TOO GREAT

1t is the duty OF the county commits
sioners to remove all insane persons
from the Douglas county Jail, which is
not u fit place for them and never was.
AS a place for temporary retention of
violent insane men or women it may be
all right. but none should be permitted
to remain there. The county hospital
is the place for these wards and they
should be Immediately removed and
kept there until they can be received at
the state institutions at Lincoln or Nor
folk.
With three state hospitals for the in
sane there certainly can be no valid Ok
cuse for OBTAINING these ~unfortunates in
this county for any great length of time.
Douglas county pays more taxes into the
state treasury than any other county
and has a right to demand that the state
shall receive and care for all insane per-
sons delivered over by the authorities
here. This is doubly true because of
the practice of the county officials
throughout this section in sending
paupers and cranks to Omaha, whose
officials and people have become far
famed for their disposition to provide
for distressed and unfortunate humanity.
The burden. however, is becoming toe
heavy. There is no reason why the tax
pagers of Douglas county should be
forced to pay a duplex tax for the care
and support of insane subjects. The
responsibility should be shifted upon the
state, which makes ample provision for
the purpose. Enough money is ex'
pended annually by these state institu'
tons care for double the p~resentnum
Der of insane patients. If the county
commissi nsrs will take mold Of this
matter in dead earnest the injustice
saddled upon our people can be remedied
and hereafter obviated.

THE PARIs n JM8 OUTAGE.

Emboldened by the impunity with
which dynamite outrages have recently
been committed in several European
countries, the bomb-throwing mania OF
the anarchists has at last entered the
very halls Of the French legislature,
dealing havoc among deputies and spec
tators alike. Senseless, stupid, incalied-
for, absolutely unpromising OF results
thus must be characterized the latest
work Of the anarchist. These outbreaks
against society appear TO be grow
ing daily more audacious. They can
not be allowed to continue TO
occur with such frequency as OF late
without proving a most serious menace
to the very existence OF every civilized
community.
The perpctrator of Saturdays crime
asserts that he alone is responsible for
his ac'. thai he undertook IL knowingly
and that he is quite willing to abide by
It's consequences. This may be true in
this case. But it is none the less true
that ne must have been urged on in
his mad design by the system
attic teachings OF anarchistic bodies
Their doctrine is one of destruc-
tion only. They are anxious only
t. pull down today regardless of
the morrow. They encourage indiyidu-
ais to embark upon schemes of their
own for the overthrow of existing gov
ernments and view every attack upon
the lives and property of their opponents
as contributing to the ultimate triumph
of their one idea-anarchy.
Bu: how repress them? The French
Chamber of Deputies has already passed
a series of measures for the bstter pro-
lection OF their social and political in
stitutions. 1t proposes penalties for the

LANCASTER COUNTY JUSTICE.

ia ibtaN AtG
The action OF the county attorney Tor
Lancaster county in filing a nolle
~proscqui upon all the uutricd counts in
the indictments brought by the grand
jury against the men who looted the
state treasury vindisatcs the reputation
OF that county as a place where boodlers
and ringsters may freely u riot with
perfect impunity. 1t is quite possible
that the prosecuting attorneys nay
have pushed tho accused to
trial upon the counts which
gave best promise OF conviction.
II is quite possible that they may have
exerted themselves TO the best OF their
abilities 20 secure a verdict OF guilty
upon a showing Of the facts as disclosed.
If so, il only emphaslzes the fact that IL
Is absolutely impossible to secure a con.
viction in Lincoln Of any n charged
with plundering the state institutions,
unless it is agreed among tho ring to
sacrifice a victim at the altar of an out
ragged public opinion.
Whether the trials OF these cases were
carried n TO the end or whether a nollc
proscqui had been entered in the begin
ming, the result would probably have
been the same. The only inconsistency
in the W ole roaring farce is that Cor
ham Belts, the first OF the gang TO BE-
given n hearing and against whom
the chain Of evidence was no more con
elusive than against the others, failed
to secure an acquittal at the hands OF
the jury. This al only be explained
either rs n mistake or as the result OF
a resolution OF his abettors to placato
the demands Of justice by making him
bear alone the burden Of all their mis-.
deeds. They seem, however, to have
repented OF having yielded even this
much, and now thai Belts Is out on bail
pending a motion for q new trial his
ultimate &c luittal on release upon a
nollc proscqui is the next thing ~ be
expected.
No lengthy justification Of the course
he had taken is needed from the county
attorney who quashed the indictments.
Charges proven, but impossible to con
Wet" is ample explanation. But 1t must
be Il matter for regret that neither Ian.
caster county nor the plunderers' ring
have more to show for the $4,000 OF
public funds that have been wasted or
these cases. A few medals neatly de
signed on brass with inscriptions read
ing Reward of merit for successfully
d%efrauding the state treasury and
securing acquittal in the face OF
clearly proven charges" would be ap
propriate mementoes for distribution
among the beneticiaries of this sublime
travesty on justice. And one of the
medals ought to be saved for ~presenta
ton to Gorham Belts as soon as the
clouds blow over.

o%utragcs aud in the active surveillance
OF a%narchistic societies. II is possible
that these statutes may be turned into
an engine for political oppression 10y an
INSCRIPTIONS government, but II wisely
and ~prudently enforced they may serve
the purpose for which they are intended.
But they will apply only to France,
while anarchy is known TO be inter-
national in its ra%nifcations. No one
country can repress it unaided. Bomb
outrages OF this kind threaten destruction
TO the governments Of all civilized ma
tions. Nothing short OF an international
agreement looking toward their repres-
sion car prove OF lasting benefit.
The action OF the Chamber Of Deputies
for the suppression of incendiary papers
that advocate anarchy and nihilism is
e%minently proper and timely. There
certainly is no place in a republic. in
which universal suffrage prevails and
the government is Of the people and by
the people, for murdcrous onslaughts by
dynamite assassins, and the more severc
the ~reprcssivc measures the sooner the
craze will die out.

PROPOSED POSTAL DISTr,cyS

The present postmaster general agrees
with his predecessor regarding the ex-
~pediency Of establishing postal districts
in the various sections of the country,
each having a experimenting official.
Postmaster General Wanamaker APP
proved the idea in several of his reports
and endeayored to apply it in u Measure
by asking some OF the more important
postmasters to visit and report upon
some OF the small offices in their neigh
borhood. The plan contemplates the
organization of the Pc stofilce depart
ment by divisions, instead OF hay
ing all the postmasters deal di-
rectly with the department. The
handling Of the requests for sup
plies, for clerical allowances and
for inform alton for 100000 employees,
to say nothing of any proper supervision
of their character and efficiency, has be-
come too much for the little staff Of Off
clals around the postmaster general.
This great army, says the postmaster
general in his report, is organized in
companies, without regiments or brig
AIDES, so that the company captain makes
his report To the general commanding
officer.
Postmaster General Bissell believes
hat there should be a supervising di-
rector in each Of the larger states. who
should make frequent visits to all the
postoflices, report upon their condition
and recommend changes and increased
allowances. The expense, II the salaries
of these officials were fixed at 81, 900,
would probably not exceed 500, 600 a
year, and their services, il is believed,
would be likely to result in much more
than the saving of their salaries by
mean of the bad management they
would expose and cause TO he remedied
and the improved methods they would
Omaha daily bee., 1893-12-14

introduce. It. Is said that members OF
the house committee on appropriations
and OF the postohice committee have
promised their assistance in securing
this legislation, in spite Of their desire
to keep appropriations at a minimum,
and the postmaster general is assured an
attentive heariHg when he presents the
matter more in detail to the
committee Of the house having
charge of postal affairs. The plan
is certainly practical and there is no
reason to believe that the postmaster
general overestimates the advantages it
would have IN improving the methods
and the efficiency of the postal service.
With thoroughly competent men as
division superintendent their reports
and recommendations would, as a rule,
receive prompt and favorable consider.
alton at Washington and thus Il great
deal Of time would be saved in provid-
ing requirements for which there is
generally an urgent demand when they
are called FOR, the rule being that post
masters do not ask for additional allow
ances until they become absolutely nee
essary. The suggestion that the ex.
pense incident to this improvement
would be more thar saved through the
better methods and greater efficiency
likely TO be secured would undoubtedly
be justified by results.
