Meantime the supply has fallen steadily behind the demand, notyithstanding the fact that hundreds of thou- sunds of the people have been com- pelled, owing 1o high prices, to greatly reduco their consumption of meat. This isthe situation at present,and in view of the fact that the chancellor has with- drawn the elict excluding Austrian pork, leaving only Russiv and the United States subject in this particular to the unjust restriction, Minister Phelps regards the outlook as encour- aging, It would secn cvident that congross mide no mistike, when providing for a national inspaction of meats in- tended for export, in also mak- ing provision for a policy of re- tiliation applicable Lo the pro- ducts of countries maintaining rest tions against the importation of Ame ican meats, The opening of the French and German mavkets to our hog pro- ducts, which may be regarded s an eventof the not remote futire, would in- orease our exorts to the amount of per- hups fifty million dollaws amuvally. It is amatter, therefore, in which the west is very greatly intercsted, since the hene- fits tothe farmorsof this section would bo quite as great as would result from the opening of all the South American marlets to our farm produets. ———— LICENSI IN VERMONT, From the meagre reportsof the elec- tion in Veermont one significant fact may | be gleansd. The prohibition vote vir- tunlly petered out, while license made notable gains in all sections of the state, It will not be possible, however, to measure the extent of the popular up- heawal until the official count is made. Unider the peculiar clection 'methods of Vermont, every incorported village, town or city, regardless of population, is entitled {0 one representative in the lwerhouse of the legislatire. A city of ten, twenty or fifty thousand peoplo has no grealer representation than acommunity of twentyvoters. This un- ropublican system throws the balance of legislative power on the rural commu. nities, and gives the minority an unjust advantage. But this Puritanic method was necessury to holl Vermont in the rnksof prohibition states, for a vast majority of the voters ropeated pronounced against the law, but wer powerless to secure a majority of the legislature to earry out their will. The muin issuc in the election was the repeal of the prohibition law wd the substitution of license and regulation. To insure suc cess, the sdvostes of licenso in two hundred and forty-three towns, ench having a represontative, and the returns indicate the elostion of a large number of domocratic ant republican supporters of license, The fact is sig- must win nificant. Peohibition has had thirty- cight years” trial in the Giroen Mountain state and hus proven a dismal farce, It has ot only failed to suppress the teaf- fie, but has been the means of aiflicting the state with unrestrainel dram shops, provoked contempt for law and fostered ypoerisy and lowered the standard of public morals, The eflorts of the pooplo of Vermont to diseard prohibition and free whisky and placs the liquor traffie undor Legal rogulition is o timely lesson to the people of Nebraska, OUR GALVANIZED The World-I1e parade bofors its readers o setof vesolus tions imspired and bogottn at its in- stance, by some eatspuws who call them of Tabor, Our enter prising contemporary is welcome to all ital it can mako for itself out of anything THE Bre may siy about Pow- derly, Powers, or any other leador of the Knights or the Alliance.

The addition of twenty-five men to the fire department means, of course, a permanent inerease of twent, five thousand dollars a yeur i penses of that department, '] wages of the men may not average a thousand dollars & year each, but the incidentals will more than muke up the difference, The truth may a3 well be told now as sime other time. One of the prime cuses of the depression in our real estate market is high taxes, When capitulistsare told that city taxes alone are forty-one mills they naturally take t0thowools. Our charter-makers have giventhe council o very liberal leoway { | | and every inch is taken, whother we need it or not. The re- sult is that the levy for the police and fire fund which under the charter may run as high as five mills for liccand five mills for fire has been assessed to its full extent. We now spend one hundred thousand dollars for policeand it is proposed to spend the whole hundred thousand dollars which the council has levied this year for an inereused fire department. On the top of this, we have afour mill yater tax which means that our fire protection will cost us one hundred and eighty thousund dollars for this year. When the waterworks w os tablishe@ we wero assurel that they would give wus amplo fire pro- tection in any part of the dty and that tha oxpnse of waintaining the fire department would be nominal, But we now have one hundred and clghty thousand dollars a year saddled upon us, or about one dollar and twenty cents for every man, woman and child in | the city.

The silver question is one which is not only agitating the people of this coun- but also the legislators of the various Buropean states. Mr. Hortonin a colleetion of monographs upon diffor- ent phases of the subject, presents the foreign aspect of the bimetallic move- ment. He traces the successive steps in the demonetization of silver from the action of the conference in 1867 through the legislution of Austria, Germany, the Latin countries and the United States upon the subject, dewn to the recom- ndations of the pan-American con- s for an international monetary union, The movement in England for restoration of sllveron a parity with gold and the reportof the royal com- mission, seems to Mr, Horton to show marked progressin a gradual change of opinion among the British people. To him the prospect is s0 encouraging that he predicts the restoration of silver toa legal equality with gold, provided only thatthose who favor the project lend their support to the hovement. - Bismarck Talks of War, Loxvoy, Sept. 4.—[Speciadl Cablegram to TieBre] —Prince Bismarck, while recely- ing a deputation of Kissingen veterans, said the fnventions for making warfare were be- oming more and mom murderous. demnity could compensite for the misery and uscd by the new mothods of * war- oo, happily, everyone thought well before beginniug awvar.
