Omaha daily bee., 1897-08-01

When the last legislature restored the
mayor to the position which he formerly
held as member of the police board it
emphasized the demand for responsible
city government. AS the chief execu-
tive of the city the mayor is the con-
servator of the peace II in the suppress
sion of riots, tumultuous disturbances
and breaches of the peace he has abso-
lutte control of the chief of police. Incl
dentally the mayor in conjunction with
the police commission is charged with
the supervision and control of the police
force in the ordinary discharge of it's
functions.
In the face of the law which makes
the mayor Jointly responsible for the eff
ficiency and discipline of the police de-
partment the World Herald insists that
In the selection of a chief of police
Mayor MOores shall have no voice. The
only reason advanced in support of this
proposition is that Mayor Moores is a
republican, while the other members of
the board are not republicans. If vii
liam j. Broatch We're still mayor of
Omaha would that paper insist that he
should be barred out from participation
in the boards action with reference to a
new chief? Is there anything in the law
that says that no republican shall have
a vote as member of the police board?
The board is supposed to be a strictly
nonpartisan body and every member is
responsible for his official action indi-
vidually and not as member of any po-
litical party or combination of political
parties. Mayor Moores has the same
right to have a voice in the naming of
a chief of police that his opponent OF
the fusion ticket would have had had
he been elected instead of defeated.
The fear is expressed that should
Mayor Moores be accorded his unques-
tionable right to a voice in the making of
Il chief his vote might decide the election
of the only competent and experienced
candidate for the position and the re-
publican member of the board take the
credit for the result. But is 1t the
mayors fault that other members re-
fuse to live up to their promises to give
the people of Omaha police reform? If
the appointive members of the board
want credit for the reorganization of
the police department why do they not
cooperate with the mayor rather than
byi refusing to do so take upon them
selves all the discredit?
Mayor Moores has an indefeasible
right under the charter to take part in
and he may be depended on not only to
vote in the selection of a chief of police
according to his best judgment, but also
to do his duty fearlessly and without
political bias.

The widow of Charles Dickens the younger

Washington Corrington, an old and wealthy

There is a man living in Thomaston, Me-,

H.. Rider Haggard, the novelist, was a pupil

In his classes he never took a high place,
and both his schoolmates and his masters
looked on him as a rather stupid boy.
The librarian of the public library at Kan
sas City says that for a year there has been
a greater cali for works on Alaska than for
books on any other country or section of the
globe. She has supplied the library, she says,
with everything trustworthy she could pro-
cure on the country during this time, wonder
ing all the while what had aroused so much
interest in that country in Kansas City.
Readers, she says, have studied writings on
the habits of the people in Alaska, read the
government reports on the territory, and
given especial attention to routes to the
Yukon country.

4 PENITENrIARY PRuBLEM.

Under the new constitution of New
York convicts sentenced to any state
penal institution are prohibited from
being employed at any productive in
dustry unless the state or some of its
political subdivisions should buy the
goods produced. The law enacted under
this constitutional provision went into
effect on January 1 of the present year,
but the emand for cOnvict-made articles
has not been sufficient to keep more than
800 hi of the 100 convicts in the Kings
county pe%nitentiary at work. The en-
forced idleDeSS of the unemployed con-
victs has caused seven of them to go
insane and several others are begin
ming to show signs of mental derange-
ment.
The prison authorities are confronted
with a serious problem. The question
presents itself whether the state which
has the right to take a mans life for the
commission of capital crime has the right
to take his reason. In other words has
the state the right to destroy the mental
faculties of %cOnvicts by compulsory idle
ness? If the state must provide employ
ment for men and women serving out
prison sentences what shall the employ
ment be if the products of convict labor
cannot be sold? If their sale is to be
absolutely prohibited they can be dis
posed of in one of two ways-they can
be either destroyed or given away to the
poor. The trouble with the latter method
would be that the poor can use only n
limited class of articles and even the
giving away of these articles must de-
prive free labor of the employment that
their manufacture would afford.
The main contention of the trades
unions, however, has been not so much
against the sale of convict made goods
as against the underselling of the prod
ucts of free labor by those of convict
labor. 1t is the unequal competition be-
tween men who are working for a living
and men who are housed, fed and clothed
by the state. While the problem that
confronts the New York penitentiary
management is p%erplexing for the time
being, because the constitution forbids
the sale of convict made goods and the
supply for state institutions Is greater
thar the demand, the matter will adjust
itself sooner or later by such changes
us will be found essential for the protec-
ton of the lives and health of the con-
yicts,

its attitude in reference to annexation
having disclosed no feeling or sentiment
that could he nationally construed as I'M
plying Il hostile disposition. Certainly
II the japanese government were so dis
posed the controversy with Hawaii
offered n most favorable opportunity for
its manifestation, but instead that gov
eminent accepts the enlightened princi.
pie of arbitration, thus placing itself in
this respect on n plane with the most
civilized nations.
This ought to sweep away all doubt
regarding the peaceful purposes OF
Japan in the Pacific, even If the dcclara-
tons of the Japanese minister Mt Wash
ington to our government and the semi
official utterances of Marquis Ito, ex.
prime minister. were not sufficient to
dissipate any doubt on this point. The
Japanese minister has unequivocally
stated that his country has no intention
to disturb existing conditions In the Pa
cific, while Marquis Ito, speaking for his
emperor and his government, in a re-
cent interview declared that Japan en-
tertained no unfriendly feeling toward
the United States, that she sought only
to safeguard her rights and interests and
those of her people, which she is justified
in doing. Indeed She would not be
worthy the respect of the world If she
did not do so.
Japan has developed n wise and sa-
gacious craftsmanship which is in full
accord with the spirit of the time. Her
statesmen have been careful students of
affairs throughout the world and they
know that the welfare of their country
is not to be advanced by conflicts with
other nations, but by cultivating friendly
relations everywhere. The conquest
they seek is commercials; the glory they
desire to achieve is that which comes
from material progress. Japan has
made it plain to the world that she is Il
nation of peace and while prepared to
maintain her rights seeking no trouble
with other nations and willing to settle
controversies by amicable methods.
This Oriental empire merits much of the
worlds respect.

Boston Herald: Every now and then we
have had the condition presented Of good
crops ia almost all competing graln-growing
countries. a more than fair chance Of a
similar fortunate coincidence Is presented at
the present time. While the grain crop OF
this country may not be abnormal In guam
tity, 1t appears at the present writing to be
quite up to the average, while the crop In
the Argentine Republic Is certainly far below
the normal. The same may be said Of the
wheat yield of eastern Europe, while In India
1t is probable that nearly all the grain grown
there will be required this year for home
consumption. We thus have the possibility
presented OF having a large demand at high
prices for every bushel of surplus grain that
we can send abroad. The effect Of this upon
the business iuterests OF the country cannot
fail to be ~salutary in the extreme.

same Inconvenience" This has been the
situation for a third OF n century or
longer, only 1t has grown steadily worse
from year to year. until nearly tie whole
of II foreign commerce is now carried
in ships owned abroad.
SO much has been said and written on
this subject tlat9i ought to be thor
oughly familiar to every intelligent
American citizen, Yet II may be doubted
whether a majority of them really mp.
preciate its Commanding Importance.
The representatives of commercial inter-
ests in South America who were recently
in this country sought to impress the
necessity of Il merchant marine upon the
public attention and measurably sue
cecded, but their success was not com
mensurate with the magnitude of the
question. IT reaches to every interest
and has the most direct relation to both
the commercial expansion and the rom
mercial independence of the nation. 1t
reaches to the welfare of our agricul-
tural producers as we'll as to that of our
manufacturing industries. The consid-
erations involved are far-reaching and of
the highest significance. They are both
practical and patriotic, compromising
alike the commercial and The political
power of the United States among the
nations of the earth.
This is one of the questions which the
present congress and administration will
be called upon to most earnestly con-
slider. The republican party is com
mitted to the building up of a CONNER
cial marine and there is reason to expect
that it will find a practical solution of
the problem and start the nation on the
road to the attainment of what is at
present its greatest want.

rALESrtNE AVID rnr Jews.

The announcement cabled from Europe
that the executors OF the estate OF Baron
Hirsch are about to call a conference Of
representative Jews with a view TO the
purchase Of Palestine and the re-estab.
lishmcnt of a Jewish kingdom affords
material for speculation. The widely
entertained belief that the Jews scat
tered all over the globe desire nothing
so much as an opportunity to take up
their homes in Palestine will doubtless
make the proposed "reoccupation of the
Holy Land by the descendants of the
chosen people appear to be among the
possibilities of the twentieth century.
Those who are familiar with existing
conditions, however, must be convinced
that such a scheme is wholly visionary
and impracticable.
First and foremost, the great body of
the Jews of today have no yearnings for
n return to Palestine. They may. while
Offering up prayers. turn their faces to-
ward Jerusalem, but they would turn
their backs upon King David's ancient
capital before they had become accli
mated If they were eXilcd to that barren
and dcsolate land from the countries
they now inhabit. The modern Jew has
no aspiration looking toward a Jewish
state. While chcrishing the traditions
Of the biblical period and revering the
memory of the patriarchs, prophets,
priests and warriors who figure in
sacred history, lie has long since idcnti-
fed himself permanently with the peo-
pie among whom he has been born or
reared.
Independent OF the disincllnation of
the Jews of the present era to abandon
the homes which they now have are the
insurmountable obstacles presented by
physical conditions. Three thousand
years ago Palestine was n land of milk
and honey. Today Palestine is n land of
thorns and thistles. To make it suffer
able and capable of sustaining even a
population of 100000 civilized people
would require an enormous outlay of
money and labor. The present Jewish
population of the world is estimated at
from 100000 to 100000. Palestine

one-tifth of that number.
The creation of Il Jewish kingdom out
of Il conglomeration OF men from all
quarters of the earth who have almost
nothing in common except their creed is
as impracticable and preposterous as
would be the proposition to corral all
the Indians in the world INTO one reser-
walton. The first Jewish government
was "A model commune. in which all the
land was owned in common and wealth
In land was rcdiStributed every fifty
years. The Jews of today would be
more likely to form a republic than to
set up a king. They have no royal fam
lily and no royal tribes. The selection
Of Il king would be the last thing they
could agree upon and the smashing of
the kingdom would be the first thing
they would achieve. The whole scheme
is so chimerical that it can never pro-
gress beyond the paper stage.

Secretary Wilson's suggestion that an az
rlcultural experiment station be established
in Alaska is characteristic of his progressive
purpose and method. The possibilities OF
agriculture in Alaska are yet to be ascer-
tanned by practical tests. IL in addition to
it's colossal wealth in minerals. timber and
fisheries, the territory can be made to yield
the whole or even a part Of its food supplies
the demonstration of that fact will add i'm
mensely to tho already rapid material de-
velopment of the country. The establish
ing of an experiment station, such as Mr..
Wilson proposes, Is the direct and sensible
way of finding out to what extent agriculture
can be successfully carried on in the terri
tory, and it would be in thorough accord with
the businessiike policy with which the admin
i~stration is treating the advancing condi-
tions of our Alaskan possessions.

Among the reasons urged by Repre-
sentative Yeiser for the reduction of
telephone tolls by order of the state
Board of Transportation is that such n
reduction would increase the c%ompany's
patrons and revenues and render rnarly
the same enormous profits as at present.
Mr.. Yeiser says the telephone monopoly
is reaping excessive profits and at the
same time wants those excessive profits
continued. Mr.. Yciser will have to he

think he has gone over to the side of

Senator Mason of Illinois has an
nounced his inter ton to devote his prin-
cipal efforts in the next session of on
gress to the furtherance of a scheme for
the establishment Of Il postal savings
bank system in this country. The sena-
tor would model the system upon the
postal savings banks as operated by the

by the postmaster general rather than
lumber up the law with hard and fast
