PATRICK SNYDER 18 altogether too much mixed up with Mr. Adam Ford in his venture to capture the county treasury. Ho ought to have let Ford run instead of playing catspaw for him, M. MAGINY an anxious public that his experience in grading contracts qualifies nim for the position of county commissioner. This 18 im- portant, if true. It was generally sup- posed that Barney’s greatest work was as a muriner—assisting schooners over the bar. SHERIFF COBURN has raked in fully twenty-five thousand dollars out of the profits from feeding county prisoners during the past four years. He ought to have been satisfied with two terms of such a fat office. It is cheeky and hoggish for him toask for two years more at the public crib. Tne county boarding house is the profituble link which binds Coburn to the sheriff’s office. In four years he has cleared twenty-five thousand from this sourco alone. And yot these enor- mous profits d1d aot deter him from seizing and koeping fees which properly belong to the county treasury. ————— ONE of the Iowa roads has de- cided to give Towa shippers prompt und convenient facilities for reaching tho Omaba stock market. This result can not fail to prove beneficial to seller and buyer. The Omaha 1warket offers in- ducements equal to Chicago, and with equality of rates and sevvice will com- mand and hold the stock trade of west- ern lowa., Manager Babcock is the right man in the right place. — THE republican candidate for school superintendent, Mr, George Hill, is a sman deserving the undivided support of the citizens of this county. He is thoroughly competent, and worthy of the position. The misfortune which overtook him some years ago at Water- 100, and the fact that he hasa family dependent upon him for support,entitles him, more than any other candidate on the ticket, to a generous support. — CAN the taxpayers of Douglas county afford to continue in oflice a man whom the commissioners were obliged to sue to recover money which belongs to the county? Suit is now pending against Sherill Coburn for nearly three thousand Aollars which he has itlegally appropriated to his own use, and his accounts show a deficit of eleven hun- “dred dollars in fees which he has not ‘reported to the commissioners. The voters should carry out the recommer datious ot the grand jury by electing honest aud competent men to office. Tue extraordioary growth of the new stute of Washington is confirmed by the annual report of the governor. In two years taxable property increased -from sixty-one millions to one huudred and twenty-four millions. During that period the growth in population has *been equally great, and property values « have enhanced fifty per cent in town and country, Washington is especially rich in fertility of soil, vast forests of timber, aud in minerals, besides harbor facilities to attract the trade of the Orlent. Tt will prove one of the richest udditions to the cluster of states. THE CITY REGISTRATION. The registration in thie city foots up about fifteen thousand. This is not much more than one-halfof the total voting population. If Omaha has only one hundred thousand population, and it is generally conceded that sho has, she would have at least twenty-five thou- sand persons of voting age. Of that number twenty per cent might not vote at o local election, but their names should all be on the register. We con- tend that Omaba would have not less than thirty thousand on the register if the name of every man who is entitled to vote appears on the register. In view of the limited facilities and small number of registration places the regis- tration is even better than we expected. In the large eastern cities there is one registrar to every two hundred and and fifty voters, butin Omaha the regis- tration shows seven hundred and fifty to ench registrar, and if the eutire vot- ing population had registerea it would have been fully one thousand, five hun- dred. The result of the registration is suggestive. Next year we must double or vreble the number o1 voting places and registrars. No polling place should be allowed to have more that five hun- dred voters under any circumstances. T0 PUNISH THE RERATE It appears to be understood that most, and perhaps ull, of the employes in the pension office whose pensions were re- rated will be dismissed from the ser- vice. The intention to do this is very plainly indicated in the letter of Secre- tary Noble to the ex-chief of the cer- tificate division of the pension bureau, in which he says he deems it to the best interest of the service that the men who had been rerated in the burcau shoud not con- tinue there to exercise their influence in that divection either by their pres- ence or their counsel. About thirty rsons in the office had their pensions rerated. Most of these men are heads of divisions, soif the purbose of the secretary of the interior is carried out there will have to bo an entire rcor- ganization of the bureau. Doubtless the very general opinion is that there ought to be a reorganization, but it is conceivable that a sweeping dismissal of the re- rated officials might involve some in- justice in individual cases. It will hardly be questionod that these officinls are not all equally responsible for the rervating business, and it is highly prob- able that some of them are wholly inno- cent of any part in 1nstituting this move upon the treasury, having ae- cepted their rverating upon the reasonable presumption that if those superior to them in position did so it was with the warrant of law. It is easy to un- derstand that some of these revated em- ployes may not have given the slightest consideration to the legal asvects of the malter, because, the rerating having received the approval of the commis- sioner, they would most naturally ns- sume that there was authority for 1t. Under such civcumstances, would it be just to punish these persons by dismiss- ing them from the service, thus not ouly depriving them of positious in which they have proved themselves competent and faithful, but necessaril visiting upon them a stigma that would follow them through life? There will be nodifference of opinion as to the expediency of dismissing those officials who are in any degree respon- sible for the rerating scandal. Tt isnot clear that their retention would have any such serious consequences ns Secretary Noble suggests, It is altogether probable that they would not continue to exercise their influence for a policy ot rerating. Their experience in this matter has taught them a lesson they will not for- get. Butitis obviously desirable that an example be made of the men who are responsible for the rerating scandal. It may not be easyto sepurate the guilty from the innocent, but in the work of purging the pension office an eflort should be made to avoid doing in- justice. HOW TO GET THE 1RADE. One of the South American delegates to the three Americas conference said in avecent interview that one of the most serious obstacles in the way of our manufacturers getting into the south- crn markets has been their failure to study what those markets need. The same thing has just been said in a pub- lic address by a Boston merchant who is familar with the South American markets, He said the ques- tion of an increased trade with the countries south of us s not a matter of tariff, or even of subsi- dies, but rather of providing just the goods which those countries require, Hitherto Amervican manufacturers have scemed to regard this southern trade with complete indifference, while the manufacturers of Europe, and par- ticularly of gland, on the other hand, have most assiduously studied the wants of the people of the other Amevicas and made every effort to meet them. Our manu- fucturers have seemed to be- lieve either that they would never want this trade, or if they should it would come for the asking, Only a very few of them nave consequontly made any effort to acquaint themselves with the conditions that must be com- plied with in order to secure this soutn- ern commerce, These are very differ- ent from the conditions that prevail in this country. The people of South Amevica requive certain classes of goods that are marketable only in that latitude, and there are peculiar conditions to be observed even in the method of shipment. The Hos- ton merchaut cited examples showing how loss has occurred through ignorance in the matter of preparing goods for shipment. In sections where legal re- strictions are imposed as to the amount of freight to be carried either on mule paniers or on the backs of peons, it might be found necessary to open the huge packing cases sent by American exporters aud distribute the coutents in smaller loads. Such a pro- ceeding could hardly fail to result in more or less damage to goods, leading to dissatis- faction and misunderstandings, the ten- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, e NOVEMBER 4, 1880 dency'of which would be to jeopardize the trade. Obviously, then, a highly essential, it not the most important thing to be done in order to increase our exports 1o South and Central American countries rests with American mannfacturers. This consists in adapting themselves-to the conditions of the desired trade, and it would seemto be clear that until they do this neither changes in the tariff nor enlarged transportation «facilities would accomplish much tow- ard securing us the trade of the south- orn countries. The task may not be altogether simple and easy, but the pluck, energy and enterprise of our manufacturers can be depended on to accomplich it, however great the diffi- culties, and the prize to be worked for is solarge and valuable as to warrant any effort that may be wecessary to se- cure it. Exouvan is known regarding the posi- tion of the president and secretary of the treasury as to financial affaivs to Jjustify the statement that there will be some definite recommendations respect- ing silver legislation which will not be in line with the unfriendly policy toward silver of the preceding adminis- tration. It1s understood that the presi- dent will say in his message that the prophesies of disaster made by the anti-silver partisuns have been discredited, and that silver has been performing o most useful part in the financial affairs of the country. He will say further *hnt the time is per- haps not far distant when the coin- age of silver may safely be increased to the maximum amount allowed by exist- ing law, four million dollars a month. He may not specitically recommend such an increase at present, but it is expected that he will very clearly indicate to con- gress that the administration would not be hostile to such legislation. In a word, the country will be ioformed that the administration, while inténding to pursue a safe and conservative course, is friendly to silver, and ready by every legitimate means to promote its larger employment as a part of the currency of the country. Ithad Dbeen expected that the presideat would take a neutral stand regarding silver, and the state. ment that he will take a very positive position favorable to that metal wiil greatly encourage and doubtless ma- terially strengthen the partisans of silver. ——— T operation of the new jury system adopted by the two Dakotas will be watched with considerable interest throughout the country. It is tho first attempt to testin modified form the Prussian ystem, which permits a majority of a jury to render-a verdict in criminal cases, the punishment being sealed from the muximum in proportion to the number voting for ‘the verdict. By the law of the Daxotas, if nine of the twelve men agree 1n any case, their decision will be accepted as a verdict. Thi departure in the line of reason and common sense, which commends itself. If this method issupplemented by making intelligence a qualification of jurors, it cau hardly fail to work satis- factorily. MR. SNYDER’S campaign pictures are incomplete and misleading. The artist utterly fails to depict the sirloin blushes which perpetually roost on Adam’s phiz. It is possible that the supply of carmine was not sufficient to produce the rich autumnal tints which Adam cultivates assiduously. Although Mvr. Snyder lays claim to German ante- cedents, the artist pictures him with a Napoleonic goatee, confirming the sus- picion that he is a Frenchman in dis- guise. There is a notable absence of shamrock sprays and the string which Patricius Fordeau pulls on all state occasions. The artist must, however, be given credit for butchering the butcher. ORGE HEDMROD is & man of honor and integrity, and has so oroven him- self in all his business affairs as well as in public life. As a member of the legislature he was one of the very few who stood up manfully from beginning to end for Charles H. Van Wyck. Un- like others, who broke their pledges under all sorts of false pretenses, he firmly withstood all the pressure brought to bear upon him and lived up to his pledges without flinching, Such men are very rare-and when they want public position can always be trusted to do their duty fearlessly and honorably, ADAM SNYDER drew pay as council- man and member of the legislature at the same time, but if anybody can teli us what Mr. Snyder has done in either of those bodies to entitle bim to the office of county treasurer, we would like to know of it. His legislative record is a blank. We doubt whether he was ever kknown even to make a motion to adjourn.

Chicago Herald The Presbyterian donomination appears to be having more than an averageshare of con- troversies. A great many of the members of the sect are taking sides for and against Dr. McCosh on hischange of belief regarding tue doctrine of foreordination, others are di- vided on the question of salvation for the heathen, and the Presbyterians of South Carolina are deeply agitated over certain heretical ideas concerning the creation of Adaw advaoced by Dr. Windrow, & pro- fessor of the state university. Altogether, the Presbyteriaus are having more than the usual share of trouble, and with no prosvect either of settling shese great questions. — There 18 no doubt, however, that there will be just as room in religion for rever- ent worship, Bdundless faith and right con- duct shoul lhpy never be settled at all.

Philatelphia Record Mr. Robert Sutcliff, a merchant of Shef- field, England, and o member of the Society of Fricnds, who traveled through Pennsyl- vania at an ‘etly day, mads; the following record in lus journal, which we copy from Now and Ther 441806, 1st month, 1st: Treturned to Mer- jon. * * * I thought it remarkable, especial- ly at this season of the year, that, notwith- standing there was a good deal of plate in constant use in the house where I lndged the doors were never locked at night, ror even had any locks onithem: the only fasten- ing to tho principal front door was a nail or pin putover the latch and even this precau- tion was not unfrequently omitted. = From what I could learn it was generally the prac tice of this neighborhood to leave' the doors uulocked, al*hough the urnpike ties ba one of the most public turnpike roads in America, only about seven miles from Philadelhia, & city containing considerably more than one hundred thousand inhabitants.

New Orleans Picayune (Dem.) In any question where we were called to choose between the possession and preser- vation of our state's autonomy and the loss of federal power, we would decide always in favor of the former, in favor of local self- government. But should the influence of the southern democracy be extensively with- drawn by voluntary action from the national councils aud the dominution of the republi- cauns overwhelmingly established, then we would have no assurauce thut the republi- cans would not carry out in ethe most summary - waoner their fell designs slnlt the white people of the South, m the coatrary, we would have the very worst to fear, The re- publicans, when they had the power, con- stantly disregarded the power of the consti- tution of the Urited States, They violated and defied it at pleasnre and under similar circumstances would do it again, The south- ern plo are thus constuntly kept in an at- titude of self-defeuse, and they are called upon to ask themselves whether thay should not, by every means in their power, employ their talents in securing and maintain. ing control of the negroes, and thereby hold on to their place in the great democratic rty and their influence in national affais. The problem is one of great interest and im- portance, and its M)l\llrnn needs the utmost wisdom and courage. The Art of Oonversation, Roston Budget.
