THE Chicago financial flurry brought to tho surface a man who refused to accept any form of money but silver. Secretary Carlisle should cultivate that man’s acquaintance. THE people of Nebraska now have a right to ask the ' rejuvenated State Board of Public Lands and Buildings just what it proposes to do with the penitentiar; ntract. THE erowds at the World's fair seem 10 be increasing daily. When the regu- lar summer vacation time sets in an attendance of 200,000 ‘a day will be looked upon as a common oceurrence. THE action of the Board of Firo and Police Commissioners in purchasing a large invoice of hose for the fire depart- ment of Omaha agents is commendable.

It is & thoroughly Californian idea and one that is likely to be carried into effect. THE fact that a South Omaha packing sompany yesterday ordered $150,000 worth of tin for immediate delivery proves conclusively that there is nothing ethereal about the brand of prosperity which is in use in this particular corner pf Nebraska.

A significant suggestion in vevifica- tion of the trite apothogm that when rogues fall out honost men get their dues is found in the fsct that the pro- test on which this action is tal from a lawyer and claim agent, carpetbag ex-member of congre Hale Sypher from Lounisiana, who him- solf has a claim for a large sl public mutton due him under an old contract in getting the Choctaw and Chickasaw elaim through congress and tho departments. Mr, Sypher having heen ousted from the prosceution of the case by the present delegation from these Indian nations does not propose that the other schemers shall regale themselves with tho sumptuous dict he had prepared for his own entortainment. He tells all about the contracts and arrangement between the Indians, the lawye and the lobbyists, and charges at under the contract 20 per cont of the whole amount due the Cheetaws is to be paid to one Robert L. Owen, who is to that out of this sum all the 1 agents and others who have to be paid. Syphe tract with Owen con important proviso: *“Hoe (Owen) employ all the attorneys and legal talent, political influence, public press and engage such othe sies as shall' be necessary to sccure to the Cheetaw nation her free rightsin the prc out cf acontingent fee of 20 per cent, herein contracted to him.” The con- tract sets aside an additicnal 5 per cent to be divided ameng the three delegates from the Choctaw nation who have had charge of the claim in Washington, thus giving them each about \ Mr. Owen being one of those delegates. Mr. Sypher suggests to the president that the ouly equitable way to distrib- ute this sum of money so that it would getinto the hands of the persons to whom it belongs, and for whose benefit congress appropriated it, is to have it paid direetly to the Indians individuaily Dby any army paymaster or, other duly authorized disbursing officer of the gov- crnment. How Sypher proposes to rc imburse himself, should his suggestion be carried out, does not appear, but it is safo to assume that his proposition is not made with any view to self-immo- lation. But it does appear probable that, however the money may be paid, the Indians are again to become the vi tims of the greed and avarice of a hord of corrupt lobbyists. ~ And thus will go on record another instance of the dis- honesty and injustice that the aborigin. with rare, isolated, exceptions, has suf- tered through the whole history of the nation when selling FLis lands to the gov- ernment. ate show ment. md sum h receive see awyers, claims are that the con- ins the following S0V ge ager nises A TOPIC OF INTEREST. Interest is now centering on the possi- bility of securing the repeal of the gilve pu-chase law of 1890, known as the Shes man act, It isknownthat thesentiment of scme of the free coinagoe advocates has undergone a change as to the expediency of its repeal since the last session of the IMifty-second congress. During that se: sion it will be remembered several bills for attaining that end were introduced Ly both friends and foes of the free coin- age of silver. The fricnds of freecoinag desired repeal in order to get rid of on the bullion quality in the silver pur- chased; their opponents wanted repeal to get vid of the purchase altogether, A motion of Senator Hill of w York, to take up his bill for reveal was defeated in the senate February 6, by a vote of 42 to 23, A simlar motion in the house o days later meta like fate, and Lence no result was reached. The per- sonnel of both branches of congress has also undergone a change and it is now plain to be secn that the friends of silver will oppose to the utmost any proposed unconditional repeal of the law. The fight over the question promises to be more earnest and determined and of greater interest to the country than any other that can engage the attention of congress until it is finally disposed of. Senator Lodge of Massachusotts, ac- cording to a Washington dispateh, is of the opinion that the strongest way in which to present the proposition for a repeal is to present it as a single quoes- tion, not encumbered by anything else. He says that to couple with it the prop- osition for the rvepoal of the state bank tax would lose most of the republican votes for it, whereas it would have, 1t is estimated, about 120 votes from republi- cans in the house if presented alone. Mr. Lodge has much greater confidence in the repeal of the Sherman law by the house, however, than he has in similar action by the senate. He esti- mates that in the senate ten or twelve ropublicans will vote against the repeal, and it is problematical how many demo- crats the administration will be able to influence to vote for repeal, notwith- standing the knowled of the presi- dent’s pronounced views on the subject.

It has been well | said that to Edwin Booth, more than | | to any other American actor, belongs the credit for the production of the classic drama, and especially the Shakes pearian tragedics, on the American | stage within recent years.

During tho later years of his life Mr. Booth neglected such impersonations as were connected prominently with his carlier carcer, but which are insepar- ablo from his history as an actor, and in the presentation of which he has had fow equals. It has been well said that for his efforts to keep the pure Anglo-Saxon plays on the stage; for his refusal to take up the lower or looser plane of dramatic interprotation, the nation owes Mr. Booth as great a debt of thanks as for the genius which he has shown in his work. In fact, says one anthority, so thoroughly had he entered into his plan of presenting only classical works that the people hardly realized that there | was no other American who could con- | tinue that work. Now that the great | actor is dead, the realization comes with i added force. | Bdwin Booth was a great actor, and | no lover of the drama in its highest | conception living in this generation [ ean expeet to see his peer. Opinions will | differ | impe as to which of his many great sonations was the greatest, but there will be no difference of opinion as to the proposition that he was inall respects the greatest actor of his time and porhaps the greatest the American age has known.” SING Montanans e canal in the Missouri valley | in that state for irrigating purposes which, when completed, will “hrow open to settlement 260 farms of 160 acres cach.

THE decision of Justice Bradloy of the United States supreme court that an officcholder can apply to the courts for a mandamus to show reason why he was | discharged may somewhat interfere with the autocratic methods of ®ome of the departmental officials, buv it will tend to increase the efficiency and insure more respectful consideration of the civil service law. This decision estab- lishes one of the special purposes the law was intended to promote, that of af- fording redress to the subordinate when he has suffered injustice from a su- perior. It is to be apprehended, also, that, in the eye of the law, some other excuse must hereafter be afforded for removal than that of offensive partisan- ship. Tue reinstated officials have applied to the supreme court for a few instrue- tions in regard to how they shall por form the duties of their offices. Ordi- narily the supreme court is not in the kindergartea business, but in the case of the “‘vindicated” officials there seems to boa necessity for instruction of some sort.
