It deserves en- couragement as a local enterprise capa- ble of development into an institution of great value to Omaha and the state. OMANA’S railroad to Montana is as certain as the process of time. All it neods is enterprise enough in Omaha to light the fuso at this end. The Montana soction of the proposed line is fully ablaze. RAILROAD interference with the re- publican conventions, and railrond at- tompts to control platforms or tickots, will not be tolerated. This is the peo- ples’ year, and the corporations must stay out of politics.

This particular Jones is lLieutenant governor of the Empire state and his flirtation with the independents is an indication that he does not propose to be ignorad by the democrats without reseuting the indignity. END OF A BAD MESS. Governor Thayer has made a ruling upon the recent Hastings asylum for the i sane, which lacks dignity, candor, ment, ond the courtesy due from branch of the state government to an- other. The State Board of Publie Lands and Buildings patiently investi- gated certain formal charges made against Steward Liveringhouse and Superintendent Test of the asylum Thoey devoted weeks to the inquiry and made it wearching. The testimony was voluminous and was reduced to writ- rable 1n- judg- ono ing. They also employed an expert accountant to exnmine specially into the nccounts of the institution. After completing the examination, part of which was in the presence of the gov- ernor, having cohducted it according to law, they submitted their findings to the governor, together with a copy of all the testimony and other papers connecterd with the cise. The letter of transmittal and all the papers were in proper form and were especially courteous to the chief executive. Their duty ended when they had veported to the governor, and neither as u board collectively nor as members individually have they criti- cized his inexcusable delay in reaching a conelusion upon those findings. There is no justification for the gov- ernor’s arraignment of the board. IHe has overstepped the bounds of official courtesy and instead of calmly passin; upon the questions submitted has con- stituted himself the accuser and judge of that body itself and has attempted by pettifoguing tactics to shift the blame for acknowledged icregularity from the indicted officials to a branch of the state government which supervises the gen- eral conduct of state institutions but must depend upon the integrity of local officers for the proper conduct of the details of their management. Tho governor admits the truth of tho charge of irregularities and distinctly and severely condemns them. The irregularities were grave enough 1o wareant the peromptory dismissal of the sed oflicials. He attacks the findings of the board upon the other spe- cifications by special pleading and an at- tempt to discredit witnesses whose tes- timony was not impeached. He indulges in railing at a state official who is not on trial. He acts all through the letter asif he were the advocate of the ac- cused and they had been subjected to gross persecution, The two ofticiais have resigned, al- though they should long ago have been suspended, and after the investigation deserved discharge. By resigning they tacitly admit the forcé and truth of the charges presented and the fairness of their trial though protesting bitterly and backed by a repetition of their pro- tests by the governor. Having resigned, the state is rid of them and except for the governce’s defense they would have been quietly permitted to retire to pri- vate life. Tne Bek brought the charges to pub- lic attention and reported the testimony as it was given. Tts readers will agree that its accusations ve been sustained and will join in congratulating the peo- ple of the state that the investigation has resulted in driving Test and Liver- house out of a public service which they disgraced. LABOR NEEDS A SOUND CURRENCY. Senator Sherman, in hisspeech on the silver issue delivered in Ohio a few days ago, asked—How can a farmer or laborer or other producer be benefitted by a cheaper dollar? The dollar is the measure of his toil. It is only useful to him to buy the necessaries of life or to accumulate property for advancing nge. Its value is measured by its purchasing power. Cheaper dollars make more dollars necessary for his wants. The relative market value of all commodi- ties will riso or fall with the market valuo of the dollar, and unless the silver dollar is worth as much as the gold dol- lar it will not buy as much food and clothing as the gold dollar. No govern- ment 18 powerful enough to fix the price of anything. We tried that during the war, but the price went up as the dollar went down. In thenorth the greenback dollar, the sacred promise of a nation, woald at one time buy only as much as 40 cents in coin. In the south the dollar of the confederacy went down to the value of rags. A govern- went may say what shall be money and may call it a dollar or a dime or a cent and manke it a legal tewder, but no one but the owner of property, from a cup of milk to an improved farm, can say how many dollars or dimes or cents can buy the milk or the farm. Why, indeed, should any workingman favor an inflated and uncertain cur- rency? He is sure to suffer by such a currency, and he is the least able of all wen to bear the los: which it must bring upon him. Consider what would be the effoct of the policy of paper in- flation proposed by the people’s party. The first vesult of the issue of a couple of billions of paper legal tendor to be loaned on land at nominal rates or otherwise distributed among the people would be a panic in banking and financial circles, due to the destruction of confidence, the un- londing of American securities held in Europe, and the universul desire of prudent investors to turn their property into gold and got it out of tho country. After the whirlwind of disaster had spont its forco there might follow a gen- eval viso in prices, of the same nuture as that which took place in the southern states when confederate currancy was becoming daily more worthless, or a8 the recent rise in values in the Argentine Republic, where cur- rency inflation has wrought an amount of injury from which the country will not recover in a generation. he r in prices would come fivst in the articles of merchandise which are in groatest demand. Luxuries would be affected later. The last thing to 7o up would be wages. That is the invariable rule and only those who have read history blindly or have never studiod the course of in- dustrial and financial changes, can sup- pose that the price of labor would rise a8 fust or as far as the cost of the neces- saries of life which labor buys. But even if the advance, measured in cheapor dollars, were ubout the same all around, the workingman would still bhe the losor. What he might seem 0 goain in wages would be lost investigation of the | liv- purchas- in increased expenses of ing and in the lessened ing power of every dollar earned saved. All the money which the thrifty workingmen of America have put away in snvings banks would lose much of its value, and they would ba robbed of n part of the accumulations which repro- gent their industry and prudence. Therefore sell-interest, if not sound principles, should suffice to keep every ge oarner on the side of honest money OUR CHILIAN RELATIONS. gan, the American minister to Chili, has finally notified the govern- ment that something unusual has hap- poned in that country. The information is stale, but it has the merit of being official, and while the government know all and much more than its diplomatic represontative has reported, it could not decide what action it would take until he was heard from. It could not pro- coed, however anxious it might be to do something, upon the infor- mation derived from the newspapers and from the repovts to tho Navy department of Admiral Brown. It appears that the president has been a good deal annoyed at the tardiness of Minister Egan, and it is not improbable that he will be asked for an explanation in the event of his boing permitted to remain in Chili by the new government, which is thought to be questionable. It scoms there is a disposition at ‘Washington to recognize the new gov- ernment in Chili, and to do so with as little delay as possible in order to over- come the impression that the United States has heen hostile to the revolu- tionists. The dispatches state that this feeling is very strong, and that unless it is conciliated in some way American commercial intorests in Chili may be sriously damaged. There are reasons wh appear valid to the revo- lutionists for assuming that this country was unfavorable to their cause, but it is hardly to bo doubted that these can readily be ox- plained away, ifsit should be necessary todoso. But there need be no haste in vecognizing the new government. It is of course desirable to maintain friendly commercial relations with Chili, but obviously the importance of this is s great for that country as for this, and the able anen who are now at the head of Chilian affairs will hardly make the mistake of doing anything to disturb or impair the commerciai relations be- tween the two countries in order to gratify a pique. At any rate the United States can afford to wait until the new government in Chili is fully established and has demonstrated that it is sustained by the whole people. Minister gan reports that overything is tranquil, but this statement does not agree with the newspaper advices, and thus far these have been absolutely trustworthy. The inference from these is that the new governuient is not in that absolute control of affiirs nec- to give it an unques- tionable claim to recognition, and while another revolutionary outbreak is not probable, such an event cannot be regarded as impossible. Now -that our minister to Chili has spoken, it is rea- sonably to be expected that the govern- ment will soon be placed in possession of such further information regarding the situation there, and the probable pe manenco of the new order of things, as will enable it to act intelligently regard- ing the recognition of the new Chilian government. THERE is favorable promise that a treaty of reciprovity with the republic of Salvador will soon be consummated. The draft of an arrangement has boen madoe and is now in the hands of the president The minister from that country at Washington thinks thero is no doubt that a treaty will be effected without delay, and that it will be thoroughly reciprocal in its terms. The people of Salvador, whose govern- ment is modeled after that of the United States, have the friendliest feel- ing toward th and it is thought there will bo no popular opposition to reciprocity. The trade between the two countries is not very extensive, but it can be considerably enlarged under the more favorable conditions which the proposed arrangement would croate, SECRETARY JOUNSON has written an- other letter. It is addressed to Charles H. Johnson of Norfolk, and refers to the question of a discrimination in rates to Norfolk. The secretary takes occasion to moralize a little on the evils of nurs- ing grievances and arousing popular prejudice agninst tho railrouds, but on tho wholo the lotter is an 1mprovement upon those mailed to Hon. W, H Dach, There is hope that the secretary will oventually come to an understanding of his position and confine his offizial com- munications to statements of fact and abjure argument. Mr. Johnson is one of the three secretaries of the board and not an editor, teacher or an attorney on behalf of the stato. It is no part of his business to instruet the people or plead the cause of the railroad; THE “presidents’ agreement” among the railways as applied to the Western Traftic association provides thut there shall be no extensions built within the tervitory covered by tho organization for five years, The I3, &. M. extension to Montana is alleged by competitors to be u violation of this‘ agreemont. The B. & M., however, never makes an agree- ment which keeps it ouv of terrvitory promising as large traffic roturns as Mon- tana, and it will go on building in spite of the grimaces of rivals, At least peo- ple in Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana hope the B. & M. nerve is still intact and that it cannct be dissunded from pushing its way out to Helena and Butte. IN view of the loose contracts hitherto drawn botwoen the city and franchised corporations with holes all on the side of the municipality, it is sincerely hoped Mayor Cushing and City Attorney Poppleton will turn & microscope of the highest power upon the new contract with th Thomson-Houston Eleetrie light company.

THE superintendent of the Geneva home for girls states that the contractor for the new building is putting defective mater into the foundation. The con- tractor demands an investigation. The board of public lands and buildings should settle the question at once and compel the contractor to do honest work if the superintendent’s charges are eor- rect. If they are false it is time for the appointment of a new superintendent. POSSIBLY along about election time the council and Board of Public Works an agree and put an army of men on the public work which ought to have been well under wav early in the present senson.

Operations of a Peculiar Investment Company in Kansas. Leavexswonri, Kan., Sept 2.—For several ‘woeks this vicinity has been flooded with cireulars of a so-callod investment company, whose head office is in this city. The com- puny issues $1,000 bonds, the purchaser pays $10 on receiving his bond and §125 per month thereafter. Of the $10 $1 goes to stockhold- ers and the balance to the ofticers of the com- pany. One doliar of the monthly dues also goes to the credit of the stockholders. As soon as $1,000 is cradited to tho stockholders it is pmd to the person holding the lowest nuwmbered boud on which all dues have been paid. The officers of the company advertise that their scheme has been examined and ap- proved by Governor Humphreys, Insuraunce Commissioner McBrido aud Attorney Gen- eral Ives. A letter was received by tho editor of the Leavenworth Times today from Insurance Commissioner McBride saying that at one time he had examinod the “schieme, but in- stead of approving it had denounced it in un- measured terms as a palpable fraud, without one redeoming feature. Ho also says that Dbe has not suppressed the company becuuse the attornsy general decided that he had no jurisdiction over the company. The attorney generalis investigating the mutter with a viow to closing up ' the company. Circulars of the company have been sont fo the Post- office department at Washington. 1t 1s said that there are many of these companies op- erating throughout the state. et e YELLOWSTONE PARK.

WasinNGroy, D, C., Sept. 2, —~The following monthly crop bulletin has been issued by the Weather burean:—August was warmer than nsual on the Atlantic coast, in the lower lako regions, Michigan and all states on the Pa. cific coast, but coolor than the average tem- perature for August throughout the central valloys. Frosts occurred in the oxtromo northwest about tho 20th, but the wheat cron was 50 well advanced that only very slight damage occurred in the extremo north- ern portiors of Minunesota and North ~ Dakota. F'rost reached the northorn boundary of lowa, but roports gonerally indicato no material injury resultod to tho coru crop. Proceding the oc- currence of these frosts warnings were sent out by this service to the cranberry and to- baceo regions of Wisconsin which cnablou farmers to take the usual procautions and provent injury to these crops. Reports in- dicate that " tho frosts ware quite severe in exposed localities and tho crop injured, al- though doubtiess much henefit must huve re- sulted from the frost warnings. ~ The raiafall was groater than usual in the interior of New Englaud and miadie Atlan- tic stutes, I'he rainfall was also in excess from the lake region westward to the Pacifio coast along tho Northern boundary of tho Unitod States sud 1 the states of the central Mississippi valloy. Portions of Texas und Colorado also report limitod areas of exces- sive rain, Tne corn crop is lato and will probably re- quire about two wecks more of favorablo weather to place 1t bevond injury from frost. Of course this does not apply to the condi- tion of the crop in southern IKansas and thence eastward to Tenuossco and Kentueky, where the crop is now woll advanced. = - ABLE-BODIED VE AN There are Too Many I tional Soldicrs' He MiLWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 2. —Nearly all the old soldiers now in “tho national soldiors' home who are able to work will be compelled to leave the institution very shortly.
