GOING A STEP roo FAR.

There is evidently a desire on the
part of some councilmen to make cap
ital out of the over-officiousness OF the
police force. An ordinance was intro
duced by Councilman Hascall prohibit
ing the arrest of any person excepting
drunkards found lying in the streets
before written complaint is duly made
and filed and warrant issued. This is
going too far, and would practically tie
law and order. If such an ordinance
were enacted, pickpockets, footpads
and burglars could not be arrested by
the police and held over night unless
they were captured while in the act of
housebreaking, robbery or garroting.
Professional criminals could roam about
the city at will, and Omaha would
soon be overrun by them. The
right to arrest suspicious characters is
exercised by the police in every city.
Such powers are necessarily conferred
upon poll cemen in large cities to pre-
vent depredations upon property and
assaults upon defenseless persons. The
trouble with the police of Omaha is that
they have too often over-stepped the
bounds of good judgment IN making
arrests, and the fault lies not with the
system but with the men at the head of
the police force. There is a we'll
gounded suspicion that certain police
officers use this authority to satisfy pri-
vate grievances against individuals or
for the purpose of extortion. These
charges should be carefully considered
by the proper authorities, and if such
officers or patrolmen are found guilty
they should be dismissed. There are
members on the force totally
unfit for police duty. They lack
common sense and judgment.
They do not know the difference
between an inoffensive citizen or
stranger who happens to be belated at
night, and thug or thief prowling
about in quest of prey. Such addle-
headed policemen should be weeded out
of the force.
The sweeping curtailmento of the pow
ers of the police, as contemplated in
Mr.. Hascall's ordinance, would only
tend to destroy the efficiency of the
polica force

THE KILLING OF TERRY.

The killing OF Judge David s. Terry,
of California, will appear to many as
retributive Justice. The character and
methods of the man invited such ter
mination of his career. His life was
stained with the blood Of his fellow
man. The pistol or the bowie knife he
had relied upon as means OF vindlca-
ton from early manhood. A lawyer OF
fine attainments and ability, who had
occupied high judicial position, his ma
ture was that of the desperate. When
he should have been the con-
servator of law he was hims elf
an outlaw. Even when q
Justice of the supreme court Of Califor-
mia, Terry in street brawl stabbed a
political enemy, and he had but just
laid aside the ermine when he deliber-
ately took the life Of David G. Broder-
ick, whom he had In the most cold
blooded way provoked into duel. His
killing of United States Senator Brod-
erick was no better than murder, for
not only was he dead shot and had
boasted that he would send a bullet
through his victims heart, but after he
knew that Broderick had fred into the
air, he, with devlish malignity, carried
his purpose into execution. 1t was
characteristic of the cold-blooded
relentless nature of the man, and it
justly covered him with an infamy
which he could never efface. Nor did
he seem to care to, for his subsequent
career is dotted with feuds ana diff
culties which snow that he was utterly
Indifferent to public opinion and was
content to follow wherever his reckless
impulses should lead. Last September,
while engaged in defending case in
court brought by the woman whom he
made his wife, and whose nature ap-
parently was in complete harmony with
his own, he was sent to prison by Justice
Field, of the supreme court OF the
United States, for contempt. Since tn {
expiration OF his term he threatened
Field, and the well-known desperate
character of the man rendered the
threat a matter not to be idly regarded
He appears TO have improved Tho first
opportunity to provoke an altercatior

THE Southwestern Mining association

THE Southwestern Mining association
takes very strong grounds against the
effort that is being made to secure re-
versal of the policy that has long pre-
vailed of allowing lead ores from Mex
leo to enter this country free, and the
fight over this subject is likely to be-
come more interesting. The associa-
tion say that if the policy is reversed it
will destroy the smelling industries Of
the southwest, injure and retard the
prosperity OF that section. and prove
damaging to the commercial re-
lations existing between Mexico
and the United States, in all
of which it must be confessed there is
some force. There should be no hasty
action in the matter, which is one that
evidently merits the careful investiga-
tion of congress. If our lead interests
can show that under present conditions
they are subjected, as they claim, to an
unfair and ruinous competition, they
should be given the relief they ask, but
their case ought to be very con nclusively
established before anything is done
that might result to the serious injury
of interests in the southwest and to the
detriment of our commercial relations
with Mexico. -.

DEMOCRATIC LEGACIES.

The incompetency and inefiiciency of
the last administration in nearly every
department of the public service have
frequently been pointed out. The
wretched management of the postal
service was a source of complaint from
every portion of the country, a complete
recovery from the decentralization hav-
ing not yet been accomplished. The
laundering in the interior department
was extensive and much of it trouble
some. The treasury department
only escaped like critl-
cism because compelled to fol-
low lines laid down by previous
administrations The follies OF the state
department are matter OF history
which a majority of the American peo-
pie would be glad to have eliminated.
The war department did nothing f0f
the advantage or improvement of that
branch of the public service. The navy
department earned some credit, but not
until it had leaned something from
laundering.
New evidences OF the administrative
weakness of the Cleveland regime come
to light almost daily. Two have just de-
veloped, one in the Office of the sixth au-
ditor for the postoffice department, the
other in the public printing office. In the
former the accounts are found to be
very much in arrears, and besides a
portion OF the papers were left in such
condition that great difficulty is being
found in handling them. This is one
of the offices in which economical re-
| form was said to have been carried to a
high state OF development. The result
Is that vast amount of extra work has
to be done by the present auditor, and
such is the confusion Of the legacy left
| to him that it is extremely doubtful
whether the government will ever be
able to accurately ascertain what is
| right aud what wrong in the accounts
remaining to be adjusted. AS to the
government printing office, there will
be no surprise at the discovery OF NAL

public service., The man who was the
head OF that Office was well known to be
wholly without, the qualifications to
manage it iudiciously, and besides he
was the meresti creature OF the demo-
cratic politicians. The institution
offers opportunities more favorable than
any other under the government for ex-
travagance and corrupt practices, and
the public printer under the last
administration was not the man
to successfully resist the tendencies in
these directions. The wisdom Of main
tanning this Office has been many times s
seriously questioned by those who be-
lieve the government could effect a
material saving by having its printing
done by private contract.
Whether or not anything remains to
be disclosed as evidence of the want Of
capacity and the shortcomings OF the
Cleveland administration, there has al
ready been sufficient to deprive 1T of
most Of the glamour with which dem
ocrats have sought TO surround 1T. The
simple truth is, it was composed
Of men either without the experience
in public affairs to render them good
officials, or so entirely directed by their
political ambition as to have no care for
anything that did not contribute to this.
| Almost every member of the admins
tration, the president included, was
| playing for a stake in the future, and
| politics, rather than the duties of gov
| ernment, was the source of their con-
| tinual interest and solicitude. Under
such circumstances an incompetent and
| inefficient public service was newt
