The saceess of this city in entortaining the visitors was due to the fact that our hospitality was not strained, but while ample as a manifestation of hearty interest and cordiality, had some- thing of the quality of spon- taniety about it. The wisitors were regarded nas distinguished guests to be made comfortable rather than as a‘‘grand nggregation” to be paraded about for the gratification of the curious crowd. They were shown such things as we had to interest them, they were givon enough to eat-and drink, they were made to feel at home in thesociety of our best citizens. and they were not worried with long and heavy speeches relating to matters upon which' they nceded no new information. Their day and a half in Omaha was thus a period of relief and relaxation for them, and it is very ploasing to know that their visit here is one of the most agreeable mem- ories of their journey. The trouble with the treatment shown the visitors in most other cities that the entertainers thought it necessary to makea show of the dele- gates, as if to remove.a quite common impression that they were not people like ourselves. The climax of this ridiculous way of treating the guests appears to have been reached in Philadelphia, where it is smd they were placed in a rope inclosure in the rooms of the Union League ciub, and in that position were gazed at by the people us if they had been so many curiosities. It is easy to understand that this disrespectful and offensive treatment caused a good deal of feeling among the delegates not favorable to Philadelphia’s idens of hespitality, and their first trip having ended the tas unfortunate that anything occurred to leave upon their minds a bad impres- sion. It is understood to be the intention of the state depart- ment to take the delegates on a trip through a portion of the south, if any considerable number of them can be induced to go, and if this is done it 1s to be hoped that south- ern hospitality, which is apt to be somewhat effusive, will carefully guard against the Philadelphin stylo of enter- tainment. The most agreeable hospi- tality is that which, while lacking nothing in heartiness and cordiality, is not strained and excessively formal, and surely nothing can be more offel sive to refined and inteliigent ladies and gentlemen than to be placed in a position whero they must bocome ob- ject of attention from the curious and vulgar., Itisthe fact that they were not subject to this disrespectful sort of treatment in Omaha, but yet were most hospitably entertained, that causes them to ‘remember their visit to this city with particular’ pleasure. MR. KIERSTEAD'S VIEWS. THE BEE 18 not in accord with Mr. Kierstead’s. views asto the manner of enforcing the high license law. The law is specific with regard vo pay- ment of the one thousand-dollar license. Nobody can huve alegal license unless the whole amount is paid in advance. No license could be:revoked and no dive or disorderly place could be sup- pressed if everybody could, violate the law promiscuously. The object of the thousand-dollar license, payabla in ad- vance, is to restrict the number of re- sorts for the sale of liquor. This may be a hardship on men who want to make a living out of saloon-keeping with- out means to carry on the business. But a man who has not a thousand dol- lars of capital should go into some other business. While it is true that alarge number have had to bor- row the money w procure a license, they assumed the risk of selling enough liquor to warrant them in the venture. 11 thirty, forty or even fifty of them can-~ not command the thousand dollars by the first of Junuary, they will have to chauge their occupations. Saloonkeeping is not an inherent righvin any country. If the number of saloans decreases, 1t will simply leaa to a survival of the tittest. There is no high license on banking, but under the laws of Nebraska, people who want to run astate bank, must have at least fifty thousand dollars of actual money. If they cannot command that amount of capital, they may borrow it and pay interest to other banks, but in any event they must show to the bank examiner that they have a paid up capital of fifty thousand dollars, This is no hardship “on poor men who desire to embark in the banking business, but it is a matter of protection for the public. High livense means high license. If the next legislature can be convinced that the traffic in liquor in cities of the metropolitan class can be equally as well restrictéd and conducted under quarterly payments as it is under the year-in-advance system, the law makers may revise the statute in that particu- lar. Until then our hicensing board will be compelled to exact the thousand dollar license in advance. They could not do otherwise without laying them- selves liable to impeachment or re- moval., The mayor himself ie only one- fifth of the boara, and whoever may be elected mayor will be powerless to re- lieve the licensing board from an im- perative mandate of the law which bas been pronounced valid #hd binding by the supreme court of the state. emE—— AN INDIAN POLICY. One of the strong points made in favor of the appointment of Indian Commis- sioner Morgan was the fact that he had given a great deal of careful study to the Indian problem. He was credited with knowing very thoroughly the waants of the Indian, and of possessing advanced ideas as to how the govern- ment should deal with the national wards. ‘T'he annual report of the com- missioner, of which a synopsis is pub- lished, enables the public w koow what these ideas are, These views may clash with the crude notions of Indian rights reformers who have never come in contact with the noble red man. These impractical statesmen have formed their ideas from reading Fenimore Cooper’s novels and the sentimental gush about the abori~ gines which finds its way into gilt- edged volumes ot poetic visionaries. Commissioner Morgan announces eight very general propositions toward disposing of the Indian problem. One of these is that the Indians must con- form to the white man’s ways, ‘*peace- ably if they will, forcibly if they must.” Whatever may be thought of the wis- dom of this suggestion, it is certainly a very novel one to .come from a commissioner of Indian affairs. The only point on which Commissioner Morgan has not gone far enough to- wards solving the Indian problem is his proposition to have all Indians placed vn the same level, Our Indians, scatterod from the Indian Territory to Alaska, are either half-civilized or verging on the savage state. The Cher- oke Choctaws, Seminoles, Pawnees and Otoes, who now occupy thes Tndian Territoty, have reached.an advanced state of civilization. They till the soil, raise cattle and have adapted them- selves to various industrial pursuits. These Indians can be held down strictly to conform with tho ways of the white man. This is also true of the Omalas, Winnebagoes and the tribes that live Dbetween the Missouri and the Columbia. But it is utterly.out of question to bring down the Sioux, Cheyennes, Avapahoes and Apaches to the ways of the white men. These Indians still recognize no law unless it bres, bayonets and re- Thousands of these res- Indians mnever ‘can be unless they are placed control of the army. They ars lazy, shiftless, cunning and blood-thirsty. It is all moonshine to talk about making them work or starve. What congress shonld do with regard to the Indians isto draw the line be- tween the Indians that are alrendy die- posea to earn a living and the cut- throats whoso early training has been with the sealping knife and hatchet. These treacherous and untractable suvages should be placed directly under control of the army, and when in the due course of time they have been taught how to bebave themselves under the aiscipline of experienced army ofli- cers like Generals Crook and Miles, v can be readily transferred to the > of the Indian bureau. subdued under the Trekre has been a considerable ad- vance in silver within a short time, the London price now being eighty-eight cents, This is the highest figare veached during tae curvent year. The explanation of the advance 1s in the enlurged demand from Indi, duo to the improvement in commercial condi- tions in that country, resulting in part from the profitable harvest of last year. This Indian demand has been met from supplies of American bullion, and there being mo surplus when the fall demand for subsidiary colnage purposes arose in England and on the continent., the supply proved in- adequate and a steady advance in v ensued. The shipments of silver from this country to Great Britain the pres- ent year amount to nearly twenty mil- liou dollars, almost double the amount of last yéar’s shipments. The prospect appears favorable for a further advance in the prico of silver. Tuog latest batch of Mormon “‘revela- tions” are mouldy with age, but they serve 1o show the intensity of the muni- cipal campuign raging in Salt Lake City three months before the election The August election gave the gentiles amajority of forty votes in the city. To overcome this growing power and hold on to the oflices, the Mormons 1naugu-~ rated an extensive system of public works and imported hundreds of their followers. The chief object, however, is to secure an increased colony to vote at the February election. The point raised against the ‘ naturalization of these imported Mormons 1s that they cannot become citizens of the United States, havirg sworn to uphold the church against all government laws, If sustained by the court it will dis- franchise two-thirds of the Mormons. THE Inter-State Commerce associa- tion is rapidly going to pieces.

The outlook fs’ phat At the next session of parliament the tory government will play its 1ast stake in the potitical game. Two Irish measures will be introduced in the belief that they will Wedkon the liveral party by completely disaeising the home rule contin- gent. The play is attendea with considera- ble risk, but the stake is high. The stake is continuarice in Ofice. The measures which will be introduced are the endowment of a Catholic university in freland and a land purehase schenfs for that country at the ex- pense of the British treasury and based upon English credit, which would do away with lanalordism. s both of thess measures are manifestly for the amelioration of the condi- tion of the Irish peoplo, most of the Irish members, however much they may be op- posed to the government, will bo constrained to vote for, them. It will be re- called thav the proposed action of the tory mumistry Is fn effect an adopticn of plans heretofore projected by Mr. Gladstone, so that it will be simply a rep- etition of D'Israeli’sold trick—catching the radical bathers in tne water and stealing their cloths Fifteen years ago Mr. Glad- stone went out of office because his schome of university endowment for the benefit of Irish Catholics failed of adequats parli mentary support. Now the government in- teuds to carry through s billidentical n principle with that which the conservative party helped to defeat. Three years ago Mr. Gladstono introduced a land.-purchase bill a8 & measure of justice to land owners in [reland, aud of relief to tenants. The de- feat of that bill placed the present govern- ment in power. It was regarded as impus- ing an unreasonable and dangerous liavility on the English taxvayer. Since then Mr. Chamberlain offe a land scheme which did not even obtain consideration, and Lord Randolph Churchill aevised a plan to which no one would listen. And now como the to- ries, with Mr. Goschen at theit head, aud commit themselvas to what is essentially the Gladstone bill. - »*s While the result of the late elections in France is a clear causo for satisfaction on the part of thosa who are interested in and desire Lhe success of the French republic, it is only fair 1 noto that even the lurge ma- jority of the republicans is not in itsolf a per- fect guarantee of the stability of the state. Unfortunately for the republican party of Fravce, the political system of that state hus not reached the high grade ot unity which is to be found in the great parties in English speaking countries, and which enables these pariies o cast tobeir entire strength for or ngiiust any measure, The republicans of France have been subdivided into smatler parties or cliques, which rarely acted as one harmonious unit; ualess controlled by a leader who has tact and #kill enouzh to di- rect all their nction to a common end. To this banefal fact has been due niuch if not all of the insecurity which seemed to threaten the reppblic. As matters now stana, however, it seems quite possible that . the mear future 5 witness u change’ in this matter. There now appears a w’;ulem:v among the more conservative deputies in every class and ique to array themselves under the banner of a real party, which shall be republican in its political attitude and moderate in its toae. The effect of Such a move would beto strengthen the repiblic immeasurably. Un- questionably against this now party would be arrayed tho ‘thonarchists and radicals, as well as the other extremists of the different classes and groups now enrolled in the larger parties. ¢ Hut the cfforts of these smaller bodies would necessarily bo as they now are, divided*ahd’ desultory. President Carnot has - alredly* shown himsell to be a man of mucn intelhgence and ability, and his accession to the supreme oflice has brought with it a’commendable conservatism that augurs well for the future. If the movement towards that pohitical unity, by which alone political sfrengtih is to ba se- cured, is productive of the resuit hoped for, the stability of the republic would seem to be assured for many years to come. ) +*» The scheme of Australian federation is at- tracting avtention in Eogland as well as in the continent which it immediately affects. English sentiment 1s not likely to opposo any arrangement the Australians may adopt. For a generation or more the Euglish policy about. tho colonies has been not to spend any money on them. Of course, English orators call it by much fiuer names, but _this is what it comes to. Of late years a good many Eng- lishmen have been led to the conclusion that this policy was a mistake, but they are not lizely to induce the house of commons to change it, or any statesman who wishes to wmake a show of saving in his budget to pro- pose a change in it. English poets, like Lord Tennyson, occasionally appeal to the colo- msts all over the world to come up to the help of the mother country agaiust the mighty without showing them any particular reason why they should. Meanwhile the colonists go their own way without paying m more attention to English ovinion than Eoglish opinion pays to them. The scheme of Australian federation is impressive when 1t 19 looked at in a general way; but it must not be examined too closely. Two countries with different tariffs are two, and not one, as regards foreign nations, and the Austral iun colonies have severally enacted tariffs whicn none of them 1s hikely to give up for the sake of union. A federation which leaves each member of the league at liberty w enact commercial laws without reference to any other can not be a federation in our sepse, or in uny other that has much meaning. . B ‘Whatever traditional distrost of Austral- ian intentions may lnger in the Turkish mind is now faint, indeed, compared with the mortal dread of Russia, while in the German pmperor the Ottomaun Caliph must needs recogaize a friend, It was at Berlin that the latter was rescued from the rainous terms of ‘Peace imposed ou him at Sav Stefano, afid Ju wus through the moral interposition ef, Germany that the most southorn Russian outpost still remains north of the Danube. < At: wus through the diplo- matic influence “of° the Iserlin and Vienna governments thap, Alexander of Battenbery was gradually wepned from his depenaence on the czar, andi thatthe annexation of Kastern Roumelia to Bulgaria, instead of being & grievous Wetriment to Turkey been transformed into a benefit. e doubled principality now stands like 4 mas- sive bulwark betyveen the northern aggressor and Constantinople, and the present ruler, Ferdinand of Coburg, has no more earnest well-wisher thah‘the suitan, It is patent that the interest 0 Abdul Hamed would prompt him tajein Austria in defending Ferdinand against Russian attack, aud we may be tolerably certain that sucha con- tingency was not lost sightof 1 his col- loquies with his imperial guest.

Itis merely need- ful that he should, by an understanding with the German kaisor, agree to consider a Rus- slan movewent agaiust Bulgaria as a blow aimed indirectly at the Ottoman empire, o 1t is suspected by Europeau financiors that the Russian ministry is resorting to the pol- ioy of disguising in its reports the real facts a8 1o the country’s financial condition. The budget for 1838, just published, is on its face an astonishing exhibit of prosperity, The reported iucrease in revenue was $34,430,000; ke increase in expeuditures only §2,340,000. The gain in receipts scoms to be fairly stated. Most of it comes from the increase fu cus- toms, internal revenuo taxes and sales of public lands, the sugar tax being the only item which shows a substantial loss as com- pared with 1587, But the expenditure col- umn is evidently Juggled with, The war ex- penditures, for instance, are only $575,000 more than in the proceding year, despite n well known and enormous increase in the military and naval armaments, The public debt charge is decroased by §740,000, which is partly explained by the forced conversion of certain loans to lower rate. But it is understood that R & has recently negoti- ated a new foreign loan. The obvious ques- tion is, why was thisdone, with so enormous & gan in surplus revenue! But even if the budget figures were admitted to be true, they show with equal force the unhappy condition of the Russian citizen. An increaso of $28,- 000,000 in the receipts from direct and indi- rect taxation is anything but the sign of a prosperous people. W Chili is one of the most interesting coun- tries of South America. The population was in 1835 over 2,500,000, and is now estimated as much nearer 5,000,000 The main articles of export are nitre, of which over §23,000,~ 000 worth was exported in 18! copper, nearly 87.500,000 worth; silver, $8,000,000, and agricultural products, $9,000,000. Alto- gother the exports reached a value of nearly $00,000,000 in 1887, Greay Britaln taking nearly 80 per cent. The United States ex-. ports to Chili more largely than it imports from that country, and the demand for American products exceeds the supply. Al- ready the Chilian government, in giving out large contracts to the amount of wany mil- lions of dollars, has stinulated that none but American manufactures should bo used. T'he general impression scems to exist that American goods if properly handled will be readily received by the people of Chili, provided adequate means of communication between the two countries can be estab- lished. As yet, however, no such means exist. st A\ Poor Lo's Oitizenship. Chicagn Herald.

Major-General Schofield Discusses the Matter at Length. ‘WasHixaToy, Nov. 15. —~The annual report of Major-General Schofield, commanding the army, was made public to-day. He pays especial attention to the desertion question. He says: “The causes of discontent which lead to desertion from the army are numer- ous. They have been sought for diligently for years, and many of them have been removed. Somo of them are probably beyond the reuch of any remedy. One of theso is the naturally discontented disposition of men who are led by that feeling alone to seek a change from the mo- notony of bread-winning in any eivil pursuit by entering the supposed arduous service of the United States, ‘I'hese men rarely desert when engaged in 6n_active campaign, how- ever great the hardsbiv or severe the disci- pline may be. It 18 the ordinary labor and routine of military duties which mspire them with discontent. ~These causes of desertion can not be removed. Suflicient remedy may, perhaps, be found io the case of all worthy men who find, after a few months’ trial, that they have mistaken thoir calling, by the more liberal exercise of the power to dis- charge soidiers upon their own application than has ever heretofore prevailed. Great cure in the,recruiting service to pre- vent the enlistment of men of bad character and habits may be found practicable, Meas- ures having these ends in view have already been instituted. Also greater care in the treatment of recruits by oficers and non- commissioned ofticers. ‘I'he records of desertion from the differ- ent organizations leave no room for doubt of the fact that the character of the command- g officer has much to do with the extent of this evil. In some instandes it appears that captains are in the habtt of leaving the care and discipline of their men the first ser- geaut or other non-commissioned officers, without that constant supervision and con- trol which n captain should exercise. In all sucl cases the captaio should be promptly removed from the commavd which he seri- ously neglects. After all possible has been doné to remove reasonable excuses for desertion, 1t still remains true that the means now provided for the arrest and punishment of deserters are wholly Inudl.‘q,imw4 Only one in five is ever cabtured, This is not suflicient to deter men from committing crime. The remedy 18 to authorize civil officers to arrest deserters and increase the rawnrd so as to compensate them for their service.” He recommends that the vhesent five ar- tillery reziments be organized into seven regiments; that the infantry. reziments con- sist of threo buttallions, aggregating tweive companies, and that the enlisted strength of the army be increased to $0.000. Referring to the work of the board of ordnance and fortifications, ho says: ““The plans of the engineer department il provido al tho land dofonses necessary for the security of the great maritime ports of the country, Inafew cases those land defenses will have to be supplomented by floating batteries or vowerful harbor de- fense vessels, because the necessary founda- tions for the guns do mot existon solid ground, Submarine mines and movable tor- pedoes will play au important though second- ary part iu the general plans of defens.
