STATUS OF THE MAXIMUM RATE CASE.
The maximum freight rate law en-
acted by the legislature of two years
ago is for the time being in n state of
suspended animation pending an APP
peal on behalf of the state to the
United States circuit court of appeals
from the order of the United States
circuit court enioining its enforcement.
There is an almost universal demand
among the people of Nebraska that
this case be prosecuted on the part of
the state If necessary to the supreme
court of the United States. In order
that this demand may be complied
with and all due haste be made to Sc
cure the decision of the appellate
courts, it becomes incumbent upon the
present legislature to give the status
of the case immediate consideration.
Unless the legislature makes the nee
essary appropriation to pay the legiti-
mate expenses of defending the origi-
nal suit and prosecuting the appeal
the case of the state will be put in
serious jeopardy 1t is not the place of
The Bee to pass upon the bills that
have been presented for legal services
and court expenses in connection with
the maximum rate litigation, especially
when members of the legislature can
easily consult with lawyers able to
| give them expert opinion. What
makes the question more than n mere
matter Of making reimbursement for
| JnJ l., bn 20 AT tbn 1apis-
lative inaction must mean the aban-
donment of the appeal and the rail
roads are as ready to win their case in
this way as in any other.
On the other hand we are assured
that If the attorneys in charge of the
states interests are properly sup
ported they will be able to expedite
proceedings greatly to- the public ad-
vantage. 1t is possible to secure a
hearing on the appeal before the cir
cult court of appeals at the term of
court commencing May next. An adj
verse decision could then be appealed
in time to reach the docket of the SUI
preme court at it's October term, when
it would doubtless. be advanced fol

later than "A year hence. Should the
hearing in the circuit court of appeals
be thrown over to a subsequent tern
Il second appeal could not possibly be
brought to the supreme court in time
for it's next term, and the final decision
would probably be delayed another
year. 1t rests therefore within the

Omaha daily bee., 1895-02-02

The people are still waiting for the
startling disclosures which the prosecut-
ing attorneys promised for the prelim-
mary hearing Of the men arrested for
completely in the Barrett Scott murder.
The four men already apprehended
could not possibly have executed the
whole plot by themselves. 1t has been
claimed, and very reasonably, too, that
there must have been no less than n
dozen men concerned In the abduction.
The preliminary trial, however, stopped
short with the four men in custody. If
the authorities have the evidence which
they have all along asserted was in their
possession to bring the crime directly to
the door of every person who had n
hand in it they ought not to leave the
guilty parties much longer at large.
Either one of two things must be true,
the prosecution has exaggerated the i'm
portance of the material in its hands or
it is very slow in making use of its in
formation.

TIE STATEHOOD BILLS

1t is said to be the opinion of demo-
cratic senators that the bills for admit
ting New Mexico, Arizona and
Oklahoma to statehood cannot be
passed at this session, and therefore
they are disposed to allow very little
time for their consideration. 1t would
seem that there ought to be no diff
Guilty and no loss of time in putting
these measures through il the party in
power desired them to pass at this ses-
sion. In all essential respects these
bills are similar to the acts that have
preceded them for admitting territories
to statehood. They do not require to
be discussed at length, because all the
facts regarding the territories are well
known and no serious opposition to
admitting them has been manifested on
the ground that they are not fit for
statehood. 1t might be plausibly urged
that the least populous of them is
hardly entitled to statehood, but this
has not been done. 1t would seem.
therefore, that nothing more is neces-
sary than to set a time for voting on
these measures and all of them could
be disposed of in an hour or two.
The fact is. however, that the party
in control of congress is not at all
anxious to confer statehood upon these
territories at this time. for the reason
that they fear it would mean the GER
tain transfer of the control of the SEN
ate in the next congress to the repub-
licans. All of these territories went
republican at the last election and there
Is every reason to expect that the dom
inant political sentiment in them will
continue to be republican for some
time to come If they were granted
statehood by this congress they would
be represented in the senate of the
next congress- adding, there can be nc
doubt, six to the republican member
ship of that body, thus placing the
| legislative branch of the government
under republican control Without this
it is possible that union of democrats
and populists may control the senate
in the Fifty-fourth congress. This IL
why democratic senator's say the state
hood bills cannot pass at this session
They do not want them passed and th'
probability is they will not be giveI

NO BAR 10 RETRENCHuENT.

The charter for metropolitan cities,
section 16S, provides that the compensa-
tion and salary of all officers and agents
of the city which are not fixed by
charter shall be fixed and determined
by ordinance and shall not be increased
or diminished during the term for which
such officer or agent shall be appointed
This provision is construed by City
Attorney Connell to apply to all place

Guiding inspectors of paving, plumbing,

whose appointments are confirmed by
the council, whether made by the
mayor. the Board of Public Works, the
Board of Health, comptroller, engineer,

is sound law there would be very little
chance for municipal retrenchment,
There is, however room for difference OF
opinion on that score. The mayor and
