ruE rNroN pEror DECISION.

BY unanimous vote the State Board
OF Transportation has issued its mandate
directing the Omaha Bridge and TCrmi.
nal company to construct the proposed
union passenger depot on Ninth street
between Fnrnam and Howard. This
mandate also orders each of the rail
roads that now enter Omaha to arrange
for joint use of the depot facilities to bc
provided by the Terminal company.
In rendering this decision the board has
only carried TO its logical conclusion
the theory upon which the power to
regulate railroads was vested in II.
The prime object of every railroad
commission is the establishment Of an
authority that will compel railways to
afford the public all reasonable facilities
for travel and traffic. The complaint
that Omaha has for years been and Is
now deprived of the comnodious and ac-
cessible depot accommodations to which
every city of like commercial Importance
is entitled was conceded 10 be well
founded aud just ever by the rail
road managers themselves. 1t only re-
manned for the state board to determine
whether il could afford the remedy and
what that remedy should be.
The conclusions of the board as formu-
lated i'm it's findings and order for the
erection of the union depot will prove
highly gratifying to the citizens of
omaha generally. While unforeseen
Instructions may present themselves TO
retard the execution of the mandate,
the fact that the board declared for
the proposed Farnam street site should
90 far toward inducing the various
railways to reach an agreement for the
joint occupancy of the projected depot
and expedite its early completion.
On behalf of the citizens of Omaha,
The Bee takes pleasure in expressing
to each member of the board warm APP

agreement to maintain a truce until Feb
ruary 6, when the successor of Wilson, the
democratic member who died last week. will
arrive. The first formal vote for senator will

PRESIDENTIAL ASPIR ANTS.

Chicago Tribune: General Harrison may
possibly intend his approaching marriage as
a hint to the country that he is not opposed
to second terms in general.
Globe-Democrat: Mckinley appears to be
| especially strong in the south, yet it is not
| safe to place much reliance on promises OF
support from that quarter. A distinguished
republican in McKinley's state has a vivid
recollection of the fickleness of southern
delegates.
Cincinnati Commercial: The name of VIII
lem Mckinley of Canton. O.. is mentioned
in several of Our esteemed exchanges as n
candidate for president of the United States.
It is SO seldom that a gentleman in private
life is mentioned for this distinguished
honor that it is a, pleasure to note the high
position attained by a citizen of Ohio, who
is so well worthy to fill it.
Buffalo Express: The explanation in yes
te!Gay's Express that ex-President Harrison
is, a candidate, for denomination only in the
sense that his friends think 1t possible the
convention may turn to him after getting
deadlcclied with all ether candidates is prob
ally the trJe ne. But there are a number of
other candidates who are counting on ccm-
ing in to break d deadlock Among them Is
Senator Cushman X. Davis of Minnesota,
whose friends assure the public at every
available opportunity that he is still in the
field.
Philadelphia Ledger; The announcement
that President Cleveland will not be a caudi-
date for reelection for a third tenn is not as
important az the correspondents at Washing
ton try to make it appear. Nobody with any
sense supposed that he would be, though
some of the presidents political opponents
pi etenled to be greatly alarmed on the
subject. AS the merest matter Of fact,
which has really been an open secret, Mr..
Clevs land has never desired nor c0ntem-
plated a denomination since the day of his
last election.
New York Sun: Hon. Thcmas w. Palmer,
sometime minister to Spain, seems not to be
loo diplomatic in his communication about
Hon. Benjamin Harrison. He. turns up from
time to time and always too frequently for
the patience of unyieldlng Harrisonians like
Secretary Tibbetts and Consul General New.
and AYERS that General Harrison Is not q
candidate for the nomination for president.
Hia remarks are calculated to pain some
worthy souls in Indiana and are not ac-
cepted elsewhere without a large cynical
discount. Hon. Benjamin Harrison is no
chicken in politics. and when he conceives
a violent and incurable dislike for the job OF
president he knows how to say so in very
good English; and it is likely enough that
he thanks Mr.. Palmer-who is a very good
fel,ow-for nothing.

JUSTICE FIELD IS TO RETIRE.
Present Term of the Supreme Court
Snih to lie Hls Inst.

S0i - III b1s LuSt.
CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-A special to the Daily
News from Washington says: Associate JUS
tice Field has yielded to the long standing
desire Of President Cleveland and agreed to
retire. He will go on the retired list at
the close Of this term of the supreme court
Il he keeps the promise he made recently
to the president and Senator White of Cali
fornia. The senator is authority for the
above statement and for the information
that the name of Justice Fields successor
has been practically agreed upon IL the
person Of Judge Erskine NJ. Ross, whom
President Cleveland in his first term APP
pointed on the United States circuit bench
In the state of California. Judge Ross nomi-
nation will be satisfactory to Justice Field.
Senator White brought about the reconcilia-
ton between the president and Justice Field,
enacted recently at the white house.
WASHINGTON. Jan, 21.-When Justice
Field was asked today regarding the report
that he would retire at the end of this term
he said: mo such statement has been au-
thorized by inc. OF course, a man at my
time of life might retire from the bench at
any time. If my health should not per,nit
mo to attend to my duties easily l should
not hesitate to leave the bench. but so long
as l can attend to these duties with ease /
have no intention Of retiring. At present
my health is very good. Should l again be
as Ill as ] was. last year l should not hest
tate to retire. These stories in regard to
my intention of retiring have been circulated
repeatedly, but without any authority"
1t is generally understood that Justice
Field is ambitious to exceed the term Of
service Of Chief Justice Marshall, whose
and a half years IN the supreme
bench constitute the longest term of service

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Jan. 21.-The general

Charles Warden Lippitt read his message, in
which, after reviewing state affairs, he makes
the following reference to the Venezuelan con-
troversy: Recent events have brought a
great principle Of national policy into promi-
nence. Fer generations tt e right Of Euro ein
nations to encroach upon the western hemis-
phere has been denied. Arbitration in
harmony with the spirit Of the age Is being
urged TO adjust the difficulty. Should investl-
cation determine that the rights of a sister
republic have been violated, the interests of
the United States demand that the wrong
be rlghted. War is greatly to be d~eplorel,
1t Is not, however, the worst calamity that
can befall a nation. To have to add to
taxation without representation, to have
permitted the American seamen to be taken
from American ships on the high seas and
forced into the service of a foreign nation
would not have secured to us the advantages
