Those Good Old Days.
Beqtrice Democrat.


An exchange advertises to receive wood on
subscription. This reminds us of the good
old days of pioneer journalism IN the wild
woody west when we used to take truck of
any kind on account; when we drank coffee
made of parched barley, sweetened with
sorghum. The writer remembers that dur
ing one of those years, when the grasshopper
ate up all our crops and the farmers had to
sow turnips as q last resort that Richard
son county farmer called, and said he
would have to stop his paper, as he had no
hopes of being able to pay for it. The cd
itor was loath to lose good subscriber who
always swore by his paper and voted the
ticket straight, so he insisted upon sending
the paper and agreed to take his pay IN tur-
nips. Later in the fall the farmer called at
the Office, saying he had brought the turnips.
He was directed to the home of the editor.
where he unloaded a wagon load of the
fruit, as it sold for 50 a load that fall The
following spring we gave another subscriber
credit for years subscription for carrying
out the turnips. This paid two subscriptions
and kept the wheels of the machine in run
nlng order. But. during the grasshopper
year, turnips were legal tender, and the
man who refused them was considered dis
loyal.

THE PARK COMMISSION.

The park commissioners appointed by
the district judges are conceded on all
hands to be men of character and re-
sponsibility. The members of the COM
mission are largely interested in the
growth and permanent prosperity of
this city. A majority of the commission
have travelled extensively in this coun-
try and abroad, and have seen what has
been done in the great cities of the
world in the way of parks and boulevards.
They ought to have we'll defined
views with regard to the effects of parks
upon the health of population CEN
ters, and the advantages derived from
surrounding a city with broad avenues
and well-kept parks.
1t now devolves upon the commission
TO improvise a well-digested, carefully
prepared system OF parks and boule-
wards for Omaha. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that this will be done in day,
nor is it possible for the commission to
make any very large addition
to our existing parks during this
season. But it is not expecting too
much to anticipate an earnest and en-
ergetic effort to formulate and lay out
the work that is projected. If any
doubt is entertained as to the extent to
which Omaha is willing to go in the
establishment of parks and boulevards,
they can through an informal meeting
readily ascertain the views of our
heaviest taxpayers.

THE CITY HALL PLANS.

The city hall plans recommended by
the committee on public property and
buildings, have been adopted by the
council by an almost unanimous vote.
The concurrence of the council IN the
judgment of the committee is crafty
ng evidence that no more delays and
dilatory tactics will be countenanced in
prosecuting this work There may be,
as was to have been expected, wide
divergence as to the merits OF the re-
spective plans, but it is conceded
that in arriving at its conclusion
and in giving preference to the "Gate
City" plans the committee has exercised
its own best judgment, regardless of all
pressure from without and within.
The adoption of the new city hall
plans removes one of the most serious
obstacles SO far encountered in car
rying the project to completion.
If the council viii now promptly adver-
tise for bids and let the contract to a
responsible and thoroughly reliable
builder without wrangling, there should
be no difficulty in having the building
ready for occupancy by the end of next
year. At any rate, work should be
begun on the reconstruction of the base
ment within sixty days.

SOME OF THE RESULTS.

1t will be interesting to note some of
the results of the comprehensive inquiry
by the senate committee in New York
as to the operation of the interstate
commerce act. The committee obtained
opinions from some OF the ablest an ID
most experienced railroad men in the
country, and also from representative
business men. All Of those summoned
before the committee were allowed the
largest latitude in the expression of
their views. and tho questions asked by
members OF the committee left no
ground uncovered. 1t was the most
thorough inaniry respecting the work.
ing OF the law since il went into effect,
and tho views expressed, which are
likely to have an influence in determin-
ing the question OF changes in the law,
are instructive and of general Interest.
While there were differences OF opin-
ion regarding certain features OF the
law, notably the anti-pooiing provision,
the general expression WAS that the
principle OF tho law should be main
tained and enforced. Certain modifica-
tious and amendments were urged, and
with regard 10 the long aud short
Omaha daily bee., 1889-05-16

haul clause the opinion was ueasly
uniform that it is Objectionable, but
no one suggested that the law
as whole should be abandoned. This
must be accepted as rather decisive
victory for the principle embodied in
the interstate commerce act, in view
OF the attitude Of the railroads toward
it during the first year OF its existence.
Unquestionably railroad presidents
would not have been found year ago
unit In support of this legislation, and
the fact that they are so now augurs ia
vorably for their future compliance
with it, which is the one thing neces-
sary to such n thorough practical test
as will demonstrate the faults and de-
fects of the law and enable congress to
intelligently change and improve 1t. 1t
was impossible to ascertain in what re-
spects the law should be changed, with
reference to the rights Of the public
ana the equitable interests OF the rail-
roads, so long as railroad managers
made war on the law or evaded it's re-
quirements. If they will now obey it,
the maintenance of the principle it en-
bodies being assured, there will be lit
tie difficulty in arriving at what is
necessary to improve the law ana rem
der its operation more satisfactory to all
interests.
We have heretofore noted that
nearly all the railroad presidents
who appeared before the commit
toe expressed their opposition to the
anti-pooling clause of the interstate act
and in favor OF legalized pooling, but
there was valuable opinion to the con-
trary and this question seems as much
in dispute as ever. Regarding the long
and short haul clause, which is a very
vital part of the act, the general opin-
ion was that if rigidly enforced it must
prove harmful. The principal direc-
tions in which it was thought to be cer
tain to do injury are in interfering with
exports for competition in foreign mar
kets and in transferring traffic from
American to Canadian railroads. There
were other objections, but these were
the most important, and it is not i'm
probable that they will receive atten-
tion from congress. Certainly if it can
be demonstrated that the operation Of
this clause has the effect Of chec king
exports, and also Of placing American
railroads ut q serious disadvantage in
competition with those of Canada, some
modification of it will be necessary.
The objections made to certain fea-
lures OF the law, and the opinion Of a
few who were heard by the committee
that it is an unmixed evil,
has given an opportunity to those
critics who have always opposed
this legislation to again assail
| it as mischievous and dangerous. This
sort of criticism is as idle as it is un
| warranted. The law is not perfect. No
human wisdom could have framed
| perfect law for such purpose. But its
operation has shown that the principle
is right, and had the law been honestly
| complied with and uniformly enforced
there might be no grounds for some Of
| the objections now urged against it,
On the whole the experiment has been
| SO largely successful as to fully justify
public sentiment in favor of maintain
ing the law and improving it as expert
ence shall suggest

GOVERNOR COOPER, of Colorado, has

GOVERNOR COOPER, of Colorado, has
a most ambitious scheme in mind. He
wants the governors of western states
to aid him in calling "western con-
gress" at Denver, which shall discuss
what efforts must be made to secure
government aid in building reservoirs
for irrigating purposes west of the Mis-
souri,. The project sounds very much
like the Texas deep harbor scheme, in
which the government is to pay out
millions in the construction of a deep
water harbor on the coast of Texas.
The reservoir plan is evon more stu
pendous. 1t contemDlates reclaimi n g
the arid regions from the headwaters
OF the Missouri to the Mexican gulf. 1t
is true congress appropriated some two
hundred and fifty-thousand dollars to
carry out the preliminary work of this
grand conception, but it is question,
nevertheless, whether the national gov
ernment would embark in venture
that might involve greater outlay
that De Lesseps Panama canal, and may
in the end prove just as impracticable.

THE DAK0TA IN ECTIONS.

1t is lamentable fact that the labor
ing classes OF the two DalSotas, the farm
ers and artisans, do not take a lively in
tercst in the work incidental to state
hood.
Returns from the election held yester-
day in the territory to select delegates
to the two constitutional conventions to
he held July 4th, indicate that the total
vote in South Dakota will not exceed
fifty thousand, which is less than one
half as many votes as were cast upon
the same proposition in 1885, notwith-
Omaha daily bee., 1889-05-16

standing the Increased population. II
is true that the weather was bad, rain
falling during the entire day, but this
in itself was insufficient to have so ma
terially reduced the vote. In Beadle
county, the cradle in which the state
hood movement has been nurtured, and
one of the most populous counties in
South Dakota, less than two thousand
ballots were cast This undesirable
result OF the election can be, with
reason, ascribed alone to the indiffer-
ence OF the farmers and mechanics, who g.,
1t would appear, are satisfied to let the
politicians run the machine to suit
themselves. The cause Of this is appar-
ent. After nearly four years OF politi-
cal chickering's over the statehood move
ment, the honest mechanic and his
country cousins, the farmers, have be-
came disgusted with the methods and
the leaders. Their patience has been
sorely tried, and now that statehood is
laid at their feet, they will have none
OF it,
This condition of affairs is to be de-
plored. The voters of these classes are
in the majority, and by the judicial use
of their power they could easily thwart
any projects of political schemers that
might revert to the injury of the new
states, and unless they do bring into
operation this power, they may have
everlasting cause for regretting that
they did not do so.
Tho farmers and artisans OF the Da-
kotas should awake and interest them
selves in the work preliminary to the
admission of the territory into the union
