Newport might tajto Governor Wilson's objection to an Inaugural ball m indicating his indifference to social justice. Sir. Bakor intimates thnt our rIrb ImvQ nof, been scrambled by bad men. Thnt only tends to inglto suspicion of tho cgsta. Still, "Jim" Hill and hlo Burling ton officials ought to bo might grate fill for the flno dofousb which the World-Herald tried to put up for them. If, as is charged, there is such a thing aa a band of "professional" blackmailers at work hereabouts, then tho sooner they are exposed and mulshed the better. As usual, if all tho appropriations naked were to be put thrpugh by our Nebraska law-makers, the state treasury would be emptied several tines over and then somo.

It's the eaktoBt thing In the world for a member of the legislature to introduc-. r bill, Tho presumption is, however, that Uie bill must have some merit outside of Its sponsor to make the goal of enactment. It developed that modern gas. Is niiinu factored with a view to produc ing heat units rather than illtimtnat inp properties, which seems to be true, also with roference to much of the gas oratory now being Bet off. Nebraska is practically tied with Washington and Iowa tor first place among states boasting the least 1) literacy !a the populntlou, Eternal vigilance, however, is the price of safety, and Nebraska wljl havo to keep moving that others do not pass us. Auditor Howard seems to have a peculiar and unique notion that his business as a state officer Is. to ad minister ineorance laws rather than spend his time lobbying .for or against changes In tbo Insurance code. If this idea spreads to other atato offices it may produce a revolution. I A Municipal Civil Service. Nearly alt of our changes In form or city government in recent years have been In response to the public demand for tbo divorco nf tha man ageraent of local aTfalrs from general party politics. That Is the avowed aim of the com mission plan of city government, and tho purpose of removing, tho party label from tha ballot used in city elections. We have not. however, as yet laid tho foundation atono for non partisan municipal government, as It has been laid elsewhere, by the es tablishment of n municipal civil serv ice requiring merit appolntmont and promotions, and protecting the tenure of municipal employes. Every city of metropolitan im portance ought to be equipped with civil service machinery corresponding vith tho civil service machinery of tho federal government. The inex cusablo omission of this feature from our commission plan law makes It important, wo nellevn, to have It added at tho earliest possible mo inenL Free Meat and Cattle. Democratic leaders aro said to havo decided to place meat and cat tle on the free list when thoy go to frame their new tariff bill In the next session of oongreis. The bouse democrats voted for thi fit tho last sesalpn, knowing, of course, they lacked thn nmr.r make it final, But with the party in control or senate end executive, as well M the house, there will be ovory rflason to count on tho presi dential Apprpyal of any downward re vision. Tho point arlsos, thon, wjll tho dorriocrnpj proceed with their an nounced Plan of rcmovlnir th .riff from meat and cattle and throwing down tho barn to tho froo admission of theBo commodities from all other cbuntrlea? Already tho announce ment of this Intention has ovokod remonstrances from cattlo men of the west, Just aa has tho suggestion of tho possibility of free cotton Drought protest from the southern planter. Tho democrats. In their soberer moments, may come to ap. prcclato the difference between tariff tinkering as a minority uartv and nu the majority charged with tho responsibility for -what la done. If freo meat and free cattle roduces prjees, while satisfying tho consumer, It will not satisfy the producer, who in this caso is not tho merciless manufacturer, but the work-a-day farmer. Goal Combine Again. The Interstate Commerce commis sion but expresses a general belief in suggestlnsr that tho cost nf nnthrn- cjto coal and tho charges for its transportation from the mines to the market are excessive. Tho nlan of probing the relations existing be tween tho coal mine operators, and (he railroads should be carried to tho ppint of discovery of tho real causes for conditions stcadllv be. cpmlhg inoro burdensome to tho con sumer, it would bo Interesting, for Instance, to Us In this section of tho country to understand why it should cost 32. GO to transport a ton of anthraclto coal from , Chicago to umana, making our retail prices higher than in many elties where conditions aro about the same as here, But this is a local case, while this problom is genoral. Neverthe less tho mine owners scorn to suc ceed In using local conditions to control general conditions. Prices aro fixed forvthe season on the baols of a transitory occurrence at tho mines and the supply may Increase while the demand diminishes with out affecting the range of prices ar bitrarily decided on. These, aro things that should be aired somehow between the commission and the courts, A New Nevada Eldorado. Nevada, as one of tho potentially great western state, comes forth heralding a New Eldorado In a land Where New Eldprados have been numerous. Another groat gold ntrlko IB proclaimed, more promising. It Is said than Tonapah, Nevada Is ait wn- Jpire of mineral wealth and can al ways get an auctonco with Uie an nouncement of another prodigious gold discovery. But even Its. alld claims are not proof against spurious imitation. In the wake of every great gold find follows a train of fake mine promotion, and thousands of unsophisticated people, eager to "et in on the ground Hoar," are swindled with worthless stock con sisting solely of artistically engraved and highly embossed paper certifi cates. Doubtless the professional pro moter wit) be on band this tlmo to pick up a few stray fortunes by the same old method, but If so ho is likely to meet with more serloua ob stacles than ever before, tor Uncle Sam has grown grimly cautious ot mining stock frauds in tho last few years and accomplished much to ward preventing them. It goes a great deal harder nowadays wlUi this species of fakers than it did, for tho Postofflco department Is tired of lending itself, unintention ally, to their profit. t The Influence of tho Commercial club ought to be toward making the Fourth in Omaha safer and eaner each year.

WUTH OMAHA. Jan. iO-To the Editor Of The Boet History ought to b kent Straight. During Governor Holcomb's administration the labor clause was first inserted In our charter. The Hoctor charter comrnitu hav th labor clause removed from that Instrument Perhap It would be well to refresh th memory of ypur South Omaha reader with what might be called ancient history. Jn the year ISM th packing house em ployes demanded a raise In wages, which wa refused, consequently they had to resort to th old weapon, the strike. At th dictation of the packers, a nomber of distinguished ettlien-nolltlHan. an. poaled to Ueutenant Governor Tom Majorswho was acting governor and a candidate for governor that comlnr'fail to declare martial law and send the mllltla to bayonet and hoot down tha hungry worklngmen, who refused to wont ror starvation wage. A gatllng gun wa placed on N street. War was de clared similar to the Balkan States. The gatllng.gun, shotgun and plckhandle brigades were turned loose and chaaed the poor strikers over God's creation. SU1I enough of the strikers' spirit re mained to light the labor cause to victory yet The righteousness of the labor cnue will never down. It Is a moral cause. It l a holy cause. Mr. Major, who compiled with the request of the packers' lackeys to send tlio army was nominated for governor, also Judge Holoomb. The lato lamented editor of The Bee, Hon. Ed ward Rosewater, supported Mr. aio'l-comb- Mr .Rowater was always a friend of the laboring men gnd they stood by him and ducted Mr. Holcomb. To pre. vent the scabs from getting Jobs on the streets, Jfr. Rosewater suggested get ting a union labor Clause inserted In h oharUr. That I the history of the labor clause. How history repeats Itself, wit neas how the servile tools of the packers or baring the labor clause abolished. J may that the labor clause is violated helter-ekclter by the city officials and contractors. To prove my assertion an Investigation of the JJ30.000 sewer and a few other small Hems will tell the tale. JERRY HOWARD. Jfo DnrU Lantern Pardnnn. OSCEOLA, Neb..

Underestimate Purrocr 'Intelligence. 8COTT0 BLUFF, Neb., Jan. 30. -To tho Editor of The Bee; Charley Woosler Is getting old and Irritable, as is empha sized by the protests against farmers' uplift associations, lie feels about that as I do about some of the seed corn spe cial service. I remember listening to one of Roose velt's rural life commissioners tn Omaha som years ago, In which ho explained how to select seed corn. Ho looked wis and his audience appeared to be inter ested and learning something. But there were few farmers In the audi ence, I happened to bo a farmer boy and somo forty years ago my father taught mo the methods of selecting seed corn which the rural lifer had recently learned The fact Is, the farmer Is about three or four laps ahead of these fellows who ar trying to teach him. Another fact Is that the big business of the country s plumb disappointed at Its Inability to check and control Amer ican agriculture as it would wUh. They are strenuously advocating a bureau to eduoate the farmers to their way ot thinking and they aro holding: up the al luring sign of low interest, with a view pf obtaining the consent of the agri culturist to converting his farm Into stocks and bonds, whloh are preferable as security for loans, because they do not necestltaU the delay of foreclosure and r. default of Interest will Instantly relieve a home maker Of any equity In home. ' Agriculture hex doubled In the lost decade tn spit of upllfters and manu factured panics, and much time has been found to clean up some of the dirty polities ot the country. An illustration ot whit farmer ara doing may be found by relating a llttl experience of F. F. Everett a farmer and dairyman of this community. . On twenty-two acre ot land, about bne- thtrd of which wa not prime land, iaml which for two years had bean In sugar beets he drilled In two bushels of Kher? son oats snd twelve pounds of alfalfa eeed. He harvested l.'CO bushal of forty- pound oata and obtained a good stand of alfalfa. I'll venture that not one in Un of tb farmer upllfters con tell what kind ot oatg ara Kherson, or where they originated. G- L. 8HUMWAT. What Mskei the Difference. Baltimore American.
