He took an appeal but not being able to furnish bond he had to remain in jail A few days ago he desired to withdraw, the appeal and have the term he has been confined to run into the term of his sentence. But accord ing to law he could not be allowed to do this. He plead guilty and was rep resented by Judge Lowe. On his sin cere promise to reform he was fined 5 and costs.

act The fact is that the worst offenders
against the law are the large roads and
the attempt to saddle responsibility upon
the smaller roads is preposterous.
Pertinent to this is the Indictment of
the Louisville & Nashville railroad by
the federal grand jury at Louisville on
the charge Of discrimination in rates.
This is the railroad company whose
vice president has been most inslstent
that the interstate commerce law does
not need amendment so as TO render
1t more effective and to enlarge the
powers of the commission for enforcing
the law. The indictment Of the COM
pany for violating the law suggests why
its vice president has so persistently
urged that there is no necessity for
strengthening the interstate commerce
act.
The present activity of the commission
may cause some anxiety in railway
circles, as well as among favored ship
pers, but it is in the public interest and
will have general approval.

oMNIBUS

The weakest spot In the federal con-
Stitution is the lack Of a provision that
will enable the president to veto any
item in an appropriation bill. Omnibus
legislation, or, the punching Of promiscu-
claims, Jobs and grabs into one gen.
eral bill, coupled together with meritor-
ious and necessary appropriations have
been the source of colossal corruption
during every session of congress and has
cost the country millions upon millions
OF dollars. The present congress will
be no exception to this wholesale voting
away of public funds through barter
and bargain.
The omnibus claims bill and the river
and harbor bills that are now being log
rolled through congress will alone ag-
gregate nearly 500. 100000. These bills
include many just claims against the
government and appropriations for
much needed improvements, but the
bulk of the enormous sum, which is
proposed to be drawn out of the treas
ury under various pretexts should, by
riBnts, nave Deen adJusted by the cour
Of claims, or been excluded altogether.
When these bills reach the president,
he can only do one of two things. He
can approve the bill with all its jobbery
and robbery, or he can veto 1T and by
80 doing defeat measures in which the
whole country is vitality concerned. This
glazing abuse has grown worse from
year to year., but after the lapse OF
more than a century no amendment to
the federal constitution has been pro
posed that would enable the president
to exercise the veto power In the same
manner as the governors of nearly al
Of the states are able to do with regard
to appropriation bills passed by the re
spective legislatures. 81

TO SrOP REBATEs.

The Interstate Commerce commission
is showing a most commendable pur-
pose to put a stop to ~rate-cutting and
the paying Of rebates by the railroads
and its efforts should be successful. 1t
will be able to present what seems to
be an invulnerable case. Railway off,
clals have testified before the eommis-
sion that rebates are paid. They have
frankly acknowledged hat In this re-
spect the law has been violated and there
is nc doubt that this is sull being done.
The commission asks the courts to stop
this unjust and unlawful discrimination
and there ought To- be no doubt that
the injunction ana The restraining order
asked for will be granted.
1t is said to be understood that the
railroads will make no serious objection
to this; that most Of the large rail
way systems claim to be in favor OF
preventing rate-cutting and paying re
bates and that responsibility for the
practice Is really with the small roads
which cut their rates TO hold their OWL
against the larger roads. Violation
OF the law by the small roads AFFORDS
NO excuse or justification for like
misconduct on the part of the large
roads. II the latter are really DESTROYS

4 BUSco BRIDGE Project.

Now that the bill authorizing the con-
struction Of a railway and wagon bridge
across the Missouri river at South
Omaha has passed both houses Of con-
gress, It may be pertinent for US to ask
who will furnish the capital to build
the bridge. and when will it be built2
At the lowest estimate 1t will cost not
less than half a million Of dollars to
bridge the Missouri river without COM
putting the expense that will be incurred
in constructing the necessary APP
proaches.
1t is an open secret that the scheme
has been engineered through congress
purely as a speculative enterprise with
a view to raising the wind by the sale
Of the franchise.
AS a matter of fact, the three bridges
that now span the Missouri river afford
ample facilities for all the railroad and
wagon traffic that is likely to be built
up at Omaha, South Omaha and Coun-
Gil Bluffs for the next fifty years. So
far as we can learn. nobody in South
Omaha except the promoters, at whose
instance the bill was framed and intro
duced, expects to be benefited by the
construction Of such a bridge, nor does
anybody In these parts expect to see
the third railroad and wagon bridge
constructed across the Missouri river
between South Omaha and Council
Bluffs during the present generation.
There was absolutely no call for it
nor any excuse for granting a franchise
for the construction Of a fourth bridge
without a guaranty from the promoters
that they mean business.
