NO SHIRkING.

The everlasting wrangle about the
county hospital is becoming very tire
some to the taxpayers of Douglas county.
For long months past there has been
scarcely meeting of the board OF
county commissioners at which the mat
ter has not been up for discussion. 1t is
high time that the unseemly sguabble
should close. Whoever is directly re-
sponsible for the wretched work which
has been done the commissioners will
be held to q final accounting by the
public. The selection of practical
superintendent was step in the right
direction towards doing what could be
done to repair the damage. Personal
interests or those of shirking con tractors
should not now be permitted for
one moment to stand in the way of q
rigid carrying out of his suggestions
for making the building strong and
safe. No greater calamity could happen
than the acceptance of dangerous
building for housing the sick and in
sane of this county. Criminal negli-
gence can. 60 no further than to permit
the erection of a death trap after pub
lie attention has been called to the
available means for securing perfect
safety.
For more than year THE BEE has in
season and out of season urged vigil
ance upon the commissioners, and
printed the reports of the
shiftless work upon the struc-
ture. Citizens have personally
called the attention of members of the
board to the manner in which the con-
tract requirements were being shirked.
Workmen themselves ON the walls
have protested against the job. The
only answer for months to remon-
STRANGE. appeal and protest was a dis
graceful row in the board as to whether
architect. superintendent or contractors
were to blame. Now we have another
dispute in progress about the plans,
additional delay and the board hesitat-
Ing as to where the blame lies for the
new disagreement.
The commissioners may be sure
that the public will not permit
them to shirls the RESPONSE
bility which justly belongs TO
themselves alone. AS the trustees of
the county money and the disbursers for
the taxpayers under the contract made
by themselves, they will be held to a
strict accounting for the result. They
cannot hide behind charges of faithless
contractors and incompetent superin-
tendence. Both the one and the other
are entirely under their control and
subject to their supervision. The COM
missioners are quite as competent as
the average taxpayer to know bad work
when they see it and to interpret con-
tract made and signed by the board and
paid for out OF the public funds. If they
refuse TO perform their duty and to
properly carry out a sacred trust they
will be compelled to take the conse-
quences.

curing "a professor from Oxford
or Cambridge, especially distinguished
in his departme ent of learning, this law
would step in to prevent them under
the construction now given it.
The purposepf the law, it is presumed
all intelligent people understand, was
to prevent tDe importation OF foreign
laborers under contract, aud to this ex-
tent it is D., judicious and necessary
measure. Before its enactment the
great corporations were all the time
loading upon the country vast numbers
OF foreign labofers, the greater part of
them the most ignorant, immoral and
otherwise Objectionable class. This was
not only disastrous to the labor
already here, but it introduced
into the population an element
which was socially harmful and which
caused great deal of trouble. This
the law was intended to do away with,
and it has been largely successful. But
congress was not careful to make the
terms of the law such as to confine its
operation to the legitimate purpose for
which it was enacted, and the result is
that 1t has been given much broader
application than was originally de-
signed, and with no greater apsurdity
in any case than the one presented by
the Catholic university. The law needs
modification, SO that the country shall
be relieved from the ridiculous posi-
tion of excluding foreign scholars
aud others, in no strict or
proper sense, laborers, unless they
voluntarily came here to seek employ
ment. 1t is bad enough to keep out
foreign art by tax, but it is far worse
to exclude foreign learning, which may
be required for the greater usefulness
OF our educational institutions. Such
policy is absolutely without necessity or
justification, and is stigma upon the
country.

and the workingmen must be deeply touched with the solicitude manifested for them by party that has just voted to tax them up higher by the passage of the senate tariff bill Republican inter- est in the poor workingman is some thing sublime-as minstrel man said recently at the opera house, it would bring tears from glass eye. But some how the poor workingman has got mo- tion that he gets the small end of the interest every time.
 If we are to have an extra session let's have the real reasons set forth. Let's have a spade called spade, and if the republicans want the offices why don't they say SO? Genuine democrats have no desire to be unwelcome guests at the republican feeding crib, and there will probably be little disposition to en- barrass the hungry office-hunters who are looking for the berths now filled by democrats. But there ought to be no beating around the bush. The surplus ought not to disturb party that has systematically prevented its reduction and it don't. It's the offices-as Flanagan of Texas said, that's what the patriots are after.
 And that's the object of the extra ses- sion

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Indications multiply that General Harrison will be forced to call the Fifty first congress together ill extra session immediately after his inauguration. A number of republican senators, among them Senator Platt of this state, have declared in favor of it, and the matter has been practically decided in accord ance with their wishes.
 The alleged purpose of the extra ses- sion is the necessity of reducing the sur plus, which was industriously ridiculed by republican papers and politicians dur ing the campaign. The real purpose, however, is to get control of the house of representatives and the patronage that goes with it, and to strengthen the re- publican organization by grabbing all the spells that may be lying around loose and turning the ''democratic rascals" out. It is naturally galling for repubi- cans to see democrats munching govern ment pap after the party has laid down the reins, and they don't propose to have them do it if they can prevent. It is not surprising, therefore, that the cry has gone forth for an extra session and that it is being shouted right Justify by the big and little organs of the party. Of course " the interests of labor ," are urged as the moving cause,

A PLEASANT SIGN.

It is gratifying to learn that the strik- ing car drivers and conductors in New York are disposed to refrain from vio- lence in the enforcement of their de- mand for shorter hours and more pay. Organized labor Is always on trial on such occasions, and by its acts is it judged by those who find pleasure and profit in denying its rights to existence. By organization we believe labor is most powerful to promote its interests, and that without it the capitalists and others who would keep it down have their greatest opportunity. But when a strike Is undertaken in the name of organized labor the strikers should be peaceful, law-abiding, orderly and conservative, reaching their ends through legitimate means. In this way they will win a public sympathy that nothing else can secure for them which will be very powerful in forcing from the companies justice in the settlement of the strikers claims
 Wisdom, prudence and discretion are needed at this time. That there is little violence, and little disposition generally to resort to,it is gratifying to the friends of organized labor everywhere.

TRUTH BEFORE HUMBUG

The Bridgeport Farmer thinks demo- cratic attacks upon the principlee of civil service reform are imprudent and out of order because they may aid to recon cile public sentiment to the clean sweep that is coming. We think, however, that they are the better democrats who at this or any other time rail at the hum- bug system that has neither the ap- proval of republicans nor the sanction of democrats. The whole system of civil service reform is a farce and a fraud-it has nothing to lean on but hypocrisy, deceit and humbug. It is out of place in a republic-this is gov ernment of the people, and therefore a government by party. The Jetfersonian test is the true one by which all appoint ments to office should be gauged, and it may be superfluous to remark that there is nothing suggestive of Jefferson about this latter day freak.
 Let the republican party chant their lying song for reform-the only reform they believe in, the only reform they are going to practice is to put the democrats out and put the republicans in Democrats who are up to snuff know this it is only the rainbow chasers that have any hopes otherwise. And it may be remarked that there are fewer rain bow chasers ill the democratic party then there used to be.
 The place for good democrats to be under republican administration is with their party-on the outs. Then when David Bennett Hill is elected in 1892, they may hope to see the republicans among the goats.

This question long had been upon my lips; l asked it. trembling to my finger tips; She did not falter, thoughhe voice was tow; The answer that she made was simply, No" She did not look upon me with surprise; She did not from my glance avert her eyes; But in her cheeks saw the roses glow, As she with gentle firmness answered, No" She used no trick or artifce with me; She diI not say a sister she would be, And no confusion did the maiden show As to my question she responded, No" She just had told me that she loved me well; lasked, will you e'er love another so:" And to this question twas she answered, NO.

BRITISH ENTRADIrION.

The Emmet club of New Haven has forwarded to Senators Platt and Hawley a ringing protest against the adoption of the British extradition treaty which Is formulated on the lines of objection already laid down in these columns. The senators from Connecticut are or should
 be aware that they will mortally offend they should vote to accept a treaty that is drawn and worded at the express die tation of the British Minister West and which makes it possible to eXtradite persons who may incur British hostility
 for acts done or words spoken on Am
 and stripes. It is not likely that they
 will be willing to agree to any such viii lainous or unconstitutional treaty.
 It is gratifying to be able to announce, from the news that comes from Wash ington that there seems little prospect for the success of the treaty. The in strument has fewer friends to-day
 than it had last summer when it was agreed to postpone further discussion of it until after the
 presidential election. It was unpopular in the senate then and it is an object of something like hatred now. Nor is this hatred confined to either party. The | democratic senators, even though the treaty is supposed to have been drafted l by democratic minister and approved | by his chief, hate the document quite as | cordially as the republicans whose mem | bers on the foreign affairs committee | inserted the most objectionable clauses
 at the express wish of Minister West.
 cratic senators that Minister Phelps
 and Secretary Bayard were overreached
 by Lord Roseberry in the original draft
 of the treaty, and that Senator Sherman
 and his republican colleagues on the l foreign affairs committee were trapped by Minister West. It is more than pro-
 bable, as both parties in the senate feel
 on the matter, that the treaty will be
 rejected by a decided majority. Certain
 it is that most if not all the democratic | SeIdlolS, llc ltStll o1 tDtlldlo1S
 Eustis and Voorhees,, will rally against it
 and there is little fear that enough
 republicans will vote for the instrument
 to secure its adoption.
 | This country is bound to look carefully
 after the protection of its subjects, and
 any treaty that would make amenable
 to foreign vengeance persons who op- pose foreign governments within the constitutional limits of American citi-
 zenship would strike a deadly blow at
 the rights and privileges of American sovereignty. And let us hope that this
 country has not yet sunk so low that it will surrender the highest and most sacred prerogatives of American citizen
 ship.
 The duty of Connecticut's senators is
 clear. They must vote to reject the
 British extradition treaty. Will they do it:
