Mr., Crane cOmplimented the United
States supreme -eeHrt upon its decision In the
Kentucky railroad case. He said:
when the railroad company pleaded that
its charter, having been issued prior to
the recently adopted constitution of Ken
lucky, gives IL by implication the right
to acquire contrpl of parallel lines, which no
expost facto legislation can annul, the court
holds substantially that no privileges can
take away the fifht of the people to repeal
or modify thenS,l Herein the public sees
some hope OF ESCAPE from the otherwise
certain fate of one DAY belonging utterly to
corporations who have secured 'inalienable'
rights from corrupt Legislators"

Iowa's Queer Liquor Law.


Iowa is content. with its mulct law. BY
defeating the liquor manufacturing bill
the senate served notice that 1t had de-
termined to let we'll enough alone. Pro-
hibition has been beaten for all time, but 1t
was felt that II would be poor policy just
now to emphasize the fact by rubbing 1t in.
AS the law stands, liquor is sold Just as
freely in that state as in any other, a fine
being substituted for a license. The fine is
one in name only. for 1t condones the ~offense,
and is a license in reality. AS one of the
speakers in the debate pointed out. the sale
OF liquor Is legalized, no matter what term
may be used. 1t is a meaningless distinc-
ton to characterize the mulct tax as an ad-
ditional penalty. Some time. when the peo-
pie of Iowa can do so gracefully. they will
again call things by their right names. and
permit liquor selling In theory as they now
do in fact. They are too near their great
blunder as yet to make a complete confession
of their failure.

1t is a year since the body of Blanche
Lamont. the victim of an atrocious crime.
was found in the belfry Of a San Francisco
church where her brutal murderer had left 1t,
and the perpetrator of the crime Is still In
Jail and unwhipped of Justice, and uncertain
as to his punishment. Truly justice travels
with leaden heel when such things can be,
and still people wonder why the public is
sometimes provoked to mmar measures in
avenging homicide. The trial of Theodore
Durrant was carefully conducted and the evil
dence patiently considered. The verdict OF
the law ought to- have been executed long
ago. tfrWH

Now that the school year is drawing
to q close members of the school board
are mastering up courage enough to re-
wise the salary lists. 1t is proposed to
reduce the pay of janitors and teachers
for the neXt school year and effect a
saving of about $4,000. This needed
reform can be brought about better now
that there is no school board election in
sight than later on in the year. ~''

The proposition to impose an occupa-
ton tax upon wandering merchants who
plant themselves in the city for n few
days and pretend to undersell Omaha
merchants will meet with public APP
proval. Nearly every town in the state
has for a long time enforced such q regu-
lation. Such sales take patronage that
rightfully belongs to t%aNpaying mer-
chants, who, rs a rule, offer better bar
gains. The travelling merchants take
money out of the city which ought to
be left here with old-%established houses.
The objection offered to circuses is APP
plicable in these cases. A heavy license
or occupation tax is levied upon the
showmen, who leave some money in the
city, whereas the travelling tradesinen do
not.

County Treasurer Snyder's books gave

AS time wore its weary length along
Snyder's bondsmen were sued by the

the county commissioners to permit

evading payment. Why they did not
make the request two years ago is not

New D. Developments In the Case of the
Inte Cushier Barnard,

New De velOpments In the Case of the
Late Cashier Barnard.
ROME, N. Y, April There are some
new developments regarding the transac-
tions of George Barnard, cashier of the Fort
Stanwix National bank of this city, who
committed suicide in January after wrecking
the bank. Mr.. Barnard was administrator of
a large number of estates and it Is said
the funds of some of them have been tam
pered with. One of the largest estates
handled by Mr.. Barnard was that of George
Clark, who was the largest land owner in
the state of New York. Mr.. Clark made
an assignment to Mr.. Barnard for the ben
eft of his creditors in 1887 and Judge Fol
lett of Norwich directed Mr.. Barnard to
deposit the funds which came into his hands
with the Manhattan Trust company, and
also ordered him to make a report every six
months to the county clerk of Oswego
county of all the business transacted by him.
Shortly after the assignment Mr.. Clark died
and his estate has since been managed by
Mr.. Barnard. The last report filed by Mr..
Barnard was made July 80, 1895. The re-
port then showed a balance on hand with
the trust company of $40, 1856 and SIS, 1918 on
deposit in the Fort Stanwix bank of this
city, or a total cash on hand Of $59, 104. On
January "a, 1894 the account with the trust
company was balanced and there was then on
hand $14 1884. Since the death Of Mr.. Bar
nard the attorney for the estate has made
al ihNcStiBdlioh dIu II peen JUN tndt
there Is on hand with the Manhattan Trust
company a balance of 81, 1905, with no vouch-
ers to show where the balance has gone
to, and the account with the bank is
found to be overdrawn 1,400.
What Mr.. Barnard has done with all this
money Is not known. He was not a high
liver and had no expensive habits. He was
a quiet and u%nassuming man, The bondsmen
to the Clark estate were Harmon G. Motley,
president OF the defunct bank, who Is reputed
to be a millionaire, and who is now in Cal
~ifornia, and Gustavus v. Selden. who died
several years ago, and whose estate has
never been released.

Inadequate transportation facilities to
and from the state fair were a most per-
picking drawback to the first years
show in Omaha. This was due to the
fact that the railroads did not reckon ON
the vast number of visitors that ia
vored Omaha las year. Now, however,
they know what to do and 1t goes with
out saying that every line running to the
grounds will be fully equipped to meet
all possible demands. The placing of
two large additional dynamos in the
power house of the street railway com-
pany has especial reference to state
fair traffic.

The prompt passage by the senate of
the bill to pension General John NJ.

doubtless attach his signature without
ceremony or delay and the aged Ak
soldier who has served his country in
so many capacities will be assured a
comfortable living during his remaining
years. There is no one in Nebraska but
will rejoice that congress has seen fit
to pay this debt of gratitude to Ne
braska's ex-governor at a time when by
reason of misfortune 1t will be doubly
welcome to the recipient

What Democracy Costs.

TTTHTfFTTuT7TTv VurTIu
When President Harrison came into office
March 4, 1889, the Understanding debt Of
the United States was $858, LOG, 220 and the
annual interest thereon $34, 1898, AGO. BY No
vember /, 1892, the debt had been reduced
to $685., 032, 020 and the interest to
1922, 513, 523. On the list of this month, after
three years and a half of democratic govern
ment, the debt had increased to 1897, 4O4, 14O
and the interest to 500, $40, 997. The interest
bearing debt has been increased 43 per cent
and the annual interest charge 49 per cent.

Rev. Frank Crane has come around to
the conclusion that patriotism is not to
be manufactured by law nor created by
the waving of flags and the laundering
of cannon. Mr.. Crane should have re-
manned in Omaha long enough TO have

the benefit of some of the noisy patriots
who are infesting this vicinity.

Rev. Frank Crane on the Flag.

TTUW Ib SUNuuy THU
The heated zeal to enforce the flag law
is well meant, doubtless. but it is a species
of fiamboyant patriotism that offends sound
sense. Patriots are not made by parade
and fustian by impassioned applause of stock
lingo sentiments and superstitious obeisance
to any symbol. The roots of true patriotism
are the principles of honor, manliness and
justice. To cultivate these in the public
is of more value than to raise the
