Boerhaavc, the famous physician,
declared that a man was more likely
TO get well by climbing tree than by
drinking a dccoction made Of its
leaves; that is, he thought exercise
better than medicine. II Is on this
principle that the queen Of Sweden,
whose nervous condition has given
rise to much anxiety, is being treated.
She Is ordered TO make her bed and
sweep her room, besides taking large
amount Of walking exercise. This
method-the "housernaid treatment" ("

NOTHING TO ARBITRATE.

We publish in another column the
letter of Messrs. George w. Vroman
and Jackson Hover, representing re-
spectively the grievance committees of
locomotive engineers and firemen now
in session in this city. These gentle
men claim that they are not opposed to
arbitration; that the difference be-
tween the respective organizations and
the Union Pacific is whether the COM
pany will continue to pay the engineers
and fremen in accordance with an
agreement heretofore made.
The main question Is whether the
company can detach branch of the
system and pay lower wages than is
paid to men working on the main line.
The company insists that the RESPONSE
bilities OF engineers and 1iremen on
branch lines are comparatively triiling.
Trains are fewer and generally light,
and the labor and danger are far less
than on the main lines, whore traffic is
great and trains heavy. On the othor
hand, the operatives claim that il they
permit u reduction of wages on one
branch, it violates the agreement made
between the company and the men, and
establishes precedent by which the
company can exact similar concessions
on all branch lines.
THE BEE cannot be accused of special
friendliuess toward the Union Paci fic
company. In the twenty odd years oi
its existence the company has done lit
| tie to entitle ii to common dation. We
feel, however, that the engineers and
firemen cannot afford to ignore the de-
sire of the company for arbitration. II

Chief Sargent, of the tiremen's brother
hood, are in Boston, and both gentlemen
have consulted President Adams. 1t was
reported last night that Chairman Hover
and Chairman Vroman, of the grievance COM
mittees of the brotherhood of firemen and
that of the engineers, respectively, had been
summoned to Boston by telegram by Arthur
and Sergeant. When questioned concerning
this they declined TO answer. 1t was learned,
however, that transportation had been
granted Meosrs. Vroman Walton, Hover and
Fonda, all members of the grievance com
mttee, from Omaha to Boston. Later, the
individuals named admitted that they were

THE No AlpD on EoUALIzATTON.


The county assessment roll for 1889
perpetuateslthe inequalities of former
years, but in more glaring and unjust
manner. Isltis notorious fact that in
several wards assessors were elected
last falf pledged to reduce the
valuation of property, and the
returns SHOW that they have
faithfully carried out their bar
gains. In the First, Third, Fifth and
Sixth wards there is significant de-
crease in the total valuation, fact
which indicates that the assessors were
not in the business for their health. In
these wards there has been consider
able Improvement during the past year,
and while property values have not ma
terially advanced, there is no justifica-
tion for reduction. In other wards,
particularly the Second, the valuation
of property has been increased, even
where no improvement has been made.
This is rank injustice, which the
board of equalization Is in duty bound
to remedy. While the recent decisions
of the courts practically tie its hands
in individual cases, the board has the
power, without complaint, "to ascertain
whether the valuations in one town
ship, precinct or district bear a just
relation to all the townships, precincts
or districts in the county, and
may increase or diminish the
aggregate valuation Of prop
ertv in any township, precinct
or district, by adding or deducting such
sum upon the hundred as may be neces-
sary to produce a just relation between
all the valuations of property in the
county," The law is directive, not OPP
tional. Tho board cannot plead ignor-'
ance of the facts. 1t is well aware that
there has been no decrease in property
valuations in tho wards referred to, and
it is its duty to set aside the friendly
work of these assessors and make all
property bear q just and reasonable
snare of the public burdens. That the
whole revenue law is an incentive to
fraud is beyond question, but the board
of equalization possesses the authority
to remedy the tlagrant wrongs and
favoritism displayed in the assessment

1t would seemthat the conservative lead
ers of England had awakened to the fact
that the majority bf the English people have
become opposeh to the former policy of
suppression andEceorcion of the Irish. Con-
sidering the obsnnacy with which this
policy has been persisted in, year after year,
and the vigor with which Secretary I3alfour
has executed and enforced the provisions of
the crimes act, itis remarkable to find this
conservative Of conservatives announcing in
recent speech that the tory government
will soon undertake three great Irish meas
ures. The Ashbourne act will be broadened
IN scope, over S. 900, 900 will be appropriated
for land improvements, and plau for Irish
local self government will be offered for
their approval The Ashbourne act is
measure which was brought forward under
the pressure of modern home rule agitation,
and was intended as "a sop 10 Cerberus."
Its object is to secure to the Irish lease
holders and tenants a means of buying their
holdings from the land owners and land
lords. There is as much political economy
in the scheme as there is household economy
in the idea Of buying on the ''installment
plan," and little more. The Ashbourne act
really favors the landlord class OF Ireland
as much as. if not more than, the tenants
and small farmers. Although 1t may re-

THEY ARE 1IVAK Il.

Referring to the report that the dem
ocrats of Montana propose to gerry
mander the legislative districts so as to
secure the legislature and the two
United States senators, the Helena
Herald says it is we'll understood that
the attempts will be made, but the re-
pubiicaus of Montana are awake and
ready for the fight in whatever shape
it may come. The Herald says if it is
thought the republicans of Montana
will allow such scheme to succeed
without the biggest fight North
America has ever witnessed, those who
think 50 do not know the repub-
licans OF that territory. The
voters Of Montana" says the Herald,
''are fresh from tho experience of a
democratic administration and WANT no
more of it. They have been prosecuted
in every interest aud in every manner
that ingenuity could devise to prevent
the settlement OF our lands and the de-
velapment of our interests and indus
tries. The democrats have about as
heavy load of national issues us they
can carry, and if they attempt to take
on an offensive gerrymander there will
be repetition of the result of last No
vember." All this is in the right spirit.
and if the Herald voices tho sentiment
prevalent among Montana republicans,
as undoubtedly it does, the demo cratic
hope of controlling the new state is very
likely to be disappointed. The result
OF last November can be repeated if the
republicans OF Montana are vigilant, &C
tive and harmonious.

The Sessions of This Order Drawing
to a Close.
The supreme lodge, A. o. U. W., met yes
terday morning, and, as a committee of the
whole, again took up the matter of the Ohio
jurisdiction. After u short debate it was put
to vote, and 1t was decided to divide Ohio
into parts, Hamilton county to be a iurisdic-
tion by itself and the rest of the state to form
the other jurisdiction. This will relieve the
order in the larger jurisdiction, but will
make the assessments in Hamilton county,
in which Cincinnati is situated, very heavy,
but this is only natural outcome of the
action of the lodges in Hamilton in admitting
members VINO would be refused by any in
surance company.
The committee of the whole then adjourned
and the supreme lodge was called to order.
Several matters of minor Importance were
brought up for consideration.
rather amusing incident occurred about
10 a. IN. The outside watchman became in
terested in the proceedings inside, and a
party of the wives of the delegates carried
the outer works by storm, stole a march
upon the watchman and entered the lodge
room, where a secret session was in full
blast The members were taken greatly by
surprise and business was paralyzed for
few moments The officers soon rallied,
however, and the ladies were escorted to the
door and business resumed.
The afternoon session was devoted to
routine business and the lodge adjourned

WITHIN thirty DAYS the prohibitio

WITHIN thirty days the prohibition
amendment engraftcd upon tho consti
tuition of Rhole Island only only three
years ago will become inoperative.
This is the dcGr, c of the people OF that
state by q majority OF over eighteen
thousand, and all that is now required
to complete the abrogation OF the
amendment is the official counting of
the vote and PROCLAMATION of the result.
This result Is. exceedingly significant.
Three years ago the amendment pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale
of liquors was inserted in the
constitution J3'of Rhode Island by
Il majority of nearly six thousand.
In the briefnexperienco under It's oper-
alton the people of Rhode Island had
become satisfied that prohibition was u
failure and IL damage to the state, and
they have attestod thoir conviction by
casting a majority for tho repeal of the
amendment three times as large as was
given for it when it carried. No man
whose reason is not hopelessly be-
logged by prejudice can fail to UNDER
stand the obvious lesson OF this result
and to make its inevitable ana correct

good legal advice on the position we have
