THE POLICE IN POLITICS.

The statement that white cannot be used
by any one for political work" will not be
readily believed by those who remember that
The Bee does not give active support to any
one who cannot be used by The Bee for
political work. The statement that the
World-Herald favors the continuation of any
"rotten police management is not true
Neither is the World-Herald in favor of in
augurating a new rotten police manage
ment.-World-H Herald.
1t is one thing to make assertions and
it is another thing to prove them. 1t
has been the habit of every political
crook and public thief whom The Bee
has exposed to assert that the reason
why he had incurred the enmity or
opposition of The Bee was because he
would not allow himself to be used by
its editor
The same tactics have been pursued
by the belled-cats and debauchees Of
the police. Yet not one of them has
ever been in position to refuse The Bee
or its editor either personal or n
political favor. The present chief of
police and his immediate subordinates
have served in the police force for
years and yet they cannot truthfully as
sert that they have ever been solicited
by anybody who had right TO rep
resent The Bee to do any political work
other parties for political purposes
During the late presidential campaign
when pressure was being brought on
the republican police commissioners to
exert their influence through the police
in behalf of the republican ticket. the
editor of The Bee put in an emphatic
protest against such action.
John Redell has been chief of the
Omaha fire department for three years.
He has always had the cordial support
of The Bee, but Mr.. Redell will bear out
the assertion that he has never been
asked for any personal or political favor
by The Bee or anybody authorized to
speak for it. As Il matter of fact, The
Bee does not ut this minute know what
Chief Redell's politics are.
At every stage since Omaha has had a
police under police com
mission The Bee has fought every at
tempt to inject politics into the police |
and supported every honest effort
calculated to improve its efficiency re-
gardless of politics. If Martin White |
were placed on the witness stand he |
would be compelled to testify that neither

any political movement. Nor was he |
ever requested to favor the appointment |
Of any applicant for position because of |
political services rendered or to be
rendered. In its support of Martin
White for chief of police The
Bee has been actuated by the
same motives that have impelled
It to support John Redell as fire chief.

AN OBSTACLE TO TRADE.

One of the representatives of Brazil
at the recent Commercial congress. Cap
tain Da Graca. called on President Nc
Ninley just before the departure of the
latter from Washington. In the course
of the conversation the Brazilian en-
planned that one obstacle in the way of
promoting trade with his country is the
lack of direct communication. He urged
that the people of this country should
be made interested in this important
matter, with view of establishing a
line of regular steamships between the
two continents. Captain Da Graca said
there was Il growing desire on the part
of the people of Brazil and of South
America generally for closer and more
extended commercial relations with the
United States, but until regular and
direct communication by first-cass
steamships was established the people
of South America would be compelled to
continue to buy from Europe manufac-
tured products which they otherwise
would purchase from the United States.
President Mckinley expressed
strong desire to promote commerce be-
tween this country and Brazil and as
sured Captain Da Graca that everything
that could be consistently done by eX-
ecutiye action would have his sympathy
and cooperation. He also assured the
Brazilian representative that the several
executive officers of this government
would assist him in his efforts to pro-
mote the movement In which the people
of both American continents are so
much interested and from the establish
ment of which they would be SO largely
benefited.
This statement gives assurance that
President Mckinley is fully alive to the
commanding Importance, from the com
mercial point OF view, of a merchant
marine adequate to the requirements of
our trade with South America and holds
out the promise that the influence of the
administration will be exerted In be-
half OF legislation designed to build up
the merchant marine. We believe the
country may confidently expect a de-
liyerance on this subject in the annual
message of the president to congress
which will arouse public sentiment in
regard TO the question and awaken an
appreciation OF it that Is not how gen.
orally felt We are very much mis-

Important Decision on the Question
of Assessments.


Judge Tuleys decision in the case of the
Royal League Fraternal Insurance society
seems altogether just and equitable, but il
Will be new TO the members of such societies,
and will probably lead to wide discussion.
The case was this: Mr.. James A. Full
lenwider joined the Royal League society
two years ago and received a certificate
stating that his assessment would be 81 62
per month. This he has paid as it fell due.
These assessments are made on all the
| members for the benefit of the widows and
| orphans of those who die. Where honestly
and wisely managed this is one of the best
and cheapest forms of life insurance that can
be devised.
At the beginning of the present year the
supreme council of the society raised the
ass 5cssments of all the members which made
the amount of Mr.. Fullenwider's monthly
payment $4.52 instead of s2.62 To this he
objected, and asked the court for restrain
ing order on the league, on the ground that
his certificate was a contract which could
only be changed in its terms by mutual
consent.
Judge Tuley holds that there is no contract
such as is claimed. When a person joins
an organization of this kind he ls not del-
ing at arms length with it and in the spirit
that governs transactions between man and
man. He enters into a benevolent and Co
operative undertaking, becomes a part of
the organization itself, and is pledged to
promote its interests as well his own.
While he lives he must pay such assessments
are made on him in order to adequately
meet the expenses of the society and the
payment Of benefits to the families of
deceased members. When he dies similar as
sessments will be made to pay benefits to
his heirs or representatives.
Therefore, when a greater rate of assess
ment is made than that he had heretofore
paid he must pay it, unless it is unreason-
able and inequitable AS in the present case
the increased assessments seemed just there
was no ground for issuing the injunction
prayed for.
We believe Judge Tuley's decision to be
sound law and that it will be upheld by the
supreme court.

A COMPLICATED PROVISION.

The provision in the new tariff law
which requires that wearing apparel eX-
ceedng 800 in value and bought outside
the United States shall be subject to
duty when imported by returning travel.
ers. is likely to prove somewhat trouble
some both to the customs authorities
and to the travellers. The existing reg
ulations require the opening of trunks
and the inspection of baggage but this
practice has been more or less perfume
tory under the policy of admitting all
wearing apparel for personal use free
of duty. The new system will require
a very careful examination of all bag
gage because it will be necessary to de-
term!ne the exact paragraph of the
tariff under which each particular
article falls. For instance. n person
may bring $50 worth of underwear fall
ing outside the exemption limit. which it
VIII first be necessary TO determine
whether it consists of cotton or linen
This question having been determined
and the duty adjusted it will then be
necessary to ascertain whether the
wholesale price of the fabric was such
that the ascertained duty was less than
30 per cent. If this is found to be the
case the duty will be raised to 80 per
cent. The process will have to be pur-
sued with each separate article and may
require taking samples in order to de-
termine the finencss of the goods.
This careful determination of the duty.
says the Washington correspondent of
the Springfield Republican. will be the
easiest of several problems submitted
to the appraising officers. The law
eNemptS from duty wearing apparel
which has been bought in the United
States, without regard to whether its
origin was foreign or domestic. 4
traveller with an easy conscience might
make oath that Il large quantity of
clothing was bought in the United
States, when in fact it had been bought
abroad. The marks of the manufact-
urers and the fact of foreign production
would not be evidence against such an
oath, because the article might have
been bought of a New York importing
house before departure. An oath will
be required in such cases, but thus far
no plans have been made for requiring
an inventory of goods taken out of the
country nor for atfiXing any custom
house mark, indicating their origin in
the United States.
The trainers of this provision of the
new law calculated upon several mil
lions of revenue based upon reports by
the treasury that the effects of return
ing travellers amount in value to not less
than $50,OO0O0O year. An average duty
of 40 per cent upon this amount would
yield $20,00O,O00, but the fact that the
duty is levied is likely to diminish pur-
chases abroad, particularly by travellers
of moderate means. This provision of
the new tariff is certain to cause some
and annoyance. but it will
yield considerable revenue.
