Many valuable lives were lost in Minneapolis becauso the wires delayed the placing of ladders against the burning building to rescue the unfortunates crying for help. There'is only one sale and speedy remedy, Force the wires under © ground. Self-protection demands it. THE 7REASURY REPORT. The subjects of most general interest discussed in the report of the secrotary of the treasury are revenue reduction and silver. Under the operation of existing laws the annual surplus of revenues after making due provisions for the ordinary expenses of the gove ernment, including the sinking fund, is estimated at about forty-four million dollars. This large sufn taken out of the channels of business and held in the treasury must affect move or less injuriously the legitimate enterprises of the country. It imposes upon the people, also, an unneccssary bucden from which they should be relieved. There are two wethods proposed for reducing the revenue, one being a gon- reduction of tariff duties and an enlargement of the free list, and the other the repeal®df the tax on tobacco and on spirits in the arts and in manufacturing. The first of these would give the greater benefit to the whole people. Reducing import duties would not necessarily reduce revenue, but it wonld effest a saving to all consuiners of foreign products. The repeal of the tobaceo and aleohol taxes would rednce the revenues about thirt seven million dollars. but it 1s not ap- parent that any advantage would re- sult to consumers., The secretary of the treasury, howe favors the repeal of used these taxes, while us tothe taviff he sug- s a reduction in rates upon those ticles, which, by reason of inconsiderate legislation, or changes which have oe- curred in the development of our in dustries, are found to be excessive, an increase in rates upon articles whic have not been successfully produced here beeause not adequately protected, and the transfor to the free list of arti- cles which are not and cannot b cessfully produced here and « cannot economically produce insufficient quantitics to meot the needs of our peo- ple. The secrotary argues against both a horizontal reduction of duties and a taritl for revenue only, but he says that vision of the tariff and customs laws gently needed in order to remove existipg inequalities, some of which he points out. He suggests that in the of wiff law in its broader sense reference should be had notonly to the changed condition of our domestic commerce and manufac- tures since the enactment of previous tariils, but also to the cultivation and extengion of our trade velations with those countries whose geographical sit- uation and resour are such as to make intimate commereial intercourse with them particularly desivable. The position of the secretary regard- ing silver is decidedly hostile to con- tinuing the coinage of the silver dollar. He declares this poticy to be a disturb- ing element in the otherwise excel- lent financial condition of the coun- try, and a positive hindrance to any international agreement look- ing to the free coinage of both metals atafixed ratio. He agrees that the mandatory purchases by the govern- ment of stated quantities of silver, and mandatory coinage of the sume into full legal tender dollars, have proved futile not only in restoring the value of silver, but even in staying the downward price of the metal. The necessity of the joint use of gold and silver as money is ad- mitted, and after iscussing and disap- proving most of the plans which have been sted for solving the silver problem, the secrotary recommends us promising the safest, surest and most factory solution the issuo of treas- ury notes against deposits of silver bul- lion at the market price of silver when deposited. These notes would be re- deemable on demand in silver bullion or in gold, at the option of the govern- ment, orin silver dollars at the option of the holder, and they would be rece able for customs, taxes and ail public dues, and woula also constitute a part of the lawful reserve of any national banking association. The advantages which the secretary be- lieves would result from the adoption of this policy are strongly stated, and in a very convincing way he disposcs of pos- sible objections that inay be raised against it. Although this plan did not originate with the present secretary of the treasury, he has given it its first official recognition and caveful elabora- tion. It cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty what attention it will receive from congress. It would require the repeal of the compulsory feature of the present coinage act, and a strong opposition to this is to be ex- pected. But that it possesses merits superior to those of any other of the plans which are suggested for solving the silver problem, as the conditions now are, must become obvious to all who will give it inteiligent and careful consrderation. ge FOR THE SUPREME BENCLI. T'he nomination of Judge Brewer to the vacancy on the bench of the supreme court of the United States will be ro- ceived with very general approval, particularly in the west. ~ There was o srent pressure brovght 1o bear upon the president from various quarters in con- nection with the appointment to this vacancy. Ohio came forward promptly with several candidates, and persistently urged her prior claim to consideration on the ground that the late Justize Matthews was a citizen of that state. The president’s own state had at least one candidate, Judge Woods, whose chances were for a time regarded as being extremely good. Michigan pre- sented one or two candidates who were strongly supported, and Iowa offered one whom it was thought a week or two ago was the most likely to be chosen, Judge Brewer had been little talked of for the position, and in resisting the strong pressure for others and selecting him the president has shown a proper recognition of distinguished judicial service, Judge Brewer is circuit judge of the Bighth judicial cirenit, which includes the districts of Minnesota, Towa, Mis- souri, Kansas, Arkansas, Nebraska and Colorado, and was appointed in 1884, His judicial career has made him known as one of the ablest jurists in the country, and his high character for in- tegrity has given him a secure place in public confidence. Judge Brewer will take to the bench of the supreme court legal attainments of the highest order, the wisdom of a long judicial experi- ence, and an irreproachablo eharacter, He has ecarned the honor, and it is wisely and justly bestowed. s e WORK OF BRCATCH'S HEN CHMEN. There is an adage that all is fair in war and politics, But there is an un- written code of honor among soldiers and politicians which no man can vio- late without being execrated and held in contempt. In the history of Ne- braska factional feuds have not been uncommon and in some memorable cam- paigns the rank and filo of the party went into open revolt against caodi- dates who were nominated by unfair means or who were notoriously dishon- est and disreputable. In the history of Nobraska politics there is not a parallel to the infamy and base treachery that has culminated in the def: of George W. Lininger. The followers of W. J. Broatch, con- sisting chiefly of mercenary henchmen, city contractors ana the mayor’s ap- pointees on the city pay roll, were fairly overthrown in the primary election, in which Broateh had all the advantage of compact cohorts massedat the city’s ex pense and gangs of repeaters and non- resident graders that were marshaled by the waterworks bosses, Street Com- ssioner Kent, the unotorio Duft Greenand Mre. Wyley, of the Thomson- Houston elactric lighting company. ‘When the battle was over Mr. Broatch had carvied four wards and his com- petitors for the mayor's office five wards. With only twenty-cight out of the sixty-threo dologates electod on asquare 1ssue, Mr. Broatch had no chance for a nomination unless ho could buy four delegates from the opposition. It is an open secret that all the way from five huudred to two thou- sand dollars were offered to anti- Broaten delegates to induce them to go over to Broatch. After ten hours’ session and two hundrod and sixty- seven bailots Mr. Broateh was fairly beaten by the wajority of the conve tion and G. W. Lininger nominated. That nomination was made unanimous on motion of Broatch’s right bower, John T. Clarke. It was duly announced by the chairman, Mr. E. P. Fol- lowing the nomination of Lininger Mr. John Rush was renominated treasuror by ncclamation. Nota dissenting vote was cast or a whisper of opposition from any delegate. Under the political code, every delegate in that convention was in honor bound to give these nomineces their support. But what did they do? In guage of Zach Chandler, in hi speech on pensioning Jeff Davis with other Mexican war veterans, ‘‘with treason in their hearts and bravado on their lips,” these tools and henchmen of Broatch conspired under the inspi tion of that avch-hypocrite and double- dealer, held secret caucusses to play into the handg of the enemy and defeat Lininger and Rush. And while they were plotting to knife Lininger these scoundrels were profuse with professions of good will. Mr. Broateh gave it out that Lininger was his choice above all other rival candidates, The arrant old hypoerite went so far even as to declare that Lininger was his first choice, aud he would not have been a candidate him- self had Taninger only consented to allow his name to be used in the pri- maries. Lininger was invited to Broatch’s banguet with the Twenty- eight and there given pledges and assurances by one and all that they would give him their most cordial and active supbport to the end. But when Lininger’s back was turned the un- principled villains were whetting their tilettos to assassinate him., The most damnable exhibition of duplicity and viperous trenchery was manifested at the Lininger Thauksgiy- ing dinner to the delegates of the con- vention. With the exception of Judas Iscariot Clarke they were all there. They toasted Lininger as their next mayor and each and every one raised their hands to pledge themselves to worl for him and the ticket from that time on to the close of the polls. But how did these traitors keep their word? The very next night they held a secrol cus in Councilman Chaflee’s office. Twelve out of the twenty-eight were there and Paul Vandervoort, the Dodlin granite jobber, who had at the Broatch banquet vledged himself personally to Lininger was also there, Lo concoct the plot that was to defeat Lininger, TRush, Bechel and other candidates who were offensive to Broatch and his tottering dynasty, But the conspirators were not only working out political revenges. It 1s stated by parties who know that over ten thousand dollars of demecratic boodle was puid to the Broatch contingent, and with this boodle the “‘law and order” ticket headed by Cushing and McShane was peddled openly by the very dele- gates who had helped to nominate the ticket, reinforced by members of the re- publican central committee who had sold out, and they did effective work for Cushing. Of all the political desperadoes and low-lived scoundrels that have ever been honored with any political posi- tion in this or any other state E. P Davis stands out in bold relief as the most despicable. Davis is arepublican couneilman, He was made permanent chairman of the republican conveation. As president of that con- vention he made the official declaration of every candidate nominated. There never has been an instance to our knowledge where the president of a convention would stand at the polls ped Jling tickets begotten of the demo- cratg and within sight of men at the polls take boodle from democratic dis- bursers, This is not all, This man Davis, or rather this despicable thing presided at the Thanksgiving dinner given by Mr. Lininger, and with raised haud pledged himself for Lipninger and the ticket from beginning to end. A Zulu who breaks bread with the savages in Cen- tral Africa will abstawn from hostilities; & Bedouin Arab who tastes salt with a traveler 1n the desert will protect him on his journey; a savage Tndian who smokes the pipe of peace with a white man considers himself obligated to show his good will and amity. What @ despicable creature is the man who the lan- tmous would accopt Fhe hospitality of anothor while troason Turksin hisheart! Thero is nothing so mean or disreputable that such a two-logred viper is incapable of. Fortunately the law of the survival of the fittest will rid the politics of Omaha in due time of such rattlesnakes. ——————ee—e WHY HE WAS DEFEATED. When George W. Lininger was nomi- nated by the ‘fepublicans for mayor of Omaha, reawblicans congratulated themselves that they had a clean, cap- able man as _their standard bearer. A successful, enterprising and shrewd business man, honorable and upright in all his dealings and thoroughly identi- fied with Omaha's material welfare. Mr. Lininger was the man above others eminently fitted for the of mayor. His defeat by a decisive ma- jority is by no means due entirely to the treachery of Mayor Broawch and his camp-followers, Mr. Lininger could and would bave been elected in spite of these distinguished ward heelers had it not been for sub- tle influences that will presently manifest themselves to the detriment of Omaha, Mr., Lininger is above all things an honest man and cannot be handled by jobbers or corporate mo- nopolies. e is as fearless as he is in- corruptible, and would have .been an im- passable barrier against the pillage of the treasuryor tho rapacity of cormor- ants who fasten their fangs upon the city i any shape, manner or form. Mr. Cushing is not known to be that sort of a man. Ho always hus been 1n- timately associated with corporate mo- nopolies and in partnership in private enterprises with the general manager of the Burlington road: And this plains the defection in the upper wards, notably the Fourth and Seventh. Mr. Lininger had pitted against him the Burlington bank, of which Cushing is director, and the Burlington voad officials, with Charlie, Green us chiet manipuiator. He had against him Jay Gould’s Missouri Pacifie, with Frank Haalon as political scuttler, and the Pacific Express, in which the Gould in- terest predominates. [le wus offensive to John M. Thurston personally and to all who train with him. These people d about law and order and Jushing’s platform, but way down deep they wanted a mayor who will be pliant and ready to do their bidding. A little reflection over these stubborn facts may open the eyes of our business men Xpayor: AN ANTITRUST BILL. 1t is noteworthy that the first meas- ure -introduced in the senate at the present session of congress is directe against trusts. This bill was introdus by Senator Shermun, and is said to be identical with the one he repovted last year from the lcommittee on finance. It declares all trusts unlawful and the officers of such combinations guilty of misdemeanor, When this measure was presented last year it received some unfavorable comment, as not being sufficiently comprehensive and as leav- ing loopholes through which it might bo evaded. There will unow be ample time to give it a very thorough consid- eration and correct the faults and strengthen the weak points, if there be au position rly introduction of an anti- trust bill is significant of a purpose on the part of the majority in congress to take hold of this matter in earnest. The last congress dallied with it because neither party was dis- posed to take the responsi- bility of legislation upon it. Had the republican senate passed the Sherman bill there was no likelihood thet the democratic house would have done so, and any measure originating in the latter woula in all probability have failed in the senate. Both parties were pledgzed to deal with this question in o practical way, but while they investi- gated and talked there was no action. The republicans having now the con- trol of both houses are in a position to carry out the party pledges to give the people protection against trusts, and Senator Sherman’s introduetion of a bill for this purpose, thus eurly in the ses- slon, may be accepted as assurance that there will be national legisiation on this subject before the present session of congress terminutes, Meanwhile the warning may have a salutary effect in not only preventing further trust o ganizations but in causing those in ex istence to change their character and methods, THE republics of Central America will eventually become afederation of states. The first steps in that direction have been taken. Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemnala and San Salvador have formed a defensive alliance under a ten year treaty, and Costa Rica is also ex- pected to join. Tkere is little doubt that the union will strengthen and stimulate the respective republics and lead to the adoption of a federal con- stitution similar to that of the United States.

Captain Walker says: My 1dea is to secure land on the south beach of Staten Island and start a_hotel to be called the Neptune hotzl No. 1; this for a base of operations, and from that point establish a line of decp.sen light houses and hotels, or houses of vefuge across the ocean, connected by cables and’ supplied with tugs, launch steamers. and sailing craft, constituting, with their crews, a deep-sea messenger telegraph and life aving service, which would constantly patrol the ocean and afford communication with all passing vessels and assistance in case of need; which would pick up boats from shipwrecked or abandoned vessels and give all vessels the latest information, daily or hourly, from sea and shore, so that that the navigator, sailor and traveler at sea could have his daily papers, with all their multifarious information and news, almost as perfect and complete as if on shore. The gen- eral idea of the stations was that they would start from the simple basis of the light beacon, or bell buoy, and gradually pass onward to the light-ship, the flo: ing lighthouse, to the grand floating ocean hotel, or house of refuge,and deep- lighthouse and life ng st~ tion to the mid or interocean grand har- bor of refuge, with its wharves, store- houses and docks, where ships, tempest tossed and broken, could take refuge from the storm and bo repmired and re- fitted, and where travelers could stop, if it pleased them, and take the benefit of sea air for any indefinite pe As to icebergs the patrol v look for them and destroy them by quick acting, destructive sgencics—ay- namite, powder, etc.—or by towing or pushing them into warm latitudes, where they will melt and disappear. The winds and the waves are to be met as they are now, by vessels strong enough to withstand their orvdinary power, When a chain of lighthouses shall be established across the ocean, orin any direction in which many ships and ves- sols suil, ships and vessels gomg in op- posite directions will keep on opposite sides of said live or lines, and thus in a very great measure p.event collisions at sea. SUBMERGED LIGHTHOUSES, The deep sea lighthouses thut wil probably be found best—aside from large ships or floating hotels—will be one in which the main body of the structure will be submerged below the action of the wavés and only acomparatively slender shaft (with the lighthouse proper at its summit, outof reach of the waves) will be exposed to their (the waves) action, thus giving greatest stability. The submerged secti contain rooms for stores, suppl kindsand for living purposes, and to be lighted probably by electvicity, be supplied with engines for pumps, both air and water, and to furnish tne motive power for elevators and lifts for boats and for the fog-horn or siven and bells, ete. Of course the shaft would be provided with a stairway within and an elevator, perhaps, according to the size of the house, it peing one of the possi- bilities of such a system that the difler- ent stations might vary in size accord- ing to location and requirements. superstructure of the larger ones to be of different size, not only for lighting of an IRECTIONS with each FOR BURNS and SCALDS.

U TR Sutter's Fort v be Obliterated An order has been passod by trustees of this city, which if carr into effect, as we boliove it will be, will the demolition of all that remains of the buildings that onea stood within tho palisades ¢ 's ort, says the Sacramento (Cal, ord-Union. The order dircets that the stroets be opene's through the property. Not only will the last remaining relic of the histor! spot be thus obliterated, since a str line cuts through it, but the plat will be divided into small parcels and its idontity lost to history and ‘to huan interest. The owner of the vroperty is a non-vesident of the city, he derives no rental from it, un- loss meagre pastuvago pays him a small sum, and ho will not scil to those who wish to vestore the fort and co vortthe platinto a park. If all appeal to the owner fal, if he remains doaf to the hundreds of requests that have been made, and still refuses to name his price, we propose, when the stroots are cut theough, that at the intersection of the highways there shull bo planted o simple endiring stone to mark the spot where John A. Sutter raised the Amer- ican flag und gave sholter to the early pioneers ifornia. And that on the stone bo inscribed the fact that a certain citizen of Chicago—nam- g him—stubbornly refused to soll the historic spot to the people for a veserve at any price. the Positively Cured b these Little Pills, They alsorelieve Dis- tress from Dyspepsia Indigestion and T Iearty Eating.
