John testified that the Tammany twenty-cight club, of which he is a member, is composed en- tirely of ropublican stalwarts. And precious stalwarts ave they to be sure.

Now that the bullionaires have cooled down they ave willing to accopt a coin- age bill which establishes a steady mar- ket for all the silver produced in the country and at the same time prevents the national treasury being made the dumping ground of the surplus silver of Mexico, South America and Gormany, T plate glass manufacturers are alusmed. Tho prospective loss of the in- creased tariff smuggled into the McKin- ley bill touches a vital spot in their pocketbooks, In view of the fact that their industry netted twelve por cent last year the domand forincreased protection is decidedly cheeky. . © THere are several luminous blood 8pots on the Mexican moon, and a revo- lution imponds, It is a dull, dreary season that does not develop o crop of domestic disturbance in the land of the greaser.

The latter ulternative they will avoid at uny saceifice of honor or princi- ple, for they know that overwhelming defeat awaits them at the polls, It may be expeeted, therefore, that the ministry will cling to power, with one foot in the grave, while there is a shadow of a chance of holding a wajority in the Lommous, CARR AR A IV ATE NS weeaew A e b s THE RATLROADS DEFIANT. J The interstate commerce commission | in its report to the scnato regarding on food products con- pre- transportation charge from the west to the distribution 1 that the ates on corn and oats from the river, and from stations in Kansas and Nebrnska west of the river, are excessive and should be reduced, Later the commission summoned the wostern railvonds to show cause why their grain rates should not be reduced to the figures named ng Missowri by the commission as a reasonable max- {mum charge and appointed July 8 for the hearing. the This implied a purpose on part of the commission to order the 8 reduced. The railroads will respond to the sum- mons with the intention, it is an- nounced, of contesting the right of the commission to order a reduction. At a meeting of prominent officials and lead- ing attorneys of the roads in Chicago on Tuesday it was decided to meke this issue, the roads taking the broad ground that the commission has no authority to interfere with trans- portation charges. The dispatch states that the corporation attorneys will base their action on the decision of the su- preme court in the Minnesota granger cases, but it is not quite clear how this can bo made toapply. Those casos in- volved the right of a state commission to arbitrarily determine what were reasonable charges, the supreme court deciding that the question of reasona- bleness was one to be deter- mined by judicial investigation. The principle involved that a logislature cannot delegate to acommission arbitrary authority which might be carried to the extent of prac- tically confiscating the property of a corporation, and that where there is an issue regarding the rensonableness of a e prescribed by o state commission a railroad has the right to have tho ques- tion judicially investigated and deter- mined. It is at least questionable whether this can be made to apply to the action of the commission created by alaw of congress and representing the au- thority of the national government. Tt is true that the interstate commerce act does not specifically confer upon the commission the power (o order a reduc- tion of rates, but such authority is cer- tainly implicd. i The result of the action of the rail- roads in this matter will be awaited with very great and general interest, for the question involved is obviously of the very highest importance. Tt will be the first direct is ue between the corpora- tions and the commission, and the result will have great significance. If the cor- porations are sustained the value of the commission, as the law now stands, will bo very matetivally impaired, while if they are defeatod there will be a very general demand for a readjustment of rates by the commissi A conflict of this kind was certain to come sooner or and the causo that has produced it is of such lavge and far-reaching im- nce a5 to make it a matter of na- tional interest. THE NEW CHAIRMAN, The appointment of Bivkhauser as chairman of the beard of public works will create no surpr Mayor Cushing has been a mere dummy in the hands of the council combine since his election. He has simply exccuted the orders of the conspirators and meckly played into their hands for the sake of having his appointments confirmod. Instead of being a guardian of the interests of the city, he is a mere catspaw to pull chest- nuts out of the fire for political jobbers and venal contractors, What else could have been expected? Cushing came into oflice mortgaged body and soul to the renegades and boodlers who founded the Tammany twonty-eight club, He «will continue the proparty of this precious gang of rogues until thoy are broken up by an outraged community. Mayor Cushing can no longer pose as asecond Grover Cleveland, who pro- claimed that a public office is a public trust. Starting out with eloud profes- sions of his purpose to apply business methods to the conduct of the affairs of this city, he has shown a shameful dis- regard of business methods in the most important appointment at his disposal, The chairman of the board of public works of a city like Omaha should be qualified by education and experienco to se the construction and mainte- of public wor! Mayor Cushing has filled that office with a man whose only trade has been trade in politics and speculation in real estato options, The yman of the board of public works should free bo a man from all obligations to contractors and above trading the influence of his position for political ends, Mayor Cushing has not only ignored these essen- tind quulifications, but he has chosen a man whose appointment has been dicta- tod by contractors, morcenary council- men, and political roustabouts. The mayor made this appointment with the full knowledge that Birkhauser will hold his office for three years unless removed for cause. We venture to s that in the history of American citios there is not o pavallel for such a delib- erato swerifios of ths public intecosts at the behest of public plunde FOR T DEPL It congress doos not take some action at the present session looking to the proservation of the forests on the public domain, the disclosures to be expected from the consus regarding the depletion of the timbor supply will perhaps induce legislation at the next sassion. The difficulty is that congrossmen seam ut- torly unable to realize the importance of this matter, and honee little attention has been paid to the factssubmittad from time to tima showing tho rapid destruc- tion of the forosts or to the recommenda- tions for its provention. The striking statistics of the ravages resulting from the reckless groed of lumbormen and the dovastation of forest fires have failed to duly impross the congressional mind with the aecessity of providing ade- quate safeguards ngainst the continu- ance of theso destructive agencies, and consequently the forests are still at their mercy. If this destruction is allowed to go on unchecked it cannot be many years before the lumber supply of the country is exhausted. Sowe recent statistics regarding the amount of lumber taken from Michigan, Minnesota and Wiseconsin ave interest- ing. It appears that iast yoar these throo states produced over eight billions suporficial foet of lumber and that the ocut of shingles during that year in tho same section was nearly five billion pieces. The census of 1830 estimated that there were standing in these states about eighty-four billion feet of lumber, and as the amount cut during the past ten yoars has been over seventy-four billion feet there is less than ten billion foot remaining, or but one year's stock on Land, Thus at farthest two more years will very likely witness the oxhaustion of the white pine forests of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. It is said that oqually as serious a con- dition of things exists among the spruce forests of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, while the supply of the same timber in the Adirondacks has been greatly veduced. An authority on for- ostry that there is no more timber in the South Atlantic and Gulf sections than will be required for homs use as soon as any material local - de- velopment shall take place, while on the Pacific coast tracts of good taber ave confined to special spots, for the pro- of which there is a demand from ign Those who havo counted on falling ba upon Canada may perhaps bs surprised to learn that the dominion is almost as badly off as is this country in the supply of merchant- able pine timber. Al th facts show the urgent need of provision, national and state, for preserving the forests that remain and for replenishing the rapidly failing suppl, TuE present congress ought not to ad- journ without providing for a system of cattle and meat inspection, untoss all ef- fort to enlarge our foreign trade in cat- tle and meuts is to be abandoned. Oppo- sition to-a national law for this purpose is confined, so far as we have observed, to eastern shippers, who for reasons not at all conclusive contend that such a law would accomplish no good, but would op- erate to the disadvantage of their inter- ests. The fact that these shippers ap- pear to be fully satisfied with the present condition of affairs simply evidence that they enjoy peculiar advantages not PO ed by others in the same line, and is not to be seriously considered in face of tho estimate, probably not at all ex- aggerated, that our foreign trade in cattlo and meats could be increased in value fifty million dollars a yearif we had a judicious national inspection law officiently enforced. The secretary of agriculture has strongly rccommended such a law as absolutely necessary to successful negotiations with Buvo- pean countries for the removal or modi- fication of the restrictions upon the im- portation of American cattle and meat produets, and our ministers to France and Germany have expressed a like opinion. It is largely our own fault that these restrictions exist, and the only remedy is to be found in a system of thorough national inspection which will deprive foreign governments of all ex cuse for claiming that our meats cannot safoly be used. Now that Charley Brown has come to the front as sponsor and bondsman for Birkhauser, and indirectly has played into the hands of the rottencst combine that has ever had a grip upon Omaha taxpayers, his boom for congress will be ily seconded by the Tammany stal- ord with the eternal It is in ac fitness of thing: THE work of smothering the jail job goes on morrily.

It is understood that in the diplomatic in- tercourse between our country and Great Britain the representative of the latter has invariably used the expression, *her majesty expects, in stating his proposition, The formula of our state department has been, he president ventures to hope.” The pres- ent administration has violated this prece- dont. $Mr. Blaine writes, “the president e; pects.” The chauge in the diplom language may perhaps produce a change in the attitude of the British government toward ours, that by and by such expressions as these of the English will cease, Democratic 50 -— rd for Thayer.

Chamberlain then took the stand and mado a long speech urging unity of action, and above all a union labor party. He declared that the Knights of Labor are children of the union labor party, that they had just got their oyes opon and now they wanted ‘to run tho thing. Ex-Governor Butler then made a speech doclaring that a man who becomes a Knight of Laboror an alliance man and declares that he is cither a democrat or a republican at tho same time is either half baked or not yet dry bohind the cars. “If," said he, *‘you put a lot of republicans on your state ticket I will L;llm tho stump and” vote against the dead- Mr. O.

The Nebraska Wesleyan university closed its first year today, and the graduating exer- cises that took placo this forenoon were held in the prescnce of an assembly that taxed the capacity of the building to its fullest e tent. The attendance during the year has been 166, which is a tlattering begin- ning. Tonight Chancellor Creighton held a levee at his residenco adjoining the campus, This afternoon a meeting of the board of trustees was held. One question that re- ceived attention from the board was the ex- pediency of establishing a militavy depar ment.
