HOW MUCH per line are the impeached officials paying the World-Herald for its quotations from the campaign editorials of Tir By THE trial of the men indicted for de- frauding the state in the matter of fur- nishing supplies for the state insane asylum has again been postponed until the September term of court. It would be interesting to know just how much influence the impeached officials exerted in securing the further postponement, THE law requiring the deposit of the state’'s unemployed funds has been in operation for more than three months. Is it being enforced, or is the state treas- urer following theexample of hisprede- cessors and placing the money in banks that turn the intervest into his own pock- ets? The people certainly have the right to know. WHAT would any corporation or firm do with a manager who would hire a no- torious boodle man to invest 340,000 of their money in the purchase of labor and material without any bill of particulars? Would they keep such a manager in their employ for a solitary day? That is the milk in the cocoanut of the casermow on trial before the supreme court. * THE action of Commissioner Garneau in setting apavt #5.000 for the purpose of exhibiting Nebraska’s live stock inter- ests at the World's fair will meet with the hearty approbation of the agri- cultural classes of the state. Nebraska's greatest wealth lies in her agricultural and grazing interests and both are en- titled to prominence in the state's ex- hibit, SUPPOSE that the manager of a great office building or hotel should certify to vouchers for several hundred tons of coal for the months of July or August when every simpleton knows enough to know that the fusl could not possibly have been used. What would the pro- prietors do? Would they keep such a manager, or would they dismiss him as eriminally negligent and untrustworthy? “This is precisely the ground upon which Hastings, Allen and Humphrey have been impeached and placed on trial. ‘THE people of Hastings seem bent on emulating the enterprise of Gothenburg and Kearney in utilizing the waters of the Platte river, to obtain motive power. A scheme for constructing a canal that will bring the water to a point about fitty feet above the level of the city is under way, and it is thought probabla the canal will be completed before cold weather returns, and that machinery will be running by next spring. The atility of these canal enterprises is al- ready established by practical experi- ence and the advantages of the cheap motive power thus afforded are well un- derstood. IF THE Omaha double-endor was con- vinced during the past two years that the officials in control of state institu- tlons were criminally negligent and allowed the state to be robbed and pillaged by contractors and employes why did it throw eold water upon the investigating committee, make malicious aud baseless assaults upon Mr. Keckley and other members who were trying to purge the state house, and why does it now print editorials inspired and written by the lawyers who are defending the impeached oflicials and by the men who want to perpetuate the rotten ring that has looted the stato treasury? EVERYTHING seoms to point to a prof- itable market for the farmers’ erops this year. What with the failure of the wheat erop in Europe, the dependence of that country upon the United States for a cereal substituto, and the great damage to wheat in this country rendor- ing probable a large similar local de- mand, there will in all likelihood bo a valuable market for corn. And now word comes that the drouth and heat have spoiled the sugar boet crop in Eu- rope. The consumption of beet root sugar in European countries is something enormous and hence the likelihood of an increased demand for the product h;qm this country. The farmers of Ne- braska ave planting & large acreage of eorn and the outlook for a good crop is now esteemod excellent. Considerable attention is also being pald to the sugar beot fields, and a larger acreage than ~ heretofore has alveady been planted. Ower in Colorado, too, farmers ave be- ginning to interest themselves in this product and one paper says thatin the ~ Uncompahgre valley alone 2,000 acres have been planted 1o begts, ‘and rebuk v NA ¢ 1S ol THEY AGREED 10U WKELIL. ‘When tho attorneys for the impeached wtato officials mado & bargain with Architect Beindorft w0 organize and drill a block of five experts, who would appraise the eell house high enough to vindicate Bill Dorgan's integrity they evidently did not intond that the figures of the appraisers should disclose the fact that this oxpert testimony was gotten up and agreed on for the ocoms sion. Mr. Beindorff spent ten days at Lincoln in measuring and figuring. He held close conference with the men ho had engaged for tho defendants and crammed them with the figures so as to make the totals tally as nearas possible with the amount which Dorgan claims to have paid out for the cell honse. The only thing in the way of the obliging city hall architect was his in- ability to get tho fifth expert who would chime in with his extraordinary compu- tation. S0 the combine of four hired experts managed to come within $000 of each other in appraising the house that Dorgan built. In fact, two of the four were within 77 of each other, which shows that they are extraordinary calculators. 1t is portinent at this stage, although outside of the regular court proceedings, to make a few inquiries. Why did Mr. Beindorff put in ton days at Lincoln when at the very utmost he could have inspected, measured and figured the two and two thirdsof the cell house walls with all the incidentals in less than ten hours? How much of a retainer did Mr. Beindorfl get for his extraordinary services as contractor for expert testi- mony in defense of boodlers? How much of a retainer did each of the other expert architects get besides their wit- ness fees to join him in this extravagant appraisement? As a matter of fact, one of theso ex- perts declared to the editor of THE BEE on ono day that he wanted to testify for the state, and the day following he sent word to the managers of impeach- ment that he did not want to be sub- peenaed by the state because he had been engaged by the other side. What infer- ence could be drawn from this fact ex- cepting that a very big retainer was paid to these expert witnesses in order to impose on the court by misleading and extravagant cstimates? ‘While the court can take no notice of anything that the press may say, itis only right and proper that this kind of jugglery and imposture shall be exposed POLITiCAL AFFAIRS ABROAD, THE SUNDAY BEE'S European dis- patches were peculiarly interesting for their clear presentation of the political situation in the leading countries of Kurope, with the conclusions of corre- spondents whose judgment is based upon the best sources of information. Itis plain that political affairs abroad are again assuming a very serious aspect and that the possibility of important changes in the near future is greater than at any other time tor several years. Germany is the centre of attention and the campaign in that country for the election ot a new Reichstag is being watched with profound interest. As it progresses the indications increase that the government will suffer defeat, and this would seem to be apprehended by the emperor. There is consequently danger that he may lose his temper and discretion and thereby still further in- jure his cause. His utterances since the defeat of the army bill have not gen- erally been regarded as judicious, and the reports regarding the course of tho campaign indicate that they are resented by the people. The impression that in the event of the new Roichstag being against him the emperor will again dis- solve that body and assert his im- perial right to declare the army bill a law, finds warrant in the character of the emperor, with whom it goes hard to submit to legislative restraints. Most carnestly believing that the security of the empire and the assurance of conti- nental peace depend upon the additional support for the military establishment which he asks, the kaiser would prob- ably find it impossible to resist the im- pulse to override the popular will in case he should be again denied his de- mand by the representatives of the peo- ple. What the political consequences of such a course might be is problem- atical, but it is quite conceiva- ble that the emperor might find it necessary to appeal to the army, which is intensely loyal, to sustain him. Out of such a condition of affairs it is impossible to see what might ultimately result. It would be a desperate exped- ient and therefore necessarily fraught with danger. So far as France is concerned there does not appear to be any very sound reasons for apprehending that the Sep- tomber elections will result in any im- portant change in political conditions. The French people have within the past two years hal their republican- ism and their patriotism put to a very severe strain and they have demonstrated that they are well satis- fied with this form of government. As to tho political disturbances in the other countries, their importance is dif- ficult to estimate. It is & striking fact, worthy of the careful attention of the political student, that only in Russia and Switzerland, representing the ex- tremes of government, are the condi- tions normal. THE ANTI-IRUST CONVENTION, It is to be hoped that every state which has been invited to participate in the anti-teust convention to bs held in Chicago June 5 and 6 will be well repre- sented by men who are heartily in sym- pathy with the object of the convention. The call for this conference of amti- monopolists was made by the governor of Minnesota in accordance with a reso- lution of the legislature of that state for the specific purpose of discussing the great coal combination which has for years been plundgring the people, but it is now proposed that the convention shall take a broader scope and consider the monopolies generally, with a viow to suggesting national ana state legisla- tion for the suppression of the trusts and arousing a public sentiment that will make itself felt upon congress and state logislatures. As this will be the first conference of the kind ever held, and as the subject vl to be considered is of the very greatest fmportance to the interosts and welfare of the poople, 1t is manifestly most de- sirable that it shall be so strong in num- bers and character as to carry & wolght and influence, which the legislative ropresentatives of the peo- ple and their servants in ex- ecutive positions will not dare to dis- regard. There is urgent need of a con- certed and vigorous popular movement, wholly outside of politics, for the over- throw of the conspiracies against trade whose combined power now represents hundreds of millions of dollars and which are steadily increasing. Such a movement seems absolutely necessary to stir up those who make laws and those who ave charged with their execution to an adeqfiate sense of their duty. The people are periodically reassured by promises that something is to be done to relieve them from the exactions of monopolies, but an experience of this sort for three years has impaired confidence in those whose duty it is to give them relief and ought to have convinced them that there is little to be hoped for so long as the people make no earnest and deter- mined effort to have their wishes and demands complied with., For three years we have had a general law which was carefully framed and deliberately enacted prohibiting trusts, combinations and agreements in restraint of trade and declaring them unlawful. A federal court has affirmed the constitutionality of this act and the highest legal ability in the country has de- clared that it is sufficient to crush out every form of monopoly to which it applies, such as the coal com- bination, the sugar trust and all of the more than one hundred kindred con- spiracies against trade. Yet this law is practically a dead lettor and the people have no satisfactory assurance that it is not to be allowed to remain so. There are rumored intentions of an effort to enforce it, but how much credence they are entitled to the public does not know. It has been well suggested that the anti-trust convention, in order to have the influerce and usefulness it should have, must be essentially a busi- ness body, taking some practical action rather than wasting time in denuncia- tion and vain theorizing. Itsobject will be defeated if those who attend attempt to convert it to the purpose of making political capital. It is intended to voice the popnlar demand for relief from the exactions of monopoly and it will fail to accomplish what is hoped for from it if the convention is allowed to drift away from its clearly-defined object. THE EASTERN VIEW OF IT. It was noted a few days ago that there is a strong public sentiment in the southwest and in this section, which is likely to grow, against the high rail- road rates to the World’s fair. It was remarked at that time that the demand for reduced rates came from all quarters and that there seemed to be a sort of tacit agreement among the people of all sections of the country not to go to the fair unless transportation charges are reduced. Tt is undoubtedly a fact that western roads are not carrying so many people to Chicago as they expected to at this time, and it appears .that the same is true of the eastern roads. The Boston Advertiser 'observes that it is be- coming apparent that the people are not flocking to Chicago in the way that the American roads expected, and the prospect that rates will be demoralized in consequence is by no means an un- likely one. It says “‘there is absolutely no doubt that there are very many peo- ple in the east who had intended visit- ing the fair, but who have been de- terred by the action of the traffic asso- which ciation,” was based on the impression that the eagerness of the public to attend the fair would lead it to accept whatever rates were offered. ‘“Theexperiment has been tried for some time,” remarks the Advertiser, “‘and it ia an open secret that it has not resulted well for many lines. The people will not go in great crowds under the existing rates, and the smaller lines must either secure a reduction of rates or go without the business they had expected.” Our Boston contemporary regards a demoralizing rate war, repeating the experience during the centennial ex- position of 1876, as inevitable if the stronger lines insist on maintaining present rates, and suggests that the only question for railroad men to decide is, shall the rates be re- duced in a legitimate way or by a dam- aging and unnecessary rate war? There was much better reason for establishing high rates by the eastern roads than by the western, since there is a greater proportion of the people of the east than of the west who have the means and time to attend the fair, yet public com- plaint seems to be quiteas general in the former as in the latter soction. The fact is that it is not altogethor a ques- tion of being able to afford the expendi- ture which inspires popular pro- test. The feeling that the rail- voads are taking an undue advan- tage of their opportunity has a great deal to do with the popular opposition to the high rates, which is by no means confined to people of small means. An s o s illustration of this was furnished by the local stock commission firm whose com munication to THE BEE on this subject was referred ‘to a fow days ago. They can afford to pay the rate, but they de- cline to do s0 beeause they believe it to be, under the ecircumstances, unfair and unreasonable, and as a matter of prin- ciple they prefer to remain away from the fair rather than countenance such a policy on the part of the railroads. That there are thousands of others throughout this section, and indeed in every section of the country, who feel this way is not to be doubted, and while it is not probable that all of them will stay away from the fair unless railroad rates are reduced many will undoubtedly do so. The issue that has thus been made be- tween the public and the railroads will eventually be settled, there is small reason to doubt, in favor of the public. Popular protest against extortion in Chicago has had & wholesome effect and the cost of living in that city is being brought to a reasonable basis. Rapacity has received & check and it will not again bo generally praocticed. Ttis in the power of the 16 to compel the railronds to bo fair ghd reasonablo and it is highly probable:thmt it will evont« aally do so. 0 NOT much has been said about the tin industry since the présidential campaign, but if the result of the election last November had the offect to retard the progress of the inawstry it did not en- tirely put a stop to it. One of the largest and best equipped tin plate mills inthe world is to be started at New Castle, Pa., about the middle of July another plant is about to be started at Youngstown, O.; a gompany to manu- facture tin plate was recently incor- porated at Niles, O., and several other projects in this branch of in- dustry are reported. The facts re- garding production by established plants are also encouraging, so that it is evident that 'this industry did not re- ceive s0 great a shock from the result of the last \national campaign as was apprehended. Arrangements have been completed for an exhibit of American tin plate at the World's fair, and as this will represent business and not politics it must prove a very interesting object lesson of what has really been accom- plished in the development of this in- dustry in the United States. NEBRASKA'S liquor license law has for years been the model for a majority of the states of the union, and it is not strange that it should impress the Cana- dian commissioners so favorably.

St. Paul Ploneer Press: Denominational unity will never come as long as the world is progressing. Religious unity, which is toler- ance, may triumph, and perhaps has alroady begun to do so. This is what the Christian Endeavor people and the rest really have in mind when they pray that the churches may become one, although they do not realize it. When they are all so magnanimous and so sincere that they can sit down in any house of worship, no matter what its creed may be, and bow the head iu smypathy, then the rea unity will have arrived, and tho only onc which could mean health and vigor for re- ligion itself. Chicago Herald: The insolence and sav- agery of religious fanatics have made more converts to iufidelity than have all the teachers-of infidelity. They have turned the gospel of peaco into s message of war. In denouncing the best, the purest, and most humaaoe peovle of this age for failing to ac. cept the specialties of their creeds and to hail as the best light the gloom of their fast days, they have done more than all the athe- istic teachers from Voltaire to Ingersoll have done to promote the cause of atheism. It is time that they should call a halt. They should reverse their methods. They should try a new departure and endeavor to pro- mote the object of the gospel by gospel veach- ings and by gospel plans of action.
