The governor can secure valuable points on tho folly of mixing politics and journalism by addressing the retired democratic statesmen of Ne- braska. THE Dakota delegation has lost all in- terest in the river and harbor bill. For some unaccountable reason the members a moderate amount of sustenance for the political snags of that region. The fate of the bill is therefore a matter of pro- found indifference to the hustlers. THERE is nificint unanimity in thoe state of Beatrice against the anti- monopoly republican confevence.

THE democrats of the third congres- sional distriet of Pennsylvania, in se- lecting Richard Vau ex-mayor of Philadelphia, as their candidate to sue- ceed the late Samuel J. Ragpdall, not only disregarded the demands of the ma- chine element, but emphasized this by nominating the candidate from an ad- jacent district, Mr. Vaux is understood to hold viows regarding the tariff similar to those of Mr, Randall, and he has long been prominent in his party as a strong and able man, The district is demo- cratic by a considerable majority, and unless there is serious defection, which in the circumstancesis quite possible, the election of Mr, Vaux is doubtless as- sured, The democrats of the lhhd' Pennsylvania district have certainly set an exumple in this action which wmerits commendation. SILVER IN THE SENATE. The servious discussion of the silver question was begun in the senate yester- dny. The debate of last week, which was forced by a single democratic sen tor who ob) ed to allowing considera- tion of the subject to be postponed be- yond the day originally designated for king it up, was not of a nature to at- tract a great deal of attention. The discussion now entered upon, and which it is thought will last several weeks, is certain to com- mand the attention of the country to the oxclusion of ¢ other question, in- cluding the tariff, the debate on which is ting less popular interest than formerly, As to the situation régarding silver, there appears to be no change, the di- ion among republicans upon the question of the redemption of bullion notes remaining as it was when the ef- fort to effect an agreement in caucus failed. Our dispatches say that the ro- publicans are not likely to reach an sment, but it is hardly probable that the small minority of them whé insist upon redeeming the notes issued dgainst silver in lawful money, which of course includes gold, will im- peril all silver legislation by insisting to the end upon a policy which unquestion- ably the conservative judgment of the country does not approve. The more ul friends of silver who, while de- ag ring its larger use in the currency also wish to conserve the existing sound financial system of the country, do not believe it would be wise or sufe to attempt to force silver to a parity with gold by an act of legislation requiring the redemption of the paper representative of silver in lawful money, but maintain that all interests would be befter subserved and protected by mak- ing the notes redeemable in silver, as provided for in the measure agreed on by the conference committee of the two houses. Under the plan proposed by the extreme silver men it is reasonable to be apprehended that within a brief time, porhaps not more than a year, the husiness of the country would be forced to is, while under the other plan, which proposes to practically main- tain the proseut relations of the currency, silver would doubtless be gradually ap- preciated without causing any disturb- ance, or none of a serious character, to the finances and business of the count In the one case there would be invited movement to put gold at, a preminm, while in the other such a danger, if it should exist atall, would be very remote. If once gold should go out of use in the country and command a premium, it would be found extremely difticult to again lift the price of silver, and we should be thrown upon a silver basis for an_indefi- nite period, with all the financial and commercial disadvantages inevitable to that anomalous position. There are some ominous indications of nlmtmuy take place following the pro- posed Silver legislation, whatever form it shall take. Speculation for the pur- pose of cornering the silver market is saidto have already begun, and the fact that the government has purchased bul- lion in London gives credence to the statement. The possibility of the gov- ernment having to encounter a formida- ble speculative movement in silver when compelled to buy an amount of bullion monthly in excess of the product of the couniry is one to be seriously considered in connection with legislation on this subject. Meanwhile the discussion in the senate, which promises to be thovough and exhaustive, will deserve the careful attention of the country. A TIRESOME DEBATE. The best illustration of the uselessness of a prolonged debate on the tariff is seen in the fact that since the leaders of the discussion on both sides in the house have been heard members have mani- fested no interest in the controversy. The speakers talked for the most part to empty seats, on the floor and in the galleries, the discussion failing to at- tract even the loungers and sight-scers in the national capital. It is true also of the general public that it has taken scarcely any interést in the de- bate. The speeches of a few men have been cavefully read, but all the others that encumber the pages of the Coygressional Record will be lost to everybody pt the constituents of the men who make them, upon whose atten- tion they will in due time bo forced at the expense of their authors. The truth is that only a very small part of a discussion of this kind ever has any value, The great majority of the who engage in it have only the merest surface knowlodge of the subject; many of them are not capable of fully under- standing it, and nearly all are influenced by party and political considerations, Any one who will take the trouble td read these speeches will be astonished at the volume of platitude they - contain and their barenness of argument, to say nothing of the vast amount of loose and misleading tion, which may be due to ignorance or dishonesty, or to both. Thisis equally asser- true of men of both ties, and it is largely because this is known to the public that tariff del tle attention, But apart from this the fact that the subject has been s0 fully and exhaustively discussed dur- ing the last few years that most people understand there is very little that is new in a general way that can bo said on it. Some freshness may be given to the consideration of details, but so far as the fundamental principles are concernod there is nothing to be added to the oluminous exposition the subject has received in congress during the last few years, All that can be said in a gencral way must be & tedious and profitless repetition, with some change of * pheaseology, of what has boen spoken over and over again. This will explain why the present de- bate is so tame and uninterestin, E Mr. McKinley, with his exc skill and resources, was not able to en- liven the subject with any Impressi new ideas, and Mr, Mills made perhaps the least creditable showing he hus ever made in g tariff debate. Some othe have endeavored to put a little fresh life @ receives so lit- { and spirit into the controversy” b; flights of eloquence and dashos o humor, but these have been en- gulfed and lost in the great sea of plati- tude and commonplace. But while in- torest in the discussion lags, it is suffi- clently nctive regarding the probable decision, and if the populat wish could have any influence upon congress this would b reached with as little delay ns possible consistent with the due consid- eration of the details of the measure. The house has now entered upon the amendment stage, which is to be con- tinued eight days, when a vote will be taken on the bi]l. It is not expected that the mensure as veported will be very greatly changed, and no doubt seems to be entertained that it will pass the house. How it will fare in the senate, where the discussion is pretty certain to be much more ex- tended than in the house, is a most in- teresting question, which time alone can solve. There will, however, be a very strong pressure upon the semate for numerous and material modifications of the bill as it now stands, and some of these are likely to be made there if not anticipated in the house. MAYOR CUSHI RESPONSIBILITY. According to City Attorney Poppleton there will be a vacancy in the chairman- ship of the board of public works on May 17. It therefore devolves upon Mayor Cushing to nominate a successor to Major Balcombe at the next council meeting. 1t,goes without saying that this is the most important position within the gift of the mayor. While the chairman of the bonrd of public works does not abso- lutely control all contracts for paving, grading, sewer construction and street cleaning, he has absolute supervision of all improvements, that involve the ex- penditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. A competent chairman who cannot’be bulldozed or bribed will enforce an hon- est compliance with contract obligations and earn his year's sulary ten times every month. Nobody understands bet- ter than Mayor Cushing what a dishon- est contractor can do if he is not watched and checked. Mr. Cushing cortainly knows enough to know that every tax- payer in Omaha is vitally concerned in the honest and efficient supervision of our public works. It is not merely a question of what special taxes proporty owners will have to_pay this year or the <t year, but of the taxes that are to be 1 for the next twenty years in ve- puiring poorly laid pavements, re- placing inferior matevial and rebuilding sewers built in a slipshod way with inferior cement and brick. The responsibility for this important appointment will rest entirely upon Muyor Cushing. He has no right to nominate any man in expectancy that the council will refuse to confirm him, and he should not allow the Tammany club of conspirators or any combine to dictate whom he shall name for positions of trust. A KANSAS genius comes to the front with an infallible remedy for all the ills of the national body. He does not con- sider the ordinary inflation schemes worthy of scrious” thought and indi- reetly vebukes the prophet of Omaha for insinnating that the deplorable scavcity of coin is a scriptural infliction, possibly & punishmént for our national sins. The Konsan ignores all side issues, and with a Bellamy-liko inspira- tion strikes for the root of evil through a bill introduced in the sen- ate “by request.” The bill pro- vides for the organization of the grand army of labor, comprising all citizens of the rcpublic over twenty-one years of age, who shall be called to- gether by presidential proclamation., Thehoursof laborare unchangeably fixed at four for cach day for five days of the weelk, but at the end of éach six weeks of exhausting toil a vacation of two weeks is provided, without loss of salary. Abil- ity and capacity count for nothing. Every member of the grand arm receive four dollars a day, payable “in silkthreaded greenback paper money.” The patentee of this brilliant scheme lays particular stress on the clause that members of the grand army shall be volunteers in the public se vice, assigned by the president, and the term of service shall bo at the option of the volunteers, “‘and not, as herctofore, at the pleasure of some spoilsman.” It is barely possible that the wages and hours of labor might operate against recruiting members of the grand army, but the author appavently has suflicient confidence in the pat m of the people that a suflicient number could be induced to accept the terms, even if tho silk threads were intentionally omitted from the greenbacks.

THE prices at which durable paving ma- terial is offered this year give property owners no excuse for squandering their means on wofen blocks. Granite block isoffered at two and a quarter, sandstone at a fraction less than two dollars, while vitrified brick on a con- crete base can be had for less than the cost of wood last year., The acres of rapidly decaying cedar blocks show that the property owners who sacri- ficed durability for a saving in fivst cost will be compelled to replace them before the ten years allowed for paymonts have L. Inthe end they will pay out dollavs for the dimes saved. Cheap goods are dear at any price, THE record of bank clearings tells the old but never tiresome story of Omaha's steady advance as a monetary center, The first weelk in May rolls up the cheor- ing record of sixty six per cent advance over the corresponding week last year, The record is un index of the increasing volume of trade.

Evidently the | monopoly believes there are a few gulli- ble property owners left in the city, who ‘ can be gouged at the rate of two doll | and ninety-eight cents per yard, while urs the same matavial is laid in Washington for two dollss:and in Detroit for two dollars and a quartor. THE city's #tending in the financial world received’adother gratifying illus- tration in the nuinber of bids for short time paving honds, A premium of six dollars and soventy-eight cents on every one hundred dollars was offered by the best bidder, this materially reducing the interest rate. s Omaha bonds have been gradually reduced from six to four and a half pen cont, without diminishing the demand, and it is probable they would readily command a premium at four per cent, S—— An Eggs-igency of the Tariff.
