CALVIN S. Brick of New York, sena- tor-elect from Ohio, will be seated. The storios of movemonts to prevent him from taking his seat are altogether sensational.

A PROSPECT OF SETTLEMENT. Thero are good rensons for hoping that the controvorsy batween the smelt- ing works company and the striking em- ployes will ho adjusted today, or within two or three duys at most A confor- ence yosterday bot \ Mossrs, Barton nd Nush and a committee from the striking men resultad in a provisional agreement, the terms of which are found in the nows columns today. It is possible th it the difforences still obtaining will interfors with the imme- diate settlement of ths difficulty, but point has been gained and the fivst defi- nite steps toward a_resumption of work have been taken, Upon comparing notes the strikers find that they and their latéremployers are not so far apart as both had sup- posed. By mutual of no particular consequence they are abla to et near enough to seo the possibility at least of re-establishing their formor re- lations, concessions INCONSISTENT REFORMERS. The promoters of the new political movement profess to ba opposed to cli legislation. Yet the platform of the peo- ple’s party, adopted at Cincinnati, do- mands a policy which would result in the worst form of slation. It calls for the issue of treusury notes to ba loaned upon non-perishable produgts as tod in the sub-trensury plan, and also upon real est: This would be no benefit to the millions of labor- ing men who have no products and no real estato to offe ucity for o loan, The carpenter, the or and the wage worker of every cluss, having no resource but their daily labor, could not go to the national and obtain notes at a low rate of interost, buv under the policy proposed by the people’s party they would be compelied to this currency, regavdless of its depreciation and loss of purch ing power. They would doubtless de- mand a greater number of the nominal dollars for a day’s work than they now ¢ of good dollars, but it is hardly possible that the increase of their wages would keep pace with the stoady depre- ciation of the money in which they would be paid for their labor. Thus there would be the most direct possible discrimination on the part of the gov- crnment against by far the largest pro- portion of its citizens, and the r the discrimination lasted more severe would be the hardship to such citizens. The proposi- tion of the so-called people’s party is to make the government the banker of the property owners of the nution, who are a small minority of the people, regard- less of tne interests and welfare of the large majority upon whose labor the in- dustrial prosverity of the country de- pends. Under the pian of that party the man who owned an acre or two of land, or had a bale of cotton ora few bushels of wheat and corn, could go to the public treasury and got a loan at the lowest rate of interest, but the mechanic, no matter how skilled in his calling, or the professional man, no matter now great his attainments, hav- ing no real estate and no imperishable products such as are contemplated by the sub-treasury plan, could get nothing from the government and must accept for their sarvices the fint paper issued to the favored few, and which they would not dave to keep, for fear of de- preciation, longer than would be necessary to get to the butcher and baker and exchange it for meat and bread. Could anything be clearer than that such & system would be the most absolute as well as the most dangerous form of class priviloge? It is most difii- cult to see how any intelligent wage worker, dependent upon his lahor alone, can espouse thoe causo of the people’s party, with the sub-treasury scheme as the cardinal feature of its policy. It has been well said that there can be no legerdemain in legis- lation which will secure w us money which does not belong to us, or which can provide the means to pay our debt: The government was not ordained for any such purpose. It can only give to the citizen the widest opportunity of raward for his labor, energy and investment. It cannot sup- ply his losses, nor can it loan its taxes to him, It cannot create money without creating a debt chargeable upon the people. elass 1 ze treasur, coive e MILLS COUNSELS HIS PARIY. Mr. Roger Q. Mills, who is a candi- date for speaker of the next house of representatives, has been instructing the democrats of Iowa us to their duty. The Texas congressman can always bo depended on to meot any demand of this kind that may be made upon him. He enjoys more than any other man 1n this nation the privilege of instructing and counseling his party. This is be- cause Mr. Mills has very great faith in himself. He 1is conscious of superior ability as an exponent of democratic prineiples as they are today. He has never for a moment doubted that the tariff bill which he framed in the Fiftieth congress was by far and away the wisest and bost measure of the kind that was ever produced by tho brain of man. He undoubtedly regards himself as easily the foremost statesman in tho democratic party, and probably feels that but for his location the democ- racy would now be unanimously apponl- ing to him to load the purty as 1ts presi- dential candidate next year. There 18 difference of opinion as to whether Mr. Mills favors absolute free trade or simply desives tariff reform. This is due to the fact that the gontle- man’s statemeuts of his position have vavied at different times and places. It is possible to find in some of his very numergus addvesses positive testimony thut he is a free trader, but whenevor this charge hus been brought to his attention he has very ear- nestly denied it and insisted that he wished only for a reform of the tariff. This uncertainty rogarding the real at- titude of Mr, Mills on this important question somewhat militates against his influence as an exponent of democratic tariff principles, but this does not inter- foro with his personal sense of superior fitness to discuss this subject. It now seewms that Mr. Mills is likely to confuse his fellow partisans rogarding his posi- tion on silver. The understanding has been that he was one of the wmost earnest supporters of free | !..mm and that in the event of his elevation to thespeakership he uld ox 1 his influence in notion of that policy. But now he tells his party that it must put the out of present consideration nd not permit it to enter into the national canvass of next year. is stated from Washington that the planation of this is that Mr. Mills has roached an understanding with the Cleveland ¢ tho spaakors ship, and is ssary for him to on his silver record and put himself in a prsition to | check, if possible, the savage onsot that is oxpected to be made in congrass next winter for fr e is after n votes and it appears he is likely pturo somo of them, Thero is ovi- dence that his advice rogarding silver is cordially vecoived by the Cleveland democrats in tho enst, who it said will at o undertake to educate the party into the acceptancs of his view. whly probable, in fast practi- in, that the counsel of Mr. Mills will not be followed. The democratic majority in the next house of representatives is overwhelm- ingly in favor of fres and unlimited silver coinage, and it will not renounce that policy either at the suggestion of Mr. Mills or to pleaso Mw Cloveland, The democracy of Ohio, Kentucky and Towa has pronounced for fres coinnge, and will not now abandon that positic Other southern and stutes will follow their and every demoeratic constituency whe representative in was elected with the support free coinage will insist upon his earrying out that understanding. The democratic party is too complotely eom- mitted to free coinige to rotreat from that position, and it will not do so. BET! WEATHER SER The weather service is no longer an experiment. It is the settied policy of the government to note, rvecord and prognosticate the conditions of the ather inall partsof the union, through nal service bureau, now a branch of the agricultural department. After years of exnorience more or less suceess- ful in predicting the weather conditio the government has coneluded to estab- lish loeal forecast stations in the promi- nent cities. These stations will collect data for local sections and announce foreeasts for their neighborhood justas the head office in Washington hs ttempted to do for the countr, in his party, pro silver question It ox- ats on it ymoe h double n coinnge, onstc to e ort ling silver W western exambple, con undorstu vie:, ns ast officidls have been ap- pointed for New Yorl, Boston, Cincin- nati, St. Paul, Nasnville, Cleveland, Galveston, Baffalo, 3t. Louis, New Or- leans, Detroit, Milwaukeo and Chicago. Others will yet be appointed, and Omaha’s importance as the principai city west of the Mississippi river sug- gests the advisability of making a re- quest for a forecast offico here. The grain men will be especially interested in the reports which are available to citizens where one of these centr il offices is located, and Omaha, as the center of al viculturai area, should not be overlooked by the agricultural depart- fhent. The matter is of sufficient’ importance to suggest that the board of tr take it up and solicit the assistance of the Nebraska senators in securing consider- ation of Omu claims. The present efficient signal service officer will cheer fully furnish a committes of the boarda with all the information necessary to intelligent action, and upoh request would no doubt explain the workings of this new und improved feature of the waather service burean. rge de THE POST OFFICE BUILDING, Our Washington correspondent has been shown a perspective of the new post office building for this city and the announcement is made that the plans are now ready to submit to tho inspoc- tion of the three cabinet oflicers who must approve them before they are finally adopted. It appears that the architects of the treasury department adhere to the idea that the building is intended primarily to embellish Siy teenth street and they have therefore drawn their pluns with that purpose. A tower will mark the Sixteenth street front and Seventeenth street will be the back yard of the building. Without detailed drawings of the building it is quite impossible to criti- ciso the general plan or to suggest changes. It is, however, proper to in- form the authorities in Washington that the people of Omaha will not be satisfied with a structure which shall ignore the future importancs of Seventeenth street. As THE BEE has hitherto suggested, an ornate building in the form of u cross, set in the middle of the blockz some forty or more feet back from the sidewalk iines of both Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets with the end entrances on tho four streets and parking at each cornor of the block would ba a far more satis- factory style of steucture than one which shall sacrifice Seventoenth street for the benelit of a parallel thoroughfure.

Phis board owes an apol- to the people for a failure to do its duty tho past.” Vhere are the peoplo? “You will flad where they are if rates avo | not reduced,” repliod Dawos. “Do you really say we have not douo onr duty " politely asked Auditor Bentou. ““I'iere is a good deal more to do than to 0 on a special car to the Pacific coast,” plied Dawes. “Wouldn't you like to ride on a passt vetorted Benton. “Iwouldn't,f T was a servant of the peo- ple and was supposed to be working for their intorest,” b0 vou complain of rates on hog r corn# asked General Hastings, “Nosir, not exactly, but I do comp that certain portions of a hog are discrimi nated against. Persons living only seventy. five miles from Omana pay as much freiznt for canned goods as peoplé shipping from St Louis, 445 miles away, The same is true of hundreas of other articles.” Dawes was asked if ho would present a formal written complaint to the board, but led 0 do so. Ir. Searl appeared beforo the board and led the attention of the members to tho ct that when class 2 wheat was bringing % s in Chicago that tho buyers in western ska wero offering only 55 conts. Ho aid that ho had heard that there was u scheme among the buyers to hold down the prices by having the board change cortain vules. Ho asked the board to prevent such a combin if possible. Ho also urged that the board regzulute and lower through rates. He was asked by Attorney Genoral Hust- ings what portions of the rules wore to changed, but Mr. Searl could not do so. Mr. R H. Oakley, president of the Lincolu board of trade, made an interesting address in which he deniod that the statements of Mr, Dawes wore true, that the discrimination in railroad rates had retarded the progress of tho state. He introduced Mr_ Utt of the Lincoln paper mill. Utt produced figures showing that Nebraska had not been discriminated against by tho railroads. Ho showed @& _number of way-bills both from Nebraska and Towa showing that local ratos were lowor in Nebraska than in Jowa, He also declared that paper could be_ manufactured to n groater advantage in Nevrasca than in Il nois on account of the low rates affordod tho | braska muanufacture: tiroads. In or to a question ary Johnson declared that an adoption of Towa freizht rates in Novraska would bo a detriment to the latter stato.

Mr. Burrows smd that Mr. Dawes had taken thom away to the allianco oflice to bo publisned in pamphiot form, General Hawloy asked if Mr. Burrows would not also publish the figires propared by Mr. Utt. Burrows declined to do this. Mr, Burrows was askad if he wished to say anytiang to the board. Ho ropliod toat Mr. Dawes hud been employed by the ulli- ance to attend to thal matter. Mr. Burrows snid that he personally knew nothing about the question of transportation —*uothing wore than the man fn_ the moon,” he added. Ho intimated that it would be a good thing to have passes prevented. Mr. Holdrege asked if that referred to persons who hud beeu pussed free with grain for the suffering farmer: G | Hawloy of tho Elkhorn, aroso und said: “Thoe man" who knows the least ubout 1t is the man who says the most_about it und talks the most about it e is the publishe of a paper that claims to represent the {arw ers, aud ho admits that Lo does not know anything about it.
