SENATOR CULLUM, who is chairman
of the senate committee Investigating
railway relations with Canada, states
that he has made up his mind that ulti-
mately Canada and the United States
will have to inaugurate an arrangement
corresponding to the present interstate
law. He has found that the officials of
Canadian roads all affirm that the law
hurts them, while American railroad
officials assert that Canada profits most
by the measure. The two senate COM
mittees, headed respectively by Mr..
Cullom and Mr.. Hoar, which have been
looking into our railway and commercial
relations with Canada and ascertaining
public sentiment thereon, have made
some discoveries that doutless neither
OF them expected. The most important
of these is the widespread feeling in
favor OF closer relations with Canada.
Senator Hoar is reported to have ex-
pressed great surprise at fuding how
general this sentiment is in the north
west, and very likely Senator Cullom
has been quite as much surprised at
what he heard of like tenor in the east.
Recently the Boston executive business
association, an organization repre- sent
ing the most important business inter
ests in the city, adopted resolution
opposing any change in our laws in
tended to restrict the competition af-
forded to the merchants and coasum-
ers of New England by the Cana
dian railways. A like feeling was
found to exist among the busi-
ness men OF the northwest. There is
no difference of opinion in either
section regarding the necessity of re-
| quiriug the alien railroads doing basi-
ness in the United States to conform to
| our laws relating to such business, but
| the opposition to shutting out the com
| petition of the Canadian roads is very
general and earnest. The problem is u
delicate and difficult one, and its solu-
tion will require broad and wise
statesmanship. Perhaps it will be
found ut last only in a commercial
union which will make the United
States and Canada virtually one as to
al their trade relations.

THE SITE SELECTED.

The new federal building has been
definitely located on the site that was
originally designated for this purpose
by Mrs. Grover Cleveland. A weak
kneed, vacillating secretary of the
treasury, bullied and threatened into
submission by Senator Henderson, has
fathered the job, begotten by the demo-
cratic administration.
In the decision itself all citizens of
Omaha must acquiesoe. Their inter
est has been and is now to have the
new postoffice building erected as
rapidly as is consistent with red tape
and the delays always incident to pub
lie construction. That the site chosen
is not the best among those offered
must be charged up to Senator Mander-
son.
Viewed from standpoint outside of
all personal considerations, it will soon
be manifest that Omaha has been
crippled and her growth ma
terially retarded. Had the
Lowe Hoagland site or the corner
of Eighteenth and Farnam been desig-
mated there would have been quarter
of million dollars expended this sea-
son for grading alone. Whole blocks
would have gone down to grade and
given place to palatial structures to
match those already up between Six
teenth and Eighteenth streets. A
| million dollar hotel would have inev-
itably followed and building boom
such as we have never seen would have
| been induced.
Now what improvements are we likely
| to get around the Planters house square
as the result of the site selectedp Who
will build anything worth looking at in
that vicinity? Father-in- law Crounse
may possibly expend five hun
dred dollars in fresh paint
ing his block. Judge Neville
will probably erect two or three-story
fat with stores underneath, and tho en-
| terprising Folsoms will have a few more
posies and roses potted in the hot house
on their leased corner. jim McShane
may possibly build another livery stable.
The remaining property owners will
benefit the community by hosting the
price of their real estate and waiting
for some eastern spectators to come in
and buy them out. This is tho unvar-
nished picture of the effect of Mr.. Man
derson's dictatorship.
| We expect, of course, that our con-
temporaries who oppose everything that
THE BEE favors, no matter how bene.
fetal to Omaha, will say that the
selection of the site is u black eye tc
THE BEE. II by this is meant that
THE BEE will suffer in common with
the whole city, we shall not quarrel
with the statement. The BEE has be.
come an integral part OF Omaha, and,
as such, anything that checks the city's
growth or curtails its prosperity is dam
aging. The immediate effect upoa THE
BEE and its newspaper building will
scarcely be perceptible. THE BEE
building stands on the corner of Seven.
teenth and Farnam, and not on the cor.
ner OF Eighteenth and Farnam, as some
people have been led to believe. The
west part of the new postonice building
will be on Seventeenth street. In othoi
words, the east side of the new BEf
building and the west side of the new
postoffice building, will be within q
block and a half Of each other on tie
same street. Ne shall not lose much

United States Court.

William d. Mead, of New York, petitions
Judge Dundy to grant him an injunction
against George j. Paul, Gustave Hengen, J.
l.. Rice and john l.. Denny, who desire to
move house from lots 12, 13 and II, in block
3, Reddick's Park addition, claimed by him
under foreclosure of mortgage. The in-
junction was ordered.
A civil feature of the Harlan-Klt Cartar
cattle company muddle is on trial before
Judge Dundy. VIM. j. MCCLELLAN. president
of the former corporation, stands as plain
tiff against the latter, and the suit involves
a mortgage of $4,000.
The decision given by Judge Brewer. of
the United States circuit court, in the cele-
brated Howard S. Lovejoy case, has been af-
firmed by the United States supreme court.
Loveioy was receiver of the land office at
Niobrara and defaulted. He was sued by
the governments and convicted to pay Judge
ment of Sl2, ,937.34.

lican company, was authorized by Judge
Dundy to borrow $40, 900 on tho property, at
the corner Of Tenth and Douglas, for the
purpose of paying off the present mortgage.

II he's turned out that what was first
put forward more in jest than in earnest
has come to pass in Pennsylvania. The
Johnstown disaster has put a serious
damper upon the canvass in that state
on the prohibition amendment to be
submitted to the people on the 18th.
The prohibitionists three weeks ago
were working might and main for their
cause and were meeting with some sue
cesses. But ever since the dreadful
loss OF life and destruction OF property
the people Of Pennsylvania have been
too busy thinking of the unfortunates
to have half mind for politics. The
defeat of the amendment is more than
certain, and the cold water advocates
will have the deluge OF the Conemaugh
as the EXCUSE for their hard luck.

A FRIEND OF the BANKS.

The new comptroller OF the currency.
Mr.. Lacey, is q strong friend OF the Ma
tional banking system. He believes
that the interests OF both the people
and the government require that the
system shall be maintained, and he
loses no opportunity to impress this
view upon membcrsof congress, and
particularly those from the west. He
thinks the system ought to be main
tanned even II the banks were allowed
TO greatly reduce the deposit Of bonds
for circulation, compulsory under the
law as it now stands. His policy, like
that OF his predecessor, is to
extend the system as much as
possible in the west and
southwest, with q view to making its
advantages better understood in COM
munities unfriendly 1T. Mr.. Lacey is
"a practical banker, and he is reported
to be giving careful study to the several
methods which have from time to time
been suggested for preserving the sys-
tenn. 1t is expected that he will renew
the recommendation of his predecessor,
that the banks be authorized to issue
notes to the full amount OF the bonds de-
posted as security; that the tax on
circulation be repealed, and that the
minimum OF circulation allowed be re-
duced.
The question of new legislation for
the national banks will in all probabil- :
ity engage the attention of the next
congress, bdt it can not be said ut pres
ent with any degree Of certain ty what
the dominating sentiment regarding
them will be. 1t is reasonably expected,
however, that there will be less hostil-
ity manifested toward the banks than in
the last congress. several of the most
vigorous opponents of these institutions
will not be in the next congress, and
with, perhaps, an exception of two,
their places will be filled by republi-
cans who are believed not to be opposed
to maintaining the national banking
system. Another hope that the sys-
tenn will receive fair considera
tion from the next congress is found in
the fact that the organization will be in
the hands of the republicans, and that
the committee on banking aud currency
will be composed of men better disposed
to consider what may be required to
perpetuate the national banking system
than were the majority of those who
constituted this committee In the last
congress. It is apprehended, however,
that the chances of getting any banking
legislation will depend largely upon
whether the majority in the Fifty-frst
congress can effect such changes in the
rules as will do away with the
power of an obstructive minority.
Unless this is done, not only
banking, but other equally important
legislation that will proceed from the
majority may fail. Meanwhile the
friends of the national banking system
will find encouragement in the knowl-
edge that it has the support of the ad-
ministration, and that ii it gets from
the next congress no legislation de-
signed to give the relief thought to be
just and necessary and to insure its
extension and continuance, there can
be none hostile to it.

Rafferty, Ousted.

Judge Shields gave decision In the Mel.
cher-Rafferty election contest case from
South Omaha, which Gusts Rafferty, from the
position as councilman of the Second ward.
He says that in the trial he found a mis-
count of the vote which, when corrected,
changed the result very materially.
1t was shown that the election
board first went over the ballots, counting
simply the heading, and in that way Rafferty,
had 200 votes, as against 191 for G. A.
Melcher. The result being close, Melcher
demanded recount, which was made and
this time it was found that he had received
1876 to Rafferty's 1913. A third count failed to
change the second. However, Rafferty,
claimed the election, and Melcher was com.
PEELED to bring the case into the court, with
the above result.

GOVERNOR HILL, OF New York, has
very properly declined to give up ''on
suspicion" the two Irishmen who are
charged upon unpublished evidence
with being connected with the Cronin
murder in Chicago. If there is evil
dence connecting them with the crime
it tshould be printed. First arrest your
suspect and then gather evidence is en-
tirely too British form of proceeding
to commend itself to American institu-
tions. Everyone who has read the de-
tials of the inquest over the remains of
DR.. Cronin earnestly hopes that his
murderers may be brought to justice.
No stronger expressions of this have
come from any class than from the
Irish leaders of the National League,
who are courting the fullest investiga-
tion of their alleged connection with
the crime. The record of the proceed-
ings OF the coroner's Jury are
insufficient as far as printed to
convict anyone, and the public owes it
to decency to withhold its judgment
until II basis is aifordei for an opinion.
