Sour grapes. i JupnGe TULEY'S letter to the Chicago Turners’ society is a forceful protest against the constant encroachments on tho rights and liberties of the people. It is a vigorous plea for the inalienable rights guaranteed by the constitution, which mock reformors and political zealots ave distorting for personal ends. the noise woman suffrage campaign in South Da- kota, outsiders were led to believe that every woman in the state wasout drum- ming recruits for the “glorious cause.” Frox and bustle of the Such is not the case. On the contrary nine-tenths of them are indifferent or opposed to the extension of the suffrage, At the recent school elections less than one hundred women were induced to vote in Sanborn county, the headquar- ters of the suffrage campaiguiers. THE steel rail combination has been doing some hard work to induco the sen- ate finance committes to allow the duty on rails to remain at the figures of the McKinley bill, but the committee ap- poars determined to adhere to the pro- posed reduction.

The temporature in Omaha during the past week has averaged as high as in any of those cities, but there has not been a single case of serious prostration here and only two or three persons have been temporarily overcome by the heat. There has been a similar experience in the heated periods of past yours, and it is an evidenco of the su- poriority of the elimatic conditions heve, which it may again be remavked are ex- celled hardly anywhere on the continent. THE vaval appropriation bill in the hands of the president provides for the construction of three line-of-battle ships of the first cluss, This is a now departure 1n our naval poliey, and it is ono of ques- tionable wisdom, since the building of theso vessels will mean the construetion in due time of a good many more, w view to raising the Amorican navy to an equality with the great navies of the old world, The danger is that we shall thus enter upon a costly competition with European nations in the construction of battle ships, Adequate means for the protection of our iports 1s to be de- sived, but line-of-buttle ships ave not noeded for this purpose. Howoever, it is not doubted that the president will ap- prove the bill and perhaps the country can afford to pay a few millions for the prestige of having battle ships of the highest class, though undoubtedly there could be found more serviceable ways of spending the woney. ! the THE GUVERNMENT PINANCES. The flseal yoar of the government closed yestorday, and though {t will be soveral days befors the official state- ments will show the exact results of tronsury operations for the year, it is possible to approximate them pretty closely from the last figures prosente For eloven months of the yenr the ro ceipts of tho treasury exceeded those of the previous year by nearly nine million dollars, and these figures have probably not been materially changed by the June busi- ness. There was a gain in customs dur- ing the year which was about offset by the 1oss in miscellaneous recoipts, while the increase in internal revenue was over ten million dollars, pointiug to an average increase of eight per cent or more in consumptson of taxed articles, an indication of general prosperity not generally taken into account, but quite a8 relinble as many other: In his annual veport Secretary Win- dom estimated that customs receipts would fall short nearly four million dol- lars, wherens there has been a slight increase, that internal revenue would in- crease million dollars, whereas it has inc sed more than double that amount, and that miscellancous receipts would decrease between two and three million dollars, whereas they huve fallen short somewhat less than this amount. On the whole a small decrease was ex- pected, but an increase of about ten mii- lion dollars has been realized, Thus it is shown that the treasury, keeping carefully within the mark, has not ex- posed itself to the criticism of basing financial recommendations upon extr agant estimates. As to expenditures the estimates were also nearly as ncour- ate, for an increase of eleven million dollars for the fiscal year was antici- pated from the appropriations made, whereas the actual increase has been much larger. But no allowance was in- cluded in the treasury imates for premiums on honds purchased as part of the cxpenditures, which for the year amounted to over threeo million dollar: Of the increase over sixteen million dol- lars was for pensions. In most depart- mentsof the government the expenditures were increased. With regard to the condition of the treasury, it was shown at the beginning of June, @ which the changes have fiv st been very great, to bo satis- factory, and the new fiscal year finds it amply provided for all immediate demands, This does not give assurance, however, that if all the extravagant proposals before congress are allowed it will long be able to main- n this condition, and there is cause for apprenension that before the current fiscal year closes the treasury will bo very hard prossed to meet the largely increased demands for pensions and other obligations assured and antici pated. The national treasury has had very smooth sailing during’ tho past year, but the outlook for the next year does not promiso that its opera 1l be free from difficulties and em! ments. OBJECT OF THE G. A lawyer in southern Nebraska tukes a rather novel view of the garnishee law of this state. Thislaw prohibits the transfer of claims against citizens to other states for the purpose of evading the garnishee laws of Nebraska. It was passed to protect “citizens from the fee sharks of Iowa, and was designed to stamp out an evil that affected not only viver towns, but the employes of a firm or corporation doing interstate busine Dobts contracted in Nebraska by citizens were under the old system, hawked among the justice shops of Towa, and the employes of inter- state railroads, whether living in Omaha, Lincoln or Fairbury, wore sub- jected to petfy persccutions and out- rageous costs, from which all other clusses were oxe Was it just to sub- ject one class of citizens of the state to the harassing annoyances of foreign state laws, and to tho loss of their po- sitions, while the employes of other than interstate companics were tected by the laws of Nebraska ? The law does not foster dishonest is equally absurd to assort that i imical to the interests of mer - They have the saume vights under the law to colleet their claims as™ they had before its passage. It simply prohibits them from purposely invoking the aid of other states to secure their claims, and renders them liable for the damages inflicted, Tim Bre s heartily in favor of any reasonable measure for the suppression of dead beats. Bub that result cannot bo attained by appealing to the laws of other states, and inflicting unjust pun- ishment on one class of workingmen. All must be treated ali Debts con- cted in Nebraska must bo settled by Nebraska laws, and if those laws are in- sufficient for the protection of mer- chants from the dishonest, the remedy lies with the legislature. It is not nee- essary to invoke the aid of neighboring states, pro- THE UNCONSIDERED CIRCULATION. Every intelligent business man knows that actual money i 1 factor in business transactions, by much the areater part of these bain od on through the medium of checks and drafts. The comptroller of the cur- vency has called upon the national banks for a statemant from each of the amount of drafts dvawn by it on national and other banks in Now York, Chicago nd St Louis, in other v ies, and on banks located olse- r ending June 30, e of id afor, it of the tran- wheve, during the 1800; also the ostimal ‘hange reseived d | He also calls for a statem sactions on July 1 which will give an exhibit of the.recaipts of each bank in wtificates and drafts, sof ex- tificates and gold and silvor coln and ¢ other kinds of money, checks, cortificates of doposit a change, clearing house ce exchange for clearing house, The value of information of this d is obvious, partieylarly in demonstrating small part coln and government notes play in the actual business of the country, a fact h can not be too fre- quently or earnestly improssed upon public attention. The popular more money would be far less genc itwere moro widely understood that checks and drafts, the unconsidered efr- culation, perform a vastly larger service in business transactions than coin and paper currency. Similar information to that now sought was ob- tained in 1881 by the comptroller of the currency, and the roports from nearly two thousand banks showed that of their total receipts of two hundred and elghty- four million dollars on June 30 of that year two hundred and seventy million was in checks and drafts, leaving but fourteen million in coin and pap money received, There is no reason to suppose that the business of the banks at present will show the ratio of cur- rency to checks and drafts to vary mate- rially from that of nine years ago, when the percentage of ensh in business trans- actions was less than six per cent, and that of checks, drafts and clearing house certificates over ninety-four per cent. The comptroller of the currency, in his letter to the banks, urges the import- ance of full and complete reports, in order that a fair comparison may be made between the conditions disclosed in 1881 and those now existing, and it is to be presumed that those institutions will see the expediency of complying with the request carefully and promptly. MUST BE STAMPED OUT. When James E. Boyd was mayor of Omaha the republicans had a bare ma- jority in the council, but from first to last they manfully opposed every effort to oust competent and honest republican officers to make place for democrats. How is it now? The republicans have two-thirds of the council, but seven of these republicans have from the outset banded themselves into a combine with the democrats and voted to displace republican officials whose records are unassailable by demoerats who are ut- terly incompetent and in some cases notoriously disreputable. Seven of these republicans, Chaffee, Davis, Wheeler, Shriver, Blumer, Olsen and McLearie, literally dictated the re- moval of Major Balcombe and voted to put into the responsible position of chair- man of the board of public works a man who scarcely can tell a cedar block from a loaf of pumpernickel bread. Quite apart from the outrage perpe- trated upon the taxpayers, these men by their action deserve to be branded as political renegades and traitors. Each and every one of them was elocted by republicans of all factions. They had the energetic support of THE BEE as well as that of the Republican. They were supported by the workers of the party and owe their positions to the party. Not content with being banded to- gether with democratic spoilsmen, these venegades have been plotting and con- spiving to control the party machinery in this county through an oath-bound ¢lub of political assassins, whose dastardly work last fall 1 fresh in the minds of all republicans as the most infamous picce of treachery that has ever been perpetrated in this state. But curses, like chickens, come home to roost, and the republicans of this county will pres- ently have an opportunity to repudiate and stamp out the Omaha Tammany braves, who ave consorting with the most rotten of democratic boodlers and expeet to capture and control the ma- chinery of both parties for mercenary ends. LOOK AHEAD. With the wranglings between the old school board and the new the taxpayers and patrons of the public schools will ave very little concern. It is at best a it for patronage. As a business proposition there is no doubt that the old members ave move competent to decide upon the qualifications of teachers than new mombers. If the precedent is ad- heved to from now on the new members of this year will enjoy the same advan- tage over the mew members of next year. The taxpayers and patrons of the pub- lic schools are, however, very deeply con- cerned in the salary list and prospective cost of runnning the public schools. Neither the old hoard nor the new should overlook the possibility of the adoption of the prohibition amendment and the consequent shortage of a quarter million in their revenue for 1891, It would be utterly impossible to raise that sum by an increased tax levy and the only alter- native would be to close part of our schools or cut down the salavies. Tr e unofficial report of the census of Council Bluffs is approximately cor- vect, it stamps tho -enumeration asa wretched piece of boteh work., The cen- sus of 1880 gave the city a population of cighteen thousand. According to the figures for 1890 the growth of the city in ten years has scavcely been four thou- sand. The figures aro manifestly false. The Council Bluffs of 1880 is but a small corner of the city today. It has grown and extended in all directions, and surely the population has kept pace with its material progress, The number of homes built in the city in ten year: not far from four thousand, and it is absurd to say that the popula- tion did not increase in proportion, If the figures are permitted to stand they will do the city an irveparable wrong. The influential people of the eity should de- mand a recount by competent men. RECENTLY a Newcastle, Wy spondent of the Denver News did THE Buk a great injustice. Speaking of ‘Licutenant Schwatka's proposed write- up of the Black Hills, he says: “The writo-up consisted of a half column in THE OMAIA BEE, of inaccurate matter concerning the Black Hills country.” In justice to this paper and for the bene- £it of patrons in the northwest wo make the statement that Licutenant Schwatka has never written a line for Tue B and has never been connected with Bei correspondence in the remotest degree. No correspondent has ever been sent into the Hills by this paper authorized to eollect one cent for the service, THE BEE has printed many columns of relinble inforn ion eoncern- ing the marvelous dewelopment of that region, but no money has boen asked or received in return It is a very close race between Chicago | and Philadelphia for position as the sec- ond city of the country in population, | with the estimates slightty “favorable to | bo former, The official returns will | probably sHéw Rhat the westorn city 1s ahead by nof o exceed fifty thousand.

Niobrara Pionee) The policy of Nebraska politics during the 70's was to boom the young men of the re- publican party for responsible positions. Judge Valenting, may be said to be the first of the successfgl, and the acknowledged leader of that clement. Following his suc- cess came Goyerpor Nance, who made a fair record, though Mo bold stand upon living issues was evér rpcorded. In those days the railroads and’corporations succecded pretty well in having their own way in Nebraska. Excepting Governovs Furnas and Guarber, Nobraska has not, had an exceutive in the full sonse of th term until Governor Thay- er's administration. i It has been a Nebraska rule not to give its executive more than two terms. A rule ought sometimes to be broken. If the gov- ernor proved a seamp there would be ade- mand for his impeachment. Having proved consorvative executive. without being a démagogue, the rule would be well broken if the stato convention aceepted him as the party’s standard bearer. It is stated at he is too old for a young state; that ho has not the “get up” nécessary to' bring the tate prominently before the world, The Pionoer asks what a_younger man _could do that Goveruor Thayer cannot? The record of most_young men who have been brought prominently before the state is that they have looked pretty closely after the young men first and cared very little_about the demands uppermost in the minds of the people. Ex- pericneo as a statesman has given Governor Thayer an insight into all the details of gov- ernment policy. He is a gentleman of the old school, a statesman bringing into the execu- tive chair its wisdom and dignity, and de- act, young soubrette fending the people's rights in 'a spirit of honest fairness. Viewing the past uncertaiutics, and looking upon the present agitation of men sceking power to overthrow what they claim is corrupt, it would scem wise to strengthen what good government we have by coutinuing Governor Thayer rather than risking the administra- tion to corporation tools or men unslkilled in public affairs. As pointed out in The Pioneer of last weel, look unfavorable to Chairman Rich: ards because of Congressman Dorsey's appar- ent determination to remain _in the field for renomination, thus leaving Fremont's favor- ite citizen out of tho question and pl Governor Thayer in position to again becomo the people’s choice, s DEFENDING IOWA COST MILLS. To the Editor of Tng Brz: The statement in your paper of yesterday that Judge Wake- ley had decided in favor of the validity of the “Omaha round house act! of last winter as incredible. Upon some minor point in the law, such for instance as the énactment that claims against laborers, servants and em- ployes could not be assigned, the learned judge may have decreed favorably to the en- actment, but the law is in such palpable vio- ltion of the constitution and bill of rights of Nebraska that it is amazing that any news- paver should defend it, (none do but the Omaha papers), but it is incredible that any seif-respecting court should accede in favor of the validity of the act if the constitutional question was fairly pres “Tho title to the B, which s chapter the laws of 15889, is as follows: “An act to provide for th tion of the carnings of labe other employes of corporations, fi individuals engaged in interstato busin 1tis not all laborers, servants or employes whose wages aro to be prote botter protec- S, vants and and nor is it all corporations, firms und_individ uals who employ labor that ure to have munity from the vexations ot garnishee pro- 1t is thegpecially favored laborer who J0d fortne to be employed by those ly fayored corporations, firms or in- dividuals who ave strong and rich enough to extend tl fons into other stat ouly thes s, ond to th favored purtios: s Ree extends its con- gratulations.

The attontion of every reader s dirocted to tho attractive offer made by this paper, as sot forth in another column. It embraces ono year's subscription to Tue Dity Bee, to- wethor with a complete sot of the American- izod Encyclopmdia Brittanica for &0. Such an offer was novor made by any newspaper, and the fact that we aro able to make it is a striking illustration of the wealth producing progross of the world In this wondrous age of electricity and steam, The cost of producing lia has considerably excecded The cost of producing Tne Bee ear reaches far up into tho scores of thousands. That two such works should be placed at the disposal of every reader at a price so small that the saving of baroly § cents daily for a singlo yoar will cover it, and on terms 80 casy as to involve no inconven- fences of economy—this surely is a triumph. What Tite Beg is, it is not nocessary to say Hore it is, spoaking for itself. Tho reador who fails to recognize its excollence as he pe- ruses it would hardiy gather belicf from any self-laudation, however justifiable. O What the Americanized Encyclopedia Brit- annica is, howovor,is a matter as to which in- formation is less generally diffused. The Encyelopedia Britannica is regarded by all students and literary men as the standard reference authority of the English spoaking world, Fur nearly one hundred and twenty years it has stood at the head of its poculiar class of litorature, employing on _its nine edi- tions the most celebrated writers of success- ive generations, and sparing no expense nec- ossary to securo the services of the foremost men in every department of human knowl- edge, essays, disortations and descriptions by such'men s Mac: Joffroy, Leigh Hunt, Faraday, Mill, Tendall, Huxiey, Clifford and Farrat aro fmboddod i its. piigos, malng it not only an encyclopedia of facts, but a most dollllnhtrul assortment of literary treasures as well, This is the work which forms the basis of the Americanized Encyclopwedia Britannica which is, as its name’ imports, the original Britannica remodeled, amended and, where necessary, enlarged to fit it to occupy in American'homes the place held by the orignal worl among the people of England, Articles on subjects peculiarly intercsting to Amer- fcans—such as _the histories and descriptions of American states and citics, accounts of mikitary operations on American soil, descrip- tions of peculiarly American industries and institutions—haye been eatirely rewritten and greatly enlarged, the space allotted to matters uninteresting except to Englishmen being correspondingly reduced. A most complete series of biographies of living persons—of whom no mention is mado_in the original work, its plan excluding notices of any but the dead—has been added, a number of new maps, including one of e state in the union, have been_ introduced, and the entire work hias_been corrected to bring it into line with the progress of history and science up to the present year. The net result is a compi lation that in interestand reliability surpasses the original Encyclopwdia Britanica as far as that monumental work surpasses all others of its kind., It may not be amiss to say here a fow words of one of the uses of a work like the Americanized Encycloprdia Britanica, cto which many of our readers, perhaps, give little thought. The high price at which tho Encyclopedia Britanica and its competitors have hitherto been offered have resulted in limiting th sale to literal men and com- paratively wealthy families, and the effect of this limitation has been that by the great mass of the American people an_encyclo- paedia is looked on as a work of reference and nothing more; something useful to students, but rarely necded by men of non-professional vocations. How mistaken this idea is any- body will instantly sce who will take the trouble to glance through a volume of the Americanized Encyclopmdia o Britanica, From end to end abounds in_ read: ing of the most delightful kind—biogra- phy, travels, history, narratives of -ad- venturo, accounts of strange and dis- tant countries, descriptions of ‘inventious and machinery. There is hardly a page of it that will not liold the mind enchained. The influence of such a literary collection in a family is incaleulable. It aids the cducation of the young: it expands and strengthens the minds of older people; for profitablereading from onc of the greatest dangers of our day —the temptation offered by the thousands of cheap, trashy and corrupting books that deings our country ina perennial strear librar; mee, a collection of pure entertaining litoratur icle of education and a safeguard against v what we offer our readers.

LixcoLy, Neb,, Juno 80.—[Special to T Berk,]—A stranger named Wilson Teagarden was found terribly crushed boside tho Missouri Pacific track throo miles this sido of Eagle station this morning. He had been run over by the construction train shortly after midnight. His loft log was crushed be- ow the knee, his loft arm broken and ho had recoived futernal injuries besides. Ho lay in this condition for fivo hours when the engineer of tho passenger train discovered the ghastly and bloody mass and stopped to take the unfortunate man on board. The train arrived in Lincoln at §:35 a. m. and Teagarden was taken to St. beth's hospital. Although almost dead from agony and loss of blood he told who ho was and how theaccident oceurred. He is a home- less wanderer and was walking along the track. Shortly after miduight ho becamo weary and sat down on the rail to rest. Ho thinks that ho must have fallen asleep and then been run over by tho train as the noxt recolloction was ona of in- tense suffering and inability to move. He was put under the influenco of chloro- form at the hospital and his_crushed dog am- putated below tho knee. There are somo doubts of his recovery. Ho is a man of about forty and was poorly dressed when found. TRIED TO RUE TILE TRADE. Benjamin ', Klocherger and F\. J.
