The Litest persecution is attributed to the impradence of English and American missionaries, The record of terrible sac- rifices made for the cause of Christianity in the Chinese empire, running through twelve centuries, makes a frightful ac count of cost when the result has been the conversion of perhaps less thau 1,000,000 natives out of the vast popula tion of nearly six hundred millions. Missiouary effort in China is not only wery unpromising work, but extremely daigerous.

Of General Garfield 1t is known that when he was elected tocongress he re- signed from the army, and therefore could not draw double pay, and whether Sprague or Cobb did or did not, does not concern us in this state. They are not candidates for the senate from Nebras It makes no difference to the mud- slinger of the Repubtican that other prominent men served in the army and in congress at the me time. They were, of course, carried on the pay-roll of the army until mustercd out, while congressional salaries were running by the year, and not by the month or ses- sion. The commodious donkey of the Republican actually deciares that this fact doesn’t concern us in this state be- eause neither Sprague nor Cobb is a ean- didate in Nebrask We cheerfully admit that ex-Governor Sprague,of Rhode nd;1s not a ecandi for United tes sen: ,but Amasa Cobb, ndidate for ns.

Why don’t they produce something from his record in congress, or in the state legislature, which will show him to be dishonest, disreputable, incompetent, or negligent of the material welfare of the people. They cannot do it. Having nothing serious to charge him with, they are making much ado about nothing. Hunting Down a Spoilsman. n Mr. Cleveland returns from s fon, it is to be hoped in improved health and replenished energy, he w have no difliculty in finding matters of importance to oceupy his time and atten- tion. He will doubtless feel called upon to have some serious talks with his scere- 'y of state, who has not accomplished since the president’s absence anything that will redound to the glory of the s- ministration, and he may think it advisa- ble to talk over with his acting secretary of the treasury the wisdom of his new ex- pedient for reducing the public debt by inviting bondholders to send in bonds for redemption. Among the many mat- ters to which the executi attention will be asked, charges affecting the ofli cial condust of the chief spoilsman un- der the administration, Pension Com missioner Black, having refercnce to ZLOSS ¥ ions of the civil s e law, will not be the least sting to the country, if not to the president, for the ason that they will at least inciden- tally, so it is smid, illustrate in w lute contempt the ewil servic held by various branches of the reform administration, The president is not wholly ignorant of the course that was pursued by General Black, during the first months of his ad- ministration of the pension bureau, in disregarding the ciyil service la The matter was freely talked of by the press, was informally presented to the attention of Mr. Cleveland by Mr, Eaton when he was a member of the civil serviee com- mission, and was virtually confessed by Black ommittee of in quiry. Indeed, so clearly was it shown that this official bad rccklessly disre garded the law, evidently from strong partisan feeling, that it seemed that the president must inevitably remove him or abandon his professions of reform in this dircetion. But Mr. Cleveland was content with administering some disci plinary counsel, and Black remainsin oflice. The re: ont of the ease will come from ex-Commissioner Eaton, who ap pears to be moved thereto by the desirc to vindicate himself and his fellow-com missioners. The necessity for this effort atvindication grows out of the circum 1ce of the present chief commissioner Oberly — who it may be remarked is exhibiting & degree of zes in his work that may exhaust it befor the term of the administration expires having publicly laid the blame of Gen Wh vaes THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: | oral Bincks violationt of tho oit servico | laws at the door of Mr. Eaton for having failed to make the proper investigations, | and in a regular and formal pre nted the facts to the pr Al though the expectation is said to be cn ] tertaned in some quarters tha re- | newal of specific ainst Black | sy the pr probability re obvious r¢ not | he way sident charges will compel an inve nt, there is very tle ny such resalt why Mr. € emphasize the There eveland fact t taiming m ottice a man who of his and is ¢ wou linal feature reform policy mpt, t now under const of interest spict u profession tration are not always in harmony with facts be ¢ edin, serviceable two years hence The T ury Policy The policy of the treasury department under the present administration been characterized by curious methods and departures. The controll ing motive of the new hands placed in charge scemed to have been to get as far 18 possible away from the system upon which tor twenty-four years the treasury had been most suceessfully conducted by republican administrations. Even tho old method of book-keeping was not sat isfactory and a change was made in the way of keoping accounts. In further pursuance of the new *‘reform'’ dispen- the old-fashioned form of the monthly debt statement, with which the people had become familiar and perfeetly understood, was abandoned and a new form took its vlace whicl nobody com prehended, and which by really misvep- resenting the actual condition of the trensury confused or musled the public. Then, although the democracy had been vigorously declniming against a surplus in the treasury as a temptation to extray- ance in the government, and denoun ng the republ n party for allowing L balances to accumulate in the treasury--the surplus when the demo crats went into power was in round num- bers only 1,000,000—the new treasury ofticials set to work to build up the sur- plus, and in ten months had inereased it | 10 §50,000,000, at the end of which time they ventared to make a call for bonds Thereattes Is wore made which up to last July g 0,000,000, but without tmpairing the treasury balance which ay before they had protessed tor s pregnant with danger. It is impossible 1o suy how much | longer the proce: of accumuiation would have gone on had not the hoard ing muania of Mr. Manning turbed by the Morrison resolution. The requirements of that measure, moditied | by the senate, did not pass into law by reason of the “pocket veto” of the presi dent, but the fact that 1t unmistakably voiced the sentiment of a majority of | congress and of the people had the de- | sived effect, and calls for bonds came | promptly.

These institutions do not desire tosurrender their bonds, and some of them have notdone so, although inter- est has censed. Such banks make the point that having complied with the law in depositing interest-bearing securities as a basis of eirculation, it is & matter of no concern to them that, by no act of theirs, these securities have ccased to be interest-bearing, and they maintain that the government eannot deprive them of a circulation which was obtained on the | basis of a lawtul deposit. Some such complication as this was aporehended at some stage in the pro- cess of redeeming the bonds, but obviously the attitude of the banks in as- suming that called Londs upon which in terest has ceascd ave still good as secnrity is not tenable, However, the experiment of the treasury in inviting the surrender /| of bonds for redemption may under the circumstances not be il though the probability of the result being satisfactory is not very great.
