No man in Amer- ica is more in need of an honest trade. one GENERAL SCHOFIELD'S judgment has been vindicated not only in the selection of a charming wife, but in including Omaha in his wedding tour. A honey- moon which misses Omaha loses no small part of its interest. THE insurance men want a chair of lifo insurance in the new Chicago uni- versity. Our experience with life in- surance agents is that the chair is en- tirely superfiuous. The successful lifo fnsurance ngent needs no colloge train- ing. Ho gets there on nervo and not culture. UNLESS the independents call an early convention they will find as many candidates for associate justice of the supreme court as there are counties in the state. Loese of Seward, Morris of Saline, Bryant of Cedar, Gaslin of Franklin and Edgerton of Douglas are alreudy announced, with the ice scarcely broken on the subject. THE effect of the new Illinois usury law will be watched with great interest throughout the west. We have been so frequently warned that further limita- tion of interest rates in this state would bo disastrous; that many people in Ne- braska drénd agitation of the subject. With a judgment rato of but 5 per cent and a contract rate not exceeding 7 per cent, Illinois will demonstrate the evils, if any, and the benefits, if any, of a strict usury law and low legal rates of inter- est. LONDON furnishes the world its great- est scandals. In no other city are courts dovoted so continuously to the public duty of grinding out social sensa- tlons. The-California plan of conduct- ing suits for divorce behind closed doors, with only parties interestod and court officors present, if applied to breach of promise, divorce and similar conten- tions involving the relations of the sexes wore applied in England, that great na- tion would have a groat doeal less to blush over IN THE English house of commons the liberals have succeeded in engrafting upon the factory bill an amendment pro- hibiting children under 11 years from working in manufacturing establish- ments. The importance of this measure from & humanitarian standpoint will be understood when it is associated with the fact that from 150,000 to 200,000 chil- dren of thoso tender years work half time in English factories at present. Strangoly enough the laboring classes opposed the amendment and Home Sec- retary Matthews, on behalf of the goy- ernment party, resisted its passage, EX-GOVERNOR FORAKER has prob- ably fully rehabilitated himself in tho confidenco of the republicans of Ohio by his speech nominating McKinley, and he is likely to play & conspicious part in the coming campaign. Ho has given the most unequivoeal testimony of his triondship for and loyalty to Sherman and McKinloy, and the sincerity of his assurances, is not to be doubted. He disolaims, also, any present political am- bition, of which ho has boen suspected, and undoubtedly he will bo found faith- fully supporting Senator Shorman for re-oloction, should tho republic- ans socuro the next legislature. It has been charged that Foraker had sonator- {al aspirations, but Murat Halstead, who ought to know something about it, says that he has not an immediate passion for the senate. He can afford to wait for that, and meanwhile ho can improve his financial condition so that if a chance 1o go to the sonate over comus to him he will be independent in the matter of money. Foraker has made some rather sorious mistakes in his political career, from the politician’s point of view, but he is n man of too much brains and force to be pushed to the rear. LET NO GUILTY MAN ESCAPE It has been the policy of the repub- lican party from its birth to detect and oxpose the corruption of its unworthy members, It has never shirked this disagreeable duty or shiclded thieves and scoundrels who have stolen their ay into positions of honor and trusts ying the party’s flag. In Nebraska where tho party has continuously been in power since 1867 this has In no has the cloak of partisan .oyalty been used to cover in- dividual dishonesty, or to excuse negli- gencoe and inefficiency The board of public la ings is republican.

It has signified its purpose to make a thorough investi of the charges against the management of the Hustings asylum for the chronic in- sane, The fact that the board itself has been imposed upon and has perhaps neg- ligently passed bills which should have been rejected will notinfluence its course in the scrutiny of tho affairs of this in- stitution, It may direct tho attention of the board to some important chan ges in the methods of certifying Following the precedents of the party, let the republican state officials devote the next month or tw I house- cleaning.

It is expocted that the president will make formal of the re- ciprocity arrangement with Spain about the ond of the present month. It is au- thoritatively stated that the agreement both and equally satisfactory to both, and the English and Spanish texts of the agreement, which are to stand as its authoritative interpretation, are in course of prepara- tion. The delay in oflicially aunounc- ing the arrangoment appears to be due to the absence from Washington of Secretary Blaine; who to have his name appear in connece- tion with the final and formal act. It is also said that the prime min- ister of Spain has exprossed a desire that the finality of the arrangement might bo suspended until it could bo seen whether Mr. Blaine would be able at an early day to resume his duties. The consummation of this agresment is regarded as the most important single achievement of the administ ration. The president is said to ho greatly gratified with the broad and libaral spirit in which the Spanish prime minister has met the approaches of the United States and recognized the force of our peculiar commercial interests with Cuba, and it is under- stood that he will recommend to con- announcement is complete on sides wishes gress the propriety of lowering consid-, erably the duties upon Cuban tobacco of the present taviff law. As to the results oxpected from the reciprocity ment, it is said that the best customs experts of the treasury department pre- dict a surprising growth of Americ ox ports to Cuba as soon as the arrange- ment gets fairly to work. This will come not only from the lowering of Cuban duties upon our imports, but also from the increased prosperity of Cuba under the new tarifl. At present our trade with that island is largely one- sided. While the United States is by far the best customer of Cuba, taking more of her products than all other tions combined, we sell to her people ouly asmall part of what they buy. Spain has managed to keep that market to hersolf as far as sho is able to supply it, and such export trado as this country has with the island is chiefly in articles that cannot be so advantageously ob- tained olsewhere. That the Cuban peo- plo profor dealing with the United States, however, was very plainly shown by the action which lod the Spanish government to considor the question of vec’procity and which had a very decided influence in producing the broad and liberal spivit on the part of that govern- ment which is said to bo so gratifying to tho president. So soon, thovefore, as the reciprocity agreoment goes into of- foct it is reasonably to be expected that this country will supply nearly every- thing the Cuban peoplo requive, and this will mean an addition to our foreign commerce of many millions of dollars annually, a considerable part of which will be in the products of the farm. It is thus seon that the plan of reciprocity is making steady progross, giving assur- ance of great benefits to all American interests and the creation of a bond between all the independent coun- tries of this hemisphere that will grow closor and stronger with time. The nations of Europo are manifesting some alarm at the onward march of this policy, but thoy will not be able to defeat it if our own people have the energy and enterprise to im- provelthe advantagesit will offer. S manship is doing its part woll, and when it has porformed its task all that will be necessary to complote success is thut our manufacturers and morchants shall con- form to the requirements and conditions of the southern markets. That they will do this is porhaps not to be doubted. A STABLE OURRENCY. The best portion of the speech of Major McKinloy 1n accepting the nomi- nation of the Ohio republicans for gov- ornor related to the cyreency. Ho said the republican party is in favor of a civ- culating medium large enough to do the vast business of the country, but insists that that circulating medium, whether silveror paper or gold, shall be sound and stable, secure from discount, or depre- ciation or fluctuation, not only among ourselves, but wherever trade extends. He said that ex- perience at home and throughout the world has demonstrated that a flue- tuating, irvedeemablo currency falls most injuriously upon the laborer and iculturalist” of the country. They agroe- good THE OMAHA DAILY BEBE: give the best thay have—their laborand the products of their labor—and receive in payment the worst form of monoy which pnssos current. The bankor and | broker, the grain dealar and wool buyer, like the rest of mankind, always pays out the poorest money which will eirculate and retains the best. If there ismonoy of differing values, the best is practically taken out the channels of trade and from commercial _hoarded by those who can have rcumulations — and the circulating modium is thus contracted and the country deprived of the active use of its best money. This results inevitably in one standard, and that the poorest The farmer, said Major McKinley, when he sells his wheat is required to give a full bushel in measure. Ho should receive and the buyer should bo required to pay him a full dollar in value. This cannot be if we have dif- ferent kinds of legal tender money of unequal value. *Wao do not want short weight or short measure to apply to what we buy, nor do those who sell want should they be required to v by the fiat of the govern- ment a short dollar in payment for what they sell. We all buy and all soll something—Ilabor or land or skill, or products or merchandise, and have an oqual and reciprocal interest that money shall have fixed and unvarying standards of value, When the laborer performs a full day’s work he should re- ceive his pay in dollavs of full value.’ Referring to the sub-treasury scheme, Major McKinley said there can be legerdemain in legislation which will socure to us money which doos be- long to which can provide the means to pay our debts. The govern- ment was not ordained for any such purpose. It can only give to thoe tizen the widest op- portunity of reward for his labor, ergy and investment. “It cannot sup- ply his losses, nor can it loan its taxes to him. It can coin money and ulate the value thereof; it can borrow money when its receipts fail to provide the necessary revenue to conduct the gov- ernment. But it eannot create money without ereating a debt chargeablo upon the people. It cannot bocome the de- pository of the products of the people and money thereon, and if it had the power it would bo unwise and suicidal to do it.” All this is sound doetrine which men of intelligence everywhere will endorse. No people are so deeply concerned in having a stable currency, every dollar of which s any dollar, as the farmer and the workingman, They not in a position to themselves against the injurious consequences of a fluctuating currency, and they must necessarily be the principal sufferers from a monetary system that provides currency of differin, It is of the highest importance to them that the money they receive in exchange for their products or labor shall not only be sound when they recetve it, but shall carry with it the assurance that it will be just as sound a year after. uses nor ceive our no not us, or en- advance s good protect values. TiE Water Works company does not own th y. It is to be hoped its pro- priotorship does not so much as include a ward councilman, Its proposition that the city must continuo to pay rent upon entively useless hydrants is too absurd for consideration. If the city has no right to place its hydrants where they are needed, regardless of the wishes of the water works company, what rights has the city reserved to itself in its con- teact with that corporation? The arro- gance of this franchised monopoly in this matter of hyd as much contrary to good sense as its other contention that it will not lay pipes in streets to be improved, unless hydrants are located at such intervals as it proposes. The sooner the rights of the city with refer- ence to the waterworks monopoly are judicially determined the better. The citizens aro becoming weary of its ava- vice and presumption. WHETHER the distribu drants is wise or otherwise isa subject for the council to determine. Ward lines have nothing whatever to do with the question. The city cannot af- ford to maintain 34 useless hy- drants at an expense of more than $2,000 per annum merely to keep peace bety councilmen or to make sure that ward has its pro rata of fire plugs ac- vding to population. The whole city pays the cost of the hydrants, and tho interests of the city at large should be the controlling consideration in locating and relocating them. MINNEAPOLIS newspapers repudiate the telegraphic ceport that the Minne- sota metropolis has abandoned the offort to secure the next republican national convention. On the contrary they insist that they are entered for the race and cannot be ruled out by any old fogy cit- izens who fear the city is not equal to the ewergency.

The commissioner of labor and industrial statistics of that state has made a careful investigation in a typical county and finds that out of a total of 141,109 acres of farm land only 40,015, or two-sevonths, is wortgaged, and that the average mortgago is only #11.71 per acre. But the inquiries relat- 1ng to the reasons for mortgaging aro even more remarkable, as they disclose the fact that 58 per cont represents money borrowed tock and im- provements; 20 per cent for business in- vestments, and only 15 percont for all other purposes, which covers improvidence, bad crops and every other trouble. What is true of Sarpy county is probubly true of every other county, and it may be asserted with positivenoss that the mortgages upon farm lands geuerally, instead of ropresenting, as hus been falsely assumed by freotraders, the Qistress and impoverishment of the agricul- tural classes, aro really the strongest kiad of ovidence of progress, Tn other words, five- ixths of tho morlgages represeut progress and development jus’ as surely as does the record of & mortgage by a progressive man in a city who 15 using the borrowed money to extend his business and increaso his ability to make money.

Tho loss Is nearly 10 por cont on the averago population of Ireland during tho last docade. That is to say, Iroland has de- clined at about the samo rate that Ohio, outside of two throa has pained. The deprossing influonce of such a steady drain can hardly be over estimated. It moans loss land cultivated, fower homes occuplod, and the stagnation of those industries which, liko the building trades, uro dopendent maiuly upon the growth of population. Moreover, it implios the rapid dwindling of Irish political strength and prestige in the affairs of the United King dow. Iu 1841 thoe population of Iveland was one-half as groat as that of Eugland and ales, and constituted almost exactly 30 per 1t of the population of the United King dom. Half a century gone tinds tho inhabi tants of Ireland only about 16 por t as numerous as those 8f England and Walos, and forming but 12 por cent of the total for the British Isles, Clearly the timo is gone by forever who tho pedple of Ireland might hopo to grapplo success. fully with tho Knglish, Scoteh and Wolsh, or obtaiu from the contral governmont of th United Kingdom any other concessions than such as may be froely granted by tho domin- ant British party or sanctioned by the publio opinion of Groat Britain. Howover, tho de- cline of Ireland is not due to the decay of the Irish race. The surplus of births over deaths continues about as largo as at any time in ro- cont years, in proportion to the total popula- tion, Whon the faot 13 taken into considora tion that the country is largely drainod by emigration of its young men and women, it is astonishing that the surplus of births over deaths shoutd average 25,000 annually, and that only the immense movement of the brawn and sinew of the land to foreign coun- tries, chiofly to the United States, provents a dy and rapid increase iu the poputation of the “Old Sod.” or citios, Ho is and Tho Cossack is on tho dofonsive. hard pressed by aggrossive democrac he only strives now to hold his old ci Russia. The barbarous cruelties from which the Russiau Jows are suffering aro really but an incideat of the doep-seated fear of other ‘hationalities and higher civilizations which is common among IRussians of nearly all grades of socioty. ‘The hatrod of the Jows 18 only alittle more violent and manifest than the dislike of other non-Muscovite races The persceution of the Jews i roported to bo oxtending already to almost all foroigners iz greater or less degreo. Tne Poles first, and afterwards all other nationaltics, excopt the I'ronch, are being driven from the employ mentof the Russian government in its railroad enterprises in Asia. The distinctively Russian press is making war upon the Tartars as well as the Germans and the Poles, and it is probable thut a large majority of the Russian people, and of the Russian officials especial- ly, would ve glad to seo all foreigners and persons of other than Kussian blood com- pelled to loave the Czar's empire. Moan- while, tho uni students of Russia and other enlightened and progressive cloments of that country’s population feel most. keenly that the influenco of foreign liberty and forcign progress is, above all other things, what Russia most needs. Cossack despotism and savagery are losing what little sympathy or toleration has been felt. in other countries for such barbaric tyrauny, but democracy is gaining ground slowly in Russia itsolf. There are signs that the now era in Persis which has been hoped for so long, is at last at hand. The concessions made to Kuropean capitalists twenty or thirty years ago proved sources of loss rather than of profit, owing to the hostil> influences of all kinds of vested interests, but since thoe estabiishment of the tmperial bank and the decree declaring the lives and property of subjects inviolablo, the condition of affairs has been improving steadily. The shah himself, with a keen oyo to the main chance, has retained a lavgo por- sonal interest in the mining concessions that have been granted, and there is a fair pros- pect of the construction of fair roads without much delay. A tobacco monopoly has been orranged which will result in a great in- crease in cultivation, and the manufacture of wine and spirits will soon be conducted on an immense scale. Tho supply of grapos in the country is said to be practically unlim- ited and can be increased indefinitely by ir- rigation. The good results of the opening of the Karun river to navigation aro making themselves more apparent year by year. “There is, moreover, reason to hopo that the mischievous supremacy o! tho priesthood is at an end, or at least tottering to its fall. Great significance is attached to the check recently oxporienced by the celebrated Mool- lah Hadji Syud Ali Akbar, who preached, during Ramadan, against the admission of Buropeans. He was arrostod and banished to Kurbela, whereupon his family demanded his recall and fomented a riot, which was suppressed by militury force. After this All Akbar's family was sent to join him in exdlo, the foreigners thus gaining o signak victory. The Argentine Republic possesses latent wealth in cnormous quantities, and its devel- opment ad but a beginning when tho finan- cial crash came.

The cnly safe way would be for Americans to briug thelr monoy here and insist upon taking complete charge of the Qesperately crippled finances of the nation. Many well informed mon do uot beliove that American bankers would bo allowed to assume complete control, for the Argontines are an excoodingly proud race, and nothing but the certainty of absolute ruin would in- duce them to grant outsiders control, But the fact oxists that ruin actually stares these haughty people in the face.
