until these laws are ¢ 1 void by the courts, ‘Third, ghat the only n legally pursue is to join in the appointment of board of police. commissioners use the the military, to place it in possession of or Gov Iysis, the IMirst, as a minis- commission slons, of the to the It course the governor ¢ new and to if necessary the These points are power of office. 1 based on one un and that is that governor in con tenable assumption the of the nection with the appointment of police commissioners are ministerial, when, in fact, they are executive and discretion ary. No legislative mandate can com- pel the governor to abdicate executive power vested in him by the constitn tion. For examp'e, the constitution makes the governor commander-in-chief of the military forees of the state. Sup- pose the legislature should law that wonld vest the appointment of the governor's military staff or any militia officer in a board composed of the goy ernor, attorney general and commis. sioner of public lands, What would be the right and duty of the governor in such Would he be expected to abdicate his power as commandoer-in- chief to two civil officers because the legislature has overreached its author- ity? The itntion ves the par Jdng power in the governor. Sup pose o legislature should, without a dis senting vote, puss o law ereating a board of pardons made up of the gov- ernor, attorne, neral and commis sioner of public lands, Would the nor be obliged to comply with this law and act with board that de prived him of his constitutional prero rative? Would he be legally liable to impeachment if he should continue to xecutive clemeney and grant pardons in conformity with the const- tution id regarddess of the alleged law? The controversy over the police com mixsion act involves this very princi ple of executive rights and executive It is the manifest duty of the governor to protect these prero against legislative encroach- ment just he would any usurpation of constitutional powe and duties de volving upon hiu. It all depends, of course, whose ox is gored. When Governor Thayer, who was not even a candidate for re- election, refused to give up his office to the duly governor and sur- rounded himself with militia to defend what he considered his executive pre- rogative on the ground that, in his personal belief, James B, Boyd wag not eligible the oflice of rnor, 1o corporation lawyer ventured {o deny that he had a right to hold office until the courts should oust him. I'wo years ago, before the maximum rate law went into effect, corporation lawyers secured an injunction against its enforcement, and have kept it in abeyance ever sinee. In that case the duty of the State Board Transportation was purely winisterial. M. Offutt pretends o scout that there is any danger of disorder or viot if two police commissions are namnes The Bee makes bold to assert that there will be danger to lite and property in a conflict between two sets of police officers, It makes bold to as- sert furthermore that the course pur sued by Governor Ioleomb in trying to avert the impending conflict moeets with the hearty approval of the bes: citizens and the great tax payers. Instead of insulting and abus. ing the governor for doing all in his power to prevent a resort to force Mr. offutt should address his letters to the attorney general and the land commis- sioner, urging them to unite with the governor in securing a speedy adjudi- cation of the disputed constitutionality of the new law at the hands of (he supreme court. If Mr. Offutt has been retained to uphold the new law he should be ad of the opportunity which the actien suggested by the gov ernor will give him to have his clients’ case quickly disposed of by the only tribunal that can settle it. BIMETALLISTS ENCOURAGED. All testimony is to the effect that the lish bimetallists greatly en couraged by the the elections. 3 that with a unionist govern ment in power their has been much strengthened in official quarters nd exp that they will get a vespectful heaving from the new government, a they did not receive from its predecessor, The Rosebery government gave no counte. nanes whatever to the advoeates of bi metallism, 1t was as intolerant of the arguments from that rce as the free silver wen he functions 88 a case? cot Zov exercise elected sole to oV the idea mass of are result of oy say ause w8 confidence consideration sou the views of the true bimetallism, In the ministry there are several pronounced champions of a rebubilita tion of silver through international agreement and others, who, while they have not declared themselyes, are un- derstood not to be unfriendly to that policy But this Is the British wade a consi are of advoeates of Salisbury not all tl enconrages bimetallists,. They have able gain in the House While this question was not conspicuous in the campaign, it was not lost sight of by many of the con and it that in the textile manufacturing districts and the agricultural sections many candidates were elected on this question aloge. In stituencies is stated legal | | wholly | safe prediction that {1 some close districts the currency vote was undoubtedly strong enough to de cide the election. The influence of the Bimetallie league was brought to bear dircetly or Indirectly upon 250 boroughs and districts, in which candidates were questioned on this subject and their answoers published. Thus the influence of the league was widely exerted and the result shows with eff What the future operations of Rritish Dimetallists will be is not adowed, but it is easy to divine that of the things they will aim to nplish s to obtain representation in n international conference, if one shal be called. It ig probable that they will also seck, at liest opportunity, to got an expression from the government which will determine its sentiment re garding such conference, It is to be presumed that very soon after the re- assembling of Parliament the advoeates of bime will endeavor an expression from the government and its character will perhaps ba declsive of the question whethor or not a confor ence will be called, It is quite possible that the German government. to which all the interested countries are looking o the initiative, Is waiting to ascertain what the new British govern ment's attitude toward a conference will De would manifostly to invite the ions to confer regarding silver if that govern ment is having anything done looking to the larger recognition of silver by the mmereial This seems « the fore. on e the en sm to secure tuke be, e it b useloss adverse to ot « plansible explanation of the apparent apathy the German government regarding this matter. With this view of the situation the re assembling of the Biitish Parlinment will be of very interest to the friends of Dbimetallism everywhere, When it is considered that Mr. Balfous will the government leader in the House Commons it ought to bhe a o will be no ex to an international conference, fons, great be of pression unfriendly wmonelary THE TELEPHONE ORDINANCE The couneil is called upon ss an ordinance ordering all telephone wires in the district bounded by How- rd, nd Bighteenth streets under ground and the great argument urged in its favor is that it will give the work- ing man employment in laying conduits, This might be a good thing in its way if it really did what it purports do. But we are informed that now drawn the proposed ordinance will not compel the telephone company to put a single wire under ground. Al tel ephone wires in the district named arve alrendy buried. Why shouldn’t the ordinance be made to include the entire business ar bounded by Leavenworth, Cuming and Twenty-fourth streets? Such an ordi- nanee would be no hatdship upon the telephone company, as it wounld require it to lay but a couple of miles of con duit and would entail an expenditure of not more than $3.000. It would at the same time better effect the real ob. ject of the ordinance—namely, to keep out competing companies that are not veady to invest the eapital nocessary for a conduit The advantage ac- eruing to the telephone company onght 10 be well worth the expenditure of a few thousand doilars for lahor, REASSURANCE FROM ABROAD. ome weeks ago a prominent Amer- n financier who had been abroad annonnced that there had been a very decided ehange of feeling in the finan- clal centers of Europe regarding Amer- iean seenvities, which for nearly two rs ad been under a cloud of distrust, {and he predicted a larg ital in the hetter ¢ More recently the the treasury, who went fo lose up the bond transaction syndicate, brought back the that there was increasing confidence in American investments, the feeling abroad being that the United States is entering upon an era of great prosperity. Reassuring adviees have come from otlier sources. London news- paper correspondents state (hat finan- there speak hopefully of the im proved condition of the treasury, hav- ing reference’ to the gold reserve, and - express opinion that there will” not be a recur rence of the erisis which com- pelled the government to sell bonds in order to replenish the These British financiers are represented as saying that while there is nothing to prevent Wall street Wlators from exporting gold for the sake of influcnc. ing the market, operations of this kind cannot be dircetly profitable under ex- isting conditions of exchange, but only indivectly, by affecting the values of stock: There has been no very substantial evidenee as yet of the improved confi- dence abroad in American investments. A few weeks ngo there was a better de mand for our securities, but it was soon atisficd and the foreign market for these securities has been quiet But this is not to be construed as an unfavorable indication, or as discredit- ing the statements improved con- fidence in American investments, Th owners of idle capital in Europe, of which the amount is said to enor mous, want to be fully assured that the promise of good crops in this coun try will be realized, and they also want to nnmistakable indicat of a prolonged prosperity before sending their money here freely, financiers know that still a great deal of unemployed capital in the United States and that no more is necded at present.
