WEDNESDAY. .... NOVEMBER 20, 1879

THE late Samuel j. Tilden was one
ofihe shrewdes lawyers in the conn-
try. He rarely failed on any techni-
cal point He could draw the papers
for railway company with unerrng
accuracy. II II was necessary to fore
close great railway mortgage he was
Just the man TO Go it. Very few law
ycrs IN the country had as large an in
come from heir professional services
~ Tider. He was always regardt d
by his professional brethren as one of
the most wary adversaries. He made
. Will leaving n large part of his great
fortune for public use. A hanisomc
provision was made for a free public
library In the city Of New York. His
relatives were disappointed TINT these
large bcqueste did not come 10 rhem
They attacked the will and especially
that c.ause making provision for n
public library. The Supreme Court
has recently decided that this clause
of the will is void for uncertainty. II

cuted, In the opinion of the Court
The case will go up to the Court of
Appeals, with strong prospect that
the decision of the Court below will
be affirmed This is not the only in
stance where shrewd and learned
lawyer has failed in making a testament
tary disposition of his own estate that
could not be impeached ON technical
grounds ia court of law. Had Til
den been employed to draw will for
some client involving the disposition
of millions, he probably would have
made an ironclad document. Every
clause would have been SO framed
that IT would have been beyond anv
successful attack. 1t is a singular ia, t
that professional men can usually do
business for clients and patrons IN a
more satisfactory manner than they
can do ii for themselves. A case in
point is that of the late Horace Hawos
Of California. This celebrated lawyer
could do business with. great salts
faction for his clients. and was a mas
ter of the arr of drafting statutes for
the protection Of the public But when
he undertook to draw his own will he
made a mess of it. TIE courts would
not Sustain II. and The educational in
stiiutions which he hoped to found as
his monument never goi beyond his
paper plan 1t is probable Tilden's
good intentions will be frustrated in
the same manner.

Omaha daily bee., 1889-04-01

THE subway investigation instituted
by the city council developed the oppo-
sition of the overhead wire company to
any movement tending to abate a nuis-
ance. They insist that no subway sys-
tenn has yet been perfected, and that all
conduits in use are in an experimental
stage. 1t is not material to the people
of Omaha which system has been the
most successful. 1t is sufficient to know
that in all large cities the wires have
been placed under ground and success
fully operated. In the business center
of Chicago there is not wire to be seen
and the forests of poles have disap-
peared from the streets. A similar
change for the better cannot be long de-
layed in Omaha, but the authorities
must guard the interests of the city
and prevent a monopoly by refusing
an exclusive franchise to any company.
Give every system a chance to demon
strate its advantages, under proper
.restrictions, and give the wire COM
panies the right to choose the best.

a PLEA FOR SALARIES.

An article will appear in the April
number OF the North American, Reuie,p
from the pen of Senator Chace advo-
eating an increase OF the salaries of
members of congress and other federal
officials. From extracts published Mr..
Chace proves that there is great deal
to be said on his side of the question.
1t will be remembered that he resigned
his seat in the senate for the principal
reason that the compensation was in
sufficient to enable him to live in Wash
ington as he thinks senator should
live, and in addition to meet the extra
ordinary social demands upon him. He
is man Of wealth, cut he did not care
to longer draw upon his private re-
sources, particularly when in order to
properly perform his public duties he
was compelled to neglect his personal
affairs. Therefore he decided to retire
from position in which ne had made a
creditable record.
Mr.. Chace argues that the country is
rich and prosperous, and that the
people are not only willing to see,
but that thew take pride in seeing,
the men who represent them en-
abled to live in a manner befitting the
important position which they occupy
before the world. He presents q list of
salaries paid to numerous officials of the
government from president to district
| judges, all OF which are in excess OF the
compensation of congressman, and he
insists that there is injustice in this
u,l, M nf lnh al,
acter OF the services, and the dignity of
| the congressional office are considered.
| He asserts that congressman are sub
| jected to severer demand upon their
energies than any other class of public
officials. "lt Is within reasonable bounds
to say that most congressman spend
fourteen out of twenty-four hours in
active mental occupation, oftentimes Of
the most exacting character" Year
after year, says Mr.. Chace, and every
year, we see men in either house, of
strong physique and tough mental
fibre, break down from excessive over
work.
| 1t is Of course not sufficient answer
to arguments In favor of paying con-
| gressmen just compensation TO say
there is always an abundant supply of
capable men willing to go to congress
at the present salary, as has been shown
in the case OF the vacancy made
by the resignation of Mr.. Chace. Rhode
Island will have no difficulty in finding
man who will repeat his experience at
the national capital. But the fact that
this is the case with every
probability Of always being 80,
does have very great in
iuence with the masses OF the people to
whom an annual salary of five thousand
dollars seems a very generous sum.
With such, comparisons OF salaries paid
by private corporations will have very
little weight, because the general popu-
lar Judgment is that such salaries, as in
the case of railroad officials, for exam
pie, are far too large. Besides, these
are in most cases regulated by ciroum-
stances which do not fairly allow OF
their being brought into comparison.
From what Mr.. Chace says Of the senti-
ment existing among congressman this
Omaha daily bee., 1889-04-01

THE advance of rates for the ship
ment OF grain from Chicago to the sea-
board by the eastern railroads few
weeks ago has evidently not had the
effect which railroad magnates antici-
pated. The opening up of navigation
on the great lakes took place much ear
iier this season, and in consequence the
bulk OF the carrying trade is going by
the water route. There is therefore a
hurrying and skurrying in railroad cir
cles to squeeze down the existing
freight schedule to a margin as low as
the lake rates. The water competition
promises to be unusually active this
year. The tonnage has been consider
ably increased and transportation facili-
ties have been improved. Last year
over one hundred thousand tons Of
freight were moved by water, and the
railroads read with alarm the prospects
which will increase these shipments
fully fifty per cent.

GOVERNOR THAYER vetoed bill 1875,
which originated In the house, to
amend section 20 of chapter Z of the
compiled statutes Of Nebraska Of 1887,
relating to assistant county attorneys.
The bill provided for the appointment
of such assistant attorneys and required
them to give bonds, but declared that
they should receive no compensation
from the county Except in counties
with fifty thousand and upwards of in
habitants." The governor gave as q
reason for withholding his signature
that "the state has no right to ask for
the service Of any one without paying q
reasonable compensation"

THE IEaIsIATnRE.

The Nebraska legislature made rec
ord conspicuous for two reasons: The
number OF good local and general laws
added TO the statute books, and the al
most entire absence OF vicious legisla-
ton. From the beginning to the close
the legislature was harassed by COM
bination of boodlers determined TO do
as little as possible, except for price.
Half the members become active claim
agents, and struggled to press their per-
sonal schemes 10 the front at the ex-
pense OF general legislation, while the
other half were kept busy fighting the
cormorants. The latter triumphed, and
the taxpayers have good reason to con-
gratulate themselves on the signal de-
feat OF scandalous claims and eXorbi-
tant appropriations.
Like all preceding legislatures, the
Twenty-frst was beset by horde OF
hungry lobbyists and desperate trick
sters. They were actively assisted by
the chairmen of important commit ees,
and their schemes OF plunder we're
given prominence which threatened
tor a. time to make them successful.
With the active aid of the combine on
the floor Of the house, general legis-
lation was delayed as u means OF coerc-
ing honest members into supporting
wholesale raids on the treasury. The
| ipfamy Of this conspiracy forced a union
| Of the opposition, which pulled the
| pillars from under the rotten structures.
State officers and managers of the vari-
Gus state institutions plunged into the
lobby and joined in the carnival of
corruption. Enormous sums were asked
for additions and expenses, and inflated
salaries and increased help were de-
manded on all sides. They became a
| public scandal and threatened the state
with bankruptcy. But the arrogance OF
the combine, coupled with shameless at
tempts at bribery, proved fatal to their
schemes The defeat of Buffers in
famous claim, followed sharply by the
rout OF Stout, Kennard, Hathaway
Babcocll andi the saline land syndicate
deprived them of shoals of plunder and
crushed their ambition. This splendid
work was capped at the close by the SEN
ate combination, which still further
| cut down extravaganza appropriations
and destroyed the last hope of the bood
lers.
The demands Of the produ GERS for re
lief from railroad exactions were totally
ignored. 1t was impossible to secure
even respectful consideration IN the
senate, 1t was the graveyard of every
measure affecting the corporations
The absurd claim that regulation woult
retard railroad building and delay the
development Of the western section o
the state was successfully worked by thu
lawyers and po litical farmers, and ;
majority of the senate united in defeat
ing every bill which directly or re
motely touched their interests.
Taken as a whole the record of tn,
legislature is above the average. TIL
people have reason to be thankful tina
it was not worse. From submission a
the outset to the robbers raid at the
close, the efforts of organized schemer
and conspirators were directed at the
welfare of the state. The first evil sue
ceeded, the last failed. The treasury
is safe, and the burdens of the taxpay
ers have not been increased.
