4 DISSENT.

In the west, where we are familiar
with tho schemes of railway corpora
tions for building their own towns and
ignoring the rights Of those already es-
tablished, there will be general regrets AT
the decision Of the supreme court In the
case Of Yakima CITY vs. the Northern
Pacific railway. The incident which
gave rise to this famous suit, famous
because OF the strong dissent OF Il
minority OF the court to the opinion OF
the majority, is one which has Mt least
a dozen parallels in Nebraska alone.
The Northern Pacific Railroad company,
extending its line to Puget sound, re-
fused to locate a depot at Yakima City,
"A fourishing village started before tho
railroad route had been surveyed, but,
running its trains through the town,
established North Yakima four miles
distant upon land owned by officers of
the company. The purpose of this
action was, of course, to kill the old
town and sell lots in the new.
The case was fought through the
courts on q demand from the old towns
people for depot privileges. 1t is now
five or six years at least since the Incl
dent complained of occurred. The lower
courts sustained the plea of the Yakima
City people but the supreme court re-
versed the decision and i~ustities tho
action Of the company.
1t is worthy of especial note that three
of the ablest judges strongly, almost
~passionately, dissent with the majority.
Judges Field, Harlan and Brewer have
no supporters on that able bench, if indeed
any other three of the judges are their
equals in point of legal ability. Jus
tees Field and Harlan are two of the
Oldest members of the court, while Jus
tice Brewer is next to the Youngest in
length of service. 1t is therefore an
especial compliment that the very Wig
orous dissenting opinion should be
written by him He recites what reads
to the ordinary individual like unan-
swerable logic and grows politely indig-
nant when he suggests that the position
taken by the majority Of the court-that
Il railway company may locate Its own
stations without regard to the interests
of the peoples justified by neither
law nor common decency. Worry many
lawyers of recognized ability will be Of
the opinion hat the opinion of these
three justices is far better law thar that
promulgated under the authority of
thcir six brethren. The people will
agree with the dissenting justices to a
man, and the people arc very often right
on important legal as well as important
political and moral questions.

THE NEJy COMMISSIONERS

The vacancies in the Interstate Com
merce commission caused by The death
OF General Bragg some months ago and
the resignation at Il later date of Judge
Cooley. have been filled by the appoint
ment of Judge Lindsay of Kentucky to
succeed the former and Judge McDill Of
low as the successor Of the latter. The
term OF Mr.. Morrison expired at the be-
ginning OF the current year and he has
been reappointed.
The president made the selections
for the vacancies after long and careful
deliberation, and there is reason to be-
lieve with due and thorough cousidera-
ton of the claims of the numerous candi-
dates who were presented to his atteu-
ton. 1t was urged upon him to APP
point mt least to one of the vacancies a
man Of practical experience in common
cial affairs, or one having familiarity
with the details of transportation, but
tho president evidently regards the COM
mission us essentially IA judicial body,
and therefore appointed lawyers. Judge
McDill, who, as the successor of Judge
Cooley, will DO chairman Of the commits
sion, is well equipped for the position.
He has had large experience in pub
lie affairs, is n lawyer OF superior abil-
ity, and has had opportunity to very
thoroughly study the transportation.
problem, particularly in its relation to
western interests. His appointment will
be gratifying to the people west of the
Mississippi as II recognition of this sec
ton, until now not represented on the
commission. Judge Lindsay of Ken-
lucky occupies IL high rank among the
jurists of that state, and from what is
said of him there is reason to expect
that he will prove TO be one Of the
strongest members of the commission.
Judge Lindsay is n democrat. The re-
appointment of Commissioner Morrison
is n proper recognition of his faithful
and able service. There was consider
able opposition to hin from his own
state, Illinois, but the president has
done we'll in disregarding it.
With these appointments the commits
sion will again be complete, consisting
OF the following members: j. w. Me-
Dill, Iowa; William II. Morrison, Hi
nois; Wheelock q. Veazey, Vermont;
Martin A. Knapp, New York; William
Nj. Lindsay, Kentucky.

THE SEL4lCOYTTcTED FlKrR.

The Omaha Fake Factory is trying to
divert the attention Of its patrons from
the complete scoop which THE BEE
achieved in printing the exhaustive
synopsis OF the impending supreme
court decision IN the Boyd-Thayer con-
test. As IN Offset to this scoop it prints
in parallel columns the interviews of
Lincoln attorneys which appeared in
the Lincoln Journal and THE BEE.
Nobody makes pretense that the repro
duction from the Journal Of a local mat
ter is a feat of reportorial enterprise.
The r. f. does not even pretend that
the interviews with the lawyers were
manufactured and that the men inter-
viewed were not correctly quoted. Can
as much be said Of the ridiculous fake
perpetrated by the World Hcrdld in its
second edition Of Saturday and repeated
Sunday morning, wherein all tho state
officers were pictured in a state of ner-
vous prostration over the report ~
Boyd's reinstatement. In its issue OF
Tuesday its Washington correspondent,
Metcalf, nails the lie of the fake editor
to the mast by stating that the teXt of
the pending supreme court decision on
the Boyd-Thayer contest was sold at
from 300 to 5000 each to ten newspapers,
but it was to be exclusive to only one
paper in each section of the country.
Now THE BEE vas the only paper that
received this text by telegraph from
Washington and tho r. +. was scooped
outright because it lacks enterprise and
prefers to steal its news from THE BEE
as it has done for years rather thar
pay for it. Its afternoon report
Saturday, reproduced Sunday morning,
was almost a verbatim report of THE
BEES exclusive dispatch of Saturday
mornings first edition.

THE Board of Education will expend
$685. 600 in the purchase of school sites
and the erection of school buildings dur
ing the present year. The president of
the board must be in a measure the Gus
todian of these funds. He should re-
gard it as a part OF his duty to see that
no warrants are drawn against them
which cover up any sort of %chicanery or
job. The president of the board should
be something more than a fi%gurehead.
He can and should give direction to the
Legislation of the organization and throw
himself in the way of all unwise expend-
iturei Of money. Usually the president
of the board has considered himself
merely a presiding officer placed in the
chair to do the will of the majority with
out inquiring into the methods or mo-
tlves of that majority. This is theoret-
ically correct, but practically the presi-
dent should be the managing officer Of
the educational establishment.

WI pRnpER pnLLCY

The senate OF the New York legisla-
ture was organized yesterday without
any attempt at obstruction on the part
OF the republican members. In this they
pursued the proper policy, regardless of
the question whether or not an effort to
prevent organization would have been
futile. PROFESSIONALLY the first express
sion Of Indignation by republicans fol-
lowing the decisions of the court of
appeals which gave the senate to the
democrats. and the disposition hen
manifested to resist what appeared to be
II deliberate defeat of the popular will
for u partisan purpose, was in the cir
cumstances pardonable. The course
taken by Governor Hill in arbitrarily
attempting to steal the senate was eXas-
perating, and the subsequent conduct of
certain democratic judges served to in
tensify this feeling. An emergency was
presented in which it seemed to be the
evident purpose OF the democratic ma
chine to capture at all hazards the full
control of the state government. Then
it was that the republicans invoked the
protection of the courts, and having
done this their plain duty was to submit
to the result. They were not debarred
the right TO criticize the decisions and
to publicly denounce them as partisan,
but they were e%stopped from offering
any resistance or obstruction to the re-
suit of the decisions. There is no higher
obligation upon the citizen, in whatever
relation. than that of respecting judicial
authority, and it is gratifying to know
that under very aggravating circum-
stances the republican members of the
New York senat have fully recognized
this obligation. a different course would
in any event have been an unfortunate
and dangerous example.
In his message to the legislature Gov
ernor Flower INDUCED in congrntula-
tions upon the fact that for the first
time in eighty years the governor was
able to address his suggestions to a
legislature in political accord with the
executive. 1t remains to be seen
whether this fact will inure to the well
fare of the people of the Empire state.
The very general belief is that the
present governor will be a mere figure
head, ard that David Bennett Hill and
the Tammany leaders will be the par
ties from whom all important sugges-
tions will proceed. In hat event the
public wclftre will be subordinated to
the interests of the dominant politicians,
and the people of New York may soon
learn to repent having placed the de-
mocracy in power. One thing is as
sured, no effort will be spared by the
the mon who have control of the demo-
cratic machine in New York to retain
power and they confidently expect to
keep that state in the democratic line
indefinitely.

The inaugural message of May or

popular appeal for retrenchment and re-
form in the conduct of our municipal

departments with a view TO dispensing
with employees that are rendering no
service for thoir salaries or whose work

THE OHIO SENArORI1L CONTEST.

IIfE OifID Sf.NI IOftjIL tOA TEST.
The caucus Of the republican mem.
bers Of the Ohio Legislatures, to nomi-
nate a successor to Senator Sherman,
will be held tonight, and it is already
practically settled that Mr.. Sherman
will be named for reelection. His sup.
porters claim that they have an assured
majority of ten to twelve, and the ex-
pressions Of the Foraker men indicate
that they regard the claim as being
we~llfounded.
The Ohio senatorial contest has COM
mauded the close attention of repub-
licans throughout the country, and it
has been conducted with great vigor
and earnestness on the part of the can
didates and their friends, among the
latter, it is to be regretted, not without
some bitterness which can do the re-
publican cause in Ohio no good. 1t was
a prominent factor in the last state
campaign, and was perhaps serviceable
in arousiug republicans and thereby
getting out the full strength Of the
party. But it has developed a strong
factional feeling that augurs i'll for the
party in the future if the hot heads on
either side are not brought under con-
troll. At this time the supporters of
Ex-Governor Foraker are showing n
very bad spirit. They are INDUCING in
threats and charging that the national
administration has been eXerting it's in
fluence for the defeat of their candidate.
This is undoubtedly us wholly gratuit-
Gus M would be the counter-charge that
Blaine influence had been used in the
interest of Mr.. Foraker. There is no
evidence that the administration, or
more properly speaking, the president,
has felt any other interest in the con-
test than that common with republicans
everywhere. When the election of a
speaker Of the Ohio house of representa-
tives foreshadowed the success of Sem
ator sherman, Secretary of the Treasury
Foster sent the senator u congratulutory
telegram, but this in no wise involved
tho administration, for everybody must
have known that Fosters symputhies
were with Sherman, as they always have
been in every political relation with
which the latter has beef identified.
Tho disposition manifested by the
friends Of Ex-Governor Foraker to
array themselves against the president
IS therefore unwurranted and may prove
to be- unfortunate. The republicans of
Ohio, not less than of other states, need
to avoid ut this time everything that
will introduce discord and dissension
into the party,
Republican expression throughout the
country has been practically unanimous
in favor of continuing Mr.. Sherman in
tho senate. He is justly recognized as
in some respects the strongest and ablest
statesman in congress, and perhaps in
the country, whose experience and abil-
ity il would not DO wise ut present to dis
peuse with. Ex-Governor Foraker has
demonstrated that he has II strong and
most loyal following in Ohio, and his
political future cannot be uncertain il he
remain faithful to the republican party.
He has u|ndoubted ability, is an ag-
gressiye aud intrepid leader, and has
