INEyCUSABLE IGNORANCE.

Somebody wants to know what IS the pop
ulation of Omaha. 1t is a pushing town OF
sixty-five thousand people. Its school census
shows twenty thousand two hundred and
forty-three children of school age. In 1880,
with a population of sixteen thousand IL had
six thousand four hundred and sixty. eight
children of school age. The school census is
now a little more than three times what 1t
was then and this would indicate a total pop
ulation of about sixty-two thousand.-Ml-
tcduEec Sentinel.
We now understand why Milwaukee
papers are not patroniZed in Milwau-
kee. When a paper which ranks as
the leading daily Of that city exhibits
such objectionable ignorance it shows
that the standard of journalism Is not
very high in the cream city. Omaha
had a population Of yer thirty thou
sand ten years ago and stands so credited
by the national census of 1880. The state
census of 1885 credits Omaha with a pop
ulatlon of over sixtv-two thousand,
and it is an indisputable fact that Omaha
has doubled her population in the
last five years. The basis on which the
Sentinel computes the population of
Omaha at sixty-five thousand rests upon
the fiction that the six thousand four
hundred and ~sixty-eight children Of
school age in 1880 only represented six
teen thousand population, whereas they
did represent nearly double that num-
Der. At the same rate the school CEN
sus of 1889 would more than treble the
population of 1880, which would give
Omaha a population of about one hun
| dred and twenty-five thousand. THE
BEE in its Annual Review issued jan
nary l only claims one hundred and
twenty thousand, which is a very mod
crate estimate.
Omaha daily bee., 1890-01-09

clear that the commission, while admit
ting that the competition Of Canadian
roads ben eits n large number OF our peo-
pie, is not heartily in sympathy with the
demand that IL shall be allowed TO con
tinue under present conditions and
without any regulation or restriction.
The recommendations OF the commits
tee embrace four new provisions and
the same number OF amendment IS. 1t
proposes prohibiting the payment Of
commissions by one railroad company
to ticket agents of another company for
passenger transportation, the abolition
Of ticket brokerage and the extension of
the law to common carriers by water
routes. With regard to the first two
new provisions proposed, the inyestiga-
tons OF the commission have clearly
demonstrated their necessity. The
commission and brokerage methods
now in practice are who'll" ~indefensible,
and it Is In the interest of both the
railroads and the public that the law
shall prohibit them. The expedienc y
Of embracing in the operation OF the
interstate IN act common car
riers by water has been fully demon
stratcd. Undoubtedly congress will not
hesitate to comply with the recommen-
dations of the commission both as to the
new provisions and the amendments,
all of which are obviously necessary to
a more thorough application and eff
cient enforcement of the law. The re-
port will make a favorable impression
regarding the operation of the law
during the last year, and the few
changes and additions suggested by the
committee show that experience is
demonstrating the general wisdom and
sufliciency of this legislation.

roo MUCH sPITE WORK.

Now that Mr.. Broatch has retired, it
is to be hoped that the police commits
sion will feel absolved from further OBJ
legation to punish and prosecute people
who had offended him. While we have
refrained from comment on the con-
struction which the commission has re-
Gently put upon the law regulating the
liquor traffic, the course they have
pursued we can by no means commend.
There has been a manifest at
tempt to befriend liquor dealers who
were political supporters of the late
mayor, and a determination to
annoy and prosecute dealers who
refused to train with him.
The commission has no right to make
flesh of one and fish of another. Their
functions are not only executive but
judicial. In the exercise of these pow
ers they are expected to be impartial.
Some of the most notorious violators of
the Slocum law have been licensed,
while others who had been blacklisted
IN the recent municipal campaign have
been held over the gridiron.
Such an abuse Of the powers of the
commission was never contemplated by
those who favored the change in the
laws that revised the membership of the
licensing board.

Masonic saloonkeepers,

Investigation into the rumored expulsion
Of saloonkeepers from a Masonic lodge in
this city, reported in yesterdays BEE,
proves the truth of the published statement.
The only error was that the action was based
on a recent action Of the grand lodge of this
state. The resolution was adopted by the
grand lodge tn 1872 and has since been incor-
porated into the bylaws of the order. A
prominent Mason of this city said to THE
BEE correspondent that the rule had been
pretty strictly enforced all over the state,
but that there were a number Of cases where
charges had not been filed. Another rule
adopted subsequently makes 1T the duty OF
masters and wardens of subordinate lodges
to prefer charges and of the grand master.
IN the exercise Of a wise discretion, TO sus-
pend the charters OF lodges that either neg.
lect OF refuse to prefer charges against
offending members.

THE opposition OF eastern congress

THE opposition of eastern congress
men to any attempt to reclaim the arid
wastes OF the west was to be expected.
The growing strength of the western
half of the nation the power
heretofore welded by the older states,
and their opposition to every measure
calculated to increase the productive
wealth OF the trans Missouri empire
must be met and overcome. The center
of population as we'll as of industry,
products and political power is NOV
ing westward at such a pace that before
the close of the century the pampered
east will be IN the minority. The de-
termination to antagonize western in
terests is n foolhardy attempt to block
the wheels of progress.

INTERSTATE COMMISSION: REPORT


INTERSTATE COMMISSION! REPORT.
The report Of the interstate COM
MERGE commission shows that the Oper-
alton of the law during lastyear did not
work any hardship to the railroads,
so far as can be determined from the re-
turns of their business. There was q con-
siderable increase in railroad earnings,
every month OF the year showing an ad-
vance over the corresponding month of
the previous year. In view OF this re-
suit, which was general except as to
some coal roads, the commission sees no
treason to believe that the effect of the
law has been injurious to railroad earn
ings. The most interesting chapter of
the report is devoted to the competition
Of Canadian carriers, which the COM
mission says is not casual or temporary,
but permanent. 1t was deliberately
planned In the past, and has been ad-
vanced to its present state with perse-
vering energy. The agencies of this
competition have been assisted by the
policy of Il government in allow
ing the transportation Of American
goods in bond over Canadian
lines OF railroad upon an equality with
that over our own lines, by the invest
ments of our citizens in the con-
structiOn OF Canadian roads aud lines
to connect with them, and by cOnces-
sions of rights Of way over our soil. The
commission makes no recommendation
regarding the treatment OF this compe-
titiOn, leaving that to the wisdom Of
congress, and simply presents a compre
hensive statement of the situation,
suggesting that there are considera-
tions on both sides of the question. 1t
is quite possible to infer, however, that
the commission thinks there should be
some regulation OF this competition,
and that this may be done without in
jury to those interests OF our own peo-
Pile which the competition is assumed
TO especially benefit, while operating
to the advantage OF American railroads.
For example, referring to the appre-
hension that any regulation which
would restrict this competition would
result in higher rates OF trans
portation, the commission says: ut
is possible, however, that these appre-
tensions are mistaken and that a
greater volume Of business over our own
lines would SO cheaper rates as TO re-
suit in no advance in cost 10 ultimate
consumers. AT least that has been the
uniform lesson of experience in rail-
road transportation" 1t seems pretty

Lubhook's wonderful, Experiments

So =
Sir John Lubbock has been making
some remarkable calculations on the
Tapping of the wings of insects. He
finds that the slow Tapping of the but
terfy's wing produces no sound, but
when the movements are rapid a noise
is produced which increases in shrill-
ness with the number of vibrations.
Thus the common house fly which pro-
duces the sound +, vibrates it's wings
81 40 times in n minute, or 335 times in
a second. The bee, which makes the
sound A, makes as many as 26, 400
strokes with its wings every minute, or
44O every second. A very tired bee,
says Sir John, huns In L, making about
$50 strokes per second. Marcy, the ma
turalist, has confirmed Lubbock's ex-
periments in a way altogether novel
and original. After many attempts
and successive failures he obtained u
very delicate piece of mechanism with
which to make his test. He fixed a fly
so that the tip Of his wing would just
barely touch a parafine cylinder moved
by clock-work. Each stroke of the
wing caused a mark, very slight, OF
course. but still %perceptible. Upon be-
ing removed and examined with a glass,
the cylinder showed almost exactly 44O
strokes per second for a fresh bee and
$50 for the tired one.
