INATOR warT of Nevada has hired magnificent apartments at Min- neapolis as headquarters for the free silver republicans. From present ap- poarances there is no danger of a crush at those silver headauarters. R HARRISON is a rantankerous free silver democrat, and his flat-footed endorsement of Horace Boies for the presidency leaves no room for doubt as to the re: tent of the Towa platform on the question of free coinage.

THE railronds are itating the pro- ject of making an exhibit at the World’s fair of model passenger and ticket of- fices. 1f they o this it is to be hoped the surly ticket agent will be placed undor complete subjection, otherwise the good impression made by other pro- priotors of railways will be lost entirely. CRIPPLING the postal se:vice is one of the methods ol ecunomy out of which the house democrate expect to make cam- paign political capital. Postmaster Goneral Wanamalker, in a letter to Speaker Crisp, warns the democrats of the effects of withholding necessary ap- propriations from this branch of the ser- vice. COLONEL JON of the St. Louis Re- public heads the delegation from Mis- souri to the democratic national conven- tion. This fact is not caleulated to fill David Bennett Hill with joy. However, that is of no consequence, for David has practically dropped out of the possibility class into the trying-to-get-oeven conso- lation purse. PRrorosars have been invited by the Board of Public Works for more wooden sidewalks. Wooden sidewalks are a nwsanco as woll as a menace to the safoty of pedestrians. Not a foot of wooden sidewalk should be laid any- where in this city excepting for tem- porary use on streets that sre without an established grade, and then only on streots where materinl chunges from the natural lay of the land are anticipated. Tue Douglas county hospital cost money enough to have been a first clas structure. The plans were all right and the contract price was high enough to have made money for the contractors without fraud. Now that the north wing has been almost ruined by the sinking of the foundation it would be well to make some investigations as to the character of the work verformed, with & view to proceeding against the bonds- men of the contractors if they are not alroady roleased by the acceptance of the monumental wrock. AN IMPRACTICAL SUGUESTION Me. D, C. Deaver, who has achiove gome prominence as wavoeate of so- cial and political reforms, venturos to assail the proposed Nebraska Central and suggests in its place tho A freo railroad brid to jointly by Douglas and Pottawa countics, Mr, Deaver's estimates and figures aro incorr and too mis lending, and his suggestion of a free railrond is utterly impractical It 18 no that the proposed bonds boar 5 per cant intorcst, as he computos, and the amount donated is nots payable for twenty bonds ara 10 bear 4 per cent and the city bonds only 4 per coat. In his ealoula tion the city and o ty are out of pocket 81,500,000 from the very day when tho bonds are voted. In fact only one<half of that sum is actually to bo paid, wnd intorest does not bogin until one your aftor the delivery of the bonds, and the total paid thoreafter will only bo 832,500 annually. Me, Deaver treats the subsidy as though it repre- sented eash instead of credit Pottawattamio county would not vote 30,000 for a bridge across the river be- ailrond bridge would not Blulfs or Pottawattamio the subsidy of and tho bridge load from no- would be in the $2 cause thoe fros benefit Council county. But $1,000,000 wore constructed. Tt whore to nowhere., It clouds, as it were. The terminal facili- ties which will cost the Nebraska C tral at loast $2,000,000, the right-of way through the city. to South Omaha ana the inlet and outlet wh 1l involve a furtner expense of perhaps £5,000.000 are the most valuable features of the propo- sition. A free bridge would bo unloss landing places on both sides of the rviver and teafli wore sceured, Mr. Doaver will hardly arguo that $1,000,000 will build a double- teack bridgo, a double-track railway through tho eity to South Omaha and hundred miles eastward into Towa, pas- wor and freight depots, shops, round houses, switches and sidetracks, to say nothing of eauipment. SuUpposo would usoless accommodations r the sake of argument, however, let us assume tl the $230,000 subsidy would bo voted by Pottawattamie county citizens, and that the $750,000 from Douglas county added to that bonus would secure all these important benefits, there is still an insuperable difficuity in the way Article “xi., municipal corporations, scetion 1, of the constitution of Nebrasia reads as foi- lows: ** No ecity, county, town, precinet, municipality, or other subdivision of th state shall ever becoine @ subscriber to th cupitul stock, or owner of such stock, or any portion or iaterest thercing of iy railroud or private cosporalion or wsso- ciation.” This provision of the state constitution puts an absolute quietus upon all the talk of the county or city owning a rail- way or arailroad bridge or stock in either. There is a further misapprehension as rvegards the proposed bridge. Under the charter granted by congress to the Nebraska Central company, the bridge which they are to ercet is expressiy made available for any and all lines of railrond upon reasonat le compensation. The seeretary of war is made the arbitrator who shall deter- mine what is reasonable compensation, and while local controversies are not to b referred to arbitvation for five vears, payment of the right of any company to use the double-teack, bridge and approaches and the compensation to be paid for the pri may be arbitrated or deter- mined by the secrotary of war or the local arbitrators immediate after its completion. In this par- ticular the Nebraska bridge churtor differs from that of the Union Pacific and other Missouri river bridges. There an be no question upon this point, be- ause the terms of tho charter are per- fectly plain and the intention of con- gress was plainly understood when the act granting it was pussed. There is, therefore, no danger of the Union *acific absorbing the new bridgo and shutting out other railway companies. The fact is that the more carefully the N 1slka Central proposition is con- sidered the moro satisfactory do its terms appear, THE SILVER CONFERENCE, The attitude of the Ilnglish press re- garding the proposed international sil- ver conference is decidedly unfriendly. Their view is that the British chuane lor of the exchequor has boon en- trapped and made to serve a political purpose, while as to the outcome of a confoerence they profess to think that no good could come of it. The London Times expresses the opinion that the effoct of the conference will only be to keep the silver market and tho whole quostion of the currency in an unscttled stato for a long time to come. This opposition of the English pross to any effort 1o establish an international ratio for silvor undoubtedly reflocts the gen- eral sentiment of British linanciers, but there is a large elemont of the paople of Great Britain who are friendly to a largor use of silver in tho currency though fhoy probaifly do not exert a very great influence. As to Mr. Go- sehen, the chancollor of the oxchequer, heing entrapped, the invitation to a con- forence, it is understood on this side of the ocean, was lurgely due to his ex- prossions favorable to a larger uss of silver. He has been more than once ve- ported duving the lust yeur or two as holding the opinion that a more exten- sive use of silver is practicable, and the tendeney of this has heen to encourage the belief that the British government would join in & conforence designed to give silver a bettor standing among Eu- ropean nations. It was on the strength of this that the invitation wus extended, und it had nothing whatover to do with politics. The acceptance of the invita- tion by the British government will in- duce other Kuropean governments to accopt, and in this way the silver ques- tion will ain receive international coasidoration, with a possibility of at lonst improving the situation, though it must be confessed that the signs that thix may be done ave nat entircly reas- suring. However, the assurances are that hesides Great Britain, France, G many, Italy and Austeo-Hungary will be represeuted in the conferonce, aud doubtless other countries will send dole- gales. Uertainly the present is a most THE OMAHA | auspicious timo for such a conference and it is manifestly absurd 1o nssume, ns ome of the Inglish papers do, that any harm can come from it, though it should entirely fail of its purpos DAMAGING ECONOMY Postranster General Wanamaker has sont a letter to Speaker Crisp in refer- « to the proposed lar, tction in the appropriations for the postal sorv- ‘0. The postmaster goneral says that the offect of doing this will ba to impair rvico and prevent the carnings foreshadowed in the last t of the department. He also sug sts that if necessary approprintions are withheid the department may not be able to meot the exigenciss which it is reasonably to ba expected the postal service will bo under noxt year. Tho postmaster general remarks that the service will be subjected to comparison with that of other countries by exhibit ors and during the World's air, and manifostly it shouid bo placed at a disadvantago by refusing to provide the means to mect every probable demand. It is to be hoped that. this appeal of the postmastor genoral will have the desived offect upon the house, but it is not probable that much attention will be paido it. Hav passed the most extravagent river ana harbor bill in the history of this legislation, and therehy demonstrated what a colossal humbug the democratic protenso of economy be for visitors not necessary comes when there is opportunity a generous distribution of the publie money among demoeratie constituencies, it will be deamed nocessary to « this action by cutting down approvviations in all other divections, so that the party may mako some claim to economy when it zoes before the campaign. There s little reason to ex- pect, thorefore, that the postal service will eseape, alth people in the coming ugh the whole people divectly concerncd in the efliciency and thoroughness of that sc ice than they ure in that of any oth Every inhabitant of the country is per- nally intercsted in having the i SOIVICe 48 nea are more it porfect as possible, and it would be a wrong one, whethor the mails much or little, to impair the high standard of eflicicney that has been attained. The nastol ral is undoubt edly cc in ¢ ning that the postal service will be subjected to seve to every usin pos ror tests next year thaa ever before, and doubt- loss hie is also vight in bolioving that foreign visitors will instituto compari- sons betweoen the servies in this and other countries. The are, therefore, both pradential d puriotie reasons why appropriations for this sevvice should not be regulated by a narrow and niggardly policy of retronchment, but it is to bo apprehended that neither these will be sufficiently strong with tho majority of the house of representatives to overcome thoe poiitical reason for cur- tailing the Besides, there is no *'pork™ for democratic con- stituencies in the expenditures for the postal ser The seet ing econ- omy in this direetion as in somo othors is in the republican senate, and it should not hesitate, as probably it will not, to the responsibility of refusing to concur in the parsimony of the house in eve ro it threatens to impuir of the public service. of approprintions. take case whe the eftivienc ThE nearly universal approval of the act passed by congress and promptly sizned by the president to encourage American shipbuilding, shows the ox- tent to which the public sentiment of the country favors the restoration of the merchant marine. Although “his meas- ure adds but two ocean steamers to the American registry and provides for the construction in American shipyards of two others which it is promised will be of greater oxcellence, it is received b the country as a step in the right direc- tion from which important results aro onably to be expected. While con- fessedly tentative, it novertheless marks a distinet ndvance toward tho restora- tion of the me chant murino and ought 1o prove, as it is expec to do, astrong incentive to shipbuilding in the United States on ascale rivalling the highest development of this industey in IS Our shipbuilders claim that they can build equai to any of Furopean constru ab o cost which . ocean steamers ion will enablo American st» mship panies to succossiully competo with those of Buropo, and’ the oppostunity will now be afforded them to test their ability and skill against Kuropewn build- ors. The policy of restoring the mer- chant marine of the country will involve an enormous investment of ecapital, but it is justilied on both economic and pntriotic grounds. Theannual payment to forcign ship owners of betwoen $150,000,000 and $200,000,000 is an im- mense drain upon the country, while an American merchant marine composed of such stenmrers us will be admitted to registry under the act just passed by congress would constitute a most valua- ble auxiliavy to the navy in an emer- gency. T house of representatives has done well in ordering an investigation of the Pinkerton detective system, and it somewhat remarkable that the resolu- tion for this purpose should have en- countered so much opposition. It is to be observed, however, that this was not from any doubt as to the questionable character of this ovganization, but was due to the opinion that the matter was one to be denlt with by the states and did not come within the jurisdiction of congress. The better opinion, whic prevailed, that congress has the right 10 engt whether the Pinkerton de- teetive system hus been employed in wuys hostile to the peace and rights of the people, and the consequences of such omployment, will be upproved by intel- ligent public judgmant. The record of the operations of the Pinkerton detec tives is of u character to justify all that has been said in condemnat. of the system, and it is the duty of tho ropr sentutives of the people in congress to consider what may be done to check the growth in this country of such a body of irresponsible urmed mercenaries, re- ernitod largely from the of the city and obeying the authority of a pri- vate eitizon. is slums ERY new pavement laid in Omaha ALY ; Bisl: SATURDAY, 1 from now on ghould be of durable mator inl.

Italy ie financially one of the weakest countries of the contuient. She staggors under an enormous national debt, and suffers all the evils of a depreciated currency, which is largely composed of paper, in a small de- gree of silver, and in au insienificant one of gold. Yet she has the ambition to appear as a party to the triple ailisuce, as one of tho tirst powers of Kurope. Her ambition is au embarrassing one, for the reason that it is so costly. It requires her {o muintaiv a vast military aud naval avmament, the expensos of which are a heavier burden than she can successfully carry, Siguor Crispl's govern- ment was thoroughly committed to the alls ance aud all the cost which it imphed, avd it was his militapy and wpaval budgot that wrought his downfall. W ben Siguor Rudiui succceded ns . prosident of the council, or promier, it was known that he held very con servative views with regard to the compacy with Germanyund Austria, but it was one that Italy could . mot easily rotire from without loss of diguity and prestige, and it has beon continued.
