The estimated stock of silver in the woold outside of the United States is more than sixty times the amount of bullion in the treasury Suppose we had the free and unlimited coinage of silver the government could not, with its presout mint facilities, sup- ply silver monoy tothe people as rapidly as the inercase of curiency goes on under existing conditions. The eapucity of the wint is only about $40,000,000 annually, and the addition to the currency during the flscal vear ended June 80 was $103,- 000,000, The people who ure calling for wore circulation would not find their demand wet by free silver coinage. THE OMAHA T0 WHOM BELONGS THE CREDIT? | Ex-Spenker Reed having claimed for | the republicans of the house of repre: | sontatives the eredit of defeating free silver legislation, some papers have questioned their right to the claim, holding that the credit belongs rather to the sound money democrats. Nobody will withhold from the latter the com: mendation they deserve for earnest and porsistent work against free silver. They labored wisely and well. showing at every stage of the fight the courage of their convictions, But the cause for which they battled could not have won without the help of the republicans. When the question of considering the froe silver bill was last before the house the democrats opposad to it mustered 94 votes, while those favoring the measure numbered 117, Had the republicans re- frained from voting the Stewart bill that pnssed the senate would have been considered and without the votes of re- publicans against it would have passed the houso. It is well remembered that when the question of considering the Bland bill was up in March there was a general feeling of anxiety regarding the action to bo taken by the republicans Many members of the purty in and out of congress bolieved that it would be good poiities for the republicans to allow the democrats to make their record on silver and give the president an oppor- tunity to veto u free coinage bill. They might have given valid reasons for such a course, but after due deliberation it was decided to bo tho duty of the party to vote its convietions. The view that prevailed was that expressed by ex- Speaker Reed when he said: **What we must do is that which t for the country, and that wo stand ready to do under all circumstances.” Being op- posed to the tree and unlimited coirage of silver because that policy would be disastrous to all interests, the repub licans in the house of representatives manfully stood by theiv convictions and defeated free silver. Without denying, thérefore, whateve credit belongs o the anti-free coinage democrats for their sturdy fight, far- minded men must concede that the greater share of the credit for the de- feat of free silver belongs to the repub- licans of the house, Had thoy been governed solely by considerations of politicnl expediency; had they been dis- posed to let the democrats make a rec ord on silver regardless of the possible effect upon the financial and business affuirs of tho country; had they, in short, subordinated every othor con- sideration to that of making political capital, unquestionably a free silver bill would before this time have been in the hands of the president. But the repub- lican party is a party of principles. It was established, as Mr. Reed well said, for the purpose of carrying out prinei- ples, and there has never been a time in its history when it failed to respond to the cail of duty or to courageously main- win 1ts convictions of right and its judgment of what is for the best inter ests of the whole people. It is undeniable that the country is indebted for the defeat of free silver in this ss to the straightforward course of the republicans of the housc of representatives, who put uside ever. thing but the question of public welfar and backed their principies with their congr votes. In doing this they made a record for their party which ought to strengthen it in the confidence of the people. T™H PECULA. O i34 TIV. Washington dispatche: raport that a tremendous influence is being b ought to bear upon the senatoe to prevent the passage of the anti-option bill at this session. Kverywhero the influence of the speculators can be exerted to any advantage it is being crowded to the utmost point. The gamblers in focd products who constitute the min sup- port of the comme -cinl bod.es in the trade centers are represented at the na- tional capital by shrewd men who are amply supplied with means to make their influence felt. What they lacs in rgument to demonstrate that it isa good thing to gnmb'e in the food of the people and to keep up a constant war- fure between ‘‘bulls” and ‘“bears” is made up for by such courtesies and atten- tions as the trained lobbyists about con- gress know where and how to extend so as to produce the desived result. It is possible that the course pursued agaionst tho bill may result inits dofeat. It is said that there are senators who feel compelled to vote for the bill in tho senate, but who would liketo have some method devised to release them from its support. Senators should real- iz that their action on this measure will bo regarded with lkeen interest by their constituents. and those who vote for the speculitors against the people will find it no casy matter to justify their conduct, at any rate to constitu- cucies largely ugricultural. This is a matter in which nearl) 000,000 of people engaged in agrizultural produc tion in the United States ave deeply in- torested, and vhey would not easily for- get nor readily forgive the rejection of what they most enrnestly balieve to be an entirely reasonable and defensible demand. Nov are the prolucers aloue in asking this legislation. Every person who can undevstand that the speculative manipulation of the markets, tho gam- bling in products which necessarily ignores the law of supply and domand, must in the very nature of thinga pro- duce abnormal and illegitimate condi- tions, favors the proposed legislation. It is as important to the consumers us to the producers that gambling in food products be stopped and the markets be freed from the unsettling effocts of illo- gitimato speculation. This is a matter, there in which the whole people are concerned, and against their intor osts are arcayed a fow gamblers in the various commercisl bodies of the coun- try—-a class of men who for the most part have little claim to consideration, since they do nothing to advance the material prosperity of the country. The friends of anti-option legislation, being aware of the ‘influence that is being brought to bear to defeat them, it is presumed are not idle. They should spare 1o offort to bring the anti-option bill to & vote in the senate at the pres- sent session. Therve is no sound reason why action on the subject should be postponed, and it wight be' harder to fon fore, overcome the influsncy of the specu- lutorsat the nextsoassion than at the pres- entone. The legislution is demuanded in the interesy of all classes excapt the gamblers, and 1t can as well be provided now as hereafter, AN UNFAIR APPORTIONMENT., The county committee made a very serious blunder in making the appor- tionment of delegates in the county con- vention. As a matter of right and equity the apportionment should have been on the same basisas adopted by the state committes. Each ward and precinet should be entitled to at least one delegate and one for every 100 ro- publican votes cast for Attorney General Hastings, or Judge Post, if that basis is deemed more equitable. But the commit- tee contented itself with the old appor- tionment, made without any basis and without rhywe or reason. Every ward in the city, whatever its republican vote may be, is given nine delegates, and every precinet in the county is given five. Clontarf precinet, which cnly polled five republican votes, is given five delegates. That is nothing more nor less than a premium for bood'ers. That was shown at the last convention, when the delegation from that precinct was on the market to the highest bidder. This so applies to Kist Omaha pro inet, hich had less than twenty-five repu - lican votes at the last olection. Clon- tarf and ¥ast Omaha, with about thirty votes, will have ten delegates in the county convention, and the 1,50) repub- lican voters of the Fourth ward will be ropresented by nine delegatos Such glaring diserepancies are hound to cause dissension and discontent if they are to be repeated when the congre jonal and county tickets are nominated. Our apportionment and our primary elections must be fair in order to insure the undivided support of the razk and file of the party. TiE BURDENS OF THE PRESIDENCY. In his Woodstock anddress Seeretary Tracy dwelt at length upon the growing need of a change in the system by which the duties of tho president of ths United States ara performed. When Washing- ton was president and the people num- bered only about 3,000,000 it was not difli- cult for une man to attend to all of tho de- tails of the presidential office; but a government for 65,000,000 poople in- volves presidential duties vastly larger, and the time will soon come, if it has not already arrived, when the president will be under tho necessity of delegating to others a large proportion of thy work which he now transacts himself. Under the present system he must attend to a great number of minor appointments to oflice; he must hear and decide upon all applications for pardonzhe mustexamine and approve or disapprove hundveds of acts of congress; he must roview the findings of courts-martial and supsrvise the details of business 1n the executive department, The country has outgrown the system that was estabiished in tho infancy of our institutions and it 1s no longer pos- sible for the president to ba parsonally in touch with the poople as the early presidents were without sacrificing in- terests more imvo tant to the publ than those upon tho details of which he is now obliged to bestow so much atten- During tho eight yours ho of Wash- me mu only tion. ington’s administration 400 eivil service appointy but 378 acts of congress and issusd only fifteon pardons. Lst yoar thare wore appointments in the hands of the president and 552 applications for par dons, while the numbose of laws passad by congross was about 2,000 Sse rotary Tracy says that the president must av- erage four and a half appointments each business day of his administration. When it is ramembored that thore are many applicants for each appointment and that exch applicant is cked by friends who must receive due considers tion it will be seon that this duty alone is enough to keep the president busy. It is suggested by Seeretary Tracy that some of the burdens of tho prosidential office ean be thrown upon the shouldors of the cabingt officers, making the heads of tho various depirtmonts responsible for appointments in thoir several bhranches of the public sorvico and sub- mitting all questions of pardon to the attornay genoral, No special legislation is needed to bring about the change proposed. The president has the right to shift a por- tipn of his burdens uvon his eabinet and the time is near at hand when he will find himself compelled to do so. This will give him more timo for the consid- eration of important matters of general public concorn and will thus be to the advantage of the people. —_— AT MINNEAPOLIS all the street rail- way motor wires are suspended from iron poles. The entire ten miles of street railrond between Minneapolis and St. Paul is provilea with iron poles. How much longer are our streets to re- main incumbered with the unsightly wooden poles planted by tie street rail- way company? The ordinance author- izing the running of electric motors pro- vides expressly that iror poles shall be used on every paved strect. That ordin- ance remains a dead letter, like every other ordinance relating to franchised corporations. Months ago we were promised that the wooden poles would bo taken off F'arnam street, but not a sign of an iron pole is yet visible, The fact is that the company has had ample time to carry out the provisions of the ordinance on every paved streot and it should be made to comply with its ob- ligations in this respect on every busi- noess thoroughfare during the preseut season, —_— A COMPANY has recently been organ- ized in Minnesota for the purpose of in- suring what ave known to insuraunce men as “‘under-average” lives; that is, lives which have been rejected by the regular companies as poor risks. This is by no meuns a new deparwure in tife insurance, a8 the plun was introduced in this coun- try a hundred years ago and has been in operation in England for many yoar: But 1t appears that very little has been doue in this line of life insurance in the United States since the failure of the American Popular company in 1877, In Lurope there are many companies which have departments for impaired risks and pumerous others which “‘rate up” DAILY BEIL: their customeras that is, they charge tho s me premiutf §% they would for a healthy risk sgveeal yoars oldor. The new plan company lanvs question, and .oniy thoso lives which prove themselves “impaired aro treated as such in the final deduction, while thoze that provethemaslves healthy are given the bonefit of the domonstration when the policy'bbtomes due. It is estic mated that not'rore than half of the population is adiigsible under tho rulos of the ordinary kompnies and that 10 per cent of théit applications ave re- jected. Henze it foliows that thore is a large field for the “‘under-average’ sys- tem. of the: Minnesota s the qualfplf of the life an o NEBRASKA'S ninal record con- cri tinues to improve as the rewurns come in from the back counties. Tho tabu- lated report to tho State department, propared by Nobraska's deputy labor commissioner, credited Hamilton county with four murder trinl and no con tions in five years. It now appea“s that there never has boen but one trial for a capital crime in that county, and that the criminal escapad from jail after his conviction and has not been rec ptured. The report referred to was misloading, as woll ns grossly in- accurate, It stited that these had been eighty-three murder trinls and fifteen convictions, which might be taken to mean thatsixty-cight persons charged with capital ertms had been found innocent. The truth is that many of them were sentenced to im- prisonmeut for lite or for a term of years. Tho administration of the law in Nebraska is not so inefficient as the veport would seom to indicate. The total number of trials has now been reduced by twenty-six, and there are many counties yet to hear from. DURING the fiscal year ended June 20 the number of miles of railroad track laid was 1,306, showing a decline of 25 per cent as compared with 1891 It is predicted by the Railroad Age that 4,000 miles of track will be laid this year in this conatry, and it proves by reference to past years that this will bo ubout a fair average. Most of the construction of the present year will be confined to short lines built to fill out existing systems. 17 18 high journalism in the World- Herald to eall Mr, Horr a “‘liar” and a “clown.” If any man ol the W..IL or any other demourat in Omaha knew that Mr. Horr was not telling the truth, why did he not point out wherein he was weong?

TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1892 ! canr | Tvis eaid that Tom Majors has gone to Lexington to turn over the remains of his shatterod eubernational boom to Jack | MacColl. Mr. Majors, it is reported, is tey- ing to complotn a deal with MacColl by wiich the promises mado by the statesman from Nemaha will be fulfilied by the Daw- son county gentleman., The results of tho negotiations are not yot known, as the fact of their progress was kept as secrct as possible. It is reported thut as soon as Charch Howe heard the deal was on ho started for Lexing- ton with a spacial train so0 as to bo on hand to “heip Tom,” 16N © TTER Joe Bartley drifted in from Atkinson yostorday to s00 how bis boom for the troas- urership was standing the dry spell. Bart- ley declared that the rumor that he had tlea up with Tom Majors and George Bowerman was absolutely without founaation, and fur- thermore explained that such u move would be the hoight of folly, as iv was exceodingly doubtful whether or uot Majors could turn over the goods in case he bargained to do so, as Majors hailea from down io Wortham'’s country and it could haraly be supposed that such a deal could be carried out even if he desirea it As for Boworman, he declared that he would’t tie up with him anyway. Ho said that tho auditor’s oftice, as run for the past four years, was responsible to a greater de- gree than any of the others for the disrepute iuto which the vepublican party had fallen with tho farmors of the state and that the nomination and election of Bowerman would probably mean the retention of Tom Benton in the office as deputy and a continuation of the present state of affairs. He said he was running as the candidato of the northern aud westorn portions of the state, and that when it came to a question of geographical qualifi- cation he was 'way ahead of the other fel- lows. L. E. Walker of Beatrice, who was one of the district delegates to the Minneapolis con- vention, reports thut Seuator Paddock has the cinch on the tiage county delegati He declared that outside of Paddock Gage couniy candidates were not in it “Funk wants to go to congress,” he said, “but he don't stana a ghost of a show to gt the nomination: aeither does A, G. Chyme, who aspires to the state auditorship. They are both in the aeal to down [Paadock, and Chyme was sprung merely to give Guzo county another canaidate and hury Pad- dock’s chances. As a matter of fact, how- ever, he won't get the county delegution nor any womber of 1t.” According to Mr. Waiker extensive propar- ations are being made for the reception of Governor MeKinloy,swho will speak ia Beatrice August 2. Hon. Roswell G. Horr goes east after his speech at Hastings and will return to Falls City Monday, July 23, where he 15 billed to speak. Preparations are being mado to give Mr. Horr a rousing reception all ulong the line. The call for a clean republican state ticket and the relsgation to the rear of all those whose records have been tatnted in any man- ner, is heard oun all sides. Here is an echo from the Custer County Loader: “Give us n good ciean republicar state ticket and it witl win.” Another comes from the Lincoln News: “‘One weak spot in the record of a caudidate, under the existing conditions, mght casily cause defeat. The success of the party is of far more importance than the satisfaction of individuat ambition. Candidates should be selected with a view to their availability, and ivshould not ve necessary to warn party w ftight shy of stampodes at the stato convention.” And the West Point Republican speaks plainly: *“One of the worst features of the republican party organization is th3 howgish- ness that pervades its wouldbo party leaders who usurp ail the representation and emolu- ments to be hag, never giving it thougnt that there are many whose hard work within es entitle thom to somo recognition. er, every dog has his day.” the If Judge Maxwell will make the race for governor, it is said ho can have the support of the York county delegation. The harmony in the independent ranks still continues to make 1tself manifest. Tho Holdrege Progress, an allianc) organ, is tak- ing a band in elping to unite tho party. It says: W have no dosire to nterfere in the fight betweon Mr. Burrows and Mr. Van Wyck. We will say, however, that we have in our possession proofs of the treachory of Mr. Van Wyck that would eterually brand any man as @ traitor to any cause and wo do not have to go outside of tho old Second con- gressionul district. As poor as we are in purse we arc going to publish a fow extra copies of oue edition brevious to August 3, showing this geatleman up in a new light. What we have is av present known to but cight persons, as far as we kuow, and we are one of the eight.” Porhaps as a result of this awful revela- tion which is to coms, the Hayes county delegation to tue 1ndupendent state conven- tion has been instructed for John H. Powers for governor. Eric Johnson is another harmonious in- dividual who makes this vicious stab with his pen at J. D. Chamberiain and W, H. Dech: *The geutlemon named have been manipulating the political wives in regular old party style for the congressional nomi- unation, We should have no such relic of the old partios as o self-sooking candidate bo- fore conventions are h:d. Lot the psopie free and untrammeled select their own stanaard bearers, .ot us practico what we preach, unioss wo want to be written down as lying hypocrites and brazon frauds.’ The democratic factions aro also getting together, Nat Smaits lovingly re Juan Boyle as **Don Juan” and says hops somebody will do somothing to relieve this Boyle, which has long ago como to & head.” Mr. Smails also quotes Govornor Boyd's assortion that ho (Boyd) had conclusively demonstrated that ho was ths strongest man 1n bis party 1n the state, and then Mr. Smails adds: “He was strong like Sampson (when not under Delilal’s influence), who pulled down the temple—aud he was under it. P>, Marvin, however, comes to Boyd's rescue and says: ‘“Governor Boyd has givea 1t out that the democrats of Neo braska would nominate a straight ticket this fall. Governor Boyd is right. Fusion doos not fuse, and tho people have beguu Lo see it in that light.” George Cheyenne county is said to be for James Whitchead for congress in the big. Sixth, and the Sidney Telograph declares that “with Whitehead as the republican nominae, Kuow-nothiog Kem will be beaten, fusion or no fusion,” Eugeno Moore capturod another county delegation Seturday. Stanton county’s dele- gates were iustructed to cast their ballots for Moore, which makes tweuly-thres votes the young man has pledged. But another caudidate has appeared in the fiela, F.

Haiuer of Aurora. Stauffer of Fromont 1s still in the raco for the state treasurership along with Bartley, Wortham and Youngors. ““When the Vandervoorts have all left the ranks of the ropublicans, it will bo a granda old party indoad. Hasten the day."’ Thus shouts tho Beaver Valloy Tribune. Under the head of “Monumental Foolish- ness.” Krasmus M. Correll of the Habron Journal observes: “The action of the state republican central committoo in calling the stato convontion ns oarly as August 4 is simply mouumental foolishnoss and bare, bleak, bala-hoaded lack of political good sonse. Kvon ordinary ‘horse’ sonse ought tohave indicatod to the committeo that such unneccessary ard unsoemly hasto was de- ficiont in oven tho simplest elomonts of po- litical goueralship. 1t is at loast a month or six weeks 00 soon. The peoplo are not yet roady for stato conventions. 1t is too soon to precipitate tho state campalgn on the ever worked and nevor rve- warded country press. But worso than all else, the stato central committee has no business to precipitate (as theiraction will do unless recalled) tho courty campumigns. It would naturally bo supposed that tho bitter exporiences of tho past would show tho committeo the glaring lack of wisdom in holdiug conventions too soon and bofore the conventions of opposimg parties, It is sim- ply exposing tho lines of political attack ana the plans of & campaign to the enemy who can then thoroby post himsslf on overy point. Inthe present campaign, in viow of possible fusion of the enomios, it is not only foolish, but rveproheusivle.
