ROSEWATER, Editor. Tue new year starts out with *‘a chap- ter of horrors,” and it bids fair to rival 1883, Tar Hastings Gazette-Journal “‘wrishes its thousands of readers a happy Now Year.” How many thousands? Tur free canal system in New York is a great successs, Governor Cleveland, in his message, says that the tonnage shows an increase of 324,350 tons, while the shipments of grain from Buffalo by oanal vere 42,350,916 bushels, against 29,430,688 last year. I is related in an ancient book callod the Bible, that a whale swallowed Jonah, but in more modern chronicles it is said that the Burlington, a greater body than the Biblical whale, couldn’t swallow Vin- ing. We are inclined to believe the latter story. KansAs Ciry papers publish an elabe- rate review of the events of the year. Tho first local event noted on New Year's day, 1883, was a dog fight, and the clos- ing event of the year was a church with an oyster stew, Kansas City is growing more pious every year. Tae protracted session of the pool- makers caused the Philadelphia Record to say: ‘A follow in Omaha doesn’t know whether to stay west or come east, the parties to the railroad pool are so long in making up their minds whether they will shake one another, or shake their custo- mers.” \ Goverxor Creveranp, of New York, is altogether too sanguine. He feels sure that the New York capitol, at Albany, will be finished by New Years, 1886. ‘The people of that state have already taxed themselves $15,318,680 for this white elophant, and the chances are that it will not be finished before the year 1900. GuNerAL MaNAGER HANLON is issuing . his annual passes over the Omaha belt line. As this railway was built on a ~ Sunday, it is fair to conclude that eur olergymen will return their passes when they receive them. By the way, they are only tio-passes, good until used. Col. Hanlon will not forget the members of the oity council,who were never known o roturn anything. To rHE surprise of everybody the Fmma Bond case resulted in the acquit- tal of the prisoners accused of the out- rage. Nobody, however, will be sur- prised it the telegraph should announce the lynching of the villains, whom the llinois jury has set free. It is just such burlesques on justico that make the whole jury system odious, and incite people to tako the law into their own hands. “Pror." TrOMPSON, the theoretical farmer of the Nebraska State Agricul- #ural college, has started out on a ten week's lecturing tour through Nebraska, He propoues to tell the farmers of Ne- ‘braska just how to do it.

Senator Sabin comen to the front with a financial scheme which merits serious consideration. Senator Sabin has reached the conclusion that the payment of the national debt should cease, for at least one or two generations, in order to give the country time enough to recuperate from the burdens and losses incident to the civil war. In his opinion the pay- ment of the national debt should have been stopped a year ago. This has been the view held by Tnx Brr. There is no doubt that one of the chief causes of the present depression in the commercial affairs of this country has been over- taxation and contraction, In our effort to pay off the national debt we have put the industries of the country to the groatest strain that they could bear. We have notonly taxed the producers to meot tho heavy expenses incurred in carrying on the government and levied a tax to pay the interest on the public debt, but we have taxed them at the rate of ten to twelve millions of dollars per month to pay the principal. While the greator part of the national debt bears only three per cent interest we have been paying it off when money commanded from five to eight per cent. If the mil- lions which we have collected in federal taxes were lying idle in the coffers of the rich the policy of paying the national debt would be in theinterest of economy, but] when it is borne in mind that we have taxed the laborer, the artisan, thefarmer, and merchant, uponeverything whichthey eat, anddrink, and wear, topay off a debt that bears only three per cent interest and could just as well be paid off a hundred years hence, the policy of such rapid reduction is not only a blun- der, but aorime. It is an outrage to compel one generation to meet all the sacrifices of life and property that were made to preserve the national life and wipe out slavery. The coming genera- tions, who will reap the benefits of a union preserved and a country grown prosperous and prolific through the sac- rifices and labor of the present genera- tion, should be made to contribute to the fund which has insured to them a priceless heritage. Senator Sabin favors the consolidation of the national deot into a two per cent fifty year bond, into which all bonds should be converted as they mature or are called in. These bonds he proposes to make the basis for bank issu He believes that a majority of the national banks would accept this basis if they were allowed to issue notes to the par value of the bonds, and the That would solve one of the problems which will soon have to be met by the governmeat. A two per centbond on the present national debt would require a tax of less than $40,000,000 a year, or about $3,000,000 a month. Up to the present time we have been taxed from $80,000,- 000 to $100,000,000 a year, to meet in- terest on bonds, besides from $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 a month to reduce the principal. In other words, if Senator Sabin's plan were put in operation we could reduce the taxes $150,000,000 a year, or at the rate of $3 per year for every man, woman and child in the ocountry. There is no doubt that a two per cent bond could be made to serve as a basis for national bank circulation on the conditions proposed by Senator Sabin, That would,however,only take up about $350,000,000 of our bond: Itisadubiousquestion whetherthe remain- ing $1,200,000,000 could be disposed of at par if they were bearing two per cent. There is a very large class of people in this country who have been unalterably opposed to national banks, and would continue to oppose the system. Many of the opponents of the national banks— undoubtedly the safest and most relinble banking system that any country has ever established—do not seom to un- deratand that national banks are no lon- ger a monopoly. They do mot compre- hend that under the present law any company having the necessary bonds to doposit as security is entitled to a national bank charter. There are still others who understand this fact, but insist that the currency of the country should be issued directly by the government, in the same manner as the greenbacks were issued. On this e g it A Aot THE DAILY BE£--OMAHA, FRIDAY JANUARY, 4, 1884, SENATOR SABIN'S SCHFME. establishment of state banks, and that would bring us back to the wildeat cur- rency of our fathers, when every store- keep had tc consult a bank detector to ascertain the value of the different bills, and to protect himself from loss by spu- rious issues. It gs hardly conceivable that we ulmll(\\'n!«hlrn to that condi- tion of financial chaos. While there may be better schemes to meet the financial situation than that proposed by Senator Sabin, his views are well worth considering. TEMPERANCE AND MODERATION. There wero 1,607 murders committed in the United States during the year 1883, The causes of 623 of these mur- dors wore quarrels, Jealousy caused 218 murders and liquor 107, The year'sjsui- cides foot up 727, and liquor is heid ac- countable for only 87 of them. These figures flatly contradict the generally ac- cepted statement: that liquor is responsi- ble for nine-tenths of all murders and suicides. As a matterof fact, borne out by last years' statistics, liquor is the cause of only about one-ninth of the murders and suicides, and it is fair to presume that liquor is responsible for other crimes in about the same propor- tion, Conceding that liquor is responsible for a great deal of crime it would seem that even total abstinence would not abolish the worst of crimes, which is murder, and the constantly increasing destruction of life by suicide. These stubborn facts scem to be utterly ignored by prohibition agitators, who labor under the delusion that there would be no murders, no suicides and no grave crimes if only the sale and consumption of liquor could be stopped. The werst of it is that the attempt to stop the con- sumption of liquor by law has proved a failure wherever the moral sentiment of the community did not sustain it. These visionaries forget that true temperance is not total abstinence from intoxicating drink alone,but moderation in alljthings. They seem to forget that the human body and mind are so constituted that an excess even of grief may produce even the most horrible of crimes. An excess of religious zeal has driven thousands into insane asylums and premature graves. GENERAL PAssENGER AGENT MoORSE, of the Union Pacific, in his circular regard- ing the issuing of passes tv the press, says in substance that, among others, correspondents of daily newspapers will be given free passes if engaged exclusive- ly in the newspaper business, and not in selling stationery or soliciting for job printing houses. He adds: *‘Correspond- ents found canvassing for job work, or selling goods of any kind, will be prompt- ly discontinued from the free list.” This rule if carried out will be a severe blow to the chief industry of the railroad organs, the Republican and the Herald. These establishments have made a great deal of money through so- called correspondents, who, while traveling on free passes, have been soliciting job work and selling sta- tionery. By means of free transporta- tion the Republican and the Herald stationery departments have been enabled to undersell the legitimate stationery dealers, who have to pay for the trans- portation of their traveling men. The same is true in regard to job printing. Mr, Morse may not be aware of these facts, and then again he may. There are exceptions to every rule, and he probably makes exceptions in favor of the Zepub lican and Herald. The discrimination aganst legitimate dealers by giving passos to the traveling salesmen of the stationery departments of the Re- publican and Herald is simply an out- rage. It shows to what extent a railroad can interfere in legitimate business out- sido of its own affairs. If the subsidized organs can send traveling salesmen for stationery and books all over the western country upon free passes, they can with equal propriety establish and maintain a boot and shoe department, a clothing store, a grocery, or any other line of business, and it would not surprise us to see them branch out into mercantile es- tablishments, which will include every line of trade. question there is great divergence of opinion. 1If the gbvernment is to issue all the currency it will be difficult to de- vise any plan by which currency will be supplied from the United States treasury when and where it is needed, and with- drawn when there is no demand for it. During the war, and for some years after, there was a large army, and also a navy, to support. Millions upon millions of greenbacks were put in circulation as payment to soldiers and for war supplies. 1t is different now. Our army is a more skeleton, and our navy a mere thadow. The only legitimate out- lay of the government is to pay its em- ployev and pensioners, together with such incidental distribution of funds as may be required in constructing public build- ings and making river and harbor im- provements, aud running the federal courts, and paying interest upon the public debt. All these expenditures do not involve over §250,000,000 a year, whereas it takes over $700,000,000 a year to supply the country with currency. There are periods in each year whén large amounts of currency are needed in distant sections to move the crops and live stock. In what way would the gov- ernment supply the currency when the national treasury has no dealing with local banks. These banks would have to accumulatecurrency during those perieds to meet the demaud. Money would become stringent and the money sharks would reap the benefit. The abolition of the national banks would in due time be followed by the TaERE is a great deal more truth than poetry in the following comment of the Chicago News: Judge McCrary is another distin- guished ornament of the bench who is to abandon the woolsack and the ermine to become the attorney of a big railway cor- poration. Itisasad commentary upon the institntions of justice when a man finds it more profitable business traveling up and down a railroad, arguing before rural juries as to the value of adead cow orthe value of a broken leg, than ex- Enuudin the law from the bench of a nited Statos court. Yet this seems to be the ambition of every man who en- gages in the legal profession—first, to be elected to the legislature, then to be olected to the bench, and finally to go to work for a railroad corporation, Journalism and Politics, Chicago Nows, John A, Kasson must be afflicted with softening of the brain or some other form of idioey, if it is true, as printed inan Iowa paper, that he intends retiring from olitics and engaging in jouroalism at o8 Moines. It would be #s sublime a piece of folly for Johu A. Kasson to go out of politics anc. into journalism as it would g: for Charles A, Dana to go out of journalism into politics, Kasson is a successful politician, What reason has ho for believing he would rise above me- diocrity in journalism? Journalism'sgrave yard is full of the corpses of politicians who fondly imagined they could run a newspaper as successfully as they conducted a cawmpaign or worked a scheme through a legislature, The Des Moiues Leader says: **With the splen- did personal and political following which Mr, Kasson could command, added to his acknowledged ability, he would speedily builld up & strong, iofluential rty paper.” How many in| E’c‘nb’e:’- uould there be umng:yM‘r{ non’s splendid personal and political fol- lowing? Would theére be fifty who would not expect and ask to ba put on the freo list? The personal and political friends of a newspaper are apt to be the most insatiable deadbeats in the community. What “‘acknowledged ability” has Mr. Kasson ever manifested in the pro- fession of journalism? Is it pre- tended that his career as a statesman affords any criterion of his capabili- ties as the head of a newspaper at Des Moines or anywhere else ! Carl Schurz was a bigger statesman than Kasson ever hoped to be, and it didn’t take very Jong to wind Carl Schurz up when he took hold of a daily paper. There is all the difference in the world between leading the theatrical life of a national politician and grinding away week after week, year in and year eut in a newspaper office. | Neither his reputation as a statesman, nor his personal popularity, nor his pol- itical influence can make a successful journalist out of Mr. Kasson. The 'mn(lornlu amateur finds journalism a hoisterous sea; in two years he sinks to the bottom or steers his ship into port, dismantled, leaky and worm-eaten. sub- Kas- Deserters from the Army. San Francisco Call. General Howard recommended, some some since, that deserters from the army be marked with the letter ‘‘D,” from which the inference seemed fair that he thought the marking should be done with ahot iron. Under the newspaper fire which this suggestion called forth, Gen- eral Howard retired in some disorder and has only shown himself since to state that he had India ink m his mind when the marking penalty was advised. The in- credulity with which this modification of the original recommendation is received is not flattering to General Howard's reputation as a Christian soldier, but as he is not entirely unused to newspaper criticism, he will probably preserve, in a degree, his equanimity. Doubtless, Gen. Howard was annoyed at the frequency of desertions from the army. These amount, in some of the frontier posts, to 20 per cent of the entire force in a year The number in the whole army who clan- destinely declined further service lastyear was 3,721, In an armyof 20,000 odd, this is a percentage that might excuse an officer for devising some remedy. The pay of a soldier is $13 a month the first two years of sexvice, 814 the third, $15 the fourth, and 816 the fifth year. There is nothing in the service but pay and rations. There is no advancement, no dis- tinction of any kind—not even the future of a soldier who expects to be killed in some great battle for the good of his country. The soldiers are a mere police torce to keep unruly Indians in order. There is not much excitement in this service and absolutely no glory. Consequently the few dollars a month the soldier receives is all there is in the service for him. In a republic the military ;and naval service ought not to be the only fields of enter- prise and industry in which there is no promotion. In every other department of human endeavor there is an incentive for those who foel that they can do bet- ter than remain in the ranks of common toilers. While but a small percentage of all rise out of the ranks in any occu- pation, the fact that the chance is open gives them patience to wait. The soldier has nothing to wait for. There is noth- ing whatever at the end of his journey, and not much to be gathered by the way. 8o in too many cases he takes a light view of his contract with the government and re- signs. Probablythe branding iron would not remove the evil. The disgrace of de- serting a “mfi on the eve of battle might be expressed by hot iron in ineffaceable terms but a desertion from an idle camp in the midst of a peaceful community isat worst only a broken engagement. Penal- ties that are out of proportion to offences are more apt to inspire sympathy than censure. Without going into details, the idea may be thrown out that the way to keep soldiers from deserting is to.make the position worth holding. This cannot garlup- be done by increasing the wages, ut a little increase of wages and a reasonable chance to work up in the servjce might accomplish more that hot iron.
