THE disgraceful scramble for few
petty Offices throws an arc light on the
calibre OF the men controlling city
affairs. The people who pay the bills
are not concerned about the political
complexion of subordinates SO long as
they are competent to perform their
duties. But they have right to expect
decent regard for the public interests.

bug department. by all means include
the phagocyte OF all the bugs that
buzz around the state treasury and
whistle for the old flag and an appro.
priation the phagocyte is the most i'm
portant. He is not visible to the naked
eye, yet exist in millions where he does
the most good. The human family
is his particular delight Even legis-
lators and lobbyists are more or
less within his province of usefulness.
To science the world is indebted for the
agreeable news that the average man,
properly stocked with phagocytes, may
snap his fingers at bacteria. The pha-
gocyte fattens on this and like germs
that swell the procession to the grave
yard. But his digestive capacity is linn
tied, and every true patriot, anxious for
the welfare of the race, should aid in
the development of the human bug.
Let us educate the phagocyte at any
cost OF blood and treasure.

WESTERN railroads having traffic ar
rangements with the eastern trunk lines
will be affected by decision just made
by the Interstate commerce commission
which says that merchandise shipped
from abroad into this country shall not
be hauled by the railroads from the
port of entry to the place of final deliv-
cry at lower rate than the regular
charge upon internal traffic between
such points, In other words, that there
shall not be discrimination against the
domestic shipper in favor of the forei gn
shipper as is now the case. Hitherto
the railroad and steamship companies
have combined to make through rate
from Liverpool or other European port
to any point in the United States
less than the sum of the ocean and in
land rates, thereby giving an advantage
to the foreign shipper. This arrange
ment the Interstate commerce commits
sion declares to be in violation of the
law and must be abandoned. The rul-
ing is manifestly just No sound reason
can be given why foreign shipper of
merchandise should have any advantage
in rates on our railroads over local
shippers, Hereafter European shippers
must look TO the steamship companies
for any advantages in transportation
rates, and it remains to be seen what
effect, II any, the new regulation will
have upon the business to which 1T re-
lates. lts fairness, however, cannot be

The joint resolution asking congress
to foreclose the mortgage on the Pacific
railroads is timely and sh ould be adopted
We never can and never will have rea-
sOnable rates on the overland railroads
until the water is wruug out of them
and the only way to wiring the water out
effectively is by compelling the sale of
the roads to the best bidder SO long as
the Union and Central Paci fic
roads, which are stocked and
bonded for about S125,OOO mile
are operated with view of paying in
terest on the bonds and dividends on the
stocks they must keep up exorbtant
exactions and cut-throat rates. When
the roads are brought down to bed
rock basis and operated to earn an in
come on what they are actually worth
which means what they could be dupli-
Gated for-they will be content with
half the present tolls.
1t is right and proper that the Ne
braslla Legislature shall speak out on
this subject in language that cannot
be misunderstood so that her
representatives in congress may know
just what is expected of them when the
question of extending the mortgage
comes up in the national legislature
All the talk about such resolutions
being premature, because the mortgage
is not yet due, is a mere quibble. They
should and would have been passed
years ago and at every successive session
of the legislature, had the railroad lobby
kept its hands off.

Official announcement is made that owing to

frost has caused renewal of the distress. The

many places speculators get exorbitant prices.
The corn merchants and the village kooaks
and the usurers are charged with responsibility
for the extortion. Samara paper declares that
the Jews are angels compared with the koolaks,
who are in the habit of reducing those
in their power to the lowest stage
of poverty Incidents showing the terrible dis
tress OF the people continne to be recorded. A
poor woman of Ratchino, in returning from a
neighboring village, whittier she had gone to
try to purchase food, fonnd all her children

ton of Reasan has died of hunger or disease.

Continuing, he said:
The vast number of arrivals. Il is believed. is

hundreds by every steamer from Hong

escape across the boundary line % the United
States, a considerable number remain in the

present the o. 'Brien petition to Governor Ferry,
returned tonight. The mission was disappont-
ing. The governor said he could not ask O'Brien
to resign any more than he could ask the state
treasurer OF secretary of state to resign. He
seemed sorry at the dissatisfaction of
the First regiment, bu. taeitly con-
veyed a refusal to comply with the
petition. The governor said he had not ordered
Colonel Haines under arrest, and if OBrien had
done so he would have the order revoked. He
ordered the change of command pending the
court-martial. Howell also met O'Brieu, who
said the militia serving at the King county
mines should demand of the county commits
sioners pay as a sherIff's posse at So per day.

Social Purity Reformers ASSISTING the
Emperor to Put Down German De-
bauchery-Twenty Million Russians

BERLIN, Oct. Associated Press,
Copyrighted, 1891. THE reichstag will
reassemble Tuesday, November 10. 1t can
be predicted that the leading feature of
the speech from the throne will be con-
gratulations upon the formation of COM
mercial union between Germany, Austria
and Italy. 1t is also expected that his
majesty will refer hopefully to the out
come of the pending negotiations with
other countries looking to the widening of
Germany's commercial relations.
1t is now definitely determined that
Prince Bismarck will again make his ap-
pearance in parliament. He has been in
communication with the leaders of the
Conservatives and of the Reichs party in
regard to concerted action against both
the internal and external policy of the
government. Bismarck's attitude toward
commercial treaties and upon the labor
question has long been known, and his
announced opposition to the governments
policy in these matters occasions ne sur
prise. The indication of his intention to
challenge the governments foreign policy
and even go to the length Of revealing
secrets between himself and the emperor,
has alarmed both his friends and the gov
ernment circle. The HAMBURGER Mach
richtea (Bismarck's organ) declares that
the prince is entering upon parliament
ary conflict between himself and the en-
peror.
A pamphlet written by Lothair Bucher,
undoubtedly under the direction of Bis
marck, has made its appearance. 1t
abounds in complaints and threats against
the emperor as altering Germany's for
eign policy, to the peril of the existence of
the empire. What tends to excite alarm
in ministerial circles regarding the princes
scheming is knowledge of the fact that the
ex-chancellor has the backing of plenipo-
tentiaries of Bavaria and Wurtemburg
and the partial support of Saxony in the
bundesrath. Chancellor Won Caprivi is
conscious of the latent or open sympathy
of the federal governments with the ex-
chancellor, and has difficult part to play.
Every one expects that some painful and
exciting scenes will be occasioned through
the attitude of the prince during the
course of the session.
