TuE fate of the river and harbor bill is #till uncertain, with the chances rather dnfayor of the failure of the measur nents between ‘the two branches of congress. The house won Tuesday showed a most determined disposition to slaughter the senate amendments to the bill, and there was a pronounced hostility to the Hennepin scanal project, though the majority for wstriking out the appropriations for this Amprovement was not so large as in the wgase of some other proposed approprin- tions. It seems hardly possible that the wery wide difference in the vi of the itwo houses can be bridged by the confer- ence comnuttees, but if it should be, it is * extremely probable that any bill agreed apon will encounter the president’s veto The prospect for appropriations in this “divection is, therefore, not flattering, and #.the responsibility for failure, if fail wesults, will rest chiefly with the senate. be Tue B. & M. railroad has secured con- trol of the Lincoln Democrat, Mr. Gere's old assistant will have charge of the new organ, which will play a tune in unison with the State Journal on all themes in which the railroad is interested.

By this proviso the secretary of the treasury is requirved to issue a call for bonds only when he has in the treasury a sum equal to the call over and above the reserve of 100,000,000, and he is further allowed in his discre- tion to have a working balance not ex- ceeding $20,000,000 over and above the lawful reserve. It is furthermore left to his discretion, in case of an extraordinary emergeney or when in his opinion the public interest shall require it, to suspend further call for bonds for such time as shall be mnecessary to main- tain the public eredit unimpaired, the secretary being of course the judge ef the time required. It will be seen that this s a very e siderable concession from the i course preseribed by the Morrison reso- lution, so much so that it may be serious- ly doubted whether 1t will be accepted by the supporters of the resolution in the house. It practically leaves the whole matter in the hands of the secretary of the treasury, just as it now is, departing from the views of the department with vespect only to the amount of the work- ing balance, which is fixed at about half the amount which Treasurer Jordan named as o safe sum, The limitation to the discretion of the sceretary imposed by the resolution is practically with- drawn by the proviso, since at any time when in his opinion there is an extraor- dinary emergency or the public intevest shall require it, he may suspend the fur- the: 1 of bonds, and continue that sus- pension as long as he shall deem neces- cept the inference that would be conveyed by the adoption of the Mor- rison resolution with this proviso attach- ed, that there is a public desire that the treasury surplus, over and aboye the re- serve required for the protection of the greenback currency, shall be em- ployed in reducing the public debt, we can see no object in such action. It imposes no essentially new conditions or constraints upon the sccre- tary of the treasury. He is not abso- lutely required to.do anything, and so far as we can see he could go on under it, he so desired, without any ion from the course he hasthus far not assured that the reso- lution with the proviso will pass the sen- ate, but it is not doubted that the senate's attachment will be rejected by the ho The chances therefore ave that the matter will be left as it is, wholly in the d n of the secretary of the treasury. 0. : greatest monument in his- tory will be his work for the unification anco-Prussian war was its evidence not its cauw How thoroughly that unitication has been ce- wmented is shown by the recent visit of Emperor William to Southern Germany. Immense crowds lined the rulways chunting poems of pr in honor of “their Kaiser.”' Streets decorated with triumphal arches in Bavarian cities testi- fied to the departure of Austrian influence and to the strength of that German sen- timent which Prussian leadership now represents, The Iron Prince found Germany di- vided into thirty-eight different states with Austria supreme over by far the most ut section. With his adyent to came the first practical steps to- wards dissolving the loose confederation of little states, for whose control both Prussia and Austria were struggling. It was young Bismarck whose peerless po- ltical vision first grasped tne situation and saw that national unity was only possible under the leadership of one or the other of these powers, and that the final arbitrament must be the gage of battle. For nearly twenty yeavs the di- plomat prepared the way for the soldier. Russin’s neutrality was assured. France was isolated. Italy was urged on in her hostility.

The next thing the street commissioner, the city engincer, chicf of police, gas inspector, and every chairman of committees in the council will be demanding $35 month for horse hire. In due time the sewer and paving inspectors will want to have $35 a month added to their salaries under the pretense that walking is tiresome, It this horse commutation is to become a settled policy the city had better open livery, purchase a dozen elegant rigs, and let them out to city oficials, their sisters, cousing and aunts.

A crusade against subsidized journal- ism has begun in Missouri, I St. Louis Republican. champion of consc ive shes with a whip of scorpions the crew who sell their editorial coluns to the railroads and prostitute their abilities to further the political mterests of cor- porate monopoly. The Republican, justly indignant at the brazen audacity of th editors who, under the garb of democ- racy, are trying to strangle free govern- ment, Thie democ atie party will purge itself of railroad hossism, and will seethat the demo- cratie constitution is_enforced by a demo- atic legislature. "There can be no stronger surance of the inherent weakness of the railroads’ influence as opposed to the people than the fact that Congressman Burnes puts his newspaper to the front as the champion of the monopoly, the bribery and the diserim- ination through which domination by rail- roads has become iusupportable.” This is as good doctrine for the demo- erats of Missouri as the consistent preching of the BEE, now earried on for more than two years, has been for Ne- braska republicans. Subsidized journal - ism must go. The people will not sup- vort it and the railroads sooner or later will find out that it is a profitless ven- ture for the companies., A paper branded ailroad trade-mark cannot long 1in even a samblance of mfluence. Prison Labor, The prison labor problem has been treely and widely discussed during the past few years, from every point of view, and while some progr has certainly been made in the direction ot its solution it is still a subject of controversy. The importance of the subject is unquestioned, and it is one of those problems the diffi- culties of which increase with the growth of population, which also brings with it an augmented pressure for solution. In the report on this question submitted to the recent conference of charities and correction, positive ground was taken in favor of providing employment for pris- oners, It was urged that employment is essential to the penitentiary system for criminals, and that without employment the system must be abandoned. When the prisoners of a penitentiary are left in idleness the penitentiary proper no longer exists: it becomes instead a great jail. The true purpose of the penite tiary system is protection—protection from fresh erimes by the same criminals, from their contuminating influence when released, and from any unnccessary burden of cost for their maintenance in prison. These elements of pro- tection cannot be divorced. To keep prisoners in idleness operates to con- firm the ninal characteristics, inten- sify their hurtfulinfluenco when released, and unne wrily inerease the burden of their support, 1t would be better for society, says the report, to release erimi- nals immediately upon their conviction than to keep them imprisoned for a term of years in idieness and then release them. Prison lubor should be applied 50 18 to prepare the prisoner to secure a place in honest industry when sent out from the prison. It should be reforma- tive and upbuilding, accompanied al- ways with the inculeation of a sense of duty and personal responsibility in connection witha the labor performed. The report condemns the contract sys- tem in prison labor. The employment isoners in slavery for profit to the roduces & bad element, but the effect is still more pernicious if their slay ish labor is for profit to a third party, the contractor. There is not, and cannot be, under this system, the singleness of aim required for the best work in preparing the prisoners to become good citizens. Furthermore, under this system either the state or the contractor will be pre- ferred, and one or the other must suffer. The public account system, thought to be the ideal plan, is not likely to be generally adopted because of the large amount of cupital required and the ri iuvolved. The piece-price plan, which is & compromise, the report deemed to be the most practicable. It has the advan- tages of both the contract and the public account systems, and the disadvantages of neither. It requires little or - nothing 10 be invested by the state, the prisoners | rison ofticials without conflicting saddle | | just here council very | of the inter dations of made.

It is feasible and will serve to quell hostile ritation and lead up to a rational and reformed prison systom, for it is the root of the whole matter. The report submits that {he ot the prison labor problem inhe consideration apart irom the partments of prison « government, and that they will di where the whole question of prison dis ciplino is thoroughly understood. But a trouble 1s cncountered which wpears almost insurmountable, The task that devolves upon the legisiator is to find the best method of ntilizing prison labor so that while it shall meet all the requirements of discipline, improve the condition of the prisoners and reduce the burden upon the state, it shall not com- pote to the injury or disadvantage of the labor of the citizen in any direction or degree. How diflicult this task is the wide diversity of views and expedients hat exists clearly shows — ily diversification so ¢ in its de- Cree Bureer admits that he hus never turned over any of the fees which he col- lected for building permits, but charg that the publication of this fact in the Bek was inspiced by malice.

It pueposely re- frained from editorial comment on the matter of retained fees in order to afford the chief time for explanation. But no one who reads the expl tion is likely to admit that 1t helps matters much. The truth of the matter is that Butler, after resigning in huste, repented seriously at Jeisure. Within twenty-four bours afterwards e was setting up the pins to retreat in as dignificd o manner possible. Friends of the five chief were given petitions to circuiateamong firemen i him to withdraw his vesignation, id others took the job of stirring up the underwriters to beg the couneil not to permit Butler to go. - Mr. Butler sudden- ly found out that a salary wasn’t such a fenif he had to use his own horse oceasionally, and pay for its feed. And now that the five chief has backed down he feels it necessary to pose before the public as «n ifijured innocent, and the vietim of malice. It willnotwork.
