IF CLEVELAND wants to be sure of his unpopularity in New York he should entor the lists ns a candidate for gover- nor against Jones-he-pays-th e-freight. bo T Italian diplomatic incident has passed out of the public mind, but 4,100 dagoes landed in New York on a single day lnst week. The Italian fears Judgo Lynch in Ameriea less than poverty and King Humbert in italy. Wi rye selling at famine prices and crop prospects discouraging it is not strange that the common people of Ger- many are bocoming menacingly anxious for a reduction of the tariffs of the om- pire upon breadstufls, Tue people of the north will not con- sent to the canonizing of Jeff Davis. All this talk of southern orators to the effect that time will prove the arch- traitor to have been a political saint useless. Tho facts of history can never be distorted into such an untruth. AND now a “member of parliament’” Insists that the bac it scandal s brought upon the prince and people be- cause that somewhat eccentric heir to the throne has consented to associate with woalthy persons not of royal blood. As proof that this is true the deplorable fact is announced that Mrs. Arthur Wil- 8on, tho bacearat hostess, is the daugh- ter of a postmaster. Too bad! BACCARAT can be played for larger stakes and with more bettors, but the classic cowboy game of “‘Blue Pete” with its four points is far more exciting and less humiliating to the bartender, Blue Pete introduced to the country houses of Great Britain would save Wales the trouble of carrying buccarat counters and the countrymen the losses they are likely to sustain in playing with that expert gambler and all-"round sport. The cowboy game is convivial in its incidents, but does not tond to bank- ruptey, and there is scarcely a possi- bilivy of cheating. It would elevate the morals of Tranbycroft and save the host- ess, guests and country a repetition of the Gordon-Cumming incident. THE Council Bluffs Nonpareil insists that the rocent enumeration of popula- tion is erroneous and it sustains the posi- tion admirably by comparison of the school with the national census. Accord- ing to its figures Council Bluffs hed at the date of the enumeration aearly thirty-eight thousand people and is sub- soquently the second city in lown. The enumerators reported but 21,474, placing our prosperous neighbor as sixth in the list instead of second. Omaha people who have watched tne growth of Council Bluffs in the last 10 yoars are satisfied more than 3,500 people were added to its inhabitants during that period in spite of tho consus returns to the contrary. The Nonpareil is right in standing by its estimate of 37,830 and all statements published to advertise the city should contend for second place among tho prosperous cities of the Hawkeye state. THE coursa of political events in Can- ada, in the near future, will have un- common Intorest for the poople of tho United States, and doubtless also for dnglish statesmen. The death of Sir John Macdonald removes the one man ‘who had the politieal tact to so admin- istor affuirs as to rotard the growth of a sentiment hostile to the condition of colonial dependence, and whoover his successor may be ho will find it ex- tremely difficult to continue on the lines pursued by the dead promier. There was & great re- spect for Macdonald’s ability which enabled him to exert influence greator than that of any other man, or perhaps half a dozen men, in the Domin- ion. The Canadian people were rather proud of his political skill and his aggressivo tharacter, while ho was their best example of sturdy loyalty. The conservative party has no leader who can quito fill his vlace, and. it will hardly be possible for it to hold 1ts strength against the liberal tendency among the Canadian people. an strong THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, DENYING THE NEW PARTY. The southern alliance organs Insist that no new party was created at Cin- cionati, The leading journal of this asd, the National Economist, recently made this declaration, observing that { the Cincinnati meeting “‘simply vided for education on the Ocala pl ation with the confer Fobrunry, 1802, convention to in- pro- form, for co-ope! ence to bo held in if ned ,to call a stitute the party in June, 1892 This organ of the alliance goes on to say that it is necessary that the fact that no party was created at Cincinnati be recognized and empha- sized, “because the partisan press of the south, where the conflict is now very bitter, will teem with falsehoods about the capture of the alliance by a lot of sorehead politicians,” Another organ says the southern alliance men in the Cincinnati convention did ull and every- thing in their power to prevent or post- pone the organization pf a new political party, and heartily commends them. “The southern allinn ays this paper, “‘are the backbone of the demo- ic party. If they can relief in the old party they greatly prefer do- ing s0, and will prove as loyal in the future.as in the past.” These utterances are commended the thoughtful consideration of western allinnce people who entertain the opinion that a new party was created at Cincinnati, and who contemplate giv- ing it their support. The members of the southern alliance, being loyal demo- , want no new party in their sec- +lon, howaver wiliing they may bo to encourago one in the north, where it would menace republican success. They propose that the south shall remain solidly democratic, and they will tolerate no departure which might change that political condition. The o ns threaten that in case the democratic party fails to recognize the demands of the farmers s8ar, men, "' secure to the arevolt may happen, but this is mean- ingless, The great majority of southern nee men would abandon the alliance > they would the democratic party. iance to the democracy is stronger them than their religion and as their devotion to family. all they recognize of duty of citizenship and all know of patriotism. In their view not to bo & demoerat is to merit social ostra- cism. 1t is not surprising that the southern demoeratic leaders feel no solicitude regarding the new party so far as their section is concerned. Their only concern will be with reference to the strength it may develop in repub- lican states. When the alliance men of these states fully understand the posi- tion of their southern brother, it is highly probable that the hopes of the democracy regarding the now party will befol Alleg with strong. embraces THE VOLUME OF CIRCULATION. The last monthly statement from the treasury department of the volume of irculation showed a decrease during May amounting to a little over twenty- five million dollars, But the circula- tion on June 1 was 73,000,000 greater than at the corresponding datelast year, and is given in the statement as being a little over one billion five hundred million dollars. The increase during the last 12 months has move than kept pace with the growth of population and business, and it is not casy to understand why .there should be a closeness in monoy, exceptas a lack of confidence induces caution on the part of capital, Calling the population of the country 64,000,000, the present circulation is about $23.44 per capita. The country has boen more prosperous than it is now with a smuller circulation for each in- habitant, Inan articlein a recent issue of the New York 7'vibune regarding cf culation in past times it was stated that at the time of the resumption of specio payments, January 1, 1870, the amount per capita was about $17, and it has never been as low at any time since. From 1870 to 1880 the circu- lation was nevor less than about $17 nor more than about $20 for each inhabitant. Prior to 1870 the actual per capita of circulation never exceeded 320, though the advocates of move currency eclaim that at ono time it reached $37, and in order to make this claim good they in- clude in the eireulation the seven-thirty notes, a part of which for a time served that purpose, but most of which were hoarded by the b and capital- ists for the high interest they paid. But even reckoning these notes as a part of the circulation ic did not reach, as the advocates of curreney inflation asscrt, $37 foreach inhabitant. The truth is that the circulation at present is larger per capita than it was atany time in the past, and as already remarked the country has been moro prosperous than it now is with less money for each inhabitant. The volume of cir- culation is not necessarily the measure of national prosperity. Just how much money the countryought to have for the proper transactlongof its business is a question on which intelligent opinion may widely differ, butall will agree that the amount should be vegulated by con- siderations of soundness and stability. The people who are demanding that the cirveulation shall be doubled by the issue of government promises to pay do not trouble thomselves about these very im- portant conditions. X THE AS MENT ROLLS. Every vitizen of Omuha who has given the suojoct intelligent thought knows that our whole assessment and valuation systew is vadically wrong, It is founded upon error and is rotten throughout. A city with $200,000,000 worth of property assessod at $20,000,000 goes before the world with a lie in its mouth. It is on the defonsive in all finuncial circles. The fiscal agents who market our bonds feel tho evil which we put upon our- selves when we vote a bonded indebted- ness equal to one-eighth of the valuation of all our property und then have the assu to claim that our credit is first cluss, We are placed at a decided disadvantage.in all the money centors of the country by our sighted- We can never satisfactorily prove our ussessment is ridiculously low and therefore our appurently high tax rate is really very much below what the tigures of other cities show theirs to be. This is not the only evil in our sys- tom, however, Corporations and in- 258 iks nco awn short ness, dividuals shirk their share of tho public burdens, Small property owners pay more than their just proportion of the taxes. imposed. [nstitutiens in Omahn rated in commercial at $300,000 pay taxes upon less than one-twentioth of that sum. The assessors will turn in their rolls to the county clerk today:. They become subject to public inspection 48 s00n as returned to the ‘county clerk. The rolls of every ward will contain glaring irrogularitios which ought to bo exposed. Now is the time for the peoplo to how they are imposed upon. Every ward should hold a public meet- ing and appoint a responsible committeo to invegtigate the work of its assessor. It may do no good now, but it will bo the nucleus around which public senti- ment can centor for reform next year THE BEE stands ready to perform its duty in this matter, Let the taxpayers perform theirs and we shall be able to it tax shirkers and correct other ovils of the present unconscionably bad system in time for the next assessment. circles see T0O REDEEM SOUTH CAROLINA. A number of prominent Mass sotts republicans met in Boston a days ago to consider missionary work in the south in the interest of the r lican party. It was decided that Carolina offers a favorable field for such political labor, and a fund was sub- seribed to be used there in disseminat- ing republican doctrines. There is an organization of republicans in that state, but it scems to exist simply for office- holding puvposes. [t exerts no influ- ence, and is only heard of in conncetion with the distribution of federal patron- age. No republican state ticket has been nominated in South Carolina for many vears, and practically there is no repub- lican party in that state. The encouragement for the started in Massachusetts is found in revolt which vesulted in the defeat the democracy in South Carolina last year, and in the fact that there has recently been organized in that state a number of republican ciubs which have formed a state league. Men hitherto active and prominent democrats aro now identified with this repub- lican league, and it is said that the ccessions to it of former democ have been so num that democratic success in Carolina is longer a tainty. In these circumstances it is be lieved that if thorough work 18 done the ublicans may bo ablo to carry a rity of the congressional distric fail to elect state officers. Certainly the conditions appear rather more favorable for the vepublicans than they have been for many years, and it is undoubtedly wise to put forth every possible effort to secure the ad- vantages which the situation offers, but it is difficult to reposo much faith in any promise of republican success in South Carolina. The “‘inde- pendents” who routed the democracy in the last state contest ave still democrats at heart and if they thought there was serious danger of the state being carried by the republicans they would not hesi- tate to renew their oid allegiance. No harm will be done by the missionary work which the Massachusetts repub- licans propose, but that any great good will come of it is questionable. movement the of srous uth no cer- re THE Pottawattamio county republican convention meets on the 10th inst. at ‘Walnut, Ia. The delegates to that con- vention have been chosen. Omah should send a delegation of citizens to Councll Bluffs to interview these dele- gates and request them to secure the endorsement of the convention for Omaha as the place in which to hold the national republican convention. A little judicious effort on the part of this city now will help greatly at Cedar Rapids on the Ist proximo, when the state convention meets. Council Bluffs is friendly. The Towa republicans are friendly and the Iowa state convention will cheerfully fire the first gun for Omaha. Will one of the Omaha organizations for the gen- eral good of the city take up the matter and follow it to a successful issue? As has repeatedly been remarked Omaha will lose nothing by making an effort for the natio convention. ASSUMING that the two physicians of the Omaha medical institute now incar- eerated in the county jail are guitty as charged by the coroner’s jury, the indig- nity of placing them in irons is inexcus- able. They are not desperate charac- ters and could not if they bad wished have escaped the officers going from the jail to the police court. There isa ma- lignity in the prosecution of these men which is almost certain to react in their behalf. Until they are shown to be guilty they should be treated with the ordinary courtesy and civility accorded accused prisoners, MAJOR FURAY of the board of public works, in his official place openly charges the sidewalk inspector with dereliction of duty, and an investigation has been ovdered. The sidewalk in- spector will take notice that the contro- versy between him and the Cuming stroet gentleman cannot be settled in the newspapers. The material laid in sidewalks and the bills passed by the in- spector ave the only proper tests of the truth or falsity of the'statements.
