THE interstate CONNIE % commission
will SOON make an investigation of Cas-
tie Garden in relation to its connection
with the railroads. 1t is charged, and
no doubt with good reason, that the
railroad companies which form the
trunk-line pool have violated the inter-
state commerce act by unreasonable
charges for the carriage of immigrants
to the west; that they have created an
exclusive monopoly in the sale Of tickets
to this class of passengers and have for
bidden the sale of tickets by certain
routes. All this, if true, is in direct
violation Of the interstate commerce
act and should be adequately punished.
A thorough airing of the Castle Garden
clique is needed. 1t has too long been
station for feecing incoming strang-
ers.

THE very generous contribution made

THE very generous contribution made
by Congressman McShane to the hero
inc fund is quite in character with the
liberal disposition of that gentleman,
who is never appealed to in vain in be-
half Of any worthy cause. Mr.. McShane
does not seek commentator for such
acts of generosity, but in the present
instance we deem it proper to refer to
his liberality as an example worthy the
attention of other citizens Of Omaha
quite as able as he to be equally gener-
Gus. The fact is apparent to everybody
that thus far our wealthy men have not
shown that sympathy and interest in
behalf of Nebraska's heroic teachers
which was reasonably expected Of them.
The fund thus far has been subscribed
almost wholly by people Of moderate
with it having subscribed such sums
only as they might give to any ordi-
nary beggar who should momentarily
enlist their sympathy. We venture to
hope that it is not their intention to
continue in this unenviable attitude. 1t
may be that they are simply wait
ing until the popular subscriptions
have closed, when they will crown the
work with such generous contributions
as will be an honor to themselves and to
the community of which they are part.
1t would be gratifying to know that this
is their purpose. But meanwhile there
is naturally some surprise felt that the
wealthy men of Omaha are so derelict in
this matter, and it is therefore in order
to call their attention to the admirable
example OF Mr.. McShane.

RUSSELL SAGE seems anxious to show
the public what good man he is. He
has just signed petition for stricter
enforcement Of the Sunday laws Of New
York city. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that this news will not have any effect
on the grand jury which is soon to con-
slider the evidence duplicating Mr.. Sage
in the larceny of several millions of dol
lars from the stockholders OF the Kan
sas Pacific.

If it shall be shown that Senator In
porations, as would appear from his
unusual course in appointing the
democratic members of the special COM
mittee on the Pacific railroad commits
sion reports. he may find popular seuti-
ment in Kansas less lenient than it has
been regarding some Of his other wilful
blunders in public life. The allegation
is that he deliberately violated prece-
dent in order to serve the corporations.

Though hope and gay desire
Touch with their fire
Each fresh endeavor.

And still from day to day

To follow, follow, follow,

With fresh endeavor.
Sometimes, triumphant, gay,
The bugles play -
And trumpets sound
From out those giistening towers,
And rainbow showers
Bedew the CROWD;
Then "sweet, oh ,.syeet the way"
We smiling say,
And forward pFeSs
With swift, impatient feet.
And hearts that Beat

Sweet bugles play,
The trumpets blow,
Howe'er we flying taste,

We gain that peak

No more, we find,
Perchance, what we do seek.

Sunday night for disturbing the peace by
blowing police whistle. She was kept in

arraigned for the trial in the afternoon she

rendezvous when they should be on duty.
She also claimed that on the night in ques-
tion she was waiting on Mamie Brown, an
inmate of her house who was dying with
consumption. Two drunken fellows came
into her place and became noisy and rough.
She blew the police whistle to call the
officers, and they promptly responded by
running in, seizng her and dragging her off
to jail. She says she tried to explain matters
to them, told them why she blew the whistle,
and begged of them not to take her. as she
was the only person to take care Of the dying
girl. The police would not listen to her and
she was taken to the central station. Mamie
Brown was left without any care and yester-
day morning she was found dead in her bed.

released her. The police say Mrs. Bell was
