The enormous increase in appropriations threatens to not only wipe out the sur- plus, but to create a deficit. Tite actual defieit of Maryland’s treas- ury foots up one hundred and thivty-two thousand four hundred and one dollars. With charming democratic generosity the defaultor used the monoy to cancel political debts contracted in running for congross, and thus made himself solid with the party leader: Tie furniture trust, ostensibly organ- ized for the purpose of concentrating capital, reducing expenses and giving the public the benefits of economical management, has decided to advance prices “suflicient to meet the increased cost of materials.” It is the same old story. STATISTICS of the sale of beer in the United States for the year ending April 80, furnish instructive lessons on the folly of prohibition. The figures show that Towa with prohibition consumed more beer than either Texas, Georgia, Tennessee or Virginia, while Kansas slaked its thirst with a quantity surpas: ing four high licenso states. Tne lowa eviction brigade suffered a decisive repulse in the courts recently. The test case from O'Brien county, in- volving soveral thousand acres of land, was decided in favor of the occupants, the court declaring that the farmers had both a legal and equitable title, and that if the evictors possessed any rights thoy were barred by the stutute of limits tion, The vesult is a gratifying victory over mercenary claim jumpers, TuE returns of the first month of high license in Baltimore demonstrate the suporiority of legal rogulation over pro- hibition and outlawry.

If the bill bocomos & law it will go far toward overthrowing Mormon domination in the political affairs of the tervitory, By the torms of the bill the present legislative districts are abolished and the power of reapportionment conferred on the gov- ernor, tervitorial secretary and board of commissi %, In addition these ofti- aro authorized to fill the various subordinato offices, from territorial auditor down to assessors. It also pro- vides for a new registration of voters under oxisting laws, which materially limits the exercise of the franchise by Mormons. The objeot of the measure is to destroy the power of the church in politics. With complete control of the olection machinery, the apportionment of legislative districts, coupled with the steady growth of the Gentile population, the doom of the Mormon church as & po- \itical machine is virtually sealed. revenue creased cors TO MOVE IN THE WEST. A New k paper announces that “the Hon. Grover Cleveland will soon go to Wisconsin as the guest of the Hon, s The announcement is also made that the Hon. David Bennett Hill will attend the ceremonies of un- voiling o statue of ex-Vice President Hendricks in Indianapolis on July 1. This is in pursuance of an engagement made by Governor Hill a year ago, and it s probable it will be made the excuse for a more extended visit to the west. It is under- stood that the governor is seriously con- sldering such a trip, and doubtless . not together us a matter of pleasure and So far as his visit to Indi- ana i3 concerned it is altogether proba- ble that he will employ the opportunity in making such alliances us he can for the next presidential contest. It is said that the Hill democrats in New York have already decided upon the presidential ticket Hill and and unquestion- ably the ex-governor of Indiana will be found in full and hearty sympathy with this arangement. Th is no good sason why Mr. Gray should feel any in- terest in the political fortunes of Grover Cleveland. When the last democratic convention met Gray, who was then gov- ernor of Indiana, was more talked of than any other man in the country for the second place on the ticket, and it is not to be doubted would have received the nomination but for the inter- ference of Mr. Cleveland. The demo- crats in Indiana who do not like Mr. Gray succeeded in convincing Cleveland that it would be unsafe to nominate him and he was shelved for Thurman, conse quently the ex-governor of Indiana can- not be presumed to have any great love for the ex-president and doubtless will very readily make a tie-up with Gov- ernor Hill. The visit of these democratic leaders and presidential aspirants to the west will be interesting and perhaps instruc- tive. They are the two men who just now occupy the largest space in demo- cratic attention, and it will be worth while to observe and make compurison of the interest and enthusiasm the, arouse in the democracy of the west. The ex-president will have some ad- vantage should he be accompanied by his chavming and deservedly popular wife, as undoubtedly he will be, but it will not be difficult in making a proper allowance for this in esti- mating the relative popularity of these leaders as shown by the demonstrations accorded them. Tt will be wise on the part of both of them to visit the west. Democracy in this section is in need of something to encournge and stimulate it, and besides there is developing through- out the west a ling that it is time to look elsewhere than to New York for presidential timber. - Ideas grow very rapidly in this section, and if the New York candidates do not make some at- tempt to counteract the appeal of our Denver contemporary, the Rocky Mount- ain News, to the democracy to give the west a chance at the presidential office, they may find some western man very much in their way when the contest for the prize comes up in 1892, 00 as MAYOR CUSHING'S VETOES. Mayor Cushing is entitled to the thanks of every taxpayer of Omaha for his recent vetoes of ordinances and ap- propriations that are clearly in violation of the charter, And it is to be hoped that the mayor will continue to veto overy contract and every appropriation that would create an overlap or cause o deficiency in the funds set apart for specific purposes. The fact that the mayor’s vetoes have been overridden by the council combine is no discredit to the mayor. He can much better afford to bo snubbed in that than to g0 on record us a co-conspirator against the taxpayers. At the very worst he may have to incur the displeasure of men whom the people will repudiate next fall if they are not brought toa halt by the courts before the expiration of their term: TRADE RETALIATION. It is quite possible that instend of the commerce of the United States with other nations being enlarged, so far as our own products, both of the farm and factory, ave concerned, it will materially decline in the event of the adoption of the fiscal policy now proposed. This country docs not enjoy a monopoly of tarifls, and if it pevsists in making the policy of protection so rigid as to rende the American market no longer advan- tageously accessible to forcign producers and manufacturers, it must he expected that they will effectively appeal to their governments for the application of alike policy to American products Already the retaliatory spirit is being manifested, with only the promise of higher tariff duties to incitoit. To what xtent may it not go in case that promise is carried into effect? France has adopted prohibitory duties on corn, Mexico said to be contemplating an export duty on silver-lead ore and other legislation which will show the displeasure of that government with the proposal to tax the most important of Mexican products, and there are from other quarters premoni- tory intimations of what may be expected should the United States adopt the pol- icy of the taviff bill now under consid- n by the senate. Itisnot to supposed that the countrics of Eurc and South Ameriea, with this country would be unfavorably affected by our proposed policy, will make no effort at f-defense in the event of the adoption of that policy. We ave talking of negotiations for the removal of the restrictions imposed by European governments upon the importation of American cattle and meats, What response must we reason- ably expect if we adopt a course radi- cally hostile to the interests of those countries ¥ We have professed a desire to cultivate larger and more intimate trade relations with other Ame countries and called a conference of their representatives with this end in view; but in the face of this we pro- pose a policy of exclusion from our markets of the most valu- able products of some of those countries, They not blind to this, as the comments of some of their papers show, and it is not to be doubted #hnt they will find a way to resent what be whose present trade are “their they must regard as a narrow and selfish policy on our part. Thus instead of encouraging an ex- tension of our trade relatiohs with other countries the tendency of our policy, as now proposed, must be to bring about a mutual crippling of trade. It was to no purpose that we Invited a conforence of American nations if such a poliey 1s to prevail, nor noed we seriously trouble ourselves over the question of creating a merchant marine or providing any other fucilities of commereial intercourse be- twoen nations, such ns were recom- mended by the Pan-American confer- ence. A tariff on the MecKinley plan would remove all demand for these aids to an enlarged commer ————— 1E secretary of the treasury has lled the attention of congress to u fla- grant case of diserimination against the United States on the part of Canada in the matter of the importation of tea, coffee and coin. It appears that in the Canadian customs tariff, coin, coffec and tea are on the frew list exeept when com- ing from the United States, in which ‘o there are made dutiable, and this Ipable diserimination, in the opinion of the secretary of the treasury, calls for vetaliation on the part of the United States at once, there being no discrimi- nation against Canada in the matter of these articles, as they are all on the free list. The Canadian tariff was framed with reference to discriminating ae much as possible against the United States, and this very stupid policy has been far more harmful to Canada than to this country. But whether it is neces- sary for us to follow a bad example is a question. THe financial situation remains about it has been. There is a fair demand for currency and rates ave steady at ight per cent, while deposits are ac- cumulating. General trade grows some- what languid with the continued warm weather and the approach of the mid- summer holidays, but jobbers still ro- port orvders liberal, both by mail and from salesmen on the road. Collections continue pretty good, and perhaps at no time in three years has thero been heard so little complaint in this respect as now. In produce commission quarters trade is reported brisk and the market well supplied. Attention is being con- centrated on the canned goods mavket, and packers ave placing the new crop of vegelables and fruits. Sugar is un- changed. Coffee is weaker, and the bears claim that prices must go lower. THE deeper the methods of the council combine are probed, the more evident it becomes that the affuirs of the city are manipulated and decided in the secret meeting places of the gang. If the mem- bers were honestly working for the in- terests of the city, why ave certain coun- cilmen ignored in the deliberations of committees? Why are the men outside the combine refused access to papers re- ferred to committees of which they are members, their wishes spurned and their assistance crefused? The reason is not difficult to find. The gang could not trust their schemes tooutsiders, All re- ports ave cocked and primed in the local Tammany hall and rushed through the council regardless of consequences, CENSUS SUPERINTENDENT COOKE gives assurances that the enumeration in this city will equal if not exceed the most sanguine expectations. This iy very encouraging, but our citizens must continue to assist the enumerators in their task. Not only should known ab- sentees be recorded, but hundreds are liable to be omitted owing to the inabil- ity of enumerators to meet themat office, workshop or home, Ivery citizen hav- ing knowledge of such omissions should immediately notify the local office. The time is short and prompt action is neces- sary. THe Towa fee sharks are working the old game. They virtually defy the Ne- braska law and harass employes of in- terstato railroads with garnishments re- gardless of the ability of the debtor to pay the claims. This method of forcing collections frequently cause the discharge of men who have families to support, and it is to be hoped that the result of the test case will be a warning to the Nebraska contingent of the Towa cost mills that a state law cannot be violated with im- punity. THE frequent assaults upon citizens by the poundmaster’s gang calls for the vigorous prosecution of the assailants, peradoes clothed with brief author- ity should be made to feel that the peo- plo have some rights which they must respoct. There is no excuse for turning loose on the public a gang of toughs armed with clubs and revolvers, whose conception of duty is limited to gather- ing the largest possible amount of fees for the poundmaster, rogardless of law or property vights.

UL ilipasnine OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. There can be but fow intelligent and. patri- otic Germans who do not regard as an out- rage on their country the summary relegation | of Prince Bismarck to private lifc at the age of soventy, when he has before him in all likelihood many years of energy and useful- ness, History will condemn William IL. for o blunder which in statecraft assumes tho dumensions of a crime—the blunder of de- priving Germany of a prime minister whoso abilities and services outweigh those of all the Hohenzollerns put together, with tho possible exception of Frederick the Great, who, it is well to recollect, left no heirs of his body. From this point of view tho his- torian will place the present German em- peror below Louis XIIL, who suffered Riche- licu to govern F'rance to his last hour, and far betow Louis XIV., who, impatient as -ho was to rulo and conscious of his ca- pacity to do so, would not lift a finger to disturb the aged Cardinal Mazarin, who had watched faithfully over the interests of the dynasty and of the country during tho king's minority. The services of Richelieu and Mazavin to the Bourbons wore insig- nificant compared to those for which the Hohenzollerns are indebted to Bismarck. When the latter entered upon his official career Prussia was a parasito of Austria and her representative was the butt of the Frank- fort diet. In every step of her amazing ele- vation to the leadership of Germany and the hegemony of Europe tho hand of Bismarck may be traced. Common docency should have prompted the beneficiavy of such tre- mendous exploits to leave tho reins of power in tho hands of his benefactor. That, on the contrary, he seized the first pretext for dis- sing the creator of united Germany and alter of the Holienzollerns should and ulti- mately will make William IL the target of universal scorn, * Accustomed as we are to regard Spain as one of the most reactionary countries of the globe, a feeling of surprise will certainly be created by the announcement that nowhere in Europe has labor legislation made more rapid progress than in the dominion of King Alfonso XIII. Notcontent with substituting universal suffrage for the comparatively re- stricted franchise which has been in force until recently, the government has drawn up and submitted to: the national legislature at Madrid a series of laws for the benefit of the working classes that are far in advance of the labor legislation cnacted clsewhere in Eu- rope. Thesevere restrictions with regard to the labor of women and children, and the in- surance of the working clusses, on the Ger- man plan, against accident, sickuess and old age, coustitute only a division of the measures in question, which further provide for the establisnment of a legal workday of eight hours, for the transport free of charge by rail of bona fide laboring mon in search of employment, and for the organization in each town, village, and commune of a special “junta’ or municipal board charged with the care of the interesks of the working classes, and with their protection against tyranny or oppression on the pavt of the masters. The bill, which is of acomprehensive nature, has been referred by the cortes to a parliamen- tary committee prosided over by the former foreign minister, Senor Moret y Prendergost, who is one of the most intimate friends and trusted lieutenants of Premicr Sagasta. The policy of disarmament if generally fol- lowed in South America would open the way fora marked advance in political govern- ment. With constitutions modeled aftor that of the United States the Spanish- American_republics are not self-governed but are ruled cither by powerful familics, political cabals, or military dictators. The son of the capital practically controls elections and tho forees of public opinion are not organized. So long as the armies are in oxistenco the progress of essentlal demo- cratic government will ba retarded. The rotiring prosident with tho support of the army practically nominates and sccures the eloction of his successor. Lot the military forces bo disbanded and popular elections will be fntroduced with the needed restraints of self-government. and enlightened public opinion. Not ouly would disarmament aid powerfully tho arbitration movement in averting the outbreak of war, but it would also involve radical political reforms in Spanish and Portuguese America, The United States has a magnificont opportunity for excrting its influence with manding force on the side of arbitration thoreby promote the highest ends of civilizu- tion. The proposals of the pan-Amer congress, which have been so cnergetically supported by the Republic of Brazil, ought to be carried into effect with equal heartiness and vigor by tho administration with the sanction of congress. The date of Bismarck’s visit to England has not been definitely fixed. When he reaches the British shoves it will bo time to expect some interesting developments. The Caprivi government, having borne-as long as it could the annoyances of insulting refiections ou the emperor contained in reputed intervieys with Bismarck, has issued a circular letter to the foreign representatives informing them that the utterances of Bismarck are merely those of a private person. It is possible thut the wisdom of this moye may be open to question ; but its results are protty certain. If Bi marck has really miide, or at any rate tacitly fathered, such remarks when his utterances necessarily bora kind of semi-oficial charac- ter, ho is not likdly to restrain his tongue when the goverpment has officially declaved that no such inteppretation should bo attache to his words, Tho ono vestraining Influenc which remained. has been removed, and in England the world “will expect to hear Bis warck talk, And whatever also may be true of this singular episode, it is at least certain that Bismarck iy thoroughly embittered with bis situation and nurses an abundant supply of contempt and hatred for his sovercign, prestnt, Brazil is under military government, and‘the form of its future politi cal organization| & by no means appavent The suber indepekilent press distrusts the pretensions of political leaders in favor of o foderation of states and points to the absence” of any serious efforts to orgauize states pre- paratory to federating them into a union, ver- tinently asking how a federation can be effected “with nothing to federate.”! Com- plaint is made that, in iustances whero local action in that direction has been taken, such attempts have been mysteriously supprossed.

That this enormous undertaking has been contemplated by Russia and work actually begun, conveys an idea of the work civilizing forces are doing in the Asiatic continent. A road al- ready runs from St. Potersburg, by way of Moscow, to Samara on_the eastern bank of the Volga river, At the latter city, or town, is the only iron bridge across this great waterway, and from there to Ufa, a distance of 802 miles east, the road has been built, It is now proposed to continue the line across beriato Viadistock, on the Japan sea, a distance of 6,600 miles from St Petevsburg. When it is rocollected that this is more than twice the length of a line from New York city to San Francisco some couception of its magnitude may be formed. Should this undertaking be carried out it will be an important step in the direction of revolutionizing the chavacter of the Russian government, Wherever the raflroad pene- trates the enlightening, humanizing influ- ences of modern civilization ave sure to fol- low. At once much of the horror which at- tends the banishment of prisoners to Siberia would disappear. The accounts which reach the western world have always ropresented the overland journey to which exiled prison- ers were condemned as responsible for much of their suffering and distress, With rail- road transportation to the remote provin ces a great deal of this would necessarity beabol ished. its ox- e While America is keenly interested in Columbian exposition, Spain and Ital hibit hardly less interest in plans to celebrate the memory of the great discoverer. At Genoa a great festival will be held and a large sum of money has been appropriated for monuments to Garibaldi and the duke of Gal- liera to be unveiled on the occasion. An opera by eFranchetti is to be produced, founded on incidents in the life of Columbus, and a geographical and historical congress will re- vive the story of the great discovery. At the same time that Italy is honoring the memory of Columbus the event will be splendidly cel- ebrated throughout Spain. Tho nation of Columbns’ birth and the nation that encour- aged his great enterprise are ones that may almost as appropriately as America colebrate the quadri-centennial of his great discovery. Their demonstrations will be afine prelude to the mightier celebration which will follow in the United States and add to the interest in that great incident. W Despite the very strict control which the censor’s burcau exercises overthe press in Russsia, the eduncational development of the people is advancing surprisingly. The peri- odical publications are multiplying in the large ities, and tho number of books printed is There aro at present fourteen printing offices in Odessa. The number of books printed by them has doubled, and the number of copies hus trebled since 1883. Next to Odessa, Kazan appears as a centro of literary activity. fAImost every ordinary city has o daily paper of its own, and weeklies and_monthlies ave published in towns of less significance. The Imperial Technical society, in rendering an account of these facts, ignores the large civeulation of foroign books oin Russia. French, German and English publications are much read by the educated subjects of the czar, and more books and periodicals are clandestinely im- ported from foreign countries than the censor's bureau, with all its might and vigi- lance, is aware of. ey ABOUT MEN., the United Field will Justice Stephen J.

His remark that a callus on the palm confers no better claim to fair treatment than a furrow in the forohead and an aching in the brain is some- thing that will live.

Following our guide we entered the ' 16-foot wide and 7-fool 4 inches high tuunel, of the Jumbo mine that is now producing 1,000 tons of coal daily. That was discovered in August 1889, Through the tunnel, drifts and_cross- cuts, we thoroughly examined this gigantic deposit that will average at a low. estimate, cight feet in thickness, This coal according to Prof. Hemingwiy's geological i vestigation, was _ formed during jura triassic age, this circumstance speaks volumes ' in favor of its comme: value. Most of the discovered coal beds the eastern slope of the Rocky mountains.and even westward through Washington, Van- couvor Island, and extending through the Canadiun_ Northwest Territory, and as far cast as Winnipeg, are found to be lignitic,and formed during the rocent or cretaceous age. Those lignitic coal beds cannot, properly speaking, be termed bituminous, lacking as they do tho essential qualities that constituto an old “mineral” conl, The difference of time between the tr and_the eretacoous period can be meusured only by geological 1t would scem, howdver, by carcful ation that this immense coal deposit red in the general effect of the crup- tive forco of the Black Hills, followed by universal corosion, and_ thus tho coal “blos- som” was brought'to light in tho bottom of the decp canyons. Sueh are the qualitics of this immense deposit that it cantiot bo ex- hausted for at leust a contury, and possessing every quality that can be dosired in a first: cluss bituminous coal. Having shown Licu- tenant Schwalka the vast deposits of gold and silver ores of Bald mountain, Ruby basin, aud other deposits in Luwrence county bef our departure, and having satisficd b Deyond @ peradventure that the fluxes ne sury to reduce these ores existed plentifully in our midst, it only romained 10 show the dis- tinguished explover that the most potent factor of all for their reduction— coul and coke—was also here in absoluto in- exhaustible quantics. The mining is operated by the latest improved machincry and to such a dogree of magnitude that Prof. Homingway intends the coming year to mine as much coul as the wholo state ‘of Colorado did in 086, 1. ., 4,000 tons daily. Fourteen Jeftrey mining ‘machines and eight power Qrills (the latter Prof. Hemingway's own in- vention), arc in _operation propellod by com- pressed air from the gigantic plant that oper- ates the Jumboand the Antelope mines, lying immediately opposite to each other, the canon of Oil creck dividing them. A trestle 80 feet high connects the two mincs that are opor- ated conjointly by the powerful machinery of tho plant above roferred 1o, short descrip- tion of which might not bo out of place. The machiner 'y cous sts of ten 40-horse boilers, two compressing engines 250 and 150-horse power each, one 100-electric hovse power en- wine, two dynamos 60 and 40-horse power, the main stack or tower is 80 feet high and 9 feot in dimnctor in the clear. The tubes from the boiler rise to an elovution of 60 feet before intersceting with the tower, making a distance from tho boilers to tho to} of tower L0 feot. Most of the hmmense machinery was froighted in by mules from Alliance fore the 13, & M. was completed to Cambria. Underneath the coal chutes and trestle is a conl distibuter that distributes the coal evenly in the cars (the load underncath the trestl) in forty minutes. Three screons 18 ot long and 6 fect wide, each over the ifts the conl bofore enteriug the cars. A bitlminous Ramsey coal breaker 5 foot it diameter and 6 feot long, weighing fifteen tons, breaks the huge maskes of coal bofore ng the screons similar to the work ates _crusher in the Homestake donia mines with the exception that GO0 immenso te i, an - ad- junct of the crusher, breaks the coal ais it is forced down the chute at an anglo of twenty-seven degrees. It can brenk 2,000 tons in ten hours and is Prof. Hemingway's own invention, There is u yein of fine cf eight und a haif feet in thickness underlyini the coal deposit on the Antelope mountain and separated from the eoal deposit by anoth- er cight foot vein of silicious sandstone. Brick has been made frc this clay of such a superior quality that an cight_ineli spike wis laserted to the brick sud the furnace tive melted it but loft the brick intact. The con struction of 100 bee hive cole ovens has com- menced that will, when completed, produce 1,000 tons of coko per woek. A miwature foundry has been erected that is turning out {roy castings fron two pounds to oue ton und a nalf, ulso casting all the brass furnishings, bells, cte., for the immenso. machinery of the plant. A'system of waterworks is wider con struction and will be completed in sixty days that will furnish Cambrin and Newcasilc with o never failing supply of pure soft spring water, taken from a scries of springs at the crest of the mountain in the ¢ of the salt springs, syphoned in pipes cast at Crane Co.'s foundry at Reading, Pa., and takon a dis of thirteen miles at a cost of (00, In boring for oil a short, distance below New castle atural gas was struck the day after our arrival at a distance of 450 feet We wit nessed the bright flame shootng upa dis tance of six feot, Tho derrick is a Pennsyl vania one of the fargest pattern and has i ca pacity of sinking 5,000 feot from this dervick Is another natural gas well down about 300 fect, well tubed.
