Attorney Oonornl't Protest.The protest ot Attorney General

Loose against the late action of thehtato board of transportation in post-poning

¬

for two months the operation ofthe rate order issued two months ago ,will have th approval of the great ma-

jority¬

of the prvplo of Nebraska. Noclearer o.xani | l of the potency of rail-road

¬

influence has over been presentedthan was made manifest in the lastaction of the board of transportation.

The order ibsuou by the board in Julyto the railroads , requiring themto readjust their schedule ol

rates on a more just and equitablebasis , relatively to rates prevailing inother states' , was made , as the attorneygeneral says , after duo deliberation.The railroad companies have furnishedno evidence and shown no rea-son in justification of their failureto obey the order , nor have they madeany request for a postponement. Theyhave argued , as they were expected U-

do , against the authority of the boardand the legality of the order , andthey have had recourse to cverjlegal technicality , but thcjhave offered nothing in thenature of evidence to show that tinrates ordered by the board are not failand reasonable.

Now the pretense is sprung that theboard should not proceed to enforce itorder until it has found certain facts re-

garding the cost of the roads , and whiclthe companies are to bo given twmonths to furnish. Reasonably amjustly the attorney general awkt , wh ;

this information has not boon obtninecbefore , and having given cnndjd con-

sideration to the whole matter hreaches the belief , which will bo ver ;

generally acquiesced in that the ad-

journmcnt of the euso for tinreasons assigned is a subterfuge , havingsome other objeci in view than tha-stated. .

The members of the board responsibio for this action are Secretary LawsAuditor Babcock and CommissionoScott , the chief responsibility rostin ;

upon the flrat named. Under whatovcinfluence Laws made a complete changi-of front , and there are others besidethe attorney general who will bo HU-

Iprised at his course , though the "mys-tory" connected with it time will doubt-less clear up. The people of Nobraskwill not bo permitted to forgot the moiwho have in this matter violated theipublic duty and subordinated the publiinterests to those of the corporations.

Now York Democratic Convention.The most important state conventioi-

of the year will assemble in Buffalo teday , and if all signs do not fail it wil-

bo the stormiest. The democrat !

party of Now York is in a more unsettied and inharmonious condition rpresent than it has been before innumber of years , and extraordinary dii-

crotion and skill will bo required tprevent such a conflict between the fa-

tions<

that will confront each other ii-

today's convention as would throw thparty in the state into hopeless cor-fusion *

The question of ronominating Hillthe source of discord. The govornchas a strong following , doubtless thmajority of the party , and it is a menearnest , aggressive and uncomproinii-ing following. A considerable anterminable part of it is the liquor intoiest , which is understood to have raisea quarter of a million dollars to bo en-

ployod In aiding Hill. This Intoreihold a convention in Buffalo last wool

(

which la generally regarded as havinhad for ita prime object the Imoming i

Hill. . On the other hand the govenuhas a considerable opposition amendemocrats who are in favor of a polk-of high license , and ho is bitteropposed by the independents for Hovcr-ireasons. . At a mass mooting hold undithe auspices of the reform clt-In Now York city a few nights ago Hiwas unsparingly denounced for hmany shortcomings , whllo the organsthe independents have boon acorinhim Boveroly and promising the domoiracy that his ronominuticm will co-

tainly defeat the state ticket and put iperil the national candidatou in No-York. .

Such is the highly interesting sitution ot the democracy in the pivotstate which renders the convention thjwill meet to-day of commanding hnpov-unco. . The probability is that H.ill wl

bo rcnomtnnted. Mr. Clevelandmight have gven a differentaspect to the situation , but thereis reason to bellevo that ho hasnot dared to intttrpo t' . although it isnot doubted that ho would prefer someother man. Whatever the result ot theconvention shall be It appears inevit-able

¬

that republican chances of carry-ing

¬

Now York will bo Improved thereby.

The Ill-li School Addition.The board of education has voted to-

usk the people for authority to issuebonds to the amount of $7t ,0H( ) for theconstruction ot an addition to the Highschool building. This course appears to-

bo necessary , owing to the fact that nopart of the bonds voted last year was to-

be applied to enlarging the High schoolbuilding , that improvement being con-

tingent¬

upon the sale of school propertywithin the district. No such propertyhaving been sold , there is no fund ap-

plicable¬

to the construction of the pro-

posed¬

addition to the nigh school-.It

.

is unnoeefsnry now to con-

sider¬

whether or not ,t mistakewas made last year In the propositionsubmitted to the people. The conditionthat confronts u la urgent and must bemet at once In the most pra-ctical way-

.It.

would undoubtedly bo desirable tobuild the addition to the high schoolfrom t lie sale of school property ratherthan lo issue additional bunds , providedsuch property could bo sold at a fail-valuation.

-

. But this the board has boon( liable to do , and probably could not of-

ect-

at present. Recourse to tin issuef bonds seems therefore to bo clearlyecessiry , and unquestionably the poo-

ile-

will approve the proposition. Theduentionnl welfareus well as the conve-once and comfort of hundreds of-

chool children is at stake. It is a slt-

ation-

that must steadily grow worsentil the required facilities are proi-

dod.-

. When the people fully under-land this they will give the board the

authority it asks for.Meanwhile the hope may bo expressed

hat the board , when provided with the'Hilda it requires for the projected tiddl-ion , will oxerclbO due care that none of-

t shall be wasted on experimental) lnns , improper work , the delays of-

ontraetors or otherwise. There hasxson a great deal ot useless extravagancen ono way and another in connectionivith school building in Omaha so thatthe demand for greater care and vigil-nice in future is not without warrant.Our schools can bo first-class in con-struction

Manual of the Railroads ofthe United States for 1888 gives valu-able

¬

information regarding the railroadworld during last year. The generalexhibit shows that the year 1887 wasoinarkably prosperous. Over thirteen

thousand miles of road wore built , inak-ng

-

a total mileage up to the first ofJanuary , 18SS , of nearly ono hundredand fifty thousand miles. The total as-

sets¬

for the year were more than ninebillions of dollars , the liabili-ties

¬

for the same periodwere eight billion nine hundredmillions , leaving a gain to the railroadsof over three hundred millions. Thegross earnings of the railroads was onohundred and cloven millions more thanin 1880. The increase in mileage fet1887 over 18SGvns 9.7 per cent ;

in liabilities 0.2 ; in gross earn-ings 13 ; in not earnings 11

The now railroad construction of thefirst half of 1888 amounts to 2,300 mileslocated principally in the south , south-west and on the Pacific coast.While this is a largo figure for thefirst half of the year , most of it is thecompletion of the unfinished work olast season. What the total construc-tion for 18SS will come to is as yet conjectural. A conservative estimateplaces it for the whole year at about si >

thousand miles , or about half of thinumber of miles of track laid in 1887.

TICK Young Men's Christian n&socia-

tion have devised u popular scheme foi

. lecture rooms , library amother necessities. This last appeal tcthe public of Omaha and vicinity shoultnot bo in vain. The cause is a mosworthy one , and a contribution , no mat-ter how small , coming from everybodywould soon swell the subscription to tindesired amount. When completed tinYoung Men's Christian as ociatioibuilding will not only bo an oriuvmon-to the city but will become an nttrnclive home for thousands of our younf-men. . Ita gymnasium , library , froireading rooms , lectures and the likewill bo open to the people irrospeetivi-of creed. A more nominal sum will pa.for a yearly membership in the institut-ion. . Conducted as it is in thcities of the east , the Youni-Men's Christian association wilbecome a popular club surrounded willa healthful moral atmosphere. An in-

Htitutlon of such a character has ionbeen needed in Omaha , and its complu-tion should not bo retarded for luck c-

funds. . Lot everybody send in his milso that the building may bo dedicatewith the opening of the now year.

growl , and the foam drippintr from hiswide open jaws. The little man coollyppnt upon the ground and looked aroundfor a weapon. There was nothing handybut a box partly full of poaches belong-ing
